CURRENTLY VIEWING: 5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / Next: 6. ADDITIONAL RISK DISCLOSURES

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSAs at 28 February 2022

The table below sets out the Group's classification of each class of financial instrument, at their fair values. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximates their fair values, therefore no fair value disclosures are provided. The different fair value levels are described below.

  • Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 – inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 – inputs are inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where level 1 inputs are not available, the Group engages qualified third-party valuers to perform the valuation.

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the period for recurring fair value measurements.

Acquisition-related liabilities represent purchase considerations owing in respect of acquisitions. The purchase considerations are to be settled with the vendors in cash or shares on achievement of agreed performance criteria. The amounts owing are interest free. Acquisition-related liabilities are classified as financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss except where the option portion is fixed in which case they are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost. They are classified as level 3 financial instruments, whose fair value measurements are derived from inputs that are unobservable for the liabilities. Movements are presented in the statement of comprehensive income as
acquisition-related fair value adjustments.
