1. OPERATIONS

BRASIL TELECOM S.A. (“the Company”) is a concessionaire of the Switched Fixed Telephone Service (“STFC”) and operates in Region II of the General Concession Plan, covering the Brazilian states of Acre, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Tocantins, Goiás, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, besides the Federal District. In this area, the Company renders since July 1998 the STFC in the modalities of local and intra-regional long distance.

With recognition of the prior fulfillment of the obligations for universalization stated in the General Plan of Universalization Goals (“PGMU”), required for December 31, 2003, the Company obtained from the National Telecommunications Agency (“ANATEL”), on January 19, 2004, authorizations for the Company to exploit STFC in the following service modalities: (i) Local and Domestic Long Distance calls in Regions I and III and Sectors 20, 22 and 25 of Region II of the General Concession Plan (“PGO”); and (ii) International Long Distance calls in Regions I, II and III of PGO.

Change in the Management

On July 27, 2005 and September 30, 2005, there were changes to the management of Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and of the Company, respectively. The process of replacing the former managers, formerly related to the manager Opportunity, was litigious, according to various material facts published by the Companies during 2005 and various lawsuits brought by the former manager, aiming at recovering the management of the Companies, which are still under progress.

11


Agreements as of April 28, 2005 under the Previous Management

On April 28, 2005, still under previous management, Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and Brasil Telecom S.A. entered into various agreements involving the Opportunity Group and Telecom Italia (“April 28 Agreements”).

Among such agreements, Brasil Telecom S.A. and its subsidiary 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A. executed with TIM International N.V. (“TIMI”) and TIM Brasil Serviços e Participações S.A. (“TIMB”) an instrument named as “Merger Agreement” and a “Protocol” related thereto.

As mentioned in material facts published, the merger was forbidden by injunctions issued by the Brazilian and U.S. courts. It is also subject-matter of discussion under arbitration involving the controlling shareholders.

The current management of Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and of the Company understands that the Merger Agreement, the respective Protocol, and other April 28 agreements, which included the waiver and transaction in lawsuits involving the Companies, were entered into with conflict of interests, breaching the laws and the Bylaws of the Companies, and also, in opposition to shareholders’ agreements and without the necessary corporate approvals. In addition, the actual management deems that such agreements are contrary to the best interest of the Companies, especially regarding its mobile telephony business.

Referring to the “Merger Agreement” mentioned in this note, the Company and its subsidiary BrT Celular started on March 15, 2006 arbitration against TIMI and TIMB, with the purpose of annulling it. The Company released a material fact on this matter on March 16, 2006.

TIMI and TIMB sent to the Company and BrT Celular a correspondence dated May 2, 2006, unilaterally terminating the referred “Merger Agreement”, reserving supposed right to indemnification for losses and damages, which is being dealt with in said arbitration. According to analyses of the Company’s legal advisors, the risk of losses referring to the supposed right to indemnification is remote and its amount is not possible to be measured. Also in May 2006, Telecom Italia International filed with Anatel and CADE, petitions requesting to file the operation related to the “Merger Agreement” due to lack of grounds.

2. PRESENTATION OF THE ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS

Preparation Criteria

The accounting statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, in compliance with the Brazilian corporate law, rules of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) and rules applicable to telephony service concessionaires.

As the Company is registered with the SEC, it is subject to SEC’s standards, and it must prepare accounting statements and other information by using criteria that comply with that agency’s requirements. To comply with these requirements and aiming at meeting the market’s information needs, the Company adopts, as a principle, the disclosure of information in both markets in their respective languages.

The notes to the accounting statements are presented in thousands of reais, unless otherwise demonstrated. According to each situation, they present information related to the Company and the

12


consolidated statements, identified as “PARENT COMPANY” and “CONSOLIDATED”, respectively. When the information is common to both situations, it is indicated as “PARENT COMPANY AND CONSOLIDATED”.

The amounts of judicial deposits linked to the provisions for contingencies are presented in a deductive way from the liabilities established. Also referring to the form of presentation, this quarterly information considers the requirements determined by CVM Resolution 488/05, especially, the segregation of assets in current and non-current groups, as well as pertaining to the latter, the creation of intangible assets subgroup. For comparative effect, previous year balances have been reclassified.

The accounting estimates were based on objective and subjective factors, based on management’s judgment to determine the appropriate amount to be recorded in the accounting statements. Significant items subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual amount of the fixed assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories and deferred income tax and social contribution, provision for contingencies, valuation of derivative instruments, and assets and liabilities related to benefits to employees. The settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in different amounts due to the inaccuracy inherent to the process of determining these amounts. Management reviews its estimates and assumptions at least quarterly.

Consolidated Accounting Statements

The consolidation was made in accordance with CVM Instruction 247/96 and includes the Company and the companies listed in Note 1.

Some of the main consolidation procedures are:

Supplementary Information

The Company is presenting as supplementary information the statement of cash flows, which was prepared in accordance with Accounting Rules and Procedures - NPC 20 of the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors - IBRACON. This statement is shown jointly with Note 17.

Report per Segment

The Company is presenting, supplementary to note 41, the report per business segment. A segment is an identifiable component of the company, intended for service rendering (business segment), or provision of products and services which are subject to risks and compensations which are different among themselves.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

The criteria mentioned in this note refer to the practices adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries that are included in the consolidated accounting statements.

a. Cash, Bank Accounts and High-Liquid Investments: Financial investments are temporary high-liquid investments, with immediate maturity. They are recorded at cost, plus income registered until the closing dates of the quarters presented, and do not exceed market value. Investment funds quotas are appreciated considering the quota values on the quarters closing dates.

b. Trade Accounts Receivable: Receivables from users of telecommunications services are recorded at the amount of the fee or the service on the date the service is rendered. Accounts receivable from services include credits for services rendered and not billed until the quarters closing dates. Receivables resulting from sales of cell phones and accessories are recorded by the amount of sales made, at the moment in which the goods are delivered and accepted by the customer. The criterion adopted for making the allowance for doubtful accounts takes into account the calculation of the actual percentage of losses incurred on each range of accounts receivable. Future losses on the current receivables balance are estimated based on these historic percentages, which include accounts coming due and also the portion of services rendered yet to be billed, thus composing the amount that could become a future loss, which is recorded as a provision.

