ORBCOMM Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in thousands except share amounts, per share amounts or unless otherwise noted)

1. Overview

ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global wireless data communications company focused on machine-to-machine (“M2M”) communications. The Company’s services are designed to enable businesses and government agencies to track, monitor, and control and communicate with fixed and mobile assets. The Company operates a two-way global wireless data messaging system optimized for narrowband data communication. The Company also provides customers with technology to proactively monitor, manage and remotely control refrigerated transportation and other mobile assets. This technology enables the Company to expand its global technology platform by transferring capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and deliver complementary products to our channel partners and resellers worldwide. The Company provides these services through a constellation of 25 owned low-Earth orbit, or LEO, satellites, two AIS microsatellites and accompanying ground infrastructure, as well as terrestrial-based cellular communication services through reseller agreements with major cellular wireless providers. The Company expanded its network by launching 6 next-generation satellites into orbit, which are expected to be put into service in the second half of 2014. The Company’s satellite-based system uses small, low power, fixed or mobile satellite subscriber communicators (“Communicators”) for connectivity, and cellular wireless subscriber identity modules (“SIMS”) that are connected to the cellular wireless providers’ networks, with these systems capable of being connected to other public or private networks, including the Internet (collectively, the “ORBCOMM System”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principals

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and investments in variable interest entities in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The portions of majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company does not own are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period information to conform to the current period presentation, including (i) the reclassification of depreciation and amortization from cost of services, cost of product sales, product development and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses into its own caption in the condensed consolidated statements of income and (ii) the inclusion of a gross profit subtotal caption on the condensed consolidated statements of income. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

Investments

Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company considers several factors in determining whether it has the ability to exercise significant influence with respect to investments, including, but not limited to, direct and indirect ownership level in the voting securities, active participation on the board of directors, approval of operating and budgeting decisions and other participatory and protective rights. Under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of such investee is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations. When the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee the investment is accounted under the cost method.

Although the Company owns interests in companies that it accounts for pursuant to the equity method, the investments in those entities had no carrying value as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company has no guarantees or other funding obligations to those entities. The Company had no equity or losses of those investees for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

7

Acquisition-related Costs

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and are presented separately on the condensed consolidated statement of income. These costs may include professional services expenses, as well as identifiable integration costs, directly relating to acquisitions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial assets for impairment and any resulting asset impairment would require that a non-financial asset be recorded at the fair value. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement Disclosure,” prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1- unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets; Level 2- inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3- unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, note receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of the Senior Notes approximated its fair value due to its recent issuance.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s customers are primarily commercial organizations. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured.

Accounts receivable are due in accordance with payment terms included in contracts negotiated with customers. Amounts due from customers are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts are past due, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.

The following table presents customers with revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the periods shown:

	Three Months ended June 30,						Six Months ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Caterpillar Inc.		12.4	%		15.7	%		13.3	%		20.0	%
Komatsu Ltd.		10.2	%		11.5	%		11.1	%		12.1	%

The following table presents customers with accounts receivable greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable for the periods shown:

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Caterpillar Inc.		17.4	%		20.9	%

As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not maintain in-orbit insurance coverage for its first generation satellites to address the risk of potential systemic anomalies, failures or catastrophic events affecting its satellite constellation.

In connection with the satellite launch, as discussed in “Note 16 – Subsequent Events”, the Launch One coverage, as defined below, under the in-orbit insurance obtained by the Company in April 2014 took effect in July 2014. Refer to “Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies” for more information regarding the coverage obtained through the policy.

8

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists primarily of raw materials and purchased parts to be utilized by its contract manufacturer. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizability of inventories and adjusts the carrying value as necessary based on forecasted product demand. A provision is made for potential losses on obsolete inventories when identified.

Warranty Costs

The Company accrues for one-year warranty coverage on product sales estimated at the time of sale based on historical costs to repair or replace products for customers compared to historical product revenues. The warranty accrual is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to “Note 8 - Accrued Liabilities” for more information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12 “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2014-12 requires a reporting entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

On March 11, 2014, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and MWL Management B.V., R.Q. Management B.V., WBB GmbH, ING Corporate Investments Participaties B.V. and Euroscan Holding B.V., as sellers (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity of Euroscan Holding B.V., including, indirectly, its wholly-owned subsidiaries Euroscan B.V., Euroscan GmbH Vertrieb Technischer Geräte, Euroscan Technology Ltd. and Ameriscan, Inc.

Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the preliminary purchase price over the preliminary net assets was recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change. The Company anticipates finalizing the purchase price allocation by the first quarter of 2015. The preliminary estimated purchase price allocation for the acquisition is as follows:

	Amount
Cash	$	280
Accounts receivable		2,559
Inventory		1,394
Other current assets		579
Property, plant and equipment		324
Intangible assets		17,400
Other noncurrent assets		543
Total identifiable assets acquired		23,079
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		2,503
Deferred revenues		44
Deferred tax liabilities		4,558
Total liabilities assumed		7,105
Net identifiable assets acquired		15,974
Goodwill		20,231
Total preliminary purchase price	$	36,205

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration is conditionally due to MWL Management B.V. and R.Q. Management B.V. upon achievement of financial and operational milestones. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on our own assumptions. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the Company’s preliminary estimates using the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. As of June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $2,208 in accrued expenses and $2,761 in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, charges of $160 were recorded in SG&A expenses for accretion associated with the contingent consideration.

Intangible Assets

The estimated fair value of the technology and trademarks intangible assets was determined using the “relief from royalty method” under the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on the costs savings that are available through ownership of the asset by the avoidance of paying royalties to license the use of the assets from another owner. The estimated fair value of the customer lists was determined using the “excess earnings method” under the income approach, which represents the total income to be generated by the asset. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the projected revenue associated with the asset, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value at the acquisition date of the customer lists, technology and trademarks was 17.5%. The remaining useful lives of the technology and trademarks were based on historical product development cycles, the projected rate of technology migration and a market participant’s use of these intangible assets and the pattern of projected economic benefit of these intangible assets. The remaining useful lives of customer lists were based on the customer attrition and the projected economic benefit of these customers.

	Estimated Useful life (years)		Amount
Customer lists		12	$	14,400
Technology		10		2,400
Trademarks		10		600
			$	17,400

Goodwill

The Euroscan Acquisition allows the Company to complement its North American Operations in M2M by adding a significant distribution channel in Europe and other key geographies where Euroscan has market share. These factors contributed to a preliminary estimated purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition is partially related to the establishment of a deferred tax liability for the intangible assets which have no tax basis and, therefore, will not result in a future tax deduction. As of June 30, 2014, the Company does not intend to make the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) Section 338(g) election to treat the acquisition as a deemed asset sale. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. However, the period of making the election with the IRS remains open for 8.5 months from the acquisition date.

Indemnification Asset

In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with MWL Management B.V., R.Q. Management B.V and an escrow agent. Under the terms of this escrow agreement, €1,000 was placed in an escrow account through March 11, 2016 to fund any indemnification obligations to the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the escrow agreement, the escrow amount is subject to reduction and early release to the extent no unresolved claims exist in the amount of €250 at the end of each 6 month interval in the period from March 12, 2014 through March 11, 2016.

GlobalTrak

On April 3, 2013, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2013 among the Company and System Planning Corporation (“SPC” and collectively the “GlobalTrak Asset Purchase Agreement”), the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of GlobalTrak for total consideration of $2,990 (the “GlobalTrak Acquisition”), of which $500 was deposited in escrow with a third party escrow agent. The GlobalTrak Acquisition gives the Company access to a customer base that includes military, international, government and commercial customers, as well as expanded reach in growing regions, such as the Middle East, Asia and South America.

Measurement Period Adjustments

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reduced warranty liabilities assumed in connection with the GlobalTrak Acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment relating to warranties, which decreased goodwill and warranty liability by $250 in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation.

