permit public sales of the shares, and the selling stockholders may offer the
shares for resale from time to time. See "Plan of Distribution." The selling
stockholders may offer all, some or none of the common stock listed below.
The table below sets forth the names of the selling stockholders and the number
of shares owned, directly and beneficially, by such stockholders as of January

each person listed in the table has informed Motient that such person has (1)
voting and investment power with respect to such person's shares of common stock
and (2) record and beneficial ownership with respect to such person's shares of

stockholders will sell 28,960,418 shares of our common stock, or 35.7% of
Motient's common stock outstanding as of February 9, 2005. Share ownership does

DESCRIPTION OF MOTIENT'S SECURITIES
Since May 1, 2002, the effective date of our plan of reorganization, we have
been governed by our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which provides for
one hundred five million (105,000,000) shares of authorized capital stock,
consisting of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, and five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock,
par value $.01 per share. In accordance with Section 1123(a)(6) of the
Bankruptcy Code, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation prohibits the
issuance of any shares of non-voting securities. The following summary
description of our capital stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to
our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, a
copy of each of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part.
Common Stock
We may issue up to one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of common stock. As
of February 9, 2005, 64,768,286 shares of common stock were outstanding. The
common stock has the following terms:
o The outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and
non-assessable.
o Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share for each
share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders and are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may
be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available
therefor.
o After satisfaction of the dividend rights of holders of any
outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock will be entitled
to any dividend declared by the board of directors out of funds
legally available for this purpose. However, it is not anticipated
that any cash dividends will be paid on the common stock for the
foreseeable future.
o Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Motient, holders of
common stock will have the right to a ratable portion of assets
remaining after payment of liabilities and any payments due to holders
of outstanding preferred stock;
o The holders of common stock have no preemptive rights; and
o The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock may
be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any
series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the
future.
Preferred Stock
We may issue up to five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock in one or
more series. Our board of directors may issue such preferred stock, and
designate the terms thereof (including with respect to voting rights, dividends,
liquidation preferences and conversion rights), without the need for stockholder
approval. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and there are no
agreements or understandings for the designation of any series of preferred
stock or the issuance of shares thereunder. The existence of authorized but
unissued preferred stock may enable our board to render more difficult or to
discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender
offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
Foreign Ownership Restrictions
Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, non-U.S. citizens or their
representatives, foreign governments or their representatives, or corporations
organized under the laws of a foreign country may not own, in the aggregate,
more than 20% of a common carrier licensee or more than 25% of the parent of a
common carrier licensee if the FCC determines that the public interest would be
served by prohibiting this ownership. Additionally, the FCC's rules may under
some conditions limit the size of investments by foreign telecommunications
carriers in U.S. international carriers.
102
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, a
corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents and its
former directors, officers, employees and agents and those who serve, at the
corporation's request, in such capacities with another enterprise, against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, as well as judgments, fines and settlements
in nonderivative lawsuits, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they or any of them were
or are made parties or are threatened to be made parties by reason of their
serving or having served in such capacity. The DGCL provides, however, that such
person must have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and,
in the case of a criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not
permit indemnification in an action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation,
unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly
and reasonably is entitled to indemnity for costs the court deems proper in
light of liability adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim,
issue or matter has been successfully defended.
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of Motient
shall be personally liable for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any
repeal or modification of such provision shall not adversely affect any right or
protection, or any limitation of the liability of, a director of Motient
existing at, or arising out of facts or incidents occurring prior to, the
effective date of such repeal or modification. Both our Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that
further provide for the indemnification of directors and officers in accordance
with and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Additionally, Motient has entered into indemnification agreements with certain
of its directors and officers which may, in certain cases, be broader than the
specific indemnification provisions contained under current applicable law. The
indemnification agreements may require Motient, among other things, to indemnify
such officers, directors and key personnel against certain liabilities that may
arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees
of Motient and to advance the expenses incurred by such parties as a result of
any threatened claims or proceedings brought against them as to which they could
be indemnified.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is EquiServe Trust
Company, N.A., 250 Royal St., Canton, MA 02021.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could
adversely affect our common stock's prevailing market price, assuming an
established trading market for our common stock develops. As of February 9,
2005, we had outstanding 64,768,836 shares of our common stock. Approximately
35,807,868 of these shares are freely tradable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act, if they are held by persons other than
"affiliates" of Motient, as defined under the Securities Act. We believe that
15,186,636 shares of our common stock are held, or will be held, by holders who
may be affiliates. In addition, we have issued approximately 28,960,418 shares
of restricted common stock, which are not registered and may not be traded by
any holder of such stock absent an exemption from the Securities Act until
registered. All of the shares offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus may
be sold pursuant to this prospectus under the Securities Act, and will
thereafter be freely tradable so long as they are not held by affiliates or
underwriters. If the selling stockholders sell a large number of shares into the
public market at one time, such sales could have an adverse effect on the market
price of the common stock. We are not aware of any shares held by affiliates not
being offered for sale under this prospectus. If any such shares exist, these
shares may be sold under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
Rule 144 permits sales by a holder within any three-month period of a number of
shares that does not exceed the greater of: (1) 1% of the number of shares of
common stock then outstanding or (2) the average weekly trading volume of the
common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on
Form 144 with respect to those sales. Sales under Rule 144 are also governed by
manner of sale provisions and notice requirements, and current public
information about Motient must be available.
Also, we have issued certain parties warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to
8,808,087 shares of our common stock. The table below sets forth certain
relevant terms of these warrants.

(1) The warrants issued to the purchasers of our common stock in the
November 12, 2004 and February 9, 2005 private placements have not yet
vested and may never vest. Such warrants will vest if and only if we
fail to meet certain conditions regarding the registration of the
shares sold in the private placements. The first such condition was
the filing of this registration statement. The remaining conditions
involve the timing of the effectiveness of this registration
statement. None of the shares underlying these warrants are being
registered pursuant to this registration statement, and are not
included in the total.
(2) We have reserved 2,993,024 shares of common stock for issuance under
our 2002 stock option plan. Such shares are not being registered
pursuant to this registration statement.
105
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Motient has registered the shares offered by this prospectus on behalf of the
selling stockholders, and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
shares by the selling stockholders, although we will receive proceeds from the
exercise of our various outstanding warrants to the extent they are exercised.
These shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling
stockholders and any of their respective transferees, assignees, donees,
distributees, pledgees or other successors in interest, all of whom we
collectively refer to in this prospectus as "selling stockholders." The selling
stockholders may sell their shares at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices,
or at fixed prices or in competitively bid transactions, which may be changed.
Each selling stockholder reserves the right to accept or reject, in whole or in
part, any proposed purchase of shares, whether the purchase is to be made
directly or through agents.
The selling stockholders may offer their shares at various times in one or more
of the following transactions:
o in ordinary brokers' transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
o in transactions involving cross or block trades;
o in transactions "at the market" to or through market makers in the
common stock or into an existing market for the common stock;
o in other ways not involving market makers or established trading
markets, including direct sales of the shares to purchasers or sales
of the shares effected through agents;
o through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives which may
or may not be listed on an exchange;
o in privately negotiated transactions;
o in transactions to cover short sales;
o in underwritten transactions; or
o in a combination of any of the foregoing transactions.
The selling stockholders also may sell all or a portion of their shares in open
market transactions in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act
provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that
rule.
From time to time, one or more of the selling stockholders may pledge or grant a
security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them. If the selling
stockholders default in performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees
or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time by this
prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate shares in
other circumstances. The number of shares beneficially owned by selling
stockholders will decrease as and when the selling stockholders transfer or
donate their shares or default in performing obligations secured by their
shares. The plan of distribution for the shares offered and sold under this
prospectus will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, donees,
pledgees, other secured parties or other successors in interest will be selling
stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.
106
A selling stockholder may sell short the common stock. The selling stockholder
may deliver this prospectus in connection with such short sales and use the
shares offered by this prospectus to cover such short sales.
A selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers.
The broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the common stock in the course
of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholder, including
positions assumed in connection with distributions of the shares by such
broker-dealers. A selling stockholder also may enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of shares to the
broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares. In
addition, a selling stockholder may loan or pledge shares to a broker-dealer,
which may sell the loaned shares or, upon a default by the selling stockholder
of the secured obligation, may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged shares.
The selling stockholders may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents to
sell their shares. The persons acting as agents may receive compensation in the
form of commissions, discounts or concessions. This compensation may be paid by
the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the shares of whom such persons
may act as agent, or to whom they may sell as principal, or both. The
compensation as to a particular person may be less than or in excess of
customary commissions. The selling stockholders and any agents or broker-dealers
that participate with the selling stockholders in the offer and sale of the
shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities
Act. Any commissions they receive and any profit they realize on the resale of
the shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act. Neither we nor any selling stockholders can presently
estimate the amount of such compensation.
Motient has advised the selling stockholders that during such time as they may
be engaged in a distribution of the shares, they are required to comply with
Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act. With some exceptions, Regulation
M prohibits any selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers and other persons
who participate in such a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or
attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is
the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
Under Motient's registration rights agreement with certain of the selling
stockholders, Motient is required to bear the expenses relating to this
offering, excluding any underwriting discounts and fees, brokerage and sales
commissions, and stock transfer taxes relating to the sale or disposition of the
shares.
Motient has agreed to indemnify certain of the selling stockholders and their
respective controlling persons against some liabilities, including some
liabilities under the Securities Act.
It is possible that a significant number of shares could be sold at the same
time. Such sales, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely
affect prevailing market prices for the common stock.
This offering by any selling stockholder will terminate on the date on which the
selling stockholder has sold all of such selling stockholder's shares.
107
LEGAL MATTERS
For the purposes of this offering, Robert Macklin, the general counsel of
Motient has given his opinion as to the validity of the shares of common stock
offered by the selling stockholders. As of January 31, 2005, Mr. Macklin held
options to purchase 35,619 shares of common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Motient Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Motient
Corporation (a Delaware Corporation) and Subsidiaries (together the "Company")
as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 (Successor Company), and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 (Successor Company), the
eight months ended December 31, 2002 (Successor Company), the four months ended
April 30, 2002 (Predecessor Company) and the year ended December 31, 2001
(Predecessor Company). Our audits also included the financial statement schedule
listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Motient Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and
2002 (Successor Company) and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 (Successor Company), the eight months
ended December 31, 2002 (Successor Company), the four months ended April 30,
2002 (Predecessor Company) and the year ended December 31, 2001 (Predecessor
Company), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

MOTIENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Motient Corporation (with its subsidiaries, "Motient" or the "Company") provides
two-way mobile communications services principally to business-to-business
customers and enterprises. Motient serves a variety of markets including mobile
professionals, telemetry, transportation and field service. Motient provides its
eLinkSM brand two-way wireless email services to customers accessing email
through corporate servers, Internet Service Providers, Mail Service Provider
accounts and paging network service providers. Motient also offers BlackBerry TM
by Motient, a wireless email solution developed by Research In Motion Ltd.
("RIM") and licensed to operate on Motient's network. BlackBerry TM by Motient
is designed for large corporate accounts operating in a Microsoft Exchange or
Lotus Notes environment. The Company considers the two-way mobile communications
service described in this paragraph to be its core wireless business.
Motient presently has six wholly-owned subsidiaries and a 29.5% interest in
Mobile Satellite Ventures LP (MSV). For further details regarding Motient's
interest in MSV, please see "Recent Developments - Mobile Satellite Ventures
LP". Motient Communications Inc. owns the assets comprising Motient's core
wireless business, except for Motient's Federal Communications Commission, or
FCC, licenses, which are held in a separate subsidiary, Motient License Inc.
Motient License was formed on March 16, 2004, as part of Motient's amendment of
its credit facility, and is a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary of Motient
Communications that holds all of the FCC licenses formerly held by Motient
Communications. A pledge of the stock of Motient License, along with other
assets of Motient Communications, secures borrowings under the term credit
facility. There are currently no borrowing outstanding under the term credit
facility. (Unaudited) For further details regarding the formation of Motient
License, please see Note 16 ("Subsequent Events"). Our other four subsidiaries
hold no material operating assets other than the stock of other subsidiaries and
Motient's interests in MSV. On a consolidated basis, we refer to Motient
Corporation and its six wholly-owned subsidiaries as "Motient."
Motient is devoting its efforts to expanding its core wireless business, while
also focusing on cost-cutting efforts. These efforts involve substantial risk.
Future operating results will be subject to significant business, economic,
regulatory, technical and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Depending
on their extent and timing, these factors, individually or in the aggregate,
could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and future
results of operations. In recent periods, certain factors have placed
significant pressures on Motient's financial condition and liquidity position.
These factors also have restrained Motient's ability to accelerate revenue
growth at the pace required to enable it to generate cash in excess of its
operating expenses. These factors include competition from other wireless data
suppliers and other wireless communications providers with greater resources,
cash constraints have limited Motient's ability to generate greater demand,
unanticipated technological and development delays and general economic factors.
Motient's results in recent periods, including the period covered by this
report, have also been hindered by the downturn in the economy and capital
markets. These factors contributed to the Company's decision in January 2002 to
file a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United
States Federal Bankruptcy Code. Motient's Plan of Reorganization was confirmed
on April 26, 2002 and became effective on May 1, 2002. Please see Note 2
("Significant Accounting Policies -- Motient's Chapter 11 Filing and Plan of
Reorganization and "Fresh-start" Accounting") below.
For a discussion of certain significant recent developments and trends in
Motient's business after the end of the period covered by this report, please
see Note 16 ("Subsequent Events"). As discussed in more detail in Note 2
("Significant Accounting Policies"), the 2002 comparative financial statements
provided herein have been restated and have been audited by the Company's former
independent registered public accounting firm, Ehrenkrantz Sterling & Co. LLC,
predecessor-in-interest to Friedman LLP.
F-6
The financial results for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the financial
results for the period January 1, 2002 to April 30, 2002 are herein referred to
as Predecessor Company results and the financial results for the period May 1,
2002 to December 31, 2002, the year ended December 31, 2003 and the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 (unaudited) included herein are referred to as
Successor Company results. Due to the effects of the "fresh-start" accounting,
results for the periods defined above are not comparable to periods beginning
after May 1, 2002. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have
been made.
XM Radio
XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. ("XM Radio"), a public company that launched
its satellite radio service at the end of 2001, was incorporated on December 15,
1992 for the purpose of procuring a digital audio radio service license. As of
December 31, 2000, Motient had an equity interest of approximately 33.1% (or
21.3% on a fully diluted basis) in XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. ("XM
Radio"), and Motient controlled XM Radio through its board of director
membership and common stock voting rights. In January 2001, pursuant to FCC
approval authorizing Motient to relinquish control of XM Radio, the number of
directors appointed by the Company to XM Radio's Board of Directors was reduced
to less than 50% of XM Radio directors, and the Company converted a portion of
its super-voting Class B Common Stock of XM Radio to Class A Common Stock. As a
result, the Company ceased to control XM Radio.
Throughout 2001, Motient disposed of its equity interest in XM Radio, and as of
November 19, 2001, Motient did not hold any interest in XM Radio. For the period
from January 1, 2001 through November 19, 2001, the Company accounted for its
investment in XM Radio pursuant to the equity method of accounting.
Mobile Satellite Ventures LP
On June 29, 2000, the Company formed a joint venture subsidiary, Mobile
Satellite Ventures LP (formerly known as Mobile Satellite Ventures LLC) ("MSV"),
in which it owned, until November 26, 2001, 80% of the membership interests, in
order to conduct research and development activities. In June 2000, the other
20% interest in MSV was purchased by three investors unrelated to Motient. The
minority investors had certain participating rights which provided for their
participation in certain business decisions that were made in the normal course
of business; therefore, in accordance with EITF No 96-16, "Investor's Accounting
for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the
Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights", the
Company's investment in MSV has been recorded for all periods presented in the
consolidated financial statements pursuant to the equity method of accounting.
On November 26, 2002, Motient's interest in MSV was reduced to approximately
48%. As of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, Motient held a 29.5% interest
in MSV on a fully-diluted basis. Please see Note 13 ("Business Acquisitions and
Dispositions - MSV"). For additional information regarding MSV, please see the
financial statements of MSV beginning on page M-0. (Unaudited)
Network Offerings: T-Mobile/Verizon Wireless
On March 1, 2003, Motient entered into a national premier dealer agreement with
T-Mobile USA, and, on May 21, 2003, Motient entered into an authorized agency
agreement with Verizon Wireless. These agreements allowed Motient to sell each
of T-Mobile's third generation global system for GSM/GPRS network subscriptions
and Verizon's third generation CDMA/1XRTT network subscriptions nationwide.
Motient was paid for each subscriber put onto either network. Each agreement
allowed Motient to actively sell and promote wireless email and wireless
Internet applications to enterprise accounts on networks with greater capacity
and speed, and that are voice capable. Please see Note 16 ("Subsequent Events")
for information regarding the termination of these agreements. (Unaudited)
F-7
Effects of the Chapter 11 Filing and Emergence
As a result of the Company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, the Company saw a
slower adoption rate for its services during the first quarter of 2002. In a
large customer deployment, the upfront cost of the hardware can be significant.
Because the hardware generally is usable only on Motient's network, certain
customers delayed adoption while Motient was in Chapter 11.
Additionally, certain of the Company's trade creditors required either deposits
for future services or shortened payment terms; however, none of these deposits
or changes in payment terms were material, and none of the Company's key
suppliers has ceased to do business with the Company as a result of its
reorganization.
Since emerging from bankruptcy protection in May 2002, the Company has
undertaken a number of actions to reduce its operating expenses and cash burn
rate. The Company's liquidity constraints have been exacerbated by weak revenue
growth since emerging from bankruptcy protection, due to a number of factors
including the weak economy generally and the weak telecommunications and
wireless sector specifically, the financial difficulty of several of its key
resellers, on whom it relies for a majority of its new revenue growth, and its
continued limited liquidity which has hindered efforts at demand generation.
Management and Board Changes
On January 17, 2003, David Engvall resigned as senior vice president, general
counsel and secretary.
On March 18, 2003, Brandon Stranzl resigned from the Board of Directors.
On April 17, 2003, the board of directors elected Christopher W. Downie to the
position of Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Mr. Downie
had previously been a consultant with CTA, working on Motient matters, since May
2002.
On June 20, 2003, Jared Abbruzzese resigned his position as Chairman of the
Board. Steven Singer was elected Chairman of the Board and a new director, Peter
Aquino, was elected to the Board. Mr. Aquino was a senior managing director for
CTA.
For additional information on management and board changes for periods after
this report, please see Note 16, "Subsequent Events".
Change in Accountants
On May 31, 2002, the Company dismissed Arthur Anderson as its independent
auditors. On July 10, 2002, the Company engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers as its
independent auditors.
On April 17, 2003, the Company dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers as its
independent auditors, effective upon the completion of services related to the
audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the period May 1,
2002 to December 31, 2002. On March 2, 2004, Motient dismissed
PricewaterhouseCoopers as its independent auditors effective immediately. The
audit committee of the Company's board approved the dismissal.
On April 25, 2003, the Company's Board approved the engagement of Ehrenkrantz
Sterling & Co. LLC as its independent registered public accounting firm to (i)
re-audit the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, and (ii)
audit the Company's consolidated financial statements for the interim period
from January 1, 2002 to April 30, 2002, and the fiscal year that ended on
December 31, 2003.
For additional information on changes in accountants for periods after this
report, please see Note 16, ("Subsequent Events").
F-8
Cost Reduction Actions
Predecessor Company Reductions in Workforce. On September 26, 2001, the Company
announced a plan to restructure its business. As part of this restructuring, the
Company laid off 25% of its workforce, or 50, 22 and 13 employees in the
Company's operations, sales and marketing and general and administrative
functions, respectively, and cancelled certain of its product initiatives. The
Company recorded a restructuring charge in 2001 of $4.74 million. This charge
represents $1.6 million of costs directly associated with employee severance
packages, $3.0 million of costs associated with product initiative cancellations
and $0.1 million of costs associated with capital assets that were no longer in
service. Of the $4.7 million charge, approximately $1.7 million represented cash
outlays made over the last quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. The
balance represents the write down of assets previously acquired. As of December
31, 2001, the Company had a remaining operational restructuring liability of
approximately $0.6 million, which was fully utilized in 2002.
Successor Company Reductions in Workforce. The Company undertook reductions in
its workforce in July 2002, September 2002, March 2003 and February 2004. These
actions eliminated approximately 29% (95 employees), 13% (26 employees), 10% (19
employees) and 32.5% (54 employees), respectively, of its then-remaining
workforce. In the aggregate, the Company has reduced its work force by
approximately 68% since July 2002 and reduced employee and related expenditures
by approximately $1.5 million per month.
Network Rationalization. The Company is in the process of analyzing its wireless
data network in a coordinated effort to reduce network operating costs. One
aspect of this rationalization encompasses reducing unneeded capacity across the
network by deconstructing under-utilized and unprofitable base stations. In
certain instances, the geographic area that the network serves may be reduced by
this process. The full extent of the changes to network coverage have yet to be
determined.
Frame Relay and Tandem Equipment Retirement. In conjunction with our base
station rationalization initiatives discussed above, Motient is in the process
of converting its telecommunications infrastructure technology to frame relay
technology. As of September 30, 2004, this project was approximately 80%
complete. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we retired certain network equipment
associated with this conversion. We expect to realize significant
telecommunications cost reductions in 2005 as a result of this conversion.
(Unaudited)
Closure of Reston, VA Facility. On July 15, 2003, the Company substantially
completed the transfer of its headquarters from Reston, VA to Lincolnshire, IL,
where it already had a facility. This action reduced the Company's monthly
operating expenses by a net amount of approximately $65,000 per month, or
$780,000 per year.
Refinancing of Vendor Obligations. During the fourth quarter of 2002 and the
first quarter of 2003, the Company renegotiated several of its key vendor and
customer arrangements in order to reduce recurring expenses and improve its
liquidity position. In some cases, the Company was able to negotiate a flat rate
reduction for continuing services provided to it by its vendors or a deferral of
payable amounts, and in other cases the Company renegotiated the scope of
services provided in exchange for reduced rates or received pre-payments for
future services. The Company continues to aggressively pursue further vendor
cost reductions where opportunities arise.
F-9
In the case of financing arrangements, the Company negotiated, among other
things, a deferral of approximately $2.6 million of accounts payable that was
owed for services provided for which the Company issued a promissory note for
such amount, with the note to be paid off ratably over a two-year period
beginning in January 2004. The Company also restructured certain of its vendor
and capital lease obligations to significantly reduce the monthly amortization
requirements of these facilities on an on-going basis. As part of such
negotiations, the Company agreed to fund a letter of credit in twelve monthly
installments during 2003, in the aggregate amount of $1.125 million, to secure
certain payment obligations. This letter of credit will be released to Motient
in fifteen monthly installments beginning in July 2004, assuming no defaults
have occurred or are occurring. In March, 2004, Motient further restructured its
vendor financing facility and an outstanding promissory note to the same vendor
by extending the repayment schedule, thereby reducing the combined monthly
amortization requirements under these facilities. In June 2004, the Company
negotiated settlements of its obligations, promissory notes and capital lease,
and terminated these obligations and leases. On July 15, 2004, the Company paid
all principal and interest due and owing on its notes payable to Rare Medium and
CSFB, in the aggregate amount of $23.5 million. (Unaudited) Please see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations"--Liquidity and Capital Resources - Summary of Liquidity and
Financing" for further details on these facilities. For more information on
these events, please see Note 16, ("Subsequent Events").
UPS Revenue
On December 1, 2002, Motient entered into a letter agreement with UPS under
which UPS agreed to make a series of eight prepayments to Motient totaling $5
million for future services Motient is obligated to provide after January 1,
2004. In addition to any other rights it has under its network services
agreement with Motient, the letter agreement does not contain any minimum
purchase requirement and provides that UPS may terminate the network services
agreement, in whole or in part, by providing 30 days' notice to Motient at which
point any remaining prepayment would be required to be returned. As of July 31,
2003, all eight prepayments had been made. The $5 million prepayment is credited
against airtime services provided to UPS beginning January 1, 2004, until the
prepayment is fully credited.
UPS, the Company's largest customer as of December 31, 2002, has substantially
completed its migration to next generation network technology as of July 2003,
and its monthly airtime usage of the Company's network has declined
significantly in the last six months of 2003. UPS was our second largest
customer for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 and our eighth largest
customer for the three months ended December 31, 2003. While the Company expects
that UPS will remain a customer for the foreseeable future, the bulk of UPS'
units have migrated to another network. As of December 31, 2003, UPS had
approximately 7,120 active units on Motient's network.
Until June 2003, UPS had voluntarily maintained its historical level of payments
to mitigate the near-term revenue and cash flow impact of its recent and
anticipated continued reduced network usage. However, beginning in July 2003,
the revenues and cash flow from UPS declined significantly. Also, due to the
arrangement entered into in 2002 under which UPS prepaid for network airtime to
be used by it in 2004, the Company does not expect that UPS will be required to
make any cash payments to the Company in 2004 for service to be provided in
2004. Pursuant to such agreement, and, as of May 31, 2004, UPS has not been
required to make any cash payments to the Company in 2004, and the value of the
Company's remaining airtime service obligations to UPS in respect of the
prepayment was approximately $4.3 million. The Company is planning a number of
initiatives to offset the loss of revenue and cash flow from UPS, including the
following:
o further reductions in the Company's employee and network infrastructure
costs;
o actions to grow new revenue from the Company's carrier relationships
with Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile, under which the Company will be
selling voice and data services on such carrier's next generation
wireless networks as a master agent;
o actions to grow revenue from the Company's various telemetry
applications and initiatives; and
o enhancements to the Company's liquidity which are expected to involve
the sale of unneeded frequency assets, such as the sales of certain
Specialized Mobile Radio ("SMR") licenses to Nextel.
F-10
Despite these initiatives, Motient continues to be cash flow negative, and there
can be no assurances that we will ever be cash flow positive.
Liquidity and Financing Requirements
The Company's future financial performance will depend on its ability to
continue to reduce and manage operating expenses, as well as its ability to grow
revenue. The Company's future financial performance could be negatively affected
by unforeseen factors and unplanned expenses.
The Company expects to continue to require significant additional funds before
it begins to generate cash in excess of its operating expenses, and does not
expect to generate cash from operations in excess of its operating costs until
the fourth quarter of 2005, at the earliest. Also, even if the Company begins to
generate cash in excess of its operating expenses, it expects to continue to
require significant additional funds to meet remaining interest obligations,
capital expenditures and other non-operating cash expenses.
In March 2004, the Company amended its term credit facility. As of June 25,
2004, the Company had borrowed $6.8 million under this term credit facility, all
of which has been repaid and may not be reborrowed. On December 31, 2004, the
Company's amended term credit facility expired. (Unaudited) All amounts borrowed
under the facility have been repaid. (Unaudited) The Company continues to pursue
all potential funding alternatives. Among the alternatives for raising
additional funds are the issuances of debt or equity securities, other
borrowings under secured or unsecured loan arrangements and sales of assets.
There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available to the Company
on acceptable terms or in a timely manner. In April 2004, the Company sold
4,215,910 shares of its common stock for aggregate consideration of $23.2
million in a private placement. In July 2004, the Company sold an additional
3,500,000 shares of its common stock for aggregate consideration of $30.0
million. In November 2004, the Company sold an additional 15,353,609 shares of
its common stock for aggregate consideration of $131.6 million. (Unaudited) For
additional information on these events, please see Note 16 ("Subsequent
Events").
The Company's projected cash requirements are based on certain assumptions about
its business model and projected growth rate, including, specifically, assumed
rates of growth in subscriber activations service revenue. While the Company
believes these assumptions are reasonable, these growth rates continue to be
difficult to predict and there is no assurance that the actual results that are
experienced will meet the assumptions included in the Company's business model
and projections. If the future results of operations are significantly less
favorable than currently anticipated, the Company's cash requirements will be
more than projected, and it may require additional financing in amounts that
will be material. The type, timing and terms of financing that the Company
obtains will be dependent upon its cash needs, the availability of financing
sources and the prevailing conditions in the financial markets. The Company
cannot guarantee that additional financing sources will be available at any
given time or available on favorable terms.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
On a consolidated basis, we refer to Motient Corporation and its six
wholly-owned subsidiaries as "Motient." All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
For the period from January 1, 2001, through November 19, 2001, the Company's
investment in XM Radio was recorded pursuant to the equity method of accounting.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, XM Radio recorded $0.5 million of revenue,
incurred $282.1 million of operating expenses and had a net loss attributable to
common stockholders of $307.5 million.
F-11
As noted above (please see Note 1, "Organization"), the results of MSV have been
accounted for pursuant to the equity method of accounting.
Motient's Chapter 11 Filing and Plan of Reorganization and "Fresh-Start"
Accounting
On October 1, 2001, the Company announced that it would not make a $20.5 million
semi-annual interest payment due on the Senior Notes on such date. On November
26, 2001, the Senior Notes trustee declared all amounts owed under the senior
notes immediately due and payable. Following these events, the Company
determined that the continued viability of its business required restructuring
its highly leveraged capital structure. In October 2001, the Company retained
Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB") as its financial advisor to assist in the
restructuring the Company's debt. Shortly thereafter, the Company and CSFB began
meeting with the principal creditor constituencies.
On January 10, 2002, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Company's Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization was filed
with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on
February 28, 2002. The cases were jointly administered under the case name "In
Re Motient Corporation, et. al.," Case No. 02-80125. The Company's Plan of
Reorganization was confirmed on April 26, 2002 and the Company's emergence from
bankruptcy became effective on May 1, 2002 (the "Effective Date"). The Company
adopted "fresh-start" accounting as of May 1, 2002 in accordance with procedures
specified by AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting
by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code." The Company determined
that its selection of May 1, 2002 versus April 26, 2002 for the "fresh-start"
date was more convenient for financial reporting purposes and that the results
for the period from April 26, 2002 to May 1, 2002 were immaterial to the
consolidated financial statements. All results for periods prior to the
Effective Date are referred to as those of the "Predecessor Company" and all
results for periods including and subsequent to the Effective Date are referred
to as those of the "Successor Company".
In accordance with SOP No. 90-7, the reorganized value of the Company was
allocated to the Company's assets based on procedures specified by SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations". Each liability existing at the plan confirmation date,
other than deferred taxes, was stated at the present value of the amounts to be
paid at appropriate market rates. It was determined that the Company's
reorganization value computed immediately before the Effective Date was $234
million. Subsequent to the determination of this value, the Company determined
that the reorganization value ascribed to MSV did not reflect certain preference
rights on liquidation available to certain equity holders in MSV. Therefore, the
reorganization value of MSV was reduced by $13 million and the Company's
reorganization value was reduced to $221 million. The Company adopted
"fresh-start" accounting because holders of existing voting shares immediately
before filing and confirmation of the plan received less than 50% of the voting
shares of the emerging entity and its reorganization value is less than its
postpetition liabilities and allowed claims, as shown below:
Postpetition current liabilities $49.9 million
Liabilities deferred pursuant to Chapter 11 Proceedings 401.1 million
--------------
Total postpetition liabilities and allowed claims 451.0 million
Reorganization value (221.0 million)
--------------
Excess of liabilities over reorganization value $(230.0 million)
===============