c. Material Inventories: Stated at average acquisition cost, not exceeding replacement cost. Inventories are segregated into inventories for plant expansion and those for maintenance and in relation with the consolidated accounting statements, goods inventories for resale, mainly composed of cell phones, accessories and electronic cards - chips. The inventories to be used in expansion are classified in property, plant and equipment (construction in progress), and inventories to be used in maintenance are classified as current and long-term assets, in accordance with the period in which they will be used, and the resale inventories are classified as current assets. Obsolete inventories are recorded as allowance for losses. With regard to cell phones and accessories, the subsidiary BrT Celular records adjustments, in the cases in which the acquisitions presented higher values conforming them to the realization value.

d. Investments: Investments in subsidiaries are assessed using the equity method of accounting. Goodwill is calculated based on the expectation of future results and its amortization is based on the expected realization/timing over an estimated period of not more than ten years. Other investments are recorded at acquisition cost, less allowance for losses, when applicable. The investments resulting from income tax incentives are recognized on the date of investment, and result in shares of companies with tax incentives or investment fund quotas. In the period between the investment date and receipt of shares or quotas of funds, they remain recognized in long-term assets. These investments are periodically valued and the result of the comparison between its original and market costs, when the latter is lower, results in the constitution of allowances for probable losses.

e. Property, Plant and Equipment: Stated at cost of acquisition and/or construction, less accumulated depreciation. Financial charges resulting from obligations for financing assets and construction in progress are capitalized.

The expenditures incurred, when they represent improvements (increase in installed capacity or useful life) are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to the profit and losses accounts, on an accrual basis.

14


Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method. Depreciation rates used are based on expected useful lives of the assets and in accordance with the standards of the Public Telecommunications Service. The main rates used are set forth in Note 27.

f. Intangible Assets: These mainly refer to licenses and rights to use software and regulatory licenses. The amortization of rights to use software is calculated by the straight-line method, for a five-year period and the regulatory licenses according to the terms determined by the regulatory agency. When benefits are not expected from a license or right connected to such asset, it is written off against the non-operating income.

g. Deferred Charges: Mainly refer to implementation and reorganization expenses. Amortization is calculated under the straight-line method, for a five-year term. When benefits are not expected from an asset, it is written off against non-operating income.

h. Income and Social Contribution Taxes: Corporate income and social contribution taxes are accounted for on an accrual basis. These taxes levied on temporary differences, tax losses and the social contribution negative basis are recorded under assets or liabilities, as applicable, according to the assumption of realization or future demand, within the parameters set forth in CVM Instruction 371/02.

i. Loans and Financing: These are restated by monetary and/or exchange variations and interest incurred until the quarter closing date. Equal restatement is applied to the guarantee contracts to hedge the debt.

j. Provision for Contingencies: The contingency provisions are made based on a survey of the respective risks and they are quantified according to economic grounds and legal opinions on the contingency proceedings and facts known on the quarter closing date. The basis and nature of the provisions are described in Note 7.

k. Revenue Recognition: Revenues from services rendered are recognized when provided. Local and long distance calls are charged based on time measurement according to the legislation in force. Revenues from sales of payphone cards (Public Use Telephony - TUP), cell phones and accessories are recorded when delivered and accepted by the clients. For prepaid services linked to mobile telephony, the revenue is recognized in accordance with the utilization of services. Revenue is not recognized if there is a significant uncertainty in its realization.

l. Recognition of Expenses: Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, considering their relation with revenue realization. Expenses related to future periods are deferred.

m. Financial Income (Expense), Net: Financial income is recognized on an accrual basis and comprises interest earned on overdue accounts settled after the term, gains on financial investments and hedges. Financial expenses comprise interest incurred and other charges on loans, financing and other financial transactions.

Interest on shareholders’ equity, when credited, is included in the financial expenses balance, and for financial statement presentation purposes, the amounts are reversed to profit and loss accounts and reclassified as a deduction of retained earnings, in the shareholders’ equity.

15


n. Benefits to Employees: Private pension plans and other retirement benefits sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries for their employees are managed under three foundations. Contributions are determined on an actuarial basis, when applicable, and accounted for on an accrual basis. As of December 31, 2001, the Company recorded its actuarial deficit on the balance sheet date against shareholders’ equity, excluding the corresponding tax effects. As from 2002, as new actuarial revaluations show the necessity for adjustments to the provision, they are recognized in the profit and loss accounts. Additional information on private pension plans is described in Note 6.

o. Profit Sharing: The provision for employees and management profit sharing is recognized on an accrual basis, being accounted as operating expense. The calculation of the amount, which is paid in the subsequent year after the provision is recognized, is based on the target program established with the labor union, by means of collective labor agreement, in accordance with Law 10,101/00 and the Company’s Bylaws.

p. Earnings or losses per share: Calculated based on the number of shares outstanding on the quarter closing date, which comprises the total number of shares issued, minus shares held in treasury.

5. MARKET VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS) AND RISK ANALYSIS

The Company and its subsidiaries assessed the book value of its assets and liabilities as compared to market or realizable values (fair value), based on information available and evaluation methodologies applicable to each case. The interpretation of market data regarding the choice of methodologies requires considerable judgment and determination of estimates to achieve an amount considered adequate for each case. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not necessarily indicate the amounts, which can be obtained in the current market. The use of different assumptions for calculation of market value or fair value may have material effect on the obtained amounts. The selection of assets and liabilities presented in this note took place based on their materiality. Instruments whose values approximate their fair values, for example, cash, bank accounts and high-liquid investments, accounts receivable, assets and liabilities of taxes, pension funds, among others, and whose risk assessment is not significant, are not mentioned.

In accordance with their natures, the financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks, and the potential of such risks is important for the best judgment. Thus, there may be risks with or without guarantees, depending on circumstantial or legal aspects. Among the principal market risk factors which can affect the Company’s business are the following:

a. Credit Risk

The majority of services provided by the Company are related to the Concession Agreement, and a significant portion of these services is subject to the determination of fees by the regulatory agency. The credit policy, in its turn, in case of telecommunications public services, is subject to legal standards established by the concession authority. The risk exists since the Company may incur losses arising from the difficulty in receiving amounts billed to its customers. The Company’s default up to the quarter was 2.49% (2.63% in 2006), taking into account the accounts receivable total losses in relation to gross revenue. For the Consolidated it was 2.65% (2.71% in 2006). By means of internal controls, the level of accounts receivable is constantly monitored, thus limiting the risk of past due accounts by cutting the access to the service (out phone traffic) if the bill is overdue for over 30 days. Exceptions are made for telephone services, which should be maintained for national security or defense.

The Company operates in co-billing, concerning long distance calls with the use of its CSP (Operator Selection Code) originated by subscribers of other fixed and mobile telephony operators. The co-billing accounts receivable are managed by these operators, based on the operational agreements entered into with them and according to the rules set forth by ANATEL. The blocking rules set forth by the regulating agency are the same for the fixed and mobile telephony companies, which are co-billing suppliers. The Company separately controls receivables of this nature and maintains an allowance for losses that may occur, due to the risks of not receiving such amounts.

In respect to mobile telephony, credit risk in cell phones sales and in service rendering in the postpaid category is minimized with the adoption of a credit pre-analysis. Still in relation to postpaid service, whose customer base at the end of the quarter was 23.6% of total portfolio (26.6% on 3/31/07), the accounts receivable are also monitored in order to limit default and the block is made to the service (out of phone traffic) if the bill is overdue for over fifteen days.

19


b. Exchange Rate Risk

Liabilities

The Company has loans and financing contracted in foreign currency. The risk related to these liabilities arises from possible exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase these liabilities balances. Consolidated loans subject to this risk represent approximately 18.3% (16.1% on 3/31/07) of the total liabilities of consolidated loans and financing, minus the contracted hedge balances. In order to minimize this kind of risk, the Company has been entering into exchange hedge agreements with financial institutions. Of the debt installment consolidated in foreign currency, 41.0% (70.0% on 3/31/07) is covered by hedge operations and financial investments in foreign currency. Unrealized positive and negative effects in these operations are recorded against income as profit or loss. Up to the quarter closing date, the accumulated negative variation of hedge contracts totaled R$78,271 (R$72,774 of negative variation in 2006).

Net exposure as per book and market values at the exchange rate risk prevailing on the quarter closing date was as follows:

  PARENT COMPANY 
  6/30/07  3/31/07 
Book
 Value 
Market 
 Value 
Book
 Value 
Market
 Value 
Liabilities         
Loans and Financing  707,525  738,906  751,525  790,721 
Hedge Contracts  425,941  425,778  378,356  376,154 
Total  1,133,466  1,164,684  1,129,881  1,166,875 
Current  207,917  208,893  184,720  184,688 
Long-term  925,549  955,791  945,161  982,187 

The method used for calculation of market value (fair value) of loans and financing in foreign currency and hedge instruments was future cash flows associated to each contracted instrument, minus the market rates in force in the quarter closing date.

c. Interest Rate Risk

Assets

The Company has loans granted to the phone directory company, with interest indexed to the IGP-DI (a national index price), as well as loans resulting from the sale of property, plant and equipment to other telephony companies, remunerated by IPA-OG/Industrial Products of Column 27 (FGV). The Company also has Bank Deposit Certificates (CDBs) with Banco de Brasília S.A. related to the guarantee to credit benefit granted by the Federal District Government under a program called Programa de Promoção do Desenvolvimento Econômico e Sustentável do Distrito Federal – PRO-DF, (Program to Promote the Economic and Sustained Development of the Federal District), and the remuneration of these securities is equivalent to 95% of the SELIC rate.

Liabilities

The Company has loans and financing contracted in local currency subject to interest rates linked to indexing units TJLP, UMBNDES, CDI and IGP/DI. The inherent risk in these liabilities arises from possible variations in these rates. The Company has contracted derivative hedge contracts to 9.3% (12.5% on 3/31/07) of the liabilities subject to the UMBNDES rate, using exchange rate swap contracts. However, the other market rates are continually monitored to evaluate the need to contract instruments to protect against the variation of these rates. The positive or negative effects unrealized in these operations are recorded in results as gain or loss. Up to the quarter closing date, the negative accumulated change of the hedge agreements amounted to R$3,133 (R$7,669 of negative change in 2006).

In addition to the loans and financing, the Company issued public debentures, non-convertible or exchangeable for shares. These liabilities were contracted at interest rates linked to the CDI, and the risk associated to this liability results from the possible increase of the rate.

The above mentioned liabilities on the quarter closing date are as follows:

Book value is equivalent to market values where the current contractual conditions for these types of financial instruments are similar to those in which they were originated or they did not present parameters for quotation or contracting.

d. Risk of Not Linking Monetary Restatement Indexes of Loans and Financing to Accounts Receivable

Loan and financing rates contracted by the Company are not linked to amounts of accounts receivable. Thus, a risk exists, since telephony fees adjustments do not necessarily follow increases in local interest rates, which affect the Company’s debts.

e. Contingency Risks

Contingency risks are assessed according to loss hypotheses, as probable, possible or remote. Contingencies considered probable risks are recorded as liabilities. Details of these risks are presented in Note 7.

f. Risks Related to Investments

The Company has investments, which are assessed through the equity method of accounting and the acquisition cost. The investments assessed by the equity method of accounting are presented in Note 26, for which no market value exists, as they are represented by non-listed companies or private limited companies. Provisions are recorded for losses when the future cash flows expected from an investment lead to loss expectations.

The investments assessed at acquisition cost are immaterial in relation to total assets. Their associated risks would not cause significant impacts to the Company in case of loss of these investments.

g. Financial Investments Risks

The company has temporary high-liquid investments, in domestic currency, in financial investment funds (FIFs), and investments in its own portfolio of (based on post-fixed rates) private securities issued by first-tier financial institutions (CDBs). The FIFs portfolios are comprised of federal bonds (based on post-fixed, pre-fixed and foreign exchange rates) and CDBs issued by first-tier financial institutions (based on post-fixed rates), all of them linked to CDI variation.

22


The temporary high-liquid investments, in foreign currency, are represented by overnight operations backed by securities issued by foreign financial institutions.

The short-term investments are represented by investments in securities issued by the Republic of Austria, with remuneration linked to CDI.

The investments in CDBs and overnight operations are subject to credit risk of the financial institutions. Investments in foreign currency are subject to exchange rate risk.

The balances of the financial investments are presented in Note 17. The Company’s income earned up to the quarter was recorded as financial revenue and amount to R$59,726 (R$58,618 in 2006). Earnings from consolidated financial investments were R$118,099 (R$75,068 in 2006).

The short-term investments – temporary investments are presented in note 18. The income earned up to the quarter closing date was recorded in the financial revenue and amount to R$3,305 (R$2,372 in 2006).

h. Risk of Early Maturity of Loans and Financing

Liabilities resulting from financing, mentioned in note 35, concerning agreements of BNDES, public debentures and most of them referring to financial institutions, have clauses that estimate the early maturity of liabilities or retention of amounts pegged to debt covenants, in the cases in which certain levels for certain indicators are not reached, such as ratios of indebtedness, liquidity, cash generation and others.

For the financing agreements maintained with BNDES, the Company must comply with a set of financial ratios and in the event of non-compliance with some of these ratios, the Bank is allowed to request the temporary block of amounts, given as guarantee in a linked account. All indicators set forth in agreements are being complied with, thus there are no sanctions or penalties set forth in the agreement clauses entered into upon the Company

i. Regulatory Risks

Concession Agreements

Local and domestic long distance concession agreements were entered into by Brasil Telecom S.A. with Anatel, which took effect between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2025. These new concession agreements, which provide for reviews on a five-year basis, in general have a higher intervention level in the management of the businesses and several provisions defending the consumer’s interest, as noticed by the regulation body. The main highlights are:

23


The interconnection tariffs are defined as a percentage public local and domestic long distance tariff until the effective implementation of cost model by service/modality, estimated for 2008, as defined in the Regulation for Separation and Accounting Allocation (Resolution 396/05).

The amendment to the tariff method applicable to the STFC Basic Plan in the Local Modality Rendered under Public Scheme (PBS) – Conversion from Pulses to Minutes, and the implementation of the Alternative Service Plan of the Mandatory Offer (PASOO) shall be concluded in all areas of operations of the Company up to July 31, 2007, in compliance with the regulatory requirements defined by ANATEL set forth in Rules No. 423/05, 432/06 and 450/06.

Taking into consideration that this amendment will enable customers to chose between two mandatory offering service plans (PBS and PASOO), as well as actually exercising their right to request a detailed local call invoice, it is not possible to assess, on the date these quarterly information was prepared, the future impacts to be generated by such a change in the regulation.

The Bill of the Senate (PLS) 103/2007 and the Bill 1,481/2007, under priority progress, to amend Law 9,394/96 and Law 9,998/00, provide for the access to information digital networks in educational institutions and enable the use of funds raised by FUST by all the telecommunication operators, or even on a decentralized basis, by means of agreements of the federal government with other states. On the date of the preparation of this quarterly information is not possible to assess the future impacts of these Bills under process on the Company’s results.

Overlapping of Licenses

When the certification for achieving the universalization targets for 2003 was received, set forth by ANATEL, the Company already provided the fixed telephony service (“STFC”) in the intra-regional local and domestic long distance modalities (“LDN”) in the Region II of the General Concession Plan (“PGO”). After achieving the referred targets, ANATEL, in January 2004, issued authorizations that increase the possibility of Company’s operation: Local STFC and LDN in the Regions I and III of the PGO (and a few sectors of the Region II); International Long Distance (“LDI”) in the Regions I, II and III of the PGO; mobile telephony, by means of the subsidiary 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A. (“BrT Celular”), in the Region II of the Personal Mobile Service (“SMP”). The already existing concession agreements were expanded, enabling LDN calls to any part of the Brazilian territory. If Telecom Italia International N.V. (“TII”) acquired an indirect interest in the Company, the Company and TIM Brasil Serviços e Participações S.A. (“TIM”) could be considered affiliates under the new Brazilian telecommunications legislation. That would imply the ability of providing domestic (LDN) and international (LDI) fixed and mobile telephony services throughout the same regions of TIM’s, would be subject to risk of being partially closed by ANATEL. On January 16, 2004, ANATEL issued the Act 41,780 establishing an 18-month period for TII to reacquire an indirect interest in the Company, as long as TII did not participate or vote on issues related to the overlapping of services offered by the Company and TIM, such as domestic and international long-distance and mobile services. On June 30, 2004, the Administrative Council of Economic Defense – CADE, in the records of the Write of Prevention 08700.000018/2004 -68, set forth restrictions to the exercise of the control rights on the part of Telecom Italia International N.V. and its representatives at the board of directors of Solpart Participações S.A., Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and Brasil Telecom S.A.

24


On April 28, 2005, TII and TIM and the Company and BrT Celular entered into various corporate agreements, including an instrument called “Merger Agreement” and a “Protocol” related thereto. Among other reasons alleged, this merger operation was justified by the management of that time as possible solution to overlapping of regulatory licenses and authorizations with TIM, to remove sanctions and penalties, which could be imposed by ANATEL. The operation was forbidden by an injunction issued by the U.S. court. It is also subject-matter of discussion in the Brazilian Court and in arbitration involving controlling shareholders.

On July 7, 2005, ANATEL declared, by means of Act 51,450, that the counting of 18 month-term to solve the overlapping of licenses would start on the date of effective return of TII to the control group of Brasil Telecom S.A. On July 26, 2005, ANATEL, by means of Order 576/2005, declared that the counting of term had already started on April 28, 2005. Therefore, according to ANATEL, the interested companies shall adopt the measures necessary to eliminate the overlapping of the concessions until the end of referred term in October 2006, under the penalty of applying legal sanctions, which may affect either companies or both of them.

Depending on the final decision of ANATEL, these sanctions could have an adverse and material effect on businesses and operations of the Company and of 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A.

