Letter from the Chairman

Dear shareholders:

In a short time, technological progress has transformed the meaning of many of the concepts that define our sense of place in the world. Distance, borders and limits are no longer what they once were. Terms such as integration, globalization and international engagement have become part of our vocabulary, diluting the static image of an insular Chile bound by its geography, isolated at the uttermost part of the earth.

Within this context, the notion of moving toward a developed world has been transformed from an ideal into an actual obligation. Making the right decisions quickly, sharpening our imagination, our expertise and our competitive advantages have become the challenges of our time.

Telefónica CTC Chile has played a leading role in these changes. As a provider of services that are essential to communications, productivity and education, contributing to the growth of our country ranks high among our Company’s priorities.

Developing and leading to way to the Information Society in Chile by eliminating the technology gap and extending benefits to all segments of the population was, in 2004, one of our Company’s primary focuses. To further this process, we undertook major efforts in the form of several steps and initiatives:

The new regulations on tariff flexibility, authorizing the introduction of alternatives to the regulated plan, gave both customers and the Company an important tool to enhance competitiveness. This was reflected in the launch of successful plans of minutes and of the Economy and Super Economy lines with both prepaid and postpaid options, and in the joint marketing of some attractive services, such as broadband, home security and plans of minutes. The diversified offering opened markets that were previously, and arbitrarily, off-limits, allowing the Company to halt the drop in the number of lines in service. Reversing two consecutive years of decline in the number of lines, monthly figures began rising on a consecutive basis in the second half of 2004, bringing the total number of lines in service to 2,427,364 by year-end.

Nevertheless, the current regulatory model is showing signs that it has run its course, hindering the development of a communications network like the one our nation requires. In the last four years, the rate of fixed lines per resident has hovered around 20%, while mobile telephony reached 60%.

Our sector’s development requires a regulatory model that encourages profitable expansion in basic infrastructure, while promoting competition between networks, eliminating regulatory imbalance between operators, and providing interconnection rates that allow an adequate return on network investment. These four points constitute the foundation that drives our Company to invest and compete on a level playing field. There is no doubt that we are the company that has gone furthest to promote universal access to the service, even in the most unprotected regions of the country, where Telefónica CTC Chile is the only operator providing services. However, in segments with higher profitability, where numerous competitors participate, the Company is the only operator with regulatory restrictions. The tariff decree for the 2004-2009 period, retains the variables of a model that we believe has outlived its usefulness.

Faced with this reality, the Company has recognized a major source of growth in ADSL broadband, a technology that enhances traditional networks, turning them into true high-speed superhighways. This

business is already bearing fruit, as shown by our 200,794 connections and 60% annual growth at year-end 2004.

In tandem with its broadband strategy, the Company is leading the deployment of hotspots in public places such as universities, airports, shopping centers and restaurants. This has allowed us to set up an expansive, nationwide, high-speed Wi-Fi (wireless broadband) network. The access offering was also expanded, with an agreement between Telefónica CTC Chile and the local operator, Telefónica del Sur, that allows Internet access to users of both companies through the Speedy Wi-Fi and Innet networks. At year-end 2004, its customers had access to 387 hotspots throughout the country.

In September 2004, we showed our commitment to the country once again by being the first Chilean telecommunications company to double the connection speed for all its broadband customers, setting an important precedent in the market.

The sale of the subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. to Telefónica Móviles S.A. of Spain was a major milestone that has strengthened our focus on the fixed telecommunications business.

With the approval of 69% of the Company’s shareholders, this transaction closed at a price of US$1,321 million, which in turn allowed us to distribute an US$800 million dividend to shareholders. The sale also generated an after tax profit of US$470 million (historical).

Furthermore the cash generated by the sale allowed us to reduce debt, significantly improving the Company’s financial position. With fewer mobile business costs and investments, Telefónica CTC Chile ended up in an ideal position for generating high cash flow. This led the Board of Directors to approve a new dividend policy that increased payout from 30% to 100% of annual net income.

The dividends paid during 2004, as part of the Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. transaction and the new dividend policy, resulted in the distribution of 29% of the value of the stock. Over the course of the year, the stock price, which fell 31%, was strongly affected by the uncertainty surrounding the fixed telephony tariff-setting process. Nevertheless, if the dividends are included, the price of the stock decreased slightly by 1.4% with respect to year-end 2003.

Our commitment to our shareholders is matched by a tradition of public service that embraces all of Chilean society. This has always been one of Telefónica CTC Chile’s hallmarks. In 2004, over 3,000 schools, of which 84% are public schools, changed their dial-up Internet connection to broadband. Together with this major technological contribution, we have continued our digital literacy programs for teachers, parents, local leaders and the elderly and have launched a digital literacy itinerant program in collaboration with the Universidad Católica’s Rural Life Foundation and the companies Microsoft and Olidata. This program has been taken to 8 cities, benefiting 67,000 people. Fundación Telefónica has also donated the SICLA software, which allows those unable to speak to communicate by computer.

We have consolidated our leading position in the corporate sector in promoting culture and the arts. In 2004, over 216,000 visitors took advantage of our free national and international art exhibits at our Art Gallery, as well as our traveling exhibits in other Chilean cities.

Letter from the Chairman

I would also like to highlight the consolidation of a new framework for relations with our workers and their representatives. In 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile took another important step in this direction with its market-based compensation system. This represents a significant advance that gives the Company the level of competitiveness it needs to actively participate in the telecommunications service industry.

With respect to 2004 financial results, operating revenues totaled US$1,261 million, representing a 15.6% decline from the previous year, due primarily to the sale of the mobile subsidiary, whose results were deconsolidated as of July 2004. The sale of the mobile subsidiary generated a 16.2% drop in EBITDA, which totaled US$587 million, with a margin of 46.5%. Excluding the mobile business from both periods, EBITDA dropped 5.5%, with a margin of 51.1%.

These proceeds were used for development of the US$151 million investment plan and the payment of dividends totaling US$1,006 million. The Company also continued to pay down its debt, reducing it by US$353 million and ending the year at US$1,087 million of total debt. This decrease included prepayments of US$238 million and amortizations of US$169 million. Along with refinancing, these measures allowed us not only to reduce financial expenses for 2004 but also to improve the Company’s financial position and the debt profile of future maturities.

The operating efforts and greater financial efficiency, along with the profit generated by the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A., resulted in net earnings of US$559 million for fiscal year 2004. Of these earnings, US$400 million has already been distributed, and, in accordance with the current dividend policy, the distribution of the remaining earnings, along with the balance of retained earnings from prior periods, will be submitted for shareholder approval at the next General Shareholders’ Meeting of 2005.

We closed 2004 with an optimistic view of the future, based on the changes we made in our Company. We now have a more flexible, lean, efficient structure that has already delivered results. All this would not have been possible without the trust, support and collaboration of the Company’s shareholders, customers, employees and directors. We remain confident in our ability to face the challenges posed by our industry.

In a globalized world economy, we believe that the benefits of the modern age must reach all citizens. In 2005, we will celebrate our 125th anniversary, and the 15th year our stock has been traded on international markets. We want to celebrate this milestone with our customers, whom we will continue to serve with increasing dedication and commitment to quality. We are a great communications engine; our mission is to grow, and our vocation is to connect people and draw them closer. And it is with this purpose in mind that we will continue our hard work with resolve and a deep sense of responsibility.

History of the Company

 

Telephony systems first became available in Chile in 1880, when Compañía de Teléfonos Edison started operations in Valparaíso. These pioneering efforts, followed by the activities of successor companies, ultimately laid the foundation for Compañía de Teléfonos de Chile S.A. (now known as Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. or Telefónica CTC Chile).

The Company was organized as a corporation in accordance with private law, pursuant to a public instrument executed on November 18, 1930 before Notary Javier Echeverría, and was entered in the Commercial Register of Santiago in 1931. The Company’s Bylaws were approved by Resolution 599 of the Ministry of the Treasury on January 23, 1931 and recorded shortly thereafter.

In 1971, the Company was taken over by the Chilean Government and held until August 1987, when it was privatized through a public offering completed in January 1988. Having acquired a 30% stake in this offering, Bond Corporation Chile S.A. followed through with a capital contribution and further purchases, coming to hold approximately 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock.

In April 1990, Telefónica S.A. (Spain), through its subsidiary Telefónica Internacional Chile S.A., became the majority and controlling shareholder of the Company by acquiring a 50.4% equity interest from Bond Corporation Chile S.A. After completing an issuance of Company shares on the international market, Telefónica S.A. reduced its equity interest in July 1990, when the Company listed its stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). After, some capital increases and the purchase of an additional 1.3% in July 2004, as of December 31, 2004 Telefónica Internacional Chile S.A. holds a 44.9% equity interest in the Company.

 

 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2004

JANUARY

On January 21, Decree No. 37 was issued, setting interconnection tariffs for mobile operators for a five-year term. This decree took effect for the Company’s mobile subsidiary at the time on February 13, 2004, representing an average decrease of 26.5% with respect to current tariffs up to that point (see Regulatory Framework).

FEBRUARY

On February 26, the tariff flexibility provisions approved in October 2003 took effect with the publication of Decree No. 742 of 2003 in the Official Gazette. In the context of this Decree, the regulatory authorities issued regulations setting conditions for dominant fixed telephony operators to offer unregulated plans and joint packages (see Regulatory Framework).

MARCH

On March 5, as part of the tariff-setting process for public telephone (fixed telephony) services for Telefónica CTC Chile, the Office of the Undersecretary of Telecommunications (“Subtel”) issued its Report on Objections and Counterproposals to the Tariff Study filed by the Company on November 6, 2003. In this report, the Regulatory Authorities proposed a decrease in tariffs for regulated services, countering the Company’s proposal which called for a tariff increase (see Regulatory Framework).

APRIL

On April 4, as part of the tariff-setting process for public telephone service, the Company filed its Report on Modifications to and Reiterated Support for the Tariff Study. This Report included the recommendations of an Expert

 

 

2004 Annual Report Telefónica CTC Chile 11

 



 

Commission established under the provisions of the tariff-setting process. The document also reiterated support for those issues not subject to the Commission’s opinion (See Regulatory Framework).

On April 15, Telefónica CTC Chile held its General Shareholders’ Meeting, wherein shareholders approved the payment of a final dividend of Ch$3.20 per share, to be charged to fiscal year 2003. Pursuant to the Company Bylaws, shareholders also held elections for the entire Board of Directors for a three-year term.

On April 26, Telefónica CTC Chile sold its 9% stake in Sociedad Impresora y Comercial Publiguías S.A. to Telefónica Publicidad e Información S.A. (TPI). The price of the transaction was US$14.8 million.

MAY

On May 4, the Company was informed of Tariff Decree No. 169 issued by Subtel, setting maximum tariffs for regulated fixed telephony services for a five-year term. The new rates are to be applied retroactively as of May 6, 2004. However, by the close of fiscal year 2004, the Decree had not yet been published in the Official Gazette due to appeals filed by the Company and other operators. On February 11, 2005, Tariff Decree No. 169 was published in the Official Gazette. (See Regulatory Framework)

On May 18, Telefónica CTC Chile’s Board of Directors agreed to recommend that its shareholders accept the offer made by Telefónica Móviles S.A. (a 92.44%-controlled subsidiary of Telefónica S.A.) to purchase 100% of the Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. stock held at the time by Telefónica CTC Chile. In addition, with a view to adapting the Company to its new business model, the Board of Directors approved a new organizational structure based on enhanced customer service.

JULY

On July 15, Telefónica CTC Chile’s shareholders, acting at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, approved the sale to Telefónica Móviles S.A. (TEM) of 100% of the Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. stock held at the time by Telefónica CTC Chile.

 

This approval was secured by the favorable vote of 69.1% of the issued and paid-in shares. The final price of the sale totaled US$1,321 million. In addition, shareholders acting at the Meeting also approved the distribution of a dividend of US$0.63 per share, to be charged against accumulated retained earnings. The Board of Directors also approved the distribution of an interim dividend of US$0.21 per share, charged against fiscal year 2004 profits. These dividends were paid on August 31.

Additionally, shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Investment and Financing Policy, eliminating the 51% of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. from the Company’s essential assets, as well as any reference to mobile telephony or mobile communications.

On July 20, Telefónica CTC Chile’s Board of Directors approved various changes in the board’s composition. It accepted the resignations of Director and Vice-Chairman of the Board, Mr. José María Alvarez-Pallete and of his Alternate Director, Mr. Juan Claro González. Mr. Narcis Serra was appointed Series A Director and Vice-Chairman of the Board, and Mr. José María Alvarez-Pallete was appointed Alternate Director. In addition, Mr. Guillermo Fernández Vidal resigned from his post as Series A Alternate Director, and Mr. Juan Claro González was appointed as his replacement.

SEPTEMBER

On September 16, Subtel resubmitted Tariff Decree No. 169, as amended, to the Chilean General Comptroller, accepting some of the claims made by Telefónica CTC Chile in its appeal of the document. On October 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed additional objetions to the decree with the Comptroller. (See Regulatory Framework).

On September 21, Telefónica CTC Chile’s Board of Directors amended the Company’s dividend policy, increasing the distribution of dividends to 100% of annual profits and approved to propose to the shareholders the distribution of accumulated retained earnings at December 31, 2004.

Economic Environment and Telecommunications Industry

 

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The Chilean economy, widely recognized as one of the healthiest and most stable in the region, rests on three solid foundations: (i) the credibility and independence of the Central Bank in terms of monetary policies and meeting inflation goals; (ii) a voluntary commitment to a structural surplus, which provides that fiscal deficits may not exceed 1% of GDP; and (iii) the soundness of the country’s financial system, which boasts even lower default rates than some industrialized countries.

The Chilean economy is open to international trade, exporting 30% of its production. 2004 was a record year for exports and balance of trade, due largely to high commodities prices, particularly copper. This has resulted in economic growth of 5.9% for 2004. Likewise, internal demand is expected to have grown by nearly 6.8% under the powerful stimulus of investment, which is estimated to have increased by 11% in 2004.

Annual average unemployment declined from 9.0% in 2002 to 8.5% in 2003, and is expected to reach 8.8% in 2004. Inflation (CPI) in the twelve months ending December 2003 and 2004 amounted to 1.1% and 2.4% respectively, placing monetary policy in an expansion cycle, with a nominal Central Bank interest rate of 2.5% as of January 2005. A current account surplus is expected for 2004, largely due to the high price of commodities. This will make it possible to increase spending above GDP growth rates without upsetting the balance in external accounts.

Under current monetary policy the exchange rate is freely determined, and levels depend on supply and demand in the foreign exchange market. High volatility in the exchange rate (peso/dollar) has been noted in 2004, due primarily to major fluctuations in the price of fuel and mining products. However, the Central Bank has on several occasions indicated that it will not intervene through currency purchases. At year-end 2004, the Chilean peso had appreciated by 6.1% in

 

nominal terms with respect to the US dollar at year-end 2003.

The price of copper used for Budget Act purposes, as forecast by international experts, turned out to be lower than the actual price for 2004. The increased revenues generated by the gap between the actual price and the forecast price were saved or used to pay down debt, in keeping with the Ministry of the Treasury’s self-imposed structural surplus rule. Gross fiscal debt is at 31% of GDP, while net central government debt is at 5.7%; both are among the lowest in the world.

The external accounts are healthy. This assessment is corroborated by the low country risk assigned to Chilean Sovereign Bonds, whose spread has gradually narrowed from close to 170 basis points in 1999 to below 70 basis points in early 2005, both levels being among the five lowest in emerging economies and the lowest in Latin America. The internationalization of Chile is clear from the balance in capital flow levels: With GDP of US$93 billion, foreign debt stands at US$45 billion, Chilean investments abroad are in the order of US$44 billion, and international reserves total US$16 billion. The 2003 trade balance amounted to US$3 billion, and this figure increased to US$9 billion in 2004.

National savings stood at 21% of GDP in 2003, with similar projections for 2004. Investment totaled 21% of GDP in 2003 and is projected to rise to 22% in 2004. Uncertainty in the international markets has not led to any significant drop in net foreign investment in Chile, which reached 0.8% of GDP in 2003 and is estimated at 0.9% for 2004. The influx of foreign capital – especially direct investment – has benefited from the country’s economic stability and Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s risk ratings (A and Baa1, respectively), among other factors. Moody’s maintained its December 2003 rating with a stable outlook and Standard & Poor’s upgraded its rating from A- to A.

estimated 55% of the telecommunications industry’s GDP and 1.0% of national GDP.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY

The year 2004 was a time of major change in the telecommunications industry – with major implications for the industry’s future. These changes include: a new context for competition; new tariff-setting systems; consolidation of new communications technologies; and the start of a new phase of economic development in Chile.

The competitive environment has led to major M&A activity, primarily in the cable operator business, where the top two companies are consolidating and will thus cover nearly 100% of this market, while also becoming a relevant player in broadband and fixed telephony. Meanwhile, in the mobile telephony business, Telefónica Móviles (TEM) acquired Bellsouth in Chile and the mobile subsidiary of Telefónica CTC Chile. Following these events, the antitrust authority approved the merger of these two companies, imposing certain conditions. There was also an increase in competition with the entry of new operators in the market, primarily in the long distance and data transmission businesses.

On the regulatory scene, mobile interconnection tariffs (CPP) were set, as were access charges for the country’s major fixed telephony operators. Additionally, the tariff-setting process was carried out for Telefónica CTC Chile and Telefónica del Sur’s fixed telephony services in the areas where the regulatory agency deemed these companies dominant. Telefónica CTC Chile was also authorized to offer plans other than the regulated plan, within the framework of tariff flexibility (see Regulatory Framework).

On the technology front and in line with the global trend, the GSM standard for mobile communications and the ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and Wi-Fi (Wireless

 

Fidelity) broadband networks were consolidated. The last two led by Telefónica CTC Chile, driving the country further toward the goal of an Information Society.

Industry Developments

It is estimated that 2004 investment in the industry remained stable with respect to 2003 at approximately US$ 550-600 million.

Industry sales in Chile increased by 2.6% in 2004, totaling some US$3,545 million. Sales growth was concentrated in the mobile segment due to increased equipment sales and higher mobile network traffic, as well as broadband services.

The fixed telephony segment is comprised of eight urban and three rural companies operating under license. Market penetration in terms of lines in service stood at 20.8 per 100 inhabitants at December 2004, a slight increase compared to 20.5 in 2003.

The long distance market continued its downward trend, due primarily to the development of mobile telephony and Internet communications. During 2004, International Long Distance (ILD) and Domestic Long Distance (DLD) traffic are estimated to have decreased nationwide by 0.1% and 9.4%, respectively. In this market there are 15 relevant operators offering 18 competing brands.

Corporate communication and data transmission services continue to be highly competitive, with major price pressure and high expectations in terms of service quality. To remain competitive, operators are continuing to migrate their traditional services (ATM, Frame Relay and Datared) to IP networks. As of December 31, 2004, of the nine operators competing in the country’s major cities, three have national infrastructure coverage.

During 2004, total Internet access (broad band and narrow band) grew by 10% to 816,000 connections. The country’s broadband accesses (ADSL, cable modem and WLL) grew to 506,000 connections by year-end 2004, posting a 42% increase, while dial-up access dropped by 20% to 306,000. At December 2004, ADSL broadband connections represented 53% of the country’s total broadband use, outpacing cable modem services. The year also witnessed the deployment of Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) technology, allowing high-speed wireless Internet connections. At December 2004, the number of hotspots in the country is estimated at 490, making Chile the leading Latin American country in the deployment of this technology.

 

The mobile telephony market reached a level of 9.5 million subscribers, up 28.2% over 2003 and with a national penetration of 60 per 100 inhabitants. The mobile market’s continued growth was driven primarily by the new GSM services offering and the marketing of prepaid services, representing 82% of the total market. Four operators are active in this market, using GSM, TDMA and CDMA technologies. Telefónica CTC Chile is no longer active in this market after selling its mobile telephony subsidiary in July 2004.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Tariff System

Pursuant to Law No. 18,168 (“General Telecommunications Act”), prices for public telecommunications services and intermediary telecommunications services are not regulated unless the Antitrust Commission specifically rules that the conditions existing on the market are insufficient to ensure a free pricing system, in which case maximum tariffs for certain telecommunications services must be subject to tariff regulation.

Maximum tariffs for telecommunications services are set every five years. The Antitrust Commission may rule that any telephone service be subject to tariff regulation, except for mobile telephone services, which are expressly exempt under the Telecommunications Act. Furthermore, maximum tariffs for interconnection services (mainly inter-company access fees for network usage), are always by law subject to regulation and are set in accordance with said Act.

Pursuant to the General Telecommunications Act, the structure, level and indexing of the maximum tariffs that may be charged for tariff-regulated services are determined under a joint decree issued by the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Economy, Development and Reconstruction (hereinafter, the “Ministries”). The Ministries determine such maximum tariffs on the basis of a hypothetical efficient company model that considers the essential costs of providing the service.

Regulated Tariffs for Local Telephone Services

Tariff Decree No. 187 was approved and published in the Official Gazette on August 21, 1999, taking retroactive effect on May 5, 1999 for the 1999-2004 five-year period. According to the law, the tariffs set in Decree No. 187, including the indexing clauses, shall remain effective, notwithstanding their expiration, until

 

 

the decree setting tariffs for the 2004-2009 five-year period is published in the Official Gazette. The above shall not, however, prejudice the retroactive application of the new decree, which will take effect as of May 6, 2004, after its publication in the Official Gazette, on February 11, 2005.

In Resolution No. 515 dated April 1998, the Antitrust Commission ruled that local telephone services, payphone service, fixed line connections and other services associated with local telephone service shall be subject to tariff regulation for the period 1999-2004. Accordingly, it was determined that Telefónica CTC Chile would, in its capacity as “dominant operator”, be regulated as to tariff levels and structure throughout Chile, with the exception of Regions X and XI and Easter Island, where other companies are the dominant operators.

Based on the Company’s estimates, enforcement of Tariff Decree No. 187 resulted in a 24.7% drop in annual revenues per line from regulated services, taking into account the reductions in monthly fixed charges, variable per-minute charges, and access charges. This drop included a 72.9% decrease in access charges, which had a direct impact on revenue from interconnection fees paid by interconnected companies, such as long-distance carriers, other local telephony companies, and mobile companies.

The 2004-2009 Tariff-Setting Process for Local Telephone Services

The tariff-setting process for the 2004-2009 five-year period was set in motion on January 13, 2003. On that date, Telefónica CTC Chile approached the Antitrust Commission with a request to introduce qualifications on services subject to regulation. Arguing that market conditions are sufficient to ensure healthy competition, Telefónica CTC Chile asked the Commission to rule in favor of tariff deregulation in specific geographical areas and to allow the Company to offer tariff plans other than regulated plans without requiring prior

authorization. In addition, the Company requested that, in cases where the Commission considers that market conditions cannot ensure competition, it specify which services are to be subject to tariff regulation. In response to this petition, the Antitrust Commission issued Resolution No. 686, denying the Company’s request. Nevertheless it allowed alternative plans to be offered and defined the services to be subject to tariff regulation under the 2004-2009 Tariff Decree, which are essentially the same as those that were regulated under Tariff Decree No. 187 for 1999-2004.

Under Exempt Resolution No. 827 dated July 25, 2003, Subtel issued the Final Technical and Economic Basis, which set forth the general guidelines and calculation methodology to be followed in the Tariff Study.

On November 6, 2003, Telefónica CTC Chile submitted its Tariff Study, which determined the tariff structure, level and indexing formulas for each of the Company’s services associated with local public telephone service and for those services the Company is required to provide to interconnected telecommunications licensees and supplementary service providers.

On March 5, 2004, the Ministries presented their Report on Objections and Counterproposals to the Tariff Study filed by Telefónica CTC Chile. The Company requested the formation of an Expert Commission, which was officially established on March 12. This Commission issued its report on April 2, ruling on the queries posed by Telefónica CTC Chile.

On April 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed its Report on Amendments and reiterated support for the Tariff Study with the Ministries. This report included the recommendations of the Expert Commission and reiterated Telefónica CTC Chile’s support for those aspects not subject to the Commission’s opinion.

 

 

On May 4, 2004, the Ministries issued Tariff Decree No. 169, which they sent together with the supporting report to the Chilean General Comptroller for legislative review.

On June 2, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed two presentations with the Chilean General Comptroller as part of the decree’s legislative review process. In the first, it reported mathematical errors in the decree and requested that the authorities correct them. The second presentation outlined legal objections regarding the conceptual aspects of the decree affecting the definition and the scope of the services included therein. Both presentations expressly reserved the Company’s right to take action before the competent courts.

Other operators in turn also filed claims with the Chilean General Comptroller against Tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to the scaling of costs for access charges and the cost allocation criteria for the various tariffs.

On September 16, 2004, the Ministries presented their report to the Chilean General Comptroller in response to the appeals. As a result of the review of the tariff model, the Ministries corrected many of the mathematical errors claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile and they also made further corrections to the Tariff Decree.

In addition, the Ministries defended the scaling of costs for access charges in Tariff Decree No. 169, indicating that this was done in accordance with the resolutions of the antitrust agencies and pursuant to the Technical and Economic Basis.

On October 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile appealed again to the Chilean General Comptroller in order to request the correction of new mathematical errors introduced by the Ministries when correcting the initial errors indicated by the Company.

 

 

2004 Annual Report Telefónica CTC Chile 19

 



 

At year end and on January 15, 2005, the Ministries resubmitted to the General Comptroller modifications to Tariff Decree No. 169.

On February 11, 2005, Tariff Decree No. 169 was published in the Official Gazette. Telefónica CTC Chile will apply the new tariffs to its customers retroactively as of May 6, 2004.

In addition to the new tariffs, Tariff Decree No. 169 also considers 7 tariff areas compared to 4 in the previous decree, 3 time slots vs. 2 in DT 187, adjustments in the composition of the tariff indexator and a new prepaid tariff. The average variation of the new tariffs with respect to the tariffs from the prior decree is as follows, based on traffic for the year 2003:

 

 

the country. Furthermore, the Commission resolved that Telefónica CTC Chile may submit alternative tariff plans and request additional administrative orders from the agency to supplement Tariff Decree No. 187, allowing for cost-based tariff distinctions within each tariff area for categories of users classified by volume. Based on this, the Company requested approval from Subtel for alternative heavy use plans for residential customers and very heavy use plans for businesses. These plans were approved by decree from the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications.

Under Resolution No. 686, later clarified through Resolution No. 709, the Antitrust Commission unanimously approved Telefónica CTC Chile’s request for telephone tariff flexibility, making it possible for the Company to offer alternative tariff plans within a regulatory framework to be defined by the authorities.

In view of the above, the Ministries issued Decree No. 742, published in the Official Gazette on February 26, 2004, regulating the conditions under which alternative plans and joint offerings may be presented by dominant operators for local public telephone service. Its most significant points are:

-        No authorization is required prior to launching the plan, with the sole exception of filing the contract with the Office of the Undersecretary of Telecommunications prior to launching the respective plan or offer, so that this agency may exercise its oversight responsibilities.

-        No maximum price levels or predetermined price structures are established, and it allows plans that include joint offers with other services, regardless of whether they are telecommunications services.

-       It provides that the alternative plans or joint offers must be made available to all present and future users in the same category within a single tariff area, that there should be no obstacle to access and the option to return to the regulated plan, and that such plans or offers are to be maintained in

Obtaining Tariff Flexibility

Since 2001, the Company has been asking the Antitrust Commission to deregulate tariffs for local public telephone service, since the increased competition in fixed telephony and the growth of mobile telephony have changed market conditions to such an extent that the tariff-setting system is no longer warranted. The rigidity of the Tariff Decree did not allow Telefónica CTC Chile to respond to offers by the competition.

On July 11, 2001, the Antitrust Commission, in its Resolution No. 611, rejected the request for deregulation filed by Telefónica CTC Chile, indicating that current market conditions do not warrant such deregulation throughout

effect for at least one year or until the new Tariff Decree takes effect.

Lawsuit against the Government

On October 31, 2001, Telefónica CTC Chile filed a motion for reconsideration with the Ministries, requesting corrections to Tariff Decree No. 187 of 1999. On January 29, 2002, the Ministries issued a joint rejection of this request, explaining that such rejection was based on a careful evaluation only of the feasibility and timing of the request, in view of the circumstances and the need for prudence in setting public policy.

Having exhausted all administrative remedies aimed at correcting the illegal actions taken in the May 1999 tariffsetting process, in March 2002, Telefónica CTC Chile filed a lawsuit against the Government for damages in the amount of Ch$ 181,038,411,056 plus readjustments and interest, covering past and future damages incurred up to May 2004.

Proceedings are currently underway and experts’ reports have been presented on various aspects of the case supporting the position held by Telefónica CTC Chile.

1999-2004 Tariff Structure for Mobile
Interconnection Charges (CPP)

Calling Party Pays (CPP) was implemented in Chile on February 23, 1999. Under this tariff structure, local telephone companies pay mobile telephone companies an access fee for calls made from fixed networks to mobile networks. Fixed telephony companies may pass this access fee on to their subscribers. Therefore, under the CPP system, a fixed network customer who calls a mobile telephone pays the local telephone company a tariff comprised of a local tranche, which is part

 

of the basic local telephone service, plus a fee for interconnecting from the fixed network to the mobile network.

On January 21 2004, Decree No. 37 was issued, setting the new interconnection tariffs for mobile operators over a five-year term. This decree took effect for what was then the Company’s subsidiary on February 13, 2004 and implied an average decrease of 26.5% with respect to the tariffs in effect until that time. Telefónica CTC Chile is no longer active in this market after selling its mobile telephony subsidiary in July 2004. CPP revenues represented 29.2% of total mobile revenues for the first six months of 2004 as compared to 37% in 2003.

Changes to the Regulatory Framework

-       Telephone processing of complaints and free emergency communications services

With Decree No. 590, the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications mandated free access to emergency communications services, even for lines suspended for non payment and required telephone companies to address complaints by telephone, assigning a new, special 105 number service for processing complaints. In this regard,Telefónica CTC Chile had already integrated free emergency communications as of May 6, 2004, while the processing of complaints by telephone had been made possible as of late 2000 through the special 107 number service. In terms of enabling emergency communications from lines subject to service cutoff,Telefónica CTC Chile provided this service on lines connected to exchanges that had the capacity and functionality to maintain access to emergency services even when service is cut off due to subscriber delinquency.

-        New Telephone Bill Format

With Decree No. 510, the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications defined the minimum content and other features of the Universal Telephone Bill and set a term of 120 days, ending April 6, 2005, to implement the decree’s provisions.

 

-        Technical Standard for Categorizing Supplementary Services

By means of Exempt Resolution No. 1319 dated October 6, 2004, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications established supplementary service categories and assigned numbers to the respective categories that users may access through the public telephone network.


 

22 2004 Annual Report Telefónica CTC Chile

Economic Environment and Telecommunications Industry

A new, switched Internet access service was added to the supplementary service categories defined in 1993, and a shared charge service (600) was incorporated. Information, entertainment and voice and text messaging services were assigned national numbers, exclusively.

This resolution aims to solve the growing problem caused by customer complaints regarding calls to numbers that offer adult services.

-        Subtel’s Public Inquiries on Regulations for Network Unbundling and IP Telephony Services

In August 2004, Subtel initiated a process of public inquiries in connection with Network Unbundling and IP Telephony over broadband. In December 2004, as part of this process, Subtel submitted a revised Network Unbundling proposal, defining the service and its operating conditions. This proposal also includes new services which depart from those provided under Tariff Decree No. 169, thus creating new obligations for companies subject to network unbundling (obligation to invest, new client rights, differences in requirements based on technology type, etc.)

Furthermore, the new proposal creates a resale obligation for mobile operators and regulates resale conditions for wholesalers of alternative plans, which Telefónica CTC Chile offers.

 

As a participant in aforementioned public inquiries, the Company studied the proposal and submitted its opinion and legal objections. These include the fact that most of the provisions contained in the proposal are a matter of law and not of resolution, while other aspects of the proposal cannot be legislated since they impair rights that are guaranteed by the Chilean Constitution.

The proposal for IP Telephony defines a special type of telephony over broadband, which is provided over existing infrastructure and with lower regulatory requirements than traditional telephony. This discriminates against traditional local operators, which are subject to different conditions for the same service. The Company, along with other operators, presented its comments and legal objections to the proposal, calling it among other things, discriminatory and likely to inhibit investment in new infrastructure and broadband.

As of January 31, 2005, Subtel has not ruled on the comments and legal objections made by Telefónica CTC Chile and the other companies, nor has it issued final regulations.

The Residential Customer Department is responsible for the service platform, sales channels and customer service for the Residential segment, as well as product development and business operations in Fixed Telephony, Value-added Services, Advanced Equipment Sales, Broadband and Narrowband Internet Access Services, Security and Monitoring Service and Public Telephony.

This unit has focused on continuing to expand Broadband Service use; enlarging the spectrum of alternative plans by leveraging the tariff plan flexibility authorized in February 2004; promoting prepaid services; and improving quality of service for key processes in order to ensure satisfaction from all segments making up the residential consumer portfolio.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had 1,731,627 lines in the residential segment, representing a market share of 74% of this segment.

 

 

(ii) Small Businesses and Professionals

This unit’s primary goals are based on delivering differentiated solutions in terms of customer satisfaction, service, loyalty and customers’ integrated communications needs.

The market is made up of 276,000 companies, and Telefónica CTC Chile has a market share of 62%.

This group of Telefónica CTC Chile customers has been segmented on the basis of the communications needs and value to the Company. Different pre-sale, sale, installation and post-sale service models have been created for each of these segments.

In 2004, the Small Businesses and Professionals segment focused on developing and massively promoting voice, broadband and private services.

The newly mandated tariff flexibility has allowed the development of plans of minutes, representing a solution for customers who use voice communications services and have certain levels of traffic.

For broadband, one of the primary objectives has been to add more value to broadband access with practical, performance-enhancing applications. This has given rise to promotions of broadband applications such as e-learning, firewalls and antivirus programs, among others. Private services have been promoted with the development of attractive products and offerings.

(iii) Corporate Communications

The Corporate Communications business area addresses the communications needs of corporate customers and large companies through Telefónica Empresas. This subsidiary provides customized telecommunications solutions through a highly specialized business platform. This business area has approximately 3,700 customers, of which nearly 360 are large corporations, government ministries and government agencies.

Major services provided by Telefónica Empresas include data transmission circuits and value-added services. It also provides advanced telephony solutions and sells voice equipment and point-to-point data circuits for corporate clients. It is also responsible for offering ADSL service as a wholesaler to all Internet service providers (ISPs) in the market, who in turn, resell it to their customers.

Telefónica CTC Chile has a market share of 47% of data transmission industry revenues.

Telecommunications Products and Services:

Fixed Telecommunications Business

Basic Telephone Service:

The Company provides Basic Telephone services and related services over the public telephone network to residential customers, small and medium-sized businesses and corporations within the tariff areas defined by the current Tariff Decree. These services include the telephone line (fixed monthly charge); local traffic (measured local service and local tranche); connection to the public network, and indoor installation.

 

In the basic telephony business, Telefónica CTC Chile competes with eleven other local operators, including three rural telephony operators. In recent years, the Company has faced stiff competition, particularly in the corporate and heavy usage sectors. At year-end 2004, the Company had a 73% market share of fixed lines.

In 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile connected 343,318 fixed lines (including prepaid), closing out the year with a total of 2,427,364 lines in service, up 0.4% from 2003 and after two years of consecutive declines in lines in service. Daily traffic per line fell 4.3%, compared to the same period in 2003.

Flexible Tariff Plans:

One of the highlights of 2004 was the approval of flexible tariff plans in February. This allowed the Company to offer alternatives to the regulated plan and compete by adapting to customers’ needs. During 2004, the Company began to market plans of minutes, consisting in telephone service with a certain number of minutes for a monthly charge, with additional minutes being billed at different tariffs, depending on the customer’s plan.

At the end of July 2004, the Company also launched the Línea Económica (Economy Line), an innovation in the fixed telephony market. This service consists in a monthly amount from which customer calls are deducted based on call destination and time. Once the amount is used up, additional calls may be made using prepaid cards, and calls can always be received.

In addition, since the flexible tariff regulations allow bundled offers of products or services, the Company started marketing broadband services together with plans of minutes.

The Company

 


 


 

As of December 31, 2004, 229,760 customers had signed up for flexible tariff plans, representing 9.5% of the Company’s lines in service.

Prepaid Services:

Prepaid services have provided strong support to the development and growth of fixed lines and have helped drive the development of alternatives to the traditional regulated plans. The prepaid model has also been introduced into new business areas: switched Internet, broadband wireless Internet (Wi-Fi technology), and home security (Telemergencia).

The Company offers a variety of prepaid plans designed for customers who want greater control of their telephone expenses or who have limited usage. These include the “Línea Super Económica” (Super Economy Line), launched in November 2004, whose monthly prices range from Ch$3,000 to Ch$6,000. With this system, customers can make local calls at a certain per-minute tariff without any fixed administrative fees. There are also prepaid plans for bad debt customers. With any of these solutions, customers may increase their usage by employing prepaid cards.

The current means of payment for these services is the “Tarjeta Línea Propia” (TLP) card, which also allows users to make calls from any fixed telephone (including those blocked for long distance, mobile or 700 number calls), as well as from public telephones and enabled mobile phones. TLP also allows switched Internet browsing. In short, this product allows customers to have their own versatile, portable virtual line, while controlling and managing their telecommunications expenses.

Currently, over one million TLP cards are sold monthly, equivalent to Ch$1,000 each. In 2004, 12.9 million TLP cards were activated, a 17.7% increase over 2003.

 

 

At December 31, 2004, the total number of prepaid lines was 408,882.

Advanced Services:

Telefónica CTC Chile markets value-added services aimed at facilitating customer communications possibilities and increasing the number of successfully completed calls.

To do this, it offers a broad range of services, including: caller ID; voice mail; call waiting; call forwarding; call waiting ID; outbound traffic control to mobile phones; and information and entertainment services (600 and 700 numbers).

Advanced Equipment:

In addition, Telefónica CTC Chile sells advanced telecommunications equipment to the residential and small business segments, including fax machines, telephones with multiple lines, advanced telephones, wireless telephones and caller ID displays, among others.

Switched Internet Access:

Telefónica CTC Chile also provides its customers with access to the Internet over analog lines for a flat monthly fee. Two plans are available: (i) “Renta Plana Nocturna” (Night Flat Fee), an Internet access plan where a flat monthly rate is paid for unlimited access during off-peak hours, and (ii) “Renta Plana Total” (Total Flat Fee), allowing 24-hour Internet access at a flat fee.

The Company also provides its customers with continuous switched Internet access with a second, dedicated line, exclusively for browsing. This service is called “Línea Libre Internet” (Independent Internet Line) and provides 24-hour Internet access for a fixed monthly fee. The primary difference between the Independent Internet Line and other flat fee services is that it allows voice calls to be placed and received

over the customer’s originally installed line while the customer browses the Internet on a second, dedicated line.

Broadband Service:

In 2004, one of the Company’s primary goals was to promote broadband usage through ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) technology as a platform for developing new services to enhance profitability and fixed line customer loyalty. At December 31, 2004, the number of customers with broadband service totaled 200,794. This customer figure is up 60.3% over 2003, representing 40% of connections on the national broadband market (connections at speed of 128 kbps or faster).

The Company’s decision to double customers’ access speed for the same price was an industry milestone that was subsequently followed by other operators, cementing Telefónica CTC Chile’s position as market leader. In addition to increasing the Company’s commercial efforts, this move has opened the door for value-added services such as : video conference over ADSL, biometric services and video surveillance (Viginet), among others.

Sales of ADSL broadband services aimed at the end user, whether residential or corporate, are promoted under two names: “Speedy” and “Speedy Business”, respectively. At the same time, as a wholesaler, Telefónica CTC Chile offers broadband, under the name “Megavía”, to Internet service providers (ISPs) who resell it to their respective customers.

Further proof of the Company’s leadership in this area is the marketing of wireless connections for the home (Speedy Wi-Fi) and the enabling of public hotspots throughout the country (Speedy Wi-Fi Zones). At December 31, 2004, 267 hotspots were

 

installed in airports, universities, restaurants, shopping centers and service stations, among other places. In November, Telefónica CTC Chile signed a roaming agreement with the local operator Telefónica del Sur, opening the door for Chile to become the first country in the region to allow interoperability for customers with Wi-Fi access.

Telefónica CTC Chile’s commitment to education includes the migration from the current switched access to ADSL broadband, free of charge, for more than 5,500 schools in the country since 1998. At year-end 2004, the number of ADSL broadband connections installed in schools totaled 3,200, representing an increase of over 2,000 from the previous year. This offer is also extended to the faculty at these institutions under preferential terms. Telefónica CTC Chile plays a major role in projects on the use of technology in education, not only because of its national coverage and presence, but also due to its commitment to national development initiatives and projects.

Internet Access Services:

Telefónica Internet Empresas (TIE) provides Internet access services over dedicated and switched lines and through ADSL to small and medium-sized businesses and to corporations.

In 2004, TIE focused on increasing ADSL Internet access penetration in companies, primarily small and medium-sized businesses, given the low penetration in this segment, by highlighting the advantages of this tool for users: cost savings and greater business potential.

At December 31, 2004, TIE had 1,201 dedicated connections and a total of 21,413 switched connections.

The Company

 


 


 

 

 

Alarm Monitoring and Security Services
(Telemergencia):

Telefónica CTC Chile, through its subsidiary Telemergencia, also offers home security and home assistance services through alarm monitoring systems connected to a security platform over the telephone line. It offers a wide variety of plans adapted to customers’ needs and budgets.

In 2004, this business grew 21.2% in the number of customers with respect to 2003, reaching 59,825 customers by December 31. Telemergencia is currently the number two alarm company in the market with national coverage.

Public Telephones:

Telefónica CTC Chile, through its subsidiary CTC Equipos S.A., manages public telephones owned by Telefónica CTC Chile and installed on public as well as inside commercial locations, buildings, communities and call centers. The Company also provides post-sales services to third parties associated with maintenance and business support of public telephones purchased from Telefónica CTC Chile.

In 2004, the Company aimed to improve profitability of its installed capacity and, to do so, moved equipment to more appealing locations. At the same time, preferred technical support was provided to highly profitable areas and existing security and fraud prevention measures were reinforced.

The Company ended 2004 with a total of 10,288 public telephones (which allows the use of coins or prepaid cards to make calls), down 7% from 2003. Telefónica CTC Chile also manages community lines, which at December 31, 2004 totaled 17,991 lines and which mainly considers the product known as “Nuestro Teléfono” (Our Telephone) which only allows calls to 800 numbers and prepaid card calls or collect calls.

 

Directory Advertising:

Impresora y Comercial Publiguías S.A (“Publiguías”) prints and distributes the telephone directories associated with the customer database provided by Telefónica CTC Chile.

In August 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Publiguías, effective through June 2006, whereby Telefónica CTC Chile receives a percentage of the revenues generated by Yellow Pages and White Pages advertising sales.

Long Distance

In the long distance business, Telefónica CTC Chile operates through its subsidiaries, Telefónica Mundo S.A. and Globus 120 S.A., which meet their customers’ various needs through a broad offering of public and private voice, data and video services, through the domestic and international long distance network.

In 2004, both subsidiaries’ market shares represented approximately 44.4% of domestic long distance (DLD) voice traffic and 31.2% of outgoing international long distance (ILD) voice traffic.

At December 2004, there was a 9.4% decline in overall DLD market traffic and a 0.1% drop in total outgoing ILD market traffic compared to 2003. The drop in the DLD market continues to be affected by the growing use of mobile telephones, e-mail and Internet, and the increase in the number of lines blocked for long distance calling. In terms of ILD, traffic remained virtually unchanged, primarily due to economic growth and the development of flat fee plans with preferential prices for ILD destinations. During 2004, the Company recorded a 2.6% increase in DLD traffic. Likewise, ILD traffic grew y 4.2%.

Given the market context and the high competition in this business, in addition to offering the traditional long distance traffic services under the multi-carrier system, the subsidiaries Telefónica Mundo and Globus 120 have developed numerous plans that have increased traffic, customer loyalty, and use of the Company’s network and infrastructure. These plans consist primarily in offering customers domestic and international long distance calling for a fixed monthly fee, with preferred tariffs or discounts for frequently called routes, during established hours or all day, depending on the plan. During 2004, “Long Distance Plans plus Assistance Service” were launched. This product is aimed at residential customers, allowing them to make long distance calls with their current preferred plans, plus an additional assistance service selected by the customer when signing up for the plan. The assistance services offered include Residential Assistance, Vehicle Assistance and Senior Assistance. At December 31, 2004, the Company’s portfolio of plans totaled 395,316 customers.

In addition, to improve the return on Telefónica Mundo’s domestic and international network capacity, this subsidiary serves other telecommunications operators’ voice transport and capacity needs, including intermediary service companies with and without their own networks, mobile companies and Internet service providers (ISPs).

Corporate Communications

The Corporate Communications business area addresses the communications needs of corporate customers and large companies through Telefónica Empresas. This subsidiary’s primary services include data transmission circuits and value-added services through advanced data links such as Frame Relay, ATM and IP Network, among others. It also provides advanced telephony solutions and sells voice equipment, such as PABX, videoconferencing and point-to-point data circuits for corporate customers. Telefónica Empresas also provides advanced telecommunications services through consulting,

 

professional services and outsourcing. It is also responsible for offering ADSL service as a wholesaler to all Internet service providers (ISPs) in the market, who in turn, resell it to their customers.

Within the framework of tariff flexibility for local telephony, the authorities set the monthly average for heavy usage at 15,000 minutes for 2004, and at 12,000 for 2005 and thereafter. This allowed a variety of solutions adapted to the needs of each corporate customer, depending on traffic level.

During 2004, e-solutions services grew significantly. This area, whose primary purpose is the development of new business over the Internet, IP Network, Data Center and Network Outsourcing, offers new value-added solutions and integrated services tailored to companies’ communications needs.

In 2004, Telefónica Empresas showed significant growth in the Hosting and Solutions and IP Services product lines. It also positioned itself as a major player in Electronic Billing services (14% of corporate customers receive their bills instantly), as well as providing outsourcing solutions, data networking, and multi-company voice solutions for the financial sector.

One of the year’s highlights was also the ISO 9001-2000 certification for Telefónica Empresas’ products and services planning, design and development processes. This reaffirms this subsidiary’s leadership in the marketplace, providing its customers with high-quality products and services certified with this important international standard.

Mobile Communications

In July 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile sold its mobile communications business to Telefónica Móviles S.A. (Spain) for US$1,321 million. As a result, since July 1, 2004, the Company no longer includes Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. in its financial statements.

In 2004, Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. faced significant changes, challenges and achievements. Early in the year, the new 2004-2009 tariff decree took effect for mobile telephony company interconnections, providing for a 26.5% average decrease in access charges over the following five years. This had a significant impact on the business’s operating margin.

Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. continued to lead growth in the mobile telephony market, increasing its market share by 2.3 percentage points during the first half of the year and positioning itself as the leader in technological innovation with a broad offering of handsets and convenient plans to meet its customers’ needs.

ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

In 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile’s consolidated revenues fell 15.6% with respect to 2003, closing at Ch$702,875 million. This change was primarily due to the decline in revenues from the mobile subsidiary since this business was deconsolidated in July 2004, together with a 10.4% decline in basic telephony revenues. These declines were partially offset by increased revenues from ADSL, access and interconnection charges and corporate communications. Excluding the effect of the Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. sale from 2003 and 2004, consolidated revenues were down 4.0%.

Fixed telecommunications revenues, representing 60.1% of total consolidated revenues in 2004, declined 4.0% with respect to the previous year. This was due to a 10.4% drop in basic telephony revenues (flat and variable rates, connections and other installations, flexible plans, value-added services, and other basic telephony revenues). This decline was partially offset by new revenues from flexible plans.

 

Basic telephony revenues represented 42.7% of total consolidated revenues and declined due to: (i) a 19.7% drop in variable rate revenues resulting from a 5.9% decrease in average installed lines, lower traffic per line/day, the provision for lower tariffs relating to the new tariff decree, and customer migration to flexible plans; (ii) a 5.9% decrease in fixed charge revenues due to the fall in average lines in service and customers signing up for flexible plans, partially offset by a provision for higher revenues resulting from implementation of the new tariff decree; (iii) revenues from connections and other installations fell 32.4% from 2003; (iv) an 8% decline in value-added services, mainly due to fewer average lines in service, while other basic telephony revenues posted a 28.9% drop. This was partially offset by the introduction of flexible plans in July 2004, which generated revenues of Ch$8,692 million.

Sustained growth in broadband revenues partially offset the decline in fixed telecommunications revenues with an 86.5% surge and a total of Ch$25,162 million in 2004. These revenues represented 3.6% of total consolidated revenues.

Revenues from access charges and interconnections, accounting for 4.5% of total consolidated revenues, were up 20.2% in 2004. This jump was due to a 12.6% increase in revenues from domestic long distance access charges, together with a 35.8% increase in other interconnection services and a 19.2% increase in mobile and fixed access charges.

Other fixed telecommunications businesses increased 0.7% or Ch$453 million, basically driven by the growth in security services, directory advertising, and the rise in switched and dedicated ISP services. This was countered in part by a decline in equipment marketing and lower revenues from public telephones and interior installations.

06

The Company

 


 



 

Long distance service revenues, representing 8.8% of total consolidated revenues, totaled Ch$61,589 million. This represented a 2.5% decline in 2004, primarily due to the result of lower average domestic and international long distance prices, despite 2.6% growth in DLD traffic and a 4.2% increase in outbound ILD traffic. This was offset in part by higher revenues for network rental.

Revenues from the corporate communications business, representing 11.8% of total consolidated revenues, rose 2.7% in 2004 over the previous year, basically as a result of a 13.8% increase in data revenues and a 13.4% increase in circuit revenues, countered in part by the 24.5% decline in revenues from terminal equipment sales.

Revenues from the mobile communications business fell by 45.7% due to the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. in July 2004, despite growth over 2003, in the period between January and June 2004, as a result of growth in the average mobile customer base.

Revenues from other businesses fell 33.2%, due primarily to the deconsolidation of Istel (Company-owned health insurance subsidiary) commencing in September 2003.

Operating costs and expenses fell 15.5% in 2004 compared to the previous year, totaling Ch$603,741 million. Excluding the mobile business, consolidated operating costs totaled Ch$473,878 million, down 4.5% from 2003. This can be explained by a drop in the Company’s levels of depreciation, associated with lower investment. Cost cuts also resulted from the Company’s efforts in recent fiscal years aimed at the efficient use of resources.

As a result of the foregoing, Telefónica CTC Chile’s 2004

 

operating income totaled Ch$99,134 million, down 16.2% from a year ago. Operating margin reached 14.1%, compared to 14.2% for 2003. For its part, the Company’s EBITDA was Ch$327,051 million in 2004, representing a 46.5% margin, that is, 0.3 percentage points below last year’s margin.

The Company’s 2004 non-operating income showed a surplus of Ch$275,173 million, an improvement over the non-operating loss in fiscal year 2003. Financial income was up 28.0%, due primarily to the higher available funds from the sale of the mobile subsidiary, which were temporarily allocated to financial investments. Another Ch$475,489 million in non-operating revenues was added to this from the sale of the mobile subsidiary and the sale of the equity interest in Publiguías, recorded in 2004. Financial expenses were down 13.9% in 2004, primarily associated with lower financial debt, the renegotiation of rates, lower market interest rates and the effect of a lower exchange rate. Goodwill amortization showed an increase of Ch$116,741 million with respect to 2003, corresponding primarily to the accelerated goodwill amortization of the mobile subsidiary at its sale. On the other hand, non-operating expenses rose by 93.0%, primarily from restructuring costs and an increase in the charge for retired assets posted in 2004.

Furthermore, there was a Ch$8,982 million gain in adjustments for currency fluctuation, caused primarily by the effect of foreign currency cash flow from the mobile sale and payment of the foreign currency-denominated dividend in August 2004.

Finally, the Company’s net income totaled Ch$311,629 million in 2004, which compares favorably to the Ch$10,387 million in earnings posted in 2003.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND FINANCING

Capital expenditures

In 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile’s capital expenditures totaled US$151.2 million. During the year, the Company sold its mobile subsidiary and thus no longer consolidated mobile capital expenditures as of July 1, 2004. Excluding mobile from the first half of 2004, capital expenditures totaled US$119 million.

Investment in 2004 was principally aimed at supporting the 60% growth in ADSL connections, increasing domestic transport capacity, and doubling access speeds for all customers in addition to the deployment of wireless technologies (WiFi) for home use as well as hot spots for public spaces such as airports, universities, hotels, among others.

 

Corporate Communications: The data network has been enhanced, making it possible to service large customers with the highest security, support and availability standards in the industry.

Basic telephony investments were focused on maximizing installed capacity, marketing telephone lines and network maintenance and updating infrastructure technology.

The growth in mobile subscribers during the first six months of 2004, mainly explains the investments of US$32 million in the first half of 2004.

Financing

In 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile continued its strategy of strengthening its financial structure and reducing financial expenses. At December 31, 2004 the Company had total financial debt of US$1,087 million, representing a 30% decrease from 2003. This was primarily due to increased cash flow generation as a result of lower investments and the sale of the mobile subsidiary in July 2004, which allowed for debt reduction of US$353 million in 2004 through prepayments and the repurchase of bonds on the international market. The Company also renegotiated loans, lowering interest rates and extending maturity.

The sources of financing were primarily operating funds, sale of assets, debt refinancing and the issuance of commercial papers. These sources were used for investments of US$151 million, debt amortizations of US$169 million, and prepayments of US$238 million. Additionally, the Company paid dividends of US$1,006 million. The breakdown of financing activities is as follows:

Amortizations:

        US$153 million in Eurobonds paid at maturity (August).

        US$16 million in other amortizations.

Debt Prepayments:

        US$6 million for repurchase of Eurobonds (February).

        US$50 million for bilateral loans (July and August).

        US$182 million for repurchase of Yankee Bonds (December).

New Debt Issuance:

        US$54 million was issued in a first series of commercial paper with a one-year term in local currency. In parallel, a commercial papers credit line was registered for US$54 million (May).

 

Renegotiations:

        Financial terms were renegotiated on a bilateral loan for US$25 million with a one-year term (January).

        A local US$15.3 million loan with a one-year term was renegotiated (March).

        US$100 million of a local loan was renegotiated for a four year term (March).

        A local US$14.5 million loan was renegotiated for a one-year term (June).

        Lastly, a syndicated loan for US$200 million was renegotiated, for a five year term and with a rate reduction of 72.5 basis points (December).

Thus, the Company continued to improve its financial indicators, and at December 31, 2004 had a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.92, compared to 0.93 at year-end 2003, and a financial expense coverage ratio of 17.58 at year-end 2004, compared to 7.27 at year-end 2003, due to the one-time profit from the sale of the mobile subsidiary in July, 2004.

Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Risk Management

Due to the high levels of investment in recent years and the attractive foreign interest rates during certain periods, the Company obtained foreign financing denominated primarily in dollars and in some cases with variable interest rates. As a result, the Company is exposed to financial risks related to foreign exchange and/or interest rate fluctuations. For this reason, Telefónica CTC Chile periodically reviews its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risk to determine the levels of coverage required for each period.

In 2004, the Company continued its policy of hedging 100% of its financial debt against foreign exchange fluctuations, with a real appreciation of the peso against the dollar of 11.4%. Similary, hedging against interest rate fluctuations

represented 84% of debt. It is important to note that the Company uses derivative financial instruments available on the domestic and international markets.

At December 31, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile had US$500 million in foreign exchange hedged dollar-denominated liabilities and US$150 million in interest rate coverage under forward rate agreements (FRAs) and US$200 million in cross-currency swaps, protecting obligations subject to floating interest rates (LIBOR).

PROPERTY, SUPPLIERS, LOGISTICS AND INSURANCE

Property

Property, plant and equipment owned by Telefónica CTC Chile and used for the conduct of business, such as buildings, switching centers, external networks, customer terminal equipment, furniture and office equipment and other work-related items, are distributed throughout national territory. The Company also operates public and private switching exchange networks, external plant networks, wireless circuits, local and long distance fiber optic, radio and microwave circuits.

Suppliers

In 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile had approximately 1,500 active domestic and foreign registered suppliers, including Nokia, Alcatel, ATI Chile and Ericsson, for network infrastructure products; Atento Chile and Adecco RRHH for services and construction; Madeco, Cisco and Alcatel (ADSL equipment) for market products; ITS, HP, IBM and Accenture, for information systems; and Universal McCann and television channels for advertising and marketing.

 

In the course of the project to automate the management of bids and negotiations with our suppliers, approximately 450 companies have been integrated into the Adquira platform (Telefónica Group initiatives), allowing them to qualify for participation in the procurement for any Telefónica company in Chile. A Supplier Assessment system was also implemented in 2004, providing quality and service evaluations for all winning bidders, providing valuable information to consider in future requests for proposals.

The relationship between Telefónica CTC Chile and its suppliers is governed by internal policy establishing that any action or contract presenting a conflict of interest must be reported to the Company’s Directors’ Committee, in order to maintain transparency in procurement and project performance.

Logistics

Telefónica CTC Chile has a Logistics Center with a storage capacity of up to 6,000 square meters. In 2004, the Logistics Center increased its intranet order requests by 65%, with over 80% use of installed capacity in various types of storage. There was also a continued decrease in nationwide logistics assets, both in inventory and warehouses.

Insurance

According to Telefónica CTC Chile’s Risk Management Policy, the Company decides whether to transfer risks to insurance companies on a case-by-case basis. If it elects to do so, standard coverage available on the market is applied, or coverage is adapted to the specific risk in particularly complex cases.

Specifically, the Company’s assets are fully insured against physical damage and lost income due to service shutdown. This coverage includes, among others, the risk of fire,

 

2004 Annual Report Telefónica CTC Chile 41

 




 

 

 

earthquake, natural disasters, shipment, political risk, theft and domestic transport. The insured amount totals approximately US$2,440 million.

For work performed by independent contractors and outsourced collection centers, in order to obtain preferred premiums and volume-based rates, overall insurance quotes are requested and coverage is adjusted to the activities performed by the contractors.

The Company also has liability insurance for damage/injury to third parties, as well as other insurance covering executives, staff, vehicles and imports of equipment and materials.

 

RISK FACTORS

Chilean Economy

Since Company operations are located in Chile, they are sensitive to and depend on the country’s level of economic activity. During periods of slow economic growth, high levels of unemployment and contraction of domestic demand, local and long distance telephone traffic has been affected. In addition, payment delinquency levels have increased.

Regulation of the Telecommunications Industry

Certain telecommunications services are subject to tariff regulation, since the regulatory authorities believe that, in certain sections of the industry, conditions do not yet ensure free competition. Tariff regulation may have a significant impact on Company revenues and its ability to compete in the marketplace. In 2004, mobile interconnection rates (CCP) were set. This affected mobile revenues from February through June 2004, the last month in which the mobile subsidiary’s results were consolidated prior to its sale to TEM in July, 2004. The tariff setting process was carried out in 2004 for Telefónica CTC Chile’s fixed telephony services for the period from May 2004 to May 2009. On February 11, 2005, the corresponding tariffs (Tariff Decree No. 169) were published in the Official Gazette (See Regulatory Framework).

In 2004, approximately 55% of Company revenues – without considering mobile revenues – were from regulated business activities.

Additionally, new regulation or changes in the existing regulatory model may adversely affect the Company’s businesses. In this manner, the Company has participated in the public inquiry process concerning Subtel’s proposals for regulation of network unbundling and IP telephony over broadband, which were submitted in 2004. The Company, together with other industry operators, has presented its opinion and legal objections to these proposals (See Regulatory Framework).

Competition

Telefónica CTC Chile faces strong competition in all business areas. The Company estimates that a high degree of competition will continue to exist in all business areas,

 

particularly in domestic and international long distance services, broadband, local telephone services, data transmission and public telephones.

