2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are
unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries where it
exercises a controlling financial interest through the ownership of a majority
voting interest. The following illustrates those subsidiaries for which the
Company did not consolidate the results of operations for the entire six months
ended June 30, 2000 and/or June 30, 1999:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Effective Date
Entity of Consolidation Reason
------ ---------------- ------
<S> <C> <C>
UPC Nederland(1) February 1, 1999 Acquisition of remaining 49.0% interest in
United Telekabel Holding N.V. ("UTH"')
VTR May 1, 1999 Acquisition of remaining 66.0% interest
UPC Slovensko (Slovak Republic) June 1, 1999 Acquisition
GelreVision (The Netherlands) June 1, 1999 Acquisition

Intercomm France Holding S.A. March 1, 2000 Acquisition of 92.0% interest
Tebecai February 1, 2000 Acquisition
El Tele Ostfold and Vestfold March 1, 2000 Acquisition
K&T Group March 31, 2000 Acquisition
</TABLE>
--------------------
(1) Prior to the acquisition date, the equity method of accounting was used
because of certain minority shareholder's rights.
(2) Saturn was deconsolidated effective April 1, 2000 in connection with the
formation of the 50/50 joint venture Telstra Saturn.
In management's opinion, all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) have
been made which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For a more complete
understanding of the Company's financial position and results of operations, see
the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES, ACCOUNTED FOR UNDER THE EQUITY METHOD
For those investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and companies in which the
Company's voting interest is 20.0% to 50.0%, its investments are held through a
combination of voting common stock, preferred stock, debentures or convertible
debt and/or the Company exerts significant influence through board
representation and management authority, the equity method of accounting is
used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is
adjusted to recognize the Company's proportionate share of net earnings or
losses of the affiliate, limited to the extent of the Company's investment in
and advances to the affiliate, including any debt guarantees or other
contractual funding commitments. The Company's proportionate share of net
earnings or losses of affiliates includes the amortization of the excess of its
cost over its proportionate interest in each affiliate's net assets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
The cost method of accounting is used for the Company's other investments in
affiliates in which the Company's ownership interest is less than 20.0% and
where the Company does not exert significant influence, except for those
investments in marketable equity securities. The Company classifies its
investments in marketable equity securities in which its interest is less than
20.0% and where the Company does not exert significant influence as
available-for-sale and reports such investments at fair market value. Unrealized
gains and losses are charged or credited to equity, and realized gains and
losses and other-than-temporary declines in market value are included in
operations.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Additions, replacements,
installation costs and major improvements are capitalized, and costs for normal
repair and maintenance of property, plant and equipment are charged to expense
as incurred. Assets constructed incorporate overhead expense and interest
charges incurred during the period of construction; investment subsidies are
deducted. Upon disconnection of a subscriber, the remaining book value of the
subscriber equipment, excluding converters which are recovered upon
disconnection, and the capitalized labor are written off and accounted for as an
operating cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over
the economic life of the asset.
The economic lives of property, plant and equipment at acquisition are as
follows:
Cable distribution networks............................ 3-20 years
Subscriber premises equipment and converters........... 3-10 years
MMDS/DTH distribution facilities....................... 5-20 years
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures............... 3-10 years
Buildings and leasehold improvements................... 3-33 years
Other.................................................. 3-10 years
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The excess of investments in consolidated subsidiaries over the net tangible
asset value at acquisition is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.
Licenses in newly-acquired companies are recognized at the fair market value of
those licenses at the date of acquisition. Licenses in new franchise areas
include the capitalization of direct costs incurred in obtaining the license.
The license value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial license
period, up to a maximum of 20 years.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Costs to obtain debt financings are capitalized and amortized over the life of
the debt facility using the effective interest method.
SUBSCRIBER PREPAYMENTS AND DEPOSITS
Payments received in advance for multi-channel television service are deferred
and recognized as revenue when the associated services are provided. Deposits
are recorded as a liability upon receipt and refunded to the subscriber upon
disconnection.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is primarily derived from the sale of multi-channel television,
telephone and Internet/data services to subscribers and is recognized in the
period the related services are provided. Initial installation fees are
recognized as revenue in the period in which the installation occurs, to the
extent installation fees are equal to or less than direct selling costs, which
are expensed. To the extent installation fees exceed direct selling costs, the
excess fees are deferred and amortized over the average contract period. All
installation fees and related costs with respect to reconnections and
disconnections are recognized in the period in which the reconnection or
disconnection occurs because reconnection fees are charged at a level equal to
or less than related reconnection costs.

STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN NO. 51 ("SAB 51") ACCOUNTING POLICY
Gains realized as a result of stock sales by the Company's subsidiaries are
recorded in the statement of operations, except for any transactions which must
be credited directly to equity in accordance with the provisions of SAB 51.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation is recognized using the intrinsic value method for the
Company's stock option plans, which results in compensation expense for the
difference between the grant price and the fair market value at each new
measurement date. In addition to the Company's stock option plans, UPC, chello
broadband, ULA, VTR and Austar United have also adopted stock-based compensation
plans for their employees. With respect to these plans, the rights conveyed to
employees are the substantive equivalents to stock appreciation rights.
Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized at each financial statement date
based on the difference between the grant price and the estimated fair value of
the respective subsidiary's common stock. Subsequent decreases in the estimated
fair value result in a credit to the statement of operations.
BASIC AND DILUTED NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
"Basic net (loss) income per share" is determined by dividing net (loss) income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during each period. Net (loss) income available to common
stockholders includes the accrual of dividends on convertible preferred stock
which is charged directly to additional paid-in capital. "Diluted net (loss)
income per share" includes the effects of potentially issuable common stock, but
only if dilutive. On November 11, 1999, The Board of Directors authorized a
two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend distributed on
November 30, 1999 to stockholders of record on November 22, 1999. All historical
weighted average share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the
stock split.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE RISK
The functional currency for the Company's foreign operations is the applicable
local currency for each affiliate company, except for countries which have
experienced hyper-inflationary economies. For countries which have
hyper-inflationary economies, the financial statements are prepared in U.S.
dollars. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional
currency is the local currency are translated at 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 U.S. dollars that result in
unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments.
Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity and are included in Other Cumulative Comprehensive Loss.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency 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 the Company's operations in
foreign countries are translated based on their functional currencies. As a
result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated
statements of cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances
in 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.
Certain of the Company's foreign operating companies have notes payable and
notes receivable that are denominated in a currency other than their own
functional currency. Accordingly, the Company may experience economic loss and a
negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to its holdings solely as a
result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which requires that companies recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value.
Under SFAS 133, accounting for changes in fair market value of a derivative
depends on its intended use and designation. In June 1999, the FASB approved
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 amends the effective date of SFAS 133,
which will now be effective for the Company's first quarter 2001. The Company is
currently assessing the effect of this new standard.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In December 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 101") which provides interpretive guidance on the
recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The
Company is required to determine the impact of SAB 101 no later than the end of
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Depending on the results of the evaluation,
the implementation of SAB 101 may require the Company to restate its current
year results to reflect any cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle as if SAB 101 had been implemented on January 1, 2000. The Company is
currently reviewing SAB 101 to determine what impact, if any, the adoption of
SAB 101 will have on its financial position or results of operations.
3. ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER
AGREEMENT WITH LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION
In June 2000, the Company and Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") announced an
agreement in which United will acquire certain of Liberty's international
broadband distribution and programming assets in exchange for $200.0 million in
cash and 75.3 million shares of United's Class B common stock. These shares
represent a 38.0% economic and a 72.0% voting interest in United. The Liberty
assets to be acquired by United include a 25.0% indirect economic interest in
Telewest Communications, the second largest broadband communications provider in
the United Kingdom. United will also acquire Liberty's Latin American broadband
interests, including a 28.0% interest in Cablevision S.A. of Argentina; 49.0% of
Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico; 41.0% of Grupo Portatel, a wireless
broadband service provider in Mexico; and 43.0% of Digital Latin America. The
transaction is subject to certain regulatory, shareholder and third party
approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2000. Upon closing
Liberty will be bound by certain voting and standstill agreements with the
Company and certain of its controlling shareholders.
SATURN TELSTRA JOINT VENTURE
On April 6, 2000, Saturn merged with Telstra New Zealand Limited, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Telstra Corporation Limited, to form Telstra Saturn. Telstra
Saturn offers video, voice and data services to New Zealand's business and
residential markets.

10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
COMMON STOCK
In April 1993, the Company adopted a Restated Certificate of Incorporation
pursuant to which the Company authorized the issuance of two classes of common
stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class A
Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share while each share of Class B
Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B Common
Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of
Class A Common Stock. The two classes of common stock are identical in all other
respects.
COMMON STOCK SPLIT
On November 11, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock
split effected in the form of a stock dividend distributed on November 30, 1999
to shareholders of record on November 22, 1999. The effect of the stock split
has been recognized retroactively in all share and per share amounts in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.
SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
In July 1999, the Company issued 425,000 shares of par value $0.01 per share

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(1) "Adjusted EBITDA" represents net operating earnings before depreciation,
amortization and stock-based compensation charges. Stock-based compensation
charges result from variable plan accounting for our subsidiaries' phantom
stock option plans and are generally non-cash charges. Industry analysts
generally consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a helpful way to measure the
performance of cable television operations and communications companies.
Adjusted EBITDA should not, however, be considered a replacement for net
income, cash flows or for any other measure of performance or liquidity
under generally accepted accounting principles, or as an indicator of a
company's operating performance. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable to statistics with a similar name reported by other
companies. Not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the
same manner.
The Company's consolidated segment Adjusted EBITDA reconciles to the
consolidated statement of operations as follows:

forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements
concerning our plans, objectives and future economic prospects, expectations,
beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar
expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements,

such 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 subscribers'
acceptance of our newer telephone and Internet/data services, our ability to
manage and grow our newer telephone and Internet/data services, our ability to
secure adequate capital to fund other system growth and development and our
planned acquisitions, our ability to successfully close proposed transactions,
risks inherent in investment and operations in foreign countries, changes in
government regulation, changes in the nature of key strategic relationships with
joint ventures. We and our subsidiaries have announced many potential
acquisitions, many of which are subject to various conditions, some of which may
not occur. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the time of this
report, and we have no obligation or plans to provide updates or revisions to
these forward-looking statements or any other changes in events, conditions or
circumstances on which these statements are based. The following discussion and

</TABLE>
REVENUE. Revenue increased $157.2 million, or 107.7%, from $146.0 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $303.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000. Revenue increased $330.5 million, or 130.2%, from $253.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $584.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.
EUROPE. Revenue for UPC in U.S. dollar terms increased $134.3 million, or 152.8%
from $87.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $222.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000, despite a 13.3% devaluation of the
Euro to the U.S. dollar from period to period. Revenue for UPC in U.S. dollar
terms increased $255.7 million, or 156.2% from $163.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 to $419.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
despite a 12.9% devaluation of the Euro to the U.S. dollar from period to
period. For both the three month period and the six month period, the increase
in video revenue resulted primarily from UPC's acquisitions. The increase in
video revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 attributable to
acquisitions totaled 91.6% of the total increase. Of this increase, acquisitions
in The Netherlands represent 43.9%, acquisitions in France represent 23.2%, the
acquisition in Poland represents 11.1% and the acquisition in Sweden represents
11.8%. The increase in video revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000
attributable to acquisitions totaled 92.9% of the total increase. Of this
increase, acquisitions in The Netherlands represent 35.0%, acquisitions in
France represent 22.8%, the acquisition in Poland represents 23.0% and the
acquisition in Sweden represents 10.6%. The remaining increase in video revenue
came from subscriber growth, increased revenue per subscriber in Austria,
Norway, UPC's existing system in France, and UPC's systems in Eastern Europe.
