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.
