NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (as amended by ASU 2017-13, 2018-01, 2018-10 & 11, 2018-20, and 2019-01, collectively ASC Topic 842), using the modified retrospective method. The Company elected the transition method which allows entities to initially apply the requirements by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. As a result of electing this transition method, previously reported financial information has not been restated to reflect the application of the new standard to the comparative periods presented. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward certain historical conclusions reached under ASC Topic 840 regarding lease identification, classification, and the accounting treatment of initial direct costs. The Company elected not to record assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for new or existing lease arrangements with terms of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes lease expenses for such lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The primary impact of applying ASC Topic 842 is the initial recognition of approximately $15,000 of lease liability and right-of-use asset on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2019, for lease classified as operating lease under ASC Topic 840, as well as enhanced disclosure of the Company's leasing arrangement. There is no cumulative effect to accumulated deficit or other components of equity recognized as of October 1, 2019 and the adoption of this standard did not impact the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss or consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company. The Company does not have finance lease arrangements as of December 31, 2019. See Note 8 for further discussion.
