Classification of continuing and discontinued operations under U.S. GAAP for the year ended March 31, 2002.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
National Grid Transco plc ("NGT") reports that it intends to make a correction to its classification of continuing and discontinued
operations under U.S. GAAP for the year ended March 31, 2002.The effect of this correction will be that in NGT's U.S. GAAP income
statement data and presentation for that year only, the results of operations of certain businesses, which were formerly accounted
for by NGT in accordance with the equity method of accounting, will be re-classified from discontinued operations to the line item
"Interest in equity accounted affiliates" within continuing operations. The businesses concerned operate or operated in the
alternative network telecommunications sector in Europe and Latin America, from which NGT has previously announced its withdrawal.
This correction will be reflected in NGT's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2004, to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission later this month.
NGT's primary financial statements presented under U.K. GAAP will not be affected for any period nor will this change affect total
net income under U.S. GAAP for any period.
