DIRECTV HOLDINGS LLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

DIRECTV Holdings LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The DIRECTV Group, Inc. and consists of DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and DIRECTV Financing Co., Inc. We sometimes refer to DIRECTV Holdings LLC as DIRECTV Holdings, DIRECTV, we or us and sometimes refer to The DIRECTV Group, Inc. as The DIRECTV Group or Parent.

On February 27, 2008, Liberty Media Corporation, or Liberty Media, and News Corporation completed a transaction in which Liberty Media acquired News Corporation's approximately 41% interest in our Parent. Currently, Liberty Media owns approximately 56% of our Parent's outstanding common stock, however Liberty Media has agreed generally to limit its voting rights to approximately 47.9%.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2009, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on May 8, 2009 and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report.

On May 3, 2009, The DIRECTV Group, Liberty Media, Liberty Entertainment, Inc., or LEI and certain subsidiaries of The DIRECTV Group entered into an agreement and plan of merger, which we refer to as the "merger agreement", which, if consummated, will result in the creation of a new public holding company named "DIRECTV" which we refer to as "Holdings", that will own The DIRECTV Group and LEI. Holdings will be owned by the holders of The DIRECTV Group common stock and the holders of LEI common stock immediately prior to the mergers contemplated by the merger agreement.

As a necessary step to the mergers contemplated by the merger agreement, Liberty Media is planning to execute a split-off transaction that would result in the redemption of 90% of the outstanding shares of both series of its Liberty Entertainment common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of two series of common stock of LEI. LEI will hold Liberty Media's entire interest in The DIRECTV Group (currently approximately 56%), 100% of Liberty Sports Holdings LLC, 65% of Game Show Network, LLC and approximately $30 million in cash and cash equivalents, together with approximately $2 billion of indebtedness and a related equity collar. The split-off transaction is conditioned on the approval of the holders of Liberty's Liberty Entertainment common stock.

The merger agreement provides for two mergers that would result in The DIRECTV Group and LEI becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdings. In the DIRECTV merger, The DIRECTV Group common stockholders (other than direct or indirect subsidiaries of LEI) will receive one share of Holdings Class A common stock for each share of common stock of The DIRECTV Group that they own. In the LEI merger, holders of outstanding shares of LEI Series A common stock and LEI

Series B common stock (other than LEI or Holdings) will receive a number of shares of Holdings Class A common stock equal to the LEI exchange ratio for each share of LEI common stock that they own. The LEI exchange ratio is a fixed exchange ratio equal to 1.11111 shares of Holdings common stock for each share of LEI common stock, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the merger agreement.

After completion of the split-off, John C. Malone (the Chairman of The DIRECTV Group and Liberty Media), his wife and certain trusts for the benefit of their children, collectively the "Malones", will own approximately 92% of the LEI Series B common stock. Immediately prior to the mergers, the Malones, pursuant to a voting and right of first refusal agreement, will exchange each of their shares of LEI Series B common stock for a number of shares of Holdings Class B common stock equal to the number of shares of LEI Series B common stock multiplied by the LEI exchange ratio. Holdings Class B common stock will have fifteen votes per share and certain limited consent rights and will not be publicly traded, and Holdings Class A common stock will have one vote per share and is expected to be listed on the NASDAQ National Market System. Upon completion of the mergers, the Malones will be the only holders of Holdings Class B common stock.

Holders of certain equity awards of LEI, including stock options and stock appreciation rights, or SARs, will receive equity awards of Class A common stock of Holdings based on the LEI exchange ratio.

For additional information regarding the proposed merger transactions, refer to Amendment No. 1 to Holdings' Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on July 30, 2009, which has not been declared effective.

On January 1, 2009 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 160 "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment to ARB No. 51," which established standards of accounting and reporting of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, also known as minority interests, in consolidated financial statements, provides guidance on accounting for changes in the parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary and establishes standards of accounting for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary due to the loss of control. SFAS No. 160 requires an entity to present certain noncontrolling interests as a component of equity and to present net income and consolidated comprehensive income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest separately in the consolidated financial statements. Our adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2009 we adopted SFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity to record 100% of all assets and liabilities acquired, including goodwill and any non-controlling interest, generally at their fair values for all business combinations, whether partial, full or step acquisitions. Under SFAS No. 141R certain contingent assets and liabilities, as well as contingent consideration, are also required to be recognized at fair value on the date of acquisition and acquisition related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed. Additionally, SFAS No. 141R requires disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the business combination and also changes the accounting for certain income tax assets recorded in purchase accounting. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R as required, on January 1, 2009, changed the way we account for adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances recorded in purchase accounting for prior business combinations so that adjustments to these deferred tax asset valuation allowances will no longer be recorded to goodwill but

rather adjustments will be recorded in "Income tax expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for all business combinations we consummate after January 1, 2009.

