1. Business Activites

Principal Business

     Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., a Delaware corporation, is developing a
service for broadcasting digital quality programming via satellites to vehicles,
homes and portable radios throughout the continental United States. We intend
to focus exclusively on providing a consumer service; consumer electronics
manufacturers will manufacture the radios required to receive our broadcasts.
In April 1997, we were the winning bidder in an auction by the Federal
Communications Commission for one of two national satellite broadcast licenses
with a winning bid of approximately $83,300. We paid the bid amount during 1997
and were awarded an FCC license on October 10, 1997. Our principal activities
to date have included obtaining regulatory approval for our service,
constructing and launching our three satellite constellation, constructing our
national broadcast studio, acquiring content for our programming, constructing
our terrestrial repeater network, arranging for the development of radios,
strategic planning and market research, recruiting our management team and
securing financing for capital expenditures and working capital.

Recent Developments

     On February 23, 2001, we sold 11,500,000 shares of our common stock in an
underwritten public offering for net proceeds of approximately $229,300.

     On March 7, 2001, we borrowed $150,000 under a term loan agreement with
Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim
financial reporting. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have
been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. These financial statements should be read in connection with our
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the
reported period. The estimates involve judgments with respect to, among other
things, various future factors which are difficult to predict and are beyond our
control. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

Marketable Securities and Restricted Investments

         Marketable securities are classified as trading securities and are
stated at market value. Marketable securities consist of obligations of U.S.
government agencies and commercial paper issued by major U.S. corporations with
high credit ratings. Unrealized holding gains of $922 and $2,275 were reflected
in earnings at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

         Restricted investments consist of fixed income securities and are
stated at amortized cost plus accrued interest income. Restricted investments
are classified as held-to-maturity securities and unrealized holding gains and
losses are not reflected in earnings. As of March 31, 2001 and December 31,
2000, we had an unrealized holding gain of $323 and an unrealized holding loss
of $16, respectively, related to these securities. We are required to hold the
securities included in restricted investments to pay interest on our 14-1/2%
Senior Secured Notes due 2009 through May 15, 2002.

Property and Equipment

         All costs incurred related to activities necessary to prepare our
broadcast system for use are capitalized. To date, such costs consist of
satellite construction and launch, broadcast studio equipment, terrestrial
repeater network in process and capitalized interest.

Net Loss Per Share

         Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of
outstanding shares of our common stock. Diluted net loss per share adjusts the
weighted average for the potential dilution that could occur if common stock
equivalents (convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, warrants and stock
options) were exercised or converted into common stock. As of March 31, 2001 and
2000, approximately 17,770,000 and 28,892,000 common stock equivalents were
outstanding, respectively, and were excluded from the calculation of diluted net
loss per share, as they were antidilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), as amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133", and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative and Certain Hedging Activities", became effective on January
1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The accounting for the change in
the fair value of a derivative depends on the use of the derivative and whether
or not it qualifies for hedge accounting. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not
have a material impact on our financial statements.

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

3. Deferred Satellite Payments

         Under an amended and restated contract (the "Loral Satellite Contract")
with Space Systems/Loral, Inc. ("Loral"), Loral has agreed to defer certain
amounts due under the Loral Satellite Contract. The amounts deferred, which
approximate fair value, bear interest at 10% per year and were originally due
in quarterly installments beginning in June 2002. However, the agreement
governing these deferred amounts provides that this date, and subsequent payment
dates, will be extended by the number of days that the achievement of certain
milestones under the Loral Satellite Contract is delayed beyond the dates set
forth in the Loral Satellite Contract. Our fourth, spare, satellite is expected
to be delivered to ground storage in October 2001 and was originally expected to
be delivered to ground storage in October 2000. As a result of Loral's delay in
delivering this satellite, we do not expect to make any required payments with
respect to these deferred amounts until June 2003, at the earliest. We do,
however, have the right to prepay any deferred payments together with accrued
interest, without penalty. As collateral security for these deferred payments,
we have granted Loral a security interest in our terrestrial repeater network.

