The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 4 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (Unaudited) 1. Business Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. broadcasts digital-quality radio programming from three orbiting satellites to motorists throughout the continental United States for a monthly subscription fee of $12.95. We deliver 60 channels of 100% commercial-free music in virtually every genre, and 40 channels of news, sports and entertainment programming. Since inception, we have used substantial resources to develop our satellite radio system. Our satellite radio system currently consists of our FCC license, three in-orbit satellites, one ground spare satellite, national broadcast studios, terrestrial repeater network and other assets used in our operations. We derive revenue from subscription fees, a one-time activation fee per subscriber and selling advertising on our non-music channels. As of September 30, 2002, we had 11,821 subscribers. 2. Restructuring of our Debt and Equity; the Lock-Up Agreement On October 17, 2002, we entered into a lockup agreement with affiliates of Apollo Management, L.P. ("Apollo"), The Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone") and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. ("Oppenheimer"), and members of an informal noteholders committee, which includes Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. ("Lehman") and Space Systems/Loral, Inc. ("Loral"), pursuant to which each agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to restructure our debt and equity capital. Pursuant to the lockup agreement: o We agreed to commence a public exchange offer for all of our outstanding debt. Lehman, Loral and the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007, our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 and our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 agreed to tender their debt securities in such exchange offer for common stock and deliver consents to amend the indentures under which the notes were issued and waive any existing defaults or defaults caused as a result of the restructuring. Assuming that all of our debt is tendered in this exchange offer, holders of our debt will own approximately 62% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to the restructuring; o Apollo and Blackstone agreed to tender for cancellation all of our outstanding preferred stock in exchange for approximately 8% of our common stock after giving effect to the restructuring, and warrants to purchase 9.1% of our common stock after giving effect to the restructuring; o Apollo, Blackstone and Oppenheimer agreed to purchase newly issued shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 cash. These shares of common stock will represent approximately 22% of our common stock after giving effect to the restructuring; and o Existing holders of our common stock will retain 8% of our common stock after giving effect to the restructuring. All ownership percentages are shown on a primary basis and do not give effect to any issuances of our common stock as the result of the exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase common stock. The completion of the debt exchange offer will be conditioned upon, among other conditions, our receipt of valid tenders from not less than 97% in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding debt and 90% in aggregate principal amount of our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009; provided that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount and accrued interest on our debt may reduce this minimum tender condition to not less than 5 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (Unaudited) 90% in aggregate principal amount of our debt and may lower or eliminate the minimum condition applicable to our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009. We reserve the right to waive the minimum tender condition, which we will be able to do only with the prior written consent of our board of directors, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount and accrued interest on our debt, Apollo and Blackstone. Consummation of the restructuring is subject to a number of significant conditions, including completion of the debt exchange offer, approval of existing stockholders, regulatory approval and other customary conditions. We expect to file a registration statement and a proxy statement relating to the restructuring with the Securities and Exchange Commission in November. Pursuant to the lockup agreement, we are also preparing a prepackaged plan of reorganization to file with the bankruptcy court as an alternative for effecting the restructuring if the conditions to completion of the exchange offer, including the minimum tender condition, are not met or waived but we do receive the required acceptances to seek confirmation of the prepackaged plan. We plan to solicit the vote of each holder of our debt and our stockholders in favor of this prepackaged plan. The prepackaged plan consists of a plan of reorganization that would effect the same transactions contemplated by the restructuring, including the issuance of common stock in exchange for our debt and our preferred stock and the new equity investment by Apollo, Blackstone and Oppenheimer. However, in the event that we determine to file the prepackaged plan with the bankruptcy court, Apollo, Blackstone and Oppenheimer may elect to terminate their obligations to purchase common stock. In that event, and provided no suitable alternative new equity investment is located, we will not seek confirmation of the prepackaged plan. We do not expect to pay the interest that comes due on our outstanding debt after October 17, 2002, the date of the lockup agreement, and prior to the consummation of the restructuring. Following the closing of the restructuring, we expect to cure any payment defaults with respect to any of our debt that remains outstanding. 3. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the accounts of Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and Satellite CD Radio, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. We emerged from development stage and entered commercial operations on February 14, 2002; as such, we revised our Consolidated Statements of Operations to reflect our operational status. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. Risks and Uncertainties Our future operations are subject to the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in new and 6 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (Unaudited) rapidly evolving markets. Among the key factors that have a direct bearing on our results of operations are: our need for substantial additional financing by early 2003, although we have sufficient cash to cover our estimated funding needs through the second quarter of 2003; our dependence upon third parties to manufacture, distribute, market and sell our radios and components for those radios; the unproven market for our service; our competitive position; and the useful life of our satellites. Revenue Recognition Revenue from subscribers consists of our monthly subscription fee, recognized as service is provided, and a non-refundable activation fee. Our non-refundable activation fee is recognized on a pro rata basis over the term of the subscriber relationship, assumed to be 3.5 years for amortization purposes. The assumed term of a subscriber relationship is based on market research and management's judgment and, if necessary, will be refined in the future as historical data becomes available. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, we offered a mail-in rebate program to new subscribers. As required by Emerging Issues Task Force No. 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)," we reported the cost of this program as a reduction of subscription revenue, as we pay mail-in rebates directly to subscribers. We have accrued for 100% of all potential rebates that were available to new subscribers, as historical data on our rebate program is not currently available. We will adjust the related accrual at the end of the mail-in rebate program to reflect the actual amounts paid to subscribers. We recognize advertising revenue from the sale of spot announcements to advertisers as the announcements are broadcast. Agency fees are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for our advertising inventory and are reported as a reduction of advertising revenue on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of our common stock during each reporting period. Diluted net loss per share adjusts the weighted average for the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents (convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, warrants and stock options) were exercised or converted into common stock. Approximately 16,038,000 and 17,044,000 common stock equivalents were outstanding as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as they were anti-dilutive. Property and Equipment All costs incurred to prepare our satellite radio system for use were capitalized. Such costs consist of satellite and launch vehicle construction, broadcast studio equipment, terrestrial repeater equipment and interest. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are as follows: Leasehold improvements................................. 15 years Satellite system....................................... 15 years Broadcast studio equipment............................. 3-8 years Terrestrial repeater equipment......................... 5-15 years Satellite telemetry, tracking and control.............. 3-15 years Customer care, billing and conditional access.......... 3-7 years Furniture, fixtures, equipment and other............... 3-7 years
7 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (Unaudited) The estimated useful lives of our satellites are fifteen years from the date that they were placed into orbit. We depreciate our satellite system on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives of our satellites from the date we launched our service in February 2002 or, in the case of our spare satellite, from the date it was delivered to ground storage in April 2002. All other property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives stated above. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. At such time as an impairment in value of a long-lived asset is identified, except for our FCC license discussed below, the impairment will be measured in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. To determine fair value we employ an expected present value technique, which utilizes multiple cash flow scenarios that reflect the range of possible outcomes and a risk-free rate. FCC License In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires, for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we determined that our FCC license has an indefinite life and we will evaluate it for impairment on an annual basis. We completed an impairment analysis of our FCC license as of January 1, 2002 and concluded that there were no indicators of impairment. To date, we have not recorded any amortization expense related to our FCC license, and therefore are not required to include the transitional disclosures contained in SFAS No. 142. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections," which requires gains and losses from extinguishments of debt to be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." Applying the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 will distinguish transactions that are part of an entity's recurring operations from those that are unusual and infrequent or that meet the criteria for classification as an extraordinary item. SFAS No. 145 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. Our adoption of SFAS No. 145, effective May 15, 2002, required us to reclassify the extraordinary gain we recognized on the extinguishment of $16,500 in principal amount at maturity of our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007 in December 2001. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which requires that a liability associated with an exit or disposal activity be measured at fair value and recognized when the liability is incurred. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. Our adoption of SFAS No. 146, effective June 30, 2002, had no impact on our financial position or results of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the 8 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (Unaudited) reported period. These estimates involve judgments with respect to, among other things, various future factors which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. 4. Subscriber Revenue Subscriber revenue, which consists of subscription and activation fees, was offset by amounts accrued in connection with our mail-in rebate program. Mail-in rebates are paid by us directly to subscribers and are recorded as a reduction to subscription revenue in the period the subscriber activates our service. Historical data related to our mail-in rebate program is not currently available, therefore we are required to accrue 100% of all potential rebates that were available to new subscribers. We will adjust the related accrual at the end of the mail-in rebate program to reflect the actual amounts paid to subscribers. The mail-in rebate program has resulted in negative subscriber revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and reduced subscriber revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The following table details the components of subscriber revenue:
For the Three Months For the Nine Months Ended September 30, Ended September 30, -------------------- --------------------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------ ------ ------ ------ Subscriber Revenue: Subscription revenue $ 259 $ - $ 310 $ - Activation revenue 9 - 12 - Subscriber rebates (319) - (319) - ----- ---- ----- ---- Total Subscriber Revenue $ (51) $ - $ 3 $ - ===== ==== ===== ====
