         Phoenixstar was incorporated on August 27, 1997. Through the Hughes
         Closing Date, as defined below, the Company owned and operated the
         PRIMESTAR(R) direct to home satellite service throughout the
         continental U.S. The PRIMESTAR(R) service is transmitted via a
         satellite ("GE-2") owned and operated by GE American Communications
         ("GE Americom") at the 85(Degree) West Longitude ("W.L.") orbital
         position. As a result of the consummation of the Hughes Medium Power
         Transaction, as defined below, the Company is no longer engaged in the
         digital satellite-based television services industry. The Company is in
         the process of satisfying its remaining liabilities, terminating any
         remaining contracts and winding up its business affairs.

         Interim Financial Statements
         ----------------------------

         The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of
         the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
         adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) have been
         made which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of
         the Company as of June 30, 1999 and the results of its operations for
         the periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for
         any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for
         the entire year. These financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto
         included in the Company's December 31, 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         Estimates
         ---------

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
         amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
         results could differ from those estimates.

         Reclassifications
         -----------------

         Certain amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the 1999
         presentation.

(2)      The Hughes Transactions
         -----------------------

         Effective April 28, 1999 (the "Hughes Closing Date") and pursuant to an
         asset purchase agreement dated January 22, 1999 (the "Hughes Medium
         Power Agreement"), the Company sold its medium-power direct broadcast
         satellite business to Hughes Electronics Corporation ("Hughes"), a
         subsidiary of General Motors Corporation, for aggregate consideration
         of $1,358.2 million (the "Hughes Medium Power Transaction"). Such
         consideration was comprised of $1,100 million in cash (before working
         capital adjustments and transaction costs) and 4.871 million shares of
         General Motors Class H common stock ("GMH Stock") valued at $258.2
         million on the Hughes Closing Date. The Company recognized a gain of
         approximately $99 million, before income tax effects, upon consummation
         of the Hughes Medium Power Transaction. The purchase price is subject
         to working capital adjustments to be settled within 150 days after the
         Hughes Closing Date.

         Concurrently with the Hughes Medium Power Transaction, Phoenixstar
         reached an agreement (the "Lock-up Agreement") with holders of
         approximately 84% of the aggregate principal amount of its 10-7/8%
         Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"),
         12-1/4% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2007 (the "Senior
         Subordinated Discount Notes" and, together with the Senior Subordinated
         Notes, the "Notes"), and notes issued under its Senior Subordinated
         Credit Facility dated as of April 1, 1998 (the "Bridge Loans"). Holders
         participating in the privately negotiated transaction agreed to sell
         their Notes and Bridge Loans to the Company for cash equal to 85.6% of
         the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus stock appreciation rights
         ("SARs") on the shares of GMH Stock received by Phoenixstar in the
         Hughes Medium Power Transaction. The Company recognized a gain on the
         extinguishment of debt equal to $33,642,000 or $.17 per share in
         connection with the Lock-up Agreement.

         Each SAR issued in the transaction entitles the holder to receive a
         payment from Phoenixstar at the end of one year from the date of
         issuance in the amount, if any, by which the market price per share of
         GMH Stock at such time exceeds $47.00 per share. At June 30, 1999, such
         obligation aggregated $45,365,000. Participating Note holders and
         bridge lenders received approximately 7.8 SARs per $1,000 principal
         amount of debt sold to Phoenixstar pursuant to the Lock-up Agreement.
         Participating Note holders and bridge lenders also agreed to (i)
         consent to the transaction with Hughes and (ii) amend the indentures
         and credit agreement governing such debt obligations to remove
         substantially all covenants, other than covenants to pay interest on
         and principal of the Notes and Bridge Loan when due and covenants
         relating to certain required purchase offerings.

         Under the terms of the indentures and credit agreement governing
         Phoenixstar's subordinated debt, Phoenixstar was required to make an
         offer to purchase the remainder of the outstanding Notes and Bridge
         Loans at a purchase price equal to 101% of par plus any accrued and
         unpaid interest. In that connection, the Company purchased
         substantially all of the remaining Notes and Bridge Loans as of June
         30, 1999.

