Leases. This guidance was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective approach and is effective for the Company in

2019.

The Company has developed a comprehensive project plan and established a cross-functional implementation team to evaluate the impact of the standard. The project plan includes evaluating the Company’s lease portfolio, analyzing the standard’s impact on the Company’s various types of lease contracts and identifying the reporting requirements of the standard. While the Company does

not

anticipate the impact to the statement of comprehensive income to be material, it is still calculating the impact the lease asset and lease liability will have on the balance sheet.