Technological Changes

The telecommunications industry is subject to rapid and significant technological advances and the introduction of new products and services. Although the Company believes that, in the foreseeable future, existing and developing technologies will not have a negative material impact on the viability and competitiveness of its telecommunications business, it is impossible to accurately predict the effect of these technological changes on the Company, its need to make significant investments in the development or implementation of new competitive technologies, or whether these technologies or services will replace or supplement the products and services currently offered by the Company. Telefónica CTC Chile is constantly evaluating the incorporation of new technologies into its business and weighing their potential costs, benefits and contribution.

Financial Risk

The Company maintains a significant portion of its debt in foreign currency and at variable interest rates. Therefore the volatility and fluctuation of the Chilean peso with respect to other currencies, as well as changes in domestic and international interest rates, may affect the Company’s results. Management continuously evaluates its foreign exchange and interest rate risk management policy.

Events occurring in other emerging markets, particularly in Latin America, may also adversely affect Telefónica CTC Chile’s listed stock, the availability of financing and the value of the domestic currency.

2004 ADR Price Performance

New York Stock Exchange




 

SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE

Uncertainty about the US recovery, the impact of terrorism, oil and commodity prices, and the weakness of the dollar versus the euro, were just some of the obstacles that had to be negotiated to end the year on annual highs in most of the world’s markets, even outpacing results for the last two years.

In 2004, the stock market recovered its dynamism and stock offering activities resumed. Compared to the previous year, IPOs tripled on Wall Street and quadrupled on the European markets.

The Dow Jones closed up 3.15% on the year, among its best showings since June 2001. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq showed an annual increase of 10.44%, its best results since January 2002.

The European markets ended the year quite favorably, managing to sidestep the great strength of the euro and the high price of oil. Madrid’s Ibex-35 closed the year up 17.37%, its best showing since June 2001, and London’s FTSE-100 managed to end the year up 7.54%, an increase not achieved since June 2002.

 

In Latin America, several markets were up, for the most part due to local economic stability and positive stock behavior on Wall Street, by local companies despite the uncertainty caused by rate hikes in the United States (four in 2004) and higher oil prices.

The Chilean stock market followed global trends, closing one of its most successful years with primary indicators showing strong increases. The select IPSA index was up 21.1%. Trading totaled US$13,123 million on the Santiago stock exchange, setting a historic trading record, while stock market capitalization surged to US$116,072 million. The ADRian index, which tracks Chilean stocks traded as ADR’s, rose 23.32%.

Among the most traded stocks on the local market, the volumes traded on the year for CTC-A and CTC-B on the Santiago, Electronic and Valparaíso stock exchanges totaled US$1,427 million, with an annual average of US$119 million per month, up 34.5% with respect to last year’s average.

Specifically, the CTC-A stock ended the year on a downswing, with a closing price of Ch$1,560 and a 30.7% drop for the year. The CTC-B stock declined 21.2% with respect to 2003, closing at

Ch$1,490. The Company’s ADR prices showed an annual decline on the order of 24.8%, closing the year at US$11.24. Volume traded on the NYSE totaled US$1,023 million.

These declines can be attributed to the uncertainty surrounding the tariff setting process in the first half of 2004. Additionally, after the sale of the mobile subsidiary and the change in the dividend policy, the Company paid dividends of US$1,006 million, which also affected the share price. Including dividends paid during 2004, the price of CTC-A shares dropped only 1.4% compared to year end 2003.

Holders of ADRs reduced their ownership interest in Telefónica CTC Chile, from 14.4% at year-end 2003, to 11.6% at year-end 2004. This was due to flowback transactions (ADRs converted into local shares to be returned to domestic markets) equivalent to 26.7 million ADRs, compared to 19.7 million ADRs coming from inflow operations (shares purchased on domestic markets to be exchanged for ADRs).

For their part, Chilean Pension Fund Managers (AFPs) decreased their equity interest in the Company slightly from 25.9% at year-end 2003 to 25.4% at year-end 2004.

2004 DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION POLICY

The dividend policy for fiscal year 2004, reported in the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 15, 2004, was amended by the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to Circular No. 687 of the Chilean Securities and Exchange Commission (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros). This amendment was made in the Board meeting held on September 21, 2004 and shall be reported in the next General Shareholders’ Meeting. The new policy provides for the following:

1.        For fiscal year 2004 and subsequent years, the Board of Directors intends to distribute 100% of net profits generated during the respective year through a dividend to be

 

            distributed in November of each year and a dividend to be distributed in May of each year, to be proposed at the relevant General Shareholders’ Meeting.

2.        The General Dividend Distribution Policy shall be in keeping with the objectives set forth in the Company’s Financial Plan, which aims at reducing liabilities.

3.        This policy reflects the intent of the Board of Directors, and its fulfillment shall be contingent upon the actual profit earned as well as on the Company’s periodic projections or the presence of certain conditions, as the case may be.

4.        At the Shareholders’ Meeting to be held in April 2005, the Board of Directors intends to propose distributing the entirety of accumulated retained earnings at December 2004(1) in the form of a single, eventual dividend.

5.        Dividend payment procedures are as follows:

           To collect dividends, shareholders may choose one of the following options:

a.        Deposit to a checking account in the name of the shareholder.

b.        Deposit to a savings account in the name of the shareholder.

c.        Payment by check or cashier’s check sent by certified mail to the shareholder’s address of record.

d.        Payment by check or cashier’s check to be collected at the offices of DCV Registros S.A., the company responsible for managing the shareholder’s registry for Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A., or at a bank designated by DCV Registros S.A. This form of payment will remain effective throughout the term of the respective agreement with DCV Registros S.A. Otherwise, payment by check or

cashier’s check shall be collected at the offices of Company, at Avenida Providencia 111, Santiago, or at a bank designated by the Company in a timely fashion.

2004 INVESTMENT AND FINANCING POLICY OF COMPAÑÍA DE TELECOMUNICACIONES DE CHILE S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Following is the text of the investment and financing policy applicable to the period in question, as approved and amended for the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A., at the Extraordinary Shareholders´ Meeting held July 15, 2004.

GENERAL POLICY

In 2004, Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. (hereinafter “Telefónica CTC Chile” or the “Company”) will focus on investing in all business areas defined in its Bylaws, with particular emphasis on the following objectives:

-          Meeting the communications needs of current and prospective customers of the Company and its subsidiaries by providing telecommunications, information and audiovisual communications services using the range of available technology, provided that the regulatory framework allows adequate profitability for shareholders.

-          Expanding the Company’s activity domestically and internationally through new business opportunities in markets where its telecommunications knowledge and experience allow it to compete profitably.

-          Implementing a modern management strategy aimed at maximizing Company value by innovatively and efficiently organizing employees and resources involved in the operation and development of the telecommunications business.

-          Ensuring that invested funds are adequately allocated and solvency indicators are met, consistent with domestic and international economic conditions.

This framework has been implemented through the creation of the Telefónica CTC Chile group of companies, in which each company independently

 

manages and optimizes its own businesses within the group’s general policies and financial controls, subject to the decisions of each company’s own Board of Directors.

I. INVESTMENT POLICY

As described in the General Policy, Telefónica CTC Chile will make the necessary investments to fulfill its corporate objective, pursuant to its Bylaws and the goals described. To this end, the Company’s Management will have sufficient power and authority to invest in the telecommunications business on the basis of the current regulatory framework, while maintaining its objectives of adequate profitability in keeping with the technical and economic criteria of the various projects in which it invests.

Telefónica CTC Chile will invest in telecommunications-related businesses areas by undertaking projects directly through the parent company and its subsidiaries and, if applicable, by creating and/or buying equity interest in joint ventures or corporations.

Following is a description of the primary investment projects scheduled by the Telefónica CTC Chile Group for 2004.

1. Areas of Investment

a) Network Infrastructure

Telefónica CTC Chile’s network infrastructure comprises fixed telephony, data, long distance and IP networks. These networks include telecommunications systems and equipment as well as associated intangible assets and provide the integrated physical, technological and operational support for the services the Company offers to its customers. The associated investments are described below:

Line Plan

In 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile will continue using available installed capacity to expand service, subject to the prices and regulatory environment. Associated investments involve minor

Shareholder Information

 

external work for the efficient use of available capacity and internal equipment when demand and the return on such investments so warrant.

Quality of Service

This project includes a variety of work aimed at replacing equipment, supporting the networks, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance due to accidents and third party damage, and providing and replacing tools to better manage network capacity, thereby ensuring reliability in line with international standards.

Long Distance Voice and Data Network

Investments in this area include the ongoing development of a domestic and international fiber optic network to enhance the quality of long distance communications, and, based on the multi-service network, creating the infrastructure required to support current and future bandwidth needs and maintain current quality-of-service levels.

Corporate Communications

The Company will continue developing data network projects and setting up private networks based on corporate customer requirements and demand, as well as providing integrated solutions based on dedicated and switched communications products and services. It will also continue development of the IP network in order to provide a differentiated service offering.

b) Sale of Lines

These investments are related to the connection of residential lines, line transfers, extensions, annexes, and others.

c) Public Telephony and Terminal Equipment

These investments are necessary to maintain public telephones and to purchase basic terminal equipment for the marketing and sale of lines and advanced equipment with new features that provide new services.

d) Interconnections

These investments include interconnections with long

 

distance carriers, fixed telephone companies, mobile telephone companies and Internet service providers (ISPs). They also include investments in the various services related to network unbundling.

e) Process Management Information Systems

These investments are necessary to provide Telefónica CTC Chile with the information technology infrastructure required to automate and coordinate its business processes and better serve its customers, in line with the most efficient global practices.

f) Broadband Expansion

Telefónica CTC Chile will continue to implement broadband technologies through the integration of xDSL platforms and technologies, the deployment of wireless developments (Wi-Fi), the incorporation of new services for broadband customers, remote monitoring and security services, among other initiatives.

g) Other Investments

These include investments in office and computer equipment for administrative areas, the improvement of administrative and customer service spaces and other minor investments.

2. Estimated Investment

The Group’s maximum investment limit is based on the cost of implementing the projects previously defined under Areas of Investment within the regulatory framework, in order to allow the Group to meet new customer demand using existing capacity. The investments are expected to ensure an adequate return for the Company, provide new services as required by corporate customers, maintain high quality-of-service levels, and support operational and administrative management based on the demands of the Company’s growing customer base.

The maximum investment in joint ventures or corporations, both domestically and internationally, is set at 25% of


 

2004 Annual Report Telefónica CTC Chile 53

 



shareholders’ equity on the last consolidated quarterly balance sheet filed with the Chilean Securities and Exchange Commission (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros).

3. Investment in Financial Instruments

Investments will also be made in financial assets in order to maximize the yield from cash surpluses and offer adequate protection for Company liabilities denominated in various currencies and subject to variable interest rates. The investment portfolio is diversified based on liquidity, return and issuer risk, as determined by Company management, while also serving as a hedge.

4. Role in Controlling Areas of Investment

Since its investment projects are primarily related to its own line of business, Telefónica CTC Chile has control over their various stages of development.

Should new business ventures require third-party involvement, the Company will enter into appropriate agreements to define their relationships.

II. FINANCING POLICY

According to the financing policy text approved at the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 15, 2004, emphasis in 2004 will be placed on seeking alternatives to strengthen the Company’s financial structure through new financing arrangements and current debt renegotiation.

 

Furthermore, financing sources for 2004 investments will be determined on the basis of the Company’s long-term Financial Plan. The funding required during 2004 will be obtained internally; through traditional borrowing; from the sale and leasing of real estate and other property, with or without purchase options; from public or private debt instruments, whether convertible or not, in Chile or abroad; through loans from financial institutions; and in the form of supplier credit, securitization of assets and capital contributions, if strategic considerations so warrant. Other financing alternatives available on the local and international financial markets may also be considered if they provided an adequate liability structure and minimized costs.

Internal resources include book depreciation, other amortization and net profits for the period. Profits for the period constitute a net source of financing in the proportion approved for retention at the General Shareholders’ Meeting.

The Company’s maximum consolidated debt-to-equity ratio (indebtedness) may not exceed 1.6. “Debt” shall be defined as total consolidated liabilities, and “Equity” as the difference between total consolidated assets and consolidated liabilities. All figures used to calculate this ratio shall be from the same date and in constant currency.

The parent company obtains external financing from financial institutions and on the public market, and finances subsidiary needs.

Progress in Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Since the enactment of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) in July 2002, the Company, in an effort to formalize good corporate governance practices, has initiated an adaptation process aimed at ensuring compliance with this law as well as with the requirements established by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in November 2003. Thus,major initiatives are underway and are slated for completion, within, and in some cases well within, the time frame required for foreign companies. They include the following:

-        Publication of a Code of Ethics

The Company published its Code of Ethics in September 2003, which summarizes and sets forth the Company’s principles and values with respect to its customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders and society at large. The complete document is available on the Telefónica CTC Chile website (www.telefonicade chile.cl). To supplement the publication of the Code of Ethics, a confidential service has been established for the Company to report alleged ethical breaches by letter, telephone and e-mail. This service accepts reports from both inside and outside the Company. Reports may be made to the following e-mail address: comiteetica@ctc.cl.

 

-        Ban on Loans to Executives

The Company established its policy of not granting loans to executives and directors commencing on July 30, 2002.

-        Certification of Annual Financial Statements

The Financial Statements contained in the 20-F annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for 2002 and 2003 have been certified pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.

-        Formalization of Services and Relationship with Independent Auditors

The Company has agreements in place with independent auditors for services permitted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In 2004, the services that independent auditors are barred from providing were expressly defined. These include, among others, accounting, design and implementation of information systems, financial assessments, actuarial services, and internal auditing.

-        Assessment of Internal Controls on Financial Reporting

Telefónica CTC Chile is in the process of implementing an internal control assessment model for financial reporting. This model has been designed in coordination with the Telefónica S.A. Group and is also in compliance with local legislation.

In this regard the Company continues to comply with its internal market reporting and disclosure policy, which sets forth market disclosure procedures and reflects the Company’s commitment to transparenccy in dealing with shareholders, investors and the market at large. In addition, the Company strictly complies with its internal policy for recording, disclosing and controlling financial and accounting information.

-        Audit Committee

An Audit Committee is currently being formed pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and which is required by July 31, 2005.

AN INICIATIVE WAS LAUNCHED TO STRENGTHEN THE COMPANY’S ATTENTION

ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

  

MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE PLANS

 

The 8% staff increase at the parent company with respect to 2003 is due primarily to the promotion of business activities related to customer service and loyalty by segments (Residential, Small Businesses and Corporate Communications) pursuant to the restructuring process implemented over the course of the year and within the framework of the “Compromiso Cliente” (Customer Commitment) program. Likewise, the decrease in subsidiary staff is explained primarily by the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. with 867 employees as of June 30, 2004.

 

Management Compensation

 

Gross compensation and bonuses paid to executives of the Company and its subsidiaries, including General Managers, Corporate Managers and Area Managers, totaled Ch$7,782 million in 2004. Total severance indemnities paid to executives of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled Ch$2,728 million in 2004.

Incentive Plan

Telefónica CTC Chile has an annual incentive plan for its executives based on fulfillment of targets, individual performance and contribution to Company profits.

 

HUMAN RESOURCES

At December 31, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile personnel included 2,817 permanent employees at the parent company and 957 at subsidiaries, for a total Company staff of 3,774, broken down as follows:

 

 

In 2004, a new collective bargaining agreement was finalized with Federación Zonas, an umbrella organization grouping 7 unions and representing 247 employees. This agreement maintained the changes that had already been introduced for other unions. Thus, over 97% of workers are currently subject to more flexible conditions allowing the Company to better adapt to customer needs, not only in terms of scheduling but also regarding compensation and incentives.

Customer Commitment Program:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the end of 2003, an initiative was launched to focus the organization’s attention on customer satisfaction. Within this framework, a series of activities was designed. In the human resources area, these include training programs for sales, collections, and back office processes, in which nearly 1,800 employees participated for a total of 46,000 hours of training, and the organization and talent management program, which was launched with full management review processes that led to mobility for over 222 employees. Of these, 14 rose to executive positions, 48 assumed different responsibilities through lateral moves, and 160 new people joined the Company.

Human Resources Development

In the months of November and December 2004, competency evaluations were conducted throughout the Company. Evaluations called for a 360° review of executives and a 180° review of professional, technical and administrative staff. This process is aimed at enriching performance feedback for all employees by adding peer and customer assessments to the supervisory reviews and self-evaluations. The results of this process are a set of commitments for improvement involving workers and their managers, focused on both work performance and personal improvement. The results will also be used in the design of training plans for 2005.

During the year, even greater emphasis was placed on leadership development. For this purpose, workshops involving 56 executives and totaling over 4,600 hours were held to strengthen management skills. The primary goals were to focus the Company’s vision and develop commercial, client service and leadership skills and integration. The training focused on the strategic goals of the Customer Commitment program. All Company-tailored training programs were provided either onsite by respected institutions or as e-learning courses.

 

Organizational Communications

In 2004, organizational communications were focused on encouraging corporate openness, the ability to listen and express new ideas and suggestions. In this context, one of the first initiatives of the year was encouraging the exchange of ideas and knowledge among the various work areas, visits by senior management to sites nationwide, including meetings and exchanges of ideas with all employees. In addition, the Company Volunteer Corps undertook numerous fundraising activities for the construction of homes for the disadvantaged as part of the initiative known as “Un Techo Para Chile” (A Roof for Chile), as well as other team-building activities that contributed to the strengthening of ties among Company employees.

 

This year also included the first ever Telefónica Recreational Games, bringing nearly 1,500 people together to participate in contests, games and sports such as soccer, tennis, ping pong and others, thus contributing to the goal of bringing our organization closer together.

 

As in the previous year, presentations were offered to employees enabling them to share cultural and scientific issues with outside experts and exchange ideas, experiences and opinions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of

Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements (including the related notes) are the responsibility of the management of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Chile. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Company’s management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the abovementioned consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

As detailed in Note 2 d) 2), on July 23, 2004, the Company sold its subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of ThCh$303,540,170, which is net of taxes and net of the amortization of the related goodwill.

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

(a)

This amount corresponds to the cost (net of amortizations) of the mandatory reserve paid to the Banco Central de Chile and disbursements incurred for foreign loans obtained by the Company, to finance its investment plan.

(b)

With the new contractual conditions in force in the Company, during 2004 the variable future permanence of employees was modified on the basis of the calculation of staff severance indemnities, a variable determined on the basis of actuarial estimations, as established in Technical Bulletin No. 8 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

  The difference at the beginning of the year as a result of changes in the actuarial estimates constitutes actuarial gains or losses, which are deferred and amortized during the years of average future permanence remaining for the employees that will receive the benefit.

(c)

In conformity with the union agreements between the Company and its employees, loans were granted to employees, the amounts and conditions of which were based, among other aspects, on the accrued balances of staff severance indemnities when they were granted.

  The loan is presented in other long-term receivables. The staff severance indemnities provision has been partially recorded at its current value, deferring and amortizing this effect over the years of average future permanence remaining of the employee who accepted the benefit.

Report on The Financial Statements

a)       During December 2004 and as stated in the sixth clause, letter K of the Bond Issuance Agreement, Telefónica CTC Chile decided to exercise the advanced redemption option of all the Bonds of this series. The amount of the redemption of this issuance is U.F. 3,992,424 plus interest accrued until February 15, 2005, the effective date of the redemption. This has meant recognizing in income the balances pending amortization for “Bond issue expenses” and “Bond discount”, reducing the term to the advanced redemption date. As of December 31, 2004 the extraordinary effects from these amortizations on total income amount to ThCh $ 3,236,587, (included in Financial Expenses).

b)       Starting May 2003 and until December of that same year, Telefónica CTC Chile, partially repurchased US$12.3 million of its placement denominated in the same currency. This repurchase was carried out at an average of 111.05% of par value, which meant a payment of US$13.68 million, plus accrued interest as of that date on the nominal amount of the repurchase. During November and December 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile effected a repurchase offer for the dollar issuances. As a product of this offer, in those

 

 

two months and for that placement, the Company repurchased US$138,082,000. This operation was carried out paying an average price of 107.0 % of the par value. The partial repurchase of this series resulted in the Company recognizing extraordinary proportional amortization of the balances corresponding to “Bond issue expenses” and “Bond discount”, as well as on payment of the repurchase. The net of these three effects of ThCh$6,631,649, was charged to financial expenses for the period.

c)       During November and December 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile deffected an offer to repurchase US$ issuances. As a result of this offer the Company in these two months, and for this placement, repurchased US$43,560,000. This operation was carried out at a price of 105.356% of par value. The partial repurchase of this series meant recognizing extraordinary amortizations proportional to the balances corresponding to “Bond issue expenses”, “Bond discount”, as well as on payment of the repurchase. The net of these three effects of ThCh$1,461,539, was charged to financial expenses for the period.

-        Dividend No. 165, with a charge to retained earnings of ThCh$385,685,783.

-        Dividend No. 166, in the nature of an interim dividend of ThCh$128,561,925, with a charge to 2004 net income.

In the context of the modification of the dividend policy approved in September 2004, the Board agreed to distribute interim dividend (No. 167) with a charge to 2004 net income of $130 per share equivalent to ThCh$124,430,423 which was paid on November 4, 2004.

Report on The Financial Statements

 

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 Chile. First instance sentence accepted the complaint of VTR and the compensation alleged by Telefónica CTC Chile. 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) Lawsuit against the State of Chile:

On October 31, 2001, Telefónica CTC Chile filed an administrative motion to set aside before the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Economy, requesting correction of the errors and illegalities in Rate Decree No. 187 of 1999. On January 29, 2002, the Ministries issued a joint response rejecting the administrative recourse, determination which they arrived at after having “carefully evaluated, only the viability and timeliness of the petition made, considering

 

the set of circumstances that concur in the problem stated and the prudence that must orient public actions”, to add that such rejection “has had no other motivation than to protect the general interest and progress of the telecommunications services”.

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

Currently, in that judicial proceeding, the different expert reports on the diverse aspects of the matter of the lawsuit have already been issued, reports that supported the position sustained by Telefónica CTC Chile during the process.

(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 UF107,000), 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 established among others: maximum debt 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 December 31, 2004 the Company complies with all the financial restrictions.

c) Guarantees:

On September 8, 2003 the Company, through Banco de Crédito e Inversiones, took out a letter of credit in favor of Intelsat to guarantee fulfillment of its obligations product of the use of a satellite. This document was taken for ThCh$1,158,178, with automatic renewal and initial maturity on February 28, 2005.

Compañia de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. and Subsidiaries

Management`s Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2004

1. Highlights

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

As of December 31, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile recorded consolidated net income of Ch$311,629 million, whereas net income for the previous year amounted to Ch$ 10,387 million. Income for 2004

Incorporates 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.

At the operating level, comparisons between 2003 and 2004 show the effects of the deconsolidation of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. as of July 2004.

After excluding the effects of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. from 2003 and 2004, the operating margin reaches 17.8%. 2004 shows a slight increase of 0.4 percentage points in comparison to the operating margin of 17.4% obtained in 2003, notwithstanding that operating income, as detailed below, decreased by 1.7% due to the 4.0% decrease in income whereas operating expenses dropped by 4.5 %.

Operating Income for the Year Excluding Mobile Operations

 

    

of 0.4% in relation to December 31, 2003. ADSL customers reached 200,794 connections with a growth of 60.3% in relation to the previous year. Long distance business traffic increased by 2.6% in domestic long distance (DLD) and 4.2% in outgoing international long distance (ILD), reaching 663.9 million minutes and 67.0 million minutes respectively. ATM links decreased by 7.3%, and dedicated IP links grew by 35.1%.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s personnel included 3,745 employees (excluding the staff of Telefonica Movil de Chile S.A.), which partly explains the 20.7% decrease in comparison to December 2003. This decrease is also due to the effects of Telefonica’s restructuring process materialized in May and November 2004.

Organizational Restructuring

In the framework of the Company’s business restructuring taking place during the year ended as of December 31, 2004, Telefónica modified its executive structure in May and also adjusted its staff in November, in accordance with the changes experienced in the market and the telecommunications business in Chile.

Decrease in Financial Debt

Telefónica CTC Chile has continued to improve its debt level through amortization and prepayment of loans, renegotiation of payment terms and interest rates of current loans and also through the overall market decline in interest rates. As of December 31, 2004, the financial debt reached Ch$606,517 million, reflecting a decrease of 29.8% compared to the financial debt of Ch$863,632 million recorded as of December 31, 2003. The decrease in indebtedness levels together with the improved financing conditions and the drop in the value of the dollar translated in turn into a downturn of 13.9% in financial expenses in 2004.

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 a net income 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 a payment of the debt that Telefónica Móvil de Chile has with the parent company and the purchaser has to pay Telefonica Movil S.A. the tax derived from the operation with 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. Additionally at the 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.

It should be noted that operating income includes a provision for the effect of the tariff decree coming into effect from May 6, 2004 until May 6, 2009, notwithstanding that the Chilean General Comptroller has not published it in the Official Gazette.

Non-operating income for the year ended as of December 31, 2004, shows an income of Ch$275,173 million, which compares positively to the deficit obtained in the same period the previous year in the amount of Ch$ 77,976 million, derived mainly from the gain obtained from the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A, and reduced financial expenses associated to a lower level of debt and better financing conditions.

In respect to the figures of the business, as of December 31, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile’s fixed telephone lines in service reached 2,427,364, presenting an increase

Report on The Financial Statements

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

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

On July 23, 2004, a contract was signed for the sale of shares of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. to TEM Inversiones Chile Limitada, subsidiary of Telefónica Móvil S.A., under the terms agreed upon by the Extraordinary Shareholder’ Meeting of July 15, 2004, in virtue of which TEM Inversiones Chile Limitada, paid US$1,058 on July 28, 2004 for the value of the shares plus Ch$ 161,440,964,893 for the debt that Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. had with Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. as of July 15, 2004. As a result of this operation resulted Telefónica CTC Chile generated an after-tax profit of approximately US$ 470 million.

Repurchase of Yankee Bonds

On December 1, 2004, the Company completed a Tender Offer for US$ 200 million for its two series of Yankee Bonds. The amount repurchased was US$ 182 million and reduced debt from US$ 388 to US$ 206 million.

This measure allowed improving the Company´s leverage, decreases in annual financial expenses and fulfills the commitment to reduce the debt to creditors as part of obtaining waivers for the sale of Telefónica Móvil.

Syndicated Loan for US$ 200 million

On December 16, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile concluded the renegotiation of a syndicated loan for US$ 200 million, which meant among other aspects, extending the debt maturity from February and August 2005 to December 2009 and adjusting the spread over the Libor interest rate, to the current market conditions from 112.5 bps to 40 bps.

Tariff Setting Process for Telefónica CTC (Local Telephony)

On May 4, 2004, the Ministries issued Tariff Decree No. 169 which they sent together with the supporting report to the Chilean General Comptroller for legislative review.

On June 2, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. filed two presentations to the Chilean General Comptroller within the process of recording Tariff Decree No. 169. The first presentation denounces manifest mathematical errors in Decree 169 and requested the authorities to correct them. 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 a complaint with the Chilean General Comptroller against tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to scaling of access charges and the criteria for cost allocation of the various tariffs.

On September 16, 2004, the Ministries issued their report to the Chilean General Comptroller in relation to the impugnation formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile,

 

 

Chilesat, Entel and Telmex. In this respect, the Ministries informed that as a result of the 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.

The Ministries defended the assignment of costs for access charges of Decree No. 169, indicating that such criteria is in accordance with the resolutions of antitrust agencies and pursuant to the Technical and Economic Basis.

With regard to the conceptual aspects claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile that impact the definition and scope of the services included in the decree, the Ministries rejected them, as well as the appeals of Entel, Chilesat and Telmex.

On October 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile appealed again to the Chilean General Comptroller, in order to request correction of new mathematical errors incurred by the Ministries precisely at the moment of correcting the errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile. Likewise, there was insistence on certain conceptual aspects.

Subtel reentered Decree No. 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on December 30, 2004, prior modification of certain tariffs of Network Unbundling services, in the item “Adjustment of Civil Works”. Likewise, Subtel once again modified among other tariffs those of item “Adjustment of Civil Works”, reentering Decree 169 to Chilean General Comptroller on January 14, 2005.

In addition, in January 2005. Entel and Telmex filed new presentations to the Chilean General Comptroller, where Entel made appeals regarding to the tariffs set by the Ministries for providing “Adjustment of Civil Works” and on its part Telmex accompanies information that sustains that access charges tariffs must be based on direct cost.

As of January 31, 2005, the Chilean General Comptroller has not made a pronouncement on Tariff Decree No. 169, the report of the Ministries and the appeals formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. and by the telecommunications companies indicated above.

On February 11 2005, Tariff Decree No.169 was published in the official Gazette resulting in the following tariffs for the five year period, beginning on May 6, 2004.

Telefónica CTC Chile will apply the new tariffs retroactively to customers beginning on May 6, 2004.

Tariff Flexibility

The Official Gazette of February 26, 2004, published Decree No. 742, of December 24, 2003, issued by the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, which regulated conditions (without restrictions as to levels or structure) to the offer of diverse plans and joint offers that can be offered by the dominant operators of the local telephone public service.

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

requested that the authority dictate the corresponding regulation in this respect.

Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. started offering alternatives to the regulated plan in order to adapt to customer’s needs.

Dividend Policy

On September 21, 2004, the Board of Directors of Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. agreed to modify the policy for distributing dividends from 30% to 100% of net income for each year

 

through an interim dividend in November of each year and a final dividend that will be proposed at General Shareholders’ Meeting.

Report on the Financial Statements

 

3. Analysis Of Income For The Period

3.1 Operating Income

As of December 31, 2004, operating income reached Ch$ 99,134 million which represents a decrease of 16.2% compared to previous year.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues for the year amounted to Ch$702,875 million presenting a decrease of 15.6% in relation to revenues obtained in 2003 that reached $833,110 million.

This variance was originated in the decrease in mobile services that were 45.7% below the level of the previous year, due to the deconsolidation of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. in July 2004, together with a 4.0% decrease in income from fixed telephony due to a drop in income from basic telephony, compensated in part by an increase in revenues from broadband and access charges and intercomections.

Revenues from Fixed Telecommunications:

Revenues from fixed telecommunications decreased by 4.0% mainly due to the 10.4% decrease in basic telephony in respect to the previous year, derived from the 19.7% decrease in the level of variable charges, as a consequence of a 5.9% drop in the number of average lines in service, to the drop in traffic per line, the lower revenues provision derived from the application of the new tariff decree, and to the migration of customers to flexible plans. Fixed charge (corresponding to the fixed monthly charge for connection to the network) shows a 5.9% drop which is explained by the decrease in average lines in service and the incorporation of customers to flexible plans, offset in part by the provision for higher revenue due to the effect of the application of the new tariff decree. Revenues from connections and other installations were situated 32.4% under the value reached the previous year, whereas flexible minute plans offered to customers as of 2004 reached Ch $8,692 million, while value added services decreased by 8.0% partly due to the drop in lines in service and the migration of customers to advanced equipment, whereas other basic telephone income shows a drop of 28.9%.

The above was partly compensated by the contribution of broadband services that have been showing sustained growth, reaching Ch$25,162 million in 2004 while the previous year revenues from these services amounted to Ch$13,490 million.

Access charges and interconnections increased by 20.2%, mainly due to a 12.6% increase in revenue from domestic long distance access charges together with a 35.8% increase in other interconnection services.

Other local telephone services increased by 0.7%, (equivalent to Ch$453 million explained basically by the Ch$ 1,802 million growth in revenue from Telemergencia Home Security) service that reached Ch$ 6,681 million in 2004 whereas the previous year they amounted to Ch$4,879 million, to the 6.7% increase in revenues from directory advertising and the 16.3% increase in switchboard and dedicated ISP. The above was partly offset by the decrease in revenue from sale of equipment and lower revenue from public telephones, interior installations and equipment rental.

 

 

Long Distance: Revenues from these services decreased by 2.5% in comparison to 2003, due to a decrease of 8.3% and 5.0% in revenues from DLD and ILD respectively, situation that was influences by a decrease in average outgoing long distance prices, in spite of a 2.6% growth in ILD traffic and a 4.2% increase in outgoing ILD traffic. The above is partly offset by the incorporation of revenue from media and circuit rental to Telefónica Móviles de Chile, as of July 2004.

Corporate Communications:

This business revenue shows a 2.7% increase in respect to the previous year, mainly due to a 13.8% increase in data together with a 13.4% increase in revenues from circuits, partly offsetting the 24.5% drop in revenues from commercialization of terminal equipment.

Mobile Communications:

Total revenues from this business decreased by 45.7% due to the deconsolidation of this business as a result of the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. in July 2004, even though the period from January to June 2004 showed an increase in relation to 2003, mainly due to the growth experienced by the average mobile customer portfolio.

Other Businesses:

This revenue showed a 33.2% decrease mainly due to the deconsolidation of Istel (Company- owned health insurance company) as of September 2003.

Operating Costs

Operating costs for the year reached Ch$ 603,741 million, decreasing by 15.5% in relation to 2003, year in which they reached Ch$ 714,868 million, notwithstanding that when the mobile operations are excluded, consolidated operating costs reached Ch$ 473,878 decreasing by 4.5% in relation to 2003.

This effect is explained by a decrease in the levels of depreciation presented by the Corporation, associated to lower investments. Additionally a decrease in costs is appreciated due to the efforts displayed in the efficient use of resources applied by the Company in the last years.

3.2 Non-operating Income

Non-operating income obtained in the year ended as of December 31, 2004 shows a surplus of Ch$275,173 million, figure that positively compares to the non-operating deficit in 2003 in the amount of Ch$77,976 million. The variation in non-operating income is broken down in the following manner:

Financial income shows an increase of 28.0%, mainly due to higher volumes of available funds arising from the sale of the mobile subsidiary and from operations, which were destined transitorily to financial investments.

Other non-operating income reached Ch$ 475,489 million, mainly due to again generated by the sale of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. and to the sale of the participation in Publiguías recorded in 2004, whereas in 2003 the level of this income was lower, mainly due to the higher market value of Terra Networks shares, the sale of the 35% participation in Sonda and compensatory indemnities.

Management`s Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

3. Analysis of Results for year, continued

 

Financial expenses decreased by 13.9% 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 increased by Ch$116,741 million in relation to 2003, corresponding mainly to amortization of goodwill in the investment in subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. , sold during 2004.

Other non-operating expenses increased by 93.0%, due mainly to restructuring costs and an increase in the expired assets provision recorded in 2004 higher than the costs recorded in 2003.

Price-level restatement from January to December 2004 recorded an income of Ch$ 8,982 million, originated mainly by the effect of foreign currency cash flows from the sale of the mobile subsidiary and in turn to recording payment of the dividend of August 2004 denominated in foreign currency, whereas the previous year net income amounted to Ch$ 651 million. It should be noted that a 100% hedge has been maintained for exchange rate fluctuation and 70% hedge for interest rate. The Company’s exchange rate (peso-dollar) hedge policy in great measure was able to neutralize the effects of the exchange rate variation in 2003 and 2004.

3.3 Net Result For The Year

The net result totaled a net income of Ch$ 311,629 million, in comparison with net income of Ch$ 10,387 million in 2003. The result obtained in 2004 derives mainly from non-operating net income of Ch$ 275,173 million obtained in 2004, partly offset by a 16.2% decrease in operating income and an increase in income tax due mainly to gain from the sale of the mobile subsidiary.

4. Results By Business Area

Fixed Telecommunications Business: Presented a net income of Ch$ 292,336 million in the year, situation that positively compares to the deficit of Ch$ 12,012 million recorded the previous year, due to higher non-operating income mainly due to the effect of the sale of subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. that generated net income of approximately Ch$ 302,658 million (historical), whereas operating

 

 

income decreased by 9.0%. Income from this business excluding the effect of the mobile operation shows a net loss of Ch$ 10,322 million.

Corporate Communications Business: This business contributed with a net income of Ch$15,803 million in the year, an 11.4% decrease in relation to 2003 which shows a net income of Ch$17,841 million, mainly due to 1.2% lower operating income and the higher level of taxes since 2003 had a lower tax load due to the sale of the participation in Sonda. The above is partly offset by the 82.7% decrease in non-operating loss compared to that obtained in 2003.

Long Distance Business: as of December 31, 2004 shows net income of Ch$10,332 million, a 46.1% decrease in relation to the previous year. This variation is composed of a decrease of 23.6% in operating income and a greater non-operating deficit in the amount of Ch$ 4,898 million whereas in 2003 it reached Ch$ 1,035 million.

Mobile Business: The mobile business shows a net loss of Ch$7,978 million in the year, whereas in 2003 it shows net income of Ch$4,664 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 to the effect of the 28.5% increase in its operating costs due to the strong growth it has maintained. In July 2004, due to its sale, Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. was deconsolidated.

Other Businesses: The businesses as a whole generated net income of Ch$1,134 million and operating net income of Ch$ 1,376 million in the year, whereas during the previous year a net loss of Ch$19,274 million was recorded with an operating loss of Ch$10,598 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 Istel (Company-owned health insurance company) in 2003.

The corporate result, excluding the effect to the sale of the mobile operation in the businesses of basic telephone service:

The following graph shows the contribution of each business area to the corporate result, excluding the effect of the sale of the mobile operation in the businesses of basic telephone service:

The common liquidity ratio shows an increase due to a 2.1% increase in current assets, as a product of greater funds transitorily available, whereas current liabilities decreased by 30.3% in respect to the previous year.

The decrease in the debt ratio is explained by a 27.0% drop in the level of demand liabilities, whereas shareholders’ equity decreased

 

by 25.5%, mainly due to the distribution of accumulated net income through payment of dividends.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

  

7. Explanation Of The Main Differences Between Market Or Economic Value And The Book Value Of The Company’s Assets

Due to market inaccuracies regarding the capital assets of the sector, there is no economic or market value that can be compared to the respective accounting values. However, there are certain buildings with a book value of zero or close to zero, which have a market value, which compared to the book value is not significant in respect to the Company’s assets taken as a whole.

In relation to other assets, such as marketable securities (shares and promissory notes) with a referential market value, the corresponding provisions have been set up, when the market value is less than the book value.

8. Regulatory Aspects

Fixed Telephony Tariff Decree

Decree No. 187 is in effect as of May 5, 1999. It establishes maximum tariffs for Telefónica CTC Chile for local telephone services and interconnection services for a period of 5 years, which expires on May 5, 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 the Antitrust Commission to liberate tariffs in specific geographic areas and to 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 tariff setting process for public services provided by Entelphone in Easter Island and the tariffs for interconnection services (access charges) provided by Entelphone, CMET, Telesat and Manquehue Net.

On April 30, Telefónica CTC presented to Subtel its Technical Economic Bases for the Tariff Setting Study for the services provided by Telefónica CTC Chile to other public telephone concessionaries, to intermediate services concessionaries, which provide long distance telephone services, and to suppliers of complementary services.

On May 20, 2003, the antitrust Commission dictated Resolution No.686 which defines the services subject to tariff setting by the Ministries of Economy and Transportation and Telecommunications, which are similar to those established for the 1999 – 2004 period. The mentioned Resolution No. 686 rejects the petition for deregulated tariffs for the specific primary zones requested by Telefónica CTC Chile, and in relation to the request for tariff flexibility, informed favorably by the Regulator, the Resolutive Commission did not

 

 

make a specific pronouncement in spite of the fact that most of its members were in favor of making a pronouncement, whereas the rest of the members considered that such matters did not correspond to that Commission. By request from Telefónica CTC Chile, the Resolutive Commission clarified Resolution No. 686, dictating to this effect Resolution No. 709, which disposed that notwithstanding the rate setting by the administrative authority, the dominant operators could offer lower tariffs 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 Basis. Telefónica CTC Chile formulated 84 controversies to the Preliminary Technical Economic Basis of Subtel and requested the formation of an Experts Commission as defined by 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 which was approved by majority.

On July 25, 2003, Subtel issued Exempt Resolution No. 827 of 2003 which sets the Final Technical Economic Basis that guides the tariff study to set the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services provided by Telefónica CTC Chile that are subject to tariff 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 Basis 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 regulation.