                                                                     (continued)

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


         In connection with the Hughes Medium Power Transaction and pursuant to
         a funding agreement, dated as of March 31, 1999 (the "Funding
         Agreement"), affiliates of the stockholders of the Company, other than
         TSAT, and an affiliate of Tele-Communications, Inc. (collectively, the
         "Stockholder Affiliates") committed to make funds available to the
         Company, either in the form of capital contributions or loans, up to an
         aggregate of $1,013.3 million, subject to certain conditions and
         triggering events set forth in the Funding Agreement (the "Stockholder
         Commitment"). Pursuant to such commitment, the Stockholder Affiliates
         contributed to the Company $307.7 million on the Hughes Closing Date
         (the "Initial Funding Amount"). On the Hughes Closing Date, the Company
         used a portion of the cash proceeds from the Hughes Medium Power
         Transaction and the Initial Funding Amount to (i) repay principal,
         interest and fees due under the Company's senior bank credit facility
         ($537.5 million) and (ii) fund amounts due pursuant to the Lock-up
         Agreement ($543.5 million) and (iii) fund amounts to holders of Bridge
         Loans who were not party to the Lock-up Agreement ($10.1 million).

         Subsequent to the Hughes Closing Date, the Stockholder Affiliates
         contributed to the Company an additional $148.7 million pursuant to the
         Funding Agreement. In addition, Stockholder Commitments in the amount
         of $382.6 million expired. As a result of the foregoing, remaining
         Stockholder Commitments at June 30, 1999 aggregated $174.3 million.

         In connection with their approval of the Hughes Medium Power
         Transaction and other transactions, the stockholders of Phoenixstar
         also approved the payment to TSAT of consideration in the form of 1.407
         million shares of GMH Stock (the "Phoenixstar Payment"), subject to the
         terms and conditions set forth in an agreement dated as of January 22,
         1999 (the "Phoenixstar Payment Agreement"). In consideration of the
         Phoenixstar Payment, TSAT agreed to approve the Hughes Medium Power
         Transaction and Hughes High Power Transaction (as defined below) as a
         stockholder of Phoenixstar, to modify certain agreements to facilitate
         the Hughes High Power Transaction, and to issue the Company a share
         appreciation right with respect to the shares of GMH Stock received as
         the Phoenixstar Payment, granting the Company the right to any market
         price appreciation in such GMH Stock over the one year period following
         the date of issuance, over an agreed strike price of $47.00. At June
         30, 1999, the value of such share appreciation right equaled
         $13,106,000, based upon the market value of GMH Stock on such date.

         Pursuant to the Phoenixstar Payment Agreement, TSAT has also agreed to
         forego any liquidating distribution or other payment that may be made
         in respect of the outstanding shares of Phoenixstar upon any
         dissolution and winding-up of Phoenixstar, or otherwise in respect of
         Phoenixstar's existing equity. On the Hughes Closing Date, the Company
         issued to TSAT 1.407 million shares of GMH Stock in satisfaction of the
         Phoenixstar Payment.

         At June 30, 1999, the Company is responsible for (i) the payment of
         certain obligations not assumed by Hughes and (ii) the payment of
         costs, estimated to range from $180 million to $200 million, associated
         with the termination of certain vendor and service contracts and lease
         agreements not assumed by Hughes. The Company currently expects to fund
         such obligations with available cash and additional advances and/or
         contributions from the Stockholder Affiliates pursuant to the
         Stockholder Commitment.
                                                                     (continued)

                           (formerly PRIMESTAR, Inc.)

