BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

Global Crossing Limited or GCL is a holding company with all of its revenue
generated by its subsidiaries and substantially all of its assets owned by its subsidiaries. GCL and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) are a global communications service provider. The Company offers a full range of data,
voice and collaboration services and delivers service to approximately 40 percent of the companies in the Fortune 500, as well as 700 carriers, mobile operators and Internet service providers around the world. The Company delivers converged IP
services to more than 700 cities in more than 70 countries around the globe. The Companys operations are based principally in North America, Europe, Latin America and a portion of the Asia/Pacific region. The vast majority of the
Companys revenue is generated from monthly services. The Company reports financial results based on three separate operating segments: (i) Global Crossing (U.K.) Telecommunications Ltd (GCUK) and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the GCUK Segment); (ii) GC Impsat Holdings I Plc (GC Impsat) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the GC Impsat Segment); and (iii) GCL and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the
Rest of World Segment or ROW Segment) (see Note 10).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Companys 2009 annual report on Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company over which it exercises
control. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim results for
the Company. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses and cash flows during the periods presented. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates the Company makes are based on historical factors,
current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Companys management. The Company evaluates its assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ third party experts to assist in the Companys evaluations.

Venezuelan Currency Risk

In Venezuela, the official bolivaresU.S. Dollar exchange rate established by the Venezuelan Central Bank and the Venezuelan
Ministry of Finance has historically attributed to the bolivar a value that is significantly greater than the value prevailing on the parallel market. The official rate is the rate used for recording the assets, liabilities and transactions for the
Companys Venezuelan subsidiary. Effective January 12, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the Venezuelan bolivar. The official rate increased from 2.15 Venezuelan bolivares to the U.S. Dollar to 4.30 for non-essential goods
(which the Company believes includes its products and services). This devaluation reduced the Companys net monetary assets (including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) by approximately $27 based on the bolivares balances as of such date
resulting in a corresponding foreign exchange loss, which was recorded to other expense, net in the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The current official rate continues to attribute to the bolivar a value that is significantly greater than the value prevailing on the
parallel market. Moreover, the conversion of bolivares into foreign currencies is limited by the current exchange control regime. Accordingly, the acquisition of foreign currency by Venezuelan companies to honor foreign debt, pay dividends or
otherwise expatriate capital is subject to registration and subject to a process of application and approval by the Comisión de Administración de Divisas (CADIVI) and to the availability of foreign currency within the
guidelines set forth by the National Executive Power for the allocation of foreign currency. Such approvals have become less forthcoming over time, resulting in a significant buildup of excess cash in the Companys Venezuelan subsidiary and a
significant increase in the Companys exchange rate and exchange control risks.

(unaudited)



The Company cannot predict if and when it will obtain CADIVI approval to honor foreign debt, distribute dividends or otherwise expatriate capital using the official Venezuelan exchange rate or
the timing of receipt of such approval. At March 31, 2010, the Company had $19 registered and subject to approval by CADIVI for the conversion of bolivares into foreign currencies. If the Company elected, or were required, to convert the
Companys Venezuelan subsidiarys cash balances into U.S. Dollars using unofficial, parallel currency-exchange mechanisms that may be available from time to time, material currency exchange losses would likely be incurred in the period of
conversion. Additionally, if the Company further determined that the unofficial parallel rate should be used in the future to measure bolivar-based assets, liabilities and transactions, reported results could be further adversely affected. As of
March 31, 2010, approximately $30 (valued at the fixed official rate) of our cash and cash equivalents were held in Venezuelan bolivares. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Companys Venezuelan subsidiary generated
approximately $12 of the Companys consolidated revenue and $8 of the Companys consolidated OIBDA at the fixed official rate. As of March 31, 2010, the Companys Venezuelan subsidiary had $27 of net monetary assets of which $1
and $26 were denominated in U.S. Dollars and Venezuelan bolivares, respectively. The official exchange rate is 4.30 bolivares to the U.S. Dollar at March 31, 2010. The estimated exchange rate on the parallel market is between 6.90 and 7.00
bolivares to the U.S. Dollar at March 31, 2010.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting
Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued amendments to FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, with respect to accounting and reporting guidance for revenue-generating arrangements with multiple deliverables, which (a) amend the requirements entities must meet in order for
elements to be considered separate units of accounting; (b) eliminate the requirement that entities have objective and reliable evidence of fair value for undelivered items in order to separate them from other elements in the arrangements; and
(c) replace the residual method of allocating consideration with the relative selling price method. Under the relative selling price method for allocating consideration, entities must establish an estimated selling price for any units for which
objective and reliable evidence of fair value or third party evidence of selling price is not determinable. ASC Topic 605 expands the qualitative and (if adoption impacts are significant) quantitative information required to be disclosed concerning
revenue-generating arrangements with multiple deliverables.

This amended accounting guidance is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2010, with early adoption, as of the first fiscal year beginning after issuance of the amendments, permitted. It may be adopted prospectively to all new or significantly modified arrangements or retrospectively to all
arrangements. The Company has elected to early adopt the new accounting guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2010 and there was no significant impact to our consolidated financial
results for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The Company enters into managed service agreements with multiple
deliverables such as professional services as well as telecommunication services and solutions and generally have minimum contract terms between two and seven years. Professional services are generally delivered during initial stages of contracts
and telecommunication services over the contract term. Until the adoption of new guidance, a delivered element was considered a separate unit of accounting when it had value to the customer on a standalone basis, there was objective and reliable
evidence of its fair value in the arrangement, and delivery or performance of undelivered elements was considered probable and substantially under our control. When the fair value of all elements could be determined, we allocated consideration to
each undelivered unit of accounting using the relative fair value method, with unit values determined by internal or third-party analyses of market based prices. Otherwise, the residual value method would be used to allocate consideration to the
combined undelivered elements, which would be deferred until final arrangement performance. In all cases, revenue from such arrangements was recognized when performance of the deliverable had occurred and all other revenue recognition criteria were
met.

Upon adoption of the amended guidance for multiple element arrangements, we determine an estimated selling price for any
elements for which objective and reliable evidence or third party evidence is not available and then allocate consideration to all elements using the relative selling price method. We establish vendor specific objective evidence using the price
charged for a deliverable when sold separately or using the price established by management having the relevant authority. The best estimate of selling price is established considering internal factors, such as margin objectives and pricing
practices. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized when performance of the deliverable occurs and all other revenue recognition criteria are met. There was no substantial change to the units of accounting we typically identify in such multiple
deliverable agreements. We do not expect a significant impact on the pattern and timing of revenue recognition in the financial statements of future periods.

3. FINANCING ACTIVITIES

12% Senior Secured Notes

On September 22, 2009, the Company issued $750 in aggregate principal amount of 12% Senior Secured Notes due September 15, 2015
at an issue price of 97.944% of their par value. Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 12% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year through maturity, commencing on
March 15, 2010. The transaction was intended to simplify the Companys capital structure and to improve the Companys liquidity and financial flexibility by effectively extending the May 2012 maturity of the Companys Term Loan
Agreement, reducing contractual restrictions on intercompany transactions between the Companys GC Impsat and ROW Segments, and increasing the Companys consolidated cash balance.

The 12% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by the vast majority of the Companys direct and indirect subsidiaries other than the
subsidiaries comprising the GCUK Segment and certain other subsidiaries as described in the indenture. The obligations of GCL and the guarantors in respect of the notes are senior obligations which rank equal in right of payment with all of their
existing and future senior indebtedness. In addition, the 12% Senior Secured Notes are secured by first-priority liens, subject to certain exceptions, on GCLs and certain of the guarantors existing and future assets. These assets
generally include the Specified Tangible Assets (defined in the notes indenture as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable from third parties and property, plant and equipment (other than property, plant and equipment under
capital leases and leasehold improvements)) of GCL and the Grantor Guarantors organized in Approved Jurisdictions (as such terms are defined in the notes indenture). The book value of such Specified Tangible
Assets as of March 31, 2010 was $1,165, which exceeds the $1,000 threshold required to incur indebtedness and make restricted payments pursuant to certain of the exceptions to the covenants in the notes indenture.

The 12% Senior Secured Notes are not registered under the Securities Act and the initial purchasers agreed to sell the notes only:
(i) in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act; and (ii) outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities
Act. However, the Company is required to register an identical series of notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to offer to exchange those registered notes for the notes issued in connection with the initial offering by
September 22, 2010, subject to possible extensions under certain circumstances. GCL expects to complete the registration and exchange offer on or before the date specified above. However, in the event of registration default, the Company would
be obligated to pay additional interest in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of the notes, with such rate increasing by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period until the registration default is cured, up
to a maximum rate of additional interest of 1.00% per annum. The maximum possible additional interest payable in the period from September 22, 2010 to September 15, 2015 (the maturity date) would be $35.

Other Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company entered into one debt agreement to finance various equipment purchases and
software licenses. The total debt obligation resulting from this agreement was $4 and is payable over one year with annual interest of 8.8%. In addition, the Company also entered into various capital leasing arrangements that aggregated $12. These
agreements have terms that range from 15 to 48 months with a weighted average effective interest rate of 11.6%.

GCUK
Notes Tender Offer

As required by the indenture governing the senior secured notes due 2014 (the GCUK
Notes), within 120 days after the end of each twelve month period ending December 31, GCUK must offer (the Excess Cash Offer) to purchase a portion of the GCUK Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date, using 50% of Designated GCUK Cash Flow from that period. Designated GCUK Cash Flow means GCUKs consolidated net income plus non-cash charges minus capital
expenditures, calculated in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the GCUK Notes. With respect to the 2009 Excess Cash Offer, GCUK made an offer in April 2010 of approximately $18, exclusive of accrued but unpaid interest. Such offer
to purchase will expire on May 11, 2010 and any associated purchases are required to be completed within 150 days after December 31, 2009.

4. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

Below is a description of the Companys significant restructuring plans:

2007 Restructuring Plans

During 2007, the Company adopted a restructuring plan as a result of the Impsat Fiber Networks, Inc. (Impsat) acquisition
under which redundant Impsat employees were terminated. As a result, the Company incurred cash restructuring costs of approximately $8 for severance and related benefits. The liabilities associated with this restructuring plan have been accounted
for as part of the purchase price of Impsat. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the remaining liability of the restructuring reserve was $6 and $7, respectively, all related to the GC Impsat Segment. In July 2009, the Company
settled a claim initiated in October 2007 by a former director and officer of Impsat to be paid out in installments through February 2011. In February 2010, the Company settled another claim initiated in November 2007 by a former officer of Impsat
which was fully paid in April 2010.

2003 and Prior Restructuring Plans

Prior to the Companys emergence from bankruptcy on December 9, 2003, the Company adopted certain restructuring plans as a
result of the slowdown of the economy and telecommunications industry, as well as its efforts to restructure while under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. As a result of these activities, the Company eliminated employees and vacated facilities. All
amounts incurred for employee separations were paid as of December 31, 2004 and it is anticipated that the remainder of the restructuring liability, all of which relates to facility closings, will be paid through 2025.

The undiscounted facilities closing reserve, which represents estimated future cash flows, is composed of continuing building lease
obligations and broker commissions for the restructured sites (aggregating $82 as of March 31, 2010), offset by anticipated receipts from existing and future third-party subleases. As of March 31, 2010, anticipated third-party sublease
receipts were $72, representing $53 from subleases already entered into and $19 from subleases projected to be entered into in the future.

The table below reflects the activity associated with the restructuring reserve relating to the restructuring plans initiated during and
prior to 2003 for the three months ended March 31, 2010:

7. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic loss per common share is computed as loss applicable to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Loss applicable to common shareholders includes preferred stock dividends of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock. However, since the Company had net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share.

Diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 does not include the effect of the following potential
shares, as they are anti-dilutive:



|                                                                                |  |                              |  |

Employee stock awards to purchase approximately
1 million shares for $10.16 or $15.39 per share were not included in the dilutive income per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as the exercise price is greater than the average market price per share.

The 5% Convertible Notes which are convertible into approximately 6.3 million shares at a conversion price of $22.98 per share were
not included in the dilutive income per share calculation as the conversion price is greater than the average market price per share.

8.
CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

Amounts accrued for contingent liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other deferred liabilities at March 31, 2010
and December 31, 2009. In accordance with the accounting for contingencies as governed by ASC Topic 450, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. Further, with respect to loss contingencies, where it is probable that a liability has been incurred and there is a range in the expected loss and no amount in the range is more likely than any other amount, the Company accrues
at the low end of the range. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
Although the Company believes it has accrued for the

following matters in accordance with ASC Topic 450, litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected
in any particular period by the unfavorable developments in, or resolution or disposition of, one or more of these contingencies. The following is a description of the material legal proceedings involving the Company commenced or pending during the
three months ended March 31, 2010.

AT&T Corp. (SBC Communications) Claim

On November 17, 2004, AT&Ts local exchange carrier affiliates commenced an action against the Company and other defendants
in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The complaint and amended complaint allege that the Company, through certain unnamed intermediaries, which are characterized as least cost routers, terminated long distance
traffic to avoid the payment of interstate and intrastate access charges.

Plaintiffs allege that they have been damaged in
the amount of approximately $20 for the time period of February 2002 through August 2004. The complaint also seeks an injunction against the use of least cost routers and the avoidance of access charges. On August 23, 2005, the
Court referred a comparable case to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the FCC has sought comments on the issues referred by the Court. The Company filed comments in the two declaratory judgment proceedings occasioned by the
Courts referral. On February 7, 2006, the Court entered an order: (a) dismissing AT&Ts claims against Global Crossing to the extent that such claims arose prior to December 9, 2003 by virtue of the injunction contained
in the joint plan of reorganization (the Plan of Reorganization) of the Companys predecessor and a number of its subsidiaries (collectively, the GC Debtors) which became effective on that date; and (b) staying the
remainder of the action pending the outcome of the referral to the FCC described above. In an order dated September 25, 2009, the Court ordered the plaintiffs to provide the Court with a status report on all FCC proceedings that relate to the
litigation or address the question of the applicability of access charges on VOIP traffic by December 30, 2009 and ordered the parties to submit a case management order by January 8, 2010 in the event that the Court lifts the stay
currently governing this proceeding. The plaintiffs filed their status report with the Court and the parties filed a case management order. The parties disagree on whether, in the event that the Court lifts the stay, the Court should permit
discovery pending dispositive motions or rule on any such motions that may be filed.

Claim by the U.S. Department of
Commerce

A claim was filed in the Companys bankruptcy proceedings by the U.S. Department of Commerce (the
Commerce Department) on October 30, 2002 asserting that an undersea cable owned by Pacific Crossing Ltd., a former subsidiary of the Company (PCL) violates the terms of a Special Use permit issued by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The Company believes responsibility for the asserted claim rests entirely with the Companys former subsidiary. On November 7, 2003, the Company and the Global Crossing Creditors
Committee filed an objection to this claim with the Bankruptcy Court. Subsequently, the Commerce Department agreed to limit the size of the pre-petition portion of its claim to $14. An identical claim that had been filed in the bankruptcy
proceedings of PCL was settled in principle in September 2005 and was subsequently approved by the court as part of the PCL plan of reorganization confirmed in an order dated November 10, 2005. The Company initiated preliminary discussions with
the Commerce Department and its Justice Department attorneys as to the impact that settlement has on the claim against the Company. The Commerce Department continues to consider its position on the matter.

Qwest Rights-of-Way Litigation

A large portion of the Companys North American network comprises indefeasible rights of use purchased from Qwest Communications
Corporation on a fiber-optic communication system constructed by Qwest within rights-of-way granted to certain railroads by various landowners. In May 2001, a purported class action was commenced on behalf of such landowners in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Illinois against Qwest and three of the Companys subsidiaries, among other defendants. The complaint alleges that the railroads had only limited rights-of-way granted to them that did not include permission
to install fiber-optic cable for use by Qwest or any other entities. The action seeks actual damages in an unstated amount and alleges that the wrongs done by the Company involve fraud, malice, intentional wrongdoing, willful or wanton conduct
and/or reckless disregard for the rights of the plaintiff landowners. As a result, plaintiffs also request an award of punitive damages. The Company made a demand of Qwest to defend and indemnify the Company in the lawsuit. In response, Qwest has
appointed defense counsel to protect the Companys interests.



The plaintiffs claims against the Company relating to periods of time prior to the Companys January 28, 2002 bankruptcy
filing were discharged in accordance with the Companys Plan of Reorganization. By agreement between the parties, the Plan of Reorganization preserved plaintiffs rights to pursue any post-confirmation claims of trespass or ejectment. If
the plaintiffs were to prevail, the Company could lose its ability to operate large portions of its North American network, although it believes that it would be entitled to indemnification from Qwest for any losses under the terms of the IRU
agreement under which the Company originally purchased this capacity. As part of a global resolution of all bankruptcy claims asserted against the Company by Qwest, Qwest agreed to reaffirm its obligations of defense and indemnity to the Company for
the assertions made in this claim. Since then, attempts have been made to settle many of the class action lawsuits that have been pending against Qwest regarding the rights of way issue.

In 2002, a proposed settlement was submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois and was preliminarily approved by the District Court, but rejected by the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2004. During 2008, the parties to the various class actions reached preliminary agreement to settle all of the
pending cases and the parties submitted to the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts a motion for class certification and for approval of the proposed settlement. The District Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and a number of
objections to the settlement were filed. In a memorandum and order dated September 10, 2009, the District Court concluded that it did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the claims, denied final approval of the settlement and
dismissed the case in its entirety. A number of the plaintiff groups then requested the Court to modify its decision. In a revised memorandum and order dated December 9, 2009, the Court reiterated its holding that the Court lacked subject
matter jurisdiction over the claims and dismissed the case.

Foreign Income Tax Audit

A tax authority in South America issued a preliminary notice of findings based on certain tax audits for calendar years 2001 and 2002. The
examiners initial findings took the position that the Company incorrectly documented its importations and incorrectly deducted its foreign exchange losses against its foreign exchange gains on loan balances. An official assessment of $27,
including potential interest and penalties, was issued in 2005. Due to accrued interest and foreign exchange effects the total exposure has increased to $62. The Company challenged the assessment and commenced litigation in September 2006 to resolve
its dispute with the tax authority.

