CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this "Form 10-Q)10-Q”), including, without limitation, statements under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"). Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning Momentus Inc.’s (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "potential," "projects," "predicts," "continue," or "should," or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the ability of the Company to obtain licenses and government approvals for its missions, which are essential to its operations; the ability of the Company to effectively market and sell satellite transport services and planned in-orbit services; the ability of the Company to protect its intellectual property and trade secrets; the development of markets for satellite transport and in-orbit services; the ability of the Company to develop, test and validate its technology, including its water plasma propulsion technology; delays or impediments that the Company may face in the development, manufacture and deployment of next generation satellite transport

systems; the ability of the Company to convert backlog or inbound inquiries into revenue; changes in applicable laws or regulations and extensive and evolving government regulations that impact operations and business, including export control license requirements; the ability to attract or maintain a qualified workforce with the required security clearances and requisite skills; level of product service or product or launch failures or delays that could lead customers to use competitors’ services; investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions, litigation and/or other regulatory or legal proceedings; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business; the Company’s ability to comply with the terms of its National Security Agreement (the “NSA”) and any related compliance measures instituted by the director who was approved by the CFIUSCommittee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) Monitoring Agencies (the “Security Director”); the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and/or other risks and uncertainties

Tables of Contents
described under Part II, Item 1A: "Risk Factors." Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described under Part II, Item 1A: "Risk Factors" may not be exhaustive.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. In addition, even if our results or operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Operations
The Company
Momentus Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries “Momentus” or the “Company”) is a U.S. commercial space company that plans to offer in-space infrastructure services, including in-space transportation, hosted payloads and in-orbit services. Momentus believes it can make new ways of operating in space possible with its planned in-space transfer and service vehicles that will be powered by an innovative water plasma-based propulsion system that is under development. The Company anticipates flying its Vigoride vehicle to Low Earth Orbit on a third-party launch provider as early as JuneMay 2022, subject to receipt of licenses and government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for flight.
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch targeted for May 2022. Together with a license from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) received on April 28, 2022, and updates to existing licenses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the “NOAA”), the Company has received all required government approvals required for its inaugural flight. See Note 14.
Background and Business Combination
On August 12, 2021, the Company consummated a merger pursuant to certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 7, 2020, and as amended on March 5, 2021, April 6, 2021, and June 29, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Stable Road Acquisition Corp (“SRAC”), Project Marvel First Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of SRAC (“First Merger Sub”), and Project Marvel Second Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of SRAC (“Second Merger Sub”), pursuant to which First Merger Sub merged with and into Momentus Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Momentus”) with Legacy Momentus as the surviving corporation of the First Merger Sub, and immediately following which Legacy Momentus merged with and into the Second Merger Sub, with the Second Merger Sub as the surviving entity (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name from Stable Road Acquisition Corp. to Momentus Inc., and Legacy Momentus changed its name to Momentus Space, LLC.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, ("ASC 805") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, SRAC, who was the legal acquirer, is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Legacy Momentus is treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Legacy Momentus issued stock for the net assets of SRAC, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and Legacy Momentus’ financial statements became those of the Company. Reported shares and earnings per share available to holders of the Company’s common stock, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination. See Note 3 for more information.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, at the Closing, each share of SRAC’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), converted into 1 share of SRAC’s Class A Common Stock. After the Closing and following the effectiveness of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, each share of Class A Common Stock was automatically reclassified, redesignated and changed into 1 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), without any further action by the Company or any stockholder thereof.
Prior to the Business Combination, SRAC’s units, public shares, and public warrants were listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols “SRACU,” “SRAC,” and “SRACW,” respectively. On August 13, 2021, the Company's Class A common stock and public warrants began trading on the Nasdaq, under the symbols “MNTS” and “MNTSW,” respectively.

The PIPE Investors were also granted an equal number of private warrants to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The warrants were recorded as a derivative liability under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”) and the warrant liability was initially valued at $30.5 million.

Basis of Presentation
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SRAC is treated as the acquired company and Momentus Inc. is treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes (the “Combined Company”). Momentus Inc. was determined to be the accounting acquirer as Momentus Inc.'s shareholdersstockholders prior to the Merger had the greatest voting interest in the combined entity, Momentus Inc. comprises all of the ongoing operations, and Momentus Inc.'s senior management directs operations of the combined entity.
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Combined Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Momentus with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Momentus issuing stock for the net assets of SRAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SRAC are recorded at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
One-time direct and incremental transaction costs incurred by the Company were recorded based on the activities to which the costs relate and the structure of the transaction; cost allocated to the issuance of equity were recorded as a reduction of the amount of equity raised, presented in additional paid in capital, while all costs allocated to the liability classified warrants were charged to expense.
In connection with the Business Combination, outstanding units of Momentus were converted into common stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share, representing a recapitalization. Momentus is deemed to be the predecessor of the Company, and the consolidated assets and liabilities and results of operations prior to the Closing

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of the reclassifications have changed the total assets, liabilities, stockholders’ deficit, income, expenses or net losses previously reported.
Going ConcernPrinciples of consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financialsfinancial statements include the financial statements of all the subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has had a history of operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of the date of the most recent audited financial statements, December 31, 2020, the Company had concluded that there was substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year of that issuance date. Since that date, the Company has obtained additional funding of $247.3 million in connection with the Business Combination to support its ongoing operations and future growth of the Company. Management has concluded that substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern beyond the next 12 months has been alleviated basedeliminated upon the recent funding.consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounting for useful lives of property, machinery and equipment, net, intangible assets, net, accrued liabilities, income taxes including deferred tax assets and liabilities, impairment valuation, stock-based awards, SAFE notes and warrant liabilities.
COVID-19 Pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. government and various states implemented quarantine requirements and travel restrictions. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial statements will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, resurgences and emergence of variants, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The potential impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is inherently difficult to predict and could adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Emerging Growth Company Status
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS(the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Post-Combination Company has total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) December 31, 2024, and the Company expects to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare the Company’s financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Restricted Cash and cash equivalents

MOMENTUS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in bank with no restrictions, as well as highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have remaining maturities of three months or less when initially purchased.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily represents deposited cash that is restricted by financial institutions for two purposes. $0.4 million is restricted as collateral for a letter of credit issued to the Company’s landlord in accordance with the terms of a lease agreement entered into in December 2020. A portion of this restricted cash ($0.1 million) is classified as a current asset as it will be returned to the Company one year following the completion of the Business Combination with SRAC, while the remaining $0.3 million is classified as a non-current asset as it will be returned to the Company upon the occurrence of future events which are expected to occur beyond at least one year from SeptemberMarch 31, 2022.
Deferred Fulfillment and Prepaid Launch Costs
We prepay for certain launch costs to third party providers that will carry the transport vehicle to orbit. Prepaid costs allocated to the delivery of a customers’ payload are classified as deferred fulfillment costs and recognized as cost of revenue upon delivery of the customers’ payload. Prepaid costs allocated to our payload are classified as prepaid launch costs and are amortized to research and development expense upon the release of our payload. The allocation is determined based on the distribution between customer and out payload weight on each launch.
As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $5.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of deferred fulfillment and prepaid launch costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On May 21, 2021, the Company received notification from one of its launch service providers that it was terminating 2 launch service agreements for flights scheduled during calendar year 2021 and that they considered the Company to be in default of prior payments totaling $8.7 million. The Company believed the prepayments would be non-recoverable as this was the third time the payload was rescheduled. As a result of the notification from one of its launch service providers, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8.7 million of prepaid launch costs during the three months ended June 30, 2021. $0.7There was an unrelated impairment of $0.8 million the three months ended March 31, 2021.
On October 12, 2021, the Company began discussions with the same launch service provider about reestablishing a future launch schedule. As a result of the discussion, the Company signed a Launch Services Agreement on October 19, 2021 that reserves space on an upcoming launch, which is restrictedtargeted for expendituresMay 2022. While securing space on the manifest is an important step, our plan to launch in May 2022 remains subject to the receipt of licenses and other government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for flight. The Company determined that $2.7 million of the impaired deposits were potentially recoverable in connection with the reestablished schedule. The Company did not record any adjustments as a result of the discussions. See Note 4.
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch targeted for May 2022. Together with a license from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) received on April 28, 2022, and updates to existing licenses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the “NOAA”), the Company has received all required government approvals required for its inaugural flight. See Note 14.
Property, Machinery and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets by asset category are described below:

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Fixed AssetsEstimated Useful Life
Computer equipmentThree years
Furniture and fixturesFive years
Leasehold improvementsLesser of estimated useful life or remaining lease term (one year to seven years)
Machinery and equipmentSeven years
Costs of maintenance or repairs that do not extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expenses as incurred.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets consist of patents and cloud computing implementation costs (in accordance with ASU 2018-15) and are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over 10 years for patents, and 3 years for cloud computing implementation costs, which is the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.
Deferred Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the National Security Agreement (“NSA”)Company’s Business Combination. Upon completion of the Business Combination, all deferred offering costs were netted with proceeds from the Business Combination, with costs relating to the issuance of equity recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital, while all costs related to the liability classified warrants were charged to expense. See Note 3 for more information.
Loss Contingencies
We estimate loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, which states that a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if both of the following conditions are met: (a) information available before the consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required. Refer toNote 12.
Revenue Recognition
The Company enters into contracts for ‘last-mile’ satellite and cargo delivery, payload hosting and in-orbit servicing options with customers that are primarily in the aerospace industry. From inception to September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company has not completed a commercial launch of customer cargo and as a result, has not recognized revenue to date for launch services. However, as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company hashad collected $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in customer deposits related to signed contracts with customers, including firm orders and options (some of which have already been exercised by customers) and has collected $1.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in customer. These deposits which are recorded as current and non-current contract liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets. Included in the collected amount as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are $1.6$1.7 million of non-current deposits. The Company’s first launch with customers is currently anticipated to occur as early as JuneMay 2022, subject to receipt of licenses and government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for flight. While a portion of the deposit balance relates to performance obligations that may be satisfied over the next 12twelve months, the Company will classify customer deposits as non-current until the inaugural launch date is reasonably assured.
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch targeted for May 2022. Together with a license from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) received on April 28, 2022, and updates to existing licenses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the “NOAA”), the Company has received all required government approvals required for its inaugural flight. See Note 14.
The Company will recognize revenue (along with any other fees that have been paid) upon the earlier of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation or when the customer cancels the contract. For the nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue related to customer cancelled contracts of $0.3 million, which

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
were previously recorded as a contract liability. The Company also recorded $(0.14)$(0.1) million as a reduction of cost of revenue which represents the reversal of a contingency recorded during the prior year for loss contracts, partially offset by costs incurred related to one of the cancelled contracts. During the three monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2021, in conjunction with the isolated refunds described below, the Company signed amendments with those customers considered in the contingency, such that the services will no longer be free of charge. The reversed contingency was offset by costs incurred related to one of the cancelled contracts.
While the Company’s standard contracts do not contain refund or recourse provisions that enable its customers to recover any non-refundable fees that have been paid, the Company may issue full or partial refunds to customers on a case-by-case basis as necessary to preserve and foster future business relationships and customer goodwill. As a result of the Company’s inability to complete any launches in 2021 (refer to Note 4 for additional information), the Company issued customer refunds of $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Deferred Fulfillment and Prepaid Launch Costs
As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $3.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of deferred fulfillment and prepaid launch costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. On May 21, 2021, the Company received notification from one of its launch service providers that it was terminating 2 launch service agreements for flights scheduled during calendar year 2021 and that they considered the Company to be in default of prior payments totaling $8.7 million. The Company believes the prepayments will be non-recoverable as this was the third time the payload was rescheduled. As a result of the notification from one of its launch service providers, the Company recorded an impairment of $8.7 million of current prepaid launch costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 4 for more information. See Note 15 for more information about the potential recovery of a portion of the impaired launch costs.
SAFE Notes
The Company issued Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) notes to investors during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which were converted to shares of common stock in connection with the Business Combination. Prior to conversion, the Company determined that the SAFE notes were not a legal form of debt (i.e., no creditors’ rights). The SAFE notes included a provision allowing

for the investors to receive a portion of the proceeds upon a change of control equal to the greater of their investment amount or the amount payable based upon a number of shares of common stock equal to the investment amount divided by the liquidity price, the occurrence of which is outside the control of the Company. This provision required that the SAFE notes be classified as marked-to-market liabilities pursuant to ASC 480. See Note 9 for more information.
Deferred Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Company’s Business Combination. Upon completion of the Business Combination, all deferred offering costs were netted with proceeds from the Business Combination, with costs relating to the issuance of equity recorded as a reduction of the amount of equity raised, presented in additional paid in capital, while all costs related to the liability classified warrants was estimated and charged to expense. See Note 3 for more information.2021.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. A three-tiered hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company use observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value:
Level 1, observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2, inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly;indirectly, and
Level 3, unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires that the Company develop its own assumptions.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and certain prepaid and other current assets and accrued expenses approximate carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments which fall with Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of certain other non-current assets and liabilities approximates fair value. The Company had no Level 2 inputs on September 30, 2021for the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021.
The Company’s SAFE note liabilities, prior to conversion, in connection with the Business Combination, were marked-to-market liabilities pursuant to ASC 480 and wereare classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company wasis using a backsolve method within the Black Scholes Option Pricing model, which allowed the Company to solve for the implied value of the business based on the terms of the SAFE investments. Significant unobservable inputs included volatility and expected term. The Company performedVolatility is based upon on the actual historical volatility of a fair value measurementgroup of comparable publicly traded companies observed over a historical period equal to the expected remaining life of the SAFE investments. The expected term was based on the anticipated time until the SAFE investments would have a conversion event. Upon conversion, the SAFE notes were valued based on the closing price of Company’s common stock on the Closing Date.
The Company’s warrants are recorded as a derivative liability pursuant to ASC 815 and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company is using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model. Significant unobservable inputs include stock price, volatility and expected term. Expected stock price volatility is based on the actual historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies observed over a historical period equal to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of valuation equal to the remaining expected life of the Warrants. The expected term was based on the maturity of the warrant, which is 5 years. The dividend yield percentage is zero because the Company does not currently pay dividends, nor does it intend to do so during the expected term of the warrants. Upon conversion of the Legacy Momentus private warrants immediately prior to the business combination, the key valuation input was the closing price of Company’s common stock on the Closing Date, as the expected term and volatility were immaterial to the pricing model.
The Company’s performance awards under the equity incentive plans are recorded as contingent liabilities pursuant to ASC 480, measured at fair value. The performance awards are classified within Level 3 of the change inhierarchy as the fair value is dependent on management assumptions about the likelihood of non-market outcomes (see Note 11). There were no transfers between levels of input during the instruments prior to converting them to equity.three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share excludes all potential common shares and SAFE notes if their effect is anti-dilutive. See Note 11.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The table below detailsCompany evaluates the excluded potential common shares wherecarrying value of long-lived assets on an annual basis, or more frequently whenever circumstances indicate a long-lived asset may be impaired. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In the event cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their effectestimated fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 there were immaterial impairments of long-lived assets. See Note 5 and Note 6.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has a stock incentive plan under which equity awards are granted to employees, directors, and consultants. All stock-based payments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values.
Restricted stock unit fair value is anti-dilutivebased on our closing stock price on the day of the grant. Stock option fair value is determined using the Black Scholes Merton Option Pricing model. The model requires management to make a number of assumptions, including expected volatility of the Company’s stock, expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) compensation fair value is also determined using the Black Scholes Merton Option Pricing model, using a six month expected term to conform with the six month ESPP offering period.

