Reserve for Contingencies
A company's retained earnings that are not reinvested but set aside to protect against future losses. A company may set up a reserve for contingencies when it is performing well to guard against the risk that it may eventually perform poorly. A reserve for contingencies allows a company to maintain its operations smoothly even when it has suffered an operating loss.
