Report of Independent Auditors
(Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish--See Note 2 (b))

To the President of the Board, 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 June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the six-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 Management’s 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 June 30, 2007 and 2006, we are not aware of any material modifications that are required for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

Andrés Marchant V.  ERNST & YOUNG LTDA.

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 period 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).

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 8.29% .

The estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:

Assets    Range of years 
   
Buildings    40 
Central telephone equipment    7 to 12 
Subscriber equipment   
External networks    20 to 40 
Office furniture and equipment   4 to 10 
Software   
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.

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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

(ñ) Investments in related companies:

These investments are accounted for under the equity method, which recognizes the investor’s 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.

(o) 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 periods have been determined taking into consideration aspects such as the nature and characteristics of the business and the estimated period of return on the investment (Note 12).

(p) 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).

(q) Bonds and promissory notes payable:

•Bonds payable are recorded under liabilities at the par value of the issued bonds (note 17b). 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).

•Promissory notes are recorded under liabilities at placement value plus accrued interest (Note 17a).

Costs directly related to the placement of these obligations are deferred and amortized over the term of the respective liability (notes 8 and 14).

(r) 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.

(s) Staff severance indemnities:

For employees who qualify for this benefit, the Company’s staff severance indemnities obligation is provided for by applying the present value method to the projected benefit obligation using an annual discount rate of 6%, taking into consideration assumptions concerning the future service period of the employees, mortality rate of employees and salary increases used as the basis of actuarial calculations.

Costs for past services of employees resulting from changes in assumptions used as the actuarial bases, are deferred and amortized over average of the employees’ future service periods (Note 8 and 14).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

(t) Revenue recognition:

The Company’s 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 period. These amounts are recorded under Trade Accounts Receivable.

(u) Foreign currency forwards:

The Company has entered into short-term forward contracts to purchase foreign currency. These contracts are hedging liabilities in foreign currency against changes in exchange rates.

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.

(v) 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 (Note 27).

(w) 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.

(x) Cumulative translation adjustment:

The Company recognizes in this equity reserve account, the difference between the exchange rate variation and the consumer price index (C.P.I.) originating from the restatement of its investment abroad and its goodwill, which is controlled in United States dollars. The balance of this account is recognized as income in the same period in which the net income or loss is recognized on the total or partial disposal of these investments.

(y) 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 Company’s operations and all those not defined as resulting from investing or financing activities are included under “Cash Flows from Operating Activities”.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(z) Correspondents:

The Company has agreements with foreign counterparties to set the conditions that regulate international traffic., determining the payments for each counterparty based on fixed rates for the net exchange of traffic.

The receivables/payables related to these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis, recognizing the costs and income for the period in which these are incurred, recording the net receivable and payable for each counterparty where the legal right to offset exists under “Accounts Receivable” or “Accounts Payable,” as applicable.

3. Accounting Changes:

During the periods covered in these interim consolidated financial statements, the accounting principles have been consistently applied.

This amount corresponds to the cost (net of amortizations) of the mandatory reserve paid to the Chilean Central Bank and 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, whichincludes 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) Lawsuits against the Government:

i) On October 31, 2001,Telefónica Chile filed an administrative motion 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 attempted administrative recourse determining that it had “carefully evaluated the viability and timeliness of the petition made, taking into consideration the set of concurring circumstances set forth in the motion together with the prudence that must orient public actions,” adding that the rejection “had no other motivation apart from protecting the general interest and progress of the telecommunications services”.

After administrative attempts to correct the errors and illegalities involved in the tariff setting process of 1999 came to the end discussed above, in March 2002, Telefónica Chile filed a lawsuit against the State of Chile, claiming damages of ThCh$ 181,038,411, plus readjustments and interest, which covers past and future damages through May 2004. The lawsuit is currently awaiting judgment.

ii) Telefónica Chile and Telefónica Larga Distancia filed an indemnity lawsuit against the Government of Chile, claiming damages stemming from the modifications to telecommunications networks as a result of related to work performed on highways by concessionaires from 1996 to 2000.

The Government forced both companies to pay for the transfer of their communications networks due to the construction of public works by concession under the Concessions Law, and the related damages amount to:

a.- Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.: ThCh$1,929,207
b.- Telefónica Larga Distancia S.A.: ThCh$ 2,865,209

The process is currently in the final judgement stage.

b) Lawsuits:

(i) Voissnet Accusation:

On January 20, 2006, Telefónica Chile responded to the claim made by Voissnet filed before the National Economic Attorney General’s Office for alleged events which, in Voissnet´s opinion, threatened free competition, development and growth of Internet technology, especially broadband telephony and access to broadband, which prohibitcarrying voice using the Internet broadband access provided by Telefónica Chile. Voissnet has requested that the Antitrust Commission force Telefónica Chile to allow third parties to provide IP Telephony through the ADSL Internet owned by Telefónica Chile.

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 General’s Office, and fined Telefónica Chile 1,500 Annual Tax Units.

On November 8, 2006, Telefónica Chile S.A. filed an appeal before the Supreme Court requesting the sentence be revoked and exonerating the Company from any sanction. The appeal was accepted for processing and the Supreme Court has not yet set a date to hear the allegations of the parties.

(ii) Complaint filed by VTR Telefónica S.A.:

On June 30, 2000, VTR Telefónica S.A. filed a plenary suit requesting payment of Ch$2,204 million plus sums accrued during the suit to cover access charges for the use of its networks. VTR bases its complaint on the differences that occurred as a result of the reduction of access charge tariffs after Tariff Decree No. 187 came into effect. Telefónica Chile responded to the complaint by arguing that the tariffs for access charges that both parties must pay for the reciprocal use of their networks are regulated under a contract signed with VTR. VTR, however, does not recognize the validity of this contract. VTR’s complaint has been accepted and the requested compensation has been ordered. The Company filed an appeal for annulment which is currently pending before the Court of Appeals of Santiago.

In connection with the above proceeding, two additional judicial proceedings are underway The first was filed by VTR before Subtel in 2002 for alleged non-payment of invoices for access charges set by D.S. 26. VTR has requested that Telefónica Chile be forced to pay such invoices and pay the fines imposed by the General Telecommunications Laws. That case has been suspended by order of the Minister until a judgment is issued in the judicial proceeding filed by VTR in 2000. The second proceeding underway was filed by Telefónica Chile on June 6, 2003, for VTR’s non-payment of access charges in accordance with the contract signed between the parties. That case has been suspended until a judgment is provided in the first of the aforementioned lawsuits.

In turn, on December 21, 2005, Telefónica Chile sued VTR for non-payment of automatic reversal of charges service (800 service), in the amount of Ch$1,500 million, plus sums accrued during the course of the trial. Based on the same argument, VTR filed a countersuit in the amount of Ch$1,200 million. The judicial process is currently in the first phase.

(iii) Manquehue Net

On June 24, 2003, Telefónica Chile filed a lawsuit against Manquehue Net, to be heard by the mixed arbitrator Mr. Victor Vial del Río, requesting economic compensation for breach of contract in the amount of ThCh$3,647,689, in addition to the sums accrued during the proceeding. and requesting that Manquehue Net be forced to comply with the terms of the contract. Likewise, and on the same date, Manquehue Net filed a complaint regarding compliance with discounts (in the amount of UF 107,000), in addition to an obligation to perform complaint (signing of 700 service contract). On June 5, 2004, following the evidence presentation stage, the arbitrator summoned the parties to hear sentencing.

On April 11, 2005, the Court issued the sentence for the first phase, in which it accepted the complaint filed by Telefónica Chile, condemning Manquehue Net to pay approximately Ch$ 452 million, and at the same time the Court accepted the complaint filed by Manquehue Net, condemning Telefónica Chile to pay UF 47,600.

Telefónica Chile filed an appeal for annulment, which is currently pending before the Court of Appeals of Santiago.

28. Contingencies and restrictions, continued:

(iv) Chilectra and CGE:

In June 2006, Telefónica Chile filed complaints against Chilectra S.A. and Río Maipo (currently CGE Distribución), in which it requests a readjusted refund of the Reimbursable Financial Contributions (AFR) (“Aportes Financieros Reembolsables”) made by the Company between 1992 and 1998, in relation to the Electrical Law. The restitution amounts claimed are ThCh$899,658 and ThCh$117,350, respectively. The parties have recently been noticed and the lawsuit is proceeding through the initial stages.

