Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Intuitive Machines, Inc.(formerly known as Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. or “IPAX”), collectively with its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “IM,” “Intuitive Machines,” “we,” “us” or “our”) designs, manufactures and operates space products and services. Intuitive Machines’ near-term focus is to create and operate space systems and space infrastructure on and in the vicinity of the Moon that enable scientific and human exploration and utilization of lunar resources to support sustainable human presence on the Moon and exploration to Mars and beyond. Intuitive Machines offers its customers the flexibility needed to pioneer a thriving and diverse lunar economy designed to enable a permanent presence in lunar orbit and on the lunar surface. IM is currently headquartered in Houston, Texas.
Intuitive Machines, Inc. was a blank check company originally incorporated on January 27, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On September 24, 2021, IPAX consummated an initial public offering, after which its securities began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).
IPAX Business Combination
On September 16, 2022, IPAX entered into a certain Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and between IPAX and Intuitive Machines, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (formerly, a Texas limited liability company). On February 10, 2023, IPAX filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which IPAX was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Intuitive Machines, Inc.”
On February 13, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Intuitive Machines, Inc. and Intuitive Machines, LLC consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) and related transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. As a result of the Transactions, all of the issued and outstanding common units of Intuitive Machines, LLC were converted into common stock of Intuitive Machines, Inc. using an exchange ratio of 0.5562 shares of Intuitive Machines, Inc. common stock per each unit of Intuitive Machines, LLC Common Unit. In addition, Intuitive Machines, LLC’s share-based compensation plan and related share-based compensation awards were exchanged or converted, as applicable, into common stock of Intuitive Machines, Inc.
In connection with the Transactions, the Company was reorganized into an Up-C structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of the Company are held by Intuitive Machines, LLC and continue to operate through Intuitive Machines, LLC and its subsidiaries. Intuitive Machines, Inc. is a holding company whose only material asset is its equity ownership interests of Intuitive Machines, LLC. While Intuitive Machines, LLC became a subsidiary of Intuitive Machines, Inc. and Intuitive Machines, Inc. was appointed as its managing member, Intuitive Machines, LLC was deemed to be the acquirer in the Business Combination for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in which case the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the Intuitive Machines, LLC and the issuance of common stock in exchange for the net assets of Intuitive Machines, Inc. was recorded at historical cost with no recognition of goodwill or other intangible assets. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Intuitive Machines, LLC. In addition, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price of, the Company’s outstanding options were adjusted to reflect the Business Combination. The treatment of the Business Combination as a reverse recapitalization was based upon the pre-merger members of Intuitive Machines, LLC holding the majority of the voting interests of Intuitive Machines, Inc., Intuitive Machines, LLC’s existing management team serving as the initial management team of Intuitive Machines, Inc., Intuitive Machines, LLC’s appointment of the majority of the initial board of directors of Intuitive Machines, Inc., and the significance of Intuitive Machines, LLC’s operations prior to the Business Combination which represent the entirety of Company’s operations.
In connection with the Business Combination, approximately $34.1 million of cash held in trust, net of redemptions by IPAX’s public shareholders, became available for use by the Company as well as proceeds received from the contemporaneous sale of preferred stock in connection with the closing of a PIPE investment. In addition, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement, dated September 16, 2022 (the “Cantor Purchase Agreement”) relating to an equity facility under which shares of newly issued Intuitive Machines Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) may be sold to CF Principal Investments LLC (“CFPI”), at the Company’s discretion, up to the lesser of (i.) $50.0 million and (ii) the “exchange cap” specified therein, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set for in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. Beginning on February 14, 2023, the Company’s
Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase the Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”) began trading on Nasdaq under the symbols “LUNR” and “LUNRW,” respectively.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intuitive Machines, the accounts of Intuitive Aviation Inc. (“IA” or “Intuitive Aviation”), a wholly owned subsidiary, Space Network Solutions, LLC (“SNS” or “Space Network Solu tions”) a majority-owned subsidiary, and IX, LLC, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial state ments should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. Management’s opinion is that all adjustments for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments have been appropriately disclosed.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company did not opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an EGC, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, other factors, including the current economic environment, and various other judgments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future reporting periods.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. All of the Company’s assets are maintained in the United States. The Company has determined that it operates inone operating segment andone reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. By their nature, all such financial instruments involve risks, including the credit risk of nonperformance by counterparties.
