Recent Accounting Pronouncements RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On January 1, 2021, the Partnership adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions to general principles in ASC 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance within U.S. GAAP. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.    

On January 1, 2020, the Partnership adopted ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which required the Partnership to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaced the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which will expand the scope of FASB ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The standard is effective for the Partnership's financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019. The result of this adoption did not have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

    In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged and substantially all of our leases will continue to be classified as operating leases under the new standard. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management are required.  The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to FASB ASC 842, which includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842, Leases, as the date of initial application of transition. The Partnership adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, electing the transition option provided under ASU 2018-11.
    The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Partnership elected the "package of practical expedients", which permits the Partnership not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Partnership elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those assets that qualify, the Partnership did not recognize Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.
