Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“
US GAAP Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed. As such, the information included in these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261856) (the “Registration Statement”) and with the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 1, 2022. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these condensed financial statements include all adjustments, which are only of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022 and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies 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 growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s 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 balance sheet. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the balance sheet, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Investments held in Trust Account At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $237.2 million and $0 in cash held in the Trust Account, respectively. The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering The Company complies with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 340-10-S99-1 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption The Company accounts for its shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A Common Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized a measurement adjustment from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A Common Stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “ Income Taxes ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has recorded an income tax provision of $262,971. The provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis for the period August 13,2021 (inception) to September 31, 2021. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset for all periods presented. The fully valued deferred tax asset is related to capitalized startup costs that will be amortized upon successful completion of a business combination. As a result, the Company’s net deferred tax assets were $0 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. Net Income/(Loss) per Common Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “ Earnings Per Share. two-class method in calculating earnings per share. The remeasurement adjustment associated with the redeemable shares of Class A Common Stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The calculation of diluted income/(loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering and (ii) the Private Placement. As a result, diluted earnings per share of common stock is the same as basic earnings per common stock for the periods presented. As of September 30, 2022, the warrants are exercisable to purchase 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate. The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock.
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures stock-based compensation at fair value on the grant date of the award. The Company measured the fair value of the units on the grant date of the award utilizing a valuation model which considers certain assumptions. These assumptions include the probability of completion of a public offering, the probability of initial business combination and estimated concessions. Recent Accounting Standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements. |
