| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intuitive Machines, the accounts of Intuitive Aviation Inc. (“IA” or “Intuitive Aviation”), a wholly owned subsidiary, Space Network Solutions, LLC (“SNS” or “Space Network Solutions”) a majority -owned The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements of Intuitive Machines, LLC as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 contained in our Form 8 -K Emerging Growth Company The Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non -emerging Use of Estimates The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, other factors, including the current economic environment, and various other judgments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future reporting periods. Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision -maker Concentration of Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. By their nature, all such financial instruments involve risks, including the credit risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions. Certain account balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits of $250,000 per account. The Company generally does not require collateral to support the obligations of the counterparties and cash levels held at banks are more than federally insured limits. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with highly rated financial institutions. The Company has not experienced material losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to whom it grants credit terms in the normal course of its business. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on known collection risks and historical experience. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial downgrading of credit ratings), the Company records a specific allowance for expected credit losses against amounts to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected and revenue recognition is deferred until the amount is collected and the contract is completed. For all other customers, the Company records allowances for credit losses based on the specific analysis of the customer’s ability to pay on an as needed basis. Major customers are defined as those individually comprising more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. There was one major customer that accounted for 52% and 65%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and accounted for 99% and 81%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The largest customer’s accounts receivable balance was nil Major suppliers are defined as those individually comprising more than 10% of the annual goods or services purchased. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company had one major supplier representing 4% and 23%, respectively, of goods and services purchased. This major supplier also accounted for 87% and 85% of goods and services purchased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the one major supplier represented 16% and 21%, respectively, of the accounts payable balance. Liquidity and Capital Resources The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and related notes were prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $40.7 million and a working capital deficit of $52.0 million. The Company has historically funded its operations through internally generated cash on hand, proceeds from sales of its capital stock including the execution of SAFE Agreements, and proceeds from the issuance of bank debt. As further described in Note 1 — Business Description, on February 13, 2023, the Company received approximately $34.1 million of gross proceeds to fund operations as a result of the Business Combination with IPAX. Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company may direct CFPI, at the Company’s discretion, to purchase up to the lesser of (i) $50.0 million of newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) the “exchange cap” specified therein, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the agreement. Subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company received $12.7 million in cash associated with the termination of a forward purchase agreement and $16.1 million in cash proceeds associated with warrant exercises. On September 5, 2023, the Company consummated a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell securities in a private placement which included the issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 4,705,883 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million. See Note 9 — Mezzanine Equity and Equity for additional information on this securities purchase agreement. Management believes that the cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and the additional liquidity provided by the equity facility discussed above will be sufficient to fund the short -term -month Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash, time deposits and other highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of cash not readily available for general purpose cash needs. Restricted cash relates to cash held at commercial banks to support credit accounts. Restricted cash serving as collateral will be released upon full repayment of the credit account. Transaction Costs Business Combination Transaction costs consists of direct legal, consulting, audit and other fees related to the consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions as described further in Note 3. These costs were initially capitalized as incurred and recorded as prepaid expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $5.3 million as of December 31, 2022. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, transaction costs directly related to the issuance of shares were netted against the proceeds from the merger and recorded as an offset in additional paid -in Securities Purchase Agreement Transaction costs related to the consummation of the securities purchase agreement described further in Note 9, includes direct legal, broker, accounting and other fees. Transaction costs totaled approximately $1.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 charged to general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and unbilled receivable, less an allowance for any potential expected uncollectible amounts and do not bear interest. The Company estimates allowance for credit losses based on the credit worthiness of each customer, historical collections experience and other information, including the aging of the receivables. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses when a balance is unlikely to be collected. Prepayments and Other Current Assets Prepaid and other current assets primarily consist of prepaid service fees, security deposits and other general prepayments. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment, net are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment which are not in service are classified as construction -in-process Depreciation is computed using the straight -line

