                    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 an FCC license (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 $414,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The
Company received $237,000 in the quarter in connection with the exercise of
stock options and warrants.  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 $1,204,000 and $949,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $687,000 and $516,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Company's
total operating expenses were $1,239,000 and $1,020,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and were $702,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $547,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1995.  These levels of expenditures reflect reduced Company activity and
are expected to remain at relatively low levels until the FCC License is
received.





                                       5
   8
         Legal, consulting and regulatory fees increased for the six months
ended  June 30, 1996 to $575,000 from $409,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1995 and were $347,000 and $220,000 for the three months ended June 30 ,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase was the result of a rise in
regulatory activity during the second quarter of 1996.

         Research and development costs were $52,000 and $58,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $25,000 and $31,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  This level of
research and development cost was the result of the Company completing the
majority of such activities in 1994.

         Other general and administrative expenses increased for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 to $612,000 from $553,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995, and were $330,000 and $296,000 for the three month periods end June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  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 $160,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 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 $45,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, from $81,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1995, and to
$20,000 from $36,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, was the result of a higher average cash balance during the first
half 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 June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately
$1,293,000, compared to $1,741,000 at December 31, 1995.  The reduction in
working capital represents the Company's use of cash for operating expenses
during 1996.  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 second 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.





                                       6

         The Company believes that it is likely that the FCC will choose to
auction any S-band spectrum that may be allocated to satellite radio.  The
Company's estimated cash requirements, however, do not include any amounts that
the Company may be required to pay to receive an FCC License in the event that
the FCC determines to auction any spectrum that may be allocated.  There can be
no assurance that the Company would be a successful bidder in any FCC auction
of S-band spectrum, and the Company is unable to predict the amount that the
Company may be required to pay to receive an FCC License if the Company were a 
successful bidder at any such auction.

         Upon receipt of the FCC License, the Company intends to seek
additional financing through further debt and equity financings.  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 second half of 1996, that the
Effective Date occurs upon receipt of the FCC License and that operation of CD
Radio commences in the first half of 1999, and do not include the price that
the Company may be required to pay to receive the FCC License in the event that
the Company is a successful bidder in an FCC auction of S-band spectrum.  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.

Item 5.         Other Information

                     On August 2, 1996, a bill was introduced before the House
                of Representatives of the Congress of the United States that
                would, among other things, terminate the authority of the
                Federal Communications Commission to provide preferential
                treatment in licensing procedures under the pioneer preference
                program.  There can be no assurance that the proposed
                legislation will be enacted in its present form or at all, and
                the Company is unable to predict the effect that such enactment
                would have upon the Company.
