Brasil Telecom’s shareholding structure is as follows:

At the end of 2007, a change occurred in the group of controlling shareholders, with the sale of interest that Telecom Itália held in Solpart, holder of Brasil Telecom. A 38% interest was acquired by Techold.

Brasil Telecom is one of the largest companies in the Latin American telecommunications industry. It provides services in the following areas: fixed line and mobile telephony; data solutions; Internet; video; and data center – a business unit that provides IT and telecommunications infrastructure for other companies. In 2007, Brasil Telecom was the first among Brazilian telecommunications companies—and second in Latin America—to offer IPTV, which allows users to watch audio and video material, access web content, and play online.
In Brazil, Brasil Telecom provides telephony services to millions of Brazilians who live in Region II, which covers the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Tocantins, Acre, Rondônia, and the Federal District. Headquartered in Brasília (DF), and counting on approximately 17 thousand employees, the Company's client base includes 8 million fixed terminals in

service, 4 million mobile connections, 282 thousand public use terminals, and 1.6 million ADSL (broadband) connections.
Internet providers iG, iBest, and BrTurbo, which compose the Internet Group—Brasil Telecom’s Internet unit—, have 1.4 million broadband and 4 million dial-up customers. This figure makes it the third most viewed portal in the country, with over 11.2 million unique residential visitors per month, according to the method that measures Internet access from homes in a given period.
Brasil Telecom Cabos Submarinos (“Globenet”) owns 22 thousand kilometers of undersea cables connecting Brazil with Venezuela, and Bermuda with North America, with landing points in Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Caracas, Miami, New York, and Bermuda. This network strengthens the group’s leading position in the data communication market. The subsidiary Brasil Telecom Comunicação Multimídia operates, in addition to other sites, in the three main cities outside the concession region: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte, with a focus on corporate and business markets. Both companies offer complete nationwide and worldwide solutions, including Cyber Data Centers.
This diversified portfolio makes the operator the first Brazilian telecommunications company capable of meeting market demands in an integrated manner, through converging services.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The adoption of good governance practices is deemed as essential by Brasil Telecom to increasing its credibility, consolidating its corporate image, and adding value. In 2007, Brasil Telecom invested in establishing a new governance standard, supported by four basic principles: clear role delegation and definition; equality in the treatment of shareholders; transparency; and accountability. The goal is make Brasil Telecom a governance benchmark. Among the initiatives adopted, we highlight the following:

• Amendment to the Bylaws: among other features, the establishment of the model of deliberative management for Executive Officers;
• The creation of Technical and Consulting advisory committees and an assessment of the Board of Directors’ performance;
• The implementation of the risk management model; and
• A revision of policies for the disclosure and use of information, and the trading of the Company's securities.

Governance at Brasil Telecom is structured as follows:

Board of Directors
In 2007, Board of Directors activities became regulated by an internal control system, providing a clear definition of its duties and responsibilities, as well as solutions for situations involving conflict of interest. Two technical and consulting committees were established to advise the Board of Directors: (i) the Remuneration and People Development Committee, which analysis matters related to development, compensation, and general human resources policies; and (ii) the Committee of Risks and Processes, which assesses matters related to internal and external auditing and monitors the systems of control and risk management.
The Board of Directors has also decided to perform annual assessments of its performance, and of its members’ performance. The first assessment took place in the first half of 2007.

Executive Officers
Brasil Telecom’s executive officers are responsible for implementing business strategies defined by the Board of Directors and by the Company's operating and financial performance.
With the amendment to the Bylaws, the number of Executive Officers pursuant to the Bylaws increased from four to six, who now make decisions in a deliberative manner, at weekly meetings. This model increases diversity from the point of view of discussions, reduces the risk level, and improves transparency in the Company's decision-making process. Another important creation was the position of Vice President of Governance and New Businesses.

Advisory Committees
In 2007, Brasil Telecom continued its process of improving the efficiency of the Company's management. Among the instruments supporting the decision-making process are the committees. In addition to the Investments and Purchases and Ethics Committees, two new committees were established in 2007: Business Sustainability and Corporate Risk Management.

