(3) Stock-Based Compensation



At
September 30, 2005, Holdings had two stock-based employee compensation plans in which the Company participates. The Company accounts for the plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees, and related Interpretations. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation. The fair value of options granted during the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was calculated using an assumed volatility of 40 percent and 107 percent, respectively.

September
2005 De-leveraging Transaction



In September 2005, the Company
retired $15.0 million of its 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2010. As a result of the note retirement, the Company incurred a $2.2 million charge in Other income (expense) in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three
month period ended September 30, 2005. The de-leveraging loss is comprised of a redemption premium of $1.8 million and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.4 million.



(5) Commitments and Contingencies



(a) DARS License



The Companys DARS license is valid for eight years upon successful launch and orbital insertion of the satellites and can be extended by the FCC. The DARS license
requires that the Company comply with a construction and launch schedule specified by the FCC for each of the first two authorized satellites, which has occurred. The FCC has the authority to revoke the authorizations and in connection with such
revocation could exercise its authority to rescind the Companys license. The Company believes that the exercise of such authority to rescind the license is unlikely. The Company has requested and received FCC authority to launch additional
satellites for use in its system and believes that future requests would likely be approved. In February 2004, the Company applied to the FCC for authority to launch and operate XM-3 and XM-4 and to collocate XM-1 with XM-2 at the 115° West
Longitude orbital location. The FCC granted this application in January 2005. In February 2005, XM-3 was successfully launched into orbit. During April 2005, XM-1 was successfully collocated with XM-2 in its orbital slot. Additionally, the FCC has
not yet issued final rules permitting the Company to deploy its terrestrial repeaters to fill gaps in satellite coverage. The



Company is operating its repeaters on a non-interference basis pursuant to a grant of special temporary authority from the FCC. This grant originally expired March 18,
2002; however, on March 11, 2002, the Company applied for an extension of this special temporary authority and the Company can continue to operate its terrestrial repeaters pursuant to the special temporary authority pending a final determination on
this extension request. This authority is currently being challenged by operators of terrestrial wireless systems who have asserted that the Companys repeaters may cause interference. The Company believes it is not likely that an FCC order
would materially impact the terrestrial repeater system design currently in operation.



(b) Satellite System



Satellite Deployment Plan. The Company launched its first two satellites, XM-1 and XM-2 in the first half of 2001 prior to the commencement of commercial operations. These satellites suffer from a progressive solar array power
degradation issue that is common to the first six Boeing 702 class satellites in orbit  XM-1 and XM-2 were the fifth and sixth Boeing 702s launched. In

February 2005, the Company launched XM-3. XM-3 was placed into one of the Companys orbital slots and beginning in
April 2005 is being used to transmit the XM service. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company collocated XM-1 with XM-2 in the other orbital slot. XM has a fourth satellite (XM-4) under construction; this satellite will be
available for launch in early 2006. XM intends to launch XM-4 in the second half of 2006. The exact launch date is subject to launch vehicle availability and other business priorities. During the second quarter of 2005, XM entered into a contract to
construct a spare satellite (XM-5), expected to be completed by the end of 2007, for use as a ground spare or to be available for launch in the event there is a launch or early operations failure of XM-4.



With this plan and continued monitoring of the power degradation situation in XM-1 and XM-2,
the Company believes it will be able to launch additional satellites prior to the time the solar array output power degradation issue might cause the Companys broadcast signal strength to fall below minimum acceptable levels.



Satellite Insurance Settlements  XM-1 and XM-2. The Company had secured launch
and in-orbit insurance policies with a large group of insurers (both U.S. and foreign) providing coverage for losses relating to XM-1 and XM-2 where such losses arise from an occurrence within the first five years after launch. Under these policies,
the aggregate sum insured in the event of constructive total loss of both satellites equaled $400 million ($200 million per satellite), and lesser amounts would be payable in the event of a partial loss. In the event of constructive total loss, the
amount of recovery would be reduced by any salvage value, which could include a percentage of the revenues from the Companys continuing use of the satellites. In September 2001, the Company notified its insurers of a progressive solar array
power degradation problem noted above and, in February 2003, the Company filed Proofs of Loss with its insurers.



In July 2004, the Company reached agreement with insurers covering 80 percent of the aggregate sum insured at a settlement rate equal to 44.5 percent of the proportionate
amount covered by each of these insurers, representing a total recovery of approximately $142 million from these insurers. This settlement resolves any issues about the amount of loss sustained, includes a waiver by the settling insurance companies
of any reductions based on salvage value, terminates any further risk to the settling insurers under the policies and ends any other rights the settling insurers might have with regard to XM-1 and XM-2 or revenues generated by the Companys
continuing use of those satellites. The Company has collected all amounts due under the settlement. The portion of the insurance proceeds related to claim payments was recorded as a reduction to the carrying values of XM-1 and XM-2.



In August 2004, the Company filed for arbitration to collect the remaining 20 percent of the
sum insured utilizing the third-party dispute resolution procedures under the policy. Any amounts received from this arbitration proceeding will be recorded as a reduction to the carrying values of XM-1 and XM-2.



Satellite Contracts and Other Costs  XM-1, XM-2, XM-3, XM-4 and XM-5.As of
September 30, 2005, total payments made relating to these satellites approximates $662.5 million, which includes manufacturing and launch costs, financing charges, in-orbit performance incentives and additional costs for collocation, under the
satellite contracts related to XM-1, XM-2, XM-3, XM-4 and XM-5. The Company originally entered into its satellite contract with Boeing Satellite Systems International, Inc. (BSS) in March 1998, and has subsequently amended the contract,
including in July 2003, December 2003, December 2004, January 2005 and July 2005. Under the satellite contract, BSS has delivered three satellites in-orbit, XM-1, XM-2 and XM-3, supplied ground equipment and software used in the XM Radio system,
provided certain launch and operations support services, and is constructing the XM-4 satellite. In August 2003, Holdings contracted with Sea Launch Company, LLC (Sea Launch) for the associated launch services for the XM-4 satellite,
which is currently scheduled for launch in the second half of 2006. In June 2005, Holdings awarded a contract to Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) for the design and construction of its fifth satellite, XM-5. Construction of XM-5 is expected to
be completed by the end of 2007.



XM-1 and XM-2. The
XM-1 and XM-2 satellites were successfully collocated in one orbital slot during the second quarter of 2005.



XM-3. In February 2005, the Company launched its XM-3 satellite. XM-3 was modified to correct the solar array degradation issues experienced by
XM-1 and XM-2, as well as to optimize XM-3 for the specific orbital slot into which it has been placed. As of September 30, 2005, with respect to XM-3, the Company has deferred payment of construction costs of $15 million at an interest rate of 8
percent through January 2007. BSS has the right to earn performance incentive payments of up to $25.9 million, excluding interest, based on the in-orbit performance of XM-3 over its design life of fifteen years.



In connection with the launch of XM-3, the Company acquired launch and in-orbit insurance in
January 2005. The in-orbit insurance is for a one year period from February 2005 through February 2006. The Company plans to continue insuring XM-3 beyond February 2006, subject to cost and availability of in-orbit insurance.

XM-4. Under its contracts with BSS and Sea Launch, Holdings has committed to pay a total of $186.5
million for XM-4 and the associated launch services, excluding in-orbit performance incentives and financing charges on certain amounts deferred prior to launch. As of September 30, 2005, satellite construction costs aggregating approximately $132.3
million had been incurred, of which $26.1 million were paid, $1.9 million are due in 2005 and $104.3 million are deferred until first quarter 2006. Interest on the deferred amount accrues monthly at a rate of 10.75 percent per annum and is being
paid on a current basis, pursuant to the December 2003 amendment, which extended the deferral into early 2006. The remaining portion of the fixed costs for XM-4 and the associated launch services are payable during construction with the last payment
due one month following launch.



After launch of XM-4, BSS has the right to
earn performance incentive payments of up to $12 million, plus interest, over the first twelve years of in-orbit life, up to $7.5 million for high performance during the first fifteen years of in-orbit life, and up to $10 million for continued high
performance across the five year period beyond the fifteen year design life.



XM-5. Upon the award of the XM-5 contract, SS/L began construction of the satellite. Approximately two years before, on July 15, 2003, SS/L, its parent, Loral Space & Communications Ltd. and certain other
affiliated entities (collectively, the Debtors) commenced voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases under the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court), which cases
are being jointly administered under lead case number 03-41710. Pursuant to an order entered on July 20, 2005, the Court approved Holdings contract with SS/L. On August 1, 2005, the Court entered an order confirming the Debtors Fourth
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Reorganization Plan). The Reorganization Plan has not yet become effective. The Debtors anticipate that the Reorganization Plan will become effective,
after certain conditions are satisfied, and that the Debtors will emerge from Chapter 11 in the fourth quarter of 2005. Pursuant to the terms of Holdings contract with SS/L, Holdings has been making construction payments on XM-5 into an escrow
account until the Reorganization Plan becomes effective.



Satellite Contract
 Warrant to BSS. Pursuant to Holdings satellite contract for XM-4, it issued a warrant to BSS in July 2003 to purchase 500,000 shares of its Class A common stock at $13.524 per share. The fair value of this warrant was determined to
be approximately $5.8 million using a Black-Scholes based methodology and is included in System under construction.



Satellite Contract  Warrant to SS/L. Pursuant to Holdings satellite contract for XM-5, it issued a warrant to SS/L to purchase 400,000 shares of its
Class A common stock at $32.42 per share. The fair value of this warrant was determined to be approximately $4.9 million using a Black-Scholes based methodology and is included in System under construction.



(c) GM Distribution Agreement



The Company has a long-term distribution agreement with OnStar, a subsidiary of General
Motors. During the term of the agreement, which expires twelve years from the commencement date of the Companys commercial operations, GM has agreed to distribute the service to the exclusion of other S-band satellite digital radio
services. The Company will also have a non-exclusive right to arrange for the installation of XM radios included in OnStar systems in non-GM vehicles that are sold for use in the United States. The agreement was amended in June 2002 and
January 2003 to clarify certain terms in the agreement, including extending the dates when certain initial payments are due to GM and confirming the date of the Companys commencement of commercial operations, and to provide that the Company
may make certain payments to GM in the form of indebtedness or shares of Holdings Class A common stock. The Companys total cash payment obligations were not increased. The Company has significant annual fixed payment obligations to GM.
As a result of the June 2002 amendment, the Company commenced recognizing these fixed payment obligations for the period ending through November 2005, which approximate $63.6 million, on a straight-line basis. However, due to the January 2003
amendment to the Distribution Agreement and GMs roll out plans which demonstrated a likelihood of GM exceeding minimum installation targets, in 2003 the Company began prospectively recognizing these fixed payments due under the Distribution
Agreement, which approximate $397.3 million, on a straight-line basis through September 2013, the remaining term of the agreement. The Company issued a 10% Senior Secured Discount Convertible Note due 2009 with an aggregate principal amount of $89.0
million, to OnStar in lieu of making these fixed payments to OnStar for amounts otherwise due in 2003 through 2006. The fixed payments due to be paid in years 2007, 2008 and 2009 are $80.7 million, $106.7 million and $132.9 million, respectively. In
February 2004, the Company completed the redemption of the note through repayment of a portion with cash and GMs conversion of a portion of the principal amount into Holdings Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2005, the Company
has $22.5 million of current prepaid expense to related party and $5.6 million of non-current prepaid expense to related party in connection with the guaranteed fixed payments.



