The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes 21 million share options
(2005/06: half year 34 million; full year 37 million), which could potentially
dilute earnings per share in the future. These options do not currently have a
dilutive effect as the exercise price of the options exceeds the average market
price of ordinary shares during the period.

Basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit for the
period into the weighted average number of shares for the period. In order to
provide a measure of underlying performance, management have chosen to present
an adjusted profit for the year which excludes items that may distort
comparability. Such items arise from events or transactions that fall within the
ordinary activities of the Group but which management believes should be
separately identified to help explain underlying performance.

8    Other matters

a)   Contingent liabilities

The Group has contingent liabilities by virtue of its investments in joint
ventures and associates that are unlimited companies, or partnerships, which
include The History Channel (U.K.), Paramount U.K. and NGC-U.K.. The Group's
share of contingent liabilities of its joint ventures and associates incurred
jointly with the other investors is nil (2005/06: half year nil; full year nil).

The Directors do not expect any material loss to arise from the above contingent
liabilities.


b)   Contingent assets

The Group has served a claim for a material amount against EDS (an information
and technology solutions provider) which provided services to the Group as part
of the Group's investment in customer management systems software and
infrastructure. The amount which may be recovered by the Group will not be
finally determined until resolution of the claim.


c) Changes in estimates


There have been no material changes in estimates of amounts reported in the six
months ended 31 December 2006 or in the year ended 30 June 2006.
