ASSUMING DILUTION 980 967 1.3 See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Adjusted Statements of Income GTE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED ADJUSTED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (1) On September 1, 1999, GTE completed the sale of substantially all of its Government Systems business to General Dynamics. Reported results for 1999 include eight months of activity associated with these units. For comparative purposes, third quarter and year-to-date revenues and operating expenses for 1998 have been adjusted to exclude activity for the month of September for the Government Systems units sold. Net income and EPS for 1998 are not affected by these adjustments as they were added back into Other (Income) Expense. (2) BC TELECOM, a majority-owned Canadian subsidiary of GTE, merged with TELUS on January 31, 1999. GTE's ownership interest 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, an Argentine wireless company, and began accounting for CTI Holdings on a consolidated basis. For consistency, third 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. (3) Reported results for 1999 include special items of $705 million, recorded in the third quarter, which include the gain associated with the sale of substantially all of the Government Systems business on September 1, 1999 to General Dynamics for $1.03 billion in cash, partially offset by a special charge related to the impairment of assets associated with new product development. The after-tax impact of these special items is $416 million or $.42 per diluted share. (4) Reported results for 1999 include a pretax 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 employee separation programs completed in early April 1999. The charges include separation and related benefits such as outplacement and benefit continuation costs. (5) Reported results for 1998 include special charges of $755 million ($482 million after-tax, or $.50 per diluted share) related to asset impairments, the cost of exiting certain business activities and employee related costs recorded during the first quarter of 1998. (6) In March 1999, GTE Corporation repurchased $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 $.03 per diluted share. 7) 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 recorded 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.
