| 1/ | The gross operating revenues for the 1Q06 amounted to R$5,110.9 million and was R$4,781.1 million in the 1Q05. The tax deductions, which include ICMS, PIS, COFINS, ISS, IPI and other discounts, totaled R$1,493.1 million in the 1Q06 and R$1,396.2 million in the 1Q05. |
| 2/ | EBITDA = Earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization |
| 3/ | For this calculation, the number of LIS considers both the fixed lines in service as well as the ADSL lines. |
ADSL is offered under the brand name “Speedy” and reached 1,300,056 clients in March 2006, increasing 7.7% compared to the 4Q05. When compared with March 2005, the growth was 47.7%, in line with the growth trend of the last quarters. This is a priority product for the Company due to its capacity to keep customers loyal. Telesp is investing in new products over the ADSL platform aiming to increase its offer of services and become ever more competitive.
Alternative Plans for Fixed Telephony –The alternative plans for fixed telephony increase the profitability of the installed capacity of Telesp and serve the market segments that were previously not given more economical choices for access to fixed telephones. This reflects the commitment of Telesp with the universalization of the telecommunication services in the state of São Paulo, above the regulatory demands, and the socialization of the access to communications and information. In the 1Q06, alternative plans focused in determined segments were launched, besides the plans of minutes. Such plans are listed as follows:
| • | Leisure Line: launched on January 13, 2006, this service focuses on summerhouses or of temporary use, where there is no installed telephone line. The control of the expenses works through a password to block and unblock the calls. The monthly fee |

is R$34.90 (without free traffic), and due to a promotion, customers that have a classic line in another municipality will only pay R$19.90. The installation fee of the Leisure Line is R$88.00 split into 10 installments. The calls are billed on a per-minute basis, including local calls.
| • | Plans of Minutes: launched on January 26, 2006, these plans grant up to 40% discount in local calls, with progressive discounts tied to the contracted volume of minutes. There are also versions for fixed-to-mobile calls and intra-state domestic long distance call. In the 1Q06, more than 195 thousand plans of minutes were sold. |
| • | Control Line: launched on February 02, 2006, this service allows the complete control of expenses with a telephone line. With a monthly fee of R$64.00 (including taxes), this plan comprises a promotional package of 400 minutes of fixed–to-fixed conversation. For exceeding calls and for cellular and long distance calls, the client uses the Economy Card (pre-paid card). The installation fee of the Control Line has a promotional value of R$88.00 split into 10 installments. |
| • | Young Line: launched on February 10, 2006, this service is ideal for a second telephony line in the household and guarantees the control of expenses with a fixed monthly invoice. The promotional value for the monthly fee is R$46.90 (including the basic monthly fee) for clients that already have a telephone line registered on their name and in the same address. This line grants 450 minutes of fixed–to-fixed calls. For cellular and long distance calls, the client uses the Economy Card (pre-paid card). The installation fee of the Young Line has a promotional value of R$88.00 split into 10 installments. |
The net operating revenues for the 1Q06 totaled R$3,617.8 million and when compared to the R$3,385.0 million of revenues registered in the 1Q05, an increase of R$232.9 million, or 6.9%, is recorded. This is mainly due to the tariff increase in 2005, having impact in the local service and long distance, besides the growth in the Speedy and the Intelligent Line services, which were partially offset by the reduction of the revenues from interconnection and infrastructure rental. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, there is a reduction of R$137.4 million, or 3,7%, mainly explained by the historical seasonality of the period and the drop in interconnection revenues.
The EBITDA margin in the 1Q06 was 44.9%, remaining pretty much stable when compared to the 4Q05. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 1Q05, a decrease of 0.4 p.p. is shown, explained by the reduction in interconnection revenues and the increase in taxes and personnel expenses. This effect was partially offset by the tariff increase in 2005, as well as the growth in the Speedy service.

Gross Operating Revenues in the 1Q06 reached R$5,110.9 million, which represents an increase of R$329.8 million, or 6.9%, compared to the same period of the previous year. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, the revenues fell R$178.7 million, or 3.4%.