The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions. Certain account balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits of $250,000 per account. The Company generally does not require collateral to support the obligations of the counterparties and cash levels held at banks are more than federally insured limits. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with highly rated financial institutions. The Company has not experienced material losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to whom it grants credit terms in the normal course of its business. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on known collection risks and historical experience. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial downgrading of credit ratings), the Company records a specific allowance for expected credit losses against amounts to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected and revenue recognition is deferred until the amount is collected and the contract is completed. For all other customers, the Company records allowances for credit losses based on the specific analysis of the customer’s ability to pay on an as needed basis.
Major customers are defined as those individually comprising more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. There was one major customer that accounted for 90% and 92%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and accounted for 67% and 70%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The largest customer’s accounts receivable balance was 73% and 80% as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Major suppliers are defined as those individually comprising more than 10% of the annual goods or services purchased. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was one major supplier that accounted for 20% and 34%, respectively, of the goods and services purchased, and no major supplier for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. As of June 30, 2024, there was one major supplier that accounted for 17% of the accounts payable balance andno major supplier as of December 31, 2023 with an accounts payable balance representing more than 10%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and related notes were prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $31.6 million and a working capital deficit of $1.9 million. The Company has historically funded its operations through internally generated cash on hand, proceeds from sales of its capital stock including the execution of SAFE Agreements, our At The Market Offering program (the “ATM” Program) with Cantor (as described below), proceeds from warrant exercises, and proceeds from the issuance of bank debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received approximately $78.8 million in gross proceeds from warrant exercises, sales of stock under our ATM program and other equity transactions, as further described in Notes 7 and 8.
In connection with the Business Combination as discussed in Notes 1 and 7, the Company entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company may direct CFPI, at the Company’s discretion, to purchase up to the lesser of (i) $50.0 million of newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) the “exchange cap” specified therein, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the agreement. Additionally, in April 2024, the Company and Cantor entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement with Cantor acting as the Company’s exclusive sales agent for the sale of newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate proceeds up to $100.0 million, as further described in Note 7. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company raised approximately $17.0 million in net proceeds pursuant to the ATM Program, followed by an additional raise of $4.1 million in net proceeds in early July 2024.
Management believes that the cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, and the additional liquidity available with the Cantor Purchase Agreement and Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement discussed in Note 7, will be sufficient to fund the short-term liquidity needs and the execution of the business plan through at least the twelve-month period from the date the financial statements are issued.
