RM is aseasonal business, with the majority of revenue and profit occurring in thesecond half. However, the substantial year-on-year increase in committedrevenues clearly shows that the visibility of RM's future business is muchimproved. BSF remains the single most important driver of the Group's future success. Byany measure, we've had an excellent year for project wins in FY2007 and have setour future project win rate (by value) target higher as a result. BSF is along-term investment case - longer than many others in the software and computerservices sector. The projects won in FY2007 will not significantly impactrevenues and profits before FY2009/10, whilst bidding costs for these projectshave already been expensed. However, with the projects we have already won andthose we expect to win over the next few years, we anticipate the profitcontribution from BSF will exceed bid costs in FY2010. Each of our focus areas is progressing well: Learning Technologies has anextremely strong set of innovative products covering all of the important areasof schools ICT infrastructure; Education Resources has now reached significantscale; Assessment and Data Services has moved from piloting and exploration todelivering mainstream outsourced examination services; and Education ManagementSystems is reaching the end of a period of investment in product development. RM is a group of business wholly focussed on education. With consistenteducation spending growth - both in the UK and across the world - we're aimingfor growth.
