Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to record assets and liabilities reflecting the leased assets and lease obligations, respectively, while following the dual model for recognition in statements of income requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance.  Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases).  We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019, as allowed, using the modified retrospective approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating comparative periods.  The only lease that we have is the real estate lease for our headquarters facility.  As of January 1, 2019, the adoption of the standard resulted in recognition of an operating right-of-use, or ROU, liability of approximately $1,077,123 and an operating ROU asset of $1,077,123.  These amounts are based on the present value of such commitments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.  The standard does not materially affect our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.  See Note 9 for further information.

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-7”), which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
