Malone Right is $35.5875 based on the average of the closing sales price of the
Series B TCI Group Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the five
trading days preceding June 24, 1998, which was the date Malone exercised his
right to purchase shares pursuant to the Malone Right.

     The Bob Magness Estate purchased all of the shares that the Magness
Group had the right to acquire under the Malone Right. Therefore, because the
Magness Group's right to purchase shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock was
fully exercised by the Bob Magness Estate, neither the Bob Magness Estate nor
any other member of the Magness Group, including, but not limited to, Kim
Magness, has any right to purchase additional shares pursuant to the Malone
Right.

         case after elimination of shares then held by the Company and its
         majority owned subsidiaries.

(2)      Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series B Liberty Media Group Common
         Stock and Series B Ventures Group Common Stock ("Series B Shares") are
         convertible at any time on a one-for-one basis into Series A TCI Group
         Common Stock, Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock and Series A
         Ventures Group Common Stock ("Series A Shares"), respectively. The
         numbers of shares of Series A TCI Group Common Stock, Series A Liberty
         Media Group Common Stock and Series A Ventures Group Common Stock shown
         in this Item 5 assume that the shares of Series B TCI Group Common
         Stock, Series B Liberty Media Group Common Stock, and Series B Ventures
         Group Common Stock have been fully converted into shares of Series A
         TCI Group Common Stock, Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock, and
         Series A Ventures Group Common Stock, respectively.

         In addition, each share of Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series B
         Liberty Media Group Common Stock and Series B Ventures Group Common
         Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share and each share of Series A TCI
         Group Common Stock, Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock and
         Series A Ventures Group Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share.
         Holders of Class B Preferred Stock vote with the holders of the Series
         A TCI Group Common Stock, Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series A
         Liberty Media Group Common Stock, Series B Liberty Media Group Common
         Stock, Series A Ventures Group Common Stock, Series B Ventures Group
         Common Stock, and certain classes/series of the Company preferred stock
         on the election of directors. Accordingly, when these series and
         classes of stock are aggregated, Kim Magness may be deemed to currently
         beneficially own voting equity securities representing approximately
         22.3% of the voting power with respect to a general election of
         directors of the Company.

(3)      On February 9, 1998, Malone and his spouse (the "Malone Group") and the
         Magness Group entered into the Stockholders' Agreement (as described in
         Item 4 above) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things,
         to consult with each other on any matter coming to a vote of the
         Company's stockholders provided, however, that in the event of a
         disagreement, the shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series B
         Liberty Media Group Common Stock and Series B Ventures Group Common
         Stock held by the Malone Group and the Magness Group will be voted in
         the manner directed by Malone pursuant to an irrevocable proxy given by
         the Magness Group. See Item 4 above for more information on the
         Stockholders' Agreement.

         The Stockholders' Agreement gives the Magness Group and Malone the
         right to purchase from the Company, on a proportionate basis,
         12,406,238 shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock (the "Malone
         Right"). On October 16, 1998, the Bob Magness Estate fully exercised
         the Magness Group's right to purchase shares of Series B TCI Group
         Common Stock pursuant to the Malone Right and purchased 5,792,800
         shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock from the Company. The
         5,792,800 shares purchased constitute the full right of the Magness
         Group to participate in the Malone Right on a proportionate basis with
         Malone with respect to 12,406,238 shares of the 14,511,570 shares
         subject to the Malone Right. The exercise price per share purchased
         pursuant to the Malone Right is $35.5875 based on the average of the
         closing sales price of the Series B TCI Group Common Stock on the
         Nasdaq National

         Market for the five trading days preceding June 24, 1998, which was the
         date Malone exercised his right to purchase shares pursuant to the
         Malone Right.

         The Bob Magness Estate purchased all of the shares that the Magness
         Group had the right to acquire under the Malone Right. Therefore,
         because the Magness Group's right to purchase shares of Series B TCI
         Group Common Stock was fully exercised by the Bob Magness Estate,
         neither the Bob Magness Estate nor any other member of the Magness
         Group has any right to purchase additional shares pursuant to the
         Malone Right.

         In addition, shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series B
         Liberty Media Group Common Stock, and Series B Ventures Group Common
         Stock held by Kim Magness, Gary Magness, the Bob Magness Estate, the
         Betsy Magness Estate and Magness Securities, LLC are subject to the
         terms of the Magness Call Agreement. SEE Item 4.

