Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation These unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with acounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The interim financial information provided is unaudited, but includes all adjustments which management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the period ended June 30, 2020. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2020 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s prospectus filed with the SEC on March 5, 2020, and the Company’s audited balance sheet and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 8‑K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2020. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Public Offering (including the over-allotment) and private placement warrants to purchase approximately 17,250,000 and 10,033,333 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, respectively, in the calculation of diluted income per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of net income (loss) per share for common shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of net income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per common share for basic and diluted Class A common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account of $295,217 net of franchise taxes of $50,000, working capital up to an aggregate limit of $1,000,000, and income taxes of $19,753 by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock since issuance. Net income (loss) per common share for basic and diluted Class A common stock for the period from January 15, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2020, is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account of $502,881, net of franchise taxes of $90,548, working capital up to an aggregate limit of $1,000,000, and income taxes of $53,853 by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock since issuance.Net loss per common share for basic and diluted for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, which excludes income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the periods. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. 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 conforming events. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption As discussed in Note 1, all of the 69,000,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of shares of Class A common stock under the Charter. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although the Company has not specified a maximum redemption threshold, its Charter provides that in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable shares of Class A common stock shall be affected by charges against additional paid in capital. Accordingly, at June 30, 2020, 66,158,889 of the 69,000,000 shares of Class A common stock included in the Units were classified outside of permanent equity at approximately $10.00 per share. Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs of $38,688,692 consisting principally of underwriters' discounts of $37,950,000 (including $24,150,000 of which payment is deferred) and $738,692 of professional, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs incurred through June 30, 2020 that were related to the Public Offering were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Public Offering. Income Taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020. 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. 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 at June 30, 2020. 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 current taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company's general and administrative costs are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, and the period from January 15, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $19,735 and $53,853, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |
