Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” This accounting standard seeks to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Previously, US GAAP prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to a third party, which is an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in US GAAP. ASU No. 2016-16 eliminates this exception. The Company adopted this accounting standard using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings.
The impact of adopting this standard, by financial statement line item, on January 1, 2019 were as follows:
