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 fairly state the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 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 10, 2005. 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.

As of March 31, 2005, the Company had $118.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-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 within the Company’s currently identified business objectives.

Reclassifications

Certain auction rate securities have been reclassified from cash equivalents to short-term investments as of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004. This resulted in a reclassification from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments of $33,559,000 and $7,553,000 on the December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheets, respectively. In addition, purchases and sales of investments, included in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004, have been revised to reflect the purchase and sale of auction rate securities during this period. Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates with maturities on the face of the securities in excess of ninety days. Auction rate securities have interest rate resets through a modified Dutch auction, at pre-determined short-term intervals, usually every seven, twenty-eight or thirty-five days. They trade at par and are callable at par on any interest payment date at the option of the issuer. Interest paid during a given period is based upon the interest rate determined during the prior auction. Although these securities are issued and rated as long-term bonds, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset. The Company had historically classified these instruments as cash equivalents if the period between interest rate resets was ninety days or less, which was based on our ability to either liquidate our holdings or roll our investment over to the next reset period.

Based upon the Company’s re-evaluation of these securities, the Company has reclassified its auction rate securities, previously classified as cash equivalents, as short-term investments. The Company accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Such investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and are reported at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The short-term nature and structure, the frequency with which the interest rate resets and the ability to sell auction rate securities at par and at the Company’s discretion indicates that such securities should more appropriately be classified as short-term investments with the intent of meeting the Company’s short-term working capital requirements.

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 managed 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 other managed 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 longer of the term of the related contract or expected customer relationship. Professional service fees are recognized in the period in which the services were provided and represent the culmination of the earnings process as long as they meet the criteria for separate recognition under EITF Abstract No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” 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. To the extent the Company does not meet the criteria for gross basis accounting for bandwidth and equipment revenue, the Company records the revenue on a net basis. 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 occasionally 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 although in certain cases the Company obtains a security interest in a customer’s equipment placed in its IBX centers or obtains a deposit. 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 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. A specific bad debt reserve of up to the full amount of a particular invoice value is provided for certain problematic customer balances. A general reserve is established for all other accounts based on the age of the invoices. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

Net Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share;” SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 98; EITF Issue 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB 128”, which the Company adopted during the second quarter of 2004 and EITF Issue 04-8 “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share”, which the Company adopted during the fourth quarter of 2004. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, SAB No. 98 and EITF Issues 03-6 and 04-8, basic and diluted net loss per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Options, warrants and contingently convertible instruments were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share. Under EITF Issue 03-6, the Company’s preferred stock qualifies as a participating security, but was not included in the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share calculations as the holder of preferred stock does not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. In addition, under EITF 04-8, the Company’s Convertible Subordinated Debentures qualify as contingently convertible instruments; however, they were not included in the Company’s diluted net loss per share calculations because to do so would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

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. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year 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 deferred tax assets to the amounts that are expected more likely than not to be realized in the future. The assessment of whether or not a valuation allowance is required often requires significant judgment including the forecast of future taxable income and the evaluation of tax planning strategies in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company also accounts for any income tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”

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, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded a tax provision of $505,000 and $194,000, respectively, which is attributable primarily to federal alternative minimum tax. The Company expects the alternative minimum tax situation to continue throughout the current taxable year based on its financial outlook for the year. Although the Company recorded a tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 for book purposes, it does not expect a material 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, 2005, along with other taxes, such as personal and real property taxes (see Note 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 and restricted shares 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 was 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. The amortization of the deferred stock-based compensation related to these pre-IPO stock options ended in August 2004. 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, 2005, there was a total of $184,000 of deferred stock-based compensation remaining to be amortized for this grant to the Company’s chief executive officer. The Company expects stock-based compensation expense related to this specific option grant to impact its results of operations through 2006.

In February 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 320,500 shares of restricted shares of common stock to executive officers pursuant to the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. The restricted shares are subject to four-year vesting, and will only vest if the stock appreciates to certain pre-determined levels. These restricted shares are a compensatory plan under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and are accounted for as variable awards. As a result, compensation cost will be adjusted for changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock until the restricted shares become vested. On the date of grant of the restricted shares in February 2005, the Company recorded a $14,387,000 deferred stock-based compensation charge. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized reductions in deferred stock-based compensation of $817,000 as a result of a declining stock price and recorded $2,305,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted shares. As of March 31, 2005, there was a total of $11,265,000 of deferred stock-based compensation remaining to be amortized related to these restricted shares. The Company expects stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted shares to impact its results of operations through 2008.

The following table presents, by operating expense, the Company’s amortization of stock-based compensation expense (in thousands):

The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – An Amendment of SFAS No. 123”.

