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.

2
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 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, 2008, 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.
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; |
| • | | potential changes in the number of companies offering commercial satellite launch services and the number of commercial satellite launch opportunities available in any given time period that could impact our ability to timely schedule future launches and the prices we have to pay for such launches; |
| • | | 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 |
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.

INTELSAT, LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2009
Note 1 General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Intelsat, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Intelsat,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) 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, 2008 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Intelsat is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intelsat Holdings, Ltd. (“Intelsat Holdings”).
On February 4, 2008, Serafina Acquisition Limited (“Serafina”) completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity ownership of 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 (“Serafina Holdings”), the direct parent of Serafina. Serafina Holdings is an entity newly formed by funds controlled by BC Partners Holdings Limited (“BC Partners”) and certain other investors (collectively, the “BCEC Funds”). Subsequent to the execution of the BC Share Purchase Agreement, two investment funds controlled by Silver Lake Partners (“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. Upon closing, management contributed to Serafina Holdings the portion of their equity interests in Intelsat Holdings not purchased for cash by Serafina in exchange for equity interests in Serafina Holdings (which was renamed Intelsat Global, Ltd. (“Intelsat Global”) on February 8, 2008).
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, we have accounted for the New Sponsors Acquisition as if it had occurred on February 1, 2008, except for acquisition transaction costs, which are recorded within the predecessor period of January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements for the period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 represent the “predecessor” entity. The period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009 represent the “successor” entity. As a result of the application of purchase accounting, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the predecessor entity are not comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements of the successor entity, because they are, in effect, those of a new entity.
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 these 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 our undesignated interest rate swaps, the put option embedded derivative, the redeemable noncontrolling interest, income taxes, useful lives of satellites, intangible assets and other property and equipment, the recoverability of goodwill and the fair value of non-amortizable 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly(“FSP No. FAS 157-4”). FSP No. FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS No. 157”), when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased, there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what SFAS No. 157 states as the objective of fair value measurement which is to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction, as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, FSP No. FAS 157-4 reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. Additionally, FSP No. FAS 157-4 requires enhanced disclosures. FSP No. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. FAS 157-4 and the impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments(“FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires issuers to disclose on a quarterly basis qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all financial instruments not measured or reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. Previously, the disclosure requirement was limited to an annual basis. FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We plan to adopt FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 and provide the additional disclosure requirements during the second quarter of 2009.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1,Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets(“FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1”). FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 provides additional disclosure requirements for the plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 requires employers of public and nonpublic entities to disclose additional information detailing how investment allocation decisions are made, the major categories of plan assets including concentration of risk and fair-value measurements, and the fair value techniques used to measure the plan assets. The disclosure requirements are effective for years ending after December 15, 2009. We plan to adopt FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 and provide the additional disclosure requirements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Note 2 Fair Value Measurements
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not require any new fair value measurements.
The fair value hierarchy established in SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:
| • | | 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 following table presents assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheet on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, such items are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, such as if there is evidence of impairment. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our rights to operate at orbital locations were written down to their estimated fair value of $2.4 billion from their aggregate carrying value of $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2008, which was determined using unobservable inputs (see Note 7—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets).
Note 3 Share-Based and Other Compensation Plans
(a) 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. 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. Of the shares awarded under the 2005 Share Plan, a portion were time vesting shares, with 7/60 of such shares vesting on August 1, 2005 and the remainder vesting in fifty-three equal monthly installments of 1/60 of the shares per month beginning September 1, 2005. A portion of the shares awarded were performance shares that vest upon the meeting of certain performance criteria. 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 of these awards upon the consummation of the acquisition, we recorded compensation expense of $148.9 million in the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008. In connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, each unvested restricted share of Intelsat Holdings was exchanged for approximately four unvested restricted shares of Intelsat Global (“exchange shares”) and the exchange shares continued to be classified as a liability of Intelsat Global due to certain repurchase features in the 2005 Share Plan. In addition, the original vesting periods associated with the unvested Intelsat Holdings restricted shares continued. We recognized $2.2 million and $0.5 million as compensation expense for these restricted share grants during the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.

A summary of the changes in Intelsat Global’s non-vested restricted shares during the three months ended March 31, 2009 is set forth below:
| | | | | | |
| | Number of Shares | | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Restricted shares: | | | | | | |
Non-vested restricted shares outstanding as of January 1, 2009 | | 159,019 | | | $ | 0.54 |
Restricted shares forfeited and repurchased at par value | | (12,178 | ) | | $ | 0.54 |
Vested | | (34,667 | ) | | $ | 0.54 |
| | | | | | |
Total non-vested restricted shares at March 31, 2009 | | 112,174 | | | $ | 0.54 |
| | | | | | |
The non-vested restricted shares had a remaining weighted average vesting period of 10 months.
(b) Share-Based Compensation Arrangements Under the 2005 Share Plan
During 2006 and 2007, Intelsat Holdings entered into share-based compensation arrangements (“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 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 Intelsat Holdings 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. 123(R),Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). 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 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 covered. In connection with the vesting and cancellation of these awards, we recorded expense of $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 Intelsat Global, but as of March 31, 2009 continued to be subject to certain repurchase features and thus continued to be deemed not granted under SFAS No. 123(R).

Note 4 Retirement Plans and Other Retiree Benefits
(a) Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
We maintain 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. In addition, as part of the overall medical plan, we provide postretirement medical benefits to certain current retirees, as well as to employees hired prior to January 1, 2004 who meet certain criteria.
Concurrent with our privatization in 2001, the defined benefit retirement plan became subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. We expect that our 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.
Recent market conditions have resulted in an unusually high degree of volatility and increased risks related to the short-term liquidity of certain investments held by our defined benefit retirement plan, which could impact the value of the plan assets after the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, any significant decline in the fair value of our defined benefit retirement plan assets could affect its funded status. The impact on the funded status as of October 1, the plan’s annual measurement date, will be determined based upon market conditions in effect when we complete our annual valuation. Based on these criteria, we were not required to make additional contributions in 2008 to the defined benefit retirement plan, and we currently expect that we will not be required to make any additional contributions during 2009. However, as a result of the recent decline in value of our defined benefit retirement plan assets, we currently anticipate significant funding in future years.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2009 are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost: unrecognized prior service credits of $1.6 million ($1.0 million, net of tax) and unrecognized actuarial losses of $108.6 million ($68.8 million, net of tax).

(b) Other Retirement Plans
We maintain two defined contribution retirement plans, qualified under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for our 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. We match 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, we provide 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. We recognized compensation expense for these plans of $0.5 million, $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008, the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008, and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. We also maintain other defined contribution retirement plans in several non-U.S. jurisdictions, but such plans are not material to our financial position or results of operations.

