ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.
- ----------------------

     On March 28, 2000, UPC closed its acquisition of the Eneco KabelTV and
Telecom Group ("K&T Group"), which owns and operates cable television networks
in Rotterdam, Dordrecht and surrounding municipalities in The Netherlands.

     On March 9, 2000, UPC announced that it had entered into an Exchange Offer
Agreement with SBS Broadcasting S.A. ("SBS") to acquire the approximately 76.5%
of the shares of SBS that it did not already own. SBS creates, acquires,
packages and distributes programming and other media content in many countries
in Europe via television channels, radio stations and the Internet. The
acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory approval.

     The Exchange Offer Agreement is subject to certain "termination events",
including if the average closing share price for UPC Ordinary Shares A on NASDAQ
for any consecutive ten day period occurring from the date of the Agreement
until the third business day prior to the commencement of the offer is less than
or equal to USD49.00 per share. Notwithstanding the occurrence of this "trigger
event", occasioned by the decline in the average closing price for UPC Ordinary
Shares A, UPC has elected not to terminate the Agreement. Pursuant to a letter
agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") dated April 11, 2000, the parties have
agreed to amend the Exchange Offer Agreement to provide that, in the event that
the average closing price for UPC Ordinary Shares A does not exceed USD49.00 per
share over a randomly selected ten day period immediately prior to the scheduled
commencement of the Offer, UPC will have the right to terminate the Exchange
Offer Agreement.

     The attached unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet
information assumes that these acquisitions, together with our January 2000
senior notes and discount notes offering, occurred on December 31, 1999. The
attached unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of operations
information assumes these acquisitions, as well as our July 1999 acquisition of
StjarnTVnatet and our August 1999 acquisition of @ Entertainment, had occurred
on January 1, 1999. These proforma condensed consolidated financial statements
supercede those in the Form 8-K filed on April 19, 2000.


ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
- -------------------------------------------

(a)       Financial Statements
          none

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

            UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data are
presented to reflect the pro forma effect of our acquisition of an initial
approximately 23.5% interest in SBS and our offer to acquire the remaining
approximately 76.5% of SBS, our acquisition of 100% of the K&T Group and our
offering of senior notes and discount notes in January 2000. The unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 1999 also reflects our acquisition of StjarnTVnatet ("Stjarn") in July 1999
and our acquisition of @ Entertainment in August 1999. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations and the notes
thereto do not purport to represent what our results of operations would
actually have been if such transactions had in fact occurred on such dates. The
pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and upon
certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. All share and per share
amounts have been adjusted to reflect UPC's three for one stock split in March
2000.

     In August 1999, we acquired 100% of @ Entertainment for 750.7 million. The
@ entertainment acquisition was accounted for under the purchase accounting
method. We began consolidating @ Entertainment effective August 1, 1999.

     In July 1999, we acquired 100% of Stjarn for 371.1 million. USD100.0
million (97.5 million) was paid in the form of a one-year seller's note with
interest of 8% per annum and the balance was paid in cash. Upon maturity of the
note, we will have the option to pay the note in either cash or our shares. The
Stjarn acquisition was structured as a purchase of shares of Stjarn's parent
holding company, NBS Nordic Broadband Services AB ("NBS Nordic"). We began
consolidating Stjarn effective August 1, 1999.

     In July 1999, we closed the purchase of approximately 4.8% of SBS for 22.7
million. In August we acquired an additional 8.5% of SBS for 70.2 million.
During 1999, we accounted for our investment in SBS under the equity method of
accounting. In February 2000, we further increased our investment in SBS by
acquiring an additional 10.2% for 163.5 million.

     In March 2000, we closed the purchase of the K&T Group. We acquired 100% of
the K&T Group shares and the outstanding debt of the K&T Group, totaling 1.1
billion.  We will consolidate the K&T Group effective March 31, 2000.

     In March 2000, we announced an offer to acquire the remaining approximately
76.5% of SBS which we do not currently own. We have agreed to initiate an
exchange offer to acquire SBS's shares at a per share price of USD40 in cash
plus 0.5174286 of a share of our ordinary shares A, subject to adjustment. We
will adjust the stock portion of the purchase price under certain circumstances
so that the SBS shareholders will receive not less than USD77.50 and not more
than USD86.00 for each SBS share exchanged, based on the average share price
prevailing on the trading days shortly prior to making the exchange offer. For
purposes of the pro formas, we have used our closing share price of USD73.34
(euro 73.85) on March 9, 2000, the date we announced our offer. We have also
assumed for purposes of the pro formas, that all holders of SBS's stock options
tender their options, for a net payment to be made by us, 60% in cash and the
remaining 40% value in our shares. Under the terms of the share exchange
agreement, the option holders have the right to choose up to 60% cash, our
shares or a combination, in exchange for their options.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet also gives effect
to our offering of senior notes and discount notes and the related swaps in
January 2000. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of
operations, the acquisition of @ Entertainment is funded with proceeds from our
senior notes and discount notes in July 1999, the acquisition of Stjarn is
funded with a seller's note and proceeds from our senior notes and senior
discount notes in July 1999, our acquisitions in July/August 1999 and January
2000 of SBS are funded with proceeds of our initial public offering and our
secondary offering, respectively, and our acquisition of K&T Group and our
tender for the remaining shares of SBS are funded with proceeds of our senior
notes and discount notes offerings in October 1999 and January 2000.


            UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of December
31, 1999, gives effect to (1) the offering of our senior notes and discount
notes, and the related swaps, in January 2000, (2) our acquisition of the K&T
Group in March 2000, and (3) our acquisition in February 2000 of an additional
10.2% interest in SBS and our offer to acquire the remaining approximately 76.5%
shares of SBS which we do not already own (together the "SBS Transactions"), as
if each had occurred on December 31, 1999.
