The allowance for impairment represents the Company’s estimate of losses in respect of trade debtors. The allowance is built on specific expected loss components that relate to individual exposures. The creation and release for impaired trade debtors have been included in gross margin in the income statement. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovery. The other classes within the trade and other receivables do not contain allowances for impairment.
The ageing of the nominal amounts of the trade debtors are:

Not past due are those receivables for which either the contractual or ‘normal’ payment date has not yet elapsed. Past due are those amounts for which either the contractual or the ‘normal’ payment date has passed. Amounts that are past due but not impaired relate to a number of Company Joint ventures and independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default or the receivable amount can be offset by amounts included in current liabilities.
The trade debtors aged more than one year mostly relate to one contract for which some legal documents pending signature temporarily prevent the joint venture to settle the Company’s receivable.
