To Shareholders, Board Members and Management of:

 

Telefônica Brasil S.A.

São Paulo – SP

Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim accounting information of Telefônica Brasil S.A. and subsidiaries, contained in the ITR (Quarterly Information Form), referring to the quarter ended on June 30, 2014, which comprises the balance sheet of June 30, 2014 and the respective statements of income, of comprehensive income for the period so three and six months then ended and of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the notes.

The management is responsible for the preparation of the individual interim financial information in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Statements, and the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB, as well as for the presentation of the information in accordance with the standards issued by CVM (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – Brazilian SEC), applicable to the preparation of Interim Information – ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim accounting information based on our review.

 

Scope of review

We have conducted our review according to the Brazilian and International standards of review for interim information (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”, respectively). A review of interim information consists of queries, especially to those responsible for financial and accounting matters and the application of analytical procedures and other review procedures.

The scope of a review is significantly smaller than the scope of an audit conducted in accordance with audit standards and, consequently, it did not allow us to obtain assurance that we were aware of all significant matters which could be identified in an audit. Consequently, we did not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion on the individual interim information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which could lead us to believe that the individual interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above were not prepared, in all relevant aspects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1), applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information – ITR, and presented according to the standards issued by CVM.

 

Conclusion on the consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which could lead us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above were not prepared, in all relevant aspects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1), and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information – ITR, and presented according to the standards issued by CVM.

Other matters                                            

Interim information of value added

We have also reviewed, the interim statement of value added (SVA), individual and consolidated, related to the three-month period ended on June 30, 2014, prepared under the Entity’s management responsibility, the presentation of which, in the interim information, is required according to the standards issued by CVM applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information – ITR, and considered as supplementary information by the IFRSs, which do not require the presentation of the SVA. These statements were submitted to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which could lead us to believe that they were not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the individual and consolidated interim financial information as a whole.

Audit and review of previous year’s comparative amounts

The individual and consolidated Quarterly Information (ITR), mentioned in the first paragraph include the financial information corresponding to income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flow and value added of the quarter ended June 30, 2013, obtained from the Quarterly Information (ITR) of that semester and from the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, obtained from the financial statements of December 31, 2013, presented for comparison purposes. The review of the Quarterly Information of the quarter ended on March 31, 2013 and the exam of the financial statements of the period ended on December 31, 2013 were conducted under the responsibility of the independent auditors, who issued review and audit reports dated July 22, 2013 and February 25, 2014, with no changes.

Frequency authorizations granted by ANATEL for mobile telephone services may be renewed only once, over a 15-year period, through payment, every two years after the first renewal, of fees equivalent to 2% of the Company’s prior-year revenue, net of taxes and social contributions, related to the application of the Basic and Alternative Plans of Service.

c. Corporate restructuring

In order to streamline the Company’s organizational structure, to rationalize the services provided by its subsidiaries and to concentrate service provision in two operating entities, namely the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Telefônica Data S.A. (TData or Subsidiary), the Company carried out a corporate restructuring approved by ANATEL, under the terms of Act No. 3043 of May 27, 2013, as published in the Federal Official Gazette (DOU) of May 29, 2013, subject to the conditions thereunder.

The Board of Directors’ meeting held on June 11, 2013 approved the terms and conditions of the corporate restructuring process involving the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries.

Company Annual General Meeting held on July 1, 2013 approved the aforementioned corporate restructuring, which included spin-offs and mergers of subsidiaries and of companies directly or indirectly controlled by the Company, so that the economic activities other than telecommunications services, including the provision of Value Added Services as defined in article 61 of the General Telecommunications Law (LGT) (with such activities being jointly and generally referred to as SVAs), provided by the various wholly-owned subsidiaries/subsidiaries were concentrated in TData and the telecommunication services were consolidated by the Company.

