YES Contingent Liabilities (Which may or may not happen) needs to be explained in foot notes and all the accruals of liabilities needs to be given effect in Financial Statements. As per Accounting Standards all estimated liabilities and expenditures needs to be taken into accounting except for income.

In mercantile system of accounting you have to book income and expenses year in which actually accrued.
