§
Fair value of net assets acquired
 
The application of the purchase method requires certain estimates and assumptions specially concerning the determination of the fair values of the acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as well as the liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. The fair values determined at the acquisition date are based mainly on discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques.
 
The allocation of the fair values determined for the assets and liabilities arising from the acquisition is as follows:
