Note 13 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that have not been adopted by the Company as of December 31, 2018:


Standard	Description	Expected Date of Adoption	Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842)	This standard requires a lessee to recognize leases on its balance sheet by recording a lease liability representing the obligation to make future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee is permitted to make an election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The standard also modifies the definition of a lease and requires expanded disclosures. This standard may be early adopted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with certain available practical expedients.	January 1, 2019	We will adopt the accounting standard using a prospective transition approach, which applies the provisions of the new guidance at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. We have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical accounting relating to lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption. We have also elected the optional practical expedient permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard related to land easements that allows us to carry forward our historical accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements upon adoption. We have made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We are finalizing our evaluation of the impacts that the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and estimate approximately $1.6 million and $1.9 million of right-of-use assets and liabilities, respectively, will be recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheet upon adoption. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact to our results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)	This standard simplifies aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with accounting for employee share-based compensation. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor's own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. This standard may be early adopted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach.	January 1, 2019	Upon adoption of this standard, we expect to reclassify approximately $2.0 million from Share-based compensation liability to Additional paid-in-capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018. The fair value of share based compensation awards to non-employees will not be remeasured subsequent to December 31, 2018. The adoption of this standard will not have any impact to our results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2018-15, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)	The amendments in this update 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 accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update. Accordingly, the amendments in this update require an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. These amendments may be early adopted and are required to be applied retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.	January 1, 2020	We are currently evaluating the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additionally, the following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that were adopted by the Company during the reporting period:


Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and subsequent amendments thereto	This standard amends existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard may be early adopted beginning January 1, 2017. We elected to adopt this standard using a full retrospective approach.	January 1, 2018	The adoption of this new standard did not affect the amounts shown in our Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures as the Company has no revenues.
ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment	This standard simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement for an entity to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation. An entity will instead measure the impairment as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. This standard may be early adopted beginning January 1, 2017 and must be adopted prospectively.	January 1, 2018	The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.
ASU 2016‑16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory	This standard requires the immediate recognition of the tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This standard may be early adopted, but only at the beginning of an annual period, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach.	January 1, 2018	The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.
ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities	This standard principally affects accounting standards for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Upon the effective date of the new standards, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities, other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting, will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values.	January 1, 2018	Upon the adoption of this standard, we made a cumulative effect adjustment of $40 thousand to accumulated deficit for unrealized losses on our available-for-sale investment securities.
