The Board of Directors
Item 2
Letter from the Chairman of the Board
To the shareholders:
In my capacity as Chairman of the Board of Telefonica del Peru S.A.A., I am pleased to present to you the 2004 Annual Report.
In making a balance of 2004, besides the figures reported herein, we cannot leave unmentioned the difficulties experienced by our organization as well as its admirable capacity of response.
As the public is aware, in the year in reference Telefonica del Peru has faced a growing competitive and regulatory pressure, which has tested not only the capacity of the company’s management, but also the sustainability and value of the business.
In 2004, the country has shown healthy macroeconomic indicators; however, alike other companies, the company has been affected by the politization of the public agenda.
Within this context, Telefonica del Peru has continued betting on providing telecommunications services to facilitate contact between the population and productive sectors, in order to offer a better quality of life. Worth highlighting is that in spite of the above-mentioned difficulties, the company has been able to expand its services to some sectors, taking communications to those who need them.
It should be pointed out that the company could have made more and greater investments, as contemplated in the project entitled “Peru 2008: Prepared for the Information Society”. This project considered a fair balance between the rate reduction for clients and the expansion of services to those who still lack them; however, this balance was altered by the establishment of a productivity factor, which is by far the highest in the world: 10.07% per year, which has evidently entailed a substantial reduction the company’s investment capacity for the next few years.
Item 2
Business management
Our business strategy was successfully applied. This is evidenced by the growth in fixed telephony lines, which totaled 2.2 million lines in service. In 2004, over 400 thousand lines were sold, establishing a historical milestone.
Coupled with the above is a major growth in the marketing of internet access, since broad band lines exceeded 200 thousand, doubling the figure recorded last year. Public telephony and the rural plant also grew 12% and 13%, respectively.
Two technological developments worth noting occurred in this field: (i) the gradual migration of the rural plant to a satellite system, aimed at putting a brake on theft and vandalism of remote equipment, and (ii) the start-up of a pilot rural internet service named Ll@qtared or “people’s network”, which obtained the “Business Creativity” award.
In addition, the company began a deep commercial transformation, which entails an internal cultural change, in line with the concerns of the Telefonica Group addressed to achieve leadership based on the client’s trust. The program named “Commitment to the Client” comprises several activities aimed at placing the client in the center of attention, such as corrective measures and innovation, which have already produced the first results by notoriously increasing the clients’ satisfaction.
Results
The company’s revenues of the year in reference stood at S/. 3.459 billion, 4.3% less than in 2003, due to the smaller revenues from local telephony, long-distance and public and rural telephony, which could not be offset by the better results obtained in other businesses.
Item 2
It is worth highlighting that revenues from local telephony dropped 7.6% as a result of the application of the productivity factor fixed by OSIPTEL, as well as by the new conditions for use that regulate the business. The results were also affected by the growth of limited consumption and pre-paid lines. On the other hand, long-distance revenues dropped 15.7% due to the increased competition on the market.
Operating expenses decreased 11% in respect of the previous year, reaching S/. 2.610 billion. It is worth highlighting that personnel expenses experienced a 9.% reduction during the same year.
The EBITDA totaled S/. 1.870 billion, which entailed a 7.7% increase in respect of the previous year. This evidences the huge internal effort made to control expenses and offset the smaller revenues largely resulting from an increased rate reduction ordered by the regulatory body starting in September 2004.
Operating profits amounted to S/. 849 million, representing a 24% improvement in respect of the previous year, attributable to less management fee expenses, depreciation and amortization, provisions and personnel expenses. On the other hand, in 2004 non-operating losses dropped from S/.401 million to S/. 319 million. Thus, the net result shifted from S/. 23 million to S/. 51 million in 2004.
In the corporate aspect and in order to concentrate trading in the Lima Stock Exchange, the company delisted the American Depositary Shares (ADS) corresponding to class B shares from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Outlook
2005 appears as a year with diverse risks and uncertainties. The company’s operations and profitability were affected in 2004 by political and regulatory decisions, the consequences of which will prevail throughout 2005. Telefonica del Peru will use all resources available to it in order to address these consequences. The bridge towards the client has been laid and the company will continue with its efforts to improve the quality of its services as well as the relationship with its clients.
Item 2
Finally, I wish to thank the shareholders and the clients for the trust placed on our company, as well as the financial community which has always supported us. I would like to express my special gratitude to all the people who work in Telefonica del Peru for their valuable contribution to address the challenges imposed upon us, enabling us to overcome them.

Years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Telefónica del Perú S.A.A.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Telefónica del Perú S.A.A. (a telecommunications company established in Peru, subsidiary of Telefónica, S.A. from Spain,) and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related profit and loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flow statements for the years then ended on those dates. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Peru. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the above-referred financial statements, which have been prepared for the purposes set forth in the following paragraph, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Telefonica del Peru S.A.A. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in keeping with accounting principles generally accepted in Peru.
The individual financial statements of Telefonica del Peru S.A.A. have been prepared in compliance with the legal requirements in force in Peru on the presentation of financial information and reflect the investments in its subsidiaries at the value of the equity interest at December 2004 and 2003 and not on a consolidated basis. These financial statements must be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are submitted separately, and in respect of which we issued our opinion on February 8, 2005.

2. | CONCESSION CONTRACT AND RATES |
CONCESSION CONTRACT
The Company and the Peruvian State, represented by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) have entered into Concession Contracts to provide: (i) Carrier and Local Telephony Services in Lima department and Callao Constitutional Province and (ii) Carrier, Local Telephony and National and International Long-distance Services in the Republic of Peru. These contracts have the nature of law and were approved by Supreme Decree No. 11-94-TCC, dated May 13, 1994; and subsequently amended by Supreme Decree No. 21-98-MTC dated August 4, 1998 and Ministerial Resolutions No. 272-99-MTC/15.03 and No.157-2001-MTC/15.03.
Taking into account the above-mentioned amendments, the Concession Contracts establish the following:
| (a) | The services granted in concession to the Company are fixed local telephony, public telephony, local carrier service and both domestic and international long-distance carrier services, as well as telex and telegraphy services. |
| (b) | The concession term is twenty (20) years, which may be renewed gradually by the MTC at the Company’s request for periods of up to five (5) additional years to the concession term in each renewal. The renewal of the concessions may be requested by the Company to the MTC upon the expiration of each five (5)-year period counted from the effective date of the Concession Contracts, provided the total renewal period does not exceed twenty (20) years. |
Through Ministerial Resolution No. 272-99-MTC/15.03 dated June 23, 1999, the Peruvian State granted the first gradual renewal of the concession term for an additional five (5)-year period, extending the concession term until 2019.
Pursuant to the Concession Contracts, in December 2003 the Company filed an application with the MTC for a second gradual renewal of the term for an additional five years. In June 2004, after receiving the evaluation report prepared by OSIPTEL and the comments from the interested parties, the MTC announced its preliminary decision of not granting the requested renewal. The Company timely and adequately filed its objections to the contents of the referred report. At the date of this report, the final decision of the MTC is pending.
| (c) | Fixed local telephony services, and domestic and international long-distance carrier telephony services are subject to a capped rate system. |
| (d) | The Company is obliged to enter into interconnection agreements with other companies engaged in providing carrier and final services, as well as with those providing telecommunications carrier services. The resulting agreements must be submitted for the approval of the Supervisory Board for Private Telecommunications Investments, (OSIPTEL). |
| (e) | The Company is obliged to comply, among others, with quality and expansion goals in connection with fixed local and national and international long-distance telephony. At the date of preparation of the financial statements, the Peruvian State had recognized that all the goals assigned to the Company had been satisfactorily fulfilled. |

Item 4
RATES
In March, 2003 the Company modified the rate plans offered, which was approved by OSIPTEL. In this way, the Company from offering only 4 plans it started to offer 11, through a combination of fixed monthly rate, minute or second pricing and free units, among others, offering a wide range of prices available according to the needs of each client.
As a result of the changes referred to in the foregoing paragraph, at December 31, 2003, there were about 550 thousand plan migrations, and sales of approximately 204 thousand new plans were made. In 2004, 130 thousand additional migrations occurred.
The rates charged for fixed telephony and long-distance service rates are adjusted on a quarterly basis, according to service baskets, in line with a price cap formula, established on the basis of the combination of the inflation and a productivity factor. Pursuant to the Concession Contracts, the value of the productivity factor must be revised every three years. The first productivity factor, effective between September 2001 and August 2004, was fixed by OSIPTEL at -6% per year.
During the first quarter of 2004 the productivity factor was revised by OSIPTEL. As a result of the corresponding process, the regulatory body fixed said factor at –10.07% per year for installation service charges, monthly rent and local calls; and at –7.80% per year for national and international long-distance services.
The Company filed a Reconsideration Appeal against OSIPTEL’s decision, requesting the regulatory body to revise the calculation of the productivity factor, reducing its value. The Company pointed out that by including in the Productivity Factor Calculation a variable referred to as economic operation surplus, it generated an overestimation of the referred value. Since the Appeal was overruled, the Company is entitled to resort to arbitration. To date, Company Management is evaluating the different actions that it could take.
3. | OPENING OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS MARKET TO COMPETITION |
Supreme Decree No. 20-98-MTC approved the policy that outlines the opening of the telecommunications market to competition.
Through Board of Director’s Resolution No. 001-98-CD/OSIPTEL dated January 16, 1998, the Interconnection Regulations were approved in order to ensure the free and fair competition of operators in the telecommunications market, within the framework of the international commitments to which Peru is a party. The above Resolution was later complemented by several provisions, currently assembled in the Single Revised Text of Interconnection Rules, approved by Resolution No. 043-2003-CD/OSIPTEL. The Peruvian legislation provides that operators of public telecommunications services cannot not deny interconnection to other operators, outlines the principles of the interconnection and specifies the conditions for the signing of interconnection contracts as well as for the issuance of interconnection orders by the regulatory body in the absence of an agreement between the parties.
11
The operators of networks or interconnected services will pay each other interconnection charges, which include the interconnection costs, contributions to the total costs of the local service provider, and a reasonable profit margin. OSIPTEL is legally authorized to fix capped charges through resolutions of a general nature. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company is interconnected to 29 active operators.
The maximum average interconnection charge for the completion of calls in the local fixed network was US$0.01208 and per minute, priced by the second, at December 31, 2004 and 2003.
4. | MAIN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES |
The main accounting principles and practices used by the Company are described below:
| (a) | Basis of preparation and presentation |
The accompanying financial statements were prepared based on the accounting records of the Company, which are carried at the nominal values of the transaction’s date and include the adjustment to reflect the effect of the changes in the Nation-wide Wholesale Price Index (IPM), applying the Methodology of Integral Adjustment of the Financial Statements for Inflation, approved by the Resolutions issued by the Accounting Standards Council (CNC) No. 002-90-EF/93.01 and No. 003-93-EF/93.01. The net result for exposure to inflation resulting from this adjustment is reflected in the profit and loss statement. According to the above-mentioned index, inflation was 4.9 percent in 2004 (2.0 percent in 2003).
The adjustment has been made in accordance with the methodology approved by the CNC. That is (a) non-monetary entries of the financial statements have been adjusted, (b) monetary entries and entries in foreign currency have not been adjusted because they are expressed in new soles with purchasing power at the date of the balance sheet, and (c) the result for exposure to inflation (REI) is included in the profit and loss statement.
The financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Peru, which comprise the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the statements of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), authorized by the Accounting Standards Council (CNC). At December 31, 2003, the CNC has authorized IAS 1 to 41, and SIC 1 to 33, which are currently in force in Peru.
In April 2002, the International Account Standards Board (IASB) approved the publication of the introduction of the International Financing Reporting Standards (IFRS), which established that: whenever the term IFRS is used, it will include the standards and interpretations approved by the IASB, the international accounting standards (IAS) and the SIC interpretations issued by prior Entities. To date, the IASB is introducing certain modifications and issuing new versions of the IAS in replacement of those previously used; it is also issuing various IFRS. At an international level, the referred modifications and some revised versions of the IAS are in force, or will go into effect together with the IFRS starting in January 2005. These modifications, as well as the new standards issued, will be applicable in Peru when they are made official by the
12
CNC. To date, Management considers that it is not possible to determine the effect that such changes could have on the Company’s financial statements, since the time of their approval is unknown.
In the preparation and presentation of the financial statements at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company has complied with the IAS and SIC in force in Peru that are applicable to it.
On the other hand, through Resolution No. 031-2004-EF/93.01 dated May 11, 2004 issued by the Accounting Standards Council, and Law No. 28394 dated November 22, 2002, the adjustment of financial statements due to inflation, both for accounting and tax purposes, has been suspended starting in financial year 2005. Both rules contemplate that the final balances adjusted by inflation at December 31, 2004, must be considered as initial historical balances starting on January 1, 2005.
The preparation of the financial statements requires Management to make estimates that could affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported, the disclosure of asset and liability contingencies at the date of the balance sheets, and the disclosure of important events included in the notes to the financial statements; as well as the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the current period. Final outcomes could vary from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the accompanying financial statements relate to the provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, provision for investment fluctuation, determination of the reasonable value of investments available for sale, provision for devaluation of fixed assets and intangibles, deferred assets and liabilities for income tax and workers’ profit sharing and the provision for miscellaneous accounts payable.
| (b) | Assets and liabilities in foreign currency |
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are stated in local currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. The gains and losses related to transactions in foreign currency are recorded in the profit and loss statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities presented in the balance sheet mainly include cash and banks, negotiable securities (trust fund), commercial accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related companies, other accounts receivable, investments and all liabilities except for deferred income tax and workers’ profit sharing. The accounting principles on recognition and measurement of these entries are disclosed in the respective accounting policies described in this note.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the underlying contractual arrangement that originated them. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments registered as equity are registered directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company has the legal right to offset them and Management intends to settle them either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
13
The Company has exposure to market risks resulting from changes in interest rates and exchange rates, and uses financial derivatives to partially mitigate these risks. When contracts are qualified as hedging, the accounting of the financial instruments is symmetric to the accounting of the hedged entries. Therefore, the changes in the fair value of the hedging are included in the profit and loss statement in the same period in which the gains and losses from the hedged entry are recognized.
On the other hand, the Company uses exchange rate forward contracts and foreign currency swaps to mitigate exposure to exchange risk. The forwards and swaps used are for hedging and macro-hedging. The forward gains and losses used for hedging purposes are recorded using an accrual criterion similar to that used in the recording of the result of the hedged transaction. In the case of derivatives used for macro-hedging, these are recorded at their estimated market value, with the gains and losses being recognized in the results for the period during which they are determined.
| (d) | Negotiable Securities (Trust fund) |
These are debt instruments of the United States of America Treasury that guarantee the securitization transaction explained in note 19 (b). They are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Adjustments resulting from the valuation of these investments are included in the profit and loss statement. Interest received from the negotiable securities is reported as financial income. On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the cost is included in the item of financial income and expenses, as appropriate, in the profit and loss statement.
| (e) | Commercial accounts receivable |
Commercial account receivable are recorded as described in paragraph (m).
