details of swap and cap contracts.
Fair value hierarchy
For financial assets or liabilities measured at amortised cost and whose
carrying value is a reasonable approximation to fair value there is no
requirement to analyse their value in the fair value hierarchy.
The table below analyses financial instruments measured at fair value into a
fair value hierarchy based on the valuation technique used to determine fair
value:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or
indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Floating rate borrowings - (135,529) - (135,529)
The interest rate swap contract is reset on a quarterly basis. The Company
will settle the difference between the fixed and floating interest rates on a
net basis. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes.
Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future
cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market
interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. The average
interest rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of the reporting
period. The interest rate swap is measured at fair value with changes
recognised in profit or loss.