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


         In a separate transaction and effective June 4, 1999, the Company and
         TSAT completed the sale of their high power direct broadcast satellite
         ("DBS") assets to Hughes pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated
         as of January 22, 1999 (the "Hughes High Power Agreement"), among Tempo
         Satellite, Inc., ("Tempo") a wholly-owned subsidiary of TSAT, the
         Company, PPLP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Hughes.
         The assets transferred by Tempo pursuant to the Hughes High Power
         Agreement consisted of Tempo's two high-power DBS satellites, one of
         which was in orbit at 119(Degrees) W.L. (the "In-Orbit Satellite") and
         one of which was used as a ground spare (the "Ground Satellite"), its
         FCC authorizations with respect to the 119(Degrees) W.L. orbital
         location (the "FCC License"), and certain related assets (collectively,
         the "Tempo High Power Assets").

         Tempo had previously granted the Company the transferable right and
         option (the "Tempo Purchase Option") to purchase 100% of the Tempo High
         Power Assets for aggregate consideration of $2.5 million in cash and
         the assumption of all liabilities. In addition, Tempo had previously
         granted to PPLP the right to purchase or lease 100% of the capacity of
         the DBS system being constructed by Tempo (the "Tempo Capacity Rights),
         and PPLP had made advances to Tempo to fund the construction of Tempo's
         DBS system in the aggregate amount of $465 million (the "Tempo
         Reimbursement Obligation").

         Accordingly, the Hughes High Power Agreement provided for (i) the sale
         by the Company to Hughes of the Tempo Purchase Option, (ii) the
         exercise of the Tempo Purchase Option by Hughes, and (iii) the
         termination of the Tempo Capacity Rights (collectively, the "Hughes
         High Power Transaction"). The aggregate consideration payable by Hughes
         in the Hughes High Power Transaction was $500 million, payable as
         described below.

         As regulatory approval was required to transfer the In-Orbit Satellite
         and the FCC License, the Hughes High Power Agreement provided for the
         Hughes High Power Transaction to be completed in two steps. To
         facilitate the transaction, the Tempo Purchase Option was amended to
         provide for a two-stage exercise process. The parties allocated 70% of
         the total consideration under the Hughes High Power Agreement to the
         In-Orbit Satellite and related assets and 30% of the total
         consideration thereunder to the Ground Satellite and related assets.

         The first closing under the Hughes High Power Agreement was consummated
         effective March 10, 1999. In the first closing, Hughes acquired the
         Ground Satellite and related assets for aggregate consideration of $150
         million, comprised of (i) $9,750,000 paid by Hughes to the Company and
         PPLP for the transfer to Hughes of that portion of the Tempo Purchase
         Option allocable to the Ground Satellite and the termination of that
         portion of the Tempo Capacity Rights allocable to the Ground Satellite,
         (ii) $750,000 paid by Hughes to Tempo to exercise that portion of the
         Tempo Purchase Option allocable to the Ground Satellite; and (iii) the
         assumption and payment by Hughes of a portion of the Tempo
         Reimbursement Obligation in the amount of $139,500,000.

         In addition, as required by the Hughes High Power Agreement, the
         Company and TSAT agreed to terminate the previously announced merger of
         TSAT with and into the Company, effective as of such first closing.

                                                                     (continued)

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


         The FCC approved the transfer of the FCC License to Hughes on May 28,
         1999, and the second closing under the Hughes High Power Agreement was
         consummated effective June 4, 1999. In the second closing, Hughes
         acquired the In-Orbit Satellite and related assets, including all
         rights of Tempo with respect to the FCC License, for aggregate
         consideration of $350 million comprised of (i) $22,750,000 paid by
         Hughes to the Company and PPLP for the transfer to Hughes of that
         portion of the Tempo Purchase Option allocable to the In-Orbit
         Satellite and the termination of that portion of the Tempo Capacity
         Rights allocable to the In-Orbit Satellite, (ii) $1,750,000 paid by
         Hughes to Tempo to exercise that portion of the Tempo Purchase Option
         allocable to the In-Orbit Satellite; and (iii) the assumption and
         payment by Hughes of the remainder of the Tempo Reimbursement
         Obligation, in the amount of $325,500,000. In addition, the Company
         agreed to forgive amounts due from Tempo not assumed by Hughes in the
         amount of $9,346,000.

