Year	Company	Consolidated


2007	397,037	420,976
2008	204,956	209,487
2009	157,665	161,033

Merged tax credit

As commented in Note 2.b, as a result of the capital reorganization process of July 28, 2006, the goodwill generated as a result of acquisition, in 2001, of investment at Figueira Administração e Participações S.A., owner of operating assets of Banco Itaú S.A.’s telecommunications network, was merged by the Company, as were the investments in Galáxia Administrações e Participações S.A., a company having Multimedia Communication Service (SCM) authorization.

7. Deferred and Recoverable Taxes (Continued)

The book entries maintained for Company’s corporate and tax purposes were made in specific goodwill and provision accounts (merged), and the corresponding amortization, provision reversal and tax credit realization are as follows:

		Company

Balance Sheet		Dec/2006


Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization		377,686
Provision, net of reversals		(249,273)

Net amount – tax credit		128,413


		Company
Statement of Income		Dec/2006


Goodwill amortization in the year		(34,203)
Reversal of provision in the year		22,574
Tax credit in the year		11,629

Effect on P&L in the year		-

For calculation of the tax credits resulting from acquisition, income and social contribution tax rates are 25% and 9%, respectively.

As shown above, goodwill amortization, net of provision reversal and of the corresponding tax credit, had no impact on P&L for the period ended December 31, 2006.

For purposes of presentation, the net amount of R$128,413 (R$100,396 under noncurrent assets and R$28,017 under current assets), basically representing merged tax credit, was classified in the balance sheet as deferred and recoverable taxes, according to CVM Instruction No. 349, dated March 6, 2001. Goodwill amortization and provision reversal are recognized in the accounting records as operating income and expenses, and the related tax credit is recognized as provision for income and social contribution taxes.

	Claims by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) referring to:

	a)	Collection of Workers’ Compensation Insurance (SAT) and charging of joint liability for payment of social security contributions allegedly not made by contractors, in the approximate amount of R$310.844. Based on a partially unfavorable court decision, management decided to record the amount of R$102.402 relating to the portion of the total amount for which the likelihood of loss is probable. A judicial deposit in the amount of R$533 was made.

	b)	Social security contribution on amounts paid for compensation of salary losses resulting from economic plans (“Plano Verão” and “Plano Bresser”), in the approximate amount of R$137,144.

	c)	Notice demanding social security contributions, SAT (Workers’ Compensation Insurance) and amounts for third parties (National Institute for Agrarian Reform and Colonization - INCRA and Brazilian Mini and Small Business Support Agency - SEBRAE) on the payment of various salary amounts for the period from January 1999 to December 2000, in the amount of approximately R$57,984, considered as possible risk.

			d)	Notice demanding social security contributions for joint liability in 1993, in the amount of approximately R$187,055, for which the risk is considered possible. This process is at second administrative level. No reserve was made based on the risk classification of this matter.

			e)	Legal proceedings imposing fines of R$161,982 for payment of dividends when the Company had allegedly a debt to the INSS. No reserve was made for the balance, as the likelihood of loss is deemed possible. This process is at 2^ndadministrative level.

The amounts of R$236,474, which refers to the use of inadequate criteria for calculation of the reconstructed tax base, and of R$ 178,432, corresponding to the wrong definition of civil construction for reconstruction, as will be shown by means of technical reports requested to Engineering Institutes, were assessed as of remote risk of loss by the legal counsel. The amount of R$791,021 is classified as of possible risk due to the existing judicial arguments that support the procedure adopted by the Company and the removal of the joint liability. The process is at the first administrative stage. No reserve was made based on the risk classification of this matter.

			Claims by the Finance Secretary of the State of São Paulo referring to:

			g)	Tax assessments notices on October 31 and December 13, 2001, related to ICMS (state VAT) allegedly due on international long-distance calls, amounting to approximately R$28,301 for November and December 1996, to R$208,907 from January 1997 through March 1998, and to R$187,656 for April 1998 and December 1999, at the second administrative stage, assessed as possible risk.

			Litigation at the Federal and Municipal Levels:

			l)	FINSOCIAL, currently COFINS, was a tax on gross operating revenues, originally established at a rate of 0.5% and gradually and subsequently raised to 2.0%. Such rate increases were judicially challenged with success by several companies, which resulted in tax credits from overpayments. These credits were offset by CTBC (company merged into the Company in November 1999) against current amounts of COFINS due. Claiming that those offsets made by CTBC were improper, the Federal Government made an assessment in the amount of R$18,727, considered as probable loss. The claim is at the higher court.

