1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Netflix, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples include the estimate of useful lives and residual value of its DVD library; the valuation of stock-based compensation; and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth therein. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2005 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2006. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company’s prior years’ Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Proceeds from sales of previously viewed DVDs and the related cost of DVDs sold were reported as Sales revenues and Cost of sales revenues, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in previous years. In light of discussions with the SEC and consistent with the guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 95, Statement of Cash Flows, and SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, in the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company began to report the net gain on sales of DVDs as a separate line item within Operating expenses. Accordingly, Sales revenues and Cost of sales revenues contained in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Cash flows associated with the acquisition of its DVD Library and proceeds from sale of DVDs continue to be classified as cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Additionally, in light of discussions with the SEC, the Company reclassified fulfillment expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Cost of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2005. In prior periods the Company had reported Fulfillment expenses as a component of Operating expenses. Accordingly, Cost of revenues, Gross profit and Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

In accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”), stock-based compensation is no longer presented as a separate line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation is now presented in the same lines as cash compensation paid to the same individuals. Stock-based compensation recognized in prior periods has been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s cash, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their carrying value due to their short maturity.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2006, Other assets included restricted cash of $750 related to a workers’ compensation insurance deposit. In addition, Other current assets included $2,548 set aside for plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses in the Chavez vs. Netflix, Inc. lawsuit.

Netflix, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

Revenue Recognition

Subscription revenues are recognized ratably over each subscriber’s monthly subscription period. Refunds to subscribers are recorded as a reduction of revenues.

Cost of Revenues

Subscription. Cost of subscription consists of revenue sharing expenses, amortization of the DVD library, amortization of intangible assets related to equity instruments issued to studios, and postage and packaging expenses related to DVDs provided to paying subscribers. Revenue sharing expenses are recorded as DVDs subject to revenue sharing agreements are shipped to subscribers.

The terms of some revenue sharing agreements with studios obligate the Company to make minimum revenue sharing payments for certain titles. The Company amortizes minimum revenue sharing prepayments (or accretes an amount payable to studios if the payment is due in arrears) as revenue sharing obligations are incurred. A provision for estimated shortfall, if any, on minimum revenue sharing payments is made in the period in which the shortfall becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, the terms of some revenue-sharing agreements with studios provide for rebates based on achieving specified performance levels. The Company accrues for these rebates as earned based on historical title performance and estimates of demand for the titles over the remainder of the title term. Actual rebates may vary which could result in an increase or reduction in the estimated amounts previously accrued.

Fulfillment expenses. Fulfillment expenses represent those costs incurred in operating and staffing the Company’s fulfillment and customer service centers, including costs attributable to receiving, inspecting and warehousing the Company’s DVD library. Fulfillment expenses also include credit card fees.

Technology and Development

Technology and development expenses consist of payroll and related costs incurred in testing, maintaining and modifying the Company’s Web Site, its recommendation service, developing solutions for downloading movies to subscribers, telecommunications systems and infrastructure and other internal-use software systems. Technology and development expenses also include depreciation on computer hardware and capitalized software.

Marketing

Marketing expenses consist of compensation and related expenses and advertising expenses. Advertising expenses include marketing program expenditures and other promotional activities, including revenue sharing expenses, postage and packaging expenses and library amortization related to free trial periods. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred except for advertising production costs, which are expensed the first time the advertising is run.

In November of 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“ EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor, which addresses the accounting for cash consideration given to a reseller of a vendor’s products from the vendor. The Company and its vendors participate in a variety of cooperative advertising programs and other promotional programs in which the vendors provide the Company with cash consideration in exchange for marketing and advertising of the vendor’s products. If the consideration received represents reimbursement of specific incremental and identifiable costs incurred to promote the vendor’s product, it is recorded as an offset to the

Netflix, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

associated marketing expense incurred. Any reimbursement greater than the specific incremental and identifiable costs incurred is recognized as a reduction of cost of revenues when recognized in the Company’s statements of operations.

Gain on disposal of DVDs

Gain on disposal of DVDs represents the difference between proceeds from sales of previously viewed DVDs and associated cost of DVD sales. Cost of DVD sales includes the net book value of the DVDs sold, shipping charges and, where applicable, a contractually specified percentage of the sales value for the DVDs that are subject to revenue sharing agreements.