5. Interest Expense Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 was $80,689 and $60,825, respectively. Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was a non-cash expense associated with the induced conversion of our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 of $9,650. There were no induced conversions of our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. 6. Non-cash Stock Compensation In connection with the grant of certain stock options, the issuance of common stock to employees and the issuance of common stock to an employee benefit plan, we record non-cash stock compensation benefits or expenses. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," we recognized a non-cash stock compensation benefit of $9,717 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 related to certain repriced stock options. We may record future non-cash stock compensation benefits or expenses associated with these repriced stock options based on the market value of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. 9 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (Unaudited) 7. Investments Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of U.S. government agency obligations. Effective April 1, 2002, we began classifying marketable securities as available-for-sale securities rather than trading securities because management no longer intends to buy and sell marketable securities with the objective of generating profits. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair market value and unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of stockholders' equity. In prior periods, marketable securities were classified as trading securities and unrealized holding gains and losses were recognized in earnings. We had an unrealized holding gain on marketable securities of $608 and $3,387 at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Restricted Investments Restricted investments consist of fixed income securities, which are stated at amortized cost plus accrued interest. Included in restricted investments are short-term and long-term certificates of deposit of $7,200 and $7,789 as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, which are pledged to secure our reimbursement obligations under letters of credit issued primarily for the benefit of the lessor of our headquarters. Also included in restricted investments as of December 31, 2001 were U.S. Treasury Notes of $14,209, which were used to pay interest on our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 on May 15, 2002. These U.S. Treasury Notes were classified as held-to-maturity securities and unrealized holding gains and losses were not reflected in earnings. As of December 31, 2001, we had an unrealized holding gain of $196 related to these held-to-maturity securities. 8. Deferred Satellite Payments Loral has deferred $50,000 due under our amended and restated satellite contract. The amount deferred, which approximates fair value, bears interest at 10% per year and was originally due in quarterly installments beginning in June 2002. Our fourth, spare, satellite was delivered to ground storage on April 19, 2002 and was originally expected to be delivered to ground storage in October 2000. Loral's delay in delivering this satellite resulted in a revision to the deferred payment schedule as follows: $8,333 due in 2003, $25,001 due in 2004 and $16,666 due in 2005. We have the right to prepay any deferred payments together with accrued interest, without penalty. As collateral security for this deferred amount, we have granted Loral a security interest in our terrestrial repeater network. Pursuant to the lockup agreement, Loral has agreed to tender its debt in exchange for shares of our common stock (See Note 2, "Restructuring of our Debt and Equity; the Lock-Up Agreement"). Upon consummation of the restructuring, the agreement relating to this debt and the security interest in our terrestrial repeater network will be cancelled. 9. Long-term Debt Our long-term debt consists of the following:
Maturity September 30, December 31, Date 2002 2001 -------- ------------- ------------ 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007 12/01/07 $273,073 $242,286 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 5/15/09 178,618 176,346 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 9/29/09 16,461 45,936 Term Loan Facility (current interest rate of 6.8%) Various 143,116 140,422 -------- -------- Total debt $611,268 $604,990 Less: current portion (41,500) (15,000) -------- -------- Total long-term debt $569,768 $589,990 ======== ========
10 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (Unaudited) Our obligations under the 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007, 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 and term loan facility are secured by liens on the stock of Satellite CD Radio, Inc., our subsidiary that holds our FCC license, and our fourth, spare satellite. Acquisitions of 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we acquired $29,475 in aggregate principal amount of our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 in exchange for 2,913,483 shares of our common stock. Default on 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 On September 29, 2002, we elected not to pay the interest due on our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009. This failure to pay interest matured into an event of default under the indenture relating to our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 on October 30, 2002. If the holders of, or the trustee for, our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 accelerate the maturity of these notes, then this acceleration may result in an event of default under the indentures relating to our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007 and our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. Pursuant to the lockup agreement, Lehman and Loral have agreed not to pursue their rights to accelerate the maturity of their debt so long as the lockup agreement has not been terminated. Amendment of Term Loan Facility On March 26, 2002, we entered into an amendment to our term loan agreement with Lehman, which adjusted the financial covenants, accelerated the payment schedule of the term loan and reduced the exercise price of the warrants that had been issued in connection with the term loan from $29.00 to $15.00 per share. In connection with this exercise price reduction, we adjusted the book value of our term loan and future amortization schedule. As amended, the term loan matures in installments as set forth below:
Installment Amount ----------- ------ June 30, 2002 $ 7,500 September 30, 2002 7,500 December 31, 2002 7,500 March 31, 2003 7,500 June 30, 2003 11,500 March 31, 2004 3,375 June 30, 2004 3,375 September 30, 2004 3,375 December 31, 2004 3,375 March 31, 2005 23,750 June 30, 2005 23,750 September 30, 2005 23,750 December 31, 2005 23,750
At our option, we may defer the payments due on June 30, 2002, September 30, 2002, December 31, 2002, March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 for a period of ninety days. We elected to defer the June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002 installments for ninety days. Pursuant to the lockup agreement, Lehman has agreed to tender its term loan in exchange for shares of our common stock (See Note 2, "Restructuring of our Debt and Equity; the Lock-Up Agreement"). Further, pursuant to the lockup agreement, Lehman has agreed not to pursue its right to payment of principal, including the 11 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) (Unaudited) principal payments originally due on June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002, and interest due under the term loan agreement so long as the lock-up agreement has not been terminated. We have paid interest on the term loan through September 10, 2002. 10. Commitments and Contingencies We have entered into agreements with providers of non-music programming and, in certain instances, are obligated to pay license fees, to share advertising revenues from this programming or to purchase advertising on properties owned or controlled by these providers. These obligations aggregate $942, $15,189, $28,075, $22,627 and $674 for the remainder of 2002 and for the years ending December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We have entered into various marketing agreements to promote our brand. Our obligations under these agreements aggregate $10,534, $37,595, $16,343, $10,129 and $6,000 for the remainder of 2002 and for the years ending December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We have also entered into agreements with automakers, radio manufacturers and others that include per-radio and per-subscriber required payments and revenue sharing arrangements. These future costs are dependent upon many factors and are difficult to anticipate; however, these costs may be substantial. We may enter into additional programming, marketing and other agreements that contain provisions similar to our current agreements. 