5. Term Loan Facility

         On June 1, 2000, we entered into a term loan agreement with Lehman
Commercial Paper Inc. ("LCPI") and Lehman Brothers Inc. On March 7, 2001, after
satisfaction of the conditions to borrowing, including a demonstration of our
broadcast system, we borrowed $150,000 of term loans from LCPI under this
agreement. These term loans bear interest at an annual rate equal to the
eurodollar rate plus 4% or a base rate, typically the prime rate, plus 5%. As
of March 31, 2001, the interest rate on these term loans was 9.97%. These term
loans are secured by a pledge of the stock of Satellite CD Radio, Inc., our

subsidiary that holds our FCC license, and our rights under the Loral Satellite
Contract relating to our fourth, spare, satellite. The proceeds of these term
loans will be used for working capital, capital expenditures and general
corporate purposes.

         In connection with this term loan facility, we placed into escrow, for
the benefit of LCPI, 2,100,000 warrants, each to purchase one share of our
common stock at an exercise price of $29.00 per share. The value of these
warrants at the time of issuance was approximately $11,879 and will be accreted
to interest expense over the life of the term loans. On April 4, 2001, these
warrants were released from escrow.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Satellite Contract

         We entered into the Loral Satellite Contract to build and launch the
satellites necessary for our service. We are committed to make aggregate
payments of approximately $745,890 under the Loral Satellite Contract. As of
March 31, 2001, $683,390 of this obligation had been satisfied. Under the Loral
Satellite Contract, with the exception of a payment made to Loral in March 1993,
payments are due in installments that commenced in April 1997 and will end in
October 2004. Our future payments due to Loral, including deferred satellite
payments, are as follows: $12,500 in 2001, $0 in 2002, $25,000 in 2003 and
$25,000 in 2004. The amount and timing of these future payments depends upon the
completion of construction of our fourth, spare, satellite.

Radio Commitments

         Matsushita Communication Industrial Corporation of USA ("Panasonic")
has constructed a dedicated facility in Peachtree City, Georgia, to manufacture
radios capable of receiving our broadcasts. As part of our arrangement with
Panasonic, during the first year of production of satellite radios at this
facility, we are obligated to purchase certain radios not purchased by other
customers. Based on discussions with potential purchasers of these radios,
including consumer electronics retailers and suppliers to the automotive
industry, we do not expect to incur any costs under this agreement; however,
if Panasonic were unable to sell any of the applicable radios, our costs under
this agreement could approximate $70,000.

7. Engineering Design and Development

         We have entered into an agreement with Agere Systems, Inc. (the
successor to the microelectronics group of Lucent Technologies, Inc. ("Agere"))
pursuant to which Agere has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver integrated circuits ("chip sets") which will be used in radios capable
of receiving our broadcasts. In addition, we have entered into agreements with
Alpine Electronics Inc., Audiovox Corporation, Clarion Co., Ltd., Delphi Delco
Electronics Systems, Fujitsu Ten Limited, Harman International Industries,
Incorporated, Kenwood Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America,
Inc., Panasonic, Pioneer Corporation, Recoton Corporation, Sanyo Electronic Co.

manufacturers to design, develop and produce radios capable of receiving our
service and have agreed to pay certain costs associated with these radios. We
record expenses under these agreements as the work is performed. Total expenses
related to these agreements were $13,009 and $13,903 for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $87,690 for the period May 17,
1990 (date of inception) to March 31, 2001.

8. Stock Option Plans

         On April 9, 2001, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors
amended approximately 3,832,000 stock options with an exercise price greater
than $7.50 to cause such stock options to have an exercise price equal to $7.50.
David Margolese, our Chairman and Chief Executive, elected not to include any
options held by him in the repricing. The Compensation Committee, together with
its independent compensation consultant, Ernst & Young LLP, evaluated various
methods to motivate and retain our employees during this critical period. The
Compensation Committee concluded that repricing best served the near and
long-term interests of our stockholders. Other than the change in the exercise
price, no other changes to the terms of the original options were made. In
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an
interpretation of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, these modified
stock options will be accounted for as variable.

