Accounting pronouncements adopted

ASC Topic 326 - Credit Losses

On July 1, 2020, we adopted Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which was primarily introduced under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. Topic 326 introduces a new credit loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost, requiring recognition of the full lifetime expected credit losses upon initial recognition of the financial asset and each reporting period, replacing current GAAP, which generally requires that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The expected credit loss model is based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts of collectability.

The Company adopted Topic 326 using the modified retrospective approach through an adjustment to retained earnings, and began calculating our allowance for accounts and finance receivables under an expected loss model rather than an incurred loss model.

We estimate our allowances using an aging analysis of the receivables balances, primarily based on historical loss experience, as there have been no significant changes in the mix or risk characteristics of the receivable revenue streams used to calculate historical loss rates. We also take into consideration that receivables for monthly service fees that are collected as part of the flow of funds from our transaction processing service have a lower risk profile than receivables for equipment and service fees billed under the Company’s standard payment terms of 30 to 60 days from invoice issuance, and adjust our aging analysis to incorporate those risk assessments. Current conditions are analyzed at each measurement date as we reassess whether our receivables continue to exhibit similar risk characteristics as the prior measurement date, and determine if the reserve calculation needs to be adjusted for new developments, such as a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations. Lastly, we also factor reasonable and supportable economic expectations into our allowance estimate for the asset’s entire expected life, which is generally less than one year for accounts receivable and five years for finance receivables.

The adoption of this pronouncement on July 1, 2020 resulted in a net increase of $0.3 million in retained earnings, with an offsetting adjustment to the allowance for doubtful accounts and finance receivables.

The following table represents a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts and finance receivables for the six months ending December 31, 2020:

ASU 2018-15 - Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Internal-Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Internal-Use Software.” This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The adoption of this ASU on July 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements to be adopted

The Company is evaluating whether the effects of the following recent accounting pronouncements, or any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, will have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the changes to have a material impact on its financial statements.

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This standard provides practical expedients for contract modifications with the transition from reference rates, such as LIBOR, that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for the Company's revolving credit facility and secured term facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which uses LIBOR as a reference rate. In addition, the facility provides for an alternative rate of interest if LIBOR is discontinued. The Company will continue to evaluate ASU 2020-04 to determine the timing and extent to which we will apply the provided accounting relief.

ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, “Codification Improvements.” The purpose of the ASU is to update a variety of ASC Topics to make conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the changes to have a material impact on its financial statements.
