Certain sales plans relating to customers’ use of Birks credit cards provide for revolving lines of credit and /or instalment plans under which the payment terms exceed one year. The receivables repayable within a timeframe exceeding one year included under such plans, amounted to approximately $1.3 million and $0.4 million at March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively, which are not included in customer trade receivables outlined above, and are included in long-term receivables on the Company’s balance sheet.
