BIZMOLOGY — In July 2012, the two principal US providers of high-resolution images of the Earth – DigitalGlobe and GeoEye – agreed to a $900 million cash and stock deal that will create a global powerhouse in the commercial satellite imaging industry.
The combined company will have five satellites in orbit, two satellites under construction and scheduled for launch within two years, and a fleet of airplanes that collect high-resolution aerial images. Ultimately, they plan to maintain a constellation of three satellites optimized to meet the needs of the US government, foreign governments, and commercial customers.

They are sticklers about getting paid as quickly as possible and they are taking a little longer than the average company in paying their vendors,” he says.
In accounting terms, these companies, more specifically, have negative operating working capital, or negative capital after subtracting their current liabilities from their current accounts receivables and inventory.
