ITEM 5. Other Events
On July 19, 2000, the Registrant reported financial results for the second
quarter of 2000 for itself and for U S WEST, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("U S
WEST"), which it acquired on June 30, 2000. A copy of the press release
announcing the same is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains projections and other
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These
statements may differ materially from actual future events or results. Readers
are referred to the documents filed by Qwest and U S WEST with the SEC,
specifically the most recent reports which identify important risk factors that
could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking
statements, including potential fluctuations in quarterly results, dependence on
new product development, rapid technological and market change, failure to
maintain rights of way, financial risk management and future growth subject to
risks, adverse changes in the regulatory or legislative environment, and failure
to achieve the synergies and financial results expected to result from the
acquisition of U S WEST timely or at all. This Current Report on Form 8-K and
the attachments include or incorporate by reference analysts' estimates and
other information prepared by third parties for which Qwest assumes no
responsibility. Qwest undertakes no obligation to review or confirm analysts'
expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
