Report of Independent Auditors
(Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish--See Note 2 (b))
To the Shareholders and Directors of
Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.:
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the three-month periods then ended. These interim financial statements and the accompanying notes are the responsibility of the management of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. The accompanying Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements is not an integral part of these financial statements, and therefore this report does not cover this item.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Chile for a review of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to the financial statements and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. The scope of this review is substantially less than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Chile, the objective of which is to express an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statement taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not have the ability to express, and we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review of the interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, we are not aware of any material modifications that are required for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

The consolidated financial statements correspond to the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
(b) Basis of preparation:
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile (Chilean GAAP) and standards set forth by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (SVS). In the event of any discrepancies in these regulations, SVS regulations supersede Chilean GAAP. Certain accounting practices applied by the Company that conform to Chilean GAAP may not conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For the convenience of the reader, these financial statements have been translated from Spanish to English.
The Companys consolidated financial statements as of June 30 and December 31 of each year are prepared in order to be reviewed and audited, respectively, in accordance with current legal regulations. The Company voluntarily submits the quarterly financial statements as of March 31 and September 30 to an interim financial information review performed in accordance with regulations established for this type of review, described in Generally Accepted Auditing Standard (GAAS) No. 45 Section No. 722, issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants.

The consolidated financial statements for 2007 and their notes have been adjusted for comparison purposes by 8.04% in order to allow for comparison with the 2007 consolidated financial statements. For comparison purposes, certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
(e) Price-level restatement:
The consolidated financial statements have been adjusted by applying price-level restatement standards, in accordance with Chilean GAAP, in order to reflect the changes in the purchasing power of the currency during both exercises. The accumulated variation in the Chilean Customer Price Index (CPI) as March 31, 2008 and 2007, for initial balances, is 0.8% and 0.2%, respectively.
(f) Basis of conversion:
Assets and liabilities in US$ (United States dollars), Euros, Brazilian Reales, Yen (JPY), UF (Unidad de Fomento) have been converted to pesos at the exchange rates as of each period end, as follows:
YEAR | US$ | EURO | BRAZILIAN REAL |
JPY | UF |
2008 | 437.71 | 690.94 | 249.99 | 4.39 | 19,822.53 |
2007 | 539.21 | 720.00 | 262.02 | 4.57 | 18,372.97 |
Foreign currency translation differences resulting from the application of this standard are credited or debited to income for the period.
(g) Time deposits:
Time deposits are carried at cost plus UF indexation adjustments, where applicable, and accrued interest as of period end.
(h) Marketable securities:
Fixed income securities and shares are recorded at their price-level restated cost plus interest accrued as of each year end using either the actual interest yield determined at the purchase date or market value, whichever is less.
(i) Inventory:
Depending on the nature of respective items, equipment held for sale is carried at the lesser of either its price-level restated acquisition or development cost or at its market value.
Inventory that is expected to be used within twelve months of their acquisition are classified as current assets. Their cost is price-level restated. The obsolescence provision has been determined on the basis of an analysis of materials with slow turnover.
(j) Allowance for doubtful accounts:
The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated on the basis of the aging of such accounts, up to 100% of accounts outstanding for more than 120 days and 180 days in the case of large customers (corporations).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
(k) Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are carried at their price-level restated acquisition or construction cost.
Property, plant and equipment acquired up through December 31, 1979 are carried at their appraisal value, as stipulated in Article 140 of D.F.L. No. 4. Some assets subsequently acquired were subject to a technical revaluation of their appraisal value recorded as of September 30, 1986, as authorized in SVS Circular No. 550. All these values have been price-level restated.
(l) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment:
Depreciation has been calculated and recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The average annual financial depreciation rate of the Company is approximately 8.09% .
Estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:
Assets | Range of years | |
Building | 40 | |
Switchboard telephone equip. | 7 to 12 | |
Subscriber equipment | 2 to 4 | |
External plant | 20 to 40 | |
Office furniture and equip. | 4 to 10 | |
Software | 3 | |
Others | 4 to 10 | |
(m) Leased assets:
Leased assets with a purchase option, where the contracts satisfy the characteristics of a financial lease, are recorded in a manner similar to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, recognizing the full obligation and interest on an accrual basis. These assets are not legally owned by the Company; therefore, until the Company exercises the purchase option, such assets cannot be freely disposed of.
