is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2018,

million and lease liability for operating leases of

million as of

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
, which permits entities to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) to reinvested earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as "stranded tax effects." The amendments in this update only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. Other accounting guidance that requires the effect of changes in tax laws or rates to be included in net income from continuing operations is

affected by this update. The Company adopted ASU

and has elected to
not
reclassify any amounts to retained earnings. Under the Company's existing policy, any existing stranded tax effects will be eliminated when the underlying circumstances upon which it was premised cease to exist.   
 
The Company evaluated other recent accounting pronouncements and does
not
expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
