SATELLITE ENTERPRISE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Satellite Enterprise Corp. and Subsidiaries annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $16,054,341 and, has a negative working capital, and a stockholders deficit. Management has ceased operations as of September 30, 2006 of the operations of Satellite Newspapers Suisse GMBH, its operating subsidiary. The ceasing of the operation does not allow the Company to generate revenues. As a result, it is questionable whether the Company can continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 SALE OF SATELLITE NEWSPAPER CONTENT B.V. AND SATELLITE NEWSPAPER TRADING
B.V.
On May 2, 2006, Satellite Newspapers Suisse GMBH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Satellite Enterprise Corp., sold its interest in Satellite Newspaper Content B.V. and Satellite Newspaper Trading B.V. Accordingly, a gain from discontinued operations has been recognized in the statement of operations.
NOTE 4 STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT
On July 1, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors and shareholders approved a 50 to 1 reverse split. Accordingly, all shares and per share numbers have been restated to reflect the reverse split.
NOTE 5 DEFAULT JUDGEMENT
In May 2004, Fred DeVries and Renato Mariani filed suit in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court located in Palm Beach County, Florida, claiming breach of employment contracts against the Company and against the Companys CEO, claiming Fraud. The parties were seeking monies and benefits. The parties were recently awarded and filed a default judgment against the Company in the amount of $1,440,000 of which $300,000 has previously been reserved.
NOTE 6 CLOSING OF SATELLITE NEWSPAPERS SUISSE GMBH
As of September 30, 2006, the Company has determined to cease the operation of Satellite Newspapers Suisse GMBH. Accordingly, the Company has made a provision for the assets related to Satellite Newspapers Suisse GMBH.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OERATION.
Management has ceased operations as of September 30, 2006 of the operations of Satellite Newspapers Suisse GMBH, its operating subsidiary. The ceasing of the operation does not allow the Company to generate revenues. As a result, it is questionable whether the Company can continue as a going concern.
PRIOR HISTORY OF SATELLITE
The Company was formed as a Nevada corporation on April 14, 1998, to operate as a specialty retailer of fine jewelry. In its fiscal year ending June 30, 2000, the Company sold a limited quantity of jewelry through direct mail and word of mouth advertising.
On July 29, 2000, subsequent to the close of its June 30, 2000 fiscal year, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of GreenVolt Corp., an Ontario Corporation (GreenVolt) in a stock for stock exchange. GreenVolt was in the process of developing fuel cell technologies for commercial and industrial use. In connection with this transaction, management of the Company changed, and the Company disposed of its retail jewelry business in September 2000, by transfer of all jewelry assets and liabilities to Larry Beck, a former director of the company. In connection with such transaction, the Company changed its name from Beck & Co., Inc. to GreenVolt Power Corp.
On August 27, 2002, Satellite Holdings, Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Turks & Caicos, acquired 13,783,740 shares of the Companys common stock from Thomas L. Faul. Such shares represented approximately 53% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Mr. Faul resigned as the Companys sole officer and director, after appointing Robert Hodge as the Companys new President and CEO, and as Chairman of the Board of Directors. In addition, in exchange for the release by Faul of the Company for various claims, the Company transferred its wholly owned subsidiary, GreenVolt Corp., to Faul.
On August 28, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to change the name of the Company to Satellite Enterprises Corp., and on September 15, 2002, the Company completed a one-for-one-hundred reverse stock split (the Reverse Stock Split) of its outstanding common stock.
During fiscal year 2003, the Company concentrated its efforts on maintaining its corporate status and seeking a merger candidate.
On June 20, 2003, in conjunction with a previously reported change of control of the Company, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement with Satellite Newspapers Worldwide NV, a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands (hereinafter Satellite Newspapers). Under said Rights Agreement, Satellite Newspapers appointed the Company as its irrevocable commercial exclusive distributor to promote the sale and/or lease of its newspaper Kiosks (hereinafter KiOSK) and the associated Satellite newspaper content distribution technology for which Satellite Newspapers has developed the technology, owns the patents, engineering and technical design. These Rights include the exclusive rights to use the trade names, logos and other trade designations, including, but not limited to, all rights to the Satellite Newspapers derived content fed into the territory granted therein to the Company and the names Satellite Newspapers devices or variants thereof as a corporate or trade name of Satellite Newspapers. These Rights also include the exclusive rights to distribute all available contents of its KiOSKs in its territory which includes all of North, Central and South America including but not limited to Mexico, the United States and all its territories, and all the Caribbean Islands, including the existing inventory of prototype and placebo units of its KiOSKs in the Americas. The Rights further include all parts and supply inventory owned by Satellite Newspapers relating to its KiOSKs in said territory.
In October 2003, Satellite Newspapers took a different direction. Satellite Newspapers sold their patents, software and trademarks to Media Finance en Suisse Holding GmbH, a Swiss corporation (hereinafter Media Finance). Thereafter, Media Finance set up an operating subsidiary, Satellite Newspapers Suisse GmbH, a Swiss corporation (hereinafter Satellite Swiss). Media Finance granted Satellite Swiss a twenty-year exclusive license to distribute all satellite derived contents for the purpose of commercializing their product under a revenue sharing arrangement.

On November 26, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Option Agreement dated November 26, 2003 with Media Finance for the purchase of 100% of Satellite Swiss. This option agreement allowed the Company to acquire the right to purchase 100% of the shares of common stock of Satellite Swiss. On February 15, 2004, the Company exercised the option and acquired 100% of Satellite Swiss in consideration for the issuance of 126,000,000 shares of common stock.
On December 19, 2003, as part of the Companys desire to obtain Satellite Swiss, Roy Piceni, founder of Satellite Newspapers and whose family owns 100% of Media Finance was elected the Companys chairman of the board and as its president.
Satellite Swiss consists of two subsidiaries, Satellite Newspapers Content BV a Dutch corporation that negotiates agreements with newspapers throughout the world for the rights to distribute their content and Satellite Newspapers Trading BV which has the production rights to produce and sell the KiOSKs.
On March 11, 2004 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation whereby the authorized number of shares of common stock were increased from 200,000,000 to 500,000,000 and thereafter declared a 3-for-1 stock split effective in the form of a 200 per cent stock dividend payable on or about March 31, 2004 to shareholders of record as of March 22, 2004 thereby increasing its issued shares as of that date to 197,887,545.
On August 31, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 52% interest in SoliDAM, a software development company located in the Netherlands. The purchase price is to consist of the issuance of a $125,000 note payable to the stockholders of SoliDAM as well as 919,926 shares of the Companys stock. On September 15, 2005, the Company and the shareholders of SoliDAM decided that the acquisition of SoliDAM was not in the best interests of either party. It was mutually agreed to unwind the transaction. Accordingly the shareholders of SoliDAM returned the 919,926 shares of the Companys common stock and released the Company from its note obligation in the amount of $125,000.
In June 2005, Swiss Satellite incorporated two new Swiss subsidiary entities. Satellite Newspapers Content GmbH and Satellite Newspapers Trading GmbH. Except for the Development and Network Management, the Swiss Companies will take over all activities from the Dutch Companies.
On November 30, 2005, the Company changed its name from Satellite Newspapers Corp. to Satellite Newspapers Corp. In addition, effective November 30, 2005, the Companys quotation symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board changed from SENR to SNWP.
On December 5, 2005, Mr. Roy Piceni resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On December 5, 2005, the Board of Directors appointed Ms. Jerri L. Palmer as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Piceni will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
On March 31, 2006, the Companys subsidiary Swiss Satellite entered into a binding Secured Purchase Agreement which closed on the same date with Media Finance en Suisse Holding GmbH whereby the Company sold $2,700,000 original principal amount of Series A Premium Secured Convertible Debenture and its two Dutch subsidiaries Satellite Newspapers Content BV and Satellite Newspapers Trading BV.
Media Finance en Suisse Holding GmbH paid for the Debentures and the two subsidiaries when it was transferred to Swiss Satellite all its validity issued and subsisting Intellectual Properties, such as patents to the manufacture of the KiOSKS that was owned by Media Finance en Suisse Holding GmbH. With this transaction, the twenty-year exclusive license distribution agreement with Media Finance has ended and the Company is free from its monthly fee obligation, since the Company is now the holder of these rights.
Management has ceased operations as of September 30, 2006 of the operations of Satellite Newspapers Suisse GMBH, its operating subsidiary. The ceasing of the operation does not allow the Company to generate revenues. As a result, it is questionable whether the Company can continue as a going concern.
