                          PART III -- NARRATIVE SUMMARY

     Iridium World Communications Ltd., Iridium LLC, Iridium Operating LLC,
Iridium Capital Corporation, Iridium IP LLC, Iridium Roaming LLC and Iridium
Facilities Corporation (collectively, the "Registrants") were unable to file
the Registrants' joint Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 (the "Quarterly Report") within the prescribed time period for
two reasons. First, the Registrants could not complete the Registrants'
quarterly financial statements required to be contained therein without
unreasonable effort or expense because they have been unable to complete the
process for valuing long lived assets, specifically the IRIDIUM System. Second,
the Registrants filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11
of the Federal Bankruptcy Code on August 13, 1999. Accordingly, the Registrants
are unable to provide the information required by many of the items of Form
10-Q with necessary clarity without unreasonable effort or expense.

     PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION -- Significant Change in Operating Results

     The Registrants' financial statements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 have not been finalized. The Registrants anticipate that they
will report a significant net loss for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 as a result of a FAS 121 charge on long lived assets, specifically the
IRIDIUM System, and that the reported net loss will be significantly more than
the $60.4 million, $507.1 million and $505.3 million net losses reported for
Iridium World Communications Ltd., Iridium LLC and Iridium Operating LLC,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1999 (the previous period).
The Registrants have been unable to complete the process for valuing long lived
assets and, accordingly, a reasonable estimate of results cannot be made at
this time.
