REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Participants and Administrative
Committee of the MCI Communications Corporation 401(k) Plan for
Non-Exempt Employees
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the MCI Communications Corporation 401(k) Plan for Non-Exempt Employees
(formerly MCI Consumer Markets 401(k) Plan) and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but is additional information
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

401(K) FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
(FORMERLY MCI CONSUMER MARKETS 401(K) PLAN)
EIN: 52-0886267
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON FORM 11-K
December 31, 1996 and 1995
NOTE 1- DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the MCI Communications Corporation
401(k) Plan for Non-Exempt Employees (the "Plan" or "401(k)") is provided
for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the
Plan document for more complete information. The Plan is subject to the
applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA").
Effective January 1, 1996, the MCI Consumer Markets 401(k) and Employee
Stock Ownership Plan and the MCI Communications Corporation Employee Stock
Ownership and 401(k) Plan ("MCI Plan") were restructured and renamed the
MCI Communications Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plan for
Non-Exempt Employees ("Non-Exempt Plan") and the MCI Communications
Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plan for Exempt Employees
("Exempt Plan"), respectively. Also, the plan sponsorship changed from MCIT
to the Company. The MCI Communications Corporation ESOP and 401(k) Plan for
Non-Exempt Employees is comprised of two parts: Part I is an employee stock
ownership plan ("ESOP"), Part II is the 401(k) Plan. The accompanying
financial statements are solely those of Part II and are not intended to
present the net assets available for benefits or the changes in net assets
available for benefits of the MCI Communications Corporation ESOP and
401(k) Plan for Non-Exempt Employees taken as a whole. The Company
separately prepares an annual report on the overall MCI Communications
Corporation ESOP and 401(k) plan for Non-Exempt Employees which is
submitted to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") on Form 5500 and is made
available to all employees upon request.
The assets of this Plan are combined with those of the Exempt Plan into the
MCI Communications Corporation Defined Contribution Master Trust. This
arrangement facilitates the administration of the Plans as described below.
Under the terms of the master trust agreement, each plan has a specific
interest in all assets and liabilities of the trust.
Page 7
Contributions
- -------------
The Plan is a defined contribution, deferred savings plan. Under the Plan,
employees become eligible to participate upon completion of one year of
service with 1,000 hours of service and attainment of age 21. As a result
of the restructuring of the Plan, the Plan was amended to include all
non-exempt participants from the MCI Plan. (A non-exempt employee is an
employee who is not exempt from the maximum hours limitation under the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended). All exempt participants in the
Plan were transferred to the Exempt Plan. No further modifications were
made to the Plan's provisions. Eligible employees may elect to defer up to
15% of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis, to be contributed to the
Plan by the Company on behalf of such employees ("Elective Contributions").
The first 6% of each participant's Elective Contributions is eligible for a
Company matching contribution in the form of MCI Communications Corporation
Common Stock. The Company provides a matching contribution of $.67 for each
eligible dollar of Elective Contributions made to the Plan. The Company's
matching contribution is made biweekly and is determined by the closing
price of MCI Communications Corporation Common Stock on the date posted to
the participants' accounts. Participants' Elective Contributions are
withheld from their biweekly paychecks and the Company transfers these
contributions to the Plan each pay period. Participants vest in the
Company's matching contributions at a rate of 20% per year of service and
are always 100% vested in their Elective Contributions. Participants
receive a year of service for vesting purposes for each Plan year during
which they complete at least 1,000 hours of service.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Plan decreased the number of investment options
from sixteen to seven funds. Participants with balances in the funds that
were eliminated were allowed to reallocate their fund balances into the
seven remaining funds. Elective Contributions are invested in any of the
seven investment funds in accordance with participants' instructions. The
available investment funds as of July 1, 1995 are:
- MCI Common Stock Fund
A fund investing in MCI Communications Corporation Common
Stock. These shares of stock are qualified employer securities as
defined by ERISA.
Page 8
- EuroPacific Growth Fund
A long term growth fund invested primarily in securities of
issuers domiciled in Europe and the Pacific Basin. The fund is a member
of the American Funds Group and is managed by Capital Research and
Management Company.
