   The Group’s trade receivables are stated after allowances for doubtful receivables based on management’s assessment of creditworthiness, an analysis of which is as follows:

      Utilised  34     44    
   31 March  (1 103)    (828)   
   Trade receivables are carried at cost which normally approximates fair value due to short-term maturity. Generally no interest is charged on trade receivables.             
   Included within derivative financial assets:             
   At fair value through profit or loss, classified as held for trading:             
   Fair value hedges:             
      Foreign exchange forward contracts  62     100    
      Firm commitment asset – fair value hedge  11     24    
      73     124    

  The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is determined with reference to quoted market prices for similar instruments, being the mid forward rates as at the reporting date. During the prior year the Group designated certain forward exchange contracts as fair value hedges to hedge its exposure to variability in the fair value that is attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.
