2.  Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

Effective June 1, 2002, a revised policy of customer loyalty was implemented, consisting of changing equipment out under accommodation contracts after only 18 months.

These investments are accounted for under the equity method which recognizes the investee's share of income on an accrual basis.

(v)  Operating revenues:

The Company's revenues are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile.

These amounts are recorded under Trade Accounts Receivable.

(w)  Foreign currency future contracts:

The Company has entered into future foreign currency contracts, which represent a hedge against the variation in the exchange rate of its obligations in foreign currency.

These instruments are valued in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 57 of the Chilean Accountants Association.

The rights and obligations acquired are detailed in Note 24, reflecting in the balance sheet only the net right or obligation at period end, classified according to the maturity of each contract under Other Current Assets or Other Creditors, as applicable.

(ab)  Statement of cash flows:

For the purposes of preparing the Statement of Cash Flows according to Technical Bulletin No. 50 of the Chilean Accountants Association and Circular No. 1,312 of the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, the Company considers mutual funds, securities under agreements to resell and time deposits maturing in less than 90 days as cash equivalents.

(1)    During September 2002, Telefónica Empresas sold and transferred 25% ownership in Sonda S.A.. This operation meant disbursements on the part of the purchasing companies, implying for Telefónica Empresas a net effect on income (loss), amounting to ThCh$ 1,889,316, product of proportional extraordinary amortization of goodwill in relation to the percentage sold and to the difference between the book value of the investment and the amount received. Once this transaction was carried out, Telefónica Empresas had a 35% holding in that company.

Additionally, on September 26, Telefónica Empresas signed an agreement with Inversiones Santa Isabel Limitada, which granted it an option to sell 35% of Sonda, which it could exercise between July 16 and 25, 2005, at the book value of the investment as of June 30, 2005, plus a bonus of UF 142,021, with a minimum value of UF 2,048,885. In case Telefónica Empresas does not exercise such option to sell, between July 26 and August 5, 2005, Inversiones Santa Isabel Limitada has an option to purchase the same 35% of Sonda, under the same conditions as above.

Likewise, Inversiones Santa Isabel Limitada can exercise the option to purchase in advance between July 26 and 31, 2003, at the book value on June 30, 2003, plus a bonus of UF 96,000, with a minimum price of UF 1,983,185, or between July 26 and 31, 2004, at the book value of June 30, 2004, plus a bonus of UF 119,000 with a minimum price of UF 2,003,260.

On July 29, 2003, Telefónica Empresas became aware of the decision of Inversiones Santa Isabel Limitada, to anticipate and exercise the purchase option for the remaining 35% of Sonda S.A. This transaction meant a disbursement on the part of the purchasing company of ThCh$ 33,388,363 (historical), implying an effect on income, before taxes amounting to ThCh$ 6,999,276, historical (ThCh$ 5,683,065 net of tax effect).

(2)    On April 26, 2004, Compañía de Telecomuniciones de Chile S.A., sold to Telefónica Publicidad e Información S.A. all its participation in Impresora y Comercial Publiguías S.A., amounting to 9% of capital stock. The price of the transaction was US$ 14,760,000, equivalent to Ch$ 9,013 million, with positive income after taxes of Ch$ 4,940 million. (see note 21a)

(3)    The Company records its investment in TBS Celular using the equity method since it exercises significant influence through the business group to which it belongs, as established in paragraph No. 4 of Circular 1179 issued by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance and ratified in Title II of Circular 1697. Although Telefónica CTC Chile only has a 2.61% direct participation in TBS Celular, its Parent Company, Telefónica España directly and indirectly has a percentage exceeding 20% ownership of the capital stock of that company.

As of the date of these financial statements there are no liabilities for hedge instruments assigned to foreign investments. The Company has the intention of reinvesting net income from foreign investments on a permanent basis, therefore there is no net income that is potentially remittable.

27.  Contingencies and restrictions:
a)  Lawsuits:
(i)  Complaints presented by VTR Telefónica S.A.:

On June 30, 2000, VTR Telefónica S.A. filed an ordinary suit for the collection of access charges in the amount of Ch $ 2,500 million, based on the differences that would originate from the lowering of access charges rate due to Rate Decree No. 187 of Telefónica CTC. First instance sentence accepted the complaint of VTR and the compensation alleged by Telefónica CTC. The Company filed a motion to vacate and appeal, which is currently underway.

