10 Jul 2007 05:27 PM

Ordnance Survey’s Annual Report was presented to Parliament today.

The national mapping agency posted a surplus of £6.2 million (before interest and dividend) on an operating turnover of £115.5 million, and spending on investment was £21.5 million.

The Report shows that Ordnance Survey exceeded all five financial and service quality targets set by government for 2006–07 and will pay a £4.6 million dividend to the Government. The results also mean that Ordnance Survey has met the target for achieving a return on capital employed, averaged over the three-year period 1 April 2004 to 31 March 2007, of at least 5.5%.