March 31, 2009
Satellites and other property and equipment, net as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 included construction-in-progress of $538.5 million and $656.2 million, respectively. These amounts relate primarily to satellites under construction and related launch services. Interest costs of $4.7 million, $11.2 million and $13.5 million were capitalized in the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008, the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.
We have 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 our option, 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, we may exercise our right to obtain a replacement launch within a specified period following our request for re-launch.
Note 6 Investments
(a) WildBlue Communications, Inc.
We have an ownership interest of approximately 25% in WildBlue Communications, Inc. (“WildBlue”), a company offering broadband Internet access services in the continental United States via Ka-band satellite capacity. We account for our investment using the equity method of accounting. Because of a history of operating and on-going losses at WildBlue, the investment was determined to have a new basis of zero in connection with the allocation of the purchase price from the New Sponsors Acquisition at February 1, 2008. As of March 31, 2008 and 2009, our cumulative losses exceeded the investment, and as a result, the investment balance remained at zero and no additional losses from WildBlue were recognized.
(b) Horizons-1 and Horizons-2
As a result of our acquisition of PanAmSat Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries (“PanAmSat”) on July 3, 2006 and related transactions (the “PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions”), we have a joint venture with JSAT International, Inc. (“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. We provide certain services to the joint venture and utilize capacity from the joint venture.
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. We have a 50% ownership interest in Horizons-1, an investment which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our share of the results of Horizons-1 is included in other income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and was $0.02 million, $0.03 million and $0.04 million for the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008, the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The investment balance of $15.7 million and $14.9 million as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively, was included within other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008, the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded expenses of $0.3 million, $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in relation to the utilization of Ku-band satellite capacity from Horizons-1. Additionally, we provide tracking, telemetry and control (“TT&C”) and administrative services for the Horizons-1 satellite. We recorded revenue for these services of $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008, the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.

We also have a revenue share agreement with JSAT related to services sold on the Horizons-1 satellite. We are responsible for the billing and collecting for all such services sold, but recognize revenue on a net basis. As a result of this agreement, we reduced revenue by $1.1 million, $2.3 million and $3.8 million for the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008, the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The payable due to JSAT was $2.0 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively.
On August 1, 2005, Intelsat Corporation (“Intelsat Corp”), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, formed a second satellite joint investment with JSAT to build and launch a Ku-band satellite (“Horizons–2”). The Horizons-2 satellite was launched in December 2007 and placed into service in February 2008. Our investment is being accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The total future joint investment in Horizons-2 is expected to be $160.8 million as of March 31, 2009, of which each of the joint venture partners is required to fund their 50% share. Our share of the results of Horizons-2 is included in other income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and was income of $0.06 million and $0.09 million for the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, the investment balance of $79.2 million and $79.0 million, respectively, was included within other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with our investment in Horizons-2, we entered into a capital contribution and subscription agreement in August 2005, 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 contributions of $6.1 million in March 2008 and March 2009. We have entered into a security and pledge agreement with a third-party lender and, pursuant to this agreement, granted a security interest in our contribution obligation to the lender. Therefore, we have recorded this obligation as an indirect guarantee in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 (as amended),Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. We have recorded a liability of $12.2 million within accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, and a liability of $61.0 million and $54.9 million within other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We provide TT&C and administrative services for the Horizons-2 satellite. We did not receive any revenue for these services during the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008. We recorded revenue for these services of $0.2 million during the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009. During the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded expenses of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in relation to the utilization of satellite capacity for the Horizons-2 satellite.
We also have a revenue share agreement with JSAT related to services sold on the Horizons-2 satellite. We are responsible for the billing and collecting for all such services sold, but recognize revenue on a net basis. As a result of this agreement, we reduced revenue by $0.8 million and $2.1 million for the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The amount payable to JSAT was $2.2 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

(“New Dawn”), a Mauritius company in which we have a 74.9% indirect ownership interest and Convergence Partners has a 25.1% noncontrolling ownership interest, intends to procure and launch a new satellite to provide satellite transponder services to customers in Africa. We currently expect the satellite to be launched during the fourth quarter of 2010.
New Dawn entered into a secured loan financing arrangement, which is non-recourse to New Dawn’s shareholders, including us and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, beyond the shareholders’ scheduled capital contributions, on December 5, 2008 to obtain $215.0 million of financing to fund a portion of the cost of construction and launch of the new satellite (see Note 8—Long-Term Debt). In addition, we and Convergence Partners have agreed to make certain capital contributions to New Dawn in proportion to our respective ownership interests in New Dawn to fund a portion of these costs. Out of the total equity contributions of $18.3 million in 2008, our initial capital contributions were $13.7 million and Convergence Partners’ contributions were $4.6 million. New Dawn and its subsidiaries are unrestricted subsidiaries for purposes of applicable indentures and credit agreements of Intelsat and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
We have agreed to provide sales and marketing services, engineering and administrative support services, and to perform satellite-related consulting and technical services for New Dawn. The services include the provision of program management services with respect to the satellite and launch vehicle construction programs as well as TT&C services for the new satellite. In addition, for a fee of $15.0 million together with assumption of continuing payment obligations, we assigned New Dawn a launch service contract to provide for the launch of the Intelsat New Dawn satellite.
New Dawn is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”). Convergence Partners has at its option the ability to require Intelsat to buy its ownership interest at fair value subsequent to the operations of New Dawn’s assets for a period as defined in the New Dawn Project Agreement. As a result of this option, and in accordance with EITF Topic No. D-98,Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, we have reflected the estimated amounts that we would pay to Convergence Partners as if the option was exercised within mezzanine equity. We have assessed the significance of the Level 3 inputs to the overall valuation and have concluded that the valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
As of March 31, 2009, we consolidated New Dawn within our condensed consolidated financial statements, net of appropriate eliminating entries. Additionally, we accounted for the percentage interest in New Dawn owned by Convergence Partners as a noncontrolling interest. We implemented SFAS No. 160 during the first quarter of 2009, which resulted in our reclassifying the noncontrolling interest balance to mezzanine equity.

We determine the estimated fair value of our rights to operate at orbital locations using the build up method as described below, to determine the cash flows for the income approach, with the resulting projected cash flows discounted at an appropriate weighted average cost of capital. In instances where the build up method did not generate positive value for the right to operate at an orbital location, but the right was expected to generate revenue, we assigned a value based upon independent source data for recent transactions of similar orbital locations.
Under the build up method, the amount an investor would be willing to pay for the right to operate a satellite business at an orbital location is calculated by first estimating the cash flows that typical market participants would assume could be available from the right to operate satellites using the orbital location in a similar market. It is assumed that rather than acquiring such a business as a going concern, the buyer would hypothetically start with the right to operate at an orbital location and build a new operation with similar attributes. Thus the buyer or builder is considered to incur the start-up costs and losses typically associated with the going concern value and pay for all other tangible and intangible assets.
We account for goodwill and other non-amortizable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and have deemed these assets to have indefinite lives. Therefore, these assets are not amortized but are tested on an annual basis for impairment during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. During the first quarter of 2009, the credit markets continued to experience difficulties, with new debt issuances being priced at significantly higher effective interest rates as compared to the pricing of debt issuances completed in prior periods. The higher effective interest rates reflected, in our view, higher discounts being applied in the valuation of companies generally, and were therefore considered by us to be an indicator of potential impairment to the fair value of our right to operate at orbital locations. The higher interest rates resulted in an increase to our weighted average cost of capital, and led to our recognizing a non-cash impairment charge of $499.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
The carrying amount and accumulated amortization of acquired intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following (in thousands):

Recent Financing Activities
On February 12, 2009, our indirect subsidiary, Intelsat Subsidiary Holding Company, Ltd. (“Intelsat Sub Holdco”), purchased $114.2 million of Intelsat, Ltd.’s outstanding 7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2012 for $93.3 million and $346.5 million of Intelsat, Ltd.’s outstanding 6 1/2% Senior Notes due 2013 for $254.6 million pursuant to a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”). On February 12, 2009, Intelsat Sub Holdco completed an offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2015, Series B (the

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)—(Continued)
March 31, 2009
“2009 Senior Notes”), which yielded approximately $348.3 million of net proceeds at issuance (the “2009 Sub Holdco Notes Offering”). The net proceeds of the 2009 Sub Holdco Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, were used to fund the Tender Offer, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The 2009 Senior Notes have terms substantially similar to Intelsat Sub Holdco’s outstanding 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2015 issued in June 2008.
A loss on early extinguishment of debt was recognized in connection with the Tender Offer. The loss was primarily driven by the difference between the carrying value of the Intelsat, Ltd. notes purchased and the cash paid for the purchase. The value of the Intelsat, Ltd. notes had been adjusted to fair value in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition as of February 4, 2008.
At the date of issuance of the 2009 Senior Notes, we determined that these debt instruments contained a contingent put option clause within the host contract, which affords the holders of the notes the option to require the issuer to repurchase such notes at 101% of their principal amount in the event of a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the notes. In our evaluation of the financing arrangement, we concluded that the contingent put option required bifurcation in accordance with current accounting standards, including SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS No. 133”). We were therefore required to bifurcate the contingent put option and carry it as a derivative liability at fair value. We estimated the fair value of the derivative on the date of inception using a standard valuation technique, which places the most significant emphasis upon the estimated date and probability of a change of control and incorporates the issue price, maturity date and change of control put price. The fair value of the embedded derivative was calculated at $36.0 million upon inception. The allocation of a portion of the proceeds from the debt issuance to the fair value of the embedded derivative resulted in an additional discount to the carrying value of the 2009 Senior Notes. The additional discount will be amortized in the consolidated statements of operations using the effective interest method over the term of the 2009 Senior Notes. Additionally, the embedded derivative will be adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period with any change in fair value recognized through earnings.
New Dawn Credit Facilities
On December 5, 2008, New Dawn entered into a $215.0 million secured financing arrangement that consists of a senior and mezzanine term loan facilities. The credit facilities are non-recourse to New Dawn’s shareholders, including us and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, beyond the shareholders’ scheduled capital contributions. Up to $25.0 million of the facilities is subject to cancellation if additional funding commitments are not secured by the original lenders by a specified date. The senior facility provides for a commitment of up to $125.0 million. The interest rate on term loans under the senior facility is the aggregate of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin between 3.0% and 4.0%. The mezzanine facility provides for a commitment of up to $90.0 million. The interest rate on term loans under the mezzanine facility is the aggregate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin between 5.3% and 6.3%. New Dawn is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate per annum of 0.5% on any unused commitments under the credit facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, New Dawn incurred satellite related capital expenditures of $16.0 million and had aggregate outstanding borrowings of $28.8 million under the credit facilities.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facilities
No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2009; however, we had aggregate outstanding letters of credit of $9.0 million under the revolver portion of Intelsat Sub Holdco’s senior secured credit facilities and $2.1 million under the revolver portion of Intelsat Corp’s senior secured credit facilities. Intelsat Sub Holdco and Intelsat Corp had $209.9 million (net of standby letters of credit) and $152.2

million (net of standby letters of credit), respectively, of availability remaining under their senior secured credit facilities at that date, assuming that the one of the lenders, representing approximately 12% of the lender commitments under each of Intelsat Sub Holdco’s and Intelsat Corp’s revolving credit facilities, equivalent to approximately $31.1 million and $20.8 million of the availability as of March 31, 2009, respectively, would not provide any funds in response to a borrowing request. 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., with a senior secured debt covenant included in the indenture governing Intelsat, 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.
Note 9 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Swaps
As of March 31, 2009, 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 as described below 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, but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. On a quarterly basis, we receive a floating rate of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of interest.
In February 2008, we 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 $2.35 billion expected to mature on March 14, 2013. 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.
Our indirect subsidiary, Intelsat Corp, entered into a five-year interest rate swap on March 14, 2005 to hedge interest expense on a notional amount of $1.25 billion of debt. 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, our exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each quarterly settlement period over the life of the agreement. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.
All of these interest rate swaps were undesignated as of March 31, 2009. The swaps have been marked-to-market with any change in fair value recorded within loss on undesignated interest rate swaps in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, $2.4 million and $3.1 million was included in other current liabilities, respectively, and $156.7 million and $150.2 million was included in other long-term liabilities, respectively, within our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the interest rate swaps.

Put Option Embedded Derivative Instrument
As discussed in Note 8—Long-Term Debt, following an evaluation of the 2009 Sub Holdco Notes Offering, we concluded that the contingent put option embedded within the indenture governing the 2009 Senior Notes meets the criteria under SFAS No. 133 to be bifurcated from the debt host instrument and classified as a derivative instrument. We estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative on the issuance date and will subsequently revalue the derivative at the end of each reporting period, recognizing any change in fair value through earnings. We used a standard valuation technique whereby the critical assumptions and underlyings include the debt maturity date, issue price, coupon rate, change of control put price, and the estimated date of a change in control.
The following tabular presentation sets forth the fair value of our derivatives by category as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

Note 10 Income Taxes
Because Bermuda does not currently impose an income tax, our 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 in which we operate.

