GENERAL

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of
the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal,
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly state our consolidated
financial position and consolidated results of operations have been included.
These financial statements should be read in connection with our consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1998 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

        Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during such periods. Options and warrants granted by
us have not been included in the calculation of net loss per share because such
items were antidilutive.

        The following is a reconciliation of net loss per common share before
preferred stock dividend requirements to net loss per share applicable to common
stockholders:

        Marketable securities consist of fixed income securities and are stated
at market value. Marketable securities are defined as trading securities under
the provision of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"), and unrealized holding gains and losses are
reflected in earnings. Unrealized holding gains were $52,000 and $233,000 at
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS

        Restricted investments consist of fixed income securities and are stated
at amortized cost plus accrued interest income. Restricted investments are
defined as held-to-maturity securities under the provision of SFAS No. 115 and
unrealized holding gains and losses are not reflected in earnings. Unrealized
holding losses were $234,000 at June 30, 1999. The securities included in
Restricted Investments are restricted to provide for the first six scheduled
interest payments on our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include interest on
funds borrowed to finance construction. Capitalized interest was $39,635,000 and
$16,243,000 at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE

        We entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America and other
lenders in July 1998 under which Bank of America and other lenders agreed to
provide us a term loan facility of up to $115 million. This term loan facility
matures on the earlier of February 29, 2000 and ten days prior to the launch of
our second satellite. The proceeds of this facility are being used to fund
progress payments for the purchase of launch services and to pay interest, fees
and other related expenses. The amounts advanced under this facility bear
interest at a variable rate that we select.

DEFERRED SATELLITE PAYMENTS

        Under an amended and restated contract (the "Loral Satellite Contract")
with Space Systems/Loral, Inc. ("Loral"), Loral has agreed to defer certain
amounts due under the Loral Satellite Contract. The amounts deferred bear
interest at 10% per year and are due in quarterly installments beginning in June
2002. We have the right to prepay any deferred payments together with accrued
interest, without penalty.

ENGINEERING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

        We have entered into an agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc.
("Lucent") pursuant to which Lucent has agreed to use commercially reasonable
efforts to deliver integrated circuits ("chip sets"), which will be used in
consumer electronic devices capable of receiving our broadcasts. In addition, we
have entered into agreements with Alpine, Panasonic, Recoton, Visteon and Delco
to design and develop equipment that will be used to receive our broadcasts,
whereby we have agreed to pay certain development costs. We record expenses
under these contracts as the work is performed. Total expenses related to these
contracts were $6,398,000 and $12,448,000 in the three month period and six
month period ended June 30, 1999, respectively.

SPECIAL CHARGES

        During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, we decided to enhance our
satellite delivery system to include a third in-orbit satellite and to terminate
certain launch and orbit related contracts. We recorded special charges totaling
approximately $25.7 million related primarily to the termination of such
contracts.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

        Certain amounts in the prior period's financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

OVERVIEW

        CD Radio was organized in May 1990 and is in its development stage. Our
principal activities to date have included technology development, our
terrestrial repeater network development, arranging for design and development
of chip sets and receivers, obtaining regulatory approval for the CD Radio
service, commencement of construction of four satellites, acquisition of content
for our programming, strategic planning, market research, recruitment of our
management team and securing financing for working capital and capital
expenditures. We require additional capital to complete development and commence
commercial operations of CD Radio. We cannot assure you that we will ever
commence operations, that we will attain any particular level of revenues or
that we will achieve profitability.

        We have recently announced the following alliances in connection with
the development of CD Radio.

               FORD. On June 11, 1999, we entered into an agreement with Ford
        Motor Company ("Ford") which anticipates Ford manufacturing, marketing
        and selling vehicles that include receivers capable of receiving CD
        Radio's broadcasts. This exclusive agreement includes all seven Ford
        brands -- Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Volvo.

               ALPINE. On July 13, 1999, we announced an agreement with Alpine
        Electronics Inc. pursuant to which Alpine will design and develop CD
        Radio receivers for installation by automotive manufacturers and for
        sale directly to consumers in the electronics aftermarket.



                                       6






<PAGE>



               PANASONIC. On July 27, 1999, we announced an agreement pursuant
        to which a division of Matsushita, the world's largest consumer
        electronics company and the maker of Panasonic products, will design and
        develop CD Radio receivers for installation by automotive manufacturers
        and for sale to consumers in the electronics aftermarket.

               NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO. On June 8, 1999, we entered into an
        agreement with National Public Radio ("NPR") pursuant to which NPR will
        provide programming for two of CD Radio's non-music channels as well as
        classical and jazz related interviews and features for use on
        CD Radio music channels.

               JOHN F. KENNEDY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS AND NATIONAL
        SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. On June 23, 1999, we announced a strategic alliance
        with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the National
        Symphony Orchestra pursuant to which the Kennedy Center and the National
        Symphony Orchestra will provide new and archival music, artist
        interviews, children's entertainment and other targeted programming for
        broadcast on CD Radio.

               BRITISH BROADCASTING COMPANY AND PUBLIC RADIO INTERNATIONAL. On
        May 10, 1999, we entered into an agreement with the British Broadcasting
        Company and Public Radio International ("PRI") pursuant to which CD
        Radio will broadcast both the English and Spanish language versions of
        the BBC World Service and PRI will create a news, information and
        entertainment channel for broadcast on CD Radio.


        During the terms of the programming and broadcast agreements described
above, CD Radio will be the exclusive satellite digital audio radio service to
carry programming produced by NPR, PRI, the Kennedy Center and the National
Symphony Orchestra and will be the only satellite digital audio radio service
to carry the Spanish language version of the BBC World Service.

        Each of the elements of the CD Radio system - satellites, terrestrial
repeater network, National Broadcast Studio and CD Radio receivers -- is on
schedule to permit us to begin operations at the end of the fourth quarter of
2000.

               SATELLITES. Loral is constructing our four satellites. Our first
        satellite has been fully assembled and is undergoing testing; the last
        major components of our second satellite, the communications panels, are
        currently being integrated into the satellite; and our third satellite
        is in the process of being assembled. In addition, the major structural
        parts for our spare fourth satellite have been manufactured and will be
        assembled shortly. We have ordered certain long lead time elements for a
        fifth satellite.

               Each of our first three satellites will be launched on a Proton
        launch vehicle. These launches are currently scheduled for next January,
        March and May. Proton launch vehicles have an overall reliability of 92%
        based on their last 50 flights.

               Loral SkyNet, an affiliate of Loral, is constructing for us
        tracking, telemetry and command earth stations in Quito, Ecuador, and
        Utive, Panama. These stations are on schedule to be completed and fully
        operational in January 2000. All necessary satellite uplink facilities
        will be completed and fully operational in the first quarter of 2000.

               TERRESTRIAL REPEATER NETWORK. We currently expect to deploy
        approximately 105 terrestrial repeaters in 46 metropolitan areas.
        During 1998, we completed the construction and testing of our
        terrestrial repeater network in San Francisco on an experimental basis.
        During 1999 and 2000, we expect to execute agreements for site
        acquisition, site design and site construction services for the
        remainder of our terrestrial repeaters, acquire all necessary sites and
        complete construction at all of these sites. In addition, in 1999 we
        expect to purchase the digital broadcast equipment necessary to operate
        our terrestrial repeater network. Our terrestrial repeater network is
        scheduled to be completed, tested and fully operational during the
        fourth quarter of 2000.

               NATIONAL BROADCAST STUDIO. Construction of our National Broadcast
        Studio has been completed and state-of-the-art digital broadcast
        equipment is currently being installed. Our National Broadcast Studio is
        expected to be fully operational in October 1999.

               CD RADIO RECEIVERS. CD Radio receivers are currently being
        developed by Alpine, Panasonic, Recoton, Visteon and Delco. We expect
        that limited quantities of CD Radio receivers will be available to
        purchasers of vehicles manufactured by Ford beginning at the end of the
        fourth quarter of 2000, with increasing quantities of such receivers
        becoming available in each subsequent quarter of 2001. CD Radio
        receivers are expected to be available in the autosound aftermarket
        starting in the first quarter of 2001, with increasing quantities of
        CD Radio receivers becoming available in each subsequent quarter of
        2001.

        Based upon this schedule, we do not expect to recognize revenues from
operations until the first quarter of 2001, at the earliest.

        Upon commencing commercial operations, we expect our primary source of
revenues to be monthly subscription fees. We currently anticipate that our
subscription fee will be $9.95 per month to receive CD Radio broadcasts, with a
one time, modest activation fee per subscriber. In addition, we expect to derive
revenues from directly selling or bartering advertising on our non-music
channels. We do not intend to manufacture the receivers necessary to receive CD
Radio and thus we will not receive any revenues from their sale. Although we
hold patents covering some of the technology which will be used in these
receivers, we expect to license our technology to manufacturers at no charge.

