Let S be an (ideal) extension of a completely 0-simple semigroup S0 by a completely 0-simple semigroup S1. Congruences on S can be uniquely represented in terms of congruences on S0 and S1. In this representation, for a congruence ρ on S, we express ρKTK and ρT, where these denote the least (greatest) congruences with the same kernel (trace) as ρ. Let κ be the least completely 0-simple congruence on S. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of the kernel of κ, in order that the relation K be a congruence, and also that [Cscr ](S)/K be a modular lattice, where [Cscr ](S) denotes the congruence lattice of S.
