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.: |
1. |
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of
income and cash flow for the six-month period then ended. These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.. The Companys interim
consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 were reviewed by other auditors, who issued an unqualified opinion on these financial statements in a report dated July 19, 2004. The accompanying Managements
Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements in not an integral part of these financial statements, and, therefore, this report does not cover this item. |
|
|
2. |
We conducted our review 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. It is substantially more limited in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in
Chile, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statement taken as whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. |
|
|
3. |
Based on our review of the interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005, we are not aware of any material modifications that are required for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in Chile. |

Contingencies and restrictions: |
|
|
a) |
Lawsuits: |
|
| |
(i) |
Complaints presented by VTR Telefónica S.A.: |
|
| | |
On June 30, 2000, VTR Telefónica S.A. filed an ordinary suit for the collection of access charges in the amount of ThCh $ 2,500,000, based on the differences that would originate from the lowering of access
charges rate due to Rate Decree No. 187 of Telefónica CTC Chile. First instance sentence accepted the complaint of VTR and the compensation alleged by Telefónica CTC Chile. The Company filed a motion to vacate and appeal, which is
currently underway. |
|
| |
(ii) |
Labor lawsuits: |
|
| | |
In the course of normal operations, labor lawsuits have been filed against the Company. |
|
| | |
To date, among others, there are labor proceedings involving former employees, who claim wrongful dismissal. These employees did not sign termination releases or receive staff severance indemnities. On various occasions,
the Supreme Court has reviewed the sentences handed down on the matter, accepting the argument of the Company and ratifying the validity of the terminations. |
|
| | |
There are, in addition, other lawsuits involving former employees, whose staff severance indemnities have been paid and their termination releases signed, who in spite of having chosen voluntary retirement plans or having
been terminated due to company needs, intend to have the terminations voided. Of these lawsuits, to date, two have received a sentence favorable to the Company, rejecting the annulments. |
|
| | |
Certain unions have filed complaints before the Santiago Labor Courts, requesting indemnities for various concepts. |
|
| | |
In the opinion of Management and internal legal counsel, the risk that the Company will be required to pay indemnities in the amount claimed in the previously mentioned lawsuits, in addition to other civil and labor suits
in which the Company is the defendant, is remote. Management considers it unlikely that the Companys income and equity will be significantly affected by these loss contingencies. As a consequence, no provision has been established in relation
to the indemnities claimed. Consequently provisions have been established in relation to the indemnities claimed. |
|
| |
(iii) |
Lawsuit against the State of Chile: |
|
| | |
On October 31, 2001,Telefónica CTC Chile filed an administrative motion to set aside before the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Economy, requesting correction of the errors and
illegalities in Rate Decree No. 187 of 1999. On January 29, 2002, the Ministries issued a joint response rejecting the administrative recourse, determination which they arrived at after having carefully evaluated, only the viability and
timeliness of the petition made, considering the set of circumstances that concur in the problem stated and the prudence that must orient public actions, to add that such rejection has had no other moti |

Manquehue Net: |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
On June 24, 2003, Telefónica CTC Chile filed a forced compliance of contracts complaint with damage indemnity before the mixed arbitration court of Mr. Victor Vial del Río against Manquehue Net, in the amount
of Ch $3,647,689,175, in addition to costs incurred during the proceeding. Likewise, and on the same date, Manquehue Net filed a compliance with discounts complaint (in the amount of UF 107,000), in addition to an obligation to perform complaint
(signing of a 700 services contract). After completion of the evidence period, on June 5, 2004 the arbiter called the parties together to pronounce a sentence. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
On April 11, the Court notified the first instance sentence accepting the claim made by Telefónica CTC Chile condemning Manquehue to pay approximately Ch$452 million, and at the same time accepted

|
|
|
|
|
b) |
Financial restrictions: |
|
|
|
|
|
In order to carry out its investment plans, the Company obtained financing in the local and foreign market (notes 15, 16 and 17), which established among others: maximum debt that the Company may have, interest and cash flows coverage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum debt ratio for these contracts is 1.50, whereas the interest coverage ratio cannot be less than 4.00 and lastly the cash flow ratio must be equal to or greater than 0.166. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-compliance with these clauses implies that all the obligations included in these financing contracts will be considered as due. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2005 the Company complies with all the financial restrictions. |
|
|
|

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: |
|
(a) |
Accounting period: |
|
|
|
|
|
The interim consolidated financial statements correspond to the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
Basis of preparation: |
As of June 30, 2005, the Companys personnel included 3,879 employees (excluding the staff of Telefónica Móvil S.A.), which partly explains the 17.1% decrease in comparison to June 2004. This
decrease is also due to the effects of Telefónicas restructuring process materialized in November 2004.
Decrease in Financial Debt
Telefónica CTC Chile has continued to improve its debt level through amortization and prepayment of loans, renegotiation of payment terms and interest rates of current loans and also through the overall market
decline in interest rates. As of June 30, 2005, the financial debt reached Ch$542,540 million, reflecting a decrease of 41.8% compared to the financial debt of Ch$932,477 million recorded as of June 30, 2004. The decrease in indebtedness levels
together with the improved financing conditions and the drop in the value of the dollar translated into a 32.5% decrease in financial expenses in the first half of 2005.
Tariff Setting Process for Telefónica CTC Chile (Local Telephony)
On May 4, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction issued Tariff Decree No. 169, which they sent along with the supporting report to the Chilean
Comptroller for legislative review.
On June 2, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. filed two presentations to the Chilean General Comptroller within the process of recording Tariff Decree No. 169. The first presentation denounced manifest mathematical
errors in Decree 169 and requested the authorities to correct them. The second presentation included the legal objections relating to conceptual aspects that have an impact on the definition and scope of the services included in the decree. In both
presentations the Company expressly reserves the right to take jurisdictional actions.
Entel, Chilesat and Telmex filed a complaint with the Chilean General Comptroller against tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to scaling of access charges and the criteria for cost allocation of the various tariffs.
On September 16, 2004, the Ministries issued their report to the Chilean General Comptroller in relation to the impugnation formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile, Chilesat, Entel and Telmex. In this respect, the
Ministries reported that as a result of the review of the tariff model, a large part of the mathematical errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile were corrected, notwithstanding that other errors apparently contained in the mentioned tariff
decree were also corrected.
The Ministries defended the assignment of costs for access charges of Decree No. 169, indicating that such criteria is in accordance with the resolutions of antitrust agencies and pursuant to the Technical Economic
Basis.

With regard to the conceptual aspects claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile that impact the definition and scope of the services included in the decree, the Ministries rejected them, as well as the appeals of Entel,
Chilesat and Telmex.
On October 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile appealed again to the Chilean General Comptroller, in order to request correction of new mathematical errors incurred by the Ministries precisely at the moment of
correcting the errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile. Likewise, there was insistence on certain conceptual aspects.
Subtel reentered Decree No. 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on December 30, 2004, prior modification of certain tariffs of Network Unbundling services, in the item Adjustment of Civil Works.
Likewise, Subtel once again modified among other tariffs those of item Adjustment of Civil Works, reentering Decree No. 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on January 14, 2005.
In addition, in January 2005, Entel and Telmex filed new presentations to the Chilean General Comptroller, where Entel made appeals regarding the tariffs set by the Ministries for providing Adjustment of Civil
Works, and Telmex provided additional information that sustained that access charges tariffs must be based on direct cost.
On February 8, 2005, the Chilean General Comptroller placed Tariff Decree No. 169 under legislative review. The General Comptrollers Report does not accept the appeals formulated by Telefónica CTC and does
not make a pronouncement on the new mathematical errors denounced in October 2004. The appeals of Telmex, Chilesat and Entel were rejected by the Chilean General Comptroller.
On February 11, 2005 Tariff Decree No. 169 was published in the Official Gazette. Telefónica CTC Chile enabled in its systems the application of the new tariffs to customers and began the rebilling process as of
May 6, 2004.

Subsidies on sale of cellular telephones: |
|
|
|
|
|
Represents the difference between the cost at which Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. acquires the cellular equipment from its suppliers and the price at which they are sold to its customers, i.e. the amount of
subsidy granted to customers. |
|
|
|
|
|
The amount of subsidy both for prepaid as well as contract plans, with the exception of accommodation plans, is charged to income at the time the equipment is sold. |
|
|
|
|
(k) |
Gratuitous Loan Contracts ( Accommodation Contracts ): |
|
|
|
|
|
The acquisition cost of these cellular units is capitalized as property, plant and equipment and is depreciated over a term of 24 months from the date the contract is signed. The initial depreciation charge is recorded
during the month the contract is signed. |
|
|
|
|
|
As of June 1, 2002, as a customer retention commercial strategy, the Company implemented a customer loyalty policy, which consists of exchanging equipment that is 18 months old related to accommodation contracts. Based on
the above, depreciation provisions have been established for early write-off of equipment. |
|
|
|
|
|
As of September 2003, the Company began commercializing gratuitous cellular equipment instead of rental cellular equipment. Under the new system, the equipment is delivered for use during an agreed upon period of time,
while the Company maintains ownership of the equipment. |

Allowance for doubtful accounts: |
|
|
|
|

of large customers (corporations). |

Property, plant and equipment acquired up to December 31, 1979 are carried at their appraisal value, as stipulated in Article 140 of D.F.L. No. 4, and those acquired subsequently are carried at their acquisition value,
except for those assets which are carried at the appraisal value recorded as of September 30, 1986, as authorized in Circular No. 550 issued by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance. All these values have been price-level
restated.ce="sans-serif">)

i) Rights to underwater cable:
|
|
|
Corresponds to the rights acquired by the Company for
of use underwater cable to transmit voice and data. This right is amortized over
the term of the respective contracts, with a maximum of 25 years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 4 years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
iii) License for the use of radio-electric space:
|
|
|
Corresponds to the cost incurred in obtaining licenses
for the use of broad-band width. They are shown at price-level restated value
and are amortized over the concession term (30 years from the date of publication

|
|
(q)
|
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
applied is that defined in Technical Bulletin
No. 64. These investments are controlled in dollars, since they are in countries
deemed to be unstable and their activities are
not an extension of the operations of the Parent Company.
|
|
|
|
|
(r)
|
Goodwill:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Corresponds to the valuation differences that originate
when adjusting the cost of the investments, adopting the Equity Value method
or making a new purchase. Goodwill and negative goodwill amortization periods
have been
determined considering aspects such as the nature and characteristics of the
business and the estimated period of return
of the investment. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of investments abroad
is controlled in United States dollars (same
currency in which the investment is controlled) as per Technical Bulletin No.
64 of the Chilean Accountants Association. (See
Note 11).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Goodwill impairment has been assessed as required in
Circular No. 151, of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance and Technical
Bulletin No. 72 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

ANALYSIS OF INCOME FOR THE PERIOD |
3.1
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was Ch$ 49,838 million, which represents an increase of 7.9% in comparison to the first half of the previous year. This increase shows, among other effects the
deconsolidation of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. as of July 2004, company that during the first half of the year had an operating deficit.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues for the year amounted to Ch$284,455 million presenting a decrease of 31.6% in relation to revenues obtained in the first half of 2004 which reached Ch$415,883 million.
This variance is mainly because the first half of 2005 does not include income from mobile services, due to the deconsolidation of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. in July 2004, together with a
decrease in income from long distance and corporate communications, compensated in part by a growth in fixed telecommunications income.
Revenues from Fixed Telecommunications: Revenues from fixed
telecommunications increased by 2.8% due to the effects of a 3.1% decrease in basic telephony in respect to the previous year, a 20.9% decrease in the level of
variable charges, which shows the effect of lower income derived from the application of the new tariff decree, a
drop in traffic per line and migration of customers to flexible plans recorded in the first half of 2005. Fixed income, which corresponds to the monthly fixed
charge for network connection showed a 13.6% drop, mainly explained by the incorporation of customers to flexible plans, offset by the effect of greater income from the application of the new tariff decree. Consequent with the above, the
incorporation ts,
which set the conditions that regulateinternational
traffic, charging or paying the same according to net traffic receivable/payable
and the rates set in each agreement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This receivable/payable is recorded on an accrual basis,
recognizing the costs and income for the period in which these are incurred,
recording the net balances receivable and payable of each correspondent under Trade
Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable as applicable. |

As established in Technical Bulletin
No. 8 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants and in
light of the new contractual conditions derived from the organizational
evolution undergone by the Company, a series of studies were undertaken
to modify the calculation base for the staff severance indemnities
provision. Initially, in December 2004, this meant recognizing
deferred assets of ThCh $ 4,872,939 (historical). Concluding these
studies in the year 2005, the Company decided to also include
other actuarial estimates in the calculation methodology used
for this provision. The additional variables modified were: personnel
rotation index, mortality rate and salary increases. As a result
of these modifications, the Company recorded deferred assets of
ThCh$4,063,535 in the year 2005. Both effects will be amortized
over the future service period of the employees with this benefit
(see portion to be amortized in the short-term in Note 8d and
in the long-term in Note 14b). |

Sale of Telef&oacof customers to flexible plans positively contributed to a Ch$18,533 million increase in income. Revenues from connections and other installations were situated 30.0% below the value reached in the first half of the previous year, while value added
services grew by 13.2% partly due to an increase in advanced corporate services, whereas other basic telephone income shows a drop of 14.6% .
During the first half of 2005, broadband services showed a 65.4% growth, reaching Ch$18,331 million in 2005 while in the same period
the previous year revenues from these services amounted to Ch$11,084 million.
Access charges and interconnections increased by 55.7%, mainly due to a 69.5% increase in other interconnection services, featuring the increase in media rental services, carrier information and connection services and unbundling services, together with an 88.7% increase in
mobile and fixed connection charges. It should be noted that these increases have been influenced by recognition in 2005 of revenues from these services
generated with Telefónica Móvil. In addition, greater revenues from domestic and international long distance charges were obtained, equivalent to 24.6% and 17.9%, respectively.
Other local telephone services decreased by 12.0%, equivalent to Ch$3,990 million explained basically by the Ch$2,876
million drop in revenues from sale of equipment and Ch$1,194 million in revenues from interior installations and equipment rental.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Coute;nica
Móvil de Chile S.A. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a result of the sale of the
shares the Company held in the subsidiary Telefónica Móvil
de Chile S.A., Telefónica CTC Chile deconsolidated that
company from its financial statements as of July 1, 2004. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
14 |
Long Distance: Revenues from these services decreased by 1.5% in comparison to 2004, due to a decrease of
9.5% and 11.2% in DLD and ILD, respectively, situation that was influenced by a decrease in outgoing long distance prices, a 23.6% drop in DLD traffic and a 57.8% drop in outgoing ILD traffic. The above is partly offset by the incorporation of
revenues from media and circuit rental to Telefónica Móviles de Chile, as of July 2004.
Corporate Communications: This business revenue shows an 8.2% decrease in respect to the first half of the
previous year, mainly due to a 25.1% drop in revenues from complementary services together with a 7.8% decrease in income from sale of terminal equipment and a 7.5% decrease in data services, partly offset by a 7.8% increase in revenues from
circuits and others.
Mobile Communications: No revenues for this concept were recorded in the first half of 2005 due to the deconsolidation of this business as result of the sale
of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. in July 2004. In the same period of 2004 these revenues amounted to Ch$133,577 million.
Other Businesses: This revenue shows a 3.2% drop mainly due to the decrease in revenues from toll services.
Operating Costs
Operating costs for the year reached Ch$ 234,617 million, decreasing by 36.5% in relation to the first half of 2004, period in which they reached Ch$369,701 million, notwithstanding that when the mobile operations are
excluded, consolidated operating costs reached Ch$ 234,617 decreasing by 1.4% in relation to 2004.
This is mainly explained by a general decrease in the level of expenses, mainly in goods and services and depreciation due to the efforts displayed in the efficient use of the resources applied by the Company in the
last years.
3.2 NON-OPERATING INCOME
Non-operating income obtained in the period ended June 30, 2005 shows a deficit of Ch$12,866 million, figure that is lower than the non-operating deficit for the same
period in 2004 of Ch$20,584 million. The variation in non-operating income is broken down in the following manner:
Financial income shows an increase of 40.8%, which mainly includes interest on accounts receivable from the sale of the information application.
Other non-operating income shows an 82.4% decrease mainly due to a drop in other revenues together with lower income from fines to suppliers and indemnities,
compensated in part by net income from the sale of recovered materials and real estate rental. In addition 2004 includes net income from the sale of the investment held in Publiguías, compensated in part in 2005 by net income from the sale of
shares of Intelsat.
Financial expenses decreased by 32.5% in 2005, mainly due to lower financial debt, renegotiation of current loan rates, the low in market interest rates and the
effect of the drop in the exchange rate.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements |
11 |
Amortization of goodwill presents a decrease of Ch$5,115 million in relation to the first half of 2004, corresponding mainly to amortization of goodwill from the
investment in subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile, sold during 2004.
Other non-operating expenses decreased by 36.4%, due mainly to restructuring costs recognized in the first half of 2004, effect that was compensated by greater
severance indemnity expenses in lawsuits and the increase in depreciation of property, plant and equipment not in service.
Price-level restatement in the first half of 2005 recorded net income of Ch$204 million, originated mainly by the changes in the CPI and the Unidad de Fomento. It
should be noted that a 100% hedge has been maintained for exchange rate fluctuation and 70% hedge for interest rate. The Companys exchange rate (peso-dollar) hedge policy in great measure was able to neutralize the effects of the exchange rate
variation in 2004 and 2005.
3.3 NET INCOME FOR THE PERIOD
In the first half of 2005 the net income totaled Ch$ 21,364 million, whereas in the first half of 2004 net income reached Ch$10,099 million. The improved result obtained in 2005 in comparison to 2004, is due to a 7.9%
increase in the operating surplus and a decrease in non-operating deficit equivalent to 37.5%, effects that were slightly compensated by an increase in the income tax level.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA |
Fixed Telephony Business: Presented net income of Ch$7,829 million in the first half of 2005, situation that positively compares to the deficit of Ch$22 million recorded the
previous year, due to higher operating income and lower taxes.
Corporate Communications Business: This business contributed net income of Ch$5,189 million during the period, a 41.0% decrease in relation to the first half of 2004 which
shows net income of Ch$8,788 million, mainly due to 34.1% lower operating income.
Long Distance Business: As of June 30, 2005 shows net income of Ch$7,873 million, a 19.0% decrease in relation to the first half of the previous year. This variation is