(3)      The Restructuring
         -----------------

         Effective April 1, 1998 (the "Restructuring Closing Date") and pursuant
         to (i) a Merger and Contribution Agreement dated as of February 6, 1998
         (the "Restructuring Agreement"), among TSAT, the Company, Time Warner
         Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE"), Advance/Newhouse Partnership
         ("Newhouse"), Comcast Corporation ("Comcast"), Cox Communications, Inc.
         ("Cox"), MediaOne of Delaware, Inc. ("MediaOne"), and GE Americom, and
         (ii) an Asset Transfer Agreement dated as of February 6, 1998, between
         TSAT and the Company, a business combination (the "Restructuring") was
         consummated. In connection with the Restructuring, TSAT contributed and
         transferred to the Company (the "TSAT Asset Transfer") all of TSAT's
         assets and liabilities except (i) the capital stock of Tempo, (ii) the
         consideration received by TSAT in the Restructuring and (iii) the
         rights and obligations of TSAT under agreements with the Company and
         others. In addition, (i) the business of PPLP, (ii) the business of
         distributing the PRIMESTAR(R) programming service ("PRIMESTAR(R)"),
         including certain related assets and liabilities of each of TWE,
         Newhouse, Comcast, Cox and affiliates of MediaOne, and (iii) the
         interest in PPLP of each of TWE, Newhouse, Comcast, Cox, affiliates of
         MediaOne and GE Americom (collectively, the "Non-TSAT Parties") were
         consolidated into the Company.

         In connection with the Restructuring, each of TSAT, Comcast, Cox,
         MediaOne, Newhouse, TWE and GE Americom received from the Company (i)
         cash or an assumption of indebtedness, (ii) shares of Class A Common
         Stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Company, (iii) in the case of
         TSAT only, shares of Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, of
         the Company, and (iv) except in the case of TSAT and GE Americom,
         shares of Class C Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, of the
         Company, in each case in an amount determined pursuant to the
         Restructuring Agreement. The total consideration paid by Phoenixstar to
         the Non-TSAT Parties (including assumed liabilities) aggregated
         approximately $2.2 billion comprising $1.3 billion of cash and assumed
         liabilities and $900 million of common stock.

                                                                     (continued)

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


         The TSAT Asset Transfer was recorded at TSAT's historical cost, and the
         remaining elements of the Restructuring, as set forth above, were
         accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The fair value
         of the consideration issued to the Non-TSAT Parties was allocated to
         the assets and liabilities acquired based upon the estimated fair
         values of such assets and liabilities.

         TSAT was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes and the
         predecessor for financial reporting purposes due to the fact that TSAT
         owned the largest interest in the Company immediately following
         consummation of the Restructuring.

         On a pro forma basis, the Company's revenue, net loss and loss per
         common share for the six months ended June 30, 1998 would have been
         $744,075,000, $247,418,000 and $1.62 assuming the Restructuring had
         been consummated on January 1, 1998. Such unaudited pro forma financial
         information is based upon historical results of operations adjusted for
         acquisition costs and, in the opinion of management, is not necessarily
         indicative of the results had the Restructuring been consummated on
         January 1, 1998.

(4)      Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
         --------------------------------

         The earnings (loss) per common share for the three months and six
         months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is based on the weighted average
         number of shares outstanding during the period (200,942,000 for the
         three months and six months ended June 30, 1999; and 200,942,000 and
         134,287,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998,
         respectively).

(5)      Supplemental Disclosures to Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
         -----------------------------------------------------------------

         Cash paid for interest was $68,558,000 and $51,179,000 during the six
         months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash paid for income
         taxes was not material during such periods.