On October 18, 2006, the Board of Executive Officers of ANATEL, by means of its press agency, informed its previous consent to a new operation presented by Telecom Italia International (TII) with the purpose of unmaking the concession overlapping of the Personal Mobile Service (SMP) in Region II of the General Plan of Authorizations (PGA) and of the domestic and international long distance Switched Fixed Telephone Service (STFC) in regions I, II and III of the General Concession Plan (PGO).

This new operation comprised the transfer, to Brasilco S.r.l. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of TII, with headquarters in Italy), of the total voting shares held by TII in the capital stock of Solpart Participações S.A. (corresponding to 38%), the parent company of Brasil Telecom Participações S.A., of Brasil Telecom S. A. and of 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S. A. The stake of TII in Brasilco shall be managed independently by Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited.

The Agency, upon its prior consent, maintained the prohibitions related to the vote and veto exercise in the resolutions related to the STFC services (LDN and LDI) and SMP

With the effective implementation of the operation until October 28, 2006, the concession overlapping for the SMP exploration in Region II of PGA and domestic and international long distance STFC in regions I, II and III of PGO would cease, as a communication of ANATEL of October 18, 2006, mentioned above.

On October 27, 2006, the Company received the terms of resignation, dated October 20, 2006, from two members of its Board of Directors pointed by TII, as well as its respective alternate members. Also, on October 27, 2006, the Company received a letter from its controlling shareholder, SOLPART PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A., informing that TII had already transferred the shares in the terms approved by

25


Anatel - however, within the deadline. On October 30, 2006, the Company disclosed to the market a material fact related to these two topics.

Also on October 30, 2006, ANATEL, through its press agency announced that Telecom Italia International would file with ANATEL on October 27,2006, therefore, within deadline, the supplementary documentation necessary to analyze and approve the new operation: (i) proof of Telecom Italia’s managers and deputies’ resignations in the Board of Directors of Brasil Telecom and Solpart Participações S.A.; and (ii) corporate documents related to the referred transfer of shares and to the independent management of Brasilco by Credit Suisse, in the capacity as Trustee of Telecom Italia.

Should Anatel’s approval be confirmed (still pending) of the documentation presented by TII to the Agency on October 27, 2006, confirming the operation implementation until October 28, 2006, the concession overlapping for SMP exploration in Region II of PGA and domestic and international long distance in regions I, II and III of PGO would cease.

In November 2006, TII submitted to Anatel the concentration act with Brasilco. During same month, Anatel, observing the procedural progress, it submitted this operation to the Administrative Council of Economic Defense - CADE.

On May 25, 2007, Anatel officially published the decision of granting to TIM new grants of STFC, this time under the local modality, in the Regions I, II and III of the General Concession Plan, (Act 65,152 as of May 24, 2007).

On July 18, 2007, Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and Brasil Telecom S.A., jointly with 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A., Zain Participações S.A., Invitel S.A., Solpart Participações S.A., Techold Participações S.A., Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil – Previ, Petros – Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social, Fundação dos Economiários Federais – Funcef, Investidores Institucionais Fundo de Investimento em Ações, Fundação 14 de Previdência Privada, Fundação Vale do Rio Doce de Seguridade Social – Valia, Citigroup Venture Capital International Brazil, L.P., Citigroup Venture Capital International Brazil, Ltd., International Equity Investments Inc., Citibank, N.A., Priv Fundo de Investimento em Ações, Tele Fundo de Investimento em Ações, Angra Partners Consultoria Empresarial e Participações Ltda., on the one hand, and Telecom Italia International N.V., Telecom Italia S.p.A., Brasilco S.R.L., Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited, Tim Brasil Serviços e Participações S.A. and Tim International N.V., on the other hand (“Telecom Italia”), signed a Mutual Waiver Agreement, by means of which the signatory parties undertake, provided that they are granted prior authorization of the proper corporate bodies and upon the effective acquisition by Previ, Petros and Funcef, or by Techold, as the case may be, of the entire shareholding represented by shares issued by Solpart held by Brasilco (“Brasilco Shares”) to waive pleadings and dismiss ongoing disputes at the Judiciary Branch and at international Arbitration Courts, involving the Companies and its shareholders, direct or indirect, on the one hand, and Telecom Italia and its subsidiaries, on the other hand.

With the Mutual Waiver Agreement, current and potential litigations involving Brasil Telecom and Brasil Telecom Participações and its subsidiaries and the companies of Telecom Italia Group, will be closed, among others, including the end of the arbitrations mentioned in Notice disclosed by the Companies on March 16, 2006.

The effective acquisition of Brasilco Shares, which is subject to approval of the National Telecommunications Agency - ANATEL and to other conditions, will enable to close the existing administrative proceedings regarding the overlapping of telephony licenses (STFC, SMP, LDN and LDI) among companies of Brasil Telecom Group and Telecom Italia Group and, thus, permanently removing the possibility of material adverse impact on the businesses and interests of the companies of Brasil Telecom Group.

26


Brasil Telecom S.A. and Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. also clarified, by means of material fact, that they are not parties of the Brasilco Share Purchase Agreement, and they are not parties of any other agreements which may have been entered into concurrently to the Mutual Waiver Agreement.

6. BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES

The benefits described in this note are offered to the employees of the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries. These companies are better described jointly, and can be referred to as “Brasil Telecom Companies” and for the purpose of the supplementary pension plan mentioned in this note, are also denominated “Sponsor” or “Sponsors”.

a. Supplementary Pension Plan

The Company sponsors supplementary pension plans related to retirement for its employees and assisted members, and, in the case of the latter, medical assistance in some cases. These plans are managed by the following foundations: (i) Fundação 14 de Previdência Privada (“Fundação 14”); (ii) Fundação BrTPREV (“FBrTPREV”) former CRT, a company merged by the Company on 12/28/00; and (iii) Fundação SISTEL de Seguridade Social (“SISTEL”), originated from certain companies of the former Telebrás System.

The Company’s Bylaws stipulate approval of the supplementary pension plan policy, and the joint liability attributed to the defined benefit plans is linked to the acts signed with the foundations, with the agreement of the Secretaria de Previdência Complementar - SPC, where applicable to the specific plans.

