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

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the statements of operations.

 

The Company established the initial fair value of the Public Warrants on August 30, 2021 using a Modified Black Scholes simulation model, and as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by using the associated trading price of the Public Warrants.  The Company established the initial fair value of the Private Placement Warrants on August 30, 2021 and on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by using a modified Black Scholes calculation. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs. The Public Warrants were subsequently classified as Level 1 as the subsequent valuation was based upon the trading price of the Public Warrants. 

 

The following table presents the changes to Level 3 labilities for the year ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

 

Fair Value at January 1, 2021  $
 
Initial fair value of public and private warrants   15,085,335 
Transfer of public warrants to Level 1   (10,141,998)
Change in fair value   (2,376,378)
Fair Value at December 31, 2021   2,566,959 
Change in fair value   (1,417,244)
Fair Value at March 31, 2022   1,149,715 
Change in fair value   (692,454)
Fair Value at June 30, 2022   457,261 
Change in fair value   98,536 
Fair Value at September 30, 2022  $555,797 

 

The key inputs into the Modified Black Scholes simulation, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement, as of August 30, 2021, December 31. 2021 and September 30, 2022 were as follows:

 

  

(Initial

Measurement)

August 30,

2021

  

December 31,

2021

  

September 30,

2022

 
Risk-free interest rate   0.97%   1.31%   4.04%
Expected term remaining (years)   5.91    5.49    5.34 
Expected volatility   17.00%   7.70%   9.10%
Stock price  $9.197   $9.98   $10.14 

 

The probability of a business combination was 90%, 90% and 30% at August 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

 

Derivative liability-conversion feature

 

The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo model to estimate the fair value of the conversion feature within the working capital loans which is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the conversion feature are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The key assumptions in the model relate to expected share-price volatility, risk-free interest rate, exercise price, expected term and the probability of occurrence of the transaction. The expected volatility was based on the average volatility of SPACs that are searching for an acquisition target. The risk-free interest rate is based on interpolation of U.S. Treasury yields with a term commensurate with the term of the warrants. The Company anticipates the dividend yield to be zero. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be the estimated date of a Business Combination.  

 

The estimated fair value of the conversion feature related to the working capital loans as of issuance and for the period ended September 30, 2022 are zero.

 

The following are the primary assumptions used for the valuation of the conversion feature within the working capital loans:

 

   March 1,   March 23, 
Warrant Valuation Terms  2022   2022 
Risk-free interest rate   1.58%   2.34%
Term   5.40    5.34 
Expected volatility   5.90%   2.80%
Stock Price  $10.01   $10.02 

 

Compound Option Terms        
Strike price-debt conversion  $1.00   $1.00 
Strike–price - warrants  $11.50   $11.50 
Term - debt conversion   0.40    0.34 
Term - warrant conversion   5.40    5.34 
           
Probability of transaction   80%   80%
           
Probability of transaction - Target Date 5/30/2022   40%   40%
           
Probability of transaction - Target Date 8/30/2022   60%   60%

 

   September 30, 
Warrant Valuation Terms  2022 
Risk-free interest rate         4.06%
Term   5.34 
Expected volatility   9.10%
Stock Price  $10.14 

 

Compound Option Terms    
Strike price-debt conversion  $1.00 
Strike–price - warrants  $11.50 
Term - debt conversion   0.34 
Term - warrant conversion   5.34 
      
Probability of transaction - Target Date 11/30/2022   30%
      
Probability of transaction - Target Date 2/28/2023   70%

 

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the Level 3 conversion option:

 

   Working 
   Capital 
   Loans-

Fair value at issuance dates of March 1, 2022 and March 23, 2022  $

Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions   (1,098)
Fair value as of September 30, 2022  $

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy during the period ended September 30, 2022 for the derivative liability - conversion feature.
