Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of 1998's financial results focuses on the principal operating groups of BCE Inc. and includes a review of the operations and financial situation of each operating group. BCE Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as BCE. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of this annual report. Bell Canada, BCE Mobile Communications Inc. (BCE Mobile), Northern Telecom Limited (Nortel Networks) and Bell Canada International Inc. (BCI) publish a more detailed discussion and analysis of their results of operations and financial condition in their year-end documents. You may obtain copies of these documents from the Investor Relations department of BCE Inc.
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements with respect to either BCE Inc. or certain of its subsidiary or associated companies. These forward-looking statements, by their nature, necessarily involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. BCE Inc. considers the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based to be reasonable at the time they were prepared, but cautions the reader that these assumptions regarding future events, many of which are beyond the control of BCE Inc. and its subsidiary or associated companies, may ultimately prove to be incorrect. Factors which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations are discussed under "Risk Factors".
