ANNUAL SECTION 25.143(e) REPORT

1CO Satellite Services G.P. ("1CO®) submits the following information, current as of
September 30, 2005, pursuant to Section 25.143(e) of the Commission‘s rules.

    1.     Status of satellte construction and anticipated launch dates, including any
           major problems or delays encountered.
On May24, 2005, the International Bureau granted ICO‘s application to modify its letter
of intent authorization to provide 2 GHz mobile satellite service (°MSS") to the United
States through a geostationary satellte orbit (°GSO") system instead of a non—
geostationary satellite orbit system.". The Bureau found that ICO already had entered
into a non—contingent satellte manufacturing contract with Space Systems/Loral and
completed critical desin review for its GSO system*

Since grant ofits modification application, ICO has met the applicable FCC—prescribed
milestones on a timely basis and continues to make rapid progress in construction ofts
GSO system. Specifically, ICO has commenced physical construction ofits satellite and
has met the first two milestones prescribed in the ICO Modification Order.
in addition, ICO has raised $650 million in an August 2005 deboffering, the proceeds of
which willfund a substantial portion of its costs to develop the 1CO 2 GHz GSO MSS
system.
1CO expects to launch its 2 GHz GSO satellite July 1, 2007 and to begin satellite
operations by July 17, 2007, consistent with the milestones set forth in the ICO
Modification Order.
   2.      Listing of any non—scheduled space station outages for more than 30 minutes
           and the cause or causes ofthe outage.
Not applicable.
   3.      Detailed description of the utlization made ofthe in—orbit satelltesystem
           (including percentage of time that the system is actually used for U.S.
           domestic or transborder transmission, the amount of capacity (ifany) sold but
           not in service within U.S.territorial geographic areas, the amount of unused
           system capacity and, if applicable, te actual number ofsubscriber minutes
           originating or terminating in unserved areas within the unserved areas
           expansion spectrum as a percentage of the actual U.8.system use).
Not applicable.

   4.      Identification of any space stations not available for service or otheriwise not
           performing to specifications, the cause or causes ofthese difficulties and the
           date any space station was taken out of service or the malfunction identified.
