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 />
