Acquisitions | Note 15. Acquisitions When we acquire a business, we assign the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities based upon their fair value using various valuation techniques, including the market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach. The accounting standard for business combinations requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired to be recorded at fair value. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of the business are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the issuance of debt associated with a business combination are capitalized and included as a yield adjustment to the underlying debt's stated rate. Hughes Communications On June 8, 2011, we completed the Hughes Acquisition, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the "Hughes Agreement") by and between us, certain of our subsidiaries, including EchoStar Satellite Services L.L.C., and Hughes Communications, Inc. Pursuant to the Hughes Agreement, 100.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and vested stock options of Hughes Communications, Inc. were converted into the right to receive $60.70 (minus any applicable exercise price) in cash and substantially all of the outstanding debt of Hughes Communications, Inc. was repaid. The funding of the Hughes Acquisition was supported by the issuance of the Notes. See Note 10 for further discussion. In connection with the Hughes Acquisition, each share of unvested restricted stock and unvested stock option of Hughes Communications, Inc. was converted into the right to receive $60.70 (minus any applicable exercise price) in cash on the vesting date of the stock award. As of December 31, 2013, our maximum liability for these unvested stock awards of Hughes Communications, Inc. was approximately $4.4 million, which is payable based on the original vesting terms of the stock award. Of the $4.4 million, $3.5 million was accrued as of December 31, 2013, the remainder of which will be recognized over the remaining vesting period associated with the original stock award, the last of which expires in 2014. Hughes Communications is a global leader in broadband satellite technologies and services and a leading provider of managed network services. Together with Hughes Communications, we have an extensive fleet of owned and leased satellites, experienced personnel and communications facilities around the world. The Hughes Acquisition significantly expands our ability to provide new video and data products and solutions. The Hughes Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities, as follows:

During 2011, in connection with the Hughes Acquisition, we incurred $35.3 million of acquisition related transaction costs consisting primarily of banking, bond forfeiture, legal and accounting fees. These costs are included in "Other, net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The following unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011 give effect to the Hughes Acquisition as if it occurred on January 1, 2010. These pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if these transactions had occurred on such date and should not be used as a predictive measure of our future financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable.
