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, 2006 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 February 28, 2007. 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.

Certain amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the condensed consolidated financial statement presentation as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

On September 14, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased the entire issued and to be issued share capital of IXEurope plc (“IXEurope”), a publicly-held company headquartered in London, U.K. (the “IXEurope Acquisition”) (see Note 2). Under the final terms of the IXEurope Acquisition, IXEurope shareholders received 140 British pence in cash for each IXEurope share. The purchase price, including direct transaction costs, totaled 271,113,000 British pounds or $549,154,000. IXEurope, a similar business to that of the Company, operates data centers in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland and provides the Company with an immediate entry into the European data center market, supplementing the Company’s existing U.S. and Asia-Pacific operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the operations of IXEurope from September 14, 2007 to September 30, 2007 and reflect the net assets acquired. In September 2007, the Company completed the sale of 4,211,939 shares of its common stock resulting in net proceeds of $339,946,000 and the sale of its 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes resulting in gross proceeds of $395,986,000 (see Note 11) primarily to fund the IXEurope Acquisition.

Consolidation and Foreign Currency Transactions

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equinix and its subsidiaries, including the operations of IXEurope from September 14, 2007 to September 30, 2007. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, including intercompany foreign currency transactions that are anticipated to be repaid within the foreseeable future, are reported within other income (expense) on the Company’s accompanying statements of operations.

In September 2007, a dormant subsidiary of the Company in the Netherlands was substantially liquidated. As a result, the historical foreign exchange gain of $621,000 accumulated within other comprehensive income associated with this dormant subsidiary was recognized in the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 within other income (expense).

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 Equinix Exchange ports; (3) managed infrastructure services, such as Equinix Direct, bandwidth, mail service and managed platform solutions and (4) other services consisting of rent from non-IBX space. 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 for IBX space customers. 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 life of the installation. 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, when a customer wishes to terminate their contract early, is generally 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 generally not been significant. There were no significant service level credits recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

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. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are reported on a net basis and excluded from revenue.

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 which the Company had expected to collect the revenues. If the financial condition of Equinix’s customers were to deteriorate or if they became insolvent, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, greater 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. An additional reserve is established for all other accounts based on the age of the invoices and an analysis of historical credits issued. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The Company recorded a net adjustment of $775,000 to its U.S. recurring revenues as a result of the correction of billing errors attributable to prior periods, the net impact of which increased the Company’s U.S. recurring revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company concluded that the cumulative credit to recurring revenues, totaling $775,000, was not material to any previously-reported historical period and expected results of operations for the current fiscal year. As such, this cumulative credit was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and is included in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

The Company computes net income (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;” EITF Issue 04-8 “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share” and SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using net income (loss) and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using net income (loss), adjusted for interest expense as a result of the assumed conversion of the Company’s Convertible Subordinated Debentures, 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes and 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes, if dilutive, and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus any dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares include the assumed exercise, vesting and issuance activity of employee equity awards using the treasury stock method, as well as warrants and shares issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures, 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes and 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes.

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 IXEurope Acquisition did not result in a significant impact to the Company’s tax accounting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include acquired deferred tax assets of $1,188,000 attributable to the operations in Switzerland. The deferred tax assets in all the jurisdictions other than Switzerland had been fully reserved by IXEurope prior to the IXEurope Acquisition.

The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets, other than the deferred tax assets associated with its Singapore and Switzerland subsidiaries, until it becomes more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realizable. The Company released the tax valuation allowance on the Company’s Singaporean net deferred tax assets during the year ended December 31, 2006; the Company also recorded additional deferred tax assets attributable to Switzerland upon closing the IXEurope Acquisition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a tax provision of $215,000 and $766,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a tax provision of $270,000 and $870,000, respectively. The tax provision recorded in the periods ended September 30, 2007 was attributable to the Company’s foreign operations. The tax provision recorded in the periods ended September 30, 2006 is primarily related to federal alternative minimum tax, which was attributable to the Company’s domestic operations. The Company did not record any excess tax benefit associated with the stock options exercised by employees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $825,000 of excess tax benefit associated with the stock options exercised by employees during the period.

In January 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on

derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle being recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

As of the date of adopting FIN 48, the Company had approximately $1,883,000 of unrecognized tax benefits including $138,000 of interest primarily related to tax positions claiming refundable research credits in the State of Hawaii. The Company has filed an appeal in the Tax Court in Hawaii and is currently working to settle the claim. As of September 30, 2007, the Company believed that the appeal filed in the Tax Court in Hawaii would possibly be settled within the next nine months. However, the Company cannot estimate the range of any settlement. Subsequent to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded additional unrecognized tax benefits of $206,000 attributable to certain expenditures included in the Singaporean net operating loss carry-forward as it is probable that the inclusion of those expenditures in the Singaporean net operating loss carry-forward would be denied by the local tax authority. As a result, the total unrecognized tax benefits were $2,303,000 as of September 30, 2007. A majority of the unrecognized tax benefits, if subsequently recognized, will affect the Company’s effective tax rate at the time of recognition. The Company will continue to classify the interest and penalties recognized in accordance with paragraphs 15 and 16, respectively, of FIN 48 in the financial statements as income tax. The Company’s income tax returns for all tax years remain open to examination by federal and state taxing authorities due to the Company’s Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carry-forward. In addition, the Company’s tax years of 2001 through 2005 also remain open and subject to examination by local tax authorities in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company has major operations.

The Internal Revenue Service completed the examination of the Company’s income tax return for fiscal year 2003 during the three months ended June 30, 2007, which did not result in any impact to the Company’s tax liabilities and financial statements.

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress includes direct and indirect expenditures for the construction and expansion of IBX centers and is stated at original cost. The Company has contracted out substantially all of the construction and expansion efforts of its IBX centers to independent contractors under construction contracts. Construction in progress includes certain costs incurred under a construction contract including project management services, engineering and schematic design services, design development and construction services and other construction-related fees and services. In addition, the Company has capitalized certain interest costs during the construction phase. Once an IBX center or expansion project becomes operational, these capitalized costs are allocated to certain property and equipment categories and are depreciated at the appropriate rates consistent with the estimated useful life of the underlying assets.

Interest incurred is capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Costs.” Total interest cost incurred and total interest capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $8,636,000 and $2,974,000, respectively. Total interest cost incurred and total interest capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $21,360,000 and $6,120,000, respectively. Total interest cost incurred and total interest capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $3,958,000 and $354,000, respectively. Total interest cost incurred and total interest capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $11,862,000 and $1,042,000, respectively.

The Company recorded a net adjustment of $491,000 to its capitalized interest as a result of the inclusion of certain fixed assets under construction attributable to prior periods, the net impact of which decreased the Company’s interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The Company concluded that the cumulative amount, totaling $491,000, was not material to any previously-reported historical period and expected results of operations for the current fiscal year. As such, this capitalized interest was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and is included in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated retirement costs are capitalized and included as part of the carrying value of the long-lived asset and amortized over the useful life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the Company is accreting the liability in relation to the asset retirement obligations over time and the accretion expense is being recorded as a cost of revenue. The Company’s asset retirement obligations are primarily related to its IBX Centers, of which the majority are leased under long-term arrangements, and, in certain cases, are required to be returned to the landlords in original condition. All of the Company’s leased IBX centers have been subject to significant development by the Company in order to convert them from, in most cases, vacant buildings or warehouses into IBX centers. The majority of the Company’s leased IBX centers’ initial lease terms expire at various dates ranging from 2010 to 2027 and all of them have renewal options available to the Company.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded accretion expense related to its asset retirement obligations of $150,000 and $439,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded accretion expense related to its asset retirement obligations of $138,000 and $394,000, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of, and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with, SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” and related pronouncements (“SFAS 123(R)”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on the fair value of the award using an option-pricing model and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning in fiscal year 2006. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) providing supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and shares purchased under the employee stock purchase plan as they only have a service condition. The Company currently uses a Monte Carlo simulation option-pricing model to determine the fair value of certain restricted stock grants that have both a service and market price condition. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.

In January 2007, the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors approved stock option grants to employees, excluding executive officers, to purchase an aggregate of 511,310 shares of common stock as part of the Company’s annual refresh program. In addition, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 178,400 restricted stock units to certain employees, excluding executive officers, and an aggregate of 218,000 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units to executive officers as part of the annual refresh program. All such grants were made pursuant to the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. In April 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 84,000 shares of restricted common stock to the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer who joined the Company in April 2007. In September 2007, the Company granted 62,436 restricted stock units to the two top officers of IXEurope, subject to vesting conditions including continuous employment through at least the end of 2008 (see Note 2) and achievement of certain financial performance criteria of the Europe operations. Additionally, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the grant of 102,000 restricted stock units to senior management of IXEurope in September 2007 pursuant to the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. All awards are subject to vesting provisions. All such equity awards described

The customer contracts intangible asset is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 11 years and the lease intangible asset is being amortized over the remaining lease terms of the associated leases. All of these assets are denominated in British pounds and are subject to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company’s goodwill from Singapore is an asset denominated in Singapore dollars and is also subject to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company’s foreign currency translation gains and losses are a component of other comprehensive income and loss (see Note 15).

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company follows SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, which requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through the statement of operations. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

In July and August 2007, the Company entered into forward contracts to purchase 265,156,000 British pounds at an average forward rate of 2.020007, or the equivalent of $535,617,000, for purposes of hedging a portion of the purchase price of the IXEurope Acquisition. Upon cash payment in September 2007, the Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of $1,494,000, which is reflected within other income (expense) on the Company’s statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The Company acquired interest rate swaps in connection with the European Financing (see Note 12). Interest incurred for the European Financing is based on variable interest rates and exposes the Company to interest rate risk. To mitigate the interest rate exposure, IXEurope had entered into two interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of the European Financing in order to transfer floating rate exposure to the counterparty in exchange for fixed payments by the Company. Upon the date of the IXEurope Acquisition and through September 30, 2007, these interest rate swaps were considered not to be effective hedges under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. As a result, the change in fair value of these two interest rate swaps totaling a loss of $24,000 was recorded as an increase in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The Company may enter into additional hedging agreements in the future to mitigate its exposure to interest rate or foreign exchange risk.

2. IXEurope Acquisition

On September 14, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased the entire issued and to be issued share capital of IXEurope, a publicly-held company headquartered in London, U.K. Under the final terms of the IXEurope Acquisition, IXEurope shareholders received 140 British pence in cash for each IXEurope share. The purchase price, including direct transaction costs, totaled 271,113,000 British pounds or $549,154,000. IXEurope, a similar business to that of the Company, operates data centers in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland and provides the Company with an immediate entry into the European data center market, supplementing the Company’s existing U.S. and Asia-Pacific operations. This is the primary reason that contributed to the Company paying significantly more than the carrying amount of IXEurope’s historical net book value, resulting in a significant amount of goodwill and intangible assets being recorded by the Company.

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Fully-diluted shares of IXEurope held by IXEurope’s two top officers representing 1,974,000 British pounds of the total purchase price were not paid in cash upon closing. Instead, equity awards of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $4,007,000 were issued to the two top officers of IXEurope and are subject to vesting based on continuous employment through the end of 2008, as well as certain financial performance criteria of the Europe operations (the “IXEurope Equity Compensation”). The IXEurope Equity Compensation was not accounted for as part of the purchase price of IXEurope. Rather, the IXEurope Equity Compensation will be expensed into the operations of the Company over the vesting life of such awards.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is preliminarily allocated to IXEurope’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition. Based upon the estimated purchase price and the preliminary valuation, the preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to change based on the Company’s final analysis, is as follows (in thousands):


Cash and cash equivalents	$	7,425
Accounts receivable		15,322
Other current assets		16,611
Property and equipment		168,832
Goodwill		408,812

Loan payable		(65,196	)
Unfavorable leases		(6,525	)
Other liabilities		(7,271	)

Net assets acquired	$	549,154

A preliminary estimate of $65,831,000 has been allocated to customer contracts, an intangible asset with an estimated useful life of 11 years. A preliminary estimate of $4,319,000 has been allocated to favorable leases, an intangible asset with an estimated life of 15.8 years. A preliminary estimate of $6,525,000 has been allocated to unfavorable leases, a liability with an estimated life of 11.7 years.

A preliminary estimate of $408,812,000 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The preliminary purchase price allocation of IXEurope is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair values of IXEurope’s assets and liabilities becomes available. Any changes in the fair value of the net assets of IXEurope will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.

The Company expects to finalize its preliminary purchase price allocation in the fourth quarter of 2007 in conjunction with its year-end reporting.

The Company currently leases the majority of its IBX centers and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring through 2027. The IBX 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 for certain properties 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.

Convertible Subordinated Debentures

In March 2007, the Company entered into agreements with certain holders (“Holders”) of its 2.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due February 15, 2024, pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange an aggregate of 1,367,090 newly issued shares of its common stock for such Holders’ $54,000,000 of $86,250,000 principal amount of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the “Convertible Subordinated Debentures’ Partial Conversion”). The number of shares of common stock issued equals the amount issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures in accordance with their terms. In addition, each Holder received cash consideration equal to accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date totaling $111,000, as well as the present value of future interest due through February 15, 2009 and an incremental fee, totaling $3,395,000 (the “Inducement Fee”).

The Company recognized a loss on debt conversion totaling $3,395,000 as a result of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures’ Partial Conversion in accordance with FASB No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt”, due to the Inducement Fee. As a result of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures’ Partial Conversion, a total of $53,229,000 was credited to stockholders’ equity during the first quarter of 2007, which was comprised of $54,000,000 of Convertible Subordinated Debentures, offset by $771,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs since, at the time of issuance, the Convertible Subordinated Debentures did not contain a beneficial conversion feature. As of September 30, 2007, debt issuance costs related to the Convertible Subordinated Debentures, net of amortization, were $330,000 and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through February 15, 2009.

As of September 30, 2007, a total of $32,250,000 Convertible Subordinated Debentures remained outstanding and were convertible into 816,457 shares of the Company’s common stock.

2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes

In March 2007, the Company issued $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2012 (the “2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2007.

The 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes are governed by an Indenture dated as of March 30, 2007, 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 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes are unsecured and rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s existing or future senior debt and equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future subordinated debt.

Upon conversion, holders will receive, at the Company’s election, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. However, the Company may at any time irrevocably elect for the remaining term of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes to satisfy its obligation in cash up to 100% of the principal amount of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes converted, with any remaining amount to be satisfied, at the Company’s election, in shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The initial conversion rate is 8.9259 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes, subject to adjustment. This represents an initial conversion price of approximately $112.03 per share of common stock. Holders of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes may convert their notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date under the following circumstances:

•

during any fiscal quarter (and only during that fiscal quarter) ending after June 30, 2007, if the sale price of the Company’s common stock, for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous fiscal quarter, is greater than 130% of the conversion price per share of common stock on such last trading day, presently $145.64 per share (the “Stock Price Condition Conversion Clause”);

•

subject to certain exceptions, during the five business day period following any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate (the “Parity Provision Clause”);

•

if such Convertible Subordinated Notes have been called for redemption;

•

upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions described in the Indenture, such as a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange in which the Company’s common stock would be converted into cash or property other than securities (the “Corporate Action Provision Clause”); or

•

at any time on or after March 15, 2012.

Upon conversion, due to the conversion formulas associated with the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes, if the Company’s stock is trading at levels exceeding 130% of the conversion price per share of common stock, and if the Company elects to pay any portion of the consideration in cash, additional consideration beyond the $250,000,000 of gross proceeds received would be required. However, in no event would the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes exceed 11.6036 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, or the equivalent of $86.18 per share of common stock or a total of 2,900,900 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2007, the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes were convertible into 2,231,475 shares of the Company’s common stock.

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 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a note. Accrued but unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. The 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes 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 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes at any time after April 16, 2010 for cash but only if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the day the Company gives notice of redemption is greater than 130% of the applicable conversion price per share of common stock on the date of the notice, presently $145.64 per share. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Holders of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes have the right to require the Company to purchase with cash all or a portion of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Following certain corporate transactions that constitute a change of control, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes in connection with such change of control in certain circumstances.

