Explanatory Note



The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10K/A to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Global Crossing Limited for the year ended December 31, 2003
is to restate our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2003 and for the periods December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and related disclosures, including the related selected financial data. The
restatement arises from the understatement of our accrued cost of access liabilities due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. See Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of this annual report on Form 10-K/A
for a description of this material weakness and Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K/A for a detailed description of the
impacts of this restatement. The financial information and related disclosures included in this Form 10-K/A reflect, where appropriate, changes as a result of the restated financial statements.



This Form 10-K/A also includes the disclosure required by Part III of Form
10-K. Our original 2003 Form 10-K filing on March 26, 2004 (the Original Form 10-K Filing) incorporated such Part III disclosure by reference to our definitive proxy statement for our annual shareholders meeting then scheduled to be
held in June 2004. However, due to the delay in our shareholders meeting and proxy statement resulting from the need for the restatement referenced above, the Part III information is set forth in full in this Form 10-K/A.



No attempt has been made in this Amendment No. 1 to modify or update other
disclosures presented in the Original Form 10-K Filing except as described in the immediately preceding paragraphs and except for the updated liquidity disclosure included in Note 33, Subsequent Events, to the consolidated financial
statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K/A. This Form 10-K/A generally does not reflect events occurring after the Original Form 10-K Filing or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Rather, except as
described above, information is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the Original Form 10-K Filing on March 26, 2004. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K Filing and our
filings made subsequent thereto, including any amendments to those filings. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, reference is made to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30,
2004, which are being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on the date of the filing of this annual report on Form 10-K/A.



This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A consists of: a cover page; this Explanatory Note; Items 6, 7, 8, 9A and 10-14 inclusive; a signature page; and
exhibits, including the principal executive and principal financial officer certifications required to be filed as exhibits hereto. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the complete text
of Items 6, 7, 8, 9A and 10-14 is set forth herein, including those portions of such text that have not been amended from that set forth in the Original Form 10-K Filing.



In this annual report on Form 10-K/A, New GCL refers to Global Crossing Limited, a company formed under the laws
of Bermuda in 2003, and Old GCL refers to Global Crossing Ltd., our predecessor company which was formed under the laws of Bermuda in 1997 (Old GCL). Except as otherwise noted herein, references in this annual report on Form
10-K/A to Global Crossing, the Company, we, our and us in respect of time periods on or prior to December 9, 2003 mean Old GCL and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
Predecessor), while such references in respect of time periods after December 9, 2003 mean New GCL and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Successor).

PART II



ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA



The table below presents selected consolidated financial data of the Company as of and for the five years ended December 31, 2003. The historical
financial data as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, have been derived from the
historical consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K/A and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We previously restated our consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000. The data presented in the table below reflect those restatements, as well as the restatement of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and for the periods
January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003. For more information on the latter restatements, see Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, to the consolidated financial statements
included in this annual report on Form 10-K/A and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsRestatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements.



The consolidated financial statements of Predecessor for the period from
January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, reflect the results of the Company while it was still involved in chapter 11 proceedings and, accordingly, were prepared in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7,
Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, the selected historical financial data for such periods does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset
carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that would have resulted if Predecessor were deemed not to have been continuing as a going concern.



Upon emergence from bankruptcy on December 9, 2003 (the Effective Date), we adopted fresh start accounting and
reporting, which resulted in material adjustments to the historical carrying amounts of our assets and liabilities (see Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). As a result, the historical
financial data of Predecessor may not be entirely comparable to the historical financial data of Successor and may be of limited value in evaluating our financial and operating prospects in the future.

In reading the above selected historical
financial data, please note the following:



| |  | The Company implemented fresh start accounting 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 emergence from bankruptcy on December 9, 2003. Fresh start accounting required the Company to allocate the reorganization
value to its assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values. Adopting fresh start accounting has resulted in material adjustments to the historical carrying amount of the Companys assets and liabilities. 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. The determination of fair values of assets and liabilities is
subject to significant estimation and assumptions. Adopting fresh start accounting rules resulted in the Company recording a $23.934 billion gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and recapitalization as well as a $1.100 billion
gain relating to other fresh start adjustments. See Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a complete description of the fresh start accounting impacts on the Companys Effective Date balance sheet.

| |  | The Company identified certain accounting matters relating to its consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2000 that required restatement of previously reported
amounts. The restatements related to revenue recognition for certain concurrent transactions, the gain recognition on the sale of GlobalCenter Inc. (the Companys former web hosting subsidiary (GlobalCenter)), the recognition of
deferred taxes on the sale of GlobalCenter and the Companys former incumbent local exchange carrier business (the ILEC) and revenue recognition of Global Marine installation revenue. For further information on the impact of the
restatements to previously reported results, see Note 4, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2002 annual report on Form 10-K.

subsidiary engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, installing and servicing turret systems, which provide desktop access to time-sensitive voice communications and data for the financial services community (IPC)) and Asia
Global Crossing (including PCL and the Asian operations of IXnet) as discontinued operations. The ILEC business was sold on June 29, 2001 to Citizens Communications, Inc. for cash proceeds of $3.369 billion, resulting in an after-tax loss of
approximately $206 million; GlobalCenter was sold to Exodus Communications, Inc. for 108.15 million shares valued at $1.918 billion on January 11, 2001, resulting in a deferred gain of $126 million amortizable over the 10 year life of a network
services agreement between the Company and Exodus; IPC was sold to Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Inc. for cash proceeds of $300.5 million on December 20, 2001, representing a loss of $120 million; and Asia Global Crossing, a 58.9% owned

|ITEM 7. |  | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes
appearing in this annual report on Form 10-K/A.



Some of the
statements contained in the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations refer to future expectations and business strategies or include other forward-looking information. Those statements are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was derived from numerous
assumptions. See Item 1, BusinessCautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results, of the Original Form 10-K Filing for risk factors that should be considered when evaluating forward-looking information detailed below. These
factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.



Except as described in the Explanatory Note at the beginning of this annual report on Form 10-K/A, no attempt has been made in this Amendment No. 1 to
modify or update disclosures presented in the Original Form 10-K Filing. Thus, all forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K/A speak as of March 26, 2004, the date of the Original Form 10-K Filing, and have not been updated to reflect
subsequent events, except for forward-looking statements regarding cost of access charges and the effect of such charges on gross margins. This is the case even with respect to forward-looking statements that purport to indicate our
current or present expectations or forecasts; in such cases, the words current, present and similar expressions should be understood to relate back to our expectations as of March 26, 2004. However,
these forward-looking statements have been updated, where appropriate, in the Companys quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, which are being filed with the SEC on the same date as this
Form 10-K/A.



Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements



In the course of preparing the Companys financial
statements for the first quarter of 2004 in early April 2004 after the filing of the Companys 2003 annual report on Form 10-K, management became concerned about the adequacy of the Companys accrued cost of access liabilities. 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. The Company immediately undertook extensive procedures to
quantify and understand the reasons for the apparent accrual shortfall and promptly reported the situation to the Companys Audit Committee.



A preliminary assessment was provided to the Companys Audit Committee on April 26, 2004. The Audit Committee was informed that management believed
an increase to the cost of access accrual as at December 31, 2003 in the range of $50 million to $80 million would be needed. On April 27, 2004, the Company issued a press release disclosing the anticipated increase to the cost of access accrual and
that the Company expected to restate previously reported financial statements. The Company also stated that its previously reported financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 should be disregarded pending the outcome of the
Companys review of its cost of access liabilities.



On
April 29, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a Current Report on Form 8-K indicating that Grant Thornton LLP (Grant Thornton), the auditors of the Companys financial statements
for fiscal periods from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2003, had withdrawn its reports dated March 8, 2004, December 23, 2003 and September 10, 2003 on the Companys financial statements, and that its reports could no longer be relied
upon.



On May 3, 2004, the Company announced that the Audit
Committee had retained Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte & Touche) to conduct an independent investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the



5

##### Table of Contents

underestimate 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 engagement did not encompass an investigation of the size of or the appropriate accounting treatment for the cost of access adjustment. On May 3, 2004, the Company also
announced that the Audit Committee had retained Grant Thornton to (i) evaluate the Companys procedures with respect to determining the cost of access liabilities and expenses and the related internal control environment, and the independent
review thereof by Deloitte & Touche, (ii) perform procedures necessary to evaluate the Companys determination regarding the restatement of its financial statements, (iii) determine whether Grant Thornton could re-issue its previously
withdrawn audit reports or some other report, and (iv) issue the appropriate report(s) unless precluded from doing so by law, professional standards or similar circumstances.



On June 21, 2004, the Company announced that Deloitte & Touche had completed its investigation and that the
investigative procedures it performed, including reading more than 90,000 e-mails and numerous other documents and interviewing 26 employees, did not reveal any management integrity issues related to the cost of access liabilities and expenses, or
any management knowledge of an underestimate until after the filing of the December 31, 2003 financial statements in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K on March 26, 2004.



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 and that the issues surrounding the cost of access accounting in North America did not appear to exist in the Companys operations in the United Kingdom and Europe, where far fewer
invoices (particularly manual invoices) and less regulatory complexity allow for the expensing of invoices upon receipt and the simultaneous reversal of related estimates. However, in its report to the Audit Committee, Deloitte & Touche also
identified certain control issues in the processes, procedures and controls in North America related to the Companys cost of access accounting. These internal control issues included the failure to reconcile estimates of aggregate cost of
access expenses to aggregate vendor invoiced amounts.



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), the incompatibility of vendor billing information with our cost of
access estimation systems, and the high frequency of disputed charges. However, the remediation measures implemented in the second and third quarters of 2004 as a result of the cost of access review include a monthly rebuilding of the cost of access
accrual on a 90 day lag basis using aggregate vendor invoiced amounts and actual cash payment data in respect of the relevant time periods.



In July 2004, the Company concluded that the required cost of access adjustment aggregated $67 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition,
there is a separate adjustment for a $12 million balance sheet reclassification related to certain pre-petition settlements with access providers that were incorrectly applied to post-petition cost of access liability accounts and due to certain
cost of access liability amounts that were incorrectly eliminated in fresh start accounting.



On July 21, 2004, Grant Thornton expressed to the Audit Committee its preliminary view that the proper accounting for the cost of access adjustment is as a change in estimate under APBO No. 20 and not as the
correction of an error as the Company had previously disclosed. In that same meeting, Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y), the Companys current independent auditor, expressed its preliminary view that the appropriate accounting is as
the correction of an error. Shortly following this meeting, the Audit Committee engaged FTI Consulting Inc. (FTI), a professional consultant on accounting matters, to provide advice regarding the appropriate accounting treatment for the
cost of access adjustment. Upon completion of its review, FTI expressed to the Audit Committee that the appropriate method of accounting for the cost of access adjustment was as a change in estimate under APBO No 20.



As noted above, the Companys preliminary view had been that the
appropriate accounting was as the correction of an error requiring the restatement of previously reported financial statements. However, after



6

##### Table of Contents

extensive consideration of the pertinent facts and circumstances and consultations with Grant Thornton and FTI concerning the relevant accounting principles
and their application to the facts, the Company determined that the proper accounting treatment for the cost of access adjustment was as a change in estimate, to be accounted for in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. Before arriving at
this determination, the Company also considered the position of E&Y, which was of the view that the adjustment should be accounted for as the correction of an error requiring the restatement of previously reported financial statements. Upon
reaching its decision, the Company determined that a request to the Staff of the SEC concerning the appropriate accounting treatment for the adjustment should be made before it issued any financial statements reflecting a change in estimate (or any
other) conclusion or made any related filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Company has since consulted with the Staff of the SEC regarding the appropriate accounting treatment.



After careful analysis and deliberation, the Company has concluded that
treatment of this adjustment as the correction of an error under APBO No. 20 is the appropriate accounting treatment and, as such, the Company has restated its previously reported financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. Grant
Thornton, FTI, E&Y and the Audit Committee concur with this accounting treatment. The Company has confirmed, through a rebuilding of historical cost of access accruals using aggregate vendor invoiced amounts and actual cash payment data in
respect of the relevant time periods, that no adjustment in respect of such accruals is required for periods prior to January 1, 2003.



On September 15, 2004, Grant Thornton advised the Companys Audit Committee that it could no longer rely on representations made by a senior officer
in the Companys finance department and that it therefore required the performance of additional procedures and additional support for the representations to be given by management to Grant Thornton in connection with the issuance of Grant
Thorntons audit report. The officer has been reassigned to a position outside of the Companys financial reporting function. The Company engaged FTI to assist the Company in performing the additional procedures and providing additional
support for managements representations to Grant Thornton. The additional procedures and support focused on areas where the reassigned officer had previously played an important role in the process of drafting the financial statements.



In the course of its review, the Company examined the $67
million cost of access adjustment to the 2003 financial statements to determine the principal contributing factors that caused the Company to underestimate its cost of access expenses. 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 competitive local exchange carriers (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.
The Companys view is that the control issues surrounding cost of access accounting in North America specified in Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, including the failure to make use of available information to conduct an aggregate
true-up to actual cash payments made to access providers, in the aggregate constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting within the meaning of Auditing Standard No. 2 adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board. This material weakness resulted in an adjustment which constituted the correction of an error under APBO No. 20 requiring a restatement of 2003 financial statements.



The cost of access adjustments have no impact on cash balances for any
historical period. However, the Companys consolidated statements of cash flows have been restated to reflect the impact of the adjustments, which result in changes in individual components of cash used in operating activities. These individual
impacts offset each other such that there is no net change in cash used in operating activities.



The Company has restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and for the periods January 1, 2003 to December
9, 2003 and December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003. The restatement

results in (i) an increase in the cost of access liabilities of $79 million from $150 million to $229 million as of December 31, 2003; (ii) an increase in
cost of access expense of $2 million for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, resulting in an increase in the operating loss for this period from $8 million to $10 million and an increase in the loss applicable to common shareholders
from $9 million to $11 million for this period; and (iii) an increase in cost of access expense of $65 million for the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, resulting in an increase in the operating loss for this period from $133 million to
$198 million and an increase in the net loss excluding gains on emergence from bankruptcy from $230 million to $295 million. As indicated above, included in the $79 million adjustment to the cost of access liabilities at December 31, 2003 is a
separate adjustment for a $12 million balance sheet reclassification.



The Company has also restated its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003 and its previously issued December 9, 2003 balance sheet
within the footnotes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These restatements result in (i) increases in the cost of access liabilities of $35 million from $214 million to $249 million as of March 31, 2003, of $55 million from $195
million to $250 million as of June 30, 2003, of $68 million from $199 million to $267 million as of September 30, 2003 and of $77 million from $207 million to $284 million as of December 9, 2003; (ii) an increase in cost of access expense of $25
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, resulting in an increase in the operating loss for this period from $48 million to $73 million and an increase in the net loss from $72 million to $97 million for this period; (iii) an increase in cost
of access expense of $17 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, resulting in an increase in the operating loss for this period from $31 million to $48 million and an increase in the net loss from $10 million to $27 million for this period; and
(iv) an increase in cost of access expense of $13 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, resulting in an increase in the operating loss for this period from $28 million to $41 million and an increase in the net loss from $67 million to
$80 million for this period.



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. We also provide
installation and maintenance services for subsea telecommunications systems through our Global Marine subsidiary.



Industry and Economic Factors



The telecommunications industry remains highly competitive. Over the last two years many of our competitors have attempted to reorganize or have completed
reorganizations, which has resulted in competitors emerging from bankruptcy with significant improvements in their financial condition and competitiveness. The result to the industry has been significant price erosion for voice and data products and
services. We believe there will be significant continued pricing pressure in the future. Slow economic growth rates in most developed countries economies have hindered growth rates in demand for telecommunications products and services. We
believe that if the growth rate in these economies increases, demand for telecommunication services will improve, but not at a rate sufficient to eliminate the impacts of price erosion.



Strategy



We differentiate ourselves from our competition through our IP service platform and our extensive broadband network. The industry shift of business
applications to IP-based platforms favors our assets. We are

##### Table of Contents

striving to become the market leader in global data and IP services, building upon our extensive broadband network and technology advantages and the way we
bring these to our customers.



Since emergence from bankruptcy,
the Company has shifted its focus on customer acquisition rather than customer retention, which had been the focus during our bankruptcy proceedings. Specific target markets include regional and multi-national enterprises, federal government
agencies, international and domestic carriers, Internet service providers and wireless providers. Our distribution system has been realigned around these customers using both direct and indirect channels, including partnerships with system
integrators, to reach these targeted customers. We anticipate that this shift in our customer segmentation strategy and our ability to migrate our existing customers to advanced IP services will support a change in our revenue and product mix
towards higher margin services and customers. In addition, the shift in voice traffic from traditional TDM equipment to VoIP significantly reduces our capital cost per minute. Our ability to provide voice services over a network optimized for IP to
customers in both the carrier and commercial channels provides significant unit cost efficiencies for the Company which is expected to assist our penetration into the higher margin customers we target and improve our profitability.



Our carrier business is expected to remain a critical channel going forward
throughout the execution of the above change in customer segmentation. We are driving more of our carrier traffic towards targeted customers such as wireless providers and cable and Internet service providers as opposed to the current concentration
of CLECs and resellers within our carrier revenue mix. We anticipate that the carrier market will enhance our revenue and margin, as a result of increased network utilization that will lead to greater economies of scale. We will also continue to
pursue a number of key initiatives including strategic purchasing agreements with access providers (including shifting of providers where necessary) and network optimization.



Key Performance Indicators



We utilize a focused group of financial and non-financial key performance indicators, which are reviewed by senior management at least monthly. This
reporting facilitates timely and effective communication of results and key decisions, allowing our global business to react more quickly to changing requirements and shortfalls in our key performance indicators.



The Company and its senior management were required to focus on cash
performance during the bankruptcy proceedings in order to survive the reorganization process and this focus has continued post-emergence. We have daily reporting of our cash position and our performance against our expected cash flows is measured
and updated weekly. The expected impact on short-term and long-term cash performance is a critical topic in each significant business decision. Our most important cash related key performance indicator is cash margin. Cash margin is
determined by comparing the cash collections from recurring service contracts in our telecommunications services business to the cash disbursements processed to our access providers. As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources,
our cash margin approximated $775 million in 2003. Improvement in this metric in 2004 will not only reflect improvements in cash management, but it will serve as an early indicator that our margin initiatives are working and our payment terms with
vendors are becoming more favorable post-bankruptcy.



We have
implemented a very successful headcount management reporting process within the Company, based upon our globally structured organization. All employees have been categorized into, and are managed within, globally integrated functional groups such as
sales, customer service, network operations, information technology, finance, legal and human resources. Our headcount in the telecommunications services segment is approximately 4,000 as of March 1, 2004. This metric is tracked monthly via a
system-generated report from our human resources database maintained on our SAP software system. Actual records are tracked against budgeted headcount not only by the functions mentioned, but also by location and against expected payroll dollars.



As discussed above, there are several non-financial metrics
captured periodically, which measure our service capabilities (e.g., days required to provision a circuit between two of our points of presence), network

##### Table of Contents

performance (e.g., average availability), IP traffic growth (e.g., voice minutes carried over IP platform) and cost management (e.g., headcount). In order to
achieve our strategic objectives and the profitability needed to succeed as a business, the tracking and execution of these non-financial objectives is just as important as our cash performance metrics discussed above and the following financial key
performance indicators.



Financial key performance indicators
in our business are focused on margin improvement and on our cost structure, including our direct costs to sell, especially third party access costs. Our cost of access management team executes cost initiatives, which are tracked each month to
measure how the initiatives are impacting needed cost reductions to offset the declining pricing currently being experienced across all our product lines. The initiatives include facility network access optimization which includes extending the
access network closer to the customer as well as migrating lower speed circuits to higher speeds, switched network access optimization through direct end office trunking versus tandem switching termination, use of competitive access alternate
providers (evidenced by the signing of significant new access agreements by the Company over the last several months) and other traditional means such as revenue assurance (access charges to billing reconciliations) and dispute resolution.



Another key measure for our margin performance is average
revenue per minute (ARPM). ARPM inherently reflects the quality of the minutes sold and is a key indicator of whether our customer segment mix is shifting in line with our goals. This metric is closely tracked each week to assist the
Company in identifying targeted customers and product sets that are deteriorating in ARPM. It also serves to assist us in our volume and pricing statistics, which are closely monitored to track the performance of the sales organization throughout
the year.



2003 Highlights and 2004 Outlook



Our revenues for both the telecommunications services and installation
and maintenance segments continued to decline in 2003 as a result of continued pricing reductions for telecommunications services, lower demand for the installation and maintenance of subsea cables systems and customer concerns over our ability to
emerge from bankruptcy. While we were in bankruptcy our primary focus was to maintain our revenue base by focusing on customer retention, rather than growing through new customer acquisitions. During 2003 we increased our overall volumes of
telecommunications services sold but the average pricing decreases of approximately 10% for voice services and over 20% for data services resulted in a net decrease in our telecommunications segment revenues. In 2004, we will be focusing on
acquiring customers and growing our business with them. We will focus on key market segments including regional and multinational enterprises, wireless providers, federal government agencies and systems integrators. In 2004, on an actual results
basis, we expect to see a decrease in our telecommunications services segment revenues compared with 2003 due primarily to the elimination of certain low margin lines of business, continued price declines and the impact of fresh start accounting on
deferred revenue, which reduces the revenue recognized for IRUs sold in prior periods. Price declines are expected in 2004 at an average of over 15% for voice and data services in the carrier and the commercial sales channels, which the Company
anticipates to offset with its customer segmentation strategy, which will include migrating customers to advanced IP services resulting in a shift of the revenue mix towards higher margin services and customers. We anticipate a revenue reduction in
the range of $75 million to $125 million annually as a result of tightening our pricing and payment terms particularly within the international voice long distance reseller customer base. Management expects to improve cash flow through reviewing its
lines of business to specifically address volatile and low margin services. The anticipated revenue decreases are expected to be partially offset by anticipated volume increases in voice and data services. We also expect a slight increase in the
higher margin data services revenue as a percentage of total revenue in 2004 as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy and our bringing to market an advanced suite of IP and data products. Excluding the impacts of the reduction of amortization of
prior period IRU revenue ($78 million) and the impact of the international long distance initiative (up to $125 million), we expect our telecommunications services segment revenue to be flat to slightly higher in 2004.



We expect installation and maintenance segment revenue to decline in 2004 due
in large part to the expiration of a significant ($53 million in revenue in 2003) maintenance contract as of January 1, 2004. We



10



---

##### Table of Contents

expect to see some recovery in installation revenue in the second half of 2004 through increased activity in the Middle and Far East as well as demand for
regional networks. On February 27, 2004 we retained Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as our financial advisor to assist in exploring strategic alternatives regarding our Global Marine installation and maintenance services business, including the
potential sale of that business. Any strategic transaction involving Global Marine would require approval of New GCLs Board of Directors. In the event of a sale of Global Marine, any net proceeds received by us, after settlement of liabilities
and deal costs, would be required to be used to repay the New Senior Secured Notes.



Our cost of access expense represents the most significant portion of our consolidated operating expenses at 63% of the total in 2003. Although in 2003 our overall sales volumes 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 increased review of access charges, special promotions and disputes resolution. The result of the improvement in cost of access charges on the overall telecommunications segment, offset by significant pricing
declines for our telecommunications services offerings, was a decrease in telecommunications gross margin and a relatively stable telecommunications gross margin percentage. In 2004, we expect to see further declines in cost of access as a result of
additional access initiatives and a modest change in revenue mix towards higher margin data services, resulting in higher telecommunications gross margin and gross margin percentage. The Company is also pursuing significant strategic access
purchasing agreements, some of which have already been signed, that over time are expected to result in significantly lowering our access costs over the term of the agreements.



Telecommunications gross margin for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 is calculated as follows:

We experienced
negative cash flow from operations in 2003. At December 31, 2003, we had $290 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. We expect our available liquidity to decline in 2004 due to operating cash flow requirements and expect disbursements in
2004 of approximately $128 million for deferred reorganization costs, and $30 million for final fees and expenses of retained professionals in the bankruptcy proceedings. We anticipate the need to raise up to $100 million in financing to have
adequate financial resources through January 1, 2005. We are currently seeking to arrange a working capital facility or other financing to provide us this necessary liquidity. If we cannot raise this financing, ST Telemedia has indicated its
non-binding intention to provide us up to $100 million of financial support subject to certain restrictions. See Note 33, Subsequent Events, to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K/A for
updated disclosures regarding the state of our liquidity.



The
financial information presented in this report comprises the consolidated financial information of (i) Successor at December 31, 2003 and for the period from December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003; and (ii) Predecessor at and for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and for the year ended December 31, 2002. The consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003
reflect the results of the Predecessor while it was still engaged in chapter 11 proceedings and, accordingly, were prepared in accordance with SOP 90-7. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that would have resulted had Predecessor not been accounted for as a going concern.

##### Table of Contents

Successor emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on December 9, 2003. On the Effective Date, we
executed fresh start accounting in accordance with SOP 90-7. Unlike the consolidated financial statements for Predecessor contained herein, the consolidated financial statements for Successor reflect reorganization adjustments for the discharge of
debt, the elimination of the Predecessors capital structure including all accumulated losses, and the adoption of fresh start reporting. This resulted in significant changes to the following balance sheet captions: cash and cash equivalents
(including restricted cash), other long-term assets, property and equipment, deferred revenue, deferred reorganization costs, liabilities subject to compromise, and stockholders equity (deficit).



Reorganization



As a result of the downturn in the telecommunications industry in 2001, increased competition, downward pricing trends,
customer demand falling short of expectations and the deterioration of our operating performance, on January 28, 2002, Old GCL and fifty-four of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions of relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code in the Bankruptcy Court. On the same date, Old GCL and certain Bermuda subsidiaries commenced insolvency proceedings in the Bermuda Court. Additional subsidiaries filed petitions in the Bankruptcy Court and commenced insolvency proceedings in
the Bermuda Court during 2002. In March 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved a bidding and auction process for the sale of our business, either in whole or in part. The eventual outcome of the auction process was an agreement for the sale of a 61.5%
equity interest in New GCL for $250 million to ST Telemedia. After receiving the necessary regulatory, Bankruptcy Court and Bermuda Court approvals, the Successor emerged from bankruptcy on December 9, 2003. See Our Chapter 11
Reorganization under Item 1 of the Original Form 10-K Filing for a more complete description of our reorganization.



The consummation of the Plan of Reorganization on December 9, 2003 resulted in the following:



| |  | Payment of $535 million in cash (including $7 million paid to the liquidating trust), the issuance of 38.5% of the equity in New GCL and transfer of the entire beneficial interest
in the liquidating trust to the GC Debtors pre-petition creditors;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Payment of $221 million in cash deferred beyond the Effective Date and payable under terms up to 24 months) to holders of secured and priority tax claims and to certain of our
pre-petition vendors in accordance with settlements approved by the Bankruptcy Court;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Payment of all administrative claims in the GC Debtors chapter 11 cases (certain payments of admin claims were deferred beyond the Effective Date), including payments to
retained professionals (including $54 million on the Effective Date), payment of $2 million on the Effective Date of indenture trustees fees and payment of $7 million in cash on the Effective Date to estate representatives to fund the
post-emergence administration expenses for winding up the bankruptcy estates of Old GCL and Old GCHL, resolving disputed claims, and pursuing causes of action against third parties;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Issuance of 18 million shares of New GCL Preferred Stock (convertible into 18 million shares of New GCL Common Stock) and 6.6 million shares of New GCL Common Stock to a subsidiary
of ST Telemedia in consideration for a cash equity investment of $250 million (the New GCL Preferred Stock and New Common Stock issued to ST Telemedia will represent a 61.5% equity ownership interest);
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Issuance of $200 million in aggregate principal amount of 11% New Senior Secured Notes to ST Telemedia for gross proceeds of $200 million, which gross proceeds were distributed to
our pre-petition and unsecured creditors (which amounts are included in the $535 million cash payment noted above); and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Discharge of all pre-petition claims against the GC Debtors and the cancellation of all pre-petition equity interests in Old GCL (whether in the form of preferred stock, common
stock, or options) and all pre-petition preferred equity interests in Old GCHL.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After giving effect to the Purchase Agreement, the board of directors of New GCL consists of ten members,
comprised of leaders with distinguished backgrounds in industry and government. Eight members of the board of directors have been designated by ST Telemedia, and two members of the board of directors have been designated by the former creditors of
Old GCL. The following individuals are now directors of New GCL: Edward C. Pete Aldridge Jr., Archie Clemins, Donald L. Cromer, Richard R. Erkeneff, Lee Theng Kiat, Charles Macaluso, Michael Rescoe, Robert J. Sachs, Peter Seah Lim Huat,
and Lodewijk Christiaan van Wachem.



