During 2018, the Company adjusted initially recognized intangible assets acquired with Continuum and their useful lives as well as recognized an additional intangible asset in the form of a favorable lease, removed a noncurrent liability associated with an initially recognized unfavorable lease and revised the initial fair value of contingent consideration. The Company also finalized a working capital adjustment that resulted in cash collection in the amount of $76 reducing the original amount of the net assets acquired. These adjustments resulted in a corresponding decrease to the originally recognized value of acquired goodwill. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company finalized the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Continuum and no additional adjustments were recorded.
For the acquisitions of Think and test IO, estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed remain provisional and based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocations as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition dates. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded purchase price adjustments which reduced the original purchase price for Think by $271, with a corresponding decrease to the originally recognized value of acquired goodwill. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded purchase price adjustments which increased the original purchase price for test IO and adjusted related working capital accounts increasing the original amount of the net assets acquired by $119. In addition for the test IO acquisition, the Company reduced the value of acquired intangible assets by $145 with a corresponding increase to goodwill.

In connection with the adoption of Topic 842, effective January 1, 2019, the Company reclassified the favorable lease intangible asset to Operating lease right-of-use assets.
The goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisitions is attributable primarily to strategic and synergistic opportunities related to the consulting and design businesses, the assembled workforces acquired and other factors. The goodwill acquired as a result of the Continuum acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes while the goodwill acquired as a result of the Think and test IO acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Revenues generated by test IO, acquired on April 30, 2019, totaled $1,692 and $2,606 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

These acquisitions increased EPAM’s educational services and platform offerings and expanded the Company’s geographical reach. Revenues generated by the Other 2019 Acquisitions totaled $3,009 during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisitions on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements was not material individually or in the aggregate.
