            PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements have been
prepared based on the historical financial statements of the Company, adjusted
to give effect to the sale of substantially all the assets of AirTouch Teletrac,
the Company's vehicle location business, on January 17, 1996. These unaudited
pro forma condensed financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
results of future operations.

The pro forma condensed statements of income data for the year ended December
31, 1994 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 have been prepared as
if the transaction described above occurred at the beginning of such periods.
Operating results for AirTouch Teletrac have been removed from consolidated
results in these pro forma condensed statements of income, affecting the
historical consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31,
1994 and the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as follows: operating revenues
were decreased by $15.3 million and $10.2 million, respectively; operating
income was increased by $25.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively; and net
income was increased by $19.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively.

The pro forma condensed balance sheets as of December 31, 1994 and September 30,
1995 have been presented as if the transaction had been consummated on those
respective dates. The after-tax effect of the sale of AirTouch Teletrac assets
on the consolidated balance sheets was a decrease in net assets of $22.4 million
and $11.9 million as of December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1995, respectively.
