Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the ASC and creates Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP on the balance sheet. On November 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842. As a result of the adoption of Topic 842, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities of $1,497,000 and $1,620,000, respectively. The Company does not have any finance lease ROU assets and liabilities. There was no change to our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows, as a result of the adoption. On November 1, 2018, the Company adopted the revenue recognition requirements of Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method which resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect of applying the standard to all contracts not completed as of the adoption date. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Revenue recognition remained substantially unchanged following adoption of Topic 606 and therefore the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on revenues. The primary impact of adopting Topic 606 relates to the accounting for nonrefundable up-front fees. The Company recognized revenue during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, of $15,046,000 under Topic 606, which was not materially different from what would have been recognized under Topic 605. The Company recorded an addition to opening accumulated deficit and a reduction to deferred revenue of approximately $66,000, respectively, as of November 1, 2018 due to the impact of adopting Topic 606. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), to clarify when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new standard, modification is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of an award as equity or liability changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended January 31, 2019, using the prospective method, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes Topic 740-Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application of Topic 740. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of Topic 740 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Current Expected Credit Losses” (ASU 2016-13), which introduces an impairment model based on expected, rather than incurred, losses. Additionally, it requires expanded disclosures regarding (a) credit risk inherent in a portfolio and how management monitors the portfolio’s credit quality; (b) management’s estimate of expected credit losses; and, (c) changes in estimates of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not yet quantified the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements. However, it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