Employee Severance Disputes

A number of former directors and executive officers of Impsat have asserted claims for separation pay, severance, commissions, pension
benefits, unpaid vacation pay, breach of employment contracts, unpaid performance bonuses and related statutory penalties, fines, costs and expenses as a result of their separation from Impsat after the acquisition of Impsat by the Company. The
asserted claims (including accrued interest and attorneys fees) aggregate approximately $25.

The Company has been in
negotiations with the claimants over the amount of their claims and other issues arising out of their departure. The status of the legal proceedings brought by these remaining claimants is as follows. In November 2007, a former officer served the
Company a complaint claiming damages. On February 15, 2010, the parties reached a final settlement at a conciliation hearing, which was approved by the Court and the case is now closed. In July 2008, a former officer commenced formal judicial
proceedings on his claim and the Company responded seeking dismissal of the claim based on lack of jurisdiction. Such defense was rejected by the court and the case will now continue. The case is now in the evidentiary stage. In March 2009, this
same former officer served the Company with an additional complaint for damages in another jurisdiction. The case is currently in the evidentiary stage. In July 2009, two additional executives notified us regarding claims for salary differences that
they allegedly are entitled to receive and other labor-related claims that they intend to pursue. On September 14, 2009 those two executives notified the Company that, effective as of such date, they considered themselves constructively
dismissed due to the Companys failure to address their claims. Mandatory mediation hearings on each of the claims held during October 2009 did not resolve them and the former employees are now permitted to file a judicial claim. The Company
expects formal litigation will be commenced on each of the claims. The Company has replied in each case and will continue to defend against these claims.

Brazilian Tax Claims

In November 2002 and in October 2004, the Brazilian tax authorities of Parana and Sao Paulo, respectively, issued two tax infraction
notices against Impsat for the collection of the Import Duty and the Tax on Manufactured Products, plus fines and interest that amount to approximately $9. The notices informed Impsat Brazil that the taxes were levied because a specific document
(Declaração de NecessidadeStatement of Necessity) was not provided by Impsat Brazil at the time of importation, in breach of MERCOSUR rules. Oppositions were filed on behalf of Impsat Brazil arguing that the Argentine
exporter (Corning Cable Systems Argentina S.A.) complied with the MERCOSUR rules. In the case of the Sao Paulo infraction notice, a favorable first instance decision was granted. However, due to the amount involved, the case was remitted to the
official compulsory review by the Federal Taxpayers Council. In the case of the Parana infraction notice, an unfavorable administrative decision was granted, and the Company will take available judicial measures to appeal such decision.

In December 2004 and in March 2009, the tax authorities of the State of São Paulo, in Brazil, issued two infraction notices
against Impsat Brazil for the collection of Tax on Distribution of Goods and Services (ICMS) supposedly due on the lease of movable properties by comparing such activity to communications services, on which the ICMS state tax is actually
levied. Both assessments amount to approximately $20. A defense against the December 2004 assessment was filed on behalf of Impsat Brazil, arguing that the lease of assets could not be treated as a communication service subject to ICMS. The defense
was rejected in the State Administrative Court; however, the Company will seek judicial action to remove the tax assessment. A defense against the March 2009 assessment was also filed on behalf of Impsat Brazil, and the final administrative decision
is still pending.

In addition, in April 2009, the tax authorities of the State of São Paulo issued
an infraction notice against Impsat Brazil for the collection of ICMS supposedly due on the sale of internet access services by comparing such activity to communications services, on which the ICMS state tax is actually levied. This assessment
amounts approximately to $7. Defenses were filed on behalf of Impsat Brazil, arguing that the provision of internet access services could not be treated as a communication service subject to ICMS. Final administrative decision is still pending.

The Company believes that there are reasonable grounds to have all of the Brazilian tax assessments cancelled.

Paraguayan Government Contract Claim

The National Telecommunications Commission of Paraguay (CONATEL) has commenced separate administrative investigations against
a joint venture between GC Impsats Argentine subsidiary and Electro Import S.A. (JV 1) and another joint venture between GC Impsats Argentine subsidiary and Loma Plata S.A. (JV 2), for breach of contract and
breach of licensees obligations by each of such joint ventures.

The first investigation involves a contract awarded to
JV 1 in December 2000 for the design, supply, installation, launch, operation and maintenance of a telecommunications system for public telephones and/or phone booths in certain specified locations in Paraguay. In 2005, CONATEL initiated an
administrative investigation due to an alleged breach of contract by JV 1. As a result of such investigation, CONATEL is seeking to terminate the contract, revoke JV 1s license, impose a fine and take additional actions against JV 1.
The case is currently pending in the Administrative Court.

The second investigation involves a contract awarded to JV 2 in
2001, after a public bidding process, for the installation and deployment of public telephones and/or telephone booths in certain specified locations in Paraguay. JV 2 was required to install and start operating all the required equipment within
twelve months of the execution of the contract. In January 2003, JV 2 requested an extension of the twelve month term from CONATEL as a result of force majeure which prevented it from completing the installation of the committed number of remote
terminals within the agreed time period. CONATEL denied the request and decided to terminate the contract based on JV 2s default.

JV 2 then filed a claim before the Administrative Court requesting the annulment of the termination and seeking a stay of the challenged
administrative acts. The matter is in the evidentiary stage in the Administrative Court.

Customer Bankruptcy Claim

During 2007 the Company commenced default and disconnect procedures against a customer for breach of a sales contract based on
the nature of the customers traffic, which renders the contract highly unprofitable to the Company. After the process was begun, the customer filed for bankruptcy protection, thereby barring the Company from taking further disconnection
actions against the customer. The Company commenced an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy court, asserting a claim for damages for the customers alleged breaches of the contract and for a declaration that, as a result of these breaches,
the customer may not assume the contract in its reorganization proceedings. The Company is incurring significant legal expenses in connection with this matter.

The customer has filed several counterclaims against the Company alleging various breaches of contract for attempting improperly to
terminate service, for improperly blocking international traffic, for violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and related tort-based claims. The Company notified the customer that the Company would be raising its rates and the Company
subsequently filed a motion with the court seeking additional adequate assurance, or an order allowing the Company to terminate the customers service, based upon the rate change. The customer amended its counter claims to assert claims for
breach of contract based upon the rate increase.

After the filing of motions and responses, the Court issued an opinion on
these matters on July 3, 2008. The Court held that the agreement did not permit the Company to increase the rates in the manner the Company did and that the Company: (a) breached the sales contract in so doing; and (b) is therefore
not entitled to additional adequate assurance. The Court did, however, permit the Company to amend the Companys complaint to plead a rescission claim, which the Company filed on July 14, 2008.

While the customer has alleged damages in amounts that would be very material to the Company, the Company believes that it has valid
defenses to limit the amount of these damages. The Company also moved to dismiss the customers bankruptcy case for failure to comply with the small business provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

By order dated November 25, 2009, the Court dismissed the customers bankruptcy but decided to retain the adversary proceeding.
After the dismissal of the bankruptcy, the Company terminated service to the customer on December 26, 2009. The adversary proceeding continues and the matter is in discovery. The Company amended its complaint to include allegations relating to
the manipulation of traffic data, so called ANI stripping, and the customer filed its amended answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Commercial and other relationships between the Company and ST Telemedia

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company received approximately $2 and $1, respectively, of collocation
services from an affiliate of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte. Ltd. (ST Telemedia). Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company accrued dividends of $1 and $1, respectively, related to
preferred stock held by affiliates of ST Telemedia.

At both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had
approximately $24 due to ST Telemedia and its subsidiaries and affiliates and in each case nothing due from ST Telemedia and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The amounts due to ST Telemedia and its subsidiaries and affiliates primarily relate to
dividends accrued on the Companys 2% cumulative senior convertible preferred stock, and are included in other deferred liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined in ASC Topic 280 as components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may
earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by the Companys chief operating decision makers (CODMs) in deciding how to assess performance and allocate
resources. The Companys CODMs assess performance and allocate resources based on three separate operating segments which management operates and manages as strategic business units: (i) the GCUK Segment; (ii) the GC Impsat Segment;
and (iii) the ROW Segment.

The GCUK Segment is a provider of managed network communications services providing a wide
range of telecommunications services, including data, IP and voice services to government and other public sector organizations, major corporations and other communications companies in the United Kingdom (U.K.). The GC Impsat Segment is
a provider of telecommunication services including IP, voice, data center and information technology services to corporate and government clients in Latin America. The ROW Segment represents all the operations of Global Crossing Limited and its
subsidiaries excluding the GCUK and GC Impsat Segments and comprises operations primarily in North America, with smaller operations in Europe, Latin America, and a portion of the Asia/Pacific region and includes our subsea fiber network, serving
many of the worlds largest corporations and many other telecommunications carriers with a full range of managed telecommunication services including data, IP and voice products. The services provided by all the Companys segments support
a migration path to a fully converged IP environment.

The CODMs measure and evaluate the Companys reportable segments
based on operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA). OIBDA, as defined by the Company, is operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization. OIBDA differs from operating income (loss), as calculated
in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reflected in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements, in that it excludes depreciation and amortization. Such excluded expenses primarily reflect the non-cash impacts of historical capital
investments, as opposed to the cash impacts of capital expenditures made in recent periods. In addition, OIBDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for reinvestment, distributions
or other discretionary uses.

