The Company maintains the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "LCP"), which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The assets of the LCP principally represent cash surrender values of life insurance policies, which derive their fair values from investments in mutual funds that are managed by an insurance company and are classified within Level 2 and valued using a market approach. Certain other assets of the LCP represent investments in money market funds that are classified within Level 1. The assets of the LCP are held within an irrevocable trust and classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related liabilities of the LCP are included within other long-term liabilities and accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $229.3 million as of April 30, 2021 and $178.3 million as of October 31, 2020.

As part of the agreement to acquire 89.99% of the equity interests of a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2020, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to CAD $27.0 million, or $22.0 million, in fiscal 2025 should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during fiscal 2023 and 2024. However, should the acquired entity achieve a certain earnings objective over any two consecutive fiscal years beginning in fiscal 2021 and ending in fiscal 2023, half of the contingent consideration obligation, or CAD $13.5 million, would be payable in the following year. As of April 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was CAD $13.3 million, or $10.8 million.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2020, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $35.0 million in fiscal 2025 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during calendar years 2023 and 2024 provided the entity meets certain earnings objectives during each of calendar years 2021 to 2024. As of April 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $14.3 million. The obligation to pay any contingent consideration would be payable by a consolidated subsidiary of HEICO that is 75% owned by HEICO Electronic.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2017, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $20.0 million in fiscal 2023 should the acquired entity meet a certain earnings objective during the first six years following the acquisition. As of April 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $18.3 million.

The following unobservable inputs were used to derive the estimated fair value of the Company's Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities as of April 30, 2021 ($ in thousands):


				Weighted
Acquisition Date	Fair Value	Unobservable Input	Range	Average (1)
8-18-2020	$10,821	Compound annual revenue growth rate	0% - 19%	7%
		Discount rate	4.4% - 4.9%	4.6%

8-11-2020	14,304	Compound annual revenue growth rate	4% - 18%	13%
		Discount rate	4.9% - 4.9%	4.9%

9-15-2017	18,332	Compound annual revenue growth rate	(3%) - 10%	6%
		Discount rate	3.6% - 3.6%	3.6%

(1) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

Changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended April 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):


						Liabilities
Balance as of October 31, 2020						$41,974
Foreign currency transaction adjustments						824
Increase in accrued contingent consideration						659
Balance as of April 30, 2021						$43,457

The Company's contingent consideration liabilities are included in other long-term liabilities in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Company records changes in accrued contingent consideration and foreign currency transaction adjustments within selling, general and administrative expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value as of April 30, 2021 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to its variable interest rates.
