      ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING 
   STANDARDS

The group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and IFRIC interpretations in issue as adopted by the EU effective as at 31 March 2006. Following the announcement by the SEC to allow an exemption from the provision of a second year of comparative financial statements, BT decided to take advantage of the exemption and hence the transition date for the adoption of IFRS is 1 April 2004. All comparative data in these statements has been restated accordingly with the exception that the group has taken the exemption allowed by IFRS 1 ‘First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards’ not to restate comparatives for IAS 32 and IAS 39. Further details can be found in note 34 to the group’s consolidated financial statements. The parent company financial statements of BT Group plc have been prepared in accordance with UK GAAP.