The Company has considered the guidance in FASB No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, EITF Abstract No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” and EITF Abstract No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5, ‘Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,’ to Certain Convertible Instruments” and other related accounting pronouncements and has determined that the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes 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 initial conversion price outlined in the agreement. In addition, the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes contain one embedded derivative requiring bifurcation and separate accounting treatment, the Parity Provision Clause, which had a zero fair value as of September 30, 2007. The Company will be remeasuring this embedded derivative each reporting period, as applicable. Changes in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations.

The costs related to the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method, through March 15, 2012, the first date that the holders of the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes can convert without satisfaction of the Stock Price Condition Conversion Clause, Parity Provision Clause or the Corporate Action Provision Clause. Debt issuance costs related to the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes, net of amortization, were $7,169,000 as of September 30, 2007.

3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes

In September 2007, the Company issued $395,986,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes due October 15, 2014 (the “3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2008.

The 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes are governed by an Indenture dated as of September 26, 2007, 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 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes are unsecured and rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s existing or future senior debt and equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future subordinated debt.

Holders of the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes may convert their notes at their option on any day up to and including the business day immediately preceding the maturity date into shares of the Company’s common stock. The base conversion rate is 7.4360 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes, subject to adjustment. This represents a base conversion price of approximately $134.48 per share of common stock. If, at the time of conversion, the applicable stock price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the base conversion price, the conversion rate will be determined pursuant to a formula resulting in the receipt of up to 4.4616 additional shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes, subject to adjustment. However, in no event would the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes exceed 11.8976 per $1,000 principal amount of 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, or the equivalent of $84.05 per share of the Company’s common stock or a total of 4,711,283 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2007, the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes were convertible into 2,944,551 shares of the Company’s common stock.

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 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a note. Accrued but unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. The Company may not redeem the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes at its option.

Holders of the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes have the right to require the Company to purchase with cash all or a portion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Following certain corporate transactions that constitute a change of control, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes in connection with such change of control in certain circumstances.

The costs related to the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the seven-year term of the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes. Debt issuance costs related to the 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes, net of amortization, were $10,880,000 as of September 30, 2007.

Chicago IBX Financing

In February 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company obtained a loan of up to $110,000,000 to finance up to 60% of the development and construction costs of the Chicago Metro Area IBX Expansion Project (the “Chicago IBX Financing”). The Company periodically receives advances of funds in conjunction with costs incurred for construction of its Chicago Metro Area IBX Expansion Project (the “Loan Payable”). As of September 30, 2007, the Company had received advances totaling $93,721,000. As a result, up to $16,279,000 remained available for borrowing from the Chicago IBX Financing and is expected to be borrowed periodically during the remaining construction period of the Chicago Metro Area IBX Expansion Project until completion by the end of 2007.

The Loan Payable has a maturity date of January 31, 2010, with options to extend for up to an additional two years, in one-year increments, upon satisfaction of certain extension conditions. The Loan Payable bears interest at a floating rate (one, three or six month LIBOR plus 2.75%) with interest payable monthly, which commenced March 1, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the Loan Payable had an effective interest rate of 8.375% per annum. The Chicago IBX Financing has no specific financial covenants and contains a limited parent company guaranty.

The debt issuance costs related to the Chicago IBX Financing were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through January 31, 2010. Debt issuance costs related to the Chicago IBX Financing, net of amortization, were $2,064,000 as of September 30, 2007.

Asia-Pacific Financing

In August 2007, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, located in Singapore and Tokyo, Japan, entered into an approximately $40,000,000 multi-currency credit facility agreement (the “Asia-Pacific Financing”). The Asia-Pacific Financing has a four-year term that allows these two subsidiaries to borrow up to 23,000,000 Singapore dollars and 2,932,500,000 Japanese yen, respectively, during the first 12-month period with repayment to occur over the remaining three years in twelve 12 quarterly installments (collectively, the “Loans Payable”). Amounts undrawn at the end of the 12-month period shall be cancelled. The Asia-Pacific Financing has a commitment fee of 0.3% on unutilized amounts during the 12-month draw period and bears interest at a floating rate (the relevant three-month local cost of funds for Singapore and Japan), as applicable, plus 1.85%-2.50% depending on the ratio of the Company’s senior indebtedness to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, with interest payable quarterly. The Asia-Pacific Financing may be used by these two subsidiaries to fund capital expenditures on leasehold improvements, equipment, and other installation costs related to expansion plans in Singapore and Tokyo. The Asia-Pacific Financing is guaranteed by the parent, Equinix Inc., is secured by the assets of these two subsidiaries and has several financial covenants, with which the Company must comply quarterly. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had borrowed 18,282,000 Singapore dollars at an initial interest rate per annum of 4.66% and 1,476,833,000 Japanese yen at an initial interest rate per annum of 2.69%. Collectively the amounts borrowed equal $25,033,000 leaving $14,967,000 available to borrow under the Asia-Pacific Financing. As of September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in connection with the Asia-Pacific Financing.

The debt issuance costs related to the Asia-Pacific Financing were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the four-year life of the Asia-Pacific Financing. Debt issuance costs related to the Asia-Pacific Financing, net of amortization, were $636,000 as of September 30, 2007.

European Financing

In September 2007, as a result of the IXEurope Acquisition (see Note 2), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired a senior facilities agreement totaling 82,000,000 British pounds (or approximately $166,116,000 as translated using effective exchange rates as of September 30, 2007) (the “European Financing”). The European Financing is comprised of three facilities: (i) Facility A, which is available to draw upon through March 2008, provides for a term loan of up to 40,000,000 British pounds and bears a floating interest rate per annum of between 0.75% and 2.0% above LIBOR or EURIBOR; (ii) Facility B, which is available to draw upon through June 2010, provides for a term loan of up to 40,000,000 British pounds and bears a floating interest rate per annum of between 0.75% and 2.25% above LIBOR or EURIBOR and (iii) Facility C, which is available to draw upon through May 2014, provides for a revolving credit facility of up to 2,000,000 British pounds and bears a floating interest rate per annum of between 0.75% and 2.0% above LIBOR or EURIBOR (collectively, the “Loans Payable”). The European Financing has a final maturity date of June 30, 2014 and interest is payable in periods of one, two, three or six months at the choice of the Company’s European subsidiary. Facility A will be repaid in 13 semi-annual installments commencing June 30, 2008. Facility B will be repaid in nine semi-annual installments commencing June 30, 2010. Facility C will be repaid at the final maturity date. The European Financing is available to fund the Company’s subsidiary’s current or future operations in Europe, including capital expenditures, for certain pre-approved

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

subsidiaries in Europe. The European Financing is collateralized by certain of the Company’s assets in Europe and contains several financial covenants with which the Company must comply quarterly. As of September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in connection with the European Financing.

Upon a written request from the Company at any time after December 31, 2007 and through the final maturity date, and upon approval by the lenders, an additional term loan of up to 15,000,000 British pounds (or approximately $30,387,000 as translated using effective exchange rates as of September 30, 2007) may be made available to the Company. The European Financing requires the Company to hedge the floating interest rates inherent in the European Financing. As a result, the Company has two interest rate swaps outstanding in connection with the European Financing, which are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No., 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended (see Note 1).

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had borrowed a total of 32,596,000 British pounds (or approximately $66,032,000 as translated using effective exchange rates as of September 30, 2007) under the European Financing at a blended interest rate per annum of 7.65% leaving 49,404,000 British pounds (or approximately $100,084,000 as translated using effective exchange rates as of September 30, 2007) available to borrow under the European Financing.

Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line

In March 2007, the Company amended certain provisions of the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line which related to certain financial covenants, the addition of a liquidity covenant and the revision of the definition of “Approved Subordinated Debt” in order to allow the Company to proceed with the 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes offering (see Footnote 11). The liquidity covenant requires the Company to maintain total liquidity of at least $75,000,000. The liquidity covenant is defined as the sum of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, 80% of long-term investments and 10% of net accounts receivable. In the event of a default, Silicon Valley Bank has the right to exercise a notice of control to give Silicon Valley Bank the sole right to control, direct or dispose of the assets as it deems necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line, if any. In September 2007, the Company further amended certain provisions of the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line which related to certain financial covenants and the definition of “Designation of Obligations” to include the Company’s 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes offering that closed on September 26, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in connection with the amended Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line.

Borrowings under the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line continue to bear interest at variable interest rates, plus the applicable margins, in effect prior to the amendment, based on either prime rates or LIBOR rates. The Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line matures on September 15, 2008 and remains secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic personal property assets and certain of the Company’s real property leases.

As of September 30, 2007, letters of credit totaling $14,919,000 had been issued and were outstanding under the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line. However, no borrowings were outstanding under the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line. As a result, the amount of borrowings available to the Company was $60,081,000. These letters of credit automatically renew in successive one-year periods until the final termination. If the beneficiaries for any of these letters of credit decide to draw down on these letters of credit, the Company will be required to fund these letters of credit either through cash collateral or borrowings under the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line. As of September 30, 2007, had the Company borrowed against the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line, it would have had an effective interest rate of 7.87% per annum.

Senior Bridge Loan

In June 2007, the Company entered into a Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement (the “Senior Bridge Loan”) with Citibank, N.A., as Lender, and as agent for the Lender, for a principal amount of $500,000,000, to secure temporary financing for the IXEurope Acquisition.

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The Senior Bridge Loan had an initial maturity of 12 months and, at the initial maturity date, would have been converted into a seven-year term loan that would have been exchangeable by the Lenders at any time into fixed-rate exchange notes with registration rights to the extent the Company drew down on the Senior Bridge Loan and any amounts outstanding under the Senior Bridge Loan were not repaid within one year. The Senior Bridge Loan bore interest at floating rates during the first three months at an initial rate of LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum and the interest was payable quarterly. The rate for each subsequent three-month period increased by 0.5% over the floating rate in effect for the immediate preceding three-month period. The interest rate for each three-month period would have been equal to the greater of the interest rate applicable for such period or 9.0% per annum but would not have exceeded 11.25% per annum.

The Company incurred $2,554,000 of debt issuance costs in securing the Senior Bridge Loan. In September 2007, the Senior Bridge Loan was terminated unused and, as a result, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment totaling $2,554,000 reflecting the immediate write-off of all such debt issuance costs previously capitalized.

Legal Matters Relating to Stock Option Granting Practices

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

California securities law as a result of purported backdating of stock option grants, insider trading and the preparation and approval of inaccurate financial results. Plaintiffs seek to recover, on behalf of Equinix, unspecified monetary damages, corporate governance changes, equitable and injunctive relief, restitution and fees and costs. A motion to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint is pending. In addition to the pending state court derivative action, the Company may be subject to additional derivative or other lawsuits that may be presented on an individual or class basis alleging claims based on its stock option granting practices.

Responding to, investigating and/or defending against civil litigations and government inquiries regarding the Company’s stock option grants and practices will present a substantial cost to the Company in both cash and the attention of certain management and may have a negative impact on the Company’s operations. In addition, in the event of any negative finding or assertion by a court of law or any third-party claim related to the Company’s stock option granting practices, the Company may be liable for damages, fines or other civil or criminal remedies, or be required to restate its prior period financial statements or adjust its current period financial statements. Any such adverse action could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and current market value.

The Company believes that while an unfavorable outcome to any or all of the above-mentioned inquiries, cases or complaints is reasonably possible, it is not probable. As a result, the Company has not accrued for any settlements in connection with these legal matters as of September 30, 2007.

Other 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 initial public offering (the “Underwriter Defendants”). 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 and Sections 10(b), Rule 10b-5 and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and the 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 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. 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. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit vacated a decision by the district court granting class certification in six “focus” cases, which are intended to serve as test cases. Plaintiffs selected these six cases, which do not include Equinix. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied a petition for rehearing filed by plaintiffs, but noted that plaintiffs could ask the district court to certify more narrow classes than those that were rejected.

Prior to the Second Circuit’s decision, a majority of issuers, including Equinix, and their insurers had submitted a settlement agreement to the district court for approval. In light of the Second Circuit opinion, the parties agreed that the settlement could not be approved because the defined settlement class, like the litigation class, cannot be certified. On June 25, 2007, the Court approved a stipulation filed by the plaintiffs and the issuers which terminated the proposed settlement. On August 14, 2007, plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in the six focus cases. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining class certification, they are expected to amend the complaint against Equinix in the same manner that they amended the complaints against the focus case issuers and to seek certification of a class in the Equinix case. The amended complaints against the focus case issuers include a number of changes, such as changes to the definition of the purported class of investors, and the elimination of the Individual Defendants as defendants. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. The Company cannot predict whether its will be able to renegotiate a settlement that complies with the Second Circuit’s mandate, nor can the Company predict the amount of any such settlement.

While 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, the Company has insurance coverage that it believes is sufficient to cover any reasonably possible liability resulting from this litigation. The Company and its officers and directors intend to continue to defend the actions vigorously.

Estimated and Contingent Liabilities

The Company estimates exposure on certain liabilities, such as income and 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 for 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.

Other Purchase Commitments

Primarily as a result of the Company’s various IBX expansion projects, as of September 30, 2007, the Company was contractually committed for $136,471,000 of unaccrued capital expenditures, primarily for IBX equipment not yet delivered and labor not yet provided, in connection with the work necessary to open these IBX centers and make them available to customers for installation. In addition, the Company had numerous other, non-capital purchase commitments in place as of September 30, 2007, such as commitments to purchase power in select locations, primarily in the U.S., Singapore and the United Kingdom, through 2007 and thereafter, and other open purchase orders for goods or services to be delivered or provided during 2007. Such other miscellaneous purchase commitments totaled $33,609,000 as of September 30, 2007.

16. Segment Information

The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in a single operational segment: the design, build-out and operation of network neutral IBX centers. All revenues result from the operation of these IBX centers. However, the Company operates in three distinct geographic segments, comprised of the U.S., Asia-Pacific and Europe. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources based on financial data consistent with the presentation in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and based on these three geographic segments.

17. Restructuring Charges

2004 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 restructuring charges 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. Both lease terms run through 2015.

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. The Company records 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. 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.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded an additional restructuring charge of $407,000 as a result of revised sublease assumptions on one of these two excess space leases as new information became available. As the Company currently has no plans to enter into lump sum lease terminations with either of the landlords associated with these two excess space leases, the Company has reflected its accrued restructuring liability as both current and non-current on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company is contractually committed to these two excess space leases through 2015.

2005 Restructuring Charges

In October 2005, in light of the availability of fully or partially built-out data centers in the Silicon Valley, including the possibility of expansion among some of the four IBX centers the Company currently has in the Silicon Valley, the Company made the decision that retaining the approximately 40 acre San Jose Ground Lease for future expansion was no longer economical. In conjunction with this decision, the Company entered into an agreement with the landlord of this property for the early termination of the San Jose Ground Lease property whereby the Company would pay $40,000,000 over the next four years plus property taxes, which commenced on January 1, 2006, to terminate this lease, which would otherwise require significantly higher cumulative lease payments through 2020 (the “San Jose Ground Lease Termination”). As a result of the San Jose Ground Lease Termination, the Company recorded a $33,814,000 restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2005, which represents the present value of the Company’s estimated future cash payments to exit this property, as well as the write-off of all remaining property and equipment attributed to the development of this property.

The Company estimated the future cash payments required to exit the San Jose Ground Lease, 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. The Company’s right to occupy this property terminates on December 31, 2007 and can be terminated at any time prior to December 31, 2007 upon the landlord providing the Company at least 10 days prior written notice; however, even if the landlord early terminates, the Company is still required to pay the full $40,000,000 of payments due. The Company records 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 the San Jose Ground Lease.

18. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

19. Subsequent Events

In October 2007, the Company amended certain provisions of the $75,000,000 Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line which primarily related to the modification of certain financial covenants as a result of the issuance of 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes.

In October 2007, the Company received additional advances related to the Chicago IBX Financing (see Note 12) totaling $4,787,000, bringing the cumulative Loan Payable to date to $98,508,000 with a blended interest rate of 7.94% per annum. As a result, the amount available to borrow from the Chicago IBX Financing totals $11,492,000.

In October 2007, the Company received additional advances related to the European Financing (see Note 12) totaling 6,000,000 British pounds or approximately $12,308,000, bringing the cumulative Loan Payable to date to 38,621,000 British pounds or approximately $79,226,000 with a blended interest rate of 7.62% per annum. As a result, the amount available to borrow from the European Financing totals 43,379,000 British pounds or approximately $86,890,000.