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were as follows:

The following table sets forth the amounts recorded for intangible assets as of the periods presented:

		Estimated Useful Lives (years)	June 30, 2009						December 31, 2008

The following table sets forth amortization expense for intangible assets for each of the periods presented:

Estimated amortization expense for intangible assets in each of the next five years and thereafter is as follows: $113 million for the remainder of 2009, $90 million in 2010, $34 million in 2011, $10 million in 2012, $10 million in 2013 and $6 million thereafter.

The senior secured credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.

All of the senior notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are unsecured and have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our subsidiaries. Principal on the senior notes is payable upon maturity, while interest is payable semi-annually.

The fair value of our 8.375% senior notes was approximately $915 million at June 30, 2009 and approximately $904 million at December 31, 2008. The fair value of our 6.375% senior notes was approximately $924 million at June 30, 2009 and approximately $911 million at December 31, 2008. The fair value of our 7.625% senior notes was approximately $1,466 million at June 30, 2009 and approximately $1,451 million at December 31, 2008. We calculated the fair values based on quoted market prices of our senior notes, which is a Level 1 input under SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" or SFAS No. 157, on those dates.

Our notes payable and senior secured credit facility mature as follows: $61 million in the remainder of 2009, $308 million in 2010, $108 million in 2011, $20 million in 2012, $2,796 million in 2013 and $2,500 million thereafter. These amounts do not reflect potential prepayments that may be required under our senior secured credit facility, which could result from a computation that we are required to make at each year end under the credit agreement. We were not required to make a prepayment for the year ended December 31, 2008. The amount of interest accrued related to our outstanding debt was $44 million at June 30, 2009 and $45 million at December 31, 2008.

certain debt, in each case subject to exceptions as provided in the credit agreement and senior notes indentures. Should we fail to comply with these covenants, all or a portion of its borrowings under the senior notes and senior secured credit facility could become immediately payable and its revolving credit facility could be terminated. At June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all such covenants. The senior notes and senior secured credit facility also provide that the borrowings may be required to be prepaid if certain change-in-control events occur.

At June 30, 2009, our minimum payments under agreements to purchase broadcast programming, and the purchase of services that we have outsourced to third parties, such as billing services, and satellite telemetry, tracking and control, satellite construction and launch contracts and broadcast center services aggregated $8,999 million, payable as follows: $901 million in the remainder of 2009, $1,593 million in 2010, $1,613 million in 2011, $1,746 million in 2012, $1,403 million in 2013 and $1,743 million thereafter.

Litigation is subject to uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Various legal actions, claims and proceedings are pending against us arising in the ordinary course of business. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or treble damage claims, or demands that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be estimated at June 30, 2009. After discussion with counsel representing us in those actions, it is the opinion of management that such litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Finisar Corporation. As previously reported, we filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on October 5, 2006 from a jury determination that The DIRECTV Group, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries willfully infringed a patent owned by Finisar Corporation and awards of approximately $117 million in damages and pre-judgment interest. DIRECTV was also ordered to pay into escrow $1.60 per new set-top receiver manufactured for use with the DIRECTV system beginning June 17, 2006 and continuing until the patent expires in 2012 or was otherwise found to be invalid. On April 18, 2008, the Court of Appeals vacated (set aside) the verdict of infringement, and sent the case back to the district court for further proceedings and possible retrial on a limited number of claims. On remand, we sought and obtained summary judgment on invalidity of all remaining claims, and the case against DIRECTV was dismissed on May 19, 2009. Finisar has filed a Notice of Appeal, and a briefing schedule for the new appeal has been set.

We may purchase in-orbit and launch insurance to mitigate the potential financial impact of satellite launch and in-orbit failures if the premium costs are considered economic relative to the risk of satellite failure. The insurance generally covers the unamortized book value of covered satellites. We do not insure against lost revenues in the event of a total or partial loss of the capacity of a satellite.

We generally rely on in-orbit spare satellites and excess transponder capacity at key orbital slots to mitigate the impact a satellite failure could have on our ability to provide service. At June 30, 2009, the net book value of in-orbit satellites was $1,601 million, all of which was uninsured.