OIBDA is an important part of the Companys internal reporting and planning processes and a
key measure to evaluate profitability and operating performance, make comparisons between periods, and to make resource allocation decisions.

There are material limitations to using non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Companys calculation of OIBDA may differ from
similarly titled measures used by other companies, and may not be comparable to those other measures. Additionally, OIBDA does not include certain significant items such as depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income
taxes, other non-operating income or expense items, and preferred stock dividends. OIBDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes that OIBDA is a relevant indicator of operating performance, especially in a capital-intensive industry such as
telecommunications. OIBDA provides the Company with an indication of the underlying performance of its everyday business operations. It excludes the effect of items associated with the Companys capitalization and tax structures, such as
interest income, interest expense and income taxes, and of other items not associated with the Companys everyday operations.

The following tables provide operating financial information for the Companys three reportable segments and a reconciliation of
segment results to consolidated results.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and
obligations under capital leases approximate their fair value (see Note 2, Basis of Presentation regarding the January 12, 2010 devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar by the Venezuelan government). The fair values of the Companys
debt instruments are based on market quotes and management estimates. Management believes the carrying value of other debt approximates fair value as of March 31, 2010.

The fair values of our debt instruments are as follows:

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a discussion of our results of operations and current financial position. This discussion should be read in conjunction
with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009.

As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to the Company, we,
us, our or similar terms include Global Crossing Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Our disclosure and analysis in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements, as such term is
defined in Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934. These statements set forth anticipated results based on managements plans and assumptions. From time to time, we also provide forward looking statements in other materials we release to
the public as well as oral forward-looking statements. Such statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events; they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have attempted to identify such statements by using
words such as anticipate, estimate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, will, could and similar expressions in connection with any
discussion of future events or future operating or financial performance or strategies. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding:



| |  |  | our services, including the development and deployment of data products and services based on internet protocol (IP) and other technologies
and strategies to expand our targeted customer base and broaden our sales channels and the opening and expansion of our data center and collocation services;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the operation of our network, including with respect to the development of IP-based services and data center and collocation services;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our liquidity and financial resources, including anticipated capital expenditures, funding of capital expenditures, anticipated levels of indebtedness,
and the ability to raise capital through financing activities, including capital leases and similar financings;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | trends related to and managements expectations regarding results of operations, required capital expenditures, integration of acquired
businesses, revenues from existing and new lines of business and sales channels, Free Cash Flow, OIBDA, gross margin, order volumes, expenses and cash flows, including but not limited to those statements set forth in this Item 2; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and the outcome of contingencies, such as regulatory, legal and tax proceedings and
audits.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized. Achievement of future
results is subject to risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results
and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You
are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Also note that we provide the following cautionary discussion of
risks and uncertainties related to our businesses. These are factors that we believe, individually or in the aggregate, could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. We note these factors for investors as
permitted by Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks
or uncertainties.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of factors that could cause actual results to
differ significantly from current beliefs and expectations. In addition to the risk factors identified under the captions below, the operation and results of our business are subject to risks and uncertainties identified elsewhere in this quarterly
report on Form 10-Q as well as general risks and uncertainties such as those relating to general economic conditions and demand for telecommunications services.

Risks Related to Liquidity and Financial Resources



| |  |  | We face a number of risks related to current global economic conditions and global credit markets. Turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and
economies and prolonged declines in business and consumer spending may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | For most periods since our inception, we have incurred substantial operating losses and there can be no assurance that our business will generate
sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to fund our liquidity needs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | We may not be able to achieve anticipated economies of scale, which could prevent us from realizing necessary improvements in profitability and cash
flows.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The sale of IRUs and similar prepayments for services are an important but volatile source of cash flows for us. If customers that traditionally prepay
for services were to switch to monthly payment plans due to adverse economic and credit market conditions or otherwise, our liquidity would be adversely affected.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cost of access represents our single largest expense and gives rise to material current liabilities. If demands from access vendors that we pay for
services on a more timely basis continue to a greater degree than anticipated, or if access vendors were to insist on significant security deposits, we could be prevented from meeting our cash flow projections and our long-term liquidity
requirements.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The covenants in our major debt instruments limit our financial and operational flexibility. Such debt instruments generally contain covenants and
events of default that are customary for high-yield debt facilities. These covenants also impose significant restrictions on the ability of entities in our ROW and GC Impsat Segments from making intercompany funds transfers to entities in our GCUK
Segment and vice versa. Additionally, the certificate of designations governing our 2% cumulative preferred shares requires the holders approval for certain major corporate actions by us and/or our subsidiaries.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our international corporate structure limits the availability of our consolidated cash resources for intercompany funding purposes and reduces our
financial flexibility. Legal restrictions arising out of our international corporate structure include foreign exchange controls on the expatriation of funds that are particularly prevalent in Latin America. Also see Risks related to our
Operations, below.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We cannot predict our future tax liabilities. If we become subject to increased levels of taxation or if tax contingencies are resolved adversely, our
results of operations could be adversely affected.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | GCL and its Bermuda incorporated subsidiaries have received an exemption, until March 2016, from the imposition of income and similar taxes under
Bermuda law, although such exemption does not apply to Bermuda residents or to taxes payable in relation to land leased in Bermuda. There can be no assurance that such exemption will extend beyond 2016.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We and certain of our subsidiaries are Bermuda-based companies, and we believe that a significant portion of our income will not be subject to tax in
Bermuda or in other countries in which we conduct activities or in which our customers are located. This position is subject to review and possible challenge by taxing authorities and to possible changes in law that may have a retroactive effect.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Certain North American and European hourly and salaried employees are covered by our defined benefit pension plans that may require additional funding
and negatively impact our cash flows.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risks Related to our Operations



| |  |  | Our revenue and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control.
Results in future quarters may be below analysts and investors expectations, as well as our own forecasts.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our rights to the use of the fiber that make up our network may be affected by the financial health of our fiber providers.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We may not be able to continue to connect our network to incumbent carriers networks or maintain Internet peering arrangements on favorable
terms.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Network Security Agreement imposes significant requirements on us. A violation of the agreement could have severe consequences.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | It is expensive and difficult to switch new customers to our network, and lack of cooperation of incumbent carriers can slow the new customer
connection process.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The operation, administration, maintenance and repair of our systems require significant expenses and are subject to risks that could lead to
disruptions in our services and the failure of our systems to operate as intended for their full design life.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We may not be able to retain our key management personnel or attract additional skilled management personnel which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our recent capital expenditure levels may not be sustainable in the future, particularly as our business continues to grow. Our ability to fund future
capital expenditures may be limited by our ability to generate sufficient cash flow, including raising any necessary financings.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Intellectual property and proprietary rights of others could prevent us from using necessary technology.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We may not be successful in making or integrating acquisitions with our business or may not be able to realize the benefits we anticipate from such
acquisitions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have substantial international operations and face political, legal, tax, regulatory and other risks from our operations in foreign jurisdictions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other anticorruption laws, and our failure to comply therewith could result
in penalties which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also see Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | We are exposed to significant currency transfer restrictions and currency exchange rate risks and our net loss may suffer due to currency translations
as certain of our current and prospective customers derive their revenue in currencies other than U.S. dollars but are invoiced by us in U.S. dollars. The obligations of customers with substantial revenue in foreign currencies may be subject to
unpredictable and indeterminate increases in the event that such currencies depreciate in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Also see Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Economic and political conditions in Latin America pose numerous risks to our operations.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inflation and certain government measures to curb inflation in some Latin American countries may have adverse effects on their economies, our business
and our operations.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Many of our most important government customers have the right to terminate their contracts with us if a change of control occurs or to reduce the
services they purchase from us for any reason.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risks Related to Competition and our Industry



| |  |  | The prices that we charge for our services have been decreasing, and we expect that these decreases will continue over time.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Technological advances and regulatory changes are eroding traditional barriers between formerly distinct telecommunications markets, which could
increase the competition we face and put downward pressure on prices.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Many of our existing and potential competitors have significant competitive advantages, which could place us at a cost and price disadvantage.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to develop and introduce new services could affect our ability to compete in the industry.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our selection of technology could prove to be incorrect, ineffective or unacceptably costly, which would limit our ability to compete effectively.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our operations are subject to evolving regulation in each of the countries in which we operate and require us to obtain and maintain a number of
governmental licenses and permits. If we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or to obtain and maintain those licenses and permits, we may not be able to conduct our business.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect the financial markets and our business and operations.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risks Related to our Common Stock



| |  |  | We have a very substantial overhang of common stock and a majority shareholder that owns a substantial portion of our common stock and preferred stock
convertible into common stock. Future sales of our common stock by our majority shareholder could significantly increase the market supply of such shares and future acquisitions by our majority shareholder will decrease the liquidity of our common
stock, each of which may negatively affect the market price of our shares and impact our ability to raise capital.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte. Ltd (ST Telemedia) is our majority stockholder and the voting rights of other
stockholders are therefore limited in practical effect.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Other than ownership by ST Telemedia and its affiliates, which cannot exceed 66.25% without prior Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
approval, federal law generally prohibits more than 25% of our capital stock from being owned by foreign persons.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Risks



| |  |  | We are exposed to legal proceedings and contingent liabilities, including those related to Impsat that could result in material losses that we have not
reserved against.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our real estate restructuring reserve represents a material liability, the calculation of which involves significant estimation.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a more detailed description of many of these risks and important additional risk factors, see Item 1A,
BusinessCautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We report our financial results based on three separate operating segments: (i) Global Crossing (U.K.) Telecommunications Ltd
(GCUK) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the GCUK Segment) which provides services to customers primarily based in the U.K.; (ii) GC Impsat Holdings I Plc (GC Impsat) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
GC Impsat Segment) which provides services to customers in Latin America; and (iii) GCL and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the Rest of World Segment or ROW Segment) which represents all our operations
outside of the GCUK Segment and the GC Impsat Segment and operates primarily in North America, with smaller operations in Europe, Latin America, and a portion of the Asia/Pacific region and includes our subsea fiber network. See below in this
Item 2 and Note 10, Segment Reporting, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding our operating segments.

First Quarter 2010 Highlights

Revenue from our enterprise, carrier data and indirect sales channel, which is the primary focus of our business strategy, increased $44
million, or 9%, to $554 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $510 million in the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily due to $25 million of beneficial foreign currency movements in the three months ended March 31, 2010
compared with the same period of 2009. In addition, this increase was driven by additional enterprise, carrier data and indirect channel sales driven by growth in the existing customer base and the acquisition of new customers in specific enterprise
and carrier target markets.

Consolidated OIBDA, which is a key measure we use to evaluate our profitability and operating
performance, increased $2 million, or 3%, to $77 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $75 million in the same period in 2009 (see Use of Certain non-GAAP Measures below in this item 2 for further information about OIBDA).
This increase was primarily the result of increased revenue due to continuing demand for our higher margin products and services as well as $5 million of beneficial foreign currency movements. This increase was partially offset by: (i) higher
access costs associated with the increased revenue and higher costs associated with a subsea cable repair; (ii) higher third party maintenance costs; (iii) $7 million of higher employee incentive compensation costs primarily due to
accruing annual employee incentive compensation at a higher rate in 2010; and (iv) higher sales commissions and other payroll costs. OIBDA was additionally favorably impacted by: (i) lower real estate costs driven by a $6 million U.K.
property tax refund, partially offset by higher rent and utilities costs; and (ii) lower other expenses driven by a $4 million insurance recovery in the U.K.

Our consolidated Free Cash Flow, which is a relevant indicator of our ability to generate cash to pay debt and a key measure we use to
evaluate our liquidity, decreased $40 million, or 125%, to negative $72 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to negative $32 million in the same period in 2009 (see Use of Certain non-GAAP Measures below in this item 2 for
further information about Free Cash Flow). This decrease was primarily due to: (i) higher interest payments resulting from the issuance in September 2009 of our 12% Senior Secured Notes and the related debt refinancing which increased interest
rates, the amount of debt outstanding and impacted the timing of interest payments; and (ii) lower receipts from the sale of IRUs and prepaid services.

Use of Certain non-GAAP Measures

OIBDA

The Companys chief operating decision makers (CODMs) measure and evaluate our reportable segments based on operating
income (loss) before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA). OIBDA differs from operating income (loss), as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements, in that it excludes
depreciation and amortization. Such excluded expenses primarily reflect the non-cash impacts of historical capital investments, as opposed to the cash impacts of capital expenditures made in recent periods. In addition, OIBDA does not give effect to
cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for reinvestment, distributions or other discretionary uses.

OIBDA is an important part of our internal reporting and planning processes and a key measure to evaluate profitability and operating
performance, make comparisons between periods, and to make resource allocation decisions.

##### Table of Contents

There are material limitations to using non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Our calculation of
OIBDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and may not be comparable to those other measures. Additionally, OIBDA does not include certain significant items such as depreciation and amortization, interest income,
interest expense, income taxes, other non-operating income or expense items, and preferred stock dividends. OIBDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with
U.S. GAAP.

We believe that OIBDA is a relevant indicator of operating performance, especially in a capital-intensive industry
such as telecommunications. OIBDA provides us with an indication of the underlying performance of our everyday business operations. It excludes the effect of items associated with our capitalization and tax structures, such as interest income,
interest expense and income taxes, and of other items not associated with our everyday operations.

See Note 10, Segment
Reporting, in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of OIBDA to income (loss) applicable to common shareholders.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment as disclosed in
the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Free Cash Flow differs from the net change in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in that it excludes the cash impact of: all investing activities
(other than capital expenditures, which are a fundamental and recurring part of our business); all financing activities; and exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents balances.

We use Free Cash Flow as a relevant indicator of our ability to generate cash to pay debt. Free Cash Flow also is an important part of
our internal reporting and a key measure used by us to evaluate liquidity from period to period. We believe that the investment community uses similar performance measures to compare performance of competitors in our industry.

There are material limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Our calculation of Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled
measures used by other companies, and may not be comparable to those other measures. Moreover, we do not currently pay a significant amount of income taxes due to net operating losses, and we therefore generate higher Free Cash Flow than comparable
businesses that do pay income taxes. Additionally, Free Cash Flow is subject to variability quarter over quarter as a result of the timing of payments related to accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow also
does not include certain significant cash items such as purchases and sales out of the ordinary course of business, proceeds from financing activities, repayments of capital lease obligations and other debt, and the effect of exchange rate changes
on cash and cash equivalents balances. Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net change in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that Free Cash Flow is useful to our investors as it provides an indication of the underlying cash position of our
everyday business operations and the ability to pay debt.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow,
which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure, to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Although these
estimates are based on our



21

##### Table of Contents

knowledge of current events, our actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates made are based on historical factors, current circumstances, and the experience and
judgment of our management, who continually evaluate the judgments, estimates and assumptions and may employ outside experts to assist in the evaluations.

Certain of our accounting policies are deemed critical, as they are both most important to the financial statement
presentation and require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a full description of our significant accounting
policies, see Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as management believes that there have been no significant changes regarding
our critical accounting policies since such time.

New Accounting Pronouncements

recently issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements including the date of adoption and effects on our results of operations and financial position, where applicable.

Our consolidated revenues are separated into two businesses based on our target markets and sales
structure: (i) enterprise, carrier data and indirect sales channel and (ii) carrier voice.

The enterprise, carrier
data and indirect sales channel business consists of: (i) the provision of voice, data and collaboration services to all customers other than carriers and consumers; (ii) the provision of data products, including IP, transport and capacity
services, to carrier customers; and (iii) the provision of voice, data and managed services to or through business relationships with other carriers, sales agents and system integrators. The carrier voice business consists of the provision of
predominantly United States domestic and international long distance voice services to carrier customers.

Our consolidated
revenue increased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 primarily due to: (i) $26 million of beneficial foreign currency movements; and (ii) additional enterprise, carrier data and indirect
channel sales driven by growth in the existing customer base and the acquisition of new customers in specific enterprise and carrier target markets. This increase was partially offset by a decline in our carrier voice business.

Our revenue reflected continuing demand for our IP VPN, enterprise voice and data center services. Our sales order levels are a key
indicator of continuing strength in customer demand for our services. The average monthly estimated gross value for sales orders was $4.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared with $3.8 million in the three months ended
December 31, 2009. This metric is used by management as a leading business indicator offering insight into near term revenue trends. The gross values of these monthly recurring orders are estimated based on new business acquired, and they
exclude the effects of the

replacement of existing services with new services, credits and attrition (defined as customer disconnects, price reductions on contract renegotiations and customer usage declines). Other key
metrics used by management are revenue attrition and pricing trends for products in our enterprise, carrier data and indirect sales channel. Revenue attrition in the first quarter of 2010 was in line with our recent historical average. Revenue
attrition generally results from market dynamics and not customer dissatisfaction. Pricing for our VPN and managed services products has continued to decline at a relatively modest rate over the last few quarters, while pricing for specific data
products such as high-speed transit and capacity services (specifically internet access arrangements used by content delivery and broadband service providers) has continued to decline at a greater rate.

See Segment Results in this Item 2 for further discussion of results by segment.

Cost of Revenue.

Cost of revenue primarily includes the following: (i) cost of access, including usage-based voice charges paid to local exchange
carriers and interexchange carriers to originate and/or terminate switched voice traffic and charges for leased lines for dedicated facilities and local loop (last mile) charges from both domestic and international carriers;
(ii) real estate, network and operations charges which include (a) employee-related costs such as salaries and benefits, incentive compensation and stock-related expenses for employees directly attributable to the operation of our network,
(b) real estate expenses for all non-restructured technical sites, and (c) other non-employee related costs incurred to operate our network, such as license and permit fees and professional fees; (iii) third party maintenance costs
incurred in connection with maintaining the network; and (iv) cost of equipment sales and other, which includes third party professional services, software, hardware and equipment sold to our customers.

Cost of access increased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same
period in 2009. The increase in our consolidated cost of access was driven by: (i) higher enterprise, carrier data and indirect channel sales revenue; (ii) $8 million of adverse foreign currency movements; and (iii) $3 million of
costs associated with a subsea cable repair. The increase in our cost of access was partially offset by lower carrier voice sales revenue and our cost reduction initiatives to optimize access network costs and effectively lower unit prices.

Real Estate, Network and Operations. Real estate, network and operations increased in the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 primarily due to: (i) $6 million of adverse foreign currency movements; and (ii) $4 million of higher employee incentive compensation costs primarily due to accruing annual employee
incentive compensation at a higher rate in 2010. These increases were partially offset by: (i) $1 million of lower real estate costs driven by a $6 million property tax refund in the U.K., partially offset by higher rent and utilities costs;
and (ii) a $5 million decrease in other expenses principally driven by a $4 million insurance recovery in the U.K.

Third Party Maintenance.Third party maintenance increased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same
period in 2009 primarily due to adverse foreign currency movements and $1 million of costs associated with a subsea cable repair.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A).SG&A consist of: (i) employee-related
costs such as salaries and benefits, incentive compensation and stock-related expenses for employees not directly attributable to the operation of our network; (ii) real estate expenses for all non-restructured administrative sites;
(iii) bad debt expense; (iv) non-income taxes, including property taxes on owned real estate and trust fund related taxes such as gross receipts taxes, franchise taxes and capital taxes; (v) restructuring costs; and
(vi) regulatory costs, insurance, telecommunications costs, professional fees and license and maintenance fees for internal software and hardware.

The increase in SG&A in three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 was primarily due to:
(i) $4 million of adverse foreign currency movements; (ii) $3 million of higher employee incentive compensation costs primarily due to accruing annual employee incentive compensation at a higher rate in 2010; and (iii) $3 million of
higher salaries and benefits principally driven by higher sales commissions.

Depreciation and amortization.Depreciation and amortization consists of
depreciation of property and equipment, including assets recorded under capital leases, amortization of cost of access installation costs and amortization of identifiable intangibles. Depreciation and amortization increased in the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 primarily due to an increased asset base as a result of fixed asset additions, including assets recorded under capital leases, as well as by adverse foreign currency movements.

Interest expense. Interest expense includes interest related to indebtedness for money borrowed, capital lease obligations,
certain tax liabilities, amortization of deferred finance costs and interest on late payments to vendors. The increase in interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 was primarily a result of:
(i) an increase in the amount of debt outstanding as a result of the issuance of the 12% Senior Secured Notes on September 22, 2009, of which a substantial portion of the proceeds were used to retire other debt; and (ii) higher
interest related to our pound sterling denominated GCUK Notes due to adverse foreign currency movements. Interest expense is expected to be higher in 2010 as compared with 2009 as a result of the debt refinancing discussed in the 2009
Highlights section of Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC.

Other income (expense), net.Other expense, net consists of foreign currency impacts on transactions, gains and losses on the sale
of assets including property and equipment, marketable securities and other assets and other non-operating items. Other expense, net increased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 primarily as a result
of recording higher foreign exchange losses in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The higher foreign exchange losses were mainly due to a $27 million foreign exchange loss as a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar in the
first quarter of 2010.

Segment Results

Our CODMs assess performance and allocate resources based on three separate operating segments which we operate and manage as strategic
business units: (i) the GCUK Segment; (ii) the GC Impsat Segment; and (iii) the ROW Segment.

The GCUK Segment
is a provider of managed network communications services providing a wide range of telecommunications services, including data, IP and voice services to government and other public sector organizations, major corporations and other communications
companies in the U.K. The GC Impsat Segment is a provider of telecommunication services including IP, voice, data center and information technology services to corporate and government clients in Latin America. The ROW Segment represents all our
operations outside the GCUK and GC Impsat Segments and operates primarily in North America, with smaller operations in Europe, Latin America and a portion of the Asia/Pacific region and includes our subsea fiber network, serving many of the
worlds largest corporations and many other telecommunications carriers with a full range of managed telecommunication services, including data, IP and voice products. The services provided by all our segments support a migration path to a
fully converged IP environment.

Our CODMs measure and evaluate our reportable segments based on OIBDA (see Use of
Certain non-GAAP Measures above in this Item 2 for further information about OIBDA).

Revenue for our GCUK Segment increased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with
the same period of 2009 primarily as a result of $11 million of beneficial foreign currency movements.

One of our principal
customer relationships is with the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), to whom we provide an international telecommunications network known as the FTN. Our contract to provide the FTN is scheduled to expire in May 2010. We have
entered into transition arrangements in respect of the FCOs migration to the replacement for the FTN. We do not expect this to have a significant impact on our 2010 results. In addition, we continue to pursue other ordinary course commercial
opportunities with the FCO.

OIBDA in the
GCUK Segment increased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of 2009 primarily as a result of: (i) lower real estate costs driven by a $6 million U.K. property tax refund; (ii) lower other expenses
driven by a $4 million insurance recovery; and (iii) $3 million of beneficial foreign currency movements. The increase in GCUK Segment OIBDA was partially offset by: (i) higher sales commissions and other payroll costs resulting from
increased sales resource headcount; and (ii) higher employee incentive compensation costs primarily due to accruing annual employee incentive compensation at a higher rate in 2010.

movements increased GC Impsat Segment OIBDA by $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of 2009. This increase in GC Impsat Segment OIBDA was partially offset by: (i) higher third party maintenance
costs ($1 million of costs associated with a subsea cable repair); (ii) higher intercompany access charges; and (iii) higher employee incentive compensation costs primarily due to accruing annual employee incentive compensation at a higher
rate in 2010.

OIBDA in our
ROW Segment decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of 2009 primarily as a result of: (i) $5 million of higher employee incentive compensation costs primarily due to accruing annual employee
incentive compensation at a higher rate in 2010; (ii) $3 million of costs associated with a subsea cable repair; and (iii) $2 million of adverse foreign currency movements. The decrease in ROW Segment OIBDA was partially offset by
increased revenue due to continuing demand for our higher margin products and services described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition and State of Liquidity

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to
generate cash in the future. This depends to a degree on general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors (such as satisfactory resolution of contingent liabilities) that are beyond our control.

Based on our current level of operations, expected revenue growth trends and anticipated cost management and operating improvements, we
believe our future cash flow from operations, available cash and cash available from financing activities will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that currently anticipated
operating improvements will be realized on schedule or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our
indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Furthermore, we cannot provide any assurances that ongoing adverse general
economic conditions will not have a material adverse impact on our future operations and cash flows.

##### Table of Contents

We monitor our capital structure on an ongoing basis and from time to time we consider
financing and refinancing options to improve our capital structure and to enhance our financial flexibility. Our ability to enter into new financing arrangements is subject to restrictions in our outstanding debt instruments (as described below
under Indebtedness) and to the rights of ST Telemedia under our outstanding preferred shares. At any given time we may pursue a variety of financing opportunities, and our decision to proceed with any financing will depend, among other
things, on prevailing market conditions, near term maturities and available terms.

At March 31, 2010, our available
liquidity consisted of $359 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, at March 31, 2010, we also held $14 million in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Our restricted cash and cash equivalents comprise cash collateral
for letters of credit or performance bonds issued in favor of certain of our vendors and deposits securing real estate obligations.

Effective January 12, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the Venezuelan bolivar. The official rate increased from 2.15
Venezuelan bolivares to the U.S. Dollar to 4.30 for non-essential goods (which we believe includes our products and services). This devaluation reduced our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents by approximately $27 million based on the
bolivares balances as of such date (see Currency Risk below in this Item 2 for further information related to the impact of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar).

In the long term, we expect our operating results and cash flows to continue to improve as a result of the continued growth of our higher
margin enterprise, carrier data and indirect sales channel business, including the economies of scale expected to result from such growth, and from ongoing cost management initiatives, including initiatives to optimize the access network and
effectively lower unit prices. Thus, in the long term, we expect to generate positive cash flow from operating activities in an amount sufficient to fund all investing and financing requirements, subject to the possible need to refinance our
existing major debt instruments as described below. However, our ability to improve cash flows is subject to the risks and uncertainties described above in this Item 2 under Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements as
well as the variability of quarterly liquidity discussed below.

In 2010, operating cash flows will be adversely impacted by
approximately $55 million of incremental annual interest payments primarily resulting from the issuance of the 12% Senior Secured Notes and the associated refinancing. We also anticipate lower sales of IRUs and prepaid services than realized in
2009. Despite these factors, in the short-term we expect cash provided by operating activities (including IRUs and other prepaid sales) to exceed purchases of property and equipment. This expectation is based in part on raising financing for such
property and equipment from vendors and others in amounts somewhat lower than those arranged in 2009. Our ability to arrange such financings is subject to negotiating acceptable terms from equipment vendors and financing parties. In addition, our
short-term liquidity and more specifically our quarterly liquidity expectations are subject to considerable variability as a result of the timing of interest payments as well as the following factors:



| |  |  | Working capital variability significantly impacts our cash flows and causes our intra-quarter cash balances to drop to levels significantly lower than
those prevailing at the end of a quarter.

| |  |  | We rely on the sale of IRUs and prepaid services, which often involve large dollar amounts and are difficult to predict. During the three months ended
March 31, 2010, we received $23 million of cash receipts from the sale of IRUs and prepaid services compared to $32 million in the same period of 2009. Our forecasted cash flows for 2010 contemplate lower sales of IRUs and prepaid services as
compared to the $130 million in 2009.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Adverse general economic conditions could cause customer buying patterns with us to change as a result of their cash conservation efforts, which could
have an adverse impact on our cash flows. Such adverse conditions could also adversely impact our working capital to the extent suppliers seek more timely payment from us or customers pay us on a less timely basis.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have exposure to significant currency exchange rate risks. We conduct a significant portion of our business using the British Pound Sterling,
the Euro and the Brazilian Real. Appreciation of the U.S. Dollar adversely impacts our consolidated revenue. Since we tend to incur costs in the same currency in which we realize revenue, the impact on operating income and operating cash flow
is largely mitigated. In addition, the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies reduces the U.S. Dollar value of cash balances held in those currencies.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Restrictions on the conversion of the Venezuelan bolivar into U.S. Dollars have resulted in the buildup of a material excess bolivar cash balance,
which is carried on our books at the official exchange rate, attributing to the bolivar a value that is significantly greater than the value prevailing on the parallel market. If we elected, or were required, to convert our Venezuelan
subsidiarys cash balances into U.S. Dollars using unofficial, parallel currency-exchange mechanisms that may be available from time to time, material currency exchange losses would likely be incurred in the period of conversion. Additionally,
if we further determined that the unofficial parallel rate should be used in the future to measure assets, liabilities and transactions, reported results could be further adversely affected. See below in this Item 2 under Currency
Risk for further information.

| |  |  | Our liquidity may also be adversely affected if we settle or are found liable in respect of contingent legal, tax and other liabilities, and the amount
and timing of the resolution of these contingencies remain uncertain.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cash outlays for purchases of property and equipment can vary significantly from quarter to quarter due primarily to the timing of major network
upgrades. Although we have the flexibility to reduce expected capital expenditures in future periods to conserve cash, the majority of our capital expenditures are directly related to customer requirements and therefore ultimately generate long-term
cash flows.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The vast majority of our long-term debt and capital lease obligations mature after 2010.
However, we have approximately $85 million related to various debt agreements that are due and payable in the next twelve months, including the Excess Cash Offer (see GCUK Notes Tender Offer below) in which we made an offer to repurchase
approximately $18 million of the GCUK Notes. With regard to our major debt instruments, (i) the $144 million original principal amount of our 5% Convertible Notes matures in 2011 (subject to earlier conversion into GCL common stock at the
conversion price of approximately $22.98 per share); (ii) the $424 million principal amount of the GCUK Notes matures in 2014 ($18 million of which is subject to the Excess Cash Offer); and (iii) the $750 million original principal amount
of the 12% Senior Secured Notes matures in 2015. If cash on hand at the time any of these debt instruments mature is insufficient to satisfy these and our other debt repayment obligations, we would need to access the capital markets to meet our
liquidity requirements. Such access would depend on market conditions and our credit profile at the time.

As a holding
company, all of our revenue is generated by our subsidiaries and substantially all of our assets are owned by our subsidiaries. As a result, we are dependent upon intercompany transfers of funds from our subsidiaries to meet our debt service and
other payment obligations. Our subsidiaries are incorporated and operate in various jurisdictions throughout the world and are subject to legal and contractual restrictions affecting their ability to make intercompany funds transfers. Such legal
restrictions include prohibitions on paying dividends in excess of retained earnings (or similar concepts under applicable law), which prohibition applies to most of our subsidiaries given their history of operating losses, as well as foreign
exchange controls on the use of certain mechanisms to covert and expatriate funds that are particularly prevalent in Latin America. Contractual restrictions on intercompany funds transfers include limitations in our major debt instruments on the
ability of our subsidiaries to make dividend and other payments on equity securities, as well as limitations on our subsidiaries ability to make intercompany loans or to upstream funds in any other manner. These contractual restrictions arise
under our major debt instruments. However, the 12% Senior Secured Notes indenture does not restrict the ability of our subsidiaries in the ROW and GC Impsat Segments to transfer funds to GCL, although such restrictions do apply to our GCUK Segment
due to restrictions in the GCUK Notes indenture.

At March 31, 2010, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $50
million, $122 million, and $187 million at our GCUK, GC Impsat and ROW Segments, respectively (see below in this Item 2 under Currency Risk for information related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on January 12,
2010). Operational constraints require us to maintain significant minimum cash balances in each of our segments. On March 30, 2010, GCUK Segment borrowed $20 million from the ROW Segment to ensure cash balances were at prudent levels upon
completion of the annual Excess Cash Offer for the GCUK Notes. We believe that this loan, which is payable September 2013, and likely future intersegment funds transfers in amounts permitted by our debt instruments will be sufficient to enable each
of our segments to reach the point of sustained recurring positive cash flow from operating and investing activities. Most of our assets have been pledged to secure our indebtedness. Failure to comply with the covenants in any of our debt
instruments could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in an acceleration of all such debts. Such acceleration would adversely affect our rights under certain commercial agreements and have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. If the indebtedness under any of our loan instruments were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay such indebtedness
in full. In such event, we would have to raise funds from alternative sources, which may not be available on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. Moreover, a default by any of our subsidiaries under a capital lease obligation or debt
obligation totaling more than $2.5 million, as well as the bankruptcy or insolvency of any of our subsidiaries, could trigger cross-default provisions under certain debt instruments.

Indebtedness

At March 31, 2010, we had $1.453 billion of indebtedness outstanding (including long and short term debt and capital lease
obligations), consisting of $426 million of GCUK Notes ($424 million aggregate principal plus $2 million of net unamortized premium), $132 million of 5% Convertible Notes ($144 million aggregate principal less $12 million of unamortized discount),
$735 million of 12% Senior Secured Notes ($750 million aggregate principal less $15 million of unamortized discount), $134 million of capital lease obligations and $26 million of other debt.

We are in compliance with all covenants under our material debt agreements and expect to continue to be in compliance.

See Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of OperationsIndebtedness, of our 2009 annual report on Form 10-K, for a description of the GCUK Notes, 5% Convertible Notes and 12% Senior Secured Notes.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company entered into one debt agreement to finance various equipment purchases and
software licenses. The total debt obligation resulting from this agreement was $4 million and is payable over one year with annual interest of 8.8%. In addition, the Company also entered into various capital leasing arrangements that aggregated $12
million. These agreements have terms that range from 15 to 48 months with a weighted average effective interest rate of 11.6%.

GCUK Notes Tender Offer

As required by the indenture governing the senior secured notes due 2014 (the GCUK Notes), within 120 days after the end of
each twelve month period ending December 31, GCUK must offer (the Excess Cash Offer) to purchase a portion of the GCUK Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the purchase date, with 50% of Designated GCUK Cash Flow from that period. Designated GCUK Cash Flow means GCUKs consolidated net income plus non-cash charges minus capital expenditures, calculated in accordance with
the terms of the indenture governing the GCUK Notes. With respect to the 2009 Excess Cash Offer, we made an offer in April 2010 to purchase approximately $18 million, exclusive of accrued but unpaid interest. Such offer to purchase will expire on
May 11, 2010 and any associated purchases are required to be completed within 150 days after December 31, 2009.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities increased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009
primarily as a result of higher interest payments and lower IRU and prepaid services receipts in the current period. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we made $47 million of interest payments compared with $23 million in the same
period of 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 we received $23 million of cash receipts from the sale of IRUs and prepaid services compared with $32 million in the same period of 2009.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities increased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 as a
result of an increase in capital purchases.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009
primarily as a result of a decrease in amounts paid for employee taxes on certain share-based compensation.

Contractual Cash Commitments

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we entered into the following significant contractual commitments:
(i) an amendment to an equipment and service agreement that requires payment of $30 million (including value added taxes of approximately $6 million) over the next two years; and (ii) an extension of agreement for supply, installation and
maintenance of customer premises equipment that requires a payment of $23 million through 2013.

Credit Risk

We are subject to concentrations of credit risk in our trade receivables. Although our receivables are geographically dispersed and
include customers both large and small in a numerous industries, our receivables from our carrier sales channels are generated from sales of services to other carriers in the telecommunications industry. As of March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, our receivables related to our carrier sales channels represented approximately 55% and 43%, respectively, of our consolidated receivables. Also as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our receivables due from
various agencies of the U.K. Government together represented approximately 11% and 5%, respectively, of our consolidated receivables.

Currency Risk

Certain
of our current and prospective customers derive their revenue in currencies other than U.S. Dollars but are invoiced by us in U.S. Dollars. The obligations of customers with revenue in foreign currencies may be subject to unpredictable and
indeterminate increases in the event that such currencies depreciate in value relative to the U.S. Dollar. Furthermore, such customers may become subject to exchange control regulations restricting the conversion of their revenue currencies into
U.S. Dollars. In either event, the affected customers may not be able to pay us in U.S. Dollars. In addition, where we issue invoices for our services in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, our operating results may suffer due to currency
translations in the event that such currencies depreciate relative to the U.S. Dollar and we cannot or do not elect to enter into currency hedging arrangements in respect of those payment obligations. Declines in the value of foreign currencies
(such as the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar discussed below) relative to the U.S. Dollar could adversely affect our ability to market our services to customers whose revenue is denominated in those currencies.

Certain Latin American economies have experienced shortages in foreign currency reserves and have adopted restrictions on the use of
certain mechanisms to expatriate local earnings and convert local currencies into U.S. Dollars. Any such shortages or restrictions may limit or impede our ability to transfer or to convert such currencies into U.S. Dollars and to expatriate such
funds for the purpose of making timely payments of interest and principal on our indebtedness. These restrictions have a significantly greater impact on us and on our ability to service our debt as a result of the Impsat acquisition. In addition,
currency devaluations in one country may have adverse effects in another country.

In Venezuela, the official
bolivaresU.S. Dollar exchange rate established by the Venezuelan Central Bank and the Venezuelan Ministry of Finance has historically attributed to the bolivar a value that is significantly greater than the value prevailing on the
parallel market. The official rate is the rate used for recording the assets, liabilities and transactions for our Venezuelan subsidiary. Effective January 12, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the Venezuelan bolivar. The official rate
increased from 2.15 Venezuelan bolivares to the U.S. Dollar to 4.30 for non-essential goods (which we believe includes our products and services). This devaluation reduced our net monetary assets (including unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents) by approximately $27 million based on the bolivares balances as of such date resulting in a corresponding foreign exchange loss, which was recorded to other expense, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The current official rate continues to attribute to the bolivar a value that
is significantly greater than the value prevailing on the parallel market. Moreover, the conversion of bolivares into foreign currencies is limited by the current exchange control regime. Accordingly, the acquisition of foreign currency by
Venezuelan companies to honor foreign debt, pay dividends or otherwise expatriate capital is subject to registration and subject to a process of application and approval by the Comisión de Administración de Divisas (CADIVI)
and to the availability of foreign currency within the guidelines set forth by the National Executive Power for the allocation of foreign currency. Such approvals have become less forthcoming over time, resulting in a significant buildup of excess
cash in our Venezuelan subsidiary and a significant increase in our exchange rate and exchange control risks. We cannot predict if and when we will obtain CADIVI approval to honor foreign debt, distribute dividends or otherwise expatriate capital
using the official Venezuelan exchange rate or the timing of receipt of such approval. At March 31, 2010, we had $19 million registered and subject to approval by CADIVI for the conversion of bolivares into foreign currencies. If we elected, or
were required, to convert our Venezuelan subsidiarys cash balances into U.S. Dollars using unofficial, parallel currency-exchange mechanisms that may be available from time to time, material currency exchange losses would likely be incurred in
the period of conversion. Additionally, if we further determined that the unofficial parallel rate should be used in the future to measure bolivar-based assets, liabilities and transactions, reported results could be further adversely affected. As
of March 31, 2010, approximately $30 million (valued at the fixed official rate) of our cash and cash equivalents were held in Venezuelan bolivares. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our Venezuelan subsidiary generated
approximately $12 million of our consolidated revenue and $8 million of our consolidated OIBDA at the fixed official rate. As of March 31, 2010, our Venezuelan subsidiary had $27 million of net monetary assets of which $1 million and $26
million were denominated in U.S. Dollars and Venezuelan bolivares, respectively. The official exchange rate is 4.30 bolivares to the U.S. Dollar at March 31, 2010. The estimated exchange rate on the parallel market is between 6.90 and 7.00
bolivares to the U.S. Dollar at March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010 our Venezuelan subsidiary had $62 million of net assets, of which $24 million may not be transferred to GCL in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends without
the consent of a third party (i.e., CADIVI). This amount represents the difference in value of our Venezuelan subsidiarys net assets calculated using the official exchange rate as of March 31, 2010 versus such subsidiarys net assets
calculated using our estimate of the parallel market rate as at such date (since no third party consent is required to convert bolivares into U.S. Dollars on the parallel market and to then transfer such dollars to GCL).

##### Table of Contents

We conduct a significant portion of our business using the British Pound Sterling, the
Euro and the Brazilian Real. Appreciation of the U.S. Dollar adversely impacts our consolidated revenue. Since we tend to incur costs in the same currency in which we realize revenue, the impact on operating income and operating cash flow is
largely mitigated. In addition, the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies reduces the U.S. Dollar value of cash balances held in those currencies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2010 we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements outstanding.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

See Item 7A in the Companys 2009 annual report on Form 10-K for information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures
about market risk. No material change regarding this information has occurred since that filing.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) -15(e) under the Exchange Act) are controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Disclosure controls and procedures include many aspects of internal control over financial reporting (as defined later in this Item 4).

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based upon managements evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On May 9, 2007, we acquired Impsat. We are currently in the process of incorporating Impsats internal controls into our control
structure and migrating overlapping processes and systems to legacy Global Crossing processes and systems. We consider the ongoing integration of Impsat a material change in our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as noted above, there were no other material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of
2010.

|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

See
Note 8, Contingencies, to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of certain legal proceedings affecting the Company.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Except as
set forth below, there have been no material changes in the most significant factors that make an investment in the Company speculative or risky from those set forth in Item 1A., Risk Factors, to the Companys annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the
FCPA), which generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits. Although we have policies and procedures
designed to ensure that we, our employees and agents comply with the FCPA, there is no assurance that such policies or procedures will work effectively all of the time or protect us against liability under the FCPA for actions taken by our agents,
employees and intermediaries with respect to our business or any businesses that we acquire. We operate in a number of jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential FCPA violations. As previously disclosed, between 2004 and 2006 (prior to our
acquisition of Impsat in May 2007), Impsat paid approximately $23,000 (based on the exchange rate at the time of payment) to government officials to allow performance of construction work notwithstanding the fact that required permits were not
obtained. Also as previously disclosed, the Colombian National Attorney General (Procuraduría General de la Nación (NAG)) published a decision in November 2007 finding (as part of broader allegations unrelated to
Impsat) that funds originated with Impsat had been used by a contractor retained by Impsat to bribe an official within Colombias homeland security agency (Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad (DAS)). Impsat retained the
contractor in question in 2003 and paid him approximately $44,000 (based on the exchange rate at the time of payment) in 2004; we have not been able to determine whether any of these funds went to DAS officials. The NAGs decision included a
referral of the report and its findings to the criminal prosecutor, and the referral included specific reference to Impsat. One DAS official has been criminally convicted in connection with a related investigation, and criminal proceedings are
pending against two other individuals (including a former senior official at DAS). We brought these matters to the attention of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice in March 2008.
Following that disclosure we were notified that the SEC had commenced an investigation of the matter. The staff of the SEC notified us in March 2010 that it has completed its investigation and does not intend to recommend any enforcement action
by the SEC. If we are not in compliance with the FCPA and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities (including local laws), we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures, which could have
an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Any investigation of any potential violations of the FCPA or other anticorruption laws by U.S. or foreign authorities could have an adverse impact on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

In Venezuela, the official bolivaresU.S. dollar exchange
rate established by the Venezuelan Central Bank and the Venezuelan Ministry of Finance has historically attributed to the bolivar a value that is significantly greater than the value prevailing on the parallel market. The official rate is the rate
used for recording the assets, liabilities and transactions for our Venezuelan subsidiary. Effective January 12, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the Venezuelan bolivar. The official rate increased from 2.15 Venezuelan bolivares to the
U.S. Dollar to 4.30 for non-essential goods (which we believe includes our products and services). The estimated exchange rate on the parallel market is between 6.90 and 7.00 bolivares to the U.S. Dollar at March 31, 2010. This
devaluation reduced our net monetary assets (including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) by approximately $27 million based on the bolivares balances as of such date resulting in a corresponding foreign exchange loss, which was recorded to
other expense, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The current official rate continues to attribute to the bolivar a value that is significantly greater than the value prevailing on the
parallel market. Moreover, the conversion of bolivares into foreign currencies is limited by the current exchange control regime. Accordingly, the acquisition of foreign currency by Venezuelan companies to honor foreign debt, pay dividends or
otherwise expatriate capital is subject to registration and subject to a process of application and approval by the Comisión de Administración de Divisas (CADIVI) and to the availability of foreign currency within the
guidelines set forth by the National Executive Power for the allocation of foreign currency. Such approvals have become less forthcoming over time, resulting in a significant buildup of excess cash in our Venezuelan subsidiary and a significant
increase in our exchange rate and exchange control risks. We cannot predict if and when we will obtain CADIVI approval to honor foreign debt, distribute dividends or otherwise expatriate capital using the official Venezuelan exchange rate or the
timing of receipt of such approval. As of March 31, 2010, approximately $30 million (valued at the fixed official rate) of our cash and cash equivalents were held in Venezuelan bolivares. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our
Venezuelan subsidiary generated approximately $12 million of our consolidated revenue and $8 million of our consolidated

OIBDA at the fixed official rate. As of March 31, 2010, our Venezuelan subsidiary had $27 million of net monetary assets of which $1 million and $26 million were denominated in U.S. dollars
and Venezuelan bolivares, respectively. If we elected, or were required, to convert our Venezuelan subsidiarys cash balances into U.S. dollars using unofficial, parallel currency-exchange mechanisms that may be available from time to time,
material currency exchange losses would likely be incurred in the period of conversion. Additionally, if we further determined that the unofficial parallel rate should be used in the future to measure bolivar-based assets, liabilities and
transactions, reported results could be further adversely affected.
