Operating Leases
 
The Company adopted the ASU Topic
842
- Leases beginning
January 1, 2019
and adopted the practical expedients consistently for all of its leases. Accordingly, the Company:
 
 
Did
not
reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases.
 
Did
not
reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases.
 
Did
not
reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.
 
In addition, the Company elected to retrospectively determine the lease term and assess impairment of right of use asset.
 
At the date of transition, the Company recognized an operating lease liability and right of use asset. The amount of lease liability is equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments as of
January 1, 2019
discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of
4.89%.
 
A right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the amount of deferred straight-line rent, prepaid rent and lease incentive allowances previously recognized.
 
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if
one
of the following applies:
 
 
a.
there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;
 
 
b.
a renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term;
 
 
c.
there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or
 
 
d.
there is a substantial change to the asset.
 
Whenever a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c) or (d) and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b).
 
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
The Company has operating lease agreements for each of its offices. The Company has determined that the risks and benefits related to the leased properties are retained by the lessors. Accordingly, these are accounted for as operating leases. These lease agreements are for terms ranging from
5.25
to
5.33
years and provide for rental escalations of approximately
2.1%.
 
The following table presents the maturity profile of the Company’s operating lease liabilities based on the contractual undiscounted payments with a reconciliation of these amounts to the remaining net present value of the operating lease liability reported in the balance sheet as of
March 
31,
2019.