Indemnification Asset

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with SPC to settle claims relating to breaches of representations and warranties under the GlobalTrak Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, SPC agreed to direct the third party escrow agent to release $167 from the escrow and distribute to the Company. Following the settlement of indemnification claims, the Company notified the escrow agent to release the remaining funds from escrow and distribute to SPC. As a result of the settlement, the Company decreased goodwill by $167 in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

MobileNet, Inc.

On April 1, 2013, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2013 among the Company and MobileNet, Inc. (“MobileNet”), the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of MobileNet for a total consideration $6,404 consisting of cash, shares of common stock and contingent considerations (the “MobileNet Acquisition”). The MobileNet Acquisition enabled the Company to offer MobileNet’s complete fleet management solution directly to original equipment manufacturers, dealers and fleet owners. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation.

11

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration in connection with the MobileNet Acquisition is conditionally due to MobileNet for the achievement of certain service revenue milestones attributable to the MobileNet business. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out amounts using a probability-weighted discount model and a discount rate of 18%. The Company recorded a reduction of the contingent liability of $199 and $770 in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance of the contingent liability, recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, was $148 and $918, respectively.

LMS

The LMS Acquisition enhanced the Company’s position in transportation solutions and expanded its satellite, terrestrial and dual mode offerings.

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration in connection with the LMS Acquisition is conditionally due to PAR upon the achievement of certain sales targets through 2014. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out amounts using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. In April 2014, the Company paid $25 to PAR in connection with the achievement of the first tranche of milestones as set forth in the LMS Asset Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2014, the balance of the contingent liability of $199 was recorded in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2013, $24 and $184 was included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, charges of $8 and $16 were recorded in SG&A expenses for accretion associated with the contingent consideration, respectively.

StarTrak

On May 16, 2011, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 23, 2011 among the Company, Alanco Technologies (“Alanco”) and StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of StarTrak, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alanco, for total consideration of $18,242 (“the StarTrak Acquisition”). The acquisition of StarTrak enabled the Company to create a global technology platform to transfer capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and deliver complementary products to the Company’s channel partners and resellers worldwide.

Warranty Liabilities and Escrow Agreement

As a result of the StarTrak Acquisition, the Company recorded warranty obligations on StarTrak’s product sales, which provide for costs to replace or fix the product. One-year warranty coverage is accrued on product sales which provide for costs to replace or fix the product.

Additionally, in connection with the StarTrak Acquisition, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with Alanco. Under the terms of the escrow agreement, 166,611 shares of common stock were issued to Alanco and placed in an escrow account to cover 50% of certain costs relating to fuel sensor warranty obligations incurred by the Company. On February 24, 2014 the Company and Alanco entered into a settlement agreement to distribute the 166,611 shares of common stock from the escrow account to Alanco. In consideration for agreeing to distribute these shares of common stock, the Company received $691 from Alanco. The Company recorded a loss of $97 for the difference between the value of the indemnification asset and the amount received from Alanco, which was recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income in the six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $126 on the fair value of the common stock held in escrow. This gain was recorded as a reduction to SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The fair values of the time-based and performance-based RSU awards are based upon the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Performance Units

The Company grants Market Performance Units (“MPUs”) to its senior executives based on stock price performance over a three-year period measured on December 31 for each performance period. The MPUs will vest at the end of each performance period only if the Company satisfies the stock price performance targets and continued employment by the senior executives through the dates the Compensation Committee has determined that the targets have been achieved. The value of the MPUs that will be earned each year ranges up to 15% of each of the senior executives’ 2013 base salaries depending on the Company’s stock price performance target for that year. The value of the MPUs can be paid in either cash or common stock or a combination at the Company’s option. The MPUs are classified as a liability and are revalued at the end of each reporting period based on the awards fair value over a three-year period.

As the MPUs contain both a performance and service condition, the MPUs have been treated as a series of three separate awards, or tranches, for purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a tranche-by-tranche basis over the requisite service period for that specific tranche. The Company estimated the fair value of the MPUs using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model that used the following assumptions:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2014	2013
Risk-free interest rate	0.07% to 0.68%	0.12% to 0.56%
Estimated volatility factor	40.00% to 46.00%	40.00%
Expected dividends	None	None

For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $91 and $38 relating to these MPUs, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $196 and $89 relating to these MPUs, respectively.

5. Net Income Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders

The Company accounts for earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”) and related guidance, which requires two calculations of EPS to be disclosed: basic and diluted. The numerator in calculating basic and diluted EPS is an amount equal to the net income attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. common stockholders for the periods presented. The denominator in calculating basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective periods. The denominator in calculating diluted EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock option grants, unvested SAR and RSU grants and shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for the respective periods. The following sets forth the basic and diluted calculations of EPS for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands, expect per share data)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Net income attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. common stockholders	$	1,394	$	1,671	$	953	$	2,763

Basic number of common shares outstanding		55,199		47,296		54,212		47,068
Dilutive effect of grants of stock options, unvested SAR’s and RSU’s and shares of Series A convertible preferred stock		1,581		1,134		1,764		1,241
Diluted number of common shares outstanding		56,780		48,430		55,976		48,309
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.03	$	0.04	$	0.02	$	0.06
Diluted	$	0.02	$	0.03	$	0.02	$	0.06

The following represents amounts not included in the above calculation of diluted EPS as their impact was anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2014		2013		2014		2013
SAR’s		1,006		3,802		741		3,744

Total depreciation associated with these satellites is expected to be approximately $2,100 for the year ended December 31, 2014, dependent on the date the satellites are placed into service.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the estimated fair values of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets.

Goodwill consisted of the following:

	Amount
Balance at January 1, 2014	$	20,335

11. Note Payable

$45,000 9.5% Senior Notes

On January 4, 2013, the Company issued $45,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (“Senior Notes”) due January 4, 2018. Interest is payable quarterly at a rate of 9.5% per annum. The Senior Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. The covenants in the Senior Notes limits the Company’s ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness and liens; (ii) sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of the Company’s or subsidiaries assets; or (iii) merge or consolidate with other companies. The Company is also required to obtain launch and one year in-orbit insurance for the next-generation satellites under the terms of the Senior Notes. The Company must also comply with a maintenance covenant of either having available liquidity of $10,000 (the sum of (a) cash and cash equivalents plus (b) the total amount available to be borrowed under a working capital facility) or a leverage ratio (consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation, certain other non-cash items and other agreed upon other charges) of not more than 4.5 to 1.0. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred approximately $1,390 of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized through January 4, 2018. For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $66 and $56, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $136 and $131, respectively. For the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company capitalized all of the interest expense and amortization of the debt issuance costs to construction of the next-generation satellites.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Next-generation satellites

On May 5, 2008, the Company entered into a procurement agreement with Sierra Nevada Corporation (“SNC”) pursuant to which SNC is constructing eighteen low-earth-orbit satellites in three sets of satellites (“shipsets”) for the Company’s next-generation satellites (the “Initial Satellites”). Under the agreement, SNC is also providing launch support services, a test satellite (excluding the mechanical structure), a satellite software simulator and the associated ground support equipment.

The total contract price for the Initial Satellites under the procurement agreement is $117,000, subject to reduction upon failure to achieve certain in-orbit operational milestones with respect to the Initial Satellites or if the pre-ship reviews of each shipset are delayed more than 60-120 days after the specified time periods described below. The Company has agreed to pay SNC up to $1,500 in incentive payments for the successful operation of the Initial Satellites five years following the successful completion of in-orbit testing for the third shipset of eight satellites.

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into two additional task order agreements with SNC in connection with the procurement agreement discussed above. Under the terms of the launch vehicle changes task order agreement, SNC will perform the activities to launch eighteen of the Company’s next-generation satellites on a Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”) Falcon 1e or Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The total price for the launch activities is cost reimbursable up to $4,110 that is cancelable by the Company, less a credit of $1,528. Under the terms of the engineering change requests and enhancements task order agreement, SNC will design and make changes to each of the next-generation satellites in order to accommodate an additional payload-to-bus interface. The total price for the engineering changes requests is cost reimbursable up to $317. Both task order agreements are payable monthly as the services are performed, provided that with respect to the launch vehicle changes task order agreement, the credit in the amount of $1,528 will first be deducted against amounts accrued thereunder until the entire balance is expended.

