(i) The amounts shown are net of GBP10 million  (2002/2003  nine months ended 31
March:  GBP9 million)  receivable  from the disposal of  programming  rights not
acquired for use by the Group, and GBP21 million (2002/2003 nine months ended 31
March: GBP19 million) in respect of the provision to third party broadcasters of
spare transponder capacity.


3.       Exceptional items

(i) Profit on disposal of fixed asset investments
On 1 March 2004, the Group sold its 20%  shareholding  in QVC (UK),  operator of
QVC - The Shopping  Channel,  for GBP49  million in cash,  realising a profit on
disposal of GBP49 million. The profit on disposal is a non-operating exceptional
item as defined  by FRS 3  "Reporting  Financial  Performance"and  is  therefore
recorded as an exceptional item below operating profit.

On 7 October  2003,  the Group  disposed of its listed  investment in Manchester
United  plc,  realising  a profit on  disposal  of GBP2  million.  The profit on
disposal  is a  non-operating  exceptional  item as defined by FRS 3  "Reporting
Financial  Performance"and  is therefore  recorded as an exceptional  item below
operating profit.

(ii) Amounts written back to (written off) fixed asset investments, net
The Group  reduced its  provision  against its minority  equity  investments  in
football  clubs by GBP33  million,  following the disposal of its  investment in
Manchester  United plc in October 2003 for GBP62 million in cash. The Group also
increased its provision  against its remaining  minority  equity  investments in
football clubs by a further GBP9 million.  The reduction of GBP33 million in the
provision  is  recorded  as an  exceptional  item below  operating  profit as it
relates  directly to the disposal of the investment in Manchester  United plc as
detailed  above.  The  increase of GBP9  million in the  remaining  provision is
recorded as an  exceptional  item below  operating  profit due to the distortion
that its  inclusion  within  operating  expenses  would  have on the  individual
operating expenses line item to which it was attributed.


4.       Basis of preparation

The  Consolidated  Profit and Loss  Account  presentation  includes  the Group's
results  before  goodwill  and  exceptional  items in addition to results  after
goodwill and  exceptional  items as this  presentation  provides an  alternative
basis that may be used to assess the ongoing operating performance of the Group.
