REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. - TELESP
São Paulo SP
We have reviewed the Quarterly Information (ITR) from Parent Company and Consolidated of Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. TELESP and its subsidiaries for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which comprised the balance sheet, the statement of income, the report on the Companys performance and explanatory notes, prepared under Managements responsibility.
Our review was conducted in accordance with specific standards established by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Public Accountants - IBRACON, in conjunction with the Federal Accounting Council, mainly comprising: (a) inquiries of and discussions with the officials responsible for the Telecomunicações de São Paulo TELESP and subsidiaries accounting, financial and operational areas, as to the main criteria adopted in preparing the quarterly information; and (b) review of information and subsequent events that had or might have had relevant effects on the Telecomunicações de São Paulo TELESP financial position and operations.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the above mentioned Quarterly Information, for it to be in conformity with the standards established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários CVM), specifically applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information, including CVM Ruling No. 469/08.
As mentioned in Note 3, on December 28, 2007, Law No. 11,638 was enacted effective from January 1, 2008. This Law amended, revoked and introduced new aspects to Law No. 6,404/76 (Brazils Corporation Law), and brought changes to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Although this Law has become effective, some changes are subject to specific regulation on the part of competent authorities before they can be fully adopted by the legal entities. Accordingly, during this transition phase, CVM, through the CVM Ruling No. 469/08, allowed legal entities not to fully adopt the provisions of Law No. 11,638 in the preparation of their Quarterly Information (ITR). Thus, the accounting information included in the ITR for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was prepared in accordance with specific CVM instructions and does not reflect all the changes in accounting practices introduced by Law No. 11,638/07. Information referring to prior periods, presented for purposes of comparison, was adjusted to include the changes in accounting practices introduced in 2008.

3.3 | Other changes introduced by Law No. 11,638 | |
The other changes introduced by the Law depend on specific regulation by relevant regulatory agencies for the application thereof. The Company will monitor regulation of these matters during 2008. | ||
We set out below the other changes introduced by the Law, as well as the estimated effects on the Companys consolidated financial position and results at June 30, 2008, as applicable: | ||
a) |
Introduction of market or fair value concept in the valuation of certain financial assets and liabilities instruments, including derivatives. |
|
The Company presents financial liabilities from loans and financing for which it has derivatives with the objective of reducing exchange and interest rate risk (Note 33). Using as a reference international standard (IAS 39) that addresses the accounting recognition of financial instruments, there would be effectiveness between asset and liability positions, as such, the debt and it respective derivatives should be recognized at fair value at quarterly financial information date. This would have a net effect on the financial position and result of operations for the period ended June 30, 2008 of R$9,222 and R$(9,870), respectively. The effect on the financial position at December 31, 2007 would be of R$19,092. |

33. | Financial Instruments (Continued) | |
The principal market risk factors that affect the Companys business are detailed below: | ||
a) | Exchange rate risk | |
As of June 30, 2008, 15.93% (17.92% on March 31, 2008) of the debt was denominated in foreign currency (U.S. dollar and yen); 99.33% (99.30% on March 31, 2008) of this debt was covered by asset positions on currency hedge transactions (swaps for CDI). At June 30, 2008, derivative operations generated consolidated net negative result of R$41,187. By the fact of being foreign currency hedge transactions, part of the consolidated net negative result of R$41,187 was offset by the income of exchange variation debts, in the amount of R$21,238. At June 30, 2008, liability of R$142,671 was recorded to recognize net derivatives position at that date. |
||
The book and market values of the Companys exposure to the exchange rate risk as of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 are as follows:

b) | Interest rate risk |
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 (Inter-bank Deposit Certificate), in a way that the Companys 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$1,513,957 (R$1,512,342 as of March 31, 2008), as described in Note 15. |

33. | Financial Instruments (Continued) | |
b) | Interest rate risk (Continued) | |
The Company invests its excess cash with a view to reducing its exposure to local interest rate fluctuations (CDI) in the total amount of R$451,644 (R$897,103 as of March 31, 2008), mainly in short-term instruments, based on the CDI variation, which also reduces such risk. The book values of these instruments approximate market values, since they may be redeemed in the short term. |
||
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had swap transactions CDI at fixed rate, to partially hedge against fluctuations in internal interest rates. Hedge operations amounts contracted total R$50,000 generated a net consolidated positive result of R$102.8 on the first half of 2008 and this temporary earnings is recorded in income. The Company also contracted swap transactions - CDI + 0.35% of CDI percentage swap with identical flows of those of debentures (Note 15) issued by the Company, which generated net negative result of R$16.2. |
||
c) | Debt acceleration risk | |
As of June 30, 2008, the Companys loan and financing agreements contain restrictive clauses (covenants), typically applicable to such agreements, relating to cash generation, debt ratios and other restrictions. The Company has fully complied with these restrictive clauses, and such covenants do not restrict its ability to conduct its ordinary course of business. |
||
d) | Credit risk | |
As of June 30, 2008, the Companys customer portfolio had no subscribers whose receivables were individually higher than 1% of the total accounts receivable from services. | ||
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 reputable financial institutions. | ||

34. Subsequent Event |
On July 2 and 3, 2008, technical problems that affected the Companys data transmission network generated instabilities and partial or repeated interruptions in services rendered to certain public agencies as well as private companies. Services were fully resumed in the São Paulo State at the end of July 3, 2008.
The Company will provide compensation to all Speedy service subscribers through a discount related to the 36 hours in which the service presented problems, on the terms of applicable regulations. In addition, it will grant a credit equivalent to 84 hours as compensation. As such, Speedy service account will consider a reduction equivalent to 5 days or 120 hours, whose effect on operating revenue for July/08 is estimated at R$24 million. Conversations with customers and government agencies have already started to define applicable compensation, according to ruling contractual and commercial provisions.
The Company made due communications to insurance companies, whose contracts are established according to the Concession Agreement as well as good market practices.
The above effect has not generated any impact on the June 30, 2008 Quarterly Financial Information (ITR).

1. |
Accumulated net operating revenues to June 2008 was R$7,727.2 million, an increase of R$353.2 million or 4.8% over the R$7,374.0 million reported in the same prior year period. This increase was mainly due to the expansion of Speedy services, to the increase in revenues from national long-distance services, to the pay-TV services, in addition to the performance of other revenues, including IT workstation services and digital network services. These effects were partly offset by the decrease in revenues from local services, public telephone services and subscription fees, the latter resulting from the decrease in the average plant in service and from the increase in alternative fixed-telephony plans with lower subscription fees. |
2. |
The cost of services provided increased by R$268.1 or 6.8%, mainly as a result of interconnection expenses, of increased mobile traffic using the 15 code (Carrier Selection Code), of customer services, advertising and TV content, in addition to the rental of last mile traffic from other carriers, of infrastructure (ruracel and EILD) and of poles and pipes. These effects were partly offset by the decrease in expenses on supplies, as a result of the decrease in telephone card expenses after the change in the inductive cards mix, with increased sales of 40-unit inductive cards over 20-unit cards, as well as the decrease in fuel costs, in the corporate restructuring program (PRO) costs, detecta devices and vehicle and property maintenance. |

3. |
The negative financial result improved by R$67.5 million, or 17.6%, mainly justified by the elimination of CPMF expenses after its extinguishment in January 2008, and by the decrease in losses on derivative transactions. These effects were partly offset by the payment of interest amounts to BNDES and the decrease in foreign exchange variation expenses driven by lower exchange rates. |

4. Operating income decreased 1.8% as compared to the same prior year period. This is partly due to the increase in operating expenses, especially those relating to fixed-mobile interconnection services carried out with other carriers, rental of infrastructure, last mile from other carriers, telesales, customer service and retention, maintenance of terminals and boards and co-billing; offset by the increase in revenues, mainly from packet data switching services and from Speedy and TV services.
