22 August 2013 Present obligation means liability to be paid today due to your business action in past.
eg if you purchased good on credit on 31.3.2013 but did not paid then till you pay it, it will be your present obligation.

Possible obligation means in future you may have to pay for a certain liability due to your business action taken today..
