SELF STORAGE PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
SELF STORAGE PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
The Company acquired 17 self storage properties with an estimated fair value of $88.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Of these acquisitions, four self storage properties with an estimated fair value of $18.4 million were acquired by the Company from its PROs. These self storage property acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations whereby the Company recognized the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities on the respective dates of such acquisitions. The Company preliminarily allocated the total purchase price to the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed. The Company allocated a portion of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets consisting of customer in-place leases which were recorded at estimated fair value of $2.1 million, resulting in a total fair value of $86.7 million allocated to real estate.
The following table summarizes the consideration for the business combinations completed by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Pro Forma Financial Information
The pro forma financial information set forth below reflects adjustments to the historical data of the Company to give effect to the acquisitions and related financing activities for (i) the 22 self storage properties discussed in Note 12 that were acquired subsequent to March 31, 2016, as if each acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2015, (ii) 15 of the 17 self storage properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2016, as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2015 (pro forma financial information is not presented for two of the self storage properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2016 since the information required is not available to the Company and (iii) each of the six self storage properties that were acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as if each had occurred on January 1, 2014 (five of the six properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2015 were acquired on January 1, 2015 and are therefore included in the historical results for the entirety of the three months ended March 31, 2015).
As described in greater detail above, given that certain information with respect to the self storage properties the Company acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and subsequent to March 31, 2016 is not available to the Company, readers of this Form 10-Q and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company's pro forma financial information. The pro forma information presented below does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations would have been for the periods indicated, nor does it purport to represent the Company's future results of operations. The following table summarizes on a pro forma basis the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (dollars in thousands):
