                                  (Unaudited)

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

Global Crossing Holdings Ltd. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the
Company), a Bermuda company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Crossing
Ltd. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, GCL or Global Crossing), a
Company that is building and offering services over the world's first global
fiber optic network, consisting of 92,700 announced route miles and serving four
continents, 26 countries and more than 170 major cities. Upon completion of
GCL's currently announced systems, GCL's network, telecommunications and
Internet product offerings will be available to over 80% of the world's
international communications traffic. The systems completed or under development
by GCL will form a state-of-the-art interconnected worldwide high capacity fiber
optic network including: Atlantic Crossing-1 (AC-1) and Atlantic Crossing-2 (AC-
2), undersea systems connecting the United States and Europe; Pacific Crossing
(PC-1), an undersea system connecting the United States and Japan; East Asia
Crossing (EAC), an undersea system connecting several countries in Asia; North
American Crossing (NAC), formerly part of Frontier, a terrestrial system
connecting several major cities in the United States; Mid Atlantic Crossing
(MAC), an undersea system connecting the eastern United States and the
Caribbean; Pan American Crossing (PAC), a primarily undersea system connecting
the western United States, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela and the Caribbean; South
American Crossing (SAC), an undersea and terrestrial system connecting the major
cities of South America to MAC, PAC and the rest of the Global Crossing Network;
Pan European Crossing (PEC), primarily a terrestrial system connecting 25
European cities to AC-1; and GAL, a terrestrial system connecting a number of
cities in Japan to PC-1. The Company is in the process of developing several new
undersea and terrestrial cable systems and evaluating other business development
opportunities which will complement the Global Crossing Network.

(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
as of September 30, 1999 and for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, include the accounts of Global Crossing Holdings Ltd. and its
subsidiaries.  All material inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results of
the interim period presented.  The results of operations for any interim period
are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include all footnotes and certain financial presentation normally required under
generally accepted accounting principles.  Therefore, these financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998.

(3) ACQUISITIONS

Global Marine Acquisition

On July 2, 1999, the Company acquired the Global Marine business of Cable &
Wireless Plc in a transaction valued at approximately $870 million, consisting
of a combination of cash and assumed indebtedness.  Global Marine currently
provides services, including maintenance under a number of long-term contracts,
to cables built by more than 100 carriers and is the world's largest undersea
cable installation and maintenance company with a fleet of 13 cable ships,
representing approximately 33 percent of the world's total, 21 submersible
vehicles and 1,200 employees servicing approximately 35 percent of the world's
undersea cable miles.  Global Crossing initially financed the acquisition with
committed bank financing in the amount of $600 million and the remainder with
cash on hand.

Frontier Corporation Merger

On September 28, 1999, GCL announced the consummation of the merger of GCF
Acquisition Corp., a New York corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Global Crossing ("Merger Sub"), with and into Frontier Corporation, resulting in
Frontier becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GCL.

Under the terms of the amended merger agreement for the Frontier transaction,
Frontier shareholders received 2.05 Global Crossing common shares for each
outstanding common share of Frontier Corporation, for a total of approximately
355 million shares.  Upon the effectiveness of the merger, the then outstanding
and unexercised options exercisable for shares of Frontier Corporation common
stock were converted into options exercisable for an aggregate of approximately
25 million shares of Global Crossing common stock, having the same terms and
conditions as the Frontier Corporation options, except that the exercise price
and the number of shares issuable upon exercise were divided and multiplied,
respectively, by 2.05.  The purchase price of $10.3 billion assumes a Global
Crossing stock price of $22 15/16 per share, the average closing price of
Global Crossing common stock from September 1, 1999 through September 3, 1999,
and includes long term debt, accrued interest, and Frontier Corporation options
assumed by Global Crossing. For accounting purposes, the merger with Global
Crossing is deemed to have occurred as of the close of business on September 30,
1999.

In connection with the Frontier merger and the Global Marine Systems acquisition
(together, the Acquisitions), GCL has tentatively considered the carrying value
of the acquired assets to approximate their fair value, with all of the excess
of such acquisition costs being attributable to goodwill. GCL is in the process
of fully evaluating the assets acquired and, as a result, the purchase price
allocation among the tangible and intangible assets acquired (and their related
useful lives, including goodwill) may change. The initial evaluation of goodwill
anticipated a useful life of 40 years. Upon the completion of the final
evaluation, expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1999, it is
possible that the estimated useful life of goodwill could be less than 40 years.
The Acquisitions are being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
for business combinations.

Pro Forma Results

Following are the unaudited pro forma results of the Company and Global Marine
Systems assuming the acquisitions had been completed at the beginning of each of
the periods presented:

(4) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

As a result of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No.
43, "Real Estate Sales, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 66" (FIN 43),
which became effective July 1, 1999, certain sales of capacity may no longer be
recognized as revenue at the time the circuits are activated.  We believe that
our sales of subsea capacity will continue to be recognized as revenue upon
activation of those circuits, because we believe that subsea capacity contracts
meet the conditions for sales type lease accounting.  Beginning July 1, 1999,
revenues from the sale of terrestrial backhaul circuits are being amortized over
the terms of the contracts.  The result was a deferral of $16 million of revenue
related to terrestrial backhaul circuits activated during the third quarter.
Previously, these circuits would have been recognized as current revenue.  This
deferral in revenue recognition has no impact on cash flow.  We note that
accounting practice and authoritative guidance on this subject are still
evolving, with resolution expected within the next several months.

With GCL's acquisition of Frontier completed, services are now expected to be a
significant source of revenue on each of our systems.  Therefore, beginning
October 1, 1999, we initiated service contract accounting for our subsea
systems.  Under service contract accounting, the investment in both subsea and
terrestrial systems will be depreciated over their economic lives, and revenues
related to service contracts will be recognized over the terms of the contracts.
However, revenues and costs related to the sale of indefeasible rights of use
for subsea circuits will continue to be recognized upon activation when
appropriate.  If we had adopted service contract accounting effective January 1,
1999, there would not have been a material impact on our results of operations
during the year.

                                       10

In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133" which deferred SFAS No. 133's
effective date to fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2000.  This statement
standardizes the accounting for derivatives and hedging activities and requires
that all derivatives be recognized in the statement of financial position as
either assets or liabilities at fair value.  Changes in the fair value of
derivatives that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are to be reported in
earnings.  Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect
on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(5) NET INCOME (LOSS) APPLICABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

Since the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of GCL, per share information is
not presented.

(6) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock Option Plan.  Employees of the Company participate in the stock option
plan of GCL and the Company is therefore allocated its applicable share of stock
related expense. Details of GCL's Stock Incentive Plan are included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998.

(7) SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is a provider of Internet and long distance telecommunications
facilities and related services supplying its customers with global "point-to-
point" connectivity and, through its Global Marine Systems subsidiary, providing
cable maintenance and installation services.  In addition to its corporate
functions, the Company is engaged in two business segments worldwide and derives
its revenues from customers located in the following geographic regions: the
Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.  The Company also maintains long-lived assets
in these regions; however, the majority of these assets are in international
waters.

(8) CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

During the three months ended September 30, 1999, there were two customers that
accounted for 16% and 16% of total revenues, respectively.  In addition, the
Company derives all of its revenues from companies in the Internet and long
distance telecommunications industry and, as a result, has concentration of
credit risk in this industry.

(9) RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated
financial statements for consistent presentation.

(10) SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Asia Global Crossing

On September 8, 1999, the Company announced the establishment, together with
Softbank Corp. and Microsoft Corporation, of a new joint venture company called
Asia Global Crossing that will own EAC.  Upon formation of Asia Global Crossing,
anticipated to be completed by the end of 1999, the Company will contribute to
the venture its 58% ownership in PC-1 as well as its development rights in EAC.
Softbank and Microsoft will each contribute $175 million in cash to Asia Global
Crossing.  In addition, Softbank and Microsoft have committed to make a total of
at least $200 million in Global Crossing network capacity purchases over a
three-year period, expected to be utilized primarily on PC-1 and EAC. Softbank
and Microsoft have also agreed to use Asia Global Crossing's network in the
region, subject to specific conditions.

