financial statements as per PAS 37, on Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent
Assets.
Case 1
On December 5, 2020, an employee filed a P3,000,000 lawsuit against Lance Company for
damages suffered when one of the company’s equipment malfunctioned in August, 2020. In
your inquiry of the company’s legal counsel, the legal counsel expects the company will lose the
lawsuit and estimates the losses to be between P500,000 and P1,500,000. The employee has
offered to settle the lawsuit out of court for P1,200,000, but Lance Company will not agree to the
settlement.
Case 2
Lance Company has guaranteed a loan of P2,000,000 of one of its key officers from a bank in
2020. By the time the financial statements of Lance Company were approved for issuance by its
BOD, it is clear that the key officer is in financial difficulties and it is probable that Lance
Company will meet the guarantee.
Case 3
On December 20, 2020, an explosion occurred at Lance Company’s plant causing extensive
property damages to adjacent areas. Although no claims had yet been asserted against Lance
Company by April 15, 2021, Lance Company’s management and legal counsel believes that it is
probable that the company will be liable for damages, and that P2.5M would be reasonable
estimate of its liability. The legal counsel further opines that the total liability may possibly be up
to P5M given the extent of damages to the neighboring areas. Lance Company’s P10M
comprehensive public liability policy has a P1M deductible clause.
Case 4
On January 12, 2021, a fire at the production area of Lance Company damaged a number of
adjacent buildings. Lance Company’s insurance policy does not cover damages to property of
others. The adjacent neighbors have filed a P2M damages suit against the company and the
legal counsel opines that it is probable that such damages will be awarded to them.