				A reserve was recorded in this amount, based on the risk classification of this matter.

			m)	Tax collection claim demanding differences regarding income tax, based on DCTFs (Declaration of Federal Tax Credits and Debits) for the first half of 1999, amounting to approximately R$5,494, assessed as possible risk. These claims are at the 1st administrative stage and no reserve was recorded based on the risk classification.

			n)	At the municipal level, the Company has contingencies related to IPTU (municipal real property tax), ISS (municipal service tax), fine and interest in the amount of R$4,905 which have all been accrued due to the existence of favorable and unfavorable decisions regarding this matter.

				The Company made escrow deposits in the amount of R$1,888 for such questionings.

			o)	The Company filed an annulment action with a view to obtaining a court order that fully annuls tax credits resulting from tax assessment notices drawn up by the municipality of São Paulo, alleging differences in payment of the ISS, and charging late payment fine of 20% not paid, in the amount of R$19,024. A reserve was not set up for this contingency, based on the legal advisor’s opinion of a possible unfavorable outcome.

				The claim is at trial court.

		p)	On December 15, 2005, ANATEL issued Pronouncement No. 1 (subsequently renumbered to Pronouncement No. 7), whereby it confirmed the understanding that interconnection expenses are not excluded from FUST, thus changing the previous position which provided for such exclusion. The Pronouncement is applied retroactively to January 2001.

			Thus, through ABRAFIX (Brazilian Association of Fixed Telephony Companies), on January 9, 2006, the Company filed for a writ of mandamus with a view to ensuring the possibility of excluding interconnection expenses from the FUST calculation base. The proceeding is at trial court. The contingency risk was assessed as possible by the Company´s legal advisors. The amount involved is of R$120,479. No reserve was recorded based on the risk classification of this matter.

		q)	Tax assessment notice drawn up by the IRS demanding payment of Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ), which was offset in the 2002 Corporate Income Tax Return (DIPJ) against Withholding Income Tax (IRRF) by Public Agencies for the rendering of services during calendar year 2001.

			The suit is at the 1st administrative stage. The risk was classified as probable, and as such, a reserve was set up in the amount of R$1,330.

			There are other contingencies that have also been accrued, in the amount of R$63,367, for which the risk is assessed by management as probable.

34.	Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

	Telesp, together with other companies of the former Telebrás System, sponsors private pension benefit plans and health care plans for retirees, managed by Fundação Sistel de Seguridade Social (“Sistel”). Until December 1999, the plans managed by Sistel were multiemployer benefit plans. On December 28, 1999, the sponsors of the plans managed by Sistel negotiated the conditions for the creation of plans separated by sponsor (PBS-Telesp) and the continuation of participation in the multiemployer plans only for participants who were already retired on January 31, 2000 (PBS-A), resulting in a proposal for restructuring the statutes and regulations of Sistel, which was approved by the Social Security and Supplementary Benefits Office on January 13, 2000.

	In December 2004, the entity Visão Prev Sociedade de Previdência Complementar was formed to manage the Visão and PBS Telesp plans, which were transferred from Sistel to the new entity. Visão Prev was authorized to start operating through Official Letter No. 123, of October 7, 2004 by the Social Security and Supplementary Benefits Office. The transfer of assets and liabilities of the plans was made on February 18, 2005.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2006 and 2005 (In thousands of reais)

34.	Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)

	The process of transfer of the Telesp Visão and Telesp PBS plans was approved by the Social Security and Supplementary Benefits Office through publication of Official Letters No. 49/DEPAT/SPC and 50/DEPAT/SPC, dated January 12, 2005, respectively.

	The transfer of plans did not result in any charge to the plan participants, because the wording of the regulations and all rights of the participants were maintained. Sistel will continue to manage the PBS-A (assisted) and PAMA plans, and Telesp will continue to sponsor these plans jointly with other Sistel’s sponsors.

