NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix” or the “Company”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), but omit certain information and footnote disclosure necessary to present the statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Equinix’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 5, 2004. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

In February 2004, the Company sold $86.3 million in aggregate principal of 2.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2024 to qualified institutional buyers. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, the Heller Loan Amendment, the VLL Loan Amendment and the Senior Notes during February and March 2004. All remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. In addition, in March 2004, holders of the Company’s $10.0 million in Convertible Secured Notes issued in connection with the Crosslink Financing, converted the $10.0 million of principal into 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company refers to this transaction as the “Crosslink Conversion”. As a result of the extinguishment of debt associated with the Credit Facility, Heller Loan Amendment, VLL Loan Amendment and the Senior Notes, as well as the Crosslink Conversion, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment and conversion totaling $16.2 million (see Note 8).

As of March 31, 2004, the Company had $88.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company believes that this cash, coupled with anticipated cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s capital expenditure, working capital, debt service and corporate overhead requirements to meet the Company’s currently identified business objectives.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Equinix derives more than 90% of its revenues from recurring revenue streams, consisting primarily of (1) colocation services, such as from the licensing of cabinet space and power; (2) interconnection services, such as cross connects and Gigabit Ethernet ports and (3) managed infrastructure services, such as Equinix Direct, bandwidth and other e-business services such as mail service and managed platform solutions. The remainder of the Company’s revenues are from non-recurring revenue streams, such as from the recognized portion of deferred installation revenues, professional services, contract settlements and equipment sales. Revenues from recurring revenue streams are billed monthly and recognized ratably over the term of the contract, generally one to three years. Fees for the provision of e-business services are recognized progressively as the services are rendered in accordance with the contract terms, except where the future costs cannot be estimated reliably, in which case fees are recognized upon the completion of services. Non-recurring installation fees, although generally paid in a lump sum upon installation, are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the related contract. Professional service fees are recognized in the period in which the services were provided and represent the culmination of the earnings process. Revenue from bandwidth and equipment is recognized on a gross basis in accordance with EITF Abstract No. 99-19, “Recording Revenue as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”, primarily because the Company acts as the principal in the transaction, takes title to products and services and bears inventory and credit risk. Revenue from contract settlements is recognized on a cash basis when no remaining performance obligations exist to the extent that the revenue has not previously been recognized.

The Company generally guarantees certain service levels, such as uptime, as outlined in individual customer contracts. To the extent that these service levels are not achieved, the Company reduces revenue for any credits given to the customer as a result. The Company generally has the ability to determine such service level credits prior to the associated revenue being recognized, and historically, these credits have not been significant.

Revenue is recognized only when the service has been provided and when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. It is customary business practice to obtain a signed master sales agreement and sales order prior to recognizing revenue in an arrangement. The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. The Company generally does not request collateral from its customers. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the fee and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. In addition, Equinix also maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for those customers that the Company had expected to collect the revenues. If the financial condition of Equinix’s customers were to deteriorate or if they become insolvent, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, allowances for doubtful accounts may be required. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes current economic news and trends, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating revenue recognition and the adequacy of the Company’s reserves.

Net Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 98. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB No. 98 basic and diluted net loss per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Options, warrants and preferred stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts) (unaudited):

The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock that are not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation above because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods indicated (unaudited):

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Company is currently in a net deferred tax asset position, which has been fully reserved. The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance for the net deferred tax asset until it becomes more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realizable. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded a tax provision of $194,000, which is primarily attributable to federal alternative minimum tax. No income tax provision was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The Company expects to be in an alternative minimum tax position throughout the current taxable year. Although the Company recorded this tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2004 for book purposes, it is not a cash liability due to sufficient stock option deductions, which can be taken for tax return purposes. The Company has recorded this income tax provision within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2004, along with other taxes, such as personal and real property taxes (see Footnote 6).

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company uses the intrinsic value-based method of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans. Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s shares and the exercise price of the option.