(11) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 Hutchison Global Crossing joint venture

   On November 15, 1999, Global Crossing entered into an agreement with
Hutchison Whampoa Limited ("Hutchison") pursuant to which Global Crossing and
Hutchison agreed to form a joint venture to pursue fixed-line telecommunications
and Internet opportunities in Hong Kong. The joint venture, to be called
Hutchison Global Crossing, will be owned in equal parts by Global Crossing and
Hutchison. In exchange for its 50 percent interest, Hutchison agreed to
contribute to the joint venture its existing building-to-building fixed-line
telecommunications network in Hong Kong and certain Internet-related assets
currently held by Hutchison Telecommunications Limited. In exchange for its 50
percent interest, Global Crossing will contribute to the joint venture
international telecommunications capacity rights on the Global Crossing Network
valued at $200 million, $50 million in cash, as well as know how related to
Internet data centers. In addition, Global Crossing will issue to Hutchison $400
million aggregate liquidation preference of 6 3/8% cumulative preferred stock
convertible into common stock of Global Crossing.


Racal Telecom Acquisition

On October 11, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Racal
Telecom, a group of wholly owned subsidiaries of Racal Electronics Plc, for
approximately $1.65 billion in cash.  Racal Telecom owns one of the most
extensive fiber telecommunications networks in the UK consisting of
approximately 4,650 route miles of fiber laid alongside railway lines and
reaching more than 2,000 cities and towns. This network would be linked to PEC
and monitored by the Company's network operations center in London, which opened
September 16, 1999.  The Company expects to complete this transaction by the end
of 1999.

                                       11

6 3/8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock

On November 5, 1999, GCL issued 10,000,000 shares of its 6 3/8% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) with a liquidation preference of
$100 per share in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.  Each share of Preferred Stock may be converted, at the
option of the holder, into 2.2222 shares of GCL common stock, resulting in a
conversion price of $45 per share of common stock received.  The Company
received net proceeds of $970 million in the transaction.

$2 Billion Senior Notes

On November 12, 1999, the Company announced that it is in the process of
completing an offering of $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of its
Senior Notes Due 2009, and $0.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of its
Senior Notes Due 2006.  The senior notes will be guaranteed by GCL.  The senior
notes are expected to be issued on November 19, 1999, subject to market
conditions.

The net proceeds from the offerings will be used by the Company primarily to
refinance existing indebtedness consisting of term loans and revolving loans
under its corporate credit facility.  The senior notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be offered and sold
pursuant to applicable exemptions from the registration requirements under that
Act.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

Revenues.

During the three months ended September 30, 1999, revenues increased $137
million (117%) to $255 million from $118 million during the three months ended
September 30, 1998.  The increase is due to carrier services revenue increasing
$53 million to $170 million during the three months ended September 30, 1999
from $118 million during the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Installation and maintenance revenue provided by Global Marine Systems during
the three months ended September 30, 1999 of $85 million, compared to unaudited
pro forma revenues during the three months ended September 30, 1998 of $87
million.

Cost of sales.  For the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Company recognized $129 million and $49 million, respectively, in cost of sales.
The increase in cost of sales is primarily due to installation and maintenance
cost of sales relating to Global Marine Systems of $58 million during the three
months ended September 30, 1999.  During the three months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, carrier services cost of capacity sold was $71 million and $49
million, respectively.

Non-cash cost of undersea capacity sold was $66 million and $42 million during
the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  During the
three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company calculated costs of undersea
capacity sold for AC-1 based on the ratio of the period's actual revenue to
total expected future revenues given a minimum projected sales capacity of 1024
circuits (512 circuits in 1998) times the construction cost of the system.  This
calculation of cost of sales matches costs with the relative value of each sale.

