Contingencies

5.   Contingencies

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company maintains cash collateralized standby letters of credit (“LOC”), for the benefit of certain insurance companies, with a bank totaling $3.0 million at March 1, 2014.  The cash collateralizing the LOCs is included in the line item “Other long-lived assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. None of the LOCs are recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Legal Contingencies

 

The Company is a defendant in certain legal actions, and intends to vigorously defend its position in these actions.  If the Company’s assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements.    If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be reasonably estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss would be disclosed, or a statement would be made that such an estimate cannot be made.

 

These legal actions are discussed in detail at Part II, Item 1, of this report.