         Significant non-cash investing and financing activities for the six
         months ended June 30, 1998 are reflected in the following table
         (amounts in thousands):

         Cash paid in Restructuring:
            Property and equipment acquired             $     716,821

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


(6)      Transactions With Related Parties
         ---------------------------------

         The Company was a party to a satellite transponder service agreement,
         as amended (the "GE-2 Agreement") with an affiliate of GE Americom for
         satellite service on GE-2. Charges to the Company for the use of GE-2
         and other services provided by GE Americom aggregated $28,392,000 and
         $17,085,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
         respectively and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying
         consolidated statements of operations.

         TCI and the Non-TSAT Parties, other than GE Americom, arranged for
         letters of credit (the "GE-2 Letters of Credit") to support the
         Company's obligations under the GE-2 Agreement. Pursuant to the
         Restructuring Agreement, the Company reimburses TCI and the Non-TSAT
         Parties for fees related to the Partnership Letters of Credit and the
         GE-2 Letters of Credit. Such reimbursements aggregated $4,143,000 and
         $5,474,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
         respectively and are included in interest expense in the accompanying
         consolidated statement of operations.

         From April 1, 1998 to April 28, 1999, a subsidiary of TCI provided
         satellite uplink services to the Company. Charges for such services
         aggregated $4,843,000 and $4,014,000 for the six months ended June 30,
         1999 and 1998, respectively and are included in operating expenses in
         the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

         TCI also provided the Company with customer support services from TCI's
         Boise, Idaho call center. Amounts charged by TCI to the Company for
         such services aggregated $12,024,000 and $10,243,000 during the six
         months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively and are included in
         selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
         consolidated statements of operations.

         Prior to the Restructuring, the Partnership provided programming
         services to TSAT and other authorized distributors in exchange for a
         fee based upon the number of subscribers receiving programming
         services. In addition, the Partnership arranged for satellite capacity
         and uplink services, and provided national marketing and administrative
         support services in exchange for a separate authorization fee.

(7)      Commitments and Contingencies
         -----------------------------

         The Company has contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings and
         other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it
         is reasonably possible the Company may incur losses upon conclusion of
         such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made.
         In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any,
         which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be
         material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial
         statements.

Material Changes in Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------------

         As discussed in note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, the Hughes Medium Power Transaction was consummated on April 28,
1999. As a result of such consummation, the Company is no longer engaged in the
digital satellite-based television service industry. The Company is in the
process of satisfying its remaining liabilities, terminating any remaining
contracts and winding up its business affairs.

         As discussed in note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, the Restructuring was consummated on April 1, 1998. As a result of
the Restructuring, the Company owned and operated the PRIMESTAR(R) digital
satellite business. The Company offered a direct to home satellite service with
over 160 channels of digital video and audio programming throughout the
continental United States. Prior to the Restructuring, the PRIMESTAR(R) service
was owned and operated by the Partnership and separately distributed and
serviced by affiliates of the partners of the Partnership (the "Distributors").
As a result of the Restructuring, the entire PRIMESTAR(R) digital satellite
business was consolidated into the Company.

Material Changes in Results of Operations, continued
- ----------------------------------------------------

         TSAT was identified as the acquiror for accounting purposes and the
predecessor for financial reporting purposes due to the fact that TSAT owned the
largest interest in the Company immediately following the consummation of the
Restructuring. Accordingly, the periods prior to the Restructuring represent the
results of operations of TSAT, and the periods subsequent to the Restructuring
include the results of operations of TSAT, the Partnership and the Non-TSAT
Parties. To the extent not otherwise described, increases in the Company's
revenue and operating, selling, general and administrative expenses, as detailed
below, are primarily related to the Restructuring.

         The Company added 20,000 net customers during the three months ended
March 31, 1999 for a total of 2,316,000 customers at March 31, 1999. During the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997, (i) the Company's annualized subscriber churn rate (which represents
the annualized number of subscriber terminations divided by the weighted average
number of subscribers during the period) was 37.3%, 27.1%, 33.2% and 30.1%,
respectively and (ii) the average subscriber life implied by such subscriber
churn rate was 2.7 years, 3.7, years 3.0 years and 3.3 years, respectively. The
Company believes that the higher churn rate in 1999 is due to increased
competitive pressures in 1999 and the announcement of the Hughes Medium Power
Transaction. In addition, the Company reduced its marketing efforts in the first
quarter of 1999 as a result of the announcement of the Hughes Medium Power
Transaction.