All of the spin-offs or split-ups, as the case may be, and the merger of the net assets of the companies involved in the restructuring process took place on the same date and had the same reporting date (April 30, 2013), as follows: the Company merged (i) the net assets of TData, arising from its spin-off, corresponding to the activities related to the provision of service of Multimedia Communication Service (SCM); (ii) the net assets of Vivo S.A. (Vivo), arising from its split-up, corresponding to the use of Personal Communication Services (SMP), Multimedia Communication Services (SCM) and STFC in local, domestic and international long distance calls in regions I and II of the General Service Concession Plan (PGO), and the net assets of SVAs and other services other than telecommunications services were merged into TData and Vivo’s operations were ceased; (iii) the net assets of ATelecom S.A. (ATelecom), arising from its split-up, corresponding to the activities related to the provision of Conditional Access Audiovisual Services (SEAC) (through DTH technology) and SCM, and the net assets of SVAs and other services other than telecommunications services were merged into TData, thus ATelecom's operations were ceased; and (iv) Telefônica Sistema de Televisão S.A. (TST), which concentrated the activities related to the provision of SEAC and SCM services before its merger into the Company, due to the full merger of Lemontree Participações S.A. (Lemontree), GTR-T Participações e Empreendimentos S.A. (GTR-T), Ajato Telecomunicações Ltda (Ajato), Comercial Cabo TV São Paulo S.A. (CaTV) e TVA Sul Paraná S.A. (Sul Paraná), thus TST, Lemontree, GTR-T, Ajato, CaTV and Sul Paraná had its operations ceased.

The merger of companies and net assets previously described did not result in any capital increase or issue of new Company shares; accordingly, the corporate restructuring did not result in any changes in ownership interest currently held by Company shareholders.

There is no question of replacing shares of noncontrolling shareholders of the spun-off companies with shares of the merging company, since the Company was, upon the merger of net assets and/or companies, as the case may be, the sole shareholder of the companies spun off/ merged.  Accordingly, an equity valuation report at market price was not prepared for calculating the noncontrolling share replacement ratio as defined in article 264 of Law No. 6404/76, and article 2, paragraph 1, item VI of CVM Rule No. 319/99, based on recent understandings expressed by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) regarding consultations in connection with similar restructuring processes and based on CVM Rule No. 559 of November 18, 2008.

The corporate restructuring was described in detail in Note 1b) - “Corporate restructuring” disclosed in the financial statements as at December 31, 2013.

 

d. Share trading on stock exchanges

 

The Company is listed in the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) as a publicly-held company under Category A (issuers authorized to trade any marketable securities) and has shares traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&FBovespa). It is also listed in the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and its level II American Depositary Shares (ADS), backed by preferred shares only, are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

 

e. Agreement between Telefónica S.A. and Telecom Italia

 

TELCO S.p.A. (in which Telefónica S.A. held a 46.18% interest) has a 22.4% interest with voting rights in Telecom Italia., and is the majority shareholder of this company.

 

Telefónica S.A. holds indirect control in Telefônica Brasil, and Telecom Italia, S.p.A. holds an indirect interest in TIM S.A. (TIM), a Brazilian telecommunications company.  Neither Telefónica S.A., nor Telefônica Brasil or any other affiliate of Telefónica S.A. interfere in, are involved with or have decision-making powers over TIM operations in Brazil, also being lawfully and contractually forbidden to exercise any type of political power derived from indirect interest held as concerns operations in Brazil, directly related to TIM operations. TIM (Brazil) and Telefônica Brasil compete in all markets in which they operate in Brazil under permanent competitive stress and, in this context, as well as in relation to the other economic players in the telecommunications industry, maintain usual and customary contractual relations with one another (many of which are regulated and inspected by ANATEL) and/or which, as applicable, are informed to ANATEL and Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), concerning the commitments assumed before these agencies so as to ensure total independence of their operations.

 

On September 24, 2013, Telefónica S.A., entered into an agreement with the other shareholders of the Italian company TELCO S.p.A. whereby Telefónica S.A. subscribed and paid up capital in TELCO, S.p.A. through a contribution of 324 million euros, receiving shares without voting rights of TELCO, S.p.A as consideration. As a result of this capital increase, the share capital of Telefónica S.A. voting in TELCO, S.p.A. remaining unchanged (remaining at 46.18%), although their economic participation rose to 66%. Thus, the governance of TELCO S.p.A., as well as the obligations of Telefónica S.A. to abstain from participating in or influencing the decisions that impact the industries where they both operate, remained unchanged.

In the same document, Italian shareholders of TELCO S.p.A. granted Telefónica S.A. an option to purchase all of their shares in TELCO S.p.A. Exercising this call option was subject to obtaining the required previous approvals from antitrust authorities and telecommunications regulatory agencies as applicable (including Brazil and Argentina), beginning eligible after January 1, 2014, whenever the Shareholders’ Agreement remains in full force and effect, except (i) between June 1 and June 30, 2014 and between January 15 and February 15, 2015; and (ii) during certain periods in case the Italian shareholders of TELCO, S.p.A. request the entity’s spin-off.