Transaction Costs
Business Combination
Transaction costs consist of direct legal, consulting, audit and other fees related to the consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions as described further in Note 1. These costs were initially capitalized as incurred and recorded as prepaid expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $5.3 million as of December 31, 2022. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, transaction costs directly related to the issuance of shares were netted against the proceeds from the merger and recorded as an offset in additional paid-in capital upon consummation of the transactions. Total transaction costs charged to additional paid in capital were approximately $24.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Approximately, $9.4 million in transaction costs were paid by Intuitive Machines, LLC during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The remaining difference was paid by Intuitive Machines, LLC in 2022 or by IPAX prior to the closing of the Business Combination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 requires a public business entity to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. For public business entities, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continue to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods or may apply the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all period presented. The Company is assessing the potential impact of adopting the ASU on its financial statements.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets primarily relate to deferred contract costs for subcontracted launch services, as well as work completed not yet billed for performance obligations that are satisfied over time. Deferred contract costs and unbilled receivables are recorded contract assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets related to deferred contract costs are amortized straight-line across the life of the long-term service arrangement. Contract assets related to work completed for performance obligations that are satisfied over time are transferred to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to billings or consideration received in advance of performance (obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer) under the contract as well as provisions for loss contracts. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation has been performed. Current deferred revenue and provisions for loss contracts are recorded in current contract liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Long-term deferred revenue and provisions for loss contracts are recorded in long-term contract liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table presents contract assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):
| June 30,2024 | December 31,2023 | |

| Deferred contract costs | $6,054 | $343 |
| Unbilled receivables | 1,270 | 6,146 |

Revenue recognized from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $4.4 million and $27.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Loss Contracts
Contract losses are a result of constraining variable consideration and estimated contract costs exceeding current contract price. The Company experiences favorable or unfavorable changes to contract losses from time to time due to changes in estimated contract costs and modifications that result in changes to contract price. We recorded (favorable) and unfavorable changes in net losses related to contracts with customers of $19.4 million and $11.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and $7.0 million and $13.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2024, the status of these loss contracts was as follows:
The first contract, for lunar payload services, became a loss contract in 2019 due to the constraint of variable consideration. The contract was successfully completed in February 2024. As a result of the successful mission, previously constrained variable consideration of $12.3 million as of December 31, 2023 was released and approximately$11.6 million was recognized as revenue during the first quarter of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, changes in estimated contract costs resulted in (favorable) and unfavorable changes of $(6.7) million and $5.1 million contract loss, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the contract loss provision recorded in contract liabilities, current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $10 thousand.
The second contract, for lunar payload services, became a loss contract in 2021 due to the constraint of variable consideration and estimated contract costs exceeding current contract price. Variable consideration has been constrained to $0 from a total potential amount of $8.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, changes in estimated contract costs resulted in an additional $10.9 million and $1.8 million in contract loss, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, and 2023, this contract was approximately 59% complete and 48% complete, respectively. The period of performance for this contract currently runs through June 2026 as a result of ongoing discussions with the customer and pending modifications to the contract. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract loss provision recorded in contract liabilities, current was $9.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, and $3.3 million andzero, respectively, in contract liabilities, non-current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The third contract, for lunar payload services, became a loss contract in 2022 due to the constraint of variable consideration and estimated contract costs exceeding current contract price. Variable consideration has been constrained to $0 from a total potential amount of $13.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, changes in estimated contract costs resulted in an additional $6.7 million and $5.9 million in contract loss, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 this contract was approximately 87% complete. The period of performance for this contract currently runs through August 2025 as a result of modifications to the contract. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract loss provision recorded in contract liabilities, current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $3.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
The remaining loss contracts are individually and collectively immaterial.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the remaining transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining fixed price performance obligations was $94.6 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 45-50% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 6 months,50-55% in 2025 and the remaining thereafter. Remaining performance obligations do not include variable consideration that was determined to be constrained as of June 30, 2024.
For time and materials contracts and cost reimbursable contracts, we have adopted the practical expedient that allows us to recognize revenue based on our right to invoice; therefore, we do not report unfulfilled performance obligations for time and materials agreements.

In July 2022, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Live Oak Banking Company which provided an $8.0 million credit mobilization facility with a loan maturity of July 14, 2024. The Credit Mobilization Facility bears interest (payable monthly) at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal newspaper, plus 2.0% and (b)5.0% and requires the Company to meet certain financial and other covenants and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. There was $3.0 million and $8.0 million outstanding under the Credit Mobilization Facility as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company paid $5.0 million during the second quarter of 2024 and paid the remaining $3.0 million in July 2024 on the Credit Mobilization Facility and the facility has been terminated.
