The amount allocated to goodwill for Air Serv, HHA, and Blackjack is reflective of our identification of buyer-specific synergies that we anticipate will be realized by, among other things, reducing duplicative positions and back office functions and by reducing professional fees and other services. Goodwill is also attributable to expected long-term business growth through the expansion of our vertical market expertise in servicing the end-to-end needs of airlines, airport authorities, and healthcare service markets. Goodwill for the Alpha, Calvert-Jones, and BEST acquisitions is attributable to projected long-term business growth through our expansion of existing vertical and geographic building and energy solutions market offerings.

Acquisition-related costs were $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2014, respectively, and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income.