(4)      Kim Magness is the personal representative of the Betsy Magness Estate
         and the Manager of the Magness LLC. The Betsy Magness Estate is the
         sole member of the Magness LLC. Accordingly, the following shares
         beneficially owned by the Magness LLC are reflected in full in Kim
         Magness' share information: (i) 5,539,818 shares of Series A TCI Group
         Common Stock, (ii) 5,539,818 shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock,
         (iii) 4,753,985 shares of Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock,
         (iv) 2,379,829 shares of Series B Liberty Media Group Common Stock, (v)
         5,823,452 shares of Series A Ventures Group Common Stock, and (vi)
         5,823,452 shares of Series B Ventures Group Common Stock. The foregoing
         share numbers assume the conversion in full of all Series B Shares into
         Series A Shares. SEE footnote 2 to this Item 5(a) for an explanation of
         the convertibility of Series B Shares into Series A Shares.

(5)      Kim Magness and Gary Magness are co-personal representatives of the Bob
         Magness Estate. Accordingly, the following shares beneficially owned by
         the Bob Magness Estate are reflected in full in Kim Magness' and Gary
         Magness' share information (i) 15,964,145 shares of Series A TCI Group
         Common Stock, (ii) 15,964,145 shares of Series B TCI Group Common
         Stock, (iii) 18,037,921 shares of Series A Liberty Media Group Common
         Stock, (iv) 11,454,693 shares of Series B Liberty Media Group Common
         Stock, (v) 12,034,298 shares of Series A Ventures Group Common Stock,
         and (vi) 12,034,298 shares of Series B Ventures Group Common Stock. The
         foregoing share numbers assume the conversion in full of all Series B
         Shares into Series A Shares. SEE footnote 2 to this Item 5(a) for an
         explanation of the convertibility of Series B Shares into Series A
         Shares.

(6)      Includes the exercise in full of options granted to Kim Magness in
         November 1995, pursuant to the Company's Director Stock Option Plan, to
         acquire 30,000 shares of Series A TCI Group Common Stock and 16,875
         shares of Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock. Options to acquire
         50,000 shares of Series A TCI Group Common Stock and 28,125 shares of
         Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock are covered by such grant, of
         which options to acquire 30,000 and 16,875 shares respectively are
         currently exercisable. No additional options are exercisable within the
         next 60 days.

(7)      Such shares are directly held by the Kim Magness Irrevocable Trust and
         are deemed beneficially owned by Kim Magness since he is the sole
         trustee and current primary beneficiary of such trust.

         Item 5(b) of the Statement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

         (b)      The following indicates for the filing person the number of
                  shares of Company Securities as to which there is sole or
                  shared power (as a co-personal representative of the Bob
                  Magness Estate) to vote or dispose of the Shares:

                        ALLONGE, FIRST AMENDMENT TO NOTE

         Reference is made to the Secured Promissory Note dated February 9, 1998
(the "Note") made by the Estate of Bob J. Magness ("BORROWER") to the order of
Bankers Trust Company (the "BANK") evidencing the principal amount of up to
$80,000,000.  Any capitalized term not defined in this Allonge, First Amendment
to Note (this "Allonge") shall have the meaning set forth in the Note.

         Borrower has requested that Bank amend the Note to increase the
principal sum which may be borrowed thereunder from $80,000,000 to $300,000,000,
to extend the Maturity Date to October 30, 1999 and to make certain other
modifications thereto.  Bank has agreed provided that Borrower execute and
deliver this Allonge.

         Bank agrees that Borrower shall be permitted to borrow up to
$300,000,000 outstanding at any one time under the Note subject to the terms and
provisions hereof and thereof.  Accordingly, any reference in the Note to the
Maximum Amount shall mean $300,000,000.  Borrower agrees that the increased
amount of the Loan being made available hereunder shall be repaid in accordance
with, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of, the Note as
amended hereby.  In confirmation thereof, Borrower hereby promises to pay to the
order of Bank the principal sum of Three Hundred Million Dollars or, if less,
the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan on the Maturity Date, together
with interest thereon all in accordance with the Note as amended hereby.

         1.   MATURITY DATE.   The Maturity Date is hereby extended from
February 9, 1999 to October 30, 1999 and references herein or in the Note to the
Maturity Date shall mean October 30, 1999 as it may be extended for consecutive
364-day periods in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.1(b) of
the Note.  For clarity sake, references to the "Maturity Date" in the first and
second sentences of Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to be references to the
"then-current Maturity Date".  In addition, the following is deemed added at the
end of Section 2.1(b): "If Bank fails to deliver such notice, then it shall be
as if Bank had denied such extension.  Upon such denial (whether by notice from
Bank or failure by Bank to deliver such notice), there shall be no right to any
further extension other than the ninety (90) day period as and to the extent set
forth above in this Section 2.1(b)."

         2.   PURPOSE.   The additional principal amount of the Loan being made
available pursuant hereto shall be used: (a) to lend $5,000,000 to the Estate of
Betsy Ruth Magness (the "BETSY ESTATE") so that the Betsy Estate shall have
sufficient funds to repay its outstanding indebtedness to Bank, (b) to purchase
5,792,800 shares of Series B Common Stock of TCI pursuant to Borrower's "Tag
Along" rights under the Stockholders' Agreement, and (c) for general purposes of
Borrower.

         3.   UNUSED FEE.   Effective as of the earlier of (x) October 31, 1998
or (y) the date of the first advance of the Loan made after the date hereof
(such earlier date, the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), the letter dated February 9, 1998
made by Borrower to Bank (the "2/9/98 LETTER") relating to an unused fee due
with respect to the Note and the note made by the Betsy Estate to Bank shall be
void and of no further force or effect.  In lieu thereof, Borrower agrees that
if
average daily borrowings of at least $150,000,000 are not maintained under the
Note for any calendar quarter (or partial calendar quarter) occurring after the
Effective Date up to maturity, then Borrower shall pay to Bank an unused fee in
an amount equal to one-eighth of one percent (.125%) per annum on the average
daily unadvanced portion of $150,000,000 for any such quarter (or partial
quarter), such unused fee to be paid upon receipt by Borrower of a certificate
from Bank stating that such aggregate average daily borrowings for such quarter
(or partial quarter) have not been maintained and setting forth the calculation
of the unused fee.  The unused fee, if any, due under the 2/9/98 Letter for the
calendar quarter ending September 30, 1998 and for the portion of the calendar
quarter occurring after September 30, 1998 but prior to the Effective Date is
hereby waived by Bank.

         4.   CONVERSION LIMIT.   The provisions of Section 11(a) of the Note
shall not apply to Borrower's exercise of its "Tag Along"

<PAGE>

rights described in Paragraph 2(b) of this Allonge.

         5.   CORRECTIONS TO NOTE.   The words "then and in any such event"
appearing at the end of clause (viii) of Section 10 of the Note shall be deemed
deleted therefrom and, instead, shall be deemed inserted (with a semicolon
following the word "event") after the words "or Bank's lien thereon shall be
adversely affected" appearing in clause (ix) of said Section 10.  The reference
to "Ba1" in Section 11(b) of the Note shall be deemed to be "Baa3".  In
addition,
in determining whether the rating of the debt of any issuer of Collateral has
fallen below the acceptable level in either Section 11(b) or 11(c), the lower
rating of either Standard & Poor's or Moody's (or their respective successors)
shall control.

         6.   NO DEFAULT OR OFFSET.   Borrower represents and warrants to Bank
that there is currently no default or Event of Default under the Note or the
Pledge Agreement and that all of the representations and warranties set forth
therein remain true and correct as of the date hereof.  Borrower acknowledges
that the Loan outstanding as of the date hereof is due and owing by Borrower to
Bank without offset, defense, crossclaim or counterclaim together with interest
as set forth in the Note, and, to the extent any such offset, defense,
crossclaim and counterclaim exists, same are hereby irrevocably waived.

         7.   RATIFICATION.   All of the above terms and provisions of this
Allonge are hereby incorporated in the Note and the Note is hereby amended
accordingly.   Except as amended hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the
Note are hereby ratified and confirmed.


                                        -2-

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed and delivered this Allonge,

                 AMENDMENT AND CONFIRMATION OF BORROWER SECURITY
                              AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT

         Amendment and Confirmation of Borrower Security and Pledge Agreement
(this "CONFIRMATION") dated as of October __15th___, 1998, by and between the
Estate of Bob J. Magness ("DEBTOR") and Bankers Trust Company ("BANK").

                                 R E C I T A L S

         A. Debtor executed and delivered to Bank a Borrower Security and Pledge
Agreement dated February 9, 1998 (the "Pledge Agreement") pursuant to which
Debtor granted a lien on and security interest in the Collateral (as defined
therein) to secure the Obligations (as defined therein).  The Obligations
include those owed by Debtor to Bank under a Secured Promissory Note dated
February 9, 1998 (as it may be amended or extended from time to time, the
"Note").

         B. Debtor has requested, among other things, that Bank increase the
maximum principal sum which may be borrowed under the Note from $80,000,000 to
$300,000,000, such increase to be evidenced by an Allonge, First Amendment to
Note of even date herewith (the "Allonge").

         C. The Pledge Agreement provides that the Obligations include those due
under any amendment to the Note and that the Collateral includes, among other
things, "all cash, securities, shares, certificates, notes, instruments, rights,
receivables and all other property of Debtor now or hereafter in the possession,
custody or control of Bank" including those credited to account number 280335 at
Bank and those described on Schedule B to the Pledge Agreement. However, as a
condition to Bank's agreement to increase the principal amount of the Note and
to make certain other modifications as set forth in the Allonge, Bank desires
that Debtor, among other things, confirm and ratify the pledge to Bank of
certain securities being delivered to Bank on or about the date hereof and more
particularly described in Schedule A hereto and that Debtor also confirm that
the Pledge Agreement secures the Note as modified by the Allonge.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Bank to increase the principal sum
available under the Note, and to agree to the other modifications set forth in
the Allonge, Debtor agrees as follows:

         1. GRANT. As security for the Obligations (including as increased
pursuant to the Allonge), Debtor hereby ratifies and confirms, and. hereby
restates, Debtor's assignment, pledge and grant to Bank of a continuing security
interest in and lien upon all right, title and interest of Debtor in and to the
Collateral which shall include, without limitation, the securities described on
SCHEDULE A hereto, all as set forth in the Pledge Agreement as amended hereby.

<PAGE>

         2. COLLATERAL MAINTENANCE. The Collateral Maintenance Requirements set
forth in Schedule C to the Pledge Agreement are hereby amended so that Debtor
shall be required to pledge additional collateral or repay Obligations if at any
time the Obligations as a percentage of market value of the Collateral are
greater than 60%. Accordingly, the figure "65%" appearing in the third line of
paragraph 1 of said SCHEDULE C is hereby deemed deleted and substituted therefor
is the figure "60%". In addition, for clarity sake, the word "Loan" appearing in
the 5th line of said paragraph is deemed deleted and substituted therefor is the
word "Obligations". Finally, for a release of Collateral to occur under
paragraph 2 of said SCHEDULE C, the Collateral Maintenance Requirement to be
satisfied thereunder is the requirement that the Obligations as a percentage of
market value of the Collateral shall be not greater than 50% after giving effect
to any such release.

         3. CERTAIN TERMS. The reference to "$80,000,000" in the preface to the
Pledge Agreement is hereby deemed to be "$300,000,000"; the Obligations shall
include all obligations due to Bank under the Allonge; the Collateral shall
include, without limitation, the collateral described in SCHEDULE A hereto; and
the term Note shall mean the Note as modified by the Allonge and as it may be
further modified or extended.

         4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All terms, provisions,
representations and warranties set forth in the Pledge Agreement are true and
correct as of the date hereof and shall apply to, and are true and correct with
respect to, the Collateral described on SCHEDULE A hereto including the
representations of Borrower set forth in clauses (e) and (f) of Paragraph 2 of
the Pledge Agreement.

         5. NO DEFAULT OR OFFSET. Debtor represents and warrants to Bank that
there is currently no default or Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under
the Note or the Pledge Agreement. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that there are
no offsets, defenses, crossclaims or counterclaims to the Obligations, and to
the extent any such offset, defense, crossclaim or counterclaim exists, same are
hereby irrevocably waived.

<PAGE>

         6. RATIFICATION. Except as amended hereby, all of the terms and
provisions of the Pledge Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Pledgor and Bank have executed this Confirmation as
of the day and year first above written.

                                    DEBTOR:
