Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On July 22, 2005, Mr. Steven G. Mihaylo resigned his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Inter-Tel, Incorporated (“Inter-Tel” or the “Company”). Mr. Mihaylo continues to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of its Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board selected Mr. Alex Cappello to succeed Mr. Mihaylo as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Cappello currently serves as a member of the Board and was elected to the Board by the Company’s stockholders at Inter-Tel’s annual meeting of stockholders held April 26, 2005.
     In connection with the designation of Mr. Cappello as Chairman of the Board, the Company amended its director compensation policy. A copy of the Company’s complete revised director compensation schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. In keeping with the revised compensation schedule, in addition to compensation for his other service on the Board and committees, Mr. Cappello will receive a quarterly stipend of $10,500 beginning at the October 2005 board meeting for his service as Chairman of the Board.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     The following information is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
     On July 25, 2005, Inter-Tel, Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 and comparing such results with the results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
     Acquisition of Ireland subsidiaries (“Lake acquisition”) and write-off of In-Process Research and Development costs. The 2005 six months ended June 30, 2005 operating income included a write-off of in process research and development (“IPRD”) costs of $2.6 million, which reduced net income by $2.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share after tax. This write-off reflected the IPRD costs associated with the Company’s Lake acquisition in March 2005. The IPRD write-off is not deductible for income tax purposes. Also provided are operating results of our acquired Lake operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. These non-GAAP condensed consolidated statements of operations are provided to enhance overall understanding of our current financial performance and how we view our operating results. The presentation of this non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies.
     A copy of the press release is hereby furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
