4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“Topic 842”), which requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for most leases that do not meet the definition of a short-term lease and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or financing. The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and elected to apply the transition method that allows companies to continue applying guidance under the lease standard in effect at that time in the comparative period financial statements and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet on the date of adoption. The Company has also elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and indirect costs and to not separate lease and non-lease components.

 

Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a right of use asset of $28,000 and an operating lease liability of $28,000. Comparative periods have not been restated. For additional information regarding how the Company is accounting for leases under Topic 842, refer to Note 4.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, “Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808)” (“Topic 808”), which clarifies the interaction between Topic 808 and ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Customers.” The update provides guidance on whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for with revenue under ASC Topic 606 and provide more comparability in the presentation of revenue for certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants. This will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 808 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
