LEASES

The Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) effective April 1, 2019 using the optional transition method in ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. Therefore, the reported results as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 reflect the application of Topic 842, while the reported results for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and as of March 31, 2019 were not adjusted and continue to be reported under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases, the accounting guidance in effect for the prior periods.

Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The lease term begins on the commencement date, which is the date the Company takes possession of the property and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The lease terms are used to determine lease classification as an operating or finance lease and is used to calculate straight-line lease expense for operating leases. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842 to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs.

Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets also include prepaid lease payments and exclude lease incentives received. As the Company’s leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date for its leases. The determination of the incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate using the Company’s current unsecured borrowing rate, adjusted for various factors such as collateralization and term to align with the terms of the lease. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Therefore, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; instead, lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has operating leases for facilities, vehicles, computers, and other office equipment with various expiration dates. The leases have remaining terms of 1 to 8 years. Certain leases contain renewal options for varying periods, which are at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company did not use hindsight when determining lease term, therefore, the Company carried forward the lease term as determined prior to the adoption of Topic 842. For new leases with renewal or termination options, such option periods will be included in the determination of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with the leased asset. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the lease liability to the extent they are variable in nature. These variable lease costs are recognized as a variable lease expense when incurred.
