                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business

                                    GENERAL


   Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc. (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws
of the State of Maryland and has its principal offices at One East Pratt Street,
Baltimore, Maryland 21202 (telephone number 410-539-9900).  The Company is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Bell Atlantic Corporation ("Bell Atlantic"), which is
one of the seven regional holding companies ("RHCs") formed in connection with
the court-approved divestiture (the "Divestiture"), effective January 1, 1984,
of those assets of  American Telephone and Telegraph Company ("AT&T") related to
exchange telecommunications, exchange access functions, printed directories and
cellular mobile communications.

   The Company presently serves a territory consisting of two complete and parts
of two other Local Access and Transport Areas ("LATAs").  These LATAs are
generally centered on a city or based on some other identifiable common
geography and, with certain limited exceptions, each LATA marks the boundary
within which the Company has historically been permitted to provide telephone
service.

   The Company currently provides two basic types of telecommunications
services.  First, the Company transports telecommunications traffic between
subscribers located within the same LATA ("intraLATA service"), including both
local and toll services.  Local service includes the provision of local exchange
("dial tone"), local private line and public telephone services (including dial
tone service for pay telephones owned by the Company and other pay telephone
providers).  Among other local services provided are Centrex (telephone company
central office-based switched telephone service enabling the subscriber to make
both intercom and outside calls) and a variety of special and custom calling
services.  Toll service includes message toll service (calling service beyond
the local calling area) within LATA boundaries, and intraLATA Wide Area Toll
Service (WATS)/800 services (volume discount offerings for customers with highly
concentrated demand).  Second, the Company provides exchange access service,
which links a subscriber's telephone or other equipment to the transmission
facilities of interexchange carriers which, in turn, provide telecommunications
service between LATAs ("interLATA service") to their customers.  The Company
also provides exchange access service to interexchange carriers which provide
intrastate intraLATA long distance telecommunications service.


      LINE OF BUSINESS RESTRICTIONS AND THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996

   The consent decree entitled "Modification of Final Judgment" ("MFJ") approved
by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the "D.C.
District Court") which, together with the Plan of Reorganization ("Plan")
approved by the D.C. District Court, set forth the terms of Divestiture also
established certain restrictions on the post-Divestiture activities of the RHCs,
including Bell Atlantic and its subsidiaries.  The MFJ's principal restrictions
on post-Divestiture RHC activities included prohibitions on (i) providing
interexchange telecommunications, and (ii) engaging in the manufacture of
telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment ("CPE").

   The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act") became effective on February
8, 1996 and replaces the MFJ.  In general, the Act includes provisions that
would open the Company's local exchange markets to competition and would permit
local exchange carriers, such as the Company, to provide interLATA services
(long distance) and video programming and to engage in manufacturing.  However,
the ability of the Company to engage in businesses previously prohibited by the
MFJ is largely dependent on satisfying certain conditions contained in the Act
and regulations to be promulgated thereunder.  For a brief discussion of certain
provisions of the Act, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations - Factors That May Impact Future Results, Federal Legislation" on
pages 14 and 15.

                                   OPERATIONS

   During 1993, Bell Atlantic reorganized certain functions formerly performed
by each of the seven Bell System operating companies ("BOCs") transferred to it
pursuant to the Divestiture, including the Company (collectively, the "Network
Services Companies"), into lines of business ("LOBs") organized across the
Network Services Companies around specific market segments.  The Network
Services Companies, however, remain responsible within their respective service
areas for the provision of telephone services, financial performance and
regulatory matters.  The LOBs are:

   The Consumer Services LOB markets communications services to residential
       -----------------                                                   
customers within the service territories of the Network Services Companies,
including the service territory of the Company.

   The Carrier Services LOB markets (i) switched and special access to the
       ----------------                                                   
Company's local exchange network, and (ii) billing and collection services,
including recording, rating, bill processing and bill rendering.  The principal
customers of this LOB are interexchange carriers; AT&T is the largest single
customer.  Other customers include business customers and government agencies
with their own special access network connections, wireless companies and other
local exchange carriers ("LECs") which resell network connections to their own
customers.

   The Small Business Services LOB markets communications and information
       -----------------------                                           
services to small businesses (customers having up to 20 access lines).

   The Large Business Services LOB markets communications and information
       -----------------------                                           
services to large businesses (customers having more than 20 access lines).
These services include voice switching/processing services (e.g., dedicated
private lines, custom Centrex, call management and voice messaging), end-user
networking (e.g., credit and debit card transactions, and personal computer-
based conferencing, including data and video), internetworking (establishing
links between the geographically disparate networks of two or more companies or
within the same company), network integration (integrating multiple
geographically disparate networks into one system), network optimization
(disaster avoidance, 911, intelligent vehicle highway systems), video services
(distance learning, telemedicine, videoconferencing) and interactive multi-media
applications services.

   The Directory Services LOB manages the provision of (i) advertising and
       ------------------                                                 
marketing services to advertisers, and (ii) listing information (e.g., White
Pages and Yellow Pages).  These services are currently provided primarily
through print media, but the Company expects that use of electronic formats will
increase in the future.  In addition, the Directory Services LOB manages the
provision of photocomposition, database management and other related products
and services to publishers.

   The Public and Operator Services LOB markets pay telephone and operator
       ----------------------------                                       
services in the service territories of the Network Services Companies to meet
consumer needs for accessing public networks, locating and identifying network
subscribers, providing calling assistance and arranging billing alternatives
(e.g., calling card, collect and third party calls).

   The Federal Systems LOB markets communications and information technology and
       ---------------                                                          
services to departments, agencies and offices of the executive, judicial and
legislative branches of the federal government.

   The Network LOB manages the technologies, services and systems platforms
       -------                                                             
required by the other LOBs and the Network Services Companies, including the
Company, to meet the needs of their respective customers, including switching,
feature development and on-premises installation and maintenance services.


                      FCC REGULATION AND INTERSTATE RATES

   The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") with respect to interstate services and certain related
matters.  The FCC prescribes a uniform system of accounts for telephone
companies, interstate depreciation rates and the principles and standard
procedures used to separate plant investment, expenses, taxes and reserves
between those applicable to interstate services under the jurisdiction of the
FCC and those applicable to intrastate services under the jurisdiction of the
respective state regulatory authorities ("separations procedures").  The FCC
also prescribes procedures for allocating costs and revenues between regulated
and unregulated activities.

