2.    Risks and Going Concern Uncertainties

UPC has experienced net losses since formation. As of June 30, 2002, there was substantial uncertainty whether UPC's sources of capital, working capital
and projected operating cash flow would be sufficient to fund the Company's expenditures and service the Company's indebtedness over the next year. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt regarding
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, as a result of the events of default described below, UPC's senior notes, senior discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan and the UPC
Distribution Bank Facility have been classified as current liabilities. UPC's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on (i) UPC's ability to restructure its senior notes and senior
discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan and convertible preferred stock and (ii) UPC's ability to generate the cash flows required to enable it to recover the Company's assets and satisfy the
Company's liabilities, in the normal course of business, at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements. The report of the Company's previous independent accountant, Arthur Andersen,
on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, includes a paragraph that states that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
a net capital deficiency that raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

---



The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, which have been driven by continuing development efforts, including
the introduction of new services such as digital video, telephony and internet. Additionally, substantial capital expenditures have been required to deploy these services and to acquire businesses.
Management expects the Company to incur operating losses at least through 2005, primarily as a result of the continued introduction of these new services, which are in the early stages of deployment,
as well as continued depreciation expense. During 2001, the Company reviewed its current and long-range plan for all segments of its business and the Company engaged a strategic consultant
to assist the Company in the process. The Company worked extensively with this consultant to revise the Company's strategic and operating plans. The Company has revised its strategic vision, no longer
focusing on an aggressive digital roll-out, but on increasing sales of products and services that have better gross margins and profitability. The revised business plan focuses on average
revenue per subscriber and margin improvement, increased penetration of new service products within existing upgraded homes, efficient deployment of capital and focus on products with positive net
present values.

Viewing
the Company's funding requirements and the Company's possible lack of access to debt and equity capital in the near term, UPC determined that it would not make interest payments
on UPC's senior notes and senior discount notes, as they fell due. On February 1, 2002, UPC failed to make required interest payments in the aggregate amount of EUR 113.0 million
(USD 100.6 million) on UPC's outstanding 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and 111/2% Senior Notes due 2010. The indentures
related to UPC's senior notes and senior discount notes provide that failing to make interest payments constitutes an "Event of Default" under the notes if UPC is in default of the payment of interest
on any of the notes for a period of time in excess of 30 days. Since UPC failed to make the interest payments on the first three series of notes upon expiration of this 30-day grace
period on March 3, 2002, Events of Default occurred under the related indentures. The occurrence of these Events of Default constituted cross Events of Default under the indentures related to
the remaining series of senior notes and senior discount notes. The occurrence of the various Events of Default gives the trustees under the related indentures, or requisite number of holders of such
notes, the right to accelerate the maturity of all of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes and to foreclose on the collateral securing the loan. In addition, on May 1, 2002 and
August 1, 2002, UPC failed to make required interest payments in the aggregate amount of EUR 38.9 million and EUR 123.5 million respectively, on UPC's outstanding
107/8% Senior Notes due 2007 and 111/4% Senior Notes due 2009, 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and
111/2% Senior Notes due 2010, As of August 14, 2002, neither the trustees for the defaulted notes nor the requisite number of holders of those notes have accelerated the payment
of principal and interest under those notes.

UPC's
failure to make the February 1, 2002, May 1, 2002 and August 1, 2002 interest payments on its senior notes and senior discount notes, and the resulting Events
of Default under the indentures relating to those notes, gave rise to cross events of default under the following credit and loan facilities:

On
July 30, 2002, UPC transferred 22.3% of the UPC Germany shares to the holders of the minority interest in UPC Germany (See Note 15). Due to the share transfer, UPC
became the minority shareholders of UPC Germany. The EWT facility was refinanced by the new majority shareholders and the cross default ceased to exist.

The
UPC Distribution Bank Facility is secured by share pledges to the banks on UPC Distribution Holding B.V., which is the holding company of most companies within the UPC Distribution
group, and over certain operating companies within this group. The EWT Facility was secured by share pledges of EWT to RBS. The Exchangeable Loan is secured by pledges over the stock of Belmarken, its
wholly owned subsidiary UPC Holding B.V. and UPC Internet Holding B.V., which ownschello broadband N.V.. The Exchangeable Loan is continued to be held
by United as of August 14, 2002.The occurrence of the cross events of default under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility and the Exchangeable Loan
give the creditors under those facilities the right to accelerate the maturity of the loans and to foreclose upon the collateral securing the loans.

On
March 4, 2002, UPC received the first waivers from the lenders under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility, the EWT Facility and the Exchangeable Loan for the cross events of
defaults under such facilities that existed or may exist as a result of the Company's failure to make the interest payment
due on February 1, 2002 on the Company's outstanding 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and, 111/2% Senior Notes due 2010
within the applicable cure periods, or any resulting cross defaults. During the period from June 4, 2002 to July 28, 2002, UPC received bi-weekly waivers from the bank lenders and
United. On July 29, 2002, the bank lenders and United extended the coverage of the waivers to our outstanding 107/8% senior notes due 2007, 111/4% senior notes due
2009 and the resulting cross defaults and the duration of the waivers until September 12, 2002. The other terms of the waivers remain unchanged from those announced on March 4, 2002.

Each
of these waivers will therefore remain effective until the earlier of



In
addition, each of these waivers contains certain other conditions and undertakings and will terminate if there is a default by UPC of the terms of that waiver. The waiver under the
UPC Distribution Bank Facility subjects UPC to a EUR 100 million drawdown limitation under that facility, during the period in which the waiver is in place. Availability under the limitation is
subject to certain conditions.

As
of August 14, 2002, UPC had not made the interest payments on the 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2010,
111/2% Senior Notes due 2010, 107/8% Senior Notes due 2007 and the 111/4% Senior Notes due 2009. None of the defaults described above have had a material
adverse effect on the operations of UPC's subsidiaries or their or UPC's relationships with customers, suppliers and employees.

On
February 1, 2002, UPC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with United and UGC Holdings (the "Memorandum of Understanding"). The Memorandum of Understanding is a
non-binding agreement in principle with United and UGC Holdings to enter into negotiations with the holders of
the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes to attempt to reach agreement on a means to restructure the Company's indebtedness at the holding company level.

During
the month of March 2002, UPC met with representatives of United, which currently holds the Exchangeable Loan and a significant portion of the Company's senior notes and
senior discount notes, and an ad hoc noteholder' committee representing the holders of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes (other than United) to begin preliminary discussions with
respect to a process for, and terms of, a restructuring of those notes and the Exchangeable Loan. United and its advisors and the ad hoc noteholders committee and its advisors completed the due
diligence about UPC and the Company's current financial condition.

On
July 24, 2002, United announced that it and the ad hoc noteholders' committee representing holders of UPC's senior notes and senior discount notes agreed in principle on a
recapitalization plan for UPC. The agreed recapitalization will substantially delever UPC's balance sheet eliminating approximately 4.3 billion accreted value of senior notes and senior
discount notes, 925.1 million Exchangeable Loan, and 1.6 billion of convertible preference shares in exchange for equity issued by a new holding company of UPC ("New UPC"). The
agreement, which is subject to documentation among United, UPC and the ad-hoc committee of noteholders and certain other approvals and conditions, consists primarily of the following key
terms:



UPC
expects that this process will take a number of months to complete. If completed, the restructuring will result in substantial dilution of UPC's existing shareholders, a loss of some
or all of the value of the Company's outstanding securities, including the Company's ordinary shares, preference shares, senior notes and senior discount notes.

If
United, UPC and the noteholders are unable to conclude documentation for the debt restructuring agreed in principle or if UPC is otherwise unable to successfully complete an agreed
upon

restructuring plan for the Company's debt, UPC may seek relief under (i) a debt moratorium, leading to a suspension of payments and in case no other agreement can be made,
(ii) bankruptcy proceeding under applicable laws. If UPC seeks relief under either of these proceedings, or any other laws that may be available to the Company, holders of the Company's
outstanding securities, including the Company's ordinary shares, preference shares and senior notes and senior discount notes, as well as the Exchangeable Loan, may lose some or all of the value of
their investment in the Company's securities. Such proceedings could result in material changes in the nature of UPC's business, material adverse changes to UPC's financial conditions and results of
operations or the Company's liquidation.

