INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

To the Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors
    of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated balance sheets of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related interim consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended. These interim consolidated financial statements (including the related notes) are the responsibility of the management of the Company. 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. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Chile, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review of the interim consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2004 and 2003, we are not aware of any material modifications that are required for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

The accompanying financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Chile.

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.

(m)  Property, plant and equipment:

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

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

(t)  Income tax and deferred income tax:

Income tax is recorded on the basis of taxable net income.

(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 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 Creditors, as applicable. (The exchange cover insurance premium implicit in the contract is deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the same).

(x)  Interest rate coverage:

Interest on loans for which associated interest rate swaps have been entered into, are recorded recognizing the effect of those contracts on the interest rate established in such loans and the rights and obligations acquired there under are shown under Other Creditors or under Other Current Assets, as applicable (See Note27).

The balance of this account is credited (charged) to income in the same period in which the gain or loss over any total or partial disposition of these investments occurs.

(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.

(ac)  Correspondents:

The Company has current agreements with foreign correspondents, which set the conditions that regulate international traffic, charging or paying the same according to net traffic receivable/payable and the rates set in each agreement.

(1)    On July 29, 2003, Inversiones Santa Isabel Ltda. informed its decision to exercise the purchase option for the remaining 35% of Sonda S.A. agreed upon with Telefónica Empresas Chile S.A.

On August 26, 2003, the Company sold 35% of the shares of Sonda S.A. for ThCh$ 33,388,363, for UF 1,972,206. In this transaction Telefónica recognized a gain of ThCh$6,999,276 before taxes (ThCh$ 5,683,065 net of the effect or taxes).

Telefónica Empresas, does not participate in Sonda S.A. since September 30, 2003, it has only recognized 35% of the net income of Sonda S.A. up to June 30, 2003 as proportional equity value.

(2)    On April 26, 2004, Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. sold its 9% holding in Impresora y Comercial Publiguías S.A., to Telefónica Publicidad e Información S.A. The selling price was US$ 14,760,000, equivalent to Ch$ 9,013 million, with a gain after taxes of Ch$ 4,940 million. (see note 22a)

(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.

  — In turn the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of July 15, 2004, approved the sale of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A., and distribution of a final eventual dividend against retained earnings as of December 31, 2003.

Both dividends, for US$ 800 million, were subject to the closing of the sale of all the shares of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A., event that would be consummated if Telefónica Móviles S.A, accepted the proposal of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting which implied paying the tax derived from the sales transaction, amounting to US$ 51 million.

In the context of the foregoing modification, the Board agreed to distribute an interim dividend (No. 167) out of net income of Ch$130 per share equivalent to ThCh$ 124,430,423 for 2004 and which will be paid on November 4, 2004.

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

On September 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.

28.  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). After completion of the evidence period, on June 5, 2004 the arbiter called the parties together to pronounce a sentence.

b)  Financial restrictions:

In order to carry out its investment plans, the Company obtained financing in the local and foreign market (notes 15, 16 and 17), 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 September 30, 2004 the Company complies with all the financial restrictions.

29.  Third party guarantees:

The Company has not received any guarantees from third parties.

1.    HIGHLIGHTS

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

As of September 30, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile recorded consolidated net income of Ch$ 324,372 million, whereas in the period from January to September of the previous year it recorded net income of Ch$ 9,671 million. 2004 income includes the effects derived from the sale of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A., in July 2004, which produced net income of approximately Ch$ 302,658 million.

Comparison of operating income for 2003 - 2004 was affected by the deconsolidation of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. as of July 2004.

After excluding the effects of Telefónica Móvil from operating income for 2004 and 2003, as detailed below, revenues decreased by 4.0%,whereas operating income increased by 3.5%, which translates into a operating margin of 18.9% with a growth of 1.3 percentage points in comparison with operating margin of 17.6% obtained in 2003.


