Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
In
February 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2016
-
02,
Leases (Topic
842
) (“ASU
2016
-
02”
)
, to provide a new comprehensive model for lease accounting.  Under this guidance, lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use” model in accounting for all leases (including subleases) and eliminate the concept of operating leases and off-balance sheet leases.  Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. Similar modifications have been made to lessor accounting in-line with revenue recognition guidance. This guidance was effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2018. 
The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements.
 
The Company adopted ASU

as amended, effective
January 1, 2019
using the modified retrospective approach.  In connection with the adoption, we elected to utilize the Comparatives Under
840
Option whereby the Company will continue to present prior period financial statements and disclosures under ASC
840.
  In addition, we elected the transition package of
three
practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.  Further, we elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to
not
apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of
12
months or less) and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets.  We implemented a new lease system to facilitate the requirements of the new standard and completed the necessary changes to our accounting policies, processes, disclosures and internal control over financial reporting.
 
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets in the amount of
$20.7
million and lease liabilities related to our operating leases in the amount of
$21.0
million on our consolidated balance sheet as of
January 1, 2019. 
The standard did
not
materially affect the Company’s consolidated net earnings or have any impact on cash flows.  See Note

Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic
220
): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
.  This guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted on
December 22, 2017. 
This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018,
and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized.  This guidance was adopted by the Company effective
January 1, 2019. 
In accordance with this guidance, the Company reclassified
$0.5
million of stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings within the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
January 1, 2019. 
The adoption of this guidance did

Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic

): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting
, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services.  This guidance will better align the treatment of share-based payments to nonemployees with the requirements for such share-based payments granted to employees.  This guidance is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within that year.  This guidance was adopted by the Company effective
