registered on Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration Statement
No. 333-19167: (a) Senior Note Units, consisting of 11 1/4 % Senior Notes
due 2007 and warrants to purchase common stock of the registrant, (b)
Senior Discount Note Units, consisting of 12 1/2 % Senior Discount Notes
due 2007 and warrants to purchase common stock of the registrant, and (c)
Senior Note Warrants and Senior Discount Note Warrants (collectively, the
"Warrants") to purchase shares of common stock of the registrant. By virtue
of the merger of the registrant with a wholly owned subsidiary of Loral
Space & Communications Ltd. ("Loral Ltd.") in 1998, the Warrants were
converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the
registrant's parent, Loral Ltd. As a result, there remain no holders of the
Warrants.
