During June 1999, the Company acquired a right of use of capacity in a
  fiberoptic submarine cable system for a total commitment of $45.0 million. Of
  the total commitment, $18.0 million was settled in cash in June 1999.

During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company issued shares of common
  stock for notes receivable amounting to approximately $7.9 million.

During April 2000, the Company amended its 1998 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan
  (see Note 7) resulting in a new measurement date. The Company consequently
  reduced accrued salaries and related benefits and deferred income and
  compensation by approximately $5.3 million to reflect the stock price at the
  new measurement date. The Company also reclassified approximately $7.7 million
  of accrued salaries and related benefits and deferred income and compensation
  to Class B Common Stock as a result of the amendment.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
of Infonet Services Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Correspondingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. All normal, recurring
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2000. The results of operations
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001.

  The Company's fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday
nearest to March 31. For simplicity of presentation, the Company has described
the 52-week period ended March 31, 2000 as the year ended March 31, 2000, and
the 13-week periods ended July 2, 1999 and June 30, 2000 as the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000, respectively.

Note 3. Divestitures

On June 30, 2000 the Company sold its interest in its subsidiary Infonet
Software Solutions Inc. in Canada for $1.5 million in cash, resulting in a loss
of $480,000.

Note 4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share", basic earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 and 2000 were computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented.

  At June 30, 1999 and 2000 the Company's outstanding stock options represented
the only form of potential common stock. Using these shares to calculate diluted
earnings per share had an antidilutive effect on reported loss per share at June
30, 1999 and no effect on basic earnings per share at June 30, 2000.
Consequently, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same amount
for the three month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and June
30, 2000 is higher than normal due to the provision of a valuation allowance
against deferred tax assets and, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2000,
an inability to deduct certain incentive stock option charges.

Note 6. Segment Information

  The Company conducts business in two operating segments: country
representatives or Direct Sales Channels ("Direct") and Alternate Sales Channels
("Alternate"). Both these segments generate revenues from providing customers
with a complete global networking solution.

  The Company has organized its operating segments around differences in
distribution channels used to deliver its services to customers. These segments
are managed and evaluated separately because each segment possesses different
economic characteristics requiring different marketing strategies.

  The accounting policies adopted for each segment are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company's management evaluates performance based
on operating contribution, where segment revenues are reduced by those costs
that are allocable to the segments. Costs relating to operating the Company's
core network, and non-allocable general, administrative, marketing and overhead
costs, including income tax expense, are not charged to the segments.
Accordingly, neither assets related to the core network, nor their associated
depreciation expense are allocated to the segments.

  The Company accounts for intersegment transactions on the same terms and
conditions as if the transactions were with third parties.


         See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

Note 7. Stock Incentive Plans

  On April 18, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2000 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan and the 2000 International Employee Stock Purchase Plan
which authorizes the Company to issue rights to the employees of the Company,
to purchase up to a combined total of 1.0 million shares.

  Additionally, on April 18, 2000 the Company's Board of Directors approved an
Omnibus Stock Plan ("the Omnibus Plan") which authorizes the Company to grant
or issue options, restricted stock and performance awards, dividend equivalents,
deferred stock and stock payments.

  Included in the Omnibus Plan is the 2000 Stock Option Plan, which authorizes
the Company to issue options to employees of the Company and subsidiaries,
directors, affiliates and consultants. During the three months ended June 30,
2000, approximately 1.7 million options were granted at market value on the
grant date and are being accounted for under the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation." The Omnibus Plan authorizes grants of up to
3,000,000 options.

  On April 25, 2000, the Company amended its 1998 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan
(the "SARs Plan") to provide for a tandem feature which allows for the
settlement of the SARs with shares of Class B common stock as an alternative to
a cash settlement.  The amended SARs Plan provides that the SARs may be settled
with stock or cash at the sole discretion of the Company.  In accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28 "Accounting for Stock
Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Options or Award Plans," the
Company is accounting for the tandem award as equity instruments and the plan,
as amended, as a fixed plan under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The amendment to the SARs plan
created a new measurement date resulting in a credit to compensation expense of
approximately $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2000. The
remaining unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $11.6 million at
June 30, 2000 will be amortized ratably over the remaining vesting period at a
rate of approximately $824,000 per quarter through December 31, 2003.

