        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                           (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income was $7.7 and $16.7 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 
1994, respectively, representing a decrease of  54% or $9.0. The decrease  
is primarily the result of lower operating revenues due to a change in the 
timing of directory publication dates, partially offset by lower operating 
expenses, primarily cost of sales and services.

  OPERATING REVENUES

Operating revenues were $138.0 and $161.3 for the three months ended March 
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, reflecting a decrease of 14% or $23.3.

Local network services revenues were $61.1 and $54.2 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, reflecting an increase of 13% 
or $6.9.  This  increase is  primarily  a  result of  the  Public Utility  
Commission (PUC) of the  State of Hawaii  adopting accrual accounting for  
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB) for ratemaking purposes. 
The PUC approved the Company's plan to reflect an additional $10.7 of OPEB 
expenses in its rates, retroactive to January 1, 1995, resulting in $2.7 of 
increased revenues in  the first three  months of 1995.  Revenues in 1995  
also increased  due to  continued customer  growth as  reflected by  a 4%  
increase in access lines, which generated $1.1 in additional revenues, and 
a $1.6 increase in sales of enhanced  features such as custom calling and  
voice messaging services.

Network access services revenues were $32.7 and $32.0 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, reflecting an increase of 2% 
or $0.7. This  increase is  primarily the  result of  an 11%  increase in  
minutes of use,  which generated  $2.0 in  additional revenues, partially  
offset by a $1.2 decline in revenues from unfavorable pooling settlements.

Long distance services revenues were $24.7 and $28.4 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, reflecting a decrease of 13% 
or $3.7. This  decrease is  primarily due to  a $3.3  decline in revenues  
caused by lower domestic and international toll volumes.

Equipment sales and services revenues were $15.7  and $18.0 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, reflecting a decrease  
of 13%  or $2.3.  This decrease  is primarily  due to  a $3.0  decline in  
revenues from service contracts, which were not renewed in 1995.

Other operating revenues were  $3.9 and $28.7 for  the three months ended  
March 31, 1995  and 1994, respectively,  reflecting a decrease  of 87% or  
$24.8. This decrease  is primarily  due to  a $24.2  decline in directory  
revenues resulting from the delay of certain directory publications until 
the second quarter of 1995.

                           (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

  OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses  were $116.6  and $125.2  for  the three  months ended  
March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, reflecting a decrease of 7% or $8.6. 
The decrease  is primarily  due to  a $5.1  decrease in  contractor costs  
and software upgrades associated with projects completed in 1994 and a $3.6 
decrease in  labor  and  benefits  costs  associated  with  the Company's  
re-engineering  plan  initiated  in   1994.  Partially  offsetting  these   
decreases is a $2.3 increase in depreciation and amortization caused by an 
increase in plant balances, resulting, in  part, from the installation of  
interisland fiber optics in 1994.

  OTHER DEDUCTIONS

Interest expense was $10.2 and $8.5 for  the three months ended March 31,  
1995 and 1994, respectively,  reflecting an increase of  20% or $1.7. The  
increase is  due  primarily  to higher  average  short-term  debt levels,  
accompanied by  higher short-term  borrowing rates,  for the  first three  
months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.

Income tax  expense  was  $4.0  and  $10.1  for  the  three months  ended  
March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing  a decrease of 60% or  
$6.1. This decrease  is primarily due  to the decrease  in pretax income,  
partially offset  by  the lower  reversal  of tax  rate  differentials on  
deferred tax balances.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Management believes that the  Company has adequate  internal and external  
resources available to meet operating requirements for construction of new 
plant, modernization of facilities and  payment of dividends. The Company  
generally funds its construction program from operations although external 
financing is  available. Short-term  borrowings  can be  obtained through  
commercial paper borrowings or borrowings from GTE. In addition, at March  
31, 1995, a $3,500  line of credit  was available to  the Company through  
shared lines of credit with GTE and other affiliates to support short-term 
financing needs.

The Company's primary source of funds during the first three months of 1995 
was cash from operations of $48.8 compared to $19.4 for the same period in 
1994. The increase is primarily due to the timing of payments of accounts  
payable, partially offset by lower results from operations.

The Company's capital expenditures during the  first three months of 1995  
were $32.1  compared to  $37.4  for the  same  period in  1994.  The 1995  
expenditures reflect the Company's  continued growth in  access lines and  
modernization of current facilities and  introduction of new products and  
services including  Video  Connect (an  interactive  and  broadcast video  
product utilized  in the  broadcast,  educational and  business markets),  
broadband digital services  and switched digital  services. The Company's  
construction  costs  in  1995  are expected to increase slightly from

                           (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

$174.3 of  capital  expenditures  incurred  during  1994,  reflecting the  
Company's expanding network and the  replacement of outdated technologies  
with digital switches and fiber-optic networks.

