NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Description	Level		June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

Assets:
Investments held in Trust Account		1	$	345,476,117	$	345,030,847

Liabilities:
Warrant liability – Private Placement Warrants		2	$	1,970,400	$	4,324,000
Warrant liability – Public Warrants		1		3,967,500		8,625,000
			$	5,937,900	$	12,949,000

The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Upon initial issuance, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrants and a modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrants. Upon initial issuance, the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs. Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Public Warrants is determined using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1, and the Private Warrants are benchmarked to the fair value of the Public Warrants and are classified as Level 2.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Private Placement Warrants			Public Warrants			Total
Fair value at December 31, 2021	$	4,324,000		$	8,625,000		$	12,949,000
Change in fair value		(2,353,600	)		(4,657,500	)		(7,011,100	)
Fair value at June 30, 2022	$	1,970,400		$	3,967,500		$	5,937,900

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the derivative liability was $5,937,900 and $12,949,000, respectively. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1,225,800 and $7,011,100 as an unrealized gain on the change in fair value of the derivative warrants in the condensed statements of operations, respectively.
