The intended sentence is generic and the attribution of responsibility to indemnify shall occur through liquidation and execution of the decision by the consumers, the Prosecutors Office having proposed the execution amount of R$1 billion in the event the number of activations is not commensurate with the severity of the damage, to be deposited in the Special Fund for Expenses Related to Reimbursement of Damaged Diffused Interests. The possible risk involved in this civil class action was not quantified in the table above, since, in the event of an unfavorable outcome, it is currently not possible to estimate the Companys loss nor of attributing a limit equivalent to the case amount.
The contingencies with a possible unfavorable outcome to the Company refer substantially to suits relating to different procedural matters, such as: unrecognized ownership of telephone lines, indemnification for property and personal damages, PIS and COFINS on subscription and monthly payment of Fixed Switched Telephone Services (STFC), among others, totaling approximately R$663,724.

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 may have a significant effect on the estimated realizable values.

Risk management policy
The Company is exposed to many market risks as a result of its commercial operation, debts obtained to finance its activities and debt-related financial instruments.
The principal market risk factors that affect the Companys 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. In order to minimize the risk of financial liabilities in foreign currency, the Company enters into hedge contracts (swaps) with financial institutions.
The Companys indebtedness (R$97,855 in June 30, 2009) and the purchase commitment liabilities (R$17,416 in June 30, 2008) denominated in foreign currency are significantly affected by the foreign exchange rate risk. As of June 30, 2009, 2.95% (7.12% in March 31, 2009) of the debt was denominated in foreign currency (U.S. dollar and yen); the debt was covered by asset positions on currency hedge transactions (swaps for CDI).

b) Interest rate risk
This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to internal and external interest rate fluctuations affecting the Companys results (debentures and JBIC) and the short positions of derivatives at floating interest rates to cover the risks of foreign currency-denominated debts.
Debt with BNDES is indexed to the TJLP (Long-term Interest Rate, set on a quarterly basis by the National Monetary Council), which remained stable at 6.25% p.a. from July 2007 to the end of June 2009. For the quarter beginning July 2009, the rate was reduced to 6% p.a., having a positive impact on this debt installment.
In order to minimize its exposure to the local variable interest rate (CDI), the Company invests its excess cash, amounting to R$925,638 (R$1,775,778 at March 31, 2009), substantially in short-term investments (Bank Deposit Certificates) based on the CDI rate variation. The book values of these instruments approximate market values, since they may be redeemed in the short term.
As of June 30, 2009 the Company also contracted CDI + 0.35% of CDI percentage swap with identical flows of those of debentures (note 15).
In order to partially cover internal interest rate fluctuations in relation to debts exposed to CDI, the Company contracted short-term derivatives amounting to R$14,000 (CDI x Fixed swap), which transform a portion of net indebtedness associated to the variable interest rate (CDI) into a fixed debt.
c) Debt acceleration risk
As of June 30, 2009, 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 complied with these restrictive clauses in full, and such covenants do not restrict its ability to continue as a going concern.

Risk management policy (Continued)
d) Credit risk
This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to the difficulty in 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 does not pay the related bills in 30 days. Exceptions are made for telecommunication services that must be maintained for security or national defense reasons.
As of June 30, 2009, 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 first line financial institutions.
e) Derivatives
All the Companys derivative instruments have the objective of providing hedge against the risk of variation in foreign exchange and external and internal interest rates arising from financial debts, according to the companys risk management policy. As such, any changes in risk factors generate an opposite effect on the hedged end. There are no derivative instruments for speculative purposes and liabilities in foreign exchange are hedged.
The Company has internal controls over its derivative instruments, which, according to management, are adequate to control the risks associated with each market strategy. The Companys results derived from its derivative financial instruments indicate that the risks have been adequately managed.
The Company and its subsidiaries calculate the effectiveness of these hedges in the beginning and on a continuous basis (quarterly), and hedges contracted at June 30, 2009 were considered effective in relation to debts of such coverage. As long as these derivative contracts are considered as hedge accounting according to CPC 14, the hedged debt is also adjusted to fair value in accordance with fair value hedge rules.

Fair value of derivative financial instruments
The discounted cash flow method was used to determine the market value of financial liabilities (when applicable) and derivative instruments (currency and interest rate swap) considering expected settlement or realization of assets and liabilities at the market rates prevailing at balance sheet date.
Fair values are calculated by projecting future operating flows, using BM&F Bovespa curves, and discounting to present value through market DI rates for swaps, as informed by BM&F Bovespa.
The market values of currency coupon swaps vs. CDI were obtained through market currency rates in force at the balance sheet date and projected market rates were obtained from currency coupon curves. The coupon for positions indexed to foreign currencies was determined using the 360-calendar-day straight-line convention; the coupon for positions indexed to CDI was determined using the 252-workday exponential convention.
The consolidated derivative financial instruments shown below are registered with CETIP, being all of them classified as swaps and do not require margin deposits.

