                 AIRTOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                        PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared based on the historical financial statements of AirTouch
Communications, Inc. (the "Company"), adjusted to give effect to 1) the intended
October 1995 purchase of an additional 25% of CCI for approximately $720
million, as part of a multi-step acquisition of CCI (see Note F to the 1994
Consolidated Financial Statements) and 2) the Company's borrowing against a
revolving credit facility to finance the purchase. These unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of
the results of future operations.

The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income data for the year
ended December 31, 1994 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 have been
prepared as if the transactions described above occurred at the beginning of
such periods. Accordingly, the historical consolidated statements of income were
affected as follows: interest expense was increased by $36.9 million and $23.7
million for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the six months ended June 30,
1995, respectively; and equity in net income of unconsolidated wireless systems
was decreased by $12.3 million and $3.3 million for the year ended December 31,
1994 and the six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.

The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1994 and
June 30, 1995 have been presented as if the transactions had been consummated on
those respective dates. The Company's investment in CCI is accounted for as an
equity method investment.
