Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Principles of Consolidation [Policy Text Block] | (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harvard Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block] | (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of management estimates. Such estimates include the determin ation and establishment of certain accruals and provisions, including those for inventory excess and obsolescence, income tax and reserves for bad debts. In addition, certain estimates are required in order to determine the value of assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, as well as the Company’s defined benefit pension obligations. Estimates are also required to evaluate the value and recoverability of existing long-lived and intangible assets, including goodwill. On an ongoing basis, the Comp any reviews its estimates based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents [Policy Text Block] | (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows, the Company c onsiders all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts due from banks. The Company maintains a portion of its cash in bank deposits, which a t times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant risk with respect to these accounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts [Policy Text Block] | (d) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, known troubled accounts, historical experience, factors that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and other currently available evidence.
Inventories [Policy Text Block] | (e) Inventories The Company values its inventories at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (first-in, first-out met hod) and/or manufacture the inventories or the net realizable value of the inventories. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision to write down excess and obsolete inventories to its estimated net realizab le value if less than cost, based primarily on historical inventory usage and estimated forecast of product demand.
Property, Plant and Equipment [Policy Text Block] | (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over th e estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Buildings |  |  | 40 |  | years
| Machinery and equipment | 3 | - | 10 |  | years
| Computer equipment and software | 3 | - | 7 |  | years
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 | - | 10 |  | years
| Automobiles | 3 | - | 6 |  | years
Property and equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.
Catalog Costs [Policy Text Block] | (g) Catalog Costs Significant costs of product catalog design, development and production are capitalized and amortized over the expected useful life of the catalog (usually one to three years).
Income Taxes [Policy Text Block] | (h) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and l iabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is more than 5 0% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition are reflected in the period in which the judgement occurs.
Foreign Currency Transaction [Policy Text Block] | (i) Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is generally their local currency. All assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates in effect at period-end. Income and expenses are translated at rates which approximate those in effect on the transaction dates. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded a s a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) in the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net (loss) income.
Earnings Per Share [Policy Text Block] | (j) Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earn ings per share, except that the denominator is increased for the assumed exercise of dilutive options and other potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method unless the effect is antidilutive. Since the Company is reporting discontinued o perations, it used income from continuing operations as the control number in determining whether those potential dilutive securities are dilutive or antidilutive.
Comprehensive Income Loss [Policy Text Block] | (k) Comprehensive (Loss) Income The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accountin g Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income”. FASB ASC 220 requires companies to report all changes in equity during a period, resulting from net (loss) income and transactions from non-owner sources, in a financial statement in the period in which they are recognized. The Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive (loss) income, which encompasses net (loss) income, foreign currency translation adjustments, gains and losses on derivatives, the underfunde d status of its pension plans, and pension minimum additional liability adjustments, net of tax, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
Revenue Recognition [Policy Text Block] | (l) Revenue Recognition Nature of contracts and customers The Company’s contracts are primarily of short duration and are mostly based on the receipt and fulfilment of purchase orders. The purchase orders are binding and include pricing and all other relevant terms and conditions. The Company’s customers are primarily research scientists a t pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, hospitals, government laboratories, including the United States National Institute of Health (NIH) and contract research organizations. The Company also has global and regional distribution partne rs, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers who incorporate its products into their products under their own brands. Performance obligations The Company’s performance obligations under its revenue contracts consist of its instruments, equipment, accessories, services, maintenance and extended warranties. Equipment also includes software that functions together with the tangible equipment to deliver its essential functionality. Contracts with customers may con tain multiple promises such as delivery of hardware, software, professional services or post-contract support services. These promises are accounted for as separate performance obligations if they are distinct. For contracts with customers that contain mu ltiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on estimated relative standalone selling price, which does not materially differ from the stated price in the contract. In general, the Company’s list prices are indicative of standalone selling price. Instruments, equipment and accessories consist of a range of products that are used in life sciences research. Revenues from the sales of these items are recognized when transfer of control of th ese products to the customer occurs. Transfer of control occurs when the Company has a right to payment, and the customer has legal title to the asset and the customer or their selected carrier has possession, which is typically upon shipment. Sales on the se items are therefore generally recognized at a point in time. The Company’s equipment revenue also includes the sale of wireless implantable monitors that are used for life science research purposes. The Company sells these wireless implantable monitors to pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations and academic laboratories. In addition to sales generated from new and existing customers, these implantable devices are also sold under a program called the “exchange program”. Under this progr am, customers may return an implantable monitor to the Company after use, and if the returned monitor can be reprocessed and resold, they may, in exchange, purchase a replacement implantable monitor of the same model at a lower price than a new monitor. Th e implantable monitors that are returned by customers are reprocessed and made available for future sale. The initial sale of implantable monitors and