Fair value estimation
(i) Financial instruments that are measured at fair value
For financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the balance sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements
are disclosed by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ('quoted prices in active markets')
The fair value of listed securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, is based on quoted prices in active
markets at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for listed investments held by the Group is the current
bid price.
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly ('observable current market transactions')
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using rates quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance
sheet date. The rates for interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts are calculated by reference to market
interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended 30th June 2017 and the year ended 31st December
2016.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2017 and 31st December 2016, by the

(ii) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value
The fair values of current debtors, bank balances, current creditors and current borrowings are assumed to approximate
their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
The fair values of long-term borrowings are based on market prices or are estimated using the expected future payments
discounted at market interest rates.
13. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
