XM SATELLITE RADIO HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(1) Business
We broadcast in the United States our music, sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather channels for a subscription fee through our proprietary satellite radio system. Our satellite radio system consists of four in-orbit satellites, over 700 terrestrial repeaters that receive and retransmit signals, satellite uplink facilities and studios. Subscribers can also receive certain of our music and other channels over the Internet.
On July 28, 2008 XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (“XM Holdings”) merged with and into Vernon Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (the “Merger”) and, as a result, XM Holdings is now a wholly owned subsidiary of SIRIUS. Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. was later renamed Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“SIRIUS”). The accounting for the Merger has been “pushed-down” in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. XM, together with its subsidiaries, is operated as an unrestricted subsidiary under SIRIUS’ existing indebtedness. As an unrestricted subsidiary, transactions between the companies are required to comply with various contractual provisions in our debt instruments. For purposes of these Notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements, “we,” “us,” “our,” “the company,” and similar terms refer to XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our satellite radios are primarily distributed through automakers (“OEMs”), retailers and our website. We have agreements with major automakers to offer our satellite radios as factory or dealer-installed equipment in their vehicles. Our radios are also offered to customers of rental car companies, including Avis.
Our subscriber totals include subscribers under our regular pricing plans; discounted pricing plans; subscribers that have prepaid, including payments either made or due from automakers for prepaid subscriptions included in the sale or lease price of a new vehicle; certain radios activated for daily rental fleet programs; subscribers to XM Radio Online, our Internet service; and certain subscribers to our weather, traffic and data services.
Our primary source of revenue is subscription fees, with most of our customers subscribing on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis. We offer discounts for prepaid and long-term subscriptions as well as discounts for multiple subscriptions. We also derive revenue from activation fees, the sale of advertising on select non-music channels, the direct sale of satellite radios, components and accessories, and other ancillary services, such as our data and weather services.
In certain cases, automakers include a subscription to our radio services in the sale or lease price of vehicles. The length of these prepaid subscriptions varies, but is typically three months. We also reimburse various automakers for certain costs associated with satellite radios installed in their vehicles.
We also have an interest in a satellite radio service offered in Canada through our affiliate, Canadian Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (“XM Canada”). Subscribers to the XM Canada service are not included in our subscriber count.
XM Satellite Radio Inc. (“XM”) was incorporated on December 15, 1992 in the State of Delaware. XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. was formed as a holding company for XM on May 16, 1997.
As of March 31, 2009 (except as noted), the principal differences between the financial conditions of XM Holdings and XM were:
| • | | the ownership by XM Holdings of the corporate headquarters and data center buildings since August 2001 and September 2005, respectively, and the lease of these buildings to XM; |
| • | | XM-1, XM-2, and the transponders of XM-3 and XM-4 are owned by XM; and XM-5 and the bus portions of XM-3 and XM-4 are owned by XM Holdings; |
| • | | the presence at XM Holdings of additional indebtedness, primarily the 10% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 and 10% Senior PIK Secured Noted due 2011, both of which are not guaranteed by XM; |
| • | | the investment by XM Holdings in XM Canada (including related revenue and deferred income); and |
| • | | the existence of cash balances at XM Holdings. |

XM SATELLITE RADIO HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
Accordingly, the results of operations for XM and its subsidiaries are substantially the same as the results of operations for XM Holdings and its subsidiaries except that XM has:
| • | | additional rent, less depreciation and amortization expense and less other income, in each case principally related to XM’s rental of its corporate headquarters and data center buildings from XM Holdings, which are intercompany transactions that have been eliminated in XM Holdings’ consolidated financial statements; |
| • | | less interest expense or gains and losses on embedded derivatives, principally related to the additional indebtedness at XM Holdings; |
| • | | less revenue associated with the amortization of deferred income and equity in losses from XM Holdings’ investment in XM Canada; |
| • | | no gains or losses on XM Holdings’ investment in XM Canada; and |
| • | | less interest income because of additional cash balances at XM Holdings. |
We have incurred losses from operations and have generated negative cash flows from operations in each of the past three years. At March 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,548,468. Our ability to meet our debt and other obligations as they come due depends on the successful execution of our operating plan and on economic, financial and competitive factors influencing our business.
We entered into several agreements which improved our financial position. We entered into an agreement with General Motors to extend the term of XM’s distribution agreement to 2020 and to improve the economic terms of the arrangement. We entered into agreements with certain other third parties to, among other things, restructure lump sum payments coming due; eliminate escrow arrangements in certain cases in exchange for prepayment of the amount released; and extend agreements. We are in discussion with additional third parties to reach similar agreements.
Our plan to maintain sufficient liquidity includes the potential for deferring the planned launch of satellites and deferring planned capital projects or other discretionary spending. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, marketable securities, available borrowings from Liberty Media Corporation and its affiliate, Liberty Media, LLC (collectively, “Liberty Media”), and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our financial obligations through 2010, including our obligations on account of interest and principal amount of $892,250. Our financial projections are based on assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, but contain uncertainties.
We expect SIRIUS’ Compensation Committee of their board of directors to consider equity-based, performance awards to certain employees during the second quarter of 2009. These performance awards would be intended to: compensate such employees for their efforts during the year ended December 31, 2008; and retain such employees in the short-term until stockholders approve the proposed Sirius XM Radio Inc. 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan. Any such performance awards are expected to take the form of restricted stock units which will vest over time.
(2) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
In presenting unaudited consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Additionally, estimates were used when recording the fair values of our assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009, the successor period of the three months ended March 31, 2009, and the predecessor period of the three months ended March 31, 2008, have been made.
XM Holdings operates as an unrestricted subsidiary of SIRIUS under its existing indebtedness. As an unrestricted subsidiary, transactions between the companies are required to comply with various contractual restrictions in our existing debt instruments. SIRIUS allocates certain expenses to us based on the estimated costs incurred by SIRIUS that pertain to us. Additionally, certain costs incurred by us benefit SIRIUS and are allocated to SIRIUS based on estimated costs incurred by us pertaining to SIRIUS. We settle amounts due between the parties on a semi-monthly and monthly basis, except for share-based payment arrangements which are settled at times agreed to between us and SIRIUS. Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could differ from those that might have resulted had we operated autonomously. As a result of the Merger, certain of our predecessor accounting policies were changed to conform with SIRIUS’ current accounting policies. These changes have not had, and are not expected to have, a significant impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009.