Bridge Loan
On January 10, 2024, the Company entered into a series of loan documents with Pershing LLC, an affiliate of Bank of New York Mellon, pursuant to which Pershing LLC agreed to an extension of credit in an amount not to exceed $10.0 million to the Company (the “Bridge Loan”). Borrowings under the Bridge Loan bear interest at the target interest rate set by the Federal Open Market Committee (“Fed Funds Rate”), subject to a 5.5% floor, plus a margin. For borrowings, the applicable rate margin is 0.9%. The $10.0 million in borrowings are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes must be repaid by February 22, 2024.
The Bridge Loan included guarantees (the “Credit Support Guarantees”) by Ghaffarian Enterprises, LLC (an affiliate of Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian) (“Ghaffarian Enterprises” or “Guarantor”) and documentation by which Ghaffarian Enterprises, LLC supported such Credit Support Guarantees with collateral including marketable securities (the “Credit Support”), in each case in favor of the lender for the benefit of the Company. On January 10, 2024, the Company and Ghaffarian Enterprises entered into a credit support fee and subrogation agreement, where the Company agreed to pay a support fee of $148 thousand for the Credit Support.
On January 29, 2024, the Bridge Loan was repaid in full as a result of $10.0 million in contributions from the Guarantor under the Bridge Loan Conversion transaction further described in Note 7.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company is a corporation and thus is subject to United States (“U.S.”) federal, state and local income taxes. Intuitive Machines, LLC is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore does not pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Instead, the Intuitive Machines, LLC unitholders, including the Company, are liable for U.S. federal income tax on their respective shares of Intuitive Machines, LLC’s taxable income. Intuitive Machines, LLC is liable for income taxes in those states which tax entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a combined U.S. federal and state expense for income taxes ofzero, and our combined U.S. federal and state income tax rates were 0.0%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a combined U.S. federal and state expense for income taxes of $3.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and our effective combined U.S. federal and state income tax rates were (23.1%) and 6.3%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to deferred taxes for which no benefit is being recorded and losses attributable to noncontrolling interest unitholders that are taxable on their respective share of taxable income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to Intuitive Machines, LLC's status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
In conjunction with the consummation of the Transactions, Intuitive Machines, Inc. entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “TRA”). Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will generally be required to pay the TRA Holders 85% of the amount of the cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local taxes that are based on, or measured with respect to, net income or profits, and any interest related thereto that the Company (and applicable consolidated, unitary, or combined subsidiaries thereof, if any and collectively the “Tax Group”) realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of certain tax attributes (the “Tax Attributes”), including:
tax basis adjustments resulting from taxable exchanges of Intuitive Machines, LLC Common Units (including any such adjustments resulting from certain payments made by the Company under the TRA) acquired by the Company from a TRA Holder pursuant to the terms of the Second A&R Operating Agreement;
tax deductions in respect of portions of certain payments made under the TRA.
The TRA remains in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Company exercises its rights to terminate the TRA or in the case of a change in control of the Company or a material breach of the Company's obligations under the TRA, at which time all obligations under the TRA will be accelerated and become payable for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits. The resulting TRA amount from an early termination would be material to the financial statements, but due to the contingent nature of such early termination the amount cannot be estimated at this time. No notice of early termination has been given and the Company is not aware of any events in the foreseeable future that would give rise to an early termination of the TRA.
Based primarily on historical losses of Intuitive Machines, Inc., management has determined it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be unable to utilize its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA; therefore, management applies a full valuation allowance to deferred tax asset for a corresponding liability under the TRA related to the tax savings the Company may realize from the utilization of tax deductions related to basis adjustments created by the transactions in the Business Combination Agreement. The TRA is unrecognized. Due to the fact that the Company's deferred tax assets and corresponding TRA liability are unrecognized, changes to the TRA liability had no impact on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

In conjunction with the closing of the Business Combination, on February 13, 2023, the Company assumed a total of 23,332,500 warrants to purchaseone share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Of the warrants,16,487,500 Public Warrants were originally issued in the IPAX initial public offering (the “IPO”) and 6,845,000 private warrants (the “Private Warrants”) were originally issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO.

