     Included  in the level of acceptances are acceptances received  pursuant
     to  an undertaking to accept the Offer from Liberty Media in respect  of

     Flextech's issued share capital.

2.   As set out in the Offer Document, Telewest has agreed not to declare the
     Offer unconditional as to acceptances unless valid acceptances have been
     received  in respect of not less than 80 per cent. in nominal  value  of
     the Flextech shares to which the Offer relates without the prior written
     consent of Liberty Media and Flextech.

3.   The  Initial Offer Period (during which Flextech shareholders will  have
     the  right to withdraw their acceptances of the Offer in accordance with
     paragraph  3 of Part B of Appendix I to the Offer Document) is  extended
     and  will  expire  at 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 18 April  2000,  unless

     for  Liberty  Media and MediaOne (who hold 36.6 per cent.  and  6.7  per
     cent. of Flextech's issued share capital respectively), neither Telewest
     nor  any  person deemed to be acting in concert with Telewest  held  any
