Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 there was a change of approximately $5.5 million in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value.

The fair value of the convertible notes may change significantly as additional data is obtained, impacting the Company’s assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the liabilities. In evaluating this information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the data used to develop the assumptions and estimates. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts, and such changes could materially impact the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Convertible Notes

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “2022 Notes”). The fair value of the Notes on the issuance dates, and as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation to capture the path dependencies intrinsic to their terms. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s convertible notes are the common stock price, volatility, and risk-free interest rates. Significant changes in these inputs may result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The Company elected the fair value option when recording its 2022 Notes and the 2022 Notes were classified as liabilities and measured at fair value on the issuance date, with changes in fair value recognized as other income (expense) on the statements of operations and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, two noteholders converted a portion of their 2022 Notes into 1,887,919 shares of the Company’s commons stock (See Note 11). The fair value of the converted notes totaled $0.5 million.