11. Common Stock Issuance In January 2002, we sold 16,000,000 shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $147,500. 12. Subsequent Events On October 7, 2002, we cancelled the warrant previously issued to Ford Motor Company and issued a new warrant to Ford which entitles Ford to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share. On October 25, 2002, we cancelled the warrant previously issued to DaimlerChrysler Corporation and issued a new warrant to Daimler which entitles Daimler to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share. 12 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated) Special Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements The following cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports and documents published by us from time to time. Any statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions, future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "intends," "plans," "projection" and "outlook." Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 (the "Form 10-K") and in other reports and documents published by us from time to time, particularly the risk factors described under "Business--Risk Factors" in Part I of the Form 10-K. Among the significant factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are: o our need for substantial additional financing by early 2003, although we have sufficient cash to cover our estimated funding needs through the second quarter of 2003; o our dependence upon third parties to manufacture, distribute, market and sell our radios and components for those radios; o the unproven market for our service; o our competitive position; XM Satellite Radio, the other satellite radio provider in the United States, began offering its service before us, has a substantial number of subscribers and may have certain competitive advantages; and o the useful life of our satellites, which have experienced circuit failures on their solar arrays. At this time, the circuit failures our satellites have experienced are not expected to limit the power of our broadcast signal, reduce the expected useful life of our satellites or otherwise affect our operations. Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise or to assess with any precision the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Overview From our three orbiting satellites, we directly broadcast digital-quality radio to motorists throughout the continental United States for a monthly subscription fee of $12.95. We deliver 60 channels of 100% commercial-free music in virtually every genre, and 40 channels of news, sports, and entertainment programming. We hold one of only two licenses issued by the FCC to operate a national satellite radio system. We emerged from the development stage in the first quarter of 2002 following the launch of our service on February 14, 2002 in Denver, Colorado; Houston, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and Jackson, Mississippi. We continued to expand our commercial service throughout the United States during the first and second quarters of 13 2002 and completed our national roll out on July 1, 2002. We had 11,821 subscribers as of September 30, 2002, and 16,136 subscribers as of October 31, 2002. We derive revenue from subscription fees, a one-time activation fee per subscriber and selling advertising on our non-music channels. Our operating expenses consist primarily of: o marketing costs, including marketing and sales personnel, advertising, promotions, equipment subsidies, and payments to retailers, dealers, distributors and automakers; o programming costs, including royalties to copyright holders, license fees to programming providers, and advertising revenue sharing arrangements; o costs of operating and maintaining our broadcast system, including the costs of tracking, controlling and insuring our satellites, operating our terrestrial repeater network, and maintaining our national broadcast studio; o costs associated with the continuing development of our radio technology, including the costs of designing and developing future integrated circuits ("chip sets"); o general and administrative costs, including salary and employment related expenses, rent and occupancy costs, corporate insurance expenses and other miscellaneous costs, such as legal and consulting fees; and o depreciation associated with our satellite system, broadcast studio equipment, terrestrial repeater network and other systems and facilities. Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 We had negative subscriber revenue of $51 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Revenue from subscribers consists of our monthly subscription fee, recognized as service is provided, and a non-refundable activation fee, recognized on a pro rata basis over the term of the subscriber relationship, currently assumed to be 3.5 years. Subscription and activation revenue totaling $268 was offset by a $319 reduction in revenue related to our mail-in rebate program. Mail-in rebates are paid by us directly to subscribers and are recorded as a reduction to subscription revenue in the period the subscriber activates our service. Historical data related to our mail-in rebate program is not currently available, therefore we are required to accrue 100% of all potential rebates that were available to new subscribers, which resulted in negative subscriber revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002. We will adjust the related accrual at the end of the mail-in rebate program to reflect the actual amounts paid to subscribers. Average monthly revenue per subscriber was approximately $12.38 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Average monthly revenue per subscriber, which is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is derived from total earned subscription revenue (excluding amounts accrued in connection with the mail-in rebate program) and activation revenue over the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the quarter. We expect average revenue per subscriber to remain relatively stable during the remainder of 2002. Average revenue per subscriber in future periods will be dependent upon the amount of subscriber discounts and the identification of additional revenue streams from subscribers. Advertising revenue, net of agency fees of $11, was $62 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. We recognize advertising revenue from sales of spot announcements to advertisers as the announcements are broadcast. 