SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Shenandoah Telecommunications Company is a diversified
telecommunications holding company providing both regulated and
unregulated telecommunications services through its eight
wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The regulated local exchange telephone company is the largest
subsidiary, accounting for over 59.0% of revenue and 76.0% of net
income year-to-date in 1995 (excluding the gain on the sale of
equity security). This industry is in a period of transition from
a regulated monopoly to a competitive environment with changing
technology. As a result, Shenandoah Telecommunications has made
and plans to continue to make significant investments in new and
emerging technologies. The Company is currently constructing a
wireless network to provide Personal Communications Services to
regional communities.
Other significant services provided are cellular, cable television,
long distance, and facilities leased to interexchange carriers on
a Company owned fiber optic cable network. The Company also sells
and leases equipment, mainly related to services provided.
The Company also participates in emerging technologies by direct
investment in non-affiliated companies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's largest source of revenue continues to be for access
to the Company's local exchange network by interexchange carriers.
The volume for these access revenues is measured in minutes of use.
The minutes of use during the first nine months of 1995 increased
5.7% compared to the same period in 1994. Minutes of use during
the third quarter were 7.3% higher than the third quarter of 1994.
Changes in NECA settlement procedures, effective July 1, 1994,
offset the increases in minutes of use. The decrease in billing
and collection revenues is primarily attributed to a $33,192 refund
in June 1995 to an interexchange carrier for correcting an error to
message counts. Management expects these revenues to decline
further when one of the interexchange carriers discontinues using
our local exchange company for a portion of the billing process.
This change is tentatively scheduled to occur in the last quarter
of 1995.
The increase in Mobile Company revenues was due to growth in our
cellular operation. Cellular revenues increased 17.5% in the nine
months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. Cellular
revenues increased 17.4% over the third quarter of 1994. Year-to-date and for the
third quarter of 1995, net additions ofcustomers were approximately the same as net
additions for the sameperiod in 1994.
SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The decrease in the ShenTel Service revenues category for both the
third quarter and year-to-date is due primarily to a decrease in
equipment sales compared to 1994. These sales are down $145,323 or
26.2% compared to the first nine months of 1994. Another factor
was the completion of a consulting contract that provided $12,929
in the first half of 1994. The contract expired in the fourth
quarter of 1994. These two items were partially offset by the
rapid growth of a new service started in late 1994 providing local
Internet access to regional communities.
On September 1, 1994, the cable television company restructured its
rates by increasing its rates for basic and premium service and
decreasing or eliminating its charges for other services such as
rental of converters. As a result of the rate changes and
subscriber growth, total revenue for cable television services for
the final four months of 1994 increased 17.3% over the previous
four months' total, and 26.0% over the final four months of 1993.
The number of Cable subscribers has increased 6.9% from June 30,
1994. The increase in the third quarter of 1995 was .1% compared
to a 1.1% increase in the third quarter of 1994. The Company
estimates that our cable rates are within the limits prescribed by
the FCC for cable systems of our size. None of the local governments within the
Company's cable television serving area have indicated that they will exercise any
authority they may have to regulate rates. The Company has recently applied for a
franchise to extend the cable television network into an area already served
by another cable provider and compete directly with the incumbent
provider. Work is progressing to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals
from local and federal governments before construction can begin on the
competitive network.
The Company also leases capacity on fiber optic facilities in
Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland to interexchange carriers.
The revenue for this activity appears as facilities leases and as
network revenues on the income statement. This service experienced a revenue
increase of 41.3% year-to-date and 38.2% during the third quarter compared with the
same periods in 1994. The increase is due to new circuits being added.
For the first nine months and the third quarter of 1995, operating
expenses increased 3.8% and 1.4% respectively compared to the same
periods in 1994.
SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The first operating expense category is cost of goods sold. This
category reflects decreases in both the quarter-to-quarter as well
as year-to-date comparisons due to the previously discussed decline
in ShenTel Service equipment sales.
The increases in the network and other category are due primarily
to increases in facilities and network administration costs for the
Internet local access operation, and engineering and network
support costs for our subsidiary that will provide Personal
Communications service. The Internet costs have increased this
category approximately 6.5% year-to-date and for the third quarter
compared to the same periods in 1994. The costs for the ]
subsidiary have increased this category 1.5% year-to-date and 4.5%
for the third quarter compared to the same periods in 1994.
The non-operating income less expenses category consists mainly of
the income or loss from investments made by the Company. The
Company, along with other telecommunications providers, founded an
organization that built a fiber optic network in the Richmond,
Virginia metropolitan area. The fiber network provided competitive
access to businesses in the area. As a result of a strategic
change, it was agreed to sell this business to Metropolitan Fiber
Systems. The Company recognized a gain on the sale in January of
1995. The amount of the gain was $872,125. In addition the
Company recognized losses of $103,461 and $52,270 respectively
during the first six months and second quarter of 1994 as our
portion of the operations of this organization. During the third
quarter of 1995 the Company sold a portion of the MFS stock it
received in exchange for this fiber network. The transaction
resulted in a pre-tax gain of $268,722.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company continues to generate a strong cash flow from
operations that adequately meets the Company's need for cash.
Other available sources of liquidity are two unsecured lines of
credit with local banks totaling $4.5 million. No advances
have been made from these lines of credit in 1995. The Company has
a loan agreement with the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) in the amount
of $9,240,000. The Company received an additional advance during
the third quarter of 1995 in the amount of $998,000. As of October
31, 1995, the Company has received advances in the amount of
$4,384,000. Expenditure of these loan funds is limited to approved
capital projects for the regulated local exchange carrier.
The Company has reached an agreement to construct and manage part
of a network that will provide Personal Communications Services (PCS).
A separate wholly-owned subsidiary has been formed to operate this
business. The service will be provided under a license held by an
unaffiliated company. Construction has begun on the new network
that will support this service. Construction of the new network
will require significant investment in new plant and equipment over
the next several years.
Due to the competition coming from new sources, management is
unable to predict the potential impact of the new operation on the
Company's cash flow.
The Company has contractual commitments to meet certain network
build out requirements in connection with the construction of the
new network discussed above. The Company's Board of Directors has
approved a construction budget of approximately $14,000,000 for
1995, including $6,000,000 for the network. The remaining amounts
are primarily for telephone central office equipment and fiber
optic cable facilities. The Company expects to finance the 1995
expenditures through internally generated cash flows as well as
additional advances from the RTB note. For subsequent years, management
expects that the Company will require additional financing from external
sources to finance the completion of the network.
