NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	16. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: Between February 2016 and February 2019, FASB issued ASC 842, and various related updates, which establish a comprehensive new lease accounting model. ASC 842 clarifies the definition of a lease, requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications, and requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease-term of more than twelve months. Under ASC 842, the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. ASC 842 is effective for our fiscal year 2020, including interim periods within the fiscal year, and requires modified retrospective application. We adopted ASC 842 on November 1, 2019 utilizing the transition method allowed per ASU 2018-11, and accordingly, comparative period financial information was not adjusted for the effects of adopting ASC 842 and no cumulative-effect adjustment was required to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date. See Note 9 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