Operating Income (excluding T. Móvil)
  2003 2004 % Variation
Revenues   448,511     430,418     –4.0
Costs   (215,359   (205,637   –4.5
EBITDA   233,152     224,781     –3.6

Operating Income   78,715     81,493     3.5
Operating margin   17.6   18.9   1.3

Including the effects of Telefónica Móvil, the operating income of Telefónica CTC Chile shows a surplus of Ch$ 77,370 million, 13.7% lower than that reached in the nine-month period ended as of September 30, 2003 in the amount of Ch$ 89,658 million.

It should be noted that revenues includes (at a provision level), the effect of the tariff decree that will come 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 for the period from January to September 2004, shows net income of Ch$ 306,961 million, which compares positively to the loss obtained in the same period of the previous year in the amount of Ch$ 58,805 million, derived mainly from the effects of the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile, and a drop in financial expenses associated with a lower level of debt and better financing conditions.

In respect to operating business figures, as of September 30, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile's fixed telephone lines in service reached 2,398,137, presenting a decrease of 3.6% in relation to September 30, 2003. ADSL customers in service increased by 72,907 or 67.8% in relation to the previous year. Long distance traffic increased by 4.1% in domestic long distance (DLD) and 5.1% in outgoing international long distance (ILD), reaching 501,447 thousand minutes and 50,913 thousand minutes, respectively. The ATM link services decreased by 2.1%, whereas dedicated IP links grew by 38.9%.

As of September 30, 2004, the Company's staff reached 3,874 people (does not include Móviles staff), which explains in part the 18.1% decrease compared to September 2003.

Decrease in Financial Debt

Telefónica CTC Chile has continued to improve its debt level through amortization of loans, renegotiation of credit rates and terms and also through the global drop in interest rates. As of September 30, 2004, the financial debt reached Ch$ 753,586 million, reflecting a 17.9% decrease in relation to the nominal financial debt of Ch$ 918,211 million recorded as of September 30, 2003. The decrease in indebtedness levels together with the improved financing conditions and the drop in the value of the dollar translated into a decrease of 29.2% in financial expenses in 2004.

57




Organizational Restructuring

In the framework of the business restructuring that the Company has been undertaking, during the nine-month period ended as of September 30, 2004, Telefónica modified its executive structure in accordance with the changes experienced in the market and the communications business in Chile.

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 (historical).

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 and the payment of the debt that Telefónica Móvil de Chile had with the Parent Company, with the purchaser paying for the tax derived from the operation up to a maximum of US$ 51 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. At a 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.

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

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

On July 23, 2004, a contract was signed for the sale of the shares of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. to TEM Inversiones Chile Limitada, subsidiary of Telefónica Móvil S.A., under the terms agreed upon at Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on July 15, 2004, in virtue of which on July 28, 2004 TEM Inversiones Chile Limitada paid US$ 1,058 million for the value of the shares plus Ch$ 161,440,964,893 corresponding to the debt that Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. had with Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. as of July 15, 2004. This operation meant for Telefónica CTC Chile recognition of an effect on income (net income) after taxes in the amount of approximately US$ 470 million.

Tariff Setting Process for Telefónica CTC (Local Telephony)

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.

Entel, Chilesat and Telmex filed complaints 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 tariffs.

58




On September 16, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications, Economy, Development and Reconstruction issued their report to the Contraloría General de la República relating to the complaints filed by Telefónica CTC Chile, Chilesat, Entel and Telmex. In this respect, the Ministries informed that due to their review of the tariff model a large part of the mathematical errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile were corrected, notwithstanding that other errors apparently contained in the mentioned tariff decree were also corrected.

In turn, the Ministries defended the scaling of access charges of D.S. 169, stating that such criteria has been taken in conformity with the resolutions of antitrust organizations and those prescribed by the Economic Technical Bases established for this tariff setting process.

Regarding the conceptual aspects claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile impacting the definition and scope of services included in the decree, the ministries rejected them as they rejected the objections of Entel, Chilesat and Telmex.

Last October 4, Telefónica CTC Chile once again appealed to the Contraloría General de la República, in order for them to correct new mathematical errors incurred by the Ministries precisely at the time that they corrected the errors informed by Telefónica CTC Chile. Likewise they insisted on certain conceptual aspects.