         On May 11, 2001, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors
granted Mr. Margolese an option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock
at a price of $12.67 per share, the closing price of our common stock on that
day.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

         The following cautionary statements identify important factors that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in
other reports and documents published by us from time to time. Any statements
about our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions, future events
or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These
statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases
such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is
anticipated," "estimated," "intends," "plans," "projection" and "outlook." Any
forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
factors discussed throughout our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2000 (the "Form 10-K") and in other reports and documents published
by us from time to time, particularly the risk factors described under
"Business--Risk Factors" in Part I of the Form 10-K. Among the significant
factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements are:

         o    the unavailability of radios capable of receiving our service and
              our dependence upon third parties to manufacture and distribute
              them;

         o    the potential risk of delay in implementing our business plan;

         o    the unproven market for our service; and

         o    our need for additional financing.

         Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results
or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no
obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. New factors emerge
from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise or
to assess with any precision the impact of each factor on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

         Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. was organized in May 1990 and is in its
development stage. Our principal activities to date have included:

         o    obtaining regulatory approval for our service;




                                       9










         o    constructing and launching our three satellite constellation;

         o    constructing our national broadcast studio;

         o    acquiring content for our programming;

         o    constructing our terrestrial repeater network;

         o    arranging for the development of radios capable of receiving our
              service;

         o    strategic planning and market research;

         o    recruiting our management team; and

         o    securing financing for capital expenditures and working capital.

         We will require additional funds for working capital, interest on
borrowings, financing costs and operating expenses until some time after we
commence commercial operations. We cannot assure you that we will ever commence
commercial operations, attain any particular level of revenues or achieve
profitability.

         We will broadcast 50 channels of commercial-free music and up to 50
channels of news, sports and entertainment to consumers throughout the
continental United States and expect our primary source of revenues to be
subscription fees. We anticipate that our subscription fee will be $12.95 per
month, with a one-time activation fee per subscriber. We also expect our
subscription to be included in the sale or lease of certain new vehicles. In
addition, we expect to derive revenues from directly selling or bartering
limited advertising on our non-music channels.

         The operating expenses associated with our service will consist
primarily of marketing and sales costs, costs to acquire programming, expenses
of maintaining our broadcasting system and general and administrative costs.
Costs to acquire programming include payments to build and maintain an extensive
music library and royalty payments for broadcasting music. As of May 10, 2001,
we had 186 employees. On December 31, 2001, we expect to have approximately 250
employees.

         We received title to our satellites on July 31, 2000, September 29,
2000 and December 20, 2000, following the completion of in-orbit testing of each
satellite. We expect our fourth, spare, satellite to be delivered to ground
storage in October 2001.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 Compared with Three Months Ended
March 31, 2000

         We had net losses of $54,089 and $24,811 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Our total operating expenses were $39,316
and $26,776 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.




                                       10










         Engineering design and development costs were $17,686 and $16,898 for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These engineering
costs represented primarily payments to Agere Systems, Inc. (39% in the 2001
period and 63% in the 2000 period) and other radio development and manufacturing
partners (34% in the 2001 period and 19% in the 2000 period). The increase in
costs in the 2001 period resulted primarily from the increased activity in our
radio development effort as we prepare to launch our service.

         General and administrative expenses increased for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 to $21,630 from $9,878 for the three months ended March 31,
2000. General and administrative expenses increased principally due to the
growth of our workforce, expenses in connection with stock and stock options
granted to employees and consultants and in-orbit insurance for our three
satellites. The major components of general and administrative expenses in the
2001 period were salaries and employment related costs (25%), marketing costs
(16%) and rent and occupancy costs (15%), while in the 2000 period the major
components were salaries and employment related costs (46%), marketing costs
(13%) and rent and occupancy costs (15%). The remaining portion of general and
administrative expenses (44% in the 2001 period and 26% in the 2000 period)
consisted of other costs such as legal and regulatory, insurance, consulting,
travel, depreciation and supplies, with no such amount exceeding 10% of the
total in either 2001 or 2000.

         The decrease in interest and investment income to $3,607 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001, from $7,831 for the three months ended March 31,
2000, was the result of a lower average balance of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities and a lower return on our investments in U.S. government
securities and commercial paper issued by major U.S. corporations with high
credit ratings during the 2001 period.

