18. Acquisitions and disposals continued
b
On completion of the unwind of Concert on 1 April 2002, the former Concert businesses, customer accounts and
networks were returned to the two parent companies with BT and AT&T each taking ownership of substantially
those parts of the Concert global venture originally contributed by them. As part of the settlement with AT&T for
the unwind of the Concert global venture BT received net cash of US$72 million (£56 million). This net
settlement included the receipt of US$350 million reflecting the allocation of the businesses and the payment of
US$278 million to achieve the equal division of specified working capital and other liability balances. The results
of the acquired businesses, both pre and post acquisition, cannot be separately identified and, therefore, cannot
be reported.
