CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)                   Sprint-Florida, Incorporated


The  information in this Form 10-Q has been prepared  according to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In management's opinion,
these  consolidated   interim  financial   statements  reflect  all  adjustments
(consisting  only of normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary  to present  fairly
Sprint-Florida,  Incorporated's  consolidated  financial  position,  results  of
operations and cash flows.

Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in consolidated
financial   statements  prepared  according  to  generally  accepted  accounting
principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated  financial
statements  should be read in connection with the  Sprint-Florida,  Incorporated
1997 annual  report on Form 10-K.  Operating  results for the 1998  year-to-date
period are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  operating  results  that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

1.  Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Sprint-Florida,
Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiary  (Sprint-Florida).  All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Sprint-Florida is, indirectly, a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Sprint Corporation (Sprint);  as a result,  earnings
per share information has been omitted.

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are prepared  according to GAAP.  GAAP
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts of assets and  liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets and
liabilities,  and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Certain   prior-year   amounts  have  been   reclassified   to  conform  to  the
current-period  presentation.  These  reclassifications  had  no  effect  on the
results of operations or shareholder's equity as previously reported.

2.  Repurchase of Accounts Receivable

In January 1998, Sprint-Florida  repurchased $190 million of accounts receivable
sold to an affiliated company in December 1997. Accordingly, the transaction was
treated as a borrowing in the 1997 year-end financial statements.

                                                                         Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                               Sprint-Florida, Incorporated

General

Sprint-Florida, Incorporated, with its wholly-owned subsidiary, (Sprint-Florida)
includes certain estimates,  projections and other forward-looking statements in
its reports,  in  presentations  to analysts and others,  and in other  publicly
available  material.  Future performance  cannot be ensured.  Actual results may
differ  materially from those in the  forward-looking  statements.  Factors that
could cause actual  results to differ  materially  from estimates or projections
contained in the forward-looking statements include:

         - the  effects  of  vigorous   competition  in  the  markets  in  which
           Sprint-Florida  operates; 
         - the impact of any unusual items resulting from ongoing evaluations of
           Sprint-Florida's business strategies;
         - requirements  imposed  on  Sprint-Florida  or  latitude  allowed  its
           competitors  by the  Federal  Communications  Commission (FCC) or the
           Florida Public Service Commission under the Telecommunications Act of
           1996;
         - unexpected results of litigation filed against Sprint-Florida;
         - the impact of the Year 2000 issue and any related noncompliance; and
         - the possibility of one or more of the markets in which Sprint-Florida
           competes  being  impacted by changes in  political, economic or other
           factors such as legal and regulatory changes or other external
           factors over which Sprint-Florida has no control.

The words  "estimate",  "project",  "intend",  "expect",  "believe"  and similar
expressions  are  intended  to  identify   forward-looking   statements.   These
forward-looking  statements are found at various places throughout  Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of  Operations.  Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date hereof. Sprint-Florida undertakes no obligation to publicly release any
revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date  hereof or to reflect the  occurrence  of  unanticipated  events.
Moreover, Sprint-Florida,  through senior management, may from time to time make
forward-looking  statements about the matters  described herein or other matters
concerning Sprint-Florida.

Net Operating Revenues

Net operating  revenues  increased 2% in the 1998  year-to-date  period compared
with the same 1997 period. This increase reflects customer access line growth of
6.6% during the past 12 months,  offset by  decreases  in toll service and other
revenues.

Local service revenues,  derived from local exchange  services,  increased 9% in
the 1998 year-to-date  period from the same 1997 period.  Local service revenues
increased because of continued demand for network-based  services such as Caller
ID and Call Waiting. This increase also reflects increased sales of private line
services and maintenance of customer wiring and equipment.

Network access revenues,  derived from interexchange long distance carriers' use
of the local network to complete calls,  increased 2% for the 1998  year-to-date
period  compared  with the same  1997  period.  The 1998  year-to-date  revenues
reflect an 8% increase in minutes of use, partly offset by  FCC-mandated  access
rate reductions.

Toll service  revenues are mainly derived from providing long distance  services
within specified  regional calling areas that are beyond the local calling area.
Year-to-date 1998 toll service revenues declined 33% compared with the same 1997
period.  This  decrease  was  mainly due to  extended  local  calling  areas and
increased competition in the intrastate long distance market. These losses were,
in part,  offset by  increases  in the  division's  local  service  revenues and
network  access  revenues.  In addition,  Sprint's  long  distance  division has
acquired  some of the  customer  base to help  mitigate  the  erosion  of  these
revenues.

Other revenues include  telecommunications  equipment sales, directory sales and
listing  services,  and  billing  and  collection  services.   During  the  1998
year-to-date  period,  other revenues  decreased 11% compared with the same 1997
period. This decrease mainly reflects a July 1997 change in transfer pricing for
certain  transactions  between  Sprint-Florida and Sprint's product distribution
and directory  publishing  division to more  accurately  reflect market pricing.
This decrease was partly offset by increased equipment sales.

Operating Expenses

Costs of services  and  products  consists  of costs  related to  operating  and
maintaining  the local  network and costs of  equipment  sales.  These  expenses
increased 4% in the 1998  year-to-date  period  compared  with the same period a
year ago. This reflects continued cost control,  while still supporting customer
access line growth and increased equipment sales. Costs of services and products
was 32.3% of net operating  revenues in the 1998  year-to-date  period and 31.6%
for the same period a year ago.

Selling,  general and  administrative  (SG&A)  expense  increased 5% in the 1998
year-to-date period compared with the same 1997 period. This increase was mainly
due to  increased  customer  service  costs  related to access  line  growth and
marketing costs to promote new products and services.  SG&A expense was 19.1% of
net operating  revenues for the 1998 year-to-date  period and 18.6% for the same
period a year ago.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  decreased 4% in the 1998  year-to-date
period  compared  with  the same  1997  period.  This  decrease  reflects  lower
depreciation  rates  resulting  from longer  asset  lives,  partly  offset by an
increase in plant additions.  Depreciation and amortization expense was 18.2% of
net operating  revenues in the 1998  year-to-date  period and 19.2% for the same
period a year ago.

Extraordinary Item

In the 1998 first  quarter,  Sprint-Florida  redeemed,  prior to maturity,  $115
million  of debt with a 9.25%  interest  rate.  This  resulted  in a $4  million
after-tax loss.
