Trade and other receivables decreased by €9.4 million to €18.6 million as at 31 December 2018 compared to €28.0 million as at 31 December 2017. This was mainly due to two milestones achieved before year end 2017 in our CF collaboration with AbbVie which were accounted for $20 million (€ 17.0 million): respectively $10 million (€8.6 million) for the Phase 1 trial initiation with GLPG3221 and $10 million (€8.4 million) for the Phase 1 trial initiation with GLPG2851.
We consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value.
The other current assets mainly included accrued income from subsidy projects and deferred charges.
On 31 December 2018, we did not have any provision for expected credit losses.