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective method. The Company had previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 in 2003, and restated prior periods at that time. Because the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 and SFAS 123R were materially consistent under its equity plans, the adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company classified tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options as financing cash flows.

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Specifically, the pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition of uncertain tax positions. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments which amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. This statement is effective for all

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

3. DVD Library

The Company acquires DVDs from studios and distributors through either direct purchases or revenue sharing agreements. The Company acquires DVDs for the purpose of renting them to its subscribers and earning subscription rental revenues and as such, the Company considers its DVD library to be a productive asset. Accordingly, the Company classifies its DVD Library as a non-current asset on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, in accordance with SFAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows, cash outflows for the acquisition of the DVD Library, including any upfront non-refundable payments required under revenue sharing agreements, are classified as cash flows from investing activities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company amortizes its DVD library, less estimated salvage value, on a “sum-of-the-months” accelerated basis over its estimated useful life. The useful life of the new-release DVDs and back-catalogue DVDs is estimated to be 1 year and 3 years, respectively. In estimating the useful life of the DVD library, the Company takes into account library utilization as well as an estimate for lost or damaged DVDs. Volume purchase discounts received from studios on the purchase of titles are recorded as a reduction of DVD library inventory when earned.

The Company provides a salvage value of $3.00 per DVD for those direct purchase DVDs that the Company estimates it will sell at the end of their useful lives. For those DVDs that the Company does not expect to sell, no salvage value is provided.

The Company capitalizes film costs in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2 (“SOP 00-2”) Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films. Net capitalized film costs are recorded within DVD Library as such amounts are currently not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Capitalized film costs include costs to develop and produce movies, which primarily consist of concept development, pre-production and production. Capitalized film costs are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value on an individual film basis. Once a film is released, capitalized film production costs are amortized in the proportion that the revenue during the period for each film bears to the estimated total revenue to be received from all sources for the film (“Ultimate Revenue”) under the individual-film-forecast method as defined in SOP 00-2. In the event a film is not set for production within three years from the time of the first capitalized transaction, all such costs will be expensed. The Company makes certain estimates and judgments of Ultimate Revenue for each film based on performance of comparable titles and our knowledge of the industry. Estimates of Ultimate Revenue are reviewed periodically and are revised if necessary. Unamortized film production costs are evaluated for impairment each quarter on a film-by-film basis in accordance with the requirements of SOP 00-2. If forecasts of Ultimate Revenue are not sufficient to recover the unamortized film costs for that film, the unamortized film costs will be written down to fair value.

DVD library and accumulated amortization are as follows:

	December 31, 2005			June 30, 2006
DVD library, gross	$	304,490		$	382,703

5. Stockholders’ Equity

On May 3, 2006, the Company issued 3.5 million shares of common stock upon the closing of a public offering for net proceeds of $101.1 million.

6. Employee Stock benefit Plans

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In February 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which reserved a total of 1,166,666 shares of common stock for issuance. The 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan also provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance on the first day of each year, beginning with 2003, equal to the lesser of:

•

2 percent of the outstanding shares of the common stock on the first day of the applicable year;

•

666,666 shares; and

•

such other amount as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine.

Under the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, shares of the Company’s common stock may be purchased over an offering period with a duration of 24 months at 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value on the first day of the applicable offering period or on the last day of the six-month purchase period. In May 2006, the Company amended its 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan so that offering periods under the plan going forward have a duration of 6 months instead of 24 months. Employees may invest up to 15 percent of their gross compensation through payroll deductions. In no event shall an employee be permitted to purchase more than 8,334 shares of common stock during any six-month purchase period. As of June 30, 2006, 2,344,940 shares were available for future issuance under the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Stock Option Plans

In December 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Plan, which was amended and restated in October 2001. The 1997 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of stock purchase rights, incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options.