(n) Intangibles:
i) Rights to underwater cable:
Rights to underwater cable correspond to the rights acquired by the Company for the use of an underwater cable to transmit voice and data. These rights are amortized over the term of the respective contracts, with a maximum of 25 years (Note 13).
ii) Software licenses:
Software licenses are valued at their price-level restated acquisition cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life, which does not exceed 3 years (Note 13).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
(o) Investments in related companies:
These investments are accounted for under the equity method, which recognizes the investors share of income on an accrual basis. For investments abroad, the valuation methodology as defined in Technical Bulletin No. 64 is applied. Investments in countries deemed to be unstable and whose activities are not an extension of the operations of the Parent Company are controlled in US dollars.
(p) Goodwill:
This account corresponds to the differences originating from adopting the equity method and adjusting the cost of investments, or from the realization of new acquisitions. Goodwill and negative goodwill amortization years have been determined taking into consideration aspects such as the nature and characteristics of the business and the estimated year of return on the investment (Note 12).
(q) Transactions with repurchase agreements:
Purchases of financial instruments that include repurchase agreements are recorded as fixed rate instruments and are classified as Other Current Assets (Note 8).
(r) Bonds and promissory notes payable:
Bonds payable are recorded under liabilities at the par value of the issued bonds (Note 17). The difference between par and placement value, determined on the basis of the actual interest rate for the transaction, is deferred and amortized over the term of the respective bond (Notes 8 and 14).
Costs directly related to the placement of these obligations are deferred and amortized over the term of the respective liability (Notes 8 and 14).
(s) Current and deferred income taxes:
Income tax is recorded on the basis of taxable net income. Deferred taxes on all temporary differences, tax loss carry forwards that can be realized as future tax benefits, and other events that create differences between the tax and accounting values are recognized in accordance with Technical Bulletins No. 60 and complementary technical bulletins thereto issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants, and with SVS Circular No. 1,466 dated January 27, 2000.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
(u) Revenue recognition:
The Companys revenues are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with Chilean GAAP. Since billing dates are different from the accounting close date, as of the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, provisions have been established for services provided and not billed, which are determined on the basis of contracts, traffic, prices and current conditions for the year. These amounts are recorded under Trade Accounts Receivable.
(v) Foreign currency forwards:
The Company has signed foreign currency hedge future contracts which have been entered into to hedge against changes in the exchange rate of its current obligations in foreign currency.
These instruments are valued in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 57 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.
The rights and obligations acquired are detailed in Note 27, being reflected in the balance sheet as only the net right or obligation at period end and classified according to the maturity of each contract under Other Current Assets or Other Payables, as applicable.
(w) Interest rate coverage:
Interest on loans for which associated interest rate swaps have been entered into is recorded recognizing the effect of those contracts on the interest rate established in such loans. The rights and obligations acquired therein are shown under Other Payables or under Other Current Assets, as applicable.
(x) Computer software:
The cost of software purchased is deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over a maximum period of three years and classified as other property, plant and equipment.
(y) Cumulative translation adjustment:
In this shareholders equity reserve account, the Company recognizes the difference between the variation in the exchange rate and the consumer price index (C.P.I.) originated in the restatement of its investment abroad and its goodwill, which are controlled in United States dollars. The balance of this account is recognized as income in the same year in which the net income or loss is recognized on the total or partial disposal of these investments.
(z) Statement of cash flows:
For the purposes of preparing the Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 50 of the Chilean Association of Accountants and SVS Circular No. 1,312, the Company defines securities under agreements to resell and time deposits with a remaining maturity of less than 90 days as cash equivalents.
Cash flows related to the Companys operations and all those not defined as resulting from investing or financing activities are included under Cash Flows from Operating Activities.

6. Balances and transactions with related companies, continued:
The intercompany account with Telefónica Internacional Chile S.A. includes short-term and long-term contractual terms denominated in US dollars, accruing interest at a variable rate adjusted to market rates (US$ + Market Spread).
Items recorded under Sales and Services Rendered have a short-term character (maturity of less than a year); individual terms for each transaction vary based on related transactions.
7. Current and deferred income taxes:
a) General information:
As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Parent Company recorded a first category income tax provision based on taxable income of ThCh $18,451,919 and ThCh $34,083,373 respectively.
In addition, as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, a provision for first category income tax in subsidiaries was recorded based on the subsidiaries respective taxable income of ThCh$12,782,886 and ThCh $13,156,038, respectively.
As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, accumulated tax losses of subsidiaries amount to ThCh$13,191,494 and ThCh$8,057,296, respectively.
According to current legislation, tax years eventually subject to review by the fiscal authority, contemplate most of the taxes that affect the Companys operations and transactions generated from 2004 to date.