In connection with the Merger, our assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value at the acquisition date by application of “push-down” accounting. Accordingly, our financial position and results of operations may not be comparable between the accompanying Successor and Predecessor periods.
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, asset impairment, useful lives of our satellites and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Financial market volatility and poor economic conditions in the United States have impacted and will continue to impact our business. Such conditions could have a material impact to our significant accounting estimates.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods, refurbished goods, and other raw material components used in manufacturing radios. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. We record an estimated allowance for inventory that is considered slow moving and obsolete or whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value. The provision related to products purchased for our direct to consumer distribution channel is reported as a component of Cost of equipment in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The remaining provision is reported as a component of Subscriber acquisition costs in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Inventory, net, consists of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2009 | | | December 31, 2008 | |
Raw materials | | $ | 5,761 | | | $ | 5,781 | |
Finished goods | | | 5,640 | | | | 6,898 | |
Allowance for obsolescence | | | (8,279 | ) | | | (8,190 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Total inventory, net | | $ | 3,122 | | | $ | 4,489 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in our prior period unaudited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with our current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-1,Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 and FSP 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP 157-2, delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis, until January 1, 2009 for calendar year end entities. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3,Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,which provides a detailed example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset in an inactive market, and emphasizes the requirements to disclose significant unobservable inputs used as a basis for estimating fair value. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, except as it applies to nonfinancial assets and liabilities as noted in FSP 157-2. Neither the partial adoption nor the issuance of FSP 157-3 had any significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, as amended, on January 1, 2009 as it relates to nonfinancial assets and liabilities, and there has been no impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In November 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R,Business Combinations, which continues to require that all business combinations be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any contingent consideration and contractual contingencies, as a whole, at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Under SFAS No. 141R, all transaction costs are expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 141R rescinded EITF No. 93-07,Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination. Under SFAS No. 141R, all subsequent adjustments to uncertain tax positions assumed in a business combination that previously would have impacted goodwill are recognized in the income statement. The guidance in SFAS No. 141R is applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS No. 141R effective January 1, 2009, with no impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141R-1,Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 141R to assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP No. FAS 141R-1 requires the acquirer to recognize at fair value an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, the acquirer would apply the recognition criteria in SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No.14,Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5, to determine whether the contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. The guidance in FSP No. FAS 141R-1 will be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. FSP No. FAS 141R-1 does not impact the accounting for the Merger.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-1,Accounting for Collaborative Agreements, which provides guidance on how the parties to a collaborative agreement should account for costs incurred and revenue generated on sales to third parties, how sharing payments pursuant to a collaboration agreement should be presented in the income statement and certain related disclosure requirements. This EITF is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. We adopted EITF No. 07-1 effective January 1, 2009, with no impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP No. FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3 effective January 1, 2009, with no impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1,Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), which amends the accounting requirements for certain convertible debt instruments. Additional disclosures are also required for these instruments. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted FSP No. APB 14-1 effective January 1, 2009, with no impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5,Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock, which provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) issued by an entity is indexed to the entity’s stock, and therefore would qualify for the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The EITF prescribes a two-step approach under which the entity would evaluate the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and then the instrument’s settlement provisions, for purposes of evaluating whether the instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to the entity’s stock. This EITF is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted EITF No. 07-5 effective January 1, 2009, with no impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 08-6,Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations, which applies to all investments accounted for under the equity method. The EITF clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving these investments. This EITF is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted EITF No. 08-6 effective January 1, 2009, with no impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also amends APB 28,Interim Financial Reporting, to require these disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will have on our interim report disclosures.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 will have on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. If a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has occurred, quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value. Consequently, further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FSP No. FAS 157-4 will have on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Indefinite Life Intangible Assets
We have identified our FCC licenses and our trademark as indefinite life intangibles after considering the expected use of the assets, the regulatory and economic environment within which they are being used, and the effects of obsolescence on their use.
We hold FCC licenses to operate our satellite digital audio radio service and provide ancillary services. Our FCC licenses for our satellites expire on various dates in 2013 and 2014. Prior to the expirations, we will be required to apply for a renewal of our FCC licenses. The renewal and extension of our licenses is reasonably certain at minimal cost. The FCC licenses authorize us to use the broadcast spectrum, which is a renewable, reusable resource that does not deplete or exhaust over time.
In connection with the Merger, $250,000 of the purchase price was allocated to our trademark. As of March 31, 2009 there are no legal, regulatory or contractual limitations associated with our trademark.
We evaluate our indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwilland Other Intangible Assets.During the three months ended March 31, 2009, no impairment loss was recorded for intangible assets with indefinite lives.

XM Canada
In November 2005, we entered into agreements to provide XM Canada with the right to offer XM satellite radio service in Canada. The agreements have an initial term of ten years and XM Canada has the unilateral option to extend the term of the agreements for an additional five years at no additional cost beyond the current financial arrangements. XM Canada has expressed its intent to exercise this option at the end of the initial term of the agreements. We have the right to receive a 15% royalty for all subscriber fees earned by XM Canada each month for its basic service and a nominal activation fee for each gross activation of an XM Canada subscriber on XM’s system. XM Canada is obligated to pay us a total of $71,800 for the rights to broadcast and market National Hockey League (“NHL”) games for the 10-year term of our contract with the NHL. In accordance with EITF No. 99-19,Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, we recognize these payments on a gross basis as a principal obligor.
The estimated fair value of deferred revenue from XM Canada as of the Merger date was approximately $34,000, and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining expected term of the agreements. Subsequent to the Merger date, we began to record additional deferred revenue on our agreements with XM Canada involving royalties on subscriber and activation fees. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the carrying value of Deferred revenue related to XM Canada was $37,029 and $36,002, respectively.

General Motors
We have a long-term distribution agreement with General Motors Corporation (“GM”). GM has a representative on SIRIUS’ board of directors and is considered a related party. During the term of the agreement, GM has agreed to distribute the XM service. To encourage the broad installation of XM radios in GM vehicles, we subsidize a portion of the cost of XM radios and makes incentive payments to GM when the owners of GM vehicles with installed XM radios become subscribers to XM’s service. We also share with GM a percentage of the subscription revenue attributable to GM vehicles with installed XM radios. As part of the agreement, GM provides certain call-center related services directly to XM subscribers who are also GM customers for which we reimburse GM. We have entered into an agreement with GM to extend the term of XM’s distribution agreement to 2020 to improve the economic terms of the arrangement, and postpone, at XM’s option, certain payments, with interest, to GM.

XM Canada
We have a 23.33% economic interest in XM Canada. The amount of the Merger purchase price allocated to the fair value of our investment in XM Canada was $41,188. Our investment in XM Canada is recorded using the equity method (on a one-month lag) since we have significant influence, but less than a controlling voting interest in XM Canada. Under this method, our investment in XM Canada is adjusted quarterly to recognize our share of net earnings or losses as they occur, rather than at the time dividends or other distributions are received, limited to the extent of our investment in, advances to, and commitments to fund XM Canada. Our share of net earnings or losses of XM Canada is recorded to Loss on investments in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. We recorded $3,903 and $4,177 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for our share of XM Canada’s net loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we reduced the carrying value of our investment in XM Canada due to decreases in fair value that were considered to be other than temporary and recorded an impairment charge of $3,034. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded $166 as a foreign exchange loss to Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax.
We hold an investment in Cdn$4,000 face value of 8% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures issued by XM Canada for which the embedded conversion feature is required under SFAS No. 133 to be bifurcated from the host contract. The host contract is accounted for as an available-for-sale security at fair value with changes in fair value recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The embedded conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings as Interest and investment income. As of March 31, 2009, the carrying value of our equity method investment in XM Canada was $1,770, while the carrying value of the host contract and embedded derivative related to our investment in the debentures was $2,537 and $3, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the carrying value of our equity method investment in XM Canada was $8,873, while the carrying value of the host contract and embedded derivative related to our investment in the debentures was $2,540 and $2, respectively.
Auction Rate Certificates
Auction rate certificates are long-term securities structured to reset their coupon rates by means of an auction. We account for our investment in auction rate certificates as available-for-sale securities. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the carrying value of these securities was $8,601 and $7,985, respectively.

(10) Fair Value
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we have determined that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The fair value of our long-term debt is determined by either (i) estimation of the discounted future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to us for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our bankers, or (ii) quoted market prices at the reporting date for the traded debt securities. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the carrying value of our long-term debt was $1,779,573 and $1,794,841, respectively; while the fair value approximated $1,269,414 and $760,897, respectively.

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year at a rate of 13% per annum.

On March 6, 2009, XM executed and delivered a Third Supplemental Indenture (the “9.75% Notes Supplemental Indenture”). The 9.75% Notes Supplemental Indenture amended the indenture to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminated certain events of default and modified or eliminated certain other provisions contained in the indenture and the 9.75% Notes.
10% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009
We have issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 10% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 (the “10% Convertible Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually at a rate of 10% per annum. The 10% Convertible Notes mature on December 1, 2009. The 10% Convertible Notes may be converted by the holder, at its option, into shares of SIRIUS’ common stock at a conversion rate of 92.0 shares of SIRIUS common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $10.87 per share of SIRIUS common stock (subject to adjustment in certain events). As a result of the fair valuation at the acquisition date, we recognized an initial discount of $23,700. On February 13, 2009, we exchanged $172,485 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 10% Convertible Notes for a like principal amount XM Holdings’ 10% Senior PIK Secured Notes due June 2011.
We accounted for the exchange as a modification of debt under EITF Issue No. 96-19,Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments. Upon the exchange, we recorded $2,008 to General and administrative expense in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations and $10,990 of additional debt discount in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
10% Senior PIK Secured Notes due 2011

The New Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by XM 1500 Eckington LLC and XM Investment LLC (together, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the property of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Interest is payable semi-annually at a rate of 10% per annum. The 10% Discount Convertible Notes mature on December 31, 2009. At any time, a holder of the notes may convert all or part of the accreted value of the notes at a conversion price of $0.69 per share of SIRIUS common stock. The 10% Discount Convertible Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior indebtedness, and are senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future subordinated indebtedness. As a result of the fair valuation at the acquisition date, we recognized an initial discount of $7,324.
7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014
In August 2008, XM issued $550,000 aggregate principal amount of 7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Exchangeable Notes”).

The company, XM Equipment LLC and XM Radio Inc. have guaranteed the Exchangeable Notes on a senior subordinated basis. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 7% per annum. The Exchangeable Notes mature on December 1, 2014. The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at any time at the option of the holder into shares of SIRIUS’ common stock at an initial exchange rate of 533.3333 shares of SIRIUS common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, which is equivalent to an approximate exchange price of $1.875 per share of SIRIUS common stock.
Embedded Derivatives
We issued convertible debt securities, including the 10% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009, the 10% Senior Secured Discount Convertible Notes due 2009 and 7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 containing non-detachable conversion or exchange features. Upon completion of the Merger, these debt agreements were amended such that the settlement of conversion features is into shares of SIRIUS common stock.
The convertible and exchangeable features are embedded derivatives, and subsequent to the Merger are required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Hedging and Derivative Instruments. The embedded derivatives are recorded as derivative liabilities and included in our debt balances in our statement of financial position and the changes in fair value of those derivatives are reported as a realized investment gain or loss in the period in which the fair value changes.
Due to the change in fair value of these embedded derivatives, we recognized $58,203 of a Loss on change in value of embedded derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The balance of derivative liabilities was $80,861 and $22,658 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Covenants and Restrictions
The First-Lien Credit Agreement, 13% Notes and Second-Lien Credit Agreement require compliance with certain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, investments or acquisitions, (iv) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (v) merge or consolidate with another person, (vi) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and (vii) make voluntary prepayments of certain debt, in each case subject to exceptions as provided in the applicable indenture or credit agreement. XM Holdings operates as an unrestricted subsidiary of SIRIUS for purposes of compliance with the covenants contained in our debt instruments. The First-Lien Credit Agreement requires XM and SIRIUS to maintain levels of cash and cash equivalents of at least $75,000 and $35,000, respectively; and XM Holdings and XM must maintain certain EBITDA levels set forth therein. The Second Lien Credit Agreement also requires minimum levels of cash and cash equivalents and EBITDA. If we fail to comply with these covenants, the First-Lien Credit Agreement, 13% Notes and Second-Lien Credit Agreement could become immediately payable.
At March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Long-term debt obligations. Long-term debt obligations include principal payments on outstanding debt.
Cash interest payments. Cash interest payments include interest due on outstanding debt through maturity.
Satellite and transmission.We have entered into agreements with third parties to operate and maintain the off-site satellite telemetry, tracking and control facilities and certain components of our terrestrial repeater network. We have also entered into various agreements to design and construct satellites for use in our systems and to launch those satellites.
We have entered into an agreement with Space Systems/Loral to construct our fifth satellite, XM-5. In August 2007, our agreement with Space Systems/Loral was amended to defer payments on the remaining construction costs until the earlier of post-launch or January 2010.
Programming and content.We have entered into various programming agreements. Under the terms of these agreements, we are obligated to provide payments to other entities that may include fixed payments, advertising commitments and revenue sharing arrangements.
Marketing and distribution.We have entered into various marketing, sponsorship and distribution agreements to promote our brand and are obligated to make payments to sponsors, retailers, automakers and radio manufacturers under

these agreements. Certain programming and content agreements also require us to purchase advertising on properties owned or controlled by the licensors. We also reimburse automakers for certain engineering and development costs associated with the incorporation of satellite radios into vehicles they manufacture. In addition, in the event certain new products are not shipped by a distributor to its customers within 90 days of the distributor’s receipt of goods, we have agreed to purchase and take title to the product.
Satellite performance incentive payments. Boeing Satellite Systems International, Inc., the manufacturer of our four in-orbit satellites, may be entitled to future in-orbit performance payments with respect to two of our four satellites. As of March 31, 2009, we have accrued $28,475 related to contingent in-orbit performance payments for XM-3 and XM-4 based on expected operating performance over their fifteen year design life. Boeing may also be entitled to an additional $10,000 if XM-4 continues to operate above baseline specifications during the five years beyond the satellite’s fifteen-year design life.
Operating lease obligations.We have entered into cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases for office space, equipment and terrestrial repeaters. These leases provide for minimum lease payments, additional operating expense charges, leasehold improvements, and rent escalations that have initial terms ranging from one to fifteen years, and certain leases that have options to renew. The effect of the rent holidays and rent concessions are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Other.We have entered into various agreements with third parties for general operating purposes. In addition to the minimum contractual cash commitments described above, we have entered into agreements with automakers, radio manufacturers, distributors and others that include per-radio, per-subscriber, per-show and other variable cost arrangements. These future costs are dependent upon many factors, including subscriber growth, and are difficult to anticipate; however, these costs may be substantial. We may enter into additional programming, distribution, marketing and other agreements that contain similar provisions.
We are required under the terms of certain agreements to deposit monies in escrow, which place restrictions on cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $250 and $120,250, respectively, was classified as Restricted investments as a result of obligations under these escrow deposits.
We do not have any other significant off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Legal Proceedings
FCC Merger Order. On July 25, 2008, the FCC adopted an order approving the Merger. The order became effective immediately upon adoption. This order was published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2008. On September 4, 2008, Mt. Wilson FM Broadcasters, Inc. filed a Petition for Reconsideration of the FCC’s merger order. This Petition for Reconsideration remains pending.
Copyright Royalty Board Proceeding. In January 2008, the Copyright Royalty Board, or CRB, of the Library of Congress issued its decision regarding the royalty rate payable by us under the statutory license covering the performance of sound recordings over our satellite digital audio radio services for the six-year period starting January 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2012. Under the terms of the CRB’s decision, we paid a royalty of 6.0% of gross revenues, subject to certain exclusions, for 2007 and 2008, and will pay 6.5% for 2009, 7.0% for 2010, 7.5% for 2011 and 8.0% for 2012. SoundExchange has appealed the decision of the CRB to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Oral arguments were heard in March 2009. The parties are awaiting the Court’s decision in this matter.
Atlantic Recording Corporation, BMG Music, Capital Records, Inc., Elektra Entertainment Group Inc., Interscope Records, Motown Record Company, L.P., Sony BMG Music Entertainment, UMG Recordings, Inc., Virgin Records, Inc and Warner Bros. Records Inc. v. XM Satellite Radio Inc.In May 2006, the plaintiffs filed this action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, and alleges that XM radios that include advanced recording functionality infringe upon plaintiffs’ copyrighted sound recordings. XM filed a motion to dismiss this matter, and that motion was denied in January 2007. We have resolved the lawsuit with respect to Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and EMI Group, and each of these parties has withdrawn as a party to the lawsuit, and this lawsuit has been dismissed with respect to such parties.
Music publishing companies and certain other record companies also have filed lawsuits, purportedly on a class basis, with similar allegations. We believe these allegations are without merit and that our products comply with applicable copyright law, including the Audio Home Recording Act. We intend to vigorously defend this matter. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of these matters, or the significance, if any, to our business, consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Matthew Enderlin v. XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Inc.In January 2006, the plaintiff filed this action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas on behalf of a purported nationwide class of all XM subscribers. The complaint alleges that XM engaged in deceptive trade practices under Arkansas and other state laws by representing that its music channels are commercial-free. The court stayed the litigation and directed the parties to arbitration. XM instituted arbitration with the American Arbitration Association pursuant to the compulsory arbitration clause in its customer service agreement. The plaintiff has filed a counterclaim in the arbitration on behalf of the class that he seeks to represent. We believe this matter is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the ongoing arbitration. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of this matter, or the significance, if any, to our business, consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Other Matters. In the ordinary course of business, we are a defendant in various lawsuits and arbitration proceedings, including actions filed by former employees, parties to contracts or leases and owners of patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property. None of these actions are, in our opinion, likely to have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
(All dollar amounts referenced in this Item 2 are in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The following cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports and documents published by us from time to time. Any statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions, future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection” and “outlook.” Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”), and in other reports and documents published by us from time to time, particularly the risk factors described under “Business – Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Form 10-K.
Among the significant factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are:
| • | | the substantial indebtedness of XM Holdings and XM; |
| • | | the possibility that the benefits of the merger of SIRIUS and XM Holdings may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize; and the risks associated with the undertakings made to the FCC and the effects of those undertakings on the business of XM in the future; |
| • | | the useful life of our satellites, which have experienced component failures including, with respect to a number of satellites, failures on their solar arrays and in certain cases, are not insured; |
| • | | our dependence upon automakers, many of which have experienced a dramatic drop in sales and are in financial distress, and other third parties, such as manufacturers and distributors of satellite radios, retailers and programming providers; and |
| • | | our competitive position versus other forms of audio and video entertainment including terrestrial radio, HD radio, internet radio, mobile phones, iPods and other MP3 devices, and emerging next-generation networks and technologies. |
Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made, to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise or to assess with any precision the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Executive Summary
We broadcast in the United States our music, sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather channels for a subscription fee through our proprietary satellite radio system. On July 28, 2008, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. merged with and into Vernon Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of SIRIUS; and as a result, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of SIRIUS. Our system consists of four in-orbit satellites, over 700 terrestrial repeaters that receive and retransmit signals, satellite uplink facilities and studios. Subscribers can also receive certain of our music and other channels over the Internet.
Our satellite radios are primarily distributed through automakers (“OEMs”); through retail locations; and through our website. We have agreements with major automakers to offer satellite radios as factory or dealer-installed equipment in their vehicles. Our radios are also offered to customers of rental car companies including Avis.
As of March 31, 2009, we had 9,656,062 subscribers. Our subscriber totals include subscribers under our regular pricing plans; discounted pricing plans; subscribers that have prepaid, including payments either made or due from automakers for prepaid subscriptions included in the sale or lease price of a new vehicle; certain radios activated for daily rental fleet programs; subscribers to XM Radio Online, our Internet service; and certain subscribers to our weather, traffic and data services.
29
Our primary source of revenue is subscription fees, with most of our customers subscribing on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis. We offer discounts for pre-paid and long-term subscriptions as well as discounts for multiple subscriptions. In 2009, we increased the discounted price for additional subscriptions from $6.99 per month to $8.99 per month. We also derive revenue from activation fees, the sale of advertising on select non-music channels, the direct sale of satellite radios, components and accessories, and other ancillary services, such as data and weather services.
In certain cases, automakers include a subscription to our radio services in the sale or lease price of vehicles. The length of these prepaid subscriptions varies, but is typically three months. We also reimburse various automakers for certain costs associated with satellite radios installed in their vehicles.
We also have an interest in a satellite radio service offered in Canada. Subscribers to the Canadian Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (“XM Canada”) service are not included in our subscriber count.
We entered into several agreements which improved our financial position. We entered into an agreement with General Motors to extend the term of XM’s distribution agreement to 2020 and to improve the economic terms of the arrangement. We entered into agreements with certain other third parties to, among other things, restructure lump sum payments coming due; eliminate escrow arrangements in exchange for prepayment of the amount released; and extend agreements. We may enter into similar agreements with additional third parties.
XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., together with its subsidiaries, now operates as an unrestricted subsidiary under the agreements governing SIRIUS’ existing indebtedness. As an unrestricted subsidiary, transactions between the companies are required to comply with various contractual provisions in our respective debt instruments.

Results of Operations
Our discussion of our results of operations, along with the selected financial information in the tables that follow, includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: average self-pay monthly churn; conversion rate; average monthly revenue per subscriber, or ARPU; subscriber acquisition cost, or SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition; customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber; free cash flow; and adjusted income (loss) from operations. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and are used for internal management purposes, when publicly providing the business outlook, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Please refer to the footnotes (pages 39 through 41) following our discussion of results of operations for the definitions and a further discussion of the usefulness of such non-GAAP financial measures.

