Accrued expense primarily represents the current portion of payments to third parties for work performed on our direct access facilities. Accrued expense also includes amounts due for milestone payments due on the procurement and construction of our WorldView-3 satellite. Other accruals consist of third party commission expense, accounting fees and the current portion of deferred lease incentives. Other long-term liabilities consist of future payments related to the construction of one of our DAFs. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">During the first quarter of 2011, we entered into an agreement to accelerate the on-orbit incentive payments and have paid the agreed upon amount in full as of March 31, 2011. The early payment resulted in a one-time gain of $0.1 million, which is reflected in other income (expense) in the Statement of Operations. </div> <div align="right" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-left: 0in; "> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged NotefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringAccrued Liabilities - Description and amounts of accounts payable and accrued at the end of the reporting period.No authoritative reference available.falsefalseOther Accrued Liabilities and Other Long-Term Liabilities12Other Accrued Liabilities and Other Long-Term LiabilitiesUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownfalsetrue
