        Notes to Pro forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)


 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
      _____________________

      The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance
      sheet as of December 31, 1994 and income statement for the year then
      ended reflect the operations of PacifiCorp (the "Company") excluding
      Alascom, Inc.  Pacific Telecom, Inc. ("Pacific Telecom") signed a
      definitive agreement on September 30, 1994 to sell the stock of Alascom
      to AT&T for $365 million (including the $75 million transition payment
      received in July 1994).  The pro forma condensed consolidated balance
      sheet assumes the sale occurred on December 31, 1994.  The pro forma
      condensed consolidated income statement assumes the sale occurred on
      January 1, 1994.  The pro forma results of operations are not
      necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would actually
      have resulted if the sale had occurred on the dates assumed, or of
      expected results of operations in the future.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and income
      statement, and related notes should be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company's
      Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

2.    PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
      _____________________

      The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
      December 31, 1994 consists of the historical balance sheet of the
      Company (after the elimination of affiliated transactions and interest),
      less the historical balance sheet of Alascom, plus certain pro forma
      adjustments described below:

      a.    Affiliated balances between Pacific Telecom and its subsidiaries
            and Alascom eliminated in the consolidation process were restored
            on the pro forma balance sheet.  The affiliated balances between
            Pacific Telecom and Alascom were added to Pacific Telecom's
            investment in Alascom.  The affiliated balances between the other
            subsidiaries and Alascom were reclassified to the proper
            nonaffiliated line item.

      b.    Cash proceeds of $260 million to be received at closing and the
            $30 million deposit in "Other Deferred Credits" received in
            October 1994, were offset by Pacific Telecom's investment in
            Alascom, income tax liability from the gain on the sale and net
            gain on sale.  The actual gain to be realized on the sale will be
            lower than indicated on the pro forma condensed consolidated
            balance sheet as Pacific Telecom's basis in Alascom will increase
            as Alascom's earnings are recognized and affiliated account
            balances change between December 31, 1994 and closing.

      c.    Cash proceeds received from the sale of Alascom have been applied
            to short-term debt.  Pacific Telecom plans to redeploy the
            proceeds of 
<PAGE>2
            the sale of Alascom to purchase certain US WEST assets in Oregon,
            Washington and Colorado.  In February 1995, Pacific Telecom funded
            the $200 million Colorado acquisition with short-term borrowings
            and anticipates repaying these borrowings with proceeds from the
            sale of Alascom.

      The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated income statement
      consists of the historical income statement of the Company (after the
      elimination of affiliated transactions and interest), less the
      historical income statement of Alascom, plus certain pro forma
      adjustments described below:

      a.    Affiliated balances between Pacific Telecom and its subsidiaries
            and Alascom eliminated in the consolidation process were restored
            on the pro forma income statement.

      b.    Interest expense was allocated to Alascom by imposing a debt
            structure equivalent to that of Pacific Telecom at December 31,
            1994.

      c.    Income taxes were adjusted to reverse favorable tax treatment
            Pacific Telecom recognized in 1994 relating to transition payments
