37 Financial Instruments (in $ million) (continued)
(b) Fair values (continued)
Financial instruments carried at other than fair value
Long-term investments amounting to $43.2 million (2008: $43.3 million) for the Group and $18.8
million (2008: $18.9 million) for the Company are stated at cost because the fair values cannot be
obtained directly from quoted market price or indirectly using valuation techniques supported by
observable market data.
The Group and the Company have no intention to dispose of their interests in the above investments
in the foreseeable future.
Net carrying amounts of long-term liabilities approximate the fair value as the interest rates implicit in
the long-term liabilities approximate the market interest rates.
