Notes to Combined Financial Statements		9

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of HELIO, Inc. and affiliate (collectively the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related combined statements of operations, stockholders' and partners' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the period January 27, 2005 (inception) through December 31, 2005. 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 combined financial position of HELIO, Inc. and affiliate at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the period January 27, 2005 (inception) through December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred substantial recurring operating losses since inception and management anticipates that it will continue to incur substantial losses from its operating and investing activities, and the Company may not have sufficient working capital and or outside financings available to meet its planned operating activities over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters also are described in Note 1. The 2007 combined financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its accounting for stock-based compensation in connection with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), "Share-Based Payment."

HELIO, INC. and HELIO LLC

COMBINED BALANCE SHEETS

(in thousands, except share/unit data)

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these combined financial statements.

HELIO, INC. and HELIO LLC

COMBINED STATEMENTS OF STOCKHOLDERS' AND PARTNERS' EQUITY

(In thousands, except share/unit data)

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these combined financial statements.

HELIO, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on January 27, 2005 as a joint venture between EarthLink, Inc. ("EarthLink") and SK Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries and/or affiliates ("SKT") (collectively, the "Partners") for the purposes of developing and marketing branded wireless telecommunication services, including but not limited to handsets, voice services, data services, stand-alone and other wireless services within the United States of America. HELIO, Inc. is the sole general managing partner of HELIO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("HELIO LLC" or the "Operating Company"). HELIO LLC is the operating company of HELIO, Inc. and is owned by the Partners' respective ownership interests in HELIO, Inc. The financial statement presentation of the operating results, balance sheets and cash flows of HELIO, Inc. and HELIO LLC (collectively, the "Company") are presented on a combined basis as of and for the period from inception to December 31, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. The Partners owned approximately 100%, 95.5% and 96.3% of the Company at December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007, HELIO, Inc. had 5,561,272 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and 2 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2007, HELIO LLC had 124,401,683 Convertible Preferred Membership Units issued and outstanding, of which 83,492,592 units were held by SKT and 40,909,091 were held by Earthlink. In addition, HELIO, Inc. held 5,561,272 Common Membership Units (collectively, the "Membership Units"). Each of the Membership Units may be exchanged, at the option of the holder, at any time and from time-to-time, for validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of HELIO, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock obtained from such an exchange of Membership Units is determined by multiplying the number of Membership Units to be exchanged by the Unit Exchange Rate then in effect (as more fully described in Note 10). Also see Note 10 for a description of the Company's capitalization and voting rights.

The Company is a non-facilities-based mobile virtual network operator ("MVNO") offering mobile communications services and handsets to U.S. consumers. As a MVNO, the Company does not own licensed frequency spectrum; rather, it leases and resells its wireless services through outside wireless carriers' networks. During the period from inception to December 31, 2005, the Company's primary operations revolved around the sale and servicing of its EarthLink® Wireless member and handset brand operations that were contributed by EarthLink in conjunction with the formation of the Company (Note 2). In April 2006, the Company commenced operations and launched its core services and device sales under its HELIO™ brand.

Since its inception and through December 31, 2007, the Company received funding from its Partners and affiliates in the aggregate amount of $600.0 million, which was comprised of cash and assets with an aggregate value of $470.0 million and convertible promissory notes totaling $130.0 million (of which $70.0 million in principal amount and $0.5 million in accrued interest was converted into preferred membership units in November 2007). From March 2005 through August 2007, and under the terms of the Partners January 2005 original formation agreements, the Partners contributed cash and assets with an aggregate value of $440.0 million (SKT contributed cash of $220.0 million and EarthLink contributed cash of $180.0 million and assets valued at $40.0 million), of which $39.0 million was contributed in the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, the Company has received approximately $8.2 million of funding from outside investors.

In September 2007 and as more fully described in Note 9, the Company issued 10% convertible promissory notes to SKT and EarthLink in the aggregate principal amounts of $30.0 million each (total cash proceeds of $60.0 million). In October and November 2007, the Company issued 10% convertible promissory notes to SKT in the aggregate principal amounts of $30.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively (total cash proceeds of $70.0 million). In November 2007, the Partners amended their January 2005 formation agreements, whereby SKT agreed to contribute up to an additional $270.0 million in funding through December 2009 (the "Amended Joint Venture Agreement"). In November 2007, SKT exchanged convertible promissory notes in the principle amount of $70.0 million plus accrued interest of $0.5 million into 23,492,592 preferred membership units at an exchange rate of $3.00 per unit (the "November 2007 Exchange").