The plans sponsored are valued by independent actuaries on the fiscal year closing date. In the case of the defined benefit plans described in this explanatory note, immediate recognition of the actuarial gains and losses is adopted. Liabilities are provided for plans which show deficits. This measure has been applied since the 2001 fiscal year, when the regulations of CVM Resolution 371/00 were adopted. In cases that show positive actuarial situations, no assets are recorded due to the legal impossibility of reimbursing these surpluses.

The characteristics of the supplementary pension plans sponsored by the Company are described below.

FUNDAÇÃO 14

Private Pension Fundação 14 was created in 2004 and since 3/10/05 has been in charge of the management and operation of the TCSPREV pension plan. On such a date, it entered into an administration agreement with SISTEL, so that the latter would provide management and operating services to the TCSPREV and PAMEC-BrT plans up to 9/30/06. From this date on, Fundação 14 took over the management and operation services of its plans.

27


Plans

On 12/31/01, all pension plans sponsored by the Company with SISTEL were merged, being exceptionally and provisionally approved by the Secretaria de Previdência Complementar – SPC of document sent to that Agency, due to the need for adjustments to the regulations. Thus, TCSPREV is comprised of defined contribution groups with settled and defined benefits. The plans that were merged into the TCSPREV were the PBS-TCS, PBT-BrT, BrT Management Agreement, and the Unusual Contractual Relation Instrument, and the conditions established in the original plans were maintained. In March 2003, this plan was no longer offered to the sponsors’ new contracted ones. However, concerning the group of defined contribution, this plan started being offered as of March 2005. TCSPREV currently provides assistance to nearly 64.9% of the staff.

b. Stock Option Plan for Management and Employees

The Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 28, 2000, approved the general plan to grant stock call options to officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The plan authorizes a maximum limit of 10% of the shares of each class of Company stock. Shares derived from exercising options guarantee the beneficiaries the same rights granted to other Company shareholders. The administration of this plan was entrusted to a management committee appointed by the Board of Directors, which decided only to grant preferred stock options. The plan is divided into two separate programs:

30


Program A

This program is granted as an extension of the performance objectives of the Company established by the Board of Directors for a five-year period. Up to the quarter closing date no option had been granted.

Program B

The exercise price is established by the management committee based on the market price of the shares on the date of the grant of option and will be monetarily restated by the IGP-M between the date of signing the contracts and the payment date.

The right to exercise the option is given in the way and terms presented as follows:

  First Grant  Second Grant  Third Grant

The recoverable amount expected after 2016 is a result of a provision to cover an actuarial insufficiency of pension plans that is being settled according to the maximum remaining period of 14 years and 6 months, in line with the period established by the Supplementary Pension Department (“SPC”). Despite the time limit stipulated by the SPC and according to the estimated future taxable income, the Company presents conditions to fully offset the deferred taxes in a period lower than ten years, if it opts to fully anticipate the payment of the debt. Tax credits in the amount of R$141,482, attributed to the Consolidated, were not recorded due to the non-existence of necessary requirements for the history and/or future forecast of taxable income in VANT, BrT Multimídia and BrT CS, companies controlled by the Company.

Other Taxes Recoverable

They are comprised of federal withholding taxes and payments made, calculated based on legal estimates, which will be offset against future tax obligations. The ICMS recoverable arises, for the most part, from credits recorded in the acquisition of fixed assets, whose compensation with ICMS payable may occur in up to 48 months, according to Supplementary Law 102/00.

Self-financing funds - Rio Grande do Sul branch

They correspond to the credits of capital participation, paid by engaged subscribers, for acquisition of the right of use of switched fixed telephone service, still under the elapsed self-financing modality. It happened that, as the shareholders of the Company had fully subscribed the capital increase made to repay in shares the credits for capital participation, there were no unsold shares to be delivered to the engaged subscribers. Part of these engaged subscribers, who did not accept the Company’s Public Offering for return of the referred credits in cash, as established in article 171, paragraph 2, of Law no. 6,404/76, are awaiting resolution of the ongoing lawsuit, filed by the Public Prosecution Service and Other, aiming at reimbursement in shares.

40. FUNDS FOR CAPITALIZATION

The expansion plans (self-financing) were the means by which the telecommunications companies financed part of the network investments. With the issue of Administrative Rule no 261/97 by the Ministry of Communications, this mechanism for raising funds was eliminated, and the existing amount of R$7,974 (R$7,974 on 3/31/07) derives from plans sold prior to the issue of the Administrative Rule, the corresponding assets to which are already incorporated in the Company’s fixed assets through the Community Telephony Plant – PCT. For reimbursement in shares, it is necessary to await the judicial ruling on the suits brought by the interested parties.

With the Mutual Waiver Agreement, the current and potential litigations, involving the Companies and its subsidiaries and the companies of Telecom Italia Group will be closed, among others, including the end of the arbitrations mentioned in the Notice disclosed by the Companies on March 16, 2006.

Fixed Plant

At the end of 2Q07, Brasil Telecom’s plant was composed of 8.1 million of lines in service, of which 41.0% were customers from alternative plans. Brasil Telecom has been launching new plans according to the segmentation strategy of customer base in order to ensure the universalization of telecommunication services and the profitability of services rendered. Pursuant to Anatel’s resolution, the implementation of the conversion from pulses to minutes will be concluded up to July 31, 2007.

Brasil Telecom offers to its customers the Full Bill Plan, which is already adjusted to the new minute collection system ruled by Anatel, so that the customer may receive a detailed bill and identify the calls made. The packages of Full Bill Plan enable the customer to choose the ideal concession to his/her consumption profile and offer concession options from 400 to 20,000 minutes of local calls to fixed telephones, from 30 to 500 minutes of local calls to mobile phones and from 30 to 120 minutes of long- distance calls.

In 2Q07, Brasil Telecom relied on 3.3 million of lines in local alternative plans of fixed telephony, a 19.2% increase compared to 2Q06, which reflects the Company’s strategy of retaining and building customers loyalty by offering specific plans according to each customer’s profile. The alternative plans are, among others: minutes plans, plans for fixed-fixed and fixed-mobile local calls.

Brasil Telecom also offers long distance alternative plans and relied on 682.7 thousand customers at the end of 2Q07, a 62.1% increase compared to 2Q06.