The changes are explained as follows:
Monthly Subscription Fee: reached R$1,411.7 million in the 1Q06, representing an improvement of R$31.3 million, or 2.3% compared to the 1Q05, mainly due to the tariff increase in 2005, besides the successful marketing of the alternative fixed telephony plans. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, a R$46.5 million or 3.2% drop was noted because the change in the billing allocation for the alternative plans.
Installation Fee: recorded revenues of R$26.3 million in the 1Q06, showing an increase of R$9.0 million, or 52.3%, when compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly as a consequence of the tariff increase in 2005 and the installation fee of the new alternative plans. When comparing the 1Q06 and the 4Q05, a reduction of R$1.1 million, or 3.9% is shown due to the lower number of activations within the period.
Local Service: totaled R$811.4 million in the 1Q06, presenting an increase of R$84.0 million, or 11.5%, compared to the 1Q05, as a result of the tariff increase in 2005 of 7.27% and the success in the expansion of the alternative plans that have different values for the monthly

fee and the local usage. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, a R$63.2 million or 7.2% decrease is noted as a result of a reduction in traffic due to the lower number of working days in the 1Q06, besides the historical seasonality of this service within the period.
DLD: totaled R$788.5 million in the 1Q06, presenting an increase of R$19.2 million, or 2.5%, compared to the 1Q05. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, there was a decrease of R$40.2 million, or 4.9%. The variations are explained by the following reasons:
Long distance (intra-state): recorded revenues of R$537.2 million in the 1Q06, growing R$3.7 million, or 0.7%, when compared to the 1Q05 as a result of the tariff increase in 2005. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, an increase of R$5.9 million, or 1.1%, is noted due to a one-time recovery, in the 1Q06, of SMP traffic from mobile operators related to previous periods.
Long distance (inter-state): reached R$251.2 million in the 1Q06, showing an improvement of R$15.5 million, or 6.6% when compared to the 1Q05, mainly as a result of the tariff increase in 2005. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, a reduction of R$46.2 million, or 15.5%, is shown, chiefly due to the seasonality and the lower number of working days of the period.
Inter-network revenues: added up to R$1,086.4 million in the 1Q06, presenting an improvement of R$98.7 million, or 10.0%, compared to the same period of the previous year, largely due to the tariff increase in 2005 and the increase of the mobile plant. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, a reduction of R$22.0 million, or 2.0%, was registered due to the historical seasonality of this service within the period. It is worth noting that there was a delay in the readjustment of the fixed-to-mobile tariffs (VC1) scheduled for February 2005 and that only took place in June 2005, as well as the delay of the readjustment for the VC2 and VC3 that only took place on March 31, 2006.
ILD: reached R$41.8 million in the 1Q06, registering an increase of R$9.0 million, or 27.3%, when compared to the 1Q05, due to higher tariffs in the period, which were partially offset by the fall in traffic (due to the lower number of working days in the 1Q06 compared to the 1Q05). A decrease of R$3.6 million, or 7.9%, is shown when comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, mainly explained by the reduction of traffic, in line with the historical seasonality of this period.
Interconnection Revenues: totaled R$136.7 million in the 1Q06, a drop of R$44.2 million, or 24.4%, when compared with the 1Q05. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, a reduction of R$55.2 million, or 28.8%, is registered. Both effects were the result of the new interconnection rules in place since January 01, 2006, which modified the maximum values for the interconnection tariffs (TU-RL and TU-RIU). From 2006 on, the TU-RL is limited to 50% of the value of the local minute, which represents a 22.3% fall compared to the tariff in place in December 2005. In the case of the TU-RIU, the maximum value represents 30% of the values of the level 4, considering the time period.
Public Telephony: registered R$121.8 million in the 1Q06 and when compared to the 1Q05, it increased R$16.3 million, or 15.4%, due to the improvement in the sales of public telephone cards, besides the tariff increase in 2005. A decrease of R$3.9 million, or 3.1%, was recorded when comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, explained by the increase of the transfer related to traffic to other operators, partially offset by the improvement in the sales of public telephone cards.
Data Transmission: revenues for the 1Q06 added up to R$381.2 million, representing a R$96.1 million or 33.7% increase regarding the 1Q05. An improvement of R$16.8 million, or 4.6%, was registered when comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05. Both effects were the result of the growth in “Speedy” services.
Infrastructure rental: amounted to R$99.1 million in the 1Q06, showing a decrease of R$5.8 million, or 5.5%, when compared to the 1Q05. This effect was chiefly the result of the reduction in the revenues of rental for the wholesale exploitation of dedicated lines of 2MB (2MB EILD) and local access to the packaged network. When comparing the 1Q06 and the 4Q05, a decrease of R$22.3 million, or 18.4%, is recorded due to the reversion of the provision for revenue loss, in light of a one-time recovery of the revenues in the 4Q05. Excluding this effect, there were no significant variations.
Others: amounted to R$206.0 million in the 1Q06, showing a R$16.3 million or a 8.6% increase when compared with the 1Q05, mainly as a consequence of the increase in the revenues coming from the Intelligent Line services (value added services for fixed telephony) and the revenues related to the administration of telephony services in commercial buildings by the subsidiary A. Telecom S.A. When comparing

the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, an increase of R$62.5 million, or 43.5%, was recorded due to non-recurrent one-time adjustments in the 4Q05 related to previous months. Excluding these adjustments, the revenues remain stable.

