BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; however, management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue recognition; property and equipment; inventory; derivative instruments; litigation, claims and contingencies; allowance for doubtful accounts; pension plan; stock-based compensation; intangible assets; and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. In the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globalstar and its majority owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period.

MANAGEMENT'S PLANS REGARDING FUTURE OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT'S PLANS REGARDING FUTURE OPERATIONS

2. MANAGEMENT'S PLANS REGARDING FUTURE OPERATIONS

The Company has generated operating losses and negative operating cash flows in each of the previous three years. The Company’s first-generation satellite constellation has deteriorated over time resulting in substantially reduced ability to provide reliable two-way voice and data communication service (“Duplex”), and accordingly, the Company’s operations have been adversely affected. Based on currently available cash and financing commitments, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its existing contractual obligations and funding requirements over the next twelve months and, therefore, must obtain additional financing. The Company has developed a plan to improve operations, complete the launch of 24 second-generation satellites, obtain financing for certain contractual commitments and obtain the required licensing to operate the second-generation satellites as described below.

Improved Operations

Management has several initiatives underway to increase revenues and reduce operating costs of the business, which include: (1) marketing its Duplex products and services so that it increases revenue by increasing both average revenue per user (“ARPU”) and the number of Duplex subscribers which is dependent upon successfully completing the launches of the remaining second-generation satellites and securing the appropriate licensing; (2) introducing, marketing, and selling new products (including the Company’s Duplex, SPOT, and Simplex products targeted to the consumer and enterprise markets respectively) to expand the Company’s subscriber base and increase revenues; (3) restructuring operations by reducing costs in underperforming markets and consolidating resources around the world to operate its network more efficiently; and (4) relocating its corporate headquarters, product development center, customer care operations, call center and other global business functions including finance, accounting, sales, marketing and corporate communications to one location to reduce costs.

Completion of the Launch of 24 Second-Generation Satellites

The Company has launched twelve of the 24 second-generation satellites (six satellites were launched in both July 2011 and October 2010), and plans to complete the two remaining launches of six satellites each before the end of 2011 (See Note 3.) The Company has designed its second-generation satellites to support its current lineup of Duplex, SPOT, and Simplex products and services.

The Company plans to fund the remaining balance of the capital expenditures for its 24 second-generation satellites through the use of the remaining funds available under the Facility Agreement, cash on hand (which includes recently obtained financing), cash flows from operations (if any), other additional financing not yet arranged, and the funds available under the contingent equity agreement. The Company may direct the transfer of funds from its contingent equity account to operating accounts only if no default has occurred and is continuing under the Facility Agreement; however, the administrative agent of the Facility Agreement may, but is not obligated to, transfer contingent equity funds to the Company’s operating accounts in a default situation.

Additional Second-Generation Satellites and Next Generation Ground Upgrades

The Company has focused on constructing, developing, and ultimately activating the next generation constellation, ground stations and equipment. As a result, as of June 30, 2011, the Company is committed to several significant contracts for the construction, development and deployment of these assets.

The Company intends to seek financing to fund its commitments under these contracts. Although the Company has been successful in raising capital thus far, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in acquiring such financing. The Company continues to seek to amend and restructure these contracts to provide the Company with additional options to defer capital outlays until it can obtain additional capital.

In March 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Hughes which extended to July 31, 2011 the deadline for the Company to make certain scheduled payments previously due prior to July 31, 2011. The deferred payments incurred interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Neither the Company nor Hughes terminated the contract by July 31, 2011. Although the Company did not make the required payments, the Company is currently in negotiations with Hughes to modify the contract payment terms, but it cannot provide any assurance that this will be achieved. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had recorded $18.8 million in accounts payable related to these required payments and had incurred and capitalized $63.5 million of costs related to this contract, which is recorded as an asset in property and equipment. If the Company is unable to modify successfully the contract payment terms, it may be required to record an impairment charge.

In March 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Oceus which extended to February 23, 2012 (or earlier if the Company obtains additional financing) the deadline for the Company to make scheduled milestone payments which were previously due at various times during 2011. The milestone payments that have been or are expected to be invoiced in 2011, which may be deferred to February 23, 2012, total $6.2 million. The deferred payments will incur interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum.

Although the Company has a contract with Thales Alenia Space (“Thales”) to construct additional satellites at fixed pricing, the Company is currently in arbitration with Thales to define a new quantity of satellites with associated terms and conditions, including adjustments to price and schedule, if any. (See Note 12.)

