THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET Opportunity for Quickflix in a less competitive marketplace than U.S. On Netflix penetration levels today,

Quickflix would represent 24% of households or 2 million customers.

Online DVD rental growing rapidly with streaming the next catalyst for growth.

Australian market is less competitive than U.S- low penetration of PayTV; no Amazon, Netflix or Hulu. No Blockbuster online service.

PayTV (Foxtel/Austar) has only 30% penetration, no growth and high ARPS.

Video store closures accelerating/ audiences fragmenting from free to air.

HOME VIDEO RENTAL MARKET PwC estimate that the

overall home video rental market will decline at a CAGR of 1.1% to 2016

The significant decline in in-store rental (-9.5% CAGR) is offset by the growth in online DVD rental and digital downloads (+32.9% CAGR)

DVD sales have declined over the past 5 years over twice as faster a rate than the decline in rentals (source: AHEDA)

DVD SALES AND VOLUMES PwC estimate that the

DVD sell through market was worth $1.1bn in 2011

They estimate that total sell through spending will decline at a CAGR of 11.1% to 2016

No direct Netflix-like competitors in Australia Quickflix competitors - some are constrained by technology or

legacy business; others are not prioritizing Australia due to market size.
