                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareowners' of Concert B.V.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareowners' equity and comprehensive
loss and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Concert, B.V. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31,
2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. 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 audit. We conducted our audit of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1.   ORGANIZATION

     DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

     Concert B.V., a private limited liability company established in Amsterdam,
     the Netherlands, on October 20, 1998, through the Concert global group of
     companies (collectively, "Concert" or the "Company"), provides global
     communications services to multi-national companies, traditional and
     emerging carriers, wholesalers and Internet service providers. Concert's
     core business offering and products include the sale of International
     Direct Dial (IDD), Select, Wholesale, Transit and other voice services,
     International Bandwidth, Data, IP and domestic services to multi-national
     customers. The ultimate parent company from inception to January 4, 2000
     was British Telecommunications plc. ("BT"). On January 5, 2000, the Company
     became jointly owned by AT&T, Corp. ("AT&T") and BT, pursuant to the
     provisions of the Framework and Closing Agreements dated October 23, 1998
     and November 22, 1999, respectively, as amended and effective for purposes
     of forming a joint venture ("The Global Venture" or "GV") on January 5,
     2000.

     As part of the GV formation, as discussed further in Note 3, BT and AT&T
     (collectively, "the Parents") contributed certain assets, liabilities and
     economic benefits and risks of certain contracts. The contribution of
     assets, liabilities and contract rights was accounted for using the
     Parents' cost basis at January 5, 2000.

     Concert's operations are separated into the following business units:
     Global Accounts ("GA"), Global Markets ("GM"), International Carrier
     Services ("ICS"), Global Products ("GP"), and Networks & Systems ("N&S").

     GA provides a named set of approximately 270 multinational corporations
     ("MNC") with global telecommunication sales and service. Customers are
     primarily in the finance, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and information
     technology industry sectors. Global Accounts' customers have a single point
     of contact with responsibility for everything from service procurement to
     problem resolution, through a Global Account Manager with a full support
     team of service network designers, field engineers and billing specialists.

     GM provides international communications services through a network of over
     50 distributors, (including the Parents) to multinational companies, and
     other business customers and institutions worldwide. Products include a
     range of Bandwidth (international private line), Data (international frame
     relay, packet and ATM services), Voice (freephone, virtual network
     services, global software-defined networks) and value-added IP ("Internet
     Protocol") services.

                    (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

     ICS is responsible for international voice traffic management and
     correspondent carrier relations for the Parents. In addition, ICS offers
     telecommunications services to traditional and emerging carriers,
     wholesalers and internet service providers worldwide. The unit manages the
     profit and loss of a wholesale voice cross-border service portfolio that
     includes international wholesale product platforms as well as switched
     transit and hubbing services.

     GP develops and manages the Concert portfolio of retail services sold by
     GA, the Parents, and other distributors. This organization creates
     innovative solutions in network-based corporate communication services.
     Emphasis is on the delivery of leading edge international services and
     applications. The functional areas in this organization include product
     management, service, marketing and strategy.

     N&S is responsible for designing, building, managing and maintaining
     Concert's global network, as well as delivering all aspects of customer
     service. The N&S unit is the interface with in-country domestic suppliers
     for access, whether with AT&T or BT in their home markets, or with local
     network providers in other countries. N&S is also responsible for the
     integration of networks, technical platforms and systems (including
     development), along with their associated processes.

     TERMINATION OF THE GV

     On October 15, 2001, AT&T, BT and Concert entered into binding agreements
     (collectively the "Termination Agreements"), which, upon closing, resulted
     in Concert's acquisition of 100% of AT&T's equity interest ("AT&T Shares")
     in Concert, in exchange for certain assets, liabilities, contracts,
     customers and other items of Concert ("Transferred Assets"). After
     completion of certain conditions, closing occurred on April 1, 2002
     ("Close" or "Closing"). Upon Closing, as consideration for the AT&T Shares,
     a portion of the assets, liabilities, contracts, customers and other
     operational items transferred to AT&T. The Transferred Assets consisted
     primarily of those items that were contributed by AT&T in connection with
     the formation of the GV, in addition to certain assets and obligations that
     were purchased, generated or developed during the operation of the GV. The
     remaining business is now wholly owned by BT.

     As a result of the April 1, 2002 transaction described above, the financial
     position, results of operations and cash flows included in these financial
     statements are not representative of the remaining Concert business from
     April 1, 2002 forward.

                    (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

     CONTINUING OPERATIONS

     In order for Concert to continue its global operations, Concert has entered
     into commercial arrangements with AT&T at Closing. The purpose of these
     arrangements is to provide Concert the ability to offer telecommunication
     services in geographic regions where Concert will no longer have the
     operating assets as a result of the movement of the Transferred Assets to
     AT&T.

     LIQUIDITY

     In accordance with the Termination Agreements, a funding plan for
     supporting the operations of the Company between October 15, 2001 and the
     Close and a series of Transition Projects that will continue post Close was
     established. With minimal exceptions, this funding plan requires the
     Parents to equally fund operations through Close and the completion of the
     Transition Projects.

     Post Close, BT confirmed that sufficient funding will be available for
     Concert to meet its financial obligations up to and through March 31, 2003.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S.) and
     include the accounts of Concert and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All
     material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
     the consolidated financial statements. Certain balances in the prior year
     have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the
     current year.

     The unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2000, the
     unaudited Statement of Operations, Shareowners' Equity and Comprehensive
     (Loss) Income and Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In
     the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
     recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
     been included.

                    (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities,
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
     the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     Concert maintains its consolidated financial statements in U.S. dollars.
     Income statement amounts are translated at average exchange rates for the
     year and assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates
     for operations that prepare financial statements in currencies other than
     the U.S. dollar. These translation adjustments are presented as a component
     of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within shareowners'
     equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in
     net (loss) income.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Concert records net revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin
     ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," and
     Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a
     Principal versus Net as an Agent", which provide guidance on the
     recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial
     statements.

     Prior to October 15, 2001, the Company reported revenue generated from MNC
     Domestic services on a gross basis. This was based upon a number of key
     facts including customer ownership, economic risk, price control and the
     Company's intent to migrate the contractual relationship from the Parents
     direct to Concert. In connection with the decision to unwind the GV, a
     number of these factors changed and the Company has concluded the
     appropriate presentation for MNC domestic sales, post October 15, 2001
     should be on a net basis.

     This change in presentation resulted in a reduction in net revenue,
     accounts receivable, operating expenses and accounts payable related party
     for the year ended December 31, 2001 of $299.

     Concert recognizes revenue from the sale of International Direct Dial
     (IDD), Select, Wholesale, Transit and other Voice services, International
     Bandwidth, Data, MNC Domestic and IP services when persuasive evidence of
     an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services are provided,
     prices are fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
     Revenue is recognized as services are provided net of amounts that will be
     neither billed nor

                    (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

     collected. Amounts invoiced to customers, including sub-sea capacity, prior
     to the relevant criteria for revenue recognition being satisfied, are
     included in deferred revenue which is included in the accompanying
     consolidated balance sheet.

     ADVERTISING

     Costs of advertising and promotions, excluding cash incentives used to
     acquire customers, are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotional
     expenses were $45 and $38 (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2001
     and 2000, respectively.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Concert considers all highly liquid investments having original maturities
     of ninety days or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
     The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment, which includes capitalized leases, are stated at
     cost, net of depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for improvements
     that significantly add to productive capacity or extend the useful life of
     an asset are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance
     are expensed as incurred.

     Expenditures for construction of network systems and other projects prior
     to the asset being ready for its intended use are reflected as construction
     in progress. Capitalized costs include costs incurred under the
     construction contracts, labor and interest. Total interest cost incurred
     for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $99 and $133
     (unaudited), respectively. Interest capitalized on construction in progress
     for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $23 and $27
     (unaudited), respectively. Costs incurred relating to the evaluation of new
     projects, prior to the date the development of the project becomes
     probable, are expensed as incurred.

     Depreciation is recorded 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 of the asset or the term of the lease.
     The following are Concert's depreciable asset categories and their
     estimated useful lives:

</TABLE>

     When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated
     depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resultant, gain or
     loss is included in other income (expense).

     INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Intangible assets include goodwill, and customer lists. Amounts contributed
     by the shareowners' as goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over
     the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination accounted
     for under the purchase method. Concert amortizes goodwill on a
     straight-line basis over 20 years. Customer lists are amortized over 5
     years. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17,
     "Intangible Assets", Concert continues to evaluate the amortization periods
     of the Company's intangible assets to determine whether events or
     circumstances warrant revised amortization periods.

     SOFTWARE DEVELOPED FOR INTERNAL USE

     Certain development costs, including external direct costs of materials and
     services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to the projects
     associated with internal-use software are capitalized in accordance with
     Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
     Software Development or Obtained for Internal Use". These costs are
     included within property and equipment and are amortized over a period of
     three years beginning when the asset is ready for its intended use. Costs
     incurred prior to technological feasibility, as well as maintenance and
     training costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31,
     2001 and 2000, Concert capitalized costs of $198 and $117 (unaudited),
     respectively, related to software development.

     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Concert recorded
     $154 and $83 (unaudited) as research and development costs for the years
     ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
     121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived
     Assets to be Disposed of", long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles and

     not be recoverable. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash
     flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived assets, related
     intangible assets and goodwill, then a loss is recognized for the
     difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the identifiable
     tangible, intangible assets and goodwill being evaluated. See note 4 for a
     discussion on asset impairments for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     SUB-SEA CABLE CAPACITY

     In connection with the formation of the GV, the Parents contributed sub-sea
     cable assets to Concert. These amounts have been recorded as Property and
     Equipment and are being depreciated over their remaining useful lives.

     In the normal course of business, Concert enters into transactions to
     acquire the right to use sub-sea cable assets or services. Dependent on the
     nature of the assets or services received, Concert accounts for the
     transaction as either a service contract or as a lease arrangement. If the
     services received do not meet the criteria of a lease, Concert accounts for
     the services received in accordance with accepted service contract
     accounting by recognizing the cost of the service offering over the term of
     the arrangement. If the assets received meet the criteria of a lease,
     Concert accounts for the arrangement in accordance with SFAS No. 13,
     "Accounting For Leases" (see note 10).

     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Concert enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risk
     of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. All foreign currency
     contracts are marked-to-market on a current basis with respective gains or
     losses recognized in other income (expense). The gains or losses on foreign
     currency contracts serve to offset (partially, or completely, depending on
     the nature of the instruments entered into in relation to the underlying
     assets) the impact of the revaluation of the underlying assets or
     liabilities (receivables or payables) that are recorded within Concert's
     financial statements in currencies other than U.S dollars.

     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     Financial instruments that potentially subject Concert to concentration of
     credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts
     receivable. Concert maintains its cash and cash equivalents with
     high-quality financial institutions which, at times, may exceed federally
     insured limits.

     Concert has accounts receivable and loans receivable from its Parents,
     which exceed 10% of the December 31, 2001 and 2000 accounts receivable and
     loans receivable balances. Receivable balances due from the Parents at
     December 31, 2001 and 2000 are $2,247 and $3,470 (unaudited), respectively.

     No other customers represented more than 10% of accounts receivable at
     December 31, 2001 and 2000.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The carrying value of Concert's financial instruments, including cash and
     cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans and interest receivable,
     accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost which
     approximates fair value due to the relative short maturities of these
     instruments.

     The fair value of Concert's long-term debt due to the Parents at December
     31, 2000 is $1,812 (unaudited).

     INCOME TAXES

     Concert, B.V. is recognized as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes,
     therefore Concert has not recorded current or deferred income taxes in the
     accompanying financial statements related to its U.S. operations. Concert's
     foreign subsidiaries recognize current and deferred income taxes using tax
     laws enacted in each local jurisdiction. Deferred taxes are recognized
     using the asset and liability approach in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
     "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method,
     deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the carrying
     amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax
     rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to
     reverse. Concert establishes a valuation allowance on net deferred tax
     assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be
     realized.

     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
     Combinations" which supercedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
     No. 16. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after
     June 30, 2001, to be accounted for under the purchase method. In addition,
     SFAS No. 141 establishes criteria for the recognition of intangible assets
     separately from goodwill. Management is in the process of evaluating what
     impact the adoption of SFAS No. 141 will have on the Company's financial
     statements.

     Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
     Intangible Assets" which supercedes APB Opinion No. 17. Under SFAS No. 142,
     goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will no longer be
     amortized, but rather will be tested for impairment upon adoption of the
     standard and at least annually thereafter. In addition, the amortization
     period of intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to
     40 years. SFAS No. 142 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2002.
     Management is in the process of evaluating the effect that this statement
     will have on the Company's financial statements.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
     Retirement Obligations". This standard requires that obligations associated
     with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets be recorded as
     liabilities when those obligations are incurred, with the amount of the
     liability initially measured at fair value. Upon initially recognizing a
     liability for an asset retirement obligation, an entity must capitalize the
     cost by recognizing an increase in the carrying amount of the related
     long-lived asset. Over time, this liability is accreted to its present
     value, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the
     related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles
     the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon
     settlement. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for
     fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management is in the process of
     evaluating the effect that this statement will have on the Company's
     financial statements.

     In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
     Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which supercedes SFAS No. 121,
     "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
     Assets to Be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 144 applies to all long-lived assets,
     including discontinued operations, and amends APB 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." Based on SFAS No. 121, SFAS No. 144
     develops one accounting model for long-lived assets that are to be disposed
     of by sale, as well as addresses the principal

     implementation issues. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that
     are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or
     fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, SFAS No. 144 expands the scope
     of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with
     operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and
     (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a
     disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 also amends Accounting Research Bulletin
     (ARB) No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements" to eliminate the
     exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to
     be temporary. SFAS No. 144 is effective for Concert as of January 1, 2002.
     Management is in the process of evaluating the effect that this statement
     will have on the Company's financial statements.


3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     A substantial portion of Concert's business is transacted between the
     Company and its Parents. The majority of the terms and conditions,
     including renewal periods and renegotiation rights applicable to those
     business transactions, have been contractually agreed between the Parents.
     Below is a summary of the transactions between Concert and its Parents and
     the amounts included from those transactions in the Consolidated Statement
     of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000:

     Revenue earned from the Parents includes the sale of IDD, Wholesale, and
     other Voice services, International Bandwidth, Data, and IP services.

     Operating expenses relate to the cost of inland domestic services, network
     service, system support, maintenance and provisioning, international
     termination charges, US and UK domestic backhaul, billing and customer
     care, certain employee related costs and other general services inclusive
     of all related tax and regulatory charges.

     Other expenses include interest income and interest expense relating to the
     Parental loans and other commercial arrangements and settlements between
     Concert and BT.

                                    ________

     As part of Concert's formation, provisions were included in the framework
     and closing agreement which required the Parents to reimburse Concert for
     certain costs under their commercial arrangements. During the years ended
     December 31, 2001 and 2000, Concert was to be reimbursed $30 and $346
     (unaudited), respectively. These amounts are recorded as a reduction of
     operating and other expenses.


     Balances included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2001
     and 2000 for transactions with each Parent are as follows:

</TABLE>

     Included within trade-third parties accounts receivable balance at December
     31, 2001 are amounts due from the Parents as part of their role as
     Concert's billing and collection service provider. In this role, the
     Parents bill and collect certain revenue streams on Concert's behalf. These
     revenues and receivables are not generated from the sale of product or
     services to the Parents and therefore, they have been classified as third
     party accounts receivable. Amounts included in the Consolidated Balance
     Sheet for such items at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are $1,266 and $1,028
     (unaudited), respectively.

     Excluded from related party trade accounts payable and accrued expenses are
     amounts due to the Parents for payments, which the Parents make to
     unrelated third parties on Concert's behalf. Such payments consist
     primarily of property and equipment purchases and net settlement payments
     to third party carriers. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, $775 and $690
     (unaudited), respectively, is included in trade third party accounts
     payables and accrued expenses for these items.

CONTRIBUTIONS UPON FORMATION

As discussed in Note 1, in connection with the GV formation, the Parents
contributed certain assets, liabilities and the economic benefits and risks of
certain contracts. The initial contributions to the GV have been accounted for
using predecessor or carryover basis.

The January 5, 2000 contributions of the Parents, including minority interest of
$44 (unaudited), are summarized below:

</TABLE>

Under the Framework Agreement, Concert receives the economic benefit and risk
associated with contracts assigned to the GV by AT&T and BT. Property and
equipment contributed by the Parents consists primarily of Trans-Atlantic and
Trans-Pacific sub-sea cable assets and related telecommunications network
equipment.

