Aggregated annualized revenue is estimated to be approximately $41.9 million and $6.1 million from the aforementioned 2021 and 2020 acquisitions, respectively. Aggregated annualized income before tax is estimated to be approximately $6.1 million and $1.5 million from the aforementioned 2021 and 2020 acquisitions, respectively. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions were not material, either individually or in aggregate, to our total revenue, income from continuing operations, and net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The following table summarizes the aggregated consideration and preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively (in thousands):

Goodwill 39,017 11,158 
Total Net Assets Acquired$67,288 $15,057 
Maximum Potential Contingent Consideration$21,115 $6,202 
Provisional estimates of fair value are established at the time of each acquisition and are subsequently reviewed within the first year of operations subsequent to the acquisition date to determine the necessity for adjustments. Fair value estimates were provisional for some of the 2021 acquisitions as of June 30, 2021, primarily related to the value established for certain identifiable intangible assets and contingent purchase price consideration associated with those acquisitions.
The following table summarizes the aggregated goodwill and intangible asset amounts resulting from those acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively (in thousands):

Other Intangibles837 46 — 199 
Total $58,279 $3,131 $— $14,787 

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the aggregated purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill represents the value of expected future earnings and cash flows, as well as the synergies created by the integration of the new business within our organization, including cross-selling opportunities expected with our Financial Services practice group and the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group, to help strengthen our existing service offerings and expand our market position. Client lists have an expected life of 10 years, and other intangibles, primarily non-compete agreements, have an expected life of 3 years.
