(1)  Description of the Business

     SkyTerra Communications, Inc. (the "Company") operates its business
through a group of complementary companies in the telecommunications industry.
These companies include: (i) Hughes Network Systems, LLC ("HNS"), a leading
provider of broadband satellite networks and services to the enterprise market
and satellite Internet access to the North American consumer market; (ii) the
Mobile Satellite Venture, L.P. joint venture ("MSV Joint Venture"), a joint
venture which provides mobile digital voice and data communications services
via satellite; (iii) Electronic System Products, Inc. ("ESP"), a product
development and engineering services firm and (iv) AfriHUB, LLC ("AfriHUB"),
an early stage company that provides a limited amount of satellite based
Internet access and domestic and international calling services through
exclusive partnerships with certain Nigerian based universities while it
actively pursues opportunities to provide technical training in the Nigerian
market. The Company completed its acquisition of 50% of the equity interests
of HNS in April 2005 and serves as its managing member.

     The Company is headquartered in New York, New York.

 (2) Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary
for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. While
the Company believes that disclosures presented are adequate to make the
information not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and
related notes for the year ended December 31, 2004 which are contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's
presentation.

(3)  Interest in the MSV Joint Venture

   MSV Joint Venture

     The Company's 80% owned MSV Investors, LLC subsidiary (the "MSV Investors
Subsidiary") owns approximately 23% of the limited partnership interests (on
an undiluted basis) of the MSV Joint Venture, a joint venture that also
includes TMI Communications, Inc. ("TMI"), Motient Corporation ("Motient") and
certain other investors (the "Other MSV Investors"). The Company accounts for
its interest in the MSV Joint Venture under the equity method and,
accordingly, records its proportionate share of the net loss of the MSV Joint
Venture, subject to certain adjustments. These adjustments relate primarily to
the amortization of the excess of the Company's carrying amount over its
proportionate share of the MSV Joint Venture's net assets on the date of
conversion. This excess is being amortized over the remaining useful life of
certain MSV Joint Venture long-lived assets on a straight line basis. As of
June 30, 2005, the Company's book investment exceeded its proportionate share
of the MSV Joint Venture's net assets by approximately $1.5 million.

     The following table presents summarized consolidated financial
information for the MSV Joint Venture for the periods indicated. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the MSV Joint Venture's consolidated
balance sheet information as of December 31, 2004 and consolidated statement
of operation information for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to reflect
TerreStar Networks, Inc. ("TerreStar") as a discontinued operation which
resulted from the exchange of the TerreStar Rights as discussed below.

     The MSV Investors Subsidiary and the other partners of the MSV Joint
Venture have agreed that the acquisition or disposition by the MSV Joint
Venture of its assets, certain acquisitions or dispositions of a limited
partner's interest in the MSV Joint Venture, subsequent investment into the
MSV Joint Venture by any person, and any merger or other business combination
of the MSV Joint Venture, are subject to the control restrictions contained in
the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, the Amended and
Restated Stockholders Agreement and the Voting Agreement. The control
restrictions include, but are not limited to, rights of first refusal, tag
along rights and drag along rights. Many of these actions, among others,
cannot occur without the consent of the majority of the ownership interests of
the MSV Joint Venture. In addition, pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the MSV
Investors Subsidiary and two of the three other joint venture partner groups
have agreed that three of the four joint venture partner groups must consent
to certain transactions involving the MSV Joint Venture or the partners or
none of the parties to the Voting Agreement will support such actions,
including permitting any partner to acquire control of the MSV Joint Venture.

   TerreStar Networks

     TerreStar was formed by the MSV Joint Venture to develop business
opportunities related to the proposed receipt of certain licenses in the 2 GHz
band. In December 2004, the MSV Joint Venture issued rights (the "TerreStar
Rights") to receive all of the shares of common stock of TerreStar, then a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the MSV Joint Venture, to the limited partners of
the MSV Joint Venture, pro rata in accordance with each limited partner's
percentage ownership. The TerreStar Rights were to automatically be exchanged
for shares of TerreStar common stock on May 20, 2005. In connection with the
distribution of the TerreStar Rights, TerreStar issued warrants to purchase
shares of its common stock representing 3% of the outstanding equity for an
exercised price of $0.21 per share to certain of the Other MSV Investors.
These warrants were exercised in March 2005. On May 11, 2005, TerreStar raised
$200.0 million in cash by selling common stock to Motient at a purchase price
of $24.42 per share (the "TerreStar Private Placement"), raising Motient's
ownership of TerreStar to approximately 61% on an undiluted basis. In
connection with the TerreStar Private Placement, the TerreStar Rights were
exchanged for shares of TerreStar common stock. Following these transactions,
the Company's MSV Investors Subsidiary owns 5,303,315 shares of TerreStar
common stock, or approximately 17% of TerreStar on an undiluted basis, and is
accounting for its interest in TerreStar under the cost method. In accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions," the Company's carrying value for its interest in TerreStar is
based on its pro rata share of the MSV Joint Venture's carrying value for
TerreStar before the distribution. As the MSV Joint Venture had no carrying
value for its interest in TerreStar, the Company has not recorded any carrying
value for its interest in TerreStar on the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets.

     In connection with the TerreStar Private Placement, the minority
shareholders of TerreStar, including the Company's MSV Investors Subsidiary,
TMI and the Other MSV Investors, entered into certain agreements with
TerreStar and Motient providing the MSV Investors Subsidiary (and the other
minority shareholders) with certain protections, including tag along rights,
pre-emptive rights and representation on the TerreStar Board of Directors. In
addition, the TerreStar shares held by the minority shareholders, including
the MSV Investors Subsidiary, under certain conditions, may be subject to drag
along rights of Motient. In connection with the TerreStar Private Placement,
the MSV Joint Venture licensed TerreStar certain intellectual property and
agreed to provide TerreStar with certain services. Also, in connection with
the transaction, Motient agreed, subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions, to waive certain rights in order to facilitate a transaction in
which the one of the minority shareholders in TerreStar acquires all of the
interests in the MSV Joint Venture held by the other minority shareholders in
TerreStar, resulting in control of the MSV Joint Venture being held by such
party. The minority shareholders have not agreed to such a transaction or
committed to consummate such a transaction. There can be no assurance that any
such discussions will take place among the minority shareholders or otherwise
result in a definitive binding agreement.

