Any other information about payment terms

Due to the seasonal variations inherent within our business sector and its effects on cash flow, payment of invoices outstanding have taken longer than anticipated at certain times of the year.
In addition, the company has also experienced difficult trading conditions over recent years and as a result has fallen behind with creditor repayments.
We are endeavouring to improve our current position with regard to payment of invoices, and bring our balances outstanding back in line with expectations.
