Trade receivables are stated net of provisions for bad and doubtful debts and anticipated future sales returns of £284m (2005: £313m). The carrying amounts are stated at their fair value. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Group's large number of customers, who are internationally dispersed.