March 31, 2009
We operate in various taxable jurisdictions throughout the world and our tax returns are subject to audit and review from time to time. We consider the United Kingdom and United States to be our significant tax jurisdictions. Our U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and local income tax examination for periods after July 18, 2001.
As of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, our gross unrecognized tax benefits were $86.8 million and $88.7 million, respectively (including interest and penalties), of which $65.4 million and $66.7 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2009, we had recorded reserves for interest and penalties in the amount of $5.7 million. We continue to recognize interest and, to the extent applicable, penalties with respect to the unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Since December 31, 2008, the change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits consisted of an increase of $2.4 million related to prior period tax positions and a decrease of $0.4 million related to prior period tax positions.
The income tax returns for two of our U.K. indirect subsidiaries are currently under examination by the U.K. tax authorities: Intelsat Global Sales & Marketing Ltd. for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and PanAmSat Europe Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2003. During the first quarter of 2009, we had discussions with the U.K. revenue authorities regarding our outstanding audit issues. While the ultimate outcome of such examinations cannot be predicted, substantial progress was made towards resolving most of the outstanding issues. As a result, management has reduced its estimate of the U.K. unrecognized tax benefits by $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
It is reasonably possible that an audit related to our U.K. operations will be completed within the next twelve months which could result in a decrease in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, we believe it is reasonably possible that we will recognize a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. We believe that there are no other jurisdictions in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
During the third quarter of 2008, the Internal Revenue Service began an audit of Intelsat Corp for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. At this point in time, it is too early to anticipate both the length of the audit and the probability of any adjustments.
Prior to August 20, 2004, our subsidiary, Intelsat Corp, joined with The DIRECTV Group and General Motors Corporation 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 General Motors Corporation 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 is 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 December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, we recorded tax indemnification receivables of $5.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
On October 25, 2007, Intelsat Corp was notified by The DIRECTV Group that the Internal Revenue Service 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.
Note 11 Restructuring and Transaction Costs
Our restructuring and transaction costs include historical facilities restructuring plans and management-approved restructuring plans to consolidate and integrate the management and operations of Intelsat and PanAmSat subsequent to consummation of the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions as well as transaction-related expenses incurred in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition.
(a) Facilities Restructuring Plan
We approved a facilities restructuring plan subsequent to the consummation of the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions which includes the closure of PanAmSat’s 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 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. The facilities restructuring liability was $5.5 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively, the current portion of which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, with the remainder in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We expect to pay $2.2 million within the next 12 months in connection with the facilities restructuring plan.
(b) Workforce Restructuring Plan
As part of the consolidation and integration associated with the PanAmSat Acquisition Transactions, we 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. A workforce restructuring liability of $0.4 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively, was included in employee related liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the remaining liability at March 31, 2009 is expected to be paid in 2009.

Note 12 Contingencies
(a) Litigation and Claims
We are subject to litigation in the ordinary 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.
(b) LCO Protection
Most of the customer service commitments entered into prior to our privatization were transferred to us pursuant to novation agreements. Certain of these agreements contain provisions, including provisions for lifeline connectivity obligation (“LCO”) protection, which constrain our ability to price services in some circumstances. Our LCO contracts require us 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, we 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, 2009, we had approximately $159.7 million of backlog covered by LCO contracts and to date we have not been required to reduce prices for our LCO-protected service commitments. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to reduce prices in the future under our LCO commitments.
(c) Other
Boeing Satellite Systems, Inc. has security interests in certain transponders on the IS-2, IS-3R, IS-4 and IS-5 satellites to secure incentive payments owed by us pursuant to satellite construction contracts.
Note 13 Business and Geographic Segment Information
We operate in a single industry segment, in which we provide satellite services to our communications customers around the world. Revenue by region is based on the locations of customers to which services are billed. Our satellites are in geosynchronous orbit, and consequently are not attributable to any geographic location. Of our remaining assets, substantially all are located in the United States.

In connection with the closing of the New Sponsors Acquisition on February 4, 2008, Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd. (“Intelsat Bermuda”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a new monitoring fee agreement (the “2008 MFA”) with BC Partners and Silver Lake Management Company III, L.L.C. (together, the “2008 MFA parties”), pursuant to which the 2008 MFA parties provide certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services to Intelsat Bermuda. We recorded expense for services associated with the 2008 MFA of $1.5 million and $5.8 million during the successor period February 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.
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 (collectively, 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. In connection with the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition, this agreement was terminated. Pursuant to the 2006 MFA, an annual fee equal to the greater of $6.25 million or 1.25% of Intelsat Corp Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes due 2016 of Intelsat Corp) was to be paid, and Intelsat Bermuda reimbursed the 2006 MFA parties for their out-of-pocket expenses. We recorded expense for services associated with the 2006 MFA of $0.7 million during the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 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 (the per share price specified in the BC Share Purchase Agreement). In

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. 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 11.25% Senior Notes due 2016 and $260.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013 (collectively, the “July 2006 Notes”).

| • | | elimination of investment in subsidiaries; |
| • | | elimination of intercompany accounts; |

