Material effect on the company financial position


Task: The following appeared in Centel Corporation's annual report:

"In December, an investor in the Argo group Inc (TAGI) filed suit against a subsidiary of the company for damages from alleged breach of fiduciary duty and negligence related to the bankruptcy of a subsidiary of TAGI. The company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this action but believes it will not have a material effect on the company's financial position."

Is this a liability? How should it be reported? Why?
