EXHIBIT 99.5
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the merger
using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. These financial statements
include certain reclassifications to conform to the presentation to be used by
Bell Atlantic following the merger, and certain pro forma adjustments that
conform the companies' methods of accounting, as described in the accompanying
notes. These pro forma financial statements have been prepared from, and should
be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements
and notes of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX.
This pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is
not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that
would have occurred had the merger been consummated at the dates indicated, nor
is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position
of Bell Atlantic following the merger.
The pro forma balance sheets give effect to the merger by combining the
balance sheets of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX at June 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994. The pro forma statements of income give effect to the
merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented,
combining the results of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX for each year in the three year
period ended December 31, 1996; for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, June 30, 1997 and 1996, September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996; and
for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
Merger-Related Costs
As a result of the merger, it is expected that Bell Atlantic will incur direct
incremental merger-related costs of approximately $200 million (pretax) and
merger-related employee severance costs of approximately $200 million to $300
million (pretax). These costs will be recorded in results of operations in the
third quarter of 1997.
The direct incremental merger-related costs are comprised of the following
amounts:
(Dollars in Millions)
---------------------
Professional services $ 72.0
Compensation arrangements 57.0
Shareowner-related costs 19.0
Registration and other regulatory costs 25.0
Taxes and other 27.0
------
$200.0
Unpaid direct incremental merger-related costs have been reflected as an
increase to accounts payable and accrued liabilities with a deferred tax benefit
included in other assets on the pro forma balance sheets. On an after-tax
basis, these costs ($184.6 million) have been reflected as a reduction in
reinvested earnings.
The following pro forma financial statements do not reflect the merger-related
employee severance costs or any of the anticipated recurring expense savings.
Other estimated merger-related transition and integration costs, as disclosed in
the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and in the Management's Discussion and
Analysis contained in Bell Atlantic's 1996 Annual Report and in its Form 10-Q
for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1997, are now under review, and have
also not been considered. All merger-related estimates will be reflected in a
further amendment to this Form 8-K, to be filed as soon as practicable, but not
later than 75 days after the date of consummation of the merger.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 -- Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the unaudited historical
financial statements to conform to the presentation to be used by Bell Atlantic
following the merger.
Note 2 -- Exchange Ratio
Under the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of NYNEX Common Stock is
converted into 0.768 shares of Bell Atlantic Common Stock. This exchange ratio
was used in computing share and per share amounts in the accompanying unaudited
pro forma combined condensed financial statements.
Note 3 -- Pro Forma Adjustments
(a) A pro forma adjustment has been made to record conforming accounting
adjustments and to consolidate the accounts of cellular operations that are
jointly controlled by NYNEX and Bell Atlantic and which were accounted for
by both companies using the equity method beginning July 1, 1995.
(b) A pro forma adjustment has been made to reflect the adoption by NYNEX of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," effective January 1, 1993,
by electing the immediate recognition of the transition obligation, to
conform to the method used by Bell Atlantic. In its historical consolidated
financial statements, NYNEX has amortized the transition obligation for
retired employees and active employees over a 20-year period.
(c) Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the issuance of shares in
the exchange ratio stated in Note 2 above, the cancellation of NYNEX
treasury stock (other than treasury shares held by consolidated subsidiaries
of NYNEX in connection with certain financing transactions), and the change
in the par value of shares of Bell Atlantic Common Stock, in accordance with
the Merger Agreement.