The fair value of equity awards are expensed over the related service period which is typically the vesting period, and expense is only recognized for awards that are expected to vest. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include activities to develop existing and future technologies for the threeCompany’s vehicles. Research and ninedevelopment activities include basic research, applied research, design, development, and related test program activities. Costs incurred for developing our vehicles primarily include equipment, material, and labor hours (both internal and subcontractors).
Once the Company has achieved technological feasibility, the Company will capitalize the costs to construct any additional components of the vehicle systems.
Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities related to an executory contractual arrangement are deferred and capitalized. These advance payments are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or services performed. When the related goods are no longer expected to be delivered or services rendered, the capitalized advance payment should be charged to expense.
Leases
The Company leases real estate facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through February 2028. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception based on whether there is an identified property, plant or equipment and whether the Company controls the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use.
The Company adopted the ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2020. The Company elected the package of practical expedients for transition under which the Company did not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Additionally, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient for transition under which conclusions around lease term and impairment will not be reassessed.
Operating leases are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease and are included in current and non-current liabilities. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease inception date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term discounted based on the more readily determinable of (i) the rate implicit in the lease or (ii) the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease). Because the Company’s operating leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date for borrowings with a similar term.
The Company’s operating lease ROU assets are measured based on the corresponding operating lease liability adjusted for (i) payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, (ii) initial direct costs incurred and (iii) tenant incentives under the lease. The Company does not assume renewals or early terminations unless it is reasonably certain to exercise these options at commencement. The Company elected the practical expedient which allows the Company to not allocate consideration between lease and non-lease components. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient such that it does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months ended September 30, 2021or less of all asset classes. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which requires the use of the asset and 2020.liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are

measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be reversed.
Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies.
In the event that management changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
The Company is required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the “more likely than not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount that is initially recognized.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in banks that management believes are creditworthy, however deposits may exceed federally insured limits.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating performance. In consideration of ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” we are not organized around specific services or geographic regions. We currently operate in one service line providing in-space transportation services.
Our chief operating decision maker uses condensed financial information to evaluate our performance, which is the same basis on which our results and performance are communicated to our Board of Directors. Based on the information described above and in accordance with the applicable literature, management has concluded that we are organized and operated as 1 operating and reportable segment.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Although there are several new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which have been adopted or will be adopted as applicable, management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was within the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted this standard on

Recently Adopted Accounting Standardsadoption.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the accounting for income taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in income taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective approach and has elected to use the optional transition method which allows the Company to apply the guidance of ASC 840, including disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification related to agreements entered prior to adoption.
The adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $0.55 million and $0.56 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2020. There was no material cumulative

Note 3. Reverse Recapitalization
As discussed in Note 1, "Nature of Operations,", on the Closing Date, SRAC completed the acquisition of Momentus Inc. and acquired 100% of Momentus Inc.’s shares and Momentus Inc. received gross proceeds of $247.3 million, which includesincluded $110.0 million in proceeds from the PIPE Investment, and $137.3 million in proceeds from issuance of common stock upon the Merger and $110.0 million in proceedsclosing of the Business Combination.
Proceeds from the PIPE Investment.issuance of common stock comprised of $172.5 million of public investment in SRAC, reduced by redemptions of $35.6 million. SRAC had additional stockholder deficit of $8.5 million, inclusive of $0.4 million of additional cash in trust from operations, which reduced the total proceeds to $238.8 million.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under ASC 805, with Momentus Inc. as the accounting acquirer and SRAC as the acquired company for accounting purposes. Momentus Inc. was determined to be the accounting acquirer as Momentus Inc.'s stockholders prior to the Merger had the greatest voting interest in the combined entity, Momentus Inc. comprises all of the ongoing operations, and Momentus Inc.'s senior management directs operations of the combined entity. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Momentus Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. Net assets were stated at historical cost consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse recapitalization of Momentus Inc.
One-time direct and incremental transaction costs incurred by the Company were recorded based on the activities to which the costs relate and the structure of the transaction. Costs of $27.8 million allocated to the issuance of equity were recorded as a reduction of equity raised, presented in additional paid in capital, while costs of $4.8 million allocated to the liability classified warrants were charged to expense. On the Closing Date, each holder of Momentus Inc. preferred and common stock received approximately 0.2467416 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. See Note 11 for additional details of the Company's stockholders' equity (deficit) prior to and subsequent to the Merger.
All equity awards of Momentus Inc. were assumed by the Company and converted into comparable equity awards that are settled or exercisable for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result, each outstanding stock option was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.2467416, and each outstanding restricted stock award was converted into restricted stock awards of the Company that, upon vesting, may be settled for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.2467416.
Outstanding private warrants of Momentus Inc. common stock were also converted into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.2467416.
Each public and private warrant of SRAC that was unexercised at the time of the Merger was assumed by the Company and represents the right to purchase 1 share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon exercise of such warrant. See Note 11 for more information.
Lock-up Agreements
In conjunction with the Closing, certain insider stockholders executed lock-up agreements, pursuant to which such stockholders agree not to transfer any shares of Class A common stock for a period of six months after the Closing or, if earlier, the first date the closing price of the Class A Common Stockcommon stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following the Closing.

FAA application
On May 10, 2021, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) denying the Company’s application for a payload review for the then-planned June 2021 launch. According to the letter, during an interagency consultation, the FAA was informed that the launch of the Company’s payload posed national security concerns associated with the Company’s then-current corporate structure. The letter further stated that the FAA understood that the Company was undergoing a process that might resolve the national security concerns, and that the FAA could reconsider a payload application when that process was completed.
As a result of the FAA application denial, on May 21, 2021, the Company received notification from one of its launch service providers that it was terminating two launch service agreements for flights scheduled during calendar year 2021 and that they considered the Company to be in default of prior payments totaling $8.7 million. The Company believesbelieved the prepayments will bewere non-recoverable as this was the third time the payload was rescheduled. As a result of the notification from one of its launch service providers, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8.7 million of prepaid launch costs during the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021. See Note 15There was an unrelated impairment of $0.8 million for more informationthe three months ended March 31, 2021.
On October 12, 2021, the Company began discussions with the same launch service provider about reestablishing a future launch schedule. As a result of the potential recoverydiscussion, the Company signed a Launch Services Agreement on October 19, 2021 that reserves space on an upcoming launch, which is targeted for May 2022. While securing space on the manifest is an important step, our plan to launch in May 2022 remains subject to the receipt of a portionlicenses and other government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for flight. The Company determined that $2.7 million of the impaired deposits were potentially recoverable in connection with the reestablished schedule. The Company did not record any adjustments as a result of the discussions.
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch costs.targeted for May 2022. Together with a license from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) received on April 28, 2022, and updates to existing licenses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the “NOAA”), the Company has received all required government approvals required for its inaugural flight.

Because the discount on the note exceeds 63% of its initial face value, and because the discount is amortized over the period from issuance to maturity, of one year, the calculated effective interest rate is 125.97%up until January 2022 was 126.0%.

