Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued but not yet adopted by the Company

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework” (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the updated provisions.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 was issued to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the updated provisions which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Recently adopted by the Company

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 “Comprehensive Income.” In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The new guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-02 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Accounting Standards Codification 842 “Leases” (“ASC 842”) In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” was issued. This ASU was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to (i) recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet to represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and the obligation to make lease payments and (ii) disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Some changes to the lessor accounting guidance were made to align both of the following: (i) the lessor accounting guidance with certain changes made to the lessee accounting guidance and (ii) key aspects of the lessor accounting model with revenue recognition guidance.

 

The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach for adoption for all leases that existed at or commenced after the date of initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. The package of practical expedients allowed the Company to not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The Company also used (i) hindsight when evaluating contractual lease options, (ii) the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component, and (iii) the portfolio approach which allows similar leased assets to be grouped and accounted for together. In addition, the Company implemented additional internal controls to evaluate future transactions in accordance with the standard.

 

The adoption of ASC 842 had a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated statement of operations or the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company did not recognize a material cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Because the modified retrospective approach was elected, the ASU was not applied to periods prior to adoption and did not have an impact on previously reported results. At adoption, the Company recognized operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities that reflect the present value of the future payments. As the rate implicit in the lease could not be determined for any of the Company’s leases, an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 5.5% was used to determine the present value of lease payments. Based on the impact of ASC 842 on the lease population, the Company recorded $4.4 million in lease liabilities and $4.2 million for ROU assets based upon the lease liabilities adjusted for deferred rent. See Note 8 for additional information on leases.

 

SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification”, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule became effective on November 5, 2018, and the Company adopted the requirements in the first quarter of 2019. See “Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.”
