In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable<br />

from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer<br />

base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the Directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the<br />

allowance for doubtful debts.<br />

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables of the Group and Parent Company approximates to<br />

their fair value.<br />

Parent Company<br />

Amounts owed by Group undertakings are unsecured and are stated net of provisions for irrecoverable amounts of £4,248,000<br />

(2014: £2,560,000), of which £1,688,000 (2014: £nil) has been provided in the year and £nil (2014: £nil) has been recovered in the<br />

year.<br />

The Parent Company has no impaired trade receivables.<br />

Credit risk<br />

The Group’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, and trade and other receivables, which represent the Group’s<br />

maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.<br />

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the Statement of Financial<br />

Position are net of allowances for doubtful receivables, estimated by the Group’s management based on prior experience and its<br />

assessment of the current economic environment.<br />

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and<br />

customers.<br />

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international<br />

credit rating agencies.<br />
