1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION



Global Crossing Limited (formerly GC Acquisition Ltd.), a
company organized under the laws of Bermuda in 2003 (New GCL), became the successor to Global Crossing Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda in 1997 (Old GCL), as a result of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Joint Plan of Reorganization, as amended (the Plan of Reorganization) of Old GCL and certain of its debtor subsidiaries (Old GCL, collectively with its debtor subsidiaries, the GC Debtors), pursuant to
chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) on December 9, 2003 (the Effective Date). In these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, references to the Company in
respect of time periods preceding the Effective Date are references to Old GCL and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the Predecessor), while such references in respect of time periods commencing with the Effective Date are
references to New GCL and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the Successor).



The Company provides telecommunication services using a global IP-based network that directly connects more than 300 cities in over 30 countries and
delivers services to more than 500 major cities in over 50 countries around the world. The Company serves many of the worlds largest corporations, providing a full range of managed data and voice products and services. The Company operates
throughout the Americas and Europe. The Company provides services throughout the Asia/Pacific region through commercial arrangements with other carriers.



The Companys strategy is to be a premier provider of broadband communications services in commercial centers worldwide. The Company seeks to attain
market leadership in global data and Internet Protocol (IP) services by taking advantage of its extensive broadband network and technological capabilities. Prior to August 13, 2004, through its Global Marine Systems Limited
(GMS or Global Marine) subsidiary, the Company also provided installation and maintenance services for subsea telecommunications systems.



On February 27, 2004, the Company retained Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as its financial advisor to assist in exploring
strategic alternatives regarding GMS, including the potential sale of that business. On August 3, 2004, the Companys Board of Directors approved a plan to divest GMS and on August 13, 2004, the Company consummated a series of agreements with
Bridgehouse Marine Ltd. (Bridgehouse) for the sale of GMS and the transfer of the Companys forty-nine percent shareholding in S.B. Submarine Systems Company Ltd., a joint venture primarily engaged in the subsea cable installation
and maintenance business in China, to Bridgehouse for consideration of up to $15, subject to certain conditions as defined in the agreements. As a result of these transactions Bridgehouse has assumed all of GMSs capital and operating lease
commitments and the Company is no longer subject to cross-defaults that could have been triggered under the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes and Bridge Loan Facility (as defined below) as a result of pending defaults by GMS under such lease
commitments. Management of the Company has determined that on August 3, 2004 GMS first met all required criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets (SFAS No. 144). In accordance with SFAS No. 144, GMS will be reflected as a discontinued operation in the period in which it met the criteria and will be disclosed as such in the condensed consolidated financial statements
included in the Companys quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2004. Under the indenture for the $200 of senior secured notes issued on the Effective Date (the Senior Secured Notes), in the event of a
sale of GMS, any net proceeds received by the Company, after settlement of liabilities and deal costs, were required to be used to repay the Senior Secured Notes. However, the Company received a waiver of this requirement from STT Hungary Liquidity
Management Limited Liability Company, the holder of the Senior Secured Notes (STT Hungary), which is a subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd, the Companys majority stockholder
(ST Telemedia). During 2004, the Company received a waiver from STT Hungary of the restrictions in the indenture for the Senior

Secured Notes that would otherwise have limited our ability to transfer funds from Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Limited (GCUK) to other
subsidiaries. The Company also received certain waivers from STT Hungary of the potential default under the Senior Secured Notes (and under the Bridge Loan Facility through the operation of cross-default provisions) that otherwise would have arisen
as a result of the Companys failure to provide STT Hungary with quarterly financial information in respect of the first and second quarters of 2004 by the dates required under the Indenture for the Senior Secured Notes.



At June 30, 2004, the Companys available liquidity consisted of $139 of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, including $53 related to Global Marine. Upon consummation of the sale of Global Marine to Bridgehouse on August 13, 2004, all cash held by Global Marine ceased to constitute part of the Companys
consolidated assets. At June 30, 2004, the Company also held $31 ($17 of which is included in long-term other assets) in restricted cash. This restricted cash represents collateral relating to certain letters of credit, guarantees, performance bonds
and deposits and net cash proceeds from asset sales as defined in the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes. In June 2004, the Company received approximately $11 from the sale of a marketable security, which is included in restricted cash as a
component of other assets as at June 30, 2004. On July 16, 2004, the Company received notification from STT Hungary that the restriction on the use of the proceeds from the sale of the marketable security had been removed.



The Company expects that its available liquidity will continue to decline
substantially during the second half of 2004 due to operating cash flow requirements and estimated payments of $56 for deferred reorganization costs and $15 for the final fees and expenses of retained professionals under the bankruptcy proceedings.
As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, $41 of this $71 has been paid.



On May 18, 2004, the Company reached agreement with a subsidiary of ST Telemedia to provide the Company with up to $100 in financing under a senior
secured loan facility (the Bridge Loan Facility). The Bridge Loan Facility was entered into by the Companys primary operating company subsidiary in the United Kingdom, GCUK, and STT Communications Ltd. (STTC), a
subsidiary of ST Telemedia. STTC subsequently assigned its rights and obligations under the Bridge Loan Facility to STT Crossing Ltd., another subsidiary of ST Telemedia (STT Crossing). The Bridge Loan Facility matures on December
31, 2004, and initially bore interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 9.9%. Every 90 days after the May 18, 2004 closing, the spread over LIBOR increases by 0.5%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a fee of 1.0% per annum on any
undrawn portion of the Bridge Loan Facility. Under this facility, the Company borrowed $40 on June 1, 2004, an additional $40 on August 2, 2004, and a final $20 on October 1, 2004.



The Bridge Loan Facility permits the Company to upstream the loan proceeds and use them for the general corporate purposes
of the entire Global Crossing group. The loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of GCUK and a pledge of the capital stock of GCUK. In addition, the Bridge Loan Facility is guaranteed by Global Crossing Limited and each
subsidiary that receives an economic benefit from the loan proceeds. Except in the case of Global Crossing Limited, these guarantees are limited to the funds received by each guaranteeing subsidiary.



In general, the covenants and events of default for the Bridge Loan Facility
are customary for a senior secured credit facility. These provisions include limitations on the ability of GCUK and its subsidiaries to (1) incur indebtedness or liens, (2) pay dividends or make other payments to equity holders, (3) make investments
or enter into sale and leaseback transactions or (4) sell assets or enter into consolidation or merger transactions. The Bridge Loan Facility also (a) contains cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of GCUKs repayment
obligations in the event that Global Crossing Limited or any one or more of its subsidiaries were to

default on any capital lease obligation or other debt obligation totaling more than $2.5; and (b) prohibits the Company from making any cash payment of
bonuses during the remainder of 2004, with certain limited exceptions, unless approved by a majority of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Global Crossing Limited (the GCL Board). An event of default under the Bridge
Loan Facility would, following certain notices, trigger a cross-default under the Senior Secured Notes, and an event of default under the Senior Secured Notes would, following certain notices, trigger a cross-default under the Bridge Loan Facility.



STT Crossing has the right to transfer the Bridge Loan
Facility to a bank without the Companys consent. The terms of the Bridge Loan Facility require it to be repaid from the proceeds of any debt or capital markets transaction of GCUK. In addition, STT Crossing has the right to exchange a
principal amount of the loan balance under the Bridge Loan Facility for an equivalent principal amount of debt securities issued in any such debt offering by GCUK.



As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company expects it will need to obtain up to $40 in
additional financing to fund the Companys anticipated liquidity requirements through the end of 2004. The Company will also need to refinance the Bridge Loan Facility at its maturity on December 31, 2004. Moreover, based on the Companys
current projections, the Company will need to raise substantial additional financing to meet its anticipated liquidity needs beyond 2004. If the Company is unable to raise substantial financing or improve its operating results to achieve positive
operating cash flows in the future, the Company will be unable to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements. The Company can provide no assurances in this regard.



The Company is currently seeking to arrange financing to provide it with the additional liquidity needed through the end of
2004 and beyond and to refinance the Bridge Loan Facility. Such financing may include a secured debt financing by GCUK and a working capital facility secured by certain accounts receivable. The indenture for the Senior Secured Notes currently
permits the Company to incur the following (subject to the terms of the restructuring agreement described below): (i) up to $150 in additional debt under one or more working capital facilities, (ii) up to $50 in purchase money debt or capital lease
obligations, (iii) up to $10 in debt for general corporate purposes and (iv) additional subordinated debt if the Company satisfies the leverage ratio specified in the indenture, although the Company does not expect to satisfy such ratio for the
foreseeable future.



STT Crossing has provided a commitment,
subject to certain conditions, documentation and completion of any necessary collateral filings, to increase the availability under the Bridge Loan Facility by $25, to $125. This additional $25 is intended to be advanced in early November to meet
the Companys anticipated liquidity needs through November by which time the Company believes that the secured debt financing by GCUK can be completed with currently anticipated proceeds of $300 or more. This financing, together with a working
capital facility, are intended to meet the Companys long-term funding requirements. If the GCUK debt financing is not completed in November 2004, the Company would require additional funding from ST Telemedia as discussed below. The Company
can provide no assurance that the GCUK secured debt financing will be completed.



In order to permit any secured debt financing by GCUK and any working capital facility to proceed, the Company has entered into a restructuring agreement with STTC, STT Crossing and STT Hungary. The restructuring
agreement contemplates that the following would occur simultaneously with the closing of a secured debt financing by GCUK: (1) the security interests securing the Senior Secured Notes and the Bridge Loan Facility would be released; (2) $50 (plus any
amount borrowed under the additional $25 Bridge Loan Facility commitment) of the Senior Secured Notes would be repaid; and (3) the Bridge Loan Facility and the remaining Senior Secured Notes would be refinanced by $250 principal amount of 4.7%
payable-in-kind secured debt instruments that would be mandatorily convertible into common equity of GCL after four years, or

converted earlier at ST Crossings and STT Hungarys option, into approximately 16.2 million shares of common stock of the Company (assuming
conversion after four years), subject to certain adjustments. The new secured debt instruments would be secured in a manner substantially similar to the Senior Secured Notes, except that they would not have liens on assets of GCUK. The restructuring
agreement contains general descriptions of these transactions and is subject to completion of definitive documentation satisfactory to the parties and a number of other material conditions described therein. The Company can provide no assurance that
the restructuring contemplated in the restructuring agreement will be completed.



If the Company cannot arrange additional financing by the end of November 2004, ST Telemedia has also indicated to Grant Thornton its non-binding intention, based on the Companys operating plan and commitment to
adhere to that plan, to provide up to $155 of financial support to the Company (which support may come, in part, in the form of a restructuring or refinancing of the Bridge Loan Facility, including by way of providing the additional $25 commitment)
to be used as additional working capital to fund the needs of the Companys business as required through the first quarter 2005, on such terms and conditions as the Company and ST Telemedia may agree. While ST Telemedia has indicated its
intention to provide this financial support to the Company if necessary and management expects that ST Telemedia would make such financial support available, neither ST Telemedia nor any of its affiliates has any contractual obligation to provide
financial support to the Company, and the Company can provide no assurance that ST Telemedia would provide any such financial support.



Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements



In April 2004, in the course of preparing the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2004, management of the
Company became concerned with the adequacy of the Companys accrued cost of access liabilities. Upon review, the Company concluded that its December 31, 2003 cost of access liabilities were understated by $79. After substantial review and
evolution as to how the Company should account for the understatements, the Company has finally concluded, after consultation with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that a restatement of 2003 previously reported periods is
required. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, include the impact of the restatement related to these periods. For more
information regarding the restatement and its impact to all previously issued financial statements see the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.



2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION



Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates



The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2004, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of New
GCL and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 in accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. The results of operations for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.



The
preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and



9

##### Table of Contents

GLOBAL CROSSING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

(in millions, except number of sites, square footage, employees, share and per share information)



liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying
notes, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. 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 outside experts to assist in the Companys evaluations.



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include all footnotes and certain financial presentations normally required under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.



Old GCL and certain subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and accordingly the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 have also been prepared in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. SOP 90-7 requires an
entitys statement of operations to portray the results of operations of the entity during Chapter 11 proceedings. As a result, any revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions resulting from the reorganization and
restructuring of the organization should be reported separately as reorganization items, except those required to be reported as discontinued operations and extraordinary items in conformity with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (APB
No. 30), Reporting the Results of Operations  Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, as amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 145 (SFAS No.145) Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, and SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.



Reclassifications



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



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2003, the FASB completed its deliberations regarding the proposed modification to FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46) and issued FASB Interpretation Number 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R). The decisions
reached included a deferral of the effective date and provisions for additional scope exceptions for certain type of variable interests. Application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in variable
interest entities (VIEs), or potential VIEs commonly referred to as special-purpose entities, for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities (other than small business issuers) for all other types of entities
is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Based on the analysis performed by the Company to date, the adoption of FIN 46R does not have any effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.



In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (Revised 2003),
Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (SFAS No. 132R). SFAS No. 132R increases the existing U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements by requiring more details about pension plan assets, benefit
obligations, cash flows, benefit costs and related information. Companies are now required to segregate plan assets by category, such as

debt, equity and real estate, and to provide certain expected rates of return and other informational disclosures. In addition, SFAS No. 132R requires
companies to disclose various elements of pension and postretirement benefit costs in interim-period financial statements for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003 which have been included in these notes to condensed consolidated financial
statements (See Note 5).



