Fair Value Measurement (Topic
820
) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements.
This ASU removes requirements to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level
1
and Level
2
of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level
3
fair value measurements. ASU
2018

clarifies that disclosure regarding measurement uncertainty is intended to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. ASU
2018
-
13
adds certain disclosure requirements, including disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level
3
fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level
3
fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2019.
The amendments related to changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level
3
fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively for all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption of ASU

“Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement,” which was issued in

Specifically, ASU

aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). For public business entities, the ASU was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2019,
with early adoption permitted.
 
The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is
not
affected by the amendments in this update.
 
The amendments in this ASU also require the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. The term of the hosting arrangement includes the non-cancellable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by (
1
) an option to extend the arrangement if the customer is reasonably certain to exercise that option, (
2
) an option to terminate the arrangement if the customer is reasonably certain
not
to exercise the termination option, and (
3
) an option to extend (or
not
to terminate) the arrangement in which exercise of the option is in the control of the vendor. The entity also is required to apply the existing impairment guidance in Subtopic
350
-
40
to the capitalized implementation costs as if the costs were long-lived assets.
 
The amendments in this ASU also require the entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation costs in the consolidated balance sheets in the same line item that a repayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented.

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
. The ASU changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost to a current expected loss (“CECL”) model. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of a financial instrument from the date of initial recognition of the instrument. The ASU also changes the existing impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. In cases where there is neither the intent nor a more-likely-than-
not
requirement to sell the debt security, an entity will record credit losses as an allowance rather than a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis. Additionally, ASU

notes that credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities and purchased credit impaired loans should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU

is effective for fiscal years beginning after

including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after

which amends the effective date of ASC
326
for smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, and other non-SEC reporting entities, and delays the effective date to fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2022,
including interim periods within those fiscal periods. As the Company is a small reporting company, the delay will be applicable to the Company. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

“Income Taxes (Topic
740
) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.”
The guidance issued in this update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC
740
related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition for deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU

also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The ASU will be effective for the Company on
January 1, 2021,
with early adoption permitted, and is
not
expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
