17. Leases

The Company elected to adopt the new lease guidance utilizing the modified retrospective approach therefore prior periods were not adjusted. The Company was not required to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of July 1, 2019. The Company applied the package of three practical expedients available, which included the following (i) an entity need not reassess expired or existing contracts are or contain leases (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of less than twelve months and to account for all components in a lease arrangement as a single combined lease component.

The Company has entered into leasing arrangements classified as operating leases under accounting guidance. These leasing arrangements relate primarily to the lease of our corporate head office, administration offices and branch locations through which the Company operates its financial services business in South Africa. The Company's operating leases have a remaining lease term of between one to four years. We also operate certain of our financial services business from locations which we lease for a period of less than one year.

The Company's operating lease expense during the three months ended September 30, 2019, was $0.9 million. The Company does not have any significant leases that have not commenced as of September 30, 2019.
