In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021 or any other future interim or annual period.
Emerging Growth Company
Emerging Growth Company
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 independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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 shareholder 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 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.

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 $978,280 in cash and no cash equivalents, outside of the funds held in the Trust Account, as of June 30, 2021.
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 $572,360 in cash and no cash equivalents, outside of the funds held in the Trust Account, as of September 30, 2021.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account are 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, 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 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 trading securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.
Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable securities are comprised of certificates of deposit (“CDs”), commercial paper, corporate securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and asset-backed securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company has classified and accounted for its investments as available-for-sale securities as the Company may
sell these securities at any time for use in its current operations or for other purposes, even prior to maturity. As a result, the Company classifies its investments, including securities with stated maturities beyond 12 months, within current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value each reporting period. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheets until realized. Interest income is reported within interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically evaluates its marketable securities to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time the investment has been in a loss position, the extent to which the fair value is less than the Company’s cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. If the Company determines that the decline in an investment’s fair value is other than temporary, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480.
Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature contains certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are classified as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2021, 41,634,412 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
The Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are subject to the subsequent measurement guidance in ASC Topic 480-10-S99. Under such guidance, the Company must subsequently measure the shares to their
redemption amount because, as a result of the allocation of net proceeds to transaction costs, the initial carrying amount of the common stock is less than $10.00 per share. In accordance with the guidance, the Company has elected to measure the common stock subject to possible redemption to their redemption amount (i.e., $10.00 per share) immediately as if the end of the first reporting period after the Initial Public Offering, March 26, 2021, was the redemption date. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit. From the period beginning January 29, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an accretion of $23,576,984, of which $11,338,767 was recorded in additional paid-in capital and $12,238,217 was recorded in accumulated deficit.

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, 2021, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Concentration of Credit and Customer Risks
Financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities with domestic and foreign financial institutions and at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions. The
Company maintains investments in U.S. government debt and agency securities, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper that carry high credit ratings and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.
Financial Instruments Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value upon issuance and remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative financial instruments is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820 approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Example of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which is the expected exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into the following categories based on the degree to which the inputs the Company uses to measure the fair values are observable in active markets. The Company uses the most observable inputs available when measuring fair value.
Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
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 during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 statement, 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.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates include, but are not limited to, valuation of financial instruments, valuation of common stock and stock-based awards, revenue recognition, collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, useful lives of property and equipment, the incremental borrowing rate applied in lease accounting, income taxes and deferred income tax assets and associated valuation allowances. The Company bases these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and various other assumptions that it considers reasonable. The actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Offering Costs
Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering and were charged to temporary equity upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were $23,576,984 for the period from January 29, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 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 statements 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. As of June 30, 2021, the deferred tax asset is de minimis.
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.
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 is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Management makes an assessment of the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to the Company’s historical operating performance and the recorded cumulative net losses in prior fiscal periods, the U.S. net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions which are subject to audit by various tax authorities. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.
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 common stock outstanding during the period, excluding common stock shares subject to forfeiture.
Class K common stock will convert into Class A common stock after the initial Business Combination only to the extent certain triggering events occur prior to the 10th anniversary of the initial Business Combination, including three equal triggering events based on the Company’s stock trading at $20.00, $25.00 and $30.00 per share following the first anniversary of the closing of the initial Business Combination and also upon specified strategic transactions. The Company has not considered the effect of the Class K common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share since the conversion of Class K common stock into Class A common stock is contingent upon the occurrence of future events.
Class B shares and Private Placement Shares are included in the calculation of non-redeemable earnings per share.
The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share for shares of common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. With respect to the accretion of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, the Company has treated the accretion in the same manner as a dividend in the calculation of net income/(loss) per common stock. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.
A reconciliation of net loss per common stock is as follows for the period from January 29, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021:

The June 30, 2021 Form 10-Q statement of operations and Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Net Loss per Share Common Stock, included an immaterial misstatement related to the numerator in the earnings (loss) per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and for the period from January 29, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 for all three classes of common stock. The numerator incorrectly included accretion of temporary equity to redemption value of $2,498,065 instead of $0 for each of these periods.
Basic and diluted net loss per share for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption for the three months ended June 30, 2021 should have been ($0.07) per share compared to ($0.06) per share disclosed; basic and diluted net loss per share for the Class A non-redeemable common stock should have been ($0.07) per share compared to ($0.12) per share disclosed; and basic and diluted net loss per share for the Class B common stock should have been ($0.07) per share compared to ($0.12) per share disclosed.
Basic and diluted net loss per share for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption for the period from January 29, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 should have been ($0.53) per share compared to ($0.51) per share disclosed; basic and diluted net loss per share for the Class A non-redeemable common stock should have been ($0.53) per share compared to ($0.60) per share disclosed; and basic and diluted net loss per share for the Class B common stock should have been ($0.53) per share compared to ($0.60) per share disclosed.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The Company presents net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Under the two-class method, net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. The Company considers its redeemable convertible preferred stock, early exercised stock options, and unvested restricted stock to be participating securities and contractually entitles the holders of such shares to participate in dividends but does not contractually obligate
the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net losses for the periods presented were not allocated to these securities.
The Company computes basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for outstanding shares that are subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, because all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”), which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets on the consolidated balance sheets. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application.
Upon adoption of the new standard on January 1, 2019, the Company did not elect the package of practical expedients provided under the guidance, and therefore reassessed whether existing or expired contracts are or contain a lease, the lease classification, and any initial direct costs for any existing leases.
The Company has elected to not separate the lease and non-lease components within the contract. Therefore, all fixed payments associated with the lease are included in the ROU asset and the lease liability. These costs often relate to the payments for a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other operating costs in addition to a base rent. Any variable payments related to the lease will be recorded as lease expense when and as incurred. The Company has elected this practical expedient for its real estate asset class. As an accounting policy election, the Company has also included both lease and non-lease components within the lease expense. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in operating lease ROU assets of $5.4 million and operating lease liabilities of $5.4 million, of which $2.8 million was recorded in operating lease liabilities, current and $2.6 million in operating lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations or on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 changes the disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and has since issued various amendments including ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05. The guidance and related amendments modify the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and require the use of an expected loss model, replacing the currently used incurred loss method. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes – Topic 740 – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principals in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
