Note 3. – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective March 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended by ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842) – Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements, ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842) – Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, and ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) – Codification Improvements, (collectively, the new leases standard or Topic 842). The new standard established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that required lessees to record ROU assets and lease obligations on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.

We adopted Topic 842 in first quarter fiscal 2020 using the modified retrospective method and utilized the optional transition method under which we continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative period presented. Therefore, the adjustment to recognize the Company’s leases on the balance sheet related to the adoption of the new standard was recorded as of the adoption date and prior periods were not restated.

As part of the adoption of Topic 842, we elected to adopt certain of the optional practical expedients, including the package of practical expedients, which, among other things, gives us the option to not reassess: 1) whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; 2) the lease classification for expired or existing leases; and 3) initial direct costs for existing leases. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components, which allows us to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient in our determination of the lease term for existing leases; therefore, the original lease terms, as determined under ASC 840, were used in the calculation of the Company’s initial Topic 842 lease liabilities.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $2.1 million as of March 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on retained earnings, the consolidated statements of operations or the consolidated statements of cash flows.
