Re: Shared Technologies Cellular, Inc.
Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing
Part IV - Other Information, Item (3)
For the three-month period ended March 31, 1999, Shared Technologies Cellular,
Inc. ("STC" or the "Company") had revenues of $5,621,000, compared to
$4,927,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998. The net loss for
1999 was $4,491,000, compared to a net loss of $833,000 for 1998. This
significant change in the results of operations from the corresponding period
in the prior year was due to several factors.
In the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company terminated its relationship with and
filed a lawsuit against SmarTalk TeleServices, Inc. ("SmarTalk"). SmarTalk was
the Company's main distributor of its end-user debit program being marketed
under the Company's CellEase brand name. Prior to the termination of the
SmarTalk relationship, the Company was anticipating significant revenue growth.
As a result, the Company made significant investments with carriers for
additional lines and invested in the expansion of its debit services corporate
support. In January 1999, the Company signed a letter of intent with MCI
WorldCom for the retail distribution of the Company's prepaid cellular
service. As a result, the Company made the decision to maintain many of its
existing lines with carriers, and maintain most of its debit services corporate
support, in anticipation of the launch of the MCI WorldCom program in the
second quarter of 1999. The Company also incurred additional corporate overhead
following the March 1998 acquisition of Shared Technologies Fairchild Inc.
("STFI") by Intermedia Communication, Inc. STFI, the former parent of the
Company, had provided certain support and management services to the Company
under a management agreement.
