Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); however, management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Globalstar Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021 (the “2020 Annual Report”). </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globalstar and all its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. In the opinion of management, the information included herein includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">COVID-19-Risks and Uncertainties</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">There are a number of uncertainties that could impact the Company's future results of operations, including the effectiveness of COVID-19 mitigation measures; the duration of the pandemic; global economic conditions; changes to the Company's operations; changes in consumer confidence, behaviors and spending; work from home trends; and the sustainability of supply chains. The Company has pursued various opportunities to mitigate the risks and uncertainties resulting from COVID-19, including, but not limited to, the receipt of a $5.0 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and the evaluation of its eligibility for the Employee Retention Tax Credit program and relief under the American Rescue Plan Act. In June 2021, the Small Business Administration ("SBA") fully approved the Company's request for forgiveness of all amounts outstanding, including accrued interest, under its PPP loan. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">  </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-06: </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">. Among other things, ASU No. 2020-06 simplifies the guidance in ASC 470 by eliminating two of the three models that require separating embedded conversion features from convertible instruments. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For existing debt instruments, the Company does not expect this standard will have a material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:13.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">. As part of the FASB's disclosure framework project, it has changed the disclosure requirements for defined pension and other post-retirement benefit plans as outlined in ASU No. 2018-14. This ASU, which became effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, adds certain narrative disclosures and removes other disclosures related to defined benefit plans.
