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

To the President of the Board, 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 September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine-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 September 30, 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.

(b) Basis of preparation:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile (“Chilean GAAP”) and standards set forth by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities Insurance (“SVS”). In the event of any discrepancies in these regulations, SVS regulations supersede Chilean GAAP. Certain accounting practices applied by the Company that conform to Chilean GAAP may not conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) or International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). For the convenience of the reader, these financial statements have been translated from Spanish to English.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30 and December 31 of each year are prepared in order to be reviewed and audited, respectively, in accordance with current legal regulations. The Company voluntarily submits the quarterly financial statements as of March 31 and September 30 to an interim financial information review performed in accordance with regulations established for this type of review, described in Generally Accepted Auditing Standard No. 45 Section No. 722, issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants.

(c) Basis of presentation:

The consolidated financial statements for 2006 and their notes have been adjusted for comparison purposes by 4.7% in order to allow for comparison with the 2007 consolidated financial statements. For comparison purposes, certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 consolidated financial statements.

(d) Basis of consolidation:

These consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, income and cash flows of the Parent Company and subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated, and the participation of minority investors has been recorded under Minority Interest (Note 20).

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 September 30, 2007 and 2006, for initial balances, is 5.1% and 2.5%, respectively.

(f) Basis of conversion:

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

 
YEAR  US$  EURO  BRAZILIAN JPY  UF 
      REAL     
           
2007  511.23  729.29  279.36  4.45  19,178.94 
           
2006  537.03  680.99  247.54  4.55  18,401.15 
           

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 either the actual interest yield determined at the purchase date or market value, whichever is less.

(i) Inventory:

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

Inventory that is expected to be used within twelve months of their acquisition are 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 through 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 of 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 8.20% .

The estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:

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

(m) Leased assets:

Leased assets with a purchase option, where the contracts satisfy the characteristics of a financial lease, are recorded in a manner similar 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 the Company exercises the purchase option, such assets 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 (Note 13).

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 (Note 13).

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 originating from adopting the equity method and adjusting the cost of investments, or from the realization of new acquisitions. Goodwill and negative goodwill amortization periods have been determined taking into consideration aspects such as the nature and characteristics of the business and the estimated period of return on the investment (Note 12).

(p) Transactions with repurchase agreements:

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

(q) Bonds and promissory notes payable:

•  Bonds payable are recorded 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).

•  Promissory notes are recorded 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 and 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%, taking into consideration assumptions concerning 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 (Notes 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, being reflected in the balance sheet as only the net right or obligation at period end and 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.

(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:

In this shareholders’ equity reserve account, the Company recognizes the difference between the variation in the exchange rate and the consumer price index (C.P.I.) originated in the restatement of its investment abroad and its goodwill, which are controlled in United States dollars. The balance of this account is recognized as 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 in accordance with 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 operations and all those not defined as resulting from investing or financing activities are included under “Cash Flows from Operating Activities”.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

(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 net receivable and payable for each counterparty where the legal right to offset exists under “Accounts Receivable” or “Accounts Payable,” as applicable.

3. Accounting Changes:

During the periods covered in these interim consolidated financial statements, the accounting principles have been consistently applied.

(1) This amount corresponds to the cost (net of amortizations) of the 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 for the year 2006, which includes the rate mentioned in Note 2 (s) 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 recorded under Other Current Assets (Note 8)

The difference generated 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 2s).

(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 on, among other considerations, the accrued balances of staff severance indemnities at the date of the grant. The short-term portion is recorded 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 attempted administrative recourse determining that it had “carefully evaluated the viability and timeliness of the petition made, taking into consideration the set of concurring circumstances set forth in the motion together with the prudence that must orient public actions,” adding that the rejection “had no other motivation apart from protecting the general interest and progress of the telecommunications services”.

After administrative attempts to correct the errors and illegalities involved in the tariff setting process of 1999 came to the end discussed above, in March 2002, Telefónica Chile filed a lawsuit against the State of Chile, claiming damages of ThCh$ 181,038,411, plus readjustments and interest, which covers past and future damages through May 2004. The lawsuit is currently awaiting judgment.

ii) Telefónica Chile and Telefónica Larga Distancia filed an indemnity lawsuit against the Government of Chile, claiming damages stemming from the modifications to telecommunications networks as a result of related to work performed on highways by concessionaires 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 by concession under the Concessions Law, and the related damages amount to:

a.- Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.: ThCh$1,929,207
b.- Telefónica Larga Distancia S.A.: ThCh$ 2,865,209

The process is currently in the final judgement stage.

b) Lawsuits:

(i) Voissnet Accusation:

On March 14, 2005, Telefónica Chile responded to the Voissnet complaint filed before the Antitrust Commission for alleged events that in its opinion attempted against free competitions, against development and growth of Internet technology, fundamentally broadband telephony, and access to broadband, by establishing the prohibition to carry voice through the broadband service for access to Internet provided by Telefónica Chile. Voissnet intends for the TDLC to force Telefónica Chile to allow third parties to provide IP telephony through Internet over its ADSL.

