18 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
  Determination of fair values
  Quoted market prices at reporting date have been used to determine the fair value of available-for-sale investments, whereas market-related discount rates have been used to determine the fair value of loans and receivables and interest-bearing borrowings. Where quoted market prices are not available, a valuation technique, most commonly discounted cash flows, was used. For other receivables and payables, the fair value was determined using discounted cash flow method at market-related interest rate. Carrying amounts approximate fair value for all other financial assets and liabilities.
 

Fair value hierarchy

The company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted prices in an active market that are unadjusted for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: valuation techniques using inputs, which are directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3: valuations based on data that is not observable (not applicable to the group).

The values of all other instruments recognised, but not subsequently measured at fair value, approximate fair value.

The following assets and liabilities were measured at level 1:

      2017
R’000
    2016
R’000
 
Recurring fair value measurements, measured at level 1              
Assets measured at fair value, measure at level 1
