Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report has been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Quarterly Report have been subject to rounding adjustments.

In this Quarterly Report, we refer to and rely on publicly available information regarding our industry and our competitors. Although we believe the information is reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the information and have not independently verified it.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report constitute forward-looking statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain forward-looking statements as long as they are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “may,” “will,” “ might,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “outlook” and “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information.
The following list represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from historical results or those anticipated or predicted by these forward-looking statements:
| • | | risks associated with operating our in-orbit satellites; |
| • | | satellite launch failures, satellite launch and construction delays and in-orbit failures or reduced performance; |
| • | | our ability to obtain new satellite insurance policies with financially viable insurance carriers on commercially reasonable terms or at all, as well as the ability of our insurance carriers to fulfill their obligations; |
| • | | possible future losses on satellites that are not adequately covered by insurance; |
| • | | domestic and international government regulation; |
| • | | changes in our revenue backlog or expected revenue backlog for future services; |
| • | | pricing pressure and overcapacity in the markets in which we compete; |
| • | | inadequate access to capital markets; |
| • | | the competitive environment in which we operate; |
| • | | customer defaults on their obligations owed to us; |
| • | | our international operations and other uncertainties associated with doing business internationally; and |
In connection with our acquisition by funds controlled by BC Partners Holdings Limited and Silver Lake Partners as described in this Quarterly Report under Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Impact of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions, factors that may cause results or developments to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to:
| • | | our substantial level of indebtedness following consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions; |
| • | | certain covenants in our debt agreements following consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions; |
| • | | the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us in amounts sufficient to make required interest and principal payments; and |
| • | | risks that the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions disrupt our current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention, including key members of our senior management, as a result of such transactions. |
2
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report reflect our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are not guarantees of future performance or results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and include known and unknown risks. Known risks include, among others, the risks discussed in Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, the political, economic and legal conditions in the markets we are targeting for communications services or in which we operate and other risks and uncertainties inherent in the telecommunications business in general and the satellite communications business in particular.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee our future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Because actual results could differ materially from our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about the future, you are urged not to rely on forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report and to view all forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report with caution. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2008
(in thousands, except percentages, share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)
Note 1 General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Intelsat, Ltd. (“Intelsat” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have not been audited, but are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Intelsat, Ltd.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Intelsat is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intelsat Holdings, Ltd. (“Intelsat Holdings”).
On February 4, 2008, Serafina Acquisition Limited, referred to as Serafina, completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity ownership of the Company’s parent, Intelsat Holdings, for total cash consideration of approximately $5.0 billion, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated as of June 19, 2007 (the “BC Share Purchase Agreement”), among Serafina, Intelsat Holdings, certain shareholders of Intelsat Holdings and Serafina Holdings Limited, referred to as Serafina Holdings, the direct parent of Serafina. This transaction is referred to as the New Sponsors Acquisition (see Note 2—Acquisition).
The New Sponsors Acquisition was accounted for by Intelsat Holdings under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141,Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). As a result, the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. In accordance with Topic 5J of the codified SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins, the preliminary purchase accounting adjustments have been “pushed down” and recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and have resulted in a new basis of accounting for the “successor” period beginning after the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition.
Although the effective date of the New Sponsors Acquisition was February 4, 2008, due to the immateriality of the results of operations for the period between February 1, 2008 and February 4, 2008, the Company has accounted for the New Sponsors Acquisition as if it had occurred on February 1, 2008 and recorded “push-down” accounting to reflect the acquisition of the Company at fair value. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the period January 1 to January 31, 2008 are shown under the “predecessor entity.” The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and for the period from February 1 to March 31, 2008 show the operations of the “successor entity” from February 1, 2008, the date the successor entity accounted for the New Sponsors Acquisition, through March 31, 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed

consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates include the determination of fair value with respect to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the New Sponsors Acquisition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, pension and postretirement benefits, the fair value of the Company’s undesignated interest rate swaps, income taxes, useful lives of satellites and other property and equipment and recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets. Changes in such estimates may affect amounts reported in future periods.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In connection with the Company’s implementation of a new financial reporting system, which was placed in service during the first quarter of 2008, the Company identified that certain unallocated cost centers were allocated to direct costs of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) or selling, general and administrative expense based on a company-wide distribution of allocated costs to each of these expense categories. In order to more appropriately align these unallocated costs between direct costs of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and selling, general and administrative expense categories, the Company revised the allocation methodology based on the primary purpose of each legal entity (e.g., sales center, teleport or operation, or administrative). The reclassification did not impact the Company’s previously reported revenue, total operating expenses, income from operations or net loss.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements by defining fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value and expanding disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement 157,which deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Examples of nonfinancial assets and liabilities to which the deferral would apply for the Company include (i) those acquired in a business combination and (ii) goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment testing. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize in their balance sheets the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Previously unrecognized items under SFAS No. 87,Employers’ Accounting for Pensions(“SFAS 87”), and SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions(“SFAS 106”), will now be recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income tax effects. In addition, the measurement date (the date at which plan assets and the benefit obligation are measured) is required to be the Company’s fiscal year end. As more fully described in Note 4—Retirement Plans and Other Retiree Benefits, the Company adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS 158 effective December 31, 2007, and adopted the measurement date provisions during the first quarter of 2008.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). This statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2008 did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements since the Company has not elected to apply the fair value option to any of its eligible financial instruments.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will adopt SFAS 141R upon its effective date as appropriate for any future business combinations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively except for its presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests, which require retroactive application. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 160, and the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2009.
Fair Value Measurements
SFAS 157, which the Company prospectively adopted effective January 1, 2008, defines fair value as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 requires disclosure of the extent to which fair value is used to measure financial assets and liabilities, the inputs utilized in calculating valuation measurements, and the effect of the measurement of significant unobservable inputs on earnings, or changes in net assets, as of the measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs utilized in the measurement and valuation of financial assets or liabilities as of the measurement date:
| • | | Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| • | | Level 2—quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation; and |
| • | | Level 3—unobservable inputs based upon the reporting entity’s internally developed assumptions which market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

The Company evaluated its financial assets and liabilities for those financial assets and liabilities that met the criteria of the disclosure requirements and fair value framework of SFAS 157. The Company identified investments in marketable securities and interest rate financial derivative instruments as having met such criteria.
The Company accounts for its investments in marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. All investments have been classified as available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, and are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholder’s equity (deficit). Realized gains and losses and declines in fair value on available-for-sale securities that are determined to be other than temporary are included in other income (expense), net within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest and dividends on available-for-sale securities are included in interest expense, net and other income (expense), net, respectively within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company determined that the valuation measurement inputs of these marketable securities represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and, accordingly, has classified such investments within Level 1 of the SFAS 157 hierarchy framework. The fair value of our marketable securities as of March 31, 2008 was $10.3 million.
As described in Note 10, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps in order to stabilize cash flow exposure related to fluctuations in interest rates. As described in Note 10, the Company has classified the derivatives within Level 2 of the SFAS 157 hierarchy framework.
Note 2 Acquisition
On February 4, 2008, Serafina completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity ownership of Intelsat Holdings for total cash consideration of approximately $5.0 billion, pursuant to the BC Share Purchase Agreement among Serafina, Intelsat Holdings, certain shareholders of Intelsat Holdings and Serafina Holdings. Although the effective date of the acquisition was February 4, 2008, due to the immateriality of the results of operations for the period between February 1, 2008 and February 4, 2008, the Company accounted for the acquisition as if it had occurred on February 1, 2008.
Serafina Holdings is an entity newly formed by funds controlled by BC Partners Holdings Limited, referred to as BC Partners, and certain other investors, collectively referred to as the BCEC Funds. Subsequent to the execution of the BC Share Purchase Agreement, two investment funds controlled by Silver Lake and other equity investors joined the BCEC Funds as the equity sponsors of Serafina Holdings. The BCEC Funds, the Silver Lake funds and the other equity sponsors are referred to as the New Sponsors and the acquisition of Intelsat Holdings, our parent, is referred to as the New Sponsors Acquisition.
The former shareholders of Intelsat Holdings (other than management), including funds advised by or associated with Apax Partners Worldwide LLP, Apax Partners, L.P., Apollo Management V, L.P., MDP Global Investors Limited and Permira Advisers LLC (collectively referred to as the “Former Sponsors”), sold 100% of their equity interests in Intelsat Holdings. Upon closing, management contributed to Serafina Holdings the portion of their equity interests in Intelsat Holdings not purchased for cash by Serafina for equity interests in Serafina Holdings (which was renamed Intelsat Global, Ltd. on February 8, 2008).

On February 4, 2008, in order to partially finance the New Sponsors Acquisition, Serafina borrowed $4.96 billion in aggregate principal amount of term loans under a $2.81 billion senior unsecured bridge loan credit agreement, dated as of February 4, 2008 (the “Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement”), among Serafina, the several lenders party thereto, Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, and certain other parties, and a $2.15 billion senior unsecured payment-in-kind (referred to as “PIK”) election bridge loan credit agreement, dated as of February 4, 2008 (the “PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement” and, together with the Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement, the “Bridge Loan Credit Agreements”), among Serafina, the several lenders party thereto, Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, and certain other parties.
Borrowings under the Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, in effect from time to time (determined in accordance with the Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 4.5%, which will increase by an additional 50 basis points six months from February 4, 2008, and will increase an additional 50 basis points for each additional consecutive three-month period thereafter up to a maximum interest rate of 11.25% per annum.
Borrowings under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate in effect from time to time (determined in accordance with the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 4.75%, which will increase by an additional 50 basis points six months from February 4, 2008, and will increase an additional 50 basis points for each additional consecutive three-month period thereafter up to a maximum interest rate of 11.5% per annum. In addition, for any interest period through February 4, 2013, the borrower may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the loan under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement (a) entirely in cash, (b) entirely in payment-in-kind interest, referred to as PIK Interest, or (c) 50% in cash and 50% as PIK Interest. If so elected by the borrower, the applicable PIK Interest rate will be the cash pay interest rate in effect during the interest period plus 100 basis points. In no event will such PIK Interest rate exceed 12.5% per annum. Any PIK Interest will be applied to increase the outstanding principal amount of the loans then outstanding under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement.
The Company (following assignment of the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements to Intelsat Bermuda as described below) has elected to pay interest under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement entirely in PIK Interest from the issue date to the interest period ending August 4, 2008.
On February 4, 2008, promptly after the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition, Intelsat Bermuda, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, transferred certain of its assets (including all of its direct and indirect ownership interests in Intermediate Holdco and Intelsat Corp) and certain of its liabilities and obligations (including its 9 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016, 11 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016, Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013, Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2015, and its senior unsecured credit facility) to a newly formed direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelsat Jackson, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Following that transfer, referred to as the Intelsat Bermuda Transfer, Intelsat Jackson became the owner of all of Intelsat Bermuda’s existing assets and the obligor with respect to all of Intelsat Bermuda’s existing liabilities and obligations, and Intelsat Bermuda no longer had any rights or obligations with respect to such assets and liabilities.

