NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
Blockbuster Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Blockbuster”) primarily operate and franchise entertainment-related stores in the United States and a number of other countries. The Company offers pre-recorded videos, as well as video games, for in-store rental, sale and trade and also sells other entertainment-related merchandise. Blockbuster also operates an online service offering rental and sale of movies delivered by mail.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all recurring adjustments and normal accruals necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and its results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder of the current year or for any future period. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements are consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, except where discussed below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Blockbuster’s consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the useful lives and residual values surrounding the Company’s rental library, estimated accruals related to revenue-sharing titles subject to performance guarantees, merchandise inventory reserves, revenues generated by customer programs and incentives, useful lives of property and equipment, income taxes, impairment of its long-lived assets, including goodwill, share-based compensation and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Fiscal Year
The Company changed its fiscal year from a calendar year ending on December 31 to a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the first Sunday following December 30. The change in Blockbuster’s fiscal year took effect on January 1, 2007, therefore there was no transition period in connection with this change of fiscal year-end. As a result, the second quarter of 2007 includes the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2007 and the second quarter of 2006 includes the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Severance Charges
During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007, the Company incurred severance costs of $7.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively. These amounts include approximately $6.3 million incurred during
6
BLOCKBUSTER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)
(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
the second quarter of 2007 associated with the termination of the amended and restated employment agreement of the former Chief Executive Officer as discussed below. Additionally, the Company incurred severance costs of $9.5 million as a result of involuntary employee terminations initiated as part of the Company’s focus on operating expense management for three months ended March 31, 2006. These termination benefits have been included in “General and administrative” expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of July 1, 2007, the remaining liability to be paid in the future related to these and other termination benefits was approximately $9.5 million. There have been no significant adjustments to previously accrued severance costs during 2007.
Store Closures
In accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, the Company establishes reserves for store closures in the period that a store is closed. Reserves for store closures are established by calculating the present value of the remaining lease obligation, adjusted for estimated subtenant rental income and any contractual lease buyouts. Expenses associated with the establishment of these reserves are reflected in “General and administrative” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The future lease obligation is inclusive of the net future minimum lease payments plus estimated common area maintenance charges, less any remaining accrual for straight-line average rent. When a store is identified for closure, the depreciation of store assets is accelerated over the estimated remaining life of the store.
During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007, the Company incurred approximately $6.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively, in operating expenses related to store closures. This includes $4.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively, in charges to establish reserves for or to pay lease termination costs associated with the closure of company-operated store locations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred approximately $6.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively, in operating expenses related to store closures. This includes $5.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in charges to establish reserves for or to pay lease termination costs associated with the closure of company-operated store locations. The remaining operating expenses incurred during the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007 and three and six months ended June 30, 2006 reflect accelerated depreciation of store assets during the period. As of July 1, 2007, the remaining liability to be paid in the future related to these reserves was $4.3 million. The Company made payments of approximately $7.3 million in rent and lease termination costs for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007. There have been no significant adjustments to previously accrued store closure costs during 2007.
Revenue Recognition
During the first quarter of 2005, Blockbuster implemented the “no late fees” program, which means Blockbuster no longer charges extended viewing fees on any movie or game rentals at substantially all of its company-operated BLOCKBUSTER® stores in the United States and Canada. Under this program, rental transactions continue to have two-day or weekly rental periods, depending on the specific title, with all transactions having an additional one-week goodwill period from the due date. If the product has not been returned by the end of the goodwill period, it is purchased by the customer under the terms of the Company’s standard membership agreement. Prior to the second quarter of 2007, revenues generated from sales to customers for product that had not been returned by the end of the original rental and goodwill periods were recognized after expiration of the 30-day return period. Beginning in the second quarter of 2007, Blockbuster began recognizing revenues generated from sales to customers for product that had not been returned by the end of the goodwill period based on historical customer return history in accordance with SFAS 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists (“SFAS 48”). Since the implementation of the “no late fees” program, Blockbuster

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
has accumulated two years of data allowing the Company to make a reasonable estimate of sales that will ultimately be returned. As a result, Blockbuster recorded incremental rental revenues of $6.7 million and cost of rental revenues of $3.3 million during the second quarter of 2007.