In December 2007 and in accordance with the terms of the Amended Joint Venture Agreement, SKT provided written notice to the Company and EarthLink, whereby SKT committed to contribute $80.0 million of its remaining $270.0 million commitment by June 2008 (the "Trigger Event"). As a result of the Trigger Event, EarthLink forfeited 9,090,909 of its then outstanding preferred membership units (which were immediately cancelled by the Company). Through December 2007, aggregate cash contributions under the Amended Joint Venture Agreement totaled $100.0 million, which included the November 2007 Exchange and additional cash contributions of $30.0 million in December 2007. As of December 31, 2007, SKT and EarthLink owned approximately 65% and 31% of the Company, respectively.

Through December 31, 2007, the Company's primary source of liquidity was funding received from its Partners and outside investors. The Company will need additional capital to meet its operating requirements. Since the Company's inception, cumulative cash flow used from combined operating and investing activities, excluding marketable securities activities, was approximately $523.0 million and cumulative cash funding received from its Partners and outside investors was $568.2 million. At December 31, 2007, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to the Company was approximately $45.1 million and working capital was approximately $3.5 million. To date, the Company has been operating at an operating loss. Over the next twelve months, management anticipates that it will continue to incur substantial losses from its operating and investing activities, and the Company may or may not have sufficient working capital and or outside financings available to meet its planned operating activities over the same period. To address future planned working capital deficiencies in fiscal 2008, management plans on securing sufficient cash financing from its Partners, and/or potential outside investors; however, management cannot be certain as to the likelihood of generating sufficient cash flows to meet planned working capital requirements during this period. These combined factors raise doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The combined financial statements include the accounts of HELIO, Inc. and HELIO LLC, both of which are jointly controlled by the Partners and are under common management. The Partners have the unilateral ability to implement major operating and financial policies for HELIO, Inc. and HELIO LLC. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the combination process. The combined financial statements include certain expenses from SKT and EarthLink pursuant to various related party agreements. As more fully discussed in Note 17, these expenses are considered to be a reasonable reflection of the value of services provided for and/or the benefits received by the Company.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reflected in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are generally used when accounting for certain accrued expenses and deferred revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, inventory return reserves, amortization periods of intangible assets, legal and tax contingencies, fair value of intangible assets, goodwill and investments, stock compensation expense, asset impairment charges and the recording of fair value of assets upon formation of the joint venture.

The Company manages the business as one reportable business segment, wireless communications and data services, which is also a single operating segment. The Company operates primarily in the United States of America.

From time to time, the Company enters into agreements with its Partners and or related affiliates. Management believes these types of related party transactions are consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions. The Company complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 57, Related Party Disclosures. See Note 17 for further detail on the Company's related party transactions.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition ("SAB 104"), and the Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables ("EITF 00-21"). The Company classifies its revenues into two types of revenue streams: (i) service revenues and (ii) equipment sales and other revenue. The Company also considers the criteria for revenue recognition and rights of return as prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting No. 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists ("SFAS 48").

Service revenue generally includes airtime minutes, content (including but not limited to music, video and games downloads), data usage, messaging and other services, net of related member account credits. The Company earns service revenue by providing its members airtime minutes, data, messaging and content downloads on its HELIO™ devices over dedicated wireless networks. All services provided are billed throughout any given month according to the bill cycle in which a particular member is placed. Monthly airtime services are billed at the beginning of each bill cycle and in advance of services based upon minute rate plans selected by members. Monthly airtime minutes that exceed minute rate plans selected by the member and content downloads are billed in the billing cycle following usage. For

members not on unlimited data and messaging service plans, such service items are billed in the billing cycle following usage.

Service revenue also includes separate charges for members who roam outside of their selected coverage area, "411" dialing charges, international calling minutes and, when applicable, activation fees.

Service revenue is recognized in the period of use. As a result of bill cycle cut-off times, the Company is required to make estimates for airtime service revenue earned but not yet billed as of the end of any given month, and for monthly service revenue billed in advance. Estimates for airtime usage are based upon historical minutes, messages, and or megabytes of usage. The Company generally defers any revenue based upon the portion of unused plan minutes that are billed in advance of services provided. Content revenue is recognized when consumed (downloaded).

Equipment revenue generally includes device and accessory sales, net of any related device price subsidies offered to members at the point of sale, and inventory return reserves. Devices and accessories are sold to members through (i) direct sales channels, including but not limited to direct sales to end-members over the Company's website, telesales and through the Company's owned retail locations, and (ii) indirect sales channels, including but not limited to third-party agents and national retail chains for resale to end-members. For direct channels, device and accessory revenue is recognized when an end-member purchases a device, net of any upfront subsidy. In most cases, direct channel device sales occur at the same time a member activates the Company's wireless services. For indirect channels, device and accessory revenues are recognized upon shipment, net of any upfront price subsidy, taking into account individual member rights of returns, historical collections, and member sell-through history as prescribed under SAB 104 and SFAS 48. In the event a third-party agent or national retail chain has the ability to return devices and or has limited history with the Company, a portion of the related device revenue generally is deferred until an end-member activates service. In mid-2007, the Company was able to demonstrate sufficient historical sell-through of devices to end members, device returns, and collections in its third-party agent and national retail channels. As a result, the Company reclassified approximately $6.7 million of previously deferred device revenue into equipment revenue during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company offers a 30-day happiness guarantee to its members, whereby if a member is unsatisfied with their device or service, they can return their device for a full refund within 30 calendar days after purchase. The Company estimates the amount of device returns in any given period and records a reserve for device sales as an offset to equipment revenue.