        We expect that the operating expenses associated with commercial
operations will consist primarily of marketing, sales, programming, maintenance
of our satellite and broadcasting system and general and administrative costs.
Costs to acquire programming are expected to include payments to build and
maintain an extensive music library and royalty payments for broadcasting music
(calculated based on a percentage of revenues). Marketing, sales, general and
administrative costs are expected to consist primarily of advertising costs,
salaries of employees, rent and other administrative expenses. As of August 6,
1999, we had 65 employees and 15 part-time consultants. We expect to have
approximately 150 employees by the time we commence commercial operations.

        In addition to funding initial operating losses, we require funds for
working capital, interest and financing costs on borrowings and capital
expenditures in the near term.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

        We recorded net losses of $12,601,000 and $30,177,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Our total operating expenses
were $13,887,000 and $28,565,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively. In the 1998 quarter, we decided to enhance our satellite
delivery system to include a third in-orbit satellite and to terminate certain
launch and orbit related contracts. We recorded special charges totaling
approximately $25.7 million related primarily to the termination of such
contracts. Excluding these special charges, we recorded a net loss of $4,495,000
and operating expenses of $2,883,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

        Engineering design and development costs were $7,433,000 and $395,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Engineering
costs increased in the 1999 quarter primarily due to payments to Lucent in
connection with the chip set development effort and payments to consumer
electronic manufacturers in connection with receiver development efforts.

        General and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 to $6,454,000 from $2,488,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. General and administrative expenses increased due to the occupancy of our
new offices and national broadcast studio and the growth of our management team
and the workforce necessary to develop and commence the broadcast of CD Radio.
The major components of general and administrative expenses in the 1999 quarter
were salaries and employment related costs (32%), rent and occupancy costs (21%)
and legal and regulatory fees (13%), while in the 1998 quarter the major
components were salaries and employment related costs (30%), rent and occupancy
costs (24%), and legal and regulatory fees (16%). The remaining portion of
general and administrative expenses (34% in the 1999 quarter and 30% in the 1998
quarter) consisted of other costs such as insurance, market research,
consulting, travel, depreciation and supplies, with no such amount exceeding 10%
of the total in the 1999 quarter and only consulting (12%) exceeding 10% of the
total in the 1998 quarter.

        The increase in interest and investment income to $3,536,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, from $1,585,000 in the three months ended June
30, 1998, was the result of higher average balances of cash, marketable
securities and restricted investments during the 1999 quarter. The higher
average balances of cash, marketable securities and restricted investments
during the quarter were due to the proceeds from the issuance of notes in the
second quarter of 1999 and stock sales during the fourth quarter of 1998
exceeding the amount of expenditures for satellite and launch vehicle
construction, other capital expenditures and operating expenses.

        Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $2,250,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 and was $3,159,000 in the three months ended
June 30, 1998. This decrease in net interest expense was due to capitalized
interest increasing by an amount ($10,476,000) greater than the corresponding
increase in interest expense ($9,567,000).

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

        We recorded net losses of $23,045,000 and $36,015,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Our total operating expenses were
$25,762,000 and $30,898,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Excluding the special charges totaling $25.7 million recorded in
the 1998 second quarter, we recorded a net loss of $10,333,000 and operating
expenses of $5,216,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.




                                       9






<PAGE>

        Engineering design and development costs were $14,344,000 and $774,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Engineering costs
increased in the 1999 period primarily due to payments to Lucent in connection
with the chip set development effort and payments to consumer electronic
manufacturers in connection with receiver development efforts.

        General and administrative expenses increased for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 to $11,418,000 from $4,442,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. General and administrative expenses increased due to the occupancy of our
new offices and national broadcast studio and the growth of our management team
and the workforce necessary to develop and commence the broadcast of CD Radio.
The major components of general and administrative expenses in the 1999 period
were salaries and employment related costs (30%), rent and occupancy costs (25%)
and legal and regulatory fees (14%), while in the 1998 period the major
components were salaries and employment related costs (27%), rent and occupancy
costs (16%), and legal and regulatory fees (15%). The remaining portion of
general and administrative expenses (31% in the 1999 period and 42% in the 1998
period) consisted of other costs such as insurance, market research, consulting,
travel, depreciation and supplies, with no such amount exceeding 10% of the
total in the 1999 period and only consulting (16%) exceeding 10% of the total in
the 1998 period.

