CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Group Performance
Group loss before tax for the three months ended December 31, 2001 was £160
million - compared to a profit of £65 million last year.
Operating loss - - at £187 million was £267 million worse than last year's
operating profit. This reflected both immediate reduction in demand following
the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States and the slowdown in the
United States and other economies. Passenger yields for the quarter were up 0.3
% on a year ago; total costs were down 8.5% but units costs were up 5.7%, on
capacity down 12.7%.
Group loss before tax for the nine months to December 31, was £115 million;
operating loss -- at £65 million -- was down £506 million on the same period a
year ago.
Turnover
Group turnover for the three months was down 19.9% versus last year -- at £1,839
million -- on a flying programme 16.3% smaller in available seat kilometres
(ASK). Passenger yields were up 0.3% despite a weaker mix of premium passengers
and special promotional fares prior to Christmas to attract passengers back into
the air. The impact of September 11 and the economic slowdown in the United
States reduced traffic, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, by 20.3% in
the quarter. Premium traffic declined 27.3% and non premium 16.2%.
For the nine month period, turnover declined by 10.8% to £6,387 million on a
flying programme 12.4% smaller.
In the three month period, Cargo revenue continued to be affected by September
11, declining 21.4%, principally as a result of reduced demand -- tonnage was
down 23.8% compared to last year.
Unit Costs
Despite a 12.7% reduction in capacity (measured in available tonne kilometres)
unit costs increased by only 5.7%. This reflected the swift cost control actions
we took in the immediate aftermath of September 11. By December 31, we had
reduced our manpower equivalent levels by 5,800 or 80% of the target of 7,200.
We expect to achieve the remaining reductions, as planned, by the end of this
financial year. Reduced advertising spend, capital thrifting, other expenditure
reductions and cash preservation actions have also exceeded initial estimates.
Productivity for the quarter (as measured by ATKs per manpower equivalent)
declined by 7.7% year over year as the manpower reductions lag behind the
capacity reductions.
Non Operating Items
Profits on disposals of fixed assets and investments for the three months were
£34 million, compared to a £6 million loss for the same period last year. The
profit included £23 million on the disposal of our shares in France Telecom
(formerly shares held in Equant).
For the nine month period, profits on disposal were £135 million, including a
£98 million profit on the disposal of go. Last year's loss on disposal for the
same nine months of £73 million largely reflected the book loss on the disposal
of Air Liberte.
Non Operating Items (Continued)
Net interest expense for the quarter was £5 million lower than last year, mainly
because book credits for the revaluation of yen debts (used to fund aircraft
acquisitions) were £20 million higher. The year over year revaluation benefit --
a non cash item required by standard accounting practice -- results from the
strengthening of sterling against the yen. This benefit more than offset the
increased interest charge incurred from an increased level of net debt.
Earnings/(Loss) Per Share
For the three month period, the loss attributable to shareholders was
£144 million, equivalent to a loss per share of 13.4 pence, compared with
earnings of 3.3 pence per share last year.
For the nine month period, the loss attributable to shareholders was
£99 million, equivalent to a loss per share of 9.2 pence, compared with earnings
of 11.1 pence per share last year.
Net Debt / Total Capital Ratio
Borrowings, net of cash and short term loans and deposits were £6,562 million at
December 31, 2001 - up £339 million since March 31, 2001 -- due primarily to
further finance leases, new general purpose loans and borrowings taken on by the
Group on the acquisition of British Regional Air Lines. Net debt/total capital
ratio increased by 2 points to 66.5%.
As at December 31, 2001 we had cash and deposits of £1,224 million, an increase
of £164 million during the quarter. At the same date we had committed undrawn
facilities of £573 million.
During the third quarter we generated a positive cashflow from operations of £47
million. After payments for capital expenditure and interest payments on our
existing debt there was a cash outflow of £78 million. This is better than
previous expectations given the cyclicality of our business. We also made £129
million of scheduled debt repayments in the quarter.
Aircraft Fleet
In the quarter ending December 31, 2001 the fleet in service reduced by 6
aircraft to 367.
