NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA AND OPERATING STATISTICS
(1) Financial data is shown on an adjusted basis, as defined in
the Notes to Consolidated Adjusted Statements of Income.
(2) Operating statistics are shown on a reported basis.
(3) Excluding special items and extraordinary charges, return on
equity would have been 36.1% and 34.2%, while return on
investment would have been 14.6% and 13.8% in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
(4) Special access lines for 1998 have been restated to be
consistent with 1999 reporting.
(5) Includes lines resold to GTE's CLEC of 158,000 in 1999 and
44,000 in 1998.
(6) Lines have been adjusted to reflect Voice Grade Equivalents.
VGEs used in the calculation are: one Basic Rate ISDN = 2.25 lines
and one Primary Rate ISDN = 24 lines in the above table.
(7) 1999 includes cellular incollect revenues. Growth in total
revenues, adjusting 1998 results to reflect this change, would
have been 10.8% and 5.1% for the third quarter and year-to-date
periods, respectively. Cellular incollect revenues have been
excluded from average revenue per user per month and operating
cash flow margin calculations.
(8) Represents results of domestic cellular operations only.
(9) Cellular incollect costs have been excluded from cash
operating expense per customer per month.
(10) Represents population served times GTE's ownership interest.
(11) Represents subscribers divided by total population in
domestic markets only.
(12) A component of Internetworking, BBN Technologies, has been
reclassified to Other National Operations. Related third quarter
revenues of $46 million and $51 million, and year-to-date
revenues of $148 million and $151 million in 1999 and 1998,
respectively, as well as other prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation. For
comparative purposes, 1998 results for Technology and Systems and
Total National Operations are shown on an adjusted basis. (See
Note (1) to Consolidated Adjusted Statements of Income).
(13) Includes elimination of revenues representing transactions
between units included in GTE's National Operations.
(14) Third quarter 1999 results exclude the net pretax gain of
$705 million primarily related to the sale of Government Systems,
partially offset by a special charge related to the impairment of
assets associated with new product development. Year-to-date
results exclude this net gain, as well as special charges of $179
million and $659 million recorded during the first quarters of
1999 and 1998, respectively.
(15) Represents adjustments to reflect the deconsolidation of BC
TELECOM and the consolidation of CTI, consistent with 1999
reporting. See Note (2) to Consolidated Adjusted Statements of
Income.
(16) Results shown with proportional adjustment for GTE's
ownership interest. GTE's ownership interest in CTI Holdings was
58% in third quarter 1999 compared with 47.6% in third quarter
1998. Also, GTE completed its purchase of a 40% interest in the
Puerto Rico Telephone Company in March 1999. Normalizing for
these changes in ownership interest, third quarter 1999
proportionate revenue growth would have been 9.6%.
(17) Represents adjustments to exclude the gain of $513 million
pretax ($308 million after-tax) on the merger of BC TELECOM and
TELUS.
(18) Represents adjustments to reflect the deconsolidation of BC
TELECOM and the consolidation of CTI, consistent with 1999
reporting. See Note (2) to Consolidated Adjusted Statements of
Income.
(19) Includes adjustment to exclude first quarter 1998 special
charges of $38 million, primarily related to the write-off of
impaired assets in Latin America.
(20) Includes adjustment to exclude first quarter 1998
extraordinary charges of $300 million after-tax, related to the
discontinuation of SFAS No. 71 by GTE's Canadian operations.
(21) Results shown with proportional adjustment for GTE's
ownership interest. GTE's ownership interest in CTI Holdings was
58% during 1999 compared with 25.5%, 41.9% and 47.6% in the first,
second and third quarters of 1998, respectively. Also, GTE
completed its purchase of a 40% interest in the Puerto Rico
Telephone Company in March 1999. Normalizing for these changes
in ownership interest, 1999 proportionate revenue growth would
have been 9.4%.
(22) Operating statistics reflect reclassifications for the
consolidation of CTI Holdings and the deconsolidation of BC
TELECOM, consistent with 1999 reporting.
(23) Represents population covered times GTE's ownership interest.

==========================
(1) Results are shown on a reported basis.
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 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) Increase in cash and cash equivalents and short-term
obligations at September 30, 1999 reflects approximately $3.25
billion required for the closing of the purchase of the
Ameritech Cellular properties. This transaction, initially
scheduled to be completed on September 30, 1999, closed on
October 8, 1999.
(3) At December 31, 1998 the amount reflects net assets held for
sale associated with GTE Government Systems and Airfone. At
December 31, 1998, the net book value of the approximately 1.6
million access lines was reflected in 'Property, plant and
equipment, net.' Based on the signing of definitive
agreements in 1999, the net book value of the access lines has
been reclassified to 'Net assets held for sale'. At September
30, 1999 the amount primarily reflects net assets held for
sale associated with GTE Airfone and the 1.6 million access
lines.