In the normal development of its operations, the company is subject to the regulation and oversight of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service; therefore differences could arise in the application of criteria used to determine taxes. Management believes, based on the information available to date, that there are no significant additional liabilities to those already recorded for that concept in the financial statements.
The companies in the group with positive Retained Taxable Earnings and their associated credits are as follows:
Subsidiaries | Retained | Retained | Retained | Retained | Retained | Amount | ||||||

(1) | This amount corresponds to the cost (net of amortizations) of the disbursements incurred for foreign loans obtained by the Company to finance its investment plan. The short-term portion is presented under Other Current Assets (Note 8). | |
(2) | With the implementation of new contractual conditions derived from the organizational changes in the Company, there have been a series of studies that allowed, with primary effect in 2004, the modification in the calculation basis for staff severance indemnities of the variable for future service life of employees. After concluding these studies, in 2005, other changes in estimates were incorporated, such as personnel fluctuation rate, mortality of employees and future salary increases for the year 2006, which includes the rate mentioned in Note 2 (s) for 2006, all determined on the basis of actuarial calculations, as established in Technical Bulletin No. 8 of the Chilean Association of Accountants. The short-term portion is recorded under Other Current Assets (Note 8). | |
The difference generated as a result of changes in the actuarial estimates constitutes actuarial gains or losses, which are deferred and amortized over the estimated average remaining future service life of the employees that will receive the benefit (see Note 2s). | ||
(3) | In conformity with the union agreements between the Company and its employees, loans were granted to employees, the amounts and conditions of which were based on, among other considerations, the accrued balances of staff severance indemnities at the date of the grant. The short-term portion is recorded under Other Current Assets (Note 8). | |
The staff severance indemnities provision has been recorded in part at its current value, deferring and amortizing this effect over the years of average remaining future service life of employees that subscribe to the benefit. The loan is presented under Other Long- term Receivables. |

28. Contingencies and commitments:
a) Lawsuit against the State of Chile:
(i) Having exhausted all administrative remedies aimed at correcting the errors and illegal actions taken in the tariff-setting process of 1999, in March 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit for damages against the Government of Chile for the amount of ThCh$ 181,038,411, plus readjustments and interest, covering past and future damages incurred up to May 2004.
The judicial process is currently at the sentencing stage.
(ii) Telefónica Chile and Telefónica Larga Distancia filed an indemnity suit against the State of Chile, claiming damages caused were due to modification of the telecommunications cable network due to works carried out by highway concessionaries from 1996 to 2000.
The amount of the damages claimed consists of both companies having to pay to transfer their telecommunications networks due to the construction of public works concessioned under the Concessions Law in the amount of:
a.- Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.: ThCh$ 1,929,207 (historical)
b.- Telefónica Larga Distancia S.A.: ThCh$ 2,865,209 (historical)
On March 24, 2008, final first instance sentence was dictated rejecting the complaint without costs.
This sentence is being appealed.
b) Lawsuits:
(i) Voissnet Lawsuit:
On March 14, 2005, Telefónica Chile responded to the complaint filed by Voissnet before the Antitrust Commission (Tribunal de la Libre Competencia) TDLC, for alleged events which in their opinion went against free competition, development of Internet technology, fundamental broadband telephony, and access to broadband, by not providing voice services through the broadband Internet access provided by Telefónica Chile.Voissnet intends for the TDLC to obligate Telefónica Chile to allow third parties to provide IP Telephony through the Internet using its ADSL.
On October 26, 2006, the Company was notified of the sentence dictated by the Antitrust Commission, which partially accepted the complaint filed by Voissnet S.A. and the requirement of the National Economic Attorney Generals Office (Fiscalía Nacional Económica), which sentenced Telefónica Chile to pay a fine of 1,500 UTA.
On July 4, 2007, the Supreme Court dictated sentence on the complaint filed by Telefónica Chile, against the ruling of the Antitrust Commission, which partially accepted the complaint filed by Voissnet and the requirement of the National Economic Attorney Generals Office (Fiscalía Nacional Económica), and reduced the fine from 1,00 to 556 UTA, eliminating whereas clauses 72 to 81 of the TDLCs ruling, which would allow Voissnet to act without a concession, and leaving in force the whereas clauses that declare that broadband is a non-regulated service that does not require concession.

28. Contingencies and restrictions, continued:
(ii) New Voissnet complaint:
On July 12, 2007 Voissnet filed a complaint before the Antitrust Commission (TDLC) against Telefónica Chile for alleged cross subsidy in the joint commercialization of its broadband and fixed telephony services, taking advantage of its dominant position in those markets. The complaint was notified on August 20, 2007.
Telefónica Chile requested that the complaint be rejected, with costs, since the packaged voice and broadband offers are due to a competitive dynamic, and it has not incurred in practices that attempt against free competition.
This is currently at the stage where the Court must dictate the resolution setting the facts on which evidence must be rendered.
(iii) Complaint filed by VTR Telefónica S.A.:
On June 30, 2000, VTR Telefónica S.A. filed an ordinary lawsuit, claiming payment of Ch$2,204 million, plus amounts accrued during the lawsuit, for the concept of access charges for the use if its networks. It based its complaint on the differences originated due to the reduction of access charges after Tariff Decree No. 187 came into effect. Telefónica Chile sustained that the access charge tariffs that both parties must pay each other for the reciprocal use of their networks are regulated by a signed contract which VTR is ignoring. The first instance sentence accepted VTRs complaint and the compensation alleged in subsidy by Telefónica Chile. The Company filed an ordinary public motion and appeal, which are pending before the Santiago Court of Appeals.
There are two other cases related to the previous judicial process. The first filed by VTR in 2002 before Subtel for alleged non-payment of invoices for access charges set by D.S. 26, to obligate Telefónica Chile to pay those invoices and impose the fines foreseen in the General Telecommunications Law. That case has been suspended by order of the Minster at that time, until there is a sentence in the judicial proceeding filed by VTR in 2000. The other case was filed by Telefónica Chile on June 6, for VTRs non payment of access charges according to the contract signed between the parties and it has been suspended until there is a sentence in the first of the mentioned lawsuits.
In turn, on December 21, 2005 Telefónica Chile sued VTR for non payment of automatic reversal of charges services (800-services) for the amount of Ch$1,500 million, plus sums accrued during the course of the lawsuit. VTR filed a counterclaim for the same concepts, for the amount of Ch$1,200 million. That judicial process is in the first instance proceeding stage.

(iv) Manquehue Net:
On June 24, 2003, Telefónica Chile filed a forced contract fulfillment complaint with damage indemnity before the arbitration court of Mr. Víctor Vial del Río against Manquehue Net, for the amount of ThCh$3,647,689, and the sums accrued during the proceeding. On the same date, Manquehue Net filed a discount compliance complaint (in the amount of UF 107,000), in addition to a obligation claim (the signing of 700 service contracts).
On April 11, 2005, the Arbitrator notified the fist instance sentence that accepted the complaint of Telefónica Chile, sentencing Manquehue Net to pay approximately Ch$ 452 million, and at the same time accepted the complaint filed by Manquehue Net sentencing Telefónica Chile to pay UF 47,600.
Telefónica Chile filed ordinary public law motions against both sentences, which are currently pending before the Santiago Court of Appeals.
(v) Chilectra and CGE:
In June 2006, Telefónica Chile filed complaints against Chilectra S.A. and Río Maipo (today CGE Distribución), requesting an adjusted refund of the Reimbursable Financial Contributions (AFR) (Aportes Financieros Reembolsables) that the company paid between 1992 and 1998, in virtue of the Electric Law. The amounts to be restored amount to ThCh$899,658 and ThCh$117,350, respectively. The complaints have been recently notified and are at the discussion stage.
(vi) Labor lawsuits:
Labor lawsuits have been filed against the company during the normal course of operations.
To date there are certain labor proceedings involving former employees that claim wrongful dismissal. These employees did not sign contract termination agreements or receive severance indemnity for years of service. On several occasions the Supreme Court reviewed the sentences passed on the matter, accepting the Companys thesis, ratifying the validity of the terminations; however there are certain lawsuits pending first instance sentencing.
There are also other lawsuits that involve former employees in certain proceedings, with paid staff severance indemnities and paid and signed contract termination agreements, who in spite of having chosen voluntary retirement plans or having been terminated due to company needs, intend to have them annulled. Of these lawsuits, to date, two have been favorable to the Company, rejecting the annulment.
Certain Syndicates have filed complaints before the Santiago Labor Courts, requesting indemnification for various concepts.
(vii) Complaint filed by Telmex Servicios Empresariales S.A:
During the first quarter of 2008, Telmex Servicios Empresariales S.A. filed a complaint before the Antitrust Commission against Telefónica Chile, for alleged affectation of free competition, related to the process of being awarded the concession for local wireless public service of the 3.400 3.600 MHz band, requesting condemnation to pay a fine in benefit of the Government in the amount of 18,000 UTA.
The Company answered the complaint within the deadline, requesting rejection of all its parts.

(viii) Empresa Ferrocarriles del Estado de Chile:
Ordinary lawsuit: Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado versus Telefónica Chile, filed before the 7th Civil Court of Santiago. That process was initiated by forced compliance complaint regarding the obligations agreed upon or consented derived from the Regulation on Railway Crossing, Parallelism and Support, which in addition demanded payment of a sum no less than 48,298.44 UTM, whether for the construction or annual passage relating to crossings located on the railway, plus indemnity for material damages and pain and suffering alleged to have been experienced, with readjustments, interest and costs, and notwithstanding the sums accrued during the proceeding.
On March 25, 2008 final first instance sentencing was passed fully rejecting the complaint.
(ix) Theoduloz Slier and Ochoa Soriano versus Zalaquett Zalaquett and Telefónica Chile:
On January 17, 2008, Telefónica Chile was notified of an executive obligation to perform complaint filed by Ms. Rodemilia Theoduloz Slier and Matilde Ochoa Soriano against Armando Zalaquett Zalaquett and Telefónica Chile; the obligation to perform consisted of delivery of 14,468,895 Series A shares of Telefónica Chile whose titleholder is the defendant, Armando Zalaquett Zalaquett.
Regarding the origin of this complaint, it should be noted that due to a capital increase of Compañía de Teléfonos de Chile S.A. carried out in 1988, Mr. Armando Zalaquett Zalaquett subscribed 3 cash share subscription agreements, which were not paid within the deadline, therefore receiving application of the executive proceeding foreseen in Article 17 of Law No. 18,046.
Telefónica Chile opposed the execution, since Mr. Zalaquett is not a shareholder of the Company, which is currently in process.
(x) Other lawsuits:
During the last quarter of 2007, resolutions dictated by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications were notified, in which fines were applied due to non-compliance with the previous resolutions, which altogether amount to UTM 33,700. Telefónica Chile has filed appeals against those resolutions, which are currently in process and pending sentence. It should be noted that the resolutions consider daily fines, which as of December 31, 2007 are estimated to amount to close to UTM 1,200.
Management and its internal and external legal counsel periodically monitor the evolution of the lawsuits and contingencies affecting the Company during the normal course of its operations, analyzing in each case the possible effects on the financial statements. Based on this analysis and the information available to date, management and its legal counsel believe that it is unlikely that the Companys income and equity will be significantly affected by loss contingencies that could eventually represent significant liabilities in addition to those already recorded in the financial statements.
(c) Financial restrictions
In order to develop its investment plans, the Company has obtained financing both in the domestic market and abroad (Notes 15, 16 and 17) which establish, among other things: clauses on the maximum debt the Company may maintain.
43
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish See Note 2b)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
28. Contingencies and restrictions, continued:
The maximum debt ratio is 1.60.
Non-compliance with these clauses implies that all the obligations assumed in these financing contracts would be considered due and payable.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company complies with all financial restrictions.

Relevant Aspects of the Industry
The most relevant event of the first quarter was the threefold increase in broadband speed offered by Telefónica and VTR without increasing the price of the service. Manquehue and Telsur announced that they would equal this offer.
During March 2008 the integrated services offer was consolidated, generating a new focus of competition among the different operators in the sector, with the Companys own services or alliances with third parties. In this manner, in the residential area almost all fixed operators already have service package offers (voice, broadband and TV). A similar situation occurs in small and medium companies with voice and broadband plan offers, while in the corporate area, operators offer integrated solutions that allow companies to consolidate their IP networks to transmit voice and data and facilitate integration toward business processes based on information technology. In a transversal manner, mobile communications have become massive in the social and corporate areas of the country.
A competition model was maintained at a worldwide level, mainly using copper par (ADSL), coaxial, fiber optics and wireless (3G, WiMax, PHS) technologies.
In the mobile area the highlight is the incorporation of 3G technology to the commercial offer of the operators, which all operate through the UMTS and HSDPA standard.

3. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD
EVOLUTION OF THE INCOME STRUCTURE AND OPERATING COSTS
Operating income
The new income structure has been evolving coherently with the strategy of packaging voice, broadband and television services, through a flexible offer where customers create the combination of services that best suit their needs. In this manner, the Company has managed to go from a single-service to a multi-service line of business.
This is evident if we analyze the evolution of income in the period from January to March 2008 in relation to the period January to March 2007; it is clear that the flexibility and packages of the multiple services offered by the Company have allowed it to compensate for the drop in income from traditional telephone business and achieve a 1.4% increase in comparison to the 2007 period.
As commented in Operating Income, the gradual increase in income from flexible plans, broadband and television has reverted the downward tendency of previous years and offset the drop in traditional telephony (fixed and variable charge) and long distance business.
The above is reflected in the following graph, which shows the growth in the contribution of packaged products, which coincides with the Companys new business strategy.
8
Operating Costs
The new structure of services has had a direct effect on the structure of costs. The services that compose the multi-service offer have two fundamental characteristics, on the one hand they have associated variable costs and
commercialization expenses, which are added to the Companys fixed costs and, on the other, they are services that due to their nature, in general generate lower margins. Although this has increased the Companys operating costs, it is
expected that these should stabilize in time.
9
3.1 OPERATING INCOME
As of March 31, 2008, operating income reached Ch$ 11,269 million, which represents a 22.3% decrease in respect to the previous year.
A. Operating Income
Operating income for 2007 amounted to Ch$ 157,278 million, a growth o 1.4% in relation to the income obtained the previous year of Ch$ 155,042 million.
The Companys strategy, focusing on the change in the business structure, has allowed strengthening the growth in Broadband and Television, which together with Flexible Plans, has neutralized the decrease in income from the traditional business of Fixed Telephony and Long Distance.
i. Revenues from Voice and Complementary: this income shows a 6.7% decrease in respect to the previous year, mainly because:
Basic telephone service (Voice), represents 34.8% of consolidated income and shows a 10.3% drop in respect to the previous year, originated by:
Fixed monthly charge, corresponding to the fixed monthly charge for
connection to the network, decreased by 5.7% mainly explained by migration of customers to flexible plans.
Variable charge, decreased by 20.2%, which shows the effect of lower income derived from the drop in traffic per
line and migration of customers to flexible plans.
Flexible plans, growth of customers in Flexible Plans leveraged by migration from traditional telephony and capturing new customers, implying a 12.2% growth in respect to the previous year.
Access charges and interconnections, represent 8.2% of consolidated income and decreased by 2.4%, mainly due to 23.5% lower income from domestic long distance access charges, effect that is offset by a slight 26.7% increase in income from international long distance. On the other hand other interconnection services decreased by 2.9%, emphasizing increases in media rental services, information services, unbundling services and fixed-fixed access charges.
Complementary Services, represent 11.0% of consolidated income and show a 12.1% decrease, equivalent to Ch$2,547 million mainly explained by the net effect of:
The decrease in inside
income and income from equipment rental and value added services is mainly due to the drop in average lines in service; and the decrease in income from telephone book advertising, security services, public telephones and switchboard and dedicated
ISP.
The increase in income from commercialization of equipment and connections and other installations.
10
ii. Broadband: Has shown a sustained increase in the last years reaching Ch$ 27,567 million in 2008, with a 17.5% increase in comparison to the same period the previous year mainly due to the 22.4% increase in the number of customers.
iii. Television: a little over a year after it was launched income from television represents 5.0% of operating income. In the same period the previous year, income from these services amounted to Ch$8,991 million. The number of customers has grown by 79.5% in comparison to the previous year.
iv. Revenues from Long Distance: Revenues from these services decreased by 7.7% in comparison to 2007, due to a 16.1% decrease in income from DLD mainly due to lower average income and a 10.8% decrease in media and circuit rental.
v. Revenues from Corporate Communications: This business revenue shows a 5.2% increase in respect to the same period in 2007, mainly due to the effects of a 10.8% increase in data circuits, 2.9% in income from data services and 3.6% income from terminal equipment.
vi. Revenues from Other Businesses: These revenues increased by 12.3% mainly due to the increase in revenues from Instituto Telefónica in comparison to the previous period.
B. Operating Costs
Operating costs for the period reached Ch$14,009 million, increasing by 3.9% in relation to 2007. This is mainly explained by: i) costs generated by the new business model of Internet access with Terra, for ADSL customers; ii) the purchase of content for the television business; and iii) a 5.4% increase in the remunerations line. The latter is explained by the internalization of employees who were previously hired by third parties, performed by the Company due to the application of the Subcontracting Law, whereas depreciation cost dropped by 5.4% .
