Note 2. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

(a) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. 

Issued in January 2020, the amendments in this update affect all entities that apply the guidance in Topics 321, 323, and 815 and (1) elect to apply the measurement alternative or (2) enter into a forward contract or purchase an as option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the guidance included in Topic 815 to its derivative liabilities but does not intend on applying the new measurement alternative included in the update. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.

Issued in December 2019, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to guidance in Topic 740. The specific areas of potential simplification were submitted by stakeholders as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

(b) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU No. 2016-13”)

On January 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 using a modified-retrospective approach. This standard changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model and adds certain new required disclosures. Under the expected loss model, entities will recognize estimated credit losses to be incurred over the entire contractual term of the instrument rather than delaying recognition of credit losses until it is probable the loss has been incurred.  Adoption of this standard did not result in an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU No. 2018-13”)

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13. This amendment provides updates to the disclosure requirements on fair value measures in Topic 820, which includes the changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the option of additional quantitative information surrounding unobservable inputs and the elimination of disclosures around the valuation processes for Level 3 measurements. The amendments on 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 have been applied prospectively beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. All other amendments have been applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements.

(c) Presentation

Certain balances in the 2019 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the 2020 financial statements, primarily the classification and presentation of certain items in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. Such reclassifications did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