3. FRESH START ACCOUNTING



The Company implemented fresh start accounting and reporting in
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position No. 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7) upon its
emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date. Fresh start accounting required the Company to allocate the reorganization value to its assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values. The reorganization value of $407 was determined
pursuant to the Companys Plan of Reorganization and ST Telemedias $250 equity investment for 61.5% ownership. Adopting fresh start accounting has resulted in material adjustments to the historical carrying amount of the Companys
assets and liabilities. The reorganization value was allocated by the Company to its assets and liabilities based upon their preliminary estimated fair values. The Company engaged an independent appraiser to assist in the allocation of the
reorganization value and in determining the fair market value of its property and equipment and intangible assets. The fair values of the assets as determined for fresh start reporting were based on estimates of anticipated future cash flow.
Liabilities existing on the Effective Date are stated at the present values of amounts to be paid discounted at appropriate rates. As provided by the accounting rules, the Company uses a one-year period following the Effective Date to finalize the
allocation of the reorganization value to our assets and liabilities, excluding changes in amounts related to pre-confirmation contingencies which are included in the determination of net income in accordance with AICPA Practice Bulletin 11,
Accounting for Preconfirmation Contingencies in Fresh Start Reporting. The determination of fair values of assets and liabilities is subject to significant estimation and assumptions.



The following table reflects the debt and equity restructuring,
reorganization adjustments and the adoption of fresh start reporting adjustments to the Companys consolidated balance sheet as of the Effective Date.

costs were paid within thirty days of the Effective Date. Certain of the tax claims in the case have payment terms of up to six years.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION



Stock option plan



On December 9, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 related to stock option awards granted or modified on December 9, 2003
and thereafter. The stock compensation expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 relating to stock option awards granted under Global Crossing Limited 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan)
was approximately $5 and $9, respectively, included in Successors net loss as a component of other operating expenses. Under the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As New GCL did not have a historical basis for determining the volatility and expected life assumptions in the model due to New GCLs short market trading history, the assumptions used are an average of those
used by a select group of telecommunications companies. The assumptions used to calculate stock based compensation are an expected volatility of 70%, weighted average risk free rate of return of 3.25%, expected life of 5 years, attrition rate of 6%,
and zero dividend yield.



For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2003, the Company accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic method in accordance with APB No. 25 as amended by SFAS No. 123 and, as a result, did not recognize compensation expense. Had compensation expense been determined
and recorded based upon the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, net loss and loss per share for the Predecessor would have been the following pro forma amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 restated:

Upon consummation of
the Companys Plan of Reorganization on December 9, 2003, all outstanding options with respect of the Predecessors common stock were canceled.



Restricted stock units



During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company awarded 1,178,175 restricted stock units to employees, officers and members of the Board of
Directors under the 2003 Global Crossing Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units vest and convert into common shares of New GCL over a period between one and five years, with higher seniority employees having lengthier vesting periods.
Granted but unvested units are forfeited upon termination of employment. The fair value of the restricted stock units on the date of the grant, after reductions for assumed attrition, is amortized to stock compensation expense on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period. Compensation expense relating to the restricted stock units was approximately $3 and $4, respectively, included in Successors net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

reorganization and are disclosed separately in the Companys condensed consolidated statement of operations as required by SOP 90-7. These items include professional fees, restructuring costs and retention plan costs relating to the
reorganization. These expenses and costs were offset by gains on vendor settlements as well as interest earned on cash accumulated as a result of the GC Debtors not paying their pre-petition liabilities during the pendency of the bankruptcy
cases as well as vendor settlements. Reorganization items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 were as follows:

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITY



Effective January 1, 2003, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 146 for any exit or disposal activities initiated after January 1, 2003. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company adopted a restructuring plan for its telecommunications services segment. The plan primarily relates to
combining previously segregated customer support functions for efficiency and realigning these customer support functions from supporting customer retention and maintenance to supporting customer acquisition as a result of the Companys
emergence from bankruptcy and certain other targeted reductions. The plan resulted in the elimination of approximately 100 employees. As a result in the first quarter of 2004, the Company recorded $2 of restructuring charges, recorded in other
operating expenses, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations related to severance and related benefit obligations related to the eliminated employees. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company paid ongoing severance
payments and continuing lease obligations committed to in previously announced restructuring plans.



The table below details the activity associated with the restructuring reserve for the six months ended June 30, 2004 (unaudited):

11. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE



Basic loss per common share is computed as net loss available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Loss applicable to common stockholders includes preferred stock dividends for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. 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 a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 restated, respectively, diluted loss per common share is the same as
basic loss per common share, as any potentially dilutive securities would reduce the loss per common share from continuing operations.



The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and diluted loss per share:

disclosed as a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144. In accordance with SFAS No. 144 GMS will be reflected as a discontinued operation in the period in which it meets the criteria and will be disclosed as such in the condensed consolidated
financial statements included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2004.

13. INCOME TAXES



The Companys reorganization has resulted in a significantly modified capital structure as a result of applying fresh-start accounting in accordance
with SOP 90-7 on the Effective Date. Fresh-start accounting has important consequences on the accounting for the realization of valuation allowances, related to net deferred tax assets that existed on the Effective Date but which arose in
pre-emergence periods. Specifically, fresh start accounting requires the reversal of such allowances to be recorded as a reduction of intangibles until exhausted and thereafter as additional paid in capital and not a benefit that culminates in the
earnings process.



For the three and six months ended June 30,
2004, the Companys provision for income taxes was $13 and $27, respectively, of which $10 and $21, respectively, were attributable to the tax on current earnings, which was offset by realized pre-emergence net deferred tax assets. The reversal
of the related valuation allowance that existed at the fresh start date, which would have benefited earnings under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 109, Accounting for Income Taxes has instead been recorded as a reduction
of intangibles. Once intangibles are reduced to zero, any remaining realization of pre-emergence net deferred tax assets will be recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital. This treatment does not result in any change in liabilities to
taxing authorities or in cash flows.

14. CONTINGENCIES



Under the Plan of Reorganization, which became effective on December 9, 2003, essentially all claims against the GC Debtors that arose prior to the
commencement of the chapter 11 cases were discharged. Claims for monetary damages (and equitable claims that give rise to a right to payment), including most of the legal proceedings pending against the Company at that time, were included in that
discharge. However, certain claims pending at that time could affect the Successor. The following is a description of those claims and of claims alleged to have arisen after the commencement of the chapter 11 cases.



SBC Communications Inc. Claim



On September 8, 2004, the Company was notified by SBC Communications Inc.
(SBC) that they believe the Company is engaging in the misrouting of call traffic through third party intermediaries for the purpose of avoiding proper access charges, allegedly in violation of Federal Communications Commission orders.
SBC asserts that the Company owes it approximately $19 through July 15, 2004 and has threatened litigation for injunctive and monetary relief if the Company does not pay it this amount and agree to refrain from this allegedly improper activity by
September 15, 2004. The Company has responded to SBC denying the claim in the entirety.



Restatement Class Action Litigation



Following
the Companys April 27, 2004 announcement that the Company expected to restate certain of its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, thirteen separate class action lawsuits all purporting to be brought
on behalf of Company shareholders were commenced against the Company and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Courts in New Jersey, New York and California.



The complaints in the lawsuits allege that the Company defrauded the public securities markets by (i) understating its
access costs and accrued access liabilities, (ii) misrepresenting that the Company monitored the accuracy of systems that measured access costs and that the Company adjusted its best estimates of access costs according to data generated
from those monitoring systems, (iii) failing to disclose that the Company lacked sufficient internal controls over accounting matters, and (iv) publishing overstated financial results in violation of generally accepted accounting principles.



The complaints assert claims under the federal securities
laws, specifically Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and allege that during the applicable class period, the Company failed to disclose or misrepresented that the Company had materially understated its accrued cost of
access liability by $50 to $80 and that the Company had insufficient internal controls to detect the understatement of costs. Plaintiffs contend that that such misstatement or omissions caused the stock price to decline significantly. Plaintiffs
seek compensatory damages as well as other relief.



On June 4,
2004, the Company asked the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the MDL Panel) to centralize all of the related cases (and any others that might be filed) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. In
September 2004, the Company and two of the plaintiffs jointly requested that the MDL Panel transfer all of the cases to the Southern District of New York before the Hon. Gerald E. Lynch, who previously presided over numerous securities-law class
actions and other cases relating to the GC Debtors. Alternatively, if Judge Lynch is unable or unwilling to accept the transfer, the parties have requested that the cases be centralized in the District of New Jersey. A ruling on the transfer motion
is expected later this year. After the cases were first filed, the Company notified its insurance broker and carriers of the claims.

Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation



On February 5, 2002, the SEC commenced a formal investigation into the
Companys concurrent transactions for purchase and sale of telecommunications capacity services between the Company and our carrier customers and related accounting and disclosure issues. The Company has been cooperating with the SEC by
providing documents and other information to the SEC staff, which has taken testimony from current and former officers and directors of Old GCL. To resolve the SECs investigation, the Company and certain former officials have entered into
negotiations with the SEC staff with a view to settlement, although to date a final settlement has not been reached.



As part of the chapter 11 process, the SEC filed a proof of claim asserting contingent and unliquidated amounts against the Company. However, on November
14, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court approved a stipulation among Predecessor, the SEC and the Companys unsecured creditors committee in which the SEC withdrew its proof of claim, with prejudice.



Department of Justice Inquiry



In early 2002, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Central District of
California, in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (the FBI), began conducting an investigation into the Companys concurrent transactions and related accounting and disclosure issues. The Company has provided
documents to the U.S. Attorneys office and the FBI, and FBI representatives have interviewed a number of current and former officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not know whether the investigation is ongoing or has concluded.



Department of Labor Investigation



The Department of Labor (DOL) is conducting an investigation
related to the Companys administration of its benefit plans, including the acquisition and maintenance of investments in the Companys 401(k) employee savings plans. The Company has been cooperating with the DOL by providing documents and
other information to the DOL staff, and the DOL has interviewed a number of the officers and employees of Old GCL. Following its investigation, the DOL and certain current and former directors, officers and employees of Old GCL entered into
settlement agreements in July 2004 resolving that investigation. Neither Old GCL nor the Company is a party to any of those agreements. Any claims arising out of the DOLs ability to impose a civil monetary penalty on the Company was discharged
upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization.



Claim by the United States
Department of Commerce



A claim was filed in the
Companys bankruptcy proceedings by the United States Department of Commerce (the Claimant) on October 30, 2002 asserting that an undersea cable owned by Pacific Crossing Limited (PCL), a former subsidiary of the
Company, violates the terms of a Special Use permit issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Company believes responsibility for the asserted claim rests entirely with the Companys former subsidiary. An identical
claim has also been filed in the bankruptcy proceedings of the former subsidiary in Delaware. On July 11, 2003, the Company and the Global Crossing Creditors Committee filed an objection to this claim with the bankruptcy court. Subsequently,
Claimant agreed to limit the size of the pre-petition portion of its claim to $13.5. Negotiations with PCL to resolve the remaining issues are ongoing but no final resolution has been reached.

United Kingdom Anti-Trust Investigation



In 2002, an investigation was commenced by the United Kingdom Office of Fair Trading (OFT) regarding an
allegation that various subsea cable operator entities, including the Company, had engaged in an illegal agreement to collectively boycott a location in the United Kingdom as a means for the landing of subsea telecommunications cables in the United
Kingdom. The Company responded to that investigation in 2002 denying the allegation.



In August 2003, the OFT extended its investigation in respect of allegations of price fixing and information sharing on the level of fees that the subsea entities would pay landowners for permission to land submarine
telecommunication cables on their land in the United Kingdom. The Company responded to those allegations on October 10, 2003. In July 2004, the Company received a request for the production of certain information and documentation, to which it
responded in August 2004.



The Company has cooperated fully
with the investigation and has supplied additional factual materials including a number of formal witness statements. In the event that the OFT determines that the Company engaged in anti-competitive behavior, the OFT may impose a fine up to a
maximum of 10% of the responsible partys revenue in the field of activity in the United Kingdom for up to three years preceding the year on which the infringement ended. No findings have been made against the Company and the Company continues
to deny any wrongdoing.



Qwest Rights-of-Way Litigation



In May 2001, a purported class action was commenced against three of the
Companys subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges that the Company had no right to install a fiber optic cable in rights-of-way granted by the plaintiffs to certain
railroads. Pursuant to an agreement with Qwest Communications Corporation, the Company has an indefeasible right to use certain fiber optical cables in a fiber optic communications system constructed by Qwest within the rights-of-way. 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 has been brought on behalf of a national class of landowners
whose property underlies or is adjacent to a railroad right-of-way within which the fiber optic cables have been installed. 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 Companys North American network includes capacity purchased from Qwest on an Indefeasible Rights of Use (IRU) basis. Although the
amount of the claim is unstated, an adverse outcome could have an adverse impact on the Companys ability to utilize large portions of the Companys North American network. This litigation was stayed against the Company pending the
effective date of the Plan of Reorganization, and the plaintiffs pre-petition claims against the Company were discharged at that time in accordance with its 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 portion 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 Global Crossing originally purchased this capacity.

In September 2002, Qwest and certain of the other telecommunication carrier defendants filed a
proposed settlement agreement in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On July 25, 2003, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and entered an order enjoining competing class action claims, except
those in Louisiana. The settlement and the courts injunction are opposed by some, but not all, of the plaintiffs counsel and are on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. If the pending settlement is rejected by
the Court of Appeals and claimants ultimately prevail, the Company believes that it is entitled to indemnification from Qwest for any losses.



Customs Tax Audit



A foreign tax authority has concluded a preliminary audit of the Companys books and records for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and has
made certain initial findings adverse to the Company including the following: failure to disclose discounts on certain goods imported into the country, failure to include the value of software installed on certain computer equipment, and clerical
errors in filed import documents.



The Company has now received
a formal assessment in the amount of $9.3. The potential customs and duties exposure, including possible treble penalties to the Company, could be as high as $25-$35. The Company is continuing to work with the tax authority to resolve the audit.