The increase in UPC's telephone revenue is primarily due to the launch of local
telephone services, under the brand name Priority Telecom, in UPC's Austrian,
Dutch, French and Norwegian systems. In addition, UPC began consolidating
telephone revenue from its acquisitions of A2000 (September 1999) and Monor
(December 1999). The increase in UPC's Internet/data revenue is primarily due to
the launch of residential and business cable-modem high-speed Internet access
services, branded chello broadband in April 1999. During the second quarter of
1999, UPC launched chello broadband on the upgraded portion of its networks in
Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands (with the exception of A2000) and
Norway. UPC launched chello broadband at A2000 (Netherlands) as well as in
Sweden in the fourth quarter of 1999. The increase in UPC's Programming and DTH
revenue from period to period is primarily due to the acquisition of
@Entertainment in August 1999.
ASIA/PACIFIC. Revenue for Austar United increased $8.1 million, or 23.5% from
$34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $42.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, despite a 10.7% devaluation of the Australian
dollar to the U.S. dollar from period to period. Austar United's revenue
increased $24.1 million, or 37.2%, from $64.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 to $88.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, despite a
6.2% devaluation of the Australian dollar to the U.S. dollar from period to
period. The increase in video revenue from period to period was primarily due to
Austar United's subscriber growth (406,326 at June 30, 2000 compared to 329,002
at June 30, 1999) as well as growth in premium tiers, resulting in an average
revenue per subscriber of $33.49 and $33.67 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $33.91 and $32.48 for the same periods
in the prior year.
LATIN AMERICA. We began consolidating the results of operations of VTR effective
May 1, 1999. Revenue for VTR in U.S. dollar terms increased $5.0 million, or
15.8%, from $31.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $36.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, despite a 6.3% devaluation of
the Chilean peso to the U.S. dollar from period to period. Revenue for VTR in
U.S. dollar terms increased $11.2 million, or 18.4% from $61.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to $72.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000, despite a 6.0% devaluation of the Chilean peso to the U.S. dollar from
period to period. The increase in telephone revenue of $8.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the prior year resulted from telephone
subscriber growth (94,191 at June 30, 2000 compared to 43,379 at June 30, 1999)
as well as an increase in average monthly revenue per subscriber for telephone
service from $26.21 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $28.61 for the
same period in the current year. Video revenue increased a modest $2.2 million
31
<PAGE>
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 because of increased churn and lower
sales volume than expected for its video service due to an economic recession in
Chile and increased competition. The number of subscribers increased slightly
from 391,021 as of June 30, 1999 to 394,119 as of June 30, 2000. The average
monthly revenue per subscriber for video was $24.87 and $24.83 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $24.03 and $23.77 for
the same periods in the prior year.
ADJUSTED EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $78.7 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. Adjusted
EBITDA decreased $138.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999.
EUROPE. Adjusted EBITDA for UPC in U.S. dollar terms decreased $73.7 million,
from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to negative $72.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Adjusted EBITDA for UPC in
U.S. dollar terms decreased $137.7 million, from $8.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 to negative $129.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000. Video EBITDA increased 67.6% and 67.3% for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the same periods in the prior year, while video
revenue increased 95.5% and 100.6%, respectively. As a percentage of revenue,
video operating and SG&A expense increased 6.2% from 55.3% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to 61.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2000, and
increased 7.5% from 55.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 62.5% for
the six months ended June 30, 2000. These increases were primarily due to higher
operating costs as a percentage of revenue for systems UPC acquired during 1999.
UPC expects to reduce this percentage in future years as the new acquisitions
are integrated and through other operating efficiencies. UPC's negative Adjusted
EBITDA from its local telephone services was due to the recent launch of
Priority Telecom in its Austrian, Dutch, French and Norwegian systems. In order
to achieve high growth from early market entry, UPC prices its telephone service
at a discount compared to services offered by incumbent telecommunications
operators. UPC may also waive or discount installation fees. UPC's significant
negative Adjusted EBITDA from its Internet/data service was due to the launch of
chello broadband on the upgraded portion of its networks in Austria, Belgium,
France, The Netherlands (with the exception of A2000) and Norway in the second
quarter of 1999. UPC launched chello broadband in A2000 and Sweden in the fourth
quarter of 1999. Subsequent to UPC's acquisition of @Entertainment in August
1999, UPC began to restructure the Polish DTH and programming businesses by
separating them into two business lines. UPC has incurred significant start-up
and restructuring costs related to this endeavor. UPC expects to incur
additional operating losses related to its programming and DTH businesses for
the next two years, while UPC develops and expands its subscriber base.
ASIA/PACIFIC. Austar United's Adjusted EBITDA loss increased by $5.0 million, or
333.3%, from negative $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to
negative $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Austar United's
Adjusted EBITDA loss increased by $5.5 million, or 110.0%, from negative $5.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to negative $10.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was
primarily due to the increased expenses associated with the launch of Austar
United Broadband's Internet business. The Adjusted EBITDA loss for video
improved by $1.4 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Austar's incremental sales growth was partially offset by increased programming
costs as subscribers increased and the Australian dollar weakened against the
U.S. dollar, as well as by increased marketing costs due to a push for improved
brand name awareness in the marketplace during the second quarter. The Adjusted
EBITDA loss for the Internet business increased to $5.1 million and $6.6 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to nil
in the prior year as Austar United Broadband rolls out its broadband Internet
services.
LATIN AMERICA. We began consolidating the results of operations of VTR effective
May 1, 1999. VTR's Adjusted EBITDA in U.S. dollar terms decreased $1.5 million,
or 29.4%, from $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. VTR's Adjusted EBITDA in U.S.
dollar terms decreased $2.3 million, or 20.9% from $11.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000. The overall decrease in both periods was due primarily to an increase in
management fees of $1.3 and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000, respectively, compared to the prior periods, as we began consolidating
VTR. VTR's Adjusted EBITDA from its video business increased for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the prior periods as modest price
increases exceeded expenses. Although revenues from telephone services increased
significantly from the comparable period in 1999, development expenses of this
new business continue to exist. VTR expects these operating and selling, general
32
<PAGE>
and administrative expenses as a percentage of telephone revenue to decline in
future periods because development costs in general will taper off and certain
costs have already been incurred and are fixed in relation to subscriber
volumes.
CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Corporate general and
administrative expense decreased $122.6 million, from $59.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to a credit of $63.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. Corporate general and administrative expense
decreased $76.1 million from $85.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. These decreases
were primarily attributable to a stock-based compensation credit of $69.1
million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
respectively, compared to a charge of $47.8 million and $66.4 million for the
same periods in 1999. These plans include the UPC phantom stock option plan, the
chello phantom stock option plan, the Austar United stock option plan, the ULA
phantom stock option plan and the VTR phantom stock option plan, which continue
to require variable plan accounting. Under this method of accounting, increases
in the fair market value of these shares result in non-cash compensation charges
to the statement of operations for vested options, while decreases in the fair
market value of these shares will cause a reversal of previous charges taken.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$111.0 million and $225.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, as
follows:

EUROPE. UPC's depreciation and amortization expense in U.S. dollar terms
increased $107.7 million, from $40.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999 to $148.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. UPC's
depreciation and amortization expense in U.S. dollar terms increased $204.6
million, from $73.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $277.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase resulted primarily
from acquisitions completed during 1999 in The Netherlands and Poland, as well
as additional depreciation related to additional capital expenditures to upgrade
the network in UPC's Western European systems and new-build for developing
systems.
ASIA/PACIFIC. Depreciation and amortization expense for Austar United decreased
$1.0 million, or 3.9%, from $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999 to $24.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. On a functional
currency basis, Austar United's depreciation and amortization expense increased
A$1.8 million, from A$39.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to
A$40.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, a 4.6% increase.
Depreciation and amortization expense for Austar United increased $4.3 million,
or 8.6%, from $49.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $54.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. On a functional currency basis,
Austar United's depreciation and amortization expense increased A$11.5 million,
from A$77.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to A$89.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, a 14.8% increase. This increase is primarily
due to Saturn being consolidated for the first quarter 2000 and reported under
the equity method during the first six months in 1999.
LATIN AMERICA. The increase in the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 is
due to consolidating the results of operations of VTR effective May 1, 1999.
