Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Based on the new standard, lessees recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements with terms longer than 12 months. The adoption required recording right-of-use assets and corresponding lease obligation liabilities for the operating leases. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. See Note 16.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Additionally, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, in April 2019 and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Targeted Transition Relief, in May 2019. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments address cash flow issues such as debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs and zero-coupon debt instruments. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments are to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impractical to retrospectively apply, it can be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15 on January 1, 2019 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments affect any entity required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments were effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 and expanded its disclosures for significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. See Note 6.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The standard expands the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees, and supersedes ASC Topic 505-50, Equity – Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.  The amendments simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying other areas of existing guidance. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a staff question-and-answer (“Q&A”) document to respond to frequently asked questions about the accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under current GAAP, subsequent changes to lease payments that are not stipulated in the original lease contract are generally accounted for as lease modifications under Topic 842. The Q&A allows companies to make an accounting policy election to not evaluate lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as lease modifications. Entities that make this election then need to decide whether to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 to the concession or account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. The Company has not entered into any lease modifications that provide concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore has not evaluated its option to make this accounting policy election.
