SIDUS SPACE, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2024

 

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Organization

 

Sidus Space Inc. (“Sidus”, “we”, “us” or the “Company”), was formed as Craig Technologies Aerospace Solutions, LLC, in the state of Florida, on July 17, 2012. On April 16, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion to register and incorporate with the state of Delaware and on August 13, 2021 changed the company name to Sidus Space, Inc.

Note 2. Summary of Signification Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and GAAP in the United States of America. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed on October 11, 2024.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has reclassified operating expenses to selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the variable interest entity (“VIE”), Aurea Alas Limited (“Aurea”), of which we are the primary beneficiary. Aurea is a Limited company organized in the Isle of Man, which entered into a license agreement with a third party vendor, whereby they licensed the rights to use certain available radio frequency spectrum for satellite communications. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

-8-

 

 

For entities determined to be VIEs, an evaluation is required to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity specifically determining if the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (“the power”) and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“the benefits”). When making the determination on whether the benefits received from an entity are significant, the Company considers the total economics of the entity and analyzes whether the Company’s share of the economics is significant. The Company utilizes qualitative factors, and, where applicable, quantitative factors, while performing the analysis.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. Examples of estimates and assumptions include: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,, the fair value of and/or potential impairment of property and equipment; product life cycles; useful lives of our property and equipment; allowances for doubtful accounts; the market value of, and demand for, our inventory; fair value calculation of warrant; and the potential outcome of uncertain tax positions that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of September 30, 2024, was approximately $0.9 million. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. The Company has also mitigated some of the risk through the use of a premium savings account. This account is used for amounts that are over a set balance maintained in the Company’s general operating account. Balances in the premium savings account are insured up to $150 million.

 

Bad Debt and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Historically the Company has been able to collect all past due amounts and has not written off past due invoices, therefore there is limited historical data on the company’s historical losses or expected losses at this time. In compliance with GAAP the Company has determined the following policy will be followed regarding outstanding customer invoices.

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established to reflect the anticipated uncollectible value of the related receivable account. Review procedures have been established to provide a realistic reserve based on past collection experience and anticipated losses on the receivables.

 

The company will utilize the allowance method based on accounts receivable aging in order to accrue bad debt expense and the contra balance sheet account, allowance for doubtful accounts. The accounts receivable aging will be reviewed quarterly and necessary adjustments made to the allowance for doubtful accounts account balance. The Company will review their policy annually to determine if adjustments should be made based on more recent accounts receivable trends.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any bad debt.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
     
  Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
     
  Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition approach. The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for exchange of those goods or services. The Company’s updated accounting policies and related disclosures are set forth below, including the disclosure for disaggregated revenue. The impact of adopting ASC 606 was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Revenue from the Company is recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

 

Revenues from fixed price manufacturing related contracts that are still in progress at month end are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenue from fixed price contracts and time-and-materials contracts that are completed in the month the work was started are recognized when the work is shipped. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenues from fixed price service contracts that contain provisions for milestone payments primarily related to satellite payload related contracts are recognized at the time of the milestone being met and payment received. This method is used because management considers that the payments are nonrefundable unless the entity fails to perform as promised. If the customer terminates the contract, the Company is entitled only to retain any progress payments received from the customer and the Company has no further rights to compensation from the customer. Even though the payments made by the customer are nonrefundable, the cumulative amount of those payments is not expected, at all times throughout the contract, to at least correspond to the amount that would be necessary to compensate the Company for performance completed to date. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the progress under the contract as a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.

 

Share-based payments are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service.

 

The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The share price as of the grant date was determined by current market prices for our common stock. Expected volatility is based on the historical stock price volatility of comparable companies’ common stock, as our stock does not have sufficient historical trading activity. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Note 11. Notes Payable

 

Decathlon Note

 

On December 3, 2021, we entered into a Loan Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or Loan Assignment, with Decathlon Alpha IV, L.P., or Decathlon and Craig Technical Consulting, Inc (“CTC”) pursuant to which we assumed the Decathlon Note. In connection with our assumption of the Decathlon Note, CTC reduced the principal of the Note Payable – related party by $1.4 million for an aggregate principal balance of $2.6 million. The Company recorded a reclassification of $1,106,164 from Note Payable – related party to Note payable – non- current (Decathlon note) and recorded forgiveness of note payable – related party of $293,836. (See Note 12)

 

Management believes that the assumption of the Decathlon Note from CTC is in our best interests because in connection therewith, Decathlon released us from a cross-collateralization agreement it was a party to with CTC for a loan of a greater amount. Also in connection with the Loan Assignment on December 3, 2021, we entered into a Revenue Loan and Security Agreement, or RLSA, with Decathlon and our CEO, Carol Craig, pursuant to which we pay interest based on a minimum rate of one (1) times the amount advanced and make monthly payments based on a percentage of our revenue calculated as an amount equal to the product of (i) all revenue for the immediately preceding month multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Revenue Percentage, defined as 4% of revenue for payments due during any month. The Decathlon Note was amended November 16,2023. The maturity date was extended from December 9, 2023 to December 9, 2024 and the monthly interest was converted to a fixed amount of $50,000 per month. The Decathlon Note is secured by our assets and is guaranteed by CTC and matures the earliest of: (i) December 9, 2024, (ii) immediately prior to a change of control, or (iii) upon an acceleration of the obligations due to a default under the RLSA. As a result, on December 31, 2021, the Company recorded the forgiveness of note payable-related party of $293,836 and the reclass of $1,106,164 from Note Payable – related party to Note Payable.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of $968,864 and $561,476, respectively, which included an additional accrual estimate based on the principal and accrued but unpaid interest payment due when the note matures, and made payments of $150,000 and $223,995, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded principal amount and accrued interest of $2,836,150 and $2,017,286 on the balance sheet, respectively. At maturity the Company will be required to pay approximately $2.9 million representing the Decathlon Note and accrued but unpaid interest.

Concurrently with the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in a concurrent private placement, for each share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by the investor, such investor received from the Company an unregistered warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.152 per share, will be exercisable immediately upon issuance, and will have a term of five years from the date of issuance. The exercise price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Class A Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions).

Overview

 

Founded in 2012, we are a space mission enabler that provides flexible, cost-effective solutions including custom satellite design, payload hosting, mission management, space manufacturing and AI enhanced space-based sensor data for government, defense, intelligence, and commercial companies around the globe.

 

Our adaptable solutions provide mission flexibility while reducing time to orbit. We are able to provide customers a variety of mission options whether they require a custom satellite design, payload hosting, mission management, or space sensor data as a service. Our solutions are also cost-effective while still preserving the ability to respond to customer needs.

 

Our modular LizzieSat™ satellite platform, which is the first of its kind 3D printed, artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced multi-mission satellite, can host new payloads. Its flexible and modular design also enables it to be customized or scaled to create a new satellite design in a cost-effective manner to meet mission requirements.

 

LizzieSat™ is also able to operate as a data service platform and deliver situational awareness for a wide variety of missions including visual spectrum, methane, and AIS data collection. And by incorporating FeatherEdge™ AI into our on-orbit processing, we are able to provide more efficient and effective data processing and delivery.

 

We have proven space heritage and expertise in multi-disciplinary engineering, mission-critical hardware manufacturing, satellite design, production, launch planning, mission operations, and in-orbit support. We are strategically headquartered on Florida’s Space Coast, which provides easy access to nearby launch facilities, and we operate a 35,000-square-foot manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing facility which is ISO 9001:2015, AS9100 Rev. D certified.

 

We designed, launched, and manage our own satellite LizzieSat™, which achieved first launch mission success in March of 2024. The success of our LizzieSat™ is built upon our work over the last decade, where we produced numerous flight-proven systems, platforms, devices and hardware for other customers.

 

We continue to focus on innovation and agility. In October of 2024, we received approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate a micro constellation of remote sensing, multi-mission satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), and we continue to enhance the capabilities of our LizzieSat™ platform. Planned enhancements include:  

 

VPX open architecture with simplified assembly and integration, reduced mass, and better performance
Integration of a processor capable of handling one hundred trillion or Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS)
Upgraded payload processor with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) capable of handling payloads at high speed up to 12 Gb/s; also includes five times more computing power and more speed with a 1.8 GHz quad core processor

Our vertically integrated model is complementary across each line of business aiming to expand existing and unlock new potential revenue generating opportunities while maintaining diversity of revenue. We are not dependent on a single line of business or customer, which provides us the “optionality” to scale where market needs demand. This diversity mitigates risks associated with external factors like macroeconomic shifts or technological disruptions. Our flexibility allows us to adapt swiftly to market changes, supporting growth across all our business lines.

 

Products and Services

 

  Space-as-a-Service capabilities: We replace traditional, product-centric Space business models and transform them into “-as-a-Service” models. For our customers, their capital expenditures are drastically reduced as design, development, and manufacturing of the satellite is no longer necessary. These resources can be redirected towards operations, and operating margins are higher as a result due to a more efficient approach to providing the service and taking advantage of lessons learned and economies of scale.
         
      Satellite-as-a-Service (SataaS): We offer integration of a customer payload or technology and handle the remaining services required including bus development, launch, and ongoing mission operations, and provide data validation for success criteria. We consider the continued operation of payloads as Constellation-as-a-Service.
         
      Space Platform-as-a-Service (SPaaS): We provide the ability for customers to build applications as a layer on our space platform. Our architecture is flexible enough to support new customer missions post-launch (through software and algorithm updates), which allows Sidus to generate additional revenue on LizzieSats that have already launched, these services allow software application developers to use our network of sensors, software-defined radio and high-performance computer for their business cases. We offer the ability to run a customer’s AI/ML software models on earth observation satellites without the customer having to launch their own hardware. We consider extended operations of SPaaS as Space Based Data Solutions.
         
      Constellation-as-a-Service (CaaS): We offer satellites as a platform on which customer sensors and instruments can be flown as a service to collect data from a specific geographic location to provide data to the customer on a monthly subscription basis. Our Constellation-as-a-Service model shares our satellite and constellation with multiple customers and therefore offers CaaS customers more sensor data and capacity for a fraction of traditional Earth Observation (EO) and Non-Earth Imaging (NEI) satellite costs. It also allows for rapid program activation and increased resiliency for mission failures.
         
  Space Based Data Solutions (SBDaaS): We offer several space-based platform missions depending on needs, budget, and timeframe. Our performance-based LizzieSat constellation provides data and results for commercial, and government demands of our interconnected, cloud-based, and data-driven world predicated on the specific sensors and technologies requested. Integrated AI provides fast pattern recognition with AI edge processing for identifying emerging issues and anomalies related to the data collection. Our LizzieSat design allows for simultaneous on-orbit data collection from multiple sensors with the flexibility to integrate new technologies during the production cycle.

  3D Printing Products and Services: Recently unveiled, our multi-material 3D printing services and printers enable the fabrication of a complex satellite bus with unprecedented precision, efficiency and modularity. This technology revolutionizes the manufacturing process, reducing production costs and lead times while reducing the weight of the satellite bus without sacrificing its structural integrity. This 3D material has been used on-orbit and carries a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of TRL-9 for space applications. TRL-9 describes the maturity of a technology that has been proven to work during a flight mission in space.
     
As of September 2024, key achievements and successes include:
     
  Launched the first of several planned hybrid additive in-house manufactured (3D printed) satellites (“LizzieSats”) engineered to have the capacity and adaptability to simultaneously host payloads for Sidus driven data-as-a-service purposes and/or offer ‘ride-share’ opportunities for technology customers to deliver data to their end users.
     
  Established on-orbit data operations by completing the commissioning phase and activating payloads. The Sidus team has already achieved several primary mission objectives and continues to work through the remaining tasks in a deliberate and systematic approach. Many competitors launch a prototype satellite for the first launch, but LizzieSat-1 is a functional satellite with both customer and Sidus-owned technology onboard. The NASA Stennis Space Center ASTRA team and Sidus Space successfully completed all ASTRA primary mission objectives on LizzieSat-1. Once the ASTRA primary mission objectives were completed, NASA awarded Sidus Space with additional funding to complete new critical mission objectives over the course of the next 12 months.
     
  Signed a multi-year and multi-launch agreement with Space-X thereby offering customers by extension a reliable, cost-effective launch service with a steady cadence of launches.
     
  Completed build of the second LizzieSat (LizzieSat-2) planned to launch in the fourth quarter of 2024 with Sidus and customer payloads installed. Sidus space is nearly complete with building and testing of the third commercial LizzieSat (LizzieSat-3) with Sidus and customer hosted payloads installed. LizzieSat-3 launch is planned for Q1 2025.
     
  Integrated Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) software into LizzieSat-1 satellite and demonstrated successful operations to offer on-orbit tailored solutions to customers enabling geospatial data to be processed more effectively. LizzieSat-3 is expected to fly the next generation version of the integrated Edge AI software which includes multiple enhancements in technology and rapid data transfer.
     
  Established a fully operational mission control center to manage satellite operations, orchestrate collection management tasks and satisfy data distribution requests for our own constellations and others.
     
  Achieved flight heritage, which is the history of successful operation of a particular component, subsystem, or system in a space environment, for our FeatherEdge edge computing hardware and software solutions.
     
  Expanded our capabilities and opportunities related to geospatial intelligence following the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s (NGA) award to provide research and development services to NGA’s Research and Development directorate as a subcontractor to Solis Science.
     
  Expanded our capabilities related to Lunar following award of the NASA Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services Contract as a member of the Intuitive Machines-led Moon Reusable Autonomous Crewed Exploration Rover team.
     
  Received approval by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for operation of a micro constellation of remote sensing, multi-mission satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
     
  Developed the Sidus Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Switch Card. The hybrid 3D printed switch card serves as port replicator and extends the capabilities of the payload processor, enabling communication with multiple optical sensors through high speed LVDS data connections and will be integrated in LizzieSat™-2 and 3 enhanced designs.
     
  Signed an agreement with Neuraspace where Neuraspace will provide Space Traffic Management and LEOP (Launch and Early Operations) support services to Sidus Space, thereby enhancing Sidus’ constellation operation capabilities.
     
  Successfully completed the primary objectives of the Autonomous Satellite Technology for Resilient Application (ASTRA) historic In-Space payload mission with NASA Stennis Space Center. 

 

We plan to be a global provider of space-based data and insights by collecting data from space with no equivalent terrestrial alternatives. We plan to initially focus on creating offerings in earth-based observations and Space situational awareness. These decisions are reinforced by the growing and large addressable markets they represent.

Our LizzieSat satellite platform has been designed to provide differentiated data collection when compared to industry alternatives. We plan to lead the next generation of earth and space data collection by:

 

  Collecting on-orbit coincident data: LizzieSat is capable of hosting multiple-sensors on the same satellite to collect varying data types at the same time and with the same collection geometry. On-orbit coincident collection benefits users by decreasing false positives with complementary datasets that reinforce one another.
     
  Analyzing data on the satellite on-orbit: To maximize value and speed in data processing, we invested resources into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) on-board the satellite through hardware and software development. Our plans include integrating radiation hardened AI/ML capabilities alongside our on-orbit coincident data collection.
     
  Reducing data size: By processing data at the edge on-board LizzieSat, we reduce the file size by transmitting only the processed solution, not the entire raw dataset. This enables us to move data from low-earth orbit to higher orbit data relay services (such as Iridium) for a lower-cost and more continual data transmission option to our customers.
     
  Providing a system flexible enough to support new customer missions post-launch (through software and algorithm updates) which allows Sidus to generate additional revenue on LizzieSats that have already launched

 

The net value of data collected from our planned LizzieSat constellation is expected to allow organizations to make better decisions with higher confidence, and increased accuracy and speed. We expect to enrich this processed data with customizable analytics users control for their own use case, and in turn provide data as a subscription across industries to organizations so they can improve decision-making and mitigate risk.

