Disclosure Of Fair Value Measurement Of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 fair value measurements: These measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 fair value measurements: These measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 fair value measurements: These measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed

Except those listed in the table below, the Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value approximate their fair values.


	December 31, 2023				December 31, 2024
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value

Financial assets
Financial assets at amortized cost
Corporate bonds	$	—	$	—	$	2,000	$	2,002
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Bonds payable	$	30,483	$	30,469	$	30,488	$	30,485

The fair value of bonds is measured using Level 2 inputs. The valuation of fair value is based on the quoted market prices provided by third party pricing services.

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities of Level 2 are determined as follows:

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.

For derivatives, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow model. Future cash flows are estimated based on observable inputs including forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods and the forward and spot exchange rates stated in the contracts, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

The fair values of non-listed domestic and foreign equity investments and film and drama investing agreements were Level 3 financial assets and determined using the market approach by reference the Price-to-Book ratios (P/B ratios) of peer companies that traded in active markets, using the income approach, in which the discounted cash flow is used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits to be derived from the investments, or using assets approach. The significant unobservable inputs used were listed in the below table. An increase in growth rate of long-term revenue, a decrease in discount for the lack of marketability or noncontrolling interests discount, or a decrease in the discount rate would result in increases in the fair values.


	December 31
	2023	2024
Discount for lack of marketability	3.75%-20.00%	20.00%-30.00%
Noncontrolling interests discount	17.01%-25.00%	15.00%-29.04%
Growth rate of long-term revenue	0.19%	0.12%
Discount rate	7.11%-8.20%	8.32%-14.40%

If the inputs to the valuation model were changed to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions while all the other variables were held constant, the fair values of Level 3 financial assets would increase (decrease) as below table.
