In February, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance amending the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new leasing standard using the prospective transaction method. See Note 7- Commitments and Contingencies for further details.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of April 1, 2019. The Company did not apply the new standard to comparative periods and therefore, those amounts are not presented below.
The Company elected the package of three practical expedients. As such, the Company did not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease and did not need to reassess the lease classifications or reassess the initial direct costs associated with expired or existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The land easement practical expedient was not applicable to the Company. Also, the Company has elected to take the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company made an accounting policy election to continue not to recognize leases with durations of twelve months or less on the balance sheet. The Company did not enter into any new leases during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
The Company leases office space under operating leases. The Company’s portfolio of leases is primarily related to real estate and since most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at either the implementation date of Topic 842 or at lease commencement for leases entered into thereafter.
