The total gross carrying amounts of the Company's intangible assets subject to amortization, including any intangible assets associated with the Acquired Businesses, were $30.6 million and $20.5 million at November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018, respectively, and were included in other noncurrent assets on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intangible amortization expense from continuing operations related to such intangible assets was $0.5 million for the three months ended November 30, 2018 and 2017. Excluding goodwill, the Company did not have any significant intangible assets with indefinite lives as of November 30, 2018.
