New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies, that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases: Topic 842,” and followed it up with ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842: Targeted Improvements” (collectively “Topic 842”), which provided updated guidance on lease accounting. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that annual period, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. When adopted, the Company’s operating lease for office space will be presented as a right-of-use asset and as an offsetting liability for the present value of the contractual cash flows. The Company does not currently have any other material lease obligations. |