F-12
The reorganization value of Motient was determined by considering of several
factors and by reliance on various valuation methods. For the valuation of the
core wireless business, consideration was given to discounted cash flows and
price/earnings and other applicable ratios, a liquidation value analysis,
comparable company trading multiples and comparable acquisition multiple
analysis. The factors considered by Motient included the following:
o Forecasted operating cash flow results which gave effect to the
estimated impact of limitations on the use of available net operating
loss carryovers and other tax attributes resulting from the Plan of
Reorganization and other events,
o The discounted residual value at the end of the forecast period based
on the capitalized cash flows for the last year of that period,
o Market share and position,
o Competition and general economic considerations,
o Projected sales growth, and
o Working capital requirements.
For the valuation of the Company's investment in MSV, consideration was given to
the valuation of MSV's equity reflected by recent arms-length investments in
MSV, subsequently adjusted as discussed above.
After consideration of the Company's debt capacity, and after extensive
negotiations among parties in interest, it was agreed that Motient's
reorganization capital structure should be as follows:
Notes payable to Rare Medium and CSFB $19.8 million
Shareholders' Equity 201.2 million
-------------
$221.0 million
==============
|
The Company allocated the $221.0 million reorganization value among its net
assets based upon its current estimates of the fair value of its assets. In the
case of current assets, with the exception of inventory, the Company concluded
that their carrying values approximated fair values. The values of the Company's
frequencies and its investment in and note receivable from MSV were based on
independent analyses presented to the bankruptcy court and subsequently adjusted
as discussed above. The value of the Company's fixed assets was based upon a
valuation of the Company's software and estimates of replacement cost for
network and other equipment, for which the Company believes that its recent
purchases represent a valid data point. The value of the Company's other
intangible assets was based on third party valuations as of May 1, 2002.
In February 2003, the Company engaged a financial advisory firm to prepare a
valuation of software and customer intangibles. Software and customer
intangibles were not taken into consideration when the original fresh-start
balance sheet was determined at May 1, 2002. The changes for the software and
customer contracts are reflected below and in the financial statements and notes
herein.
The effect of the plan of reorganization and application of "fresh-start"
accounting on the Predecessor Company's balance sheet as of April 30, 2002, is

$22,142, since there is no obligation to provide future service
post-"fresh start".
(h) To record the cancellation of the Company's pre-reorganization equity
and to reverse the gain on extinguishment of debt of $183,725 and the
gain on fair market adjustment of $94,715.
(i) To record the valuation and resulting increase of customer intangibles
of approximately $11,501 and frequencies of $45,365. The reduction of
$4,981 is due to a write-off of goodwill. The reduction of property
and equipment relates to a subsequent reduction in the carrying value
of certain software from $4,942 to $3,389, reduction to inventory from
$8,194 to $3,842 to its net realizable value.
(j) The balances do not match the balances in the Company's Plan of
Reorganization due to subsequent re-audit adjustments.
Under the Plan of Reorganization, all then-outstanding shares of the Company's
pre-reorganization common stock and all unexercised options and warrants to
purchase the Company's pre-reorganization common stock were cancelled. The
holders of $335 million in senior notes exchanged their notes for 25,000,000
shares of the Company's new common stock. Certain of the Company's other
creditors received an aggregate of 97,256 shares of the Company's new common
F-15
stock in settlement for amounts owed to them. These shares were issued following
completion of the bankruptcy claims process; however, the value of these shares
has been recorded in the financial statements as if they had been issued on the
effective date of the reorganization. Holders of the Company's
pre-reorganization common stock received warrants to purchase an aggregate of
approximately 1,496,512 shares of common stock. The warrants expired May 1,
2004, or two years after the Effective Date. The warrants were exerciseable to
purchase shares of Motient common stock at a price of $.01 per share only if and
when the average closing price of Motient's common stock over a period of ninety
consecutive trading days was equal to or greater than $15.44 per share.
Motient's common stock did not trade at this level from May 1, 2002 to May 1,
2004. All warrants issued to the holders of the Company's pre-reorganization
common stock, including those shares held by the Company's 401(k) savings plan,
have been recorded in the financial statements as if they had been issued on the
effective date of the reorganization. Also, in July 2002, Motient issued to
Evercore, financial advisor to the creditors' committee in Motient's
reorganization, a warrant to purchase up to 343,450 shares of common stock, at
an exercise price of $3.95 per share. The warrant was dated May 1, 2002, and has
a term of five years. If the average closing price of Motient's common stock for
thirty consecutive trading days is equal to or greater than $20.00, Motient may
require Evercore to exercise the warrant, provided the common stock is then
trading in an established public market. The value of this warrant has been
recorded in the financial statements as if it had been issued on May 1, 2002.

Further details regarding the plan are contained in Motient's Disclosure
Statement with respect to the plan, which was filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the
Company's current report on Form 8-K dated March 4, 2002.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The Company's most significant estimates relate to the valuation of
its net assets and assets in "fresh-start" accounting, the valuation on its
investment in MSV, the valuation of inventory, the allowance for doubtful
accounts receivable, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the realizability
of long-lived assets.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original or remaining
maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Short-term Investments
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original or remaining
maturities at the time of purchase of between three months and a year to be
short-term investments.
F-16
Restricted Investments
At December 31, 2003, the Company had $1.6 million of restricted investments. At
December 31, 2002, the Company had $0.6 million of restricted investments. The
securities included in restricted investments were classified as
held-to-maturity under the provision of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". The Company classified restricted
investment amounts which would mature within one year as current assets in the
accompanying balance sheet. The Company accounted for these investments at their
amortized cost.
Inventory
Inventory, which consists primarily of communication devices and accessories,
such as power supplies and documentation kits, is stated at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company
periodically assesses the market value of its inventory, based on sales trends
and forecasts and technological changes and records a charge to current period
income when such factors indicate that a reduction to net realizable value is
appropriate. The Company considers both inventory on hand and inventory which it
has committed to purchase, if any. The Company recorded inventory write-downs to
cost of equipment sold to reduce inventory amounts to its net realizable value,
in the amount of $0.2 million in 2003 and $4.4 million in 2002.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires
disclosures of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying
amount for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts
receivable, non-trade receivables included in other assets, accounts payable and
accrued expenses, and deferred revenues approximates their fair values. For debt
issues that are not quoted on an exchange, interest rates currently available to
the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are
used to estimate fair value. The fair value of the Company's equity investment
in MSV was determined by an independent third-party valuation performed in
November 2003 as part of Company's preparation of its December 31, 2002
financial statements. This same valuation methodology was utilized to value the
Company's equity interest in MSV as of December 31, 2003. The fair value of the
notes receivable from MSV approximates its carrying value as of December 31,
2003.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash, short term investments, and accounts
receivable. The Company periodically invests its cash balances in temporary or
overnight investments. The Company's short term investments included debt
securities such as commercial paper, time deposits, certificates of deposit,
bankers acceptances, and marketable direct obligations of the United States
Treasury.
To date, the majority of the Company's business has been transacted with
telecommunications, field services, natural resources, professional service and
transportation companies located throughout the United States. The Company
grants credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition,
generally without requiring collateral or deposits. Exposure to losses on trade
accounts receivable, for both service and for equipment sales, is principally
dependent on each customer's financial condition.
Motient's rights to use and sell the BlackBerryTM software and RIM's handheld
devices may be limited or made prohibitively expensive as a result of a patent
infringement lawsuit brought against RIM by NTP Inc. As a purchaser of those
products, Motient could be adversely affected by the outcome of that litigation.
Please see Note 14, "Legal and Regulatory Matters"
For the year ended December 31, 2003, five customers accounted for approximately
47% of the Company's service revenue, with two of those customers, SkyTel and
UPS, each accounting for more than 11% of the Company's service revenue. As of
December 31, 2003, no single customer accounted for more than 6% of the
Company's net accounts receivable.
For the four months ended April 30, 2002 and the eight months ended December 31,
2002, SkyTel and UPS accounted for approximately 11% and 16%, respectively, and
15% and 18%, respectively of the Company's service revenue. As of December 31,
2002, SkyTel represented approximately 14% of the Company's net receivables, all
of which was current.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, revenue from the MSV research and
development efforts accounted for approximately 9% of the Company's service
revenue. Excluding revenue earned from MSV, six other customers accounted for
approximately 41% of the Company's service revenue, with one customer
individually accounting for more than 10% of such revenue.
The revenue attributable to such customers varies with the level of network
airtime usage consumed by such customers, and none of the service contracts with
such customers requires that the customers use any specified quantity of network
airtime, nor do such contracts specify any minimum level of revenue. There can
be no assurance that the revenue generated from these customers will continue in
future periods.

Software Development Costs
During 1998, the Company adopted SOP No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." As of December 31,
2003 and 2002, net capitalized internal use software costs were $1.3 million and
$4.0 million, respectively, are included in property and equipment in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over three years.

The Company generates revenue through equipment sales, airtime service
agreements and consulting services. In 2000, the Company adopted SAB No. 101,
which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of
revenue in financial statements. In certain circumstances, SAB No. 101 requires
the Company to defer the recognition of revenue and costs related to equipment
sold as part of a service agreement.
In December 2003, the Staff of the SEC issued SAB No. 104, "Revenue
Recognition", which supersedes SAB No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB No. 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance
contained in SAB No. 101 related to multiple-element revenue arrangements and to
rescind the SEC's "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked
Questions and Answers" ("FAQ") issued with SAB No. 101. Selected portions of the
FAQ have been incorporated into SAB No. 104. The adoption of SAB No. 104 will
not have a material impact on the Company's revenue recognition policies.
Revenue is recognized as follows:
Service revenue: Revenues from the Company's wireless services are recognized
when the services are performed, evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is
fixed and determinable and collectibility is probable. Service discounts and
incentives are recorded as a reduction of revenue when granted, or ratably over
a contract period. The Company defers any revenue and costs associated with
activation of a subscriber on the Company's network over an estimated customer
life of two years.
The Company packages airtime usage on its network that involves a wide variety
of volume packaging, anything from a 35 kilobytes per month plan up to unlimited
kilobyte usage per month, with various gradations in between. Discounts may be
applied when comparing one customer to another, and such service discounts are
recorded as a reduction of revenue when granted. The Company does not offer
incentives generally as part of its service offerings, however, if offered they
would be recorded as a reduction of revenue ratably over a contract period.
(Unaudited).
Service discounts and incentives are recorded as a reduction of revenue when
granted, or ratably over a contract period. The Company defers any revenue and
costs associated with activation of a subscriber on the Company's network over
an estimated customer life of two years. (Unaudited)
To date, the majority of the Company's business has been transacted with
telecommunications, field services, natural resources, professional service and
transportation companies located throughout the United States. The Company
grants credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition,
generally without requiring collateral or deposits. The Company establishes a
valuation allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for bad debt and other
credit adjustments. Valuation allowances for revenue credits are established
through a charge to revenue, while valuation allowances for bad debts are
established through a charge to general and administrative expenses. The Company
assesses the adequacy of these reserves quarterly, evaluating factors such as
the length of time individual receivables are past due, historical collection
experience, the economic environment and changes in credit worthiness of the
Company's customers. If circumstances related to specific customers change or
economic conditions worsen such that the Company's past collection experience
and assessments of the economic environment are no longer relevant, the
Company's estimate of the recoverability of its trade receivables could be
further reduced.
Equipment and service sales: The Company sells equipment to resellers who market
its terrestrial product and airtime service to the public. The Company also
sells its product directly to end-users. Revenue from the sale of the equipment,
as well as the cost of the equipment, are initially deferred and are recognized
over a period corresponding to the Company's estimate of customer life of two
years. Equipment costs are deferred only to the extent of deferred revenue.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had capitalized a total of $4.5
million and $4.4 million of deferred equipment revenue, respectively, and had
deferred equipment costs of $4.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred and totaled $6.6 million
in 2003, $4.3 million for the eight months ended December 31, 2002 and $2.5
million for the four months ended April 30, 2002 and $10.0 million in 2001. In
2001, a portion of the advertising costs associated with certain of the
Company's Internet promotions, were prepaid in the form of warrants to acquire
common stock issued by the Company, valued at $4.8 million. The warrants were
expensed as the associated page views were delivered. The Company recognized
advertising expense associated with the warrants issued for this Internet
promotion in the amount of $1.4 million in 2001. In September 2001, the Company
cancelled the Internet promotion, and the $2.9 million of remaining prepaid
advertising was written off.
Stock-Based Compensation
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which
establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation
plans, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No.25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" for recognizing stock-based
compensation expense for financial statement purposes. For companies that choose
to continue applying the intrinsic value method, SFAS No. 123 mandates certain
pro forma disclosures as if the fair value method had been utilized. The Company
accounts for stock based compensation to consultants in accordance with EITF
96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" and
SFAS No. 123.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement
No.123", which provides optional transition guidance for those companies
electing to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123. In
addition, SFAS No. 148 mandates certain new disclosures that are incremental to
those required by SFAS No. 123. The Company continued to account for stock-based
compensation in accordance with APB No. 25.
The following table illustrates the effect on income (loss) attributable to
common stockholders and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the
fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee
compensation.