 

On December 4, 2013, the CADE announced the following decisions:

 

1)     Approve, subject to the limitations described below, the acquisition, by Telefónica S.A., of the total interest held by Portugal Telecom, SGPS SA and PT Móveis – Serviços de Telecomunicações, SGPS, SA (PT) in Brasilcel NV, which controlled Brazilian mobile telecommunications operator Vivo Participações S.A. (Vivo Part.).

 

The transaction has been approved by ANATEL and its completion (requiring no prior approval from CADE at the time) took place immediately after approval from ANATEL, on September 27, 2010.

 

The limitations imposed by CADE on its decision are as follow:

b)  Telefónica S.A. shall cease to have, either directly or indirectly, an equity interest in TIM Participações S.A.

 

2)     Impose a R$ 15 million fine on Telefónica S.A. for violating the will and purpose of the agreement executed by and between Telefónica S.A. and CADE, as a requirement to approve the initial purchase transaction of Telecom Italia in 2007, due to the subscription and payment, by Telefónica S.A., of TELCO S.p.A. nonvoting shares in the context of its recent capital increase.  This decision also requires Telefónica S.A. to dispose of its nonvoting shares held in TELCO S.p.A.

 

The deadline for compliance with the conditions and obligations imposed by CADE in both decisions were classified as confidential by CADE.

 

At December 13, 2013, Telefónica S.A. published a material news release regarding the decisions made by CADE in the meeting held on December 4, 2013, stating that it considered the measures imposed by that agency to be unreasonable, thus started applicable legal proceedings in July, 2014.

 

In this context, and in order to strengthen its firm commitment to the obligations previously assumed by Telefónica S.A. to keep away from Telecom Italia's business in Brazil, Telefónica S.A. pointed out, in a material news release that Mr.  César Alierta Izuel and Mr. Julio Linares López had decided to resign with immediate effect, from the position of Directors at Telecom Itália S.p.A. .Additionally, Mr. Julio Linares López decided to resign, with immediate effect, from his position on the list presented by TELCO S.p.A. for a potential re-election to the Board of Directors of Telecom Itália, S.p.A.

On June 16, 2014, the Italian shareholders of TELCO, S.p.A. decided to exercise their rights to request the spin-off ensured by the Shareholders' Agreement of the company. The implementation of this spin-off was approved at the Annual General Meeting of TELCO, S.p.A. on July 9, 2014, and is subject to the previous authorization by competente authorities, incuding CADE and ANATEL in Brazil. Whenever authorized, the spin-off will be implemented through the transfer of all current interest held by TELCO, S.p.A. in the Telecom Itália, S.p.A. capital, to four (4) new companies, which are wholly owned by one of the current shareholders of TELCO, S.p.A., and which are designed to hold interest in the capital of Telecom Itália, S.p.A., proportionally to the current economic interest of their respective future controlling shareholder in the capital of TELCO, S.p.A.

 

Regulatory approvals in Brazil to the spin-off of TELCO, S.p.A. mentioned above have been required from relevant  agencies as the applicable corporate documents are completed in Italy.

On account of the net assets received in the corporate restructuring process occurred on July 1, 2013, described in Note 1c), the individual information of the income statements at June 30, 2014 and 2013 is not comparable.

 

The individual quarterly information (Company) was prepared and is presented in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which comprise the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and CPC 21 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the Brazilian FASB (CPC), which are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), except for investments in subsidiaries, which are measured by the equity method, while for IFRS purposes it would be measured at cost or fair value.

 

The consolidated quarterly information (Consolidated) was prepared and is presented in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the IASB, and CVM rules.

 

At the meeting held on July 21, 2014, the Executive Board authorized the issue of this quarterly information, which was ratified by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on July 29, 2014.

 

This Quarterly Information (ITR) was prepared in accordance with accounting principles, practices and criteria consistent with those adopted in the preparation of the financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2013, in addition to the new pronouncements, interpretations and amendments that became effective from January 1, 2014, as follows:

 

IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 Investment Entities These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014, providing an exception to the consolidation requirements for a reporting entity that meets the definition of an investment entity under IFRS 10. This exception requires an investment entity to account for its investments in subsidiaries at fair value in P&L.  The application of these amendments does not entail impacts on the Company’s financial position, given that its subsidiary is not qualified as an investment entity.

 

IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities This amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and clarifies the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts” and the criteria that would qualify for settlement the settlement mechanisms of clearing house systems that are not simultaneous.  The application of this amendment does not entail significant impacts on the Company’s financial position.

