UnitedGlobalCom, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

as of March 31, 2003
(Unaudited)

1.     Organization and Nature of Operations

UnitedGlobalCom, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "United", "we", "us" and/or "our") provides video, telephone and Internet access services, which the Company refers to as "Triple Play", or "Triple Play Distribution", in numerous countries worldwide. The following chart presents a summary of the Company's ownership structure as of March 31, 2003.

2.     Risks, Uncertainties and Liquidity

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. On a consolidated basis, the Company has a net working capital deficiency as a result of recurring losses from operations and defaults under certain bank credit facilities, senior notes and senior discount note agreements. With the successful completion of the planned restructuring of UPC and refinancing of VTR's bank credit facility (as discussed below), management believes that on a consolidated basis the Company will have sufficient sources of capital, working capital and operating cash flows to enable it to continue as a going concern. While the Company is optimistic that each of these transactions will be completed successfully, the Company cannot give assurance that these transactions will be completed on terms that are acceptable to it or its operating subsidiaries or at all. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed 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 the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

United Corporate

As of March 31, 2003, including the effect of the SBS Transaction and excluding restricted cash, United had $47.8 million in cash on hand and negative working capital of $40.1 million, due primarily to notes payable to Liberty Media Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates "Liberty") totaling $102.7 million (due in January and February 2004). To meet its cash needs over the next year, United plans to raise capital through public and/or private deb