Options to purchase 1,631,025 shares, 1,757,513 shares, and 633,719 (unaudited)
of the Company's common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2002, December
31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, respectively, under the Company's 2002 Stock
Option Plan. Options to purchase 2,683,626 shares of the Predecessor Company's
stock were outstanding at April 30, 2002. These options were cancelled as part
of the Company's reorganization.
In March 2003, the Company's board of directors approved the reduction in the
exercise price of all of the outstanding stock options from $5.00 per share to
$3.00 per share. The repricing requires that all options be accounted for in
accordance with variable plan accounting, under which the value of these options
are measured at their intrinsic value and any change in that value is charged to
the income statement each quarter based on the difference (if any) between the
intrinsic value and the then-current market value of the common stock. The other
options are accounted for as a fixed plan and in accordance with intrinsic value
accounting, which requires that the excess of the market price of stock over the
exercise price of the options, if any, at the time that both the exercise price
and the number of options are known be recorded as deferred compensation and
amortized over the option vesting period. For the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment of $(0.6)
million and $0.6 million respectively relating to these re-priced options.
In July 2003, the compensation and stock option committee of the Company's board
of directors, acting pursuant to the Company's 2002 stock option plan, granted
26 employees and officers options to purchase an aggregate of 470,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at a price of $5.15 per share. In September 2003, one
additional employee received a grant for 25,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at a price of $5.65 per share. One-half of each option grant vests with
the passage of time and the continued employment of the recipient, in three
equal increments, on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of
grant. The other half of each grant will either vest or be rescinded based on
the performance of the Company in 2004. If vested and not exercised, the options
will expire on the 10th anniversary of the date of grant. In August 2004, one
employee received a grant for 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of $5.15 per share. (Unaudited) In December 2004, the directors, one
employee and one consultant received options to purchase an aggregate of 195,000
shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $8.57 per share. (Unaudited)
These options were immediately exercisable. (Unaudited)
Assessment of Asset Impairment
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,"
which requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or their fair value less costs to sell. On
January 1, 2002, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supersedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of". The statement requires that all long-lived assets be measured at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported
in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued
F-22
operations will no longer be measured on a net realizable value basis and will
not include amounts for future operating losses. The statement also broadens the
reporting requirements for discontinued operations to include disposal
transactions of all components of an entity (rather than segments of a
business). Components of an entity include operations and cash flows that can be
clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity that will be eliminated from
the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. Subsequent to
the period covered by this report, we engaged a financial advisor to value
certain of our assets as of December 31, 2002, among other things, to test for
potential impairment of certain of our long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144.
This testing included valuations of software and customer-related intangibles.
Based on these tests, no recording of impairment charges was required. However,
we subsequently engaged this financial advisor to reevaluate the value of our
customer-related intangibles as of September 30, 2003 due primarily to the
decline in revenue from UPS in this time period. This valuation resulted in an
impairment of the customer-related intangibles of $5.5 million in the third
quarter of 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no other material impact on
our financial statements.
Deferred Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method as required in
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the liability method,
deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary
differences" by applying enacted statutory tax laws and rates applicable to
future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under this method, the effect
on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date. A valuation reserve is established for
deferred tax assets if the realization of such benefits cannot be sufficiently
assured.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost for the Predecessor Company and
adjusted for impairment, and includes "fresh-start" adjustments for the
Successor Company and depreciated over their useful life using the straight-line
method. All identifiable assets recognized in accordance with "fresh-start"
accounting were recorded at the effective date based upon independent appraisal.
Assets recorded as capital leases are amortized over the shorter of their useful
lives or the term of the lease. The estimated useful lives of office furniture
and equipment vary from two to ten years, and the network equipment is
depreciated over seven years. The Company has also capitalized certain costs to
develop and implement its computerized billing system. These costs are included
in property and equipment and are depreciated over three years. Repairs and
maintenance do not significantly increase the utility or useful life of an asset
and are expensed as incurred.
Segment Disclosures
In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information", the Company has one operating segment: its core
wireless business. Since January 1, 2001, the Company had one operating segment:
its core wireless business. The Company provides its core wireless business to
the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The following
summarizes the Company's core wireless business revenue by major market

The Company does not measure ultimate income or loss or track its assets by
these market categories.
(Loss) Per Share
Basic and diluted (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the
computation of loss per share as the effect would be antidilutive for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2001 and for the four and eight months ended April
30, 2002 and December 31, 2002, respectively. As a result, the basic and diluted
earnings per share amounts for all periods presented are the same. As of
September 30, 2004 and 2003, there were warrants to acquire 6,063,450 and
5,664,962, respectively, shares of common stock and options outstanding for
633,719 and 1,787,900, respectively, shares that were not included in this
calculation because of their antidilutive effect. (Unaudited) As of December 31,
2003, there were warrants to acquire approximately 5,664,962 shares of common
stock and 1,757,513 options outstanding that were not included in this
calculation because of their antidilutive effect. As of December 31, 2002, there
were warrants to acquire approximately 2,339,962 shares of common stock and
1,631,025 options outstanding that were not included in this calculation because
of their antidilutive effect. For the four months ended April 30, 2002, no
options or warrants had exercise prices in excess of the fair market value of
the Company's common stock and thus were not factored into the per share
calculation. As of December 31, 2001 there were options outstanding for
approximately 393,353 shares of common stock that were not included in this
calculation because of their antidilutive effect.
Derivatives
In April and July 2001, the Company sold notes to Rare Medium totaling $50
million. The notes were collateralized by up to 5,000,000 of the Company's XM
Radio shares, and, until maturity, which was extended until October 12, 2001,
Rare Medium had the option to exchange the notes for a number of XM Radio shares
equivalent to the principal of the note plus any accrued interest thereon (see
Note 8, "Debt and Capital Leases"). The Company determined the embedded call
options in the notes, which permitted Rare Medium to convert the borrowings into
shares of XM Radio, were derivatives which were accounted for in accordance with
SFAS No. 133 and accordingly recorded a gain in the amount of $1.5 million in
2001 related to the Rare Medium note call options. On October 12, 2001, the
embedded call options in the Rare Medium notes expired unexercised. The Rare
Medium note was cancelled and replaced by a new Rare Medium note in the amount
of $19.0 million as part of the Company's reorganization.
F-24
In connection with the bank financing in March 1998, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement, with an implied annual rate of 6.51%. The swap
agreement reduced the impact of interest rate increases on then-existing term
loan facility. The Company paid a fixed fee of approximately $17.9 million for
the swap agreement. In return, the counter-party was obligated to pay a variable
rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points, paid on a quarterly basis directly to
the respective banks on behalf of the Company, on a notional amount of $100
million until the termination date of March 31, 2001. In connection with the pay
down of a portion of the term loan facility during 1999, the Company reduced the
notional amount of its swap agreement from $100 million to $41 million and
realized net proceeds of approximately $6 million due to early termination of a
portion of the swap agreement. The interest rate swap agreement expired in March
2001.
Investment in MSV and Notes Receivable from MSV
As a result of the application of "fresh-start" accounting, restatements and the
subsequent modifications described below, the notes and investment in MSV were
valued at fair value and the Company recorded an asset in the amount of
approximately $53.9 million representing the estimated fair value of our
investment in and note receivable from MSV. Included in this investment is the
historical cost basis of the Company's common equity ownership of approximately
48% as of May 1, 2002, or approximately $19.3 million. In accordance with the
equity method of accounting, we recorded our approximate 48% share of MSV losses
against this basis.
Approximately $6.2 million of the value attributed to the equity interest in MSV
is the excess of fair value over cost basis and is amortized over the estimated
lives of the underlying MSV assets that gave rise to the basis difference. The
Company is amortizing the excess basis in accordance with the pro-rata
allocation of various components of MSV's intangible assets as determined by MSV
through recent independent valuations. Such assets consist of FCC licenses,
intellectual property and customer contracts, which are being amortized over a
weighted-average life of approximately 12 years.
Additionally, Motient has recorded the $15.0 million note receivable from MSV,
plus accrued interest thereon at its fair value, estimated to be approximately
$13.0 million at "fresh start", after giving affect to discounted future cash
flows at market interest rates. This note matures in November 2006 and is
subject to certain conditions and priorities with respect to payment of other
indebtedness.
In November 2003, Motient engaged CTA to perform a valuation of its equity
interests in MSV as of December 31, 2002. Concurrent with CTA's valuation,
Motient reduced the book value of its equity interest in MSV from $53.9 million
(inclusive of Motient's $2.5 million convertible notes from MSV) to $40.9
million as of May 1, 2002 to reflect certain preference rights on liquidation of
certain classes of equity holders in MSV.
Also, as a result of CTA's valuation of MSV, Motient determined that the value
of its equity interest in MSV was impaired as of December 31, 2002. This
impairment was deemed to have occurred in the fourth quarter of 2002 and the
Company reduced the value of its equity interest in MSV by $15.4 million as of
December 31, 2002. It was determined that no further impairment was required as
of December 31, 2003.
The valuation of Motient's investment in MSV and its note receivable from MSV
are ongoing assessments that are, by their nature, judgmental given that MSV is
not traded on a public market and is in the process of developing certain next
generation technologies, which depend on approval by the FCC. There is the
inherent future risk that due to the uncertainties described above, Motient may
have to write down the value of this investment and note. For information
regarding recent developments involving MSV, please see Note 16 ("Subsequent
Events").
For the year ended December 31, 2003, MSV had revenues of $27.1 million,
operating expenses of $46.5 million and a net loss of $28 million. For the
eight-month period ended December 31, 2002, MSV had revenues of $15.8 million,
operating expenses of $36.4 million and a net loss of $17.0 million. For the
four-month period ended April 30, 2002, MSV had revenues of $9.1 million,
operating expenses of $9.3 million and a net loss of $9.2 million. For the year
F-25
ended December 31, 2003, the Company's equity in losses of MSV were $9.7
million. For the eight-month period ended December 31, 2002, the Company's
equity in losses of MSV were $6.9 million, and for the four-month period ended
April 30, 2002, the Company's equity in losses of MSV were $1.9 million. Results
for MSV for these periods and for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001 are outlined below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February, 2002, EITF No. 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a
Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)", was
issued to provide guidance on whether consideration paid by a vendor to a
reseller should be recorded as expenses or against revenues. The Company has
reviewed EITF 01-09 and believes that all such consideration is properly
recorded by the Company as operating expenses. The Company adopted the
provisions of this consensus on January 1, 2002, and it had no material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2002, the EITF reached consensus on EITF No. 00-21, "Accounting for
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables". This consensus requires that
revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables be divided into separate units
of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet specific criteria. In
addition, arrangement consideration must be allocated among the separate units
of accounting based on their relative fair values, with certain limitations. The
sale of the Company's equipment with related services constitutes a revenue
arrangement with multiple deliverables. The Company will be required to adopt
the provisions of this consensus for revenue arrangements entered into after
June 30, 2003, and the Company has decided to apply it on a prospective basis.
Motient did not have any revenue arrangements that would have a material impact
on its financial statements with respect to EITF No. 00-21.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation, or FIN No. 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN No. 45 elaborates on the
disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It
also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee. However, a liability does not have to be recognized for a
parent's guarantee of its subsidiary's debt to a third party or a subsidiary's
guarantee of the debt owed to a third party by either its parent or another
subsidiary of that parent. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of
FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002 irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year
end. The disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45 are effective for financial
statements with annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. Motient does not
have any guarantees that would require disclosure under FIN No. 45.
F-26
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 or FIN No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities -- An Interpretation of ARB No.
51", which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements", to certain entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or
do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46
provides guidance related to identifying variable interest entities (previously
known generally as special purpose entities, or SPEs) and determining whether
such entities should be consolidated. FIN No. 46 must be applied immediately to
variable interest entities created or interests in variable interest entities
obtained after January 31, 2003. For those variable interest entities created or
interests in variable interest entities obtained on or before January 31, 2003,
the guidance in FIN No. 46 must be applied in the first fiscal year or interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has reviewed the implications
that adoption of FIN No. 46 would have on its financial position and results of
operations and it did not have a material impact.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". This statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement
of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial
instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some
circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies the characteristics of
an obligation of the issuer. This standard is effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003. The Company has determined that it does not have any financial instruments
that are impacted by SFAS No. 150.
Restatement of Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002 and year ended December 31, 2001, the Company became aware
that certain accounting involving the effects of several complex transactions
from these years, including the formation of and transactions with a joint
venture, MSV, in 2000 and 2001 and the sale of certain of our transportation
assets to Aether in 2000, required revision. These transactions were described
in more detail in Note 13 ("Business Acquisitions and Dispositions") of notes to
consolidated financial statements in each of Motient's annual reports on Form
10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. In addition, as a
result of the Company's re-audit of the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
performed by the Company's former independent accounting firm, Ehrenkrantz
Sterling & Co. LLC, certain accounting adjustments were proposed and accepted by
the Company. A description of these adjustments is provided below.
Summary of Adjustments to Prior Period Financial Statements with respect to MSV
and Aether Transactions
The following is a brief description of the material differences between our
original accounting treatment with respect to the MSV and Aether transactions
and the revised accounting treatment that Motient has concluded was appropriate
and has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the
respective periods.
Allocation of initial proceeds from MSV formation transactions in June 2000. In
the June 2000 transaction with MSV, Motient Services received $44 million from
MSV. This amount represented payments due under a research and development
agreement, a deposit on the purchase of certain of Motient's assets at a future
date, and payment for a right for certain of the investors in MSV to convert
their ownership in MSV into shares of common stock of Motient. Since the
combined fair value of the three components exceeded $44 million, based on
valuations of each component, Motient initially allocated the $44 million of
proceeds first to the fair value of the research and development agreement and
then the remaining value to the asset deposit and investor conversion option
based on their relative fair values. Upon review, Motient revised its initial
accounting treatment and allocated the $44 million of proceeds first to the
investor conversion option based on its fair value, and the remainder to the
research and development agreement and asset deposit based on their relative
fair values. The effect of this reallocation increased shareholders' equity at
the time of the initial recording by $12 million, as well as reduced subsequent
service revenue by $4 million in 2001, as a result of the lower recorded value
allocated to the research and development agreement. All remaining unamortized
balances were written off as part of the gain on the sale of the satellite
assets.
F-27
Recording of suspended losses associated with MSV in fourth quarter of 2001. In
November 2001, when the asset sale described in Note 13 was consummated, Motient
and MSV amended the asset purchase agreement, with Motient agreeing to take a
$15 million note as part of the consideration for the sale of the assets to MSV.
Additionally, at the time of this transaction, Motient purchased a $2.5 million
convertible note issued by MSV. As Motient had no prior basis in its investment
in MSV, Motient had not recorded any prior equity method losses associated with
its investment in MSV. When Motient agreed to take the $15 million note as
partial consideration for the assets sold to MSV, Motient recorded its share of
the MSV losses that had not been previously recognized by Motient ($17.5
million), having the effect of completely writing off the notes receivable in
2001.
Upon review, Motient determined that it should not have recorded any suspended
losses of MSV, since those losses should have been absorbed by certain of the
senior equity holders in MSV. As a result, Motient concluded that it should not
have written off its portion ($17.5 million) of the prior MSV losses against the
value of both notes in 2001.
Recording of increase in Motient's investment in MSV in November 2001. Also in
the November 2001 transaction, MSV acquired assets from another company, TMI, in
exchange for cash, a note and equity in MSV. Motient initially considered
whether or not a step-up in the value of its investment in MSV was appropriate
for the value allocated to TMI for its equity interest, and determined that a
step-up was not appropriate. Upon review, Motient determined that it should have
recognized a step-up in value of the MSV investment of $12.9 million under Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 51, "Accounting for Sales of Stock of a Subsidiary"
("SAB 51"), with an offsetting gain recorded directly to shareholders' equity.
Recognition of gain on sale of assets to MSV in November 2001. Upon the
completion of the November 2001 transactions, Motient determined that 80% of its
gain from the sale of the assets should be deferred, since that was Motient's
equity ownership percentage in MSV at the time the assets were sold to MSV. Upon
review, Motient has determined that it was appropriate to apply Motient's
ownership percentage at the completion of all of the related transactions that
occurred on the same day as the asset sale transaction, since the transactions
were dependent upon one another and effectively closed simultaneously.
Accordingly, Motient should have deferred approximately 48% of the gain
(Motient's equity ownership percentage in MSV following the completion of such
transactions) as opposed to 80%. This change resulted in an increased gain on
the sale of MSV of $7.9 million in 2001.
Allocation of proceeds from the sale of the transportation business to Aether in
November 2000. Motient received approximately $45 million for the sale of its
retail transportation business assets and assumption of its liabilities to
Aether. This consisted of $30 million for the assets, of which $10 million was
held in an escrow account that was subsequently released in the fourth quarter
of 2001 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, and $15 million for a
perpetual license to use and modify any intellectual property owned or licensed
by Motient in connection with the retail transportation business. In the fourth
quarter of 2000, Motient recognized a gain of $8.9 million, which represented
the difference between the net book value of the assets sold and the $20 million
cash portion of the purchase price for the assets received at closing. Motient
recognized an additional $8.3 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2001 when
the additional $10 million of proceeds were released from escrow. The $1.7
million difference between the proceeds received and the gain recognized is a
result of pricing modifications that were made at the time of the release of the
escrow plus certain compensation paid to former employees of the transportation
business as a result of certain performance criteria having been met.
Motient deferred the $15 million perpetual license payment, which was then
amortized into revenue over a five-year period, the estimated life of the
customer contracts sold to Aether at the time of the transaction. Upon review,
Motient determined that the $15 million in deferred revenue should be recognized
over a four year period, which represents the life of a network airtime
agreement that Motient entered into with Aether at the time of the closing of
the asset sale. The decrease in the amortization period resulted in increased
revenue of $63,000 and $750,000 in 2000 and 2001, respectively.
F-28
Recognition of costs associated with certain options granted to Motient
employees who were subsequently transferred to Aether upon consummation of the
sale of Motient's transportation business to Aether in November 2000. Motient
valued the vested options based on their fair value at the date of the
consummation of the asset sale and recorded that value against the gain on the
sale of the assets to Aether. Upon review, Motient has determined to value these
vested options as a repricing under the intrinsic value method, with any charge
recorded as an operating expense. In addition, for each subsequent quarter for
which the unvested options continued to vest, Motient had valued these options
on a fair value basis and recorded any adjustment in value as an operating
expense. Upon review, Motient has determined that any adjustments in value
should have been reflected as an increase or reduction of the gain on the sale
of the assets to Aether. The revised accounting resulted in an increase in
expenses of $1.0 million in 2001.
Recognition of difference between strike price and fair market value at
measurement date for options issued to ARDIS employees. Motient has restated its
consolidated financial statements to recognize compensation expense related to
the issuance of stock options with an exercise price below fair market value.
The revised accounting resulted in a decrease in net income and a corresponding
increase in additional paid in capital of $0.01 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001.
Recognition of adoption of SAB 101,"Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". Motient has restated its consolidated financial statements as of
January 1, 2000, based on guidance provided in Securities and Exchange
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements", as amended ("SAB101"). Motient's adoption of SAB101 resulted in a
change of accounting for certain product shipments and activation fees. The
cumulative effect of the change to retained earnings as of January 1, 2000 was
$4.6 million. The cumulative effect was recognized as income in 2001 as the
amounts were amortized into revenue and ultimately recognized as additional gain
on the sale of the Company's satellite, transportation and certain other assets.
Accrual of advertising expense in December 2000. Motient has restated its
consolidated financial statements in 2000 to recognize an additional $1.1
million in advertising expense previously recognized in 2001.
Recognition of costs associated with inventory write-downs. Motient has restated
its consolidated financial statements in 2000 to recognize an additional $1
million in Cost of Goods Sold for inventory write-downs previously recognized in
2001. In addition, Motient has restated its consolidated financial statements
for the three-months ended March 31, 2002 to recognize an additional $0.4
million in Cost of Goods Sold for inventory write-downs not previously recorded.
Summary of Impact of the Restatement
The revised accounting treatment described above required that certain
adjustments be made to the income statements and balance sheets for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The effect of
these adjustments is illustrated in the table below. Certain of the adjustments
are based on assumptions that we have made about the fair value of certain
assets.

3. STOCKHOLDERS' (DEFICIT) EQUITY
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock and 100,000,000 shares of common stock. For each share of common
stock held, common stockholders are entitled to one vote on matters submitted to
the stockholders.
F-30
The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series at the discretion of the
Board of Directors (the "Board"), without stockholder approval. The Board is
authorized to determine the number of shares in each series and all
designations, rights, preferences, and limitations on the shares in each series,
including, but not limited to, determining whether dividends will be cumulative
or non-cumulative.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company had reserved common stock for future
issuance as detailed below.

