The Company classifies its money market funds as Level 1 because they have daily liquidity, quoted prices for the underlying investments can be obtained, and there are active markets for the underlying investments. The Company's equity investments in publicly-traded companies are valued at quoted market prices at the end of each fiscal period and are classified as Level 1 if they are not subject to restrictions and Level 2 if they are currently subject to a lock-up period after the initial public offering.

The Company's Level 2 available-for-sale securities consist of bonds for the Maryland Proton Therapy Center ("MPTC") and the Alabama Proton Therapy Center (“APTC”). The observable inputs for these securities are comparable bond issues, broker/dealer quotations for the same or similar investments in active markets, and other observable inputs such as yields, credit risks, default rates, and volatility. The Company's available-for-sale securities are included in other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, except for amounts related to short-term interest receivable. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for further information about the available-for-sale securities. As of January 1, 2021, and October 2, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company's money market funds, equity investments and available-for-sale securities approximated their respective fair values.
The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its derivative instruments using standard valuation techniques and Level 2 inputs, such as currency spot rates, forward points and credit default swap spreads. The Company’s derivative instruments are generally short-term in nature, typically one month to fifteen months in duration.

The Company generally measures the fair value of its Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities based on Monte Carlo pricing models with key assumptions that include estimated revenues of the acquired business, the probability of completing certain milestone targets during the earn-out period, revenue volatility and estimated discount rates corresponding to the periods of expected payments. If the estimated revenues or probability of completing certain milestones were to increase or decrease during the respective earn-out period, the fair value of the contingent consideration would increase or decrease, respectively. If the estimated discount rates were to increase or decrease, the fair value of contingent consideration would decrease or increase, respectively. Changes in key assumptions may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration. The Company's contingent consideration is from its business combinations and is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents the reconciliation for liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Transfers between fair value measurement levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The fair values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including bank deposits included in cash equivalents, trade and unbilled receivables, net of allowance for credit losses, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts due to their short maturities.
As of January 1, 2021, the fair value of the CPTC Loans (as defined in Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments,") approximated its carrying value of $11.8 million. The carrying value is based on the present value of expected future cash payments discounted at a rate reflecting the nature and duration of the loans, risks involved with the California Proton Therapy Center ("CPTC"), and its industry. As a result, the CPTC Loans are categorized as Level 3. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for further information.
The fair value of the Company's equity investments and convertible promissory notes in privately-held companies were $78.3 million and $68.2 million at January 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively. The Company measures these investments at cost, and these investments are adjusted through net earnings when they are deemed to be impaired or when there is an adjustment from observable price changes. In the three months ended January 1, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s investments in its privately-held companies decreased by $0.8 million, which is included in other income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The fair value of the Company's equity investments in publicly-traded companies were $64.0 million and $54.6 million at January 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively, which are recorded in prepaid and other current assets and other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the three months ended January 1, 2021, the fair value of its investments in publicly-traded companies increased by $9.4 million, which is included in other income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The fair value of the outstanding long-term notes receivable, including accrued interest, approximated their carrying value of $37.5 million and $36.7 million at January 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively, because they are based on the terms of recent comparable transactions and are categorized as Level 3. The fair value is based on the income approach by using the discounted cash flow model with key assumptions that include discount rates corresponding to the terms and risks as well as underlying cash flow assumptions. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for information on the long-term notes receivable.
