3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company reviews new accounting pronouncements as they are issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Recently Implemented Accounting Standards

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) which had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures:

 

FASB Staff Q&A: On April 10, 2020, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff Q&A-Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic which stated that entities may elect to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as though the rights and obligations for those concessions existed as of the commencement of the contract rather than as a lease modification. Lessees may make the election for any lessor-provided lease concession related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as long as the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or in the obligations of the lessee. The Company has made such election. The Company has received immaterial rent concessions and has not entered into any lease modifications for the year ended

 

December 31, 2020. As such, this election did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements nor the related disclosures.

 

ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), This ASU requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the life of financial assets rather than the current incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when a probability threshold is met. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the following recently issued ASUs:

 

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), provides optional transition guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with optional expedients related to the application of GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The provisions of this ASU are effective upon issuance and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. Companies can apply this ASU immediately, but application is through December 31, 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of LIBOR on its existing contracts but does not expect that this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

 

ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, simplifies various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. Early adoption requires adoption of all amendments in the same period. Most amendments within this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2019-12 but does not expect that this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
