INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Stockholder of
Global Telesat Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Telesat Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Telesat Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GLOBAL TELESAT CORP.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION OF COMPANY AND OPERATION
 
Global Telesat Corp. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Virginia on June 27, 2003 to primarily take advantage of the US Government’s requirement for highly specialized tracking and surveillance technology. Since formation, the Company has become a provider of asset tracking and monitoring solutions for governments, commercial users and individuals. The Company provides custom made tracking and monitoring systems and devices and specializes in providing service using the extensive Globalstar low orbit satellite network.
 
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from sales are recorded when all four of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred and title has transferred or services have been rendered; (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management reviews the accounts receivable for potential doubtful accounts and maintains an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts which was -0- at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines that they become uncollectible.
 
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of costs, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market, which represents management’s best estimate of market value. Management regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on forecasts of future product demand.
 
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject Global Telesat Corp. to concentrations of risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and investments.
 
Cash
The Company places its U.S. cash balances with high credit quality financial institutions.  Under the current FDIC’s Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act the Company’s non-interest bearing business checking accounts were fully insured through December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company maintains cash balances in the United Kingdom, which did not exceed United Kingdom Financial Services Authority (“FSA”) limits.
 
Investments
The Company places its temporary cash invest­ments and equity securities with brokerage firms and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one firm.  These balances are insured up to $500,000 by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).  At December 31 2009 and 2010, the Company’s investment balances did not exceed SIPC insurable limits.
 
Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with original matur­ities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.
 
Investments
The Company carries its investments in equity securities at fair value, based on quoted market prices.  Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined by the specific identification method and are included in income. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale are reported as a component of accumulated other compre­hensive income.
 
Management determines the appropriate clas­sification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date.  Equity securities are classified as “available-for-sale.”  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no trading securities, or investments in debt securities that it plans to hold to maturity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
Income Taxes
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.  It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement and classifi­cation of amounts relating to uncertain tax positions, accounting for interest and penalties and disclosures.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
The Company’s income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2010 can still be examined by the taxing authorities.
 
The Company records provisions for federal and various state income taxes based on year-end income.
 
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of events that will be recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance will be established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefits expected to be realized. Unexpired net operating losses amount to approximately $87,000, which can be utilized under certain circumstances as a carry-back of 2 years and a carry-forward for a period of 20 years.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
NOTE 5 – INVESTMENTS

Investments are initially recorded at their acquisition cost (including brokerage and other transaction fees) if purchased and at fair value if they were received as a contribution.
 
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measure­ment date.  A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market.  Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by GAAP are used to measure fair value.
 
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
 
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, the Company has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included within level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 3 are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on manage­ment’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  (The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company’s own data.)
 
The Company’s investments consist of an investment in World Surveillance Group Inc. (Formerly Sanswire Corp.) which has been measured using level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of this investment was $353,743 and $366,301at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 7 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Management capitalizes items in excess of $1,000. Minor replacements and maintenance and repairs items are charged to expenses as incurred. Upon disposal or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the Company recognizes a gain or loss.
 
On April 15, 2010, the Company purchased, for $250,000, a 50% ownership in an airship, which requires further development and engineering work before it can be used to demonstrate to existing and potential customers. The airship was purchased from Sanswire Corp., whose name changed to World Surveillance Group Inc. On May 25, 2011 World Surveillance Group Inc. purchased Global Telesat Corp. (See Note 14 - Subsequent Events).