3.    Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2002. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

New Accounting Principles

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142") effective
January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever indicators of
impairment arise. In addition, goodwill on equity method investments is no longer amortized, but tested for impairment in accordance with APB 18. The goodwill impairment test, which is based on fair
value, is performed on a reporting unit level. All recognized intangible assets that are deemed not to have an indefinite life are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The
Company has engaged an external party to compare the fair value of its reporting units with their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting
unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill
impairment test will be performed
to measure the amount of impairment loss. The first step of the goodwill impairment test was performed and the carrying value of certain reporting units exceeded the fair value, including the
Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Czech, France, Slovak, Poland andPriority Telecom. The Company is currently carrying out the second step of the test to
quantify how much of the total goodwill will be impaired. A substantial cumulative effect adjustment will be required as a result of this process. The determination of the potential impairment
adjustment will be completed by the end of the year. As of June 30, 2002, net goodwill of approximately 2.9 billion is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In
April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145, which updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements, addresses the
reporting of debt extinguishments and accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of
SFAS 145 are generally effective for the Company's 2003 fiscal year, or in the case of specific provisions, for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002 or financial statements issued
on or after May 15, 2002. For certain provisions, including the rescission of Statement No. 4, early application is encouraged. UPC has not adopted SFAS 145 and is currently
evaluating the impact of SFAS 145 on

the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 145 will have a material impact on the Company's net loss, financial position or cash
flows.

On
June 28, 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board voted in favor of issuing SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146").
SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities
that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") has set forth in the EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". The scope of SFAS 146 also includes (1) costs related to
terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and (2) termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit
arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 2002. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 146 on its results of operations and financial position.

4.    Impairment and Restructuring Charges

During 2001, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to both lower operating expenses and strengthen its competitive and financial position, by eliminating
certain employee positions, reducing office space and related overhead expenses, recognizing losses related to excess capacity under certain contracts and cancellation of certain programming
contracts. The Company also incurred certain restructuring charges during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2002 related to employee severance and termination costs.

Employee severance and termination costs.These costs relate to termination salaries, benefits, outplacement and other
related costs to the employees involuntarily terminated. The total workforce reduction was effected through a combination of involuntary terminations and reorganizing operations to permanently
eliminate open positions resulting from normal employee attrition. These costs were determined in accordance with the criteria of EITF 94-3. Salaries and benefits earned during the
transition period have not been included in the restructuring charge.

Office closures.In addition to the decrease in employee positions, the restructuring plan provided for reduction in office
space and related overhead expenses. Office closure and consolidation costs are the estimated costs to close specifically identified facilities, costs associated with obtaining subleases, lease-
termination costs and other related costs.

Programming and lease contract termination costs.These costs relate to costs associated with the impairment, cancellation or
recognition of costs associated with excess capacity of certain contracts.

All
non-Euro denominated borrowings are recorded each period using the period end spot rate with the result being recorded as foreign exchange gain or loss. As discussed in
Note 2 "Risks and Going Concern Uncertainties", since of March 3, 2002, the Company has been in default under its senior notes and senior discount notes and has had short term waivers
with respect to the UPC Distribution Bank Facility, the Exchangeable Loan and the EWT Facility. Accordingly, these borrowings have been reclassified to current portion of long-term debt.
On July 30, 2002, UPC transferred 22.3% of the UPC Germany shares to the holders of a minority interest in UPC Germany. Due to the share transfer, the EWT facility was refinanced by the new
majority shareholder and the cross default ceased to exist.

Exchangeable Loan

The Exchangeable Loan was transferred to United on January 30, 2002, as part of a transaction between Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty"), the original
holder of the Exchangeable Loan, and United. United may exchange the notes issued under the Exchangeable Loan for UPC's ordinary shares at USD 6.85 per share under certain circumstances before or
after May 29, 2002.

UPC Distribution Bank Facility

As indicated in Note 2, the Company is in default under the terms of this facility as a result of the missed interest payments during the first quarter of
2002. The Company had obtained waivers of the default from the bank syndicate, which expired on June 3, 2002, which was extended on the same terms thereafter, currently until
September 12, 2002. During the period of waiver, the Company is permitted to borrow another 100 million under the facility, subject to certain conditions. UPC has not made any drawdown
of the permitted 100 million as of August 14, 2002.

Derivative Instruments

In connection with certain borrowings, the Company has entered into both cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps providing economic hedges to both currency
and interest rate exposure.

Of
the above derivative instruments, only the 1.725 billion interest rate swap on the UPC Distribution Bank Facility qualifies as an accounting cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the
changes in fair value of this instrument are recorded through other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' deficit. The remaining instruments are
marked-to-market each period with the corresponding fair value gain (loss) recorded as a part of foreign exchange gain (loss) and other income (expense) in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded a loss of 2.9 million and 57.0 million, respectively, and for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded a loss of 180.7 million and a gain of 25.6 million, respectively, in connection with the mark-to-market valuations.

In
June 2002, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of 347.2 million from the delivery by certain banks of 404.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior
notes and senior discount notes as settlement of the interest rate/cross currency derivative contracts on UPC's July 1999 Senior Notes, UPC's October 1999 Senior Notes and the UPC January 2000 Senior
Notes.

The
condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect these instruments as derivative assets or liabilities as appropriate.

9.    Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

UPC has terminated for cause an agreement for the supply of various types of equipment in an aggregate amount of 34.6 million. UPC intends to source such
equipment from alternative suppliers.

Purchase Options

At June 30, 2002, UPC had effective ownership of 51% of EWT/TSS Group through its 51% owned subsidiary UPC Germany. Under the shareholders agreement among
UPC and the 49% shareholders of UPC Germany, the shareholders had an option to put their interest in UPC Germany to UPC in exchange for approximately 10.6 million of UPC's ordinary shares A, as
adjusted for final settlement. The option would expire March 31, 2003. UPC had the option to pay for the put, if exercised, in either its 10.6 million shares or the equivalent value of
cash on such date. If the option was not exercised, upon its expiration, the 49% shareholder had the right to demand that UPC contribute cash and/or other assets (including stock) to UPC Germany equal
to approximately 358.8 million, representing the remainder of UPC's contribution obligation to UPC Germany. Pursuant to the agreement by which UPC acquired EWT/TSS Group, UPC was required to
fulfill a so-called contribution obligation by no later than March 2003, by contribution of certain assets amounting to approximately 358.8 million. The 49% shareholder of
UPC Germany could call for 22% of the ownership interest in certain circumstances such as a material default by UPC under its financing agreements, in exchange for the Euro equivalent of 1 Deutsche
Mark. On March 5, 2002, UPC received notice of the holders' notice of exercise of the call. On July 30, 2002, UPC settled the exercise. From that date, the Company's interest in UPC
Germany has been reduced to 28.7% and the Company will no longer consolidate UPC Germany. In addition, the delivery of the shares extinguished the contribution obligation. At the same time the EWT
facility was refinanced by the new majority shareholder, and UPC was released from its liability under this facility.

For
details on revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and total assets of UPC Germany as of June 30, 2002, see Note 10 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Litigation and Claims

The following is a description of certain legal proceedings to which UPC or one of UPC's subsidiaries is a party. In addition, from time to time, UPC may become
involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of the Company's business. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of these
legal proceedings would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on UPC's subsidiaries' business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

On
July 4, 2001, InterComm Holdings LLC, InterComm France CVOHA ("ICF I"), InterComm France II CVOHA ("ICF II"), and Reflex Participations ("Reflex," collectively with ICF I and
ICF II, the "ICF Party") served a demand for arbitration on UPC, UGC Holdings, and its subsidiaries, Belmarken Holding B.V. and UPC France Holding B.V.. The claimants allege breaches of obligations
allegedly owed by UPC in connection with the ICF Party's position as a minority shareholder in Médiaréseaux S.A. The claimants seek relief in the nature of immediate
acceleration of an alleged right to require UPC or an affiliate to purchase all or any of the remaining shares in Médiareséaux S.A. from the ICF Party and/or compensatory
damages, but in either case no less than EUR 163 million, plus reasonable fees and costs. The ICF Party has not specified from which entity it is seeking such relief; however, UGC Holdings is
not a party to any agreement with the claimants and has been

dismissed from the proceedings. UPC and its affiliates, as respondents, deny these claims and intend to defend against claimants' allegations vigorously. UPC is vigorously defending the arbitration
proceedings and has filed appropriate counter claims.

10.  Segment and Geographic Information

The Company is managed internally as three primary divisions, UPC Distribution, UPC Media andPriority Telecom. In
addition, Corporate, IT and Other is a separate reporting segment. UPC Distribution focuses on providing cable television, DTH, internet and telephony services to residential customers and is
comprised of the local operating systems.chello broadbandserves as the internet access provider and was, in February 2001, combined with the
programming businesses led by UPCtv under one management team as UPC Media.Priority Telecomis focused on providing services to business customers.
Corporate, IT and Other relates primarily to centralized activities, which support multiple platforms and services.

The
Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the results of these divisions. The key operating performance criteria used in this evaluation include revenue growth
and "Adjusted EBITDA". Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure. Adjusted EBITDA represents net operating earnings before depreciation, amortization,
stock-based compensation charges including retention bonuses, and impairment and restructuring charges. Adjusted
EBITDA is one of the primary measures used by the Company's chief operating decision makers to measure the Company's operating results and to measure segment profitability and performance. Management
believes that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors because it provides an analysis of operating results using the same measures used by the Company's chief operating decision makers, that
Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with the means to evaluate the financial results of the Company compared to other companies within the same industry and that it is common practice for institutional
investors and investment bankers to use various multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of estimating current or prospective enterprise value. The Company's calculation of
Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to GAAP income as
a measure of performance, or to cash flows from operating investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain
assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash and cash stock-based compensation charges, which result from
variable plan accounting for certain of the Company's and its subsidiaries' stock option and phantom stock option plans.

11.  Extraordinary Gain

The extraordinary gain of 471.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, in part relates to restructuring and cancellation of costs
associated with excess capacity of certainPriority Telecom N.V. vendor contracts of 124.5 million recognized during the first three months of
2002 and an extraordinary gain of 347.2 million associated with the unwinding of certain swap agreements, recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2002.

On
February 1, 2002, UPC amended certain swap agreements with a bank effective as of January 31, 2002. The swap agreements were entered into in connection with the issuance
of some of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes. The swap agreements were subject to early termination upon the occurrence of certain events, including the defaults described above.
The amendment provided that the bank's obligations to the Company under the swap agreements were substantially fixed and the agreements were to be unwound on or prior to July 30, 2002. In
settlement of the bank's obligations to the Company, the bank was to deliver to the Company approximately 400 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior notes and senior
discount notes held by that bank, subject to adjustment in case of certain circumstances, and subject to movements in the EUR/USD exchange rate. On June 28, 2002, the bank delivered to the
Company 353.2 million, in aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes held by that bank in settlement of the bank's obligation.

On
June 11, 2002, UPC unwound certain swap agreements with a bank. The swap agreements were entered into in connection with the issuance of some of the Company's senior notes and
senior discount notes. The swap agreements were subject to a potential event of default as a result of UPC's
non-payment of interest on the senior notes, during which time the bank was not obliged to make payments to the Company under the swap agreement. In settlement of the bank's obligations to
the

Company, the bank delivered approximately 51.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes held by that bank.

On
delivery of the senior notes and senior discount notes described in the two transactions above, UPC's indebtedness was reduced by 404.6 million and the Company recognized an
extraordinary gain of 347.2 million on the cross currency swaps. In addition, the Company reduced its accrued interest expense associated with these notes.

14.  Related Party Transactions

Related Party Debt

On January 30, 2002, United, UGC Holding's parent company, acquired approximately USD 1,435 million and 263 million principal amount at
maturity of UPC's outstanding senior notes and senior discount notes as well as the USD 856.8 billion Exchangeable Loan. As of June 30, 2002, these notes

27

---

and the Exchangeable Loan are classified as 2,429.6 million related party debt and the interest expense on these notes and the Exchangeable Loan are classified as interest expense related
party.

Loans to Employees

Since 1996, UPC loaned certain employees of the Company amounts for the exercise of the employees' stock options, taxes on options exercised, or both. These
recourse loans bear interest at 5.0% per annum. The receivables of 4.2 million from employees outstanding as of December 31, 2001 were fully reserved as of December 31, 2001 and have
subsequently been waived as of May 28, 2002.

15.  Subsequent Events

Bankruptcy filing Tara

Our wholly owned, indirect subsidiary Bicatobe Investments B.V., holds an 80% shareholding in the Irish company Tara Television Ltd. ("Tara"), a broadcast
channel which supplies Irish programming to the viewing market in its territory of exclusivity, the United Kingdom. Tara received approximately eighty percent of its television content from the Irish
public broadcaster Radio Tlefis Eireann ("RTE") pursuant to a programming agreement entered into in October 1997, at rates significantly higher than current market rates for the type of
programming received. Tara suspended payment under the programming agreement and attempted to renegotiate the rates paid, but was not successful. Tara filed for protection from its creditors under
Irish law on March 1, 2002. The Court appointed an independent interim examiner ("Interim Examiner") and, after unsuccessfully attempting to come to an agreement with RTE, the Interim Examiner
recommended and the Court elected to place Tara into liquidation. The date expected for the liquidation to be finalized by the Irish Court is the second quarter of 2003.

Germany

Until July 30, 2002 UPC had effective ownership of 51% of EWT/TSS Group through its 51% owned subsidiary, UPC Germany. Pursuant to the agreement by which
UPC acquired EWT/TSS Group, UPC was required to fulfill a so-called contribution obligation by no later than March 2003, by contribution of certain assets amounting to approximately
358.8 million. If UPC failed to make the contribution by such date or in certain circumstances such as a material default by UPC under its financing agreements, the 49% owner in UPC Germany
could call for 22% of the ownership interest in exchange for the Euro equivalent of 1 Deutsche Mark. On March 5, 2002, UPC received notice of the holders' notice of exercise. On July 30,
2002, UPC settled the exercise. UPC completed the transfer of 22.3% of UPC Germany to the 49% shareholders in return for the cancellation of the 358.8 million face value asset contribution
obligation due from UPC to UPC Germany. UPC now owns 28.7% of UPC Germany, with the former 49% shareholders owning the remaining 71.3%. UPC Germany will be governed by a newly agreed shareholders'
agreement and will be deconsolidated by UPC effective August 1, 2002. This transaction may result in a gain, in the third quarter of 2002. The delivery of shares extinguished the contribution
obligation.

Recapitalization

On July 24, 2002, United announced that it and an ad hoc noteholder's committee representing holders of UPC's senior notes and senior discount notes agreed
in principle on a recapitalization plan for UPC.
The agreed recapitalization will substantially delever UPC's balance sheet eliminating approximately 4.3 billion accreted value of senior notes and senior discount notes, 925.1 million
of the

28

---

Exchangeable Loan, and 1.6 billion of convertible preference shares in exchange for equity issued by a new holding company of UPC ("New UPC"). The agreement, which is subject to documentation
among United, UPC and the ad-hoc committee of noteholders and certain other approvals and conditions, consists primarily of the following key terms:



UPC
expects that this process will take a number of months to complete. If completed, the restructuring will result in substantial dilution of UPC's existing shareholders, a loss of some
or all of the value of the Company's outstanding securities, including the Company's ordinary shares, preference shares, senior notes and senior discount notes.

If
United, UPC and the noteholders are unable to conclude documentation for the debt restructuring agreed in principle or if UPC is otherwise unable to successfully complete an agreed
upon restructuring plan for the Company's debt, UPC may seek relief under (i) a debt moratorium, leading to a suspension of payments and in case no other agreement can be made,
(ii) bankruptcy proceeding under applicable laws. If UPC seeks relief under either of these proceedings, or any other laws that may be available to the Company, holders of the Company's
outstanding securities, including the Company's ordinary shares, preference shares and senior notes and senior discount notes, as well as the Exchangeable Loan, may lose some or all of the value of
their investment in the Company's securities. Such
proceedings could result in material changes in the nature of UPC's business, material adverse changes to UPC's financial conditions and results of operations or the Company's liquidation.

The
documentation in relation to the agreed debt restructuring will be subject to approval of the Company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These
forward-looking statements may include, and be identified by statements concerning our future plans and strategies, objectives and future economic prospects, expectations, beliefs, anticipated events
or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts, such as our contemplated restructuring. These forward-looking statements involve both known and unanticipated risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from what we say or imply with the forward-looking
statements. These factors include, among other things, changes in television viewing preferences and habits by our subscribers and potential subscribers, their acceptance of new technology,
programming alternatives and new video services we may offer. They also include the timing, cost, and effectiveness of technological developments, competitive factors, our ability to complete
announced transactions and to manage and grow our newer telephone, digital and internet/data services. With respect to our announced restructuring, these factors include the parties' ability to
conclude documentation for the debt restructuring agreed in principle as well as to satisfy the conditions to the restructuring and our ability to negotiate the terms of this proposed restructuring
with other stakeholders, including banks. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the time of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and we have no obligation or plans to
provide updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements or any other changes in events or circumstances on which these forward-looking statements are based.