The provision for doubtful accounts is charged to income and is determined for the mass customers portfolio based upon the aging of the accounts receivables overdue in over four months as from the invoicing date; and on the basis of specific evaluations in the case of non-mass customers. The provision is recorded in the general expenses item of the profit and loss statement. In Management’s opinion, this procedure allows reasonably estimating the provision for doubtful accounts, considering the clients’ characteristics in Peru.
| (f) | Materials and supplies |
Materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realization value.
Cost is determined by using the average-cost method.
Materials and supplies in transit are recorded at their specific purchase cost.
The provision for impairment is determined considering an analysis of the turnover of materials and supplies, and is charged to results of the year when Management determines the need for said provision.
14
Investments correspond to interest held in related companies and to interest held in international telecommunications organizations and other investments. Investments in subsidiaries are registered at their equity interest value. When the participation in the losses of the subsidiaries is higher than the registered value of the investment, the Company recognizes a liability for said amount, which is presented in the entry “Other accounts payable” of the balance sheet.
Investments in international telecommunications organizations are considered as investments available for sale and are registered at their reasonable value; in accordance with IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, recognized by the CNC and in force in Peru at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the gain or loss of a financial asset available for sale is registered in the results of the year in which it arose and is presented in the entry “Other income and expenses” of the profit and loss statement.
The other investments corresponding to non-consolidated interest held in related companies are registered at cost, less the provision for losses in the value estimated to be permanent.
| (h) | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment of the value of these assets (see item (ñ)). Certain assets originally belonging to ENTEL Peru were revalued according to market values determined by independent experts at December 31, 1992. The higher value arising from this revaluation was credited to shareholders’ equity.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| | |
| | Years
|
Buildings and other constructions | | 33 |
Telephone plant | | 10, 15 and 20 |
Equipment | | 5 and 10 |
Vehicles | | 5 |
Furniture and fixtures | | 10 |
The useful life and the depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from entries of property, plant and equipment.
Disbursement occurring after a fixed asset has been put into use are capitalized as an additional cost of this asset when it is probable that such disbursement will result in future economic benefits higher than the normal performance originally evaluated for said asset. Disbursements for maintenance and repairs are recognized as an expense of the year in which they are incurred.
Payroll and management costs related to the construction of the telephone plant are capitalized as part of the cost of the related assets. Construction in progress represents telephone plant and assets for data transmission under construction and is registered at
15
cost. This includes the cost of construction, plant and equipment and other direct costs; as well as the cost of important spare parts directly identified with specific assets. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and placed in operational use.
Leasing agreements are registered, by recording, at the beginning of the agreement, the assets and liabilities in the balance sheet at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the leasing installments. In calculating the present value of the leasing installments, which excludes the insurance cost, the discount factor used is the implicit interest rate in the leasing agreement. Initial direct costs are considered as part of the asset. Leasing payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the leasing term so as to produce a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Leasing gives rise to depreciation expenses for the asset as well as financing expenses for each accounting period. The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with that for other depreciable assets.
Intangible assets are registered initially at cost. An intangible asset is recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is mainly 5 years. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each year.
Represents the excess of acquisition cost of the subsidiary Telefónica Multimedia S.A.C. over the Company’s share in the fair value of the respective acquired net assets. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period.
A provision is recognized only when the Company has a present obligation (legal) as a result of a past event and it is probable that resources may be required to pay settle the obligation and a reliable estimate may be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed each period and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate then available at the date of the balance sheet.
When the effect of the value of money over time is important, the amount of the provision is the present value of the disbursements expected to be incurred to settle the obligation.
16
Possible contingencies are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed in notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
| (m) | Revenues, costs and expenses recognition |
Revenues for telephony services are recognized in the period in which the services are provided, as measured mainly by the minutes of traffic processed.
Fixed telephony and domestic and international long-distance services are recorded on a cyclical billing system. Services not billed from the closing day of the billing to the last day in the month, are included in the next cyclical billing and the corresponding estimate of income is recorded.
Revenues and costs from telephone line installation are recognized at the time the related contracts are signed; except for the “Popular Telephone” service, the installation revenues and costs of which are recognized over the contract term. Other income, costs and expenses are recognized as accrued independently of their realization, and are recorded in their corresponding periods.
| (n) | Income tax and workers’ profit sharing |
Income tax and workers’ profit sharing are determined in accordance with tax and legal provisions applicable in Peru. The income tax rate and worker’s profit sharing applicable to the Company is 30% and 10%, respectively. Additionally, deferred income tax and worker’s profit sharing are recognized using the balance sheet method. According to said method:
| • | | Deferred assets and liabilities are recognized in connection with the future tax effects of temporary differences, at the tax rate and workers’ profit sharing percentage, at which the Company expects to settle said taxes. |
| • | | The deferred assets are reduced, if necessary, in the amount of those tax benefits which, according to available evidence, are estimated as not realizable. |
Temporary differences are defined as any difference between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of an asset or liability that at some future date will be reversed, thereby resulting an income or expense for income tax and workers’ profit sharing.
Temporary differences are taxable or deductible when the related liability is settled or the related asset is recovered. A deferred tax liability or asset for income tax and workers’ profit sharing represents the amount of taxes payable or refundable in future years, respectively.
In accordance with the corresponding accounting standard, the Company determines its deferred tax based on the tax rate applicable to their non-distributed profits; any additional tax on profit distribution is recorded on the date on which such distribution is agreed.
In accordance with CONASEV (National Supervisory Commission of Companies and Securities) Resolution No. 110-99-EF/94.10, the Company chose to record over six years
17
on a straight-line basis starting 1999, the cumulative effect of the deferred tax liability at December 31, 1997, which was a deferred liability amounting to approximately S/.160,035,000 (values at December 31, 2004). At December 31, 2004 the outstanding balance pending registration of the aforementioned cumulate effect was fully registered and is shown in the “Cumulative Results” entry of the balance sheet. At December 31, 2003, a total of approximately S/.138,190,000 had been registered for this concept (values at December 31, 2004).
Periodically, or whenever events or economic changes occur indicating that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, Management reviews the long-term value of its assets basically of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill to verify that there is no impairment of these assets. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the profit and loss statement.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price or value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset the free market, while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit.
| (o) | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents shown in the cash flow statement consist of the cash and bank balance shown in the balance sheet.
Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding at the date of the balance sheet. Capital shares that may be issued or cancelled due to the capital restatement resulting from the adjustment for inflation of the financial statements are considered a division of shares and, therefore, for the determination of the weighted average number of shares, it has been considered as if they always were outstanding.
For management purposes, the Company is organized into four major operating businesses (fixed telephony, long-distance, equipment supply and other services) and two geographical areas (Lima and Provinces). The divisions are the basis upon which the Company reports its primary segment information. Financial information on business and geographical segments is presented in note 30.
18
Certain items in year 2003 financial statements have been reclassified to make them comparable to those of this year. In the opinion of Company’s Manager the amount thereof was not significant in relation to the financial statements considered as a whole.
5. | TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY |
Foreign currency transactions are carried out at free market exchange rates. At December 31, 2004, the weighted average free market exchange rate for U.S. dollar transactions, published by the SBS – Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros –(Superintendency of Banking and Insurance) was S/.3.289 for buying and S/.3.283 for selling (S/.3.461 and S/. 3.464 at December 31, 2003, respectively) per US$1.00.

| (b) | Corresponds mainly to seizures without judicial sentences executed by various municipalities in Lima and provinces, claiming, in most of the cases, the payment of licenses and fines for installation of external plant allegedly without municipal authorization.

The internal legal advisors of the Company consider these cases have been initiated illegally, infringing the right to defense of the Company, or that they lack the necessary legal grounds. In that sense, some of the coercive collections executed were declared illegal by several judicial instances. The Management continues the relevant legal actions and, by virtue of said pronouncements, estimates that the seizures will be declared illegal; then all the necessary actions will be initiated to recover the funds that have been seized. Also, their recoverability is being assessed. |

Item 4
| (a) | The Legal Stability Agreements entered into on May 16, 1994 between Entel Peru and CPT and the Peruvian Government, represented by the National Commission on Foreign Investment and Technology (CONITE), and applied to the Company during 10 years by virtue of the addendum signed on June 6, 1995, expired on December 31, 2003. |
| (b) | In line with the foregoing paragraph, in 2003, inclusive, the annual income tax of the Company was determined at a 30% rate, and based on financial statements adjusted to reflect the changes in the price levels, following the methodology established by Legislative Decree No. 627. In no event, the annual income tax should not be less than 2 percent of the total net assets of the Company (excluding the investments in shares in companies domiciled in Peru and the value of new plant and equipment in the year of their acquisition and in the subsequent year) Starting in 2004, the Company is subject to the current tax regime. In this sense, it has determined its income tax taking into account the provisions set forth in the Single Revised Text of said tax, approved by Supreme Decree No. 054-99-EF, amendments thereto and regulations thereunder; according to which the annual income tax of the Company is determined based on a 30% rate and taking into account the financial statements adjusted to reflect the effect of changes in the price level. The tax rate in 2003 and 2002 is 30 percent of taxable income, including the effect of exposure to inflation. |
Likewise, the total or partial profit distribution, is subject to a withholding rate of 4.1 percent of the amount distributed to non-domiciled shareholders, whether they are legal entities or individuals, and to individuals domiciled in the country.
| (c) | The 2000 to 2004 income tax and returns and value added tax returns from December 2000 to December 2004 are subject to audit by the tax authority. The 1997, 1998 and 1999 income tax returns and value added tax returns from January to December, 1997, 1998 and 1999 have been reviewed by the tax authority, see note 32(a). Currently, the tax authority is reviewing the Company’s 2000 and 2001 tax returns. |
The tax authority is entitled to review and, if necessary, adjust the income tax calculated by the Company as well as the monthly value added tax returns during the four years following the year of filing of the tax returns. Due to possible interpretations of current legislation by the tax administration, it is not possible to determine whether or not such reviews will result in tax liabilities for the Company. However, in Management and their legal advisors opinion, any additional tax assessment would not be significant for the financial statements at December 31, 2004 and 2003.
| (d) | Pursuant to Supreme Decree 013-93-TCC, which approved the Single Revised Text of the Telecommunications Law and Regulations thereunder, approved by |
39
Supreme Decree No. 027-2004-MTC, Telefonica del Peru S.A.A., in its capacity as concessionaire of telecommunications services, should pay the fees and rates set forth below, computed on all the different telecommunication services annual revenues invoiced and collected in the case of (d.2), on all the different telecommunication services under concession and/or authorization in the case of (d.3) below and only on the final and carrier telephony services in the case of (d.1):

For fiscal year 2003, due to the Legal Stability Agreement signed with the Peruvian State, the Company’s Management and its legal advisors are of the opinion that the transfer pricing regulations affect the Company only in respect to the VAT, and; estimate that at the date of the balance sheet, there are no significant liabilities in connection to this matter. For fiscal year 2004, due to the expiry of the Legal Stability Agreement signed with the Peruvian State, these rules, with regards to income tax, will be applicable to the Company as well; the management of the Company consider that correct adequacy actions have been taken. |

The Company is exposed to market risks in the normal course of its operations; nevertheless, Management establishes control policies for credit, liquidity, market, interest rates and foreign currency risks, based on its technical knowledge and experience.
Credit risk
Credit risk is controlled through the evaluation and analysis of individual transactions, for which purpose an evaluation is made on the basis of the age of the accounts receivable, which is used to estimate the necessary provision for doubtful accounts, see notes 4(e) and 8 (b). In addition, partial and full suspensions of the service are made to clients who have overdue accounts receivable over 120 days.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity is controlled through the matching of the maturities of assets and liabilities, by obtaining credit lines and/or by issuing marketable securities that allow the Company to develop its activities normally.
48
Foreign currency risk
Regarding foreign currency transactions, the most significant risk relates to the fact that a part of the loans have been obtained in U.S. dollars; therefore, a significant devaluation of the local currency would have an adverse effect in the fulfillment of such obligations, because most of the revenues are generated in new soles. Management monitors this risk through an analysis of Peruvian macro-economic indicators and, in its opinion, at date of this report, there are no factors that indicate that a significant devaluation of the Peruvian currency is likely to occur. Furthermore, in order to mitigate this risks, the Company carries out foreign exchange forward transactions and currency swaps, see note 5.
Interest rate risk
This risk has been reduced due to the credit rating of the Company and of the Telefónica Group, which allows obtaining competitive interest rates in local and international markets, reducing this risk.
Fair value of financial instruments
Accounting standards define a financial instrument as cash, evidence of property in an entity, or a contract whereby its is agreed to or imposed on an entity the right or the contractual obligation of delivering or receiving money or any other financial instrument. Fair value is the amount at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The best evidence of a fair value is its quoted market price, if available.
In the event quotations are not available, the fair value is estimated based on the quoted market price of a financial instrument with similar characteristics, on the present value of the expected cash flows, or on other appraisal techniques, all of which are significantly affected by the various assumptions used. In spite of the fact that Management uses its best judgment to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments, inherent weaknesses exist in any appraisal technique. Consequently, fair value could not be an approximation of net realizable value or of the value of liquidation.
A significant part of the assets and liabilities of the financial statements are short-term financial instruments, with less than a one-year maturity. The fair value of these financial instruments, with the exception of those for which an active market exists, is considered to be equivalent to the recorded value at the date of the balance sheet.
The methodologies and assumptions used depend on the terms and characteristic risks of the different financial instruments and include the following:
| • | | Cash and banks do not represent a significant credit or interest rate risk. Therefore, it has been assumed that their book values are representative of their fair values. |
| • | | Trust Fund investments (U.S. Treasury Papers) are stated at their estimated market value. |
49
Item 4
| • | | Due to the fact that accounts receivable are presented net from their provision for doubtful accounts and have a maturity of less than one-year, Management considers that their fair value does not differ significantly from their book value. |
| • | | Investments available for sale are shown at their fair value. For permanent investments with available market prices, the fair value has been determined based on such price. For those investments without available market price and considering that they are not marketable securities, Management has considered that their book value is similar to their fair value. |
| • | | In the case of liabilities that bear interest with a maturity of more than one year, the fair value was calculated using discounted cash flows at outstanding rates applicable to liabilities with similar characteristics. At December 31, 2004, the reasonable value and the book value of these liabilities amounts to S/.957,000,000 and S/.917,000,000, respectively (S/.1,355,000,000 and S/.1,282,000,000 at December 31, 2003, respectively). |
| • | | For financial liabilities that bear interest at variable and preferential rates, it has been assumed that their book value is the same as their market value. |
| • | | The fair value of derivatives is based on market valuations. |
Based on the criteria described above, Management considers that there are no significant differences between the book value and the fair value of the financial instruments presented in the financial statements.
