4. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company prospectively adopted SFAS No. 109
which requires the recognition of deferred tax benefits to the extent it is
more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. In accordance
with this new statement, the Company recognized a net deferred tax asset of
approximately $2.7 million as of January 1, 1993, with a corresponding
reduction of intangible assets.
At December 31, 1993, the Company had a gross deferred tax asset of $37.1
million, primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards not
recognized on the tax return, and a valuation reserve of $35.1 million
against that asset. At March 31, 1994, the net deferred tax asset was
reduced from approximately $2.2 million at January 1, 1994 to $2.1 million
due to the recognition of the utilization of predecessor company net
operating losses.

5. Effect of Corrections
The Company has amended its financial statements for fiscal 1993 and the
first quarter of 1994 to correct accounting errors. These errors
principally relate to incorrect service billings to California customers who
previously had purchased service contracts from Pactel Meridian Systems
(PTMS). The contracts were acquired as part of the PTMS acquisition at the
end of the third quarter of 1993. Additionally, unrelated errors in the
same periods were discovered involving inventories and accruals at the
Company's Northwest operating unit. The effects of the corrections are as
follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 31, 1994 versus March 31, 1993
For the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Company incurred a net loss of $142
thousand or $(0.04) per share as compared to net income of approximately $239
thousand or $0.06 per share for the first quarter of 1993. The $381 thousand
decrease in net income from 1993 is due to a decline in gross margin percentages
and a less favorable exchange rate in the earnings of the Company's Canadian
subsidiary.
Total net revenue for the first quarter of 1994 increased $5.9 million or 25.1%
as compared to the comparable 1993 period. The increase occurred primarily in
new equipment sales with a $5.0 million or 28.5% increase over the first quarter
1993. Net revenue from new equipment sales accounted for approximately 76.3%
and 74.3% of the total revenue for the first quarter of 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The service revenue increased $0.9 million or 15.2% over the 1993
first quarter with the increase primarily from the PTMS acquisition base in
California. Net revenues from services provided accounted for approximately
23.7% of total revenue in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to 25.7% of
total revenue in the first quarter of 1993. Revenue from service transactions
is expected to continue to comprise a significant portion of the Company's
overall net revenue in future periods, however, there are no assurances that the
foregoing will occur.
The gross margin percentage for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was 47.8% as
compared to 51.1% for the same period of 1993. The decline in the gross margin
percentage is due to the change in sales mix with a higher proportion of revenue
being generated from new equipment sales and sales of proprietary products,
which carry a lower margin versus service transactions. Although new equipment
sales carry lower margins, these sales present future service business to the
Company. Gross margin on service revenue has declined from 67.4% in the first
quarter of 1993 to 53.4% in the first quarter of 1994. The decrease in gross
margin on service revenue is primarily due to higher than expected service costs
and increased competition in the industry. The Company expects competition will
continue to affect the gross margin percentages in the future but not cause a
significant deterioration.
Another factor that may affect the Company's gross margin percentage in the more
distant future relates to the Company's agreement with NTK America. Under that
agreement, the Company is provided with the most favorable purchase prices on
NTK America products for the duration of the agreement. Once the agreement
expires (July 1996) or the Company is no longer purchasing the related product
lines (whichever occurs earlier), it is anticipated that the cost to the Company
to purchase these products will increase thereby lowering the gross margin. The
Company cannot estimate the impact of the foregoing on future gross margin at
this time.
-10-
Operating expenses increased $2.5 million (21.0%) in the first quarter of 1994
versus 1993, however, declined approximately 2% as a percent of sales from the
comparable period of 1993. The increase in operating expenses consists of
additional expenses resulting from the PTMS customer base acquisitions occurring
in the latter part of 1993 and an increase in selling expenses consistent with
the 25.1% increase in net revenue. Additionally, operating expenses for the
first quarter of 1994 include increased expenses incurred to support the new
products and services being offered by the Company, predominantly in the new
strategic business units of network services, videoconferencing products and
services, as well as a new direct equipment sales program. The Company is
continuing to monitor operating expenses and will seek to continue to control
costs in future periods. It is not expected that operating expenses will
increase significantly in the future without a corresponding significant
increase in revenue.
