Item 1. Business.
Roseville Telephone Company (the "Company"), incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 1914, is engaged in the business of furnishing communications services, mainly local and toll telephone service and network access services, in a territory covering approximately 83 square miles in Placer and Sacramento Counties, California. Toll service to points outside the Company's own area is furnished through connection at Roseville with facilities of Pacific Bell, AT&T, and other interexchange carriers. The City of Roseville, which is centrally located in the Company's service area, is 18 miles northeast of Sacramento.
During recent years, including the year ended December 31, 1994, the area served by the Company has experienced both land subdividing activity for home building purposes and significant commercial and industrial development. The Company continues to be engaged in the expansion of its facilities and operations to meet current and anticipated service demand increases and to maintain modern and efficient service.
Currently, no other telephone company operates in the area served by the Company. However, the Company's future operations may be impacted by several proceedings pending before the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California (the "P.U.C.") which are considering the manner in which certain local exchange services presently provided solely by the Company should be opened to competition. See "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings" and "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Company, with a 23.5% equity interest, is one of four limited partners of Sacramento-Valley Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), a California limited partnership formed for the construction and operation of a cellular mobile radiotelephone system, which now operates in the following Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas ("SMSA"):
Sacramento Reno Stockton Yuba City - Marysville Modesto Redding - Chico
In addition, the Partnership also operates in the Tehama, Sierra and Storey (Carson City) Rural Statistical Areas ("RSA").
AirTouch Cellular is the sole general partner of the Partnership and responsible for the construction, operation, maintenance and marketing of the cellular mobile radiotelephone system.
In each SMSA and RSA, the Federal Communications Commission (the "F.C.C.") has granted one license to provide cellular services to a wireline carrier and one license to a non-wireline carrier. The Partnership is the wireline carrier licensee for each SMSA and RSA in which it operates and competes with the non- wireline licensee in each of those areas.
The table that follows reflects the percentage of operating revenues of the Company contributed by various services, excluding income from the Partnership.
Network Access and Local Telephone Long Distance Year Service Service Miscellaneous ---- ------- ------- -------------
1994 35.6% 49.5% 14.9% 1993 38.1% 46.8% 15.1% 1992 35.9% 49.1% 15.0% 1991 33.0% 53.3% 13.7% 1990 34.5% 51.7% 13.8%
As indicated above, revenues from local, network access and long distance services constituted approximately 85% of the Company's total operating revenues in 1994. Miscellaneous operating revenues include primarily revenues from billing and collection services and directory advertising services, in addition to revenues from nonregulated activities. Nonregulated revenues are derived from the sale, lease and maintenance of telecommunications equipment, and the provision of alarm monitoring and paging services.
Revenues from telephone service are affected by rates authorized by various regulatory agencies. The Company's intrastate service rates are subject to regulation by the P.U.C. As discussed in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", the Company completed agreements with Pacific Bell concerning new compensation arrangements, which were effective commencing in 1992, that affected extended area service settlements and a significant portion of network access and long distance revenues. With respect to intrastate toll calls, interexchange carriers are assessed access charges based on tariffs filed by Pacific Bell. With respect to interstate services, the Company has filed its own tariff with the F.C.C. for all elements of access services except carrier common line charges, for which the Company concurs with tariffs filed by the National Exchange Carrier Association. Extensive cost separation studies are utilized to determine both the final settlements and access charges.
Substantially all of the Company's revenues were from communications and related services. As discussed in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", approximately 34%, 36% and 34% of the Company's consolidated operating revenues in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, were derived from access charges and charges for other services to, and transition contract payments from Pacific Bell pursuant to certain agreements. Approximately 10% of the Company's consolidated operating revenues in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were derived from the provision of services to AT&T. The revenues from services provided to AT&T were received primarily from access charges, but also included revenues from the provision of operator, billing and collection, and other interexchange services. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated operating revenues.
In addition to its regulatory authority with respect to rates, the P.U.C. also has the power, among other things, to establish the terms and conditions of service, to regulate securities issues, to prescribe uniform systems of accounts to be kept by public utilities and to regulate the mortgaging or disposition of public utility properties.
