Independent Accountants' Review Report
To the Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors of Compania de
Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.
We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet of Compania
de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003, and
the related interim consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
six-month period then ended. These interim financial statements (including the
related notes) are the responsibility of the management of the Company. The
interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June
30, 2002 were reviewed by other auditors whose report, dated July 21, 2002,
stated they were not aware of any material modifications that should be made to
those statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in Chile. 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 review in accordance with auditing standards established in
Chile for a review of interim financial information. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less 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 financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the 2003 interim consolidated financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Chile.
The accompanying financial statements have been translated into English for the
convenience of readers outside Chile.

(a) Accounting period: The interim consolidated financial statements
cover the SIX-month periods ended as of June 30, 2003 and 2002.
(b) Basis of preparation: These interim consolidated financial
statements (hereafter, the interim financial statements) have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in Chile and standards set forth by the Chilean Superintendency of
Securities and Insurance.
In case of discrepancies between generally accepted accounting
principles issued by the Chilean Accountants Association and the
standards set forth by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and
Insurance, for the Company, the standards of the Superintendency
shall prevail over the former.
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of
June 30 and December 31 of each year are prepared in order to be
reviewed and audited respectively in accordance with current legal
requirements. The Company has voluntarily adopted the practice of
submitting the quarterly financial statements as of March and

described in generally accepted auditing standard No. 45, Section

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 financial

These interim consolidated financial statements include assets,

2. Significant Accounting Principles, continued:
(d) Basis of consolidation, continued:
During September 2002, Telefonica CTC Chile sold and transferred 25%
ownership of Sonda S.A. to Inversiones Pacifico Limitada and
Inversiones Santa Isabel Limitada, companies associated with Mr.
Andres Navarro H. This transaction caused the purchasing companies
to disburse ThCh$ 27,920,701 (historical), generating a net loss, of
ThCh$ 1,136,160 (HISTORICAL), due to extraordinary proportional
amortization of goodwill in relation to the percentage sold and to
the difference between the book value of the investment and the
amount received. After completing this operation, Telefonica CTC
Chile through its subsidiary Telefonica Empresas CTC Chile S.A.,
holds 35% owner ship of that company.
Additionally, on September 26, 2002, Telefonica Empresas signed an
agreement with Inversiones Santa Isabel Limitada, which grants it a
sales option for 35% of Sonda, which it can exercise between July 16
and 25 2005, at investment book value as of June 30, 2005, plus a
premium of UF 142,021, with a minimum value of UF 2,048,885. This
minimum value has been guaranteed by Inversiones Santa Isabel
Limitada to Telefonica Empresas through issuance of performance
bonds (see Note 28b).
Should Telefonica Empresas decide not to exercise the sales option
between July 26 and August 5, 2005 Inversiones Santa Isabel Limitada
has a purchase option for the same 35% of Sonda, under the same
conditions mentioned above.
Santa Isabel can exercise its purchase option in advance between
July 26 and July 31, 2003, at the book value on June 30, 2003 plus a
premium of UF 96,000, with a minimum price of UF 1,983,185, or
between July 26 and July 31, 2004, at the book value as of June 30,
2004 plus a premium of UF 119,000, with a minimum price of UF
2,003,260.
Telefonica CTC Chile will continue to amortize goodwill for its
remaining 35% holding in Sonda. Goodwill to be amortized is ThCh$
9,808,256 (see Note 11a) as of June 30, 2003. It is being amortized
discounting the premium of UF 142,021, over a period of 34 months
starting as of September 2002.
Given the conditions contemplated in the contract, recovery of the
equity value of this investment is completely assured, while
recovery of goodwill will depend on the future net income of Sonda
S.A. The Company has made no provision to cover the eventual loss in
the recovery of goodwill, since it is estimated that the future net
income of Sonda S.A. will be sufficient to cover amortization of the
mentioned goodwill.
Those subsidiaries in which there was indirect participation of less
than 50% as of June 30, 2002, were consolidated by their Parent
Company, Sonda S.A., in which the Company participated with a
percentage exceeding 50%.

2. Significant Accounting Principles, continued:
(e) Time deposits:
Time deposits are presented at the value of the invested capital
plus readjustments, if applicable, and accrued interest as of period
end.
(f) Price-level restatement:
The interim consolidated financial statements have been price-level
restated using price-level restatement methodology in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile, in order to
reflect the variation of the currency's purchasing power during both
periods. The accumulated variation in the CPI as of June 30, 2003
and 2002, for beginning balances was 1.1% and 0.6%, respectively.
(g) Basis of conversion:
Assets and liabilities in US$ (United States dollars), Euros, UF
(Unidad de Fomento) and Pound (Sterling Pound), have been translated
into Chilean pesos at the exchange rates at each period closing
date:
---------------------------------------------------------
YEAR US$ EURO UF
---------------------------------------------------------
2002 688.05 681.912 16,355.20
2003 699.12 803.860 16,959.67
---------------------------------------------------------
The exchange differences are charged or credited to income for the
period.
(h) Marketable securities:
Fixed income securities are carried at their price-level restated
purchase price plus accrued interest as of closing date of each
period, based on the real interest rate determined on the purchase
date or their market value, whichever is less.
Investments in mutual funds units are carried at the value of the
unit at each periods closing date. Investments in shares are
presented at their price-level restated cost or market value,
whichever is less.
(i) Inventories:
Equipment destined for sale is carried at price-level restated
purchase or development cost or market value, whichever is less.
Inventories estimated to be used during the next twelve months are
classified as current assets and their cost is price-level restated.

