BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Ultralife Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule
8
-
03
of Regulation S-
X.
Accordingly, they do
not
include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Results for interim periods should
not
be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto contained in our Form
10
-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018.
 
The
December 31, 2018
consolidated balance sheet data referenced herein was derived from audited financial statements, but does
not
include all disclosures required by GAAP.
 
Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
 
Our monthly closing schedule is a
4/4/5
weekly-based cycle for each fiscal quarter, as opposed to a calendar month-based cycle for each fiscal quarter. While the actual dates for the quarter-ends will change slightly each year, we believe that there are
not
any material differences when making quarterly comparisons.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
 
Leases
 
Effective
January 1, 2019,
the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update
2016
-
02
Leases
(Topic
842
).  Adoption of the new standard did
not
materially impact the prior year consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.  The prior year consolidated balance sheet has been revised for the effects of the new standard.  The effects to our consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2018
are presented below.
 
The Company adopted the new standard applying the modified retrospective approach. The Company measured and recognized leases upon adoption which had commenced as of the beginning or during the prior year. The package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard was elected which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification and determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease on existing leases. The use-of-hindsight transition practical expedient was applied to determine the lease term for existing leases, which resulted in the lengthening of the lease term at commencement for
one
of our operating facilities.
 
At contract inception, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease and determines the lease classification. The lease term is determined based on the noncancellable term of the lease adjusted to the extent optional renewal terms and termination rights are reasonably certain. Lease expense is recognized evenly over the lease term. Variable lease payments are recognized as period costs. The present value of remaining lease payments are recognized as a liability on the balance sheet with a corresponding right-of-use asset adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate for the discount rate, unless the interest rate implicit in the lease contract is readily determinable. The Company has adopted the practical expedients to
not
separate non-lease components from lease components and to
not
present short-term leases on the balance sheet.
 
The impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2018
is shown below.
