Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update Codification (“ASC”), “Leases” (“Topic 842” or “ASC 842”) on November 1, 2019. ASC 842, including all the related amendments subsequent to its issuance, supersedes the prior guidance for lease accounting and requires lessees to recognize a ROU asset representing the right to use an underlying asset and a lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments over the lease term for substantially all leases, as well as disclose key quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. Upon adoption, the Company recognized an operating lease liability of approximately $10.3 million and corresponding operating lease ROU assets of approximately $10.1 million. There was no cumulative effect of the adoption recorded to accumulated deficit. There was no significant net effect on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 11. “Leases” for additional information on the Company’s adoption of ASC 842. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The adoption of Topic 606 by the Company on November 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment that increased Accumulated deficit by $6.7 million. Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective There is no recent accounting guidance not yet effective that is expected to have a material impact on the financial statements when adopted.