In order to encourage the broad installation of XM radios in GM vehicles, the Company has agreed to subsidize a portion of the cost of XM
radios, and to make incentive payments to GM when the owners of GM vehicles with installed XM radios become subscribers to the Companys service. The Company must also share with GM a percentage of the subscription revenue attributable to GM
vehicles with installed XM radios, which percentage increases until there are more than eight million GM vehicles with installed XM radios (at which point the percentage remains constant). During the second quarter of 2004, a

clarification was agreed to by XM and OnStar relating to the implementation of certain aspects of revenue sharing
contained within the distribution agreement. Accordingly, the revenue share expense is recognized as the related subscription revenue is earned. As of September 30, 2005, the Company has $24.1 million of current prepaid expense to related party and
$8.9 million of non-current prepaid expense to related party in connection with this revenue sharing arrangement. As part of the agreement, OnStar provides certain call-center related services directly to XM subscribers who are also OnStar customers
and the Company must reimburse OnStar for these XM-related call center services. The agreement is subject to renegotiation at any time based upon the installation of radios that are compatible with a common receiver platform or capable of receiving
Sirius Satellite Radios service. The agreement is subject to renegotiation if as of November 2005, and at two-year intervals thereafter, GM does not achieve and maintain specified installation levels of GM vehicles capable of receiving the
Companys service. The specified installation level of 1,240,000 units by November 2005 was achieved in 2004. The specified installation levels in future years will increase by the lesser of 600,000 units per year or amounts proportionate to
target market shares in the satellite digital radio service market. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of any such renegotiations. GMs exclusivity obligations will discontinue if, by November 2007 and at two-year intervals
thereafter, the Company fails to achieve and maintain specified minimum market share levels in the satellite digital radio service market. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred total costs of $151.4
million and $120.8 million, respectively, under the distribution agreement.



(d) Holdings



During the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, Holdings provided funding to the Company of $95.0 million and $145.0 million, respectively.



In August 2001, the Companys facility lease for its corporate headquarters was amended and Holdings became the Companys new landlord. In September 2005,
Holdings leased a second corporate headquarters building to the Company. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred costs relating to the rental of office space from Holdings of $1.3 million and $1.1 million,
respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred costs relating to the rental of office space from Holdings of $3.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.



(6) Strategic Investments and Relationships



In September 2005, Canadas Federal Cabinet approved the grant of a broadcasting
license by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to Canadian Satellite Radio Inc. (CSR), XMs strategic partner in Canada. CSR plans to offer satellite radio service to Canadians from
coast-to-coast consisting of a number of XMs commercial-free music and premier news, sports, talk, and entertainment channels, plus channels originated by CSR. The CSR channels would be integrated into XMs service, and made available to
XMs U.S. subscribers as well. XM is currently finalizing its arrangements with CSR, including the terms of a license that would make CSR XMs exclusive satellite radio licensee in Canada in return for fees based on CSRs revenues. XM
also plans to sell some of its unused terrestrial repeaters to CSR and provide a stand-by credit facility to CSR to finance the purchase of the repeaters and license fee payments. XM and CSR plan to license their respective trademarks to each other,
and XM will provide design, engineering, support and technical services to CSR for a monthly fee. It is contemplated that XM will receive an equity stake in CSR of approximately 231/3percent, as well as board representation and specified consent rights relating to certain actions by CSR so long as XM retains a specified portion of its initial ownership in
CSR. CSR is currently awaiting approval of the terms of these arrangements by the CRTC. The launch of CSRs Canadian service is expected to follow shortly thereafter.



(7) Supplemental Cash Flows Disclosures



The Company paid $24.8 million and $18.0 million for interest, of which $5.2 million and $11.8 million was capitalized, during the nine month periods ended September 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively. Additionally, the Companys financial results include the following non-cash financing and investing activities:

no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. The important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein (the Cautionary Statements) include, without limitation,
the key factors that have a direct bearing on our future results of operations. These are our significant expenditures and losses, unproven market for our service, health of our satellites, potential need for additional financing, substantial
indebtedness, as well as other risks referenced from time to time in filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K, filed March 30, 2005 and Holdings Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2005. All subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking
statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.



The following
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herewith, and with our managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations and audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three year period ended December 31, 2004, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.



This quarterly report on Form 10-Q is filed by XM Satellite Radio Inc. (Inc. or the Company). XM Satellite Radio
Holdings Inc. (XM or Holdings) is filing separately. The principal differences between the financial condition of Holdings and Inc., are:



| |  |  | the ownership since August 2001 and September 2005 by XM of the corporate headquarters buildings located in Washington, DC and the lease of these buildings by XM to Inc.;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | XM-1, XM-2, and XM-3 are owned by the Company, except for the B702 bus portion of XM-3; XM-4, XM-5 and the B702 bus portion of XM-3 are owned by Holdings;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the presence at XM of additional indebtedness not guaranteed by Inc.;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the investment by XM in WorldSpace, Inc.; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the existence of cash balances at XM.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



Accordingly, the results of operations for Inc. and its subsidiaries are substantially the same as the results for XM and its subsidiaries discussed below except that
Inc. incurs:



| |  |  | additional rent, less depreciation and amortization expense and less other income, in each case principally related to Inc.s rental of its corporate headquarters buildings
from XM, which are intercompany transactions that have been eliminated in the XM financial statements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | less interest expense principally related to the additional indebtedness at Holdings; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | less interest income because of additional cash balances at Holdings.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Total net subscriber additions for the three months ended September 30, 2005, include 305,284 retail, 314,088 OEM, and (2,220) rental cars.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Ending subscribers include 831,425 family plan subscriptions at a multi-unit rate of $6.99 per radio per month.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | OEM Promotional Subscribers are subscribers who have either a portion or their entire subscription fee paid for by an OEM for a fixed period following the initial purchase or lease
of the vehicle. Currently, at the time of sale, vehicle owners generally receive a 3-month trial subscription. The Company generally receives two months of the 3-month trial subscription from the vehicle manufacturer. The automated activation
program provides activated XM radios on dealer lots for test drives. GM and Honda generally indicate the inclusion of 3 months free of XM service on the window sticker of XM-enabled vehicles. We measure the success of these programs based on the
percentage that elect to continue to receive the XM service and convert to self-paying subscribers after the initial promotion periodwe refer to this as the conversion rate. The conversion rate for the quarter ended September 30,
2005 is 56 percent and reflects the auto activation program, with all XM-enabled vehicles activated for the promotional period.

|(5) | Rental car activity commenced in late June 2003. At September 30, 2005, there were 42,117 XM subscriptions in rental vehicles. For the initial Model Year 2003 XM-enabled rental
vehicles, the Company receives payments based on the use of the service. Customers are charged $2.99 per day per vehicle for use of the XM service, on which XM receives a revenue share. For subsequent Model Year 2004 and later vehicles, the Company
receives $10 per subscription per month.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) | Subscribers are those who are receiving and have agreed to pay for our satellite audio service, either by credit card or by invoice, including those who are currently in promotional
periods paid in part by vehicle manufacturers, as well as XM activated radios in vehicles for which we have a contractual right to receive payment for the use of our satellite audio service. Radios that are revenue generating are counted
individually as subscribers. Promotional periods generally include the period of trial service plus30 days for the receipt and processing of payments.

|(1) | Net loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure
of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Consistent with regulatory requirements, EBITDA includes Other income (expense). We believe EBITDA is often a useful measure of a companys operating performance and is a
significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business. Because we have funded and completed the build-out of our system through the raising and expenditure of large amounts of capital, our results of
operations reflect significant charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense. EBITDA, which excludes this information, provides helpful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated
with our physical plant or capital structure. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does
not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our
performance. (See the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA)

in promotional periods paid in part by vehicle manufacturers, as well as XM activated radios in vehicles for which we have a contractual right to receive payment for the use of our satellite audio service. Radios that are revenue generating are
counted individually as subscribers. Promotional periods generally include the period of trial service plus 30 days to handle the receipt and processing of payments.

Three Months
Ended September 30, 2005 Compared With Three Months Ended September 30, 2004



XM Satellite Radio Inc. and Subsidiaries



Revenue



Revenue. Our revenue consists of subscription
fees for our satellite audio service, activation charges, limited direct sales of radios and merchandise, net ad sales and revenue from ancillary services. In the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $153.1 million in total revenue,
compared to $65.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $87.7 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, subscription revenue comprised 91.4 percent and 91.2 percent of our total revenues,
respectively.



Subscribers. As of September 30, 2005, we
had 5,034,642 subscribers, compared to 2,516,023 at September 30, 2004, an increase of 2,518,619 subscribers. Subscribers for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 include 2,818,674 retail, 2,173,851 OEM and 42,117 car rental subscribers. Our
subscribers include 4,367,945 self-paying subscribers, 624,580 subscribers in OEM promotional periods (typically ranging from three months to one year in duration) paid in part by the vehicle manufacturers and 42,117 XM activated vehicles with
rental car companies. Additionally, 831,425 family plan subscriptions at a multi-unit rate of $6.99 per radio per month are included in our total subscriber count. We consider subscribers to be those who are receiving and have agreed to pay for our
satellite audio service, either by credit card or by invoice, including those who are currently in promotional periods paid for by vehicle manufacturers, as well as XM activated vehicles for which we have a contractual right to receive payment for
the use of our satellite audio service. Radios that are revenue generating are counted individually as subscribers.



OEM Promotional Subscribers. OEM Promotional Subscribers are subscribers who have either a portion or their entire subscription fee paid for by an
OEM for a fixed period following the initial purchase or lease of the vehicle. Currently, at the time of sale, vehicle owners generally receive a three month prepaid trial subscription. XM generally receives two months of the three month trial
subscription from the vehicle manufacturer. Promotional periods generally include the period of trial service plus 30 days to handle the receipt and processing of payments. The automated activation program provides activated XM radios on dealer lots
for test drives. GM and Honda generally indicate the inclusion of three months free of XM service on the window sticker of XM-enabled vehicles. Under the auto-activation programs, subscribers are included in our OEM promotional subscriber count from
the time of vehicle purchase or lease, through the period of trial service plus an additional 30 days. We measure the success of these programs based on the percentage that elect to receive the XM service and convert to self-paying subscribers after
the initial promotion periodwe refer to this as the conversion rate. We measure conversion rate three months after the period in which the trial service ends. Based on our experience it may take up to 90 days after the trial
service ends for subscribers to respond to our marketing communications. The conversion rate for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was 56.1 percent.