On August 23, 2011, the Company and SNC entered into a definitive First Amendment to the procurement agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment amends certain terms of the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008 and supplements or amends five separate task order agreements, dated as of May 20, 2010 (Task Order #1), August 31, 2010 (Task Orders #2 and #3), and December 15, 2010 (Task Orders #4 and #5) (collectively with Task Order #6, the “Original Task Orders”). On July 3, 2012, the Company and SNC entered into an additional task order agreement (“Task Order #6”) for SNC to perform final design work to enable additional payload components in satellites 3-18 to be re-programmable while in-orbit. The total price for the work under Task Order #6 is cost plus fixed fee of up to $521. In addition, the Company and SNC entered into (i) Task Order #7 on June 24, 2013 for additional work in connection with the thrust vector alignment with respect to the first eight satellites for the firm fixed price of $189; (ii) Task Order #8 on September 10, 2013 for the final design, implementation and testing of the added reprogramability of the payload for the firm fixed price of $1,650; (iii) Task Order #9 on January 14, 2014 for additional work in connection with the thrust vector alignment with respect to the remaining nine satellites for the firm fixed price of $127; and (iv) Task Order #10 on April 18, 2014 for additional software work on a cost plus fixed fee basis estimated at $175.

The First Amendment modifies the milestone payment schedule under the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008 but does not change the total contract price (excluding optional satellites and costs under the Original Task Orders) of $117,000. Payments under the Amendment extend into the second quarter of 2014, subject to SNC’s successful completion of each payment milestone. The First Amendment also settles the liquidated delay damages triggered under the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008 and provides an ongoing mechanism for the Company to obtain pricing proposals to order up to thirty optional satellites substantially identical to the Initial Satellites for which firm fixed pricing previously had expired under the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008. The Company is anticipating $3,900 in total liquidated delay damages will be available to offset milestone and task order payments.

On March 20, 2014, the Company and SNC entered into a definitive Second Amendment to the procurement agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment amends certain terms of the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008, as amended by the First Amendment and supplemented by nine separate Task Orders, dated as of May 20, 2010 (Task Order #1), August 31, 2010 (Task Orders #2 and #3), December 15, 2010 (Task Orders #4 and #5), July 3, 2012 (Task Order # 6), June 24, 2013 (Task Order #7), September 10, 2013 (Task Order #8), and January 14, 2014 (Task Order #9 and collectively the “Task Orders”). The Second Amendment modifies the number of satellites in each shipset to reflect the actual number of satellites to be launched in each of the two missions. The Second Amendment also modifies the payment milestone schedule under the First Amendment but does not change the total contract price (excluding optional satellites and costs under the Task Orders) of $117,000.

21

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has made milestone payments of $70,980 to SNC under the procurement agreement. The Company anticipates making payments under the agreement of approximately $35,490 during the remainder of 2014.

On December 21, 2012, the Company and SpaceX entered into a Launch Services Agreement (the “Falcon 9 Agreement”) pursuant to which SpaceX will provide launch services (the “Launch Services”) for the carriage into low-Earth-orbit of up to 17 ORBCOMM next-generation satellites. Under the Falcon 9 Agreement, SpaceX will also provide to the Company satellite-to-launch vehicle integration and launch support services, as well as certain related optional services. The total price under the Falcon 9 Agreement (excluding any optional services) is $42,600 subject to certain adjustments, which reflects pricing agreed under the 2009 agreement for Launch Services. The amounts due under the Falcon 9 Agreement are payable by the Company in installments from the date of execution of the Falcon 9 Agreement through the performance of each Launch Service.

The Falcon 9 Agreement anticipated that the Launch Services for 17 Satellites would be performed by the second quarter of 2014, subject to certain rights of ORBCOMM and SpaceX to reschedule the Launch Services as needed. Either the Company or SpaceX may postpone and reschedule either Launch Service based on satellite and launch vehicle readiness, among other factors, subject to the payment of certain fees by the party requesting or causing the delay following 6 months of delay with respect to either of the two Launch Services.

Both the Company and SpaceX have customary termination rights under the Falcon 9 Agreement, including for material breaches and aggregate delays beyond 365 days by the other party. The Company has the right to terminate either of the Launch Services subject to the payment of a termination fee in an amount that would be based on the date ORBCOMM exercises its termination right.

On July 14, 2014, the Company launched six of its next generation OG2 satellites aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The OG2 satellites were separated from the Falcon 9 vehicle into the proper insertion orbit. After an initial health check, the satellites will undergo extensive in-orbit testing for approximately 60 days to verify that all subsystems are properly functioning.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has made milestone payments of $35,145 under the Falcon 9 Agreement. The Company anticipates making payments of approximately $7,455 during the remainder of 2014.

On September 21, 2012, SpaceX and the Company entered into a Secondary Payload Launch Services Agreement totaling $4,000 of the original $46,600 to launch the next-generation prototype which occurred on October 7, 2012.

In April 2014, the Company obtained launch and one year in-orbit insurance for the OG2 satellite program. For the first launch of six satellites, the Company obtained (i) a maximum total of $66,000 of launch plus one year in-orbit insurance coverage; and (ii) $22,000 of launch vehicle flight only insurance coverage (“Launch One”). The total premium cost for Launch One was $9,953. For the second launch of eleven satellites, the Company obtained (i) a maximum total of $120,000 of launch plus one year in-orbit insurance coverage; and (ii) $22,000 of launch vehicle flight only insurance coverage (“Launch Two”). The total premium cost for Launch Two is $16,454. In April 2014, the Company paid the total premium for Launch One and 5% of the total premium for Launch Two, with the balance of the premium cost for Launch Two becoming due 30 days prior to the scheduled launch of the second mission. The majority of the premium payments are recorded in assets under construction in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014. The Launch One coverage took effect on July 14, 2014, following the launch and insertion of the first six satellites into orbit.

The policy contains a three satellite deductible across both missions under the launch plus one year insurance coverage whereby claims are payable in excess of the first three satellites in the aggregate for both Launch One and Launch Two combined that

22

are total losses or constructive total losses. The launch vehicle only coverage requires the loss of all satellites on the applicable mission as a result of the launch vehicle flight in order to collect under that portion of the insurance policy. The policy is also subject to specified exclusions and material change limitations customary in the industry. These exclusions include losses resulting from war, anti-satellite devices, insurrection, terrorist acts, government confiscation, radioactive contamination, electromagnetic interference, loss of revenue and third party liability.

Airtime credits

In 2001, in connection with the organization of ORBCOMM Europe LLC and the reorganization of the ORBCOMM business in Europe, the Company agreed to grant certain country representatives in Europe approximately $3,736 in airtime credits. The Company has not recorded the airtime credits as a liability as (i) the Company has no obligation to pay the unused airtime credits if they are not utilized; and (ii) the airtime credits are earned by the country representatives only when the Company generates revenue from the country representatives. The airtime credits have no expiration date. Accordingly, the Company is recording airtime credits as services are rendered and these airtime credits are recorded net of revenues from the country representatives. For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, airtime credits used totaled approximately $7 and $7, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, airtime credits used totaled approximately $15 and $15, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, unused credits granted by the Company were approximately $2,082 and $2,097, respectively.

Development and Production Agreement

In February 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to develop and manufacture products over a 5-year period. Future minimum payments over the term of the agreement total $4,817.

16. Subsequent Events

On July 14, 2014, the Company launched six of its next-generation OG2 satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The OG2 satellites were separated from the Falcon 9 vehicle into the proper insertion orbit. After an initial health check, the satellites will undergo extensive in-orbit testing for approximately 60 days to verify that all subsystems are properly functioning. The satellites are expected to be providing full commercial M2M messaging and AIS services when in-orbit testing is complete.