Required Licensing

On March 18, 2011, the International Bureau of the FCC adopted and released an order that modified licenses held by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that, among other things, will allow the Company to transmit signals from its second-generation satellites to ground stations and mobile earth terminals in the United States, effective upon registration by France under the Outer Space Treaty and the UN Convention on Registration of Objects launched into Outer Space. The Company has filed the required regulatory application to register the second-generation satellites in France. Subsequent to filing the required regulatory application, the Company filed additional technical information requested by the French regulators. The Company has continued to work closely with the French agencies to facilitate the registration of these satellites as required by the FCC’s order and the Company’s Facility Agreement.

As a result, the Company’s modified licenses granted by the FCC do not permit the Company to use its second-generation satellites to service call traffic in the United States. By not being able to service call traffic in the United States, the Company is unable to service call traffic in other parts of North America due to the overlapping coverage. This does not affect the Company’s ability to provide service, including SPOT and Simplex services, with its first-generation satellites, and it has obtained the authority to operate its second-generation satellites outside of the United States from the French regulatory authorities. If there is a delay in obtaining the necessary registration from France, efforts to increase Duplex ARPU and subscriber base could also be delayed.

Additionally, Amendment No. 6 to the Facility Agreement requires that the conditional permanent U.S. license received by the Company be in full force and effect by no later than August 31, 2011. The amendment also provides that any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of Amendment No. 6 will constitute an event of default under the Facility Agreement. The Company anticipates a final decision by the French agencies on or before September 25, 2011, however, the Company can provide no assurance that the conditional permanent U.S. license will be in full force and effect by August 31, 2011.

Additional Financing

In June 2011, the Company obtained gross proceeds of $38 million through the sale of its 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes. The Note purchasers have the right to purchase up to $12 million of additional Notes until September 15, 2011. The Company will use the proceeds associated with this financing for the Company’s capital expenditure and operating needs, including procuring and deploying its second-generation constellation.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has incurred $926.5 million of costs under these contracts. Of the amounts incurred, the Company has capitalized $921.0 million and expensed $5.5 million. The Company paid $9.2 million for launch insurance covering the second launch of six second-generation satellites, which was recorded as a prepaid asset as of June 30, 2011.

Second-Generation Satellites

The Company and Thales have entered into a contract for the construction of its second-generation low-earth orbit satellites and related services. The Company has launched the first 12 of these second-generation satellites (six satellites were launched in July 2011 and October 2010), and plans to complete two remaining launches of six satellites each before the end of 2011.

As previously announced, one of the six second-generation satellites launched in October 2010 has experienced an in-orbit anomaly associated with its momentum wheels. The momentum wheels permit control of the satellites’ attitude. In July 2011, the spare wheel that had allowed the satellite to remain in service also experienced an anomaly, which then required the Company to place the satellite into a “safe hold” mode. In this mode the satellite remains stable in its operational orbit while a potential solution, involving a firmware update, is developed. The satellite is not currently providing communication services. The Company is working with Thales to develop a solution that will allow the satellite to be placed back into service. At this time, the Company can provide no assurance that a satisfactory solution will be developed.

One additional second-generation satellite launched in October 2010 has experienced a similar anomaly, but is currently providing full services.

As of June 30, 2011, the undepreciated cost of each of these satellites is approximately $41.7 million. If the Company is unable to develop and implement a solution to resolve these anomalies so that the satellite can be taken out of safe hold mode and placed back into service, it would record an impairment charge for the satellite that is no longer capable of providing communication services.

The Company also has a contract with Thales to construct additional second-generation satellites at a fixed price. The Company is currently in arbitration with Thales to define a new quantity of satellites with associated terms and conditions, including adjustments to price and schedule, if any. (See Note 12.)

The Company and Arianespace (the “Launch Provider”) have entered into a contract for the launch of the Company’s second-generation satellites and certain pre and post-launch services under which the Launch Provider agreed to make four launches of six satellites each and one optional launch of six satellites. Notwithstanding the one optional launch, the Company may contract separately with the Launch Provider or another provider of launch services after the Launch Provider’s firm launch commitments are fulfilled.

