LEASES

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and the series of related Accounting Standards Updates that followed (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”). Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The accounting for leases where the Company is the lessor remains largely unchanged. In addition, the new standard requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2019. Prior comparative periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods (ASC 840). The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allows us to carry-forward historical lease classifications. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from nonlease components for all asset classes, and we elected the short-term lease recognition exemption whereby ROU assets and lease liabilities will not be recognized for leasing arrangements with terms less than one year.

The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets of $1.14 million, current operating lease liabilities of $0.27 million, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities of $0.96 million. Adoption of this standard had no impact on the statement of operations or retained earnings.

Lessee

The Company’s leases primarily include operating leases for corporate offices. These leases have a remaining lease term of less than one year to four years, and include options to extend the leases for up to five years. Certain of our leases include variable payments for lessor operating expenses that are not included within ROU assets and lease liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. We also sublease office space to a third party, which has a remaining term of less than one year.

Beginning January 1, 2019, operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Operating leases in effect prior to January 1, 2019 were recognized at the present value of the remaining payments on the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019. Because most of the Company's leases do not provide an explicit rate of return, the Company's incremental secured borrowing rate based on lease term information available at the commencement date of the lease will be used in determining the present value of lease payments. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in General and administration expenses. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