Subscribers. At March 31, 2009 we had 9,656,062 subscribers, an increase of 3% from March 31, 2008. Gross subscriber additions decreased approximately 32% during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. OEM gross subscriber additions decreased due to the 38% decline in the North American automobile sales and retail gross subscriber additions decreased due to declines in consumer spending. Deactivation rates for self-pay subscriptions increased to 2.1% per month in the quarter reflecting reductions in consumer discretionary spending and subscriber response to our recent increase in prices for multi-subscription accounts, the institution of a monthly charge for our streaming service and channel line-up changes in November 2008; deactivations due to non-conversions of subscribers in paid promotional trial periods increased as production penetration rates increased.
ARPU. Total ARPU was $9.90 and $10.54 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease was driven by the decrease in advertising revenues and the effect of purchase price accounting.
We expect ARPU to fluctuate based on the growth of our subscriber base, promotions, rebates offered to subscribers and corresponding take-rates, plan mix, subscription prices, advertising sales and the identification of additional revenue from subscribers.
SAC, As Adjusted, Per Gross Subscriber Addition. SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition was $34 and $73 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by the effect of purchase price accounting adjustments, improved OEM subsidies, higher one time aftermarket inventory reserves in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 and improved equipment margins.
We expect SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition to decline as the costs of subsidized components of XM radios decrease in the future. Our SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition will continue to be impacted by changes in our mix of OEM and retail additions.
Customer Service and Billing Expenses, As Adjusted, Per Average Subscriber. Customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber was $1.14 and $1.21 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decline was primarily due to efficiencies across a larger subscriber base.
We expect customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber to decrease on an annual basis as our subscriber base grows due to scale efficiencies in our call centers and other customer care and billing operations.
Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations. Adjusted income (loss) from operations was $89,038 and ($30,697) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $119,735. The increase was primarily driven by improvements in operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and share-based payment expense, of $125,955, offset slightly by a decrease in total revenue of $6,220.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Total Revenue
Subscriber Revenue. Subscriber revenue includes subscription fees, activation fees and the effects of rebates.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, subscriber revenue was $284,469 and $280,869, respectively, an increase of 1% or $3,600. The increase was attributable to subscriber growth in 2009, offset by the effect from purchase price accounting adjustments. |
The following table contains a breakdown of our subscriber revenue for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Successor Entity | | | | | Predecessor Entity | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 | |
Subscription fees | | $ | 283,942 | | | | | $ | 275,974 | |
Activation fees | | | 569 | | | | | | 5,144 | |
Effect of rebates | | | (42 | ) | | | | | (249 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Total subscriber revenue | | $ | 284,469 | | | | | $ | 280,869 | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Future subscriber revenue will be dependent upon, among other things, the growth of our subscriber base, promotions, rebates offered to subscribers and corresponding take-rates, plan mix, subscription prices and the identification of additional revenue streams from subscribers.
Advertising Revenue.Advertising revenue includes the sale of advertising on our non-music channels, net of agency fees. Agency fees are based on a contractual rate applied to gross billing revenue.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, net advertising revenue was $4,520 and $9,118, respectively, which represents a decrease of $4,598. The decrease was driven by the current economic environment and the decline in the national radio advertising market. |
Our advertising revenue is subject to fluctuation based on the national advertising environment. We believe these general economic conditions have negatively affected our advertising revenue in recent quarters. We expect advertising revenue to grow as our subscribers increase, as we continue to improve brand awareness and content, and as we increase the size and effectiveness of our advertising sales force.
Equipment Revenue. Equipment revenue includes revenue and royalties from the sale of radios, components and accessories.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, equipment revenue was $5,917 and $4,321, respectively, an increase of $1,596. The increase was primarily due to an increase in royalties partially offset by a decrease in the number of radios sold through our direct to consumer distribution channel. |
We expect equipment revenue to increase as we introduce new products, integrate with SIRIUS products and as sales grow through our direct to consumer distribution channel.
Other Revenue. Other revenue consists primarily of revenue related to various agreements with XM Canada, as well as other miscellaneous revenue that includes content licensing fees, technology licensing fees and billing fees.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, other revenue was $7,328 and $14,146, respectively, a decrease of $6,818. The decrease was primarily due to the effect of purchase price accounting and decreases in content licensing fees. |
Future other revenue will be dependent upon, among other things, the growth of subscriber base, new content and technology agreements and the development of other sources of revenue.
Operating Expenses
Satellite and Transmission. Satellite and transmission expenses consist of costs associated with the operation and maintenance of our satellites; satellite telemetry, tracking and control system; terrestrial repeater network; satellite uplink facility; and broadcast studios.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, satellite and transmission expenses were $14,770 and $20,141, respectively, a decrease of $5,371. The decrease was primarily due to lower maintenance and repeater network expenses as well as lower personnel costs. |
We expect satellite and transmission expenses to decrease as we consolidate terrestrial repeater sites and other satellite and transmission activities as well as realize other cost savings as a result of the Merger.
Programming and Content. Programming and content expenses include costs to acquire, create and produce content and on-air talent costs. We have entered into various agreements with third parties for music and non-music programming that require us to pay license fees, share advertising revenue, purchase advertising on media properties owned or controlled
33
by the licensor and pay other guaranteed amounts. Purchased advertising is recorded as a sales and marketing expense, and the cost of sharing advertising revenue is recorded as Revenue share and royalties in the period the advertising is broadcast.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, programming and content expenses were $27,538 and $51,562, respectively, a decrease of $24,024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the lower costs recognized subsequent to the Merger due to the impact of purchase price accounting adjustments, reductions in personnel and on-air talent costs, as well as savings on various content agreements. |
Our programming and content expenses, excluding share-based payment expenses, are expected to decrease as a result of the Merger, as we reduce duplicate programming and content costs.
Revenue Share and Royalties. Revenue share and royalties include distribution and content provider revenue share, residuals and broadcast and web streaming royalties. Residuals are monthly fees paid based upon the number of subscribers using radios purchased from retailers. Advertising revenue share is recorded to revenue share and royalties in the period the advertising is broadcast.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, revenue share and royalties were $49,682 and $68,822, respectively, a decrease of $19,140. This decrease was primarily attributable to the effect of purchase price accounting, offset by an increase in our revenues and an increase in the statutory royalty rate due for the performance of sound recordings. |
We expect these costs to increase as our revenues grow, we expand our distribution of radios through automakers and retailers, and as a result of increases in the royalty for sound recording performances.
Customer Service and Billing. Customer service and billing expenses include costs associated with the operation of our customer service centers and subscriber management system as well as bad debt expense.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, customer service and billing expenses were $33,732 and $34,310, respectively, a decrease of $578. The decrease was primarily due to efficiencies across a larger subscriber base. |
We expect our customer care and billing expenses to decrease on a per subscriber basis, but increase overall as our subscriber base grows due to increased call center operating costs, transaction fees and bad debt expense.
Cost of Equipment. Cost of equipment includes costs from the sale of our radios, components and accessories.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, cost of equipment was $3,465 and $8,551, respectively, a decrease of $5,086. The decrease was primarily attributed to fewer radios sold through our direct to consumer distribution channel and lower inventory related charges for obsolescence. |
We expect cost of equipment to vary in the future with changes in sales through our direct to consumer distribution channel.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include costs for advertising, media and production, including promotional events and sponsorships; cooperative marketing; customer retention and compensation. Cooperative marketing costs include fixed and variable payments to reimburse retailers and automakers for the cost of advertising and other product awareness activities.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, sales and marketing expenses were $32,119 and $49,505, respectively, a decrease of $17,386. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower consumer advertising, reduced cooperative marketing spend with our distributors and reduced personnel costs. |
We expect sales and marketing expenses, excluding share-based payment expense, to decrease as we consolidate our advertising and promotional activities with SIRIUS, gain efficiencies in marketing management and eliminate overlapping distribution support costs.
Subscriber Acquisition Costs. Subscriber acquisition costs include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers, including subsidies paid to automakers who include our radio and a prepaid subscription to our service in the sale or lease price of a new vehicle; subsidies paid for chip sets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; commissions paid to retailers and automakers as incentives to purchase, install and activate our radios; product warranty obligations; and compensation costs associated with stock-based awards granted in connection with certain distribution agreements. The majority of subscriber acquisition costs are incurred and expensed in advance or concurrent with acquiring a subscriber. Subscriber acquisition costs do not include advertising, loyalty payments to distributors and dealers of our radios and revenue share payments to automakers and retailers of our radios.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, subscriber acquisition costs were $26,250 and $71,524, respectively, a decrease of $45,274. This decrease was primarily driven by purchase price accounting adjustments associated with the Merger, along with lower retail and OEM subsidies due to better product economics and fewer OEM installations due to the weakening automotive market. |
34
We expect total subscriber acquisition costs, to fluctuate as increases or decreases in our gross subscriber additions are accompanied by continuing declines in the costs of subsidized components of our radios. We intend to continue to offer subsidies, commissions and other incentives to acquire subscribers.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include rent and occupancy, finance, legal, human resources, information technology and investor relations costs.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, general and administrative expenses were $31,752 and $41,220, respectively, a decrease of $9,468. This decrease was the result of lower costs for certain Merger, litigation and regulatory matters. |
We expect our general and administrative expenses, excluding share-based payment expense, to decrease in future periods as we realize cost savings as a result of the Merger. General and administrative expenses may fluctuate in certain periods as a result of litigation costs.
