Actual results could differ from estimates. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. Significant estimates include the value of derivative instruments, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the net realizable value of inventory, the useful life and value of property and equipment, the value of stock-based compensation and income taxes. The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globalstar and all its subsidiaries.

(“Mudrick Capital”) and Warlander Asset Management (“Warlander”, and, together with Mudrick Capital, the “Plaintiffs”), entered into a stipulation and agreement of settlement, compromise and release of stockholder derivative action (the “Settlement Agreement”) to settle all claims asserted against all defendants in the Action. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:17px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Settlement Agreement is subject to approval by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which held a hearing on April 1, 2019. The Company expects the Court to approve the Settlement Agreement and is currently awaiting its decision. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In connection with the Action described above, the Plaintiffs' claims for monetary relief from the Company are now limited to attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with and related to pursuing the Action, as well as in connection with and related to a shareholder demand to inspect certain of the Company's books and records and a lawsuit seeking to enforce that demand. The Company evaluated the facts and circumstances under applicable accounting guidance and determined that a loss with respect to such Plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and costs is probable and reasonably estimable. In accordance with ASC 450, as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June 30, 2019</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company estimated a range of loss and recorded a reserve based on the low end of the range, as there were no facts and circumstances to support a different point in the range. The Company accrued the total estimated loss of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which is recorded as a current liability on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet and in marketing, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">This estimated loss, as well as other costs incurred by the Company directly associated with the Action, exceeded the Company's retention limit of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for a "securities claim" under its directors and officers insurance policy. According to ASC 450, a recovery related to a contingent loss (e.g., insurance recovery) is a contingent gain. Recovery of a recorded contingent loss shall be recognized only when realization of the recovery is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. The Company believes it is probable that any losses in excess of the Company's retention limit will be covered under the terms of its insurance policy. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a receivable of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> with an offsetting reduction to marketing, general and administrative expenses during the quarter ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June 30, 2019</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Business Economic Loss Claim</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In May 2018, the Company concluded the settlement of a business economic loss claim in which it was an absent member in a tort class action lawsuit.