We may use this prospectus at any time or from time to time to offer, in one or more offerings, our debt securities, shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, warrants to purchase our debt securities, common stock or preferred stock or units consisting of any combination of the foregoing securities. The shelf registration statement was declared effective on April 9, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, accounting for business combinations, goodwill, satellite network and other equipment, long-lived assets, capitalized development costs, income taxes, warranty costs, loss contingencies and the value of securities underlying stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates see Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during 2014.

EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc., before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to our management and investors in evaluating our operating performance because it is one of the primary measures we use to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations, including our ability to obtain and maintain our customers, our ability to operate our business effectively, the efficiency of our employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps our management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of our financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from our operating results. In addition, our management uses EBITDA in presentations to our board of directors to enable it to have the same measurement of operating performance used by management and for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget.

EBITDA is not a performance measure calculated in accordance GAAP. While we consider EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than EBITDA measures presented by other companies.

The following table reconciles our net income to EBITDA for the periods shown:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(In thousands)	2014			2013			2014			2013
Net income attributable to ORBCOMM Inc.	$	1,403		$	1,686		$	972		$	2,794
Income tax expense		427			204			600			349
Interest income		(16	)		(12	)		(18	)		(29	)
Interest expense		—			5			2			51
Depreciation and amortization		2,190			1,370			3,989			2,628
EBITDA	$	4,004		$	3,253		$	5,545		$	5,793

For the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013, EBITDA increased 23.1% while net income decreased (16.8)%. The rate of increase for EBITDA compared to the rate of decrease for net income primarily reflects higher amortization of finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the Euroscan Acquisition, as well as current higher income tax expenses relating to Euroscan and deferred income tax expenses related to adjustments to tax basis goodwill. For the six months of 2014 compared to the six months of 2013, EBITDA decreased (4.2)% compared to a decrease in net income of (65.2)%. The lower rate of decrease for EBITDA compared to net income primarily reflects higher amortization of finite-lived intangible assets as a result of our acquisitions in 2014 and 2013, as well as current higher income tax expenses relating to Euroscan and deferred income tax expenses related to adjustments to tax basis goodwill.

Revenues

We derive service revenues from the utilization of Communicators and the utilization of SIMS on the cellular providers’ wireless networks by its customers (i.e., its VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives and direct customers). These service revenues generally consist of subscriber-based and recurring monthly usage fees and a one-time activation fee for each Communicator or SIM activated for use. Usage fees are generally based upon the number, size and frequency of data transmitted by a customer and the overall number of Communicators and SIMS activated by each customer. Revenues for usage fees from currently billing Communicators and SIMS are recognized on an accrual basis, as services are rendered, or on a cash basis, if collection from the customer is not reasonably assured at the time the service is provided. Usage fees charged to our resellers and direct customers are charged primarily on the overall number of Communicators activated by them and the total amount of data transmitted. We also earn service revenues from extended warranty service agreements extending beyond the initial warranty period of one year, royalty fees from third parties for the use of our proprietary communications protocol charged on a one-time basis for each Communicator connected to our M2M data communications system and fees from providing engineering, technical and management support services to customers.

We derive product revenues primarily from sales of subscriber communicators to our resellers (i.e., our VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives) and direct customers. We also sell cellular wireless SIMS (for our terrestrial-communication services) to our resellers and direct customers. Revenues generated from product revenues are either recognized when the products are shipped or when customers accept the product depending on the specific contractual terms.

26

Shipping costs billed to customers are included in product sales revenues and the related costs are included as costs of product sales.

Amounts received prior to the performance of services under customer contracts are recognized as deferred revenues and revenue recognition is deferred until such time that all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

The table below presents our revenues for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, together with the percentage of total revenue represented by each revenue category in (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,
	2014				2013				2014				2013
Service revenues	$	14,902	61.3	%	$	13,517	72.8	%	$	29,328	67.2	%	$	27,407	77.7	%
Product sales		9,396	38.7	%		5,042	27.2	%		14,320	32.8	%		7,872	22.3	%
	$	24,298	100.0	%	$	18,559	100.0	%	$	43,648	100.0	%	$	35,279	100.0	%

Total revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $24.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively, an increase of 30.6%. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $43.6 million and $35.3 million, respectively, an increase of 23.5%.

Service Revenues

	Three months ended June 30,				Change					Six months ended June 30,				Change
(In thousands)	2014		2013		Dollars		%			2014		2013		Dollars		%
Service revenues	$	14,902	$	13,517	$	1,385		10	%	$	29,328	$	27,407	$	1,921		7	%

The increase in service revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to revenue generated from our acquisitions and increases in core service revenues.

As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately 915,000 billable subscriber communicators compared to approximately 800,000 billable subscriber communicators as of June 30, 2013, an increase of 14%.

Service revenue growth can be impacted by the customary lag between subscriber communicator activations and recognition of service revenue from these units.

Product Sales

	Three months ended				Change					Six months ended June				Change
(In thousands)	2014		2013		Dollars		%			2014		2013		Dollars		%
Product sales	$	9,396	$	5,042	$	4,354		86	%	$	14,320	$	7,872	$	6,448		82	%

The increase in product revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily attributable to the products sold by the companies we acquired and increases from products sold in our core business.

Costs of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization

	Three months ended				Change					Six months ended June				Change
(In thousands)	2014		2013		Dollars		%			2014		2013		Dollars		%

Cost of product sales		6,547		4,094		2,453		60	%		10,574		6,197		4,377		71	%

27

Costs of services is comprised of expenses to operate our network, such as payroll and related costs, including stock-based compensation, and usage fees to third-party networks. The increase in cost of service for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to costs associated with our acquired companies, offset, in part, by a one-time reduction due to the impact of a favorable contract settlement.

Costs of products includes the purchase price of subscriber communicators and SIMS sold, costs of warranty obligations, shipping charges, as well as operational costs to fulfill customer orders including costs for employees and inventory management. The increase in cost of product for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to increased product sales as a result of our acquisitions, costs associated with our increased sales in our core business and inventory charges.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $3.1 million or 31% to $13.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase was due to increases in gross profit of $1.2 million from service revenues and $1.9 million from product sales, primarily due to a mix of higher margin product sales as a result of our Euroscan Acquisition.

Gross profit increased by $3.5 million or 17.6% to $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was due to increases in gross profit of $1.4 million from service revenues and $2.1 million from product sales, primarily due to a mix of higher margin product sales as a result of our acquisitions in 2014 and 2013. Additionally, the increase in service revenue gross profit is due to increases in service revenues notwithstanding the effect on growth in service revenues of a billing adjustment in the first six months of 2013 that had the effect of increasing service margins in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

	Three months ended				Change					Six months ended June				Change
(In thousands)	2014		2013		Dollars		%			2014		2013		Dollars		%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	8,314	$	6,372	$	1,942		30	%	$	15,120	$	12,449	$	2,671		21	%

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses relate primarily to expenses for general management, sales and marketing, finance, professional fees and general operating expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to additional headcount, most of which was from the companies acquired.

Product development expenses

	Three months ended				Change					Six months ended June				Change
(In thousands)	2014		2013		Dollars		%			2014		2013		Dollars		%
Product development	$	641	$	478	$	163		34	%	$	1,320	$	1,264	$	56		4	%

Product development expenses consist primarily of the expenses associated with our engineering efforts including the cost of third parties to support our current applications.

Depreciation and amortization

	Three months ended				Change					Six months ended June				Change
(In thousands)	2014		2013		Dollars		%			2014		2013		Dollars		%
Depreciation and amortization	$	2,190	$	1,370	$	820		60	%	$	3,989	$	2,628	$	1,361		52	%

The increase in depreciation and amortization for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions.