Intelsat Bermuda also agreed to indemnify the 2008 MFA parties and their directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives for losses relating to the services contemplated by the 2008 MFA.
In connection with the completion of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions, the Company recorded approximately $313.1 million of transaction costs within restructuring and transaction costs in its condensed consolidated statements of operations during the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008.

The New Sponsors Acquisition was accounted for by Intelsat Holdings under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS 141. As a result, the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. In accordance with Topic 5J of the codified SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins, the preliminary purchase accounting adjustments have been “pushed down” and recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and have resulted in a new basis of accounting for the “successor” period beginning after the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition. Determining fair values required the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions which may be revised as additional information becomes available. In

order to develop estimates of fair values, the Company considered the following generally accepted valuation approaches: the cost approach, the income approach and the market approach. The Company’s estimates included assumptions about projected growth rates, cost of capital, effective tax rates, tax amortization periods, technology royalty rates and technology life cycles, the regulatory and legal environment, and industry and economic trends. Any final adjustments may change the allocation of the purchase price, which could affect the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and could result in a material change.
The values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been based on a purchase price which was calculated as follows:

Note 3 Share-Based and Other Compensation Plans
(a) 2001 and 2004 Share Plans
Prior to January 28, 2005, the Company had two share-based employee compensation plans, the 2001 Share Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”) and the 2004 Share Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan” and collectively the “Plans”). These Plans provided for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, restricted stock awards and other stock unit awards to eligible employees and directors. Options granted under both Plans had an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the underlying ordinary shares on the date of grant and options awarded generally vested over three years.
At the closing of the acquisition of the Company by Intelsat Holdings on January 28, 2005 (referred to, together with related transactions, as the “2005 Acquisition Transactions”), all outstanding awards under the 2001 Plan vested, in the money awards were cashed out, and all other awards were cancelled. All outstanding awards made under the 2004 Plan were cancelled and unvested awards were converted into deferred compensation accounts. The opening balance for each deferred compensation account was the excess of $18.75 per share over the exercise price of the relevant award made under the 2004 Plan. Generally, deferred compensation plus interest was payable to employees in accordance with vesting schedules in the original 2004 Plan awards, and unvested amounts were forfeited upon employee termination. Following the conversion to deferred compensation, the Company recorded compensation expense over the vesting period, including $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. No expense was recorded in 2008 as all amounts were fully vested as of June 2007.
(b) 2005 Share Plan
The board of directors of Intelsat Holdings adopted the Intelsat Holdings, Ltd. 2005 Share Incentive Plan (the “2005 Share Plan”) with an effective date of January 28, 2005, pursuant to which up to 1,300,000 ordinary shares were reserved for grants to employees and directors of Intelsat Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The 2005 Share Plan permitted granting of awards in the form of incentive share options, nonqualified share options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights, phantom shares and performance awards. In conjunction with the 2005 Acquisition Transactions, 928,978 restricted shares were awarded, of which 725,282 were awarded to executive officers under employment agreements. These shares were subject to transfer, vesting and other restrictions as set forth in the applicable employment agreements. A portion of these restricted shares generally vested over 60 months, subject to the executive’s continued employment with the Company. The vesting of certain of the shares awarded was also subject to the meeting of certain performance criteria similar in nature to the performance criteria described below.
The remaining restricted shares that were awarded were to other employees pursuant to restricted share agreements. These restricted share agreements included transfer and other restrictions, and provide for vesting principally as follows: 50% of the shares awarded are time vesting shares, with 7/60 of the time vesting shares vesting on August 1, 2005 and the remainder of the time vesting shares vesting in fifty-three equal monthly installments of 1/60 of the shares per month beginning September 1, 2005; and the remaining 50% of such

restricted shares awarded were performance shares that were to vest if and when, prior to the eighth anniversary of January 28, 2005, the Investors, as defined in the 2005 Share Plan, received a cumulative total return between 2.5 to 3 times the amounts invested by the Investors. Outstanding performance shares not vested by the eighth anniversary of their award would be forfeited.
Recipients of awards who terminated employment with Intelsat Holdings or its subsidiaries would forfeit unvested shares awarded, except that performance shares would remain outstanding for 180 days and would vest if performance vesting criteria were met within 180 days following termination without cause. Additionally, the restricted share agreements had certain repurchase features which provided that if an employee were terminated without cause or upon death or disability, Intelsat Holdings had the right for two years to repurchase any vested shares at fair value as determined on the termination date. In the event an employee resigned, Intelsat Holdings’ repurchase right for vested shares would be at a price of the lesser of fair value or $2.15 per share.
Prior to the completion of the New Sponsors Acquisition, the Company had determined that the fair value of a restricted share was limited to $2.15 unless it was probable that an employee would be terminated without cause. The Company recorded compensation expense for the time vesting restricted shares over the five-year vesting period based on the intrinsic value (which equaled fair value) at the date of the grant of $2.15 per share. Since awards made consisted of shares of the Company’s parent, Intelsat Holdings, compensation costs for vested awards and the cost to repurchase shares were reflected as capital contributions in the form of “liabilities assumed by parent” in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Due to certain repurchase features in the 2005 Share Plan, the restricted share grants were classified as a liability of the Company’s parent, Intelsat Holdings.
Upon consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition on February 4, 2008, all outstanding restricted performance shares under the 2005 Share Plan vested. Vested restricted shares (including time and performance vesting shares) were purchased at approximately $400 per share (the per share price specified in the BC Share Purchase Agreement). In connection with the vesting and modification of these awards upon the consummation of the acquisition, the Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $148.9 million in the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008. In connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, all unvested shares were exchanged for an equivalent value of unvested shares of Serafina Holdings (“exchange shares”) at a fair value of $100.00 per share. These exchange share grants continue to be classified as a liability of the Company’s parent due to certain repurchase features in the 2005 Share Plan. In addition, the vesting periods associated with the unvested Intelsat Holdings restricted shares continued. During the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008, the Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $2.2 million related to the exchange shares.
A summary of the changes in Intelsat Holdings’ non-vested restricted shares during the predecessor period January 1 through January 31, 2008 is set forth below:
| | | | | | |
| | Number of Shares | | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |

(c) Share-Based Compensation Arrangements Under the 2005 Share Plan
During 2006 and 2007, Intelsat Holdings entered into SCAs with selected employees of Intelsat Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries under the 2005 Share Plan, which would permit such employees to purchase Intelsat Holdings common shares. These SCAs vested over time and were subject to continued employment through each applicable vesting date. The vesting of these SCAs was to accelerate in the event of the occurrence of both a change in control and a termination without cause (each as defined in the 2005 Share Plan) of the relevant employee.
Any common shares held by employees as a result of the exercise of SCAs could be repurchased by Intelsat Holdings and any outstanding but unexercised SCAs could be cancelled at any time after termination of employment. Shares issued as a result of the exercise of SCAs could be repurchased at the lesser of fair market value and the exercise price in the event of voluntary termination by the employee and other defined circumstances. Since these repurchase features enabled the Company to recover the shares without transferring any appreciation in value if the employee were to terminate voluntarily, the SCAs were not deemed to be granted under SFAS No. 123R,Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). The repurchase features provided that if an employee were to be terminated without cause or upon death or disability, Intelsat Holdings would have the right for two years to repurchase any vested shares at fair value as determined on the termination date.
In connection with Intelsat Bermuda’s July 3, 2006 acquisition of PanAmSat Holdco (referred to, together with related transactions, as the “PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions”), two executives of Intelsat Corp prior to July 3, 2006 who held options to purchase common stock of PanAmSat Holdco rolled over such options by entering into SCAs to purchase Intelsat Holdings common shares. While the rollover adjusted the exercise price and number of applicable shares covered, the vesting period associated with the previous PanAmSat Holdco stock options continued, and the SCAs were to vest in annual installments through August 2009. In the case of one of the executives, the SCA was deemed a grant of options to purchase Intelsat Holdings common shares under SFAS 123R.
The Company granted 54,702 new SCAs to one of the executives at an exercise price of $243.00 per share and 9,174 rollover options at an exercise price of $25.00 per share. These options had a weighted average fair value at the date of grant of $9.9 million, of which $1.2 million was recorded as compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The fair value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes

option pricing model, and the Company’s assumptions included a five-year term, volatility of 65.1% (based on industry competitors), a risk-free interest rate of 5.08%, no dividend yield and a fair value of Intelsat Holdings’ shares of $243.00 per share.
In connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, vesting in SCAs issued under the 2005 Share Plan doubled at consummation of the transaction if the awardee was still employed on February 4, 2008. The vested SCAs were cancelled in return for cash in an amount equal to the excess of approximately $400 (the per share price of the transaction) over the exercise price of each share. In connection with the vesting and cancellation of these awards, the Company recorded expense of approximately $47.6 million in the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008. The remaining unvested SCAs were rolled over into new options of Serafina Holdings, but continue to be subject to the same repurchase feature as discussed above and thus continue to be deemed not granted under SFAS 123R.
(d) Deferred Compensation Plan and Supplemental Savings Plan
Intelsat Corp had a Deferred Compensation Plan and a Supplemental Savings Plan for eligible employees. Under both plans, executives and other highly compensated employees were entitled to defer a portion of their compensation to future years. In connection with the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, Intelsat Corp terminated both the Supplemental Savings Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan immediately before the closing of the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions on July 3, 2006. The remaining payments of $6.2 million were made to participants of the plans during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Note 4 Retirement Plans and Other Retiree Benefits
(a) Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Intelsat maintains a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all employees hired prior to July 19, 2001. The cost of providing benefits to eligible participants under the defined benefit retirement plan is calculated using the plan’s benefit formulas, which take into account the participants’ remuneration, dates of hire, years of eligible service, and certain actuarial assumptions. Effective January 1, 2006, certain cost-of-living adjustments and surviving spouse benefits that are attributable to pre-2002 accrued benefits, as defined, are limited to compensation earned through December 31, 2005; benefits accrued after December 31, 2005 are not taken into account in determining a surviving child’s death benefit (as defined in the plan), and transfers into the plan from Intelsat’s Supplement Retirement Income Plan are subject to certain limitations. Intelsat has historically funded the defined benefit retirement plan based on actuarial advice using the projected unit credit cost method. Concurrent with Intelsat’s privatization in 2001, the defined benefit retirement plan became subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA. Intelsat expects that its future contributions to the defined benefit retirement plan will be based on the minimum funding requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and on the plan’s funded status. Based on these criteria, the Company was not required to make additional contributions in 2007 to the defined benefit retirement plan, and it does not currently expect that it will be required to make any such contributions during 2008.
In addition, as part of its overall medical plan, Intelsat provides postretirement medical benefits to certain current retirees, as well as to employees hired prior to January 1, 2004 who meet certain criteria. The program to provide these postretirement medical benefits is unfunded, and the cost of this program is calculated by an

actuary based on the level of benefits provided, years of service and certain other factors. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company amended its postretirement medical benefits program to provide retiree medical benefits only to employees who remain continuously employed by the Company until retirement, who are enrolled in the Company’s medical plan at retirement, and who met all of the following requirements as of December 31, 2005: they were at least age 45, had completed at least five years of service, and had age plus years of service greater than or equal to 60.
Adoption of SFAS 158. On December 31, 2007, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158. SFAS 158 required the Company to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of its pension and other postretirement benefits in the December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption represents the net unrecognized actuarial gains/losses and unrecognized prior service costs/credits, both of which were previously netted against the plan’s funded status in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets pursuant to SFAS 87 and SFAS 106. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic pension cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption of SFAS 158. Changes in fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations arising during 2008 are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
On January 1, 2008 the Company adopted the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 utilizing a 15 month model for transition. Accordingly, the Company used its September 30, 2007 valuation to project 15 months of net periodic benefit cost and recognized 3/15ths, or $0.5 million (net of tax), of such costs as an adjustment to accumulated deficit in January 2008.
Net periodic pension benefit included the following components for the three months ended March 31, 2007, the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 and the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008:

The effect of the New Sponsors Acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed was an increase to the projected benefit obligation of $43.2 million. Additionally, all previously existing net gain or loss, prior service cost or credits recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were eliminated in purchase accounting (see Note 2 – Acquisition).
(b) Other Retirement Plans
The Company maintains two defined contribution retirement plans, qualified under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for its employees in the United States. One plan is for Intelsat employees who were hired before July 19, 2001 or otherwise participate in the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan (the “SRIP”) and the other plan is for Intelsat employees hired on or after July 19, 2001, the Retirement Savings Plan (the “RSP”). Each employee participating in the SRIP or RSP is eligible to contribute, on a tax deferred basis and on an after-tax basis, up to 100% of eligible earnings, subject to regulatory limits. The Company matches 50% of employee contributions up to 2% of eligible earnings for participants in the SRIP, and 100% of employee contributions up to 5% of eligible earnings for participants in the RSP. Additionally, the Company provides a discretionary contribution based on performance against pre-defined metrics of between 0% and 4% of eligible earnings for employees participating in the SRIP or the RSP and a fixed contribution of 2% of eligible earnings for participants in the RSP, all subject to regulatory limits. The Company recognized compensation expense for these plans of $1.5 million, $0.5 million, and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 and the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008, respectively. Intelsat also maintains an unfunded deferred compensation plan for executives; however, benefit accruals under the plan were discontinued during 2001. Intelsat maintains other defined contribution retirement plans in several non-U.S. jurisdictions.

The Company has entered into launch contracts for the launch of both specified and unspecified future satellites. Each of these launch contracts provides that such contract may be terminated at the option of the Company, subject to payment of a termination fee that increases in magnitude as the applicable launch date approaches. In addition, in the event of a failure of any launch, the Company may exercise its right to obtain a replacement launch within a specified period following its request for re-launch.
Note 7 Investments
(a) WildBlue Communications, Inc
The Company has an ownership interest of approximately 28.8% in WildBlue Communications, Inc., referred to as WildBlue, a company offering broadband Internet access services in the continental United States via satellite. The Company accounts for its investment using the equity method of accounting. Intelsat’s share of losses of WildBlue is included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007 and January 31, 2008, cumulative equity losses exceeded the investment, and as a result, the investment balance was zero and no additional losses from WildBlue were recognized. Further, because of a history of operating and on-going losses at WildBlue, the investment was determined to have no value in connection with the allocation of the purchase price from the New Sponsors Acquisition and remained at zero at March 31, 2008.
(b) Horizons-1 and Horizons-2
As a result of the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, the Company has a joint venture with JSAT, a leading satellite operator in the Asia-Pacific region. The joint venture is named Horizons Satellite Holdings, LLC, and consists of two investments: Horizons-1 and Horizons-2.
Horizons-1 owns and operates the Ku-band portion of the Horizons-1 satellite in the fixed satellite services sector, offering service to customers in the Asia-Pacific region. The Company accounts for its investment using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of results of Horizons-1 is included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and was a gain of $0.1 million, $0.02 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 and the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008, respectively. The investment balance of $19.1 million and $18.6 million as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, respectively, was included within other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investment balance was reduced by $0.5 million as a result of the fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the New Sponsors Acquisition (see Note 2 –Acquisition).
On August 1, 2005, Intelsat Corp formed a second satellite joint investment with JSAT International (“JSAT”) that built and launched a Ku-band satellite in December 2007 to operate at 74.05 degrees west longitude, referred to as Horizons–2. The Horizons-2 satellite entered into service in February 2008. The satellite will support digital video, high-definition television and IP-based content distribution networks to broadband Internet and satellite news gathering services in the United States. The total future joint investment in Horizons-2 is expected to be $193.1 million as of March 31, 2008, of which each of the joint venture partners is required to fund their 50% share beginning in March 2008. In connection with its investment in Horizons-2, in August 2005, the Company entered into a capital contribution and subscription agreement, which requires it to fund its 50% share of the amounts due under Horizons-2’s loan agreement with a third-party lender. Pursuant to this

New Sponsors Acquisition
In connection with the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition on February 4, 2008, Intelsat Bermuda assumed certain debt obligations entered into by Serafina to effect the transaction and refinance certain existing debt of Intelsat. The assumed debt obligations consisted of the $2.81 billion Senior Bridge Loan Credit

Agreement and the $2.15 billion PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the bridge financing to redeem existing senior notes of the Company and its subsidiaries in the aggregate principal amount of $1.26 billion. In addition, the Company entered into amendments and a joinder to its existing credit agreements to facilitate the New Sponsors Acquisition. The New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions included changes in the debt guarantor structure and represented a change of control under various indentures and credit agreements governing the indebtedness of Intelsat Holdings and its subsidiaries that contain change of control provisions (see Note 2 – Acquisition).
In connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, the Company’s pre-acquisition long-term debt was revalued to fair value as of the effective date of the transaction, resulting in a net decrease of approximately $263.1 million to the carrying value of the debt. This difference between the newly allocated fair value and par value of the debt is being amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt. The amortization in the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 increased interest expense by approximately $9.2 million.
Debt Transfer and Repayment
On January 15, 2008, the Company repaid at maturity Intelsat Corp’s $150.0 million of 6 3/8% Senior Notes due 2008 using funds borrowed under the revolving credit facility portion of Intelsat Corp’s senior secured credit facilities. This revolver borrowing was subsequently repaid on February 4, 2008 using funds borrowed under a $150.0 million Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loan and cash on hand (see Note 2 – Acquisition).
On February 4, 2008, Intelsat Bermuda transferred its debt obligations to Intelsat Jackson (see Note 2 – Acquisition).
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company redeemed $1.26 billion in long-term debt and incurred early redemption premiums of $38.5 million as follows:
| • | | On February 7, 2008, the Company redeemed Intelsat Jackson’s $260.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013, and incurred an early redemption premium of $18.9 million. |
| • | | On February 7, 2008, the Company redeemed Intelsat Jackson’s $600.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2015, and incurred an early redemption premium of $12.0 million. |
| • | | On March 6, 2008, the Company redeemed its $400.0 million of 5 1/4% Senior Notes due 2012, and incurred an early redemption premium of $7.6 million. |
The premiums incurred have been included in the fair value of the associated debt as of the date of the New Sponsors Acquisition.
Change of Control Offers
As is discussed in Note 2 – Acquisition, the New Sponsors Acquisition resulted in a change of control under the indentures and credit agreements governing certain of the Company’s outstanding series of notes and loans, giving the holders of those notes and loans the right to require the issuer to repurchase or repay those notes or

loans at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase or repayment. This provision relates to the 2013 Sub Holdco Notes, the 2015 Sub Holdco Notes, the 2014 Corp Notes, the 2016 Corp Notes, Intermediate Holdco’s 9 1/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2015, Intelsat Jackson’s 9 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016, Intelsat Jackson’s 11 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016 and the Intelsat Jackson $1.0 billion Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement. Each indenture or agreement requires that an offer to repurchase or repay the obligation must be made by the issuer within a stipulated period of time after the date of the change in control and that the repurchase or repayment date of each such change of control offer must be within a stipulated period of time after the date the notice of such change of control offer is mailed to holders of such notes or loans. Therefore, as of the acquisition date, the Company was not able to estimate the amount of debt which would be tendered to the Company for repurchase or repayment as a result of the change in control provisions, and the related premium over the principal amounts that the Company would be required to pay to redeem the debt. However, as this contingency is resolved over the stipulated time periods, the Company will make additional purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the difference between the actual amounts paid by the Company to repurchase or repay the debt (including the related premiums over principal amounts of the debt) and the estimated fair values recorded in connection with the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, which will likely increase goodwill. These adjustments will be recorded at the time the contingency is resolved.
As discussed in Note 2 – Acquisition, on May 2, 2008, Intelsat Sub Holdco completed the repurchase of $874.6 million principal amount of its outstanding 2013 Sub Holdco Notes and $674.3 million principal amount of its outstanding 2015 Sub Holdco Notes, and Intelsat Corp completed the repurchase of $651.6 million principal amount of its outstanding 2014 Corp Notes and $575.0 million principal amount of its outstanding 2016 Corp Notes. Intelsat Sub Holdco and Intelsat Corp financed these repurchases as discussed below.
On May 2, 2008, Intelsat Sub Holdco borrowed an $883.3 million senior unsecured term loan due 2013, referred to as the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan, pursuant to the 2013 Unsecured Credit Agreement and a $681.0 million senior unsecured term loan due 2015, referred to as the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan, pursuant to the 2015 Unsecured Credit Agreement. The 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan and the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan are referred to collectively as the 2008 Sub Holdco Term Loans. Intelsat Sub Holdco used the proceeds from the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan and the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of the 2013 Sub Holdco Notes and the 2015 Sub Holdco Notes, respectively, and to pay associated fees and expenses.
The interest rates on the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan and the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan are fixed at 8 1/2% and 8 7/8%, respectively. Interest on the 2008 Sub Holdco Term Loans is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2008. Intelsat Sub Holdco may prepay some or all of the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan and the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan at any time prior to January 15, 2009 and January 15, 2010, respectively, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the make-whole premium described in the respective credit agreements. Thereafter, Intelsat Sub Holdco may prepay some or all of the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan or the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan at the applicable prepayment prices set forth in the 2013 Unsecured Credit Agreement and the 2015 Unsecured Credit Agreement, respectively. The 2008 Sub Holdco Term Loans are guaranteed by Intelsat, Ltd., Intelsat Bermuda, Intelsat Jackson, Intermediate Holdco and certain subsidiaries of Intelsat Sub Holdco.
On May 2, 2008, Intelsat Corp borrowed a $658.1 million senior unsecured term loan due 2014, referred to as the 2014 Corp Term Loan, pursuant to the 2014 Unsecured Credit Agreement. Intelsat Corp used the proceeds