Shareholders’ Compensation Policy
In accordance with the provisions set forth in Law 6,404/76 and in the Bylaws, Brasil Telecom shareholders are paid dividends and interest on equity of at least 25% of adjusted net income.
Preferred shares are entitled pre-emptive rights in receiving minimum, non-cumulative dividends, and the greater of the following: six percent (6%) per year, calculated over the resulting amount from the division of the capital stock by the total shares of the Company; or three percent (3%) per year, calculated over the resulting amount from the division of the net equity value by the total number of the Company’s shares.
Dividends are paid primarily to preferred shares, up to the preemptive limit. Next, they are paid to common shareholders up to the limit of preferred shares, the balance of which is divided by all shares, in equal conditions.
Dividends provisioned by the Company integrate the proposal of the allocation of results to be submitted to approval by the General Shareholders’ Meeting.

ECONOMIC SCENARIO

The Brazilian economy performed well throughout 2007, with surprising results from the main economic indicators. Increased purchasing power and greater access to financing have been guaranteeing sound results for internal consumption. 2007 GDP grew approximately 4.8%, against 3.6% in 2006.
It is, therefore, an important moment for the national economy, which responded to a combination of macroeconomic stability, maturation of institutional reforms, and a positive external scenario. A country in steady expansion was demonstrated. All of this is a legacy of accomplishments and progress, marked by important reforms, which dated back decades but produced clearer results this year.
The inflation rate at the end of 2007 was close to 4% per year, following a 13-year cycle of low rates and smaller volatility as compared to previous periods. A generation of Brazilians has emerged that, for the first time, had never known price instability and will certainly be intolerant to dramatic change. This new scenario is reflected in interest rates, which continued a declining trend and brought Brazilian actual interest rates to record low levels.
Another change is being felt in the exchange market. The Real appreciated throughout the year, and the Brazilian currency is seeking a new balance at approximately R$1.70 to one USD. This is a reflex of the strong commercial balances and monetary inflows that suggest the emergence of a new Brazil, which is the target for foreign investment.
The actual economy, connected to the productive sector, also responded to stability and microeconomic reforms. The credit market had been the major driver of domestic consumption. Although still smaller when compared to other economies, the greater access to credit and the subsequent growth in the balances of bank

---

loans reflected gains in the well-being of Brazilians. In addition, an active labor market, with growing income and occupation, combined with lower unemployment rates, led to a greatly expanded consumer market in 2007. In this context, the answer from the productive sector, which also includes higher investment levels, points to greater future growth potential.
Finally, growth was also a surprise, exceeding the expected 3.5% and reaching year-end 2007 with nearly 5% GDP expansion. On the supply side, industry and services presented growth above expectation; whereas and on the demand side, the major drivers were family consumption and investment.
Projections for 2008, despite the volatility from the external market—particularly from the American economy—, are of an economy growing at rates close to 4.5%, with inflation in line with targets and the maintenance of a heated demand scenario. All these factors are essential to guaranteeing that 2007 will not have been a mere exception, and that these surprising results will continue in 2008.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Telecom Industry
The telecommunications industry is an important instrument in promoting economic and social development in a given country. A modern and efficient telecommunications platform increases economic productivity more than any other form of infrastructure.
In Brazil, the restructuring of the telecommunications industry, which took place in the mid-1990s, enabled the universalization of the commuted fixed line telephone service, thus increasing its geographical scope, as well as penetration levels, within all household incomes, particularly classes C, D, and E. As for mobile telephony, Brazil underwent an aggressive expansion—evidence of the success of the adopted model. Telecommunications companies have performed their greatest investment plan in history in expansion, modernization, and service quality improvement. Between 2001 and 2006¹, for example, the penetration of fixed line and mobile telephony, as a percentage of homes, increased from 58.9% to 74.5% . Thirty-four thousand locations in Brazil currently have telephone services.
In 2007, wealth generated by the industry represented around 6.5% ² of Brazil’s GDP. The volume of taxes collected represents nearly 40.3% of the net operating revenue of telecom companies—one of the largest tax burdens in the world. R$11.9 billion³ were invested in 2007, employing over 312 thousand people. Following a development cycle in Brazil in which the universalization of fixed line services was the main driver, telecommunications operators are currently focused on providing greater value-added services. This is the case with broadband, which will be the main supporting base for a broad range of content-related services, such as IPTV.
As a result of this development, Brazil has also enjoyed a significant expansion of the Internet. The computer-per-household ratio increased from just 12.6% in 2001 to 22.1% in 2006⁴. In addition, the number of computers connected to the Internet in the same period increased from 8.6% to 16.9% . According to expert studies, Brazil has the third largest Internet market in the Americas, behind only the United States and Canada.
In the last few years, the General Telecommunications Law (LGT) and industry regulations enabled the expansion of the telecommunications industry in Brazil and the diversification of services provided by operators in the Country. However, for a new development cycle to occur, the industry expects an updated regulatory framework, since Brazil cannot be prevented from fully exploring the advantages of technological convergence as a consequence of the model becoming outdated.
With the existence of an up-to-date and predictable regulatory framework that stimulates competition and new investments, the industry tends to respond to challenges proposed by the country—as occurred with the universalization of services (fixed line and mobile)—during the period immediately preceding privatization.