11
3.2 NON-OPERATING INCOME
Non-operating income obtained in the year ended March 31, 2008 shows a deficit of Ch$6,010 million, a 20.6% decrease in respect to the previous period. The most significant effects are generated by:
a) Financial income shows an increase of 19.3%, mainly due to more volume of funds, transitorily destined to financial investments.
b) Other non-operating income reached an amount of Ch$ 570 million, figure that is lower than the Ch$ 2,126 million reached in the 2007 period. This is mainly because in 2007 higher revenues were obtained from disposal of assets and indemnities to contractors for loss of equipment. For this period 82% of the heading corresponds to fines to suppliers and contractors.
c) Financial expenses increased by 49.1% in the 2008 period, mainly associated to the nominalization of the Companys debt, which changed from US dollars/UF to US dollars/Chilean pesos, which implies a higher rate assumed for the respective interest rate insurance covered by the respective insurance contracts at a nominal peso rate. This is framed within the hedge policy that allows the company to mitigate the exposure of the debt to the high volatility of the UF and inflation.
d) Other non-operating expenses reached Ch$ 2,871 million, Ch$1,176 million higher than those in the 2007 period. This derived mainly from higher restructuring expenses and retirement of out of service property, plant and equipment.
e) Price-level restatement in the 2008 period shows a net gain of Ch$ 1,328 million, mainly due to the variations experienced in the CPI, Unidad de Fomento and exchange rate.
3.3 NET RESULT FOR THE PERIOD
f) As of March 31, 2008, net results reached net income of Ch$1,045 million, whereas in 2007 net income was Ch$ 1,138 million. The lower income obtained in 2008 is derived from 22.3% lower operating income, basically due to higher operating costs and to the slight increase in the level of income taxes. Both effects are partly offset by the 20.6% decrease in non-operating deficit.
12
3.4 RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA
1. Basic Telephone Business: Recorded a net loss of Ch$ 1,045 million as of March 31, 2008, in relation to the Ch$ 1,138 million deficit recorded in the 2007 period. This was due to lower operating income, generated by an 0.12% deficit in operating income in conjunction with a 2.5% increase in selling costs and 6% in administration and selling expenses, effect that was partially offset by the variation in non-operating deficit and positive income, due to a 74.26% improvement in financial income and a 9.98% increase in net income from sale of investment in related companies, effect that was partially offset by 43.4% higher financial expenses and a 73.81% deficit in other non-operating revenues.
2. Corporate Communications Business: This business contributed net income of Ch$ 2,825 million, a 70.6% increase in relation to the 2007 period which presents net income of Ch$ 1,655 million, mainly due to higher operating income due to the 26.6% decrease in administration and selling expenses, partly offset by the 12.20% increase in operating costs.
3. Long distance Business: As of December 31, 2008 presented net income of Ch$ 5,287 million, lower than net income reached in the 2007 period in the amount of Ch$ 5,640 million. This variation is mainly produced by operating income which decreased due to the 7.87% increase in administration and selling expenses, as well as the 21.72% deficit presented in non-operating income, which arises mainly from higher losses related to price-level restatement and exchange differences.
4. Other Businesses: These businesses mainly include the services of Instituto Telefónica, T-gestiona and Fundación. The businesses as a whole generated net income of Ch$ 538 million, higher than the net income of Ch$ 479 million obtained in the 2007 period, due to higher income obtained by T-Gestiona.

The key points from the table above are the following:
The common liquidity index decreased due to a 54.8% increase in current liabilities due to transferring obligations with financial institutions in the 2008 period to the short-term which caused a 14.1% increase in accounts payable, whereas current assets only increased by 5.0% .
The increase in the debt ratio is explained by a 6.4% decrease in shareholders equity, mainly due to a decrease in stock capital and distribution of dividends, activities performed in 2007 and 2008, for the purpose of distributing cash surpluses to the shareholders.
6. EXPLANATION OF THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARKET OR ECONOMIC VALUE AND THE BOOK VALUE OF THE COMPANYS ASSETS
Due to market imperfections regarding the capital assets of the sector, there is no economic or market value that can be compared to their accounting values. However, there are certain buildings with a book value equal or close to zero. These buildings have a market value, but it is not significant with respect to the Companys assets in the aggregate.
For other assets with a referential market value, such as marketable securities (shares and promissory notes), provisions have been established when the market value is less than the book value.
7. ANALYSIS OF MARKETS, COMPETITION AND RELATIVE MARKET SHARE
Synthesis of Market Evolution
It is estimated that there were approximately 3.357 million lines in service in the Chilean market as of December 2007, a 3.0% increase in comparison to March 2007. Within fixed voice services, there were decreases of 1.4% in local, 8.7% in DLD and 3.2% in ILD with respect to the previous year.
It is estimated that the mobile telephony market had a total of 14.9 million subscribers as of March 2008, which represents growth of 11% with respect to March 2007.

8. ANALYSIS OF MARKET RISK
Financial Risk Coverage
Due to the attractive external interest rates in previous periods, the Company has obtained financing abroad mainly in US dollars and in certain cases at variable interest rates. For this reason, the Company faces two types of financial risks, the risk of changes in the exchange rate and the risk of changes in the interest rate.