In the normal course of its operations, the Company is subject to several tax, labor, administrative and regulatory claims, which are recorded according to accounting principles generally accepted in Peru, see note 4. The most significant contingencies at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are described below:
| (a) | To date, the assessments received from the tax authority are the following: |
| (i) | As a result of the audit of year 1998, on February 11, 2002 the Company was notified by SUNAT through several resolutions for the payment of income tax and value added tax, including fines and interest, for approximately S/.223,051,978 (at historical values of the date of the assessment). |
The Company filed a claim against those resolutions on the basis that they are not in accordance with legal rulings in force in Peru. To date, we are awaiting for SUNAT to issue a Resolution.
Management and its legal advisors consider that the results of this proceeding will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
50
Item 4
| (ii) | On December 24, 2003, SUNAT notified the Company through various resolutions for the additional payment to cover pre-payments of income tax, income tax withholdings applicable to non-domiciled taxpayers, and value added tax, corresponding to 1999. Said assessment, including fines and interest, amounts to approximately S/.213,751,359 (historical values at the date of the assessment ). |
The Company has appealed all said resolutions since, in its opinion, they do not agree with legal norms currently in force in Peru.
Management and its legal advisors consider the results of these proceedings will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
| (iii) | As a result of the audit made of year 1999, on December 23, 2004 the Company received an assessment for an alleged failure to pay the Annual Income Tax for said year. |
On January 20, 2005, the Company filed a claim appeal against said resolutions, since, in its opinion, in spite of being large amounts, the assessment is not in keeping with the tax rules in force in Peru.
Management and its legal advisors consider that the results of the proceedings will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
| (iv) | Likewise, on December 23, 2004 the company received several Determination Resolutions issued by SUNAT for payments on account of Income Tax, Income Tax Withholding applicable to the non-domiciled parties and Value Added Tax corresponding to year 2000. |
In spite that the assessment is for a large amount, the Company filed a claim appeal on January 20, 2005 on the grounds of inadmissibility.
Management and its legal advisors consider that the results of the proceedings will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
| (b) | At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company has several labor and civil lawsuits and administrative processes. Both, internal and independent legal advisors are conducting such lawsuits. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, Management and its legal advisors have deemed necessary, based on the available evidence at such dates, to record provisions to cover the risks of said contingencies, as set forth in note 4(l), against the results of years 2004 and 2002, respectively. |
In this sense, Management and its legal advisors, both internal and external, have been monitoring the different risks that affect the Company and consider that the provisions for contingencies recorded to date are sufficient to cover the identified business risks at December 31, 2004.

Item 7
2. | CONCESSION CONTRACTS AND RATES |
CONCESSION CONTRACTS
The Company and the Peruvian State, represented by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) have entered into Concession Contracts to provide: (i) Carrier and Local Telephony Services in Lima department and Callao Constitutional Province and (ii) Carrier, Local Telephony and National and International Long-distance Services in the Republic of Peru. These contracts have the nature of law and were approved by Supreme Decree No. 11-94-TCC, dated May 13, 1994; and subsequently amended by Supreme Decree No. 21-98-MTC dated August 4, 1998 and Ministerial Resolutions No. 272-99-MTC/15.03 and No.157-2001-MTC/15.03.
Taking into account the above-mentioned amendments, the Concession Contracts establish the following:
| (a) | The services granted in concession to the Company are fixed local telephony, public telephony, local carrier service and both domestic and international long-distance carrier services, as well as telex and telegraphy services. |
| (b) | The concession term is twenty (20) years, which may be renewed gradually by the MTC at the Company’s request for periods of up to five (5) additional years to the concession term in each renewal. The renewal of the concessions may be requested by the Company to the MTC upon the expiration of each five (5)-year period counted from the effective date of the Concession Contracts, provided the total renewal period does not exceed twenty (20) years. |
Through Ministerial Resolution No. 272-99-MTC/15.03 dated June 23, 1999, the Peruvian State granted the Company the first gradual renewal of the concession term for an additional five (5)-year period, extending the concession term until 2019.
Pursuant to the Concession Contracts, in December 2003 the Company filed an application with the MTC for a second gradual renewal of the term for an additional five years. In June 2004, after receiving the evaluation report prepared by OSIPTEL and the comments from the interested parties, the MTC announced its preliminary decision of not granting the requested renewal. The Company timely and adequately filed its objections to the contents of the referred report. At the date of this report, the final decision of the MTC is pending.
| (c) | Fixed local telephony services, and domestic and international long-distance carrier telephony services are subject to a capped rate system. |
| (d) | The Company is obliged to enter into interconnection agreements with other companies engaged in providing carrier and final services, as well as with those providing telecommunications carrier services. The resulting agreements must be submitted for the approval of the Supervisory Board for Private Telecommunications Investments, (OSIPTEL). |
11
| (e) | The Company is obliged to comply, among others, with quality and expansion goals in connection with fixed local and national and international long-distance telephony. At the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Peruvian State had recognized that all the goals assigned to the Company had been satisfactorily fulfilled. |
RATES
In March, 2003 the Company modified the rate plans offered, which was approved by OSIPTEL In this way, the Company from offering only 4 plans it started to offer 11, through a combination of fixed monthly rate, minute or second pricing and free units, among others, offering a wide range of prices available according to the needs of each client.
As a result of the changes referred to in the foregoing paragraph, at December 31, 2003, there were about 550 thousand plan migrations, and sales of approximately 204 thousand new plans were made. In 2004, 130 thousand additional migrations occurred.
The rates charged for fixed telephony and long-distance service rates are adjusted on a quarterly basis, according to service baskets, in line with a price cap formula, established on the basis of the combination of the inflation and a productivity factor. Pursuant to the Concession Contracts, the value of the productivity factor must be revised every three years. The first productivity factor, effective between September 2001 and August 2004, was fixed by OSIPTEL at -6% per year.
During the first quarter of 2004 the productivity factor was revised by OSIPTEL. As a result of the corresponding process, the regulatory body fixed said factor at –10.07% per year for installation service charges, monthly rent and local calls; and at
–7.80% per year for national and international long-distance services.
The Company filed a Reconsideration Appeal against OSIPTEL’s decision, requesting the regulatory body to revise the calculation of the productivity factor, reducing its value. The Company pointed out that by including in the Productivity Factor Calculation a variable referred to as economic operation surplus, it generated an overestimation of the referred value. Since the Appeal was overruled, the Company is entitled to resort to arbitration. To date, Company Management is evaluating the different actions that it could take.
3. | OPENING OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS MARKET TO COMPETITION |
Supreme Decree No. 20-98-MTC approved the policy that outlines the opening of the telecommunications market to competition.
