The insurance liabilities comparatives for the year-end 31 March 2023 have been re-presented for the adoption of IFRS 17 ‘Insurance Contracts’ although there is no impact on the total amounts. See note 1 ‘Basis of preparation’ for more information. 2. Items are measured at fair value and the valuation basis is level 2 classification, which comprises items where fair value is determined from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The carrying amounts of trade and other payables approximate their fair value. Materially all of the €2,043 million recorded as current contract liabilities at 1 April 2023 was recognised as revenue during the year with the exception of Vodacom Italy and Vodafone Spain whose revenue of €299 million will be reported as part of the discontinued operation. See note 7 ‘Discontinued operations and assets held for sale’ for more information. Insurance liabilities included within non-current liabilities include €254 million (2023: €257 million) in respect of the re-insurance of a third party annuity policy related to the Vodafone and CWW Sections of the Vodafone UK Group Pension Scheme. The fair values of the derivative financial instruments are calculated by discounting the future cash flows to net present values using appropriate market interest rates and foreign currency rates prevailing at 31 March.
