LEUCADIA NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which reflect all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items or items discussed
herein) that management believes necessary to present fairly results of
interim operations, should be read in conjunction with the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (including the Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies) included in the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, which are
included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended by
Form 10-K/A, for such year (the "2004 10-K"). Results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of
operations. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 was
extracted from the audited annual financial statements and does not include
all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") for annual financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), establishes a fair value method for
accounting for stock-based compensation plans, either through recognition
in the statements of operations or disclosure. As permitted, the Company
applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the
statements of operations for its stock-based compensation plans. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been recorded in the
statements of operations consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the
Company's results of operations would not have been materially different
from that reported. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission
amended the effective date of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), from the first interim or
annual period after June 15, 2005 to the beginning of the next fiscal year
that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS 123R on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes
and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB
Statement No. 3" ("SFAS 154"), which is effective for accounting changes
and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles,
and changes the accounting and reporting requirements for a change in
accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior
periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle
unless doing so is impracticable. APB 20 previously required that most
voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net
income of the period in which the change occurred the cumulative effect of
changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 also requires that a
change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived,
nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate
effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 carries forward
without change the guidance in APB 20 for reporting the correction of an
error in previously issued financial statements, a change in accounting
estimate and a change in reporting entity, as well as the provisions of
SFAS 3 that govern reporting accounting changes in interim financial
statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 154 on
its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect that the impact
will be material.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" ("FIN 47"), which is effective
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. FIN 47 clarifies that the
term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No.
143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", refers to a legal
obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing
and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or
may not be within the control of the entity. Under FIN 47, an entity is
required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset
retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably
estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset
retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred - generally upon
acquisition, construction, or development and/or through the normal
operation of the asset. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
FIN 47 on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect that
the impact will be material.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to reflect as
discontinued operations a commercial real estate property and the Company's
geothermal power business, which were sold during the fourth quarter of
2004, and to be consistent with the 2005 presentation.

2. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), the Company
evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying
value of such assets may not be recoverable. When testing for impairment,
the Company groups its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities
at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely
independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (or asset
group). The determination of whether an asset group is recoverable is based
on management's estimate of undiscounted future cash flows directly
attributable to the asset group as compared to its carrying value. If the
carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the undiscounted cash
flows, an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the
carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated fair value.

As more fully described in the 2004 10-K, on January 31, 2005, SBC
Communications Inc. ("SBC") announced that it would buy AT&T Corp., and
announced its intention to migrate the services provided by WilTel to the
AT&T network. Since SBC is WilTel's largest customer, accounting for 70% of
the Network segment's 2005 telecommunications revenues, the Company
concluded that the SBC announcement is an event which requires the Company
to assess the carrying value of WilTel's long-lived assets for impairment,
principally property and equipment. Since the event which gave rise to the
impairment review occurred on January 31, 2005, and is not reflective of a
condition that existed as of December 31, 2004, the assessment of
impairment was performed as part of the preparation of the Company's
financial statements for the first quarter of 2005. Based on the
assumptions described below, the Company concluded that an impairment
charge was not required.

The Company determined that WilTel's fiber optic communications network is
the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent
of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The asset group is
primarily composed of fiber optic cable, conduit, rights of way, optronics
and certain buildings and related improvements. These assets are used
together to generate joint cash flows. The Company has determined that the
primary asset of the group is fiber optic cable, which has a remaining
weighted average useful life of 16 years. The fiber optic cable is
considered to be the primary asset of the group as it is the most
significant component of the group, the principal asset from which the
asset group derives its cash flow generating capacity, would cost the most
to replace and without which most of the assets in the group would not have
been acquired. The determination of the primary asset of the asset group is
significant because estimated cash flows used to test for recoverability
are based on the estimated remaining useful life of the primary asset. The
carrying value of the asset group that was tested for impairment was
approximately $920,000,000.

The Company utilized WilTel's internal estimates of future cash flows from
all of its customers over the remaining useful life of the primary asset.
These assumptions reflected estimated future operating results and
considered all relevant facts and circumstances. The economics and term of
WilTel's future relationship with SBC were the most significant assumptions
in the analysis. These assumptions were based upon the best information
available; however, when the analysis was performed during the first
quarter of 2005, negotiations between SBC and WilTel were not yet completed
with respect to a transition services and pricing agreement and other
matters. As more fully described below, WilTel and SBC subsequently entered
into new agreements, and WilTel's new estimate of the cash flows that will
be received from SBC pursuant to these agreements is greater than the
amounts assumed for the first quarter impairment analysis. However, if
WilTel's actual cash flows in the future are materially less than the
amounts used for its impairment analysis, or other events occur which have
a material adverse affect on WilTel's business or ability to generate
future cash flows, the Company would have to prepare a new impairment
analysis and may conclude that this asset group is impaired.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

3. On June 15, 2005, WilTel and SBC reached an agreement, pursuant to which
the existing alliance agreements between WilTel and SBC were terminated and
a new Master Services Agreement and a Termination, Mutual Release and
Settlement Agreement were entered into. In exchange for the termination of
the existing alliance agreements and the exchange of mutual releases,
WilTel will receive aggregate cash payments from SBC of $236,000,000. Of
this amount, $11,000,000 is payable on January 3, 2006, and the balance is
payable in twelve equal monthly installments beginning on the earlier of
April 30, 2006 or the closing or termination of SBC's agreement to acquire
AT&T.

Under the new Master Services Agreement, SBC agreed to purchase WilTel
services at the fixed prices that had been in effect on June 15, 2005, with
minimum purchase commitments for on-net services of $600,000,000 for the
period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007, and $75,000,000 for
the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009. If SBC fails to
spend the required $600,000,000 or $75,000,000 during the respective
designated periods, SBC will pay the amount of any deficiency and receive a
credit equal to such amount to be used for future services. If SBC spends
more than $600,000,000 during the initial three-year period, any excess
will be credited toward the $75,000,000 commitment in the second period.
SBC's minimum purchase commitments exclude access and off-net costs.
However, for financial reporting purposes these costs are included as
revenues, with offsetting amounts reported in telecommunications cost of
sales, on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. As of June
30, 2005, approximately $120,000,000 of the minimum purchase commitments
have been satisfied. Minimum purchase commitments are considered satisfied
only when SBC has paid for the service provided, not when the service is
recognized as revenue for financial reporting purposes.

WilTel will also have the opportunity to earn up to an additional
$50,000,000 by meeting quality of service performance criteria in 2006 and
2007. In addition, the Master Services Agreement provides that $18,000,000
of the $25,000,000 that SBC paid to WilTel in 2004 to pre-fund capital
expenditures will be applied as a credit against amounts that would
otherwise be payable for services during the second half of 2005, with the
balance to be retained by WilTel. The amount received during 2004 was not
recognized as income and has been reflected as a liability on the Company's
consolidated balance sheet.

WilTel will recognize the $236,000,000 of cash payments and the pre-funded
capital expenditures that is not credited to SBC ($7,000,000) as other
non-operating income, which is not a component of segment profit from
operations. These amounts will be recognized as other income over time
proportionally with the ratio of the minimum purchase commitments that have
been satisfied subsequent to entering into the agreements with SBC, to the
remaining minimum purchase commitment at June 15, 2005. For the periods
ended June 30, 2005, $1,100,000 of this amount was reflected in other
income. The quality of service performance criteria will be recognized as
operating revenue during 2006 and 2007 as it is earned.

SBC's January 2005 announcement to migrate its business from WilTel is
considered an event which could reasonably be expected to have a "material
adverse effect" as defined in WilTel's amended credit facility, and while
WilTel can no longer access its $25,000,000 revolving credit facility it
has no impact on the $358,100,000 of term loans under the agreement.
However, the credit agreement provides for an event of default if there is
any amendment, supplement, modification or termination of any WilTel
contract or agreement that has had or could reasonably be expected to
result in a material adverse effect on WilTel (as defined in the credit
agreement). The Company does not believe that the new SBC agreements have
had or could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect
on WilTel, particularly inasmuch as the Company believes that these new
agreements, along with WilTel's existing liquidity, will provide WilTel
with sufficient funds to pay its long-term debt obligations as they become
due; as a result, the Company continues to classify the term loans as
long-term debt. However, the Company has agreed with SBC that if WilTel's
debt under its credit agreement becomes due and payable, and if WilTel does
not have sufficient funds to pay the debt, the Company will advance to
WilTel the incremental funds needed to pay the debt.

4. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax asset
to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. If the Company
were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax asset
in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment would
increase income in such period. Similarly, if the Company were to determine
that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax asset
in the future, an adjustment would be charged to income in such period. The
Company also records reserves for contingent tax liabilities based on the
Company's assessment of the probability of successfully sustaining its tax
filing positions.

As more fully discussed in the 2004 10-K, at acquisition the Company
established a valuation allowance that reserved for substantially all of
WilTel's net deferred tax asset, because the Company could not demonstrate
it would have the future taxable income necessary to realize that asset.
The Company's projections of consolidated taxable income and its assessment
of the need for a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset had
been significantly influenced by the fact that it had not yet generated
positive cumulative pre-tax income over a period of years on a pro forma
combined basis with WilTel, and the uncertainty of WilTel's relationship
with SBC in the future. During the second quarter of 2005, WilTel entered
into new agreements with SBC that significantly reduced uncertainty
surrounding WilTel's future profitability. Additionally, taxable income
from the Company's other operations and investments, when added to WilTel's
on a pro forma combined basis, have now achieved positive cumulative
pre-tax income for the Company. The Company has prepared updated
projections of future taxable income and has concluded that it is more
likely than not that it will have future taxable income sufficient to
realize a portion of the Company's net deferred tax asset, and in June 2005
reversed $1,110,000,000 of the valuation allowance as a credit to income
tax expense. After the adjustment, the remaining balance in the valuation
allowance as of June 30, 2005 is approximately $950,000,000. For the
remainder of 2005, the Company does not expect to record any material
federal income tax provision; however, in future years the Company will
record income tax provisions equal to its effective income tax rate, unless
there is a further adjustment to the valuation allowance (see below).

The Company's conclusion that a portion of the deferred tax asset was more
likely than not to be realizable was strongly influenced by its historical
ability to generate significant amounts of taxable income. The Company's
estimate of future taxable income considered all available evidence, both
positive and negative, about its current operations and investments,
included an aggregation of individual projections for each material
operation and investment, incorporated the assumptions used by WilTel for
its impairment analysis (updated for the new SBC agreements) and included
all future years (through 2024) that the Company estimated it would have
available net operating loss carryforwards. Over the projection period, the
Company assumed that its readily available cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities would provide returns equivalent to the returns
expected to be provided by the Company's existing operations and
investments, except for certain amounts assumed to be invested on a
short-term basis to meet the Company's liquidity needs. The Company
believes that its estimate of future taxable income is reasonable but
inherently uncertain, and if its current or future operations and
investments generate taxable income greater than the projected amounts,
further adjustments to reduce the valuation allowance are possible.
Conversely, if the Company realizes unforeseen material losses in the
future, or its ability to generate future taxable income necessary to
realize a portion of the deferred tax asset is materially reduced,
additions to the valuation allowance could be recorded.

For the periods ended June 30, 2004, the Company has recorded a net federal
income tax provision on income from continuing operations, inclusive of a
federal tax provision netted against equity in income of associated
companies. The provision for federal income tax on income from continuing
operations is fully offset by federal income tax benefits recognized on
losses in other comprehensive income and losses from discontinued
operations. As a result, when all components of income are aggregated there
is no net federal income tax expense recorded for the periods ended June
30, 2004. Income taxes for the 2004 periods also include a provision for
state income taxes.

5. Results of operations for the Company's segments are reflected from the
date of acquisition. Except for the telecommunications segments of WilTel,
the primary measure of segment operating results and profitability used by
the Company is income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes
and equity in income (losses) of associated companies. For WilTel's
segments, segment profit from operations is the primary performance measure
of segment operating results and profitability. WilTel defines segment
profit from operations as income before income taxes, interest expense,
investment income, depreciation and amortization expense and other
non-operating income and expense.

The following information reconciles segment profit from operations of the
Network and Vyvx segments to the most comparable GAAP measure, which is
used for all other reportable segments, for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

Several subsidiaries provide certain healthcare and other benefits to
certain retired employees under plans which are currently unfunded. The
Company pays the cost of postretirement benefits as they are incurred.
Amounts charged to expense were not material in each of the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

12. Per share amounts were calculated by dividing income (loss) by the sum of
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, for diluted
earnings (loss) per share, the incremental weighted average number of
shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants for the
periods they were outstanding. In addition, the calculations of diluted
earnings (loss) per share assume the 3 3/4% Convertible Notes had been
converted into common shares for the periods they were outstanding and
earnings increased for the interest on such notes, net of the income tax
effect. The number of shares used to calculate basic earnings (loss) per
share amounts was 107,652,000 and 106,320,000 for the three month periods
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 107,633,000 and 106,295,000
for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share
amounts was 115,513,000 and 112,948,000 for the three month periods ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 115,509,000 and 107,217,000 for
the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

14. In February 2005, the plastics manufacturing segment acquired the assets of
NSW, LLC U.S. ("NSW") for a purchase price of approximately $26,800,000,
subject to working capital adjustments, and recorded an aggregate of
$10,200,000 of intangible assets and $8,200,000 of goodwill. NSW has a
manufacturing and distribution facility in Roanoke, Virginia, which
manufactures a variety of products including produce and packaging nets,
header label bags, case liners and heavy weight nets for drainage and
erosion control purposes. The NSW intangible assets will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over the following average useful lives: customer
relationships - 16 years, trademarks and tradename - 19 years, patents - 15
years and other intangible assets - 5 years.

The bankruptcy plan (the "Plan") of ATX Communications, Inc. and certain of

Plan. ATX is an integrated communications provider that offers local
exchange carrier and inter-exchange carrier telephone, Internet, high-speed
data and other communications services to business and residential
customers in targeted markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest
regions of the United States. ATX has entered into agreements to sell its
Midwest region business and its internet service provider business; as of
the date of acquisition these businesses were held for sale in the net
amount of $14,500,000.

