There are no other customers who represent more than 9% of the total balance of trade receivables of the Group after impairment. Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high quality as most of these are guaranteed by reputable banks. The company’s largest trade debtor is a subsidiary and the amount is eliminated on consolidation. Trade receivables disclosed above include amounts (see below for aged analysis) that are past due at the end of the reporting period for which the Group has not recognised an allowance for impairment because there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. Trade receivables are considered to be past due when they exceed the credit period granted.
