Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the net loss per share computations because they are antidilutive. NOTE B--ACCOUNTING CHANGE In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans (including stock option plans). As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company expects to continue to measure compensation costs for its plans as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

The 11-1/2% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes were issued at a price to investors of 57.155% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity or $600,127,500. The Company received net proceeds of $582,000,000 after discounts and commissions from the issuance of the 11-1/2% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes. The original issue discount accretes at a rate of 11-1/2%, compounded semiannually, to an aggregate principal amount of $1,050,000,000 by February 1, 2001. Interest will thereafter accrue at 11-1/2% per annum, payable semiannually beginning on August 1, 2001. The 11-1/2% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes may be redeemed at the Company's option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2001 at 105.75% the first year, 102.875% the second year and 100% thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The 11-1/2% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments of the Company's subsidiaries. The indenture governing the 11-1/2% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes contains restrictions relating to, among other things: (i) incurrence of additional indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock; (ii) dividend and other payment restrictions; and (iii) mergers, consolidations and sales of assets. Pursuant to the terms of the consent solicitations to the holders of the 10-7/8% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes and to the holders of the 12-3/4% Series A Senior Deferred Coupon Notes to gain consent to modify certain indenture provisions, the Company paid an aggregate of $3,592,000 in consent payments and issued warrants to purchase 164,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $23.78 per share in lieu of additional consent payments of $1,641,000. The warrants expire in 2006. 8 INTERNATIONAL CABLETEL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-Continued NOTE E--SUBSEQUENT EVENT In May 1996, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Purchaser") acquired NTL Group Limited ("NTL"), an English limited liability company, for payments of approximately (Pounds)200 million at closing, (Pounds)35 million, subject to adjustments, on the first anniversary of closing and (Pounds)17.1 million (which corresponds to the tax credit expected by NTL by October 1, 1996) in October 1996. NTL provides television and radio transmission services and a range of other services in the broadcasting and telecommunications industries. To finance the acquisition of NTL, the Purchaser entered into an agreement dated March 28, 1996 with a syndicate of lenders (the "Lenders") pursuant to which the Lenders made available to the Purchaser senior secured loan facilities (the "A Facilities") of a maximum principal amount of (Pounds)165 million comprised of (i) a short term loan facility of (Pounds)50 million (the "Short Term Facility"), (ii) a long term loan facility of (Pounds)90 million (the "Long Term Facility," and, together with the Short Term Facility, the "Term Loan Facilities") and (iii) a revolving credit facility of (Pounds)25 million (the "Revolving Facility"). One of the Lenders also agreed to make available to the Purchaser a secured loan facility of (Pounds)60 million (the "B Facility") to finance the remainder of the payment due at closing and acquisition costs and expenses due at closing. The Term Loan Facilities and the B Facility were used to finance the acquisition of NTL including related acquisition expenses. The Revolving Facility is available until December 31, 1997 for capital expenditure and working capital purposes of NTL's group. At the end of the availability period, any amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility will be converted to term debt and be aggregated with the Long Term Facility. The Short Term Facility is repayable in full on December 31, 1996 unless certain conditions are fulfilled on or prior to that date, in which case the amounts outstanding under the Short Term Facility will automatically be converted into, and shall be deemed to be, amounts outstanding under the Long Term Facility. The Company anticipates that such conditions will be met and that the amounts outstanding under the Short Term Facility will be so converted. All amounts outstanding under the Long Term Facility are scheduled to be repaid in quarterly installments from 1998 to 2002 inclusive. The amount of the installments will be based upon an agreed percentage of the loan and will increase year to year. Final repayment of the Long Term Facility is due on December 31, 2002. Loans under the A Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin that varies from 0.75% per annum to 1.75% per annum, based on certain financial ratios of the Purchaser and certain of its subsidiaries. The A Facilities are secured by guarantees from NTL and each of its subsidiaries and by first ranking fixed and floating charges over all the present and future assets of the Purchaser, NTL and its subsidiaries. The A Facilities do not, therefore, provide for the lenders to have recourse to assets of the Company other than to the assets of the Purchaser and its subsidiaries. The A Facilities contain various financial and other covenants, including covenants with respect to the Purchaser and certain of its subsidiaries relating to minimum total debt to operating cash flow (as defined in the "A Facilities"), 9 INTERNATIONAL CABLETEL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-Continued NOTE E--SUBSEQUENT EVENT-Continued fixed charge coverage, net worth and pro-forma debt service ratios. The A Facilities also include restrictions on dividends and distributions by the Purchaser to its shareholders. The B Facility is secured by cash of (pounds) 62,500,000 on deposit with the lender and guarantees from the Company, OCOM Corporation, OCOM Sub I Inc., OCOM Sub III Inc., CableTel (UK) Group, Inc. and CableTel (UK) Limited and by second ranking fixed and floating charges over all the present and future assets of the Purchaser, NTL and its subsidiaries, subject to certain subordination arrangements. The B Facility must be repaid in full by December 31, 1996. Loans under the B Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 3%, which margin shall be increased by an additional 1.25% on each of the "Applicable Margin Step-Up Dates" falling three, four, five, six and seven months after the advance of any loans under the B Facility. The Purchaser may repay all, but not less than all, of the amount outstanding under the B Facility at any time without penalty. The B Facility contains covenants similar to those of the A Facilities. NOTE F--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES As of March 31, 1996, the Company was committed to pay approximately $26,900,000 for equipment and services. The Company has licenses issued by the United Kingdom Department of Trade and Industry ("DTI") and the United Kingdom Independent Television Commission ("ITC") for its cable television, telephone and telecommunications business and the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") for its microwave transmission business. The initial terms of the Company's licenses was 23 years for the DTI licenses, 15 years for the ITC licenses and 10 years for the FCC licenses. The Company's licenses expire in 2008 to 2017 for the DTI licenses, 1999 to 2005 for the ITC licenses and 2001 for the FCC licenses. The DTI requires a fixed annual renewal fee of (Pounds)2,500 ($4,000) per license. The ITC requires an annual license fee ranging from (Pounds)1,300 ($2,000) to (Pounds)7,900 ($12,000) per license based on the number of homes in the licensed area, which is subject to adjustment annually. The FCC requires an annual license fee of $140 per license, which is subject to adjustment annually. The Company's license fees in 1996 were $ 19,000. In addition, the Company was awarded certain newly issued licenses by the ITC in 1995. Pursuant to the terms of the local delivery license ("LDL") for Northern Ireland granted to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company is required to make annual cash payments to the ITC for fifteen years, commencing the earlier of the first full calendar year after the start of operations or May 1997, in the amount of approximately (Pounds)14,400,000 ($21,900,000) (subject to adjustments for inflation). Such payments are in addition to the percentages of qualifying revenue already set by the ITC of 0% for the first ten years and 2% for the last five years of the fifteen year license. Pursuant to the terms of the LDL for Glamorgan and Gwent, Wales granted to one of the Company's joint ventures, the joint venture is required to make annual cash payments to the ITC for fifteen years, commencing in the first full calendar year after the start of operations, in the amount of (Pounds)104,188 ($159,000). Such payments are in addition to the percentages of qualifying revenue already set by the ITC of 0% for the first five years, 2% for the second five years and 4% for the last five years of the fifteen-year license. 10 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
