Auction of the Frequencies 1.9 Mhz
On September 25, 2007, the Company, through its subsidiary VIVO S.A. was the winning bidder of the Band L lots, except for lot 16 (area of Londrina- state of Paraná) and of lot 20 (North of Brazil), after opening the proposals carried through on that date in the headquarters of ANATEL. Band L comprises lots in the frequency range from 1895 to 1900 Mhz and from 1975 to 1980 Mhz, with 5 + 5 Mhz width, in all the regions served by the SMP. Thus, Vivo closed its last “gap” coverage and will soon be operating in the whole Brazilian territory.
In order to achieve this benchmark, Vivo offered 50.60% average premium over the minimum price set in the auction call notice. Vivo’s offer was approximately R$169.7 million for all Band L lots acquired. However, pursuant to the rules provided for in the auction call notice, the price to be paid refers to the remaining term of the pre-existing authorizations for each lot acquired, which term is always counted as from the date of execution of the Term of Authorization referring to this bidding process. The amount resulting from the governmental bidding for Vivo totaled R$50.3 million, without including the lots of state of Minas Gerais.
Auction of the Frequencies of 2.1 Mhz (3G)
On December 20, 2007, the Company, through its subsidiary, announced that it was the winning bidder in the Band J lots, with 10 + 10 MHz width, with exception of the areas VII and X. In order to achieve this benchmark, Vivo has paid 92.5% average premium over the minimum price set in the auction call notice. For all Band J lots acquired, the Vivo offer was approximately R$1.1 billion for a period of 15 years, subjected to a one-time renewal period of 15 years. The total amount or 10% should be paid at the time of the execution of the Terms of Authorization. The remaining 90% may be paid in 6 equal and annual installments, with a grace period of 3 years, adjusted to the Telecommunications Sector Index - IST variation, plus 1% monthly.
Agreement between Telefonica and Telecom Italy
In October 2007, TELCO S.p.A. (in which Telefonica S.A holds a participation of 42.3%), completed the acquisition of 23.6% of Telecom Italia. Telefonica S.A. has joint control of Vivo, through its joint venture with Portugal Telecom. Telecom Italia has controlling interest in TIM Participações S.A (TIM), which is a mobile operator in Brazil. As result of the acquisition of its interest in Telecom Italia, Telefonica S.A. does not have any direct involvement in the operations of TIM. Additionally, any transactions between the Company and TIM are transactions in the normal course of business (inter-operator transactions), which are regulated by the ANATEL.

The installment classified in the current assets refers to the reversal of temporary differences and amortization of goodwill expected for the next twelve months.
The deferred taxes were set up assuming its future realization, as follows:
a) Tax credit incorporated: represented by the net balance of goodwill and the provision for maintaining the integrity of the net equity (Note 6.2). Its conversion occurs proportionately to the amortization of the goodwill in its subsidiary, over a period of 5 to 10 years. Studies by outside consultants used in the Corporate Restructuring process support the recovery of the value within this period.
b) Tax loss and negative bases: represents the amount recorded by the subsidiary, which will be offset at the limit of 30% of the bases computed in the coming years and has no limitation period. The Company did not record the potential deferred income and social contribution tax credit that would arise from the use of these tax bases in the amount of R$700,126 (R$686,064 at December 31, 2007), given the uncertainty, at this time, as to the Company’s ability to generate future taxable results to ensure realization of these deferred taxes.
c) Temporary differences: realization will occur at the payment of provisions, the effective loss on bad debts or the realization of inventories, as well as upon reversal of other provisions. The Company did not record the potential deferred income and social contribution tax credit that would arise from the use of these provisions in the amount of R$157,293 (R$156,856 at December 31, 2007), given the uncertainty, at this time, as to the Company’s ability to generate future taxable results to ensure realization of these deferred taxes
The Company prepared technical feasibility studies, approved by its Board, which indicated the full recovery of deferred tax amounts recognized at December 31, 2007, as defined by CVM instruction No. 371.
During the quarter ending March 31, 2008, no relevant fact occured that indicated limitations to full recovery of deferred tax amounts recognised by the subsidiary.

