(where share5 ere publicty traded 01 their lair value is reliably measurable) are measured 8t fair value
through profil or loss. Where lair value cannot be measured reliably. Inve51menls are measured at
cost less impaimient.
Fair value m•&surement
The best evidence of fair value Is a quoted priGe for an Idenlical asset in an active market. When
quoted pri¢es are unavai18ble, Ihe price tsf a recent transaction for an identical asset provides
evidence of fair value as long as Ihere has not been 3 significant change in economic circumstances
of a significant lapsè of time since the tran$actlDn took place. If Ihe maikei is noi active and recent
transactions of an identical asset on their Dwn are not a good estimate ol lair value. the lair value is
e3timated by using a valuation technique.