28

Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition-related costs include professional services expenses and identifiable integration costs. For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million in each quarter, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2014 of 120% compared to the prior year period, mainly related to costs incurred in connection with our Euroscan Acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our liquidity requirements arise from our working capital needs and to fund capital expenditures to support our current operations, and facilitate growth and expansion. We have financed our operations and expansion with cash flows from operating activities, sales of our common stock through public offerings and private placements of debt. At June 30, 2014, we have an accumulated deficit of $62.5 million. Our primary source of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $50.9 million, and cash flows from operating activities, which we believe will be sufficient to provide working capital and capital expenditures for the next twelve months.

Operating activities

Cash provided by our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1.4 million resulting from net income of $1.0 million, supplemented by non-cash items including $4.0 million for depreciation and amortization and $1.8 million for stock-based compensation, offset, in part, by a net decrease of $0.6 million in the fair values of acquisitions related contingent consideration. Working capital activities primarily consisted of a net increase in accounts receivable due to timing of collections, as well as increases in inventories, as a result of our Euroscan Acquisition, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily related to timing of payments.

Cash used in our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.2 million resulting from net income of $2.9 million, supplemented by non-cash items including $2.6 million for depreciation and amortization and $1.2 million for stock-based compensation. Working capital activities primarily consisted of a net uses of cash of $2.8 million for an increase in accounts receivable, primarily due to the increase in revenues, and $2.0 million from a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily related to timing for payments for professional fees.

Investing activities

Cash used in our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $57.6 million, resulting primarily from capital expenditures of $29.5 million and $28.9 million in cash consideration paid in connection with our Euroscan Acquisition.

Cash used in our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $30.9 million, resulting primarily from capital expenditures of $21.6 million, purchases of marketable securities of $51.4 million and $3.2 million and $2.0 million in consideration paid to acquired MobileNet, Inc. and GlobalTrak, respectively, offset, in part, by proceeds received from the maturities of marketable securities totaling $47.3 million.

Financing activities

Cash provided by our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $36.6 million, primarily due to net proceeds received from our 2014 Public Offering.

Cash provided by our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $40.3 million, resulting primarily from proceeds received from the issuance of $45 million Senior Notes, offset, in part, by payments for debt issuance costs of $1.3 million in connection with the Senior Notes and a $3.4 million principal repayment of the 6% secured promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition of StarTrak in 2011.

30

Future Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements

We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash along with cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient over the next 12 months to provide working capital, cover interest payments on the $45 million Senior Notes, and capital expenditures that primarily includes the deployment of the next-generation satellites. We believe our positive net working capital assets can provide additional liquidity If necessary to cover any temporary cash flow needs, and we further believe we have access to capital markets should that be required.

On January 17, 2014, we completed our 2014 Public Offering. We received net proceeds of approximately $36.6 million after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and offering costs.

On January 4, 2013, we issued $45 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (“Senior Notes”) due on January 4, 2018. Interest is payable quarterly at a rate of 9.5% per annum. The Senior Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The Senior Notes allow us to put in place a revolving credit facility of up to $15 million, secured by a first priority security interest in receivables and inventory. The covenants in the Senior Notes limits our ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness and liens; (ii) sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of the Company’s or subsidiaries assets; or (iii) merge or consolidate with other companies. We are also required to obtain launch and one year in-orbit insurance for our next-generation satellites under the terms of the Senior Notes. We must also comply with a maintenance covenant of either having available liquidity of $10 million (the sum of (a) cash and cash equivalents plus (b) the total amount available to be borrowed under a working capital facility) or a leverage ratio (consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation and certain other non-cash items and other agreed upon other charges) of not more than 4.5 to 1.0.

On April 4, 2014 we filed a Form S-3 shelf registration prospectus statement for a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $100 million. We may use this prospectus at any time or from time to time to offer, in one or more offerings, our debt securities, shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, warrants to purchase our debt securities, common stock or preferred stock or units consisting of any combination of the foregoing securities. The shelf registration statement was declared effective on April 9, 2014.

Debt Covenants

As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with our covenants of the Senior Notes.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2014, as previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Item 4. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2014. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We reviewed our internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2014. As a result of the Euroscan Acquisition we have begun to integrate certain business processes and systems of Euroscan. Accordingly, certain changes have been made and will continue to be made to our internal controls over financial reporting until such time as this integration is complete. In reliance on interpretive guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) staff, management has chosen to exclude disclosure of changes in internal control over financial reporting related to Euroscan.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in an evaluation thereof that occurred during the second quarter of 2014 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Fair Value of Stock Appreciation Rights Estimated

As the MPUs contain both a performance and service condition, the MPUs have been treated as a series of three separate awards, or tranches, for purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a tranche-by-tranche basis over the requisite service period for that specific tranche. The Company estimated the fair value of the MPUs using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model that used the following assumptions:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2014	2013
Risk-free interest rate	0.07% to 0.68%	0.12% to 0.56%
Estimated volatility factor	40.00% to 46.00%	40.00%
Expected dividends	None	None

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units [Member]

Fair Value of Stock Appreciation Rights Estimated

The fair value of each time-based and performance-based SAR award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions described below. For the periods indicated the expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical volatility over the expected terms of SAR awards. Estimated forfeitures were based on voluntary and involuntary termination behavior, as well as analysis of actual forfeitures. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant over the expected term of the SAR grants.

	Six months ended June 30,
	2014	2013
Risk-free interest rate	1.81% and 1.94%	0.91% to 1.37%
Expected life (years)	6.0	5.50 and 6.0
Estimated volatility factor	66.59% and 67.34%	69.54% to 69.92%

Next-generation satellites

On May 5, 2008, the Company entered into a procurement agreement with Sierra Nevada Corporation (“SNC”) pursuant to which SNC is constructing eighteen low-earth-orbit satellites in three sets of satellites (“shipsets”) for the Company’s next-generation satellites (the “Initial Satellites”). Under the agreement, SNC is also providing launch support services, a test satellite (excluding the mechanical structure), a satellite software simulator and the associated ground support equipment.

The total contract price for the Initial Satellites under the procurement agreement is $117,000, subject to reduction upon failure to achieve certain in-orbit operational milestones with respect to the Initial Satellites or if the pre-ship reviews of each shipset are delayed more than 60-120 days after the specified time periods described below. The Company has agreed to pay SNC up to $1,500 in incentive payments for the successful operation of the Initial Satellites five years following the successful completion of in-orbit testing for the third shipset of eight satellites.

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into two additional task order agreements with SNC in connection with the procurement agreement discussed above. Under the terms of the launch vehicle changes task order agreement, SNC will perform the activities to launch eighteen of the Company’s next-generation satellites on a Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”) Falcon 1e or Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The total price for the launch activities is cost reimbursable up to $4,110 that is cancelable by the Company, less a credit of $1,528. Under the terms of the engineering change requests and enhancements task order agreement, SNC will design and make changes to each of the next-generation satellites in order to accommodate an additional payload-to-bus interface. The total price for the engineering changes requests is cost reimbursable up to $317. Both task order agreements are payable monthly as the services are performed, provided that with respect to the launch vehicle changes task order agreement, the credit in the amount of $1,528 will first be deducted against amounts accrued thereunder until the entire balance is expended.

On August 23, 2011, the Company and SNC entered into a definitive First Amendment to the procurement agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment amends certain terms of the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008 and supplements or amends five separate task order agreements, dated as of May 20, 2010 (Task Order #1), August 31, 2010 (Task Orders #2 and #3), and December 15, 2010 (Task Orders #4 and #5) (collectively with Task Order #6, the “Original Task Orders”). On July 3, 2012, the Company and SNC entered into an additional task order agreement (“Task Order #6”) for SNC to perform final design work to enable additional payload components in satellites 3-18 to be re-programmable while in-orbit. The total price for the work under Task Order #6 is cost plus fixed fee of up to $521. In addition, the Company and SNC entered into (i) Task Order #7 on June 24, 2013 for additional work in connection with the thrust vector alignment with respect to the first eight satellites for the firm fixed price of $189; (ii) Task Order #8 on September 10, 2013 for the final design, implementation and testing of the added reprogramability of the payload for the firm fixed price of $1,650; (iii) Task Order #9 on January 14, 2014 for additional work in connection with the thrust vector alignment with respect to the remaining nine satellites for the firm fixed price of $127; and (iv) Task Order #10 on April 18, 2014 for additional software work on a cost plus fixed fee basis estimated at $175.