XM Activated Vehicles with Rental Car Companies. Our subscribers also include 42,117 activated vehicles with rental car companies. For the initial
model year 2003 XM-enabled rental vehicles, XM receives payments based on the use of XM service. Customers are charged $2.99 per day per vehicle for use of the XM service, on which XM receives a revenue share. For subsequent model year 2004 and
later vehicles, XM generally receives $10 per subscription per month.

Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue was $140.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005
compared to $59.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $80.4 million. This increase was attributable to the significant increase in our subscribers and the increase in our monthly subscription rate from $9.99 to
$12.95, effective April 2, 2005. Subscription revenue consists primarily of our monthly subscription fees for our satellite audio service charged to consumers, commercial establishments and fleets, which are recognized as the service is provided.
Revenues received from vehicle manufacturers for promotional service programs are included in Subscription revenue. At the time of sale, vehicle owners generally receive a three month trial subscription and are included in OEM promotional
subscribers. Beginning in 2004, a standard promotion of three months free was placed on the window sticker of all XM-enabled GM vehicles. We generally receive payment for two months of the three month trial subscription period from the vehicle
manufacturer. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, Subscription revenue included $11.4 million from related parties for subscription fees paid under certain promotional agreements, compared with $6.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004. Our subscriber arrangements are generally cancelable without penalty. Promotions and discounts are treated as a reduction to revenue during the period of the promotion. Sales incentives, consisting of rebates to subscribers,
offset revenue. Discounts on equipment sold with service are allocated to equipment and service based on relative fair value. In February 2005, we announced that we were expanding our basic service package and that the monthly subscription price for
our basic service increased to $12.95 from $9.99 beginning in April 2005. Existing customers could lock in a discounted rate by signing up for a pre-paid plan of up to five years prior to mid-April 2005. The expanded basic service now includes the
internet service XM Radio Online (previously $3.99 per month) and the High Voltage Channel (previously $1.99 per month), both of which were premium services prior to this change.



Average Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Subscriber. Average monthly subscription revenue per subscriber
(ARPU) was $9.78 and $8.64 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. ARPU from our aftermarket, OEM and other subscribers was $10.36 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $9.24 for the
three months ended September 30, 2004. The difference from our retail rates of $12.95 and $9.99 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, is due primarily to annual and multi-year prepayment plans, family plan discounts,
and a conversion lag as subscribers transition to the new rates. ARPU from our OEM promotional subscribers was $5.99 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $5.63 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. OEM promotional
subscribers were not subject to the April 2, 2005 rate increase. ARPU from our rental car fleet subscribers was $10.25 and $9.47 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our rental car fleet subscribers were not subject
to the rate increase discussed above. Average monthly subscription revenue per subscriber is derived from the total of earned subscription revenue (net of promotions and rebates) divided by the monthly weighted average number of subscribers for the
period reported. Average monthly revenue per subscriber is a measure of operational performance and not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Average monthly subscription revenue per subscriber will
fluctuate based on promotions implemented in 2005, as well as the adoption rate of annual and multi-year prepayment plans, multi-radio discount plans (such as the family plan) and premium services. We expect that average monthly revenue per
subscriber will continue to increase in 2005 as more subscribers are added and converted to the new rate. The increase in the monthly subscription price is effective for all billing cycles on or after April 2, 2005, and therefore, will be
implemented over time.



Activation Revenue. Activation revenue is
comprised of one-time activation fees billed to customers. Activation fees are non-refundable, and are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the estimated 40-month life of the subscriber relationship. This estimate may be further refined in the future
as additional historical data becomes available. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $2.7 million in Activation revenue compared to $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.4 million
due to an increase in the number of subscribers added in the third quarter of 2005 than in the same quarter of 2004. The growth in Activation revenue will be impacted by the amount of discounts given as a result of the competitive environment, as
well as changes, if any, in the estimated life of the subscriber relationship.



Merchandise Revenue. Merchandise revenue is comprised of revenues from direct sales of radios and XM merchandise. Through December 31, 2004, the direct sales of radios were generally for promotional purposes. During the three months
ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $2.6 million in Merchandise revenue compared to $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.2 million. We expect revenue from the sale of merchandise to fluctuate based on
the promotional activities in direct sales as well as the performance of XM kiosk sales.

Net Ad Sales Revenue. Net ad sales revenue consists of sales of advertisements and program sponsorships on the XM
network to advertisers that are recognized in the period in which they are broadcast. Net ad sales revenue includes advertising aired in exchange for goods and services (barter), which is recorded at fair value. Net ad sales revenue is presented net
of agency commissions in the results of operations, which is consistent with industry practice. In the three month period ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $5.3 million in Net ad sales revenue compared to $2.1 million during the three month
period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $3.2 million. These amounts are net of agency commissions, which were $0.7 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $0.2 million during the three month period ended
September 30, 2004. The increase in Net ad sales revenue is due primarily to a net increase in the number of advertisers from the increased demand for advertising on the XM network that results from our subscriber growth, listenership and audience
reach. During the three month period ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $0.6 million in advertising barter revenue compared to $0.3 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2004. For the three month period September 30, 2005,
Net ad sales revenue included $1.0 million from sales of advertisements to related parties compared with $0.4 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004.



Other Revenue. Other revenue earned during the three month period ended September 30, 2005 consists primarily of revenue from
ancillary services, including recording services, weather data services, and NavTraffic only services. We recognized $2.5 million of Other revenue during the three month period ended September 30, 2005 compared with $1.0 million during the three
month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.5 million. The increase is due to increases in recording services, NavTraffic only and weather revenue.



Operating Expenses



Total Operating Expenses. Total Operating expenses were $262.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $166.5 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an
increase of $96.0 million. The increase was due to an increase in Cost of revenue of $57.5 million, an increase in Marketing expenses of $32.4 million, an increase in General & administrative expense of $4.9 million, and an increase in Research
& development of $1.2 million.



Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue
includes Revenue share & royalties, Customer care & billing operations, Cost of merchandise, Ad sales, Satellite & terrestrial operating costs, as well as costs related to Broadcast & operations and Programming & content. These
combined costs were $106.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, up from $48.9 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $57.5 million.



Revenue Share & Royalties. Revenue share & royalties includes
performance rights obligations to composers, artists, and copyright owners for public performances of their creative works broadcast on XM, and royalties paid to radio technology providers and revenue share expenses associated with manufacturing and
distribution partners and content providers. These costs were $25.8 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $10.8 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004. This increase of $15.0 million was a result
of our growth in subscriber base and revenues. We expect these total costs to continue to increase as revenue growth continues.



Customer Care & Billing Operations. Customer care & billing operations expense includes expenses from outsourced customer care functions as
well as internal IT costs associated with front office applications. These expenses were $17.8 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $10.0 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an
increase of $7.8 million. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in subscriber call volumes and transaction processing fees resulting from the growth in subscribers and the implementation of the April 2, 2005 rate increase. We expect
Customer care & billing operations expense in total to continue to increase as we continue to add subscribers, but we expect the average cost per subscriber to decrease.

Cost of Merchandise. During the three month period ended September 30, 2005, we expensed $7.9
million relating to promotional radios, radio kits and XM merchandise that we sold directly to subscribers, compared to $2.3 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $5.6 million. The increase in Cost of merchandise
is due primarily to the free radios distributed as part of our Buy One Get One Free promotion during the three months ended September 30, 2005. We expect the Cost of merchandise to continue to increase during 2005 as we continue to increase direct
sales of merchandise.



Ad Sales. Ad sales expense was
$2.5 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $1.5 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase in Ad sales expense is due to an increase in commissions
associated with the growth in Net ad sales revenue along with an increase in staffing and marketing costs to support Net ad sales revenue growth. We expect Ad sales expense to increase in support of expected Net ad sales revenue growth.



Satellite & Terrestrial. Satellite & terrestrial includes:
telemetry, tracking and control of our three satellites, in-orbit satellite insurance and incentive payments, satellite uplink, and all costs associated with operating our terrestrial repeater network such as power, maintenance and lease payments.
These expenses were $11.8 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $8.6 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $3.2 million. The increase is driven by the increased operating,
in-orbit incentives, and satellite insurance costs related to XM-3.



Broadcast & Operations. Broadcast and operations includes broadcast and operations costs associated with the management and maintenance of systems and facilities as well as information technology expense. These expenses were
$12.2 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $7.0 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $5.2 million.



Broadcast. Broadcast expenses include costs associated with the management and maintenance of the systems, software,
hardware, production and performance studios used in the creation and distribution of XM-original and third party content via satellite broadcast, web and other new distribution platforms. The advertising trafficking (scheduling and insertion)
functions are also included. Broadcast expenses were $4.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $2.8 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.5 million. The increase is
primarily due to increased costs associated with enhancements to and maintenance of the broadcast systems infrastructure. Broadcast expenses are expected to increase with new content initiatives.



Operations. Operations, which includes facilities and information
technology expense, was $7.9 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $4.2 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $3.7 million. The increase is mainly due to an increase in the
general operating costs associated with the corporate facility and infrastructure, which was just expanded.



Programming & Content. Programming & content includes the creative, production and licensing costs associated with our over 150 channels of
XM-original and third party content. This includes costs of programming staff and fixed payments for third party content. Programming & content expense was $28.4 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $8.6
million during the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $19.8 million. The increase is due to support of new programming initiatives, including Major League Baseball® (MLB), Network LIVE, PGA TOUR® Network, XM Deportivo, and the Take 5 Channel. Programming and content expenses are
expected to increase in future periods as a result of programming initiatives. We launched our MLB programming in mid-February 2005. We paid $50 million for the 2005 season and will pay $60 million per season thereafter. Our MLB seasons run for the
twelve month period beginning in February each year.



Research &
Development. Research & development includes the costs of new product development, chipset design, and engineering. These combined expenses were $7.9 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $6.7 million in
the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.2 million. The increased costs are primarily associated with new product development on the Roady XT as well as other players that will be available during the first quarter of 2006.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2005, Research & development expense included $1.2 million of costs relating to the development of future telematics applications associated with a related party compared with $2.5 million during
the three month period ended September 30, 2004. Research and development expense is expected to increase as we accelerate the development of future telematics applications and new products, including interoperable radios.



General & Administrative. General & administrative expense was $12.3 million
during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, as compared with $7.4 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $4.9 million. The increase in General & administrative expense is primarily due to an
increase in professional fees and an increase in payroll and payroll related costs associated with the increase in headcount to support the growth of our business.

Marketing. Marketing includes the costs of Retention & support, Subsidies & distribution, Advertising
& marketing, and Amortization of our liability to GM. These combined costs were $99.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $66.8 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $32.4
million. Marketing expense increased primarily due to increases in Subsidies & distribution of $16.9 million and Advertising & marketing of $13.0 million.



Retention & Support. Personnel-related expenses comprise the majority of Retention and support in 2005. In the
three month period ended September 30, 2005, these costs were $6.1 million compared to $3.6 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $2.5 million. The increase in Retention and support expense is primarily due to an
increase in payroll and payroll related costs associated with the increase in headcount to support the growth of our business.



Subsidies & Distribution. We currently provide incentives and subsidies for the manufacture, purchase, installation and activation of XM radios
to attract and retain our manufacturing and distribution partners. Our Subsidies & distribution expense totaled $54.2 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $37.3 million during the three month period ended
September 30, 2004, an increase of $16.9 million. This increase is primarily due to the increase in new activations and GM vehicles equipped with XM radios. Subsidies and distribution expense will increase as the number of XM radios that are
manufactured, installed and activated increase; however, we expect that the cost per new subscriber may fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of promotions and contracts.



Subscriber Acquisition Costs (SAC). We consider SAC to include radio manufacturer subsidies, certain sales,
activation and installation commissions, and hardware-related promotions. These costs are reported in Subsidies & distribution. The negative margins from equipment sales are also included in SAC. SAC does not include on-going loyalty payments to
retailers and distribution partners, payments under revenue sharing arrangements with radio manufacturers and distributors and certain guaranteed payments to GM. During the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 we incurred SAC expenses of
$53.4 million and $34.8 million, respectively. SAC for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $53 and $57, respectively. The decline in SAC for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the three month period
ended 2004 is due to the combined impacts of the decline in manufacturer subsidies and the increase in the number of activations. The timing of promotions and new contracts may cause SAC to fluctuate from period to period.



Advertising & Marketing. Activities comprising these expenses
include media, advertising, events and direct marketing programs. Advertising & marketing costs were $29.6 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $16.6 million during the three month period ended September
30, 2004, an increase of $13.0 million. The increase is primarily due to our increased retail marketing and media advertising expenses.



Cost Per Gross Addition (CPGA). We consider CPGA to include the amounts in SAC, as well as advertising, media and other discretionary marketing
expenses. In our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, SAC costs are captured in Subsidies & distribution and the negative margins from equipment sales, while CPGA costs are primarily captured by the combination of Subsidies
& distribution, Advertising & marketing, plus the negative margins from equipment sales. CPGA does not include marketing staff (included in Retention & support) or the amortization of the GM guaranteed payments (included in Amortization
of GM liability). During the three month periods ended September 30, 2005, and 2004, we incurred CPGA expenses of $87.9 million and $54.8 million, respectively. CPGA for the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $89. The timing
of our media campaigns and discretionary advertising spending may cause CPGA to fluctuate from period to period. The costs to acquire subscribers vary by distribution channel, and a change in the mix of subscribers from higher cost distribution
channels to lower cost distribution channels will have a favorable impact on CPGA. The timing of promotions and new contracts may cause CPGA to fluctuate from period to period.



Amortization of GM Liability. These costs include the amortization of annual fixed guaranteed payment commitments to
GM, aggregating to $439.0 million, under our long-term distribution agreement with the OnStar division of GM providing for the installation of XM radios in GM vehicles. Amortization of the GM liability was $9.3 million for the three month periods
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.



Depreciation & Amortization.
Depreciation & amortization expense was $36.7 million during the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.



Interest Income. Interest income was $0.7 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $0.4 million during the three month period
ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $0.3 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as well as higher yields on our investments due to
market conditions.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $25.5 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2005,
compared with $18.8 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $6.7 million. The increase in Interest expense is primarily due to a $4.7 million decrease in capitalized interest and higher average debt balances
for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004.



Other Income (Expense). Other expense was $2.3 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with other income of $0.1 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2004,
a change of $2.4 million. The change in Other income (expense) is primarily due to a $2.2 million charge as a result of the September 2005 de-leveraging transaction.



Provision for Deferred Income Taxes. We recorded a provision for deferred income taxes expense of $0.6 million during the three month
periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.



Net Loss. Net loss for the
three month period ended September 30, 2005 was $137.1 million, compared with $120.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $17.1 million. The increase is due primarily to an increase in our Operating loss of
$8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to increases in Operating expenses as a result of our subscriber growth, direct promotional activities, and programming and content related costs, partially offset by an increase in
Subscription revenues.



EBITDA. Net loss before interest income,
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA loss during the
three month period ended September 30, 2005 was $75.0 million, compared with $64.3 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $10.7 million. The increased loss reflects our increase in Operating expenses as a
result of our subscriber growth, offset in part by our revenue growth and margin improvement as well as a decline in the costs to acquire each new subscriber. We believe EBITDA is often a useful measure of a companys operating performance and
is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business. Because we have funded and completed the build-out of our system through the raising and expenditure of large amounts of capital, our results of
operations reflect significant charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense. EBITDA, which excludes this information, provides helpful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated
with our physical plant or capital structure. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does
not purport to represent operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.



Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared With Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2004



XM Satellite Radio Inc. and
Subsidiaries



Revenue



Revenue. Our revenue consists of subscription fees for our satellite audio service,
activation charges, limited direct sales of radios and merchandise, net ad sales and revenue from ancillary services. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $381.2 million in total revenue, compared to $161.3 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $219.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, subscription revenue comprised 90.9 percent and 91.7 percent of our total revenues, respectively.



Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue was $346.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 compared to $147.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $198.5 million. This increase was attributable to the significant increase in our subscribers and the increase in our monthly
subscription rate from $9.99 to $12.95, effective April 2, 2005. Subscription revenue consists primarily of our monthly subscription fees for our satellite audio service charged to consumers, commercial establishments and fleets, which are
recognized as the service is provided. Revenues received from vehicle manufacturers for promotional service programs are included in Subscription revenue. At the time of sale, vehicle owners generally receive a three month trial subscription and are
included in OEM promotional subscribers. Beginning in 2004, a standard promotion of three months free was placed on the window sticker of all XM-enabled GM vehicles. We generally receive payment for two months of the three month trial subscription
period from the vehicle manufacturer. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, Subscription revenue included $26.1 million from related parties for subscription fees paid under certain promotional agreements, compared with $17.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Our subscriber arrangements are generally cancelable without penalty. Promotions and discounts are treated as a reduction to revenue during the period of the promotion. Sales incentives, consisting of
rebates to subscribers, offset revenue. Discounts on equipment sold with service are allocated to equipment and service based on relative fair value. In February 2005, we announced that we are

expanding our basic service package and that the monthly subscription price for our basic service increased to $12.95
from $9.99 beginning in April 2005. Existing customers could lock in a discounted rate by signing up for a pre-paid plan of up to five years prior to mid-April 2005. The expanded basic service now includes the internet service XM Radio Online
(previously $3.99 per month) and the High Voltage Channel (previously $1.99 per month), both of which were premium services prior to this change.



Activation Revenue. Activation revenue is comprised of one-time activation fees billed to customers. Activation fees are non-refundable, and are recognized on a
pro-rata basis over the estimated 40-month life of the subscriber relationship. This estimate may be further refined in the future as additional historical data becomes available. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $7.0
million in Activation revenue compared to $3.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $3.8 million due to new subscribers added. The growth in Activation revenue will be impacted by the amount of discounts given as a
result of the competitive environment, as well as changes, if any, in the estimated life of the subscriber relationship.



Merchandise Revenue. Merchandise revenue is comprised of revenues from direct sales of radios and XM merchandise. Through December 31, 2004, the direct sales of
radios have generally been for promotional purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $9.6 million in Merchandise revenue compared to $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $6.5
million. We expect revenue from the sale of merchandise to fluctuate based on the promotional activities in direct sales as well as the performance XM kiosk sales.



Net Ad Sales Revenue. Net ad sales revenue consists of sales of advertisements and program sponsorships on the XM network to
advertisers that are recognized in the period in which they are broadcast. Net ad sales revenue includes advertising aired in exchange for goods and services (barter), which is recorded at fair value. Net ad sales revenue is presented net of agency
commissions in the results of operations, which is consistent with industry practice. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $12.8 million in Net ad sales revenue compared to $4.5 million during the nine month period ended
September 30, 2004, an increase of $8.3 million. These amounts are net of agency commissions, which were $1.7 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $0.5 million during the nine month period ended September 30,
2004. The increase in Net ad sales revenue is due primarily to a net increase in the number of advertisers as a result of the increased demand for advertising on the XM network that results from our subscriber growth, listenership and audience
reach. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $1.2 million in advertising barter revenue compared to $0.7 million during the nine month period ended September 2004. For the nine month period September 30, 2005, Net ad
sales revenue included $2.2 million from sales of advertisements to related parties compared with $0.7 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.



Other Revenue. Other revenue earned during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 consists primarily of revenue from
ancillary services, including recording services, weather data services, and NavTraffic only services. We recognized $5.4 million of Other revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 compared with $2.6 million during the nine month
period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $2.8 million. The increase is due to increases in recording services, NavTraffic only and weather revenue.



Operating Expenses



Total Operating Expenses. Total Operating expenses were $723.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $494.0 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an
increase of $229.4 million. The increase was due to an increase in Cost of revenue of $134.1 million, an increase in Marketing expenses of $94.7 million, an increase in General & administrative expense of $10.4 million, an increase in Research
& development of $1.4 million, offset in part by a decrease in Depreciation & amortization of $11.0 million.



Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes Revenue share & royalties, Customer care & billing operations, Costs of merchandise, Ad sales, Satellite &
terrestrial operating costs, as well as costs related to Broadcast & operations and Programming & content. These combined costs were $277.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, up from $143.2 million in the nine month
period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $134.1 million.



Revenue Share & Royalties. Revenue share & royalties includes performance rights obligations to composers, artists, and copyright owners for public performances of their creative works broadcast on XM, and royalties paid to
radio technology providers and revenue share expenses associated with manufacturing and distribution partners and content providers. These costs were $66.0 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $36.8 million in the
nine month period ended September 30, 2004. This increase of $29.2 million was a result of our growth in subscriber base and revenues. We expect these total costs to continue to increase as revenue growth continues.

Customer Care & Billing Operations. Customer care & billing operations expense includes
expenses from outsourced customer care functions as well as internal IT costs associated with front office applications. These expenses were $51.7 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $26.1 million during the
nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $25.6 million. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in subscriber call volumes and transaction processing fees resulting from the growth in subscribers. We expect Customer care
& billing operations expense in total to continue to increase as we continue to add subscribers, but we expect the average cost per subscriber to decrease.



Cost of Merchandise. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, we expensed $18.4 million relating to promotional radios, radio kits
and XM merchandise that we sold directly to subscribers, compared to $5.7 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $12.7 million. The increase in Cost of merchandise is due primarily to the free radios distributed as
part of our Buy One Get One Free promotion during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase also reflects increased sales volumes and unit equipment cost for our direct sales business. We expect the Cost of merchandise to continue to
increase during 2005 as we continue to increase direct sales of merchandise.



Ad Sales. Ad sales expense was $6.4 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $4.1 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $2.3 million. The
increase in Ad sales expense is due to an increase in commissions associated with the growth in Net ad sales revenue along with an increase in staffing and marketing costs to support Net ad sales revenue growth. We expect Ad sales expense to
increase in support of expected Net ad sales revenue growth.



Satellite & Terrestrial. Satellite & terrestrial includes: telemetry, tracking and control of our three satellites, in-orbit satellite insurance and incentive payments, satellite uplink, and all costs associated with
operating our terrestrial repeater network such as power, maintenance and lease payments. These expenses were $31.0 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $27.9 million in the nine month period ended September 30,
2004, an increase of $3.1 million. The increase is driven by the increased operating, in-orbit incentives, and satellite insurance costs related to XM-3.



Broadcast & Operations. Broadcast and operations includes broadcast and operations costs associated with the management and maintenance of
systems and facilities as well as information technology expense. These expenses were $33.3 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $19.8 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $13.5
million.



Broadcast. Broadcast expenses include costs
associated with the management and maintenance of the systems, software, hardware, production and performance studios used in the creation and distribution of XM-original and third party content via satellite broadcast, web and other new
distribution platforms. The advertising trafficking (scheduling and insertion) functions are also included. Broadcast expenses were $11.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $7.9 million in the nine month period
ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $4.0 million. The increase is primarily due to increased costs associated with enhancements to and maintenance of the broadcast systems infrastructure. Broadcast expenses are expected to increase with new
content initiatives.



Operations. Operations, which
includes facilities and information technology expense, was $21.4 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $11.9 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $9.5 million. The increase is
mainly due to an increase in the general operating costs associated with the corporate facility and infrastructure, which was just expanded.



Programming & Content. Programming & content includes the creative, production and licensing costs associated with our over 150 channels of
XM-original and third party content. This includes costs of programming staff and fixed payments for third party content. Programming & content expense was $70.5 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $23.0
million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $47.5 million. The increase is due to support of new programming initiatives, including Major League Baseball®, Network LIVE, PGA TOUR®Network, XM Deportivo, and the Take 5 Channel. Programming and content expenses are expected to increase in future periods as a
result of programming initiatives. We launched our MLB programming in mid-February 2005. We paid $50 million for the 2005 season and will pay $60 million per season thereafter. Our MLB seasons run for the twelve month period beginning in February
each year.

Research & Development. Research & development includes the costs of new product development, chipset
design, and engineering. These combined expenses were $21.0 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $19.6 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.4 million. The increased costs
are primarily associated with new product development on the Roady XT as well as other players that will be available during the first quarter of 2006. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, Research & development expense included
$3.8 million of costs relating to the development of future telematics applications associated with a related party compared with $7.1 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. Research and development expense is expected to
increase as we accelerate the development of future telematics applications and new products, including interoperable radios.



General & Administrative. General & administrative expense was $30.1 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, as compared with $19.7
million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $10.4 million. The increase in General & administrative expense is primarily due to an increase in professional fees and an increase in payroll and payroll related
costs associated with the increase in headcount to support the growth of our business.



Marketing. Marketing includes the costs of Retention & support, Subsidies & distribution, Advertising & marketing, and Amortization of our liability to GM. These combined costs were $291.1 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $196.4 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $94.7 million. Marketing expense increased primarily due to increases in Subsidies & distribution of $43.5 million and
Advertising & marketing of $45.0 million.



Retention
& Support. Personnel-related expenses comprise the majority of Retention and support in 2005. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, these costs were $15.7 million compared to $9.5 million in the nine month period ended September
30, 2004, an increase of $6.2 million. The increase in Retention and support expense is primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll related costs associated with the increase in headcount to support the growth of our business.



Subsidies & Distribution. We currently provide incentives and
subsidies for the manufacture, purchase, installation and activation of XM radios to attract and retain our manufacturing and distribution partners. Our Subsidies & distribution expense totaled approximately $150.9 million during the nine month
period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $107.4 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $43.5 million. This increase is primarily due to the increase in new activations and GM vehicles equipped with XM
radios. Subsidies and distribution expense will increase as the number of XM radios that are manufactured, installed and activated increase; however, we expect that the cost per new subscriber may fluctuate from period to period based on the timing
of promotions and contracts.



Advertising &
Marketing. Activities comprising these expenses include media, advertising, events and direct marketing programs. Advertising & marketing costs were $96.6 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $51.6
million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $45.0 million. The increase is primarily due to our increased retail marketing and media advertising expenses.



Amortization of GM Liability. These costs include the amortization of
annual fixed guaranteed payment commitments to GM, aggregating to $439.0 million, under our long-term distribution agreement with the OnStar division of GM providing for the installation of XM radios in GM vehicles. Amortization of the GM liability
was $27.9 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.



Depreciation & Amortization. Depreciation & amortization expense was $104.0 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $115.0 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, a
decrease of $11.0 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower depreciation on XM-1 and XM-2 as a result of recording approximately $134 million of insurance proceeds as a reduction to the carrying values of our satellites in August 2004 (See
Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFuture Operating Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements below) offset by increased depreciation related to XM-3 which was placed into service in April 2005.



Interest Income. Interest income was $2.0 million during the nine month period ended
September 30, 2005, compared with $0.8 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents in the nine month
period ended September 30, 2005 as well as higher yields on our investments due to market conditions.



Interest Expense. Interest expense was $68.1 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $65.7 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $2.4
million. The increase in Interest expense is primarily due to a $6.6 million decrease in capitalized interest and higher average debt balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Other Income (Expense). Other expense was $2.4 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005,
compared with other expense of $35.0 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of $32.6 million. Other expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 consists primarily of a $2.2 million charge as a result
of the September 2005 de-leveraging transaction. Included in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 were losses of $35.0 million from the retirement of debt.



Provision for Deferred Income Taxes. We recorded a provision for deferred income taxes expense of $1.7 million and $26.7 million
during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of $25.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded a deferred tax liability related to indefinite lived assets that are amortized and
deducted for tax purposes but are not amortized under generally accepted accounting principles. Beginning in the second quarter of 2004, we have recorded tax expense of $579,000 per quarter related to the amortization of the indefinite lived assets
for tax purposes. We will continue to incur tax expense as the indefinite lived assets are amortized for tax purposes over the next 12 years.



Net Loss. Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $412.5 million, compared with $459.2 million for the nine month period ended September
30, 2004, a decrease of $46.7 million. The decrease primarily reflects the decrease in the provision for deferred income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to September 30, 2004, and the recording of $35.0 million in
losses from the retirement of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.



EBITDA. Net loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally
accepted accounting principles. EBITDA loss during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $240.6 million, compared with $252.7 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of $12.1 million. The decreased loss
reflects our revenue growth and margin improvement as well as a decline in the costs to acquire each new subscriber, offset in part by an increase in operating costs as a result of our subscriber growth. We believe EBITDA is often a useful measure
of a companys operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business. Because we have funded and completed the build-out of our system through the raising and expenditure of
large amounts of capital, our results of operations reflect significant charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense. EBITDA, which excludes this information, provides helpful information about the operating performance of our
business, apart from the expenses associated with our physical plant or capital structure. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does not purport to represent operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an
indicator of our performance.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Overview



We have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant growth in demand for
our products and services. This growing demand has required and will continue to require us to invest significant amounts in our business. Since inception through September 30, 2005, Holdings and Inc. have raised proceeds of $3.5 billion, net of
offering costs, through equity and debt offerings. We have historically had to fund our operating activities and expect to continue to fund our operating activities until we substantially increase the number of our subscribers. Our business plan is
designed to increase subscribers and revenues while reducing or maintaining subscriber acquisition costs. Our ability to become profitable depends upon many factors, some of which are identified below under the heading Future Operating
Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents as well as cash provided by financing activities. We also have significant outstanding contracts and commercial commitments
that need to be paid in cash or through credit facilities over the next several years, including to fund subsidies and distribution costs as well as revenue share arrangements, under which our payments increase as our revenues increase under the
terms of those agreements, particularly under our arrangement with General Motors, programming costs, including Major League Baseball®, repayment of long-term debt, lease payments and service payments. Our ability to become profitable also depends upon other factors identified below
under the heading Future Operating Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements.

exercises, and repayments of debt.

contributions from Holdings and reduced by the repayment of $15.0 million to retire a portion of our 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2010.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Floating Rate Notes in April 2004, $188.9 million provided as capital contributions from Holdings, reduced by $271.5 million for the repayment of notes and related party debt.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



September 2005 De-leveraging Transaction.In September 2005, we retired $15.0 million
of our 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2010. As a result of the note retirement, we incurred a $2.2 million charge in Other income (expense) in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three month period ended September 30,
2005, which was comprised of a redemption premium of $1.8 million and a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.4 million.



April 2004 Financing Transaction.On April 20, 2004, we completed an offering of $200 million of Inc.s Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due May 1, 2009.
Interest on the notes is 7.19% per annum through October 31, 2004 and thereafter is reset quarterly at a rate equal to 550 basis points over LIBOR. The interest on the notes is payable quarterly in cash in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and

Commitments and Contingencies



We have entered into certain programming and marketing agreements that broaden our content offering and increase our brand awareness. Under these agreements, we are obligated to make payments that total $19.2 million
in the remaining three months of 2005, $129.0 million in 2006, $133.9 million in 2007, $129.5 million in 2008, $118.3 million in 2009 and $346.6 million in 2010 and beyond. These payments include fixed payments, advertising commitments and revenue
sharing arrangements. The Company has a multi-year agreement with Major League Baseball®to broadcast MLB games live nationwide and those payments are included in the above disclosure of our commitments. We paid $10 million to MLB in October 2004 for the 2006 season, $50 million in March 2005 for the 2005 season, and $25 million in
September 2005 for the 2006 season. We will pay an additional $25 million for the 2006 MLB season in March 2006 and $60 million per year thereafter through 2012, with $120 million to be deposited into escrow. MLB has the option to extend the
agreement for the 2013, 2014 and 2015 seasons at the same $60 million annual compensation rate. We will also make incentive payments to MLB for XM subscribers obtained through MLB and baseball club verifiable promotional programs. No stock or
warrants were included in this agreement.

Under our launch schedule for XM-4, we will incur capital expenditures relating to the launch of XM-4 approximately 12 to
18 months earlier than originally planned, but the amount of capital expenditures on XM-4 itself is not expected to change. Under our existing satellite construction and launch contracts, remaining costs for the construction and launch of XM-4 and
the construction of XM-5 are expected to be approximately $12 million in 2005, $177 million in 2006, $80 million in 2007, and $2 million in 2008. These costs exclude financing charges on certain amounts deferred prior to launch, in-orbit performance
incentives, launch insurance and the XM-5 launch.



In the ordinary course of
business, we enter into unconditional purchase commitments for certain component parts and long-lead items used in the manufacture of XM radios to ensure their availability. As of September 30, 2005, these unconditional purchase commitments totaled
$52.4 million. These unconditional purchase commitments consist primarily of standing purchase commitments to component manufacturers and providers that are subsequently canceled upon their receipt of a corresponding purchase order from the
equipment manufacturer. Management believes that all purchase commitments outstanding at September 30, 2005 will be canceled early in 2006. Historically, all unconditional purchase commitments entered into by XM have been canceled by the receipt of
corresponding purchase orders from equipment manufacturers.