        The increase of interest income to $6,400,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, from $3,903,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1998, was the
result of higher average balances of cash, marketable securities and restricted
investments during the 1999 period. The higher average balances of cash,
marketable securities and restricted investments during the period were due to
the proceeds from the issuance of notes in the second quarter of 1999 and stock
sales during the fourth quarter of 1998 exceeding the amount of expenditures for
satellite and launch vehicle construction, other capital expenditures and
operating expenses.

        Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, decreased to $3,683,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, from $8,982,000 in the 1998 period. This
decrease in net interest expense was due to capitalized interest increasing by
an amount ($20,326,000) greater than the corresponding increase in interest
expense ($15,027,000).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At June 30, 1999, we had a total of cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities and restricted investments of $356,028,000 and working capital of
$204,693,000 compared with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of
approximately $265,623,000 and working capital of $180,966,000 at December 31,
1998. The increases in the respective balances are due primarily to the proceeds
from the issuance of units consisting of our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due
2009 and related warrants during the 1999 second quarter (see - Sources of
Funding) exceeding capital expenditures and operating expenses for the first six
months of 1999. As part of the issuance of the notes in the 1999 second quarter,
we were required to place approximately $79 million of government securities in
a restricted account to be used only to pay the interest on these notes during
their first three years.

FUNDING REQUIREMENTS

        We require near term funding to continue building our system. We can
fund our planned operations and the construction of our system into the first
quarter of 2000 from our existing working capital. We estimate that we will
require approximately $1,170 million to develop and commence operations by the
end of the fourth quarter of 2000. This amount reflects additional engineering
design and development costs for CD Radio receivers; increased capital
requirements for our terrestrial repeater network; increases in premiums in the
market for satellite launch and in-orbit insurance; costs for engineering
analysis on potential alternative satellite launch platforms; and other
increased operating costs. Of the total amount required, we have raised, have
access to or have identified sources for approximately $1 billion (which
includes $115 million of debt that must be repaid by the earlier of February 29,
2000 and ten days prior to the launch of our second satellite), leaving
anticipated additional cash needs of approximately $170 million to fund our
operations through the end of the fourth quarter of 2000. If Bank of America is
unable to arrange a new credit facility for us, we will need to raise an
additional $221 million to fund our operations through the end of the fourth
quarter of 2000. We anticipate additional cash requirements of approximately
$150 million to fund our operating costs during the first full year of
operations. This amount reflects additional engineering design and development
costs for CD Radio receivers; increases in the amount of chip set subsidies for
CD Radio receivers; increases in premiums in the market for satellite launch and
in-orbit insurance; and other increased operating costs. We expect to finance
the remainder of our funding requirements through the future issuance of debt or
equity securities, or a combination of debt and equity securities.

        To build and launch the satellites necessary for the operations of CD
Radio, we entered into the Loral Satellite Contract with Loral. The Loral
Satellite Contract provides for Loral to construct, launch and deliver three
satellites, in-orbit and checked-out, to construct for us a fourth satellite
for use as a ground spare and to become our launch service provider. We are
committed to make aggregate payments of approximately $718 million under the
Loral Satellite Contract. We have also entered into an amendment to the Loral
Satellite Contract pursuant to which we will purchase $15 million of certain
long-lead time parts for a fifth satellite. As of June 30, 1999, $303 million of
this obligation had been satisfied. Under the Loral Satellite Contract, with the
exception of a payment made to Loral in March 1993, payments are made in
installments that commenced in April 1997 and will end in December 2003.
Approximately half of these payments are contingent upon Loral meeting
specified milestones in the construction of our satellites.

        If there is a satellite launch failure, we will be required to pay Loral
the deferred amount for the affected satellite no later than 120 days after the
date of the failure. If we elect to put one of our first three satellites into
ground storage, rather than having it shipped to the launch site, the deferred
amount for that satellite will become due within 60 days of this election.

        We will also require funds for working capital, interest on borrowings,
acquisition of programming, financing costs and operating expenses until some
time after the commencement of our commercial operations. We expect our interest
expense will increase significantly when compared to our 1998 interest expense
as a result of the issuance of our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 in the
1999 second quarter; however, our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007
will not require cash payments of interest until June 2003. A portion of the net
proceeds from the issuance of our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 was used
to purchase a portfolio of U.S. government securities in an amount sufficient to
pay the first six payments of interest on our 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due
2009.

        We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain additional financing on
favorable terms, or at all, or that we will be able to do so in a timely
fashion. The agreements and instruments governing our existing indebtedness
contain, and documents governing any indebtedness incurred in the future are
expected to contain, provisions limiting our ability to incur additional
indebtedness. If additional financing were not available on a timely basis, we
would be required to delay satellite and/or launch vehicle construction to
conserve cash and to fund continued operations, which would cause delays in the
commencement of operations and increase costs.





