Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value
The following tables present assets and liabilities recognised and measured at fair value and classified by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

(1)
quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);

(2)
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2); and

(3)
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
