As described in Note 1, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, advances and other receivables are within the scope of ASU 2016-13, and the Company modified its accounting policy regarding its assessment of reserves for credit-related losses in accordance with CECL framework. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company increased the CECL reserve by $8 and $14, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the total CECL reserve was $31, of which $14 and $17 was recorded in reserves and purchase discount for advances and other receivables, respectively.

Based upon the Company’s application of ASU 2016-13, the Company determined that the credit-related risk associated with applicable financial instruments typically increase with the passage of time. The CECL reserve methodology considers these financial instruments collectible to a point in time of 39 months. Any projected remaining balance at the end of the collection period is considered a loss and factors into the overall CECL loss rate required.
