The strange day was caused by this and unless I’m thick doesn’t explain or tally with IC cause they allude to a big problem pre- Covid
Hence the complete balls up comms wise. On purpose or ?
Please feel free to elaborate
The Group has recorded an exceptional Item of £13.1m being substantially the write down of Amounts Recoverable On Contract ("AROC") brought about by the uncertainty of COVID-19. As set out last year, the Group had planned to reduce the significant debtor balance regarding AROC and the Group's management had undertaken several visits to China to effect this. That process looked very promising during the period up to January 2020, but the onset of COVID-19 in China, and subsequently the rest of the world, resulting in the financial status of the Group's customers becoming uncertain. Consequently, the Board has prudently chosen to take a full provision against the AROC balance.
