1. OPERATIONS
Vivo Participações S.A. (“Vivo” or “Company”) (current denomination of Telesp Celular Participações S.A.) is a publicly-traded company whose controlling shareholders, on September 30, 2006, are Brasilcel N.V. (40.85% of the total capital stock) and its subsidiaries Portelcom Participações Ltda. (4.69% of the total capital stock), Sudestecel Participações Ltda. (6.22% of the total capital stock), Avista Participações Ltda. (3.91% of the total capital stock), TBS Celular Participações Ltda. (4.87% of the total capital stock) and Tagilo Participações Ltda.

On February 22, 2006, the General Meeting approved the merger by Vivo of Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A.

(a) Control acquired through the merger of TSD, TLE and CRTPart.
(b) Became direct or indirect fully-owned subsidiaries as a result of the merger of TCO shares.
The above licenses are renewable, once only, for a 15-year term, on payment of annual charges equivalent to approximately 1% of operating revenues. TRJ and TCO’s licenses were renewed by Act No. 54,324, of November 28, 2005, and Act No. 66,664, of September 8, 2006, respectively.
The business of the subsidiaries, including the services they may provide, is regulated by the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), the telecommunications regulatory agency, in accordance with Law No. 9,472, of July 16, 1997, and respective regulations, decrees, rulings and plans.
Auction of share fractions
Auctions were held on April 19 and 24, 2006 in the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) to reallocate in the “Free Float” 641,766 shares (310,366 common code VIVO3 shares and 331,400 preferred code VIVO4 shares), corresponding to the fractions remaining after the exchange of shares of the companies Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S.A., Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A., Tele Leste Celular Participações S.A. and Celular CRT Participações S.A. for Vivo shares arising from the capital restructuring approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting of February 22, 2006. The amounts raised are available to the shareholders holding these fractions at any branch of the Banco ABN Amro Real S.A., the depository agent for “Vivo” book-entry shares.
Corporate restructuring - subsidiaries
At a meeting held on May 2, 2006, Vivo’s Board of Directors approved the proposal for corporate restructuring of the fully-owned subsidiary Global Telecom S.A., through a merger with the fully-owned Vivo subsidiaries, namely Telergipe Celular S.A., Telebahia Celular S.A., Telerj Celular S.A., Telest Celular S.A., Celular CRT S.A., Telesp Celular S.A. and Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A. and also the subsidiaries of this last, Telegoiás Celular S.A., Telemat Celular S.A., Telems Celular S.A., Teleron Celular S.A., Teleacre Celular S.A. and Norte Brasil Telecom S.A.
The planned implementation of the corporate restructuring aims to simplify the current corporate and operational structure, by unifying the general business administration of the operators, which will be concentrated in a single operating company controlled by “Vivo”, to take better advantage of the synergies between the companies involved and increase “Vivo” shareholder value, continuing the process initiated with the corporate restructuring approved in the Extraordinary General Meeting held on February 22, 2006. Simultaneously with the corporate restructuring, the name of Global Telecom S.A. will be altered to Vivo S.A.
As this is a case of merging of companies offering SMP and SCM services, the corporate restructuring was subject to the prior approval of ANATEL, which was granted on July 25, 2006, by Act No. 59,867, published in the Official Daily Government Newspaper (DOU) on July 27, 2006, and published in the Relevant Fact dated July 27, 2006.
Due to the fact that the corporate restructuring does not directly involve “Vivo”, but only the subsidiary companies, Vivo’s capital and assets, as well as its share structure and the current shareholder rights, will not undergo any change.
2. PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The individual (Company) and consolidated Quarterly Information (ITR) are presented in thousands of Brazilian reais (except where otherwise mentioned) and have been prepared in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices and Brazilian corporate law, including the rules applicable to concessionaires of public telecommunications services and the standards and accounting procedures established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM).
The consolidated Quarterly Information includes, in addition to the balances and transactions of the Company, the balances and transactions of the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1 and of the indirect subsidiaries Telesp Celular International Ltd. and Telesp Celular Overseas Ltd. All intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
This Quarterly Information was prepared in accordance with principles, practices and criteria consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements for the last fiscal year.
The statement of loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 does not include the effects of the mergers mentioned in Note 1, and, consequently, is not comparable with the 2006 statement of loss.
To assist understanding and comparison, we are disclosing, in Note 32, the “combined” consolidated statement of loss, based on the hypothesis that the operations of TSD, TLE and CRTPart had already been taken over by the Company and that TCO had already been converted into a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company since January 1, 2005.
The financial statements as of June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 have been reclassified, where applicable, for purposes of comparison.

Deferred taxes have been recorded if it is probable that they will be realized, as follows:
As of December 31, 2005, the Company prepared technical feasibility studies, approved by the Board of Directors, which indicated full recovery of recognized deferred taxes, as defined by CVM Instruction No. 371/02. As of September 30, 2006 the Company identified no factors that could substantially alter the results of these studies.
The Company and its subsidiaries GT, TCO IP and Telebahia did not recognize deferred income and social contribution on tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences, due to the lack of projections of taxable income to be generated in the short term.

As from January 1, 2005, the goodwill paid on acquisitions by GT based on future profitability, totaling R$1,077,020, is being amortized over a ten-year period as from the acquisition date. TC has investments in Telesp Celular International Ltd. and Telesp Celular Overseas Ltd., companies located abroad, for the purpose of obtaining and passing on funding through international loans.
On May 31, 2004 and August 31, 2005, the tax benefit derived from the goodwill paid on the acquisition of TCO was transferred to that company and its subsidiaries. As a result, R$644,431 was transferred as an advance for future capital increase, since shares will be issued in favor of Vivo when this benefit is realized by TCO and its subsidiaries. The remaining goodwill, amounting to R$1,384,325, was attributed to future profitability and is being amortized over five years.

Current taxes
Of the long-term portion, R$154,949 refers to the “ICMS - Programa Paraná Mais Emprego”, an agreement made with the State of Paraná Government for deferral of ICMS payments. This agreement stipulates the ICMS due date as the 49th month following that in which the ICMS is determined.
Legal obligations - CVM Resolution No. 489/05
We set forth below the taxes covered by Resolution No. 489, of October 3, 2005, issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), which approved IBRACON Announcement NPC No. 22.
For purposes of the financial statements, any escrow deposits made in respect of these taxes have been offset against taxes payable.
a) PIS and COFINS
TC was assessed (Procedure No. 19515,000,700/2003-97) for having offset COFINS, in January and February 2000, against credits derived from the excess of 1/3 of COFINS paid in 1999, after being offset against social contribution tax (CSLL). Conservatively, management maintained the amount of R$24,671 on the accounts as of September 30, 2006, having made an escrow deposit for the same amount.
Law No. 9,718/98
On November 27, 1998, the calculation of PIS and COFINS was amended by Law No. 9,718, which: (i) increased the COFINS rate from 2% to 3%; (ii) authorized deduction of up to 1/3 of the COFINS amount from the amount of social contribution tax (CSLL); and also (iii) indirectly increased the COFINS and PIS due by the subsidiaries, by ordering the inclusion of revenue in excess of billing in the calculation basis.
On November 9, 2005, the Plenary Session of the Federal Supreme Court took position in respect of the unconstitutionality of the changes in the calculation basis of contributions to PIS and COFINS introduced by Law No. 9,718/98, which had been object of innumerous lawsuits brought by taxpayers in general and by the parent company and its subsidiaries.
In evaluating Extraordinary Appeals No. 357,950, No. 390,840, No. 358,273 and No. 346,084, it declared the unconstitutionality of paragraph 1, article 3 of the above-
-mentioned Law, which ruled that these contributions would be due not only on billing, but on “all income received by the corporate entity, irrespective of the type of activity exercised and the accounting classification used for the income”.
Due to the changes introduced by Laws No. 10,637/02 and No. 10,833/03, the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries started to include income in excess of billing in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis.
Conservatively, management maintained the amount of R$192,952 on the accounts as of September 30, 2006, having made escrow deposits amounting to R$2,403.
b) CIDE
Refers to a challenge with a view to avoid the levy of economic intervention contribution (CIDE) on remittances of funds abroad, in respect of technology transfer agreements, license of trademarks and software, etc. Conservatively, management maintained the amount of R$52,295 on the accounts, having made escrow deposits amounting to R$35,707.
c) IRPJ on hedge
CRT filed a suit (No. 99,0003309-4) with a view to dispute the levy of corporate income tax (IRPJ) on hedge transactions. Conservatively, management maintained the amount of R$1,870 on the accounts as of September 30, 2006.
d) ISS
GT filed an annulment suit (No. 443/2006) with a view to annul service tax (ISS) levied on mobile asset rental services, support activities and additional services. Conservatively, management maintained the amount of R$219 on the accounts as of September 30, 2006.
TES was assessed (No. 918/2005) in relation to ISS levied on mobile asset rental services, support activities and additional services. Conservatively, management maintained the amount of R$95 on the accounts as of September 30, 2006.
e) INSS
NBT was assessed (AI No. 35,365,561-9 and No. 2005,3900007327-6) by the national social security (INSS). Conservatively, management maintained the amount of R$830 on the accounts as of September 30, 2006.

