FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WARNING

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 with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
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, volatility of
Qwest's stock price, intense competition in the communications services market,
changes in demand for Qwest's products and services, dependence on new product
development and acceleration of the deployment of advanced new services, such as
broadband data, wireless and video services, which could require substantial
expenditure of financial and other resources in excess of contemplated levels,
rapid and significant changes in technology and markets, adverse changes in the
regulatory or legislative environment affecting Qwest's business and delays in
Qwest's ability to provide interLATA services within its 14-state local service
territory, failure to maintain rights of way, and failure to achieve the
projected synergies and financial results expected to result from the
acquisition of U S WEST timely or at all and difficulties in combining the
operations of the Registrant and U S WEST. This Current Report on Form 8-K
includes 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.
