NOTE 7.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, financed and notes receivable, accounts payable, other short-term liabilities, and debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values. The Company also has derivative instruments as further discussed in Note 15. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company invested $10.6 million of unrestricted cash in international bonds, a level 2 asset under the fair value hierarchy. The investment is recorded in other current assets. The fair market values of the bonds approximate their amortized costs.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $21.5 million and $35.7 million of acquisition holdback and earnout liabilities with the former owners of acquired companies. The earnout liabilities were discounted to reflect the expected probability of payout, and both earnout and holdback liabilities were discounted to their net present value on the Company’s books and are considered level 3 liabilities. The table below presents a summary of the changes in fair value for these liabilities.