This included additions of 2 Boeing 777s and 5 Airbus A319s. Disposals included
2 Boeing 747-200s, 3 Boeing 757-200s, 1 Boeing 737-400, 1 Turbo prop and 6
further 747-200s stood down pending sale. In addition, 6 767-300s are
temporarily out of service.
Concorde resumed services to New York on November 7, 2001 and to Barbados on
December 1, 2001. Four aircraft have now been returned to service.
Subsidiaries and Associates
On May 10, we completed the purchase of British Regional Air Lines and on June
14, we sold our no frills subsidiary go.
On October 25 and December 10 Qantas completed rights issues to fund future
aircraft orders. We decided not to participate in either of these rights issues
and as a consequence our shareholding in Qantas has fallen from 25% to 21.4%.
Government Compensation
We have registered our compensation claim with Her Majesty's Government in
respect of the four day closure of United States and Israel air space following
the events of September 11. We anticipate notification of the compensation to be
given by the Government before the end of February and will include any such
claim received in our fourth quarter results.
Alliance Development
In August we announced plans with American Airlines for a new alliance that
includes profit sharing on nine transatlantic routes, codesharing, frequent
flyer interchangeability and joint scheduling, pricing and marketing. The US
Department of Transportation's regulatory conditions for anti-trust immunity for
the proposed alliance were rejected by British Airways and American Airlines on
January 25 as too high and unrealistic.
American Airlines remains British Airways partner of choice across the Atlantic.
Both airlines pledged to continue to develop the bilateral relationships within
the oneworld alliance which is still a central plank of the alliance strategy.
British Airways and American Airlines will continue to give passengers access to
each others' networks and will deliver as much of the customer proposition as
they can within the existing legal boundaries.
Outlook
The general economic weakness in many of our key markets is expected to
continue. The initial uncertainty and concern caused by the events of September
11 have diminished and as a consequence there is an improving revenue trend.
We expect to complete our review of the future size and shape of our business
later in February and plan to announce any restructuring costs at that time.

7 TAX
During the period ended June 30, 2001 the company implemented FRS 19 'Deferred Tax', which requires full provision
for deferred tax. Under the options allowed the company chose not to discount the resulting provision. Within the
tax credit for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 is a net credit of £21 million which arises as a result of
implementing this standard, including a charge of £11 million relating to the sale of go and our shares in France
Telecom (formerly shares held in Equant)(net of £19 million capital losses brought forward). In addition the
comparatives have been restated, resulting in an increase to the tax charge of £72 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 2000 and an increase to the tax charge of £50 million for the year ended March 31, 2001. The
deferred tax provision is included on balance sheet and amounts to £1,040 million at December 31, 2001 (March 31,
2001: £1,051 million; December 31, 2000: £1,073 million). None of the deferred tax is expected to become payable in
the forseeable future.
8 EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings/(loss) per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 are calculated on a weighted average of
1,076,077,000 ordinary shares (December 2000: 1,075,490,000) and for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, on a
weighted average of 1,076,091,000 ordinary shares (December 2000: 1,075,341,000) as adjusted for shares held for
the purposes of employee share ownership plans including the Long Term Incentive Plan. Diluted earnings/(loss) per
share for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 are calculated on a weighted average of 1,076,077,000 ordinary shares
(December 2000: 1,085,179,000) and for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 on a weighted average of
1,079,118,000 ordinary shares (December 2000: 1,084,536,000).
The number of shares in issue at December 31, 2001 was 1,082,754,000 (December 31, 2000: 1,082,234,000; March 31,
2001: 1,082,552,000) ordinary shares of 25 pence each.

Statement and Notes to the Accounts and we have read the other information
contained in the third quarter results and considered whether it contains any
apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial
information.
Directors' responsibilities
The third quarter results, including the financial information contained
therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the Directors. The
Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent
with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any
changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review
consists principally of making enquiries of Group management and applying
analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data
and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation
have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes
audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets,
liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
performed in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards and therefore
provides a lower level of assurance than an audit.
Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for both the three
months and nine months ended December 31, 2001.