Securities Class Actions
On July 15, 2021, a purported stockholder of SRAC filed a putative class action complaint against SRAC, SRC-NI Holdings, LLC ("Sponsor"), Brian Kabot (SRAC CEO), James Norris (SRAC CFO), Momentus, and the Company's co-founder and former CEO, Mikhail Kokorich, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, in a case captioned Jensen v. Stable Road Acquisition Corp., et al., No. 2:21-cv-05744 (the "Jensen class action"). The complaint alleges that the defendants omitted certain material information in their public statements and disclosures regarding the Proposed Transaction, in violation of the securities laws, and seeks damages on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who purchased SRAC stock between October 7, 2020 and July 13, 2021.
On July 22, 2021 and August 4, 2021, purported stockholders of SRAC filed putative class action complaints against SRAC, SRC-NI Holdings, LLC, Brian Kabot, James Norris, Momentus, and Mikhail Kokorich in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, in cases captioned Hall v. Stable Road Acquisition Corp., et al., No. 2:21-cv-05943 (the "Hall class action") and Depoy v. Stable Road Acquisition Corp., et al., No. 2:21-cv-06287 (the "Depoy class action"). The allegations in the Hall and Depoy class actions are substantially the same as the allegations in the Jensen class action (collectively, referred to as the "securities class actions") and the purported class period is identical. On October 20, 2021, the securities class actions were consolidated in the first filed matter. Other, similar suits may follow.
On November 12, 2021, Lead Plaintiff Hartmut Haenisch filed an Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) against SRAC, Sponsor, Brian Kabot, Juan Manuel Quiroga, James Norris, James Hofmockel, Momentus, Mikhail Kokorich, Dawn Harms, and Fred Kennedy. Ms. Harms and Mr. Kennedy, and others, were added as defendants in the Amended Complaint. The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants made certain material misrepresentations, and omitted certain material information, in their public statements and disclosures regarding the Proposed Transaction, in violation of the securities laws, and seeks damages on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who purchased SRAC stock between October 7, 2020 and July 13, 2021. On February 14, 2022, Momentus filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Momentus disputes the allegations in the Amended Complaint and intends to vigorously defend the litigation.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies (cont.)
These securities class actions and other such litigation matters may be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause the Company to incur significant defense and settlement costs or liability, even if we believe the claims asserted against us are without merit. We intend to vigorously defend against all such claims. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, as well as claims for indemnity from various of the parties concerned, we may from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, further compounded by various claims for indemnity which may or may not be fully insured, we cannot assure that the results of these actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
SEC Settlement and CFIUS Review
On January 24, 2021, the Company received a subpoena from the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("Division of Enforcement") requesting documents regarding the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and Amendment No. 1 thereto 1 (the "Registration Statement") filed by SRAC in connection with the Business Combination. The Company entered into a settlement with the SEC on July 8, 2021. As a result of the settlement, in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, (“ASC 450”) the Company paid a fine of $2 million and recorded a liability of $5 million, due one year from the settlement date.
In February 2021, the Company and Mr. Kokorich, with support from SRAC, submitted a joint notice to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS")CFIUS for review of the historical acquisition of interests in the Company by Mr. Kokorich, his wife, and entities that they control in response to concerns of the U.S. Department of Defense regarding the Company���sCompany’s foreign ownership and control. On June 8, 2021, U.S. Departments of Defense and the Treasury, on behalf of CFIUS, Mr. Kokorich, on behalf of himself and Nortrone Finance S.A. (an entity controlled by Mr. Kokorich), Lev Khasis and Olga Khasis, each in their respective individual capacities and on behalf of Brainyspace LLC (an entity controlled by Olga Khasis) entered into a National Security Agreement (the "NSA").
In accordance with the NSA and pursuant to certain Repurchase Agreements entered into with the Company, effective as of June 8, 2021, each of Mr. Kokorich, Nortrone Finance S.A. and Brainyspace LLC (collectively “the Co-Founders”) sold 100% of their respective equity interests in the Company on June 30, 2021. In exchange for their equity interests, the Company initially paid each entity $1, but will additionally pay up to an aggregate of $50,000,000, out of funds legally available therefor, to the Co-Founders, on a pro rata basis, as follows: (i) an aggregate of $40,000,000 to be paid out of funds legally available therefor, within 10 business days after the earlier of (A) a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of no less than $100,000,000 and (B) the Business Combination (the “First Payment Date”); and (ii) an aggregate of $10,000,000 to be paid out of funds legally available therefor, within 10 business days after a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of no less than $250,000,000 (determined without any reduction for the $100,000,000 previously received in respect of the First Payment Date).
As a result of the Business Combination, which generated $247.3 million of gross proceeds (as described in Note 3), the Company paid the Co-Founders $40.0 million in addition to the initial consideration paid of $3. The Company recorded the consideration paid as a reduction of common stock and additional paid in capital. Pursuant to the NSA, a portion of those divestment proceeds were placed in escrow accounts, and may not be released to the divested investors until after completion of audit by a third party auditor of the investors compliance with the NSA and the lapse of a 15 day period without an objection from the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies. Following the third party audit of the investors’ NSA compliance, all of the escrowed divestment proceeds were released to the Co-Founders as of March 1, 2022 in accordance with the NSA.
If the Company were to undertake a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $2.7 million or more, the Company would need to pay an aggregate of $10.0 million to the Co-Founders (see Note 11).
The Company evaluated this potential consideration as a liability under ASC 480 utilizing a probability-weighted approach. Certain factors which would enable successful fundraising were considered, including progress toward compliance with the NSA, research and development progress, and agreements with launch providers, resulting in an estimated liability of $6.0 million expected to be paid to the Co-Founders with a corresponding offset to additional paid in capital, as of March 31, 2022.

The NSA establishes various requirements and restrictions on the Company to protect national security, certain of which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s operating results due to the cost of compliance, limitations on the Company’s control over certain U.S. facilities, contracts, personnel, vendor selection and operations, and any potential penalties for noncompliance with such requirements and restrictions. The NSA provides for quarterly compliance auditing by an independent auditor. The NSA further provides for liquidated damages up to $1,000,000 per breach of the NSA. If the CFIUS monitoring agencies, the U.S. Departments of Defense and Treasury, find noncompliance, the CFIUS monitoring agencies could impose penalties, including liquidated damages.

These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to the statutory rates in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily relates to certain nondeductible items, state and local income taxes and a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Momentus plans to offer in-spacetransportation and infrastructure services and if we achieve our business plans and goals, we believe that we can become an important provider of tools, infrastructure and services that willto help enable the commercialization of space. Momentus intendsSatellite operators are our principal customers and target customers. Services that we plan to utilize a multi-pronged approachprovide include “last mile” satellite transportation, payload-hosting, on-orbit satellite refueling, on-orbit inspection, on-orbit satellite maintenance, de-orbiting, debris removal, and other satellite-to-satellite service offerings. We believe our planned service offerings will increase deployment options for satellite operators and lower their operating costs relative to become a providertraditional approaches while also minimizing environmental impact given our choice of three critical functions in the new space economy: Space Transportation, Satellitewater as a Service, and In-Orbit Servicing. Momentus is planningpropellant.
Our transportation service offering will focus on delivering our customers’ satellites to precision orbits of their choosing. To accomplish this, we plan to create a hub and spoke spacehub-and-spoke transportation model by offering last-mile deliverynetwork in partnership with leading providers of launch services on large and mid-size rockets,service providers, such as SpaceX. By combiningUnder this model, our customers’ satellites would “ride share” from Earth to space on a midsized or large rocket. Our Orbital Transfer Vehicles (“OTVs”) would then provide “last mile” transportation services from the capabilitiesrocket’s drop-off orbit to a custom orbit of low-cost launch vehicles from third party providers withthe satellite operator’s choosing. We believe our planned in-space transfer and service vehicles powered by water plasma propulsion technology, we believe we willhub-and-spoke model has the potential to expand our customers’ deployment options relative to what they would be able to offer our customers significantly more affordable accessachieve with ride share launch alone, while reducing their costs relative to space. We believe that our water plasma propulsion technology, once further developed, tested and validated, will have the potentialwhat they could achieve with a dedicated small launch vehicle. Over time, we plan to deliver fast, versatile, and cost-effectivebegin introducing additional services to our customers. We believe that our highly experienced team of engineers, and operations managers puts us in a strong position to commercialize our technology in the future and become a market leader in the development of the new space economy. beyond “last mile” transportation.

These includeagreements contain firm orders as well as optionable contracts.options, allowing customers to opt-in to launches on shorter notice without requiring a separate agreement. The breadth of these signed contracts spans across 25 companies. In general, theour customers have the right to cancel their contracts with the understanding that they will forgo their deposits. If a customer cancels a contract before it is required to pay non-refundable deposits, we may not receive revenue from these orders, except for an initial deposit which is paid at the time the contract is signed. Refer to “Risk Factors —We may not be able to convert our orders in backlog into revenue,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company on March 9, 2022.
Our first launch with customers is currently anticipated to occur as early as JuneMay 2022, subject to receipt of licenses and government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for flight. Prior planned launches were cancelled due to not receiving required licenses and other governmental approvals and other factors, and we can offer no assurances that our first launch will occur in JuneMay 2022 or that we will ever receive the required licenses and other governmental approvals.
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch targeted for May 2022. Together with a license from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) received on April 28, 2022, and updates to existing licenses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the “NOAA”), the Company has received all required government approvals required for its inaugural flight.