 

We support a broad range of international and domestic governments and commercial companies including the Netherlands Organization, U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA, Collins Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, Teledyne Marine, Bechtel, OneWeb Satellites, Parsons Corporation, and L3Harris in areas that include launch vehicles, satellite hardware, and autonomous underwater vehicles. Planned services that benefit current and future customers include delivering space-based data that can provide critical insight for agriculture, commodities tracking, disaster assessment, illegal trafficking monitoring, energy, mining, oil and gas, fire monitoring, classification of vegetation, soil moisture, carbon mass, Maritime Automatic Identification System (AIS), Air Traffic Control Automatic Dependent Surveillance, and weather monitoring; providing the ability for customers to demonstrate that a technology (hardware or software) performs successfully in the harsh environment of space and delivering space services. We plan to own and operate one of the industry’s leading U.S. based low earth orbit small satellite (“smallsat” or “smallsats”) constellations focused on earth observation and remote sensing. Our operating strategy is to continue to enhance the capabilities of our satellite constellation, to increase our international and domestic partnerships and to expand our co-incident data analytics offerings in order to increase the value we deliver to our customers. Our two operating assets—our satellite constellation and hardware manufacturing capability, complement each other and stem from years of experience and innovation.

 

Key Factors Affecting Our Results and Prospects

 

We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities but also pose risks and challenges, including competition from better known and well-capitalized companies, the risk of actual or perceived safety issues and their consequences for our reputation and the other factors discussed under “Risk Factors.” We believe the factors discussed below are key to our success.

Expanding Commercial Satellite Operations

 

Our goal is to help customers understand how space-based data can be impactful to day-to-day business. Our strategy includes increasing the demand downstream by starting out as end user focused. While others are focused on a data verticalization strategy specializing on key sectors or a problem set, we believe that flexibility in production, low-cost bespoke design and ‘Bringing Space Down to Earth’ for consumers will provide a scalable model for growth. In Q1 2024, we successfully launched and began operations with our LizzieSat multi-mission satellite.

 

In Q2 2024, we announced the successful on-orbit activation of the FeatherEdge AI platform which enables us to deliver near real-time intelligence derived from earth observation data. Further expanding the capabilities of our constellation, we implemented the SatLab A/S second-generation automated identification system (AIS) technology into the LizzieSat satellite constellation. AIS technology uses sophisticated systems on board marine vessels to identify and track ships to prevent collisions and protect life at sea. The integration of this technology, combined with data from optical sensors on board LizzieSat enables unique vessel tracking and monitoring solutions while providing valuable information about ship movements in real time.

 

We have previously been approved for our X-band and S-band radio frequencies licensing through a published filing by the ITU on April 6, 2021. Such licenses are held through Aurea Alas, Ltd., an Isle of Man company, which is a Variable interest entity to us. The ITU filing contains approved spectrum use for multiple X-Band and S-Band frequencies and seven different orbital planes, including 45 degrees. In August 2023, the FCC granted Sidus a LizzieSat experimental launch and operating license for launch and deploy on a SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter 10 mission. This license includes approval for orbital operations utilizing the previously approved ITU S-band and X-band frequencies and ground station coverage. We also received FCC Part 25 license approval for the LizzieSat satellite constellation missions two through five in October 2024. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, granted a Tier 1 license authorizing Sidus to operate LizzieSat1-3, a private remote-sensing space system comprised of three satellites (LizzieSat-1 through LizzieSat-3 or LS-1 through LS-3) in 2024. This license was updated and approved by NOAA after LizzieSat -1 launch to reflect the actual orbital data and planned altitudes for imager operations.

 

The imagery from Near-infrared and Short-wave infrared imagers will be integrated into our FeatherBox AI onboard processor and combined with AIS data to detect marine traffic migration and illegal fishing activities, detect methane emissions and detect vegetative stress in various agricultural areas. Any delays in commencing our commercial launch operations, including delays or cost overruns in obtaining NOAA licenses or other regulatory approvals for future operations or frequency requirements, could adversely impact our results and growth plans.

 

The exact timing of launches is contingent on several factors, including satisfactory and timely completion of assembly, integrating and testing of the satellites, regulatory approvals, confirmation of the launch slot timing by the launch provider, logistics, weather conditions, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

Growing and expanding our experienced space hardware operations

 

We are seeking to grow our space and defense hardware operations, with a goal of expanding from one shift to two and a half shifts with an increased customer base in the future. With current customers in the space, marine, and defense industries, our contract revenue is growing, and we are in active discussions with numerous potential customers, including government agencies, large defense contractors and private companies, to add to our contracted revenue. In the past decade, we have fabricated ground and flight products for the NASA SLS Rocket and Mobile Launcher as well as other commercial space and satellite companies. We have supported customers such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Dynetics/Leidos, Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance, Collins Aerospace, L3Harris, OneWeb and Space Systems Loral/Maxar. We have manufactured various products including fluid, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, electrical control systems, cable harnesses, hardware lifting frames, umbilical plates, purge and hazardous gas disconnects, frangible bolts, reef cutters, wave guides, customized platforms, and other precision machined and electrical component parts for all types of rockets, ground, flight and satellite systems.

Vertically Integrated Space Infrastructure Manufacturing

 

We are designing, developing, manufacturing, and operating a constellation of proprietary smallsats. These satellites are designed for multiple missions and customers and form the foundation of our satellite platform. Weighing approximately 100 kilograms each, these hybrid 3D printed, modular satellites are being designed to be more functional than cubesats and nanosatellites and less expensive to manufacture than the larger satellites in the 200-600kg range. In addition to our own satellites, we are expecting to design and manufacture customized satellites for LEO and lunar applications for customers that include government and commercial entities.

