Topic 842, as amended, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We currently plan to adopt the standard using the transition method provided by ASC Update No. 2018-11, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Leases</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> (Topic 842): </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Targeted Improvements</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Under this method, we plan to initially apply the new leasing rules on January 1, 2019, and recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings, rather than at the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We have reached conclusions on several policy elections available under Topic 842 that we plan to apply on January 1, 2019. Upon transition, we will apply the package of practical expedients and will not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the classification of any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for any existing leases. We will apply the transition package of practical expedients described above to our entire lease portfolio at January 1, 2019. Furthermore, we have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases. Instead, for these applicable classes of underlying assets, we will account for each separate lease component, and the non-lease components associated with that lease component, as a single lease component.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">While we are still in the process of determining the effect that the new standard will have on our financial position and results of operations, we expect to recognize additional assets and corresponding liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, as a result of our operating lease portfolio as it exists at the date we adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019. Please refer to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note F - Lease and Other Purchase Obligations</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our most current lease activity. Additionally, we are in the process of implementing a new lease administration and lease accounting system, and updating our controls and procedures for maintaining and accounting for our lease portfolio under the new standard.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">ASC Update No. 2016-13</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In June 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-13, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments – Credit Losses </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(Topic 326)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The purpose of Update No. 2016-13 is to replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. Update No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are in the process of determining the effect that the adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">ASC Update No. 2018-09</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In July 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-09, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Codification Improvements</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The purpose of Update No. 2018-09 is to clarify, correct errors in or make minor improvements to the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in Update No. 2018-09 do not require transition guidance and are effective upon issuance. However, many of the amendments in Update No. 2018-09 do have transition guidance with an effective date of annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

The purpose of Update No. 2018-15 is to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Update No. 2018-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods.