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 July 4, 2007, the Supreme Court dictated sentence on the complaint filed by Telefónica Chile, against the sentence of the Antitrust Commission which partially accepted the complaint filed by Voissnet and the requirement of the National Economic Attorney General’s Office (“Fiscalía Nacional Económica”).

The sentence handed down by the Supreme Court reduced the fine from 1,500 to 556 UTA, eliminated whereas clauses 72 to 81 of the sentence of the TDLC, which would allow Voissnet to act without a concession and left in force the whereas clauses that declare that broadband is an unregulated service that does not require concession.

(ii) New Voissnet Complaint:

On July 12, 2007 Voissnet filed a complaint before the Antitrust Commission (TDLC) against Telefónica Chile for alleged cross subsidy in the joint commercialization of its broadband and fixed telephony services, taking advantage of its dominant position in those markets. Telefónica Chile was notified of this complaint on August 20, 2007.

In response, Telefónica Chile requested that the complaint be rejected and that the costs be absorbed by Voissnet, since the packaged voice and broadband offers are due to a competitive dynamic, and the Company has not partaken in monopolistic practices.

After the discussion stage is completed, the Court should dictate the resolution establishing the evidence that must be provided.

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

On June 30, 2000, VTR Telefónica S.A. filed a plenary suit 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 arguing 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 the validity of this contract. VTR’s complaint has been accepted and the requested compensation has been ordered. The Company filed an appeal for annulment which is currently pending before the Court of Appeals of Santiago.

In connection with 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 issued 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 aforementioned 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. The judicial process is currently in the first phase.

(iv) Manquehue Net:

On June 24, 2003, Telefónica Chile filed a lawsuit against Manquehue Net, to be heard by the mixed arbitrator Mr. Victor Vial del Río, requesting economic compensation for breach of contract in the amount of ThCh$3,647,689, in addition to the sums accrued during the proceeding. and requesting that Manquehue Net be forced to comply with the terms of the contract. 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 issued the sentence for the first phase, in which it accepted the complaint filed by Telefónica Chile, condemning Manquehue Net to pay approximately Ch$ 452 million, and at the same time the Court 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.

(v) 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 parties have recently been noticed and the lawsuit is proceeding through the initial stages.

(vi) 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 for reversal was rejected.

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

(vii) Labor lawsuits:

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

To date, there are labor proceedings, among others, involving former employees, who claim wrongful dismissal. These employees did not sign termination releases or receive staff severance indemnities. On various past 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. To date, two of these lawsuits have resulted in favorable judgments for the Company, rejecting the annulments.

28. Contingencies and restrictions, continued:

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

42


(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 2b)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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 representing 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 maximum debt the Company may maintain. The maximum debt ratio 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 September 30, 2007, the Company complies with all financial restrictions.

3. ANALYSIS OF INCOME FOR THE PERIOD

3.1 OPERATING INCOME

As of September 30, 2007, operating income amounted to Ch$43,749 million, which represents a 32.1% decrease with respect to the previous year.

Operating Revenue

The third quarter closing figures present operating income in the amount of Ch$459,585 million, with 0.8% growth in comparison to the previous year, which reached Ch$456,014 million.

The Company’s strategy of focusing on new businesses has allowed us to strengthen our Broadband and Television growth, which together with Flexible Plans, has neutralized the loss of income from Traditional Business, Long Distance and Corporate Communications.

Revenues from Local Telephony Services: Revenues from local telephony services increased 2.40% in comparison to the previous year, mainly due to:

Basic Telephony Service, which decreased 12.0% with respect to the previous period, as a result of the following:

Fixed monthly charge, corresponding to the fixed monthly charge for connection to the network, which decreased by 41.7%, mainly due to the migration of customers to flexible plans.
Variable charge, which decreased by 36.1%, due to the downturn in traffic per line and the migration of customers to flexible plans.
Connections and other installations, which increased by 52.6% with respect to the previous year.
Flexible plans, 16% growth in Flexible Plans, leveraged by migration from Traditional Telephony and capturing new customers, allowed for a growth of Ch$26,970, which assumes an increase of 40.4% in comparison to the previous year.
Value-added services, which decreased by 12.3% with respect to the previous year, mainly due to the drop in average lines in service.

Broadband services show sustained growth, reaching revenues of Ch$73,261 million in the period from January to September 2007, a 55.0% increase over the same period of the previous year, when revenues from these services amounted to Ch$47,271 million.

Access and interconnection charges decreased by 4.8%, mainly due to 17.6% lower income from domestic long distance access charges and 0.3% lower income from international long distance. Other interconnection services decreased by 2.4%, with the highlight being increases in media services rental, information and unbundling services and fixed-fixed access charges.

Other fixed Telephone Services decreased by 14.6%, equivalent to Ch$6,957 million, explained by a Ch$2,707 million drop in internal rental and equipment rental, mainly due to a drop of Ch$1,197 million in income from telephone directory advertisement, Ch$811 million in Telemergencia, Ch$1,850 million in Public Telephones, Ch$600 million in dedicated and switchboard ISP, which was partly offset by a Ch$208 million increase due to higher income from equipment commercialization,

Television: one year after the commercial launch of Pay TV services, TV revenues account for 3.8% of operating income, with Ch$17,413 million for the period from January to September 2007, whereas in the same period the previous year, revenues from these services amounted to Ch$ 860 million.

Long Distance: Revenues from these services decreased by 7.5% in comparison to 2006, due to an 8.4% and 31.9% decrease in DLD and media and circuit rental, respectively. This drop was mitigated by an 8.9% increase in income from International Services.

Corporate Communications: Revenues from the corporate communications business fell 1.1% with respect to the same period the year before, mainly due to a 6.7% drop in revenues from complementary services, together with a 1.7% drop in revenues from terminal equipment and a 2.2% drop in revenues from circuits and others. These decreases were partly offset by a 3.1% increase in revenues from data services.

Other Businesses: Revenues from other businesses declined 24.1%, mainly due to the decrease in revenues from t-gestiona and Fundación.

Operating Costs

Operating costs for the period amounted to Ch$ 415,836 million, increasing by 6.2% in comparison to the same period in 2006, when they amounted to Ch$ 391,606 million. This is mainly explained by costs generated by the new business model of Internet access with the ISP Terra, for ADSL customers, and by the purchase of content for the television business, as well as a 9.7% increase in salary expenses, explained by the Company’s application of the new Subcontracting Law, which requires certain independent contractors to be hired as internal employees. On the other hand, depreciation cost dropped by 3.1% .

3.2 NON-OPERATING INCOME

Non-operating income obtained in the period ended as of September 30, 2007 shows a deficit of Ch$10,126 million, whereas in the previous period it was a deficit of Ch$21,311, which impliea a 52.5% decrease in the deficit. Where:

Financial income increased 44.8%, mainly because in the 2007 period greater volumes of funds were temporarily allocated to financial investments.

Other non-operating income amounted to Ch$ 3,689 million, exceeding the Ch$ 1,347 million recorded in 2006. This is mainly due to higher income obtained on the sale of recovered material.

Financial expenses decreased by 19.6% in 2007, associated mainly to lower financial debt and an improved international risk rating from BAA2 to BAA1.

Amortization of goodwill decreased by Ch$ 797 million with respect to 2006, mainly explained by full amortization of goodwill in Tecnonautica during the first quarter of 2006, due to the restructuring of the Telefónica Chile Group.


Table of Contents

11

Other non-operating expenses amounted to Ch$ 9,139 million, Ch$ 3,847 million less than in 2006. This is mainly due to the cost of personnel restructuring carried out in 2006.

Price-level restatement in 2007 shows a net gain of Ch$ 2,786 million, mainly due to the variations experienced by the CPI, Unidad de Fomento and exchange rate. It should be noted that the Company maintains hedges to cover 100% of exchange rate fluctuations and 84% of interest rate fluctuations.

3.3 NET INCOME FOR THE PERIOD

As of September 30, 2007 net income reached Ch$ 9,948 million, whereas in 2006 net income reached Ch$20,674 million. The lower income obtained in 2007 in comparison to 2006 is derived from a 6.2% increase in operating costs and is partly compensated by a 52.5% decrease in non-operating income, and by the increase in the income tax level.