Accounting Impact of Reorganization



As a result of our chapter 11 filing in the Bankruptcy
Court, the consolidated financial statements of Predecessor have been prepared in accordance with SOP 90-7. SOP 90-7 requires an entity to distinguish pre-petition liabilities as subject to compromise from post-petition liabilities on its
consolidated balance sheet. The liabilities subject to compromise reflect our estimate of the amount of pre-petition claims that were restructured in the GC Debtors chapter 11 cases. In addition, our consolidated statement of operations
reflects ongoing operations separately from any revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions resulting from the reorganization, otherwise known as reorganization items, except those required to be reported as discontinued operations
and extraordinary items in conformity with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 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 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.



On the Effective Date, we
implemented the fresh start accounting provisions of SOP 90-7 to the financial statements of Successor. Under fresh start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to our assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair
values. The reorganization value of $407 million was determined pursuant to our Plan of Reorganization and ST Telemedias $250 million equity investment for 61.5% ownership. The fair value of the assets and liabilities of Successor, on the
Effective Date, of approximately $2.3 billion comprised $200 million in New Senior Secured Notes, $407 million in New GCL common and preferred stock and additional paid in capital and approximately $1.7 billion of other liabilities, including
obligations under various capital leases, that were not eliminated or discharged under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization. As described in Item 1 of the Original Form 10-K Filing under Our Chapter 11 Reorganization, the Plan of
Reorganization resulted in the cancellation of all Old GCL outstanding common and preferred stock and additional paid in capital and all pre-petition indebtedness of the GC Debtors. See Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting, to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for a full description of the impact of fresh start accounting on Successors consolidated balance sheet on the Effective Date. As a result of these changes to the capital structure, Successors interest
expense and preferred dividend obligations will be significantly less than we incurred in periods prior to our bankruptcy filing.



Restructuring



We commenced a restructuring of our costs in August 2001. Since that time through December 31, 2003, 5,700 employees have been terminated and 257 sites
consisting of approximately 4.1 million square feet have been vacated as a result of our restructuring plans. These announced restructuring efforts initially centered around the realignment and integration of our then current regional organizational
structure into integrated global functions such as network operations, customer care, information systems, finance and sales and marketing functions.



From August 2001 through December 31, 2003, these efforts resulted in aggregate charges related to employee related costs of $135 million; costs related
to facility closures of $354 million; and $62 million of other charges. See Note 7, Restructuring Costs and Related Impairments, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information on our restructuring
activities.

Critical Accounting Policies



Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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.



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 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. 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. 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. The determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities was subject to significant estimation and assumption.



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 Bulleting 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 as at December 31, 2003 and as such, that is the period over which we amortize our installation revenue unless the contractual period exceeds two years. The
determination of the term of our average expected customer relationship is based on historical experience 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
billings 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
performed 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 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 through litigation 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 in
2003, which segment represented approximately 94% of consolidated revenue in 2003.



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 that is the subject of

this annual report on Form 10-K/A. A description of this weakness and the remediation measures that have been and are being undertaken by us is set forth in
Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of this annual report on Form 10-K/A.



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 annual report on Form
10-K/A 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 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 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 Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets



We assess the possible impairment of long-lived assets composed of property
and equipment, goodwill, other 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. Goodwill and other 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.



During the year ended
December 31, 2001, long-lived tangible and intangible asset impairments of $17.181 billion were recorded to continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Additional long-lived asset impairments of $2.399 billion
were recorded to discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2001. These impairment charges were recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 121. See Note 6, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K/A for a further description of these impairment charges.



As discussed in Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form
10-K/A, 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 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.

##### Table of Contents

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.



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 7, Restructuring Costs and Related Impairments, to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K/A, for information on restructuring activities for the period December 10 to December 31, 2003, the period January 1 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.



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 as at December 31, 2003 and, as such, this is the period over which we amortize our third party installation costs unless the
contractual period exceeds two years. The determination of the term of our expected customer relationship is based on historical experience 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), to stock option awards granted or modified commencing with the stock option award issued in connection with the emergence event on December 9, 2003. Once the fair value
of a stock option is calculated we estimate the number of options expected to actually vest (total options granted less options 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 option vesting term; provided that the amount amortized as of a given date may be no less than the portion of the options vested as of such date. We used the Black-Scholes option
pricing model to determine the fair value of a stock option awarded under SFAS No. 123. 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 as of December 31, 2003) 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 was 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. The impact on compensation expense recognized by Successor during the period December 10 to
December 31, 2003 relating to the December 9, 2003 stock option grant was an expense of approximately $1 million.

Comparison of Financial Results



In light of events and circumstances that occurred during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the results between periods are not necessarily comparable due to the following factors:



| |  | As a result of the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy on December 9, 2003, we discharged certain pre-petition liabilities subject to
compromise, restructured our equity and adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with SOP 90-7. This resulted in recording a gain on settlement of pre-petition liabilities and recapitalization of $23.934 billion and a gain of $1.100 billion
related to fresh start accounting adjustments, including the elimination of $1.405 billion in deferred revenue. This adjustment of deferred revenue will decrease revenue in 2004 in excess of $75 million compared to 2003.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We filed for bankruptcy protection on January 28, 2002, which had a profound effect on our results, including the cessation of interest accruing on all of our outstanding
indebtedness and dividends on outstanding preferred stock; significant reduction of operating expenses through lease and contract rejections resulting from the exercise of our rights under the Bankruptcy Code; improvements in working capital cash
flows due to the stay orders of the court applying to our pre-petition liabilities; and erosion of revenues in 2003 and 2002 from levels experienced in 2001 following the bankruptcy filing.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Material impairment charges to continuing operations aggregating approximately $17.181 billion during the year ended December 31, 2001 were recorded to long-lived assets which
substantially reduced depreciation and amortization expense in the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to prior periods.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We restructured our cost environment commencing August 2001, when we made our initial announcement of employee reductions, asset abandonments and real estate portfolio
rationalization. The cost restructuring and the January 2002 bankruptcy filing resulted in an overall reduction to cost levels in 2003 and 2002 versus the levels incurred in 2001 and 2000. We have recorded cumulative restructuring costs of $551
million from the commencement of the restructuring activities in August 2001 through December 31, 2003. As a result, other operating expenses were reduced from $2.080 billion in 2001 to $1.208 billion in 2002 to $908 million in 2003. Cash capital
expenditures were also significantly reduced from $2.643 billion in 2001 to $281 million in 2002 to $152 million in 2003.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We disposed of our web-hosting business, GlobalCenter, on January 10, 2001; our ILEC business on June 29, 2001; and the IPC trading systems business on December 20, 2001. These
asset sales had a significant impact on the tax provision and tax benefit reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. The decline in the value of the Exodus Communications, Inc. stock received in connection with the sale of GlobalCenter
also contributed significantly to the greater than $2 billion in realized losses recorded by us in 2001 in our investments portfolio. In addition, Asia Global Crossing was abandoned effective November 17, 2002, the date Asia Global Crossing filed
for bankruptcy protection. The ILEC business, GlobalCenter, IPC and Asia Global Crossing are all reflected in results from discontinued operations for all periods presented although the dates of disposal occurred at various points throughout the
period being discussed below.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The performance of the telecommunications industry declined as a whole. As a result of an excess of supply over demand, significant price deflation occurred throughout the period,
as discussed further below.

Inclusion of Results of
Operations of Successor and Predecessor during 2003



On the Effective Date, New GCL emerged with a new capital structure and with no retained earnings or accumulated losses. This resulted in a new reporting entity under a new basis of accounting, thereby resulting in

##### Table of Contents

a second accounting period in 2003 for the Company. Following the transaction closing late in the business day on December 9, 2003, Successor commenced
operations on December 10, 2003 and thus experienced a 22 day operating period in 2003. The results for the period January 1, 2003 through December 9, 2003 represent the Predecessors operations.



As required by Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K, the below discussion and
analysis of results covers all periods for which financial statements are presented, even when those periods relate to periods shorter than a full 12 month period. Such shortened periods are not directly comparable to full-year periods. Therefore,
in order to provide an informative comparison of results in this Item 7, we use pro forma information below for the entire 2003 fiscal year by combining the results of operations of Predecessor from January 1, 2003 through December 9, 2003 with the
results of operations of Successor from December 10, 2003 through December 31, 2003.



Pro Forma Combined Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2003 and Predecessor Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2002



The following discussion compares the restated results of operations of Successor and Predecessor on a combined basis for
the year ended December 31, 2003 with the historical results of operations of Predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2002. The discussion is provided for comparative purposes only, but the value of such a comparison may be limited. The pro
forma combined results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 combines the results of operations for Predecessor for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 with the results of operations for Successor for the period from
December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003. Such pro forma combined financial information does not reflect the results of operations that either Predecessor or Successor would have achieved for a full 12-month operating cycle in 2003. The pro forma
combined financial information for the year ended December 31, 2003 is merely additive and does not give pro forma effect to the Predecessors results as if the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and the related fresh start and other
adjustments had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. In addition, Successor has a significantly different capital structure than Predecessor as a result of the reorganization.



The tables and discussion below reflect the selected statement of operations
data for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 as a combination of the results of Predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and the results of Successor, for the
period from December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003.

In 2003 our commercial
revenues decreased as a result of pricing declines in both voice and data services and volume declines in the financial services sector customers resulting from customers continued uncertainty regarding our financial viability. The decline in
conferencing services was more severe as we were the primary providers of conferencing services to many customers including multinational corporations. We believe the prolonged bankruptcy period and related uncertainty directly contributed to this
attrition. Data revenue declined less than voice revenue despite significant pricing declines, reflecting the greater difficulty and cost required for customers to switch to alternative providers of data services than voice services in light of the
increased need for customer premises equipment in the provision of data versus voice services. Commercial data revenues held up well with our global managed service customers, particularly in the United Kingdom, although we experienced a significant
decrease in commercial data revenue in the financial services sector, where we have a substantial concentration of customers, which has been hit hard by the economic climate. In 2004, we expect commercial revenues to increase marginally as a result
of our emergence from bankruptcy and aggressive targeting of regional and multinational enterprises, federal government agencies and systems integrators. We expect to see continued pricing declines for both voice and data services products but
expect the overall increase in commercial volumes to exceed the pricing decline. We expect a slight change in overall sales mix towards the higher margin data services revenues as a percentage of total commercial revenues.



Consumer revenues.We continued to minimize investment in our
consumer business during 2003 as we had previously determined that this business was not core to our strategy and plans for the period. There are no plans to grow this business as the costs to maintain and acquire customers are expected to exceed
the benefits to our future profitability. In addition, price levels for consumer services continue to decline, as a result of new competitive entry and substantial increases in network capacity. In 2004, we expect to continue to see declines in our
consumer revenues.



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

While the total
carrier service revenue increased over prior years, we experienced a shift in our sales mix from the higher margin data services (13% of carrier service revenue in 2003 versus 16% in 2002) to lower margin voice services (87% of carrier service
revenue in 2003 versus 84% in 2002). The decrease in data services revenue was as a result of continued industry pricing declines and reductions in capacity maintenance revenues as a result of the termination of several significant IRU agreements
either through customer settlement agreements or through the bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that had purchased the capacity from us. Carrier voice services revenue increased as a result of aggressive marketing of voice services to
compensate for the reduction in data services revenue. The increase was a result of significant increases in volume offset by continued pricing declines. The prolonged period in bankruptcy had less of an impact on carrier voice services revenue as
carriers often used several voice services providers to meet their traffic demands, thereby reducing the

overall risk of relying on one carrier supplier for voice services. Further, because of short lead times to change voice services providers, there was less
risk of a disruption in service if a change in providers were to become necessary as compared with data services which required a much longer lead time to switch providers. In 2004, we expect to see total carrier service revenues decline marginally
as a result of our tightening the payment and pricing terms for certain international voice long distance reseller customers to improve the cash flow position for this line of business, which will reduce revenue in 2004 versus 2003 by approximately
$75-$125 million, and continued pricing declines for both data and voice services. The decrease will be partially offset by increases in volume. We expect the sales mix to change towards a higher percentage of data services revenues as a percentage
of total revenues.



The revenue recognized in 2003 relating to
the amortization of IRUs sold in prior periods increased as a result of new activations of capacity related to IRUs. Upon the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and adoption of fresh start accounting we eliminated $1.405 billion of deferred
revenue related to prepaid IRUs and other long term agreements to adjust the deferred revenue to its fair value (approximately a 90% reduction). As a result of the elimination of the deferred revenue, the revenue recognized related to the previously
signed IRUs will significantly decrease in 2004, resulting in at least a $75 million decrease in this revenue stream in 2004 versus 2003.

Maintenance revenue
decreased primarily due to the loss of maintenance contracts and a reduction 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 2003 that were in effect for all of 2002. In 2004, we
expect to see additional reductions in revenue due to the expiration of a significant maintenance contract as of January 1, 2004, which provided $53 million in revenues in 2003.

Cost of access
decreased as a result of cost of access initiatives (including, but not limited to: shifting suppliers, contract and tariff renegotiations to lower access rates, facility network access optimization including extending the access network closer to
the customer as well as migrating lower trunks speeds to higher speeds, switched network access optimization through direct end office trunking and increased review of access charges, special promotions and disputes resolution) to eliminate
non-revenue generating usage and negotiate lower cost of access unit prices. Usage based access charges increased $14 million, or 1%, to $1.339 billion in 2003 from $1.325 billion in 2002. The increase in usage based charges was a result of overall
unit volume increases and increases in our sales of certain voice products requiring higher levels of usage based access charges, partially offset by pricing reductions negotiated in unit costs, the use of lower-priced alternative access providers
and other actions to reduce access costs. As indicated above, the pricing levels for our voice revenues decreased 10% in 2003. However, we were able to execute similar access pricing rate decreases and thereby minimize margin erosion for usage based
services. Leased line based usage charges decreased $79 million, or 11%, to $643 million in 2003 from $722 million in 2002. Revenue related to the leased line usage charges decreased at a similar level in 2003. Our leased line revenues are related
to our higher margin data services and our cost of access initiatives were successful in maintaining an almost equal decrease in cost of access which helped to increase the overall margin percentage for the data services. In 2004, we expect to
continue our cost of access initiatives to reduce costs and improve utilization of our existing leased lines. In addition, with the expected slight decrease in revenues and minor increase in our sales mix to higher margin data services sales, we
expect a minor decrease in our cost of access but a slight increase in our telecommunications services segment gross margin and gross margin percentage. Using IP technology to terminate IP calls will also provide savings in the future, as will newly
executed commercial access agreements with such carriers as XO Communications, Allegiance and Covad.



Third party maintenance expenses decreased primarily as a result of our ability to eliminate certain terrestrial, cable station, and equipment maintenance
contracts, the transition of certain third party managed costs into employee managed maintenance at lower costs (which is included in other operating expenses below) and the re-negotiation of terms and conditions, including price
reductions, of existing contracts for maintenance during the bankruptcy. In 2004, we expect third party maintenance expenses to be similar to 2003 levels, as we do not anticipate significant elimination or amendments to our maintenance requirements.



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

Telecommunications Services Segment
Other Operating Expenses 



Cost of sales for managed
services and conferencing services were 1.6% of revenue in both 2003 and 2002. The vast majority of these expenses are governed by long term contracts or leases, which were reduced through negotiations in 2002 following our filing for bankruptcy.
These reductions were offset by higher costs resulting from increased managed services revenue in 2003 compared with 2002. The increases in revenue required us to lease additional equipment to connect our customers to our network to deliver our
managed services product.



Real estate and network operations
related expenses declined 25% as a result of (i) significant real estate restructuring activities initiated during the first and second quarters of 2002, for which there was a full year impact recognized in 2003 (as of December 31, 2003, 257 sites,
consisting of approximately 4.1 million square feet had been vacated), (ii) significant network operations employee termination restructuring activities initiated during the first and second quarters of 2002, for which there was a full year impact
recognized in 2003, (iii) additional minor real estate restructuring activities along with additional minor network operations employee termination restructuring activities in 2003, and (iv) lower real estate tax charges due primarily to a one-time
real estate tax rebate of $13 million for a property tax assessment in the United Kingdom. In addition, employee related costs in this category were lower in 2003 from 2002 levels as no annual bonus expenses were incurred during 2003.



Sales and marketing expenses decreased 21% as a result of (i) significant
sales and marketing employee termination restructuring activities initiated during the first and second quarters of 2002, for which there was a full year impact recognized in 2003 and (ii) reductions in sales commission payments resulting from not
only the employee termination activities described above, but also due to a revised sales compensation plan and a lower revenue base against which commissions were paid. In addition, employee related costs in this category were lower in 2003 from
2002 levels as no annual bonus expenses were incurred during 2003.



Bad debt expense decreased 37%, primarily due to (i) improvements in the aging of our account receivables, focused collection efforts, enhanced evaluations of customers creditworthiness and limits, and recovery of significantly aged
amounts through settlements and (ii) lower incidences of significant carrier customer bankruptcy actions in 2003 as compared with 2002 due to elimination of several less financially stable customers in the latter part of 2002.

##### Table of Contents

Non-income taxes increased $3 million, primarily resulting from property tax credits received during 2002
from certain jurisdictional taxing authorities on owned real estate and other assets, including equipment. Property tax credits received during 2002 were primarily attributable to local taxing authorities utilizing lower property values more in line
with fair values than in prior periods. This result was consistent with the impairment charges recorded by the Company in December 2001.



G & A costs decreased 25% as a result of (i) significant administrative employee termination restructuring activities initiated during the first and
second quarters of 2002, for which there was a full year impact recognized in 2003, (ii) additional minor administrative employee termination restructuring activities in 2003 and (iii) continued cost management of discretionary G&A spending,
including, but not limited to, travel and entertainment, advertising and consulting. In addition, employee related costs in this category were lower in 2003 from 2002 levels as no annual bonus expenses were incurred during 2003. G&A in 2003
includes $1 million in stock compensation expense relating to the December 9, 2003 Effective Date stock option grant.



Installation and Maintenance Segment Other Operating Expenses 



Cost of sales pertaining to our installation and maintenance segment decreased $51 million, primarily as a result of reduced installation projects and
maintenance contract requirements (resulting in lower third party project costs in 2003) and aggressive cost reduction efforts by the Company 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 the end of 2003, 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 40%. This was primarily
attributable to staff reductions in connection with Global Marines restructuring initiatives along with a reduction in bad debt expenses. In 2002, bad debt expense was significantly higher due to the impact of the bankruptcies in the
telecommunications industry.



In 2004, we expect cost of sales
levels relating to managed services to remain substantially the same percentage of revenue. We also expect real estate and network operations costs to remain consistent with 2003 levels, reflecting some required modest increases in spending to
maintain the network, offset by a slight increase in additional property tax rebates expected. While increases in selling and marketing expenses are expected to meet the revenue plan of the Company, G&A expenses are expected to remain constant.
We expect to see modest declines in bad debt expense as a result of continued focused collection efforts, although this is an area of significant judgment and is dependent upon the continued health of the customers in the carrier sales channel,
which is uncertain. We expect to see an overall decrease in employee related expenses in 2004 full year results reflecting the impact of the additional staff reduction executed in 2003. Offsetting these overall continued declines in other operating
expenses for the telecommunications services segment will be stock compensation expense of approximately $30 million. In addition, if certain objectives are achieved an annual bonus award will be recognized, which did not occur in 2003. For our
Global Marine business in 2004, we expect cost of sales to decrease as a result of reductions in the size of the vessel fleet and associated manning levels along with reduced sales activity. Actual results could differ significantly from these
expectations.



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 is directly attributable to the
impact of depreciating the first post-impairment period (2002) of capital purchases for a full year, along with the depreciation of capital purchases during 2003. In addition, the increase to the carrying value of property and equipment and goodwill
and intangibles created as a result of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date also increased depreciation and amortization levels during the intervening period (see Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting, to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements for further information on the impact to property and equipment and goodwill as a result of fresh start accounting). In 2004, we expect depreciation and amortization to increase as compared with 2003 as a result of

(i) additional capital purchases and (ii) the impact of including a full years depreciation and amortization of the revalued property and equipment and
intangibles resulting from the fresh start accounting impacts from the Effective Date.



Termination of ship charter. Global Marine was the lessor under a ship charter with an Asian cable-laying operator, which was terminated during 2003. Global Marine received a total of $20 million in cash
from the ship charter, a $10 million initial payment in the first quarter and $10 million at the time of formal termination in the third quarter. During the intervening period from the initial payment to the final termination payment, the initial
payment served as prepaid sub-charter rent. The unamortized balance of the initial $10 million payment not recognized as sub-charter installation revenue by the time of termination ($5 million), and the final termination payment of $10 million, were
recorded as a separate component of operating income in 2003.

NMnot meaningful



Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is directly
attributable to our bankruptcy filing on January 28, 2002. We ceased recording interest expense on our outstanding debt upon commencement of our bankruptcy proceedings in accordance with SOP 90-7. In January 2002 we recorded $43 million of interest
expense on existing indebtedness that was subsequently stayed as a result of the bankruptcy filing. The balance of the interest expense in 2002 relates to interest expense related to capital lease obligations. In 2003, the interest expense relates
to capital lease obligations, except for approximately $1 million related to interest expense on the New Senior Secured Notes issued on the Effective Date. In 2004, we expect our interest expense to be significantly higher than in 2003 due to a full
year recognition of interest expense on the New Senior Secured Notes which will be approximately $22 million. We expect interest on capital lease obligations to remain relatively consistent, as the interest component recognized on new capital leases
is not expected to be significant.



Other income,
net. The decrease in other income, net is primarily a result of changes in the amount of income recorded related to the extinguishment of our obligations under certain long-term and prepaid lease agreements for services on our network
through either customer settlement agreements or bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that had purchased the services from us, gains and losses on the sale of property and equipment, and changes in gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
impacts on transactions. In 2003 we recorded $32 million of other income related to the extinguishment of our liabilities to customers related to long-term and prepaid lease agreements as compared with $97 million in 2002. The decrease is a result
of the majority of settlement agreements with customers being signed within the first year of filing our petition for bankruptcy protection and the level of bankruptcies of our customers decreasing in 2003 as compared with 2002. In 2003 we recorded
a $2 million gain on the sale of property and equipment, net as compared with a gain of $57 million for 2002. Foreign currency transactions gains decreased in 2003 to $17 million compared to $26 million for 2002. In 2004, further material
extinguishments are not expected as a result of our significant reduction of deferred revenue of over $1.405 billion on the Effective Date.

Reorganization items, net.Reorganization items represent expenses and income that are
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 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) non-cash charges relating to the write-off of deferred financing fees, (iii) retained professional fee costs associated with the reorganization, (iv)
interest income attributable to increased GC Debtors cash balances as a result of the bankruptcy, (v) adjustments to liabilities subject to compromise to the settlement claim amounts allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, and (vi) costs incurred in
connection with our continued restructuring efforts (see Restructuring Charges above for further discussion). The reorganization items consisted of the following:

The gain from vendor
settlements decreased as the majority of negotiations to settle certain pre-petition liabilities with key network vendors were finalized in 2002. The decrease in deferred finance costs was a result of a complete write-off of them on January 28, 2002
due to the bankruptcy filing in accordance with SOP 90-7. The restructuring charges decreased as we initiated the majority of our restructuring activities in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, we entered into additional restructuring activities, with a smaller
impact than in 2002, to further reduce our operating expenses. Following another modest work force reduction in January 2004 and a lease termination near the end of the first quarter 2004, our restructuring efforts are expected to be completed.
Professional fees decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in fees in 2003 associated with investigations as compared with 2002 (see Item 3, Legal Proceedings, of the Original Form 10-K Filing). The number of retained professional
advisors serving the Company and the pre-petition creditors increased in 2003 over 2002 primarily due to the regulatory approval process. However, the monthly run rates of the retained professionals decreased during the second and third quarters of
2003 (the sixth and seventh quarters of the bankruptcy proceedings). Retention plan costs decreased as a result of a decrease in the number of retention plan programs and a lower number of employees being entitled to the retention plans due to
restructuring efforts.



In 2004, we do not intend to continue
to sponsor any retention compensation programs due to our emergence on December 9, 2003; however, any cash incentive compensation expense in connection with our annual bonus program, to the extent earned, will be included in other operating
expenses, and interest income will be included in interest income in our consolidated statement of operations. Restructuring costs, if incurred, will be a separate component of operating income in accordance with SFAS No. 146.



Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and
recapitalization.On the Effective Date we recognized a $23.934 billion gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and recapitalization as a result of transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization. This included
elimination of $16.068 billion of the Predecessor equity structure, settling $8.710 billion of liabilities subject to compromise for cash, restricted cash, and equity of New GCL on the Effective Date of approximately $535 million, including $7
million in cash paid to the liquidating trust, and deferred payment plans totaling $221 million.



Fresh start accounting adjustments.As a result of our adoption of fresh start accounting, upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization
on the Effective Date, we recorded certain adjustments to our assets and liabilities to reflect their fair values. The fresh start adjustments, which resulted in a gain of $1.100 billion,

consist of the elimination of $1.405 billion of deferred revenue, elimination of $45 million of other liabilities, establishment of $113 million of
intangible assets and a step-up in value of $128 million for property and equipment, net, offset by a write-down of $99 million of other assets and elimination of $415 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss. These amounts were all a result
of recording required adjustments to our asset, liability and other equity accounts in order to appropriately allocate our reorganization value and eliminate all accumulated losses of Predecessor in accordance with SOP 90-7.



Benefit (provision) for income taxes.The decrease in tax
benefit for income taxes was primarily attributable to recognizing United States income tax refunds during 2002 as a result of loss carrybacks from 2001 and 2002 to prior tax years. No loss carrybacks were available in 2003. The 2003 tax provision
is primarily related to minimum taxes in various foreign tax jurisdictions.



Income from discontinued operations. We had no discontinued operations during 2003. During 2002, certain subsidiaries were deemed abandoned due to our loss of control through our equity interest and lack
of continuing involvement. The results of such subsidiaries were therefore classified as discontinued operations under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
For further information on our discontinued operations see Note 8, Discontinued Operations and Disposition, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



Successor Results of Operations for the 22-day period from December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003



Revenue during the 22-day period was $178 million, including $164 million
for the telecommunications services segment and $14 million for the installation and maintenance segment. This level of activity was similar to the level of performance earlier in the fourth quarter. Operating expenses totaled $188 million,
including $182 million for the telecommunications services segment and $6 million for the installation and maintenance segment. The net loss for the period was $11 million. The results during this short 22-day period are not necessarily indicative
of the future performance of the Company over longer periods. No comparable period results for the Predecessor exist. As discussed elsewhere in this Item 7, the Company is continuing and will continue to experience losses subsequent to the
reorganization on December 9, 2003. See Cash Management Impacts and Working Capital within Liquidity and Capital Resources below for a discussion of the cash performance of the Successor during the 22 day period.

