Note 21: Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Litigation is subject to uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Various
legal actions, claims and proceedings are pending against us arising in the ordinary course of business. We have established loss
provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some of the matters may involve
compensatory, punitive, or treble damage claims, or demands that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other
expenditures in amounts that could not be estimated at December 31, 2004. After discussion with counsel representing us in
those actions, it is the opinion of management that such litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated results of operations or financial position.
