Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Vicor Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 31, 2019. The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2019 (“2018 Form 10-K”).

Recently Adopted Accounting Sta

Text Block [Abstract]
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard	2. Recently Adopted Accounting Standard In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance for lease accounting, which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new guidance establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019, using the effective date as the date of initial application. As a result, financial information has not been updated and the disclosures required under the new standard have not been provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits companies to not reassess under the new standard lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, the latter not being applicable. The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $4,329,000

Inventories

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventories	3. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Fixed production overhead is allocated to the inventory cost per unit based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Abnormal production costs, including fixed cost variances from normal production capacity, if any, are charged to cost of revenues in the period incurred. All shipping and handling costs incurred in connection with the sale of products are included in cost of revenues. The Company provides reserves for inventories estimated to be excess, obsolete or unmarketable. The Company’s estimation process for assessing net realizable value is based upon its known backlog, projected future demand, historical consumption and expected market conditions. If the Company’s estimated demand and/or market expectation were to change or if product sales were to decline, the Company’s estimation process may cause larger inventory reserves to be recorded, resulting in larger charges to cost of revenues. Inventories were as follows (in thousands): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Raw materials $ 37,205 $ 37,696 Work-in-process 6,386 4,740 Finished goods 7,998 4,934 Net balance $ 51,589 $ 47,370

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Long-Term Investments	4. Long-Term Investments As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held one auction rate security with a par value of $3,000,000, purchased through and held in custody by a broker-dealer affiliate of Bank of America, N.A., that has experienced failed auctions (the “Failed Auction Security”) since February 2008. The Failed Auction Security held by the Company is Aaa/AA+ rated by major credit rating agencies, is collateralized by student loans, and is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Management is not aware of any reason to believe the issuer of the Failed Auction Security is presently at risk of default. Through March 31, 2019, the Company has continued to receive interest payments on the Failed Auction Security in accordance with the terms of its indenture. Management believes the Company ultimately should be able to liquidate the Failed Auction Security without significant loss primarily due to the overall quality of the issue held and the collateral securing the substantial majority of the underlying obligation. However, current conditions in the auction rate securities market have led management to conclude the recovery period for the Failed Auction Security exceeds 12 months. As a result, the Company continued to classify the Failed Auction Security as long-term as of March 31, 2019. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities (in thousands): March 31, 2019 Cost Gross Gross Estimated Failed Auction Security $ 3,000 $ — $ 454 $ 2,546 December 31, 2018 Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Estimated Failed Auction Security $ 3,000 $ — $ 474 $ 2,526 As of March 31, 2019, the Failed Auction Security had been in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. The cost and estimated fair value of the Failed Auction Security on March 31, 2019, by contractual maturity, are shown below (in thousands): Cost Estimated Due in twenty to forty years $ 3,000 $ 2,546 Based on the fair value measurements described in Note 5, the fair value of the Failed Auction Security on March 31, 2019, with a par value of $3,000,000, was estimated by the Company to be approximately $2,546,000. The gross unrealized loss of $454,000 on the Failed Auction Security consists of two types of estimated loss: an aggregate credit loss of $40,000 and an aggregate temporary impairment of $414,000. In determining the amount of credit loss, the Company compared the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost basis of the security, considering credit default risk probabilities and changes in credit ratings as significant inputs, among other factors (See Note 5). The following table represents a rollforward of the activity related to the credit loss recognized in earnings on the Failed Auction Security for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands): 2019 2018 Balance at the beginning of the period $ 41 $ 48 Reductions in the amount related to credit gain for which other-than-temporary impairment was not previously recognized (1 ) (2 ) Balance at the end of the period $ 40 $ 46 At this time, the Company has no intent to sell the impaired Failed Auction Security and does not believe it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell this security. If current market conditions deteriorate further, the Company may be required to record additional unrealized losses. If the credit rating of the security deteriorates, the Company may be required to adjust the carrying value of the investment through impairment charges recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and any such impairment adjustments may be material. Based on the Company’s ability to access cash and cash equivalents and its expected operating cash flows, management does not anticipate the current lack of liquidity associated with the Failed Auction Security held will affect the Company’s ability to execute its current operating plan.