The fair value is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

There have been no transfers between the levels in 2017 and 2018.

 

10.3 Unquoted equity investment (level 3)

The Group acquired an unquoted equity instrument for CHF 4.0 million in the first half of 2018. The shares have a preferred status in the case of a potential liquidation. Therefore, a decrease in the forecasted cash flows of 10% would not adversely impact the fair value of the investment. Total changes in fair value recognized during the period in other comprehensive income amount to CHF 0.0 million.

Beside of the WACCs that were used for discounting the expected payments, the underlying business plans are the most significant unobservable inputs. A decrease in the forecasted net sales of 10% would result in a fair value of the contingent considerations of CHF 3.3 million considering the sales-defined milestones.
