Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued<br />
17 Acquisitions continued<br />
Adjustments made to identifiable assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities on acquisition are to reflect their fair value. These include the recognition of customer-related<br />
intangible assets amounting to £65m. The fair values of net assets acquired are provisional <strong>and</strong> represent estimates following a preliminary valuation<br />
exercise. These estimates may be adjusted to reflect any development in the issues to which they relate.<br />
The goodwill arising on acquisitions can be ascribed to the existence of a skilled, active workforce, developed expertise <strong>and</strong> processes <strong>and</strong> the<br />
opportunities to obtain new contracts <strong>and</strong> develop the business. None of these meet the criteria for recognition as intangible assets separable<br />
from goodwill.<br />