GAIN ON ISSUANCE OF COMMON EQUITY SECURITIES BY SUBSIDIARIES. During February
1999, UPC successfully completed an initial public offering selling 133.8
million shares on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, raising gross and net
proceeds at $10.93 per share of $1,463.0 million and $1,364.1 million,
respectively. Concurrent with the offering, a third party exercised an option
and acquired approximately 4.7 million ordinary shares of UPC, resulting in
proceeds to UPC of $45.0 million. Based on the carrying value of our investment
in UPC as of February 11, 1999, we recognized a gain of $822.1 million from the
resulting step-up in the carrying amount of our investment in UPC, in accordance
with SAB 51. In March 2000, Austar United successfully priced a second public
33
<PAGE>
offering selling 20.0 million shares on the Australian Stock Exchange, raising
gross and net proceeds at $5.20 per share of $104.0 million and $102.4 million,
respectively. Based on the carrying value of our investment in Austar United as
of March 29, 2000, we recognized a gain of $66.8 million from the resulting
step-up in the carrying amount of our investment in Austar United, in accordance
with SAB 51. We recorded an additional gain in accordance with SAB 51 of $6.8
million related to the UPC France transaction in February 2000.
No deferred taxes were recorded related to these gains due to our intent on
holding our investment in UPC and Austar United indefinitely.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to
higher cash balances related to the issuance of new debt and equity in late
1999.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $140.1 million, from $61.8 million
during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $201.9 million during the three
months ended June 30, 2000. Interest expense increased $299.0 million, from
$118.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $417.5 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2000. These increases were primarily due to
the $4.1 billion of senior notes and senior discount notes issued by UPC from
July 1999 through January 2000, as well as continued accretion of interest on
our $1,375.0 million aggregate principal amount 1998 senior notes and our 1999
senior notes.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE LOSS. Foreign currency exchange loss increased $46.5
million from $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $61.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Foreign currency exchange loss
increased $103.9 million from $20.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 to $124.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. These increases
were primarily due to UPC, which has bond and notes payable that are denominated
in U.S. dollars.
MINORITY INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES. The minority interests' share of losses
increased $112.3 million from $62.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999 to $174.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Minority
interests' share of losses increased $326.7 million from $74.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to $401.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000. The initial public offerings of UPC (February 1999) and Austar United
(July 1999) and other share issuances have reduced our ownership from 100% and
98.0% as of December 31, 1998 to 53.0% and 72.3% as of June 30, 2000 for UPC and
Austar United, respectively. For accounting purposes we continue to consolidate
100% of the results of operations of UPC and Austar United, then deduct the
minority interests' share of income (loss) before arriving at net income (loss).
Of the total increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, $101.1
million and $305.6 million related to UPC, respectively, and $11.6 million and
$21.2 million related to Austar United, respectively.
SHARE IN RESULTS OF AFFILIATED COMPANIES. Our share in results of affiliates
totaled $17.7 million and $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively, and $39.9 million and $31.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
SOURCES AND USES
We have financed our acquisitions and funding of our video, voice and data
systems in the three main regions of the world in which we operate primarily
through public and private debt and equity as well as cash received from the
sale of non-strategic assets by certain subsidiaries. These resources have also
been used to refinance certain debt instruments and facilities as well as to
cover corporate overhead. The following table outlines the sources and uses of
cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term liquid investments (for
purposes of this table only, "cash") for United (parent only) from inception to
date:

UNITED PARENT. We had $1,206.1 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash and short-term liquid investments on hand as of June 30, 2000. Additional
sources of cash through 2000 may include the raising of additional private or
public debt and/or equity and/or the receipt of sales proceeds from the
disposition of non-strategic assets by certain subsidiaries. Uses of cash in the
next year will include continued funding to the Latin America region to meet
existing growth plans of our systems, as well as potential acquisitions in that
region, and corporate overhead. We estimate approximately $65.0 million of
United Parent funding will be required by systems in the Latin America region
during the remainder of 2000. We believe that our existing capital resources
will enable us to assist in satisfying the operating and development
requirements of our other subsidiaries and cover corporate overhead for the
remainder of the year. To the extent we pursue new acquisitions or development
opportunities, we may need to raise additional capital or seek strategic
partners. Because we do not currently generate positive operating cash flow, our
ability to repay our long-term obligations will be dependent on developing one
or more additional sources of cash.