At the end of 2Q07, Brasil Telecom’s plant comprised 10.4 million lines installed, of which 8.1 million were in service, representing utilization rate of 78.4% . Year-on-year, the utilization rate posted an 8.8 p.p. reduction due to the adoption of more rigid measures in the Company’s collection and billing policy as of 3Q06 and the drop of the fixed terminals in service. At the end of 2Q07, Brasil Telecom had 7,901.5 thousand active lines and 227.9 thousand blocked lines.

Exceeding Local Minutes and Pulses

In 2Q07, Brasil Telecom posted 499.7 million of exceeding minutes, 337.5% higher than 114.2 million minutes recorded in 1Q07, basically due to the growing adhesion to the alternative plans.

In 2Q07, Brasil Telecom reached 1.2 billion exceeding pulses, representing a 15.1% reduction compared to 1Q07, explained by the migration from pulses to exceeding minutes, recorded in 2Q07. Year-on-year, the drop was of 43.2% in view of an increase in local concessions which generates an increment of subscription; the migration effect of pulse-minute which distributes the traffic, which originally was only measured in pulse and as of this year started to be also measured in minutes; the 25.9% increase in the plant of ADSL accesses; and the migration from fixed to mobile terminals.

VC-1

The VC-1 traffic amounted to 697.8 million of minutes in 2Q07, 0.8% higher when compared to the 1Q07 and stable compared to the same period of the previous year, in spite of the effect of aggressive promotions to intranetwork calls of competitor mobile operators.

Long-Distance Traffic

A 3.9% and 1.0% decrease of long distance traffic was recorded in 2Q07 when compared to 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively. However, this decrease is offset in the revenue by the increase in the number of customers who adhered to the long distance plans. Additionally, an increase of VC-2 and VC-3 traffics was also recorded, according to the comparison quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year.

LD Market Share

In 2Q07, Brasil Telecom maintained its leadership position and posted an average market share of 86.0% in the intra-regional segment. In the intra-sectorial segment, Brasil Telecom reached a 90.5% market share, stable compared to the previous quarter. Brasil Telecom closed the 2Q07 with 63.7% market share in the inter-regional segment and a 36.0% share in the international segment.

Tariffs

Anatel authorized Brasil Telecom to adjust the tariff items of Basic Plans for Local and Domestic Long Distance Plans, pursuant to the Concession Agreements. The average adjustments authorized were of 2.14% for local and domestic long distance tariff baskets. The TU-RL (Local Network Usage Tariff) was adjusted by 2.12% and the TU-RIU (Interurban Network Usage Tariff) was reduced by 0.13% .

77


The Basic Plans tariffs of the Switched Fixed Telephone Service (STFC), Local and LDN, for mobile phone calls, VC-1, VC-2, VC-3, were adjusted by 3.29%, also as of July 20, 2007.

Out of the total access removed in June 2007, 95.3 thousand were post-paid accesses and 86.0 were prepaid accesses. These extraordinary disconnections made additions to be net from negative postpaid accesses.

The ongoing growth of ADSL services continues during 2Q07, supported by the sale of quadruple-play packages, in partnership with Sky, and by the enlargement of Turbo services portfolio, using the ADSL 2+ technology which allows speeds of up to 24 Mbps. Brasil Telecom’s investments in this technology have been made over the past years and have already been made available in more than half of the 1,300 cities served with broadband connection.

In addition to the ADSL accesses, Brasil Telecom recorded in 2Q07 the ongoing increase of other products in the data transmission segment, namely: (i) Plus Service, which is a data transportation service, (ii) Vetor, which is a private virtual network which uses all the capacity of IP connections to compose a unique network, complete and flexible, used in data transmission, multimedia and voice, (iii) IP Corporate services that provide connection to the Internet for large companies, and (iv) Interlan, a solution to connect more than two remote points to a concentrating point, transmitting voice and data.

Internet Providers

The Internet Group, Brasil Telecom’s internet unit, comprising the activities of iG, Ibest and BrTurbo providers, is the 2nd largest broadband internet access provider in the Brazilian market. Summing up the customers of the Added Value Service, the total number of paying customers is of 1.8 million. The Internet Group also has 4 million dial up internet access customers; in addition, it is the 3rd largest Brazil’s portal in terms of browsing, with more than 9.8 million of monthly residential Unique Visitors.

Internet Group reached 1.3 million broadband internet access customers at the end of 2Q07, accounting for a 7.9% growth when compared to the 1Q07 and 42.3% when compared year-on-year. Out of the broadband internet access customers in the Region II, it is expected that 64.1% are iG or BrTurbo subscribers, positioning the company as the market leader in this region.

In addition to the broadband internet access customers, the Internet Group had a 27.9% growth in customers paying for the Value Added Services, quarter-on-quarter and a 173.4% growth, year-on-year, reaching 0.6 million customers in 2Q07. This growth was primarily due to the products concerned with the residential public.

ECONOMIC-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenues

Total gross revenue of Brasil Telecom reached R$3,972.9 million in 2Q07, 1.9% and 9.8% higher when compared to 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively. The growing contribution from data communication services and mobile telephony show the success of the revenue diversification strategy implemented by Brasil Telecom.

Local Service

The local service gross revenue reached R$1,634.4 million in 2Q07, 0.8% lower than that recorded in 1Q07. The restraint of local service drop occurred due to an increase of customers in the local alternative plans offered by the Company. Out of the total of the local service revenue, 70.7% derived from revenue from subscription and service measured, and 28.5% represented revenues with VC-1 calls.

In the second quarter, subscription gross revenue reached R$874.3 million, a 1.4% increase in relation to R$862.6 million recorded in 1Q07. This increase was basically due to migration of customers to the alternative plans, which offset the 1.7% drop in average terminals in service, which amounted to 8,203.7 thousand terminals in 2Q07 against 8,347.8 thousand terminals in 1Q07.

The gross revenue from service measured amounted to R$281.1 million in 2Q07, 7.1% lower than that observed in 1Q07, basically due to the migrations of customers to the alternative plans. Compared to 2Q06, the gross revenue with service measured was 16.3% lower, due to the reduction of pulses billed at 43.2%, partially offset by the ongoing increase of 377.5% in exceeding minutes.

