15. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that probablyrequires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Adisclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may,but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a presentobligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure ismade.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is nolonger probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessedcontinually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and relatedincome are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
Loss contingencies arising from claims, litigation, assessment, fines, penalties, etc. are recorded when it isprobable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
