                     INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Trustees and Plan Administrator
TIE/communications, Inc. Profit Sharing and Savings Plan:

     We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for plan benefits of the TIE/communications, Inc. Profit Sharing and
Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the three years ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes
in net assets available for plan benefits for the three years ended
December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31,
1993, party in interest transactions for the year ended December 31,
1993, and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1993,
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statements of net
assets available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for
plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of
each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

       TIE/COMMUNICATIONS, INC. PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 1993

1)  Description of Plan

    The following description of the TIE/communications, Inc. Profit
    Sharing and Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information.
    Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
    description of the Plan's provisions.

    (a) General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all
        non-union full-time employees of the Company who have one-half
        of a year of service as defined. The Plan allows electing
        employees to defer their contributions from current taxable
        income. Contributions made by the Company and electing employees
        will not be included in the employees' taxable income until the
        year of withdrawal from the Plan. The Plan also allows transfers
        into the Plan from other plans which satisfy the applicable
        requirements of Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Internal Revenue
        Code.

        The Plan has been amended to conform with the requirements of
        the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and
        subsequent amendments to the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan
        Trustee is the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
        and the Plan is administered by the TIE/communications, Inc.,
        Human Resources Department.

    (b) Contributions. Participating employees may elect to contribute
        to the Plan from 1% to 16% of their earnings on a before-tax
        basis. Effective June 1, 1992, the Company contributes an
        additional amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of the employees'
        contribution. Prior to June 1, 1992, the Company contributed an
        additional amount equal to 100% of the first 3% of the
        employees' contribution. Participating employees may also make
        after-tax contributions from 1% to 10%, however, an employees'
        contribution percentage cannot exceed 22%. After-tax
        contributions are not matched by the Company. At the discretion
        of the TIE/communications, Inc. Board of Directors, an
        additional amount may be contributed by TIE/communications, Inc.
        based on company profitability. No additional amounts were
        contributed during the 1993, 1992 or 1991 Plan years.

        Amounts which have been forfeited are allocated to reduce
        company contributions in accordance with the amended provisions
        of the Plan.

    (c) Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary
        contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the
        remainder of their accounts is based on years of service.
        Vesting of participants is as follows:

                Years of Service         Vesting Percentage

                ----------------         ------------------
                Less than 1 year               0%
                1                              25%
                2                              50%
                3                              75%
                4 years or more                100%

        A year of service is a Plan year (January 1 - December 31)
        during which an employee has completed at least 1,000 hours of
        service.

    (d) Loan Provision. Participants may have access to their savings
        and their earnings by borrowing from their Plan account. Loans
        from the Plan are subject to meeting the qualifications for
        "hardship" as defined by the Plan. Participants may borrow 50%
        of their vested account balance with the minimum amount being
        $1,000 and the maximum $50,000. Only one outstanding loan is
        permitted at a time. The interest rate on the loan is
        established by the Plan Administrator and remains constant
        throughout the term of the loan. Active employees repay their
        loans through payroll deductions. If a participant terminates
        employment with the Company, the loan immediately becomes due
        and payable.

    (e) Investments. Upon enrollment or re-enrollment, each participant
        shall direct that their contributions be invested in one or more
        of the investment programs set forth below; provided that no
        more than 25% of a participant's contribution may be invested in
        the TIE/communications, Inc. Commmon Stock Fund at any time.
        Such direction may be revised by participants on a quarterly
        basis. Company contributions are invested in the various funds
        in the same proportion as participant contributions.

        The investment programs of the Plan are as follows:

        Guaranteed Income Fund - an insurance company contract which
        guarantees a fixed interest rate over a specified period;

        Diversified Equity Fund - a portfolio of corporate equity
        securities or mutual funds investing in those types of
        securities;

        Money Market Fund - short-term liquid investments such as
        short-term money market instruments, certificates of deposit and
        Treasury Bills;

        TIE/communications Inc. Common Stock Fund - TIE/communications,
        Inc. Common Stock.

        Universal Life Insurance Option - Participants were given the
        option of purchasing a universal life insurance contract
        through the plan with their own contributions. Effective June 1,
        1992, this option was discontinued. Company contributions were
        not used to purchase life insurance contracts, and the cash

        surrender values of the contracts are not considered to be Plan
        assets as the insurance contracts were between the insurance
        company and the Plan participant.