Administrative Claims from the Chapter 11 Case



Under the Plan of Reorganization, claims arising after the commencement of
the GC Debtors chapter 11 cases (Administrative Claims) are to be paid in full. As is typical in chapter 11 cases, Administrative Claims were asserted against the GC Debtors that far exceed the amount owed. The Successor has
assumed these obligations and is in the process of resolving such Administrative Claims. The Company does not believe that the resolution of those claims will have an adverse effect on the Successor.



OGCbuying.solutions Claim



GCUK was previously notified by the UK government buying department,
OGCbuying.solutions (OGC), of OGCs contractual right under certain conditions to buy, for a fixed sum of £0.75, dedicated equipment used by GCUK for the provisioning of certain network services under an agreement dated
November 15, 1996 (the MTS Agreement). The cost of such dedicated equipment could have greatly exceeded this fixed sum.



However, on June 21, 2004, the parties negotiated a two-year extension of the MTS Agreement and the exposure for the equipment purchase was eliminated.



Network Rail Copper Lease



A portion of the GCUK Network is subject to a finance lease with Network
Rail, the owner of the railway infrastructure in the UK. Those provisions of the finance lease addressing copper cable and PABX equipment used by the Company to deliver managed voice services to UK train operating companies (the Copper
Provisions) may be terminated on 12 months notice. In connection with its plans to modernize the signaling system on the UK railways, Network Rail has indicated that it will terminate the Copper Provisions effective as of March 31, 2005.



Negotiations with Network Rail to secure commercially
reasonable alternative arrangements have progressed satisfactorily and the Company anticipates that formal agreements will be concluded and executed in

the near future. However, it is possible that definitive agreements will not be concluded, in which case the Company would need to put in place alternative
arrangements with third parties in order to continue to provide managed voice services to train operating companies in the UK and to avoid the breach of certain customer contracts pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide these services
beyond March 31, 2005. In the short term, such arrangements may be on terms significantly less favorable than those contained in the current lease.



The aforementioned finance lease with Network Rail also addresses other assets of the Company located along the UK railways, including fiber optic cable.
The provisions of the finance lease addressing substantially all these other assets will not terminate until at least 2010, and in most cases well beyond that. The balance of Global Crossings network assets in the UK, which are unconnected
with Network Rail, are also unaffected by the anticipated termination of the Copper Provisions.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



Business Restructuring Plan



On October 8, 2004, the Companys board of directors approved a restructuring plan designed to focus on businesses that are consistent with the
Companys overall strategy  to be a premier provider of global data and Internet Protocol (IP) services by building on its extensive broadband network and technological capabilities. The restructuring plan involves
concentrating the Companys efforts in areas that the Company anticipates will provide profitable growth opportunities and moving away from a number of unprofitable and non-strategic parts of the business. The Company will begin to implement
the restructuring plan during the fourth quarter of 2004. The Company has developed the restructuring plan in light of ongoing adverse conditions in the telecommunications industry, in particular the continued pricing pressures for
telecommunications services. The Company believes that the implementation of the restructuring plan will over time reduce the Companys financing requirements, accelerate the date by which its operating cash flow will be sufficient to satisfy
its anticipated liquidity requirements and lead to overall profitability for the Company. The restructuring plan has the following three principal elements.



First, the Company will downsize, discontinue or exit several business areas. These include small business and consumer local and long distance, financial
industry trader voice, calling card, and other low margin services. The Company plans to accomplish this through a series of actions, including commercial actions

intended to improve profitability and dispositions and other strategic alternatives. The most significant business that will be affected by these actions is
the Companys legacy North American voice business. The Company anticipates that the restructuring actions will result in significant reductions in revenue from this business area, while continuing with a core, higher margin revenue base
sufficient to maintain network efficiencies.



Second, the
Company will implement workforce reductions, facilities consolidation and other cost savings initiatives. The Company expects that these restructuring efforts will result in the elimination of approximately 600 positions, representing approximately
15% of its workforce, by March 2005 across a range of business functions and job classes, principally in the Companys North American operations. The Company expects to achieve approximately $40 to $45 in annual cost savings from the
elimination of these positions. As part of the restructuring plan, the Company also plans to close and consolidate a number of offices and other real estate facilities, with associated anticipated annual cost savings of approximately $1 to $2. The
restructuring plan also includes outsourcing initiatives intended to reduce ongoing operating expenses, principally in the area of non-access related procurement.



Third, the Company will place greater emphasis on several new business development initiatives in areas where it can
capitalize on the Companys IP network and capabilities. These initiatives are focused principally on global IP offerings and new carrier data offerings and on expanding the Companys distribution capabilities through systems integrators
and other indirect channels. The Company plans to redeploy certain personnel and reorganize its sales and marketing efforts around these initiatives.



As a result of these efforts, the Company estimates that it will incur cash restructuring charges of approximately $12 to $14 for severance and benefits
in connection with the anticipated workforce reduction and approximately $4 to $5 related to the real estate consolidation. In addition, the Company is in the process of identifying and evaluating specific vendor contracts implicated by the
restructuring in order to estimate the associated restructuring charge, which is expected to be material. Once determined, such estimate will be disclosed in a subsequent SEC report.



Sale of Global Marine Systems



On August 3, 2004, the Companys board of directors approved a plan to divest GMS and on August 13, 2004, the Company consummated a series of
agreements with Bridgehouse for the sale of GMS and the transfer of the Companys forty-nine percent shareholding in S.B. Submarine Systems Company Ltd., a joint venture primarily engaged in the subsea cable installation and maintenance
business in China, to Bridgehouse for consideration up to $15, subject to certain conditions as defined in the agreements. As a result of these transactions Bridgehouse has assumed all of GMSs capital and operating lease commitments and the
Company is no longer subject to cross-defaults that could have been triggered under the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes and the Bridge Loan Facility as a result of pending defaults by GMS under such lease commitments. Management of the
Company has determined that on August 3, 2004, GMS first met all required criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No.
144). In accordance with SFAS No. 144, GMS will be reflected as a discontinued operation in the period in which it met the criteria and will be disclosed as such in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Companys
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2004.

requirements which include repayment of our borrowings under the Bridge Loan Facility due December 31, 2004.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The covenants in our debt instruments restrict our financial and operational flexibility.

| |  | Our access to capital is likely to be limited.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------



Risks Related to our Operations



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

| |  | 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.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We depend on our key personnel and qualified technical staff and, if we lose their services, our ability to manage the day-to-day aspects of our business and complex network will be
weakened. We may not be able to hire and retain qualified personnel, which could adversely affect our operating results.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements



In April 2004, in the course of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2004, we
became concerned with the adequacy of our accrued cost of access liabilities. Upon review, we concluded that the December 31, 2003 cost of access liabilities were understated by $79 million. After substantial review and evolution as to how we should
account for the understatement, we have finally concluded, after consultation with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that a restatement of 2003 previously reported periods is required. The condensed consolidated financial
statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, include the impact of the restatement related to these periods. For more information regarding the restatement and its impact to
all previously issued financial statements see the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.



Executive Summary



Overview



We are a global provider of telecommunications services to carriers and commercial enterprises around the world. The principal services we offer to our
customers include voice, data and conferencing services. We offer these services using a global IP-based network that directly connects more than 300 cities in over 30 countries and delivers services to more than 500 major cities in over 50
countries around the world. The majority of our telecommunications services revenues and cash flows are generated based on monthly recurring services. Prior to August 13, 2004, through our Global Marine subsidiary we also provided installation and
maintenance services for subsea telecommunications systems.



Second Quarter 2004 Highlights



Our revenues
for both the telecommunications services and installation and maintenance segments decreased in the second quarter of 2004 compared with the second quarter of 2003 as a result of continued pricing reductions for telecommunications services, lower
demand for the installation and maintenance of subsea cables systems and reduced revenue from the amortization of prior period IRUs as a result of fresh start accounting on our emergence from bankruptcy on December 9, 2003 (the Effective
Date). While the volume of telecommunications services sold has increased, as a result of increased sales to new and existing customers, the continued decline in product pricing has resulted in lower overall revenues.



Revenues in the installation and maintenance segment continued to decrease in
the second quarter of 2004 as compared with the second quarter of 2003 primarily due to the expiration of a significant maintenance contract on January 1, 2004, which was in effect for all of 2003. In addition, installation revenues were lower due
to reduced installation activity and the early termination of two sub-charter agreements.



Our cost of access expense represents the most significant portion of our consolidated operating expenses at 61% and 63% (as restated) of the total during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Our cost of access expense decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. Although our sales volume increased, our cost of access charges decreased as a result of

cost of access reduction initiatives. These initiatives included shifting suppliers, contract and tariff renegotiations to lower access rates, facility
network access optimization, switched network access optimization through direct end office trunking and the continued review of access charges, special promotions and disputes resolution. The result of the improvement in cost of access unit charges
was a flat telecommunications services segment gross margin, excluding IRU amortization revenue, even though there were significant decreases in revenue and a improvement in gross margin percentage all despite the significant reductions in pricing
for our telecommunications services offerings.



Telecommunications services segment gross margin, excluding IRU amortization revenue, is calculated as follows:

We experienced
negative cash flow from operations during the second quarter of 2004. At June 30, 2004, we had $139 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, including $53 million related to Global Marine. We expect our available liquidity to continue to
decline substantially during the remainder of 2004 due to operating cash flow requirements and estimated payments of $56 million for deferred reorganization costs and $15 million for the final fees and expenses of retained professionals under the
bankruptcy case.



In May 2004, we entered into an agreement
with a subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd (ST Telemedia) regarding a $100 million senior secured loan facility (the Bridge Loan Facility) (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below for further description
of the Bridge Loan Facility). The Bridge Loan Facility matures on December 31, 2004 so we will need to arrange for other financing to take its place.



As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, management expects that the Company will need to obtain up to $40 million in
additional financing to fund the Companys anticipated liquidity requirements through the end of 2004. The Company will also need to refinance the Bridge Loan Facility at its maturity on December 31, 2004.



The Company is currently seeking to arrange financing to provide it with the
additional liquidity needed through the end of 2004 and beyond and to refinance the Bridge Loan Facility. Such financing may include a secured debt financing by GCUK and a working capital facility secured by certain accounts receivable.



On October 8, 2004, STT Crossing Ltd. (STT Crossing), a
subsidiary of ST Telemedia, made a commitment, subject to certain conditions, to increase the availability under the Bridge Loan Facility by $25

million to meet the Companys anticipated liquidity needs through November, by which time the Company believes that a secured debt financing by GCUK can
be completed. In order to facilitate such a secured debt financing, STTC, STT Crossing and STT Hungary have agreed to restructure the Senior Secured Notes and the Bridge Loan Facility. The agreement governing the terms of such restructuring is
described below in  Liquidity and Capital Resources  Financial Condition and State of Liquidity.



If the Company cannot arrange additional financing by the end of November 2004, ST Telemedia has also indicated to Grant Thornton its non-binding
intention, subject to the conditions described below under - Liquidity and Capital Resources  Financial Condition and State of Liquidity, to provide up to $155 million of financial support to the Company (which support may come, in
part, in the form of a restructuring or refinancing of the Bridge Loan Facility, including by way of providing the additional $25 million commitment) to be used as additional working capital to fund the needs of the Companys business as
required through the first quarter of 2005. The Company can provide no assurances in this regard.



Business Restructuring Plan



On October 8, 2004, our board of directors approved a restructuring plan designed to focus on businesses that are consistent with our overall strategy  to be a premier provider of global data and Internet Protocol (IP)
services by building on our extensive broadband network and technological capabilities. The restructuring plan involves concentrating our efforts in areas that we anticipate will provide profitable growth opportunities and moving away from a number
of unprofitable and non-strategic parts of the business. We will begin to implement the restructuring plan during the fourth quarter of 2004. We have developed the restructuring plan in light of ongoing adverse conditions in the telecommunications
industry, in particular the continued pricing pressures for telecommunications services. We believe that the implementation of the restructuring plan will over time reduce our financing requirements, accelerate the date by which our operating cash
flow will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated liquidity requirements and lead to overall profitability for the Company. The restructuring plan has the following three principal elements.



First, we will downsize, discontinue or exit several business areas. These
include small business and consumer local and long distance, financial industry trader voice, calling card, and other low margin services. We plan to accomplish this through a series of actions, including commercial actions intended to improve
profitability and dispositions and other strategic alternatives. The most significant business that will be affected by these actions is our legacy North American voice business. We anticipate that the restructuring actions will result in
significant reductions in revenue from this business area, while continuing with a core, higher margin revenue base sufficient to maintain network efficiencies.



Second, we will implement workforce reductions, facilities consolidation and other cost savings initiatives. We expect that these restructuring efforts
will result in the elimination of approximately 600 positions, representing approximately 15% of our workforce, by March 2005 across a range of business functions and job classes, principally in our North American operations. We expect to achieve
approximately $40 million to $45 million in annual cost savings from the elimination of these positions. As part of the restructuring plan, we also plan to close and consolidate a number of offices and other real estate facilities, with associated
anticipated annual cost savings of approximately $1 million to $2 million. The restructuring plan also includes outsourcing initiatives intended to reduce ongoing operating expenses, principally in the area of non-access related procurement.



Third, we will place greater emphasis on several new business
development initiatives in areas where we can capitalize on our IP network and capabilities. These initiatives are focused principally on global IP offerings and new carrier data offerings and on expanding our distribution capabilities through
systems integrators and other indirect channels. We plan to redeploy certain personnel and reorganize our sales and marketing efforts around these initiatives.

