ASU No. 2016-02. In February 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new lease standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected the available package of practical expedients upon adoption, which allowed the Company to carry forward its historical assessment of whether existing agreements contained a lease and the classification of its existing operating leases. Upon adoption, the Company recognized an operating right-of use asset and operating lease liability in its condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $14.6 million and $24.2 million, respectively. The Company also classified deferred rent of $9.6 million as an offset to the Company’s operating right-of-use asset upon adoption. There were no adjustments to the Company’s opening accumulated deficit balance upon adoption.

The impact of the adoption of Topic 842 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:



	ASC 840					Topic 842
