Acquisition
On January 10, 2019, our wholly owned subsidiary VSE Aviation, Inc. ("VSE Aviation") acquired 100% of the equity of 1st Choice Aerospace Inc. ("1st Choice Aerospace"), a provider of MRO services and products for new generation and legacy commercial aircraft platforms. 1st Choice Aerospace has operations in Florida and Kentucky. Key members of 1st Choice Aerospace's management team were retained under three-year employment contracts with five-year non-compete covenants.
The initial purchase consideration paid at closing for 1st Choice Aerospace was approximately $113 million, which included $1.1 million as an estimated net working capital adjustment. We will also be required to make earn-out payments of up to $40 million if 1st Choice Aerospace meets certain financial targets during 2019 and 2020. Approximately $1.1 million of our closing payments were deposited into an escrow account to secure the sellers' indemnification obligations. Any amount remaining in such escrow account at the end of the indemnification period less any then pending indemnification claims will be distributed to the sellers. 1st Choice Aerospace's results of operations are included in our Aviation Group in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date of January 10, 2019. 1st Choice Aerospace had revenues of approximately $63.0 million and operating income of approximately $14.0 million before amortization of intangible assets of approximately $3.3 million and allocated corporate costs of approximately $1.7 million from the acquisition date through December 31, 2019.
The purchase accounting entries above include the impact of the Section 338(h)(10) election under the current U.S. tax code. We reflected the $1.7 million impact of this election in the purchase price. Our tax advantages resulting from the 338(h) (10) election are expected to significantly exceed the additional payment that was made to the sellers.
We completed our purchase price allocation. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded an increase to goodwill of $17.2 million related to measurement-period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. The measurement-period adjustments were primarily related to reduction of $5.9 million to the valuation of intangibles - trade name, as well as a $9.8 million and $1.7 million adjustments to the fair value of the earn-out obligation and Section 338(h)(10) election, respectively, that increased the purchase price. The measurement-period adjustments were not significant to our previously reported consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
The fair values assigned to our earn-out obligation and intangible assets acquired were based on estimates, assumptions, and other information compiled by management, including independent valuations that utilized established valuation techniques. Based on the Company's valuation, the total consideration of approximately $113 million (excluding any earn-out payments), which includes a final cash and net working capital consideration of $1.1 million, has been allocated to assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets and goodwill) and liabilities assumed, as follows (in thousands):
The value attributed to customer relationships is being amortized on a straight-line basis using weighted average useful lives of 18 years. The value attributed to trade name is being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. The amount of goodwill recorded for our 1st Choice Aerospace acquisition was approximately $77.8 million, all of which is expected to be amortizable for income tax purposes. The goodwill recognized reflects the strategic advantage of expanding our sustainment services into the aviation supply chain market.
We incurred approximately $408 thousand of acquisition-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The following VSE consolidated pro forma results are prepared as if the 1st Choice Aerospace acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018. Significant pro forma adjustments incorporated into the pro forma results below include the recognition of additional amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets and additional interest expense related to debt incurred to finance the acquisition. Significant nonrecurring adjustments include the elimination of non-recurring acquisition-related expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019. This information is for comparative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect the results that would have occurred or may occur in the future.
The unaudited consolidated pro forma results of operations are as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):
