@Cheeseburger: Apple has pretty much been printing money in the last couple of years.
Assets, means everything the company owns. If Sony sells a factory they own, the assets go down if the money was spent for example to pay debts (also the debt goes down in the case).
In the end, if buy a company, ie takeover, you buy the companys shares. Whether you pay it with money or shares or both, is a different matter. The company is worth what its shares are worth in the stockmarket. In a merger the assets would have bigger meaning than in case of a buyout.
