(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.

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.
