Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements In order to utilise the ‘Safe Harbor’ provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, British Telecommunications plc is providing the following cautionary statement. The annual report includes ‘forward-looking information’ within the meaning of section 27Aof the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the US Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain sections of this annual report are forward looking in nature. These include, without limitation: A. those concerning (i) possible or assumed future results of operations of BT and/or its associates and joint ventures, (ii) impact of regulatory initiatives on BT’s operations, (iii) expectations regarding competition, prices and growth, (iv) impact of the Year 2000 issue, (v) impact on BT of the proposed global venture with AT&T, (vi) adequacy of capital, (vii) impact of legal proceedings on BT’s financial position and results of operations; and B. those preceded by, followed by, or that include the words “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates” or similar expressions. Although the company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, material adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets served by BT; future regulatory actions and conditions in BT’s operating areas, including competition from others in the UK and other international telecommunications markets; the timing of entry and profitability of BT in certain national markets; the risks, costs and uncertainties (including the lack of available information) in addressing Year 2000 issues; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. 1 Financial highlights Earnings and dividends per share (pence) YEARS ENDED 31 MARCH 1999 1998 1997 YEARS ENDED 31 MARCH !!!11110!!!11110!!!11110% Total turnover 85 4. – ongoing activities £18,223m £16,039m £15,021m 5 Exceptional operating 46.3 income (costs) £(69)m £238m – 32.8 Total operating profit £3,474m £3,461m £3,429m 31.6 27.8 26.6 Profit on sale of 20.4 19.0 18.7 17.7 fixed asset investments £1,107m – – Profit before taxation £4,295m £3,214m £3,203m Windfall tax charge – £510m – 95 96 97 98 99 Profit after taxation £3,002m £1,727m £2,101m Earnings per share 00001!!!11110!!!11110!!!11110 Dividends per share Basic earnings per share 46.3p 26.6p 32.8p The 1997 dividends included a special dividend of 35 pence per share.
