3. Exceptional items

The 2006 exceptional charge of £1,300,000 included within operating profit was in respect of onerous property commitments
(£500,000) and restructuring (£800,000). The provision for onerous leases is made against the liability arising on certain
unoccupied leased properties to the extent that the directors believe that costs will not be offset by assignment or sub-letting.
It is anticipated that these provisions will be fully utilised by the end of 2009.
The 2006 profit on the sale of subsidiary of £4,074,000 was in respect of the sale of Two-Ten Communications Limited
in March 2006.
