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

To the Shareholders and Directors of
Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.:

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the three-month periods then ended. These interim financial statements and the accompanying notes are the responsibility of the management of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. The accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements is not an integral part of these financial statements, and therefore this report does not cover this item.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Chile for a review of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to the financial statements and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. The scope of this review is substantially less than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Chile, the objective of which is to express an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statement taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not have the ability to express, and we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review of the interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, we are not aware of any material modifications that are required for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

Andrés Marchant V.    ERNST & YOUNG LTDA.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

(e) Price-level restatement:

The consolidated financial statements have been adjusted by applying price-level restatement standards, in accordance with Chilean GAAP, in order to reflect the changes in the purchasing power of the currency during both exercises. The accumulated variation in the Chilean Customer Price Index (CPI) as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, for initial balances, is 0.2% and -0.3%, respectively.

(f) Basis of conversion:

Assets and liabilities in US$ (United States dollars), Euros, Brazilian Reales, UF (Unidad de Fomento) have been converted to pesos at the exchange rates as of each period end:

 
YEAR  US$  EURO  BRAZILIAN 
REAL
 
UF 
 
2007  539.21  720.00     262.02  18,372.97 
 
2006  526.18  637.56     243.26  17,915.66 
 

Foreign currency translation differences resulting from the application of this Standard are credited or debited to income for the period.

(g) Time deposits:

Time deposits are carried at cost plus UF indexation adjustments, where applicable, and accrued interest as of period end.

(h) Marketable securities:

Fixed income securities and shares are recorded at their price-level restated cost plus interest accrued as of each period end using the actual interest yield determined at the purchase date, or their market value, whichever is less.

(i) Inventories:

Depending on the nature of respective items, equipment held for sale is carried at the lower of either its price-level restated acquisition or development cost or at its market value.

Inventories are exptected to be used during a period of twelve months after their acquisition and classified as current assets. Their cost is price-level restated. The obsolescence provision has been determined on the basis of an analysis of materials with slow turnover.

(j) Allowance for doubtful accounts:

The Allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated on the basis of the aging of such accounts, up to 100% of accounts outstanding for more than 120 days and 180 days in the case of large customers (corporations).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

(k) Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are carried at their price-level restated acquisition or construction cost.

Property, plant and equipment acquired up to December 31, 1979 are carried at their appraisal value, as stipulated in Article 140 of D.F.L. No. 4. Some assets subsequently acquired were subject to a technical revaluation to their appraisal value recorded as of September 30, 1986, as authorized in SVS Circular No. 550. All these values have been price-level restated.

(l) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment:

Depreciation has been calculated and recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The average annual financial depreciation rate of the Company is approximately 8.27% .

The estimated useful lifes are summarized as follows:

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

(m) Leased assets:

Leased assets with a purchase option, whose contracts satisfy the characteristics of a financial lease, are recorded similarly to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, recognizing the full obligation and interest on an accrual basis. These assets are not legally owned by the Company; therefore, until it exercises the purchase option, they cannot be freely disposed of.

(n) Intangibles:

i) Rights to underwater cable:

Rights to underwater cable correspond to the rights acquired by the Company for the use of an underwater cable to transmit voice and data. These rights are amortized over the term of the respective contracts, with a maximum of 25 years.

ii) Software licenses:

Software licenses are valued at their price-level restated acquisition cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life, which does not exceed 3 years.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

(ñ) Investments in related companies:

These investments are accounted for under the equity method, which recognizes the investor’s share of income on an accrual basis. For investments abroad, the valuation methodology as defined in Technical Bulletin No. 64 is applied. Investments in countries deemed to be unstable and whose activities are not an extension of the operations of the Parent Company are controlled in US dollars.

(o) Goodwill:

This account corresponds to the differences originated when adopting the equity method and adjusting the cost of investments, or with the realization of new acquisitions. Goodwill and negative goodwill amortization periods have been determined considering aspects such as the nature and characteristics of the business and the estimated period of return of the investment (Note 12).

(p) Transactions with repurchase agreements:

Purchases of financial instruments including repurchase agreements are recorded as fixed rate instruments and are classified as Other Current Assets (Note 8).

(q) Obligations with the public:

• Bonds payable are presented under liabilities at the par value of the issued bonds (note 17b). The difference between par and placement value, determined on the basis of the actual interest rate for the transaction, is deferred and amortized over the term of the respective bond (Notes 8 and 14).

• Commercial papers are presented under liabilities at placement value plus accrued interest (Note 17a).

