Closet_Storage_Concepts Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016‐02 using the modified retrospective approach, which permits application of this new guidance at the beginning of the period of adoption, with single year presentation. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASU 2016‐02, which among other things, permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard the Company's prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Accordingly, the adoption of the new standards had no impact on previously reported income, expenses and equity. As part of this adoption, the Company elected not to record operating right‐of‐use assets or operating lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
Payments on those leases will be recognized on a straight‐line basis through the Company's financial statements of operations over the lease term. The Company also elected not to combine lease and non‐lease components on all new or modified operating leases into a single lease component for all classes of assets. See Note 8.