The
report of our former independent accountants, Arthur Andersen, on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, includes a paragraph that states
that we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our management's plans in
regard to these matters are described in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q-Note 2. Our
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities
that might result, should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Investors in our company should review carefully the report of Arthur Andersen. There can be no assurance we will be able to
continue as a going concern.

The
following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations covers the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and should be read
together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. These consolidated financial statements provide additional information regarding our financial
activities and condition.

All
monetary amounts in Management's Discussion and Analysis are stated in Euros, unless indicated otherwise.

Recent Developments

We have experienced net losses since formation. As of June 30, 2002, there was substantial uncertainty whether our sources of capital, working capital and
projected operating cash flow would be sufficient to fund our expenditures and service our indebtedness over the next year. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as
a going concern. In addition, as a result of the events of default described above, our senior notes, senior discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan and the UPC Distribution Bank Facility have been
classified as current liabilities. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on (i) our ability to restructure our senior notes and senior discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan
and the convertible preferred stock and (ii) our ability to generate the cash flows required to enable us to recover our assets and satisfy our liabilities, in the normal course of business, at
the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements. The report of the Company's

30

---

previous independent accountant, Arthur Andersen, on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, includes a paragraph that states that the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Events of Default under Credit Facilities

Viewing our funding requirements and our possible lack of access to debt and equity capital in the near term, we determined that we would not make interest
payments on our senior notes and senior discount notes, as they fell due. On February 1, 2002, we failed to make required interest payments in the aggregate amount of EUR 113.0 million
(USD 100.6 million) on our outstanding 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and 111/2% Senior Notes due 2010. The indentures
related to our senior notes and senior discount notes provide that failing to make interest payments constitutes an "Event of Default" under the notes if we are in default of the payment of interest
on any of the notes for a period of time in excess of 30 days. Since we failed to make the interest payments on the first three series of notes upon expiration of this 30-day grace
period on March 3, 2002, Events of Default occurred under the related indentures. The occurrence of these Events of Default constituted cross Events of Default under the indentures related to
the remaining series of senior notes and senior discount notes. The occurrence of the various Events of Default gives the trustees under the related indentures, or requisite number of holders of such
notes, the right to accelerate the maturity of all of our senior notes and senior discount notes and to foreclose on the collateral securing the loan. In addition, on May 1, 2002 and
August 1, 2002, we failed to make required interest payments in the aggregate amount of EUR 38.9 million and EUR 123.5 million respectively, on our outstanding
107/8% Senior Notes due 2007 and 111/4% Senior Notes due 2009, 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and
111/2% Senior Notes due 2010. As of August 14, 2002, neither the trustees for the
defaulted notes nor the requisite number of holders of those notes have accelerated the payment of principal and interest under those notes.

Our
failure to make the February 1, 2002, May 1, 2002 and August 1, 2002, interest payments on our senior and senior discount notes and the resulting Events of
Default under the indentures relating to those notes, gave rise to cross events of default under the following credit and loan facilities:



On
July 30, 2002, we transferred 22.3% of the UPC Germany shares to the holders of the minority interest in UPC Germany (See Note 15). Due to the share transfer, we became
the minority shareholders of UPC Germany. The EWT facility was refinanced by the new majority shareholders and the cross default ceased to exist.

The
UPC Distribution Bank Facility is secured by share pledges to the banks on UPC Distribution Holding B.V., which is the holding company of most companies within the UPC Distribution
group, and over certain operating companies within this group. The EWT Facility was secured by share pledges of EWT to RBS. The Exchangeable Loan is secured by pledges over the stock of Belmarken, its
wholly owned subsidiary UPC Holding B.V. and UPC Internet Holding B.V., which ownschello broadband N.V.

31

---

The Exchangeable Loan is continued to be held by United as of August 14, 2002.The occurrence of the cross events of default under the UPC
Distribution Bank Facility and the Exchangeable Loan give the creditors under those facilities the right to accelerate the maturity of the loans and to foreclose upon the collateral securing the
loans.

On
March 4, 2002, as more fully described in the Form 8-K we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on that date, we received the first waivers from
the lenders under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility, the EWT Facility and the Exchangeable Loan for the cross events of defaults under such
facilities that existed or may exist as a result of our failure to make the interest payment due on February 1, 2002, on our outstanding 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009,
111/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and 111/2% Senior Notes due 2010, within the applicable cure periods, or any resulting cross defaults. During the period from June 4,
2002 to July 28, 2002, we received bi-weekly waivers from the banklenders and United. On July 29, 2002, the bank lenders and United extended the coverage of the waivers to our
outstanding 107/8% Senior Notes due 2007, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2009 and resulting cross defaults and the duration of the waivers until September 12, 2002. The
other terms of the waivers remain unchanged from those announced on March 4, 2002.

Each
of these waivers will remain effective until the earlier of



In
addition, each of these waivers contains certain other conditions and undertakings and will terminate if there is a default by us of the terms of that waiver. The waiver under the UPC
Distribution Bank Facility subjects us to a 100 million drawdown limitation under that facility, subject to certain conditions, during the period in which the waiver is in place. Availability
under the limitation is subject to certain conditions.

As
of August 14, 2002, we had not made the interest payments on the 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2010, 111/2%
Senior Notes due 2010, 107/8% Senior Notes due 2007, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2009, as more fully described in the Form 8-K's, which we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2002 and May 1, 2002. None of the defaults described above have had a material adverse effect on the operations of our subsidiaries or
their or our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees.

Agreement in Principal for Restructuring

On February 1, 2002, as more fully described in the Form 8-K we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on that date, we
signed a Memorandum of Understanding with United and UGC Holdings. The Memorandum of Understanding describes a non-binding agreement in principle with United and UGC Holdings to enter into
negotiations with the holders of our senior notes and senior discount notes to attempt to reach agreement on a means to restructure our indebtedness at the holding company level.

During
the month of March 2002, we met with representatives of United, which currently holds the Exchangeable Loan and a significant portion of our senior notes and senior
discount notes, and an

32

---

ad hoc noteholders' committee representing the holders of our senior notes and senior discount notes (other than United) to begin preliminary discussions with respect to a process for, and terms of,
a restructuring of those notes and the Exchangeable Loan. United and its advisors and the ad hoc noteholders' committee and its advisors completed the due diligence about us and our current financial
condition.

On
July 24, 2002, United announced that it and the ad hoc noteholders' committee representing holders of our senior notes and senior discount notes agreed in principle on a
recapitalization plan for us. The agreed recapitalization will substantially delever our balance sheet eliminating approximately 4.3 billion accreted value of senior notes and senior discount
notes, 925.1 million Exchangeable Loan, and 1.6 billion of convertible preference shares in exchange for equity issued by a new holding company of us ("New UPC"). The agreement, which is
subject to documentation among United, us and the ad-hoc committee of noteholders and certain other approvals and conditions, consists primarily of the following key terms:



We
expect that this process will take a number of months to complete. If completed, the restructuring will result in substantial dilution of our existing shareholders, a loss of some or
all of the value of our outstanding securities, including our ordinary shares, preference shares, senior notes and senior discount notes.

If
United, we and the noteholders are unable to conclude documentation for the debt restructuring agreed in principle or if we are otherwise unable to successfully complete an agreed
upon restructuring plan for our debt, we may seek relief under (i) a debt moratorium, leading to a suspension of payments and in case no other agreement can be made, (ii) bankruptcy
proceeding under applicable laws. If we seek relief under either of these proceedings, or any other laws that may be available to us, holders of our outstanding securities, including our ordinary
shares, preference shares and senior notes and senior discount notes, as well as the Exchangeable Loan, may lose some or all of the value of their investment in our securities. Such proceedings could
result in material changes in the nature of our business, material adverse changes to our financial conditions and results of operations or our liquidation.

Nasdaq listing

On January 2, 2002, ADRs representing our stock was trading below the USD 3.00 minimum bid price on the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq"). On
February 14, 2002, we were informed, through a notification from Nasdaq, that we would be delisted on May 15, 2002, if the stock did not trade for 10 consecutive trading days above USD
3.00 during a 90 day period, beginning February 15, 2002. On May 23, 2002, our ADRs were, as expected, delisted from the Nasdaq and our shares now trade on the

Description of Business

We own and operate broadband communications networks in 12 countries in Europe. Our operations are organized into three principal divisions. UPC Distribution,
which delivers video, internet and telephone services to residential customers (the "Triple Play"). UPC Media, which comprises our convergingchello
broadbandinternet business and our content and programming businesses, led by UPCtv. UPC Media's operations also include certain of our interactive digital products. Priority
Telecom,which operates our CLEC business and provides telephone and data network solutions to the business market. ThePriority
Telecombrand is also used to offer telephone services to residential customers through UPC Distribution.

Our
subscriber base is one of the largest of any group of broadband communications networks operated across Europe. Our goal is to enhance our position as a leading
pan-European distributor of video programming services and to become a leading pan-European provider of telephone, internet and enhanced video services, offering a
one-stop shopping solution for residential and business communication needs. We plan to execute on this goal by increasing the penetration of our new services, such as digital video,
telephone and internet, primarily within our existing customer base.

Since
formation, we have developed largely through acquisitions and organic growth in new services, which have resulted in significant growth in our consolidated revenues and
expenditures.

During
2001, we reviewed our current and long-range plan for all segments of our business and we hired a strategic consultant to assist us in the process. We worked
extensively with this consultant to revise our strategic and operating plans. Our strategic vision has changed our focus from an aggressive digital roll-out to increasing the volume of our
sales of products and services that have better gross margins and profitability. The revised business plan focuses on average revenue per subscriber and margin improvement, increased penetration of
new service products within existing upgraded homes, efficient deployment of capital and focus on products with positive net present values.

Telecom,the

0.4 million decrease in the revenue of UPC Media and 2.0 million decrease in the revenue of Corporate, IT and Other.

UPC Distribution.For the three months ended June 30, 2002, revenue from UPC Distribution
increased 22.6 million to 337.0 million, from 314.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a 7.2% increase. Increases of 41.8 million from Triple Play
were partially offset by a 16.9 million decrease in DTH and 1.1 million decrease in Other. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, revenue from UPC Distribution increased
53.6 million to 663.8 million, from 610.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a 8.8% increase. Increases of 91.5 million from Triple Play were partially
offset by a 31.4 million decrease in DTH and a 5.0 million decrease in Other.

Of
the 41.8 million increase in Triple Play revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002, 8.5 million is from cable television and digital, 9.7 million
from telephone, and 23.6 million from internet. Of the 91.5 million increase in Triple Play revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002, 21.7 million is from cable
television and digital, 21.2 million from telephone, and 48.5 million from internet. The increase of Triple Play revenue is a combination of an increase in RGUs through organic growth,
as well as an increase in average revenue per subscriber ("ARPU"). At June 30, 2002, Triple Play revenue generating units ("RGUs") were 8,379,200, which represents an increase of 295,900 from
June 30, 2001 when Triple Play RGUs were 8,083,300.

The
16.9 million and 31.4 million decreases in DTH revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, are attributable to the fact that our
Polish DTH business, was as of December 7, 2001 contributed to Telewizyjna Korporacja Partycypacyjna S.A. ("TKP"), a newly formed, non consolidated, joint venture with Canal+, in which we have
a 25% investment.

UPC
Distribution no longer has any programming revenue due to the closure of the sports channels in the Central European region as of December 2001.

Other
revenue is primarily revenue recognized for the provision of network related services toPriority Telecom.UPC Distribution has
entered into agreements withPriority Telecomfor the provision by UPC Distribution of network, maintenance and operations services. This intercompany
revenue is eliminated in our consolidated results.

Priority Telecom.Priority Telecomrevenue decreased
40.1 million from 71.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 30.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.Priority
Telecomrevenue decreased 66.9 million from 129.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 63.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The
decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the closure of the international wholesale voice and data business and, to a lesser extent, the closure of operations in non-core countries.

UPC Media.UPC Media revenue decreased 2.5 million from 20.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 to 17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. UPC Media revenue decreased 0.4 million from 36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 36.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in UPC Media's revenue is attributable to the revision of thechello broadbandaffiliate agreement, which reduced UPC Media's revenue share from 40% of internet access in 2001 to 20% in 2002 as the result of the transfer of the chello technology organization to UPC Distribution
in December 2001. In addition, revenue decreased due to the closure of under performing thematic channels. These decreases in revenue were largely offset by an increase in revenue achieved through
improved ARPU, stable subscriber growth and an increase in UPCtv revenue, which was positively impacted by the growth in UPC Distribution's cable television and digital subscribers.

Corporate, IT and Other.The decrease in Corporate, IT and Other revenue of 1.2 million and 2.0
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, relates to the loss of

management fees from Tevel, which filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2002. In addition we did not record any management fees from our Melita operating company, in accordance with the
recapitalization agreement reached in the second quarter of 2002.

Intercompany eliminations.Intercompany eliminations decreased by 22.6 million from 49.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 26.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Intercompany eliminations decreased by 30.0 million from 88.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 58.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The intercompany elimination
of 26.8 million and 58.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 respectively, relates to inter-divisional revenue that is received by Priority Telecom, UPC Media, and UPC
Distribution.

Priority Telecomreceived 3.0 million and 9.2 million switch and other revenue from UPC Distribution, for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002, respectively, forPriority Telecom's services relating to UPC Distribution's residential customers. UPC Media received 14.1
million and 27.9 million from UPC Distribution, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, for providing affiliated local operators with high speed internet connectivity,
caching, local language broadband portals and marketing support fee. The services and fees charged under the franchise agreements have changed in 2002 so that among other things, chello broadband's
revenue fee per subscriber have been reduced, resulting in lower intercompany revenue in 2002. UPC Media receives further revenue for
the provision of programming services to UPC Distribution. UPC Distribution received 9.7 million and 21.0 million in revenue fromPriority Telecomprimarily for the provision of network related services, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

10.6 million is from Programming and 1.3 million is from Other. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 Adjusted EBITDA increased 127.7 million to 183.2 million from 55.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. Of the 127.7 million increase, 90.8 million is from Triple Play, 8.6 million is from DTH, 22.8 million is from Programming and 5.6 million is from Other. The
improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for both the six months and three months ended June 30, 2002 are the result of; increased operational efficiencies achieved by cost control, improvements in
processes and systems and organizational rationalization, improved gross margins brought about by continued negotiations with major vendors; and the improvements in gross profit brought about by
successfully driving higher service penetration in existing customer base and continuing to achieve increased ARPU.

Priority Telecom.For the three months ended June 30, 2002 Adjusted EBITDA improved 24.8
million to negative 1.5 million, from negative 26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 Adjusted EBITDA improved 41.3 million to
negative 6.1 million, from negative 47.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Adjusted EBITDA has improved due to the termination of non-profitable business lines (the international
wholesale voice and data business) and ceasing operations in non-profitable countries. In addition, strong cost control procedures have been put into place to reduce operating expenses.

UPC Media.For the three months ended June 30, 2002 Adjusted EBITDA improved 33.5 million to
negative 0.1 million, from negative 33.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 Adjusted EBITDA improved 63.5 million to negative 5.7 million,
from negative 69.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Improved Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects the continued focus on profitable revenue growth and cost reduction with the Media
division and the transfer of the operating expenses associated with the provision of broadband internet access services to UPC Distribution in December 2001.

Corporate, IT and Other.For the three months ended June 30, 2002 Adjusted EBITDA improved 4.8
million to negative 26.2 million, from negative 31.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 Adjusted EBITDA improved 5.0 million to
negative 49.0 million, from negative 54.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Adjusted EBITDA for Corporate, IT and Other includes costs for our corporate functions, development
costs relating to our digital set-top computer, the research of new technologies and development of our integrated pan-European IT platform. As with the other divisions in the group, continued
corporate cost control is improving Adjusted EBITDA.

The
Company's consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reconciles to the consolidated statements of operations as follows:

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include direct costs and costs relating to network operations, customer operations, customer care, billing and collecting, broadcasting,
technology, programming, content and franchise fees.

For
the three months ended June 30, 2002 our consolidated operating expenses decreased 55.8 million to 192.7 million, from 248.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2001. The 55.8 million decrease consists of a 38.7 million decrease in direct costs and 17.1 million decrease in other operating expenses. Of the
38.7 million decrease in direct costs, 21.4 million is attributable to the decrease in programming
costs, 21.8 million to the decrease in business telephony costs and 5.7 million to the decrease in internet costs. These decreases were partially offset by a 9.9 million increase
in residential telephony, television and other direct costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 our consolidated operating expenses decreased 123.1 million to 380.7 million,
from 503.8 million for the six

39

---

months ended June 30, 2001. The 123.1 million decrease in operating expenses consists of a 90.9 million decrease in direct costs and 32.3 million decrease in other
operating expenses. Of the 90.9 million decrease in direct costs, 46.7 million is attributable to the decrease in programming costs, 41.9 million to the decrease in business
telephony costs and 14.6 million to the decrease in internet costs. These decreases were partially offset by a 12.3 million increase in residential telephony, television and other direct
costs. For the three months and six months ended June 2002 the decrease in programming costs is primarily attributable to the deconsolidation of Poland DTH and the closure of the sport channels
in the central European region, as of December 2001. The decrease in business telephony costs is primarily attributable to the closure of the international wholesale voice and data business and
the decrease in internet direct costs reflects a reallocation from direct costs to operating expenses, which is a result of the transfer of the internet access business from chello broadbandto UPC
Distribution.