The Company uses public streets and highways in the conduct of its public utility telephone business under a non-exclusive perpetual franchise granted by Section 7901 of the California Public Utilities Code.
At December 31, 1994, the Company employed 501 persons, none of whom is represented by any union.
Item 2.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company owns central office buildings and related equipment in Roseville, Citrus Heights, Granite Bay, and other locations in Placer County, and completed construction of a 135,000 square foot operations facility in November 1993. The Company's 68,000 square foot principal business office and administrative headquarters is located in Roseville. Other land is held for future expansion. The Company has appropriate easements, rights of way and other arrangements for the accommodation of its pole lines and underground conduits and for its aerial and underground cables and wires.
In addition to land and structures, the Company's property consists of equipment required in providing telephone service. This includes central office equipment, customer premises equipment and connections, radio antennas, pole lines, aerial and underground cable and wire facilities, vehicles, furniture and fixtures and other equipment. The Company also owns certain other communications equipment held as inventory for sale or lease.
In addition to plant and equipment that the Company wholly owns, the Company utilizes poles and conduit systems wholly owned by, or jointly owned with, other utilities and leases space on facilities wholly or jointly owned by the Company to other utilities. These arrangements are in accordance with written agreements customary in the industry.
The Partnership owns certain equipment used in the provision of cellular mobile radiotelephone services.
Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Except for the proceedings described below, the Company is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, to which it is a party or to which any of its property is subject.
As appears in Item 1, above, the Company is subject to regulation by the F.C.C. and P.U.C. In the past, there have been various proceedings before these agencies to which the Company has been a party. Reference is made to Item 1 for further information regarding the nature of the jurisdiction of the F.C.C. and P.U.C. over the business and operations of the Company. The regulatory proceedings discussed below relate to matters which may effect the Company prospectively and are not expected to affect the Company's 1994 financial statements.
The P.U.C. has instituted an investigation (I.87-11-033) into the manner in which it regulates local exchange carriers, including the Company. It has announced that in the course of this investigation it will consider the manner in which certain services presently provided solely by the Company within its local exchange area should be opened to competition.
On July 24, 1991, the Commission adopted Decision No. 91-07-044 in this proceeding which ordered a phasedown of settlements pool payments after January 1, 1993 unless the Company reaches an agreement on a transition plan with Pacific Bell to end their toll, access, and private line settlements procedures before that date. Effective on a retroactive basis to January 1, 1992, the Company executed new agreements in February 1994 with Pacific Bell, which replaced the previous settlements agreements.
On September 15, 1994, the P.U.C. adopted Decision 94-09-065, its opinion in this matter with respect to competition within each Local Access and Transport Area ("LATA") and rate design issues. The order revised basic exchange, toll, access, private line, and service connection rates and authorized competition for toll and toll-like services within the Company's LATA effective January 1, 1995. Based on calculations by the P.U.C., the rates adopted in the order will result in an annual revenue reduction to the Company of approximately $5.3 million beginning in 1995. In addition, the order as amended requires the Company to submit an application for a general rate case and proposal for a new regulatory framework by May 15, 1995.
On April 7, 1993, the P.U.C. opened an investigation and rulemaking proceeding (R. 93-04-003) to establish rules necessary to provide nondiscriminatory access by competing service providers to the network capabilities of local exchange carriers necessary to ensure fair competition in accordance with the mandate of Public Utilities Code Section 2282.5. In connection with this proceeding, the P.U.C. issued a further order on August 5, 1993 proposing additional rules for implementation of the open access principles proposed in its open access proceeding. These two proceedings may broaden the scope of competition in the provision of intrastate services. The Company anticipates a decision in this matter during 1995.
In November 1993, the P.U.C. issued a report to the Governor of the State of California entitled "Enhancing California's Competitive Strength: A Strategy For Telecommunications Infrastructure" in which it proposes to open all markets to competition and aggressively streamline regulation to accelerate the pace of innovation in the telecommunications marketplace. In connection with this report, on December 21, 1994, the P.U.C. adopted Decision 94-12-053, an initial procedural plan to facilitate opening local exchange telecommunications markets to competition by January 1, 1997. In this decision, the Commission expressed its intent to implement local exchange competition, intraLATA presubscription, open access to local exchange carrier networks based on an unbundled basis, and reform of the new regulatory framework for local exchange carriers. In conjunction with these proceedings, the P.U.C. adopted Rulemaking 95-01-020 and Investigation 95-01-021 on January 24, 1995, an order instituting investigation and rulemaking to consider the goals of and definition of universal telephone service in a changing telecommunications environment, including examination of subsidy support mechanisms and issues of "carrier of last resort" and "franchise" obligations. After reviewing comments to be submitted on March 10, 1995, the Commission anticipates issuing further orders in this proceeding during 1995 and 1996.
There are a number of regulatory proceedings occurring at the federal level that may have a material impact on the Company. These regulatory proceedings include, but are not limited to, consideration of changes to the interstate universal service fund and the regulation of local exchange carriers. In addition, the F.C.C. periodically establishes the authorized rate of return for interstate access services. Since January 1, 1991, the F.C.C. has established an 11.25% rate of return for interstate access services.
In addition, in September 1992, the F.C.C. issued an order granting to competitors expanded interconnection rights to the facilities of local exchange carriers with annual revenues from regulated operations in excess of $100 million. These rules were overturned by the United States Court of Appeals. In 1994, the F.C.C. issued new rules to comply with the decision of the Court of Appeals. While not yet applicable to the Company, these rules will permit competitors to terminate facilities on terms and conditions equivalent to those which would apply if they were permitted to terminate their facilities in telephone company central offices.
In addition, the F.C.C. initiated a separate notice of proposed rulemaking establishing a two-phase proceeding to modify interstate access rate structures to further competition in the provision of interstate services. An interim rate structure has been implemented pursuant to this notice of proposed rulemaking.
The United States Telephone Association ("USTA") filed an action in the United States District Court in Washington, D.C. on behalf of its members, including the Company, alleging that current federal law prohibiting local telephone companies from owning or operating cable television systems in their telephone service territories is an unconstitutional infringement of their First Amendment rights. The court entered an order enjoining enforcement of the prohibition. The defendants, the United States Department of Justice and F.C.C., have declared their intention to appeal the court's decision as they have appealed similar decisions in favor of other telephone companies. The decision, if affirmed, will permit the Company to provide cable television in its telephone service area.
In addition, the F.C.C. is currently proceeding with a rulemaking to consider how telephone companies may offer "video dialtone" services in their telephone service areas, including how common costs and plant are to be allocated between telephone and video service for accounting and ratemaking purposes. Video dialtone involves the provision of common carrier video transport for other video programmers. The outcome of the F.C.C. proceeding will determine, in part, whether the Company may profitably offer video dialtone service in its telephone service area. The proceeding will also consider how telephone companies provide cable television in their telephone service areas.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 1994. PART II
Item 5.
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
The Common Stock of the Company trades principally in local transactions without the benefit of an established public trading market. As a result of the minimal number of stock transactions, the Company's information with respect to price per share is derived from reports provided by the Company's Retirement Supplement Plan and disclosure, in limited circumstances, of third party transactions. Retirement Supplement Plan transactions in the Company's Common Stock were effected at approximately $22 per share in January 1993, approximately $23 per share from the balance of the first quarter through the beginning of the fourth quarter of 1993, and approximately $24 per share thereafter.
As of February 28, 1995, the approximate number of holders of the Company's Common Stock was 9,600.
The Company pays quarterly cash dividends on its Common Stock. The Company paid cash dividends of $.15 per share for each quarter during 1993 and 1994.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
1994 versus 1993
Operating Revenues:
As of January 1, 1992, the Company exited revenue sharing arrangements with Pacific Bell applicable to certain network access, long distance and local service revenues. Also effective on that date, the Company began billing Pacific Bell various charges in connection with the provision of services by the Company pursuant to certain tentative agreements with Pacific Bell that were completed in February 1994 (the "Pacific Bell Agreements"). The implementation of the Pacific Bell Agreements had no significant effect on revenues previously recorded in 1993 and 1992. Of the Company's total revenues in 1994, 1993 and 1992, 34%, 36% and 34%, respectively, were recorded under the Pacific Bell Agreements. Included in such amounts were transition revenues of $16.5 million, $16.5 million and $15 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The transition revenues will be reduced to approximately $8.2 million in 1995. Beginning in 1997 such revenues will be reduced by approximately $2 million per year until ultimately eliminated.
In September 1994, the P.U.C. issued an Implementation Rate Design Decision (the "IRD Decision") which authorized toll competition within each Local Access Transport Area ("LATA") commencing January 1, 1995. The IRD Decision ordered decreases in the Company's access rates beginning on January 1, 1995. Such decreases and the reduction in transition revenues discussed above will be partially offset by ordered increases in basic exchange rates and revenues from other sources. Based on calculations by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California ("P.U.C."), these ordered changes are expected to result in a $5.3 million net reduction in the Company's 1995 revenues and negatively impacting future results of operations.
Local service revenues decreased slightly to $36.7 million in 1994 due to positive settlement adjustments recorded in 1993 for extended area service revenues, which did not reoccur in 1994. This decrease was largely offset by the effects of 5% growth in access lines in 1994.
Network access and long distance revenues result from charges assessed to carriers and end users for use of the local exchange network and from transition revenues described above. Network access revenues increased $5.7 million or 15% over 1993, primarily due to growth in minutes of use volumes and higher interstate settlements from the National Exchange Carrier Association. Long distance revenues, comprised largely of transition revenues from Pacific Bell, remained at essentially the same level in 1994 and 1993.
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses in 1994 increased approximately $9.1 million or 15% compared to 1993. Depreciation expense increased approximately $5.7 million in 1994, of which $3.7 million was attributable to depreciation rate changes authorized by the P.U.C. and the balance was related to larger average plant levels. The remaining increase in operating expenses was due to normal inflationary factors combined with a larger work force, and increased costs associated with serving a greater number of access lines. Other Income (Expense):
Other income, which consists primarily of income attributable to the Company's interest in Sacramento-Valley Limited Partnership, interest income from cash equivalents and short-term investments and allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC"), increased $75,000 over 1993. Increased interest income due to larger invested balances and rising market interest rates was offset by reductions in AFUDC due to the completed construction of an operations facility in the fourth quarter of 1993. Other expense consists primarily of interest expense on long-term debt, which increased $852,000 over 1993 due to increased average borrowings.
Income Taxes:
Income taxes in 1994 decreased approximately $1.5 million compared to 1993 due to the decrease in income subject to tax. The effective federal and state income tax rate was 40.5% compared to 40.6% in 1993.
1993 versus 1992
Operating Revenues:
Local service revenues increased approximately $3.8 million, or 11% over 1992. Of the total increase, approximately $2.3 million was related to an increase in extended area service revenues recognized under the Pacific Bell Agreements discussed above. In addition, local service revenues were positively affected by a 5% growth in access lines and increased revenues associated with custom calling and enhanced network services.
In 1993, network access revenues increased slightly to $37.5 million, reflecting growth in minutes of use volumes and higher interstate settlements from the National Exchange Carrier Association. Positive settlement adjustments which were recorded in 1992 and did not reoccur in 1993 reduced the effect of this increase and also caused a decrease in long distance revenues. Long distance revenues, comprised largely of transition revenues from Pacific Bell, decreased $727,000 to $7.8 million.
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses in 1993 increased approximately $5.1 million or 9% compared to 1992. The increase in operating expenses was due primarily to a combination of 1) software purchases and improvements in the Company's data systems to implement movement from a mainframe platform to a client/server platform and to implement a wide area network, 2) higher costs associated with the Company's numerous regulatory proceedings, 3) higher pension costs resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions, 4) normal inflationary factors, and 5) increased costs associated with serving a larger number of access lines. Depreciation expense increased as a result of increased plant levels.
Other Income (Expense):
Other income increased $2.4 million over 1992, due primarily to improved results of operations of the partnership and a significant increase in AFUDC due to the construction of the Company's Industrial Avenue facility. Other expense consists primarily of interest expense arising from the $25 million long-term debt facility obtained in March 1992 and the $15 million facility obtained in November 1993. Total interest expense was approximately $2.2 million compared to $2.1 million in 1992 resulting from a combination of slightly increased average borrowings offset by lower interest rates.
Income Taxes:
Income taxes in 1993 increased approximately $932,000 due to the increase in income subject to tax and an increase in the effective tax rate resulting from the implementation of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 which retroactively increased the corporate federal income tax rate to 35% beginning January 1, 1993. The effective federal and state income tax rate was 40.6% compared to 39.9% in 1992.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company's operations continue to provide positive cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $36.7 million, $36.6 million and $31.4 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The Company realized proceeds of $9.6 million from the issuance of 400,000 shares of common stock to its Retirement Supplement Plan in September 1994. These proceeds will be used for future capital expenditures, participation in wireless technologies, and general corporate purposes. During 1994, the Company utilized cash flows from operations and existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund capital expenditures in the amount of $22.8 million and cash dividends of $8.2 million.
The Company's most significant use of funds in 1995 is expected to be for budgeted capital expenditures of approximately $24.2 million for central office equipment, cable and wire facilities, and general purpose assets. The Company periodically contributes capital to the Sacramento-Valley Limited Partnership to maintain its existing partnership interest. As of December 31, 1994, known commitments for capital funding to the partnership were $2.4 million. It is anticipated that the Company's capital requirements in 1995 will be met from cash flows from operations and existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Inflation
While the Company is not immune from increased costs brought on by inflation and regulatory requirements, the impact of such items on the Company's operations and financial condition depends partly on results of future rate cases and the extent to which increased rates can be translated into improved earnings.
Regulatory Matters
The Company's financial condition and results of operations continues to be affected by recent and future proceedings by the P.U.C. The P.U.C. authorized competition for intraLATA toll service effective January 1, 1995, accompanied with rate changes affecting the Company's toll, access, private line and basic exchange revenue. Pending before the P.U.C. are proceedings which are considering:
- The opening of all markets to competition by January 1, 1997 and aggressively streamlining regulation to accelerate the pace of innovation in the California telecommunications marketplace
- Rules that will provide non-discriminatory access by competing service providers to the network capabilities of local exchange carriers
- Rules that will allow non-discriminatory open access to the local exchange company's central office and authorize broader competition for intrastate switched transport services
The P.U.C. has ordered the Company to file an application for a general rate proceeding and proposal for a new regulatory framework by May 15, 1995.
The Company believes it continues to meet the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" ("SFAS No. 71"), which requires the Company to give effect in its financial statements to certain actions of regulators. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on that basis. For example, amounts charged to operations for depreciation expense reflect estimated lives and methods prescribed by regulators rather than those consisting of useful and economic lives that might otherwise apply to nonregulated enterprises. As a result of increasing competition and rapid changes in the telecommunications industry, the Company periodically monitors whether it continues to meet the criteria which require the use of SFAS No. 71. In the future, should the Company determine it no longer meets the SFAS No. 71 criteria, a material, extraordinary, noncash charge would result.

ROSEVILLE TELEPHONE COMPANY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business and basis of accounting
Roseville Telephone Company (the "Company") is engaged in the business of furnishing communications and related services principally within its service area in Northern California. The Company maintains its accounts in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed for telephone companies by the Federal Communications Commission (the "F.C.C.").
The Company believes it continues to meet the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" ("SFAS No. 71"), which requires the Company to give effect in its financial statements to certain actions of regulators. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on that basis. For example, amounts charged to operations for depreciation expense reflect estimated lives and methods prescribed by regulators rather than those consisting of useful and economic lives that might otherwise apply to nonregulated enterprises. As a result of increasing competition and rapid changes in the telecommunications industry, the Company periodically monitors whether it continues to meet the criteria which require the use of SFAS No. 71. In the future, should the Company determine it no longer meets the SFAS No. 71 criteria, a material, extraordinary, noncash charge would result.
The Company engages in nonregulated activities through its RCC Communications division ("RCC"). Products and services provided by RCC include the sale, lease and maintenance of telecommunications equipment, and the provision of alarm monitoring and paging services.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company's 23.5% interest in the Sacramento- Valley Limited Partnership, which operates in the cellular telephone industry principally within California, is accounted for using the equity method. The Company's portion of undistributed earnings of this partnership included in the Company's consolidated retained earnings at December 31, 1994 amounted to approximately $4,067,000.
Cash equivalents and short-term investments
The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality debt instruments and certain other investments. The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date of the instrument to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments consist primarily of commercial paper with maturities greater than 90 days; however, none of the Company's investments have maturities greater than one year. The Company has no investments in equity securities.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair values of financial instruments
As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term debt. Management believes that the carrying values of cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 1994 and 1993, which are at amortized cost, and long-term debt at December 31, 1993, approximated their fair values at such dates. The aggregate fair value of the Company's long- term debt (including current maturities) was approximately $38,400,000 at December 31, 1994. Fair values for cash equivalents and short-term investments were determined by quoted market prices and for long-term debt by a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar instruments.
Inventories
Telephone construction inventories consist of materials and supplies, which are stated at average cost. Equipment and other nonregulated inventory held for resale are stated at the lower of average cost or market.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Retirements and other reductions of regulated telephone plant and equipment with a cost of approximately $8,093,000, $9,886,000, and $947,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, were charged against accumulated depreciation with no gain or loss recognized. When property applicable to nonregulated operations is sold or retired, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the associated gain or loss is recognized. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operating expense when incurred.
Revenues
The Company is subject to regulation by the F.C.C. and the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California (the "P.U.C."). Pending and future regulatory actions may have a significant impact on the Company's future operations and financial condition.
As of January 1, 1992, the Company exited revenue sharing arrangements with Pacific Bell applicable to certain network access, long distance and local service revenues. Also effective on that date, the Company began billing Pacific Bell various charges in connection with the provision of services by the Company pursuant to certain tentative agreements with Pacific Bell that were completed in February 1994 (the "Pacific Bell Agreements"). The implementation of the Pacific Bell Agreements had no significant effect on revenues previously recorded in 1993 and 1992. Of the Company's total revenues in 1994, 1993 and 1992, 34%, 36% and 34%, respectively, were recorded under the Pacific Bell Agreements. Included in such amounts were transition revenues of $16,500,000, $16,500,000 and $15,000,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The transition revenues will be reduced to approximately $8,200,000 in 1995. Beginning in 1997 such revenues will be reduced by approximately $2,000,000 per year until ultimately eliminated.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In September 1994, the P.U.C. issued an Implementation Rate Design Decision (the "IRD Decision") which authorized toll competition within each Local Access Transport Area commencing January 1, 1995. The IRD Decision ordered decreases in the Company's access rates beginning on January 1, 1995. Such decreases and the reduction in transition revenues discussed above will be partially offset by ordered increases in basic exchange rates and revenues from other sources. Based on calculations by the P.U.C., these ordered changes are expected to result in a $5.3 million net reduction in the Company's 1995 revenues, and negatively impact future results of operations.
Depreciation
Depreciation of regulated telephone plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis using rates approved by the P.U.C. Average annual composite depreciation rates were 7.99%, 6.56% and 6.75% in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Depreciation rate increases authorized by the P.U.C. in 1994 resulted in additional depreciation expense of approximately $3,700,000 for 1994.
The cost of property, plant and equipment used in nonregulated activities is depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 5 years, on a straight-line basis.
Allowance for funds used during construction
The F.C.C. and the P.U.C. allow the Company to capitalize an allowance for funds used during construction, which includes both an interest and return on equity component. Such amounts are reflected as a cost of constructing certain plant assets and as an element of "Other income."
Income taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company prospectively adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") and, accordingly, the Company's prior consolidated financial statements were not restated. SFAS No. 109 requires companies to record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements and tax returns. Additionally, SFAS No. 109 requires adjustments of deferred tax assets and liabilities for changes in tax laws or rates (such as the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993), and requires recognition of a regulatory asset or liability when it is probable that deferred taxes would be reflected in future rates of regulated companies. The adoption of SFAS No. 109 and the implementation of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Prior to January 1, 1993, deferred income taxes were provided in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 ("APB No. 11")for the tax effect of all timing differences between financial statement income and taxable income, except for items that were not allowable by the P.U.C. as deferred tax expense for rate-making purposes. 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Per share amounts
Net income per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding each year after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends. Cash dividends per share is based on the actual dividends per share, as declared by the Company's board of directors, after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends.
Statements of cash flows information
During 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company made payments for interest and income taxes as follows (in thousands):
1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ----
Interest (net of amounts capitalized) $3,606 $1,747 $ 1,497 Income taxes $12,589 $13,855 $12,891
2. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"("SFAS No. 115"). Under SFAS No. 115, management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. At December 31, 1994, all securities are designated as held-to-maturity as management believes it has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion, as well as any interest on the securities, is included in interest income.
The adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no significant effect on the Company's prior period financial statements. Accordingly, under provisions of SFAS No. 115, prior period financial statements were not restated. Following is a summary of the Company's investments by major security type at amortized cost which approximates fair value (in thousands):
December 31, ------------ Commercial paper $ 23,612 Other unsecured corporate notes 4,360 Repurchase agreements 1,657 ----------- $ 29,629 ===========
Amounts included in cash and cash equivalents $ 15,940 Amounts included in short-term investments 13,689 ----------- $ $29,629 ===========
3. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 consisted of the following:
$25,000,000 under an unsecured, long-term credit arrangement with a bank, with interest payable quarterly at rates increasing from 8.16% to 8.46% during the period of the loan. Principal payments are due in equal quarterly installments of $893,000, commencing in June 1995, and ending in April 2002.
$15,000,000 under an unsecured, long-term credit arrangement with a bank, with interest payable quarterly at a fixed rate of 6.22%. Principal payments are due in equal quarterly installments of $536,000, commencing in March 1997, and ending in December 2003.
At December 31, 1994, the aggregate maturity requirements on all long-term debt are $2,679,000, $3,572,000, $5,716,000, $5,716,000 and $5,716,000 in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
The aforementioned credit arrangements contain various positive and negative covenants with respect to cash flow coverage, tangible net worth and leverage ratio. These provisions could restrict the payment of dividends in certain circumstances; however, the entire amount of retained earnings at December 31, 1994 was unrestricted.
4. INCOME TAXES
The income tax provisions consist of the following components (in thousands):
1994 1993 1992 ----- ---- ---- Current expense: Federal $ 10,718 $ 9,633 $ 8,730 State 3,160 3,226 3,027 ------- ------- ------- 13,878 12,859 11,757 Deferred expense (benefit): Federal (80) 2,266 2,335 State 68 259 360 ------ ------ ------- (12) 2,525 2,695 ------- -------- ------- $ 13,866 $ 15,384 $ 14,452 ========= ========= =========
The income tax provisions differ from those computed by using the statutory federal rate (35% in 1994 and 1993, and 34% in 1992) for the following reasons (in thousands):
1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Computed at statutory rates $ 11,977 $ 13,266 $ 12,331
Increase (decrease): State taxes, net of federal benefit 2,098 2,265 2,235
Other, net (209) (147) (114) ------- ------- ------- Income tax provision $ 13,866 $ 15,384 $ 14,452 ========= ========= ========= Effective federal and state rate 40.5% 40.6% 39.9% ===== ===== =====
4. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The significant components of the Company's deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows at December 31, 1994 and 1993 (in thousands):
Deferred Income Taxes ---------------------- 1994 1993 ---- ---- Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities ------ ----------- ------ ----------- Property, plant and equipment - primarily due to depreciation differences $ - $ 21,869 $ - $21,614
Differences in the timing of recognition of revenues 2,850 2,871 - Cellular partnership - 3,088 - 2,708

Less current portion 1,106 - 1,129 - --------- --------- -------- -------- 4,670 25,680 4,251 25,207 ========= ========= ========= =========
Net long-term deferred income tax liability $ 21,010 $ 20,956 ========= =========
As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, there was no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
During 1992, in accordance with APB No. 11, the deferred income tax provision resulted from differences in the timing of recognizing certain revenues and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. For 1992, the principal components of the deferred income tax provision were $1,759,000 for tax depreciation in excess of book depreciation and $736,000 for differences between the book and taxable income attributable to the Company's investment in a cellular partnership.