of the 2014 Corp Term Loan, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of the 2014 Corp Notes and to pay associated fees and expenses. The interest rate on the 2014 Corp Term Loan is fixed at 9 1/4%. Interest on the 2014 Corp Term Loan is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2008. Intelsat Corp may prepay some or all of the 2014 Corp Term Loan at any time prior to August 15, 2009, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the make-whole premium described in the 2014 Unsecured Credit Agreement. Thereafter, Intelsat Corp may prepay some or all of the 2014 Corp Term Loan at the applicable prepayment prices set forth in the 2014 Unsecured Credit Agreement. The 2014 Corp Term Loan is guaranteed by certain U.S. subsidiaries of Intelsat Corp.
On May 2, 2008, Intelsat Corp also borrowed a $580.7 million senior unsecured term loan due 2016, referred to as the 2016 Corp Term Loan, pursuant to the 2016 Unsecured Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan is fixed at 9 1/4%. Intelsat Corp used the proceeds of the 2016 Corp Term Loan, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of the 2016 Corp Notes and to pay associated fees and expenses. Interest on the 2016 Corp Term Loan is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2008. Intelsat Corp may prepay some or all of the 2016 Corp Term Loan at any time prior to June 15, 2011, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the make-whole premium described in the 2016 Unsecured Credit Agreement. Thereafter, Intelsat Corp may prepay some or all of the 2016 Corp Term Loan at the applicable prepayment prices set forth in the 2016 Unsecured Credit Agreement. In addition, until June 15, 2009, Intelsat Corp may redeem up to 35% of the 2016 Corp Term Loan with the proceeds of certain equity offerings and capital contributions. The 2016 Corp Term Loan is guaranteed by certain U.S. subsidiaries of Intelsat Corp.
Availability Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $12.1 million and both its revolving credit facilities were undrawn. Under the terms of the credit agreements governing Intelsat Sub Holdco’s and Intelsat Corp’s senior secured credit facilities, Intelsat Sub Holdco and Intelsat Corp had $240.0 million (net of standby letters of credit) and $172.9 million (net of standby letters of credit), respectively, of availability under their senior secured credit facilities.
Note 10 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Swaps
As of March 31, 2008, the Company held interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion with maturities ranging from 2010 to 2013. These swaps were entered into as described below to economically hedge the variability in cash flow on a portion of the floating-rate term loans under the Company’s senior secured and unsecured credit facilities, but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. On a quarterly basis, the Company receives a floating rate of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of interest.
In February 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into five-year interest rate swaps with an effective date of March 14, 2008 to hedge interest expense on an aggregate notional amount of $2.34 billion expected to mature on March 14, 2013. In addition, certain of these swaps contain options covering a notional amount of $717.0 million that would effectively permit us to terminate the underlying swaps on March 14, 2011, prior to the stated maturity of March 14, 2013. If we exercise the options, the cash flows (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) for the underlying swap and those from the options are expected to offset one another.

March 31, 2008
(in thousands, except percentages, share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)
The Company’s indirect subsidiary, Intelsat Corp, which was acquired as part of the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, entered into a five-year interest rate swap on March 14, 2005 to hedge interest expense on a notional amount of $1.25 billion. On March 14, 2008, under the original terms of the swap agreement, the notional amount was reduced to $625.0 million, at which level it will remain until expiration on March 14, 2010.
The counterparties to such agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company’s exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each quarterly settlement period over the life of the agreement. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would pay or receive to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, the market expectation for future interest rates and its current creditworthiness. Observable inputs utilized in the income approach valuation technique incorporate identical contractual notional amounts, fixed coupon rates, periodic terms for interest payments and contract maturity. The Company has determined the valuation measurement inputs of these derivative instruments to maximize the use of observable inputs that market participants would use in pricing similar or identical instruments and market data obtained from independent sources, which is readily observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the derivative instrument. Further, the valuation measurement inputs minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Accordingly, the Company has classified the derivatives within Level 2 of the SFAS 157 hierarchy framework.
All of these interest rate swaps were undesignated as of March 31, 2008. The agreements have been marked-to-market and the change in the fair value of the agreements is recorded within loss on undesignated interest rate swaps in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 and the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008, the net change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the related interest, net was $1.8 million, $11.4 million and $31.5 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, $14.2 million and $58.1 million, respectively, was included in other long-term liabilities within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the fair value of the interest rate swaps. On March 31, 2008, the rate we would pay averaged 3.8% and the rate we would receive averaged 2.9%.

The difference in the Company’s tax expense between the three months ended March 31, 2007, the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 and the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 was primarily caused by lower pre-tax book income in 2008 in the Company’s historical U.S. subsidiaries and continued losses in the Company’s Intelsat Holding Corporation subsidiary. Because Bermuda does not currently impose an income tax, Intelsat’s statutory tax rate is zero. The difference between tax expense (benefit) reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and tax computed at statutory rates is attributable to the provision for foreign taxes, which were principally in the United States and United Kingdom, as well as withholding taxes on revenue earned in many of the foreign markets.

Tax Contingency
Prior to August 20, 2004, the Company’s subsidiary, Intelsat Corp, joined with The DIRECTV Group and General Motors Corporation (“GM”) in filing a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. In April 2004, Intelsat Corp entered into a tax separation agreement with The DIRECTV Group that superseded four earlier tax-related agreements among Intelsat Corp and its subsidiaries, The DIRECTV Group and certain of its affiliates. Pursuant to the tax separation agreement, The DIRECTV Group agreed to indemnify Intelsat Corp for all federal and consolidated state and local income taxes a taxing authority may attempt to collect from Intelsat Corp regarding any liability for the federal or consolidated state or local income taxes of GM and The DIRECTV Group, except those income taxes Intelsat Corp is required to pay under the tax separation agreement. In addition, The DIRECTV Group agreed to indemnify Intelsat Corp for any taxes (other than those taxes described in the preceding sentence) related to any periods or portions of such periods ending on or prior to the day of the closing of the PanAmSat recapitalization, which occurred on August 20, 2004, in amounts equal to 80% of the first $75.0 million of such other taxes and 100% of any other taxes in excess of the first $75.0 million. As a result, Intelsat Corp’s tax exposure after indemnification related to these periods is capped at $15.0 million, of which $4.0 million has been paid to date. The tax separation agreement with The DIRECTV Group was effective from August 20, 2004 until the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to all taxes to which the tax separation agreement relates. As of both December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, the Company has recorded a tax indemnification receivable related to these periods of $6.8 million.
In December 2007, the Company received a notice of assessment from the income tax officer, New Delhi, for the tax year ended March 31, 2005 (assessment year 2005/2006). The assessment was for approximately $0.5 million. The Company paid the assessment on January 8, 2008. The Company and The DIRECTV Group agreed that the indemnity receivable associated with this assessment is $0.2 million. Once The DIRECTV Group pays the Company this amount, the indemnity with respect to India will be satisfied.
On October 25, 2007, Intelsat Corp was notified by The DIRECTV Group that the IRS had begun a federal income tax return audit for the period beginning December 23, 2003 and ending December 31, 2005. As mentioned above, under the terms of Intelsat Corp’s tax separation agreement with The DIRECTV Group, certain federal income taxes are fully indemnified by The DIRECTV Group for periods through August 20, 2004.
As of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits were $62.5 million and $62.9 million respectively (including interest and penalties), of which $24.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.
Note 12 Restructuring and Transaction Costs
The Company’s restructuring and transaction costs include its historical facilities restructuring plans and management-approved restructuring plans to consolidate and integrate the management and operations of Intelsat and PanAmSat Holdco subsequent to consummation of the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions as well as transaction-related expenses incurred in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition. Total restructuring and transaction costs were $4.8 million and $313.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008, respectively. No comparable amounts were recorded during the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 (see Note 2 – Acquisition).

(a) Facilities Restructuring Plans
The restructuring plan approved subsequent to the consummation of the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions includes the closure of the PanAmSat former corporate headquarters in Wilton, Connecticut, as well as two other locations in the United States. These costs relate primarily to payments due on existing lease obligations that are expected to be incurred and paid through 2011. PanAmSat Holdco also had recorded liabilities in connection with its 2002 approval of a plan to restructure several of its United States locations and close certain facilities, some of which are currently being leased through 2011. Additionally, in an effort to further streamline operations, during 2004, PanAmSat consolidated its Manhattan Beach, El Segundo and Long Beach, California facilities. A liability of $6.4 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, respectively, is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(b) Workforce Restructuring Plan
As part of the consolidation and integration associated with the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, the Company approved a workforce restructuring plan. This plan provided for the relocation and/or severance of employees due to planned facility closures. This workforce reduction covered approximately 400 employees. Approximately $4.8 million of operating expenses were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in relation to this plan during the three months ended March 31, 2007, with no operating expenses recorded in relation to these plans for the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 or the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008. These costs included employee compensation, benefits, outplacement services, legal services and relocation. A liability of $6.7 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, respectively, was included in employee related liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the remaining liability at March 31, 2008 is expected to be paid during 2008.
The following table summarizes the recorded accruals which are included in employee related liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and activity related to the facilities restructuring and workforce restructuring (in millions):

Note 13 Contingencies
(a) Insurance
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had in effect in-orbit insurance policies covering four satellites with an insured value of $377.9 million and an aggregate net book value of $638.5 million. The Company had 48 uninsured satellites in orbit as of March 31, 2008 with a net book value in the aggregate of $3.7 billion. Of the insured satellites, one was covered by an insurance policy with substantial exclusions or exceptions to coverage for failures of specific components identified by the underwriters as at risk for possible failure, referred to as Significant Exclusion Policies. The Significant Exclusion Policies reduce the probability of an insurance recovery in the event of a loss on this satellite. Galaxy 13/Horizons-1, which was placed in service in January 2004 and is insured by a policy with an exclusion for XIPS related anomalies, continues to have XIPS available as its primary propulsion system. It also has a bi-propellent fuel system currently in use, with sufficient bi-propellant fuel to maintain station-kept orbit until approximately 2016.
An uninsured failure of one or more satellites could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, higher premiums on insurance policies would increase the Company’s costs, thereby reducing income from operations by the amount of such increased premiums.
(b) Litigation and Claims
The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business, but management does not believe that the resolution of any pending proceedings would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
(c) LCO Protection
Most of the customer service commitments entered into prior to Intelsat’s privatization in 2001 were transferred to Intelsat pursuant to novation agreements. Certain of these agreements contain provisions, including provisions for lifeline connectivity obligation, referred to as LCO, protection, which constrain Intelsat’s ability to price services in some circumstances. Intelsat’s LCO contracts require the Company to provide customers with the right to renew their service commitments covered by LCO contracts at prices no higher than the prices charged for those services on the privatization date. Under some circumstances, Intelsat may also be required by an LCO contract to reduce the price for a service commitment covered by the contract. LCO protection may continue until July 18, 2013. As of March 31, 2008, Intelsat had approximately $209.0 million of backlog covered by LCO contracts and to date has not been required to reduce prices for its LCO-protected service commitments. There can be no assurance that Intelsat will not be required to reduce prices in the future under its LCO commitments.
(d) Launch Termination Fees
In October 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services for the launch of an unspecified future satellite. This agreement provided that the Company may terminate at its option, subject to the payment of a termination fee that is the greater of (a) 50% of the launch service price and accommodation fee paid or due as of the effective date of the termination or (b) $30.0 million. On July 3, 2007, the Company provided authorization to proceed to Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services for a launch vehicle that is planned to be utilized by the Company for the launch of the IS-14 satellite. The termination provisions above remain applicable if the Company were to terminate the launch vehicle order.
(e) Other
Boeing Satellite Systems, Inc., formerly Hughes Space and Communications Company, has security interests in certain transponders on the IS-2, IS-3, IS-4 and IS-5 satellites to secure incentive payments owed by the Company pursuant to satellite construction contracts.