Overview

Equinix provides network neutral colocation, interconnection and managed services to enterprises, content companies, systems integrators and the world’s largest network providers. In September 2007, we completed the acquisition of IXEurope Plc, or IXEurope, headquartered in London, U.K., whereby IXEurope became our wholly-owned subsidiary. We refer to this transaction as the IXEurope acquisition. IXEurope, a similar business to ours, operates network neutral data centers in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland and provides us with an immediate entry into the European data center market, supplementing our existing U.S. and Asia-Pacific operations. As of September 30, 2007, we operate IBX centers in the Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C. metro areas in the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and Japan in the Asia-Pacific region, and the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland in the Europe region.

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 centers, we believe we have established a critical mass of customers. As more customers locate in our IBX centers, 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. Our focused business model is based on our critical mass of customers and the resulting network effect. This critical mass and the resulting network effect, combined with our strong financial position, continue to drive new customer growth and bookings.

Historically, our market has been served by large telecommunications carriers who have bundled their telecommunications products and services with their colocation offerings. A number of these telecommunications carriers have eliminated or reduced their colocation footprint to focus on their core businesses. In 2003, as an example, one major telecommunications company, Sprint, announced its plans to exit the colocation and hosting market in order to focus on its core service offerings, while another telecommunications company, Cable & Wireless Plc, sold its U.S. assets to another telecommunications company, Savvis Communications Corp, in a bankruptcy auction. In 2005 and 2006, other providers, such as Abovenet and Verio, have selectively sold off certain of their colocation centers. Each of these colocation providers own and operate a network. We do not own or operate a network, yet have greater than 200 networks operating out of our IBX centers. As a result, we are able to offer our customers a substantial choice of networks given our network neutrality thereby allowing our customers to choose from numerous network service providers. We believe this is a distinct and sustainable competitive advantage, especially when the telecommunications industry is experiencing many business challenges and changes as evidenced by the numerous bankruptcies and consolidations within this industry during the past several years. Furthermore, this industry consolidation has constrained the supply of suitable data center space and has had a positive effect on industry pricing.

Excluding the impact of the IXEurope acquisition, our customer count increased to 1,453 as of September 30, 2007 versus 1,260 as of September 30, 2006, an increase of 15%. Our utilization rate represents the percentage of our cabinet space billing versus total cabinet space available. Excluding the impact of the IXEurope acquisition, our utilization rate was 61% as of September 30, 2007 and 54% as of September 30, 2006; however, further excluding the impact of our recent IBX center openings in the Los Angeles, Chicago, Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C. metro areas, our utilization rate would have been 62% as of September 30, 2007. Our utilization rate varies from market to market among our IBX centers in our markets across the U.S., Asia-Pacific and Europe. We continue to monitor the available capacity in each of our selected markets. To the extent we have limited capacity available in a given market, it may limit our ability for growth in that market. Once capacity becomes limited, we will perform demand studies to determine if future expansion is warranted. In addition, power and cooling requirements for most customers are growing on a per unit basis. As a result, customers are consuming an increasing amount of power per cabinet. Although we generally do not control the amount of draw our customers take from installed circuits, we have negotiated power consumption limitations with certain of our high power demand customers. This increased power consumption has driven the requirement to build out our new IBX centers to support power and cooling needs twice that of previous IBX centers. We could face power limitations in our centers even though we may have additional physical capacity available within a specific IBX center. This could have a negative impact on the available utilization capacity of a given center, which could have a negative impact on our ability to grow revenues, affecting our financial performance, operating results and cash flows. As a result of these power limitations in our IBX centers that were opened before 2007, the maximum utilization rate that we expect to achieve for most IBX centers until we consider an IBX center full or sold-out is approximately 75-80% depending on the building configurations. Due to these power limitations, commencing with the first quarter of 2007, we began to track the utilization of our centers on a net sellable cabinet capacity basis. Therefore, our utilization rate as of September 30, 2007 on a net sellable cabinet capacity basis, excluding the impact of IXEurope acquisition, was 79% versus the 61% noted above under our previous utilization rate methodology, which does not factor in these power limitations.

Strategically, we will continue to look at attractive opportunities to grow our market share and selectively improve our footprint and service offerings, such as our 2005 expansions in the Silicon Valley, Chicago and Los Angeles metro area markets, our 2006 expansions in the Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York and Tokyo, Japan metro area markets, which opened in 2007 (see “Recent Developments” below), and our 2007 San Jose and Los Angeles property acquisitions and expansions in the Singapore, Washington, D.C., Silicon Valley and Los Angeles metro area markets, as well as the IXEurope acquisition. However, we will continue to be very selective with any similar opportunities. As was the case with these recent expansions in our existing markets in the Washington, D.C., Silicon Valley, Chicago, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Singapore metro area markets or our expansion in new markets, such as Europe with the IXEurope acquisition, our expansion criteria will be dependent on demand from new and existing customers, quality of the design, power capacity, access to networks, capacity availability in current market location, amount of incremental investment required by us in the targeted property, lead-time to break-even and in-place customers. Like our recent expansions, the right combination of these factors may be attractive to us. Dependent on the particular deal, these acquisitions may require upfront cash payments and additional capital expenditures or may be funded through long-term financing arrangements in order to bring these properties up to Equinix standards. Property expansion may be in the form of a purchase of real property, long-term leasing arrangements or acquisitions. Future purchases, construction or acquisitions may be completed by us or with partners or potential customers to minimize the outlay of cash, which can be significant.

Our business is based on a recurring revenue model comprised of colocation, interconnection and managed infrastructure services. We consider these services recurring as our customers are billed on a fixed and recurring basis each month for the duration of their contract, which is generally one to three years in length. Our recurring revenues are a significant component of our total revenues comprising greater than 90% of our total revenues. Over the past few years, greater than half of our then existing customers order new services in any given quarter representing greater than half of the new orders received in each quarter.

Our non-recurring revenues are primarily comprised of installation services related to a customer’s initial deployment and professional services that we perform. These services are considered to be non-recurring as they are billed typically once and only upon completion of the installation or professional services work performed. The majority of these non-recurring revenues are typically billed on the first invoice distributed to the customer in connection with their initial installation. As a percentage of total revenues, we expect non-recurring revenues to represent less than 10% of total revenues for the foreseeable future.

The largest cost components of our cost of revenues are depreciation, rental payments related to our leased IBX centers, utility costs including electricity and bandwidth, IBX employees’ salaries and benefits, including stock-based compensation, supplies and equipment and security services. A substantial majority of our cost of revenues is fixed in nature and should not vary significantly from period to period. However, there are certain costs, which are considered more variable in nature, including utilities and supplies, that are directly related to growth in our existing and new customer base. We expect the cost of our utilities, specifically electricity, will increase in the future on a per unit or fixed basis in addition to on a customer growth or variable basis. In addition, the cost of electricity is generally higher in the summer months as compared to other times of the year.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for sales and marketing personnel, including stock-based compensation, sales commissions, marketing programs, public relations, promotional materials and travel.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, including stock-based compensation, accounting, legal and other professional service fees, other general corporate expenses such as our corporate headquarter office lease and some depreciation expense.

Recent Developments

In January 2007, we entered into a conditional purchase agreement to purchase the building and property where our original Silicon Valley IBX center is located for $65.2 million, including closing costs, which was paid in full in a cash transaction during July 2007 following an initial $6.5 million cash deposit paid in January 2007. Furthermore, in August 2007, we purchased an adjacent piece of land for $6.2 million, including closing costs, for potential future expansion. We refer to these transactions as the Silicon Valley property acquisition.

In February 2007, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries obtained a loan of up to $110.0 million to finance up to 60% of the development and construction costs of our Chicago metro area IBX expansion project. We refer to this transaction as the Chicago IBX financing. We periodically receive advances of funds in conjunction with costs incurred for the construction of our Chicago metro area IBX expansion project, which we refer to as our loan payable. As of September 30, 2007, we had received advances totaling $93.7 million. As a result, up to $16.3 million remained available for borrowing from the Chicago IBX financing and is expected to be borrowed periodically during the remaining construction period of the Chicago metro area IBX expansion project until its completion by the end of 2007. The loan payable has a maturity date of January 31, 2010, with options to extend for up to an additional two years, in one-year increments, upon satisfaction of certain extension conditions. The loan payable bears interest at a floating rate (one, three or six month LIBOR plus 2.75%) with interest payable monthly, which commenced March 1, 2007. In October 2007, we received additional advances totaling $4.8 million, bringing the cumulative loan payable to date to $98.5 million with a blended interest rate of 7.94% per annum.

In March and July 2007, we entered into long-term leases for new space in the same building in which our existing Singapore IBX center is located. Minimum payments under these leases, which qualify as operating leases, total 5.0 million Singapore dollars (approximately $3.3 million as translated using effective exchange rates at September 30, 2007) in cumulative lease payments with monthly payments commencing in the third quarter of 2007. We are building out this new space in multiple phases and plan to invest approximately $15.9 million in total, of which approximately $12.2 million was incurred as of September 30, 2007.

In March 2007, we extended an offer of employment to Stephen M. Smith to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Smith commenced his employment with us on April 2, 2007. Prior to joining us, Mr. Smith served as senior vice president at HP Services, an operating segment of Hewlett-Packard Co., from January 2005 to October 2006. Prior to joining Hewlett-Packard Co., Mr. Smith served as vice president of global professional and managed services at Lucent Technologies Inc. from September

2003 to January 2005. From October 1987 to September 2003, he spent 17 years with Electronic Data Systems Corporation in a variety of positions, including chief sales officer, president of EDS Asia-Pacific, and president of EDS Western Region. Mr. Smith earned a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

In March 2007, we entered into agreements with certain holders of our convertible subordinated debentures due February 15, 2024, pursuant to which we agreed to exchange an aggregate of 1.4 million newly issued shares of our common stock for such holders’ $54.0 million of $86.3 million principal amount of the convertible subordinated debentures. The number of shares of common stock issued equaled the amount issuable upon conversion of the convertible subordinated debentures in accordance with their original terms. In addition, each holder received cash consideration equal to accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date totaling $110,000, as well as the present value of future interest due through February 15, 2009 and an incremental fee, totaling $3.4 million, which was recorded as loss on conversion of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

In March 2007, we announced our intention to build out a new IBX center within the Ashburn campus, which will be the fifth IBX center in the Washington, D.C. metro area, in order to further expand our existing Washington, D.C metro area IBX center. We refer to this project as the Washington, D.C. metro area IBX expansion project. We plan to spend approximately $70.0 million for the Washington, D.C. metro area IBX expansion project, of which $9.3 million was incurred as of September 30, 2007.

In March 2007, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.50% convertible subordinated notes due 2012. The initial conversion rate is 8.9259 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible subordinated notes, subject to adjustment. This represents an initial conversion price of approximately $112.03 per share of common stock or 2.2 million shares of our common stock. Upon conversion, holders will receive, at our election, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. We have used or intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the funding of our expansion activities and working capital requirements. We refer to this transaction as the 2.50% convertible subordinated notes offering.

In June 2007, we purchased a new property, comprised of land and an empty building, located in El Segundo, California, for $49.1 million, including closing costs, which we paid in full in a cash transaction during June 2007. We refer to this project as the Los Angeles metro area IBX expansion project. We plan to spend approximately $95.0 million for the Los Angeles metro area IBX expansion project, of which $1.1 million was incurred as of September 30, 2007.

In June 2007, we announced our plan to invest approximately $41.0 million on an existing IBX center in the Silicon Valley metro area. We intend to expand this IBX center for customer availability during the second quarter of 2008. We refer to this project as the Silicon Valley metro area IBX expansion project.

In June 2007, we entered into a senior bridge loan credit agreement with Citibank, N.A., as lender, and as agent for the lender, for a principal amount of $500.0 million, to finance the IXEurope acquisition. We refer to this transaction as the senior bridge loan. The senior bridge loan had an initial maturity of 12 months and, at the initial maturity date, would have been converted into a seven-year term loan that would have been exchangeable by the lenders at any time into fixed-rate exchange notes with registration rights to the extent we drew down on the senior bridge loan and any amounts outstanding under the senior bridge loan were not repaid within one year. The senior bridge loan bore interest at floating rates during the first three months at an initial rate of LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum and the interest was payable quarterly. The rate for each subsequent three-month period increased by 0.5% over the floating rate in effect for the immediate preceding three-month period. The interest rate for each three-month period our have been equal to the greater of the interest rate applicable for such period or 9.0% per annum but would not have exceeded 11.25% per annum. We incurred $2.5 million of debt issuance costs in securing the senior bridge loan. In September 2007, the senior bridge loan was terminated unused and, as a result, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment totaling $2.5 million reflecting the immediate write-off of all such debt issuance costs previously capitalized.

In July 2007, Christopher Paisley was elected to our board of directors and our audit committee. Mr. Paisley will serve as the audit committee’s chair and as its financial expert. Mr. Paisley has been the Dean’s Executive Professor of Accounting and Finance at the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University since January 2001. From September 1985 until May 2000, Mr. Paisley was the Senior Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of 3Com Corporation. Mr. Paisley currently serves as a director of Electronics for Imaging, Inc. and Volterra Semiconductor Corporation, both public companies.

In August 2007, our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, located in Singapore and Tokyo, Japan, entered into an approximately $40.0 million multi-currency credit facility agreement. We refer this transaction as the Asia-Pacific financing. The Asia-Pacific financing has a four-year term that allows these two subsidiaries to borrow up to 23.0 million Singapore dollars and 2.9 billion Japanese yen, respectively, during the first 12-month period with repayment to occur over the remaining three years in 12 equal quarterly installments. Amounts undrawn at the end of the first 12-month period shall be cancelled. The Asia-Pacific financing has a commitment fee of 0.3% on unutilized amounts during the 12-month draw period and bears interest at a floating rate (the relevant three-month local cost of funds for Singapore and Japan), as applicable, plus 1.85%-2.50% depending on the ratio of our senior indebtedness to our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, with interest payable quarterly. The Asia-Pacific financing may be used by these two subsidiaries to fund capital expenditures on leasehold improvements, equipment, and other installation costs related to expansion plans in Singapore and Tokyo. The Asia-Pacific financing is guaranteed by us, is secured by the assets of these two subsidiaries and has several financial covenants, with which we must comply quarterly. As of September 30, 2007, we had borrowed 18.3 million Singapore dollars at an initial interest rate per annum of 4.66% and 1.5 billion Japanese yen at an initial interest rate per annum of 2.69%. Collectively the amounts borrowed equal to approximately $25.0 million leaving approximately $15.0 million remaining to borrow under the Asia-Pacific financing.

On September 14, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours purchased the entire issued and to be issued share capital of IXEurope, a publicly-held company headquartered in London, U.K. Under the final terms of the IXEurope acquisition, IXEurope shareholders received 140 British pence in cash for each IXEurope share. The purchase price, including direct transaction costs, totaled 271.1 million British pounds or $549.2 million. IXEurope, a similar business to ours, operates data centers in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland and provides us with an immediate entry into the European data center market, supplementing our existing U.S. and Asia-Pacific operations. The IXEurope acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). In July and August 2007, we entered into forward contracts to purchase 265.2 million British pounds at an average forward rate of 2.020007, or the equivalent of $535.6 million, to be delivered in September 2007, for purposes of hedging a portion of the purchase price of the IXEurope acquisition. Upon cash payment in September 2007, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of $1.5 million, which is reflected within other income (expense) on our statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

In September 2007, we closed an offering of 4.2 million shares of our common stock at $84.05 per share (the last reported sale price of our common stock on September 20, 2007). We refer to this transaction as the common stock offering. We received total proceeds of $339.9 million, net of the underwriting discount and other offering expenses. In September 2007, we issued $396.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.00% convertible subordinated notes due 2014. The initial conversion rate is 7.4360 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible subordinated notes, subject to adjustment. This represents an initial conversion price of approximately $134.48 per share of common stock or 2.9 million shares of our common stock. We refer to this transaction as the 3.00% convertible subordinated notes offering.

In October 2007, we amended certain provisions of the $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line which primarily related to the modification of certain financial covenants as a result of the 3.00% convertible subordinated notes offering.

In October 2007, we received additional advances related to the European financing totaling 6.0 million British pounds or approximately $12.3 million, bringing the cumulative loan payable to date to 38.6 million British pounds or approximately $79.2 million with a blended interest rate of 7.62% per annum. As a result, the amount available to borrow from the European financing totals 43.4 million British pounds or approximately $86.9 million.

