Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Employee Benefits Committee

Qwest Communications International Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Qwest Savings & Investment Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i-schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2006, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management and has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

QWEST SAVINGS & INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

Note 1: Plan Description

The following is a brief description of the Qwest Savings & Investment Plan (“QSIP” or the “Plan”) and provides general information only. Participants and all others should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan was established to provide a convenient way for eligible employees to save on a regular and long-term basis. The Plan is a defined contribution plan and covers substantially all of the employees of Qwest Communications International Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Qwest” or the “Company”).

The Plan is subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Benefits under the Plan are not insured or guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

Significant Plan Amendments

Effective August 24, 2005, the Plan was amended to limit a participant to no more than two loans outstanding at any time.

The Plan was amended on December 13, 2006 in the following respects:

 

   

For distributions made from the Plan due to deaths occurring after March 31, 2007, non-spouse beneficiaries may elect direct rollovers of Plan balances to individual retirement accounts (IRAs);

 

   

Effective January 1, 2007, participants may repay a Plan loan in full at any time during the term of the loan; however, participants may no longer make a one-time loan payoff through payroll withholding; and

 

   

Effective January 1, 2007, the Plan clarifies that the Company’s Employee Benefits Committee or its delegates have the authority to use all lawful process, including litigation, to recover overpayments to participants and beneficiaries.

Eligibility, Contributions, and Vesting

Management employees are eligible to enter the Plan immediately on their hire date and are automatically enrolled at 3% of their eligible compensation, which percentage they can change at any time. Occupational employees are eligible to enter the Plan after completion of three months of service with the Company. Management and occupational employees may designate up to 25% of their eligible compensation as contributions to the Plan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

Management participant contributions, up to a maximum of 3% of eligible compensation, are matched by the Company at 100% beginning immediately upon a participant’s hire date. Occupational participant contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation, are matched by the Company at 81% beginning after a participant completes one year of service. The Company does not match management participant contributions in excess of 3% of eligible compensation and does not match occupational participant contributions in excess of 6% of eligible compensation.

A management participant is 100% vested in the Company’s matching contributions immediately upon entry into the Plan. An occupational participant becomes 100% vested in the Company’s matching contributions upon completion of three years of service with the Company. Participant contributions may be made on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, or on a combination of both. As provided in Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), pre-tax employee contributions were limited to $15,000 and $14,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

All Company matching contributions have been designated as participant-directed for financial reporting purposes because participants have the ability to direct the investment of these contributions.

The Plan permits participants who have reached age 50 to make additional elective contributions up to certain annual maximum amounts established in the Code. The maximum amount for these additional participant elective contributions was $5,000 and $4,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Investment Advice

Participants have access to investment advice for directing their Plan investments through CitiStreet Advisors LLC (“CitiStreet”).

Plan Merger

The OnFiber Communications 401(k) Plan (“OnFiber Plan”) and related net assets of approximately $5 million were merged into the QSIP in December 2006. All participant account balances in the OnFiber Plan were transferred into the QSIP.

Investment Options

Participants in the Plan may invest their Plan accounts in a number of investment options, which are briefly described below. The descriptions below are not, and are not intended to be, complete descriptions of each investment option’s risk and investment objective and strategy.

Participants are provided with more complete descriptions of the investment options, including risk, through the Plan’s prospectus.

 

 

Interest Income Fund – This fund emphasizes relatively stable, predictable income by investing in high-quality investment contracts and other fixed income investments with a diversified group of insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

 

Bond Fund – This fund is designed to offer the investor long-term preservation of capital while providing greater current income and yield than stable value or money market funds by investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of fixed-income instruments of varying maturities using multiple investment managers.

 

 

Conservative Asset Allocation Fund – This fund seeks to provide current income and short-term stability of capital by investing in a diverse mix of securities with a target mix of 40% in stocks and 60% in bonds.

 

 

Moderate Asset Allocation Fund – This fund provides an investor with a more balanced approach to income preservation and long-term growth potential by investing in a diverse mix of securities with a target mix of 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds.

 

 

Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund – This fund focuses on long-term growth of capital by investing in a diverse mix of securities with a target mix of 80% in stocks and 20% in bonds.

