Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 10 — 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 fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of March 31, 2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments. 

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s 150,000 Representative Shares that were issued on and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of November 25, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

	November 25,		Quoted Prices In Active Markets	Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs
	2020		(Level 1)	(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Stockholders’ Equity:
Representative Shares	$	792,443	$	$	-	$	792,443
	$	792,443	$	$	-	$	792,443

The estimated fair value of the Representative Shares on November 25, 2020, the date the Representative Shares were issued, was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte-Carlo simulation model utilizing the probability weighted expected return method are assumptions related to the expected stock-price volatility (pre-merger), the risk-free interest rate, and the expected restricted term. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on management’s understanding of the volatility associated with instruments of other similar entities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity similar to the expected restricted term of the Representative Shares. The expected restricted term of the Representative Shares is simulated based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing the IPO and a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. The assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values represent the Company’s best estimate. However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the Representative Shares were as follows at November 25, 2020:

Input	November 25, 2020
Restricted term (years)		1.02
Expected volatility		11.8	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.11	%
Stock price	$	9.14
Dividend yield		0	%

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

As of December 31, 2020, investment in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $946 in cash and $139,382,301 in U.S. Treasury Securities. The value of the cash held in Trust Account, U.S. Treasury Securities held in Trust Account and Private Warrant liability was determined by quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant other unobservable inputs (Level 3), respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

	March 31,		Quoted Prices In Active Markets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs
Description	2021		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Assets:
Cash held in Trust Account	$	1,522		1,522		-	$	-
U.S. Treasury Securities held in Trust Account		139,405,772		-		139,405,772		-
		139,407,294		1,522		139,405,772		-
Liabilities:
Warrant Liability – Private Warrants	$	284,975	$	-	$	-	$	284,975

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
