NTL (Delaware), Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated May 4, 2001 of NTL (Delaware), Inc.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer permitted. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination that is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 ends the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under certain conditions) for impairment in accordance with this statement. This impairment test uses a fair value approach rather than the undiscounted cash flow approach previously required by SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.” The amortization of goodwill included in our investments in equity investees will no longer be recorded upon adoption of the new rules. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. The Company has not yet completed an analysis of whether goodwill may be impaired under SFAS No. 142; this analysis will be completed during the first six months of 2002 in accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Company expects to complete an analysis for the fourth quarter of 2001 to determine whether goodwill is impaired under SFAS No. 121. The magnitude of an impairment charge, if any, under either accounting standard cannot be determined at this time.

Note B – Corporate Restructuring

On May 18, 2000, NTL Incorporated completed a corporate restructuring to create a holding company structure. The formation of the holding company was part of NTL Incorporated’s acquisition of certain assets of Cable & Wireless Communications plc (“CWC”) (the operations acquired from CWC are

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Note B – Corporate Restructuring (continued)

called “ConsumerCo”). The holding company restructuring was accomplished through a merger so that all the stockholders of NTL Incorporated at the effective time of the merger became stockholders of the new holding company, and NTL Incorporated became a subsidiary of the new holding company. The new holding company has taken the name NTL Incorporated and the holding company’s subsidiary simultaneously changed its name to NTL (Delaware), Inc. The “Company” refers to NTL Incorporated and subsidiaries up to and including May 17, 2000, and to NTL (Delaware), Inc. and subsidiaries beginning May 18, 2000.

On February 21, 2001, NTL Communications Corp. (“NTL Communications”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a transaction whereby it acquired the entire issued share capital of NTL (CWC Holdings) Limited (the entity that owns ConsumerCo) from NTL Incorporated. As a result of this transaction, ConsumerCo became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company accounted for the transaction in a manner consistent with a transfer of entities under common control, which is similar to a “pooling of interests.” Accordingly, the net assets and results of operations of ConsumerCo have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from May 30, 2000, the date of NTL Incorporated’s acquisition of ConsumerCo.

On March 28, 2000, the Company acquired the cable assets of the Cablecom Group (“Cablecom”) in Switzerland. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the net assets and results of operations of Cablecom have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On May 30, 2000, NTL Incorporated acquired ConsumerCo. On February 21, 2001, NTL Incorporated contributed the assets of ConsumerCo to NTL Communications. The Company accounted for the contribution in a manner consistent with a transfer of entities under common control, which is similar to a “pooling of interests.” Accordingly, the net assets and results of operations of ConsumerCo have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from May 30, 2000.

The pro forma unaudited consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 assuming consummation of these transactions as of January 1, 2000 is as follows (in millions). A significant component of the pro forma results is associated with the acquisition of ConsumerCo. The historical results of ConsumerCo reflect certain intercompany costs and expenses as they were prior to the separation of ConsumerCo which was completed in the second quarter of 2000. These costs and expenses do not necessarily reflect the costs and expenses that would have been incurred had ConsumerCo reported as a separate entity for these periods. Therefore the historical results of ConsumerCo which are included in the pro forma results below are not reflective of results on a going forward basis.

Amortization of intangible and other assets charged to expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $1,261.7 million and $628.7 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible and other assets charged to expense for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $389.1 million and $337.8 million, respectively.

Note E – Long-Term Debt (continued)

In May 2000, NTL Business Limited (“NTL Business”) and NTL Communications Limited (“NTLCL”), wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a £2,500.0 million ($3,672.8 million) credit agreement in connection with the ConsumerCo acquisition. As of September 30, 2001, there was £2,500.0 million ($3,672.8 million) outstanding under the credit agreement. The effective interest rate at September 30, 2001 was 6.79%.

In March 2000, a subsidiary of the Company borrowed CHF 2,700.0 million ($1,667.8 million) under its term loan facility in connection with the acquisition of Cablecom. The effective interest rate at September 30, 2001 was 5.27%. Cablecom has the option to draw on a revolving loan facility up to an additional CHF 1,400.0 million ($864.8 million). As of September 30, 2001, Cablecom had borrowed CHF 775.0 million ($478.7 million) under the revolving loan facility with an effective interest rate of 5.65%.

In January 2001, NTL Communications Corp. (“NTL Communications”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued €200.0 million ($182.0 million) aggregate principal amount of 12-3/8% Senior Euro Notes due February 1, 2008. In February 2001, NTL Communications issued an additional €100.0 million principal amount of 12-3/8% Senior Euro Notes due February 1, 2008 at a price of 100.1% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity or €101.0 million ($91.9 million). NTL Communications received aggregate proceeds of approximately $271.2 million after underwriters’ commissions and other fees. Interest is payable semiannually in cash at a rate of 12-3/8% per annum from August 1, 2001. These notes may not be redeemed by NTL Communications except in limited circumstances.

In February 2001, $109.5 million principal amount of NTL Communications 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2008 were converted into 2.8 million shares of NTL Incorporated’s common stock at the applicable conversion price of $39.20 per share. NTL Incorporated issued as a premium on the conversion an additional 0.5 million shares which were valued at the closing common stock price on the dates of conversion. The premium, which amounted to $17.6 million, is included in interest expense. Additionally accrued and unpaid interest of $1.2 million at the time of the conversion was waived by the holders of the convertible notes.

On February 21, 2001, as required by the NTL Business and NTLCL credit agreement, NTL Communications completed a transaction whereby it acquired the entire issued share capital of NTL (CWC Holdings) Limited (the entity that owns ConsumerCo) from NTL Incorporated and the entire issued share capital of NTL Business from NTL Delaware in exchange for shares of its common stock. As a result of this transaction, ConsumerCo and NTL Business became subsidiaries of NTL Communications and NTL Business’ rights and obligations under the £2,500.0 million credit agreement were assigned to a subsidiary of NTLCL.

Note F – Derivative Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138. The new accounting standard requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in the results of operations or in other comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether a derivative is designated as a fair value or cash flow hedge. The ineffective portion of all hedges is recognized in the results of operations.

On January 1, 2001, the Company recorded all of its outstanding derivative instruments at their fair value. The outstanding derivative instruments were comprised of cross currency swaps to hedge exposure to movements in the British pound/U.S. dollar exchange rate, and a number of zero cost collars to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on certain of its debt. The aggregate fair value on January 1, 2001 was a liability of $9.0 million, of which $6.8 million was recorded as an expense and $2.2 million was recorded as other comprehensive loss. In 2001, the Company entered into cross currency swaps to hedge exposure to movements in the Euro/British pound exchange rate. In the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recorded income of $3.3 million and other comprehensive loss of $16.2 million as a result of changes in the fair values. The aggregate fair value at September 30, 2001 was a net liability of $21.9 million.

In September 2001, the Company entered into a British pound forward foreign exchange agreement, consisting of twenty-six accumulating forward contracts, to reduce its exposure to movement in the British pound/U.S. dollar exchange rate in accordance with its market risk strategies. This agreement and the underlying contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 (as amended). Instead, it will be accounted for as a financial instrument under SFAS No. 107, with any change in fair value recorded in results of operations. As of September 30, 2001, the fair value of this instrument was a liability of $0.1 million.

Note G – Non-Cash Compensation

In July 2001, the Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved modifications to certain stock options. The latest possible expiration date of options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 4.7 million shares of NTL Incorporated common stock with exercise prices from $.17 to $14.76 per share was extended from July 30, 2001 to October 2004, as applicable, to January 30, 2006. The Company recognized non-cash compensation expense of $30.6 million based on the difference between the quoted market price of the common stock on the date of the modification of $12.05 per share and the exercise price per share.

Note G – Non-Cash Compensation (continued)

In September 2000, the Board of Directors approved modifications to certain stock options granted to employees in November 1999 through May 2000. Options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 16.5 million shares of NTL Incorporated common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $64.39 per share were modified such that the exercise price was reduced to $44.50 per share and the vesting schedule was delayed and/or lengthened. NTL Incorporated is accounting for these options as a variable plan beginning in September 2000. The Company will recognize its share of non-cash compensation expense for the difference between the quoted market price of the common stock and the exercise price of the vested options while the options remain outstanding.

The Compensation Committee has taken the actions described above to continue to provide the appropriate performance incentives to those affected.

Note H – Other Charges

Other charges of $56.5 million and $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, include costs incurred primarily to integrate the acquired companies, mostly related to information technology integration, as well as costs incurred for business rationalization consulting.

