−Removed: Leases (Topic 842) (ASC 842), and ASU 2018-10:
−Removed: Codification Improvements to ASC 842, Leases.
−Removed: These ASUs require that a lessee recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s leasing arrangements.
−Removed: The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2019, under the modified retrospective transition approach with the cumulative effect of application recognized at the effective date, without adjustment to prior comparative periods.
−Removed: The Company elected to utilize the transition package of practical expedients that allows the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are leases, or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases.
−Removed: Further, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all leases and account for the combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
−Removed: The Company also made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of $ 12.2 million of lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets of $ 12.3 million as of July 1, 2019.
−Removed: As required, the right-of-use assets include the effect of reclassifying certain balances including deferred and prepaid rent, a portion of facilities-related restructuring accrual reserves, and a favorable lease intangible asset previously recognized in connection with an acquisition.
−Removed: The Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of the adoption of the new standard.

Credit Losses
−Removed: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326):
−Removed: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
−Removed: This ASU introduces a new accounting model known as Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”).
−Removed: CECL requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk.
−Removed: The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired.
−Removed: The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses.
−Removed: This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized.
−Removed: The new standard will also apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivables.
−Removed: There are other provisions within the standard affecting how impairments of other financial assets may be recorded and presented, as well as expanded disclosures.

+Added: This standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S.
+Added: GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses.
+Added: The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective transition method on June 29, 2020, the first day of the Company's 2021 fiscal year.
+Added: Upon adoption, prior period balances were not adjusted and the Company determined no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of June 29, 2020 was required.
+Added: Under this new standard, expected credit losses for the Company's receivables are evaluated on a collective (pool) basis and aggregated on the basis of similar risk characteristics.
+Added: These aggregated risk pools are reassessed at each measurement date.
+Added: A combination of factors is considered in determining the appropriate estimate of expected credit losses, including broad-based economic indicators as well as customers' financial strength, credit standing, payment history and any historical defaults.
+Added: Available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at each measurement date are individually evaluated for expected credit losses.
+Added: The Company evaluates whether the unrealized loss is due to market factors or changes in the investment holdings' credit rating.
+Added: An expected credit loss will be recorded when an investment in an unrealized loss position is determined to have lost value from a decreased credit rating and the Company does not expect to recover the fair value of the security.
+Added: Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
+Added: Convertible Debt Instruments
+Added: In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).
+Added: This standard simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and the beneficial conversion accounting models.
+Added: This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity.
+Added: The update requires an entity to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation.
+Added: An entity may use either a modified or full retrospective approach for adoption.
+Added: The Company expects to adopt this standard by June 27, 2022 and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