Included in the intangible and other assets contributed by the Parents is $65
(unaudited) related to rights to acquire capacity on a cable system in the Asia
Pacific region. At December 31, 2001, Concert has activated $30 of this capacity
and reclassified the balance to property and equipment, and is amortizing this
amount over 15 years. The Company has reviewed the carrying value of the
remaining cable capacity rights of $35, which will revert back to AT&T, as set
forth in the Termination Agreements (Note 1) and concluded that neither the
Company nor AT&T intends to activate this capacity. Therefore, the Company has
written off the remaining carrying value of the capacity rights and has included
the write-off within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in operating
expenses.

LOANS DUE FROM RELATED PARTIES

On December 15, 2000, Concert extended a loan facility ("BT Loan Receivable") to
BT. The BT Loan Receivable facility expires on December 15, 2003. Any
outstanding principal balance is repayable on the expiration date of the
facility. Interest is accrued monthly, based on a 365 day year, at the rate of a
three month London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 40 basis points, which
is measured at the beginning of each quarter, or 4.94% and 6.58% (unaudited) at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The principal balance of the BT Loan
Receivable was $67 and $181 (unaudited) at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Interest accrued during the facility period is payable on the
first business day of the following calendar year. During 2001, BT made
principal payments of $399 and took advances of $297. Accrued interest at
December 31, 2001 and interest income recorded during 2001 was $9 and $9,
respectively. Interest income accrued for 2000 was immaterial. Subsequent to
December 31, 2001, all amounts due under the BT Loan Receivable were paid to
Concert.

On August 30, 2000, Concert extended a loan facility ("AT&T Loan Receivable") to
AT&T. The AT&T Loan Receivable facility expires on August 30, 2003. Any
outstanding principal balance is repayable on the expiration date of the
facility. Interest is accrued monthly, based on a 360 day year, at the rate of a
three month LIBOR (on USD deposits) plus 40 basis points, which is calculated at
the beginning of each quarter, or 3.0% and 7.20% (unaudited) at December 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest accrued during the facility period is
payable on the first business day of the following calendar year. Accrued
interest at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $3 and $2 (unaudited), respectively.
Interest income recorded during 2001 and 2000 was $5 and $6 (unaudited),
respectively. The principal balance of the AT&T Loan Receivable was $80 and $126
(unaudited) at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During 2001, AT&T made
principal payments of $764 and took advances of $718. Subsequent to December 31,
2001, all amounts due under the AT&T Loan Receivable were paid to Concert.

LOANS DUE TO RELATED PARTIES

On November 29, 2001, in connection with the Termination Agreement, through a
series of transactions AT&T and BT converted to equity the outstanding amounts
of the AT&T Term Loan, BT Term Loan and amounts equal to the related accrued
interest of $1,113 and $1,008, respectively. Prior to the conversion, accrued
interest of $113 and $104 on the AT&T and BT Term Loans, respectively was paid.
Subsequent to this transaction, the AT&T and BT Term Loans were cancelled and
terminated.

During January 2000, Concert renewed a $904 term loan facility ("BT Term Loan")
with BT. The BT Term Loan, as amended, will expire on January 18, 2003. Interest
accrues daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 365 day
year, at the rate of the three month LIBOR plus 40 basis points, which is
measured at the beginning of each quarter, or 4.94% and 6.58% (unaudited) at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Accrued interest payable at December
31, 2001 and 2000 was zero and $60 (unaudited), respectively. Interest expense
recorded during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 on the BT Term Loan
was $49 and $60 (unaudited), respectively.

During January 2000, Concert entered into a $1,000 term loan facility ("AT&T
Term Loan") with a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. The AT&T Term Loan was drawn
down during January and February 2000, in separate advances totaling $1,000. The
AT&T Term Loan, as amended, will expire on January 18, 2003. Interest is accrued
daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year, at
the rate of a three month LIBOR plus 40 basis points, which is calculated at the
beginning of each quarter, or 3.00% and 7.20% (unaudited) at December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively. Accrued interest payable at December 31, 2001 and 2000
was zero and $67 (unaudited), respectively. Interest expense recorded during the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 on the AT&T Term Loan was $46 and $67
(unaudited), respectively.

The AT&T Term Loan is denominated in a currency other than the Company's
functional currency. Accordingly, the carrying value of the loan is subject to
foreign exchange rate risk. Concert recorded an unrealized foreign currency loss
on the AT&T Term Loan in the amount of $47 and $92 (unaudited) for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which is included in loss on
foreign currency transactions, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH OR ON BEHALF OF THE PARENTS

During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Parents made additional
contributions of buildings in the amount of $41 (unaudited), cash and
contribution receivable in the amount of $278 (unaudited) and other assets of $2
(unaudited). Concert also paid $52 (unaudited) of estimated income taxes on
behalf of its Parents in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations.

On July 1, 2000, Concert acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities
of AT&T Global Markets Europe ("GME") for $72 (unaudited). Of the purchase
price, $50 (unaudited) was paid during 2000 with the balance paid in 2001 and
2002. This transaction resulted in Concert acquiring the customer base, customer
lists, related receivables and

         obligations for the data and voice services provided to third parties
         by GME. The Company recorded liabilities of approximately $163
         (unaudited), accounts receivable and other assets of approximately $147
         (unaudited) and an intangible asset for the customer base of
         approximately $88 (unaudited). The Company is amortizing the
         identifiable intangible asset over five years.

         In December 2001, the Company completed negotiations to settle certain
         receivables and payables, which arose post GV formation, in dispute
         with the Parents. Against the total net unresolved disputes registered
         at December 31, 2001, Concert reserved $141 as an estimated loss in the
         accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of
         Operations. The final resolution of this issue has concluded that the
         reserves were sufficient to close all parental disputes at December 31,
         2001.

</TABLE>

         Property and equipment under capital lease is $59 at December 31, 2001
         and 2000 (unaudited) and consist primarily of sub-sea cable assets and
         related equipment. Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2001 and
         2000, related to property and equipment under capital lease, was $4 and
         zero (unaudited), respectively. These assets are being amortized over
         the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease term.

         Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment
         for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 amounted to $602 and
         $470 (unaudited), respectively.

         In connection with the execution of the Termination Agreements
         discussed in Note 1, it has been determined that certain of the
         Company's development projects will no longer be

     continued. Accordingly, certain development assets have been abandoned. A
     charge of $35 was recorded for these projects during 2001 and is included
     in operating expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
     Additionally, as a result of the decision to unwind the GV, certain assets
     have been identified which remain functional, and are required in the GV's
     operations, but which will not be required by either Parent after Close. As
     of October 15, 2001, the date of the Termination Agreements, management has
     accelerated the depreciation on these assets such that they will be fully
     depreciated at Close. Accelerated depreciation of approximately $22 was
     recorded during the year ended December 31, 2001.

     During 2001, events and circumstances within the telecommunications
     industry occurred, including the October 15, 2001 announcement by AT&T and
     BT to terminate the GV, which indicated that the carrying amount of the
     Company's long-lived assets and related intangible assets may not be
     recoverable. Accordingly, the Company prepared an undiscounted cash flow
     analysis to determine if an impairment existed at the balance sheet date.

     The analysis was prepared assuming Concert would continue in existence as
     constituted before the signing of the Termination Agreement dated October
     15, 2001. The cash flows used in this hypothetical model assumed the assets
     were to be held and used and was provided by former Concert B.V. employees,
     now working for either AT&T or BT and may not be realized by the Company,
     AT&T or BT.

     The total future undiscounted cash flows in this analysis were less than
     the carrying amount included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet
     of the underlying long-lived assets and intangible assets at December 31,
     2001. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $2,535 was recorded in the
     Consolidated Statements of Operations. This loss represents the amount by
     which the carrying amount of the long-lived assets, related intangible
     assets and goodwill being evaluated exceeded the fair value of the
     underlying assets. The estimated fair value of the long-lived assets at
     December 31, 2001 was determined through the use of discounted cash flow
     analysis.

     Given the nature of the Company's assets and operations, the cash flow
     analysis was prepared at the entity level, which is the asset level for
     which the lowest level of cash flows was identifiable.