XM Radio
During 2000 and 2001, XM Radio executed certain equity transactions that
affected the Company's ownership percentage in XM Radio. As a result of these
transactions, and in accordance with SAB 51, the Company recorded a decrease to
its investment in XM Radio of $12.2 million in 2001, and an increase to its
investment in XM Radio of $129.5 million in 2000. SAB 51 addresses the
accounting for sales of stock by a subsidiary. Because XM Radio was a
development stage company until November 12, 2001, SAB 51 required the
difference in the carrying amount of the Company's investment in XM Radio and
the net book value of XM Radio after the stock issuances be reflected in the
financial statements of the Company as a capital transaction in the accompanying
consolidated statements of stockholders' (deficit) equity. As of November 19,
2001, the Company did not hold any interest in XM Radio.
Mobile Satellite Ventures LP
During 2001, MSV executed certain equity transactions that affected the
Company's ownership percentage in MSV. As a result of these transactions, and in
accordance with SAB 51, the Company recorded an increase to its investment in
MSV of $12.9 million in 2001, with an offsetting gain recorded directly to
shareholders' equity.
Please see the audited financial statements of MSV beginning on page M-1 for

Amortization totaled $7,696 for the year ended December 31, 2003; $5,693 for the
eight months ended December 31, 2002 and $989 for the four months ended April
30, 2002.
Motient accounts for its frequencies as finite-lived intangibles and amortizes
them over a 20-year estimated life. Motient's FCC licenses are granted for a
term of 10 years, subject to renewal. Renewal of Motient's current licenses are
granted in the ordinary course. Motient had amortized its goodwill on a
straight-line basis over 20 years, however, this goodwill was eliminated as part
of Motient's "fresh-start" accounting. As part of its "fresh-start" accounting,
Motient valued its long-term customer contracts and amortizes these contracts
over a four-year life. The fair value of customer related intangibles is based
on analysis incorporating a discounted cash flow of the Company's primary
customer contracts and other related considerations (unaudited).
Subsequent to the period covered by this report, we engaged a financial advisor
to value certain of our customer-intangible assets as of December 31, 2002,
among other things, to test for potential impairment of certain of our
long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144. Based on these tests, no recording of
impairment charges was required. However, we subsequently engaged this financial
advisor to reevaluate the value of our customer-related intangibles as of
September 30, 2003 due primarily to the decline in revenue from UPS in this time
period. This valuation resulted in an impairment of the customer-related
intangibles of $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2003. For information
regarding recent developments related to the Company's FCC licenses, please see
Note 16 ("Subsequent Events")(Unaudited).
The table below outlines Motient's amortization requirements for the five year

6. STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK
Prior to its reorganization, the Company had several active stock option plans.
The Motient Corporation Award Plan (the "Award Plan") permitted the grant of
non-statutory options and stock-based awards up to a total of 7.3 million shares
of common stock. Under the Award Plan, the exercise price and vesting schedule
for options was determined by the compensation and stock option committee of the
Board, which was established to administer the Award Plan. Generally, options
vested over a three year period and had an exercise price of not less than the
fair market value of a share on the date the option was granted or have a term
greater than ten years. In May 2000, the Company's stockholders approved certain
amendments to the Award Plan, including permitting non-employee directors to be
eligible for option grants under the Award Plan.
F-32
The Company also had a Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Director
Plan") which provided for the grant of the options up to a total of 100,000
shares of common stock. Effective March 25, 1999, Directors received an initial
option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock, with annual option grants to
purchase 2,500 shares of common stock. In addition, the Board was allowed to
grant discretionary options at such time and on such terms and conditions as it
deemed appropriate. Options under the Director Plan were exercisable at a price
equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and were fully
vested and immediately exercisable on the date of grant. Each Director Plan
option expired on the earlier of (i) ten years from the date of grant or (ii)
seven months after the Director's termination.
In January 1998, the Board granted restricted stock to certain members of senior
management. These grants included both a three year vesting schedule as well as
specific corporate performance targets. The Company did not record any
compensation expense associated with these shares during 1999 or 2000 however in
January 2001, in recognition of employee services in entering into the second
MSV transaction, the Board lifted the remaining restrictions, and the shares
were released upon vesting. Accordingly, the Company recorded compensation
expense in the amount of $1.4 million in 2001 associated with the vesting of
these shares.
On September 25, 2001, the Company issued approximately 3.2 million shares of
restricted stock to employees, with a price on the date of issuance of $0.13 per
share, in exchange for approximately 4.3 million outstanding employee stock
options, which were cancelled. With the exception of restricted stock issued to
an employee terminated on September 26, 2001, which shares vested immediately
based on the terminated employees' then-vested exchanged options, all other
shares of restricted stock issued on September 25, 2001 were subject to a six
month holding period, at which time the shares of restricted stock vested in
accordance with the vesting schedule of the options for which the restricted
stock was exchanged. The Company recorded a deferred compensation charge as of
December 31, 2001 in the amount of $419,000 associated with the issuance of
these shares. This compensation was charged expense over the employees' service
period.
All of the above mentioned plans and the respective authorized and issued stock
options were cancelled as part of the Company's reorganization on May 1, 2002.
In May 2002, the Company's Board approved the 2002 Stock Option Plan with
2,993,024 authorized shares of common stock, of which options to purchase
1,757,513 shares of the Company's common stock were outstanding at December 31,
2003. The plan was approved by the Company's stockholders on July 11, 2002. The
2002 options are subject to vesting in two parts - 50% of the shares vest in
three equal parts on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of
grant, and the other 50% vest in three equal parts, or are rescinded, based on a
comparison of the Company's performance in 2002, 2003, and 2004 to certain
objectives established by the compensation and stock option committee of the
Board following the availability of the annual results. A portion of the options
granted under the 2002 Stock Option Plan have a performance-based component.
These options will be accounted for in accordance with variable plan accounting,
which requires that the value of these options are measured at their intrinsic
value and any change in that value be charged to the income statement upon the
determination that the fulfillment of the performance criteria is probable. The
other options were previously accounted for as a fixed plan and in accordance
with intrinsic value accounting, which require that the excess of the market
price of stock over the exercise price of the options, if any, at the time that
both the exercise price and the number of options are known be recorded as
deferred compensation and amortized over the option vesting period.
In March 2003, the Company's board of directors approved the reduction in the
exercise price of all of the outstanding stock options from $5.00 per share to
$3.00 per share. The re-pricing requires that all options be accounted for in
accordance with variable plan accounting, which requires that the value of these
options are measured at their intrinsic value and any change in that value be
charged to the income statement each quarter based on the difference (if any)
between the intrinsic value and the then-current market value of the common
stock.
In July and September 2003, the compensation and stock option committee of the
Company's Board, acting pursuant to the Company's 2002 stock option plan,
granted 26 employees and officers options to purchase an aggregate of 470,000
shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $5.15 per share and 25,000
shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $5.65 per share. One-half of
each option grant vests with the passage of time and the continued employment of
the recipient, in three equal increments, on the first, second and third
anniversary of the date of grant. The other half of each grant will either vest
or be rescinded based on the performance of the Company in 2004. In August 2004,
F-33
one employee received a grant for 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock
at a price of $5.15 per share. (Unaudited) In December 2004, the directors, one
employee and one consultant received options to purchase an aggregate of 195,000
shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $8.57 per share. (Unaudited)
These options were immediately exercisable. (Unaudited) If vested and not
exercised, the options will expire on the 10th anniversary of the date of grant.

Potential tax benefits, related to net operating losses and temporary
differences, have been recorded as an asset, and a valuation allowance for the
same amount has been established. The Company has paid no income taxes since
inception.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had estimated net operating loss
carryforwards ("NOLs") of $412 million and $370 million, respectively. In April
2002, due to the debt restructuring and reorganization, the Company has
triggered a change of control, which has limited the availability and
utilization of the NOLs. The Company's NOL's expire between 2004 and 2024.

Term Credit Facility
On January 27, 2003, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Motient
Communications, closed a $12.5 million term credit agreement with a group of
lenders, including several of the Company's existing stockholders. The lenders
include the following entities or their affiliates: M&E Advisors, L.L.C., Bay
Harbour Partners, York Capital and Lampe Conway & Co. York Capital is affiliated
with JGD Management Corp. and James G. Dinan. JGD Management Corp., James G.
Dinan, James D. Dondero and Highland Capital Management each hold 5% or more of
Motient's common stock. The lenders also include Gary Singer, directly or
through one or more entities. Gary Singer is the brother of Steven G. Singer,
one of our directors.
The table below shows, as of June 24, 2004 the number of shares of Motient
common stock beneficially owned by the following parties to the term credit
agreement, based solely on filings made by such parties with the SEC:
Name of Beneficial Owner Number of Shares
------------------------ ----------------
James G. Dinan* 2,276,445
JGD Management Corp.* 2,276,445
Highland Capital Management** 4,424,559
James Dondero** 4,424,559
|
*JGD Management Corp and James G. Dinan share beneficial ownership with
respect to the 2,276,445 shares of our common stock. Mr. Dinan is the
president and sole stockholder of JGD Management Corp, which manages
the other funds and accounts that hold our common stock over which Mr.
Dinan has discretionary investment authority.
** James D. Dondero, a member of our board of directors, is the
President of Highland Capital Management, L.P., which, pursuant to an
arrangement with M&E Advisors, L.L.C., has indirectly made a
commitment under the credit facility.
Under the credit agreement, the lenders have made commitments to lend Motient
Communications up to $12.5 million. The commitments are not revolving in nature
and amounts repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Borrowing availability
under Motient's term credit facility terminated on December 31, 2003. On March
16, 2004, Motient Communications entered into an amendment to the credit
facility which extended the borrowing availability period until December 31,
2004. As part of this amendment, Motient Communications provided the lenders
with a pledge of all of the stock of a newly-formed special purpose subsidiary
of Motient Communications, Motient License, which holds all of Motient's FCC
licenses formerly held by Motient Communications.
F-36
Under this facility, the lenders have agreed to make loans to Motient
Communications through December 31, 2004 upon Motient Communications' request no
more often than once per month, in aggregate principal amounts not to exceed
$1.5 million for any single loan, and subject to satisfaction of other
conditions to borrowing, including certain financial and operating covenants,
contained in the credit agreement. As of April 1, 2004, the Company had borrowed
$6.0 million under this facility, all of which has since been repaid and may not
be re-borrowed.
Each loan borrowed under the credit agreement has a term of three years. Loans
carry interest at 12% per annum. Interest accrues, compounding annually, from
the first day of each loan term, and all accrued interest is payable at each
respective loan maturity, or, in the case of mandatory or voluntary prepayment,
at the point at which the respective loan principal is repaid. Loans may be
prepaid at any time without penalty.
The obligations of Motient Communications under the credit agreement are secured
by a pledge of all the assets owned by Motient Communications that can be
pledged as security (including, but not limited to Motient Communication's
shares in Motient License). Motient Communications owns, directly or indirectly,
all of the Company's assets relating to its terrestrial wireless communications
business. In addition, Motient and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Motient Holdings
Inc., have guaranteed Motient Communications' obligations under the credit
agreement, and the Company has delivered a pledge of the stock of Motient
Holdings Inc., Motient Communications, Motient Services and Motient License to
the lenders. In addition, upon the repayment in full of the outstanding
$19,750,000 in senior notes due 2005 issued by MVH Holdings Inc. to Rare Medium
and CSFB in connection with the Company's approved Plan of Reorganization, the
Company will pledge the stock of MVH Holdings Inc. to the lenders.
On January 27, 2003, in connection with the signing of the credit agreement,
Motient issued warrants at closing to the lenders to purchase, in the aggregate,
3,125,000 shares of its common stock. The exercise price for these warrants is
$1.06 per share. The warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance and
have a term of five years. The warrants were valued at $10 million using a
Black-Scholes pricing model and have been recorded as a debt discount and are
being amortized as additional interest expense over three years, the term of the
related debt. Upon closing of the credit agreement, the Company paid closing and
commitment fees to the lenders of $500,000. These fees have been recorded on the
Company's balance sheet and are being amortized as additional interest expense
over three years, the term of the related debt. Under the credit agreement, the
Company must pay an annual commitment fee of 1.25% of the daily average of
undrawn amounts of the aggregate commitments from the period from the closing
date to December 31, 2003. In December 2003, the Company paid the lenders a
commitment fee of approximately $113,000.
In each of April, June and August 2003 and March of 2004, the Company made draws
under the credit agreement in the amount of $1.5 million for an aggregate amount
of $6.0 million. The Company used such funds to fund general working capital
requirements of operations.
For the monthly periods ended April 2003 through December 2003, the Company
reported events of default under the terms of the credit facility to the
lenders. These events of default related to non-compliance with covenants
requiring minimum monthly revenue, earnings before interest, taxes and
depreciation and amortization and free cash flow performance. In each period,
the lenders waived these events of default. There can be no assurance that
Motient will not have to report additional events of default or that the lenders
will continue to provide waivers in such event. Ultimately, there can be no
assurances that the liquidity provided by the credit facility will be sufficient
to fund Motient's ongoing operations.
F-37
Borrowing availability under the facility terminated on December 31, 2004, and
the Company does not plan to attempt to extend the borrowing availability again.
(unaudited) All amounts due and owing under the facility were repaid prior to
such termination (unaudited).
For further information about amendments to and repayments of amounts due and
owing under this Credit Agreement, please see Note 16 ("Subsequent Events").
$335 Million Unit Offering
On March 31, 1998, Motient Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motient,
issued $335 million of Units (the "Units") consisting of 12 1/4% Senior Notes
due 2008 (the "Senior Notes"), and one warrant to purchase 3.75749 shares of
common stock of the Company for each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes
(the "Warrants") at an exercise price of $12.51 per share. The Warrants were
valued at $8.5 million and were recorded as a debt discount. A portion of the
net proceeds of the sale of the Units were used to finance the Motient
Communications acquisition in 1998. In connection with the Senior Notes, Motient
Holdings Inc. purchased approximately $112.3 million of restricted investments
that were restricted for the payment of the first six interest payments on the
Senior Notes. Interest payments are due semi-annually, in arrears, beginning
October 1, 1998. As a result of the automatic application of certain adjustment
provisions following the issuance of 7.0 million shares of common stock in a
public offering in 1999, the exercise price of the warrants associated with the
Senior Notes was reduced to $12.28 per share, the number of shares per warrant
was increased to 3.83 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes,
and the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants was
increased by 24,294. The additional Senior Note warrants and re-pricing were
valued at $440,000. This was recorded as additional debt discount in the third
quarter of 1999. The Senior Notes were jointly and severally guaranteed on a
full and unconditional basis by Motient Corporation and all of its subsidiaries.
The Company failed to make a semi-annual interest payment due October 1, 2001,
which failure constituted an event of default under the Senior Notes. As a
result of the Company's failure to make the required semi-annual interest
payment, the missed interest payment accrued interest at the annual rate of
13.25%. As a result of this event of default, the Company classified the Senior
Notes as current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December
31, 2001.
As discussed above (please see Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies"), as
part of the Company's Plan of Reorganization, the Senior Notes, including
accrued interest thereon, and related warrants were exchanged in full for new
equity of the reorganized Company.
Rare Medium Notes
In 2001, Motient issued two notes to Rare Medium in the aggregate principal
amount of $50 million, at 12.5% annual interest. These notes were collateralized
by five million of the Company's XM Radio shares. On October 12, 2001, in
accordance with the terms of the notes, the Company exchanged $26.2 million of
the Rare Medium notes, representing $23.8 million in principal and $2.4 million
of accrued interest, for five million of its XM Radio shares. The $26.9 million
of principal and accrued interest remaining outstanding at December 31, 2001 was
unsecured.
As a result of the delivery of the shares of XM Radio common stock described
above (see Note 13, "Business Acquisitions and Dispositions"), the maturity of
the Rare Medium notes was accelerated to November 19, 2001. As of December 31,
2001, the Rare Medium notes were in default; and, therefore, the Company
classified the Rare Medium notes as current liabilities in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2001.
F-38
Under the Company's Plan of Reorganization, the Rare Medium notes were cancelled
and replaced by a new note in the principal amount of $19.0 million. The new
note was issued by a new subsidiary of Motient Corporation that owns 100% of
Motient Ventures Holding Inc., which owns all of the Company's interests in MSV.
The new note had a term of three years and carried interest at 9%. The note
allowed the Company to elect to accrue interest and add it to the principal,
instead of paying interest in cash. The note requires that it be prepaid using
25% of the proceeds of any repayment of the $15 million note receivable from
MSV. In July 2004, the Company repaid all accrued principal and interest on this
note, in the amount of $22.6 million. (Unaudited) In April 2004, the Company
made certain payments on the Rare Medium note. Please see "Subsequent
Events-Development Relating to MSV."
CSFB Note
Under the Company's Plan of Reorganization, the Company issued a note to CSFB,
in satisfaction of certain claims by CSFB against Motient, in the principal
amount of $750,000. The new note was issued by a new subsidiary of Motient
Corporation that owns 100% of Motient Ventures Holding Inc., which owns all of
the Company's interests in MSV. The new note had a term of three years and
carried interest at 9%. The note allowed the Company to elect to accrue interest
and add it to the principal, instead of paying interest in cash. The note
requires that it be prepaid using 25% of the proceeds of any repayment of the
$15 million note receivable from MSV. In July 2004, the Company repaid all
accrued principal and interest on this note, in the amount of $0.9 million.
(Unaudited) In April 2004, the Company made certain payments on the Rare Medium
note. Please see "Subsequent Events-Development Relating to MSV."
Bank Financing
In March 1998, the Company entered into a $200 million bank financing (the "Bank
Financing") consisting of two facilities: (i) the revolving credit facility
("Revolving Credit Facility"), a $100 million unsecured five-year reducing
revolving credit facility maturing March 31, 2003, and (ii) the term loan
facility ("Term Loan Facility"), a $100 million five-year, term loan facility
with up to three additional one-year extensions subject to the lenders'
approval. In 1999, the Term Loan Facility was reduced to $41 million. In 2000,
the Term Loan Facility was reduced to $40 million, and the Revolving Credit
Facility was reduced to $71.3 million. During 2001, the Bank Financing was
completely extinguished.
The Term Loan Facility
The Term Loan Facility bore an interest rate, generally, of 100 basis points
above London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The Term Loan Agreement did not
include any scheduled amortization until maturity, but did contain certain
provisions for prepayment based on certain proceeds received by the Company,
unless otherwise waived by the banks and the Bank Facility Guarantors (as
defined below). During 2001, the Term Loan Facility was completely extinguished.
The Revolving Credit Facility
The Revolving Credit Facility bore an interest rate, generally, of 100 basis
points above LIBOR and was unsecured, with a negative pledge on the assets of
Motient Holdings and its subsidiaries and ranked pari passu with the Senior
Notes. Certain proceeds received by Motient Holdings were required to repay and
reduce the Revolving Credit Facility, unless otherwise waived by the banks and
the Bank Facility Guarantors (as defined below). During 2001, the Revolving
Credit Facility was completely extinguished.
The Guarantees
In connection with the Bank Financing, Hughes Electronics Corporation, Singapore
Telecommunications, Ltd. and Baron Capital Partners, L.P. (collectively, the
"Bank Facility Guarantors"), extended separate guarantees of the obligations of
each of Motient Holdings and the Company to the banks, which on a several basis
aggregated to $200 million. In their agreement with each of Motient Holdings and
the Company (the "Guarantee Issuance Agreement"), the Bank Facility Guarantors
agreed to make their guarantees available for the Bank Financing. In exchange
for the additional risks undertaken by the Bank Facility Guarantors in
connection with the Bank Financing, the Company agreed to compensate the Bank
Facility Guarantors, principally in the form of one million additional warrants
and re-pricing of 5.5 million warrants previously issued in connection with the
original Bank Facility (together, the "Guarantee Warrants"). The Guarantee
Warrants were issued with an exercise price of $12.51 and were valued at
approximately $17.7 million. The amounts initially assigned to the Guarantee
Warrants and subsequent repricings are recorded as Common Stock Purchase
F-39
Warrants and Unamortized Guarantee Warrants in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets. The amount assigned to Unamortized Guarantee Warrants was
amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt. On March 29,
1999, the Bank Facility Guarantors agreed to eliminate certain covenants
contained in the Guarantee Issuance Agreement relating to earnings before
interest, depreciation, amortization and taxes and service revenue. In exchange
for this elimination of covenants, the Company agreed to re-price their
Guarantee Warrants, effective April 1,1999, from $12.51 to $7.50. The value of
the re-pricing was approximately $1.5 million.
As a result of the automatic application of certain adjustment provisions
following the issuance of the 7.0 million shares in the August 1999 public
offering, the exercise price of the Guarantee Warrants was reduced to $7.3571
per share and the Guarantee Warrants became exercisable for an additional
126,250 shares. The additional Guarantee Warrants and re-pricing were valued at
$2.4 million. Additionally, in June 2000, the Bank Facility Guarantors agreed to
partially reduce the debt repayment requirements associated with the MSV
transaction. In exchange, the Company further reduced the price of the Guarantee
Warrants to $6.25, which was valued at $1.4 million. In 2001, the Bank Facility
Guarantors agreed to waive certain repayment obligations under the Bank
Financing. In exchange for these waivers, the Company re-priced the warrants
held by certain of the Bank Facility Guarantors from $6.25 to $1.31 per share,
and issued new warrants to one Bank Facility Guarantor with an exercise price of
$1.31 per share. The value of the re-pricing and warrant issuance was $2.3
million.
Further, in connection with the Guarantee Issuance Agreement, the Company had
agreed to reimburse the Bank Facility Guarantors in the event that the
Guarantors were required to make payment under the Bank Financing guarantees,
and, in connection with this reimbursement commitment it provided the Bank
Facility Guarantors a junior security interest with respect to the assets of the
Company, principally its stockholdings in XM Radio and Motient Holdings.
Debt Extinguishments
In 1999, the Company raised $116 million, net of underwriting discounts and
expenses, through the issuance of 7.0 million shares of common stock in a public
offering. Of the net proceeds, Motient used $59 million to pay down a portion of
the Term Loan Facility. In 2000, the Company paid down and permanently reduced
the Term Loan Facility by an additional $1 million with proceeds from stock and
warrant exercises, and the Revolving Credit Facility was permanently reduced by
$22.8 million with a portion of the proceeds of the MSV and Aether transactions.
In 2001, the Company sold 2.0 million shares of XM Radio stock and used $8.5
million of the proceeds to permanently reduce the Term Loan Facility.
Additionally, $12.25 million of proceeds from the Rare Medium note were used to
pay down and permanently reduce the Term Loan Facility.
On November 6, 2001, the agent for the bank lenders under the Bank Financing
declared all loans under the Bank Financing immediately due and payable, due to
the existence of several events of default under the Bank Financing. On the same
date, the bank lenders sought payment in full from the Bank Financing Guarantors
for the accelerated loan obligations. The Bank Facility Guarantors repaid all
such loans on November 14, 2001 in the amount of approximately $97.6 million. As
a result, the Company had a reimbursement obligation to the Bank Guarantors in
the amount of $97.6 million, which included accrued interest and fees.
On November 19, 2001, the Company sold 500,000 shares of its XM Radio common
stock through a broker for $9.50 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $4.75
million. The net proceeds from this sale were paid to the Bank Facility
Guarantors, thereby reducing the amount of the Company's reimbursement
obligation to the Bank Facility Guarantors by such amount. Also on November 19,
2001, the Company delivered all of its remaining 9,257,262 shares of XM Radio
common stock to the Bank Facility Guarantors in full satisfaction of the entire
remaining amount of its reimbursement obligations to the Bank Facility
Guarantors. Upon delivery of these shares, the Bank Facility Guarantors released
the Company from all of its remaining obligations to the Bank Facility
Guarantors under the Bank Financing and the related guarantees and reimbursement
and security agreements. The Company delivered 7,108,184 shares to Hughes
Electronics Corporation, 964,640 shares to Singapore Telecommunications, Ltd.,
and 1,184,438 shares to Baron Capital Partners, L.P.
As a result of the permanent reductions of the Term Facility and the Revolving
Credit Facility, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of
approximately $1.2 million in 2001 and $3.0 million in 2000, which reflects the
write-down, on a pro-rata basis, of unamortized guarantee warrants and deferred
financing fees associated with the placement of the Bank Financing.
F-40
Interest Rate Swap Agreement
In connection with the Bank Financing in March 1998, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement, with an implied annual rate of 6.51%. The swap
agreement reduced the impact of interest rate increases on the Term Loan
Facility. The Company paid a fixed fee of approximately $17.9 million for the
swap agreement. In return, the counter-party was obligated to pay a variable
rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points, paid on a quarterly basis directly to
the respective banks on behalf of the Company, on a notional amount of $100
million until the termination date of March 31, 2001. In connection with the pay
down of a portion of the Term Loan Facility during 1999, the Company reduced the
notional amount of its swap agreement from $100 million to $41 million and
realized net proceeds of approximately $6 million due to early termination of a
portion of the swap agreement. The interest rate swap agreement expired in March
2001.
Motorola Vendor Financing
In June 1998, Motorola had entered into an agreement with the Company to provide
up to $15 million of vendor financing, to finance up to 75% of the purchase
price of network base stations. Loans under this facility bear interest at a
rate equal to LIBOR plus 7.0% and are guaranteed by the Company and each
subsidiary of Motient Holdings. The terms of the facility require that amounts
borrowed be secured by the equipment purchased therewith. Advances made during a
quarter constitute a loan, which is then amortized on a quarterly basis over
three years. As of December 31, 2003, $4.8 million was outstanding, including
accrued interest, under this facility at an interest rate of 5.4%. As of
December 31, 2002, $5.9 million was outstanding, including accrued interest,
under this facility at an interest rate of 9%. No additional amounts are
available for borrowing under this facility. In January 2003 and subsequently in
March 2004, the Company restructured this liability. In June 2004, the Company
negotiated a settlement of the entire amounts of these obligations. Please see
Note 16, ("Subsequent Events") for additional information.
Hewlett-Packard Capital Lease
The Company has a capital lease for network equipment with Hewlett-Packard, now
Compaq Corporation. The lease has an effective interest rate of 12.2%. This
capital lease was in default for non-payment at December 31, 2002, however, in
January 2003, this agreement was restructured to provide for a modified payment
schedule. In June 2004, the Company negotiated a settlement of the entire
amounts under this lease. Please see Note 16, ("Subsequent Events") for
additional information.
Assets Pledged and Secured
Prior to the Company's reorganization in May 2002, all wholly-owned subsidiaries
of the Company were subject to financing agreements that limited the amount of
cash dividends and loans that could be advanced to the Company. At December 31,
2001, all of the subsidiaries' net assets were restricted under these
agreements. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company was subject to financing
agreements with Rare Medium, CSFB, Motorola and Hewlett-Packard that continued
to limit the amount of cash dividends and loans that could be advanced to the
Company. The Company's term credit facility that also restricts the Company's
ability to pay cash dividends and receive additional loans that could be
advanced to the Company. These restrictions will have an impact on Motient's
ability to pay dividends. Please see Note 16, "Subsequent Events" for additional
information on payment and settlement of certain of those obligations.
Restricted net assets of the Company's subsidiaries were approximately $35.7
million and $33.1 million at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002
respectively.
Covenants
The Company's historical and current debt agreements contain various
restrictions, covenants, defaults, and requirements customarily found in such
financing agreements. Among other restrictions, these provisions include
limitations on cash dividends, restrictions on transactions between Motient and
its subsidiaries, restrictions on capital acquisitions, material adverse change
clauses, and maintenance of specified insurance policies. Please see Note 16,
"Subsequent Events" for additional information on payment and settlement of
certain of these obligations.

Communication Technology Advisors LLC
In May 2002, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Communication
Technology Advisors LLC ("CTA") under which CTA provided consulting services to
the Company. CTA's chairman, Jared E. Abbruzzese, was a director of the Company
until June 20, 2003. Peter Aquino, elected to the Company's Board on June 20,
2003, was a senior managing director of CTA. Gerry S. Kittner, also a Motient
director, is an advisor and consultant for CTA.
CTA is a consulting and private advisory firm specializing in the technology and
telecommunications sectors. The Company's agreement with CTA had an initial term
of three months ending August 15, 2002, and was extended by mutual agreement for
several additional terms of two or three months each. For the first three months
of the agreement, CTA was paid a flat fee of $60,000 per month, and for the
period August 2002 to May 2003, the monthly fee was $55,000. Beginning in May
2003, the monthly fee was reduced to $39,000. The Company also agreed to
reimburse CTA for CTA's out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
rendering services during the term of the agreement. This agreement was modified
on January 30, 2004.
CTA had previously acted as the spectrum and technology advisor to the official
committee of unsecured creditors in connection with the Company's Chapter 11
case. CTA received a total of $475,000 in fees for such advice and was
reimbursed a total of $4,896 for expenses in connection with the rendering of
such advice.
Except for the warrant offered to CTA described below and the warrants granted
to certain members of CTA in connection with the private placement of the
Company's common stock on April 7, 2004, neither CTA, nor any of its principals
or affiliates is a stockholder of Motient, nor does it hold any debt of Motient
(other than indebtedness as a result of consulting fees and expense
reimbursement owed to CTA in the ordinary course under the Company's existing
agreement with CTA). CTA has informed the Company that in connection with the
conduct of its business in the ordinary course, (i) it routinely advises clients
in and appears in restructuring cases involving telecommunications companies
throughout the country, and (ii) certain of the Company's stockholders and
bondholders and/or certain of their respective affiliates or principals, may be
considered to be (a) current clients of CTA in matters unrelated to Motient; (b)
former clients of CTA in matters unrelated to Motient; and (c) separate
affiliates of clients who are (or were) represented by CTA in matters unrelated
to Motient.
F-42
In July 2002, the Company's Board approved the offer and sale to CTA (or
affiliates thereof) of a warrant (or warrants) for 500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The warrant
has an exercise price of $3.00 per share and a term of five years. These
warrants were valued at $1.5 million and were recorded as a consultant
compensation expense in December of 2002. Certain affiliates of CTA purchased
the warrants in December 2002. Christopher W. Downie received a warrant for
100,000 of the 500,000 shares.
In November 2003, CTA was engaged to provide valuation of Motient's equity
interest in MSV as of December 31, 2002. CTA was paid $150,000 for this
valuation.
At December 31, 2003, CTA was owed $415,000.
On January 30, 2004, the Company engaged CTA to act as chief restructuring
entity. The term of CTA's engagement is currently scheduled to end on August 1,
2004. As consideration for this work, Motient agreed to pay to CTA a monthly fee
of $60,000, one-half of which will be paid monthly in cash and one-half of which
will deferred. The new agreement amends the consulting arrangement discussed
above. In April 2004, Motient paid CTA $440,000 for all past deferred fees.
In April 2004 and July 2004, certain members of CTA were granted warrants to
purchase 400,000 shares and 340,000 shares, respectively, of common stock in
conjunction with the private placements of the Company's common stock on April
7, 2004 and July 1, 2004. The warrants have an exercise price of $5.50 and $8.57
per share, respectively, and a term of five years. In December 2004, certain
affiliates of CTA were granted options to purchase 125,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $8.57 per share. (Unaudited) The options
are immediately vested and have a term of 10 years. (Unaudited)
Mr. Abbruzzese, Mr. Kittner and Mr. Aquino did not participate in the
deliberations or vote of the Board with respect to the foregoing matters while
serving as a member of the Board.

("Subsequent Events").
Operating Leases
The Company leases substantially all of its base station sites through operating
leases. The majority of these leases provide for renewal options for various
periods at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. In the normal course
of business, the operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other
leases. Additionally, the Company leases certain facilities and equipment under
arrangements accounted for as operating leases. Certain of these arrangements
have renewal terms. Total rent expense, under all operating leases, approximated
$15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, $10.5 million for the eight
months ended December 31, 2002, $5.6 million for the four months ended April 30,
2002, and $13.4 million in for the year ended December 31 2001.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of December 31, 2003, the Company had no contractual inventory commitments.
UPS, the Company's largest customer as of December 31, 2002, has substantially
completed its migration to next generation network technology, and its monthly
airtime usage of the Company's network has declined significantly. UPS was our
second largest customer for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 and our
eighth largest customer for the three months ended December 31, 2003. There are
no minimum purchase requirements under the Company's contract with UPS and the
contract may be terminated by UPS on 30 days' notice at which point any
remaining prepayment would be require to be repaid. While the Company expects
that UPS will remain a customer for the foreseeable future, the bulk of UPS'
units have migrated to another network. As of May 31, 2004, UPS had
approximately 3,800 active units on Motient's network.
Until June 2003, UPS had voluntarily maintained its historical level of payments
to mitigate the near-term revenue and cash flow impact of its recent and
anticipated continued reduced network usage. However, beginning in July 2003,
the revenues and cash flow from UPS declined significantly. Also, due to a
separate arrangement entered into in 2002 under which UPS prepaid for network
airtime to be used by it in 2004, the Company does not expect that UPS will be
required to make any cash payments to the Company in 2004 for service to be
provided in 2004. Pursuant to such agreement, and, as of April 30, 2004, UPS has
not been required to make any cash payments to the Company in 2004, and the
value of the Company's remaining airtime service obligations to UPS in respect
of the prepayment was approximately $4.3 million. If UPS terminates the
contract, we will be required to refund any unused portion of the prepayment to
UPS.
As of December 31, 2003, we had the following outstanding cash contractual
commitments:
Total <1 year 1-3 years 3 - 5 years More than 5 years
----- ------- --------- ----------- -----------------
(in thousands)
Operating leases (1) $33,685 $12,170 $17,417 $1,614 $2,484

(1) These commitments generally contain provisions that provide for an
acceleration of rent upon a default by us, except that certain long-term real
estate leases, categorized as Operating Leases, may not contain such provisions.
F-44
(2) In addition to being accelerable upon default, notes payable to Rare Medium
and CSFB, which comprise approximately $21 million of this amount, must be
prepaid with 25% of the proceeds due from any repayment of the $15 million
principal note issued to Motient by MSV. These notes were paid in full in July
2004 (Unaudited).
(3) This facility was repaid in full in April 2004. (Unaudited)
(4) All obligations pursuant to this commitment and note were settled and repaid
in July 2004. (Unaudited)
In May 2002, the FCC filed a proof of claim with the United States Bankruptcy
Court, asserting a pre-petition claim in the approximate amount of $1.0 million
in fees incurred as a result of our withdrawal from certain auctions. Under our
court-approved Plan of Reorganization, subsequent to June 30, 2002 the FCC's
claim was classified as an "other unsecured" claim, and the FCC was issued a
pro-rata portion of 97,256 shares of common stock issued to creditors with
allowed claims in such class. We recorded a $1.0 million expense in April 2002
for this claim.
At April 30, 2002, we had certain contingent and/or disputed obligations under
our satellite construction contract entered into in 1995, which contained flight
performance incentives payable by us to the contractor if the satellite
performed according to the contract. Upon the implementation of the Plan of
Reorganization, this contract was terminated, and in satisfaction of all amounts
alleged to be owed by us under this contract, the contractor received a pro-rata
portion of the 97,256 shares issued to creditors holding allowed unsecured
claims. The shares were issued upon closure of the bankruptcy claims process.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Prior to the Company's reorganization, the Company had several active stock
plans. All of these plans and the respective authorized and issued stock options
were cancelled as part of the Company's reorganization on May 1, 2002.
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company sponsored a 401(k) defined contribution plan ("401(k) Savings Plan")
in which all employees of Motient could participate. The 401(k) Savings Plan
provided for (i) a Company match of employee contributions, in the form of
common stock, at a rate of $1 for every $1 of an employee's contribution not to
exceed 4% of an employee's eligible compensation, (ii) a discretionary annual
employer non-elective contribution, (iii) the option to have plan benefits
distributed in the form of installment payments, and (iv) the reallocation of
forfeitures, if any, to active participants. In 2001, effective January 2002,
the Company amended its 401(k) Savings Plan to make the matching contributions
discretionary, as well as to allow the match to be made in either cash or shares
of common stock, at the Company's sole discretion. The Company's matching
expense was $0.36 million for 2003, $0 for 2002 and $1.1 million for 2001.
During 2001, the Company authorized an additional 5,025,000 shares for the
401(k) Savings Plan, and authorized an additional 268,000 shares in January
2002. As part of Company's plan of reorganization, all of the outstanding shares
of the Company's common stock were cancelled. During 2002, the Company
authorized 200,000 shares for the 401(K) Savings Plan.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company had an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("Stock Purchase Plan") to allow
eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of
the lower of market value on the first and last business day of the six-month
option period. An aggregate of 217,331 shares of common stock were issued under
the Stock Purchase Plan in 2001.
Effective January 2002, the Company discontinued the Stock Purchase Plan.
2002 Stock Option Plan
The Company's 2002 stock option plan was adopted by the Board on May 31, 2002
and received stockholder approval on July 11, 2002. A total of 2,993,024 shares
of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2002 stock option
plan. Under the 2002 stock option plan, the Company is authorized to grant
options to purchase shares of common stock intended to qualify as incentive
stock options, as defined under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and non-qualified stock options to any employees, outside
directors, consultants, advisors and individual service providers whose
participation in the 2002 stock option plan is determined by the Company's
F-45
compensation and stock option committee to be in the Company's best interests.
The term of each stock option is fixed by the Board or the compensation and
stock option committee, and each stock option is exercisable within ten years of
the original grant date. Some change of control transactions involving the
Company, such as a sale of Motient, may cause awards granted under the 2002
stock option plan to vest. Generally, an option is not transferable by the
recipient except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. As of December
31, 2003, options to purchase 2,993,024 shares of common stock had been
authorized under the 2002 stock option plan at a price of $5.00 per share, of
which options to purchase 1,757,513 shares of the Company's common stock were
outstanding at December 31, 2003. In March 2003, the Board approved the
reduction in the exercise price of all of the outstanding stock options from
$5.00 per share to $3.00 per share.
A portion of the options granted under the plan will either vest or be rescinded
based on Motient's performance. These options are accounted for in accordance
with variable plan accounting, which requires that the value of these options be
measured at their intrinsic value and any change in that value be charged to the
income statement upon the determination that the fulfillment of the Company
performance criteria is probable. The other options are accounted for as a fixed
plan and in accordance with intrinsic value accounting, which requires that the
excess of the market price of stock over the exercise price of the options, if
any, at the time that both the exercise price and the number of options are
known be recorded as deferred compensation and amortized over the option vesting
period. As of the date of grant, the option price per share was in excess of the
market price; therefore, these options are not deemed to have any value and no
expense has been recorded to date.
The 2002 options are subject to vesting in two parts - 50% of the shares vest in
three equal parts on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of
grant, and the other 50% vest in three equal parts, or are rescinded, based on a
comparison of the Company's performance in 2002, 2003, and 2004 to certain
objectives established by the compensation and stock option committee of the
Board following the availability of the annual results. In May 2004, the
compensation committee of the Company's Board made a determination to vest a
portion of the 2003 performance options.
In July and September 2003, the compensation and stock option committee of the
Company's Board, acting pursuant to the Company's 2002 stock option plan,
granted 26 employees and officers options to purchase an aggregate of 470,000
shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $5.15 per share and 25,000
shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $5.65 per share. One-half of
each option grant vests with the passage of time and the continued employment of
the recipient, in three equal increments, on the first, second and third
anniversary of the date of grant. The other half of each grant will either vest
or be rescinded based on the performance of the Company in 2004. In August 2004,
the Company granted one employee options to purchase 100,000 shares of stock at
$5.65 per share. (Unaudited) In December 2004, the directors, one employee and
one consultant received options to purchase an aggregate of 195,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at a price of $8.57 per share. (Unaudited) These
options are exercisable immediately. (Unaudited) If vested and not exercised,
the options will expire on the 10th anniversary of the date of grant.
For additional information regarding the establishment of new employee benefit
plans, please see Section 16 ("Subsequent Events"). (Unaudited)
13. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Sale of Retail Transportation Business to Aether
In November 2000, Motient sold assets relating to its retail transportation
business to Aether Systems, Inc. ("Aether") and received approximately $45
million. This consisted of $30 million for the assets, of which $10 million was
held in an escrow account which was subsequently released in the fourth quarter
of 2001 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, and $15 million for a
perpetual license to use and modify any intellectual property owned by or
licensed by Motient in connection with the retail transportation business.
Motient recognized an $8.3 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2001 when the
additional $10 million of proceeds were released from escrow. The $1.7 million
difference between the proceeds received and the gain recognized is a result of
pricing modifications that were made at the time of the release of the escrow
related to network capacity agreements. Motient amortized the $15 million
perpetual license payment, as restated, over a four year period through the
adoption of "fresh-start" accounting, which represented the life of the network
airtime agreement that Motient entered into with Aether at the time of the
closing of the asset sale.
F-46
Concurrent with the closing of the asset sale, the Company and Aether entered
into two long-term, prepaid network airtime agreements valued at $20 million, of
which $5 million was paid at closing, pursuant to which Aether agreed to
purchase airtime on the Company's satellite and terrestrial networks. Aether
also became an authorized reseller of the Company's eLink and BlackBerry TM by
Motient wireless email service offerings.
MSV
On June 29, 2000, the Company formed a joint venture subsidiary, MSV, in which
it owned until November 26, 2001, 80% of the membership interests in order to
conduct research and development activities. The remaining 20% interests in MSV
were owned by three investors unrelated to Motient. The other investors paid $50
million to MSV (in the aggregate), in exchange for their 20% interest. Motient
Services Inc. ("Motient Services") owned the Company's satellite and related
assets.
Of the $50 million payment received by MSV, $6.0 million was retained by MSV to
fund certain research and development activities, $24 million was paid to
Motient Services as a deposit on the purchase of the satellite assets, and $20
million was also paid to Motient Services for the use of the satellite and
frequency under a research and development agreement.
On November 26, 2001, Motient sold the assets comprising its satellite
communications business to MSV, as part of a transaction in which certain other
parties joined MSV, including TMI, a Canadian satellite services provider. In
consideration for its satellite business assets, Motient Services received the
following: (i) a $24 million cash payment in June 2000, (ii) a $41 million cash
payment paid at closing on November 26, 2001, net of $4 million retained by MSV
to fund the Company's future sublease obligations to MSV for rent and utilities
through August 2003 and (iii) a five-year $15 million note. In this transaction,
TMI also contributed its satellite communications business assets to MSV. In
addition, Motient purchased a $2.5 million convertible note issued by MSV, and
certain other investors, including a subsidiary of Rare Medium, purchased a
total of $52.5 million of convertible notes. The Company realized a gain of
approximately $29.8 million on the sale of its net assets; however, 48% of the
gain, or $14.3 million, was deferred and amortized over five years through the
adoption of "fresh-start" accounting.
MSV has also filed a separate application with the FCC with respect to MSV's
plans for a new generation satellite system utilizing ancillary terrestrial base
stations. For further information on the FCC approval process, see note 2
("Significant Accounting Policies-Investment in MSV and Notes Receivable from
MSV.) For further information on the FCC approval process, see Note 16
("Subsequent Events").
In July 2002, MSV commenced a rights offering seeking total funding in the
amount of $3.0 million. While the Company was not obligated to participate in
the offering, the Company's board determined that it was in the Company's best
interests to participate so that its interest in MSV would not be diluted. On
August 12, 2002, the Company funded an additional $957,000 to MSV pursuant to
this offering, and received a new convertible note in such amount. This rights
offering did not impact the Company's ownership position in MSV.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had an ownership percentage, on an
undiluted basis, of approximately 48% of the common and preferred units of MSV,
and approximately 55% of the common units. Assuming that all of MSV's
outstanding convertible notes are converted into limited partnership units of
MSV, as of December 31, 2002 Motient had a 33.3% partnership interest in MSV on
an "as converted" basis giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding
convertible notes of MSV, and 25.5% on a fully-diluted basis, assuming certain
other investors exercise their right to make additional investment in MSV as a
result of the FCC ancillary terrestrial components ("ATC") application process.
In February 2003, the FCC adopted the ATC Order, giving mobile satellite
operators broad authority to use their assigned spectrum to operate an ATC. The
ATC Order established a set of preconditions and technical limits for ATC
operations, as well as an application process for ATC approval of the specific
system incorporating the ATCs that the licensee intends to use. On November 18,
2003, MSV filed an application with the FCC to expand the use of its L-band
assets and construct its next-generation hybrid network with ATC. As part of its
next-generation system, MSV intends to use its L-band spectrum, which the FCC
had previously limited to satellite-only services, for terrestrial wireless
services in conjunction with mobile satellite services.
In addition, both proponents and opponents of ATC (including MSV) have filed for
reconsideration of the ATC Order, and the opponents of ATC have filed an appeal
with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Oppositions
to the petitions for reconsideration were filed August 20, 2003; replies were
F-47
filed September 2, 2003. The Court of Appeals has held the appeal in abeyance
pending resolution of the reconsideration requests. For information regarding
recent developments involving MSV, please see Note 16 ("Subsequent Events").
On August 21, 2003, two investors in MSV (excluding Motient) invested an
additional $3.7 million in MSV in exchange for Class A preferred units of
limited partnership interests in MSV. MSV used the proceeds from this investment
to repay other indebtedness that is senior in its right of repayment to
Motient's promissory note. Under the terms of the amended and restated
investment agreement, these investors also have the option of investing an
additional $17.6 million in MSV by December 31, 2003; however, if, prior to this
time, the FCC does not issue a decision addressing MSV's petition for
reconsideration with respect to the ATC Order (as hereinafter defined), the
option will be automatically extended to March 31, 2004.
On April 2, 2004, two exiting investors in MSV invested $17.6 million in MSV in
exchange for class A preferred units of limited partnership interests of MSV. In
connection with this investment, MSV's amended and restated investment agreement
was amended to provide that of the total $17.6 million in proceeds, $5.0 million
was used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness of MSV, including $2.0
million of accrued interest under the $15.0 million promissory note issued to
Motient by MSV. Motient was required to, and paid 25% of the $2.0 million it
received in this transaction, or $500,000, to prepay its existing notes owed to
Rare Medium Group and CSFB. The remainder of the proceeds from this investment
were used for general corporate purposes by MSV. As of the closing of the
additional investment on April 2, 2004, Motient's percentage ownership of MSV
was approximately 29.5% on an "as converted" basis giving effect to the
conversion of all outstanding convertible notes of MSV.
On May 17, 2004, MSV was awarded its first patent on a next generation satellite
system technology containing an ancillary terrestrial component (ATC)
innovation. MSV believes that patent will support its ability to deploy ATC in a
way that minimizes interference to other satellite systems, and addresses ways
to mitigate residual interference levels using interference-cancellation
techniques.
Please see note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies- Investment in MSV and Notes
Receivable from MSV" and note 16, "Subsequent Events-Developments Relating to
MSV."
For additional information regarding MSV, please see the financial statements of
MSV beginning on page M-1. (Unaudited)
Sale of SMR Licenses to Nextel Communications, Inc.
On July 29, 2003, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Motient Communications, entered
into an asset purchase agreement with Nextel, under which Motient Communications
sold to Nextel certain of its SMR licenses issued by the FCC for $3.4 million.
The closing of this transaction occurred on November 7, 2003. On December 9,
2003, Motient Communications entered into a second asset purchase agreement,
under which Motient Communications will sell additional licenses to Nextel for
$2.75 million resulting in a $1.5 million loss which was recorded in December,
2003. In February 2004, the Company closed the sale of licenses covering
approximately $2.2 million of the purchase price, and in April 2004, the Company
closed the sale of approximately one-half of the remaining licenses. The
transfer of the other half of the remaining licenses has been challenged at the
FCC by a third-party. While the Company believes, based on the advice of
counsel, that the FCC will ultimately rule in its favor, the Company cannot be
assured that it will prevail, and, in any event, the timing of any final
resolution is uncertain. None of these licenses are necessary for Motient's
future network requirements. Motient has and expects to continue to use the
proceeds of the sales to fund its working capital requirements and for general
corporate purposes. The lenders under Motient Communications' Term Credit
Agreement consented to the sale of these licenses.
XM Radio
In January 2001, pursuant to FCC approval for Motient to cease to control XM
Radio, the number of directors that the Company appointed to XM Radio's Board of
Directors was reduced to less than 50% of XM Radio's directors, and the Company
converted a portion of its super-voting Class B common stock of XM Radio to
Class A common stock. As a result, the Company ceased to control XM Radio, and
as of January 1, 2001, the Company accounted for its investment in XM Radio
pursuant to the equity method of accounting.
F-48
In January and February 2001, the Company sold, in two separate transactions,
two million shares of its XM Radio Class A common stock, at an average price of
$16.77 per share, for total proceeds of $33.5 million. In October 2001, as noted
above, the Company repaid $26.2 million of the Rare Medium notes in exchange for
five million of its XM Radio shares. On November 19, 2001, the Company sold
500,000 shares of its XM Radio common stock through a broker for $9.50 per
share, for aggregate proceeds of $4.75 million. Also on November 19, 2001, as a
result of a series of transaction to cure defaults under its Bank Financing and
to the Bank Facility Guarantors, the Company sold and/or delivered all of its of
its remaining 9,257,262 shares of XM Radio common stock to the Bank Facility
Guarantors in full satisfaction of the entire remaining amount of its
reimbursement obligations to the Bank Facility Guarantors. The agent for the
bank lenders under the Bank Financing declared all loans under the Bank
Financing immediately due and payable, due to the existence of several events of
default under the Bank Financing. On the same date, the bank lenders sought
payment in full from the Bank Financing Guarantors for the accelerated loan
obligations. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded proceeds
of approximately $38.3 million from the sale in 2001 of two million shares of
its XM Radio stock. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded
equity in losses of XM Radio of $48.5 million. As of November 19, 2001, the
Company ceased to have any interest in XM Radio.
In anticipation of the exchange of the XM Radio shares for debt, the Company
recorded an impairment loss of $81.5 million in 2001. This loss represents the
write down of the Company's investment in XM Radio to the fair value on the date
of the exchange. Upon the actual exchange of shares, the Company recognized a
net extraordinary gain of $10.0 million, which represented the difference
between the fair market value of the XM Radio stock as compared to the value of
the debt cancelled in exchange for the shares. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 2001, the Company recorded equity in losses of XM Radio of $48.5
million.
Merger Agreement with Rare Medium Group, Inc.
On May 14, 2001, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with Rare
Medium pursuant to which the Company would acquire Rare Medium. On October 1,
2001, the Company and Rare Medium announced their mutual termination of the
merger. The Company recorded a charge of $4.1 million in 2001 representing costs
incurred by the Company to pursue this transaction.
14. LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS
Legal
Motient filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code on January 10, 2002. The Bankruptcy Court confirmed Motient's Plan of
Reorganization on April 26, 2002, and Motient emerged from bankruptcy on May 1,
2002. For further details regarding this proceeding, please see Note 2
("Significant Accounting Policies -- Motient's Chapter 11 Filing and Plan of
Reorganization and "Fresh-Start" Accounting").
A former employee who was discharged as part of a reduction in force in July
2002 asserted a claim for a year's pay and attorney's fees under a Change of
Control Agreement that the employee had with the Company. This claim was subject
to binding arbitration. Although the Company believed that it had substantial
defenses on the merits, on July 11, 2003, the Company was informed that the
arbitrator ruled in the employee's favor. In August 2003, the Company made a
$200,000 payment to this employee for the disputed pay and related benefits
costs and legal fee reimbursement.
Motient's rights to use and sell the BlackBerryTM software and RIM's handheld
devices may be limited or made prohibitively expensive as a result of a patent
infringement lawsuit brought against RIM by NTP Inc. (NTP v. Research In Motion,
Civ. Action No. 3:01CV767 (E.D. Va.)). In that action, a jury concluded that
certain of RIM's BlackBerryTM products infringe on patents held by NTP covering
the use of wireless radio frequency information in email communications. On
August 5, 2003, the judge in the case ruled against RIM, awarding NTP $53.7
million in damages and enjoining RIM from making, using, or selling the
products, but stayed the injunction pending appeal by RIM. The appeal has not
yet been resolved. As a purchaser of those products, Motient could be adversely
affected by the outcome of that litigation.