3.4 RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA

1. Local Telephony Business: Recorded a net loss of Ch$4,025 million as of September 30, 2007, greater than the Ch$2,299 million deficit recorded in the same period in 2006. This is due to lower operating income, generated by a decrease in operating income. This effect is compensated by the lower non-operating deficit, mainly due to recording the cost of the restructuring performed in the first quarter of 2006.

2. Corporate Communications Business: This business contributed net income of Ch$ 3,468 million in the period, a 66.6% decrease in relation to the Ch$10,376 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 September 30, 2007 this business shows net income of Ch$13,513 million, exceeding net income reached in 2006 in the amount of Ch$12,498 million. This variation is mainly produced by greater operating income which was decreased by a deficit in non-operating income obtained during the 2007 period in the amount of Ch$ 335 million.

4. Other Businesses: Other businesses mainly include the services of Telefónica Multimedia, Instituto Telefónica, t-gestiona and Fundación. This group of businesses generated a net loss of Ch$ 3,007 million, whereas in the same period the previous year a net income of Ch$ 294 million was recorded. This difference is due to lower income obtained by Fundación and Instituto Telefónica Chile (formerly Telepeajes).

The positive net variation of cash and cash equivalents of Ch$20,441 million in cash flows for the period from January to September 2007, compared to the negative variation of Ch$77,828 million in 2006. This is because during 2007 less cash flows were destined to financing activities, because no payments for obligations with the public were recorded during the 2007 period. In addition greater cash flows were obtained from operating activities, effect that was compensated with the allotment of greater cash flows to investment activities due to an increase in long-term investments.

The key points from the table above are the following:

The common liquidity ratio shows a decrease due to an increase in current liabilities equivalent to 22.8%, due to the increase in accounts payable in comparison to as of September of the previous year, whereas current assets increased by 10.1% .

The increase in the debt ratio is explained by a 2.8% increase in demand liabilities, whereas shareholders’ equity decreased by 6.5%, mainly due to a decrease in stock capital carried out in 2006 and 2007, in order to distribute surplus cash to 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.

7. ANALYSIS OF MARKETS, COMPETITION AND RELATIVE MARKET SHARE

Relevant Aspects of the Industry

As of the third quarter of 2007, development of the following continues: broadband, pay television, growth in the mobile sector, convergence of services and development of wireless solutions.

The consolidation of broadband throughout the country continues with ADSL technology and coaxial cable, reaching over 1,233,000 accesses in September 2007, growth of 26% in comparison to September 2006.

In pay television, the strong growth of the market stands out, with an inter-annual variation of 26% as of September 2007, mainly due to the success of Telefonica Chile’s satellite offer.

In service convergence there has been a consolidation of competition among fixed infrastructure operators with their own services or in alliances with third parties. In this manner almost all fixed operators already have bundled service offers (voice, broadband and TV).

In the wireless solutions area, the main operators have publicly announced their wireless broadband technology prospects. Telmex commercially launched the Wimax service, while VTR declared its intention to extend its coverage for bidirectional services in 2007, also using Wimax technology. Telsur announced recent successes in the installation of its wireless services.

The mobile sector has begun a trend of substantial increases in voice traffic, at both the aggregate and user levels, due to the migration to technological networks with greater network capacities. The operator Claro announced that it finished implementing its new GSM network (with 95% national coverage), Entel began building its 3.5G network, and Movistar is accelerating its migration to the GSM network.

Synthesis of Market Evolution

It is estimated that there were approximately 3.3 million lines in service in the Chilean market as of September 2007, a 0.9% increase in comparison to September 2006. Within fixed voice services, there were decreases of 6.1% in local, 12.3% in DLD and 12.1% in ILD with respect to the previous year.

It is estimated that the mobile telephony market had a total of 14.2 million subscribers as of September 2007, which represents growth of 14% with respect to September 2006.

The Internet market maintains the migration from narrowband to broadband, with a 60% decrease in narrowband connections. Accumulated narrowband traffic from January to September 2007 reached approximately 805 million minutes with a 53% drop in comparison to the same period in 2006. The Broadband market increased by 26% in comparison to the same period in 2006, reaching 1,233,000 accesses.

In Pay Television, Telefónica Chile offers DTH (direct to home) satellite television services. During the third quarter of 2007 it grew by 26% in comparison to September 2006. In addition Telefónica Chile is at the threshold of launching testing of the commercial concept of IPTV (interactive digital television using the broadband network).

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 September 30, 2007, the interest-bearing debt expressed in dollars was US$ 770 million, including US$ 500 million in dollar–denominated financial liabilities and US$ 270 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 second quarter of 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2007, the use of these swaps has allowed the Company to limit its exposure to 17% of the total interest-bearing debt in Chilean pesos.