Predecessor Results of Operations for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the year ended
December 31, 2002



The following discussion provides a
comparison of the results of operations of Predecessor for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 to the year ended December 31, 2002 as required by Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K. This discussion and analysis of the results below
relates to Predecessor operations during bankruptcy and includes a comparison of two periods that are not equal in length and is therefore of limited use. The period from January 1 to December 9, 2003 has 22 days less activity (approximately 6% of
the calendar year) than the year ended December 31, 2002 and, therefore, contributes to the decrease or lower increase in categories period over period when compared with the pro forma combined analysis previously discussed herein. Further, these
periods are not directly comparable to the subsequent periods presented as a result of the impact of the Plan of Reorganization discussed above.

NMnot meaningful



Commercial revenues.In 2003 our commercial revenues decreased
as a result of pricing declines in both voice and data services and volume declines in the financial markets base of customers resulting from customers continued uncertainty regarding our financial viability. Data revenue declined less than
voice revenue despite

significant pricing declines, reflecting the greater difficulty and cost required for customers to switch to alternative providers of data services than
voice services in light of the increased need for customer premises equipment in the provision of data versus voice services. Commercial data revenues held up well with our global managed service customers, particularly in the United Kingdom,
although we experienced a significant decrease in commercial data revenue in the financial services sector, where we have a substantial concentration of customers, which has been hit hard by the economic climate.



Consumer revenues. Consumer revenues decreased as we continued
to minimize our investment in this business as we have determined it is not core to our strategy and plans for the future. There are no plans to grow this business as the costs to acquire and maintain customers are expected to exceed the benefits to
our future profitability. In addition, price levels for consumer services continue to decline, as a result of new competitive entry and substantial increases in network capacity.



Carrier revenues. While the total carrier service revenue increased over 2002, we experienced a shift in our
sales mix from the higher margin data services to lower margin voice services. The decrease in data services was as a result of continued industry pricing declines and reductions in capacity maintenance revenues as a result of the termination of
several significant IRU agreements either through customer settlement agreements or through the bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that had purchased the capacity from us. Carrier voice services revenue increased as a result of aggressive
marketing of voice services to compensate for the reduction in data services revenue. The increase was a result of significant increases in volume offset by continued pricing declines. The prolonged period in bankruptcy had less of an impact on
carrier voice services revenue as carriers often use several voice services providers to meet their traffic demands, thereby reducing the overall risk of relying on one carrier supplier for voice services. Further, because of short lead times to
change voice services providers there is less risk of a disruption in service if a change in providers were to become necessary as compared with data services which require a much longer lead time to switch providers.



The revenue recognized relating to the amortization of IRUs signed in prior
periods increased as a result of new activations of capacity related to IRUs.



Installation and maintenance revenues.Installation and maintenance revenues decreased primarily due to the loss of maintenance contracts and a reduction in spare part purchasing by customers for their
subsea systems due to tight system capital spending, 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 2003 that were in effect for all of 2002.



Cost of access and maintenance.Cost of access decreased as a result of cost of access initiatives (including, but not limited to: shifting suppliers, contract and tariff renegotiations to lower access rates, facility network
access optimization including extending the access network closer to the customer as well as migrating lower trunk speeds to higher speeds, switched network access optimization through direct end office trunking and increased review of access
charges, special promotions and disputes resolution) to eliminate non-revenue generating usage and negotiate lower cost of access unit prices.



Third party maintenance expenses decreased primarily as a result of our ability to eliminate certain terrestrial, cable station, and equipment maintenance
contracts, the transition of certain third party managed costs into employee managed maintenance at lower costs (which is included in other operating expenses below) and the renegotiation of terms and conditions including price
reductions, of existing contracts for maintenance during the bankruptcy.

Telecommunications
Services Segment Other Operating Expenses



Cost of sales
for managed services and conferencing services were 1.6% of revenue in both 2003 and 2002. The vast majority of these expenses are governed by long term contracts or leases, which were reduced through negotiations in 2002 following our filing for
bankruptcy. These reductions were offset by higher costs resulting from increased managed services revenue in 2003 compared with 2002. The increases in revenue required us to lease additional equipment to connect our customers to our network to
deliver our managed services product.



Real estate and network
operations related expenses declined as a result of (i) significant real estate restructuring activities initiated during the first and second quarters of 2002, for which there was a full year impact recognized in 2003, (ii) significant network
operations employee termination restructuring activities initiated during the first and second quarters of 2002, for which there was a full year impact recognized in 2003, (iii) additional minor real estate restructuring activities along with
additional minor network operations employee termination restructuring activities in 2003, and (iv) lower real estate tax charges due primarily to a one-time real estate tax rebate of $13 million for a property tax assessment in the United Kingdom.
In addition, employee related costs in this category were lower in 2003 from 2002 levels as no annual bonus expenses were incurred during 2003.



Sales and marketing expenses decreased 28% as a result of (i) significant sales and marketing employee termination restructuring activities initiated
during the first and second quarters of 2002, for which there was a full year impact recognized in 2003 and (ii) reductions in sales commission payments resulting from not only the employee termination activities described above, but also due to a
revised sales compensation plan and a lower revenue base against which commissions were paid. In addition, employee related costs in this category were lower in 2003 from 2002 levels as no annual bonus expenses were incurred during 2003.



Bad debt expense decreased 41% primarily due to (i) improvements in the
aging of our account receivables, focused collection efforts, enhanced evaluations of customers creditworthiness and limits, and recovery of

##### Table of Contents

significantly aged amounts through settlements and (ii) lower incidences of significant carrier customer bankruptcy actions in 2003 as compared with 2002 due
to elimination of several less financially stable customers in the latter part of 2002.



Non-income taxes increased $2 million, primarily resulting from property tax credits received during 2002 from certain jurisdictional taxing authorities on owned real estate and other assets, including equipment.
Property tax credits received during 2002 were primarily attributable to local taxing authorities utilizing lower property values more in line with fair values than in prior periods. This result was consistent with the impairment charges recorded by
the Company in December 2001.



G&A costs decreased 34% as a
result of (i) significant administrative employee termination restructuring activities initiated during the first and second quarters of 2002, for which there was a full year impact recognized in 2003, (ii) additional minor administrative employee
termination restructuring activities in 2003 and (iii) continued cost management of discretionary G&A spending, including, but not limited to, travel and entertainment, advertising and consulting. In addition, employee related costs in this
category were lower in 2003 from 2002 levels as no annual bonus expenses were incurred during 2003.



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 in 2003) and aggressive cost reduction efforts by the Company 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 the end of 2003, 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 primarily as a result of staff reductions in connection with Global Marines restructuring initiatives along with a reduction in bad debt expenses. In 2002, bad debt expense was significantly higher due to the
impact of the bankruptcies in the telecommunications industry.



Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization consists of depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of customer installation costs and amortization of other identifiable intangibles. The increase in
depreciation and amortization is attributable to the depreciation of Predecessor capital purchases during 2002 and 2003.



Termination of ship charter. Global Marine was the lessor under a ship charter with an Asian cable-laying operator, which was terminated
during 2003. Global Marine received a total of $20 million in cash from the ship charter, a $10 million initial payment in the first quarter and $10 million at the time of formal termination in the third quarter. During the intervening period from
the initial payment to the final termination payment, the initial payment served as prepaid sub-charter rent. The unamortized balance of the initial $10 million payment not recognized as ship sub-charter installation revenue by the time of
termination ($5 million), and the final termination payment of $10 million, were recorded as income in a separate component of operating expenses in 2003.



Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is directly attributable to our bankruptcy filing on January 28, 2002. We ceased
recording interest expense on our outstanding debt upon commencement of our bankruptcy proceedings in accordance with SOP 90-7. In January 2002 we recorded $43 million of interest expense on existing indebtedness that was subsequently stayed as a
result of the bankruptcy filing. The balance of the interest expense in 2002 and the amount in 2003 relates to interest expense related to capital lease obligations.



Other income, net. The decrease in other income, net is primarily a result of changes in the amount of income
recorded related to the extinguishment of our obligations under certain long-term and prepaid lease

agreements for services on our network through either customer settlement agreements or bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that had purchased the
services from us, gains and losses on the sale of property and equipment, and changes in gains or losses resulting from foreign currency impacts on transactions. In 2003 we recorded $32 million of other income related to the extinguishment of our
liabilities to customers related to long-term and prepaid lease agreements as compared with $97 million in 2002. The decrease is a result of the majority of settlement agreements with customers being signed within the first year of filing our
petition for bankruptcy protection and the level of bankruptcies of our customers decreasing in 2003 as compared with 2002. In 2003 we recorded a $2 million gain on the sale of property and equipment, net as compared with a gain of $57 million, net
for 2002. Foreign currency transactions gains decreased in 2003 to $15 million compared to $26 million for 2002.



Reorganization items, net.Reorganization items represent expenses and income that are 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 consolidated statements of operations in accordance with the provisions of SOP 90-7. The reorganization items consisted of the
following:

The gain from vendor
settlements decreased as the majority of negotiations to settle certain pre-petition liabilities with key network vendors were finalized in 2002. The decrease in deferred finance costs was a result of a complete write-off of them on January 28, 2002
as a result of the bankruptcy filing in accordance with SOP 90-7. The restructuring charges decreased as we initiated the majority of our restructuring activities in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, we entered into additional restructuring activities,
with a smaller impact than in 2002, to further reduce our operating expenses. Professional fees decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in fees in 2003 associated with investigations as compared with 2002 (see Item 3, Legal
Proceedings, of the Original Form 10-K Filing). The number of retained professional advisors serving the Company and pre-petition creditors increased in 2003 over 2002 primarily due to the regulatory approval process. However, the monthly fee
and expense run rates of the retained professionals decreased during the second and third quarters of 2003 (the sixth and seventh quarters of the bankruptcy proceedings). Retention plan costs decreased as a result of a decrease in the number of
retention plan programs and a lower number of employees being entitled to the retention plans due to restructuring efforts.



Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and equity restructuring.On the Effective Date we recognized a $23.934 billion gain
on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and recapitalization as a result of transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization. This included elimination of $16.068 billion of the Predecessor equity structure, settling $8.710 billion
of liabilities subject to compromise for cash, restricted cash and equity of New GCL on the Effective Date of approximately $535 million, including $7 million in cash paid to the liquidating trust and deferred payment plans totaling $221 million.



Fresh start accounting adjustments.As a result
of our adoption of fresh start accounting, upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization on the Effective Date, we recorded certain adjustments to our assets and liabilities to reflect their fair values. The fresh start adjustments, which resulted
in a gain of $1.100 billion,

consist of the elimination of $1.405 billion of deferred revenue, elimination of $45 million of other liabilities, establishment of $113 million of
intangible assets and a step-up in value of $128 million for property and equipment, net, offset by a write-down of $99 million of other assets and elimination of $415 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss. These amounts were all a result
of recording required adjustments to our asset, liability and other equity accounts in order to appropriately allocate our reorganization value and eliminate all accumulated losses of Predecessor in accordance with SOP 90-7.



Benefit (provision) for income taxes.The movement in the tax
benefit for income taxes was primarily attributable to recognizing United States income tax refunds during 2002 as a result of loss carry backs from 2001 and 2002 to prior tax years. No loss carrybacks were available in 2003. The 2003 tax provision
is primarily related to minimum taxes in various foreign tax jurisdictions.



Income from discontinued operations. We had no discontinued operations during 2003. During 2002, certain subsidiaries were deemed abandoned due to our loss of control through our equity interest and lack
of continuing involvement. The results of such subsidiaries were therefore classified as discontinued operations under Statement of Financial Accounting standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
For further information on our discontinued operations see Note 8, Discontinued Operations and Disposition, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001



Revenues.Our bankruptcy filing in January 2002, the continued
worsening of the macroeconomic environment throughout 2002, bankruptcy filings by several of our carrier customers, the overcapacity in the telecommunications sector, related price competition throughout the industry in both voice and data products
in the United States and Europe and the uncertainties about our ability to emerge from bankruptcy all contributed to declines in telecommunications services segment revenue levels year over year. In addition, in 2002 the installation and maintenance
segment was significantly impacted by the overbuild of subsea cable capacity in recent years, resulting in substantial declines in its installation and maintenance revenue.

Our bankruptcy filing
and pricing declines had an adverse effect on customer attrition in the commercial sales channel resulting in declines in commercial sales revenue. This was primarily due to a $192 million or 22% decrease, to $676 million revenue generated from
voice services in 2002 compared with $868 million in 2001. This included a $54 million, or 31%, decline in 2002 conferencing revenue from the prior period total of

$173 million. While a portion of this reduction was due to disconnects, or customers altogether moving off our network, the majority was due to
customers directing their traffic to other carriers for the sake of redundancy. In addition, some of the revenue reduction was a result of repricing existing customer contracts as they came up for renewal during our bankruptcy. While revenue levels
were declining, volume levels were declining to a lesser extent or increasing, depending on the product offering. The decline in the conferencing product offering was more severe as we were the primary provider of conferencing services to many
conferencing customers including several large multinational corporations. We believe these customers became hesitant to rely on us as a primary provider of this critical service to their businesses while there was uncertainty as a result of our
bankruptcy and strategy for emerging from bankruptcy. The declines in voice services were offset by increases of $50 million, or 10%, to $576 million in 2002 in the sale of data services. Our data services were not as severely impacted by our
bankruptcy due to the logistics of the relationship with the existing customers as we have deployed equipment at customers premises to provide Frame Relay, ATM, and Managed Services products. The attrition experienced in commercial voice
services was much greater as customers perceived that migrating this service to another provider would be less risky and that it would be less costly to switch to an alternative provider.



We did not invest in supporting our consumer business during 2002 as we determined that this business was not core to our
strategy and plans for the period. There are no plans to grow this business as the costs to maintain and acquire customers are expected to exceed the benefits to our future profitability. In addition, price levels for consumer services continue to
decline, as a result of new competitive entry and substantial increases in network capacity.



Our bankruptcy had a significant impact on the mix of carrier revenue in 2002 compared with 2001. Carriers often use several suppliers to meet their traffic demands and the risk of relying on one carrier supplier is
not as prevalent as in the case of commercial businesses previously discussed. The overall flatness in growth was a result of an increase in voice services of $178 million, or 16%, to $1.288 billion in 2002 from $1.110 billion in 2001, offset by a
decrease in data services of $164 million, or 40%, to $245 million in 2002 from $409 million in 2001. The 16% increase in revenue generated from voice services includes an increase in international voice services of $140 million, or 52%, to $408
million in 2002 from $268 million in 2001. The international voice market was highly competitive, experiencing a 20% annualized price decline in 2002 compared with 2001. Revenue from data services experienced even larger declines in pricing period
over period, including from contract repricing, and volume growth could not be attained by the carrier sales force to compensate for these declines. Additional data revenues were lost as several carrier customers filed for bankruptcy protection
resulting in the cancellation of longer term data contracts.



We had no sales of capacity under sales-type lease arrangements in 2002, compared with one contract for $18 million in 2001. The revenue recognized in 2002 relating to the amortization of IRUs signed in prior periods decreased as a result
of a few factors, including significantly fewer IRUs signed in 2002 than in 2001 and therefore very limited incremental amortization revenue. In addition, certain agreements for services were terminated either through customer settlements or through
bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that had purchased services from us. We recognized $97 million of the deferred revenue related to these obligations into other income, as a result of our no longer having an obligation to provide
services; however, the suspension of these agreements resulted in a reduced revenue stream.



Installation revenue decreased $296 million, or 81%, in 2002 to $68 million from $364 million in 2001. This was primarily due to the rapid decline in subsea installation projects as a result of the oversupply of
subsea capacity in the global telecommunications market. Maintenance revenue also decreased $28 million or 16% in 2002 to $145 million, from $173 million in 2001. This is primarily due to the loss of the North Sea cable maintenance contract and a
reduction in spare part purchasing by customers for their subsea systems due to tighter system capital spending.

Operating Expenses. Components of operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002
and 2001 were as follows:

Cost of access
and maintenance.Cost of access increased $86 million, or 4%, to $2.047 billion in 2002 from $1.961 billion in 2001, primarily due to increases in usage based voice charges of $187 million, or 17%, necessary to meet the increased level of
voice services revenue, which resulted in increased minute volumes with other carriers to originate and/or terminate traffic. This was offset by decreases in dedicated leased facility charges as a result of our rejection of certain contracts in
accordance with our rights under bankruptcy. As discussed above, the higher margin products in the commercial sales channel and sales of higher margin data services in the carrier channel both declined as a percentage of total revenue in 2002 when
compared to 2001. Although certain cost of access rate reductions were achieved within broad categories of COA&M expenses, aggregate costs of access increased due to having a higher percentage of lower margin carrier voice services.



Third party maintenance expenses decreased $33 million, or 17%, in 2002 to
$158 million from $191 million in 2001 primarily as a result of our ability to eliminate certain terrestrial, cable station and equipment maintenance contracts, transition certain third party managed costs into employee managed maintenance at lower
costs (which is included within other operating expenses below) and the renegotiation of terms and conditions, including pricing reductions, of existing contracts for maintenance during the bankruptcy.



Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses primarily
consist of (i) real estate and non-income tax related costs; (ii) selling and general and administrative expenses (SG&A), including all employee-related expenses and professional fees; (iii) bad debt expense; and (iv) cost of goods
sold for the cable installation and maintenance segment and for the managed services products sold within the telecommunications services segment.



SG&A expenses decreased substantially primarily as a result of our cost reduction and restructuring efforts beginning in August 2001 and continuing
throughout 2002. SG&A decreased $482 million, or 39% to $744 million in 2002 from $1.226 billion in 2001. The restructuring efforts have resulted in significant declines in employee-related costs including salaries, employee benefits, temporary
labor, commissions and travel. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 5,300 employees had been terminated from employment since the restructuring plan commenced in August 2001. Cost of sales decreased $238 million, or 51%, to $233 million in 2002 as
a result of a reduction of installation projects in 2002 and cost reduction efforts by the installation and maintenance segment, including the reduction of manning costs and other fleet-related expenses. Cost of sales related to installation revenue
declined $214 million, or 69% to $97 million in 2002 from $311 million in 2001 as a result of these events. However, since a significant portion of cost of sales related to installation revenue represents fixed vessel-related costs, we were unable
to reduce such costs enough to offset the rapid decline in subsea installation projects and, as a result, margins on installation projects were negative in 2002. Real estate and other tax related costs declined 35% to $154 million in 2002, which
reflects the impacts of our anticipated exit of certain leased facilities as defined in our restructuring plans. As of December 31, 2002, 247 sites, consisting of approximately 4 million square feet, had been vacated under the real estate
restructuring plan. Non-income taxes, specifically taxes on owned real estate and personal property, declined significantly in 2002 as a

result of the substantial impairment of our long-lived asset values. Bad debt expense also declined from $124 million in 2001 to $77 million in 2002 as a
result of improvements in the aging of our account receivables, due to focused collection efforts, enhanced evaluations of customers creditworthiness and limits, and recovery of significantly aged amounts through settlements.



Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization
consists of depreciation expense of our property and equipment, non-cash costs of capacity sold, amortization of customer installation costs and goodwill and other identifiable intangibles amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization
expense in 2002 from 2001 was directly related to the $17.181 billion impairment charges we recorded during the year ended December 31, 2001, which are more fully described in the next paragraph.



Asset Impairment Charges. We evaluated our long-lived assets
for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 121 in the fourth quarter of 2001 due to the continuing economic slowdown, the significant cost reduction and restructuring efforts across our business, the sale of three businesses by us between
January 2001 and December 2001 (GlobalCenter, ILEC and IPC), the change in our business outlook due primarily to the overcapacity in the telecommunications market, and difficulty in obtaining new revenue to fill our recently completed global IP
network.



Our bankruptcy filing on January 28, 2002 and the
capital structure contemplated for our planned reorganization further demonstrated impairments in our long-lived asset carrying values. As a result of the cumulative impact of these factors, we recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of
$16.636 billion for continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2001 in accordance with the guidelines set forth under SFAS No. 121, which resulted in a full write-off of $8.028 billion of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles and a
remaining net carrying value of property and equipment for continuing operations of $1.000 billion, following a tangible asset impairment charge of $8.608 billion. In addition, when we were actively seeking to sell our Global Marine business, we
recorded an impairment charge in the third quarter of 2001 relating to the entire net carrying value of remaining goodwill and other identifiable intangibles of $545 million in our installation and maintenance segment as we believed these assets
would not be realized through the sale of the business, based upon available information.



Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges were $95 million in 2002 (reflected in reorganization items, net, in accordance with SOP 90-7) compared to $410 million in 2001. In August 2001, we announced
our original restructuring efforts centered around the realignment and integration of our then regional organization structure into integrated global functions such as network operations, customer care, information systems, finance and sales and
marketing. This effort continued throughout 2002 following our bankruptcy filing on January 28, 2002 and increased cost reduction efforts.



The employee-related costs included in the restructuring charges for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $51 million and $71 million,
respectively. This is composed primarily of severance-related payments and outplacement costs for all employees involuntarily terminated. The costs related to facility closures included in the restructuring charges for the years ended December 31,
2002 and 2001 were $51 million and $270 million, respectively. In 2001, the $270 million of costs included continuing building lease obligations and estimated decommissioning costs and broker commissions for 130 sites, offset by anticipated
third-party sublease payments. It also includes $63 million of impairments to the facility-related assets such as leasehold improvements and abandoned office equipment related to these facility closures. In 2002, the net costs related to facility
closures included continuing building lease obligations and estimated decommissioning costs and broker commissions for an additional 133 sites, offset by anticipated third-party sublease payments. The charge initially recorded was further reduced by
the release of the related reserve for United States facilities rejected through the chapter 11 bankruptcy process and other sites terminated with the landlords. In 2002, we filed petitions in the Bankruptcy Court to reject the operating leases for
131 sites in the United States, resulting in a rejection claim liability of $66 million as of December 31, 2002, included in our liabilities subject to compromise.



As of December 31, 2002, 247 sites, consisting of approximately 4 million square feet, had been vacated and approximately
5,300 employees had been terminated as a result of these restructuring plans.

NMnot meaningful



Interest income. Interest income earned following the
commencement of our bankruptcy proceedings is reflected in reorganization items, net, in accordance with the provisions of bankruptcy reporting pursuant to SOP 90-7. Therefore, the interest income in 2002 reflects interest for the month of January
2002 only for the GC Debtors, whereas 2001 includes interest income for all entities for the full year.



Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is directly attributable to our bankruptcy filing on January 28, 2002. We ceased accruing
for all interest on our outstanding debt following the date of the commencement of our bankruptcy proceedings in accordance with the provisions of bankruptcy reporting contained within SOP 90-7. The balance of the 2002 amount represents interest
expense relating to capitalized lease obligations.



Loss
from write-down and sale of investments. As of December 31, 2001, substantially all of the carrying value of our strategic investment portfolio was permanently impaired in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115. The $2.041 billion in
losses incurred in 2001 relate to the permanent impairment charges of $2.097 billion and realized gains of $67 million, offset by realized losses of $11 million in our marketable securities portfolio. The permanent impairment charges includes $1.918
billion relating to the full impairment of our investment in the common stock of Exodus as no recovery was expected as a result of its bankruptcy filing in September 2001.



Other income, net. The increase in other income, net is partially attributable to the extinguishment of
obligations under certain long-term and prepaid lease agreements for services on our network either through customer settlement agreements or through the bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that had purchased such services from us. As a result,
we had no further requirement to provide services and, therefore, the remaining deferred revenue relating to these agreements of $97 million was realized into other income during 2002. The derecognition of these liabilities was in
accordance with the guidelines described within SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities and did not result in any revenue recognition. The balance of the increase in
other income was primarily attributable to foreign currency transaction gains (losses). Further, in 2001 we recognized a $114 million impairment charge related to an equity investment held in Latin America.



Reorganization Items.Reorganization items represent expenses
and income that are 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 consolidated statements of operations in accordance with the
provisions of SOP 90-7. The reorganization items in 2002 were comprised of (i) costs related to the employee retention programs, (ii) non-cash charges relating to the write-off of deferred financing fees, (iii) retained professional fee costs
associated with the reorganization, (iv) interest income attributable to increased GC Debtors cash

balances as a result of the bankruptcy, (v) adjustments to liabilities subject to compromise to the settlement claim amounts allowed by the Bankruptcy Court,
and (vi) costs incurred in connection with our continued restructuring efforts (see Restructuring Charges above for further discussion).



Benefit for income taxes.The 2002 income tax benefit is primarily attributable to the United States income tax refunds received in the
fourth quarter of 2002 and in the third quarter of 2003 as a result of loss carrybacks from 2001 and 2002 to prior tax years. The income tax benefit in 2001 is primarily attributable to the reversal of $535 million of deferred tax expense recorded
in 2000 and the use of losses and other tax attributes of continuing operations to offset the taxes provided for on the sales and results of operations of the ILEC and IPC of $1.096 billion reflected in the results of discontinued operations.



Income (loss) from discontinued operations. The
increase in income from discontinued operations in 2002 was primarily attributable to the $1.184 billion gain on abandonment of Asia Global Crossing. We have classified the financial position and results of operations of Asia Global Crossing as
discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The net loss of Asia Global Crossings operations decreased $1.982 billion to $236 million in 2002 from
$2.218 billion in 2001. The loss from Asia Global Crossings operations in 2002 was primarily due to interest costs of $100 million, and operating expenses of $205 million, offset by revenue of $93 million. The 2001 loss from Asia Global
Crossings operations was primarily a result of long-lived asset impairment charges of $2.399 billion, equity investment impairment of $450 million and operating losses of $300 million offset by $949 million in losses to minority interests of
Asia Global Crossing. The Asia Global Crossing impairment charges were recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121 and APB No. 18 in the fourth quarter of 2001. These impairment charges represented the shortfall between Asia Global
Crossings long-lived asset net carrying values from the discounted future cash flow stream and the estimated long-lived asset fair value in the then-pending sales of Asia Global Crossing, its PCL subsidiary and its 50% interest in the HGC
joint venture to Asia Netcom, Pivotal, and Hutchison, respectively. The aggregate impairment charges of $2.399 billion and $450 million in the year ended December 31, 2001, which are included as discontinued operations in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations, include the full impairment of $100 million in goodwill and other identifiable intangibles, the write-off of $450 million in connection with Asia Global Crossings 50% investment in the
HGC joint venture and tangible asset impairment charges of $2.299 billion, including PCL.



In 2001, we sold our GlobalCenter, ILEC and IPC businesses. The ILEC and IPC businesses were sold for losses of $206 million and $120 million, respectively. The gain on sale of GlobalCenter was deferred and was to be
recognized over a 10-year period as a reduction of operating expense. As a result of fresh-start accounting on the Effective Date, the remaining deferred gain was eliminated. In addition, a deferred tax expense of $600 million was recorded in
the third quarter of 2000 in connection with the sale of the ILEC. This deferred tax expense and related liability restated in the third quarter of 2000 are completely reversed in the second quarter of 2001 to deferred tax benefit from discontinued
operations. The corresponding current tax liability was offset by losses and other tax attributes of continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2001.



Preferred stock dividends. Preferred stock dividends decreased in 2002 as we ceased accruing all preferred stock dividends on January 28,
2002 upon our filing for bankruptcy protection in accordance with SOP 90-7.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Financial
Condition and State of Liquidity



The below disclosure
regarding our liquidity has not been updated from that set forth in the Original Form 10-K Filing. For updated liquidity disclosure, see Note 33, Subsequent Events, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



At December 31, 2003, our available liquidity consisted of $290 million of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we held $21 million ($6 million of which is included in long-term other assets) in restricted cash. This amount represents collateral relating to certain letters of credit, guarantees,
performance bonds and deposits.



We expect our available
liquidity to substantially decline in 2004 due to operating cash flow requirements and Plan of Reorganization related payments in 2004 of $128 million for deferred reorganization costs and

$30 million for the final fees and expenses of retained professionals under the bankruptcy proceedings. We currently expect that we will need to obtain
up to $100 million in financing to fund our anticipated liquidity requirements through the end of 2004. We are currently seeking to arrange a working capital facility or other financing to provide us with this necessary liquidity. We are in the
midst of substantial planning for periods beyond 2004, having just recently emerged from reorganization. Based on our current projections, we will need to raise substantial additional financing to meet our anticipated liquidity needs beyond 2004. If
the Company is unable to raise substantial financing or improve the Companys operating results to achieve positive operating cash flows in the future, the Company would be unable to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements.



If we cannot arrange a working capital facility or raise other financing
during 2004, ST Telemedia has indicated its intention to provide us with up to $100 million of financial support to fund our operating needs on such terms and conditions as we and ST Telemedia may agree. ST Telemedias intention is based on our
commitment to adhere to an operating plan requiring no more than $100 million in additional funds in 2004. If provided, this financial support could be in the form of (1) a guarantee or other support by ST Telemedia in respect of borrowings by us
under a working capital facility or other financing or (2) a subordinated loan from ST Telemedia. The indenture for the New Senior Secured Notes does not permit ST Telemedia to lend to us directly on a secured or senior basis. While ST
Telemedia has indicated its intention to provide financial support to us and management expects ST Telemedia to make such financial support available, ST Telemedia does not have any contractual obligation to provide financial support to us, and we
can provide no assurance that ST Telemedia will provide any such financial support.



We can provide no assurance that our cash flows will improve or that we will be able to arrange financing sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for 2004 and beyond. It is likely that amendments to the indenture for
the New Senior Secured Notes will be required by lenders as a condition to their willingness to provide financing. Although a wholly owned subsidiary of ST Telemedia currently holds the New Senior Secured Notes, ST Telemedia is under no
obligation to continue to hold such notes for any designated period.



The indenture for the New Senior Secured Notes imposes certain restrictions on our ability to raise additional financing. See Indebtedness below for a description of these restrictions.



Our core network was substantially completed in mid-2001. Since then our
Company has continued to evolve its focus from network construction to service capabilities and therefore we have reduced our capital expenditure requirements substantially. The several billion dollars of capital expenditures spent between 1998 and
2001 decreased to $281 million in 2002 and even further to $152 million in 2003. Since our focus is on service capabilities to our customers, over 70% of our anticipated capital spending in 2004 will consist of capital spending focused towards
meeting the needs of our expanding relationships with existing customers and meeting the requirements of new customers. All of this spending is directly tied to revenue that will occur primarily at the edge of our network. As a result of the
Companys current state of liquidity, our flexibility in expanding our capital spending higher than current levels could limit our ability in meeting customer requirements. The telecommunications industry remains highly capital-intensive so our
cost advantage from our already completed network differentiates us. However, the size of our network demands certain maintenance requirements, which have been strained due to cost constraints during the 22-month bankruptcy period. The drastic
decline in our capital expenditures may result in increased longer-term maintenance requirements, although it is not possible at this time to make predictions in this regard.



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 of our other subsidiaries to become and remain illiquid while other subsidiaries have sufficient liquidity to meet their
liquidity needs.

Global Marine has experienced significant declines in revenues since 2001 and is expected to experience
negative cash flows in 2004. Global Marine expects to be in default under one financial ratio covenant under two agreements, a capital lease and a ship charter as of June 30, 2004 and in default under a second such financial ratio covenant as of the
end of 2004. Global Marine is in discussions with the counterparties to these agreements to address the expected breaches of such financial covenants, and is discussing with its other principal ship charter creditors a possible restructuring of the
payment schedules under its agreements with such creditors. If Global Marine is unsuccessful in these efforts, these parties could terminate such agreements and accelerate Global Marines required payments thereunder. Such an action would
trigger cross-default provisions in Global Marines other ship charters and capital lease obligations, as well as the cross-default provisions under the indenture for the New Senior Secured Notes and other financing agreements of ours which
could accelerate our repayment of indebtedness. 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. Any strategic transaction involving Global Marine would require approval of New GCLs Board of Directors. In the event of a sale of Global Marine, any net proceeds received by us, after settlement of liabilities and deal costs, would
be required to be used to repay the New Senior Secured Notes.



Indebtedness



Prior to the Effective Date,
Predecessor had $6.641 billion pre-petition indebtedness outstanding included in liabilities subject to compromise. On the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization all of this pre-petition indebtedness was discharged.



On the Effective Date, Global Crossing North America Holdings,
Inc. (GCNAH), one of Successors U.S. subsidiaries, issued $200 million in aggregate principal amount of New Senior Secured Notes to ST Telemedia. On March 12, 2004, ST Telemedia transferred the New Senior Secured Notes to a
subsidiary. The notes will mature on the third anniversary of their issuance. Interest accrues at 11% per annum and is due June 15 and December 15 each year.



The New Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by New GCL and all of its material subsidiaries. The New Senior Secured Notes are senior in right of payment
to all other indebtedness of New GCL and its material subsidiaries, except that they will be equal in right of payment with (i) one or more working capital facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million (the Working Capital
Facilities) and (ii) a limited amount of certain other senior indebtedness. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the stock and assets of Global Marine and GCUK and their material subsidiaries. In addition, any
sale of those entities will trigger mandatory repayment of the New Senior Secured Notes to the extent of the proceeds of any such sale. To the extent proceeds of any such sales are other than cash, such proceeds shall be substituted for the
collateral. Payment of the New Senior Secured Notes is also secured by a lien on substantially all the other assets of Successor and its material subsidiaries, such lien to be second in priority to the lien on the Working Capital Facilities if and
when such Working Capital Facilities are provided.



GCNAH may
redeem the New Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, at any time without penalty or premium. In the event of a change of control, GCNAH will be obligated to offer to redeem the notes at 101% of the outstanding principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest.



The New Senior Secured Notes were
issued under an indenture which includes covenants and events of default that are customary for high-yield senior note issuances. These provisions include (i) limitations on the indebtedness of Successor, (ii) limitations on dividend and other
payments to equity holders (including ST Telemedia), (iii) limitations on investments and sale and leaseback transactions, (iv) restrictions on asset sales, consolidations, and mergers, (v) limitations on granting additional liens and (vi)
cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of our repayment obligations in the event that one or more of our subsidiary companies were to default on any capital lease obligation or other debt obligation totaling more than $2.5
million or the bankruptcy or insolvency of any or our subsidiaries. The covenants permit Successor to enter

into the Working Capital Facilities and have limited exceptions, baskets, and carve-outs. The limitation on indebtedness covenant, in particular, permits the
incurrence of the following: (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 we satisfy the leverage ratio specified in the indenture, although we do not expect to satisfy such ratio for the foreseeable future. In order to secure any financing with a third-party, the Company
expects that the holders of the New Senior Secured Notes (ST Telemedia) will need to agree to certain modifications to the terms and conditions of the New Senior Secured Notes pertaining to the priority of liens on assets securing the debt.



The New Senior Secured Notes were issued to ST Telemedia in a
private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and subsequently transferred to a subsidiary of ST Telemedia on March 12, 2004. The New Senior Secured Notes are therefore restricted securities for purposes of
the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. In addition, the initial holder of the New Senior Secured Notes (i.e., a subsidiary of ST Telemedia) is a control person of the issuer of the securities within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. ST Telemedias subsidiary may sell or otherwise transfer the New Senior Secured Notes only pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the SEC or an exemption from Securities Act registration
requirements. We have agreed in principal to grant customary registration rights to ST Telemedias subsidiary in respect of the New Senior Secured Notes.

Our working capital
decreased $464 million to a negative working capital of $148 million at December 31, 2003 (Successor) compared to December 31, 2002 (Predecessor) primarily due to the costs and related impacts to our business of the prolonged bankruptcy period, the
impacts of the required Effective Date cash flows, fresh start accounting and the cash performance of the business during the year. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents decreased from $423 million at December 31, 2002 to $290 million at December
31, 2003. This $133 million decline reflects the cash infusion of $450 million from ST Telemedia for a 61.5% equity ownership in New GCL valued at $250 million and to purchase the $200 million 11% New Senior Secured Notes. The prolonged bankruptcy
period resulted in 2003 cash outflows in excess of $467 million (including $13 million of restricted cash payments) for payments in connection with the reorganization. On the Effective Date, all of the subject to compromise liabilities totaling
$8.710 billion (not included in working capital at December 31, 2002) were settled for unrestricted cash payments of $213 million and an additional $221 million representing deferred reorganization payments remaining beyond emergence as a component
within working capital. The December 31, 2003 working capital calculation contains $128 million of such deferred reorganization costs ($42 million additionally remains in long-term liabilities). The Company also incurred cash costs of approximately
$190 million during the year relating to real estate restructuring costs, severance-related costs, retention costs and

payments to retained professionals of the bankruptcy case. The significant changes in other attributes of the working capital change included a significant
reduction in restricted cash, which was $312 million less at December 31, 2003 versus prior year due primarily to the Effective Date restricted cash payments to pre-petition creditors aggregating approximately $322 million (including $309 million in
an escrow account representing proceeds of the December 2001 sale of IPC plus interest and $13 million in an account in control of the JPLs; see Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements) to complete the settlement of the subject
to compromise liabilities previously mentioned in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization. Additionally, in fresh start accounting the current portion of deferred revenue was substantially reduced resulting in a December 31, 2003 deferred revenue
current portion balance $187 million less than the balance at December 31, 2002. The remaining positive recurring working capital performance of the business, which benefited from cash collections on pre-existing IRU contracts, was more than offset
by required capital expenditures of $152 million in the calendar year. The balance of the changes in working capital primarily relate to the $61 million decline in accounts receivable during the year serving as evidence to the Companys strong
collections efforts.



Cash Flow Activity for the 22-Day
period ended December 31, 2003Successor



Cash
and cash equivalents declined from $367 million immediately following the Effective Date to $290 million as of December 31, 2003. This net cash outflow was primarily attributable to $63 million of restructuring and reorganization related
disbursements during the brief 22-day period, along with $11 million in cash capital expenditures. In late December Global Marine collected $8 million early on a note receivable related to the sale of a vessel that had occurred earlier in 2003. A
$15 million installment under the settlement with Microsoft (see Item 3, Legal Proceedings, of the Original Form 10-K Filing) was received on December 31, 2003.



Cash Flow Activity for the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003Predecessor



Cash and cash equivalents declined from $423 million on December 31, 2002 to
$367 million immediately following the Effective Date. As depicted in Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting, in the accompanying financial statements, cash and cash equivalents at the commencement of the Effective Date was $196 million. During
the emergence closing activities the Company received a combined debt and equity infusion of $450 million from ST Telemedia and subsequently disbursed $279 million of that cash to satisfy closing day payment requirements to pre-petition creditors
$213 million as previously mentioned, $10 million to fund escrow requirements for existing letters of credit and payments of $56 million to professionals retained in the bankruptcy proceedings and indenture trustee costs. The January 1, 2003 to
December 8, 2003 decline in cash of $227 million ($423 million to $196 million) was primarily related to the cash paid for non-Effective Date reorganization costs of $122 million comprised primarily of real estate restructuring costs,
severance-related costs, retention costs and payments to retained professionals and cash capital expenditures of $141 million, offset by other positive recurring working capital performance of the business, which benefited from collection of tax
refunds and strong collections performance, including collections on pre-existing IRU contracts.



Combined Proforma Cash Flow Activity for January 1, 2003December 31, 2003



As discussed previously, the net cash outflow of the proforma combined
Predecessor and Successor operations in 2003 was $133 million ($583 million after reflecting the $450 million cash infusion from ST Telemedia). Reorganization cost requirements ($467 million), capital expenditures ($152 million) and capital lease
obligations ($18 million) were slightly offset by other positive recurring working capital of the business ($36 million) and asset sale proceeds ($19 million) during the year.



In 2002, the net cash outflow of the Company was $184 million. However, in 2002 no external financing occurred during a
period in which $292 million in reorganization requirements were funded and capital expenditures were higher than 2003 levels at $281 million. The Companys working capital benefited from the bankruptcy (i.e. payables due at the time of the
filing were stayed while the Company continued its collection efforts from customers) in 2002 by an amount that exceeded the reorganization requirements in the year. In addition the Company collected on pre-existing IRU contracts and received $93
million in tax refunds.

##### Table of Contents

In 2004, the Company is expecting to incur approximately $190 million of cash costs relating to payment
of deferred reorganization costs, real estate restructuring costs, and final fees and expenses to be paid to professionals retained in the bankruptcy proceedings. Cash capital expenditures for the telecommunications services segment are expected to
range between $145-$165 million and interest costs under the New Senior Secured Notes will be $22 million. The Company expects improvements in working capital from 2003 levels, as payment terms should improve substantially with vendors now that the
Company has emerged from bankruptcy protection. As previously discussed herein, the Company ended 2003 with $290 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and anticipates obtaining $100 million of work capital financing to fund operations
through January 1, 2005.



Cash Flows from Operating
Activities



Cash flows from operations declined $469
million in 2003 from the 2002 performance due primarily to the working capital benefits experienced by the Company immediately following the bankruptcy filing in January 2002 as previously mentioned. The cash used in operating activities in 2003 of
$420 million is primarily comprised of $467 million in reorganization costs incurred offset by $36 million net inflows from other working capital.



A further direct cash flow analysis of 2003 working capital performance reveals that cash collections from telecommunications operations approximated
$2.775 billion in 2003 and the installation and maintenance segment collected approximately $195 million in cash during the year from its collection efforts, termination of ship charter ($15 million) and sales of vessels and other marine equipment
($15 million). The telecommunications services segment receipts just mentioned do not include approximately $65 million of collections under IRU contracts during 2003, including $27 million from one customer, which represented the fourth and final
installment under a contract that originated in 1999, and approximately $33 million from another customer for whom we are providing significant capacity to on our UK network. In addition, during 2003, the Companys cash needs due to the
bankruptcy and restructuring related costs were assisted by the receipt of significant nonrecurring cash receipts, including $23 million and $20 million related to the Microsoft and Softbank settlements (see Item 3 Legal Proceedings, of
the Original Form 10-K Filing), respectively, and $35 million in tax refunds.



Cash disbursements for cost of access approximated $2 billion in 2003, which is representative of the continuing strict enforcement of payment terms by our vendors throughout 2003 and a reduction in the access
liability of $6 million year over year. Operating cash disbursements (including those relating to the segments restructuring efforts) at the installation and maintenance services segment approximated $190 million for 2003. However, the
cumulative net cash flow of the above mentioned items was not adequate to cover the 2003 telecommunications services segment operating cash disbursements (including cost of sales, real estate, payroll, 2002 annual bonus costs, third party
maintenance and general and administrative costs) of approximately $910 million.



Cash Flows from Investing Activities



Capital expenditures declined $129 million in 2003 from 2002 levels. In the prolonged period of bankruptcy the Companys capital requirements diminished as it operated in a customer retention operating model
requiring less capital to maintain the existing revenue stream. The majority of the decline was represented by outflows in 2002 by foreign subsidiaries of the Company, not protected from local vendors under the bankruptcy laws in the United States,
to their respective vendors for capital projects completed prior to the bankruptcy filing in January 2002. Certain of these payments continued into 2003, but not at the levels that were experienced in 2002. The remainder of the 2003 capital
expenditures was necessary to meet customer requirements and network maintenance demands. The decline in capital expenditures was offset by a decrease in proceeds received from the sale of fixed assets. The Company actively sold unnecessary
equipment and real estate related assets in its telecommunications services segment early in the bankruptcy proceedings. A majority of the 2003 fixed asset

sale activity occurred in the installation and maintenance segment as Global Marine continued to reduce its cost structure by selling certain vessels.



Cash Flows from Financing Activities



Results from financing activities improved $428 million in 2003 from 2002
levels due directly to the $450 million capital and debt infusion by ST Telemedia on the Effective Date. The remainder of the financing activities in 2003 largely comprise required payments under capital leases, primarily by GC UK relating to their
rail network and Global Marine related to their fleet of vessels. In 2002, $17 million in proceeds from short-term borrowings offset the capital lease cash activity.

|(2) | Amounts represent contractual commitments with third parties to purchase network access services ($1.248 billion), maintenance services for portions of our network
($328 million), other purchase order commitments ($67 million), rental payments for restructured properties ($473 million), and deferred reorganization costs related to our bankruptcy proceedings ($170 million). Included in the $67 million of other
purchase order commitments is approximately $5 million related to our 2004 estimated incremental expenditures to implement the Network Security Agreement. We expect to incur approximately $2.5 million of incremental expenditures annually for years
beyond 2004. The term of the Network Security Agreement is as long as ST Telemedia holds more than 10% of the equity in New GCL. As the term is indeterminable we have not included the commitment beyond 2004.

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. In 2003, our revenues from the carrier sales
channel represented approximately 58% of our consolidated revenues.



Off-balance sheet arrangements



We have
approximately $20 million of letter of credit, performance and surety bond requirements as of December 31, 2003 relating to our workmens compensation and employee liability insurance policies, real estate lease obligations, customer
performance obligations and license and permit obligations to governmental agencies. Approximately $18 million of these requirements are collateralized with restricted cash as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



From time to time, New GCL and certain of its wholly owned
subsidiaries may enter into guarantees on behalf of other wholly owned subsidiaries.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA



See the index included on page F-1 of this annual report on Form 10-K/A,
Index to Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedule.



ITEM
9A. 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 Form 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 Form 10-K Filing.



Prior to the
Original Form 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. No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter of 2003 that has materially affected, or that was likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.



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;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  | 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 Form 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 Form 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 7, 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 this 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 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 this annual report on Form 10-K/A, management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has 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 have 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 light of the implementation of these new measures, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the material weakness in
internal control over financial reporting relating to our cost of access accounting has been remediated as of the date of the filing of this annual report on Form 10-K/A.



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.

PART III



ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT



Global Crossings board of directors consists of ten members, all of whom assumed their positions as directors and committee members upon our
emergence from bankruptcy. Eight members were appointed by STT Crossing Ltd., our majority shareholder (STT Crossing), which is a subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd (ST Telemedia). References to the
STT Shareholder Group herein mean ST Telemedia and any of its subsidiaries that are shareholders of the Company from time to time. The remaining two members of the board were appointed by the Creditors Committee (the Creditors
Committee) in our bankruptcy proceedings. Each director appointed by the STT Shareholder Group has a term of three years unless earlier removed by the STT Shareholder Group. The directors appointed by the Creditors Committee will serve as
directors until the second anniversary of our emergence from bankruptcy, December 9, 2005.



Our bye-laws provide that the STT Shareholder Group will be able to appoint up to eight directors to our board based upon the STT Shareholder Groups percentage ownership of our stock at any given time. This
right of the STT Shareholder Group to designate directors is summarized as follows:



| | a. | For so long as the STT Shareholder Group owns both Global Crossing common stock and Global Crossing 2.0% Cumulative Senior Convertible Preferred Shares (Senior Preferred
Shares) representing in the aggregate not less than 50 percent of our outstanding common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis, the STT Shareholder Group will be entitled to appoint eight directors to our board, holding office at any one
time, each for a term of three years (which can be renewed).
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b. | If the STT Shareholder Group owns both Global Crossing common stock and Global Crossing Senior Preferred Shares representing in the aggregate less than 50 percent, but not less than
35 percent, of our outstanding common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis, the STT Shareholder Group will be entitled to appoint six directors to our board, holding office at any one time, each for a term of three years (which can be renewed).
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | c. | If the STT Shareholder Group owns both Global Crossing common stock and Global Crossing Senior Preferred Shares representing in the aggregate less than 35 percent, but not less than
20 percent, of our outstanding common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis, the members of the STT Shareholder Group will be entitled to appoint four directors to our board, holding office at any one time, each for a term of three years (which
can be renewed).
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | d. | If the STT Shareholder Group owns both Global Crossing common stock and Global Crossing Senior Preferred Shares representing in the aggregate less than 20 percent of our outstanding
common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis, but not less than the lesser of (x) five percent of our outstanding common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis and (y) 50 percent of the number of shares of our common stock (calculated on an
as-converted basis) acquired on December 9, 2003 by the members of the STT Shareholder Group in the aggregate, the members of the STT Shareholder Group shall be entitled to appoint two directors to our board, holding office at any one time, each for
a term of three years (which can be renewed).
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | e. | For so long as the STT Shareholder Group is entitled to appoint at least two directors, a director designated by the STT Shareholder Group shall serve as (i) Chairman of the Board,
(ii) Chairman of the Audit Committee (to the extent permitted by applicable stock exchange rules), (iii) Chairman of the Compensation Committee, (iv) Chairman of the Executive Committee and (v) Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If the share ownership percentage of
the STT Shareholder Group at any time falls below one of the thresholds specified above, then the term of office of the number of directors that the STT Shareholder Group is no longer entitled to appoint shall terminate at the following meeting of
Shareholders (whether annual or special).

##### Table of Contents

Our bye-laws also provide that if a Creditors Committee director resigns (or is otherwise unable to
serve) during the initial two year term, the other Creditors Committee director appoints his replacement for the balance of the two year term. If both Creditors Committee directors resign (or are otherwise unable to serve) during the initial two
year term, the alternate director (if any) previously designated by either such Creditors Committee director will serve out the rest of that directors two year term. If both Creditors Committee directors resign (or are otherwise
unable to serve) during the initial two year term and an alternate had not been appointed, then the estate representative (which is handling the remaining affairs of Old GCL) has the right to designate their replacement(s) for the balance of the two
year term. After the initial two year terms, the estate representatives right to appoint and replace these two directors ends and they are subject to election by majority shareholder vote.



The following table sets forth the names, ages and positions of our

Board Meetings and
Committees



Since we emerged from bankruptcy on December
9, 2003, the newly constituted Board of Directors and its committees did not hold any meetings through the end of the year, except for an Executive Committee Meeting held on December 17, 2003. The Board of Directors and various Board committees of
our predecessor entity, Old GCL, did, however, meet numerous times during 2003. The former Board of Directors held 41 meetings, 31 of which were telephonic and ten of which were in-person. The former Compensation Committee met seven
times, with one telephonic and six in-person meetings. The former Audit Committee met 27 times, with 20 telephonic and seven in-person meetings. The former Special Committee met 16 times, with 12 telephonic and four
in-person meetings.



We have adopted an ethics
policy that applies to all of our directors, officers (including chief executive officer, chief financial officer and any other person performing similar functions) and employees. The policy, together with the charters of our audit committee,
compensation committee, nominating and corporate governance committee, executive committee and government security committee can be found on our website at www.globalcrossing.com, or can be mailed to shareholders upon written request to our
Corporate Secretary at Wessex House, 45 Reid Street, Hamilton HM12, Bermuda. If a waiver of our ethics policy is granted to any of our directors or executive officers, such waiver will be posted on our website within five days of that waiver being
granted.



As a controlled company, we are not required to
comply with NASDAQ rules that require listed companies to have a majority of independent directors or nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees composed entirely of independent directors or to have written charters for certain
committees addressing specified matters. At such time as we are no longer a controlled company, if ever, we will amend our committee charters and change the composition of our committees to ensure compliance with these NASDAQ
requirements.

##### Table of Contents

The five standing committees of the Board of the Company are the Audit Committee, the Compensation
Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Executive Committee and the Government Security Committee. These committees are described in the following paragraphs.



Audit Committee



The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Rescoe (chairman), Aldridge and Erkeneff, all of whom satisfy the independence and other requirements
of NASDAQ rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Rescoe, the committees chairman, is an audit committee financial expert as defined in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The primary purpose of the Audit
Committee is to assist the Board of Directors of the Company in fulfilling its responsibility for the integrity of the Companys financial reports. To carry out this purpose, the Audit Committee oversees: (A) managements conduct of the
Companys financial reporting process, including the integrity of the financial statements and other financial information provided by the Company to governmental and regulatory bodies, to shareholders and other security holders, or to other
users of such information, (B) the Companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that may have a material impact on the Companys financial statements, (C) the appointment, qualifications (including independence) and
performance of the Companys independent auditor and the quality of the annual independent audit of the Companys financial statements, (D) the performance of the Companys internal audit function and managements establishment
and application of the Companys systems of internal accounting and financial controls and disclosure controls, and (E) the adequacy of and adherence to (including any waivers granted to officers from adherence to) the Companys code of
business conduct and ethics, and such other matters as are incidental thereto. The Audit Committee also carries out other functions from time to time as assigned to it by the Board. A copy of the charter of the Audit Committee is attached as an
exhibit to this annual report on Form 10-K/A.



In carrying
out its purpose, the goal of the Audit Committee is to serve as an independent and objective monitor of the Companys financial reporting process and internal control systems, including the activities of the Companys independent auditor
and internal audit function, and to provide an open avenue of communication with the Board for, and among, the independent auditor, internal audit operations and financial and executive management.



Compensation Committee



The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Seah (chairman), Cromer, Lee
and Sachs. The primary purpose of the Compensation Committee is to discharge certain responsibilities of the Board related to the compensation of the Companys key employees (as defined by the committee) and related matters. In
fulfilling this purpose, the Compensation Committee performs the following functions:



| |  | Establishes the overall compensation philosophy and policies of the Company, subject to concurrence by the Board.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to key employees compensation for all key employees other than the CEO and the executive vice presidents (EVPs),
and recommends those goals and objectives for approval by the Board with respect to the CEO and the EVPs; provided that the Compensation Committee itself approves goals and objectives for awards intended to qualify for an exemption under Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Performance-Based Executive Compensation).
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Based on an evaluation of the key employees performance against those corporate goals and objectives, (i) approves the compensation level for each key employee other than the
CEO and the EVPs and (ii) recommends to the Board the compensation level for the CEO and the EVPs; provided that the Compensation Committee itself determines all Performance-Based Executive Compensation.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Messrs. van Wachem (chairman), Clemins, Lee and Sachs. The

the nominees for all directorships, whether such directorships are filled by the Board or the shareholders, (ii) developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines and principles and (iii) reviewing, on a periodic
basis, the overall corporate governance of the Company and recommending improvements when necessary.



At this time, as described above, the right to appoint individuals for board membership is currently held by both our majority shareholder, the STT
Shareholder Group, and the Creditors Committee directors. These designation rights will in general control the nomination process until either (a) the STT Shareholder Groups share ownership percentage in the Company changes or (b) the
Creditors Committee directors terms are completed.



Executive Committee



The Executive
Committee consists of Messrs. Lee (chairman), Aldridge (with Mr. Erkeneff serving as Mr. Aldridges alternate member of the Committee consistent with the alternate director provisions of the Companys bye-laws), Clontz, Lambert,
Legere, Macaluso and Mandeville. The Executive Committee has the power to exercise all the powers of the Board when exigencies or practical considerations prevent the convening of the full Board in a timely manner, subject to such limitations as the
Board and/or applicable law may from time to time impose. In addition, the Committee shall meet regularly to review and discuss the strategic direction of and major developments at the Company, and shall advise and make recommendations to management
and the Board relating to such matters.

the United States Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security. The NSA, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to our Original Form 10-K Filing, establishes processes and procedures to ensure the
security of our U.S. network assets, which include transmission and routing equipment, switches, and associated operational support systems and personnel (referred to in the NSA as the Domestic Communications Infrastructure). The
Committee shall be comprised solely of directors who are U.S. citizens; who, if not already in possession of U.S. security clearances, shall apply for U.S. security clearances pursuant to Executive Order 12968 immediately upon their appointment to
the Security Committee.

|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|** | The grant date present value is calculated using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: (a) fair value of the common stock on December 9, 2003 of $35.00 per share,
which was the closing price of the Companys common stock on December 10, 2003, the first day of trading of such shares on the over-the-counter market; (b) volatility of 70%; (c) no dividends; (d) five (5) year average life of options; and (e)
discount rate/bond yield of 3.25%. The $10.16 exercise price was based on the price paid per share of common stock by the STT Shareholder Group pursuant to our plan of reorganization.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation



From January 1, 2003 through December 9, 2003, Alice Kane, Jerry Lambert and
Myron Ullman served on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Old GCL. During the balance of 2003, Peter Seah Lim Huat, Donald Cromer, Lee Theng Kiat and Robert Sachs served on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company. None of these individuals had any relationships with the Company requiring disclosure under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Mr. Seah is president and chief executive officer of Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd and Mr. Lee is
president and chief executive officer of ST Telemedia, which are both indirect parent entities of the Company. Also see Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.



