Net revenue was 22.6 million pounds (US$32.1 million) for the quarter and 143.5 million pounds ($203.8 million) for the full year, a decrease of 26% on the previous year. On a US GAAP basis, the Group had a pre-exceptional loss before tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 of 26.9 million pounds ($38.3 million) bringing the total for the year to 40.9 million pounds ($58.1 million) compared to a pre-exceptional loss before tax of 30.6 million pounds in 2000.
