1

The Company continues in the year of 2010 focusing on services quality and customer relationship, after a complete transformation in its processes, already reflecting perceptible results in its commercial activity.

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company achieves the highest level of net additions in the Speedy´s history and on July 16, 2010 reached an important number of 3 million clients.

For the first time since 2006, there were positive net additions in lines in service in this quarter, surpassing the quantity of clients registered at the end of 2009.

In this context, we highlight a significant reduction of churn in both services, besides a significant increase in the customer’s satisfaction index.

This strong rise in the commercial activity is gradually being reflected in the Company’s revenues.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

Lines in Service – the new operational model of Telesp with focus on quality improvement continues reflecting advances in services and in customer’s satisfaction. In this context, we highlight the positive net additions of lines in service registered in the second quarter of 64 thousand accesses, reversing a trend that wasn’t recorded since 2006. With this level of accesses, the Company has already surpassed the quantity of lines in service registered at the end of 2009. Broadband - offered under the brands “Speedy” and “Ajato”, already surpassed the number of 3 million clients with a net addition in 2Q10 of 173 thousand clients, thus overcoming a historical landmark of net additions registered in 1Q10. This evolution reflects the customer’s confidence on the Company’s commitment to quality through the deployment of the stabilization plan and the network expansion and a complete review in the commercial processes and customer relationship. The improvement of this service keeps guarantying an expressive reduction of churn, this quarter reaching the lowest level of the history of this service.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

As of 2010 the breakdown of Gross Operating Revenues is presented with net values of discounts granted. Consequently, the consolidated information of the second quarter and the first half of 2009 were adjusted and showed for comparative purposes using the same criteria.

The Net Operating Revenues continues presenting a recovery trend when compared to previous quarters. In the second quarter of 2010, the net operating revenues present a slight drop of 1.0% in relation to the same period of the previous year and in the semester comparison it is observed a decrease of 1.4%. This variation is mainly justified by a revenue reduction of local fixed telephony, explained by a drop of VC1 and fixed-to-fixed traffics, despite the increased number of lines in service. On the other hand, it was registered a rise of broadband revenues and corporate data, beyond the increase of interconnection revenues due to the higher fixed and mobile incoming traffic.

The EBITDA also continues showing a recovery trend related to previous quarters. When comparing 2Q10 x 2Q09, it is observed a reduction of 6.7% in comparison with a 13.9% decrease in 1Q10 x 1Q09 basis. Excluding non-recurring events of the period, EBITDA shows a decrease of 3.9% when comparing 2Q10 x 2Q09.

The EBITDA Margin presents a decrease of 2.4 p.p. in relation to the 2Q10 x 2Q09, in comparison with a reduction of 4.6 p.p. in 1Q10 x 1Q09 basis. However, excluding non-recurring events in both periods, the EBITDA Margin would be 35.3% in 2Q10, a drop of 1.1 p.p. compared to the Margin of 36.4% in 2Q09. This variation is mainly explained by the increase of commercial and customer service expenses and by the higher base of employees partially offset by lower bad debt provisions in the period.

The Capex in the second quarter of 2010 was R$461.1 million, 11.8% of the net operating revenues compared to 12.7% in 2Q09. The lower churn in the period shows that the Company was able to improve significantly its quality metrics without major changes in the level of investments.

OPERATING REVENUES

The gross operating revenue in 2Q10 totaled R$5,299.3 million, a reduction of 1.6% related to the 2Q09, in comparison with a 3.4% decrease in the 1Q10 x 1Q09 basis. The variations are justified by the following items:

Fixed Telephony

Local: reached R$2,543.7 million in 2Q10, a decrease of 5.8% in relation to the 2Q09, in comparison with a drop of 6.8% in the 1Q10 x 1Q09 basis. This effect is mainly related to the rise in the installation fee and local service revenue due to the positive net additions of 64 thousand lines in service registered in the quarter, thus surpassing the quantity of lines in service recorded at the end of 2009. On the other hand, it was registered a reduction of VC1 and fixed-to-fixed traffics.

Domestic long distance: in 2Q10 totaled R$1,185.1 million, an increase of 3.3% in relation to the 2Q09, in comparison with a 2.5% decrease in the 1Q10 x 1Q09 basis. This trend change is explained by higher mobile incoming traffic with the “15” use (selection code of the operator) and by the positive impact of the tariff readjustment of 0.98% as of September, 2009.

International long distance: reached R$24.8 million in 2Q10, an increase of 2.9% when compared to the 2Q09 explained by the traffic variation.

Interconnection revenues

In 2Q10 totaled R$130.5 million, an increase of 14.6% when compared to the 2Q09. This variation is related to a higher fixed and mobile incoming traffic and to the tariff readjustment of 0.98% as of September, 2009.

Data Transmission

The data transmission revenues reached R$1,006.8 million in 2Q10, a rise of 1.4% when compared to the 2Q09. This effect is justified by the growth of customers base, reflecting the actions of encourage sales and the Company’s commitment to quality, beyond the performance of corporate data.

Pay TV

In 2Q10 totaled R$146.2 million, registering an increase of 16.3% in relation to the 2Q09, in comparison with a growth of 5.7% in the 1Q10 x 1Q09 basis. This effect is related to the higher adherence to thematic packages and pay-per-view in the premium segment, mainly explained by the World Cup and by the commercialization of High Definition packages. Throughout the quarter there was an important reduction of churn, and June was the first month of the year with net gain of clients in this service.

Others

In 2Q10 registered R$262.2 million, a decrease of 5.8% when compared to the 2Q09. This reduction is mainly justified by lower revenues of goods resale and value added services, partially offset by a revenue increase explained by providing integrated solutions for the corporate segment.

OPERATING EXPENSES

The operating expenses in 2Q10 totaled R$2,382.0 million, an increase of 3.0% related to the 2Q09, in comparison with a 5.5% rise in the 1Q10 x 1Q09 basis. The variations are justified by the following items:

Interconnection expenses: in 2Q10 totaled R$1,081.7 million, remaining stable in comparison with the 2Q09. Such effect is explained by the reduction of fixed-to-mobile (VCs), practically offset by a higher mobile incoming traffic with the “15” use (selection code of the operator) and by the VUM adjustment in February, 2010 of 0.67%.

Personnel expenses: reached R$238.0 million in 2Q10, an increase of R$31.2 million in relation to the recurrent 2Q09, mainly due to the higher base of employees, labor indemnities and salaries readjustments of 4.5% in October, 2009. It’s important to highlight that 2Q09 was positively impacted by a R$158.7 million reversal of labor contingencies.

Outsourcing expenses: reached R$1,009.3 million in 2Q10, an increase of 10.1% when compared to the 2Q09. This effect is mainly related to the increase of commercial and customer service expenses, as a result of the Company’s commitment to quality and customer’s satisfaction. Additionally, it is observed higher expenses with institutional propaganda in the period because of the concentration of advertising campaigns in 2Q10.

Bad Debt Provisions: from R$153.9 million in 2Q09 to R$113.7 million in 2Q10, a decrease of 26.1% in comparison with a 18.8% decrease in the 1Q10 x 1Q09 basis. As a percentage of the net operating revenues, the ratio decreases from 3.9% in 2Q09 to 2.9% in 2Q10. This effect is explained by an improvement in the customer base profile through the Company's strong performance in its practice of commercial policy.

Taxes: reached R$86.0 million in 2Q10, a decrease of 12.8% when compared to the 2Q09. This effect is mainly justified by the higher taxes recovery.

Investment gains (losses): in 2Q10 presented a positive result of R$3.7 million, compared to a negative result of R$0.5 million in 2Q09. This variation is justified by the effect of equity accounting of shareholding on Cable TV operators.

Other operating revenues (expenses): totaled R$143.0 million in 2Q10, a positive variation of R$155.1 million compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the stock sales and prescription of dividends in 2Q10 in the total amount of R$138.8 million. On the other hand, 2Q09 was positively impacted in R$32.9 million by the higher prescription of dividends offsetting the additional provision for civil processes in the period.

Depreciation and Amortization: from R$636.0 million in 2Q09 to R$461.6 million in 2Q10, a decrease of 27.4% explained by the adoption of new terms for determinate categories of assets, which resulted in changes in the useful life time related to those practiced in 2009. Because it is a change in accounting estimate, the effects of this change will be recorded prospectively from the year of 2010. This movement generated a reduction of R$239.9 million in the depreciation expense in 1H10 and R$124.3 million in 1Q10, with a total impact estimated of R$440 million for the year of 2010.