Unearned deferred compensation resulting from employee option grants is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the individual options, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans” (“FASB Interpretation No. 28”).

Primarily as a result of employee stock options being granted at exercise prices below fair market value prior to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in August 2000, the Company recorded a deferred stock-based compensation charge on its balance sheet of $54,537,000 in 2000, which is being amortized over the four-year vesting life of these individual stock options net of the reversal of any previously recorded accelerated stock-based compensation expense due to the forfeitures of those stock options prior to vesting. In addition, in September 2003, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors awarded a stock option grant to the Company’s chief executive officer at a 15% discount to the then fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and, as a result, recorded a $1,093,000 deferred stock-based compensation charge, which is amortized over the three-year vesting period of this grant. As of March 31, 2004, there was a combined total of $661,000 of deferred stock-based compensation remaining to be amortized as a result of these option grants. The Company expects stock-based compensation expense related to these specific option grants to impact its results of operations through 2006.

The following table presents what the net loss and net loss per share would have been had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company’s fair value calculations for employee grants were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The Company’s fair value calculations for employee’s stock purchase rights under the employee stock purchase plan were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions consistent with those used for employee grants as indicated above; however, the assumption for expected life (in years) used for the employee stock purchase plan was 2 years for all periods presented.

2. Santa Clara IBX Acquisition

In December 2003, the Company closed a definitive agreement to sublease an already constructed data center in Santa Clara, California, and acquire certain related assets from Sprint Communications Company, L.P. (“Sprint”). The 160,000 square foot data center became the Company’s 14th IBX hub, expanding its global footprint to over 1.2 million square feet in eleven markets. The Company refers to this transaction as the Santa Clara IBX acquisition (the “Santa Clara IBX Acquisition”).

As a result of the Santa Clara IBX Acquisition, the Company recorded the following assets and liabilities as of December 1, 2003 (in thousands):

The sublease with Sprint, which expires in 2014, has payment terms which based on the findings of an independent valuation appraisal were at a premium to prevailing market rates for similar properties at the time of the Santa Clara IBX Acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded an unfavorable lease liability of $4,060,000, which will be amortized into rent expense over the term of this sublease. In addition, the Company recorded both a use tax and asset retirement obligation liability in connection with this property.

Pursuant to the terms of the sublease agreement with Sprint, the Company obtained title to certain fixed assets contained within this IBX hub, which had a total deemed fair value of $3,980,000. Concurrent with the negotiations with Sprint to sublease the property and take over the operations of this IBX hub, the Company also negotiated with the various customers already located within this IBX hub and entered into new contracts with the key customers. The Company also hired a number of Sprint employees that were working within this IBX hub. The customer contracts intangible asset has a useful life of five years, the term of the primary key customer contract, and the workforce intangible asset has a useful life of one year.

3. Related Party Transactions

8. Debt Facilities

Convertible Subordinated Debentures

In February 2004, the Company issued $86,250,000 principal amount of 2.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due February 15, 2024 (the “Convertible Subordinated Debentures”). Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning August 15, 2004.

The Convertible Subordinated Debentures are governed by the Indenture dated February 11, 2004, between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of senior debt or other indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company. The Convertible Subordinated Debentures are unsecured and rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s existing or future senior debt.

The Convertible Subordinated Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. Each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Debentures are convertible into 25.3165 shares of the Company’s common stock. This represents an initial conversion price of approximately $39.50 per share of common stock. As of March 31, 2004, the Convertible Subordinated Debentures were convertible into 2,183,548 shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures may convert their individual debentures into shares of the Company’s common stock only under any of the following circumstances:

The conversion rates may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events including for any cash dividend, but they will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. Holders of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a debenture. Instead, interest will be deemed cancelled, extinguished and forfeited upon conversion. Convertible Subordinated Debentures called for redemption may be surrendered for conversion prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date.

The Company may redeem all or a portion of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures at any time after February 15, 2009 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of redemption.

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Holders of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures on February 15, 2009, February 15, 2014 and February 15, 2019, each of which is referred to as a purchase date. In addition, upon a fundamental change of the Company, as defined in the Indenture, each holder of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures may require us to repurchase some or all of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company has considered the guidance in EITF Abstract No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, and has determined that the Convertible Subordinated Debentures do not contain a beneficial conversion feature as the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, was less than the stock conversion ratio outlined in the agreement. The Convertible Subordinated Debentures contain two embedded derivatives, a bond parity clause and a contingent interest provision. The embedded derivatives had a zero fair value as of March 31, 2004. The Company will be remeasuring the embedded derivatives each reporting period, as applicable. Changes in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations.

The costs related to the Convertible Subordinated Debentures were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method, over the life of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Debt issuance costs related to the Convertible Subordinated Debentures, net of amortization, were $3,200,000 as of March 31, 2004.

Credit Facility

9. Stockholders’ Equity

On January 1, 2004, pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s stock plans, the number of common shares in reserve automatically increased by 905,066 shares for the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, 301,689 shares for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 50,000 shares for the 2000 Director Stock Option Plan.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted options to certain employees, including all officers of the Company, to purchase 1,262,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $28.95 per share under the Company’s stock plans.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, putative shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and several investment banks that were underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering. The cases were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, purportedly on behalf of investors who purchased the Company’s stock between August 10, 2000 and December 6, 2000. The suits allege that the underwriter defendants agreed to allocate stock in the Company’s initial public offering to certain investors in exchange for excessive and undisclosed commissions and agreements by those investors to make additional purchases in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. The plaintiffs allege that the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering was false and misleading and in violation of the securities laws because it did not disclose these arrangements. It is possible that additional similar complaints may also be filed. In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of the Equinix Board of Directors agreed to participate in a settlement with the plaintiffs that is anticipated to include most of the approximately 300 defendants in similar actions. This settlement agreement is subject to court approval and sufficient participation by all defendants in similar actions. Such settlement includes without limitation a guarantee of payments to the plaintiffs in the lawsuits, assignment of certain claims against the underwriters in the Company’s IPO to the plaintiffs, and a dismissal of all claims against Equinix and related individuals. Other than legal fees incurred to date, the Company expects that all expenses of settlement, if any, will be paid by the Company’s insurance carriers. Until such settlement is finalized, the Company and its officers and directors intend to continue to defend the actions vigorously. The Company believes it has adequate legal defenses and believes that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of such litigation. Furthermore, no range of loss can be estimated at this time.

The Company estimates exposure on certain liabilities, such as property taxes, based on the best information available at the time of determination. With respect to real and personal property taxes, the Company records what it can reasonably estimate based on prior payment history, current landlord estimates or estimates based on current or changing fixed asset values in each specific municipality, as applicable. However, there are circumstances beyond the Company’s control whereby the underlying value of the property or basis for which the tax is calculated on the property may change, such as a landlord selling the underlying property of one of the Company’s IBX hub leases or a municipality changing the assessment value in a jurisdiction and, as a result, the Company’s property tax obligations may vary from period to period. Based upon the most current facts and circumstances, the Company makes the necessary property tax accruals for each of its reporting periods. However, revisions in the Company’s estimates of the potential or actual liability could materially impact the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, there are no pending claims of which the outcome is expected to result in a material adverse effect in the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivables as of March 31, 2004 and 2003.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB released a revised version of FIN 46 clarifying certain aspects of FIN 46 and providing certain entities with exemptions from the requirements of FIN 46. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The new guidance amends SFAS No. 133 for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group (“DIG”) process that effectively required amendments to SFAS No. 133, and decisions made in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments and in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative and characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. In addition, it clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 149 during the third quarter of 2003. The adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, ”Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. In November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FASB 150-3 which deferred the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 150 indefinitely for certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests that were issued before November 5, 2003. The FASB plans to reconsider implementation issues and, perhaps, classification or measurement guidance for those non-controlling interests during the deferral period. In 2003, the Company applied certain disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 150. To date, the impact of the effective provisions of SFAS No. 150 have not had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. While the effective date of certain elements of SFAS No. 150 have been deferred, the adoption of SFAS No. 150 when finalized is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2003, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), which codifies, revises and rescinds certain sections of SAB No. 101, “Revenue Recognition,” in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. The changes noted in SAB 104 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In March 2004, the FASB approved EITF Issue 03-6 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FAS 128”. EITF Issue 03-6 supersedes the guidance in Topic No. D-95, “Effect of Participating Convertible Securities on the Computation of Basic Earnings per Share”, and requires the use of the two-class method of participating securities. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. In addition, EITF Issue 03-6 addresses other forms of participating securities, including options, warrants, forwards and other contracts to issue an entity’s common stock, with the exception of stock-based compensation (unvested options and restricted stock) subject to the provisions of Opinion No. 25 and FASB No. 123. EITF Issue 03-6 is effective for reporting periods beginning after March 31, 2004 and should be applied by restating previously reported earnings per share. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of EITF Issue 03-6 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

