These excerpts taken from the SIRI 10-Q filed May 11, 2009.

Basis of Presentation

In presenting unaudited consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Additionally, estimates were used when recording the fair values of our assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009, and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, have been made.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2009.

Basis of Presentation

In presenting our condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) our interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All intercompany balances and transactions between us, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.”

Our accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets, have been “pushed down” to the applicable subsidiaries.

This excerpt taken from the SIRI 8-K filed Dec 30, 2008.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

On July 28, 2008, Vernon Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sirius, merged with and into XM Holdings. As a result, XM Holdings became our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 19, 2007, entered into by Sirius, XM Holdings and Vernon Merger Corporation.

The actual results of operations for XM have been included in our actual consolidated results of operations for the period August 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008. Although the effective date of the Merger was July 28, 2008, due to the immateriality of the actual results of operations for the period July 28, 2008 through July 31, 2008, we have accounted for the Merger as if it had occurred on July 31, 2008, with the actual results of XM included as of July 31, 2008.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007 present the pro forma consolidated statements of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of Sirius and XM, after giving effect to the Merger and Refinancing Transactions, and are intended to reflect the impact of the Merger on us.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not give effect to any cost savings, revenue synergies or restructuring costs which may result from the integration of our and XM’s operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations reflect the Merger and the Refinancing Transactions as if they were completed on January 1, 2007 and include pro forma adjustments based upon preliminary valuations.

The Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The application of purchase accounting under SFAS No. 141 resulted in the transaction being valued at $5,836,363, based upon the average closing price of $3.79 of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market for the two days prior to, including, and two days subsequent to the public announcement of the Merger on February 19, 2007.

On that basis, the table below shows the value of the consideration paid in connection with the Merger:

 

     Total

Fair value of common stock issued to XM Holdings stockholders

   $ 5,460,853

Fair value of preferred stock issued to XM Holdings stockholders

     47,095

Fair value of converted stock options

     94,616

Fair value of restricted stock issued to XM Holdings restricted stockholders

     66,628

Fair value of converted warrants

     115,784

Acquisition costs

     51,387
      

Total

   $ 5,836,363
      

SFAS No. 141 requires that the total purchase price be allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date, with any excess recorded as goodwill. We have preliminarily allocated the purchase price based on current estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Merger.

The table below summarizes the preliminary estimates of fair value of the XM assets acquired, liabilities assumed and related deferred income taxes as of the acquisition date. These preliminary estimates will be revised in future periods and the revisions may materially affect the presentation of our consolidated financial results. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill. You should not place undue reliance on the preliminary analysis of XM’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities set forth below.

Acquired assets:

     2,250,000

Amortizable intangible assets

     453,444

Goodwill

     6,626,504

     329,948
      

Total assets

   $ 11,643,363
      

Assumed liabilities:

  

Current liabilities

     776,448

Total debt

     2,576,512

Deferred income taxes

     849,148

Other non-current liabilities and deferred credit on executory contracts

     1,604,892
      

Total liabilities

   $ 5,807,000
      

Total consideration

   $ 5,836,363
      

In connection with the Merger, we recorded a preliminary estimate of goodwill in the amount of $6,626,504. The price of Sirius common stock declined significantly from February 19, 2007, the measurement date for valuation of the Merger, indicating a potential impairment. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, our impairment analysis indicated that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,750,859. To the extent there are significant changes in the recorded amount of goodwill as a result of the final allocations of fair value to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, there may be significant adjustments to this estimate of impairment loss. Additionally, a continued decline in our stock price may result in further goodwill impairment.

In connection with the Merger, $2,250,000 of the purchase price was allocated to certain indefinite lived intangible assets of XM, including $2,000,000 associated with XM’s FCC license and $250,000 associated with trade names.

In connection with the Merger, $378,444 of the purchase price was allocated to certain intangible assets of XM which are subject to amortization on a straight line basis. Acquired definite lived intangible assets include $360,000 associated with subscriber relationships (9-year useful life), $16,444 associated with proprietary software (6-year weighted average useful life), and $2,000 associated with developed technology (10-year useful life).
