Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022. The interim results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim periods.

 

Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), which 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 an emerging growth 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 an 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 that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash held in escrow

Cash held in escrow

 

The Company had $636,216 and $812,232 held in escrow on March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. This balance will be transferred in whole as soon as practicable to the Company’s operating account.

 

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 no cash and did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

 

Investments Held in Trust Account

Investments Held in Trust Account

 

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities 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 investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

 

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

Offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs directly related to the IPO and the over- allotment. Offering costs amounted to $6,887,896 which was charged against additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the IPO in December 2021.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

FASB 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2022 or 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 for the period March 24, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021 or for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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 total provision (benefit) for income taxes is comprised of the following:

 

The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.

 

The total provision (benefit) for income taxes is comprised of the following:

 

     March 31, 2022     December 31, 2021 
   March 31, 2022   December 31, 2021 
Current expense  $-   $- 
Deferred expense   (42,474)   (28,465)
Change in valuation allowance   (42,474)   (28,465)
Total income tax expense (benefit)  $-   $- 

 

The net deferred tax assets and liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets included the following components:

 

     March 31, 2022     December 31,2021 
   March 31, 2022   December 31,2021 
Deferred tax assets          
Start-up costs  $43,032   $10,793 
Net operating loss   27,907    17,672 
Total Deferred tax assets   70,939    28,465 
Deferred tax liabilities   -    - 
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets   (70,939)   (28,465)
Net deferred tax assets  $-   $- 

 

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. For the period ended March 31, 2022, the change in valuation allowance was $42,474.

 

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate (benefit) to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

 

     March 31, 2022     December 31, 2021 
   March 31, 2022   December 31, 2021 
Statutory federal income tax rate   21.00%   21.00%
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit   0.00%   0.00%
Valuation allowance   -21.00%   -21.00%
Income tax provision expense   0%   0%

 

 

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 (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are 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 sold in the IPO and as a result of the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, on March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 11,500,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption were presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Immediately upon the closing of the IPO and the over-allotment, the Company recognized the accretion from the initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of common stick resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

 

At March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the common stock subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

 

      
Gross proceeds  $115,000,000 
Less:     
Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants   (11,695,950)
Common stock issuance costs   (6,190,074)
Plus: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value   19,611,024 
Common stock subject to possible redemption  $116,725,000 

 

Net income (loss) per common stock

Net income (loss) per common stock

 

The Company has one class of shares. Public Warrants (see Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants (see Note 4) to purchase 7,242,000 Common Stock at $10 per share were issued on December 9, 2021. At March 31, 2022, no Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants have been exercised. The 7,242,000 potential shares of common stock for outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase the Company’s stock were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the period ended March 31, 2022 because they are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net loss per common stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of stock.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share:  Redeemable   Non-redeemable 
For the three months ended March 31, 2022  Common Stock

Accounting for Warrants

Accounting for Warrants

 

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 3 and Note 4) as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. As discussed in Note 7, the Company determined that upon further review of the warrant agreement the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.