  During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company granted 120,000
additional options under the 1999 Stock Option Plan bringing the total grants
issued and outstanding under this plan to approximately 10.2 million.
Additionally, approximately 96,000 options were terminated under the 1998 Stock
Option Plan.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

  In connection with its outsourcing agreement with AUCS, the Company also
entered into a management agreement with AUCS under which the Company is
entitled to a management fee equal to 1.5% of the total consolidated revenues of
AUCS, up to an aggregate maximum of euro 17.1 million over the term of the
contract or approximately $16.2 million based on the exchange rate at June 30,
2000. The Company is also entitled to an incentive payment equal to 100% of the
amount by which the cumulative sum of AUCS EBITDA losses over the three-year
term of the management agreement is less than euro 295.3 million or
approximately $280.3 million at June 30, 2000. However, the Company must rebate
to AUCS 25% of the aggregate amount by which the cumulative sum of AUCS EBITDA
losses during the initial three-year term exceed euro 295.3 million, or
approximately $280.3 million, subject to a cap equal to the aggregate management
fee. As a result of the then uncertainty related to the amount of cumulative
EBITDA losses of AUCS over the term of the contract, no management fees due to
the Company were recognized as revenue prior to the three months ended June 30,
2000. During the three months ended June 30, 2000 approximately $1.9 million of
management fees were recognized as revenue.

Note 9. Long-Term Obligations

  In April 2000, the Company repaid all of its debt outstanding under the
Tranche B Term Loan, amounting to $49.6 million. As a result of this early
extinguishment, maximum borrowing available to the Company under the Senior
Secured Credit Facility were reduced by $50.0 million. The write-off of
unamortized debt issuance costs associated with this repayment in the amount of
$502,000, net of tax, is reported as an extraordinary item in the three month
period ended June 30, 2000.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

  In July 2000 the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the
authorized awards of stocks under the Omnibus Plan from 3.0 million to 6.0
million and under the 2000 Stock Purchase Plan from 1.0 million to 2.0 million.

  In July 2000, the Company purchased 1.0 million shares of preferred stock in
a company for $2.5 million in cash.

remaining 51% in its subsidiary Network Telephony Corporation ("NTC"). This
increases the Company's ownership in the subsidiary to 100%. The Company had
been consolidating the financial statements of NTC due to its substantial
financial control.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

     Revenues increased $68.5 million, or 80%, from $85.7 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $154.2 million in the three months ended June 30,
2000.  Excluding revenues resulting from a significant outsourcing agreement
entered into on September 30, 1999, revenues increased $27.3 million, or 32%,
over the prior year period from $85.7 million to $113.0 million.  The overall
increase in revenues was due to increases of $34.3 million, or 338%, in Other
Communications Services, $19.9 million, or 44%, in Network Services, and $15.0
million, or 58%, in Consulting, Integration and Provisioning Services.  The
majority of growth in sales of Network Services came from increased sales of
Frame Relay and remote access services.  Other Communications Services and
Consulting, Integration and Provisioning Services increases included
approximately $32 million and $9 million, respectively, in revenues from
outsourcing services. Excluding outsourcing services revenues, Other
Communications Services, which includes X.25 transport services, increased $2.4
million or 24%. Excluding outsourcing services revenues, Consulting, Integration
and Provisioning Services increased $5.7 million or 22%.

     Revenues from country representatives increased $23.6 million, or 31%, from
$76.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $100.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000. Approximately $6 million of the increase
resulted from outsourcing services.  Although we decreased the number of our
country representatives from 56 as of June 30, 1999 to 55 as of June 30, 2000,
we saw increased revenue that was derived largely through the growth of existing
country representatives.  The number of our country representative clients
increased by 150, or 13%, from 1,160 as of June 30, 1999 to 1,310 as of June 30,
2000.  Revenues from our alternate sales channels also grew $44.9 million, or
489%, from $9.2 million to $54.1 million.  Approximately $35 million of the
increase resulted from outsourcing services.  Our alternate sales channel
partners resold our suite of services to a net additional 957 clients, including
807 new outsource customers, from 191 clients as of June 30, 1999 to 1,148
clients as of June 30, 2000.

     In terms of revenues billed on a regional basis, the majority of our growth
was in the EMEA region, which increased $54.7 million, or 119%, from $45.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $100.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000.  Approximately $41 million of this revenue growth
was in Europe as a result of outsourcing services; the balance of the increase
is due to the addition of new clients and increases in sales of services to
existing clients.  Revenues billed in the Asia Pacific region grew $3.6 million,
or 44%, from $8.4 million to $12.0 million over the three month periods.
Revenues billed in the Americas grew $10.1 million, or 32%, from $31.5 million
to $41.6 million over the three month periods.

     Country Representative Compensation increased $37.8 million, or 239%, from
$15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $53.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000.  Approximately $32 million of this increase
resulted from outsourcing services revenues.  The balance of this expense grew
in line with the related revenue.

     Bandwidth and Related Costs increased $16.9 million, or 115%, from $14.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $31.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was directly related to higher network
leasing expenses associated with increasing the capacity of our network and our
newly introduced ATM capability. The usage growth reflects additional client
port growth and increased capacity per port. Lease expense, the largest
component of bandwidth and related costs, increased $15.9 million, or 152%, from
$10.4 million to $26.3 million over the three month periods. Amortization of
purchased capacity increased $2.0 million, from $246,000 to $2.2 million over
the three month periods.

     Network Operations increased $2.0 million, or 14%, from $14.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $16.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000. Stock related compensation charges of $509,000 offset by a one-
time credit of $1.6 million were recorded in the three months ended June 30,
2000. The stock related compensation credit resulted from an amendment to one of
the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Depreciation expense related to
network equipment increased $1.9 million, or 82%, from $2.3 million to $4.2
million over the three month periods. The remaining increase was related to the
increased costs associated with our network management, operations and support
activities, personnel costs, and other network operations expenses.

     Selling, General and Administrative increased $6.0 million, or 14%, from
$41.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $47.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000.  Stock related compensation charges of $3.4
million offset by a one-time credit of $3.6 million were recorded in the three
months ended June 30, 2000.  The stock related compensation credit resulted from
an amendment to one of the Company's stock-based compensation plans.  Our sales
support expenses for multinational support activities decreased $400,000 from
$17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $16.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000. In addition, personnel-related expenses
increased by $2.1 million, or 15% from $14.6 million to $16.8 million over the
three month periods due to increased sales and marketing efforts to increase our
business.

     Administrative expense, excluding stock related compensation, increased by
$2.0 million from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $6.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000.  The increase was primarily
due to payroll and related expense.

     Operating Income (Loss) grew by $5.8 million, from $(543,000) for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 due to the factors stated above.

     Other Income (Expense) increased $11.8 million, from expense of $176,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to income of $11.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in
interest income over the period of $12.2 million from $491,000 to $12.7 million.
The increased interest income resulted from the investment of IPO proceeds
received in December 1999. The increase in Other Income (Expense) was also
impacted by an increase in interest expense of $1.8 million resulting from
borrowings under the senior secured credit facility. Other, net for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 included foreign exchange gains of $1.8 million
related to the settlement of communication lines purchases.

     Provision (Credit) for Income Taxes increased $7.9 million from an expense
of $707,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $8.6 million for the
three months June 30, 2000. The effective tax rate is higher in the three month
period ended June 30, 2000 due primarily to non-deductible incentive stock
option charges.

     Income (Loss) before Extraordinary Item increased $9.6 million from $(1.4)
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $8.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 as a result of the factors described above.

     Extraordinary Item, Net of Tax for the three month period ended June 30,
2000 represents the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with
the $49.6 million of long-term debt which was repaid prior to its due date
during the three month period ended June 30, 2000.

     Net Income (Loss) increased $9.1 million from $(1.4) million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 as a result of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended June 30,
2000 was $18.8 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$295,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999. This resulted primarily
from a decrease in network communications liability of $34.7 million and an
increase in accounts receivable of $26.2 million, partially offset by an
increase in accounts payable of $19.7 million. Accounts receivable and payable
increases relate to the expansion of our client base in Europe. Cash flows from
operating activities were further impacted by increased net income of $9.1
million, increased income taxes payable of $6.6 million, and increased
depreciation and amortization of $3.3 million due to the expansion of our World
Network and newly introduced ATM capability. Net cash used in investing
activities for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $259.8 million compared
to $23.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in purchases of short-term investments of $285.8
million, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sale of short-term
investments of $38.9 million. Cash used in financing activities for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 was $50.5 million compared to cash provided by
financing activities of $49.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
This change was the result of an increase in repayments of long-term obligations
of $49.5 million, payments on long-term bandwidth obligations of $27.0 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2000, and a decrease in proceeds from
issuance of long-term obligations of $23.0 million.

As of June 30, 2000, the Company had $611.8 million of cash and cash equivalents
and working capital of $690.4 million.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Reference is made to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2000.

     As of June 30, 2000, we were primarily exposed to the following currencies:
the Euro, the British pound, the German mark, and the Italian lira. Based upon a
hypothetical ten-percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar across all currencies,
the potential losses in future earnings due to foreign currency exposures would
have been approximately $1.1 million as of that date.