On March 5, 2004, the Ministries presented their Report on Objections and Counterproposals to the Tariff Study filed by Telefónica CTC Chile on November 6, 2003. The Company requested the formation of an Expert Commission, which was officially established on March 12. This Commission issued its report on April 2, ruling on the queries posed by Telefónica CTC Chile.

On April 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed its Report on Amendments and Reiteration for the Tariff Study with the Ministries. This report included the recommendations of the Expert Commission and reiterated support for those matters not subject to the Commission’s opinion.

On May 4, 2004, the Ministries issued Tariff Decree No. 169, which they sent together with the supporting report to the Chilean General Comptroller for legislative review.

On June 2, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed two presentations with the Chilean General Comptroller as part of the decree’s legislative

review process. The first, reported mathematical errors in the decree and requested that the authorities correct them.The second presentation outlined legal objections regarding the conceptual aspects of the decree affecting the definition and the scope of the services included therein. Both presentations expressly reserved the Company’s right to take action before the competent courts.

Entel, Chilesat and Telmex filed a complaint with the Chilean General Comptroller against Tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to the assignment of costs of access charges and the criteria for cost assignation of the different tariffs.

On September 16, 2004, the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications and of Economy, Development and Reconstruction, issued their report to the Chilean General Comptroller in response to the appeals formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile, Chilesat, Entel and Telmex. In this respect, the Ministries informed that as a result of the review of the tariff model many of the mathematical errors claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile were corrected and they also made further corrections to the Tariff Decree.

In turn the Ministries defended the assignment of costs of access charges in T.D. 169, stating that such criteria has been made in conformity with the resolutions of antitrust organizations and those prescribed by the Technical Economic Basis established for this tariff process.

With regard to the conceptual aspects claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile affecting the definition and scope of the services included in the decree, the Ministries rejected them along with the appeals of Entel, Chilesat and Telmex.

On October 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile appealed again to the Chilean General Comptroller in order to request the correction of mathematical errors incurred by the Ministries precisely at the moment of correcting the errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile. Likewise, there was insistence on certain conceptual aspects.

Subtel once again submitted Decree No. 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on December 30, 2004, modifying certain tariffs of network unbundling services, in the item “Adjustment of Civil Works”. Likewise, Subtel once again modified among other tariffs those of item “Adjustment of Civil Works”, resubmitted Decree 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on January 14, 2005.

In addition, in January 2005, Entel and Telmex filed new presentations to the Chilean Genegal Comptroller, where Entel objects to the tariffs set by the Ministries for providing “Adjustment of Civil Works” and on its part Telmex accompanies information that sustains that access charge tariffs must be based on direct cost.

As of January 31, 2005, the Chilean General Comptroller had not made a pronouncement on Tariff Decree No. 169, the report of the Ministries, objections formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. and by the telecommunications companies indicated above.

On February 11, 2005, Tariff Decree No. 169 was published in the Official Gazette resulting in the following tariffs for the five year period, beginning on May 6, 2004.

 

Telefónica CTC Chile will apply the new tariffs retroactively to customers beginning May 6, 2004

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 insufficient to ensure a free pricing system, 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 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.

Tariff flexibility allows Telefónica CTC Chile to offer its customers diverse commercial plans other than the regulated plan, stipulated by the authority, in accordance with the conditions so defined for that purpose by the respective authority.

Telefónica CTC Chile started offering alternatives to the regulated plan in order to adapt to customer’s needs.

Mobile Telephony Tariff Decree

Decree No. 97 is in effect as of February 12, 1999. It establishes maximum tariffs for Telefónica Móvil S.A for interconnection services, including mobile access charges, for a period of five years, which expired on February 12, 2004.

On July 25, 2003, Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. presented the tariff Study to set the tariffs for services subject to regulation.

On January 20, 2004, the Ministries, by means of a decree set the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services subject to tariff setting. That decree was submitted for acceptance by the Chilean General Comptroller, together with the supporting report.

On April 12, 2004, the Chilean General Comptroller accepted 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.

Modifications to the Regulatory Framework

Telephone attention of complaints and gratuity of communications destined to emergency services

Decree No. 590 of the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications mandated free access for communications destined to levels of emergency services 131, 132 and 133 and communications destined to emergency services are exempt from service disconnection; the obligation of the telephone companies to attend to complaints through the telephone is established and a new 105 number for special services is created to his purpose. In this respect,

 

2004 Annual Report Telefónica CTC Chile 141

 



Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

  

Telefónica CTC Chile had already incorporated the gratuity of those communications as of May 6, 2004 based on the coming into force of tariff decree No. 169 and, in turn, attention of claims by telephone had been established since the end of 2000 through its special 107 number. In terms of enabling emergency communications from lines subject to service disconnection, Telefónica CTC Chile provided this service on lines connected to exchanges that had the capacity and functionality to maintain access to emergency services even when the service is cut off due to subscriber delinquency.

New format of Single Telephone Bill.

Decree No. 510 of the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications establishes the minimum contents and other elements of the Single Telephone Bill and sets a period of 120 days which expires on April 6, 2005 to apply the dispositions established in the mentioned decree.

Technical Standard that classifies complementary services into categories.

Through Exempt Resolution No. 1319, of October 6, 2004, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications (Subtel) established supplementary services categories and assigned numbers to the respective categories of complementary services to which users can access through the public telephone network.

Public consultation regarding regulatory projects.

In July and August, Subtel initiated a process of public inquiries with the operators in the telecommunications sector for regulatory proposals for Network Unbundling and IP Telephony, respectively.

The Network Unbundling proposal (that was subjected to a new public inquiry in December), defines the services, their operating conditions and adds new services that modify the conditions already defined in the tariff decree, defining new obligations which renders additional burdens to companies subject to network unbundling (obligation to invest, new rights to clients, discrimination in the obligations according to the technology used, etc.). Additionally, the obligation of resale is established for mobile companies and the resale conditions are regulated for wholesalers of alternative tariff plans offered by Telefónica CTC. The Company participated in the mentioned public inquiries making their observations and formulating their legal objections, emphasizing that the majority of such proposals are a matter of law and not a matter of resolution, while other aspects of the regulatory proposal could not even be addressed as a law since they affect the rights that are guaranteed by the Chilean Constitution.

The proposal for IP Telephony defines a special type of telephony over broadband, which is provided over existing infrastructure and with lower regulatory requirements than traditional telephony (for example: the multicarrier system for domestic long distance is not applied). This discriminates traditional local operators, for which different conditions apply for the same service. The company along with other operators presented its observations and legal objections to the proposal, considering it among others, discriminatory as well as inhibits investment in new infrastructure and broadband.

 

As of January 31, 2005, Subtel has not ruled on the comments and legal objections by Telefónica CTC Chile and the other companies, nor has it issued final regulations.

Lawsuit against the State of Chile

On October 31, 2001, Telefónica CTC Chile, seeking to correct errors in Tariff Decree No. 187 of 1999, filed a motion for reconsideration with the Ministries requesting corrections to the 1999 Tariff Decree No. 187. On January 29, 2002, the Ministries issued a joint rejection of this request, explaining that “having carefully evaluated, only the feasibility and timeliness of the petition made, considering the set of circumstances in the problem and the prudence that must orient public actions”, and that the rejection “has had no other motivation than to protect the general interest and progress of the telecommunications services”.

Having exhausted all administrative remedies aimed at correcting the illegal actions taken in the tariff-setting process of May 1999, in March 2002, Telefónica CTC Chile filed lawsuit for damages against the Government in the amount of Ch$ 181,038,411,056 plus readjustments and interest, covering past and future damages incurred up to May 2004.

Proceedings are currently underway and expert reports have been presented on various aspects of the case supporting the position held by Telefónica CTC Chile.

9. Analysis Of The Markets, Competition And Relative Participation

Relevant aspects of the industry.

During 2004, the Telecommunications industry maintained the dynamism that characterizes it, with important events such as mergers and acquisitions and the constant changes in consumer choices for telecommunications services.

It is estimated that lines in service during 2004 reached 3.3 million reflecting a 2% increase in respect to the same period last year, like-wise, voice services show annual variations of approximately -5% in local, -9.4% in DLD and –0.1% in ILD.

It is estimated that in 2004 the mobile telephony market reached a total of 9.5 million subscribers, which represents accumulated growth in the order of 28% as of December 2004.

During 2004, the Internet market shows a migration from narrow-band with a total of 6,415 million minutes and a 42% increase in the Broadband market which, as of December 2004, reaches 506 thousand accesses, 53% using ADSL.

Relevant aspects in the competitive arena.

Telefónica Móviles S.A. ( TEM ) acquires the assets of Bellsouth in Latin America and the mobile subsidiary of Telefónica CTC Chile.

On March 8, 2004, Telefónica Móviles S.A. announced a purchase agreement for the assets of Bellsouth Corporation in Latin America. This agreement includes Bellsouth’s mobile operations in Chile

which operates on a 25 Mhz spectrum in the 800 Mhz band with TDMA and 10 Mhz in the 1900 Mhz band with CDMA.

On May 18, 2004, the Board of Directors of Telefónica CTC Chile unanimously approved the offer made by Telefónica Móviles S.A., to purchase 100% of the mobile subsidiary of Telefónica CTC Chile S.A., subject to the approval of the Shareholders’ Meeting.

On July 15, 2004, the Shareholders’ Meeting was held to decide on the sale of the mobile subsidiary of Telefónica CTC, in which the shareholders made a counteroffer that meant that Telefónica Móviles S.A had to assume payment of the taxes derived from the operation.

On July 23, 2004, the sales contract was signed for all the shares of the subsidiary; with which, Telefónica CTC Chile no longer participates in the mobile business.

Telefónica Móviles S.A consults the Bellsouth purchase with the Antitrust Commission

Telefónica Móviles S.A., subsidiary of Telefónica S.A. consulted with the Court of Free Competition in respect to the contract denominated “Stock Purchase Agreement” dated March 5, 2004, signed with Bellsouth Corporation, through which it acquires all the telephone assets of the latter within Central and South America, among which is its indirect participation in 100% of Bellsouth Chile S.A., current mobile telephone operator in the Chilean market.

On January 4, 2005 the Antitrust Commission approved the inquiries of Telefónica Móviles S.A., subsidiary of Telefónica S.A., setting a series of conditions for the merger. One of these conditions directly affects Telefónica CTC Chile, establishing that, all joint offers for regular and mobile telephone services, commercialized by the merged company and which considers regular telephone services provided by Telefónica CTC Chile, will be understood as a joint offer made by Telefónica CTC Chile and therefore must be regulated by Decree No. 742 of the Undersecretary of Telecommunications of Chile, published on February 26, 2004.

Telmex enters the domestic market with the purchase of AT&T LA and Chilesat.

In April 2003, AT&T Latin America, owner of AT&T Chile, filed to reorganize its operations Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Law of the United States. This process derived in a private auction in October 2003 which was granted to Telmex who take over the operation in the first quarter of 2004. At the end of April 2004, Telmex announced the acquisition of Chilesat Corp (third long distance operator), which was completed in June 2004. After the operation Telmex owns 99% of Chilesat; beginning the integration of the operations of the acquired companies.

Liberty Media takes control of United Global Com, Parent Company Office of VTR.

On January 5, 2004 Liberty Media, owner of 50% of Metrópolis Intercom in association with the Claro Group, announced the takeover of the management of United Global Com, owner of 100% of VTR

 

Chile. After that operation, Liberty requested the Antitrust Commission analyze the possibility of merging VTR and Metrópolis Intercom. Both companies concentrate 98% of the Cable TV market in Chile (over 90% in Pay TV) and are relevant competitors in the broadband market providing cable modem. Likewise, VTR is the second operator of local telephone services in the country.

On June 9, 2004 the National Economic Attorney General’s Office issued its report to the Antitrust Commission recommending the authorization of the merger subject to compliance with a series of restrictions.

On October 25, 2004, the Antitrust Commission resolved to approve the merger of VTR and Metrópolis Intercom, requiring certain conditions, of distribution of contents, prices and quality of service and opening of cable network broadband to other ISP. These conditions are applied to ensure development of effective competition in the pay TV market in the short-term.

Operators double Broadband speed at the same price.

On September 24, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile announced it would double the connection speed for all its broadband customer, maintaining the same prices. This commercial offer was subsequently followed by the other operators.

Analysis of relative market share

Local Telephone Service.

This market contemplates providing local telephone services inside the primary areas, interconnection with other telecommunications companies and other unregulated local telephone services. Concessions granted by the Undersecretary of Telecommunications and the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications (Subtel) are the entry barriers to this industry.

The fixed telephony segment is comprised of eight urban and three rural companies operating under license. Market penetration in terms of lines in service stood at 20.8 per 100 inhabitants at December 2004, a slight increase compared to 20.5% in 2003.

Long Distance.

This market contemplates communications services between primary areas (DLD) and international communications (ILD), also known as intermediate services.

On March 9, 1994 Law No. 19,302 came into effect. It establishes the application of a multicarrier system for domestic and international long distance.This law allows local telephone operators to participate in the long distance market through an independent subsidiary subject to a series of requirements.

In this market there are currently 15 companies operating with 18 carrier codes. Traffic in the DLD market, through fixed telephone lines recorded a drop estimated at 12.2% in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to the fourth quarter of 2003. In the same period a decrease of 4.5% of market ILD traffic is estimated. In the year end 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile, through its subsidiaries Telefónica Mundo 188 and Globus 120, reached an estimated 45.2% market

 

2004 Annual Report Telefónica CTC Chile 143

 



Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

 

share in domestic long distance and 30.0% in outgoing international long distance. Likewise, in annual terms, Telefónica CTC Chile reached an estimated market share of 44.4% in domestic long distance and 31.2% in outgoing international long distance.

Corporate Communications.

This business area provides circuit and data services (Datared, E1, ATM, Frame Relay), IP network solutions, Hosting, ASP and advanced telecommunications solutions for companies with Internet service providers (ISPs). Likewise includes commercialization of advanced equipment (multiple lines and PABx, among others).

In this business Telefónica CTC Chile competes with 8 companies in the private services arena and in the hosting business with at least 10 companies, reaching a market share of revenues of approximately 47% as of the third quarter of 2004, including sales of advanced equipment to companies.

Mobile Communications.

Provides mobile communication services (cellular telephones, pagers, trunking and wireless data transmission). There are four mobile telephone operators, one smaller operator of mobile satellite communications and one operator that offers digital trunking which is authorized to interconnect to the public mobile network.

Telefónica CTC Chile stopped offering mobile telephone services in July 2004. It currently maintains the relationship with this sector through incoming and outgoing local telephone network services. Fixed-mobile traffic from January to December 2004 has stayed at a similar level as the same period last year, with an upward trend since the second half of 2004, mainly due to the 27% decrease in access charges to mobile networks and the increase in mobile telephone subscribers. On the contrary, mobile-fixed traffic increased by +9% between both years.

Pay TV.

The pay television market is composed of two main competitors in a merger process (VTR and Metrópolis Intercom) who jointly have over 90% of the Pay TV market with 764,946 connections as of September 2004, two satellite TV operators and close to 20 Cable TV operators in specific areas, which altogether do not exceed 4% of the market share.

Internet Access.

In this market there are currently approximately 35 ISPs operating effectively, with three of these concentrating 82% of switchboard traffic. IP traffic (switchboard) accumulated from January to December 2004 in the network of Telefónica CTC Chile reached the order of 6,415 million minutes with a 23% drop with respect to the same period in 2003, mainly due to migration of users to broadband. Telefónica CTC Chile continues with an intensive deployment of Internet access through ADSL broadband, directly to the customer and through a wholesale model in the ISP industry. As of December

 

2004, Telefónica CTC Chile broadband connections in service reached 200,794 with a growth of 60% with respect to December 2003, achieving an estimated broadband market share of 40% (considering speeds equal to or exceeding 128 kbps).

Other Businesses.

There are seven nationwide companies of which CTC Equipos, as of December 2004 has approximately 25% market share considering 10,288 public telephones. Additionally, Telefónica CTC Chile has another 17,991 community telephones installed.

On November 20, 2001 a new subsidiary was formed to commercialize and install security and monitoring systems for residential and corporate customers, providing surveillance services and any other service relating to the above. As of September 2004 it is estimated that Telefónica CTC Chile has a market share of 30% in this service.

10. ANALYSIS OF MARKET RISK

Financial Risk Coverage

With the attractive interest rates in certain periods, the Company has obtained financing abroad, denominated primarly in dollars and euros and in certain cases, at a variable interest rate. For this reason the Company is exposed to 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 with the purpose of reducing 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 instruments.

As of December 31, 2004, total interest bearing debt was US$1,086.8 million, including US$ 731.0 million in financial liabilities in dollars, US$ 259.9 million in debt denominated in “unidades de fomento” and US$ 95.8 million of debt in Chilean pesos. In this manner US$ 731.0 million corresponded to debt exposed to foreign currencies and therefore directly or indirectly exposed to the variations of the dollar. Simultaneously, the Company had dollar/UF, dollar/peso exchange insurance and assets in dollars that resulted, (at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004), in exposure to foreign exchange, close to 0%

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 increases in interest rate.

Report on the Financial Statements

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had debts at variable interest rates, Libor, Euro Libor and TAB mainly for syndicated loans.

To protect the Company from increases in the variable (floating) interest rates, derivative financial instruments have been used, particularly Forward Rate Agreements (which protect the Libor rate), to limit the future fluctuations of interest rates. As of December 31, 2004 this has allowed the Company to end with an exposure of 70% of total interest bearing debt.

Report on the Financial Statements

Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish)

 

1. Registration in the Securities Registry:

The Company is an open stock corporation that is registered in the Securities Registry under No. 009 and is therefore subject to supervision by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance.

2. Significant Accounting Principles:

(a) Accounting period:

The financial statements cover the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

(b) Basis of preparation:

These individual financial statements (hereinafter the financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Chile and standards set forth by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, except for investments in subsidiaries, which are recorded on a single line of the balance sheet at their equity value, and therefore, have not been consolidated line by line. This treatment does not modify net income for the year or equity.

In case of discrepancies between Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Chile issued by the Chilean Accountants Association and the standards set forth by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, the standards set forth by the Superintendency shall prevail for the Company.

These financial statements have been issued only for the purpose of individually analyzing the Company and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, which are required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Chile.

(c) Basis of preparation:

The consolidated financial statements for 2003 and their notes have been adjusted for comparison purposes by 2.5%. For comparison purposes there have been certain reclassifications made to the 2003 financial statements.

(d) Price-level restatement:

The financial statements have been adjusted by applying price-level restatement standards, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Chile, in order to reflect the changes in the purchasing power of the currency during both years. The accumulated variation in the CPI as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, for initial balances, is 2.5% and 1.0%, respectively.

(e) Basis of conversion:

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

Exchange rate differences originating in the application of this Standard, are credited or debited to income for the year.

(f) Time deposits:

Time deposits are carried at cost, plus accrued interest and adjustments as of year-end.

(g) Marketable securities:

Fixed income securities are carried at price-level restated cost or market value, whichever is less, plus accrued interest at each year end, using the real interest rate calculated at the date of acquisition.

(h) Inventories:

Equipment destined for sale, is carried at price-level restated acquisition cost or at market value, whichever is less.

Inventories deemed to be used during the next twelve months are classified as current assets and their cost is price-level restated. The obsolescence provision has been determined on the basis of a survey of materials with slow turnover.

(i) Allowance for doubtful accounts:

In the calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts, differentiated percentages are applied, taking into consideration aging factors and eventual administrative collections costs, reaching in some cases 100% for debts over 120 days.

(j) Property, plant and equipment:

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

Property, plant and equipment acquired up to December 31, 1979 are carried at their appraisal value, as stipulated in Article 140 of D.F.L. No. 4, and those acquired subsequently are carried at their acquisition value, except for those assets that are carried at appraisal value recorded as of June 30, 1986, as authorized in Circular No. 550 issued by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance. All these values have been price-level restated.

(k) Depreciation:

Depreciation has been calculated and recorded on the basis of the

 

2004 Annual Report Telefónica CTC Chile 155

 



Notes to the Financial Statements, continued

2. Significant Accounting Principles, continued

 

values stated above, by applying set factors determined on the basis of the estimated useful lives of the assets. The average annual financial depreciation rate of the Company is approximately 6.79%.

