ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE

New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

On April 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases, or Accounting Standards Codification 842 (ASC 842) and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the lease accounting standard in effect for those periods.

The most significant effects of the standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements are (1) the recognition of new right-of-use asset and lease liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet for our operating lease, and (2) new disclosures about our leasing activities (see Note 12). The adoption did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations, balance sheet or cash flows.

We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard.  The new lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations.

We also adopted the following ASUs effective April 1, 2019, none of which had a material impact to our financial statements or financial statement disclosures: ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, and ASU 2018-02 Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