The First Amendment modifies the milestone payment schedule under the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008 but does not change the total contract price (excluding optional satellites and costs under the Original Task Orders) of $117,000. Payments under the Amendment extend into the second quarter of 2014, subject to SNC’s successful completion of each payment milestone. The First Amendment also settles the liquidated delay damages triggered under the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008 and provides an ongoing mechanism for the Company to obtain pricing proposals to order up to thirty optional satellites substantially identical to the Initial Satellites for which firm fixed pricing previously had expired under the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008. The Company is anticipating $3,900 in total liquidated delay damages will be available to offset milestone and task order payments.

On March 20, 2014, the Company and SNC entered into a definitive Second Amendment to the procurement agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment amends certain terms of the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008, as amended by the First Amendment and supplemented by nine separate Task Orders, dated as of May 20, 2010 (Task Order #1), August 31, 2010 (Task Orders #2 and #3), December 15, 2010 (Task Orders #4 and #5), July 3, 2012 (Task Order # 6), June 24, 2013 (Task Order #7), September 10, 2013 (Task Order #8), and January 14, 2014 (Task Order #9 and collectively the “Task Orders”). The Second Amendment modifies the number of satellites in each shipset to reflect the actual number of satellites to be launched in each of the two missions. The Second Amendment also modifies the payment milestone schedule under the First Amendment but does not change the total contract price (excluding optional satellites and costs under the Task Orders) of $117,000.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has made milestone payments of $70,980 to SNC under the procurement agreement. The Company anticipates making payments under the agreement of approximately $35,490 during the remainder of 2014.

On December 21, 2012, the Company and SpaceX entered into a Launch Services Agreement (the “Falcon 9 Agreement”) pursuant to which SpaceX will provide launch services (the “Launch Services”) for the carriage into low-Earth-orbit of up to 17 ORBCOMM next-generation satellites. Under the Falcon 9 Agreement, SpaceX will also provide to the Company satellite-to-launch vehicle integration and launch support services, as well as certain related optional services. The total price under the Falcon 9 Agreement (excluding any optional services) is $42,600 subject to certain adjustments, which reflects pricing agreed under the 2009 agreement for Launch Services. The amounts due under the Falcon 9 Agreement are payable by the Company in installments from the date of execution of the Falcon 9 Agreement through the performance of each Launch Service.

The Falcon 9 Agreement anticipated that the Launch Services for 17 Satellites would be performed by the second quarter of 2014, subject to certain rights of ORBCOMM and SpaceX to reschedule the Launch Services as needed. Either the Company or SpaceX may postpone and reschedule either Launch Service based on satellite and launch vehicle readiness, among other factors, subject to the payment of certain fees by the party requesting or causing the delay following 6 months of delay with respect to either of the two Launch Services.

Both the Company and SpaceX have customary termination rights under the Falcon 9 Agreement, including for material breaches and aggregate delays beyond 365 days by the other party. The Company has the right to terminate either of the Launch Services subject to the payment of a termination fee in an amount that would be based on the date ORBCOMM exercises its termination right.

On July 14, 2014, the Company launched six of its next generation OG2 satellites aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The OG2 satellites were separated from the Falcon 9 vehicle into the proper insertion orbit. After an initial health check, the satellites will undergo extensive in-orbit testing for approximately 60 days to verify that all subsystems are properly functioning.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has made milestone payments of $35,145 under the Falcon 9 Agreement. The Company anticipates making payments of approximately $7,455 during the remainder of 2014.

On September 21, 2012, SpaceX and the Company entered into a Secondary Payload Launch Services Agreement totaling $4,000 of the original $46,600 to launch the next-generation prototype which occurred on October 7, 2012.

In April 2014, the Company obtained launch and one year in-orbit insurance for the OG2 satellite program. For the first launch of six satellites, the Company obtained (i) a maximum total of $66,000 of launch plus one year in-orbit insurance coverage; and (ii) $22,000 of launch vehicle flight only insurance coverage (“Launch One”). The total premium cost for Launch One was $9,953. For the second launch of eleven satellites, the Company obtained (i) a maximum total of $120,000 of launch plus one year in-orbit insurance coverage; and (ii) $22,000 of launch vehicle flight only insurance coverage (“Launch Two”). The total premium cost for Launch Two is $16,454. In April 2014, the Company paid the total premium for Launch One and 5% of the total premium for Launch Two, with the balance of the premium cost for Launch Two becoming due 30 days prior to the scheduled launch of the second mission. The majority of the premium payments are recorded in assets under construction in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014. The Launch One coverage took effect on July 14, 2014, following the launch and insertion of the first six satellites into orbit.

The policy contains a three satellite deductible across both missions under the launch plus one year insurance coverage whereby claims are payable in excess of the first three satellites in the aggregate for both Launch One and Launch Two combined that are total losses or constructive total losses. The launch vehicle only coverage requires the loss of all satellites on the applicable mission as a result of the launch vehicle flight in order to collect under that portion of the insurance policy. The policy is also subject to specified exclusions and material change limitations customary in the industry. These exclusions include losses resulting from war, anti-satellite devices, insurrection, terrorist acts, government confiscation, radioactive contamination, electromagnetic interference, loss of revenue and third party liability.

Airtime credits

In 2001, in connection with the organization of ORBCOMM Europe LLC and the reorganization of the ORBCOMM business in Europe, the Company agreed to grant certain country representatives in Europe approximately $3,736 in airtime credits. The Company has not recorded the airtime credits as a liability as (i) the Company has no obligation to pay the unused airtime credits if they are not utilized; and (ii) the airtime credits are earned by the country representatives only when the Company generates revenue from the country representatives. The airtime credits have no expiration date. Accordingly, the Company is recording airtime credits as services are rendered and these airtime credits are recorded net of revenues from the country representatives. For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, airtime credits used totaled approximately $7 and $7, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, airtime credits used totaled approximately $15 and $15, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, unused credits granted by the Company were approximately $2,082 and $2,097, respectively.

Development and Production Agreement

In February 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to develop and manufacture products over a 5-year period. Future minimum payments over the term of the agreement total $4,817.

Acquisitions

3. Acquisitions

Euroscan Holding B.V.

On March 11, 2014, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and MWL Management B.V., R.Q. Management B.V., WBB GmbH, ING Corporate Investments Participaties B.V. and Euroscan Holding B.V., as sellers (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity of Euroscan Holding B.V., including, indirectly, its wholly-owned subsidiaries Euroscan B.V., Euroscan GmbH Vertrieb Technischer Geräte, Euroscan Technology Ltd. and Ameriscan, Inc. (collectively, the “Euroscan Group” or “Euroscan”) for an aggregate consideration of (i) $29,163 (€20,999), subject to net working capital adjustments and net cash (on a debt free, cash free basis); (ii) issuance of 291,230 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $7.70 per share, which reflected the Company’s closing price on the acquisition date; and (iii) additional contingent considerations of up to $6,547, €4,714 (the “Euroscan Acquisition”). As this acquisition was effective on March 11, 2014, the results of operations of Euroscan were included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning March 12, 2014.

Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the preliminary purchase price over the preliminary net assets was recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change. The Company anticipates finalizing the purchase price allocation by the first quarter of 2015. The preliminary estimated purchase price allocation for the acquisition is as follows:

	Amount
Cash	$	280
Accounts receivable		2,559
Inventory		1,394
Other current assets		579
Property, plant and equipment		324
Intangible assets		17,400
Other noncurrent assets		543
Total identifiable assets acquired		23,079
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		2,503
Deferred revenues		44
Deferred tax liabilities		4,558
Total liabilities assumed		7,105
Net identifiable assets acquired		15,974
Goodwill		20,231
Total preliminary purchase price	$	36,205

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration is conditionally due to MWL Management B.V. and R.Q. Management B.V. upon achievement of financial and operational milestones. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on our own assumptions. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the Company’s preliminary estimates using the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. As of June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $2,208 in accrued expenses and $2,761 in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, charges of $160 were recorded in SG&A expenses for accretion associated with the contingent consideration.

