NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy of Assets and Liabilities

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, 2021 and February 16, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Warrants

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrants liability on the Balance Sheets. The warrants 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 warrants liability in the Statements of Operations.

Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the Warrants as of February 16, 2021, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Monte Carlo simulation model for the Public Warrants and a Black-Scholes simulation model for the Private Placement Warrants. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one Class A ordinary share and one-eighth of one Public Warrant) and (ii) the sale of Private Placement Warrants first to the Warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A ordinary shares. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs. The Public Warrants began trading separately on April 5, 2021 and their value is based on the publicly traded price as of September 30, 2021. Due to the use of a quoted price in an active market, the Public Warrants are classified as Level 1 as of September 30, 2021. The Private Placement Warrants continue to be classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2021 and continue to be valued based on a Black-Scholes simulation model.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the Public Warrants were as follows at initial measurement:

The key inputs into the Black-Scholes model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows:

Measurement

The Company’s use of a Monte Carlo simulation and Black-Scholes model required the use of subjective assumptions:

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the Level 3 warrant liabilities:

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 estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $5,597,625.
