These excerpts taken from the HBI 10-K filed Feb 19, 2008. Assets
and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations
We account for business acquisitions using the purchase method,
which requires us to allocate the cost of an acquired business
to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated
fair values at the acquisition date. We recognize the excess of
an acquired businesss cost over the fair value of acquired
assets and liabilities as goodwill as discussed below under
Goodwill. We use a variety of information sources to
determine the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. We
generally use third-party appraisers to determine the fair value
and lives of property and identifiable intangibles, consulting
actuaries to determine the fair value of obligations associated
with defined benefit pension plans, and legal counsel to assess
obligations associated with legal and environmental claims.
