I cannot believe it-- Loral got Orion for next to nothing! Absolutely unbelievable. LOR got (1) a first class operating GEO, with two on order already paid for by debt issuance early this year (both GEOs are in manufacure now), with (2) over $450 million in cash [so the net is a debt of $320 million now on LOR's balance sheet, to be fully paid down from Orion earnings in three years it looks]-- and a growth rate for Orion of some 80%/year for the
next three years. Plus, it got transponders for Cyberstar-- for next to nothing!, and a world class customer base to which now LOR has access.. Not only that, with Orion now Loral has presence in Europe-- the first time.

Conference call tomorrow morning 8:30 New York time--