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, 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, impairment of long-lived assets, accounting for asset retirement obligations, accounting for leases and IBX acquisitions, accounting for restructuring charges and accounting for stock-based compensation, which are discussed in more detail under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 include the operations of IXEurope from September 14 to September 30, 2007 as a result of the IXEurope acquisition, which closed on the morning of September 14, 2007. As a result, only 17 days of operations are reported from our Europe operations. The fourth quarter of 2007 will represent the first quarter that will include full quarterly results from our Europe operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Revenues. Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were split between the following revenue classifications (dollars in thousands):


	Three months ended September 30,
	2007		%		2006		%
Recurring revenues	$	99,288	96	%	$	69,918	95	%
Non-recurring revenues		4,494	4	%		3,808	5	%

Total revenues	$	103,782	100	%	$	73,726	100	%

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were geographically comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):


	Three months ended September 30,
	2007		%		2006		%
U.S. revenues	$	83,685	81	%	$	63,654	86	%
Asia-Pacific revenues		14,643	14	%		10,072	14	%
Europe revenues		5,454	5	%		—	0	%

Total revenues	$	103,782	100	%	$	73,726	100	%

We recognized revenues of $103.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to revenues of $73.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a 41% increase. We analyze our business geographically between the U.S., Asia-Pacific and Europe as further discussed below.

U.S. Revenues. We recognized U.S. revenues of $83.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $63.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. U.S. revenues consisted of recurring revenues of $80.6 million and $60.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, a 33% increase. U.S. recurring revenues consist primarily of colocation and interconnection services plus a nominal amount of managed infrastructure services and rental income. The period over period growth in recurring revenues was primarily the result of an increase in orders from both

our existing customers and new customers acquired during the period as reflected in the growth in our customer count and utilization rate, as discussed above, in both our new and existing IBX centers, as well as selective price increases in each of our IBX markets. Most notably, we recorded $6.1 million of revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2007 from our newly opened IBX centers in the Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C. metro areas. We expect our U.S. recurring revenues, particularly colocation and interconnection services, to continue to remain our most significant source of revenue for the foreseeable future.

In addition, U.S. revenues consisted of non-recurring revenues of $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. U.S. non-recurring revenues consisted of the recognized portion of deferred installation and professional services.

Asia-Pacific Revenues. We recognized Asia-Pacific revenues of $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a 45% increase. Asia-Pacific revenues consisted of recurring revenues of $13.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, consisting primarily of colocation and managed infrastructure services. Our Asia-Pacific colocation revenues are similar to the revenues that we generate from our U.S. IBX centers; however, our Singapore IBX center has additional managed infrastructure service revenue, such as mail service and managed platform solutions, which we do not currently offer in any other IBX center location. In addition, Asia-Pacific revenues consisted of non-recurring revenues of $1.1 million and $549,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Asia-Pacific revenues are generated from Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo, with Singapore representing approximately 36% and 39%, respectively, of the regional revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The overall growth in our Asia-Pacific revenues is primarily the result of an increase in the customer base in this region during the past year, particularly in Hong Kong, Sydney and Tokyo. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded $567,000 of revenues from our new IBX center in Tokyo, which we acquired in December 2006, and our Singapore IBX expansion. We expect our Asia-Pacific revenues to continue to grow.

Europe Revenues. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition that closed on September 14, 2004, we recognized revenues of $5.5 million in Europe during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues were $62.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $49.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a 28% increase.

U.S. Cost of Revenues. U.S. cost of revenues was $49.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $43.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. U.S. cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included (i) $17.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) $749,000 of accretion expense for our asset retirement obligations and restructuring charges for certain leasehold interests recorded in 2004 and 2005 as we accrete the related liabilities to the total estimated future cash payments needed and (iii) $774,000 of stock-based compensation expense. U.S. cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included (i) $16.9 million of depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) $895,000 of accretion expense for our asset retirement obligations and restructuring charges for certain leasehold interests recorded in 2004 and 2005 as we accrete the related liabilities to the total estimated future cash payments needed and (iii) $563,000 of stock-based compensation expense. Our U.S. cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 also included $3.3 million of incremental cash operating costs not incurred in the prior year associated with the recently opened IBX centers in the Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C. metro areas, and the IBX centers under construction in the Chicago, New York, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles metro areas. Excluding depreciation and amortization expense, accretion expense, stock-based compensation expense and the incremental cash costs associated with operating our new IBX centers, U.S. cost of revenues increased period over period to $27.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $21.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an 26% increase. This increase is primarily the result of higher compensation costs and increasing utility costs in line with increasing customer installations and revenues attributed to customer growth. We continue to anticipate that our cost of revenues will increase in the foreseeable future to the extent that the occupancy levels in our U.S. IBX centers increase and as newly-opened IBX centers in the Silicon Valley, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. metro areas commence operations more fully in 2007. However, a portion of our expected increase in U.S. cost of

revenues will be partially offset by a reduction in rent expense as a result of our Silicon Valley property acquisition. We expect that this savings in rent expense will be approximately $2.0 million annually; however, part of the rent savings will be offset by increases in depreciation and property tax expense.

Asia-Pacific Cost of Revenues. Asia-Pacific cost of revenues was $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Asia-Pacific cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 included $2.5 million and $923,000, respectively, of depreciation and amortization expense. Our Asia-Pacific cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 also included $1.2 million of incremental cash operating costs not incurred in the prior year associated with our new IBX center in Tokyo and our Singapore IBX expansion project. Excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and the incremental cash costs associated with operating our new IBX centers in the Tokyo and Singapore metro areas, Asia-Pacific cost of revenues increased period over period to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a 17% increase. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in compensation, repair and maintenance, and increasing utility and bandwidth costs in line with increasing customer installations and revenues attributed to customer growth, as well as service offerings that are more labor intensive than the U.S. We anticipate that our Asia-Pacific cost of revenues will increase in the foreseeable future in connection with overall revenue growth and our expansions in the Tokyo and Singapore metro areas.

Europe Cost of Revenues. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition that closed on September 14, 2004, we incurred additional cost of revenues of $4.0 million from our Europe operations during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Europe cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included $1.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

U.S. Sales and Marketing Expenses. U.S. sales and marketing expenses increased to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Included in U.S. sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Excluding stock-based compensation expense, U.S. sales and marketing expenses increased to $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a 10% increase. This increase is primarily attributable to increased sales compensation as a result of revenue growth. Going forward, we expect to see U.S. sales and marketing spending to increase nominally in absolute dollars as we continue to grow our business.

Asia-Pacific Sales and Marketing Expenses. Asia-Pacific sales and marketing expenses increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a 46% increase. This increase was primarily due to general salary increases and sales compensation over the prior period associated with the overall growth in this region. We expect that our Asia-Pacific sales and marketing expenses will experience some growth in the foreseeable future as we continue to grow our business.

Europe Sales and Marketing Expenses. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition that closed on September 14, 2004, we incurred additional sales and marketing expenses of $698,000 from our Europe operations during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Included in Europe sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $299,000 of intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased to $25.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

U.S. General and Administrative Expenses. U.S. general and administrative expenses increased to $20.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Included in U.S. general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $6.1 million of stock-based compensation expense and $1.9 million of depreciation expense. Included in U.S. general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $4.0 million of stock-based compensation expense and $780,000 of depreciation expense. Excluding stock-based compensation expense and depreciation expense, U.S. general and administrative expenses increased to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a 7% increase. This increase is primarily due to higher compensation costs, including general salary increases, benefits and headcount growth (218 U.S. general and administrative employees as of September 30, 2007 versus 168 as of September 30, 2006), partially offset by a decrease in professional services. Going forward, we expect U.S. general and administrative spending to increase as we continue to scale our operations to support our growth.

Asia-Pacific General and Administrative Expenses. Asia-Pacific general and administrative expenses increased to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Included in Asia-Pacific general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.1 million and $583,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation expense, Asia-Pacific general and administrative expenses increased to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a 32% increase. This increase is primarily due to higher compensation costs, including general salary increases, benefits and headcount growth (92 Asia-Pacific general and administrative employees as of September 30, 2007 versus 85 as of September 30, 2006). Our Asia-Pacific headquarter office is located in Singapore. We expect that our Asia-Pacific general and administrative expenses will experience some moderate growth in the foreseeable future.

Europe General and Administrative Expenses. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition that closed on September 14, 2004, we incurred additional general and administrative expenses of $1.3 million from our Europe operations during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Included in Europe general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $358,000 of stock-based compensation and depreciation expense.

Interest Income. Interest income increased to $3.3 million from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher invested balances and higher yields on cash and cash equivalent balances held in interest-bearing accounts. The average yield for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 5.22% versus 4.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. We expect our interest income to decrease for the foreseeable future due to the utilization of our cash to finance our expansion activities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $5.7 million from $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to new financings entered into during 2006 and 2007: (i) an additional financing of $40.0 million under the Ashburn campus mortgage payable during the three months ended December 31, 2006, which bears interest at 8.0% per annum, (ii) our $110.0 million Chicago IBX financing, which is drawn down during the construction period of the Chicago metro area IBX expansion project, of which $93.7 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2007 with an effective interest rate of 8.375% per annum, (iii) our $250.0 million 2.50% convertible subordinated notes offering in March 2007, (iv) our approximately $40.0 million Asia-Pacific financing, of which approximately $25.0 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2007 with a blended effective interest rate of 3.65% per annum, (v) our $396.0 million 3.00% convertible subordinated notes offering in September 2007 and (vi) our approximately $166.1 million European financing, of which $66.0 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2007 with a blended effective interest rate of 7.65% per annum. This increase was partially offset by the $54.0 million partial conversion of our 2.50% convertible subordinated debentures in March 2007 that resulted in a decrease in interest expense. Although we now have higher debt balances, we are also capitalizing more interest in connection with various construction projects related to our IBX expansion efforts. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we capitalized $3.0 million and $354,000, respectively, of interest expense to construction in progress. Going forward, we expect to incur higher interest expense as we fully utilize or recognize the full impact of our existing financings to fund our expansion efforts and as we complete expansion efforts and cease to capitalize interest expense.

Other Income (Expense). Other income increased to $3.2 million from $53,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to foreign currency exchange gains including a foreign exchange gain of $1.5 million as a result of hedging a portion of the IXEurope acquisition purchase price with forward contracts and a $621,000 foreign exchange gain related to the substantial liquidation of a dormant subsidiary of ours in the Netherlands. As a result, this historical foreign exchange gain of $621,000 accumulated within other comprehensive income associated with this dormant subsidiary was recognized in our results of operations.

Loss on Debt Conversion and Extinguishment. In September 2007, the senior bridge loan was terminated unused and, as a result, during the three months ended September 2007, we recorded a $2.5 million loss on debt extinguishment reflecting the immediate write-off of debt issuance costs previously capitalized to secure the senior bridge loan. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we did not record any loss on conversion and extinguishment of debt in our statement of operations.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $215,000 and $270,000, respectively, of income tax expense. The tax provision recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to our foreign operations. The tax provision recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily attributable to federal alternative minimum tax and foreign jurisdictions. A full valuation allowance is recorded against our net deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions other than Singapore and Switzerland as management cannot conclude, based on available objective evidence including recurring historical losses, that it is more likely than not that the net value of our deferred tax assets will be realized. We have not incurred any significant income tax expense since inception and we do not expect to incur any significant income tax expense during 2007 other than foreign income and domestic alternative minimum tax.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Revenues. Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were split between the following revenue classifications (dollars in thousands):


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2007		%		2006		%
Recurring revenues	$	268,078	95	%	$	196,759	95	%
Non-recurring revenues		12,650	5	%		10,384	5	%

Total revenues	$	280,728	100	%	$	207,143	100	%

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were geographically comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2007		%		2006		%
U.S. revenues	$	234,461	84	%	$	178,394	86	%
Asia-Pacific revenues		40,813	14	%		28,749	14	%
Europe revenues		5,454	2	%		—	0	%

Total revenues	$	280,728	100	%	$	207,143	100	%

We recognized revenues of $280.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to revenues of $207.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 36% increase. We analyze our business geographically between the U.S., Asia-Pacific and Europe as further discussed below.

U.S. Revenues. We recognized U.S. revenues of $234.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $178.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 31% increase. U.S. revenues consisted of recurring revenues of $225.4 million and $169.8 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, a 33% increase. The period over period growth in recurring revenues was primarily the result of an increase in orders from both our existing customers and new customers acquired during the period as reflected in the growth in our customer count and utilization rate, as discussed above, in both our new and existing IBX centers, as well as selective price increases in each of our IBX markets. Most notably, we recorded $24.5 million of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from our newly opened IBX centers in the Chicago, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C. metro areas. In addition, we recorded a net adjustment of $775,000 to our U.S. recurring revenues as a result of correcting billing errors attributable to prior periods, the net impact of which increased our U.S. recurring revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We concluded that the cumulative credit to recurring revenues, totaling $775,000, was not material to any previously-reported historical period and expected results of operations for the current fiscal year. As such, this cumulative credit was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and is included in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We expect our U.S. recurring revenues, particularly colocation and interconnection services, to continue to remain our most significant source of revenue for the foreseeable future.

In addition, U.S. revenues consisted of non-recurring revenues of $9.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. U.S. non-recurring revenues increased 5% period over period, primarily due to strong existing and new customer growth during the year.

Asia-Pacific Revenues. We recognized Asia-Pacific revenues of $40.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 42% increase. Asia-Pacific revenues consisted of recurring revenues of $37.5 million and $27.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, consisting primarily of colocation and managed infrastructure services. In addition, Asia-Pacific revenues consisted of non-recurring revenues of $3.3 and $1.8 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Asia-Pacific revenues are generated from Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo, with Singapore representing approximately 35% and 40%, respectively, of the regional revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The overall growth in our Asia-Pacific revenues is primarily the result of an increase in the customer base in this region during the past year, particularly in Hong Kong, Sydney and Tokyo. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded $1.2 million of revenues from our new IBX center in Tokyo, which we acquired in December 2006, and our Singapore IBX expansion. We expect our Asia-Pacific revenues to continue to grow.

Europe Revenues. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition that closed on September 14, 2004, we recognized revenues of $5.5 million in Europe during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues were $171.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $138.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 24% increase.

U.S. Cost of Revenues. U.S. cost of revenues was $143.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $121.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. U.S. cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included (i) $53.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) $2.4 million of accretion expense for our asset retirement obligations and restructuring charges for certain leasehold interests recorded in 2004 and 2005 as we accrete the related liabilities to the total estimated future cash payments needed and (iii) $2.6 million of stock-based compensation expense. U.S. cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included (i) $48.3 million of depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) $2.8 million of accretion expense for our asset retirement obligations and restructuring charges for certain leasehold interests recorded in 2004 and 2005 as we accrete the related liabilities to the total estimated future cash payments needed and (iii) $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense. Our U.S. cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 also included $10.5 million of incremental cash operating costs not incurred in the prior year associated with the recently opened IBX centers in the Silicon Valley, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. metro areas, and the IBX centers under construction in the Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles metro areas. Excluding depreciation and amortization expense, accretion expense, stock-based compensation expense and the incremental cash costs associated with operating our new IBX centers, U.S. cost of revenues increased period over period to $74.6 million for the

nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $61.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 21% increase. This increase is primarily the result of higher compensation costs and increasing utility costs in line with increasing customer installations and revenues attributed to customer growth. We continue to anticipate that our cost of revenues will increase in the foreseeable future to the extent that the occupancy levels in our U.S. IBX centers increase and as newly-opened IBX centers in the Silicon Valley, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. metro areas commence operations more fully in 2007. However, a portion of our expected increase in U.S. cost of revenues will be partially offset by a reduction in rent expense as a result of our Silicon Valley property acquisition. We expect that this savings in rent expense will be approximately $2.0 million annually; however, part of the rent savings will be offset by increases in depreciation and property tax expense.

Asia-Pacific Cost of Revenues. Asia-Pacific cost of revenues was $24.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Asia-Pacific cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 included $5.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of depreciation and amortization expense. Our Asia-Pacific cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 also included $2.6 million of incremental cash operating costs not incurred in the prior year associated with our new IBX centers in the Tokyo and Singapore metro areas. Excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and the incremental cash costs associated with operating our new Tokyo IBX center and our Singapore IBX expansion project, Asia-Pacific cost of revenues increased period over period to $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 14% increase. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in compensation, repair and maintenance, and increasing utility and bandwidth costs in line with increasing customer installations and revenues attributed to customer growth. We anticipate that our Asia-Pacific cost of revenues will increase in the foreseeable future in connection with overall revenue growth and our expansions in the Tokyo and Singapore metro areas.

Europe Cost of Revenues. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition that closed on September 14, 2004, we incurred additional cost of revenues of $4.0 million from our Europe operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Europe cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $1.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $27.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

U.S. Sales and Marketing Expenses. U.S. sales and marketing expenses increased to $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Included in U.S. sales and marketing expenses was $5.9 million and $5.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Excluding stock-based compensation expense, U.S. sales and marketing expenses increased to $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 12% increase. This increase is primarily attributable to increased sales compensation as a result of revenue growth. Going forward, we expect to see U.S. sales and marketing spending to increase nominally in absolute dollars as we continue to grow our business.

Asia-Pacific Sales and Marketing Expenses. Asia-Pacific sales and marketing expenses increased to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 43% increase. This increase was primarily due to general salary increases and sales compensation of approximately $1.0 million over the prior period associated with the overall growth in this region. We expect that our Asia-Pacific sales and marketing expenses will experience some growth in the foreseeable future as we continue to grow our business.

Europe Sales and Marketing Expenses. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition that closed on September 14, 2004, we incurred additional sales and marketing expenses of $698,000 from our Europe operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Included in Europe sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $299,000 of intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased to $72.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $53.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

U.S. General and Administrative Expenses. U.S. general and administrative expenses increased to $60.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $44.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Included in U.S. general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $18.3 million of stock-based compensation expense and $4.7 million of depreciation expense. Included in U.S. general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $13.7 million of stock-based compensation expense and $1.8 million of depreciation expense. Excluding stock-based compensation expense and depreciation expense, U.S. general and administrative expenses increased to $37.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $29.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 27% increase. This increase is primarily due to approximately $5.4 million of higher compensation costs, including general salary increases, benefits and headcount growth (218 U.S. general and administrative employees as of September 30, 2007 versus 168 as of September 30, 2006), $1.4 million as a result of a negotiated tax filing agreement with a former employee and an increase in professional fees of approximately $770,000 due primarily to an increase in various consulting projects in connection with our growth strategies. Going forward, we expect U.S. general and administrative spending to increase as we continue to scale our operations to support our growth.

Asia-Pacific General and Administrative Expenses. Asia-Pacific general and administrative expenses increased to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Included in Asia-Pacific general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation expense, Asia-Pacific general and administrative expenses were $7.2 million and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We expect that our Asia-Pacific general and administrative expenses will experience some moderate growth in the foreseeable future.

Europe General and Administrative Expenses. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition that closed on September 14, 2004, we incurred additional general and administrative expenses of $1.3 million from our Europe operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Included in Europe general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $358,000 of stock-based compensation and depreciation expense.

Restructuring Charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded an increase in a restructuring charge of $407,000 as a result of revised sublease assumptions for our excess space lease in the Los Angeles metro area as a result of new information becoming available. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded an increase in restructuring charges of $1.5 million as a result of revised sublease assumptions on two of our excess space leases in the New York and Los Angeles metro areas as a result of new information becoming available. The original restructuring charge for these leases was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004 and totaled $17.7 million. We are contractually committed to these two excess space leases through 2015.

Interest Income. Interest income increased to $10.3 million from $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher invested balances and higher yields on cash and cash equivalent balances held in interest-bearing accounts. The average yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 5.22% versus 4.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. We expect our interest income to decrease for the foreseeable future due to the utilization of our cash to finance our expansion activities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $15.2 million from $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to new financings entered into during 2006 and 2007: (i) an additional financing of $40.0 million under the Ashburn campus mortgage payable during the three months ended December 31, 2006, which bears interest at 8.0% per annum, (ii) our $110.0 million Chicago IBX financing, which is drawn down during the construction period of the Chicago metro area IBX expansion project, of which $93.7 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2007 with an effective interest rate of 8.375% per annum, (iii) our $250.0

million 2.50% convertible subordinated notes offering in March 2007, (iv) our approximately $40.0 million Asia-Pacific financing, of which approximately $25.0 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2007 with a blended effective interest rate of 3.65% per annum, (v) our $396.0 million 3.00% convertible subordinated notes offering in September 2007 and (vi) our approximately $166.1 million European financing, of which $66.0 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2007 with a blended effective interest rate of 7.65% per annum. This increase was partially offset by the $54.0 million partial conversion of our 2.5% convertible subordinated debentures in March 2007 that resulted in a decrease in interest expense. Although we now have higher debt balances, we are also capitalizing more interest in connection with various construction projects related to our IBX expansion efforts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we capitalized $6.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of interest expense to construction in progress. Going forward, we expect to incur higher interest expense as we fully utilize or recognize the full impact of our existing financings to fund our expansion efforts and as we complete expansion efforts and cease to capitalize interest expense.

Other Income (Expense). For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded $3.2 million of other income, primarily consisting of a foreign exchange gain of $1.5 million as a result of hedging a portion of the IXEurope acquisition purchase price with forward contracts and a $621,000 foreign exchange gain related to the substantial liquidation of a subsidiary of ours in the Netherlands. As a result, this historical foreign exchange gain of $621,000 accumulated within other comprehensive income associated with this dormant subsidiary was recognized in our results of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded $164,000 of other expense, which is primarily attributable to foreign currency losses during the period.

Loss on Conversion and Extinguishment of Debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we retired $54.0 million of our convertible subordinated debentures in exchange for approximately 1.4 million newly issued shares of our common stock. As a result, we recorded a $3.4 million loss on debt conversion in accordance with FASB No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt,” due to the inducement fee. In September 2007, the senior bridge loan was terminated unused and, as a result, we recorded a $2.5 million loss on debt extinguishment reflecting the immediate write-off of debt issuance costs previously capitalized to secure the senior bridge loan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized a total of $5.9 million of loss on debt conversion and extinguishment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we did not record any loss on conversion and extinguishment of debt in our statement of operations.

Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $766,000 and $870,000, respectively, of income tax expense. The tax provision recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to our foreign operations. The tax provision recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily attributable to federal alternative minimum tax and foreign jurisdictions. A full valuation allowance is recorded against our net deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions other than Singapore and Switzerland as management cannot conclude, based on available objective evidence including recurring historical losses, that it is more likely than not that the net value of our deferred tax assets will be realized. We have not incurred any significant income tax expense since inception and we do not expect to incur any significant income tax expense during 2007 other than foreign income and domestic alternative minimum tax.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle. As a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” during the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded a reduction of expense totaling $376,000, which is reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle on our statement of operations for this period. This amount reflects the application of an estimated forfeiture rate to partially vested employee equity awards as of January 1, 2006 that we accounted for under APB 25, which was primarily for restricted stock awards to our executive officers that were granted during the first quarter of 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, no cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle was recorded in our statement of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2007, our total indebtedness was comprised of (i) convertible debt totaling $678.2 million from our convertible subordinated debentures, our 2.50% convertible subordinated notes and our 3.00% convertible subordinated notes as outlined below and (ii) non-convertible debt and financing obligations totaling $380.4 million from our Washington D.C. metro area IBX capital lease, San Jose IBX equipment and fiber financing, Chicago IBX equipment financing, Los Angeles IBX financing, Ashburn campus mortgage payable, Chicago IBX financing, Asia-Pacific financing, European financing and other financing obligations.

We believe we have sufficient cash, coupled with anticipated cash generated from operating activities and anticipated cash from financings, to meet our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2007, we had $436.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments. As of September 30, 2007, we had a total of $191.5 million of additional liquidity available to us in the event we need additional cash to fund expansion activities, fund working capital requirements or pursue attractive strategic opportunities that may become available in the future, which was comprised of (i) $16.3 million under the Chicago IBX financing for the Chicago metro area IBX expansion project, (ii) $60.1 million under the $75.0 million Silicon Valley bank revolving credit line, (iii) $15.0 million under the Asia-Pacific financing for expansion projects in Singapore and Tokyo and (iv) $100.1 million under the European financing for general working capital and expansion projects in Europe. In addition, from time to time we assess external financing opportunities, both debt and equity, as alternative sources for financing such activities and opportunities, including any acquisition plans. While we expect that our cash flow from operations will continue to increase, we expect our cash flow used in investing activities, primarily as a result of our expected purchases of property and equipment to complete our announced expansion projects, will also increase and we expect our cash flow used in investing activities to be greater than our cash flows generated from operating activities. Given our limited operating history, additional potential expansion opportunities that we may decide to pursue and other business risks that may cause our operating results to fluctuate, we may not achieve our desired levels of profitability or cash requirements in the future. For further information, refer to “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q below.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Net cash provided by our operating activities was $106.1 million and $49.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This increase was primarily due to improved operating results; however, this increase was also impacted by favorable net working capital improvements, primarily an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Even with the payment of certain of these accrued expenses in the remainder of 2007, we expect that we will continue to generate cash from our operating activities throughout the remainder of 2007 and beyond.

Net cash used in our investing activities was $951.2 million and $121.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the result of the capital expenditures required to bring our recently announced and current IBX expansion projects to Equinix standards, and to support our growing customer base, the purchase of our San Jose IBX property and an adjacent piece of land in July and August 2007 totaling $71.5 million, the purchase of our Los Angeles IBX property in June 2007 for $49.1 million and the IXEurope acquisition in September 2007 for $541.7 million, partially offset by net maturities and sales of our short-term investments. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily the result of the capital expenditures required to bring our recently acquired IBX centers in the Chicago, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley metro areas to Equinix standards, the Washington, D.C. and the Chicago metro area IBX expansion projects and to support our growing customer base, as well as the net purchases of our short-term and long-term investments and the purchase of our Chicago IBX property in June 2006 for $9.8 million. For the remainder of 2007 and beyond, we anticipate that our cash used in investing activities, excluding the purchases, maturities and sales of short-term and long-term investments, will primarily be for our capital expenditures, which we expect to be substantial, as well as additional purchases of real estate that we may undertake in the future.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 billion and $37.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was primarily the result of $646.0 million in gross proceeds from our convertible debt offerings, $118.8 million in gross proceeds from our loans payable in connection with the Chicago IBX financing and the Asia-Pacific financing, $339.9 million in net proceeds from our common

stock offering and $27.6 million in proceeds from our various employee stock plans, partially offset by debt issuance costs and principal payments for our capital leases and other financing obligations and the Ashburn campus mortgage payable. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was primarily due to $28.8 million in proceeds from our various employee stock plans and $10.0 million in net proceeds from our $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line partially offset by debt issuance costs and principal payments for our capital lease and other financing obligations and the Ashburn campus mortgage payable.

Debt Obligations –Convertible Debt

Convertible Subordinated Debentures. During February 2004, we sold $86.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2024, convertible into 2.2 million shares of our common stock, to qualified institutional buyers. The interest on the convertible subordinated debentures is payable semi-annually every February and August, which commenced August 2004, and is payable in cash. In March 2007, we entered into agreements with certain holders of these convertible subordinated debentures to exchange an aggregate of 1.4 million newly issued shares of our common stock for such holders’ $54.0 million of $86.3 million principal amount of the convertible subordinated debentures. The number of shares of common stock issued equals the amount issuable upon conversion of the convertible subordinated debentures in accordance with their original terms. In addition, each holder received cash consideration equal to accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date totaling $110,000, as well as the present value of future interest due through February 15, 2009 and an incremental fee, totaling $3.4 million as an inducement fee.

Holders of the convertible subordinated debentures that remain outstanding may require us to purchase all or a portion of their debentures on February 15, 2009, February 15, 2014 and February 15, 2019, in each case at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, holders of the convertible subordinated debentures may convert their debentures into shares of our common stock upon certain defined circumstances, including during any calendar quarter if the closing price of our common stock is greater than or equal to 120% of $39.50 per share of our common stock, or approximately $47.40 per share, for twenty consecutive trading days during the period of thirty consecutive trading days ending on the last day of the previous calendar quarter. We may redeem all or a portion of the debentures at any time after February 15, 2009 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

As of September 30, 2007, a total of $32.3 million convertible subordinated debentures remained outstanding and were convertible into 816,457 shares of our common stock.

2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes. In March 2007, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.50% convertible subordinated notes due 2012. The initial conversion rate is 8.9259 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible subordinated notes, subject to adjustment. This represents an initial conversion price of approximately $112.03 per share of common stock or 2.2 million shares of our common stock. Upon conversion, holders will receive, at our election, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. We have used or intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the funding of our expansion activities and working capital requirements.

Holders of the 2.50% convertible subordinated notes may convert their notes upon certain defined circumstances, including during any fiscal quarter (and only during that fiscal quarter) ending after June 30, 2007, if the sale price of our common stock, for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous fiscal quarter, is greater than 130% of the conversion price per share of common stock on such last trading day, presently $145.64 per share. In addition, holders of the 2.50% convertible subordinated notes may convert their individual notes at any time on or after March 15, 2012 regardless of the satisfaction of any conditions.

We may redeem all or a portion of the 2.50% convertible subordinated notes at any time after April 16, 2010 for cash but only if the closing sale price of our common stock for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the day we give notice of redemption is greater than 130% of the applicable conversion price per share of common stock on the date of the notice, presently $145.64 per share. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the convertible subordinated notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Upon conversion, due to the conversion formulas associated with the 2.50% convertible subordinated notes, if our stock is trading at levels exceeding 130% of the conversion price per share of common stock, and if we elect to pay any portion of the consideration in cash, additional consideration beyond the $250.0 million of gross proceeds received would be required. However, in no event would the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the 2.50% convertible subordinated notes exceed 11.6036 per $1,000 principal amount of convertible subordinated notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, or the equivalent of $86.18 per share of common stock or a total of 2.9 million shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2007, the 2.50% convertible subordinated notes were convertible into 2.2 million shares of our common stock.

3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes. In September 2007, we issued $396.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes due October 15, 2014. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2008.

Holders of the 3.00% convertible subordinated notes may convert their notes at their option on any day up to and including the business day immediately preceding the maturity date into shares of our common stock. The base conversion rate is 7.4360 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.00% convertible subordinated notes, subject to adjustment. This represents a base conversion price of approximately $134.48 per share of common stock. If, at the time of conversion, the applicable stock price of our common stock exceeds the base conversion price, the conversion rate will be determined pursuant to a formula resulting in the receipt of up to 4.4616 additional shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.00% convertible subordinated notes, subject to adjustment. However, in no event would the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the 3.00% convertible subordinated notes exceed 11.8976 per $1,000 principal amount of 3.00% convertible subordinated notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, or the equivalent of $84.05 per share of our common stock or a total of 4.7 million shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2007, the 3.00% convertible subordinated notes were convertible into 2.9 million shares of our common stock.

Debt Obligations – Non-Convertible Debt

Chicago IBX Financing. In February 2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary obtained a loan of up to $110.0 million to finance up to 60% of the development and construction costs of the Chicago metro area IBX expansion project, which we refer to as the Chicago IBX financing. Funds are advanced at up to 60% of project costs incurred. As of September 30, 2007, we had received advances representing a loan payable totaling $93.7 million. As a result, up to $16.3 million remained available for borrowing from the Chicago IBX financing and is expected to be borrowed periodically during the remaining construction period of the Chicago metro area IBX expansion project until completion by the end of 2007. The loan payable has a maturity date of January 31, 2010, with options to extend for up to an additional two years, in one-year increments, upon satisfaction of certain extension conditions. The loan payable bears interest at a floating rate (one, three or six month LIBOR plus 2.75%) with interest payable monthly, which commenced March 1, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the loan payable had an effective interest rate of 8.375% per annum. The Chicago IBX financing has no specific financial covenants and contains a limited parent company guaranty. In October 2007, we received additional advances totaling $4.8 million, bringing the cumulative loan payable to date to $98.5 million with a blended interest rate of 7.94% per annum.