                                       2

                        Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc.


   The FCC has prescribed structures for exchange access tariffs to specify the
charges ("access charges") for use and availability of the Company's facilities
for the origination and termination of interstate interLATA service.  In
general, the tariff structures prescribed by the FCC provide that interstate
costs which do not vary based on usage ("non-traffic sensitive costs") are
recovered from subscribers through flat monthly charges ("subscriber line
charges"), and from interexchange carriers through usage-sensitive Carrier
Common Line ("CCL") charges.  Traffic-sensitive interstate costs are recovered
from carriers through variable access charges based on several factors,
primarily usage.

   Price Caps

   The price cap system, which became effective in 1991, (the "Prior Price Cap
Plan") placed a cap on overall LEC prices for interstate access services which
was modified annually, in inflation-adjusted terms, by a fixed percentage which
was intended to reflect increases in productivity.  The price cap level could
also be adjusted to reflect "exogenous" changes, such as changes in FCC
separations procedures or accounting rules.  Under the Prior Price Cap Plan, the
Company was required to share with customers in the form of prospective rate
reductions a portion of its earnings above a certain authorized rate of return.

   In March 1995, the FCC approved an Interim Price Cap Plan ("Interim Plan")
for interstate access charges, which became effective on August 1, 1995, and
replaced the Prior Price Cap Plan.

   Under the Interim Plan, the Company's price cap index must be adjusted by an
inflation index (GDP-PI), less a fixed percentage, either 4.0%, 4.7% or 5.3%,
which is intended to reflect increases in productivity ("Productivity Factor").
Companies selecting the 4.0% or 4.7% Productivity Factor are required to reduce
future prices and share a portion of their interstate return in excess of
12.25%.  Companies selecting the 5.3% Productivity Factor are also required to
reduce prices but are not required to share a portion of their future interstate
earnings.  The Interim Plan also provided for a reduction in the price cap index
of 2.8% to adjust for what the FCC believes was an underestimate in its
calculation of the Productivity Factor in prior years.  The Interim Plan also
eliminated the recovery of certain "exogenous" cost changes, including changes
in accounting costs that the FCC believes have no economic consequences.

   In May 1995, Bell Atlantic selected the 5.3% Productivity Factor for the
August 1995 to June 1996 tariff period. The rates included in the May 1995
filing resulted in price decreases totaling approximately $45,800,000 on an
annual basis. These price decreases included the scheduled expiration of a
temporary rate increase of approximately $14,700,000 on an annualized basis that
was in effect from March 17, 1995 through July 31, 1995 to recover prior years
"exogenous" postemployment benefit costs.  Approximately 80% of the remaining
$31,100,000 reduction resulted from compliance with the Interim Plan.  The
remaining 20% represented reductions that the Company was required to make under
the Prior Price Cap Plan.

   Bell Atlantic appealed the Interim Price Cap Order to the Court of Appeals
for the D.C. Circuit, and that case is currently pending.

   FCC Cost Allocation and Affiliate Transaction Rules

   FCC rules govern: (i) the allocation of costs between the regulated and
unregulated activities of a communications common carrier and (ii) transactions
between the regulated and unregulated affiliates of a communications common
carrier.

   The cost allocation rules apply to certain unregulated activities: activities
that have never been regulated as communications common carrier offerings and
activities that have been preemptively deregulated by the FCC.  The costs of
these activities are removed prior to the separations procedures process and are
assigned to unregulated activities in the aggregate, not to specific services,
for pricing purposes.  Other activities must be accounted for as regulated
activities, and their costs are subject to separations procedures.

   The affiliate transaction rules govern the pricing of assets transferred to
and services provided by affiliates.  These rules generally require that assets
be transferred between affiliates at "market price", if such price can be
established through a tariff or a prevailing price actually charged to third
parties.  In the absence of a tariff or prevailing price, "market price" cannot
be established, in which case (i) asset transfers from a regulated to an
unregulated affiliate must be valued at the higher of cost or fair market value,
and (ii) asset transfers from an unregulated to a regulated affiliate must be
valued at the lower of cost or fair market value.

   The FCC has not attempted to make its cost allocation or affiliate
transaction rules preemptive. State regulatory authorities are free to use
different cost allocation methods and affiliate transaction rules for intrastate
ratemaking and to require carriers to keep separate allocation records.

 
                  STATE REGULATION AND COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT

   The communications services of the Company are subject to regulation by the
Public Service Commission of Maryland (the "PSC") with respect to intrastate
rates and services and certain other matters.

   In January 1993, the PSC continued a regulatory reform plan (the "Reform
Plan"), first adopted in 1990, for regulating the intrastate services provided
by the Company.  The Reform Plan provides for sharing of earnings on Other-Than-
Competitive Services (e.g., basic business and residential dial tone line and
usage, pay telephone services, and intraLATA toll services) within a prescribed
range (12.7% to 16.5% return on equity).  Earnings on Competitive Services
(e.g., Centrex intercom, and high capacity, special access and private line
service) are not subject to rate of return limitation.

   In 1995, the Maryland General Assembly enacted legislation which permits the
PSC to regulate the Company by a method other than rate base rate of return
regulation.

   In December 1995, the Company filed a proposed price cap plan with the PSC.
Under the plan, services would be divided into six categories: Access, Basic-
Residential, Basic-Other, Discretionary, Competitive and Co-Carrier.  Rates for
Access and Basic-Residential Services would be capped for a period of two years,
and rates for Basic-Other Services would be capped for one year.  After the cap
period, rates for services in these three categories could then be increased or
decreased annually under a formula that is based on changes in the rate of
inflation (GDP-PI).

   The Office of People's Counsel, the PSC Staff and MCI Telecommunications
(MCI) have also filed proposed price cap plans for regulating the Company.  In
addition, the Office of People's Counsel and the PSC Staff have argued that the
Company's rates should be reduced by $232 million and $97 million, respectively,
while MCI has asked for an $85 million reduction in the Company's switched
access rates.  The Company has responded that its existing rates are reasonable
and there is no basis to reduce them.  All of these issues are being considered
in a single evidentiary proceeding which is expected to conclude by mid-year
1996.

