MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating revenues increased by $357,742 (11.3%) in the quarter ended March 31,
1996 compared to 1995. Local service revenues increased by $54,829 (7.4%) for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 over the comparable 1995 period.
This increase resulted primarily from anincrease of 3.9% in the number of
access lines served by the Company from March 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996, and
from the introduction of CLASS services, such as Caller ID and Selective
Call-Forwarding, in May 1995. Network service revenues increased by
$332,002 (15.3%) for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to
1995, resulting mainly from increased customer use of the network to make
calls beyond the local calling area. In addition, in the 1996 period, the
Company recognized network service revenues of approximately
$145,200 resulting from the re-classification of access provided for certain
calls terminating in the Company's service area from January 1995 through
February 1996. This access was previously considered inter-LATA, subject to
pooling through the National Exchange Carriers Association (NECA). Based on
be intra-LATA, not subject to pooling, resulting in a higher retention of
access revenues by the Company.
Total operating expenses increased by $106,843 (4.8%) in the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 compared to 1995. Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased by $23,475 (3.4%) for the 1996 period compared to 1995, reflecting
increased investment in telephone plant in service. The increase in the
remainder of total operating expenses in 1996 over the comparable 1995 period
reflects additional expenses, including compensation and benefits, to meet
growing customer, regulatory, and environmental demands. Other income decreased
by $64,780 (55.4%) for the three-month period in 1996 from the comparable 1995
period due primarily to decreased sales of single-line and key system terminal
equipment.
As of March 31, 1996 current assets exceeded current liabilities by $3,944,151
reflecting an increase of $327,515 compared to December 31, 1995. Cash
provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996
was $727,608, an increase of $169,444 over the comparable period for 1995. The
Company anticipates that available cash, including that provided by current
operating activities, will be sufficient to cover capital expenditures and
dividends for the foreseeable future.
