ii)Measurement of fair values
a)Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values for financial instruments in the statement of financial position, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used. The movement in fair value arising from reasonably possible changes to the significant unobservable inputs was assessed as not significant.

Assets
Debt investmentsBroker prices/ Income approachRisk-adjusted discount rate using Income approachThe estimated fair value would decrease (increase) if the discount rates were higher (lower).
Equity InvestmentsMarket comparison technique Adjusted market multipleThe estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if the adjusted market multiple were higher (lower).
Volatility ratesThe estimated fair value would either increase or decrease if the volatility rate increases.
Liabilities
Put options issued to non-controlling interestsIncome approachProbability attributed to achieving certain milestonesThe estimated fair value of the put liability would increase (decrease) if the probability attributed to achieving certain milestones were higher (lower).

Volatility rates
The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if the expected volatility were higher (lower).