UPC. UPC had $552.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and
short-term liquid investments on hand as of June 30, 2000. In May 2000, UPC
closed a euro4.0 ($3.8) billion 8.0 and 8.75 year Operating and Term Loan
Commitment. The facilities will refinance existing operating company bank debt
currently totaling euro1.7 ($1.6) billion as of June 30, 2000. The new loan
facilities will add euro2.3 ($2.2) billion of liquidity and will be used to
finance the further rollout of digital and triple play services. The loan is
expected to be closed and drawn in the third quarter 2000. UPC may need to raise
additional capital in the future to the extent UPC pursues additional
acquisitions or development opportunities.
UAP. UAP had $307.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term liquid
investments on hand as of June 30, 2000. This cash will be used to expand Austar
United's customer base, complete the build-out of its network and introduce new
services such as telephone and Internet/data.
ULA. ULA had $6.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and
short-term liquid investments on hand as of June 30, 2000. ULA's systems, which
are at various stages of construction and development, will generally depend on
funding from us and project financing to meet their growth needs. To the extent
ULA pursues additional acquisitions or development opportunities, ULA may need
to raise additional capital or seek strategic partners.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
We had cash and cash equivalents of $969.4 million as of June 30, 2000, a
decrease of $956.5 million from $1,925.9 million as of December 31, 1999. Cash
and cash equivalents of $252.1 million as of June 30, 1999 represented an
increase of $216.5 million from $35.6 million as of December 31, 1998.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
--------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our non-trading investment
portfolio. We place our cash and cash equivalent investments in highly liquid
instruments that meet high credit quality standards with original maturities at
the date of purchase of less than three months. We also place our short-term
investments in liquid instruments that meet high credit quality standards with
original maturities at the date of purchase of between three and twelve months.
We also limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer or type of
instrument. These investments are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in
value if market interest rates increase. We do not expect, however, any material
loss with respect to our investment portfolio.
IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES
We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to our operating
subsidiaries' monetary assets and liabilities and the financial results of
foreign subsidiaries when their respective financial statements are translated
into U.S. dollars during consolidation. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate
fluctuations also arises from intercompany charges such as the cost of
equipment, management fees and certain other charges that are denominated in
U.S. dollars but recorded in the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary.
In addition, certain of our operating companies have notes payable and notes
receivable which are denominated in a currency other than their own functional
currency, as follows:

Occasionally we will execute hedge transactions to reduce our exposure to
foreign currency exchange rate risk. In connection with UPC's offering of senior
notes in July 1999, October 1999 and January 2000, UPC entered into
cross-currency swap agreements, exchanging dollar-denominated notes into Euro
denominated notes.

We use interest rate swap agreements from time to time, to manage interest rate
risk on our floating rate debt facilities. Interest rate swaps are entered into
depending on our assessment of the market, and generally are used to convert the
floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Interest differentials paid or received
under these swap agreements are recognized over the life of the contracts as
adjustments to the effective yield of the underlying debt, and related amounts
payable to, or receivable from, the counterparties are included in the
consolidated balance sheet.
INFLATION AND FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK
Certain of our operating companies operate in countries where the rate of
inflation is extremely high relative to that in the United States. While our
affiliated companies attempt to increase their subscription rates to offset
increases in operating costs, there is no assurance that they will be able to do
so. Therefore, operating costs may rise faster than associated revenue,
resulting in a material negative impact on reported earnings. We are also
impacted by inflationary increases in salaries, wages, benefits and other
administrative costs, the effects of which to date have not been material.
Our foreign operating companies are all directly affected by their respective
countries' government, economic, fiscal and monetary policies and other
political factors. We believe that our operating companies' financial conditions
and results of operations have not been materially adversely affected by these
factors.