80


Gross revenue from VC-1 calls reached R$466.1 million in 2Q07, which was stable compared to 1Q07, deriving from the stability in the quantity of VC-1 minutes.

Public Telephony

Public telephony gross revenue reached R$140.4 million in 2Q07, 8.8% higher than the 1Q07 revenue and 1.1% higher than the revenue recorded in 2Q06. The increase quarter-on-quarter is basically due to the 6.0% superiority in the quantity of sold credits in 2Q07 compared to 1Q07.

Long Distance

Gross revenue from LD services amounted to R$727.6 million in 2Q07, accounting for a 3.8% drop quarter-on-quarter, primarily reflecting the migration to the plans of long distance minutes, which influences the 3.9% drop in the long distance traffic. The 7.2% increase year-on-year occurred basically due to higher VC-2, VC-3 traffic and international traffic.

Interconnection

Interconnection revenue in 2Q07 was R$82.4 million and posted a 3.0% and 17.4% reduction quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year, respectively. This fall was mainly due to the traffic drop and the 20% reduction in TU-RL, as of January 1, 2007.

Data Communication

In 2Q07, gross revenue from data communication and other services of the main activity reached R$686.0 million, a 6.7% increase compared to the previous quarter and a 28.5% increase compared to 2Q06. This increment is mostly due to an increase in the ADSL customer base, which climbed 5.1% and 25.9% compared to 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively.

Mobile Telephony

The consolidated gross revenue from mobile telephony services of 2Q07 was 13.6% and 95.0% higher than the revenues recorded in 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively. The increase compared to the 2Q06 was due to the effect of the full bill and to the increase of the base.

In 2Q07, the total consolidated gross revenue from mobile telephony amounted to R$511.5 million, of which R$428.8 million related to services and R$82.7 million related to handsets and accessory sales.

ARPU

The total ARPU of mobile telephony recorded in 2Q07 was of R$33.8. The ARPU referring to the post-paid accesses was of R$49.8 and the ARPU of the prepaid accesses was of R$28.3. Compared to 1Q07, the total ARPU increased by 1.2% .

Excluding the extraordinary disconnections of 181.3 thousand customers, held in June 2007 concerning all the 2Q07, the ARPU of BrT Móvel would be of R$35.21, the largest one among the mobile telephony operators in Brazil in 2Q07.

81


Fixed telephony ARPU (excluding data communication) reached R$77.9 in 2Q07, which is stable compared to previous quarter and 17.0% higher than the 2Q06, reflecting the Company’s strategy of discontinuing fixed telephony revenue deterioration. Including the data communication, the ARPU recorded in 2Q07 amounts to R$97.9, an increase of 1.9% and 22.5% when compared to 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively, reflecting the ongoing growth of the penetration of ADSL accesses.

ADSL ARPU, recorded in 2Q07 was R$72.2, a 1.3% and 6.8% growth compared to 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively, due to the Company’s strategy of prioritizing the sale of more profitable products and with higher access speeds.

Consolidated Net Revenue

The consolidated net revenue of Brasil Telecom reached R$2,743.3 million in 2Q07, 2.0% higher quarter-on-quarter and 11.9% higher year-on-year.

Costs and Expenses

Operating Costs and Expenses

In 2Q07, operating costs and expenses totaled R$2,392.7 million, which was stable related to R$2,383.9 million of 1Q07. Compared to R$2,303.3 million recorded in 2Q06, a 3.9% increase resulted from higher interconnection expenses and allowance for doubtful accounts, partially offset by the reduction of manageable expenses, such as personnel, materials, outsourced services and advertising and marketing.

Personnel

In 2Q07, personnel costs and expenses reached R$155.1 million, a 3.2% increase quarter-on-quarter and 4.0% decrease year-on-year. At the end of 2Q07, a total of 5,868 people were working for the Group, an increase of only 0.5% when compared to March 2007, of which 5,258 are employees in the fixed telephony segment and 610 at BrT Móvel, compared to the 5,227 and 611 of previous quarter.

Outsourced Services

Costs and expenses related to third-party services, excluding interconnection and advertising & marketing, totaled R$561.7 million in 2Q07, stable in relation to the amounts recorded in the previous quarter, and 2.0% lower than that one recorded in 2Q06, reflecting the Company’s strategy of controlling expenses.

Interconnection costs totaled R$570.4 million in 2Q07, 1.1% lower than the costs recorded in 1Q07 and 18.7% higher than 2Q06, due to increased customer base in the mobile phone operators and the implementation of full bill, partially offset by a 20% reduction of TU-RL as of January 1, 2007 and by the increased BrT Móvel market share.

82


Advertising and Marketing

Advertising & marketing expenses totaled R$35.6 million in 2Q07, a 43.4% increase in relation to 1Q07, due to intensive campaigns, especially the Mothers’ Day.

Accounts Receivable Losses (PCCR)/Operating Gross Revenue (ROB)

Accounts Receivable Losses (PCCR) and the gross revenue ratio in 2Q07 was 2.8% , 0.3 p.p. higher than the 2.5% of 1Q07 and totaled R$112.5 million in 2Q07. The increase in the 2Q07 occurred due to the effect of provision for risk of loss related to large customers.

Provisions for Contingencies

In 2Q07, provisions for contingencies totaled R$159.0 million, an R$36.5 million increase compared to 1Q07, primarily due to the tax lawsuits.

Materials

Costs and expenses of materials totaled R$101.7 million in 2Q07, a 31.6% increase compared to 1Q07, mainly due to the high volume of sale of handsets, especially the Mothers’ Day sales. The materials costs and expenses of BrT Móvel totaled R$78.8 million, representing 77.5% of the total costs and expenses of materials recorded by the Group, since the cost of goods sold is accounted for in this item.

In spite of the high sales of mobile phones in 2Q07, the SAC recorded in the second quarter of 2007 was of R$89.7, 8.3% lower than 1Q07 and 41.0% lower than 2Q06, which reflects the level of market subsidy ant the optimization of expenses related to advertising and marketing deriving from the convergence of trademarks.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization costs totaled R$624.9 million in 2Q07, a 3.7% lower than 1Q07, due to an increase in fully depreciated assets.

Other Operating Costs and Expenses/Revenues