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 without requiring authorization for each plan.

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.

Dividends Policy

On September 21, 2004, the Board of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. agreed to modify the policy for distribution of dividends from 30% to 100% charge to net income for each year, by means of an interim dividend in November of each year and a final dividend which will be proposed at the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting. In this context, the Board agreed to distribute an interim dividend charged against 2004 net income, for the total sum of Ch$ 124,430 million in November 2004 (equivalent to US$ 200 million) and subsequently, propose at the Shareholders' Meeting of April 2005, distribution of retained earnings as of December 31, 2004, by means of a final eventual dividend.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

3.    ANALYSIS OF INCOME FOR THE PERIOD

3.1    OPERATING INCOME

As of September 30, 2004, operating income reached Ch$ 77,370 million which represents a 13.7% decrease in respect to the period from January to September of the previous year.

Operating Income

Operating income for the period amounted to Ch$556,062 million, a decrease of 9.7% in relation to the income obtained in 2003 which reached Ch $615,595 million.

This variance originated mainly in the decrease in revenues from mobile services which were 25.0% lower than the level of income reached the previous year, mainly due to the deconsolidation of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. in July 2004, together with a 3.5% decrease in income from fixed telephone services, due to a drop in income from basic telephone services, partly offset by an increase in income from broadband and access and interconnection charges.

Revenues from Local Telephone Services:    This income shows a 3.5% decrease, mainly due to a 10.6% decrease in Basic Telephone Service in respect to the previous year, derived from the 17.5% decrease in the level of variable income, as a consequence of a 7.2% drop in the number of average lines in service, the decrease in traffic per line, the provision for the effect of the application of the new rate decree and the migration of customers to flexible plans. Fixed monthly charge, corresponding to the fixed monthly charge for connection to the network, decreased by 5.7% mainly explained by the decrease in lines in service and the incorporation of customers to flexible plans, partly offset by the provision for the effect of the application of the new rate decree. Income from connections and other installations dropped 36.3% in respect to the previous year. Flexible plans for minutes offered to customers as of 2004 reached Ch $2,401 million, whereas value added services decreased by 8.1% due in part to the drop in the number of lines in service and the migration of customers to advanced equipment. Other basic telephony services dropped by 9.0%.

The above was partly compensated by the contribution of broadband services which have shown a sustained growth in the last few periods, reaching Ch $17,568 million in 2004 while income from these services in the last year was Ch$ 9,220 million.

Access charges and interconnections increased by 28.4%, mainly due to an 11.7% increase in income from domestic long distance access charges together with a 48.3% increase in other interconnection services.

Other Fixed Telephony Services increased by 4.1%, equivalent to Ch$1,504 million explained fundamentally by the Ch$ 1,450 million growth in income from the telemergencias service (security services) that reached Ch$ 4,852 million in 2004 whereas the previous year it amounted to Ch$3,402 million and an 8.7% increase in income from directory advertising.

Long Distance:    Revenues from these services decreased by 7.0% in comparison to 2003, due to a decrease of 10.6% and 8.7% in DLD and ILD, respectively, situation that was influenced by a decrease in average outgoing long distance prices, in spite of a 4.1% growth in DLD traffic and a 5.1% increase in outgoing ILD traffic. The above is partly offset by media and circuit rentals which show an increase of 5.8% in relation to the period from January to September 2003 due to the deconsolidation of Telefónica Móviles de Chile as of July 2004.

Mobile Communications:    Total revenues from this business decreased by 25.0% due to the deconsolidation of this business due to the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. in July 2004, although the period from January to June showed an increase in relation to 2003, mainly due to the growth in the average mobile customer portfolio.

62




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

Corporate Communications:    This business revenue shows a 1.8% increase in respect to the previous year, due to a 17.8% increase in data together with a 3.9% increase in complementary services, partly offset by the 15.8% drop in revenues from commercialization of terminal equipment and a 6.6% drop in revenues from circuits and others.

