1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of the Business

 

On January 25, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Satellogic Inc. (“Satellogic” or the “Company”), a business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), as a company limited by shares, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 5, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, CF Acquisition Corp. V, a Delaware corporation (“CF V” and now known as “Satellogic V Inc.”), Ganymede Merger Sub 1 Inc., a BVI business company incorporated in the BVI as a company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Ganymede Merger Sub 2 Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Nettar Group Inc. (d/b/a Satellogic), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the BVI (“Nettar”).

 

Nettar was, prior to the transaction, the holding company of the Satellogic group and was incorporated on October 7, 2014 under the laws of the BVI as a company limited by shares. The registered office of Satellogic is located at Kingston Chambers BOX 173 C/O Maples Corporate Services BVI LTD Road Town, Tortola D8 VG1110.

 

References to “Nettar” contained herein refer to Nettar Group Inc. prior to the mergers, and references to “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or “Satellogic” refer to Satellogic Inc. prior to the mergers and to the combined company following the mergers.

 

Through our subsidiaries, we invest in the software, hardware, and optics of the aerospace industry focusing on satellite and image analytics technologies. Our strategy is to build a planetary scale analytics platform based on a proprietary satellite constellation with the capability to generate insights from images and information, with focus on multi-temporal analysis and high frequency of revisits. We also intend to leverage our ability to quickly build and launch high quality, sub-meter satellites at a low cost by selling satellites to certain key customers.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company conducts business through one operating segment.

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars (hereinafter “U.S. dollars” or “$”).

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging grown company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised that has different application dates for public or private companies, we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time required for private companies to adopt such standard. The foregoing may make comparison of our financial statements with those of another public company difficult or impossible if such other public company is (i) not an emerging growth company or (ii) is an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, due to the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Going Concern and Liquidity

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation one year after the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, and we will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

Pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued.

 

We have evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months through September 2024. Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and have an accumulated deficit of $270.3 million, with net cash used in operating activities of $36.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, our existing sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $31.0 million. We believe that this current level of cash and cash equivalents is not sufficient to fund operations and capital expenditures to reach larger scale revenue generation from our product offerings. We may encounter liquidity issues in the second or third quarter of 2024 if we are unable to raise additional funds or generate increased cash from operations in the near term.

 

In order for us to proceed and reach larger scale revenue generation, we will need to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional equity, debt or both. Until such time that we can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to us on the timing needed or on terms that we deem to be favorable. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financial resources, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the needed financing on acceptable terms or at all. In an effort to alleviate these conditions, we continue to seek and evaluate opportunities to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities.

 

As a result of these uncertainties, and notwithstanding our plans and efforts to date, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of when these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when needed, or upon acceptable terms, such failure would have a significant negative impact on our financial condition. As such, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

(d/b/a Satellogic), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the BVI (“Nettar”).

 

Nettar was, prior to the transaction, the holding company of the Satellogic group and was incorporated on October 7, 2014, under the laws of the BVI as a company limited by shares. The registered office of Satellogic is located at Kingston Chambers BOX 173 C/O Maples Corporate Services BVI LTD Road Town, Tortola D8 VG1110.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (“the Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company conducts business through one operating segment.

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees, have been eliminated in consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars (hereinafter “U.S. dollars” or “$”).

 

Historically the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. For the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The change from reporting in IFRS to U.S. GAAP was treated as a change in accounting standard, whereby we retrospectively applied the change to all prior reporting periods contained in these Consolidated Financial Statements. Where the initial adoption of U.S. GAAP resulted in a material change in an asset or liability, the adjustment was reported to the opening balance of accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital as of January 1, 2020. Refer to Note 19 (Adoption of U.S. GAAP) for additional information.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised that has different application dates for public or private companies, we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time required for private companies to adopt such standard. The foregoing may make comparison of our financial statements with those of another public company difficult or impossible if such other public company is (i) not an emerging growth company or (ii) is an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, due to the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Liquidity

 

Since our formation, we have devoted substantial effort and capital resources to the development of our satellite constellation and image technologies. As of December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $222.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had net cash used in operating activities of $68.5 million. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $76.5 million.

 

We anticipate losses and negative operating cash flows to continue, primarily as a result of our satellite constellation expansion as we obtain adequate sources of funding through revenue growth. We believe we will have sufficient funding for at least the next 12 months from the date these Consolidated Financial Statements are issued.

 

Failure to generate revenue growth with sufficient positive cash flows from operations or to raise additional funding in the longer term may require us to alter, or scale back, our capital expenditures and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve its intended business objectives.