Intangible Assets

The estimated fair value of the technology and trademarks intangible assets was determined using the “relief from royalty method” under the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on the costs savings that are available through ownership of the asset by the avoidance of paying royalties to license the use of the assets from another owner. The estimated fair value of the customer lists was determined using the “excess earnings method” under the income approach, which represents the total income to be generated by the asset. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the projected revenue associated with the asset, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value at the acquisition date of the customer lists, technology and trademarks was 17.5%. The remaining useful lives of the technology and trademarks were based on historical product development cycles, the projected rate of technology migration and a market participant’s use of these intangible assets and the pattern of projected economic benefit of these intangible assets. The remaining useful lives of customer lists were based on the customer attrition and the projected economic benefit of these customers.

	Estimated Useful life (years)		Amount
Customer lists		12	$	14,400
Technology		10		2,400
Trademarks		10		600
			$	17,400

Goodwill

The Euroscan Acquisition allows the Company to complement its North American Operations in M2M by adding a significant distribution channel in Europe and other key geographies where Euroscan has market share. These factors contributed to a preliminary estimated purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition is partially related to the establishment of a deferred tax liability for the intangible assets which have no tax basis and, therefore, will not result in a future tax deduction. As of June 30, 2014, the Company does not intend to make the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) Section 338(g) election to treat the acquisition as a deemed asset sale. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. However, the period of making the election with the IRS remains open for 8.5 months from the acquisition date.

Indemnification Asset

In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with MWL Management B.V., R.Q. Management B.V and an escrow agent. Under the terms of this escrow agreement, €1,000 was placed in an escrow account through March 11, 2016 to fund any indemnification obligations to the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the escrow agreement, the escrow amount is subject to reduction and early release to the extent no unresolved claims exist in the amount of €250 at the end of each 6 month interval in the period from March 12, 2014 through March 11, 2016.

GlobalTrak

On April 3, 2013, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2013 among the Company and System Planning Corporation (“SPC” and collectively the “GlobalTrak Asset Purchase Agreement”), the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of GlobalTrak for total consideration of $2,990 (the “GlobalTrak Acquisition”), of which $500 was deposited in escrow with a third party escrow agent. The GlobalTrak Acquisition gives the Company access to a customer base that includes military, international, government and commercial customers, as well as expanded reach in growing regions, such as the Middle East, Asia and South America.

Measurement Period Adjustments

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reduced warranty liabilities assumed in connection with the GlobalTrak Acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment relating to warranties, which decreased goodwill and warranty liability by $250 in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation.

Indemnification Asset

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with SPC to settle claims relating to breaches of representations and warranties under the GlobalTrak Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, SPC agreed to direct the third party escrow agent to release $167 from the escrow and distribute to the Company. Following the settlement of indemnification claims, the Company notified the escrow agent to release the remaining funds from escrow and distribute to SPC. As a result of the settlement, the Company decreased goodwill by $167 in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

MobileNet, Inc.

On April 1, 2013, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2013 among the Company and MobileNet, Inc. (“MobileNet”), the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of MobileNet for a total consideration $6,404 consisting of cash, shares of common stock and contingent considerations (the “MobileNet Acquisition”). The MobileNet Acquisition enabled the Company to offer MobileNet’s complete fleet management solution directly to original equipment manufacturers, dealers and fleet owners. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation.

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration in connection with the MobileNet Acquisition is conditionally due to MobileNet for the achievement of certain service revenue milestones attributable to the MobileNet business. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out amounts using a probability-weighted discount model and a discount rate of 18%. The Company recorded a reduction of the contingent liability of $199 and $770 in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance of the contingent liability, recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, was $148 and $918, respectively.

LMS

On January 12, 2012, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 23, 2011 among the Company, StarTrak Logistics Management Solutions, LLC, PAR Technology Corporation, PAR Government Systems Corporation (collectively “PAR”) and Par Logistics Management Systems Corporation (“LMS”), the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of LMS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAR, for consideration of $6,863 consisting of cash, shares of common stock and contingent considerations (the “LMS Acquisition”). The LMS Acquisition enhanced the Company’s position in transportation solutions and expanded its satellite, terrestrial and dual mode offerings.

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration in connection with the LMS Acquisition is conditionally due to PAR upon the achievement of certain sales targets through 2014. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out amounts using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. In April 2014, the Company paid $25 to PAR in connection with the achievement of the first tranche of milestones as set forth in the LMS Asset Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2014, the balance of the contingent liability of $199 was recorded in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2013, $24 and $184 was included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, charges of $8 and $16 were recorded in SG&A expenses for accretion associated with the contingent consideration, respectively.

StarTrak

On May 16, 2011, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 23, 2011 among the Company, Alanco Technologies (“Alanco”) and StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of StarTrak, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alanco, for total consideration of $18,242 (“the StarTrak Acquisition”). The acquisition of StarTrak enabled the Company to create a global technology platform to transfer capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and deliver complementary products to the Company’s channel partners and resellers worldwide.

Warranty Liabilities and Escrow Agreement

As a result of the StarTrak Acquisition, the Company recorded warranty obligations on StarTrak’s product sales, which provide for costs to replace or fix the product. One-year warranty coverage is accrued on product sales which provide for costs to replace or fix the product.

Additionally, in connection with the StarTrak Acquisition, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with Alanco. Under the terms of the escrow agreement, 166,611 shares of common stock were issued to Alanco and placed in an escrow account to cover 50% of certain costs relating to fuel sensor warranty obligations incurred by the Company. On February 24, 2014 the Company and Alanco entered into a settlement agreement to distribute the 166,611 shares of common stock from the escrow account to Alanco. In consideration for agreeing to distribute these shares of common stock, the Company received $691 from Alanco. The Company recorded a loss of $97 for the difference between the value of the indemnification asset and the amount received from Alanco, which was recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income in the six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $126 on the fair value of the common stock held in escrow. This gain was recorded as a reduction to SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Summary of Significant Accounting Principals

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principals

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and investments in variable interest entities in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The portions of majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company does not own are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period information to conform to the current period presentation, including (i) the reclassification of depreciation and amortization from cost of services, cost of product sales, product development and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses into its own caption in the condensed consolidated statements of income and (ii) the inclusion of a gross profit subtotal caption on the condensed consolidated statements of income. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

Investments

Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company considers several factors in determining whether it has the ability to exercise significant influence with respect to investments, including, but not limited to, direct and indirect ownership level in the voting securities, active participation on the board of directors, approval of operating and budgeting decisions and other participatory and protective rights. Under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of such investee is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations. When the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee the investment is accounted under the cost method.

Although the Company owns interests in companies that it accounts for pursuant to the equity method, the investments in those entities had no carrying value as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company has no guarantees or other funding obligations to those entities. The Company had no equity or losses of those investees for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Acquisition-related Costs

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and are presented separately on the condensed consolidated statement of income. These costs may include professional services expenses, as well as identifiable integration costs, directly relating to acquisitions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial assets for impairment and any resulting asset impairment would require that a non-financial asset be recorded at the fair value. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement Disclosure,” prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1- unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets; Level 2- inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3- unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, note receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of the Senior Notes approximated its fair value due to its recent issuance.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s customers are primarily commercial organizations. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured.

Accounts receivable are due in accordance with payment terms included in contracts negotiated with customers. Amounts due from customers are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts are past due, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.