Note I – Restructuring Costs

The Company recorded restructuring costs in November 2000 as a result of the completion of a consolidation review. This charge consisted of employee severance and related costs of $47.9 million for approximately 2,300 employees to be terminated and lease exit costs of $18.0 million. As of September 30, 2001, $42.1 million of the provision had been used, including $36.1 million for employee severance and related costs and $6.0 million for lease exit costs. As of September 30, 2001, approximately 1,600 employees had been terminated. The remaining restructuring reserve of $23.8 million includes $11.8 million for employee severance and related costs and $12.0 million for lease exit costs.

Note K– Related Party Transactions

On April 12, 2001, NTL Incorporated purchased $15.0 million of an unsecured convertible note of CoreComm Limited, a company that offers telecommunications and Internet services to residential and business customers in the United States. In addition, concurrently with the note purchase and without additional compensation, NTL Incorporated entered into a network and software agreement with CoreComm. Under the agreement, CoreComm will provide U.S. network access for Internet traffic from NTL Incorporated’s U.K. customers, as well as a royalty free license to use certain billing and provisioning software and know-how. Certain officers and directors of NTL Incorporated are also officers and directors of CoreComm. In light of this relationship, the independent directors of NTL Incorporated examined the transaction with CoreComm. The board of directors determined that the

transaction was inherently fair and provided NTL Incorporated with benefits that exceeded those that could be obtained from a third party.

On September 28, 2001, NTL Communications loaned NTL Incorporated $150.0 million in cash and received 15.0% Promissory Notes due September 30, 2004. Interest is payable monthly in cash at a rate of 15.0% per annum beginning on October 31, 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain costs have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to operating expenses in the first and second quarters of 2001 to conform to the current presentation. The amounts reclassified were $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2001 and $34.7 million in the second quarter of 2001. Cablecom consumer revenue and operating expenses for the first quarter of 2001 were reclassified in the second quarter of 2001 to conform to the second quarter and current presentation in the current quarter. In addition, certain revenues have been reclassified from business telecommunications to broadcast transmission and other, and certain costs have been reclassified from operating expenses to selling, general and administrative expenses in 2000 to conform to the 2001 classifications.

In 2000 and 2001, the substantial majority of revenues in all segments were derived from operations in the United Kingdom.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

Consumer telecommunications and television revenues increased to $618.2 million from $566.0 million as a result of price increases, upselling new services to customers and from growth in the Company’s customer base. Upselling to existing customers, new digital and cable modem customers and the price increases implemented in the first and second quarters of 2001 resulted in average revenue per unit (“ARPU”) increases that contributed to the revenue increases. Increases in ARPU is also expected to be achieved by providing new services such as digital television, cable modem and mobile telephone services to consumer customers.

Business telecommunications revenues increased to $221.7 million from $185.7 million primarily as a result of the acquisition of the UK assets and contracts of Viatel UK in the third quarter of 2001. In addition, the Company continues to focus specific sales and marketing effort on winning business customers in its franchise areas and increasing revenue from its existing customers.

Broadcast transmission and other revenues increased to $87.4 million from $79.0 million. The increase reflects increases in the number of broadcast television and FM radio customers and accounts, which exceeded price cap reductions in the Company’s regulated services, and increases in satellite and media services used by broadcast and media customers. The Company expects growth in broadcast services to be driven primarily by contracts related to the increased demand for tower infrastructure by wireless services operators expanding and upgrading their networks for wireless broadband, the privatization of national broadcast networks, the digitalization of analog television and radio signals and the further development of programming for the European markets requiring satellite and terrestrial distribution services.

Operating expenses (including network expenses) increased to $438.6 million from $424.7 million as a result of increases in interconnection and programming costs due to revenue growth. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 47.3% in 2001 from 51.1% in 2000. The percentage decrease reflects cost savings efforts such as fault reduction and increased field force effectiveness.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $296.7 million from $314.1 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 32.0% in 2001 from 37.8% in 2000. The absolute and percentage declines reflect cost savings efforts including the restructuring in November 2000.

NTL (Delaware), Inc. and Subsidiaries

Other charges increased to $31.2 million from $6.0 million. Other charges include costs incurred primarily to integrate the acquired companies, mostly related to information technology integration, as well as costs incurred for business rationalization consulting. The increase in other charges was the result of an acceleration of a number of these projects, and the associated fees to the consultants and advisors, in order to achieve the cost savings earlier than projected.

Corporate expenses increased to $6.3 million from $5.6 million due to an increase in payroll, offset in part by a reduction in various overhead costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $748.5 million from $600.0 million due to an increase in amortization on acquisition related intangibles and an increase in depreciation of telecommunications and cable television equipment. The 2001 and 2000 expense includes $504.9 million and $357.2 million, respectively, from Cablecom and ConsumerCo (companies that were acquired in 2000), including amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

Interest income and other, net increased to expense of $22.6 million from expense of $6.6 million as a result of increases in the net losses of affiliates accounted for by the equity method. Interest income and other, net includes equity in net losses of affiliates of $38.8 million in 2001 and $14.1 million in 2000.

Interest expense increased to $353.7 million from $280.9 million due to the issuance of additional debt, and the increase in the accretion of original issue discount on the deferred coupon notes. Interest of $358.0 million and $171.8 million was paid in cash in the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Foreign currency transaction (losses) gains were losses of $20.0 million in 2001 and gains of $24.1 million in 2000 primarily due to the effect of changes in exchange rates. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have cash, cash equivalents and debt denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies that are affected by changes in exchange rates. In addition, foreign subsidiaries of the Company whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar hold cash, cash equivalents and debt denominated in U.S. dollars which are affected by changes in exchange rates.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

As a result of the completion of the acquisitions of the cable assets of the Cablecom Group (“Cablecom”) in March 2000 and the consumer cable telephone, Internet and television operations of Cable & Wireless Communications plc (“ConsumerCo”) in May 2000, the Company consolidated the results of operations of these businesses from the dates of acquisition. The results of operations of Cablecom from the date of acquisition to March 31, 2000 were not significant.

Consumer telecommunications and television revenues increased to $1,847.5 million from $1,238.8 million as a result of the Cablecom and ConsumerCo acquisitions, price increases, upselling new services to customers and from growth in the Company’s customer base. The 2001 and 2000 revenue includes $997.7 million and $489.2 million, respectively, from acquired companies. Upselling to existing customers, new digital and cable modem customers and the price increases implemented in the first and second quarters of 2001 resulted in ARPU increases that contributed to the revenue increase. Increase in ARPU in the future is also expected to be achieved by providing new services such as digital television, cable modem and mobile telephone services to consumer customers.

NTL (Delaware), Inc. and Subsidiaries

Business telecommunications revenues increased to $618.5 million from $511.9 million as a result of acquisitions, growth in the Company’s customer base and increases in carrier services revenues. The 2001 and 2000 revenue includes $74.5 million and $36.5 million, respectively, from ConsumerCo. The Company continues to focus specific sales and marketing effort on winning business customers in its franchise areas and increasing revenue from its existing customers. Carrier services revenues increased due to growth in services provided by the Company’s wholesale operation to other telephone companies, including wireless services operators. Revenue growth in carrier services is primarily dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to attract new customers and expand services to existing customers.

Broadcast transmission and other revenues increased to $253.3 million from $237.2 million. The increase reflects increases in the number of broadcast television and FM radio customers and accounts, which exceeded price cap reductions in the Company’s regulated services, and increases in satellite and media services used by broadcast and media customers. The Company expects growth in broadcast services to be driven primarily by contracts related to the increased demand for tower infrastructure by wireless services operators expanding and upgrading their networks for wireless broadband, the privatization of national broadcast networks, the digitalization of analog television and radio signals and the further development of programming for the European markets requiring satellite and terrestrial distribution services.

Operating expenses (including network expenses) increased to $1,325.0 million from $967.8 million as a result of acquisitions and increases in interconnection and programming costs due to revenue growth. The 2001 and 2000 expense includes $495.7 million and $234.8 million, respectively, from Cablecom and ConsumerCo.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $911.4 million from $769.3 million as a result of acquisitions. The 2001 and 2000 expense includes $316.4 million and $167.2 million, respectively, from Cablecom and ConsumerCo. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 33.5% in 2001 from 38.7% in 2000. The percentage decrease reflects cost savings efforts including the restructuring in November 2000.

Other charges increased to $56.5 million from $19.7 million. Other charges include costs incurred primarily to integrate the acquired companies, mostly related to information technology integration, as well as costs incurred for business rationalization consulting. The increase in other charges was the result of an acceleration of a number of these projects, and the associated fees to the consultants and advisors, in order to achieve the cost savings earlier than projected.