Other revenue generally includes revenue that is considered non-recurring in nature, including but not limited to revenue from member device protection plans, early termination fees, late payment fees, and when applicable, activation fees. Early termination fees, which are generated when a member breaks a service contract prior to its completion, are recognized on a cash basis as collection is not certain.

The Company determined that the sale of its wireless services along with its devices constitutes a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables under EITF 00-21. The Company accounts for these

arrangements as separate units of accounting, whereby the device and related services can be unbundled from one another and treated as separate units of accounting. Activation fees, which are one-time non-refundable charges to members to activate service, however, do not meet the criteria as set-forth under EITF 00-21 to be treated as a separate unit of accounting and are therefore recognized into revenue under the relative fair value accounting principle, whereby activation fees may be (i) recognized upfront with the device sale (the delivered item) to the extent the aggregate device and activation fee proceeds do not exceed the fair value of the device or (ii) deferred upon activation and recognized evenly over the service term (the undelivered item) to the extent the aggregate device and activation fee proceeds exceed the fair value of the device. For the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, activation fees of $0.1 million, $2.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, were recognized and included in equipment and other revenue in the Company's combined statements of operations.

Cost of services generally includes the Company's costs of its members' airtime, data and content usage. Airtime and data costs are recorded in the period of use. As a result of bill cycle cut-off times, the Company is required to make estimates for airtime and data usage consumed but not yet billed as of the end of any given month. Estimates for airtime usage are based upon historical minutes, messages, and or megabytes of usage. The amounts of these cost of services are based on contractual rates set forth in the Company's carrier agreements. Content costs are largely comprised of costs to outside content providers for usage of specific content on wireless devices and are recognized when incurred.

Cost of equipment sales generally includes the cost of the Company's devices and accessories, excluding device price subsidies (see Equipment and Other Revenue), which are generally recorded upon device and or accessory shipment to an end member, third party agent or national retailer. Other costs included in cost of equipment sales generally include the cost of shipping accessories and devices to outside agents and national retailers and device insurance.

Operations and member service costs are generally comprised of product development expenses, including but not limited to outside research and development on software and products pertaining to the Company's devices and services, information technology costs, supply chain management and member support. Product development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Sales and marketing costs are generally comprised of costs of external sales commissions, co-op advertising, general marketing and media advertising expenses, lease expenses associated with Company owned retail locations, amortization of certain intangible assets and website development expenses (accounted for under the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-2, Website Development Costs).

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to approximately $1.2 million, $21.6 million and $47.5 million during the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Significant production costs incurred in advance of advertising airing are capitalized as a

prepaid asset until the first airing of the underlying advertising occurs. Prepaid advertising costs of $11.2 million and $2.3 million are included in prepaid expenses in the Company's combined balance sheets at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

General and administrative costs are generally comprised of facilities, professional legal and outside accounting fees, costs of personnel recruitment and bad debt expense.

The vast majority of the Company's operating results and losses since its inception through December 31, 2007 are included in the operating results of HELIO LLC, the operating company. HELIO LLC is not a taxable entity for federal or state income tax purposes. Rather, these taxes are included in each Partner's federal and state income tax returns. To the extent that certain states impose income taxes upon non-corporate legal entities, the Company generally records a provision (benefit) for these state income taxes and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted statutory rates. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes, the Company generally provides valuation allowances for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. See Note 13 for further information.

The Company is responsible for billing, collecting and paying various sales and service usage taxes on behalf of its members. The Company accounts for these pass-through tax arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (Gross versus Net Presentation), whereby the Company records a liability for amounts collected and reports such taxes on a net basis in its combined statement of operations for such amounts.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less. Excluded from cash and cash equivalents are restricted cash of $13.5 million and $12.6 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. (See Note 6)

