Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its IPO as filed with the SEC on January 25, 2021. Since the Company was formed on November 6, 2020, these financial statements do not include comparative statements. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (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 auditor 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account At June 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in marketable securities and invested in U.S. government securities, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the consummation of the initial business combination; (2) the redemption of any Series A Common Stock properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to allow redemptions in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its Series A Common Stock if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within the Combination Period (or 27 months if an agreement in principle event has occurred) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of all of the Series A Common Stock if it is unable to complete its initial business combination within the Combination Period (or 27 months if an agreement in principle event has occurred), subject to applicable law. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations. 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. At June 30, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its Series A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Net Earnings (Loss) per Share The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings (loss) per share. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the IPO and the private placement to purchase an aggregate 21.5 million shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants into shares of common stock is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is the same as basic net earnings (loss) per common share for the periods presented. Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders is calculated by adding the adjustment to the Series A redeemable common stock that is recorded directly to retained earnings (deficit) from net earnings (loss). Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders is allocated to the Series A redeemable common stock and the Series F non-redeemable common stock on a weighted average shares outstanding pro rata basis. Below is a reconciliation of the net earnings (loss) per common share: Three months Six months ended ended June 30, June 30, 2021 2021 Net earnings (loss) $ 24,948,298 (32,308,780) Adjustment to Redeemable Series A Common Stock (14,338) (50,672,720) Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders $ 24,933,960 (82,981,500) Redeemable Series A Common Stock Numerator: Earnings (loss) allocable to Redeemable Series A Common Stock $ 19,947,168 (64,585,168) Denominator: Basic diluted 57,500,000 49,558,011 Basic diluted $ 0.35 (1.30) Non-Redeemable Series F Common Stock Numerator: Earnings (loss) allocable to Non-Redeemable Class F Common Stock $ 4,986,792 (18,396,332) Denominator: Basic diluted 14,375,000 14,116,022 Basic diluted $ 0.35 (1.30) Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, Expenses of Offering Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 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: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value: June 30, Description Level 2021 Marketable securities held in Trust Account 1 $ 575,024,421 Public Warrants 1 $ 25,204,550 Forward Purchase Agreement 2 $ 15,676,675 Private Placement Warrants 2 $ 22,754,000 Conversion feature of Working Capital Loan 2 $ 258,480 In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Public Warrants (as defined in note 4) were originally valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation model using observable market data as significant inputs and were previously considered a Level 2 fair value at the IPO date. However, as of June 30, 2021, the value of the Public Warrants is based on quoted market prices considered to be traded on “active markets” and accordingly are reported in the foregoing table as Level 1 fair value. The fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement (as defined in note 4) is calculated as the difference between the present value of the aggregate $250,000,000 commitment and the fair value of the common stock and warrants to be issued pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, based on the public trading price of the Units issued in the Company’s IPO. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was derived from a Black-Scholes option pricing model using observable market data as the significant inputs. The assumptions under the model include the underlying stock price, strike price, risk-free interest rate, estimated volatility, and the expected term. Expected stock price volatility is based on a combination of implied and historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies. The fair value of the underlying shares is the published closing market price on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of each reporting date, as adjusted for significant results, as necessary. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of valuation equal to the remaining expected life of the Private Placement Warrants. The dividend yield percentage is zero because the Company does not currently pay dividends, nor does it intend to do so during the expected term of the Private Placement Warrants. The fair value of the Public Warrants was determined using the close price as of the reporting date. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated at June 30, 2021 using the following assumptions: Estimated dividend yield 0.00% Expected volatility 28% Risk-free interest rate 1.41% Expected term (years) 5 The Company recognized an unrealized gain of $25,674,947 and an unrealized loss of $30,741,113 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to the Private Placement Warrants, Forward Purchase Agreement and Public Warrants. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. 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 June 30, 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 has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. Public Warrants Although initially issued as a Unit, the Series A common stock and Public Warrants became separately tradeable on March 15, 2021. Therefore, the Public Warrants are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the Series A common stock issued as part of the Units and meet the definition of a freestanding financial instrument. The Public Warrants are liability classified because they did not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock based on certain provisions contained in the related warrant agreement. The Company measures the Public Warrants at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed statements of operations in the realized and unrealized gains (losses), net line item. Private Placement Warrants The Private Placement Warrants are nearly identical to that of the Public Warrants with the primary difference being that the Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable by the Company. The Private Placement Warrants are liability classified because they did not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock based on certain provisions contained in the warrant agreement. The Company measures the Private Placement Warrants at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in fair value recognized in condensed statements of operations in the realized and unrealized gains (losses), net line item. Forward Purchase Agreement The Forward Purchase Agreement requires the Company to sell 25,000,000 shares of Series B common stock and 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Warrants to acquire shares of Series A common stock for aggregate proceeds of $250,000,000 contemporaneously with the completion of an initial business combination. At the IPO date, we determined that the Forward Purchase Agreement was a liability, with a fair value of $374,532. The Company measures the Forward Purchase Agreement at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in the realized and unrealized gains (losses), net line item. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |
