Common shares issued in connection with acquisitions are valued at closing market prices as of the effective date of the applicable acquisition. The maximum potential earnout payables disclosed in the foregoing table represent the maximum amount of additional consideration that could be paid pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement for the applicable acquisition. The amounts recorded as earnout payables, which are based upon the estimated future operating results of the acquired businesses within a seven-to twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition date, are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and are included on that basis in the recorded purchase price consideration in the foregoing table. The Company records any subsequent changes in the fair value of the earnout obligations in its consolidated income from operations. Please see Note 4 for discussion around significant inputs and assumptions relating to the earnout obligation.

As of June 30, 2015, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related purchase price allocation for the Netsoft, Jointech and GGA acquisitions have been finalized. For the Great Fridays acquisition, the above estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The Company is gathering additional information necessary to finalize the estimated fair values of intangible assets, deferred income taxes and other amounts associated with the acquisition of Great Fridays, for which the purchase price allocation has not been finalized as of June 30, 2015. The fair values reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
As of June 30, 2015, and during the period since the date of each respective acquisition up through June 30, 2015, or the date purchase accounting was finalized, as applicable, the Company made updates to the initially reported acquired balances and has finalized valuation of the balances of Netsoft, Jointech and GGA. For Netsoft, the deferred tax asset and goodwill were adjusted, which decreased the net assets acquired by $348. For Jointech, intangible assets were adjusted to reflect the final fair value of intangible assets acquired and a deferred tax liability was established, both increasing goodwill with no change to the net assets acquired. For GGA, the final working capital adjustment was completed, deferred tax assets were netted with additional recognized deferred tax liabilities and additional accounts receivable and deferred revenue were recognized. Also, intangible assets and property and equipment were adjusted to reflect the final fair value of the assets acquired. These adjustments resulted in an overall increase to goodwill and increased the net assets acquired by $1,366. For Great Fridays, the value of the intangible assets and associated deferred tax liabilities were reduced based on the preliminary fair value estimates of acquired intangible assets, which increased goodwill. These adjustments resulted in a decrease in net assets acquired by $77.
The adjustments identified above did not significantly impact our previously reported net income of prior periods and, as such, prior period amounts have not been retrospectively adjusted.
 
As of June 30, 2015, the following table presents the estimated fair values and useful lives of intangible assets acquired during the year ended December 31, 2014:

As of June 30, 2015, the acquired companies have been significantly integrated into the Company and as such, it is not possible to precisely report their individual results of operations. Additionally, pro forma results of operations for the acquisition transactions were not presented because the effects of the acquisitions would not have been material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, individually or in the aggregate. Aggregate revenues generated by the acquired companies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were approximately $6.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the reporting periods following the closing date of each acquisition.
