Vivo achieved the goal imposed by Anatel. Vivo is monthly evaluated by Anatel for some indexes and in August, 90.7% of them were achieved. One of them is SMP 5, which refers to the operators' rate of completion of calls. The goal required by Anatel is that such rate must exceed 67% in three pre-established periods of two hours each – morning, afternoon and evening, on a Thursday selected in the month by Anatel. Achieving this goal in the 3 periods has been a hard task for any Mobile Personal System (SMP) operator. On August 04, the 14 Vivo operators reached such goal. These indexes published by ANATEL will improve even more our positions in the quality ranking among all cellular phone service providers.

Throughout September and October, about 170 processes of all VIVO companies were audited by internal quality auditors. The purpose thereof is to assist the different businesses in the independent auditing procedures, so that VIVO may be able to keep its ISO-9001:2000 Certification and SMP (based on the method of data collection, calculation and consolidation for publication of Anatel's SPM indexes).

On September 30, 2005, TSD had 53 own sales points, in addition to an efficient network of accredited dealers, whether exclusive or not, totaling about 884 sales points, which are able to market services and cellular phones, thus making the Company also a leader in number of distribution channels.

VIVO launched the Corporate 3G, in the cities of São Paulo , Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba , with the purpose of increase the options already made available by it to corporate clients. An example of such service is the Vivo Smart Mail, which allows personal information to be accessed, at real time, from a PDA. With this service, users will be able to access corporate e-mails, calendars, tasks and contact information whenever they are within the CDMA coverage area, now added by the third-generation technology – 3G.

The partial Bill & Keep (B&K) system was implemented in July 2003, under which payment for use of local network among SMP operators is not made unless traffic rate among them exceeds 55%, which causes an impact on interconnection revenue and cost.

The 2005 and 2004 accumulated numbers correspond to the values registered in the nine months period ending on September 30 of each year.

Some information disclosed for 3Q04, 2Q05 and accumulated 2004 were re-classified, as applicable, for comparison purposes. Figures disclosed are subject to differences, due to rounding-up procedures.

•  SAC decreased by 24.6% and 15.7% in relation to 2Q05 and 3Q04, respectively, due to a reduction in the commercial activity in the quarter and the total subsidy caused by an increase in "entry barriers" during the period in the prepaid segment, although keeping the efforts for customer retention.

•  Churn at 2.8% recorded 0.4 p.p. increase in relation to 3Q04, even though operating in a strongly competitive area, including in the high-value market segment.

•  The blended ARPU of R$ 31.2 recorded a 2.3% increase in relation to 2Q05, as a result, among other factors, of the increase in the postpaid outbound ARPU and changes in the customer mix (postpaid customer base grew 2.7%, answering for 31% of the customer base).

•  Total MOU decreased by 3.3% in relation to 2Q05, reflecting the decrease in the outgoing MOU. It must be reminded that the pre-paid MOU is impacted by the reduction in the inbound fixed-mobile traffic.

Net Services Revenue

The net services revenue grew 6.9% in relation to 3Q04, recording R$ 434.6 million. Such growth is mostly caused by the increased use of data services, however partially offset by the profile adequacy effects, such as Vivo Ideal and customer loyalty campaigns.

It must be highlighted that "subscription and usage revenue" recorded an 18.3% increase over 3Q04, due to the increase in the total outgoing traffic. In the service revenue, this increase was partially offset by a reduction in the inbound traffic revenue, as a result of the transition from fixed-mobile traffic to mobile-mobile traffic (with consequent drop in interconnection revenue) and the partial Bill & Keep effect.

Data revenues, classified in other services, increased by 150.9%, in the year-to-year comparison, reaching 5.2% of the net service revenues in 3Q05 (2.2% in 3Q04). This increase has continued to occur due to a more widespread access and use of such services, in addition to the several services launched on the market and the increase in the customer base, notably in the expansion of the 1xRTT network in Rio de Janeiro . In 3Q05, the SMS accounted for 55.3% of data revenues. Average number of SMS messages sent per month in the quarter was some 20 million, exceeding by more than 80.2% the total recorded for the same period of last year.