(v) Protection Motion:

On June 28, 2006 television channels UCTV and TVN filed a petition for protection against Telefónica Chile requesting suspension of the inclusion of such signals in the Digital Television Plan. On June 30th, the Court of Appeals declared the petition inadmissible. The decision was confirmed on July 4, 2006, when the motion for reversal was rejected.

The complaint filed before the Supreme Court by the television channels was declared inadmissible on July 13, 2006.

(vi) Labor lawsuits:

In the course of normal operations, labor lawsuits have been filed against the Company.

To date, there are labor proceedings, among others, involving former employees, who claim wrongful dismissal. These employees did not sign termination releases or receive staff severance indemnities. On various past occasions, the Supreme Court has reviewed the judgments 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, and who, in spite of having chosen voluntary retirement plans or having been terminated due to company needs, intend to have the terminations voided. To date, two of these lawsuits have resulted in favorable judgments for the Company, rejecting the annulments.

Certain unions have filed complaints before the Santiago Labor Courts, requesting damage payments for various reasons.

Management and their internal and external legal counsel periodically monitor the evolution of the lawsuits and contingencies affecting the Company in the normal course of its operations, analyzing in each case the possible effect on the financial statements. Based on this analysis and on the information available to date, Management and their legal counsel believe that it is unlikely that the Company’s income and equity will be significantly affected by a loss contingency representing significant liabilities in excess of 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. 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 June 30, 2007, the Company complies with all financial restrictions.

31. Sanctions:

Neither the Company nor its Directors and Managers have been sanctioned by the SVS or any other administrative authority during 2007 and 2006.

32. Subsequent events:

On July 4, 2007, the Supreme Court issued a sentence on the appeal filed by the Company against the decision of the Antitrust Commission in the lawsuit filed by Voissnet. The first sentence applied a fine in the amount of 1,500 UTA (“Unidades Tributarias Anuales”), which was reduced by the Supreme Court to 556 UTA, of which 150 UTA had been previously consigned.

Management is unaware of any other significant subsequent events that have occurred between July 1 and 23, 2007, that may affect the Company’s financial position or the interpretation of these consolidated financial statements.

33. Environment:

In the opinion of Management and the Company’s in-house legal counsel, because the nature of the Company’s operations do not directly or indirectly affect the environment, as of the closing date of these consolidated financial statements, no resources have been set aside nor have any payments been made for non-compliance with municipal ordinances or to other supervising organizations.

3. ANALYSIS OF INCOME FOR THE PERIOD

3.1 OPERATING INCOME

As of June 30, 2007, operating income amounted to Ch$25,226 million, which represents a 35.2% decrease with respect to the previous year.

Operating Revenue

For the first half of 2007, the Company recorded operating income of Ch$294,248 million, with 0.4% growth in comparison to the Ch$293,136 million recorded for the same period in 2006.

The Company’s strategy of focusing on new businesses has allowed us to strengthen our Broadband and Television growth, which together with Flexible Plans, has neutralized the loss of income from Traditional Business, Long Distance and Corporate Communications.

Revenues from Local Telephony Services: Revenues from local telephony services increased 1.43% in comparison to the previous year, mainly due to:

Basic Telephony Service, which decreased 12.3% with respect to the previous period, as a result of the following:

Fixed monthly charge, corresponding to the fixed monthly charge for connection to the network, which decreased by 43.6%, mainly due to the migration of customers to flexible plans.
Variable charge, which decreased by 37.0%, due to the downturn in traffic per line and the migration of customers to flexible plans.
Connections and other installations, which increased by 32.6% with respect to the previous year.
Flexible plans, which grew 16% in terms of connections and 48.9% in terms of revenues, due to migration from traditional telephony services and the capture of new customers. Revenues from flexible plans for the first half of 2007 were Ch$ 19,480 million higher than the first half of 2006.
Value-added services, which decreased by 18.5% with respect to the previous year, mainly due to the drop in average lines in service.

Broadband services show sustained growth, reaching revenues of Ch$45,450 million in the period from January to June 2007, a 49.6% increase over the same period of the previous year, when revenues from these services amounted to Ch$30,338 million.