(*) The ratio was calculated over the EBITDA composed by the sum of the four previous quarters.

Derivatives: all Company’s financial derivative contracts aim the protection of exchange risk resulting from assets and liabilities in foreign currency, in accordance to the corporate policy of risk management. Following this, variations on risk factors result in an inverse effect intended to protection. Therefore, the Company doesn’t have financial derivative instruments to speculation propose and the rights and obligations subject to exchange variation are hedged.

On June 30, 2010, for protection of currency variations risk propose, 100% of the Company’s financial debt denominated in foreign currency was covered by asset positions of exchange hedge x “CDI” with fair value of R$21.3 million, equivalent to the fair value of this debt. On the same date, the Company already had settled, also in advance, the swap operations – CDI + spread x %CDI, to cover the risk of its fixed rate spread of debentures redeemed on June 7, 2010.

From the month of May 2010 were contracted derivative operations to minimize the currency variation risk of its assets and nonfinancial liabilities in foreign currency. This balance suffers daily changes due to the dynamic of its business, however, the Company aims to cover the net balance of this rights and obligations to minimize their currency risk. On June 30, 2010, the Company had asset positions of exchange hedge (USD) with fair value of R$35.4 million to cover its net commitments in dollars of R$34.0 million and liability positions of exchange hedge (EUR) with fair value of R$75.8 million to cover its net rights in Euro of R$76.4 million.

For the period ended on June 30, 2010, the derivative operations generated a positive net consolidated result of R$1,316.0 thousand, while the currency operations generated a negative net consolidated result of R$1,235.5 thousand, the operations to cover the debentures fixed spread generated a positive result of R$80.5 thousand.

2) TARIFFS READJUSTMENT OCCURRED IN 2010 AND 2009

On the same date, was also approved the readjustment of fixed-to-mobile interconnection rate (VUM) related to the VC1, VC2 and VC3 in 0.67%. The readjustments were effective as of February 13, 2010.

3) CHANGES ON THE ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

From 2010 the consolidated information are presented by the Company in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the IASB. Consequently, the consolidated information referred to 2009 were adjusted and presented for comparative purposes using the same criteria. The adjustment of information to international accounting regulation was performed by applying IFRS 1 - First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. Therewith, follow the main differences that impacted the financial statements at this time of transition:

a) Business Combinations: the Company chose not to retroactively apply the requirements of IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, maintaining the same classification of Brazilian GAAP prior to December 31, 2008. Since January 1, 2009 there weren’t operations that involved business combinations.

b) Revenue recognition: in accordance with IAS 18, revenue from services provided should be recognized in accordance with timing of the service. For purposes of IFRS, installation fee revenue shall be deferred and recognized in result during the client’s estimated period time in operational Indicators.

c) Post-employment benefits: The Company maintained its Brazilian GAAP accounting policy of immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses, whereas for IFRS purposes are recognized in Shareholder’s equity (other comprehensive results).

d) Proposed Dividend: according to the interpretation IFRIC 17, must be recognized a liability for dividend only when there is its effective deliberation by the administrative body responsible. Therefore, the proposed dividend above the minimum required by the Bylaws that has not yet been definitely approved by the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting should remain in the Shareholders´ Equity in the account “Additional dividends proposed”.

e) Dividends and Interest on Own Capital prescribed: in accordance with IAS 32, any contractual obligation to deliver cash shall be considered as a financial liability. Therefore once approved by the Administration all dividends and interest on own capital payable to shareholders of the Company qualify as a financial




11

liability. In accordance with IAS 39, a financial liability shall be derecognized upon its extinguishment and any difference between its carrying amount and the consideration paid shall be recognized in profit or loss. In this sense, the liabilities corresponding to the dividends and interest on own capital unclaimed by shareholders after three years of the start of its payment date are derecognized against profit or loss of the year in which occurs the prescription of the obligation. Previously, for purposes of BR GAAP, such dividends derecognized were recorded directly in Shareholder’s equity.

f) Income tax: on the adjustments previously mentioned was consisted income tax and social contribution deferred, when applicable.
