Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Note 7 — Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Under the guidance in ASC 815-40 the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification. As such, these financial instruments 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, these financial instruments valuations will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

The Company’s warrant liability for the Private Placement Warrants are based on valuation models utilizing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Private Warrant liability, is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

On December 20, 2021, the Company’s Public Warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Company’s warrant liability at December 31, 2021 for the Public Warrants is based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market (the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC) for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. The fair value of the Public Warrant liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Substantially 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 December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Measurement
 
The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities pursuant to ASC 815-40 and are measured at fair value as of each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the Warrants are recorded in the statement of operations each period.
 
The Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. 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.
 
The key inputs into the binomial lattice model were as follows at December 31, 2021:
