2.20 <strong>de</strong>termination of fair values<br />

A number of <strong>the</strong> accounting policies <strong>and</strong> disclosures require <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>de</strong>termination of fair value, for both financial <strong>and</strong> non­financial<br />

assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities. Fair values have been <strong>de</strong>termined<br />

for <strong>measure</strong>ment <strong>and</strong>/or disclosure purposes based on <strong>the</strong><br />

methods set out below. Where applicable fur<strong>the</strong>r information<br />

regarding <strong>the</strong> assumptions ma<strong>de</strong> in <strong>de</strong>termining fair values is<br />

disclosed in <strong>the</strong> notes specific to that asset or liability.<br />

Property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment<br />

The fair value of property, plant <strong>and</strong> equipment recognized as<br />

a result of a business combination is based on market values.<br />

The market value of property is <strong>the</strong> estimated amount for which<br />

a property would likely be exchanged on <strong>the</strong> date of valuation<br />

between a willing buyer <strong>and</strong> a willing seller in an arm’s length<br />

transaction after proper marketing wherein <strong>the</strong> parties had each<br />

acted knowledgeably, pru<strong>de</strong>ntly <strong>and</strong> without compulsion. The<br />

market value of items of machinery & equipment <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r fixed<br />

assets is based on <strong>the</strong> quoted market prices for similar items.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r intangible assets<br />

The fair value of o<strong>the</strong>r intangible assets is based on <strong>the</strong><br />

discounted cash flows expected to be <strong>de</strong>rived from <strong>the</strong> use<br />

<strong>and</strong> eventual sale of <strong>the</strong>se assets.<br />

Inventories<br />

The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination<br />

is <strong>de</strong>termined based on <strong>the</strong> estimated selling price in <strong>the</strong><br />

ordinary course of business less <strong>the</strong> estimated costs of<br />

completion <strong>and</strong> sale <strong>and</strong> less a reasonable profit margin based<br />

on <strong>the</strong> effort required to complete <strong>and</strong> sell <strong>the</strong> inventories.<br />

Tra<strong>de</strong> <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r receivables<br />

The fair value of tra<strong>de</strong> <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r receivables is based on <strong>the</strong><br />

present value of future cash flows, discounted at <strong>the</strong> market<br />

rate of interest at <strong>the</strong> <strong>report</strong>ing date.<br />

Derivatives<br />

The fair value of forward currency contracts is based on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

listed market price, if available. If a listed market price is not<br />

available, <strong>the</strong>n fair value is estimated by discounting <strong>the</strong><br />

difference between <strong>the</strong> contract forward price <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> current<br />

forward price for <strong>the</strong> residual maturity of <strong>the</strong> contract using a<br />

risk­free interest rate (based on government bonds).<br />

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes.<br />

These quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting<br />

estimated future cash flows based on <strong>the</strong> terms <strong>and</strong> maturity<br />

of each contract <strong>and</strong> using market interest rates for a similar<br />

instrument at <strong>the</strong> <strong>measure</strong>ment date.<br />

Non­<strong>de</strong>rivative financial liabilities<br />

Fair value for disclosure purposes is based on <strong>the</strong> present<br />

value of future principal <strong>and</strong> interest cash flows, discounted at<br />

<strong>the</strong> market rate of interest at <strong>the</strong> <strong>report</strong>ing date. In respect of<br />

<strong>the</strong> liability component of convertible notes, <strong>the</strong> market rate<br />

of interest is <strong>de</strong>termined by reference to similar liabilities that<br />

do not have a conversion option. For finance leases <strong>the</strong> market<br />

rate of interest is <strong>de</strong>termined by reference to similar lease<br />

agreements.<br />