(l) Leased assets:

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

(m) Intangibles software licenses:

Software licenses are valued at their price-level restated acquisition cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on the periods in which it is deemed that the license will provide benefits, which does not exceed 4 years.

(n) Investments in related companies:

These investments are shown at their equity value, recognizing The investee`s share of income on an accrual basis. For investments abroad the valuation methodology applied is that defined in Technical Bulletin No. 64. These investments are controlled in dollars, since they are in countries deemed to be unstable according to that Bulletin and their activities do not constitute an extension of the operations of the Parent Company.

(ñ) Goodwill:

In the case of investments made through December 31, 2003, corresponds to the excess of the purchase price of an investment over the net book value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the equity method. Goodwill amortization periods have been determined considering factors such as the nature and characteristics of the business and the estimated period of return of the investment.

Goodwill impairment has been assessed as required in Circular No. 151, of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance and Technical Bulletin No. 72, of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

(o) Transactions with resale or repurchase agreements:

Purchases of financial instruments with resale agreements are recorded as fixed rate securities and are classified under Other Current Assets.

(p) Obligations with the public:

    Bonds payable: are presented in liabilities at the par value of the issued bonds (see note 16b). The difference between the par and placement value, determined on the basis of the designated

 

 

interest rate for the transaction, is deferred and amortized straight-line over the term of the respective bond (see notes 8 and 13).

    Commercial paper is presented in liabilities at its placement value, plus accrued interest (see note 16a).

Costs directly related to the placement of these obligations are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the respective liability.

(q) Income tax and deferred income tax:

Income tax is recorded on the basis of taxable net income. Recognition of deferred taxes on all temporary differences, utilizable tax loss carry forwards, and other events that create differences between the tax and accounting base, is recorded following Technical Bulletins No. 60 and 69 of the Chilean Accountants Association and as established by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance in Circular No. 1,466 dated January 27, 2000.

On September 28, 2001 Law No. 19,753 was published, increasing the income tax rate to 16% in 2002, 16.5% in 2003 and 17% in 2004 and thereon. As of December 31 of each period presented, deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the increase in tax rate. Recognition for the effect on deferred taxes from an increase in income tax rates follows Technical Bulletin No. 71 issued by of the Chilean Accountants Association. (See Note 7).

(r) Staff severance indemnities:

For employees subject to this benefit the Company’s staff severance indemnities obligation is provided for by applying the present value of the obligation using an annual discount rate of 7%, considering the projected service period of the employee determined on the basis of actuarial calculations (see note 18).

Actuarial gains and losses are deferred and amortized over average periods of employee service.

(s) Operating revenues:

The Company’s revenues are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile. Since billing is performed on cycle rather than month-end dates, revenue has been accrued for services that have not been invoiced, determined on the basis of the contracts in force. These amounts are recorded under Trade Accounts Receivable.

Report on the Financial Statements

 

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 25, 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.

(u) 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 Note 25).

(v) Computer software:

The cost of software purchased is deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over a maximum period of four years.

(w) Research and development expenses:

Research and development expenses are charged to income in the period in which they are incurred. Those expenses have not been significant in recent years.

(x) Accumulated adjustment for conversion differences:

The Company recognizes in this equity reserve account the difference between the variation of the exchange rate and the Consumer Price Index (C.P.I.) originated when restating its investments abroad, which are controlled in United States dollars; it also includes adjustments for conversion differences arising from subsidiaries and related companies that have recognized it for their investments abroad. The balance of this account is credited (charged) to income in the same period in which the gain or loss over total or partial disposal of these investments is recognized.

 

(y) 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.

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

3. Accounting Changes:

a) Accounting changes

b) Change in estimate

As a product of this change in estimate, at the beginning of the year, the Company recorded deferred charge for ThCh$5,668,155, which will be amortized over the period of future permanence of employees eligible for the benefit (see Note 13b).

On January 1, 2003 Telefónica Data Chile S.A. merged with Telefónica Empresas CTC Chile S.A., producing a capital increase of ThCh$414, equivalent to 2,878 shares, which was paid by CTC Equipos y Servicios S.A. and corresponds to its participation in the share capital of the absorbed company.

(2)

Investment for which a provision has been established equivalent to the participation percentage of the company in the negative shareholders’ equity of this related company. This provision is presented under “other current liabilities” for 2003. On December 31, 2003 Telefónica CTC Chile concurred with ThCh$4,268,000 (historical), in the capital increase of the same company. After the contribution of Telefónica CTC Chile its participation increased by 0.262%.

(3)

On September 1. Telefónica CTC Chile, sold 100% of its participation in this subsidiary for UF 9,175; this operation resulted in Telefónica CTC Chile recognizing a net loss on the sale of subsidiary in the amount of ThCh$66,705. Income earned by this subsidiary is recognized until August 31, 2003.

(4)

On July 29, 2003, Inversiones Santa Isabel Ltda. communicated its decision to exercise the purchase option for the remaining 35% of ownership 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, equivalent to a total of UF 1,972,206. This transaction resulted in Telefónica recognizing a loss of ThCh$6,999,276 before taxes (ThCh$5,683,065 net of the effect of historical taxes).

As of September 30, 2003, because Telefónica Empresas did not have a participation in Sonda S.A., it only recognized 35% of the income of Sonda S.A. recorded up to June 30, 2003 as equity value

(5)

On April 26, 2004, Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A., sold to Telefónica Publicidad e Información S.A. all its participation in Impresora y Comercial Publiguías S.A., amounting to 9% of the stock capital. The price of the transaction was US$ 14,760,000, equivalent to Ch$9,013 million, with positive income after taxes of Ch$4,940 million (See Note 20a).

(6)

On July 23, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile sold 100% of its participation in Telefónica Móvil Chile S.A. The amount of the operation meant a disbursement on the part of Telefónica Móviles S.A. (purchasing company) in the amount of US$1,058 million, which were paid on July 28 , 2004.

 

For Telefónica CTC Chile this transaction meant recognizing an effect on income (gain) after extraordinary amortization of goodwill as of June 2004, associated with the investment (see note 12a) and net of taxes, in the amount of ThCh$303,540,170 (equivalent to approximately US$ 470 million as of the date of the transaction).

(7)

The Company records its investment in TBS Celular using the equity method since it exerts significant influence through the business group to which it belongs, as established in paragraph No. 4 of Circular No. 1179 issued by the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, and ratified in Title II of Circular No. 1697.

 

For this purpose it has been considered that although Telefónica CTC Chile directly only has a 2.61% participation in TBS Celular, its Parent Company Telefónica España directly or indirectly has a percentage that exceeds 20% ownership of the share capital of that company.

(8)

Investment for which a provision has been established that is equivalent to the participation percentage of the company in the negative shareholders’ equity of this related company. This provision is presented under other current liabilities.

As of the date of these financial statements there are no liabilities contracted with hedge instruments assigned to foreign investments. Regarding foreign investments, the Company has the intention of permanently reinvesting net income; therefore there is no potentially remittable net income.

(a)

This amount corresponds to the cost (net of amortizations) of the mandatory reserve paid to the Banco Central de Chile and disbursements incurred for foreign loans obtained by the Company, to finance its investment plan.

(b)

With the new contractual conditions in force in the Company, during 2004 the variable future permanence of employees was modified on the basis of the calculation of staff severance indemnities, a variable determined on the basis of actuarial estimations, as established in Technical Bulletin No. 8 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

 

The difference at the beginning of the year as a result of changes in the actuarial estimates constitutes actuarial gains or losses, which are deferred and amortized during the years of average future permanence remaining for the employees that will receive the benefit.

(c)

In conformity with the union agreements between the Company and its employees, loans were granted to employees, the amounts and conditions of which were based, among other aspects, on the accrued balances of staff severance indemnities when they were granted.

 

The loan is presented in other long-term receivables. The staff severance indemnities provision has been partially recorded at its current value, deferring and amortizing this effect over the years of average future permanence remaining of the employee that accepted the benefit.

Report on the Financial Statements


 

a) During December 2004 and as stated in the sixth clause, letter K of the Bond Issuance Agreement, Telefónica CTC Chile decided to exercise the advanced redemption option of all the Bonds of this series. The amount of the redemption of this issuance is U.F. 3,992,424 plus interest accrued until February 15, 2005, the effective date of the redemption. This has meant recognizing in income the balances pending amortization for “Bond issue expenses” and “Bond discount”, reducing the term to the advanced redemption date. As of December 31, 2004 the extraordinary effects from these amortizations on income amount to ThCh $ 3,236,587 (included in Financial Expenses).

b) Starting May 2003 and until December of that same year, Telefónica CTC Chile, partially repurchased US$12.3 million of its placement denominated in the same currency. This repurchase was carried out at an average of 111.05% of par value, which meant a payment of US$13.68 million, plus accrued interest as of that date on the nominal amount of the repurchase. During November and December 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile effected a repurchase offer for the dollar issuances. As a result of this offer, in those two months and for that placement, the Company repurchased US$ 138,082,000.

 

 

This operation was carried out paying an average price of 107.0 % of the par value. The partial repurchase of this series resulted in the Company recognizing extraordinary proportional amortization of the balances corresponding to “Bond issue expenses” and “Bond discount”, as well as on payment of the repurchase. The net of these three effects of ThCh$6,631,649, were charged to financial expenses for the period.

c) During November and December 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile effected an offer to repurchase US$ issuances. As a result of this offer the Company in these two months, and for this placement, repurchased US$ 43,560,000. This operation was carried out paying a price of 105.356% of par value. The partial repurchase of this series meant recognizing extraordinary amortizations proportional to the balances corresponding to “Bond issue expenses”, “Bond discount”, as well as on payment of the repurchase. The net of these three effects of ThCh$1,461,539, was charged to financial expenses for the period.

Notes to the Financial Statements, continued

19. Equity, continued:

 

i) Dividend policy:

On September 21, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors, in view of the cash situation, levels of projected investment and solid financial indicators for 2004 and thereafter, modified the distribution of dividends reported to the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of April 2004, and declared that it is the intention of the Board to distribute 100% of net income earned during the respective year, through an interim dividend in November of each year and a final dividend in May of the following year and that will be submitted to the corresponding Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting.

 

Both dividends, in the amount of US$ 800 million, were subject to materialization 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 it assuming the taxes arising out of the sale operation, that amount to US$ 51 million.

On July 23, 2004, the agreement for the sale of the shares of the former subsidiary Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. was signed. Therefore, on August 31, 2004, the Company paid the dividends resulting from the sale of its subsidiary. The dividends are analyzed in the following manner:

ii) Dividends distributed in the year:

On July 11, 2003, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting agreed to pay a dividend of ThCh$16,750,249 (historical), with a charge to retained earnings as of December 31, 2002, which was paid on July 31, 2003.

On April 15, 2004, the Annual Geneal Shareholders’ Meeting approved a final dividend of (No. 164) Ch$3.20 per share equivalent to ThCh $3,062,903, with a charge to net income for 2003. The dividend was paid on May 7, 2004.

Additionally, during July 2004 the following dividend distribution was agreed:

- On June 14, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to give shareholders’ a temporary dividend out of 2004 net income.

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

 

• Dividend No. 165, with a charge to retained earnings of ThCh$385,685,783.

• Dividend No. 166, in the nature of an interim dividend of ThCh$128,561,925, with a charge to 2004 net income.

In the context of the modification of the dividend policy approved in September 2004, the Board agreed to distribute interim dividend (No. 167) with a charge to 2004 net income of $130 per share equivalent to ThCh$124,430,423 which was paid on November 4, 2004.

Report on the Financial Statements

 

 

26. 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) Lawsuit against the State of Chile:

On October 31, 2001, Telefónica CTC Chile filed an administrative motion to set aside before the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Economy, requesting correction of the errors and illegalities in Rate Decree No. 187 of 1999. On January 29, 2002, the Ministries issued a joint response rejecting the administrative recourse, determination which they arrived at after having “carefully evaluated, only the viability and timeliness of

 

 

the petition made, considering the set of circumstances that concur in the problem stated and the prudence that must orient public actions”, to add that such rejection “has had no other motivation than to protect the general interest and progress of the telecommunications services”.

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

Currently, in that judicial proceeding, the different expert reports on the diverse aspects of the matter of the lawsuit have already been issued, reports that supported the position sustained by Telefónica CTC during the process.

(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 14, 15 and 16), which established among others: maximum debt 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 December 31, 2004 the Company complies with all the financial restrictions.

Notes to the Financial Statements, continued

 

29. Sanctions:

Neither the Company, nor its Directors and Managers have been sanctioned by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance or any other administrative authority during 2004.

30. Subsequent Events:

a) Placement of first issuance of Negotiable Instruments line No. 015

On January 18, 2005, Telefónica CTC Chile made the first placement from line No. 15 registered for ThCh$35,000,000 at the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance on May 12, 2004. The amount of the placement is ThCh$12,000,000, broken down into series E1 - E2, the amount raised was ThCh$11,676,635 at 0.31% per month and the maturity date of which is October 13, 2005.

The placement agent for this process was Inversiones Boston Corredores de Bolsa.

b) Renewal of bilateral loan with BBVA NY

On January 21, 2005, Telefónica CTC Chile and BBVA N.Y. agreed to extend the bilateral loan granted originally on January 21, 1998, the renewal was for 1 year, maturing on January 23, 2006.

32. Time deposits:

The detail of time deposits at december 31, 2004 is as follows:

 

 

The amount of the loan is US$25 million at an interest rate of Libor 90 days plus a margin of 30 bps. Interest will be paid quarterly on April 21, 2005, July 21, 2005, October 21, 2005 and January 23, 2006. The interest rate set for the first period of interest is 2.98% (Libor 3 months 2.68% + 0.30%).

In the period from January 1 to 21, 2005, there have been no other significant subsequent events that affect these financial statements.

Compañia de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Individual Financial Statements

For the years ended as of December 31, 2004 and 2003

1. Highlights

Results for the Period and Business Statistics for the Company

As of December 31, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile recorded consolidated net income of Ch$311,629 million, whereas net income for the previous year amounted to Ch$10,387 million. Income for 2004 incorporates 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. (historic value)

It should be noted that operating income includes a provision for the effect for the year 2004 of the tariff decree coming into effect from May 6, 2004 until May 6, 2009 notwithstanding that the Chilean General Comptroller has not published it in the official gazette, (on february 11, 2005, the tariff decree was published in Official Gazette).

Non-operating income for the year ended as of December 31, 2004, shows an income of Ch$318,446 million, which compares positively to the deficit obtained in the same period the previous year in the amount of Ch$13,511 million, derived mainly from the gain obtained from the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A, and reduced financial expenses associated to a lower level of debt and better financing conditions.

In respect to the figures of the business, as of December 31, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile’s fixed telephone lines in service reached 2,427,364, presenting an increase of 0.4% in relation to December 31, 2003. ADSL customers reached 200,794 connections with a growth of 60.3% in relation to the previous year. The ATM links decreased by 7.3%, and dedicated IP links grew by 35.1%.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s staff reached 2,816, which implies an increase of 7.3% in respect to December 2003.

Organizational Restructuring

In the framework of the Company’s business restructuring taking place during the year ended as of December 31, 2004, Telefónica modified its executive structure in May and also adjusted its staff in November, in accordance with the changes experienced in the market and the telecommunications business in Chile.

Decrease in Financial Debt

Telefónica CTC Chile has continued to improve its debt level through amortization and prepayment of loans, renegotiation of payment terms and interest rates of current loans and also through the overall market decline in interest rates. As of December 31, 2004, the financial debt reached Ch$606,517 million, reflecting a decrease of 29.8% compared to the financial debt of Ch$863,632 million recorded as of December 31, 2003. The decrease in indebtedness levels together with the improved financing conditions and the drop in the value of the dollar translated in turn into a downturn of 13.9% in financial expenses in 2004, in comparison to 2003.

 

 

Sale of Participation in Publiguías

On April 26, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile sold to Telefónica Publicidad e Información S.A. 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 a net income 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 payment of the debt that Telefónica Móvil de Chile has with the parent company and the purchaser has to pay the tax derived from the operation with 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. Additionally at the meeting held on July 15, 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 Telefónica Móvil de Chile.

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

On July 23, 2004, a contract was signed for the sale of shares of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. to TEM Inversiones Chile Limitada, subsidiary of Telefónica Móvil S.A., under the terms agreed upon by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of July 15, 2004, in virtue of which TEM Inversiones Chile Limitada, paid US$1,058 on July 28, 2004 for the value of the shares plus Ch$161,440,964,893 for the debt that Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. had with Compañía de Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A. as of July 15, 2004. This operation resulted in Telefónica CTC Chile recording an after-tax profit of approximately US$ 470 million (historic).

Repurchase of Yankee Bonds

On December 1, 2004, the Company completed a Tender Offer for US$200 million for its two series of Yankee Bonds. The amount repurchased was US$182 million and reduced debt from US$ 388 to US$ 206 million.

This measure allowed improving the Company’s leverage, decreasing annual financial expenses and also fulfills the commitment to

reduce the debt to creditors as part of obtaining waivers for the sale of Telefónica Móvil.

Syndicated Loan for US$ 200 million

On December 21, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile S.A. concluded the renegotiation of a syndicated loan for US$ 200 million, which meant among other aspects, extending the debt maturity from February and August 2005 to December 2009 and adjusting the spread over the Libor interest rate, to 40 BPS.

Tariff Setting Process for Telefónica CTC Chile (Local Telephony)

On May 4, 2004, the Ministries issued Tariff Decree No. 169 which they sent together with the supporting report to the Chilean General Comptroller for legislative review.

On June 2, Telefónica CTC Chile filed two presentations to the Chilean General Comptroller within the process of recording Tariff Decree No. 169. The first presentation denounces manifest mathematical errors in Decree 169 and requested the authorities to correct them. 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 a complaint with the Chilean General Comptroller against tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to scaling of access charges and the criteria for cost allocation of the various tariffs.

On September 16, 2004, the Ministries, issued their report to the Chilean General Comptroller in relation to the claims formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile, Chilesat, Entel and Telmex. In this respect, the Ministries informed that as a result of the 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.

The Ministries defended the scaling of costs for access charges of Decree No. 169, indicating that such criteria is in accordance with the resolutions of antitrust agencies and pursuant to the Technical Economic Basis.

With regard to the conceptual aspects claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile that impact the definition and scope of the services included in the decree, the Ministries rejected them, as well as the appeals of Entel, Chilesat and Telmex.

On October 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile appealed again to the Chilean General Comptroller, in order to request correction of new mathematical errors incurred by the Ministries precisely at the moment of correcting the errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile. Likewise, there was insistence on certain conceptual aspects.

Subtel reentered Decree No. 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on December 30, 2004, prior modification of certain tariffs of Network Unbundling services, in the item “Adjustment of Civil

 

Works”. Likewise, Subtel once again modified among other tariffs those of item “Adjustment of Civil Works”, reentering Decree 169 to the Comptroller on January 15, 2005.

In addition, in January 2005. Entel and Telmex filed new presentations to the Comptroller, where Entel made appeals regarding to the tariffs set by the Ministries for providing “Adjustment of Civil Works” and on its part Telmex accompanied information that sustains that access charges must be based on direct cost.

Telefónica CTC Chile will apply the new tariffs retroactively to customers as of on May 6, 2004.

On February II, 2005, Tariff Decree N0. 169 was published in the Official Gazette (See Regulatory Framework)

Tariff Flexibility

The Official Gazette of February 26, 2004, published Decree No. 742, of December 24, 2003, issued by the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, which regulated conditions (without restrictions as to levels or structure) to the offer of diverse plans and joint offers can be offered by the dominant operators of the local telephone public service.

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

Telefónica CTC Chile started offering alternatives to the regulated plan in order to adapt to customer’s needs.

Dividend Policy.

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

3. Analysis of Results for the year

3.1 Operating Income

As of December 31, 2004, operating income reached Ch$46,829 million, which represents a decrease of 3.0% compared to the previous year.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues for the year amounted to Ch$426,034 million presenting a decrease of 4.0% in relation to revenues obtained in 2003 which reached $443,597 million.