(ii)  Labor lawsuits:

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

To date, among others, there are labor proceedings involving former employees, who claim wrongful dismissal. These employees did not sign termination releases or receive staff severance indemnities. On various occasions, the Supreme Court has reviewed the sentences handed down on the matter, accepting the thesis of the Corporation, ratifying the validity of the terminations.

There are, in addition, other lawsuits involving former employees, whose staff severance indemnities have been paid and their termination releases signed, who in spite of having chosen voluntary retirement plans or having been terminated due to company needs, intend to have the terminations voided. Of these lawsuits, to date, two have received a sentence favorable to the Company, rejecting the annulments.

Certain unions have filed complaints before the Santiago Labor Courts, requesting indemnities for various concepts.

In the opinion of Management and their internal legal counsel, the risk that the Company will be condemned to pay indemnities in the amount claimed in the previously mentioned lawsuits, in addition to other civil and labor suits where the Company is the defendant, is remote. Management considers it unlikely that the Company's income and equity will be significantly affected by these loss contingencies. As a consequence, no provision has been established in relation to the indemnities claimed.

(iii)  Complaint against Chilean government:

Upon extinction of the administrative avenues available to correct alleged illegalities incurred in setting rates, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. filed an indemnity lawsuit for damages against the Government.

The lawsuit for US$274 million, plus readjustments and interest, covers past and future damages until May 2004, due to lower mandated rates than those that should have legally 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 its defense arguments for which the discussion period has ended, the Court of Justice dictated the writ of evidence, defining the pertinent, substantial and disputed evidence, which began the evidential stage, with declarations made by witnesses and presentation of documents by both parties.

27.  Contingencies and restrictions, continued:

Once the evidential proceeding was concluded, the expert testimonies requested by the parties began. The Court designated the experts to testify on the different technical matters. On April 2 and June 17, 2004, the first expert reports were presented relating to the overdue status of the fixed telephone-mobile telephone access charges and the optimum location of the switching stations.

(iv)  Manquehue Net:

On June 24, 2003, Telefónica CTC Chile filed a forced compliance of contracts complaint with damage indemnity before the mixed arbitration court of Mr. Victor Vial del Río against Manquehue Net, in the amount of Ch $3,647,689,175 in addition to costs incurred during the proceeding. Likewise, and on the same date, Manquehue Net filed a compliance with discounts complaint (in the amount of UF 107,000), in addition to an obligation to perform complaint (signing of a 700 services contract).

(v)  Purchase agreement for the shares of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A.:

The Ordinary Meeting of the Board of Directors of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. held on May 18, 2004, with the abstention of Mr. Alvarez Pallete approved acceptance of the offer made by Telefónica Móviles S.A ("TEM") for the purchase of 100% of the shares of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A., subsidiary of Telefónica CTC Chile and the calling of an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

The price offered by TEM for the purchase of 100% of the shares of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. is US$1,007 million which will be paid in cash on the closing date of the transaction. Likewise, TEM will pay the debt that Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. has with Telefónica CTC Chile upon completion of the transaction. As of March 31, 2004, that debt amounted to US$ 243 million.

The sale is conditioned on the approval by shareholders at the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Telefónica CTC Chile, which will be held on July 15, 2004 and on approval by the corresponding creditors. As indicated in note 31c), the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved the mentioned transaction, subject to the taxes generated being paid by the purchaser.

b)  Financial restrictions:

In order to carry out its investment plans, the Company obtained financing in the local and foreign market (notes 14, 15 and 16), which establish among others: maximum debt clauses that the Company may have, interest and cash flows coverage.

The maximum debt ratio for these contracts is 1.50, whereas the interest coverage ratio cannot be less than 4.00 and lastly the cash flow ratio must be equal to or greater than 0.166.

Non-compliance with these clauses implies that all the obligations included in these financing contracts will be considered as due.

As of June 30, 2004 the Company meets all the financial restrictions with the exception of the covenant for which a waiver is mentioned in note 31d.

28.  Third party guarantees:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    HIGHLIGHTS

Results for the Period and Figures for the Corporation's Business

As of June 30, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile recorded consolidated net income of Ch$ 9,833 million, figure that shows an 18.8% increase in relation to net income obtained during the first half of the previous year (Ch$ 8,274 million).

Telefónica CTC Chile's operating income of Ch$ 44,967 million, is 26.0% lower than the Ch$60,749 million reached in the first half of 2003.

This effect is due to a 0.9% increase in operating income and a 5.7% growth in operating costs. In this respect we should emphasize among the main effects the 20.7% growth experienced by the cellular telephone customer portfolio during the first half of 2004, equivalent to 468,823 customers, the cost of attracting which is reflected in income for the first half of 2004.

In addition, it should be noted that operating income includes (at a provision level) the effect of the rate decree that will com into effect from May 6, 2004 until May 6, 2009, notwithstanding that it is in the process of being informed to the Contraloría General de la República.

Non-operating income during the first half of 2004, shows a deficit of Ch$ 20,043 million, which is 43.8% less than the deficit during the same period of the previous year, of Ch$35,646 million, derived mainly from a drop in financial expenses associated to a lower level of debt and better financing conditions together with a decrease in goodwill amortization expenses, the positive effect of price-level restatement and an increase in other non-operating income. This was partly compensated by lower financial income and an increase in the level of other non-operating expenses.

In respect to operating business figures, as of June 30, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile's fixed telephone lines in service reached 2,397,404, presenting a decrease of 6.6% in relation to June 30, 2003. ADSL customers in service increased to 164,513 with a growth of 95.4% in relation to the previous year. Cellular telephone customers increased to 2,738,580 with a growth of 40.8% in comparison to 2003. Long distance business traffic increased by 4.7% in domestic long distance (DLD) and 6.3% in outgoing international long distance (ILD), reaching 337 million minutes and 34 million minutes, respectively. The ATM link services to corporate customers increased by 2.2%, and dedicated IP links grew by 44.2%.

As of June 30, 2004, the Company's staff reached 4,680 which represents a decrease of 0.9% in comparison to June 2003.

Decrease in Financial Debt

Telefónica CTC Chile has continued to improve its debt level through amortization of loans, renegotiation of current credit rates and terms and also through the global drop in interest rates. As of June 30, 2004, the indebtedness ratio, measured as the relation between current liabilities and shareholders' equity recorded a level of 0.92, figure that compares favorably with the ratio of 0.99 recorded in the same period the previous year. As of June 30, 2004, the financial debt reached Ch$907,932 million, reflecting a decrease of 8.2% in relation to the nominal financial debt of Ch$ 989,125 million recorded as of June 30, 2003. The decrease in indebtedness levels together with the improved financing conditions and the drop in the value of the dollar translated in turn into downturn of 34.3% in financial expenses in 2004.

Organizational Restructuring

In the framework of the business restructuring that the Company has been undertaking, during the second quarter of 2004, Telefónica modified its executive structure in accordance with the changes experienced in the market and the telecommunications business in Chile.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Sale of Participation in Publiguías

On April 26, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile sold to Telefónica Publicidad e Información S.A. all its participation (equivalent to 9% of capital stock) in Sociedad Impresora y Comercial Publiguías S.A. The price of the transaction was US$ 14.8 million, equivalent to Ch$9,013 million, with positive income after taxes of Ch$ 4,940 million.

Shareholders of Telefónica CTC Chile Approve Sale of Telefónica Móvil

The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on July 15, 2004, approved the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile to Telefónica Móviles (TEM), with 69.1% approval of the shares issued and paid. The level of approval of the shares present at the Meeting was 73.8%.

The shareholders approved selling the subsidiary for a total of US$ 1,250 million, which is composed of US$ 1,007 million for the value of the shares, with the purchaser paying for the tax derived from the operation up to a maximum of US$ 51 million; and payment of the debt that Telefónica Móvil de Chile has with Head Office, which as of March 31, 2004 amounted to approximately US$ 243 million. The selling price will be adjusted by the increase in that debt, from the date of the letter of offer to the closing date. The transaction will materialize once the purchaser accepts what was approved by the Meeting. This transaction's effect on income under the terms approved at the Meeting, would generate net income of approximately US$ 470 million.

In addition to this matter, the Meeting approved distribution of a dividend of US$ 0.626856 per share, with a charge to retained earnings. On another hand, at meeting held on June 14, 2004, the Board approved payment of an interim dividend of US$ 0.208952 per share, with a charge to net income for 2004. Both dividends total approximately US$ 800 million and will be paid in their equivalent in Chilean pesos as of August 31, 2004.

In third place, the Meeting approved the modification of the Investment and Financing Policy, eliminating all reference to the assets of Telefonica Móvil de Chile.

Payment of the dividend and modification of the Investment and Financing Policy are subject to the signing of the respective contract and cash payment of the price.

Tariff Setting Process for Telefónica CTC (Local Telephony)

On March 5, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and Economy; Development and Reconstruction submitted the Report on Objections and Counterproposals to the Tariff Study presented by Telefónica CTC Chile on November 6, 2003. Telefónica CTC Chile requested the formation of an Experts Commission, which was officially constituted on March 12. The Experts Commission issued its report on April 2, making a pronouncement on the inquiries made by Telefónica CTC Chile.

On April 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile presented to the Ministries the Report on Modifications and Insistence on the Tariff Study, incorporating the recommendation of the Experts Commission and insisting on those matters that were not the object of inquiries.

On May 4, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and Economy; Development and Reconstruction dictated Tariff Decree No. 169 which they submitted for recording by the Contraloría General de la República together with the supporting report.

On June 2, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. made two presentations to the Contraloría General de la República within the process of recording Tariff Decree No. 169. The first presentation denounces manifest mathematical errors in Decree 169, requesting that the controlling organization order these to be corrected. The second presentation includes the legal objections relating to conceptual aspects that have an impact on the definition and scope of the services included in the decree. In both presentations the Company expressly reserves the right to take jurisdictional actions.

53




Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Entel, Chilesat and Telmex filed a complaint with the Contraloría General de la República against tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to scaling of access charges and the criteria for cost assignation of the different tariff.

To date, the Contraloría General de la República has not made a pronouncement on Tariff Decree No. 169 and the complaints formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. and by the telecommunications companies indicated above.

Tariff Flexibility

The Official Gazette of February 26, 2004, published Decree No. 742, of December 24, 2003, issued by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, which establishes the regulations that govern, without restrictions as to levels or structure, the conditions under which various plans and joint offers can be offered by the dominant operators of the local telephone public service.

The tariff flexibility allows Telefónica CTC Chile to offer its customers various commercial plans, adhering to the general framework for the application of the flexibility that must be defined by the authority, without requiring authorization for each plan. Telefónica CTC Chile requested that the authority dictate the corresponding regulation in this respect.

Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. began commercializing different local telephone service plans, in order for the interested public to be able to opt for an alternative that is different to the rates defined by the regulator.

Tariff Setting Process for Mobile Telephone Interconnection

On January 20, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and Economy, Development and Reconstruction, by means of a decree set the levels, structure and mechanisms for indexation of services subject to tariff setting. That decree was submitted (with the supporting report) for recording by the Contraloría General de la República.

On April 12, 2004, the Contraloría General de la República recorded the decrees that set the rate for access charges for mobile telephony companies. The tariff decrees were published in the Official Gazette on April 14, 2004.

Inquiry on Purchase of Bellsouth.

Telefónica Móvil S.A., subsidiary of Telefónica S.A. presented to the Court of Free Competition an inquiry regarding the contract denominated "Stock Purchase Agreement" dated March 5, 2004, signed with Bellsouth Corporation, by which it acquires all the telephony assets of the latter in Central and South America, among which is its indirect full ownership of Bellsouth Chile S.A., current mobile telephony operator in the Chilean market.

Several companies in the area, among them, Telmex, ENTEL, Chilesat and Smartcom filed complaints before the Court of Free Competition against Telefónica Móviles S.A., Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A., Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. and Bellsouth Comunicaciones S.A. to prevent the merger of the last two companies. The Company and its subsidiary have not been notified of these complaints.

In a timely manner, both the Company and its subsidiary will present to the Court of Free Competition the answers to the mentioned complaints.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

3.    ANALYSIS OF INCOME FOR THE PERIOD

3.1    OPERATING INCOME

As of June 30, 2004, operating income reached Ch$ 44,967 million which represents a 26.0% decrease in respect to the first semester of the previous year.

Operating income incorporates the effects of the growth of the cellular telephone customer portfolio, as shown in the following table:


  Consolidated   Mobile   Consolidated without Cellular
  2003 2004 Variation 2003 2004 Variation 2003 2004 Variation

Income
  60,749     44,967     -26.0   7,590     (4,080   C.S.     53,159     49,047     -7.7

Operating Income

Operating income for the period amounted to Ch$404,937 million, an increase of 0.9% in relation to 2003.

This variance originated mainly in the 15.2% growth in income from mobile services, the 21.1% increase in other local telephone services, an 18.2% increase in access and interconnection charges and 2.6% higher income from corporate communications. This was partly offset by an 11.8% decrease in local fixed and variable income revenues and an 11.3% drop in income from long distance services.

Revenues from Local Telephone Services:    Revenues from Basic Telephone Service decreased by 12.2% in respect to the previous year. The variation experienced by this revenue is mainly derived from the 7.5% decrease in the level of fixed charge, corresponding to the fixed monthly charge for network connections. That drop is explained by the decrease in lines in service, partly offset by the provision for the effect of the application of the new rate decree. Variable income decreased by 16.5% in respect to the previous year, due to a reduction of 8.2% in the number of average lines in service, to the drop in traffic per line and the provision for the effect of the application of the new rate decree.

Consolidated revenues from access charges and interconnections increased by 18.2%, due to a 50.7% increase in income from other charges and interconnection charges, offset by the 6.9% and 20.3% decrease in domestic and international long distance access charges, as a consequence of the 16.3% and 28.1% drop in interconnection charges, respectively. The net increase for this concept is partly due to recognition of higher income from the provision for the effect of the application of the new rate decree.

Other Local Telephone Services increased by 21.1% due to higher income equivalent to 10.3% for commercialization of equipment and a 70.3% increase in other services, especially due to the contribution of the increase in ADSL broad band services, which has translated into revenues that are 163.1% higher than in 2003. This was partly offset by an 8.1% decrease in value added services.

Long Distance:    Revenues from these services decreased by 11.3% in comparison to 2003, due to a decrease of 12.8% and 9.5% in revenues from DLD and ILD, respectively, situation that was influenced by a decrease in average outgoing long distance prices, in spite of a 4.7% growth in

57




Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

ILD and a 6.3% growth in outgoing ILD. Media and circuit rentals show decreased revenues equivalent to 12.1% in relation to the first quarter of 2003.

Mobile Communications:    Total revenues from this business increased by 15.2% in relation to 2003, mainly due to the 32.1% growth experienced in the average mobile customer base, partially offset by the drop in average revenue per subscriber, due to the application of the rate decree. It should be noted that these revenues include regulated calling party pays revenues for incoming traffic to mobile telephones.

Corporate Communications:    This business revenue shows a 2.6% increase in respect to the previous year, due to a 3.1% growth in commercialization of networks and advanced telephony, notwithstanding the transfer of the Internet connections business management to Telefónica Internet Empresas, whose income is included in Other Businesses and a 2.3% increase in data and circuits.

Other Businesses:    This revenue showed a 5.9% increase mainly due to a 6.0% increase in maintenance of inside telephone installations and a 9.6% increase in other businesses mainly explained by the increase in "telemergencia" service, Internet connection services and "Telepeajes".

Operating Costs

Operating costs of Ch$ 359,970 million for the period increased by 5.7% compared to 2003.

This effect is explained by a 4.7% increase in operating costs due to a 3.7% increase in salaries, whereas depreciation shows a 3.0% decrease, mainly derived from the drop in the level of investments made by the corporation. Other operating costs increased by 15.3% mainly due to an increase in the mobile telephony business associated to its growth, which has fundamentally translated into an increase in its cost of equipment sold.

Administration and selling costs increased by 8.8% in relation to the first quarter of the previous year, mainly due to the increase in the costs of the mobile telephony business associated to the growth in its activity.

3.2    NON-OPERATING INCOME

Non-operating income obtained in the first half of 2004 shows a deficit of Ch$20,042 million, figure that is lower than the same period in 2003 of Ch$ 35,646 million. The change in non-operating income is broken down as follows:

Financial income shows a drop of 22.0%, mainly due to lower national and international interest rates and less available funds, destined to decrease the Corporation's financial debt.

Other non-operating income shows an increase of 14.6% derived mainly from net income on the sale of its participation in Publiguías recorded in 2004, whereas in 2003 the level of this income was less mainly due to the higher market value of Terra Networks shares and fines and indemnities from suppliers.

Financial expenses decreased by 34.3% in 2004, mainly associated to lower interest bearing debt, renegotiation of rates of current loans, the drop in market interest rates and the effect of the drop in the exchange rate.

Other non-operating income increased by 26.5%, due mainly to restructuring costs recorded in 2004, which were greater than the main costs recorded in 2003 for staff severance indemnities and expenses associated to lawsuits and provisions.

Price-level restatement recorded net income of Ch$ 2,834 million, whereas during the same period the previous year it recorded a loss of Ch$ 318 million, partly due to the influence of the positive

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

CPI recorded in the first half of 2004. It should be noted, that a 100% hedge has been maintained for exchange rate fluctuation and 81% hedge for interest rate. The Company's exchange rate (peso-dollar) hedge policy in great measure was able to neutralize the effects of the exchange rate variation in 2003 and 2004.

3.3    NET RESULT FOR THE YEAR

The net result showed net income of Ch$ 9,833 million, in comparison with net income of Ch$8,274 million in 2003. The result obtained in the period derives from the 26.0% decrease in operating income, offset by a 43.8% decrease in non-operating deficit, whereas income tax decreased by 9.8% in relation to the previous year.

4.    RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA

Local Telephone Business:    Presented a net loss of Ch$ 3,168 million in the period, situation that represents a decrease of Ch$ 15,577 million in the loss with respect to the previous year.

Long Distance Business:    Presented net income of Ch$9,459 million, a 30.2% decrease in relation to the previous year. This variation is composed of a drop of 15.7% in operating income and non-operating income, situation which is partly offset by lower taxes.

Corporate Communications Business:    This business contributed net income of Ch$8,556 million, a 22.9 % increase in relation to 2003 which shows net income of Ch$6,957 million, since operating income is 15.4% higher than the previous year, whereas non-operating deficit decreased by 98.2%.

Mobile Business:    The mobile business shows a loss of Ch$7,978 million for the period, whereas in 2003 it showed net income of Ch$4,230 million. This effect is mainly due to a 16.5% increase in operating income, and the effect of the 28.5% increase in operating costs due to the strong growth it has maintained.

Other Businesses:    The businesses as a whole generated net income of Ch$2,964 million and net operating income of Ch $ 6,084 million in the period, whereas during the same period the previous year they recorded a net loss of Ch$889 million and operating income of Ch$2,279 million. These businesses mainly include Internet connection services, public telephone services, maintenance and installation of basic telephone equipment and the business of telemergencia and shared services.

The following table shows the contribution of each business area to the corporate results:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The common liquidity ratio shows a decrease due to a 19.9% increase in current assets, whereas current liabilities increased by 40.9% in respect to the previous year.

The debt ratio decreased due to lower levels of financial liabilities in relation to January – June 2003.

7.  EXPLANATION OF THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARKET OR ECONOMIC VALUE AND THE BOOK VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS
  Due to market inaccuracies regarding the capital assets of the sector, there is no economic or market value that can be compared to the respective accounting values. However, there are certain buildings with a book value of zero or close to zero, which have a market value, which compared to the book value is not significant in respect to the 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 less than the book value.
8.  REGULATORY ASPECTS
  Fixed Telephony Tariff Decree
  Decree No. 187 is in effect as of May 5, 1999. It establishes maximum tariffs for Telefónica CTC Chile for local telephone services and interconnection services for a period of 5 years, which expires on May 4, 2004.
  The main services subject to regulation of tariffs are: Telephone Line Service (formerly fixed charge), Local Measured Service, Local Tranche, Access Charges, Communications Service from Public Telephones and Network Unbundling Services.
  In relation to the procedure to be followed for setting tariffs for services subject to tariff regulation, on January 13 of this year, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. requested that the Resolutive Commission decree freedom of tariffs in specific geographic areas, that they define telephone services which will be subject to tariff regulation in areas where the market conditions are not sufficient to guarantee a freedom of tariffs regime and that they determine that Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. has the right to offer alternative tariff plans without prior authorization.
  Together with the tariff setting process of Telefónica CTC Chile, Subtel began the rate setting process for public services provided by Entelphone in Easter Island and the tariffs for interconnection services (access charges) provided by Entelphone, CMET, Telesat and Manquehue Net.
  On April 30, Telefónica CTC presented to Subtel its Technical Economic Bases for the Tariff Setting Study for the services provided by Telefónica CTC Chile to other public telephone concessionaries, to intermediate services concessionaries, which provide long distance telephone services, and to suppliers of complementary services.
  On May 20, 2003, the Resolutive Commission dictated Resolution No. 686 which defines the services subject to rate setting by the Ministries of Economy and Transport and Telecommunications, which are similar to those established for the 1999 – 2004 period. The mentioned Resolution No. 686 rejects the petition for freedom of rates for the specific primary zones requested by Telefónica CTC Chile, and in relation to the request for rate flexibility, informed favorably by the Regulator, the Resolutive Commission did not make a specific pronouncement in spite of the fact that most of its members were in favor of making a pronouncement, whereas the rest of the members considered that such matters did not correspond to that Commission. By request from Telefónica CTC Chile, the Resolutive Commission clarified Resolution No. 686, dictating to this effect Resolution No. 709, which disposed that

63




Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  notwithstanding the rate setting by the administrative authority, the dominant companies could offer lower rates or different plans under the conditions defined by the respective authority.
  On May 30, 2003, Subtel submitted to Telefónica CTC Chile the Preliminary Technical Economic Bases. Telefónica CTC Chile formulated 84 controversies to the Preliminary Technical Economic Bases of Subtel and requested the formation of an Experts Commission as established in the law and in the Regulations that govern the procedure, advertising and participation of the rate setting process.
  The Experts Commission was officially formed on June 17, composed of experts designated by Telefónica CTC Chile and Subtel, and issued its report on July 17, 2003, making a unanimous pronouncement on all the controversies, with the exception of only one of these which was by majority.
  On July 25, 2003, Subtel dictated Exempt Resolution No. 827 of 2003 which sets the Final Technical Economic Bases that will govern the rate study to set the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services provided by Telefónica CTC Chile that are subject to rate setting.
  Entelphone, CMET, Manquehue Net and Telesat did not formulate controversies to the Preliminary TEB. Consequent with the above, Subtel dictated the Final Technical Economic Bases for the respective companies.
  On November 6, 2003 Telefónica CTC Chile, presented the Rate Study that sets the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services subject to rate setting.
  On March 5, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and Economy, Development and Reconstruction submitted the Report on Objections and Counterproposals to the Rate Study. Telefónica CTC Chile requested the formation of the Experts Commission, which was officially formed on March 12. The Experts Commission issued its report on April 2, making a pronouncement on the inquiries made by Telefónica CTC Chile.
  On April 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile submitted to the Ministries the Report on Modifications and Insistence of the Rate Study, incorporating the recommendations of the Experts Commission and insisting on those matters that were not the object of inquiries.
  On May 4, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction dictated Rate Decree No. 169 which they submitted together with the supporting report to the Contraloría General de la República for the recording process.
  On June 2, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. presented to the Contraloría General de la República two presentations within the recording process of Rate Decree No. 169. The first denounces manifest mathematical errors included in Decree 169, requesting that the controlling organization correct them. The second presentation formulates legal objections relating to conceptual aspects that have an impact on the definition and scope of the services included in the decree. In both presentations the Company expressly reserves the right to take jurisdictional actions.
  Entel, Chilesat and Telmex filed a complaint with the Contraloría General de la República against Rate Decree No. 169, objecting to scaling of access charges and the criteria for cost assignation of the different rates.
  To date, the Contraloría General de la República has not made a pronouncement on Rate Decree No. 169 and the complaints formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. and by the telecommunications companies indicated above.
  Tariff Flexibility
  By means of Resolution No. 709 of October 13, 2003, the Resolutive Commission decided to: "Accept the request on fs 476 of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A., only in respect

64




Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  to that it is necessary to clarify Resolution No. 686, of May 20, 2003, recorded on fs. 440, in the sense that the resolution implies that the market conditions are not present to authorize tariff freedom, therefore a maximum rate must be set. Lower tariffs or plans may be offered, but the conditions of these, which protect and provide due guarantees to the user from those in dominant positions in the market, must be regulated by the respective authority."
  The rate flexibility allows Telefónica CTC Chile to offer its customers various commercial plans, other than plan regulated by the authority, as per the conditions defined for these purposes by the respective authority.
  The Official Gazette of February 26, 2004, published Decree No. 742, of December 24, 2003, issued by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, which establishes the regulations that govern, without restrictions as to levels or structure, the conditions under which various plans and joint offers can be offered by the dominant operators of the local telephone public service.
  Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. began commercializing the different plans for local telephone public service, so that the interested public can opt for an alternative that is different to the rate structure defined by the regulator.
  Mobile Telephone Tariff Decree
  Decree No. 97 is in effect as of February 12, 1999. It establishes maximum rates for Telefónica Móvil for interconnection services, including Mobile Access Charges, for a period of five years, which expires on February 12, 2004.
  Since the expiration of the five-year period of current regulated rates is nearing, on January 10, 2003, Telefónica Móvil 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 Tariffs of the mobile telephone public service concessionaire.
  On July 25, 2003, Telefónica Móvil presented the Rate Study to set the tariffs for services subject to tariff setting.
  On November 22, 2003, the Report on Objections and Counterproposals to tariffs proposed for Telefónica Móvil S.A. for services subject to tariff setting was informed. Telefónica Móvil S.A. requested the formation of an Experts Commission in this respect, which was formed on December 2, 2003, to make a pronouncement on the controversies stated by the concessionary Telefónica Móvil S.A. for services subject to tariff setting for the five-year period from 2004 – 2009. On December 20, the Experts Commission submitted the report to the parties.
  On December 22, 2003, Telefónica Móvil S.A. presented the Report on Modifications and Insistence, incorporating the pertinent modifications on the one hand, and on the other, justifiably insisting on the values presented in the Tariff Study, enclosing the report of the Experts Commission.
  On January 20. 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction, by means of a decree set the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services subject to tariff setting. That decree was submitted for recording by the Contraloría General de la República, together with the supporting report.
  On April 12, 2004, the Contraloría General de la República recorded the decrees that set the tariffs for access charges for mobile telephony companies. The tariff decrees were published in the Official Gazette of April 14, 2004.
  Lawsuit Against the State of Chile
  Upon extinguishing the administrative instances to correct the illegalities involved in the tariff setting, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. filed a lawsuit for damages against the State of Chile.

65




Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  The lawsuit for US$274 million, plus readjustments and interest, covers past and future damages until May 2004, resulting from having to charge lower tariffs 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.
  Having concluded the evidence stage, the stage of expert testimony requested by the parties began. The Court designated the experts to inform regarding matters of a technical nature. On April 2 and June 17, 2004, the first expert reports relating to the delay of the access charges for fixed-mobile calls and the optimal locations for switching stations.
9.  ANALYSIS OF MARKETS, COMPETITION AND RELATIVE PARTICIPATION
  Authorization of the merger only if certain During 2003 the sector showed strong dynamism in the mobile telephony and Internet broadband markets, in contrast with the stagnation in the fixed network voice communication, long distance and narrow band Internet business. As of the second half of 2004 the tendencies are maintained but there are signs of recovery in the ILD market due to the increase in the economic activity.
  In the competitive environment, during the second half of 2004, there were no relevant changes in the relative participation of the operators of the various businesses except for an increase in Telefónica CTC Chile's broadband market share.
  Among the relevant competitive events, the highlight is that in mid April 2003, AT&T Latin America, owner of AT&T Chile, filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Law of the United States to reorganize its operations. This concept derived in a private auction in October 2003 which was awarded to Telmex which assumed the operations in the first quarter of 2004. At the end of April 2004, Telmex announced the acquisition of Chilesat Corp (third long distance operator), which took place in June 2004. After the operation Telmex is owner of 99% of Chilesat.
  Another relevant event that occurred at the end of 2003, is the control takeover of the management of United Global Com, full owner of VTR Chile, by Liberty Media, in turn owner of 50% of Metrópolis Intercom in partnership with the Claro Group. After this operation, announced on January 5, 2004, Liberty requested that the Central Preventions Commission (current Free Competition Court, TLC) analyze the possibility of merging VTR and Metrópolis Intercom. Both companies concentrate 98% of the cable TV market in Chile (88% of pay TV) and relevant competitors in the broadband market through providing of cable modem. Likewise, VTR is the second local telephony operator in the country. On June 9, 2004 the Fiscalía Nacional Económica issued its report to the Court of Free Competition recommending restrictions of a partnership, distribution of contents, prices and quality of service nature are met. The Fiscalía also recommends opening of the cable network broadband to other ISP. The TLC must make a pronouncement on the authorization of the merger without a defined term.
  Local Telephone Service
  This market contemplates providing local telephone services inside the primary areas, interconnection with other telecommunications companies and other unregulated local services. Incorporation to this market is regulated by concessions awarded by the Undersecretary of Telecommunications of the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications (SUBTEL).

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 the dollar and euro fluctuations on its results. The percentage of interest bearing debt exposure is defined and continuously reviewed, basically considering the volatility of the exchange rate, its trend, and the cost and availability of hedging instruments for different terms.
  The main hedging instruments used are dollar/UF and dollar/peso exchange insurance.
  As of June 30, 2004, the interest bearing debt in original currency expressed in dollars was US$ 1,432.9 million, including US$ 969 million in financial liabilities in dollars, US$ 224.9 million in debt expressed in "unidades de fomento", US$ 155.1 million of debt in euros and US$ 83.9 million of debt in pesos. In this manner US$ 1,124.1 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, dollar/peso exchange insurance and assets in dollars that resulted, as of June 30, 2004, in close to zero exposure to foreign exchange.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  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 March 31, 2004, 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 Forward Rate Agreements (which protect the Libor rate), to limit the future fluctuations of interest rates. As of June 30, 2004 this has allowed the Company to end with an exposure of 38% of the total interest bearing debt in original currency.
