Item 5. Other Events
- --------------------
A class action complaint was filed in San Francisco Superior Court on November
17, 1995, alleging that Pacific Bell and three long distance carriers have
engaged in wrongful conduct by rounding up charges for telephone calls to the
next highest full minute of use, without disclosing the practice to customers.
Proposed class members in Ross, et al. v. Pacific Bell, et al., are California
residents who purchased long distance or local residential telephone service
from Pacific Bell, AT&T, MCI or "GTE-Sprint" or their agents over the last
four years, and were billed in rounded up one-minute increments. Plaintiffs
seek, among other relief, compensatory and punitive damages. Pacific Bell
believes that its tariffs permitted rounding up to the next highest minute for
the periods at issue, and that the likelihood of any material loss in this
case is remote.