##### Table of Contents

As a result of these efforts, we estimate that we will incur cash restructuring charges of approximately
$12 million to $14 million for severance and benefits in connection with the anticipated workforce reduction and approximately $4 million to $5 million related to the real estate consolidation. In addition, we are in the process of identifying and
evaluating specific vendor contracts implicated by the restructuring in order to estimate the associated restructuring charge, which is expected to be material. Once determined, such estimate will be disclosed in a subsequent SEC report.



Reorganization



Global Crossing Limited (formerly GC Acquisition Ltd.), a company organized under the laws of Bermuda in 2003 (New
GCL), became the successor to Global Crossing Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda in 1997 (Old GCL), as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Joint Plan of Reorganization, as amended
(the Plan of Reorganization) of Old GCL and certain of its debtor subsidiaries (Old GCL, collectively with its debtor subsidiaries, the GC Debtors), pursuant to chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the
Bankruptcy Code) on the Effective Date. For a description of the results of the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and the accounting impact of the reorganization see Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis in our
annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.



Critical
Accounting Policies



Our discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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 these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management continually evaluates its judgments, estimates and assumptions, including those related to the critical accounting
policies described below based on historical experience and available information. The following are our critical accounting policies that affect significant areas of our financial statements and involve significant judgment, assumptions,
uncertainties and estimates. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by management in making these estimates, the impact on our consolidated financial statements could be material. For a full description of our
significant accounting policies, see Note 5 Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.



Fresh-Start Accounting and Reporting



Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we adopted fresh start accounting and
reporting which resulted in material adjustments to the historical carrying amount of our assets and liabilities. Fresh start accounting and reporting was applied in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities
in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7), which required us to allocate the reorganization value to our assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values. The fair value of the assets, as determined for
fresh start reporting, was based on estimates of anticipated future cash flows of these assets discounted at appropriate current rates. Liabilities existing at the Effective Date were stated at the present values of expected amounts to be paid
discounted at appropriate current rates. We engaged an independent appraiser to assist in the allocation of the reorganization value and in determining the fair market value of its property and equipment and intangible assets. Deferred taxes were
reported in conformance with existing generally accepted accounting principles. Debt issued in connection with the Plan of Reorganization was recorded at fair value. As provided by the accounting rules, we use a one-year period following the
Effective Date to finalize the allocation of the reorganization value to our assets and liabilities, excluding changes in amounts related to pre-confirmation contingencies which are included in the determination of net income in accordance with
AICPA Practice

Revenue Recognition and Related Reserves



Telecommunications Services



Revenues derived
from telecommunication and maintenance services, including sales of capacity under operating type leases, are recognized as services are provided. Payments received in advance of providing services are deferred until the period in which these
services are provided.



Telecommunications Installation
Revenues



We recognize revenue related to
telecommunication installation services and equipment in accordance with guidance included in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB No. 101) as amended by SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB No. 104). Under the provisions of SAB No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 104, installation revenues and the associated costs related to installation are to be recognized over the longer of
the contractual period or expected customer relationship. We have determined our average expected customer relationship to be approximately 2 years and as such, that is the period over which we amortize our installation revenue unless the
contractual period exceeds 2 years. The determination of the term of our average expected customer relationship is based on historical experience, including contractual periods and attrition rates and future expectations that are subject to
significant estimation and assumption.



Percentage-of-Completion



Revenue and
estimated profits under long-term contracts for subsea telecommunication installation by Global Marine are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, whereby sales and profits are recognized as work is performed based on the
relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs to complete. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first become determinable. The determination of estimated costs to complete involves significant
estimation and assumption.



Sales Credit Reserves



During each reporting period we must make estimates for
potential future sales credits to be issued in respect of current revenues, related to billing errors, service interruptions and customer disputes. We analyze historical credit activity and changes in customer demands related to current billing and
service interruptions when evaluating our credit reserve requirements. We reserve known billing errors and service interruptions as incurred. We review customer disputes and reserve against those we believe to be valid claims. We also estimate a
general sales credit reserve related to unknown billing errors and disputes based on such historical credit activity. The determination of the general sales credit and customer dispute credit reserve requirements involves significant estimation and
assumption.



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts



During each reporting period we must make estimates for potential losses
resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We analyze our reserve requirements using several factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, changes in the customers creditworthiness, the
customers payment history, the length of the customers relationship with us, the current economic climate, current industry trends and other relevant factors. A specific reserve requirement review is performed on customer accounts with
larger balances. A general reserve requirement is developed on most accounts utilizing the factors previously mentioned. We have historically experienced significant changes month to month in reserve level requirements, primarily due to
unanticipated large customer bankruptcy filings or other insolvency proceedings. Due to the



35

##### Table of Contents

current economic climate, the competitive environment in the telecommunications sector and the volatility of the financial strength of particular customer
segments including resellers and CLECs, the collectibility of receivables and credit worthiness of customers can become more difficult and unpredictable. Changes in the financial viability of significant customers, worsening of economic conditions
and changes in our ability to meet service level requirements may require changes to our estimate of the recoverability of the receivables. In some cases receivables previously charged off are recovered and are recognized as a reduction in bad debt
expense in the period realized. Appropriate adjustments will be recorded to the period in which these changes become known. The determination of both the specific and general allowance for doubtful accounts reserve requirements involves significant
estimation and assumption.



Cost of Access Accruals



Background



Our cost of access primarily comprises usage-based voice charges paid to
other carriers to originate and/or terminate switched voice traffic and charges for leased lines for dedicated facilities.Cost of access is our single largest expense, amounting to approximately 72% of telecommunications services
segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which segment represented approximately 96% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004.



As a result of a review we initiated in April 2004, we determined that there was a material weakness in our internal control
over financial reporting related to cost of access accounting in our North American operations, including the failure to make use of available information to conduct an aggregate true-up of estimated cost of access expenses to actual cash payments
made to access providers. This weakness resulted in an understatement of cost of access in 2003 and gave rise to the restatement of our 2003 financial statements. A description of this weakness and the remediation measures that have been and are
being undertaken by us is set forth in Item 4, Controls and Procedures, of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.



Set forth below is a summary of our current policy and procedures regarding cost of access accounting after giving effect to changes made in light of our
cost of access review. This summary reflects significant changes in the processes utilized to validate the monthly estimates of the cost of access accrual produced by our underlying cost of access expense estimation processes in North America.
Except for the implementation of the COA Overlay (as defined below), the overall design of our cost of access estimation process remains materially unchanged, although refinements have been made to improve the accuracy of inputs to the process.



Policy and Use of Management
Estimates



Our policy is to record access expense as
services are provided by vendors. Access costs for switched voice traffic are estimated and expensed based on the volume of access services purchased, as measured by the Companys internal cost of access expense systems, and the access rates
determined by contracts between the Company and its access providers and/or tariff rates obtained from industry data sources. Access costs for leased lines are expensed based on invoice data and on estimates of the impact of circuits acquired or
disconnected during the applicable month. We make a preliminary estimate of monthly access costs incurred based on this information. We then adjust this preliminary estimate based on an analysis of historical differences between such preliminary
monthly estimates and the comparable amounts determined by the validation procedures described below, including the rebuilding of the cost of access accrual on a 90 day lag basis using aggregate cash payment information. The amount of the adjustment
to our preliminary estimate is referred to in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as the COA Overlay. The recognition of access costs involves the use of significant management estimates and assumptions and requires reliance on
non-financial systems.



The estimation and validation of cost
of access expense is extremely complex due to the following: changing regulations regarding access rules and related charges; the frequency of pricing changes in the market; constantly changing traffic patterns; the volume of information and
inconsistency or deficiencies in external



36

##### Table of Contents

databases, particularly regarding line ownership information; delays in invoicing by access vendors; and the receipt of multiple invoices from the same
vendor. This is particularly true in North America, where approximately 85% of our total access charges were incurred in 2003. Thus, our estimates of access charges are imprecise and may differ from the actual costs for the relevant periods when
they are finally settled in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the improved cost of access expense estimation and accrual validation processes reflected in the below summary, we believe that we have now established appropriate reserves
for our accrued cost of access liabilities.



Principal
Estimation Systems



For switched voice traffic, each month
the minutes recorded by our switches (the minutes of use or MOUs) are multiplied by the estimated rate for those minutes for that month; the result, after adjusting for any applicable COA Overlay, is the usage expense and
accrued usage cost recorded for that month. We use proprietary systems to identify, capture, and measure usage-based voice charges in North America using multiple sources of data, including: MOU data recorded by the Companys switches; vendor
identification and rate information in widely used industry databases; rate element estimates for smaller vendors; historical data; and actual contract rates for certain usage-based charges.



For leased lines, each month the expense is calculated based on the number of
circuits and the average circuit costs, according to our leased line inventory system, adjusted for contracted rate changes. Our inventory system is based on invoices received from facilities providers, which generally bill in advance of the period
in which services are provided, as adjusted to track the daily changes in our circuit inventory due to customer acquisitions and disconnections. An outside service provider assists us in maintaining and managing our circuit inventory.



We monitor the accuracy of our systems to measure network volumes and track
circuits, and our rate tables are updated frequently to maintain the accuracy of the rate structure we have with our access providers and per the current regulated tariff rates.



Accounting Entries for Cost of Access



The initial expenses estimated by our cost of access systems are expensed each month in our consolidated financial
statements, with a corresponding increase in the cost of access accrual. As invoices for MOUs purchased or access lines leased in North America are received and approved for payment, the Company records balance sheet entries to reduce the accrual
and increase accounts payable. Similarly, disbursement of cash to North American access vendors is also a balance sheet entry, reducing accounts payable and cash. Outside of North America, invoices are expensed upon receipt and the related estimates
are reversed. This methodology is practicable outside of North America because there are far fewer invoices (particularly manual invoices) and access vendors and a lower level of regulatory complexity in those regions.



Validation of the North American Cost of Access Accrual



A reconciliation of North American cost of access charges at the individual
invoice level is impracticable given the magnitude of invoices received (particularly manual invoices), with approximately 15,000 invoices being received each month, the incompatibility of vendor billing information with our cost of access
estimation systems, and the high frequency of disputed charges. We therefore use procedures designed to validate the cost of access accrual established by our cost of access estimation systems.



The primary validation procedures now used in North America are: a monthly
rebuilding of the cost of access accrual on a 90 day lag basis using aggregate cash payment information from our financial systems; a comparison, by type of expense (e.g., domestic or international MOUs), of the expense estimates produced by our
cost of access estimation systems to the actual vouchered amounts billed by major vendors; a corroborative review between experienced and knowledgeable employees in the operational and financial cost of access



37

##### Table of Contents

management organizations; and a statistical analysis of the timing of the receipt and vouchering of cost of access invoices and their related service
periods. Due to invoicing delays by access vendors, which result in the receipt of invoices up to 90 days after the end of the month in which services were provided, it is not possible to complete a comprehensive true-up to actual cash payments at
the time of the issuance of the Companys balance sheet within the time frames required by applicable periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Thus, cost of access accrual estimates are subject to the imprecision discussed above
even after giving effect to the application of the Companys cost of access estimate validation processes. Any mis-estimates reflected in a given balance sheet that are discovered through a subsequent true-up procedure are addressed through
change in estimate adjustments made in the preparation of the ensuing balance sheet. We believe that our improved cost of access expense estimation and accrual validation processes allow us to establish appropriate reserves for our accrued cost of
access liabilities and that any such change in estimate adjustments will therefore be immaterial.



Disputes



We perform monthly bill verification procedures to identify errors in vendors billing processes. The bill verification procedures include the
examination of bills, comparing billed rates with rates used by the cost of access expense estimation systems during the cost of access monthly close process, evaluating the trend of invoiced amounts by vendors, and reviewing the types of charges
being assessed. These procedures do not include a comparison of invoiced amounts to amounts accrued in the financial statements. If we discover a bill that appears to contain possible inaccuracies in rate or volume data, we record a charge to the
cost of access expense and a corresponding increase to the access accrual for the disputed amounts, unless past experience or other corroborating evidence indicates that it is not probable that the Company will ultimately be required to pay. If we
ultimately reach an agreement with an access vendor in which we settle a disputed amount for less than the corresponding accrual, we recognize the resultant settlement gain in the period in which the settlement is reached. Previously unaccrued
disputes are tracked in a log and reviewed periodically to assess whether a loss has now become probable and reasonably estimable, in which case an accrual is established. We generally withhold payments on all amounts subject to dispute until the
dispute is settled.



Impairment of Long-Lived Assets



We assess the possible impairment of long-lived
assets composed of property and equipment, intangibles and other assets held for a period longer than one year, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset(s) may be impaired. Intangible assets are also
reviewed annually for impairment whether or not events have occurred that may indicate impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted net future cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. If these projected future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, impairment would be recognized, resulting in a write-down of the assets with a corresponding charge to earnings. The impairment loss is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their fair value. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated by assets to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves
significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involves, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long term revenues, revenue growth, operating expenses, capital expenditures, and expected
periods the assets will be utilized.



As discussed in Note 3,
Fresh Start Accounting, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we adopted fresh start accounting upon our emergence from bankruptcy under SOP 90-7, which resulted in a change
in the value of our long-lived assets. The change was a result of allocating the reorganization value to our assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values.



Pension and Other Post Retirement Benefits



We maintain benefit plans for our employees, including defined benefit pension plans and other post retirement benefit
plans. On a consolidated basis, the fair value of benefit obligations exceeds pension plan assets resulting in expense. Other post retirement benefit plans are immaterial. The calculation of pension expense and pension liability requires the use of
a number of estimates and assumptions. Significant benefit plan assumptions include the assumed discount rate used, the long-term rate of return of plan assets and rate of future increases in



38

##### Table of Contents

compensation. The assumptions we use are based on historical experience and by evaluating predictions on matters such as rates of return and mortality
provided by third party advisors such as actuaries and investment advisors. Changes in these assumptions can result in different expense and liability amounts, and future actual experience can materially differ from the assumptions.



