Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. 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 financial statements, 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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. The Company had $515,140 and $1,384,587 in cash and no cash equivalents, outside of the funds held in the Trust Account, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were invested in money market funds. Money market funds are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on marketable securities, dividends and interest held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The fair value for money market funds is determined using quoted market prices in active markets. As a result, the assets held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were assessed as Level 1 assets.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity (deficit) section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Gross proceeds	$	157,000,000
Less:
Fair value of Public Warrants at issuance		(4,227,750)
Class A common stock issuance costs		(8,836,621)
Plus:
Re-measurement of carrying value to redemption value		14,634,371
Class A common stock subject to possible redemption	$	158,570,000

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration 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. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value Measurements

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 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.

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.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities held in the Trust Account is comprised of money market funds.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the offering costs were allocated using the relative fair values of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and its Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants. The costs allocated to Public and Private Placement warrants were recognized as a charge against additional paid-in capital, and those related to the Company’s Class A Common Stock were recognized as a charge against the carrying value of Class A Common Stock.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods.

A reconciliation of the net loss per share is below:

							For The Period
							From March 12,
	For The Three		For The Three		For The Six		2021 (Inception)
	Months Ended		Months Ended		Months Ended		Through June 30,
	June 30, 2022		June 30, 2021		June 30, 2022		2021
Redeemable Class A Common Stock
Numerator: Net loss allocable to Redeemable Class A Common Stock	$	(269,021)	$	—	$	(667,287)	$	—
Denominator: Weighted Average Share Outstanding, Redeemable Class A Common Stock
Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, Redeemable Class A		15,700,000		—		15,700,000		—
Basic and diluted net loss per share, Class A subject to possible redemption	$	(0.02)	$	0.00	$	(0.04)	$	0.00
Non-Redeemable Class B Common Stock
Numerator: Net loss allocable to non-redeemable Class B Common Stock
Net loss allocable to non-redeemable Class B Common Stock	$	(67,255)	$	(25,750)	$	(166,822)	$	(35,750)
Denominator: Weighted Average Non-Redeemable Class B Common Stock		3,925,000		3,750,000		3,925,000		3,750,000
Basic and diluted net loss per share, Class B non-redeemable Common Stock	$	(0.02)	$	(0.01)	$	(0.04)	$	(0.01)

The shares of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of loss per share for shares of common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of loss per share. With respect to the adjustment of the Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, the Company has treated the adjustment in the same manner as a dividend in the calculation of the net loss per common stock.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 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’s management determined that the United States is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 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. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020 the FASB issued a new standard (ASU 2020-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments. For certain convertible debt instruments with a cash conversion feature, the changes are a trade-off between simplifications in the accounting model (no separation of an “equity” component to impute a market interest rate, and simpler analysis of embedded equity features) and a potentially adverse impact to diluted EPS by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The new standard will also impact other financial instruments commonly issued by both public and private companies. For example, the separation model for beneficial conversion features is eliminated simplifying the analysis for issuers of convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. Also, certain specific requirements to achieve equity classification and/ or qualify for the derivative scope exception for contracts indexed to an entity’s own equity are removed, enabling more freestanding instruments and embedded features to avoid mark-to-market accounting. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within that year, and two years later for other companies. Companies can early adopt the standard at the start of a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The standard can either be adopted on a modified retrospective or a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently reviewing the newly issued standard and does not believe it will materially impact the Company.
