Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.
The company's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
- the fair value of foreign currency option contracts is determined using Black Scholes valuation model.
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 3.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, borrowing, cash and cash equivalents and other current financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
The fair values for loans and security deposits were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. The discount rate considered for FY 2024-25 is 8.65% (CPLY 8.50%). They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy since significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are not observable
The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy since significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are not observable
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