INTELSAT, LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2009
(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 9.25% Senior Notes due 2016 (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.
Overview
We are a leading provider of fixed satellite services worldwide. We provide service on a global fleet of 51 satellites and seven owned teleports and terrestrial facilities. We supply video, data and voice connectivity in approximately 200 countries and territories for approximately 1,800 customers, many of which we have had relationships with for over 30 years. We have one of the largest, most flexible and one of the most reliable satellite fleets in the world, which covers over 99% of the world’s population. Our satellite fleet is operated via ground facilities used to monitor and control our satellites and is complemented by a terrestrial network of teleports, points of presence and leased fiber links for the provision of our hybrid managed services.
Recent Debt Transactions
On February 12, 2009, our indirect subsidiary, Intelsat Sub Holdco, purchased $114.2 million of Intelsat, Ltd.’s outstanding 7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2012 for $93.3 million and $346.5 million of Intelsat, Ltd.’s outstanding 6 1/2% Senior Notes due 2013 for $254.6 million pursuant to a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”). Intelsat Sub Holdco funded the Tender Offer through an offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2015, Series B, which yielded $348.3 million of cash proceeds at issuance (the “2009 Sub Holdco Notes Offering”), together with cash on hand. The net proceeds of the 2009 Sub Holdco Notes Offering were used to fund the Tender Offer, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The new notes have terms substantially similar to Intelsat Sub Holdco’s outstanding 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2015 issued in June 2008. The purchased Intelsat, Ltd. notes are being held by Intelsat Sub Holdco as an investment.
Impact of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions
On February 4, 2008, Serafina Acquisition Limited (“Serafina”) completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity ownership of Intelsat Holdings (the “New Sponsors Acquisition”) for total cash consideration of approximately $5.0 billion. The former shareholders of Intelsat Holdings (other than management) 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 in exchange for equity interests in Serafina Holdings (which was renamed Intelsat Global, Ltd. on February 8, 2008).
In order to 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”) and a $2.15 billion senior unsecured payment-in-kind 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”). See—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt—New Sponsors Acquisition Financing.
Immediately following the New Sponsors Acquisition, Intelsat Bermuda, our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, transferred certain of its assets (including all of its direct and indirect ownership interests in our subsidiaries) and certain of its liabilities and obligations to a newly formed direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelsat Jackson, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Intelsat Bermuda Transfer”). Following the Intelsat Bermuda Transfer, Intelsat Jackson became the owner of substantially all of Intelsat Bermuda’s assets and the obligor with respect to substantially all of Intelsat Bermuda’s liabilities and obligations, and Intelsat Bermuda no longer had any rights or obligations with respect to such assets and liabilities.
48
Immediately after the consummation of the Intelsat Bermuda Transfer, Serafina assigned certain of its assets and liabilities to Intelsat Bermuda (the “Serafina Assignment”), including Serafina’s rights and obligations under the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements and a Commitment Letter, dated as of June 19, 2007, among Serafina and certain banks, related to the financing of the New Sponsors Acquisition, as amended by the Commitment Letter Amendment, dated as of February 7, 2008 (the “Financing Commitment Letter”). In addition, Intelsat Sub Holdco and Intelsat Corp entered into amendments to their existing senior secured credit facilities, and Intelsat Corp entered into a joinder agreement to its existing credit agreement, to facilitate the New Sponsors Acquisition. 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. The New Sponsors Acquisition and the transactions described above are collectively referred to as the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions.
Immediately upon the closing of the New Sponsors Acquisition, the Intelsat Bermuda and Intelsat Sub Holdco monitoring fee agreements with the Former Sponsors were terminated. Intelsat Bermuda entered into a new monitoring fee agreement (the “2008 MFA”) with BC Partners Holdings Limited and Silver Lake Management Company III, L.L.C. (together, the “2008 MFA parties”), pursuant to which the 2008 MFA parties provide certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services to Intelsat Bermuda.
The New Sponsors Acquisition resulted in a change of control under the indentures governing certain of our outstanding series of notes and Intelsat Jackson’s $1.0 billion Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement dated February 2, 2007, giving the holders of those notes and loans the right to require the respective issuers to repurchase such notes and the borrower to repay such loans at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase or repayment. During the second and third quarters of 2008, the relevant entities completed each such change of control offer, financing the repurchases and repayment through backstop unsecured credit agreement borrowings under the Financing Commitment Letter or with proceeds from offerings of notes and a new unsecured term loan borrowing.
In addition, all outstanding restricted performance shares under the Intelsat Holdings, Ltd. 2005 Share Incentive Plan (the “2005 Share Plan”) vested upon consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition. Vesting in share-based compensation arrangements (“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 New Sponsors Acquisition, each unvested restricted share of Intelsat Holdings was exchanged for approximately four unvested restricted shares of Intelsat Global (“exchange shares”) and the exchange shares continue to be classified as a liability of Intelsat Global due to certain repurchase features in the 2005 Share Plan. In addition, the original vesting periods associated with the unvested Intelsat Holdings restricted shares continued. As of March 31, 2009, these exchange share grants continued to be subject to certain repurchase features and thus continued to be deemed not granted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment.
In connection with the completion of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions, we recorded $313.1 million of transaction costs in our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the predecessor period January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008. These costs included $197.2 million of costs associated with the repurchase or cancellation of restricted shares and SCAs of Intelsat Holdings, an advisory service fee of $60.0 million paid to the 2008 MFA parties, and $55.3 million in professional fees.
The New Sponsors Acquisition was accounted for by Intelsat Holdings under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. As a result, the purchase price was 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 purchase accounting adjustments have been “pushed down” and recorded in our consolidated financial statements, which resulted in a
49
new basis of accounting for the “successor period” beginning after the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition. Determining fair values required us to make significant estimates and assumptions. In order to develop estimates of fair values, we considered the following generally accepted valuation approaches: the cost approach, the income approach and the market approach. Our 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. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation methodologies were reasonable, different assumptions could have resulted in different market values. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the year ended December 31, 2008.
Results of Operations
Combined Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
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 such, the reported results of operations for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily comparable to the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to transaction costs, higher interest expense resulting from the acquisition financing and higher depreciation and amortization costs 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 to January 31, 2008 and February 1, 2008 to 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. This combination is not a measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be used in isolation or substituted for the separate predecessor entity and successor entity results.