Since the AC-1 system became operational, the Company has offered its capacity
pursuant to sales agreements that qualify for sales type lease accounting.
Under this method, revenues and cost of capacity sold are recognized in the
period the rights and obligations of ownership transfer to the purchaser and the

1999 and 1998, the Company recorded equity in income of affiliates of $0.1
million and a loss of $1 million, respectively.  The increase is primarily due

Termination of advisory services agreement.  In connection with the development
and construction of AC-1, the Company entered into an advisory services
agreement with PCG Telecom Services LLC, an affiliate, providing for the payment
by the Company of an advisory fee of 2% of the gross revenues of ACL over a 25
year term. The Company's Board of Directors also approved similar advisory fees
and authorized the Company to enter into similar agreements with respect to
other cable systems under development by the Company. In June 1998, the Company
acquired the rights of the persons entitled to the fees payable under these
agreements in consideration for the issuance to those persons of shares of the
Company's common stock, which had an aggregate value of $135 million, and the
cancellation of approximately $3 million owed the Company under a related
advance agreement. In addition, the Company recognized approximately $2 million
of advisory fees incurred prior to termination of the contract.

connection with the Global Marine acquisition and $2 million in professional
fees associated with a consent solicitation to amend the terms of the Company's
outstanding Senior Notes.

million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively,

Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), "Reporting on the Cost of Start-Up
Activities," issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
during the three months ended March 31, 1999.  SOP 98-5 requires that certain
start-up expenditures previously capitalized during system development must now
be expensed.  The Company incurred a one-time charge during the three months
ended March 31, 1999 of $15 million (net of tax benefit) that represents start-
up costs incurred and capitalized during previous periods.

Extraordinary loss on retirement of debt.  In July 1999, the Company recognized
an extraordinary loss resulting from the payoff of existing debt in connection
with the commencement of its $3 billion Senior Secured Credit Facility,
comprising of a write-off of $15 million of unamortized deferred financing
costs.  During May 1998, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $20
million in connection with the repurchase of Global Telesystems Holdings's
outstanding senior notes, comprising of a premium of $10 million and a write-off
of $10 million of unamortized deferred financing costs.

outstanding preferred stock occurred in June 1998 and resulted in a $34 million
charge against equity.  This amount was comprised of a $16 million redemption
premium and a write-off of $18 million of unamortized discount and issuance
costs.  The redemption premium and write-off of unamortized discount and
issuance costs are treated as a deduction to arrive at net loss applicable to
common shareholders in the consolidated statements of operations.

Net loss applicable to common shareholders.  During the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Company reported net income applicable to common
shareholders of $2 million, resulting primarily from $41 million of dividends on
preferred stock and $15 million resulting from a cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the
Company reported net loss applicable to common shareholders of $156 million,
resulting in a large part from $140 million in costs associated with the
termination of the advisory service agreement and $34 million of redemption of
Global Telesystems Holdings' outstanding preferred stock.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On July 2, 1999, Global Crossing entered into a $3 billion senior secured
corporate credit facility with a group of several lenders and The Chase
Manhattan Bank as administrative agent.  The initial proceeds under the facility
were used to refinance outstanding balances under the AC-1 and MAC project
finance facilities, to refinance balances under a vendor financing arrangement
with Lucent, to refinance debt used for the purchase of the Global Marine
business from Cable & Wireless and for general corporate purposes.  As of
September 30, 1999, the Company had a remaining unused balance of $1.3 billion
under the senior secured corporate credit facility.

Global Crossing anticipates the Racal acquisition costs to be approximately
$1.65 billion.  The acquisition cost is expected to be financed with a $675
million secured bank facility at Racal (non-recourse to the Company), with the
remaining amount to be financed with proceeds from the recently issued issuance
of GCL's Preferred Stock or through other corporate financing.

                                       15
<PAGE>

Global Crossing initially financed the approximately $870 million Global Marine
acquisition, which was completed in July 1999, with approximately $600 million
in committed bank financing and the remainder with cash on hand.  This initial
indebtedness was refinanced through borrowings under the Company's senior
secured corporate credit facility.

Global Crossing estimates the total cost of developing and deploying AC-2, PC-1,
MAC, PAC, SAC, PEC and GAL to be approximately $5,095 million, excluding costs
of potential future upgrades and the amounts capitalized with respect to
warrants issued in exchange for the rights to construct PC-1, MAC and PAC.  This
total is comprised of $750 million for AC-2, $1,200 million for PC-1, $295
million for MAC, $580 million for PAC, $1,130 million for SAC, $950 million for
PEC and $190 million for GAL.  PC-1 will be financed by total equity investments
of $400 million of which Global Crossing expects to provide approximately $231
million, with the remaining $800 million of estimated costs to be financed
through non-recourse project indebtedness at the PC-1 level.  Global Crossing
has financed its 49% interest in GAL through cash on hand to date, and intends
to finance additional system costs through limited or non-recourse debt to be
raised at the GAL level.  The remaining system costs for MAC and PAC will be
financed either through bank indebtedness under the Company's senior secured
corporate credit facility or through other corporate financing.

