Amendment Description	This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the "Form 10-Q/A") is being filed to amend A. H. Belo Corporation's (the "Company") Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2019, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 (the "original Form 10-Q"). As previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed on November 20, 2019, the Company will also be filing an amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019. On March 18, 2020, the Company filed an Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the "Form 10-K/A") to amend the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2019, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The Form 10-K/A was filed in order to reflect the appropriate timing of the noncash impairment charge for goodwill and long-lived assets associated with the Company's Marketing Services reporting unit and the appropriate methodology for calculation of the valuation allowance within the tax provision for 2018. As a result, this Form 10-Q/A amends the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019. In connection with the restatement, the Company re-calculated the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate to calculate the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was appropriate, compared to the discrete year-to-date calculation of income tax expense or benefit used in prior interim periods and in the original Form 10-Q. The Consolidated Statement of Operations was restated to reflect additional income tax benefit primarily resulting from using an estimated annual effective tax rate, a reduction in other income, net for additional interest expense related to uncertain tax positions, and the reversal of amortization expense related to the Marketing Services long-lived assets impairment disclosed in the Form 10-K/A. The use of an estimated annual effective tax rate in determining the income tax benefit and a correction to the calculation of uncertain tax positions resulted in adjustments to deferred income taxes, net, other accrued expense, and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019. See the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2 – Restatement of Financial Statements, for additional information. In connection with the identification of these issues that led to the restatements described in this Form 10-Q/A, management of the Company re-evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. As a result, management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. See Part I, Item 4. Except for the items noted herein, no other changes have been made to the original Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q/A has not been updated for events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-Q and no attempt has been made in this Form 10-Q/A to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the original filing of the Form 10-Q, except as disclosed in Note 14 – Subsequent Events and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors. The following sections have been amended as a result of the restatement: • Part I, Item 1. Financial Information • Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations • Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures No other significant changes have been made to the original Form 10-Q except: • Conforming the cover page to the Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-Q, updated May 2019 • The updating throughout this report of references to Form 10-Q to Form 10-Q/A • The re-numbering throughout this report of references to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect the addition of Note 2 In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Form 10-Q/A includes certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer dated as of the date of this filing.

Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards  Description of Business. A. H. Belo Corporation and subsidiaries are referred to collectively herein as “A. H. Belo” or the “Company.” The Company, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is the leading local news and information publishing company in Texas with commercial printing, distribution and direct mail capabilities, as well as a presence in emerging media and digital marketing. While focusing on extending the Company’s media platforms, A. H. Belo delivers news and information in innovative ways to a broad range of audiences with diverse interests and lifestyles. The Company publishes The Dallas Morning News ( www.dallasnews.com ), Texas’ leading newspaper and winner of nine Pulitzer Prizes, and various niche publications targeting specific audiences.  Basis of Presentation. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they include adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary to present fairly the interim consolidated financial information as of and for the periods indicated. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. All dollar amounts presented herein, except share and per share amounts, are in thousands, unless the context indicates otherwise.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net operating revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.  Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.  In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) . This update requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of its leases. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will generally be based on the liability. For income statement purposes operating leases will result in straight-line expense and finance leases will result in expenses similar to current capital leases. The guidance also requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Since February 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard that did not change the core principle of ASU 2016-02. The new guidance will supersede virtually all existing lease guidance under GAAP and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach; see Note 5 – Leases .  New Accounting Pronouncements. The FASB issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance, which may be applicable to the Company but have not yet become effective.  In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 – Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This update modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifying the specific requirements of disclosures and adding disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this update and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.  In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): C ustomer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract . This update clarifies the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement, or hosting arrangement, that is a service contract. Costs for implementation activities incurred during the application development stage will be capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post implementation stages will be expensed as the activities are performed. The capitalized implementation costs will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this update and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Restatement of Financial Statements	Note 2: Restatement of Financial Statements  The Company restated its financial statement s to amend its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019, related to the corrections disclosed in the December 31, 2018 Form 10-K/A . In connection with the restatement, the Company re-calculated the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate to calculate the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was appropriate, compared to the discrete year-to-date calculation of income tax expense or benefit used in prior interim periods and in the original Form 10-Q. See Note 8 – Income Taxes . The Consolidated Statement of Operations was restated to reflect additional income tax benefit primarily resulting from using an estimated annual effective tax rate, a reduction in other income, net for additional interest expense related to uncertain tax positions, and the reversal of amortization expense related to the Marketing Services long-lived assets impairment disclosed in the Form 10-K/A. See Note 6 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets . The use of an estimated annual effective tax rate in determining the income tax benefit and a correction to the calculation of uncertain tax positions resulted in adjustments to deferred income taxes, net, other accrued expense, and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Note 3: Segment Reporting  The Company identified two reportable segments based on reporting structure and the go-to-market for the Company’s service and product offerings. The two reportable segments are Publishing and Marketing Services.  The Publishing segment includes the Company’s core print and digital operations associated with its newspapers, niche publications and related websites and apps. These operations generate revenue from sales of advertising within its newspaper and digital platforms, subscription and retail sales of its newspapers, commercial printing and distribution services, primarily related to national and regional newspapers, and preprint advertising. Businesses within the Publishing segment leverage its production facilities, subscriber and advertiser base, and digital news platforms to provide additional contribution margin. The Publishing segment’s operating results includes $5,205 and $6,748 of corporate expense at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company evaluates Publishing operations based on operating profit and cash flows from operating activities.  The Marketing Services segment includes the operations of DMV Digital Holdings Company (“DMV Holdings”) and digital advertising through Connect (programmatic advertising). The Company operates this integrated portfolio of assets within its Marketing Services segment as separate businesses that sell digital marketing and advertising through different channels, including programmatic advertising and content marketing within the social media environment.  Based on the organization of the Company’s structure and organizational chart, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, Robert W. Decherd. The CODM allocates resources and capital to the Publishing and Marketing Services segments at the segment level.  The tables below set forth summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company determined one of the Company’s business units, previously reported in the Publishing segment, is now providing services and products more closely aligned with the Marketing Services segment. Beginning January 1, 2019, this business unit will be reported in the Marketing Services segment. The 2018 financial information by segment was recast for comparative purposes.

Revenue

Revenue [Abstract]
Revenue	Note 4: Revenue  Revenue Recognition  Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. This occurs when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales tax collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.  Accounts receivable are reported net of a valuation reserve that represents an estimate of amounts considered uncollectible. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience and the Company’s knowledge of the customers’ ability to pay amounts due. Accounts are written-off after all collection efforts fail; generally, after one year has expired. Expense for such uncollectible amounts is included in other production, distribution and operating costs.  The table below sets forth revenue disaggregated by revenue source.     Three Months Ended March 31,  2019 2018  Advertising revenue $ 18,155 $ 19,917  Digital services 4,309 4,468  Other services 1,577 1,356  Advertising and marketing services 24,041 25,741  Circulation 17,273 17,747  Printing, distribution and other 5,275 5,965  Total Revenue $ 46,589 $ 49,453  Advertising and Marketing Services Revenue  Advertising revenue, included in the Publishing segment results, is generated by selling print and digital advertising products. Print advertising revenue represents sales of advertising space within the Company’s core and niche newspapers, as well as preprinted advertisements inserted into the Company’s core newspapers and niche publications or distributed to non-subscribers through the mail. Digital advertising is generated by selling banner and real estate classified advertising on The Dallas Morning News’ website dallasnews.com , online employment and obituary classified advertising on third-party websites sold under a print/digital bundle package and sales of online automotive classifieds on the cars.com platform.  Digital services and other services revenues are included in the Marketing Services segment results. Digital services revenue includes targeted and multi-channel (programmatic) advertising placed on third-party websites, content development, social media management, search optimization, and other consulting. Other services revenue is primarily generated from the sale of promotional merchandise.  Advertising and marketing services revenue is primarily recognized at a point in time when the ad or service is complete and delivered, based on the customers’ contract price. In addition, certain digital advertising revenue related to website access is recognized over time, based on the customers’ monthly rate.  For ads placed on certain third-party websites, the Company must evaluate whether it is acting as the principal, where revenue is reported on a gross basis, or acting as the agent, where revenue is reported on a net basis. Generally, the Company reports advertising revenue for ads placed on third-party websites on a net basis, meaning the amount recorded to revenue is the amount billed to the customer net of amounts paid to the publisher of the third-party website. The Company is acting as the agent because the publisher controls the advertising inventory.  Circulation  Circulation revenue, included in the Publishing segment results, is generated primarily by selling home delivery and digital subscriptions, as well as single copy sales to non-subscribers. Home delivery and single copy revenue is recognized at a point in time when the paper is delivered or purchased. Digital subscriptions are recognized over time, based on the customers’ monthly rate.  Printing, Distribution and Other  Printing, distribution and other revenue, included in the Publishing segment results, is primarily generated from printing and distribution of other newspapers, as well as production of preprinted advertisements for other newspapers. Printing, distribution and other revenue is recognized at a point in time when the product or service is delivered.  Remaining Performance Obligations  The Company has various Publishing advertising contracts and Marketing Services digital services contracts that range from 13 months to 36 months. The Company recognizes revenue on the advertising contracts over the term of the agreement at a point in time when the service or product is delivered. The Company recognizes revenue on the digital services contracts over time, based on the customers’ monthly rate. At March 31, 2019, the remaining performance obligation was $3,495 . The Company expects to recognize $1,293 over the remainder of 2019, $1,196 in 2020, $886 in 2021, and $120 in 2022.  Deferred Revenue  Deferred revenue is recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable. The short-term and long-term deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2019, was $14,525 , included in advance subscription payments, other accrued expense and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the balance increased $1,930 , primarily driven by cash payments received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, offset by $7,241 of revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2018.  Practical Expedients and Exemptions  The Company generally expenses sales commissions and circulation acquisition costs when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within employee compensation and benefits expense and other production, distribution and operating costs expense, respectively.  The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount invoiced for services performed.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Note 5: Leases  Adoption of ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842)  On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach applied to all leases with a remaining lease term greater than one year. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, are presented in accordance with the new guidance under ASU 2016-02, while prior period amounts are not restated. The adoption of the new lease guidance resulted in the Company recognizing operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of remaining minimum lease payments. For the discount rate assumption, the implicit rate was not readily determinable in the Company’s lease agreements. Therefore, the Company used an estimated secured incremental borrowing rate, based on the Company’s credit rating, adjusted for the weighted average term of each lease in determining the present value of lease payments. There was no impact to opening retained earnings.  The Company elected the practical expedients available under ASU 2016-02 and applied them consistently to all applicable leases. The Company did not apply ASU 2016-02 to any leases with a remaining term of 12 months or less. For these leases, no asset or liability was recorded and lease expense continues to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As allowed by the practical expedients, the Company does not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, does not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and does not reassess initial direct costs for existing leases. Additionally, the Company does not separately identify lease and nonlease components, such as maintenance costs.  Lease Accounting  The Company has various operating leases primarily for office space and other distribution centers, some of which include escalating lease payments and options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. The exercise of lease renewal options are at the Company’s sole discretion and options are recognized when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The Company’s leases have remaining terms of less than one year to 15 years. The Company does not have lease agreements with residual value guarantees, sale leaseback terms or material restrictive covenants.  The Company has a sublease with Denton Publishing Company for a remaining term of approximately four years. Additionally, the Company has various subleases with distributors, for distribution center space, with varying remaining lease terms of less than one year to two years and are cancellable with notice by either party. As of March 31, 2019, sublease income is expected to approximate $390 for the remainder of 2019, $341 in 2020, $232 in 2021, $221 in 2022, and $129 in 2023.  Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of lease agreements greater than one year based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. As of March 31, 2019, the Company does no t have any significant additional operating leases that have not yet commenced.  The table below sets forth supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet information for the Company’s leases.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 8: Income Taxes  The Company historically determined the quarterly income tax provision using a discrete year-to-date calculation due to volatility in the newspaper industry and the resulting inability to reliably forecast income or loss before income taxes. In connection with the restatement, the Company re-calculated the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 using an estimated annual effective tax rate based on its annual income before income taxes, adjusted for permanent differences, which it applied to the year-to-date loss before income taxes. Although volatility still exists in the newspaper industry, the Company is appropriately using an estimated annual effective tax rate to calculate its quarterly income tax provision, given the Company’s ability to reliably forecast for the current annual period.  The Company recognized income tax benefit of $964 and $1,315 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Effective income tax rates were 31.1 percent and 24.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was due to additional losses generated from operations and an increase in the deferred tax asset, offset by the effect of the Texas margin tax.

Pension and Other Retirement Plans [Abstract]
Pension and Other Retirement Plans	Note 9: Pension and Other Retirement Plans  Defined Benefit Plans. The Company sponsors the A. H. Belo Pension Plans (the “Pension Plans”), which provide benefits to approximately 1,400 current and former employees of the Company. A. H. Belo Pension Plan I provides benefits to certain current and former employees primarily employed with The Dallas Morning News or the A. H. Belo corporate offices. A. H. Belo Pension Plan II provides benefits to certain former employees of The Providence Journal Company. This obligation was retained by the Company upon the sale of the newspaper operations of The Providence Journal . No additional benefits are accruing under the A. H. Belo Pension Plans, as future benefits were frozen.  No contributions are required to the A. H. Belo Pension Plans in 2019 under the applicable tax and labor laws governing pension plan funding. Net Periodic Pension Benefit  The Company’s estimates of net periodic pension expense or benefit are based on the expected return on plan assets, interest on the projected benefit obligations and the amortization of actuarial gains and losses that are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The table below sets forth components of net periodic pension benefit, which are included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Employees can contribute up to 100 percent of their annual eligible compensation less required withholdings and deductions up to statutory limits. The Company provides an ongoing dollar-for-dollar match of eligible employee contributions, up to 1.5 percent of the employees’ compensation. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recorded expense of $213 and $243 , respectively, for matching contributions to the Savings Plan.