 

 

U. S. Stock Fund – This fund seeks to provide long-term growth by mirroring both the composition and performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

 

 

U.S. Small/Mid Cap Stock Fund – This fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by investing in small and mid-sized United States companies using multiple investment managers.

 

 

International Stock Fund – This fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and income by investing primarily in the stocks of companies domiciled outside the United States using multiple investment managers.

 

 

Qwest Shares Fund – This fund seeks to provide investment returns linked to the performance of Qwest common stock. This is an undiversified common stock investment. Concentrating investments in any undiversified investment, including common stock, is a high-risk investment strategy.

 

 

Personal Choice Retirement Account (“PCRA”) – This is a separate brokerage account made available through Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. and offers access to a wide range of investment opportunities including mutual funds and most common stocks and bonds listed on major United States exchanges.

The Plan assets held under these investment options are summarized in Schedule I.

Loans

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their Plan accounts. Loans are made available to participants based upon 50% of the participant’s vested account balance, less any portion allocated to an alternate payee, up to a maximum of $50,000. Except under certain provisions, Plan loans provide for periodic repayments over a period not to exceed five years (or fifteen years for residential loans) at an interest rate determined by the Company’s Employee Benefits Committee. Participants may also make lump-sum repayments at any time following the date of the issuance of the loan. Since August 24, 2005, participants have been limited to no more than two outstanding Plan loans at any time.

Trust and Recordkeeping Services

State Street Corporation (“State Street”) is the Trustee for the Plan. CitiStreet LLC (“CitiStreet”) is the Recordkeeper for the Plan.

Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated November 24, 2004 that the Plan is qualified and that the trust established under the Plan is tax-exempt under the applicable sections of the Code.

The Plan has been amended since November 24, 2004. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, and, therefore, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan continues to be qualified, and the related trust continues to be tax-exempt as of December 31, 2006.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s Plan account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s matching contributions and investment gains and charged for investment losses and an allocable share of Plan expenses. Plan accounts are unit-valued on a daily basis.

Annual additions are defined as participant’s contributions and the Company’s matching contributions. Aggregate annual additions under the Plan and all other plans sponsored by the Company are limited to the lesser of 100% of eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan, or the annual additions limit pursuant to Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code of $44,000 and $42,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Payment of Benefits

Upon retirement, termination of employment or death, each participant or beneficiary is entitled to receive amounts from the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Participants also may make in-service voluntary withdrawals and hardship withdrawals if certain criteria are met.

Benefit payments may be in the form of a lump sum or other distribution forms in accordance with the options provided in the terms of the Plan.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

Participant Distributions

Participant distributions are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Plan’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires the Plan’s management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The financial statements reflect the retroactive adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contacts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the “FSP”). As required by the FSP, the statement of net assets available for benefits presents investment contracts at fair value as well as an additional line item showing an adjustment for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented on a contract value basis and was not affected by the adoption of the FSP. The adoption of the FSP did not impact the amount of net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2005.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The values of investments, including investments within the Qwest DB/DC Master Trust, are determined as follows: Qwest common stock is valued on the basis of the closing sales price as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on December 31, 2006 and 2005; and other securities listed on recognized United States and international stock exchanges are valued on the basis of the last published sales price on December 31, 2006 and 2005. If no sales were made on those dates, values are based on the price on the immediately preceding day on which sales were made.

Over-the-counter securities and government obligations are valued based on the bid prices on December 31, 2006 and 2005 from published sources where available and, if not available, from other sources considered reliable. The fair value of commingled funds is based on the quoted market prices of the underlying securities. If no sales were made on those dates, values are based on the price on the immediately preceding day on which sales were made.

The Plan has entered into six contracts with six banks or insurance companies. These contracts are included in the Interest Income Fund and are reported at fair value of the underlying investments under the contract and adjusted to contract value,

QWEST SAVINGS & INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

calculated as principal plus reinvested interest. These contracts are fully benefit-responsive, meaning that the terms of the Plan allow for withdrawals from the investment contract at contract or book value for payment of participant initiated transactions.

