NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

d) Currency risk

The Group’s functional currency is Hong Kong dollars. The Group is exposed to
currency risk through cash and bank balances denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”) and
United States dollars (“USD”). As the Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”) is pegged to the USD,
the Group does not expect any significant movements in the USD/HKD exchange rate.
At 31 December 2020, it is estimated that a general increase or decrease in 5% of
exchange rates, with all variables held constant, would decrease/increase the Group’s
deficit for the year and decrease/increase the Group’s general fund by approximately
HK$15,000 (2019: HK$16,000).

e) Fair values measurement

Fair value hierarchy

The following table presents the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments measured
at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the three-level
fair value hierarchy as defined in HKFRS 13, Fair value measurement. The level into
which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the
observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

• Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the
measurement date.

• Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable
inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs.
Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.

• Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.