Contingencies [Abstract]
Contingencies	Note 12: Contingencies  Legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits and other disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. Management routinely assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as the ranges of probable losses to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. Accruals for contingencies are recorded when, in the judgment of management, adverse judgments or outcomes are probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonably estimable. The determination of likely outcomes of litigation matters relates to factors that include, but are not limited to, past experience and other evidence, interpretation of relevant laws or regulations and the specifics and status of each matter. Predicting the outcome of claims and litigation and estimating related costs and financial exposure involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from estimates and accruals. In the opinion of management, liabilities, if any, arising from other currently existing claims against the Company would not have a material adverse effect on A. H. Belo’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

To the extent any events and conditions exist, disclosures are made regarding the nature of events and the estimated financial effects for those events and conditions. The Company re-evaluated subsequent events in connection with the restatement and reissuance of these financial statements for events which arose since the previously issued consolidated financial statements were issued through the date these consolidated financial statements were reissued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements other than those listed below.  On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Cubic, Inc. for a cash purchase price of $2,356 , net of $213 cash ac quired . The new entity Cubic Creative, Inc. is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has 25 employees. This acquisition adds creative strategy services, which will be complementary to service offerings currently available to A. H. Belo clients. The acquired operations will be included in the Marketing Services segment. Operating results of the business acquired will be included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the acquisition date forward. The Company does not expect the acquisition to be material to its financial position or results of operations.  On May 17, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the real estate assets in downtown Dallas, Texas, previously used as the Company’s headquarters for a sale price of $28,000 . The sale price consisted of $4,597 cash received, after selling costs of approximately $1,000 , and a two -year seller-financed promissory note of $22,400 . The sale provides the Company an additional $1,000 contingency payment if certain conditions are met, however at this time the Company does not believe these conditions are probable. These assets had a carrying value of $1,089 , and were reported as assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.  Beginning in January 2020, there has been an outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19” or “virus”), which has been declared a “pandemic” by the World Health Organization. The full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and rapidly evolving. The outbreak and any preventative or protective actions that the Company or its customers may take in respect of this virus may result in a period of disruption, including the Company’s financial reporting capabilities, its operations generally and could potentially impact the Company’s customers, distribution partners, advertisers, production facilities, and third parties. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time , but may materially affect the business and the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others.

Description of Business, Policy	Description of Business. A. H. Belo Corporation and subsidiaries are referred to collectively herein as “A. H. Belo” or the “Company.” The Company, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is the leading local news and information publishing company in Texas with commercial printing, distribution and direct mail capabilities, as well as a presence in emerging media and digital marketing. While focusing on extending the Company’s media platforms, A. H. Belo delivers news and information in innovative ways to a broad range of audiences with diverse interests and lifestyles. The Company publishes The Dallas Morning News ( www.dallasnews.com ), Texas’ leading newspaper and winner of nine Pulitzer Prizes, and various niche publications targeting specific audiences.
Basis of Presentation, Policy	Basis of Presentation. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they include adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary to present fairly the interim consolidated financial information as of and for the periods indicated. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. All dollar amounts presented herein, except share and per share amounts, are in thousands, unless the context indicates otherwise.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net operating revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, policy	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.  In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) . This update requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of its leases. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will generally be based on the liability. For income statement purposes operating leases will result in straight-line expense and finance leases will result in expenses similar to current capital leases. The guidance also requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Since February 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard that did not change the core principle of ASU 2016-02. The new guidance will supersede virtually all existing lease guidance under GAAP and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach; see Note 5 – Leases . 
New Accounting Pronouncements, policy	New Accounting Pronouncements. The FASB issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance, which may be applicable to the Company but have not yet become effective.  In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 – Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This update modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifying the specific requirements of disclosures and adding disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this update and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.  In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): C ustomer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract . This update clarifies the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement, or hosting arrangement, that is a service contract. Costs for implementation activities incurred during the application development stage will be capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post implementation stages will be expensed as the activities are performed. The capitalized implementation costs will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this update and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