Asia-Pacific Financing. In August 2007, our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, located in Singapore and Tokyo, Japan, entered into an approximately $40.0 million multi-currency credit facility agreement. The Asia-Pacific financing has a four-year term that allows these two subsidiaries to borrow up to 23.0 million Singapore dollars and 2.9 billion Japanese yen, respectively, during the first 12-month period with repayment to occur over the remaining three years in 12 equal quarterly installments. Amounts undrawn at the end of the first 12-month period shall be cancelled. The Asia-Pacific financing has a commitment fee of 0.3% on unutilized amounts during the 12-month draw period and bears interest at a floating rate (the relevant three-month local cost of funds for Singapore and Japan), as applicable, plus 1.85%-2.50% depending on the ratio of our senior indebtedness to our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, with interest payable quarterly. The Asia-Pacific financing may be used by these

two subsidiaries to fund capital expenditures on leasehold improvements, equipment, and other installation costs related to expansion plans in Singapore and Tokyo. The Asia-Pacific Financing is guaranteed by us and is secured by the assets of these two subsidiaries and has several financial covenants, with which we must comply quarterly. As of September 30, 2007, we borrowed 18.3 million Singapore dollars at an initial interest rate per annum of 4.66% and 1.5 billion Japanese yen at an initial interest rate per annum of 2.69%. Collectively the amounts borrowed equal $25.0 million leaving $15.0 million available to borrow under the Asia-Pacific financing. As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in connection with the Asia-Pacific financing.

European Financing. In September 2007, as a result of the IXEurope acquisition, our wholly-owned subsidiary acquired a senior facilities agreement totaling 82.0 million British pounds (or approximately $166.1 million as translated using effective exchange rates as of September 30, 2007). The European financing is comprised of three facilities: (i) Facility A, which is available to draw upon through March 2008, provides for a term loan of up to 40.0 million British pounds and bears a floating interest rate per annum of between 0.75% and 2.0% above LIBOR or EURIBOR; (ii) Facility B, which is available to draw upon through June 2010, provides for a term loan of up to 40.0 million British pounds and bears a floating interest rate per annum of between 0.75% and 2.25% above LIBOR or EURIBOR and (iii) Facility C, which is available to draw upon through May 2014, provides for a revolving credit facility of up to 2.0 million British pounds and bears a floating interest rate per annum of between 0.75% and 2.0% above LIBOR or EURIBOR. The European financing has a final maturity date of June 30, 2014 and interest is payable in periods of one, two, three or six months at the choice of the Company. Facility A will be repaid in 13 semi-annual installments commencing June 30, 2008. Facility B will be repaid in nine semi-annual installments commencing June 30, 2010. Facility C will be repaid at the final maturity date. The European financing is available to fund our subsidiary’s current or future operations in Europe, including capital expenditures, for certain pre-approved subsidiaries in Europe. The European financing is collateralized by certain of our assets in Europe and contains several financial covenants with which we must comply quarterly. As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in connection with the European financing. In October 2007, we received additional advances totaling 6.0 million British pounds or approximately $12.3 million, bringing the cumulative loan payable to date to 38.6 million British pounds or approximately $79.2 million with a blended interest rate of 7.62% per annum.

Upon a written request from us at any time after December 31, 2007 and through the final maturity date, and upon approval by the lenders, an additional term loan of up to 15.0 million British pounds (or approximately $30.4 million as translated using effective exchange rates as of September 30, 2007) may be made available to us. The European financing requires us to hedge the floating interest rates inherent in the European financing. As a result, we have two interest rate swaps outstanding in connection with the European financing, which are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No., 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended. As of September 30, 2007, we had borrowed a total of 32.6 million British pounds (or approximately $66.0 million as translated using effective exchange rates as of September 30, 2007) under the European financing at a blended interest rate of 7.65% per annum leaving 49.4 million British pounds (or approximately $100.1 million as translated using effective exchange rates as of September 30, 2007) available to borrow under the European financing.

$75.0 Million Silicon Valley Bank Revolving Credit Line. In March 2007, we amended certain provisions of the Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line which related to certain financial covenants, the addition of a liquidity covenant and the revision of the definition of “Approved Subordinated Debt” in order to allow us to proceed with the convertible subordinated notes offering. The liquidity covenant requires us to maintain total liquidity of at least $75.0 million. The liquidity covenant is defined as the sum of cash, cash equivalents, short term investments, 80% of long term investments and 10% of net accounts receivable. In the event of a default, Silicon Valley Bank has the right to exercise a notice of control to give Silicon Valley Bank the sole right to control, direct or dispose of the assets as it deems necessary to satisfy our obligations under the Silicon Valley Bank Credit Line, if any. In September 2007, we further amended certain provisions of the Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line which related to certain financial covenants and the definition of “Designation of Obligations” to include our 3.00% convertible subordinated notes offering that closed on September 26, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in connection with the $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line. Borrowings under the $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line will continue to bear interest at variable interest rates, plus the applicable margins, which were in effect prior to the amendment, based on either prime rates or LIBOR

rates. The $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line matures on September 15, 2008 and remains secured by substantially all of our domestic personal property assets and certain of our real property leases. As of September 30, 2007, we had a total of $14.9 million of outstanding letters of credit under the letters of credit sublimit of the $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line reducing the amount of borrowings available to us to $60.1 million. These letters of credit automatically renew in successive one-year periods until the final termination. If the beneficiaries of these letters of credit decide to draw down on these letters of credit, we will be required to fund these letters of credit either through cash collateral or borrowings under the $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line. However, no borrowings were outstanding under the $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line. As of September 30, 2007, if we had borrowed against the Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line, our borrowings would have had an effective interest rate of 7.87% per annum.

Senior Bridge Loan. In June 2007, we entered into a senior bridge loan with Citibank, N.A., as lender, and as agent for the lender, for a principal amount of $500.0 million, to finance our IXEurope acquisition. We incurred $2.5 million of debt issuance costs to secure the senior bridge loan. In September 2007, the senior bridge loan was terminated unused and, as a result, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.5 million reflecting the immediate write-off of debt issuance costs previously capitalized.

Debt Maturities, Financings, Leases and Other Contractual Commitments

We lease our IBX centers and certain equipment under non-cancelable lease agreements expiring through 2027. The following represents our debt maturities, financings, leases and other contractual commitments as of September 30, 2007 (in thousands):

(1)	Represents off-balance sheet arrangements. Other contractual commitments are described below.

Primarily as a result of our various IBX expansion projects, as of September 30, 2007, we were contractually committed for $136.5 million of unaccrued capital expenditures, primarily for IBX equipment not yet delivered and labor not yet provided, in connection with the work necessary to open these IBX centers prior to making them available to customers for installation. This amount, which is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2007, is reflected in the table above as “other contractual commitments.”

We have other, non-capital purchase commitments in place as of September 30, 2007, such as commitments to purchase power in select locations, primarily in the U.S., Singapore and the United Kingdom, through 2007 and thereafter and other open purchase orders, which contractually bind us for goods or services to be delivered or provided during the remainder of 2007. Such other purchase commitments as of September 30, 2007, which total $33.6 million, are also reflected in the table above as “other contractual commitments.”

In addition, although we are not contractually obligated to do so, we expect to incur additional capital expenditures beyond the $136.5 million contractually committed as of September 30, 2007 in our various IBX expansion projects during the remainder of 2007 and 2008 of approximately $170.0 million to $200.0 million in order to complete the work needed to open these IBX centers. These non-contractual capital expenditures are not reflected in the table above.

As previously discussed above, in connection with six of our IBX operating leases and one utilities contract, we have entered into seven irrevocable letters of credit totaling $14.9 million with Silicon Valley Bank, provided in lieu of cash deposits under the letters of credit sublimit provision of the $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line. If the beneficiaries of these letters of credit decide to draw down on these letters of credit, we will be required to fund these letters of credit either through cash collateral or borrowings under the Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line. This contingent commitment is not reflected in the table above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

The following discussion about market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We may be exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in the prices of certain commodities, primarily electricity.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. All of our cash equivalents and marketable securities are designated as available-for-sale and are therefore recorded at fair market value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets with the unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income or loss. The fair market value of our marketable securities could be adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, but we do not believe such impact would be material. Securities with longer maturities are subject to a greater interest rate risk than those with shorter maturities and as of September 30, 2007 our portfolio maturity was relatively short. If current interest rates were to increase or decrease by 10% from their position as of September 30, 2007, the fair market value of our investment portfolio could increase or decrease by approximately $383,000.

An immediate 10% increase or decrease in current interest rates from their position as of September 30, 2007 would furthermore not have a material impact on our debt obligations due to the fixed nature of the majority of our debt obligations. However, the interest expense associated with our $75.0 million revolving credit line, which bears interest at floating rates based on either the prime rate or LIBOR, could be affected. Accordingly, any borrowings from our $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line are subject to interest rate risk. Assuming $75.0 million was outstanding under the $75.0 million Silicon Valley Bank revolving credit line, for every 100 basis point change in interest rates, our interest expense could increase or decrease by $750,000. The interest expense associated with our Chicago IBX financing, Asia-Pacific financing and European financing, which bear interest at floating rates tied to local cost of funds or LIBOR/EURIBOR, could also be affected.

The fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. These interest rate changes may affect the fair market value of the fixed interest rate debt but do not impact our earnings or cash flows. The fair market value of our convertible subordinated debentures and convertible subordinated notes is based on quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of our convertible subordinated debentures at September 30, 2007 was approximately $75.1 million. The estimated fair value of our 2.50% convertible subordinated notes at September 30, 2007 was approximately $256.6 million. The estimated fair value of our 3.00% convertible subordinated notes at September 30, 2007 was approximately $402.5 million.

We acquired interest rate swaps in connection with the European financing. Interest incurred for the European financing is based on variable LIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates and exposes us to interest rate risk. To mitigate the interest rate exposure, IXEurope had entered into two interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of the European financing in order to transfer floating rate exposure to the counterparty in exchange for fixed payments by us. Upon the date of the IXEurope acquisition and through September 30, 2007, these interest rate swaps were considered not to be effective hedges under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. As a result, the change in fair value of these two interest rate swaps totaling a gain of $24,000 was recorded as a reduction of interest expense in our statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

We may enter into additional hedging agreements in the future to mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

The majority of our revenues and costs is denominated in U.S. dollars, generated mostly from customers and vendors in the U.S. Prior to the IXEurope acquisition, approximately 15% of our revenues and 14% of our costs were outside the U.S., and a large portion of those revenues and costs were denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Singapore dollar, Japanese yen, Hong Kong and Australian dollars. As a result of the IXEurope acquisition, a greater percentage of our business will be outside of the U.S. in the additional non-U.S. currencies of the British pound, Euro and Swiss franc. We anticipate that commencing in the fourth quarter of 2007, approximately 30-40% of our revenues and costs will be generated and incurred outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, our operating results and cash flows are impacted by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.

Furthermore, to the extent that our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our services less competitive in the international markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations, and when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, there can be no assurance that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial results in the future.

In July and August 2007, we entered into forward contracts to purchase 265.2 million British pounds at an average forward rate of 2.020007, or the equivalent of $535.6 million, for purposes of hedging a portion of the purchase price of the IXEurope acquisition. Upon cash payment in September 2007, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of $1.5 million, which is reflected within other income (expense) on our statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

We may enter into additional hedging agreements in the future to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency risk.

Commodity Price Risk

Certain operating costs incurred by us are subject to price fluctuations caused by the volatility of underlying commodity prices. The commodities most likely to have an impact on our results of operations in the event of price changes are electricity and supplies and equipment used in our IBX centers. We are closely monitoring the cost of electricity at all of our locations.

In addition, as we are now building new, “greenfield” IBX centers, we are subject to commodity price risk for building materials related to the construction of these IBX centers, such as steel and copper. In addition, the lead-time to procure certain pieces of equipment is substantial, such as generators. Any delays in procuring the necessary pieces of equipment for the construction of our IBX centers could delay the anticipated openings of these new IBX centers and, as a result, increase the cost of these projects.

We currently do not employ forward contracts or other financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Following the completion of the IXEurope acquisition on September 14, 2007, we have begun the process of integrating IXEurope and incorporating our internal control over financial reporting into this acquired business.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

On July 30, 2001 and August 8, 2001, putative shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against us, certain of our officers and directors (the “Individual Defendants”), and several investment banks that were underwriters of our initial public offering (the “Underwriter Defendants”). The cases were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, purportedly on behalf of investors who purchased our 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 and Sections 10(b), Rule 10b-5 and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against us and the Individual Defendants. The plaintiffs have since dismissed the Individual Defendants without prejudice. The suits allege that the Underwriter Defendants agreed to allocate stock in our 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 our initial public offering 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 us, but denied the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claim. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit vacated a decision by the district court granting class certification in six “focus” cases, which are intended to serve as test cases. Plaintiffs selected these six cases, which do not include Equinix. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied a petition for rehearing filed by plaintiffs, but noted that plaintiffs could ask the district court to certify more narrow classes than those that were rejected.

Prior to the Second Circuit’s decision, a majority of issuers, including Equinix, and their insurers had submitted a settlement agreement to the district court for approval. In light of the Second Circuit opinion, the parties agreed that the settlement could not be approved because the defined settlement class, like the litigation class, cannot be certified. On June 25, 2007, the Court approved a stipulation filed by the plaintiffs and the issuers which terminated the proposed settlement. On August 14, 2007, plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in the six focus cases. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining class certification, they are expected to amend the complaint against Equinix in the same manner that they amended the complaints against the focus case issuers and to seek certification of a class in the Equinix case. The amended complaints against the focus case issuers include a number of changes, such as changes to the definition of the purported class of investors, and the elimination of the Individual Defendants as defendants. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. We cannot predict whether we will be able to renegotiate a settlement that complies with the Second Circuit’s mandate, nor can we predict the amount of any such settlement.

While we are unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, we have insurance coverage that we believe is sufficient to cover any reasonably possible liability resulting from this litigation. We and our officers and directors intend to continue to defend the actions vigorously.

On June 29, 2006 and September 18, 2006, shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, naming Equinix as a nominal defendant and several of Equinix’s current and former officers and directors as individual defendants. These actions were consolidated, and the consolidated complaint was filed in January 2007. In March 2007, the state court stayed this action in deference to a federal shareholder derivative action filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in October 2006. The federal action named Equinix as a nominal defendant and several current and former officers and directors as individual defendants. This complaint alleged that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and violated California and federal securities laws as a result of purported backdating of stock options, insider trading and the dissemination of false statements. On April 12, 2007, the federal action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice pursuant to a joint stipulation entered as an order by the court. On May 3, 2007, the state court lifted the stay on proceedings in the state court action and set a briefing schedule permitting us to file a motion to dismiss on the grounds that plaintiffs lack standing to sue on our behalf. We filed our motion to dismiss on June 4, 2007 and appeared for a hearing on the motion on August 6, 2007. The state court granted our motion to dismiss and granted plaintiffs leave to amend their consolidated complaint. On October 1, 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint. The amended consolidated complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and violated California securities law as a result of purported backdating of stock option grants, insider trading and the preparation and approval of inaccurate financial results. Plaintiffs seek to recover, on behalf of Equinix, unspecified monetary damages, corporate governance changes, equitable and injunctive relief, restitution and fees and costs. A motion to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint is pending. In addition to the pending state court derivative action, we may be subject to additional derivative or other lawsuits that may be presented on an individual or class basis alleging claims based on our stock option granting practices.

Responding to, investigating and/or defending against civil litigations and government inquiries regarding our stock option grants and practices will present a substantial cost to us in both cash and the attention of certain management and may have a negative impact on our operations. In addition, in the event of any negative finding or assertion by a court of law or any third-party claim related to our stock option granting practices, we may be liable for damages, fines or other civil or criminal remedies, or be required to restate our prior period financial statements or adjust our current period financial statements. Any such adverse action could have a material adverse effect on our business and current market value.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information contained in this report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business and us:

Risks Related to Our Business

We may not be able to successfully integrate IXEurope and achieve the benefits we expect from the IXEurope acquisition.

We will only achieve the benefits that are expected to result from the IXEurope acquisition if we can successfully integrate its administrative, finance, operations, sales and marketing organizations, and implement appropriate systems and controls.

The success of the IXEurope acquisition and integration into our operations will involve a number of risks, including:

•

the possible diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns, including our previously announced expansion plans in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific regions;

•

the potential inability to successfully pursue some or all of the anticipated revenue opportunities associated with the IXEurope acquisition;

•

the possible loss of IXEurope’s key employees;

•

the potential inability to achieve expected operating efficiencies in IXEurope’s operations;

•

the increased complexity and diversity of our operations after the IXEurope acquisition compared to our prior operations;

•

the impact on our internal controls and compliance with the regulatory requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and

•

unanticipated problems, expenses or liabilities.

If we fail to integrate IXEurope successfully and/or fail to realize the intended benefits of the IXEurope acquisition, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the IXEurope acquisition resulted in a substantial goodwill asset, which will be subject to an annual impairment analysis. If this goodwill were to be impaired in the future, it could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations.

Our substantial debt could adversely affect our cash flows and limit our flexibility to raise additional capital.

We have a significant amount of debt. As of September 30, 2007, our total indebtedness was approximately $1.1 billion and stockholders’ equity was $808.7 million.

Our substantial amount of debt could have important consequences. For example, it could:

•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on our debt, reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund future capital expenditures, working capital, execution of our expansion strategy and other general corporate requirements;

•

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under our various debt instruments;

•

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and adverse changes in governmental regulations;

•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared with our competitors;

•

limit our ability to borrow additional funds, even when necessary to maintain adequate liquidity; and

•

make us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates because of the variable interest rates on some of our borrowings.

The occurrence of any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the performance of our stock price may trigger the write-off of a significant portion of our debt issuance costs in connection with our convertible debt, which may have a material adverse affect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We have incurred substantial losses in the past and may continue to incur additional losses in the future.

Although we have generated cash from operations since the quarter ended September 30, 2003, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we incurred net losses of $6.4 million, $42.6 million and $68.6 million, respectively. Although we have generated some net income in our two most recent quarters, we are also currently investing heavily in our future growth through the build-out of several additional IBX centers and IBX center expansions. As a result, we will incur higher depreciation and other operating expenses that will negatively impact our ability to achieve and sustain profitability unless and until these new IBX centers generate enough revenue to exceed their operating costs and cover our additional overhead needed to scale our business for this anticipated growth. In addition, costs associated with the IXEurope acquisition and the integration of the two companies, as well as the additional interest expense associated with debt financing we have undertaken to fund our growth initiatives, may also negatively impact our ability to achieve and sustain profitability. Although our goal is to achieve profitability, there can be no guarantee that we will become profitable, and we may continue to incur additional losses. Even if we achieve profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

We are continuing to invest in our expansion efforts but may not have sufficient customer demand in the future to realize expected returns on these investments.

We are considering the acquisition or lease of additional properties, including construction of new IBX centers beyond those expansion projects already announced. We will be required to commit substantial operational and financial resources to these IBX centers, generally 12–18 months in advance of securing customer contracts, and we may not have sufficient customer demand in those markets to support these centers once they are built. In addition, unanticipated technological changes could affect customer requirements for data centers and we may not have built such requirements into our new IBX centers. Any of these contingencies, if they were to occur, could make it difficult for us to realize expected or reasonable returns on these investments.

We have begun construction of new IBX centers, and may begin construction of additional new IBX centers, which could involve significant risks to our business.

We believe that most of the pre-existing built-out data centers have already been acquired, and that there are few if any viable distressed assets available for us to acquire in our key markets today. In order to sustain our growth in these markets, we must acquire suitable land with or without structures to build our new IBX centers from the ground up, a “greenfield build.” Greenfield builds are currently underway in the Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and New York metro areas. A greenfield build involves substantial planning and lead-time, much longer time to completion than we have currently experienced in our recent IBX retrofits of existing data centers, and significantly higher costs of construction, equipment and materials, which could have a negative impact on our returns. A greenfield build also requires us to carefully select and rely on the experience of one or several general contractors and associated subcontractors during the construction process. Should a general contractor or significant subcontractor experience

financial or other problems during the construction process, we could experience significant delays, increased costs to complete the project and other negative impacts to our expected returns. Site selection is also a critical factor in our expansion plans, and there may not be suitable properties available in our markets with the necessary combination of high power capacity and fiber connectivity.

While we may prefer to locate new IBX centers adjacent to our existing locations, we may be limited by the inventory and location of suitable properties as well as the need for adequate power and fiber to the site. In the event we decide to build new IBX centers separate from our existing IBX centers, we may provide services to interconnect these two centers. Should these services not provide the necessary reliability to sustain service, this could result in lower interconnection revenue, lower margins and could have a negative impact on customer retention over time.

If we are not able to generate sufficient operating cash flows or obtain external financing, our ability to fund capital expenditures or fulfill our obligations or execute expansion plans may be limited.

Our capital expenditures, together with ongoing operating expenses and obligations to service our debts, will be a substantial drain on our cash flow and may decrease our cash balances. We regularly assess markets for external financing opportunities, including debt and equity. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms. Our inability to obtain needed debt and/or equity financing or to generate sufficient cash from operations may require us to abandon projects or curtail capital expenditures. If we curtail capital expenditures or abandon projects, we could be materially adversely affected.

Any failure of our physical infrastructure or services could lead to significant costs and disruptions that could reduce our revenue and harm our business reputation and financial results.

Our business depends on providing customers with highly reliable service. We must protect our customers’ IBX infrastructure and their equipment located in our IBX centers. We continue to acquire IBX centers not built by us. If these IBX centers and their infrastructure assets are not in the condition we believe them to be in, we may be required to incur substantial additional costs to repair or upgrade the centers. The services we provide in each of our IBX centers are subject to failure resulting from numerous factors, including:

•

human error;

•

physical or electronic security breaches;

•

fire, earthquake, flood, tornados and other natural disasters;

•

extreme temperatures;

•

water damage;

•

fiber cuts;

•

power loss;

•

terrorist acts;

•

sabotage and vandalism; and

•

failure of business partners who provide our resale products.

Problems at one or more of our IBX centers, whether or not within our control, could result in service interruptions or significant equipment damage. For example, in the event of an unusually long period of extreme heat, we may not be able to keep certain of our centers in compliance with our stated cooling objectives or the center’s cooling units could fail under the strain. The extreme temperatures could also lead

to our suppliers experiencing electrical power outages or shortages. We have service level commitment obligations to certain of our customers, including our significant customers. As a result, service interruptions or significant equipment damage in our IBX centers could result in difficulty maintaining service level commitments to these customers and potential claims related to such failures. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded $457,000 in service level credits to various customers, primarily associated with two separate power outages that affected our Chicago and Washington, D.C. metro area IBX centers.

If we incur significant financial commitments to our customers in connection with a loss of power, or our failure to meet other service level commitment obligations, our liability insurance may not be adequate. In addition, any loss of services, equipment damage or inability to meet our service level commitment obligations could reduce the confidence of our customers and could consequently impair our ability to obtain and retain customers, which would adversely affect both our ability to generate revenues and our operating results.

Furthermore, we are dependent upon Internet service providers, telecommunications carriers and other website operators in the U.S., Asia, Europe and elsewhere, some of which have experienced significant system failures and electrical outages in the past. Users of our services may in the future experience difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems and services. If for any reason, these providers fail to provide the required services, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted.

A portion of our managed services business in Singapore involves the processing and storage of confidential customer information. Inappropriate use of those services could jeopardize the security of customers’ confidential information causing losses of data or financially impacting our customers or us and subjecting us to the risk of lawsuits. Efforts to alleviate problems caused by computer viruses or other inappropriate uses or security breaches may lead to interruptions, delays or cessation of our managed services.

There is no known prevention or defense against denial of service attacks. During a prolonged denial of service attack, Internet service may not be available for several hours, thus negatively impacting hosted customers’ on-line business transactions. Affected customers might file claims against us under such circumstances. Our property and liability insurance may not be adequate to cover these customer claims.

We expect our operating results to fluctuate.

We have experienced fluctuations in our results of operations on a quarterly and annual basis. The fluctuations in our operating results may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We expect to experience significant fluctuations in our operating results in the foreseeable future due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

•

financing or other expenses related to the acquisition, purchase or construction of additional IBX centers;

•

mandatory expensing of employee stock-based compensation, including restricted shares and units;

•

financing or other expenses related to the IXEurope acquisition;

•

demand for space, power and services at our IBX centers;

•

changes in general economic conditions and specific market conditions in the telecommunications and Internet industries;

•

costs associated with the write-off or exit of unimproved or underutilized property;

•

the provision of customer discounts and credits;

•

the mix of current and proposed products and services and the gross margins associated with our products and services;

•

the timing required for new and future centers to open or become fully utilized;

•

competition in the markets in which we operate;

•

conditions related to international operations;

•

increasing repair and maintenance expenses in connection with aging IBX centers;

•

lack of available capacity in our existing IBX centers to book new revenue or delays in opening up new or acquired IBX centers may delay our ability to book new revenue in markets which have otherwise reached capacity;

•

the timing and magnitude of other operating expenses, including taxes, capital expenditures and expenses related to the expansion of sales, marketing, operations and acquisitions, if any, of complementary businesses and assets; and

•

the cost and availability of adequate public utilities, including power.

Any of the foregoing factors, or other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Although we have experienced growth in revenues in recent quarters, this growth rate is not necessarily indicative of future operating results. We have generated net losses every fiscal year since inception. It is possible that we may not be able to generate positive net income on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. In addition, a relatively large portion of our expenses are fixed in the short-term, particularly with respect to lease and personnel expenses, depreciation and amortization and interest expenses. Therefore, our results of operations are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in revenues. As such, comparisons to prior reporting periods should not be relied upon as indications of our future performance. In addition, our operating results in one or more future quarters may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, we could experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our stock.

Our inability to use our tax net operating losses will cause us to pay taxes at an earlier date and in greater amounts, which may harm our operating results.

We believe that our ability to use our pre-2003 tax net operating losses, or NOLs, in any taxable year is subject to limitations under Section 382 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, as a result of the significant change in the ownership of our stock that resulted from our combination with i-STT Pte Ltd and Pihana Pacific, Inc. in 2002, which we call the combination. We expect that a significant portion of our NOLs that accrued prior to December 31, 2002 will expire unused as a result of this limitation. In addition to the limitations on NOL carry-forward utilization described above, we believe that Section 382 of the Code will also significantly limit our ability to use the depreciation and amortization on our assets, as well as certain losses on the sale of our assets, to the extent that such depreciation, amortization and losses reflect unrealized depreciation that was inherent in such assets as of the date of the combination. These limitations will cause us to pay taxes at an earlier date and in greater amounts than would occur absent such limitations.

We are exposed to potential risks from legislation requiring companies to evaluate controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Although we received an unqualified opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in the course of our ongoing evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting, we have identified certain areas which we would like to improve and are in the process of evaluating and designing enhanced processes and controls to address these areas identified during our evaluation, none of which we believe constitutes or will constitute a material change. However, we cannot be certain that our efforts will be effective or sufficient for us, or our independent registered public accounting firm, to issue unqualified reports in the future, especially as our business continues to grow and evolve.

It may be difficult to design and implement effective financial controls for combined operations, and differences in existing controls of any acquired businesses, including IXEurope, may result in weaknesses that require remediation when the financial controls and reporting are combined.

Our ability to manage our operations and growth will require us to improve our operational, financial and management controls, as well as our internal reporting systems and controls. We may not be able to implement improvements to our internal reporting systems and controls in an efficient and timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls.

If we cannot effectively manage our international operations and successfully implement our international expansion plans, our revenues may not increase and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we recognized 13%, 13% and 14%, respectively, of our revenues outside North America. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized 16% of our revenues outside North America. We anticipate that the acquisition of IXEurope will increase the percentage of our revenues derived from sources outside North America.

To date, the neutrality of our IBX centers and the variety of networks available to our customers has often been a competitive advantage for us. In certain of our acquired IBX centers, in Singapore in particular, the limited number of carriers available reduces that advantage. As a result, we may need to adapt our key revenue-generating services and pricing to be competitive in that market.

We may experience gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To date, the majority of our revenues and costs have been denominated in U.S. dollars; however, the majority of revenues and costs in our international operations have been denominated in Singapore dollars, Japanese yen and Australia and Hong Kong dollars. With the completion of the IXEurope acquisition, certain of our revenues and costs will also be denominated in the British pound sterling, the euro and the Swiss franc. Although we have in the past and may decide to undertake foreign exchange hedging transactions in the future to reduce foreign currency transaction exposure, we do not currently intend to eliminate all foreign currency transaction exposure. Where our prices are denominated in U.S. dollars, our sales could be adversely affected by declines in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, thereby making our products and services more expensive in local currencies.

We are currently undergoing expansions or evaluating expansion opportunities in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region. Undertaking and managing expansions in foreign jurisdictions may present unanticipated challenges to us. In addition, any expansion requires substantial operational and financial resources, and we may not have sufficient customer demand to support the expansion once complete. Unanticipated technological changes could also affect customer requirements for data centers and we may not have built such requirements into our expanded IBX centers. We are also exposed to risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in connection with our international expansions. To the extent we are paying contractors in foreign currencies, our expansions could cost more than anticipated from declines in the U.S dollar relative to foreign currencies.

Our international operations are generally subject to a number of additional risks, including:

•

the costs of customizing IBX centers for foreign countries;

•

protectionist laws and business practices favoring local competition;

•

greater difficulty or delay in accounts receivable collection;

•

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, including negotiating with foreign labor unions or workers’ councils;

•

political and economic instability;

•

our ability to obtain, transfer, or maintain licenses required by governmental entities with respect to our business; and

•

compliance with evolving governmental regulation with which we have little experience.

The increased use of high power density equipment may limit our ability to fully utilize our IBX centers.

Customers are increasing their use of high-density electrical power equipment, such as blade servers, in our IBX centers which has significantly increased the demand for power on a per cabinet basis. Because most of our centers were built several years ago, the current demand for electrical power may exceed the designed electrical capacity in these centers. As electrical power, not space, is typically the limiting factor in our IBX data centers, our ability to fully utilize those IBX centers may be limited. The availability of sufficient power may also pose a risk to the successful operation of our new IBX centers. The ability to increase the power capacity of an IBX, should we decide to, is dependent on several factors including, but not limited to, the local utility’s ability to provide additional power; the length of time required to provide such power; and/or whether it is feasible to upgrade the electrical infrastructure of an IBX to deliver additional power to customers. Although we are currently designing and building to a much higher power specification, there is a risk that demand will continue to increase and our IBX centers could become obsolete sooner than expected.

We have made, and may continue to make, acquisitions which pose integration and other risks that could harm our business.

We have recently acquired several new IBX centers, and we may seek to acquire additional IBX centers, real estate for development of new IBX centers, or complementary businesses, such as IXEurope, products, services or technologies. As a result of these acquisitions, we may be required to incur additional debt and expenditures and issue additional shares of our common stock to pay for the acquired businesses, products, services or technologies, which may dilute our stockholders’ ownership interest and may delay, or prevent, our profitability. These acquisitions may also expose us to risks such as:

•

the possibility that we may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses or achieve the level of quality in such businesses to which our customers are accustomed;

•

the possibility that additional capital expenditures may be required;

•

the possibility that senior management may be required to spend considerable time negotiating agreements and integrating acquired businesses;

•

the possible loss or reduction in value of acquired businesses;

•

the possibility that our customers may not accept either the existing equipment infrastructure or the “look-and-feel” of a new or different IBX center;

•

the possibility that carriers may find it cost-prohibitive or impractical to bring fiber and networks into a new IBX center;

•

the possibility of pre-existing undisclosed liabilities regarding the property or IBX center, including but not limited to environmental or asbestos liability, of which our insurance may be insufficient or for which we may be unable to secure insurance coverage; and

•

the possibility that the concentration of our IBX centers in the Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and Tokyo, Japan metro areas may increase our exposure to seismic activity, especially if these centers are located on or near fault zones.

We cannot assure you that the price for any future acquisitions will be similar to prior IBX acquisitions. In fact, we expect acquisition costs, including capital expenditures required to build or render new IBX centers operational, to increase in the future. If our revenue does not keep pace with these potential acquisition and expansion costs, we may not be able to maintain our current or expected margins as we absorb these additional expenses. There is no assurance we would successfully overcome these risks or any other problems encountered with these acquisitions.

Our business could be harmed by prolonged electrical power outages or shortages, increased costs of energy or general lack of availability of electrical resources.

Our IBX centers are susceptible to regional costs of power, electrical power shortages, planned or unplanned power outages and limitations, especially internationally, on the availability of adequate power resources.

Power outages, such as those that occurred in California during 2001, the Northeast in 2003, and from the tornados on the U.S. east coast in 2004, could harm our customers and our business. We attempt to limit exposure to system downtime by using backup generators and power supplies; however, we may not be able to limit our exposure entirely even with these protections in place, as was the case with the power outages we experienced in our Chicago and Washington, D.C. metro area IBX centers in 2005.

