Segmental information Business analysis Turnover from airport operations has been analysed to separately identify traffic income (which now includes income related to passenger numbers in addition to aircraft movements), commercial income and tenant income. This is a change from previous analyses, and has been reflected in the comparative amounts because the directors believe this provides a more relevant indication of the relative performance of the various elements of the business. In the segmental information below, airport ownership relates to airports which are either owned or operated under long term interests.

In addition, included within UK corporation tax from discontinued operations there is a taxation credit of some £3.5 million in respect of the loss arising on the sale of the property business. As at 31 March 2000, losses estimated at £20 million (1999 : £23 million) were available to be carried forward for taxation purposes and offset against future taxable profits. The taxation relating to discontinued operations arises in respect of the companies engaged in the carrying on and financing of the Group's property operations. 4.

Earnings per share Earnings per share have been calculated in accordance with FRS 14, 'earnings per share', by dividing the (loss)/profit attributable to shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, based on the following information: Year ended Year ended 31 March 2000 31 March 1999 (Loss)/profit attributable to (5,223) 17,409 shareholders (£'000) Earnings from continuing operations 11,252 8,025 (£'000) Basic weighted average share capital 476 442 (number of shares, million) Diluted weighted average share capital 479 446 (number of shares, million) The difference between the basic and the diluted weighted average number of shares is wholly attributable to outstanding share options. The calculation of earnings per share from continuing operations is based on the following analysis: Year to 31 Year to 31 March 2000 March 1999 Continuing operations Turnover 90,712 63,492 ----------------------- Operating profit before reorganisation 20,510 19,363 costs Non-recurring items* (513) - ----------------------- Profit on ordinary activities before 19,997 19,363 interest and taxation Net interest expense (4,535) (8,052) ----------------------- Profit on ordinary activities before 15,462 11,311 taxation Taxation on profit on ordinary (4,210) (3,286) activities ----------------------- Profit for the financial period 11,252 8,025 ----------------------- Discontinued operations Turnover 5,390 34,808 ----------------------- Operating profit before reorganisation 2,668 13,509 costs Non-recurring items** (21,518) 3,894 ----------------------- (Loss)/profit on ordinary activities (18,850) 17,403 before interest and taxation Net interest expense (1,103) (7,660) ----------------------- (Loss)/profit on ordinary activities (19,953) 9,743 before taxation Taxation on (loss)/profit on ordinary 3,478 (359) activities ------------------------ (Loss)/profit for the financial period (16,475) 9,384 ------------------------ Total operations ------------------------ (Loss)/profit for the financial period (5,223) 17,409 ------------------------ *This includes reorganisation costs of £1.5 million and the profit recognised on the partial sale of Northern Territories Airports PTY Limited of £1 million. **This relates to the loss on the sale of the property business and the loss on sale of investment properties. The directors believe that it is appropriate to calculate earnings per share on continuing operations because the year ended 31 March 2000 is a transitional year for the Group with significant non-recurring items reported. 6. Principal acquisitions Airport Group International During the year, the Group acquired the entire issued share capital of Airport Group International Holdings, LLC ('AGI'). The fair value attributed to the assets and liabilities acquired and the goodwill arising on the transaction was accounted for in accordance with FRS 7, 'fair value in acquisition accounting'.

There were other acquisitions in the period, giving rise to aggregate goodwill amounting to £3.4 million, but these are not considered significant enough to warrant further disclosures. 7. Sale of property business and partial disposal of trade investment Property business On 21 June 1999, the Group disposed of its property business which encompassed its non-airport related investment and development properties, excluding the Hilton Cardiff Hotel, to London & Regional Properties Limited ('London & Regional'). The total transaction proceeds were £190 million including the issue of a loan note from a subsidiary of London & Regional for a principal amount of £20 million. The loan note is interest bearing and has a maturity date of 30 June 2001. This transaction was timed to coincide with the early redemption of the £22.5 million 8 3/4 % First Mortgage Debenture Stock ('Debenture') and the repayment of certain other indebtedness. The loss on sale of the property business amounted to some £17.9 million after expensing the penalties on early redemption of the Debenture and other indebtedness and professional fees. A further amount of £3.6 million, representing the reinstatement and write- off of goodwill previously written off directly to reserves, increased the total charge in the period in respect of the sale of the property business to £21.5 million.

The total transaction proceeds were £8.20 million (A$21.65 million) which realised a profit on sale of £0.99 million (A$2.65 million). 8.Analysis of net debt Cash Loan Other Sub Debt Debt Finance Total note bank total due due lease receiv deposi within after and able ts one one hire year year purchase arrange- ments £'000 £'000 £'000 £'000 £'000 £'000 £'000 At 31 4,240 - 6,796 11,036 (11,070) 178,728 (8,429) (187,191) March 1999 Cashflow (3,262) - 5,299 2,037 19,115 89,970 1,733 112,855 Acquisitions - - 360 360 (16,114) (6,690) - (22,444) Non-cash - 20,000 - 20,000 4 (4) (991) 19,009 changes Exchange (42) - 61 19 (517) 282 - (216) movements At 31 936 20,000 12,516 33,452 (8,582) (95,170) (7,687) (77,987) March 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------- At 31 2,062 - 8,476 10,538 (5,603)(191,091) (6,336)(192,492) March 1998 Cashflow 2,159 - (1,831) 328 (5,467) 30,281 1,323 26,465 Acquisitions - - - - - (17,254) - (17,254) Non-cash - - - - - - (3,416) (3,416) changes Exchange 19 - 151 170 - (664) - (494) movements At 31 4,240 - 6,796 11,036 (11,070)(178,728) (8,429)(187,191) March 1999 -------------------------------------------------------------- Corporate operational information Airport ownership with a controlling interest 31 31 31 31 31 31 31 31 31 31 March March March March March March March March March March 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 Belfast Cardiff Orlando Stockholm Bolivian International International Sanford Skavsta Airports Airport Airport Airport Total passengers Charter 768,962 658,005 988,077 945,687 860,555 1,106,033 13,839 19,754 - - Schedule 2,318,018 319,852 1,038,100 2,011,108 303,972 22,728 - 236,060 187,952 2,388,386 Transit 24,759 43,205 29,322 33,622 113,218 221,140 8,308 4,657 - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 3,111,739 1,337,251 996,501 258,207 1,038,100 2,712,318 1,283,281 1,327,173 212,363 2,388,386 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terminal Passengers Spend per head £2.18 £2.18 £2.78 £3.58 £4.17 £3.74 £1.74 £4.87* £0.72** N/A Net passenger supplement per head £4.54 £4.86 £5.63 £4.58 £1.52 £1.34 £0.47 £0.44* £0.33** N/A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total £6.72 £7.04 £8.41 £8.16 £5.69 £5.08 £2.21 £5.31* £1.05** N/A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charter services Number of tour operators 22 20 28 30 16 16 3 3 - - Number of seats (capacity) 880,000 785,000 1,135,721 1,074,971 905,000 1,165,000 14,644 21,950 - - New charter destinations 3 4 - 1 - - - - - - Scheduled services Number of major airlines 11 10 4 4 1 - 2 2 7 9 Number of seats (capacity) 3,180,000 542,151 75,394 - 340,272 858,600 3,000,000 533,340 268,394 1,880,280 Freight tonnage 41,474 41,068 3,091 2,649 9,775 11,519 25,519 31,676 5,929 11,700 Some of the direct services from Belfast International Airport - Aberdeen, Birmingham, Brussels, Cardiff, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Jersey, Liverpool, London Heathrow, London Luton, Manchester, New York and Shannon.
