The Company does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. Revisions Certain revisions have been made to the December 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to conform to the current year presentation relating to a reclassification of long-term operating lease liabilities to current operating lease liabilities. The reclassification resulted in an increase of current operating lease liabilities of $476 thousand and a decrease of long-term operating lease liabilities of $476 thousand. These revisions had no impact on previously reported earnings, net income or cash flows and are deemed immaterial to the previously issued financial statements.