The
17.1 million and 32.3 million decrease in other operating expenses for the three and six month period ended June 2002 is primarily attributable to decrease in
network and customer operations, programming and content costs, and is the result of numerous initiatives targeted to improve operational efficiencies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs relating to human resources, IT, general services, management, finance, and customer acquisition costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include stock-based compensation.

For
the three months ended June 30, 2002 our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 48.2 million to 105.8 million, from
154.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the six month period ended June 30, 2002 our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
77.9 million to 216.1 million, from 294.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects tighter cost
controls.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the three months ended June 30, 2002, our depreciation and amortization expense decreased 88.1 million to 172.3 million, from
260.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a 33.8% decrease. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, our depreciation and amortization expense decreased
160.6 million to 344.9 million, from 505.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a
31.8% decrease. This was mainly due to the fact that, in accordance with the adoption of SFAS 142, we ceased amortizing goodwill, effective January 1, 2002.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, interest expense decreased 22.2 million to
224.9 million, from 247.1 million, a 9.0% decrease. The decrease is mainly associated with the unwinding of certain swap agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001, interest expense decreased 10.2 million to 455.1 million, from 465.3 million, a 2.2% decrease. Of the interest expense for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, 64.7 million and 123.1 million, respectively, is classified as Interest Expense Related Party due to United's acquisition of a
portion of our senior notes and senior discount notes and the Exchangeable Loan in the first quarter of 2002. We continue to accrue for the interest on the senior notes and senior discount notes.

In
the first quarter of 2002, we commenced discussions with holders of our senior notes and senior discount notes, as well as with United, our parent, as holder of the Exchangeable Loan
and such notes, aimed at reaching an agreement on restructuring of such indebtedness, including the reduction or elimination of such indebtedness. If a satisfactory restructuring is agreed upon, it
could result in a substantial reduction in our cash and non-cash interest expenses in 2003 and thereafter. If we are unable to restructure our indebtedness, it is likely that our cash and
non-cash interest expense will increase in 2003 and thereafter as a result of accretion in value of our senior discount notes and the interest on potential additional draw downs on the UPC
Distribution Bank Facility.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss) and Other Income (Expense)

The net gain from foreign exchange gain (loss) and other income (expense) increased 483.2 million from a loss of 104.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 to a gain of 587.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The net gain from foreign exchange gain (loss) and other income (expense) increased
527.0 million from a loss of 182.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to a gain of 344.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The gain is
mainly a result of an increase in foreign exchange result on the dollar denominated debt as the Euro strengthened against the U.S. dollar. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2002, we recorded in other income and expense a loss of 2.9 million and 180.7 million, respectively, in connection with mark-to-market valuations.

Share in Results of Affiliated Companies, Net

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, our share in net losses of affiliated companies increased 2.4 million to 18.4 million, from
16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a 15.3% increase, as the losses in our affiliates increased. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our share in net losses
of affiliated companies decreased 22.4 million to 39.7 million, from 62.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a 36.0% decrease. The decrease for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, relates to the
implementation of SFAS 142, as we did not record amortization of excess basis on our equity investments and we did not recorded any losses on Tevel as we have completely written off their
assets.

---

Extraordinary Gain

The extraordinary gain of 471.7 million for the six months period ended June 30, 2002, in part relates to the restructuring and cancellation of
costs associated with excess capacity of certainPriority Telecom N.V.vendor contracts of 124.5 million recognized during the first three months
of 2002 and an extraordinary gain of 347.2 million associated with the unwinding of certain swap agreements, recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2002. In a separate
transaction on February 1, 2002, we amended certain swap agreements with a bank effective as of January 31, 2002. We entered into swap agreements in connection with the issuance of some
of our senior notes and senior discount notes. The swap agreements were subject to early termination upon the occurrence of certain events, including the defaults described above. The amendment
provided that the bank's obligations to us under the swap agreements were substantially fixed and the agreements were to be unwound on or prior to July 30, 2002. In settlement of the bank's
obligations to us, the bank was to deliver to us approximately 400 million, in aggregate principal amount of our senior notes and senior discount notes held by that bank, subject to adjustment
in case of certain circumstances, and subject to movements in the EUR/USD exchange rate. On June 28, 2002, the bank delivered to us 353.2 million, in aggregate principal amount of our
senior notes and senior discount notes held by that bank in settlement of the bank's obligation.

On
June 11, 2002, we unwound certain swap agreements with a bank. The swap agreements were entered into in connection with the issuance of some of our senior notes and senior
discount notes. The swap agreements were subject to a potential event of default as a result of our non-payment of interest on the senior notes, during which time the bank was not obliged
to make payments to us under the swap agreement. In settlement of the bank's obligations to us, the bank delivered approximately 51.4 million in aggregate principal amount of our senior notes
and senior discount notes held by that bank.

On
delivery of the senior notes and senior discount notes described in the two transactions above, our indebtedness was reduced by 404.6 million and we recognized an extraordinary
gain of 347.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2002 on the cross currency swaps. In addition, we reduced our accrued interest expense, associated with these notes.

Cumulative effect of Change in Accounting Principle

Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in
hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001, resulted in a cumulative increase to income of
21.3 million and a cumulative increase to Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") of 36.7 million. The increase to income was attributable to a loss of approximately 36.7 million
reclassified from OCI for the value of certain warrants held by the Company, which are derivatives and are not designated as a hedging instrument, and income of approximately 58.0 million
related to gains associated with the cross currency swaps which are held by the Company, which do not qualify as hedging instruments as defined by SFAS 133. We use derivative instruments to
manage exposures to foreign currency and interest rate risks.

New Accounting Principles

We adopted SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,effective January 1, 2002. Under
SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever indicators of impairment arise. In
addition, goodwill on equity method investments is no longer amortized, but tested for impairment in accordance with

42

---

APB 18. The goodwill impairment test, which is based on fair value, is performed on a reporting unit level. All recognized intangible assets that are deemed not to have an indefinite life are
amortized over their estimated useful lives. We finalized the process of comparing the fair value of our reporting units with their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. This process
enabled us to identify any potential goodwill impairment from the adoption of SFAS 142. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is
considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test will be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.
It is possible that a substantial cumulative effect adjustment may be required as a result of this process. As of June 30, 2002, net goodwill of approximately 2.9 billion is included in
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In
April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145, which updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements, addresses the
reporting of debt extinguishments and accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of
SFAS 145 are generally effective for our 2003 fiscal year, or in the case of specific provisions, for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002 or financial statements issued on or after
May 15, 2002. For certain provisions, including the rescission of Statement No. 4, early application is encouraged. We have not adopted SFAS 145 and are currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS 145 on our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 145 will have a material impact on our net loss, financial position or cash
flows.

On
June 28, 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board voted in favor of issuing SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146").
SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities
that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") has set forth in the EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". The scope of SFAS 146 also includes (1) costs related to
terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and (2) termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit
arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 2002. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 146 on its results of operations and financial position.

Statements of Cash Flows

We had cash and cash equivalents of 382.8 million as of June 30, 2002, a decrease of 472.2 million from 855.0 million as of
December 31, 2001.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, net cash flow used in operating activities was 246.3 million compared to a use of 569.7 million
for the comparable period in 2001. This decrease of cash used for operating activities was mainly related to a decrease in cash invested in current assets and of cash used for operating expenses, and
a decrease in cash used in selling, general and administrative expense.

The
interest payments due on our outstanding 107/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2010, 111/2% Senior Notes due 2010,
107/8% Senior Notes due 2007, 111/4% Senior Notes due 2009

were not paid. Our failure to make the interest payments on these notes did not affect our operating cashflow as it was offset by an increase in current liabilities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We used 200.8 million of net cash flow in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 452.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily related to a decrease in capital expenditure.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We had 33.9 million of cash outflows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 523.6 million of cash
inflows during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease related to the fact that we did not have substantial net proceeds from long- and short-term borrowings,
whereas we had 300.0 million cash inflows from the Distribution Bank Facility, 1.0 billion cash inflow from the Exchangeable Loan, offset by 750.0 million cash outflow from the
UPC Bridge Facility in the first six months of 2001.

Consolidated Capital Expenditures

Since 1995, we have been upgrading our existing cable television system infrastructure and constructing our new-build infrastructure with
two-way high capacity technology to support digital video, telephone and internet/data services. Capital expenditures for the upgrade and new-build construction can be reduced
at our discretion, although such reductions require lead-time in order to complete work-in-progress and can result in higher total costs of construction. At the end
of 2001, we completed a strategic review of the business, which has resulted in a reduced capital expenditure programme for 2002, as we focus on increasing penetration of new services in our existing
upgraded operating area and efficient deployment of capital on a limited basis, aimed at causing product deployment to result in positive net present values.

In
addition to the network infrastructure and related equipment and capital resources described above, development of our newer businesses,chello broadband,
Priority Telecom,our digital distribution platform and DTH, including expansion into Central Europe, requires capital expenditures for construction and development of our
pan-European distribution and programming facilities, including our origination facility, network operating center, and related support systems, IT and equipment.

For
the year 2002, we plan a significant reduction in capital expenditures. Customer premise equipment ("CPE") costs in 2002 are expected to decrease based on current negotiated prices,
which are continuing to decrease further as market rates for such equipment continue to fall aided by centrally led contract negotiations. In addition, tighter field controls have been implemented
leading to higher rates of CPE retrieval.

Network
and upgrade capital expenditure will also see a significant reduction as we plan to limit additional network investment primarily to that needed to cover maintenance and costs
necessary to support expansion of services with our existing network being expected to largely cope with the anticipated increase in traffic. In addition, we plan to limit new build expenditures
primarily to that in areas where essential franchise commitments require investment and to limit additional upgrade investment until such a time that existing upgraded areas are fully serviced.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our operations and acquisitions primarily from:



44

---







In
general, we have been primarily dependent on the capital markets in the past to fund acquisitions, developing systems and products and corporate overhead, using the cash contributed
by United Europe, Inc. upon formation and debt and equity raised at the UPC Corporate level for such purposes. However, going forward we may not be able to access the capital markets as a
source of capital. Our current plans do not anticipate such access, although we might access such markets if we are able.

In
addition, we have financed our well-established systems and, when possible, our developing systems, with debt at the subsidiary levels and with operating cash flow.
Well-established systems generally have stable positive cash flows that are used to partially offset funding necessary for new product offerings, including telephone and internet/data.
Developing systems are at various stages of construction and development and generally depend on us for some of the funding for their operating needs until alternative financing can be secured.

In
2002 and thereafter, we anticipate that the sources of capital possibly available to us will include working capital and operating cash flows, proceeds from the disposal of
non-core investments, and further internal reorganization and alignment of businesses, draw downs under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility and vendor financing. We do not anticipate access
to the capital markets as a source of funding unless we are able to restructure our existing indebtedness. If we are able to complete our planned debt restructuring satisfactorily and are able to
implement a rationalization of our non-core investments and improve our operating performance, we believe that our existing cash balance, our working capital and operating cash flow and
draw downs available under the UPC Distribution Bank
Facility, will be sufficient to fund operations for the foreseeable future. However, during the period in which the waivers are in place in relation to the cross events of default under our UPC
Distribution Bank Facility we have a draw down limitation of 100 million under this facility. Drawings under the limitation are subject to certain conditions. Should the planned debt
restructuring, further internal reorganization and alignment of businesses and the investment rationalization program be unsuccessful, or should operating results fall behind our current business
plan, there is uncertainty whether we will have sufficient funds to meet our expenditure or debt commitments and as such not be able to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity Requirements

As a result of our failure to pay interest when due on our senior notes, the maturity of those notes, our senior discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan and the UPC
Distribution Facility may be accelerated at any time, subject, in the case of the Exchangeable Loan and the UPC Distribution Facility to conditional waivers granted by the holders of such
indebtedness. Consequently, all such indebtedness, as well as the EWT Facility has been classified as current portion of long-term debt.

The table below shows the maturity dates of our future obligations, based on the classification of our defaulted indebtedness as current portion of long-term debt.

Contractual Obligations

|                                   |  | Payments due by Period
|---------------------------------- |  | ----------------------
|
|
|Short term debt                    |  | 90,862                
|Long term debt                     |  | 8,371,928             
|Operating Leases                   |  | 25,352                
|Unconditional Purchase Obligations |  | 61,909                
|Other Long term Obligations        |  | 26,997                
|                                   |  |                       
|Total Contractual Cash             |  | 8,577,048             
|                                   |  |                       

Even
if the indebtedness described above were not defaulted and were classified as short- or long-term indebtedness in accordance with the contractual terms of the
indebtedness, we would have substantial liquidity requirements in 2002 and thereafter. For example, cash payable in 2002 under the existing contractual terms of our senior notes, senior discount
notes, the Exchangeable Loan, UPC Distribution Bank Facility and other short- and long-term debt amounts to approximately 550.0 million. In addition, principal payments scheduled in
2002 under the existing contract terms for such debt amount to approximately 145.6 million.

Our
non-restricted cash and cash equivalents were 382.8 million at June 30, 2002. Our ability to draw on available cash under borrowing facilities may be
limited because of existing defaults. Because of our future cash obligations, our anticipated cash flows and our belief that we will not be able to access the capital markets in the short term, we
have commenced discussions aimed at restructuring our outstanding indebtedness, including our senior notes, senior discount notes and the Exchangeable Loan.

Restrictions under our July 1999, October 1999 and January 2000 Indentures

Our activities are restricted by the covenants of our indentures dated July 30, 1999, October 29, 1999 and January 20, 2000, under which our
senior notes and senior discount notes were issued. Among other things, our indentures place certain limitations on our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to borrow money, pay dividends or
repurchase stock, make investments, create certain liens, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies.

Amsterdam ExchangeNegative Equity

As of June 30, 2002 we had negative shareholders' equity. This does not affect the fundamentals of our business and is a function of significant capital
investment with correspondingly high depreciation and amortization charges, typical of the telecommunications industry. Upon occurrence of the event, we promptly reported this deficit to the Euronext.
As expected, the Euronext stock exchange has put our shares on the so called "penalty bench" until such time as we return to positive shareholders' equity. In addition, on February 14, 2002,
Euronext removed our shares from the AEX index after a three-month notice period. This has not, however, resulted in a delisting of our shares, which are still freely tradeable. We believe that the
status of our shares on Euronext will not have an impact on our business operations, although we believe it will have a negative effect on our stock price and could adversely affect our ability to
raise equity in the future.

By
letter of February 15, 2002, Euronext confirmed that once a company has been referred to the penalty bench it is Euronext's consistent policy not to lift the measure until such
time as a financial restructuring of a company has been completed resulting in the shareholders' equity of such a company meeting at least the level required in order to be listed on the Euronext, and
other Euronext requirements according to its rules are satisfied. Euronext confirmed that we would need to satisfy the following in order for the penalty bench measure imposed on us to be lifted:



In
accordance with article 108A, book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, we have addressed the issue of negative equity at our Annual General Shareholders' meeting on June 20,
2002.

Nasdaq National Market Listing Requirements

Our ordinary shares were traded in the form of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") on the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "UPCOY." Nasdaq has
traditionally maintained certain rules regarding bid prices for continued listing on the market.

On
January 2, 2002, our stock was trading below the USD 3.00 minimum bid price required to maturation a Nasdaq National Market Listing and has not traded above USD 3.00 to date.
On February 14, 2002, we were informed, through a notification from Nasdaq, that we would be delisted on May 15, 2002, if the stock did not trade for 10 consecutive trading days above
USD 3.00 during a 90 day period, beginning February 15, 2002. On May 23, 2002 our ADRs were, as expected delisted from Nasdaq, Our shares now trade on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board ("OTC BB") in the United States since May 24, 2002. We do not expect the delisting to affect the normal course of business for UPC's operating companies. We will be eligible to
relist on the Nasdaq if we complete our balance sheet restructuring and are in compliance with Nasdaq rules.

Sources of Capital

We had approximately 382.8 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of June 30, 2002. In addition, we had additional borrowing capacity at
the holding company and subsidiary level, although our ability to access such capacity may be restricted or eliminated as a result of defaults arising in the first quarter of 2002, as discussed in
Item 2 "Recent Developments". To date, our principal sources of capital have been debt and equity capital raised at our corporate level and debt securities and bank debt issued or borrowed by
subsidiaries. We do not expect to access these sources of capital in 2002 and thereafter, except for the permitted borrowing of 100 million under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility, unless we
are able to restructure our existing indebtedness.