COMPETITION

   General

   Regulatory changes, as well as new technology, are continuing to expand the
types of available communications services and equipment and the number of
competitors offering such services.  An increasing amount of this competition is
from large companies which have substantial capital, technological and marketing
resources.  For a discussion of competition in the local exchange and intraLATA
toll markets, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
- Factors That May Impact Future Results" on pages 14 and 15.

   Alternative Access

   A substantial portion of the Company's revenues from business and government
customers is derived from a relatively small number of large, multiple-line
subscribers.

   The Company faces competition from alternative communications systems,
constructed by large end users, interexchange carriers and alternative access
vendors, which are capable of originating and/or terminating calls without the
use of the Company's plant.  MFS Communications Company, Inc. ("MFS") has an
optical fiber network which currently competes with the Company in the Baltimore
metropolitan area.  In the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., Institutional
Communications Company, in which MFS has acquired a controlling interest, has
deployed an optical fiber network to compete with the Company in the provision
of switched and special access services and local services.

   The ability of such alternative access providers to compete with the Company
has been enhanced by the FCC's orders requiring the Company to offer virtual
collocated interconnection for special and switched access services.

   Other potential sources of competition are cable television systems, shared
tenant services and other non-carrier systems which are capable of bypassing the
Company's local plant, either partially or completely, through substitution of
special access for switched access or through concentration of
telecommunications traffic on fewer of the Company's lines.

   Personal Communications Services

   Radio-based personal communications services ("PCS") also constitute
potential sources of competition to the Company.  PCS consists of wireless
portable telephone services which would allow customers to make and receive
telephone calls from any location using small handsets, and which could also be
used for data transmission.

   Directories

   The Company continues to face significant competition from other providers of
directories, as well as competition from other advertising media.  In
particular, the former sales representative of several of the Network Services
Companies publishes directories in competition with those published by the
Company in its service territory.

   Public Telephone Services

   The Company faces increasing competition in the provision of pay telephone
services from other pay telephone service providers.  In addition, the growth of
wireless communications negatively impacts usage of public telephones.

   Operator Services

   Alternative operator services providers have entered into competition with
the Company's operator services product line.


                      CERTAIN CONTRACTS AND RELATIONSHIPS

   Certain planning, marketing, procurement, financial, legal, accounting,
technical support and other management services are provided on behalf of the
Company on a centralized basis by Bell Atlantic's wholly owned subsidiary, Bell
Atlantic Network Services, Inc. ("NSI").  Bell Atlantic Network Funding
Corporation provides short-term financing and cash management services to the
Company.

   The seven RHCs each own (directly or through subsidiaries) a one-seventh
interest in Bell Communications Research, Inc. ("Bellcore").  Pursuant to the
Plan, Bellcore furnishes the RHCs and their BOC subsidiaries with technical
assistance such as network planning, engineering and software development, as
well as various other consulting services that can be provided more effectively
on a centralized basis.  Bellcore is the central point of contact for
coordinating the efforts of the RHCs in meeting the national security and
emergency preparedness requirements of the federal government. It also helps to
mobilize the combined resources of the RHCs in times of natural disasters.

                                   EMPLOYEES

   As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 6,800 employees.  This
workforce is augmented by employees of the centralized staff of NSI, who perform
services for the Company on a contract basis.

   "Central office equipment" consists of switching equipment, transmission
equipment and related facilities.  "Cable, wiring and conduit" consists
primarily of aerial cable, underground cable, conduit and wiring.  "Land and
buildings" consists of land owned in fee and improvements thereto, principally
central office buildings.  "Other equipment" consists of public telephone
terminal equipment and other terminal equipment, poles, furniture, office
equipment, and vehicles and other work equipment.  "Other" property consists
primarily of plant under construction, capital leases and leasehold
improvements.

   The Company's customers are served by electronic switching systems that
provide a wide variety of services.  The Company's network is in a transition
from an analog to a digital network, which provides the capabilities to furnish
advanced data transmission and information management services.  At December 31,
1995, approximately 93% of the access lines were served by digital capability.


                              CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

   The Company has been making and expects to continue to make significant
capital expenditures to meet the demand for communications services and to
further improve such services.  Capital expenditures were approximately  $349
million in 1993, $381 million in 1994 and $412 million in 1995.  The total
investment in plant, property and equipment was approximately $5.10 billion at
December 31, 1993, $5.27 billion at December 31, 1994, and $5.42 billion at
December 31, 1995, in each case after giving effect to retirements, but before
deducting accumulated depreciation at such date.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

   Pre-Divestiture Contingent Liabilities and Litigation

   The Plan provides for the recognition and payment by AT&T and the former BOCs
(including the Company) of liabilities that are attributable to pre-Divestiture
events but do not become certain until after Divestiture.  These contingent
liabilities relate principally to litigation and other claims with respect to
the former Bell System's rates, taxes, contracts and torts (including business
torts, such as alleged violations of the antitrust laws).  Except to the extent
that affected parties otherwise agree, contingent liabilities that are
attributable to pre-Divestiture events are shared by AT&T and the BOCs in
accordance with formulas prescribed by the Plan, whether or not an entity was a
party to the proceeding and regardless of whether an entity was dismissed from
the proceeding by virtue of settlement or otherwise.  Each company's allocable
share of liability under these formulas depends on several factors, including
the type of contingent liability involved and each company's relative net
investment as of the effective date of Divestiture.  Under the formula generally
applicable to most of the categories of these contingent liabilities, the
Company's aggregate allocable share of liability is approximately 1.5%.

   AT&T and various of its subsidiaries and the BOCs (including, in some cases,
the Company) have been and are parties to various types of litigation relating
to pre-Divestiture events, including actions and proceedings involving
environmental claims and allegations of violations of equal employment laws.
Damages, if any, ultimately awarded in the remaining actions relating to pre-
Divestiture events could have a financial impact on the Company whether or not
the Company is a defendant since such damages will be treated as contingent
liabilities and allocated in accordance with the allocation rules established by
the Plan.

   Effective in 1994, the Company and the other Regional Holding Companies
agreed to discontinue sharing of new pre-Divestiture claims and certain existing
claims other than claims relating to environmental matters.  AT&T is not a party
to this agreement.