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

In February 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Plan. The 2002 Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of non-statutory stock options and stock purchase rights to employees, directors and consultants. The Company initially reserved a total of 1,333,334 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2002 Stock Plan. In addition, 643,884 remaining shares reserved but not yet issued under the 1997 Stock Plan as of the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering were added to the total reserved shares of 1,333,334 under the 2002 Stock Plan and deducted from the total reserved shares under the 1997 Stock Plan. Prior to its amendment and restatement, the Company’s 2002 Stock Plan further provided for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance on the first day of each year, beginning with 2003, equal to the lesser of:

•

5 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock on the first day of the applicable year;

•

2,000,000 shares; and

•

such other amount as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine.

Options granted under the 2002 Stock Plan generally expire in 10 years, however, they may be limited to five years if the optionee owns stock representing more than 10 percent of the Company. Generally, the Company’s Board of Directors grants options at an exercise price of not less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Prior to the third quarter of 2003, the vesting periods generally provided for options to vest over three to four years. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company began granting fully vested options on a monthly basis. The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.

In May 2006, the 2002 Stock Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, eliminate the ability to reprice options without stockholder approval, to remove the provisions that provide for automatic annual increases in the number of shares available, permit the Company to deduct certain performance-based equity awards for tax purposes and to increase the limitation on the number of options that can be granted annually to any individual from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 or in connection with initial service from 333,333 to 500,000.

A summary of option activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 is as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the second quarter of 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2006. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 was $2.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively.

Cash received from option exercises and purchases under the ESPP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $4.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006. See Note 1 for a description of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R. The fair value of employee stock options granted as well as the fair value of shares issued under the employee stock purchase plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value option grants:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2006	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2006
Dividend yield	0%	0%	0%	0%
Expected volatility	45%	44-46%	45%-85%	44%-53%
Risk-free interest rate	3.81%-3.91%	4.87%	2.85%-3.91%	4.45%-4.87%
Expected life (in years)	3.0-4.0	3.0-4.5	1.0-4.0	3.0-4.5

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value shares issued under the employee stock purchase plan:


	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2006
Dividend yield	0%	0%
Expected volatility	37%-45%	39%
Risk-free interest rate	3.14%-3.64%	5.01%
Expected life (in years)	0.5-2.0	0.5

Since the second quarter of 2003, the Company began granting stock options on a monthly basis. Such stock options are designated as non-qualified stock options and vest immediately. As a result of immediate vesting, stock-based compensation expense determined under SFAS No. 123R is fully recognized upon the stock option grants and no estimate is required for pre-vesting option forfeitures. For those stock options granted prior to the third quarter of 2003 with three to four-year vesting periods, the Company continues to amortize the deferred compensation related to the stock options over the remaining vesting periods using the accelerated multiple-option approach.

In light of the guidance in SAB 107, the Company re-evaluated the assumptions used to estimate the value of stock options beginning in the second quarter of 2005.

The Company estimates expected volatility based on a blend of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and implied volatility of tradable forward call options to purchase shares of its common stock.

Netflix, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

The decision to use implied volatility was based on the Company’s assessment that implied volatility of publicly traded options in its common stock is expected to be more reflective of market conditions and, therefore, can reasonably be expected to be a better indicator of expected volatility than historical volatility of its common stock.

The Company bifurcates its option grants into two employee groupings (executive and non-executive) based on exercise behavior and considers several factors in determining the estimate of expected life for each group, including the historical option exercise behavior, the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company used an estimate of expected life of 4.5 years for one group and 3 years for the other group. Prior to the second quarter of 2006, the Company used an estimate of expected life of 4 years for one group and 3 years for the other group.

The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model.

The weighted-average fair value of employee stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 was $4.55 and $11.89 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options is $0.04 million which is expected to be recognized over the next nine months.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, related to stock option plans and employee stock purchases under SFAS 123R for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 which was allocated as follows:


	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005		June 30, 2006			June 30, 2005		June 30, 2006

Total stock-based compensation after income-taxes	$	3,423	$	1,908		$	7,702	$	3,924

7. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain.

8. Net Income (loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist primarily of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants to purchase common stock and shares currently purchasable pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan using the treasury stock method. The shares used in the computation of net income per share are as follows (rounded to the nearest thousand):


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2006	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2006
Weighted-average shares – basic	53,190,000	58,383,000	53,005,000	56,809,000
Effect of dilutive potential common shares:
Warrants	8,112,000	8,177,000	—	8,286,000
Employee stock options	3,290,000	2,615,000	—	2,718,000

Weighted-average shares – diluted	64,592,000	69,175,000	53,005,000	67,813,000

For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, employee stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of the common stock were excluded from the diluted calculation as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. No outstanding warrants were excluded from the diluted calculation as their exercise prices were lower than the average market price of the common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, potential common shares from the assumed exercise of warrants and employee stock options were excluded from the diluted calculation as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive as the Company was in a net loss position.

