Norwalk, CT – May 2, 2002 – Cordia Corp. (OTCBB:CORC), a provider of technology enabled outsourced services to the insurance and telecommunications industries, today announced that its subsidiary, Cordia Communications Corp. has received CLEC certifications in Florida, New York and Pennsylvania.

Cordias CEO, Craig Gironda stated, We are excited about our expansion into telecommunications. We believe that, after many difficult years for competitive telecommunications providers, recent state public service commission (PSC") rulings in New York have created enormous opportunities to provide profitable telecommunications services while offering significant savings to our customers."

Cordia will only focus its resources in states where the state PSCs have promoted and enforced local competition", continued Mr. Gironda. We will initially concentrate all of our efforts in New York and will offer services in additional states only where the competitive pricing environment in each state justifies our entry."

In addition to offering discounted services, Cordia will continue to add value for its customers through online customer automation and self-service tools. In the coming months, Cordia expects to introduce a series of tools that will create a virtual outsourced telecommunications management service for its customers and partners.
