Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings which, by their nature, may be inherently unpredictable and which could have a material effect in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company was not aware of any additional pending, or threatened, governmental actions or legal proceedings to which the Company is, or will be, a party that, if successful, would result in a material impact to its business or financial condition or results of operations.
Other Contingencies
The Company analyzed its unique facts and circumstances related to potential obligations in a certain state jurisdiction, including the delivery nature of its prior year intercompany services, payroll and other benefits-related services, current shared services between the parent and subsidiaries, and changing state laws and interpretations of those laws, and has determined that the Company may have an indirect tax obligation.
The Company has continued correspondence with the applicable authorities in an effort toward identifying a taxpayer-favorable resolution of the potential liabilities. The Company has recognized a liability including interest and penalties based on its best estimate as of March 31, 2022.
The following table summarizes the estimated indirect tax liability activity during the three months ended March 31, 2022:
(in thousands)
Balance, January 1, 2022 $ 737 
Payments — 
Adjustment to Expense — 
Balance, March 31, 2022 $ 737 
The Company continues to analyze the additional obligations it may have, if any, and it will adjust the liability accordingly.
Other Commitments
The Company has commitments for multi-launch and integration services with launch services providers. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a commitment for 2 launches, to include up to 4 satellites at future estimated launch dates for $4.3 million with an option for additional launches. The terms of the arrangement also allows for the Company to remanifest the satellites if significant delays in excess of 365 days or other
inexcusable delays occur with the provider. Subsequent to remanifest efforts four months after the 365 days, the Company can request a refund of all recoverable costs. Payment terms are 15 days from invoice date.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has a remaining commitment of $4.2 million on its satellite purchase contract with LeoStella. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, the Company executed a contract modification reducing the remaining commitment by $3.6 million. The delivery schedule for the components are not specified and is subject to certain engineering milestones. Payment terms are 15 days from invoice date.
We did not enter into any material commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
