⁽¹⁾	Amounts include the impact of foreign currency translation. Fully amortized amounts are written off.

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $5.0 and $2.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $15.7 and $7.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We estimate amortization expense to be recognized during the next five years as follows:



For the Year Ending December 31,
2018	$	21.0
2019	20.8
2020	18.8
2021	14.4
2022	14.3

See Note 9, “Business Combinations” for further information related to intangible assets acquired in the Hudson Products acquisition.

Government Grants

We received certain government grants related to land use rights for capacity expansion in China (“China Government Grants”). China Government Grants are generally recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and generally recognized into income over the useful life of the associated assets (10 to 50 years).

China Government Grants are presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:



	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Current	$	0.5	$	0.5
Long-term	7.7		8.7
Total China Government Grants	$	8.2	$	9.2

We also received government grants from certain local jurisdictions within the United States, which are recorded in other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and were not significant for the periods presented.
