25 Fair value measurement and disclosures
25.1 Fair value hierarchy
To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, IFRS 13 established a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure their value.
Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
25.2 Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition
The following table shows the valuation techniques used in the determination of fair values for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition:
Position | Net carrying amount (CHF 1,000) | Level | Data source | Model | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2012 | 2013 | ||||||
Currency forwards | (107) | 2,739 | Level 2 | Bloomberg | (forward rate – | ||
Currency options | (45) | (70) | Level 2 | Bloomberg | Black-Scholes model | ||
There have been no transfers between the levels in 2012 and 2013.
25.3 Fair value disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost
The following table discloses the fair values of assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost:
Position | Net carrying amount in balance sheet measured at amortized cost (CHF 1,000) | Fair value disclosure (CHF 1,000) | Level | Data source | Model | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2012 | 2013 | 2012 | 2013 | ||||
Receivables | 80,461 | 75,798 | 80,461 | 75,798 |