         During 1998, in an effort to remain competitive, attract new customers
and retain existing customers, the Company implemented various new service
offerings and changed the pricing of certain of its existing offerings. For
example, the Company implemented a national pricing and programming package
structure effective July 1, 1998, whereby customers would receive the same
programming packages for the same price throughout the country. Such national
pricing structure had the effect of lowering certain rates for certain packages
in certain areas of the country. In addition, the Company initiated promotional
offers including installation rebates and packages with reduced rental fees. The
Company believes that such new service offerings, pricing changes and
promotional offers attracted new customers and helped retain existing customers,
but had a negative impact on the Company's recurring revenue per customer and
installation revenue per new customer installed.

         Revenue decreased 59% and increased 1% during the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively, as compared to the corresponding
prior year periods. The Company's average monthly programming and equipment
rental revenue per customer decreased from $57 during 1998 to $55 during 1999.
Such decrease was primarily the result of the aforementioned changes in the
price structure of the Company's service offerings. The average installation
revenue from each customer installed decreased from $95 in 1998 to $36 in 1999.
Such decrease is primarily due to a $50 rebate offer that was initiated by the
Company in April 1998 and increased to $100 in September 1998.

         Through the Restructuring Closing Date, the Partnership provided
programming services to the Company and other authorized Distributors in
exchange for a fee based upon the number of customers receiving programming
services. The Partnership also arranged for satellite capacity and uplink
services, and provided national marketing and administrative support services,
in exchange for a separate authorization fee from each Distributor, including
the Company, based on such Distributor's total number of authorized satellite
receivers.

Material Changes in Results of Operations, continued
- ----------------------------------------------------

         Subsequent to the Restructuring Closing Date, operating expenses were
primarily comprised of programming, satellite capacity and uplink costs (costs,
which prior to the Restructuring were included in charges from the Partnership)
and amounts related to customer fulfillment activities. Also included in
operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 is $15,192,000
related to the cancellation of the Company's high power uplinking contract.

         Selling and marketing expenses, which represented 20% of revenue during
the six months ended June 30, 1999, include sales salaries and commissions,
marketing and advertising expenses, and costs associated with the operation of
customer service call centers. General and administrative expenses represented
27% and 11% of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase in such percentage is primarily attributable to (i)
the Phoenixstar Payment ($66,143,000) (ii) the accrual of severance payments in
connection with the Hughes Medium Power Transaction ($25,740,000) and (iii)
contract and lease cancellation fees incurred as a result of the Hughes Medium
Power Transaction ($10,393,000).

         During the second half of 1997, the Company began offering a marketing
program that allowed subscribers to purchase the Company's proprietary satellite
reception equipment at a price that was less than the Company's cost. Losses
incurred by the Company on such sales of satellite reception equipment are
included in selling expense in the period such sales are consummated. As the
Company stopped aggressively marketing such program in the fourth quarter of
1998, such losses decreased to $299,000 in 1999 from $12,077,000 during 1998.

         The $12,058,000 or 7% decrease in depreciation expense during the six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the corresponding prior year period,
is the result of the sale of the Company's depreciable assets in connection with
the Hughes Medium Power Transaction.

         The Company recognized a gain of $99,080,000 upon consummation of the
Hughes Medium Power Transaction and a gain of $11,615,000 upon the consummation
of the Hughes High Power Transaction. In addition, the Company recognized a gain
on the extinguishment of debt of $33,642,000 in connection with the Lock-up
Agreement.