Television: one year after the commercial launch of Pay TV services, TV revenues account for 3.4% of operating income, with Ch$10,090 million for the period from January to June 2007, whereas in the same period the previous year, revenues from these services amounted to Ch$ 27 million.

Access charges and interconnections decreased by 2.3%, mainly due to a 16.7% drop in revenues from domestic long distance access charges, which was partially offset by a 0.3% increase in international long distance revenues. In addition, revenues from other interconnection services – in particular media rental services, information services, unbundling services and fixed-fixed access charges – increased by 0.8.


12

Other fixed telephony services decreased by 14.1%, or Ch$4,234 million, which is explained by the following: (i) a Ch$743 million drop in revenues from commercialization of equipment; (ii) a Ch$1,829 million drop in revenues from interior installations and equipment rental, due to lower average lines in service; (iii) a Ch$441 million drop in revenues from telephone book advertising; (iv) a Ch$388 million drop in home security services; (v) a Ch$655 million drop in revenues from public telephones; and (vi) a Ch$178 million drop in revenues from dial-up and dedicated ISP connections.

Long Distance: Long distance revenues decreased by 4.3% in comparison to 2006, due to a 6.1% decrease in DLD revenues and a 27.7% decrease in network capacity and circuit rental revenues. These decreases were partially offset by a 12.1% increase in ILD revenues.

Corporate Communications: Revenues from the corporate communications business fell 1.6% with respect to the same period the year before, mainly due to a 7.5% drop in revenues from complementary services, together with a 3.6% drop in revenues from terminal equipment and a 4.1% drop in revenues from circuits and others. These decreases were partly offset by a 4.8% increase in revenues from data services.

Other Businesses: Revenues from other businesses declined 20.2%, mainly due to the decrease in revenues from t-gestiona and Fundación.

Operating Costs

Operating costs for the period amounted to Ch$ 269,022 million, increasing by 5.8% in comparison to the same period in 2006, when they amounted to Ch$ 254,229 million. This is mainly explained by costs generated by the new business model of Internet access with the ISP Terra, for ADSL customers, and by the purchase of content for the television business, as well as a 5.3% increase in salary expenses, explained by the Company’s application of the new Subcontracting Law, which requires certain independent contractors to be hired as internal employees. These effects were partially offset by a 2.6% drop in the depreciation cost.

3.2 NON-OPERATING INCOME

Non-operating income obtained in the period ended June 30, 2007 amounted to a loss of Ch$5,841 million, compared to a loss of Ch$18,478 million the previous year. The 68.4% decrease in the non-operating loss is explained by:

Financial income increased 73.4%, mainly because in the 2007 period greater volumes of funds were temporarily allocated to financial investments.

Other non-operating income amounted to Ch$ 2,865 million, exceeding the Ch$ 832 million recorded in 2006. This is mainly due to higher income obtained on the sale of recovered material.

Financial expenses decreased by 22.7% in 2007, associated mainly to lower financial debt and an improved international risk rating from BAA2 to BAA1.

Amortization of goodwill decreased by Ch$ 784 million with respect to 2006, mainly explained by full amortization of goodwill in Tecnonautica during the first quarter of 2006, due to the restructuring of the Telefónica Chile Group.


13

Other non-operating expenses amounted to Ch$ 4,492 million, Ch$ 7,656 million less than in 2006. This is mainly due to the cost of personnel restructuring carried out in 2006.

Price-level restatement in 2007 shows a net gain of Ch$ 318 million, mainly due to the variations experienced by the CPI, Unidad de Fomento and exchange rate. It should be noted that the Company maintains hedges to cover 100% of exchange rate fluctuations and 84% of interest rate fluctuations.

3.3 NET INCOME FOR THE PERIOD

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to Ch$4,843 million, compared to Ch$7,246 million for the same period in 2006. The lower income obtained in the 2007 period is derived from a 68.4% decrease in non-operating loss, which effect is offset by the 5.8% increase in operating costs and the increased level of income taxes.

