                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)
                                        
1. Basis of Presentation

   Bell Atlantic - Washington, D.C., Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Bell Atlantic Corporation (Bell Atlantic).  The accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared based upon
Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for
interim periods.  These financial statements reflect all adjustments which are
necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial
position for the interim periods shown including normal recurring accruals.  The
results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for
the full year.  For a more complete discussion of significant accounting
policies and certain other information, refer to the financial statements
included in the Company's 1997 Form 10-K.

   The Company has reclassified certain amounts from prior year's data to
conform with the 1998 presentation.

2. Dividend

   On August 3, 1998, the Company declared and paid a dividend in the amount of
$4,000,000 to Bell Atlantic.

3. Debt

   On July 24, 1998, the Company announced it will redeem $60,000,000 of 7.75%
debentures due in 2013 on August 24, 1998.  In connection with this redemption,
the Company will record an extraordinary charge of $1.0 million in the third
quarter of 1998.

4. Litigation and Other Contingencies

   Various legal actions and regulatory proceedings are pending to which the
Company is a party.  The Company has established reserves for liabilities in
connection with regulatory and legal matters which it currently deems to be
probable and estimable.  The Company does not expect that the ultimate
resolution of these matters in future periods will have a material effect on the
Company's financial position, but it could have a material effect on results of
operations.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncement

Costs of Computer Software

   In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," (SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1 provides, among
other things, guidance for determining whether computer software is for internal
use and when the cost related to such software should be expensed as incurred or
capitalized and amortized.  SOP 98-1 is required to be adopted no later than
January 1, 1999.

   The Company currently capitalizes initial right-to-use fees for central
office switching equipment, including initial operating system and initial
application software costs.  For noncentral office equipment, only the initial
operating system software is capitalized.  Subsequent additions, modifications,
or upgrades of initial software programs, whether operating or application
packages, are expensed as incurred.  The Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of SOP 98-1 and has not yet quantified the effect at this time.  The
adoption of SOP 98-1 is expected to result in an increase in earnings in the
year of adoption due to the prospective capitalization of costs which were
previously expensed.

6. Proposed Bell Atlantic - GTE Merger


   Bell Atlantic and GTE Corporation (GTE) have announced a proposed merger of
equals under a definitive merger agreement dated as of July 27, 1998.  Under the
terms of the agreement, GTE shareholders will receive 1.22 shares of Bell
Atlantic common stock for each share of GTE common stock that they own.  Bell
Atlantic shareholders will continue to own their existing shares after the
merger.

   It is expected that the merger will qualify as a "pooling of interests,"
which means for accounting and financial reporting purposes the companies will
be treated as if they had always been combined.  The completion of the merger is
subject to a number of conditions, including certain regulatory approvals,
receipt of opinions that the merger will be tax free, and the approval of the
shareholders of both Bell Atlantic and GTE.  The companies expect to close the
merger in the second half of 1999.

LOCAL SERVICES REVENUES

   1998 - 1997                      (Decrease)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                 $(2,112)      (1.4)%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Local services revenues are earned by the Company from the provision of local
exchange, local private line, public telephone (pay phone) and value-added
services.  Value-added services are a family of services which expand the
utilization of the network.  These services include products such as Caller ID,
Call Waiting and Return Call.

   Local services revenues declined in the first half of 1998 primarily due to
rate reductions on certain local services, including dial-tone charges, pursuant
to the Company's Price Cap Plan and the elimination of business Touch-Tone
service charges, effective January 1, 1998. The elimination of these Touch-Tone
service charges is expected to reduce annual revenues by approximately
$2,300,000 and the price reduction for dial-tone charges is expected to reduce
annual revenues by approximately $1,000,000. Lower business and residence
message volumes also contributed to the decline in local services revenues.

   Revenue decreases were partially offset by growth in value-added services and
private line and switched data services revenues resulting from higher customer
demand and usage. The Company also recognized higher revenues from public
telephone services in the first half of 1998. Price increases for usage of the
Company's pay phones and the implementation of new charges to carriers resulting
from pay phone deregulation in April 1997 were the principal reasons for the
improvement in public telephone services revenues.


NETWORK ACCESS SERVICES REVENUES

   1998 - 1997                      (Decrease)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                   $(637)       (.9)%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Network access services revenues are earned from carriers for their use of
the Company's local exchange facilities in providing usage services to their
customers.  In addition, end-user subscribers pay flat rate access fees to
connect to the Company's network.

   Network access services revenues declined in the first half of 1998 primarily
due to net price reductions mandated by a federal price cap plan.  This decrease
was substantially offset by higher customer demand as reflected by growth in
access minutes of use of 3.7% from June 30, 1997.  Volume growth was boosted by
the expansion of the business market, particularly for high-capacity services.
Demand for special access services grew as Internet service providers and other
high-capacity users increased their utilization of the Company's network.  In
addition, higher end-user revenues attributable to an increase in access lines
in service contributed to revenue growth in 1998.

   Effective July 1, 1998, the Company implemented price decreases of
approximately $2,300,000 on an annual basis for interstate services, in
connection with the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Price Cap Plan.
The rates included in this 1998 filing will be in effect through June 1999. The
July 1, 1998 rates include amounts necessary to recover the Company's
contribution to the FCC's new universal service fund. The FCC has created a
multi-billion dollar interstate fund to link schools and libraries to the
Internet and to subsidize low-income consumers and rural health care providers.
Under the FCC's rules, all providers of interstate telecommunications services
must contribute to the fund. The Company's contributions to the universal
service fund are included in Other Operating Expenses.

LONG DISTANCE  SERVICES REVENUES

   1998 - 1997                       Increase
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                    $57          2.8%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Long distance services revenues are earned primarily from calls made outside
a customer's local calling area, but within the same service area of the Company
(intraLATA toll).

   The increase in long distance services revenues in the first half of 1998 was
caused by growth in toll message volumes from June 30, 1997.


ANCILLARY SERVICES REVENUES

   1998-1997                         Increase
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                $15,090         18.2%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The Company provides ancillary services which include billing and collection
services provided to long distance carriers and affiliates, customer premises
equipment (CPE) services, facilities rental services for affiliates and
nonaffiliates, usage of separately priced (unbundled) components of its network,
sales of materials and supplies to affiliates and voice messaging services.

   The increase in ancillary services revenues in the first half of 1998 was
primarily as a result of higher facilities rental revenues from affiliates.
Rental revenues were higher in 1998 due to the centralization of data processing
services of certain affiliates in a facility owned by the Company.  Ancillary
services revenues were also higher as a result of increased demand by long
distance carriers and affiliates for billing and collection services.


DIRECTORY AND INFORMATION SERVICES REVENUES

   1998 - 1997                      (Decrease)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                    $(7)         (.5)%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Directory and information services revenues are earned primarily from fees
for nonpublication of telephone numbers and multiple white page listings, and
from a contract with an affiliate for usage of the Company's directory listings.

   Lower fees received from an affiliate for use of the Company's directory
listings was the principal reason for the decrease in directory and information
services revenues in 1998.

EMPLOYEE COSTS

   1998 - 1997                      (Decrease)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                 $(7,035)       (14.3)%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Employee costs consist of salaries, wages and other employee compensation,
employee benefits and payroll taxes paid directly by the Company.  Similar costs
incurred by employees of Bell Atlantic Network Services, Inc. (NSI), who provide
centralized services on a contractual basis, are allocated to the Company and
are included in Other Operating Expenses.

   Employee costs decreased in the first six months of 1998 primarily as a
result of lower pension and benefit costs.  The reduction in pension and benefit
costs was caused by a number of factors, including changes in actuarial
assumptions, favorable pension plan investment returns and lower than expected
medical claims.  The effect of lower work force levels and the effect of
additional costs billed to affiliates associated with a centralized repair and
maintenance center also contributed to the decline in employee costs.  These
cost reductions were offset, in part, by the effect of annual salary and wage
increases for management and associate employees.

   Associate employee wages and pension and other benefits are determined under
a contract with the union representing associate employees of the Company. On
August 11, 1998, the Company and the Communications Workers of America (CWA)
reached a tentative agreement on a new 2-year contract. The contract provides
for wage increases of up to 3.8 percent effective August 9, 1998, and up to 4
percent effective August 8, 1999. Pensions will increase by 11 percent. Union-
represented employees are eligible for standard cash awards of $400 for 1998 and
$500 for 1999, which can be increased or decreased based on financial and
customer care performance results. The new contract also includes other benefit
improvements and certain employment security provisions.

   The labor agreement with the CWA is subject to ratification by the union 
membership, which is expected within the next 30 days.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

   1998 - 1997                      (Decrease)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                 $(1,713)        (2.2)%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the first six months of
1998 over the same period in 1997 principally due to the effect of lower rates
of depreciation and amortization.  This decrease was partially offset by
additional expense resulting from growth in depreciable telephone plant.

TAXES OTHER THAN INCOME

   1998 - 1997                       Increase
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                    $152           .7%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Taxes other than income consist principally of taxes for gross receipts,
property, capital stock and business licenses.

   The increase in taxes other than income was primarily attributable to
additional expense resulting from higher assessments for worker's compensation,
sales and use tax and personal property taxes.  These increases were
substantially offset by lower gross receipts taxes.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

   1998 - 1997                      (Decrease)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                $(11,017)       (10.6)%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Other operating expenses consist of contract services including centralized
services expenses allocated from NSI, rent, network software costs, the
provision for uncollectible accounts receivable, and other costs.

   The decrease in other operating expenses was largely attributable to lower
costs for materials and contract services.  The reduction in contract services
was due, in part, to the disposition of Bell Atlantic's ownership interest in
Bell Communications Research Inc. (Bellcore) in November 1997.  The Company
continues to contract with Bellcore for technical and support services, but to a
lesser extent.  The Company also recognized lower centralized services expenses
allocated from NSI primarily as a result of lower pension and benefit costs
incurred by NSI.  The reduction in centralized services expenses was partially
offset by transition and integration costs allocated to the Company in
connection with the merger of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX Corporation. These
decreases were partially offset by the Company's contribution to the federal
universal service fund, as described earlier, higher network software purchases
and higher interconnection charges for terminating calls on the networks of
competitive local exchange and other carriers.


OTHER INCOME, NET

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                        $14,002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The change in other income, net, was primarily due to a gain recognized on
the disposition of certain property in June 1998.


INTEREST EXPENSE

   1998 - 1997                      (Decrease)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six Months                   $(675)        (7.1)%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Interest expense decreased in the first six months of 1998 as a result of
lower levels of average short-term debt.

EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATES

   1998                                 41.1%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1997                                 39.9%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The effective income tax rate is the provision for income taxes as a
percentage of income before the provision for income taxes.  The Company's
effective income tax rate was higher in the first six months of 1998 principally
due to higher tax credits recorded in 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------

   The Company uses the net cash generated from operations and from external
financing to fund capital expenditures for network expansion and modernization,
and to pay dividends.  While current liabilities exceeded current assets at both
June 30, 1998 and 1997 and December 31, 1997, the Company's sources of funds,
primarily from operations and, to the extent necessary, from readily available
financing arrangements with an affiliate, are sufficient to meet ongoing
operating requirements. Management expects that presently foreseeable capital
requirements will continue to be financed primarily through internally generated
funds. Additional long-term debt may be needed to fund development activities or
to maintain the Company's capital structure to ensure financial flexibility.

   As of June 30, 1998, the Company had $112,100,000 of an unused line of credit
with an affiliate, Bell Atlantic Network Funding Corporation.  In addition, the
Company had $60,000,000 remaining under a shelf registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of unsecured debt
securities.

   The Company's debt ratio was 39.6% as of June 30, 1998, compared to 47.9% as
of June 30, 1997 and 45.0% as of December 31, 1997.

   On July 24, 1998, the Company announced it will redeem $60,000,000 of 7.75%
debentures due in 2013 on August 24, 1998.  In connection with this redemption,
the Company will record an extraordinary charge of $1.0 million in the third
quarter of 1998.

   On August 3, 1998, the Company declared and paid a dividend in the amount of
$4,000,000 to Bell Atlantic.