Cash used in financing activities was $19.9 for the first three months of  
1995, compared to cash provided for the same period in 1994 of $19.0. The 
Company decreased its outstanding short-term borrowings by $19.8 during the 
first quarter of 1995, compared to an increase in short-term borrowings of 
$22.6 during the same period in 1994. In addition, dividends of $5.0 were  
paid in the first quarter of 1994.

OTHER MATTERS

As previously  reported,  results  for 1993  included  a  one-time pretax  
restructuring charge of $78.3, which reduced net income by $48.2, primarily 
for incremental costs related to implementation of the Company's three-year 
re-engineering plan. The re-engineering plan will redesign and streamline  
processes to improve customer-responsiveness  and product quality, reduce  
the time necessary  to introduce  new products  and services  and further  
reduce costs. The major components of the estimated cost to implement the 
re-engineering plan and activity since inception are as follows (dollars in 
millions):

                 December 31,   1994    December 31,    1995     March 31,
Component           1993      Activity      1994      Activity     1995

   benefits      $     35.4   $  (0.7)   $     34.7   $  (0.2)  $    34.5
Systems                31.3     (13.3)         18.0      (2.0)       16.0
Consolidation
  of facilities         9.6      (1.5)          8.1      (0.7)        7.4
Other                   2.0      (2.0)           --        --          --
  Total          $     78.3   $ (17.5)   $     60.8   $  (2.9)  $    57.9

The level  of  re-engineering  activities  and  related  expenditures are  
expected to accelerate during  the remainder of 1995.  There have been no  
significant changes made to the overall re-engineering plan as originally 
reported. As of  March 31,  1995, $23.1  of the  restructuring reserve is  
classified as  a current  liability. Management  believes the  reserve is  
adequate to cover future expenditures.

In March 1995, the Federal  Communications Commission (FCC) increased the  
local-exchange carrier  (LEC)  productivity factors  associated  with its  
interstate price cap plan to provide three different options, on an interim 
basis, regarding the determination and use of productivity factors. These 
changes will be  reflected in the  LECs' annual  tariff filing, effective  
August 1, 1995. The  FCC is  expected to  continue to  consider permanent  
changes to  its price  cap plan  in a  future rulemaking  proceeding. GTE  
believes the impact of the interim rules will be minimized in the near-term 
because GTE has reduced its access fees in previous years to amounts below 
the FCC's maximum price.

                           (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

On May 11, 1993,  the Public Utilities  Commission (PUC) of  the State of  
Hawaii initiated  a  communications infrastructure  proceeding  which was  
intended to investigate such issues as: what  markets should be opened to 
competition; who should be allowed to compete  in those markets; and what 
rules, if any, should apply. Following the  initiation of the docket, the 
PUC allowed parties  to seek intervenor  or participant  status. To date,  
over 35 parties representing  a wide range of  interest have been granted  
either intervenor or participant status. The majority of the effort in the 
proceeding has been  directed toward  developing a  list of  issues to be  
addressed. Two reports  were submitted  to the  PUC on  June 9,  1994 and  
January 11, 1995 identifying the issues  to be addressed and recommending  
that the  proceeding  be  divided  into  phases.  Parties  filed  opening  
testimony on these  matters on March  24, 1995 and  rebuttal testimony on  
April 28, 1995.  Evidential hearings are to commence on May 24, 1995.

During the first quarter of 1995, the PUC authorized AT&T Corp. and Sprint 
Corporation to provide interisland toll service on a 10XXX basis, effective 
March 1,  1995. AT&T  Corp. and  Sprint Corporation  will be  required to  
report on the impact of its service on the interisland toll business. The  
PUC reserves the right to modify or rescind the authority depending on the 
impact to  the  Company.  On  February 14,  1995,  the  PUC  approved the  
Company's request to lower its toll rates and make changes to its various  
calling plans to keep  them competitive with AT&T  Corp.'s rates. The PUC  
granted MCI  Communications  Corporation (MCI)  a  Certificate  of Public  
Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) on February  22, 1995; however, MCI must  
seek approval to provide new  add-on services, including interisland toll  
service on a 10XXX basis.

In April 1995, GTE  filed a motion  with the U.S. District  Court for the  
District of Columbia to remove the 1984 Consent Decree, which restricts the 
Company from providing interLATA services.  GTE believes that the Consent  
Decree is no longer required since GTE has since divested its interests in 
the entities whose purchase gave rise to the Consent Decree.

In May  1995, the  FCC  approved GTE's  applications  to construct  a new  
fiber-optic and coaxial-cable  video network  in four  markets, including  
Honolulu, Hawaii. GTE expects to submit tariffs that set the rates for use 
of its video network to the FCC  for approval and to commence the initial  
deployment of the network in late 1995 and early 1996.