Interest rates on the contracts are either fixed rates for the term of the contract or are reset quarterly or monthly based on the terms of the contract. The estimated fair value of the contracts was $743 million and $751 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This compares to contract values of $749 million and $754 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Investment contracts with fully benefit-responsive wrappers are reported together since the value of the wrappers is typically insignificant to the related underlying investment contracts. A wrapper is a contract issued by a bank or insurance company and backed by a portfolio of high quality fixed income securities held in a trust. The contract requires the issuer to utilize book value accounting which absorbs market value fluctuations and provides participants with a stable return.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the average crediting interest rates on these contracts were 5.08% and 4.50%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the average annual yield earned on these contracts was 4.90% and 4.60%, respectively. All wrapper contracts provide for a minimum crediting rate of 0%.

Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. These events include: (1) termination of the Plan; (2) a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plan; (3) the Plan sponsor electing to withdraw from a wrapper contract in order to switch to a different investment provider; or (4) if the terms of a successor plan do not meet the wrapper contract issuer’s underwriting criteria for issuance of a clone wrapper contract. Management believes the events described above that could result in the payment of benefits at market value rather than contract value are not probable of occurring in the foreseeable future.

Examples of events that would permit a wrapper contract issuer to terminate a wrapper contract upon short notice include the Plan’s loss of its qualified status, un-cured material breaches of responsibilities or material and adverse changes to the provisions of the Plan. If one of these events was to occur, the wrapper contract issuer could terminate the wrapper contract at the market value of the underlying investments.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits as net appreciation in fair value of investments and are determined as the difference between fair value at the beginning of the year (or date purchased during the year) and selling price or year end fair value.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is accrued when earned. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.

Note 3: Investments

The following table presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets:

At the end of 2006, the Plan owned 100% of the interest in the net assets of the MT. During the year, QAM revised the investment strategy for the Pension Plan such that the Pension Plan’s participation in the MT was no longer necessary. The Pension Plan may participate in the MT in future years should QAM determine that the MT provides an appropriate investment vehicle for Pension Plan assets.

The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the MT is based on the value of the Plan’s interest in the MT at the beginning of the year, plus actual contributions and allocated investment income, and less actual distributions and allocated administrative expenses. The MT’s net investment results and administrative expenses are allocated to the participating plans in proportion to each plan’s relative share of the fair value of net assets of the MT at each allocation date. The amounts allocable for the year are as follows:

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

The Plan’s share of the MT’s net investment income was $67 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The net appreciation in the fair value of investments in the MT was predominately in corporate common stocks (88%) for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 5: Forfeitures

When certain participants terminate employment with the Company, any non-vested portion of their Plan account that represents past Company matching contributions are forfeited. Forfeited participant balances are used to reduce future Company contributions or to pay administrative expenses of the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2006, forfeitures of $80,251 were used to reduce employer contributions.

Company contributions for the year ended December 31, 2006 are shown net of forfeitures applied. Unapplied forfeitures were $14,051 and $61,152 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note 6: Plan Termination

In the event that the Plan is terminated, subject to compliance with certain conditions set forth by ERISA, the Plan provides that participant accounts that are less than 100% vested will become 100% vested and that the net assets will be distributed to account owners in an amount equal to their respective interests in those assets.

Note 7: Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

For Form 5500 purposes, amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to the respective period end, but not yet paid as of that date. However, in accordance with GAAP, benefit withdrawals are recorded when paid.

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits and benefits paid to participants per the financial statements to net assets available for benefits per Form 5500 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

Note 9: Related-Party Transactions

The Plan invests in certain common collective trusts managed by the Plan’s various investment managers; therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. In addition, the Plan has significant investments in Qwest common stock, which qualify as party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are covered by exemptions and are allowed under federal laws and regulations.

Note 10: Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan has a significant concentration of investments in Qwest common stock. The increase in the value of the Qwest common stock held by the Plan was $165 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

As described in Note 1, the Plan provides participants with various investment options. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as significant world events, interest rate, credit, foreign currency, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that these changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

The Plan invests in certain commingled funds, separate accounts and mutual funds. These funds may invest in derivative securities, including but not limited to futures, options, swaps and forward contracts. These derivative securities are primarily used for the purpose of managing currency risk, gaining market exposure, and reducing transaction costs. Credit risk exists with respect to certain of these instruments.