                                       11






<PAGE>

        The amount and timing of our actual cash requirements will depend upon
numerous factors, including costs associated with the construction and
deployment of our satellite system and terrestrial repeater network, costs
associated with the design and development of chip sets and receivers, the rate
of growth of our business after commencing service, costs of financing and the
possibility of unanticipated costs. Additional funds would be required if there
are delays, cost overruns, unanticipated expenses, launch failures, launch
services or satellite system change orders, or any shortfalls in estimated
levels of operating cash flow.

SOURCES OF FUNDING

        To date, we have funded our capital needs through the issuance of debt
and equity. As of June 30, 1999, we had received a total of $441 million in net
equity capital. Of this amount, $192 million of our equity capital was received
in 1997 as a result of the issuance of 5,400,000 shares of 5% Delayed Preferred
Stock, resulting in net proceeds of $121 million, and 4,955,488 shares of common
stock, resulting in net proceeds of $71 million. A total of 1,905,488 shares of
our common stock were sold to Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. in August 1997
and 3,050,000 shares of common stock were sold to the public in November 1997.
In November 1997, we exchanged 1,846,799 shares of our newly issued 10 1/2%
Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock")
for all of the outstanding shares of 5% Delayed Preferred Stock. On November 2,
1998, we sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock to Prime 66 Partners, L.P.,
resulting in net proceeds of $98 million and on December 23, 1998, we sold
1,350,000 shares of our 9.2% Series A Junior Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock to Apollo Investment Fund IV, L.P. and Apollo Overseas Partners IV, L.P.
(the "Apollo Investors"), resulting in net proceeds of $129 million. Also on
December 23, 1998, the Apollo Investors granted us an option to sell them
650,000 shares of our 9.2% Series B Junior Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock for estimated net proceeds of $63 million. As long as there has been no
material adverse change to our business, management or financial condition, and
subject to satisfying customary conditions, we may exercise our option to
require the Apollo Investors to purchase our 9.2% Series B Junior Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock at any time before September 30, 1999.

        In May 1999, we received net proceeds of approximately $190 million from
the issuance of 200,000 units, each consisting of $1,000 aggregate principal
amount of 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 and three warrants, each to
purchase 3.65 shares of our common stock. We invested approximately $79.3
million of these net proceeds in a portfolio of U.S. government securities,
which we pledged as security for the payment in full of interest on the notes
through May 15, 2002. In November 1997, we received net proceeds of $116 million
from the issuance of 12,910 units, each consisting of $20,000 aggregate
principal amount at maturity of 15% Senior Discount Notes due 2007 and a warrant
to purchase additional 15% Senior Discount Notes due 2007 with an aggregate
principal amount at maturity of $3,000. All warrants were exercised in 1997. The
aggregate value at maturity of the 15% Senior Discount Notes due 2007 is $297
million. The 15% Senior Discount Notes mature on November 15, 2007 and the first
cash interest payment is due in June 2003. The indentures governing the 15%
Senior Discount Notes due 2007 and the 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009
contain limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness. The 15%
Senior Discount Notes due 2007 and the 14 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 are
secured by pledges of the stock of Satellite CD Radio Inc., our subsidiary that
holds our FCC license.

        On July 28, 1998, we entered into a credit agreement with a group of
financial institutions, including Bank of America as agent and a lender, under
which the lenders agreed to provide us a term loan facility in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $115 million (the "Tranche A Loans"). The proceeds of
the Tranche A Loans are being used to fund a portion of the progress payments
required to be made by us under the Loral Satellite Contract for the purchase of
launch services and to pay interest, fees and other expenses related to this
facility. The Tranche A Loans are due on the earlier of February 29, 2000 and
ten days prior to the launch of our second satellite. As of June 30, 1999, we
had borrowed $95.5 million under this facility, substantially all of which was
used to make progress payments under the Loral Satellite Contract.

<PAGE>



        In connection with this facility, Loral agreed with Bank of America that
at maturity of the Tranche A Loans (including maturity as a result of an
acceleration), upon the occurrence of our bankruptcy or upon the occurrence of
an event of default by Loral under its agreement with Bank of America, Loral
will repurchase from the lenders the Tranche A Loans at a price equal to the
principal amount of the Tranche A Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest. In
exchange for providing this credit support, Loral receives a fee from us equal
to 1.25% per annum of the outstanding amount of the Tranche A Loans from time to
time.

        We have also entered into an agreement with Bank of America under which
Bank of America has agreed to attempt to arrange a syndicate of lenders to
provide a second term loan facility for us in the aggregate principal amount of
$225 million. It is anticipated that a portion of the proceeds of these loans
would be used to repay the Tranche A Loans and for other general corporate
purposes. Bank of America has not committed to provide this second term loan
facility. The closing of this second term loan facility is expected to be
conditioned on the satisfaction of specific significant conditions and there is
no assurance that these loans will be arranged or that the proposed terms of
such loans will be acceptable to us. If we are unable to close this facility, we
will seek to repay the Tranche A Loans from the proceeds of the sale of debt
securities, equity securities, or a combination of debt and equity securities.

        Shares of our 9.2% Series A Junior Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock and our 9.2% Series B Junior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
(collectively, the "Junior Preferred Stock") are convertible into shares of our
common stock at a price of $30 per share. The Junior Preferred Stock is callable
by us beginning November 15, 2001 if the current market price, as defined in the
Certificate of Designation of the Junior Preferred Stock, of our common stock
exceeds $60 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, and in all
events will be callable beginning November 15, 2003 at a price of 100% and must
be redeemed by us on November 15, 2011. Dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock
are payable in-kind or in cash annually, at our option. Holders of the Junior
Preferred Stock have the right to vote, on an as-converted basis, on matters
upon which the holders of our common stock have the right to vote.

        Loral has agreed to defer a total of $50 million of the payments under
the Loral Satellite Contract originally scheduled for payment in 1999. These
deferred amounts bear interest at 10% per annum, which interest will accrue
until December 2001, at which time such interest will become payable quarterly
in cash. The principal amounts of the deferred payments under the Loral
Satellite Contract are required to be paid in six installments between June 2002
and December 2003. As collateral security for these deferred payments, we have
agreed to grant Loral a security interest in our terrestrial repeater network.

OTHER MATTERS- THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

        The Year 2000 Issue will test the capability of business processes to
function correctly. The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits (rather than four) to define a year, which could result
in miscalculations or system failures resulting from recognition of a date
occurring after December 31, 1999 as falling in the year 1900 (or another year
in the 1900s) rather than the year 2000 or thereafter. We have undertaken an
effort to identify and mitigate The Year 2000 Issue in our information systems,
product, suppliers and facilities. Our approach to the Year 2000 Issue can be
separated into four phases: (1) define/measure-identify and inventory possible
sources of Year 2000 Issues; (2) analyze-determine the nature and extent of Year
2000 Issues and develop project plans to address those issues; (3)
improve-execute project plans and perform a majority of the testing; and (4)
control-complete testing, continue monitoring readiness and complete necessary
contingency plans. The first three phases of the program have been completed for
a substantial majority of our mission-critical activities. Management plans to
have nearly all significant information systems and facilities through the
control phase of the program by late-1999.

<PAGE>


        We have also communicated with our significant vendors and suppliers to
determine the extent to which we are vulnerable to the failure of these parties
to remedy Year 2000 Issues. We can give no assurance that failure to address the
Year 2000 Issues by third parties on whom our systems and business processes
rely would not have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial
condition.

        The total Year 2000 Issue remediation expenditures are expected to be
approximately $100,000, of which 50% was spent by June 30, 1999. Substantially
all of the remainder is expected to be spent in 1999. The activities involved in
the Year 2000 effort necessarily involve estimates and projections of activities
and resources that will be required in the future. These estimates and
projections could change as work progresses.

ITEM 2.       CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

               (c) On May 18, 1999, we sold 200,000 units (the "1999 Units"),
each unit consisting of $1,000 principal amount of our 14-1/2% Senior Secured
Notes due 2009 and three warrants each to purchase 3.65 shares of our common
stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $200 million. The warrants which are
part of the 1999 Units may be exercised on the earliest to occur of (i) the
effective date of a change of control in CD Radio and (ii) May 18, 2000.

             The 1999 Units were offered and sold only to qualified
institutional buyers in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and
to a limited number of institutional "accredited investors" in a private sale
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We did not sell
the 1999 Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. In
connection with the sale of the 1999 Units, we paid an aggregate $8 million in
initial purchaser discounts and fees to investment banking firms. The proceeds
from the sale of the 1999 Units will be used for general corporate purposes.