Note 14 Business and Geographic Segment Information
The Company operates in a single industry segment, in which it provides satellite services to its communications customers around the world. Revenue by region is based on the locations of customers to which services are billed. The Company’s satellites are in geosynchronous orbit, and consequently are not attributable to any geographic location. Of the Company’s remaining assets, substantially all are located in the United States. The geographic distribution of Intelsat’s revenue was as follows:

As payment for certain structuring and advisory services rendered, Intelsat Bermuda also paid and expensed an aggregate transaction and advisory fee of $60.0 million to the 2008 MFA parties upon the closing of the New Sponsors Acquisition.
In connection with the closing of the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, Intelsat Bermuda entered into a monitoring fee agreement (the “2006 MFA”) with the Former Sponsors, or affiliates of, or entities advised by, designated by or associated with, the Former Sponsors, as the case may be, referred to collectively as the 2006 MFA parties, pursuant to which the 2006 MFA parties provided certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services with respect to Intelsat Bermuda, PanAmSat Holdco and their respective subsidiaries.

Note 16 Subsequent Events
As discussed in Note 2 – Acquisition, the New Sponsors Acquisition resulted in a change of control under the indentures and credit agreements governing certain of the Company’s outstanding series of notes and under the Intelsat Jackson Unsecured Credit Agreement, giving the holders of those notes and the lenders of those loans the right to require the issuer to repurchase those notes and repay those loans at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase or repayment. Pursuant to the change of control provisions, on May 2, 2008, the Company redeemed certain of its outstanding debt obligations using funds borrowed of $1.6 billion in aggregate principal amount (see Note 9 – Long Term Debt).
Note 17 Supplemental Consolidating Financial Information

and Intelsat Sub Holdco assumed substantially all of the then-existing liabilities of Intelsat Bermuda. Following these transactions, Zeus Special Subsidiary Limited was amalgamated with Intelsat Bermuda, and Intelsat Bermuda became an obligor on the 2015 Discount Notes.
On July 3, 2006, in connection with the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, Intelsat Bermuda transferred the obligation on the 2015 Discount Notes to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intermediate Holdco. Intermediate Holdco became an obligor on the 2015 Discount Notes and confirmed its guarantee of the 2005 Acquisition Finance Notes and Intelsat Bermuda became a guarantor of the 2015 Discount Notes and confirmed its guarantee of the 2005 Acquisition Finance Notes. The 2015 Discount Notes are not guaranteed by any of Intelsat Bermuda’s direct or indirect subsidiaries.
In connection with the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, Intelsat Bermuda issued $1.33 billion of the Jackson Non-Guaranteed Notes and $260.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013, referred to together as the July 2006 Notes. The July 2006 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Intelsat. The July 2006 Notes are not guaranteed by any of Intelsat Bermuda’s direct or indirect subsidiaries.
On January 12, 2007, Intelsat Bermuda issued $600.0 million in Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Refinancing Notes”), which were fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Intelsat, Ltd.

INTELSAT, LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2008
(in thousands, except percentages, share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)
On March 3, 2005, Intelsat Bermuda transferred substantially all of its assets to Intelsat Sub Holdco and Intelsat Sub Holdco assumed substantially all of the then-existing liabilities of Intelsat Bermuda.
In connection with the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, Intelsat Bermuda issued $750.0 million of the Jackson Guaranteed Notes. The Jackson Guaranteed Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Intelsat, its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelsat Sub Holdco, and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
On February 4, 2008, promptly after the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition, Intelsat Bermuda transferred certain of its assets and certain of its liabilities and obligations (including the Jackson Guaranteed Notes) to Intelsat Jackson. Intelsat Jackson became the obligor on the Jackson Guaranteed Notes and Intelsat Bermuda confirmed its guarantee of the Jackson Guaranteed Notes.
Separate financial statements of Intelsat, Ltd., Intelsat Bermuda, Intelsat Jackson, Intelsat Sub Holdco and the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because management believes that such financial statement would not be material to investors.
Investments in subsidiaries in the following condensed consolidating financial information are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Consolidating adjustments include the following:
| • | | elimination of investment in subsidiaries; |
| • | | elimination of intercompany accounts; |
| • | | elimination of intercompany sales between guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries; and |
| • | | elimination of equity in earnings (losses) of subsidiaries. |

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and their notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion and analysis relates to periods both prior to and after the completion of the New Sponsors Acquisition, as defined below, which was completed on February 4, 2008. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of factors that could cause our future financial condition and results of operations to be different from those discussed below. Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Quarterly Report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them, and figures expressed as percentages in the text may not total 100% or, as applicable, when aggregated may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the percentages that precede them. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” in this Quarterly Report are to, and all monetary amounts in this Quarterly Report are presented in, U.S. dollars.

