the normal profit (net cash flow) that the asset would have generated if the damage had
not occurred

2. large direct losses can also lead to indirect losses if they threaten the viability of the
business and thereby reduce the willingness of customers and suppliers to deal with the
business or change terms (prices) at which they transact

3. if sales or production are reduced in response to direct losses, certain types of
normal operating expenses (continuing expenses) may not decline in proportion to the
reduction in revenues, thus increasing indirect losses

4. if a long interruption in production would cause many customers to switch suppliers,
or if a firm has binding contractual commitments to supply products, it may also be
desirable for the firm to increase operating costs above normal levels following direct
losses. The increased operating cost would create an indirect loss- FIX PG 3

lenders or from new equity issues following large direct loss.