Through Board of Director’s Resolution No. 001-98-CD/OSIPTEL dated January 16, 1998, the Interconnection Regulations were approved in order to ensure the free and fair competition of operators in the telecommunications market, within the framework of the international commitments to which Peru is a party. The above Resolution was later complemented by several provisions, currently assembled in the Single Revised Text of Interconnection Rules, approved by Resolution No. 043-2003-CD/OSIPTEL. The Peruvian legislation provides that operators of public telecommunications services cannot
12
not deny interconnection to other operators, outlines the principles of the interconnection and specifies the conditions for the signing of interconnection contracts as well as for the issuance of interconnection orders by the regulatory body in the absence of an agreement between the parties.
The operators of networks or interconnected services will pay each other interconnection charges, which include the interconnection costs, contributions to the total costs of the local service provider, and a reasonable profit margin. OSIPTEL is legally authorized to fix capped charges through resolutions of a general nature. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company is interconnected to 29 active operators.
The maximum average interconnection charge for the completion of calls in the local fixed network was US$0.01208 and per minute, priced by the second, at December 31, 2004 and 2003.
4. | MAIN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES |
The main accounting principles and practices used by the Telefonica del Peru S.A.A. and Subsidiaries are described below:
| (a) | Basis of preparation and presentation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the accounting records of Telefonica del Peru S.A.A. and Subsidiaries, which are carried at the nominal values of the transaction’s date and include the adjustment to reflect the effect of the changes in the Nation-wide Wholesale Price Index (IPM), applying the Methodology of Integral Adjustment of the Financial Statements for Inflation, approved by the Resolutions issued by the Accounting Standards Council (CNC) No. 002-90-EF/93.01 and No. 003-93-EF/93.01. The net result for exposure to inflation resulting from this adjustment is reflected in the consolidated profit and loss statement. According to the above-mentioned index, inflation was 4.9 percent in 2004 (2.0 percent in 2003).
The adjustment has been made in accordance with the methodology approved by the CNC; that is, (a) non-monetary entries of the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted, (b) monetary entries and entries in foreign currency have not been adjusted because they are expressed in new soles with purchasing power at the date of the consolidated balance sheet, and (c) the result for exposure to inflation (REI) is included in the consolidated profit and loss statement.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Peru, which comprise the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the statements of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), authorized by the Accounting Standards Council (CNC). At December 31, 2003, the CNC has authorized IAS 1 to 41, and SIC 1 to 33, which are currently in force in Peru.
In April 2002, the International Account Standards Board (IASB) approved the publication of the introduction of the International Financing Reporting Standards (IFRS), which established that: whenever the term IFRS is used, it will include the standards and interpretations approved by the IASB, the international accounting standards (IAS) and the SIC interpretations issued by prior entities. To date, the IASB is
13
introducing certain modifications and issuing new versions of the IAS in replacement of those previously used; it is also issuing various IFRS. At an international level, the referred modifications and some revised versions of the IAS are in force, or will go into effect together with the IFRS starting in January 2005. These modifications, as well as the new standards issued, will be applicable in Peru when they are made official by the CNC. To date, Management considers that it is not possible to determine the effect that such changes could have on the consolidated financial statements, since the time of their approval is unknown.
In the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company and Subsidiaries have complied with the IAS and SIC in force in Peru that are applicable to them.
On the other hand, through Resolution No. 031-2004-EF/93.01 dated May 11, 2004 issued by the Accounting Standards Council, and Law No. 28394 dated November 22, 2002, the adjustment of financial statements due to inflation, both for accounting and tax purposes, has been suspended starting in financial year 2005. Both rules contemplate that the final balances adjusted by inflation at December 31, 2004, must be considered as initial historical balances starting on January 1, 2005.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires Management to make estimates that could affect the amount of consolidated assets and liabilities reported, the disclosure of asset and liability contingencies at the date of the consolidated balance sheet, and the disclosure of important events included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements; as well as the amounts of consolidated revenues and expenses reported during the current period. Final outcomes could vary from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to the provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, provision for investment fluctuation, determination of the reasonable value of investments available for sale, provision for devaluation of fixed assets and intangibles, deferred assets and liabilities for income tax and workers’ profit sharing and the provision for miscellaneous accounts payable.
| (b) | Consolidation Principles |
The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2004 and 2003 include the financial statements of Telefónica del Perú S.A.A. and those of. Subsidiaries are those over which the Company exerts control and are the same ones described in note 1.
All significant accounts and transactions between these companies, including unrealized profits and losses have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events. The minority interest resulting from the consolidation process is not material for the consolidated financial statements.
As stated in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in November 2004 the Company acquired 99.00 of the shares of stock of Antena 3 Producciones. The
14
balance of assets and liabilities incorporated to the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been considered as a addition of the year and are not material taking into account the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The included interest and expenses correspond to November and December of 2004 and are neither material taking into account the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
| (c) | Assets and liabilities in foreign currency |
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are stated in local currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the consolidated balance sheet. The gains and losses related to transactions in foreign currency are recorded in the consolidated profit and loss statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities presented in the consolidated balance sheet mainly include cash and banks, negotiable securities (trust fund), commercial accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related companies, other accounts receivable, investments and all liabilities except for deferred income tax and workers’ profit sharing. The accounting principles on recognition and measurement of these entries are disclosed in the respective accounting policies described in this note.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the underlying contractual arrangement that originated them. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments registered as equity are registered directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company and its Subsidiaries have the legal right to offset them and Management intends to settle them either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company has exposure to market risks resulting from changes in interest rates and exchange rates, and uses financial derivatives to partially mitigate these risks. When contracts are qualified as hedging, the accounting of the financial instruments is symmetric to the accounting of the hedged entries. Therefore, the changes in the fair value of the hedging are included in the consolidated profit and loss statement in the same period in which the gains and losses from the hedged entry are recognized.
On the other hand, the Company uses exchange rate forward contracts and foreign currency swaps to mitigate exposure to exchange risk. The forwards and swaps used are for hedging and macro-hedging. The forward gains and losses used for hedging purposes are recorded using an accrual criterion similar to that used in the recording of the result of the hedged transaction. In the case of derivatives used for macro-hedging, these are recorded at their estimated market value, with the gains and losses being recognized in the results for the period during which they are determined.
15
| (e) | Negotiable Securities (Trust fund) |
These are debt instruments of the United States of America Treasury that guarantee the securitization transaction explained in note 19 (b). They are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Adjustments resulting from the valuation of these investments are included in the consolidated profit and loss statement. Interest received from the negotiable securities is reported as financial income. On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the cost is included in the item of financial income and expenses, as appropriate, in the consolidated profit and loss statement.
| (f) | Commercial accounts receivable |
Commercial account receivable are recorded as described in paragraph (n).
The provision for doubtful accounts is charged to income and is determined for the mass customers portfolio based upon the aging of the accounts receivables overdue in over four months as from the invoicing date; and on the basis of specific evaluations in the case of non-mass customers. The provision is recorded in the general expenses item of the consolidated profit and loss statement. In Management’s opinion, this procedure allows reasonably estimating the provision for doubtful accounts, considering the clients’ characteristics in Peru.
| (g) | Materials and supplies |
Materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realization value.
Cost is determined by using the average-cost method.
Materials and supplies in transit are recorded at their specific purchase cost.
The provision for impairment is determined considering an analysis of the turnover of materials and supplies, and is charged to results of the year when Management determines the need for said provision.
Investments in international telecommunications organizations are considered as investments available for sale and are registered at their reasonable value; in accordance with IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, recognized by the CNC and in force in Peru at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the gain or loss of a financial asset available for sale is registered in the results of the year in which it arose and is presented in the entry “Other income and expenses” of the profit and loss statement.