(4)  Interest in Hughes Network Systems

     In April 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of 50% of the Class
A equity interests of HNS from Hughes Network Systems, Inc. ("HNSI"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of The DIRECTV Group, Inc. ("DIRECTV"), for $50.0 million in
cash and 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The acquisition
occurred pursuant to an agreement among the Company, DIRECTV, HNSI and HNS,
dated December 3, 2004, as amended. Immediately prior to the acquisition, HNSI
contributed substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of its
very small aperture terminal, mobile satellite and carrier businesses, as well
as the certain portions of its SPACEWAY Ka-band satellite communications
platform that is under development, to HNS, which at the time was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HNSI. In consideration for the contribution of
assets by HNSI, HNS paid HNSI $190.7 million of cash. This payment represents
the $201.0 million stated in the agreement less an estimated purchase price
adjustment of $10.3 million, which is subject to further adjustment depending
principally upon the closing value of HNS' working capital (as defined in the
agreement). Concurrently, HNS incurred $325.0 million of term indebtedness and
obtained a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company and HNSI have
each pledged their respective equity interest in HNS to secure the obligations
of HNS under the term indebtedness. The indebtedness is otherwise non-recourse
to the Company or HNSI. Following the acquisition, the Company serves as the
managing member of HNS.

     The HNS limited liability agreement allows for the issuance of Class B
equity interests which are entitled to receive a pro rata share of any capital
gains upon, among other things, a sale of HNS. In April 2005, Class B equity
interests were issued to certain members of HNS' senior management and the
Company's chief executive officer and president entitling the holders to
approximately 4% of any capital gains resulting from a qualifying transaction.
These Class B equity interests are subject to certain vesting requirements,
with 50% of the Class B equity interests subject to time vesting over five
years and the other 50% vesting based upon certain performance milestones. If
the Company acquires the remaining 50% of the outstanding Class A equity
interests, then one year following such a transaction, at the holders'
election, vested Class B equity interests could be exchanged for common stock
of the Company. The number of shares of the Company's common stock to be
issued upon such exchange would be based upon the fair market value of such
vested Class B equity interest divided by the value of the Company's common
stock at such time.

     In addition, in July 2005, HNS adopted an incentive plan pursuant to which
bonus units representing up to aproximately 4% of the increase in the value of
HNS are available for grant to its employees. The bonus units provide for time
vesting over five years subject to a participant's continued employment with
HNS and reflect a right to receive a cash payment upon a change of control of
HNS (but excluding the acquisition by the Company of the remaining 50% of the
outstanding Class A equity interests) or a sale of substantially all of the
assets of HNS. Pursuant to the plan, if the Company acquires the remaining 50%
of the outstanding Class A equity interests and a participant in the plan is
still employed by HNS at such time, then the participant's vested bonus units
would be exchanged for common stock of the Company. The number of shares of
the Company's common stock to be issued upon such exchange would be based upon
the fair market value of such vested bonus unit divided by the value of the
Company's common stock at such time.

     The Company accounts for its interest in HNS under the equity method in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51"
("FIN 46R"), as HNS is a variable interest entity as defined in FIN 46R and
the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN 46R. Accordingly,
the Company records its proportionate share of the net income of HNS, subject
to certain adjustments. These adjustments relate primarily to the amortization
of the excess the Company's proportionate share of HNS' net assets over the
Company's carrying amount on the date of acquisition. This excess is being
amortized over the remaining useful life of certain HNS long-lived assets on a
straight line basis. As of June 30, 2005, the Company's proportionate share of
HNS' net assets exceeded its book investment by approximately $11.8 million.

     The following table presents summarized consolidated financial
information for HNS for the periods indicated:

</TABLE>

     As of December 31, 2004, the Company had incurred approximately $5.0
million of transaction costs, including legal, accounting and other costs
directly related to the transaction. These costs are included in deferred

At closing of the acquisition, HNS either paid these costs directly or
reimbursed the Company for amounts paid by the Company.

(5)  Variable Interest Entities

     (a) Interest in Navigauge

     As of June 30, 2005, the Company owned approximately 39% of the
outstanding equity interests of Navigauge, Inc. ("Navigauge") on an undiluted
basis. Navigauge is a privately held media and marketing research firm that
collects data on in-car radio usage and driving habits of consumers and
intends to market the aggregate data to radio broadcasters, advertisers and
advertising agencies in the United States. From January 2005 through June
2005, the Company purchased additional short-term promissory notes from
Navigauge with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $0.6 million. As
of June 30, 2005, the Company holds short-term promissory notes from Navigauge
with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.1 million and,
following the impairment discussed below, no carrying amount on the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

     Although Navigauge is a variable interest entity as defined in FIN 46R,
the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN 46R. Accordingly,
prior to the impairment discussed below, this investment was included in
investments in affiliates on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets and was being accounted for under the equity method with the Company's
share of Navigauge's loss being recorded in loss on investments in affiliates
on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For each
of the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company's share of
Navigauge's loss was $0.3 million. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2004, the Company's share of Navigauge's loss was $0.4 million and $0.5
million, respectively.

     As Navigauge was unsuccessful in raising the capital necessary to expand
its service beyond the Atlanta market and in light of its prospects, during
the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized a loss of
approximately $1.3 million relating to the impairment of the aggregate
remaining carrying amount of its equity interest in Navigauge and the
short-term promissory notes. This loss is included in loss on investments in
affiliates on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations. In July 2005, Navigauge entered into a non-binding letter of
intent to sell substantially all of its assets. The sale of the assets is
subject to, among other things, completion of the buyer's due diligence and
negotiation and execution of definitive documentation satisfactory to the
parties. If the sale of the assets occurs on the terms set forth in the
non-binding letter of intent, the Company would recover a certain amount on
the short-term promissory notes with such amount being recorded as a gain on
the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

     (b) Interest in Miraxis

     As of June 30, 2005, the Company owned approximately 40% of the ownership
interests of Miraxis on an undiluted basis. Miraxis is a development stage
company that has access to a Ka-band license so long as it implements its
business plan to provide satellite based multi-channel, broadband data and
video services in North America. The Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer holds an approximate 1% interest in Miraxis. As Miraxis is a variable
interest entity as defined in FIN 46R and the Company is the primary
beneficiary as defined in FIN 46R, the operating results and financial
position of Miraxis have been included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

(6)  Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

     Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per
common share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion
of securities into common stock. The potential dilutive effect of outstanding
stock options and warrants is calculated using the "treasury stock" method,
and the potential dilutive effect of the convertible preferred stock is
calculated using the "if-converted" method.

     The following table provides a reconciliation of the shares used in
calculating earnings (loss) per common share:

</TABLE>

     During all periods presented, the Company had certain stock options and
warrants outstanding, which could potentially dilute basic earnings (loss) per
common share in the future, but were excluded in the computation of diluted
earnings (loss) per common share in such periods, as their effect would have
been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, stock
options and warrants exercisable for 1,556,609 shares and 3,260,476 shares of
common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings (loss) per common share, as they were antidilutive. For each of the
three and six months ended June 30, 2004, stock options and warrants
exercisable for 1,734,650 shares of common stock were excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per common share, as they were antidilutive.

     During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, 1,912,485
shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the preferred stock
were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common
share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. During each of the three
and six months ended June 30, 2004, 1,750,374 shares of common stock issuable
upon the conversion of the preferred stock were excluded from the computation
of diluted earnings (loss) per common share, as their effect would have been
antidilutive.

 (7) Stock Option Plans

     The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), which
allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB Opinion No. 25"), as
clarified by FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting For Certain Transactions
Involving Stock Compensation," and provides pro forma net income and pro forma
earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the
fair-value-based method, as defined in SFAS No. 123, had been applied. The
Company has elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide
the pro forma disclosure required by SFAS No. 123.

     APB Opinion No. 25 does not require the recognition of compensation
expense for stock options granted to employees at fair market value. However,
any modification to previously granted awards generally results in
compensation expense or contra-expense recognition using the cumulative
expense method, calculated based on quoted prices of the Company's common
stock and vesting schedules of underlying awards. As a result of the
re-pricing of certain stock options in 2001 and 2002, the Company recognized
compensation contra-expense of approximately $0.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2005. As a result of the re-pricing of those
certain stock options, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the
Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $0.7 million and $1.0
million, respectively.

     The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to pro forma
net loss as if the fair value method had been applied to all awards:

(8)    Segment Information

     The segment information is reported along the same lines that our chief
operating decision maker reviews the operating results in assessing
performance and allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated
operations have been classified into five reportable segments: the MSV Joint
Venture, HNS, ESP, AfriHUB and Parent and other. The MSV Joint Venture, which
became a reportable segment following the November 2004 conversion of the
notes receivable into limited partnership interests of the MSV Joint Venture,
provides mobile digital voice and data communications services via satellite.
HNS, which became a reportable segment following the April 2005 acquisition by
the Company, is a provider of broadband satellite networks and services to the
enterprise market and satellite Internet access to the North American consumer
market. ESP, which became a reportable segment following the August 2003
acquisition by the Company, is an engineering services firm with expertise in
the design and manufacturing of electronic products and systems across many
disciplines of electrical engineering. AfriHUB, which became a reportable
segment following the April 2004 acquisition by the Company, provides a
limited amount of satellite based Internet access and domestic and
international calling services through exclusive partnerships with certain
Nigerian based universities while it explores opportunities to provide
technical training in the Nigerian market. Parent and other includes the
Company, other consolidated entities other than ESP and AfriHUB and
eliminations.

     The following table presents certain financial information on the
Company's reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The
HNS column represents the results of operations for the period following the
April 22, 2005 acquisition through June 30, 2005. Since our 23% share of the
results of MSV Joint Venture's operations and our 50% share of the results of
HNS' operations are already included in the Parent and Other column, the
Eliminate MSV Joint Venture and HNS column removes the results of the MSV
Joint Venture and HNS shown in the MSV Joint Venture and HNS columns.

(9)   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets.

     As a result of the Company's decision to cease providing funding to
AfriHUB, as of June 30, 2005, we evaluated AfriHUB's long-lived assets for
recoverability and determined that the undiscounted cash flows over the
remaining expected life of the two established centers was less than the
carrying value of the assets relating to those centers. Accordingly, the
Company assessed the fair value of these assets by estimating the
recoverability of the computers and equipment upon a sale. The Company
recognized a non-cash impairment loss relating to the computers and equipment
as their carrying value exceeded the fair value by approximately $0.4 million.

(10)  Discontinued Operations

     From 1998 through the third quarter of 2001, the Company's principal
business was conducted through Rare Medium, Inc., which developed Internet
e-commerce strategies, business processes, marketing communications, branding
strategies and interactive content using Internet-based technologies and
solutions. As a result of the weakening of general economic conditions that
caused many companies to reduce spending on Internet-focused business
solutions and in light of their performance and prospects, a decision to
discontinue Rare Medium, Inc.'s operations, along with those of its
LiveMarket, Inc. subsidiary ("LiveMarket"), was made at the end of the third
quarter of 2001. As of June 30, 2005, cash of approximately $10,000 (excluding
the $0.3 million of cash collateralizing a letter of credit) was the remaining
asset of Rare Medium, Inc. and LiveMarket. The liabilities of these
subsidiaries totaled approximately $2.3 million, consisting of accounts
payable and accrued expenses. Included in the total liabilities of these
subsidiaries is $1.0 million related to a lease obligation which is guaranteed
by the Company. The total maximum potential liability of this guarantee is
approximately $3.7 million, subject to certain defenses by the Company. Rare
Medium, Inc. holds $0.3 million of cash in a certificate of deposit which is
maintained as collateral for a letter of credit supporting the lease
obligation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the
Company did not recognize any gains or losses as a result of the settlement of
Rare Medium, Inc. liabilities at amounts less than or greater than their
recorded amounts.

(11)  Related Party Transactions

     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, ESP recognized
revenues totaling nil and $11,000, respectively, for certain services provided
to the MSV Joint Venture. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004,
ESP recognized revenues totaling approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, for certain services provided to Navigauge and the MSV Joint
Venture.

