Question 4
Part A
In relation to a failed acquisition, a firm of accountants has invoiced Gear for the sum of
RM300,000. Gear has paid RM 20,000 in full settlement of the debt and states that this was a
reasonable sum for the advice given and is not prepared to pay any further sum. The
accountants are pressing for payment of the full amount, but on the advice of its solicitors,
Gear is not going to settle the balance outstanding . Additionally, Gear is involved in a court
case concerning the plagiarism of software. Another games company has accused Gear of
copying their games software and currently legal opinion seems to indicate that Gear will lose
the case. Management estimates that the most likely outcome will be a payment of costs and
royalties to the third party of RM 1 million in two years’ time. The best case scenario is
deemed to be a payment of RM 500,000 in one year’s time and the worst case scenario that of
a payment of RM 2 million in three years’ time. These scenarios are based on the amount of
the royalty payment and the potential duration and costs of the court case. Management has
estimated that the relative likelihood of the above payments are: best case – 30% change;
most likely outcome – 60% chance; and worst case – 10% chance of occurrence. The
directors are unsure as to whether any provision for the above amounts should be made in the
financial statements.
Required:
Write a report to the directors of Gear Software explaining the implications of the above
information. Beginning your answer by explaining when a provision should be made as per
MFRS 137 “Provision, contingent liabilities and contingent assets”.
