Acquisitions
In 2012, as part of an acquisition of restaurants from Burger King Corporation ("BKC"), the Company was assigned BKC's right of first refusal on the sale of franchisee-operated restaurants in 20 states (the "ROFR"). Since the beginning of 2018, the Company has acquired an aggregate of 44 restaurants from other franchisees in the following transactions, some of which were subject to the ROFR (in thousands, except number of restaurants):

During the first quarter of 2018, the allocation of the purchase price and the resulting bargain purchase gain for this acquisition was preliminary and subject to adjustment. Specifically, the Company was finalizing the valuation of franchise rights which will impact the amount of the bargain purchase gain. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain because the fair value of assets acquired, largely representing a franchise right asset of $0.3 million, exceeded the total fair value of consideration paid by $0.2 million.

Acquisitions resulting from the exercise of the ROFR.

The results of operations for the restaurants acquired are included from the closing date of the respective acquisition. The 2018 acquired restaurants contributed restaurant sales of $13.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and contributed restaurant sales of $0.1 million in the three months ended April 1, 2018, respectively. It is impracticable to disclose net earnings for the post-acquisition period for the acquired restaurants as net earnings of these restaurants were not tracked on a collective basis due to the integration of administrative functions, including field supervision.
The unaudited pro forma impact on the results of operations for the restaurants acquired in 2018 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 is included below. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of any future consolidated operating results. The following table summarizes the Company's unaudited pro forma operating results:
