PART I

Item 1. Business.

The Company



C-TEC Corporation was organized in 1979. It is incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and has its
principal office in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. C-TEC is a
holding company with wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are
engaged in various aspects of the communications industry and
which are organized into five principal groups - Telephone,
Cable Television, Communications Services, Mobile Services, and
Long Distance. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, C-TEC
also has ownership interests of 80% in a cable television
subsidiary; 79.98% and 93.05% in two cellular telephone
subsidiaries; and 53.55% in an alternative access telephone
service provider.



Operations

Telephone



The Telephone Group consists of a Pennsylvania public utility
providing local telephone service to a 19 county, 5,067 square
mile service territory in Pennsylvania. As of December 31,
1993, the Telephone Group provided service to approximately
211,000 main access lines. Of these 167,000 are residential and
44,000 primarily relate to business. This Group's operating
territory is rural, containing only 38.8 access lines per square
mile as compared to a Pennsylvania average of 151.0 lines per
square mile. The Group's 79 central offices serve an average of
2,500 lines and 65 square miles.



In addition to providing local telephone service, this Group
provides network access and long distance services to
interexchange carriers. This Group also has other revenues
which are considered non-regulated and primarily relate to
telecommunications equipment sales and services and billing/
collection services for interexchange long distance carriers.



Today, this Group's greatest competition is for the sale of
telecommunications equipment. This revenue source is not a
significant portion of the Group's business.



Intralata toll bypass and alternative local access telephone
service providers are potential competitive threats, although no
significant competition has occurred to date. Intralata toll
and access revenue comprise a significant portion of the Group's
business.



Cable



The Cable Group is a cable television operator with cable
television systems located in the States of New York, New
Jersey, Michigan, Delaware and Pennsylvania. The Group owns and
operates cable television systems serving 224,000 customers and
manages cable television systems with an additional 34,000
customers, ranking it in the top 35 of U.S. multiple system
operators.

PART I



Item 1. Business, continued



Cable, continue



During 1993, the Cable Group restructured rates and channel
offerings to comply with the basic rate regulations and to
minimize the impact on revenue of the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "Act").



The future impact of the Act on the Cable Group and the cable
television industry is still unclear. The Cable Group's 1993
operating results were not significantly impacted by the Act.



The Group's performance is dependent to a large extent on its
ability to obtain and renew its franchise agreements from local
government authorities on acceptable terms. To date, all of the
Group's franchises have been renewed or extended, generally at
or prior to their stated expirations and on acceptable terms.
During 1993, the Cable Group completed negotiations with 64
communities resulting in franchise renewals on terms which are
acceptable to the Group. The Cable Group has 369 franchises, 63
of which are in the 3 year Federal Communications Commission
franchise renewal window at December 31, 1993. No one franchise
accounts for more than 10% of the Group's total revenue.



Competition for the Group's services traditionally has come from
a variety of providers including broadcast television, video
cassette recorders and home satellite dishes. Direct broadcast
satellite (DBS) which will allow a consumer to receive cable
programming for a fee once they purchase an 18 inch receiving
dish and a set-top terminal for approximately $700 may increase
competition in the future. Two DBS companies are scheduled to
launch their services in April 1994. In addition, recent
changes in federal regulation allow telephone companies to lease
their networks to video programmers under the video dial-tone
platform. Also, in 1993, the announced mergers of various
telephone and cable companies heightened the questions about
competition in the future. The current regulatory environment
appears to be fostering competition in cable television by
telephone companies, and in telephone by cable companies,
however these regulations are still evolving. The Cable and
Telephone Groups continue to monitor the progress of regulations
affecting the telecommunications industry and are developing a
business plan to meet future competition. It is impossible to
predict at this time the impact of these technological and
regulatory developments on the cable television industry in
general or on the Group in particular.



Mobile Services



The Mobile Services Group currently operates cellular telephone
systems in metropolitan service areas (MSAs) and rural areas
(RSAs) throughout eight counties in Northeastern and Central
Pennsylvania and 24 counties in Southeast Iowa ("IA"), serving a
total population of 1.5 million. The Group also operates paging
and message management services in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

PART I



Item 1. Business, continued



Mobile Services, continued



The Pennsylvania cellular territory consists of 2 MSA and 3 RSA
service areas. Vanguard Cellular is the primary competitor in
the 2 MSA markets and in 1 RSA market. There is no competition
in the other two RSA markets.



The Iowa cellular territory consists of 1 MSA and 4 RSA markets.
The Iowa market is fragmented in regards to competition.
Centel Cellular is the primary competitor in the MSA market,
U.S. Cellular in IA RSA 3, Contel in IA RSA 4, and CommNet 2000
in IA RSA 6. The IA RSA 11 territory is covered by two cellular
competitors - U.S. West and Centel.



The Group's service territory was increased with the activation
of three new cell sites in Pennsylvania in 1993. The Iowa
cellular properties benefited from four new cell sites in 1993.
The Group increased subscribers by approximately 53% in 1993.



In 1993, the Group introduced a call delivery Supersystem.
Through a key strategic relationship with a neighboring service
provider in Pennsylvania, the Group is now able to offer over
12,000 square miles of seamless cellular service in major
surrounding travel corridors. The Supersystem allows customers
to have calls automatically delivered to their roaming location
in the Supersystem. Callers need only dial the customary
seven-digit cellular phone number to contact the customer;
roaming access numbers and codes are no longer necessary. To be
competitive, the Group eliminated daily roaming charges and
reduced roaming rates throughout the Supersystem area.



Also instrumental in the subscriber growth has been the success
of the Group's venture in the retail arena. The first
company-operated retail location was opened in the fourth
quarter of 1992. During 1993, the group added four additional
kiosks in key population areas in the Pennsylvania market. The
kiosks allow the Group to reach the ever-growing consumer market
by being strategically positioned in major shopping malls,
providing added shopping convenience and a continued marketing
presence.



Communication Services



The Communications Services Group presently carries out business
in the Northeastern United States providing
telecommunications-related engineering and technical services.
These services are provided out of the headquarters in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and regional offices in
Pennsylvania, New York City and Virginia.



The services provided by the Group include telephony
engineering; system integration; operation and management of
telecommunications facilities for large corporate clients,
hospitals and universities; and installation of premises
distribution systems in large campus environments. In addition,
the Communications Services Group sells, installs and maintains
private branch exchanges (PBXs) in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The Group has also expanded its engineering services to include
video and data engineering, and successfully implemented several
major projects during 1993.

PART I



Item 1. Business, continued



Communication Services, continued



The Group encounters major competition from interexchange
carriers (AT&T), regional bell operating companies, independent
telephone companies, system integrators, interconnect companies
and small independent consultants. The competition from various
sources results in significant downward pressure on the prices
and margins for the services the Group provides. The Group's
cost effective operations and competitive pricing, flexibility
to meet customer requirements, and reputation in the
telecommunications industry for quality service have been its
primary strengths against the competition.



Long Distance



The Long Distance Group presently operates in two territories.
The Group began operations in 1990 by servicing the local
service area of the Telephone Group. In late 1992, the Long
Distance Group entered the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton territory
served by Bell of PA. The primary focus in this market is the
business segment.



In late 1993, the Long Distance Group established sales offices
in additional markets served by Bell of PA - Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Allentown.



The Group provides several types of services. The primary
service offered is a switched service in which a customer
chooses the Long Distance Group as their long distance provider
and dials the common "1+" to use the service. In addition to
providing customers with direct dial long distance service,
equal access also requires the Long Distance Group to offer
operator services - referred to as "0+". This service provides
the additional capabilities of third party billing, and calling
card service, among others. The Group also provides private
line service, 800 service and calling card service. The Long
Distance Group is basically a "reseller" of the above services
and employs the networks of several long distance providers on a
wholesale basis. The Group also provides telemarketing
services, primarily to cable companies.



Additionally, the Long Distance Group recognized the need
for an AT&T product to sell nationwide to large business
customers with multiple locations. In 1992, the Group procured
an AT&T Tariff 12 agreement and has also included this service
as an additional line of business.



The Group's recent expansion of services includes wholesale
activities in which a complete line of services is offered,
including marketing, billing and collection.

PART I



Item 1. Business, continued



Long Distance, continued



As a result of expansion, in 1993, the Group procured its own
long distance switch. The Northern Telecom DMS-250 switch will
enable the Long Distance Group to provide full service long
distance, including, but not limited to, switched services,
private line services, 800 services, operator services, calling
card services and enhanced platform services such as message
delivery and debit card at reduced rates to customers while
providing quality customer service. In conjunction with the
switch implementation, the Group has invested in an improved
billing system possessing the capabilities to provide real time
customer service inquiry, toll investigation, trouble ticketing,
immediate customer interface with the local exchange carriers
and direct billing on a "one bill" concept with the local
exchange telephone companies.



The interexchange carrier market is crowded and competitive.
Recent industry surveys indicate an estimated 350-400
interexchange carriers in operation. A key development was the
rapid revenue growth by regional and niche oriented companies.
Although the top three carriers (AT&T, MCI and Sprint) account
for almost 90% of all interexchange carrier revenue, that share
declines as other interexchange carrier revenue grows almost 13%
annually.



Intense competition in the mid-sized business market reflects
the rapid growth of business customer revenue. Estimates
indicate the business market has doubled the growth rate of the
residential market. It is the regional interexchange carriers
who have been the major beneficiaries of the battle for the
mid-sized business market. This group has shown triple revenue
growth for this market segment compared to the top three
carriers.



The residential market is still dominated by the top three
carriers. However, this domination should decline given
increased price pressure combined with more aggressive marketing
by the regional carriers.



Locally, the Long Distance Group has mirrored the overall growth
statistics of the regional carriers. Competition for the
mid-sized business market has come from other similarly situated
carriers rather than the top three. The primary deviation from
industry growth trends is seen in the residential market segment
in the Telephone Group's operating territories. Here the Long
Distance Group has continued to hold the predominant market
share. This dominance has not gone unnoticed however, as
marketing activities by the top three carriers have been
increasing in the territory. A combination of value priced
products, exceptional customer service and aggressive marketing
activities has been the Group's primary strength against
competition.



Financial information regarding the Registrant's industry
segments is set forth on page XX of this Form 10-K.



As of December 31, 1993, the Company had 1,282 full-time
employees including general office and administrative personnel.

PART I



Item 2. Properties.



C-TEC, the holding company, does not own any physical
properties. The Telephone Group owns and maintains in good
operating condition switching centers, cables and wires
connecting the telephone company and its customers with the
switching centers and other telephone instruments and equipment.
These properties enable the Telephone Group to provide
customers with prompt and reliable telephone service.
Substantially all of the properties of the Telephone Group are
subject to mortgage liens held by the United States of America
acting through the Rural Electrification Administration, Federal
Financing Bank, and the Rural Telephone Bank. C-TEC Cable
Systems of New York, Inc., ComVideo Systems, Inc., C-TEC Cable
Systems of Michigan, Inc. (the "Cable Television Group") own and
maintain in good operating condition head-end, distribution and
subscriber equipment. These properties enable the Cable
Television Group to provide customers with state-of-the-art,
reliable cable television service. Paging Plus, Inc. owns
paging and answering service assets. Cellular Plus of Iowa,
Inc., Iowa City Cellular Telephone Company, Inc., a 93.95% owned
subsidiary, Northeast Pennsylvania SMSA Limited Partnership, a
78.98% owned subsidiary, and C-TEC Cellular Centre County, Inc.
own and maintain cellular electronic equipment which provides
cellular telephone services to designated metropolitan and rural
service areas. Also, SRHC Inc. owns buildings in Wilkes-Barre
and Dallas, PA.





Item 3. Legal Proceedings.



In the normal course of business, there are various legal
proceedings outstanding. In the opinion of management, these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on financial
condition.



Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.



No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of the
Registrant during the fourth quarter of the Registrant's 1993
fiscal year.