Loss from Operations
Our loss from operations increased by $116.4 million, or 97%, from $119.8 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 to $236.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The quarter-over-quarter comparison of our financial results was affected by certain material pre-tax items as discussed below:
| • | | a $499.1 million non-cash impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2009 related to the impairment of our rights to operate at orbital locations resulting from an increase in the discount rate used in our valuation process; partially offset by |
| • | | $313.1 million in transaction costs incurred in the first quarter of 2008 upon consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition, with no such costs incurred in the first quarter of 2009, and |
| • | | a $35.0 million decrease in loss on our undesignated interest rate swaps. The $8.0 million loss on undesignated interest rate swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included $14.5 million in net interest expense, representing the difference between the amount of floating rate of interest we receive and the amount of fixed rate interest we pay, partially offset by a $6.5 million increase in fair value as a result of marking-to-market. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by $59.2 million, or 10%, as compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. New business, strong renewals, expansion of existing contracts and improved contract terms contributed to the overall favorable trends. All regions reported revenue increases, with the North America, the Europe and the Africa and Middle East regions showing the strongest gains. By service type, our revenue increased or decreased due to the following:
| • | | Transponder services—an aggregate increase of $32.5 million, due primarily to a $27.2 million increase in revenues from network services customers, resulting from new capacity services and strong renewals across all regions, and a $17.0 million increase in revenues from our government business customers resulting from new services and strong renewals in the North America region. This was partially offset by an $11.6 million decline in revenues from media customers primarily in the Latin America and Caribbean and the North America regions. |
| • | | Managed services—an aggregate increase of $6.2 million, due primarily to a $6.5 million increase in revenue from network services customers resulting from new business and service expansion in trunking and private line solutions and GXS broadband solutions in the Africa and Middle East and the Europe regions. |
| • | | Channel—a decrease of $3.2 million related to continued declines from the 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 $23.7 million, primarily due to a $21.5 million increase in revenue from professional and technical services performed for satellite operators and other customers of our satellite-related services business, including the completion of a re-sale of a launch vehicle during the first quarter of 2009, and increases in usage based mobile services for our government business customers. |
52
Operating Expenses
Direct Costs of Revenue (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)
Direct costs of revenue increased by $23.0 million, or 29%, to $103.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to:
| • | | an increase of $15.1 million in cost of sales related to the re-sale of a launch vehicle by our satellite-related services business, and |
| • | | an increase of $7.7 million for purchases of fixed and mobile third-party capacity for services sold to government business customers. |
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or 3%, to $46.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.6 million in staff-related expenses due to the recording of certain employee related expenses during the first quarter of 2008.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.1 million, or 1%, to $210.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to:
| • | | an increase of $8.5 million in depreciation expense resulting from satellites placed into service following the first quarter of 2008; |
| • | | an increase of $3.8 million in depreciation and amortization expense primarily attributable to the write-up of our depreciable assets and amortizable assets to fair value upon the closing of the New Sponsors Acquisition; partially offset by |
| • | | a net decrease of $9.2 million in depreciation expense due to changes in estimated useful lives, the impairment of Galaxy 26 and certain satellites, ground and other assets becoming fully depreciated in 2009. |
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. We also held interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion 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. The swaps have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Interest expense, net increased by $46.0 million, or 15%, to $350.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $304.7 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in interest expense, net was principally due to the following:
| • | | an increase of $50.1 million due to the incurrence or assumption of approximately $3.7 billion of net additional indebtedness in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition; |
| • | | an increase of $4.9 million due to a higher principal amount of debt and higher interest rates resulting from the repurchase or repayment of certain notes or loans in connection with our change of control offers that were completed in the second and third quarters of 2008; and |
| • | | an increase of $3.9 million due to additional indebtedness incurred in the 2009 Sub Holdco Notes Offering; partially offset by |
| • | | lower interest expense of $16.9 million due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt in 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008. |
The non-cash portion of total interest expense, net was $104.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and this amount included $72.8 million of payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest expense. The remaining
53
non-cash interest expense was primarily associated with the amortization of the deferred financing fees incurred as a result of new or refinanced debt and the amortization and accretion of discounts and premiums recorded to adjust our debt to fair value in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on early extinguishment of debt was recognized in connection with Intelsat Sub Holdco’s purchase of $114.2 million of Intelsat, Ltd.’s outstanding 7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2012 for $93.3 million and $346.5 million of Intelsat, Ltd.’s outstanding 6 1/2% Senior Notes due 2013 for $254.6 million pursuant to the Tender Offer. The loss was primarily driven by the difference between the carrying value of the Intelsat, Ltd. notes purchased and the cash paid for the purchase. The value of the Intelsat, Ltd. notes had been adjusted to fair value in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition as of February 4, 2008.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $3.1 million for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of $2.1 million was primarily related to a $1.8 million increase in exchange rate losses, primarily due to the U.S. dollar strengthening against the Brazilianreal, which impacts our service contracts with our Brazilian customers, and a $0.4 million decrease in rental income.
Benefit from Income Taxes
Our benefit from income taxes was $43.2 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the combined three months ended March 31, 2008, respectively. The increase was principally due to a higher pre-tax loss in certain taxable jurisdictions, primarily the United States and United Kingdom, during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
EBITDA
EBITDA consists of earnings before net interest, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, 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 (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to Intelsat, Ltd., 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.
A reconciliation of net loss attributable to Intelsat, Ltd. to EBITDA for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009 is as follows:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $82.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflected a decrease of $144.2 million as compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. Our cash flows from operations were negatively impacted due primarily to the higher payments for accounts payable, interest and prepaid items during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. Additionally, while we continued to experience improved collections on our customer accounts, the higher revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2009 resulted in an overall higher accounts receivable balance as compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008, resulting in a net use of cash.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $26.6 million to $136.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to higher capital expenditures of $26.0 million associated with satellites under construction during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 2008.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.3 billion for the combined three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the repayment of $1.3 billion of our long-term debt in the three months ended March 31, 2008 following the New Sponsors Acquisition, including $38.5 million in premiums paid in connection with the early retirement of certain long-term debt.
Long-Term Debt
We are a highly leveraged company and, in connection with the consummation of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions, we became a significantly more highly leveraged company, which has resulted in a significant increase in our interest expense.
In connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, our pre-acquisition long-term debt was adjusted to fair value as of the effective date of the transaction, resulting in a net decrease of $182.5 million to the carrying value of the debt. The net difference between the 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 using the effective interest method.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Intelsat Sub Holdco Senior Secured Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2009, Intelsat Sub Holdco had a revolving credit facility and certain term loans outstanding under the Intelsat Sub Holdco Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Sub Holdco Credit Agreement”), which consisted of a $344.8 million Tranche B Term loan facility with a seven-year maturity and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility with a six-year maturity. Up to $200.0 million of the revolving credit facility is
55
available for issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $35.0 million of the revolving credit facility is available for swingline loans.
Intelsat Sub Holdco is required to pay a commitment fee for the unused commitments under the revolving credit facility, if any, at a rate per annum of 0.375%. Both the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit and any swingline loans reduce availability under the revolving credit facility on a dollar for dollar basis. Obligations under the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of Intelsat Sub Holdco’s subsidiaries, as well as by Intermediate Holdco, and secured by a perfected first priority security interest to the extent legally permissible in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrower and guarantors, with certain agreed exceptions.
On January 25, 2008, Intelsat Sub Holdco entered into Amendment No. 3 to 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:
| (a) | change the applicable margin (i) on Above Bank Rate (“ABR”) loans under the Tranche B Term Loan, revolving credit loan and swingline loan facilities to a rate of 1.5% per annum and (ii) on London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans under the Tranche B Term Loan, revolving credit loan and swingline loan facilities to a rate of 2.5% per annum; |
| (b) | reduce the size of the revolving facility by $50.0 million and add a $50.0 million incremental revolving credit facility provision; |
| (c) | add language requiring the payment of a prepayment premium for prepayments of term loans prior to February 4, 2010; |
| (d) | make certain changes permitting the New Sponsors Acquisition; and |
| (e) | add a financial maintenance covenant requiring compliance with a Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Sub Holdco Credit Agreement) of less than or equal to 1.5 to 1.0. |
In September 2008, we borrowed $175.1 million under the revolver portion of Intelsat Sub Holdco’s senior secured credit facilities. One of the lenders (the “Defaulting Lender”), representing approximately 12% of the lender commitments under Intelsat Sub Holdco’s revolving credit facilities, equivalent to approximately $31.1 million of the availability as of March 31, 2009, did not provide any funds in response to our September 2008 borrowing request under the revolving credit facilities. We repaid the amounts outstanding under the revolver portion of Intelsat Sub Holdco’s senior secured credit facilities in full on December 29, 2008.
No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2009; however, $9.0 million in letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the facility. The borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $209.9 million at such date, assuming that the Defaulting Lender would not provide any funds in response to a borrowing request. On May 7, 2009, an additional third-party lender agreed to assume $25.0 million of the Defaulting Lender’s revolving credit commitments.
Intelsat Corp Senior Secured Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2009, Intelsat Corp had a revolving credit facility and certain term loans outstanding under the Intelsat Corporation Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Intelsat Corp Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which consisted of a $355.9 million Tranche A-3 Term loan with a six-year maturity, a $1.8 billion Tranche B-2 Term Loan facility with a seven and one-half year maturity, and a $175.0 million revolving credit facility with a six-year maturity. Up to $150.0 million of the revolving credit facility is available for issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $35.0 million of the revolving credit facility is available for swingline loans.
Intelsat Corp is required to pay a commitment fee for the unused commitments under the revolving credit facility, if any, at a rate per annum of 0.375%. Both the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit and any swingline loans reduce availability under the revolving credit facility on a dollar for dollar basis. Obligations
56
under the Intelsat Corp Amended and Restated Credit Agreement continue to be guaranteed by certain of Intelsat Corp’s subsidiaries and are secured by a perfected first priority security interest to the extent legally permissible in substantially all of the borrower’s and the guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, with certain agreed exceptions.
On January 25, 2008, Intelsat Corp entered into Amendment No. 2 to 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 swingline loans to a rate of between 1.5% and 1.875%, and (iv) on LIBOR loans that are revolving credit loans or swingline loans to a rate of between 2.5% and 2.875%; |
| (b) | reduce the size of the revolving facility by $75.0 million and add a $75.0 million incremental revolving credit facility provision; |
| (c) | require the payment of a prepayment premium for prepayments of term loans prior to February 4, 2011 (with respect to Tranche B-2-A Term Loans) or February 14, 2010 (with respect to Tranche B-2-B Term Loans); |
| (d) | make certain changes permitting the New Sponsors Acquisition; and |
| (e) | 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. |
On February 4, 2008, in connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, Intelsat Corp also executed a Joinder Agreement by and among Intelsat Corp, the several lenders party thereto and certain other parties, to the Intelsat Corp Amended and Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to which it incurred an additional $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Tranche B-2 Term Loan.
In September 2008, we borrowed $66.1 million under the revolver portion of Intelsat Corp’s senior secured credit facilities. The Defaulting Lender, representing approximately 12% of the lender commitments under Intelsat Corp’s revolving credit facilities, equivalent to approximately $20.8 million of the availability as of March 31, 2009, did not provide any funds in response to our September 2008 borrowing request. We repaid the amounts outstanding under the revolver portion of Intelsat Corp’s senior secured credit facilities in full on December 29, 2008.
No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2009; however, $2.1 million in letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the facility. The borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $152.2 million at such date, assuming that the Defaulting Lender would not provide any funds in response to a borrowing request.
New Sponsors Acquisition Financing
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 the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements. Immediately following the New Sponsors Acquisition and the Intelsat Bermuda Transfer, Intelsat Bermuda assumed the Bridge Loan Agreements as part of the Serafina Assignment.
Borrowings under the Senior Bridge Loan Credit Agreement bore interest at LIBOR, plus a margin of 4.5%. Borrowings under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement bore interest at LIBOR, plus a margin of 4.75%. In addition, we had the option to pay interest under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement in
57
PIK interest at a PIK interest rate equal to the cash pay interest rate in effect during the interest period plus 100 basis points. We elected to pay interest under the PIK Election Bridge Loan Credit Agreement entirely in PIK interest for all interest periods through June 26, 2008.
On June 27, 2008, Intelsat Bermuda repaid in full the Bridge Loan Credit Agreements and issued new senior notes.
Credit Facility Amendments
In connection with the New Sponsors Acquisition, Intelsat Sub Holdco and Intelsat Corp entered into amendments to their existing credit agreements. See—Senior Secured Credit Facilities above.
Debt Transfer, Repayment and Redemptions
On January 15, 2008, we repaid at maturity Intelsat Corp’s $150.0 million 6 3/8% Senior Notes due 2008 using funds borrowed under the revolving credit facility portion of Intelsat Corp’s senior secured credit facilities. On February 4, 2008, Intelsat Corp used the proceeds of its incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loan and cash on hand to repay this $150.0 million revolver borrowing.
Intelsat Bermuda assigned its debt obligations to Intelsat Jackson on February 4, 2008 (see—Impact of the New Sponsors Acquisition Transactions above) and we subsequently redeemed $1.26 billion in long-term debt and incurred early redemption premiums of $38.5 million as follows:
| • | | on February 7, 2008, Intelsat Jackson’s $260.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013 were redeemed and an early redemption premium of $18.9 million was incurred; |
| • | | on February 7, 2008, Intelsat Jackson’s $600.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2015 were redeemed and an early redemption premium of $12.0 million was incurred; and |
| • | | on March 6, 2008, Intelsat, Ltd.’s $400.0 million of 5 1/4% Senior Notes due 2008 were redeemed and an early redemption premium of $7.6 million was incurred. |
The premiums incurred were included in the fair value of the associated debt as of the date of the New Sponsors Acquisition.
Recent Debt Transactions
On February 12, 2009, our indirect subsidiary, Intelsat Sub Holdco, purchased $114.2 million of Intelsat, Ltd.’s outstanding 7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2012 for $93.3 million and $346.5 million of Intelsat, Ltd.’s outstanding 6 1/2% Senior Notes due 2013 for $254.6 million pursuant to the Tender Offer. Also, Intelsat Sub Holdco completed an offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2015, Series B, which yielded $348.3 million of proceeds at issuance. See—Overview—Recent Debt Transactions.
New Dawn Credit Facilities
On December 5, 2008, New Dawn Satellite Company Ltd (“New Dawn”) entered into a $215.0 million secured financing arrangement that consists of senior and mezzanine term loan facilities. The credit facilities are non-recourse to New Dawn’s shareholders, including Intelsat, Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, beyond the shareholders’ scheduled capital contributions. Up to $25.0 million of the facilities is subject to cancellation if additional funding commitments are not secured by the original lenders by a specified date. The senior facility provides for a commitment of up to $125.0 million. The interest rate on term loans under the senior facility is the aggregate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin between 3.0% and 4.0% and certain costs, if incurred. The mezzanine facility provides for a commitment of up to $90.0 million. The interest rate on term loans under the mezzanine facility is the aggregate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin between 5.3% and 6.3% and certain costs, if incurred. New Dawn is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate per annum of 0.5% on any unused commitments under the term loan facilities.

Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and New Bermuda 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 as described in the table and related footnotes below. 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. 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.
In addition to EBITDA and Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA, we also calculate a measure called New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA, based on the term Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the indenture governing Intelsat Bermuda’s 11 1/4% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Bermuda Senior Notes”) and Intelsat Bermuda’s 11 1/2%/12 1/2% Senior PIK Election Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Bermuda PIK Notes” and together with the 2017 Bermuda Senior Notes, the “2008 Bermuda Notes”).
New Bermuda 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 indenture of Intelsat Bermuda as described in the table and related footnotes below. New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA, as presented below, is calculated only with respect to Intelsat Bermuda and its subsidiaries. New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of certain ratios used in the indenture governing the 2008 Bermuda Notes, such as the debt to New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA ratio and the secured indebtedness leverage ratio.
Under Intelsat Bermuda’s indenture, Intelsat Bermuda generally may not incur additional indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions) if the debt to New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA ratio calculated on a pro forma basis at the time of such incurrence would exceed 8.00 to 1.00 and Intelsat Bermuda 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 this indenture, satisfaction of a 6.75 to 1.00 debt to New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA ratio is generally (subject to certain exceptions) a condition to the making of restricted payments by Intelsat Bermuda. Furthermore, under the restricted payments covenants contained in this indenture (subject to certain exceptions), the ability of Intelsat Bermuda to make restricted payments (including the making of investments and the payment of dividends) is restricted by a formula based on the amount of New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA measured from January 1, 2008 and calculated without making pro forma adjustments.
We believe that the inclusion of Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and New Bermuda 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 indenture governing the 2008 Bermuda Notes as mentioned above. We believe that some investors may use Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our liquidity and financial condition. Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Sub Holdco Adjusted EBITDA and New Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to Intelsat, Ltd., 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.