Next-Generation Gateways and Other Ground Facilities

The Company and Hughes Network Systems, LLC (“Hughes”) entered into an agreement under which Hughes will design, supply and implement (a) the Radio Access Network (RAN) ground network equipment and software upgrades for installation at a number of the Company’s satellite gateway ground stations and (b) satellite interface chips to be a part of the User Terminal Subsystem (UTS) in various next-generation Globalstar devices. The Company has the option to purchase additional RANs and other software and hardware improvements at pre-negotiated prices. The Company is currently in negotiations with Hughes to modify the contract payment terms. (See Note 2.)

The Company entered into an agreement with Oceus Networks (formerly known as Ericsson Federal Inc.) to develop, implement and maintain a ground interface, or core network, system at the Company’s satellite gateway ground stations. In March 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Oceus which extended to February 23, 2012 the deadline for the Company to make scheduled milestone payments. (See Note 2.)

Facility Agreement

The Company has a $586.3 million senior secured facility agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) that will mature 96 months after the first repayment date. Scheduled semi-annual principal repayments will begin the earlier of eight months after the last launch of 24 second-generation satellites or six months after December 15, 2011. The facility bears interest at a floating LIBOR rate, plus a margin of 2.07% through December 2012, increasing to 2.25% through December 2017 and 2.40% thereafter. Ninety-five percent of the Company’s obligations under the Facility Agreement are guaranteed by COFACE, the French export credit agency. The Company’s obligations under the facility are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of its domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (other than their FCC licenses), including patents and trademarks, 100% of the equity of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Facility Agreement contains customary events of default and requires that the Company satisfy various financial and nonfinancial covenants. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants, however, unless it is able to obtain additional financing and an effective U.S. license (See Note 2), the Company expects to be out of compliance with certain covenants within the next 12 months.

5.00% Convertible Senior Notes

On June 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Third Supplemental Indenture relating to the sale and issuance by the Company to selected investors (including an affiliate of Thermo) in private transactions of up to $50 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.0% Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes (the “5.0% Notes”) and warrants (the “5.0% warrants”) to purchase up to 20 million shares of voting common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The 5.0% Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.25 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in the Indenture. The 5.0% Notes are guaranteed on a subordinated basis by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), on an unconditional joint and several basis, pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”). The 5.0% warrants are exercisable until five years after the issuance. The 5.0% Notes and 5.0% warrants have anti-dilution protection in the event of certain stock splits or extraordinary share distributions, and a reset of the conversion and exercise price on April 15, 2013 if the Company’s common stock is then below the initial conversion and exercise price at that time.

On June 14 and 20, 2011, the Company issued $30 million and $8 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of the 5.0% Notes, the related Guaranty, and 5.0% warrants to purchase 12,000,000 and 3,200,000 shares of common stock, respectively. The securities were sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as a transaction not involving a public offering.

The Company raised gross proceeds of $38 million, before deducting fees and other offering expenses. The Investors have a right to purchase up to $12 million of additional 5.0% Notes and a corresponding number of 5.0% warrants by September 15, 2011 on the same terms.

The 5.0% Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with the Company’s existing 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 and 8.00% Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes and are subordinated to the Company’s obligations pursuant to its Facility Agreement. There is no sinking fund for the 5.0% Notes. The 5.0% Notes will mature at the earlier to occur of (i) December 14, 2021, or (ii) six months following the maturity date of the Facility Agreement and bear interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable in-kind semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2011. Under certain circumstances, interest on the 5.0% Notes will be payable in cash at the election of the holder if such payments are permitted under the Company’s Facility Agreement.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the 5.0% Notes will be subject to repurchase for cash at the option of the holders of all or any portion of the 5.0% Notes upon a fundamental change at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.0% Notes, plus a make-whole payment and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. A fundamental change will occur upon certain changes in the ownership of the Company or certain events relating to the trading of the common stock.

Holders may convert their 5.0% Notes at their option at any time. Upon conversion of the 5.0% Notes, the Company will pay the holders of the 5.0% Notes a make-whole premium by increasing the number of shares of common stock delivered upon such conversion. The number of additional shares per $1,000 principal amount of 5.0% Notes constituting the make-whole premium shall be equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Securities so converted multiplied by 25.00%, less the aggregate interest paid on such Securities prior to the applicable Conversion Date divided by (ii) 95% of the volume-weighted average Closing Price of the Common Stock for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

The Indenture contains customary financial reporting requirements and also contains restrictions on the issuance of additional indebtedness, liens, loans and investments, dividends and other restricted payments, mergers, asset sales, certain transactions with affiliates and layering of debt. The Indenture also provides that upon certain events of default, including without limitation failure to pay principal or interest, failure to deliver a notice of fundamental change, failure to convert the 5.0% Notes when required, defaults under other material indebtedness and failure to pay material judgments, either the trustee or the holders of 20% in aggregate principal amount of the 5.0% Notes may declare the principal of the 5.0% Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Company or its significant subsidiaries, the principal amount of the 5.0% Notes and accrued interest automatically will become due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the indenture as of June 30, 2011.

