Item  2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On August 10, 2001, United Pan-Europe Communications N.V. ("UPC"), the
parent company of UPC Polska, Inc. (the "Company"), and Canal+ Group ("Canal+"),
the television and film division of Vivendi Universal S.A., announced the
signing of definitive agreements to merge their respective Polish direct-to-home
("DTH") satellite television platforms, as well as the Canal+ Polska premium
channel, to form a common Polish DTH platform. The transactions contemplated by
such agreements were consummated on December 7, 2001. As part of the
transactions, the Company, through its affiliate Polska Telewizja Cyfrowa TV Sp.
z o.o. ("PTC"), contributed its Polish and United Kingdom DTH assets to
Telewizyjna Korporacja Partycypacyjna S.A. ("TKP"), the Polish subsidiary of
Canal+, and agreed to fund 30.0 million euros (approximately $27.7 million) in
the form of a shareholder loan to TKP. The Company received 150.0 million euros
(approximately $138.8 million) in cash and PTC will receive a 25% ownership
interest in TKP upon completion of certain Polish legal formalities in
connection with the issuance of new TKP shares. Upon the completion of the
formalities mentioned above, TKP will be managed and controlled by Canal+, which
will directly or indirectly own 75% of TKP, and PTC will own the remaining 25%.
Through a contractual arrangement, the Canal+ Polska premium channel will be
available on the Company's cable network.

Item 5.  Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

         On November 23, 2001, an affiliate of East Services S.A. initiated an
ex parte legal action in the Polish court against the Company, claiming moneys
owed pursuant to an investment services agreement dated December 2, 1997, as
amended on September 16, 1998. In connection with such claim, the Polish court
entered an injunction on December 3, 2001, which was served on a Polish
affiliate of the Company on December 4, 2001. On December 7, 2001, the parties
settled their dispute, with the Company paying $4.15 million as directed by the
claimants and the claimants releasing the Company from any liability whatsoever
relating thereto and delivering applications to the Polish court to have the
injunction lifted.
