Note 6 — Recurring Fair Value Measurements

As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s warrant liability was valued at $12,936,207 and $8,440,008. Under the guidance in ASC 815-40 the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment. As such, the warrants must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each re-measurement, the warrant valuation will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s warrant liability for the Private Placement Warrants is based on a valuation model utilizing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liability units was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the closing price of the Public Warrants was determined to be an appropriate estimate for the fair value of Private Placement Warrants due to a make-whole provision in the contractual terms of the Private Placement Warrants Agreement.

On September 20, 2021, the Company’s Public Warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. As such, the Company’s warrant liability for the Public Warrants is based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market (the New York Stock Exchange) for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access. The fair value of the Public Warrant liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

All of the Company’s trust assets on the balance sheet consist of U. S. Money Market funds which are classified as cash equivalents. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

The Company used a Black-Scholes model to value the Public and Private Warrants.