 

Our cost-efficient smallsats are being designed from the ground-up to optimize performance per unit cost. Our model is a movement from highly bespoke, costly satellite manufacturing techniques to standardized bus with integration of customer needs at lower costs. We can integrate technologies and deliver data on demand at lower costs than legacy providers due to our vertical integration, use of commercial off the shelf (COTS) proven systems, cost-efficiencies, capital efficient constellation design, and adaptable pricing models.

 

We design and manufacture our satellites at our Cape Canaveral facility. Our current configuration and facility are designed to manufacture multiple satellites per month. Our vertical integration enables us to control our satellites through the entire design, manufacturing, and operation process. Our years of experience manufacturing space hardware means we can leverage our manufacturing expertise and commercial best practices for satellite production. Additionally, leveraging both in-house and partner-provided subsystem components and in-house design and integration services, as well as operational support of satellites on orbit, to provide turn-key delivery of entire constellations offer “concept to constellation” in months instead of years. Specifically, our offerings are expected to encompass all aspects of hosted satellite and constellation services, including hosting customer payloads onto our satellites, and delivering data and constellation services to customers from our space platform. These services are expected to allow customers to focus on developing innovative payloads rather than having to design or develop complete satellite buses or satellites or constellations, which we will provide, along with ancillary services that are likely to include telemetry, tracking and control, communications, processing, as well as software development and maintenance. Our patented space-related technologies include a print head for regolith-polymer mixture and associated feedstock; a heat transfer system for regolith; a method for establishing a wastewater bioreactor environment; vertical takeoff and landing pad and interlocking pavers to construct same; and high-load vacuum chamber motion feedthrough systems and methods. Regolith is a blanket of unconsolidated, loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering solid rock. It includes dust, broken rocks, and other related materials and is present on earth, the moon, Mars, some asteroids, and other terrestrial planets and moons. We continue to patent our products including our satellites, external platforms and other innovations.

 

Revenue Generation

 

We generate revenue by selling payload space on our satellite platform, providing engineering and systems integration services to strategic customers on a project-by-project basis, and manufacturing space hardware to include satellites. Additionally, we intend to add to our revenue by selling geospatial data and actionable intelligence captured through our constellation. This support is typically contracted to both commercial and government customers under fixed price contracts and often includes other services. Due to the size and capacity of our satellite, we plan to host a diverse array of sensors such as Multispectral and Hyperspectral Earth Observing Imagers, Maritime Vessel RF Tracking receivers, UHF IoT Transceivers, Optical Communications systems, and others on a single platform that can simultaneously address the needs of many customer requirements.

 

Lowering Manufacturing Cost and Schedule

 

We have developed a manufacturing model that provides rapid response to customer requirements including integration of customers technologies and space-based data delivery. Our planned satellites are being designed to integrate COTS subsystems that are space-proven, can be rapidly integrated into the satellite and replaced rapidly when customer needs change or evolve. Our vertically integrated manufacturing processes give us the flexibility to make changes during the production cycle without impacting launch or costs.

Environmental, social, and corporate governance

 

While Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting is not mandatory, we are developing an ESG policy that will implement the tracking of several indicators we believe are critical to ensure we are doing our part to continue sustainable growth and maximize shareholder value. We have been in business for over twelve years manufacturing space hardware and components, and in that time, implementation of policies and processes to mitigate environmental impact have been of upmost importance. Furthermore, since our inception, we have recognized the value of our employees and have always prioritized employee well-being through facets such as excellent benefits, programs, educational assistance, and insurance of a safe and healthy work environment. We also understand that our efforts to promote value and well -being are not limited to our employees. We are committed to the communities we belong to both locally and professionally. We recently started to formalize this commitment, providing tangible benefits back to the community that supports us.

Revenue

 

Non-related party revenue increased 131% for the 3 months ended September 30, 2024 to approximately $1.8 million as compared to approximately $762,000 for the 3 months ended September 30, 2023 and was primarily driven by timing of fixed price milestone contracts and increased satellite related revenue contracts as compared to prior year. Revenue from related parties decreased by 50% to approximately $112,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from approximately $223,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This was influenced by the timing of fixed-price milestone contracts and a reduction in the number of contracts our related party secured with its customers, leading to decreased outsourcing of work to us.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

The increase in cost of revenue of 69% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to approximately $1.8 million as compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, included approximately $57,500 and approximately $192,000, respectively, of related party costs of revenue. The overall increase in cost of revenue was driven by a mix of contracts of varying types and increased depreciation expense in our satellite related business. As a manufacturing entity, materials and other direct costs are a percentage of revenue. The percent change in the cost of revenue was lower than the percent increase in revenue due to a mix of contracts of varying types and increased revenue from our higher margin satellite related business, offset by increased depreciation expense related to our satellite side of the business.

Gross Profit (Loss)

 

The 140% increase in our gross profit to a gross profit of approximately $38,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a gross loss of $96,281 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to a mix of contracts of varying types and increased sales in our higher margin satellite related business, offset by increased depreciation expense related to our satellite side of the business.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses of approximately $3.2 million were down $568,391 when compared with approximately $3.8 million for the same period in 2023, and was primarily due to the following:

 

  A decrease of approximately $600,000 in 2024 professional fees expense primarily as a result of higher professional services costs incurred in 2023 related to legal fees associated with our business acquisition and expense associated with the termination of an agreement related to investment banking services as well as 2024 reduction in use of outside legal firms and increased use of internal resources.
     
  A decrease of approximately $130,000 in payroll and related expenses primarily as a result of labor hours directly related to building the satellite fixed asset reclassed from selling, general and administrative expense to fixed asset.
     
