Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements,” to Topic 842 which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of Topic 842 as the date of initial application of transition, which the Company elected. As permitted under Topic 842, the Company adopted several practical expedients that permit us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contract as of the adoption date is or contain a lease, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the adoption date. As a result of the adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded both operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $2,602,000 and operating lease liabilities of $2,622,000. The cumulative-effect adjustment is immaterial to its beginning accumulated deficit upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 as the adjustment was considered immaterial. The adoption of Topic 842 had an immaterial impact on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company’s accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The Company has expanded its consolidated financial statement disclosure upon adoption of this standard (see “Note 4 – Leases”). In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU allows for the reclassification of certain income tax effects related to the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act legislation between “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and “Retained earnings.” This ASU relates to the requirement that adjustments to deferred tax liabilities and assets related to a change in tax laws or rates be included in “Income from continuing operations”, even in situations where the related items were originally recognized in “Other comprehensive income” (rather than in “Income from continuing operations”). ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this ASU is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the tax laws or rates were recognized. The adoption of ASU 2018-09 by the Company effective January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. ASU 2018-07 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-09 by the Company effective January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Not Yet Adopted | Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”).” The standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables and loans. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements.
