                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                                         


1.    FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION:

      The consolidated financial statements at March 31, 1995 and 1994 and for
      the three and twelve month periods then ended are unaudited and reflect 
      all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which 
      are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of 
      the financial position and operating results for the interim periods.

2.    PENDING SALE OF CERTAIN TELEPHONE PROPERTIES:

      In November 1994, the Company signed definitive agreements to sell 
      certain telephone properties serving approximately 113,000 access lines 
      in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and 
      West Virginia to Citizens Utilities in exchange for approximately $290 
      million in cash, assumed debt and 3,600 access lines in Pennsylvania.  
      In addition, the Company signed a long-term agreement to provide 
      information processing services for the telephone operations of Citizens 
      Utilities.  The operations of the telephone properties to be disposed of 
      represented approximately 4 percent of the Company's revenues and 
      approximately 7 percent and 9 percent of the Company's net income for the
      three and twelve month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively.  This 
      sale will be completed on a state-by-state basis as necessary regulatory 
      approvals are obtained and other conditions and requirements are 
      satisfied.  Once completed, this transaction will result in the Company's
      telephone operating subsidiaries serving approximately 1.5 million access
      lines in 14 states.  Net proceeds from this transaction will be used to 
      reduce the Company's outstanding long-term debt.

To ALLTEL Stockholders:

ALLTEL Corporation recently announced its financial results for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1995.
         First quarter earnings were 41 cents per share, compared with 38 cents
per share a year ago, an 8 percent increase. Net income for the first quarter 
of 1995 was $78,623,000, compared with $71,886,000 in the first quarter of 
1994, an increase of 9 percent. Revenues and sales were $763,615,000, up 9 
percent from $702,424,000 in the corresponding quarter of 1994.
         Earnings per share for the 12 months ended March 31, 1995 were $1.46, 
compared with $1.43 a year ago, while net income was $278,490,000, compared 
with $270,747,000 in the year-ago period. Revenues and sales were 
$2,988,867,000, compared with $2,482,062,000 in 1994. 
         The rolling 12-month results reflect the 1994 fourth quarter after-tax
write-down of $32 million on certain assets of the Company's information 
services subsidiary. Excluding the write-down, net income from operations for 
the rolling 12 months increased 15 percent to $310,713,000, while earnings per 
share increased 14 percent to $1.63.
         Telephone, which produced solid increases again this quarter, 
continues to benefit from steady access line growth and focused cost control 
efforts.
         As expected, information services results reflect the effect of 
continued consolidation in the financial industry, as well as the uneven flow 
of new contracts. The booking of new software sales was particularly light 
during the first quarter, which affected margins.
         Cellular again generated strong growth in customers. While this has 
positive implications for future earnings, selling costs associated with 
aggressive marketing efforts had a softening effect on margins in the first 
quarter.

ALLTEL Mobile Reaches 500,000 Customers

ALLTEL Mobile recently achieved a milestone, becoming one of approximately 
15 cellular carriers in the United States to reach the half-millionth customer 
mark.
         Since ALLTEL Mobile began providing cellular service in 1985, its 
growth has been exceptional. In 1994 alone, ALLTEL Mobile added more than 
190,000 new customers - a number that exceeded the company's total number of 
customers in its first eight years of business.

1995 Stockholders Meeting Results

At ALLTEL's annual stockholders meeting held April 20 in Little Rock, Arkansas, 
Lawrence L. Gellerstedt III, Emon A. Mahony Jr. and Ronald Townsend were 
elected directors to the class whose term will expire in 1998. Stockholders 
also re-elected Arthur Andersen LLP independent auditors for the 1995 fiscal
year.
         In addition, George C. McConnaughey and Philip F. Searle retired from 
the Company's Board of Directors.
         Searle joined ALLTEL's board in 1961. McConnaughey had been a director
since 1966. In their three decades of service, the stockholders benefitted 
greatly from their business counsel.

Daniels Midland Company in Decatur, Illinois, and Josie Natori, president of 
The Natori Company of New York City, have been elected to ALLTEL's Board of

International of Hamburg, Germany, and Golden Peanut Company of Atlanta.
         Natori, 47, serves on the boards of a number of organizations, 
including Manhattanville College, the Educational Foundation of Fashion 
Industries, the Philippine American Foundation, the Dreyfus Third Century
