The individual value adjustments amounted to CHF 8 million (previous year: CHF 6 million). It is assumed that part of the underlying receivables will be paid. Receivables not due are mainly receivables arising from long-standing customer relationships. Based on experience, GF does not anticipate any significant defaults.