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONSOLIDATED)
a) Considerations on Risks
The main market risks to which the Company and its subsidiary are exposed in the conduct of their activities are:
Credit Risk: deriving from possible difficulties in collecting the amounts related to telecommunications services rendered to its customers and to sales of handsets to its dealers, as well as the risk related to short-term investments and amounts receivable from swap transactions.
Interest Rate Risk: deriving from a portion of the debt and from long positions of derivatives contracted at floating rates, and involving the risk of an increase in financial expenses due to an unfavorable change in interest rates (mainly LIBOR, TJLP and CDI).
Exchange Rate Risk: the possibility that Company and its subsidiary incur losses as a result of exchange rate variations that increase the liability balances of foreign currency loans and financing.
The Company and its subsidiary adopt an active position concerning the management of the various risks to which they are exposed, by means of a set of comprehensive initiatives, procedures and operating policies, thus mitigating the risks inherent to their activities.
Credit Risk
The credit risk involved in the rendering of telecommunications services is minimized by a strict control of the customer base and active management of customers’ default, by means of clear policies regarding the sale of post-paid telephones. The subsidiary customer base has, predominantly, a prepaid system, which requires the prior loading and consequently entails no credit risk.
The credit risk in the sale of handsets is managed by a conservative credit policy, by means of modern management methods, including the application of “credit scoring” techniques, analysis of financial statements and information, and consultation to commercial data bases, as well as the automatic control of sales release integrated with the distribution module of SAP’s ERP software.
The company and its subsidiary are also subject to credit risk originating from its financial investments and amounts receivable from swap transactions. The Company and its subsidiary act in a manner so as to diversify this exposure among various world-class financial institutions.
Interest rate risk
The Company and its subsidiary are exposed to the risk of increased interest rates, especially those associated with the cost of the Interbank deposit certificates (CDI), in connection with payables related to derivative transactions (currency hedge) and by loans denominated in Reais. As a way to minimize this exposure, the Company contracted swap transactions in Reais, from CDI to fixed-interest rates, in a total reference value of R$109.5 million. The balance of financial investments, indexed to the CDI, also neutralizes this effect partially.
Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiary are also exposed to the risk of fluctuation of the TJLP, in connection with the loans obtained from BNDES. These transactions amounted to R$667,843 at March 31, 2008. The Company and its subsidiary have no transactions with derivatives contracted to cover the TJLP risk.
At March 31, 2008, the subsidiary had US$52,480 referring to the loans and financing involving floating foreign interest rates (LIBOR), that are protected against fluctuation in interest rates (LIBOR) by means of derivatives (interest rate swap).
Exchange Rate Risk
The Company and its subsidiary have contracted financial transactions with derivatives so as to protect themselves against exchange rate fluctuations affecting their loans and other liabilities in foreign currencies. The instruments generally used are swap and forward contracts
The table below summarizes the net exposure of the Company and its subsidiaries to the exchange rate factor at March 31, 2008:

b) Market Value of Financial Instruments
The market value of loans, financing and debentures, as well as of swap contracts, was established on the basis of discounted cash flow, by using projections of interest rates available.
Market values are calculated at a specific time based on available information and own evaluation methodology. Consequently, the indicated estimates do not necessarily represent market realizable values. Use of different assumptions may significantly affect estimates.
27. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Company and its subsidiary, together with other companies belonging to the former Telebras System, sponsor private pension plans and medical assistance plans for retired employees, as follows:
a) PBS-A: multi-sponsored defined benefit plan, designed for participants already assisted as of January 31, 2000.
b) PAMA: multi-sponsored medical assistance plan for retired employees and their dependents, at shared cost.
The plans PBS-A and PAMA are administered by the Fundação SISTEL de Seguridade Social – SISTEL.
c) PBS-Telesp Celular, PBS-TCO, PBS Tele Sudeste and PBS Tele Leste Celular: defined retirement benefit plans sponsored individually by the Company.
The contributions to the PBS plans are determined on the basis of actuarial studies prepared by independent actuaries, in accordance with standards in force in Brazil. The costing determination system is that of capitalization and the contribution due by sponsors is 13.5% on their participating employees’ salaries, of which 12% are designed for the costing of the PBS plans and 1.5% to the PAMA plan.
d) TCP Prev and TCO Prev Plans: Individual plans - defined contribution and variable contribution - instituted by SISTEL in August 2000. In both plan types, the Company supports participants’ death or disability risk amounts, while in the TCO Prev plan some participants originally enrolled with the PBS-TCO plan are entitled to life retirement benefits (paid-up benefit), besides the benefits of defined contribution. The contributions of the Company to the TCP Prev and TCO Prev plans match those of participants, ranging between 1% and 8% of the contribution salary, according to the percentage chosen by participant.
e) Benefit Plans Visão Celular- Celular CRT, Telerj Celular, Telest Celular, Telebahia Celular and Telergipe Celular: defined contribution individual plans, established by Sistel in August 2000. Company’s contributions to Visão Celular plans match those of participants, ranging between 0% and 9% of contribution salary, according to participant’s choice.
f) Defined Benefit Plan: “CRT” sponsored defined benefit pension plans (founding member benefit plan and alternative benefit plan), which were managed by Fundação dos Empregados da Companhia Riograndense de Telecomunicações - FCRT.
On December 21, 2001, “CRT” and Brasil Telecom S/A, sponsors of FCRT, signed a statement of commitment with a view to completely canceling any link between the sponsors, by the withdrawal of “CRT” as a sponsor, with the guarantee that this withdrawal be made strictly in accordance with applicable legislation and respecting participants rights, which was approved by the Supplementary Pension Department at December 30, 2003.
On July 31, 2007, “CRT” passed on R$20,001 to the FCRT, finishing its participation to this plan of benefits, disentailing thus of any obligations and future contingencies.
On February 02, 2007, the process for transferring the administration of Sistel Social Security Foundation plans to Visão Prev - Society of Supplementary Pension was approved, as follows: PBS Telesp Celular, TCPPrev, PBS Tele Centro Oeste Celular, TCOPrev, PBS Telesudeste Celular, Visão Telerj Celular, Visão Telest Celular, PBS Teleleste Celular, Visão Telebahia Celular, Visão Telergipe Celular and Visão Celular CRT.
The eleven plans sponsored by the subsidiary were gradually transferred to Visão Prev until December 31, 2007, while on May 2, 2007, the transfer of the plans assets occurred.
On August 21, 2007, Vivo-Prev plan regulation was approved. Vivo Prev is an individual plan under the defined contribution system, which has already been managed by Prev Vision Supplementary Pension Company. The Company’s contributions to Vivo-Prev plan match the ones made by the participants, varying from 0% to 8% of the contribution salary, according to the percentage chosen by participant.
On March 1, 2008 a plan migration process started up, in which the participants of old plans may choose to migrate to the new VivoPrev plan. This migration process is expected to occur until May 31, 2008.

30. AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS (ADR) PROGRAM
On November 16, 1998, the Company started trading ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under code “TCP” and since March 31, 2006 under code “VIV” (in accordance with the decision by the Special Shareholders’ Meeting of February 22, 2006), with the following main characteristics:
31. Changes in preparation and reporting of financial statements
On December 28, 2007 Law N°11,638, was approved by the President of the Republic of Brazil. This law makes amendments and revokes provisions of Law No. 6404 of December 15, 1976 and Law No. 6385 of December 7, 1976.
The requirements of the Law are effective for financial statements reported for the fiscal years ended on or after January 1, 2008, including the following changes applicable to publicly held companies:
(I) in the preparation of the financial statements, the records of accounting adjustments made exclusively to meet the accounting standards, are nontaxable or nondeductible;
(II) in certain business combinations, assets and liabilities shall be accounted for at market value;
(III) periodic evaluation of the recoverability of amounts recorded under fixed and intangible assets;
(IV) leased assets shall be recorded under property, plant and equipment;
(V) certain financial assets shall be measured at market value;
(VI) some assets and liabilities must be adjusted to their present value, especially those under long term arrangements; and
(VII) investments in affiliates on whose management the company has a significant influence or in which they hold 20% or more of the voting capital (not of the total capital as before), in subsidiaries, and in other companies that are of a same group, or that are under common control, shall be measured by the equity method.
Although Law No. 11638 is already in force, the main changes it introduced depend on regulations yet to be issued by regulatory bodies to be fully implemented by companies.
Accordingly, in this transitional phase, by means of its Communication to the Market dated January 14, 2008, CVM allowed the provisions of Law No. 11638/07 not to be applied to preparation of the Quarterly Information (ITR).
As a consequence, the Company’s management is currently assessing the effects that Law No. 11638/2007 will produce on its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008, and it will take into consideration the guidelines and definitions to be issued by regulatory bodies. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, management understands that the effects of these changes in the Quarterly Information presented cannot yet be determined.
32. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 3, 2008, the Company announced to its shareholders and the general public, according to CVM Instruction No 358/02 that as of that date, the equity control of Telemig Celular Participações SA (and, indirectly, of Telemig Celular SA) and Tele Norte Participations SA (and, indirectly, of Amazonia Celular SA) was transferred to the Company, under the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement entered into between the Company and Telpart (the “Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement with Telpart”). The conditions set forth in the Agreement have been met and the respective price has been paid.
As of that date, the Company sold the entirety of the 1,292,679 common shares and 3,715 preferred shares of Tele Norte Participações purchased from Telpart to Telemar Norte Leste, for the same price and conditions set out in the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Telpart as mentioned in Note 1.
The price for the 7,258,108 common shares and 969,932 preferred shares of Telemig Participações paid on April 3, 2008, already including the remuneration provided for in the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Telpart, is R$1,162,594,377.44, equivalent to the amount of approximately R$151.17 per common share and R$67.43 per preferred share of Telemig Participações purchased interest. The prices paid for the shares of Telemig Participações result in the amount of approximately R$2,625.04 per share of Telemig Celular.
Additionally, the Company acquired Telpart’s rights to subscription of shares to be issued by Telemig Participações and Tele Norte Participações as a result of the option provided in CVM Instruction No. 319/99, at the already restated amounts under the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Telpart, of R$70,511,214.94 and R$22,610,739.14, respectively, and sold to Telemar Norte Leste as of the same date, rights to subscribe for shares to be issued by Tele Norte Participações, at the same amount paid by the Company to Telpart for its acquisition.

As particularly regards Telemig Participações, the VPO will be extended to holders of preferred shares underlying the American Depositary Shares (ADSs “) (“ Maximum Number of Shares “).
