SIDUS SPACE, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 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.
Description of Business
Founded in 2012, we are a growing U.S. commercial space company with an established manufacturing business who has been trusted to provide mission-critical space hardware to many of the top aerospace businesses for over a decade. We plan to offer on-orbit services as the space economy expands; said services are either in a developmental phase or soon to achieve flight heritage. We have strategically decided to expand our business by moving up the satellite value chain by becoming a provider of responsive and scalable on-orbit infrastructure as well as collecting Space and Earth observational data to capture larger market needs.
To address commercial and government customer needs and mission sets, we have focused our business into three core business lines: manufacturing services; space-infrastructure-as-a-service; and space-based data and insights. Our vertically integrated model is complementary across each line of business aiming to expand existing and unlock new potential revenue generating opportunities. Additionally, we look to further transition into a subscription-based model upon the digitization of our manufacturing process as we expand alongside our space-based focus.
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 three months ended March 31, 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 filed on March 27, 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 ended March 31, 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.
| -7- |
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
Periodically,
the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $
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
each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did

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 March 31, 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, is summarized below:
Revenues from fixed price 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 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.
| -9- |
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.
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.

Note 3. Variable Interest Entity
Through a declaration of trust, % 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.

Overview
Founded in 2012, we are a growing U.S. commercial space company with an established manufacturing business who has been trusted to provide mission-critical space hardware to many of the top aerospace businesses for over a decade. We plan to offer on-orbit services as the space economy expands; said services are either in a developmental phase or soon to achieve flight heritage. We have strategically decided to expand our business by moving up the satellite value chain by becoming a provider of responsive and scalable on-orbit infrastructure as well as collecting Space and Earth observational data to capture larger market needs.
To address commercial and government customer needs and mission sets, we have focused our business into three core business lines: manufacturing services; space-infrastructure-as-a-service; and space-based data and insights. Our vertically integrated model is complementary across each line of business aiming to expand existing and unlock new potential revenue generating opportunities.
On March 4, 2024, we successfully launched and deployed our first LizzieSat satellite to low Earth orbit as part of SpaceX’s Transporter-10 Rideshare mission and have received multiple signals from the satellite following its successful launch and deployment. We continue to monitor communications with the satellite from our operations center in Merritt Island, Florida.
Products and Services
● Manufacturing Services: Our manufacturing business is well-established and trusted by industry leaders. Founded in 2012, we have been manufacturing mission-critical and satellite hardware for over a decade for our principal customers and have supported major government and commercial space programs like NASA’s Artemis / Lunar Gateway missions, xEVAS, Boeing’s Starliner, Sierra’s Dream Chaser, Airbus’ OneWeb Satellites and the International Space Station.
Our manufacturing business operates within a 35,000 square foot facility and is adjacent to our clean-room facility. We hold an AS9100 Aerospace certification, and we are International Traffic In Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliant thereby positioning us, in combination with our existing tooling and capability, to address unique high-precision manufacturing requirements.
● Space-Infrastructure-as-a-Service: We are in the process of developing and launching space-based infrastructure and establishing related ground-infrastructure support elements. Payload providers are our principal customers and target customers who wish to outsource constellation operations. Collectively, the end-to-end infrastructure that results is offered as “Space-as-a-Service” to commercial customers and “Defense-as-a-Service” to certain government customers.
Leveraging our industry experience and flight heritage, we are producing our own line of additively manufactured (3D printed) satellites in-house (LizzieSats) that are engineered to have the capacity and adaptability to simultaneously host our payloads for our own purposes (see Space-Data-as-a-Service below) or offer ‘ride-share’ opportunities for payload customers to deliver data to their end users. We anticipate “bookings” on our infrastructure in our planned ‘rideshare program’ as a key performance metric.
| -21- |
Our Space-Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering plans to provide: satellite design, satellite manufacture, constellation operations, and payload hosting.
As of March 31, 2024, we have:
● successfully launched and deployed our first satellite into Low Earth Orbit (LEO);
● established communications between our mission operations center and our satellite.
As of December 31, 2023, we have:
● signed a multi-year and multi-launch agreement with Space-X thereby offering customers by extension a reliable, cost-effective launch service;
● integrated Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) software into LizzieSat satellite providing the Company the ability to offer on-orbit tailored solutions to customers enabling geospatial data to be processed more effectively;
● obtained approval for a 100+ satellite constellation by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU);