Mobile Business: due to the deconsolidation of Telefónica Móviles de Chile S.A. in July 2004, the mobile business only shows revenues in 2004, recording a loss
of Ch$ 8,193 million.
Other Businesses: the businesses as a whole generated net income of Ch$473 million and operating net income of Ch$396 million in the first half of 2005, whereas during the
previous year they recorded a net loss of Ch$190 million with an operating loss of Ch$77 million. These businesses mainly include toll services ( Telepeajes ), Tecnonautica and shared services (T. Gestiona ).

|
The negative variation of Ch$ 146,028 million in cash flows for 2005 compared to the positive variation of Ch$ 60,371 million in 2004, is derived from the greater amortization of cash flows and prepayment destined to
decrease the financial debt of Telefónica and due to payment of dividends in the first half of 2005, both effects in relation to the same period the previous year. The negative variation in cash flows was partly compensated by the lower
levels of cash flows destined to investment activities.

From the previous table we highlight the following:
The common liquidity ratio shows a decrease due to a 42.2% drop in current assets, whereas current liabilities decreased by 27.8%, as a product of the decrease in financial debt in comparison to the first half of the
previous year. Both effects were influenced by the effects of the deconsolidation of the mobile business.
The decrease in the debt ratio is explained by a 34.5% drop in the level of demand liabilities, whereas shareholders equity decreased by 32.2%, mainly due to the distribution of retained earnings through payment
of dividends.

EXPLANATION OF THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARKET OR ECONOMIC VALUE
AND THE BOOK VALUE OF THE COMPANYS ASSETS |
Due to market inaccuracies regarding the capital assets of the sector, there is no economic or market value that can be compared to the respective accounting values. However, there are certain buildings with a book
value of zero or close to zero, which have a market value, which compared to the book value is not significant in respect to the Companys assets taken as a whole.
In relation to other assets, such as marketable securities (shares and promissory notes) with a referential market value, the corresponding provisions have been set up, when the market value is less than the book
value.
8. REGULATORY ASPECTS
Fixed Telephony Tariff Decree
Decree No. 187 is in effect as of May 5, 1999. It establishes maximum tariffs for Telefónica CTC Chile for local telephone services and interconnection services for a period of 5 years, which expired on May 5,
2004.
The main services subject to regulation of tariffs are: Telephone Line Service (formerly fixed charge), Local Measured Service, Local Tranche, Access Charges, Communications Service from Public Telephones and Network
Unbundling Services.
In relation to the procedure to be followed for setting tariffs for services subject to tariff regulation, on January 13 , 2003, Telefónica CTC Chile requested the Antitrust Commission to liberate tariffs in
specific geographic areas and to define telephone services which will be subject to tariff regulation in areas where the market conditions are not sufficient to guarantee a freedom of tariffs regime and that they determine that Telefónica CTC
Chile has the right to offer alternative tariff plans without prior authorization.
Along with the tariff-setting process of Telefónica CTC Chile, Subtel began the tariff-setting process for public services provided by Entelphone in Easter Island and the tariffs for interconnection services
(access charges) provided by Entelphone, CMET, Telesat and Manquehue Net.

On April 30, Telefónica CTC presented to Subtel its Technical Economic Bases for the Tariff Setting Study for the services provided by Telefónica CTC Chile to other public telephone concessionaries, to
intermediate services concessionaries, which provide long distance telephone services, and to suppliers of complementary services.
On May 20, 2003, the Resolutive Commission issued Resolution No. 686 which defines the services subject to tariff setting by the Ministries of Economy and Transportation and Telecommunications, which are similar to
those established for the 1999 2004 period. The mentioned Resolution No. 686 rejects the petition for deregulated tariffs for the specific primary z=2 face="serif">-

ones requested by Telefónica CTC Chile, and in relation to the request for tariff
flexibility, informed favorably by the Regulator, the Resolutive Commission did not make a specific pronouncement in spite of the fact that most of its members were in favor of making a pronouncement, whereas the rest of the members considered that
such matters did not correspond to that Commission. By request from Telefónica CTC Chile, the Resolutive Commission clarified Resolution No. 686, dictating to this effect Resolution No. 709, which disposed that notwithstanding the rate
setting by the administrative authority, the dominant operators could offer lower tariffs or different plans under the conditions defined by the respective authority.
On May 30, 2003, Subtel submitted to Telefónica CTC Chile the Preliminary Technical Economic Basis. Telefónica CTC Chile formulated 84 controversies to the Preliminary Technical Economic Basis of Subtel
and requested the formation of an Experts Commission as defined by law and in the Regulations that govern the procedure, advertising and participation of the tariff setting process.
The Experts Commission was officially formed on June 17, composed of experts designated by Telefónica CTC Chile and Subtel, and issued its report on July 17, 2003, making a unanimous pronouncement on all the
controversies, with the exception of only one which was approved by majority.
On July 25, 2003, Subtel issued Exempt Resolution No. 827 of 2003 which sets the Final Technical Economic Basis that guides the tariff study to set the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services
provided by Telefónica CTC Chile that are subject to tariff setting.
Entelphone, CMET, Manquehue Net and Telesat did not formulate controversies to the Preliminary TEB. Consequent with the above, Subtel dictated the Final Technical Economic Basis for the respective companies.
On November 6, 2003 Telefónica CTC Chile, presented the Tariff Study that sets the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services subject to tariff regulation.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements |

On March 5, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction presented their Report on Objections and Counterproposals to the Tariff Study filed by
Telefónica CTC Chile on November 6, 2003. The Company requested the formation of an Expert Commission, which was officially established on March 12, 2004. This Commission issued its report on April 2, 2004 ruling on the queries posed by
Telefónica CTC Chile.
On April 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed its Report on Amendments and Reiteration for the Tariff Study with the Ministries. This report included the recommendations of the Expert Commission and reiterated
support for those matters not subject to the Commissions opinion.
On May 4, 2004 the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction issued Tariff Decree No. 169, which they sent together with the supporting report to the Chilean General
Comptroller for legislative review.
On June 2, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed two presentations with the Chilean General Comptroller as part of the decrees legislative review process. The first reported mathematical errors in the decree
and requested that the authorities correct them. The second presentation outlined legal objections regarding the conceptual aspects of the decree affecting the definition and the scope of the services included therein. Both presentations expressly
reserved the Companys right to take action before the competent courts.
Entel, Chilesat and Telmex filed a complaint with the Chilean General Comptroller against Tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to the assignment of costs of access charges and the criteria for cost assignation of the
different tariffs.
On September 16, 2004 the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction issued their report to the Chilean General Comptroller in response to the appeals formulated by
Telefónica CTC Chile, Chilesat, Entel and Telmex. In this respect, the Ministries informed that as a result of the review of the tariff model many of the mathematical errors claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile were corrected and they also
made further corrections to the Tariff Decree.
In turn the Ministries defended the assignment of cost of access charges in T.D. 169, stating that such criteria has been made in conformity with the resolutions of antitrust organizations and those prescribed by the
Technical Economic Basis established for this tariff process.
With regard to the conceptual aspects claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile affecting the definition and scope of the services included in the decree, the Ministries rejected them along with the appeals of Entel,
Chilesat and Telmex.
On October 4, 2004 Telefónica CTC Chile appealed again to the Chilean General Comptroller in order to request the correction of mathematical errors incurred by the Ministries precisely at the moment of
correcting the errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile. Likewise, there was insistence on certain conceptual aspects.
Subtel once again submitted Decree No. 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on December 30, 2004 modifying certain network unbundling services tariffs, in the item Adjustment of Civil Works. Likewise,
Subtel once again modified among other tariffs those of item Adjustment of

Civil Works, and resubmitted Decree No. 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on January 14, 2005.
In addition, in January 2005, Entel and Telmex filed new presentations to the Chilean General Comptroller, where Entel objects to the tariffs set by the Ministries for providing Adjustment of Civil Works
and on its part Telmex accompanies information that sustains that access charge tariffs must be based on direct cost.
On February 8, 2005, the Chilean General Comptroller has Tariff Decree No. 169 under legislative review. The General Comptrollers Report does not accept the appeals formulated by Telefónica CTC and does

On February 11, 2005 Tariff Decree No. 169 was published in the Official Gazette. Telefónica CTC Chile enabled in its systems the application of the new tariffs to customers and began the rebilling process as of
May 6, 2004
Tariff Flexibility
By means of Resolution No. 709 of October 13, 2003, the Resolutive Commission decided to: Accept the request on fs 476 of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A., only in respect to that it is
necessary to clarify Resolution No. 686, of May 20, 2003, recorded on fs. 440, in the sense that the resolution implies that the market conditions are insufficient to ensure a free pricing system, therefore a maximum rate must be set. Lower tariffs
or plans may be offered, but the conditions of these, which protect and provide due guarantees to the user from those in dominant positions in the market, must be regulated by the respective authority.
The Official Gazette of February 26, 2004 published Decree No. 742 of December 24, 2003, issued by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, which establishes the regulations that govern, without restrictions
as to levels or structure, the conditions under which various plans and joint offers can be offered by the dominant operators of the local telephone public service.
Tariff flexibility allows Telefónica CTC Chile to offer its customers diverse commercial plans other than the regulated plan, stipulated by the authority, in accordance with the conditions so defined for that
purpose by the respective authority.
Telefónica CTC Chile started offering alternatives to the regulated plan in order to adapt to customers needs.
Mobile Telephony Tariff Decree
Decree No. 97 is in effect as of February 12, 1999. It establishes maximum tariffs for Telefónica Móvil S.A for interconnection services, including mobile access charges, for a period of five years, which
expired on February 12, 2004.
On July 25, 2003, Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. presented the Tariff Study to set the tariffs for services n=right>