 (12) Commitments and Contingencies

   Regulatory

     In April 2005, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") approved a
license application submitted by the Company which provides the Company with
access to a satellite orbital slot. To ensure that the Company complies with
certain milestones with respect to the construction, launch and initial
operation of a satellite in the orbital slot, the FCC requires the Company to
maintain a surety bond with an initial amount of $3.0 million. As the
milestones are achieved over a five year schedule, the amount of the surety
bond will be reduced. To secure the insurance company's obligation under the
surety bond, the Company must maintain a letter of credit in an amount equal
to the value of the surety bond. The letter of credit agreement requires the
Company to maintain a restricted cash account for 102% of the amount of the
letter of credit. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $3.1
million in the restricted cash account.

   Litigation

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries (along with the Engelhard
Corporation) are parties to an arbitration relating to certain agreements that
existed between or among the claimant and ICC Technologies, Inc., the
Company's former name, and the Engelhard/ICC ("E/ICC") joint venture arising
from the desiccant air conditioning business that the Company and its
subsidiaries sold in 1998. The claimant has sought $8.5 million for (1) its
alleged out of pocket losses in investing in certain of E/ICC's technology;
(2) unjust enrichment resulting from the reorganization of E/ICC in 1998; and
(3) lost profits arising from the fact that it was allegedly forced to leave
the air conditioning business when the E/ICC joint venture was dissolved. The
Company intends to vigorously dispute this action.

     In August 2003, a former employee of the Company's discontinued services
subsidiary, filed a putative class action against Rare Medium, Inc. and the
Company, and certain other former subsidiaries that were merged into Rare
Medium, Inc., in Los Angeles County Superior Court captioned Joe Robuck,
individually and on behalf of all similarly situated individuals v. Rare
Medium Group, Inc., Rare Medium L.A., Inc., Rare Medium, Inc., and Rare Medium
Dallas, Inc., Los Angeles County Superior Court Case No. BC300310. The
plaintiff filed the action as a putative class action and putative
representative action asserting that: (i) certain payments were purportedly
due and went unpaid for overtime for employees with five job titles; (ii)
certain related violations of California's overtime statute were committed
when these employees were not paid such allegedly due and unpaid overtime at
the time of their termination; and (iii) certain related alleged violations of
California's unfair competition statute were committed. Plaintiff seeks to
recover for himself and all of the putative class, alleged unpaid overtime,
waiting time penalties (which can be up to 30 days' pay for each person not
paid all wages due at the time of termination), interest, attorneys' fees,
costs and disgorgement of profits garnered as a result of the alleged failure
to pay overtime. The plaintiff has served discovery requests and all of the
defendants have submitted objections and do not intend to provide substantive
responses until the Court determines whether the plaintiff must arbitrate his
individual claims. In February 2005, the Company and Rare Medium, Inc. reached
an agreement in principle with the plaintiff pursuant to which the class
action will be dismissed without prejudice. As part of the agreement, the
Company and Rare Medium, Inc. will receive releases from thirteen individuals,
each of whom will each receive an immaterial settlement payment. The
agreements are subject to the Court's dismissal of the action without
prejudice. Should Court approval not be received, the Company and Rare Medium,
Inc. expect to continue to vigorously dispute this action.

     The Company's discontinued services subsidiary is currently a defendant
in an action brought by a former landlord in New York State Supreme Court
titled Forty Four Eighteen Joint Venture v. Rare Medium, Inc., Index
602632/03. The landlord claimed unspecified amounts for breach of the lease.
In August 2005, Rare Medium, Inc. reached an agreement in principle to settle
the matter for approximately $0.3 million which is payable in October 2005. If
Rare Medium, Inc. fails to make such payment on time, the landlord's claim
against Rare Medium, Inc. would be increased to $0.6 million.

     Though it intends to continue to vigorously contest each of the
aforementioned cases to the extent not settled, the Company is unable to
predict their respective outcomes, or reasonably estimate a range of possible
losses, if any, given the current status of these cases. Additionally, from
time to time, the Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of
business. The Company is of the opinion that, based on information presently
available, the resolution of any such additional legal matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of its
operations.

Overview

     We operate our business through a group of complementary companies in the
telecommunications industry, including HNS, the MSV Joint Venture, ESP and
AfriHUB. Our acquisition of a 50% interest in HNS, a leading provider of
broadband satellite networks and services to the enterprise market and
satellite Internet access to the North American consumer market, was completed
in April 2005. We are currently engaged in a number of other separate and
unrelated preliminary discussions concerning possible joint ventures and other
transactions. We are in the early stages of such discussions and have not
entered into any definitive agreements with respect to any material
transaction, other than what has been described in this Form 10-Q. Prior to
consummating any transaction, we will have to, among other things, initiate
and satisfactorily complete a due diligence investigation, negotiate the
financial and other terms (including price) and conditions of such
transaction, obtain appropriate board of directors', regulatory and other
necessary consents and approvals and secure financing, to the extent deemed
necessary.

     In November 2004, the FCC granted the MSV Joint Venture's application to
operate an ancillary terrestrial component ("ATC") in the L-Band, subject to
certain conditions. This authorization was the first license for ATC operation
granted by the FCC, allowing the MSV Joint Venture to offer an ATC with its
commercial service. In February 2005, the FCC issued an order (the "February
2005 Order") which set forth new rules for the deployment and operation of an
ATC and provided the MSV Joint Venture with substantial additional flexibility
in its system implementation. Furthermore, the February 2005 Order allows the
MSV Joint Venture to significantly lower the cost of deploying an ATC and
increases the capacity of the MSS/ATC hybrid system. This additional
flexibility provided by the FCC's decision is expected to allow the MSV Joint
Venture to offer users affordable and reliable voice and high-speed data
communications service from virtually anywhere on the North American
continent.

     As a result of the FCC's authorizations, the value of our stake in the
MSV Joint Venture has significantly increased; however, even with ATC
authority, the ability of the MSV Joint Venture to succeed is subject to
significant risks and uncertainties, including the ability of the MSV Joint
Venture to raise the capital necessary for the implementation of the next
generation satellite system including ATC or to identify and reach an
agreement with one or more strategic partners. Additional risks include the
ability of the MSV Joint Venture to attract and retain customers, the
increased potential competition from other satellite and wireless service
providers, as well as the uncertainty with respect to the outcome of the court
challenges to the FCC's ATC orders.