14 We had net losses of $108,217 and $46,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating expenses increased to $81,739 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $30,650 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in operating expenses was attributable to the continued implementation of our sales and marketing campaign following the launch of our service, depreciation of our satellite system and terrestrial repeater network, amounts paid to radio manufacturers to subsidize a portion of the costs of our radios and the increase in our workforce. We expect operating expenses to continue to increase as we build our subscriber base and expand our operations. Satellite and transmission expenses decreased to $8,140 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $8,294 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Satellite and transmission expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, in-orbit satellite insurance expense and costs associated with the operation and maintenance of our satellite tracking, telemetry and control system, terrestrial repeater network and national broadcast studio. We expect that a significant portion of our satellite and transmission costs will remain relatively constant, and that increases or decreases in satellite and transmission costs will be due, in large part, to increased or decreased costs of insuring our in-orbit satellites. Our indentures currently require us to maintain insurance covering our in-orbit satellites. We intend to evaluate the benefits of continuing to purchase in-orbit satellite insurance in light of the increased costs and the probability of an insurable failure occurring, and may decline to purchase such insurance. Programming and content expenses increased to $4,199 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2,377 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Programming and content expenses include license fees to third parties that provide non-music content, costs associated with the production of our music and non-music programming, costs of our on-air talent, royalties for music broadcast on our service and programming personnel costs. The increase in costs during the 2002 period was primarily attributable to costs of on-air talent and amounts paid to acquire programming. We anticipate that our programming costs will increase over time as we continue to develop our channel line-up, share additional advertising revenue from the increased price of spot advertisements sold to advertisers and incur additional royalties as a result of increased subscriber revenue. Customer service and billing costs increased to $1,855 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $1,614 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Customer service center and billing costs include costs associated with the full time operation of our customer service center and subscriber management system. The increase in costs during the 2002 period was primarily attributable to additional customer representatives at our customer service center. We expect that our customer service center and billing costs will increase as we acquire subscribers. Customer service and billing costs on a per subscriber basis will be significantly reduced as our fixed operating costs are spread over a larger subscriber base. We have identified defects in our subscriber management system which, if not corrected in a timely manner, could negatively impact our business, including our ability to bill subscribers and accurately report financial information. We have notified the provider of this system that these defects must be resolved promptly. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $33,314 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $5,494 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Sales and marketing expenses include costs related to sales and marketing personnel, advertising, sponsorships, consumer promotions, brand building activities, subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, commission payments to distributors and retailers and other payments to distributors and retailers to reimburse them for marketing and promotional activities. Sales and marketing expenses increased during the 2002 period due to the national launch of our service, marketing activities by distributors and retailers, our marketing and promotional efforts and the costs associated with subsidies paid to radio and chip set manufacturers in advance of acquiring subscribers. Sales and marketing expenses may increase in the future as we build brand awareness through national advertising, offer additional hardware subsidies paid to manufacturers of our radios and other incentives to acquire subscribers including commissions to retailers and other distributors. General and administrative expenses increased to $8,121 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $7,605 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses include rent and occupancy costs, corporate overhead and general and administrative personnel. The increase in the 2002 period is associated with the expansion of our workforce and a loss of $924 15 on the disposal of assets associated with terminating a lease on non-essential office space, which was offset by a decrease in rent due to this termination. Research and development costs decreased to $2,561 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $12,145 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Research and development includes costs associated with our agreements with Agere Systems, Inc. to develop and manufacture chip sets for use in our radios. In addition, we have agreements with Alpine Electronics Inc., Audiovox Corporation, Clarion Co., Ltd., Delphi Corporation, Kenwood Corporation, Matsushita Communications Industrial Corporation USA, Visteon Automotive Systems and others to design, develop and produce our radios and have agreed to pay certain costs associated with these radios. We record expenses under these agreements as work is performed. The decrease in the 2002 period related to a reduction in expenses as we completed our first generation of chip sets and Sirius radios. The amount of our future research and development costs is dependent upon modifications to our existing technology and enhancements to our radios, and we expect this amount to decrease on an annual basis for 2003. Depreciation expense increased to $23,011 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2,336 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase principally relates to our satellite system and terrestrial repeater network, which we began depreciating during 2002, our first year of commercial operations. We recognized non-cash stock compensation expense of $538 and non-cash stock compensation benefit of $9,215 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Non-cash stock compensation includes charges and benefits associated with the grant of certain stock options, the issuance of common stock to employees and the issuance of common stock to an employee benefit plan. The non-cash stock compensation benefit for the 2001 period was principally due to the repricing of certain employee stock options. We may record future non-cash stock compensation benefits or expense related to the repriced stock options based on the market value of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. Expenses associated with the restructuring of our debt and equity, consisting primarily of legal and advisory fees, totaled $1,905 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. We expect to incur significant additional expenses related to the restructuring of our debt and equity until the time the restructuring is consummated. Interest and investment income decreased to $1,013 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $5,010 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease was attributable to lower returns on our investments in U.S. government securities and lower average balances of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the 2002 period. Interest expense was $25,603 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $21,260 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, net of amounts capitalized of $0 and $4,982, respectively. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 Revenue from subscribers was $3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Subscription and activation revenue totaling $322 was offset by $319 accrued for our mail-in rebate program. Mail-in rebates are paid by us directly to subscribers and are recorded as a reduction to subscription revenue in the period the subscriber activates our service. Historical data related to our mail-in rebate program is not currently available, therefore we are required to accrue 100% of all potential rebates that were available to new subscribers, which significantly reduced our subscriber revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002. We will adjust the related accrual at the end of the mail-in rebate program to reflect the actual amounts paid to subscribers. Average monthly revenue per subscriber was approximately $12.41 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Average monthly revenue per subscriber, which is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is derived from total earned subscription revenue (excluding amounts accrued in connection with the mail-in rebate program) and activation revenue over the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the quarter. Advertising revenue, net of agency fees of $19, was $111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. 16 We had net losses of $300,395 and $163,057 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating expenses increased to $222,451 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $116,618 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the continued implementation of our sales and marketing campaign for the launch of our service, depreciation of our satellite system and terrestrial repeater network, amounts paid to radio manufacturers to subsidize a portion of the costs of these radios and the increase in our workforce. Satellite and transmission costs increased to $25,347 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $22,717 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in costs related primarily to the expanded operation of our terrestrial repeater network as we prepared for our national launch and an increase in the cost of in-orbit satellite insurance. Programming and content expenses increased to $12,107 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $6,297 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in costs during the 2002 period was primarily attributable to costs of on-air talent, license fees paid to acquire programming and advertising revenue share. Customer service and billing costs increased to $5,579 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $4,746 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in costs during the 2002 period was primarily attributable to costs of additional customer representatives at our customer service center. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $79,874 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $15,172 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Sales and marketing expenses increased during the 2002 period due to the launch of our service, marketing activities by distributors and retailers, our marketing and promotional efforts, costs associated with subsidies paid to radio and chip set manufacturers in advance of acquiring subscribers and costs of providing live feeds of our service to retailers and other distributors. In addition, during the 2002 period we incurred a one-time charge of $2,742 related to the disposal of certain elements of our website. General and administrative expenses increased to $24,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $19,458 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in the 2002 period is associated with the expansion of our workforce and a loss of $924 on the disposal of assets associated with terminating a lease on non-essential office space, which was offset by a decrease in rent due to this termination. Research and development costs decreased to $23,699 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $38,223 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Research and development costs decreased during the 2002 period as we completed our first generation chip set and our radio manufacturers substantially completed development of our first generation radios. The overall decrease was partially offset by a payment of $8,134 to Panasonic to release us from our purchase commitment and reduce the factory price of our radios. Depreciation expense increased to $59,591 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $6,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase principally relates to the depreciation of our satellite system and terrestrial repeater network. We recognized a non-cash stock compensation benefit of $7,995 and non-cash stock compensation expense of $3,374 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The non-cash stock compensation benefit for the 2002 period was principally due to the repricing of certain employee stock options. We may record future non-cash stock compensation benefits or expenses related to the repriced stock options based on the market value of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. Expenses associated with the restructuring of our debt and equity, consisting primarily of legal and advisory fees, totaled $1,905 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. We expect to incur significant additional expenses related to the restructuring of our debt and equity. Interest and investment income decreased to $4,530 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $14,386 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease was attributable to lower returns on our investments in U.S. government securities and lower average balances of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the 2002 period. 17 Interest expense was $80,689 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $60,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, net of amounts capitalized of $5,426 and $14,055, respectively. Included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $9,650 of non-cash expense related to the induced conversion of $29,475 in aggregate principal amount of our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2002, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $248,698 and working capital of $171,911 compared with cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term restricted investments totaling $323,742 and working capital of $275,732 at December 31, 2001. Cash Flows Net cash used in operating activities was $256,504 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $321,747 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in cash used in operations was primarily attributable to a reduction in cash used to purchase marketable securities during the 2002 period. This decrease was offset by an increase in sales and marketing costs, an increase in programming and content costs, and prepayments related to advertising. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $171,747 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $39,801 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The change from the prior period was principally due to a change in the classification of our marketable securities from trading to available-for-sale securities during the second quarter of 2002, offset by a decrease in capital expenditures. Transactions relating to trading securities are considered operating activities; transactions relating to available-for-sale securities are classified as investing activities. During the second and third quarter of 2002, we received cash from the maturity of marketable securities of $194,521. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $143,997 as compared to $374,941 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. During 2002, we issued 16,000,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $147,500 and paid fees associated with the restructuring of $3,500. During 2001, we completed an equity offering resulting in net proceeds of $229,300 and had net borrowings under our term loan facility of $145,000. Funds Raised to Date Since inception, we have funded the development of our system and the introduction of our service through the issuance of debt and equity securities. As of September 30, 2002, we had raised approximately $1,250,800 in equity capital from the sale of our common stock and convertible preferred stock. In addition, we have received approximately $638,000 in net proceeds from public debt offerings and private credit arrangements. Additional Funding Requirements We have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to cover our estimated funding needs through the second quarter of 2003, without giving effect to the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock we expect to receive upon the closing of the restructuring discussed below. If the restructuring is not completed, we anticipate that our additional funding needs will total approximately $600,000 until our operations become self-sustaining, which we currently anticipate will not occur for several years, when we have approximately three million subscribers. However, if the growth rate of the number of subscribers is slower than expected or the cost of obtaining these subscribers is higher than forecast, our operations may become self-sustaining at a later date or may never become self-sustaining. The 18 amount and timing of our cash requirements also depends upon other factors, including the rate of growth of our business, subscriber acquisition costs and costs of financing. On October 17, 2002, we entered into a lockup agreement with affiliates of Apollo Management, L.P. ("Apollo"), The Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone") and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. ("Oppenheimer"), and members of an informal noteholders committee, which includes Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. ("Lehman"), Space Systems/Loral, Inc. ("Loral"), pursuant to which each agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to restructure our debt and equity capital. Pursuant to the lockup agreement: o We agreed to commence a public exchange offer for all of our outstanding debt. Lehman, Loral and the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007, our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 and our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 agreed to tender their debt securities in such exchange offer for our common stock and deliver consents to amend the indentures under which the notes were issued and waive any existing defaults or defaults caused as a result of the restructuring. Assuming that all of our debt is tendered in this exchange offer, holders of our debt will own approximately 62% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to the restructuring; o Apollo and Blackstone agreed to tender for cancellation all of our outstanding preferred stock in exchange for approximately 8% of our common stock after giving effect to the restructuring, and warrants to purchase 9.1% of our common stock after giving effect to the restructuring; o Apollo, Blackstone and Oppenheimer agreed to purchase newly issued shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 cash. These shares of common stock will represent approximately 22% of our common stock after giving effect to the restructuring; and o Existing holders of our common stock will retain 8% of our common stock after giving effect to the restructuring. All ownership percentages are shown on a primary basis and do not give effect to any issuances of our common stock as the result of the exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase common stock. The completion of the debt exchange offer will be conditioned upon, among other conditions, our receipt of valid tenders from not less than 97% in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding debt and 90% in aggregate principal amount of our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009; provided that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount and accrued interest on our debt may reduce this minimum tender condition to not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of our debt and may lower or eliminate the minimum condition applicable to our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009. We reserve the right to waive the minimum tender condition, which we will be able to do only with the prior written consent of our board of directors, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount and accrued interest on our debt securities, Apollo and Blackstone. Consummation of the restructuring is subject to a number of significant conditions, including completion of the debt exchange offer, approval of existing stockholders, regulatory approval and other customary conditions. We expect to file a registration statement and a proxy statement relating to the restructuring with the Securities and Exchange Commission in November. Pursuant to the lockup agreement, we are also preparing a prepackaged plan of reorganization to file with the bankruptcy court as an alternative for effecting the restructuring if the conditions to completion of the exchange offer, including the minimum tender condition, are not met or waived but we do receive the required acceptances to seek confirmation of the prepackaged plan. We plan to solicit the vote of each holder of our debt and our stockholders in favor of this prepackaged plan. The prepackaged plan consists of a plan of reorganization that would effect the same transactions contemplated by the restructuring, including the issuance of common stock in exchange for our debt and our preferred stock and the new equity investment by Apollo, Blackstone and Oppenheimer. However, in the event 19 that we determine to file the prepackaged plan with the bankruptcy court, Apollo, Blackstone and Oppenheimer may elect to terminate their obligations to purchase common stock. In that event, and provided no suitable alternative new equity investment is located, we will not seek confirmation of the prepackaged plan. We do not expect to pay the interest that comes due on our outstanding debt after October 17, 2002, the date of the lockup agreement, and prior to the consummation of the restructuring. Following the closing of the restructuring, we expect to cure any payment defaults with respect to any of our debt that remains outstanding. Following consummation of the restructuring, we expect to have sufficient cash to cover our funding needs into the second quarter of 2004. After giving effect to the restructuring, we anticipate that we can achieve cash