During the year, the division invested in Internet and
Broadband and the BBC Motion Gallery business units, which
it expects to develop profitably. This investment has enabled
a number of innovative deals with mobile phone companies
and BBC Motion Gallery to launch its online clip sales
business. Before this investment, the underlying profit margin
from these businesses improved year on year.
The division also incurred significant exceptional costs
relating to business units it has either exited or plans to sell.
These included a one-off restructuring charge of £2.7m in
Multimedia and £1m technology write-off in BDS.
