Counsel believes it is reasonably possible that the outcome of the suit will be unfavorable and that the settlement would cost the company from $250,000 to $500,000. 2. A suit for breach of contract seeking damages of $2,400,000 was filed by an author against Greer Co. on October 4, 2020. Greer's legal counsel believes that an unfavorable outcome is probable.

Quinn is involved in a pending court case. Quinn's lawyers believe it is probable that Quinn will be awarded $1,000,000.
