Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the information herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Castlight and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of the relative selling prices for the Company’s products and services, certain assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s equity awards, annual bonus attainment and the capitalization and estimated useful life of internal-use software development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Stock-based Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.” The guidance will change how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and accordingly recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment charge of approximately $0.4 million to the beginning accumulated deficit for the impact of electing to account for forfeiture as it occurs. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact to the Statement of Operations or the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company is subject to full valuation allowance and thus has not utilized any excess tax benefits or realized any cash tax benefit related to stock compensation expense.

Goodwill

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-4, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” The standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, under which an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, instead requiring an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. At this point in time, the Company does not intend to adopt the standard early. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-1, “Business Combinations.” The standard clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. At this point in time, the Company does not intend to adopt the standard early. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-17, “Consolidation.” The standard addresses how companies evaluate whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by changing how the reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a VIE treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” The guidance will require lessees to put all leases on their balance sheets, whether operating or financing, while continuing to recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The guidance states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. At this point in time, the Company does not intend to adopt the standard early. The Company is evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.     

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, “Financial Instruments.” The guidance provides a new measurement alternative for equity investments that don’t have readily determinable fair values and don’t qualify for the net asset value practical expedient. Under this alternative, these investments can be measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment if the same issuer. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption at this point in time.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and has since updated the ASU. This ASU replaces existing revenue recognition standards with a comprehensive revenue measurement and recognition standard and expanded disclosure requirements. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2017. The Company has elected not to early adopt the new standard.

The new standard permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). The Company currently plans to adopt under the full retrospective method. However, a final decision regarding the adoption method has not been finalized at this time.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its accounting policies, processes, and controls, including system requirements and has assigned internal resources and has also engaged a third party service provider to assist in its assessment.

Based on its assessment to date, the Company currently believes a significant impact from the adoption of the new standard will be related to the Company’s costs to fulfill as well as its costs to obtain contracts with customers. For fulfillment costs, the new standard states that an entity shall recognize an asset from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract if certain criteria are met. The Company believes these criteria will be met and these costs will be recognized as an asset under the new standard.  The costs to fulfill a contract that are recognized as an asset are then amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. The Company currently expenses costs to fulfill a contract when they are incurred. Similar to fulfillment costs, for costs to obtain a contract (which are primarily sales commissions), the standard states that costs to obtain a contract shall be amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. The Company currently capitalizes certain sales commissions and amortizes those costs over the non-cancelable portion of its subscription contracts. Under the new standard, the amortization period for the Company’s costs to obtain a contract could be longer. Lastly, based on its assessment, the Company currently believes areas of impact related to the Company’s revenue recognition will be related to the estimation of variable consideration, the accounting for contract modifications, and the allocation of the transaction price to the Company’s multiple performance obligations.

While the Company continues to assess the potential impacts of the new standard, including the areas described above, and anticipates the standard could have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, the Company does not know or cannot reasonably estimate quantitative information related to the impact of the new standard on the Company’s financial statements at this time.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value of marketable securities included in the Level 2 category is based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These values were obtained from a third-party pricing service and were evaluated using pricing models that vary by asset class and may incorporate available trade, bid and other market information and price quotes from well-established third party pricing vendors and broker-dealers. There have been no changes in valuation techniques in the periods presented. The Company has no financial assets or liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 assets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the above input categories (in thousands):

Gross unrealized gains and losses for cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were not material. The Company does not believe the unrealized losses represent other-than-temporary impairments based on the Company’s evaluation of available evidence as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
There were no realized gains or losses during the three months ended March 31, 2017. All of the Company’s marketable securities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 mature within one year. Marketable securities on the balance sheets consist of securities with original or remaining maturities at the time of purchase of greater than three months, and the remainder of the securities is reflected in cash and cash equivalents.

Note 6. Related Party Transactions and Variable Interest Entity

Lyra Health    

In 2015, the Company made a preferred stock investment in Lyra Health (”Lyra”) of $4.1 million, associated with a strategic alliance with Lyra. Lyra is considered a related party to the Company because two of the Company’s directors, Dr. Roberts and Mr. Ebersman, serve on the Lyra board of directors and Mr. Ebersman is the Lyra chief executive officer. The Company has evaluated all its transactions with Lyra and has determined that Lyra is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for the Company but that it is not required to consolidate the operations of the VIE. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this unconsolidated VIE is limited to its investment of $4.1 million and it is not obligated to provide incremental financial support to Lyra.