2. Significant Accounting Principles, continued:
(j) Subsidies on sale of cellular telephones:
Represents the difference between the cost at which the cellular
equipment is acquired from suppliers and their resale value to
customers.
The amounts for equipment with prepayment plans are charged to
income at the time they are sold. Equipment with a contract has been
commercialized as being on loan (commodate), a legal figure in which
the equipment is given to subscribers to use free of charge. The
purchase cost of this equipment is capitalized as property, plant
and equipment (subscriber equipment), and is depreciated over a
period of 24 month from the date of the contract.
As of June 1, 2002, a customer loyalty policy was implemented and
which consists of replacing equipment related to contracts that are
more than 18 months old. Based on the above, depreciation provisions
have been established for probable early write-off of equipment.
(k) Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Differentiated percentages are applied when calculating the
allowance for doubtful accounts, taking into account age factors and
eventual collection management factors until 100% is reached for
debts over 120 days and 180 days for large customers (corporations).
(l) Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment is presented at price-level restated
purchase and/or construction cost.
Property, plant and equipment purchased until December 31, 1979 are
presented at appraisal value, as stipulated in Article 140 of D.F.L.
No. 4, and those acquired after that date are carried at purchase
value, except for those assets that are presented at their appraisal
value recorded as of June 30, 1986, in accordance with Circular No.
550 issued by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and
Insurance. All these values have been price-level restated.
Until December 31, 2002, works in progress included the real
financial cost of the loans relating to their financing, originated
during the construction stage and which could have been avoided had
these disbursements not been made. Based on the above financial cost
has been capitalized for ThCh $ 5,867,238 in 2002.
As described in Note 3a, as of January 1, 2003 the Company decided
not to capitalize the real financial cost of loans in the cost of
construction and/or acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
(m) Depreciation:
Depreciation has been calculated and recorded based on the values
stated above, by applying set factors determined on the basis of the
estimated useful lives of the assets. The average annual financial
depreciation rate of the Company is approximately 8.05%.

2. Significant Accounting Principles, continued:
(n) Leased assets:
i) Leased assets with a purchase option. Leased assets with a
purchase option, whose contracts have the characteristics of a
financial lease, are carried in a manner similar to the purchase of
property, plant and equipment, recording the full obligation and
interest on an accrual basis. The Company does not legally own those
assets and as long as it does not exercise the purchase option, it
cannot freely dispose of them.
(n) Intangibles
i) Underwater cable rights:
Underwater cable rights are rights acquired by the Company for the
use of the underwater cable's transmission capacity. These are
amortized over the respective contract term, with a maximum of 25
years.
ii) Licenses (software):
Software licenses are carried at price-level restated purchase cost.
Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method
considering the periods in which the license will provide benefits,
which does not exceed 4 years.
iii) License for the use of radioelectric space:
Corresponds to the cost incurred in obtaining licenses for the use
of wireless. They are shown at price-level restated value and are
amortized over the concession period (30 years from publication of
the decrees covering the respective licenses in the "Diario
Oficial").
(o) Investments in related companies:
These investments are carried under the equity method, recognizing
their income on an accrual basis. Foreign investments have been
valued following Technical Bulletin No. 64. Those investments are
controlled in dollars, since they are in countries considered
unstable under said Bulletin, and their activities are not an
extension of the operations of the Parent Company.
(p) Goodwill and negative goodwill:
Goodwill and negative goodwill are differences arising upon
adjustment of the investment cost, at the time of adopting the
equity method or when making a new purchase. The goodwill and
negative goodwill amortization period has been determined taking
into consideration aspects such as the nature and characteristics of
the business and the estimated period for return of the investment.
Goodwill arising on foreign investments is controlled in US dollars
(the same currency in which the investment is controlled), as per
Technical Bulletin No. 64 of the Chilean Accountants Association
(see Note 11).
(q) Transactions with resale or repurchase agreements:
Purchases of financial instruments with resale agreements are
recorded as a fixed rate placement and classified in Other Current
Assets.
Financial instrument sales with repurchase agreements are recorded
in a manner similar to that when obtaining a loan with investments
as guarantees and are shown in Other Current Liabilities.

2. Significant Accounting Principles, continued:
(r) Obligations with the public:
o Obligations from bond issuance are presented in liabilities at
the par value of the subscribed bonds. The difference between
par value and placement value, determined on the basis of real
interest originated in the transaction, is deferred and
amortized during the term of the respective bond (see Note
16).
o Obligations from issuance of promissory notes: Are presented
in liabilities at their placement value, plus accrued interest
(see note 16a).
Direct costs related to bond placement are capitalized and amortized
using the straight-line method over the term of the respective bond.
(s) Income tax and deferred income tax:
Income tax is calculated on the basis of taxable net income.
Deferred taxes arising from all temporary differences, tax benefits
for tax losses, and other events that create differences between the
tax base of assets and liabilities and their accounting basis are
recorded in accordance with Technical Bulletins Nos. 60, 68, 69 and
73 issued by the Chilean Accountants Association and in accordance
with Circular 1,466 dated January 27, 2000 issued by the
Superintendency of Securities and Insurance.
On September 28, 2001 Law No. 19753 was published, increasing the
corporate income tax rate to 16% in 2002, 16.5% in 2003 and 17% in
2004 and thereafter. As of June 30 of each year, the accumulated
balances of temporary differences include the increase in the income
tax rate. Deferred income taxes arising due to the increase in the
income tax rate are recorded in accordance with Technical Bulletin
No. 71 issued by the Chilean Accountants Association. (see Note 7).
(t) Staff severance indemnities:
The Company's staff severance indemnities obligation is accrued
applying the net present value method to accrued benefit using an
annual discount rate of 7%, considering a future permanence until
the retirement date of each employee (see Note 18).
Expenses for past services rendered by employees resulting from
changes in the actuarial base, are capitalized and amortized over
the average length of future permanence of the employees.
(u) Operating revenues:
The Company's revenues are recorded on the accrual basis in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile.
Since invoices are issued on dates other than accounting cut-off
dates, as of the date of preparation of these financial statements,
services rendered and not invoiced have been accrued, and determined
on the basis of the contracts and traffic at the current period's
prices and conditions. Amounts for this concept are shown in Trade
Accounts Receivable.
Revenues from information services are recorded under the following
conditions: sale of hardware and licenses is recorded when the
equipment and/or software is delivered, and in the case of revenues
from projects, these are recorded according to the progress payments
reports by the customers and which consider the degree of completion
of the respective projects.

2. Significant Accounting Principles, continued:
(v) Foreign currency futures contracts:
The Company has entered into foreign currency futures contracts,
representing a hedge against changes in the exchange rate of its
obligations in foreign currency.
These instruments are valued in accordance with Technical Bulletin
No. 57 issued by the Chilean Accountants Association.
The rights acquired and obligations incurred are detailed in Note
26. The balance sheet only reflects the net right or obligation as
of period-end, classified according to the maturity date of each of
the contracts, in Other Current Assets or Other Creditors, as
applicable. The contract's implicit insurance premium is deferred
and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the
contract.
(w) Interest rate coverage:
Loan interest covered by interest rate swaps is recorded recognizing
the effect of the contracts on the interest rate established in the
loans. Rights and obligations for this concept are shown in Other
Current Assets or in Other Creditors, as applicable (see Note 26).
(x) Computer software:
Software purchase cost is deferred and amortized using the
straight-line method over a four-year period.
(y) Research and development expenses:
Research and development expenses are charged to income in the
period in which they are incurred. Such expenses have not been
significant in recent periods.
(z) Accumulated deficit in development period of subsidiaries:
In accordance with Circular No. 981 of the Superintendency of
Securities and Insurance, the Company has included all disbursements
or obligations arising during the development and start up stage of
its subsidiaries and which are not assignable to the cost of
tangible or nominal assets. This deficit has been absorbed by net
income earned by the Company during operations.
(aa) Accumulated adjustment for conversion differences:
The Company recognizes the difference between the variation in the
exchange rate and the consumer price index arising on the
price-level restatement of its investments abroad, controlled in US
dollars, as well as adjustments for translation differences arising
from subsidiaries and related companies that have been recognized
for their foreign investments. The balance in this account is
credited (charged) to income in the same period in which the gain or
loss on the complete or partial disposal of these investments is
recognized.

accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 50 issued by the Chilean
Accountants Association and with Circular No. 1,312 issued by the
Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, the Company

which the conditions that regulate international traffic are set,
charged or paid according to net traffic exchanges (imbalance) and
to the rates set in each agreement.

3. Accounting Changes:
a) Property, plant and equipment financing cost: As of January 2003,
the Company changed the criteria for capitalizing the real financing
costs of the loans related to financing the property, plant and

higher charge to income for the period, of approximately ThCh$
2,200,000, in comparison to 2002.
b) Change in the reporting entity: At June 30, 2003, since Telefonica

27. Contingencies and restrictions:
a) Lawsuits:
(i) Complaint filed by Profesionales Temporales Ltda (Protempore
Ltda.):
On January 2, 1998, the Company was notified of a complaint
filed by Protempore Ltda. with the 15th Civil Court of
Santiago for cancellation of contract with damage indemnity
amounting to ThCh$ 7,885,711.
By sentence dated June 28, 2002, the court rejected all parts
of the complaint and damage indemnity filed by Protempore and
accepted the counterclaim filed by Telefonica CTC Chile,
declaring cancellation of the contracts due to non-compliance
by the former, sentencing them to indemnify all payments made
by the Company as a consequence of their non-compliance.
Protempore filed a motion to vacate and appeal against this
sentence, which is underway (Case No. 4958-1997).
(ii) Complaint filed by VTR Telefonica S.A.:
On June 30, 2000 VTR Telefonica S.A. filed a complaint in
plenary suit for pesos charged for access charges of Ch$ 2,203
million, based on the differences that would originate when
access charge rates were reduced due to the dictation of
Tariff Decree No. 187 of Telefonica CTC. The first instance
sentence accepted VTR's complaint and compensation alleged by
Telefonica CTS. The Company filed a motion to vacate and
appeal that is currently underway.
(iii) Labor lawsuits:
In the normal course of business of the Company there have
been labor lawsuits filed against it.
To date, among others, there are certain labor lawsuits
involving 27 former employees who claim wrongful dismissal.
These employees did not sign releases or receive staff
severance indemnities. First instance sentences have been
handed down in two of these lawsuits, accepting the complaint.
They have been appealed by the Company. The Company has
obtained favorable sentencing in a third lawsuit, with the
Supreme Court ratifying a previous verdict by the Court of
Appeals of Concepcion which accepted the Company's arguments.
In addition there are other lawsuits involving 116 former
employees who have been paid their staff severance indemnities
and have signed their releases, who in spite of having
accepted voluntary retirement plans or having been terminated
due to the Company's needs, intend to obtain a declaration of
nullity. Of these lawsuits, two have been decided in favor of
the Company, rejecting the nullity.
Certain labor union have filed complaints before the Santiago
Labor Courts, requesting indemnity for various concepts.