        The number of participants in each fund was as follows:

                                                          December 31,
                                                      ------------------
                                                      1993          1992
                                                      ----          ----

        Guaranteed Income Fund                         507           508
        Diversified Equity Fund                        176           152
        Money Market Fund                               78            83
        TIE/communications, Inc. Common Stock Fund      58            54
                                           
        The total number of participants in the Plan was less than the
        sum of the number of participants shown above because many were
        participating in more than one fund.

    (f) Distributions. Distributions of vested balances are available
        upon termination subject to the approval of the Plan
        Administrator, retirement at or after age sixty-five, death or
        permanent and total disability. Distributions are made in a
        lump-sum to designated beneficiaries and joint survivors. The
        Plan allows former employee participants the option of leaving
        the full value of their contributions, earnings and vested
        Company contributions in the Plan. These amounts may be
        withdrawn upon demand.

2)  Summary of Accounting Policies

    (a) Basis of Accounting. The accompanying financial statements have
        been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. 

    (b) Reverse Stock Split. On June 19, 1991, TIE/communications, Inc.
        and 25 of its domestic subsidiaries emerged from Chapter 11
        protection of the United States Bankruptcy Code as the United
        States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware confirmed
        the Company's First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the
        "Plan"). Pursuant to a reverse stock split effected in
        connection with the Plan, the stockholders of the Company
        received one share of Common Stock (the "New Common Stock") in
        exchange for every 35 shares of Common Stock (the "Old Common
        Stock") they owned prior to confirmation of the Plan. The New
        Common Stock has a par value of $0.10 per share as compared to
        $0.05 per share for the Old Common Stock. All references in the
        accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares
        and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the reverse
        stock split and change in par value.

    (c) Investment Valuation. Investments in the guaranteed investment
        contract are reported at cost plus the guaranteed interest
        credited to the fund (contract value). Investments in the

        remaining funds are reported at the fair value of the underlying
        assets. The fair value of marketable securities is based upon
        quotations from national securities exchanges. Purchases and
        sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Net
        appreciation includes both realized and unrealized gains/losses.

    (d) Administration Expenses. Expenses incurred in 1993, 1992 and
        1991 for administering the Plan were paid by the Company.

3)  Investments

    The investments of the Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992 are
    summarized as follows:

    Income Fund is stated at contract value as reported to the Plan by
    CIGNA. The investment in the Money Market Fund is stated at cost which
    approximates fair value.

4)  Plan Termination

    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so the Company has
    the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any
    time and to terminate the Plan subject to provisions of ERISA. In
    the event of Plan termination or permanent discontinuation of
    contributions, participants will become 100 percent vested in their
    accounts.

5)  Income Tax Status

    The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the 
    Internal Revenue Service, dated August 7, 1986, indicating that it 
    is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and
    therefore the related trust is exempt from tax under Section 501(a)
    of the Code. The Plan has been restated to comply with the Tax
    Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation. Although the Plan has
    not yet applied for a new determination letter on the restated
    document, the Plan Administrator is confident that the Plan meets
    the requirements of Section 401(a). Upon application to the Internal

    Revenue Service, the Plan Administrator will make any amendments
    necessary for the Plan to obtain a favorable determination letter.

    The Plan Administrator is not aware of any activity or transactions
    that may adversely affect the qualified status of the Plan.

6)  Form 5500

    The accompanying financial statements differ from the Form 5500

NOTES:

A reportable transaction is defined by the Department of Labor as:

o  A single transaction in excess of 5% of the current value of Plan assets.

o  A series of transactions with or in conjunction with the same person,
   involving property other than securities, which amounts in the aggregate
   to more than 5% of the current value of the Plan assets.

o  A series of transactions with respect to securities of the same issue
   which amounts in the aggregate to more than 5% of the current value
   of the Plan assets.

o  Any transaction with or in conjunction with a person if a prior or subsequent
   single transaction has occurred with respect to securities with or in
   conjunction with the same person in an amount in excess of 5% of the current
   value of Plan assets.

A reportable transaction is identified by comparing the current value of the
transaction at the transaction date with the current value of the Plan assets at
the beginning of the Plan year.