We have evaluated subsequent events through issuance of these financial statements on August 6, 2009.

As discussed in more detail above in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in May 2009, The DIRECTV Group, Liberty Media, LEI and certain subsidiaries of The DIRECTV Group entered into an agreement and plan of merger, as amended in July 2009. In addition, in the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into transactions with related parties as discussed below.

We determine our income taxes based upon our tax sharing agreement with The DIRECTV Group, which generally provides that the current income tax liability or receivable be computed as if we were a separate taxpayer. Payments made to our Parent under this tax sharing arrangement were $101 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $395 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We also receive an allocation of employee benefit expenses from The DIRECTV Group. We believe that our consolidated financial statements reflect our cost of doing business in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 55, "Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosures in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity."

We paid cash dividends to our Parent in the amounts of $1,000 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $2,600 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

As a result of Liberty Media's acquisition of an ownership interest in The DIRECTV Group, beginning February 27, 2008, transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates, including its equity method investees may be considered to be related party transactions as Liberty Media currently owns approximately 56% of our Parent's outstanding common stock. Our transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates consist primarily of the purchase of programming.

In addition, John Malone, Chairman of the Board of Directors of our Parent and of Liberty Media, has an approximate 31.3% voting interest in Discovery Communications Inc., or Discovery Communications, and an approximate 38.8% voting interest in Liberty Global Inc., or Liberty Global, and serves as Chairman of Liberty Global, and certain of Liberty Media's management and directors also serve as directors of Discovery Communications or Liberty Global. As a result of this common ownership and management, transactions with Discovery Communications and Liberty Global, and their subsidiaries or equity method investees may be considered to be related party transactions. Our transactions with Discovery Communications and Liberty Global consist primarily of purchases of programming created, owned or distributed by Discovery Communications and its subsidiaries and investees.

News Corporation and its affiliates were considered related parties until February 27, 2008, when News Corporation transferred its 41% interest in our Parent's common stock to Liberty Media. Accordingly, the following contractual arrangements with News Corporation and its affiliates were considered related party transactions and reported through February 27, 2008: purchase of programming, products and advertising; license of certain intellectual property, including patents; purchase of system access products, set-top receiver software and support services; sale of advertising space; purchase of employee services; and use of facilities.

The majority of payments under contractual arrangements with Liberty Media, Discovery Communications, Liberty Global and News Corporation entities relate to multi-year programming contracts. Payments under these contracts are typically subject to annual rate increases and are based on the number of subscribers receiving the related programming.

Companies in which we hold equity method investments are also considered related parties.

180 Connect. On July 8, 2008, we acquired 100% of 180 Connect Inc.'s outstanding common stock and exchangeable shares. Simultaneously, in a separate transaction, UniTek USA, LLC acquired 100% of 180 Connect's cable service operating unit and operations in certain of our installation services markets in exchange for satellite installation operations in certain markets and $7 million in cash. These transactions provide us with control over a significant portion of DIRECTV U.S.' home service provider network. We paid $91 million in cash, net of the $7 million we received from UniTek USA, for the acquisition, including the equity purchase price, repayment of assumed debt and related transaction costs.

We accounted for the 180 Connect acquisition using the purchase method of accounting, and began consolidating the results from the date of acquisition. The June 30, 2009 consolidated financial statements reflect the preliminary allocation of the $91 million net purchase price to assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition using information currently available. The assets acquired included approximately $5 million in cash. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets has been recorded as goodwill. We are currently determining how much of the recorded goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the 180 Connect net assets acquired on July 8, 2008 (dollars in millions):

The following selected unaudited pro forma information is being provided to present a summary of the combined results of us and 180 Connect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period, giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments. The pro forma data is presented for informational purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the results of our operations had 180 Connect operated as part of us for the period presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results of future operations. The pro forma information excludes the effect of non-recurring charges.

The following presents the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 of DIRECTV Holdings together with DIRECTV Financing Co., Inc., or the Co-Issuers, and each of DIRECTV Holdings' material subsidiaries (other than DIRECTV Financing), or the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the eliminations necessary to present DIRECTV Holdings' financial statements on a consolidated basis. These condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of DIRECTV Holdings.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2009, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on May 8, 2009 and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of statements that include phrases such as we "believe," "estimate," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "foresee," "project" or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals also are forward-looking statements. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results or from those expressed or implied by the relevant forward- looking statement. We discuss these risks and uncertainties in detail in Part I, Item 1A of our 2008 Form 10-K.