   While complete assurance cannot be given as to the outcome of any contingent
liabilities or litigation, in the opinion of the Company's management, any
monetary liability or financial impact to which the Company would be subject
after final adjudication of all of the remaining potential or actual pre-
Divestiture claims would not be material in amount to the financial position of
the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

   The Company reported net income of $278,648,000 for 1995, compared to a loss
of $102,140,000 for 1994.

   In 1994, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $26,455,000, in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting
for Postemployment Benefits" (Statement No. 112), to recognize the Company's
proportionate share of benefit costs for the separation of employees who are
entitled to benefits under preexisting Bell Atlantic separation pay plans.
Results for 1994 also included a noncash, after-tax extraordinary charge of
$335,119,000 in connection with the Company's decision to discontinue
application of regulatory accounting principles required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain
Types of Regulation" (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements).

   These and other items affecting the comparison of operating results between
1995 and 1994 are discussed in the following sections.

LOCAL SERVICE REVENUES

   Dollars in Thousands              Increase
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                 $28,212        3.1%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Local service revenues are earned by the Company from the provision of local
exchange, local private line and public telephone services.

   Local service revenues increased in 1995 primarily due to a 3.6% growth in
network access lines in service.


NETWORK ACCESS REVENUES

   Dollars in Thousands              Increase
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                 $29,997       5.9%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Network access revenues are received from interexchange carriers (IXCs) for
their use of the Company's local exchange facilities in providing long distance
services to IXCs' customers and from end-user subscribers.  Switched access
service revenues are derived from usage-based charges paid by IXCs for access to
the Company's network.  Special access revenues arise from access charges paid
by IXCs and end-users who have private networks.  End-user access revenues are
earned from local exchange carrier customers who pay for access to the network.

   Network access revenues increased principally due to higher customer demand
for access services as reflected by growth of 7.0% in access minutes of use.
Higher end-user revenues attributable to increases in access lines in service
and lower obligations to affiliated companies pursuant to an interstate revenue
sharing agreement also contributed to the growth in network access revenues in
1995.  Revenues in 1995 were positively impacted by a temporary rate increase
that was in effect from March 17, 1995 through July 31, 1995 to recover prior
years "exogenous" postemployment benefit costs.

   Revenue growth from volume increases was partially offset by the effect of
price reductions under the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Price Cap
Plans.

<PAGE>
 
                        Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc.


   In March 1995, the FCC adopted an order approving an Interim Price Cap Plan
for interstate access charges, which replaced the prior Price Cap Plan.  As
required by the FCC's order, Bell Atlantic filed its Transmittal of Interstate
Rates, which resulted in price decreases for the Company totaling approximately
$45,800,000 on an annual basis, effective August 1, 1995. These price decreases
included the scheduled expiration of a temporary rate increase of approximately
$14,700,000 on an annualized basis that was in effect from March 17, 1995
through July 31, 1995 to recover prior years "exogenous" postemployment benefit
costs.  Also as part of the filing, Bell Atlantic selected a 5.3% Productivity
Factor, which eliminates the requirement to share a portion of interstate
overearnings related to the August 1995 to June 1996 tariff period.

   While the Company expects current volume growth trends to continue, the
impact of the August 1, 1995 price decreases is expected to substantially offset
volume-related growth during the first half of 1996, relative to 1995 network
access revenues.


TOLL SERVICE REVENUES

   Dollars in Thousands            (Decrease)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                $(5,477)          (4.8)%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Toll service revenues are earned from calls made outside a customer's local
calling area, but within the same service area boundaries of the Company,
commonly referred to as Local Access and Transport Areas (LATAs).  Other toll
services include 800 services and Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS).

   The reduction in toll service revenues was principally due to company-
initiated price reductions for intraLATA toll services.  Revenues in 1995 were
also negatively impacted by a reduction in WATS and private line services
principally due to competitive pressures.  These revenue decreases were
partially offset by volume-related revenue growth in certain toll services as
reflected by a 3.7% increase in toll message volumes.

   The Company expects that competition for toll service revenues will continue
in 1996.  See "Factors That May Impact Future Results" below for a further
discussion of toll service revenue issues.


DIRECTORY PUBLISHING REVENUES

   Dollars in Thousands              Increase
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                 $ 8,712           5.7%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Directory publishing revenues are earned primarily from local advertising and
marketing services provided to businesses in White and Yellow Pages directories.
Other directory publishing services include database and foreign directory
marketing.

   Growth in directory publishing revenues was primarily due to higher rates
charged for these services.  Changes in billing procedures and lower customer
claims and disconnects further boosted directory publishing revenues in 1995.
Volume growth continues to be impacted by competition from other directory
companies, as well as other advertising media.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                  $(70)           (.1)%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Other ancillary services include billing and collection services provided to
IXCs and facilities rental services provided to affiliates and non-affiliates.

   Other ancillary services revenues decreased principally due to a reduction in
billing and collection services revenues as a result of the elimination of
certain services from a contract with an IXC.  This decrease was substantially
offset by higher facilities rental revenues from affiliates in 1995.


VALUE-ADDED SERVICES REVENUES

   Dollars in Thousands              Increase
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                 $19,489         10.1%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Value-added services represent a family of services which expand the
utilization of the network.  These services include recent products such as
voice messaging services, Caller ID and Return Call as well as more mature
products such as Centrex, Touch-Tone, and customer premises wiring and
maintenance services.

   Continued growth in the network customer base (access lines) and higher
demand by customers for certain value-added central office and voice messaging
services offered by the Company, including the introduction of Caller ID Deluxe
in the fourth quarter of 1994, increased value-added services revenues in 1995.
Higher demand for customer premises services and equipment by government
customers also contributed to the growth in value-added services revenues in
1995.  These increases were partially offset by a reduction in contract billing
for certain advanced premises services for large business customers. Such
premises services, which were primarily performed by the Company until May 1994,
are now contracted with another affiliate of Bell Atlantic.

   1995 -1994                 $(33,928)        (7.6)%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   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 contract basis, are allocated to the Company and are
included in other operating expenses.

