Explanation of Responses:
(1) Shares held by Mr. Goad's wholly-owned investment company, Columbia Management, Inc.
(2) Columbia Management, Inc., an Indiana corporation of which Mr. Goad is the sole shareholder, is a limited partner in European
Cable Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("ECCP"). Columbia Management, Inc. owns or has options to
acquire, in each case as a limited partner, an aggregate of 206,086 Units of partnership interest in ECCP ("ECCP Units"),
which contstitute 9.20% of all ECCP Units on a fully-diluted basis. ECCP owns 8,413,168 shares of NTL Incorporated ("NTL").
Neither Mr. Goad nor Columbia Management, Inc. has a right to control or direct ECCP or the disposition of shares of NTL which
it owns, and they therefore disclaim any beneficial ownership of the shares of NTL owned by ECCP.