This variance originated mainly in a decrease of 9.9% in basic telephony with respect to the previous year, derived from the 19.4% decrease in variable charge as a consequence of a 5.9% drop in the number of average lines in service, of the drop in traffic per line, of the revenue provision derived from the application lower variable change tariffs of the new tariff decree, and of the migration of customers to flexible plans. Fixed charge, (corresponding to the fixed monthly charge for connection to the network), shows a 5.9% drop which is explained by the decrease in average lines in service and the incorporation of customers to flexible plans, offset in part by the provision for higher revenue due to the effect of the application of the new tariff decree. Revenue from connections and other installations was situated 32.4% under the value reached the previous year, whereas flexible minute plans offered to customers as of 2004 reached Ch$8,692 million, and value added services decreased by 13.5% partly due to the drop in lines in service and the migration of customers to advanced equipment.

The above was partly compensated by the contribution of broadband services that have been showing sustained growth, reaching Ch$18,946 million in 2004 while the previous year revenue from these services amounted to Ch$8,275 million.

Access charges and interconnections increased by 16.8%, mainly due to an 18.3% increase in revenue from domestic long distance charges together with a 17.1% increase in other interconnection services.

Other local telephone services decreased by 19.9%, equivalent to Ch$5,381 million explained basically by the decrease in income from sale of equipment and due to lower revenue from public telephones, interior installations and equipment rental.

This was partly offset by the 6.7% revenue increase of from directory advertising.

Operating Costs

Operating costs for the year reached Ch$379,205 million, decreasing by 4.1% in relation to 2003, year in which they reached Ch$395,326 million.

This effect is explained by a decrease in the levels of depreciation presented by the Company, associated to lower investments.

 

Additionally a decrease in costs is appreciated due to the efforts displayed in the efficient use of resources applied by the Company in the last years

3.2 Non-Operating Income

Non-operating income obtained in the year ended as of December 31, 2004 shows a surplus of Ch$318,446 million, figure that positively compares to the non-operating deficit in 2003 in the amount of Ch$13,511 million. The variation in non-operating income is broken down in the following manner: Financial income

Financial income decreased of 22.5%, mainly due to lower financial debt maintained by subsidiaries with the Company, situation that was offset mainly by greater volumes of available funds from the sale of the mobile subsidiary and from operations, which were transitorily destined to financial investments.

Income from investments in related companies reached an income of Ch$23,375 million which represents a 30.2% decrease in comparison with income registered in 2003. This effect is explained by the behavior of the businesses in which the Company participates, i.e.: The Long Distance Business, equivalent to the investment in Telefónica Mundo and Globus 120 S.A., shows accrued net income of Ch$10,251 million, a 46.1% decrease in relation to the previous year. This variation is composed of a 23.6% drop in operating income, compensated in part by lower taxes generated in 2004.

The Corporate Communications Business, which is equivalent to the investment in the subsidiary Telefónica Empresa S.A., in 2004 showed net income of Ch$15,065 million, which positively compares to the results obtained in 2003, where it recorded net income of Ch$2,916 million.

Participation in the Mobile Telephone Business was sold in July 2004, therefore income recognized during this year only considers that generated until June 30, 2004.

Other Businesses, these investments include businesses destined mainly to public telephone, maintenance and installation of basic telephone equipment, security and monitoring systems, Isapre Istel (sold in September 2003), shared services and others. This group of investments generated net income of Ch$6,114 million, whereas during the pervious year they recorded net income of Ch$6,916 million. This negative variation is mainly explained by the 17.0% decrease in net income for the year from CTC Equipos y Servicios. This was partly compensated by the Ch$385 million increase and which totaled Ch$597 million in 2004, from investment maintained in Atento Chile S.A.

Other non-operating income reached Ch$478,730 million, mainly due to gain generated by the sale of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. and to the sale of participation in Publiguías recorded in 2004, whereas in 2003 the level of this income was lower, and mainly included the higher value of Terra Networks shares in the market and the sale of the 35% participation in Sonda.

Report on the Financial Statements

 

Interest expenses show a 13.9% decrease in 2004, mainly associated to lower interest bearing debt, renegotiation of current loan interest rates, low interest rates in the market and lower exchange rate.

Amortization of goodwill increased by Ch$128,724 million in relation to 2003, mainly due to amortization of goodwill of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A., which was sold during 2004.

Other non-operating expenses increased by Ch$13,771 million, derived mainly from restructuring costs and from an expired assets provision recorded in 2004 results.

Price-level restatement in 2004 recorded an income of Ch$11,181 million, originated mainly by the effect of cash flows in foreign currency mainly from the sale of the mobile subsidiary and in turn, to recording the payment of the August 2004 dividend denominated in foreign currency, whereas the previous year net income amounted to Ch$1,082 million. It should be noted that a 100% hedge has been maintained for exchange rate and 70% for interest rates. The Company’s exchange rate (peso-dollar) hedge policy was able to neutralize the effects of the exchange rate variations in 2003 and 2004 results.

 

3.3 Net Income For The Year

The net result totaled a net income of Ch$311,629 million, in comparison with net income of Ch$ 10,387 million in 2003. The result obtained in 2004 derives mainly from non-operating net income of Ch$ 275,173 million obtained in 2004, partly offset by a 16.2% decrease in operating income and an increase in income tax due mainly to gain from the sale of the mobile subsidiary.

Report on the Financial Statements

 

From the previous table, we emphasize the following:

The common liquidity index shows an increase due to a 2.7% lower decrease in current assets, mainly due to charges to related companies. There was a 16.5% decrease in current liabilities in comparison to the previous year.

The increase in the debt ratio is explained by the major 25.5% drop in shareholders’ equity, due to dividends paid in 2004. The 21.5% drop in the level of liabilities is mainly due to payment of financial debt.

6.       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 assets of the sector, there is no economic or market value that can be compared to the respective accounting values. However, there are certain buildings with a book value of zero or close to zero, which have a market value, which compared to the book value is not significant in respect to the Company’s assets taken as a whole.

In relation to other assets, such as marketable securities (shares and promissory notes) with a referential market value, the corresponding provisions have been set up, when the market value is less than the book value.

7.       Regulatory Issues

Basic Telephone Service Tariff Decree

Decree No. 187 is in effect as of May 5, 1999. It establishes maximum tariffs for Telefónica CTC Chile for local telephone services and interconnection services for a period of 5 years, which expires on May 5, 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 requested the Antitrust Commission to liberate tariffs in specific geographic areas and to 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 has the right to offer alternative tariff plans without prior authorization.

Together with the tariff setting process of Telefónica CTC Chile, Subtel began the tariff setting process for public services provided by Entelphone in Easter Island and the tariffs for interconnection services (access charges) provided by Entelphone, CMET, Telesat and Manquehue Net.

On April 30, Telefónica CTC presented to Subtel its Technical Economic Bases for the Tariff Setting Study for the services provided by Telefónica CTC Chile to other public telephone concessionaries, to intermediate services concessionaries, which provide long distance telephone services, and to suppliers of complementary services.

 

 

On May 20, 2003, the Antitrust Commission dictated Resolution No. 686 which defines the services subject to tariff setting by the Ministries of Economy and Transportation and Telecommunications, which are similar to those established for the 1999 – 2004 period. The mentioned Resolution No. 686 rejects the petition for deregulated tariffs for the specific primary zones requested by Telefónica CTC Chile, and in relation to the request for tariff flexibility, informed favorably by the Regulator, the Antitrust Commission did not make a specific pronouncement in spite of the fact that most of its members were in favor of making a pronouncement, whereas the rest of the members considered that such matters did not correspond to that Commission. By request from Telefónica CTC Chile, the Antitrust Commission clarified Resolution No. 686, dictating to this effect Resolution No. 709, which disposed that notwithstanding the tariff setting by the administrative authority, the dominant operators could offer lower tariffs 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 Basis. Telefónica CTC Chile formulated 84 controversies to the Preliminary Technical Economic Basis of Subtel and requested the formation of an Experts Commission as defined by 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 approved by majority.

On July 25,2003,Subtel issued Exempt Resolution No. 827 of 2003 which sets the Final Technical Economic Basis that guides the Tariff Study to set the levels, structure and indexation mechanisms of the services provided by Telefónica CTC Chile that are subject to tariff 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 Basis 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 regulation.

On March 5, 2004, the Ministries presented their Report on Objections and Counterproposals to the Tariff Study filed by Telefónica CTC Chile on November 6, 2003. The Company requested the formation of an Experts Commission, which was officially established on March 12. This Commission issued its report on April 2, ruling on the queries posed by Telefónica CTC Chile.

On April 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed its Report on Amendments and Reiteration for the Tariff Study with the Ministries. This report included the recommendations of the Experts

Commission and reiterated support for those matters not subject to the Commission’s opinion.

On May 4, 2004, the Ministries issued Tariff Decree No. 169, which they sent together with the supporting report to the Chilean General Comptroller for legislative review.

On June 2, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile filed two presentations with the Chilean General Comptroller as part of the decree’s legislative review process. In the first, it reported mathematical errors in the decree and requested that the authorities correct them. The second presentation outlined legal objections regarding the conceptual aspects of the decree affecting the definition and the scope of the services included therein. Both presentations expressly reserved the Company’s right to take action before the competent courts.

Entel, Chilesat and Telmex filed a complaint with the Chilean General Comptroller against Tariff Decree No. 169, objecting to the assignment of costs of access charges and the criteria for cost assignation of the different tariffs.

On September 16, 2004, the Ministries issued their report to the Chilean General Comptroller in response to the appeals formulated by Telefónica CTC Chile, Chilesat, Entel and Telmex. In this respect, the Ministries informed that as a result of the review of the tariff model many of the mathematical errors claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile were corrected and they also made further corrections to the Tariff Decree. In turn the Ministries defended the scaling of access charges in T.D. 169, stating that such criteria has been made in conformity with the resolutions of antitrust organizations and those prescribed by the Technical Economic Basis established for this tariff process.

With regard to the conceptual aspects claimed by Telefónica CTC Chile affecting the definition and scope of the services included in the decree, the Ministries rejected them along with the appeals of Entel, Chilesat and Telmex.

On October 4, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile appealed again to the Chilean General Comptroller in order to request the correction of mathematical errors incurred by the Ministries precisely at the moment of correcting the errors denounced by Telefónica CTC Chile. Likewise, there was insistence on certain conceptual aspects.

Subtel once again submitted Decree No. 169 to the Chilean General Comptroller on December 30, 2004, modifying certain tariffs of network unbundling services, in the item “Adjustment of Civil Works”. Likewise, Subtel once again modified among other tariffs those of item “Adjustment of Civil Works”, resubmitted Decree 169 to Comptroller on January 15, 2005.

In addition, in January 2005, Entel and Telmex filed new presentations to the Comptroller, where Entel objects to the tariffs set by the Ministries for providing “Adjustment of Civil Works” and on its part Telmex accompanied information that sustains that access charge tariffs must be based on direct cost.

 

Telefónica CTC Chile will apply the new tariffs retroactively to customers as of May 6, 2004.

On February 11, 2005, Tariff Decree No. 169 was published in the Official Gazette (See Regulatory Framework).

Tariff Flexibility

By means of Resolution No. 709 of October 13, 2003, the Antitrust 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 insufficient to ensure a free pricing system, 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 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.

Tariff flexibility allows Telefónica CTC Chile to offer its customers diverse commercial plans other than the regulated plan, stipulated by the authority, in accordance with the conditions defined for that purpose by the respective authority.

Telefónica CTC Chile started offering alternatives to the regulated plan in order to adapt to customer’s needs.

Modifications to the Regulatory Framework

Telephone attention of complaints and gratuity of communications destined to emergency services

Decree No. 590 of the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications mandated free access for communications destined to emergency services numbered 131, 132 and 133 and communications destined to emergency services are exempt from service disconnection; the obligation of the telephone companies to attend to complaints through the telephone is established and a new 105 number for special services is created for this purpose. In this respect, Telefónica CTC Chile had already incorporated the gratuity of those communications as of May 6, 2004 and, in turn, attention of claims by telephone had been established since the end of 2000 through its special 107 number. In terms of enabling emergency communications from lines subject to service disconnection, Telefónica CTC Chile provided this service on lines connected to exchanges that had the capacity and functionality to maintain access to emergency services even when service is cut off due to subscriber delinquency.

Report on the Financial Statements

 

New format of Single Telephone Bill

Decree No. 510 of the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications establishes the minimum contents and other elements of the Single Telephone Bill and sets a period of 120 days which expires on April 6, 2005 to apply the dispositions established in the mentioned decree.

Technical Standard that classifies complementary services into categories.

Through Exempt Resolution No. 1319, of October 6, 2004, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications (Subtel) established supplementary services categories and assigned numbers to the respective categories of complementary services to which users can access through the public telephone network.

Public consultation regarding regulatory projects

In July and August, Subtel initiated a process of public inquiries with the operators in the telecommunications sector for regulatory proposals for Network Unbundling and IP Telephony, respectively.

The Network Unbundling proposal ( that was subjected to a new public inquiry in December), defines the services, their operating conditions and adds new services that modify the conditions already defined in the tariff decree, defining new obligations which renders additional burdens to companies subject to network unbundling (obligation to invest, new rights to clients, discrimination in the obligations according to the technology used, etc.). Additionally, the obligation of resale is established for mobile companies and the resale conditions are regulated for wholesalers of alternative tariff plans offered by Telefónica CTC Chile. The Company participated in the mentioned public inquiries making their observations and formulating their legal objections, emphasizing that the majority proposals are a matter of law and not a matter of resolution, while other aspects of the regulatory proposal law since they affect the rights that are guaranteed by the Chilean Constitution.

The proposal for IP Telephony defines a special type of telephony over broadband, which is provided over existing infrastructure and with lower regulatory requirements than traditional telephony (for example: the multicarrier system for domestic long distance is not applied). This discriminates traditional local operators, for which different conditions apply for the same service. The Company along with other operators presented its observations and legal objections to the proposal, considering it among others, discriminatory as well as inhibiting investment in new infrastructure and broadband.

As of January 31, 2005, Subtel has not ruled on the comments and legal objections of Telefónica CTC Chile and the other companies, nor has it issued final regulations.

Lawsuit against the State of Chile

On October 31, 2001, Telefónica CTC Chile, seeking to correct errors in Tariff Decree No. 187 of 1999, filed a motion for reconsideration with the Ministries requesting corrections to the 1999 Tariff Decree No. 187. On

 

January 29, 2002, the Ministries issued a joint rejection of this request, explaining that “having carefully evaluated, only the feasibility and timeliness of the petition made, considering the set of circumstances in the problem and the prudence that must orient public actions”, and that the rejection “has had no other motivation than to protect the general interest and progress of the telecommunications services”.

Having exhausted all administrative remedies aimed at correcting the illegal actions taken in the tariff-setting process of May 1999, in March 2002, Telefónica CTC Chile filed lawsuit against the Government for damages in the amount of Ch$ 181,038,411,056 plus readjustments and interest, covering past and future damages incurred up to May 2004.

Proceedings are currently underway and expert reports have been presented on various aspects of the case supporting the position held by Telefónica CTC Chile.

8. Analysis of the Markets, Competition and Relative Participation

Relevant aspects of the industry

During 2004, the Telecommunications industry maintained the dynamism that characterizes it, with important events such as mergers and acquisitions and the constant changes in consumer choices for telecommunications services.

It is estimated that lines in service during 2004 reached 3.3 million reflecting a 2% increase in respect to the same period last year, like-wise, voice services show annual variations of approximately -5% in local, -9.4% in DLD and -0.1% in ILD.

It is estimated that in 2004 the mobile telephony market reached a total of 9.5 million subscribers, which represents accumulated growth in the order of 28% as of December 2004.

During 2004, the Internet market shows a migration from narrow-band with a total of 6,415 million minutes and a 42% increase in the Broadband market which, as of December 2004, reaches 506 thousand accesses, 53% using ADSL.

Relevant aspects in the competitive arena

Telefónica Móviles S.A. (TEM) acquires the assets of Bellsouth in Latin America and the mobile subsidiary of Telefónica CTC Chile

On March 8, 2004, Telefónica Móviles S.A. announced a purchase agreement for the assets of Bellsouth Corporation in Latin America. This agreement includes Bellsouth’s mobile operations in Chile which operates on a 25 Mhz spectrum in the 800 Mhz band with TDMA and 10 Mhz in the 1900 Mhz band with CDMA.

On May 18, 2004, the Board of Directors of Telefónica CTC Chile unanimously approved the offer made by Telefónica Móviles S.A., to purchase 100% of the mobile subsidiary of Telefónica CTC Chile, subject to the approval of the Shareholders’ Meeting.

On July 15, 2004, the Shareholders’ Meeting was held to decide on the sale of the mobile subsidiary of Telefónica CTC Chile, in which the

shareholders made a counteroffer that meant that Telefónica Móviles S.A had to assume payment of the taxes derived from the operation.

On July 23, 2004, the sales contract was signed for all the shares of the subsidiary; with which, Telefónica CTC Chile no longer participates in the mobile business.

Operators double Broadband speed at the same price

On September 24, 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile announced it would double the connection speed for all its broadband customer, maintaining the same prices. This commercial offer was subsequent ally followed by the other operators.

Analysis of relative market share

Local Telephone Service

This market contemplates providing local telephone services inside the primary areas, interconnection with other telecommunications companies and other unregulated local telephone services. Concessions granted by the Undersecretary of Telecommunications of the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications (Subtel) are the entry barriers to this industry.

The fixed telephony segment is comprised of eight urban and three rural companies operating under license. Market penetration in terms of lines in service stood at 20.8 per 100 inhabitants at December 2004, a slight increase compared to 20.5% in 2003.

Internet Access

In this market there are currently approximately 35 ISPs operating effectively, with three of these concentrating 82% of switchboard traffic. IP traffic (switchboard) accumulated from January to December 2004 in the network of Telefónica CTC Chile reached the order of 6,415 million minutes with a 23% drop with respect to the same period in 2003, mainly due to migration of users to broadband.

Telefónica CTC Chile continues with an intensive deployment of Internet access through ADSL broadband, directly to the customer and through a wholesale model in the ISP industry. As of December 2004, Telefónica CTC Chile broadband connections in service reached 200,794 with a growth of 60% in respect to December 2003, achieving an estimated broadband market share of 40% (considering speeds equal to or exceeding 128 kbps).

Other Businesses

Comprises the Public Telephone market, in which Telefónica CTC Chile participates through its subsidiary CTC Equipos. There are seven nationwide companies of which CTC Equipos, as of December 2004 has approximately 25% market share considering 10,288 public telephones. Additionally, Telefónica CTC Chile has another 17,991 community telephones installed.

On November 20, 2001 a new subsidiary was formed to commercialize and install security and monitoring systems for residential and corporate customers, providing surveillance services and any other

 

service relating to the above. As of September 2004 it is estimated that Telefónica CTC Chile has a market share of 30% in this service.

9. Analysis Of Market Risk

Financial Risk Coverage

With the attractive interest rates in certain periods, the Company has obtained financing abroad, denominated mainly in dollars and euros and in certain cases, at a variable interest rate. For this reason the Company is exposed to 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 reducing 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 instruments.

As of December 31, 2004, total interest bearing debt was US$ 1,086.8 million, including US$ 731.0 million in financial liabilities in dollars, US$ 259.9 million in debt denominated in “unidades de fomento” and US$ 95.8 million of debt in Chilean pesos. In this manner US$ 731.0 million corresponded to debt exposed to foreign currencies and therefore directly or indirectly exposed to the variations of the dollar. Simultaneously, the Company had dollar/UF, dollar/peso exchange insurance and assets in dollars that resulted, (at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004), in exposure to foreign exchange, close to 0%

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 increases in interest rate.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had debts at variable interest rates, Libor, Euro Libor and TAB mainly for syndicated loans.

To protect the Company from increases in the variable (floating) interest rates, derivative financial instruments have been used, particularly Forward Rate Agreements (which protect the Libor rate), to limit the future fluctuations of interest rates. As of December 31, 2004 this has allowed the Company to end with an exposure of 70% of total interest bearing debt.