	Telesp individually sponsors a defined retirement benefit plan (PBS Telesp Plan), which covers less than 1% (0.81%) of the Company’s employees. In addition to the supplemental pension benefit, health care (PAMA) is provided to retired employees and their dependents, at shared costs. Contributions to the PBS Telesp Plan are determined based on actuarial valuations prepared by independent actuaries, in accordance with the rules in force in Brazil. Costing is determined by the capitalization method and the sponsor’s contribution is 6.93% of payroll of employees covered by the plan, of which 5.43% is allocated to fund the PBS Telesp Plan and 1.5% to the PAMA Plan.

	In view of the favorable results from Telesp’s PBS Plan, exceptionally in 2006 no contributions were made for Past Service.

	For other Telesp employees, there is an individual defined contribution plan - Visão Telesp Benefit Plan, established by Sistel in August 2000. The Visão Telesp Plan is funded by contributions made by the participants (employees) and by the sponsor which are credited to participants’ individual accounts. Telesp is responsible for bearing all plan administrative and maintenance expenses, including participant’s death and disability risks. The employees participating in the defined benefit plan (PBS Telesp Plan) were granted the option of migrating to the Visão Telesp Plan. The new Plan was also offered to the other employees who did not participate in the PBS Telesp Plan, as well as to new hires. The Company’s contributions to the Visão Telesp Plan are equal to those of the employees, varying from 2% to 9% of the contribution salary, based on the percentage chosen by the participant.

34. Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)

Additionally, the Company supplements the retirement benefits of certain employees of the former CTB - Companhia Telefônica Brasileira.

During 2006, the Company made contributions to the BPS Telesp Plan in the amount of R$50 (R$444 in 2005) and to Plano Visão Telesp in the amount of R$25,192 (R$23,585 in 2005).

A. Telecom individually sponsors a defined contribution plan similar to that of Telesp, the Visão A. Telecom Benefit Plan, which covers about 26% of its employees. A. Telecom total contributions to this plan amounted to R$301 (R$312 in 2005).

Telefonica Empresas S.A. individually sponsors a defined contribution plan similar to that of the Company, the Visão Telefônica Empresas Benefit Plan. Total contributions to this plan from August to December 2006 amounted to R$506.

The actuarial valuation of the plans was made in December 2006 and 2005 based on the employees’ data as of September 2006 and November 2005, respectively, and the projected unit credit method was adopted. Actuarial gains or losses for each year were immediately recognized in each of the periods. The plans assets relate to November 30, 2006 and 2005. For multiemployer plans (PAMA and PSB-A), apportionment of the plan assets was made based on the sponsoring entity’s actuarial liabilities in relation to the plans’ total actuarial liabilities.

The status of the plans as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:

Plan 2006 2005

36. Financial Instruments

In compliance with the terms of CVM Instruction No. 235/95, the Company and its subsidiaries made a valuation of their financial assets and liabilities in relation to market values, based on available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, the interpretation of market information, as well as the selection of methodologies, requires considerable judgment and reasonable estimates in order to produce adequate realizable values. As a result, the estimates presented do not necessarily indicate the amounts which might be realized in the current market. The use of different market approaches and/or methodologies for the estimates may have a significant effect on the estimated realizable values.

36. Financial Instruments (Continued)

The Company has a total direct and indirect interest of 0.95% in Portugal Telecom, valued by the cost method. The investment, at market value, is based on the last quotation of December 2006 on the Lisbon Stock Exchange for Portugal Telecom, equivalent to €9,84 (€8,55 in December 2005):

The principal market risk factors that affect the Company’s business are detailed below:

a) Exchange rate risk

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to exchange rate fluctuations, which would increase the balances of loans, financing and purchase commitments denominated in foreign currency and the related financial expenses. To reduce this risk, the Company enters into hedge contracts (swaps) with financial institutions.

36. Financial Instruments (Continued)

a) Exchange rate risk (Continued)

The Company’s indebtedness and the result of loan, financing and purchase commitment liabilities denominated in foreign currency are significantly affected by the foreign exchange rate risk. As of December 31 2006, 35.18% (36.45% on December 31, 2005) of the debt was denominated in foreign currency (U.S. dollar and yen); 99.88% (99.37% on December 31, 2005) of this debt was covered by asset positions on currency hedge transactions (swaps for CDI). Gains or losses on these operations are recorded in income. As of December 31, 2006, these transactions generated a net consolidated loss of R$164,227. As of December 31, 2006, the Company recorded a liability of R$316,318 to reflect the existing temporary loss. As these concern coverage operations, part of the net consolidated negative result of R$ R$164,227 with derivatives is offset against exchange variation gains with debts, in the amount of R$70,749.

The book and market values of the Company’s exposure to the exchange rate risk as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Net exposure (66,833) (60,350) (42,654) (33,159)

In view of the complexity of the process and insignificance of results, the Company decided not to renew the coverage of non-financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency. However, the exposure will continue to be monitored, and the Company may take out new coverages should the exposure become significant or be defined by the Company as material.

36. Financial Instruments (Continued)

a) Exchange rate risk (Continued)

The valuation method used to calculate the market value of loans, financing and hedge instruments (foreign exchange swaps) was the discounted cash flow method, considering expected settlement or realization of liabilities and assets, at market rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.

For purposes of accounting practices adopted in Brazil, hedge operations (swap) are valued on the accrual basis, considering the related contractual provisions.

b) Interest rate risk

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to internal and external interest rate fluctuations, negatively affecting financial charges and, consequently, its indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had R$822,603 (R$873,966 as of December 31, 2005) of loans and financing in foreign currency, of which R$553,394 (R$478,158 as of December 31, 2005) was at fixed interest rates and R$269,209 (R$395,808 as of December 31, 2005) was at variable interest rates (Libor). To prevent against the exchange risk and variable interest rates on these foreign currency debts (Libor), the Company has hedge transactions in order to peg these debts to local currency, at floating rates indexed to the CDI (Interbank Deposit Certificate), in a way that the Company’s financial result is affected by the CDI variation. The balance of loans and financing also includes debentures issued in 2004 with interest based on the variation of the CDI of R$1,514,514 (R$1,521,744 as of December 31, 2005), as described in Note 18. On the other hand, the Company invests its excess cash (temporary cash investments) of R$173,165 (R$424,459 as of December 31, 2005), mainly in short-term instruments, based on the CDI variation, which also reduces this risk. The book values of these instruments approximate market values, since they may be redeemed in the short term.

36. Financial Instruments (Continued)

b) Interest rate risk (Continued)

As of December 31, 2006, the Company carried out swap operations – CDI x fixed – to partially cover the internal interest rate fluctuations. Covered operations mature in January 2007 and 2008 and the amounts contracted total R$739,781 and R$168,535, respectively. Such derivative operations generated a negative consolidated net result of R$2,110, and this temporary loss was recorded in statements of income and in liabilities to reduce the temporary loss of derivatives.

Another risk to which the Company is exposed is the non-matching of the monetary restatement indices for its debts and accounts receivable. Telephone tariff adjustments do not necessarily match increases in local interest rates which affect the Company’s debts.

c) Debt acceleration risk

As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s loan and financing agreements contain restrictive covenants, typically applicable to such agreements, relating to cash generation, indebtedness ratios and other. These restrictive covenants, which could accelerate the collectibility of liabilities, have been fully complied with by the Company.

d) Credit risk

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to the difficulty of receiving amounts billed to its customers. The credit risk on accounts receivable is dispersed. The Company constantly monitors the level of accounts receivable and limits the risk of past-due accounts, interrupting access to telephone lines in case the customer bill has been overdue for more than 30 days. Exceptions are made for telecommunication services that must be maintained for security or national defense reasons.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s customer portfolio had no subscribers whose receivables were individually higher than 1% of the total trade accounts receivable.

The Company is also subject to credit risk related to temporary cash investments and receivables from swap transactions. The Company reduces this exposure by dispersing it among creditworthy financial institutions.

37. Capital Expense Commitments (Unaudited)

The Company submitted the Capital Budget for 2007, in the amount of R$1,845,129 (consolidated), to the appreciation of its Board of Directors, for subsequent approval in the General Shareholders’ Meeting, according to article 196 of Law No. 6404/76. Sources of funds will include the Company´s cash and financing.

34.	Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)

	Additionally, the Company supplements the retirement benefits of certain employees of the former CTB - Companhia Telefônica Brasileira.

	A. Telecom individually sponsors a defined contribution plan similar to that of Telesp, the Visão A. Telecom Benefit Plan, which covers about 26% of its employees. A. Telecom total contributions to this plan amounted to R$301 (R$312 in 2005).

	Telefonica Empresas S.A. individually sponsors a defined contribution plan similar to that of the Company, the Visão Telefônica Empresas Benefit Plan. Total contributions to this plan from August to December 2006 amounted to R$506.