                ARTICLE 11. LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY AND
                      DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION

     A. Liability. A director of the corporation shall not be held personally
liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty an a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived
improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended
after the effective date of this article to authorize corporate action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability
of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

     B. Indemnification. The corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to
the full extent permitted by law, any person (or the estate of any person) who
was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or complete action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the
right of the corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer or employee of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer or employee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The
corporation may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability which may be
asserted against him or her. To the full extent permitted by law, the
indemnification provided herein shall include expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and, in the manner
provided by law, any such expenses may be paid by the corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification
provided herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the corporation to
indemnify any other person for any such expenses to the full extent permitted by
law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person
seeking indemnification from the corporation may be entitled under any
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as
to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office.

     Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraphs by the stockholders
of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a
director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

     This Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by the Board of
Directors and stockholders in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

contained in this Agreement, as long as CD Radio remains the holder of an FCC
license to provide the CD Radio Service, CD Radio shall have full authority,
power and control over operation of the CD Radio Service. CD Radio shall bear
the responsibility for compliance with all applicable laws, including FCC
regulations, for the CD Radio Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
CD Radio from (i) rejecting or refusing content for the Ford Channels that CD
Radio in good-faith believes is unsuitable or not in the public interest, (ii)
preempting any content in the event of a local, state or national emergency, or
(iii) refusing to broadcast any content that may be in violation of applicable
FCC regulations. CD Radio agrees that music or non-music programming may be
broadcast on the Ford Channels; provided that such programming is not reasonably
likely to directly compete with any specific format (e.g. an all jazz channel or
a business news channel) then appearing on the CD Radio Service.

     (c) Ford agrees that it shall not sell, barter or grant any time on the
Ford Channels to any Competitor or any subsidiary or affiliate of any
Competitor. Ford also agrees that it will not sell or barter any advertising,
sponsorship or underwriting on the Ford Channels if such activity could have an
adverse effect on the ability of CD Radio, or any content provider to the CD
Radio Service, to sell or barter advertising, sponsorship or underwriting on any
channel on the CD Radio Service.

     (d) Ford will consider advertising the CD Radio Service on the Ford
Channels.

     SECTION 6.03. Non-infringement. (a) With respect to information, data or
other material provided solely by or through Ford for distribution, transmission
or performance on the Ford Channels, Ford warrants to CD Radio that it will have
all requisite rights, power and authority to provide such information, data or
other material to CD Radio as contemplated in this Agreement and that CD Radio's
distribution, transmission and performance of such information, data or other
material (i) will not give rise to any claim by any third party, including,
without limitation, claims arising from or relating to copyright, rights of
publicity, patent or trademark infringement, unfair competition, idea
misappropriation, plagiarism, defamation, libel, slander or any other
intellectual property right, intentional infliction of emotional distress or
related torts, obscenity, indecency, professional malpractice, violation of
statutory, common law or contractual rights of privacy or confidentiality or of
any other right of any third party, including, without limitation, any royalty,
reuse, residual, guild or union obligations, all of which shall be borne
exclusively by Ford, and (ii) will not otherwise result in injury or damage to
any third party. Ford represents and warrants to CD Radio that Ford will obtain
all rights, waivers, permissions and clearances necessary for transmission,
distribution and performance of such information, data or other material on the
Ford Channels. Ford expressly acknowledges and agrees that CD Radio shall

have no liability or responsibility for payment of any fee or license to any
copyright owner as a result of the transmission, distribution or performance of
such information, data or other material on the Ford Channels. CD Radio and Ford
agree that Ford shall have no responsibility or liability for obtaining or
paying for any intellectual property rights (including rights relating to the
encoding or encrypting of the CD Radio signal) which are used in order to
physically transmit the CD Radio signal.

     (b) With respect to information, data or other material provided solely by
or through CD Radio for distribution, transmission or performance on the Ford
Channels, CD Radio warrants to Ford that it will have all requisite rights,
power and authority (other than copyright, rights of publicity, patent or
trademark rights embodied in such information, data or other material) to
provide such information, data or other material as contemplated in this
Agreement and that CD Radio's distribution, transmission and performance of such
information, data or other material on the Ford Channels (i) will not give rise
to any claim by any third party, including, without limitation, claims arising
from or relating to unfair competition, defamation, libel, slander or any other
intellectual property right, intentional infliction of emotional distress or
related torts, obscenity, indecency, professional malpractice, violation of
statutory, common law or contractual rights of privacy or confidentiality or of
any other right of any third party, and (ii) will not otherwise result in injury
or damage to any third party. Ford expressly acknowledges and agrees that Ford
shall be responsible for payment of any fee or license to any owner of
copyright, rights of publicity, patent or trademark rights as a result of the
transmission, distribution or performance of such information, data or other
material on the Ford Channels. CD Radio agrees to bring such requirement for
such a fee or license to Ford's attention in a timely manner prior to such
transmission, distribution or performance; provided that CD Radio's failure to
do so shall not relieve Ford of any obligations with respect to such fee or
license under this Agreement, except for any additional amounts directly
attributable to CD Radio's failure to notify Ford.