     During 2004, our consolidated revenues were primarily derived from fees
generated from services performed by ESP. During the fourth quarter of 2004,
ESP experienced a significant decline in demand for its services, including
from its existing customers. As a result, in January 2005, ESP reduced its
workforce from 21 employees to four employees to compensate for the reduced
cash inflows. ESP is still performing services for a limited number of
clients; however, it is no longer seeking new client engagements and is
instead focusing on exploiting its intellectual property portfolio.

     In April 2004, we acquired a controlling interest in AfriHUB. AfriHUB's
plan was to provide instructor led and distance based technical training and
satellite based broadband Internet access and domestic and international
calling services through exclusive partnerships with certain Nigerian based
universities. While establishing centers which provide these services on two
university campuses during the fourth quarter of 2004, AfriHUB experienced
significant unanticipated delays and costs in opening these facilities, as
well as greater price sensitivity within the university communities. As a
result, AfriHUB recorded an impairment charge of approximately $0.8 million in
December 2004 and suspended its planned roll out of service to additional
campuses. While AfriHUB is actively pursuing other opportunities to provide
technical training in the Nigerian market, including establishing a facility
on a single additional campus, we have decided to cease providing funding to
AfriHUB. AfriHUB's management is exploring alternate financing opportunities,
including third party funding. However, given the uncertainty with respect to
AfriHUB's future prospects, we have recorded an impairment charge of
approximately $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005
relating to the remaining value of AfriHUB's long-lived assets.

     Since October 2004, Navigauge has been attempting to raise capital to
expand its data measurement capabilities beyond the Atlanta market. Other than
an aggregate of $1.0 million of short-term promissory notes purchased by us
from October 2004 through April 2005 and an aggregate of $1.0 million of
short-term promissory notes purchased by other existing investors during the
same time period, Navigauge has been unsuccessful in raising such capital.
Accordingly, in light of its prospects, Navigauge's board of directors is
evaluating whether to cease the operations of the company. Accordingly, during
the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized a loss of $1.3 million
relating to the impairment of the aggregate remaining carrying amount of our
equity interest in Navigauge and the short-term promissory notes. This loss is
included in loss on investments in affiliates on the condensed consolidated
statements of operations. In July 2005, Navigauge entered into a non-binding
letter of intent to sell substantially all of its assets. The sale of the
assets is subject to, among other things, completion of the buyer's due
diligence and negotiation and execution of definitive documentation
satisfactory to the parties. If the sale of the assets occurs on the terms set
forth in the non-binding letter of intent, the Company would recover a certain
amount on the short-term promissory notes with such amount being recorded as a
gain on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

     To execute its business plan, Miraxis needed to raise significant amounts
of capital in order to launch several satellites. Other than an aggregate of
$0.1 million of promissory notes purchased by us from January 2004 through
June 2005, Miraxis has been unsuccessful in raising capital. Accordingly,
Miraxis' board of directors is expected to dissolve the company in the near
future. The dissolution of Miraxis would not have a material impact on our
financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the
Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

   Revenues

     Revenues are derived primarily from fees generated from (i) contracts for
product development, consulting and engineering services performed by ESP,
including reimbursable travel and other out-of pocket expenses, (ii) licensing
the right to use certain intellectual property owned by ESP and (iii) the sale
of prepaid cards for Internet access and calling services by AfriHUB. Revenues
from services performed by ESP are recognized using the
percentage-of-completion method for fixed price contracts and as time is
incurred for time and materials contracts, provided the collection of the
resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from licensing the right
to use intellectual property are recognized as the licensee manufactures
products incorporating or using the licensed intellectual property. Licensees
typically pay a nonrefundable license issuance fee which is recognized as
revenue upon receipt. Revenues from the sale of prepaid cards for Internet
access and calling services are recognized as the customer utilizes the card
or when the card expires.

     Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $0.2
million from $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease
of $0.3 million. This decrease was due to a significant decline in demand for
ESP's services in the fourth quarter of 2004, partially offset by revenues
from license fees generated by ESP's intellectual property portfolio and
services provided by AfriHUB at centers opened on two university campuses in
Nigeria during the fourth quarter of 2004. As ESP is no longer seeking new
client engagements and continues to focus on exploiting its intellectual
property portfolio and AfriHUB suspended its planned roll out of service to
several additional campuses, we expect revenues in the remaining quarters of
2005 to remain relatively unchanged.

   Cost of Revenues

     Cost of revenues includes the salaries and related employee benefits for
ESP employees that provide billable product development, consulting and
engineering services, as well as the cost of reimbursable expenses. Cost of
revenues also includes the costs incurred by AfriHUB to provide Internet
access and calling services. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June
30, 2005 decreased to $0.2 million from $0.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $0.4 million. This decrease was due to the
reduction in ESP's workforce in January 2005, partially offset by costs
incurred by AfriHUB following the opening of two centers at two university
campuses in Nigeria during the fourth quarter of 2004. As these costs relate
to our current operations, we expect cost of revenues to remain relatively
unchanged in future period as ESP has substantially completed the reduction in
its workforce and AfriHUB has suspended its planned roll out of service to
several additional campuses.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expense

     Selling, general and administrative expense includes facilities costs,
finance, legal and other corporate costs, as well as the salaries and related
employee benefits for those employees that support such functions. Selling,
general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005
decreased to $2.1 million from $2.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2004, a decrease of $0.3 million. This decrease relates primarily to the
$0.7 million decrease in non-cash compensation expense related to the 2002 and
2001 repricing of certain stock options and a $0.2 million decrease in
expenses incurred by each of AfriHUB and ESP in the three months ended June
30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. Partially
offsetting these decreases were a $0.6 million increase in professional fees
related primarily to the registration of the common stock sold in the December
2004 private placement and several transactions which were not consummated and
a $0.1 million increase in non-cash compensation expense related to an option
to purchase our common stock issued to a consultant in June 2004. As these
costs relate to our current operations, we expect our selling, general and
administrative expense, excluding fluctuations arising from the non-cash items
noted above, to decrease in future periods as ESP has significantly reduced
the size of its operations and AfriHUB has suspended the planned roll out of
its service to several additional university campuses.

