SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) the valuation of accounts receivable; (2) goodwill, trade names, and other intangible assets; (3) other long-lived assets; (4) share-based compensation; (5) accruals for health, workers’ compensation, and professional liability claims; (6) valuation of deferred tax assets; (7) purchase price allocation; (8) fair value of interest rate swap agreement; (9) legal contingencies; (10) contingent considerations; (11) income taxes; and (12) sales and other non-income tax liabilities. Accrued insurance claims and reserves include estimated settlements from known claims and actuarial estimates for claims incurred but not reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restructuring Costs

The Company considers restructuring activities to be programs whereby it fundamentally changes its operations, such as closing and consolidating facilities, reducing headcount, and realigning operations in response to changing market conditions. As a result, restructuring costs on the consolidated statements of operations include on-going benefit costs for its employees, exit costs, and other costs including write-offs related to abandoned locations.

Effective January 1, 2019, in conjunction with the adoption of ASC 842, certain office locations that the Company vacated in connection with restructuring activities were included in the measurement of its beginning operating lease liabilities. Previous accruals related to these locations of $0.3 million have been presented as a reduction to the operating lease right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Reconciliation of the on-going benefit costs beginning and ending liability balance is presented below:



	On-Going Benefit Costs
	(amounts in thousands)
Balance at January 1, 2019	$	556
Charged to restructuring costs	1,104
Payments	(373		)
Balance at March 31, 2019	$	1,287

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires that, as lessee, leases, as defined by the standard, are to be recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and as lease liabilities. The Company elected not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases, and to apply the transition method, which is applied prospectively, measuring and recognizing the initial right-of-use asset and liability at January 1, 2019, without revising comparative period information or disclosure. In addition, the Company elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed the Company to forego assessment of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification, and (3) initial direct costs. Consistent with current accounting, all of the Company's existing leases identified under ASC 840 will be treated as operating leases. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each as a single lease component, for all of its underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all expenses associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease expenses.

As of the later of January 1, 2019 or each lease’s respective commencement date, the Company recorded lease liabilities equal to the present value of its remaining minimum lease payments and right-of-use assets equal to the corresponding lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments and the remaining balance of lease incentives received. At the transition date, the right of use asset and total lease liabilities were $22.0 million and $28.6 million, respectively. The difference between the right-of use-asset and lease liabilities is due to the derecognition of accrued lease payments of $7.2 million, previously included in other current and non-current liabilities, and prepaid rent of $0.6 million, previously included in prepaid expenses. See Note 10 - Leases.
