The purchase price allocations for the Baierl Auto Group, Downtown LA Auto Group, Albany CJD Fiat, Crater Lake Ford Lincoln, Crater Lake Mazda, Ray Laks Honda, Ray Laks Acura, Day Auto Group, and Prestige Auto Group acquisitions are preliminary and we have not obtained and evaluated all of the detailed information necessary to finalize the opening balance sheet amounts in all respects. We recorded the purchase price allocations based upon information that is currently available. Unallocated items are recorded as a component of other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, we recorded $0.9 million in acquisition related expenses as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. We did not have any material acquisition expenses for the same period in 2017.
 
The following unaudited proforma summary presents consolidated information as if all acquisitions in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 had occurred on January 1, 2017 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

These amounts have been calculated by applying our accounting policies and estimates. The results of the acquired stores have been adjusted to reflect the following: depreciation on a straight-line basis over the expected lives for property and equipment; accounting for inventory on a specific identification method; and recognition of interest expense for real estate financing related to stores where we purchased the facility. No nonrecurring proforma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions are included in the reported proforma revenues and earnings.