Our services are made possible by the space industry’s rapid technological developments over the past two decades, driven predominantly by significant decreases in launch costs, as well as the advent of smaller, lower-cost satellites. This convergence of these trends has resulted in substantial growth in the commercial space market, rooted in higher accessibility for companies entering the new space economy that aim to offer communication, earth observation and data collection services, and other satellite services. services
We anticipate there could be considerable growth over the coming years in the space transportation segment as companies continue to seek versatile and low-cost ways to deliver single satellites to specific orbits or deploy their satellite constellations. We anticipate that the need for small satellite markettransportation to be drivers oflow-Earth orbit (“LEO”) will continue to drive overall demand growth for space transportation services in the short-term as satellite technology drives smaller and cheaper satellites, and increasing numbers of satellite constellationsadvancements continue to emerge. make space more accessible to new market entrants, although new applications beyond LEO are also emerging. We also believe that over the next decade, new space-based business modelsbusinesses may emerge, for example the generation of solar energy in space, space manufacturing or space data processing. The advent of these new business models could substantially increase demand for space transportation and other space infrastructure services.
Beyond transportation, we anticipate that growth of the satellite constellations market may drive demand for our Hosted Payload, on-orbit satellite refueling, on-orbit inspection, on-orbit satellite maintenance, de-orbiting, debris removal, and other satellite-to-satellite service offerings, if we are successful in executing on our business plan, including fully developing and validating our technology in space. Satellite constellations have relatively short lifespans and, in our view, will require maintenance, de-orbiting, and other general servicing with higher frequency.
We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to advance the development of our vehicles, build corporate infrastructure and enhance our sales and marketing functions.
The technology underlying our anticipated service offerings is still in the process of being developed, and has not been fully tested or validated in space. Our ability to execute on our business plan is dependent on the successful development and commercialization of the technologies described in this quarterly report.Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we believe our
28

Table of Contents
water plasma propulsion technology will be a key differentiator of our product offerings, we have to date only conducted one test of this technology in space. Although we believe our test unit generated plasma in space and validated the theoretical basis of our technology, we have yet to experimentally confirm the unit’s ability to generate thrust in space, which is crucial to our ability to conduct actual spacecraft maneuvers in orbit. Until we can accomplish this, the technology will remain in the experimental stages. Moreover, even if the unit generates thrust, there can be no assurance that it can be operated in a manner that is sufficiently reliable and efficient to permit full commercialization of the technology. Our statements and beliefs about the viability of our technology are primarily based on theoretical analyses and experimentally observed results during ground testing and our single test of this technology in space. Development of space technologies is extremely complex, time consuming, and expensive, and there can be no assurance that our predicted theoretical and ground-based results will translate into operational space vehicles that operate within the parameters we expect, or at all. This quarterly reportQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes Momentus’ current business plans for continuing to develop its technology and marketing and commercializing its products, however there can be no assurance that Momentus will be able to successfully develop its technologies and implement them in commercially viable vehicles. Refer to “Risk Factors — A key component of our business model is the delivery of satellites using our vehicles from low earth orbit to other orbits. The technology for this maneuver is still in the development stage...” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company on March 9, 2022.
Services Overview
IfWhen our technology is fully developed and validated in the future, we currently plan to provide the following infrastructure services to the space economy:
Space Transportation. We are designing oura space transportation service based on a hub and spoke model. When the time forhub-and-spoke model, which combines ride share launch approaches,on a medium or large rocket with last-mile delivery using one of our OTVs. Under this model, our customers will send usdeliver their payload to us a few months in advanceprior to launch for integration onto our vehicle. Once their payload has beenwe have integrated our vehiclecustomers’ payloads, we will then be prepared for launch. We will then incorporateship our vehicle, holding the customer’scustomer payload fixture, intoto the payload oflaunch site, where it will be integrated onto the rocket. The rocket will then transport our vehicle to the drop-off orbit. At this point, afterAfter separation from the rocket, weour vehicle will initiate deliverytransport our customers’ payloads to the customer’stheir chosen final orbit.
We are designing our water plasma thrusters to enable our vehicle to efficiently transport each customer payload to its respective orbit. We believe that this service will give our clientshub-and-spoke model has the accessibility that rocket providers cannot, aspotential to expand our customers’ deployment

options relative to what they could achieve with ride share launch alone, while reducing their drop-off points are limited. costs relative to what they could achieve with a dedicated small launch vehicle.
Initially, after delivering our customer payloads to their final orbits, our vehicles will de-orbit. However, our plan is to develop the capability for our vehicles to be reusable, such that, upon delivery of the payload, they will be capable of remaining in space to conduct additional missions.
Satellite as a Service (Hosted Payloads)Hosted Payload. In thisWe are designing our transfer vehicles for modularity and ease of integration with customer payloads, and with a full suite of capabilities that our customers will need on orbit. Under our Hosted Payload model, we are developing our payloads such that oncevehicle, after transporting a customer payload is attached, our vehiclesto a specific orbit, would be capable of movingstay connected to the desired orbit and remaining attached topayload for the hosted payloadduration of its mission to provide continuous power, orbit-maintenance,orbit maintenance, orientation, and communications to support telemetry, commanding, and downlinking of payload data,data. Our objective is to offer a higher degree of modularity which we believe has the potential to significantly increase orbital accessibility and/or lower manufacturing costs for the durationa wide range of the mission.satellite operators.
In-Orbit Servicing. We believeview in-orbit servicing of satellites isas a quickly growing business opportunity. As the number of satellites in space increases, so does their need to be serviced. In addition to other services, we are also planningWe plan to design Momentus’ future reusable vehicles to be capable of performing in-orbit servicing and are pursuing development activities that support this objective, such as our plans to demonstrate robotic arm and rendezvous capabilities.objective. Although we are still in the very preliminary stages for developing this technology, our aim is to equip future vehicles with robotic arms and anthe ability to maneuver in close proximity to other spacecraft and dock or berth with them. Once fully developed, we believe these capabilities could allow us to offer a suite of different in-orbit services, such as inspection, refueling, life extension, re-positioning, salvage missions, maintenance and repair, and de-orbiting.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend to a substantial extent on our ability to capitalize on the following opportunities, which in turn is subject to significant risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.Company on March 9, 2022.
In-Space Transport and Service Vehicles and Related Technology Development
Our primary research and development objectives focus on the development of our existing and future in-space transfer and service vehicles and related water plasma propulsion technology.
Vigoride is the first vehicle that Momentus is developing. We are developingOnce fully developed, tested and validated in space, we expect Vigoride with the objectivewill be sufficient to meet our initial operating plan of carryingoffering in-space transportation in LEO to small satellites. Vigoride is intended to transport up to 750 kg of customer payload into Low Earth Orbit (“LEO”), and based onin LEO, although our current product roadmap. We estimate that we may, under certain circumstances, achieve this capability with our fourth generation Vigoride (Block 2.2) vehicles, which we are beginning to build.payload capacity will likely be lower in most common configurations. We have set the delta-v and host power objectives for Vigoride at 2 km/sec and 1 kW, respectively, which we believe we can achieve a few years into our product roadmap. We have entered into a launch services agreement with SpaceX that

secures space for Vigoride on a launch vehicle that SpaceX currently targets operating in June 2022 (see Note 15). as early as May 2022. This would represent the inaugural launch of a complete Momentus vehicle into space and would allow us to further validate Vigoride’s capabilities. While securing space on the manifest is an important step, our plan to launch in JuneMay 2022 remains subject to the receipt of licenses and other government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for flight.This would represent
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch targeted for May 2022. Together with a license from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) received on April 28, 2022, and updates to existing licenses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the “NOAA”), the Company has received all required government approvals required for its inaugural flight. See Note 14.
Beyond our planned May 2022 launch, we are planning to fly Vigoride again in the second half of 2022, subject to receipt of licenses and government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for flight.
Early Vigoride vehicles will not be reusable, meaning that we will de-orbit them following delivery of their customer payloads. However, around the middle of this decade, we plan to make our vehicles capable of reuse such that, upon delivery of their payloads, they will be able to remain in space to conduct follow-on missions. Establishing reusable vehicles will require significant additional research and technological developments. We

believe our choice of water as a complete Momentus vehicle into space,propellant will help with the creation of reusable vehicles because water can be stored without special conditions, other than ensuring lines and wouldtanks do not freeze or become obstructed with ice, for an indefinite amount of time and pumped easily. Additionally, water is safe and non-hazardous relative to commonly used propellants such as cryogenic components and hypergolic toxic fuels for chemical propulsion, or highly pressurized noble gases (such as xenon or krypton) for electrical propulsion. We believe that if we are able to achieve reusability, it will allow us to further validate Vigoride’s capabilities. However, we must secure certain government licenseslower manufacturing and approvals in order to make the planned June launch.

launch costs on a per-ride basis and achieve higher margins and returns for our investors while also reducing our environmental impact.
Beyond Vigoride, we envision bringing two progressively larger vehicles to market, this decade, which we call Ardoride and Fervoride. These vehicles will be based on the same water plasma propulsion technology assimilar to our Vigoride vehicle, but will be designed with larger structures, larger solar arrays, and more powerful propulsion systems in order to carry progressively larger payloads progressively further from Earth.Earth
The successful development of our vehicles with water plasma propulsion technology involves uncertainties, including:
timing in finalizing systems design and specifications;
successful completion of test programs and demonstration missions;
whether we will receive and the timing of receipt of licenses and government approvals that will allow us to fly our vehicles in space and gather valuable data that will assist in further development of our vehicles;
meeting stated technological objectives and goals for the design on time, on budget and within target cost objectives;
our ability to obtain additional applicable approvals, licenses or certifications from regulatory agencies and maintaining current approvals, licenses or certifications;
our ability to secure slots on our launch providers’ manifests;
performance of our manufacturing facility despite risks that disrupt productions, such as natural disasters;
performance of our third-party contractors that support our research and development activities;
performance of a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and supplied components and their willingness to do business with us;
our ability to protect our intellectual property critical to the design and function of our orbital transfer vehicles;
our ability to continue funding and maintaining our current research and development activities;
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us, our customers, suppliers and distributors, and the global economy; and
our ability to comply with the terms of the NSA and any related compliance measures instituted by the Security Director.
A change in the outcome of any of these variables could delay the development of our vehicles which in turn could impact our business and results of operations. Refer to “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.Company on March 9, 2022.
Initial and Successive Launches
Our water plasma propulsion technology (that we are developing) is based on the use of microwave electrothermal or “MET,” thrusters, which we believe could ultimately provide safe, affordable, reliable, and regular in-space services, including Space Transportation, Satellite as a Service,Hosted Payload, and In-Orbit Servicing. To accomplish this, we currently intend to execute on the following strategies:to:
Launch our commercial program for in-space transportation. We currently plan to fly our Vigoride vehicle on a SpaceX Transporter flight as early as JuneMay 2022, subject to receipt of licenses and government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for flight.
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch targeted for May 2022.

Launch our commercial program for In-Orbit Servicing. If we develop reusability for our vehicles as currently contemplated, we believe we will be able to begin offering a suite of different in-orbit services to our clients. Although we have not yet developed these capabilities or the technology that would be required to provide these services, such services may include inspection, refueling, life extension, re-positioning, salvage missions, maintenance and repair, and de-orbiting. As the quantity of satellites sent into space continues to increase, we anticipate growing demand from such services.services.
The success of our in-space infrastructure services business will depend on our ability to successfully and regularly deliver customer satellites into at custom orbits. Our planned Juneinaugural launch is intended to be a demonstration mission. While we plan to taketransport a few paying customer payloads, along, the primary goals of our inaugural mission are to test Vigoride inon orbit and learn from any issues that we may encounter.

Any failures or setbacks, particularly on our inaugural mission, could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Customer Demand
Ahead of our first Vigoride launch, we have received significant interest from a range of satellite operators, satellite manufacturers, satellite aggregators, launch service providers, and others. While we have not recognized any revenue from completed commercial launches through September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had collected approximately $1.6$1.7 million in customer deposits related to future launches. While our standard contracts do not contain refunds or recourse provisions that enable our customers to recover any non-refundable deposits that have been paid, we issued refunds totaling $1.4 million to customers induring the third quarter ending Septemberyear ended December 31, 2021 due to cancelled launches for 2021 in order to foster future business relationships and customer goodwill.
AsBecause our technologies have not yet been fully tested, our service offering to our customers on our inaugural mission will be limited. To reflect this, we expect to provide discounts to customers on this mission relative to the price we intend to eventually charge for our transportation services. During our inaugural mission, we plan to demonstrate Vigoride’s ability to deploy satellites. Once all customer payloads have been released, we plan to perform certain maneuvers and technology demonstrations to validate our technology and establish the potential commercial viability of September 30, 2021, we hadour strategy. This approach limits risk for us as well as for our customers.
We have signed contracts for approximately $65$69 million in backlog (potential revenue). , as of April 30, 2022. These includeagreements contain firm orders as well as optionable contracts.options, allowing customers to opt-in to launches on shorter notice without requiring a separate agreement. The breadth of these signed contracts spans across 25 companies in 15 countries. In general, theour customers have the right to cancel their contracts with the understanding that they will forgo their deposits. The breadth of these signed contracts spans across 25 companies. These agreements also contain options, allowing customers to opt-in to launches on shorter notice without requiring a separate agreement. However, these contracts are cancellable by customers for convenience. If a customer cancels a contract before it is required to pay non-refundable deposits, beginning nine months prior to launch, we may not receive revenue from these orders, except for an initial deposit which is paid at the time the contract is signed. In the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2020,March 31, 2022, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, ofno revenue related to customer cancelled contracts that were not refundable.contracts.
Our backlog is subject to meaningful customer concentration risk. As of April 30, 2022, approximately 70% of the total dollar value of our backlog related to four launch services providers and aggregators of launch services capacity, and their affiliates. The top 10 customers in our backlog represent approximately 95% of the total dollar value of our backlog.
In addition, backlog is typically subject to large variations from quarter to quarter and comparisons of backlog from period to period are not necessarily indicative of future revenues. Furthermore, some contracts comprising the backlog are for services scheduled many years in the future, and the economic viability of customers with whom we have contracted is not guaranteed over time. As a result, the contracts comprising our backlog may not result in actual revenue in any particular period, or at all, and the actual revenue from such contracts may differ from our backlog estimates. The timing of receipt of revenues, if any, on projects included in the backlog could change because many factors affect the scheduling of missions and adjustments to contracts may also occur. The failure to realize some portion of our backlog could adversely affect our revenues and gross margins.

In exchange for their equity interests, the Company initially paid each entity $1, but will additionally pay up to an aggregate of $50,000,000, out of funds legally available therefor, to the Co-Founders, on a pro rata basis, as follows: (i) an aggregate of $40,000,000 to be paid out of funds legally available therefor, within 10 business days after the earlier of (A) a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of no less than $100,000,000 and (B) the Business Combination (the “First Payment Date”); and (ii) an aggregate of $10,000,000 to be paid out of funds legally available therefor, within 10 business days after a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of no less than $250,000,000 (determined without any reduction for the $100,000,000 previously received in respect of the First Payment Date).
As a result of the Business Combination, which generated $247.3 million of gross proceeds (as described in Note 3), the Company paid the Co-Founders $40$40.0 million forin addition to the equity interest purchased.initial consideration paid of $3. The Company recorded the consideration paid as a reduction of common stock and additional paid in capital. Pursuant to the NSA, a portion of those divestment proceeds were placed in escrow accounts, and may not be released to the divested investors until after completion of audit by a third party auditor of the investors compliance with the NSA and the lapse of a 15 day period without an objection from the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies. Following the third party audit of the investors’ NSA compliance, all of the escrowed divestment proceeds were released to the Co-Founders as of March 1, 2022 in accordance with the NSA.
If the Company were to undertake a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $2.7 million or more, the Company would need to pay an aggregate of $10.0 million to the Co-Founders (see Note 11).
The Company evaluated this potential consideration as a liability under ASC 480 utilizing a probability-weighted approach. Certain factors which would enable successful fundraising were considered, including progress toward compliance with the NSA, research and development progress, and agreements with launch providers, resulting in an estimated liability of $6.0 million expected to be paid to the Co-Founders with a corresponding offset to additional paid in capital, as of March 31, 2022.
The payment came from proceeds of the Business Combination and PIPE Investment and therefore reduce the proceeds available to Momentus to fund its operations and capital expenditures going forward.
As part of the Repurchase Agreements, both Messrs. Kokorich and Khasis agreed to a broad waiver and release of all claims (broadly defined) against the Company. The Company has maintained that this release is effective as to various advancement or indemnification claims either individual may have against the Company. Both Messrs. Kokorich and Khasis have, through counsel, disagreed with the Company's position. Absent a negotiated resolution, there is a chance that the parties may litigate the matter. The total cumulative potential exposure for the disputes with both Messrs. Kokorich and Khasis is presently unknown but exceeds $1 million. We express no opinion on the probable outcome of these matters.

Service Revenue
We enter into contracts for ‘last-mile’ satellite and cargo delivery, payload hosting and in-orbit servicing options with customers that are primarily in the aerospace industry. From inception to September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we have not yet completed a commercial launch of customer cargo. However, as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 we have signed contracts with customers and have collected approximately $1.6$1.7 million in customer deposits, which are recorded as current and non-current contract liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in the collected amountThe Company’s first launch with customers is currently anticipated to occur as early as May 2022, subject to receipt of licenses and government approvals, and successful

are $1.6 millioncompletion of non-current deposits which relatedour current efforts to get the system ready for flight. While a portion of the deposit balance relates to performance obligations not expectedthat may be satisfied over the next 12 months, the Company will classify customer deposits as non-current until the inaugural launch date is reasonably assured.
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch targeted for May 2022. Together with a license from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) received on April 28, 2022, and updates to be completedexisting licenses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the “NOAA”), the Company has received all required government approvals required for at least one year.its inaugural flight. See Note 14.
The Company will recognize revenue (along with any other fees that have been paid) upon the earlier of the satisfaction of our performance obligation or when the customer cancels the contract. While the Company’s standard contracts do not contain refund or recourse provisions that enable its customers to recover any non-refundable fees that have been paid, the Company may issue full or partial refunds to customers on a case-by-case basis as necessary to preserve and foster future business relationships and customer goodwill. As a result of the Company’s inability to complete any launches in 2021 (refer to Note 4 for additional information), the Company issued customer refunds of $1.4 million to customers during the three months ending September 30,year ended December 31, 2021.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses associated with the cost of the orbital transfer vehicle and third-party launch costs. Until the orbital transfer vehicle design is completed and released for production, the cost of these orbital transfer vehicles is being expensed as research and development costs as materials and services are received. The current design and technology allow for a single use of the orbital transfer vehicle.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures consist primarily of the cost for the following activities for developing existing and future technologies for our vehicles. Research and development activities include basic research, applied research, design, development, and related test program activities. Costs incurred for developing our vehicles primarily include equipment, material, and labor hours (both internal and subcontractors).

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we have expensed all research and development costs associated with developing and building our vehicles. Once we have achieved technological feasibility and released the design for volume production, we will capitalize the costs to construct any additional components for the vehicles. We expect to continue to see an increase in our research and development expenses as we develop our next generation of vehicles.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of human capital related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including executive management and administration, accounting, finance, tax, legal, information technology, security, sales, marketing, and human resources; depreciation expense and rent relating to facilities, and equipment; professional fees; and other general corporate costs. Headcount-related expenses primarily include salaries, bonuses, equity compensation expense and benefits. As we continue to grow as a company, we expect that our selling, general and administrative costs will increase on an absolute dollar basis.
We also expecthave begun to incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses necessary to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange and related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC as well as to comply with the National Security Agreement.NSA.
Interest Income

Income Tax Provision
We are subject to income taxes in the United States. Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax laws.

Table of Contents
The effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period and can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to the statutory rates in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily relates to certain nondeductible items, state and local income taxes and a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Spending on components, materials, and other costs also increased costs incurred to develop our vehicles (including prototype and research material inputs,by $0.4 million. The increase was offset by a $0.8 million reduction in subcontracted research and development subcontractors) and payroll expenses. Headcount related costs increased by $2.5 million (including $0.02 million increase in non-cash share based compensation expense), as we increased our full time research and development employees from 44 to 97 to support the ramp up of research and development efforts. The ramp was also supported by increased subcontractor spending of $0.7 million as well as increased overheadsan $0.8 million impairment of $0.5 million driven by costs associated with our new facility, which we began leasing on January 1,a prepaid launch deposit specific to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

enhance and scale our sales and marketing function;
scale up our manufacturing capabilities increasing facility footprint, purchasing additional manufacturing equipment;
pursue further research and development related to developing our next generation vehicles;
seek regulatory approvals for changes or updates to our vehicles;
hire additional personnel;
implement measures required under the NSA and seek to comply with the NSA’s requirements;
maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and
comply with public company reporting requirementsrequirements.
We expect that our current cash and cash equivalents, our projected gross profit (revenue less cost of revenue), and additional funding from equity or debt financings will enable us to fund an anticipated operating expenses, research and development expenses and capital expenditures beyond the next 12 months. Additionally, we believe that the

payments in the form of non-refundable deposits we receive from our customers prior to launch will provide sufficient funding and liquidity to support costs incurred related to that mission.

We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. For example, the research and development, volume production, launch and in orbit operation of our vehicles have unpredictable costs and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, that may affect the timing and magnitude of these anticipated expenditures. Some of these risks and uncertainties are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K

Although we believe that our current capital is adequate to sustain our operations for a period of time, changing circumstances may cause us to expend capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, or we may need to spend more money than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Co-Founder Divestment and Share Repurchase
In accordance with the NSA and pursuant to certain Repurchase Agreements entered into with the Company, effective as of June 8, 2021, each of Mr. Kokorich, Nortrone Finance S.A. and Brainyspace LLC (collectively “the Co-Founders”) sold 100% of their respective equity interests in the Company on June 30, 2021. In exchange for their equity interests, the Company initially paid each entity $1, but will additionally pay up to an aggregate of $50,000,000, out of funds legally available therefor, to the Co-Founders, on a pro rata basis, as follows: (i) an aggregate of $40,000,000 to be paid out of funds legally available therefor, within 10 business days after the earlier of (A) a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of no less than $100,000,000 and (B) the Business Combination (the “First Payment Date”); and (ii) an aggregate of $10,000,000 to be paid out of funds legally available therefor, within 10 business days after a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of no less than $250,000,000 (determined without any reduction for the $100,000,000 previously received in respect of the First Payment Date).
As a result of the Business Combination, which generated $247.3 million of gross proceeds (as described in Note 3), the Company paid the Co-Founders $40.0 million in addition to the initial consideration paid of $3. The Company recorded the consideration paid as a reduction of common stock and additional paid in capital. Pursuant to the NSA, a portion of those divestment proceeds were placed in escrow accounts, and may not be released to the divested investors until after completion of audit by a third party auditor of the investors compliance with the NSA and the lapse of a 15 day period without an objection from the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies. Following the third party audit of the investors’ NSA compliance, all of the escrowed divestment proceeds were released to the Co-Founders as of March 1, 2022 in accordance with the NSA.
If the Company were to undertake a business combination or capital raising transaction or series of transactions (whether in the form of debt or equity) resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $2.7 million or more, the Company would need to pay an aggregate of $10.0 million to the Co-Founders.
The Company evaluated this potential consideration as a liability under ASC 480 utilizing a probability-weighted approach. Certain factors which would enable successful fundraising were considered, including progress toward compliance with the NSA, research and development progress, and agreements with launch providers, resulting in an estimated liability of $6.0 million expected to be paid to the Co-Founders with a corresponding offset to additional paid in capital, as of March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 11.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Table of Contents
We do not engage in any off-balance sheet activities or have any arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities, such as variable interest, special purpose, and structured finance entities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments as of the balance sheet date that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates as disclosed in the Company’s most recent Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed on July 21, 2021.

