and Liabilities
 
Effective
October 1, 
2019,
the Company adopted ASU
2016
-
02,
and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic
842.
For the Company, Topic
842
affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company leases the premises for
two
New Jersey office facilities under operating lease agreements expiring in various years through
2023.
The Company is responsible to pay all insurance, utilities, maintenance and repairs on the office spaces. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases.
 
On
October 1, 2019,
the Company recorded additional lease liabilities of approximately
$636,000
attributable to the Company’s operating leases based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments with an increase to right-of-use assets of approximately
$636,000.
The Company used
3.5%
as its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the net present value of its leases on
October 1, 2019.
As of
December 31, 2019,
the Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately
$545,000
and
$540,000,
respectively.

The sublease agreement in Fort Lee, New Jersey expires on
March 31, 2023
and does
not

not
reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases.
●An entity need
not
reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases.
●An entity need
not
reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.
●An entity
may
elect to apply hindsight to leases that existed during the period from the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements until the effective date.
 
The Company also elected
not
to include short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of
twelve
months or less) or insignificant equipment leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as provided for in the accounting guidance.
