Exhibit 99.4
PRO FORMA EFFECT ON LORAL OF THE COMBINATION OF LORAL SKYNET
AND TELESAT CANADA
     Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 give effect to Loral Space & Communications Inc.’s (“Loral”) contribution of substantially all of Loral Skynet Corporation’s (“Loral Skynet”) assets to Telesat Holdings, a new company formed by Loral and its Canadian partner in these transactions, the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (“PSP”), to acquire 100% of the shares of Telesat Canada and certain other assets. The unaudited pro forma information also gives effect to the cash payments Loral will be required to make in connection with the redemption of Loral Skynet’s 12% non-convertible preferred stock and certain other payments associated with the transaction. Loral will account for its investment in Telesat Holdings using the equity method of accounting.
     The unaudited Loral pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of Telesat Holdings, included elsewhere herein. The Loral unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations assumes the contribution of Loral Skynet and the acquisition of Telesat Canada occurred on January 1, 2006 and the Loral unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes the transactions occurred on December 31, 2006. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of Loral reflects its investment in Telesat Holdings based on the historical book value of the contributed assets and liabilities of Loral Skynet to the extent of Loral’s 64% continuing economic interest in those assets and the gain related to PSP’s 36% economic interest in Telesat Holdings. Loral will have a significant continuing interest in Telesat Holdings and, accordingly, will only recognize a gain to the extent of PSP’s economic interest in the contributed assets and liabilities of Loral Skynet through their 36% ownership interest in Telesat Holdings. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would actually have occurred had the transactions been consummated as of the dates or as at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position.
     Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes which should be read in conjunction with this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information. You should read the unaudited proforma condensed consolidated
