                       UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

     In May 2000, NTL Incorporated acquired ConsumerCo and in September 1999,
NTL (Delaware), Inc. acquired NTL Business. In March 1999, we acquired Diamond
Cable Communications plc. The credit agreement which partially funded the
acquisition of ConsumerCo requires the outstanding share capital of ConsumerCo
and NTL Business to be contributed to us by July 2001.

     The unaudited pro forma financial data presented gives effect to the
completed acquisition of Diamond and to the proposed contributions of all of the
outstanding share capital of ConsumerCo and NTL Business to us. The unaudited
pro forma financial data is based on our historical financial statements and the
historical financial statements of Diamond, NTL Business and ConsumerCo. The
historical financial statements of Diamond, NTL Business and ConsumerCo are
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and
have been translated into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate of: (1) $1.5163 to
L1.00 for the balance sheet as of June 30, 2000; (2) $1.5701 to L1.00 for the
statement of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 (the
average exchange rate for such period); and (3) $1.6179 to L1.00 for the
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 (the average
exchange rate for such period). Certain amounts in these historical financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to our presentation.


     The unaudited pro forma financial data does not give effect to the issuance
of the Notes or the use of the proceeds from such issuance. When we issue the
Notes, our interest expense will increase in accordance with the principal
amount of the Notes being issued and the interest rate assigned to such Notes.
Because we are not using the proceeds of the proposed offering to repay any of
our outstanding indebtedness, we do not expect any corresponding decrease in
interest expense. Following the offering, we intend to reduce the lenders'
commitment under the L1,300 million credit agreement, dated May 30, 2000, among
NTL Communications Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and a group of banks by
approximately $243.0 million (half of the net proceeds of the offering). As of
June 30, 2000, no amounts have been borrowed under this credit agreement.

     The historical results of ConsumerCo for the year ended December 31, 1999
and for the six months ended June 30, 2000 reflect certain intercompany costs
and expenses as they were prior to the separation of ConsumerCo which was
completed in the second quarter of 2000. These costs and expenses do not
necessarily reflect the costs and expenses that would have been incurred if
DataCo (the non-ConsumerCo part of Cable & Wireless Communications plc that was
retained by Cable and Wireless) and ConsumerCo were separate entities for these
periods. Therefore, the historical financial statements of ConsumerCo, which are
included in the unaudited pro forma financial data, are not reflective of
results on a going forward basis. NTL Incorporated's immediate focus will be on
the following priorities: reducing the fault rate, improving the installation
experience, continuing with the digital rollout and improving the value
proposition for the service bundle. These are all factors that will reduce churn
and increase penetration. However, they will increase costs in the next 12
months and may impact revenue growth as well.

     The acquisition of Diamond has been accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting, in which the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have
been recorded at their estimated fair values.

     The proposed contributions of all of the outstanding share capital of
ConsumerCo and NTL Business have been accounted for at the historical cost of
NTL Incorporated and NTL (Delaware), Inc., respectively. This is consistent with
a transfer of entities under common control, and is similar to the accounting
used in a "pooling of interests." NTL Incorporated and NTL (Delaware), Inc. each
accounted for their respective acquisitions of ConsumerCo and NTL Business using
the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. We, as well as
NTL Incorporated, are unaware of events other than those disclosed in the
unaudited notes to the pro forma financial data that would require a material
change to the preliminary purchase price allocation. However, a final
determination of necessary purchase accounting adjustments for the ConsumerCo
acquisition will be made upon the completion of a study to be undertaken to
determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including intangible
assets. The actual financial position and results of operations will differ,
perhaps significantly, from the unaudited pro forma amounts reflected because of
a variety of factors, including access to additional information, changes in
value not currently identified and changes in operating results between the
dates of the unaudited pro forma financial data and the actual acquisition date.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and for the year ended December 31, 1999 give
effect to the acquisition of Diamond and the contributions

of all of the outstanding share capital of ConsumerCo and NTL Business as if
they had been consummated on January 1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet at June 30, 2000 gives effect to the contributions of all
of the outstanding share capital of ConsumerCo and NTL Business as if they
occurred on June 30, 2000.

     The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
assumptions that we believe were reasonable at the time made. The unaudited pro
forma financial data does not purport to present our financial position or
results of operations had the acquisition and contributions occurred on the
dates specified, nor are they necessarily indicative of the financial position
or results of operations that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined statements of operations do not reflect any adjustments
for cost savings that we expect to realize. The pro forma adjustments reflecting
the acquisition and contributions are based upon the assumptions set forth in
the notes to the pro forma financial data. No assurances can be made as to the
amount of cost savings or revenue enhancements, if any, that may be realized.