Revenue Recognition
We enter into short-term contracts for ‘last-mile’ satellite and cargo delivery, payload hosting and in-orbit servicing options with customers that are primarily in the aerospace industry. From inception to September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we have not completed a commercial launch of customer cargo and as a result, have not recognized revenue related to performance obligations to date. However, as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 we have signed contracts with customers and have collected approximately $1.6$1.7 million in customer deposits, which are recorded as non-current contract liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Companysheet and will recognizebe recognized as revenue (along with any other feesfess that have been paid) upon the earlier of the satisfaction of our performance obligation or when the customer cancels the contract. While the Company’s standard contracts do not contain refund or recourse provisions that enable its customers to recover any non-refundable fees that have been paid, the Company may issue full or partial refunds to customers on a case-by-case basis as necessary to preserve and foster future business relationships and customer goodwill. As a result of the Company’s inability to complete any launches in 2021 (refer to Note 4in our condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 for additional information), the Company issued customer refunds of approximately $1.4 million during the third quarter, ended September 30, 2021.
We account for customer contracts in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which includes the following five-step model:
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
Determination of the transaction price.
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Our contracts are cancellable for convenience by the customer and typically do not contain variable consideration. However, the full transaction price is collected in advance of the scheduled launch and all fees that are paid are non-refundable (and are not limited to deposits), regardless if the contract is cancelled by the customer or in the event a performance obligation is not satisfied by us. While the Company’s standard contracts do not contain refund or recourse provisions, the Company may issue full or partial refunds to customers on a case-by-case basis as necessary to preserve and foster future business relationships and customer goodwill. As a result of the Company’s inability to complete any launches in 2021 (refer to Note 4 for additional information), the Company issued customer refunds of $1.4 million to customers during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Our services are considered a single performance obligation, to transport the customer’scustomers’ payload to a specified orbit in space. We recognize revenue at a point in time when control is transferred, which is considered to be upon the release of the customer’scustomers’ payload into its specified orbit. We will calculate the weight distribution of each orbital transfer vehicle at the customer level, and we will estimate the delivery date for each customer’s payload based on the relative weight of payloads released to determine the point in time to recognize revenue for each payload release.
In periods in which we recognize revenue, we will disclose the amounts of revenue recognized that was included as a contract liability balance at the beginning of the reporting period in accordance with ASC 606-10-50-8(b).
Loss Contingencies
We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, including product-related and other litigation. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required. Refer to Note 12.
Deferred Fulfillment and Prepaid Launch Costs
We prepay for certain launch costs to third party providers that will carry the orbital transfer vehicle to orbit. Prepaid costs allocated to the delivery of a customer’s payload are classified as deferred fulfillment costs and recognized as
45

Table of Contents
cost of revenue upon delivery of the customer’s payload. Prepaid costs allocated to our payload are classified as prepaid launch costs and are amortized to research and development expense upon the release of our payload. The allocation is determined based on the distribution between customer and our payload weight on each launch. During the nine months ended September 30,
On May 21, 2021, the Company determined that prepayments it had made toward launches in 2021 would not be recoverable due to the denied FAA application and related noticereceived notification from one of its launch service providers.providers that it was terminating 2 launch service agreements for flights scheduled during calendar year 2021 and that they considered the Company to be in default of prior payments totaling $8.7 million. The Company believed the prepayments would be non-recoverable as this was the third time the payload was rescheduled. As a result of the notification from one of its launch service providers, the Company impairedrecorded an impairment charge of $8.7 million of prepaid launch costs of $8.7 million. See Note 4 in our condensed consolidated interim financial statements forduring the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021. There was an unrelated impairment of $0.8 million the three months ended March 31, 2021.
On October 12, 2021, the Company began discussions with the same launch service provider about reestablishing a future launch schedule. As a result of the discussion, the Company signed a Launch Services Agreement on October 19, 2021 that reserves space on an upcoming launch, which is targeted for May 2022. While securing space on the manifest is an important step, our plan to launch in May 2022 remains subject to the receipt of licenses and 2020other government approvals, and successful completion of our current efforts to get the system ready for additional information. See Note 15 for more information about the potential recovery of a portionflight. The Company determined that $2.7 million of the impaired deposits were potentially recoverable in connection with the reestablished schedule. The Company did not record any adjustments as a result of the discussions. See Note 4.
On May 4, 2022, as a subsequent event, the Company received a favorable determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) of its application for payload review in support of the Company’s inaugural flight of the Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle on the launch costs.targeted for May 2022. Together with a license from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) received on April 28, 2022, and updates to existing licenses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the “NOAA”), the Company has received all required government approvals required for its inaugural flight. See Note 14.
Contract Liabilities
Customer deposits collected prior to the release of the customer’s payload into its specified orbit are recorded as current and non-current contract liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as the amounts received represent a prepayment for the satisfaction of a future performance obligation that has not yet commenced. Each

non-refundable deposit is determined to be a contract liability upon cash collection. Prior to making this determination, we ensure that a valid contract is in place that meets the definition of the existence of a contract in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-1 and 2.
Stock-based Compensation
We have various stock incentive plans under which incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards are granted to employees, directors, and consultants. All stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options are recognized in the financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values.
We recognize stock-based compensation expense using a fair value-based method for costs related to all stock-based payments. We estimate the fair value of stock-based payments on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The model requires management to make a number of assumptions, including expected volatility of our stock, expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The fair value of the stock is expensed over the related service period which is typically the vesting period. The stock-based compensation expense that is reported in our financial statements is based on awards that are expected to vest. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
Estimating the fair value of equity awards as of the grant date using valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, is affected by assumptions regarding a number of variables as disclosed above, and any changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. See Note 10 in our financial statements included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus11 for the specific assumptions we used in applying the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of our stock options and awards granted in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and Note 11 in our condensed consolidated interim financial statements forduring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020.March 31, 2022.
We expect our share-based compensation cost will increase to the extent that we grant additional stock option awards to employees and non-employees. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate any remaining unearned share-based compensation cost or incur

incremental cost. Share-based compensation cost affects our research and development expenses and selling, general, and administrative expenses.
SAFE Notes
We issued SAFE notes to investors which were converted to shares of common stock in connection with the Business Combination. Prior to conversion, we determined that the SAFE notes were not a legal form of debt (i.e., no creditors’ rights). The SAFE notes included a provision allowing for cash redemption upon the consummation of a change of control, the occurrence of which is outside the control of the Company. Therefore, we classified SAFE notes as liabilities as they were redeemable upon a change of control event which is not within the control of the Company. SAFE notes were recorded at fair value, and were subject to remeasurement through earnings at each balance sheet date until the date of their respective settlement and classified as marked-to-market liabilities pursuant to ASC 480.
We determined the estimated fair value of the SAFE notes by applying a Backsolve method within the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model. This methodology effectively allowed us to solve for the implied value of the business based on the terms of the SAFE investments (i.e. the value of the company, such that when allocated to the various securities, the value allocated to the SAFE investment equals the price the investor paid for such SAFE instrument).
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which requires the use of the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be reversed.
Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies.
42

Table of Contents
In the event that management changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
We are required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing ourits tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the “more likely than not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount that is initially recognized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Please refer to Note 2 in our financial statements included in Form 10-Q for a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted, the timing of their adoptions and our assessment, to the extent we have made one, of their potential impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market RiskITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, and inflation, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events, and specific asset risks.
Interest Rate Risk
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $178.1$135.6 million,
47


which are primarily invested in highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less. However, due to the short-term maturities and the low-risk profile of our investments, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash and cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Risk
There waswere no material foreign currency transactions for the three and ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021. Currently, a significant portion of our cash receipts and expenses are generated in U.S. dollars.
Internal Control Over Financial ReportingITEM 4. INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, thatthe company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Based on thethis evaluation, of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
ForChanges in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the threefiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and15d-15 under the year ended December 31, 2020,Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our management has concluded that theinternal control over financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, ourreporting.