2. San Jose IBX Acquisition

In December 2004, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Abovenet Communications, Inc. (“Abovenet”), including 1) a long-term lease through May 2020 for a 103,000 square foot data center in the Silicon Valley area, 2) an asset purchase agreement to purchase the assets located within this facility, primarily IBX plant and machinery, and 3) an agreement to interconnect all three of its IBX centers in the Silicon Valley through redundant dark fiber links through May 2020, which the Company will manage to allow customers in each center to leverage the benefits of directly interconnecting with other customers in the other centers (collectively, the “San Jose IBX Acquistion”). Payments due to Abovenet for the San Jose IBX Acquisition total $38,379,000, of which $4,224,000 was paid in several upfront lump-sum payments and the remaining $34,155,000 will be paid in monthly installments, which commenced in February 2005, through May 2020.

The Company has accounted for the San Jose IBX Acquisition as a single accounting arrangement with multiple elements. As a result, the Company assessed the fair value of each of the individual elements and then assigned the relative fair value to each individual element. The Company determined that the building component of the San Jose IBX Acquisition is a long-term operating lease (the “San Jose IBX Acquisition Building Operating Lease”) and the equipment and fiber portions of the transaction are financed assets (the “San Jose IBX Acquisition Equipment & Fiber Debt Facility”). The Company took possession of this property during the first quarter of 2005, and as a result, recorded property and equipment and prepaid fiber assets, as well as debt, totaling $18,713,000. Payments under the San Jose IBX Acquisition Equipment & Fiber Debt Facility will be made monthly through May 2020 at an effective interest rate of 8.50% per annum. As of March 31, 2005, principal of $15,650,000 remained outstanding under the San Jose IBX Acquisition Equipment & Fiber Debt Facility. Payments under the San Jose IBX Acquisition Building Operating Lease will also be made monthly through May 2020 and total $7,381,000 in cumulative lease payments.

3. Related Party Transactions

A significant amount of the Company’s Asia-Pacific revenues are generated in Singapore and a significant portion of the business in Singapore is transacted with entities affiliated with STT Communications, which is the Company’s single largest stockholder. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, revenues recognized with related parties, primarily entities affiliated with STT Communications, were $1,573,000 and as of March 31, 2005, accounts receivable with these related parties was $1,270,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, costs and services procured with related parties, primarily entities affiliated with STT Communications, were $794,000 and as of March 31, 2005, accounts payable with these related parties was $326,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, revenues recognized with related parties, primarily entities affiliated with STT Communications, were $1,222,000 and as of March 31, 2004, accounts receivable with these related parties was $992,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, costs and services procured with related parties, primarily entities affiliated with STT Communications, were $466,000 and as of March 31, 2004, accounts payable with these related parties was $347,000.

A significant portion of customer deposits as of December 31, 2004, represented a customer’s deposit towards an installation project at one of the Company’s IBX centers. In January 2005, upon completion of this installation project, this deposit was reclassified to deferred installation revenue (split between both current and non-current portions) and is now being amortized into revenue over the expected life of the customer relationship.

8. Deferred Rent and Other Liabilities

Deferred rent and other liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

The Company currently leases all but one of its IBX centers and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements expiring through 2020. The centers’ lease agreements typically provide for base rental rates that increase at defined intervals during the term of the lease. In addition, the Company has negotiated rent expense abatement periods to better match the phased build-out of its centers. The Company accounts for such abatements and increasing base rentals using the straight-line method over the life of the lease. The difference between the straight-line expense and the cash payment is recorded as deferred rent.

9. Debt Facilities

Convertible Secured Notes

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, Equinix converted an aggregate of $38,035,000 of STT Convertible Secured Notes and associated interest into 4,144,216 shares of the Company’s Series A-1 preferred stock (the “95% STT Convertible Secured Notes Conversion”). The converted amount represented 95% of the outstanding STT Convertible Secured Notes plus interest due through February 14, 2005. A total of $1,923,000 of STT Convertible Secured Notes remain outstanding (the “Remaining STT Convertible Secured Notes”) and will continue to be governed by the terms of the Financing. The Remaining STT Convertible Secured Notes will be eligible for conversion by Equinix in early 2006 provided certain conditions are met, including if the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $32.12 per share for 30 consecutive trading days. On February 1, 2005, STT elected to convert its Series A-1 preferred stock into 4,144,216 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series A-1 preferred stock converted into common stock on a 1 to 1 basis. As a result of the 95% STT Convertible Secured Notes Conversion, 95% of the outstanding Convertible Secured Notes and PIK Notes, plus interest through February 14, 2005 and unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, was converted into stockholders’ equity in accordance with APB Opinion No. 26, “Early Extinguishment of Debt” and SFAS No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 26.”