Certain Compensation Arrangements



On October 3, 2001, we hired Mr. Legere as our chief executive officer.
Until Mr. Legeres employment with Asia Global Crossing terminated on January 11, 2002, Mr. Legere also continued at the same time to serve as chief executive officer of Asia Global Crossing, then still a subsidiary of Old GCL. On the date of
his hiring, Mr. Legeres employment agreement with Asia Global Crossing was effectively amended and restated in a new employment agreement among us, Asia Global Crossing and Mr. Legere (the October 3, 2001 Employment Agreement);
provided that Asia Global Crossings obligations under Mr. Legeres previously existing February 12, 2000 employment agreement with Asia Global Crossing technically continued, with any compensation paid under that agreement being offset
against the employers obligations under the October 3, 2001 Employment Agreement.



The October 3, 2001 Employment Agreement provided for a three-year term and a base salary of $1.1 million, a target annual bonus of $1.375 million, a signing bonus in the net after-tax amount of $3.5 million, and 5
million options to purchase Old GCL common stock. The agreement also changed the terms applicable to the $10 million balance then outstanding on Mr. Legeres promissory note to Asia Global Crossing. Specifically, Old GCL agreed to pay after-tax
amounts sufficient to cover all taxes attributable to the forgiveness of Mr. Legeres loan. These tax-related payments in respect of the three $5 million installments were payable on January 1, 2002, October 1, 2002 and February 1, 2003,
respectively. The tax-related payment in respect of the forgiveness of the first $5 million installment was made by the Company on or about January 1, 2002. This payment, in the amount of approximately $4.8 million, also included a tax gross-up in
respect of interest imputed on Mr. Legeres loan in 2001. The $10 million loan balance was forgiven in full in connection with the termination of Mr. Legeres employment by Asia Global Crossing on January 11, 2002. No tax-related payment
was ever made in respect of the forgiveness of the $10 million balance of Mr. Legeres loan.



After Old GCLs January 28, 2002 bankruptcy filing, on April 8, 2002, Old GCL filed a motion to assume the October 31, 2001 Employment Agreement,
subject to certain modifications, including a temporary voluntary 30% reduction in Mr. Legeres base salary. Mr. Legeres employment agreement was the subject of extensive negotiation and review by the creditors committee and the agent for
Old GCLs bank lenders. Numerous additional concessions were made by Mr. Legere in order to attain the approval of the creditors, including the tying of Mr. Legeres annual bonus opportunity to the attainment of specified corporate and
individual performance goals subject to the approval of the creditors committee and the bank lenders, and the waiver of certain relocation expenses and certain additional severance, retention and other benefits, including the tax-related payments
referenced above that would have totaled approximately $8.8 million in respect of the $10 million of Mr. Legeres loan forgiven on January 11, 2002. In light of these concessions, the agreement provided Mr. Legere with (1) a $3.2 million
retention bonus payable in four equal installments on June 4, 2002, July 31, 2002, October 31, 2002 and January 31, 2003 and (2) the opportunity to earn a performance fee of up to $4 million based on the value to be received by the creditors of the
Company in its chapter 11 reorganization (the Contingent Performance Fee). The Bankruptcy Court approved the assumption of the modified employment agreement (the Bankruptcy Period Employment Agreement) on May 31, 2002. The
$3.2 million retention bonus payments were made by the Company to Mr. Legere on the dates specified above.

##### Table of Contents

Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Legere (the
Emergence Employment Agreement). This agreement superseded the prior employment agreement Old GCL had with Mr. Legere, except with respect to certain rights Mr. Legere had under that agreement relating to indemnification, liability
insurance and the resolution of disputes thereunder.



The
Emergence Employment Agreement: (1) provides Mr. Legere with an annual base salary of $1.1 million and a target annual bonus of $1.1 million; (2) entitles Mr. Legere to attend all meetings of our Board of Directors and to receive all materials
provided to the members of the Board, subject to certain limited exceptions; (3) extends the term of the agreement through the fourth anniversary of December 9, 2003 (the date on which the agreement became effective); (4) entitled Mr. Legere to a
$2.7 million bonus payable on December 9, 2003 but superseded any rights he would otherwise have had under his prior employment agreement in respect of the Contingent Performance Fee; (5) entitled Mr. Legere to an initial grant of options to
purchase 325,000 shares of our common stock, such options to vest in full upon termination of Mr. Legeres employment by the Company without cause or upon Mr. Legeres death, disability or resignation for good
reason (as such quoted terms are defined in the agreement; such terms being collectively referred to as Designated Terminations); (6) provides for the payment of severance to Mr. Legere in the event of a Designated Termination in
an amount ranging from one to three times the sum of Mr. Legeres base salary and target annual bonus, depending on the date of such termination, plus certain other benefits and payments; and (7) entitles Mr. Legere to reimbursement (on an
after-tax basis) for certain excise taxes should they apply to payments made to Mr. Legere by the Company. The Emergence Employment Agreement is filed as an exhibit to our 2003 annual report on Form 10-K. Mr. Legere is the only Named Executive
Officer of the Company with an employment agreement.



In
connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, we adopted the Global Crossing Limited Key Management Protection Plan. This plan provides enhanced severance benefits for executive officers and certain other of our key employees. With respect to each
of John Legere, José Antonio Ríos, Dan Enright, Ted Higase and Anthony Christie, if his employment is terminated by us (other than for cause or by reason of death or disability), or he terminates employment for good reason
(generally, an unfavorable change in employment status or compensation), the plan entitles him to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to two times (three times in the case of Mr. Legere) the sum of his annual base salary plus guideline bonus
opportunity (reduced by any cash severance benefit otherwise paid to the executive under any applicable severance plan or other severance arrangement), (ii) a prorated annual target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, (iii)
continuation of his life and health insurance coverages for up to two years (three years in the case of Mr. Legere) and (iv) payment for outplacement services in an amount not to exceed 30% of his base salary. The Global Crossing Limited Key
Management Protection Plan is filed as an exhibit to our 2003 annual report on Form 10-K.



Compensation of Outside Directors



Each director who is not an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries receives cash compensation of $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended in person and $2,500 for each such meeting attended
telephonically. Each director who is not an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries also receives cash compensation for attendance at each meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors of which he or she is a member, $2,500 for each meeting
attended in person and $1,250 for each such meeting attended telephonically. Executive Committee members, whether or not they are directors of the Company, receive fees consistent with those received by committee members, as described above.



In addition, each non-employee director, each non-employee
chairman of a board committee and the members of the Government Security Committee also receive annual retainers in accordance with the following schedule:



Board Chairman Retainer$100,000

Board
Vice Chairman Retainer$75,000

GLOBAL CROSSING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES



REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

GLOBAL CROSSING LIMITED



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Global
Crossing Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2003 (Successor Company balance sheet) and 2002 (Predecessor Company balance sheet), and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income
(loss), stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 (Successor Company operations), for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001 (Predecessor Company operations). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on December 26, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the plan of reorganization, as amended, which became effective on December 9,
2003. Similarly, on January 3, 2003, the Bermuda Court sanctioned the Schemes (the Bermuda equivalent to confirmation), and the Schemes became effective on December 9, 2003. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting for Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code, for the Successor Company as a new entity with assets, liabilities, and a capital structure having carrying
values not comparable with prior periods as described in Note 4.



In our opinion, the Successor Company consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
period from December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, in our opinion, the Predecessor Company consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Predecessor Company as of December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



As discussed in Note 2, the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and for the periods from December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and
from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 have been restated to reflect adjustments related to the Companys cost of access liabilities and cost of access expenses. In addition, the Company has updated its liquidity disclosure in Note 33 -
State of Liquidity.



We have also audited Schedule II
for the period from December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 (Successor Company operations), for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (Predecessor Company operations). In our opinion, this
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information therein.

the date is October 8, 2004)

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 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. Through its Global Marine Systems Limited (GMS) subsidiary, the Company also provides installation and maintenance services
for subsea telecommunications systems. Refer to Note 31 for more information on the Companys results by segment.



Since the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company has reduced the amount of cash required to fund its operations. Nonetheless, the Companys unrestricted
cash balances have continued to decline due primarily to ongoing operating losses, severance payments, settlement payments to vendors and significant costs incurred in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings, including professional fees, real
estate restructuring and retention plan costs.



As of December
31, 2003, the Company had $290 in unrestricted cash. The Company expects its available liquidity to substantially decline in 2004 due to operating cash flow requirements and Plan of Reorganization related payments in 2004 of $128 million for
deferred reorganization costs, and $30 for the final fees and expenses of retained professionals under the bankruptcy case. Management currently expects that the Company will need to obtain up to $100 in financing to fund the Companys
anticipated liquidity requirements through the end of 2004. The Company is currently seeking to arrange a working capital facility or other financing to provide the Company with this necessary liquidity. The indenture for the $200 of senior secured
notes (the New Senior Secured Notes) issued on the Effective Date (see Note 14) permits the Company to incur up to $150 principal amount in additional debt under one or more working capital facilities secured by first priority liens on
the Companys assets. However, it is likely that amendments to the indenture will be required by lenders as a condition to their willingness to provide financing. If the Company cannot arrange a working capital facility or raise other
financing, Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd (ST Telemedia), the majority investor and parent of the current holder of the New Senior Secured Notes, has indicated its intention to provide the Company with up to $100 of financial
support to fund the Companys operating needs on such terms and conditions as the Company and ST Telemedia may agree. ST Telemedias intention is based on the Companys commitment to

adhere to an operating plan requiring no more than $100 in additional funds in 2004. If provided, this financial support could be in the form of (1) a
guarantee or other support by ST Telemedia in respect of borrowings by the Company under a working capital facility or other financing or (2) a subordinated loan from ST Telemedia. The indenture for the Senior Secured Notes does not permit ST
Telemedia to lend to the Company directly on a secured or senior basis. While ST Telemedia has indicated its intention to provide financial support to the Company and management expects ST Telemedia to make such financial support available, ST
Telemedia does not have any contractual obligation to provide financial support to the Company, and the Company can provide no assurance that ST Telemedia will provide any such financial support.



Based on current projections, the Company expects to need to raise
significant additional financing to fund the Companys anticipated liquidity needs beyond 2004.



GMS has experienced significant declines in revenues since 2001 and is expected to experience negative cash flows in 2004. GMS expects to be in default
under one financial ratio covenant under two agreements, a capital lease and a ship charter as of June 30, 2004 and in default under a second such financial ratio covenant as of the end of 2004. GMS is in discussions with the counterparties to these
agreements to address the expected breaches of such financial covenants, and is discussing with its other principal ship charter creditors a possible restructuring of the payment schedules under its agreements with such creditors. If GMS is
unsuccessful in these efforts, these parties could terminate such agreements and accelerate GMSs required payments there under. Such an action would trigger cross-default provisions in GMSs other ship charters and capital lease
obligations, as well as the cross-default provisions under the indenture for the $200 of senior secured notes (the New Senior Secured Notes) issued on the Effective Date and other financing agreements of ours which could accelerate the
Companys repayment of indebtedness (See Note 33).



See
Note 33 for updated disclosure regarding the state of the Companys liquidity.



2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Cost of access is the Companys single largest expense. The Company records access expense as services are provided by vendors, rather than upon receipt of invoices. Access costs 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 arms length third party access provider contracts and/or tariff rates obtained from industry
data sources. A reconciliation of North American cost of access charges at the individual invoice level is impracticable given the magnitude of invoices (particularly manual invoices), the incompatibility of vendor billing information with the
Companys cost of access estimation systems, and the high frequency of disputed charges. The Company therefore uses procedures to validate the cost of access accrual established by its North American cost of access estimation systems, including
an aggregate true-up to actual cash payments made to access providers. However, 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.
Further complexity results from the combination of 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 databases, particularly regarding line ownership information, and the receipt of multiple invoices from the same vendor. As a result, the recognition of access costs represents a significant management estimate that is
imprecise and may differ from the actual costs for the relevant periods when they are finally settled in the ordinary course of business. However, the Company believes that its improved cost of access expense estimation and accrual validation
processes allow it to establish appropriate reserves for its accrued cost of access liabilities and that any such difference will therefore be immaterial.



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 about the adequacy of the Companys

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

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



accrued cost of access liabilities. Thereafter, the Company engaged in a process to evaluate and quantify any potential cost of access adjustments. Upon
review, including the development of new reports and tools to enable the Company to prepare an aggregate true-up to actual cash payments made to access providers after December 31, 2003 in respect of access services provided prior to
that date, the Company concluded that its December 31, 2003 accrued cost of access liabilities were understated.



The Company originally believed that the cost of access adjustment necessitated a restatement of prior period financial statements. However, following
discussions with its predecessor independent accountants, Grant Thornton LLP (Grant Thornton), and with FTI Consulting Inc. (FTI), a professional consultant on accounting matters engaged to provide advice regarding the
appropriate accounting treatment for the adjustment, the Company determined in late July 2004 that the appropriate accounting treatment was as a change in estimate under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes
(APBO No. 20) that should be taken as a charge in the first quarter of 2004. Before arriving at this determination, the Company also considered the position of its current independent accountants, Ernst & Young LLP
(E&Y), which were of the view that the adjustment should be accounted for as the correction of an error requiring the restatement of previously reported financial statements. Upon reaching its decision, the Company determined that a
request to the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) concerning the appropriate accounting treatment for the adjustment should be made before it issued any financial statements reflecting a change in estimate (or any
other) conclusion or made any related filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Company has since consulted with the Staff of the SEC regarding the appropriate accounting treatment.



After careful analysis and deliberation, the Company has concluded that
treatment of this adjustment as the correction of an error under APBO No. 20 is the appropriate accounting treatment and, as such, the Company has restated its previously reported financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
Companys view, with which Grant Thornton, FTI, E&Y and the Audit Committee concur, is that issues related to internal control over financial reporting relating to cost of access accounting in North Americain particular the failure to
make use of available information to conduct an aggregate true-up to actual cash payments made to access providers - in the aggregate constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting within the meaning of
Auditing Standard No. 2 adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. This material weakness resulted in an adjustment which constituted the correction of an error under APBO No. 20 requiring a restatement of 2003 financial statements.



On September 15, 2004, Grant Thornton advised the
Companys Audit Committee that it could no longer rely on representations made by a senior officer in the Companys finance department and that it therefore required the performance of additional procedures and additional support for the
representations to be given by management to Grant Thornton in connection with the issuance of Grant Thorntons audit report. The officer was reassigned to a position outside of the Companys financial reporting function on September 20,
2004 and the Company engaged FTI to assist the Company in performing the additional procedures and providing additional support for managements representations to Grant Thornton.



The Company has confirmed, through a rebuilding of historical cost of access accruals using aggregate vendor invoiced
amounts and actual cash payment data in respect of the relevant time periods, that the required adjustment to cost of access operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 aggregated $67. In addition, there is a separate adjustment for a
$12 balance sheet reclassification at December 10, 2003 related to certain pre-petition settlements with access providers that were incorrectly applied to post-petition cost of access

liability accounts and due to certain cost of access liability amounts that were incorrectly eliminated in fresh start accounting. No adjustment in respect
of such accruals is required for periods prior to January 1, 2003.



The Company examined the cost of access adjustment to determine the principal contributing factors that caused the Company to underestimate its cost of access expenses. The root causes identified by the Company included inaccuracies in
third party, industry standard rating databases used to estimate the rates associated with minutes purchased by the Company from access vendors, the impact of changing traffic routing practices of emerging telecommunications industry competitors on
the Companys cost estimation models, the Companys increased reliance on competitive local exchange carriers (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. In addition, due to deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that together constituted a material weakness, including the failure to make use of available information to conduct an
aggregate true-up to actual cash payments made to access providers, the Company did not prevent the underestimation or detect it on a timely basis.



The Company has restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and for the periods January 1, 2003 to
December 9, 2003 and December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003. The restatement results in (i) an increase in the cost of access liabilities of $79 from $150
to $229 as of December 31, 2003; (ii) an increase in cost of access expense of $2 for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, resulting in an increase in the operating loss for this period from $(8) to $(10) and an increase in the net
loss from $(9) to $(11) for this period; and (iii) an increase in cost of access expense of $65 for the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, resulting in an increase in the operating loss for this period from $(133) to $(198) and an increase
in the net loss excluding gains on emergence from bankruptcy from $(230) to $(295). As indicated above, included in the $79 adjustment to the cost of access liabilities at December 31, 2003 is an adjustment for a $12 balance sheet reclassification.



The cost of access adjustments described above have no impact
on cash balances for any historical period. However, the Companys consolidated statements of cash flows have been restated to reflect the impact of the adjustments, which result in changes in individual components of cash used in operating
activities. These individual impacts offset each other such that there is no net change in cash used in operating activities.



The following tables set forth the effect of the restatement on the Companys consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, the consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and for the period from January 1, 2003 and December 9, 2003. The Company has also restated its previously issued condensed consolidated financial
statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003 and its previously issued December 9, 2003 balance sheet. See Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements.

3. REORGANIZATION



Commencement of the Chapter 11 and Bermuda Cases



On January 28, 2002 (the Commencement Date), Old GCL and
fifty-four of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court).



On the same date, Old GCL and certain of its Bermuda subsidiaries commenced
insolvency proceedings in the Supreme Court of Bermuda (the Bermuda Court). On such date, the Bermuda Court granted an order appointing Malcolm Butterfield, Jane Moriarty and Philip Wallace, partners of KPMG, as Joint Provisional

Liquidators (JPLs) in respect of Old GCL and those Bermuda subsidiaries. The Bermuda Court granted the JPLs the power to oversee the continuation
and reorganization of these companies businesses under the control of their boards of directors and under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court and the Bermuda Court. Twenty-five additional subsidiaries of Old GCL subsequently commenced
chapter 11 cases and, where applicable, Bermuda insolvency proceedings under the supervision of the JPLs to coordinate the restructuring of those companies with the restructuring of Old GCL.



The Purchase Agreement



After extensive negotiations with Hutchison Telecommunications
(Hutchison) and ST Telemedia, an agreement in principle was reached leading to the execution of a definitive Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2002, among Old GCL, Global Crossing Holdings Ltd. (GCHL), the JPLs,
Hutchison, and ST Telemedia (the Purchase Agreement) for the purchase of substantially all of the Companys assets. The Bankruptcy Court approved the Purchase Agreement on August 9, 2002.



Under the Purchase Agreement, Hutchison and ST Telemedia agreed to invest a
total of $250 for a 61.5 percent equity interest in New GCL, a newly formed Bermuda company, upon the Companys emergence from bankruptcy. On April 30, 2003, Hutchison withdrew from the Purchase Agreement and ST Telemedia exercised its purchase
option under the Purchase Agreement to assume all of Hutchisons rights and obligations thereunder. At emergence, Old GCL transferred substantially all of its assets (including stock in subsidiaries) to New GCL. New GCL thereby became the
parent company of Old GCLs subsidiaries and succeeded to Old GCLs reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. However, New GCL and its subsidiaries did not assume any liabilities of the GC Debtors other than the assumed liabilities,
which are generally defined in the Plan of Reorganization to include the following: (i) ordinary course administrative expense claims, (ii) priority tax claims, (iii) certain secured claims, (iv) obligations under agreements assumed by the GC
Debtors in their chapter 11 cases and (v) obligations under the Purchase Agreement.



The Purchase Agreement also sets forth the basic terms of a restructuring with the Companys banks and unsecured creditors. In summary, those parties were to receive common shares representing 38.5 percent of the
equity in New GCL and approximately $328 in cash, $221 million in cash payments beyond the Effective Date under agreed upon payout terms and $200 in New Senior Secured Notes. However, pursuant to an amendment to the plan of reorganization approved
by the Bankruptcy Court on December 4, 2003, the New Senior Secured Notes were issued to ST Telemedia for gross proceeds of $200 in cash, all of which gross proceeds were distributed to the Companys banks and unsecured creditors, increasing
their total cash recovery to approximately $749 but eliminating their previously contemplated interest in the New Senior Secured Notes.



The Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and Bermuda Schemes of Arrangement



On September 16, 2002, Old GCL filed a chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and accompanying disclosure statement (as amended,
the Disclosure Statement) with the Bankruptcy Court. On October 17, 2002, Old GCL filed an amended Plan of Reorganization and amended Disclosure Statement. The Plan of Reorganization implemented the terms of the Purchase Agreement with
respect to the chapter 11 cases. The terms of the Plan of Reorganization are described in more detail below. On October 21, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Disclosure Statement and related voting procedures. On October 28, 2002, the
Predecessor commenced solicitation of acceptances and rejections of the Plan of Reorganization.



On October 24, 2002, Old GCL and each of the other GC Debtors incorporated in Bermuda were granted approval by the Bermuda Court to hold meetings of their
creditors for the purpose of considering and voting on

schemes of arrangement (the Schemes). The Schemes implemented the terms of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Bermuda cases, essentially
by incorporating the terms of the Plan of Reorganization. The meetings of creditors to consider and vote on the Schemes were held in Bermuda on November 25 and 28, 2002.



On December 17, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan of Reorganization, subject to the entry of a formal
confirmation order and documentation of the resolution of any outstanding objections. On December 26, 2002, the conditions specified by the Bankruptcy Court on December 17, 2002 were met and as a result the Bankruptcy Court entered the order
confirming the Plan of Reorganization. Similarly, on January 3, 2003, the Bermuda Court sanctioned the Schemes (the Bermuda equivalent to confirmation).



Effect of the Plan of Reorganization and Schemes of Arrangement and Distributions Thereunder



The Plan of Reorganization governs the treatment of claims against and interests in each of the GC Debtors. Upon
consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, all pre-petition claims against and interests in each of the GC Debtors (other than interests and certain claims held by the Company) were discharged and terminated. Creditors of the GC Debtors received
the following distributions under the plan:



| |  | Holders of administrative expense claims (post-petition claims relating to actual and necessary costs of administering the bankruptcy estates and operating the businesses of the GC
Debtors) and priority claims (principally taxes and claims for pre-petition wages and employee benefit plan contributions) will eventually be generally paid in full in cash.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Holders of certain secured claims were paid in full in cash or had their debt reinstated or collateral returned.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The remaining pre-petition creditors received in the aggregate a combination of 38.5% of the equity in New GCL, approximately $528 in cash, $221 million in cash payments beyond the
Effective Date under agreed upon payout terms and the entire beneficial interest in the liquidating trust described below.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Holders of Old GCL common and preferred shares, including all stock options and warrants, did not receive any distribution under the plan.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Holders of preferred shares of GCHL, a direct subsidiary of Old GCL whose assets were transferred to New GCL and its subsidiaries pursuant to the plan, did not receive any
distribution under the plan.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The GC
Debtors bankruptcy proceedings in general, and the Plan of Reorganization in particular, have had and will have many other important consequences for the Company. For example, many of the executory contracts and leases of the GC Debtors have
been rejected in the bankruptcy process, significantly decreasing the Companys contractual obligations going forward. In addition, upon consummation of the plan, the GC Debtors transferred to a liquidating trust, established for the benefit of
the creditors, approximately $7 in cash (not included in the cash amount above) and certain of the GC Debtors rights, credits, claims and causes of action for preferences, fraudulent transfers and other causes of action and rights to setoff.



4. 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. 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.

5. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



A summary of the basis of presentation and the significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements is
as follows:



Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates



These consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the 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.



As discussed in Note 3, Old GCL and certain subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor have also been prepared in accordance with SOP 90-7, which requires an entity to distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from post petition liabilities on its
balance sheet. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, the caption liabilities subject to compromise reflected the Companys best estimate of the amount of pre-petition claims that would be restructured in the GC
Debtors chapter 11 cases. In addition, 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 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.



The Companys emergence from bankruptcy resulted in a new reporting entity with no retained earnings or accumulated losses as of December 9, 2003.
Accordingly, the Companys consolidated financial statements for periods prior to December 9, 2003 are not comparable to financial statements on or subsequent to December 9, 2003. The 2003 results have been presented separately under
Successor for the 22-day period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and Predecessor for periods prior to December 9, 2003 as required by SOP 90-7.



Principles of Consolidation



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New GCL and Old GCL and their wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



Under U.S. GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of an investee, except when control is not held by the majority owner. Under these same rules, legal reorganization or
bankruptcy represent conditions which can preclude consolidation in instances where control rests with the bankruptcy court, rather than with the majority owner. As discussed in Note 8, during the year ended December 31, 2002 Asia Global Crossing
Ltd. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, AGC) and Pacific Crossing Limited (PCL) filed for voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the chapter 11 petitions, the Companys
ability to exert control and exercise influence over AGCs and PCLs management decisions through its equity interest was substantially eliminated. Furthermore the nature of the reorganization plans of AGC and PCL were such that the
Company no longer had access to or a continuing involvement in the businesses of AGC and PCL. As a result, AGCs and PCLs financial results are included as discontinued operations for all periods presented.



Revenue Recognition



Services



Revenue derived from telecommunication and maintenance services, including
sales of capacity under operating-type leases, are recognized as services are provided. Payments received from customers before the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are included in deferred revenue in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.



Operating Leases



The Company offers customers flexible bandwidth products
to multiple destinations and many of the Companys contracts for subsea circuits are entered into as part of a service offering. Consequently, the Company defers revenue related to those circuits and amortizes the revenue over the appropriate
term of the contract. Accordingly, the Company treats cash received prior to the completion of the earnings process as deferred revenue.



Percentage-of-Completion



Revenue and estimated profits under long-term contracts for undersea telecommunication installation by GMS 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. For the periods December 10 to December 31, 2003 and January 1 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, $8, $34, $68, and $364, respectively, was
recognized as revenue using the percentage-of-completion method. Costs related to the percentage-of-completion revenues for the same periods were $2, $52, $97, and $311 respectively.



Telecom Installation Revenue



In accordance with 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) the Company amortizes revenue related to installation services over the longer of the contract period or average expected customer
relationship (2 years).



Non-Monetary Transactions



The Company may exchange capacity with other capacity or
service providers. These transactions are accounted for in accordance with APB No. 29 Accounting for Non Monetary Transactions (APB No. 29), where an exchange for similar capacity is recorded at a historical carryover basis
and dissimilar capacity is accounted for at fair market value with recognition of any gain or loss. On August 2, 2002, the SEC staff communicated its position on indefeasible rights of use (IRU) capacity swaps to the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) SEC Regulations Committee. The SEC staff has concluded that all IRU capacity swaps consisting of the exchange of leases should be evaluated within paragraph 21 of APB No. 29. That is, if a swap
involves leases that transfer the right to use similar productive assets, the exchange should be treated as the exchange of similar productive assets irrespective of whether the outbound lease is classified as a sale-type lease, direct
financing lease or operating lease and irrespective of whether the inbound lease is classified as a capital lease or an operating lease. The SEC staff directed that in accounting for such transactions the carrying value rather than the
fair market value should be used. The SEC staff further directed registrants to apply this guidance historically and prospectively, and to restate prior financial statements if appropriate. All adjustments that the Company considers are necessary to
comply with the SECs guidance have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the related notes. There were no material gains or losses from non-monetary transactions for the periods December 10 to December 31,
2003 and January 1 to December 9, 2003 or the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.



Operating Expenses



Cost
of Access



Background



The Companys 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 the Companys single largest expense, amounting to approximately 72% of
telecommunications services segment revenue in 2003, which segment represented approximately 94% of consolidated revenue in 2003.



As a result of a review the Company initiated in April 2004, the Company determined that there was a material weakness in its internal control over
financial reporting related to cost of access accounting in its 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 the Companys 2003 financial statements included herein. A description of this weakness and
the remediation measures that have been and are being undertaken by the Company is set forth in Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of this annual report on Form 10-K/A.



