Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases. Additional guidance and targeted improvements to ASU No. 2016-02 were made through the issuance of supplemental ASUs in July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019, or collectively with ASU No. 2016-02, the Lease Standard. We adopted the Lease Standard on January 1, 2019. The Lease Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The Lease Standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Upon adoption, we applied the package of practical expedients that allowed us not to reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases and (iv) the option to initially apply the Lease Standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, although we did not have such an adjustment. Additionally, our leases met the criteria not to separate non-lease components from the related lease component.
As a lessor. We are required to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Adoption of the Lease Standard did not have a material impact in our condensed consolidated financial statements for our leases where we are the lessor.
As a lessee. We are required to record right of use assets and lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for leases with terms greater than 12 months, where we are the lessee. We recorded right of use assets and related lease liabilities of $77,010 upon implementation of the Lease Standard. Adoption of the Lease Standard did not have a material effect in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for our leases where we are the lessee.
See Note 8 for further information regarding our leases and the adoption of the Lease Standard.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