On January 20. 2004, the Ministries, by means of a decree set the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services subject to tariff setting. That decree was submitted for acceptance by the Chilean General
Comptroller, together with the supporting report.
On April 12, 2004, the Chilean General Comptroller accepted the decrees that set the tariffs for access charges for mobile telephony companies. The tariff decrees were published in the Official Gazette of April 14,
2004.
Modifications to the Regulatory Framework
Telephone attention of complaints and gratuity of communications destined to emergency services
Decree No. 590 of the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications mandates free access for communications destined to levels of emergency services 131, 132 and 133 and communications destined to emergency
services are exempt from service disconnection; the obligation of the telephone companies to attend to complaints through the telephone is established and a new 105 number for special services is created for his purpose. In this respect,
Telefónica CTC Chile had already incorporated the gratuity of those communications as of May 6, 2004 based on the coming into force of tariff decree No. 169 and, in turn, attention of claims by telephone had been established since the end of
2000 through its special 107 number. In terms of enabling emergency communications from lines subject to service disconnection, Telefónica CTC Chile provided this service on lines connected to exchanges that had the capacity and functionality
to maintain access to emergency services even when service is cut off due to subscriber delinquency.
New format of Single Telephone Bill.
Decree No. 510 of the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications establishes the minimum contents and other elements of the Single Telephone Bill and sets a period of 120 days, which expires on April 6, 2005, to
apply the provisions established in the mentioned decree.
Technical Standard that classifies complementary services into categories.
Through Exempt Resolution No. 1319, of October 6, 2004 the Undersecretary of Telecommunications (Subtel) established supplementary services categories and assigned numbers to the respective categories of complementary
services to which users can access through the public telephone network.
Public consultation regarding regulatory projects.
In July and August of 2004, Subtel initiated a process of public inquiries with the operators in the telecommunications sector for regulatory proposals for Network Unbundling and IP Telephony, respectively.
The Network Unbundling proposal (that was subjected to a new public inquiry in December), defines the services, their operating conditions and adds new services that modify the conditions already defined in the tariff
decree, defining new obligations which renders additional burdens to companies subject to network unbundling (obligation to invest, new customer rights, discrimination in the obligations according to the technology used, etc.). Additionally, the
obligation of resale is
Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements |

established for mobile companies and the resale conditions are regulated for wholesalers of alternative tariff plans offered by Telefónica CTC Chile. The Company participated in the mentioned public inquiries
making its observations and formulating its legal objections, emphasizing that the majority of the proposals are a matter of law and not a matter of resolution, while other aspects of the regulatory proposal could not even be addressed as a law
since they affect rights that are guaranteed by the Chilean Constitution.
The proposal for IP Telephony defines a special type of telephone service over broadband, which is provided over existing infrastructure and with lower regulatory requirements than traditional telephony (for example:
the multicarrier system for domestic long distance is not applied). This discriminates against traditional local operators, for which different conditions apply in respect to the same service. The company along with other operators presented its
observations and legal objections to the proposal, considering it among others, discriminatory as well as inhibitive of investment in new infrastructure and broadband.
As of June 30, 2005, Subtel has not ruled on the comments and legal objections made by the Company and other companies in the sector, nor has it sent the final wording of those regulations to the Chilean General
Comptroller for legislative review.
Lawsuit against the State of Chile
On October 31, 2001, Telefónica CTC Chile, seeking to correct errors in Tariff Decree No. 187 of 1999, filed a motion for reconsideration with the Ministries requesting corrections to the 1999 Tariff Decree No.
187 . On January 29, 2002, the Ministries issued a joint rejection of this request, explaining that having carefully evaluated, only the feasibility and timeliness of the petition made, considering the set of circumstances in the problem and
the prudence that must orient public actions, and that the rejection has had no other motivation than to protect the general interest and progress of the telecommunications services.
Having exhausted all administrative remedies aimed at correcting the illegal actions taken in the tariff-setting process of May 1999, in March 2002, Telefónica CTC Chile filed a lawsuit for damages against the
Government in the amount of Ch$ 181,038,411,056 plus readjustments and interest, covering past and future damages incurred up to May 2004.
Proceedings are currently underway and expert reports have been presented on various aspects of the case supporting the position held by Telefónica CTC Chile. On March 29, 2005 the Court dictated a resolution
summoning the parties to hear first instance sentencing resolution that ends the discussion and evidence stage. This sentence should be dictated in the following months.
Voissnet makes an accusation before the National Economic Attorney Generals Office (Fiscalía Nacional Económica) and files lawsuit before the Antitrust Commission, both against
Telefónica CTC Chile
On January 20, Telefónica CTC responded to the accusation made by Voissnet filed before the National Economic Attorney Generals Office for alleged events that in its opinion attempt against free
competition, development and growth of Internet technology, fundamentally of broadband telephony, and access to broadband due to establishing the prohibition of carrying voice through the Internet access broadband services provided by
Telefónica CTC.
On March 14, 2005 Telefónica CTC responded to the complaint filed by Voissnet before the
Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements |
21 |
Antitrust Commission (Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia), hereafter TDLC, which is founded on the same facts that Voissnet indicated in the accusation filed before the National Economic Attorney
Generals Office. Voissnets intention is for the TDLC to force Telefónica CTC to allow third parties to provide IP Telephony through the Internet using the ADSL owned by Telefónica.
Telefónica CTC rejected each and every part of the accusations made by the accuser, providing market, legal and regulatory information regarding development of the broadband market in Chile, stating that it has
made considerable investments to develop broadband in Chile and has facilitated the participation of all ISP through an open model, and that it is not opposed to IP telephony, but rather to the anti-competitive practices that companies are
attempting to use, taking advantage of investments made by others.
Telefónica CTC in turn filed a counterplea against Voissnet, in order for the Court to correct, prohibit and suppress the serious attempts against free competition incurred by that company, by providing
telephone services to its subscribers without having the concession required by Law, or complying with the legal, regulatory and technical regulations applicable to telephony that are fulfilled by the public telephone service concessionaries,
applying practices of decreaming (descreme) of customers of telephone concessionaries with a greater amount of traffic and which have the broadband service, and taking advantage of the existing infrastructure owned by the
mentioned companies, without their authorization, and without any retribution or payment whatsoever for the use of the public telephone network and equipment used to provide broadband Internet access.
Subtel submitted the report requested by the TDLC in relation to the complaint presented by Voissnet, without making reference to the counterplea presented by Telefónica CTC, questioning the contractual
restrictions imposed by Telefónica CTC.
Last April 8, Voissnet answered the counterplea filed by Telefónica CTC, requesting that it be rejected in all its parts. Through resolution dated June 1, 2005, the TDLC stated that there are no substantial,
pertinent and disputed events, therefore the cause would not be received for the evidence stage, but a date would be directly set to examine the cause.
Telefónica CTC appealed the resolution of the TDLC as it considers that there are substantial, pertinent and disputed events that both parties must prove in the evidence stage, and which are determinant to the
due resolution of this process and requested that the Commission annul the resolution and instead receive the cause for the evidence stage.
On June 22, 2005, the TDLC dismissed the appeal filed by Telefónica CTC, ratifying that in this cause only the legal aspects and not the factual aspects must be elucidated, summoning the parties to the
allegations of the lawsuit for August 9, 2005.
Telephone Pole Support Tariff Setting
Telefónica CTC together with other telecommunications companies presented discrepancies before the Panel of Experts on Electric Law, regarding the tariffs for services corresponding to pole supports, proposing
an annual tariff for each pole support of approximately 0.02 UF.
Likewise, the distribution companies also presented their discrepancies regarding the pole support tariffs of the National Energy commission to the Panel of Experts, proposing an annual tariff ranging from 0.4 to 0.5
UF for each support.

electric companies.
On July 8, 2005, the Panel of Experts received the allegations of the parties, including those of the telecommunications companies and the distribution companies.

On July 15, 2004 the Shareholders Meeting was held to decide on the sale of the mobile subsidiary of Telefónica CTC Chile, in which the shareholders made a counteroffer that meant that Telefónica
Móviles S.A had to assume payment of the taxes derived from the operation.
On July 23, 2004 the sales contract was signed for all the shares of the subsidiary; with which, Telefónica CTC Chile no longer participates in the mobile business.
Telefónica Móviles S.A. consults the Bellsouth purchase with the Antitrust Commission
Telefónica Móviles S.A., subsidiary of Telefónica S.A. consulted with the Antitrust Commission in respect to the contract denominated Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 5, 2004,
signed with Bellsouth Corporation, through which it acquires all the telephone assets of the latter within Central and South America, among which is its indirect participation in 100% of Bellsouth Chile S.A., current mobile telephone operator in the
Chilean market.
On January 4, 2005 the Antitrust Commission approved the consultation of Telefónica Móviles S.A., subsidiary of Telefónica S.A., setting a series of conditions for the merger. One of these
conditions directly affects Telefónica CTC Chile, establishing that, all joint offers for regular and mobile telephone services, commercialized by the merged company and which consider regular telephone services provided by Telefónica
CTC Chile, will be understood as a joint offer made by Telefónica CTC Chile and therefore must be regulated by Decree No. 742 of the Undersecretary of Telecommunications of Chile, published on February 26, 2004.
On April 5, 2005 Telefónica Móvil S.A, subsidiary of Telefónica S.A. launched Movistar in Chile, grouping under this brand the mobile subsidiary acquired from Telefónica CTC Chile in July
2004 and the operations of Bellsouth acquired with the approval of the Antitrust commission in January 2005.
Liberty Media takes control of United Global Com, Head Office of VTR and request the merger of its operations in Chile.
On January 5, 2004 Liberty Media, owner of 50% of Metrópolis Intercom in association with the Claro Group, announced the takeover of the management of United Global Com, owner of 100% of VTR Chile. After that
operation, Liberty requested that the Antitrust Commission analyze the possibility of merging VTR and Metrópolis Intercom. Both companies concentrate over 90% of the Pay TV market and are relevant competitors for Telefónica CTC Chile
in the broadband market providing cable modem. Likewise, VTR is the second largest operator of local telephone services in the country.
On June 9, 2004 the National Economic Attorney Generals Office issued its report to the Antitrust Commission recommending authorization of the merger subject to compliance with a series of restrictions.
On October 25, 2004, the Antitrust Commission resolved to approve the merger of VTR and Metrópolis Intercom, requiring certain conditions, of distribution of contents, prices and quality of service and opening
of cable network broadband to other ISP. These conditions are applied to ensure development of effective competition in the pay TV market in the short-term.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements |

On March 10, 2005 the Supreme Court of Chile authorized the merger of VTR and Metrópolis, however it considered that the operation could be an obstacle in the effective development of competition in the pay TV
market in the short-term, therefore it subjected the operation to fulfillment of eight conditions, thus ratifying the Antitrust Commissions decision in respect to the restrictions of the merger.
On July 1, VTR began unification of its programming offer for VTR and former Metropolis customers.
Telecom Italia sells its participation in ENTEL S.A.
On January 24, Almendral S.A communicated to the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance the completion of its negotiations with Telecom Italia, for the acquisition of its participation in Entel Chile.
On March 29, 2005, Almendral S.A. and its subsidiary Inversiones Altel Limitada, purchased from Telecom Italia International N.V., 5.86% and 48.9%, respectively, of the shares of ENTEL S.A. The price paid for the
54.76% of the shares is MUS$ 934, with a value of US$ 7.21 per share.
GTD made an offer to purchase Manquehue Net S.A.
On June 17, 2005, the Board of Directors of Manquehue Net S.A. received the purchase offer made by GTD Grupo Teleductos S.A. to the shareholders of Manquehue Net S.A. GTD Grupo Teleductos S.A. will perform a legal,
tax, operating and accounting due diligence in respect to all the assets and liabilities of Manquehue.
Analysis of relative market share
Local Telephone Service.
This market contemplates providing local telephone services inside the primary areas, interconnection with other telecommunications companies and other unregulated local telephone services. Concessions granted by the
Undersecretary of Telecommunications and the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications (SUBTEL) are the entry barriers to this industry.
This market is currently shared by 12 companies with 13 brands, including 4 rural operators. Market penetration in terms of lines in service as of June 2005 is estimated to be 20.9 lines per 100 habitants. As of June
2005 Telefónica CTC Chile has approximately 73% of the fixed line market.
Long Distance.
This market contemplates communications services between primary areas (DLD) and international communications (ILD), also known as intermediate services.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements |
25 |
On March 9, 1994 Law No. 19,302 came into effect. It establishes the application of a multicarrier system for domestic and international long distance. This law allows local telephone operators to participate in the
long distance market through an independent subsidiary subject to a series of requirements.
In this market there are currently 15 companies operating with 18 carrier codes. Traffic in the DLD market, through fixed telephone lines recorded a drop estimated at 11% during the second quarter of 2005 compared to
the second quarter of 2004. In the same period a decrease of 5.2% of market ILD traffic is estimated. Telefónica CTC Chile, through its subsidiaries Telefónica Mundo 188 and Globus 120, reached an estimated 46.6% market share in
domestic long distance and 32.4% in outgoing international long distance in the second quarter of 2005.
Corporate Communications.
This business area provides circuit and data services (Datared, E1, ATM, Frame Relay), IP network solutions, Hosting, ASP and advanced telecommunications solutions for companies with Internet service providers (ISPs).
Likewise includes commercialization of advanced equipment (multiple lines and PABx, among others).
In this business Telefónica CTC Chile competes with 8 companies in the private services arena and in the hosting business with at least 10 companies, reaching a market share of revenues of approximately 47% as
of the third quarter of 2004, including sales of advanced equipment to companies.
Mobile Communications.

one operator that offers digital trunking which is authorized to connect to the public mobile networks.
Telefónica CTC Chile stopped offering mobile telephone services in July 2004. It currently maintains the relationship with this sector through incoming and outgoing local telephone network services. Fixed-mobile
traffic has experienced a growth of 8% from January to June 2005 in respect to the same period the previous year. The upward trend began in the second half of 2004 mainly due to the 27% decrease in access charges to mobile networks and the increase
in mobile telephone subscribers. Mobile-fixed traffic increased by +4% in the same period.
Pay TV.
The pay television market is composed of two main competitors in a merger process (VTR and Metrópolis Intercom) who jointly have over 90% of the Pay TV market with 747,769 connections as of March 2005, two
satellite operators and close to 20 Cable TV operators in specific areas, which altogether do not exceed 4% of the market share.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements |

Internet Access.
In this market there are currently approximately 35 ISPs operating effectively, with three of these concentrating 83% of switchboard traffic. IP traffic (switchboard) accumulated from January to June 2005 in the
network of Telefónica CTC Chile reached the order of 1,749 million minutes, with a 31% drop with respect to the same period in 2004, mainly due to migration of users to broadband.
Telefónica CTC Chile continues with an intensive deployment of Internet access through ADSL broadband, directly to the customer and through a wholesale model in the ISP industry. As of June 2005,
Telefónica CTC Chile broadband connections in service reached 247,551 with a growth of 51% in respect to June 2004, achieving an estimated broadband market share of 42% (Considering speeds equal to or exceeding 128 kbps).

10. ANALYSIS OF MARKET RISK
Financial Risk Coverage
With the attractive interest rates in certain periods, the Company has obtained financing abroad, denominated primarily in dollars and in certain cases, at a variable interest rate. For this reason the Company is
exposed to two types of financial risks, the risk of exchange rate fluctuations and the risk of interest rate fluctuations.
Financial risk due to foreign currency fluctuations
The Company has exchange rate hedging instruments, the purpose of reducing the negative impact of the dollar, on its 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 dollar/UF and dollar/peso exchange instruments.
As of June 30, 2005, the financial debt in currency of origin expressed in dollars was US$ 937 million, including US$731 million in financial liabilities in US dollars, US$131 million in debt denominated in

|

|
|
20,701,997
|
|
Simultaneously, the Company had dollar/UF, dollar/peso exchange insurance and assets in dollars that resulted, (at the end of the first half of 2005) in average exposure of the financial debt in foreign currency of
close to 0%.
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 increases in interest rate.
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had debts at variable interest rates, Libor and TAB mainly for syndicated loans.
To protect the Company from increases in the variable (floating) interest rates, derivative financial instruments have been used, particularly Cross Currency Swap (which protect
the Libor rate), to limit the future fluctuations of interest rates. As of June 30, 2005 this has allowed the Company to end up with an exposure of 30% of total interest bearing debt in original
currency.