Engineering, Design and Development. Engineering, design and development expenses include costs to develop our future generation of chip sets and new products, research and development for broadcast information, and costs associated with the incorporation of radios into vehicles manufactured by automakers.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, engineering, design and development expenses were $4,751 and $11,020, respectively, a decrease of $6,269. This decrease was primarily attributable to reduced OEM and product development costs and personnel costs. |
We expect engineering, design and development expenses, excluding share-based payment expense, to decrease in future periods as we realize cost savings as a result of the Merger and gain efficiencies in engineering, design and development activities.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest and Investment Income. Interest and investment income includes realized gains and losses, dividends and interest income, including amortization of the premium and discount arising at purchase.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, interest and investment income was $528 and $1,675, respectively, a decrease of $1,147. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates in 2009. |
Interest Expense. Interest expense includes interest on outstanding debt, reduced by interest capitalized in connection with the construction of our new satellite and launch vehicle.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, interest expense was $68,200 and $29,327, respectively, an increase of $38,873. Interest expense increased significantly due to the additional debt issuances in July and August 2008 as a result of the Merger, the financing transactions in February and March of 2009, and the impact of the purchase price adjustments which set the existing debt at fair value and caused interest expense to increase. The increase in our interest expense was partially offset by the capitalized interest associated with satellite construction and the related launch vehicle. |
Gain (Loss) on change in value of embedded derivative. We are required to account for the conversion feature of our exchangeable debt, which is exchangeable into SIRIUS common stock, separately and recognize the changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives in earnings. The fair value of the derivative will be impacted by the value of the underlying SIRIUS common shares.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded a loss on change in value of embedded derivative of $58,203. As a result of the Merger, we recorded derivative liabilities reflecting the fair value of the embedded derivative as of the Merger date. Subsequent to July 28, 2008, the SIRIUS stock price decreased significantly resulting in a decreased fair value and a gain on the change in value of the derivative. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the SIRIUS stock price increased resulting in an increased fair value and a loss in value of the derivative. |
Loss on redemption of debt. Loss on redemption of debt includes losses incurred as a result of the conversion of certain of our debt instruments.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, loss on redemption of debt was $627 and $0, respectively. |
35
Loss on investments. Loss on investments includes our share of XM Canada’s net losses and losses recorded from our investment in XM Canada when the decrease in fair value was determined to be other than temporary.
| • | | Three Months: For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, loss on investments was $6,937 and $4,177, respectively, an increase of $2,760. The increase was primarily attributable to an impairment charge recorded on our investment in XM Canada in the amount of $3,034 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, offset partially by a slight decrease in our share of XM Canada’s net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. |
Income Taxes
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense primarily represents the recognition of a deferred tax liability related to the difference in accounting for our FCC license and trade name, which is amortized over 15 years for tax purposes but not amortized for book purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
| • | | Three Months: We recorded income tax expense of $578 and $331 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
As of March 31, 2009, we had $201,207 in cash and cash equivalents compared with $211,542 as of March 31, 2008 and $206,740 as of December 31, 2008. We are required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $75 million under our debt covenants.
The following table presents a summary of our cash flow activity for the periods set forth below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Successor Entity | | | Predecessor Entity | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 | | | Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 | | | Variance | |
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | 41,059 | | | $ | (107,696 | ) | | $ | 148,755 | |
Cash flows used in investing activities | | | (3,557 | ) | | | (16,868 | ) | | | 13,311 | |
Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities | | | (43,035 | ) | | | 179,420 | | | | (222,455 | ) |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $41,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $107,696 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase of $148,755 was primarily the result of a decreased net loss, net of non-cash operating activities of $59,181, and a decrease in cash used in other operating assets and liabilities of $89,574.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $13,311 to $3,557 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $16,868 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was due to a decrease in capital expenditures associated with our satellite construction and launch vehicle.
We will incur significant capital expenditures to construct and launch our new satellite. These capital expenditures will support our growth and the resiliency of our operations, and will also support the delivery of future new revenue streams.
Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $43,035 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $179,420 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of $222,455 was primarily due to $187,500 in proceeds received from our Revolving Credit Facility in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and an increase of $23,775 in repayments of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2009, principally under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
36
Financings and Capital Requirements
We have historically financed our operations through the sale of debt and equity securities. It will be more difficult to obtain additional financing if prevailing instability in the credit and financial markets continues. The Certificate of Designations for SIRIUS’ Series B Preferred Stock provides that so long as Liberty beneficially owns at least half of its initial equity investment, we need the consent of Liberty for certain actions, including the grant or issuance of SIRIUS’ equity securities and the incurrence of debt in amounts greater than a stated threshold.
Future Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements
We and SIRIUS have both entered into a series of transactions to improve our liquidity and strengthen SIRIUS’ and our balance sheet, including:
| • | | the issuance of an aggregate of 539,611,513 shares of SIRIUS common stock for $128,412 aggregate principal amount of SIRIUS’ 2 1/2% Convertible Notes due 2009; |
| • | | the exchange of $172,485 aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 10% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 for a like principal amount of our 10% Senior PIK Secured Notes due June 2011; |
| • | | the execution of agreements with Liberty Media Corporation and its affiliate, Liberty Radio LLC, pursuant to which they have invested an aggregate of $250,000 in the form of loans to SIRIUS, $100,000 in the form of loans to XM, are committed to invest an additional $30,000 in loans to SIRIUS and $150,000 in loans to us, and received a significant equity interest in SIRIUS; and |
| • | | the execution of agreements with holders of the Senior Secured Term Loan due 2009 and Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2009 and Liberty Media Corporation and its affiliate, Liberty Radio LLC, pursuant to which maturities were extended under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement due 2011. |
See Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information on certain of these transactions.
Debt Maturing in 2009 and 2010. We have approximately $529,661 of debt maturing in 2009 and 2010, including:
| • | | at XM Holdings, $227,515 of 10% Convertible Senior Notes that mature on December 1, 2009; |
| • | | at XM Holdings and XM (as co-obligors), $33,249 of 10% Senior Secured Discount Convertible Notes that mature on December 31, 2009; |
| • | | at XM, a $325,000 credit facility, $75,000 of which is due in the remaining nine months of 2009, $25,000 of which is due on March 31, 2010, $150,000 of which is due on May 5, 2010 and $75,000 of which is due in May 2011; and |
| • | | at XM Holdings, $18,897 of capital lease payments. |
We believe our existing cash balances, available borrowings under credit facilities and our cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to repay these debt obligations maturing in 2009 and 2010.
Debt Maturing in 2011. As a result of our 2011 debt maturities, our existing cash balances, available borrowings under credit facilities and our cash flows from operating activities may not be sufficient to fund our projected cash needs. We may not be able to access additional sources of refinancing on similar terms or pricing as those that are currently in place, or at all, or otherwise obtain other sources of funding. An inability to access replacement or additional sources of liquidity to fund our cash needs or to refinance or otherwise fund the repayment of our maturing debt could adversely affect our growth, our financial condition, or results of operations, and our ability to make payments on our debt, and could force us to seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws. It will be more difficult to obtain additional financing if prevailing instability in credit and financial markets continues.
Operating Liquidity. Based upon our current plans, and other than our need to refinance our debt maturing in 2011, we believe that we have sufficient cash, cash equivalents, available borrowings under credit facilities and marketable securities to cover the estimated funding needs through cash flow breakeven, the point at which revenues are sufficient to fund expected operating expenses, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, interest payments and taxes. The ability to meet our debt and other obligations depends on our future operating performance and on economic, financial, competitive and other factors. We continually review our operations for opportunities to adjust the timing of expenditures to ensure that sufficient resources are maintained. We have the ability and intend to manage the timing and related expenditures of certain activities, including the launch of satellites, the deferral of capital projects, as well as the deferral of other discretionary expenses. Our financial projections are based on assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but contain significant uncertainties. There can be no assurance that our plan will be successful.
37
We operate as unrestricted subsidiaries under the agreements governing SIRIUS’ existing indebtedness. Under certain circumstances, SIRIUS may be unwilling or unable to contribute or loan us capital to support our operations. To the extent our funds are insufficient to support our business, we may be required to seek additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to secure additional financing, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Tightening credit policies could also adversely impact our operational liquidity by making it more difficult or costly for our subscribers to access credit, and could have an adverse impact on our operational liquidity as a result of possible changes to our payment arrangements that credit card companies and other credit providers could unilaterally make.
We regularly evaluate our plans and strategy. These evaluations often result in changes to our plans and strategy, some of which may be material and significantly change our cash requirements or cause us to achieve cash flow breakeven at a later date. These changes in our plans or strategy may include: the acquisition of unique or compelling programming; the introduction of new features or services; significant new or enhanced distribution arrangements; investments in infrastructure, such as satellites, equipment or radio spectrum; and acquisitions of third parties that own programming, distribution, infrastructure, assets, or any combination of the foregoing. In addition, our operations will also be affected by the FCC order approving the Merger which imposed certain conditions upon, among other things, our program offerings and our ability to increase prices. Our future liquidity also may be adversely affected by, among other things, the nature and extent of the benefits we achieve as a wholly owned unrestricted subsidiary of SIRIUS.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are required under the terms of certain agreements to deposit monies in escrow, which place restrictions on cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2008, $120,000 was classified as restricted investments as a result of obligations under escrow deposits. In February 2009, we released to a programming provider $120,000 held in escrow in satisfaction of future obligations under our agreement with them.
We do not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed in Item 1. Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Contractual Cash Commitments