Regulatory Environment
By 2007, the General Telecommunications Law had been in existence for ten years. During this period, its main accomplishments—besides structuring the privatization process—were: the reorganization of public- and private-regime services; the universalization of fixed line services; the promotion of increased mobile service; and the definition of basic competition principles.
However, it is apparent that the current regulatory framework is becoming inadequate in dealing with the current industry situation. Means of communication are changing and multiplying, provoking important changes in the business models used by the industry as a whole. Convergence is already the reality in the world’s main markets, where telecom operators offer the so-called Triple (or Quadruple) Play package: a bundled offer of fixed and mobile services, data, and video. The regulatory framework has to be updated, focusing on the promotion of fair competition in the converging market, network expansion for content distribution, incentives to innovation, diversification of offers, and new investments, creating the conditions for digital inclusion in Brazil.
As for regulation, the National Agency for Telecommunications (ANATEL), a regulatory body, has introduced or updated the Regulations for the Remuneration of Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN), Portability Regulations, and the Regulations of Personal Mobile Services (SMP), as well as making available the Public Consulting to the Cost of Capital Rule (WACC).

With regard to radiofrequencies grants, ANATEL undertook the following initiatives, among others:

• Bidding for 3.5 and 10.5 GHz (WiMAX): this bidding, which started in 2006, was suspended with the request of the Brazilian Court of Auditors (TCU), since the minimum prices required revision. There are also discussions involving the possibility of concessionaires taking part in their operating areas;
• Bidding for leftovers of the Personal Mobile Service (SMP) Radiofrequency Spectrum;
• 3G bidding (Third Generation of Mobile Telephony): The publication was submitted to public consultation and approved by Anatel, and bidding took place between December 18 and 20, 2007. The bidding results were granted on December 31, 2007; and
• The Federal Government, by means of Decree 6,155, revised the General Target Plan for the Universalization of the PSTN under Public Regime. The revision established new installation terms for Telecommunication Services Centers (PSTs) and Cooperative Service Units (UACs) located in rural areas. Remaining active are agreements with the Federal Government and ANATEL aimed at the optional replacement of PST goals for the transmission infrastructure to offer broadband services in cities that do not currently have these services.

In the second quarter, Brazil Telecom executed the Term for Universalization Obligations using resources from the Fund for the Universalization of Telecommunication Services (FUST) related to the Project of Servicing Institutions for the Aid of Impaired People, according to the previously established goals in the Universalization Target Plan. This was the first project to be financed by FUST since its inception.
Another important event was the approval by ANATEL of Numeric Portability in fixed line and mobile telephony. In order to make this change feasible, several initiatives were adopted, including the creation of an Executive Group to Implement Portability (GIP), and the selection of a Management Entity (EA), which will be responsible for operating this service. Brasil Telecom has been taking part actively in GIP, contributing to its adequate implementation in the Company and in the industry.

Strategic Guidelines
Long-term scenario analyses clearly show that the main drivers of change in the industry for years to come will be: fixed-mobile replacement; growth and consolidation of broadband as the main access in customers’ homes; growing demand for electronic content, leveraged by digital TV; and the breaking of barriers that used to separate various sectors, leading to converging operators (multiservice providers). It is worth mentioning the role of new technologies as well, which will contribute to removing nearly all the barriers that prevent broader competition.