Deferred Taxes



Our current and deferred income taxes, and associated valuation allowances,
are impacted by events and transactions arising in the normal course of business as well as in connection with special and non-recurring items. Assessment of the appropriate amount and classification of income taxes is dependent on several factors,
including estimates of the timing and realization of deferred income tax on income and deductions. Actual realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities may materially differ from these estimates as a result of changes in tax laws as well as
unanticipated future transactions impacting related income tax balances.



The assessment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is based on the weight of available evidence that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities were first
applied to the deferred tax assets reducing the need for a valuation allowance. Future utilization of the remaining net deferred tax asset would require the ability to forecast future earnings. Based on past performance resulting in net loss
positions, sufficient evidence exists to require a full valuation allowance on the net asset balance.



As a result of our bankruptcy, estimates have been made that impact the deferred tax balances. The factors resulting in estimation include but are not
limited to the fresh start valuation of assets and liabilities, implications of cancellation of indebtedness income and various other matters. Additional information and analysis is required in order to finalize these preliminary calculations.



As a result of our emergence from bankruptcy and our adoption
of fresh start accounting rules under SOP 90-7, all pre-emergence deferred tax assets which are realized through the reversal of established valuation allowances are to be recorded as a reduction of intangibles until exhausted and thereafter
reported as additional paid-in capital and therefore should not culminate in the earnings process of the company as a deferred tax benefit. However, this does not preclude the company from realizing the cash tax benefits from these assets.



Restructuring



We have engaged in restructuring activities, which require us to make
significant judgments and estimates in determining restructuring charges, including, but not limited to, future severance costs and other employee separation costs, sublease income or disposal costs, length of time on market for abandoned rented
facilities, and contractual termination costs. Such estimates are inherently judgmental and changes in such estimates, especially as they relate to contractual lease commitments and related anticipated third party sub-lease payments, could have a
material effect on the restructuring liabilities and consolidated results of operations.



See further discussions in this Item and Note 9, Restructuring Activity, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this interim report on Form 10-Q, for information on
restructuring activities for the three months ended June 30, 2004.



Telecommunications Installation Costs



We recognize costs related to the purchase of third party telecommunication installation services and equipment in accordance with the guidance included in SAB No. 101 as amended by SAB No. 104. Under this guidance, installation costs are
recognized over the longer of the contractual period or expected customer relationship. We have determined our average expected customer relationship to be approximately 2 years and, as such, this is the period over which we amortize our third party
installation costs unless the contractual period exceeds 2 years. The determination of the term of our expected customer relationship is based on historical experience, including contractual periods and attrition rates and future expectations that
are subject to significant estimation and assumption.

Stock-Based Compensation



On December 9, 2003, Successor adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123), for all stock awards granted or modified on or after the Effective Date. Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Once the fair value of a stock award is
calculated we estimate the number of stock awards expected to actually vest (total stock awards granted less stock awards reduced by expected employee attrition) to determine total expected stock compensation expense. The total expected stock
compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the stock awards vesting terms; provided that the amount amortized as of a given date may be no less than the portion of the stock award vested as of such date. We use the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option awards. The Black-Scholes model requires several subjective inputs including expected volatility, expected life of the option and expected dividend yield. As we have restructured our
business through the bankruptcy process, we do not have appropriate historical experience (especially towards the volatility input due to our short market trading history) to assist us in determining the inputs and have therefore based our inputs,
excluding dividend yield which is based on our expectation, on the average of a select group of our competitors assumptions. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the options are a 70% expected volatility, a 5-year expected life
of the option and 0% dividend yield. The estimated 6% employee attrition has been based on a review of historical attrition, prior to entering into bankruptcy, and current telecommunications market trends. The determination of inputs used in the
Black-Scholes option pricing model and expected employee attrition involves significant estimation and assumption.

Commercial revenues
decreased in the second quarter of 2004 as compared with the second quarter of 2003 as a result of pricing declines in voice, data and conferencing services and customer attrition for certain commercial customer sectors (primarily small business and
legacy financial markets customers) during the post-June 30, 2003 bankruptcy period due to concerns about our financial viability. These factors were partially offset by increases in voice, data and conferencing sales volumes. Average annual
declines in each of voice and conferencing services have been greater than 10%, respectively. We have also seen significant pricing declines in commoditized data services such as IP access and private line services. The rate of these price declines
have slowed from prior trends and pricing for premium products such as IP VPN and Managed Services applications have not declined at a similar rate relative to those products. We have seen particularly intense competitive pressures in the North
American markets. Commercial sales volumes increased marginally for voice and data services and approximately 10% for our conferencing services. The increases in sales volumes of conferencing services was, in part, the result of greater
collaboration between the conferencing and commercial sales force representatives to target existing commercial customers not yet using Global Crossings conferencing services as well the sale of conferencing services to new customers, and the
development and market introduction of new products such as iVideo and IP video conferencing. The increases in revenues from volume increases were not large enough to offset the impact from pricing declines. We experienced a slight change in our
sales mix towards the higher margin data products (48% of total commercial revenues in the second quarter of 2004 versus 47% in the second quarter of 2003) from the lower margin voice services products. This sales mix change was primarily a result
of growth in our global managed services sales, particularly in the United Kingdom, and lower data customer attrition than voice customer attrition during the bankruptcy period, coupled with growth in IP Access and DSL. Conferencing services were
static at 8% of total commercial revenues.



Consumer
revenues.We continue to minimize our investment in our consumer business as we have determined this business is not core to our strategy. We have no plans to grow this business as the costs to maintain and acquire customers are expected to
exceed the benefits to our future profitability. Therefore we expect consumer revenues to continue to decline as a result of customer attrition and price erosion of the existing customer base.



Carrier revenues.Service revenue in the carrier channel
relates to the provision of voice and data services to our telecommunications carrier customers.

##### Table of Contents

Carrier service revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2004 as compared with the second quarter of
2003 as a result of declines in the average unit prices of voice and data services. The lower unit prices were partially offset by modest increases in sales volume of both voice and data services. Our sales mix between the higher margin data
services and lower margin voice services remained constant for both periods at 13% and 87%, respectively, of carrier services revenue.



Voice services revenue decreased as a result of a greater than 15% decrease in average annual unit prices. The decrease in average unit prices is a result
of continued competition in both the United States domestic wireline services and international long distance services markets. The voice unit price declines, were partially offset by increases in sales volumes of approximately 10%, as penetration
into Wireless, Cable, and ISP/ESP continues to gain traction.



Data services revenue decreased as a result of a decrease in average annual unit prices and reductions in OA&M revenue, partially offset by an increase in sales volume in products such as IP Access to the Cable, ISP/ESP and University
Data market segments.



Revenue recognized relating to the
amortization of IRUs sold in prior periods decreased in the second quarter of 2004 as compared with the second quarter of 2003 as a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date. The adoption of fresh start accounting
resulted in the elimination of approximately 90% of deferred revenue, to reflect its then fair value, resulting in the lower revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2004.

Maintenance revenue
decreased primarily due to the expiration of a significant maintenance contract on January 1, 2004, which was in effect for all of 2003, and also due to reductions in spare part purchasing by customers for their subsea systems due to tighter system
capital spending. Installation revenue decreased due to a continued decline in installation contract revenue as a result of the oversupply of subsea capacity in the global telecommunications market since late 2001 and the early termination of two
sub-charter agreements in early 2003.



Operating
Expenses. Components of operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 restated were as follows:

Cost of access for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 includes a $17 million charge resulting from the restatement described earlier in the item under Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements. Our cost of access expense decreased as a result of
cost of access initiatives to negotiate lower cost of access unit prices and eliminate non-revenue usage. These initiatives include: shifting suppliers, contract and tariff renegotiations, facility network access optimization including extending the
access network closer to the customer as well as migrating lower trunk speeds to higher speeds, optimization through direct end office trunking and increased review of access charges, special promotions and disputes resolution. Usage based access
charges decreased $41 million to $297 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $338 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Usage based charges decreased as a result of per unit pricing reductions, partially offset by volume
increases. Through our cost of access initiatives, we were able to negotiate pricing reductions to lower overall unit charges for usage-based access and modestly improve our margin for usage-based services. Leased line access charges decreased $8
million to $153 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $161 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Our leased line charges are access charges related to our data services sales. Our cost of access initiatives were successful
in maintaining an equal decrease in leased line based access charges, as compared with the decrease in data services revenue, which helped to maintain a stable gross margin for leased services.



Third party maintenance expenses decreased primarily as a result of
optimizing vendor arrangements with certain terrestrial and equipment maintenance vendors and the transition of certain third party managed costs into employee-managed maintenance at lower rates (which is included in other operating
expenses below).



Other operating expenses.Other operating expenses from our telecommunications services segment primarily consist of (i) cost of sales, relating to our managed services and conferencing services; (ii) real estate and network operations related expenses, including all
administrative real estate costs; (iii) selling and marketing expenses; (iv) bad debt expense; (v) 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; and (vi) general and administrative expenses (G&A), including all administrative employee related expenses, regulatory costs, insurance and professional fees. The components of other operating expenses for our installation and
maintenance segment include (i) cost of sales, consisting of all direct costs on installation projects and direct operating costs of the maintenance business, including all vessel and direct manning costs, and (ii) G&A expenses, including all
administrative employee related expenses, bad debt expense, administrative real estate, insurance and professional fees.

Telecommunications Services Segment Other Operating Expenses 



The increase in cost of sales was a result of (i) leasing additional
equipment to connect our customers to our network to deliver our managed services product as a result of increased managed services sales and (ii) higher cost of sales rates upon renewal of old contracts with vendors for servicing our managed
services product.



Real estate and network operations related
expenses decreased primarily as a result of (i) reductions in salaries and benefits expenses due to lower network operations headcount as a result of the benefit in 2004 of restructuring activities initiated during 2003, and (ii) lower real estate
taxes due to an approximate $8 million real estate tax rebate for a property tax assessment in the United Kingdom received in the second quarter of 2004. These were partially offset by (i) an increase in rental properties throughout 2003, resulting
in rent increases on these properties for the full quarter of 2004, (ii) increased facility maintenance costs due to a number of aging facilities, and (iii) increases in employee related costs as a result of accruing an annual bonus in 2004 and
salary increases effective January 1, 2004 (although overall employee costs were lower as a result of lower headcount). The total 2004 annual bonus accrual for the second quarter was approximately $2 million. No annual bonus expenses were incurred
in 2003.



Sales and marketing expenses increased primarily due
to (i) increases in salaries and benefits costs as a result of headcount increases in 2004 and (ii) increases in marketing expenses as a result of new marketing programs to support our strategy of acquiring new customers upon emergence from
bankruptcy. In addition, other employee related costs were higher in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from the same period in 2003, as a result of accruing an annual bonus in 2004 and salary increases effective January 1, 2004 for the marketing
and salaried sales employees. No annual bonus expenses were incurred in 2003.



Bad debt expense decreased primarily due to improvements in the aging of our accounts receivable through focused collection efforts, enhanced evaluations of customers creditworthiness and credit limits and the
tightening of our payment terms for our international long distance reseller customers which provided for lower levels of general reserve requirements. Our international long distance seller customers are generally higher financial risk than other
customers and the tightening of payment terms with such customers has reduced this

risk. In addition, we recorded approximately $2 million in bad debt expenses in the second quarter of 2003 related to a significant carrier customer
defaulting on its payments.



Non-income taxes decreased as we
have reduced payments for personal property, capital stock, franchise and gross receipts taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2004.



Stock-related expense for the second quarter of 2004 consists of (i) $5 million stock compensation expense related to the December 9, 2003 stock option
grant, and (ii) $3 million related to the March 8, 2004 restricted stock grant. See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this interim report on Form 10-Q. There
were no stock related expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2003 relating to Predecessor option grants which were accounted for under APB No. 25.



G&A costs increased primarily as a result of (i) increases in employee related costs related to the accrual of an annual
bonus expense in 2004 and salary increases effective January 1, 2004, (ii) increases in professional fees expenses primarily related to the investigation and review of our cost of access liability and the planning, documenting and testing of our
internal control systems for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements, (iii) an increase in insurance expense as a result of increased premiums upon renewal of our insurance policies, and (iv) recognizing a $3 million reduction in G&A
expenses in the second quarter of 2003 related to our deferred gain on the disposal of our former GlobalCenter subsidiary.



Installation and Maintenance Segment Other Operating Expenses 



Cost of sales pertaining to our installation and maintenance segment decreased primarily as a result of reduced installation projects and maintenance
contract requirements (resulting in lower third party project costs) and aggressive cost reduction efforts via tighter controls on vessel spending and reduction of repair activity in response to the cyclical downturn in the segments market.
These aggressive cost reduction efforts commenced in the latter part of 2002 and continued through 2004, and resulted in reduced vessel related costs, manning charges and overhead expenses.



General and administrative costs pertaining to our installation and
maintenance segment decreased primarily as a result of staff reductions in connection with Global Marines restructuring activities during 2003 which resulted in lower employee costs in the second quarter of 2004 compared with the second
quarter of 2003.



Depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization consists of depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of customer installation costs and amortization of identifiable intangibles. The increase in depreciation and amortization in the
second quarter of 2004 compared with the second quarter of 2003 is directly attributable to the revaluation of property and equipment and intangibles, as a result of the fresh start accounting adjustments, on the Effective Date and the impact of
depreciating additional capital purchases since the Effective Date.

The increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred finance costs
is primarily a result of interest expense incurred from the Senior Secured Notes. During the second quarter of 2004 we recorded interest expense, including the amortization of deferred finance fees, related to the Senior Secured Notes of
approximately $6 million. We also incurred less than $1 million in interest expense from our June 1, 2004 draw under the Bridge Loan Facility agreement. The increase was partially offset by a approximate $1 million decrease in the interest expense
related to the capital lease obligations in the second quarter of 2004 compared with the second quarter of 2003 primarily as a result of a rejection of a significant capital lease agreement under the Bankruptcy Code on February 28, 2003 and
amendments of other capital lease agreements. The increase in interest income in the second quarter of 2004 is a result of all interest income earned during the bankruptcy period (which included the entire second quarter of 2003) being reflected in
reorganization items, net in accordance with the provisions of bankruptcy reporting pursuant to SOP 90  7. We expect our interest expense to increase in the second half of the year as a result of our borrowings under the Bridge Loan Facility.



Other income, net. The decrease in other income,
net is primarily a result of changes in the amount of gains or losses resulting from foreign currency impacts on transactions, and gains from the extinguishment of obligations under long-term service agreements. Foreign currency transactions gains
decreased $23 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $3 million compared with $26 million in the second quarter of 2003. Further, during the second quarter of 2003 certain of our obligations under long-term prepaid lease agreements for services on
our network were terminated either through customer settlement agreements or through bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that purchased services from us. As a result of these terminations, we no longer had any requirement to provide services to
these customers and therefore, the remaining deferred revenue of approximately $9 million was recognized in other income. During the second quarter of 2004 we did not recognize any gains from the extinguishment of our obligations under
long-term service agreements.



Reorganization items, net.We have no reorganization items in the three months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date. During periods prior to the Effective Date, reorganization items represented expenses and income
incurred or realized as a direct result of the reorganization under bankruptcy that commenced on January 28, 2002. Reorganization items are reported separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in accordance with the provisions
of SOP 90-7. The reorganization items comprise (i) costs related to the employee retention programs, (ii) retained professional fee costs associated with the reorganization, (iii) interest income attributable to increased GC Debtors cash
balances as a result of the bankruptcy, (iv) adjustments to liabilities subject to compromise to the settlement claim amounts allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, and (v) costs incurred in connection with our continued restructuring

Provision for
income taxes. The increase in the provision for income taxes is primarily attributable to the unique tax accounting that applies under fresh start accounting to deferred tax benefits realized by the Company following its emergence from
bankruptcy protection. Fresh start accounting requires the realization of valuation allowances, related to net deferred tax assets that existed on or prior to the Effective Date, to be recorded as a reduction of intangibles until exhausted, and
thereafter are reported as additional paid in capital. The $10 million tax provision related to the application of these rules does not result in any cash taxes. In addition, minimum taxes were applicable beginning with the first quarter of 2004 in
tax jurisdictions for which we were exempt in 2003 resulting in an increase of $1 million in the second quarter of 2004 as compared with the second quarter of 2003.

Commercial revenues
decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003 as a result of pricing declines in voice, data and conferencing services and customer attrition for certain commercial customer sectors (primarily
small business and legacy financial markets customers) during the post-June 30, 2003 bankruptcy period due to concerns about our financial viability. These factors were partially offset by increases in voice, data and conferencing sales volumes.
Average annual declines in each of voice and conferencing services have been greater than 10%, respectively. We have also seen significant pricing declines in commoditized data services such as IP access and private line services. The rate of these
price declines have slowed from prior trends and pricing for premium products such as IP VPN and Managed Services applications have not declined at a similar rate relative to those products. We have seen particularly intense competitive pressures in
the North American markets. Commercial sales volumes increased marginally for voice and data services and approximately 10% for conferencing services. The increases in sales volumes of conferencing services was, in part, the result of greater
collaboration between the conferencing and commercial sales force representatives to target existing commercial customers not yet using Global Crossings conferencing services as well the sale of conferencing services to new customers, and the
development and market introduction of new products such as iVideo and IP video conferencing. The increases in revenues from volume increases were not large enough to offset the impact from pricing declines. We experienced a slight change in our
sales mix towards the higher margin data products (48% of total commercial revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2004 versus 47% in the six months ended June 30, 2003) from the lower margin voice services products. This sales mix change was
primarily a result of growth in our global managed services sales, particularly in the United Kingdom, and lower data customer attrition than voice customer attrition during the bankruptcy period, coupled with growth in IP Access and DSL.
Conferencing services was static at 8% of total commercial revenues.



Consumer revenues.We continue to minimize our investment in our consumer business as we have determined this business is not core to our strategy. We have no plans to grow this business as the costs to maintain and acquire
customers are expected to exceed the benefits to our future profitability. Therefore we expect consumer revenues to continue to decline as a result of customer attrition and price erosion of the existing customer base.



Carrier revenues.Service revenue in the carrier channel
relates to the provision of voice and data services to our telecommunications carrier customers.

Carrier service revenues decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the six months
ended June 30, 2003 as a result of declines in the average unit prices of voice and data services. The lower unit prices, were partially offset by modest increases in sales volume of both voice and data services. Our sales mix between the higher
margin data services and lower margin voice services remained constant for both periods at 13% and 87%, respectively, of carrier services revenue.



Voice services revenue decreased as a result of a greater than 15% decrease in average annual unit prices. The decrease in average unit prices is a result
of continued competition in both the United States domestic wireline services and international long distance services markets. The voice unit price declines, were partially offset by increases in sales volume of greater than 10% as penetration into
Wireless, Cable, and ISP/ESP market continues to gain traction.



Data services revenue increased as a result of an increase in sales volume, partially offset by decreases in average annual unit prices. The majority of the increase in sales volume resulted from an increase in sales of IP services (IP
access to the Cable, ISP/ESP, and University data market segments). The increase in sales of IP services was partially offset by average unit pricing declines due to continued competition.



Revenue recognized relating to the amortization of IRUs sold in prior periods
decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003 as a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date. The adoption of fresh start accounting resulted in the elimination of
approximately 90% of deferred revenue, to reflect its then fair value, resulting in lower revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Maintenance revenue
decreased primarily due to the expiration of a significant maintenance contract on January 1, 2004, which was in effect for all of 2003, and also due to reductions in spare part purchasing by customers for their subsea systems due to tighter system
capital spending. Installation revenue decreased due to a continued decline in installation contract revenue as a result of the oversupply of subsea capacity in the global telecommunications market since late 2001 and the early termination of two
sub-charter agreements in early 2003.

Cost of access for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes a $42 million charge resulting from the restatement described earlier in the item under Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements. Our cost of access expense decreased as a result of cost
of access initiatives to negotiate lower cost of access unit prices and eliminate non-revenue usage. These initiatives include: shifting suppliers, contract and tariff renegotiations, facility network access optimization including extending the
access network closer to the customer as well as migrating lower trunk speeds to higher speeds, optimization through direct end office trunking and increased review of access charges, special promotions and disputes resolution. Usage based access
charges decreased $55 million to $626 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $681 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Usage based charges decreased as a result of per unit pricing reductions, partially offset by volume
increases. Through our cost of access initiatives we were able to negotiate pricing reductions to lower the overall unit charges for usage-based access and marginally improve our margin for usage-based services. Leased line access charges decreased
$19 million to $303 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $322 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our leased line charges are access charges related to our data services sales. Our cost of access initiatives were successful
in maintaining an equal decrease in leased line based access charges, as compared with the decrease in data services revenue, which helped to maintain a stable gross margin for leased services.

Third party maintenance expenses decreased primarily as a result of optimizing vendor arrangements with
certain terrestrial and equipment maintenance vendors and the transition of certain third party managed costs into employee-managed maintenance at lower rates (which is included in other operating expenses below).

NM  not meaningful



Telecommunications Services Segment Other Operating Expenses 



The increase in cost of sales was a result of (i) leasing additional
equipment to connect our customers to our network to deliver our managed services product as a result of increased managed services sales and (ii) higher cost of sales rates upon renewal of old contracts with vendors for servicing our managed
services product.



Real estate and network operations related
expenses decreased primarily as a result of (i) reductions in salaries and benefits expenses due to lower network operations headcount as a result of the benefit in 2004 of restructuring activities initiated during 2003, and (ii) lower real estate
taxes due to an approximate $8 million real estate tax rebate for a property tax assessment in the United Kingdom received in the six months ended June 30, 2004. These items were partially offset by (i) an increase in rental properties throughout
2003, resulting in rent increases on these properties for all of 2004, (ii) increased facility maintenance costs due to a number of aging facilities, and (iii) increases in employee related costs as a result of accruing an annual bonus in 2004 and
salary increases effective January 1, 2004 (although overall employee costs were lower as a result of lower headcount). The total 2004 annual bonus accrual for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $4 million. No annual bonus expenses
were incurred in 2003.



Sales and marketing expenses increased
primarily due to (i) increases in salaries and benefits costs as a result of headcount increases in 2004, and (ii) increases in marketing expenses as a result of new marketing programs to support our strategy of acquiring new customers upon
emergence from bankruptcy. In addition, other employee related costs were higher in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from the same period in 2003, as a result of accruing an annual bonus in 2004 and salary increases effective January 1, 2004 for
the marketing and salaried sales employees. No annual bonus expenses were incurred in 2003.

Bad debt expense decreased primarily due to (i) improvements in the aging of our accounts receivable
through focused collection efforts, enhanced evaluations of customers creditworthiness and credit limits and the tightening of our payment terms for our international long distance reseller customers which provided for lower levels of general
reserve requirements. Our international long distance seller customers are generally higher financial risk than other customers and the tightening of payment terms with such customers has reduced this risk, (ii) an approximate $2 million recovery in
the six months ended June 30, 2004 from a significant carrier customer for previously reserved balances, and (iii) we recorded approximately $7 million in bad debt expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2003 related to two significant carrier
customer defaulting on their payments.



Non-income taxes
decreased as we have reduced payments for personal property, capital stock, franchise and gross receipts in the six months ended June 30, 2004.



Stock-related expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 consists of (i) $9 million stock compensation expense related to the December 9, 2003 stock
option grant, and (ii) $4 million related to the March 8, 2004 restricted stock grant. See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this interim report on Form 10-Q.
There were no stock related expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2003 relating to Predecessor option grants which were accounted for under APB No. 25.



G&A costs increased as a result of (i) incurring $2 million of restructuring costs in the six months ended June 30, 2004
which are included in other operating expenses while restructuring costs incurred during the bankruptcy period were included as reorganization items (see Reorganization Items, Net below), (ii) increases in professional fees
expenses primarily related to the investigation and review of our cost of access liability and the planning, documenting, and testing of our internal control systems for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements, (iii) an increase in insurance
expense as a result of increased premiums upon renewal of our insurance policy, (iv) an increase of approximately $1 million in corporate advertising in the six months ended June 30, 2004 related to our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective
Date, and (v) recognizing a $6 million reduction in G&A expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2003 related to our deferred gain on the disposal of our former GlobalCenter subsidiary. The increase related to the items above were partially
offset by decreases in communications costs as a result of programs to reduce our mobile and long distance charges by converting to VOIP technology and other cost saving initiatives.



Installation and Maintenance Segment Other Operating Expenses 



Cost of sales pertaining to our installation and maintenance segment decreased primarily as a result of reduced installation
projects and maintenance contract requirements (resulting in lower third party project costs) and aggressive cost reduction efforts via tighter controls on vessel spending and reduction of repair activity in response to the cyclical downturn in the
segments market. These aggressive cost reduction efforts commenced in the latter part of 2002 and continued through 2004, and resulted in significantly reduced vessel related costs, manning charges and overhead expenses.



General and administrative costs pertaining to our installation and
maintenance segment decreased as a result of staff reductions in connection with Global Marines restructuring activities during 2003 which resulted in lower employee costs during the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the six months
ended June 30, 2003.



Depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization consists of depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of customer installation costs and amortization of identifiable intangibles. The increase in depreciation and amortization in the
six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003 is directly attributable to the revaluation of property and equipment and intangibles, as a result of the fresh start accounting adjustments, on the Effective Date
and the impact of depreciating additional capital purchases since the Effective Date.

NM  not meaningful



The increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred finance costs
is as a result of interest expense incurred from the Senior Secured Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 we recorded interest expense, including the amortization of deferred finance fees, related to the New Senior Secured Notes of
approximately $12 million. We also incurred less than $1 million in interest expense from our June 1, 2004 draw under the Bridge Loan Facility agreement. The increase was partially offset by a approximate $2 million decrease in the interest expense
related to the capital lease obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003 primarily as a result of a rejection of a significant capital lease agreement under the Bankruptcy Code on February 28,
2003 and amendments of other capital lease agreements. The increase in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is a result of all interest income earned during the bankruptcy period (the entire first six months of 2003) being
reflected in reorganization items, net in accordance with the provisions of bankruptcy reporting pursuant to SOP 90  7. We expect our interest expense to increase in the second half of the year as a result of our borrowings under the Bridge
Loan Facility.



Other income, net. The decrease
in other income, net is primarily a result of changes in the amount of gains or losses resulting from foreign currency impacts on transactions, gains from the extinguishment of obligations under long-term service agreements and a gain recorded for
recovery of legal fees under our Directors and Officers insurance policy. Foreign currency transaction gains decreased $14 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 to a $2 million transaction loss compared with $12 million transaction gains in
the six months ended June 30, 2003. Further, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 certain of our obligations under long-term prepaid lease agreements for services on our network were terminated either through customer settlement agreements or
through bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that purchased services from us. As a result of these terminations, we no longer had any requirement to provide services to these customers and therefore, the

remaining deferred revenue of approximately $9 million was recognized in other income. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 we did not
recognize any gains from the extinguishment of our obligations under long-term service agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 we recorded a $8 million gain from a recovery of legal fees incurred for class action lawsuits under our
Directors and Officers insurance policy.



