McConnell Dowell 2023 Annual Review

84 Fair value The fair value of all current financial assets and liabilities held by the Group approximate the individual carrying values of those assets and liabilities. Non-current interest bearing loans and borrowings held by the Group approximates its carrying value (except as disclosed in Note 18). The Group can use various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise: Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts ("FEFC") to manage some of its transaction exposure. The FEFC's are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to 24 months. They are classified as fair value through profit or loss, with Level 2 methods used to estimate the fair value. At 30 June 2023 the Group had not booked any FEFC market to market transactions (2022: nil) The FEFC's are valued using market observable inputs, applying a forward pricing model using present value calculations. The model incorporates foreign exchange spot and forward rates and the credit quality of counterparties.