5. PENSION, OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee's average compensation during the five highest consecutive years of the last ten years of credited service. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an actuarially determined amount consistent with applicable federal income tax regulations. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributed to service to date. Plan assets are primarily invested in collective trust accounts, government and government agency obligations, publicly traded stocks and bonds and mortgage-related securities.
Net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 includes the following components (in thousands):
1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Service cost-benefits earned during the period $2,376 $2,149 $1,544
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 3,493 3,131 2,727
Actual loss (return) on plan assets 600 (2,313) (1,592)
Net amortization and deferral (2,311) 910 (80) ------ ------ ------ Net pension cost $4,158 $3,877 $2,599 ====== ====== ======
The following table sets forth the defined benefit plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 (in thousands): 1994 1993 ---- ---- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Vested benefit obligation $26,085 $24,463 Nonvested benefit obligation 6,315 5,900 ------- ------- Accumulated benefit obligation $32,400 $30,363 ======= =======
Plan assets at fair value $32,549 $31,369 Less projected benefit obligation (49,345) (47,383) ------- ------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (16,796) (16,014) Unrecognized net loss 12,002 12,164 Unrecognized transition obligation 2,979 3,247 ------- ------
Accrued pension cost $(1,815) $(603) ======= =======
5. PENSION, OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
The discount rates used in determining the projected benefit obligation at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were 7.5% and 7%, respectively. The assumed rate of increase in future compensation levels used to measure the projected benefit obligation was 6% at December 31, 1994 and 1993. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in determining net pension cost was 8% in 1994 and 1993 and 8.5% in 1992. Changes in the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets increased pension cost $1,054,000 in 1993. The vested and nonvested benefit obligations for 1993 have been restated for the change in the manner used to determine such amounts in 1994.
The Company also maintains a retirement supplement plan providing both a retirement and savings feature for substantially all employees. The retirement feature allows for tax deferred contributions by employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to certain limitations, one-half of all employee contributions made to the retirement supplement plan are matched by the Company. Such matching contributions, as defined in the plan, amounted to approximately $1,043,000, $903,000 and $731,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. At December 31, 1994, 9% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock were held by the retirement supplement plan.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("SFAS No. 106") and No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" ("SFAS No. 112"). SFAS No. 106 requires accrual of the expected ultimate cost of providing benefits during the years that the employee renders the necessary service. Prior to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 106, the cost of postretirement benefits was generally recognized as paid. Presently, the Company provides certain postretirement benefits other than pensions to substantially all employees, including life insurance benefits and a stated reimbursement for Medicare supplemental insurance. SFAS No. 112 establishes certain requirements for accounting for benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. The adoption of SFAS No. 106 and No. 112 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating leases
The Company leases certain facilities and equipment used in its operations and reflects lease payments as rental expense for the periods to which they relate. Total rental expense amounted to $387,000, $1,137,000 and $936,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
At December 31, 1994, the aggregate minimum rental commitments under noncancellable operating lease obligations are not significant. Other commitments
The Company's budgeted capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 1995 approximate $24.2 million. Binding commitments for such planned expenditures at December 31, 1994 were approximately $8 million.
The Company periodically contributes capital to the Sacramento-Valley Limited Partnership to maintain its existing partnership interest. As of December 31, 1994, known commitments for capital funding to the partnership were $2.4 million.
Litigation

7. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
Substantially all of the Company's revenues were from communications and related services provided in the Northern California area. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and management believes that an adequate allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided.
As discussed more fully in Note 1 - Revenues, approximately 34%, 36% and 34% of the Company's consolidated operating revenues in 1994, 1993, and 1992 respectively, were derived from access charges and other charges to, and transition contract payments from Pacific Bell pursuant to the Pacific Bell Agreements. Approximately 10% of the Company's consolidated operating revenues in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were derived from the provision of services to AT&T. The revenues from services provided to AT&T were received primarily from access charges, but also included revenues from the provision of operator, billing and collection, and other interexchange services. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated operating revenues.