 

IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non Financial Assets (Impairment of Assets): This amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and eliminates unintended consequences of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement on disclosures required by IAS 36. In addition, these amendments require the disclosure of recoverable amounts of assets or Cash Generating Units (CGU) for which a provision for impairment has been recognized over the period. The application of this amendment does not impact the Company’s disclosures.

 

IAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting This amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and introduces a relief regarding discontinuance of hedge accounting where a derivative, which is designated as hedging instrument, is novated if specific conditions are met. The application of this amendment does not entail significant impacts on the Company’s financial position.

IFRIC 21 Levies This amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and provides guidance on when to recognize a liability for a tax or levy when the obligating event occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability is recognized before the specified minimum threshold is reached. The application of this standard does not entail significant impacts on the Company’s financial position.

 

On the preparation date of this quarterly information, the following IFRS amendments had been published; however, their application was not compulsory:

 

IFRS 2 Share Based Payments These amendments changed the settings relating to the purchase conditions and its implementation is effective beginning on or after July 1, 2014. The Company does not believe that these amendments may significantly impact its financial position.

 

IFRS 3 Business Combination The amendments changed the accounting for contingent consideration in a business combination. Contingent consideration on acquisition of a business that is not classified as equity is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, whether or not included in the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.  These changes are effective for new business combinations after July 1, 2014. The Company consider the application of these changes to any business combinations that occur beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

 

IFRS 8 Operating Segments These amendments are related to the aggregation of operating segments, which can be combined / aggregated whether they are in accordance with the criteria of the rule, in other words, if the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in other qualitative aspects. If they are combined, the entity shall disclose the economic characteristics used to assess whether the segments are similar. These amendments will become effective beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Considering the fact that the Company and its subsidiary operate in a sole operating segment, significant impact on their financial position is not expected.

 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: IFRS 9, as issued, is the first step in IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined by IAS 39. Initially, the pronouncement would become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, but Amendments to IFRS 9: Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in December 2011, postponed the effective date of IFRS 9 to January 1, 2018. In the subsequent steps, IASB will tackle issues such as hedge accounting and provision for impairment of financial assets. Adoption of the first step of IFRS 9 will affect the classification and measurement of the Company’s financial assets, but will have no impact on the classification and measurement of its financial liabilities. The Company will quantify such effects together with the effects from other phases of IASB’s project once the final consolidated standard is issued.

 

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement: This amendment is related to the application of the exception to financial assets portfolio, financial liabilities and other contracts.  It will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. The Company will evaluate the effect of the application on new transactions after July 1, 2014.

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets: The amendments to IAS 16.35 (a) and IAS 38.80 (a) clarifies that a revaluation can be made as follows: i) adjust the gross carrying amount of the asset at market value or, ii) determine the market value and adjust the gross carrying amount proportionally, so that the resulting carrying amount is equal to the market value.  IASB also clarified that the accumulated depreciation / amortization is the difference between the gross carrying amount and the book value of the asset (i.e. gross carrying amount - accumulated depreciation / amortization = book value). The amendment to IAS 16.35 (b) and IAS 38.80 (b) clarifies that the accumulated depreciation / amortization is eliminated so that the gross carrying amount and the book value is equal to market value. These amendments will become effective beginning on or after 1 July 2014 retrospectively.  Implementation of these amendments has no impact on the financial or operating positions of the Company at the time. Whereas the reassessment of property and equipment and intangible assets is not allowed in Brazil, the Company does not expect impact on its financial position.

 

IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures: The amendment clarifies that an entity's providing management services to other entity that provides key management personnel to provide management services is a subject relating to related party disclosures.  In addition, an entity that uses a management entity shall disclose the expenses incurred by management services.  The amendments will become effective beginning on or after 1 July 2014 retrospectively.  The Company does not expect these amendments significantly impact its financial position.

 

IAS 40 Investment Property: This amendment clarifies the relationship between the definitions of IFRS 3 and IAS 40 on the classification of the investment property or owner-occupied property.  The description of ancillary services in IAS 40 that differentiates between investment properties and owner-occupied property (IFRS 3) is used to determine whether the transaction is a purchase of an asset or a business combination. This amendment will become effective beginning on or after 1 July 2014 prospectively.  The Company will evaluate any possible impact in case of transactions occur after the effective date.

 

The Company does not early adopt any pronouncement, interpretation or amendment that has been issued, whose application is not compulsory.