As a result of the 95% STT Convertible Secured Notes Conversion, a total of $35,206,000 was credited to stockholders’ equity during the first quarter of 2005, which was comprised of $36,543,000 of Convertible Secured Note and PIK Notes principal and $1,492,000 of interest through the conversion date, offset by $2,510,000 and $319,000 of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, respectively. As of March 31, 2005, the Remaining STT Convertible Secured Notes principal of $1,923,000 is presented on the accompanying balance sheet, net of remaining unamortized debt discount, as $1,803,000.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

On January 1, 2005, pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s stock plans, the number of common shares in reserve automatically increased by 1,139,968 shares for the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, 379,989 shares for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 379,989 shares for the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 50,000 shares for the 2000 Director Stock Option Plan.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the grant of stock options to employees, excluding executive officers, to purchase an aggregate of approximately 870,200 shares of common stock, primarily as part of the Company’s annual refresh program, at an exercise price of $44.06 per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors also approved the issuance of 320,500 shares of restricted shares of common stock to executive officers pursuant to the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. The restricted shares are subject to four-year vesting, and will only vest if the stock appreciates to pre-determined levels. The Company recorded a deferred stock-based compensation charge of $14,387,000 related to these restricted shares (see Note 1).

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Actions

On July 30, 2001 and August 8, 2001, putative shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, certain of its officers and directors (the “Individual Defendants”), and several investment banks that were underwriters of the Company’s IPO. 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. In addition, similar lawsuits were filed against approximately 300 other issuers and related parties. The purported class action alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and Sections 10(b), Rule 10b-5 and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) against the Company and Individual Defendants. The plaintiffs have since dismissed the Individual Defendants without prejudice. The suits allege that the underwriter defendants agreed to allocate stock in the Company’s IPO 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 IPO was false and misleading and in violation of the securities laws because it did not disclose these arrangements. The action seeks damages in an unspecified amount. On February 19, 2003, the Court dismissed the Section 10(b) claim against the Company, but denied the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claim.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of the Equinix Board of Directors approved a settlement agreement and related agreements which set forth the terms of a settlement between the Company, the Individual Defendants, the plaintiff class and the vast majority of the other approximately 300 issuer defendants and the individual defendants currently or formerly associated with those companies. Among other provisions, the settlement provides for a release of the Company and the Individual Defendants and the Company’s agreeing to assign away, not assert, or release certain potential claims the Company may have against its underwriters. The settlement agreement also provides a guaranteed recovery of $1 billion to plaintiffs for the cases relating to all of the approximately 300 issuers. To the extent that the underwriter defendants settle all of the cases for at least $1 billion, no payment will be required under the issuers’ settlement agreement. To the extent that the underwriter defendants settle for less than $1 billion, the issuers are required to make up the difference. It is anticipated that any potential financial obligation of Equinix to plaintiffs pursuant to the settlement, of which such claims are currently expected to be less than $3.4 million, will be covered by existing insurance and we do not expect that the settlement will involve any payment by the Company. The Company has no information as to whether there are any material limitations on the expected recovery by other issuer defendants of any potential financial obligation to plaintiffs from their own insurance carriers. The settlement agreement has been submitted to the Court for approval. The underwriter defendants have filed objections to the settlement agreement. As approval by the Court cannot be assured, the Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On October 13, 2004, the Court certified a Section 11 class in four of the six cases that were the subject of class certification motions and determined that the class period for Section 11 claims is the period between the IPO and the date that unregistered shares entered the market. The Court noted that its decision on those cases is intended to provide strong guidance to all parties regarding class certification in the remaining cases. Plaintiffs have not yet moved to certify a class in the Equinix case. Until the settlement is finalized and approved by the Court, or in the event such settlement is not approved, the Company and its officers and directors intend to continue to defend the actions vigorously. While an unfavorable outcome to this case is reasonably possible, it is not probable. As a result, the Company has not accrued for any settlements in connection with this litigation as of March 31, 2005.

Estimated and Contingent Liabilities

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 center 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.

14. Restructuring Charges

In December 2004, in light of the availability of fully built-out data centers in select markets at costs significantly below those costs the Company would incur in building out new space, the Company made the decision to exit leases for excess space adjacent to one of the Company’s New York metro area IBXs, as well as space on the floor above its original Los Angeles IBX. As a result of the Company’s decision to exit these spaces, the Company recorded a restructuring charge totaling $17,685,000, which represents the present value of the Company’s estimated future cash payments, net of any estimated subrental income and expense, through the remainder of these lease terms, as well as the write-off of all remaining property and equipment attributed to the partial build-out of the excess space on the floor above its Los Angeles IBX as outlined below.

The Company accounted for this restructuring charge under SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” Under the provisions of SFAS No. 146, the Company estimated the future cash payments required to exit these two leased spaces, net of any estimated subrental income and expense, through the remainder of these lease terms and then calculated the present value of such future cash flows in order to determine the appropriate restructuring charge to record. In future periods, the Company will record accretion expense to accrete its accrued restructuring liability up to an amount equal to the total estimated future cash payments necessary to complete the exit of these leases. Such accretion expense is classified under cost of revenues on the accompanying statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Should the actual lease exit costs differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company may need to adjust its restructuring charges associated with the excess lease spaces, which would impact net income in the period such determination was made.

A summary of the movement in the 2004 accrued restructuring charge from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005 is outlined as follows (in thousands):
