Note 7 — Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of December 31, 2020, the investments in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $95 in U.S. Money Market funds and $166,243,519 in U.S. Treasury Securities. All of the U.S. Treasury Securities matured on May 27, 2021. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as

held-to-maturity

in accordance with FASB ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.”

Held-to-maturity

treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. The Company considers all investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year to be short-term investments. The carrying value approximates the fair value due to its short-term maturity.

The carrying value, excluding gross unrealized holding loss and fair value of held to maturity securities on December 31, 2020 are as follows:

U.S. Treasury Securities

At June 30, 2021, all of the Company’s trust assets on the consolidated 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.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s warrant liability was valued at

$41,166,837

and $36,549,753, respectively. 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 statement of operations.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables presents fair value information as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. Since all of the Company’s permitted investments consist U.S. Money Market funds, fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. The Company’s warrant liability for the Private Warrants is based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. The fair value of the Private Warrant liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s warrant liability for the Public Warrants is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. The fair value of the Public Warrant liability is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For the period ending June 30, 2021 the Public Warrants were reclassified from a Level 3 to a Level 2 classification.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Investments held in Trust Account—U.S. Money Market

Investments held in Trust Account—T-Bills

On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company used a modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Warrants. The warrants were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The key inputs into the modified Black Scholes model were as follows at December 31, 2020 and at June 30, 2021:

Risk-free interest rate

Expected term (years)

Probability of completing a Business Combination

Expected stock price at

De-SPAC
