NETFLIX, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
The weighted average exercise price of excluded outstanding stock options was $27.83, $29.84 and $28.39
for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), using the modified prospective method. The Company had
previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS No. 123”),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 No. 123 and SFAS No. 123(R) were generally
consistent, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141-R, Business
Combinations (SFAS No. 141-R), to replace SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141-R requires
the use of the acquisition method of accounting, defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date and
broadens the scope to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other
businesses. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. 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 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The statement requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the
fair value option has been elected to be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 also amends certain provisions of
SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a
framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased
consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit,
or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 was effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged,
provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any
financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. In December 2007, the FASB issued proposed
FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-b (FSP No. 157-b), which would delay the effective date of SFAS No. 157
for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value
in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP No. 157-b partially defers the effective date of SFAS
No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years for items
within the scope of FSP No. 157-b. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a
material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
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
