Report

Bridge Technology Group LLC announced today that it has initiated coverage of CTC Communications Corp. (Nasdaq: CPTL) with a BUY Recommendation. The full text of this report can be accessed at Bridge's web site, at www.BridgeNYC.com.

Commenting on the report, Jeffrey B. Davis, President of Bridge, stated, "We are very pleased to recommend CTC at this time, as we believe the company is well positioned for significant revenue growth and margin expansion as they deploy their state-of-the-art, packet-switched network. We believe CTC trades at a significant discount to its peer group and have a 12-month price target range of $25 to $28 per share."

Excerpts from the report follow:

CTC Communications is a rapidly growing integrated communications provider ("ICP"), offering a comprehensive package of services, including local, long distance, Internet access, frame relay and other data services on a single integrated bill. CTC currently serves small- and medium-sized businesses in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, operating 25 branch offices with approximately 175 direct sales people and 95 customer service representatives. We believe that CTC's sales and customer service program, honed over 15 years of telephony sales and service as Bell Atlantic's largest agent, is a key competitive advantage, and will continue to result in high access line growth and low customer churn. CTC is currently deploying a state-of-the-art, packet-switched data-centric network, which it calls its Integrated Communications Network ("ICN"). The first switches, advanced ATM+IP (Asynchronous Transfer Mode + Internet Protocol) switches produced and financed by Cisco Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO), are currently being deployed in CPTL markets, and we expect CPTL will begin transitioning customers to its network in Summer 1999. Utilization of its own network will enable CPTL to provide its customers with an enhanced package of telephony services, with expanded margins.

We believe CPTL is significantly undervalued compared to its peer group, and that the market is not recognizing the uniquely strong sales and customer service system that CPTL is utilizing to grow access lines and retain customers. We believe CPTL will be able to get its ICN deployed, and will be successful at transitioning a significant percentage of the high-margin data services to its network beginning in the second half of this year. We recommend purchase of CPTL common stock by investors tolerant of the risks associated with small-cap equity investments.