The investment in Lyra is accounted for under the cost method and is included under other assets in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has not estimated the fair value of its investment because there have been no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. The Company assesses its investment for impairment on a quarterly basis or based on facts or circumstances that may require it to reassess the fair value of its investment. Based on the facts and circumstances as of March 31, 2017, the Company concluded that its investment was appropriately valued.

Jiff Acquisition

On April 3, 2017, the Company acquired Jiff, Inc. for approximately 27 million in shares and options. Bryan Roberts, Chairman of the board of directors of the Company prior to the completion of the merger, is a Partner at Venrock, which beneficially owns 16,825,301 shares of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately 16% of Castlight’s total issued and outstanding capital stock. Venrock also owns 8,040,910 shares of Jiff capital stock, or approximately 18% of the total issued and outstanding Jiff capital stock. Accordingly, this is a related party transaction.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may become subject to other legal proceedings, claims or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive letters alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in litigation, the impact could be material to the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations, depending on the specific circumstances of the outcome. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is both probable that it will incur the loss and when it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss.
    
Leases and Contractual Obligations

The Company’s principal commitments primarily consist of obligations under leases for office space and co-location facilities for data center capacity. The Company’s existing lease agreements provide it with the option to renew and generally provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. The Company’s future operating lease obligations would change if it entered into additional operating lease agreements as the Company expands its operations and if it exercised these options.

There were no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Please see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of its contractual obligations.

(1) Includes performance stock units (“PSUs”) that were granted in the three months ended March 31, 2017.
(2) Includes PSUs that were granted in the prior year, which were canceled because performance targets were not achieved.
As of March 31, 2017, there was a total of $41.1 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units and performance stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.73 years.

During 2017, the Company awarded PSUs to certain employees. The number of shares that will eventually vest depends on achievement of performance targets for 2017, as determined by the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors, and may range from 0 to 150% of the targeted award amount. Once the performance is determined and a targeted award amount is fixed, the target number of PSUs, if any, will vest in eight quarterly installments, subject to recipients' continued service, beginning on February 15, 2018. The compensation expense associated with the PSUs is recognized using the accelerated method. For the period ended March 31, 2017, the Company has recognized approximately $0.3 million related to all performance awards.

Stockholders' Equity (Notes)
Stockholders’ Equity
Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 54,288,009 shares of Class A common stock and 51,128,971 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.
Transactions with SAP Technologies, Inc.

In May 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with SAP Technologies, Inc. (“SAP”) pursuant to which it sold and issued to SAP approximately 4.7 million shares (“Shares”) of its Class B Common Stock and a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase up to approximately 1.9 million shares of its Class B Common Stock. The net proceeds from this transaction were $17.8 million and will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The exercise price of the Warrant remains at $4.91 per share and will expire four years from the date the Company enters into an agreement with SAP related to the distribution and the reselling of the Company’s solutions (the “Alliance Agreement”). The Alliance Agreement will be focused on a strategic, multi-pronged business relationship aimed at delivering integrated healthcare technologies that can help lower healthcare costs, improve outcomes and increase benefits satisfaction for customers.

The Shares and Warrant are considered freestanding instruments from each other and are classified within stockholders’ equity. The Company preliminarily allocated the net proceeds to the Shares and Warrant and also to a customer prepayment liability classified within accrued expenses and other current liabilities that represents the future benefits of the Alliance Agreement. Additional accounting for the Warrants and the customer prepayment liability is dependent on, if and when, the Alliance Agreement is executed.
In the second quarter of 2017, the Company and SAP modified the Warrant to extend the time period allowed to execute the Alliance Agreement from May 17, 2017 to November 17, 2017. If the Company does not enter into the Alliance Agreement with SAP by that time, then the Warrant will become void. The warrant is not exercisable until the Alliance Agreement is signed. The Company will update its preliminary allocation of the net proceeds in the second quarter as a result of this modification.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was zero percent, primarily as a result of the estimated tax loss for the year and the change in valuation allowance. At March 31, 2017, all unrecognized tax benefits are subject to a full valuation allowance and, if recognized, will not affect the effective tax rate.
Net Loss per Share
Net Loss per Share
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including Preferred Stock and outstanding stock options and warrants, to the extent dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.
Net loss is allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common stock as if the earnings for the year have been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the net loss is allocated on a proportionate basis.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the Company’s common stock (in thousands, except per share data):

