14. Right-of-use assets:

There is no discount rate implicit in the Anguilla office operating lease agreement, so the Company estimated a 5% discount rate for the incremental borrowing rate for the lease as of the adoption date, January 1, 2020. There is no discount rate implicit in the license agreement, so the Company estimated a 12% discount rate for the incremental borrowing rate for the licenses as of the adoption date, January 1, 2019.

Effective April 1, 2019, we recognized lease assets and liabilities of $125,474, in relation to the Vancouver office. We estimated a discount rate of 4.12%.

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842.

Additionally, we elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, our current offices, we elected the short-term lease exemption, which allowed us to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for qualifying leases existing at transition and new leases we may enter into in the future, as there is significant uncertainty on whether the leases will be renewed.
