FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This form 6-K and the exhibits hereto contain forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which are described in the registrant's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 20-F filed on June 18, 2007.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. The words "estimate," "project," "anticipate," expect," "intend," "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information. The registrant identifies the following important factors which could cause its actual results to differ materially from any results which might be projected, forecast, estimated or budgeted by the registrant in forward-looking information. All of such factors are difficult to predict and many are beyond the control of the registrant. Accordingly, while the registrant believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will approximate actual experience, and in such event, actual results could differ materially from the predictions contained in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 20-F and this Form 6-K and its exhibits hereto. These important factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the continued operation of the existing in-orbit satellites and success in constructing and launching new satellites as planned, (ii) future economic and competitive conditions in the Asian regional satellite market in which AsiaSat competes, (iii) the registrant's success in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and licenses, and (iv) the continued ability of the registrant to meet its debt obligations and fund its capital expenditure programs.