The warrants became exercisable 30 days after the closing of the Business Combination and will expire five years after the closing of the Business Combination.
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that the Private Warrants may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the closing of the Business Combination. The Public Warrants and Private Warrants do not entitle the holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to exercise.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants, in whole or in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of redemption and if, and only if, the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise pursuant to any anti-dilution adjustments) for any 20 days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The number of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to certain increases in outstanding Class A Common Stock including any share capitalization payable, sub-division of shares or other similar events.
During six months ended June 30, 2024,101 Public Warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Preferred Investor Warrants include customary cash and cashless exercise provisions and may be exercised on a cashless basis if, at any time after thesix month anniversary of the Closing Date, there is not an effective registration statement with respect to the Class A Common Stock. The Preferred Investor Warrants have the same terms and conditions as the Public Warrants. The Preferred Investor Warrants do not entitle the holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to exercise.

In consideration for the immediate and full exercise of the Initial Series B Warrant, the existing investor received (i) a new unregistered Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,705,883 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.75 per share and a term of 5.5 years (the “New Series A Warrant”) and (ii) a new unregistered Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,705,883 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.75 per share and a term of 18 months (the “New Series B Warrant”), collectively, (the “New Warrants”), in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In connection with the Warrant Exercise Agreement, the Company also agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Initial Series B Warrant from $4.75 to $2.50 per share and reduced the exercise price of a warrant to purchase up to 4,705,883 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Initial Series A Warrant”) from $4.75 to $2.75 per share.
As a result of the modifications to the 4,705,883 Initial Series A Warrant and the 4,705,883 Initial Series B Warrant, collectively (the “Initial Warrants”), the Company recognized an unfavorable change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1.2 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Upon the immediate exercise of the 4,705,883 Initial Series B Warrants, the Company issued 4,705,883 shares of Class A Common Stock, received cash proceeds of approximately $11.8 million and recognized a gain on issuance of securities of approximately $1.3 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The New Series A Warrant and New Series B Warrant were immediately exercisable and have a term of 5.5 years and 18 months, respectively. The Company evaluated the terms of the New Warrants and determined they meet the criteria in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, to be classified as a derivative liability, initially measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The New Series A Warrant and New Series B Warrant had an initial fair value of $10.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, which was recorded as a $16.6 million loss on issuance of securities in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Subsequently, the Purchaser exercised 4,705,883 Initial Series A Warrants,4,705,883 New Series A Warrants and 4,705,883 New Series B Warrants during the period from February 9, 2024 to February 23, 2024. As a result, the Company issued 14,117,649 shares of Class A Common Stock and received cash proceeds of approximately $38.8 million. The Company recorded a loss on issuance of securities of approximately $47.9 million as a result of these warrant exercises.
Conversion Warrants
In connection with the January 2024 Bridge Loan Conversion discussed further in Note 7, the Company agreed to issue to the Guarantor, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, (i) a new unregistered Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,150,780 shares of, at the Guarantor’s election, Class A Common Stock (at an exercise price per share equal to $2.57 per share), Class C Common Stock (at an exercise price per share equal to $0.0001 per share), or a combination thereof, and a term of 5 years, (the “Conversion Series A Warrant”) and (ii) a new unregistered Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,150,780 shares of, at the Guarantor’s election, Class A Common Stock (at an exercise price per share equal to $2.57 per share), Class C Common Stock (at an exercise price per share equal to $0.0001 per share), or a combination thereof, and a term of 18 months(the “Conversion Series B Warrant”), collectively (the “Conversion Warrants”). On May 31, 2024, the Guarantor assigned the Conversion Warrants to a third party investor in a private transaction. Pursuant to the assignment to a third party investor, the Conversion Warrants are no longer exercisable for Class C Common Stock. All other terms related to the Conversion Warrants remain the same as previously discussed. Pursuant to the guidance under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company determined that the Conversion Warrants should be recorded as liabilities as of the issuance date and March 31, 2024 and subsequently determined that they meet the criteria in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, to be classified as a derivative liability as of May 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, initially measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations.
