The Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC Topic 842") effective January 1, 2019 using the modified-retrospective method, and thus, the prior comparative period continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients permitted which allows (i) an entity not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) an entity need not reassess any initial direct costs for any existing leases. At the time of adoption, the Company did not have any leases with terms of 12 months or less, which would have resulted in short-term lease payments being recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All of the Company's leases were previously classified as operating and are similarly classified as operating lease under the new standard.

On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use asset of $641,992, lease liability of $683,575 and eliminated deferred rent of $41,583. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact to prior year comparative periods and a result, a cumulative-effect adjustment was not required. The Company determined the lease liability using the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate of 8.0% to estimate the present value of the remaining monthly lease payments. With the Locality acquisition, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 effective May 21, 2019 for the Westminster, Canada office operating lease. With the Jibestream acquisition, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 effective August 15, 2019 for the Toronto, Canada office operating lease. With the India acquisition, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 for the Hyderabad, India office operating lease. With the Systat license agreement, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 effective July 1, 2020 for the Ratingen, Germany and Slough, United Kingdom office operating leases.

Maturity analysis under the lease agreement is as follows (in thousands):

Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of adoption of Topic 842.