16.1. Tax claims
16.1.1. Probable losses
a) ICMS
Based on the opinion of its external legal counsel, Telest recorded a provision of R$647 on September 30, 2006, referring to ICMS (State VAT) tax suits drawn up in 2002, currently under dispute in the administrative sphere.
b) Other
Company’s management recorded a provision of R$1,653, for various tax suits, based on the opinion of its external legal counsel.
16.1.2. Possible losses
Based on the opinion of its legal counsel and tax advisers, management believes that settling the matters listed below will not have a materially adverse effect on its financial position.
a) ICMS
TCO and its indirect subsidiaries NBT, Teleacre, Telems, Telemat and Telegoiás received tax assessments totaling R$74,176, mainly in respect of: (i) ICMS on occasional or complementary services that do not constitute telecommunications services; (ii) ICMS on international calls made from Brazil; (iii) failure to reverse proportionally an ICMS tax credit on the acquisition of permanent assets used in providing communications services and/or exempt or untaxed outgoing goods; (iv) ICMS on nonremunerated provision of telecommunications services, consisting of the donation of credits to be used in the prepaid service plan; (v) failure to include in the ICMS calculation base fines and arrears interest charged to defaulting clients; (vi) alleged failure to comply with supplementary obligations; and (vii) others relating to the sale of goods.
GT received tax assessments totaling R$1,296 in respect of paying ICMS outside the time limit.
TBA received tax assessments totaling R$43,490, mainly in respect of: (i) failure to reverse proportionally an ICMS tax credit on the acquisition of permanent assets, electric power and switching services arising from providing untaxed communications services; (ii) failure to reverse ICMS credits relative to handsets provided for rental and “free lease”; (iii) payment of ICMS outside the time limit in the period between February and March 1998; (iv) ICMS due on “complementary communications services”; (v) failure to reverse ICMS credit in relation to long distance and call center; and (vi) ICMS on sign-up fees.
TSE received tax assessments totaling R$18,088, mainly in respect of: (i) failure to reverse proportionally an ICMS tax credit on the acquisition of permanent assets, electric power and switching services arising from providing untaxed communications services; (ii) failure to reverse ICMS credits in relation to handsets provided for rental and “free lease”; (iii) ICMS on provision of handsets on consignment; and (iv) ICMS due on “complementary communications services”.
TES received tax assessments totaling R$8,090, mainly in respect of:
(i) incorrect ICMS credits; and (ii) failure to write up trade notes.
TRJ received tax assessments totaling R$76,178, mainly in respect of:
(i) ICMS due on “complementary communications services”; (ii) ICMS on sign-up fees; (iii) ICMS on calls originating from administrative and test terminals; (iv) ICMS due on services provided to other telecommunications operators to clients not eligible for exemption; (v) ICMS on international calls; (vi) failure to reverse proportionally ICMS tax credit on the acquisition of permanent assets; and (vii) ICMS on provision of unpaid telecommunications services.
CRT received tax assessments totaling R$18,941, mainly in respect of: (i) ICMS on international calls; (ii) paying ICMS outside the time limit; and (iii) ICMS on electric power.
TC received tax assessments totaling R$64,809, mainly in respect of:
(i) incorrect ICMS credits; and (ii) undue credit referring to posting values as extemporary credits.
b) PIS and COFINS
b.1) Increase in the calculation basis
The subsidiary Telesp Celular S.A. received assessments (suits No. 19515,000701/2003-28 and No. 19515,000699/2003-97) amounting to R$2,492, as a result of the increase in PIS and COFINS calculation basis. These assessments are being challenged by the subsidiary in the administrative sphere.
b.2) Hedge operations
COFINS assessment on TBA, referring to deductions relating to losses incurred on hedge operations in determining the calculation basis for this contribution. The amount involved is R$8,380.
c) ISS
c.1) ISS on tariff for use of the mobile network
On the understanding that assignment of the use of the telecommunications network constitutes a communications service subject to ICMS, and not rental of mobile assets, TBA and CRT were assessed by their respective municipalities, which are demanding payment of ISS on the tariff for use of the mobile network (TUM). The amount involved is R$98,984.
d) IRPJ
The Company accepted assessments received by its subsidiary TLE amounting to R$5,307 levied on underpayment, arising from the excess paid to FINOR, FINAN or FUNRES, as calculated during the Review of Declaration audit - excess investment in fiscal incentives.