In December 2003, the Company purchased all of ATX's debt obligations under
its senior secured credit facility for $25,000,000. As contemplated by the
Plan, in exchange for its investment in the credit facility the Company
received 94.4% of the new common stock of the reorganized ATX and a new
$25,000,000 senior secured note which bears interest at 10%. In addition,
the Company provided ATX $5,000,000 of debtor-in-possession financing and
$25,000,000 of exit financing to fund bankruptcy related payments and
working capital requirements. On behalf of ATX, the Company also obtained
cash collateralized letters of credit totaling $14,700,000 issued for the
benefit of one of ATX's vendors. The requirement to provide the letters of
credit will decline over a period of years, commencing in 2006. The
aggregate purchase price for ATX was $56,300,000, which includes all the
financing provided to ATX by the Company and acquisition expenses.

Based upon its preliminary allocation of the purchase price, the Company
has recorded ATX intangible assets of $20,400,000 and goodwill of
$4,800,000. The intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over the following average useful lives: trademarks - 10 years,
customer relationships - 7 years, software - 5 years, and other intangibles
- 2 years. The Company will not finalize its allocation of the purchase
price until an independent third-party appraisal of the fair value of the
assets acquired is completed. When finalized, any changes to the
preliminary purchase price allocation could result in changes to property
and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and/or goodwill. However, the
Company does not expect that its final allocation of the purchase price
will be materially different from the preliminary allocation.

In May 2005, the Company acquired Idaho Timber Corporation and certain
affiliated entities ("ITC") for total cash consideration of $138,900,000,
including working capital adjustments and expenses. The Company has
consolidated ITC from the date of acquisition. ITC was a privately held
corporation that is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, which "remanufactures"
dimensional lumber, home center boards, 5/4" radius-edge decking and a
number of specialized products. ITC operates ten facilities located
throughout the United States, and its revenue is principally derived from
the purchase of bundles of low-grade lumber on the spot market, and the
conversion of that lumber into higher-grade lumber through sorting and
minor rework.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

Based upon its preliminary allocation of the purchase price, the Company
has recorded ITC intangible assets of $46,200,000 and goodwill of
$3,400,000. The intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over the following average useful lives: customer relationships - 10
years, and other intangibles - 1 year. The Company will not finalize its
allocation of the purchase price until an independent third-party appraisal
of the fair value of the assets acquired is completed. When finalized, any
changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation could result in
changes to property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and/or
goodwill. However, the Company does not expect that its final allocation of
the purchase price will be materially different from the preliminary
allocation.

Unaudited pro forma operating results for the Company, assuming the
acquisitions of ATX and ITC had occurred as of the beginning of each period
presented below are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Prior to its acquisition by the Company, during 2005 ITC recorded aggregate
expenses of $6,500,000 for consulting and advisory fees, legal and
accounting fees, incentive compensation and other items all related to
ITC's efforts to sell the company. Substantially all of these costs are
included in their historical results for the second quarter of 2005.

Pro forma adjustments principally reflect the preliminary allocation of the
purchase price to the difference between the fair value and book value of
property and equipment, resulting in increases or decreases to historical
depreciation expense, and the allocation to identifiable intangible assets
discussed above, resulting in increased amortization expense. For ATX, the
pro forma adjustments also include the elimination of net reorganization
items, which principally resulted from a gain recognized upon the discharge
of ATX indebtedness in bankruptcy, fresh start accounting adjustments and
bankruptcy related professional fees, and the reversal of historical
interest expense related to indebtedness that was discharged in bankruptcy.
The increase or (decrease) to historical income from the pro forma
adjustments is as follows (in thousands):

15. In May 2005, the Company sold its 716-room Waikiki Beach hotel and related
assets for an aggregate purchase price of $107,000,000, before closing
costs and other required payments. After satisfaction of mortgage
indebtedness on the hotel of $22,100,000 at closing, the Company received
net cash proceeds of approximately $73,000,000, and recorded a pre-tax gain
of $56,600,000 (reflected in discontinued operations). Historical operating
results for the hotel have not been material.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

16. In May 2005, an entity in which the Company has a non-controlling equity
interest ("Union Square") sold its interest in an office complex located on
Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and the Company recognized a pre-tax gain
of $71,900,000. The gain is reported in the caption equity in income of
associated companies. The Company's share of the net proceeds is
$72,800,000, all of which was received except for $1,000,000 that remains
in escrow and is expected to be received during the fourth quarter of 2005.

17. In May 2005, the Company's 72.1% owned subsidiary, MK Resources Company
("MK"), entered into a share purchase agreement with the Company and Inmet
Mining Corporation ("Inmet"), a Canadian-based global mining company, that
provides for Inmet's acquisition of 70% of MK's interest in Cobre Las
Cruces, S.A. ("CLC"), a wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary of MK that holds
the exploration and mineral rights to the Las Cruces copper deposit in the
Pyrite Belt of Spain. Inmet will acquire the interest in CLC in exchange
for 5,600,000 newly issued Inmet common shares. The Inmet shares will have
the benefit of a registration rights agreement; however, the shares may not
be transferred or sold to a third party until the earlier of four years
from the closing date or the date on which the Company is no longer
obligated under the guarantee discussed below. Although the Company does
not currently believe it will record any loss on the sale at closing, any
gain or loss recorded by the Company would be based upon the fair value of
the Inmet stock on the date it is received.

Closing of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
the Company's acquisition of the outstanding MK common shares that it
doesn't already own, the execution of project financing commitments with
third parties to provide for no less than $255,000,000 (including interest
during construction), a 66 million euro bridge facility and other customary
closing conditions. The Company has entered into a merger agreement with MK
to acquire the remaining MK common shares for aggregate merger
consideration of approximately 333,500 of the Company's common shares. MK
has scheduled a shareholder meeting to vote on the merger on August 9,
2005, and since the agreement with Inmet requires the Company to vote its
shares in favor of the merger, approval is assured. The Company and Inmet
have also committed to provide financing to CLC which is estimated to be
$159,000,000, of which the Company's share will be 30% ($32,300,000 of
which has already been loaned), and the Company has agreed to provide a
payment guarantee for 30% of the third party project financing until such
time as the completion tests to be specified under the project financing
have been achieved.

18. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company's banking and lending
subsidiary sold its remaining customer deposits and surrendered its
national bank charter.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations.

The following should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2004
10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six month period ended June 30, 2005, net cash was provided by
operations principally as a result of the collection of a receivable related to
a former partnership interest, as discussed below, distributions from associated
companies and a decrease in the Company's investment in the trading portfolio.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, net cash was provided by
operations principally as a result of distributions from associated companies,
the pre-funding by SBC of certain of WilTel's capital expenditures, the refund
of excess federal income tax payments, accrued but unpaid interest on debt and
an increase in accounts payable due to the timing of payments.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company's readily available cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, excluding amounts held by its regulated subsidiary and
non-regulated subsidiaries that are parties to agreements which restrict the
payment of dividends, totaled $1,668,900,000. This amount is comprised of cash
and short-term bonds and notes of the United States Government and its agencies
of $939,500,000 (56.3%), the equity investment in White Mountains Insurance
Group, Ltd. of $236,600,000 (14.2%) (which can be sold privately or otherwise in
compliance with the securities laws and have the benefit of a registration
rights agreement) and other publicly traded debt and equity securities
aggregating $492,800,000 (29.5%).

In June 2005, the Company's 8 1/4% senior subordinated notes, which had an
outstanding principal amount of $19,100,000, matured. The Company repaid these
notes and the related accrued interest with readily available cash resources.

As of June 30, 2005, WilTel had aggregate cash and investments of $289,600,000,
an increase of $49,900,000 from December 31, 2004. The increase during this
period reflects WilTel's positive operating results, reduced by WilTel's capital
expenditures of $44,000,000. Substantially all of WilTel's assets have been
pledged to secure its outstanding long-term debt, principally to secure its
obligations under its credit agreement ($358,100,000 outstanding as of June 30,
2005) and its mortgage debt ($59,900,000 outstanding at June 30, 2005).

On June 15, 2005, WilTel and SBC reached an agreement, pursuant to which the
existing alliance agreements between WilTel and SBC were terminated and a new
Master Services Agreement and a Termination, Mutual Release and Settlement
Agreement were entered into. In exchange for the termination of the existing
alliance agreements and the exchange of mutual releases, WilTel will receive
aggregate cash payments from SBC of $236,000,000. Of this amount, $11,000,000 is
payable on January 3, 2006, and the balance is payable in twelve equal monthly
installments beginning on the earlier of April 30, 2006 or the closing or
termination of SBC's agreement to acquire AT&T. SBC also agreed to minimum
purchase commitments for WilTel services and other performance based payments
which are discussed in results of operations below.

SBC's January 2005 announcement to migrate its business from WilTel is
considered an event which could reasonably be expected to have a "material
adverse effect" as defined in WilTel's amended credit facility, and while WilTel
can no longer access its $25,000,000 revolving credit facility it has no impact
on the $358,100,000 of term loans under the agreement. However, the credit
agreement provides for an event of default if there is any amendment,
supplement, modification or termination of any WilTel contract or agreement that
has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect
on WilTel (as defined in the credit agreement). The Company does not believe
that the new SBC agreements have had or could reasonably be expected to result
in a material adverse effect on WilTel, particularly inasmuch as the Company
believes that these new agreements, along with WilTel's existing liquidity, will
provide WilTel with sufficient funds to pay its long-term debt obligations as
they become due; as a result, the Company continues to classify the term loans
as long-term debt. However, the Company has agreed with SBC that if WilTel's
debt under its credit agreement becomes due and payable, and if WilTel does not
have sufficient funds to pay the debt, the Company will advance to WilTel the
incremental funds needed to pay the debt.


18
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.

As more fully discussed in the 2004 10-K, WilTel plans to modify its operations
in light of the anticipated loss of its major customer, including expanding its
customer base and evaluating opportunities for consolidation. However, given the
current economic condition of the telecommunications industry as a whole, WilTel
does not believe it will be able to fully replace the revenues and profits
generated by the SBC agreements in the near future, if ever. The Company
believes there may be opportunities to increase Network's value through
consolidation opportunities, and it is actively investigating those
possibilities.

WilTel is a party to various legal actions and claims, and has reserved
$20,900,000 for the satisfaction of all litigation. Certain of these actions
relate to the rights of way licensed to WilTel in connection with the
installation of its fiber-optic cable and seek damages from WilTel for failure
to obtain all necessary landowner consents. Additional right of way claims may
be asserted against WilTel. The Company does not believe that the ultimate
resolution of all claims, legal actions and complaints will have a material
adverse effect upon WilTel's results of operations, although unfavorable
outcomes could significantly impact WilTel's liquidity.

As more fully described in the 2004 10-K, current operating activities at the
banking and lending segment have been concentrated on maximizing returns on its
investment portfolio, collecting and servicing its remaining loan portfolios and
discharging deposit liabilities as they come due. During 2005, the Company's
banking and lending subsidiary filed a formal plan with the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency to liquidate its operations and surrender its
national bank charter. In the third quarter of 2005, the Company's banking and
lending subsidiary sold its remaining customer deposits and surrendered its
national bank charter. As of June 30, 2005, the banking and lending segment had
outstanding loans of $3,500,000 and deposit liabilities of $15,900,000.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company redeemed its interest in Pershing Square,
L.P. ("Pershing"), a limited partnership that is authorized to engage in a
variety of investing activities. The total amount due from Pershing of
$71,300,000 was included in trade, notes and other receivables, net in the
Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004. Such amount was
received in cash during the first quarter of 2005.

In February 2005, the plastics manufacturing segment acquired the assets of NSW
for approximately $26,800,000, subject to working capital adjustments. NSW has a
manufacturing and distribution facility in Roanoke, Virginia, and for its year
ended December 31, 2004 generated annual sales of approximately $20,000,000.
Products manufactured by NSW include produce and packaging nets, header label
bags, case liners and heavy weight nets for drainage and erosion control
purposes. The funds for the acquisition were provided from the Company's readily
available cash resources.

In April 2005, the Company acquired ATX upon the effectiveness of its bankruptcy
plan for approximately $56,300,000, including expenses, of which $25,300,000 was
spent in 2005 and the balance was spent during 2003 and 2004. ATX is an
integrated communications provider that offers local exchange carrier and
inter-exchange carrier telephone, Internet, high-speed data and other
communications services to business and residential customers in targeted
markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States.
ATX has entered into agreements to sell its Midwest region business and its
internet service provider business; as of the date of acquisition these
businesses were held for sale in the net amount of $14,500,000.

In May 2005, the Company acquired ITC for total cash consideration of
$138,900,000, including working capital adjustments and expenses. ITC
"remanufactures" dimensional lumber, home center boards, 5/4" radius-edge
decking and a number of specialized products and operates ten facilities located
throughout the United States. Its revenue is principally derived from the
purchase of bundles of low-grade lumber on the spot market, and the conversion
of that lumber into higher-grade lumber through sorting and minor rework. The
funds for the acquisition were provided from the Company's readily available
cash resources.


19
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.

In May 2005, the Company sold its 716-room Waikiki Beach hotel and related
assets for an aggregate purchase price of $107,000,000 (before closing costs and
other required payments). After satisfaction of mortgage indebtedness on the
hotel of $22,100,000 at closing, the Company received net cash proceeds of
approximately $73,000,000.

In May 2005, an entity in which the Company has a non-controlling equity
interest ("Union Square") sold its interest in an office complex located on
Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The Company's share of the net proceeds is
$72,800,000, all of which was received except for $1,000,000 that remains in
escrow and is expected to be received during the fourth quarter of 2005.

In May 2005, MK entered into a share purchase agreement with the Company and
Inmet, a Canadian-based global mining company, which provides for Inmet's
acquisition of 70% of MK's interest in CLC, a wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary of
MK that holds the exploration and mineral rights to the Las Cruces copper
deposit in the Pyrite Belt of Spain. Inmet will acquire the interest in CLC in
exchange for 5,600,000 newly issued Inmet common shares. The Inmet shares will
have the benefit of a registration rights agreement; however, the shares may not
be transferred or sold to a third party until the earlier of four years from the
closing date or the date on which the Company is no longer obligated under the
guarantee discussed below.

