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 nine
     and three months ended September 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  does not  anticipate
     that the  adoption  of SFAS No. 133 will have a  significant  effect on its
     financial position or results of operations.

     Comprehensive  (loss)  income for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000
     and  1999   was  (UK   Pound)(182,889,000)   and  (UK   Pound)(97,561,000),
     respectively.  Comprehensive  (loss)  income  for the  three  months  ended

     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)137.0 million from various  subsidiaries of NTL. Funds

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)19.1  million and (UK
     Pound)11.6  million for the nine and three months ended September 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.

                        QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

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 October 1, 2000 through September
30,  2001  will  be  approximately   (UK  Pound)72.0   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)25.1
million cash and cash  equivalents  on hand,  which  excludes the (UK Pound)24.7
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)(14.3)
million and (UK Pound)99.8  million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999,  respectively.  During the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  net
cash (used in) operating  activities includes cash used for the Joint Purchasing
Alliance Agreement of (UK Pound)(25.8)  million compared to cash provided of (UK
Pound)92.3 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 nine months ended September 30, 2000, non-cash foreign
exchange losses were (UK Pound)70.4  million compared to losses of (UK Pound)7.1
million  in the  prior  period,  and  accretion  on the  Discount  Notes was (UK
Pound)46.0 million compared to (UK Pound)55.9 million in the prior period.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to (UK Pound)58.3 million and (UK
Pound)82.2  million  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,
respectively, primarily for continuing fixed asset purchases.

Net cash used in financing  activities amounted to (UK Pound)2.0 million and (UK
Pound)2.0  million  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and  1999,
respectively, for mortgage principal payments and capital lease payments.

Results of Operations for the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and 1999
--------

Revenue for the nine and three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999 was (UK
Pound)110.5  million,  (UK Pound)86.0  million,  (UK Pound)37.6  million and (UK
Pound)30.1  million,  respectively,  representing  increases  of (UK  Pound)24.5
million and (UK Pound)7.5  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.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2000,  certain costs previously  classified as
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were  re-classified as operating
costs in order to be consistent with the other NTL companies. The Company is not
currently able to reclassify prior years in the same manner.  In the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000,  this  movement  resulted in an increase in operating
costs  of  (UK  Pound)8.0  million  and  a  decrease  in  selling,  general  and
administrative expenses of (UK Pound)8.0 million.

Operating  costs for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
were (UK Pound)45.0 million, (UK Pound)30.2 million, (UK Pound)20.4 million, and
(UK Pound)10.7 million,  respectively,  representing increases of (UK Pound)14.8
million and (UK Pound)9.7  million,  respectively,  from 1999 as compared to the
same periods in 2000.  These  increases were  predominantly  attributable to the
reclassification  of costs described above, and the remaining increase is due 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 nine and three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 were (UK Pound)45.0 million, (UK Pound)31.4 million,
(UK Pound)15.8 million, and (UK Pound)10.1 million,  respectively,  representing
increases of (UK  Pound)13.6  million and (UK Pound)5.8  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)19.1  million and (UK  Pound)11.6  million in the nine and three
months ended  September  30, 2000,  respectively.  After  adjusting  for the NTL
charges and for the reclassification of costs described above, selling,  general
and administrative  expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 30.7%
and 32.7% for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000,  respectively,
from 36.5% and 33.4% in the comparable periods in 1999.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  for the nine and  three  months  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 was (UK Pound)56.3 million,  (UK Pound)43.8 million,
(UK Pound)18.6 million, and (UK Pound)16.0 million,  respectively,  representing
increases of (UK  Pound)12.5  million and (UK Pound)2.6  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 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 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 nine and
three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was (UK Pound)82.0  million,  (UK
Pound)73.0  million,   (UK  Pound)28.7  million,  and  (UK  Pound)25.1  million,
respectively,  representing increases of (UK Pound)9.0 million and (UK Pound)3.6
million,  respectively,  from 1999 as compared to the same periods in 2000.  For
the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000,  interest  expense  includes
the accretion of the discount on the Discount  Notes of (UK  Pound)46.0  million
and  (UK  Pound)16.4  million,  interest  on the  1994  and  1998  Notes  of (UK
Pound)33.5  million and (UK Pound)11.4  million,  amortization of debt financing
costs of (UK  Pound)2.0  million and (UK  Pound)0.7  million and other  interest
expense of (UK Pound)500,000 and (UK Pound)200,000,  respectively.  For the nine
and three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  interest  expense  includes the
accretion of the discount on the Discount  Notes of (UK  Pound)55.9  million and
(UK Pound)19.4 million, interest on the 1998 Notes of (UK Pound)14.8 million and
(UK Pound)4.9  million,  amortization  of debt financing  costs of (UK Pound)1.8
million and (UK  Pound)600,000  and other interest expense of (UK  Pound)500,000
and (UK Pound)200,000, 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 nine and three months ended September 30, 2000
and  1999,  the  Group  recorded  net  foreign  exchange  (losses)  gains of (UK
Pound)(68.4)  million, (UK Pound)(6.2) million, (UK Pound)(20.5) million and (UK
Pound)28.7  million,  respectively,  primarily due to the unrealized  losses and
gains 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.