  A decrease of approximately $105,000 in D&O insurance expense to approximately $143,000 compared to $248,000 in 2023, due to a reduction in insurance rates.
     
  A decrease of approximately $90,000 in marketing and investor relations expense as a result of reduction in use of outside agencies and increased use of internal resources.

 

These decreases were partially offset by the following increases:

 

  An increase of approximately $43,000 related primarily to Board related cash and stock compensation as we continue to expand and build our Board of Directors.
     
  An increase of approximately $140,000 in monthly consulting outside services costs driven by the growth and needs of our business and internal systems.
     
  An increase in Mission Operations Support expense of approximately $63,000 related to ground support required for tracking and communicating with our first satellite launched in March 2024.

Revenue

 

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased approximately $773,000 versus total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This is primarily a result of a change in the mix of contracts of varying types. Manufacturing non-related party revenue decreased 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to approximately $3.8 million as compared to approximately $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and was primarily driven by the timing of fixed price milestone contracts and lower satellite related revenue. Manufacturing revenue from related parties decreased approximately 47% to $409,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $766,985 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and was influenced by the timing of fixed-price milestone contracts and a reduction in the number of contracts our related party secured with its customers, leading to decreased outsourcing of work to us.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

The 38% increase in cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to approximately $4.6 million as compared to approximately $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a mix of contracts, a decrease in our higher margin satellite related business as well as increased depreciation expense in our satellite related business. Cost of revenue from related parties for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 versus prior year, included approximately $272,000 and approximately $579,000, respectively.

 

Gross Profit (Loss)

 

The decrease in our gross profit of approximately $2.0 million to a gross loss of approximately $719,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a gross profit of approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to a mix of contracts, lower sales from our satellite related business and increased depreciation expense related to our satellite side of the business.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses of approximately $9.9 million were down approximately $1.25 million when compared with approximately $10.9 million for the same period in 2023, and was primarily due to the following:

 

  A decrease of approximately $810,000 in professional fees expense primarily as a result of higher professional services costs incurred in 2023 related to legal fees associated with our business acquisition and expense associated with the termination of an agreement related to investment banking services as well as 2024 reduction in use of outside legal firms and increased use of internal resources.
     
  A decrease of approximately $616,000 in payroll and related expenses primarily as a result of labor hours directly related to building the satellite fixed asset were reclassed from selling, general and administrative expense to fixed asset.
     
  A decrease of approximately $317,000 in D&O insurance expense to approximately $428,000 compared to $745,000 in 2023, due to a reduction in insurance rates.
     
  A decrease of approximately $276,000 in marketing and investor relations expense as a result of a reduction in use of outside agencies and increased use of internal resources

 

-31-

 

 

These decreases were partially offset by the following increases:

 

  An increase in Mission Operations Support expense of approximately $531,000 to approximately $604,000 compared to approximately $73,000 in 2023, related to ground support required for tracking and communicating with our first satellite.
     
  An increase of approximately $219,000 in capital raise related costs driven by the growth and needs of our business.
     
  An increase of approximately $184,000 related primarily to Board related cash and stock compensation as we continue to expand and build our Board of Directors.

 

Total other income (expenses)

 

Other income and (expenses) showed a decrease of other expenses of $233,068 to $1,217,841 compared to $1,450,909 in 2023 primarily due to a change in accounting treatment of financing related costs included in other expense in 2023 to 2024 being included in the costs required to raise capital which are included in additional paid in capital on the balance sheet, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to our note payable and asset-based loan facility in 2024.

 

NON-GAAP MEASURES

 

To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA. We use adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic decisions regarding future direction of the company since it provides a meaningful comparison to our peers using similar measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (as determined by U.S. GAAP) adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition deal costs, severance costs, capital market and advisory fees, equity-based compensation and warrant costs. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures made by other companies since not all companies will use the same measures. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis.

 

The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net loss (the most comparable GAAP measure) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

 

We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:

 

  Revenue Recognition
     
  Inventory
     
  Credit losses
     
  Lease Accounting
     
  Stock Option and Warrant Valuation

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We adopted ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition approach. The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for exchange of those goods or services. Our updated accounting policies and related disclosures are set forth below, including the disclosure for disaggregated revenue. The impact of adopting ASC 606 was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

-35-

 

 

Our revenue is recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contracts with our customers that we believe are legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when we satisfy each performance obligation.

 

These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

 

Revenues from fixed price manufacturing related contracts that are still in progress at month end are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenue from fixed price contracts and time-and-materials contracts that are completed in the month the work was started are recognized when the work is shipped.

 

Revenues from fixed price contracts primarily related to satellite payloads that require milestone payments are recognized at the time of the milestone being met. This method is used because management considers that the payments are nonrefundable unless the entity fails to perform as promised. If the customer terminates the contract, we are entitled only to retain any progress payments received from the customer and we have no further rights to compensation from the customer. Even though the payments made by the customer are nonrefundable, the cumulative amount of those payments is not expected, at all times throughout the contract, to at least correspond to the amount that would be necessary to compensate us for performance completed to date. Accordingly, we account for the progress under the contract as a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of work in progress and finished goods and consists of estimated revenue calculated on a percentage of completion based on direct labor and materials in relation to the total contract value. We do not maintain raw materials.

 

Credit Losses

 

The provision for expected credit losses on trade receivables is estimated based on historical information, customer solvency and changes in customer payment terms and practices. The Company calibrates its provision matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. The amount of expected credit losses is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Company’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of the customer’s actual default in the future. The company utilizes the Allowance Method based on the accounts receivable aging in order to accrue bad debt expense.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases in the balance sheet. Additionally, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements, which, among other things, provides an additional transition method that would allow entities to not apply the guidance in ASU 2016-02 in the comparative periods presented in the financial statements and instead recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our statement of operations.

Stock Option and Warrant Valuation

 

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value all options and Class A common stock warrants. Estimating the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the application of significant assumptions, such as the fair value of our Class A common stock, the estimated term of the options, risk-free interest rates, the expected volatility of the price of our Class A common stock, and an expected dividend yield. Each of these assumptions is subjective, requires significant judgment, and is based upon management’s best estimates. If any of these assumptions were to change significantly in the future, equity-based compensation related to future awards may differ significantly, as compared with awards previously granted.

 

JOBS Act

 

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

 

We have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of our initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

None.

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

 

None.

 

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none of the Company’s directors or officers adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

Summary of Signification Accounting Policies

Note 2. Summary of Signification Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and GAAP in the United States of America. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed on October 11, 2024.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has reclassified operating expenses to selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the variable interest entity (“VIE”), Aurea Alas Limited (“Aurea”), of which we are the primary beneficiary. Aurea is a Limited company organized in the Isle of Man, which entered into a license agreement with a third party vendor, whereby they licensed the rights to use certain available radio frequency spectrum for satellite communications. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

 

For entities determined to be VIEs, an evaluation is required to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity specifically determining if the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (“the power”) and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“the benefits”). When making the determination on whether the benefits received from an entity are significant, the Company considers the total economics of the entity and analyzes whether the Company’s share of the economics is significant. The Company utilizes qualitative factors, and, where applicable, quantitative factors, while performing the analysis.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. Examples of estimates and assumptions include: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,, the fair value of and/or potential impairment of property and equipment; product life cycles; useful lives of our property and equipment; allowances for doubtful accounts; the market value of, and demand for, our inventory; fair value calculation of warrant; and the potential outcome of uncertain tax positions that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of September 30, 2024, was approximately $0.9 million. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. The Company has also mitigated some of the risk through the use of a premium savings account. This account is used for amounts that are over a set balance maintained in the Company’s general operating account. Balances in the premium savings account are insured up to $150 million.

 

Bad Debt and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Historically the Company has been able to collect all past due amounts and has not written off past due invoices, therefore there is limited historical data on the company’s historical losses or expected losses at this time. In compliance with GAAP the Company has determined the following policy will be followed regarding outstanding customer invoices.

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established to reflect the anticipated uncollectible value of the related receivable account. Review procedures have been established to provide a realistic reserve based on past collection experience and anticipated losses on the receivables.

 

The company will utilize the allowance method based on accounts receivable aging in order to accrue bad debt expense and the contra balance sheet account, allowance for doubtful accounts. The accounts receivable aging will be reviewed quarterly and necessary adjustments made to the allowance for doubtful accounts account balance. The Company will review their policy annually to determine if adjustments should be made based on more recent accounts receivable trends.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any bad debt.

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
     
  Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
     
  Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition approach. The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for exchange of those goods or services. The Company’s updated accounting policies and related disclosures are set forth below, including the disclosure for disaggregated revenue. The impact of adopting ASC 606 was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Revenue from the Company is recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

 

Revenues from fixed price manufacturing related contracts that are still in progress at month end are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenue from fixed price contracts and time-and-materials contracts that are completed in the month the work was started are recognized when the work is shipped. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenues from fixed price service contracts that contain provisions for milestone payments primarily related to satellite payload related contracts are recognized at the time of the milestone being met and payment received. This method is used because management considers that the payments are nonrefundable unless the entity fails to perform as promised. If the customer terminates the contract, the Company is entitled only to retain any progress payments received from the customer and the Company has no further rights to compensation from the customer. Even though the payments made by the customer are nonrefundable, the cumulative amount of those payments is not expected, at all times throughout the contract, to at least correspond to the amount that would be necessary to compensate the Company for performance completed to date. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the progress under the contract as a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.

 

Share-based payments are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service.

 

The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The share price as of the grant date was determined by current market prices for our common stock. Expected volatility is based on the historical stock price volatility of comparable companies’ common stock, as our stock does not have sufficient historical trading activity. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Variable Interest Entity

Note 3. Variable Interest Entity

 

The consolidated financial statements include Aurea Alas Limited, which is a variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary, and on August 26, 2020, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Aurea. Aurea is a Limited company organized in the Isle of Man, which entered into a license agreement with a third-party vendor, whereby they licensed the rights to use certain available radio frequency spectrum for satellite communications. The Company is responsible for 100% of the operations of Aurea and derives 100% of the net profits or losses derived from the business operations. The assets, liabilities and the operations of Aurea from the date of inception (July 20, 2020), were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Through a declaration of trust, 100% of the voting rights of Aurea’s shareholders have been transferred to the Company so that the Company has effective control over Aurea and has the power to direct the activities of Aurea that most significantly impact its economic performance. There are no restrictions on the consolidated VIE’s assets and on the settlement of its liabilities and all carrying amounts of VIE’s assets and liabilities are consolidated with the Company’s financial statements.