         The Company's loss before extraordinary item of $69,780,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 represents a decrease of $87,128,000 as compared to a
loss before extraordinary item of $156,908,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. Such decreased loss before extraordinary item is due primarily to the
gains recorded in connection with the Hughes Transactions partially offset by an
increased operating loss.

Material Changes in Financial Position
- --------------------------------------

         Concurrently with the Hughes Medium Power Transaction, Phoenixstar
reached agreement with holders of approximately 84% of the aggregate principal
amount of its Senior Subordinated Notes, Senior Subordinated Discount Notes and
Bridge Loans. Holders participating in the privately negotiated transaction
agreed to consent to the transaction with Hughes, amend the indentures and
credit agreement governing such debt obligations to remove substantially all
covenants, and sell their Notes and Bridge Loans to the Company for cash equal
to 85.6% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus stock appreciation
rights on the shares of GMH Stock received by Phoenixstar in the Hughes Medium
Power Transaction. Each SAR issued in the transaction entitles the holder to
receive a payment from Phoenixstar at the end of one year from the date of
issuance in the amount, if any, by which the market price per share of GMH Stock
at such time exceeds $47.00 per share. Participating note holders and bridge
lenders received approximately 7.8 SARs per $1,000 principal amount of debt sold
to Phoenixstar pursuant to the Lock-up Agreement.

         Under the terms of the indentures and credit agreement governing
Phoenixstar's subordinated debt, Phoenixstar was required to make an offer to
purchase the remainder of the outstanding Notes and Bridge Loans at a purchase
price equal to 101% of par plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In that
connection, the Company purchased substantially all of the remaining Notes and
Bridge Loans as of June 30, 1999.

         In connection with the Hughes Medium Power Transaction and pursuant to
the Funding Agreement, the Stockholder Affiliates committed to make funds
available to the Company, either in the form of capital contributions or loans,
up to an aggregate of $1,013.3 million, subject to certain conditions and
triggering events set forth in the Funding Agreement. Pursuant to such
commitment, the Stockholder Affiliates contributed to the Company $307.7 million
on the Hughes Closing Date. On the Hughes Closing Date, the Company used a
portion of the cash proceeds from the Hughes Medium Power Transaction and the
Initial Funding Amount to (i) repay principal, interest and fees due under the
Company's bank credit facility ($537.5 million), (ii) fund amounts due pursuant
to the Lock-up Agreement ($543.5 million) and (iii) fund amounts to holders of
Bridge Loans who were not party to the Lock-up Agreement ($10.1 million).

         Subsequent to the Hughes Closing Date, the Stockholder Affiliates
contributed to the Company an additional $148.7 million pursuant to the Funding
Agreement. In addition, Stockholder Commitments in the amount of $382.6 million
expired. As a result of the foregoing, remaining Stockholder Commitments at June
30, 1999 aggregated $174.3 million.

Material Changes in Financial Position, continued
- -------------------------------------------------

         In addition, the stockholders of Phoenixstar approved the payment to
TSAT of consideration in the form of 1.407 million shares of GMH Stock, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Phoenixstar Payment Agreement. In
consideration of the Phoenixstar Payment, TSAT agreed to approve the Hughes
Medium Power Transaction and Hughes High Power Transaction as a stockholder of
Phoenixstar, to modify certain agreements to facilitate the Hughes High Power
Transaction, and to issue the Company a share appreciation right with respect to
the shares of GMH Stock received as the Phoenixstar Payment, granting the
Company the right to any market price appreciation in such GMH Stock over the
one year period following the date of issuance, over an agreed strike price of
$47.00. Pursuant to the Phoenixstar Payment Agreement, TSAT has also agreed to
forego any liquidating distribution or other payment that may be made in respect
of the outstanding shares of Phoenixstar upon any dissolution and winding-up of
Phoenixstar, or otherwise in respect of Phoenixstar's existing equity. On the
Hughes Closing Date, the Company issued to TSAT 1.407 million shares of GMH
Stock in satisfaction of the Phoenixstar Payment.