   The decrease in employee costs was principally due to the effect of a third
quarter 1994 charge of $20,725,000 to recognize benefit costs, in accordance
with Statement No. 112, for the separation of employees who are entitled to
benefits under preexisting Bell Atlantic separation pay plans.  Benefit costs
associated with the separation of employees of NSI were

allocated to the Company and included in other operating expenses. Decreased
overtime pay, the effect of lower workforce levels and a reduction in pension
and postretirement benefit costs further reduced employee costs in 1995. These
cost reductions were partially offset by annual salary and wage increases and
the recognition of certain contract labor and separation pay costs in 1995
associated with the contract settlement with the Communications Workers of
America (CWA).

   The Company's contract with the CWA, representing approximately 6,600
employees, expired on August 5, 1995. In January 1996, a tentative three-year
labor agreement was reached, which was subsequently ratified in February 1996.
The agreement includes a 10.6% wage increase over the three-year contract
period, a ratification bonus, improved pensions and benefits, and certain
employment security provisions.

   Depreciation and amortization increased due to growth in depreciable
telephone plant and higher depreciation rates.  The composite depreciation rates
were 8.0% in 1995 and 7.9% in 1994.


OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

   Dollars in Thousands              Increase
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                 $23,667         3.5%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

   The increase in other operating expenses was attributable to higher
centralized services costs allocated from NSI, primarily as a result of
additional costs incurred in that organization to enhance systems, consolidate
work activities and market value-added services at Bell Atlantic's network
services subsidiaries. This increase was partially offset by lower directory
production costs and the effect of a third quarter 1994 charge for the Company's
allocated share of separation benefit costs associated with employees of NSI.


OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSE), NET

   Dollars in Thousands             (Decrease)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                      $(120)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The change in other income and (expense), net was attributable to the
elimination of the allowance for funds used during construction.  Upon the
discontinued application of regulatory accounting principles, effective August
1, 1994, the Company began recognizing capitalized interest costs as a reduction
of interest expense.  Previously, the Company recorded an allowance for funds
used during construction as an item of other income.  This change was
substantially offset by the effects of lower non-operating costs and the
recognition of interest income related to short-term investments.

INTEREST EXPENSE

   Dollars in Thousands             (Decrease)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                $(2,399)          (3.5)%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Interest expense decreased principally due to the recognition of increased
capitalized interest costs, subsequent to the discontinued application of
regulatory accounting principles, effective August 1, 1994.  Partially
offsetting this decrease was additional expense resulting from higher levels of
average short-term debt during 1995.


PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

   Dollars in Thousands              Increase
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995 - 1994                 $27,706         21.4%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATES

   For the Years Ended December 31
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1995                              36.1%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1994                              35.8%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The Company's effective income tax rate was higher in 1995 principally due to
the reduction in the amortization of investment tax credits and the elimination
of the benefit of the income tax rate differential applied to reversing timing
differences, both as a result of the discontinued application of regulatory
accounting principles in August 1994.

   A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective
income tax rate for each period is provided in Note 8 to the Financial
Statements.


FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT FUTURE RESULTS
--------------------------------------

   FEDERAL LEGISLATION

   The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the Act), which became effective on
February 8, 1996, is the most comprehensive revision of the federal
communications laws in over 60 years.  In general, the Act includes provisions
that would open the Company's local exchange markets to competition and would
permit local exchange carriers, such as the Company, upon meeting certain
conditions, to provide interLATA services (long distance) and video programming
and to engage in manufacturing.

   With regard to the rules governing competition in the interLATA market, the
Act takes a two-fold approach. Effective February 8, 1996, Bell Atlantic is
permitted to apply for approval to offer interLATA services outside of the
geographic region in which it currently operates as a local exchange carrier.
Bell Atlantic has announced its plans to offer such services in several states.

   Secondly, within Bell Atlantic's geographic region, each of the telephone
subsidiaries, including the Company, must demonstrate to the FCC that it has
satisfied certain requirements in order to be permitted to offer interLATA
services within its jurisdiction.  Among the requirements with which the Company
must comply is a 14-point "competitive checklist" which is aimed at ensuring
that competitors have the ability to connect to the Company's network.  The
Company must also demonstrate to the FCC that its entry into the interLATA
market would be in the public interest.

   The Act also imposes specific requirements on the Company that are intended
to promote competition in the local exchange markets.  These requirements
include the duty to: (i) provide interconnection to any other carrier for the
transmission and routing of telephone exchange service and exchange access at
any technically feasible point; (ii) provide unbundled access to network
elements at any technically feasible point; (iii) provide retail services for
resale at wholesale 

                                       14

prices; (iv) establish reciprocal compensation arrangements for the origination
and termination of telecommunications and (v) provide physical collocation.

   No definitive prediction can be made as to the specific impact of the Act on
the business or financial condition of the Company.  The financial impact on the
Company will be dependent on several factors, including the timing, extent and
success of competition in the Company's market and the timing, extent and
success of the Company's pursuit of new business opportunities resulting from
the Act.

   COMPETITION

   IntraLATA Toll Services

   Competition to offer intrastate intraLATA toll services is currently
permitted in the Company's jurisdiction. Increased competition from IXCs has
resulted in a decline in several components of the Company's toll services
revenues.

   Currently, intraLATA toll calls are completed by the Company unless the
customer dials a five-digit access code. Presubscription for intraLATA toll
services would enable customers to make intraLATA toll calls using the carrier
of their choice without having to dial the five-digit access code.

   In general, the Act prohibits a state from requiring presubscription or
"dialing parity" until the earlier of such time as an operating telephone
company in the state is authorized to provide long distance services within the
state or three years from the effective date of the Act.  This prohibition does
not apply to a final order requiring an operating telephone company to implement
presubscription that was issued on or prior to December 19, 1995.

   Local Exchange Services

   The ability to offer local exchange services has historically been subject to
regulation by the Public Service Commission of Maryland (PSC).  Since 1994,
applications from competitors to provide and resell local exchange services were
approved by the PSC.  Additional applications from competitors are currently
pending.  The Act is expected to significantly increase the level of competition
in the Company's local exchange market.  However, increased competition in the
local exchange market will facilitate FCC approval of the Company's entry into
the interLATA markets.

   Other

   See Item 1 - Description of Business, Competition on pages 4 and 5 for
additional information on the Company's competitive environment.

   OTHER STATE REGULATORY MATTERS

   The communications services of the Company are subject to regulation by the
PSC with respect to intrastate rates and services and certain other matters.