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

(r) Current and deferred income taxes:

Income tax is recorded on the basis of taxable net income. Deferred taxes on all temporary differences, tax loss carry forwards that can be realized as future tax benefits, and other events that create differences between the tax and accounting values are recognized in accordance with Technical Bulletins No. 60 and complementary technical bulletins thereto issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants, and with SVS Circular No.1,466 dated January 27, 2000.

(s) Staff severance indemnities:

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

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

(t) Revenue recognition:

The Company’s revenues are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with Chilean GAAP. Since billing dates are different from the accounting close date, as of the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements provisions have been established for services provided and not billed, which are determined on the basis of contracts, traffic, prices and current conditions for the period. These amounts are recorded under Trade Accounts Receivable.

(u) Foreign currency forwards:

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

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

The rights and obligations acquired are detailed in Note 27, 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 Payables, as applicable.

(v) Interest rate coverage:

Interest on loans for which associated interest rate swaps have been entered into is recorded recognizing the effect of those contracts on the interest rate established in such loans. The rights and obligations acquired therein are shown under Other Payables or under Other Current Assets, as applicable (Note 27).

(w) Computer software:

The cost of software purchased is deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over a maximum period of three years and classified as other property, plant and equipment.

(x) Cumulative translation adjustment:

The Company recognizes in this equity account the effect of exchange rate fluctuations and the Consumer Price Index (C.P.I.) resulting from measuring those investments abroad that are controlled in United States dollars. The balance of this account is recognized in income in the same period in which the net income or loss is recognized on the total or partial disposal of these investments.

(y) Statement of cash flows:

For the purposes of preparing the Statement of Cash Flows according to Technical Bulletin No. 50 of the Chilean Association of Accountants and SVS Circular No.1,312, the Company defines securities under agreements to resell and time deposits with a remaining maturity of less than 90 days as cash equivalents.

Cash flows related to the Company’s operatings and all those not defined as from investing or financing activities are included under “Cash Flows from Operating Activities”.

(z) Correspondents:

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

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

(formerly Tecnonáutica S.A.) to Telefónica Chile S.A.

(1) This amount corresponds to the cost (net of amortizations) of the mandatory reserve paid to the Chilean Central Bank and disbursements incurred for foreign loans obtained by the Company to finance its investment plan. The short-term portion is presented under Other Current Assets (Note 8).

(2) With the implementation of new contractual conditions derived from the organizational changes in the Company, there have been a series of studies that allowed, with primary effect in 2004, the modification in the calculation basis for staff severance indemnities of the variable for future service life of employees. After concluding these studies, in 2005, other changes in estimates were incorporated, such as personnel fluctuation rate, mortality of employees and future salary increases and includes the rate change mentioned in Note 3 b (i) for 2006, all determined on the basis of actuarial calculations, as established in Technical Bulletin No. 8 of the Chilean Association of Accountants. The short-term portion is presented under Other Current Assets (Note 8).

The difference at the beginning of the year as a result of changes in the actuarial estimates constitutes actuarial gains or losses, which are deferred and amortized over the estimated average remaining future service life of the employees that will receive the benefit (see Note 2 (s)).

(3) In conformity with the union agreements between the Company and its employees, loans were granted to employees, the amounts and conditions of which were based, among other aspects, on the accrued balances of staff severance indemnities at the date of the grant. The short-term portion is presented under Other Current Assets (Note 8).

The staff severance indemnities provision has been recorded in part at its current value, deferring and amortizing this effect over the years of average remaining future service life of employees that subscribe to the benefit. The loan is presented under Other Long-term Receivables.

28. Contingencies and commitments:

a) Lawsuits against the Government:

i) On October 31, 2001,Telefónica Chile filed an administrative motion before the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Economy, requesting correction of the errors and illegalities in Rate Decree No. 187 of 1999. On January 29, 2002, the Ministries issued a joint response rejecting the administrative recourse, after having “carefully evaluated, only the viability and timeliness of the petition made, considering the set of circumstances that concur in the problem stated and the prudence that must orient public actions”, adding that such rejection “has had no other motivation than to protect the general interest and progress of the telecommunications services”.

Upon extinguishing the administrative instances to correct the errors and illegalities involved in the tariff setting process of 1999, in March 2002, Telefónica Chile filed a lawsuit for damages against the State of Chile for the sum of Ch$181,038,411,056, plus readjustments and interest, which covers past and future damages until May 2004. The process is currently in the judgment stage.

ii) Telefónica Chile and Telefónica Larga Distancia filed a plenary damage indemnity lawsuit against the Government of Chile, claiming damages due to modification of telecommunications networks related to work performed by highway concessionaries from 1996 to 2000.