● established partnerships with a globally diverse network of 20+ ground stations to provide our users with near continuous high-rate, “on-orbit to cloud”, communications network;
● secured a mission operations center located on the Florida Space Coast, in Merritt Island, FL capable to manage satellite operations, orchestrate collection management tasks and satisfy data distribution requests with intentions to automate many elements of this process.
Over time, we plan to begin introducing additional services beyond on-orbit infrastructure services which may include lunar mapping missions, in support of government requirements for on-orbit maneuverability. Each business opportunity is evaluated on an individual business case basis and safeguarded against risk to our core business.
● Space Data-as-a-Service and Insights: We plan to be a global provider of space-based data and insights by exclusively collecting data that only can be captured from space with no 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.
To date, the space-based data industry has largely launched one-satellite, one-payload, one-mission constellations to deliver one general data type. Subsequently, downstream processing and associated analytics, at times, have experienced false-positives and ambiguous data sets diminishing the value and utility of space-based data.
Our LizzieSat satellite has been designed to address these shortcomings by allowing for 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: In order to maximize value and speed in data processing, we have invested resources into 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 are able to first reduce the file size by transmitting only the processed answer, 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.
| -22- |
The net value of data collected from our planned LizzieSat constellation is expected to allow organizations to make better decisions with higher confidence, 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 are able to improve decision-making and mitigate risk.
We support a broad range of international and domestic governments and commercial companies with hardware manufacturing including the Netherlands Organization, U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA, Collins Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, Teledyne Marine, Bechtel, 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 AIS, Aviation ADS, 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 (“LEO”) 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 analytics offerings in order to increase the value we deliver to our customers. Our two operating assets—our satellite constellation and hardware manufacturing capability—are mutually reinforcing and are a result of years of heritage 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.
Growing 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 to two and a half shifts with an increased customer base in the future. With current customers in 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.
Commencing and 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 data verticalization strategy specializing on a key sectors or 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. Following the successful completion of LizzieSat Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews in 2022, we began LizzieSat integration and testing in Q1 2023. We completed critical command and data system testing which validated the proper functioning of the communications and data transfer paths between a LizzieSat satellite in space and the Konsberg Satellite Services, Atlas Space Operations and Leaf Space ground stations, a requirement for mission success of the LizzieSat™ constellation. In Q4 2023, we completed the required environmental testing for launch ono the SpaceX Falcon 9 and successfully launched and deployed our first satellite in March 2024.
| -23- |
In Q1 2023 we signed an agreement with SkyWatch Space Applications, Inc. for use of its TerraStream data-management platform. This agreement is expected to accelerate the expansion of Sidus’ commercial data distribution strategy, which includes white labeling data for the Company’s existing customers as well as driving growth of new data customers. The agreement is expected to generate additional revenue for the Company and engage customers that otherwise may not have connected with Sidus. In Q3 2023 we announced the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Exo-Space in order to integrate EdgeAI capabilities into our planned constellation with ExoSpace’s FeatherEdge AI platform which will enable 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 into Sidus’s satellites will enable more accurate vessel tracking and monitoring 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 4, 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 approved the LizzieSat-1 launch and operating license for launch and deploy on a SpaceX Falcon 9 mission called Transporter 10 to include approval for orbital operations utilizing the previously approved ITU S-band and X-band frequencies and ground station coverage. We have also filed an FCC Part 25 license request for the LizzieSat satellite constellation missions one through six. The FCC Part 25 license request has gone through the mandatory review period and is pending approval. 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 LizzieSat 1-3, a private remote-sensing space system comprised of three satellites (LizzieSat #1 through LizzieSat #3 or LS-1 through LS-3) in 2024. The imagery from Near Infared (NIR) and Short Wave Infarred (SWIR) imagers will be integrated into our FeatherBox AI onboard processor and combined with Automated Information Systems (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 due to 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.
Our Vertically Integrated Space Infrastructure
We are designing, developing, manufacturing, and planning to operate 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 more functional than cubesats and nanosatellites and less expensive to manufacture than the larger satellites in the 200-600kg range. Launched into a LEO and operating in diverse orbits (28°-98° inclination, 300-650km altitude) as approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in April 2021, our constellation is being designed to be optimally distributed to provide maximum coverage for our customers in the government and commercial sectors. With six initial globally distributed ground stations, our constellation is being designed for rapid tasking, collection, and delivery of high-revisit, high-resolution imagery and data analytics. As our satellite constellation grows, the amount of data we collect will scale, and we expect our revisit rate will improve.