Footnotes to Results of Operations
(1) | Average self-pay monthly churn represents the monthly average of self-pay deactivations by the quarter divided by the average self-pay subscriber balance for the quarter. |
(2) | We measure the percentage of subscribers that receive our service and convert to self-paying after the initial promotion period. We refer to this as the “conversion rate.” At the time of sale, vehicle owners generally receive between three and twelve month prepaid trial subscriptions and we receive a subscription fee from the OEM. Promotional periods generally include the period of trial service plus 30 days to handle the receipt and processing of payments. We measure conversion rate three months after the period in which the trial service ends. Based on our experience it may take up to 90 days after the trial service ends for subscribers to respond to our marketing communications and become self-paying subscribers. |
(3) | ARPU is derived from total earned subscriber revenue and net advertising revenue, divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. ARPU is calculated as follows (in thousands, except for per subscriber amounts): |
| | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2009 | | 2008 |
Subscriber revenue | | $ | 284,469 | | $ | 280,869 |
Net advertising revenue | | | 4,520 | | | 9,118 |

Total subscriber and net advertising revenue | | $ | 288,989 | | $ | 289,987 |
| | | | | | |
Daily weighted average number of subscribers | | | 9,727,153 | | | 9,169,341 |
ARPU (a) | | $ | 9.90 | | $ | 10.54 |
| (a) | Under the original calculation of ARPU for the three months ended March 31, 2008, subscriber revenue excluded activation revenue and net advertising revenue was not included in the calculation. Net advertising revenue per subscriber was disclosed separately as a component of Total revenue per subscriber; while activation revenue per subscriber was a component of Activation, merchandise and other revenue per subscriber disclosed separately as a component of Total revenue per subscriber. The previously reported amounts for ARPU, Net advertising revenue per subscriber and Activation, merchandise and other revenue per subscriber were $10.04, $0.33 and $0.86 (of which $0.19 was related to activation revenue), respectively, or a total of $10.56 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. |
(4) | SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition is derived from subscriber acquisition costs and margins from the direct sale of radios and accessories, excluding share-based payment expense divided by the number of gross subscriber additions for the period. SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition is calculated as follows (in thousands, except for per subscriber amounts): |
| | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 |
Subscriber acquisition cost | | $ | 26,250 | | | $ | 71,524 |
Less: share-based payment expense granted to third parties and employees | | | — | | | | — |
Add: margin from direct sales of radios and accessories | | | (2,452 | ) | | | 4,230 |

| (b) | Under the original definition of SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, share-based payment expense was not excluded from the calculation. The previously reported amounts under the prior definition for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $73. |
(5) | Customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber is derived from total customer service and billing expenses, excluding share-based payment expense, divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. Customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber is calculated as follows (in thousands, except for per subscriber amounts): |
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Customer service and billing expenses | | $ | 33,732 | | | $ | 34,310 | |
Less: share-based payment expense | | | (406 | ) | | | (889 | ) |

