                                 Re: Status of the FAISAT—2v (Call Signs KS2XCY, KS2XCZ, KS2XD)


               Dear Mr. Young:

5   ‘                            Final Analysis Communication Services, Inc., by its attorneys, hereby submits
               its quarterly status report on the FAISAT—2v Experimental Program:

                                 1.     Satellite

                                 All of the satellite components and sub—systems have been manufactured and
              delivered to Final Analysis. All of these components and sub—systems have successfully gone
              through environmental testing (including thermal vacuum and vibration testing.) Integration
              of the satellite is in progress at the new Final Analysis corporate headquarters in Lanham,
              Maryland. Current plans include shipping the satellite to Russia in January 1997 for launch
              as a secondary payload aboard a Cosmos rocket in the first quarter of 1997. A firm launch
              date will be determined in January 1997 by the Russian government.

                   2.    Ground Stations

              Ground stations are being installed in three locations, Logan, Utah, Lanham,
Maryland‘ and Andoya, Norway, and additional ground stations may be installed in foreign
locations. All parts and components required for these three ground stations have been
received. These ground stations have the hardware and software capability to perform
TT&C and day—to—day operation for, not only FAISAT—2v, but the full FAISAT commercial
constellation.

                   3.    User Terminals

               The prototype user terminals have been designed, developed and
manufactured. These terminals are currently undergoing testing. These prototypes will be
tested together with the assembled satellite, prior to the shipment of the satellite to Russia.
Upon completion of the testing, additional user terminals will be manufactured.

              Please do not hesitate to call me at the above—referenced number, if you have
any questions regarding this matter.

                                                 Respectfully submitted,




                                                 Peter A. Batacan

                                                 Counsel for Final Analysis