         The obligations under the Bridge Loan Agreement were due in full one
year from the Closing Date. However, the Company had the option to convert any
outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Loan on such date to a term loan
maturing on April 1, 2008. The Company gave notice of such conversion on March
29, 1999, in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement.

         In addition, on the Conversion Date, the Company became obligated to
enter into a stock warrant agreement with the Lenders providing for the issuance
of warrants to purchase common stock of the Company equal to 2% of the Company's
outstanding common stock on the Conversion Date. The warrants are to be
exercisable over a ten-year period at a nominal exercise price. At June 30,
1999, no such agreement had been entered into.

         During the second quarter of 1999, the Company used the cash proceeds
from the Hughes High Power Transaction and funds provided by the Stockholder
Affiliates pursuant to the Funding Agreement to repay the Partnership Credit
Facility. In connection with such repayment, letters of credit which
collateralized the Partnership Credit Facility and which were arranged for by
the Stockholder Affiliates were terminated.

         At June 30, 1999, the Company is responsible for (i) the payment of
certain obligations not assumed by Hughes and (ii) the payment of costs,
currently estimated to range from $180 million to $200 million, associated with
the termination of certain vendor and service contracts and lease agreements not
assumed by Hughes. The Company currently expects to fund such obligations with
available cash and additional advances and/or contributions from the Stockholder
Affiliates pursuant to the Stockholder Commitments.

         As noted above, the consideration received by the Company in the Hughes
Medium Power Transaction comprised of $1.1 billion in cash and 4.871 million
shares of GMH Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Hughes Medium Power Agreement,
Phoenixstar will not be able to dispose of the GMH Stock for a period of one
year from the closing of the Hughes Medium Power Transaction except for certain
transfers to affiliates. Phoenixstar is considering its options with respect to
the GMH Stock, but has not yet made any decisions as to the ultimate disposition
of such stock.

Material Changes in Financial Position, continued
- -------------------------------------------------

         The Company has a history of operating losses and reported an
accumulated deficit at June 30, 1999. The Stockholder Affiliates have committed
to make funds available to the Company, either in the form of capital
contributions or loans, up to an aggregate of $174.3 million, subject to certain
conditions and triggering events set forth in the Funding Agreement. Management
of the Company believes, but cannot assure, that when such funds are combined
with the Company's existing sources of liquidity, that the Company will be able
to meet its obligations as they become due and payable.

         The Company is in the process of identifying and addressing issues
surrounding the Year 2000 ("Y2K") and their impact on the Company's operations.
The issue surrounding the Year 2000 is whether the Company's operations and
financial systems, or the systems used by the companies with whom the Company
conducts business, will properly recognize and process date sensitive
information before and after January 1, 2000. The following discussion is based
on information currently available to the Company.

         Prior to the Hughes Closing Date, the Company completed an initial
assessment which identified areas of risk associated with the Year 2000. The
Year 2000 Program Office was established to oversee the Company's Year 2000
project. Detailed inventories were gathered and cost estimates were finalized.
For each functional area of the project, detailed work plans were developed and
put into place. Separate test environments completed construction and testing
was initiated in the first quarter of 1999.

         In connection with the Hughes Medium Power Transaction, Hughes acquired
substantially all of the Company's systems. The Company has analyzed and
continues to analyze its remaining internal IT and non-IT systems. The Company
believes that such systems are currently capable of functioning without
substantial Y2K compliance problems.

         Through June 1999, the Company has spent approximately $1,375,000 for
Y2K issues, $1,125,000 of which was spent in 1999, and does not currently expect
to spend any additional amounts for Y2K related issues.

         The Company does not currently believe that any of the foregoing will
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or its results of
operations. However, the process of evaluating the Company's products and third
party products and systems is ongoing. Although not expected, failures of
critical suppliers and/or systems could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations. As widely publicized,
Y2K compliance has many issues and aspects, not all of which the Company is able
to accurately forecast or predict. There is no way to assure that Y2K will not
have adverse effects on the Company, some of which could be material.