Sale of Store Real Estate
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company sold the land and building associated with one company-owned property to an independent third party. The net proceeds from the sale were $7.8 million. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on sale of $6.4 million, which is reflected as a reduction of “General and administrative” expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with CEO
As previously disclosed in Blockbuster’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007, Blockbuster and its former Chief Executive Officer were in discussions in an attempt to resolve a disagreement concerning the Board of Directors’ 2006 bonus award to the Chief Executive Officer. On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors exercised negative discretion and awarded a 2006 bonus to the Chief Executive Officer of $2.28 million, which would be in addition to his 2006 salary and deferred compensation of approximately $2.5 million. This bonus award was subject to the condition that the Board would award him no 2006 bonus if the Chief Executive Officer contested the award. The Chief Executive Officer maintained that he would be entitled to a 2006 bonus of $7.65 million based on the application of the 2006 senior bonus plan performance goals. Blockbuster had accrued $4.5 million at December 31, 2006 for this contingency based on the guidance outlined in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. On March 20, 2007, Blockbuster announced that the Company and its Chief Executive Officer entered into a settlement agreement and an amended and restated employment agreement that collectively resolved the disagreement and set forth the terms of the Chief Executive Officer’s continued employment with Blockbuster. Under the amended and restated employment agreement, the Chief Executive Officer received a 2006 bonus of approximately $3.1 million. As a result, the Company reversed approximately $1.4 million of bonus expense which was accrued at December 31, 2006 during the first quarter of 2007.
On July 2, 2007, the Company announced the appointment of James W. Keyes as the Company’s new Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer as discussed in Note 8 below. As a result of the appointment of the new Chief Executive Officer, the amended and restated employment agreement with the former Chief Executive Officer was terminated and the Company recorded approximately $6.3 million in costs during the second quarter of 2007 in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.4 million in share-based compensation expense relating to the immediate vesting of the former Chief Executive Officer’s previously unvested restricted share units and stock options as further discussed in Note 3 below.
Franchisee Termination Agreement
During the first quarter of 2007, Blockbuster’s franchisee in Brazil sold its store base to Lojas Americanas. As part of this transaction, Blockbuster entered into a termination agreement with the existing franchisee and subsequently entered into a license agreement with Lojas Americanas. The termination agreement resulted in Blockbuster receiving a termination fee of approximately $20 million, which has been included in “Other revenues” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2007, Blockbuster received $5 million related to the license agreement with Lojas Americanas which is included in “Other revenues” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS adjusts the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding by the assumed exercise of Blockbuster stock options, vesting of restricted shares and restricted share units and shares issuable under the conversion feature of Blockbuster’s 7.5% Series A cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock (the “Series A convertible preferred stock”) using the if-converted method only in periods in which such effect would have been dilutive on income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. Options to purchase 8.4 million and 7.0 million shares of Class A common stock were outstanding as of July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Additionally, 4.1 million and 4.3 million restricted shares and restricted share units that are settleable in shares of Class A common stock were outstanding as of July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, all stock options, all restricted shares and restricted share units and all shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007 and all stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were excluded from the computation of the weighted-average shares for diluted EPS.
The table below presents a reconciliation of weighted-average shares, in millions, used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It consists of net income (loss) and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, are excluded from net income (loss), such as foreign currency translation gains and losses. Currency translation is the only item of comprehensive income (loss) impacting the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss of $30.7 million and $17.5 million as of July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Comprehensive income (loss) for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007 and three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was as follows:

Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided based on the liability method of accounting. Deferred taxes are recorded to reflect the tax benefit and consequences of future years’ differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting basis. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. Upon adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, the Company reduced the total liability relating to its uncertain tax positions by approximately $1.1 million, which is reflected as a decrease to accumulated deficit.
As of July 1, 2007 the liability for uncertain tax positions is approximately $4.4 million and is reflected as $2.5 million in “Accrued expenses” and $1.9 million in “Other liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. If recognized, both amounts would result in a positive effect on the Company’s effective tax rate.