Closing of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the
Company's acquisition of the outstanding MK common shares that it doesn't
already own, the execution of project financing commitments with third parties
to provide for no less than $255,000,000 (including interest during
construction), a 66 million euro bridge facility and other customary closing
conditions. The Company has entered into a merger agreement with MK to acquire
the remaining MK common shares for aggregate merger consideration of
approximately 333,500 of the Company's common shares. MK has scheduled a
shareholder meeting to vote on the merger on August 9, 2005, and since the
agreement with Inmet requires the Company to vote its shares in favor of the
merger, approval is assured. The Company and Inmet have also committed to
provide financing to CLC which is estimated to be $159,000,000, of which the
Company's share will be 30% ($32,300,000 of which has already been loaned), and
the Company has agreed to provide a payment guarantee for 30% of the third party
project financing until such time as the completion tests to be specified under
the project financing have been achieved.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements
requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities. In its 2004 10-K, the Company identified certain areas as critical
accounting estimates because they have the potential to have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements, and because they are based on assumptions
which are used in the accounting records to reflect, at a specific point in
time, events whose ultimate outcome won't be known until a later date. On an
on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of these estimates and assumptions.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company
evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of
such assets may not be recoverable. When testing for impairment, the Company
groups its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest
level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash
flows of other assets and liabilities (or asset group). The determination of
whether an asset group is recoverable is based on management's estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows directly attributable to the asset group as
compared to its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the asset group is
greater than the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss would be recognized
for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its
estimated fair value.

20
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.

As discussed above, on January 31, 2005, SBC announced that it would buy AT&T
and announced its intention to migrate the services provided by WilTel to the
AT&T network. Since SBC is WilTel's largest customer, accounting for 70% of the
Network segment's 2005 telecommunications revenues, the Company concluded that
the SBC announcement is an event which requires the Company to assess the
carrying value of WilTel's long-lived assets for impairment, principally
property and equipment. Since the event which gave rise to the impairment review
occurred on January 31, 2005, and is not reflective of a condition that existed
as of December 31, 2004, the assessment of impairment was performed as part of
the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the first quarter of
2005. Based on the assumptions described below, the Company concluded that an
impairment charge was not required.

The Company determined that WilTel's fiber optic communications network is the
lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the
cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The asset group is primarily
composed of fiber optic cable, conduit, rights of way, optronics and certain
buildings and related improvements. These assets are used together to generate
joint cash flows. The Company has determined that the primary asset of the group
is fiber optic cable, which has a remaining weighted average useful life of 16
years. The fiber optic cable is considered to be the primary asset of the group
as it is the most significant component of the group, the principal asset from
which the asset group derives its cash flow generating capacity, would cost the
most to replace and without which most of the assets in the group would not have
been acquired. The determination of the primary asset of the asset group is
significant because estimated cash flows used to test for recoverability are
based on the estimated remaining useful life of the primary asset. The carrying
value of the asset group that was tested for impairment was approximately
$920,000,000.

The Company utilized WilTel's internal estimates of future cash flows from all
of its customers over the remaining useful life of the primary asset. These
assumptions reflected estimated future operating results and considered all
relevant facts and circumstances. The economics and term of WilTel's future
relationship with SBC were the most significant assumptions in the analysis.
These assumptions were based upon the best information available; however, when
the analysis was performed during the first quarter of 2005, negotiations
between SBC and WilTel were not yet completed with respect to a transition
services and pricing agreement and other matters. As more fully described above,
WilTel and SBC subsequently entered into new agreements, and WilTel's new
estimate of the cash flows that will be received from SBC pursuant to these
agreements is greater than the amounts assumed for the first quarter impairment
analysis. However, if WilTel's actual cash flows in the future are materially
less than the amounts used for its impairment analysis, or other events occur
which have a material adverse affect on WilTel's business or ability to generate
future cash flows, the Company would have to prepare a new impairment analysis
and may conclude that this asset group is impaired.

The Company's conclusion that an impairment charge was not required does not
mean that the Company believes the fair value of the network asset group equals
its current carrying value. Under FAS 144, an asset group is considered
recoverable (and no impairment charge is recorded) if management's estimate of
the direct cash flows that the asset group can generate is, on an undiscounted
basis, greater than the carrying value. However, since the Company's estimate of
the future cash flows is undiscounted and extends over 16 years, the
determination of the fair value of the asset group would have to include, among
other factors, discounting the gross cash flows to their net present value at an
appropriate rate.

Income Taxes - The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred
tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. If the
Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax
asset in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment would
increase income in such period. Similarly, if the Company were to determine that
it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax asset in the
future, an adjustment would be charged to income in such period. The Company
also records reserves for contingent tax liabilities based on the Company's
assessment of the probability of successfully sustaining its tax filing
positions.

21
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.

As more fully discussed in the 2004 10-K, at acquisition the Company established
a valuation allowance that reserved for substantially all of WilTel's net
deferred tax asset, because the Company could not demonstrate it would have the
future taxable income necessary to realize that asset. The Company's projections
of consolidated taxable income and its assessment of the need for a full
valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset had been significantly influenced
by the fact that it had not yet generated positive cumulative pre-tax income
over a period of years on a pro forma combined basis with WilTel, and the
uncertainty of WilTel's relationship with SBC in the future. During the second
quarter of 2005, WilTel entered into new agreements with SBC that significantly
reduced uncertainty surrounding WilTel's future profitability. Additionally,
taxable income from the Company's other operations and investments, when added
to WilTel's on a pro forma combined basis, have now achieved positive cumulative
pre-tax income for the Company. The Company has prepared updated projections of
future taxable income and has concluded that it is more likely than not that it
will have future taxable income sufficient to realize a portion of the Company's
net deferred tax asset, and in June 2005 reversed $1,110,000,000 of the
valuation allowance as a credit to income tax expense. After the adjustment, the
remaining balance in the valuation allowance as of June 30, 2005 is
approximately $950,000,000. For the remainder of 2005, the Company does not
expect to record any material federal income tax provision; however, in future
years the Company will record income tax provisions equal to its effective
income tax rate, unless there is a further adjustment to the valuation allowance
(see below).

The Company's conclusion that a portion of the deferred tax asset was more
likely than not to be realizable was strongly influenced by its historical
ability to generate significant amounts of taxable income. The Company's
estimate of future taxable income considered all available evidence, both
positive and negative, about its current operations and investments, included an
aggregation of individual projections for each material operation and
investment, incorporated the assumptions used by WilTel for its impairment
analysis (updated for the new SBC agreements) and included all future years
(through 2024) that the Company estimated it would have available net operating
loss carryforwards. Over the projection period, the Company assumed that its
readily available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities would provide
returns equivalent to the returns expected to be provided by the Company's
existing operations and investments, except for certain amounts assumed to be
invested on a short-term basis to meet the Company's liquidity needs. The
Company believes that its estimate of future taxable income is reasonable but
inherently uncertain, and if its current or future operations and investments
generate taxable income greater than the projected amounts, further adjustments
to reduce the valuation allowance are possible. Conversely, if the Company
realizes unforeseen material losses in the future, or its ability to generate
future taxable income necessary to realize a portion of the deferred tax asset
is materially reduced, additions to the valuation allowance could be recorded.

The Company is required to record the adjustment to the deferred tax asset
valuation allowance under generally accepted accounting principles. While the
adjustment significantly increases the Company's June 2005 net worth (an
increase of 47%), there is no current cash benefit to the Company. The
adjustment will also result in the recording of material income tax expense in
the future, even though there will be no material cash expenditure for income
taxes. Further, while the adjustment results from the projection of taxable
income over a long period of time, under generally accepted accounting
principles the expected future tax savings are not discounted. As a result, this
adjustment increases the Company's net worth attributable to tax savings before
the Company has generated the taxable income necessary to realize those tax
savings; when the tax savings are actually realized over time, net worth will be
reduced by the recording of a deferred tax provision. Reflecting tax savings
before the tax is actually saved results in the Company's balance sheet being
less conservative than the Company would want it to be. However, this accounting
policy is mandated by generally accepted accounting principles.

