Provisions for doubtful and bad accounts receivable were calculated according to Group's provision calculation policy. The Group starts to calculate provisions for customers who delays payment terms more than 3 months. Additional provisions were calculated for debts were probability not to receive payment is high, although agreed payment term has not come yet. The Group has managed to regain some customer's debts who were substantially delayed thus decreasing calculated provisions, but 341 thousand EUR were written off as non- recoverable. The written off overdue debt sum decreases expenses for Bad receivables, but increases other expenses position.
