Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement - Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842"), which relates to the accounting for leasing transactions. This standard requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for leases. Classification of leases as either a finance or operating lease determines the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses. This accounting standards update also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. Leases acquired to explore for or use minerals, oil or natural gas resources, including the right to explore for those natural resources and rights to use the land in which those natural resources are contained, are not within the scope of the standards update.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach and elected to use the optional transition methodology whereby reporting periods prior to adoption continue to be presented in accordance with legacy accounting guidance, Accounting Standard Codification 840 - Leases. Upon transition, we recognized a ROU asset (or operating lease right-of-use asset) and an operating lease liability with no retained earnings impact. We applied the following practical expedients as provided in the standards update which provide elections to not reassess:


•	Not to apply the recognition requirements in the lease standard to short-term leases (a lease that at commencement date has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise).


•	Whether an expired or existing pre-adoption date contracts contained leases.


•	Lease classification of any expired or existing leases.


•	Initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.


•	Not to separate lease components from non-lease components in a contract and accounting for the combination as a lease (reflected by asset class).

Adoption of the new standard did not impact our unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations, cash flows or stockholders’ equity. At adoption we recorded our operating lease as follows:



Asset (Liability)	Balance June 30, 2019			Adjustment at Adoption July 1, 2019
Operating lease right-of-use asset	$	—		$	161,125
Accrued liabilities and other:
Deferred rent	$	(4,338	)	$	4,338
Operating lease liability	$	—		$	(26,194	)
Operating lease liabilities - long-term	$	—		$	(139,269	)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, and requires the use of a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Early adoption is permitted and entities must adopt the amendment using a modified retrospective approach to the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. For smaller reporting companies, as provided by Accounting Standards Update 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is currently not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes ("Topic 740") - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements.