----------
27. Contingencies and restrictions, continued:
In Management's opinion and that of in house legal counsel, the risk of
the Company being obliged to pay indemnities in the amounts claimed in the
lawsuits mentioned previously is remote. Management considers it
improbable that the Company's revenues and shareholders' equity will be
significantly affected by these loss contingencies. Therefore no provision
has been set up in connection with the indemnities claimed.
(iv) Complaint against the Chilean Government:
Telefonica CTC Chile continued its efforts to have
illegalities incurred in drafting Decree 187 which set its
rates corrected. The presentation of an administrative
replacement recourse is emphasized. Subsequent to the negative
response from the Authority, Telefonica CTC Chile filed an
indemnity complaint against the Government for illegalities
incurred in the process of setting rates
The complaint was for US$274 million, plus readjustments and
interest, and covers past and future damages until May 2004,
due to having to charge lower rates than those that should
legally have been set.
The Third Civil Court of Santiago accepted the complaint, and
notified the Government. Once the answer from the Government
had been received, as well as the answer and rejoinder with
which the discussion period ends, the Court of Justice
dictated the writ of evidence, setting the pertinent,
substantial and disputed evidence. To date the complaint is at
the evidence stage, within which Telefonica CTC Chile has
rendered abundant testimonial evidence.
(v) Manquehue Net:
On June 24, 2003, Telefonica CTC Chile filed a petition for
forced compliance with contract with damage indemnity before
the mixed arbitration court of Mr. Victor Vial del Rio against
Manquehue Net, in the amount of Ch $ 3,647,689,175 in addition
to those accrued during the substantiation process. Likewise
and on the same date, Manquehue Net filed a petition for
discount compliance (in the amount of UF 107,000), in addition
to a petition of obligation to perform (signing of 700 service
contracts). Regarding both petitions, the Arbitrator conceded
transfer on June 25, 2003. The parties were subsequently
notified.
b) Financial covenants:
In order to develop its investment plans, the Company has obtained
financing both from the local market and the foreign market (Notes
14, 15 and 16), that establish among others: maximum debt clauses
for the Company, interest cover and cash flow.
The maximum debt ratio for these contracts is 1.60, while the
interest coverage ratio cannot be less than 3.00 and, lastly, the
cash flows ratio must be equal to or exceed 0.166.
Non compliance with these clauses implies that all obligations
assumed in those financing contracts will become due.
As of June 30 2003, the Company meets all financial covenants.

better financing conditions together with a drop in other non-operating
revenues.
Regarding business operating statistics, as of June 30, 2003, fixed

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 4
Tariff Setting Process for Telefonica CTC (Local Telephone Service)
As an issue prior to the process of setting the rates for the services
provided by Telefonica CTC, on January 13 of this year, Telefonica CTC
Chile S.A. requested the pronouncement of the Antitrust Commission wish
respect to decreeing freedom of rates in specific geographic areas, to
define the telephone services which will be subject to rate regulation
in areas where the market conditions are not sufficient to guarantee a
freedom of rates regime and to determine that Telefonica CTC Chile S.A.
has the right to offer alternative rate plans without prior
authorization.
On April 30, 2003, Telefonica CTC submitted to the Undersecretary of
Telecommunications (Subtel) its proposal for the Technical Economic
Basis for the Tariff Setting Study for services rendered by Telefonica
CTC Chile to other public telephone service suppliers, to
concessionaires of intermediate services, which provide long distance
telephone services and to suppliers of complementary services.
On May 20, 2003, the Atitrust Commission dictated Resolution No. 686
which defines the services subject to tariff setting by the Ministries
of Economy and of Transportation and Telecommunications, which are
similar to those established for the 1999 - 2004 period. The mentioned
Resolution No. 686 rejects the petition for tariff freedom for specific
primary zones requested by Telefonica CTC Chile, and in relation to the
request for rate flexibility, informed favorably by the Regulator, the
Antitrust Commission did not issue a specific pronouncement in spite of
the fact that most of its members were for making a pronouncement on
the same, whereas the rest of the members considered that such matter
did not correspond to that Commission.
On May 30, 2003, Subtel sent Telefonica CTC Chile the Preliminary
Technical Economic Basis. In this respect, Telefonica CTC Chile
formulated 84 controversies to the Preliminary Technical Economic Basis

Regulates the Procedure, Advertising and Participation of the Tariff
Setting Process.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 5
Process for Setting Interconnection Rates for Telefonica Movil
On January 10, 2003, Telefonica Movil presented its proposal for
Technical Economic Basis to the Undersecretary of Telecommunications,
to govern the process for setting interconnection rates.
By means of Resolution dated February 22, 2003, Subtel approved the
Final Technical Economic Basis that will govern the interconnection
rate setting process for the concessionaires mobile telephone service
to the public for the 2004 - 2009 period.
Financial Debt Decrease
Telefonica CTC Chile continues to improve its debt level through
amortization of loans, renegotiation of rates and terms of current
loans and also through the global decrease in market rates. As of June
30, 2003, interest-bearing debt reached US$ 1,413 million, reflecting a
decrease of 22.8% compared to the nominal interest-bearing debt of US$
1,831 million recorded as of June 30, 2002. The decrease in debt levels
together with improved financing conditions in turn had the effect of
lowering financial expenses for 2003.
Telefonica S.A.'s Offer to Purchase Shares of Terra Networks
On May 28, 2003, Telefonica S.A. announced an offer to purchase 100 %
of the shares of Terra Lycos. On July 10, 2003, the Board of Directors
of CTC Transmisiones Regionales S.A. agreed to participate in the offer
(OPA) and sell 2,984,986 shares of Terra Networks S.A. owned by it at
an unit price of 5.25 Euros.
Recovery in the price of the shares of Terra Networks in the
international market during this year, had a positive impact on the
investment valuation of the shares that CTC Transmisiones Regionales
S.A. holds in that company. This resulted in recognition of Ch$ 3,375
million in non-operating incomes in the first half of 2003.
Placement of Negotiable Instruments
On January 27, 2003, Telefonica CTC Chile S.A. registered a line of
negotiable instruments in the Securities Registry with a maximum amount
of Ch$ 35,000 million, for a 10-year term. On June 26, Telefonica CTC
Chile, placed Ch$ 20,000 million, through a placing agent, in two
series of equal par value, with final maturity deadline in September
and November 2003.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 8
3. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD
3.1 OPERATING INCOME
As of June 30, 2003, operating income reached Ch$ 60,327 million, which
represents a decrease of 9.2% in comparison to the previous year.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues for the period reached CH$400,309 million showing a
decrease of 8.0% in relation to 2002. This decrease incorporates the
effects of the deconsolidation of Sonda as of September 2002. Isolating
this effect, operating revenues increased by 2.4% over the previous year.
This variation was mainly originated by a 12.2% increase in mobile
services, together with a 3.8% increase in revenues from corporate
communications. The above was partly offset by a 10.3% decrease in
long-distance revenues and a drop of 0.8% in local telephone revenues. The
latter is mainly due to the generation of greater revenues equivalent to
32.1% for added value services and other services such as ADSL, partly
compensating the decreased revenues derived from the Corporation's
decrease in traffic and lines in service.
Revenues from Local Telephone Service: Revenues from Basic Telephone
Service decreased by 3.6% in respect of the previous year. The variation
experienced by this revenue is mainly derived from: (i) the 1.6% decrease
in the level of fixed charge, corresponding to the fixed monthly charge
for network connections, mainly due to the decrease in the number of lines
in service and compensated in part by the indexation of rates applicable
to these services; (ii) the 5.0% drop in revenues from variable charge,
mainly due to the decrease in lines in service, to the downward trend in
the behavior of traffic per line and compensated in part by the indexation
applicable to these services.
Consolidated revenues from access charges and interconnections decreased
by 6.1%, mainly due to the 2.7% decrease in revenues from domestic long
distance access charges and a 19.0% decrease in revenues from
international long distance access charges, due to the 22.0% drop in
international interconnection traffic, and to a 4.7% decrease in revenues
from other charges and interconnection services.
Other Local Telephone Services increased by 32.1% due to an 11.7% increase
in value added services, higher revenues equivalent to 61.5% for
commercialization of equipment and a 52.3% increase in other services and,
lastly, to a 52.3% increase in other services, mainly due to contributions
from broad band services for the concept of ADSL, which show a sustained
growth during the last few periods.
Long Distance: Revenues from these services decreased by 10.3% in
comparison to 2002, due to a decrease of 12.9% and 6.9% in revenues from
DLD and ILD, respectively, the latter influenced by an average decrease of
13.6% in the price of these services, in spite of a 2.3% growth in
outgoing ILD traffic. Media and circuit rentals show decreased revenues
equivalent to 11.0% in relation to the first quarter of 2002.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 9
Mobile Communications: Total revenues from this business increased by
12.2% in relation to 2002, mainly due to the 14.6% growth experienced in
the average mobile customer base, partially offset by the drop in average
revenue per subscriber, and a higher level of prepaid customers in
relation to contract customers. It should be noted that these revenues
include regulated calling party pays revenues for incoming traffic to
mobile telephones.
Corporate Communications: Business revenues shows an increase of 3.8% in
comparison to the previous year, corresponding to a 15.5% increase in the
sale and rental of equipment and networks, compensated by a 0.4% decrease
in private services. The above is explained by the increase in corporate
services, a 256.0% increase in dedicated IP links and the growth in Broad
Band and ISP services, all offset in part by the 8.1% decrease in the
number of ATM services and the 49.3% decrease in Datared services.
Other Operating Revenues: This income, excluding the effect of Sonda in
2002, shows a 3.0% increase mainly due to higher revenues from alarm
monitoring services and increased revenues from maintenance of interior
telephone lines and public telephony equipment.
Operating Costs
Operating costs of Ch$339,982 million for the period decreased by 7.8%
compared to 2002.
This decrease is mainly explained by a 33.5% decrease in salaries which
translates into a 12.0% decrease excluding Sonda in 2002, reflecting the
savings in the workforce reduction carried out by the Company in October
2002. Depreciation decreased by 1.3% (increase of 2.2% when excluding
Sonda in 2002) due mainly to the Corporation's new assets becoming
operational. Other operating costs dropped by 5.8%, (however, when
excluding Sonda in 2002, they increased by 11.7%) mainly due to an
increase in the interconnection service costs and an increase in the
Corporation's allowance for doubtful accounts.
Administration and selling costs in comparison to the first half of 2002,
show a decrease of 7.0%, however, upon excluding Sonda in 2002, they
increased by 5.6% due mainly to the increase in expenses from advertising
expenses, sales commissions and outsourcing services, partly offset by
remuneration savings due to the reduction in the Corporation's payroll.
3.2 NON-OPERATING RESULT
Non-operating result in the first half of 2003 shows a loss of Ch$35,398
million, figure that is less than the non-operating result for the same
period in 2002. The variation in non-operating result is broken down as
follows:
Interest income shows a drop of 33.7%, mainly due to lower domestic and
international interest rates and less available funds, which have been
assigned to diminish the Corporation's financial debt.
Other non-operating income There is a 84.2% increase mainly a rise in the
price of Terra Networks shares in the market during 2003 and the final
adjustment of the compensatory indemnity due to early termination of the
contract with Publiguias S.A., partly offset by the sale of shares booked
in the first half of 2002.
Interest expenses decreased by 13.7% in 2003, mainly due to a reduced debt
and better financing conditions.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 10
Other non-operating expenses decreased by 53.8%, derived mainly from
higher expenses incurred in 2002 due to staff severance indemnities and
expenses related to lawsuits. Additionally, 2002 includes the effect of
the lower market value of the Terra Networks shares.
Price-level restatement shows a deficit of $316 million, 94.5% lower than
the loss of Ch$5,716 million recorded in the first half of 2002. This last
figure partly picks up the effect of the devaluation of Sonda's
investments in Argentina and Brazil. It should be noted, that there has
been a 100% level of coverage on exchange rate variations and 84% coverage
of interest rate variations. The Company's coverage policy for the
peso-dollar exchange has allowed it to neutralize the effects of the
exchange rate variations in 2002 and 2003.
3.3 NET INCOME FOR THE PERIOD
Net income was Ch$ 8,217 million in comparison with net income of Ch$
1,382 million earned in 2002. Net income obtained during the period
derives from a 33.5% drop in non-operating result and a 9.2% decrease in
operating income, together with a 48.4% increase in income tax in relation
to the previous year. This increase in tax expense is fundamentally due to
a 130.8% increase in deferred tax expense derived from a 101.4% increase
in amortization of complementary accounts plus an increase in deferred tax
expense of 158.4% for the period, a situation that is partially
compensated by a 25.8% drop in income taxes payable.
4. RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA
Local Telephone Business: Showed a net loss of CH $15,469 million in the
period, which represents a decrease of CH$ 3,442 million in the loss with
respect to the previous year, explained mainly by a 24.4% decrease in
non-operating deficit.
Long Distance Business: showed a profit of Ch$13,458 million, a 35.7%
increase over the previous year. This variation is composed of a 22.5%
drop in the operating income, and a non-operating gain of Ch$2,571 million
which compares positively with the non-operating deficit of Ch$5,739
million in the first half of 2002.
Corporate Communications Business: This business contributed income of
Ch$4,963 million, compared to income in 2002 of Ch$9,596 million. This
variation is mainly due to a 30.58% drop in operating income as a result
of drop in revenue due to the transfer of PYMES customers to local
business. The above was partly offset by a decrease in goods and services
and salary expenses. In addition there was a non-operating deficit of Ch$
1,012 million as of June 2003, while the previous year showed
non-operating income of Ch$214 million for the same period.
Mobile Business: The Mobile Communications business contributed income of
Ch $4,200 million to the consolidated net income during the period,
whereas in 2002 it had income of Ch$2,140 million. This positive
contribution is derived from higher results at an operating and
non-operating level.
Other Businesses: These businesses as a whole showed income of Ch$1,064
million as a result operating income of Ch $ 4,208 million and a
non-operating deficit of Ch$2,969 million, whereas during the same period
in the previous year, there was a loss of Ch$1,357 million. In 2003 these
businesses include mainly public telephone services, maintenance and
installations of basic telephone equipment, "Isapre Istel" (employee
health insurance) and shared services. In 2002 they also include the
results of SONDA.

