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.

In prior periods, 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, on our Consolidated Statements of Income. In 2005, in light of discussions with the SEC and consistent with the guidance in SFAS 95 and SFAS 144, we 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 in the Consolidated Statements of Income for 2003 and 2004 were reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation (see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

The decrease in gain on disposal of DVDs in absolute dollars in 2005 as compared to 2004 was primarily attributable to an increase in the cost of DVD sales.