Corporate expenses decreased to $23.4 million from $25.7 million due to a reduction in various overhead costs, offset in part by an increase in payroll.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $2,321.2 million from $1,245.5 million due to an increase in amortization on acquisition related intangibles and an increase in depreciation of telecommunications and cable television equipment. The 2001 and 2000 expense includes $1,566.2 million and $513.5 million, respectively, from Cablecom and ConsumerCo, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles.

NTL (Delaware), Inc. and Subsidiaries

Interest income and other, net decreased to expense of $103.6 million from income of $39.5 million as a result of increases in the net losses of affiliates accounted for by the equity method. Interest income and other, net includes equity in net losses of affiliates of $133.7 million in 2001 and $20.1 million in 2000.

Interest expense increased to $1,039.8 million from $729.1 million due to the issuance of additional debt, and the increase in the accretion of original issue discount on the deferred coupon notes. The 2001 and 2000 expense includes $270.2 million and $134.2 million, respectively, in interest expense related to Cablecom and ConsumerCo. Interest of $826.9 million and $395.8 million was paid in cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Foreign currency transaction losses were $10.6 million in 2001 and $90.9 million in 2000 primarily due to the effect of changes in exchange rates. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have cash, cash equivalents and debt denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies that are affected by changes in exchange rates. In addition, foreign subsidiaries of the Company whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar hold cash, cash equivalents and debt denominated in U.S. dollars which are affected by changes in exchange rates.

Other Results of Operations Matters

The Company expects to record a restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2001 of approximately $30.0 million primarily for employee severance and related costs.

NTL (Delaware), Inc. and Subsidiaries

vesting schedule was delayed and/or lengthened. NTL Incorporated is accounting for these options as a variable plan beginning in September 2000. The Company will recognize its share of non-cash compensation expense for the difference between the quoted market price of the common stock and the exercise price of the vested options while the options remain outstanding.

The Compensation Committee has taken the actions described above to continue to provide the appropriate performance incentives to those affected.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company will continue to require significant amounts of capital to finance construction of its local and national networks, for connection of telephone, telecommunications, Internet and cable television customers to the networks, for other capital expenditures and for debt service. The Company estimates that these requirements, net of cash from operations, will aggregate up to approximately £879.0 million ($1,291.3 million) from October 1, 2001 to September 30, 2002. The Company’s commitments at September 30, 2001 for equipment and services are included in the anticipated requirements. The Company had approximately $310.0 million in cash on hand at September 30, 2001. The Company expects to utilize the proceeds from the additional financing in October 2001 and a portion of its bank facilities to fund the balance of these requirements.

In October 2001, the Company completed £169.6 million ($249.2 million) of vendor financing plus £200.0 million ($293.8 million) of GE Capital senior secured financing. The vendor financing was an addition to NTLCL’s £2,500.0 million credit agreement with the same terms and conditions. The Company borrowed £84.8 million ($124.6 million) of the vendor financing in October 2001. The remaining £84.8 million is committed to the Company by the vendors, who will increase their commitment to the bank facility at the Company's request, provided that certain purchase commitments are met. Interest on the GE Capital senior secured financing is payable at least every six months at LIBOR plus a margin rate of 3.5% per annum. The senior secured financing is repayable in eight quarterly installments beginning on June 30, 2006.

On March 30, 2001, NTL Australia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a A$350.0 million ($173.1 million) credit agreement with a group of banks.

As of September 30, 2001, NTL Australia repaid A$200.0 million ($98.9 million) to the Company. Interest is payable at least every six months at the A$ Bank Bill Bid Rate plus a margin of 1.85% per annum, which is subject to adjustment based on the ratio of senior debt to EBITDA of NTL Australia. The unused portion of the commitment is subject to a commitment fee of 0.6%, which is subject to adjustment based on the ratio of senior debt to EBITDA of NTL Australia. Principal is due in four semiannual installments beginning on June 30, 2004 of a maximum of A$7.5 million, A$7.5 million, A$12.5 million and A$12.5 million.

As of September 30, 2001, £100.0 million ($146.9 million) was outstanding under this agreement with an effective interest rate of 10.01%. NTLCL and other members of the U.K. Group may utilize the proceeds under this credit agreement to finance the working capital requirements of the U.K. Group, provided that in no event shall the proceeds be used for a purpose other than to finance the construction, capital expenditure and working capital needs of a cable television or telephone or telecommunications

For purposes of this credit agreement, Diamond Cable Communications Limited and subsidiaries, NTL (Triangle) LLC and subsidiaries and certain other entities are excluded from the U.K. Group. Interest is payable at least every six months at LIBOR plus a margin rate of 4.5% per annum.