The construction costs for PEC (including costs of acquiring dark fiber) are
estimated to be $950 million, a portion of which was paid from the proceeds of
the December 1998 issuance by Global Crossing Holdings of 10 1/2% Senior
Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "GCH Preferred Stock").  Global Crossing also
raised capital required to finance this system through a combination of
commercial bank borrowings, vendor financing and sales of dark fiber.  Financing
to complete the system is expected to be obtained from the corporate credit
facility, Preferred Stock or other corporate financing.

The Company has extended financing to customers in connection with certain CPAs.
The financing terms provide for installment payments of up to four years.  The
Company believes that its extension of financing to its customers will not have
a material effect on the Company's liquidity.

Cash provided by operating activities was $350 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and $83 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
and principally represents cash received from deposits and payments for
activated capacity pursuant to signed CPAs, plus interest income received, less
sales and marketing, network development and general and administrative expenses
paid.

Cash used in investing activities was $2,025 million and $287 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively and represents cash
paid for construction in progress, purchases of property, plant and equipment
and cash investments in affiliates.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,044 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and primarily represents borrowings under the senior
secured corporate facility, partially offset by repayments of borrowings under
long term debt.  Cash provided by financing activities was $689 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and primarily relates to proceeds from the
issuance of senior notes and borrowings under long term debt, less the increase
in the restricted cash and cash equivalents, retirement of old senior notes and
redemption of preference shares.

INFLATION

Management does not believe that its business is impacted by inflation to a
significantly different extent than the general economy.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company believes that its computer information systems are Year 2000 (Y2K)
compliant.  The Company has established a Y2K compliance task force.  The task
force has identified no potential material adverse effect on the two core
components of the Company's services: (1) transmission of capacity and (2)
management and maintenance of the transmission paths.  The Company's anticipated
worst case scenario is failure of the Network Operations Center.  In the event
the worst case scenario occurs management of the network can be performed at the
terminal stations with the network element managers or at the equipment bays
with the craft interface terminal, in each case at minimal additional cost.

The Company is also subject to external forces that generally affect industry
and commerce, such as utility, transportation or other infrastructure failures
and interruptions.  In addition to reviewing the Company's own systems, the
Company is submitting requests to third party service providers to obtain
information as to their compliance efforts.  The Company has received assurances
from major suppliers, TSSL and Lucent, stating Y2K compliance status of their
respective systems regarding AC-1 (the Company's only active system at this
time).  In addition, the Company received assurance from Alcatel Submarine
Networks, a supplier to MAC and SAC, that Alcatel is also Y2K compliant.  In the
event that any of the Company's material third party service providers do not
successfully and timely achieve Y2K compliance, the Company's business or
operations could be adversely affected.  The Company is developing contingency
plans to address any potential Y2K compliance failure due to significant third
party failures, although no such failure is expected.  To date, response from
material third party service providers has not shown any of them to be non-
compliant with Y2K readiness plans.

                                       16
<PAGE>

The Company believes that costs of addressing Y2K compliance will not have a
material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

EURO CONVERSION

On January 1, 1999, a single currency called the Euro was introduced in Europe.
Eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union agreed to adopt the
Euro as their common legal currency on that date.  Fixed conversion rates
between these countries' existing currencies (legacy currencies) and the Euro
were established as of that date.  The legacy currencies are scheduled to remain
legal tender in these participating countries between January 1, 1999 and
January 1, 2002 (not later than July 1, 2002). During this transition period,
parties may settle transactions using either the Euro or a participating
country's legacy currency.

As most of the Company's sales and expenditures are denominated in United States
dollars, management does not believe that the Euro conversion will have a
material adverse impact on the business or financial condition.  The Company
does not expect the cost of system modifications to be material and the Company
will continue to evaluate the impact of the Euro conversion.
