13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to present right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The guidance is to be applied at the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted.  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 - Leases. ASU 2018-10 clarifies and increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions.  The guidance is to be applied upon adoption of Topic 842 and is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018.  Also in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases. ASU 2018-11 provides clarification and an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard.  The guidance is to be applied upon adoption of Topic 842 and is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018.  In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements.  ASU No. 2019-01 aligns the new leases guidance with existing guidance for the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers and clarifies an exemption for lessors and lessees from a certain interim disclosure requirement associated with adopting the FASB’s new lease accounting standard.  The guidance is to be applied upon adoption of Topic 842 and is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018. See Note 3 – Right-of-Use Assets.

Upcoming

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740).  The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.  Early adoption of the amendments is permitted.  For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020.  The adoption of this amendment will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that could impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