Results of Operations

The 2005 Periods Compared to the 2004 Periods

Telecommunications - Network and Vyvx

The following tables reconcile WilTel's segment profit from operations to income
(loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. For WilTel's segments, segment
profit from operations is the primary performance measure of segment operating
results and profitability. WilTel defines segment profit from operations as
income before income taxes, interest expense, investment income, depreciation
and amortization expense and other non-operating income and expense.

(1) Excludes intersegment revenues from amounts billed by Network to Vyvx of
$4,400,000 and $4,600,000, respectively, for the three month periods ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, and $8,600,000 and $9,100,000, respectively, for
the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and intersegment
revenue billed from Network to ATX of $500,000 for the 2005 periods.
(2) If items in these categories cannot be directly attributable to a
particular WilTel segment, they are allocated to each segment based upon a
formula that considers each segment's revenues, property and equipment and
headcount.
(3) For Network, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005,
includes $7,900,000 from the termination of a dark fiber contract and
related maintenance services for which Network will not have to perform any
remaining services and for which it has been paid; for the six month period
ended June 30, 2005, includes gains of $13,000,000 from sales of operating
assets, principally undersea cable assets.
(4) For Vyvx for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, includes a
bankruptcy claim distribution of $1,600,000 received for a security with no
book value.
(5) For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, includes
$1,100,000 related to the new agreements with SBC, which is discussed
below. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, WilTel's other
non-operating income includes a pre-tax gain of $2,800,000 related to cash
and securities received in excess of the book value of secured claims in a
customer's bankruptcy.

23
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.

Network's revenues include services provided to SBC of $281,600,000 and
$261,600,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, representing approximately 70% and 71%, respectively, of Network's
telecommunications revenues, and $560,700,000 and $500,000,000 for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing approximately
70% and 69%, respectively, of Network's telecommunications revenues. Network's
revenues from SBC have continued to grow, principally related to voice products.
Revenues attributable to other RBOCs were approximately 5% and 4% of Network's
telecommunications revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively, and 6% and 5% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively. Revenues for non-SBC related business for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2005 grew approximately 13% and 5%,
respectively, over the same periods in 2004, principally from data products.

Under the new SBC Master Services Agreement, SBC agreed to purchase WilTel
services at the fixed prices that had been in effect on June 15, 2005, with
minimum purchase commitments for on-net services of $600,000,000 for the period
from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007, and $75,000,000 for the period
from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009. If SBC fails to spend the
required $600,000,000 or $75,000,000 during the respective designated periods,
SBC will pay the amount of any deficiency and receive a credit equal to such
amount to be used for future services. If SBC spends more than $600,000,000
during the initial three-year period, any excess will be credited toward the
$75,000,000 commitment in the second period. SBC's minimum purchase commitments
exclude access and off-net costs. However, for financial reporting purposes
these costs are included as revenues, with offsetting amounts reported in
telecommunications cost of sales, on the Company's consolidated statements of
operations. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $120,000,000 of the minimum
purchase commitments have been satisfied. Minimum purchase commitments are
considered satisfied only when SBC has paid for the service provided, not when
the service is recognized as revenue for financial reporting purposes. WilTel
also has the opportunity to earn up to an additional $50,000,000 by meeting
quality of service performance criteria in 2006 and 2007.

The $236,000,000 of termination payments due from SBC (along with $7,000,000
previously funded by SBC for capital expenditures) is being classified as other
non-operating Network income, which is not a component of segment profit from
operations. It is being recognized as other income over time proportionally with
the ratio of the minimum purchase commitments that have been earned subsequent
to entering into the agreements with SBC, to the remaining minimum purchase
commitment at June 15, 2005. For the periods ended June 30, 2005, $1,100,000 of
this amount was reflected in other income.

Network's cost of sales reflects the level of revenues, and is comprised of
variable charges paid to access vendors to originate and/or terminate switched
voice traffic, and fixed charges for leased facilities and local off-net costs.
Network's cost of sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005
includes charges of approximately $1,300,000 and $3,900,000 for changes in the
estimated accrual for access costs incurred but not yet billed. Adjustments to
the estimated accrual for access costs for the same periods of 2004 were not
material. In addition, access cost dispute resolutions were less favorable for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the prior
year's periods by approximately $3,300,000 and $1,600,000, respectively.
Network's cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 also included a
charge of $3,500,000 for international voice access costs, for which no revenue
was recognized. WilTel entered into a commitment for these access costs in order
to provide services for a specific customer; however, the customer defaulted
under its contract, and WilTel accrued the remaining amount of the commitment,
but does not expect to be able to recover from its customer.

Network's salaries and incentive compensation were $30,000,000 and $29,000,000
for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and
$58,800,000 and $56,600,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively, and selling, general and other expenses were $37,900,000 and
$32,200,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and $78,300,000 and $70,500,000 for the

of Interim Operations, continued.

six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Selling, general
and other expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005
included greater contract maintenance costs primarily for equipment that is no
longer under warranty ($3,000,000 and $3,200,000, respectively), higher sales
commissions ($700,000 and $1,400,000, respectively) and the amortization of
costs relating to WilTel's 2004 debt refinancing ($500,000 and $1,000,000,
respectively). Selling, general and other expenses for the three and six month
2005 periods also reflect lower property and ad valorem taxes of $1,200,000 and
$2,300,000, respectively. Selling, general and other expenses for the six month
period ended June 30, 2005 also included a charge of $1,700,000 for repairs
resulting from weather related fiber damage and increased advertising and legal
expenses. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, selling,
general and other expenses includes a reduction of $4,100,000 and $4,700,000,
respectively, to the provision for doubtful accounts, principally due to the
collection of previously reserved accounts receivable that had been in dispute.
Selling, general and other expenses for the first quarter of 2004 included a
charge of $2,700,000 to the provision for doubtful accounts to fully reserve for
a customer's accounts receivable.

Vyvx operating revenues were $30,400,000 and $31,400,000 for the three month
periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $59,200,000 for each of
the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The slight decline in
revenues in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 2004 reflects the impact
of price reductions and the loss of the National Hockey League revenues
resulting from its labor dispute, partially offset by higher occasional fiber
business. Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 were largely
unchanged compared to the same period in 2004 due to increased advertising
distribution services relating to movies, partially offset by the impact of the
factors mentioned above for the three month periods.

Vyvx cost of sales reflects the level of revenue and is comprised primarily of
amounts billed by Network to Vyvx for transporting content over the WilTel
network, costs paid to other providers for local access and other off-net
services, transponder expenses and freight and overnight delivery costs. The
Company's consolidated statement of operations includes Vyvx salaries and
incentive compensation expense of $4,600,000 for each of the three month periods
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and $9,100,000 and $8,800,000 for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and selling, general and
other expenses of $4,100,000 and $3,600,000 for the three month periods ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $7,900,000 and $7,200,000 for the six
month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Vyvx's gross margins
remained relatively unchanged in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the
same period in 2004 as costs decreased consistent with the decline in revenues.
The increase in Vyvx's gross margins for the six month 2005 period compared to
the same period in 2004 resulted primarily from higher advertising distribution
services revenue and a greater percentage of those services being provided by
electronic versus physical distribution, for which the costs are lower.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the Network and Vyvx segments declined
in the 2005 periods as compared to the 2004 periods, principally as a result of
certain assets becoming fully depreciated partially offset by the impact of new
depreciable assets being placed into service.

Telecommunications - ATX

ATX has been consolidated by the Company since April 22, 2005, the effective
date of its bankruptcy plan. For the 2005 periods, ATX telecommunications
revenues and other income were $30,700,000, telecommunications cost of sales
were $19,400,000, salaries and incentive compensation expense was $5,100,000,
depreciation and amortizations expenses were $1,800,000, selling, general and
other expenses were $5,000,000 and ATX had a pre-tax loss of $700,000. ATX
results reflect intersegment charges from WilTel's Network segment of $500,000.

25
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.

Healthcare Services

Pre-tax income of the healthcare services segment was $800,000 and $5,400,000
for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and
$2,200,000 and $7,800,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
healthcare services revenues were $61,100,000 and $64,100,000, respectively, and
cost of sales, which primarily consist of salaries and employee benefits, was
$51,300,000 and $52,300,000, respectively. For the six month periods ended June
30, 2005 and 2004, healthcare services revenues were $129,000,000 and
$127,300,000, respectively, and cost of sales were $107,800,000 and
$104,100,000, respectively.

The decrease in healthcare revenues for the second quarter of 2005 as compared
to the same period in 2004 principally resulted from its termination of certain
underperforming customers, customer attrition and the sale of Symphony's
respiratory line of business. The increase in healthcare revenues for the six
month 2005 period as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily resulted from
an increase in the amount of services provided and an increase in outpatient
therapy rates. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, one
customer accounted for approximately 13% and 16%, respectively, of Symphony's
revenues.

The decline in gross margins in the 2005 periods as compared to the 2004 periods
reflects revenue changes discussed above, higher hourly wages and benefits paid
to attract and retain therapists and greater amounts incurred for independent
contractors, both due to a shortage of licensed therapists in the marketplace.
The decline in pre-tax results for the 2005 periods also reflects higher
borrowing costs, depreciation expense, professional fees for certain outsourced
services and expenditures for hiring, training and automation, which Symphony
hopes will help offset the increase in the costs of therapists. Pre-tax results
for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 period also reflect aggregate gains
of $500,000 from the sale of certain property and the respiratory line of
business. Pre-tax income for the 2004 periods also included $2,700,000 from the
collection of receivables in excess of their carrying amounts.

Manufacturing

Pre-tax income for the plastics manufacturing segment was $4,700,000 and
$2,300,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and $7,900,000 and $3,300,000 for the six month periods ended June
30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Its revenues were $24,600,000 and $16,700,000
for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and
$45,400,000 and $30,100,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively.

Revenues for the plastics manufacturing segment increased by $7,900,000 and
$15,300,000 in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 as compared
to the same periods in 2004, reflecting NSW's revenues since acquisition of
$5,100,000 and $7,500,000, respectively, and increases in substantially all of
the segment's markets. These increases result from a variety of factors
including strong housing and construction markets, new products developed late
in 2004, and the impact of price increases implemented during the second half of
2004 and in the first quarter of 2005. Although raw material costs increased
significantly in 2005, the aforementioned increases in selling prices in most
markets, along with increased sales and production volumes enabled this segment
to maintain its gross profit margins. Gross margins for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2005 also reflect $200,000 and $500,000, respectively, of
greater amortization expense on intangible assets resulting from acquisitions.

Revenues for ITC from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2005 were
$63,500,000; gross profit was $3,400,000, depreciation and amortization expenses
were $1,800,000 and pre-tax loss was $400,000. ITC revenues, gross profit and
pre-tax results reflect an oversupply in its dimensional lumber and home center
boards markets, which has resulted in lower sales prices without a corresponding
reduction in raw material costs.

26
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.

Banking and Lending

As stated in the 2004 10-K, the current activities of the banking and lending
segment are concentrated on collecting and servicing its remaining loan
portfolio, maximizing returns on its investment portfolio and discharging
deposit liabilities as they come due. As a result, revenues and expenses for
this segment are reflective of the continuing decrease in the size of the loan
portfolio, particularly as a result of the loan portfolios sales during 2004.
Finance revenues, which reflect both the level and mix of consumer instalment
loans, and pre-tax results decreased in the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2005 as compared to the similar periods in 2004, as average loans
outstanding were $3,600,000 and $30,900,000 during the three month periods ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $3,800,000 and $109,500,000 for the
six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Pre-tax income for
the banking and lending segment was $700,000 for the 2005 periods and $9,300,000
and $14,600,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004,
respectively. Pre-tax income for the 2004 periods includes a pre-tax gain of
$9,000,000 on the sale of its subprime automobile and collateralized consumer
loan portfolios.

Domestic Real Estate

Pre-tax income for the domestic real estate segment was $1,100,000 and
$1,200,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and $500,000 and $9,100,000 for the six month periods ended June
30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2005, the Company recognized $1,600,000 and $2,500,000, respectively,
of previously deferred pre-tax profit related to its 95-lot development project
in South Walton County, Florida, upon completion of certain required
improvements to the property. The Company expects to recognize the balance of
the deferred pre-tax profits during 2005 (aggregating $7,600,000) from this
project as it completes the remaining improvements. Revenues and pre-tax profit
for this segment in the six month period ended June 30, 2004 reflected the sale
of certain unimproved land for cash proceeds of $8,800,000, which resulted in a
pre-tax gain of $7,600,000.

In May 2005, the Company sold its 716-room Waikiki Beach hotel and related
assets for an aggregate purchase price of $107,000,000, before closing costs and
other required payments. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $56,600,000 in
the second quarter of 2005, which is reflected in discontinued operations.
Historical operating results for the hotel have not been material.

Corporate and Other Operations

Investment and other income increased in the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to greater
interest income of $5,400,000 and $12,300,000, respectively, reflecting a larger
amount of invested assets and higher interest rates. Investment and other income
for the three and six month 2005 periods also reflect charges of $1,300,000 and
$200,000, respectively, related to the accounting for mark-to-market values of
Corporate derivatives as compared to income of $2,500,000 and $1,300,000,
respectively, for the comparable 2004 periods.

Net securities gains for Corporate and Other Operations aggregated $46,900,000
and $52,300,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and $47,000,000 and $61,600,000 for the six month periods ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net securities gains for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2005 include a provision of $1,000,000 and
$3,300,000, respectively, to write down the Company's investments in certain
available for sale securities. Write downs of securities were $600,000 for the
2004 periods.

The increase in interest expense during the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2005 as compared to the 2004 periods primarily reflects interest
expense relating to $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7% Senior Notes
and $350,000,000 principal amount of its 3 3/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated
Notes issued in April 2004.

27
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.

The increase in salaries and incentive compensation expense of $2,300,000 and
$3,200,000, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005
compared to the same periods in 2004, principally relates to increased bonus
expense.

