Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

     (a1 and 3) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

     On June 24, 2005, PlanetOut Inc. (“PlanetOut” or the “Company”) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP effective as its independent auditor. PlanetOut’s decision to change accounting firms was approved by the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors.

     PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s reports on PlanetOut’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     During PlanetOut’s two most recent fiscal years and through June 24, 2005: (i) there were no disagreements between PlanetOut and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; and (ii) there were no “reportable events”, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

     PlanetOut has provided PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and has requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter, dated June 29, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto.

(a2) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

     On June 30, 2005, the Company engaged the registered public accounting firm of Stonefield Josephson, Inc. as its new independent auditor. PlanetOut has not consulted with Stonefield Josephson, Inc. during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim reporting period prior to June 30, 2005, regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that Stonefield Josephson, Inc. might render on PlanetOut’s financial statements.