Investments in marketable securities are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The Company has classified all short term investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded as other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses are included in interest income in the combined statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable, Credit Fees and Deposits and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable consists principally of trade accounts receivable from members and are generally unsecured and due within 30 days from the invoice date. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its members to make timely payments. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers multiple factors including the aging of its receivables, historical write-offs and the general economic environment. If the financial condition of the Company's members were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Credit losses relating to these receivables have been within management's expectations. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts in the combined balance sheets. Estimates of expected credit losses are based primarily on write-off experience, net of recoveries, and on the aging of the accounts receivable balances. The collection policies and procedures of the Company vary by credit class and payment history of members. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.5 million and $10.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. For the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, bad debt expense of $0.5 million, $5.3 million and $24.2 million, respectively, was included in general and administrative expenses in the Company's Combined Statements of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company required certain credit challenged members to remit either a fully refundable or a non-refundable deposit at the point of service activation. Beginning in November 2007, the Company required only refundable deposits for all credit challenged members. Such deposits and fees are initially deferred and recorded as a liability upon collection. In the event members subject to deposits or credit fees were to become delinquent and or no longer continue to make payments on amounts when due, the Company offsets these accounts with the related member's deposit or credit fee, as applicable. Non-refundable credit fees are recognized as a reduction of bad debt expense upon a member remaining in good credit standing through their contractual service period, generally 24 months after a member's original in-service date. Fully refundable deposits are refunded back to a member upon the member demonstrating good credit standing with the Company after a certain period of time.

Inventories consist principally of wireless devices and accessories and are valued at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") accounting method. Market value is determined using current replacement cost, however determining market value of inventories involves numerous judgments, including projections of inventory returns and current and forecasted sales volumes and demand. As a result of these analyses and on no less than a quarterly basis, the Company periodically records charges to cost of sales and corresponding inventory obsolescence reserves to state its inventory at fair market value.

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Costs of additions and substantial improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Depreciation expense is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various asset classes, which are generally three years for

hardware and software. Leasehold improvements and other are generally depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the underlying lease.

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-2, Website Development Costs. Capitalized costs include direct development costs associated with internal use software and website development costs, including internal direct labor costs and external costs of materials and services. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment in the combined balance sheets and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred.

Costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software to be used, consumed and or marketed in conjunction with the Company's devices or services are accounted for pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed ("SFAS 86"). Under SFAS 86, these software costs are charged to expense up until the point of technological feasibility. As the vast majority, if not all of these software costs are incurred up to the point of technological feasibility, the Company charges these types of software costs to expense as incurred.

In conjunction with the formation of the Company, EarthLink contributed its then-existing wireless assets valued by the Partners at $40.0 million (the "EarthLink Wireless Assets"). In fiscal 2005 an independent third party performed a valuation analysis of the fair value of the contributed EarthLink Wireless Assets and determined that of the total $40.0 million value, $36.6 million was attributable to intangible assets and the remaining $3.4 million was classified as goodwill. The intangible assets primarily consisted of the implied value of contributed carrier and customer relationships, subscribers, which includes an agreement between EarthLink and the Company to prospectively market the Company's services (the "Marketing Services"), and billing systems transferred over to the Company upon formation. With the exception of the Marketing Services, the Company amortizes its intangibles on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their contractual terms or intended useful lives, generally between three to five years, beginning in March 2005. In September 2007, Earthlink announced that it was restructuring and would no longer be providing funding to the Company, and as a result the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 million pertaining to the net remaining intangible Marketing Services obligations from EarthLink (Note 7). In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized.

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, including but not limited to significant changes in a business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, and or competition.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 02-7, Unit of Accounting for Testing Impairment of Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets, the Company tests its goodwill on an aggregate basis, consistent with the Company's management of its business. The Company uses a fair value approach, incorporating discounted cash flows, to complete the test. During the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Company's tests indicated its goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets were not impaired.

From inception to December 31, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company recognized amortization expense of approximately $5.8 million, $9.9 million and $8.9 million (excluding the $3.1 million impairment charge discussed above), respectively, related to its finite-lived intangible assets.

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144") whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technological or other industry changes. In analyzing potential impairments, the Company uses projections of future cash flows. These projections are based upon the Company's views of forecasted growth rates, anticipated future economic conditions, appropriate discount rates relative to risk and estimates of residual values. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the assets is less than its carrying amount, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and its carrying amount. The asset group represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and or liabilities.

The Company accounts for lease agreements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases, which requires categorization of leases at their inception as either operating or capital leases depending on certain criteria. The Company recognizes rent expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company records leasehold improvements funded by landlords under operating leases as leasehold improvements.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"), which replaced SFAS No. 123, Stock Based Compensation ("SFAS 123") and superseded Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Employee Based Stock Compensation. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for its employee stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25, as allowed under SFAS 123. Under the intrinsic method, no employee stock-based compensation was recognized in the Company's statements of operations prior to January 1, 2006. Under the modified prospective transition method as prescribed under SFAS 123(R) and adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2006, the combined financial statements prior to 2006 were not restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of adopting SFAS 123(R).