On February 4, 2008, pursuant to a share purchase agreement, referred to as the BC Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2007, by and among certain shareholders of Intelsat Holdings, Serafina Holdings and Serafina, Serafina acquired 100% of the equity ownership of Intelsat Holdings, referred to as the New Sponsors Acquisition. The aggregate cash purchase price for all of the equity securities of Intelsat Holdings was approximately $5.0 billion. The former shareholders of Intelsat Holdings (other than management), consisting of the funds advised by or associated with Apax Partners Worldwide LLP and Apax Partners, L.P., Apollo Management V, L.P., MDP Global Investors Limited, and Permira Advisers LLC, referred to collectively as the Former Sponsors, sold 100% of their equity interests in Intelsat Holdings. Upon closing, management contributed to Serafina Holdings the portion of their equity interests in Intelsat Holdings not purchased for cash by Serafina for equity interests in Serafina Holdings (which was renamed Intelsat Global, Ltd. on February 8, 2008).
The New Sponsors Acquisition has been accounted for by Intelsat Holdings under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141,Business Combinations. As a result, the purchase price and related costs have been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the time of the acquisition based on their estimated fair values. In accordance with Topic 5J of the codified SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins, the purchase price paid to acquire Intelsat Holdings and related purchase accounting adjustments has been “pushed down” and recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements and have resulted in a new basis of accounting for the “successor” period beginning after the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition. In the future, we expect our depreciation and amortization expense to increase, primarily due to the fair value adjustments increasing the carrying value of our satellites and other property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets. As part of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions, Intelsat Bermuda incurred substantial additional indebtedness. We are a highly leveraged company, and in connection with the completion of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions we have become a significantly more highly leveraged company, which will result in a significant increase in our interest expense in future periods. We also expect our interest expense to increase significantly as a result of the
56
interest accrued from the amortization of the net discount applied to the face value of our outstanding long-term debt due to the estimated fair value of our existing long-term debt being less than its book value.
Although the effective date of the New Sponsors Acquisition was February 4, 2008, due to the immateriality of our results of operations for the period between February 1, 2008 and February 4, 2008, we accounted for the New Sponsors Acquisition as if it had occurred on February 1, 2008.
On February 4, 2008, in order to finance in part the New Sponsors Acquisition, Serafina borrowed $4.96 billion in aggregate principal amount of term loans under a $2.81 billion senior unsecured bridge loan credit agreement, or the Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement, and under a $2.15 billion senior unsecured PIK election bridge loan credit agreement, or the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement, and together with the Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement, referred to collectively as the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements.
On February 4, 2008, promptly after the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition, Intelsat Bermuda transferred certain of its assets (including all of its direct and indirect ownership interests in Intermediate Holdco and Intelsat Corp) and certain of its liabilities and obligations (including its 9 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016, 11 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016, Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013, Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2015 and its senior unsecured credit facility) to a newly formed direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelsat Jackson, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement. Following that transfer, referred to as the Intelsat Bermuda Transfer, Intelsat Jackson became the owner of substantially all of Intelsat Bermuda’s existing assets and the obligor with respect to substantially all of Intelsat Bermuda’s existing liabilities and obligations.
On February 4, 2008, immediately after the consummation of the Intelsat Bermuda Transfer, Serafina assigned certain of its assets and liabilities to Intelsat Bermuda, referred to as the Serafina Assignment, including Serafina’s rights and obligations under the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements and a commitment letter it had entered into with certain banks relating to the financing of the New Sponsors Acquisition, referred to as the Financing Commitment Letter. As a result, Intelsat Bermuda is now the obligor under the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements. The terms of the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements are described below under —Liquidity and Capital Resources—Intelsat Bermuda Bridge Loan Credit Agreements.
In connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, both Intelsat Sub Holdco and Intelsat Corp also entered into amendments to their existing senior secured credit facilities, which became effective on February 4, 2008. Intelsat Corp also borrowed $150.0 million under a new incremental term loan under its senior secured credit facilities. These amendments and the new term loan are described below under —Liquidity and Capital Resources—Secured Credit Agreement Amendments.
In connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, on February 7, 2008, Intelsat Jackson redeemed pursuant to their terms all $260.0 million of its outstanding Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013 and all $600.0 million of its outstanding Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2015, and on March 6, 2008, Intelsat, Ltd. redeemed pursuant to their terms all $400.0 million of its outstanding 5 1/4% Senior Notes due 2008. We refer to the New Sponsors Acquisition and all of the transactions described above collectively as the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions.
The consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition resulted in a change of control under the indentures governing certain of our outstanding series of notes, giving the holders of those notes the right to require us to repurchase those notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase. Additionally, the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition resulted in a change of control under Intelsat Jackson’s $1.0 billion Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement dated as of February 2, 2007, referred to as the Intelsat Jackson Unsecured Credit Agreement, giving the holders of the term loans outstanding thereunder the right to require the repayment of the term loans at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date of repayment.
57
On March 5, 2008, Intelsat Sub Holdco offered to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 8 1/4% Senior Notes due 2013, referred to as the 2013 Sub Holdco Notes, and 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2015, referred to as the 2015 Sub Holdco Notes, in each case at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase. On May 2, 2008, Intelsat Sub Holdco completed the repurchase of $874.6 million principal amount of its outstanding 2013 Sub Holdco Notes and $674.3 million principal amount of its outstanding 2015 Sub Holdco Notes. Intelsat Sub Holdco financed the repurchase of the 2013 Sub Holdco Notes and 2015 Sub Holdco Notes through borrowings under an $883.3 million term loan due 2013 pursuant to a new 8 1/2% Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, referred to as the 2013 Unsecured Credit Agreement, and a $681.0 million term loan due 2015 pursuant to a new 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, referred to as the 2015 Unsecured Credit Agreement, respectively.
Also on March 5, 2008, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelsat Corp, offered to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 9% Senior Notes due 2014, referred to as the 2014 Corp Notes, and 9% Senior Notes due 2016, referred to as the 2016 Corp Notes, in each case at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase. On May 2, 2008, Intelsat Corp completed the repurchase of $651.6 million principal amount of its outstanding 2014 Corp Notes and $575.0 million principal amount of its outstanding 2016 Corp Notes. Intelsat Corp financed the repurchase of the 2014 Corp Notes and the 2016 Corp Notes through borrowings under a $658.1 million term loan due 2014 pursuant to a new 9 1/4% Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, referred to as the 2014 Unsecured Credit Agreement, and a $580.7 million term loan due 2016 pursuant to a new 9 1/4% Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, referred to as the 2016 Unsecured Credit Agreement, respectively.
On April 4, 2008, Intermediate Holdco offered to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 9 1/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2015, referred to as the 2015 Discount Notes, at a purchase price of 101% of the accreted value of the notes as of June 3, 2008. The offer to purchase the 2015 Discount Notes, referred to as the Intermediate Holdco Change of Control Offer, expires on May 29, 2008 and all 2015 Discount Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn will be repurchased on June 3, 2008. In addition, on May 2, 2008, Intelsat Jackson offered to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 9 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016, referred to as the Jackson Guaranteed Notes, and 11 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016, referred to as the Jackson Non-Guaranteed Notes, in each case at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase. This change of control offer expires on June 26, 2008 and all Jackson Guaranteed Notes and Jackson Non-Guaranteed Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn will be repurchased on July 1, 2008. Intelsat Jackson also offered to repay any and all of the outstanding loans under the Intelsat Jackson Unsecured Credit Agreement at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repayment. This change of control offer expires on June 30, 2008 and all loans for which a lender elects prepayment will be repaid on July 1, 2008. The offer to purchase the Jackson Guaranteed Notes and the Jackson Non-Guaranteed Notes and the offer to repay the outstanding loans under the Intelsat Jackson Unsecured Credit Agreement are referred to collectively as the Jackson Change of Control Offers. We may engage in open market purchases of any notes or loans that may be subject to a Change of Control Offer before or after consummation of any applicable Change of Control Offer.
Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Commitment Letter, as amended, which was assigned to Intelsat Bermuda by Serafina in the Serafina Assignment, the financial institutions party thereto committed to extend credit to finance the Intermediate Holdco Change of Control Offer and the Jackson Change of Control Offers.
In addition, all outstanding restricted performance shares under the Intelsat Holdings 2005 Share Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Share Plan, vested upon consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition. Vesting in share-based compensation arrangements, or SCAs, issued under the 2005 Share Plan doubled if the awardee was still employed on February 4, 2008. The vested SCAs were cancelled in return for cash in an amount equal to the excess of approximately $400 (the per share price of the transaction) over the exercise price of each share covered. Vested restricted shares (including time and performance vesting shares) were purchased at approximately $400 per share. In connection with the vesting and modification of these awards, we recorded
58
compensation expense of $197.2 million during the first quarter of 2008 (See Note 2 – Acquisition). All unvested restricted shares and unvested SCAs were exchanged for an equivalent value of unvested restricted shares and unvested SCAs, respectively, of Intelsat Global at a fair value of $100.00 per share. These share grants continue to be classified as a liability of the Company’s parent due to certain repurchase features in the 2005 Share Plan. In addition, the vesting periods associated with the unvested Intelsat Holdings restricted shares continued. These exchange share grants continue to be subject to the same repurchase feature as discussed above and thus continue to be deemed not granted underSFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. We also incurred significant transaction related expenses in connection with the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions, primarily related to advisory fees and amendments of existing debt.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and the Combined Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
As a result of the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition, the financial results for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 have been separately presented for the “Predecessor Entity” for the period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 and for the “Successor Entity” for the period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008. As a result of the New Sponsors Acquisition, the reported results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily comparable primarily due to higher interest expense resulting from the acquisition financing and higher depreciation and amortization cost principally due to the fair value adjustments to long-lived assets in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future period.
For comparative purposes, we combined the periods from January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008 in our discussion below, as we believe this combination is useful to provide the reader a period-over-period comparison for purposes of understanding our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe this combination of results for the Predecessor Entity and Successor Entity periods facilitates an investor’s understanding of our results of operations for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. This combination is not a U.S. GAAP measure and should not be used in isolation or substituted for the separate Predecessor Entity and Successor Entity results.

Income from Operations
Our income from operations decreased by $294.5 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. This was primarily due to the following:
| • | | a $308.3 million increase in restructuring and transaction costs in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions, consisting primarily of $197.2 million related to the sale or cancellation of restricted shares and SCAs upon the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition, a transaction fee of $60.0 million paid to entities affiliated or associated with the New Sponsors under a new monitoring fee agreement and $55.3 million in professional fees; and |
| • | | a $41.1 million increase in loss on undesignated interest rate swaps; partially offset by |
| • | | a $54.4 million increase in revenue due to strong sales to new customers, new business expansion to existing customers, a strong renewal rate and improved contract terms. |

Revenue for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by $54.4 million, or 11%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. Strong renewals, expansion of existing contracts, new business and improved contract terms contributed to the overall favorable trends. All regions reported revenue increases, with North America, Europe, and Africa and the Middle East showing the strongest gains. In addition to these factors, our revenue increased due to the following:
| • | | Transponder services—an aggregate increase of $40.9 million due primarily to new business, service expansions and improved contract terms from network services customers for network infrastructure applications of $28.5 million; increased revenue from new and existing direct to home and programmer media customers of $7.6 million; and increased revenue from customers of our government services business of $4.9 million. |
| • | | Managed services—an aggregate increase of $15.5 million primarily due to new business, service expansions, and strong contract renewals. Growth in revenues from network services customers of $7.8 million was primarily due to increased sales of network broadband and Internet trunking and private line services. Growth in revenues from media customers of $4.7 million was primarily due to an increase in occasional video services and multiple channel per carrier services. These services are favored by regional television programmers seeking efficient managed distribution platforms for television content being introduced to new markets. Growth in revenue from customers of our government services business of $3.1 million was primarily due to increased demand for our trunking and private line services. |
| • | | Channel—a decrease of $6.2 million primarily due to continued declines year over year from the continued migration of point-to-point satellite traffic to fiber optic cables across transoceanic routes and the optimization of customer networks, a trend which we expect will continue. |
| • | | Mobile satellite services and other—an aggregate increase of $4.3 million primarily due to increased use of mobile satellite services by customers of our government business of $2.6 million, and increased satellite-related and professional services revenue of $1.6 million. |
Operating Expenses
Direct Costs of Revenue (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)
Direct costs of revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 1%, to $80.5 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The small increase was primarily due to:
| • | | an increase of $2.9 million in cost of sales related to increased revenue opportunities; and |
61
| • | | an increase of $1.8 million in office and occupancy due to building modification and maintenance programs; partially offset by |
| • | | a decrease of $1.3 million in staff-related expenses due to lower headcount; and |
| • | | a decrease of $1.1 million in insurance expenses and various other cost reductions. |
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $13.7 million, or 22%, to $48.1 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to:
| • | | a decrease of $3.4 million in staff-related expenses due to lower headcount; |
| • | | a decrease of $5.2 million in bad debt expense due to improved collections; and |
| • | | a decrease of $4.8 million in professional fees due to heightened expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2007 to support our integration activities and other merger and acquisition activities. |
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $12.2 million, or 6%, to $207.8 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to:
| • | | an increase of $9.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense due to the increase in the fair value of our depreciable and amortizable assets upon the closing of the New Sponsors Acquisition; and |
| • | | an increase of $6.7 million in depreciation expense resulting from the placement of our Galaxy 17 and Intelsat 11 satellites into service in the third and fourth quarter of 2007, respectively; partially offset by |
| • | | a decrease of $3.9 million in depreciation expense due to certain satellites becoming fully depreciated in 2007. |
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net consists of the gross interest expense we incur less the amount of interest we capitalize related to capital assets under construction and less interest income earned during the period. Interest expense, net increased by $24.0 million, or 9%, to $304.7 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $280.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense was principally due to the incurrence or assumption of approximately $3.7 billion of net additional indebtedness in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, along with the following:
| • | | an increase of $2.3 million resulting from a decrease in offsetting interest income due to lower interest rates and cash balances; partially offset by |
| • | | a decrease of $1.1 million in interest on capitalized performance incentives; and |
| • | | a $4.2 million decrease resulting from an increase in capitalized interest. |
Additionally, non-cash interest expense of $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased to $24.1 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008, reflecting the amortization of the deferred financing fees incurred as a result of new debt and the amortization and accretion of discounts and premiums recorded as a result of the fair value adjustments to the pre-existing debt. Also included within interest expense was approximately $28.3 million of additional interest accrued under the new Bridge Loan Credit Agreements, to account for the escalation of the applicable margins under the effective interest method.
62
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net was $3.1 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $4.8 million of net expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This $7.9 million change was primarily related to $7.4 million in equity method losses from our investment in the satellite-based broadband services provider, WildBlue Communications, Inc., or WildBlue, during the three months ended March 31, 2007 with no comparable amount during the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. During the second quarter of 2007, cumulative equity method losses exceeded our original investment and, no additional losses from WildBlue have been recognized after that time.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
Our benefit from income taxes was $8.7 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to a provision for income tax of $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The change was principally due to changes in the benefits claimed under the extraterritorial income exclusion. The difference between tax expense reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and tax computed at statutory rates was attributable to the provision for foreign taxes, which were principally U.S. and U.K. taxes, as well as withholding taxes on revenue earned in many of our foreign markets. See Note 11 — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our provision for income taxes.
EBITDA
EBITDA consists of earnings before net interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the fixed satellite services sector, and we present EBITDA to enhance understanding of our operating performance. We use EBITDA as one criterion for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. We believe that EBITDA is an operating performance measure, and not a liquidity measure, that provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. However, EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and our EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net loss, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $226.2 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 reflected an increase of $114.0 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The improved cash flows from operating activities resulted from higher accrued liabilities for interest and improved cash collections of our accounts receivables. The improvements were partially offset by increased prepaid expenses and other assets as well as an overall lower level of net income due to the costs incurred in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $21.3 million to $110.1 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was due to lower capital expenditures associated with satellites under construction.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.3 billion for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $90.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was principally related to payments of $1.3 billion associated with the long-term debt redemptions effected in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions.
Long-Term Debt
We are a highly leveraged company and, in connection with the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition, we have become a significantly more highly leveraged company, which will result in a significant increase in our interest expense in future periods.
Secured Credit Agreement Amendments
On January 25, 2008, Intelsat Sub Holdco, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into Amendment No. 3 to its Credit Agreement, referred to as the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement, which became effective upon the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition and amended and modified the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement to, among other things:

On January 25, 2008, Intelsat Corp, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into Amendment No. 2 to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, referred to as the Intelsat Corp Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which became effective upon the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition and amended and modified the Intelsat Corp Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things:
| (a) | change the applicable margin (i) on ABR loans that are Term Loans to a rate of 1.5% per annum, (ii) on LIBOR loans that are Term Loans to a rate of 2.5% per annum, (iii) on ABR Loans that are revolving credit loans or swing line loans to a rate of between 1.875% and 1.500%, and (iv) on LIBOR loans that are revolving credit loans or swing line loans to a rate of between 2.875% and 2.500%; |
| (b) | reduce the size of the revolving facility by $75.0 million and add a $75.0 million incremental revolving credit facility provision; |
| (c) | split the Tranche B-2 Term Loan into three equal tranches—Tranches B-2-A, Tranche B-2-B, Tranche B-2-C; |
| (d) | add language requiring the payment of a prepayment premium for prepayments of the term loans prior to February 4, 2011 (with respect to the Tranche B-2-A Term Loans) or February 14, 2010 (with respect to the Tranche B-2-B Term Loans); |
| (e) | make certain changes permitting the New Sponsors Acquisition; |
| (f) | add a financial maintenance covenant requiring compliance with a Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Intelsat Corp Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of less than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0; and |
| (g) | appoint Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch as successor administrative agent. |
Intelsat Bermuda Bridge Loan Credit Agreements
On February 4, 2008, in order to partially finance the New Sponsors Acquisition, Serafina borrowed $4.96 billion in aggregate principal amount of term loans under a $2.81 billion Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement and a $2.15 billion PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement. Intelsat Bermuda assumed these Bridge Loan Credit Agreements in the Serafina Assignment. See “—Impact of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions.”
Borrowings under the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements are unsecured and not guaranteed by any other entities. If the loans outstanding under the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements are not repaid within one year after the date of borrowing, the loans will be automatically exchanged for interim loans in the same principal amount maturing nine years after the date of borrowing. After one year, loans outstanding under the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements are also exchangeable for exchange notes, which would be issued by Intelsat Bermuda pursuant to an indenture between Intelsat Bermuda and an indenture trustee.
Borrowings under the Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate in effect from time to time (determined in accordance with the Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 4.5%, which will increase by an additional 50 basis points six months from February 4, 2008 and will increase an additional 50 basis points for each additional consecutive three-month period thereafter up to a maximum interest rate of 11.25% per annum.
65
Borrowings under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate in effect from time to time (determined in accordance with the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 4.75%, which will increase by an additional 50 basis points six months from February 4, 2008 and will increase an additional 50 basis points for each additional consecutive three-month period thereafter up to a maximum interest rate of 11.5% per annum. In addition, for any interest period through February 4, 2013, Intelsat Bermuda may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the loans under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement (a) entirely in cash, (b) entirely in payment-in-kind interest, referred to as PIK Interest, or (c) 50% in cash and 50% as PIK Interest. If so elected by Intelsat Bermuda, the applicable PIK interest rate will be the cash pay interest rate in effect during the interest period plus 100 basis points. In no event will such interest rate exceed 12.5% per annum. Any PIK Interest will be applied to increase the outstanding principal amount of the loans then outstanding under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement.
In February 2008 and May 2008, we elected to pay interest under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement entirely in PIK Interest through August 4, 2008.
Debt Redemptions and Repayments
On January 15, 2008, we repaid at maturity Intelsat Corp’s $150.0 million of 6 3/8% Senior Notes due 2008 using funds borrowed under the revolving credit facility portion of its senior secured credit facilities. The revolver borrowing was subsequently repaid using funds borrowed under a $150.0 million Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loan and cash on hand.
On February 4, 2008, Intelsat Bermuda transferred certain debt obligations to Intelsat Jackson (see – Impact of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions).
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we redeemed $1.26 billion in long-term debt and incurred early redemption premiums of $38.5 million as follows:
| • | | On February 7, 2008, we redeemed Intelsat Jackson’s $260.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013, and incurred an early redemption premium of $18.9 million; |
| • | | On February 7, 2008, we redeemed Intelsat Jackson’s $600.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2015, and incurred an early redemption premium of $12.0 million; and |
| • | | On March 6, 2008, we redeemed Intelsat, Ltd.’s $400.0 million of 5 1/4% Senior Notes due 2008, and incurred an early redemption premium of $7.6 million. |
Backstop Unsecured Credit Agreements
On May 2, 2008, Intelsat Sub Holdco borrowed a $883.3 million senior unsecured term loan due 2013, referred to as the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan, pursuant to the 2013 Unsecured Credit Agreement and a $681.0 million senior unsecured term loan due 2015, referred to as the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan, pursuant to the 2015 Unsecured Credit Agreement. The 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan and the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan are referred to collectively as the 2008 Sub Holdco Term Loans. Intelsat Sub Holdco used the proceeds from the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan and the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of the 2013 Sub Holdco Notes and the 2015 Sub Holdco Notes, respectively, and to pay associated fees and expenses.
The interest rates on the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan and the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan are fixed at 8 1/2% and 8 7/8%, respectively. Interest on the 2008 Sub Holdco Term Loans is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2008. Intelsat Sub Holdco may prepay some or all of the 2013
66
Sub Holdco Term Loan and the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan at any time prior to January 15, 2009 and January 15, 2010, respectively, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the make-whole premium described in the respective credit agreements. Thereafter, Intelsat Sub Holdco may prepay some or all of the 2013 Sub Holdco Term Loan or the 2015 Sub Holdco Term Loan at the applicable prepayment prices set forth in the 2013 Unsecured Credit Agreement and the 2015 Unsecured Credit Agreement, respectively. The 2008 Sub Holdco Term Loans are guaranteed by Intelsat, Ltd., Intelsat Bermuda, Intelsat Jackson, Intermediate Holdco and certain subsidiaries of Intelsat Sub Holdco.
On May 2, 2008, Intelsat Corp borrowed a $658.1 million senior unsecured term loan due 2014, referred to as the 2014 Corp Term Loan, pursuant to the 2014 Unsecured Credit Agreement. Intelsat Corp used the proceeds of the 2014 Corp Term Loan, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of the 2014 Corp Notes and to pay associated fees and expenses. The interest rate on the 2014 Corp Term Loan is fixed at 9 1/4%. Interest on the 2014 Corp Term Loan is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2008. Intelsat Corp may prepay some or all of the 2014 Corp Term Loan at any time prior to August 15, 2009, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the make-whole premium described in the 2014 Unsecured Credit Agreement. Thereafter, Intelsat Corp may prepay some or all of the 2014 Corp Term Loan at the applicable prepayment prices set forth in the 2014 Unsecured Credit Agreement. The 2014 Corp Term Loan is guaranteed by certain U.S. subsidiaries of Intelsat Corp.
On May 2, 2008, Intelsat Corp also borrowed a $580.7 million senior unsecured term loan due 2016, referred to as the 2016 Corp Term Loan, pursuant to the 2016 Unsecured Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan is fixed at 9 1/4%. Intelsat Corp used the proceeds of the 2016 Corp Term Loan, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of the 2016 Corp Notes and to pay associated fees and expenses.

Thereafter, Intelsat Corp may prepay some or all of the 2016 Corp Term Loan at the applicable prepayment prices set forth in the 2016 Unsecured Credit Agreement. In addition, until June 15, 2009, Intelsat Corp may redeem up to 35% of the 2016 Corp Term Loan with the proceeds of certain equity offerings and capital contributions. The 2016 Corp Term Loan is guaranteed by certain U.S. subsidiaries of Intelsat Corp.
Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to EBITDA which is calculated as set forth in —Results of Operations, we calculate a measure called Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA, based on the term Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement establishing Intelsat Sub Holdco’s senior secured credit facilities. Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA as adjusted to exclude or include certain unusual items, certain other operating expense items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement as described in the table and related footnotes below. Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA as presented below is calculated only with respect to Intelsat Sub Holdco and its subsidiaries. Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of certain ratios used in the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement, such as the secured debt leverage ratio and the total leverage ratio.
Under the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement, Intelsat Sub Holdco must maintain a pro forma secured net debt leverage ratio not greater than 1.50 to 1.00, at the end of each fiscal quarter, and generally may not incur additional indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions) if the total leverage ratio calculated on a pro forma basis at the time of incurrence would exceed 4.75 to 1.00. In addition, under the investments and dividends covenants contained in the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement, the ability of Intelsat Sub Holdco to make investments and pay dividends is restricted by formulas based on the amount of Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA measured from April 1, 2006.
67
In addition to EBITDA and Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA, we also calculate a measure called Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA, based on the term Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the indentures governing the Jackson Guaranteed Notes and the Jackson Non-Guaranteed Notes, collectively referred to as the 2006 Notes. Historically, we referred to this measure as Intelsat Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA. In connection with the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition on February 4, 2008, certain assets and liabilities of Intelsat Bermuda, including the 2006 Notes, were transferred to Intelsat Jackson pursuant to the Intelsat Bermuda Transfer. As a result of the Intelsat Bermuda Transfer, Intelsat Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA will be referred to as Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA in this filing and our future filings. The 2006 Notes were the obligations of Intelsat Jackson at March 31, 2008.
Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA as adjusted to exclude or include certain unusual items, certain other operating expense items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indentures of Intelsat Jackson as described in the table and related footnotes below. Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA as presented below is calculated only with respect to Intelsat Jackson and its subsidiaries. Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of certain ratios used in the indentures governing the 2006 Notes, such as the debt to Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA ratio and the secured indebtedness leverage ratio.
Under Intelsat Jackson’s indentures, Intelsat Jackson generally may not incur additional indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions) if the debt to Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA ratio calculated on a pro forma basis at the time of such incurrence would exceed 6.75 to 1.00 and Intelsat Jackson cannot incur certain liens to secure indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions) if the secured indebtedness leverage ratio, after giving effect to the incurrence, exceeds 2.50 to 1.00. In addition, under these indentures, satisfaction of a 5.50 to 1.00 debt to Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA ratio is generally (subject to certain exceptions) a condition to the making of restricted payments by Intelsat Jackson. Furthermore, under the restricted payments covenants contained in these indentures (subject to certain exceptions), the ability of Intelsat Jackson to make restricted payments (including the making of investments and the payment of dividends), is restricted by a formula based on the amount of Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA measured from January 1, 2005 and calculated without making pro forma adjustments.
We believe that the inclusion of Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation of certain covenants in the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 2006 Notes as mentioned above. We believe that some investors may use Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our liquidity and financial condition. Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and our Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA as alternatives to operating income or net loss, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as indicators of cash flows, or as measures of liquidity.

