Note 13. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and deferred revenue approximated fair value as they are short term in nature. The fair value of warrants issued for settlement and services are estimated based on the Black-Scholes model. The carrying value of the Company’s debt and operating lease liabilities approximated its fair value, as the obligation bears interest at rates currently available for debt with similar maturities and collateral requirements.
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are
re-measured
and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and
non-financial
assets and liabilities that are
re-measured
and reported at fair value at least annually. The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities represent Level 3 measurements. The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Warrant Liabilities
Prior to the Business Combination, the Company had outstanding 4,110,000
warrants
(the “Private Warrant”) that were issued upon the consummation of the initial public offering of Galileo. Additionally, at the Closing, a lender holding a convertible note issued by the Company with an aggregate principal amount of $500 converted the note into 500,000 warrants (the “Sponsor Warrants”) exercisable for

tock at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant.
The Private Warrants and Sponsor
Warrants
are identical to the Public Warrants except that the Private and Sponsor Warrants (i) are not redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or any of its permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The Private and Sponsor Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common shares in the manner contemplated by ASC
815-40-15
because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a
fixed-for-fixed
option on equity shares. The Company classifies the Private and Sponsor Warrants as derivative liabilities in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.
The Company utilizes a Binomial Lattice model approach to value the Private Warrants and Sponsor Warrants at each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its Common Stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon
yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the Binomial Lattice Model to measure the warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Fair Value on a
Non-Recurring
Basis
The fair value of the Earnout Shares has been estimated using the trading price of our

tock at Closing ($7.70), discounted based on the probability of the Earnout Terms being met as determined at Closing, and thus represents a Level 2 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820. The Earnout Shares, if achieved, would be issued to Legacy Shapeways shareholders. The Earnout Shares are a fixed number of shares to be issued to such shareholders on a pro rata basis. The fair value of the Earnout Shares were recognized as a deemed dividend. Upon closing of the Merger, the estimated fair value of the Earnout Shares was $18,132 with such amount recognized as a deemed dividend. As the Company is in an accumulated deficit position as of the measurement date, the resulting deemed dividend is recorded as a reduction of additional
paid-in
capital with a corresponding offset recorded to additional
paid-in
capital.