We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of The DIRECTV Group and our subsidiaries include DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and DIRECTV Financing Co., Inc. We acquire, promote, sell and distribute digital entertainment programming via satellite to residential and commercial subscribers. We are the largest provider of direct-to-home, or DTH, digital television services and the second largest provider in the multi-channel video programming distribution industry in the United States. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately 18.3 million subscribers.

We currently broadcast from a fleet of eleven geosynchronous satellites, including ten owned satellites and one leased satellite. DIRECTV 12 is under construction and is expected to be ready for launch in the second half of 2009.

On May 3, 2009, The DIRECTV Group, Liberty Media Corporation, or Liberty Media, Liberty Entertainment, Inc., or LEI and certain subsidiaries of The DIRECTV Group entered into an agreement and plan of merger, which we refer to as the "merger agreement", which, if consummated, will result in the creation of a new public holding company named "DIRECTV" which we refer to as "Holdings", that will own The DIRECTV Group and LEI. Holdings will be owned by the holders of The DIRECTV Group common stock and the holders of LEI common stock immediately prior to the mergers contemplated by the merger agreement.

For additional information regarding the proposed merger transactions, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements above and refer to Amendment No. 1 to Holdings' Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on July 30, 2009, which has not been declared effective.

The following table sets forth the amount of set-top receivers we capitalized, and depreciation expense we recorded under the lease program implemented in March 2006 for each of the periods presented:

The following key terminology is used in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations:

Revenues. We earn revenues mostly from monthly fees we charge subscribers for subscriptions to basic and premium channel programming, HD programming and access fees, pay-per-view programming, and seasonal and live sporting events. We also earn revenues from monthly fees that we charge subscribers with multiple non-leased set-top receivers (which we refer to as mirroring fees), monthly fees we charge subscribers for leased set-top receivers, monthly fees we charge subscribers for digital video recorder, or DVR, service, hardware revenues from subscribers who lease or purchase set-top receivers from us, our published programming guide, warranty service fees and advertising services. Revenues are reported net of customer credits and discounted promotions.

Broadcast programming and other. These costs primarily include license fees for subscription service programming, pay-per-view programming, live sports and other events. Other costs include expenses associated with the publication and distribution of our programming guide, continuing service fees paid to third parties for active subscribers, warranty service costs and production costs for on-air advertisements we sell to third parties.

Subscriber service expenses. Subscriber service expenses include the costs of customer call centers, billing, remittance processing and certain home services expenses, such as in-home repair costs.

Broadcast operations expenses. These expenses include broadcast center operating costs, signal transmission expenses (including costs of collecting signals for our local channel offerings), and costs of monitoring, maintaining and insuring our satellites. Also included are engineering expenses associated with deterring theft of our signal.

Subscriber acquisition costs. These costs include the cost of set-top receivers and other equipment, commissions we pay to national retailers, independent satellite television retailers, dealers, regional Bell operating companies, and the cost of installation, advertising, marketing and customer call center

expenses associated with the acquisition of new subscribers. Set-top receivers leased to new subscribers are capitalized in "Property and equipment, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The amount of set-top receivers capitalized each period for subscriber acquisitions is included in "Cash paid for subscriber leased equipment-subscriber acquisitions" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Upgrade and retention costs. The majority of upgrade and retention costs are associated with upgrade efforts for existing subscribers that we believe will result in higher average monthly revenue per subscriber, or ARPU, and lower churn. Our upgrade efforts include subscriber equipment upgrade programs for DVR, HD and HD DVR receivers and local channels, our multiple set-top receiver offer and similar initiatives. Retention costs also include the costs of installing and providing hardware under our movers program for subscribers relocating to a new residence. Set-top receivers leased to existing subscribers under upgrade and retention programs are capitalized in "Property and equipment, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The amount of set-top receivers capitalized each period for upgrade and retention programs is included in "Cash paid for subscriber leased equipment-upgrade and retention" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include departmental costs for legal, administrative services, finance, marketing and information technology. These costs also include expenses for bad debt and other operating expenses, such as legal settlements, and gains or losses from the sale or disposal of fixed assets.

Average monthly revenue per subscriber. We calculate ARPU by dividing average monthly revenues for the period (total revenues during the period divided by the number of months in the period) by average subscribers for the period. We calculate average subscribers for the period by adding the number of subscribers as of the beginning of the period and for each quarter end in the current year or period and dividing by the sum of the number of quarters in the period plus one.