The Company evaluated the various embedded derivatives resulting from the conversion rights and features within the Indenture for bifurcation from the 5.0% Notes. Due to the provisions and reset features in the 5.0% warrants, the Company recorded the 5.0% warrants as equity with a corresponding debt discount which is netted against the face value of the 5.0% Notes. The Company is accreting the debt discount associated with the 5.0% warrants to interest expense over the term of the 5.0% warrants using the effective interest rate method. The Company determined the relative fair value of the 5.0% warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation model based upon a risk-neutral stock price model.

The Company evaluated the conversion option within the convertible notes to determine whether the conversion price was beneficial to the note holders. The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of the 5.0% Notes. The BCF for the Notes is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to beneficial conversion feature, based on relative fair value, and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The Company recognizes the discount recorded in connection with the BCF valuation as interest expense over the term of the 5.0% Notes, using the effective interest rate method.

The Company netted the debt discount associated with the 5.0% warrants, the beneficial conversion feature, and the contingent put feature against the face value of the 5.0% Notes to determine the carrying amount of the 5.0% Notes. The accretion of debt discount will increase the carrying amount of the debt over the term of the 5.0% Notes. The Company allocated the proceeds at issuance as follows (in thousands):

Debt	$	11,316
Fair value of 5.0% Warrants		8,081
Beneficial Conversion Feature		17,100
Contingent Put Feature		1,503
Face Value of 5.0% Notes	$	38,000

As of June 30, 2011 there were no conversions and approximately $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% Notes remained outstanding.

8.00% Convertible Senior Notes

In 2009, the Company issued $55.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Notes (the “8.00% Notes”) and Warrants (the “8.00% Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The 8.00% Notes mature at the later of the tenth anniversary of closing (June 19, 2019) or six months following the maturity date of the Facility Agreement and bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum. Interest on the 8.00% Notes is payable in the form of additional 8.00% Notes or, subject to certain restrictions, in common stock at the option of the holder. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 8.00% Notes are subordinated to all of the Company’s obligations under the Facility Agreement. The 8.00% Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured debt obligations and rank pari passu with existing unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, including the Company’s 5.0% and 5.75% Notes. The indenture governing the 8.00% Notes contains customary events of default with which the Company was in compliance as of June 30, 2011.

In April 2011, approximately $0.6 million of 8.00% Warrants were exercised, resulting in the issuance of approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $15.6 million and $14.6 million of the 8.00% Notes had been converted, resulting in the issuance of approximately 14.2 million and 13.4 million shares of common stock, and $46.2 million and $45.5 million in 8.00% Notes remained outstanding, respectively.

5.75% Convertible Senior Notes

In 2008, the Company issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Notes (the “5.75% Notes”), which, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, are subject to repurchase by the Company for cash at the option of the holders in whole or part (i) on each of April 1, 2013, April 1, 2018 and April 1, 2023 or (ii) upon a fundamental change, both at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.75% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Holders may convert their 5.75% Notes into shares of common stock at their option at any time prior to maturity, subject to the Company’s option to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of the share. The indenture governing the 5.75% Notes contains customary events of default with which the Company was in compliance as of June 30, 2011.

The Company placed approximately $25.5 million of the proceeds of the offering of the 5.75% Notes in an escrow account that is being used to make the first six scheduled semi-annual interest payments on the 5.75% Notes. The Company pledged its interest in this escrow account to the Trustee as security for these interest payments. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balance in the escrow account was $0 and $2.1 million, respectively.

Except for the pledge of the escrow account, the 5.75% Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company. The 5.75% Notes mature on April 1, 2028 and bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per annum. Interest on the 5.75% Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $71.8 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Notes remained outstanding.

Share Lending Agreement

Concurrently with the offering of the 5.75% Notes, the Company entered into a share lending agreement (the “Share Lending Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch International (the “Borrower”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to lend up to 36,144,570 shares of common stock (the “Borrowed Shares”) to the Borrower, subject to certain adjustments, for a period ending on the earliest of (i) at the Company’s option, at any time after the entire principal amount of the 5.75% Notes ceases to be outstanding, (ii) the written agreement of the Company and the Borrower to terminate, (iii) the occurrence of a Borrower default, at the option of Lender, and (iv) the occurrence of a Lender default, at the option of the Borrower. Pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, upon the termination of the share loan, the Borrower must return the Borrowed Shares to the Company. Upon the conversion of 5.75% Notes (in whole or in part), a number of Borrowed Shares proportional to the conversion rate for such notes must be returned to the Company. At the Company’s election, the Borrower may deliver cash equal to the market value of the corresponding Borrowed Shares instead of returning to the Company the Borrowed Shares otherwise required by conversions of 5.75% Notes.

Pursuant to and upon the terms of the Share Lending Agreement, the Company will issue and lend the Borrowed Shares to the Borrower as a share loan. The Borrowing Agent also is acting as an underwriter with respect to the Borrowed Shares, which are being offered to the public. The Borrowed Shares included approximately 32.0 million shares of common stock initially loaned by the Company to the Borrower on separate occasions, delivered pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement, and an additional 4.1 million shares of common stock that, from time to time, may be borrowed from the Company by the Borrower pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement and subsequently offered and sold at prevailing market prices at the time of sale or negotiated prices. The Borrowed Shares are free trading shares. At each of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately 17.3 million Borrowed Shares remained outstanding. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the unamortized amount of issuance costs associated with the share lending agreement was $3.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

Subordinated Loan Agreement

The Company has a Loan Agreement with Thermo whereby Thermo loaned the Company $25.0 million for the purpose of funding the debt service reserve account required under the Facility Agreement. The loan accrues interest at 12% per annum, which is capitalized and added to the outstanding principal in lieu of cash payments.

In April 2011, in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement, $7.6 million was funded to the Debt Service Reserve account. This amount was recorded in restricted cash as of June 30, 2011.

The Company will make payments to Thermo only when permitted under the Facility Agreement. The loan becomes due and payable on the earliest of six months after the obligations under the Facility Agreement have been paid in full, a change in control of the Company or any acceleration of the maturity of the loans under the Facility Agreement occurs. As additional consideration for the loan, the Company issued Thermo a warrant to purchase 4,205,608 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share with a five-year exercise period. No voting common stock is issuable upon such exercise if such issuance would cause Thermo and its affiliates to own more than 70% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock. This loan is subordinated to, and the debt service reserve account is pledged to secure, all of the Company’s obligations under the Facility Agreement.

Contingent Equity Agreement

The Company has a contingent equity agreement with Thermo whereby Thermo deposited $60.0 million into a contingent equity account to fulfill a condition precedent for borrowing under the Facility Agreement. Under the terms of the Facility Agreement, the Company will be required to make drawings from this account if and to the extent it has an actual or projected deficiency in its ability to meet costs, liabilities and expenses due within a forward-looking 90-day period. Thermo has pledged the contingent equity account to secure the Company’s obligations under the Facility Agreement. If the Company draws on the contingent equity account, it will issue Thermo shares of common stock calculated using a price per share equal to 80% of the volume-weighted average closing price of the common stock for the 15 trading days immediately preceding the draw. Thermo may withdraw undrawn amounts in the account after the Company has made the second scheduled repayment under the Facility Agreement.

Interest Rate Cap

In connection with entering into the Facility Agreement, which provides for interest at a variable rate, the Company entered into ten-year interest rate cap agreements. The interest rate cap agreements reflect a variable notional amount ranging from $14.8 million to $586.3 million at interest rates that provide coverage to the Company for exposure resulting from escalating interest rates over the term of the Facility Agreement. The interest rate cap provides limits on the six-month Libor rate (“Base Rate”) used to calculate the coupon interest on outstanding amounts on the Facility Agreement of 4.00% from the date of issuance through December 2012. Thereafter, the Base Rate is capped at 5.50% should the Base Rate not exceed 6.50%. Should the Base Rate exceed 6.50%, the Company’s Base Rate will be 1.00% less than the then six-month Libor rate.

Compound Embedded Conversion Option with 8.00% Notes

The Company recorded the conversion rights and features embedded within the 8.00% Convertible le Senior Unsecured Notes as a compound embedded derivative liability with a corresponding debt discount which is netted against the face value of the 8.00% Notes. The Company is accreting the debt discount associated with the compound embedded derivative liability to interest expense over the term of the 8.00% Notes using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of the compound embedded derivative liability is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period. The Company determined the fair value of the compound embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model based upon a risk-neutral stock price model.

Warrants Issued with 8.00% Notes

Due to the cash settlement provisions and reset features in the warrants issued with the 8.00% Notes, the Company recorded the warrants as a liability with a corresponding debt discount which is netted against the face value of the 8.00% Notes. The Company is accreting the debt discount associated with the warrant liability to interest expense over the term of the warrants using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of the warrant liability is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period. The Company determined the fair value of the Warrant derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model based upon a risk-neutral stock price model.

Warrants Issued in Conjunction with Contingent Equity Agreement

The Contingent Equity Agreement provides that the Company will pay Thermo an availability fee of 10% per year for maintaining funds in the contingent equity account. This annual fee is payable solely in warrants to purchase common stock at $0.01 per share with a five-year exercise period from issuance. The number of shares subject to the warrants issuable is calculated by taking the outstanding funds available in the contingent equity account multiplied by 10% divided by the lower of the Company’s common stock price on the issuance date or $1.37, but not less than $0.20. The common stock price is subject to a reset provision on certain valuation dates subsequent to issuance whereby the warrant price used in the calculation will be the lower of the warrant price on the issuance date or the Company’s common stock price on the valuation date, but not less than $0.20.

The Company determined that the warrants issued in conjunction with the availability fee were a derivative liability. The corresponding benefit is recorded in other assets and is amortized over the one year availability period. On June 19, 2010, the warrants issued on June 19, 2009 and on December 31, 2009 were no longer variable and the related $11.9 million liability was reclassified to equity.

On June 19, 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase 4,379,562 shares of common stock. On June 19, 2011, these warrants were subject to the reset provision, and as a result the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 620,438 shares of common stock. These warrants were no longer variable and the related $6.0 million liability was reclassified to equity.

On June 19, 2011, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock (equal to 10% of the outstanding balance in the contingent equity account divided by the Company’s common stock price on that date); these warrants will be subject to the reset provision one year after initial issuance.

No voting common stock is issuable if it would cause Thermo and its affiliates to own more than 70% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock. The Company may issue nonvoting common stock in lieu of common stock to the extent issuing common stock would cause Thermo and its affiliates to exceed this 70% ownership level.

Contingent put feature embedded in the 5.0% Notes

The Company evaluated the embedded derivative resulting from the contingent put feature within the Indenture for bifurcation from the 5.0% Notes. The contingent put feature was not deemed clearly and closely related to the 5.0% Notes and had to be bifurcated as a stand alone derivative. The Company recorded this embedded derivative liability as a non-current liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding debt discount which is netted against the face value of the 5.0% Notes. The fair value of the contingent put feature liability is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent put feature derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model based upon a risk-neutral stock price model.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2011

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements relating to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including presentation of required disclosures herein. This guidance establishes a fair value framework requiring the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Total other liabilities measured at fair value	$	—	$	—	$	(66,838	)	$	(66,838	)

Interest Rate Cap

The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined using observable pricing inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, and broker/dealer quotes at the reporting date.

Derivative Liabilities

The derivative liabilities in Level 3 include the compound embedded conversion option in the 8.00% Notes, warrants issued with the 8.00% Notes, contingent equity agreement, and the contingent put feature of the 5.0% Notes. The Company marks-to-market these liabilities at each reporting date with the changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s results of operations.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company utilized valuation models that rely exclusively on Level 3 inputs including, among other things: (i) the underlying features of each item, including reset features, make whole premiums, etc.; (ii) stock price volatility ranges from 33% – 103%; (iii) risk-free interest rates ranges from .01% – 3.18%; (iv) dividend yield of 0%; (v) conversion price of $1.61; and (vi) market price of common stock at the valuation date of $1.23.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company utilized valuation models that relied exclusively on Level 3 inputs including, among other things: (i) the underlying features of each item, including reset features, make whole premiums, etc.; (ii) stock price volatility ranges from 33% – 106%; (iii) risk-free interest rates ranges from 0.07% – 3.30%; (iv) dividend yield of 0%; (v) conversion price of $1.61; and (vi) market price of common stock at the valuation date of $1.45.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of Axonn in December 2009, the Company is obligated to pay up to an additional $10.8 million in contingent consideration for earnouts based on sales of existing and new products over a five-year earnout period. The Company’s initial estimate of the total earnout expected to be paid was 100%, or $10.8 million. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has made $1.7 million in earnout payments and expects to make the remaining $9.1 million payments over the earnout period.

Changes in the fair value of the earnout payments due to the passage of time will be recorded as accretion expense under operating expenses. The Company will make earnout payments principally in stock, but at its option may pay the earnout in cash after 13 million shares have been issued. The Company has issued 7,390,915 and 7,057,827 shares of voting common stock to Axonn and certain of its lenders as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The fair value of the accrued contingent consideration is determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. That approach is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are referred to as Level 3 inputs. The fair value is based on the acquired company reaching specific performance metrics over the next four years of operations. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company accrued the fair value of the remaining expected earnout payments of approximately $6.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

Level 3 Reconciliation

The following table presents a reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding accrued interest components, using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as follows (in thousands):

INCOME TAXES

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company follows authoritative guidance surrounding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is the Company's policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. For the periods ending June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the net deferred tax assets were fully reserved.

The Company's corporate U.S. tax return for 2006 and 2007 and its U.S. partnership tax returns filed for years prior to 2006 remain subject to examination by tax authorities. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states of a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states.

Through a prior foreign acquisition the Company acquired a tax liability for which the Company has been indemnified by the previous owners. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had recorded a tax liability of $3.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, to the foreign tax authorities with an offsetting tax receivable from the previous owners.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

10. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) provides long-term incentives to the Company’s key employees, including officers, directors, consultants and advisers (“Eligible Participants”) and to align stockholder and employee interests. Under the Equity Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and other stock based awards or any combination thereof to Eligible Participants. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors establishes the terms and conditions of any awards granted under the plans. In January 2011, 5,813,653 shares of the Company’s common stock were added to the shares available for issuance under the Equity Plan.

Grants to Eligible Participants of incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units during the period are indicated in the table below (in thousands):

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Grants of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units		—		544		—		1,260
Grants of options to purchase common stock		936		—		1,365		450
Total		936		544		1,365		1,710

In June 2011 the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which provides eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with an opportunity to conveniently acquire shares of its common stock at a discount. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be purchased through the Plan is 7,000,000 shares. The number of shares that may be purchased through the Plan will be subject to proportionate adjustments to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, or other changes in the Company’s capital stock.

The Plan permits eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock during two annual offering periods beginning on June 15 and December 15, unless adjusted by the Board or one of its designated committees (the “Offering Periods”). Eligible employees may purchase shares of up to 15% of their total compensation per pay period, but may purchase no more than $25,000 worth of shares of common stock or 500,000 shares of common stock in any calendar year, as measured as of the first day of each applicable Offering Period. The price an employee pays is 85% of the fair market value of common stock. Fair market value is equal to the lesser of the closing price of a share of common stock on either the first or last day of the Offering Period.

HEADQUARTER RELOCATION

HEADQUARTER RELOCATION

11. HEADQUARTER RELOCATION

During 2010, the Company announced that it would be relocating its corporate headquarters, product development center, customer care operations, call center and other global business functions including finance, accounting, sales, marketing and corporate communications to Covington, Louisiana.

In connection with the relocation, the Company incurred expenses, including but not limited to, severance, travel expenses, moving expenses, temporary housing, and lease termination payments. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had incurred relocation expenses of approximately $3.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and also recorded in property and equipment $1.2 million of facility improvements and replacement equipment in connection with the relocation.

The Company entered into a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement with the Louisiana Department of Economic Development (“LED”) to be reimbursed to relocate equipment and personnel from other Company locations to the facility in Covington, Louisiana. The Company records a receivable from the State as reimbursable costs are incurred or as capital expenditures are made. Reimbursements for relocation expenses offset those expenses in the period incurred. Reimbursements for capital expenditures are recorded as deferred costs and offset depreciation expense as the related assets are used in service. These reimbursements, not to exceed $8.1 million, are contingent upon meeting required payroll thresholds. The Company has committed to the State to maintain required payroll amounts for each year covered by the terms of the agreement through 2019. If the Company fails to meet the required payroll in any project year, the Company will reimburse the State for a portion of the shortfall not to exceed the total reimbursement received by the Company from the State. The Company assesses the probability of reimbursement to the State and will record a liability when the amounts are probable and estimable.

Through June 30, 2011, the Company had been reimbursed for $5.0 million of expenses incurred in connection with the relocation. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had recorded a receivable of $0.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, from the State of Louisiana related to these reimbursements. As of June 30, 2011, the Company expected to meet the minimum payroll thresholds required under the contract, and therefore had no provision for contingent payroll reimbursements.

- Definition

Description of restructuring activities such as exit and disposal activities, include facts and circumstances leading to the plan, the expected plan completion date, the major types of costs associated with the plan activities, total expected costs, the accrual balance at the end of the period, and the periods over which the remaining accrual will be settled.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Obligations

In April 2011, the Company and a potential vendor entered into a contingent agreement for services related to the second-generation satellite constellation. This agreement becomes effective if and when the Company obtains certain financing commitments prior to September 30, 2011. If the effective date does not occur on or before September 30, 2011, this agreement will terminate and all deposits will be refunded to the Company. If on or before September 30, 2011, the Company obtains a commitment to finance alternative or competing services other than those to be provided by the potential vendor, the vendor will retain the $6.0 million deposits made by the Company.

The Company has issued separate purchase orders for additional phone equipment and accessories under the terms of previously executed commercial agreements with Qualcomm. Within the terms of the commercial agreements, the Company paid Qualcomm approximately 7.5% to 25% of the total order as advances for inventory. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, total advances to Qualcomm for inventory were $9.2 million. As of each of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding commitment balances of approximately $48.9 million. The Company and Qualcomm are interested in terminating the purchase orders and are negotiating to do so.

Arbitration and Litigation

On June 3, 2011, the Company filed a demand for arbitration against Thales before the American Arbitration Association to enforce certain rights to order additional satellites under the Amended and Restated Contract for the construction of the Company’s satellites for the second-generation constellation. Specifically, the Company seeks a declaration that Thales is obligated to manufacture and deliver Phase 3 satellites in amounts timely ordered by the Company at the Contract price calculable in accordance with the Amended and Restated Contract, along with additional declaratory relief and specific performance.

Thales claims that the Company is not entitled to the fixed pricing for Phase 3 satellites provided under the Amended and Restated Contract and that the price of any Phase 3 satellites ordered by the Company is subject to equitable adjustment. Thales seeks a declaration and award of termination charges of €60.5 million, alleging that the Company has terminated a portion of the contract for convenience. The Company has previously paid Thales €12.0 million for the procurement of certain long-lead time components and parts for six of these satellites and prepaid €53.0 million for these satellites. The Company disputes that it has terminated any portion of the contract for convenience and under the unambiguous language of the contract, even if it had terminated any portion of the contract for convenience, management believes the Company would not owe any termination charges as no work has been performed under Phase 3 of the contract. As such, the Company has not recorded any reserve for Thales’ claims.

The Company has requested and received formal assurance from Thales that the arbitration process will not affect any work being performed pursuant to the Contract regarding manufacture and delivery of the remaining first 24 satellites.

The panel of three arbitrators has been selected, and the hearing is currently scheduled to begin January 24, 2012.

Due to the nature of the Company's business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in various litigation matters or subject to disputes or routine claims regarding its business activities. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred. In management's opinion, other than the arbitration discussed above, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Other

See Note 3 regarding the status of certain second-generation satellites and the potential impairment if the Company is unable to successfully develop and implement a solution.

LOSS PER SHARE

6 Months Ended

LOSS PER SHARE

14. LOSS PER SHARE

The Company is required to present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share only when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, diluted net loss per share of common stock were the same as basic net loss per share of common stock, because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, 17.3 million Borrowed Shares related to the Company’s Share Lending Agreement remained outstanding. The Company does not consider the Borrowed Shares to be outstanding for the purposes of computing and reporting its earnings per share.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

16. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 will be applied retrospectively. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Based on the Company’s evaluation of this ASU, the adoption of this amendment will only impact the presentation of comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This guidance requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3, a reporting entity is required to disclose separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than one net number). The updated guidance also requires that an entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance was effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance with respect to the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements effective January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method. The new standard provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective first quarter of fiscal 2012 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of this standard will have on its results of operations or financial position.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. The new guidance changed the requirements for establishing separate units of accounting in a multiple element arrangement and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable based on the relative selling price. The selling price for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. The new standard is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 has not had an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
