1. Organization and Nature of Operations

2. Reorganization Under Bankruptcy Code

Historically, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, which have been driven by continuing development efforts, including the introduction of new services such as digital video, telephone and internet. Additionally, substantial capital expenditures have been required to deploy these services and to acquire businesses. Management expects the Company to incur operating losses at least through 2004, primarily as a result of the continued introduction of these new services, which are in the early stages of deployment, as well as continued depreciation expense.

Defaults and Waivers

In 2002, viewing the Company's funding requirements and the Company's possible lack of access to debt and equity capital in the near term, UPC determined that it would not make interest payments on its senior notes and senior discount notes as they fell due. On February 1, 2002, UPC failed to make required interest payments in the aggregate amount of 113.0 million (USD 100.6 million) on its outstanding 10⁷/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 11¹/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and 11¹/2% Senior Notes due 2010. The indentures related to UPC's senior notes and senior discount notes provide that failing to make interest payments constitutes an "Event of Default" under the notes if UPC is in default of the payment of interest on any of the notes for a period of time in excess of 30 days. Since UPC failed to make the interest payments on the first three series of notes, upon expiration of this 30-day grace period on March 3, 2002, Events of Default occurred under the related indentures. The occurrence of these Events of Default constituted cross Events of Default under the indentures related to the remaining series of senior notes and senior discount notes. The occurrence of the various Events of Default gives the trustees under the related indentures, or requisite number of holders of such notes, the right to accelerate the maturity of all of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes. In addition, on May 1, 2002, August 1, 2002, November 1, 2002,

February 1, 2003 and May 1, 2003, the Company failed to make required interest payments in the aggregate amount of 38.9 million, 123.5 million, 36.5 million, 117.8 million and 34.2 million, respectively, on its outstanding 10⁷/8% Senior Notes due 2007 and 11¹/4% Senior Notes due 2009, 10⁷/8% Senior Notes due 2009, and 11¹/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and 11¹/2% Senior Notes due 2010. Neither the trustees for the defaulted notes nor the requisite number of holders of those notes accelerated the payment of principal and interest under those notes.

UPC's failure to make these interest payments on its senior notes, and the resulting Events of Default under the indentures relating to the senior notes and senior discount notes, gave rise to potential cross events of default under the following credit and loan facilities:

•: the senior secured credit facility among UPC Distribution Holding B.V., UPC's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary ("UPC Distribution"), as Borrower, TD Bank Europe Limited and Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc., as Facility Agents, and a group of banks and financial institutions (the "UPC Distribution Bank Facility");
•: the revolving loan facility among EWT Elektro & Nachrichtentechnik GmbH, UPC's then majority-owned subsidiary ("EWT"), as Borrower, a group of entities as Guarantors, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc ("RBS") as Facility Agent and Security Agent and a group of financial institutions (the "EWT Facility"); and
•: the USD 856.8 million 6% Guaranteed Discount Notes due 2007 issued under the loan agreement among Belmarken Holding B.V. ("Belmarken"), UPC, UPC Internet Holding B.V. and Liberty Belmarken, Inc. as the original lender (the "Exchangeable Loan"). The Exchangeable Loan was transferred to United in January 2002.

The UPC Distribution Bank Facility is secured by share pledges to the banks on UPC Distribution Holding B.V., which is the holding company of most companies within the UPC Distribution group, and over certain operating companies within this group. The Exchangeable Loan is secured by pledges over the stock of Belmarken, its wholly owned subsidiary UPC Holding B.V., and UPC Internet Holding B.V., which ownschello broadband N.V. The Company's interest in EWT is held indirectly through UPC Germany GmbH ("UPC Germany"), in which the Company held a 51% interest until July 30, 2002 upon which date the EWT Facility was refinanced by the majority shareholder. The occurrence of matured cross events of default under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility and the Exchangeable Loan would have given the creditors under those facilities the right to accelerate the maturity of the loans and to foreclose upon the collateral securing the loans.

On March 4, 2002, UPC received the first waivers from the lenders under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility, the EWT Facility and the Exchangeable Loan for the potential cross events of defaults under such facilities that existed or may have existed as a result of its failure to make the interest payment due on February 1, 2002 on its outstanding 10⁷/8% Senior Notes due 2009, 11¹/4% Senior Notes due 2010 and 11¹/2% Senior Notes due 2010 within the applicable cure periods and any resulting cross defaults. During the period from June 4, 2002 to September 27, 2002, the Company received bi-weekly waivers from the bank lenders and United. On September 27, 2002, the bank lenders and United extended the coverage of the waivers to all its outstanding senior notes and senior discount notes and any resulting cross defaults,

and the duration of the waivers until March 31, 2003. By entering into the Restructuring Agreement described below, the Company received an extension of the waiver for the Exchangeable Loan until at least September 3, 2003. Pursuant to a letter dated April 4, 2003, the bank lenders extended the duration of the waiver until September 30, 2003.

The bank waiver will remain effective until the earlier of

•: September 30, 2003;
•: in the event an appeal is brought before the Dutch Supreme Court in relation to the decision of the Amsterdam Court of March 13, 2003 (such an appeal was filed on April 23, 2003), whereby theAkkoord was ratified, the date falling eleven business days after a judgment by the Dutch Supreme Court in relation to such appeal is rendered and has become final and conclusive;
•: if a Dutch Court, a Dutch Court of Appeals or the Dutch Supreme Court renders a judgment that has become final and conclusive that annuls or otherwise reverses or overturns the decision of the Amsterdam Court of March 13, 2003, whereby theAkkoord was ratified or that otherwise has the effect that theAkkoord is no longer effective or cannot be implemented; or
•: the occurrence of any other Event of Default under the respective credit or loan facility that is not covered by the waiver.

In addition, each of these waivers contains certain other conditions and undertakings and will terminate if there is a default by UPC of the terms of that waiver. The waiver under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility originally subjected UPC to a 100 million drawdown limitation under that facility, subject to certain conditions, during the period in which the waiver is in place. As of May 2, 2003, the Company has met the conditions, as a result, no further limitations on the drawdown under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility exists. In addition, the waiver to the UPC Distribution Bank Facility includes amendments to the UPC Distribution Bank Facility which

•: increase operational headroom for the UPC Distribution group by increasing and extending the maximum permitted ratios of senior debt to annualized EBITDA and by lowering and extending the minimum required ratios of EBITDA to total cash interest and EBITDA to senior debt service;
•: increase the interest margin on outstanding loans under the facility by 1.5%;
•: include a fee of 0.25% on the total commitment amount; and
•: reduce the total commitment amount under the facility to 3.5 billion.

Agreement for Restructuring

On February 1, 2002, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with United and its subsidiary, UGC Holdings ("the Memorandum of Understanding"). The Memorandum of Understanding is a non-binding agreement in principle with United and UGC Holdings to enter into negotiations with the holders of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes to attempt to reach agreement on a means to restructure its indebtedness at the holding company level.

During the month of March 2002, UPC met with representatives of United, which currently holds the Exchangeable Loan and a significant portion of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes, and a steering committee representing the holders of the Company's senior notes and senior discount notes (other than United) to begin preliminary discussions with respect to a process for, and terms of, a restructuring of those notes and the Exchangeable Loan. United and its advisors and the steering committee and its advisors completed the due diligence about the Company and the Company's current financial condition.