Average monthly subscriber churn. Average monthly subscriber churn represents the number of subscribers whose service is disconnected, expressed as a percentage of the average total number of subscribers. We calculate average monthly subscriber churn by dividing the average monthly number of disconnected subscribers for the period (total subscribers disconnected, net of reconnects, during the period divided by the number of months in the period) by average subscribers for the period.

Subscriber count. The total number of subscribers represents the total number of subscribers actively subscribing to our service, including seasonal subscribers, subscribers who are in the process of relocating and commercial equivalent viewing units. In March 2008, we implemented a change in our commercial pricing and packaging to increase our competitiveness. As a result, during the first quarter of 2008, we made a one-time downward adjustment to the subscriber count of approximately 71,000 subscribers related to commercial equivalent viewing units.

SAC. We calculate SAC, which represents total subscriber acquisition costs stated on a per subscriber basis, by dividing total subscriber acquisition costs for the period by the number of gross new subscribers acquired during the period. We calculate total subscriber acquisition costs for the period by adding together "Subscriber acquisition costs" expensed during the period and the amount of cash paid for equipment leased to new subscribers during the period.

During the first half of 2009, we continued to experience competitive and economic pressures, which led to a greater than expected decline in demand for premium and pay-per-view services. Due to these factors, we now expect ARPU growth to be 1% to 2% for the year. We previously reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that we expected ARPU growth of about 2% to 3% for 2009.

The following table sets forth our unaudited consolidated statements of operations and certain other operating data:

Subscribers. In the second quarter of 2009, gross subscriber additions increased compared to the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to the growth in our telecommunications companies, or telco, channel due in large part to the AT&T distribution agreement. The increase in churn was principally due to more aggressive competitor promotions, partly offset by an increase in the number of subscribers with advanced services as well as the effect of more stringent credit policies. Net subscriber additions increased due to the increase in gross subscriber additions, partially offset by a higher number of subscriber disconnections.

Revenues. Revenues increased as of result of the larger subscriber base and higher ARPU. The increase in ARPU resulted primarily from price increases on programming packages, and higher HD and DVR service fees, partially offset by more competitive promotions for both new and existing customers and decreased purchases of our premium packages.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization. The improvement of operating profit before depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the gross profit generated from the higher revenues and lower general and administrative costs, partially offset by higher subscriber acquisition and upgrade and retention costs.

Broadcast programming and other costs increased due to annual program supplier rate increases and the larger number of subscribers in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008. Subscriber service expenses increased in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to the higher number of subscribers and costs associated with service quality improvement initiatives.

Subscriber acquisition costs increased due to the higher gross additions and higher marketing costs. SAC per subscriber, which includes the cost of capitalized set-top receivers, decreased due to lower set-top receiver costs and decreased national and direct sales advertising costs per subscriber addition, partially offset by higher dealer commissions.

Upgrade and retention costs increased in the second quarter of 2009 due to increases in upgrades to advanced services and increased use of the movers program.

General and administrative expenses decreased in the second quarter of 2009 primarily due to a $14 million one time charge in the second quarter of 2008 for the write-off of accounts receivable for equipment and other costs incurred to effect the orderly transition of services from one of our Home Service Providers that ceased operations and lower stock based compensation expense as a result of the resignation of our Chief Executive Officer in the second quarter of 2009.

Operating profit. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to higher operating profit before depreciation and amortization, more than offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense in the second quarter of 2009 resulting from the capitalization of set-top receivers under the lease program.

Interest income and expense. The decrease in interest income was due to lower average cash balances and lower average interest rates. The increase in interest expense was from an increase in the average debt balance compared to 2008. We capitalized $5 million of interest costs in the second quarter of 2009 and $4 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Income tax expense. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the lower income before income taxes.

Subscribers. Gross subscriber additions increased in 2009 due to higher demand for HD and DVR services and increased sales in our direct sales and telco channels primarily due to the AT&T/DIRECTV bundle, which commenced in February 2009. Net subscriber additions increased due to the higher gross subscriber additions, partially offset by a higher number of subscriber disconnections.

Revenues. Revenues increased as a result of the larger subscriber base and higher ARPU. The increase in ARPU resulted primarily from price increases on programming packages, higher HD and DVR service fees, and an increase in lease fees due to higher average number of receivers per subscriber, partially offset by more competitive promotions for both new and existing customers and lower purchases of our premium packages and pay-per-view.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization. The decrease in operating profit before depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the gross profit generated from the higher revenues, which was more than offset by higher subscriber acquisition costs from the increased number of gross subscriber additions and higher upgrade and retention costs from the increased number of existing customers adding HD and DVR services and using the movers program.