- Dreyfus S&P 500 Stock Index Portfolio
An equity index mutual fund invested in common stock which is
comparable to the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index. All investment
decisions are made by Dreyfus Corporation, an affiliate of the Plan
trustee. The trustee oversees the fund in accordance with the trust
agreement.
- Putnam Voyager Fund
A long term growth fund invested in a diversified
portfolio of two types of common stocks: emerging growth stocks and
opportunity stocks. The fund is managed by Putnam Investment
Management, Inc.
- Putnam New Opportunities Fund
A growth fund invested primarily in common stock of
companies in economic sectors with above-average prospects for
growth. Putnam Investment Management, Inc. makes the investment
decisions for the fund and is subject to the policies established by
the fund's trustee.
- Putnam Balanced Retirement Fund
A growth and income fund invested in a diversified
portfolio of equity and debt securities. Putnam Investment
Management, Inc. makes the investment decisions for the fund
and is subject to the policies established by the fund's trustee.
- Stable Asset Fund
The fund consists primarily of guaranteed investment
contracts (GICs) issued by insurance companies and contracts
with other financial institutions that offer fixed interest rates
on investments. This fund was formerly known as the Long-Term
Fixed Income Fund. The fund seeks to maintain a constant book value
of $1.00 per share. The guaranteed rates of interest range from
5.6% to 8.08% at December 31, 1996.

the Master Trust as of December 31:

This fund also includes investment in the Mellon Bank Temporary
Investment Fund (TIF) to satisfy any liquidity needs and also serves as
a temporary account to hold funds from maturing interests.
Participant Accounts
---------------------------
Each individual's investment in the funds is recorded in their participant
account on a unit value basis with the exception of MCI Stock Fund which is
recorded on a per share basis. The Plan is processed on a daily valuation
basis.
Page 10
Participants may transfer all or part of the balance in their Elective
Contributions and related earnings from one fund to another once each
calendar month. Participants may reallocate their matching contributions
balance that is 100% vested as of the prior year end once per plan year.
Participants may change the allocation of their future contributions among
the funds with unlimited frequency. Participants' allocations are affected
by the last change placed prior to payroll processing.
Certain participants have the right to diversify a portion of their account
in the ESOP, Part I of the Non-Exempt Plan, and transfer that portion of
their account to the 401(k). Participants in the ESOP, who have attained at
least 55 years of age and have been a participant in the ESOP for at least
10 years, are eligible to diversify under these provisions. During 1996,
5,319 shares of MCI Communications Corporation Common Stock at a fair
market value on the diversification date of $136,299 were transferred from
the ESOP to the 401(k) pursuant to these provisions. There were no
diversifications to the 401(k) during 1995. Participants who are 100%
vested are permitted to diversify amounts in their Matching Contribution
account once per calendar year. During 1996 and 1995, 39,393 and 19,130
shares of MCI Communications Corporation Common Stock at a fair market
value on the diversification date of $1,097,807 and $456,683, respectively,
were transferred from the Employer Matching Contributions accounts to the
Elective Contributions accounts pursuant to these provisions.
Participant Loans
- ----------------------
The Plan allows participants to borrow up to one-half of the vested account
balance (or $50,000, whichever is less). The minimum loan amount is $1,000
and the minimum term of a loan is one year. The maximum term of a loan is
five years for a general purpose loan and fifteen years for a primary
residence loan. Only one loan of each type, general purpose and primary
residence, may be outstanding at any time. Effective January 1, 1995, the
Plan charges a $30 origination fee for loans. Loan proceeds are disbursed
pro rata from each of the participants' investment funds, and are repaid
through biweekly payroll deductions. Loan repayments of principal and
Page 11
interest are invested based on the participants' current investment
elections. Interest rates for new loans are determined monthly based on the
prime rate as published on the first business day of each month in THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL, plus one percentage point. The interest rate is fixed for
the term of the loan. Loans can be repaid in full by a cashier's or
certified check. During Plan years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
$3,598,955 and $2,052,500 in loans were disbursed and principal repayments
of $1,783,718 and $997,674, respectively, were made.
Participant Benefit Payments
- ------------------------------------
Distribution of the benefits in a participant's Plan account is normally
made only after the participant ceases to be an employee of the Company.
However, the account of a participant's Elective Contributions may be
withdrawn prior to termination of employment if the participant is under
age 59 1/2 and can demonstrate an economic hardship (as defined in the
Plan). A participant who has attained age 59 1/2 may withdraw all or any
portion of his Elective Contributions account in accordance with the terms
of the Plan. Upon termination of employment, a participant receives all
vested assets in accounts established on his behalf under the Plan.
Non-vested portions of a terminated participant's accounts are forfeited
and used to offset future Company matching contributions. Effective January
1, 1995, participants who terminate employment and elect to keep their
funds in the Plan are charged a $20 annual account maintenance fee. The
Plan was amended effective January 24, 1995, to provide for the
distribution in a lump sum of terminated participant accounts with a vested
balance of less than $3,500. This distribution generally occurs no sooner
than six months after the participant's termination of employment date. As
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, forfeitures included in the Plan were
$990,812 and $655,370, respectively, which included 28,996 and 23,585
forfeited shares of MCI Communications Corporation Common Stock, at
year-end fair market values of $947,792 and $616,158, respectively.
Plan Administration
- -------------------------
The Plan is not a defined benefit plan and accordingly, Plan benefits are
not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. The Company is
the plan administrator and has
Page 12
appointed an Administrative Committee to administer the Plan. The
Administrative Committee is responsible for carrying out the provisions of
the Plan and may employ such experts as deemed necessary. Plan assets are
held by the trustee, Mellon Bank, N.A. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The
recordkeeper for the Plan is Putnam Investments, Inc. The Company reserves
its rights under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate
the Plan at any time. Upon such termination, all amounts funded shall
become nonforfeitable and shall be provided for and paid from the Plan's
trust in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 4044 of
ERISA. The Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue its
contributions nor to terminate the Plan.
The Plan's holdings of MCI Communications Corporation Common Stock, various
Putnam Investments, Inc. mutual funds, and a Mellon Bank mutual fund and
collective trust account are party-in-interest investments.
NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
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 assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the
reporting period, such as those regarding fair value. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
The financial statements for the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
The Plan's distribution of the Company's Common Stock to participants is at the
fair market value as of the distribution date. The difference between the fair
market value on the date of distribution and the carrying value of the
distributed shares is recorded as a net gain or loss on disposition of assets.
Purchase and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date.
The Plan's interest in registered investment companies and employer securities
are stated at fair value, measured by the quoted current market price. Units in
collective trusts are valued at the net asset value as reported by such trusts
at the
Page 13
end of each period. Funds invested in guaranteed investment contracts are stated
at contract value, measured as cost plus earned interest income. During 1996,
the Plan adopted American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of
Position 94-4, "Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare
Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans." Defined contribution
plans should report fully-benefit responsive investment contracts at contract
value, which may or may not be equal to fair value, and all other investment
contracts at fair value. All guaranteed investment contracts held by the Plan at
December 31, 1996, and 1995 were fully-benefit responsive, and therefore are
valued at contract value.
Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value.
Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.
NOTE 3 - MASTER TRUST
MCI Communications Corporation established the MCI Communications Corporation
Defined Contribution Master Trust (the "Master Trust"), for the purpose of
facilitating administration of the Plan. The Master Trust is intended to be a
tax-exempt trust within the meaning of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code. The administration of the Master Trust is the responsibility of the
trustee. All Plan investments are included in the Master Trust.
Effective November 20, 1996, the assets of the Darome Teleconferencing, Inc.
401(k) Plan were transferred into the MCI Communications Corporation Defined
Contribution Master Trust. The Darome Teleconferencing, Inc. 401(k) Plan had a
specific interest in the Master Trust of $658,541 representing approximately
.08% of the net assets of the Master Trust as of December 31, 1996.
The Master Trust consists of a pool of individual investments in which the
Exempt Plan, the Darome Teleconferencing, Inc. 401(k) Plan, and the Plan have
shared participation through Master Trust units. Net assets and net investment
gains and losses are allocated to each participating plan based on units of
participation held by the respective plans. Each unit represents a
proportionate, specific interest in the Master Trust. The Plan had a specific
interest in the Master Trust of $105,131,594 and $63,794,793 representing
approximately 13% and 11% of the net assets of the Master Trust as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
