shareholders of record as of September 5, 2000, with distribution of the shares
on October 3, 2000.  The following historical financial data prepared under
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and on a Pro Forma basis are
presented as previously reported and as adjusted to give effect to the
three-for-one stock split.

Filed herewith is the following information:

(1)  As reported (pre split) and adjusted for the effect of three-for-one stock
     split (post split) earnings per share and weighted average shares
     outstanding for the quarters ended June 30, 2000, March 31, 2000, December
     31, 1999, September 30, 1999, June 30, 1999 and March 31, 1999.
(2)  As reported (pre split) and adjusted for the effect of three-for-one stock
     split (post split) Pro Forma Net Income* per share and weighted average

* Pro Forma Net Income excludes amortization of purchased intangibles and

  costs and other nonrecurring items.  Corning's Pro Forma Net Income is not a
  measure that is in accordance with GAAP and may not be consistent with
  measures used by other companies.  It should be considered as supplementary

*   Pro Forma Net Income excludes amortization of purchased intangibles and
    goodwill, purchased in-process research and development, one-time
    acquisition costs and other nonrecurring items.

(1) Earnings per share (EPS) in each quarter is computed using the weighted-
    average number of shares outstanding during that quarter while EPS for
    year-to-date is computed using the weighted-average number of shares
    outstanding during the year-to-date period.  As a result, the sum of the
    quarters EPS does not equal the year-to-date EPS.
