(j) Contingent liabilities and provisions

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in
extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be
measured reliably.

a) possible obligation, the existence of which will be confirmed by the occurrence/non-occurrence of
one or more uncertain events, not fully with in the control of the Company;

b) present obligation, where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation;

c) present obligation, where a reliable estimate cannot be made.

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not
disclosed to their present value and are determined based on best estimates required to settle the
obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted
to reflect the current best estimates.
