Item 8.01 Other Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided to update certain unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information that was included in filing made by Level 3 Communications, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “Level 3” refer to Level 3 Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information gives effect, as described below, to:

 

    the acquisition of WilTel Communications Group, LLC (“WilTel”) on December 23, 2005;

 

    the issuance by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Level 3 Financing, Inc. of $150 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2011 and $250 million of 12.25% Senior Notes due 2013 on March 14, 2006;

 

    the issuance by Level 3 Financing, Inc. of $300 million of 12.25% Senior Notes due 2013 on April 6, 2006; and

 

    the underwritten public offering of 125,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and concurrent offering of the Company’s 3.5% convertible senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million, and assumes, in each case, no exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment options (together, the “Offerings”).

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not give effect to (i) the Company’s acquisition of ICG Communications, Inc. (“ICG Communications”), (ii) the Company’s pending acquisitions of TelCove, Inc. (“TelCove”) and Looking Glass Networks Holdings Co., Inc. (“Looking Glass”), (iii) the intended uses of the net proceeds of the Offerings or (iv) the proposed amendment and restatement of the Level Financing, Inc. secured credit facility.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data supplements the pro forma financial information that was included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2006 and should be read in conjunction therewith.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2005 gives effect to the acquisition of WilTel and each of the note issuances referred to above as though each such transaction occurred on January 1, 2005.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the three months ended March 31, 2006 gives effect to each of the note issuances referred to above as though each such transaction occurred on January 1, 2005.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2006 presents the effects of the issuance of $300 million of 12.25% Senior Notes due 2013 on April 6, 2006 and the Offerings as though the issuance and the Offerings occurred on March 31, 2006.

The pro forma earnings per share amounts in the pro forma information have not been adjusted for the Company’s common stock offering because, as the Company has not made a final decision regarding the ultimate uses of the net proceeds of such offering, such net proceeds are not reflected in pro forma adjustments in the income statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily and should not be assumed to be an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.