Legal Matters

Settlement of Consolidated ERISA Action

Seven putative class actions brought against Qwest purportedly on behalf of all participants and beneficiaries of the Plan (including predecessor plans) were consolidated into a consolidated action in federal district court in Colorado. Other defendants in this action include current and former directors of Qwest, former officers and employees of Qwest and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, or Deutsche Bank (formerly doing business as Bankers Trust Company). These suits also purported to seek relief on behalf of the Plan. The first of these actions was filed in March 2002. Plaintiffs asserted breach of fiduciary duty claims against Qwest and others under ERISA alleging, among other things, various improprieties in managing holdings of Qwest stock in the Plan from March 7, 1999 until January 12, 2004. Plaintiffs sought damages, equitable and declaratory relief, along with attorneys’ fees and costs and restitution. Counsel for plaintiffs indicated that the putative class would seek billions of dollars of damages.

On April 26, 2006, Qwest, the other defendants, and the putative class representatives entered into a Stipulation of Settlement that, when implemented, will settle the consolidated ERISA action against Qwest and all defendants. No parties admitted any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Qwest deposited $33 million in cash into a settlement fund in connection with the settlement. Pursuant to the

QWEST SAVINGS & INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

Stipulation of Settlement, Qwest also agreed to pay, subject to certain contingencies, the amount (if any) by which the Plan’s recovery from the settlement of the consolidated securities action described below is less than $20 million. Deutsche Bank deposited $4.5 million in cash into a settlement fund to settle the claims against it in connection with the settlement. Qwest received certain insurance proceeds as a contribution by individual defendants to this settlement, which offset $10 million of Qwest’s $33 million payment. In January 2007, the district court issued an order approving the settlement and certifying a settlement class on behalf of current and former participants in and beneficiaries of the Plan who owned, bought, sold or held shares or units of the Qwest Shares Fund, U S WEST Shares Fund or Qwest common stock in their Plan accounts from March 7, 1999 until January 12, 2004.

The amount, if any, of the Plan’s recovery from the partial settlement of the consolidated securities action is uncertain and subject to certain contingencies. It is possible that the Plan’s recovery in the consolidated securities action will exceed $20 million. It is also possible that the Plan will not recover any amount in the event that partial settlement is not implemented as a result of the appeal described below.

An independent fiduciary was retained to act on behalf of the Plan with respect to the Plan’s participation in the settlement of the consolidated ERISA action. The independent fiduciary determined that the settlement was reasonable to the Plan and therefore did not object to the settlement. The specific amount the Plan will receive in the ERISA settlement is unknown and subject to certain contingencies.

Other

The Plan is a class member in two other class action lawsuits that are or were pending against Qwest (In re Qwest Communications International Inc. Securities Litigation and Brody v. Hellman, et al). Independent fiduciaries were retained to act on behalf of the Plan with respect to the Plan’s participation in the settlements of these actions, which settlements are more fully described in Qwest’s public filings. For each matter, the respective independent fiduciary determined that it is in the best interests of the Plan to participate in the settlement.

In the Brody matter, in December 2005, the court approved the settlement of the class action. The Plan is awaiting notification of the amount and receipt of its allocation from the settlement proceeds.

In the In re Qwest Communications International Inc. Securities Litigation matter, the court issued an order in September 2006 approving the settlement and certifying a settlement class on behalf of purchasers of Qwest publicly traded securities between May 24, 1999 and July 28, 2002. If implemented, the settlement will resolve and release the individual claims of the class representatives and the claims of the settlement class they represent against Qwest and all defendants except Joseph Nacchio, Qwest’s former chief executive officer, and Robert Woodruff, Qwest’s former chief financial officer. Messrs. Nacchio and Woodruff have appealed that order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

Qwest is also involved in various other legal matters that are more fully described in its public filings, including various securities actions alleging violations of federal securities laws. While Qwest continues to defend vigorously against these matters the matters described above and other legal matters relating to Qwest present

significant risk to Qwest and therefore to the value of the Plan assets invested in Qwest stock. The ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain. Thus, Qwest can give no assurances as to the impacts on Qwest’s or the Plan’s financial results or financial condition as a result of these matters. The ultimate resolution of these matters may have a material adverse effect on Qwest’s and the Plan’s financial position.