   Depreciation and Amortization Expense

     Depreciation and amortization expense consists of the depreciation of
property and equipment and the amortization of the financing costs associated
with the issuance of our Series A convertible preferred stock. Depreciation
and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased to
approximately $54,000 from approximately $35,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2004, an increase of approximately $19,000. This increase is
primarily the result of the capital expenditures made by AfriHUB to build the
network infrastructure necessary for it to launch its service. Given the
reduction in ESP's workforce and the suspension of AfriHUB's planned roll out
to several additional university campuses, we anticipate that our capital
expenditures with respect to these two entities will remain nominal in future
periods, except to the extent AfriHUB is able to secure third party funding to
finance the establishment of a single additional campus.

   Impairment Charge

     As a result of our decision to cease providing funding to AfriHUB, as of
June 30, 2005, we evaluated AfriHUB's long-lived assets for recoverability and
determined that the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining expected life
of the two established centers was less than the carrying value of the assets
relating to those centers. Accordingly, we assessed the fair value of these
assets by estimating the recoverability of the computers and equipment upon a
sale. We recognized a non-cash impairment loss relating to the computers and
the equipment as their carrying value exceeded the fair value by approximately
$0.4 million.

   Interest Income, Net

     Interest income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2005 is
comprised primarily of the interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments. Interest income, net for the three months ended June
30, 2004 is comprised primarily of the interest earned on our cash, cash
equivalents, and short-term investments and on our notes receivable from the
MSV Joint Venture, Verestar and Motient. Interest income, net for the three
months ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $0.3 million from $5.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $5.1 million. This decrease
relates primarily to the conversion of our notes receivable from the MSV Joint
Venture in November 2004 and the collection of all amounts due under the notes
receivable from Motient and Verestar in 2004.

   Equity in Earnings of Hughes Network Systems, LLC

     Following our April 2005 acquisition of a 50% interest in HNS, we account
for our interest in HNS under the equity method in accordance with FIN 46R, as
HNS is a variable interest entity as defined in FIN 46R and we are not the
primary beneficiary as defined in FIN 46R. Accordingly, we record income
relating to our proportionate share of HNS' net income. For the period
following the April 22, 2005 acquisition through June 30, 2005, we recorded
income of approximately $6.5 million.

   Equity in Loss of Mobile Satellite Ventures LP

     In November 2004, our notes receivable from the MSV Joint Venture, held
through our 80% owned MSV Investors Subsidiary, converted into approximately
23% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in the MSV Joint Venture.
Following the conversion, we account for our interest in the MSV Joint Venture
under the equity method and record expense relating to our proportionate share
of the MSV Joint Venture's net loss. For the three months ended June 30, 2005,
we recorded expense of approximately $0.8 million.

   Loss on Investment in Affiliates

     For the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded a loss on
investments in affiliates of approximately $0.2 million relating to the
impairment of the short-term promissory notes purchased from Navigauge. For
the three months ended June 30, 2004, recorded a loss on investments in
affiliates of approximately $0.4 million relating to our proportionate share
of Navigauge's net loss. We will continue to monitor the carrying value of our
remaining investments in affiliates.

   Minority Interest

     For the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded minority interest
of approximately $0.2 million relating to the equity in loss of the MSV Joint
Venture which is attributable to the group of unaffiliated third parties who
own approximately 20% of our MSV Investors Subsidiary. For the three months
ended June 30, 2004, we recorded minority interest of approximately $0.2
million relating to the $0.3 million of equity in earnings, primarily the
interest income earned on the convertible notes from the MSV Joint Venture,
which is attributable to the group of unaffiliated third parties who own
approximately 20% of our MSV Investors Subsidiary, partially offset by the
$0.1 million of equity in loss attributable to the other shareholders in
AfriHUB.

   Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

     For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded net income
attributable to common stockholders of approximately $1.3 million and $20.8
million, respectively. Included in net income attributable to common
stockholders for each of the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was
$2.5 million of dividends and accretion related to our Series A convertible
preferred stock. Dividends were accrued related to amounts payable quarterly
on our Series A convertible preferred stock and to the accretion of the
carrying amount of the Series A convertible preferred stock up to its $100 per
share face redemption amount over 13 years.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the
Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

   Revenues

     Revenues are derived primarily from fees generated from (i) contracts for
product development, consulting and engineering services performed by ESP,
including reimbursable travel and other out-of pocket expenses, (ii) licensing
the right to use certain intellectual property owned by ESP and (iii) the sale
of prepaid cards for Internet access and calling services by AfriHUB. Revenues
from services performed by ESP are recognized using the
percentage-of-completion method for fixed price contracts and as time is
incurred for time and materials contracts, provided the collection of the
resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from licensing the right
to use intellectual property are recognized as the licensee manufactures
products incorporating or using the licensed intellectual property. Licensees
typically pay a nonrefundable license issuance fee which is recognized as
revenue upon receipt. Revenues from the sale of prepaid cards for Internet
access and calling services are recognized as the customer utilizes the card
or when the card expires.

     Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $0.4 million
from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $1.0
million. This decrease was due to a significant decline in demand for ESP's
services in the fourth quarter of 2004, partially offset by revenues from
license fees generated by ESP's intellectual property portfolio and services
provided by AfriHUB at centers opened on two university campuses in Nigeria
during the fourth quarter of 2004. As ESP is no longer seeking new client
engagements and continues to focus on exploiting its intellectual property
portfolio and AfriHUB has suspended its planned roll out of service to several
additional campuses, we expect revenues in the remaining quarters of 2005 to
remain relatively unchanged.

   Cost of Revenues

     Cost of revenues includes the salaries and related employee benefits for
ESP employees that provide billable product development, consulting and
engineering services, as well as the cost of reimbursable expenses. Cost of
revenues also includes the costs incurred by AfriHUB to provide Internet
access and calling services. Cost of revenues for the six months ended June
30, 2005 decreased to $0.4 million from $1.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2004, a decrease of $0.9 million. This decrease was due to the
reduction in ESP's workforce in January 2005, partially offset by costs
incurred by AfriHUB following the opening of two centers at two university
campuses in Nigeria during the fourth quarter of 2004. As these costs relate
to our current operations, we expect cost of revenues to remain relatively
unchanged in future period as ESP has substantially completed the reduction in
its workforce and AfriHUB has suspended its planned roll out of service to
several additional campuses.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expense

     Selling, general and administrative expense includes facilities costs,
finance, legal and other corporate costs, as well as the salaries and related
employee benefits for those employees that support such functions. Selling,
general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005
increased to $4.7 million from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004, an increase of $0.6 million. This increase relates primarily to the $0.6
million increase in professional fees related primarily to the registration of
the common stock sold in the December 2004 private placement and several
transactions which were not consummated, a $0.4 million increase in non-cash
compensation expense related to an option to purchase our common stock issued
to a consultant in June 2004 and a $0.3 million increase in expenses incurred
be AfriHUB in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2004. Partially offsetting these increases were a $0.6
million decrease in non-cash compensation expense related to the 2002 and 2001
repricing of certain stock options and a $0.4 million decrease in expenses
incurred by ESP in the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2004. As these costs relate to our current
operations, we expect our selling, general and administrative expense,
excluding fluctuations arising from the non-cash items noted above, to
decrease in future periods as ESP has significantly reduced the size of its
operations and AfriHUB has suspended the planned roll out of its service to
several additional university campuses.

   Depreciation and Amortization Expense

     Depreciation and amortization expense consists of the depreciation of
property and equipment and the amortization of the financing costs associated
with the issuance of our Series A convertible preferred stock. Depreciation
and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to
approximately $0.1 million from approximately $50,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2004, an increase of approximately $59,000. This increase is
primarily the result of the capital expenditures made by AfriHUB to build the
network infrastructure necessary for it to launch its service. Given the
reduction in ESP's workforce and the suspension of AfriHUB's planned roll out
to several additional university campuses, we anticipate that our capital
expenditures with respect to these two entities will remain nominal in future
periods, except to the extent AfriHUB is able to secure third party funding to
finance the establishment of a single additional campus.

   Impairment Charge

     As a result of our decision to cease providing funding to AfriHUB, as of
June 30, 2005, we evaluated AfriHUB's long-lived assets for recoverability and
determined that the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining expected life
of the two established centers was less than the carrying value of the assets
relating to those centers. Accordingly, we assessed the fair value of these
assets by estimating the recoverability of the computers and equipment upon a
sale. We recognized a non-cash impairment loss relating to the computers and
equipment as their carrying value exceeded the fair value by approximately
$0.4 million.

   Interest Income, Net

     Interest income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2005 is comprised
primarily of the interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments. Interest income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is
comprised primarily of the interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments and on our notes receivable from the MSV Joint Venture,
Verestar and Motient. Interest income, net for the six months ended June 30,
2005 decreased to $0.9 million from $7.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2004, a decrease of $6.7 million. This decrease relates primarily to the
conversion of our notes receivable from the MSV Joint Venture in November 2004
and the collection of all amounts due under the notes receivable from Motient
and Verestar in 2004.

   Equity in Earnings of Hughes Network Systems, LLC

     Following our April 2005 acquisition of a 50% interest in HNS, we account
for our interest in HNS under the equity method in accordance with FIN 46R, as
HNS is a variable interest entity as defined in FIN 46R and we are not the
primary beneficiary as defined in FIN 46R. Accordingly, we record income
relating to our proportionate share of HNS' net income. For the period
following the April 22, 2005 acquisition through June 30, 2005, we recorded
income of approximately $6.5 million.

   Equity in Loss of Mobile Satellite Ventures LP

     In November 2004, our notes receivable from the MSV Joint Venture, held
through our 80% owned MSV Investors Subsidiary, converted into approximately
23% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in the MSV Joint Venture.
Following the conversion, we account for our interest in the MSV Joint Venture
under the equity method and record expense relating to our proportionate share
of the MSV Joint Venture's net loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2005,
we recorded expense of approximately $4.5 million.

   Loss on Investment in Affiliates

     For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded a loss on investments
in affiliates of approximately $1.6 million consisting of $1.3 million
relating to the impairment of the short-term promissory notes purchased from
Navigauge and $0.3 million relating to our proportionate share of Navigauge's
net loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, recorded a loss on
investments in affiliates of approximately $0.5 million relating to our
proportionate share of Navigauge's net loss. We will continue to monitor the
carrying value of our remaining investments in affiliates.

   Minority Interest

     For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded minority interest of
approximately $0.9 million relating to the equity in loss of the MSV Joint
Venture which is attributable to the group of unaffiliated third parties who
own approximately 20% of our MSV Investors Subsidiary. For the six months
ended June 30, 2004, we recorded minority interest of approximately $0.5
million relating to the $0.6 million of equity in earnings, primarily the
interest income earned on the convertible notes from the MSV Joint Venture,
which is attributable to the group of unaffiliated third parties who own
approximately 20% of our MSV Investors Subsidiary, partially offset by the
$0.1 million of equity in loss attributable to the other shareholders in
AfriHUB.

   Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders

     For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded net loss attributable
to common stockholders of approximately $7.7 million. For the six months ended
June 30, 2004, we recorded net income attributable to common stockholders of
approximately $18.4 million. Included in net (loss) income attributable to
common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $5.0
million and $4.9 million, respectively, of dividends and accretion related to
our Series A convertible preferred stock. Dividends were accrued related to
amounts payable quarterly on our Series A convertible preferred stock and to
the accretion of the carrying amount of the Series A convertible preferred
stock up to its $100 per share face redemption amount over 13 years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     We had approximately $35.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments as of June 30, 2005. Cash used in operating activities
was approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and
resulted primarily from cash used for general corporate overhead including
payroll and professional fees.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash used in investing
activities, excluding purchases and sales of short-term investments, was $53.6
million and resulted primarily from the $50.0 million used to purchase our 50%
interest in HNS. We do not have any future funding commitments with respect to
any of our investments.

