redeemed during the year, at which point the nature of the Company's operations

Principal risks - Financial risk management 
 
 
The principal risks are the financial risks that the directors manage in line 
with BT Group plc (the ultimate controlling entity of the company) ("Group") 
policy. 
 
 
The Group policy is to ensure that at least 70% of net debt is at fixed interest 
rates. Short-term interest rate management is delegated to the Group centralised 
treasury operation, whilst long-term interest rate management decisions require 
further approval from the Group Finance Director, Director Group Financial 
Control and Treasury or the Group Treasurer. 
 
 
Short and medium-term funding are regularly reviewed and managed by BT Group 
plc's centralised treasury operation. The requirement for operating finance is 
met whenever possible from the Group central resources. "
