QUARTERLY INFORMATION
MARCH 31, 2018
(A free translation of the original in Portuguese)
Independent auditor's report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Telefônica Brasil S.A.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim accounting information of Telefônica Brasil S.A. ("Company"), included in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, comprising the balance sheet at that date and the statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the parent company interim accounting information in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21 - "Interim Financial Reporting", of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), and of the consolidated interim accounting information in accordance with CPC 21 and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the presentation of this information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" and ISRE 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently did not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion on the parent company interim information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying parent company interim accounting information included in the Quarterly Information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.
Conclusion on the consolidated interim information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim accounting information included in the Quarterly Information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.
Other matters
Statement of value added
We have also reviewed the parent company and consolidated statements of value added for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's management and are required to be presented in accordance with standards issued by the CVM applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR) and are considered supplementary information under IFRS, which do not require the presentation of the statement of value added. These statements have been submitted to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they have not been prepared, in all material respects, in a manner consistent with the parent company and consolidated interim accounting information taken as a whole.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
2) BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a) Statement of compliance
The individual (Company) and consolidated quarterly financial statements were prepared and are presented in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which comprise CVM standards and CPC (Accounting Pronouncements Committee) pronouncements, in compliance with the International Financial Accounting Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
All significant information in the quarterly financial statements, and solely such information, is disclosed and corresponds to that used by Company management for administration purposes.
The consolidated quarterly financial statements (Consolidated) have been prepared and are presented in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) Interim Statements and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the IASB and standards established as Resolution No. 739/15 of the CVM.
b) Basis of preparation and presentation
The Company’s quarterly financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 are presented in thousands of Reais (unless otherwise stated), which is the functional currency of the Company.
These quarterly financial statements compares the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, except for the balance sheets, that compare the positions as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
The accounting standards adopted in Brazil require the presentation of the Statement of Value Added ("SVA"), individual and consolidated, while IFRS does not require this presentation.