Reorganization
items, net.We have no reorganization items in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date. During periods prior to the Effective Date, reorganization items represented expenses and
incomes incurred or realized as a direct result of the reorganization under bankruptcy that commenced on January 28, 2002. Reorganization items are reported separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in accordance with the
provisions of SOP 90-7. The reorganization items comprise (i) costs related to the employee retention programs, (ii) retained professional fee costs associated with the reorganization, (iii) interest income attributable to increased GC Debtors
cash balances as a result of the bankruptcy, (iv) adjustments to liabilities subject to compromise to the settlement claim amounts allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, and (v) costs incurred in connection with our continued restructuring efforts (see
Restructuring Charges above for further discussion). The reorganization items consisted of the following:

Provision for
income taxes. The increase in the provision for income taxes is primarily attributable to the unique tax accounting that applies under fresh start accounting to deferred tax benefits realized by us following our emergence from bankruptcy
protection. Fresh start accounting requires the realization of valuation allowances, related to net deferred tax assets that existed on or prior to the Effective Date, to be recorded as a reduction of intangibles until exhausted, and thereafter are
reported as additional paid in capital. The $21 million tax provision related to the application of these rules does not result in any cash taxes. In addition, minimum taxes were applicable beginning with the first quarter of 2004 in tax
jurisdictions for which we were exempt in 2003 resulting in an increase of $2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003. Other changes in the provision for income taxes are not significant.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Financial Condition and State of Liquidity



At June 30, 2004, our available liquidity consisted of $139 million of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, including $53 million related to Global Marine. Upon consummation of the sale of Global Marine to Bridgehouse Marine Ltd. (Bridgehouse) on August 13, 2004, all cash held by Global Marine ceased to
constitute part of our consolidated assets. At June 30, 2004, we also held $31 million ($17 million of which is included in long-term other assets) in restricted cash. This restricted cash represents collateral relating to certain letters of credit,
guarantees, performance bonds and deposits and net cash proceeds from asset sales as defined in the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes. In June 2004, we received approximately $11 million from a sale of the marketable security, which is included
in restricted cash as a component of other assets as at June 30, 2004. On July 16, 2004, we received notification from STT Hungary Liquid Management Limited Liability Company (STT Hungary), a subsidiary of ST Telemedia that the
restriction on the use of the proceeds from the sale of the marketable security had been removed.

##### Table of Contents

We expect that our available liquidity will continue to decline substantially during the second half of
2004 due to operating cash flow requirements and estimated payments of $56 million for deferred reorganization costs and $15 million for the final fees and expenses of retained professionals under the bankruptcy proceedings. As of the date of the
filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, $41 million of this $71 million has been paid.



On May 18, 2004, we reached agreement with a subsidiary of ST Telemedia to provide us with up to $100 million in financing under the Bridge Loan Facility. The Bridge Loan Facility was entered into by our primary
operating company subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Limited (GCUK), and STT Communications Ltd. (STTC), a subsidiary of ST Telemedia. STTC subsequently assigned its rights and
obligations under the Bridge Loan Facility to STT Crossing Ltd., another subsidiary of ST Telemedia (STT Crossing). The Bridge Loan Facility matures on December 31, 2004, and initially bore interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR
plus 9.9%. Every 90 days after the May 18, 2004 closing, the spread over LIBOR increases by 0.5%. In addition, we are required to pay a fee of 1.0% per annum on any undrawn portion of the Bridge Loan Facility. Under this facility, we borrowed $40
million on June 1, 2004, an additional $40 million on August 2, 2004, and a final $20 million on October 1, 2004.



The Bridge Loan Facility permits us to upstream the loan proceeds and use them for the general corporate purposes of the entire Global Crossing group. The
loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of GCUK and a pledge of the capital stock of GCUK. In addition, the Bridge Loan Facility is guaranteed by Global Crossing Limited and each subsidiary that receives an economic benefit
from the loan proceeds. Except in the case of Global Crossing Limited, these guarantees are limited to the funds received by each guaranteeing subsidiary.



In general, the covenants and events of default for the Bridge Loan Facility are customary for a senior secured credit facility. These provisions include
limitations on the ability of GCUK and its subsidiaries to (1) incur indebtedness or liens, (2) pay dividends or make other payments to equity holders, (3) make investments or enter into sale and leaseback transactions or (4) sell assets or enter
into consolidation or merger transactions. The Bridge Loan Facility also (a) contains cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of GCUKs repayment obligations in the event that Global Crossing Limited or any one or more
of our subsidiaries were to default on any capital lease obligation or other debt obligation totaling more than $2.5 million; and (b) prohibits us from making any cash payment of bonuses during the remainder of 2004, with certain limited exceptions,
unless approved by a majority of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Global Crossing Limited. An event of default under the Bridge Loan Facility would, following certain notices, trigger a cross-default under the Senior Secured
Notes and an event of default under the Senior Secured Notes would, following certain notices, trigger a cross-default under the Bridge Loan Facility.



STT Crossing has the right to transfer the Bridge Loan Facility to a bank without our consent. The terms of the Bridge Loan Facility require it to be
repaid from the proceeds of any debt or capital markets transaction of GCUK. In addition, STT Crossing has the right to exchange a principal amount of the loan balance under the Bridge Loan Facility for an equivalent principal amount of debt
securities issued in any such debt offering by GCUK.



As of the
date of the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we expect the Company will need to obtain up to $40 million in additional financing to fund our anticipated liquidity requirements through the end of 2004. We will also need to refinance the
Bridge Loan Facility at its maturity on December 31, 2004. Moreover, based on our current projections, we will need to raise substantial additional financing to meet our anticipated liquidity needs beyond 2004. If we are unable to raise substantial
financing or improve our operating results to achieve positive operating cash flows in the future, we will be unable to meet our anticipated liquidity requirements. We can provide no assurances in this regard.



The Company is currently seeking to arrange financing to provide it with the
additional liquidity needed through the end of 2004 and beyond and to refinance the Bridge Loan Facility. Such financing may include a secured debt financing by GCUK and a working capital facility secured by certain accounts receivable. The



55



---

##### Table of Contents

indenture for the Senior Secured Notes currently permits the Company to incur the following (subject to the terms of the restructuring agreement described
below): (i) up to $150 million in additional debt under one or more working capital facilities, (ii) up to $50 million in purchase money debt or capital lease obligations, (iii) up to $10 million in debt for general corporate purposes and (iv)
additional subordinated debt if the Company satisfies the leverage ratio specified in the indenture, although the Company does not expect to satisfy such ratio for the foreseeable future.



STT Crossing has provided a commitment, subject to certain conditions, documentation and completion of any necessary
collateral filings, to increase the availability under the Bridge Loan Facility by $25 million, to $125 million. This additional $25 million is intended to be advanced in early November to meet the Companys anticipated liquidity needs through
November by which time the Company believes that the secured debt financing by GCUK can be completed with currently anticipated proceeds of $300 million or more. This financing, together with a working capital facility, are intended to meet the
Companys long-term funding requirements. If the GCUK debt financing is not completed in November 2004, the Company would require additional funding from ST Telemedia as discussed below. The Company can provide no assurance that the GCUK
secured debt financing will be completed.



In order to permit
any secured debt financing by GCUK and any working capital facility to proceed, the Company has entered into a restructuring agreement with STTC, STT Crossing and STT Hungary. The restructuring agreement contemplates that the following would occur
simultaneously with the closing of a secured debt financing by GCUK: (1) the security interests securing the Senior Secured Notes and the Bridge Loan Facility would be released; (2) $50 million (plus any amount borrowed under the additional $25
million Bridge Loan Facility commitment) of the Senior Secured Notes would be repaid; and (3) the Bridge Loan Facility and the remaining Senior Secured Notes would be refinanced by $250 million principal amount of 4.7% payable-in-kind secured debt
instruments that would be mandatorily convertible into common equity of GCL after four years, or converted earlier at ST Crossings and STT Hungarys option, into approximately 16.2 million shares of common stock of the Company (assuming
conversion after four years), subject to certain adjustments. The new secured debt instruments would be secured in a manner substantially similar to the Senior Secured Notes, except that they would not have liens on assets of GCUK. The restructuring
agreement contains general descriptions of these transactions and is subject to completion of definitive documentation satisfactory to the parties and a number of other material conditions described therein. The Company can provide no assurance that
the restructuring contemplated in the restructuring agreement will be completed.



If the Company cannot arrange additional financing by the end of November 2004, ST Telemedia has also indicated to Grant Thornton its non-binding intention, based on the Companys operating plan and commitment to
adhere to that plan, to provide up to $155 million of financial support to the Company (which support may come, in part, in the form of a restructuring or refinancing of the Bridge Loan Facility, including by way of providing the additional $25
million commitment) to be used as additional working capital to fund the needs of the Companys business as required through the first quarter 2005, on such terms and conditions as the Company and ST Telemedia may agree. While ST Telemedia has
indicated its intention to provide this financial support to the Company if necessary and management expects that ST Telemedia would make such financial support available, neither ST Telemedia nor any of its affiliates has any contractual obligation
to provide financial support to the Company, and the Company can provide no assurance that ST Telemedia would provide any such financial support.



As a holding company, all of our revenues are generated by our subsidiaries and substantially all of our assets are owned by our subsidiaries. As a
result, we are dependent upon dividends and inter-company transfer of funds from our subsidiaries to meet our debt service and other payment obligations. Our subsidiaries are incorporated and are operating in various jurisdictions throughout the
world. A number of our subsidiaries have cash on hand that exceeds their immediate requirements but that cannot be distributed or loaned to us or our other subsidiaries to fund our or their operations due to contractual restrictions or legal
constraints related to the

solvency of such entities. These restrictions could cause us or certain other subsidiaries to become and remain illiquid while other subsidiaries have
sufficient liquidity to meet their liquidity needs.



On
February 27, 2004, we retained Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as our financial advisor to assist in exploring strategic alternatives regarding Global Marine, including the potential sale of that business. On August 3, 2004, New GCLs Board of
Directors approved a plan to divest Global Marine and on August 13, 2004, we consummated a series of agreements with Bridgehouse for the sale of Global Marine and the transfer of our forty-nine percent shareholding in S.B. Submarine Systems Company
Ltd., a joint venture primarily engaged in the subsea cable installation and maintenance business in China, to Global Marine for consideration up to $15 million, subject to certain conditions as defined in the agreements. As a result of these
transactions, Bridgehouse has assumed all of Global Marines capital and operating lease commitments and the Company is no longer subject to cross-defaults that could have been triggered under the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes and the
Bridge Loan Facility as a result of the pending defaults by Global Marine under such lease commitments.



Under the indenture for the New Senior Secured Notes, in the event of a sale of Global Marine, any net proceeds received by us, after settlement of
liabilities and deal costs, were required to be used to repay the Senior Secured Notes. However, we received a waiver of this requirement from STT Hungary. During 2004, we received certain waivers from STT Hungary of the restrictions in the
indenture for the Senior Secured Notes that would otherwise have limited our ability to transfer funds from GCUK to other subsidiaries. We also received certain waivers from STT Hungary of the potential default under the Senior Secured Notes (and
under the Bridge Loan Facility through the operation of cross-default provisions) that otherwise would have arisen as a result of our failure to provide STT Hungary with quarterly financial information in respect of the first and second quarters of
2004 by the dates required under the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes.

Our working capital
decreased $249 million to a negative working capital of $397 million at June 30, 2004 compared to a negative working capital of $148 million at December 31, 2003. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to (i) over $100 million of operating
cash flow losses, (ii) reclassification of approximately $25 million of long term capital lease obligations to current as a result of Global Marines default of certain covenants, (iii) approximately $53 million of cash paid for capital
expenditures and (iv) the payment of approximately $58 million of deferred reorganization liabilities during the six month period.



Cash Flow Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2004



Cash and cash equivalents decreased $151 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $139 million from $290 million at
December 31, 2003. Our unrestricted cash decreased as a result of continued operating cash flow losses, capital expenditures, payments made related to deferred reorganization costs, restructuring costs, and final fees and expenses paid to
professionals retained in the bankruptcy proceedings. The decrease in cash is partially offset by the collection of receipts related to prepaid service/IRU agreements, miscellaneous receipts from VAT refunds, interest on deposits, proceeds from the
sale of our equity interest in two holding companies and marketable securities, property tax rebates and other receipts and financing received under the Bridge Loan Facility.



During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we collected approximately $1.390 billion of cash receipts from sales of
services. We also collected approximately $39 million under prepaid service/IRU agreements, of which $38 million related to a prepaid service/IRU from one customer, which represented the final installment due under a settlement agreement entered
into during 2003. Operating expense disbursements, including $20 million related to retention plan payments, were approximately $1.535 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2004.

##### Table of Contents

Cash paid for capital expenditures and the repayment of capital lease obligations were approximately $53 million and $8 million, respectively. Payments
related to deferred reorganization costs, restructuring costs and fees for professionals retained in the bankruptcy proceedings were approximately $84 million. Miscellaneous receipts collected in the six months ended 2004 were approximately $77
million which included approximately $26 million related to VAT and directors and officers insurance policy refunds, $20 million related to property tax rebates, $12 million related to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, $4 million
related to proceeds from the sale of our equity interests in holding companies and other miscellaneous receipts. We received $40 million in financing under the Bridge Loan Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2004.



As previously discussed herein, we anticipate we will need to obtain up to
$140 million in additional financing to fund operations through January 1, 2005 and refinance the Bridge Loan Facility at its maturity on December 31, 2004.