The following table summarizes the outstanding potential common shares excluded from the diluted calculation (rounded to the nearest thousand):


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2006	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2006
Warrants	—	—	7,991,000	—
Employee stock options	1,291,000	512,000	3,126,000	618,000

9. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, in the normal course of its operations, the Company is a party to litigation matters and claims, including claims relating to employee relations and business practices. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. Listed below are material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party. An unfavorable outcome of any of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

On September 23, 2004, Frank Chavez, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company in California Superior Court, City and County of San Francisco. The complaint asserts claims of, among other things, false advertising, unfair and deceptive trade practices, breach of

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

contract as well as claims relating to the Company’s statements regarding DVD delivery times. The Company previously reported a tentative settlement. On March 8, 2006, the Company entered into an amended settlement which received court approval on April 28, 2006. Under the terms of the amended settlement, Netflix subscribers who were enrolled in a paid membership before January 15, 2005 and were a member on October 19, 2005 are eligible to receive a free one-month upgrade in service level and Netflix subscribers who were enrolled in a paid membership before January 15, 2005 and were not a member on October 19, 2005 are eligible to receive a free one-month Netflix membership of either the 1, 2 or 3 DVDs at-a-time unlimited program. Under the settlement agreement, the Company had also agreed to pay the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed $2,528. The registration period for the settlement closed on June 26, 2006. The Court issued final judgment on the settlement on July 28, 2006, awarding plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses of $2,127. The final judgment remains subject to appeal until September 29, 2006. The Company initially estimated the total cost of the settlement to be approximately $8,953 with the actual cost dependent upon many unknown factors such as the number of former Netflix subscribers who will claim the settlement benefit. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, in 2005, the Company estimated and recorded a charge against earnings in General and administrative expenses of $8,953 associated with the legal fees and the free one month membership to former subscribers in 2005. At the conclusion of the registration period, in the second quarter of 2006, the Company revised its estimate of the total cost of settlement to be $7,442. The charge for the free one month upgrade to the next level program for existing subscribers will be recorded when the subscribers utilize the upgrade. The Company also recorded an insurance receivable of $1,000, representing the portion of legal fees to be reimbursed by the Company’s insurer. The Company denies any wrongdoing.

On March 10, 2006, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory judgment of patent invalidity and non-infringement against NCR Corporation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The suit was brought in response to letters and other communications by NCR, accusing the Company of infringing certain NCR patents. The complaint sought a judgment from the court that the Company’s activities did not infringe, induce infringement or contributorily infringe any of NCR’s patents and that the NCR patents were invalid. On April 5, 2006, NCR filed its Answer and Counterclaim. The counterclaim alleged that the Company had infringed and continues to infringe one or more claims of specified NCR patents. The parties reached a settlement on June 23, 2006, in which the Company received a nonexclusive license to the NCR patents. On that same date, the Company’s and NCR’s lawsuits were dismissed.

On April 4, 2006, the Company filed a complaint for patent infringement against Blockbuster, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that Blockbuster willfully infringed two of our patents—U.S. Patent No. 7,024,381 entitled “Approach for Renting Items to Customers” and U.S. Patent No. 6,584,450 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Renting Items.” The complaint seeks a judgment that Blockbuster has willfully infringed the specified patents and seeks a preliminary and/or permanent injunction enjoining Blockbuster from any further infringement, unspecified compensatory enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs. On June 13, 2006, Blockbuster responded and filed a counterclaim alleging that Netflix had violated Section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The counterclaim also seeks a declaratory judgment that Blockbuster had not infringed Netflix’s asserted patents and that both patents were invalid. In addition to the declaratory judgment, Blockbuster is also seeking compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of the suit, pre-and post-judgment damage on all amounts awarded and general relief.