investment and, mainly to greater amortization and prepayment cash flows to
decrease the debt of Telefonica CTC Chile, a situation that was partly offset by
increased cash flows from operating activities during the first half of 2003, as
compared to the same period of the previous year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 14
In the previous table, the following is highlighted:
The current ratio shows a decrease because the levels of current assets
and liabilities decreased by 37.9% and 35.0%, respectively. The debt ratio
decreased due to lower levels of financial liabilities compared to January
- June 2002.
7. EXPLANATION OF THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARKET OR ECONOMIC VALUE AND
THE BOOK VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS
Due to am imperfect market for the 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 Company's 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 lower than the book
value.
8. REGULATORY ISSUES
Fixed Telephony Tariff Decree
Decree No. 187 is in effect as of May 5, 1999. It establishes maximum
rates for Telefonica CTC Chile for local telephone services and
interconnection services for a period of five years, which expires on May
4, 2004.
The main services subject to tariff regulation 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 rates for services
subject to tariff regulation, on January 13 of this year, Telefonica CTC
Chile S.A. requested that the Antitrust Commission decree freedom of rates
in specific geographic areas, that they define telephone services which
will be subject to rate regulation in areas where the market conditions
are not sufficient to guarantee a freedom of rates regime and that they
determine that Telefonica CTC Chile S.A. has the right to offer
alternative rate plans without prior authorization.
Subtel, together with the process of rate setting for Telefonica CTC
Chile, initiated the process of rate setting for public services provided
by Entelphone in Easter Island and access charge rates provided by
Entelphone, CMET, Telesat and Manquehue Net.
On April 30, 2003, Telefonica CTC submitted to Subtel its proposal for the
Technical Economic Basis for the Tariff Setting Study for services
provided to the public and for the Tariff Setting Study for services
provided by Telefonica CTC Chile to other concessionaires of Public
Telephone services, to intermediate services concessionaires that provide
long distance telephone services and to suppliers of complementary
services.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 15
On its side, on May 20, 2003, the Antitrust Commission dictated Resolution
No. 686 which defines the services subject to rate setting by the
Ministries of Economy and of Transportation and Telecommunications, which
are similar to those established for the 1999 - 2004 period. The mentioned
resolution No. 686 rejects the petition for tariff deregulation for
specific primary zones requested by Telefonica CTC Chile, and in relation
to the request for rate flexibility, informed favorably by the Regulator,
the Antitrust Commission did not issue a specific pronouncement in spite
of the fact that most of its members were in favor of making a
pronouncement on the same, whereas the rest of the members considered that
such matter did not correspond to that Commission.
On May 30, 2003, Subtel sent Telefonica CTC Chile the Preliminary
Technical Economic Basis. In this respect, Telefonica CTC Chile formulated
84 controversies to the Preliminary Technical Economic Basis of Subtel and
requested the formation off a panel of experts in conformity with what is
established in the law and Regulations that regulates the Procedure,
Advertising and Participation in the Rate Setting Process.
The Expert Commission was officially constituted on June 17, integrated by
the experts designated by Telefonica CTC Chile and Subtel. On July 17, the
mentioned panel issued its report on the controversies informed by
Telefonica CTC Chile. Once the pronouncement has been sent, which is not
binding upon nature Subtel, it has 10 days to dictate the Final Technical
Economic Basis.
Entelphone, CMET, Manquehue Net and Telesat did not formulate
controversies to the Preliminary Technical Economic Basis. Consequently
with the above, Subtel dictated the Final Technical Economic Basis for the
respective companies.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 16
Mobile Telephone Tariff Decree
Decree No. 97 is in effect as of February 12, 1999. It establishes maximum
rates for Telefonica Movil for interconnection services, including Mobile
Access Charge, for a period of five years, which expires on February 12,
2004.
Since the expiry of the five-year period of current regulated rates is
nearing, on January 10, 2003, Telefonica Movil presented its Technical
Economic Basis Proposal to the Undersecretary of Telecommunications,
beginning the process of setting the rates for the 2004-2009 period. In
Exempt Resolution dated February 22, 2003, the Undersecretary of
Telecommunications approved the Final Technical Economic Basis that will
apply to the process of setting the Access Charges Rates for the mobile
telephone public service for the 2004 - 2009 period.
Lawsuit Against the State of Chile
Upon extinguishing the administrative instances to correct the
illegalities involved in the Tariff Setting Process, Telefonica CTC Chile
S.A. filed a lawsuit for damages against the State of Chile.
The lawsuit for US$274 million, plus readjustments and interests, covers
past and future damages until May 2004, resulting from having to charge
lower rates than those that should legally have been set.
The Third Civil Court of Santiago accepted the complaint, and notified the
State. Once the answer from the State had been received, as well as the
answer and rejoinder with which the discussion period ends, the Court
dictated the writ of evidence, setting the pertinent, substantial and
disputed evidence, which initiated the presentation of evidence stage, in
which witnesses for the plaintiff and for the State have testified.
Upon conclusion of the testimonial and partial testing, the expert
investigation stage requested by the parties begins.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 17
9. ANALYSIS OF MARKETS, COMPETITION AND RELATIVE PARTICIPATION
Continued growth is observed in the mobile and broad band Internet market
during the first quarter of 2003, in contrast with the stagnation in the
fixed-network voice communication, long distance and narrow band Internet
business.
In the competitive environment, there were no relevant changes in the
relative participation of the operators in the various businesses, with
exception of an increase in the participation of Telefonica CTC Chile in
the broad band market.
Among the relevant competitive events, in mid-April 2003, the highlight is
the announcement of the owner of AT&T Chile (AT&T Latin America) that it
had requested protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Law in the
United States of America for reorganizing its operations. At the same time
AT&T Corp had an agreement of intent to sell its participation in AT&T
Latin America to Southern Cross, which finally did not prosper.
Local Telephone Service
This market contemplates providing local telephone services inside the
primary areas, interconnection services with other telecommunications
companies and other unregulated local services.
Incorporation into this market is regulated by concessions awarded by the
Undersecretary of Telecommunications of the Ministry of Transport and
Telecommunications (Subtel).
Currently eleven companies with twelve brands participate in this market,
including rural operators. The penetration rate per 100 inhabitants as of
MAY 2003 was in the order OF 23.7 lines per 100 inhabitants (considering
the population figures of the April 2002 census) Telefonica CTC Chile has
approximately 75.5% of fixed telephone lines as of May 2003.
On August 21, 1999, Decree No. 187 was published in the Official Gazette.
This decree was drafted jointly by the Ministries of Transport and
Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction and it
sets rates for the regulated services of Telefonica CTC Chile during the
five-year period from 1999-2004. The Decree had to be applied
retroactively as of May 4, 1999.
In Resolution No. 611, the Antitrust Commission established the
possibility for Telefonica CTC Chile to offer alternative tariff plans to
Decree No. 187, oriented toward volume discounts, and to request tariff
deregulation in certain geographic areas. In this regard, on September 4,
2001, Telefonica CTC Chile presented a proposal for alternative tariff
plans (for high traffic consumption), which was approved in October 2002.
On May 24, 2002, Telefonica CTC Chile also obtained authorization from
Subtel to commercialize prepaid telephone service for low income segments,
which was commercially implemented in October 2002.
Of the five companies that were awarded the bid to operate fixed wireless
telephone service concessions in the 3,400 to 3,700 MHz or Wireless Local
