The fair values assigned to the identifiable assets and liabilities have been determined provisionally due to proximity of the acquisition to year end date. Any adjustments to these provisional valuations will be recognised within 12 months of the acquisition date.

In the year ended 29 December 2007, the Group acquired the business of Pizzey's Milling. Glanbia Nutritionals (Canada), Inc. (Pizzey's Milling), produces and markets nutritional ingredients predominantly derived from flax seed, a primary source of plant based Omega-3 fatty acids.

Final valuation adjustments to the provisional intangible asset valuations were carried out during the year resulting in an adjustment of €3.4 million to intellectual property. In December 2008, the terms of the purchase agreement between Glanbia plc and the previous owners of Pizzey's Milling were revised. On determination of the final deferred consideration, goodwill was revised downwards by €5.5 million. These adjustments were made prospectively in the Group in line with IFRS 3.
