         This statement is being filed by Comcast U.K. Holdings, Inc., a
         Delaware corporation ("UK Holdings").  UK Holdings is a direct
         wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast International Holdings, Inc., a
         Delaware corporation ("CIH").  CIH is a direct wholly owned
         subsidiary of Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation
         ("Comcast").  Sural Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Sural"),
         is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 10,631,287 shares of
         Class A Common Stock of Comcast ("Class A Common Stock") (assuming
         the conversion of 8,786,250 shares of Class B Common Stock of
         Comcast ("Class B Common Stock") beneficially owned by Sural into
         Class A Common Stock).  Sural is the sole owner of the outstanding
         Class B Common Stock, each share of which is entitled to 15 votes
         and is convertible on a share-for-share basis into Class A Common
         Stock or Comcast Class A Special Common Stock.  Based upon the
         31,793,487 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December
         31, 1997, and treating the 8,786,250 shares of Class B Common Stock
         held by Sural as outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant
         to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
         amended (the "Exchange Act"), Sural is deemed to be the beneficial
         owner of approximately 26% of the outstanding shares of Class A
         Common Stock.

         On October 24, 1997, Ralph J. Roberts, the Chairman of the Board of
         Comcast, gifted shares of Class A Common Stock of Sural to his son,
         Brian L. Roberts, the President and a director of Comcast.  As a
         result of the gift, Brian L. Roberts has sole voting power over
         stock representing a majority of voting power of all Sural stock.
         Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, Brian L. Roberts is
         deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Class A Common Stock and
         the Class B Common Stock owned by Sural.  Brian L. Roberts is also
         the beneficial owner of an additional 4,061 shares of Class A Common
         Stock, including 1,356 shares of such stock owned by his wife, as to
         which shares he disclaims beneficial ownership.  As of December 31,
         1997, the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
         owned by Sural constituted approximately 82% of the voting power of
         the two classes of Comcast's voting Common Stock combined.