Strategic Priorities
Meet customer needs by means of convergent and integrated services. In compliance with customer needs, Brasil Telecom offers integrated service packages: Triple Play and Quadruple Play. The company offers a broad portfolio of services, including fixed and mobile services, video, broadband Internet, solutions for corporate data communication (including Cyber Data Center), and Internet service.
Provide high-quality service. Armed with the knowledge that customers are the main source of income, we will seek means of meeting and exceeding customer expectations, both in the services offered and in managing customer relationships with the Company.
Expand the mobile service, ensuring profitability. Although Brasil Telecom was the fourth player to enter the mobile telephony in its region, its operations have been very successful. Profitability is ensured by national synergy, reductions in the subsidies of handsets, and the offering of fixed-mobile services customized to meet customers’ needs. The intranet traffic incentive reduces interconnection costs. With 3G technology, innovative applications will enable an increase in the share of these new services in Brasil Telecom’s revenues.
Be an interactive media provider, promoting unique experiences in the IP environment. In order to attain this goal, Internet Group—Brasil Telecom’s Internet business unit, which includes the activities of Internet providers iG, iBest, and BrTurbo—follows a strict strategy of unifying its management, combining platforms and services, diversifying content (games, music, videos, etc.), and investing in interactivity projects and convergence with the IP environment. The goal is to become the leading brand in Internet media.
Focus and strengthen customer relationships. Customer relationships have been developed based on the “customer experience chain” concept, which continuously manages and assesses all eventual points of contact between the customer and Brasil Telecom. Intelligent market segmentation ensures that every customer segment gets adequate and specialized service to meet its needs. Monthly surveys are carried out with the purpose of continuously assessing the efficiency of the process and levels of customer satisfaction, and of ensuring continuous relationship enhancement.
Offer unique new services, taking advantage of the opportunity to use emerging technologies. Brasil Telecom is the only Brazilian operator to take part in important international groups for technological definition, such as FMCA and TISPAN. Brasil Telecom is one of the founding members of FMCA (Fixed-Mobile Convergence Alliance), a world reference group for fixed-mobile converging services. TISPAN (Telecommunications & Internet Converged Services & Protocols for Advanced Networks) is the main global entity for the standardization of fixed line architecture technological evolution.

A NEW COMPANY FOR A NEW KIND OF CUSTOMER

2007 entered Brasil Telecom’s history books as the Year of the Customer. In a much-commented decision, Brasil Telecom’s management resolved to make customers the center of its decisions. Operating in a market as competitive as telephony, the management decided to make Brasil Telecom unique in the quality of services provided, becoming a benchmark in the industry. The goal is to acquire and retain customers, establishing long-lasting relationships as a result. With this in mind, the entire company mobilized around the “Ryan Project”, whose name clearly defines its challenge: to recover our customers, offering services that meet and exceed their needs.
In order to accomplish this mission, Brasil Telecom sought out for the necessary abilities and resources. Work began with an external diagnosis, which pointed out weaknesses and room for improvement. From there, sixty initiatives were defined, including personnel training and reaction improvement; the revision of internal processes, and the development of new products in line with customer expectations. In summary, it is a revolution in the Company's culture.
Project Ryan has as its premise the effective participation of the Company's higher management in matters related to customer service quality. The project is led by the Executive Committee, with the participation of all areas involved in the customer relations front, and integrates the group of strategic projects prioritized and systematically monitored by the Company's CEO.

BrT Call Center and excellence in service
One of the most important outcomes of this venture was the decision made by Brasil Telecom’s management to establish a new company to take over its entire service operation. With the creation of the subsidiary, called Brasil Telecom Call Center, the Company will manage all customer relation processes. Behind this decision is the view that, in order to have excellence in service, people in contact with customers must have “Brasil Telecom’s philosophy” in mind.
To support this movement, Brasil Telecom invested close to R$50 million in service infrastructure and technologies, with a highlight on the completion of the Goiânia call center, one of the most modern in Brazil, with 14 thousand sq. m. and an installed capacity of 2,100 call attendants.
Brasil Telecom also maintains call centers in the cities of Florianópolis (SC), Campo Grande (MS), and Curitiba (PR), with a total capacity of 5,400 attendants, offering customers various service channels: information services 102; post-sales for fixed lines; mobile and broadband services; sales and credit recovery services; physical service in stores; and an Ombudsman’s office, in addition to the electronic channels “Fale Conosco” (Talk to Us), “Chat”, and “Website”, available as an option to Internet users.
Brasil Telecom also invested in the development and training of its customer service personnel, using the nationally-recognized tools of e-learning.

OUR PEOPLE
Brasil Telecom has built its people management process on the principle that employees are its most valuable asset. Well-prepared and committed professionals are decisive in obtaining results. However, in order to attract and retain these talents, one must invest in formation, develop their potentialities, and recognize their achievements.
An example of the degree to which Brasil Telecom trusts its staff was the decision to provide customer service internally. This initiative resulted in a significant increase in the number of employees, closing 2007 at 16 thousand people. The strategy is in line with the Company's intense pursuit of excellence in consumer relations. The success of the task depends on a team that is well-versed in the company’s values and goal, which are based on transparency and respect for customers.

Companies providing services to Brasil Telecom employed 32,713 people at the end of 2007 in: the maintenance and operation of internal and external facilities, housekeeping, security, corporate security, and information systems maintenance.

Attraction and Retention of High-Performance Professionals

Attraction Programs
The Internship Program is still the main point of entry for young people beginning a career. In 2007, 221 university students were interns in the Company.
Another important investment aimed at attracting professionals was the re-opening of Brasil Telecom’s Trainee Program. Seventeen young professionals were hired to work at the Headquarters beginning in 2008, following a thorough selection process among approximately one thousand candidates.
We chose professionals with traits that value, particularly, the spirit of serving with excellence. Throughout 2008, the new graduates will undergo a consistent development program involving job rotation (working in various areas), monitoring by tutors and mentors; and training programs focused on management in partnership with an institution renowned locally and internationally.
Brasil Telecom’s goal is also to attract professionals with international experience. To this end, since 2002 it has invested in the Summer Program, which has already brought together ten Brazilian professionals who attended an MBA course in first-tier overseas universities (the best according to Business Week ranking) to work on the Company’s strategic projects during their summer vacations. The retention ratio of these professionals in leadership positions is fifty per cent upon course completion.

Retention Programs
Brasil Telecom considers the effective management of high-performance professionals a strategic and competitive advantage, and uses this strategy to retain them as Company employees. In this context, in 2007 the BrT Potentials Management program was created, which consists of initiatives divided into three pillars. These initiatives are implemented soon after the unique professionals are identified.

i) Development: The preparation of an individualized program to leverage and supply the professional’s potential, either through training programs, or by allocating these executives to challenging projects;
ii) Acknowledgement: The adoption of unique acknowledgement practices, emphasizing the value of meritocracy by paying variable remuneration and awarding superior performance; and
iii) Relationship: The definition of mechanisms that narrow the distance between the high-performance professional and the various levels of the organization, expanding his or her relationship network and access to strategic information. In addition, Brasil Telecom encourages the participation of all of its employees in the internal career change program, for it believes that a consistent offering of opportunities motivates and retains aspiring professionals.

Education and Development
Brasil Telecom’s education process aims to promote the necessary abilities to reach results, enabling employees to perform their tasks equipped with full technical knowledge. To this end, Brasil Telecom makes use of the following education and development channels:

• E-learning Portal: 400 online courses are available at the portal for professional self-development, including content related to products, services, systems, processes, and procedures, in addition to an integration program for new employees.
• BrTV: corporate channel that broadcasts institutional, technical, and behavior-related content to Brasil Telecom employees.
• Virtual Classroom: allows for the simultaneous tutoring of students remotely connected to a virtual instructor.

The Company also invests in the technical education of its employees, offering, since 2005, the Professional Masters Degree Program with emphasis on telecommunications in partnership with Brasília University. This master’s degree, which is fully customized to meet Brasil Telecom’s needs, aims to qualify our professionals in technological trends in years to come. The major benefit of the master’s degree is the generation and later implementation of cutting-edge projects in the areas of Engineering and Systems, which drive our business.
Despite all the investments in training our employees, Brasil Telecom believes that leadership is the main motivator for team development. Therefore, it invests in programs that offer unique training for its managers, with a special highlight on the Management Development Program. This program is targeted at strengthening the Company's values, and accelerates the development of managerial abilities, thus ensuring the acquisition and enhancement of the abilities necessary to achieve strategic goals. In 2007, 400 formal leaders completed the first step of the Program, which consisted of building Brasil Telecom’s management model in a shared manner. This model guides all the development activities of the Company's managers, and is based in a number of leadership abilities deemed as essential to place the Company at the market’s forefront.

Acknowledgement
At Brasil Telecom, superior-performance employees are rewarded financial incentives and corporate awards.