Cablecom has the option to draw on a revolving loan facility of up to CHF 1,400.0 million ($864.8 million). The revolving facility is intended to finance operating expenses, working capital and other capital expenditures of Cablecom and subsidiaries and for their general corporate financing requirements. As of September 30, 2001, Cablecom had borrowed CHF 775.0 million ($478.7 million) under the revolving loan facility with an effective interest rate of 5.65%.

Regarding the Company’s estimated cash requirements described above, there can be no assurance that: (a) actual construction costs will not exceed the amounts estimated or that additional funding substantially in excess of the amounts estimated will not be required, (b) conditions precedent to advances under credit facilities will be satisfied when funds are required, (c) the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet capital requirements, debt service and other obligations when required, (d) the Company will be able to access such cash flow or (e) the Company will not incur losses from its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations or be adversely affected by interest rate fluctuations.

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Premium TV Limited, has entered into media partnerships with U.K. football clubs whereby Premium TV Limited will receive certain marketing and sponsorship rights.

At September 30, 2001, the aggregate commitment was £14.3 million ($21.0 million). In addition, Premium TV Limited expects to pay fees of up to £40.0 million ($58.8 million) over five years for the right to enter into a joint venture with the Football League to set-up an Internet portal for all 72 Football League clubs who wish to participate. In June 2001, Premium TV Limited entered into an agreement for rights to broadcast the Premiere Football League on a pay-per-view basis. Premium TV Limited expects to pay fees of approximately £11.2 million ($16.5 million) per year over the next three years in accordance with this agreement.

Management does not anticipate that the Company and its subsidiaries will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay at maturity the entire principal amount of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company may be required to consider a number of measures, including: (a) refinancing all or a portion of such indebtedness, (b) seeking modifications to the terms of such indebtedness, (c) seeking additional debt financing, which may be subject to obtaining necessary lender consents, (d) seeking additional equity financing, or (e) a combination of the foregoing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

The Company’s operations are conducted through its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. As a holding company, the Company holds no significant assets other than cash, securities and its investments in and advances to its subsidiaries. The Company’s ability to make scheduled interest and principal payments when due to holders of its indebtedness may be dependent upon the receipt of sufficient funds from its subsidiaries. In addition, NTL Communications is a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the ability of NTL Communications to make scheduled interest and principal payments when due to holders of its indebtedness may be dependent upon the receipt of sufficient funds from its subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries are subject to restrictions under agreements governing their indebtedness that may prohibit them from providing such funds.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Cash used in operating activities was $529.5 million and $335.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash paid for interest exclusive of amounts capitalized in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $771.5 million and $330.4 million, respectively. The remainder of this change is primarily due to the increase in the net loss and changes in working capital as a result of the timing of receipts and disbursements. A significant component of the working capital change in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was the collection of annual amounts billed by Cablecom in December 2000. The $143.6 million reduction in Cablecom’s accounts receivable since December 31, 2000 was principally due to these collections.

Purchases of fixed assets were $1,568.4 million in 2001 and $1,541.9 million in 2000 as a result of the continuing fixed asset purchases and construction, including purchases and construction by acquired companies.

The cash used for other assets of $141.1 million in 2001 and $508.2 million in 2000 was primarily for investments in and loans to unconsolidated entities.

Proceeds from borrowings, net of financing costs of $2,556.3 million in 2001 include $428.3 million borrowed under the £2,500.0 million NTLCL credit agreement, $431.5 million borrowed under the £1,300.0 million NTLCL credit agreement, $1,150.0 million from the issuance of NTL Communications 6-3/4% Convertible Senior Notes, $277.9 million from the issuance of NTL Communications 12-3/8% Senior Euro Notes, $208.7 million borrowed under the Cablecom revolving facility and $103.8 million borrowed under the NTL Australia credit agreement, net of aggregate financing costs of $43.9 million.

NTL (Delaware), Inc. and Subsidiaries

Principal payments of $485.8 million in 2001 include optional repayments of $454.3 million under the NTLCL credit agreements and Cablecom revolving facility and repayments of an aggregate of $31.5 million of other debt.