Jiff Acquisition
    
On April 3, 2017, the Company acquired Jiff, Inc. for approximately 27 million in shares and options. Jiff is an enterprise health benefits platform provider that serves as a central hub for wellbeing and other benefit programs, with a single point of access for employees. The acquisition enables the Company to provide the full spectrum of wellbeing, healthcare decision support and benefits hub all in one complete package. The close date of this acquisition occurred subsequent to our fiscal quarter-end, therefore purchase price allocation to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed or consolidated pro forma financial information for this transaction has not yet been finalized. Although the Company has not completed the acquisition accounting for this transaction, it expects a substantial majority of the purchase price will be allocated to goodwill and intangible assets.

Term loan and Revolving Line of Credit

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Jiff, on April 3, 2017, the Company, Jiff and Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”) agreed to refinance the existing term loan facility owed by Jiff to the Bank (“The Loan Agreement”) for an approximately $5.6 million term loan (the “Term Loan”).

Also, the Loan Agreement provides for up to a $25 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line”). The Company may request borrowings under the Revolving Line prior to April 3, 2019, on which date the Revolving Line terminates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the information herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Castlight and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of the relative selling prices for the Company’s products and services, certain assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s equity awards, annual bonus attainment and the capitalization and estimated useful life of internal-use software development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Stock-based Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.” The guidance will change how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and accordingly recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment charge of approximately $0.4 million to the beginning accumulated deficit for the impact of electing to account for forfeiture as it occurs. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact to the Statement of Operations or the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company is subject to full valuation allowance and thus has not utilized any excess tax benefits or realized any cash tax benefit related to stock compensation expense.

Goodwill

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-4, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” The standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, under which an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, instead requiring an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. At this point in time, the Company does not intend to adopt the standard early. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-1, “Business Combinations.” The standard clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. At this point in time, the Company does not intend to adopt the standard early. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-17, “Consolidation.” The standard addresses how companies evaluate whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by changing how the reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a VIE treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” The guidance will require lessees to put all leases on their balance sheets, whether operating or financing, while continuing to recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The guidance states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. At this point in time, the Company does not intend to adopt the standard early. The Company is evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.     

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, “Financial Instruments.” The guidance provides a new measurement alternative for equity investments that don’t have readily determinable fair values and don’t qualify for the net asset value practical expedient. Under this alternative, these investments can be measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment if the same issuer. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption at this point in time.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and has since updated the ASU. This ASU replaces existing revenue recognition standards with a comprehensive revenue measurement and recognition standard and expanded disclosure requirements. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2017. The Company has elected not to early adopt the new standard.

The new standard permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). The Company currently plans to adopt under the full retrospective method. However, a final decision regarding the adoption method has not been finalized at this time.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its accounting policies, processes, and controls, including system requirements and has assigned internal resources and has also engaged a third party service provider to assist in its assessment.

Based on its assessment to date, the Company currently believes a significant impact from the adoption of the new standard will be related to the Company’s costs to fulfill as well as its costs to obtain contracts with customers. For fulfillment costs, the new standard states that an entity shall recognize an asset from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract if certain criteria are met. The Company believes these criteria will be met and these costs will be recognized as an asset under the new standard.  The costs to fulfill a contract that are recognized as an asset are then amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. The Company currently expenses costs to fulfill a contract when they are incurred. Similar to fulfillment costs, for costs to obtain a contract (which are primarily sales commissions), the standard states that costs to obtain a contract shall be amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. The Company currently capitalizes certain sales commissions and amortizes those costs over the non-cancelable portion of its subscription contracts. Under the new standard, the amortization period for the Company’s costs to obtain a contract could be longer. Lastly, based on its assessment, the Company currently believes areas of impact related to the Company’s revenue recognition will be related to the estimation of variable consideration, the accounting for contract modifications, and the allocation of the transaction price to the Company’s multiple performance obligations.

While the Company continues to assess the potential impacts of the new standard, including the areas described above, and anticipates the standard could have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, the Company does not know or cannot reasonably estimate quantitative information related to the impact of the new standard on the Company’s financial statements at this time.