On September 30, 2002, the Company announced that a binding agreement ("the Restructuring Agreement") had been reached with United and the members of the ad hoc noteholders committee on a recapitalization plan for the Company. If implemented under its current terms, the agreed recapitalization will substantially delever its balance sheet eliminating approximately 4.0 billion accreted value of senior notes and senior discount notes, accrued interest on the senior notes of 0.3 billion, 0.9 billion of Exchangeable Loan debt, and 1.7 billion of convertible preference shares (all amounts as of March 31, 2003) in exchange for equity issued by a newly formed Delaware corporation, New UPC, Inc. ("New UPC"). The Restructuring Agreement consists primarily of the following key terms:

•: United will receive approximately 65.5% of New UPC's pro forma equity (subject to dilution under certain circumstances) for the exchange of its 1.4 billion in the Company's notes including accrued interest on the senior notes and its 0.9 billion Exchangeable Loan as of March 31, 2003;
•: third-party noteholders will receive approximately 32.5% of New UPC's pro forma equity for the exchange of their holding of 2.6 billion of the Company's notes (including accrued interest on the senior notes) as of March 31, 2003;
•: approximately 2% of New UPC's pro forma equity will be available for the Company's existing preferred and ordinary shareholders, including United;
•: in addition, United agreed to purchase up to 100 million (the "Maximum Subscription Amount") in shares of New UPC ("New UPC Common Stock") at the consummation of the Company's restructuring, subject to reduction if it sold any assets or raised any non-dilutive capital in the interim. United agreed to purchase the stock at the valuation implied by the restructuring; and
•: the third-party noteholders would have certain board representation and minority rights in New UPC.

On April 9, 2003, UPC sold six million shares of SBS to UnitedGlobalCom Europe B.V. for 100 million. As the Company completed the sale of its SBS shares to United prior to the completion of the restructuring described below, the proceeds from the sale reduced the Maximum Subscription Amount to zero and, as a result, the Company's third-party noteholders do not have the right to subscribe for any shares of New UPC's common stock. UPC transferred the proceeds from the sale of the SBS shares to UPC Holding B.V., which, in turn, transferred these funds to UPC Distribution Holding B.V., as part of a 125 million funding contemplated in the UPC Distribution Bank Facility waiver.

Unless the parties agree to an extension, any party to the Restructuring Agreement may terminate its obligations under the agreement after September 3, 2003, the date nine months after the filing of the

Chapter 11 Case; however, no creditor may change or withdraw its acceptance or rejection of the Plan (as defined below) absent order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (as defined below) for cause shown.

The Plan of Reorganization

In order to effectuate the restructuring, on December 3, 2002 (the "Petition Date"), the Company filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 (the "Chapter 11 Case") of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "U.S. Bankruptcy Code") and the Company filed a pre-negotiated plan of reorganization, dated December 3, 2002 (the "Plan"), with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "U.S. Bankruptcy Court"). The first amended Plan was filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on December 23, 2002 and second amended Plan was filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on January 7, 2003. The Plan, as amended and modified by the first modifications dated February 18, 2003, was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on February 20, 2003. In general, the Plan provides for the transfer of New UPC common stock for various claims against, and equity interests in, the Company, as contemplated by the Memorandum of Understanding and Restructuring Agreement.

Akkoord

In order to achieve fully the restructuring, including the distributions contemplated by the Plan, it was also necessary to effect the restructuring under the laws of certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, including Dutch law. Accordingly, in conjunction with the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, on December 3, 2002, the Company commenced a moratorium of payments in The Netherlands under Dutch bankruptcy law (the "Dutch Bankruptcy Case"). On December 3, 2002, the Company filed a proposed plan of compulsory composition (the "Akkoord") with the Amsterdam Court (Rechtbank) (the "District Court") under the DutchFaillissementswet (the "Dutch Bankruptcy Code"). The Company submitted a revision to theAkkoord to the District Court on December 23, 2002 and a subsequent revision on January 7, 2003. The District Court ratified theAkkoord on March 13, 2003. On March 21, 2003, InterComm Holdings L.L.C. ("ICH"), a creditor in the Dutch moratorium proceeding with a EUR 1.00 claim and one vote, based on a claim against the Company, appealed the District Court's ratification of theAkkoord. On April 15, 2003, the Dutch Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment by the District Court of March 13, 2003 that ratified theAkkoord. On April 23, 2003, ICH appealed the ratification of theAkkoord to the Dutch Supreme Court. The Dutch Supreme Court has scheduled briefs to be submitted by May 23, 2003 and is expected to rule on the appeal expeditiously. UPC believes the appeal is without merit. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court has already overruled a similar objection brought by ICH in the parallel United States Chapter 11 process. UPC does not expect that this appeal will affect the successful completion of UPC's restructuring, which in all other respects has been finalized. The appeal, however, is expected to delay completion of the restructuring beyond June 30, 2003.

Dutch Implementing Offer

Unlike the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Dutch Bankruptcy Code does not provide for theAkkoord to reorganize or cancel any of the equity interests, ownership interests or shares in the Company. Therefore, in order to facilitate implementation of the Plan with respect to certain of the UPC Ordinary Shares A in accordance with Dutch law, New UPC commenced an offer, solely with respect to holders of UPC

Ordinary Shares A who were not U.S. Persons (as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), "U.S. Persons") and were not located or residing within the United States, to deliver shares of New UPC common stock to such holders of UPC Ordinary Shares A in consideration for the delivery by such holders of their UPC Ordinary Shares A to New UPC (the "Dutch Implementing Offer").

Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders

Similarly, the Dutch Bankruptcy Code does not provide for the Dutch Bankruptcy Case to exempt compliance from otherwise applicable corporate law. Therefore, in order to facilitate implementation of the Plan, the Company held an extraordinary meeting of the holders of the UPC Ordinary Shares A, the UPC Priority Shares and the UPC Preference Shares A (the "Extraordinary General Meeting") to approve certain amendments to the Company's Articles of Association and other shareholder proposals (the "Shareholder Proposals").

At UPC's Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders, which was held on February 19, 2003, the following amendments were adopted:

•

proposal to amend the Company's Articles of Association (the "First Amendment") to

(i): decrease the nominal value of each issued and outstanding UPC Ordinary Share A from 1.00 to 0.02 without repayment; and
(ii): decrease the nominal value of each UPC Priority Share and UPC Preference Share A from 1.00 to 0.02 without repayment.

