Notes to Consolidated Adjusted Statements of Income
-1 BC TELECOM, a majority-owned Canadian subsidiary of GTE,
merged with TELUS on January 31, 1999. GTE's ownership
interests in the merged company, TELUS is 26.7% therefore,
during the first quarter of 1999, GTE deconsolidated BC
TELECOM and began accounting for the investment in TELUS
using the equity method of accounting. In addition, during
the fourth quarter of 1998, GTE increased its ownership
interest in CTI Holdings, and Argentine wireless company, and
began accounting for CTI Holdings on a consolidated basis.
For consistency, second quarter and year to date 1998
revenues and expenses have been adjusted to reflect the
current method of accounting for these investments. Net
income and EPS are not affected by these adjustments.
-2 Reported results for 1999 include a pre tax gain of $513
million, recorded in the first quarter, associated with the
merger of BC TELECOM with TELUS on January 31, 1999. The
after-tax impact of this gain is $308 million, or $.32 per
diluted share.
Reported results for 1999 also include special charges of
$192 million ($119 million after tax, or $.12 per diluted
share) recorded in the first quarter, associated with
voluntary and involuntary employee separation programs
completed in early April 1999. The charges include
separation and related benefits such as outplacement and
benefit continuation costs.
-3 In March 1999, GTE Corporation called $338 million in high
coupon debt prior to stated maturity, resulting in an after-
tax extraordinary charge during the first quarter of $30
million, or $0.03 per diluted share.
-4 Reported results for 1998 include special charges of $755
million ($482 million after-tax, or $.50 per diluted share)
related to asset impairments, the costs of exiting certain
business activities and employee related costs recorded
during the first quarter of 1998.
-5 Reported results for 1998 include after-tax extraordinary
charges of $320 million, or $.33 per diluted share, resulting
from the discontinued use of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.71, 'Accounting for the Effects of
Certain Types of Regulation' (SFAS No. 71), by GTE's Canadian
operations, and the early retirement of long-term debt and
preferred stock record during the first quarter of 1998.
Note: Reclassifications and restatements of prior period
operating statistics on the following schedules have been
made, where appropriate, to conform to the 1999 presentation.

changes in ownership interest, second quarter 1999 proportionate
revenue growth would have been 6.8%

At December 31, 1998 GTE had a 50.8% ownership interest in BC
TELECOM. On January 31, 1999, BC TELECOM and TELUS Corporation
merged to form a public company called TELUS. GTE'S ownership
interest in the merged company, TELUS, is a 26.7% and, as such,
during the first quarter of 1999, GTE changed the accounting for
its investment from full consolidation to the equity method.
Certain decreases in the assets and liabilities from December 31,
1998 are primarily driven by the impacts of this transaction.
-2 At June 30, 1999, the amount reflects net assets held for sale
associated with GTE Government Systems, GTE Airfone and
approximately 1.6 million domestic access lines. At December 31,
1998, the net book value of the access lines was reflected in
'Property, plant and equipment, net'. At June 30, 1999, based on
the signing of definitive agreements, the net book value of access
lines has been reclassified to 'net assets held for sale'.