As
of June 30, 2002, the amount outstanding under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility has not increased as compared to amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2001. As of
June 30, 2002, 3.1 billion is outstanding under this Facility.

In
May 2001, we completed the placement of the Exchangeable Loan, receiving proceeds of USD 856.8 million (1.0 billion). The holder of the Exchangeable Loan has the
right to exchange the loan, which was borrowed by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Belmarken, into our ordinary shares under certain circumstances at USD 6.85 per share. The Exchangeable Loan was
transferred to United on January 30, 2002, as a part of a transaction between Liberty, the original holder of the Exchangeable Loan, and United. We may exchange the loan for our ordinary shares
at USD 6.85 per share subject to certain conditions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Investment Portfolio

As of June 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately 382.8 million. We have invested this cash in highly liquid instruments, which
meet high credit quality standards with original maturities at the date of purchase of less than three months. These investments will be subject to interest rate risk and foreign exchange fluctuations
(with respect to amounts invested in currencies outside the European Monetary Union) however, we do not expect any material losses with respect to our investment portfolio.

Inflation and Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Losses

To date, we have not been impacted materially by inflation.

The
value of our monetary assets and liabilities is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as accounts payable for certain equipment purchases and certain operating
expenses, such as DTH and programming expenses, are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity making such payments. We and some of our operating companies have notes
payable and notes receivable that are denominated in, and loans payable that are linked to, a currency other than their own functional currency, exposing us to foreign currency exchange risks on these
monetary assets and liabilities. Historically, we have not hedged our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate operating risks. Accordingly, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on
earnings and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In connection with our offerings of senior notes in July 1999,
October 1999 and January 2000 we entered into cross-currency swap agreements, exchanging U.S. dollar denominated obligations for Euro denominated obligations. These swap agreements were
unwound as of June 30, 2002.

The
functional currency for our operations generally is the applicable local currency for each operating company. We have consolidated operations in countries outside of the European
Monetary Union including Norway, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovak Republic and Czech Republic, and operations, which report in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are
translated at the exchange rates in effect at period-end, and the statements of operations are translated at the
average exchange rates during the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into Euros result in unrealized gains or losses referred to as translation
adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currencies are recorded based
on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized, based on
period-end translations, or realized upon settlement of the transactions.

Cash
flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated based on their reporting currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the
consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign
currencies are reported as a separate line below cash flows from financing activities.

Impact of Foreign Currency Rate Changes

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to our monetary assets and liabilities, including those of our operating subsidiaries, which are
denominated in currencies outside of the European Monetary Union, notably the EUR/USD risk arising from our U.S. dollar denominated liabilities. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations also
arises from intercompany charges.

48

We
are risk adverse towards foreign currency risk and therefore actively seek to manage our foreign currency risk by entering into hedge instruments where appropriate and available to us
in the financial markets. We use cross currency swaps, currency deposits and forward contracts to hedge the exposure. We actively monitor the various financial instruments available to us and expect
to shift the use of instruments to less credit capacity intensive instruments in the near future, driven by the current credit risk appetite in the financial markets. We have consistently managed our
foreign currency risk through the use of these instruments.

For
descriptions of our senior notes, senior discount notes and the Exchangeable Loan, the UPC Distribution Bank Facility we refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for
the year December 31, 2001 included in our Form 10-K, Note 9 of our audited consolidated financial statements. The interest rates of the notes are included in the
interest rate sensitivity tables to which we refer.

The
tables below provide information about us and our consolidated subsidiaries' foreign currency exchange risk for cash and debt which is denominated in foreign currencies outside of
the European Monetary Union as of June 30, 2002, including cash flows based on the expected repayment date and
related weighted-average interest rates for debt. The information is presented in Euro equivalents, which is our reporting currency. The instruments' actual cash flows are denominated in U.S. dollars.

In
connection with our offering of senior notes in July 1999, October 1999 and January 2000, as well as the UPC Distribution Bank Facility, we entered into
cross-currency and interest rate swap agreements, exchanging U.S. dollar-denominated obligations for Euro denominated obligations. The cross-currency
and interest rate swap agreements on the July 1999, October 1999 and January 2000 senior notes were unwound as of June 30, 2002.

On
February 1, 2002, we amended certain swap agreements with one of our banks. The swap agreements were entered into in connection with the issuance of certain of our notes. The
swap

49

---

agreements were subject to early termination upon the occurrence of certain events. The amendment provided that the bank's obligations to us under the swap agreements were substantially fixed and the
agreements were to be unwound on or prior to July 30, 2002. In settlement of the bank's obligations to us, the bank will deliver to us approximately 400 million in aggregate principle
amount of our senior notes described above held by that bank, subject to adjustment in the case of certain circumstances, and subject to movements in EUR/USD exchange rate. On June 28, 2002, we
received senior notes and senior discount notes with an aggregate amount of 404.6 million. Accordingly, we recognized an extraordinary gain of 347.2 million.

On
June 11, 2002, we unwound certain swap agreements with a bank. The swap agreements were entered into in connection with the issuance of some of our senior notes and senior
discount notes. The swap agreements were subject to a potential event of default as a result of our non-payment of interest on the senior notes, during which time the bank was not obliged
to make payments to us under the swap agreement. In settlement of the bank's obligations to us, the bank delivered approximately 51.4 million in aggregate principal amount of our senior notes
and senior discount notes held by that bank.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We actively seek to manage our exposure to interest rates and use various financial instruments like interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and fixed and
floating rate credit instruments, when available to us and appropriate. While part of our fixed rate bonds have been swapped back to floating rate by way of swaps, we aim at fixing a minimum 50% of
the interest rates on our bank debt to average tenors with a minimum tenor of one year. We actively monitor the various financial instruments available to us and expect to shift the use of instruments
to less credit capacity intensive instruments in the near future, driven by the current credit risk appetite in the financial markets. We have consistently managed, were possible, our interest rate
exposure through the use of these instruments.

For
descriptions of our senior notes, senior discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan, the UPC Distribution Bank Facility and other debt we refer to our audited consolidated financial
statements for the year December 31, 2001 included in our Form 10-K Note 9.

The
table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2002, including cash flows based on the
expected repayment dates and the
related weighted-average interest rates. The information is presented in Euro equivalents, which is our reporting currency.

Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments from time to time to manage interest rate risk on our floating-rate debt facilities and reduce our exposure to foreign
currency exchange rate risk. In connection with certain borrowings, we have entered into both cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps, providing economic hedges to both currency and interest rate
exposure.

The
following table details the fair value of the derivate instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2002 by related borrowing:

Of
the above derivative instruments, only the 1.725 billion contract on the UPC Distribution Bank Facility qualifies as an accounting cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the changes in
fair value of this instrument are recorded through other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' deficit. The remaining instruments are marked to market each period with
the

---

corresponding fair value gain or loss recorded as a part of foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair values consider all
rights and obligations of the respective instruments, including the set-off provisions described below. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we recorded a loss of
2.9 million and 57.0 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we recorded a loss of 180.7 million and a gain of 25.6 million,
respectively, in connection with the mark-to-market valuations.

Certain
derivative instruments include set-off provisions that provide for early termination upon the occurrence of certain events, including an event of default. In an event
of default, any amount payable to one party by the other party, will, at the option of the non-defaulting party, be set off against any matured obligation owed by the
non-defaulting party to such defaulting party. If we are the defaulting
party and the counterparty to the swap holds bonds of us, these bonds may be used to settle the obligation of the counterparty to us. In such an event of settlement, we would recognize an
extraordinary gain upon the delivery of the bonds. The amount of bonds that must be delivered is based on the principal (i.e. face) amount of the bonds held and not the fair value, which may be
substantially less. In June 2002, we recognized an extraordinary gain of 347.2 million from the delivery by certain banks of 404.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our
senior notes and senior discount notes as settlement of the interest rate/cross currency derivative contracts on our July 1999 Senior Notes, our October 1999 Senior Notes and the our
January 2000 Senior Notes.

The
condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect these instruments as derivative assets or liabilities as appropriate.

Residential Revenue Generating Units

The operating data set forth below reflect the aggregate statistics of the operating systems in which the Company has an ownership interest. Revenue Generating
Units ("RGUs") are the sum of basic cable, digital, residential internet, residential telephone and DTH subscribers. For example, if a residential
customer in our Austrian system subscribed to our basic cable service, digital video service, telephone service and internet services, the customer would constitute four RGUs.
