In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) as amended by multiple standards updates. The new standard provides that a lessee should recognize the assets and the liabilities that arise from leases, including operating leases. Under the new requirements, a lessee will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and the right-of-use asset representing the right to the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, the lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities.

The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. Topic 842 permits two transition methods: (1) a modified retrospective transition method requiring retrospective adjustment of each comparative presented with an adjusting entry at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and (2) a modified retrospective approach with no restatement of prior periods and an adjusting entry as of the effective date. Under both transition methods, entities may elect certain transition practical expedients that would be required to be applied to all leases.

The Company adopted the standard in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method that does not require retrospective adjustment of the comparative periods. The Company reviewed existing leases to determine the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. Implementation had an immaterial cumulative effect on retained earnings. Adoption resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of approximately $10.7 million, and lease liabilities of approximately $11.2 million.

Upon adoption, the Company elected practical expedients related to a) short term lease exemption b) not separate lease and non-lease components c) not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, d) not reassess lease classification for existing or expired leases and e) not consider whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would be appropriate under the new standard.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2018, the FASB updated the Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this update affect reporting entities that are required to

determine whether they should consolidate a legal entity under the guidance within the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall. Indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests.

The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