•

proposal to amend the Company's Articles of Association (the "Second Amendment") to

(i): decrease the number of authorized UPC Ordinary Shares A to 450,000,000;
(ii): remove the UPC Preference Shares A from the authorized capital of the Company;
(iii): authorize a new class of 50,000,000,000 registered Ordinary Shares C ("UPC Ordinary Shares C") with a nominal value of 0.02;
(iv): in the event Dutch law allows the issuance of nonvoting stock, prohibit the issuance of nonvoting stock and prohibit cooperation in connection with the issuance of depository receipts; and
(v): remove the UPC Ordinary Shares B and the UPC Preference Shares B from the authorized capital of the Company;

•

proposal to convert the UPC Preference Shares A on a one-for-one basis into registered UPC Ordinary Shares A, effective upon the Second Amendment and the Effective Date;

•

proposal to amend the Company's Articles of Association (effective on the later to occur of the Effective Date and the date of the delisting of the UPC Ordinary Shares A from Euronext Amsterdam N.V.) (the "Third Amendment") to provide that the Company will have Articles of Association of a non-listed company, including,inter alia, provisions:

(i): allowing registered shares;
(ii): restricting transfers of shares;
(iii): amending the management structure of the Company to a one-tier board (i.e., that the Company's Supervisory Board will be eliminated, the holders of the UPC Priority Shares will have certain rights with respect to the Company's Board of Management and the Company's Board of Management will consist of one or more members);
(iv): authorizing holders of UPC Ordinary Shares A to exercise the rights attached to their UPC Ordinary Shares A only upon exchange of their bearer UPC Ordinary Shares A into registered UPC Ordinary Shares A; and
(v): as soon as all the Company's issued shares in the Company are held by one shareholder, converting each issued UPC Priority Shares into one UPC Ordinary Share C, and all powers of the holders of the UPC Priority Shares under UPC's Articles of Association of the Company vesting, to the extent possible, in the general meeting of shareholders of the Company.

Summary of Status of the Restructuring

As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the restructuring of the Company has not been completed, but is in the final stages. The Plan, which provides for the transfer of New UPC common stock for various claims against, and equity interests in the Company, has been confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. In addition, theAkkoord, which was filed to effect the restructuring under Dutch law, has been ratified by the District Court. An appeal was filed against the ratification of theAkkoord, and on April 15, 2003, the Dutch Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment by the District Court. On April 23, 2003, a further appeal was filed with the Dutch Supreme Court, but the Company believes it is without merit and intends to oppose it vigorously. The Dutch Supreme Court has scheduled briefs to be submitted by May 23, 2003. The Dutch Implementing Offer, which was scheduled to expire on April 24, 2003, has been extended to June 30, 2003. The Dutch Implementing Offer will become unconditional on the Effective Date of the Plan and the settlement of the Dutch Implementing Offer will occur no later than five Euronext business days after the Dutch Implementing Offer becomes unconditional. Certain amendments to UPC's Articles of Association were adopted during an Extraordinary General Meeting of its shareholders. One of the amendments was effective immediately, two amendments will become effective upon the Effective Date of the Plan and the remaining amendments will become effective upon the later to occur of the effective date of the Plan and the date of the delisting of the Company's Ordinary

Shares A from Euronext Amsterdam. The Plan and theAkkoord are expected to become effective and the Company's restructuring complete soon after the appeal against theAkkoord is resolved. From and after the Effective Date of the Plan, the Company expects to operate its businesses and properties as a reorganized entity pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

UPC believes subscriber growth has been impacted in some countries by the Company's financial restructuring; however, the Company believes the restructuring has not had a material adverse effect on its subsidiaries or its relationships with suppliers and employees.

UPC has experienced net losses since formation. As of March 31, 2003, as a result of the events of default and potential cross events of default as described above, UPC's senior notes, senior discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan and the UPC Distribution Bank Facility have been classified as current liabilities and there is substantial uncertainty whether UPC's sources of capital, working capital and projected operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund the Company's expenditures and service the Company's indebtedness over the next year. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. UPC's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on (i) completion of the restructuring and (ii) UPC's ability to generate the cash flows required to enable it to recover the carrying value of the Company's assets and satisfy the Company's liabilities, in the normal course of business, at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements. Due to the uncertainty of UPC's ability to continue as a going concern, the Report of Independent Accountant in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, includes a modification in this respect. Following the successful completion of the planned restructuring, UPC believes that the Company will have sufficient sources of capital, working capital and operating cash flows to enable the Company to continue as a going concern.

As part of the Plan, the Company has rejected certain leases and contracts, as allowed by the Bankruptcy Code.

3. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

As discussed in Note 2, the Company filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S Bankruptcy Code and the Company filed a Plan with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. In order to fully achieve the restructuring, including the distributions contemplated by the Plan, it was also necessary to effect the restructuring under the laws of certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, including Dutch law. Accordingly, in conjunction with the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, on December 3, 2002, the Company commenced a moratorium of payments in The Netherlands under Dutch bankruptcy law. The petition affects only the Company's Dutch corporate parent and does not include any of its subsidiaries. UPC is operating its business as a debtor-in-possession.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities and commitments in the normal cause of business. As a result of the Company's recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency, and the Chapter 11 Case and related circumstances, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to significant uncertainty. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on, among other things, its ability to successfully complete the financial restructuring and maintain business and financial operations consistent with those expected in the Plan (see Note 2).

While operating as a debtor-in-possession, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Further, the Plan could materially change the amounts and classifications reported in the consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the Chapter 11 Case, the Company is required to prepare its consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2003, in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under Bankruptcy Code ("SOP 90-7"), issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In accordance with SOP 90–7, all of the Company's pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise under the proposed Plan are segregated in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as liabilities and convertible preferred stock subject to compromise. These liabilities and the convertible preferred stock are recorded at the amounts expected to be allowed as claims in the Chapter 11 Case rather than at the estimated amounts for which those allowed claims may be settled as a result of the approval of the Plan. The amounts for Chapter 11 related reorganization expenses included in the consolidated debtor-in-possession statement of operations consist of professional fees of 7.6 million for the three months period ended March 31, 2003.

Liabilities and convertible preferred stock included in the consolidated debtor-in-possession balance sheet as of March 31, 2003, which are subject to compromise under the terms of the Plan, are summarized as follows (in thousands of Euros):

Cinenova		11,667
Philips		25,222

	Total accounts payable	36,889

Accrued interest		342,309

July 1999 notes		1,465,803
October 1999 notes		1,000,295
January 2000 notes		1,554,022
The Exchangeable Loan		861,581

	Total senior notes, senior discount notes and other debt (see Note 7)	4,881,701

Convertible preferred stock		1,664,689

	Total liabilities subject to compromise	6,925,588

In accordance with SOP 90–7 interest expense is reported only to the extent that it will be paid during the bankruptcy proceedings or that it is an allowed claim. The interest expense allowed as a claim is nil for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The contractual interest expense is 122.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145,Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 required the Company to reclassify gains and losses associated with the extinguishment of debt from extraordinary classification to other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, a total of 124.5 million in gains associated with the extinguishment of debt is included in other income (expense).

New Accounting Principles

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). This statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and reported as a liability. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has adopted SFAS 143 and determined, that based on its analyses, that although it has asset

retirement obligations relating to certain contracts, it cannot make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability due to the contingent nature of the obligation and uncertainty about the timing of the settlement, if any. To date, the Company has not made any cash payments with respect to the settlement of any potential asset retirement obligation.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 46 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, ("APB 25"). The Company has provided pro forma disclosures of net loss as if the fair value based method of accounting for these plans, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, ("SFAS 123"), had been applied. SFAS 123 is amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure and Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 ("SFAS 148"). The intrinsic value method results in compensation expense for the difference between the grant price and the fair market value at each new measurement date. In addition, the Company,chello broadband andPriority Telecom have stock-based compensation plans which are equivalent to stock appreciation rights. Accordingly, variable plan accounting is used in which compensation expense and deferred compensation is recorded based on the difference between the grant price and the market value of the underlying shares at each financial statement date. For our plans, which follow fixed plan accounting, compensation expense and deferred compensation is recorded based on the difference between the grant price and the market value of the underlying shares at grant date. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123.