 

If facts and circumstances change such that the conclusion to consolidate the VIE has changed, the Company shall disclose the primary factors that caused the change and the effect on the Company’s financial statements in the periods when the change occurs.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Aurea’s assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2024   2023

Decathlon Note

 

On December 3, 2021, we entered into a Loan Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or Loan Assignment, with Decathlon Alpha IV, L.P., or Decathlon and Craig Technical Consulting, Inc (“CTC”) pursuant to which we assumed the Decathlon Note. In connection with our assumption of the Decathlon Note, CTC reduced the principal of the Note Payable – related party by $1.4 million for an aggregate principal balance of $2.6 million. The Company recorded a reclassification of $1,106,164 from Note Payable – related party to Note payable – non- current (Decathlon note) and recorded forgiveness of note payable – related party of $293,836. (See Note 12)

 

Management believes that the assumption of the Decathlon Note from CTC is in our best interests because in connection therewith, Decathlon released us from a cross-collateralization agreement it was a party to with CTC for a loan of a greater amount. Also in connection with the Loan Assignment on December 3, 2021, we entered into a Revenue Loan and Security Agreement, or RLSA, with Decathlon and our CEO, Carol Craig, pursuant to which we pay interest based on a minimum rate of one (1) times the amount advanced and make monthly payments based on a percentage of our revenue calculated as an amount equal to the product of (i) all revenue for the immediately preceding month multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Revenue Percentage, defined as 4% of revenue for payments due during any month. The Decathlon Note was amended November 16,2023. The maturity date was extended from December 9, 2023 to December 9, 2024 and the monthly interest was converted to a fixed amount of $50,000 per month. The Decathlon Note is secured by our assets and is guaranteed by CTC and matures the earliest of: (i) December 9, 2024, (ii) immediately prior to a change of control, or (iii) upon an acceleration of the obligations due to a default under the RLSA. As a result, on December 31, 2021, the Company recorded the forgiveness of note payable-related party of $293,836 and the reclass of $1,106,164 from Note Payable – related party to Note Payable.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of $968,864 and $561,476, respectively, which included an additional accrual estimate based on the principal and accrued but unpaid interest payment due when the note matures, and made payments of $150,000 and $223,995, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded principal amount and accrued interest of $2,836,150 and $2,017,286 on the balance sheet, respectively. At maturity the Company will be required to pay approximately $2.9 million representing the Decathlon Note and accrued but unpaid interest.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and GAAP in the United States of America. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed on October 11, 2024.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has reclassified operating expenses to selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the variable interest entity (“VIE”), Aurea Alas Limited (“Aurea”), of which we are the primary beneficiary. Aurea is a Limited company organized in the Isle of Man, which entered into a license agreement with a third party vendor, whereby they licensed the rights to use certain available radio frequency spectrum for satellite communications. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

 

For entities determined to be VIEs, an evaluation is required to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity specifically determining if the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (“the power”) and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“the benefits”). When making the determination on whether the benefits received from an entity are significant, the Company considers the total economics of the entity and analyzes whether the Company’s share of the economics is significant. The Company utilizes qualitative factors, and, where applicable, quantitative factors, while performing the analysis.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. Examples of estimates and assumptions include: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,, the fair value of and/or potential impairment of property and equipment; product life cycles; useful lives of our property and equipment; allowances for doubtful accounts; the market value of, and demand for, our inventory; fair value calculation of warrant; and the potential outcome of uncertain tax positions that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of September 30, 2024, was approximately $0.9 million. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. The Company has also mitigated some of the risk through the use of a premium savings account. This account is used for amounts that are over a set balance maintained in the Company’s general operating account. Balances in the premium savings account are insured up to $150 million.

 

Bad Debt and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Bad Debt and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Historically the Company has been able to collect all past due amounts and has not written off past due invoices, therefore there is limited historical data on the company’s historical losses or expected losses at this time. In compliance with GAAP the Company has determined the following policy will be followed regarding outstanding customer invoices.

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established to reflect the anticipated uncollectible value of the related receivable account. Review procedures have been established to provide a realistic reserve based on past collection experience and anticipated losses on the receivables.

 

The company will utilize the allowance method based on accounts receivable aging in order to accrue bad debt expense and the contra balance sheet account, allowance for doubtful accounts. The accounts receivable aging will be reviewed quarterly and necessary adjustments made to the allowance for doubtful accounts account balance. The Company will review their policy annually to determine if adjustments should be made based on more recent accounts receivable trends.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any bad debt.

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
     
  Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
     
  Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition approach. The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for exchange of those goods or services. The Company’s updated accounting policies and related disclosures are set forth below, including the disclosure for disaggregated revenue. The impact of adopting ASC 606 was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Revenue from the Company is recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

 

Revenues from fixed price manufacturing related contracts that are still in progress at month end are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenue from fixed price contracts and time-and-materials contracts that are completed in the month the work was started are recognized when the work is shipped. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenues from fixed price service contracts that contain provisions for milestone payments primarily related to satellite payload related contracts are recognized at the time of the milestone being met and payment received. This method is used because management considers that the payments are nonrefundable unless the entity fails to perform as promised. If the customer terminates the contract, the Company is entitled only to retain any progress payments received from the customer and the Company has no further rights to compensation from the customer. Even though the payments made by the customer are nonrefundable, the cumulative amount of those payments is not expected, at all times throughout the contract, to at least correspond to the amount that would be necessary to compensate the Company for performance completed to date. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the progress under the contract as a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

 

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.

 

Share-based payments are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service.

 

The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The share price as of the grant date was determined by current market prices for our common stock. Expected volatility is based on the historical stock price volatility of comparable companies’ common stock, as our stock does not have sufficient historical trading activity. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

 

Warrants

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.
