    Explanation:

    The provision of an incentive to a employee with additional conditions means the conditions must be achieved before the incentive can be giving.

    In the above scenario since it's only probable that the conditions will be achieved though the expenses can be estimated, the company only needs to disclose this in it's financial report at the end of the year.