F-49
Regulatory
The terrestrial two-way wireless data network used in Motient's wireless
business is regulated to varying degrees at the federal, state, and local
levels. Various legislative and regulatory proposals under consideration from
time to time by Congress and the FCC have in the past materially affected and
may in the future materially affect the telecommunications industry in general,
and Motient's wireless business in particular. The following is a summary of
significant laws, regulations and policies affecting the operation of Motient's
wireless business. In addition, many aspects of regulation at the federal, state
and local level currently are subject to judicial review or are the subject of
administrative or legislative proposals to modify, repeal, or adopt new laws and
administrative regulations and policies. Neither the outcome of these
proceedings nor their impact on Motient's operations can be predicted at this
time.
The ownership and operation of Motient's terrestrial network is subject to the
rules and regulations of the FCC, which acts under authority established by the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and related federal laws. Among other
things, the FCC allocates portions of the radio frequency spectrum to certain
services and grants licenses to and regulates individual entities using that
spectrum. Motient operates pursuant to various licenses granted by the FCC.
Motient is a commercial mobile radio service provider and therefore is regulated
as a common carrier. Motient must offer service at just and reasonable rates on
a first-come, first-served basis, without any unjust or unreasonable
discrimination, and Motient is subject to the FCC's complaint processes. The FCC
has forborne from applying numerous common carrier provisions of the
Communications Act to commercial mobile radio service providers. In particular,
Motient is not subject to traditional public utility rate-of-return regulation,
and is not required to file tariffs with the FCC.
The FCC's universal service fund supports the provision of affordable
telecommunications to high-cost areas, and the provision of advanced
telecommunications services to schools, libraries, and rural health care
providers. Under the FCC's current rules, end-user revenues derived from the
sale of information and other non-telecommunication services and certain
wholesale revenues derived from the sale of telecommunications services are not
subject to universal service fund obligations. Based on the nature of its
business, Motient is currently not required to contribute to the universal
service fund. Current rules also do not require that Motient impute to its
contribution base retail revenues derived when it uses its own transmission
facilities to provide a service that includes both information service and
telecommunications components. There can be no assurances that the FCC will
retain the exclusions described herein or its current policy regarding the scope
of a carrier's contribution base. Motient may also be required to contribute to
state universal service programs. The requirement to make these state universal
service payments, the amount of which in some cases may be subject to change and
is not yet determined, may have a material adverse effect on the conduct of
Motient's business.
Motient is subject to the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or
CALEA. Under CALEA, Motient must ensure that law enforcement agencies can
intercept certain communications transmitted over its networks. Motient must
also ensure that law enforcement agencies are able to access certain
call-identifying information relating to communications over Motient's networks.
The deadline for complying with the CALEA requirements and any rules
subsequently promulgated was June 30, 2002. Based on discussions with Federal
law enforcement agencies regarding the applicability of CALEA's provisions to
the Company, the Company does not believe that its network, which uses packet
data technology, is subject to the requirements of CALEA. At the suggestion of
Federal law enforcement agencies, the Company has developed an alternative
methodology for intercepting certain communications over its network for the
purposes of law enforcement surveillance. The Company believes this alternative
methodology has substantially the same functionality as the standards provided
in CALEA. It is possible that the Company's alternative methodology may
ultimately be found not to comply with CALEA's requirements, or the Company's
interpretation that CALEA does not apply to its network may ultimately be found
to be incorrect. Should these events occur, the requirement to comply with CALEA
could have a material adverse effect on the conduct of the Company's business.
In addition, CALEA establishes a federal fund to compensate telecommunications
carriers for all reasonable costs directly associated with modifications
performed by carriers in connection with equipment, facilities, and services
installed or deployed on or before January 1, 1995. For equipment, facilities,
and services deployed after January 1, 1995, the CALEA fund is intended to
compensate carriers for any reasonable costs associated with modifications
required to make compliance "reasonably achievable." It is possible that all
F-50
necessary modifications will not qualify for this compensation and that the
available funds will not be sufficient to reimburse Motient. Therefore, the
requirement to comply with CALEA could have a material adverse effect on the
conduct of Motient's business.
Motient's FCC licenses are granted for a term of 10 years, subject to renewal.
For Motient's non-market-based licenses, or non-auction licenses, renewal is
granted in the ordinary course. Motient no longer holds any auction licenses.
All such licenses were sold in November 2003 to Nextel Communications and its
affiliates.
As a matter of general regulation by the FCC, Motient is subject to, among other
things, payment of regulatory fees and restrictions on the level of radio
frequency emissions of Motient's systems' mobile terminals and base stations.
Any of these regulations may have an adverse impact on the conduct of Motient's
business.
Motient's FCC licenses are subject to restrictions in the Communications Act
that (i) certain FCC licenses may not be held by a corporation of which more
than 20% of its capital stock is directly owned of record or voted by non-U.S.
citizens or entities or their representatives and (ii) that no such FCC license
may be held by a corporation controlled by another corporation, referred to as
indirect ownership, if more than 25% of the controlling corporation's capital
stock is owned of record or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their
representatives, if the FCC finds that the public interest is served by the
refusal or revocation of such license. However, with the implementation of the
Basic Telecommunications Agreement, negotiated under the auspices of the World
Trade Organization and to which the United States is a party, the FCC will
presume that indirect ownership interests in the Company's FCC licenses in
excess of 25% by non-U.S. citizens or entities will be permissible to the extent
that the ownership interests are from World Trade Organization-member countries.
If the 25% foreign ownership limit is exceeded, the FCC could take a range of
potential actions, which could harm Motient's business.
Motient's terrestrial network consists of base stations licensed in the 800 MHz
business radio and specialized mobile radio services. The terrestrial network is
interconnected with the public switched telephone network.
The FCC's licensing regime in effect when the majority of authorizations used in
the terrestrial network were issued provided for individual, site-specific
licenses. The FCC has since modified the licensing process applicable to
specialized mobile radio licenses in the band. Specialized mobile radio licenses
are now issued by auction in wide-area, multi-channel blocks. The geographic
area and number of channels within a block vary depending on whether the
frequencies are in the so-called "Upper 200" specialized mobile radio channels,
the "General Category," or the "Lower 80." In addition, wide-area auction
winners in the Upper 200 have the right to relocate incumbent licensees to other
"comparable" spectrum. Auction winners in the General Category and Lower 80 do
not have these same relocation rights and must afford protection to incumbent
stations. Incumbent stations may not, however, expand their service areas.
Wide-area auction winners have substantial flexibility to install any number of
base stations including, in the case of the General Category and Lower 80
channels, base stations that operate on the same channels as incumbent
licensees. Motient was an incumbent in the Upper 200 and remains an incumbent on
certain General Category channels. Although the FCC requires General Category
and Lower 80 geographic licensees to protect incumbents from interference, there
is some concern that such interference may occur and that practical application
of the interference-protection rules may be uncertain.
Motient believes that it has licenses for a sufficient number of channels to
meet its current capacity needs on the terrestrial network.
Motient operates the terrestrial network under a number of waivers involving the
FCC's technical rules, including rules on station identification, for-profit use
of excess capacity, system loading, and multiple station ownership. Several of
these waivers were first obtained individually by IBM and Motorola, which
operated separate wireless data systems until forming the ARDIS joint venture in
1990. The FCC incorporated a number of these waivers into its regulations when
it implemented Congress's statutory provision creating the commercial mobile
radio service classification. As of March 3, 1999, Motient completed its planned
construction of base stations for which extended implementation was granted by
the FCC in 1996.
F-51
On March 14, 2002, the FCC adopted a notice of proposed rulemaking exploring
options and alternatives for improving the spectrum environment for public
safety operations in the 800 MHz band. This notice of proposed rulemaking was
issued by the FCC after a "white paper" proposal was submitted to the FCC by
Nextel Communications Inc. in November 2001 addressing largely the same issues.
In its white paper, Nextel proposed that certain of its wireless spectrum in the
700 MHz band, lower 800 MHz band, and 900 MHz band be exchanged for spectrum in
the upper 800 MHz band and in the 2.1 GHz band. Nextel's proposal addressed the
problem of interference to public safety agencies by creating blocks of
contiguous spectrum to be shared by public safety agencies. Since the notice of
proposed rulemaking was issued, Motient has been actively participating with
other affected licensees, including Nextel, to reach agreement on a voluntary
plan to re-allocate spectrum to alleviate interference to public safety
agencies. On December 24, 2002, a group of affected licensees, including
Motient, Nextel, and several other licensees, submitted a detailed proposal to
the FCC for accomplishing the re-allocation of spectrum over a period of several
years. These parties have also been negotiating a mechanism by which Nextel
would agree to reimburse costs, up to $850 million, incurred by affected
licensees in relocating to different parts of the spectrum band pursuant to the
rebanding plan.
In mid-April 2003, the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology ("OET") sent a
letter to several manufacturers requesting additional practical, technical and
procedural solutions or information that may have yet to be considered. Upon
reviewing the filed comments, OET has indicated that other technical solutions
were possible and were being reviewed by the FCC. To date, no action has been
taken by the FCC. We cannot assure you that our operations will not be affected
by this proceeding.

report, please see Note 16 ("Subsequent Events").

exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 under the Securities Act and/or
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. In connection with this sale, Motient signed
a registration rights agreement with the holders of these shares. Among other
things, this registration rights agreement requires Motient to file and cause to
make effective a registration statement permitting the resale of the shares by
the holders thereof. Motient also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
1,053,978 shares of our common stock to the investors listed, at an exercise
price of $5.50 per share. These warrants will vest if and only if Motient does
not meet certain deadlines between July and November, 2004, with respect to
certain requirements under the registration rights agreement. If the warrants
vest, they may be exercised by the holders thereof at any time through June 30,
2009. Because Motient met certain conditions following the issuance of the
warrants, they will never vest (unaudited).
In connection with this sale, Motient issued to Tejas Securities Group, Inc.,
its placement agent for the private placement, and certain CTA affiliates,
warrants to purchase 600,000 and 400,000 shares, respectively, of its common
stock. The exercise price of these warrants is $5.50 per share. The warrants are
immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a term of five years. Motient
also paid Tejas Securities Group, Inc. a placement fee of $350,000 at closing.

525,000 shares of our common stock to the investors listed above, at an exercise
price of $8.57 per share. These warrants will vest if and only if Motient does
not meet certain registration deadlines beginning in November, 2004, with
respect to certain requirements under the registration rights agreement. If the
warrants vest, they may be exercised by the holders thereof at any time through
June 30, 2009. Because Motient met certain conditions following the issuance of
the warrants, they will never vest (unaudited).
In connection with this sale, Motient issued to certain affiliates of CTA and
Tejas Securities Group, Inc., its placement agent for the private placement,
warrants to purchase 340,000 and 510,000 shares, respectively, of its common
stock. The exercise price of these warrants is $8.57 per share. The warrants are
immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a term of five years. Motient
also paid Tejas Securities Group, Inc. a placement fee of $850,000 at closing.
The shares were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration
afforded by Rule 506 under the Securities Act and/or Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act.
On November 12, 2004, Motient sold 15,353,609 shares of its common stock at a
per share price of $8.57. Motient received aggregate proceeds of $126,397,809,
net of $5,182,620 in commissions paid to its placement agent, Tejas Securities
Group, Inc. The approximately 60 purchasers included substantially all of the
purchasers from the April and July 2004 private placements, as well multiple new
investors. The sale of these shares was not registered under the Securities Act
and the shares may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration requirements. The shares were offered and
sold pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 under the
Securities Act and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. In connection with
this sale, Motient signed a registration rights agreement with the holders of
these shares. Among other things, this registration rights agreement required us
to file and cause to make effective a registration statement permitting the
resale of the shares by the holders thereof. Motient also issued warrants to
purchase an aggregate of approximately 3,838,401 shares of its common stock to
the investors listed above, at an exercise price of $8.57 per share. These
warrants will vest if and only if Motient does not meet certain deadlines
between January and March 2005 with respect to certain requirements under the
registration rights agreement. If the warrants vest, they may be exercised by
the holders thereof at any time through November 11, 2009. (Unaudited)
Rights Offering (Unaudited)
On November 22, Motient announced that it will issue to each of its stockholders
of record one right for each share of Motient common stock held as of the close
of business on December 17, 2004. Each right will entitle any holder that did
not participate in the April, July or November 2004 private placement to
purchase 0.103 shares of its common stock at a price of $8.57 per share, with
fractions rounded up to the next whole share. A maximum of 2.5 million shares
may be sold in the Rights Offering, generating maximum aggregate proceeds of
approximately $21.4 million.
F-54
The rights will be non-transferable and will expire if not exercised within the
exercise period. The rights will not be exercisable until the registration
statement covering the rights and the shares of underlying common stock is
declared effective by the SEC, and the exercise period will expire 30 days after
the rights become exercisable. Motient has not filed a registration statement
relating to the rights offering, but intends to do so as soon as reasonably
practicable. Motient expects to consummate this rights offering in early 2005.
The holders of the rights will not have over-subscription rights, and there will
be no backstop to purchase unsubscribed shares. Purchasers that purchased shares
in the November 12, 2004 private placement of its common stock, which include
all purchasers in its April 2 and July 2004 private placements, have waived
their right to participate in the rights offering.
Motient reserves the right to abandon this rights offering at any time prior to
the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the rights offering,
and upon any such abandonment, any and all of the rights previously issued will
be cancelled, will no longer be exercisable and will be of no further force or
effect.
Term Credit Facility
On March 16, 2004, Motient entered into an amendment to its credit facility
which extended the borrowing availability period until December 31, 2004. As
part of this amendment, Motient provided the lenders with a pledge of all of the
stock of a newly-formed special purpose subsidiary of Motient Communications,
Inc., Motient License Inc. ("Motient License") which holds all of Motient's FCC
licenses formerly held by Motient Communications. On March 16, 2004, in
connection with the execution of the amendment to the credit agreement, the
Company issued warrants to the lenders to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,000,000
shares of Motient's common stock. The number of warrants was reduced to an
aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock since, within 60 days after March
16, 2004, the Company obtained at least $7.5 million of additional debt or
equity financing. The exercise price of the warrants is $4.88 per share.
The warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a term of five
years. The warrants were valued at $6.7 million using a Black-Scholes pricing
model and are being recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized as
additional interest expense over three years, the term of the related debt.The
warrants are also subject to a registration rights agreement. Under such
agreement, Motient agreed to register the shares underlying the warrants upon
the request of a majority of the warrantholders, or in conjunction with the
registration of other common stock of the company. Motient will bear all the
expenses of such registration. Motient registered the shares underlying the
warrants in July 2004. (unaudited) The Company also paid a commitment fees to
the lenders of $320,000 which accrued into the principal balance at closing.
These fees will be recorded on Motient's balance sheet and will be amortized as
additional interest expense over three years, the term of the related debt
(unaudited).
On April 13, 2004, Motient repaid all principal amounts then owing under its
term credit facility, including accrued interest thereon, in an amount of $6.7
million. The remaining availability under the credit facility of $5.8 million
will be available for borrowing to the Company until December 31, 2004, subject
to the lending conditions in the credit agreement. On December 31, 2004,
borrowing availability under the facility terminated, and the Company does not
anticipate that it will be extended again (unaudited).
Developments Relating to MSV
On April 2, 2004, two exiting investors in MSV invested $17.6 million in MSV in
exchange for class A preferred units of limited partnership interests of MSV. In
connection with this investment, MSV's amended and restated investment agreement
was amended to provide that of the total $17.6 million in proceeds, $5.0 million
was used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness of MSV, including $2.0
million of accrued interest under the $15.0 million promissory note issued to
Motient by MSV. Motient was required to use 25% of the $2.0 million it received
in this transaction, or $500,000, to prepay its existing notes owed to Rare
Medium Group and CSFB. The remainder of the proceeds from this investment were
used for general corporate purposes by MSV. As of the closing of the additional
investment on April 2, 2004, Motient's percentage ownership of MSV was
approximately 29.5% on an "as converted" basis giving effect to the conversion
of all outstanding convertible notes of MSV.
In June 2004, MSV obtained certain rights to receive nationwide spectrum in the
S-band (2.1 GHz range) from its affiliate, TMI Communications and Company,
Limited Partnership, or TMI, as a result of the FCC's reinstatement of TMI's
S-band authorization on June 29, 2004. This reinstatement of TMI's S-band
authorization is subject to certain conditions. The S-band authorization
F-55
requires the satisfaction of certain satellite construction and other
milestones. There can be no assurances that such conditions and milestones will
be satisfied.
On November 8, 2004, the FCC issued an order granting MSV an ancillary
terrestrial component, or ATC, license, the first ATC license ever granted by
the FCC. The FCC also approved several of MSV's waiver requests, allowing MSV to
further enhance its service and coverage, but it specifically deferred its
ruling on other MSV waiver requests. The order sets forth various limitations
and conditions necessary to the use of ATC by MSV, but there can be no
assurances that such conditions will be satisfied by MSV, or that such
limitations will not be unnecessarily burdensome to MSV. Please review the full
FCC order for additional important information regarding the authorizations and
waivers granted to MSV, and the limitations and conditions set forth therein.
The order may be found on the FCC's website, www.fcc.gov. (Unaudited)
On November 12, 2004, Motient purchased approximately 5.4 million MSV limited
partnership units, and a corresponding number of shares in MSV's general
partner, Mobile Satellite Ventures GP Inc. ("MSV GP"). As consideration, Motient
provided MSV with $125 million in cash, converted its outstanding $15 million
principal note (and all accrued interest thereon) issued by MSV, converted its
$3.5 million of convertible notes issued by MSV, and converted the accrued
interest on such convertible notes. In connection with Motient's investment, the
other limited partners of MSV exchanged their outstanding notes (and the accrued
interest thereon), and one limited partner contributed an additional $20 million
in cash, for limited partnership units and a corresponding number of MSV GP
shares. Such investments and conversions increased Motient's ownership of MSV
from 29.5% (assuming conversion of all outstanding convertible notes) to 38.6%.
Motient does not control MSV and continues to account for its investment under
the equity method. (Unaudited)
On February 9, 2005, Motient entered into a merger agreement with Telcom
Satellite Ventures Inc. and Telcom Satellite Ventures II Inc. and simultaneously
consummated the transactions contemplated thereby, pursuant to which Telcom
merged with and into MVH Holdings Inc., a direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Motient, in a tax free reorganization in which MVH is the surviving company. In
exchange for 2,296,835 MSV limited partnership units, Motient issued to Telcom's
stockholders 8,187,804 shares of its common stock in a private placement.
(Unaudited)
Concurrently with this merger, Motient (through MVH) also purchased an aggregate
of 373.7 shares of common stock of Spectrum Space Equity Investors IV, Inc. and
two other related entities, representing approximately 66.3% of the outstanding
common stock of each of such entities, and an aggregate of 221.2 shares of
common stock of Columbia Space Partners, Inc. and two other related entities,
representing approximately 27.8% of the outstanding common stock of such
entities. In total, Motient issued to the Spectrum Entities and Columbia
Entities a total of 4,516,978 shares of Motient common stock in a private
placement in exchange for indirect ownership of 1,267,098 MSV units and a
corresponding number of shares of TerreStar and MSV's general partner.
(Unaudited)
In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreements, the parties entered into
stockholders agreements relating to each of the Spectrum Entities and Columbia
Entities, pursuant to which, among other things, the stockholders of such
entities agreed to cause each such entity to vote the interests of MSV, MSV's
general partner and TerreStar held by such entity in proportion to the ownership
of such entity. However, despite any protections offered by such stockholders
agreements, Motient can provide no assurances that its minority position in the
Columbia entities will not unduly impact the value of its investment in such
entities. (Unaudited)
At the consummation of these transactions, Motient's direct and indirect
ownership of MSV was approximately 49%. (Unaudited)
In connection with the execution of these transactions, Motient also entered
into a registration rights agreement with the stockholders of Telcom, Spectrum
and Columbia, and Motient also issued warrants to Telcom, Columbia and Spectrum
to purchase an aggregate of approximately 952,858 shares of Motient common
stock. The Warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price equal to
$22.50. Each Warrant shall become exercisable only if Motient does not meet
certain deadlines with respect to the registration of the shares covered by the
registration rights agreement. (Unaudited)
F-56
Motient's investment in MSV is governed by several agreements, including but not
limited to the limited partnership agreement of MSV and the stockholder's
agreement of MSV GP. The acquisition or disposition by MSV of its assets, the
acquisition or disposition of any limited partner's interest in MSV, subsequent
investment into MSV by any person, and any merger or other business combination
of MSV, would be subject to the control restrictions contained in such
documents. Such control restrictions include, but are not limited to, rights of
first refusal, tag along rights and drag along rights. Many of these actions,
among others, cannot occur without the consent of the majority of the ownership
interests of MSV. In addition the limited partners of MSV entered into a voting
agreement amongst themselves, which may restrict any signatories ability to give
such consent absent the agreement of the majority of the signatories to such
voting agreement. MSV plans to use the proceeds from this investment for general
corporate purposes. (Unaudited)
For additional information regarding MSV, please see the financial statements of
MSV beginning on page M-1. (Unaudited)
Rare Medium and CSFB Notes
On July 15, 2004, the Company paid all principal and interest due and owing on
its notes payable to Rare Medium and CSFB, in the aggregate amount of $23.5
million. (Unaudited)