In addition, global fluctuations in the price of power can increase the cost of energy, and although contractual price increase clauses may exist in some of our customer agreements, we may not be able to pass these increased costs on to our customers.

In each of our markets, we rely on third parties to provide a sufficient amount of power for current and future customers. At the same time, power and cooling requirements are growing on a per unit basis. As a result, some customers are consuming an increasing amount of power per cabinet. We generally do not control the amount of electric power our customers draw from their installed circuits. This means that we could face power limitations in our centers. This could have a negative impact on the effective available capacity of a given center and limit our ability to grow our business, which could have a negative impact on our financial performance, operating results and cash flows.

We may also have difficulty obtaining sufficient power capacity for potential expansion sites in new or existing markets. We may experience significant delays and substantial increased costs demanded by the utilities to provide the level of electrical service required by our current IBX center designs.

We may be forced to take steps, and may be prevented from pursuing certain business opportunities, to ensure compliance with certain tax-related covenants agreed to by us in connection with the combination.

We agreed to a covenant in connection with the combination (which we refer to as the FIRPTA covenant) that we would use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that at all times from and after the closing of the combination none of our capital stock issued to STT Communications would constitute “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code. Under Section 897(c) of the Code, our capital stock issued to STT Communications would generally constitute “United States real property interests” at such point in time that the fair market value of the “United States real property interests” owned by us equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the aggregate fair market values of (a) our “United States real property interests,” (b) our interests in real property located outside the United States and (c) any other assets held by us which are used or held for use in our trade or business. Currently, the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” is significantly below the 50% threshold. However, in order to ensure compliance with the FIRPTA covenant, we may be limited with respect to the business opportunities we may pursue, particularly if the business opportunities would increase the amounts of “United States real property interests” owned by us or decrease the amount of other assets owned by us. In addition, we may take proactive steps to avoid our capital stock being deemed a “United States real property interest,” including, but not limited to, (a) a sale-leaseback transaction with respect to some or all of our real property interests, or (b) the formation of a holding company organized under the laws of the Republic of Singapore which would issue shares of its capital stock in exchange for all of our outstanding stock (which would require the submission of that transaction to our stockholders for their approval and the consummation of that exchange). We will take these actions only if such actions are commercially reasonable for our stockholders and us. We have entered into an agreement with STT Communications and its affiliate pursuant to which we will no longer be bound by the FIRPTA covenant as of September 30, 2009. If we were to breach this covenant, we may be liable for damages to STT Communications.

Increases in property taxes could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our IBX centers are subject to state and local real property taxes in the U.S. and certain of our European jurisdictions. The state and local real property taxes on our IBX centers may increase as property tax rates change and as the value of the properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Many state and local governments are facing budget deficits, which may cause them to increase assessments or taxes. If property taxes increase, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

STT Communications has voting control over a substantial portion of our stock and has influence over matters requiring stockholder consent.

As of September 30, 2007, STT Communications, through its subsidiary, i-STT Investments (Bermuda) Ltd., had voting control over approximately 11.8% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, STT Communications is not prohibited from buying shares of our stock in public or private transactions. As a result, STT Communications is able to exercise significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, which could prevent or delay a third party from acquiring or merging with us.

Our non-U.S. customers include numerous related parties of STT Communications.

We continue to have contractual and other business relationships and may engage in material transactions with affiliates of STT Communications. Circumstances may arise in which the interests of STT Communications’ affiliates may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. In addition, entities affiliated with STT Communications make investments in various companies. They have invested in the past, and may invest in the future, in entities that compete with us. In the context of negotiating commercial arrangements with affiliates, conflicts of interest have arisen in the past and may arise, in this or other contexts, in the future. We cannot assure you that any conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor.

If regulated materials are discovered at centers leased or owned by us, we may be required to remove or clean-up such materials, the cost of which could be substantial.

We are subject to various environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, including those relating to the generation, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. Certain of these laws and regulations also impose joint and several liability, without regard to fault, for investigation and cleanup costs on current and former owners and operators of real property and persons who have disposed of or released hazardous substances into the environment. Our operations involve the use of hazardous substances and materials such as petroleum fuel for emergency generators, as well as batteries, cleaning solutions and other materials. In addition, we lease, own or operate real property at which hazardous substances and regulated materials have been used in the past. At some of our locations, hazardous substances or regulated materials are known to be present in soil or groundwater and there may be additional unknown hazardous substances or regulated materials present at sites we own, operate or lease. At some of our locations, there are land use restrictions in place relating to earlier environmental cleanups that do not materially limit our use of the sites. To the extent any hazardous substances or any other substance or material must be cleaned up or removed from our property, we may be responsible under applicable laws, regulations or leases for the removal or cleanup of such substances or materials, the cost of which could be substantial. In addition, noncompliance with existing, or adoption of more stringent, environmental or health and safety laws and regulations or the discovery of previously unknown contamination could require us to incur costs or become the basis of new or increased liabilities that could be material.

We depend on a number of third parties to provide Internet connectivity to our IBX centers; if connectivity is interrupted or terminated, our operating results and cash flow could be materially adversely affected.

The presence of diverse telecommunications carriers’ fiber networks in our IBX centers is critical to our ability to retain and attract new customers. We are not a telecommunications carrier, and as such we rely on third parties to provide our customers with carrier services. We believe that the availability of carrier capacity will directly affect our ability to achieve our projected results. We rely primarily on revenue

opportunities from the telecommunications carriers’ customers to encourage them to invest the capital and operating resources required to connect from their centers to our IBX centers. Carriers will likely evaluate the revenue opportunity of an IBX center based on the assumption that the environment will be highly competitive. We cannot assure you that any carrier will elect to offer its services within our IBX centers or that once a carrier has decided to provide Internet connectivity to our IBX centers that it will continue to do so for any period of time. Further, many carriers are experiencing business difficulties or announcing consolidations. As a result, some carriers may be forced to downsize or terminate connectivity within our IBX centers, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Our new IBX centers require construction and operation of a sophisticated redundant fiber network. The construction required to connect multiple carrier facilities to our IBX centers is complex and involves factors outside of our control, including regulatory processes and the availability of construction resources. If the establishment of highly diverse Internet connectivity to our IBX centers does not occur, is materially delayed or is discontinued, or is subject to failure, our operating results and cash flow will be adversely affected. Any hardware or fiber failures on this network may result in significant loss of connectivity to our new IBX expansion centers. This could affect our ability to attract new customers to these IBX centers or retain existing customers.

Our networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized persons accessing our systems, which could disrupt our operations and result in the theft of our proprietary information.

A party who is able to breach the security measures on our networks could misappropriate either our proprietary information or the personal information of our customers, or cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against such threats or to alleviate problems caused by breaches in security, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and operating results.

A small number of customers, including IBM, account for a significant portion of our revenues, and the loss of any of these customers could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

While no single customer accounted for 10% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 or the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our top ten customers accounted for 25% and 24%, respectively, of our revenues during these periods. As of September 30, 2007, we had 1,453 customers, excluding the impact of IXEurope acquisition. Notwithstanding our acquisition of IXEurope and the integration of its customer base with ours, we expect that a small percentage of our customers will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. We cannot guarantee that we will retain these customers or that they will maintain their commitments in our IBX centers at current levels. For example, although the term of our contract with IBM, our single largest customer, runs through 2011, IBM currently has the right to reduce its commitment to us pursuant to the terms and requirements of its customer agreement. If we lose any of these key customers, or if any of them decide to reduce the level of their commitment to us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We resell products and services of third parties that may require us to pay for such products and services even if our customers fail to pay us for the products and services, which may have a negative impact on our operating results.

In order to provide resale services such as bandwidth, managed services and other network management services, we contract with third party service providers. These services require us to enter into fixed term contracts for services with third party suppliers of products and services. If we experience the loss of a customer who has purchased a resale product, we will remain obligated to continue to pay our suppliers for the term of the underlying contracts. The payment of these obligations without a corresponding payment from customers will reduce our financial resources and may have a material adverse effect on our operating and financial results and cash flows.

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

Our IBX centers and other products and services must be able to differentiate themselves from those of other providers of space and services for telecommunications companies, web-hosting companies and other colocation providers. In addition to competing with neutral colocation providers, we must compete with

traditional colocation providers, including local phone companies, long distance phone companies, Internet service providers and web-hosting facilities. Similarly, with respect to our other products and services, including managed services, bandwidth services and security services, we must compete with more established providers of similar services. Most of these companies have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us.

Because of their greater financial resources, some of our competitors have the ability to adopt aggressive pricing policies, especially if they have been able to restructure their debt or other obligations. As a result, in the future, we may suffer from pricing pressure that would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, these competitors could offer colocation on neutral terms, and may start doing so in the same metropolitan areas in which we have IBX centers. Some of these competitors may also provide our target customers with additional benefits, including bundled communication services, and may do so in a manner that is more attractive to our potential customers than obtaining space in our IBX centers. If these competitors were able to adopt aggressive pricing policies together with offering colocation space, our ability to generate revenues would be materially adversely affected.

We may also face competition from persons seeking to replicate our IBX concept by building new centers or converting existing centers that some of our competitors are in the process of divesting. We may continue to see increased competition for data center space and customers from large REITS who also operate in our market. We may experience competition from our landlords, some of which are REITS, in this regard. Rather than leasing available space in our buildings to large single tenants, they may decide to convert the space instead to smaller square foot units designed for multi-tenant colocation use. Landlords/REITS may enjoy a cost effective advantage in providing services similar to those provided by our IBXs, and in addition to the risk of losing customers to these parties this could also reduce the amount of space available to us for expansion in the future. Competitors may operate more successfully or form alliances to acquire significant market share. Furthermore, enterprises that have already invested substantial resources in outsourcing arrangements may be reluctant or slow to replace, limit or compete with their existing systems by becoming a customer. Customers may also decide it is cost effective for them to build out their own data centers which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. In addition, other companies may be able to attract the same potential customers that we are targeting. Once customers are located in competitors’ facilities, it may be extremely difficult to convince them to relocate to our IBX centers.

Because we depend on the retention of key employees, failure to maintain competitive compensation packages, including equity incentives, may be disruptive to our business.

Our success in retaining key employees and discouraging them from moving to a competitor is an important factor in our ability to remain competitive. As is common in our industry, our employees are typically compensated through grants of equity awards in addition to their regular salaries. In addition to granting equity awards to selected new hires, we periodically grant new equity awards to certain employees as an incentive to remain with us. To the extent we are unable to offer competitive compensation packages to our employees and adequately maintain equity incentives due to equity expensing or otherwise, and should employees decide to leave us, this may be disruptive to our business and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because we depend on the development and growth of a balanced customer base, failure to attract and retain this base of customers could harm our business and operating results.

Our ability to maximize revenues depends on our ability to develop and grow a balanced customer base, consisting of a variety of companies, including network service providers, site and performance management companies, and enterprise and content companies. The more balanced the customer base within each IBX center, the better we will be able to generate significant interconnection revenues, which in turn increases our overall revenues. Our ability to attract customers to our IBX centers will depend on a variety of factors, including the presence of multiple carriers, the mix of products and services offered by us, the overall mix of customers, the IBX center’s operating reliability and security and our ability to effectively market our services. In addition, some of our customers are, and are likely to continue to be, Internet companies that face many competitive pressures and that may not ultimately be successful. If these customers do not succeed, they will not continue to use the IBX centers. This may be disruptive to our business and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our products and services have a long sales cycle that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A customer’s decision to license cabinet space in one of our IBX centers and to purchase additional services typically involves a significant commitment of resources. In addition, some customers will be reluctant to commit to locating in our IBX centers until they are confident that the IBX center has adequate carrier connections. As a result, we have a long sales cycle. Furthermore, we may expend significant time and resources in pursuing a particular sale or customer that does not result in revenue. Delays due to the length of our sales cycle may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The failure to obtain favorable terms when we renew our IBX center leases could harm our business and results of operations.

While we own certain of our IBX centers, others are leased under long-term arrangements with lease terms expiring at various dates ranging from 2010 to 2027. These leased centers have all been subject to significant development by us in order to convert them from, in most cases, vacant buildings or warehouses into IBX centers. All of our IBX center leases have renewal options available to us. However, these renewal options provide for rent set at then-prevailing market rates. To the extent that then-prevailing market rates are higher than present rates, these higher costs may adversely impact our business and results of operations.

If the market price of our stock continues to be highly volatile, the value of an investment in our common stock may decline.

Since January 1, 2006, the closing sale price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market ranged from $41.43 to $116.66 per share. The market price of the shares of our common stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile. Actual sales, or the market’s perception with respect to possible sales, of a substantial number of shares of our common stock within a narrow period of time could cause our stock price to fall. Announcements by others or us may also have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. These announcements may include:

•

our operating results;

•

new issuances of equity, debt or convertible debt;

•

developments in our relationships with corporate customers;

•

announcements by our customers or competitors;

•

changes in regulatory policy or interpretation;

•

governmental investigations;

•

changes in the ratings of our stock by securities analysts;

•

purchase or development of real estate and/or additional IBX centers;

•

acquisitions of complementary businesses;

•

announcements with respect to the operational performance of our IBX centers;

•

market conditions for telecommunications stocks in general; and

•

general economic and market conditions.

The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for emerging telecommunications companies, and which have often been unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We are subject to securities class action and derivative litigation, which may harm our business and results of operations.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, putative shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against us, a number of our officers and directors, and several investment banks that were underwriters of our initial public offering. Similar complaints were filed against more than 300 other issuers, their officers and directors, and investment banks. The suits allege that the underwriter defendants agreed to allocate stock in our 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. Plaintiffs allege that the prospectus for our initial public offering was false and misleading and in violation of the securities laws because it did not disclose these arrangements. A previously agreed upon settlement with the plaintiffs has been terminated. On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in six cases selected as test, or “focus,” cases and moved for class certification on September 27, 2007. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining class certification in the “focus” cases, they will also likely file an amended complaint against us. We are continuing to participate in the defense of this litigation, which may increase our expenses and divert management’s attention and resources. In addition, we may, in the future, be subject to other securities class action or similar litigation.

Risks Related to Our Industry

If the use of the Internet and electronic business does not grow, our revenues may not grow.

Acceptance and use of the Internet may not continue to develop at historical rates and a sufficiently broad base of consumers may not adopt or continue to use the Internet and other online services as a medium of commerce. Demand for Internet services and products are subject to a high level of uncertainty and are subject to significant pricing pressure, especially in Asia-Pacific. As a result, we cannot be certain that a viable market for our IBX centers will materialize. If the market for our IBX centers grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, our revenues may not grow and our operating results could suffer.

Government regulation may adversely affect the use of the Internet and our business.

Various laws and governmental regulations governing Internet related services, related communications services and information technologies and electronic commerce remain largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. This is true both in the U.S. and the various foreign countries in which we operate. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel, telecommunications services and taxation, apply to the Internet and to related services such as ours. We have limited experience with such international regulatory issues and substantial resources may be required to comply with regulations or bring any non-compliant business practices into compliance with such regulations. In addition, the development of the market for online commerce and the displacement of traditional telephony service by the Internet and related communications services may prompt an increased call for more stringent consumer protection laws or other regulation both in the U.S. and abroad that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online and their service providers. The compliance with, adoption or modification of, laws or regulations relating to the Internet, or interpretations of existing laws, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Industry consolidation may have a negative impact on our business model.

The telecommunications industry is currently undergoing consolidation. As customers combine businesses, they may require less colocation space, and there may be fewer networks available to choose from. Given the competitive and evolving nature of this industry, further consolidation of our customers and/or our competitors may present a risk to our network neutral business model and have a negative impact on our revenues. In addition, increased utilization levels industry-wide could lead to a reduced amount of attractive expansion opportunities available to us.

Terrorist activity throughout the world and military action to counter terrorism could adversely impact our business.

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S., the ensuing declaration of war on terrorism and the continued threat of terrorist activity and other acts of war or hostility appear to be having an adverse effect on business, financial and general economic conditions internationally. These effects may, in turn, increase our costs due to the need to provide enhanced security, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. These circumstances may also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers, our ability to raise capital and the operation and maintenance of our IBX centers. We may not have adequate property and liability insurance to cover catastrophic events or attacks.
