II. Level 2 other observable inputs
Valued using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as
prices) or indirectly (derived from prices), including: quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in
markets in which there are few transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities and other inputs that are not quoted prices but
are observable for the asset or liability, for example interest rate yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.
III. Level 3 unobservable inputs
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) are used. Level 3 investments are
primarily unlisted private equity funds where the fair value of investments is determined on the basis of published redemption values
of those funds received from the relevant managers who themselves use various methods to value the underlying investments.
Where the determination of fair value for an instrument involves inputs from more than one category, the level within which the
instrument is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.

(a)
Other than the loan to associates, receivables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled between 30 days and 12 months. The balance has not been discounted
as the effect of the time value of money is not material. The net carrying amount of receivables is a reasonable approximation of the fair value of the assets due to the
short term nature of the assets.
(b)
This loan is denominated in Malaysian ringgit and has a fixed term of 15 years. A cumulative preference dividend of 1% is payable annually. The loan relates to the
Group's increased investment in AmGeneral to acquire Kurnia during the financial year ended 30 June 2013.