In March 2004, Motient further restructured both the vendor financing facility
and the promissory note to Motorola, primarily to extend the amortization
periods for both the vendor financing facility and the promissory note. Motient
will amortize the combined balances in the amount of $100,000 per month
beginning in March 2004. Motient also agreed that interest would accrue on the
vendor financing facility at LIBOR plus 4%. As part of this restructuring,
Motient agreed to grant Motorola a second lien (junior to the lien held by the
lenders under our term credit facility) on the stock of Motient License. This
pledge secures Motient's obligations under both the vendor financing facility
and the promissory note.
Management and Board Changes
On February 10, 2004, the Company and Walter V. Purnell, Jr. mutually agreed to
end his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of Motient and all
of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Concurrently, Mr. Purnell resigned as a
director of such entities and of MSV and all of its subsidiaries.
On February 18, 2004, Daniel Croft, Senior Vice President, Marketing and
Business Development, and Michael Fabbri, Senior Vice President, Sales, were
relieved of their duties as part of a reduction in force.
On March 18, 2004 the board of directors elected Christopher W. Downie to the
position of executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, and
designated Mr. Downie as the Company's principal executive officer.
On May 6, 2004, the board of directors elected Raymond L. Steel to serve as a
member of the board. Mr. Steele was also elected to the Company's audit
committee.
F-57
On May 6, 2004 the board of directors elected Robert L. Macklin to the position
of General Counsel and Secretary.
On May 24, 2004 the board of directors designated Myrna J. Newman, the Company's
controller and chief accounting officer, as the principal financial officer of
the Company.
Also on May 24, 2004, the board of directors elected Christopher W. Downie to
the position of executive vice president, chief operating officer and treasurer.
Mr. Downie remains the principal executive officer.
On June 15, 2004, the board of directors designated Jonelle St. John and Raymond
J. Steele as the board's financial experts.
Change in Accountants
On March 2, 2004, Motient dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers as its independent
auditors effective immediately. The audit committee of the Company's Board
approved the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers. PricewaterhouseCoopers was
previously appointed to audit Motient's consolidated financial statements for
the period May 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002, and, by its terms, such engagement
was to terminate upon the completion of services related to such audit.
PricewaterhouseCoopers has not reported on Motient's consolidated financial
statements for such period or for any other fiscal period. On March 2, 2004, the
audit committee engaged Ehrenkrantz Sterling & Co. LLC as Motient's independent
auditors to replace PricewaterhouseCoopers to audit Motient's consolidated
financial statements for the period May 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002.
On June 1, 2004, Ehrenkrantz Sterling & Co. LLC, merged with the firm of
Friedman Alpren & Green LLP. The new entity, Friedman LLP has been retained by
Motient and the Audit Committee of Motient's Board of Directors approved this
decision on June 4, 2004.
For further details regarding the change in accountants, please see the
Company's current report on Form 8K filed with the SEC on April 23, 2003 and the
Company's amendment to its current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on
April 23, 2003 and March 9, 2004.
CTA Arrangements
On January 30, 2004, the Company engaged CTA to act as chief restructuring
entity. The term of CTA's engagement is currently scheduled to end on August 1,
2004. As consideration for this work, Motient agreed to pay to CTA a monthly fee
of $60,000. The new agreement amended the existing consulting arrangement with
CTA. In addition, since the initial engagement of CTA, the payment of certain
monthly fees to CTA has been deferred. In April 2004, Motient paid CTA $440,000
for all past deferred fees. In December 2004, certain affiliates of CTA were
granted options to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of $8.57 per share. (Unaudited) The options are immediately vested and
have a term of 10 years. (Unaudited)
Termination of Motorola and Hewlett-Packard Agreements (Unaudited)
In June 2004, the Company negotiated settlements terminating its outstanding
financing facilities with Motorola and its lease with Hewlett-Packard for
certain network equipment. The full amount due and owing under these agreements
was a combined $6.8 million. Motient paid or will pay a combined $3.9 million in
cash and will issue a warrant to Motorola to purchase 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $8.68, in full satisfaction of the
outstanding balances. In the case of Hewlett-Packard, the Company took title to
all of the leased equipment and software, and in the case of Motorola, there was
no equipment or service that Motorola was obligated to provide. Additionally,
Hewlett-Packard released to the Company its $1.1 million letter of credit.

Regulatory
It was reported that in March of 2004, the staff of the FCC circulated a draft
order to the five FCC Commissioners recommending adoption of the plan for the
reallocation of the 800 MHz spectrum commonly known as the "Consensus Plan".
However, the staff apparently also recommended the rejection of Nextel's offer
to pay $850 million to recover the costs of the re-allocation of the spectrum,
as the staff apparently felt this amount to be insufficient to cover the costs
of such re-allocation. On April 8, 2004, Motient filed a request with the FCC
asking that the FCC relocate Motient into the so called "upper-800 MHz band" as
part of the Consensus Plan.
The FCC did not adopt the order in April, and one month later, the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association, or CTIA, proposed a plan that would
grant Nextel alternative spectrum in the less valuable 2.1 GHz band. Verizon
Wireless has advanced CTIA's and a similar plan, and has pledged to bid $5
billion for the 1.9 GHz spectrum if those airwaves are auctioned. Nextel has
vigorously opposed the CTIA and Verizon Wireless plans, insisting that it be
allowed to relocate to the 1.9 GHz spectrum. News accounts have stated that some
senior officials at the FCC would prefer to grant Nextel the 2.1 GHz spectrum
because such a grant is less subject to a court challenge as an impermissible
sale of spectrum outside of an auction. Some members of Congress have also
expressed interest in the proceeding. Given the uncertain outcome of this
proceeding, we cannot assure you that our operations will not be affected by it.
On August 6, 2004, the FCC released the text of its July 8, 2004 order. The text
of the order did not grant Motient's request, but neither did it explicitly deny
it. (Unaudited) On December 2, 2004, Motient filed comments with the FCC seeking
to clarify and implement Motient's original request of April 8, 2004.
(Unaudited) On December 22, 2004, the FCC clarified that Motient would generally
be allowed, subject to certain conditions, to move its 800MHz frequencies to the
upper-800 MHz band. (Unaudited) Motient cannot assure that its operations will
be not affected by the adoption or implementation of this order or any
subsequent addenda. (Unaudited)
Legal
On April 15, 2004, Motient filed a claim under the rules of the American
Arbitration Association in Fairfax County, VA, against Wireless Matrix
Corporation, a reseller of Motient's services, for the non-payment of certain
amounts due and owing under the "take-or-pay" agreement between Motient and
Wireless Matrix. Under this agreement, Wireless Matrix agreed to purchase
certain minimum amounts of air-time on the Motient network. In February 2004
Wireless Matrix informed Motient that it was terminating its agreement with
Motient. Motient did not believe that Wireless Matrix had any valid basis to do
so, and consequently filed the above mentioned claim seeking over $2.6 million
in damages, which amount represents Wireless Matrix's total prospective
commitment under the agreement. On May 10, 2004, Motient received notice of a
counter-claim by Wireless Matrix of approximately $1 million, representing such
amounts as Wireless Matrix claimed to have paid in excess of services rendered
under the agreement. In June 2004, Motient reached a favorable out of court
agreement with Wireless Matrix in which Wireless Matrix paid Motient $1.1
million.
On December 14, 2004, an appeals court found that Research in Motion had
violated several patents held by NTP, Inc., but also found fault with certain
instructions given to the jury in the initial patent infringement suit it filed
by NTP against Research In Motion. Consequently, the appeals court vacated the
injunction preventing the sale by RIM of certain of its products granted to NTP
by the lower court and remanded the case for further proceedings. (Unaudited)
2004 Restricted Stock Plan (Unaudited)
In August 2004, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan, and subsequently
registered the shares to be issued under such plan on a registration statement
on Form S-8. Pursuant to this plan, the Company may issue up to 1,000,000 shares
of restricted common stock to employees or directors. In September 2004, the
Company issued an aggregate of 15,400 shares of restricted stock to its
directors as partial compensation for their service on the board of directors.
Such shares will vest six months after issue, or upon a change of control of the
Company.
Reseller Agreements (Unaudited)
In October and November 2004, respectively, the Company terminated its dealer
agreements with Verizon and T-Mobile that allowed it to sell mobile internet
devices for use on their wireless networks. Concurrently with the termination of
the Company's agreement with T-Mobile, it signed a sub-dealer agreement with
RACO, Inc., that will allow the Company to continue to sell mobile internet
F-59
devices for use on T-Mobile's wireless network. Also in October and November
2004, respectively, the Company signed reseller agreements with AT&T Wireless
Services Inc., (now Cingular) and Sprint Spectrum, LP, allowing the Company to
sell and promote applications and solutions to enterprise accounts on their
networks.
iMotient Solutions (Unaudited)
In December 2004, the Company launched a new set of products and services
designed to integrate a suite of its own products and services into an
integrated, network agnostic, product called iMotient Solutions. iMotient allows
Motient's customers to use multiple networks via a single connection to Motient,
providing a one-source alternative for development, device management and
billing across multiple networks, including but not limited to GPRS, 1XRTT, and
DataTac. Once connected to iMotient, customers will receive a suite of
proprietary applications and services that Motient believes will reduce airtime
usage, improve performance and reduce costs.

Summary of Impact of the Restatement of Financial Statements
The revised accounting treatment described in Note 2 ("Significant Accounting
Policies -- Restatement of Financial Statements") requires that certain
adjustments be made to the income statements and balance sheets for the
respective quarters of 2001 and the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The effect of
these adjustments is illustrated in the table below. The adjustments reflected
in the table below were reviewed by Motient's independent auditor, Ehrenkrantz
Sterling & Co. LLC. Certain of the adjustments are based on assumptions that
Motient has made about the fair value of certain assets.

Report of Independent Auditors
General Partner and Unit Holders
Mobile Satellite Ventures LP
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mobile Satellite
Ventures LP (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company) as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Mobile Satellite Ventures LP
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

Mobile Satellite Ventures LP and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Information as of September 30, 2004 and for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2003 and 2004 is unaudited)
1. Organization and Business
Mobile Satellite Venture LP's predecessor company, Motient Satellite Ventures
LLC, was organized as a limited liability company pursuant to the Delaware
Limited Liability Company Act on June 16, 2000 by Motient Corporation (Motient).
On December 19, 2000, Motient Satellite Ventures LLC changed its name to Mobile
Satellite Ventures LLC. The Company commenced operations in June 2000 and was
considered a development stage enterprise until November 26, 2001. On November
26, 2001, Mobile Satellite Ventures LLC (MSV LLC) was converted into a limited
partnership, Mobile Satellite Ventures LP (MSV or the Company), subject to the
laws of the state of Delaware. Concurrently, the Company acquired certain assets
and liabilities of the Motient and TMI Communications LP (TMI) satellite
businesses and issued $55.0 million of notes to certain existing and new
investors in exchange for cash. In connection with its purchase of TMI's
satellite business, the Company acquired a 20% equity interest in Mobile
Satellite Ventures (Canada) Inc. (MSV Canada) and 33-1/3% equity interest in
Mobile Satellite Ventures Holdings (Canada) Inc. (MSV Holdings).
The Company provides mobile satellite and communications services to individual
and corporate customers in the United States and Canada via its own satellite
and leased satellite capacity. The Company's operations are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties including technological, competitive,
financial, operational, and regulatory risks associated with the wireless
communications business. Uncertainties also exist regarding the Company's
ability to raise additional debt and equity financing and the ultimate
profitability of the Company's proposed next-generation wireless system. The
Company will require substantial additional capital resources to construct its
next-generation wireless system.
The Company's current operating assumptions and projections, which reflect
management's best estimate of future revenue and operating expenses, indicate
that anticipated operating expenditures through 2005 can be met by cash flows
from operations and available working capital; however, the Company's ability to
meet its projections is subject to uncertainties, and there can be no assurance
that the Company's current projections will be accurate. If the Company's cash
requirements are more than projected, the Company may require additional
financing. In addition, the Company entered into a satellite construction
contract (see Note 9) during 2002 and assumed certain obligations under another
system development contract in 2004 (see Note 3) that may require the Company to
obtain additional funding to finance the required payments unless one or both of
the contracts are either amended or terminated by the Company

1. Organization and Business (continued)
prior to certain payment due dates. The Company is not currently planning to
terminate the contracts, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to enter into amendments that will defer payments in a manner consistent
with the Company's next-generation business plans. The type, timing, and terms
of financing, if required, selected by the Company will be dependent upon the
Company's cash needs, the availability of financing sources, and the prevailing
conditions in the financial markets. There can be no assurance that such
financing will be available to the Company at any given time or available on
favorable terms.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. All significant intercompany accounts
are eliminated upon consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States for interim financial information. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 have
been recorded. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire fiscal year or for any future period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Significant estimates

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates (continued)
affecting the consolidated financial statements include management's judgments
regarding the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory, future
cash flows expected from long-lived assets, and accrued expenses for probable
losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments such as money
market accounts with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash
In connection with the purchase of the Motient satellite business, the Company
retained $4.0 million, which was restricted to pay Motient's rent obligation to
the Company for the lease of office space in the Company's headquarters and to
ensure the provision of certain services to the Company by Motient under a
transition services agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the
agreement was amended, an additional $1,104,708 was released to Motient, and
$336,060 was released to MSV. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003,
$955,533 and $530,742, respectively, was used to satisfy Motient's obligations
under its sublease with the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2002
and 2003, $1,011,002 and $50,708, respectively, was remitted to Motient for
services provided to MSV.
Inventory
Inventories consist of finished goods that are communication devices and are
stated at the lower of cost or market, average cost method. The Company
periodically assesses the market value of its inventory, based on sales trends
and forecasts and technological changes, and records a charge to current period
income when such factors indicate that a reduction in net realizable value is
appropriate.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Prepaid Satellite Capacity and Services
During 2000, the Company prepaid for $14.6 million of satellite capacity and
related services provided by Motient and expected to be used by the Company for
certain research and development activities during the two-year period ending
June 30, 2002. The prepaid satellite capacity and related services was being
amortized over this two-year period. During the year ended December 31, 2001,
the Company recorded $6,610,552 of amortization. On November 26, 2001, the
unamortized balance of approximately $4.3 million was applied to the purchase
price of the Motient satellite business (see Note 3).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment acquired in business combinations are recorded at their
estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. Purchases of property and
equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the
asset or the remaining lease term.
Property and equipment consisted of the following:

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company
reviews its long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible
assets other than goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To
determine the recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the
probability that future estimated undiscounted net cash flows will be less than
the carrying amount of the assets. If such estimated cash flows are less than
the carrying amount of the long-lived assets, then such assets are written down
to their fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2002 or 2003. No impairment charges were recorded in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. The Company may reduce its estimates
of anticipated cash flows and the remaining estimated useful lives of long-lived
assets in the future. As a result, the carrying amount of long-lived assets may
be reduced in the future.
Goodwill
The Company's goodwill arose from the November 2001 Motient and TMI
acquisitions. Because these transactions were consummated after June 30, 2001,
the Company applies the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized into
results of operations, but instead is reviewed for impairment and written down
and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded
value of goodwill is determined to be more than its estimated fair value. The
Company performs its annual impairment test on December 31, or when certain
triggering events occur. No impairment charges were recorded in the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003. No events have occurred during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2004 to trigger an additional impairment test.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that
may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company maintains its cash and
cash equivalents at high credit quality institutions, and as a result,
management believes that credit risk related to its cash is not significant.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Concentrations of Credit Risk (continued)
The Company generally grants credit to customers on an unsecured basis. Risk on
accounts receivable is reduced through ongoing evaluation of probability of
collection of amounts owed to the Company. The Company records an allowance for
doubtful accounts equal to the amount estimated to be potentially uncollectible.
The Company's significant customers, as measured by percentage of total
revenues, were as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires
disclosures regarding the fair value of certain financial instruments. The
carrying amount of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value because
of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company estimates the fair
value of its notes payable using estimated market prices based upon the current
interest rate environment and the remaining term to maturity. The Company
believes the fair value of these liabilities approximates their carrying value.
Stock-Based Compensation
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not
require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee
compensation plans using the fair value method. The Company has chosen to
account for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method
as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB Opinion) No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related interpretations.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value of the options granted was
estimated at the grant date using an option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.5% to
3.5%, no dividends, expected life of the options of five years, no volatility.
Income Taxes
As a limited partnership, the Company is not subject to income tax directly.
Rather, each unit holder is subject to income taxation based on the unit
holder's portion of the Company's income or loss as defined in the limited
partnership agreement.
Derivatives
The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, which requires
the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at
fair value with changes in fair value of derivatives other than hedges reflected
as current period income (loss) unless the derivatives qualify as hedges of
future cash flows. For derivatives qualifying as hedges of future cash flows,
the effective portion of changes in fair value is

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Derivatives (continued)
recorded temporarily in equity and then recognized in earnings along with the
related effects of the hedged items. Any ineffective portion of hedges is
reported in earnings as it occurs.
In the normal course of business the Company is exposed to the impact of
fluctuations in the exchange rate with the Canadian dollar. The Company limits
this risk by following an established foreign currency financial management
policy. This policy provides for the use of forward and option contracts, which
limit the effects of exchange rate fluctuations of the Canadian dollar on
financial results. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or
speculative purposes.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company hedged aggregate exposures of $2,800,000,
by entering into forward exchange contracts requiring the purchase of the
Canadian dollar and the sale of the U.S. dollar. In general, the forward
exchange contracts have varying maturities up to, but not exceeding, one year
with cash settlements made at maturity based upon rates agreed to at contract
inception. These forward exchange contracts satisfy the hedge criteria of SFAS
No. 133, and therefore, the Company realized a gain on these contracts of
$81,712, for the year ended December 31, 2003, which is reflected as a component
of accumulated other comprehensive income and as an asset within prepaid
expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2004 and for the
nine-month period then ended, the Company had hedged aggregate exposures of
approximately $890,000 and realized a gain on these contracts of $39,563, which
is reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily through the sale of wireless airtime
service and equipment. The Company recognizes revenue when the services are
performed or delivery has occurred, evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee
is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company receives
activation fees related to initial registration for retail customers. Revenue
from activation fees is deferred and recognized ratably over the customer's
contractual service period, generally one year.

Foreign Currency and International Operations
The functional currency of one of the Company's subsidiaries is the Canadian
dollar. The financial statements of this subsidiary are translated to U.S.
dollars using period-end rates for assets and liabilities, which is included as
a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying
balance sheet. In addition, the Company realized foreign exchange transaction
gains (losses), which are a component of other income in the accompanying
statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003,
realized foreign exchange transaction (losses) gains were $(266,507) and
$444,753, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and
2004, the realized foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) were $40,695 and
$13,192, respectively.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for its equity investments in MSV Canada and MSV Holdings
pursuant to the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of these
investments was $0 at each balance sheet date presented. Because the Company is
obligated to provide working capital financial support to MSV Canada through a
management agreement, the Company records losses related to such funding as
equity in losses of MSV Canada in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires
foreign currency translation adjustments and the change in market value of
effective derivative instruments to be included in other comprehensive income.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year
presentation.

Recent Pronouncements
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). EITF 00-21 provides
guidance on how to determine whether a revenue arrangement involving multiple
deliverable items contains more than one unit of accounting and, if so, requires
that revenue be allocated amongst the different units based on fair value. EITF
00-21 also requires that revenue on any item in a revenue arrangement with
multiple deliverables not delivered completely must be deferred until delivery
of the item is completed. The guidance in EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue
arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The
Company implemented EITF 00-21 in 2003. Its implementation did not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46 (FIN),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51, which requires the consolidation of an entity in which
an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a
majority of the entity's expected residual returns, or both, as a result of
ownership or contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Currently,
an entity is generally consolidated by an enterprise when the enterprise has a
controlling financial interest in the entity through ownership of a majority
voting interest in the entity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adoption of FIN 46, which will be required for the first annual period beginning
after December 15, 2004.
3. Acquisitions
Acquisition of the Motient Satellite Business
During 2000, the Company paid $10.8 million to Motient representing an asset
purchase deposit. The asset purchase deposit was being amortized over the
two-year period during which the Company had the right to close on the purchase
of the Motient satellite business. Pursuant to the Motient Asset Purchase
Agreement, the unamortized asset purchase deposit balance of approximately $3.2
million was included as part of the purchase price of the Motient satellite
business. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded
$4,906,104 of amortization related to the asset purchase deposit.

