As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the recorded values of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and franchise tax payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Due to the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets (Level 2) to estimate the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, the Company had transfers out of Level 3 with a fair value at the time of the transfer totaling $2,229,333. The Private Placement Warrants had a decrease in fair value of $2,432,001 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, prior to the transfer.