10. Intellectual Property Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into contractual arrangements under which it has agreed to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such

Netflix, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. Payment by the Company may be conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by it under these agreements. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers that will require it, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The terms of such obligations vary.

It is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. No amount has been accrued in the accompanying financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

Overview

Our Business

Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) is the world’s largest online movie rental service, providing more than five million subscribers access to over 60,000 DVD titles. The Company offers a variety of subscription plans, starting at $5.99 a month. There are no due dates, no late fees and no shipping fees. DVDs are delivered by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) from regional shipping centers located throughout the United States. Netflix can reach more than 90 percent of its subscribers with generally one business-day delivery. Netflix offers personalized movie recommendations to its members and has more than one billion movie ratings. Netflix also allows members to share and recommend movies to one another through its Friends ^SM feature. The terms and conditions by which subscribers utilize our service and a more detailed description of how our service works can be found at www.netflix.com/TermsOfUse.

Our business has grown rapidly since inception, resulting in substantially increased revenues. Our growth has been fueled by the rapid adoption of DVDs as a medium for home entertainment as well as increased awareness of online DVD rentals. We expect that our business will continue to grow as the market for online DVD rentals continues to grow, a reflection of both the convenience and value of the subscription rental model.

We continued to see strong growth and financial results in the second quarter of 2006, with revenues growing 46% from a year ago. This growth is attributed to our expanding subscriber base. We added approximately 0.3 million net new subscribers in the second quarter of 2006, growing from 4.9 million to 5.2 million subscribers at June 30, 2006.

Key Business Metrics

Management periodically reviews certain key business metrics, within the context of our articulated performance goals, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies, allocate resources and maximize the financial performance of our business. The key business metrics include the following:

•

Churn: Churn is a monthly measure defined as customer cancellations in the quarter divided by the sum of beginning subscribers and gross subscriber additions, then divided by three months. Management reviews this metric to evaluate whether we are retaining our existing subscribers in accordance with our business plans.

•

Subscriber Acquisition Cost: Subscriber acquisition cost is defined as total marketing expense divided by total gross subscriber additions. Management reviews this metric to evaluate how effective our marketing programs are in acquiring new subscribers on an economical basis in the context of estimated subscriber lifetime value.

•

Gross Margin: Management reviews gross margin to monitor variable costs and operating efficiency.

Management believes it is useful to monitor these metrics together and not individually as it does not make business decisions based upon any single metric. Please see “Results of Operations” below for further discussion on these key business metrics.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Other than the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123R Share-Based Payment, to account for stock-based compensation, there have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation

We adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards expected to vest and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. We adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 in the second quarter of 2003, and restated prior periods at that time. Because the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 and SFAS 123R were materially consistent under our equity plans, the adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and employee stock purchase plan shares. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of options granted and our results of operations could be materially impacted. In light of the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”), we re-evaluated the assumptions used to estimate the value of stock options beginning in the second quarter of 2005.

•

Expected Volatility: Our computation of expected volatility is based on a blend of historical volatility of our common stock and implied volatility of tradable forward call options to purchase shares of our common stock. Our decision to use implied volatility was based on our assessment that implied volatility of publicly traded options in our common stock is expected to be more reflective of market conditions and, therefore, can reasonably be expected to be a better indicator of expected volatility than historical volatility of our common stock.

•

Expected life: We bifurcate our option grants into two employee groupings (executive and non-executive) based on exercise behavior and consider several factors in determining the estimate of expected life for each group, including the historical option exercise behavior and the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. In the second quarter of 2006, we used an estimate of expected life of 4.5 years for one group and 3 years for the other group. Prior to the second quarter of 2006, we used an estimate of expected life of 4 years for one group and 3 years for the other group.

We grant stock options to our employees on a monthly basis. Such stock options are designated as non-qualified stock options and vest immediately. As a result of immediate vesting, stock-based compensation

expense determined under SFAS 123R is fully recognized upon the stock option grants and no estimate is required for pre-vesting option forfeitures.

If factors change and we employ different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect the fair value estimate of stock-based payments, our operating income, net income and net income per share.

