−Removed: based on a contractual formula which does not permanently transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer.
−Removed: Because the sale

+Added: (16) Contingencies
+Added: Because litigation is inherently
+Added: unpredictable, assessing contingencies related to litigation is a complex process involving highly subjective judgment about potential
+Added: outcomes of future events.
+Added: When evaluating litigation contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to
+Added: a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the availability of appellate remedies, insurance coverage
+Added: related to the claim or claims in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and the ongoing discovery and development
+Added: of information important to the matter.
+Added: In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated,
+Added: or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the Company’s potential liability or financial exposure.
+Added: Accordingly, the Company reviews the adequacy of accruals and disclosures each quarter in consultation with legal counsel, and it assesses
+Added: the probability and range of possible losses associated with contingencies for potential accrual in the condensed consolidated
+Added: financial statements.
+Added: However, the ultimate resolution of litigated claims may differ from the Company current estimates.
+Added: In the normal course of business,
+Added: there are various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies, certain of which are covered by insurance policies.
+Added: When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss.
+Added: We do not record liabilities for
+Added: reasonably possible loss contingencies but do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate
+Added: such a range.
+Added: If we cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the factors that prevent us from determining such
+Added: Historically, adjustments to our estimates have not been material.
+Added: While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these suits,
+Added: legal proceedings, and claims with certainty, management is of the opinion that adequate provision for potential losses associated with
+Added: these matters has been made in the financial statements and that the ultimate resolution of any one of these matters will not have a material
+Added: adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
+Added: A significant increase in the number of these claims,
+Added: or one or more successful claims resulting in greater liabilities than the Company currently anticipates, could materially and adversely
+Added: affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
