The following methods and assumptions were used toestimate the fair values:Bank deposits, cash and similar, trade receivables, other current and non current assets and trade and other payables approximate theircarrying amounts largely due to the short- term maturities of these instruments.The fair value of bank debt and obligatons under finance leases is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currentlyavailable for debt on similar terms. The carrying amount of bank debt are measured to amortized cost. Reference is made to note 20.The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined by reference to the forward rate at the balance sheet date. For all of the abovederivates, the fair value is confirmed by the financial institution with which the Group has signed the contract.Fair value hierarchyAs at December 31, <strong>2012</strong>, the Group held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:The group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques:Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesLevel 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly orindirectlyLevel 3: Techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable marketdata.12.31.<strong>2012</strong> Level 1 Level 2 Level 3Assets measured at fair valueFinancial assets at fair value through profit and loss:Foreign exhange contracts - non-hedged 2 865 - 2 865 -During the <strong>report</strong>ing period ending December 31, <strong>2012</strong>, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.57