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services ("EITF 96-18"). The equity instruments, consisting of warrants to purchase the Company's common stock, are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and, as applicable, the measurement of expense is subject to periodic mark-to-market adjustments in each reporting period.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 gives the Company the irrevocable option to carry most financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company's 2008 fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of SFAS 159 on its financial statements, and does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company's 2008 fiscal year, although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the year of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for the Company's 2007 fiscal year. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. (See Note 13.)

In September 2007, Earthlink announced that it was restructuring and would no longer be providing funding to the Company. At such time and based upon discussions with EarthLink's management, the probability of Earthlink honoring its remaining commitments related to certain future Subscribers was considered low. Accordingly, this circumstance raised substantial doubt as to the recoverability of EarthLink's remaining subscriber commitment and as a result, the Company recorded a related impairment charge of $3.1 million to write-down such remaining subscriber commitment in September 2007. For the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, amortization expense

associated with the Company's contributed and purchased intangible assets was $5.8 million, $9.9 million and $8.9 million (excluding the September 2007 impairment charge of $3.1 million), respectively.

Estimated future amortization related to the Company's identified finite-lived intangible assets at December 31, 2007 is as follows (in thousands):

Accrued expenses of $44.9 million and $54.4 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, were largely comprised of accrued operating and fixed asset purchases, inventory obligations, member sales and use taxes, advertising and marketing expenses, payroll and other payroll-related liabilities and agent commissions.

In July 2007, the Company entered into a Note Purchase and Security Agreement (the "Note Agreement") with its Partners, whereby the Partners committed to issue the Company up to $200.0 million in the form of secured exchangeable promissory notes for the purpose of funding the Company's working capital requirements and product development expenses. In conjunction with the Note Agreement and during the period July to November 2007, the Company issued 10% secured exchangeable promissory notes in the aggregate principal amounts of $130.0 million in favor of EarthLink and SKT (collectively, the "Convertible Promissory Notes"). The Convertible Promissory Notes bear a simple interest rate of 10% per annum, and mature in July 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). Under the provisions of the Note Agreement and the Convertible Promissory Notes agreement, any holder of Convertible Promissory Notes may exchange any such note (or any portion thereof) at any time, through and up to the Maturity Date, into Preferred Membership Units (at a per unit exchange rate as defined by the agreements). In connection with any such exchange, such holder shall also have the right to receive a payment, at the time of exchange, of any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Note Payable (or portion thereof) so exchanged, which payment shall be made, at the election of the Company in cash, membership units, or a combination thereof.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, SKT exchanged Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $70.0 million and $0.5 million of accrued interest into 23,492,592 Preferred Membership Units at an exchange value of $3.00 per unit.

As of December 31, 2007, aggregate Convertible Promissory Notes payable were $62.6 million, of which $30.0 million principal and $1.3 million accrued interest is due to EarthLink and $30.0 million principal and $1.3 million accrued interest is due to SKT. During the period ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded $3.1 million of interest expense associated with the Convertible Promissory Notes.

HELIO, Inc. was formed in January 2005 and was later capitalized in March 2005 through the issuance of one (1) share of Class B Common Stock to each of the Partners. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has the authority to issue 250,000,004 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 230,000,002 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock") and 2 (two) shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class B Common Stock", and together with Class A Common Stock, "Common Stock") and (ii) 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"), issuable in one or more series as defined in the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation").

In January and July 2006, the Company issued 1,000,000 and 3,680,400 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.7 million and $6.3 million, respectively (collectively, the "2006 Company Investments").

In October 2006, the Company issued 650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to SKT in exchange for professional services performed and completed from October 2005 through December 2006 (see Note 17). The 650,000 share issuance was valued at $1.1 million and included in operating expenses in the Company's statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

In June 2007, the Company issued 144,375 shares of Class A Common Stock to SKT in exchange for professional services performed during 2007 (see Note 17). The share issuance was valued at $0.3 million and included in operating expenses in the Company's statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 there was no Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

Except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Common Stock vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. Except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or as required by Delaware law, all shares of Common Stock are identical in all respects and shall entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, and shall be subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. Each holder of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of stock held on all matters submitted to the holders thereof, except for matters reserved exclusively to holders of another class of capital stock. With respect to matters reserved exclusively to holders of Class A Common Stock, holders of Class B Common Stock, who also hold shares of Class A Common Stock, shall be entitled to vote their shares of Class A Common Stock, but shall not be entitled to any increased voting multiple as may apply in other cases as more fully described below.

Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to an aggregate number of votes for all shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except as provided above, equal to the difference between (i) ten multiplied by the aggregate number of:

and (ii) the shares of Class A Common Stock held by such holders of Class B Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the initial number of directors serving on the HELIO, Inc. board of directors shall consist of the number of Class B Directors as the majority of Class B Directors may determine from time to time; provided that for so long as (i) SKT owns any shares of Class B Common Stock, it may elect Class B Directors as it chooses, (ii) any other holder of Class B Common Stock that owns at least twenty percent (20%) of the then total outstanding shares (assuming conversion of all Class B Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Membership Units into Class A Common Stock, "Total Outstanding Shares"), two Class B Directors will be elected by such holder, and (iii) any other holder of Class B Common Stock that owns at least ten percent (10%), but less than twenty percent (20%) of the-then Total Outstanding Shares, one Class B Director will be elected by such holder. If there is no Class B Common Stock and Preferred Stock, if any, voting together as a single class. For so long as there are any shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, upon a Public Offering, the holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to elect up to three (3) independent Class A Directors as provided hereinafter. If the percentage of Class A Common Stock held by holders, in the aggregate, other than a holder of Class B Common Stock (or its Affiliates) is (a) greater than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the Total Outstanding Shares, but less than or equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Total Outstanding Shares, then the size of the Board shall be increased to include one (1) Class A Director; (b) greater than twenty percent (20%) of the Total Outstanding Shares, but less than or equal to thirty-three percent (33%) of the Total Outstanding Shares, then the size of the Board shall be increased to include two (2) Class A Directors; and (c) greater than thirty-three percent (33%) of the Total Outstanding Shares, then the size of the Board shall be increased to include three (3) Class A Directors.

Each holder of Class A Common Stock other than SKT, has entered into an irrevocable proxy with each of the Partners, entitling each of the Partners to vote such holders' shares in any vote involving the holders of Class A Common Stock. In addition, with respect to the issuance of 650,000 shares of HELIO, Inc. Class A Common Stock to SKT, SKT entered into an irrevocable proxy with EarthLink to vote their respective share of the SKT's 650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock so issued in any vote involving the holders of Class A Common Stock. In November 2007 and in conjunction with the Certificate of Incorporation, EarthLink entered into a voting agreement with SKT that allows SKT to vote that number of Earthlink proxy shares in proportion to each of the Partners respective holdings in the Company. The irrevocable proxies terminate upon mutual agreement, the Company's initial public offering or a change of control of the Company.

HELIO LLC (the "Operating Company") was formed in January 2005 and was later capitalized in March 2005 through the issuance of (i) 100,000,000 Membership Units to the Partners (50,000,000 to each Partner) in exchange for a commitment to contribute capital equally, in the aggregate amount of $440.0 million ($220.0 million by each partner) (the "Initial Partners' Investment") and (ii) 2 Membership Units to HELIO, Inc., as described below. The purpose of the Operating Company is to operate the Company's business, to make additional investments and engage in such activities as the Company may approve and engage in any and all activities and exercise any power permitted to limited liability companies under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is the sole managing partner of the Operating Company. The Operating Company was established as a partnership for federal and state income tax treatment.

In November 2007, the Partners entered into the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, whereby SKT agreed to convert certain secured promissory notes (see Note 9) in the aggregate of $70.0 million plus $0.5 million of accrued interest in exchange for 23,492,592 Preferred Membership Units at price of $3.00 per unit (the "SKT Required Contribution"); and, SKT may also contribute up to an additional $200.0 million prior to December 31, 2009 (the "SKT Contribution Right"). The SKT Contribution Right is subject to certain terms, including but not limited to (i) the cancellation of certain Preferred Membership Units held by EarthLink, whereby the payment of the SKT Required Contribution and a written commitment made by SKT to the Operating Company and EarthLink on or before December 31, 2007 to contribute an additional $80.0 million (of the $200.0 million SKT Contribution Right) by June 30, 2008 will result in the cancellation of 9,090,909 Preferred Membership Units outstanding and issued to EarthLink (the "Trigger Event"), and (ii) the Operating Company may not issue Preferred Membership Units at a price per share less than $3.00 per unit, unless SKT and EarthLink agree in writing, or an independent valuation of the Operating Company determines the fair value of the Preferred Membership Units is less than $3.00 per unit (as defined), or an unaffiliated third party, together with SKT, invests 50% or more of the aggregate SKT contribution. In December 2007, SKT contributed an additional $30.0 million in cash in exchange for 10,000,000 Preferred Membership Units at $3.00 per unit, and provided written notice to the Company and EarthLink, effectuating the Trigger Event. As a result of the Trigger Event, EarthLink cancelled and forfeited 9,090,909 of its Preferred Membership Units (book value of $40.0 million).

As of December 31, 2007, the following Membership Units were issued and outstanding by the Operating Company (in thousands, except for Membership Units):

During the period ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, HELIO, Inc. reinvested approximately $9.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, into the Operating Company for an additional 5,337,900 and 223,372, respectively, of Convertible Common Membership Units, of which approximately $1.4 million or 794,375 convertible common units issuance pertained to certain non-cash services by SKT exchanged for stock by Helio, Inc. (see Note 17).

Upon any equity investment made into the Company, such equity investment is immediately reinvested into the Operating Company. The 2006 Company investments were immediately reinvested into the Operating Company and as such, an additional 4,680,400 shares of Convertible Common Membership Units were issued by the Operating Company for an aggregate amount of $8.0 million. $0.1 million was invested in the Company during 2007, which was immediately reinvested into the Operating Company and as such, an additional 78,997 shares of Convertible Common Membership

Units were issued. These investments, when combined, increased the Company's effective ownership of the Operating Company to approximately 4.3% at December 31, 2007.

Through December 31, 2007, cumulative funding and promissory notes received by the Partners totaled $600.0 million, which was comprised of (i) $440.0 million from the Partner's Initial Investment of (comprised of $400.0 million in cash and $40.0 million in contributed assets), (ii) $130.0 million in the form of secured promissory notes (including the conversion of $70.0 million in secured promissory notes and accrued interest of $0.5 million as a result of the SKT Required Contribution), and (iii) $30.0 million from the SKT Contribution Right.

All Membership Units are identical in all respects and entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, and shall be subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, except as provided in the Operating Company's Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement. Each Membership Units is entitled to one vote on all matters to be voted on by the holders of Membership Units ("Members"). Holders of Convertible Preferred Membership Units are entitled to certain preferential rights, including but not limited to, preferences with respect to tax allocations, distributions, and certain other preferences.

A holder of Membership Units may, at the option of the holder, exchange, at any time and from time-to-time, any or all of its Membership Units for validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock obtained from such an exchange of Membership Units shall be determined by multiplying the number of Membership Units to be exchanged by the Unit Exchange Rate then in effect. The Unit Exchange Rate shall initially be set at one (1). In the event there is a stock split, dividend, combination or similar transactions related to Class A Common Stock in which there is not an identical dividend, distribution, combination or stock split or similar transaction related to the Membership Units, the Unit Exchange Rate in effect immediately after such an event shall equal the Unit Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to such a transaction multiplied by (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after such an event, and divided by (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such an event. At December 31, 2007, the Unit Exchange Rate then in effect was one for one.

A holder of Class B Common stock is entitled to convert, at any time and from time-to-time, any or all of shares of Class B Common Stock into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock obtained from the conversion of Class B Common Stock shall be determined by multiplying the number of Class B Common Stock to be exchanged by the Class B Conversion Rate then in effect. The Class B Conversion Rate shall initially be set at one for one. In the event there is a stock split, dividend, combination or similar transactions related to Class A Common Stock, the holders of Class B Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such an event shall equal the Class B Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such a transaction multiplied by (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after such an event, and divided by (ii) the number of shares

of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such an event. At December 31, 2007, the Class B Conversion Rate then in effect was one for one.

Certain events trigger an automatic conversion of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, such as if a holder of Class B Common Stock, together with its subsidiaries, ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least ten percent (10%) of the total outstanding shares (as defined) and, after written notice from the other holder(s) of Class B Common Stock fails to acquire sufficient additional Class A Common Stock, Membership Units or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to restore such holder's percentage ownership of the Total Outstanding Shares to at least ten percent (10%). Upon such an event, the following automatically occurs:

In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, any assets remaining subsequent to payments or provision of any debts and other liabilities then outstanding and after making provision for the holders of each series of Preferred Stock, if any, and according to the terms of the Preferred Stock, shall be divided among and paid ratably to the holders of the shares of Common Stock or on an as-converted basis.

Upon completion of a public offering of shares of the Company's Common Stock, the Company will receive a number of Membership Units determined by the Unit Exchange Rate then effect based upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold in such a public offering.

In February 2006, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated Helio, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan, which is an amendment and restatement of the November 2005 Helio, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The terms of the Plan provide for grants of non-qualified stock options ("NSOs") and other stock-related awards and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property. Employees, officers, directors, outside consultants and service providers are eligible for awards under the Plan. NSOs shall have a term of no more than 10 years from the date of grant and an exercise price of no less than the estimated fair market value per share on the date of grant. Options granted to an individual who, at the time of grant of such option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, shall have an exercise price equal to no less than 110% of the fair market per share on the date of grant. The vesting period for NSOs is generally four years from the date of grant, however, certain employees were issued stock options subject to the Company achieving future, specific member and Company financial performance

milestones (the "Performance Options"). The Plan is administered by the Company's board of directors. As of December 31, 2005, there was an aggregate of 10,205,000 shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. In April 2006, the board of directors and stockholders of the Company approved a 4,000,000 share increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of December 31, 2007, an aggregate 14,205,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the Plan.

The Company's combined financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 reflect the impact of FAS 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 includes:

No income tax benefit has been recognized relating to stock-based compensation expense and no tax benefits have been realized from exercised stock options for the periods ended December 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005. The implementation of FAS 123(R) did not have an impact on cash flows from financing activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 or 2006.

The Company estimated the fair value of employee time-based stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of these time-based employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Period inception to December 31, 2005		Year ended December 31, 2006		Year ended December 31, 2007
Expected volatility	70	%	70	%	70	%
Risk-free interest rate	4 to 5	%	4 to 5	%	3 to 5	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%	0.0	%	0.0	%
Expected term (in years)	5.0		6.25		6.25

In 2006 and 2007, the Company's expected term of stock options was based upon the "shortcut method" as prescribed under SAB 107 (an expected term based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term) as the Company did not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior of its employees. The use of the shortcut method is permitted through December 31, 2007. The Company plans to convert to company-specific experience on January 1, 2008. The expected stock price volatility for the Company's stock options was determined by independent valuation experts by examining and using an average of the historical volatilities of similar companies and industry peers as the Company did not have any trading history for the Company's common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term

assumptions as more historical data for the Company's common stock becomes available. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company's stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation of dividend payouts. In addition, FAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience and future expectations. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

During the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Company granted certain employee Performance Options of 2,725,000, 75,000 and 549,500, respectively. During 2005, 2006 and 2007, 0, 100,000 and 357,000, respectively of the Performance Options were forfeited. As prescribed under FAS 123(R), the Company accounts for its Performance Options based upon the probability of achieving the specific Performance Options milestones. For the periods ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the certainty of achieving the Performance Options milestones, which was performed by an independent financial valuation expert, was deemed less than probable (probable being defined as the likelihood of achieving such Performance Options milestones under FAS 123(R)), and accordingly there was no related compensation expense recorded for these Performance Options during these periods. The Company will continue to evaluate the probability of achieving these Performance Options milestones and as a result, additional stock compensation expense pertaining to these Performance Options may be recorded in future periods.

The table below reflects the pro forma net loss (and net loss per share) for the period inception to December 31, 2005 (in thousands):

		Inception (January 27, 2005) to December 31, 2005
Net loss, as reported		$	(42,023	)
	Add: stock-based compensation included in net loss under the intrinsic method		43
	Less: stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards		(891	)

Net loss, pro forma		$	(42,871	)

The weighted average deemed fair value of employee time-vested stock options outstanding was $1.15, $1.16 and $0.96 per share for the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007, respectively. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the same weighted average assumptions in the above table accordance with the requirements of FAS 123(R) and SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment.

The Company provides each employee who was granted stock options (an "Optionee") a put option (the "Put"), whereby the Optionee has the right to sell any vested options and vested shares of stock issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options (the "Vested Shares") to the Company at any

time after March 31, 2010 (the "Put Initiation Date"), provided the following conditions are met (collectively, the "Triggering Events"):

If an Optionee so desired to exercise their Put up to the Put Initiation Date and all of the Triggering Events were met, the purchase price of the Vested Shares shall be based on a valuation of the Company as calculated by a third party appraisal firm designated by the Company's board of directors.

As of December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the likelihood of the Triggering Events occurring within the Put Initiation Date were not certain and accordingly, the Vested Shares under the Put are included in the equity section of the Company's balance sheets for these periods. However, as facts and circumstances change and it is deemed that the likelihood of the Triggering Events occurring within a reasonable period is deemed probable, as defined under FAS 123(R), the Company would be required to reclassify such Vested Shares from equity to a liability at such time (on a grant-by-grant basis).

The following table summarizes information about stock option activity from January 27, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2007 (in thousands, except price per share and remaining contractual life):

The following table summarizes the Company's non-vested stock option activity from the period inception to December 31, 2007 (in thousands, except price per share and remaining contractual life):

		Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share

	Vested	(2,355	)	1.72
	Forfeited	(3,766	)	1.73

Non-vested at December 31, 2007		7,789		1.76

As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $3.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.

In November 2005 and in conjunction with certain services to be provided to the Company over a four year period beginning in November 2005 (the "SKTI Service Agreement"), the Company issued ten-year warrants to SK Telecom International, Inc. ("SKTI"), a related party and affiliate of SK Telecom Co., Ltd., to purchase (i) an aggregate 1,995,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "November 2005 Warrant") at an exercise price of $1.71 per share and (ii) an aggregate 1,800,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Performance Warrant") at an exercise price of $1.71 per share.

Under the Membership Agreement, profits generated by HELIO LLC are generally allocated first to the holders of Preferred Membership Units to the extent of prior losses, and second to the holders of Convertible Common Membership units to the extent of prior losses. As a result of the Membership Agreement, HELIO, Inc. was allocated losses from HELIO LLC up to its investment in HELIO LLC. For the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Company was allocated approximately $0.0 million, $9.1 million and $0.4 million of the income tax losses generated by HELIO LLC, respectively.