Based upon Black-Scholes single option pricing model, the total aggregate fair value of options granted was nil for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The amount of the total aggregate fair values is being amortized using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the options. Cumulative compensation expense recognized in pro forma net income, with respect to options that are forfeited prior to vesting, is adjusted as a reduction of pro forma compensation expense in the period of forfeiture. Stock-based compensation, net of the effect of forfeitures and net of actual compensation expense recorded in the statement of operations, was 17.3 million and 20.4 million, for the three month period ended March 31,

2003 and March 31, 2002, respectively. This stock-based compensation had the following pro forma effect on net income (in thousands):

4. Acquisition, Disposition and Other

Tevel

UPC's 100% indirect subsidiary, Cable Network Zuid-oost Brabant Holding B.V. ("Cable Brabant"), holds through its 100% subsidiary U.C.T. Netherlands B.V. ("UCTN") and its 100% subsidiary, Tishdoret Achzakot Ltd ("Tishdoret"), a 46% interest in Tevel Israel Communications Ltd. ("Tevel") the largest cable operator in Israel. The economic and regulatory situation in Israel together with the instability in the region led the Company to write the value of this minority investment down to zero at the year end 2001. On April 22, 2002, Tevel filed for court protection from creditors and a trustee was appointed by the Israeli Court to form a plan of reorganization. In connection with the original acquisition of the cable assets in Israel, Cable Brabant is indebted to the First International Bank of Israel in the principal amount of 55 million ("the FiBI loan"), which was due, together with accrued interest, on November 9, 2002. The FiBI loan is secured by a pledge of half of the shares in Tevel. UPC's indirect subsidiary Cable Brabant sold all of its material assets (including the shares in UCTN, and indirectly the shares in Tishdoret and Tevel) to the First International Bank of Israel. The parties consider this to be the full repayment of the FiBI loan of approximately 69 million. This transaction closed on February 24, 2003, resulting in a gain of approximately 69 million from the extinguishment of this obligation.

⁽¹⁾: As discussed in Note 2 "Reorganization Under Bankruptcy Code", since March 3, 2002, the Company has been in default under its senior notes and senior discount notes and has received short term waivers with respect to the UPC Distribution Bank Facility and the Exchangeable Loan. Accordingly, these borrowings have been reclassified to the current portion of long-term debt. All non- Euro denominated borrowings are recorded each period using the period end spot rate with the result being recorded as foreign exchange gain or loss.

The UPC Polska Notes are currently classified as long term debt on the basis of waivers that UPC Polska has obtained regarding certain covenant violations, on loans it owes to the Company and its affiliates. These waivers extend until April 1, 2004, but are subject to early termination upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including termination of waivers on certain cross defaults on the Company's and its affiliates loans. If such cross defaults or other conditions were to occur and would not be cured, the waivers on UPC Polska's loans from the Company and its affiliates could terminate, which in turn could allow the UPC Polska Notes to be accelerated.

8. Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees

The Company has entered into agreements that contain features, which meet the definition of a guarantee under FIN 45. FIN 45 defines a guarantee to be a contract that contingently requires the Company to make payments (either in cash, financial instruments, other assets, common shares of the Company or through provision of services) to a third party based upon changes in an underlying economic characteristic (such as interest rates or market value) that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity

security of the other party. The Company has the following major types of guarantees that are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45:

Business sale agreements

In connection with agreements for the sale of portions of the Company's business, including certain discontinued operations, the Company typically retained the liabilities of a business, which relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. The Company generally indemnifies the purchaser of its business in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by the Company. These types of indemnification guarantees typically extend for a number of years.

The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification guarantees as the business sale agreements do not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and the likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time.

Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees.

Lease agreements

The Digital Media Center ("DMC") sub-lease transponder capacity to a third party. Under this sub-lease agreement, the Company guaranteed certain performance criteria. These issued performance guarantees are fully matched with the guarantees received under the lease agreements between UPC and the third party.

Indemnification of lenders and agents under credit facilities

Under its credit facilities, the Company has agreed to indemnify its lenders under such facilities against costs or losses resulting from changes in laws and regulation, which would increase the lenders' costs, and for legal action brought against the lenders. These indemnifications generally extend for the term of the credit facilities and do not provide for any limit on the maximum potential liability.

Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no material amounts have been accrued in the accompanying financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees.

Other indemnification agreements

The DMC has third party contracts for the play out of channels from the DMC, which require the DMC to perform according to industry standard practice, with penalties attached should performance drop below the agreed criteria. Additionally, UPC Media's interactive service group also entered into third party contracts for the delivery of interactive content with certain performance criteria guarantees.

The Company has certain franchise obligations under which the Company must meet performance requirements to construct networks under certain circumstances. Non-performance of these obligations could result in penalties being levied against the Company. The Company continues to meet its obligations so as not to incur such penalties.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides customers with certain performance guarantees, should a service outage occur in excess of a certain period in time, UPC will compensate those customers for the outage.

Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under any of these indemnifications or guarantees. In certain cases, due to the nature of the agreement, the Company has not been able to estimate its maximum potential loss, the maximum potential loss has not been specified.

Litigation and Claims

The following is a description of certain legal proceedings to which UPC or one of UPC's subsidiaries is a party. In addition, from time to time, UPC may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of the Company's business. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on UPC's subsidiaries' business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. As these legal proceedings are resolved, to the extent that UPC has any liability and such liability is owed by the Company, and to the extent the Plan and Akkoord become effective, UPC will distribute shares of New UPC Common Stock as provided under the Plan and theAkkoord in satisfaction of such claim.

On July 4, 2001, InterComm Holdings L.L.C., InterComm France CVOHA ("ICF I"), InterComm France II CVOHA ("ICF II"), and Reflex Participations ("Reflex"), collectively with ICF I and ICF II, the "ICF Party") served a demand for arbitration on UPC, UGC Holdings, and its subsidiaries, Belmarken and UPC France Holding B.V. The claimants allege breaches of obligations allegedly owed by UPC in connection with the ICF Party's position as a minority shareholder in Médiaréseaux S.A. The claimants seek relief in the nature of immediate acceleration of an alleged right to require UPC or an affiliate to purchase all or any of the remaining shares in Médiareséaux S.A. from the ICF Party and/or compensatory damages, but in either case for a maximum of 192 million, plus reasonable fees and costs. The ICF Party has not specified from which entity it is seeking such relief however, UGC Holdings is not a party to any agreement with the claimants and has been dismissed from the proceedings. UPC and its affiliates, as respondents, deny these claims. UPC is vigorously defending the arbitration proceedings and has filed appropriate counter claims. The ICF party withdrew its claims on January 31, 2003; this arbitration is however still pending as a result of the decision of UPC and its affiliates to maintain their counterclaims. On February 14, 2003, the ICF Party served a new demand for arbitration on UPC, Belmarken and UPC France in which the ICF Party filed again claims similar to those withdrawn on January 31, 2003. UPC and its affiliates have answered such new demand for arbitration on April 29, 2003 and will, again deny vigorously the merit of these claims.

On December 3, 2002, UPC filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. For further details, please see Note 2 "Reorganization Under Bankruptcy Code".

In order to achieve fully the restructuring contemplated by the Plan under the U.S. Chapter 11 Case, including the distributions contemplated by the Plan, it was also necessary to effect the restructuring under the laws of certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, including Dutch law. Accordingly, in conjunction with the commencement of the U.S. Chapter 11 Case, on December 3, 2002, UPC commenced the "Dutch Bankruptcy Case. On December 3, 2002, UPC filed theAkkoord with the "Dutch Bankruptcy Court" under the Dutch Bankruptcy Code. UPC submitted a revision to theAkkoord to the Dutch Bankruptcy Court on December 23, 2002 and a subsequent revision on January 7, 2003. The Dutch Bankruptcy Court ratified theAkkoord on March 13, 2003. On March 21, 2003, InterComm Holdings L.L.C. ("ICH"), a creditor in the Dutch moratorium proceeding with a EUR 1.00 claim and one vote, based on a claim against the Company, appealed the District Court's ratification of theAkkoord. On April 15, 2003, the Dutch Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment by the District Court of March 13, 2003 that ratified theAkkoord. On April 23, 2003, ICH appealed the ratification of theAkkoord to the Dutch Supreme Court. The Dutch Supreme Court has scheduled briefs to be submitted by May 23, 2003 and is expected to rule on the appeal expeditiously. UPC believes the appeal is without merit. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court has already overruled a similar objection brought by ICH in the parallel United States Chapter 11 process. UPC does not expect that this appeal will affect the successful completion of UPC's restructuring, which in all other respects has been finalized. The appeal, however, is expected to delay completion of the restructuring beyond June 30, 2003.

On December 3, 2002, Europe Movieco Partners Limited ("Movieco") filed a request for arbitration (the "Request") against the Company with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. The Request contains claims, which are based on a cable affiliation agreement entered into between the parties on December 21, 1999 (the "CAA"). The arbitral proceedings were suspended from December 17, 2002 to March 18, 2003. They have been reactivated and are currently pending. Movieco claims (i) USD 11.3 million plus interest, (ii) USD 3.8 million (or such higher sum as may be due at the date of the award), plus interest (iii) legal and arbitration costs (iv) an order for specific performance of the CAA or, in the alternative, damages for breach of that agreement, to be assessed. UPC has denied the claims in their entirety and has filed counterclaims.

10. Segments and Geographic Information

The Company's business has historically been derived from cable television. Commencing in 1998, the Company began launching telephone and internet services over parts of its upgraded network. The Company is managed internally as three primary businesses, UPC Distribution, UPC Media andPriority Telecom (with the UPC Media division managing thechello broadband and programming businesses). UPC Distribution focuses on providing cable television, DTH, internet and telephone services to residential customers and is comprised of the local operating systems. UPC Media includes,chello broadband, the internet access provider, and UPCtv, which provides video content and programming as well as UPC's digital products. UPC Media provides broadband internet and interactive digital products and services, transactional television services such as pay per view movies, digital broadcast and post production services, and thematic channels for distribution on our network, third party networks and DTH platforms.Priority Telecom is focused on providing telephone and internet services to business customers. In 2003, UPC has formed an Investment Division, which manages UPC's non-consolidated investment assets.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the results of these divisions. The key operating performance criteria used in this evaluation include revenue growth and "Adjusted EBITDA". Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure. The most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is income (loss) before income taxes and other items. Adjusted EBITDA represents net operating earnings before depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation charges, and impairment and restructuring charges. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures used by the Company's chief decision makers to measure the Company's operating results and to measure segment profitability and performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors because it provides an analysis of operating results using the same measures used by the Company's chief decision makers, that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with the means to evaluate the financial results of the Company compared to other companies within the same industry and it is common practice for institutional investors and investment bankers to use various multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of estimating current or prospective enterprise value. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to GAAP measure of income as a measure of performance, or to cash flows from operating investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash and cash stock-based compensation charges, which result from the Company's and its subsidiaries' stock option and phantom stock option plans.

11. Impairment and Restructuring Charges

During 2001, in reviewing the current and long-range plan, the Company implemented a Company-wide restructuring plan to both lower operating expenses and strengthen its competitive and

financial position. Management began implementation of the plan during the second half of 2001 by eliminating certain employee positions, reducing office space and related overhead expenses, recognizing losses related to excess capacity under certain contracts and cancellation of certain programming contracts.

The following table summarizes these costs by type and related segment of the business as per March 31, 2003.

12. Other Income (Expense)

The other income of 66.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, relates primarily to the gain on the Tevel transaction (see Note 4). The other expense of 62.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, consists primarily of a gain relating to the restructuring and cancellation of costs associated with excess capacity of certainPriority Telecom vendor contracts of 124.5 million and a loss of 177.8 million in connection with the mark-to-market valuations of our cross currency and interest rate derivative contracts from period to period.

14. Subsequent Events

Polish Restructuring

UPC Polska has met with representatives of UPC (which through subsidiaries holds debt obligations of UPC Polska) and certain holders of the UPC Polska Notes (other than UPC and its affiliates) to discuss a process for, and terms of, a restructuring of those obligations and notes. UPC and its advisors and the noteholders and their advisors have had substantive discussions with UPC Polska about the terms of a possible debt restructuring. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, UPC Polska has not entered into a definitive agreement with either UPC, its affiliates or the noteholders' regarding the terms of a debt restructuring.

Cross Currency swaps

In November 2002, UPC's cross currency swaps on UPC Distribution Bank Facility were frozen at a settlement price of 64.6 million. Of the 64.6 million obligation, 12.0 million has been paid with the remaining 52.6 million being recorded under short-term debt as per March 31, 2003. As per May 15, 2003, 41.5 million of this obligation has been repaid.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements may include, and be identified by statements concerning our future plans and strategies, objectives and future economic prospects, expectations, beliefs, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts, such as our contemplated restructuring. These forward-looking statements involve both known and unanticipated risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from what we say or imply with the 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 the timing, cost, and effectiveness of technological developments, competitive factors, our ability to complete announced transactions and to manage and grow our newer telephone, digital and internet/data services. With respect to our announced restructuring, these factors include our ability to successfully complete the restructuring as anticipated. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the time of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and we have no obligation or plans to provide updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements or any other changes in events or circumstances on which these forward-looking statements are based.

The report of our independent public accountants KPMG Accountants N.V. on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, includes a paragraph that states that we are currently under bankruptcy court supervision in both the United States and in the Netherlands, have suffered substantial recurring losses from operations, are currently in default under certain of our senior notes and senior discount notes, obtained waivers from the lenders under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility and the Exchangeable Loan for potential events of cross defaults, and have a net capital deficiency. Management expects the Company to incur operating losses at least through 2004. Accordingly there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result, should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Investors in our company should review carefully the report of KPMG Accountants N.V. There can be no assurance we will be able to continue as a going concern.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations covers the three month period ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, and should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. These consolidated financial statements provide additional information regarding our financial activities and condition.

All monetary amounts in Management's Discussion and Analysis are stated in Euros, unless indicated otherwise. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in Item 2–Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have the meanings given to them in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I–Financial Statements.