Set forth below is a summary of the Companys current policy and procedures regarding cost of access accounting after
giving effect to changes made in light of the Companys 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 the Companys
underlying cost of access expense estimation processes in North America. The overall design of the Companys 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



The Companys 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. The Company makes a preliminary estimate of monthly access costs incurred based on this information. The Company then adjusts 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 the Companys preliminary estimate is referred to in this annual report on Form 10-K/A 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 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 the Companys total access charges were incurred in 2003. Thus, the Companys 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, the Company believes that it has now established appropriate reserves
for its accrued cost of access liabilities.



Principal
Estimation Systems



For switched voice traffic, each month
the minutes recorded by the Companys 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. The Company 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

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



For leased lines, each month the expense is calculated based on the number of circuits and the
average circuit costs, according to the Companys leased line inventory system, adjusted for contracted rate changes. The Companys 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 the Companys circuit inventory due to customer acquisitions and disconnections. An outside service provider assists the Company in maintaining and managing
the Companys circuit inventory.



The Company monitors the
accuracy of its systems to measure network volumes and track circuits, and the Companys rate tables are updated frequently to maintain the accuracy of the rate structure the Company has with its access providers and per the current regulated
tariff rates.



Accounting Entries for Cost of Access



The initial expenses estimated by the Companys cost
of access systems are expensed each month in the Companys 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 the Companys cost of access estimation systems, and the high frequency of disputed charges. The Company therefore use procedures designed to validate the cost of
access accrual established by the Companys 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 the Companys financial
systems; a comparison, by type of expense (e.g., domestic or international MOUs), of the expense estimates produced by the Companys 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 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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. The Company believes that the improved cost of access expense estimation and accrual validation processes allow the Company to
establish appropriate reserves for the Companys accrued cost of access liabilities and that any such change in estimate adjustments will therefore be immaterial.

Disputes



The Company performs 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 the Company discovers a bill that appears to contain possible inaccuracies in rate
or volume data, the Company records 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 the Company ultimately reaches an agreement with an access vendor in which the Company settles a disputed amount for less than the corresponding accrual, the Company recognizes 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.
The Company generally withholds payments on all amounts subject to dispute until the dispute is settled.



Operating Leases



Costs of the network relating to capacity contracts accounted for as operating leases are treated as prepaid capacity in other current assets and prepaid
costs and other assets and, accordingly, are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease and the estimated useful life of the capacity.



Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents (Current and Long-Term)



The Company considers cash in banks and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash balances at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $21 and $332, respectively. The
December 31, 2003, and 2002 balances include, but are not limited to, various rental guarantees, performance bonds, or amounts arising from vendor or customer disputes. In addition, the December 31, 2002 balance mainly reflects an escrow account
with the proceeds from the Companys sale of IPC Information Systems (IPC) on December 20, 2001 and funds in an account under the control of the JPLs in Bermuda, which amounted to $309 and $13, respectively, as of the Effective Date
and were distributed to the creditors on the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization. Included in long-term other assets at December 31, 2003 and 2002 is restricted cash of approximately $6 and $5, respectively,
which serves as collateral on letters of credit and bank guarantees.



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Credits



The Company provides for allowances for doubtful accounts and sales credits. Allowances for doubtful accounts are charged to other operating expenses, while allowances for sales credits are charged to revenue. The
adequacy of the reserves is evaluated monthly by the Company utilizing several factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, changes in the customers credit worthiness, the customers payment history, the length of
the customers relationship with the Company, 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 performed on most accounts utilizing the factors previously mentioned. Service level requirements are assessed to determine sales credit requirements where necessary. The Company has historically experienced significant changes
month-to-month in reserve level requirements,

primarily due to unanticipated large customer bankruptcy filings or other insolvency proceedings. Allowances were $124 and $134 as of December 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively. Changes in the financial viability of significant customers, worsening of economic conditions and changes in the Companys ability to meet service level requirements may require changes to its estimate of the recoverability
of the receivables. Appropriate adjustments will be recorded in the period in which these changes become known.



Property and Equipment, net



Property and equipment, which includes amounts under capitalized leases, are stated at their preliminary estimated fair values as of the Effective Date as
determined by the Companys reorganization value. Major enhancements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Costs incurred prior to the capital projects completion are reflected as
construction in progress, which is reclassified to property and equipment at the date the project is complete.



The Company capitalizes third party line installation costs incurred by the Company for new facilities and connections from the Global Crossing network to
networks of other carriers in order to provision customer orders. The costs are capitalized to prepaid costs (current portionsee Note 10) and other assets (long-term portion) and amortized using the straight-line method into depreciation and
amortization over the longer of the contract period or average expected customer relationship (2 years) in accordance with the provisions of SAB 101, as amended by SAB 104. Internal costs, including labor, incurred in the provisioning of customer
orders are expensed as incurred.



Depreciation is provided on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, with the exception of leasehold improvements and assets acquired through capital leases, which are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease.



Estimated economic useful lives of the Companys property
and equipment are as follows:



|                                  |  |                                           |  |

When property or
equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be relieved from the accounts, and resulting gains or losses will be reflected in net income (loss).



In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (SFAS No. 144), the Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset. The amount of any impairment then recognized would
be calculated as the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset.

Computer Software Costs



The Company capitalizes the cost of internal-use software which has a useful life in excess of one year in accordance with
Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internal-use software are capitalized only to the extent that they
allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Capitalized computer software costs are amortized using the straight-line method over
a period of between 3 to 5 years.



Intangibles



Intangibles consist primarily of customer relationships, trademarks,
internally developed software and goodwill, primarily attributable to the assembled work force. The preliminary fair values attributable to the identified intangibles were based on a number of significant assumptions as determined by the Company and
its independent appraisal expert. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives will be amortized under the straight-line method over their applicable preliminary estimated useful lives, estimated by the Company to be between 6 to 7 years (see
Note 12).



Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), which provides, among other things, that goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually
(beginning with the first anniversary of the acquisition date). The adoption of SFAS No. 142 had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



Impairment of Long-Lived Assets



As required under the provisions of SFAS No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
(SFAS No. 121), the Company periodically reviews long-lived assets composed of property and equipment, goodwill, other intangibles and other assets held for a period longer than a year, whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset(s) may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair
value less cost to sell.



Effective January 1, 2002, the
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, which supercedes SFAS No. 121 and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets, while retaining the fundamental recognition and measurement for determining
impairment for long-lived assets to be held and used. SFAS No. 144 requires that a long-lived asset to be abandoned, exchanged for a similar productive asset or distributed to owners in a spin-off is to be considered held and used until it is
disposed of. However, SFAS No. 144 requires that management consider revising the depreciable life of such long-lived asset. With respect to long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, SFAS No. 144 retains the provisions of SFAS No. 121 and,
therefore, requires that discontinued operations no longer be measured on a net realizable value basis and that future operating losses associated with such discontinued operations no longer be recognized before they occur. The adoption of SFAS No.
144 did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



During the year ended December 31, 2001, long-lived tangible and intangible asset impairments of $17,181 were recorded to continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Additional

long-lived asset impairments of $2,399 were recorded to discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2001. These impairment charges were
recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 121. Amortization expense of goodwill and other intangibles, prior to the write-off during the year ended December 31, 2001, amounted to $580 for the year ended December 31, 2001.



The Company adopted fresh start accounting, in accordance with SOP 90-7, upon
its emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, which resulted in a change in the value of long-lived assets in Successor.



Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures



The Company maintains several equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, which are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets and were $12, and $53 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The preliminary fair value of these investments was determined on the Effective Date by the Company through an allocation of the reorganization value similar to the
methodology used in determining the fair value of property and equipment and intangibles. The Companys independent appraisal experts assisted in these efforts. The equity method of accounting is applied for investments in unconsolidated joint
ventures if the Company owns an aggregate of 20% to 50% of the joint venture and if the Company exercises significant influence over the joint venture.



Investments



Marketable Securities



Investments in which the Company does not have significant influence and in which the Company holds an ownership interest of less than 20% are recorded
using the cost method of accounting. These investments, covered under the scope of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, are classified as available for sale and are reported at
estimated fair value with any unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) included in other shareholders equity. The Company reviews the fair value of its investment
portfolio on a regular basis to determine if the fair value of any individual investment has declined below its cost and if such decline is other-than-temporary. The Company generally considers a decline to be other-than-temporary if the fair value
of the investment has remained below its cost basis for more than six months. If the Company concludes that the market value of an investment is other-than-temporary, the Company records a charge to the consolidated statement of operations to reduce
the carrying value of the security to its estimated fair value. The table below discloses the realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities and losses from the write down of marketable securities included in the statements of
operations for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Impairment of equity investments



The Company has invested in the equity instruments of certain unconsolidated entities. The Company periodically reviews its
investments under the provisions of APB No. 18 The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock whenever there is an indication that fair value is less than cost and the decline in value is determined to be
other-than-temporary. Evidence of an other than temporary decline in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an
earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. When the decline in value is judged to be other-than-temporary, the basis of the security is written down to fair value and the resulting loss is charged to equity in income
(loss) of affiliates, net, a component of other income, net, in the statement of operations. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a $114 write-down of an equity investment held in a Latin America, which is included in equity in income
(loss) of affiliates, net in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001. In addition, an impairment of $450 was recorded to discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2001 relating to AGCs
investment in Hutchison Global Crossing (HGC).



Deferred
Finance Costs



Successor:



Costs incurred to obtain financing through the issuance of the New Senior
Secured Notes have been reflected as an asset included in other assets in the accompanying December 31, 2003 consolidated balance sheet. The financing costs relating to the debt will be amortized to interest expense over the lesser of
the term of the New Senior Secured Notes or the expected payment date of the debt obligation using the effective interest rate method.



Predecessor:



On the Commencement Date, in accordance with SOP 90-7, the Company wrote off all deferred finance costs and discounts ($102) related to debt as a
component of reorganization items (see Note 23).



Restructuring



The Company initiated a restructuring program
commencing in August 2001 which has continued through December 31, 2003. The components of the restructuring liability (see Note 7) represent direct costs of exiting lease commitments for certain real estate facility locations and employee
termination costs, along with certain other costs associated with approved restructuring plans. These were recorded in accordance with EITF 94-3 Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (EITF 94-3) through January 1, 2003, when the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities (SFAS No. 146), which requires that costs, including severance costs, associated with exit or disposal activities be recorded at their fair value when a liability has been incurred. Under EITF 94-3, certain exit costs,
including severance costs, were accrued upon managements commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before the exit activity has occurred. The Company has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 146 to any exit or disposal activities initiated
after December 31, 2002. The liability as of the Effective Date represents the Companys best estimate of undiscounted liabilities at the date the charges were taken. Adjustments for changes in assumptions are recorded in the period such
changes become known. Changes in assumptions, 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.

Derivative Instruments



Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be measured at fair value and recognized as either assets or liabilities in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of derivative
instruments that do not qualify as hedges and/or any ineffective portion of hedges are recognized as a gain or loss in the Companys consolidated statement of operations in the current period. Changes in the fair values of the derivative
instruments used effectively as fair value hedges are recognized in income (losses), along with the change in the value of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of the effective portions of cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive
income (loss) and recognized in income (losses) when the hedged item is recognized in income (losses) (see Note 27).



The Company has entered into forward currency contracts, hedging the exchange risk on committed foreign currency transactions. During 2001, the gains and
losses on these contracts were recognized at the time the underlying transactions were completed. The Company did not enter into any forward currency contracts during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 as a result of constraints while in
bankruptcy.



The Companys interest rate hedges were
terminated during 2002 (see Note 27).



Fair Value of Financial
Instruments



The Company does not enter into financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The carrying amounts of financial instruments classified as current assets and liabilities, other than marketable securities, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. Short term
investments and debt with controlling shareholder are carried at their estimated fair values. Fair values are based on market quotes, current interest rates or management estimates, as appropriate (see Note 28).



Asset Retirement Obligations



Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143 Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations, (SFAS No. 143). SFAS No. 143 recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. If
a reasonable estimate of fair value cannot be made in the period the asset retirement obligation is incurred, SFAS No. 143 requires the liability to be recognized when a reasonable estimate of the fair value can be made. The associated asset
retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the life of the associated fixed asset. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position
and results of operations for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003.



Income Taxes



The provision for income taxes, income taxes payable and deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse. A
valuation allowance is provided when the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset balance will not be realized. Provision for income taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries is made only
on those amounts in excess of the funds considered to be permanently reinvested (see Note 22).

Effect of Foreign Currencies



For those subsidiaries using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, translation adjustments are recorded in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense
transactions are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly to a separate component of shareholders equity (deficit) and are reflected in the accompanying consolidated
statements of comprehensive income (loss). Translation differences resulting from the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents were immaterial and are not reflected separately in the Companys consolidated statements of cash
flows for each of the periods presented.



The Companys
foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, were $2, $15, $(26), and $(21), respectively.



Income (Loss) Per Common Share



Basic
earnings (loss) per common share (EPS) is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net income (loss) applicable to common
stockholders includes preferred stock dividends for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
common stock (see Note 24).



Stock-Based Compensation



On January 1, 2003, Predecessor adopted SFAS No. 148, Accounting
for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148). SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123) to provide alternative methods of
transition to SFAS No. 123s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require
disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. While SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for employee stock
options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No.
123 or the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.



On December 9, 2003, Successor adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 related to stock option awards granted or modified on December 9, 2003 and
thereafter. The impact on Successors stock compensation expense recognized in 2003 relating to the 2003 stock option awards (see Note 25) was an expense of approximately $1, included in Successors net loss for the period December 10 to
December 31, 2003.

Had compensation expense been determined and recorded based upon the fair-value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123 for stock option awards granted prior to December 9, 2003, net income (loss) and income (loss) per share would have been the following pro forma amounts:

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



The weighted-average fair values of options granted on December 9, 2003 and for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $28.65 and $7.28, respectively.
There were no stock options granted for the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002. The fair value of each option grant is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions. The Company recognizes stock compensation expense based on the number of awards expected to vest. Most option awards have graded vesting (i.e., portions of the award vest at different dates during the vesting
period). The fair value of such awards is determined using a single expected life for the entire award (the average expected life for the portions of the award that vest on different dates.) The Company has elected to recognize the related
compensation cost of such awards on a straight-line basis; provided that the amount amortized as of a given date may be no less than the portion of the options vested as of such date. As New GCL did not have a historical basis for determining the
volatility and expected life assumptions in the model due to the Companys short market trading history, the assumptions used is an average of those used by a select group of telecommunications companies.

Concentration of Credit Risk



The Company has some concentration of credit risk among its customer base. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its larger customers financial condition. The Company establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers, historical trends and other relevant information. As of December 31, 2003
and 2002, no one customer accounted for more than 9% and 5% of the Companys accounts receivable, net, respectively. On January 9, 2004 the accounts receivable that accounted for 9% of the Companys accounts receivable, net as of December
31, 2003 was collected in full. For the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, no one customer accounted for more than 3%, 3%, 3% and 6%,
respectively, of the Companys revenue.



Extinguishment of Deferred
Revenue Obligations



The Company enters into
agreements with its customers that may result in the receipt of non-refundable cash before the relevant criteria for revenue recognition have been satisfied and as a result a liability is recorded as deferred revenue.



During the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the year ended
December 31, 2002, certain long-term and prepaid lease agreements for services on the Companys network were terminated either through customer settlement agreements or through the bankruptcy proceedings of the customers that had purchased such
services from the Company. As a result, the Company had no further requirement to provide services and, therefore, the remaining deferred revenue of $32 and $97, respectively, was realized into other income, net in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations as a result of the extinguishment of the liability to provide future services to the applicable customer. The derecognition of these liabilities is in accordance with the guidelines described within SFAS No.
140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilitiesa Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125, and did not result in any revenue recognition by the Company.



Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits



The Company has contributory and non-contributory employee pension plans
available to qualified employees. The Company follows the accounting guidance as specified in SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions, for the recognition of net periodic pension cost.



The Company provides certain health care benefits for qualified employees who
meet age, participation and length of service requirements at retirement age. The Company follows the accounting guidance as specified in SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pension for
recognition of post-retirement benefits (see Note 26).



Advertising Costs



The Company expenses the cost of advertising as
incurred. Advertising expense is included as a component of other operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and aggregated $0, $3, $1 and $32, for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the period
January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)



Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other non-owner related charges in equity not included in net
income (loss), such as unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as available for sale, foreign currency translation adjustments related to foreign subsidiaries and other adjustments.



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, which amends SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entitys accounting policy with respect to stock-based
employee compensation on reported net income (loss) per share in annual and interim financial statements. While SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method of APB
No. 25. The provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002 with respect to the amendments of SFAS No. 123 and effective for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2002 with respect to the amendments of APB No. 28. Predecessor adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 effective January 1, 2003 and utilized APB No. 25 to account for its stock based compensation for the
period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003. Following the Effective Date and the creation of the new reporting entity on December 9, 2003, New GCL adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 to account for its stock based compensation awards and grants.
On the Effective Date, 2,199,000 stock options were granted at an exercise price of $10.16 (see Note 25). The impact on stock compensation expense recognized during the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 relating to this 2003 stock option
award was an expense of approximately $1.



In January 2003, the
FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. A variable
interest entity is defined as an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or as a group the holders of
the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about an entitys activities through voting rights or similar rights,
(2) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur and (3) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31,
2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a
variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. In 2003, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.



In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133
on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 149). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In general, SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging

relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In 2003, the Company did not enter into any derivative or hedging activities and therefore the adoption of this
standard did not impact the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.
(SFAS No. 150). SFAS No. 150 clarifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial
position. Previously, many of those financial instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 resulted in the reclassification of $526 million of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock to liabilities subject to compromise at December 31, 2002. As a result of the
consummation of the Plan of Reorganization on the Effective Date, the liabilities subject to compromise, including the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, were discharged (see Note 4).



In December 2003, the Securities Exchange Commission, issued SAB No. 104,
which codifies, revises and rescinds certain sections of SAB No. 101, in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. In 2003, the changes noted in SAB
No. 104 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.



Reclassifications



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



6. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS



Installation and maintenance segment goodwill and other identifiable
intangibles impairment



On October 4, 2001, in accordance
with the Board of Directors authorization, the Company commenced negotiations to sell substantially all of GMS, the installation and maintenance segment of the Company, and permanently exit the installation and maintenance segment. Based on
these events, the segment was classified as a discontinued operation commencing in the third quarter of 2001. In addition, in the third quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $545 relating to the entire remaining net carrying
value of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles remaining from the Companys acquisition of GMS on July 2, 1999, as these assets would not be realized through the sale of the business, based upon information available at the measurement
date.

Agreement with ST Telemedia contemplated that the Company would retain its non-core businesses previously being evaluated for disposal, including GMS. Therefore, the Company terminated its plans to exit this segment. Accordingly, this segment is no
longer classified as a discontinued operation and the Companys consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to reflect GMS as part of continuing operations for all periods presented. The accounting for discontinued operations
changed on January 1, 2002 as a result of SFAS No. 144; however, the transition rules for SFAS No. 144 provide that the accounting for discontinued operations that arose prior to January 1, 2002 would not have to conform with SFAS No. 144 until
January 1, 2003. Therefore, as the decision to retain the segment occurred during 2002, all amounts have been reclassified into operations as required by EITF Issue No. 90-16 Accounting for Discontinued Operations Subsequently
Retained. See Note 33.

Fourth Quarter 2001 Impairment, Continuing Operations



In the fourth quarter of 2001, a series of events transpired that resulted
in changes in facts and circumstances that indicated to the Company that the net carrying value of its long-lived assets might be impaired. These trigger events included, but were not limited to: the continuing economic slowdown, change
in the leadership of the Company in October 2001 followed by a significant cost reduction and restructuring effort across the entire business, the sale of three businesses by the Company between January 2001 and December 2001 (GlobalCenter, ILEC and
IPC), the change in the business outlook due primarily to the overcapacity in the telecommunications market, negotiations for a waiver from the Companys secured lenders from potential violations of certain financial covenants, and difficulty
in obtaining new revenue to fill the Companys recently completed global network. In addition, the Company signed several non-disclosure arrangements with several potential investors during the fourth quarter of 2001. In the strategic
discussions with the potential investors, it was evident that the value they were attributing to the Companys business was below the existing net carrying value of the assets held.



In addition, the Company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 28, 2002 and signed a letter of intent to be
acquired by Hutchison and ST Telemedia. Negotiations continued with Hutchison and ST Telemedia until an agreement was reached on August 9, 2002 (as amended in May 2003 to provide for ST Telemedia as the sole acquirersee Note 3) to sell 61.5%
of New GCLs equity for $250. These events and the capital structure contemplated for the Companys planned reorganization also demonstrated impairments in the Companys long-lived asset carrying values.



Due to these events the Company conducted an undiscounted cash flow analysis
as of December 31, 2001, following the finalization of its revised business and financial plans for 2002 and beyond. The undiscounted cash flows calculated as a result of this revised model were not adequate to support the net carrying amount of
long-lived assets. The fair values, as required by SFAS No. 121, did not consider the value of such assets in a forced sale or liquidation and were based primarily upon discounted estimated future cash flows and comparative market prices. The
assumptions supporting the estimated future cash flows, including the discount rates and estimated terminal values used, reflect managements best available estimates. The discount rate used of 17% was primarily based upon the weighted-average
cost of capital for comparable companies. The discounted cash flows attributable to continuing operations approximated the long-lived asset value inherent in the independently negotiated third party transaction with ST Telemedia. This was important
to the Company in arriving at its conclusions on an appropriate impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2001 as it believed the best indicator of fair value is usually reflected in a third party transaction in which assets are bought or sold
between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.



As a result of the cumulative impact of these facts, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $16,636 for continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2001 in accordance with the guidelines set forth under SFAS No.
121, which resulted in a full write-off of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles ($8,028) and a remaining net carrying value of property and equipment for continuing operations of $1,000, following a tangible asset impairment charge of $8,608.



Fourth Quarter 2001 Impairment, Discontinued Operations



AGC, which is reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods
presented (see Note 8), performed a similar recoverability test on its long lived assets during the fourth quarter of 2001 due to changes in facts and circumstances including poor earnings performance, the continuing economic slowdown, and
overcapacity in the telecommunications market, among other things. In addition, events transpired subsequent to December 31, 2001

that provided further evidence of the impairment event as of December 31, 2001. Specifically, AGC sold its interests in three joint ventures in April of 2002
for $120; PCL, filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2002 and was subsequently approved for sale in June 2003 for $63; and AGC filed for bankruptcy protection in November of 2002 and was subsequently approved for sale in March 2003 for $80.



These events and conditions resulted in AGC and its
subsidiaries, including PCL, conducting an undiscounted cash flow analysis as of December 31, 2001, following the finalization of AGCs revised business and financial plan for 2002 and beyond. The undiscounted cash flows calculated as a result
of this revised model were not adequate to support the net carrying amount of long-lived assets. The discounted cash flows attributable to their operations approximated the long-lived asset value inherent in their independently negotiated third
party transactions.



The Company recorded an impairment charge
during the fourth quarter of 2001 aggregating $2,399 in connection with AGCs long-lived assets. This impairment charge represented the shortfall between the long-lived asset net carrying values from the discounted future cash flow stream and
the estimated long-lived asset fair value in the sales of AGC and its PCL subsidiary. The aggregate impairment charge of $2,399, which is included as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
included the following:



| |  | Full impairment aggregating $100 in goodwill and other identifiable intangibles; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Impairment charge of $2,299 in connection with AGCs tangible net assets, including PCL.

7. RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND RELATED IMPAIRMENTS



In August 2001, the Company announced that due to the duration and severity of the slowdown in the economy and the
telecommunications industry, it would be necessary to reduce operating expenses as well as reduce and reprioritize capital expenditures in an effort to be in a position to benefit when the economy and the telecommunications industry recover. In an
effort to address the Companys lowered profitability, during the year ended December 31, 2001, the Companys Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to effectuate the realignment and integration of the Companys current
regional organizational structure into integrated global functions such as network operations, customer care, information systems, finance, and sales and marketing. The realignment and integration resulted in the elimination of approximately 2,800
positions across a majority of the Companys business functions and job classes, including the Companys installation and maintenance segment, GMS. In addition, as part of the plan, the Company implemented a significant consolidation of
offices and other related real estate facilities. As a result of these initiatives, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $410 during the year ended December 31, 2001. The components of this charge consisted of $71 related to employee
terminations, $270 related to facility closures, and $69 related to various other restructuring items.



On January 28, 2002, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and
subsequently filed the Plan of Reorganization. Throughout 2002, the Company continued its efforts to integrate functions within the Company to increase efficiencies and to reduce costs. As a result of these continued initiatives and adjustments to
the plans adopted in 2001 due to the chapter 11 filing, the Company recorded a net restructuring charge of $95 which was recorded as a reorganization item (see Note 23) during the year ended December 31, 2002. The components of this charge consisted
of $51 related to employee terminations, $51 related to facility closures, and a $(7) release of charges related to various other restructuring items.



During the period January 1 to December 9, 2003, the Company adopted restructuring plans to further integrate certain global functions to more
appropriately align those functional units with regional operating

needs. The company also integrated responsibilities within the network operations, service delivery, and other functions. The Company determined the
integration of these responsibilities would increase efficiency and reduce operating costs. In addition, the Company adopted a restructuring plan to eliminate redundant positions within the installation and maintenance segment of the organization,
significantly modifying the management structure utilized to operate that segment. As a result of these initiatives, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $14 in the period January 1 to December 9, 2003. This charge consists of $13 related
to employee terminations and $1 related to facility closures. In addition, during the period January 1 to December 9, 2003 the Company re-assessed the adequacy of the restructuring liability and determined that an additional $32 would be required
for continuing lease obligations related to surplus facilities included in previously announced restructuring plans. In total, for the period January 1 to December 9, 2003 the Company recorded restructuring charges of $46 which has been recorded as
a reorganization item (see Note 23).



On December 9, 2003, the
Company completed Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and released $105 of subject to compromise liabilities, related to restructuring liabilities, in accordance with SOP 90-7. This consisted of $21 related to stayed post-employment benefits, $75
related to facility lease rejection claims, and $9 related to other restructuring items. As of December 9, 2003, the Company maintained $3 of this employee-related liability as Deferred Reorganization Costs for non-priority payments to 556 former
employees terminated more than 90 days prior to the Companys bankruptcy filing but prior to receipt of their full severance benefit payout. These payments were approved by the Bankruptcy Court in 2002 subject to meeting certain conditions and
paid in December 2003.



The employee-related costs included in
the restructuring charges for the period January 1 to December 9, 2003 and years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $13, $51 and $71, respectively. These were comprised primarily of severance-related payments and outplacement costs for all
employees involuntarily terminated. These charges included $5, $2 and $10 for the period January 1, to December 9, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, of termination-related benefits for employees in the installation
and maintenance segment.



The costs related to facility
closures included in the restructuring charges for the period January 1 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $33, $51 and $270, respectively. In 2001, the $270 of costs are composed of continuing building lease
obligations and estimated decommissioning costs and broker commissions for 130 sites, offset by anticipated third-party sub-lease payments. It also includes impairment charges of $63 related to leasehold improvements and abandoned office equipment
related to these facility closures. In 2002 the net costs related to facility closures are composed of continuing building lease obligations and estimated decommissioning costs and broker commissions for an additional 133 sites, offset by
anticipated third-party sub-lease payments. This includes $3 related to the closure of certain regional offices of the installation and maintenance segment. The initial charge recorded was further reduced by the release of the related reserve for
United States facilities rejected through the chapter 11 bankruptcy process and other sites terminated with the landlords. In 2003, the $33 of costs are primarily comprised of adjustments to the liability resulting from changes in the estimated cash
flows of continuing building lease obligations, estimated decommissioning costs and broker commissions, and anticipated third-party sub-lease payments for previously announced surplus facilities. This includes continuing building lease obligations
and estimated decommissioning costs and broker commissions for 2 additional sites closed due to the functional integrations, offset by anticipated third-party sub-lease payments and costs to relocate equipment from previously identified surplus
sites.



The other costs included in the restructuring charges
for the period January 1 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $0, $(7) and $69, respectively. The 2001 charge comprised primarily a $53 write-off of information systems that the Company would no longer be utilizing
as a result of

system integration. Approximately $7 of the charge was released in 2002 due to a reevaluation of the hardware that could be integrated into other Company
systems. The restructuring charges for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 also include contract termination costs of $1 and $16, respectively.



As of December 31, 2003, 257 sites, consisting of approximately 4.1 million square feet, have been vacated and approximately 5,700 employees have been
terminated as a result of these announced restructuring plans. The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2003 includes continuing severance payments and lease obligations related to the execution of these restructuring plans.



As described in Note 5, effective January 1, 2003 the Company adopted SFAS
No. 146 for any exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.



The table below details the activity of the restructuring reserve in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002:

reserve for Predecessor as of December 31, 2002 includes $103 classified as an other liability in liabilities subject to compromise (see Note 18). The current portion of the restructuring reserve was $32 and $39 as of December 31, 2003
and 2002, respectively.



8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS



Asia Global Crossing (AGC)



On November 17, 2002, Asia Global Crossing Ltd., (AGC) a former
subsidiary of the Company, and one of AGCs wholly owned subsidiaries, Asia Global Crossing Development Company (AGCDC), filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. On the same date, AGC commenced joint
provisional liquidation cases in Bermuda. Similarly, on July 19, 2002, PCL, a majority owned subsidiary of AGC and operator of Pacific Crossing (PC-1), and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under the
Bankruptcy Code. On the same date, PCL commenced joint provisional liquidation cases in Bermuda. AGCs and PCLs bankruptcy cases are being administered separately and were not consolidated with the GC Debtors chapter 11 cases.

As a result of the bankruptcy petitions of AGC and PCL, the Companys ability to exert control
and exercise influence over AGCs and PCLs management decisions through its equity interest was substantially eliminated. Furthermore, the nature of the reorganization plans of AGC and PCL were such that the Company would no longer have
access to or a continuing involvement in the businesses of AGC and PCL. Due to the Companys loss of control and lack of continuing involvement in AGCs and PCLs operations, the Company effectively disposed of its rights and
obligations by abandoning its equity ownership effective on the date of AGCs and PCLs chapter 11 petitions. AGC and PCL have been accounted for as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 144. As a
result of the abandonment, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $1,184 in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002, representing its interest in AGCs cumulative net loss at the time.



On March 11, 2003, Asia Netcom, a company organized by China Netcom
Corporation (Hong Kong) on behalf of a consortium of investors, acquired substantially all of AGCs operating subsidiaries (except PCL) in a sale pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. On June 11, 2003, AGCs and AGCDCs bankruptcy cases
were converted from reorganizations under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to chapter 7 liquidation proceedings. The Company no longer had control or effective ownership in any of the assets formerly operated by AGC effective as of AGCs
bankruptcy petition. No recovery is expected for AGCs shareholders, including the Company.



On April 15, 2003, PCL entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell substantially all of its assets, including PC-1, to
Pivotal Telecom, LLC. However, it is the Companys understanding that a subsequent dispute has arisen between the parties to the purchase agreement and that the asset sale has not yet been consummated. The Company does not expect to receive any
recovery in its capacity as an indirect equity holder in PCL.



IPC and IXnet
Asia



On July 10, 2001, the Company exchanged the Asian
operations of IXnet and IPC as well as the Companys territorial rights in Australia and New Zealand with AGC for 26.8 million shares of AGC common stock. This increased the Companys ownership in AGC by 2% to 58.9% at the time of the
transaction closing. The transaction had no impact on consolidated results as the transaction was accounted for in accordance with AICPA Interpretation No. 39 of APB No. 16 Transfers and Exchanges Between Companies Under Common Control.
The transaction was undertaken to delineate the geographic responsibilities of the Company and AGC.



On October 4, 2001, the Companys Board of Directors approved a plan to divest IPC, a non-core operation. The Company had acquired IPC and its
wholly-owned subsidiary IXnet in a merger transaction on June 14, 2000. IPC designs, manufactures, installs and services turret systems, which provide desktop access to time-sensitive voice communications and data for the financial services
community. IXnet was not included in the plan of disposal. On November 16, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to sell IPC to an investment group led by Goldman Sachs Capital Partners 2000 for an aggregate purchase price of $360 in cash less
certain holdback requirements and working capital and purchase price adjustments as stipulated in the agreement. On December 20, 2001, the transaction closed, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $301, net of $22 paid directly to AGC, deal
costs of $8, working capital adjustments paid at closing of $9 and holdback requirements of $20. The $301 in net proceeds was placed directly into a restricted cash account for the benefit of the administrative agent to the Senior Secured Corporate
Credit Facility in accordance with the terms of the Bank Waiver that the Company negotiated with its lenders at that time. The Company recorded an after tax loss on the sale of IPC of approximately $120, which is reflected in the results from
discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2001. The 2001 operating results of IPC are accounted for as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Incumbent local exchange carrier business



On June 29, 2001, the Company completed the sale of its incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) business,
acquired as part of its acquisition of Frontier Corporation in September 1999, to Citizens Communications Company (Citizens). The sale of the ILEC resulted from the consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 11, 2000
(the Agreement), as amended, among GCL, GCNA, and Citizens. In April 2001, the Company and Citizens amended the Stock Purchase Agreement to provide for, among other things, (i) an acceleration of the anticipated closing date for the
transaction and (ii) an adjustment to the purchase price, reflecting a reduction in the amount of cash to be received by the Company at closing in connection with the transaction from $3,650 to $3,500, subject to adjustments concerning closing date
liabilities and working capital balances, and a $100 credit, subsequently reduced in July 2002 to $65, which would be applied against future services to be rendered to Citizens over a five year period. As of December 31, 2003, the present value of
the remaining $20 of this credit is provided for in the consolidated balance sheet (see Notes 13 and 17). Pursuant to the transaction, the parties also entered into an agreement under which Citizens would purchase long distance services from the
Company for resale to the ILECs customers. In connection with this sale, the associated pension assets and related liabilities were to be transferred to Citizens. As a result of the Companys bankruptcy filing, the transfer of the pension
assets and related liability was delayed pending approval of the Bankruptcy Court. While the transfer of the pension assets and related liabilities was delayed, the Company segregated the assets related to the ILEC employees during 2001. In
December, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved the transfer of the pension assets and related liabilities to Citizens, with the actual transfer of the assets occurring in February 2003. The sale of the ILEC to Citizens, which was subject to both
Federal and state regulatory approvals, closed on June 29, 2001. As a result of customary adjustments based on closing date liabilities and working capital balances, the Company received cash proceeds of $3,369 at closing and recorded an after-tax
loss from the sale of approximately $206. The 2001 operating results of the ILEC are accounted for as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.



GlobalCenter



On January 10, 2001, the Company completed the sale of GlobalCenter to Exodus for 108.15 million shares of Exodus common stock. The $126 gain on the
disposal of GlobalCenter was deferred and is being amortized over 10 years. The remaining deferred gain was written off as a fresh start accounting adjustment on the Effective Date. The value of the Exodus shares acquired was $1,918, based on the
closing sales price of Exodus common stock prior to the closing of the transaction. Due to a constant decline in the value of the Companys investment in Exodus during the first three quarters of 2001, economic conditions in the marketplace
during the second half of 2001, and the filing of bankruptcy protection by Exodus on September 26, 2001, management concluded that the impairment was other than temporary and wrote-off the full value of this security resulting in a charge of $1,918
which has been included in the Companys consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Companys beneficial ownership was less than 20% and the Company had no significant influence over Exodus. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the 2001 operating results of GlobalCenter as discontinued operations.

The fair value of
accounts receivable balances approximates their carrying value because of their short-term nature. The Company is exposed to concentrations of credit risk from other telecommunications providers (see Note 5).

As previously
disclosed in Note 4, and pursuant to SOP 90-7, the Successor adjusted its carrying value of property and equipment to their estimated fair values at the Effective Date. The Company engaged an independent appraisal expert to assist in the preliminary
allocation of the Companys value to its property and equipment.



Assets recorded under capital lease agreements included in property and equipment consisted of $53 and $40 of cost less accumulated amortization of $0 and $3 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment and
third party line installation costs (see Note 5) for the periods December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003, and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $9, $144, $137 and $968, respectively.

As previously
disclosed in Note 4, and pursuant to SOP 90-7, the Company recorded the estimated fair value of intangible assets of $113 on the Effective Date. The Company engaged an independent appraisal expert to assist in the preliminary allocation of the
Companys reorganization value to its intangible assets. No intangible assets were recorded as at December 31, 2002. Approximately $3 of the intangibles relates to the installation and maintenance segment. The accumulated amortization of
intangibles is less than $1 as of December 31, 2003. As discussed in Note 5, under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually.

14. DEFERRED REORGANIZATION COSTS



Deferred reorganization costs consist of the following:



|                                    |  |                   |

|                                    |  |                   |    



In accordance with the
Plan of Reorganization certain reorganization costs were not due and payable in full on the Effective Date. The payment terms were negotiated with the claimants during the settlement process. Many of the Companys access providers are receiving
their settlements in twelve equal monthly installments commencing thirty days after the Effective Date. Some access providers agreed to twenty-four monthly installment terms. Most of the telecommunications equipment vendors and other reorganization
costs were paid within thirty days of the Effective Date. Certain of the income tax claims in the case have payment terms of up to six years.



15. DEBT



Successor



Debt with
Controlling Shareholder



GC North American Holdings, Inc.
(GCNAH), one of the Companys U.S. subsidiaries, issued $200 in aggregate principal amount of New Senior Secured Notes to ST Telemedia on the Effective Date. On March 12, 2004, ST Telemedia transferred the Notes to a subsidiary. The
Notes mature on the third anniversary of their issuance. Interest accrues at 11% per annum and is due June 15 and December 15.



The New Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by New GCL and all of its material subsidiaries and are senior in right of payment to all other indebtedness
of New GCL and its material subsidiaries, except that they are equal in right of payment with (i) one or more working capital facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 (the Working Capital Facilities) and (ii) a limited
amount of certain other senior indebtedness. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the stock and assets of GMS and Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Limited (the Companys principal operating subsidiary in
its telecommunications services segment in the United Kingdom (GCUK)). In addition, any sale of those subsidiaries will trigger mandatory repayment of the New Senior Secured Notes to the extent of the proceeds of any such sale. To the
extent proceeds of any such sales are other than cash, such proceeds shall be substituted for the collateral. Payment of the New Senior Secured Notes will also be secured by a lien on substantially all the other assets of Successor and its material
subsidiaries, such lien to be second in priority to the lien of the Working Capital Facilities if and when such Working Capital Facilities are provided.



GCNAH may redeem the New Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, at any time without penalty or premium. In the event of a change of
control, GCNAH will be obligated to offer to redeem the notes at 101% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The New Senior Secured Notes were issued under an indenture which includes covenants and events of
default that are customary for high-yield senior note issuances. These provisions include (i) limitations on the indebtedness of Successor, (ii) limitations on dividend and other payments to equity holders (including ST Telemedia), (iii) limitations
on investments and sale and leaseback transactions, (iv) restrictions on asset sales, consolidations, and mergers, (v) limitations on granting additional liens and (vi) cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of the
Companys repayment obligations in the event that one or more of the Companys subsidiaries were to default on any capital lease obligation or debt obligation totaling more than $2.5 or the bankruptcy or insolvency of any subsidiary. The
covenants permit Successor to enter into the Working Capital Facilities and have limited exceptions, baskets, and carve-outs. The limitation on indebtedness covenant, in particular, permits the incurrence of the following: (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. It is likely that amendments to the indenture will be required by lenders as a condition to their willingness to
provide any financing. Although a wholly owned subsidiary of ST Telemedia currently holds the New Senior Secured Notes, ST Telemedia is under no obligation to continue to hold the New Senior Secured Notes for any designated period.



PredecessorIndebtedness Subject To Compromise



At December 31, 2002, the outstanding debt obligations of the Predecessor
consisted of the following:



|                                  |  |                   |        |

|                                  |  |                   |        |  



On January 28, 2002,
when Old GCL filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, long-term and short-term debt were reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise, in accordance with SOP 90-7. Prior to the Commencement Date,
the Companys primary sources of working capital had been cash flows from operations and borrowings from the issuance of senior notes and amounts received from credit facilities. Due to the proceedings under chapter 11,
the Company was in default on its debt agreements. While operating under chapter 11, the Company was prohibited from paying interest due under the terms of the debt covenants on pre-petition debts. As a result, the Company ceased accruing interest
on all long-term debt subject to compromise, also in accordance with SOP 90-7. On a combined GC Debtor basis, third-party contractual interest expense, not accrued or recorded, totaled $518 for the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and $519
for the period January 28, 2002 to December 31, 2002.

Summary of Predecessor Debt Arrangements



As a result of the bankruptcy filing on January 28, 2002 the Predecessor was in default of its debt covenants contained in
many of the Predecessors debt instruments through the Effective Date.



The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary GCHL, issued four series of Senior Notes between May 1998 and January 2001 for an aggregate amount of $3,800. The original maturities of the Senior Notes ranged from
2006 through 2009 and the interest rates ranged from 8.70% to 9.63%. Interest on all Senior Notes was payable semiannually. In addition, through the Companys acquisition of Frontier Corporation (Frontier) on September 30, 1999 it
had acquired $300 of 71/4% Senior Notes and $200 of 6% Dealer Remarketable Securities.



The Company operated under a $2,250 senior secured corporate credit facility (as amended, the Corporate Credit Facility) with several lenders.
The Corporate Credit Facility consisted of a $1,000 revolving credit facility due July 2004, a $700 revolving term facility that converted to a term loan with a maturity date in July 2004 and a $550 term loan with a maturity date in June 2006. At
December 31, 2002 the amount outstanding under the Corporate Credit Facility was $2,211, which was the full amount available less letters of credit issued thereunder.



At December 31, 2002 the Company had a $10 short-term bank loan bearing interest at 8.8% per annum. The short-term loan was
used by the Company to secure a letter of credit in favor of the Peruvian Government for import duties. In addition, at December 31, 2002, $20 of 9.3% medium term notes and $100 of 9% Debentures due 2021, both issued by Frontier prior to the date of
acquisition, remained outstanding.



As further discussed in
Note 3, upon the Companys consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy, all of its pre-petition debt was discharged.



16. OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES

At December 31, 2003, future minimum payments under these capital leases are
as follows and are included in other current liabilities and obligations under capital lease in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet:

18. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO
COMPROMISEPREDECESSOR



Claims against the GC Debtors
in existence prior to January 28, 2002 are reflected in the accompanying December 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheet as liabilities subject to compromise.



Since the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Bankruptcy Court approved various settlement agreements with certain vendor
creditors of the Company, including several significant vendor creditors. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized the effect of settlement agreements with certain vendor creditors. These settlements resolved certain claims
against certain Predecessor entities, resulting in a reduction of both liabilities subject to compromise and liabilities not subject to compromise. As a result of the vendor settlements, the Company recognized reorganization
gains of $45 and $255 for the period January 1 to December 9, 2003 and for the year ended December 31, 2002 (see Note 23) representing the reduction in liabilities owed to such vendor creditors, offset by the cash settlement payments made to such
creditors.



The components of liabilities subject to compromise
as of December 31, 2002, consisted of the following:



|                                                                                                                                                                                        |  |                   |

For the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, preferred stock dividends of the Predecessor were $19 and $238, respectively.



Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, all of the cumulative convertible preferred stock was canceled on the Effective Date. The holders of cumulative
convertible preferred stock did not receive or retain any property.



In September 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No.150, resulting in the reclassification of the $526 of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock to liabilities subject to compromise for all subsequent periods reported. The
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock balance of $526 at December 31, 2002 represented the approved value in the Companys Plan of Reorganization and approximated the redemption value.



20. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)



Successor



Preferred Stock



On the Effective Date, New GCL issued 18,000,000 shares of 2% cumulative senior convertible preferred stock to a subsidiary of ST Telemedia (the New
GCL Preferred Stock). The New GCL Preferred Stock accumulates dividends at the rate of 2% per annum. Those dividends will be payable in cash after New GCL and its subsidiaries (other than GMS and its subsidiaries) achieve cumulative operating
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (but excluding the contribution of (i) sales-type lease revenue (ii) revenue recognized from the amortization of indefeasible rights of use not recognized as sales-type leases and (iii)
any revenue recognized from extraordinary transactions or from the disposition of assets by the Company or any subsidiary other than in the ordinary course of business) of $650 or more. The New GCL Preferred Stock has a par value of $.10 per share
and a liquidation preference of $10 per share (for an aggregate liquidation preference of $180). The New GCL Preferred Stock ranks senior to all other capital stock of New GCL, provided that any distribution to shareholders following a disposition
of all or any portion of the assets of New GCL will be shared

pro rata by the holders of Successor common stock and Successor Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. Each share of New GCL Preferred Stock is
convertible into one share of New GCL Common Stock at the option of the holder.



The preferred stock will vote on an as-converted basis with the New GCL common stock, but will have class voting rights with respect to any amendments to the terms of the New GCL Preferred Stock. As long as ST
Telemedia beneficially owns at least 15% or more of New GCL Common Stock on a non-diluted and as-converted basis, excluding up to 3,478,261 shares of New GCL common stock reserved or issued under the new management stock incentive plan (Stock
Incentive Plan) adopted by Successor on the Effective Date, its approval will be required for certain major corporate actions of Successor and/or its subsidiaries. Those corporate actions include (i) the appointment or replacement of the chief
executive officer, (ii) material acquisitions or dispositions, (iii) mergers, consolidations or reorganizations, (iv) issuance of additional equity securities (other than enumerated exceptions), (v) incurrence of indebtedness above specified
amounts, (vi) capital expenditures in excess of specified amounts, (vii) the commencement of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, and (viii) certain affiliate transactions.



Common stock



On the Effective Date, New GCL was authorized to issue 55,000,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, upon the Companys
emergence from bankruptcy, New GCL issued 15,400,000 shares of common stock to the Companys pre-petition creditors and issued 6,600,000 shares of common stock to a subsidiary of ST Telemedia. 18,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for
the conversion of the New GCL Preferred Stock, while an additional 3,478,261 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under New GCLs 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.



Each share of New GCL common stock has a par value of $.01 and entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to be
approved by stockholders. The amended and restated bye-laws of New GCL contain certain special protections for minority shareholders, including a maximum discount applicable to rights offerings made prior to December 9, 2006 and certain obligations
of ST Telemedia, or other third parties, to offer to purchase shares of New GCL Common Stock under certain circumstances. Certain other minority protections expired when the New GCL Common Stock was listed on the NASDAQ National Market, including
certain pre-emptive rights and certain limitations on transactions with ST Telemedia or its affiliates.



Predecessor



Predecessors common stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol GX until January 28, 2002, at which time the NYSE suspended trading of Old GCLs common stock due to the
Companys chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. As a result of the suspension and subsequent delisting of Old GCLs common stock from the NYSE, the shares began quotation on the over-the-counter (OTC) market under the symbol
GBLXQ on January 29, 2002. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization (see Note 3), all of the outstanding common stock, including the treasury stock, of Old GCL was cancelled on the Effective Date. The holders of the common stock did not
receive or retain any property under the Plan of Reorganization.

reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes.



Bermuda does not impose a statutory income tax and consequently the benefit (provision) for income taxes recorded relates to
income earned by certain subsidiaries of the Company which are located in jurisdictions which impose income taxes.



The following is a summary of the significant items giving rise to components of the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities:

The Company recorded a
valuation allowance of $989 and $506 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The valuation allowance is primarily related to deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the full benefit of the NOL carry forwards. In
evaluating the amount of valuation allowance needed, the Company considers the subsidiaries prior operating results and future plans and expectations. The utilization period of the NOL carry forwards and the turnaround period of other temporary
differences are also considered. Certain of the Companys NOLs began to expire in 2003. The future recognition of such amounts will first reduce reorganization value in excess of the fair value of net assets. Should the recognition of net
deferred tax assets result in the elimination of reorganization value in excess of the fair value of net assets, any additional deferred tax asset recognition will reduce other intangible assets. Deferred tax assets recognized in excess of the
carrying value of intangible assets will be treated as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

Tax benefit was recognized for changes in tax laws and status of $12 in 2002 for a change in the US
NOL carry back period to 5 years.



The Company has closed its
tax years through 2001 with the US Internal Revenue Service and recorded the results of the examination in the fourth quarter of 2001. Based on the completion of the examination in the fourth quarter of 2002, a tax benefit of approximately $100 was
recorded for the 2002 net operating loss and capital loss that were carried back to previous years.



In connection with the Companys emergence from bankruptcy, the Company realized substantial cancellation of debt income (COD). This income will not
be taxable for U.S. income tax purposes because the COD income resulted from the Companys reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. However, for U.S. income tax reporting purposes, the Company will be required as of the beginning of its 2004
taxable year to reduce certain tax attributes, including (a) net operating loss carryforwards, (b) certain tax credit carryforwards, and (c) tax basis in assets, in a total amount equal to the gain on the extinguishment of debt. The reorganization
of the Company on the Emergence Date constituted an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the use of any of the Companys net operating loss carryforwards and certain subsequently recognized built-in
losses and deductions, if any, existing prior to the ownership change that are not reduced pursuant to these provisions will be subject to an overall annual limitation. The actual amount of reduction in tax attributes for the U.S. income tax
reporting purposes will not be determined until all the relevant information is obtained and analyzed pertaining to the facts and circumstances that existed at the emergence date and is therefore not reflected in the amounts recorded in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and disclosed in this note to the consolidated financial statements.



The Company and its subsidiaries income tax returns are routinely examined by various tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax
authorities have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments. The Company is reviewing the issues raised and will contest any adjustments it deems appropriate. In managements opinion, adequate provision for income taxes has been made for all
open years.

23. REORGANIZATION ITEMS



Reorganization items are expenses or income that are incurred or realized by Predecessor as a result of the reorganization
and are disclosed separately in the Companys 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 are offset by interest earned on cash accumulated as a result of Predecessors not paying their pre-petition liabilities during the pendency of the bankruptcy cases as well as vendor settlements. Reorganization items for the Predecessor
for the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002 are as follows:

The Company had a loss
from continuing operations for the period from December 10 to December 31, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic in those periods, as any potentially dilutive securities would
reduce the loss per share from continuing operations.

On December 12, 2001 the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors approved a
total of 19,388,110 stock options to be granted to employees at an exercise price of $1.12 per share. As a result of the significant downturn in the Companys operations and related events, the terms of this stock option grant were never
communicated to the employees and, as a result, a mutual understanding of these terms between the Company and employees did not crystallize. For purposes hereof and in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, the employee stock option grants on December 12, 2001 are not included in the pro forma calculation of net income (loss) and basic and diluted income (loss) per share (see Note 4) and the calculation of granted, outstanding and
exercisable stock options for the period January 1 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



During the periods December 10 to December 31, 2003 and January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company
recognized stock compensation expense of $1, $0, $0 and $21, respectively, relating to the stock compensation plans and the vested economic rights to purchase common stock. The Company uses the attrition rate method for recognizing stock
compensation expense.



26. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS



Defined Contribution Plans



The Company sponsors a number of defined contribution plans. The principal
defined contribution plans are discussed individually below. Other defined contribution plans are not significant individually and therefore have been summarized in aggregate below.



Through December 31, 2001, the Company offered its qualified employees the opportunity to participate in a defined
contribution retirement plan, the Global Crossing 401(k) Plan, qualifying under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each eligible employee could contribute on a tax-deferred basis a portion of their annual earnings not to
exceed certain limits. During 2001 the Company provided 100% matching contributions in the form of Old GCL common stock up to 6% of gross compensation. The Companys contributions to the plan vested immediately. This plan was terminated
effective December 31, 2001 and the net assets merged into the Global Crossing Employees Retirement Savings Plan. Expenses recorded by the Company relating to the Global Crossing 401(k) Plan was approximately $2 for the year ended December 31,
2001.



Through December 31, 2001, the Company also sponsored a
number of defined contribution plans for Frontier employees. The most significant plan, the Frontier Employees Retirement Savings Plan, covered non-bargaining employees, who were able to elect to make contributions through payroll deduction.
Each eligible employee could contribute on a tax-deferred basis a portion of their annual earnings not to exceed certain limits. The Company provided 100% matching contributions in the form of Old GCL common stock up to 6% of gross compensation, and
could, at the discretion of management, provide additional matching contributions based upon Frontiers financial results. The majority of common stock used for matching contributions was purchased on the open market by the plans trustee,
a portion represented shares newly issued by the Company. This plan and other defined contribution plans for Frontier employees were terminated effective December 31, 2001 and the net assets merged into the Global Crossing Employees Retirement
Savings Plan. Expenses recorded by the Company relating to all plans offered to Frontier employees was $12 for the year ended December 31, 2001.



On December 31, 2001, the net assets of various plans including the Global Crossing 401(k) Plan and Frontier Employees Retirement Savings Plan were
merged into the Global Crossing Employees Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan). The Plan qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each eligible

the Company relating to the GMS plan were not material to the financial statements for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



On May 24, 2000, the Company established a defined

January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



Other defined contribution plans sponsored by the Company are individually not significant. On an aggregate basis the expenses recorded by the Company
relating to these plans were approximately $0, $3, $3 and $5 for the period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

In June, 2001, the
Company sold its ILEC business to Citizens. In connection with this sale, the associated pension assets and related liability were to be transferred to Citizens. As a result of the Companys bankruptcy filing the transfer of the pension assets
and related liability was delayed pending approval of the Bankruptcy Court.



While the transfer of the pension assets and related liability was delayed, the Company segregated the assets related to the ILEC employees during 2001. Although the assets remained in the Companys control as of
December 31, 2002, Citizens effectively administered benefit payments to the ILEC employees for the 2002 plan year. In December 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved the transfer of the pension assets and related liability to Citizens, with the actual
transfer of the assets occurring in February 2003.

Investment strategies
for all significant Pension Plans follow:



The expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation.



The Global Marine Pension Plan (GMS Plan) which represents
approximately 64% of the Companys total plan assets as at December 31, 2003, is invested in 95% equity securities and 5% fixed income government bonds. There are no restrictions on the asset allocation of plan assets; however, the planned
asset allocation as determined by the trustees of the GMS Plan are in line with current allocations. The expected long-term rates of return are based on the respective returns of equities (7.5%) and index linked government bonds (4.5%). The current
planned asset allocation strategy was determined with regard to actuarial characteristics of the GMS Plan. It is based on the assumption that equities would outperform government bonds over the long term and is consistent with the overall objective
of long-term capital growth. The expected return on equities is based on historic returns on equity investments. The expected return on index linked government bonds is based on historic yields for UK government index-linked bonds.



The Global Crossing UK Railways Pension Scheme (GCUK Scheme),
which represents approximately 27% of the Companys total plan assets as at December 31, 2003, is invested in 85% equity securities, 10% bonds and 5% real estate. The current planned asset allocation strategy was determined with regard to
actuarial characteristics of the GCUK Scheme. It is based on the assumption that equities would outperform bonds over the long term and is consistent with the overall objective of long-term capital growth. The expected long-term rate of return on
plan assets was calculated by the plan actuary and is based on historic returns each asset class held by the plan at the beginning of the year.



The weighted-average asset allocations by asset category for all pension plans are as follows:



|                  |  |                   |   |  |                   |

None of the
Companys other pension plans ABOs exceed the fair value of their respective pension plans assets as at December 31, 2002.



27. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES



The Company uses derivative financial instruments for purposes other than trading to enhance its ability to manage various forms of risk, including market
price risk on equity securities it holds as investments, and interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks, which exist as part of its ongoing business operations. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with related
underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures.



The Company designates derivatives as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.



Cash Flow Hedges



Sonus Hedge



In May 2001, the Company entered into a collar pertaining to an equity investment in order to reduce its exposure to changes in the investments
market value. Because this equity collar was classified as a cash flow hedge, any unrealized gains or losses were recognized in the stockholders equity section of the balance sheet.



The Company held an equity investment in Sonus Networks, Inc. (Sonus), which consisted of 484,346 shares of
Sonus Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock, with a cost basis of $7. After the initial public offering of Sonus, the Company converted the preferred stock into common stock. In April 2001, the Company entered into a Variable Forward
Transaction (VFT) with Goldman Sachs Financial Markets on the Sonus shares, with maturities in 2004 and 2005. The VFT was an equity collar on the Sonus shares with a revolving loan (borrowing) arrangement. The Company had borrowed a
total of $61, which remained outstanding as of September 30, 2001. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, the equity collar was marked to market through the stockholders equity section of the balance sheet, and, as a result, the Company had recorded
an unrealized gain of $40 in Other Comprehensive Income at September 30, 2001.



In the fourth quarter of 2001, because of a reduction in the Companys credit ratings, the outstanding revolving loan was called by Goldman Sachs. As a result, the debt (revolving loan) was repaid, the hedge
(equity collar) was closed and the Sonus shares were sold. The net settlement between the debt and the hedge resulted in

a cash outflow of $20 (debt of $61, less the realized gain on the hedge of $41 included in loss from write-down and sale of investments, net).
The Company also sold its Sonus shares for $9. Therefore, the net cash outflow of the closure of the hedge, debt and shares was $11. The Company recognized a gain of $2 on the sale of the shares, which was recorded in the quarter ended December 31,
2001.



PCL Hedge



As a result of the consolidation of PCL, then a majority-owned subsidiary of
AGC, in 2000 the Company had an $850 aggregate non-recourse senior secured loan facility (PC-1 Credit Facility) for construction start-up and financing costs. The PC-1 Credit Facility was comprised of $840 of a multiple draw-down term
loan and a $10 working capital facility. The PC-1 Credit Facility was not guaranteed by GCL but instead secured by a pledge of common stock in PCL and its subsidiaries and a security interest in certain of its accounts and its rights under certain
contracts. Under the PC-1 Credit Facility, the Company selected loan arrangements as either a Eurodollar loan or an Alternative Base Rate (ABR) loan. The Eurodollar interest rate was LIBOR plus 2.25-2.50% and the ABR interest rate was
the greater of (a) the Prime Rate and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, in either case plus 1.25-1.50%. The loans contained a pre-payment clause that allowed the Company to pay down the balance sooner than scheduled.



In order to better manage PCLs exposure to interest rate risk, the
Company had entered into two interest rate swap transactions with Deutsche Bank and CIBC Oppenheimer, based on one month LIBOR, to minimize its exposure to increases in interest rates on its borrowings. The swap transactions fixed the floating
interest rate at 4.985% on a notional amount of borrowings of $500 until January 31, 2004. It was the Companys intention that the debt would be outstanding in a sufficient amount to cover the amount of the derivative. If the borrowings were
prepaid under the loan agreement, the Company expected to replace the loan with another borrowing with a materially similar risk exposure. Because the swaps were classified as cash flow hedges, and were 100% effective, in accordance with SFAS No.
133, any unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value were recorded in the stockholders equity section of the balance sheet as other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2001, the Company recognized $14 in other
comprehensive income related to the PC-1 Credit Facility interest rate swaps.



As discussed in Note 6, on July 19, 2002, PCL and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, for purposes of the Companys consolidated financial
statements, PCL and its subsidiaries were no longer included in the Companys consolidated and consolidating financial statements. The bankruptcy caused the PC-1 Credit Facility to be in default and the debt was called. As of June 30, 2002, the
Company recognized $12 in other comprehensive loss related to the PC-1 Credit Facility interest rate swaps. In July 2002, as PCL, net assets were abandoned and removed from the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized the $12 loss
in the consolidated statements of operations related to the PC-1 Credit Facility interest rate swaps.



28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS



The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accrued construction costs, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued interest, obligations under inland services agreements
and capital leases approximate their fair value. Management believes the carrying value of the New Senior Secured Notes approximates fair value as of December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2002 the fair value for liabilities subject to compromise could
not be estimated other than the senior notes described in

redeemable preferred stock, cumulative convertible preferred stock and interest rate swap transactions are based on market quotes and the fair values are as follows:

29. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND
OTHER



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
during the chapter 11 cases, as well as a brief description of certain legal proceedings against or relating to the Predecessor.



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 the Companys 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
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. The Company and certain of the former officers and directors of Old GCL have been negotiating with the DOL staff over the terms of a potential settlement, but no agreement has been reached. 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 on October 30, 2002 asserting that an undersea
cable owned by 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. The Company understands that the claimant had reached an agreement with PCL to transfer the Special Use
permit to Pivotal Telecom as part of a larger sale of assets (see Note 8). That agreement was approved by PCLs bankruptcy court on October 7, 2003. Under the terms of the agreement, Pivotal would assume liability for any payment or performance
obligations under the permit on a go-forward basis. The Company is not a party to this agreement and understands that a subsequent dispute has arisen between PCL and Pivotal and the asset sale has not been concluded. The Company filed its objection
to this claim with the bankruptcy court on November 7, 2003.



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 and 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 to include 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 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. The Company
disputes the charges and will be defending itself vigorously.



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

##### Table of Contents

GLOBAL CROSSING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

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



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 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.



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 responded to the
preliminary audit disputing the results and is awaiting a response from the tax authority detailing its formal position on the audit. The potential customs and duties exposure, including possible treble penalties to the Company could be as high as
$25-$35.



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 objecting to such Administrative Claims. The Company does not believe that the resolution of those claims will not have an adverse affect on the Successor.



Softbank Arbitration and Microsoft Settlement



At the time of the formation of the Asia Global Crossing joint venture,
Microsoft and Softbank each committed to purchases of at least $100 in capacity on the Companys network over a three-year period. Softbank failed to satisfy that commitment, and its remaining unsatisfied commitment of $85.5, which it was

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

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



required to utilize by December 31, 2002, was the subject of an arbitration proceeding that concluded in October 2003. The arbitration, commenced by the
Company in September 2002, alleged that Softbank breached its contractual obligations to the Company and sought $85.5 in damages. Softbanks defense was that its commitment was extinguished as a result of the Companys loss of control of
Asia Global Crossing and Pacific Crossing Limited, and that in any event it was entitled to offset any monies owed against various credits and abatements due from the Company. In a final award issued on October 30, 2003, the arbitration panel found
that Softbank is liable to the Company for breach of the underlying commercial commitment agreement in the net amount of approximately $20, after abatements and offsets, together with an additional award of interest in the amount of approximately
$0.2. On December 3, 2003, the Company received $20 million plus interest from Softbank.



On April 1, 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Microsoft to resolve a number of contractual disputes regarding its remaining capacity commitment obligations, including allegations by Microsoft
that were similar to those made by Softbank in the above-referenced arbitration proceedings. The settlement resulted in a reduction in Microsofts remaining unsatisfied commitment from approximately $76 to approximately $61. During 2003
Microsoft satisfied a portion of its remaining unsatisfied commitment by prepaying for $23 in capacity and services from the Company. On January 9, 2004, Microsoft satisfied the balance of its remaining unsatisfied commitment by prepaying for $38 in
additional capacity and services.



OGCbuying.solutions Claim



Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Limited (GCUKTL) has
been notified by the UK government buying department, OGCbuying.solutions (OGC), of OGCs contractual right to buy, for a fixed sum of £0.75, dedicated equipment used by GCUKTL for the provisioning of certain network services
under an agreement dated November 15, 1996 (the MTS Agreement). OGC has indicated that this purchase right would not normally arise until termination of the MTS Agreement in 2006. However, OGC has reserved its position on approval of the
change of control to ST Telemedia. As a result of a capability audit that OGC commissioned on the Company, the Company has agreed to provide OGC with certain financial information through June 8, 2004, the final date upon which OGC may grant or
decline its approval to the change of control. Should approval be declined, then the MTS Agreement may be terminated, precipitating the purchase right. GCUKTL does not now own the dedicated equipment required for the provision of service under the
MTS Agreement, and if OGC was to continue to assert its contract rights, GCUKTL might have to purchase this equipment at a premium from third party suppliers or their equipment lease financiers in order to be able to discharge its obligation to OGC.



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 signalling 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 are ongoing. It is possible that the Company may not be able to reach agreement with Network Rail in this regard, 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



F-80

##### Table of Contents

GLOBAL CROSSING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

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



customer contracts pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide these services beyond March 31, 2005. Even if the Company secures alternative
arrangements with Network Rail or a third party, such arrangements may be on terms significantly less favorable than those contained in the current lease.



As commercial discussions are continuing, it is difficult at this time fully to assess the potential impact on revenue or costs. The total revenue
attributable to the managed voice services the Company provides to UK train operating companies was approximately $82 in 2003, with approximately $34 directly related to the assets covered by the Copper Provisions. Although the Company expects to be
able to address the termination of the Copper Provisions without losing this revenue stream and without incurring material incremental costs, no assurance can be made in this regard.



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.



Predecessor Legal Proceedings



The following pending legal proceedings are not expected to affect the Company going forward, except to the extent that (1) certain of the
Successors officers and employees are defendants in these actions and such involvement could distract them from their duties at the Company or (2) the Company advances defense costs for present or Old GCLs directors, officers and
employees who are defendants in these actions (the Individual Defendants).



During the pendency of the GC Debtors chapter 11 cases, the Company determined that it was in its best interests for its litigation counsel (the Joint Counsel) to represent as many as possible of its
current Old GCLs directors, officers and employees in addition to the Company. The Company determined that such joint representation would ensure the prosecution of a coordinated, timely and effective defense of and response to the SEC
investigation and the other pending or threatened actions or investigations concerning the Company. With the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Company agreed, as an administrative expense, to advance the fees and expenses of the Joint Counsel in
defending the Individual Defendants in these actions so long as there was no actual conflict of interest in such representation. The Company expects to receive reimbursement under its directors and officers liability insurance policies for the
majority of the defense costs that it has advanced in the past and anticipates advancing in the future. Most of the amounts advanced in the past have already been reimbursed by the applicable insurance carriers.



Shareholder Class Actions and Other Actions



Following the Companys filing for bankruptcy on January 28, 2002,
approximately 50 purported shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against certain of Old GCLs then current and former officers, directors and employees. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants committed fraud under the federal
securities laws in connection with the Old GCLs financial statements and disclosures and certain other public statements made by the Companys representatives and seek compensatory damages, costs and expenses, and equitable and other
relief. The class actions have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption In re Global Crossing Ltd. Securities Litigation. In addition, a number of individual securities
cases or other actions based on federal or state law claims and arising out of similar underlying facts have been filed (and in the future, additional cases may be filed) against certain of the



F-81

##### Table of Contents

GLOBAL CROSSING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

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



Companys current and former officers, directors, and employees, seeking damages for alleged violations of federal and state securities laws, breach of
fiduciary duties, violations of state whistle-blower statutes, and allegations that certain former employees were improperly restricted from selling Old GCL common stock before the price collapsed. The Company is involved only indirectly in these
cases and is not a named defendant.



On March 19, 2004, the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order preliminarily approving a settlement between the plaintiffs and the individual officers, directors and employees of Old GCL who are defendants in the consolidated
securities action. Any monetary liability that the Company may have had in respect of these cases was discharged upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization.



ERISA Class Actions



Following the Companys filing for bankruptcy on January 28, 2002, plaintiffs filed over 15 purported class actions against the Companys
current and former officers, directors, and employees pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) in connection with the administration of its 401(k) retirement savings plans. The plaintiffs allege, among
other things, that the ERISA fiduciaries breached their duties to the 401(k) plan participants by directing or otherwise being responsible for the plans acquiring and continuing to maintain investments in Old GCLs common stock. The
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has consolidated most of these actions under the caption In re Global Crossing Ltd. ERISA Litigation. The consolidated complaint seeks, among other things, a declaration that
the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the plaintiff class, an order compelling defendants to make good on the losses sustained by the plans, the imposition of a constructive trust on any amounts by which the defendants were unjustly
enriched by their actions, and an order of equitable restitution. Although Old GCL is named as a defendant in the consolidated ERISA case, plaintiffs asserted in their consolidated complaint that they would not prosecute their action against Old GCL
unless or until the Bankruptcy Court were to lift or grant relief from the automatic stay of litigation imposed by the Bankruptcy Code. No such relief was granted prior to the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization.



On April 30, 2002, an additional case, Pusloskie v. Winnick et al.,
was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Companys current and former directors, officers and employees. This case is brought on behalf of a putative class of the
Companys former employees and asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties in connection with the administration of one of the Companys 401(k) retirement plans. This additional case does not name the Company as a defendant and was not
consolidated with the other ERISA cases.



On March 19, 2004,
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order preliminarily approving a settlement between the plaintiffs and the individual officers, directors and employees of Old GCL who are defendants in these ERISA
actions. Any monetary liability that the Company may have had in respect of these cases was discharged upon the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization.



Change-of-Control Severance Plan Class Action



Plaintiffs filed a purported class action against the Companys current and former officers, directors, and employees and against the Frontier
Corporation/Global Crossing Change of Control Severance Plan (the Severance Plan) under ERISA in connection with the administration of the Severance Plan. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that the purported ERISA fiduciaries
and the Severance Plan breached their duties to the plans participants in suspending payments of severance benefits in connection with the Companys bankruptcy filing. The case has been coordinated (but not consolidated) with the
securities and the other ERISA class actions in the Southern District of New York, where it is pending under the caption Simonetti v. Perrone.

The Company is not named as a defendant in the Simonetti case and the plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed the Severance Plan as a defendant. On
March 19, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered into an order preliminarily approving a settlement between the plaintiffs and the individual officers, directors and employees of Old GCL who are
defendants in that case. Any monetary liability that the Company may have had in respect of this case was discharged upon the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization.



JPMorgan Chase Litigation



On October 27, 2003, the Predecessors primary lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, in its role as administrative agent for a consortium of banks
participating in the Predecessors $2.25 billion senior secured corporate credit facility, filed an action in the New York State Supreme Court for New York County, captioned JPMorgan Chase Bank v. Winnick, et al., against a number of
current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company alleging that the defendants fraudulently reported misleading and untrue financial statements and records of compliance with certain financial covenants in the credit facility. The
complaint asserts claims of fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and aiding and abetting negligent misrepresentation. The complaint seeks damages of at least $1.7 billion, pre-judgment interest,
and costs and expenses, including attorneys fees. The Company is not a defendant in the litigation. Any claims that the plaintiffs could have asserted against the Company in this case were discharged upon the effectiveness of the Plan of
Reorganization. On March 19, 2004, the plaintiff and the outside directors entered into a stipulation of settlement by which the outside directors will be dismissed from the JPMorgan Chase action.



Initial Public Offering Litigation



On June 12, 2002, certain plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint
captioned In re Global Crossing Ltd. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that certain of the Companys current and former officers and directors
violated the federal securities laws through agreements with underwriters in connection with Old GCLs initial public offering and other offerings of its shares. The complaint seeks damages in an unstated amount, pre-judgment and post-judgment
interest, and attorneys and expert witness fees. This consolidated action involving Old GCL is further consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York with cases against approximately 309 other public
issuers and their underwriters under the caption In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation. Pursuant to the automatic stay of litigation imposed by the Bankruptcy Code, the Company is not a defendant in this action. The Company
believes that any liability it may have in respect of this action is subject to indemnification by the firms that acted as underwriters in the applicable securities offerings. Any monetary liability was, in any event, discharged upon the
effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization.



Resolution of
Pre-petition Claims



Although claims arising prior to the
commencement of the GC Debtors chapter 11 cases were discharged under the Plan of Reorganization, the holders of certain of those claims are entitled to share in the distributions under the plan. Many claims were filed against the GC Debtors
that were overstated, unliquidated, or unsupported. As is typical in a large chapter 11 case, the resolution of those claims will take place over a number of months after the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization. The Plan of Reorganization
turned this administrative process over to an Estate Representative, appointed by representatives of the Companys largest pre-petition creditor groups. The resolution of disputes in connection with these pre-petition claims will
not have an adverse effect on the Successor or change the aggregate treatment of the classes of claims and interests receiving distributions under the Plan of Reorganization.

Estate Representative Actions



Under the Plan of Reorganization, certain claims and causes of action against third parties for preferences, fraudulent
transfers, and other causes of actions belonging to the GC Debtors were transferred to a liquidating trust for the benefit of certain classes of pre-petition creditors. The Estate Representative is responsible for prosecuting, settling or otherwise
resolving the causes of action transferred to the liquidating trust.



Commitments



Access and Maintenance Purchase
Commitment Obligations



The Company has purchase
commitments with third party access vendors that require it to make payments to purchase network services, capacity and telecommunications equipment through 2008. Some of these access vendor commitments require the Company to maintain minimum
monthly and/annual billings, in certain cases based on usage. In addition, the Company has purchase commitments with third parties that require it to make payments for operations, administration and maintenance services for certain portions of its
network through 2025.



Operating leases



The Company has commitments under various non-cancelable operating leases
for office and equipment space, vessels, equipment rentals and other leases. Estimated future minimum lease payments on operating leases are approximately as follows:



|                         |  |   |      
|------------------------ |  | - | -----
|Year Ending December 31, |  |   |      
|2004                     |  | $ | 170  
|2005                     |  |   | 155  
|2006                     |  |   | 131  
|2007                     |  |   | 122  
|2008                     |  |   | 104  
|Thereafter               |  |   | 660  
|                         |  |   |      
|Total                    |  | $ | 1,342
|                         |  |   |      



The leases have
various expiration dates and renewal options through 2119. Certain of the Companys operating lease agreements include scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease. In accordance with Statement of SFAS No. 13, Accounting for
Leases the Company recognizes the rent expense on a straight-line basis and record a liability representing the rent expensed but not invoiced in other deferred liabilities. Rental expense related to office space, vessels and equipment for the
period December 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the period January 1, 2003 to December 9, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, was $13, $147,$182, and $201, respectively.



Network Security Agreement



In order to gain regulatory approval, which was a requirement for the
consummation of the Plan of Reorganization from the United States government, the Company entered into an agreement to address the United States governments national security and law enforcement concerns. Implementation of and compliance under
the agreement will require ongoing capital and operating expenditures of approximately $5 in 2004 and $2.5 per annum in subsequent years.

30. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS



Loans to Executive Officers



In February 2001, one of the Companys subsidiaries made a $3 interest-free loan to José Antonio Ríos, an executive officer of the
Company. The loan was forgivable in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to Mr. Ríos continued employment with the Company. $1 of this loan was forgiven by its terms in each
of February 2002, February 2003 and February 2004.



During 1999
through 2002 the Company made approximately $5 in loans to other employees. As of December 31, 2002, all employee loans mentioned herein have been either paid in full, forgiven or fully reserved for collectibility.



Joint Venture Between AGC and ST Telemedia



On May 20, 2000, AGC entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding
with a majority owned subsidiary of ST Telemedia (Starhub) to enter into joint venture agreements for the purpose of forming two joint ventures, each of which was to be 50% owned by AGC and Starhub. On January 12, 2001, AGC and Starhub
executed the first joint venture agreement, forming Starhub Asia Global Crossing Pte Ltd (SAGC). SAGC was established to build and operate backhaul and telehouses in Singapore and to connect a terrestrial network within Singapore to
connect with AGCs Pan Asian East Asia Crossing (EAC) subsea system. On May 8, 2002, AGC and Starhub announced that SAGC would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGC. This modification occurred to more appropriately reflect the
respective capacity needs of AGC and Starhub. Under the terms of the modification, AGC was to continue to utilize the Starhub network for its Singapore backhaul. Similarly, Starhub was to continue to access AGCs network for its international
capacity needs. As a result of AGCs chapter 11 petitions and subsequent sale of substantially all of AGCs operating subsidiaries on March 11, 2003 (see Note 8), there is no longer any continuing relationship between AGC and Starhub.



Relationship with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP



Simpson Thacher was the Companys principal corporate counsel from the
Companys inception in 1997 through its bankruptcy filing in January 2002. D. Rhett Brandon, a Simpson Thacher partner, served concurrently as the Companys acting vice president and general counsel from mid-September 2001 through February
2002, while remaining a partner of and receiving compensation from Simpson Thacher, which billed the Company fees that included Mr. Brandons time charges, incurred at his usual hourly rate. The Company made aggregate payments of approximately
$17.1 and $3.8 to Simpson Thacher for fees and disbursements in 2001 and 2002, respectively, including significant payments made within 90 days of the date on which the Company first filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code. It is possible
that a portion of these payments may be recoverable by Predecessor in an avoidance action under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Predecessors rights to pursue any such action were transferred to a
liquidating trust established for the benefit of Predecessors creditors, to whom any recovery will be distributed.



Commercial relationships between the Company and ST Telemedia



During the year ended 2003, the Company provided approximately $0.3 of carrier services to an affiliate of ST Telemedia. Further, during 2003 the Company
entered into co-location agreements in the United States with an affiliate of ST Telemedia and was charged $0.7.

CEO Employment Agreement and Loan Forgiveness



On October 3, 2001, GCL hired Mr. Legere as its chief executive officer. Until Mr. Legeres employment with AGC
terminated on January 11, 2002, Mr. Legere also continued at the same time to serve as chief executive officer of AGC, then still a subsidiary of the Company. On the date of his hiring by GCL, Mr. Legeres employment agreement with AGC was
effectively amended and restated in a new employment agreement among GCL, AGC and Mr. Legere (the October 3, 2001 Employment Agreement); provided that AGCs obligations under Mr. Legeres February 12, 2000 employment agreement
technically continued, with any compensation paid under that agreement being offset against the employers obligations under the October 3, 2001 Employment Agreement.



The October 3, 2001 Employment Agreement provided for a three-year term and a base salary of $1.1, a target annual bonus of
$1.375, a signing bonus in the net after-tax amount of $3.5, and 5 million options to purchase GCL common stock. The agreement also changed the terms applicable to the $10 balance then outstanding on Mr. Legeres $15 promissory note to AGC.
Specifically, Global Crossing agreed to pay after-tax amounts sufficient to cover all taxes attributable to the forgiveness of Mr. Legeres loan. These tax-related payments in respect of the three $5 installments were payable on January 1,
2002, October 1, 2002 and February 1, 2003, respectively. The tax-related payment in respect of the forgiveness of the first $5 installment was made by the Company on or about January 1, 2002. This payment, in the amount of approximately $4.8, also
included a tax gross-up in respect of interest imputed on Mr. Legeres loan in 2001. The $10 loan balance was forgiven in full in connection with the termination of Mr. Legeres employment by AGC on January 11, 2002. No tax-related payment
was ever made in respect of the forgiveness of the $10 balance of Mr. Legeres loan.



After the GC Debtors January 28, 2002 bankruptcy filing, on April 8, 2002, the GC Debtors filed a motion to assume the October 31, 2001 Employment Agreement, subject to certain modifications, including a
temporary voluntary 30% reduction in Mr. Legeres base salary. Mr. Legeres employment agreement was the subject of extensive negotiation and review by the creditors committee and the agent for the Companys bank creditors. Numerous
additional concessions were made by Mr. Legere in order to attain the approval of the creditors committee, including the tying of Mr. Legeres annual bonus opportunity to the attainment of specified corporate and individual performance goals
subject to the approval of the creditors committee and the bank creditors, and the waiver of certain relocation expenses and certain additional severance, retention and other benefits, including the tax-related payments referenced above that would
have totaled approximately $8.8 in respect of the $10 of Mr. Legeres loan forgiven on January 11, 2002. In light of these concessions, the agreement provided Mr. Legere with (1) a $3.2 retention bonus payable in four equal installments on June
4, 2002, July 31, 2002, October 31, 2002 and January 31, 2003 and (2) the opportunity to earn a performance fee up to $4 based on the value to be received by the creditors of the Company in its chapter 11 reorganization (the Contingent
Performance Fee). The Bankruptcy Court approved the assumption of the modified employment agreement on May 31, 2002. The $3.2 retention bonus payments were made by the Company to Mr. Legere on the dates specified above; however, no Contingent
Performance Fee was paid to Mr. Legere as his proposed new employment agreement (described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) went into effect upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization.



The Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Legere (the
Emergence Employment Agreement) on December 10, 2003, the form of which was approved by ST Telemedia. This agreement superseded the Bankruptcy Period Employment Agreement, except with respect to certain rights Mr. Legere had under the
latter agreement relating to indemnification, liability insurance and the resolution of disputes thereunder.



The Emergence Employment Agreement: (1) provides Mr. Legere with an annual base salary of $1.1 and a target annual bonus of $1.1; (2) entitles Mr. Legere
to attend all meetings of New GCLs Board of Directors and

to receive all materials provided to the members of the Board, subject to certain limited exceptions; (3) provides for a four year term ending December 9,
2007; (4) entitled Mr. Legere to a $2.7 bonus payable on the Effective Date (which was paid in December 2003); (5) entitled Mr. Legere to an initial grant of options to purchase not less than 0.69 percent of the fully diluted shares of New
GCLs common stock (including dilution due to conversion of preferred shares), such options to vest in full upon termination of Mr. Legeres employment by the Company without cause or upon Mr. Legeres death,
disability or resignation for good reason (as such quoted terms are defined in the agreement; such terms being collectively referred to as Designated Terminations); (6) provides for the payment of severance to Mr.
Legere in the event of a Designated Termination in an amount ranging from one to three times the sum of Mr. Legeres base salary and target annual bonus, depending on the date of such termination, plus certain other benefits and payments; and
(7) entitles Mr. Legere to reimbursement (on an after-tax basis) for certain excise taxes should they apply to payments made to Mr. Legere by the Company.



Mr. Legeres right to an initial grant of stock options was satisfied by the issuance to him of 325,000 such options on December 9, 2003. These
options are included in the 2,199,000 options referred to in Note 25.



On January 15, 2004, Mr. Legere received a $0.53 retention plan payment as part of the $22 in aggregate retention payments made to employees of Successor.



31. SEGMENT REPORTING



The Company is a global provider of internet and long distance telecommunications facilities and related services supplying its customers with global
point to point connectivity and, through its GMS subsidiary, providing cable installation and maintenance services. The Companys two reportable segments are telecommunications services and installation and maintenance services.

GLOBAL CROSSING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

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



33. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



Restricted stock unit grant:



On March 8, 2004, the Company awarded 1,173,375 restricted stock units to employees, officers and members of the Board of Directors under the Global
Crossing 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units vest and convert into common shares of New GCL over a period between one and five years, depending on the level of the employee. 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, will be amortized to stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.



Retaining Citigroup to review GMS strategic alternatives:



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. Management of the Company has determined that GMS should continue to be classified, as a continuing operation in the
consolidated financial statements as the criteria for discontinued operations treatment as outlined in SFAS No. 144 has not been met. In the event of a sale of GMS, any net proceeds received by the Company, after settlement of liabilities and deal
costs, would be required to be used to repay the New Senior Secured Notes.



State of Liquidity



At June 30, 2004, the
Companys available liquidity consisted of $139 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, including $53 related to GMS. Upon consummation of the sale of GMS to Bridgehouse Marine Ltd. (Bridgehouse) on August 13, 2004, all cash held
by GMS 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 Liquidity Management Limited Liability Company, a subsidiary of ST Telemedia
(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 annual report on Form 10-K/A, $41
of the $71 have 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, 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, 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. 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 annual report on Form 10-K/A, 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.
