Flextech sale spares blushes
Article Abstract:
BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of BBC, has been saved from an embarrassing dip into the red in 1997 due to the 20 million pounds sterling one-off sale of shares in Flextech Television. According to Worldwide's annual report and accounts for 1997-98, the firm posted an operating loss of 7.2 million over the period. However, due to the sale in June 1998 of 3.8 million shares in Flextech, which is worth 20.7 million pounds sterling, Worldwide's profit before tax were increased to 13.5 million pounds sterling.