Lease liabilities and right -of-use -line -lease -of-use Fair Value Measurements The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, trade payables, amounts receivable or payable to related parties and long -term -term We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. We estimate fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which is categorized in one of the following levels: • • -derived • Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of Intuitive Machines, LLC that Intuitive Machines, Inc. controls and consolidates but does not own. The noncontrolling interests was created as a result of the Business Combination and represents 68,150,754 common units issued by Intuitive Machines, LLC to the prior investors. As of the Close of the Business Combination, Intuitive Machines, Inc. held an 18.8% interest in Intuitive Machines, LLC, with the remaining 81.2% interest held by Intuitive Machines, LLC’s prior investors. As of September 30, 2023, Intuitive Machines, Inc. held an 22.8% interest in Intuitive Machines, LLC with the remaining 77.2% interest held by the prior investors. The prior investors’ interests in Intuitive Machines, LLC represents a redeemable noncontrolling interest. At its discretion, the members have the right to exchange their common units in Intuitive Machines, LLC (along with the cancellation of the paired shares of Intuitive Machines Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) or Class C Common Stock in Intuitive Machines) for either shares of Class A Common Stock on a one -to-one As the redeemable noncontrolling interests are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control, we classify our redeemable noncontrolling interests as temporary equity. The redeemable noncontrolling interests were initially measured at the Intuitive Machines, LLC prior investors’ share in the net assets of the Company upon consummation of the Business Combination. Subsequent remeasurements of the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests are recorded as a deemed dividend each reporting period, which reduces retained earnings, if any, or additional paid -in General and Administrative Expense General, selling, and administrative expenses consist of human capital related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including executive management and administration, accounting, finance, tax, legal, information technology, marketing, and human resources; rent relating to the Company’s office space; professional fees and other general corporate costs. Human capital expenses primarily include salaries and benefits. Revenue Recognition Most of our revenue are from long -term -term based on the consideration expected to be received. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation to deliver a good or service, or a collection of goods and/or services, based on the relative standalone selling prices. Contract Combination To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate a combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in each period. Contracts are considered to have a single performance obligation if the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts primarily because we provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability. Contract Types The Company performs work under contracts that broadly consist of fixed -price For most of our business, where performance obligations are satisfied due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer, revenue is recognized over time. Where the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability, those contracts are accounted for as single performance obligations. We recognize revenue generally using the cost -to-cost -price -based For a small portion of our business, where we have the right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value received by the customer based on our performance to date, revenue is recognized when services are performed and contractually billable. Under the typical payment terms of our services contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed -upon Contract Costs Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontractor costs and an allocation of indirect costs related to contract performance. Customer -furnished -to-cost -term -launch -party -launch Variable Consideration It is common for our contracts to contain variable consideration in the form of award fees, incentive fees, performance bonuses, liquidated damages or penalties that may increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or targets and can be based on customer discretion. We estimate the amount of variable consideration based on a weighted probability or the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance, and any other information (historical, current or forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. Contract Estimates and Modifications Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex and subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. As a significant change in estimated total revenue and cost could affect the profitability of our contracts, we routinely review and update our contract -related -to-cost We typically recognize changes in contract estimates on a cumulative catch -up Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from existing contracts due to the significant integration provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch -up -alone Unbilled Receivables and Deferred Revenue Billing practices are governed by the contract terms of each project based upon costs incurred, achievement of milestones or predetermined schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenue recognized over time using the cost -to-cost -term -to-cost -by-contract The payment terms of our contracts from time to time require the customer to make advance payments as well as interim payments as work progresses. The advance payment generally is not considered to contain a significant financing component as we expect to recognize those amounts in revenue within a year of receipt as work progresses on the related performance obligation. Income Taxes Intuitive Machines Intuitive Machines, Inc. is a corporation and thus is subject to United States (“U.S.”) federal, state and local income taxes. Intuitive Machines, LLC is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore does not pay United States federal income tax. Instead, the Intuitive Machines, LLC unitholders, including Intuitive Machines, Inc., are liable for U.S. federal income tax on their respective shares of Intuitive Machines, LLC’s taxable income. Intuitive Machines, LLC is liable for income taxes in those states which tax entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes for the Company. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard and, to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded. The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Tax Receivable Agreement In conjunction with the consummation of the Transactions, Intuitive Machines, Inc. entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with Intuitive Machines, LLC and certain Intuitive Machines, LLC members (the “TRA Holders”). Pursuant to the TRA, Intuitive Machines, Inc. is required to pay the TRA Holders 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax that are based on, or measured with respect to, net income or profits, and any interest related thereto that Intuitive Machines, Inc. realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of certain tax attributes, including (A) existing tax basis of certain assets of Intuitive Machines, LLC and its subsidiaries, (B) tax basis adjustments resulting from taxable exchanges of Intuitive Machines, LLC Common Units acquired by Intuitive Machines, Inc., (C) certain tax benefits realized by Intuitive Machines, Inc. as a result of the Business Combination, and (D) tax deduction in respect of portions of certain payments made under the TRA. All such payments to the TRA Holders are the obligations of Intuitive Machines, Inc., and not that of Intuitive Machines, LLC. As of September 30, 2023, there have been no exchanges of Intuitive Machines, LLC units for Class A Common Stock of Intuitive Machines, Inc. and, accordingly, no TRA liabilities currently exist. See Note 3 — Business Combination and Related Transactions for further description of the TRA. Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”) The Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of warrants, stock options, and other types of convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and other types of convertible securities are included in the calculation. Dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation if their effect is anti -dilutive Prior to the Business Combination, the membership structure of Intuitive Machines, LLC included membership units. In conjunction with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company effectuated a recapitalization whereby all membership units were converted to common units of Intuitive Machines, LLC, and Intuitive Machines, Inc. implemented a revised class structure including Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and economic rights, Class B Common Stock having one vote per share and no economic rights, and Class C Common Stock having three votes per share and no economic rights. The Company has determined that the calculation of loss per unit for periods prior to the Business Combination would not be meaningful to the users of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, loss per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the Business Combination on February 13, 2023.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intuitive Machines, the accounts of Intuitive Aviation Inc. (“IA” or “Intuitive Aviation”), a wholly owned subsidiary, Space Network Solutions, LLC (“SNS” or “Space Network Solutions”), and IX, LLC, variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, other factors, including the current economic environment and on various other judgments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Unit Split On May 25, 2021, in accordance with the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of IM, Class A Unit Interests increased by a multiple of one hundred thousand (100,000) or 1 to 100,000 unit (the “Unit Split”). The Class A members and their respective unit interests uniformly increased. Unless otherwise indicated, all share and per share amounts presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Unit Split.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was one major customer that accounted for 83% and 83%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue. The largest customer did not have any accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022, while two other customers accounted for 35% and 14% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2022. The largest customer did not have any accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021, while two other customers accounted for 40% and 30% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2021. Major suppliers are defined as those individually comprising more than 10% of the annual goods or services purchased. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had one major supplier representing 63% and 42% of goods and services purchased, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the largest supplier represented 21% of the accounts payable balance. As of December 31, 2021, the largest supplier did not have any accounts payable, while two other suppliers accounted for 17% and 13% of the accounts payable balance. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December As further described in Note Management believes that the cash available from the consummation of the business combination and related transactions will be sufficient to fund the short -term -month Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash, time deposits and other highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes Intuitive Machines Intuitive Machines has elected to be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Partnerships are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes. Rather, the partnership’s taxable income flows through to the owners, who are responsible for paying the applicable income taxes on the income allocated to them. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded for Intuitive Machines, LLC. However, the Company is subject to Texas Margin Taxes. The Company recorded $23 thousand of income tax benefit and $2 thousand of income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Intuitive Machines is subject to partnership audit rules enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (“the Centralized Partnership audit Regime”). Under the Centralized Partnership Audit Regime, any Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit of Intuitive Machines would be conducted at the Company level, and if the IRS determines an adjustment, the default rule is that Intuitive Machines would pay an “imputed underpayment” including interest and penalties, if applicable. Intuitive Machines may instead elect to make a “push -out Intuitive Aviation Intuitive Aviation is a corporation for tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal income taxes. Accordingly, provision for income taxes has been recorded for Intuitive Aviation, Inc. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes for Intuitive Aviation. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