The operations were entered into considering market rates indexed to the CDI (liability position), while the asset position is based on the same rates applicable to obligations.
a) Swaps of foreign currency x CDI (derivative fair value of the R$97,861) swap operations with several maturities until 2014, with the objective of hedging foreign exchange and interest rate changes in loan operations in foreign currency with these characteristics (debt fair value of R$97,855).
b) Swap CDI + 0.35% x CDI percentage swap (derivative fair value of R$1,517,100) contracted swap operations maturing until 2010 with identical flow as of debentures (Note 14), to cover the risk of fixed spread (0.35%) (fair value of debentures, excluding premium of R$1,517,100).
c) CDI x Fixed swap transactions (R$14,187) swap transactions maturing in January 2010 with the intent of partially covering internal interest rate fluctuations in relation to foreign exchange payables relating to derivatives exposed to the CDI. The Company also has natural hedges in the form of short-term investments based on the CDI variation (R$925,638 at June 30, 2009). The book value of such investments approximates their market values, as they are redeemable in the short term.

For reporting purposes, the Company adopted the hedge accounting method for all of its derivatives. Under this methodology, both the derivative and the hedged item are measured at fair value. Only the derivative associated with the debentures was not considered pursuant to this methodology.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, derivative operations generated a net consolidated loss of R$52,824 (note 27). At June 30, 2009, 100.00% of the Companys foreign currency denominated debt was covered by asset positions on currency hedge transactions (swaps for CDI), which generated a net consolidated loss of R$54,254. The Company also has operations involving swap CDI + spread vs. %CDI, in the principal amount of R$1,500,000, to cover fixed debentures spread, which generated gains of R$1,475 and CDI x Fixed swap transactions, which led to a consolidated net negative result of R$45 for the six-month period.
At June 30, 2009, the balance of R$2,294 is recorded as assets and R$55.359 as liabilities, recognizing the position of derivatives as of that date.
Gains and losses for the year ended June 30, 2009, grouped by contracts, were posted to profit and loss accounts (Note 27), as required by CVM Instruction No. 475/08.

Sensitivity analysis of the companys risk variables
CVM Instruction requires listed companies to disclose, in addition to the provisions of item 59 of CPC Technical Pronouncement No 14 - Financial Instruments: Recognition, Measurement and Disclosure, a table showing the sensitivity analysis of each type of market risk inherent in financial instruments considered relevant by management and to which the company is exposed at the closing date of each reporting period, including all operations involving derivative financial instruments.
In compliance with the foregoing, all the operations involving derivative financial instruments were evaluated considering a probable scenario and two scenarios that may adversely impact the Company.
Under the probable scenario, the projected realization of derivative financial instruments considered the future market curves (currency and interest) of BM&F Bovespa upon maturity of each operation. In this context, the probable scenario does not produce impacts on the fair value of financial instruments reported in the financial statements. The two unfavorable scenarios considered 25% and 50% decreases, respectively, for the risk variables upon maturity of the financial instruments.
Considering that the Company has derivative instruments only to cover its financial debt, the changes in scenarios offset by changes the related hedged items, thus indicating that the effects are practically null. For these operations, the Company reported the fair value of the hedged item (debt) and of the hedge derivative financial instrument on separate rows in the sensitivity analysis table in order to provide information on the Companys net exposure for each of the three mentioned scenarios, as shown below:

JPY | 0.020 | 0.025 | 0.030 |
CDI | 9.11% | 11.39% | 13.67% |
The net exposure in CDI shown in the sensitivity analysis does not reflect the Companys total exposure to the internal interest rate, considering that, as previously mentioned, the Company uses short-term investments based on the CDI rate variation as a partial natural hedge (R$925,638 at June 30, 2009).
In order to derive the net exposure, all derivatives were considered at fair value, as well as their associated debts (hedged items).
While the fair values shown in the table above are based on the status of the portfolio as of June 30, 2009, they do not reflect an estimated realization in view of the market dynamics, always monitored by the Company. The use of different assumptions may significantly impact estimates.

1. Accumulated net operating revenues until June 2009 totaled R$7,894.6 million, which, compared with R$7,754.2 million recorded in the same prior-year period, represents an increase of R$140,4 million, or 1.8%. Such changes are mainly due to rise in the Paid TV services and broadband services, by increasing revenues from assignment of media and national long-distance, besides the rate adjustment of 3.01% with the effect from July 2008. Such effects were partially offset against the fall in revenues from public payphones, local services; the latter is justified for the fall in the line services and the sale of Duos and Trios that offer flat rates with unlimited local calls. Also, we saw an increase in deductions justified by higher discounts granted in the period.
2. Cost of services provided increased by R$363.3 or 8.6%, chiefly resulting from customer service, advertisement and TV content, maintenance of private terminals, telecommunications service commissions besides the rental expenses on last mile traffic equipment from other carriers and infrastructure equipment, also interconnection expenses, growth in mobile traffic, with use of code 15 (code for selection of service provider). Such effects were partially offset against the fall in expenses with materials, the fall in cost of sales to corporate customers and calling card expenses.
3. The negative financial result improved by R$235.2 million or 73%, justified by reduction in interest on shareholders equity, the CDB investment gains and the monetary variations of the escrow deposits up date. Such effects were partially offset against interest expenses with loans taken out with BNDES and contingencies (civil and labor).

10. Number portability
In September, 2008, the number portability process was commercially introduced for companies offering similar services. Accordingly, fixed and mobile service clients may keep their telephone number when changing operators or addresses, provided that the change is requested in the same local area. Thus, Telesp strengthened its customer loyalty and retention efforts, although the volume of number portability requests is not significant at this point. The number portability process was concluded in the country in March 2009.
11. Message from Management
On June 22, 2009, the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) determined that Telesp temporarily suspend the sale of the Speedy Service.