Broadcast programming and other costs increased due to annual program supplier rate increases and the larger number of subscribers in 2009. Subscriber service expenses increased in 2009 primarily due to the increased number of subscribers and costs associated with service quality improvement initiatives.

Subscriber acquisition costs increased due to the increase in the number of gross subscriber additions and higher advertising and marketing costs. SAC per subscriber, which includes the cost of capitalized set-top receivers, decreased due to lower set-top receiver costs and lower national and direct sales advertising costs per subscriber addition.

Upgrade and retention costs increased in 2009 due to an increase in upgrades to advanced services, increased use of the movers program and higher marketing costs.

General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat in 2009 primarily due to increases in labor and benefit expense, mostly offset by a $14 million charge in 2008 for the write-off of accounts receivable for equipment and other costs incurred to effect the orderly transition of services from one of our Home Service Providers that ceased operations.

Operating profit. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to lower operating profit before depreciation and amortization, coupled with higher depreciation and amortization expense in 2009 resulting from the capitalization of set-top receivers under the lease program.

Interest income and expense. The decrease in interest income was due to lower average cash balances and lower average interest rates. The increase in interest expense was from an increase in the average debt balance compared to 2008. We capitalized $9 million of interest costs during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Income tax expense. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the lower income before income taxes.

At June 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.0 billion compared with $1.1 billion at December 31, 2008. The $133 million decrease resulted primarily from $1.7 billion of cash provided by operating activities being more than offset by $785 million of cash paid for the acquisition of satellites, property and equipment and subscriber leased equipment, $1.0 billion in a cash dividend paid to our Parent and additional $88 million used for other financing activities.

As a measure of liquidity, the current ratio (ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was 0.92 at June 30, 2009 and 0.98 at December 31, 2008.

As of June 30, 2009 we had the ability to borrow up to $500 million under our existing credit facility, which is available until 2011. We are subject to restrictive covenants under the credit facility. These covenants limit our ability and our respective subsidiaries to, among other things, make restricted payments, including dividends, loans or advances to our Parent.

We expect to fund our cash requirements and our existing business plan using our available cash balances, and cash provided by operations. Also, we have received capital contributions and have borrowed amounts from our Parent in the past to fund certain transactions. We may also provide dividends to our Parent or fund other cash requirements, including additional share repurchase programs or other distributions to its stockholders, or to fund strategic investment opportunities should they arise. We may use available cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations, or incur additional borrowings, which may include borrowings under our $500 million revolving credit facility, to fund such dividends.

Several factors may affect our ability to fund our operations and commitments that we discuss in "Contingencies" below. In addition, our future cash flows may be reduced if we experience, among other things, significantly higher subscriber additions than planned, increased subscriber churn or

upgrade and retention costs, higher than planned capital expenditures for satellites and broadcast equipment, satellite anomalies or signal theft or if we are required to make a prepayment on our term loans under our senior secured credit facility. Additionally, our ability to borrow under the senior secured credit facility is contingent upon our meeting financial and other covenants associated with our credit facility as more fully described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report and in Note 13 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Part II of our 2008 Form 10-K.

At June 30, 2009, we had $5,787 million in total outstanding borrowings, bearing a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%. Our outstanding borrowings primarily consist of notes payable and amounts borrowed under a senior secured credit facility as more fully described in Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report and in Note 7 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Part II of our 2008 Form 10-K.

Covenants and Restrictions. The senior secured credit facility requires us to comply with certain financial covenants. The senior notes and the senior secured credit facility also include covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, investments or acquisitions, (iv) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (v) merge or consolidate with another entity, (vi) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, and (vii) make voluntary prepayments of certain debt, in each case subject to exceptions as provided in the credit agreement and senior notes indentures. Should we fail to comply with these covenants, all or a portion of its borrowings under the senior notes and senior secured credit facility could become immediately payable and its revolving credit facility could be terminated. At June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Debt ratings by the various rating agencies reflect each agency's opinion of the ability of issuers to repay debt obligations as they come due and the expected estimated loss given a default. In general, lower ratings result in higher borrowing costs. Please refer to our 2008 Form 10-K for discussion of Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Rating Service ratings range.

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009, including the future periods in which payments are expected. Additional details regarding these obligations are provided in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 referenced in the table below and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 have not materially changed.