subsequent sale of replacement implantable monitors are independent transactions. The Company has no obli gation in connection with the initial sale to sell replacement implantable monitors at any future date under any fixed terms and may refuse returned implantable monitors that cannot be recovered or are obsolete. The Company has concluded that the offer to its customers that they may purchase a discounted product in the future is not a material right based on the applicable guidance within ASC 606. Service revenues consist of installation, training, data analysis, and surgeries performed on research animal s. Maintenance revenue consists of post-contract support provided in relation to software that is embedded within the equipment that is sold to the customer. The Company provides standard warranties that promise the customer that the product will work as p romised. These standard warranties are not a separate performance obligation. Extended warranties relate to warranties that are separately priced, and purchased in addition to a standard warranty, and are therefore a separate performance obligation. The Co mpany has made the judgment that the customer benefits as the Company performs over the period of the contract, and therefore revenues from service, maintenance and warranty contracts are recognized over time. The Company uses the input method to recognize revenue over time, based on time elapsed, which is generally on a straight-line basis over the service period. The period over which maintenance and warranty contracts is recognized is typically one year. The period over which service revenues is recogni zed is generally less than one month. For sales for which transfer of control occurs upon shipment, the Company accounts for shipping and handling costs as fulfilment costs. As such, the Company records the amounts billed to the customer for shipping cos ts as revenue and the costs within cost of revenues upon shipment. For sales, for which control transfers to customers after shipment, the Company has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods to the customer. The Company therefore accrues for the costs of shipping undelivered items in the period of shipment. Revenues expected to be recognized related to any and all remaining performance obligations are generally expected to be recognized in on e year or less, as the majority of the Company's contracts have a term of less than one year. Variable Consideration The nature of the Company's contracts gives rise to certain types of variable consideration, including in limited cases volume and payme nt discounts. The Company analyzes sales that could include variable consideration, and estimates the expected or most likely amount of revenue after returns, trade-ins, discounts, rebates, credits, and incentives. Product returns are estimated and accrued for, based on historical information. In making these estimates, the Company considers whether the amount of variable consideration is constrained and is included in revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration, and its impact on the Company’s revenue recognition, was not material in any of the periods presented. The Company’s payment terms are generally from zero to sixty days from the time of invoicing, which generally occurs at the time of shipment or prior to services being performed. Payment terms vary by the type of its customers and the products or services offered. Sales taxes, value added taxes, and certain excise taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis, and are therefore excluded from revenues. Deferred revenue The Company records deferred revenue when cash is collected from customers prior to satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation to the customer. Deferred revenue consists of amounts deferred related to service contracts and revenue deferred as a result of payments received in advance from customers. Deferred revenue is generally expected to be recognized within one year. The amounts included in deferred revenue from advanced payments relate to amounts that are prepaid for wireless implantable monitors under the exchange program. The Company has made the judgment that these payments do not represent a significant financing component as the customer can exercise their discretion as to when they can obtain the products that they have made a prepayment for. Advanced payments received fr om customers are recorded as a liability, and revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance o bligations are completed. Performance obligations are completed when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer, or at the end of the exchange prog ram if goods are not acquired prior to the termination of the contract period. Disaggregation of revenue Refer to Note 19 for r evenue disaggregated by type and by geographic region as well as further information about the deferred revenue balances.
Intangible Assets Finite Lived [Policy Text Block] | (m) Valuation of Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired in Business Combinations The determination of the fair value of intangible assets, which represents a significant portion of the purchase price in the Company’s acquisitions, requires the use of significant judgment with regard to (i) the fair value; and (ii) whether such intangibles are amortizable or not amortizable and, if the former, the period and the method by which the intangibles asset will be amortized. The Company estimates the fair valu e of acquisition-related intangible assets principally based on projections of cash flows that will arise from identifiable assets of acquired businesses. The projected cash flows are discounted to determine the present value of the assets at the dates of acquisitions. At December 31, 2018, amortizable intangible assets include existing technology, trade names, distribution agreements, in-process research and development, customer relationships and patents. These amortizable intangible assets are a mortized on a straight-line basis over 7 to 15 years, 10 to 15 years, 4 to 5 years, 5 to 15 years, 5 to 15 years and 5 to 15 years, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets [Policy Text Block] | (n) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and unamortizable intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, in accordance with t he provisions of FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”. For the purpose of its goodwill analysis, the Company has one reporting unit. The Company conducted its annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. The good will impairment test is a two-step process. The first step of the impairment analysis compares the Company’s fair value to its carrying value to determine if there is any indication of impairment. Step two of the analysis compares the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation for business combination. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. For indefinite-lived int angible assets if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset, the Company would write down the indefinite-lived intangible asset to fair value. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Company significantly exceeded the carrying v alue. The Company concluded that none of its goodwill was impaired. The Company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually and when events occur or circumstances change that may reduce the fair value of the asset below its carryi ng amount. Events or circumstances that might require an interim evaluation include unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors, unanticipated technological changes or competitive activities, loss of key personnel and acts by governments and courts. At December 31, 2018, the Company concluded that none of its indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired.
