2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):  Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”).  The purpose of this updated guidance is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date by replacing the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.  In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to (Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.  ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326-20, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measured at Amortized Costs,” which addresses financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including net investments in leases arising from sales-type and direct financing leases.  Impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).  The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04 (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”).  ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur.  Unlike most other ASU’s, the guidance in ASU 2020-04 will generally no longer be available to apply after December 31, 2022.  As of January 1, 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives.  Application of these expedients was applied prospectively and preserves the presentation of the Company’s derivatives consistent with past presentation, therefore, the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