Cash Flows from Operating Activities



Cash flows used by operations increased $33 million for the six months ended 2004 as compared with the same period in 2003. The increase in cash used by
operations is primarily as a result of greater operating losses incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the same period in 2003. The increase in operating losses is predominantly as a result of decreases in revenue from
pricing pressures, customer attrition, tightening of our pricing and payment terms for lower margin products and decreases in installation and maintenance services. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in lower reorganization payments as
a result of our emergence from bankruptcy protection on the Effective Date. Reorganization payments, including deferred reorganization costs, decreased $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $58 million as compared with $75 million in
the first quarter of 2003. The decrease in reorganization related payments is due to a decrease in professional fees, retention and restructuring payments partially offset by payments related to deferred reorganization costs payable after the
Effective Date to certain access providers and other claimants. The decrease in cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to an increase in access vendor payments in 2004. Changes in operating assets and
liabilities are subject to significant variability from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of operating cash receipts and payments.



A further direct cash flow analysis of the six months ended June 30, 2004 working capital performance reveals total consolidated cash collections during
the six months ended June 30, 2004 were approximately $1.390 billion, including approximately $1.322 billion from the telecommunications services segment and $68 million from the installation and maintenance segment. The telecommunications services
segment receipts just mentioned do not include approximately $39 million under prepaid service/IRU agreements, of which $38 million related to a prepaid service/IRU from one customer, which represented the final installment due under a settlement
agreement entered into during 2003.



Cash disbursements on a
consolidated basis during the six months ended June 30, 2004 were approximately $1.535 billion, including approximately $1.444 billion for the telecommunications services segment and $91 million for the installation and maintenance segment. Cash
disbursements for cost of access were approximately $947 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Other operating cash disbursements for the telecommunications services segment (including cost of sales, real estate, payroll, third party
maintenance, general and administrative costs and the final retention plan payment related to 2003) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were approximately $497 million. Operating cash disbursements for the installation and maintenance services
segment include cost of sales (vessel related costs), payroll and other general and administrative expenses.



Cash Flows from Investing Activities



Capital expenditures declined $30 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the same period of 2003. Capital expenditures were
greater in the first six months of 2003 primarily as a result of payments made by our foreign subsidiaries who were not protected from local vendors under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, for capital projects completed prior to the
bankruptcy filing in January 2002. In addition, GCUK paid approximately $15 million in capital expenditures in the first six months of 2003 on two projects that did not occur in the first quarter of 2004. Capital expenditures during the six months
ended June 30, 2004 primarily related to network and information technology expenditures.

The network expenditures primarily consist of capital spending to meet our anticipated network needs to acquire and/or expand existing customer service
requirements. These expenditures include significant amounts to convert several of our points of presences from time division multiplexing technology to voice over internet protocol technology. The information technology expenditures consist of
development projects to enhance and automate our sales order to cash process as well as improve and expand our suite of internet protocol products being offered and refresh our personal computer and server inventory. Proceeds from asset
sales increased primarily as a result of a sale of a marketable security for approximately $11 million. The funds received from this investment sale are restricted under the indenture for the New Senior Secured Notes at June 30, 2004. On July 16,
2004, we received notification from ST Telemedia that the restriction on the use of the proceeds from the sale of the marketable security has been removed. The change in restricted funds during the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes the $11
million of marketable security proceeds reduced by approximately a $1 million release of restricted cash used for security deposits. The proceeds from asset sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 relate to sales of marketable securities and
vessels in the installation and maintenance segment as Global Marine continued to reduce its cost structure. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 we received $4 million in proceeds related to the sale of our equity interest in two dormant
holding companies.



Cash Flows from Financing
Activities



Cash flows from financing activities for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased $44 million compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003 primarily as a result of the receipt of $40 million of short-term debt borrowings under the Bridge Loan Facility. The remaining activity is
related to the repayment of capital lease obligations. The majority of the capital lease payments relate to GCUKs network and Global Marines fleet of vessels.



Contractual Cash Commitments



During the six months ended June 30, 2004 we entered into the following significant purchase commitments: (i) an agreement with one of our access
providers to purchase at least $5 million of services in 2004 and a total of $70 million over the next five years; (ii) an agreement with a network equipment vendor to purchase approximately $5 million of equipment to support our managed services
product in 2004 and a total of approximately $41 million over the next five years; and (iii) two agreements with our maintenance service providers to purchase approximately $6 million of services in 2004 and a total of approximately $65 million over
the next five years.



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 and in numerous industries, our revenue in our carrier sales channel is generated from services to other carriers in the telecommunications industry.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, our revenues from the carrier sales channel represented approximately 57% and 58%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.



Off-balance sheet arrangements



There have been no material changes in our off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



Refer to the Companys December 31, 2003 annual report on Form 10-K/A 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



In March 2004, Grant Thornton completed an audit of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and for the year then ended for inclusion in our original annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 26, 2004 (the
Original 10-K Filing). In connection with such audit, Grant Thornton identified to our Audit Committee and management certain internal control deficiencies, including in the following areas: segregation of duties within a certain
subsidiary; information systems logical access; documentation for information technology policies, procedures and standards; development of a comprehensive enterprise-wide business continuity and disaster recovery plan; dependence of a certain
subsidiary on an outdated financial application; and customer contract files management. Grant Thornton advised the Audit Committee that they considered these internal control deficiencies in the aggregate to constitute material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting. Grant Thornton further advised the Audit Committee that these internal control deficiencies did not affect Grant Thorntons unqualified report on our consolidated financial statements as of December
31, 2003 and for the year then ended included in the Original 10-K Filing.



Prior to the Original 10-K Filing on March 26, 2004, management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. In connection with such evaluation, management considered the above internal control issues identified by Grant Thornton. While agreeing that the issues identified by Grant
Thornton were deficiencies, management and the Audit Committee did not regard those issues, either individually or in the aggregate, as constituting a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The position of management and
the Audit Committee was based on their judgment that compensating controls in operation mitigated the possibility that the matters identified by Grant Thornton would adversely affect disclosure controls and procedures or that such matters were
inconsequential. Based upon managements evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded at that time that disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of meeting their
objectives and were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2003.



To address the matters identified by Grant Thornton, we:



| |  | implemented a number of additional controls at the relevant subsidiary to reduce the risk from segregation of duties issues, including the separation of cash allocation and bank
reconciliation activities from activities such as mail opening, check recording and check deposits;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | consolidated all security functions under a central organization that reports directly to the Companys chief information officer and has responsibility for security
architecture and operations, audit and compliance, and physical security;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | took additional measures to strengthen and standardize controls over access to sensitive systems and applications, including implementing new security tools and procedures;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | made substantial progress towards the implementation of a comprehensive enterprise-wide business continuity and disaster recovery plan, including updating the Companys
business continuity handbook and developing a business continuity template to ensure plans contain complete and accurate information;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | implemented a web-based centralized customer contract database;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | developed and, in September 2004, tested, a contingency plan using backup hardware and periodic software and data backups to ensure the continuity of the relevant subsidiarys
outdated financial application until it can be replaced in 2005; and
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | developed comprehensive documentation for information technology policies, procedures and standards and implemented these across the global information technology organization.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We believe that the above measures remediated the matters identified by Grant Thornton.



Subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-K Filing, in the course of
preparing our financial statements for the first quarter of 2004 in early April 2004, management became concerned about the adequacy of our accrued cost of access liabilities. Cost of access includes usage-based charges paid to other carriers to
originate and terminate switched voice traffic and leased line charges for dedicated facilities. Management presented its concerns to the Audit Committee and, at the direction of the Audit Committee, continued its internal review of our accrued cost
of access liabilities and cost of access expenses and the related internal control environment. On April 27, 2004, we announced managements preliminary assessment of the underaccrual of the cost of access liabilities at year-end 2003 and that
we expected to restate previously reported financial statements. We also stated that our previously reported financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 should be disregarded pending the outcome of our review of our cost of
access liabilities. On April 29, 2004, we announced that Grant Thornton had notified us that its audit reports dated March 8, 2004, December 23, 2003 and September 10, 2003 covering calendar years 2001, 2002 and 2003 could no longer be relied upon.



On May 3, 2004, we announced that the Audit Committee had
retained Deloitte & Touche to conduct an independent investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the understatement of the cost of access liabilities and expenses and the causes that may have given rise thereto, including, if
relevant, associated internal control issues and issues of management integrity. Deloitte & Touches investigation included reading more than 90,000 e-mails and numerous other documents and interviewing 26 employees. On June 21, 2004, we
announced that Deloitte & Touche had completed its investigation and that the investigative procedures it performed did not reveal any management integrity issues related to the cost of access liabilities and expenses, or any knowledge by
management of an understatement of our accrued cost of access liabilities related to the year-end 2003 financial statements until after the date of the Original 10-K Filing. Based upon the investigative procedures it performed, Deloitte & Touche
observed that the Company had in place detailed processes and procedures for its cost of access accounting, but that control issues existed with respect to the Companys cost of access accounting in North America. The processes and procedures
relating to cost of access accounting are described in Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Critical Accounting Policies  Cost of Access Accruals.



In addition to Deloitte & Touches investigation, the Company
conducted a review to determine the principal contributing factors that caused the underestimate of cost of access expenses that is the subject of the restatement covered by our 2003 annual report on Form 10-K/A. The root causes identified included
inaccuracies in third party, industry standard rating databases used to estimate the rates associated with minutes purchased by us from access vendors, the impact of changing traffic routing practices of emerging telecommunications industry
competitors on our cost estimation models, our increased reliance on CLECs to originate and terminate traffic, and disparities between the systems used by the Company and its third party service provider to manage fixed line costs.



Based on our own internal review and taking into account the results of
Deloitte & Touches investigation, we believe that the following control issues surrounding cost of access accounting in North America in the aggregate constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting: (1)
the failure to reconcile estimates of cost of access expenses to vendor invoiced amounts on an aggregate basis; (2) the lack of a clear understanding of cost of access-related processes and procedures and the lack of effective communications among
relevant personnel; (3) inadequate documentation of such processes and procedures; (4) an inappropriate focus of cost of access accounting on the balance sheet, with entries flowing through the income statement only indirectly; (5) inaccuracies in
the schedules used to help validate the adequacy of the monthly cost of access accrual; and (6) the lack of contemporaneous documentation to support decisions not to accrue for certain disputed amounts.



The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined material weakness
as a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a



62

##### Table of Contents

material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our conclusion that the above control issues
surrounding cost of access accounting in North America constituted a material weakness means that, absent remediation of these issues, there would exist a reasonable possibility of a material misstatement in the cost of access accounts in our
financial statements for future periods.



In connection with
the preparation of our 2003 annual report on Form 10-K/A, management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, reevaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Rule 13a-15
of the Exchange Act. As part of such reevaluation, management considered the cost of access internal control issues identified in Deloitte & Touches independent investigation and in managements own internal review. Based upon
managements reevaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2003.



Based in part on Deloitte & Touches observations, our board of
directors directed management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee, to continue implementation of appropriate interim and long-term remediation measures to ensure accurate reporting of financial information regarding cost of access. These
remediation measures include, among other things: (1) adding systems and procedures for reconciling vendor invoices to accruals for cost of access expenses; (2) conducting a required skill level analysis for cost of access-related functions and
supplementing resources accordingly; (3) developing comprehensive documentation of cost of access expense and accrual processes and procedures; (4) improving support tools for estimating and disputing cost of access expenses and training personnel
on the use of such tools and on cost of access processes; and (5) reorganizing the cost of access financial organization to improve oversight by appropriate accounting personnel.



Since the discovery in April 2004 of the underaccrual of the cost of access liabilities, the Company has implemented the
following remediation measures:



| |  | We have adopted a new estimate validation system and procedure to allow for a monthly rebuilding of the cost of access accrual on a 90 day lag basis using aggregate vendor invoices
and cash payments. This rebuilding of historical cost of access accruals, which allows us to true-up our cost of access estimate to aggregate cash payments made to access providers, has also allowed us to confirm that such accruals were
not materially understated for periods prior to January 1, 2003. We have also identified additional invoice information within the existing voucher system to improve the monthly cost of access close process, including the use of reports that provide
a history of the timing of the receipt/vouchering of invoices and their related service period.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We have identified the primary causes that resulted in miscalculations by our cost of access expense estimation systems and have initiated improvements to such estimation systems.
We have improved the quality of the databases that feed the estimation systems for voice minutes of use and reconciled disparities between the systems used by the Company and its third party service provider to manage fixed line costs.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We have completed workflow documentation for the historical cost of access expense and accrual processes.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We have made changes in lines of reporting and personnel responsibilities, including having all finance and accounting functions related to cost of access worldwide report to one
vice president who is a certified public accountant and who in turn reports directly to the chief financial officer.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company has validated that these new measures improve the accuracy of our estimates and that our actual cost of access expenses recorded are
reconciled to third party vendor amounts in the aggregate on a reasonably timely basis (approximately 90 days).



In addition, based on the Companys internal review and taking into account the results of Deloitte & Touches investigation, the Company
identified a number of actions, which while not necessary to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, would in the long-term enhance the systems, controls, oversight and efficiency of our cost of access
operations.

##### Table of Contents

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 of the Exchange Act. As part of such evaluation, management considered the
cost of access internal control issues identified in Deloitte & Touches independent investigation and in managements own internal review. Management also considered those remediation measures identified above that were implemented
prior to June 30, 2004, including the monthly rebuilding of the cost of access accrual on a 90 day lag basis using aggregate vendor invoices and cash payments. These changes in our internal control over financial reporting, which occurred during the
second quarter of 2004, have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon managements evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of meeting their objectives and were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2004.