Intelsat Jackson Adjusted EBITDA was $390.1 million and $456.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the combined three months ended March 31, 2008, respectively. Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA was $229.0 million and $278.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the combined three months ended March 31, 2008, respectively. A reconciliation of net cash provided by Intelsat, Ltd. operating activities to Intelsat, Ltd. net loss, Intelsat, Ltd. net loss to Intelsat, Ltd. EBITDA, Intelsat, Ltd.

Funding Sources and Uses
We are a highly leveraged company and have incurred significant additional debt in 2008, which has resulted in a large increase in our obligations related to debt service, including increased interest expense. In the next twelve months, other than the impact of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions, including required payments under the Intermediate Holdco Change of Control Offer and the Jackson Change of Control Offers described above, we expect our most significant cash outlays to be for debt service requirements on our outstanding debt and capital expenditures, as described below in—Capital Expenditures. We intend to fund these payment requirements through cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities.
As of March 31, 2008, we had outstanding letters of credit of $12.1 million and the revolving credit facility was undrawn. Under the terms of the credit agreements governing both Intelsat Sub Holdco’s senior secured credit facilities and Intelsat Corp’s amended and restated senior secured credit facilities, the ability of each company to borrow under its respective revolving credit facility is subject to compliance by each company’s indirect parent, Intelsat, Ltd., under a senior secured debt covenant included in the indenture governing Intelsat,
70
Ltd.’s outstanding senior notes. As a result, under certain circumstances, Intelsat Sub Holdco may not be able to borrow up to the full amount of borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility if Intelsat Corp has certain amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility, and Intelsat Corp may not be able to borrow up to the full amount of borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility if Intelsat Sub Holdco has certain amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The availability under Intelsat Sub Holdco’s and Intelsat Corp’s revolving credit facilities was $240.0 million and $172.9 million, respectively, subject to the aggregate availability restriction.
Contracted Backlog
We have historically had and currently have a substantial backlog, which provides some assurance regarding our future revenue expectations. Backlog is our expected future revenue under customer contracts, and includes both cancelable and non-cancelable contracts, although 97% of our backlog related to contracts that either were non-cancelable or had substantial termination penalties. Our backlog was approximately $8.2 billion and $8.3 billion as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, respectively. This backlog reduces the volatility of our net cash provided by operating activities more than would be typical for a company outside our industry.
Satellite Construction and Launch Obligations
As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $246.9 million of expenditures remaining under existing satellite construction contracts and satellite launch contracts. Satellite launch and in-orbit insurance contracts related to future satellites to be launched are cancelable up to thirty days prior to the satellite’s launch. As of March 31, 2008, we did not have any non-cancelable commitments related to existing launch insurance or in-orbit insurance contracts for satellites to be launched.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures depend on our business strategies and reflect our commercial responses to opportunities and trends in our industry. Our actual capital expenditures may differ from our expected capital expenditures if, among other things, we enter into any currently unplanned strategic transactions. Levels of capital spending from one year to the next are also influenced by the nature of the satellite life cycle and by the capital-intensive nature of the satellite industry. For example, we incur significant capital expenditures during the years in which satellites are under construction. We typically procure a new satellite within a timeframe that would allow the satellite to be deployed at least one year prior to the end of the service life of the satellite to be replaced. As a result, we frequently experience significant variances in our capital expenditures from year to year.
Payments for satellites and other property and equipment during the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 were $106.5 million. Payments for satellites and other property and equipment exclude funds paid for deposits on future satellites and launches that are included as a part of other assets and capitalized as construction progresses.
We currently plan to launch two satellites in 2008 and have three additional satellites on order with launches planned in 2009. We expect our 2008 total capital expenditures to range from approximately $460 million to $500 million. We intend to fund our capital expenditure requirements through cash on hand, cash provided from operating activities and, if necessary, borrowings under the revolving facilities of our senior secured credit facilities.
Disclosures about Market Risk
We are primarily exposed to the market risk associated with unfavorable movements in interest rates and foreign currencies. The risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in those factors.
71
Interest Rate Risk
The satellite communications industry is a capital intensive, technology driven business. We are subject to interest rate risk primarily associated with our borrowings. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates could adversely affect earnings and cash flows. Specific interest rate risks include: the risk of increasing interest rates on short-term debt; the risk of increasing interest rates for planned new fixed rate long-term financings; and the risk of increasing interest rates for planned refinancings using long-term fixed rate debt.
Approximately 44%, or $6.7 billion, of our debt as of March 31, 2008 was fixed-rate debt, excluding interest rate swaps. While changes in interest rates impact the fair value of this debt, there is no impact to earnings or cash flows because we intend to hold these obligations to maturity unless market and other conditions are favorable.
As of March 31, 2008, we held interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion with maturities ranging from 2010 to 2013. These swaps were entered into to economically hedge the variability in cash flow on a portion of the floating-rate term loans under our senior secured and unsecured credit facilities. On a quarterly basis, we receive a floating rate of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of interest. On March 31, 2008, the rate we would pay averaged 3.8% and the rate we would receive averaged 2.9%.
In addition, certain of these swaps contain options covering a notional amount of $717.0 million that would effectively permit us to terminate the underlying swaps on March 14, 2011, prior to the stated maturity of March 14, 2013. If we exercise the options, the cash flows (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) for the underlying swap and those from the options are expected to offset one another.
These interest rate swaps and options have not been designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted, and the changes in fair value of these instruments will be recognized in earnings during the period of change. Assuming a one percentage point decrease in the prevailing forward yield curve, the fair value of the interest rate swap liability would increase to approximately $183.0 million and the fair value of the options would increase to approximately $13.6 million.
We perform interest rate sensitivity analyses on our variable rate debt, including interest rate swaps, and cash and cash equivalents. These analyses indicate that a one percentage point change in interest rates would have an annual pre-tax impact of $50.8 million on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows as of March 31, 2008. While our variable-rate debt may impact earnings and cash flows as interest rates change, it is not subject to changes in fair values.
Foreign Currency Risk
We do not currently use foreign currency derivatives to hedge our foreign currency exposures. Substantially all of our customer contracts, capital expenditure contracts and operating expense obligations are denominated in U.S. dollars. Consequently, we are not exposed to material foreign currency exchange risk. However, the service contracts with our Brazilian customers provide for payment in Brazilianreais. Accordingly, we are subject to the risk of a reduction in the value of the Brazilianreal as compared to the U.S. dollar in connection with payments made by Brazilian customers, and our exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate for Brazilianreais is ongoing. However, the rates payable under our service contracts with Brazilian customers are adjusted annually to account for inflation in Brazil, thereby mitigating the risk. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the combined three months ended March 31, 2008, our Brazilian customers represented approximately 3% and 2% of our revenue, respectively. Transactions in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using rates in effect on the dates of the transactions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
On August 1, 2005, Intelsat Corp formed its second satellite joint investment with JSAT International, or JSAT, a leading satellite operator in the Asia-Pacific region, to build and launch a Ku-band satellite to operate at 74.05º West Longitude. The joint investment is named Horizons-2. The Horizons-2 satellite entered service in February 2008. The satellite will support digital video, high definition television and IP-based content distribution networks to broadband Internet and satellite news gathering services in the United States. The total future joint investment is expected to be approximately $193.1 million, and both we and JSAT were required to begin funding our 50% share in March 2008. In connection with our investment in Horizons-2, in August 2005, Intelsat Corp entered into a capital contribution and subscription agreement, which requires us to fund our 50% share of the amounts due under Horizons-2’s loan agreement with a third-party lender. Pursuant to this agreement, we made a contribution of $3.6 million in March 2008. Our contribution obligation arises from our estimated future obligation to fund amounts due under Horizons-2’s loan agreement with a third-party lender. We have entered into a security and pledge agreement with the lender and pursuant to this agreement, granted a security interest in our contribution obligation to the lender. Therefore we have recorded a liability of $76.9 million within our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 for the remaining obligation as an indirect guarantee in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 45 (as amended),Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Indebtedness of Others. Our portion of the investment is being accounted for using the equity method.
We do not have any other significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements by defining fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value and expanding disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement 157,which deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Examples of nonfinancial assets and liabilities to which the deferral would apply for us include (i) those acquired in a business combination and (ii) goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment testing. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans(“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize in their balance sheets the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Previously unrecognized items under SFAS No. 87,Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,and SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, will now be recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income tax effects. In addition, the measurement date (the date at which plan assets and the benefit obligation are measured) is required to be our fiscal year end. As described in Note 4 – Retirement Plans and Other Retiree Benefits to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS 158 effective December 31, 2007, and adopted the measurement date provisions during the first quarter of 2008.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). This statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been
73
elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 became effective for us beginning on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2008 did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements since we have not elected to apply the fair value option to any of our eligible financial instruments.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption prohibited. We will adopt SFAS 141R upon its effective date as appropriate for any future business combinations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively except for its presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests, which require retroactive application. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 160, and the impact, if any, on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for the first quarter 2009.

Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and timely reported as provided in SEC rules and forms. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We periodically review the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures worldwide, including compliance with various laws and regulations that apply to our operations. We make modifications to improve the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, and may take other corrective action, if our reviews identify a need for such modifications or actions. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
74
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2008.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the third quarter of 2007, we began the implementation of a new financial consolidation system which was fully integrated into our financial reporting process during the first quarter of 2008. The new financial consolidation system has improved efficiency in the financial reporting process. We have reviewed the system as it was implemented and the controls affected by the implementation of the new system, and have made appropriate changes to the affected internal controls.
Other than as discussed above, no changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
75
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
We are subject to litigation in the normal course of business, but management does not believe that the resolution of any pending proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
No material changes in the risks related to our business have occurred since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