Funding Sources and Uses
We are a highly leveraged company and have incurred significant additional debt over the last three years, which has resulted in a large increase in our obligations related to debt service, including increased interest expense. We currently expect to use cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our senior secured credit facilities to fund our most significant cash outlays, including debt service requirements and capital expenditures, in the next twelve months.
No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2009; however, we had aggregate outstanding letters of credit of $9.0 million under the revolver portion of Intelsat Sub Holdco’s senior secured credit facilities and $2.1 million under the revolver portion of Intelsat Corp’s senior secured credit facilities. Intelsat Sub Holdco and Intelsat Corp had $209.9 million (net of standby letters of credit) and $152.2 million (net of standby letters of credit), respectively, of availability remaining under their senior secured credit facilities at that date, assuming that the Defaulting Lender would not provide any funds in response to a borrowing request, as described above. 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,
61
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., with a senior secured debt covenant included in the indenture governing Intelsat, 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.
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 98% of our backlog as of March 31, 2009 related to contracts that either were non-cancelable or had substantial termination penalties. Our backlog also includes our pro rata share of backlog of our joint venture investments. Our backlog was approximately $8.8 billion and $8.7 billion as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, 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
Subsequent to December 31, 2008, we entered into agreements with an aggregate commitment of $322.9 million for satellite construction and launch services related to multiple satellite programs as well as options for future satellites and launch services.
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 three months ended March 31, 2009 were $132.6 million, and this amount included $16.0 million of payments made by New Dawn. 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 have multiple satellites on order with several launches planned in 2009.
We expect our 2009 total capital expenditures to range from approximately $625 million to $675 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. The expected 2009 capital expenditures range excludes approximately $100 million in capital expenditures associated with a satellite that is to be procured and launched in 2010 pursuant to our New Dawn joint venture. We have a 74.9% indirect ownership interest in New Dawn and the financial results of the New Dawn investment are consolidated within our results. However, the majority of New Dawn’s expenditures will be financed by third parties, and our net cash outlay with respect to New Dawn is expected to be minimal in 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
On August 1, 2005, Intelsat Corp formed its second satellite joint investment with JSAT International, Inc. to build and launch a Ku-band satellite (“Horizons-2”). The Horizons-2 satellite was launched in December 2007 and placed into service in February 2008. The satellite supports digital video, high-definition television and internet protocol-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 $160.8 million as of March 31, 2009, of which each of the joint venture partners is required to fund their 50% share.
In connection with our investment in Horizons-2, we entered into a capital contribution and subscription agreement in August 2005, 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 contributions of $6.1 million in each of March 2008 and March 2009. Intelsat Corp has entered into a security and pledge agreement with a third-party lender and, pursuant to this agreement, granted a security interest in its contribution obligation to the lender. Therefore, we have recorded this obligation as an indirect guarantee in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 45 (as amended),Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. We have recorded a liability of $12.2 million within accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, and a liability of $61.0 million and $54.9 million within other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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 April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly(“FSP No. FAS 157-4”). FSP No. FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS No. 157”), when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased, there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what SFAS No. 157 states as the objective of fair value measurement which is to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction, as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, FSP No. FAS 157-4 reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. Additionally, FSP No. FAS 157-4 requires enhanced disclosures. FSP No. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. FAS 157-4 and the impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments(“FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires issuers to disclose on a quarterly basis qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all financial instruments not measured or reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. Previously, the disclosure requirement was limited to an annual basis. FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We plan to adopt FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 and provide the additional disclosure requirements during the second quarter of 2009.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1,Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets(“FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1”). FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 provides additional disclosure requirements for the plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1
63
requires employers of public and nonpublic entities to disclose additional information detailing how investment allocation decisions are made, the major categories of plan assets including concentration of risk and fair-value measurements, and the fair value techniques used to measure the plan assets. The disclosure requirements are effective for years ending after December 15, 2009. We plan to adopt FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 and provide the additional disclosure requirements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2009.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative 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. In addition, with respect to our interest rate swaps, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk, which we seek to minimize through credit support agreements and the review and monitoring of all counterparties. There have been no material changes to our market risk sensitive instruments and positions as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
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 (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and timely reported as provided in Securities and Exchange Commission 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 United States 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 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, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive and financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
We are subject to litigation in the ordinary 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, 2008.