The other investments corresponding to non-consolidated interest held in related companies are registered at cost, less the provision for losses in the value estimated to be permanent.
| (i) | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment of the value of these assets (see item (p)). Certain assets originally belonging
16
to ENTEL Peru were revalued according to market values determined by independent experts at December 31, 1992. The higher value arising from this revaluation was credited to shareholders’ equity.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| | |
| | Years
|
Buildings and other constructions | | 33 |
Telephone plant | | 5, 10, 15 and 20 |
Equipment | | 5 and 10 |
Vehicles | | 5 |
Furniture and fixtures | | 10 |
The useful life and the depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from entries of property, plant and equipment.
Disbursement occurring after a fixed asset has been put into use are capitalized as an additional cost of this asset when it is probable that such disbursement will result in future economic benefits higher than the normal performance originally evaluated for said asset. Disbursements for maintenance and repairs are recognized as an expense of the year in which they are incurred.
Payroll and management costs related to the construction of the telephone plant are capitalized as part of the cost of the related assets. Construction in progress represents telephone plant and assets for data transmission under construction and is registered at cost. This includes the cost of construction, plant and equipment and other direct costs; as well as the cost of important spare parts directly identified with specific assets. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and placed in operational use.
Leasing agreements are registered, by recording, at the beginning of the agreement, the assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the leasing installments. In calculating the present value of the leasing installments, which excludes the insurance cost, the discount factor used is the implicit interest rate in the leasing agreement. Initial direct costs are considered as part of the asset. Leasing payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the leasing term so as to produce a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Leasing gives rise to depreciation expenses for the asset as well as financing expenses for each accounting period. The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with that for other depreciable assets.
17
Intangible assets are registered initially at cost. An intangible asset is recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and its Subsidiaries and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any cumulative loss resulting from impairment (see item (p)). Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is mainly 5 years. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each year.
Represents the excess of acquisition cost of the subsidiary Telefónica Multimedia S.A.C. over the Telefonica del Peru S.A.A. share in the fair value of the acquired net assets. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period.
A provision is recognized only when the Company and its Subsidiaries have a present obligation (legal) as a result of a past event and it is probable that resources may be required to pay settle the obligation and a reliable estimate may be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed each period and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate then available at the date of the consolidated balance sheet.
When the effect of the value of money over time is important, the amount of the provision is the present value of the disbursements expected to be incurred to settle the obligation.
Possible contingencies are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed in notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
| (n) | Revenues, costs and expenses recognition |
Revenues from telephony services are recognized in the period in which the services are provided, as measured mainly by the minutes of traffic processed.
Fixed telephony and domestic and international long-distance services are recorded on a cyclical billing system. Services not billed from the closing day of the billing to the last day in the month, are included in the next cyclical billing and the corresponding estimate of income is recorded.
Revenues and costs from telephone line installation are recognized at the time the related contracts are signed; except for the “Popular Telephone” service, the installation revenues and costs of which are recognized over the contract term. Other income, costs and expenses are recognized as accrued independently of their realization, and are recorded in their corresponding periods.
18
| (o) | Income tax and workers’ profit sharing |
Income tax and workers’ profit sharing are determined in accordance with tax and legal provisions applicable in Peru. The income tax rate and worker’s profit sharing applicable to the Company and its Subsidiaries are 30% and 10%, respectively. Additionally, deferred income tax and worker’s profit sharing are recognized using the balance sheet method. According to said method:
| • | | Deferred assets and liabilities are recognized in connection with the future tax effects of temporary differences, at the tax rate and workers’ profit sharing percentage, at which the Company and its Subsidiaries expect to settle said taxes. |
| • | | The deferred assets are reduced, if necessary, in the amount of those tax benefits which, according to available evidence, are estimated as not realizable. |
Temporary differences are defined as any difference between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of an asset or liability that at some future date will be reversed, thereby resulting an income or expense for income tax and workers’ profit sharing.
Temporary differences are taxable or deductible when the related liability is settled or the related asset is recovered. A deferred tax liability or asset for income tax and workers’ profit sharing represents the amount of taxes payable or refundable in future years, respectively.
In accordance with the corresponding accounting standard, the deferred tax and profit sharing are determined on the basis of the tax rate applicable to their non-distributed profits and the workers participating interest percentage; recognizing any additional tax on profit distribution on the date on which the liabilities for said concept are recognized.
On the other hand, in accordance with CONASEV (National Supervisory Commission of Companies and Securities) Resolution No. 110-99-EF/94.10, the Company chose to record over six years on a straight-line basis starting 1999, the cumulative effect of the deferred tax liability at December 31, 1997, which was a deferred liability amounting to approximately S/.160,035,000 (values at December 31, 2004). At December 31, 2004 the outstanding balance pending registration of the aforementioned cumulate effect was fully registered and is shown in the “Cumulative Results” entry of the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2003, a total of approximately S/.138,190,000 had been registered for this concept (values at December 31, 2004).
Periodically, or whenever events or economic changes occur indicating that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, Management reviews the long-term value of its assets basically of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill to verify that there is no impairment of these assets. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated profit and loss statement.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price or value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset the free market, while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
19
continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit.
| (q) | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents shown in the consolidated cash flow statement consist of the cash and bank balance shown in the consolidated balance sheet.
Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding at the date of the consolidated balance sheet. Capital shares that may be issued or cancelled due to the capital restatement resulting from the adjustment for inflation of the consolidated financial statements are considered a division of shares and, therefore, for the determination of the weighted average number of shares, it has been considered as if they always were outstanding.
For management purposes, the Company and its Subsidiaries are organized into five businesses (fixed telephony, long-distance, cable television, equipment supply and other services) and two geographical areas (Lima and Provinces). Said divisions are the basis upon which the Company and its Subsidiaries report their primary segment information. Financial information on business and geographical segments is presented in note 30.
Certain items in year 2003 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to make them comparable to those of this year. In the opinion of Company’s Management the amount thereof was not significant in relation to the consolidated financial statements considered as a whole.
5. | TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY |
Foreign currency transactions are carried out at free market exchange rates. At December 31, 2004, the weighted average free market exchange rate for U.S. dollar transactions, published by the SBS – Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros –(Superintendency of Banking and Insurance) was S/.3.289 for buying and S/.3.283 for selling (S/.3.461 and S/. 3.464 at December 31, 2003, respectively) per US$1.00.
20
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company and Subsidiaries had the following assets and liabilities in foreign currency:
| | | | | | |

Before each election, the General Shareholders’ Meeting must decide the number of Directors for the corresponding period.
Class A-1 shares issued as a result of the privatization process of the Company grant their holders the right to elect the majority of the Board of Directors for each term. Class B shares, which correspond mainly and indirectly to the shares owned by Telefónica, S.A. and acquired as a result of the 2000 share exchange, elect as many Directors as necessary to complete the total number of Directors previously defined by the Shareholders’ Meeting, considering the number of Directors that should be elected by the A-1 shareholders and the members to be elected, if it were the case, by the class C Shareholders.

If this percentage is not reached at the moment of the election, one more Class B director will be elected in order to complete the number of board members.

The amount of the tax loss carry forward for each of the Subsidiaries is subject to the result of the investments referred to in item (d) below.
| (d) | The 2000 to 2004 income tax and returns and value added tax returns from December 2000 to December 2004 of the Company are subject to audit by the tax authority. The 1997, 1998 and 1999 income tax returns and value added tax returns from January to December, 1997, 1998 and 1999 have been reviewed by the tax authority, see note 32(a).

