In October 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Update No. 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. This guidance clarifies, for each reporting period, that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security with multiple call dates is required to amortize any premium to the next call date. The updated guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and should be applied on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This ASC update clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting when using the measurement alternative under ASC 321. This update also clarifies the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC 815. The updated guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.  

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASC update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Taxes, including intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations, foreign subsidiary treatment under certain conditions and for calculating interim income taxes when the year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss. This update also clarifies and amends existing guidance related to changes in tax laws, business combinations and employee stock plans, among others. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