Other income, net of $364 thousand for the first quarter of 1994 increased $63
thousand as compared to the same period of 1993. Other income, net is
substantially comprised of royalty income primarily from NTK America for its
sale of equipment designed by the Company. The NTK royalty agreement is in
effect through July, 1996. Royalty income for the three months ended March 31,
1994 and 1993 is $413 thousand and $297 thousand, respectively. All other items
included in other income, net decreased $53 thousand in the aggregate in the
first quarter of 1994 compared to 1993.
In 1993, and continuing into the first quarter of 1994, TIE focused its efforts
on maintaining its existing customer base and implementation of training and
marketing programs related to its new strategic businesses. The purchase of
certain assets of PacTel Meridian Systems (PTMS) was consummated during the
month of September 1993. Initially, and continuing into the first quarter of
1994, the California region's performance was far below expectations which had a
negative impact upon the Company's operating income. In addition, the Company
expected that non-recurring expenses related to the absorption of that base
would negatively affect the Company's results but not to the extent which
occurred.
Inflation
Inflation has had a relatively minor impact on the Company as the rate of
inflation has declined in recent reporting periods. If operating expenses
increase, then the Company, to the extent permitted by competition, may attempt
to recover these increased costs by increasing sales prices to customers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1994 totalled $4.5 million, a decrease of
$3.6 million from December 31, 1993. For the first quarter of 1994, the Company
used approximately $2.4 million of cash for operating activities, including
inventory purchases, reduction of accounts payable and a $0.4 million legal
settlement. Additionally, the Company used approximately $0.3 million for net
capital expenditures, $0.2 million to expand its service network and $0.4
million for debt repayments.
Upon confirmation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization, HCR Partners made
available to the Company a $10.0 million revolving line of credit through
December 31, 1993. The Company agreed that in connection with the liquidation
of HCR Partners, the revolving line of credit agreement could be assigned to and
assumed by Marmon Holdings, Inc. No funds were borrowed under this line of
credit. Substantially all of the Company's assets are secured under this
agreement and the indebtedness under this line of credit has been guaranteed by
certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Effective December 31, 1993, the term of
the Credit Agreement was extended for an additional three year period ending
December 31, 1996 upon substantially the same terms and conditions, except that
the maximum credit available was reduced to $7,000,000.
-11-
The Company believes sufficient cash resources exist to support its short-term
needs through currently available cash, cash expected to be generated from
future operations, or from the line of credit previously mentioned. The Company
can borrow against this line of credit if needed, assuming no breach of any of
the covenants (which include restrictions on asset purchases and require
specified levels of working capital and net worth to be maintained) and that the
aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time under the credit agreement
does not exceed the "Borrowing Base" (which is based on inventory and
receivables) set forth in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance
with or had received a waiver of the covenants as of March 31, 1994 and
therefore was qualified to borrow the entire $7,000,000 available under the
line. The Company anticipates the need to draw down this line on a short-term
basis during the second quarter.
Although the Company's operating results have improved significantly since the
reorganization, the industry in which the Company is engaged is characterized by
intense competition and this factor, coupled with the effect of an uncertain
economic recovery, makes the future results of the Company extremely difficult
to predict.
The Company does not anticipate a need for long-term financing at this time. If
the need for long-term financing should arise, management believes it could be
available if the Company continues a trend of profitability. The Company is not
certain of the cost, terms and conditions upon which such financing might be
available.
At March 31, 1994 the Company did not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not provide post-retirement or post-employment benefits and,
therefore, there is no impact on the Company under SFAS 106, "Employers
Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and SFAS 112
"Employers Accounting for Post-Employment Benefits".