e) IRPJ, IRRF and CSLL
Telerj received tax assessments amounting to R$193,594 to: (i) the use of part of the negative calculation basis of the CSLL determined by the Company in 1997, originating from a partial spin-off; (ii) alleged underpayment of IRPJ (corporate income tax) and CSLL, due to the fact that the inspectors did not accept the deductibility of certain expenses; (iii) alleged underpayment of IRRF on overseas remittances; and (iv) changes to the calculation basis for IRPJ and CSLL resulting from the reduction in the Company’s declared tax loss.
f) FUST
Through Precedent No. 7, of December 15, 2005, ANATEL expressed the understanding that: (i) revenues to be passed on to telecommunications service providers as remuneration for connection and for the use of network resources, among others, may not be excluded from the FUST calculation basis; and (ii) revenues received from telecommunications service providers as remuneration for connection and for the use of network resources, among others, may not be excluded from the calculation basis for contributions to FUST.
Since the second part of the Precedent is not in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 9,998, of August 17, 2000, article 6, sole paragraph, all the subsidiaries filed writs of mandamus challenging the legality of this requirement, and obtained a temporary restraining order suspending its demandability.
g) FISTEL
The subsidiary Telerj Celular S.A. holds two authorizations granted by the Public Authorities through SMP Authorization Document No. 013/2002: one to operate the Personal Mobile Service, for an indeterminate period, and the other to use the radio frequency on a primary basis for the remaining term of the first license, renewable for a further 15 years.
On November 30, 2005 the remaining period (15 years) for the use of the radio frequencies required by Telerj Celular S.A. to provide the Personal Mobile Service expired, and the procedures required to extend it were therefore put in motion. However, in order to obtain the license documents with a validity date adjusted for the extension (a right already recognized and granted by Act No. 54,324, of November 28, 2005), Telerj Celular S.A. was faced with the requirement, in its view uncalled for, to pay a new Installation Inspection Fee (TFI) for its mobile and fixed stations and radio links.
The demand for the TFI, totaling R$131,040, is the result of ANATEL’s interpretation that article 9, item III, of Resolution No. 255, applies in this case, so that the extension would constitute a taxable event for TFI. We do not, however, consider this interpretation of the law correct, and have, therefore, filed an administrative challenge.
16.2. Civil
16.2.1 Probable losses
Include several labor and civil claims, and a reserve was posted as shown previously, which is considered to be sufficient to cover the probable losses on these cases.
The principal cause registered corresponds to the original loans from Telecomunicações Brasileiras S.A. - Telebrás, which, according to Annex II of the Spin-off Report of February 28, 1998, approved at the General Meeting of May 1998, should have been attributed to the respective holding company of Telegoiás Celular S.A. and Telebrasília Celular S.A.
As it considered that there had been a mistake in the allocation of the respective loans at the time of the spin-off, the Company suspended payments.
In June 1999, the Company filed a suit requesting a statement that the assets corresponding to these liabilities, plus accessories of these assets, are its property, also claiming compensation for the amounts paid.
On August 1, 2001, a verdict was given against the Company’s claims, however, on October 8, 2001, the Company filed an appeal, which was also denied, maintaining the original verdict. The Company filed a new appeal, which is awaiting a decision by the Supreme Court (STJ).
16.2.2. Possible losses
In relation to claims in which a loss is classified as possible, the amount involved is R$278,026 for the civil claims and R$84,677 for the labor claims, as follows:

b) Interest on shareholders’ equity and dividends
The preferred shares do not have voting rights, except in the cases stipulated in articles 9 and 10 of the bylaws. They are, however, assured of priority in the reimbursement of capital, without premium, the right to participate in the dividend to be distributed, corresponding to a minimum of 25% of net income for the fiscal year, calculated in accordance with article 202 of corporate law, and priority in receiving minimum noncumulative dividends equivalent to the higher of the following amounts:
b.1) 6% per year on the amount resulting from dividing the subscribed capital by the total number of Company’s shares.
b.2) 3% per year on the amount resulting from division of the shareholders’ equity by the total number of Company’s shares, and also the right to participate in distributed income under equal conditions to the common shares, after the common shares have been assured of a dividend equal to the minimum priority dividend established for the preferred shares.
As from the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 27, 2004, the preferred shares are entitled to full voting rights, in accordance with article 111, paragraph 1, of Law No. 6,404/76, since the minimum dividends were not paid on the preferred shares for three consecutive years.
c) Special goodwill reserve
This reserve represents a special goodwill reserve formed as a result of the Company’s corporate restructuring, which will be capitalized in favor of the controlling shareholder at the time of effective realization of the tax benefit.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONSOLIDATED)
a) Risk considerations
The major market risks to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed in conducting their business are:
Credit risk: derived from the potential difficulty in collecting amounts of telecommunications services provided to customers, and the sales of handsets by the distribution network, together with the risks relating to investments and swap operations.
Interest rate risk: derived from the portion of the debt and liability positions in derivatives contracted at floating rates and involves the risk of financial expenses rising due to an unfavorable movement in interest rates (principally Libor, TJLP and CDI).
Currency risk: the possibility of the Company and its subsidiaries incurring losses on account of fluctuations in exchange rates that increase the balances of foreign currency denominated loan and financing liabilities.
The Company and its subsidiaries take a positive attitude towards the management of the various risks to which they are subject, by means of a wide-ranging set of operational initiatives, procedures and policies that enable the risks inherent in their businesses to be mitigated.
Credit risk
The credit risk of providing telecommunications services is minimized by strict control of the customer base and active management of default by means of clear policies relating to selling postpaid sets. As of September 30, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries had 82% (82% as of June 30, 2006) of their customer base under the prepaid system, which requires prepaid loading and therefore does not represent any credit risk.
The credit risk on the sale of handsets is managed by means of a conservative credit policy, using modern management methods that involve applying credit scoring techniques, balance sheet analysis and consulting commercial databases, together with the automatic control of sales release integrated with the SAP ERP software distribution module.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to credit risk derived from its investments and receivables from swap operations. The Company and its subsidiaries spread this risk by using various first line financial institutions.
Interest rate risk
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to the risk of a rise in interest rates, especially the combination of interest rates associated with the cost of the interbank deposit rates (CDI), due to the liability portion of the derivative operations (exchange hedge) and of loans contracted in Brazilian reais. In order to minimize exposure, the Company contracted CDI swap operations in Brazilian reais for fixed interest rates at a total reference value of R$1,507 million. The balance of financial investments, also indexed to the CDI, partially neutralizes this effect.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also exposed to fluctuations in the TJLP, as a result of the loans contracted from the BNDES. As of September 30, 2006, the principal of these operations amounted to R$191,947 (R$219,639 as of June 30, 2006). The Company and its subsidiaries have not contracted derivative operations to hedge the TJLP risk.
Loans contracted in foreign currency are also exposed to the risk of a rise in the interest rates (Libor) associated with foreign loans. As of September 30 and June 30, 2006, these operations totaled US$327,530 thousand of principal.
Of the total loans and financing associated with variable foreign interest rates (Libor), US$232,480 thousand have protection against interest rate variations (Libor) through derivatives (interest rate swap). The Company and its subsidiaries continue to monitor the market interest rates in order to evaluate the eventual need to contract other derivatives to protect against the risk of volatility of variable foreign rates for the remaining amount.
Currency risk
The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative instruments to protect against currency risk on foreign currency-denominated loans. The instruments normally used are swap options and forward contracts.
The following table summarizes the net exposure of the Company and its subsidiaries to the exchange rate factor as of September 30, 2006:

c) Market value of financial instruments
The market value of the loans and financing, swap and forward contracts was established based on the discounted cash flow method, using available interest rates projections.
The market values are calculated at a specific time based on information available and in-house valuation methodologies, and, therefore, the estimates indicated do not necessarily represent market realization values. The use of different assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
26. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, together with other companies of the former Telebrás system, sponsor private pension and health care plans for retired employees, managed by Fundação Sistel de Seguridade Social - SISTEL, as follows:
a) PBS-A: defined-benefit multisponsored plan, for participants that were previously assisted and had such status on January 31, 2000.
b) PBS-Telesp Celular, PBS-TCO, PBS-Tele Sudeste Celular and PBS-Tele Leste Celular: defined-benefit retirement plans sponsored individually by the companies.
The contributions to the PBS Plans are determined based on actuarial valuations prepared by independent actuaries, in accordance with the regulations in effect in Brazil. Cost is determined using the capitalization method and the contribution due by the sponsor is 13.5% of the payroll for the employees participating in the Plan, of which 12% is used to financing the PBS and 1.5% for the PAMA Plan. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the contributions to these Plans were R$14 (R$2 as of September 30, 2005).
c) PAMA: multisponsored healthcare plan for retired employees and their dependents, on a shared cost basis.
d) TCP Prev and TCO Prev Plans: these are individual defined and variable contribution plans, introduced by SISTEL in August 2000. The Company bears the risk of death and disability of the participants in both plans, and in the TCO Prev Plan some participants previously covered by the PBS-TCO Plan are entitled to retirement benefits for life (paid-up benefit), in addition to the defined contribution benefits. The Company’s contributions to the TCP Prev and TCO Prev Plans are equal to those of the participants, varying between 1% and 8% of the participation salary, according to the percentage chosen by the participant. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 the contributions to these Plans amounted to R$5,592 (R$5,021 as of September 30, 2005).