See Note 6 for further information regarding the SFAS 123R disclosures.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005		June 30, 2006		Percent Change		June 30, 2005		June 30, 2006		Percent Change
	(in thousands except percentages and average monthly revenue per paying subscriber)
Revenues	$	164,027	$	239,351	45.9	%	$	316,473	$	463,477	46.5	%
Average number of paying subscribers		2,998		4,876	62.6	%		2,843		4,628	62.8	%
Average monthly revenue per paying subscriber	$	18.24	$	16.36	(10.3	)%	$	18.55	$	16.69	(10.0	)%

We currently generate all of our revenues in the United States. We derive substantially all of our revenues from monthly subscription fees and recognize subscription revenues ratably over each subscriber’s monthly subscription period. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we generated a small portion of our revenues from the sale of advertising.

The increase in our revenues in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005 was primarily attributable to substantial growth in the average number of paying subscribers as summarized in the table above, offset in part by a decline in average monthly revenue per paying subscriber. We believe the increase in the number of paying subscribers was driven primarily by increased consumer awareness of the benefits of online DVD rentals and continuing improvements in our service. The decline in the average monthly revenue per paying subscriber was a result of the increased promotion of our lower cost subscription plans. We introduced new lower priced subscription plans in the second quarter of 2005. We expect the average revenue per paying subscriber to continue to decline due to the introduction of and increased consumer awareness of our lower priced subscription plans.

Subscriber churn was 4.3 percent in the second quarter of 2006, down slightly from 4.7 percent in the second quarter of 2005. We believe the decline was primarily due to the following factors:

•

Aging subscriber base. As we grow, the ratio of new subscribers to total subscribers declines, leading to an increase in the average duration, or age, of the subscriber base. New subscribers are actually more likely to cancel their subscriptions than older subscribers, and therefore, an increase in subscriber age helps overall reductions in churn.

•

The continued popularity of our lower cost subscription plans and the price parity of our subscription plans with those offered by Blockbuster. In the first part of 2005, we saw aggressive pricing and heavy marketing spending by Blockbuster which was not matched in the current 2006 period.

•

Service improvements. We continued to make improvements in a number of key areas, including increasing the selection of titles as we expanded our DVD library and enhancing our Web site and recommendation service. We believe these improvements to our service increased subscriber satisfaction, which resulted in lower churn.

If we are unable to compete effectively against Blockbuster and our other existing competitors as well as against potential new entrants into the online movie rental subscription business, in both retaining our existing subscribers and attracting new subscribers, our churn will likely increase and our business will be adversely affected.

The following table presents our ending subscriber information:

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues:
Subscription	$	99,957	$	128,605	28.7	%	$	193,943	$	254,825	31.4	%
Fulfillment expenses		17,892		21,974	22.8	%		35,027		44,019	25.7	%

Total cost of revenues	$	117,849	$	150,579	27.8	%	$	228,970	$	298,844	30.5	%

Cost of subscription revenues consists of revenue sharing expenses, amortization of our DVD library, and postage and packaging expenses related to shipping titles to paying subscribers. Costs related to free-trial subscribers are allocated to marketing expenses. Fulfillment expenses represent those expenses incurred in operating and staffing our shipping and customer service centers, including costs attributable to receiving, inspecting and warehousing our library. Fulfillment expenses also include credit card fees.

Subscription

The increase in cost of subscription revenues in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year periods corresponds with the increase in the number of average paying subscribers offset in part by a decline in monthly movie rentals per average paying subscriber. The increase in average paying subscribers drove increases in number of DVDs mailed to paying subscribers and related postage and packaging expenses and revenue-sharing expenses. Additionally, DVD amortization increased due to increased acquisitions for our DVD library.

Our cost of subscription fluctuates based on several factors, including the level of acquisitions for our DVD library; the percentage of DVDs subject to revenue sharing agreements mailed to paying subscribers; revenue sharing costs per paid shipment and postage rates. In the first and second quarters of 2006, cost of subscription was impacted by the increase in the postage rates by 2 cents effective January 8, 2006.

Fulfillment expenses

The increase in fulfillment expenses in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily attributable to the following factors:

•

an increase in credit card fees as a result of the increase in subscriptions,

•

an increase in personnel-related costs resulting from the higher volume of activities in our customer service and shipping centers and,

•

an increase in facility-related costs resulting from expansion of certain of our shipping centers and the addition of new ones.

