The initial purchase accounting is based on management's preliminary assessment, which may differ when final information becomes available. Subsequent adjustments made to the initial purchase accounting, if any, are made within the measurement period, which will be finalized within one year of the acquisition date.
As shown above, the Company recorded approximately $107.6 million of goodwill related to the Cloverleaf Acquisition. The strategic benefits of the acquisition include the Company's ability to add complementary customers into its network, provide an opportunity for growth in the Central and Southeast markets, deepen existing customer relationships, provide three expansion opportunities that are already under construction, provide one development opportunity and leverage integration experience to drive synergies and further enhance the warehouse network for new and existing customers. These factors contributed to the goodwill that was recorded upon consummation of the transaction. The Company believes that a portion of the goodwill recorded as a result of the Cloverleaf Acquisition will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. The assignment of goodwill to each reportable segment is not yet complete.
As shown above, in connection with the Cloverleaf Acquisition the Company recorded an intangible asset of approximately $241.7 million for customer relationships which has been assigned a useful life of 25 years, and approximately $1.6 million for trade names and trademarks which has been assigned a useful life of 1.5 years. These intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives.

Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma financial information set forth below is based on the historical condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, adjusted to give effect to the Cloverleaf Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018. The pro forma adjustments primarily relate to acquisition expenses, depreciation expense on acquired assets, amortization of acquired intangibles, and estimated interest expense related to financing transactions, the proceeds of which were used to fund the acquisition of Cloverleaf.

On March 1, 2019, Cloverleaf acquired Zero Mountain, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Zero Mountain). As a result, we have included the results of operations of Zero Mountain in the below pro forma financial information. The pro forma adjustments made include the acquisition expenses incurred in connection with Cloverleaf's acquisition of Zero Mountain.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements exclude the results of the Lanier acquisition, which was deemed immaterial, and are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of the Company or the operating partnership would have been had the Cloverleaf Acquisition occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of what the results of operations would be for any future periods.
