Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts are assumed to be the fair values. Trade accounts receivables include the following overdue and non-impaired amounts:

Less than 30 days overdue | 11,713 | 6,967 |

Disclosure of netting error
In the course of clarifications to correct the error relating to the energy profiles (Note 1), it was found that the conditions for offsetting trade accounts receivables and payable (Note 22) have been fulfilled. As these conditions were already fulfilled last year, the error was corrected in last year's figures.
The offset receivables and payables total CHF 233 million (last year: CHF 141 million).
