3.10 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
a) Provision
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of pastevents, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle theobligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions required to settleare reviewed regularly and are adjusted where necessary to reflect the current best estimatesof the obligation. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value ofmoney is material.
b) Contingent Liabilities:
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existencewill be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain futureevents beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognizedbecause it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle theobligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liabilitythat cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does notrecognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
c) Contingent Assets:
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence willbe confirmed only by- the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain futureevents not wholly within the control of the entity. The Company does not recognize thecontingent asset in its financial statements since this may result in the recognition of incomethat may never be realized. Where an inflow of economic benefits is probable, the Companydisclose a brief description of the nature of contingent assets at the end of the reportingperiod. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset isnot a contingent asset and the Company recognize such assets. Provisions, contingentliabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