   Hughes Network System Transaction

     On April 22, 2005, we completed the acquisition of 50% of the equity
interests of HNS for $50.0 million in cash and 300,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. Immediately prior to the acquisition, HNSI, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DIRECTV, contributed substantially all of the assets and certain
liabilities of its very small aperture terminal, mobile satellite and carrier
businesses, as well as the certain portions of its SPACEWAY Ka-band satellite
communications platform that is under development, to HNS, which at the time
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNSI. In consideration for the contribution
of assets by HNSI, HNS paid HNSI $190.7 million of cash. This payment
represents the $201.0 million stated in the agreement less an estimated
purchase price adjustment of $10.3 million, which is subject to further
adjustment depending principally upon the closing value of HNS' working
capital (as defined in the agreement). Concurrently, HNS incurred $325.0
million of term indebtedness and obtained a $50.0 million revolving credit
facility. We and HNSI have each pledged our respective equity interest in HNS
to secure the obligations of HNS under the term indebtedness. Following the
acquisition, we serve as the managing member of HNS. We account for our
interest in HNS under the equity method in accordance with FIN 46R, as we are
not the primary beneficiary, as defined in FIN 46R, of HNS.

   Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Dividend

     In accordance with the terms of our preferred stock, the holders are
entitled to receive quarterly cash dividends commencing on July 1, 2004. The
quarterly payment of approximately $1.4 million, for the three months ended
December 31, 2004, was declared and paid on January 13, 2005. The quarterly
payment of approximately $1.4 million, for the three months ended March 31,
2005, was declared on April 18, 2005 and paid on April 22, 2005. The quarterly
payment of approximately $1.4 million, for the three months ended June 30,
2005, was declared and paid on July 22, 2005. The aggregate annual dividend
payment will be approximately $5.6 million through the mandatory redemption on
June 30, 2012 or such earlier time as the terms of the preferred stock are
renegotiated.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment"
("SFAS No. 123R"), a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123R requires entities
to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments to employees,
including stock options, based on the estimated fair value of the instrument
on the date it is granted. The expense will be recognized over the vesting
period of the award. SFAS No. 123R is effective for annual periods beginning
after June 15, 2005 and provides entities two transition methods. Under the
modified prospective method, compensation expense is recognized beginning with
the effective date for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective
date that are unvested on the effective date. The modified retrospective
method is a variation of the modified prospective method, except entities can
restate all prior periods presented or prior interim period in the year of
adoption using the amounts previously presented in the pro forma disclosure
required by SFAS No. 123. As we currently account for share-based payments
using the intrinsic value method as allowed by APB Opinion No. 25, the
adoption of the fair value method under SFAS No. 123R will have an impact on
our results of operations. However, the extent of the impact cannot be
predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based
payments granted in the future. Had we adopted SFAS No. 123R in prior periods,
the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123
as described in the disclosure of pro forma net (loss) income and loss per
share in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

   Interest Rate Risk

     As of June 30, 2005, we had $38.5 million of cash, cash equivalents,
restricted cash and short-term cash investments. These cash, cash equivalents,
restricted cash and short-term cash investments are subject to market risk due
to changes in interest rates. In accordance with our investment policy, we
diversify our investments among United States Treasury securities and other
high credit quality debt instruments that we believe to be low risk. We are
averse to principal loss and seek to preserve our invested funds by limiting
default risk and market risk.

   Foreign Currency Risk

     Through June 30, 2005, our results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows have not been materially affected by changes in the relative value
of non-U.S. currencies to the U.S. dollars. Financial statements of AfriHUB's
Nigerian operations are prepared using the Nigerian Naira as the functional
currency. As we do not use derivative financial instruments to limit our
exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate with the Naira, we may
experience gains or losses in future periods. The impact of a hypothetical 10%
adverse change in exchange rates on the fair value of Naira denominated assets
and liabilities would be an estimated loss of less than $0.1 million as of
June 30, 2005.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and
principal accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by
this report. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and
principal accounting officer have concluded that, as of the end of such
period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording,
processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act.

   Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

                                    PART II

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     We and certain of our subsidiaries (along with the Engelhard Corporation)
are parties to an arbitration relating to certain agreements that existed
between or among the claimant and ICC Technologies, Inc., our former name, and
the Engelhard/ICC ("E/ICC") joint venture arising from the desiccant air
conditioning business that we and our subsidiaries sold in 1998. The claimant
has sought $8.5 million for (a) its alleged out of pocket losses in investing
in certain of E/ICC's technology, (b) unjust enrichment resulting from the
reorganization of E/ICC in 1998, and (c) lost profits arising from the fact
that it was allegedly forced to leave the air conditioning business when the
E/ICC joint venture was dissolved. We intend to vigorously dispute this
action.

     In August 2003, a former California employee of our discontinued services
subsidiary, filed a putative class action against Rare Medium, Inc. and the
Company, and certain other former subsidiaries that were merged into Rare
Medium, Inc., in Los Angeles County Superior Court captioned Joe Robuck,
individually and on behalf of all similarly situated individuals v. Rare
Medium Group, Inc., Rare Medium L.A., Inc., Rare Medium, Inc., and Rare Medium
Dallas, Inc., Los Angeles County Superior Court Case No. BC300310. The
plaintiff filed the action as a putative class action and putative
representative action asserting that: (i) certain payments were purportedly
due and went unpaid for overtime for employees with five job titles; (ii)
certain related violations of California's overtime statute were committed
when these employees were not paid such allegedly due and unpaid overtime at
the time of their termination; and (iii) certain related alleged violations of
California's unfair competition statute were committed. Plaintiff seeks to
recover for himself and all of the putative class, alleged unpaid overtime,
waiting time penalties (which can be up to 30 days' pay for each person not
paid all wages due at the time of termination), interest, attorneys' fees,
costs and disgorgement of profits garnered as a result of the alleged failure
to pay overtime. In February 2005, we reached an agreement in principle with
the plaintiff's counsel pursuant to which the class action will be dismissed
without prejudice. As part of the agreement, we will receive releases from
thirteen individuals, each of whom will each receive an immaterial settlement
payment. The agreements are subject to the Court's dismissal of the action
without prejudice. Should Court approval not be received, we expect to
continue to vigorously dispute this action.

     Our discontinued services subsidiary is currently a defendant in an
action brought by a former landlord in New York State Supreme Court titled
Forty Four Eighteen Joint Venture v. Rare Medium, Inc., Index 602632/03. The
landlord claimed unspecified amounts for breach of the lease. In August 2005,
Rare Medium, Inc. reached an agreement in principle to settle the matter for
approximately $0.3 million which is payable in October 2005. If Rare Medium,
Inc. fails to make such payment on time, the landlord's claim against Rare
Medium, Inc. would be increased to $0.6 million.
