Leases
 
On
January 1, 2019 (
the “Effective Date”), the Company adopted ASU
2016
-
02,
Leases (Topic
842
); ASU
2018
-
10,
Codification Improvements to Topic
842,
Leases; and ASU
2018
-
11,
Targeted Improvements (collectively, “Topic
842”
) using a modified retrospective transition approach, which requires Topic
842
to be applied to all leases existing at the date of initial application. Under Topic
842,
lessees are required to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) for all leases and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Additionally, leases will be classified as either financing or operating; the classification will determine the pattern of expense recognition and classification within the statement of operations. The Company has elected to apply its lease accounting policy only to leases with a term greater than
twelve
months.
 
The Effective Date is the Company’s date of initial application. Consequently, our financial information was
not
updated and the disclosures required under the new standard are
not
provided for dates and periods prior to
January 1, 2019.
 
Topic
842
provides several optional practical expedients that can be adopted at transition. We have elected the “package of practical expedients”, which does
not
require us to reassess our prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We did
not
elect the practical expedient of hindsight to the evaluation of lease options (e.g. renewal).
 
The most significant effects related to this adoption relate to (i) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our real estate and equipment operating leases; and (ii) significant new disclosures about our leasing activities. Upon adoption, we recognized approximately
$3.1
million in additional operating lease liabilities with corresponding ROU assets of approximately the same amount.
 
Topic
842
also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the “combining lease and non-lease components” practical expedient and also elected to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption to certain leases; therefore, we did
not
recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for these leases.
 
In adopting Topic
842,
we have determined and will continue to determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Our operating leases are primarily for office space, service facility centers and equipment under operating lease arrangements that expire at various dates over the next
ten
years. Our leases do
not
contain any restrictive covenants. Our office leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from
one
to
five
years. Because we are
not
reasonably certain to exercise these renewal options, the options are
not
considered in determining the lease term, and payments associated with the option years are excluded from lease payments. Our office leases do
not
contain any material residual value guarantees. Our equipment leases generally do
not
contain renewal options. We are
not
reasonably certain to exercise the renewal options for those equipment leases that do contain renewal options, thus, the options are
not
considered in determining the lease term and payments associated with the option years are excluded from lease payments.
 
For our equipment leases, we have used and will use the implicit rate in the lease as the discount rate, when available, otherwise, we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. For our office leases, the implicit rate is typically
not
available, so we have used and will use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Our lease agreements include both lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient that allows us to combine lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.
 
Payments due under our operating leases include fixed payments as well as variable payments. For our office leases, variable payments include amounts for the Company’s proportionate share of operating expenses, utilities, property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other facility-related expenses. For our equipment leases, variable payments
may
consist of sales taxes, property taxes and other fees.

The Company disclosed in our
2018
Annual Report on Form
10
-K maturities of lease liabilities as of
December 31, 2018,
in accordance with ASC
840.
During the quarter ended
March 31, 2019,
the Company determined that it improperly included certain lease commitments in the maturities table as of
December 31, 2018
in Note
10
of the
2018
Annual Report on Form
10
-K. The table overstated our lease maturities as follows (in thousands):
$121
in
2019,
$370
in
2020,
$381
in
2021,
$392
in
2022,
$404
in
2023
and
$2,528
in the thereafter period.
 
The Company assessed the materiality of this error, considering both the qualitative and quantitative factors and determined that for the year ended
December 31, 2018,
the error was immaterial. The Company has decided to correct this immaterial error as a revision to our previously issued financial statements by adjusting the maturities of the lease liabilities as of
December 31, 2018
for the overstated amounts as reflected in the table below (in thousands):
