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. We record refunds to subscribers as a reduction of revenues.

Three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008

The increase in our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same prior-year period was primarily a result of the substantial growth in the average number of paying subscribers. This increase was partly offset by a decline in the average monthly revenue per paying subscriber, resulting from the growing popularity of our lower priced subscription plans.

The increase in our revenues in 2008 as compared to 2007, and 2007 as compared to 2006, was primarily a result of the substantial growth in the average number of paying subscribers arising from increased consumer awareness of the benefits of online movie and TV episode rentals and other aspects of our service. This increase was offset in part by a decline in average monthly revenue per paying subscriber, resulting from the continued growth in our lower cost subscription plans, as well as a price reduction for our most popular subscription plans during the third quarter of 2007. We expect the average revenue per paying subscriber to continue to decline until the mix of new subscribers and existing subscribers is approximately equivalent by subscription plan price point.