Future Operating Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements



Our funding requirements are based on our current business plan, which in turn is based on our operating experience to date and our available resources. We are pursuing a business plan designed to increase subscribers
and revenues while reducing or maintaining subscriber acquisition costs. Our plan contemplates our focusing on the new automobile market where we have relationships with automobile manufacturers, the continuing introduction of lower-priced and more
user-friendly radio technology in the retail aftermarket and the use of our most productive distribution channels.



Provided that we meet the revenue, expense and cash flow projections of our business plan, we expect to be fully funded and will not need to raise additional financing to
continue operations. Our business plan is based on estimates regarding expected future costs and expected revenue. Our costs may exceed or our revenues may fall short of our estimates, our estimates may change, and future developments may affect our
estimates. Any of these factors may increase our need for funds, which would require us to seek additional financing to continue implementing our current business plan.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, we may seek additional financing to undertake initiatives not contemplated by our current business plan or
obtain additional cushion against possible shortfalls. We may pursue a range of different sizes or types of financing as opportunities arise, particularly the sale of additional equity and debt securities. We have and may continue to take advantage
of opportunities to reduce our level of indebtedness and preferred stock in exchange for issuing common or other equity securities, if these transactions can be completed on favorable terms. We may also take advantage of market conditions and our
larger revenue base to refinance some of our higher rate bonds.



In the event
of unfavorable future developments, such as adverse developments in the debt and equity market of the type experienced during much of 2001 and 2002, we may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain
additional financing depends on several factors, including future market conditions; our success or lack of success in developing, implementing and marketing our satellite audio service; our future creditworthiness; and restrictions contained in
agreements with our investors or lenders. Additional financing activities could increase our level of indebtedness or result in further dilution to our equity holders. If we fail to obtain necessary financing on a timely basis, a number of adverse
effects could occur, or we may have to revise our business plan.



Satellite
System.See Note 6 (a) and (b) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our DARS License and Satellite System.



Related Party Transactions



We developed strategic relationships with certain companies that were instrumental in the construction and development of our system. In connection with our granting to
them of large supply contracts, some of these strategic companies have become large investors in us and have been granted rights to designate directors or observers to our board of directors. The negotiation of these supply contracts and investments
primarily occurred at or prior to the time these companies became related parties.



We are a party to a long-term distribution agreement with OnStar Corporation, a subsidiary of General Motors that provides for the installation of XM radios in General Motors vehicles, as further described in Note 6 to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements. We have an agreement with OnStar to make available use of our bandwidth. We have arrangements with American Honda relating to the promotion of the XM Service to new car buyers, the use of bandwidth on the
XM System and the development of telematics services and technologies. As of September 30, 2005, we are engaged in activities with GM and Honda to jointly promote new car buyers to subscribe to the XM service. At September 30, 2005, there were
624,580 subscribers in promotional periods (typically ranging from three months to one year in duration) paid for by the vehicle manufacturers. These subscriptions are included in our quarter-end subscriber total. Subscriber revenues received from
GM and Honda for these programs are recorded as related party revenue. GM is one of our shareholders and Chester A. Huber, Jr., the president of OnStar, is a member of our board of directors. John W. Mendel, a member of our board of directors, is
Senior Vice President, automobile operations of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.



In connection with the development of our terrestrial repeater network, we were a party to a contract with Hughes Electronics Corporation. DIRECTV® has provided consulting services in connection with the development of our customer care center and billing operations. Hughes Electronics was
one of our largest shareholders until January 2004 and was a subsidiary of GM until December 2003. Jack Shaw, a member of our board of directors, was Chief Executive Officer of Hughes Electronics Corporation until December 2003. DIRECTV®, a subsidiary of Hughes Electronics, was a holder of
our Series C preferred stock until January 2003. Hughes Electronics Corporation and DIRECTV® ceased to be a related party during the three month period ended March 31, 2004.



As part of Clear Channel Communications investment in XM in 1998, the companies entered into agreements which provided for certain programming and director
designation arrangements as long as Clear Channel retained the full amount of its original investment in XM. In June of 2003, Clear Channel entered into a forward sale derivative hedging contract relating to its shares of XM Class A common stock.
During the third quarter of 2005, Clear Channel and XM arbitrated the impact, if any, of the hedging activity on the Operational Assistance Agreement and the Director Designation Agreement, and certain related matters. The Arbitration Panel
preliminarily decided that the Operational Assistance Agreement remains in effect, including Clear Channels right to receive a revenue share of commercial advertising on programming it provides to XM, but declined to enforce the Director
Designation Agreement. The parties have agreed to abide by the panels preliminary decision, to include commercial advertising and share advertising revenue on all Clear Channel provided programming starting in March 2006, and on the amount of
compensation to Clear Channel ($2 million, of which approximately $0.7 million was accrued for in a prior period and the remaining $1.3 million was recorded as an expense in our statement of operations in the current period) for the period
commercials were not included on some of the channels it programs.



In the
past, we had a sponsorship agreement with Clear Channel Entertainment to advertise our service at Clear Channel Entertainment concerts and venues. Premiere Radio Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, has in the past served as one
of our advertising sales representatives. We also run advertisements on a spot and network basis on radio stations owned by Clear Channel. In addition, we lease four sites for our terrestrial repeaters from Clear Channel Communications. Clear
Channel Communications ceased to be a related party during the second quarter of 2004.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R. SFAS 123R requires recognition of
compensation expense for stock options granted to employees. The expense is equal to the grant-date fair value of the options granted, and the expense is recorded over the vesting period. XMs Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is
also considered compensatory under the new standard, because we offer a discount greater than 5 percent and a look-back option. We are in the process of evaluating whether we should make modifications to our ESPP. This change in accounting is not
expected to materially impact our financial position. However, because we currently account for share-based payments to our employees using the intrinsic value method, our results of operations have not included the recognition of compensation
expense for the issuance of stock option awards. Had we applied the fair-value criteria established by SFAS No. 123R to previous stock option grants, the impact to our results of operations would have approximated the impact of applying SFAS No.
123, which was an increase to net loss of $9.4 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $27.5 million and $24.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. XM
is required to adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006. Compensation expense will need to be recorded for new option awards and for the remaining vesting period of existing option grants. The amount of compensation expense that we record after
adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006 and beyond will depend on the amount and timing of option activity.



Risk Factors



Investing in our securities involves risk. Potential investors are urged to read and consider these risk factors relating to an investment in XM Satellite Radio Inc. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider
these risks. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also affect our business operations. We
also may disclose additional risks in subsequent annual and quarterly reports and other periodic filings with the SEC.



You could lose money on your investment because we are in the early stages of generating revenues.



Unless we generate significant revenues, we may not be able to operate our business and service our indebtedness and you
could lose money on your investment. Our ability to generate revenues and ultimately to become profitable will depend upon several factors, including:



| |  |  | whether we can attract and retain enough subscribers to XM Radio;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to maintain the costs of obtaining and retaining subscribers and programming;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | whether we compete successfully; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | whether our XM Radio system continues to operate at an acceptable level.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our cumulative expenditures and losses have been significant and are expected to grow.



As of September 30, 2005, we had incurred capital expenditures of $1.2 billion and cumulative net losses approximating
$2.5 billion from our inception through September 30, 2005. We expect our cumulative net losses and negative cash flow to grow as we make payments under our various distribution and programming contracts, incur marketing and subscriber
acquisition costs and make interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness. If we are unable ultimately to generate sufficient revenues to become profitable and have positive cash flow, you could lose money on your investment.



Demand for our service may be insufficient for us to become profitable.



Because we offer a relatively new service, we cannot estimate with any
certainty whether consumer demand for our service will be sufficient for us to continue to increase the number of subscribers at projected rates or the degree to which we will meet that demand. Among other things, continuing and increased consumer
acceptance of XM Radio will depend upon:



| |  |  | whether we obtain, produce and market high quality programming consistent with consumers tastes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the willingness of consumers, on a mass-market basis, to pay subscription fees to obtain radio service;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost and availability of XM radios; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the marketing and pricing strategies that we employ and that are employed by our competitors.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If demand for our service does not continue and increase as expected, we may not be able to generate enough revenues to
generate positive cash flow or become profitable.

Our inability to retain customers, including those who purchase or lease vehicles that include a subscription to our
service, could adversely affect our financial performance.



| |  |  | We cannot predict how successful we will be at retaining customers who purchase or lease vehicles that include a subscription to our service as part of the promotion of our product.
Over the past several quarters we have retained approximately 56 to 60 percent of the customers who receive a promotional subscription as part of the purchase or lease of a new vehicle, but that percentage does vary over time and the amount of data
on the percentage is limited. We do not know if the percentage will change as the number of customers with promotional subscriptions increases.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We experience subscriber turnover, or churn, with respect to our customers as well. Because we have been in commercial operations for a relatively short period of time, we cannot
predict the amount of churn we will experience over the longer term.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our inability to retain customers who purchase or lease new vehicles with our service beyond the promotional period and subscriber turnover could adversely affect our financial performance and results of operations.



Large payment obligations under our distribution agreement with General
Motors and other agreements may prevent us from becoming profitable or from achieving profitability in a timely manner.



We have significant payment obligations under our long-term distribution agreement with General Motors for the installation of XM radios in General Motors
vehicles and the distribution of our service to the exclusion of other satellite radio services. These payment obligations, which could total several hundred million dollars over the life of the contract, may prevent us from becoming profitable. A
significant portion of these payments are fixed in amount, and we must pay these amounts even if General Motors does not continue to meet or exceed performance targets in the contract. Although this agreement is subject to renegotiation in certain
limited circumstances, we cannot predict the outcome of any such renegotiation. We also have significant payment obligations under other agreements, including $50 million for 2005 and $60 million per year thereafter under our agreement with Major
League Baseball® (MLB) to become the Official
Satellite Radio Network of Major League Baseball®.
Other agreements that we enter into with third-party suppliers of programming or involving program royalties could involve substantial costs to us. These payment obligations could significantly delay our becoming profitable.



We need to obtain rights to programming, which are expensive and could be more costly than
anticipated.



Third-party content is an important part of
the marketing of the XM Radio service and obtaining third-party content can be expensive. We have a multi-year agreement with Major League Baseball® (MLB) to broadcast MLB games live nationwide, and to become the Official Satellite Radio provider of Major League Baseball®, for which we have paid or will pay $50 million for 2005 and $60 million per
year thereafter through 2012, with $120 million to be deposited into escrow. We have many other agreements and must negotiate new agreements with third-party suppliers of programming. Such programming is expensive, and may be more expensive in the
future, given the growth of the satellite radio industry and amounts paid for other programming. Changes in the cost of certain programming or other factors may cause changes to our channel line-up in the future. Our ability to obtain necessary
third-party content at a reasonable cost and re-negotiate programming agreements successfully will impact our financial performance and results of operations.



We must maintain and pay license fees for music rights, and we may have disputes with copyright holders.



We must maintain music programming royalty arrangements with and pay license
fees to Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and SESAC, Inc. These organizations represent copyright users, collect royalties and distribute them to songwriters and music publishers. We have
agreements which establish the license fee amounts payable to those entities. Under the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act of 1995 and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, we also have to negotiate royalty arrangements with
the copyright owners of the sound recordings, or if negotiation is unsuccessful, have the royalty rate established by a copyright royalty board. We have an agreement with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), through its division,
SoundExchange, establishing royalty payment arrangements for these performance rights through 2006.



Some organizations representing copyright holders have publicly stated their concerns regarding new features in certain portable devices, including
devices that combine XM radio and MP3 functionality and allow subscribers to listen to XM radio programming after the initial broadcast. We believe these new XM radios, which have various functionalities currently available to consumers, comply
with applicable copyright law. However, we cannot assure you that royalty fees will remain at current levels or that arbitration or litigation will not arise in connection with royalty arrangements or new devices, and we cannot predict what the
costs to our company of a proceeding or a settlement of such a dispute or disputes might be.

Failure to timely replace our existing satellites could damage our business.



We have been disclosing since the third quarter of 2001 a progressive
degradation problem with the solar array output power of Boeing 702 class satellites, including both XM-1 and XM-2. Based on the consistency of the degradation trends and continuing analyses by BSS and us, our management adjusted the estimated
useful lives of our in-orbit satellites, with effect from September 2002, to the period running through first quarter 2008 (approximately 6.75 years from launch). We and the manufacturer are continuing to watch the progression of the situation,
including data from a satellite that has been in orbit longer than either of our two satellites by approximately 15 and 17 months, respectively. With this advance visibility of performance levels, we launched our XM-3 satellite in February 2005.
XM-3 was placed into one of our orbital slots and beginning in April 2005 is being used to transmit the XM service. XM-1 was collocated with XM-2 in the other orbital slot (which allows partial use of XM-1 and XM-2 through the first quarter of
2008). With this plan, the ongoing construction of an additional satellite (XM-4) and contractual arrangements in place to provide XM-4 launch services, we believe we will be able to launch XM-4 prior to the time the solar array power problem might
cause the broadcast signal strength to fall below minimum acceptable levels. We have entered into a contract to construct a spare satellite (XM-5) to be completed by the end of 2007 for use as a ground spare or to be available for launch in the
event there is a launch or early operations failure of XM-4. However, we cannot assure you that such actions will allow us to maintain adequate broadcast signal strength, particularly in the event of a launch or operational failure of either XM-4 or
XM-5. If either XM-1, XM-2, or XM-3 were to fail or suffer unanticipated additional performance degradation prematurely, or if there was a launch or operational failure of either XM-4 or XM-5, it likely would affect the quality of our service, and
might interrupt the continuation of our service and harm our business. This harm would continue until we successfully launched and operated one or more additional satellites.



A number of other factors could decrease the useful lives of our satellites, including:



| |  |  | defects in construction;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | loss of on board station-keeping system;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure of satellite components that are not protected by back-up units;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | electrostatic storms; and
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | collisions with other objects in space.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



In addition, our network of terrestrial repeaters communicates principally with one satellite. If the satellite communicating with the repeater network fails
unexpectedly, we would have to repoint all the repeaters to communicate with the other satellite. This would result in a degradation of service that could last several days and could harm our business.



Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.



Insurance proceeds may not fully cover our losses. For example, our
insurance does not cover the full cost of constructing, launching and insuring two new satellites, nor will it cover and we do not have protection against business interruption, loss of business or similar losses. Also, our insurance contains
customary exclusions, salvage value provisions, material change and other conditions that could limit our recovery. Further, any insurance proceeds may not be received on a timely basis in order to launch a spare satellite or construct and launch a
replacement satellite or take other remedial measures. In addition, some of our policies are subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses. If we experience a loss that
is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, this may impair our ability to make timely payments on our outstanding notes and other financial obligations.



Competition from Sirius Satellite Radio and traditional and emerging audio entertainment providers could adversely affect our revenues.



In seeking market acceptance of our service, we encounter competition for
both listeners and advertising revenues from many sources, including Sirius Satellite Radio, the other U.S. satellite radio licensee; traditional and digital AM/FM radio; Internet based audio providers; MP3 players; direct broadcast satellite
television audio service; and cable systems that carry audio service.



Sirius has announced that it had over 2.17 million subscribers as of September 30, 2005, including over 300,000 new subscribers in the three months then ended. Sirius broadcasts over 120 channels of programming and offers certain
programming that we do not offer such as regular season National Football League games. Sirius has announced that beginning in 2006 the Howard Stern nationwide radio show will air exclusively on Sirius. Sirius radio service is offered as a dealer-
and/or factory-installed option on a number of vehicle model brands, including certain ones that do not offer XM. Sirius has announced a number of new competitive product offerings. Sirius also has a Canadian joint venture partner that will compete
with our Canadian business partner in providing satellite radio service in Canada.

Unlike XM Radio, traditional AM/FM radio already has a well-established and dominant market presence for
its services and generally offers free broadcast reception supported by commercial advertising, rather than by a subscription fee. Also, many radio stations offer information programming of a local nature, such as news and sports reports, which XM
Radio is not expected to offer as effectively as local radio, or at all. To the extent that consumers place a high value on these features of traditional AM/FM radio, we are at a competitive disadvantage to the dominant providers of audio
entertainment services. Some radio stations have begun reducing the number of commercials per hour, expanding the range of music played on the air and experimenting with new formats in order to compete more directly with satellite radio. Several
major radio companies, including Clear Channel Communications, Infinity Broadcasting and Entercom Communications, recently banded together to launch an advertising campaign designed to assert that traditional AM/FM radio, like satellite radio, is
innovative and features new artists.



Digital radio broadcast
services have been expanding, and an increasing number of radio stations in the U.S. have begun digital broadcasting or are in the process of converting to digital broadcasting. The technology permits broadcasters to transmit as many as five
stations per frequency. To the extent that traditional AM/FM radio stations adopt digital transmission technology such as that offered by iBiquity and to the extent such technology allows signal quality that rivals our own, any competitive advantage
that we enjoy over traditional radio because of our digital signal would be lessened.



Internet radio broadcasts have no geographic limitations and can provide listeners with radio programming from around the country and the world. According to an Arbitron study, approximately 20 million Americans
listened to internet radio each week in January 2005. We expect that improvements from higher bandwidths, faster modems and wider programming selection will make Internet radio increasingly competitive, in particular with our XM internet service.



The Apple iPod®, a portable digital music player that stores up to 10,000 songs, allows users to
download and purchase music through Apples iTunes® Music Store, which, in addition to offering over two million songs and 11,000 audio books, has sold more than one million videos since it began offering them on October 12, 2005. Apple has disclosed that it
shipped over 6.4 million iPods® during its
most recently concluded fiscal quarter. The iPod®
is also compatible with certain car stereos and various home speaker systems. Our XM2go portable satellite radio player, along with our recently announced digital audio players and XM + Napster online service will compete with the iPod® and other downloading technology and devices.



Our business could be adversely affected by the performance of our business
partners.



Our business depends in part on actions of
third parties, including:



| |  |  | the sale of new vehicles with factory installed XM Radios;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the development and manufacture of XM radios and other XM-compatible devices; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of XM radios for sale to the public by consumer electronics retailers.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The sale of vehicles with XM Radios is an important source of subscribers for us. To the extent sales of vehicles by our
distribution partners slow, our subscriber growth could be adversely impacted. We do not manufacture satellite radios or accessories, and we depend on manufacturers and others for the production of these radios and their component parts. If one or
more manufacturers raises the price of the radios or does not produce radios in a sufficient quantity to meet demand, or if such radios were not to perform as advertised or were to be defective, sales of our service and our reputation could be
adversely affected. Our business or reputation also could be harmed in the event our retailing partners were to fail to make XM radios available to the public in sufficient quantities, in a timely manner or at attractive prices.



One of our major business partners is experiencing financial difficulties.



On October 8, 2005, Delphi and 38 of its domestic U.S. subsidiaries,
which we refer to collectively as Delphi, filed voluntary petitions for business reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Delphi manufactures, in factories outside the United States, XM radios for installation in various brands
of GM vehicles. Delphi also distributes to consumer electronics retailers various models of XM radios manufactured abroad. According to public statements, Delphi has secured debtor-in-possession financing and a protection package for its $2.5
billion pre-petition secured revolver and term loan facilities. Delphi has also stated that its overall liquidity (including funds on hand outside the United States that Delphi does not plan to repatriate to fund U.S. operations) will support its
global operations outside the U.S. and help assure the continued adequacy of working capital throughout Delphis global business units. Delphi has stated that its plants should continue normal operations and GM has stated that Delphi expects no
disruption in its ability to supply GM with the systems, components and parts GM needs. Delphi has advised us that it expects no disruption in the continued supply of XM radios. However, we cannot estimate with any reasonable assurance the impact,
if any, on XM or GM that may ultimately result from Delphis petition for reorganization under Chapter 11.

We may need additional funding for our business plan and additional financing might not be available.



Although we believe we have sufficient cash and credit facilities
available to fund our operations through the date on which we expect our business to begin generating positive cash flow, we may need additional financing due to future developments or changes in our business plan. In addition, our actual funding
requirements could vary materially from our current estimates. If additional financing is needed, we may not be able to raise sufficient funds on favorable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain any necessary financing on a timely basis, a number of
adverse effects could occur. We could default on our commitments to creditors or others and may have to seek a purchaser for our business or assets.



Higher than expected subscriber acquisition costs could adversely affect our financial performance.



We are still spending substantial funds on advertising and marketing and in transactions with car and radio manufacturers
and other parties to obtain or as part of the expense of attracting new subscribers. Our ability to achieve cash flow breakeven within the expected timeframe depends on our ability to continue to maintain or lower these costs. If the costs of
attracting new subscribers or incentivizing other parties are greater than expected through higher per-unit costs or higher than anticipated subscriber growth volume, our financial performance and results of operations could be adversely affected.



Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health,
which could reduce the value of our securities.



As of
September 30, 2005, the total accreted value of our indebtedness was $747 million ($653 million carrying value). The carrying amount has continued to increase during 2005 as our indebtedness accretes, and we may issue more debt
securities if we believe we can raise money on favorable terms. Most of our indebtedness will mature in 2009 and 2010. However, our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:



| |  |  | increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit our ability to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, research and development costs and other general corporate requirements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working
capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our indebtedness, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Failing to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default,
which, if not cured or waived, could cause us to have to discontinue operations or seek a purchaser for our business or assets. In addition, the covenants allow us to incur more debt in the future, which could increase our total indebtedness.



Weaker than expected market and advertiser acceptance of our XM radio
service could adversely affect our advertising revenue and results of operations.



Our ability to generate advertising revenues will depend on several factors, including the level and type of market penetration of our service, competition for advertising dollars from other media, and changes in the
advertising industry and economy generally. We directly compete for audiences and advertising revenues with Sirius Satellite Radio, the other satellite radio licensee, and traditional AM/FM radio stations, some of which maintain longstanding
relationships with advertisers and possess greater resources than we do. Because we offer our radio service to subscribers on a pay-for-service basis, certain advertisers may be less likely to advertise on our radio service.



Our business may be impaired by third party intellectual property rights.



Development of the XM Radio system has depended largely upon the
intellectual property that we have developed and licensed from third parties. If the intellectual property that we have developed or use is not adequately protected, others will be permitted to and may duplicate the XM Radio system or service
without liability. In addition, others may challenge, invalidate or circumvent our intellectual property rights, patents or existing sublicenses. Some of the know-how and technology we have developed and plan to develop will not be covered by United
States patents. Trade secret protection and contractual agreements may not provide adequate protection if there is any unauthorized use or disclosure. The loss of necessary technologies could require us to obtain substitute technology of lower
quality performance standards, at greater cost or on a delayed basis, which could harm our business.

Other parties may have patents or pending patent applications which will later mature into patents or
inventions which may block our ability to operate our system or license our technology. We may have to resort to litigation to enforce our rights under license agreements or to determine the scope and validity of other parties proprietary
rights in the subject matter of those licenses. This may be expensive. Also, we may not succeed in any such litigation.



Third parties may assert claims or bring suit against us for patent or other infringement of intellectual property rights. Any such litigation could
result in substantial cost to, and diversion of effort by, our company, and adverse findings in any proceeding could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties; require us to seek licenses from third parties; block our ability to operate
the XM Radio system or license its technology; or otherwise adversely affect our ability to successfully develop and market the XM Radio system.



Rapid technological and industry changes could make our service obsolete.



The satellite industry and the audio entertainment industry are both characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product innovations,
changes in customer requirements and expectations, and evolving industry standards. If we are unable to keep pace with these changes, our business may be unsuccessful. Because we have depended on third parties to develop technologies used in key
elements of the XM Radio system, more advanced technologies that we may wish to use may not be available to us on reasonable terms or in a timely manner. Further, our competitors may have access to technologies not available to us, which may enable
them to produce entertainment products of greater interest to consumers, or at a more competitive cost.



Failure to comply with FCC requirements could damage our business.



As an owner of one of two FCC licenses to operate a commercial satellite radio service in the United States, we are subject to FCC rules and regulations,
and the terms of our license, which require us to meet certain conditions such as interoperability of our system with the other licensed satellite radio system; coordination of our satellite radio service with radio systems operating in the same
range of frequencies in neighboring countries; and coordination of our communications links to our satellites with other systems that operate in the same frequency band. Non-compliance by us with these conditions could result in fines, additional
license conditions, license revocation or other detrimental FCC actions.



Interference from other users could damage our business.



We may be subject to interference from adjacent radio frequency users, such as RF lighting and ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, if the FCC does not adequately protect us against such interference in its rulemaking
process.



The FCC has not issued final rules authorizing terrestrial
repeaters.



The FCC has not yet issued final rules
permitting us to deploy terrestrial repeaters to fill gaps in satellite coverage. We are operating our repeaters on a non-interference basis pursuant to a grant of special temporary authority from the FCC, which expired March 18, 2002. We have
applied for an extension of this authority and can continue to operate our terrestrial repeaters pending a final determination on this request. This authority is currently being challenged by operators of terrestrial wireless systems who have
asserted that our repeaters may cause interference. Our deployment of terrestrial repeaters may be impacted by the FCCs further actions, when taken.



Our service network or other ground facilities could be damaged by natural catastrophes.



Since our ground-based network is attached to towers, buildings and other structures around the country, an earthquake,
tornado, flood or other catastrophic event anywhere in the United States could damage our network, interrupt our service and harm our business in the affected area. We do not have replacement or redundant facilities that can be used to assume the
functions of our repeater network or of our central production and broadcast facility in the event of a catastrophic event. Any damage to our repeater network would likely result in degradation of our service for some subscribers and could result in
complete loss of service in affected areas. Damage to our central production and broadcast facility would restrict our production of programming and require us to obtain programming from third parties to continue our service.



Consumers could steal our service.



Like all radio transmissions, the XM Radio signal is subject to
interception. Pirates may be able to obtain or rebroadcast XM Radio without paying the subscription fee. Although we use encryption technology to mitigate the risk of signal theft, such technology may not be adequate to prevent theft of the XM Radio
signal. If widespread, signal theft could harm our business.

We depend on certain on-air talent and other people with special skills. If we cannot retain these people, our
business could suffer.



We employ or independently contract
with certain on-air talent who maintain significant loyal audiences in or across various demographic groups. We cannot be certain that our on-air talent will remain with us or will be able to retain their respective audiences. If we lose the
services of one or more of these individuals, and fail to attract comparable on-air talent with similar audience loyalty, the attractiveness of our service to subscribers and advertisers could decline, and our business could be adversely affected.
We also depend on the continued efforts of our executive officers and key employees, who have specialized technical knowledge regarding our satellite and radio systems and business knowledge regarding the radio industry and subscription services. If
we lose the services of one or more of these employees, or fail to attract qualified replacement personnel, it could harm our business and our future prospects.



The market price of our securities could be hurt by substantial price and volume fluctuations.



Historically, securities prices and trading volumes for emerging companies fluctuate widely for a number of reasons,
including some reasons that may be unrelated to their businesses or results of operations. This market volatility could depress the price of our securities without regard to our operating performance. In addition, our operating results may be below
the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If this were to occur, the market price of our securities would likely significantly decrease.



The holders of Holdings Series C preferred stock and convertible notes issued in January 2003 have consent rights that may prevent Holdings from engaging in
transactions otherwise beneficial to holders of its securities.



Under the terms of Holdings Series C preferred stock, the consent of holders of at least 60% of the Series C preferred stock is required before Holdings can take certain actions, including issuances of additional equity securities and
the incurrence of indebtedness under which Holdings must meet financial covenants to avoid default. These requirements could hamper Holdings ability to raise additional funds. The consent of holders of at least 60% of the Series C preferred
stock is also required for transactions with affiliates, other than on an arms-length basis, and for any merger or sale of Holdings assets. The approval for a merger could make it difficult for a third party to acquire Holdings and thus
could depress its stock price. Holders of Holdings and our 10% senior secured discount convertible notes issued in January 2003 have similar consent rights until the principal amount of the outstanding notes represents less than 50% of the
amount originally issued, and we do not have the right to prepay or redeem these notes. Without the consent of greater than 50% of the notes held by the convertible notes investors, we and Holdings cannot take certain actions, including the:



| |  |  | issuance of Class A common stock in an amount that increases the amount outstanding on a fully diluted basis by 20% or more;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incurrence of indebtedness with financial or operational covenants;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | entrance into certain transactions with affiliates; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



We cannot assure you that these rights will be exercised in a manner consistent with your best interests.



Future issuances of Holdings Class A common stock could lower Holdings
stock price and impair Holdings ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.



Holdings has issued and outstanding securities exercisable for or convertible into a significant number of shares of its Class A common stock, some of which accrue interest, which is convertible into Class A
common stock, or give Holdings the option to make interest or other payments in Class A common stock or securities convertible into Class A common stock. The conversion or exercise of these existing securities could lead to a significant
increase in the amount of Class A common stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2005, Holdings had outstanding approximately 222 million shares of Class A common stock. On a pro forma basis as of September 30, 2005, if
Holdings issued all shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities, Holdings would have had approximately [340] million shares of Class A common stock outstanding on that date. Issuances of a large number of shares could
adversely affect the market price of Holdings Class A common stock. Most of the shares of Holdings Class A common stock that are not already publicly-traded, including those held by affiliates, have been registered by Holdings
for resale into the public market. The sale into the public market of a large number of privately-issued shares also could adversely affect the market price of Holdings Class A common stock and could impair Holdings ability to raise
funds in additional stock offerings.

It may be hard for a third party to acquire Holdings, and this could depress its stock price.



Holdings is a Delaware company with unissued preferred stock, the terms of
which can be set by its board of directors. Holdings shareholder rights plan could make it difficult for a third party to acquire Holdings, even if doing so would benefit Holdings securityholders. The rights issued under the plan have
certain anti-takeover effects. The rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire Holdings in a manner or on terms not approved by its board of directors. The rights should not deter any prospective offeror
willing to negotiate in good faith with Holdings board of directors. Nor should the rights interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by Holdings board of directors. However, anti-takeover provisions in Delaware law
and the shareholder rights plan could depress Holdings stock price and may result in entrenchment of existing management, regardless of their performance.



Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



As of September 30, 2005, we do not have any derivative financial instruments. We do not hold or issue any free-standing derivatives. We invest our cash in short-term
commercial paper, investment-grade corporate and government obligations and money market funds. We have existing obligations related to our long-term debt agreements. As of September 30, 2005, we did not have significant cash flow exposure to
changing interest rates on our long-term debt because the interest rates of the majority of those securities are fixed. However, the estimated fair value of the fixed-rate debt is subject to market risk. As of September 30, 2005, we had
approximately $453.5 million in fixed-rate debt, which is approximately 69 percent of total debt. We run the risk that market rates will decline and the required payments will exceed those based on current market rates. Under our current policies,
we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations.



Presented below is an analysis of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2005 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The tables demonstrate the change in market value of the instruments calculated for
an instantaneous parallel shift in interest rates, plus or minus 50 basis points (bp), 100 bp and 150 bp. With respect to our fixed-rate debt, the sensitivity table below illustrates market values, or the price at which the
debt would trade should interest rates fall or rise in the range indicated, assuming similar terms and similar assessment of risk by our lenders. Market values are determined using quoted market prices or market rates on comparable instruments as of
September 30, 2005.

|12% senior secured notes due 2010          |                        |                                                 | 121.6     |  |                        | 119.3 |  |        | 117.0 |         |   | 114.8   |  |   | 112.6 |  |   | 110.5 |  |   | 108.4



This sensitivity analysis provides
only a limited, point-in-time view of the market risk sensitivity of certain of our financial instruments. The actual impact of market interest rate changes on our financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the
sensitivity analysis. The 10% senior secured discount convertible notes due 2009, with an estimated fair value of approximately $2.6 billion at September 30, 2005 are not included in the above analysis as the fair value of the notes is not
significantly exposed to interest rate changes. The holders of the notes may convert their notes into Class A common stock at a conversion price of $3.18 per share at any time prior to maturity. Due to the conversion feature of the instrument,
coupled with the current price of our Class A common stock, the fair value of the notes is linked largely to the price of Class A common stock. Included in our fixed-rate debt are $13.4 million of capital leases and notes payable that are not
included in the analysis as the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of their short maturity.



As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had $200 million of variable-rate debt. A change of one percentage point in the interest rate applicable to the $200 million of variable-rate debt at September 30,
2005 would result in a fluctuation of approximately $2 million in our annual interest expense. We believe that our exposure to interest rate risk is not material to our results of operations.