flow breakeven with further additional funding of approximately $75,000. We are continuing to evaluate initiatives that could enable us to achieve cash flow breakeven without raising additional funds. However, if the number of actual subscribers, or the costs to acquire new subscribers, differs substantially from our expectations, we may need substantial additional financing. These amounts are estimates and may change, and we may need additional funding in excess of these estimates. We may have to raise more funds than expected to remain in business and continue to develop and market our satellite radio service. Default on our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 On September 29, 2002, we elected not to pay the interest due on our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009. As of September 30, 2002, there was $16,461 in principal amount of our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 outstanding, and the aggregate amount of interest due with respect to these notes was $720. This failure to pay interest matured into an event of default under the indenture relating to our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 on October 30, 2002. If the holders of, or the trustees for, our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 accelerates the maturity of these notes, then this acceleration may result in an event of default under the indentures relating to our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007 and our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. Pursuant to the lockup agreement, Lehman and Loral have agreed not to pursue their rights to accelerate the maturity of their debt so long as the lockup agreement has not been terminated. We expect to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an offer to exchange these notes for shares of our common stock in November. Contractual Commitments We have entered into agreements with providers of non-music programming and, in certain instances, are obligated to pay license fees, to share advertising revenues from this programming or to purchase advertising on properties owned or controlled by these providers. These obligations aggregate $942, $15,189, $28,075, $22,627 and $674 for the remainder of 2002, and for the years ending December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We have entered into marketing agreements to promote our brand. Our obligations under these agreements aggregate $10,534, $37,595, $16,343, $10,129 and $6,000 for the remainder of 2002, and for the years ending December 31, 2003 and 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We have also entered into agreements with automakers, radio manufacturers and others that include per-radio and per-subscriber required payments and revenue sharing arrangements. These future costs are dependent upon many factors and are difficult to anticipate; however, these costs may be substantial. We may enter into additional programming, marketing and other agreements that contain provisions similar to our current agreements. 20 Critical Accounting Policies Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 14 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. We have identified the following policies as critical to our business and understanding of our results of operations. Subscription Revenue Recognition. Revenue from subscribers consists of our monthly subscription fee, recognized as the service is provided, and a non-refundable activation fee, recognized on a pro rata basis over the term of the subscriber relationship, currently estimated to be 3.5 years. The estimated term of a subscriber relationship is based on market research and management's judgment and, if necessary, will be refined in the future as historical data becomes available. Mail-in rebates are paid by us directly to subscribers and are recorded as a reduction to subscription revenue in the period the subscriber activates our service. Historical data related to our mail-in rebate program is not currently available, therefore we are required to accrue 100% of all potential rebates that were available to new subscribers. Average Monthly Revenue per Subscriber. Average monthly revenue per subscriber, which is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is derived from total earned subscription revenue (excluding amounts accrued for the mail-in rebate program) and activation revenue over the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the quarter. Useful Lives of Satellites. We consider our satellite system to include the cost of satellite construction, launch vehicles, launch insurance and capitalized interest, including the cost of our spare satellite. The expected useful lives of our in-orbit satellites are fifteen years from the date they were placed into orbit. We are depreciating our three in-orbit satellites over their respective remaining useful lives beginning February 14, 2002 or, in the case of our spare satellite, from the date it was delivered to ground storage on April 19, 2002. If placed into orbit, our spare satellite is expected to operate effectively for fifteen years; however, the spare satellite may be replaced at the time we launch a new satellite system. Marketable Securities. Marketable securities consist of U.S. government agency obligations. Effective April 1, 2002, marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities because management no longer intends to buy and sell marketable securities with the objective of generating profits. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair market value and unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of stockholders' equity. In prior periods, marketable securities were classified as trading securities and unrealized holding gains and losses were recognized in earnings. 21 Controls and Procedures As of September 30, 2002, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Joseph P. Clayton, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and John J. Scelfo, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure and control procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2002. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to September 30, 2002. 22 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION (Dollar amounts in thousands) ITEM 3. Default on Senior Securities On September 29, 2002, we elected not to pay the interest due on our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009. As of September 30, 2002, there was $16,461 in principal amount of our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 outstanding, and the aggregate amount of interest due with respect to these notes was $720. The failure to pay this interest matured into an event of default under the indenture relating to our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 on October 30, 2002. If the holders of, or the trustee for, our 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 accelerates the maturity of these notes, then this acceleration may result in an event of default under the indentures relating to our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007 and our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. Pursuant to the lockup agreement, Lehman and Loral have agreed not to pursue their rights to accelerate the maturity of their debt so long as the lockup agreement has not been terminated. We expect to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an offer to exchange these notes for shares of our common stock in November. ITEM 6.