Operating Expenses in the 1Q06 reached R$1,994.6 million, an advance of R$140.3 million, or 7.6% compared to the 1Q05. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, there was a decrease of R$79.2 million, or 3.8%.
The Operating Expenses variations are explained as follows:
Personnel expenses added up to R$203.3 million in the 1Q06, which represents an increase of R$61.7 million, or 43.5%, when compared to the 1Q05, mainly due to the salary increase in September 2005, the Early Retirement Program (PDI) started in February 2006 and the increase in the headcount as a result of the internalization of the systems administrative services that were previously outsourced. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, an increase of R$46.7 million, or 29.8%, was shown chiefly due to the Early Retirement Program, partially offset by the recovery of the expenses related with pension funds for the retired employees in 2006. Excluding the one-time expenses with the PDI, the evolution of the personnel expenses basically reflects the salary increases. Telesp expects an increased efficiency for this entry starting in the 2Q06.

General and administrative expenses in the 1Q06 totaled R$1,642.7 million, registering an increase of R$55.4 million, or 3.5%, compared to the 1Q05. A drop of R$73.1 million, or 4.3% was registered, when comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05.
The General and Administrative Expenses changes are explained as follows:
Supplies added up to R$32.0 million in the 1Q06, presenting a R$0.2 million, or 0.7%, raise when compared to the 1Q05, mainly due to the increase in supplies related to public telephone cards. This raise was partially offset by the reduction of costs of merchandise sold and the reduction in the expenses of supplies for productive plant maintenance. When comparing the 1Q06 and the 4Q05, a decrease of R$3.2 million, or 9.1%, is noted due to a reduction in the expenses of supplies for productive plant maintenance, the expenses with advertising gifts and maintenance supplies.
Outsourcing expenses totaled R$647.7 million in the 1Q06, an increase of R$1.8 million, or 0.3%, when compared to the 1Q05, chiefly as a result of the increase in expenses related to customer service, products and services advertising and public telephone terminals maintenance. These increases were partially offset by the reduction in the expenses related with the rendering of narrowband Internet, maintenance expenses with Internet systems and legal services. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, a decrease of R$47.5 million, or 6.8%, was registered due to the renegotiation of Internet narrow band contracts, institutional and services advertising (due to the seasonality of this period), the expenses with events and campaigns for sales incentives, and consulting expenses.
Interconnection expenses amounted to R$901.6 million, going up R$54.0 million, or 6.4%, when comparing the 1Q06 with the 1Q05, mainly as a result of the increased fixed-to-mobile network interconnection and the increased incoming fixed long distance traffic from other operator ending in the mobile network in the region III, whose tariffs were increased 4.5% in June 2005 (VUM). This effect was offset to some extent by the negative readjustment of 13.3% in the TU-RL tariff in June 2005. When comparing the 1Q06 and the 4Q05, there was a decrease of R$19.1 million, or 2.1%, in line with the evolution of the interconnection revenues and the tariff increase for the TU-RL.
Other Expenses reached R$61.5 million in the 1Q06, falling R$0.5 million, or 0.9%, compared to the 1Q05, mainly due to the reduction in expenses with administrative building rental, partially offset by the increase in the price for poles rental. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, this entry went down R$3.3 million, or 5.0%, mainly due to the reduction in infrastructure rental expenses, partially counterbalanced by the increase in the price for poles rental.
Taxes added up to R$99.7 million in the 1Q06, showing an increase of R$37.1 million, or 59.2%, when compared to the 1Q05, chiefly due to the renewal of the concession contract approved in December 2005 and valid until December 2025. The contract establishes that the concessionary must pay, every two years during the new concession period, a fee corresponding to 2% of the STFC of the previous year, net of applicable taxes and social contributions. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, an increase of R$31.5 million, or 46.3%, was recorded mainly due to the expenses related with the renewal of the concession contract.
Provisions went up R$12.5 million when comparing the 1Q06 and the 1Q05, reaching R$104.8 million. The figure for the period represents 2.9% of the total net operating revenues (2.7% in the 1Q05). In the 4Q05, this provision represented 3.1% of the net operating revenues. This positive result for the Company is a consequence of the efforts in collection, debt recovery and products more suited to the different market segments, such as the new alternative plans.
Investment gains (losses) presented a negative result of R$2.7 million in the 1Q06, compared to a negative result of R$3.3 million in the 1Q05, which represents a variation of R$0.6 million, because of exchange rate effect in the consolidation of the Aliança Atlântica subsidiary by the equity method. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, a negative variation of R$4.7 million was registered due to the same aforementioned reason.
Other operating revenues (expenses) registered a positive net variation of R$25.8 million, or 78.1%, in the 1Q06 compared to the 1Q05. This behavior is mainly the result of a recovery of expenses of previous fiscal years (mainly PIS and Cofins over consumables), recovery of expenses related to network damages, recovery of telephone invoices that had been classified as losses and gains with inventories sales. This was partially offset by the increase in expenses with donations and the increase in civil contingencies. When

Table of Contents
comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, there was a positive variation of R$76.3 million, primarily due to the fact that the 4Q05 was impacted by the write-off of accounts receivables related to the SMP service and the reversion of recoverable assets from the FUST, which was partially counterbalanced by the increase in provisions with contingencies.
Results January – March 2006 - TELESP 11
Table of Contents
Depreciation went down R$20.8 million, when comparing the 1Q06 with the 1Q05, mainly due to the realignment of the Capex levels after the achievement of the universalization targets and the ending of the amortization of the surplus of the acquisition of CETERP, which had a monthly amortization of R$2.7 million and whose last installment was registered in November 2005. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, a reduction of R$8.4 million due to the same aforementioned reasons is recorded.
Net Financial Revenues / (Expenses): the financial result improved R$16.8 million when comparing the 1Q06 with the 1Q05, mainly as a result of a higher average volume of financial instruments (CDB). If we compare the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, the financial result improved R$415.7 million, largely due to the distribution of Interest on the Company’s Net Worth of R$380 million in the 4Q05, the reduction of expenses related with the CPMF, the net gain from the exchange rate variation of hedge operations and the reduction of interests on commercial operations. The gross indebtedness and the result of liabilities of loans, financing and commitments for foreign exchange purchases of the Company are significantly affected by the risk of the exchange rates. As of March 31, 2006, 33.12% (36.45% as of December 31, 2005) of the financial debt was denominated in foreign currency (US dollar and Yen), while 99.58% (99.37% as of December 31, 2005) of the indebtedness was being covered by active positions in hedge operations (Swap to “CDI”). The gains and losses of those operations are recorded in the financial statements. As of March 31, 2006, the derivative transactions showed a negative consolidated net result of R$85.4 million, while a liability of R$352.8 million was recorded on March 31, 2006 to acknowledge the temporary loss. Since these operations are of a protective nature, the negative net consolidated result of R$85.4 million with derivatives is compensated by the revenues resulting of the exchange rate variation on the debt, in the amount of R$56.7 million.
Non-Operating Revenues (Expenses) presented a positive result of R$5.9 million and they showed a reduction of R$2.8 million, or 31.8%, when comparing the 1Q06 with the 1Q05, chiefly due to the net loss in the sale of buildings and non-recognized and non-claimed credits. When comparing the 1Q06 with the 4Q05, an increase of R$8.9 million is registered, chiefly due to the donation of infrastructure and the sale of buildings in the 4Q05.
Loans and Financing: As of March 31, 2006, the Company had R$753.9 million (R$874.0 million as of December 31, 2005) in loans and financing denominated in foreign currency, from which R$432.7 million (R$478.2 million as of December 31, 2005) were obtained at fixed interest rates, and R$321.2 million (R$395.8 million as of December 31, 2005) were obtained at foreign variable interest rates (Libor). In order to be protected against the exchange rate risk and the foreign variable interest rates (Libor) of the loans denominated in foreign currency, the Company contracted hedge operations to tie the debt to the local currency, with floating interest rates indexed to the CDI, thus the financial results of the Company are affected by the fluctuations of this rate. The position in loans and financing also includes the value of the bonds issued in 2004, paying interests based on the variation of the CDI rate, in the amount of R$1,521.1 million (R$1,521.7 million as of December 31, 2005). Furthermore, the Company invests the balance of cash and cash equivalents (financial instruments) of R$1,128.4 million (R$463.5 million as of December 31, 2005) mainly in short-term instruments, based on the variation of the CDI, which contributes to reduce this risk. The book value of those instruments is close to market value because of their short-term maturity.
On March 31, 2006, the Company had swap operations “CDI x pré” to partially cover the fluctuations of the domestic interest rates. The covered operations mature in January 2007 and totaled R$540.4 million. These operations with derivatives generate a positive consolidated net result of R$0.4 million. This temporary gain was registered in the liabilities to offset the temporary loss in hedge operations.