     As a result, the Company has written off goodwill prior to making any
     reduction of the carrying amounts of the impaired long-lived assets and
     other identifiable intangible assets. As the impairment loss exceeds the
     carrying amount of goodwill, at December 31, 2001, goodwill totaling $690
     has been fully written off. The remaining portion of the impairment

     loss, has been allocated to customer lists and then among the Company's

     Amortization related to intangible assets for the years ended December 31,
     2001 and 2000 amounted to $63 and $55 (unaudited), respectively.

     As described in Note 4, the Company recorded an impairment loss during the
     year ended December 31, 2001 which resulted in the reduction of the
     intangible asset values to zero.

     During 2000, the Company purchased $20 (unaudited) of prepaid capacity
     rights for cash included in Intangible and other assets on the Consolidated
     Balance Sheets. During 2001, the financial conditions of the provider
     indicated probable non-performance of the commitment by the provider. The
     Company wrote-off the prepayment of $20 and included the result in
     operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
     year ended December 31, 2001.

6.   SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY

     The authorized share capital amounts of the Company as of December 31, 2001
     and 2000 consists of 300,000 of each Class A and Class B ordinary shares
     with an authorized par value of NLG 150. Class A ordinary share issued
     capital amounts to $6 and consists of 125,101 ordinary shares with a par
     value of NLG 100 per share. Class B ordinary share issued capital amounts
     to $24 and consists of 125,101 ordinary shares with a par value of NLG 400
     per share. Notwithstanding the difference in par value, the Class A shares
     and the Class B shares have identical rights.

     On November 29, 2001, in connection with the Termination Agreements, the
     Company issued one Class A share, with a par value of NLG 100 to AT&T in
     consideration for the outstanding AT&T Term Loan and related accrued
     interest (as described in Note 3) of $1,113. The Company also issued one
     Class B share, with a par value of NLG 400 to BT in consideration for the
     outstanding BT Term Loan and related accrued interest (as described in Note
     3) of $1,008.

     On January 5, 2000, in connection with the formation of the GV, Concert
     B.V. became the ultimate parent company of the Global Venture. Concurrent
     with the formation of the GV, BT retained their ownership of 125,100 Class
     B shares, and 125,100 Class A shares were issued to AT&T for its
     contribution.

7.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     401(k) PLAN

     Concert maintains a defined contribution retirement savings plan under
     Section 401(k) of the United States of America Internal Revenue Code. This
     plan, covering substantially all US-based employees meeting the minimum age
     and service requirements, allows participants to defer a portion of their
     annual compensation on a pre and post-tax basis. Under the plan, Concert
     will match 66.7% of every dollar the employee contributes up to a maximum
     of 6% of the employee's annual base salary. The company matches both
     employee pre and after-tax contributions. Concert contributions to the plan
     for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 totaled $11 and $11
     (unaudited), respectively.

     PENSION PLAN

     Concert maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan ("Cash
     Balance") covering the majority of its US-based employees. Concert also
     maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"). The Plans
     were effective January 5, 2000.

     The Cash Balance plan is a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan.
     Employees are eligible to participate in the Cash Balance plan if they are
     compensated by salary or commission or by a combination of both. Retirement
     benefits are normally payable upon reaching age 65. Pension trust
     contributions are made to trust funds held for the sole benefit of plan
     participants. Each participant is assigned a nominal cash balance account
     that grows by pay credits and interest credits. Benefits are paid in either
     a lump sum or annuity form of payment based upon the election of the
     employee.

     The following rates and assumptions were used in the measurement of the

</TABLE>

     In connection with Concert's Reduction in Force Programs (see Note 8),
     curtailment accounting was applied as of December 31, 2001 with respect to
     the 743 participants scheduled to terminate service with a vested benefit
     during 2002 as part of the Reduction in Force Program. The resultant
     increase in the projected benefit obligation is treated as a curtailment
     loss and recognized immediately as a component of 2001 expense.

     Certain Concert employees previously employed by BT or AT&T continue to
     participate in their respective parent's cash balance pension plans. These
     employees are not eligible to participate in the Concert cash balance plan,
     and Concert makes payments to the parents on behalf of these employees.
     These payments are included in operating expenses on the Consolidated
     Statement of Operations.

