Recent Accounting Pronouncements RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842), which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing ROU lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Update 2016-02 maintains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases, which is substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. Retaining this distinction allows the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease to remain similar to the previous accounting treatment. A lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to exclude from balance sheet recognition any ROU lease assets and lease liabilities with a term of 12 months or less, and instead to recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For both financing and operating leases, the ROU asset and lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments in the statement of financial position. As discussed in Note 11 - Leases, the Company adopted Update 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides optional targeted transition relief to entities adopting ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The measurement of expected credit losses will be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU 2019-05 provides the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. The amendments in this ASU will be applied using the modified-retrospective approach and, for public entities, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