Gross Margin


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006			June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Gross profit	$	46,178		$	88,772		$	87,503		$	164,633
Gross margin		28.2	%		37.1	%		27.6	%		35.5	%

In the fourth quarter of 2005, in light of discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we reclassified fulfillment expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of Cost of

revenues. In prior periods we had reported fulfillment expenses as a component of Operating expenses. Accordingly, Cost of revenues, Gross profit and Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to this presentation. (See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The increase in gross margin in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year period was primarily due to a decrease in revenue share cost per paid shipment as well as an increase in revenue per paid shipment as a result of a decline in overall usage and the continued popularity of our lower-priced plans. The increase in postage rates by 2 cents effective January 8, 2006 negatively impacted gross margin for the quarter, however, this impact was offset by a decline in fulfillment costs as a result of increased operational efficiencies.

If movie rentals per average paying subscriber increases or if we see more shipments of DVDs subject to revenue share and the revenue share cost per shipment does not decline, erosion in our gross margin could occur. Additionally, in May 2006, the USPS proposed an increase in the rate of first class postage by 3 cents to $0.42. If approved, the increase would likely be effective in May 2007. The anticipated increase in postage rates may adversely affect our gross margin.

Technology and Development


	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006			Percent Change		June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006			Percent Change

As a percentage of revenues		5.3	%		5.0	%				5.4	%		5.0	%

The increase in technology and development expenses in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year period was primarily the result of an increase in personnel and facility-related costs. As a percentage of revenues, technology and development expenses decreased slightly in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year period primarily due to a greater increase in revenues than technology and development expenses.

We continuously research and test a variety of potential improvements to our internal hardware and software systems in an effort to improve our productivity and enhance our subscribers’ experience. Additionally, we are developing solutions for downloading movies to subscribers. As a result, we expect our technology and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars for the remainder of 2006.

Marketing

Subscriber acquisition cost	$	38.13		$	43.95		15.3	%	$	38.44		$	40.87		6.3	%

The increase in marketing expenses in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily attributable to an increase in marketing program costs, primarily direct mail, online advertising and television advertising to attract new subscribers.

Subscriber acquisition cost increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year period primarily due to an increase in marketing program spending consisting of primarily direct mail and online advertising, offset in part by a decrease in cost of providing free trials associated with our lower priced plans. As a percentage of revenues, marketing expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same prior-year period primarily due to a greater increase in marketing expenses than revenues.

The competitive landscape, including the increased promotion by Blockbuster of its online service and the potential entry of others into the online subscription rental business, could adversely impact our marketing expenditures as we seek to maintain and increase our market leadership. We anticipate that our marketing expense will increase in absolute dollars for the remainder of 2006 as we grow our business.

General and Administrative


	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006			Percent Change		June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006			Percent Change

As a percentage of revenues		3.8	%		2.8	%				4.1	%		3.3	%

The increase in general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel costs and professional fees to support our growing operations. This increase was offset in part by a reduction of $1.5 million in estimated settlement costs of the Chavez vs. Netflix, Inc. lawsuit (See Note 9) as well as a reduction in costs related to ongoing legal proceedings.

As a percentage of revenues, the decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a greater increase in revenues than general and administrative expenses.

We expect our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars for the remainder of 2006 in order to support our growing operations.

Interest and Other Income


	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006			Percent Change		June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006			Percent Change

Interest and other income	$	1,246		$	3,701		197.0	%	$	2,297		$	6,153		167.9	%
As a percentage of revenues		0.7	%		1.5	%				0.7	%		1.3	%

The increase in interest and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily due to higher interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents due to increased interest rates as well as higher average cash balances resulting from net proceeds of $101.1 million from the public offering of our common stock in May 2006.

Provision for Income Taxes


	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005		June 30, 2006			June 30, 2005		June 30, 2006
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Provision for income taxes	$	13	$	10,553		$	57	$	13,383
Effective tax rate		—		38.2	%		—		38.4	%

In the second quarter of 2006 we recorded an income tax expense of $10.6 million (38.2% effective tax rate), compared to tax expense of $13 thousand for the second quarter of 2005. Our tax expense is higher in 2006 because we no longer have a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, the realization of which served to minimize tax expense in prior years. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2005 we only recorded income tax expense related to currently payable alternative minimum tax liabilities. In the fourth quarter of 2005 we recorded an income tax benefit due to a reduction in our valuation allowance of $34.9 million. We continuously monitor the circumstances impacting the expected realization of our deferred tax assets. In the fourth quarter of 2005, based on our then updated forecast of future projected income and as a result of current developments in the competitive landscape, we reduced the valuation allowance after determining that substantially all deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized due to expected future income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our activities primarily through a series of private placements of convertible preferred stock, subordinated promissory notes, our public offerings and net cash generated from operating activities. As of June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $341.7 million. On May 3, 2006, we issued 3.5 million shares of common stock upon the closing of a public offering for net proceeds of $101.1 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the common stock for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

We have generated net cash from operations during each quarter since the second quarter of 2001. Many factors will impact our ability to continue to generate and grow cash from our operations including, but not limited to, the number of subscribers who sign up for our service, the growth or reduction in our subscriber base, and our ability to develop new revenue sources. In addition, we may have to, or otherwise choose to, lower our prices and increase our marketing expenses in order to grow faster or respond to competition. Although we currently anticipate that cash flows from operations, together with our available funds, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the foreseeable future, we may require or choose to obtain additional financing. Our ability to obtain financing will depend on, among other things, our development efforts, business plans, operating performance and the condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006			June 30, 2005			June 30, 2006
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	36,494		$	46,307		$	65,937		$	103,929
Net cash used in investing activities		(34,657	)		(40,800	)		(73,025	)		(86,747	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		3,313			108,430			3,599			112,264

We generated cash from operating activities in amounts greater than net income in the three months ended June 30, 2006 mainly due to non-cash charges to net income, offset in part by the impact of changes to working capital assets and liabilities. Non-cash adjustments to net income included the amortization of our DVD library, depreciation of property and equipment and stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options. The primary working capital use of cash was an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a decrease in accounts payable as a result of timing of acquisitions of titles for our DVD library.

We generated cash from operating activities in amounts greater than net income in the six months ended June 30, 2006 mainly due to non-cash charges to net income and the impact of changes in working capital assets and liabilities. The primary working capital source of cash was an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of timing of acquisitions of titles for our DVD library and marketing program spending.

SFAS 123R requires cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits to be classified as a part of cash flows from financing activities. Excess tax benefits represent tax benefits related to exercised options in excess of the associated deferred tax asset for such options. As a result of adopting FAS 123R, $2.9 million and $3.6 million of excess tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 have been classified as an operating cash outflow and a financing cash inflow.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by $6.1 million in comparison with the same prior-year period primarily due to an increase in acquisition of titles for our DVD library to support our larger subscriber base. The increase was offset in part by an increase in proceeds from the sale of previously viewed DVDs. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by $13.7 million in comparison with the same prior-year period primarily due to an increase in acquisition of titles for our DVD library to support our larger subscriber base. The increase was offset in part by lower outflows related to the acquisition of property and equipment and an increase in proceeds from the sale of previously viewed DVDs. Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $105.1 million and $108.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same prior-year periods primarily due to the proceeds of $101.1 million from the public offering of our common stock in May 2006.

Operating Leases

We have entered into various other non-cancelable operating lease agreements for our offices and our distribution centers throughout the U.S. with original lease periods expiring through 2012. We recognize rent expense on our operating leases on a straight-line basis at the commencement of the lease. Certain of these leases have free or escalating rent payment provisions. We recognize rent expense under such leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

In March 2006, we exercised our option to lease a building adjacent to our headquarters in Los Gatos, California. The building will comprise approximately 80,000 square feet of office space and have an initial term of 5 years. Under the terms of the lease agreement, we are obligated to make payments of $6 million toward the construction costs of the building in six monthly installments of $1 million each beginning October 2006. The building is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not engage in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities. Accordingly, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows are not subject to off-balance sheet risks.

Indemnification Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of such agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers.

The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated, so the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. To date, we have not incurred material costs as a result of such obligations and have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Specifically, the pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition of uncertain tax positions. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments which amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For financial market risks related to changes in interest rates, reference is made to Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2005.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Netflix have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