   In December 1995, the Company filed a proposed price cap plan with the PSC.
Under the plan, services would be divided into six categories: Access, Basic-
Residential, Basic-Other, Discretionary, Competitive and Co-Carrier.  Rates for
Access and Basic-Residential Services would be capped for a period of two years,
and rates for Basic-Other Services would be capped for one year.  After the cap
period, rates for services in these three categories could then be increased or
decreased annually under a formula that is based on changes in the rate of
inflation (GDP-PI).

   The Office of People's Counsel, the PSC Staff and MCI Telecommunications
(MCI) have also filed proposed price cap plans for regulating the Company.  In
addition, the Office of People's Counsel and the PSC Staff have argued that the
Company's rates should be reduced by $232 million and $97 million, respectively,
while MCI has asked for an $85 million reduction in the Company's switched
access rates.  The Company has responded that its existing rates are reasonable
and there is no basis to reduce them.  All of these issues are being considered
in a single evidentiary proceeding which is expected to conclude by mid-year
1996.

complete description of the Company's current regulatory plan.


OTHER MATTERS
-------------

   Environmental Issues

   The Company is subject to a number of environmental proceedings as a result
of its operations and the shared liability provisions in the Plan of
Reorganization related to the Modification of Final Judgment.  The Company is
also responsible for the remediation of sites with underground fuel storage
tanks and other expenses associated with environmental compliance.

   The Company continually monitors its operations with respect to potential
environmental issues, including changes in legally mandated standards and
remediation technologies.  The Company's recorded liabilities reflect those
specific situations where remediation activities are currently deemed to be
probable and where the cost of remediation is estimable.  Management believes
that the aggregate amount of any additional potential liability would not have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.


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

   Management believes that the Company has adequate internal and external
resources available to meet ongoing operating requirements, including network
expansion and modernization, and payment of dividends.  Management expects that
presently foreseeable capital requirements will be financed primarily through
internally generated funds.  Additional long-term debt may be needed to fund
development activities and to maintain the Company's capital structure within
management's guidelines.

   As of December 31, 1995, the Company had $169,471,000 of an unused line of
credit with an affiliate, Bell Atlantic Network Funding Corporation.  In
addition, the Company had $50,000,000 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 52.5% at December 31, 1995, compared to 51.9% at
December 31, 1994.

   On February 1, 1996, the Company declared and paid a dividend in the amount
of $52,520,000 to Bell Atlantic.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Shareowner of
Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc.


We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement schedule of
Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc. as listed in the index on page F-1 of this Form
10-K.  The financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of  Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc.
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  In addition, in our
opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in
all material respects, the information required to be included therein.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, the Company
discontinued accounting for its operations in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain
Types of Regulation," effective August 1, 1994.  Also, as discussed in Notes 1,
7 and 8 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes and postemployment benefits in 1993.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

   Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Bell Atlantic Corporation (Bell Atlantic).  The Company provides two basic types
of telecommunications services in a territory consisting of two complete and
parts of two other Local Access and Transport Areas (LATAs) in the state of
Maryland.  First, the Company transports telecommunications traffic between
subscribers located within the same LATA (intraLATA service), including both
local and toll services.  Local service includes the provision of local
exchange, local private line and public telephone services. Toll service
includes message toll services and intraLATA Wide Area Toll Service/800
services.  Second, the Company provides exchange access service, which links a
subscriber's telephone equipment to the facilities of an interexchange carrier
(IXC) which, in turn, provides telecommunications service between LATAs
(interLATA service) to their customers. The Company also provides exchange
access service to IXCs which provide intrastate intraLATA long distance
telecommunications service.  Other services provided by the Company include
directory publishing, customer premises wiring and maintenance, and billing and
collection services.

   The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is the most comprehensive revision of the
federal communications laws in over 60 years.  In general, the
Telecommunications Act includes provisions that would open the Company's local
exchange markets to competition and would permit local exchange carriers, such
as the Company, upon meeting certain conditions, to provide interLATA services
(long distance) and video programming and to engage in manufacturing.

   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   Effective August 1, 1994, the Company discontinued accounting for its
operations under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" (Statement
No. 71) (see Note 2).

   USE OF ESTIMATES

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities and
disclosure of contingencies.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   REVENUE RECOGNITION

   Revenues are recognized as earned on the accrual basis, which is generally
when services are rendered based on the usage of the Company's local exchange
network and facilities.

   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

   The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90
days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents are stated
at cost, which approximates market value.

   SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

   Short-term investments consist of investments that mature 91 days to 12
months from the date of purchase.  Short-term investments are stated at cost,
which approximates market value.

   MATERIAL AND SUPPLIES

   New and reusable materials are carried in inventory, principally at average
original cost, except that specific costs are used in the case of large
individual items.

                                      F-7
<PAGE>
 
                        Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc.

   PREPAID DIRECTORY

   Costs of directory production and advertising sales are principally deferred
until the directory is published.  Such costs are amortized to expense and the
related advertising revenues are recognized over the average life of the
directory, which is generally 12 months.

   PLANT AND DEPRECIATION

   The Company's provision for depreciation is based principally on the
composite group remaining life method of depreciation and straight-line
composite rates.  This method provides for the recovery of the remaining net
investment in telephone plant, less anticipated net salvage value, over the
remaining asset lives.  The composite group method requires periodic revisions
to depreciation rates based on a number of variables, including retirement
estimates, survivor curves, salvage, and cost of removal.

   In connection with the discontinued application of Statement No. 71,
effective August 1, 1994, for financial reporting purposes, the Company began
using estimated asset lives for certain categories of plant and equipment that
were shorter than those approved by regulators prior to the discontinuance of
Statement No. 71.  The shorter lives result principally from the Company's
expectation as to the revenue-producing lives of the assets.

   The following asset lives were used in 1994 and 1995:

<TABLE>

                                JANUARY 1, 1994     EFFECTIVE

Other equipment................        7 - 34          6 - 34      5 - 30
</TABLE>

   When depreciable plant is replaced or retired, the amounts at which such
plant has been carried in plant, property and equipment are removed from the
respective accounts and charged to accumulated depreciation, and any gains or
losses on disposition are amortized over the remaining asset lives of the
remaining net investment in telephone plant.

   MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

   The cost of maintenance and repairs, including the cost of replacing minor
items not constituting substantial betterments, is charged to operating expense.