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

a.- Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.: Ch$1,929,207,445
b.- Telefónica Larga Distancia S.A.: Ch$2,865,208,840

The process is currently in the final judgement stage.

b) Lawsuits:

(i) Voissnet Accusation:

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

On October 26, 2006, the Company was notified of the sentence dictated by the Antitrust Commission, which partially accepted the complaint filed by Voissnet S.A. and the requirement of the National Economic Attorney General’s Office, and fined Telefónica Chile 1,500 Annual Tax Units.

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

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

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

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

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

(iii) Manquehue Net

On June 24, 2003, Telefónica Chile filed a forced contract compliance with damage indemnity complaint against Manquehue Net in the amount of ThCh$3,647,689 in addition to the sums accrued during substantiation of the proceeding, before the mixed arbitration court of Mr. Víctor Vial del Río. Likewise, and on the same date, Manquehue Net filed a complaint regarding compliance with discounts (in the amount of UF 107,000), in addition to an obligation to perform complaint (signing of 700 service contract). On June 5, 2004, following the evidence presentation stage, the arbitrator summoned the parties to hear sentencing.

On April 11, 2005, the Court notified the first instance sentence that accepted the complaint filed by Telefónica Chile, condemning Manquehue Net to pay approximately Ch$452 million and at the same time accepted the complaint filed by Manquehue Net condemning Telefónica Chile to pay UF 47,600.

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

28. Contingencies and restrictions, continued:

(iv) Chilectra and CGE:

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

(v) Protection Motion:

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

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

(vi) Labor lawsuits:

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

To date, 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 judgments handed down on the matter, accepting the argument of the Company and ratifying the validity of the terminations.

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

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

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

(c) Financial restrictions:

In order to develop its investment plans, the Company has obtained financing both in the domestic market and abroad (notes 15, 16 and 17), which establish among other things: clauses on the Company’s maximum debt.

The maximum debt ratio for these is 1.60.

Non-compliance with these clauses implies that all the obligations assumed in these financing contracts would be considered due and payable.

As of March 31, 2007 the Company complies with all financial restrictions.

3. ANALYSIS OF INCOME FOR THE PERIOD

3.1 OPERATING INCOME

As of March 31, 2007, operating income amounted to Ch$12,961 million, which represents a 35.1% decrease with respect to the previous year.

Operating Revenue

Operating revenue for the period amounted to Ch$143,034 million, or a decrease of 1.0% in relation to operating revenue for the same period in 2006 of Ch$144,482 million. This variation was mainly the result of the decrease in revenues from basic and corporate communications services due to lower traffic and revenues recorded in the period

Fixed Telephony Revenues: Fixed telephony revenues decreased 0.04% with respect to the previous year, mainly due to a drop of 14.1% in basic telephony revenues, which resulted from a 37.7% decrease in variable charge revenues. This decrease shows the effect of lower revenues derived from the downturn in traffic per line and migration of customers to flexible plans. Similarly, fixed charge revenues from the fixed monthly network connection charge dropped 44.8% . This change is mainly explained by the incorporation of customers to flexible plans, which grew by 52.5% with respect to the previous year. Consequently, the incorporation of customers to flexible plans contributed positively to income, growing Ch$9,465 million with respect to the previous year. Revenues from connections and other installations are 9.0% below the previous year’s level, whereas value-added service revenues decreased by 22.2%, mainly due to the drop in average lines in service. Other basic telephony service revenues dropped by 24.6% .

Broadband service revenues increased 53.5% in the period from January to March 2007, to Ch$21,716 million, as compared to Ch$14,143 million for the same period the previous year.

Access charges and interconnections decreased by 2.5%, mainly due to 16.0% lower revenues from domestic long distance access charges, offset by a 4.7% increase in revenues from international long distance. On the other hand there was a 0.4% increase in other interconnection services, primarily due to increases in media rental services, information services and unbundling services and fixed-fixed access charges.

Other fixed telephony services increased by Ch$2,500 million, or 16.8%, explained fundamentally by an increase in revenues from satellite television in the amount of Ch$4,228 million. This increase was offset by revenue decreases of Ch$189 million in commercialization of equipment, Ch$830 million in i internal rent and equipment rental, Ch$306 million in advertising in telephone books, Ch$108 million in Telemergencia, Ch$228 million in public telephones and Ch$67 million in switchboard and dedicated ISP.


9

Long Distance: Revenues from long distance services decreased by 3.2% in comparison to 2006, due to a decrease of 6.3% in DLD and a decrease of 27.4% in circuit rentals. However, the decline was offset by a 15.9% increase in ILD revenues.

Corporate Communications: Revenue from corporate communications decreased 3.7% with respect to the previous year, due to decreases of 8.3% in complementary services and 13.9% in circuits and others. This was partly offset by a 6.9% increase in data services and a 3.0% increase in terminal equipment revenues.

Other Businesses: Revenue from other businesses decreased 37.7%, mainly because of lower revenues from the subsidiaries Instituto Telefónica and t-gestiona.

Operating Costs

Operating costs for the period reached Ch$130,073 million, increasing by 4.5% in relation to the same period in 2006, in which they reached Ch$124,524 million. This is mainly explained by costs generated by the change in the way the “Speedy” broadband service is commercialized and by the purchase of content for the television business, which was offset by the 6.6% drop in the salary expenses line and the 0.3% drop in depreciation.

3.2 NON-OPERATING INCOME

Non-operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 amounted to a loss of Ch$6,537 million, compared to a loss of Ch$15,404 million; that is, there was a 57.6% reduction in non-operating loss, where:

Financial income increased 136.5%, mainly because in 2007 a greater volume of funds was temporarily used for financial investments.

Other non-operating income amounted to Ch$1,968 million, which is higher than the Ch$512 million recorded in 2006. This is mainly due to higher income obtained on the sale of recovered material.

Financial expenses decreased by 20.4% in 2007, as a product of lower interest-bearing debt and an improvement in the international risk rating from BAA2 to BAA1.

Amortization of goodwill decreased Ch$781 million in relation to 2006, mainly because of the full amortization of the goodwill of Tecnonaútica during the first quarter of 2006, due to the restructuring of the Telefónica Chile group.


10

Other non-operating income reached Ch$1,569 million, Ch$8,821 million less than in 2006. This decrease is explained by the costs incurred in the personnel restructuring that took place at the beginning of 2006.

Price-level restatement in 2006 shows a loss of Ch$4,434 million, mainly because of a temporary accounting effect related to the difference between the market rate and the contract rate for derivative instruments that are used to hedge exchange rate risk. It should be noted that a 100% hedge has been maintained for exchange rate fluctuation and an 84% hedge for interest rate fluctuation.

3.3 NET INCOME FOR THE PERIOD

The Company recorded net income of Ch$1,053 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to Ch$753 million for the same period in 2006. The higher income obtained in the 2007 period in comparison to 2006 is derived from a 57.6% reduction in non-operating loss , offset by the 4.5% increase in operating costs and by the increase in the level of income taxes.


11

3.4 RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA

1. Local Telephony Business: Recorded a net loss of Ch$5,392 million as of March 31, 2007, compared to the loss of Ch$4,562 million recorded in 2006. The difference is due to lower operating income, generated by a decrease in operating revenues added to an increase in operating costs. The lower operating income was offset by the lower non-operating loss, mainly due to the restructuring costs recorded in the first quarter of 2006.

2. Corporate Communications Business: This business contributed net income of Ch$1,522 million in the period, a 43.5% decrease in relation to the Ch$2,696 million recorded in 2006. The main explanation of the difference was lower operating income, due to the increase in depreciation cost, which was offset by the decrease in the cost of goods and services and by the increase in non-operating income.

3. Long Distance Business: As of March 31, 2007 presented net income of Ch$5,216 million, higher than the Ch$3,278 million recorded in 2006. This variation is produced mainly by improved operating income, complemented by an increase in non-operating income, which amounted to Ch$551 million for the first three months of 2007.

4. Other Businesses: Other businesses mainly include the services of Telefónica Multimedia, Instituto Telefónica, t-gestiona and Fundación. These businesses altogether generated a net loss of Ch$302 million in 2007, whereas during the same period the previous year they generated net income of Ch$598 million. This is mainly due to the startup of operations of the television business through Telefónica Multimedia, in addition to lower income obtained by Fundación and Instituto Telefónica Chile (formerly Telepeajes).

The positive net variation in cash and cash equivalents of Ch$ 36,883 million in cash flows for the period January – March 2007, compared to the negative net variation of Ch$ 9,135 million in 2006, is because in 2007 no cash flows were allocated to financing activities. In addition, greater cash flows were obtained from operating activities. Both effects were offset by the greater cash flows allocated to investing activities due to an increase in long-term investment.

The key points from the table above are the following:

The current ratio increase is the result of a 2.0% drop in current assets and an 18.6% drop in current liabilities. The change in current liabilities is explained by a decrease in financial debt in comparison to March of the previous year.

The decrease in the indebtedness ratio is explained by a 6% drop in the level of demand liabilities, whereas shareholders’ equity decreased by 4.6%, mainly due to the capital reduction in 2006, for the purpose of distributing additional cash to the shareholders.

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

Due to market imperfections regarding the capital assets of the sector, there is no economic or market value that can be compared to their accounting values. However, there are certain buildings with a book value equal or close to zero. These buildings have a market value, but it is not significant with respect to the Company’s assets in the aggregate.

For other assets with a referential market value, such as marketable securities (shares and promissory notes), provisions have been established when the market value is less than the book value.

8. ANALYSIS OF MARKET RISK

Financial Risk Coverage

Due to the attractive foreign interest rates in certain periods, the Company has obtained financing abroad, denominated mainly in dollars and in certain cases at a floating interest rate. Consequently, the Company faces two types of financial risks: the risk of exchange rate fluctuations and the risk of interest rate fluctuations.

Financial risk due to foreign currency fluctuations

The Company has exchange rate hedging instruments. The purpose of these instruments is to reduce the negative impact of fluctuations of the dollar on Company results. The percentage of interest-bearing debt exposure is defined and continuously reviewed, basically considering the volatility of the exchange rate, its trend, and the cost and availability of hedging instruments for different terms.

The main hedging instruments used are Cross Currency Swaps and dollar/UF and dollar/peso exchange insurance.

As of March 31, 2007, the interest-bearing debt in original currency expressed in dollars was US$ 746 million, including US$ 500 million in dollar–denominated financial liabilities, and US$ 246 million of debt expressed in UF. Consequently, US$ 500 million corresponds to debt directly exposed to the variations of the dollar.

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

Financial risk due to floating interest rate fluctuations

The policy for hedging interest rates seeks to reduce the negative impact on financial expenses due to interest rate increases.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had debt at the variable interest rates Libor and TAB, mainly for bank loans.

To protect the Company from increases in the floating interest rates, derivative financial instruments have been used, particularly Cross Currency Swaps (which cover the Libor rate), to limit the future fluctuation of interest rates. As of March 31, 2007, the use of these swaps has allowed the Company to limit its exposure to 16% of the total interest-bearing debt in Chilean pesos.

Public Tender to Grant Wireless Local Public Telephone Concessions on the 3,400 – 3,600 MHz Frequency Band

On September 15, 2005, the companies participating in the public tender called by Subtel to grant wireless local public telephone concessions on the 3,400 – 3,600 MHz band delivered their proposals. The companies participating in the tender were Telefónica Chile, Telmex Servicios Empresariales, MIC Chile S.A. (owned by Telmex Chile) and VTR.

On December 13, 2005, Subtel informed that VTR and Telmex were awarded the concessions to offer wireless local telephone throughout the country, through the preferential rights of both companies.

Telefónica Chile appealed the awarding of the concessions in conformity with the procedure established in the General Telecommunications Law. Additionally on December 27, 2005 Telefónica Chile filed a public law motion to vacate before the 2nd Civil Court of Santiago against the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications and Subtel, requesting that the recognition of the preferential right of Telmex Servicios Empresariales S.A. be declared null. The Court accepted the mentioned complaint for processing. On February 1, 2006, Telefónica Chile presented a complaint before the General Controllership of the Republic, claiming that the provisions for the Bases of the Public Tender to grant concessions are illegal. The Company subsequently desisted from the complaint and withdrew the presentation to the General Controllership of the Republic.

On January 4, 2007 the Official Gazette published the decree granting Telmex the national coverage concession. The decrees granting VTR the concession by region were published in the Official Gazette of March 2, 2007.

Regarding the projects corresponding to Regions XI and XII, the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications communicated that by means of Resolutions No. 64 and No. 65, both of January 20, 2006, it assigned the regional concessions to provide wireless local telephone services in Regions XI and XII to Telefónica Chile, since it was the only bidder.

Modifications of the Regulatory Structure

Commission of telecommunications experts

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


19

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bill modifying the free competition law.

On June 6, 2006, the Government announced a legal initiative that seeks to modify the law on free competition to eliminate the risks implicit in market concentration. This initiative is aimed at taking preventive action and increasing the maximum penalty that the Antitrust Commission may impose from 20,000 to 30,000 Annual Tax Units (US $22 million).
