CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Group Performance
Group profit before tax for the three months to September 30 was £245 million;
this compares with a profit of £5 million last year. Operating profit - - at
£248 million - - was £176m better than last year. The operating margin was
11.8%, 8.6 points better than last year.
The Board has again decided that no interim dividend will be paid.
The improvement in operating profit reflects significant cost reductions due to
the actions taken before and after the September 11th attacks, improved
contribution from the cargo business and the increasing impact of the Future
Size and Shape programme, which continues on track. Whilst revenue fell, due to
the weak global economy and the effects of exchange, unprofitable capacity was
reduced and efficiency actions continued in all areas.
Group profit before tax for the six months to September 30 was £310 million,
£265 million better than last year; operating profit - - at £406 million - - was
£284 million better than last year.
Cash inflow before financing was £738 million for the six months, with the
closing cash balance of £1,538 million representing a £319 million increase
versus March 31. Net debt fell by £770 million to £5,524 million - - its lowest
level since September 30, 1999 - - and is down £1 billion from the December 2001
peak.
Turnover
For the three month period, group turnover - - at £2,104 million - - was down
6.5% on a flying programme 8.7% smaller in ATKs. Passenger yields were up 1.2%
per RPK; seat factor was up 2.8 points at 76.7% on capacity 10.1% lower in ASKs.
For the six month period, turnover declined by 8.6% to £4,156 million on a
flying programme 10.6% smaller in ATKs. Passenger yields were up 3.0% per RPK
with seat factor up 1.7 points at 73.6% on capacity 12.4% lower in ASKs.
Cargo volumes for the quarter (CTKs) were up 12.9% compared with last year, with
yields (revenue/CTK) down 5.9%. For the six month period, cargo volumes were up
3.7%, with yields down 2.3%.
Overall load factor for the quarter was up 4.7 points at 69.5%, and for the half
year up 3.0 points at 67.4%.
Costs
For the quarter, unit costs (pence/ATK) improved by 6.1% on the same period last
year. This reflects a net cost reduction of 14.3% on capacity 8.7% lower in
ATKs.
Significant reductions were achieved in all categories of operating cost,
including manpower costs down 15.1%, fuel costs down 32.3% (primarily due to
improvements in fuel price net of hedging together with reduced flying levels),
accommodation and other costs down 12.3% (mainly due to contractor and IM cost
savings) and other operating costs down 13.4%.
For the half year, unit costs (pence/ATK) improved by 4.3% on the same period
last year. This reflects a net cost reduction of 14.5% on capacity 10.6% lower
in ATKs.
Non Operating Items
Net interest expense for the quarter was £21 million, down £61 million on last
year and net of a credit due to the revaluation of yen debts (used to fund
aircraft acquisitions) of £43 million.
Profits on disposals of fixed assets and investments for the quarter were £9
million.
For the six month period interest expense was £130 million, down £56 million on
last year. Profits on disposal were £28 million, down £73 million from last year
when go was sold at a profit of £98 million.
Earnings Per Share
The profit attributable to shareholders for the three months was equivalent to
14.1 pence per share, compared with last year's profit per share of 1.8 pence.
For the six month period, the profit attributable to shareholders was £192
million, equivalent to 17.8 pence per share, compared with earnings of 4.2 pence
per share last year.
Net Debt / Total Capital Ratio
Borrowings, net of cash and short term loans and deposits, were £5,524 million
at September 30 - - down £1 billion from the December 2001 peak and down £770
million since the start of the year (primarily £299 million of debt repayment,
£326 million increase in cash and exchange gains of £145 million). The net debt/
total capital ratio reduced by 4.9 points from March 2002 to 61.1%.
During the six months we generated a positive cashflow from operations of £756
million. After disposal proceeds, capital expenditure and interest payments on
our existing debt, cash inflow was £738 million. This represents a £684 million
improvement on last year, primarily due to the improvement in operating cashflow
(£145 million), disposal proceeds net of capital expenditure (£387 million) and
no dividend payment (£137 million).
Aircraft Fleet
During the quarter the Group fleet in service reduced by 2 to 349 aircraft.
Reductions included 1 Boeing 757-200 and 1 Boeing 737-300 stood down pending
disposal, together with 1 Turboprop and 2 Embraer 145s returned to lessor. The
reductions were partially offset by the deliveries of 1 Embraer 145 and 2 Airbus
A320 aircraft.
Future Size and Shape
The implementation of the shorthaul pricing initiatives announced as part of the
Future Size and Shape programme is nearing completion. Lower fares are available
without the previous restrictions on a total of 176 routes.
Forecast capital spend for the year remains on target at £450 million. FSAS
disposal proceeds at September 30 were £426 million (including £218 million in
2001/02) and the remaining £74 million to achieve the £500 million target will
be delivered before year end.
The group manpower reduction since August 2001 totals 9,786 including 1,397
relating to the disposal of World Network Services.
Associates
Qantas announced full year profits before tax of A$631 million. In addition they
have completed a rights issue raising A$718 million of new capital. Our
non-participation in their rights issue and dividend reinvestment plan resulted
in the reduction of our holding from 21.4% to 19.0%.
Alliance development
We continue to develop our relationship with Iberia following the signing of a
commercial agreement to work more closely across our complementary global
networks. The extension of codesharing services to include Heathrow - Madrid and
Heathrow - Barcelona is on track, as is codesharing with SN Brussels Airlines.
We have also reached agreement with Swiss to continue the block space codeshare
agreement on their Heathrow - Basle service for a further year.
Outlook
While the travel market continues to be subject to global economic and political
uncertainty the revenue outlook has stabilised. The implementation of the Future
Size and Shape programme continues on track and is delivering the cost savings
that, in the absence of war or terrorist action, are expected to return our
business to profitability for the full year.

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 six months ended September 30, 2002.

UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (US GAAP) INFORMATION
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
accepted in the United Kingdom which differ in certain respects from those
generally accepted in the United States. The significant differences are the
same as those set out in the Report and Accounts for the year ended March 31,
2002, with the exception of the implementation of SFAS 142 'Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets' from April 1, 2002.
SFAS 142 includes the requirements to test goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets for impairment rather than amortise them. Intangible assets
that are not deemed to have an indefinite life continue to be amortised over
their estimated useful lives. Amortisation of goodwill charged under UK GAAP has
been reversed for US GAAP. During the quarter the Group completed a goodwill
impairment review using the two-step process prescribed in SFAS 142. No
impairment charge resulted from this review.
The adjusted net income and shareholders' equity applying US GAAP are set out below:
