Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities decreased $35,442 to $216,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $252,434 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Such decrease in the net outflows of cash was primarily attributable to an improvement in our operating results.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash provided in investing activities was $766,516 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared with net cash used in investing activities of $31,153 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The $797,669 increase was primarily due to the inclusion of $819,521 million in net cash acquired from XM in the Merger. Additionally, capital expenditures increased by $35,904 as a result of costs associated with our satellite construction and launch vehicle and the increase in Merger related costs of $13,047 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

We will incur significant capital expenditures to construct and launch our new satellites and to improve our terrestrial repeater network and broadcast and administrative infrastructure. These capital expenditures will support our growth and the resiliency of our operations, and will also support the delivery of future new revenue streams.
