Item 1. Basis of Presentation of Quarterly Periods Information
On May 5, 2011, Satélites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V. (“Satmex”), entered into an Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as successor by merger to Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee, (the “Indenture”) pursuant to which we issued $325.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”). On March 30, 2012, Satmex issued $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 9.5% Senior Secured Notes (“SSN”) due in 2017, to be issued in a private placement under rule 144A and Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with rights to either offer to exchange the additional SSN for substantially similar notes that are registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or register the resale of the additional SSN. The additional SSN were priced at 102.00% and will bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 9.5%. The additional SSN offering closed on April 9, 2012. Section 4.03 of the Indenture requires Satmex to furnish to the holders of the Notes and the trustee (or file with the SEC for public availability) reports on Form 6-K after the occurrence of an event required to be reported on Form 8-K if Satmex was required to file such reports. As such, Satmex is furnishing this Form 6-K to disclose material non-public information regarding a completed quarter pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K.
The presentation in this Form 6-K gives effect to the issuance of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the related transactions including, but not limited to, our voluntary filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on April 6, 2011 and the confirmation of our plan of reorganization on May 11, 2011, which plan became effective on May 26, 2011 (the “Transactions).
The accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements have not been audited, but are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of unaudited consolidated financial statements. References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”).
This periodic report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. They can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, or “anticipate” or their negatives or other variations of these words or other comparable words, or by discussion of strategy that involves risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements may be included in, but are not limited to, various filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Forward-looking statements are only predictions. Actual events or results could differ materially from those projected or suggested in any forward-looking statement as a result of a wide variety of factors and conditions. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In any event the accompanying statements are applicable only as of the date of this Form 6-K and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any of them.
On July 31, 2013, Satmex announced that it had signed a Securities Purchase Agreement under which Eutelsat SA (“Eutelsat”), a fixed satellite service operator based in Paris would acquire 100% of the share capital of Satmex in an all cash transaction for US$831 million and the assumption of the company outstanding net debt. On January 1, 2014, after having obtained all required government and regulatory approvals, 100% of the share capital of Satmex was successfully acquired and transferred to Eutelsat.
On October 25, 2013, Satmex entered into the Enlaces Sale Agreement with Axesat with respect to the sale of our direct and indirect equity interests in our wholly-owned subsidiary Enlaces Integra, S. de R. L. C.V. “Enlaces”, through which we offered broadband satellite services. The Enlaces transaction is expected to close by the second half of 2014, subject to government and regulatory approvals and other customary conditions included in the Enlaces Sale Agreement. Following the execution of the Enlaces Sale Agreement, we include the Enlaces results of operations as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities associated with Enlaces as available for sale in our consolidated financial statements. For these reasons, Enlaces’ operations are no longer included within each individual line item of our consolidated financial information, but rather are presented in the statement of financial position.

As previously disclosed in the Form 6-K filed by Satmex on April 11, 2014, on that date, Satmex notified its noteholders of the early redemption on May 15 2014 of all the notes issued on May 5, 2011 and March 30, 2012 initially maturing on May 15, 2017. The Notes represent an aggregate principal amount of approximately US $360 million and bear a coupon of 9.5%. On May 15, 2014, the notes were redeemed at 104.75 per cent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
As a consequence of this early redemption Satmex will have no further obligation to file 6K forms, so this will be the last report filed.

Operating Income
As result, operating income reached $13.7 million in 2014, compared to $12.6 million in 2013.
Interest Expense, net and other
Total interest expense at end of March of 2014 accounts for $5.0 million, $3.9 million below 2013 that accounted for $8.9. As it is shown below major difference is due to higher interest capitalization of Satmex 7 and 9:

Income Tax
Year 2013 deferred taxes were calculated using a hybrid approach considering Flat Tax (IETU) resulting in a benefit of $1.8 million for the first quarter. In year 2014 due to IETU elimination, there is no hybrid calculation resulting in a deferred income tax expense of $1.4 million during the first quarter, due to the valuation of the various temporary items as of March 31, 2014.
Discontinued operations
Satmex recorded a loss of $0.3 million for discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This was mainly due to a write-down of the net assets of Enlaces using a fair value of $5.8 million.