Modifications of the Regulatory Structure

1. Public consultations carried out by the Undersecretary of Telecommunications for the purpose of modifying the current regulatory framework

- Creation of a Panel de Experts: The purpose of this project is to create a panel of experts, of a technical nature, integrated by seven professionals which will be in charge of resolving litigations and disagreements between the company and the regulator, in order to reduce the judicialization of various rule-making and regulatory processes in the telecommunications sector. The preliminary project submitted for public consultation, proposes, among other things, the matters that will be resolved by the Panel, its attributions and functions, and composition (5 engineers and two attorneys) to be appointed by the Antitrust Commission. The Panel’s costs will be paid by the concessionary companies on a pro rata basis which can consider both the value of its assets as well as the estimated number of discrepancies that affect them and their nature and complexity.

- Modifying the concessionary regime: The purpose of the project is to adjust to the technological improvements reached at a worldwide level to propitiate convergence of networks and services so that network operators and service providers can have a regime that avoids bureaucratic processes to begin their services, replacing the current regime for a registration system unless privative use of the radio-electric spectrum is required. In addition, there is differentiation between network operators and service operators, local DLD separation and DLD multi-carrier is eliminated, it is only maintained for ILD; the freedom to freely define the service zone is modified by establishing that the service zones originally registered in the registry cannot be decreased; Broadband is qualified as a “telecommunications service”, which makes it possible to apply a series of regulations to it; sanctions are increased by increasing fines, the deadline for attending to service supply petitions is reduced from 2 years to 6 months.

- Creating the Superintendency of Telecommunications: The purpose of the project is to separate the competencies related to dictating telecommunications policies for supervision activities and preventive punitive market operation control activities. The preliminary project is under analysis at Subtel.

2. Regulation of public voice services through the Internet

On December 19, 2006, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications carried out a public consultation regarding the regulation project that defines the conditions that must be adhered to by any party interested in providing public voice services through the Internet.

Telefónica Chile S.A. submitted its comments and observations within the deadline.

The Undersecretary of Telecommunications proposed the supreme decree that approves the mentioned regulations, which is in process. As of September 30, 2007, it has not been published in the Official Gazette.

3. Consultation from the Antitrust Commission (TDLC) (“Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia”) regarding 3G

Through publication in the Official Gazette of October 5, 2007, the TDLC reinitiated the consultation process in decree ROL NC No. 198-07, denominated “Consultation from the Undersecretary of Telecommunications regarding participation of mobile telephony concessionaries in public tender for advanced digital mobile telephony”.

Telefónica Chile is analyzing the consultation in order to issue its comments and observations.

4. Terrestrial Digital Television Standard

The Undersecretary of Telecommunications is developing Digital TV field tests which will be performed in 160 homes, to verify the quality of the image of the transmissions of the three digital television standards: DVB; ATSC and ISDB. This program will adhere to the protocol submitted for public consultation.

The Undersecretary of Telecommunications has manifested that the definition regarding the technical standard would be in place ready to be adopted before the end of this year.

Verdict of the Antitrust Commission (TDLC) (“Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia”) in the Voissnet complaint

On July 4, 2007, the Supreme Court dictated sentence in the complaint filed by Telefónica Chile S.A. against the verdict of the Antitrust Commission that accepted the complaint filed by Voissnet S.A. and the requirement of the National Economic Attorney General’s Office (“Fiscalía Nacional Económica”).

The sentence of the Supreme Court reduced the fine from 1,500 Unidades Tributarias Anuales to 556 Unidades Tributarias Anuales; eliminated whereas clauses 72 to 81 of the verdict of the Antitrust Commission that would allow Voissnet to act without a concession and left fully in force the whereas clauses that declare that broadband is an unregulated service that does not require concession.

New Voissnet Complaint

On July 12, 2007 Voissnet filed a complaint before the Antitrust Commission (TDLC) (“Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia”) against Telefónica Chile for an alleged cross subsidy in the joint commercialization of its broadband and fixed telephony services, taking advantage of its dominion in those markets. The mentioned complaint was notified to Telefónica Chile on August 20, 2007.

Telefónica Chile in its answer, requested that the complaint be rejected, with costs, since the packaged voice and broadband offers are due to a competitive dynamic, and they have not incurred in practices that attempt against free competition.

Once the discussion stage is complete, the Court should dictate the resolution that sets the events about which evidence must be presented.
