NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD IMPLEMENTED |
NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD IMPLEMENTED In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases , as amended (“ASC 842”), which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. We adopted the provisions of ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard as of the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. As a result of the adoption, we recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of $8.9 million and operating lease liabilities of $8.9 million. The adoption had an immaterial impact on our net assets as of March 31, 2019. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.