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets [Policy Text Block] | (o) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses recoverability of its long-lived assets that are held for use, such as property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets or an asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or the asset group. Cash flow pr ojections are based on trends of historical performance and management’s estimate of future performance. If the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which t he carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. At December 31, 2018, the Company concluded that none of its long-lived assets were impaired.
Derivatives [Policy Text Block] | (p) Derivatives The Company uses interest-rate-related derivative instruments to manage its exposure related to changes in interest rates on its variable-rate debt instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging. The Company does not speculate using derivat ive instruments. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated in hedging relationships, changes in the fair value are either offset throug h earnings against the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged or recognized in AOCI, to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in cash flows being hedged until the hedged item affects earning s. The Company only enters into derivative contracts that it intends to designate as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). For all hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and o n an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as part of a cash flow hedging re lationship, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and lo sses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the de rivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is de-designated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or ma nagement determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated i n other comprehensive income related to the hedging relationship.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Policy Text Block] | (q) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable and short-term debt approximat e their fair values because of the short maturities of those instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying value and is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with the debt discounted using current borro wing rates for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity. Financial reporting standards define a fair value hierarchy that consists of three levels:  Level 1 includes instruments for which quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the Company at the measurement date.  Level 2 includes instruments for which the valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that ar e observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  Level 3 includes valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Share-based Compensation [Policy Text Block] | (r) Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based payment awards in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, which requires it to recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock units with a market condition related to our Third Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option and Inc entive Plan (as amended, the “Third A&R Plan”) as well as employee stock purchases (“employee stock purchases”) related to its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended, the “ESPP”). The Company issues new shares upon stock option exercises, upon vesting of restricted stock units and restricted stock units with a market condition, and under the Company’s ESPP. Stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest an d has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The Company values stock-based payment awards, except restricted stock units at grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”). The Company values restricted stock units with a market condition using a Monte-Carlo valuation simulation. The determination of fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model or Monte-Carlo valuation simulation is affected by its stock price as well as assump tions regarding certain variables. These variables include, but are not limited to its expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected stock option exercise behaviors. The fair value of restricted stock units are based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and are recorded as compensation expense ratably over the applicable service period, which ranges from one to four years. Unvested restricted stock units are forfeited in the event of termina tion of employment with the Company. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under FASB ASC 718 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, the employee s tock purchase plan, and the restricted stock units and was recorded as a component of cost of product revenues, sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and discontinued operations. Refer to Note 14 for further details.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Disclosure [Text Block] | (s) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases, which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The update requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by lease terms of more than 12 months. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company expects to utilize a practical expedient in its method of adoption of the standard. Under this expedient, which is a “current-period adjustment method,” the Company would apply ASC 842 as of January 2019 and record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retai ned earnings as of that date. The Company has made substantial progress in its assessment over the impact of the standard and determined that the only material leases that it holds are building leases. Upon adoption of the standard, the Company preliminarily expects to record a right of use asset in the range of approximately $9 to $11 million and a lease liability in the range of approximately $10 to $12 million on its consolidated balance sheet. The finalization of the Company’s assessment may result in changes to the Company’s estimates that may impact its preliminary estimate of the cumulative effect. The Company’s future commitments under lease obligations are summarized in Note 13. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expect ed losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which provided additional implementation guidance on th e previously issued ASU. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company’s c onsolidated f inancial s tatements. Currently, the Company believes that the most notable impact of this ASU will relate to its proce sses around the assessment of the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable and the recognition of credit losses. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) which amends the hedge ac counting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Board’s objectives in issuing the ASU are to (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The ASU is eff ective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is evaluating the requirements of th is guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements fo r Defined Benefit Plans, which amends ASC 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new accounting standard that provides for a comprehensive model to use in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance within generall y accepted accounting principles in the United States. Under this standard, revenue will be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitle d in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, and applied the guidance to contracts that were not completed at the date of adoption. The Company’s significant revenue streams currently consist primarily of product revenue transactions, service, maintenance and extended warranty transactions on certain product sales. The timing of recognizing revenues for these revenue streams did not materially change. Addition ally, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s updated revenue recognition policy is described in Note 2 and disaggregated revenue disclosures required under ASC 2014-09 are presented in Note 19. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification accounting which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting unde r ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and the new standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows (t) Reclassifications As disclosed in Note 6, on January 22, 2018, the Company sold substantially all the assets of its operating subsidiary, Denville Scientific, Inc. (Denville). The sale of Denville represented a s trategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. As such and pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20 – Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the operating results of Denv ille for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 have been presented in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the assets and liabilities of Denville as of December 31, 2017 have been recast in the consolidat ed balance sheet and presented as held for sale. These reclassifications and adjustments had no effect on total amounts within the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of cash flows for any of the periods presented. .