8.   EMPLOYEE TERMINATION CHARGES

     On April 5, 2001, Concert announced a Reduction in Force program. As a
     result of this program, Concert terminated 389 employees across various
     levels throughout the Company. In connection with the Termination
     Agreements described in Note 1, Concert announced an additional Reduction
     in Force program. This program called for the termination of 1,770
     employees to be effected in three phases. All employees effected by the
     reduction in force program were notified of their termination date and were
     advised of the amount of their termination benefits on or before December
     31, 2001. The Company recorded a charge for employee termination benefits
     of $172 in 2001 related to these activities. This amount is included in
     operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

     At December 31, 2001, the Company had $136 included in accrued employee
     related costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheet related to employee
     termination benefits and expects to pay these amounts through 2002.

9.   INCOME TAXES

     The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the years ended December
     31, 2001 and 2000 are comprised of the following:

                                                                  (Unaudited)

</TABLE>

     Deferred income tax liabilities are taxes that Concert expects to pay in
     future periods. Similarly, deferred income tax assets are recorded for
     expected reductions in taxes payable in future periods. Deferred income
     taxes arise because of differences in the book and tax basis of certain
     assets and liabilities.

     The following is a summary of the significant U.S. and foreign items giving
     rise to components of Concert's deferred tax assets and liabilities at
     December 31, 2001 and 2000:

</TABLE>

     At December 31, 2001 and 2000, Concert had net operating loss carryforwards
     of $14 and $200 (unaudited), respectively, generated primarily in the
     United Kingdom. Due to UK net operating loss carryover statutory
     provisions, it is unlikely the Company will recognize the benefit of these
     losses.

     The change in valuation allowance reflects the determination that a tax
     benefit related to the net operating losses will not be recognized.

10.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the normal course of business, Concert is subject to proceedings,
     lawsuits and other claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties,
     and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, Concert is
     unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or
     financial impact which may exist with respect to these matters at December
     31, 2001. Concert believes that after final disposition, any monetary
     liability or financial impact beyond that provided for at December 31, 2001
     will not be material to Concert's operations, financial position or cash
     flows.

     Concert leases office facilities, network facilities, airplanes, and copier
     equipment under operating leases that expire in various years through 2013.
     In addition, Concert leases capacity on telecommunication cables classified
     as capital leases. Future minimum annual payments under capital leases and
     non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms of one year or more
     consist of the following at December 31, 2001:

     Expenses for operating leases, including month to month leases, amounted to
     $118 and $111 (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
     respectively. Concert also incurs costs with its Parents for accommodation
     expenses, under separate commercial agreements. Rent expense, under these
     agreements amounted to $44 and $42 (unaudited) for the years ended December
     31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In addition, Concert has month to month
     lease agreements for shared network accommodations with third parties. Rent
     expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 under these
     agreements was $26 and $49 (unaudited), respectively.

11.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     In the normal course of business, Concert uses derivative financial
     instruments for purposes other than trading. Concert does not use
     derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. These
     instruments are limited to foreign currency exchange contracts. Foreign
     currency exchange contracts are used to manage Concert's exposure to
     changes in currency exchange rates related to foreign-currency-denominated
     transactions. In 2001, this consisted principally of British pounds
     sterling, European Union currency ("EURO") and Japanese Yen contracts
     related to international carrier settlements, intercompany loans and
     reimbursement from European distribution channels. Concert has established
     policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and
     monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

     By their nature, derivative instruments involve risk, including the credit
     risk of non-performance by counterparties. At December 31, 2001, it is
     management's opinion that there is no significant risk of loss in the event
     of non-performance of the counterparties to these

     financial instruments. Concert controls its exposure to credit risk through
     credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. Concert does not
     have any significant exposure to any individual counter-party, nor any
     major concentration of credit risk related to any derivative financial
     instruments.

     Foreign currency forward contracts amounted to $324 and $157 (unaudited) to
     purchase foreign currencies and $247 and $63 (unaudited) to sell foreign
     currencies at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, resulting in net
     unrealized gains of $4 and $2 (unaudited) for the years ended December 31,
     2001 and 2000, respectively. All of these contracts mature in 2002. Gains
     and losses on these contracts are recorded in earnings in other income
     (expense), net and offset gains and losses from the revaluation of the
     underlying assets and liabilities recorded in currencies other than the
     Company's functional currency.
