Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 introduced a new approach to lessee accounting that requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases. IFRS 16 requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months. The IASB concluded that such an approach will result in a more faithful representation of a lessee’s assets and liabilities and, together with enhanced disclosures, greater transparency of a lessee’s financial leverage and capital employed.

We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, with an immaterial cumulative adjustment of $11,667 to accumulated deficit rather than retrospectively adjusting prior periods. We used an incremental borrowing rate as a discount rate for our operating leases. The discount rate ranges from 6.37% to 7.05%. The average remaining years for our lease are 0.71 years as of June 30, 2020.
