Classified
directory business in the UK
The company is providing the following information with
respect to its classified directory business in the UK
in accordance with undertakings made with the Office of
Fair Trading in 1996. For the year ended 31 March 2001,
the classified directory business of BT made an operating
profit of £216 million (2000 - £205 million) on turnover
of £502 million (2000 - £478 million) and, at 31 March
2001, it employed net assets of £178 million (2000 - £161
million). Since the classified directory business is integrated
with the company’s wider operations, this financial
information incorporates the effects of certain apportionments
and allocations of expenditures and assets. The figures
for the year ended 31 March 2000 have been restated.
BT is required to submit annual audited accounts in respect
of the classified directory business to the Director of
the Office of Fair Trading within nine months of the company’s
financial year end. Copies of these accounts, when available,
may be obtained free of charge from Yellow Pages at Queens
Walk, Reading RG1 7PT. |