     SECTION 6.04. Indemnity. (a) Ford shall defend, indemnify and hold CD Radio
harmless from and against any loss, damage, expense or claim, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, of any nature or kind

not to sell any device which is only capable of receiving the Ford Channels

to time after such termination provide CD Radio written suggestions for manners

Radio Service and Ford Enabled Vehicles. CD Radio shall consider all such
written suggestions in good-faith; provided that CD Radio shall have no
liability to Ford in the event any such written suggestions are not implemented
by CD Radio.

     (c) After the date that is forty eight (48) months after the Launch Date,
Ford shall utilize its remaining * in Ford Enabled Vehicles. The license granted

     SECTION 7.01. Ownership. (a) All intellectual property developed or
Intellectual Property Matters created prior to the date of this Agreement (the
"Existing Intellectual Property") is and shall remain the property of the party
who made, developed or created or presently owns such Existing Intellectual
Property and, unless otherwise expressed in this Agreement, no license is
implied or granted herein to any Existing Intellectual Property by virtue of
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that, as between CD Radio and
Ford, any new intellectual property that is jointly developed or created (as
"jointly developed" or "jointly created" is defined by the applicable
intellectual property laws) pursuant to this Agreement for use in, or in
connection with, the CD Radio System, CD Radio Receivers or antennas (other than
intellectual property which is developed by CD Radio for concurrent use for
purposes outside, but not in conflict with, the purposes of this Agreement) (the
"New Intellectual Property") shall be the joint property of CD Radio and Ford
and each party shall be free to use and exploit such jointly owned New
Intellectual Property without accounting in any way to the other party. CD Radio
and Ford agree that they will consult with one another regarding prosecuting, in
the name of both CD Radio and Ford, patents and other protections for any New
Intellectual Property. The costs and expenses of prosecuting, protecting and
defending any New Intellectual Property will be shared equally by CD Radio and
Ford, where CD Radio and Ford have agreed on such prosecution, protection or
defense.

     SECTION 7.02. Licensing Matters. (a) During the Term, CD Radio hereby

purposes contemplated by this Agreement) under all intellectual property now
owned or thereafter developed or acquired by CD Radio or which CD Radio has or
acquires the right to license relating to CD Radio Receivers and the CD Radio
System.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, Ford acknowledges and agrees
that, with respect to patents included in paragraph (a), the license granted in
this Section does not extend to receiving the signal of a Competitor. If a
specific Competitor becomes a licensee of CD Radio, this limitation shall not
longer apply to receiving the signal of that Competitor in a CD Radio Receiver.

     (c) This license shall not be sold, assigned, sublicensed or otherwise
transferred without the prior written consent of CD Radio, which may be withheld
in its sole discretion. Any such sale, assignment, sublicense or other transfer
of this license without the prior written consent of CD Radio shall be null and
void.

     (d) The license contained in this Section 7.02 will become permanent and
irrevocable upon the manufacture of the four millionth Ford Enabled Vehicle. If,

manufactured, CD Radio agrees to grant the license contained in this Section

subject to the license provided in this section.

     (f) The license contained in this Section 7.02 shall extend worldwide.

     SECTION 7.03. Indemnity. CD Radio agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Ford
harmless from any loss, damage, expense, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney fees and expenses, arising from claims by third parties of
intellectual property infringement based on the use or sale by Ford or any
suppliers to Ford or customers of Ford of CD Radio Receivers embodying or using
any designs, Information or intellectual property rights licensed or provided to
Ford in writing by or through CD Radio or Lucent in furtherance of this
Agreement. This obligation shall survive termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 7.04. Use of Trademarks. The parties recognize each other's rights
in their respective trademarks, service marks, trade names and logos. Except as
permitted by United States trademark law and except as expressly provided
herein, nothing in this Agreement shall imply the grant by CD Radio or Ford to
the other of a license to use (i) any trademark, service mark, trade name or
logo of that party or any of its affiliates in connection with advertising,
licensing, marketing or any other use, or (ii) any trademark, service mark,
trade name or logo that is confusingly similar to a name or mark used by that
party or any of its affiliates.
