                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (1) General

        These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
        accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
        financial information and with the instructions to 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, all
        adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature necessary to present
        fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as
        of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
        have been made. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to
        conform with the current year's presentation. Operating results for the
        three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily
        indicative of the operating results for the full year. For further
        information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
        included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
        ended December 31, 1999 (the "Form 10-K").

    (2) New Accounting Pronouncement

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
        133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
        SFAS No. 133 requires all derivates to be recorded as either assets or
        liabilities and the instruments to be measured at fair value. Gains or
        losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives are to
        be recognized immediately or deferred depending on the use of the
        derivative and whether or not it qualifies as a hedge. PanAmSat will
        adopt SFAS No. 133 by January 1, 2001, as required and management is
        currently assessing the impact of this statement.

    (3) Satellite Developments

        Reference is made to "Item 1. - Business - Overview -- The Satellites; -
        Satellite Procurement and Launch Arrangements" and "Item 7. Management's
        Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
        - Satellite Deployment Plan and Planned Satellites" in the Form 10-K for
        a detailed description of the Company's satellite network and satellite
        deployment plan.

        In April 2000, PanAmSat commenced service on the Galaxy XI satellite.
        During the second quarter of 2000, PanAmSat successfully launched and
        commenced service on the Galaxy IVR satellite and completed the planned
        retirement of SBS-4. On July 28, 2000, PanAmSat successfully launched
        PAS-9, which brought the Company's total fleet of satellites to 21.
        PanAmSat currently expects to launch PAS-1R in the fourth quarter of
        2000 and PAS-10 in the first quarter of 2001.

                              PANAMSAT CORPORATION

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues. Revenues were $322.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000, compared to revenues of $200.4 million for the same period in 1999.
Revenues included $123.4 million of new sales-type lease transactions executed
during the second quarter of 2000 for which there were no comparable
transactions in 1999. Revenues, excluding new sales-type leases, decreased $1.6
million, or 1%, to $198.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
$200.4 million for the same period in 1999. Revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were $621.4 million, an increase of $227.5 million, or 58%, from
$393.9 million for the same period in 1999. Revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 included $217.2 million of new sales and sales-type lease
transactions for which there were no comparable transactions in 1999. Revenues,
excluding sales and sales-type leases, increased $10.3 million, or 3%, to $404.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $393.9 million for the same
period in 1999. These changes are principally a result of changes in the types
of service agreements that the Company provides.

     Revenues can be analyzed based on the type of service offered. The Company
provides video services which are primarily full-time, part-time and occasional
satellite services for the transmission of news, sports, entertainment and
educational programming worldwide. The Company also provides telecommunications
services which support satellite-based networks that relay voice, video and data
communications within individual countries, throughout regions and on a global
basis. Video services revenues, excluding the revenue from new sales-type lease
activity, were $133.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, a
decrease of 6% from the same period in 1999. Video services revenues, excluding
the revenue from new sales-type lease activity, were $274.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of 2% from the same period in 1999. The
decrease in video services revenues for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000 was due primarily to the conversion of several operating lease
agreements into new sales-type lease agreements during 2000 and the previously
reported termination of a contract for a direct-to-home platform in India.
Telecommunications services revenues were $52.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 11% from the same period in 1999.
Telecommunications services revenues, excluding the revenue from outright sales
activity, were $103.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an
increase of 13% from the same period in 1999. The increase in telecommunications
services revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 was
due primarily to the growth in data and Internet-related service agreements.

     Revenues can also be analyzed based on the type of agreement. Revenues from
sales-type leases increased to $129.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000 from $6.0 million for the same period in 1999. Revenues from outright
sales and sales-type leases increased to $228.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $12.1 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in
revenues from outright sales




                                       12
<PAGE>


and sales-type leases for the three and six month periods is due primarily to
the revenues from new sales and sales-type lease transactions executed during
2000. Revenues from outright sales and sales-type leases represent substantial
long-term commitments for services, and revenues from this category of
transactions are subject to greater variation from period to period than are
operating lease revenues. Revenues from operating leases of transponders,
satellite services and other decreased $1.7 million, or 1%, to $192.7 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $194.4 million for the same period
in 1999. The primary factors contributing to the decrease, after giving effect
to increases in telecommunications revenue, were the conversion of several
operating lease agreements into new sales-type lease agreements in the second
quarter of 2000 and the previously reported termination of a contract for a
direct-to-home platform in India. Revenues from operating leases of
transponders, satellite services and other increased $10.9 million, or 3%, to
$392.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $381.8 million for the same
period in 1999. The increase in revenues from operating leases of transponders,
satellite services and other for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 is due
primarily to increased available transponder capacity on new satellites placed
in service since the first quarter of 1999 offset by the conversion of several
operating lease agreements into new sales-type lease agreements in 2000.

     Cost of Outright Sales and Sales-Type Leases. Cost of outright sales and
sales-type leases were $40.5 million and $85.8 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, due to the execution of new sales and
sales-type lease agreements. There were no comparable costs for either period in
1999.

     Leaseback Expense, Net of Deferred Gain. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, the Company recorded no leaseback expense, net of deferred gain
as compared to $7.7 million and $15.4 million for the same periods in 1999,
respectively. The decrease is attributable to the exercise by the Company of
certain sale-leaseback early buy-out options during 1999.

     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
$13.1 million, or 19%, to $81.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
from $68.5 million for the same period in 1999. Depreciation and amortization
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $19.1 million, or 14%, to
$155.3 million from $136.2 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in
depreciation and amortization for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2000 is due primarily to depreciation expense associated with the addition of
four new satellites placed in service and depreciation expense on transponders
acquired through the exercise of sale-leaseback early buy-outs.