The following table presents customers with revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the periods shown:

	Three Months ended June 30,						Six Months ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Caterpillar Inc.		12.4	%		15.7	%		13.3	%		20.0	%
Komatsu Ltd.		10.2	%		11.5	%		11.1	%		12.1	%

The following table presents customers with accounts receivable greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable for the periods shown:

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Caterpillar Inc.		17.4	%		20.9	%

As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not maintain in-orbit insurance coverage for its first generation satellites to address the risk of potential systemic anomalies, failures or catastrophic events affecting its satellite constellation.

In connection with the satellite launch, as discussed in “Note 16 – Subsequent Events”, the Launch One coverage, as defined below, under the in-orbit insurance obtained by the Company in April 2014 took effect in July 2014. Refer to “Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies” for more information regarding the coverage obtained through the policy.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists primarily of raw materials and purchased parts to be utilized by its contract manufacturer. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizability of inventories and adjusts the carrying value as necessary based on forecasted product demand. A provision is made for potential losses on obsolete inventories when identified.

Warranty Costs

The Company accrues for one-year warranty coverage on product sales estimated at the time of sale based on historical costs to repair or replace products for customers compared to historical product revenues. The warranty accrual is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to “Note 8 - Accrued Liabilities” for more information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12 “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2014-12 requires a reporting entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

As of June 30, 2014, $796 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these RSUs is expected to be recognized through March 2015.

The fair values of the time-based and performance-based RSU awards are based upon the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Performance Units

The Company grants Market Performance Units (“MPUs”) to its senior executives based on stock price performance over a three-year period measured on December 31 for each performance period. The MPUs will vest at the end of each performance period only if the Company satisfies the stock price performance targets and continued employment by the senior executives through the dates the Compensation Committee has determined that the targets have been achieved. The value of the MPUs that will be earned each year ranges up to 15% of each of the senior executives’ 2013 base salaries depending on the Company’s stock price performance target for that year. The value of the MPUs can be paid in either cash or common stock or a combination at the Company’s option. The MPUs are classified as a liability and are revalued at the end of each reporting period based on the awards fair value over a three-year period.

As the MPUs contain both a performance and service condition, the MPUs have been treated as a series of three separate awards, or tranches, for purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a tranche-by-tranche basis over the requisite service period for that specific tranche. The Company estimated the fair value of the MPUs using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model that used the following assumptions:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2014	2013
Risk-free interest rate	0.07% to 0.68%	0.12% to 0.56%
Estimated volatility factor	40.00% to 46.00%	40.00%
Expected dividends	None	None

For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $91 and $38 relating to these MPUs, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $196 and $89 relating to these MPUs, respectively.

Net income Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders

5. Net Income Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders

The Company accounts for earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”) and related guidance, which requires two calculations of EPS to be disclosed: basic and diluted. The numerator in calculating basic and diluted EPS is an amount equal to the net income attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. common stockholders for the periods presented. The denominator in calculating basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective periods. The denominator in calculating diluted EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock option grants, unvested SAR and RSU grants and shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for the respective periods. The following sets forth the basic and diluted calculations of EPS for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Summary of Significant Accounting Principals (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2014

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and investments in variable interest entities in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The portions of majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company does not own are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period information to conform to the current period presentation, including (i) the reclassification of depreciation and amortization from cost of services, cost of product sales, product development and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses into its own caption in the condensed consolidated statements of income and (ii) the inclusion of a gross profit subtotal caption on the condensed consolidated statements of income. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

Investments

Investments

Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company considers several factors in determining whether it has the ability to exercise significant influence with respect to investments, including, but not limited to, direct and indirect ownership level in the voting securities, active participation on the board of directors, approval of operating and budgeting decisions and other participatory and protective rights. Under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of such investee is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations. When the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee the investment is accounted under the cost method.

Although the Company owns interests in companies that it accounts for pursuant to the equity method, the investments in those entities had no carrying value as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company has no guarantees or other funding obligations to those entities. The Company had no equity or losses of those investees for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related Costs

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and are presented separately on the condensed consolidated statement of income. These costs may include professional services expenses, as well as identifiable integration costs, directly relating to acquisitions.

Fair Value of Financial instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial assets for impairment and any resulting asset impairment would require that a non-financial asset be recorded at the fair value. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement Disclosure,” prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1- unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets; Level 2- inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3- unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, note receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of the Senior Notes approximated its fair value due to its recent issuance.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s customers are primarily commercial organizations. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured.

Accounts receivable are due in accordance with payment terms included in contracts negotiated with customers. Amounts due from customers are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts are past due, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.

The following table presents customers with revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the periods shown:

	Three Months ended June 30,						Six Months ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Caterpillar Inc.		12.4	%		15.7	%		13.3	%		20.0	%
Komatsu Ltd.		10.2	%		11.5	%		11.1	%		12.1	%

The following table presents customers with accounts receivable greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable for the periods shown:

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Caterpillar Inc.		17.4	%		20.9	%

As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not maintain in-orbit insurance coverage for its first generation satellites to address the risk of potential systemic anomalies, failures or catastrophic events affecting its satellite constellation.

In connection with the satellite launch, as discussed in “Note 16 – Subsequent Events”, the Launch One coverage, as defined below, under the in-orbit insurance obtained by the Company in April 2014 took effect in July 2014. Refer to “Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies” for more information regarding the coverage obtained through the policy.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists primarily of raw materials and purchased parts to be utilized by its contract manufacturer. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizability of inventories and adjusts the carrying value as necessary based on forecasted product demand. A provision is made for potential losses on obsolete inventories when identified.

Warranty Costs

Warranty Costs

The Company accrues for one-year warranty coverage on product sales estimated at the time of sale based on historical costs to repair or replace products for customers compared to historical product revenues. The warranty accrual is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to “Note 8 - Accrued Liabilities” for more information.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12 “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2014-12 requires a reporting entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

1. Overview

ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global wireless data communications company focused on machine-to-machine (“M2M”) communications. The Company’s services are designed to enable businesses and government agencies to track, monitor, and control and communicate with fixed and mobile assets. The Company operates a two-way global wireless data messaging system optimized for narrowband data communication. The Company also provides customers with technology to proactively monitor, manage and remotely control refrigerated transportation and other mobile assets. This technology enables the Company to expand its global technology platform by transferring capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and deliver complementary products to our channel partners and resellers worldwide. The Company provides these services through a constellation of 25 owned low-Earth orbit, or LEO, satellites, two AIS microsatellites and accompanying ground infrastructure, as well as terrestrial-based cellular communication services through reseller agreements with major cellular wireless providers. The Company expanded its network by launching 6 next-generation satellites into orbit, which are expected to be put into service in the second half of 2014. The Company’s satellite-based system uses small, low power, fixed or mobile satellite subscriber communicators (“Communicators”) for connectivity, and cellular wireless subscriber identity modules (“SIMS”) that are connected to the cellular wireless providers’ networks, with these systems capable of being connected to other public or private networks, including the Internet (collectively, the “ORBCOMM System”).

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Note Payable

11. Note Payable

$45,000 9.5% Senior Notes

On January 4, 2013, the Company issued $45,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (“Senior Notes”) due January 4, 2018. Interest is payable quarterly at a rate of 9.5% per annum. The Senior Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. The covenants in the Senior Notes limits the Company’s ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness and liens; (ii) sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of the Company’s or subsidiaries assets; or (iii) merge or consolidate with other companies. The Company is also required to obtain launch and one year in-orbit insurance for the next-generation satellites under the terms of the Senior Notes. The Company must also comply with a maintenance covenant of either having available liquidity of $10,000 (the sum of (a) cash and cash equivalents plus (b) the total amount available to be borrowed under a working capital facility) or a leverage ratio (consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation, certain other non-cash items and other agreed upon other charges) of not more than 4.5 to 1.0. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred approximately $1,390 of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized through January 4, 2018. For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $66 and $56, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $136 and $131, respectively. For the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company capitalized all of the interest expense and amortization of the debt issuance costs to construction of the next-generation satellites.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