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	5. Fair Value Measurements The Company accounts for certain financial assets at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-level hierarchy is used to show the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis included the following as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands): Using Quoted Prices in Active (Level 1) Significant Other (Level 2) Significant Unobservable (Level 3) Total Fair Value as of March 31, 2019 Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 9,484 $ — $ — $ 9,484 Long-term investments: Failed Auction Security — — 2,546 2,546 Liabilities: Contingent consideration obligations — — (378 ) (378 ) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis included the following as of December 31, 2018 (in thousands): Using Quoted Prices in Active (Level 1) Significant Other (Level 2) Significant Unobservable (Level 3) Total Fair Value as of December 31, 2018 Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 9,433 $ — $ — $ 9,433 Long-term investments: Failed Auction Security — — 2,526 2,526 Liabilities: Contingent consideration obligations — — (408 ) (408 ) As of March 31, 2019, there was insufficient observable auction rate security market information available to determine the fair value of the Failed Auction Security using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. As such, the Company’s investment in the Failed Auction Security was deemed to require valuation using Level 3 inputs. Management, after consulting with advisors, valued the Failed Auction Security using analyses and pricing models similar to those used by market participants (i.e., buyers, sellers, and the broker-dealers responsible for execution of the Dutch auction pricing mechanism by which each issue’s interest rate was set). Management utilized a probability weighted discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the estimated fair value of this security as of March 31, 2019. The major assumptions used in preparing the DCF model were similar to those described in Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. Quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2019 is as follows (dollars in thousands): Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Weighted Average Failed Auction Security $ 2,546 Discounted cash flow Cumulative probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity 0.08 % Cumulative probability of principal return prior to maturity 94.01 % Cumulative probability of default 5.91 % Liquidity risk premium 5.00 % Recovery rate in default 40.00 % The change in the estimated fair value calculated for the investment valued on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 inputs (i.e., the Failed Auction Security) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was as follows (in thousands): Balance at the beginning of the period $ 2,526 Credit gain on available-for-sale securities included in Other income (expense), net 1 Gain included in Other comprehensive income 19 Balance at the end of the period $ 2,546 The Company has classified its contingent consideration obligations as Level 3 because the fair value for these liabilities was determined using unobservable inputs. The liabilities were based on estimated sales of legacy products over the period of royalty payments at the royalty rate, discounted using the Company’s estimated cost of capital. The change in the estimated fair value calculated for the liabilities valued on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 inputs (i.e., the Contingent consideration obligations) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was as follows (in thousands): Balance at the beginning of the period $ 408 Payments (30 ) Balance at the end of the period $ 378 There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Product Warranties	6. Product Warranties The Company generally offers a two-year warranty for all of its products, though it has extended the warranty period to three years for certain military grade products sold after January 1, 2017. The Company is party to a limited number of supply agreements with certain customers contractually committing the Company to warranty and indemnification requirements exceeding those to which the Company has been exposed in the past. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors influencing the Company’s warranty reserves include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty returns, and the cost per return. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of warranty reserves and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Warranty obligations are included in “Accrued expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Product warranty activity was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended 2019 2018 Balance at the beginning of the period $ 268 $ 290 Accruals for warranties for products sold in the period 29 123 Fulfillment of warranty obligations (66 ) (57 ) Revisions of estimated obligations — (10 ) Balance at the end of the period $ 231 $ 346

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	9. Leases All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The majority of the Company’s leases are for office and manufacturing space, along with several automobiles and certain equipment. Leases with initial terms of less than twelve months are not recorded on the balance sheet. Expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases have remaining terms of less than one year to just over six years. The majority of the Company’s leases do not have options to renew, although several have renewal terms to extend the lease for one five-year term, and one lease contains two five-year renewal options. None of the renewal options are included in determining the term of the lease, used for calculating the associated lease liabilities. None of the Company’s leases include variable payments, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. A number of the Company’s leases for office and manufacturing space include provision for common area maintenance (“CAM”). The Company accounts for CAM separately from lease payments, and therefore costs for CAM are not included in the determination of lease liabilities. The Company is a party to one arrangement as the lessor, for its former Westcor facility located in Sunnyvale, California, with a third party. The lessee under this lease has one option to renew the lease for a term of five years.

Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes The tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year, which includes estimated federal, state and foreign income taxes on the Company’s projected pre-tax income. The provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended 2019 2018 Provision for income taxes $ 426 $ 134 Effective income tax rate 9.0 % 3.3 % The effective tax rates were lower than the statutory tax rates for the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2018 due primarily to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. The provisions for income taxes in the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2018 also included estimated foreign income taxes and estimated state taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have net operating loss carryforwards. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $30,031,000 against all domestic net deferred tax assets, for which realization cannot be considered more likely than not at this time. Management assesses the need for the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and past financial performance. While recent positive operating results caused the Company to be in a cumulative income position as of March 31, 2019, it has been in such a position for only a limited number of quarters. In addition, some uncertainty in economic conditions that could potentially impact the Company has led management to conclude a full valuation allowance against all domestic net deferred tax assets is still warranted as of March 31, 2019. The valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets may require adjustment in the future based on changes in the mix of temporary differences, changes in tax laws, and operating performance. If the positive quarterly earnings continue, the Company may release all or a portion of the valuation in the near-term. If and when the Company determines the valuation allowance should be released (i.e., reduced), the adjustment would result in a tax benefit reported in that period’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, the effect of which would be an increase in reported net income.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	12. Commitments and Contingencies At March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $4,393,000 of capital expenditure commitments. The Company is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit originally filed on January 28, 2011 by SynQor, Inc. (“SynQor”) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Texas Action”). The complaint, as amended in September 2011, alleges that the Company’s products, including but not limited to, unregulated bus converters used in intermediate bus architecture power supply systems, infringe SynQor’s U.S. patent numbers 7,072,190, 7,272,021, 7,564,702, and 8,023,290 (“the ‘190 patent”, “the ‘021 patent”, “the ‘702 patent”, and “the ‘290 patent”, respectively). SynQor’s complaint sought an injunction against further infringement and an award of unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, interest, costs and attorney fees. The Company has denied that its products infringe any of the SynQor patents, asserted that the SynQor patents are invalid, and asserted that the ‘290 patent is unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by SynQor or its agents during the examination of the ‘290 patent at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The Company also asserted counterclaims seeking damages against SynQor for deceptive trade practices and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage arising from SynQor’s attempted enforcement of its patents against the Company. On May 23, 2016, after extensive discovery, the Texas Action was stayed by the court pending completion of certain inter partes reexamination proceedings at the USPTO (including any appeals from such proceedings to the Federal Circuit (as defined below)) concerning the SynQor patents, which are described below. On November 2, 2018, SynQor filed a motion to lift the stay of the Texas Action. On January 3, 2019, the magistrate judge issued an order denying the motion and reaffirming the Court’s original decision that the stay should remain at least until the conclusion of all pending inter partes reexaminations and related appeals. On January 17, 2019, SynQor filed objections to the magistrate judge’s order, and sought reconsideration of that order by the district court judge. The district court judge has not yet ruled on SynQor’s objections. In 2011, in response to the filing of the Texas Action, the Company initiated inter partes reexamination proceedings at the USPTO challenging the validity of certain claims of the SynQor patents asserted in the Texas Action, including all claims that were asserted against the Company by SynQor. The current status of these proceedings is as follows. Regarding the ‘190 patent, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”) issued a decision on March 13, 2015, determining that certain claims were invalid, remanding the matter to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the USPTO for further proceedings. On May 2, 2016, the PTAB issued a decision affirming the examiner’s original rejection of all but one of the remaining claims of the ‘190 patent, and identifying a new basis for rejecting the remaining claim (“claim 34”), which had been added by SynQor during the reexamination. SynQor then requested further examination of claim 