During the period the company made an additional impairement provision on the loans it made to FREUR Bristol Limited, a 100% subsidiary. The provision for the year amounted of £308,941 has been made for the year resulting in a total impairment provision to date of £1,236,900.
In respect of the above loans, no interest has been charged or accrued.
The loans were initially provided to each subsidiary to fund the purchase of commercial real estate. However due to the downturn in the commercial real estate market, although the related properties have now been sold, they were sold at a signifcant loss and therfore the recovery of the above loans in full will not be possible.
As such the directors have decided to impair each loan to their expected realisable value.