The Conversion Series A Warrant and Conversion Series B Warrant had an initial fair value of $10.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The gross proceeds of $10.0 million from the Letter Agreement were allocated to the Conversion Warrants resulting in a loss on the transaction of approximately $5.5 million recognized as loss on issuance of securities in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the Conversion Series A Warrant and Conversion Series B Warrant increased to approximately $10.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, resulting in a loss of approximately $0.6 million recognized as change in fair value of warrant liabilities in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
During June 2024, the investor exercised 300,000 Conversion Series B Warrants resulting in the issuance of an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock and cash proceeds to the Company of $0.8 million. The Company recorded a gain on issuance of securities of approximately $0.6 million as a result of these warrant exercises.

Earn-out Liabilities
The fair value of the earn-out liabilities as of June 30, 2024 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach that modeled the triggering events including the simulated stock price of the Company over the maturity dates. The significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the earn-out liabilities include: (i) Intuitive Machines stock price of $3.30; (ii) a dividend yield of 0.0%; (iii) a risk-free rate of 4.36%; and (iv) expected volatility of 85%.
As a result of the Business Combination, certain Intuitive Machines, LLC members received 10,000,000 earn out units of Intuitive Machines, LLC (“Earn Out Units”) subject to certain triggering events. Upon the vesting of any Earn Out Units, each of the certain Intuitive Machines, LLC members will be issued (i) by Intuitive Machines, LLC an equal number of Intuitive Machines, LLC Common Units and (ii) by Intuitive Machines, an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock, in exchange for surrender of the applicable Earn Out Units and the payment to Intuitive Machines, Inc. of a per-share price equal to the par value per share of the Class C Common Stock. Under the earn out agreement, Earn Out Units of 2,500,000 vested for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there wasno vesting of Earn Out Units.

NOTE 11 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Class A common shareholders for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2024, the three months ended June 30, 2023, and the period from February 13, 2023, or the Closing Date, to June 30, 2023 by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the same periods.
Diluted net income per share of Class A common stock includes additional weighted average common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued using the if-converted method for the Series A Preferred Stock and the treasury method for our RSUs, PSUs, options, and warrants.

NOTE 14 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company determines whether joint ventures in which it has invested meet the criteria of a variable interest entity or “VIE” at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. A VIE is a legal entity that satisfies any of the following characteristics: (a) the legal entity does not have sufficient equity investment at risk; (b) the equity investors at risk as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (c) the legal entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights.
The Company consolidates a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Space Network Solutions, LLC
The Company participates in the Space Network Solutions joint venture with KBR, a leading provider of specialized engineering, and professional, scientific and technical services primarily to the U.S. federal government. Under the terms of the Amended Space Network Solutions limited liability company agreement, we hold a 90% interest in the Space Network Solutions and KBR hold a 10% interest. Space Network Solutions is a VIE and Intuitive Machines is the primary beneficiary.
Space Network Solutions was formed to provide cyber security as well as communication & tracking services using its expertise in developing secure ground system architecture for lunar space missions. In the second quarter of 2023, NASA awarded Space Network Solutions a cost-plus-fixed-fee indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity contract to support work related to the Joint Polar Satellite System, NASA’s Exploration and In-space Services. Intuitive Machines and KBR entered into a separate joint venture agreement (the “OMES III JV Agreement”) within Space Network Solutions to execute the OMES III contract with a profits interest of 47% for Intuitive Machines and 53% for KBR. We have determined that the OMES III JV Agreement represents a silo within Space Network Solutions and is a standalone VIE. Intuitive Machines is the primary beneficiary of this silo based on the governance structure of the OMES III JV Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, SNS LLC had total assets of $25.7 million and total liabilities of $22.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, SNS LLC had total assets of $13.7 million and total liabilities of $12.0 million.