         Interest expense was $18,380 for the three months ended March 31, 2001
and $5,866 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, net of capitalized
interest of $4,362 and $17,518, respectively. Gross interest expense for the
2001 period decreased by $642 and capitalized interest decreased by $13,156,
compared to the 2000 period. The decrease in the capitalization of interest
during the 2001 period was primarily due to the lower level of construction in
process associated with our satellites and launch vehicles.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At March 31, 2001, we had cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities
and restricted investments totaling $502,472 and working capital of $471,265
compared with cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted
investments totaling $185,060 and working capital of $143,981 at December 31,
2000.

         Funding Requirements. We entered into a satellite contract (the "Loral
Satellite Contract") with Space Systems/Loral, Inc. ("Loral") to build and
launch the satellites necessary to transmit our service. The Loral Satellite
Contract requires Loral to:

         o    construct, launch and deliver three satellites in-orbit and
              checked-out;

         o    construct a fourth satellite for use as a spare; and

         o    deliver $15,000 of long-lead time parts for a possible fifth
              satellite.

We are committed to make aggregate payments of approximately $745,890 under the
Loral Satellite Contract. As of March 31, 2001, $683,390 of this obligation had
been satisfied. Under the Loral Satellite Contract, with the exception of a
payment made to Loral in March




                                       11










1993, payments are made in installments that commenced in April 1997 and will
end in October 2004. Our future payments due to Loral are as follows: $12,500 in
2001, $0 in 2002, $25,000 in 2003 and $25,000 in 2004. The amount and timing of
our future payments to Loral depends upon the completion of construction of our
fourth satellite.

         The amount and timing of our other cash requirements will depend upon
numerous factors, including completion of our terrestrial repeater network,
costs associated with the design and development of chip sets and radios, the
rate of growth of our business after we commence service, costs of financing
and the possibility of unanticipated costs.

         Sources of Funding. To date, we have funded our capital needs through
the issuance of debt and equity securities.

         As of March 31, 2001, we had received a total of approximately
$1,103,300 in equity capital as a result of the following transactions:

         o    the sale of shares of our common stock (net proceeds of
              approximately $22,000) prior to the issuance of our FCC license in
              October 1997;

         o    the sale of 5,400,000 shares of our 5% Delayed Convertible
              Preferred Stock (net proceeds of approximately $121,000) in April
              1997 (in November 1997, we exchanged 1,846,799 shares of our
              10-1/2% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for all the
              outstanding shares of our 5% Delayed Convertible Preferred Stock)
              (all shares of our 10-1/2% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
              have since been converted into shares of our common stock);

         o    the sale of 4,955,488 shares of our common stock (net proceeds of
              approximately $71,000) in 1997;

         o    the sale of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Prime 66
              Partners, L.P. (net proceeds of approximately $98,000) in November
              1998;

         o    the sale of 1,350,000 shares of our 9.2% Series A Junior
              Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to the Apollo Investment
              Fund IV, L.P. and Apollo Overseas Partners IV, L.P. (collectively,
              the "Apollo Investors") (net proceeds of approximately $129,000)
              in December 1998;

         o    the sale of 650,000 shares of our 9.2% Series B Junior Cumulative
              Convertible Preferred Stock to the Apollo Investors (net proceeds
              of approximately $63,000) in November 1999;

         o    the sale of 3,450,000 shares of our common stock in an
              underwritten public offering (net proceeds of approximately
              $78,000) in September and October 1999;

         o    the sale of 2,000,000 shares of our 9.2% Series D Junior
              Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to affiliates of The
              Blackstone Group L.P. (net proceeds of approximately $192,000) in
              January 2000;

         o    the sale of 2,290,322 shares of our common stock to

         As of March 31, 2001, we had received a total of approximately $443,000
in net proceeds from the following public debt offerings:

         o    12,910 units, each consisting of $20 aggregate principal amount at
              maturity of our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007 and a
              warrant to purchase additional 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes
              due 2007 with an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $3 in
              an underwritten public offering (net proceeds of approximately
              $116,000) in November 1997. All of these warrants were exercised
              in 1997. The aggregate value at maturity of our 15% Senior Secured
              Discount Notes due 2007 is approximately $297,000. Our 15% Senior
              Secured Discount Notes due 2007 mature on December 1, 2007 and the
              first cash interest payment is due in June 2003.

         o    200,000 units, each consisting of $1 aggregate principal amount of
              our 14-1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 and three warrants, each
              to purchase 4.189 shares of our common stock (as of March 31,
              2001) in an underwritten public offering (net proceeds of
              approximately $190,000) in May 1999. The warrants are exercisable
              through May 15, 2009 at an exercise price of $24.92 per share (as
              of March 31, 2001). We invested approximately $79,300 of the net
              proceeds from this offering in a portfolio of U.S. government
              securities, which we pledged as security for payment in full of
              interest due on the 14-1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 through
              May 15, 2002.

         o    $125,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8-3/4% Convertible
              Subordinated Notes due 2009 in an underwritten public offering
              (net proceeds of approximately $119,000) in September 1999. In
              October 1999, we issued an additional $18,750 aggregate principal
              amount of our 8-3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 to
              the underwriters of that offering in connection with their
              over-allotment option (net proceeds of approximately $18,000).

         The indentures governing our 14-1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 and
our 15% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007 contain limitations on our
ability to incur additional indebtedness. These notes are secured by a pledge of
the stock of Satellite CD Radio, Inc., our subsidiary that holds our FCC
license. As of March 31, 2001, we had acquired $62,914 principal amount of our
8-3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 in exchange for shares of our
common stock.

         Loral has deferred a total of $50,000 of payments under the Loral
Satellite Contract originally scheduled for payment in 1999. These deferred
amounts bear interest at 10% per year and were originally scheduled to be paid
in quarterly installments beginning in June 2002. However, the agreement
governing these deferred amounts provides that this date, and subsequent payment
dates, will be extended by the number of days that the achievement of any
milestone under the Loral Satellite Contract is delayed beyond the date set
forth in the Loral Satellite Contract. Our fourth, spare, satellite was
originally expected to be delivered to ground storage in October 2000 and now is
expected to be delivered to ground storage in October 2001. As a result of this
delay, we do not expect to make any required payments with respect to these
deferred amounts until June 2003, at the earliest. As security for these
deferred payments, we have granted Loral a security interest in
our terrestrial repeater network.

         On June 1, 2000, we entered into a term loan agreement with Lehman
Commercial Paper Inc. ("LCPI") and Lehman Brothers Inc. On March 7, 2001, after
satisfaction of the conditions to borrowing, including a demonstration of our
broadcast system, we borrowed $150,000 of term loans from LCPI under this
agreement. These term loans bear interest at an annual rate equal to the
eurodollar rate plus 4% or a base rate, typically the prime rate, plus 5%. These
term loans are secured by a pledge of the stock of Satellite CD Radio, Inc., our
subsidiary that holds our FCC license, and our rights under the Loral Satellite
Contract relating to




                                       13









our fourth, spare, satellite. The proceeds of these term loans will be used for
working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.

         The term loans mature in quarterly installments, commencing on March
31, 2003, in an amount equal to the percentage set forth below of the aggregate
principal amount of the loans:



         Installment                                            Percentage
                                                             
         March 31, 2003............................                0.25%
         June 30, 2003.............................                0.25%
         September 30, 2003........................                0.25%
         December 31, 2003.........................                0.25%
         March 31, 2004............................                2.25%
         June 30, 2004.............................                2.25%
         September 30, 2004........................                2.25%
         December 31, 2004.........................                2.25%
         March 31, 2005............................               22.50%
         June 30, 2005.............................               22.50%
         September 30, 2005........................               22.50%
         December 31, 2005.........................               22.50%


         We may prepay the term loans in whole at any time or in part from time
to time. Prepayment prior to March 7, 2004 must be accompanied by a specified
prepayment penalty. We must prepay the term loans:

         o    with the net proceeds of certain incurrences of indebtedness;

         o    with the proceeds of asset sales, subject to certain exceptions;
              and

         o    commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, with
              excess cash.

         The term loan facility contains customary covenants and events of
default for a senior secured bank loan. These covenants restrict our ability to
issue additional debt and engage in certain activities.

         In connection with this term loan facility, we granted LCPI 2,100,000
warrants, each to purchase one share of our common stock, at an exercise price
of $29.00 per share.
