Item 5. Other Events

As disclosed in Corning's current report on Form 8-K filed November 18, 1999,
Corning Incorporated and Oak Industries Inc. have entered into an agreement and
plan of merger whereby Oak Industries will be merged with and into a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Corning in a stock-for-stock transaction that will be tax-
free to Oak shareholders.  The transaction is expected to be consummated in the
first quarter of 2000 and to be accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Corning expects to restate its financial statements after consummation of the
acquisition of Oak Industries to present combined results of the merged
companies.  Pro forma financial statements reflecting this restatement were
included in Corning's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 27, 1999.  This information is
being filed herewith.


Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information, and Exhibits

The following pro forma combined financial statements are being filed herewith:

(1)  Pro forma combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1999.
(2)  Pro forma combined Statements of Income for the nine months ended September
     30, 1999 and 1998.
(3)  Pro forma combined Statements of Income for the years ended December 31,
     1998, 1997, and 1996.

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION



The following describes the pro forma effect of the merger on (1) the unaudited
historical balance sheet as of September 30, 1999, (2) the unaudited historical
statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, and
(3) the statements of income for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 of Corning under the assumptions and adjustments described below.  The pro
forma adjustments reflect the application of pooling of interests accounting
discussed in "The Merger - Accounting Treatment."  The following unaudited pro
forma combined financial information and the accompanying notes should be read
in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of
Corning and Oak Industries, incorporated by reference in this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is provided for
informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the combined
financial position and results of operations would actually have been had the
merger in fact occurred at the dates indicated.  The following unaudited pro
forma combined statements of income and unaudited pro forma combined balance
sheet illustrate the estimated effects of the merger as if that transaction had
occurred at the beginning of each period presented for the statements of income
and at the end of the period for the balance sheet, and gives effect to the
merger as a pooling of interests for accounting purposes.  The unaudited pro
forma combined statements of income do not include the impact of nonrecurring
charges directly attributable to the transaction.

For financial accounting purposes, it is expected that the merger will be
accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting.  Accordingly,
it is expected that (1) the recorded historical cost basis of the assets and
liabilities of Corning and Oak Industries will be carried forward to the
combined company, (2) results of operations of the combined company will include
income of Corning and Oak Industries for the entire fiscal period in which the
combination occurs and (3) the historical results of operations of the separate
companies for fiscal years before the merger will be combined and reported as
the results of operations of the combined company.  Adjustments have been made
to reclassify the presentation of Oak Industries historical financial
information to be consistent with Corning's presentation.  However, no
adjustments have been made to the historical financial statements of Corning and
Oak Industries to conform the accounting policies of the combining companies as
the nature and amounts of such adjustments are not expected to be significant.
In addition, no adjustments have been made in the unaudited pro forma combined
financial information for transactions between Corning and Oak Industries as
such transactions were determined to be immaterial.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

(a) Corning and Oak Industries estimate that they will incur direct transaction
    costs of approximately $45 million (pre-tax) associated with the merger.
    These costs consist primarily of investment banking, legal and accounting
    fees, as well as certain payments to senior Oak executives described further
    in "Certain Compensation Arrangements".  The unaudited pro forma combined
    balance sheet reflects such expenses as if they had been paid as of the end
    of the third quarter of 1999.

(b) Adjustments reflect the issuance of 14.4 million shares of Corning common
    stock to effect the exchange of Oak Industries common stock at the exchange
    ratio of 0.83 of a share of Corning common stock for each share of Oak
    Industries common stock.  Adjustments also reflect the cancellation and
    extinguishment of all Oak Industries' common stock held in treasury at the
    effective time of the merger.

(c) Adjustments reflect a reclassification of Oak Industries' reported amounts
    of research and development expense, amortization of intangibles,
    restructuring and impairment charges, and royalty income to conform to
    Corning's presentation.

(d) The pro form combined per share amounts and weighted average common shares
    outstanding reflect the combined weighted average of Corning and Oak
    Industries common shares outstanding for all periods presented, after
    adjusting the number of Oak Industries common shares to reflect the exchange
    ratio of 0.83 of a share of Corning common stock for each share of Oak
    Industries common stock.  The diluted unaudited pro forma per share
    information for Corning is based on the weighted average number of
    outstanding shares of Corning common stock adjusted to include (1) the
    dilutive effect of Corning employee stock options and Corning monthly income
    preferred securities and Corning convertible preferred stock, in certain
    periods, and (2) the number of shares of Corning common stock that would be
    issued in the merger and (3) the dilutive effect of Oak Industries employee
    stock options, restricted stock and 4 7/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes.
