                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

         The Company was organized in May 1990 and is in its development stage.
The Company's principal activities to date have included technology
development, pursuing regulatory approval for CD Radio, initiation of
discussions with radio manufacturers and automakers, market research, design,
development, contract negotiations with satellite and launch vehicle
contractors, technical efforts with respect to standards and specifications,
development of a mobile demonstration program and securing adequate working
capital. The Company has been unprofitable to date and expects to continue to
incur substantial losses through at least the first full year of CD Radio
service. Since its inception, the Company has not derived any revenues from
operations and does not expect to generate any revenues from operations prior
to the commencement of CD Radio, which is not expected to occur before the
first half of 1999. In order to commence CD Radio service, the Company will
require the FCC License and substantial additional funds to finance
construction of its satellite system, to plan and implement its service, to
provide working capital and to sustain its operations until it generates
positive cash flows from operations.

         In June 1994, the Company undertook measures to reduce the Company's
cash requirements prior to the receipt of the FCC License. As a result of these
efforts, the Company's cash operating expenses, net of cash received from
interest income, was $331,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  In
the absence of the FCC License, the Company believes that its working capital
is sufficient to fund planned operations through the first quarter of 1997.
There can be no assurance that the Company's actual cash requirements will not
exceed its anticipated pre-License cash requirements, that additional cash
requirements will not arise or that additional financing will not be required
prior to the receipt of the FCC License.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company recorded net losses of $517,000 and $433,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Company's total
operating expenses were $537,000 and $472,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         Legal, consulting and regulatory fees increased for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 to $228,000 from $189,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995.  These levels of expenditures are the result of reduced Company
activity and is expected to remain at this level until the FCC License is
received.

         Research and development costs were $28,000 and $26,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  This minimal level of
research and development cost is the result of the Company completing the
majority of such activities in 1994.

         Other general and administrative expenses increased for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to $282,000 from $257,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.  General and administrative expenses continue to remain
at a low level due to a focused effort to reduce costs until such time as the
Company receives the FCC License.  The Company also incurred a non-cash charge
of $80,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
attributable to the recognition of compensation expense in connection with
stock options issued to officers of the Company.

         The decrease of interest income to $25,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, from $44,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1995, was the
result of a higher average cash balance during the first quarter of 1995.  The
cash and cash equivalents on hand were originally obtained from the Company's
initial public offering in September of 1994.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately
$1,214,000, compared to $2,554,000 at March 31, 1995. The reduction in working
capital represents the Company's use of cash for operating expenses.  The
working capital was primarily obtained in the initial public offering on
September 20, 1994 which resulted in net cash proceeds of $4.4 million,
including the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

         Should the Company receive its FCC License, the Company will require
substantial additional financing to complete the construction and launch of its
satellite system and to fund the first full year of CD Radio.

         In the absence of the FCC License, the Company believes that its
working capital is sufficient to fund planned operations through the first
quarter of 1997.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's actual
cash requirements will not exceed its anticipated pre-FCC License cash
requirements, that additional cash requirements will not arise or that
additional financing will not be required prior to the receipt of the FCC
License.

         The Company estimates that upon receipt of the FCC License (assuming
that the FCC License is received in the first  half of 1996 and that the
Effective Date occurs upon receipt of the FCC License) it will require cash in
the aggregate amount of $70 million, $181 million and $228 million in the
first, second and third years, respectively, following receipt of the FCC
License to fund the construction and launch of the Company's satellites, the
commencement of CD Radio and to provide cash reserves for the first year of
service.

         Upon receipt of the FCC License, the Company intends to seek
additional financing through further debt and equity  financings.  The Company
intends to use the proceeds of the Offering remaining at that time, if any,
plus additional funds raised through these subsequent financing activities, for
working capital and to fund the commencement of satellite construction.

However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise
additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, or that it will be able to
do so on a timely basis.  If such financing were not available on a timely
basis, the Company would be required to delay satellite and/or launch vehicle
construction in order to conserve cash to fund continued operations, which
would cause delays in commencement of its operations and increased costs.

         The Company's estimates of its cash requirements are forward looking
statements that involve a number  of risks and uncertainties.  Such estimates
assume that the FCC License is received by the first half of 1996, that the FCC
License is not subject to auction requirements, that the Effective Date occurs
upon receipt of the FCC License and that operation of CD Radio commences in the
first half of 1999.  Actual amounts may exceed this estimate, and delays may
occur due to a variety of causes. Cash requirements assume equity financing and
therefore do not include interest payments. The Company's actual future cash
requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs associated
with the construction and deployment of the satellite system and the rate of
growth of its business subsequent to commencing service.  Additional funds
would be required in the event of delay, cost overruns, launch failure, launch
services or satellite system change orders, or any shortfalls in estimated
levels of operating cash flow, or to meet unanticipated expenses, or if the FCC
applies auction requirements to the FCC License.

         The Company anticipates funding its projected cash requirements
through the completion of additional debt and equity financings.  The Company
does not have its financing commitments in place and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at
all, or that it will be able to do so on a timely basis.