Loop (WLL), only Entel (licenses: one national and 13 regional) is
currently developing its projects. Telefonica del Sur (which was awarded
licenses from the VIII to X Regions) informed Subtel of the interruption
of its project, due to extenuating circumstances, this being the reason
that Subtel annulled the concession for local wireless public service in
the VIII and IX regions.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 18
Telefonica CTC Chile does not currently hold a license to operate with WLL
technology.
Long Distance
This market contemplates communications services between primary areas
(DLD) and international communications (ILD), also known as intermediate
services.
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 calls. This law allows local telephone operators to participate
in the long distance market through an independent subsidiary subject to
some requirements.
In this market there are currently 14 companies operating with 17 carrier
codes. Traffic in the DLD and ILD market, through fixed telephone lines
recorded a drop in the first half of 2003 with respect to the first half
of 2002 estimated at 11% and 6% respectively. Telefonica CTC Chile,
through its subsidiaries 188 Telefonica Mundo and GLOBUS 120, reached an
estimated market share of 38.7% in domestic long distance and 31.4% in
outgoing international long distance, in the second quarter of 2003.
Corporate Communications
This business area contemplates providing circuit and data services
(Datared, E1, ATM, Frame Relay), IP network solutions, Hosting, ASP and
advanced telecommunications solutions for corporate clients and Internet
service providers (ISPs). Likewise, it includes the commercialization of
advanced equipment (multiple lines and PABx, among others).
In October 2002, Telefonica Empresas refocused toward the company and
corporate segments. In this business Telefonica CTC Chile competes with 8
companies in the private service area and with at least 10 companies in
the hosting business, with a market share of approximately 47% considered
during the first half of 2003, including sale of advanced equipment to
companies.
Mobile Communications
Provides mobile communication services (cellular telephony, paging,
trunking and wireless data transmission).
There are currently four mobile telephone operators and one smaller
operator of mobile satellite communications.
Telefonica CTC Chile, through its subsidiary Telefonica Movil, has
approximately 30% of a total of 6.6 million of customers estimated as of
June 2003.
Regarding the tender offer for PCS mobile spectrum in the 1,900 MHz band
(3 bands of 10 MHz each), once the Supreme Court verdict to exclude
Smartcom was handed down, the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications
called on Telefonica Movil S.A. and Bellsouth to proceed to bid on the
three concessions on July 18, 2002.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 19
On July 18, 2002, the three 10 MHz frequencies on the 1,900 MHz band were
awarded. Telefonica Movil Chile was awarded two frequencies (20 MHz) for a
total of UF 544,521, equivalent to US$12.8 million.
On the other hand, Telefonica CTC enabled the specialized
radio-communications interconnection requested by a mobile service
operator, which is available as of the beginning of April 2003.
Pay TV
The pay television market is composed of two main cable TV competitors
with approximately 80% of the pay TV market. (roughly 710,000 customers),
two satellite TV operators and approximately 20 cable TV operators in
specific areas, jointly have the remaining 20% of the market.
On July 3, 2000, a contract was signed for the sale by Telefonica CTC
Chile of Metropolis Intercom to Cordillera Comunicaciones S.A. once the
transaction was authorized by the Antitrust Commission. The amount of the
transaction was US$270 million for 40% of Metropolis Intercom, 100% of its
cable television network (except the cable TV network in the IV and VIII
Regions) and 100% of Compania de Telecomunicaciones de Chile Plataforma
Tecnica Red Multimedia. In addition the arbitration processes of both
companies ended by way of a legal settlement.
In January 2002, a merger agreement was reached between Liberty Media and
United Global Com (UCG), companies that participate in the Chilean
operators Metropolis Intercom and VTR, respectively.
Internet Access
In this market there are currently approximately 34 ISP's operating
effectively, in which three of them concentrate 83% of the traffic. IP
traffic (switched) for the second quarter of 2003 in the network of
Telefonica CTC Chile, reached approximately 1,671 million of minutes, a 2%
drop in respect to the second quarter of 2002 mainly due to the migration
of intensive users to broad band access.
Telefonica CTC Chile focuses on Internet access for corporate clients
through its ISP TIE, segment in which it holds a market share near to 30%,
and has commercial agreements with ISP Terra.
Telefonica CTC Chile continues with an intensive deployment of internet
access through ADSL broad band, directly to the final customer and through
a wholesale model in the ISP industry. At the end of June 2003, Telefonica
CTC Chile's broadband connections in service reached 84,202, representing
a growth of 178.2% when compared to June 2002, thus achieving a market
share of 33%.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 20
Other Businesses
Comprises the Public Telephone market, in which Telefonica CTC Chile
participates through its subsidiary CTC Equipos. There are seven
nationwide companies of, which CTC Equipos, as of June 2003, has
approximately 23% market share as of June 2003considering its own public
telephones. Additionally, Telefonica CTC Chile has another 21,588
community telephones installed.
On January 11, 1999, Telefonica CTC Chile completed the acquisition of 60%
of Sonda S.A. The agreement included the commitment of Sonda S.A. to
purchase 100% of the information assets of Telefonica CTC Chile, which has
completed in the first quarter of 1999.
On October 12, 2001, Telefonica CTC Chile signed a new shareholders'
agreement with Inversiones Pacifico II Ltda. and Inversiones Atlantico
Ltda. in which it grants each of these companies a call option for its 60%
stake in Sonda S.A. maturing in June 2005. Additionally, the outsourcing
and rental contracts between Sonda and Telefonica CTC Chile were
terminated and a contract was signed in virtue of which Telefonica CTC
Chile repurchases, at book value, the assets that were sold to Sonda S.A.
in January 1999.
On September 26, 2002, Telefonica CTC Chile S.A., through its subsidiary
Telefonica Empresas signed a sales contract for 25% ownership of Sonda
S.A. for Ch$27,921 million (approximately US$37.5 million), paid in cash.
Through this agreement Inversiones Pacifico II Limitada acquired 11% of
Sonda and Inversiones Santa Isabel Limitada acquired 14%. Both companies
are related to Mr. Andres Navarro H. Thus, company's control is
transferred to Andres Navarro, while Telefonica CTC Chile keeps the
remaining 35% ownership through its subsidiary Telefonica Empresas.
On November 20, 2001 a new subsidiary was formed to commercialize and
install alarm systems and video cameras for residential and corporate
customers, providing monitoring and surveillance services and any other
service relating to the above. As of May 2003, it is estimated that
Telefonica CTC Chile has a market share of 29% in this service.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements 21
10. ANALYSIS OF MARKET RISK
Financial Risk Coverage
With the attractive foreign interest rates in certain periods, the Company
has obtained financing abroad, denominated mainly in dollars and euros
and, in certain cases, at a floating interest rate. For this reason 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 coverage instruments, the purpose of which
is to reduce the negative impact of dollar and euro fluctuations on its
financial 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 forward
agreements.
As of June 30, 2003, the interest-bearing debt in original currency
expressed in dollars was US$1,413 million, including US$991 million of
financial liabilities in dollars, US$220 million in debt expressed in
"unidades de fomento" (inflation indexed Chilean currency unit), and
US$160 million of debt in euros. In this manner, US$1,211 million
corresponded to debt exposed to foreign currencies, and therefore directly
or indirectly exposed to variations of the dollar.
Simultaneously, the Company had dollar/UF and dollar/peso exchange
insurance and assets in dollars that resulted, as of June 30, 2003, in
Zero exposure to foreign exchange.
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, 2003, the Company had debts at variable interest rates,
Libor, Euro 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
"collars" and "Forward Rate Agreements" (which protect the Libor rate), to
limit the future fluctuations of interest rates. As of June 30, 2003, this
has allowed the Company to end with an exposure of 16% of the total
interest-bearing debt in original currency.