Our cost-efficient smallsats are designed from the ground-up to optimize performance per unit cost. We can integrate technologies and deliver data on demand at lower costs than legacy providers due to our vertical integration, use of Customer Off the Shelf (COTS) proven systems, cost-efficiencies, capital efficient constellation design, and adaptable pricing models.
| -24- |
We design and manufacture our satellites at our Cape Canaveral facility. Our current configuration and facility is designed to manufacture 5-10 satellites a 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 are able to 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 Space and Defense-as-a-Service offerings encompass all aspects of hosted satellite and constellation services, including hosting customer payloads onto our satellites, and delivering 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. 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 are able 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 gear and others on a single platform that can simultaneously address the needs of many customer requirements.
Lowering Manufacturing Cost and Schedule
We are developing 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 Customer Off the Shelf (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 ten 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 decreased by 56% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to approximately $845,000 as compared to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and was primarily driven by timing of fixed price milestone contracts and fewer satellite related revenue contracts than prior year. Revenue from related parties decreased by 41% to approximately $205,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $348,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This was driven by the timing of fixed price milestone contracts and fewer contracts our related party entered into with its customers, requiring less outsourcing of its work to us.
Cost of Revenue
The decrease in cost of revenue of 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to approximately $966,000 as compared to approximately $1.36 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, included approximately $167,000 and approximately $297,000, respectively, of related party costs of revenue. The overall decrease in cost of revenue was driven by lower sales offset by mix of contracts and lower sales of our higher margin 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 decrease in revenue due to mix of contracts and continued supply chain impacts.
Gross Profit (Loss)
The decrease in our gross profit of approximately $800,000 to a gross profit of approximately $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a gross profit of approximately $896,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily attributable to mix of contracts, lower sales from our satellite related business and higher supply chain related costs.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses remained materially consistent when compared with the same period in 2023, a slight approximately $100,000 increase year over year was primarily due to the following:
| ● | An increase of approximately $377,000 in fundraising expense to approximately $412,000 compared to $35,000 in 2023. This was largely driven by two capital raises in Q1 2024. | |
| ● | An increase of approximately $267,000 in Mission Operations Support expense to approximately $267,000 compared to $0 in 2023, related to ground support required for tracking and communicating with first satellite. |
These increases were partially offset by the following decreases:
| ● | 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 $150,000 in marketing and investor relations expense as a result of reduction in use of outside agencies and increased use of internal resources. | |
| ● | A decrease of approximately $210,000 in payroll and related expenses primarily as a result of labor hours directly related to building the satellite fixed asset were moved from selling, general and administrative expense to fixed asset. | |
| ● | A decrease of approximately $40,000 in professional fees expense primarily a result of reduction in use of outside legal firms and increased use of internal resources. |
Total other income (expenses)
Other income and (expenses) showed a decrease of other expenses of $545,708 to $248,981 compared to $794,689 in 2023 primarily due to a change in accounting treatment of financing related costs included in other expense in 2023 to being included in the costs required to raise capital which are included in additional paid in capital on the balance sheet.
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.

We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $46.6 million and working capital of approximately $5.1 million as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $6.2 million of cash.
As of March 31, 2024 the working capital surplus is due to funds raised through equity sales in relation to our February 2024 capital raise. As of December 31, 2023, the working capital deficiency is primarily due to our build out of our LizzieSat satellite in anticipation of our Q1 2024 launch.
Current assets increased by approximately $4.1 million to approximately $13.35 million as of March 31, 2024 from approximately $9.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in cash, slightly offset by decrease in accounts receivable and prepaids.
| -28- |
Current liabilities decreased by approximately $4.0 million to approximately $8.2 million as of March 31, 2024 from approximately $12.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities and our asset-based loan liability.

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.
| -30- |
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 our revenue category, is summarized below:
| ● | 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. |
Revenues from fixed price 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 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 are estimated based on historical information, customer solvency and changes in customer payment terms and practices. The Company will calibrate 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 will utilize 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 the completion of this 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.