Since November 30, 1999 and due to a corporate restructuring, Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. - TELESP is the new name of Telesp Participações S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Brazil, formed upon the spin off of Telecomunicações Brasileiras S.A., on May 22, 1998. TELESP is the main provider of fixed line public telecommunications services in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. The Brazilian Government sold its stake in TELESP PARTICIPAÇÕES thus privatizing the Company on July 29, 1998.
In December 1999, Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. - TELESP acquired voting and non-voting shares of Centrais Telefônicas de Ribeirão Preto S.A. - CETERP. The CETERP cellular operating division was sold afterwards.
The tender offer to exchange the shares of the Company by BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) representative of the shares of Telefónica, S.A. was concluded on June 30, 2000.
On August 03, 2000, the wholly owned subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A. was created, whose corporate goal is to render switched package network services. On November 24, 2000, the Company completed the capital increase on its fully owned subsidiary in local currency and through the valuation of the assets related to the switched package network services, including the transfer of the authorization to render that service.
On January 30, 2001, Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. was created, resulting of the partial spin-off of the Company’s net equity. This equity was represented by the investment in the fully owned subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A. and accounts receivable. The purpose of the creation of Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. was the segregation of the operating activities related to the switched package network services, due to the administrative and operating restructuring in the year 2000.
TELESP’s business, services and tariffs have been regulated by ANATEL (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) since June 16, 1997, according to various decrees, decisions, plans and regulatory measures.
TELESP became the first operator to file the corresponding information of the accomplishment of Anatel’s targets. ANATEL has already granted the license to permit Telesp to offer domestic and international long distance services to its customers, and also to extend its business out of its concession area (São Paulo) to the whole country.
The international long distance services started to be deployed on May 7, 2002 while the domestic long distance services were not being rendered in that period due to a legal injunction. For the same reasons, the domestic long distance services started to be deployed on July 29, 2002.
The Board of Directors of ANATEL, on its 240th meeting held on January 29, 2003 granted Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. - Telesp the authorization to exploit the Multimedia Communications Service (SCM) nationwide. The Company may offer voice and data services through points of presence, composed of networks and telecommunication circuits.
On July 06, 2003, the mobile telephony operators started to implement the long distance carrier selection (CSP). It enables the client to determine the long distance carrier for each domestic long distance call (VP2 and VP3) or international call, according to the SMP – Mobile Personal Service rules. Consequently, the Company started to acknowledge the revenues from said services and, at the same time, started to pay to the mobile telephony operators for the use of their networks.
On September 04, 2004, the rules established in Resolution #373 of Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency), dated as of June 03, 2004, were implemented. This Resolution deals with the reconfiguration of the local areas for the Switched Fixed Telephony Service - STFC. As a consequence, all calls, previously billed as domestic long distance DC level (Áreas Conurbadas), are now billed as local calls. In São Paulo, this modification involved 53 municipalities, while 39 of them are in Grande São Paulo.

On December 04, 2004, the phase II of the rules established in Resolution #373 of Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency), dated as of June 03, 2004, was implemented. This modification involved 25 municipalities, distributed into 9 different groups. The calls among the municipalities within each group will be billed as local calls. Previously, such calls were billed as domestic long distance, levels 1 and 2.
On December 24, 2004, the Company acquired Santo Genovese Participações Ltda., controller of Atrium Telecomunicações Ltda. (“Atrium”), company dedicated to the management of the rendering of telecommunication services. The operation will allow the Company to increase its offer to the domestic market with services that have greater value added, through the management of the rendering of telecommunication services.
On December 31, 2005, the concession contract for the STFC expired. On December 22, 2005, this concession contract was extended for a period of 20 years, while it can be modified on December 31, 2010, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2020. This condition allows Anatel to establish new conditions and new targets for universalization and quality, taking into consideration the conditions in place by that time.
Every two years for the 20-years period of the new contracts, the public regime companies will have to pay a renewal tax equivalent to 2% of the revenues of the STFC of the previous year of the payment, net of applicable taxes and social contributions.