A number of claims were made through civil suit No. 04/081,668-0, brought by ASTEL against the SISTEL, citing Telefônica and Telesp Celular as well as SISTEL, summarized as follows: (i) that SISTEL should be prohibited from collecting from retired employees and other participants any contributions referring to PAMA Plan, and that they should only pay “a reasonable amount for the use made”, which should be limited to 1% of the monthly remuneration of the participant; (ii) that SISTEL should reenroll in the PAMA Plan, without any restrictions, retired employees and participants whose enrollment has been suspended for default, as well as those who could not stand
the pressure and asked for cancellation of their enrollment in the PAMA Plan or joined the PCE (Special Coverage Plan), if they so wished, also without restrictions; (iii) that SISTEL should reassess the economic needs of the PAMA Plan, including in respect of the amounts of the monthly contributions of the sponsors Telefônica and Telesp Celular; (iv) that the sponsors’ contribution should be calculated based on the payroll of all its employees, in accordance with the previous provision of the bylaws, and not on a percentage of the payroll of the active participants of the PBS Plan; (v) that SISTEL should reestablish the accreditation of all the hospitals, clinics and laboratories that had been cancelled; (vi) that a review should be made of the accounting distribution of the equity, so as to attribute to PAMA Plan the amounts relating to the reduction factor of the additional payments, as above, and that, until this review has been made, SISTEL should be prohibited from any spin-off of the net equity of the PBS-A Plan or any other plan managed by SISTEL; (vii) that SISTEL and the sponsors should reverse the “transfer of equity from the main substratum intended to guarantee PBS-2 and PAMA, illegally taken across to the Telesp Visão Plan (Plano Visão Telesp) and Vision Prev (Visão Prev)” of Telesp Celular; and (viii) granting of advance relief in respect of items “i”, “ii” and “v”.
Through its actuarial advisers, Telesp Celular prepared a study considering the impacts described above; accordingly, the change in the costing as claimed by the ASTEL civil suit represents an additional burden on the provisions of Telesp Celular, amounting to R$872.
Based on the opinions of its legal counsel and tax advisers, management believes that at this time there is no risk of payment, and, as of September 30, 2006, the probability of loss was classified as possible.
e) Plano de Benefícios Visão Celular - Tele Leste: defined contribution individual plan - the Visão Celular benefit plan, introduced by SISTEL in August 2000.
The Company’s contributions to the Visão Celular Plan are equal to those of the participants, varying from 0% to 7% of the participation salary, according to the percentage chosen by the participant. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, contributions to this Plan were R$614 (R$615 as of September 30, 2005).
f) Plano de Benefícios Visão Celular - Tele Sudeste: individual defined contribution plan - the Visão Celular benefit plan, introduced by SISTEL in August 2000.
The subsidiaries’ contributions to the Visão Celular Plan are equal to those of the participants, varying between 2% to 9% of the participation salary, according to the percentage chosen by the participant. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, contributions of R$2,519 (R$2,371 as of September 30, 2005) were made to the PBS-Tele Sudeste Celular and Visão Celular Plans.
g) Defined benefits plans: CRT sponsored defined-benefit pension plans (founder benefits plan and the alternative benefits plan), which were managed by the Fundação dos Empregados da Companhia Riograndense de Telecomunicações - FCRT.
On December 21, 2001, the subsidiary and Brasil Telecom S.A., sponsors of the FCRT, signed a Term of Commitment for the full separation of the sponsors, through the withdrawal of the subsidiary as a sponsor and a guarantee that this withdrawal would be carried out strictly in accordance with the pertinent legislation and respecting the rights of the participants. This was approved by the Supplementary Pensions Office on December 30, 2003.
Although the existing legislation permits the suspension of deductions of the contributions of the sponsors and participants from January 2002 to December 2003, the subsidiary continued to make the payments as a way of safeguarding and preserving participants’ rights until the effective withdrawal of the subsidiary from sponsorship of the FCRT.
The actuarial valuation of the Plan adopted the methodology for withdrawal of the sponsor established by MPAS CPC Resolution No. 06/88.
The reserves were individually valued, based on the methodology defined in the above Resolution for each of the categories (assisted persons and pensioners, imminent and nonimminent risks).