14. Subsequent Events

In April 2004, the Company announced that it had entered into a long-term operating lease to expand its IBX footprint with the addition of a new 95,000 square foot data center in the Washington, D.C. metro area. The center is adjacent to the Company’s existing Washington D.C. metro area IBX. The addition of the center expands the global Equinix footprint to over 1.3 million square feet. Equinix currently intends to begin placing customers in the center beginning November 1, 2004. This new operating lease will add an additional $65.0 million in rent expense through 2019. The Company’s minimum future operating lease payments for each of the next five fiscal years, including this new Washington, D.C. metro area operating lease, are summarized as follows (in thousands):

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Other Factors Affecting Operating Results” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. All forward-looking statements in this document are based on information available to us as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Overview

Equinix provides network neutral colocation, interconnection and managed services to enterprises, content companies and systems integrators and the world’s largest networks. Through our 14 IBX hubs in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific, customers can directly interconnect with each other for critical traffic exchange requirements. As of March 31, 2004, we had IBX hubs totaling an aggregate of more than 1.2 million gross square feet in the Washington, D.C., New York, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Honolulu and Silicon Valley areas in the United States and Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo in the Asia-Pacific region.

In our IBX hubs, customers can directly interconnect with each other for critical traffic exchange requirements. Direct interconnection to our aggregation of networks, which serve more than 90% of the world’s Internet routes, allows our customers to increase performance while significantly reducing costs. Based on our network neutral model and the quality of our IBX hubs, we believe we have established a critical mass of customers, comprised of networks, content providers and other enterprise companies. As more customers locate in our IBX hubs, it benefits their suppliers and business partners to do so as well to gain the full economic and performance benefits of direct interconnection. These partners, in turn, pull in their business partners, creating a “network effect” of customer adoption. Our interconnection services enable scalable, reliable and cost-effective interconnection and traffic exchange thus lowering overall cost and increasing flexibility.

This critical mass of customers and the resulting network effect, combined with our improved financial position gained through the completion of a series of financing transactions has resulted in an acceleration of new customer growth and related revenue bookings. Both our existing and new customers continue to gain confidence in our financial stability, which helps make their decision to move their core infrastructure into our IBX hubs easier. While we had generated negative operating cashflow in each annual period since inception, commencing the quarter ended September 30, 2003 we started to generate positive operating cash flow. During this quarter, our recurring revenues grew to a level sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements related to our predominantly fixed cost structure. We considered this quarter to be the inflection point in our business model whereby our revenues were sufficient on an ongoing basis to meet all our operating costs and working capital requirements. Given a large component of our cost of revenues are fixed in nature, we anticipate any growth in revenues from our existing IBX hubs will have a significant incremental flow through to gross profit. As a result of reaching this point in our operating history, we expect to generate cash from our operations during 2004 and expect these operating cash flows to also be sufficient to meet our cash requirements to fund our capital expenditures.

Historically, our market has been served by large telecommunications carriers who have bundled their telecommunication products and services with their colocation offerings. During 2003, a number of these telecommunication carriers reduced their colocation footprint as they exited under-performing markets. In addition, one major telecommunications company, Sprint, announced their plans to exit the colocation and hosting market altogether to focus on their core service offerings, while another telecommunications

23

company, Cable & Wireless Plc, sold their U.S. assets to another telecommunications company, Savvis Communications Corp, in a bankruptcy auction. Each of these colocation providers owns and operates a network. We do not operate a network, yet have greater than 190 networks operating out of our IBX hubs. As a result, we are able to offer our customers a substantial choice of networks given our network neutrality allowing our customers to choose from numerous network service providers thereby eliminating a single point of failure. We believe this is a distinct advantage we have over our telecommunications company competitors, especially when the telecommunications industry is experiencing so many business challenges and changes as evidenced by the numerous bankruptcies and consolidations within this industry during the past several years. Furthermore, for those customers who do require a fully managed solution that these telecommunications companies typically provide, certain of our other customers, such as IBM and EDS, can provide such a solution within our network rich IBX hubs.

Strategically, we will continue to look at attractive opportunities to grow our market share and selectively improve our footprint and service streams, such as our recent acquisition of the Sprint property in Santa Clara and our recent expansion in the Washington, D.C. metro area (refer to “Recent Developments” below). However, we will continue to be very selective with any similar opportunity. As was the case with these two recent expansions in the Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C. area markets, the criteria will be quality of the design, access to networks, capacity availability in current market location, amount of incremental investment required by us in the targeted property, lead-time to breakeven and in-place customers. Like our two recent expansions, the right combination of these factors may be quite attractive for us. Dependent on the particular deal, these acquisitions may require additional capital expenditures in order to bring these centers up to Equinix standards.

Recent Developments

On February 11, 2004, we sold $75.0 million in aggregate principal of 2.5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2024 to qualified institutional buyers. Subsequently, on February 18, 2004, we sold an additional $11.25 million of our debentures to the initial purchasers of these debentures. We refer to this transaction as the “convertible debenture offering”. We used the net proceeds from the convertible debenture offering to repay all amounts outstanding under our credit facility and two of our other debt facilities. In addition, we used the proceeds received to redeem our 13% senior notes, which had a total of $30.5 million of principal outstanding. The effective date of the redemption was March 12, 2004. The redemption price for the senior notes was equal to 106.5% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Lastly, all remaining proceeds from the convertible debenture offering will be used for general corporate purposes.

On March 26, 2004, holders of our 10% $10.0 million convertible secured notes issued in connection with the Crosslink financing, converted the $10.0 million of principal into 2.5 million shares of our common stock. We refer to this transaction as the “Crosslink conversion”.

We recorded a significant loss on debt extinguishment and conversion totaling $16.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, primarily related to the non-cash write-off of debt issuance costs and discounts in connection with the various debt repayments, redemptions and conversions of the underlying debt facilities extinguished or converted, as well as the cash premium that we paid on our 13% senior notes.

On April 22, 2004, we announced that we had entered into a long-term operating lease to expand our IBX footprint with the addition of a new 95,000 square foot data center in the Washington, D.C. metro area. The center is adjacent to our existing Washington D.C. metro area IBX. The addition of the center expands our global footprint to over 1.3 million square feet. We currently intend to begin placing customers in this center beginning November 1, 2004, concurrent with when we begin making rent payments on this property.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Equinix’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,

24

sales and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for Equinix include revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for income taxes, estimated and contingent liabilities, accounting for property and equipment and impairment of long-lived assets, which are discussed in more detail under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
