	Estimated Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,110
Accounts receivable	10,979
Inventories	19,546
Other current assets	997
Property, plant and equipment	452
Intangible assets	55,567
Total identifiable assets acquired	$	88,651
Accounts payable	(10,322		)
Accrued liabilities	(11,162		)
Other long-term liabilities	(661		)
Net identifiable assets acquired	$	66,506
Goodwill	68,269
Net assets acquired	$	134,775

The fair value of the inventory acquired is estimated at its net realizable value, which uses the estimated selling prices, less the cost of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling efforts. The difference between the fair value of the inventories and the amount recorded by Blue Microphones immediately before the acquisition date is $1.8 million, which has been recognized in "amortization of intangibles assets and purchase accounting effect on inventory" in the consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the acquired inventory.

Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Blue Microphones Acquisition are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization, which materially approximates the distribution of the economic value of the intangible assets. Amortization of developed technology of $2.1 million during the year ended March 31, 2019 is included in "amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting effect of inventory" in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of customer relationships, trademark and trade names of $2.5 million during the year ended March 31, 2019 is included in "amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related costs" in the consolidated statements of operations.

Developed technology relates to existing Blue Microphones products. The economic useful life was determined based on the technology cycle related to developed technology of existing products, as well as the cash flows anticipated over the forecasted periods.

Customer relationships represent the fair value of future projected revenue that will be derived from sales of products to existing customers of Blue Microphones. The economic useful life was determined based on historical customer attrition rates and industry benchmarks.

The fair values of developed technology and trade name were estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach (Level 3), which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible assets that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. A royalty rate is applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible assets to determine the amount of savings, which is then discounted to determine the fair value. The developed technology and trade name were valued using royalty rates of 10% and 3%, respectively, and both were discounted at a rate of 11%.

The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the excess earnings method, an income approach (Level 3), which converts projected revenues and costs into cash flows. To reflect the fact that certain other assets contributed to the cash flows generated, the returns for these contributory assets were removed to arrive at estimated cash flows solely attributable to the customer relationships, which were discounted at a rate of 11%.

The Company included Blue Microphones' estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in its consolidated balance sheet beginning on the Blue Microphones Acquisition Date. The results of operations for Blue Microphones subsequent to the acquisition date have been included in, but are not material to, the Company's consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended March 31, 2019, Blue Microphones contributed $45.7 million to sales, representing approximately 2% of the sales of the Company.

Intangible assets acquired as a result of the ASTRO Acquisition are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization, which materially approximates the distribution of the economic value of the intangible assets. Amortization of developed technology of $3.1 million and $2.0 million during the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is included in "amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting effect of inventory" in the consolidated statements of operations.

On April 20, 2016 (the Jaybird Acquisition Date), the Company acquired all of the equity interests of JayBird, LLC (Jaybird), a Utah limited liability company that develops Bluetooth earbuds, activity trackers, and accessories for sports and active lifestyles, for a purchase price of $54.2 million in cash, with an additional earn-out of up to $45.0 million based on the achievement of certain net revenue growth targets over approximately a two year period (the Jaybird Acquisition). If the net revenue growth targets would have been met, the Company would have paid a maximum of $25.0 million and $20.0 million in fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. The fair value of the earn-out as of the Jaybird Acquisition Date was $18.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration decreased by $4.9 million and $8.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, resulting primarily from Jaybird's lower-than-expected sales and revised projected sales in the remaining earn-out period. In October 2017, Logitech and the sellers of Jaybird entered into an agreement fully, irrevocably and unconditionally releasing Logitech from the earn-out rights and payments in exchange for $5.0 million in cash, which was paid in November 2017.

The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $1.7 million, $1.4 million and $1.5 million, in aggregate, for the year ended March 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