34 by the examiner, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 41.77(b)(1). On June 22, 2017, the examiner issued a determination under 37 C.F.R. § 41.77(d), finding claim 34 was unpatentable. That decision was affirmed by the PTAB on February 20, 2019. SynQor subsequently appealed that decision to the Federal Circuit and that appeal is currently pending. On May 2, 2016, the PTAB also issued decisions finding all challenged claims of SynQor’s ‘021 patent invalid and upholding the validity of all challenged claims of SynQor’s ‘702 and ‘290 patents. On August 30, 2017, the Federal Circuit issued rulings with regard to those decisions. With respect to the ‘021 patent, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s determination that all of the challenged claims of the ‘021 patent were invalid. The Federal Circuit remanded the case to the PTAB for further consideration of the patentability of certain claims that had been added by amendment during the reexamination. On February 20, 2019, the PTAB issued a decision affirming the examiner’s rejections of all challenged claims. With respect to the ‘702 patent, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s determination that all of the challenged claims of the ‘702 patent were patentable. With respect to the ‘290 patent, the Federal Circuit vacated the PTAB’s decision upholding the patentability of the ‘290 patent claims, and remanded the case to the PTAB for further consideration. On February 20, 2019, the PTAB issued a decision reversing its prior affirmance of the examiner’s non-adoption of rejections with respect to the ‘290 patent, and entering rejections of all of the claims of the ‘290 patent. SynQor may now choose to reopen prosecution of this proceeding, or to appeal the PTAB’s decision to the Federal Circuit. On October 31, 2017, the Company filed a request with the USPTO for ex parte reexamination of the asserted claims of the ‘702 patent, based on different prior art references than had been at issue in the previous inter partes reexamination of the ‘702 patent. On December 6, 2017, the USPTO issued a decision initiating ex parte reexamination of the ‘702 patent after finding that the Company’s request had raised a substantial new question of patentability of the challenged claims. On March 21, 2018, the examiner issued a non-final office action finding all of the challenged claims of the ‘702 patent to be unpatentable. On May 14, 2018, SynQor filed a petition requesting the USPTO to vacate its prior decision granting the Company’s request for ex parte reexamination. No action has been taken on the petition to date. On September 12, 2018, the examiner issued a final office action finding all of the challenged claims of the ‘702 patent to be unpatentable. On October 26, 2018, SynQor filed a notice of appeal appealing the examiner’s final rejection to the PTAB. On December 3, 2018, the USPTO denied SynQor’s petition to vacate the decision initiating the ex parte reexamination. On January 25, 2019, SynQor appealed the Examiner’s final rejection to the PTAB. That appeal is pending. The Company continues to monitor the progress of this proceeding. On August 6, 2018, the Company filed a request with the USPTO for ex parte reexamination of the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent, based on different prior art references than had been at issue in the previous inter partes reexamination of the ‘190 patent. On September 11, 2018, SynQor filed a petition asking the USPTO to reject the Company’s request on the ground that it presented substantially the same prior art or arguments presented to the USPTO in the prior inter partes reexamination of the ‘190 patent. On December 3, 2018, the USPTO denied SynQor’s petition to reject the Company’s ex parte reexamination request. On December 4, 2018, the USPTO instituted ex parte reexamination of the ‘190 patent after finding that the Company’s request had raised a substantial new question affecting the patentability of the challenged claims. On March 15, 2019, the USPTO issued a non-final rejection of all of the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent. On January 23, 2018, the 20-year terms of the ‘190 patent, the ‘021 patent and the ‘702 patent expired. The 20-year term of the ‘290 patent expired on July 16, 2018. As a consequence of these expirations, the Company cannot be liable under any of the SynQor patents for allegedly infringing activities occurring after the patents’ respective expiration dates. In addition, any amended claims that may issue as a result of any of the still-pending reexamination proceedings will have no effective term and cannot be the basis for any liability by the Company. The Company continues to believe none of its products, including its unregulated bus converters, infringe any valid claim of the asserted SynQor patents, either alone or when used in an intermediate bus architecture implementation. The Company believes SynQor’s claims lack merit and, therefore, it continues to vigorously defend itself against SynQor’s patent infringement allegations. The Company does not believe a loss is probable for this matter. If a loss were to be incurred, however, the Company cannot estimate the amount of possible loss or range of possible loss at this time. In addition to the SynQor matter, the Company is involved in certain other litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. While the outcome of lawsuits and claims against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect any current litigation or claims will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	13. Segment Information In 2018, Picor Corporation, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into the Company, and its operations and personnel were reassigned. Although the legal structure of Picor Corporation has ceased to exist, the Company continues to report its operating segments as the Brick Business Unit, VI Chip, and Picor, reflecting its historical organizational segmentation and management’s operational oversight. The BBU segment designs, develops, manufactures, and markets the Company’s modular DC-DC converters and configurable products, and also includes the entities comprising Vicor Custom Power and the BBU operations of Vicor Japan Company, Ltd. (“VJCL”). The VI Chip segment includes VI Chip Corporation, which designs, develops, manufactures, and markets many of the Company’s advanced power component products. The VI Chip segment also includes the VI Chip business conducted through VJCL. The Picor segment, which consists of the operations of the former subsidiary, designs, develops, manufactures, and markets integrated circuits for use in a variety of power management and power system applications. The Picor segment develops integrated circuits for use in the Company’s BBU and VI Chip modules, to be sold as complements to the Company’s BBU and VI Chip products, or for sale to third parties for separate (i.e., stand-alone) applications. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (i.e., identified as the “chief operating decision maker”) (“CODM”), pursuant to U.S. GAAP, evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment revenues and segment operating income (loss). The operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general, and administrative and research and development expenses directly attributable to the segment. Certain of the Company’s indirect overhead costs, which include corporate selling, general, and administrative expenses, are allocated among the segments based upon an estimate of costs associated with each segment. Assets allocated to each segment are based upon specific identification of such assets, which include accounts receivable, inventories, fixed assets, and certain other assets. The Corporate segment consists of those operations and assets shared by all operating segments. The costs of certain centralized executive and administrative functions are recorded in this segment, as are certain shared assets, most notably cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, long-term investments, the Company’s facilities in Massachusetts, real estate, and other assets. The Company’s accounting policies and method of presentation for segments are consistent with that used throughout the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table provides significant segment financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands): BBU VI Chip Picor Corporate Eliminations Total 2019 Net revenues $ 47,673 $ 18,429 $ 3,272 $ — $ (3,649 ) $ 65,725 Income (loss) from operations 6,055 100 (1,310 ) (352 ) — 4,493 Total assets 287,891 50,975 15,614 84,259 (213,735 ) 225,004 Depreciation and amortization 885 1,011 193 356 — 2,445 Capital Expenditures 1,175 1,809 338 — — 3,322 2018 Net revenues $ 40,637 $ 20,881 $ 8,221 $ — $ (4,470 ) $ 65,269 Income (loss) from operations 1,039 1,081 2,022 (456 ) — 3,686 Total assets 239,619 40,206 12,662 58,095 (176,952 ) 173,630 Depreciation and amortization 912 811 191 355 — 2,269 Capital Expenditures 399 1,290 169 — — 1,858 (1) The elimination for net revenues is principally related to inter-segment sales by Picor to BBU and VI Chip and for inter-segment sales by VI Chip to BBU. The elimination for total assets is principally related to inter-segment accounts receivable due to BBU for the funding of VI Chip and Picor operations. Substantially all long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards	14. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements under Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements , including the consideration of costs and benefits . The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. It is required to be applied on a retrospective approach with certain elements being adopted prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. The Company has not yet determined the impact this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which will require measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. It is required to be applied on a modified-retrospective approach with certain elements being adopted prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after March 31, 2019 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard	2. Recently Adopted Accounting Standard In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance for lease accounting, which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new guidance establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019, using the effective date as the date of initial application. As a result, financial information has not been updated and the disclosures required under the new standard have not been provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits companies to not reassess under the new standard lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, the latter not being applicable. The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $4,329,000
