RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach that resulted in a material adjustment to our balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019 we adjusted our opening balance to record the effect of adopting ASC 842 by approximately $0.4 million. As a result, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 was an increase to assets and liabilities of approximately $17.8 million. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 840. In the adoption of ASC 842, we elected to use the package of available practical expedients with the exception of hindsight.
