29. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Group adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands financial statement disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) on the measurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1‑Valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.

Level 2‑Valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level 2 valuation techniques.

Level 3‑Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect the Group’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Management of the Group is responsible for determining the fair value of equity issued, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangibles identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from independent appraiser.

When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group measures fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates. The following is a description of the valuation techniques that the Group uses to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis:

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 information about inputs into the fair value measurements of the assets and liabilities that the Group makes on a recurring basis were as follows:


	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Total Fair	Quoted Prices
	Value and	in Active	Significant	Significant
	Carrying	Markets	Other	Unobservable
	Value on	for Identical	Observable	Inputs
	Balance Sheet	Assets (Level 1)	Inputs (Level 2)	(Level 3)
As of December 31, 2020
Assets:
Short term investments, available for sale	117,854	117,854	—	—

The following table presents the quantitative information about the Group’s Level 3 fair value measurements of intangible assets on a recurring basis in 2019 and 2020, which utilize significant unobservable internally-developed inputs:


		Valuation		Range of discount
	Fair value	techniques	Unobservable inputs	rates
Intangible assets in 2019	158,870	Relief-from-royalty method	Royalty rate	1%‑5	%
			Discount rate	14.8%‑16	%
			Terminal growth rate	3	%
Intangible assets in 2020	177,814	Relief-from-royalty method	Royalty rate	1%‑7	%
			Discount rate	14.8%‑16	%
			Terminal growth rate	3	%

The following table presents the quantitative information about the Group’s Level 3 fair value measurements of contingent consideration payable on a recurring basis in 2019 and 2020, which utilize significant unobservable internally-developed inputs:


		Valuation
	Fair value	techniques	Unobservable inputs	Discount rates
Contingent consideration payable in 2019	—	Discounted cash flow method	Discount rate	14.8	%
Contingent consideration payable in 2020	—	Discounted cash flow method	Discount rate	14.8	%

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.