3.4 RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA

1. Local Telephony Business: The local telephony business recorded net losses of Ch$ 6,632 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, lower than the Ch$ 6,676 million loss recorded in the 2006 period. This is due to a lower non-operating loss as the result of restructuring costs incurred and recorded in the first quarter of 2006. This effect was offset by lower operating income, which was generated by a decrease in operating revenues added to an increase in operating costs.

2. Corporate Communications Business: This business contributed net income of Ch$ 3,137 million in the period, a 52.0% decrease in relation to the Ch$6,529 million recorded in 2006. The main explanation of the difference was lower operating income, due to the increase in depreciation cost, which was offset by the decrease in the cost of goods and services and by the increase in non-operating income.

3. Long Distance Business: The long distance business recorded net income of Ch$ 9,618 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, higher than the Ch$7,475 million recorded in 2006.This variation is produced mainly by improved operating income, complemented by an increase in non-operating income, which amounted to Ch$ 430 million for the first six months of 2007.

4. Other Businesses: Other businesses mainly include the services of Telefónica Multimedia, Instituto Telefónica, t-gestiona and Fundación. This group of businesses generated a net loss of Ch$ 1,256 million, whereas in the same period the previous year a net loss of Ch$ 33 million was recorded. This difference is due to lower income obtained by Fundación and Instituto Telefónica Chile (formerly Telepeajes).

The negative net variation of cash and cash equivalents of Ch$13,952 million for the period from January to June 2007, compared to the negative net variation of Ch$ 66,187 million in 2006, is because during 2007 less cash flows were allocated to financing activities, as no obligations with the public were paid during 2007. In addition, lower cash flows were obtained from operating activities and greater cash flows were allocated to investing activities due to an increase in long-term investments.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

16

The key points from the table above are the following:

The current ratio increase is the result of a 3.8% drop in current assets and an 12.0% drop in current liabilities. The change in current liabilities is explained by a decrease in financial debt in comparison to June of the previous year.

The debt ratio shows a slight increase which is explained by a 3.7% decrease in demand liabilities, whereas shareholders’ equity decreased by 5.8%, mainly due to capital reductions carried out in 2006 and 2007 in order to distribute cash surpluses to shareholders.

6. EXPLANATION OF THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARKET OR ECONOMIC VALUE AND THE BOOK VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S 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 Company’s 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

Relevant Aspects of the Industry

Development of broadband and pay television, growth in the mobile sector, convergence of services and development of wireless solutions continued during the first half of 2007.

The consolidation of broadband throughout the country continues with ADSL technology and coaxial cable, reaching over 1,150,000 accesses in June 2007, growth of 28% in comparison to June 2006.

In pay television, the strong growth of the market stands out, with an inter-annual variation of 24% as of June 2007, mainly due to the success of Telefonica Chile’s satellite offer.

The mobile sector has begun a trend of substantial increases in voice traffic, at both the aggregate and user levels, due to the migration to technological networks with greater network capacities. The operator Claro announced that it finished implementing its new GSM network (with 95% national coverage), Entel began building its 3.5G network, and Movistar is accelerating its migration to the GSM network.

In service convergence there has been a consolidation of competition among fixed infrastructure operators with their own services or in alliances with third parties. In this manner almost all fixed operators already have bundled service offers (voice, broadband and TV).

In the wireless solutions area, the main operators have publicly announced their wireless broadband technology prospects. Telmex commercially launched the Wimax service, while VTR declared its intention to extend its coverage for bidirectional services in 2007, also using Wimax technology. Telsur announced recent successes in the installation of its wireless services.

Synthesis of Market Evolution

It is estimated that there were approximately 3.3 million lines in service in the Chilean market as of June 2007, a 1.9% decrease in comparison to June 2006. Within fixed voice services, there were decreases of 6.5% in local, 12.4% in DLD and 14.3% in ILD with respect to the previous year.

It is estimated that the mobile telephony market had a total of 14 million subscribers as of June 2007, which represents growth of 16% with respect to June 2006.

The Internet market maintains the migration from narrowband to broadband, with a 61% decrease in narrowband connections. Accumulated narrowband traffic from January to June 2007 reached approximately 570 million minutes with a 52% drop in comparison to the same period in 2006. The Broadband market increased by 28% in comparison to the same period in 2006, reaching 1,152,000 accesses.

In Pay TV, Telefónica Chile offers the DTH (direct to home) satellite television service. During the first half of 2007 the service grew by 82% in terms of connections, achieving 15% market share as of June 2007 (+6 p.p. in comparison to December 2006). Likewise, on June 14, 2007, Telefónica Chile launched its IPTV services (interactive TV services provided over the broadband network), which are still in a commercial test phase.

8. ANALYSIS OF MARKET RISK Financial Risk Coverage

Due to the attractive foreign interest rates in certain periods, the Company has obtained financing abroad, denominated mainly in dollars and in certain cases at a floating interest rate. Consequently, the Company faces 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 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 June 30, 2007, the interest-bearing debt expressed in dollars was US$ 754 million, including US$ 500 million in dollar–denominated financial liabilities and US$ 254 million of debt expressed in UF. Consequently, US$ 500 million corresponds to debt directly exposed to the variations of the dollar.

During the period, the Company had Cross Currency Swaps, dollar/peso exchange insurance and assets in dollars that resulted, as of the end of the second quarter of 2007, in close to 0% exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.

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 June 30, 2007, the Company had debt at the variable interest rates Libor and TAB, mainly for bank loans.

To protect the Company from increases in the floating interest rates, derivative financial instruments have been used, particularly Cross Currency Swaps (which cover the Libor rate), to limit the future fluctuation of interest rates. As of June 30, 2007, the use of these swaps has allowed the Company to limit its exposure to 16% of the total interest-bearing debt in Chilean pesos.

Modifications of the Regulatory Structure

Commission of telecommunications experts

On May 17, 2006, the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications formed a commission of experts in order to prevent the regulation and the regulator from becoming obsolete. The first stage of the work involved proposing the terms of reference of the telecommunications market review. The second stage involves proposing the regulation in accordance with industry requirements, generating greater competition, eliminating entry barriers, and identifying consumer rights and guarantees.

The commission of experts issued the “Strategic Review of Telecommunications Regulation – Term of Reference” document ( “Revisión Estratégica de la Regulación de las Telecomunicaciones - Termino de Referencia”), which was published on October 11, 2006 and contains the terms of reference for the future review of the telecommunications sector. The document identifies the following as basic policy aspects: promotion of competition, regulation of access rates and charges, management of the radio-electric spectrum, equal access to basic telecommunications services, quality of service and regulatory institution.

Public inquiry on “Removal of Obstacles for the Development of Telecommunications in the Short-term”

On May 18, 2006, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications carried out a public inquiry in order to identify the barriers and obstacles detected in the technical and regulatory standards that do not allow efficient market development in terms of competition, investment incentives and protection of the interests of customers and users of telecommunications services. This public inquiry seeks to proceed, in the short term, with the repeal, modification, formal interpretation or incorporation of any obsolete, ambiguous or missing standard in order to achieve a more equitable, competitive sector that protects society.

On October 13, 2006, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications published a Document of Response to the 350 contributions received from Telefónica Chile, Movistar and other companies in the sector. The document indicates the commitments and actions that Subtel acquires in respect to 36 issues to be addressed during 2006 and 10 issues to be addressed in 2007.

Telefónica Chile has actively participated in the analysis of and proposed modifications to the regulations and technical standards.

Public inquiry of “Bill Modifying Law No. 18168 (The General Telecommunications Act) in order to Create a Panel of Experts to Resolve Disputes Arising in the Telecommunications Sector”

On September 6, 2006, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications carried out a formal inquiry on a bill aimed at creating a Panel of Experts, made up of seven professionals, to resolve disputes in the telecommunications sector. The document proposes, among other things, a list of matters to be resolved by the Panel, the panel’s powers and duties, its composition (five engineers and two lawyers named by the Antitrust Commission), and the areas where it lacks jurisdiction. The costs of the panel will be borne by the concession holders on a prorated basis, which may take into account the value of their assets and/or the estimated number of disputes affecting them, as well as the nature and


21

complexity of these disputes.

Telefónica Chile submitted its proposal and comments in due time, along with Movistar, Telmex, Telefónica del Sur y Telcoy, GTD, VTR, Entel, SOFOFA, Colegio de Ingenieros, and Instituto Libertad y Desarrollo.

The Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, through the Undersecretary of Telecommunications, is preparing an amended draft of the General Telecommunications Act.

Public inquiry: “Bill modifying the concession regime”.

The Undersecretary of Telecommunications carried out a public inquiry for the purpose of establishing a new market access regime. The new regime would forego the granting of a concession or permit to allow the supply of telecommunications networks and services, instead requiring operators to notify the authority upon commencement of activities and to subsequently register as either a network operator or a telecommunications services operator.

The main proposals indicated in the bill are, among others, those referring to:

- Modifying classification of services, creating the distinction between network operators and services operators.

- Only registration will be required in order to operate, rather than a concession, unless spectrum is required, in which case a concession for the use of spectrum will be granted. The current concessionaries will have to replace their current statutes with the new regime in a short period of time.

- The separation between local and long distance would be eliminated, as would the multicarrier for DLD. Only the ILD multicarrier would be maintained.

- Broadband is classified as a “telecommunications service” which enables a series of regulations to be applied.

- Modifies the freedom to freely define the service zone by establishing that the service zones originally registered in the registry cannot be decreased. Telefónica Chile would be required to provide service throughout the entire territory, except for parts of the X Region.

- Service can neither be withdrawn nor denied to subscribers within the service zones that the concessionaries currently have. There will be sanctions involving fines ranging from 1,000 to 20,000 UTM (approximately between Ch$33 and Ch$650 million)

- The period of time to handle requests for service is reduced from 2 years to 6 months.

Telefónica Chile is analyzing the bill to send its comments and proposals. The deadline for presentation of observations and comments is July 14, 2007.

Public inquiry on bill creating the Superintendency of Telecommunications.

The public inquiry is directed to all companies participating in the telecommunications sector, network infrastructure operators, service suppliers and equipment manufacturers, academic organizations, public institutions, users and various economic and social actors with commercial or employment interests in the sector.

The bill refers, among other aspects, to the transfer of duties that currently are entrusted to the Undersecretary of Telecommunications to the new organization, in reference to: supervising and controlling compliance with the legal and regulatory framework, defending users, formulating charges

and applying sanctions, informing concessions and granting telecommunications permits.

Telefónica Chile sent its observations and comments during the established comment period.

The Undersecretary of Telecommunications analyzed the observations and proposals of the companies and other entities that presented their observations, announcing that in September it would send the bill to Congress.

Public inquiry “Regulation of Voice Over IP services”.

On December 19, 2006, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications carried out a public inquiry regarding the regulatory project that defines the requirements for any party interested in VOIP services.

Telefónica Chile S.A. submitted its comments and observations during the established comment period. To date, Subtel has not issued the regulation.

Public hearings on Digital Terrestrial Television standard

On November 17, 2006, Telefónica Chile S.A. participated in the public hearings on the introduction of Digital Terrestrial Television in Chile. The Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications began the first program of public hearings with the participation of the President of the National Television Council, representatives of the media organization FUCATEL and of VTR Banda Ancha S.A.

On November 24, the second public hearing was held and on December 15 and 19 the third and fourth.

The Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications announced that the determination of the technical standard on Digital Terrestrial Television would be delayed.

Bill modifying the free competition law.

On June 6, 2006, the Government announced the legal initiative that seeks to modify the free competition law to avoid the risks implied in market concentration. The bill establishes preventive actions to be taken and an increase in the amount of the maximum fine that can be imposed by the Antitrust Commission from 20,000 to 30,000 UTA (US $22 million).

Ruling of the Antitrust Commission on Voissnet complaint.

On July 4, 2007, the Supreme Court issued its ruling on the complaint filed by Telefónica Chile S.A. against the ruling of the Antitrust Commission. The Antitrust Commission had ruled in favor of Voissnet S.A. and the National Economic Attorney General’s Office (“Fiscalía Nacional Económica”).

The Supreme Court’s sentence reduced the fine imposed by the Antitrust Commission from 1,500 to 556 UTAs (“Unidades Tributarias Anuales” or annual tax units); eliminated clauses 72 to 81 of the ruling of the Antitrust Commission, which allowed Voissnet to act without a concession, and left in full force the clauses that declare that broadband is an unregulated service that does not require a concession.