(6) | Free cash flow is calculated as follows: |
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | 41,059 | | | $ | (107,696 | ) |
Additions to property and equipment | | | (3,557 | ) | | | (16,868 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Free cash flow | | $ | 37,502 | | | $ | (124,564 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
(7) | Average self-pay monthly churn; conversion rate; ARPU; SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition; customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber; and free cash flow are not measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and are used by us for budgetary and planning purposes; when publicly providing our business outlook; as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons; and to compare our performance to that of our competitors. We also believe that investors also use our current and projected metrics to monitor the performance of our business and to make investment decisions. |
We believe the exclusion of share-based payment expense in our calculations of SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition and customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber is useful given the significant variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair market value of SIRIUS’ common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our subscriber acquisition costs and customer service and billing expenses. Specifically, the exclusion of share-based payment expense in our calculation of SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition is critical in being able to understand the economic impact of the direct costs incurred to acquire a subscriber and the effect over time as economies of scale are reached.
These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(8) | We refer to net loss before interest and investment income, interest expense net of amounts capitalized, income tax expense, gain on change in value of embedded derivative, loss from redemption of debt, loss on investments, other expense (income), depreciation and amortization, and share-based payment expense as adjusted income (loss) from operations. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. We believe adjusted income (loss) from operations is a useful measure of our operating performance. We use adjusted income (loss) from operations for budgetary and planning purposes; to assess the relative profitability and on-going performance of our consolidated operations; to compare our performance from period–to-period; and to compare our performance to that of our competitors. We also believe adjusted income (loss) from operations is useful to investors to compare our operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. We believe that investors use current and projected adjusted income (loss) from operations to estimate our current or prospective enterprise value and make investment decisions. |
Because we fund and build-out our satellite radio system through the periodic raising and expenditure of large amounts of capital, our results of operations reflect significant charges for interest and depreciation expense. We believe adjusted income (loss) from operations provides useful information about the operating performance of our business apart from the costs associated with our capital structure and physical plant. The exclusion of interest and depreciation and amortization expense is useful given fluctuations in interest rates and significant variation in depreciation and amortization expense that can result from the amount and timing of capital expenditures and potential variations in estimated useful lives, all of which can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. We believe the exclusion of taxes is appropriate for comparability purposes as the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. We also believe the exclusion of share-based payment expense is useful given the significant variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair market value of our common stock. To compensate for the exclusion of taxes, other (expense) income, depreciation and amortization and share-based payment expense, we separately measure and budget for these items.
There are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted income (loss) from operations in evaluating our company compared with net loss, which reflects overall financial performance, including the effects of taxes, other income (expense), depreciation and amortization and share-based payment expense. We use adjusted income (loss) from operations to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate our operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net loss as disclosed in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Since adjusted income (loss) from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure, our calculation of adjusted income (loss) from operations may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
As of March 31, 2009, we did not hold or issue any free-standing derivatives. Upon completion of the Merger, the convertible and exchangeable features in the 10% Senior Secured Discount Convertible Notes due 2009, and the 10% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 became settleable in SIRIUS common stock and were subsequently accounted for as embedded derivatives. In the event the debt holders exercise their conversion or exchange option, SIRIUS intends to issue common stock to fulfill the obligation.
We hold investments in marketable securities, which consist of auction rate certificates and a debt security. We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale. We hold an investment in auction rate certificates which are classified as available-for-sale. These securities are consistent with the investment objectives contained within our investment policy. The basic objectives of our investment policy are the preservation of capital, maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet operating requirements and maximizing yield.
Our debt includes fixed and variable rate instruments and the fair market value of our debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2009, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Mel Karmazin, our President, and David J. Frear, our Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our President and our Treasurer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2009. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
FCC Merger Order. On July 25, 2008, the FCC adopted an order approving the Merger. The order became effective immediately upon adoption. This order was published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2008. On September 4, 2008, Mt. Wilson FM Broadcasters, Inc. filed a Petition for Reconsideration of the FCC’s merger order. This Petition for Reconsideration remains pending.
Copyright Royalty Board Proceeding. In January 2008, the Copyright Royalty Board, or CRB, of the Library of Congress issued its decision regarding the royalty rate payable under the statutory license covering the performance of sound recordings over our satellite digital audio radio service for the six-year period starting January 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2012. Under the terms of the CRB’s decision, we paid a royalty of 6.0% of gross revenues, subject to certain exclusions, for 2007 and 2008, we will pay 6.5% for 2009, 7.0% for 2010, 7.5% for 2011 and 8.0% for 2012. SoundExchange has appealed the decision of the CRB to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Oral arguments were heard in March 2009. The parties are awaiting the Court’s decision in this matter.
Atlantic Recording Corporation, BMG Music, Capital Records, Inc., Elektra Entertainment Group Inc., Interscope Records, Motown Record Company, L.P., Sony BMG Music Entertainment, UMG Recordings, Inc., Virgin Records, Inc. and Warner Bros. Records Inc. v. XM Satellite Radio Inc. In May 2006, the plaintiffs filed this action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, and alleges that our radios that include advanced recording functionality infringe upon plaintiffs’ copyrighted sound recordings. We filed a motion to dismiss this matter, and that motion was denied in January 2007. We have resolved the lawsuit with respect to Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and EMI Group, and each of these parties has withdrawn as a party to the lawsuit, and this lawsuit has been dismissed with respect to such parties.
Music publishing companies and certain other record companies also have filed lawsuits, purportedly on a class basis, with similar allegations. We believe these allegations are without merit and that our products comply with applicable copyright law, including the Audio Home Recording Act. We intend to vigorously defend this matter. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of these matters, or the significance, if any, to our business, consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Matthew Enderlin v. XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Inc. In January 2006, the plaintiff filed this action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas on behalf of a purported nationwide class of all XM subscribers. The complaint alleges that we engaged in a deceptive trade practices under Arkansas and other state laws by representing that our music channels are commercial-free. The court stayed the litigation and directed the parties to arbitration. We instituted arbitration with the American Arbitration Association pursuant to the compulsory arbitration clause in its customer service agreement. The plaintiff has filed a counterclaim in the arbitration on behalf of the class that he seeks to represent. We believe this matter is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the ongoing arbitration. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of this matter, or the significance, if any, to our business, consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Other Matters. In the ordinary course of business, we are a defendant in various lawsuits and arbitration proceedings, including actions filed by former employees, parties to contracts or leases and owners of patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property. None of these actions are, in our opinion, likely to have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial position or results of operations.
43
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in response to Part 1, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The bankruptcy of major automakers may negatively affect our subscriber growth, business and prospects.
There is significant uncertainty surrounding General Motors’ future and potential filing for bankruptcy protection. A General Motors bankruptcy could reduce the number of subscribers we realize from General Motors, would allow General Motors to accept or reject its agreement with us, and could disrupt and/or delay the payment of certain amounts to us. If General Motors rejected its agreement with us, we would be released from significant financial obligations to General Motors.
