10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-07 (ASU 2018-07) Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Currently, Topic 718 only includes share-based payments to employees. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-07 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability in the balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases, with terms of more than twelve months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous guidance. The amendments also require qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied on a modified retrospective basis. We anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all the potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact relates to our accounting for our office lease. Under the new guidance, the net present value of the obligation for our office lease will appear on the balance sheet. Currently, it is classified as an operating lease and payments are expensed in the period incurred.
