ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
October 7, 2002, CTC Communications Group Inc. (the "Registrant") and its main
operating subsidiary, CTC Communications Corporation, announced a voluntary
Chapter 11 filing (the "Bankruptcy Case") in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Registrant continues
to operate its business as a "debtor in possession" in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
While the Bankruptcy Case is proceeding, Registrant is required to
provide monthly operating reports (the "Monthly Reports") to the Office of the
United States Trustee and file such reports with the Bankruptcy Court. The
Monthly Reports provide an ongoing record of assets and liabilities of
Registrant's estate, along with a record of cash receipts and disbursements.
Registrant's Monthly Reports may be obtained at the Bankruptcy Court's website,
www.deb.uscourts.gov. To view the documents on the Bankruptcy Court's website,
you will need to obtain a "Pacer" password. Please see the Bankruptcy Court's
website for instructions on how to obtain such a password and the related
charges.
In anticipation of and following the filing of the Bankruptcy Case,
Registrant significantly reduced its workforce, management, and administrative
staff. Due to Registrant's lack of financial and physical resources, Registrant
is currently unable to file its annual and quarterly reports with the Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "34 Act Reports") and expects to remain unable to
file its 34 Act Reports for the duration of the Bankruptcy Case.
Registrant encourages investors to review the Monthly Reports
available on the Bankruptcy Court's website but cautions investors not to place
undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Reports. The
Monthly Reports contain unaudited information and may be subject to future
adjustment or reconciliation. There can be no assurance that the Monthly Reports
are complete from the perspective of an investor. The Monthly Reports also
contain information for periods different from those required in the Company's
34 Act Reports. The financial information reflected in the Monthly Reports may
not be indicative of the Registrant's financial condition or operating results
for the period reflected in the Company's financial statements or in its 34 Act
Reports.
The Monthly Reports may contain statements that relate to future
plans, events or performance and, as such, are forward-looking statements that
involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements including the
ability to continue to operate, obtain needed capital, including any required
consents of lenders, lessors, and preferred stockholders and any necessary
restructuring of indebtedness, the attainment of EBITDA positive, free cash flow
and net income positive results, improved margins, network and fiber deployment
plans and schedules, revenue growth, resale customer movement to the network,
network applications and services development and deployment, financial results,
operating metrics expectations, reduced operating costs, and the effects of the
current economic conditions. Investors are, accordingly, cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Registrant undertakes no
obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements that may be made or reflect circumstances, events
or results after the date hereof.
