The  consolidated financial statements as set out on pages 14  to  16,
which are unaudited, have been prepared on the basis of the accounting
policies set out in Telewest's 1999 Annual Report.

The economic environment in which the Company operates is the United
Kingdom ("UK") and hence its reporting currency is Pounds Sterling 
("#"). Merely for convenience, the financial statements contain
translations of certain Pounds Sterling amounts into US Dollars at
$1.5922 per #1.00, the Noon Buying Rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York on 31 March 2000. The presentation of the US Dollar amounts
should not be construed as a representation that the Pounds Sterling
amounts could be so converted into US Dollars at the rate indicated or
at any other rate.