The Tax Adminstration is entitled to review and, if necessary, adjust the income tax calculated by the Company and by the Subsidiaries as well as the monthly value added tax returns during the four years following the year of filing of the tax returns. Due to possible interpretations of current legislation by the Tax Authority, it is not possible to determine whether or not such reviews will result in tax liabilities for the Company. However, in Management and their legal advisors opinion, any additional tax assessment would not be significant for the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

pricing, indicating the criteria and objective elements used. For fiscal year 2003, due to the Legal Stability Agreement signed with the Peruvian State, the Company’s Management and its legal advisors are of the opinion that the transfer pricing regulations affect the Company only in respect to the VAT, and; estimate that at the date of the balance sheet, there are no significant liabilities in connection to this matter. For fiscal year 2004, due to the expiry of the Legal Stability Agreement signed with the Peruvian State, these rules, with regards to income tax, will be applicable to the Company as well.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are exposed to market risks in the normal course of their operations; nevertheless, Management establishes control policies for credit, liquidity, market, interest rates and foreign currency risks, based on its technical knowledge and experience.
Credit risk
Credit risk is controlled through the evaluation and analysis of individual transactions, for which purpose an evaluation is made on the basis of the age of the accounts receivable, which is used to estimate the necessary provision for doubtful accounts, see notes 4(f) and 8 (b). In addition, partial and full suspensions of the service are made to clients who have overdue accounts receivable over 120 days.
47
Liquidity risk
Liquidity is controlled through the matching of the maturities of assets and liabilities, by obtaining credit lines and/or by issuing marketable securities that allow the Company to develop its activities normally.
Foreign currency risk
Regarding foreign currency transactions, the most significant risk relates to the fact that a part of the loans have been obtained in U.S. dollars; therefore, a significant devaluation of the local currency would have an adverse effect in the fulfillment of such obligations, because most of the revenues are generated in new soles. Management monitors this risk through an analysis of Peruvian macro-economic indicators and, in its opinion, at date of this report, there are no factors that indicate that a significant devaluation of the Peruvian currency is likely to occur. Furthermore, in order to mitigate this risks, the Company carries out foreign exchange forward transactions and currency swaps, see note 5.
Interest rate risk
This risk has been reduced due to the credit rating of the Company and its Subsidiaries and of the Telefónica Group, which allows obtaining competitive interest rates in local and international markets, reducing this risk.
Fair value of financial instruments
Accounting standards define a financial instrument as cash, evidence of property in an entity, or a contract whereby its is agreed to or imposed on an entity the right or the contractual obligation of delivering or receiving money or any other financial instrument. Fair value is the amount at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The best evidence of a fair value is its quoted market price, if available.
In the event quotations are not available, the fair value is estimated based on the quoted market price of a financial instrument with similar characteristics, on the present value of the expected cash flows, or on other appraisal techniques, all of which are significantly affected by the various assumptions used. In spite of the fact that Management uses its best judgment to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments, inherent weaknesses exist in any appraisal technique. Consequently, fair value could not be an approximation of net realizable value or of the value of liquidation.
A significant part of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated financial statements are short-term financial instruments, with less than a one-year maturity. The fair value of these financial instruments, with the exception of those for which an active market exists, is considered to be equivalent to the recorded value at the date of the consolidated balance sheet.
The methodologies and assumptions used depend on the terms and characteristic risks of the different financial instruments and include the following:
| • | | Cash and banks do not represent a significant credit or interest rate risk. Therefore, it has been assumed that their book values are representative of their fair values. |
48
| • | | Trust Fund investments (U.S. Treasury Papers) are stated at their estimated market value. |
| • | | Due to the fact that accounts receivable are presented net from their provision for doubtful accounts and have a maturity of less than one-year, Management considers that their reasonable value does not differ significantly from their book value. |
| • | | Investments available for sale are shown at their fair value. Non-consolidated investments in associates are not marketable securities; therefore, Management has considered that their book value is similar to their reasonable value. |
| • | | In the case of liabilities that bear interest with a maturity of more than one year, the fair value was calculated using discounted cash flows at outstanding rates applicable to liabilities with similar characteristics. At December 31, 2004, the reasonable value and the book value of these liabilities amounts to S/.957,000,000 and S/.917,000,000, respectively (S/.1,355,000,000 and S/.1,282,000,000 at December 31, 2003, respectively). |
| • | | For financial liabilities that bear interest at variable and preferential rates, it has been assumed that their book value is the same as their market value. |
| • | | The reasonable value of derivatives is based on market valuations. |
Based on the criteria described above, Management considers that there are no significant differences between the book value and the fair value of the financial instruments presented in the consolidated financial statements.
In the normal course of its operations, the Company and its Subsidiaries are subject to several tax, labor, administrative and regulatory claims, which are recorded according to accounting principles generally accepted in Peru, see note 4. The most significant contingencies at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are described below:
| (a) | To date, the assessments received from the tax authority are the following: |
| (i) | As a result of the audit of year 1998, on February 11, 2002 the Company was notified by SUNAT through several resolutions for the payment of income tax and value added tax, including fines and interest, for approximately S/.223,051,978 (at historical values of the date of the assessment. |
49
The Company filed a claim against those resolutions on the basis that they are not in accordance with legal rulings in force in Peru. To date, we are awaiting for SUNAT to issue a Resolution.
Management and its legal advisors consider that the results of this proceeding will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
| (ii) | On December 24, 2003, SUNAT notified the Company through various resolutions for the additional payment to cover pre-payments of income tax, income tax withholdings applicable to non-domiciled taxpayers, and value added tax, corresponding to 1999. Said assessment, including fines and interest, amounts to approximately S/.213,751,359 (historical values at the date of the assessment ). |
The Company has appealed all said resolutions since, in its opinion, they do not agree with legal norms currently in force in Peru.
Management and its legal advisors consider the results of these proceedings will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
| (iii) | As a result of the audit made of year 1999, on December 23, 2004 the Company received an assessment for an alleged failure to pay the Annual Income Tax for said year. |
On January 20, 2005, the Company filed a claim appeal against said resolutions, since, in its opinion, in spite of being large amounts, the assessment is not in keeping with the tax rules in force in Peru.
Management and its legal advisors consider that the results of the proceedings will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
| (iv) | Likewise, on December 23, 2004 the company received several Determination Resolutions issued by SUNAT for payments on account of Income Tax, Income Tax Withholding applicable to the non-domiciled parties and Value Added Tax corresponding to year 2000. |
In spite that the assessment is for a large amount, the Company filed a claim appeal on January 20, 2005 on the grounds of inadmissibility.
Management and its legal advisors consider that the results of the proceedings will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements
| (b) | At December 31, 2004 and 2003, Telefonica del Peru S.A.A. and its Subsidiaries have several labor and civil lawsuits and administrative processes. Both, internal and independent legal advisors are conducting such lawsuits. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, Management and its legal advisors have deemed necessary, |
50
based on the available evidence at such dates, to record provisions to cover the risks of said contingencies, as set forth in note 4(m), against the consolidated results of years 2004 and 2002, respectively.
In this sense, Management and its legal advisors, both internal and external, have been monitoring the different risks that affect Telefonica del Peru S.A.A. and Subsidiaries and consider that the provisions for contingencies recorded to date are sufficient to cover the identified business risks at December 31, 2004.