The reduction in personnel cost in year-to-date total for 2005 in relation to the same period of 2004 is a consequence, mainly, of the adequacy in the headcount, which is partially offset by salary increases arising out of the collective bargaining agreement. The 7.8% negative variation between 3Q05 and 2Q05 is a result, specially, of headcount adequacy.

The 7.2% increase in the cost of services rendered in relation to 3Q04 is a result of the increase in the Fistel fee due to the increase in the average customer base by 16.5%, and also by rentals/insurances and condominium fees, especially for the network and electric power maintenance. When compared to 2Q05, the reduction of 3.2% is a result of the reduction in interconnection, reminding that 2Q05 is negatively affected by an extraordinary effect that impacts the entry "others" in Selling Expenses.

Cost of goods sold decreased by 38.3% and 22.8% in relation to 2Q05 and 3Q04, respectively, due to the decreased number of activated handsets (gross additions decreased by 35.7% in 3Q05 over 3Q04), with the purpose of adding high-value customers in the postpaid market segment of average and high income.

In 3Q05, selling expenses recorded a 24.6% increase over 3Q04, caused by an increase in expenses with third-party services, especially publicity and commissions, due to increased activity between the periods.

The provision for bad debtors in the period was 2.3% of the gross revenue, 0.9 percentile point over the total recorded for the same period of the previous year (1.4%), reflecting the growth in the customer base.

General & Administrative Expenses

The general & administrative expenses presented an increase of 41.3% and 14.5% in relation to 2Q05 and 3Q04 respectively, due to the increase in expenses with maintenance of systems and public services.

In the first nine months of the year, the EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was R$ 375.7 million, with a 25.0% margin.

Considering the competition recorded in 3Q05, the EBITDA recorded R$ 133.1 million, with a 26.2% margin , 8.9 percentile points over the previous quarter.

Depreciation and Amortization

In 3Q05, depreciation and amortization decreased by 4.8% over 3Q04, due to the end of the equipment depreciation period. When compared to 2Q05, the 2.4% growth is a result of the activation of assets due to the conclusion of works.

The net financial result in 3Q05 improved by R$ 8.8 million when compared to 2Q05, specially due to the increase in the interest rate in the period (4.56% in 2Q05 and 4.74% in 3Q05), which had a positive impact, with increase in the net cash position of the quarter and receipt in 3Q05 of non-recurring revenues of interests on tax credits.

The above mentioned factors caused an increase of R$ 9.9 million in the net financial revenue in 3Q05 in relation to 3Q04.

The company recorded a net profit of R$ 33.1 million in the quarter, 57.6% up in relation to the same period of last year.

On September 30, 2005, TSD's debts related to loans and financings amounted to R$ 15.6 million (R$ 40.8 million on June 30, 2005), 100% of which is nominated in US Dollar. The Company has signed exchange rate hedging contracts thus protecting 100% of its financial debt against foreign exchange volatility, so that the final cost (debt and swap) is Reais-referenced. This debt was offset by cash and financial investments (R$ 372.9 million) and by derivative assets and liabilities (R$ 10.7 million payable) resulting in a net cash position of R$ 346.6 million, a 27.4% increase in relation to June 2005 .

A better operating cash generation in the period, allied to an increase in the actual CDI in 3Q05 (4.74%) in relation to 2Q05 (4.56%) earned from its financial investments allowed an increase in the net cash position.

Capex effected in the quarter of R$ 56.9 million is basically due to the following factors: (i) information systems, especially the customer care ; and (ii) continued quality and expansion of the coverage provided by the company in order to meet the growth of the customer base .

The positive operating cash flow increased 138.1% and 132.3% in relation to 2Q05 and 3Q04, respectively. These increase evidences that TSD has generated funds from its operations that are sufficient to implement its capital expenditures program, recording R$ 76.2 million in the quarter and R$ 203.8 million over the year.