Other Businesses:    This revenue shows a 38.9% decrease mainly due to the deconsolidation of Istel as of September 2003.

Operating costs

Operating costs for the period reached Ch$ 478,692 million, decreasing by 9.0% compared to 2003, in which they reached Ch$ 525,937 million. Notwithstanding, after excluding the effects of Móviles, consolidated operating costs reached Ch$ 349,342 decreasing by 5.5% in relation to 2003.

This effect is explained by a decrease in depreciation levels, associated to a decrease in the Corporation's investments. Additionally there is a decrease in costs due to the efforts made in the efficient use of resources applied by the Company in the last few periods.

3.2    NON-OPERATING INCOME

Non-operating income obtained in the period from January to September 2004 shows a surplus of Ch$306,961 million, figure that positively compares to the non-operating deficit of the same period in 2003 of Ch$58,805 million. The change in non-operating income is broken down as follows:

Interest income shows an increase of 18.0%, mainly due to a greater volume of available funds, which were transitorily destined to financial investments.

Other non-operating income amounted to Ch $ 471,688 million, mainly due to the sale of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile together with the sale of the participation in Publiguías recorded in 2004, whereas in 2003 this level of income was less, among the main concepts being the greater value of the price of Terra Networks shares in the market, the sale of 35% participation in Sonda and compensatory indemnities.

Interest expenses decreased by 29.2% 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.

Amortization of Goodwill shows a Ch$119,427 million increase in relation to 2003, mainly due to amortization of the sale of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile.

Other non-operating income increased by 7.6%, derived mainly from restructuring costs recorded in 2004 exceeding the main costs recorded in 2003.

Monetary correction in the period from January to September 2004, mainly shows the effect of greater funds available corresponding to the sale of Telefónica Móvil, recording a gain net income of Ch$ 11,189 million, exceeding by Ch$ 10,223 million that obtained in the same period the year before, which amounted to Ch$ 967 million. It should be noted that a 100% hedge liabilities has been maintained for exchange rate fluctuation and a 70% hedge for interest rate fluctuations. The Company's exchange rate (peso-dollar) hedge policy in great measure was able to neutralize the effect of the exchange rate variation in 2003 and 2004.

3.3    NET RESULT FOR THE YEAR

Net result showed net income of Ch$ 324,372 million, in comparison with net income of Ch$ 9,671 million in 2003. The result obtained in the 2004 period derives mainly from non-operating income of Ch$ 306,961 million obtained in 2004, partly offset by a 13.7% decrease in operating income and the income tax increase, due mainly to the gain obtained in the sale of Telefónica Móvil.

4.    RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA

Local Telephone Business:    Recorded net income of Ch$306,406 million in the period, situation that positively compares to the loss of Ch$ 11,302 million recorded the previous year, due to improved non-operating income that mainly picks up on the effect of the sale of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. which generated an approximate gain of Ch$ 302,658, whereas operating income decreased by 6.3%. Net income from this business excluding the effects of Telefónica Móvil shows net income of Ch $ 3,748 million.

Long Distance Business:    Presented net income of Ch$13,855 million, a 21.5% decrease in relation to the previous year. This variation is composed of a drop of 11.1% in operating income, and a non-operating loss that contrasts with the surplus recorded in 2003.

Corporate Communications Business:    This business contributed net income Ch$11,721 million in the period, a 3.4% decrease in relation to 2003 that presents net income of Ch$12,137 million, due to improved operating and non-operating income in 2004 in relation to 2003, but with a greater level of taxes because 2003 had a lower tax load due to the sale of the participation in Sonda.

Mobile Business:    The mobile business shows a loss of Ch$7,978 million in the period, whereas in 2003 it shows net income of Ch$5,963 million. This effect is mainly due to an increase in operating income in the period from January to June 2004, equivalent to 16.5% and the effect of the 28.5% increase in its operating costs due to the strong growth maintained. In July 2004 it was deconsolidated due to the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A.

Other Businesses:    The businesses as a whole generated net income of Ch$368 million and operating income of Ch $ 507 million in the period, whereas during the same period the previous year they recorded a net loss of Ch $14,771 million with an operating loss of Ch $6,246 million. These businesses mainly include teletoll services, technonautics, shared services, operation of other businesses and the effect of the sale of the participation in the ownership of Sonda in 2003.

The following table shows the contribution of each business area to the corporate results, excluding the effect of the sale of Móviles in the basic telephone service business:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  From the previous table, the following is emphasized:
  The common liquidity ratio shows an increase due to an increase in current assets equivalent to 35.6%, due to greater funds transitorily available, whereas current liabilities increased by 16.5% in respect to the previous year.
  The debt ratio increased, mainly due to a decrease in shareholders' equity due to distribution of retained earnings through payment of dividends.
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 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 expired 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, 2003, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. requested that the Resolutive Commission decree tariffs deregulation 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, 2003, 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 tariff 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 tariff deregulation 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

69




Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  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 provided that notwithstanding the tariff 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 tariff 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 Tariff Study that sets the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services subject to tariff 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 Tariff 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 Tariff 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 Tariff 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 Tariff 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 Tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to scaling of access charges and the criteria for cost assignation of the different rates.
  On September 16, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications, Economy, Development and Reconstruction issued their report to the Contraloría General de la República relating to the complaints filed by Telefónica CTC Chile, Chilesat, Entel and Telmex. In this respect, the Ministries informed that due to their review of the tariff model a large part of the

70




Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  mathematical errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile were corrected, notwithstanding that other errors apparently contained in the mentioned tariff decree were also corrected.
  In turn, the Ministries defended the scaling of access charges of D.S. 169, stating that such criteria has been taken in conformity with the resolutions of antitrust organizations and those prescribed by the Economic Technical Bases established for this tariff setting process
  Regarding the conceptual aspects claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile impacting the definition and scope of services included in the decree, the ministries reject them as they reject the objections of Entel, Chilesat and Telmex.
  Last October 4, Telefónica CTC Chile once again appealed to the Contraloría General de la República, in order for them to correct new mathematical errors incurred by the Ministries precisely at the time that they corrected the errors informed by Telefónica CTC Chile. Likewise they insisted on certain conceptual aspects.
  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
  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 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 tariff flexibility allows Telefónica CTC Chile to offer its customers various commercial plans, other than the 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 was 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 would 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 Tariff Study to set the tariffs for services subject to tariff setting.

71




Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  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.
  Classification of complementary services
  By means of Exempt Resolution No. 1319, of October 6, 2004, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications established the categories of complementary services and attributed the numeration to the respective categories of complementary services that the users can access through the public telephone network.
  Public consultation of regulation projects
  The Undersecretary of Telecommunications made public inquiries regarding regulatory projects for unbundling of the network and IP telephony. Telefónica CTC Chile submitted its opinion regarding regulatory proposals for each of the regulatory projects within deadlines.
  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.
  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 were informed.
9.  ANALYSIS OF MARKETS, COMPETITION AND RELATIVE PARTICIPATION
  During the first nine months of 2004 the sector maintains the dynamism that characterizes it, emphasizing acquisitions of operators and changes in the consumption habits of customers.

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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  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 September 30, 2004, the interest bearing debt in original currency expressed in dollars was US$ 1,237.6 million, including US$ 912.7 million in financial liabilities in dollars, US$ 237.3 million in debt expressed in "unidades de fomento" and US$ 87.6 million of debt in pesos. In this manner, US$ 912.7 million correspond to a debt exposed to foreign currencies, and therefore directly and 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 closing of the first quarter of 2004, in close to zero exposure to foreign exchange.
  Financial risk due to floating interest rate fluctuations
  The policy for hedging interest rates seeks to reduce the negative impact on financial expenses due to interest rate increases.
  As of September 30, 2004, the Company had debt 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 September 30, 2004 this has allowed the Company to end with an exposure of 30% of the total interest bearing debt in original currency.