Financial risk due to foreign currency fluctuations
The Company has exchange rate hedging instruments. The purpose of these instruments is to reduce the negative impact of fluctuations of the dollar on Company results. The percentage of interest-bearing debt exposure is defined and continuously reviewed, basically considering the volatility of the exchange rate, its trend, and the cost and availability of hedging instruments for different terms.
The main hedging instruments used are Cross Currency Swaps and dollar/UF and dollar/peso exchange insurance.
As of March 31, 2008, the financial debt in currency of origin expressed in US dollars reached US$ 831.3 million, including US$ 501.6 million in financial liabilities denominated in US dollars and US$ 329.7 million of debt in unidades de fomento. In this manner US$ 501.6 million corresponded to debt directly exposed to the changes in the US dollar and US$ 329.7 exposed to variations in the UF.
Simultaneously, the Company has Cross Currency Swaps, dollar/peso exchange insurance and assets denominated in US dollars that resulted, as of the 2008 first quarter closing date in an average of close to 0% and 37.4% exposure to foreign currency and UF financial debt, respectively.
Financial risk due to floating interest rate fluctuations
The policy for hedging interest rates seeks to reduce the negative impact on financial expenses due to interest rate increases.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had debt at the variable interest rates Libor and TAB, mainly for bank loans.
Financial derivative instruments have been used to hedge against increases in variable rates, particularly Cross Currency Swaps (that cover the Libor and TAB rate), which limit future fluctuations in the interest rates. As of March 31, 2008 this has resulted in a variable interest rate exposure of 60% of the total financial debt in original currency.
18
Regulatory Framework
1. Tariff System
Request to review the current qualification of local telephone services offered to the public subject to tariff setting
According to Law No. 18,168 (General Telecommunications Law), the prices of public telecommunications services and of intermediate telecommunications services are freely established by operators, unless there is an express qualification from the Antitrust Commission (formerly the Antitrust Resolutive Commission), stating that the conditions existing in the market are not adequate to guarantee a freedom of prices regime. In this case, the maximum tariffs for certain telecommunications services must be subject to tariff regulation.
As of January 30, 2008, the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications requested that the Antitrust Commission review the qualification of the telecommunications services for the 2009 - 2014 periods, for which it is considered that the market conditions are not adequate to guarantee a free tariff regime. The Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications considers that the domestic telecommunications market conditions merit reviewing current qualifications.
On February 7, 2008 the Antitrust Commission published in the Official Gazette the resolution through which the procedure contemplated in article 31 of Decree Law 211/73 began, considering the request for a report from the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications about the fixed telephone services regime to be presented. On the basis of that resolution, the Antitrust Commission notified the National Economic Attorney Generals Office, hereinafter the FNE (Fiscalía Nacional Económica), and the countrys telecommunications companies, in order for them to contribute information. On February 21, 2008, the FNE informed the beginning of the investigation and requested from Telefónica Chile information in order to attend to the requirement made by the Antitrust Commission. In addition, FNE convoked Telefónica Chile to a Special Audience to gather opinions on a predefined list of issues related to the pronouncement that must be issued to the Antitrust Commission in reference as to whether the conditions exist to guarantee a regime of tariff freedom in fixed telephone services.
Telefónica is preparing its responses to the petitions of the Antitrust Commission and the FNE and its participation in the process begun by the Antitrust Commission.

The preliminary project submitted for public consultation proposes, among other things, the matters that will be resolved by the Panel, its attributions and functions, its composition (five engineers and two lawyers) named by the Antitrust Commission, and its inabilities. The costs of the Panel will be paid pro rata by the concessionary companies which can consider both the value of their assets as well as the estimated number of discrepancies that affect them and their nature and complexity.
The authority is preparing a new version of this project, which has not been sent to the legislative process.
Modification of the concession regime: The purpose of the project submitted for consultation is to modify the Law to adjust to the technological progress reached at a worldwide level which propitiates convergence of networks and services so that network operators and service providers can have a regime without bureaucratic procedures for their services, replacing the current regime for a registration system, except when private use of the radio-electric spectrum is required. In addition there is differentiation between network operators and service operators, the separation of local DLD and the DLD multicarrier is eliminated, it is only maintained for ILD; the freedom to freely define the service zone is modified by establishing that the service zones originally registered in the registry cannot be decreased; Broadband is qualified as a telecommunications service, which enables the application of a series of regulations; sanctions are increased by increasing fines, the deadline for attending to supply requests is reduced from 2 years to 6 months. The Undersecretary of Telecommunications has stated that it will hold a 2nd public consultation on the matter.
