Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Current Expected Credit Losses. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 326 ("ASC 326") Financial Instruments - Credit Losses on January 1, 2020, via a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. ASC 326 replaced the incurred loss impairment model under which credit losses were recognized when probable. The new guidance requires recognition of credit losses when expected based on a broad range of information, including historical experience and current economic conditions. To implement the standard, the Company applied an aging based methodology using historic loss experience and aging categories. Where necessary, the Company segregated receivables into pools with common characteristics. In addition, where appropriate and where the available information indicated that losses would be minimal, an estimated loss rate was applied. In all cases, losses are recognized when expected. The Company holds no material financing receivables and no other financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company's adoption of the Credit Loss Standard had the following impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position:

Retained earnings	$	125,763	$	(1,871)	$	123,892

Fair Value Measurement. In January 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework (Topic 820): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement in January 2020. This guidance modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company's adoption of these disclosure requirements had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedging relationships to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The optional expedients were available to be used upon issuance of this guidance but we have not yet applied the guidance because we have also not yet modified any of our existing contracts in reference to the rate reform. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The new standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes, performing intra-period allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The new standard also adds guidance intended to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
