At the time the Board believed that the likely financial impact of the recallwould be significantly below the maximum potential liability, which wasestimated at approximately £2.7m. Whilst the product recall is not fullycomplete, particularly in overseas markets, the Board can now provide an updateand estimates that the total cost of the recall should be in the region of£0.5m. Notwithstanding this issue, the Specialist Yarns Division has continued toperform strongly and, therefore, the Board currently believes that the Groupcontinues to trade in line with its expectations.
