On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective method. This ASU, as subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20, requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under the previous guidance. The Company elected the practical expedient under ASU 2018-11, and used October 1, 2019, the beginning of the period of adoption, as its date of initial application. The Company elected the set of practical expedients upon transition which will retain the lease classification for leases and any unamortized initial direct costs that existed prior to the adoption of the standard.

The Company’s existing operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease obligations were less than 1% of the Company's total assets as of December 31, 2019, had remaining terms of less than 12 months and were not considered material to the Company; and therefore, the adoption of the standard had no related impact on the Company’s Balance Sheets as of October 1, 2019. Additionally, there was no related impact on the Company’s Statements of Operations, and the standard had no impact on the Company’s debt covenant compliance under existing agreements.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by considering whether (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the agreement and (ii) the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the agreement. As of September

30, 2020, none of the Company’s leases were classified as financing leases. Operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company signed a new seven-year lease for office space during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with a commencement date in August 2020. The associated lease liability and ROU asset at September 30, 2020, were $1,048,733 and $690,316, respectively. The Company has a lease incentive asset of $344,000, which is included in Other, net on the Company’s Balance Sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized at commencement date and consist of the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term, initial direct costs and prepaid lease payments less any lease incentives. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate, when readily determinable, or its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.

The lease terms may include periods covered by options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option and periods covered by options to terminate the lease when it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with terms, including applicable options, of less than twelve months on the Company’s Balance Sheets and recognize those lease payments in the Company’s Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that the Company’s assumptions and expectations change, it may have to revise its ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.