   CAPITALIZED INTEREST COST

   Upon the discontinued application of Statement No. 71, effective August 1,
1994, the Company began reporting capitalized interest as a cost of telephone
plant and equipment and a reduction in interest expense, in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34,
"Capitalization of Interest Cost."

   Prior to the discontinued application of Statement No. 71, the Company
recorded an allowance for funds used during construction, which included both
interest and equity return components, as a cost of plant and as an item of
other income.

   EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

   Pensions, Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, and Postemployment
Benefits

   Substantially all employees of the Company are covered under multi-employer
noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health and life
insurance benefit plans sponsored by Bell Atlantic and certain of its
subsidiaries, including the Company.

                                      F-8
<PAGE>
 
                        Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc.
 
   Amounts contributed to the Company's pension plans are actuarially
determined, principally under the aggregate cost actuarial method, and are
subject to applicable federal income tax regulations.  Amounts contributed to
501(c)(9) trusts and 401(h) accounts under applicable federal income tax
regulations to pay certain postretirement benefits are actuarially determined,
principally under the aggregate cost actuarial method.

   The Company also provides employees with postemployment benefits such as
disability benefits, workers' compensation, and severance pay.  Effective
January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."

   INCOME TAXES

   Bell Atlantic and its domestic subsidiaries, including the Company, file a
consolidated federal income tax return.

   Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (Statement No. 109).

   The consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense is allocated by
applying the provisions of Statement No. 109 to each subsidiary as if it were a
separate taxpayer.

   The Tax Reform Act of 1986 repealed the investment tax credit (ITC) as of
January 1, 1986, subject to certain transitional rules.  ITCs were deferred and
are being amortized as a reduction to income tax expense over the estimated
service lives of the related assets.

   RECLASSIFICATIONS

   Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to conform to
1995 classifications.


2. DISCONTINUATION OF REGULATORY ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

   In the third quarter of 1994, the Company determined that it was no longer
eligible for continued application of the accounting required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain
Types of Regulation" (Statement No. 71).  In connection with the decision to
discontinue regulatory accounting principles under Statement No. 71, the Company
recorded a noncash, extraordinary charge of $335,119,000, which is net of an
income tax benefit of $230,341,000.

   The Company's determination that it was no longer eligible for continued
application of the accounting required by Statement No. 71 was based on the
belief that the convergence of competition, technological change, actual and
potential regulatory, legislative and judicial actions, and other factors were
creating fully open and competitive markets.  In such markets, the Company does
not believe it can be assured that prices can be maintained at levels that will
recover the net carrying amount of existing telephone plant and equipment, which
has been depreciated over relatively long regulator-prescribed lives.  In
addition, changes from cost-based regulation to a form of incentive regulation
contributed to the determination that the continued application of Statement No.
71 was inappropriate.

   A summary of the components of the after-tax charge recognized as a result of
the discontinued application of Statement No. 71 follows:

   Total.........................................................            $335,119
                                                                             ========

   The increase in the accumulated depreciation reserve was supported by both an
impairment analysis, which identified estimated amounts not recoverable from
future discounted cash flows, and a depreciation study, which identified
inadequate depreciation reserve levels which the Company believes resulted
principally from the cumulative underdepreciation of plant as a result of the
regulatory process.  Investment tax credit amortization was accelerated as a
result of the reduction in remaining asset lives of the associated telephone
plant and equipment.

   Tax-related regulatory assets of $86,710,000 and tax-related regulatory
liabilities of $88,584,000, which were established upon the adoption of
Statement No. 109 and amortized as the related deferred taxes were recognized in
the ratemaking process, were eliminated (see Note 8).  The elimination of other
regulatory assets and liabilities relates principally to deferred debt
refinancing and vacation pay costs, which were being amortized as they were
recognized in the ratemaking process.

4. LEASES

   The Company leases certain facilities and equipment for use in its operations
under both capital and operating leases. Plant, property and equipment included
capital leases of $37,462,000 and $36,647,000, and related accumulated
amortization of $14,298,000 and $13,905,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,

   Long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 1995 includes $235,000,000 that is
callable by the Company.  The call prices range from 102.3% to 100.5% of face
value, depending upon the remaining term to maturity of the issue.  In addition,
long-term debt includes $100,000,000, bearing interest at 8.3%, and $50,000,000,
bearing interest at 8.0%, that will become redeemable only on August 1, 1996 and
October 15, 1996, respectively, at the option of the holders.  The redemption
prices will be 100.0% of face value, plus accrued interest.

   In 1993, the Company recorded an extraordinary charge associated with the
early extinguishment of debentures called by the Company of $19,921,000, net of
an income tax benefit of $11,099,000.

   At December 31, 1995, the Company had $50,000,000 remaining under a shelf
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

   Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of trade receivables.

   Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables other than
those from AT&T are limited due to the large number of customers in the
Company's customer base.  For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
revenues generated from services provided to AT&T, primarily network access and
billing and collection, were $202,452,000, $204,624,000 and $209,971,000,
respectively.  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, Accounts receivable, net, included
$14,083,000 and $15,657,000, respectively, from AT&T.

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

   PENSION PLANS

   Substantially all of the Company's management and associate employees are
covered under multi-employer noncontributory defined benefit pension plans
sponsored by Bell Atlantic and certain of its subsidiaries, including the
Company.  The pension benefit formula is based on a flat dollar amount per year
of service according to job classification under the associate plan.  The
pension benefit formula for plans covering management employees in 1995 and
prior years is based on a stated percentage of adjusted career average earnings.
The Company's objective in funding these plans is to accumulate funds at a
relatively stable level over participants' working lives so that benefits are
fully funded at retirement. Plan assets consist principally of investments in
domestic and foreign corporate equity securities, U.S. and foreign government
and corporate debt securities, and real estate.

   Effective January 1, 1996, the plan covering management employees was
converted to a cash balance plan.  Under the cash balance plan, pension benefits
are determined by a combination of compensation credits based on age and service
and individual account-based interest credits.  Each management employee's
opening account balance is based on accrued pension benefits as of December 31,
1995, and converted to a lump-sum amount determined under the prior plan's
provisions.  The lump-sum value is multiplied by a transition factor, based on
age and service, to arrive at the opening balance.

