1.   Basis of Presentation

     Diamond Cable Communications Limited (formerly Diamond Cable Communications
     Plc) (the  "Company") is a holding company which holds all of the shares of
     various  companies  which  operate  broadband  communications  networks for
     telephone,  cable  television  and Internet  services in the United Kingdom
     (the "UK"). The Company holds these shares through an intermediate  holding
     company, Diamond Holdings Limited (formerly Diamond Holdings Plc) ("Diamond
     Holdings").

     The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements of
     the  Company  and its  subsidiaries  (the  "Group")  have been  prepared in
     accordance with U.S. generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim
     financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
     of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information
     and footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for
     complete  financial   statements.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   all
     adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
     for a fair presentation  have been included.  Operating results for the six
     and three months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the
     results  that may be expected for the year ending  December  31, 2000.  For
     further  information,  refer to the consolidated  financial  statements and
     footnotes  thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended December 31, 1999.

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments  and Hedging  Activities."  This statement,  which  establishes
     accounting and reporting  standards for derivatives and hedging activities,
     is required to be adopted by the Group effective  January 1, 2001. Upon the
     adoption of SFAS No. 133,  all  derivative  instruments  are required to be
     recognized  in the  statement  of  financial  position as either  assets or
     liabilities  and  measured at fair value.  The  Company is  evaluating  the
     impact  that the  adoption  of SFAS  No.  133  will  have on its  financial
     position and results of operations.

2.   Comprehensive loss

     Comprehensive loss for the six and three-month  periods ended June 30, 2000
     and 1999 was (UK  Pound)  117,404,000,  (UK Pound)  97,699,000,  (UK Pound)
     73,147,000, and (UK Pound) 44,253,000, respectively.

3.   NTL Incorporated Acquisition

     On March 8, 1999,  the share  exchange  was  completed  whereby  all of the
     holders of the  Company's  ordinary and  deferred  shares  exchanged  their
     shares for newly issued  common stock of NTL  Incorporated  ("NTL").  Other
     expenses  of (UK  Pound)8.9  million in 1999  consist of costs  incurred in
     connection  with the  Share  Exchange  Agreement,  including  fees  paid to
     Goldman,  Sachs & Co.  and  Columbia  Management  for  their  role as joint
     financial   advisors  to  the  Company  in  examining   potential  business
     opportunities  and other  strategic  alternatives  leading  up to the share
     exchange.

4.   Joint Purchasing Alliance Agreement

     The Company and NTL entered into a Joint Purchasing Alliance Agreement (the
     "Alliance  Agreement") on March 5, 1999, pursuant to which the Company acts
     as purchasing agent on behalf of a number of subsidiaries of NTL. Under the
     terms of the Alliance  Agreement,  on March 8, 1999, the Company received a
     deposit of (UK Pound)137  million from various  subsidiaries  of NTL. Funds
     held by the  Company  under the  Alliance  Agreement  are  recorded  on the
     balance sheet as Cash and Cash Equivalents and Accounts Payable Deposit.

7.   Related Party Transactions

     Since the  acquisition of the Company by NTL in March 1999, a subsidiary of
     NTL has been providing management,  financial, legal and technical services
     to the Group.  Beginning  in the fourth  quarter of 1999,  this  subsidiary
     began  charging the Group for these  services  using an allocation  formula
     based on  customers.  The Group was charged (UK  Pound)7.6  million and (UK
     Pound)4.4  million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000,  which
     is included in selling,  general and administrative expenses and in the due
     to affiliates  balance.  It is not  practicable  to determine the amount of
     these  expenses that would have been incurred had the Group  operated as an
     unaffiliated  entity.  In the  opinion  of  management  of the  Group,  the
     allocation method is reasonable.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          ---------------------------------------------------------------
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------

Overview
--------

Diamond Cable Communications Limited (formerly Diamond Cable Communications Plc)
(the  "Company")  is a holding  company which holds all of the shares of various
companies which operate broadband  communications networks for telephone,  cable
television and Internet  services in the United Kingdom (the "UK").  The Company
holds these shares through an intermediate  holding  company,  Diamond  Holdings
Limited  (formerly  Diamond  Holdings Plc) ("Diamond  Holdings").  Except as the
context may otherwise require references to the "Group" refer to the Company and
its subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Company issued senior  discount notes in September  1994,  December 1995 and
February 1997  (collectively,  the "Discount Notes").  In February 1998, Diamond
Holdings  issued two new series of notes (the "1998 Notes").  The 1998 Notes are
guaranteed  by the Company as to payment of  principal,  interest  and any other
amounts  due. In  connection  with the  issuance  of the 1998  Notes,  the Group
terminated its existing bank facility.

The further development and construction of the Group's broadband communications
network  will  require  substantial  capital  investment.  The  Group  currently
estimates that the additional capital expenditures and debt service requirements
of the Group,  net of cash from  operations  from July 1, 2000  through June 30,
2001 will be approximately (UK Pound)71.7  million.  These capital  expenditures
could  vary  significantly  depending  on,  among  other  things,  the number of
customers  actually  connected to the network,  the availability of construction
resources,  the impact of  competition  from other  cable or  telecommunications
operators  or  television  delivery  platforms,  and  the  pace  of the  Group's
construction  program.  The Group expects to use the (UK Pound)34.8 million cash
and cash equivalents on hand, which excludes the (UK Pound)32.3  million held on
behalf of affiliates pursuant to the Joint Purchasing  Alliance  Agreement,  and
debt or equity from NTL or its subsidiaries to meet its cash requirements.

To the extent that the amounts  required  for  capital  expenditures  exceed the
estimates,  or the Group's cash flow does not meet  expectations,  the amount of
cash requirements  will increase.  There can be no assurance that debt or equity
financing  will be available to the Group on acceptable  commercial  terms or at
all.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
-----------------------------------------------

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities amounted to (UK Pound)(14.8)
million and (UK  Pound)107.1  million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2000,  net cash (used
in) operating  activities  includes cash used for the Joint Purchasing  Alliance
Agreement  of  (UK  Pound)(18.3)  million  compared  to  cash  provided  of  (UK
Pound)101.7  million  in the  prior  period.  The  remainder  of the  change  is
primarily  due to  changes  in  working  capital  as a result  of the  timing of
receipts and disbursements.  During the six months ended June 30, 2000, non-cash
foreign  exchange losses were (UK Pound)49.4  million  compared to losses of (UK
Pound)36.5  million in the prior period, and accretion on the Discount Notes was
(UK Pound)29.7 million compared to (UK Pound)36.6 million in the prior period.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to (UK Pound)41.5 million and (UK
Pound)57.5   million  for  the  six  months   ended  June  30,  2000  and  1999,
respectively, primarily for continuing fixed asset purchases.

Net cash used in  financing  activities  amounted to (UK  Pound)917,000  and (UK
Pound)1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
for mortgage principal payments and capital lease payments.

Results of Operations for the Six and Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue  for the six and  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000 and 1999 was (UK
Pound)72.9  million,  (UK Pound)55.9  million,  (UK  Pound)37.1  million and (UK
Pound)28.6  million,  respectively,  representing  increases  of (UK  Pound)17.0
million and (UK Pound)8.5  million,  respectively,  from 1999 as compared to the
same periods in 2000. This growth was primarily attributable to increases in the
number of telephone  lines and cable  television  customers,  together  with the
provision  of new  services.  These  trends are  expected  to  continue  for the
foreseeable future.

Operating  costs for the six and three  months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 were
(UK Pound)24.6 million, (UK Pound)19.5 million , (UK Pound)12.2 million, and (UK
Pound)10.0  million,  respectively,  representing  increases  of  (UK  Pound)5.1
million and (UK Pound)2.3  million,  respectively,  from 1999 as compared to the
same  periods  in 2000.  These  increases  were  predominantly  attributable  to
increases in  interconnection  costs and programming costs as a result of growth
in telephone lines and cable television customers.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the six and three months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 were (UK Pound)29.2 million , (UK Pound)21.3 million, (UK
Pound)15.6  million,  and (UK  Pound)10.3  million,  respectively,  representing
increases of (UK Pound)7.9 million and (UK Pound)5.3 million, respectively, from
1999 as compared to the same periods in 2000. Beginning in the fourth quarter of
1999, a subsidiary of NTL began  charging the Group for  management,  financial,
legal and  technical  services it provides to the Group.  These charges were (UK
Pound)7.6  million and (UK  Pound)4.4  million in the six and three months ended
June 30, 2000,  respectively.  After  adjusting  for the NTL  charges,  selling,
general and  administrative  expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased
to  29.6%  and  30.2%  for  the  six and  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000,
respectively, from 38.2% and 36.1% in the comparable periods in 1999.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense for the six and three months ended June
30,  2000 and 1999 was (UK  Pound)37.7  million,  (UK  Pound)27.8  million,  (UK
Pound)18.5  million,  and (UK  Pound)15.2  million,  respectively,  representing
increases of (UK Pound)9.9 million and (UK Pound)3.3 million, respectively, from
1999 as compared to the same periods in 2000. These increases were  attributable
to the  increasing  cost  of the  Group's  network  and the  related  additional
depreciation.

Other expenses of (UK Pound)8.9  million and (UK  Pound)360,000  for the six and
three  months  ended June 30, 1999,  respectively,  relate to costs  incurred in
connection with the Share Exchange  Agreement,  including fees paid to financial
advisors to the Group.

Interest  expense and amortization of debt discount and expenses for the six and
three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was (UK Pound)53.4 million, (UK Pound)
48.0 million, (UK Pound)27.3 million, and (UK Pound)24.5 million,  respectively,
representing  increases  of (UK  Pound)5.4  million and (UK  Pound)2.8  million,
respectively, from 1999 as compared to the same periods in 2000. For the six and
three months ended June 30, 2000, interest expense includes the accretion of the
discount on the  Discount  Notes of (UK  Pound)29.6  million and (UK  Pound)15.3
million,  interest on the 1994 and 1998 Notes of (UK Pound)22.1  million and (UK
Pound)11.2  million,  amortization  of debt  financing  costs  of (UK  Pound)1.3
million and (UK  Pound)700,000  and other interest expense of (UK  Pound)400,000
and (UK Pound)100,000, respectively. For the six and three months ended June 30,
1999,  interest  expense  includes the accretion of the discount on the Discount
Notes of (UK Pound)36.6 million and (UK Pound)18.8 million, interest on the 1998
Notes of (UK Pound)9.9 million and (UK Pound)5.0  million,  amortization of debt
financing  costs  of (UK  Pound)1.2  million  and (UK  Pound)600,000  and  other
interest expense of (UK Pound)300,000 and (UK Pound)100,000, respectively.

A substantial portion of the Group's existing debt obligations is denominated in
U.S.  dollars,  while the Group's revenues and expenses are generated and stated
in UK pounds  sterling.  During the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, the Group recorded net foreign  exchange losses of (UK Pound)47.8  million
(UK  Pound)34.9  million,  (UK Pound)37.6  million and (UK  Pound)14.9  million,
respectively,  primarily  due to the  unrealized  losses on  translation  of its
Discount Notes and 1998 Notes.  Changes in foreign  currency  exchange rates may
affect the Group's  ability to satisfy its  obligations,  including  obligations
under outstanding debt instruments, as they become due.