Reorganization Under Bankruptcy Code

For information regarding the reorganization under bankruptcy code, see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Summary of Status of the Restructuring

As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our restructuring has not been completed, but is in the final stages. The Plan, which provides for the transfer of New UPC common stock

for various claims against, and interests in our equity, has been confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. In addition, theAkkoord, which was filed to effect the restructuring under Dutch law, has been ratified by the District Court. An appeal was filed against the ratification of theAkkoord, and on April 15, 2003, the Dutch Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment by the District Court. On April 23, 2003, a further appeal was filed with the Dutch Supreme Court, but we believe it is without merit and intend to oppose it vigorously. The Dutch Supreme Court has scheduled briefs to be submitted by May 23, 2003. The Dutch Implementing Offer, which was scheduled to expire on April 24, 2003, has been extended to June 30, 2003. The Dutch Implementing Offer will become unconditional on the Effective Date of the Plan and the settlement of the Dutch Implementing Offer will occur no later than five Euronext business days after the Dutch Implementing Offer becomes unconditional. Certain amendments to our Articles of Association were adopted during an Extraordinary General Meeting of our shareholders. One of the amendments was effective immediately, two amendments will become effective upon the effective date of the Plan and the remaining amendments will become effective upon the later to occur of the effective date of the Plan and the date of the delisting of the our Ordinary Shares A from Euronext Amsterdam. The Plan and theAkkoord are expected to become effective and our restructuring complete soon after the appeal against theAkkoord is resolved. From and after the Effective Date of the Plan, we expect to operate our businesses and properties as a reorganized entity pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

We believe subscriber growth has been impacted in some countries by our financial restructuring; however, we believe the restructuring has not had a material adverse effect on our subsidiaries or our relationships with suppliers and employees.

We have experienced net losses since formation. As of March 31, 2003, as a result of the events of default and potential cross events of default as described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein., our senior notes, senior discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan and the UPC Distribution Bank Facility have been classified as current liabilities and there is substantial uncertainty whether our sources of capital, working capital and projected operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund our expenditures and service our indebtedness over the next year. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on (i) completion of the restructuring and (ii) our ability to generate the cash flows required to enable us to recover the carrying value of our assets and satisfy our liabilities, in the normal course of business, at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements. Due to the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern, the Report of Independent Accountant in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, includes a modification in this respect. Following the successful completion of the planned restructuring, we believe that we will have sufficient sources of capital, working capital and operating cash flows to enable us to continue as a going concern.

Description of Business

We own and operate broadband communications networks in 11 countries in Europe. Our operations are organized into three principal divisions: UPC Distribution, UPC Media andPriority Telecom. UPC Distribution delivers video, internet and telephone services to residential customers (the "Triple Play"). UPC Media provides broadband internet and interactive digital products and services, transactional television services such as pay per view movies, digital broadcast and post production services, and thematic channels for distribution on our network, third party networks and DTH platforms.Priority Telecom operates our competitive local exchange carrier ("CLEC") business and provides telephone and data network solutions to the business market. ThePriority Telecom brand is also used to offer telephone services to residential customers through UPC Distribution. In addition, as part of the ongoing realignment of the business, we have formed an Investments Division, which will manage our non-consolidated investment assets. We continue to focus on rationalizing our investment portfolio to maximize value.

Our subscriber base is one of the largest of any group of broadband communications networks operated across Europe. Our goal is to enhance our position as a leading pan-European distributor of video programming services and to become a leading pan-European provider of telephone, internet and enhanced video services, offering a one-stop shopping solution for residential and business communication needs. We plan to execute on this goal by increasing the penetration of our new services, such as digital video, telephone and internet, primarily within our existing customer base.

Since formation, we have developed largely through acquisitions and organic growth in new services, which have resulted in significant growth in our consolidated revenues and expenditures.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue increased 12.8 million, or 3.7%, from 346.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to 359.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

UPC Distribution. Revenue for UPC Distribution increased 11.6 million from 326.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to 338.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, a 3.6% increase. This increase is attributable to:

•: an increase of 2.7% in consolidated revenue generating units, or "RGU's", from 7,856,600 to 8,068,500;
•: an increase of 5.9% in the average monthly revenue per RGU from 12.97 to 13.74;
•: an increase in cable television and digital revenue of 8.2 million, due to improved average revenue per unit and a 0.5% increase in the number of consolidated video and digital subscribers from 6,715,900 to 6,749,500;
•: a decrease in telephony revenue of 1.2 million, due to a slight decrease in average revenue per unit combined with a 0.5% decrease in the number of consolidated telephony subscribers from 464,600 to 462,200;
•: an increase in internet revenue of 18.4 million, due to improved average revenue per unit and a 25.1% increase in the number of consolidated internet subscribers from 564,500 to 706,100;
•: a decrease in Germany revenue of 12.5 million, due to the deconsolidation of Germany effective August 1, 2002;

•: a decrease in Other revenue of 3.4 million due to a reduction in the amount of services UPC Distribution provided toPriority Telecom.

Priority Telecom. Revenue forPriority Telecom decreased 5.5 million from 32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to 26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease is attributable to:

•: a decrease of 3.0 million, caused by the termination of revenue from calls from subscribers of other telecom operators thatPriority Telecom connected;
•: price erosion in a continuing weak wholesale market; and
•: termination of revenue from mainly small and medium enterprises during 2002.

UPC Media. Revenue for UPC Media increased 2.2 million from 18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to 20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase is attributable to:

•: an increase of 25.1% in the number of consolidated internet subscribers from 564,500 to 706,100, which is partly offset by
•: a decrease of 1.1 million in revenue due to the liquidation of Tara Television.

Intercompany eliminations. Intercompany eliminations decreased by 4.5 million from 31.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to 26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

•: a decrease of 0.4 million in UPC Media's SG&A expenses primarily due to cost savings across expense lines due to stringent cost controls; and
•: a decrease of 2.9 million in stock-based compensation expense, which is mainly due to cancellations of regular options.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure. The most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is income (loss) before income taxes and other items. Adjusted EBITDA represents net operating earnings before depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation charges, and impairment and restructuring charges. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures used by our chief decision makers to measure our operating results and to measure segment profitability and performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors because it provides an analysis of operating results using the same measures used by our chief decision makers, that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with the means to evaluate the financial results of us compared to other companies within the same industry and that it is common practice for institutional investors and investment bankers to use various multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of estimating current or prospective enterprise value. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to GAAP measure of income as a measure of performance, or to cash flows from operating investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash and cash stock-based compensation charges, which result from variable plan accounting for certain of our subsidiaries' stock option and phantom stock option plans.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 51.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002 primarily due to increased revenues, improved gross margin and continued cost control across all our operating segments. The following table provides Adjusted EBITDA detail for our operating segments.

UPC Distribution. Adjusted EBITDA for UPC Distribution increased 36.4 million, or 55.9%, from 65.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to 101.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This movement is attributed to:

•: successfully driving higher service penetration in existing customers, improving economies of scale,and increased average revenue per unit;
•: improved gross margins brought about through continued negotiations with major vendors; and
•: cost reduction and control through continued improvements in processes and systems together with significant organizational rationalization.

Priority Telecom. Adjusted EBITDA forPriority Telecom improved by 7.3 million from negative 4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to positive 2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This movement is attributable to:

•: termination of non-profitable business lines;
•: the cessation of operations in non-profitable countries; and
•: strong cost control procedures that have been put into place to reduce operating expenses.

