Litigation and Contingencies

The Company is subject to litigation and contingencies in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, the Company, in consultation with its counsel, assesses the need to record a liability for contingencies on a case-by-case basis in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies”. Accruals are recorded when the Company determines that a loss related to a matter is both probable and reasonably estimable, based on existing information. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment efforts progress or as additional information becomes available. In addition to case-by-case contingencies, the Company self-insures for certain liabilities not covered under its litigation insurance based on an estimate of potential claims. The Company develops such estimates in conjunction with its insurance providers and outside counsel.