3. Acquisitions (continued)
Motient Asset Purchase Agreement and Investment Agreement
Under the original terms of the Motient Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company
obtained from Motient the right to purchase (Motient Asset Purchase Deposit) the
Motient satellite business for an additional cash payment. In June 2000, certain
investors (Investors) unrelated to Motient paid $50 million to the Company (in
the aggregate) in exchange for a minority equity interest in the Company.
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Investors also acquired certain rights
to convert, at their option, their initial investment in the Company into shares
of Motient's common stock (Motient Conversion Right).
In connection with the original terms of the Motient Asset Purchase Agreement,
the Company paid $29.4 million to Motient for the Motient Asset Purchase Deposit
and the Motient Conversion Right. This amount was allocated between the Motient
Asset Purchase Deposit ($10.8 million) and the Motient Conversion Right ($18.6
million) based on the relative fair value of each. Similarly, a portion ($18.6
million) of the proceeds of the sale of the minority equity interest in the
Company was allocated to the written call option that permitted the investors to
exercise the Motient Conversion Right. The remaining investment proceeds were
allocated to the purchase of the equity interest.
The Company estimated the fair value of both the call option purchase from
Motient on its common stock and the call option written to the Investors on the
Motient common stock based on advice from an independent appraiser to be
approximately $18.6 million using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company
accounted for both the purchased and written call options on Motient common
stock as derivatives pursuant to SFAS No. 133. During 2002 and 2001, Motient
underwent a restructuring and reorganization that resulted in such options
having no value. As a result, the fair value of both of these options at
December 31, 2002 was $0, and the net change in fair value of these derivatives
for the year then ended was $0.

3. Acquisitions (continued)
TMI Asset Purchase
In January 2001, the Company entered into certain agreements (January 2001
Agreements) with Motient, the Investors, and TMI. The January 2001 Agreements
provided for TMI to contribute the TMI satellite business to the Company in
exchange for certain equity interests in the Company, $7.5 million in cash, and
an $11.5 million five-year note. Pursuant to the January 2001 Agreements, a
portion of the Company's payment to TMI was to be funded by a loan from Motient
in the amount of $2.5 million, as evidenced by a note.
The January 2001 Agreements required that, upon closing, Motient contribute the
Motient satellite business to the Company in exchange for a cash payment of
$45.0 million and a $15.0 million five-year note. The January 2001 Agreements
were amended in October 2001 (October 2001 Agreements). Pursuant to the October
2001 Agreements, the Company issued $50.0 million of convertible notes
(Convertible Notes) to a New Investor, as well as $2.5 million of Convertible
Notes to the Investors and $2.5 million of Convertible Notes to Motient.
2001 Acquisitions
On November 26, 2001, MSV completed the acquisition of certain satellite assets
and related liabilities from Motient and TMI. The satellite businesses provide
satellite voice and data communications services to customers in North America.
These transactions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the
acquired Motient and TMI satellite businesses subsequent to November 26, 2001.
At the time of the acquisitions, the Company allocated the purchase price to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the preliminary basis based on their
respective estimated fair values. During 2002, the Company revised its purchase
price allocation based upon changes in estimates related primarily to certain
liabilities assumed in the acquisition.
In addition, under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid a total of $6.6
million through December 31, 2003 in contingent consideration to Motient for the
provision of services to a customer under a contract assumed by the Company.
These payments were accounted for as contingent consideration and were included
in the determination of the purchase price when paid to Motient. The $2.2
million final payment made during 2003 served to increase recorded goodwill. As
of December 31, 2003, there were no contingent purchase payments remaining.

as a result of the $2.2 million contingent purchase price payment to Motient.
The increase in goodwill from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004 is a

4. Long-Term Debt
Notes Payable
On November 26, 2001, the Company issued $55.0 million of Convertible Notes and
$26.5 million of Non-Convertible Notes, respectively (collectively, the Notes).
The Notes mature on November 26, 2006 and bear interest at 10% per annum,
compounded semi-annually and payable at maturity.
The Convertible Notes are convertible, at any time, into the Company's Class A
Preferred Units (Preferred Units) equal to a number of Preferred Units
determined by dividing the principal being converted by $6.45. The conversion
price of $6.45 (Conversion Price) is subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. The terms of the Convertible Notes were amended during 2003 to
automatically convert into Preferred Units upon the Company's payment in full of
the principal and accrued interest on the Non-Convertible Notes and the accrued
interest on the Convertible Notes.
In August 2002, the Company issued an additional $3.0 million of Convertible
Notes. These notes were issued with terms identical to those of the Convertible
Notes issued in November 2001. In August 2003, the Company repaid approximately
$1.6 million of the principal and all of the accrued interest of approximately
$2.1 million, on one of the Non-Convertible Notes, as required by the Interim
Investment (Note 5).
In April 2004, the Company made payments totaling $5.0 million, approximately
$2.4 million of principal and $2.6 million of interest, respectively, on the
Non-Convertible Notes.

fully diluted interests in the Company.
The Class A Preferred Units and Common Units carry many of the same rights and
privileges, except the Class A Preferred Units have preference over the Common
Units in receiving proceeds resulting from a distribution of assets in certain
circumstances. The general partner did not hold any units as of December 31,
2001, 2002, or 2003. As of December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003, there were
14,642,732 Common Units held by limited partners. As of December 31, 2001, 2002,
and 2003, limited partners held 2,000,000, 2,000,000, and 2,573,951, Class A
Preferred Units, respectively. As of September 30, 2004, there were no units
held by the general partners, 14,642,732 Common Units held by limited partners
and 5,309,268 Class A Preferred Units held by limited partners (see Note 10).
Allocation of Profits and Losses
Prior to November 26, 2001, profits for any fiscal year were allocated to the
members, after giving effect to certain allocations, in the following order of
priority:
o First, among the Investors in proportion to, and to the extent of, any
prior allocations to the Investors of losses for all prior fiscal years
o Second, 100% to Motient until cumulative profits allocated to Motient for
all fiscal years are equal to the cumulative losses previously allocated to
Motient for all prior fiscal years
o Third, to each member in the proportion required such that the cumulative
profits allocated to each member for all fiscal years are equal to the
cumulative losses previously allocated to each such member for all prior
years
o Thereafter, the balance, if any, among the members in accordance with their
equity percentage interests

Allocation of Profits and Losses (continued)
Prior to November 26, 2001, losses for any fiscal year were allocated to the
members, after giving effect to certain allocations, in the following order of
priority:
o First, among the members in proportion to, and to the extent of, any prior
allocations to the members of profits for all prior fiscal years
o Second, among the members in proportion to their respective unreturned
subsequent capital contributions until the sum of the Investors' adjusted
capital account balances is equal to their initial capital contributions
o Third, 100% to Motient until its adjusted capital account balance has been
reduced to zero
o Thereafter, among the Investors in proportion to their respective adjusted
capital account balances
Effective November 26, 2001, profits and losses are allocated to the partners in
proportion to their economic interests. Losses allocated to any partner for any
fiscal year will not exceed the maximum amount of losses that may be allocated
to such partner without causing such partner to have an adjusted capital account
deficit at the end of such fiscal year. Any losses in excess of this limitation
shall be specially allocated solely to the other partners. Thereafter,
subsequent profits shall be allocated to reverse any such losses specially
allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence.
Distributions
Except for certain capital proceeds and upon liquidation, the Company shall make
distributions as determined by the Board of Directors to the partners in

5. Partners' Equity (continued)
Distributions (continued)
Upon dissolution of the Company, a liquidating trustee shall be appointed by the
Board, or under certain circumstances, the required investor majority, as
defined, who shall immediately commence to wind up the Company's affairs. The
proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed, in the following order:
o First, to creditors of the Company, including partners, in the order
provided by law
o Thereafter, to the partners in the same order as other distributions
Issuance of Class A Preferred Units
In August 2003, the Company amended the October 2001 Agreements and entered into
the First Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (Amended Agreement) with the
partners. Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, within 90 days of receipt of
the final approval from the FCC (as defined), and provided that the approval
occurred before March 31, 2004, the Investors would invest up to an additional
$21.3 million in the Company in return for additional equity interests. The
Amended Agreement extended this timeline and divided the investment originally
contemplated in the October 2001 agreements into two tranches: an Interim
Investment and a Subsequent Investment.
In August 2003, under the Interim Investment, the Company received $3.7 million
in exchange for the issuance of 573,951 Class A Preferred Units at $6.45 per
unit to the Investors in the amounts of their respective subscription and
contributions. The Company used these funds to repay approximately $1.6 million
of the principal and approximately $2.1 million of accrued interest on one of
the Non-Convertible Notes (see Note 4).
In April 2004, the Company received $17.6 million of Subsequent Investment
proceeds from the Investors in exchange for the issuance of 2,735,317 of Class A
Preferred Units to the Investors and repaid approximately $2.4 million of the
principal balance and approximately $2.6 million of accrued interest on
Non-Convertible Notes (see Notes 4 and 10).

6. Unit Option Plans
MSV Option Plan
In December 2001, the Company adopted a unit option incentive plan (Unit Option
Incentive Plan). Under the Unit Option Incentive Plan, the Company reserved for
issuance and may grant up to 5,000,000 options to acquire units to employees and
directors upon approval by the Board of Directors. Options to acquire units
generally vest over a three-year period and the options to acquire units have a
10-year life.
During 2004 the Company granted options at less than the estimated fair market
value of the related units on the option's grant date. As a result, the Company
recorded $3,949,345 in deferred compensation during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2004. The deferred compensation is being amortized over the
options' three-year vesting period. For the nine-month period ended September
30, 2004, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $124,942.
The Company has promised to grant an additional 235,000 options during the year
ended December 31, 2005 to certain executives of the Company of which 200,000
will have an exercise price of the lower of $6.45 or the price at which the most
recent financing transaction has occurred, and 35,000 will have an exercise
price of $6.45.
The following summarizes activity in the Unit Incentive Option Plan:

6. Unit Option Plans (continued)
MSV Option Plan (continued)
At December 31, 2002 and 2003, 439,500 and 468,435 options were exercisable,
respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2003, the weighted-average remaining
contractual life for outstanding options was 8.6 years and 9.0 years,
respectively. The weighted-average fair value of unit options granted during the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 was $1.30, $1.30, and $0.91 per
unit, respectively. As of September 30, 2004, 1,374,333 options were exercisable
and the weighted-average remaining contractual life for outstanding options was
8.3 years. The weighted-average fair value of unit options granted during the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 was $0.91 and $3.76 per
unit, respectively.
TerreStar Option Plan
In July 2002, the Board of Directors of TerreStar approved the 2002 TerreStar
Stock Incentive Plan. The plan terms are similar to the Unit Option Incentive
Plan. Options to acquire shares generally vest over a 3-year period and the
options to acquire units have a 10-year life. At December 31, 2002 and 2003, the
weighted-average remaining contractual life for outstanding options was 9.5 and
8.6 years, respectively. As of September 30, 2004, 1,146,466 options were
exercisable and the weighted-average remaining contractual life for outstanding
options was 8.2 years. (see Note 10)

7. Related Party Transactions
During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003, the Company incurred
$479,161, $1,441,673, and $150,966 of administrative expenses related primarily
to services provided by Motient. During the nine-month periods ended September
30, 2003 and 2004, the Company incurred $125,709 and $1,180, respectively,
of administrative expenses primarily to services provided by Motient. In
addition, the Company provided facilities-related services to Motient of
$133,729 during the year ended December 31, 2003.
The Company has an arrangement with MSV Canada, under which the Company provides
management services to MSV Canada and purchases satellite capacity from MSV
Canada. MSV Canada owns the satellite formerly owned by TMI. The Company earns
the management fee under the management agreement by providing certain services
to MSV Canada such as allowing access to its intellectual property; providing
voice- and data-switching capabilities; providing backup, restoral, and
emergency spectrum and satellite capacity and providing accounting, customer
service, and billing services. The Company recognizes the related management fee
income in the month in which the rights and services are provided.
The Company leases satellite capacity from MSV Canada pursuant to a lease
agreement. The term of the lease extends for 25 years and may be terminated by
the Company with one year's notice or by either party in certain circumstances.
The amount of the lease payments is determined by the parties periodically based
upon the amount of capacity usage by the Company and market rates. Payments due
under the lease may be offset against amounts owed to the Company.
During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003, the Company incurred
$78,000, $117,000, and $36,025, respectively, of consulting expenses for
services provided by a company controlled by one of the Company's Investors,
which is included in legal, regulatory, and consulting expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, the Company incurred $0 and $58,316,
respectively, for these services.
The Company leases office space from an affiliate of TMI (see Note 8). The
Company has also entered into an agreement with this company to obtain
telemetry, tracking, and control services. The agreement ends April 30, 2006,
with automatic extension for three successive additional renewal periods of one
year each. The agreement may be

terminated at any time, provided that the Company makes a payment equal to the
lesser of 12 months of service or the remaining service fee. Under the services
agreement, the Company paid $28,443, $378,462, and $360,819, during the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003, respectively. During the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, the Company paid $217,053 and
$312,167, respectively, for these services.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
As of December 31, 2003, the Company has noncancelable operating leases,
expiring through August 2008. Rental expense, net of sublease income, for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003, was approximately $67,000,
$1,800,000, and $1,100,000, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2003 and 2004, the Company's rental expense, net of sublease
income was approximately $732,000 and $937,000, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases with initial
terms of one year or more are as follows for the years ended December 31:
2004 $1,253,689
2005 1,250,789
2006 1,243,969
2007 1,243,969
2008 898,309
----------
$5,890,725

The minimum lease payment for 2004 is net of expected sublease income of
approximately $67,000. Office facility leases may provide for periodic
escalations of rent, rent abatements during specified periods of the lease, and
payment of pro rata portions of building operating expenses, as defined. The
Company records rent expense for operating leases using the straight-line method
over the term of the lease agreement.

8. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Litigation and Claims
The Company is periodically a party to lawsuits and claims in the normal course
of business. While the outcome of the lawsuits and claims against the Company
cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate
resolution of the matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that
arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company records
contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made
and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2003, the
Company accrued $400,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This amount was paid during the nine
months ended September 30, 2004.
Regulatory Matters
During 2001, Motient applied to the FCC to transfer licenses and authorizations
related to its L-Band mobile satellite system (MSS) to MSV. Such transfer was
approved in November 2001. In connection with this application, Motient sought
FCC authority to launch and operate a next-generation MSS that will include the
deployment of satellites and terrestrial base stations operating in the same
frequencies as an integrated network. In February 2003, the FCC adopted general
rules based on the Company's proposal to develop an integrated
satellite-terrestrial system, subject to the requirement that the Company file
an additional application for a specific terrestrial component consistent with
the broader guidelines issued in the February 2003 ruling. These broad
guidelines govern issues such as aggregate system interference to other MSS
operators, the level of integration between satellite and terrestrial service
offerings, and specific requirements of the satellite component that the Company
currently meets by virtue of its existing satellite system. While the Company's
current satellite assets satisfy these requirements, the Company anticipates the
future need to construct and deploy more powerful satellites.
The Company believes that the ruling allows for significant commercial
opportunity related to the Company's next-generation system. Both proponents and
opponents of the Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC), including the Company,
have asked the FCC to

8. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Regulatory Matters (continued)
reconsider the rules adopted in the February 2003 ruling. Opponents of the
ruling have advocated changes that could adversely impact the Company's business
plans. The Company has also sought certain corrections and relaxations of
technical standards that would further enhance the commercial viability of the
next-generation system. Moreover, one terrestrial wireless carrier has filed an
appeal of the FCC's decision with a United States Court of Appeals, which has
been held in abeyance until the FCC rules on the reconsideration requests. In
November 2003, the Company applied for the authority to operate the ATC in
conjunction with the current and next-generation satellites of MSV and MSV
Canada.
The FCC's International Bureau granted this authorization, in part, in November
2004 and deferred certain issues to the FCC's rulemaking proceeding, which, as
noted above, is in its reconsideration phase. A decision in the rulemaking phase
is expected in 2005. One opponent of the Company's application has asked the FCC
to review the Company's ATC authorization. There can be no assurance that,
following the conclusion of the rulemaking and the other legal challenges, the
Company will have authority to operate a commercially viable next-generation
network.
9. TerreStar Networks
In February 2002, the Company established TerreStar Networks Inc. (TerreStar), a
wholly owned subsidiary, to develop business opportunities related to the
proposed receipt of certain licenses in the 2 GHz band.
Regulatory Matters
TMI holds the approval issued by Industry Canada for a 2 GHz space station
authorization and related spectrum licenses for the provision of MSS in the 2
GHz band as well as an authorization from the FCC for the provision of MSS in
the 2 GHz band (MSS authorization). These authorizations are subject to FCC and
Industry Canada milestones relating to construction, launch, and operational
date of the system. TMI plans to transfer the Canadian authorizations to an
entity that is eligible to hold the Canadian authorizations and in which
TerreStar and/or TMI will have an interest, subject to obtaining the necessary
Canadian regulatory approvals. In order to satisfy the milestone requirements
included within the

9. TerreStar Networks (continued)
Regulatory Matters (continued)
authorizations, TerreStar and TMI entered into an agreement in which TerreStar
agreed to enter into a non-contingent satellite procurement contract for the
construction and delivery to TMI of a satellite that is consistent with the
Canadian and FCC authorizations. Further, TMI agreed that at TerreStar's
election, TMI will transfer the 2 GHz assets to the entities described above,
subject to any necessary Canadian and U.S. regulatory approvals. In December
2002, TMI and TerreStar jointly applied to the FCC for authority to transfer
TMI's MSS authorization to TerreStar.
In August 2002, Industry Canada advised the Company that this arrangement met
the requirement that TMI demonstrate that it is bound to a contractual agreement
for the construction of the proposed satellite. However, certain wireless
carriers had urged the FCC to cancel TMI's MSS authorization. A similar group
also filed a petition in January 2003 asking the FCC to dismiss the application
to transfer TMI's MSS authorization to TerreStar. In February 2003, the FCC
adopted an order canceling TMI's MSS authorization due to an alleged failure to
enter into a noncontingent satellite construction contract before the specified
first milestone date. Also in February 2003, the FCC adopted an order allowing
MSS carriers, including those in the 2 GHz band, to provide an ATC. A number of
parties, principally wireless carriers, have challenged the validity of that
order (see Note 8).
In June 2004, the FCC agreed to waive aspects of the first milestone requirement
applicable to TMI's MSS authorization and, therefore, reinstated that
authorization, along with the application to transfer TMI's MSS authorization to
TerreStar. The FCC also modified the milestone schedule applicable to TMI's MSS
authorization. TMI recently certified to the FCC its compliance with the second
milestone under its MSS authorization. The FCC is currently reviewing that
certification for compliance with the requirements of TMI's MSS authorization.
The application to transfer TMI's MSS authorization to TerreStar is still
pending before the FCC.

9. TerreStar Networks (continued)
Joint Venture Option
During 2002, TerreStar acquired an option to establish a joint venture with a
third party to develop certain opportunities in the 2 GHz band. The FCC licensed
the third party to construct, launch, and operate a communications system
consisting of two geostationary satellites in the 2 GHz band, a communications
network, and user terminals. Consideration for the option consisted of
nonrefundable payments made by TerreStar of $1,000,000 during 2002 and $500,000
during 2003. In January 2003, TerreStar exercised its option to form the joint
venture. Under the terms of the memorandum of agreement (MOA), TerreStar
contributed an additional $500,000 to the joint venture upon signing of the
joint venture agreements. However, as a result of the FCC order canceling TMI's
2 GHz license, TerreStar and the third party mutually agreed to terminate the
option agreement and the joint venture and any remaining obligations or
liabilities related to these agreements in July 2003. As a result, TerreStar
wrote off its $2.0 million investment in the joint venture during the year ended
December 31, 2003.
Satellite Construction Contract
During 2002, TerreStar entered into a contract to purchase a satellite system,
including certain ground infrastructure for use with the 2 GHz band. The Company
continues to make payments according to a milestone payment plan. The Company
made payments of $500,000 and $350,000 during the years ended December 31, 2002
and 2003, respectively. Such payments have been capitalized as system under
construction in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.
Following the reinstatement of the TMI license in July 2004, the contract was
amended resulting in a reduced milestone payment plan. The Company made payments
of $400,000 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2004 related to this
contract. The satellite manufacturer may also be entitled to certain incentive
payments based upon the performance of the satellite once in operation. If the
Company terminates the contract, the manufacturer shall be entitled to payment
of a termination liability as prescribed in the contract. Through 2004, the
termination liability can be satisfied by amounts paid under the contract up to
the point of termination. Beginning in 2005, the termination liability will be
equal to amounts that would have otherwise been due on milestones scheduled
within 30 days following notice of termination by the Company. The satellite
represents one component of a communications system that would include
ground-switching infrastructure, launch costs, and insurance. Total cost of this
system could exceed

$500 million. In order to finance future payments, the Company will be required
to obtain additional debt or equity financing, or may enter into various joint
ventures to share the cost of development. There can be no assurance that such
financing or joint venture opportunities will be available to the Company or
available on terms acceptable to the Company.
10. Subsequent Events
November 2004 Financing
In November 2004, MSV received $145 million in gross proceeds from its existing
investors in exchange for the issuance of 4,923,599 Common Units. Concurrently,
approximately $27 million of notes and accrued interest was exchanged for
914,160 Common Units of MSV. Additionally, $58 million of Convertible Notes were
converted to 8,997,073 Class A Preferred Units in accordance with their terms.
The Non-Convertible Notes with a principal balance of $22.5 million were
exchanged for 765,843 Common Units. Approximately $18.7 million of accrued
interest was paid in cash, while the remaining $4.4 million was exchanged for
152,230 Common Units. As part of the transaction, the Company's limited
partnership agreement was amended to eliminate the distinction between Preferred
and Common Units, and all Preferred Units were converted to Common Units. At the
completion of this transaction, all outstanding principal and interest
obligations on the Convertible and Non-Convertible Notes had been extinguished.
TerreStar Rights Transaction
On December 20, 2004, the Company issued rights (the Rights) to receive an
aggregate of 23,265,428 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the
TerreStar Stock), of TerreStar, representing all of the shares of TerreStar
Stock owned by the Company, to the limited partners of the Company, pro rata in
accordance with each limited partner's percentage ownership in the Company. The
Rights will be exchanged into shares of TerreStar Stock automatically on
February 25, 2005. In addition, in connection with this transaction, TerreStar
issued warrants (the Warrants) to purchase an aggregate of 666,972 shares of
TerreStar Stock to one of the Company's limited partners. The Warrants have an
exercise price of $0.21491 per share and may be exercised until the fifth
anniversary of the date of their issuance.

Recent Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is
a revision of SFAS No. 123, supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, and amends SFAS No.
95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is
similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R)
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair
values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The new standard will
be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2006.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), a
corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents and its
former directors, officers, employees and agents and those who serve, at the
corporation's request, in such capacities with another enterprise, against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, as well as judgments, fines and settlements
in nonderivative lawsuits, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they or any of them were

serving or having served in such capacity. The DGCL provides, however, that such
person must have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and,
in the case of a criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not
permit indemnification in an action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation,
unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly
and reasonably is entitled to inde |