The increase in selling, general and other expenses of $4,500,000 and
$8,500,000, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005
as compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily reflects greater cost of goods
sold of the winery operations, higher professional fees that principally relate
to due diligence expenses for potential investments, greater professional fees
and greater foreign exchange losses. In addition, selling, general and other
expenses for the three and six month 2005 periods also include $1,300,000 and
$2,100,000, respectively, related to Indular, an Argentine shoe manufacturing
company acquired in January 2005 in which the Company has an effective 59%
interest.

As discussed above, the income tax provision for the 2005 periods reflect a
credit of $1,110,000,000 as a result of the reversal of a portion of the
valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset. The Company adjusted the
valuation allowance since it believes it is more likely than not that it will
have future taxable income sufficient to realize that portion of the net
deferred tax asset.

For the periods ended June 30, 2004, the Company has recorded a net federal
income tax provision on income from continuing operations, inclusive of a
federal tax provision netted against equity in income of associated companies.
The provision for federal income tax on income from continuing operations is
fully offset by federal income tax benefits recognized on losses in other
comprehensive income and losses from discontinued operations. As a result, when
all components of income are aggregated there is no net federal income tax
expense recorded for the periods ended June 30, 2004. Income taxes for the 2004
periods also include a provision for state income taxes.

Associated Companies

Equity in income (losses) of associated companies for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 includes the following (in thousands):

As discussed above, the Company redeemed its interest in Pershing effective
December 31, 2004.

In May 2005, Union Square sold its interest in an office complex located on
Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. During the second quarter, the Company received
its share of the net proceeds totaling $71,800,000 and expects to receive in the
fourth quarter an additional $1,000,000 for its share of escrowed proceeds. The
Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale, including the escrowed proceeds,
of $71,900,000.

of Interim Operations, continued.

Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking Information

Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Interim Operations may contain forward-looking
statements. Such statements may relate, but are not limited, to projections of
revenues, income or loss, capital expenditures, plans for growth and future
operations, competition and regulation, as well as assumptions relating to the
foregoing. Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe-harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties,
many of which cannot be predicted or quantified. When used in this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Interim
Operations, the words "estimates", "expects", "anticipates", "believes",
"plans", "intends" and variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Future events and actual results could differ materially from
those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking
statements.

The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by any of these statements or which may materially and adversely
affect the Company's actual results include, but are not limited to, those
discussed or identified from time to time in the Company's public filings,
including:

A worsening of general economic and market conditions or increases in
prevailing interest rate levels, which may result in reduced sales of
our products and services, lower valuations for our associated
companies and investments or a negative impact on the credit quality
of our assets;

Changes in foreign and domestic laws, regulations and taxes, which may
result in higher costs and lower revenue for our businesses, including
as a result of unfavorable political and diplomatic developments,
currency fluctuations, changes in governmental policies,
expropriation, nationalization, confiscation of assets and changes in
legislation relating to non-U.S. ownership;

Increased competition and changes in pricing environments, which may
result in decreasing revenues and/or margins, increased raw materials
costs for our plastics manufacturing business and ITC, loss of market
share or significant price erosion;

Continued instability and uncertainty in the telecommunications
industry, associated with increased competition, aggressive pricing
and overcapacity;

Dependence on key personnel, in particular, our Chairman and
President, the loss of whom would severely affect our ability to
develop and implement our business strategy;

Inability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, which would
make it difficult to conduct the businesses of certain of our
subsidiaries, including WilTel and Symphony;

Adverse legal and regulatory developments that may affect particular
businesses, such as regulatory developments in the telecommunications
and healthcare industries, or in the environmental area, which could
affect the Company's real estate development activities and
telecommunications business, as well as the Company's other
operations;

The extent to which WilTel is successful in replacing revenues and
profits generated by SBC upon the migration of services from WilTel to
AT&T, which, if not successful will have a significant unfavorable
impact on WilTel's results of operations;

WilTel's ability to acquire or maintain rights of way necessary for
the operation of its network, which could require WilTel to find
alternate routes or increase WilTel's costs to provide services to its
customers;

29
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.


WilTel's dependence on a small number of suppliers and high-volume
customers, the loss of any of which could adversely affect WilTel's
ability to generate operating profits and positive cash flows;

Changes in telecommunications laws and regulations, which could
adversely affect WilTel and its customers through, for example, higher
costs, increased competition and a loss of revenue;

Adverse regulatory developments impacting Medicare, which could
materially reduce Symphony's revenues;

The ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income in
the future to realize its net deferred tax asset, which if not
achieved could result in the need to record an income tax provision to
increase the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset;

Weather related conditions and significant natural disasters,
including hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, earthquakes and
hailstorms, which may impact our wineries, real estate holdings and
reinsurance operations;

The inability to insure or reinsure certain risks economically, or the
ability to collect on insurance or reinsurance policies, which could
result in the Company having to self-insure business risks;

Changes in U.S. real estate markets and real estate collateral values,
including the residential market in Southern California and the
commercial market in Washington, D.C., which are sensitive to mortgage
interest rate levels;

Adverse economic, political or environmental developments in Spain,
which could delay or preclude the issuance of permits necessary to
develop the Las Cruces copper mining project or which could result in
increased costs of bringing the project to completion and increased
costs in financing the development of the project;

The inability to obtain necessary financing for the Las Cruces copper
mining project, or the failure of the Inmet transaction to close,
which could delay or prevent completion of the project;

Decreases in world wide copper prices or weakening of the U.S. dollar
against the euro, which could adversely affect the commercial
viability of the Las Cruces copper mining project;

WilTel's ability to adapt to technological developments or continued
or increased pricing competition in the telecommunications industry,
which could adversely affect WilTel's ability to generate operating
profits and positive cash flows;

WilTel's inability to generate operating profits and positive cash
flows, which could result in a default under WilTel's credit
agreement, pursuant to which substantially all of its assets are
pledged;

Current and future legal and administrative claims and proceedings
against WilTel, which may result in increased costs and diversion of
management's attention;

Regional or general increases in the cost of living, particularly in
the regions in which the Company has operations or sells its products
or services, which may result in lower sales of such products and
services; and

30
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Interim Operations, continued.


Risks associated with future acquisitions and investments, including
changes in the composition of the Company's assets and liabilities
through such acquisitions, competition from others for potential
acquisition targets, diversion of management's attention from normal
daily operations of the business and insufficient revenues to offset
increased expenses associated with acquisitions.


This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of
forward-looking statements is illustrative, but is not intended to be
exhaustive. Therefore, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with
the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. Undue reliance should not be
placed on these forward-looking statements, which are applicable only as of the
date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after
the date of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Interim Operations or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Information required under this Item is contained in Item 7A of the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and is
incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

(a) The Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's
principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of June 30, 2005. Based on their
evaluation, the Company's principal executive and principal financial
officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of June 30, 2005.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

(b) As discussed elsewhere herein, during the second quarter of 2005 the
Company acquired ATX and ITC. Each of ATX and ITC have their own distinct
internal controls over financial reporting; therefore, such internal
controls represent a new component part of the Company's consolidated
internal control over financial reporting. The Company has not yet
completed its evaluation of the internal controls over financial reporting
at ATX or ITC, although these entities have or are expected to have
financial statement amounts which are material to the Company's
consolidated financial statements. Except for changes that result from the
acquisition of ATX and ITC, there have been no changes in the Company's
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company's
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005, that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
