Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2020:

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). The amendments in ASU 2016-13 superseded much of the existing guidance for reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 affected loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. As of the quarter ended June 30, 2020, this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures nor is it expected to have a material impact in the future.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”) which removed, modified, and added additional disclosures related to fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. As of the quarter ended June 30, 2020, this guidance did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures nor is it expected to have a material impact in the future.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligned 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. The Company elected to apply the prospective transition approach and therefore applied the transition requirements to any eligible costs incurred after adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has not incurred any material implementation costs associated with new service contracts since the date of adoption.

In February 2020, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and

Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2020-02"). ASU 2020-02 provides interpretive guidance on methodologies and supporting documentation for measuring credit losses, with a focus on the documentation the SEC would normally expect registrants engaged in lending transactions to prepare and maintain to support estimates of current expected credit losses for loan transactions. The Company adopted ASU 2020-02 on February 6, 2020, as the ASU was effective upon issuance. As of the quarter ended June 30, 2020, this guidance did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures nor is it expected to have a material impact in the future.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments ("ASU 2020-03") to make improvements to ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). Public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding eligible smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, should adopt ASU 2020-03 during 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2020-03 on April 1, 2020. This guidance did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures nor is it expected to have a material impact in the future.

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt are as follows:

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which modifies ASC 740, Income Taxes, to reduce complexity in certain areas of accounting for income taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-12 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 ("ASU 2020-01"), to clarify the interaction among the accounting standards for equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. ASU 2020-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-01 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04") which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The relief granted in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform ("ASC 848"), is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform activities. The provisions of ASC 848 must be applied for all transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. Entities may apply the provisions as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made (i.e. as early as the first quarter 2020). Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-04 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures; however, does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