   Pension cost was $3,824,000, $15,195,000 and $14,139,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The reduction in 1995 pension
cost is principally due to an increase in the discount rate from 7.25% at
December 31, 1993 to 8.25% at December 31, 1994, and plan changes.

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting
for Pensions" (Statement No. 87) requires a comparison of the actuarial present
value of projected benefit obligations with the fair value of plan assets, the
disclosure of the components of net periodic pension costs and a reconciliation
of the funded status of the plans with amounts recorded on the balance sheets.
The Company participates in multi-employer plans and therefore, such 


                                     F-13
<PAGE>
 
                        Bell Atlantic - Maryland, Inc.

disclosures are not presented for the Company because the structure of the plans
does not allow for the determination of this information on an individual
participating company basis.

   The significant assumptions used for the pension measurements were as follows
at December 31:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
 
                                                      1995   1994   1993

   Rate of future increases in compensation levels..  4.75%  5.25%  5.25%
</TABLE>

   The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.25% for 1995, 1994
and 1993.

   Pension benefits for associate employees are subject to collective
bargaining.  Modifications in pension benefits have been bargained from time to
time.  Additionally, the Company has amended the benefit formula under pension
plans maintained for its management employees.  Substantive commitments for
future amendments to the Company's pension plans have been reflected in
determining the Company's pension cost.  The actuarial assumptions used to
determine pension cost are based on financial market interest rates, past
experience, and management's best estimate of future benefit changes and
economic conditions.  Changes in these assumptions may impact future pension
cost levels and benefit obligations.

   POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

   Substantially all of the Company's management and associate employees are
covered under postretirement health and life insurance benefit plans sponsored
by Bell Atlantic and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Company.  The
determination of benefit cost for postretirement health benefit plans is based
on comprehensive medical and dental benefit plan provisions.  The postretirement
life insurance benefit formula used in the determination of postretirement
benefit cost is primarily based on annual basic pay at retirement.  The Company
funds the postretirement health and life insurance benefits of current and
future retirees.  Plan assets consist principally of investments in domestic and
foreign corporate equity securities, and U.S. Government and corporate debt
securities.

   Postretirement benefit cost was $29,041,000, $37,659,000 and $38,653,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Postretirement
benefit cost decreased in 1995 principally as a result of an increase in the
discount rate from 7.25% at December 31, 1993 to 8.25% at December 31, 1994, and
the effect of favorable plan experience.

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," (Statement No. 106) requires a
comparison of the actuarial present value of projected postretirement benefit
obligations with the fair value of plan assets, the disclosure of the components
of net periodic postretirement benefit costs, a reconciliation of the funded
status of the plan with amounts recorded on the balance sheets and the effect of
a one-percentage-point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates for
each future year on net periodic postretirement benefit cost and the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation.  The Company participates in multi-employer
plans and therefore, such disclosures are not presented for the Company because
the structure of the plans does not provide for the determination of this
information on an individual participating company basis.

   Assumptions used in the actuarial computations for postretirement benefits
are as follows at December 31:

and 1993.

   Postretirement benefits other than pensions for associate employees are
subject to collective bargaining agreements and have been modified from time to
time.  The Company has also periodically modified benefits under plans
maintained for its management employees. Substantive commitments for future
amendments to the Company's postretirement benefit plans have been reflected in
determining the Company's postretirement benefit cost. The actuarial assumptions
used to determine postretirement benefit cost are based on financial market
interest rates, past experience, and management's best estimate of future
benefit changes and economic conditions.  Changes in these assumptions may
impact future postretirement benefit cost levels and benefit obligations.

   POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

   Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits" (Statement No. 112).  The cumulative effect at January 1, 1993 of
adopting Statement No. 112 reduced net income by $14,271,000, net of a deferred
income tax benefit of $7,881,000.

   In the third quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a pretax charge of
$26,455,000 to recognize the Company's proportionate share of benefit costs for
the separation of employees who are entitled to benefits under preexisting Bell
Atlantic separation pay plans.  The charge, which was actuarially determined,
represents benefits earned through July 1, 1994 for employees who are expected
to receive separation payments in the future.

   SAVINGS PLANS AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS

   Substantially all of the Company's employees are eligible to participate in
savings plans established by Bell Atlantic to provide opportunities for eligible
employees to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis and encourage employees
to acquire and maintain an equity interest in Bell Atlantic.  Under these plans,
a certain percentage of eligible employee contributions are matched with shares
of Bell Atlantic common stock.  Bell Atlantic funds the matching contribution
through two leveraged employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs).  Bell Atlantic
accounts for its ESOPs in accordance with the accounting rules applicable to
companies with ESOP trusts that held securities prior to December 15, 1989.  The
Company recognizes its proportionate share of total ESOP cost based on the
Company's matching obligation attributable to participating Company employees.
The Company recorded total ESOP cost of $8,580,000, $7,489,000 and $6,751,000 in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.


8. INCOME TAXES

   Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (Statement No. 109).

   As of January 1, 1993, the Company recorded a charge to income of $193,000,
representing the cumulative effect of adopting Statement No. 109, which has been
reflected in the Provision for Income Taxes in the Statement of Operations and
Reinvested Earnings.

   Upon adoption of Statement No. 109, the effects of required adjustments to
deferred tax balances of the Company, which would be recognized in the future
for regulatory purposes, were deferred on the balance sheet as regulatory assets
and liabilities in accordance with Statement No. 71.  At January 1, 1993, the
Company recorded income tax-related regulatory assets totaling $108,518,000 in
Other Assets and income tax-related regulatory liabilities totaling $127,475,000
in Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities - Other.  During 1993, these
regulatory assets were increased by $4,345,000 and regulatory liabilities were
reduced by $16,727,000 for the effect of the federal income tax rate increase
from 34% to 35%, effective January 1, 1993.

   The income tax-related regulatory assets and liabilities were eliminated as a
result of the discontinued application of Statement No. 71, effective August 1,
1994 (see Note 2).

   As a result of the increase in the federal corporate income tax rate from 34%
to 35%, effective January 1, 1993, the Company recorded a net benefit to the tax
provision of $293,000 in 1993.

   The provision for income taxes varies from the amount computed by applying
the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income
taxes.  The difference is attributable to the following factors:
