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 />
