During the purchase price allocation the Group identified key concessions. The fair value of key telecommunication concessions (800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz) is estimated based on the market approach. Please note that there is a pending legal dispute in respect to the telecommunication concession for the 1800 MHz frequency granted to Mobyland Sp. z o.o. (now Aero 2 Sp. z o.o.) and Centernet S.A. (now Aero 2 Sp. z o.o.) – fair value of this concession as at 29 February 2016 is equal to PLN 339.9. Proceedings to invalidate the 1800 MHz frequency allocation tender have been instigated by T-Mobile and Orange. Supreme Administrative Court (NSA), in its ruling dated 8 May 2014, sustained the decision of the Court of First Instance and repealed the decision issued by the President of the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE) on 23 September 2011 which partially invalidated the above mentioned tender. Following the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court, UKE informed that “the decisions regarding re-running the tender will be taken by the Office upon careful analysis of the written justification of NSA’s rulings and the Court’s guidelines regarding further procedure as well as upon analysis of the legal situation”. UKE also stated that the ‘reservation decisions issued by UKE President remained valid while the operators could continue providing their services while using these frequencies’. On 23 December 2016 President of UKE notified the parties the the tender annulment proceedings relating to the 1800 MHz frequency have been adopted. The management board is unable to predict the final outcome of the dispute however in management’s opinion this issue should have no negative impact on the results and financial condition of the Group (the Group is able to provide its services using alternative frequencies). Accordingly, no valuation adjustment has been made in these consolidated financial statements that might have been necessary should the dispute’s outcome be unfavorable for the entity.

During the purchase price allocation the Group analyzed the embedded derivative instrument such as the early redemption option of Midas’ and Litenite’s bonds – the analysis and the accounting standards applied by the Group do not indicate the necessity to recognize the instrument on the balance sheet.

Goodwill is allocated to the "Services to individual and business customers" operating segment.

The revenue and net loss included in the interim consolidated income statement for the reporting period since 29 February 2016 contributed by Litenite group amounted to PLN 753.3 and PLN 137.5, respectively. Had it been acquired on 1 January 2016 the proforma revenue and net income included in the consolidated income statement for would have amounted to PLN 9,650.1 and PLN 970.6, respectively.
