In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, as part of its simplification initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU No. 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU No. 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of GAAP. The guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
