Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC Topic 606, “

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

,” (Topic 606), using the modified retrospective method for all contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Comparative prior period information continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented. Topic 606 superseded the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Topic 606 requires the Company 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. The new guidance requires the Company to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard was $(76) and has been recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative adjustment relates primarily to the recognition of revenue for free archive storage offered to customers. Gross sales and deferred revenue of $(76), respectively, were recorded as part of the cumulative effect adjustment. The comparative information has not been restated and it is reported in accordance with accounting standard Topic 605, which was in effect for those periods.

On October 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which addresses eight specific cash flow issues and is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on leases which, for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects of adoption and have not yet determined the impact the revised guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,

Business Combinations – Clarifying the definition of a business

(Topic 805). This ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of providing a more robust framework to evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date.
