These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on the amount of any impairment charge recorded. Discounted cash flow methods are dependent upon assumptions of future sales trends, market conditions and cash flows of each reporting unit over several years. Actual cash flows in the future may In 2015, 2016 2017, one two 2 two not December 31, 2015, 2016 2017. Identifiable intangibles assets are required to be determined separately from goodwill based on their fair values. In particular, an intangible asset acquired in a business combination should be recognized as an asset separate from goodwill if it satisfies either the “contractual-legal” or “separability” criterion. Intangible assets with a finite economic life are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization for identifiable intangible assets categorized as customer relationships are computed using the accelerated method, while amortization for other identifiable intangible assets are computed using the straight-line method over the intangible assets' economic lives. Intangible assets with indefinite economic lives are not not Separately identifiable intangible assets consist of brand names, trade names, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, agency agreement and licenses, and software and systems.

(t) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is considered to be the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three may Level 1 Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 Level 3 Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, insurance premium receivables and payables, other receivables, accounts payable and other payables, amounts due from related parties, approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments.

These investments are recorded at fair values on a recurring basis. The Group benchmarks the costs against fair values of comparable investments with similar measurement terms, such as prevailing market yields, at the balance sheet date. It is classified as Level 2 As described in Note 3, third 825, first two October 31, 2017, 22,000. not 22,000 December 31, 2017. 3 Measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis The Group measures certain assets, including the cost method investments, equity method investments and intangible assets, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be impaired.