As agreed with FCRT, since October 2004 the subsidiary has been transferring to SISTEL the amount planned as a savings reserve for active company employees who opted to migrate from the FCRT Alternative/Founder Plan to the Visão Plan, amounting to R$9,515 as of September 30 and June 30, 2006. Of the R$9,922 provisioned as of September 30, 2006 (R$9,773 as of June 30, 2006), R$3,245 refers to the withdrawal reserve for participants with an Agreement of Intent to transfer to BrTPrev who are awaiting the outcome of procedures with the INSS (national social security) to obtain retirement. The balance of the provision should be transferred during the year 2006, on conclusion of the validation of the amounts presented.
The amount of R$14,577 claimed by BrTPrev as a contingent legal and actuarial liability is under analysis and the Company is not in a position to confirm its existence and the chances of realization.
h) Visão Celular CRT Benefit Plan: after approval of the process of withdrawal from the sponsorship by FCRT, the Supplementary Pension Office also approved the Visão Celular CRT Benefit Plan - Visão Plan (Plano Visão), implemented by the subsidiary as of March 1, 2004, when this Plan, of the individual defined contributions type, managed by SISTEL, was offered to its employees. The Visão Plan is funded by the contributions of the participants (employees) and sponsor, which are credited to participants’ individual accounts. The sponsor is responsible for all administrative and plan maintenance costs, including forecasting account balances for participants’ death and invalid benefits.
The subsidiary’s contributions to the Visão Celular Plan are equal to those of the participants, varying from 0% to 9% of the participation salary, according to the percentage chosen by the participant.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the subsidiary made contributions of R$657 (R$605 as of September 30, 2005) to the Visão Celular Plan.
27. CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING
The goodwill paid on the privatization of the Company and on the acquisition of its subsidiaries was transferred by the acquiring companies to the acquired companies.
Previously, the transfers were constituted as provisions for maintaining the net equity of the acquired companies, and, consequently, the net acquired assets essentially represent the fiscal benefit arising from the deductibility of the goodwill acquired.
The accounting records maintained for the Companies’ corporate and fiscal purposes contain specific accounts related to goodwill and the incorporated provision, and the corresponding balances for amortization, reversal and tax benefits are as follows:

32. “COMBINED” FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As a result of the incorporation of TCO shares, to convert Vivo into a fully-owned subsidiary, and the merger of the companies TSD, TLE and CRTPart with Vivo (corporate restructuring), the consolidated statements of loss for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are not comparable.
In order to provide an appropriate basis for comparison, we are disclosing the “combined” consolidated financial information, considering the consolidation of all the companies, as if the corporate restructuring had occurred on January 1, 2005.
This information is presented merely to permit additional analyses arising from the comparison of balances and transactions, and is not intended to represent what might have occurred if the companies TSD, TLE and CRTPart had in fact been incorporated by the Company and TCO converted into a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company on January 1, 2005, or to present the isolated statements of a corporation, neither does it necessarily indicate future results.
In order to prepare the “combined” financial information, the premise adopted was to fully consolidate the financial information of the Companies, eliminating transactions between related parties as of September 30, 2005.

Operating Revenue
Increase of service revenue
Data revenue increase |
The total net revenue grew 8.7% in relation to 2Q06, as a result of the increase in the revenue from services, especially in the revenue of usage of networks due to termination of the partial Bill&Keep system, recording R$2,824.9 million in the quarter. In relation to 3Q05, it recorded an increase of 0.5% mainly due to the increase in the revenue from usage of network, even though considering the effects of right planning and the impact of the sales of a lesser number of handsets. By eliminating the effects mainly of the termination of the partial Bill&Keep system, the net service revenue would answer for 1.0% growth in relation to the previous quarter. The increase of 2.0% in “subscription and usage revenue”, when compared to 2Q06, is mainly due to the increase in the total outgoing revenue. Such increase is due to the growth in the outgoing traffic, offsetting the effects of the transition from fixed-mobile traffic to mobile-mobile traffic, with consequent drop in roaming revenue. In comparison to 3Q05, there was an 8.0% reduction mainly due to the free minute bonus campaigns and “right planning”. It is worth mentioning the increase in total outgoing traffic registered in this period. Data revenue was up 8.5% in the comparison between 3Q06 and 3Q05. This increase is due to the company’s efforts related to development of products and services using its technology and its communication and information to users. It is reflects on a widespread access and use of the tools, in addition to increase in the customer base, with growth potential. The 40% reduction in SMS tariffs adopted in this quarter did not result in a decrease of its revenue in the same proportion. The SMS revenue accounted for 53.6% of data revenues in 3Q06. The WAP revenue increased by 15.3% in a year-to-year comparison, with potential growth due to the increase in the number of activated handsets. |

Operating Costs:
Strict control over manageable costs |
In the comparison between 3Q06 and 2Q06, the reduction in personnel cost is mainly due to severance costs related to the last stage of the process for outsourcing labor for the shops, more than offset by hiring of own labor for the IT/IS administrative activities, previously rendered in part by outsourcing. The variation between 3Q06 and the same period of 2005 is a result of the collective bargaining agreement, offset by a reduction in the average headcount in the periods: 3Q06 with an average of 5,919 employees and 3Q05 with an average of 6,053 employees.