     Direct Operating and Selling, General and Administrative Costs. Direct
operating and selling, general and administrative costs increased $18.5 million,
or 44%, to $60.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $41.8
million for the same period in 1999. Direct operating and selling, general and
administrative costs increased $31.6 million, or 39%, to $113.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 from $81.6 million for the same period in 1999.
The increases are due primarily to direct costs




                                       13
<PAGE>


associated with the addition of new satellites placed in service and costs
associated with the continued growth of the Company.

     Income from Operations. Income from operations was $139.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $57.4 million or 70%, from $82.4
million for the same period in 1999. Income from operations was $267.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $106.4 million or 66%,
from $160.7 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in income from
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 is due
primarily to the gross profit associated with the new outright sales and
sales-type lease activity during 2000.

     Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net increased $3.8 million, or
13%, to $32.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from $28.3
million for the same period in 1999. Interest expense, net increased $3.9
million, or 7%, to $56.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from
$52.7 million for the same period in 1999. These increases are due primarily to
an increase in interest rates during 2000.

     Income Taxes. Income taxes increased $25.0 million, or 106%, to $48.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from $23.5 million for the
same period in 1999. Income taxes increased $47.7 million, or 101%, to $94.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $47.0 million for the same
period in 1999. The increase in income taxes for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2000 is due primarily to the gross profit from new outright sales
and sales-type lease activity.

     Satellite Developments. Reference is made to "Item 1. - Business - Overview
- The Satellites; - Satellite Procurement and Launch Arrangements" and "Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Satellite Deployment Plan and Planned Satellites" in the Form 10-K
for a detailed description of the Company's satellite network and satellite
deployment plan.

     In April 2000, PanAmSat commenced service on the Galaxy XI satellite.
During the second quarter of 2000, PanAmSat successfully launched and commenced
service on the Galaxy IVR satellite and completed the planned retirement of
SBS-4. On July 28, 2000, PanAmSat successfully launched PAS-9, which brought the
Company's total fleet of satellites to 21. PanAmSat currently expects to launch
PAS-1R in the fourth quarter of 2000 and PAS-10 in the first quarter of 2001.

     Financial Condition. In addition to a term loan in the amount of $1.725
billion from Hughes Electronics Corporation, an affiliate of the Company, at
June 30, 2000 the Company also had long-term indebtedness of $796.6 million
(comprised primarily of $750 million of public notes and $46.5 million of notes
assumed in connection with the exercise of an early buy-out opportunity under a
sale-leaseback transaction).

     The significant cash outlays for the Company will continue to be primarily
capital expenditures related to the construction and launch of satellites, debt
service costs and potential acquisitions. The Company now has three satellites
under various stages of




                                       14
<PAGE>


development and intends to implement its Internet initiative, NET/36, for which
the Company has budgeted capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2000, the Company
will require approximately $220 million in remaining payments to construct,
insure and launch the satellites and plans to invest up to $250 million in
capital and operating expenses over the next two years to deploy NET/36. The
Company expects that the largest portion of its investment in NET/36 will be
used to deploy PanAmSat-owned antennas and servers at high-speed Internet
service providers, including cable headends and digital subscriber line provider
sites.

     Assuming satellites in development are successfully launched, services on
the satellites commence on the schedule currently contemplated and NET/36 is
deployed as and when expected, the Company believes that amounts available under
its $500 million revolving credit facility with certain lenders and Citicorp
USA, Inc. as administrative agent (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), vendor
financing, future cash flow from operations and cash on hand will be sufficient
to fund its operations and its remaining costs for the construction and launch
of satellites currently under development for the next twelve months and for the
deployment of NET/36 for the next twenty-four months. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company's assumptions with respect to costs for future
construction and launch of its satellites and costs to deploy NET/36 will be
correct, or that amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility, vendor
financing, future cash flow from operations and cash on hand will be sufficient
to cover any shortfalls in funding for (i) launches caused by launch failures,
(ii) cost overruns, (iii) delays, (iv) capacity shortages, (v) NET/36 technical
integration problems, (vi) additional costs associated with NET/36 strategic
relationships or (vii) other unanticipated expenses. In addition, if the Company
were to consummate any strategic transactions or undertake any other projects
requiring significant capital expenditures, it may be required to seek
additional financing. If circumstances were to require the Company to incur
additional indebtedness, the ability of the Company to incur any such additional
indebtedness would be subject to the terms of the Company's outstanding
indebtedness. The failure to obtain such financing could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operations and its ability to accomplish its business
plan.

     Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $210.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $216.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. The decrease in 2000 was primarily attributable to net changes in
working capital items which included income tax payments of $26.1 million in the
six months of 2000 as compared to $9.3 million for the comparable period in
1999.

     Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $172.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, from $470.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. The decrease in 2000 was primarily attributable to lower capital
expenditures in 2000 for satellite systems under development and to no
comparable sale-leaseback early buy-out transactions in the first six months of
2000.

     Net cash used in financing activities was $11.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$83.1 million for




                                       15
<PAGE>


the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in 2000 was primarily due to
lower net borrowings as a result of the lower level of cash required to fund
capital expenditures and early buy-out opportunities in 2000.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Market Risk. Other that as described below, there have been no material
changes regarding the Company's market risk position from the information
provided in the Form 10-K. The potential fair value change resulting from a
hypothetical 10% fluctuation in interest rates related to PanAmSat's sales-type
receivable balances would be approximately $9.8 million as of June 30, 2000.