UPC Media. Adjusted EBITDA for UPC Media improved by 8.0 million from negative 5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to positive 2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This movement is attributable to:

•: continued focus on profitable revenue growth, stringent cost control and cost reduction across all expense lines within the UPC Media division and closure of channels; and
•: liquidation of Tara Television.

The following is a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss) before income taxes and other items for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002:

		For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2003		2002
		(In thousands of Euros)
Adjusted EBITDA		106,488		54,814
Depreciation and amortization		(166,616	)	(172,632	)
Impairment and restructuring charges		–	��	(3,943	)
Stock-based compensation		(3,893	)	(6,790	)

	Operating income (loss)	(64,021	)	(128,551	)
Interest income		3,569		5,985
Interest expense		(82,377	)	(230,205	)
Foreign exchange gain (loss)		133,355		(56,057	)
Other income (expense)		66,486		(62,429	)

	Income (loss) before income taxes and other items	57,012		(471,257	)

The improvement of our income (loss) before income taxes and other items from a loss of 471.3 million to income of 57.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, is

primarily attributable to the factors leading to improved Adjusted EBITDA, discussed above, and the decrease in interest expense and interest expense-related party, the increase in foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and the increase in other income (expense), discussed below.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, our depreciation and amortization expense decreased 6.0 million to 166.6 million from 172.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, a 3.5% decrease is due to the deconsolidation of UPC Germany as of August 1, 2002.

Interest Income

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, interest income decreased 2.4 million to 3.6 million from 6.0 million, a 40.4% decrease. The decrease primarily resulted from decreased cash balances.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, interest expense, including interest expense related party, decreased 147.8 million to 82.4 million, from 230.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002, a 64.2% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to the cessation of accruing interest on our senior notes and accreting interest on our senior discount notes on December 3, 2002, when we filed a petition of relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in accordance with SOP 90–7. Should our restructuring (as detailed above) be successful, these notes will be exchanged for equity in New UPC. In addition, the decrease in interest expense is attributable to an increase of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

Total Interest Expense		(82,377	)	(230,205	)

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

Foreign exchange gain (loss) and other expense reflect a gain of 133.4 million for three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to a loss of 56.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2002. The gain during 2003 was primarily a result of a significant foreign exchange gain on our dollar denominated senior notes as the euro strengthened against the U.S. dollar.

Other Income (Expense)

The other income of 66.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, relates primarily to the gain on the Tevel transaction (see Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements). The other expense of

62.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, consist of a gain relating to the restructuring and cancellation of costs associated with excess capacity of certainPriority Telecom vendor contracts of 124.5 million and a loss of 177.8 million in connection with the mark-to-market valuations of our cross currency and interest rate derivative contracts from period to period.

Reorganization Expenses, Net

In connection with the Chapter 11 Case, we are required to prepare our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002, in accordance with Statement of Position 90–7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code ("SOP 90–7"), issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The reorganization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 included professional fees of 7.6 million.

Share in Results of Affiliated Companies, Net

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, our share in net losses of affiliated companies decreased 18.8 million to 2.5 million from 21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, a 88.3% decrease. The decrease is primarily due to our investments in PrimaCom and SBS. No losses being recorded for PrimaCom during the first three months of 2003, as we had completely written off our investment in PrimaCom at June 30, 2002. Our losses in SBS decreased during 2003 as SBS showed improved financial results compared to 2002.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 142, which establishes that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever indicators of impairment arise. The adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002, resulted in a cumulative decrease of income of 1,498.9 million and a cumulative decrease of net goodwill of 1,498.9 million during the three months period ended March 31, 2002. The amount of net loss as shown for the first quarter of 2002 has been restated to include the effect of adoption of SFAS 142 of January 1, 2002. The following table represents the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle by reporting unit:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

�� Historically, we have financed our operations and acquisitions primarily from:

•: cash contributed by United Europe, Inc. upon our formation;
•: debt financed at the UPC corporate level and at the operating company level;
•: equity raised in our initial public offering, secondary offering and private offering of convertible preference shares;
•: debt raised in our July 1999, October 1999 and January 2000 offering of senior notes and senior discount notes;
•: proceeds raised from the May 2001 Exchangeable Loan entered into by our wholly-owned subsidiary Belmarken Holding B.V.; and
•: operating cash flow.

In general, we have been primarily dependent on the capital markets in the past to fund acquisitions, developing systems and products and corporate overhead, using the cash contributed by United Europe, Inc. upon formation and debt and equity raised at the holding company levels for such purposes. However, going forward we may not be able to access the capital markets as a source of capital. Our current plans do not anticipate such access, although we might access such markets if we were able and the terms of such financing were acceptable to us.

In addition, we have financed our systems from our UPC Distribution Bank Facility and with operating cash flow. Well-established systems generally have stable positive cable cash flows that are used to partially offset funding necessary for new product offerings, including telephone and internet/data. Developing systems are at various stages of construction and development and generally depend on us for some of the funding for their operating needs.

In 2003 and thereafter, we anticipate that the sources of capital possibly available to us will include working capital and operating cash flows, proceeds from the disposal of non-core investments, draw downs under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility and vendor financing. We do not anticipate access to the capital markets as a source of funding unless we are able to restructure our existing indebtedness. If we are able to complete our planned recapitalization satisfactorily and are able to implement a rationalization of our non-core investments and continue to improve our operating performance, we believe that our existing cash balances, our working capital and operating cash flow and draw downs available under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility will be sufficient to fund operations for the foreseeable future. Should our planned debt restructuring and recapitalization be unsuccessful or our operating results fall behind our current business plan, there will be uncertainty whether we have sufficient funds to meet our planned capital expenditures and/or existing debt commitments and it will be doubtful we are able to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity Requirements

As a result of our failure to pay interest when due on certain of our senior notes, the maturity of those notes, our senior discount notes, the Exchangeable Loan and the UPC Distribution Facility may be accelerated at any time, subject, in the case of the Exchangeable Loan, and the UPC Distribution Facility to conditional waivers granted by the holders of such indebtedness. Consequently, all such indebtedness has been classified as current portion of long-term debt.

The table below shows the maturity dates of our future obligations, based on the classification of our defaulted indebtedness as current portion of long-term debt.

Restrictions under our July 1999, October 1999 and January 2000 Indentures

Our activities are restricted by the covenants of our indentures dated July 30, October 29, 1999 and January 20, 2000, under which our senior notes and senior discount notes were issued. Among other things, our indentures place certain limitations on our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to borrow money, pay dividends or repurchase stock, make investments, create certain liens, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. Should our planned debt restructuring be successful, our senior and senior discount notes, to which these indentures apply, will be exchanged for equity in New UPC.

Sources of Capital

We had approximately 248.8 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of March 31, 2003. Of our 248.8 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, USD 107.0 million is held by UPC Polska, our Polish subsidiary, and, as a result of the limitations imposed by the indentures governing the UPC Polska Notes, is limited in its utilization. Our ability to access our borrowing capacity at the holding company and subsidiary level was restricted or eliminated as a result of the payment defaults under our senior notes in the first twelve months of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003. To date, our principal sources of capital have been debt and equity capital raised at our holding company level and debt securities and bank debt issued or borrowed by subsidiaries. As of the date of the filing, we have no restrictions to make additional drawings under the UPC Distribution Bank Facility.

Consolidated Capital Expenditures

Since 1995, we have been upgrading our existing cable television system infrastructure and constructing our new-build infrastructure with two-way high capacity technology to support digital video, telephone and internet/data services. Capital expenditures for the upgrade and new-build construction can be reduced at our discretion, although such reductions require lead-time in order to complete work-in-progress and can result in higher total costs of construction. At the end of 2001, we completed a strategic review of the business, which resulted in a reduced capital expenditure program for 2002 and 2003, as we focused on increasing penetration of new services in our existing upgraded footprint and efficient deployment of capital on a limited basis, aimed at causing product deployment to result in positive net present values.

In addition to the network infrastructure and related equipment and capital resources described above, development of our newer businesses,chello broadband, Priority Telecom, our digital distribution platform and DTH, including expansion into Central Europe, requires capital expenditures for

construction and development of our pan-European distribution and programming facilities, including our origination facility, network operating center, and related support systems and equipment.

For the year 2003, we plan a slight increase on capital expenditures. Customer premise equipment ("CPE") costs decreased in 2002 and are expected to decrease further based on current prices, which are negotiated centrally, and continue to decrease as market rates for such equipment continue to fall. In addition, tighter field controls have been implemented leading to higher rates of CPE retrieval.

We expect that network and upgrade capital expenditure will also see a reduction as we are limiting additional network investment primarily to that needed to cover maintenance and costs necessary to support expansion of services. We expect our existing network to largely cope with the anticipated increase in traffic. In addition, we plan to limit new build expenditures primarily to these areas where essential franchise commitments require investment and to limit additional upgrade investment until such a time that existing upgraded areas are fully serviced, although in certain areas of Eastern Europe, we are upgrading our network to launch internet services.

New Accounting Principles

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities–an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 46 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Investment Portfolio

As of March 31, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately 248.8 million. We have invested this cash in highly liquid instruments, which meet high credit quality standards with original maturities at the date of purchase of less than three months. These investments are subject to interest rate risk and foreign exchange fluctuations (with respect to amounts invested in currencies outside the European Monetary Union). However, we do not expect any material losses with respect to our investment portfolio.

Credit Risk

We monitor the financial risk of our trade counter parties. Subject to a materiality test, new vendors go through a credit check before a contract is awarded. Periodical financial analyses are made of a group of vendors that provide material proprietary services or products. As of March 31, 2003, we believe our portfolio of these vendors as a whole meets our internal criteria for acceptability.

Inflation and Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Losses

To date, we have not been impacted materially by inflation.

The value of our monetary assets and liabilities is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as accounts payable for certain equipment purchases and certain operating expenses, such as DTH and programming expenses, are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity making such payments. We and some of our operating companies have notes payable and notes receivable that are denominated in, and loans payable that are linked to, a currency other than their own functional currency, exposing us to foreign currency exchange risks on these monetary assets and liabilities. Historically, we have not hedged our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate operating risks. Accordingly, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The functional currency for our operations generally is the applicable local currency for each operating company. We have consolidated operations in countries outside of the European Monetary Union including Norway, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovak Republic and Czech Republic. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the 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 Euros result in unrealized gains or losses referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currencies 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 our operations in foreign countries are translated based on their reporting currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances on 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.

Impact of Foreign Currency Rate Changes

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to our monetary assets and liabilities, including those of our operating subsidiaries, which are denominated in currencies outside of the European Monetary Union, notably the EUR/USD risk arising from our U.S. dollar denominated liabilities. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations also arises from intercompany charges.

The table below provides information about UPC's and its consolidated subsidiaries' foreign currency risk for cash, which is denominated in foreign currencies outside of the European Monetary Union as of March 31, 2003. The information is presented in Euro equivalents, as the Euro is our reporting currency.

	Amount Outstanding as of March 31, 2003
	Book Value	Fair Value
	(In thousands of Euros)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
USD Cash	129,653	129,653

We are risk averse towards foreign currency risk and therefore actively seek to manage our foreign currency risk by entering into hedge instruments where appropriate and available to us in the financial markets. We use cross currency swaps, currency deposits and forward contracts to hedge the exposure. We actively monitor the various financial instruments available to us and expect to shift the use of instruments to less credit capacity intensive instruments in the near future, driven by the current credit risk appetite in the financial markets. We have consistently managed our foreign currency risk through the use of these instruments.

For descriptions of our senior notes, senior discount notes and the Exchangeable Loan we refer to Note 8 of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, as included in our form 10-K. The interest rates of the notes are included in the interest rate sensitivity tables to which we refer.

The table below provides information about our foreign currency exchange risk for debt, which is denominated in foreign currencies outside of the European Monetary Union as of March 31, 2003, including cash flows, based on the expected repayment date and related weighted-average interest rates for debt.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We actively manage our exposure to interest rates and use various financial instruments like interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and fixed and floating rate credit instruments, when available to us and appropriate. We aim at fixing a minimum 50% of the interest rates on our bank debt to average tenors with a minimum tenor of one year. We actively monitor the various financial instruments available to us and expect to shift the use of instruments to less credit capacity intensive instruments in the near future, driven by the current credit risk appetite in the financial markets. We have consistently managed, where possible, our interest rate exposure through the use of these instruments.

The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2003, including cash flows based on the expected repayment dates and the related weighted-average interest rates. The information is presented in Euro equivalents, which is our reporting currency and is based on classification of indebtedness in our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Equity Prices

As of March 31, 2003, we are exposed to equity price fluctuations related to our investments in equity securities. Our investment in UGC Holdings is classified as available for sale. Changes in the price of the stock are reflected as unrealized gains (losses) in our statement of shareholders' equity until such time as the stock is sold and any unrealized gain (loss) will be reflected in the statement of operations. Our investments in PrimaCom and SBS are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

We evaluate our investments in publicly traded securities accounted for under the equity method for impairment in accordance with APB 18 and SAB 59. Under APB 18, a loss in value of an investment accounted for under the equity method, which is other than a temporary decline, should be recognized as a realized loss, establishing a new carrying value for the investment. Factors we consider in making this evaluation include: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including cash flows of the investee and any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and ability of us to retain our investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. A current fair value of an investment that is less than its carrying amount may indicate a loss in value of the investment.

Cross-Currency and Interest Rate Swaps

We entered into an interest rate swap in respect of 1,725 million of the UPC Distribution Bank Facility to fix the EURIBOR portion of the interest calculation at 4.5475% for the period ending April 15, 2003. This swap qualifies as an accounting cash flow hedge as defined by SFAS 133. Accordingly, the changes in fair value of this instrument are recorded through other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity. As per April 15, 2003, the interest rate swap expired and ceased to exist. In the first quarter of 2003, we have bought protection on the interest rate exposure on the Euro denominated bank indebtedness for 2003 and 2004. As a result, the net rate (without the applicable margin) is capped at 3% for an amount totaling 2.7 billion. The changes in fair value of these caps are recorded through other income in the consolidated statement of operations.

The consolidated balance sheet reflects these instruments as derivative assets or liabilities as appropriate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company's management team continues to review the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a–14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the effectiveness of those disclosure controls and procedures. Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a–14 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company each concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls. As a result, no corrective actions were required or taken.