On July 9, 2007, the Company reached an agreement with the State of New Mexico and settled an audit assessment for the tax years 1995 through 1998. The total assessment was $0.8 million and consisted of $0.3 million of tax and $0.5 million of interest. The $0.8 million is included in the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions in “Accrued expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and thus will not have an effect on the Company’s effective tax rate.

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
the Company had recorded liabilities of approximately $2.2 million associated with accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007, the Company recognized a tax provision of $3.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $105.2 million and $111.9 million, respectively, resulting from the resolution of multi-year income tax audits. The $105.2 million benefit is reflected as a $91.2 million tax benefit in “Benefit (provision) for income taxes” and a $14.0 million tax benefit within “Income (loss) from discontinued operations” for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The $111.9 million benefit is reflected as a $97.9 million tax benefit in “Benefit (provision) for income taxes” and a $14.0 million tax benefit within “Income (loss) from discontinued operations” for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company recognized $2.7 million of “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 associated with this benefit. The total benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2006 consisted of a cash refund of approximately $21 million and a reduction of accrued liabilities of approximately $94 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 143-1, Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations (“FSP 143-1”), which provides guidance on the accounting for obligations associated with the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “WEEE Directive”), which was adopted by the European Union. FSP 143-1 provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the WEEE Directive with respect to “historical waste,” which is waste associated with products on the market on or before August 13, 2005. FSP 143-1 requires commercial users to account for their WEEE obligation as an asset retirement liability in accordance with FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. FSP 143-1 was required to be applied beginning in the later of the first reporting period ending after June 8, 2005 or the date of the adoption of the WEEE Directive into law by the applicable European Union member country. The Company will apply the guidance of FSP 143-1 as it relates to the European Union member countries in which it operates when those countries have adopted the WEEE Directive into law. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 143-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value measures in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in GAAP. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy with observable market data as the highest level and fair value based on an entity’s own fair value assumptions as the lowest level. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

As of July 1, 2007, $40.0 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility and $423.5 million was outstanding under the term loan portions of the Company’s credit facilities. The available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility, excluding the $150.0 million reserved for issuance of letters of credit provided for Viacom Inc. (“Viacom”), at Viacom’s expense (the “Viacom Letters of Credit”), and $55.4 million reserved to support other letters of credit, totaled $254.6 million at July 1, 2007. Borrowings under the credit facilities accrue interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus applicable margins. The applicable margins vary based on the borrowing and specified leverage ratios. The weighted-average interest rate at July 1, 2007 for borrowings under the credit facilities was 8.6%. As of July 1, 2007, commitment fees are charged at an annual rate of 0.375% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, and participation and fronting fees are also incurred on letters of credit.
As of July 1, 2007, $300.0 million of principal was outstanding under the Company’s senior subordinated notes. The senior subordinated notes mature on September 1, 2012. Interest accrues on the senior subordinated notes and is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year.
Under a registration rights agreement as part of the offering of the senior subordinated notes, the Company was obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the senior subordinated notes for substantially similar notes that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As of February 18, 2006, the Company began
12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
incurring additional interest expense of the maximum of 1.0% per annum because an exchange offer for the senior subordinated notes was not completed. The exchange offer was completed on May 30, 2006, which resulted in the interest rate on the senior subordinated notes reverting back to 9.0% per annum.
On April 18, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement which provided for additional sales, transfers or other dispositions of assets with a cumulative aggregate fair market value of up to $150 million, and required that the Company make prepayments on the credit facilities in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received from such additional sales, transfers or other dispositions of assets.
On July 13, 2007, the Company entered into an additional amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its amended and restated credit agreement which:
| (i) | accelerates reductions in the revolving commitments that were previously scheduled to occur on October 1, 2007 and January 1, 2008 which effectively reduces the total amount of the revolving commitments from $500 million to $450 million; |
| (ii) | modifies the applicable margins; |
| (iii) | amends the definition of Consolidated EBITDA; |
| (iv) | amends the asset sale baskets and the related mandatory prepayment requirements; |
| (v) | provides for a premium of 1.0% in the event of certain refinancings through April 6, 2008; |
| (vi) | defers the applicability of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Leverage Ratio requirements from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009; |
| (vii) | provides for a one-time fee payable by the Company to the administrative agent, for the accounts of the lenders, in an amount equal to (a) 0.25% of the aggregate amount of revolving commitments and outstanding term loans on April 6, 2008, if the Leverage Ratio on such date exceeds 3.00 to 1.00 but does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 or (b) 0.50% of the aggregate amount of revolving commitments and outstanding term loans on April 6, 2008, if the Leverage Ratio on such date exceeds 3.50 to 1.00; |
| (viii) | amends the Consolidated EBITDA requirements such that the Company may not permit Consolidated EBITDA for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be less than (a) $140 million for the periods ending July 1, 2007 and September 30, 2007, (b) $165 million for the period ending January 6, 2008, (c) $180 million for the period ending April 6, 2008, (d) $200 million for the period ending July 6, 2008, (e) $225 million for the period ending October 5, 2008, and (f) $250 million for the period ending January 4, 2009; and |
| (ix) | waives of any default resulting from the Company’s failure to comply with the Consolidated EBITDA requirement with respect to the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending July 1, 2007. |
Without the benefit of the lenders’ waiver of the Consolidated EBITDA requirement with respect to the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending July 1, 2007 that is contained in the Second Amendment, the Company would have been in default of such covenant.
In connection with the Second Amendment, the applicable margin for the Company’s borrowings under the credit facilities increased 50 basis points. The Company was also required to pay a standard amendment fee to the administrative agent and the syndicate lenders.

The Company is required to make prepayments on the credit facilities in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of annual excess cash flow, as defined by the credit agreement. Such payments are due within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year. As a result, the Company made prepayments of approximately $46 million on the term portions of the credit facilities during the first quarter of 2007 related to excess cash flow generated for the year ended December 31, 2006. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007, the Company did not generate excess cash flow, as defined by the credit agreement; as a result, the Company cannot estimate with certainty the excess cash flow that will be generated, if any, for the fiscal year ended January 6, 2008. Additionally, the Company is required to make prepayments on the credit facilities related to certain sales, transfers, assignments or other dispositions of property or assets (including equity interests in subsidiaries). Therefore, during the first quarter of 2007, the Company made prepayments of approximately $9 million related to such transactions in the first quarter of 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company made prepayments of approximately $136 million related to such transactions during the second quarter of 2007.
Note 3—Stock and Share-Based Payments
The Company recognizes expense for its share-based payments in accordance with SFAS 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). For the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2007 and three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted shares and restricted share units of $0.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized $8.7 million and $13.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted shares and restricted share units.
In February 2006, the Company made performance-based awards of restricted shares and restricted share units to a small group of senior level employees that were contingent upon the Company meeting specific performance goals. These awards vest in three equal installments on each of May 5, 2007, May 5, 2008 and May 5, 2009. The Company recognized compensation expense beginning in the second quarter 2006 relating to these awards as it was probable that the performance conditions would be achieved. As of December 31, 2006, the performance criteria were met and the awards were granted in the second quarter of 2007.
During the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007, 1.9 million stock options were granted, no stock options were exercised by employees and 0.2 million stock options were cancelled. In addition, 2.3 million restricted shares or restricted share units were granted to employees, 1.1 million restricted shares and restricted share units vested and 0.5 million restricted shares and restricted share units were cancelled during the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007. As of July 1, 2007, 8.4 million stock options and 5.0 million restricted shares and restricted share units remained outstanding.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer, John F. Antioco, entered into an amended and restated employment agreement as discussed in Note 1. As a result of the amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Antioco was entitled to the immediate vesting and payment of his restricted share units that were settleable in cash upon the conclusion of his employment with Blockbuster. As of July 1, 2007, the liability related to Mr. Antioco’s restricted share units was approximately $7.5 million, which was included in “Accrued expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the exercisability of all of his previously granted stock options that had not become exercisable on or prior to the date of the conclusion of his employment were accelerated and such stock options, together with all of his previously granted stock options that were exercisable on or prior to the date of the conclusion of his employment, will be exercisable for 30 months following July 2, 2007. Under Mr. Antioco’s previous
14
BLOCKBUSTER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
employment agreement, he was allowed 24 months to exercise his stock options if his employment agreement was not renewed. The additional life of six months that Mr. Antioco is allowed to exercise his stock options is considered a modification under SFAS 123R and resulted in additional compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million, of which, approximately $0.8 million was recorded during the first quarter of 2007 related to options that had vested and the remainder was recognized during the second quarter of 2007 upon termination of his employment agreement.
On July 2, 2007, the Company announced the appointment of James W. Keyes as the Company’s new Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of the termination of Mr. Antioco’s employment with the Company on July 2, 2007, all of his previously unvested restricted share units immediately became vested and all of his stock options that were not yet exercisable became exercisable. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $1.4 million in stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of Mr. Antioco’s unvested restricted stock units and stock options during the second quarter of 2007.
The unamortized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted shares, restricted share units and stock options issued and outstanding as of July 1, 2007 will be recognized in future periods as follows:

Note 4—Commitments and Contingencies
On June 8, 2001, C-Span Entertainment, et al v. Blockbuster Inc., et al, was filed in the 192nd Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas. Plaintiffs purchased eleven Blockbuster corporate stores in East Texas in 1999 and turned them into franchise stores. Plaintiffs claim that before consummation of the sales, they received inaccurate financial information and that Blockbuster made false verbal representations concerning inventory of the stores. On September 21, 2001, plaintiffs amended their lawsuit to include as a defendant the law firm that represented them in the store purchase. On February 2, 2004, the court granted Blockbuster’s motion for partial summary judgment and dismissed all of plaintiffs’ fraud claims. On September 28, 2004, the court granted Blockbuster’s motion to enforce plaintiffs’ waiver of a jury trial and to try the case as a non-jury case. Plaintiffs’ claims against the law firm will be adjudicated in a separate trial. On the eve of trial, the court allowed the plaintiffs to amend their pleadings and assert fraud in the inducement, along with plaintiffs’ pending claims for breach of warranties, breach of contract and conversion. Plaintiffs’ amended petition sought $6 million to $20 million in actual damages, $20 million in punitive damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees. On April 5, 2006, the trial court rendered a judgment in the case awarding plaintiffs damages of $5.9 million, pre-judgment interest of approximately $2.1 million and attorney’s fees through the date of the judgment of approximately $0.5 million, for a total of approximately $8.6 million. Blockbuster continues to deny all material allegations of the complaint. On June 15, 2006, Blockbuster filed a notice stating its intention to appeal the judgment to the Fifth Court of Appeals, Dallas County, Texas. Based upon its belief that the conditions for a loss accrual described in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, have not been met, Blockbuster has made no accrual for this loss contingency.

On January 31, 2001, an antitrust complaint alleging federal and California state law claims was filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, by over 200 individual plaintiffs seeking class certification and monetary damages against Blockbuster, Viacom, and major motion picture studios and their home video subsidiaries. In January 2002, the California court denied the plaintiffs’ request for class certification. By order dated February 20, 2003, the California state court judge dismissed with prejudice all claims against Blockbuster and the other defendants. On appeal, the California appellate court affirmed dismissal of the antitrust conspiracy claims but reversed and remanded to the trial court for further consideration the state law unfair practices and unfair competition claims. The appellate court did not consider the appeal of the decision denying class certification. On May 2, 2007, the trial court granted Blockbuster’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the state law unfair practices and unfair competition claims. Plaintiffs may appeal this decision. In addition to any damage award to which Blockbuster might be directly subject, if Viacom is required to pay any damage award as a result of the federal or state court action, Viacom may seek indemnification for its losses from Blockbuster under the amended and restated release and indemnification agreement entered into between Viacom and Blockbuster in connection with Blockbuster’s divestiture from Viacom. In addition, on June 18, 2004, in connection with Blockbuster’s split-off from Viacom, Blockbuster entered into an agreement with Viacom, Paramount Entertainment, Inc. and Sumner Redstone (the “Viacom entities”) whereby Blockbuster agreed to pay 33.33% of any liability arising from the antitrust case and the Viacom entities agreed to pay 66.67% of any such liability.
Blockbuster was a defendant in 12 lawsuits filed by customers in nine states and the District of Columbia between November 1999 and April 2001. These putative class action lawsuits alleged common law and statutory claims for fraud and deceptive practices and/or unlawful business practices regarding Blockbuster’s extended viewing fee policies for customers who chose to keep rental product beyond the initial rental term. Some of the cases also alleged that these policies imposed unlawful penalties and resulted in unjust enrichment. In January 2002, the 136th Judicial District Court of Jefferson County, Texas entered a final judgment approving a national class settlement (the “Scott settlement”). Under the approved settlement, Blockbuster paid $9.25 million in plaintiffs’ attorney’s fees during the first quarter of 2005 and made certificates available to class members for rentals and discounts through November 2005. One additional extended viewing fee case in the United States is inactive and subject to dismissal pursuant to the Scott settlement. In addition, there is one case, filed on February 18, 1999 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, Cohen v. Blockbuster, not completely resolved by the Scott settlement. Marc Cohen, Uwe Stueckrad, Marc Perper and Denita Sanders assert common law and statutory claims for fraud and deceptive practices, unjust enrichment and unlawful penalties regarding Blockbuster’s extended viewing fee policies. Such claims were brought against Blockbuster, individually and on behalf of all entities doing business as Blockbuster or Blockbuster Video. Plaintiffs seek relief on behalf of themselves and other plaintiff class members including actual damages, attorney’s fees and injunctive relief. By order dated April 27, 2004, the Cohen trial court certified plaintiff classes for U.S. residents who incurred extended viewing fees and/or purchased unreturned videos between February 18, 1994 and December 31, 2004, and who were not part of the Scott settlement or who do not have a Blockbuster membership with an arbitration clause. In the same order, the trial court certified a defendant class comprised of all entities that have done business in the United States as Blockbuster or Blockbuster Video since February 18, 1994. Blockbuster believes the plaintiffs’ position in Cohen is without merit and Blockbuster intends to vigorously defend itself in the lawsuit. On March 10, 2003, in Marc Yedid v. Blockbuster Canada, filed on November 23, 2001, the Quebec Superior Court certified a class of customers in Quebec who paid extended viewing fees during the period of January 1, 1992 to the present. The case was tried in March 2004, and in September 2004, the court ruled in Blockbuster’s favor, dismissed the lawsuit and ordered plaintiffs to reimburse Blockbuster its costs. Plaintiffs appealed the trial court’s dismissal. On March 8, 2007, the Quebec Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s dismissal and ordered plaintiffs to reimburse Blockbuster its costs. In addition, two putative class action
16

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
lawsuits are pending against Blockbuster in Canada. William Robert Hazell filed an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on August 24, 2001 against Viacom Entertainment Canada Inc., Viacom, Blockbuster Canada Inc. and Blockbuster. The case asserts claims for unconscionability, violations of the trade practices act, breach of contract and high handed conduct. The relief sought includes actual damages, disgorgement, and exemplary and punitive damages. Douglas R. Hedley filed an action in the Court of Queen’s Bench, Judicial Centre of Regina, in Saskatchewan on July 19, 2002. The case asserts claims of unconscionability, unjust enrichment, misrepresentation and deception, and seeks recovery of actual damages of $3 million, disgorgement, declaratory relief, punitive and exemplary damages of $1 million and attorney’s fees. Blockbuster believes the plaintiffs’ positions in all of these cases are without merit and, if necessary, intends to vigorously defend itself.
On February 10, 2004, Howard Vogel filed a lawsuit in the Newcastle County Chancery Court, Delaware naming John Muething, Linda Griego, John Antioco, Jackie Clegg, Blockbuster, Viacom and Blockbuster’s directors who were also directors and/or officers of Viacom as defendants. The plaintiff alleges that a stock swap mechanism anticipated to be announced by Viacom would be a breach of fiduciary duty to minority stockholders and that the defendants engaged in unfair dealing and coercive conduct. The stockholder class action complaint asks the court to certify a class and to enjoin the then-anticipated transaction. Blockbuster believes the plaintiff’s position is without merit. Plaintiff has confirmed that Blockbuster and the other defendants are not required to respond to the pending complaint. Should it become necessary, Blockbuster intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation.
Blockbuster is a defendant in several lawsuits arising out of its “no late fees” program. On February 22, 2005, Thomas Tallarino filed a putative class action in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, alleging that Blockbuster’s “no late fees” program constitutes conversion and violates California consumer protection statutes prohibiting untrue and misleading advertising.

Court for the Northern District of Texas. On January 4, 2006, Victor Allgeier filed a putative collective class action complaint under the Exchange Act in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On April 28, 2006, the Sholom and Allgeier lawsuits were consolidated, and later amended. The consolidated lawsuit purports to be filed on behalf of those persons who purchased Blockbuster stock between September 8, 2004 and August 9, 2005. In the consolidated lawsuit, plaintiffs assert claims against Blockbuster, National Amusements Inc., Viacom, John F. Antioco, Richard J. Bressler, Jackie M. Clegg, Philippe P. Dauman, Michael D. Fricklas, Linda Griego, John L. Muething, Sumner M. Redstone and Larry J. Zine. Plaintiffs claim the above-referenced defendants committed securities fraud in violation of the Exchange Act by failing to disclose at the time of the Blockbuster split-off from Viacom that Blockbuster lacked the financial and other resources required to implement initiatives announced at that time. Plaintiffs claim violations of the Exchange Act for allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact by the defendants regarding Blockbuster’s financial results. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, court costs, attorney’s fees and expert witness fees. Blockbuster believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in the lawsuit.

Plaintiff asserts claims against Viacom, the Viacom Investment Committee, the Viacom Retirement Committee, William A. Roskin, John R. Jacobs, Mary Bell, Bruce Lewis, Robert G. Freedline, Larry J. Zine, Keith M. Holtz, Barbara Mickowski, Dan Satterthwaite, Phillipe P. Dauman, Sumner M. Redstone, Richard Bressler, Michael D. Fricklas, John L. Muething, Linda Griego, Jackie M. Clegg, John F. Antioco, Peter A. Bassi, Robert A. Bowman, Gary J. Fernandes, Mel Karmazin, Blockbuster, the Blockbuster Retirement Committee and the Blockbuster Investment Committee.

Blockbuster believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in the lawsuit.
On April 4, 2006, Netflix, Inc. v. Blockbuster, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit alleged, among other things, that Blockbuster had sold and/or offered for sale in the United States a service that infringed two Netflix patents by copying Netflix’s patented business method, including but not limited to copying Netflix’s dynamic queue, copying Netflix’s method of sending DVDs to subscribers based on ranked order of titles in their queue and copying Netflix’s method of allowing subscribers to update and reorder their queue. The lawsuit also alleged that Blockbuster had actively induced and/or contributed to others’ infringement of the two patents. The lawsuit sought a preliminary and/or permanent injunction enjoining Blockbuster from any further acts of infringement of the two patents, unspecified compensatory damages, reasonable costs and expenses, and such other relief as the court deems proper. On June 13, 2006, Blockbuster answered and asserted antitrust counterclaims against Netflix. The counterclaims alleged that, among other things, the Netflix patents are unenforceable and were obtained through deceptive practices, and that the attempt to enforce them against Blockbuster is an attempt to monopolize the online rental business. On April 30, 2007, Blockbuster dismissed its antitrust counterclaims against Netflix. Blockbuster continued to allege that Netflix failed to inform the U.S. Patent Office of previous patents and previous business methods of other companies, despite the legal duty to make such disclosures, and this failure rendered Netflix’s patents unenforceable. On June 25, 2007, Blockbuster and Netflix settled the case. On June 26, 2007, the case was dismissed with prejudice. The settlement did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2007.
