3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used for such measurements were as follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Assets
Derivative assets	$	—	$	337	$	—
Total assets	$	—	$	337	$	—

Liabilities
Public warrants	$	1,700	$	—	$	—
Private placement warrants		—		—		800
Total liabilities	$	1,700	$	—	$	800

	December 31, 2021
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Assets
Derivative assets	$	—	$	314	$	—
Total assets	$	—	$	314	$	—

Liabilities
Public warrants	$	2,701	$	—	$	—
Private placement warrants		—		—		2,133
Total liabilities	$	2,701	$	—	$	2,133

Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate the recorded value due to the short period of time to maturity. The fair value of the public warrants, which trade in active markets, is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of derivative instruments is based on Level 2 inputs such as observable forward rates, spot rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s private placement warrants are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because their fair values are based on significant inputs that are unobservable in the market.

Private Placement Warrants

The Company determined the fair value of the private placement warrants using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the quoted price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Volatility was based on the implied volatility derived primarily from the average of the actual market activity of the Company’s peer group. The expected life was based on the remaining contractual term of the private placement warrants, and the risk-free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. treasury securities with a maturity equivalent to the warrants’ expected life. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the private placement warrants is the implied volatility. Significant changes in the implied volatility would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

The following table presents significant assumptions utilized in the valuation of the private placement warrants on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:



	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021

Risk-free rate		3.0	%		1.2	%
Dividend yield rate		—			—
Volatility		75.0	%		65.0	%
Contractual term (in years)		3.99			4.49
Exercise price	$	11.50		$	11.50

The following table presents changes in the fair value of the private placement warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:


	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Balance, beginning of period	$	1,920		$	—		$	2,133		$	—
Assumed in Business Combination		—			26,400			—			26,400
Change in fair value		(1,120	)		(6,027	)		(1,333	)		(6,027	)
Balance, end of period	$	800		$	20,373		$	800		$	20,373

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the change in the fair value of private placement warrants resulted from the change in price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, remaining contractual term, and risk-free rate. The changes in fair value are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of change in fair value of warrant liabilities and in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as other liabilities.