|
|
The increase of 58.8% in the cost of services rendered in 3Q06, when compared to 2Q06, is due to the increase in interconnection costs, offset by the reduction of provisions related to the co-billing process that is the result of negotiation with the other operators. Also contributed expenses with third-party services because of the increase in data processing expenses. When compared to 3Q05, the increase was 78.7% due, also, to the increase in interconnection costs and third-party services. It must be emphasized that after the effects of termination of the partial Bill&Keep system are eliminated, the cost of services rendered would record a 6.6% reduction in relation to the previous quarter.
|
The cost of goods sold decreased by 6.4% and 8.1% in relation to 2Q06 and 3Q05, respectively due to the reduction in activations in the period, and change in the mix of handsets sold.
|
In 3Q06, selling expenses were reduced by 30.4% in relation to 2Q06 and by 9.2% in comparison to 3Q05, as a result of the reduction in expenses with provisions for bad debt, in addition to the reduction in expenses with third-party services, especially publicity and advertising.
|
PDD – significant reduction in the quarter |
The Provision for Bad Debtors – PDD registered in the 3Q06 the amount of R$ 147.8 millions, reaching 3.7% of the total gross revenue, which represents a 56.4% reduction in relation to the previous quarter. To the achievement of such reduction in PDD, it is worth mentioning the role played by the implementation of new systems for credit management employed in the capture of new clients and in maintaining the existing client base, together with the increased number of actions to improve collection. It is also important to notice that there is a reduction in the PDD related to the previous quarter even after the extraordinary effects registered in the 2Q06 (in the amount of R$ 161.5 million) are netted out. The improvement is also due to the implementation of the projects devised to control clone and fraud which have so far reduced the occurrence of such cases in approximately 84% related to the same period last year.
|
|
General and administrative expenses recorded a reduction of 22.5% and 29.0% in relation to 2Q06 and 3Q05. Such reduction is mainly due to the reduction in expenses with consultancy, outsourcing and data processing, by reason of the conclusion of most of the unification projects of the IT and IS platforms which already include more than 90.0% of the customers, thus contributing to expense reduction and management improvement.
|
Other Operating Revenues / Expenses recorded revenues of R$ 27.9 million in 3Q06, due to increase in revenues generated from provision reversal, commercial incentives and recovery of expenses, offset by increase in expenses with taxes, charges and contributions. |
Depreciation and Amortization
|
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 5.0% and 8.5% in 3Q06 in relation to 3Q05 and 2Q06, respectively, due to amortization of intangible assets, such as software and licenses, depreciation of analogic radio-base stations, offset by a reduction in expenses with depreciation of digital ERBs. |

Reduction in financial expenses between the periods |
VIVO’s net financial expense in 3Q06 was reduced by R$ 12.0 million when compared to 2Q06. Such variation was caused, by the reduction in the interest rate for the period (3.58% in 2Q06 and 3.51% in 3Q06) assessed on the net indebtedness, which was reduced by 4.3%. In the comparison between 3Q06 and 3Q05, VIVO reduced its net financial expense by R$ 11.1 million, mainly due to the reduction in the interest rate of the period (4.74% in 3Q05 and 3.51% in 3Q06). |

Reduction in net debt
|
On September 30, 2006, VIVO’s debts related to loans and financings amounted to R$ 4,699.6 million (R$ 4,686.4 million on June 30, 2006), 60% of which is denominated in foreign currency. The Company has signed exchange rate hedging contracts thus protecting 100% of its financial debt against foreign exchange volatility, so that the final cost (debt and swap) is Reais-referenced. This debt was offset by the Company’s available cash and financial investments (R$ 966.9 million) and by derivative assets and liabilities (R$ 414.9 million payable) resulting in a net debt of R$ 4,147.6 million, a 4.3% reduction in relation to June 2006. It is remarkable the 12.5% reduction in the gross debt, equivalent to R$669.9 million in relation to the 3Q05. The reduction in VIVO’s net debt in 3Q06 in relation to 2Q06 in the amount of R$ 186.4 million is mainly due to the fact that the service of debt cost has been more than offset by an increase in the generation of net operating cash. Short term debt answered for 32% of the total debt on September 30, 2006 (40% in June 2006), covered by the company’s cash and operating cash flow. |