Awards Program
Since 2000, the People in the Spotlight Program has acknowledged employees, who, individually or in a team, implemented projects that made a difference both through their innovative and creative characteristics and through the results achieved. Categories and awards are reviewed for each cycle, ensuring that they remain in line with the Company's strategy. Acknowledgement is made in an official ceremony with the attendance of the CEO and executive officers.
Implemented in 2002, the Sales Charge Program has been exceeding expectations; therefore, it is reissued every year with a different theme. The 2007 appeal carried the title: “Negócios da China” (“Bargain Deal”), and will award winning employees with trips to China for the Beijing Olympic games. The program, whose purpose is to promote sales, presents monthly awards to the best in each branch, in addition to awarding all the salespeople who have met their proposed challenges.

Financial Incentives
The purpose of the Bonus Program is to acknowledge all executives for achieving the strategic goals set forth for the year. The program is reviewed and approved annually, and is based on market surveys, guidance by the Board of Directors, and Brasil Telecom’s strategic positioning. It is targeted at managers and is a result of the unfolding of Brasil Telecom’s targets. The bonus is given as a means of guiding the perception and activities of managers, as well as rewarding them for achieving the goals defined by the Company. With the same philosophy in mind, Brasil Telecom acknowledges other employees (not managers) by means of the PSP: Profit Sharing Program.

Brasil Telecom also uses a stock option program as a financial acknowledgement tool. This program aims to converge the long-term interests and targets of the Company and its executives; to retain strategic employees; and to provide guidance for a long-lasting business vision. To this end, the Company currently maintains two programs:
i) The 2000 Program granted stock options for the Company's preferred shares, in 2002, 2003, and 2004, to a group of senior executives, 21 of whom are still with the Company. Executives are already entitled to exercise all options granted thereto, with the exception of the last lot, which may be exercised as of January 2008.
ii) The 2007 Program granted stock options for a basket of Company-preferred and common shares to a group of 65 senior executives. The options have a grace period of one year, and only 25% of the options may be exercised each year.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Serving an extensive customer base with distinct needs—such as residential subscribers and corporate customers—will always be challenging. Over the past years, Brasil Telecom has stood out for its capacity to innovate its supply, and was the first the launch products such as: IPTV (transmission of movies on-demand using the broadband platform); the nico (a mobile phone that transmits signals to the fixed line network while in the residential environment, thus reducing costs for the subscriber); and the Pula-Pula (free minutes in function of the volume of incoming calls), among others.
In 2007, over 885 thousand customers were added to mobile operations and 250 thousand to the broadband service, totaling—jointly with fixed line operations—a customer base of over 13 million customers: a growth of 5.7% year-on-year.

Fixed line
In 2007, competition increased from both paid-TV companies and mobile operators that had positioned themselves in the market with alternative plans and solutions for traditional fixed line telephony.
We also observed a continuous reduction in the penetration of fixed lines, a consequence of fixed-mobile migration. This change was accelerated by a reduction in the price-per-minute charged by mobile operators, associated with a strong presence of mobile operators in mass media.
At the end of 2007, Brasil Telecom’s terminal network was composed of 10.4 million installed lines, 8 million of which were in service, as follows:

Indicators – Fixed line network

NETWORK		2007		2006		Variation
Lines Installed (in thousands)		10,376		10,423		-0.4%
Lines in Service – LES (in thousands)		8,034		8,418		-4.6%
Average Lines in Service – LMES (in thousands)		8,049		8,520		-5.5%
LES/100 Inhabitants		18.2		19.4		-6.0%
TUP/1,000 Inhabitants		6.4		6.4		-
TUP/100 Installed Lines		2.7		2.7		-
Utilization Rate		77.4%		80.8%		-3.3 p.p.
Digitalization Rate		100%		100%		-

Given this scenario, Brasil Telecom focused its activities on the maintenance and profitability of its terminal base, as well as on the expansion of products and alternative plans offered.

Among the alternative plans offered, the highlight is the “Conta Completa” (Full Bill) plan, which leveraged sales of alternative plans with participations above 60% in the 2007 sales mix. This plan allows customers to choose the amount of minutes according to their usage profile, for each type of call: local fixed line, to mobile phones, and long-distance calls.
In the economic plans segment, the “Controle Total” (Total Control) plan was created, a 100% prepaid plan with monthly billing and minutes that may be used both in local fixed-mobile calls within Brasil Telecom’s network and between fixed line telephones of any operator. In addition, there is the possibility of topping up via the Cartão nico (Single Card) in the amounts of R$15, R$20, R$30, and R$60.
In addition, plans have been created to assist customer retention, with the new offers called “Brasil Total” and “Brasil Total Negócios” (Brazil Total Business), with packages that include local fixed lines, long-distance, intelligent services, mobile telephony, and broadband.
In compliance with ANATEL’s Resolution 423, Brasil Telecom successfully concluded, on July 31, 2007, the complex implementation of the conversion in billing, from pulses to minutes, for local calls between fixed lines. This change in billing enabled the Company to offer its customers an easier way to monitor and control their expenses, and to make better use of the advantages of alternative minutes consumption plans.
Proceeding with the strategies of promoting the adoption of alternative plans, and approaching the market in an increasingly segmented manner, at the end of 2007 Brasil Telecom had 3.5 million lines in alternative local fixed line plans, representing 44.1% of lines in service, as follows:

Alternative Local Fixed Line Plans

Brasil Telecom maintained its leading position in the long-distance market, and recorded an average market share of 90.0% in the intra-regional segment and 84.80% in the inter-regional segment. The Company closed the year with a 64.0% market share in the inter-regional segment and 38.6% in the international segment.

The highlights in long-distance plans are: “14 Simples” (Simple 14), with 30 minutes for domestic long-distance calls; “14 Meu Perfil” (14 My Profile), with different tariffs for in-state calls; and “14 Minhas Cidades” (14 My Cities), with discounted tariffs for three cities chosen by the customer.

Tariffs
With regard to 2007 tariffs, ANATEL authorized Brasil Telecom to adjust tariff items in the Basic Plans of Local and Domestic Long-Distance (DLD) Services, pursuant to the Concession Agreements. Average adjustments authorized for the local and DLD services amounted to 2.14% . The Local Network Use Tariff (TU-RL) was adjusted by 2.14% and the Interurban Network Use Tariff (TU-RIU) was reduced by 0.13% . Basic PSTN Plans, Local and DLD, for calls involving mobile phones, VC-1, VC-2, and VC-3 were adjusted by 3.29%, as of July 20, 2007.

Mobile Telephony
By the time it completed three years of operation, Brasil Telecom Móvel had reached over four million subscribers. Although Brasil Telecom Móvel was the fourth-largest operator providing service in the region with the greatest penetration rates in Brazil—Region II—the Company's goal has always been to be the leading integrated operator offering all telecom solutions to the customers in its operation area. The total number of connections grew 36%, whereas the Brazilian market grew, on average, 21%.
During 2007, Brasil Telecom implemented coverage to 54 new locations, and now serves a total of 873 locations, or 87% of Region II’s population, representing an increase of 6.6% year-on-year. In addition, several expansions have been performed to previously-served locations.
In the Northern and Mid-Western states (Area 7), Brasil Telecom Móvel occupies third position in market share in six states: the Federal District, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Tocantins, Acre, and Rondônia. In other states, the Company holds fourth place.
In 2007, the number of gross additions to Brasil Telecom Móvel reached 2.6 million connections, due mainly to the quality of services provided and to Brasil Telecom’s vocation for innovative solutions. The following offers were launched in this period: “Fale de Graça no Orelhão” (Talk for Free from Public Phones), “Fale de Graça à Noite” (Talk for Free at Night), and “Fale de Graça aos Domingos” (Talk for Free on Sundays), through which Brasil Telecom Móvel’s customers may place free calls to Brasil Telecom’s fixed and mobile terminals. The inclusion of the lines in service of Brasil Telecom Fixa as possible destinations for these calls increased the number of possible connections from around 4.3 million (total BrT Móvel customers) to approximately 12.3 million (total mobile and fixed line customers).
Aiming to increase revenues from mobile data communication, new functionalities were created by means of Internet services and content, such as Orkut (social networking), Glu (games), Som Licre (music), and Discovery.
The Company also executed partnership agreements with content companies, such as Dada.net, Blinko, Spin My Mobile, Flycell, Ligaki, Memo, Sony Pictures, Neo Network, and Móbile Streams, in addition to making the e-mail package “Escritório Móvel” (Mobile Office) available through Nokia’s Intellisynk solution. Several offers and initiatives have been made to services and content already available to customers. The initiatives generated discounts for multimedia messages and prizes resulting from cultural contests, such as the m-Encontra service promotion, in which customers could win cruises to the Brazilian Northeast.
By the end of 2007, Brasil Telecom counted on 3,017 points of sale, distributed among 28 own stores, 35 kiosks, 683 authorized agents, and 2,271 resellers in the main retailer chains, as well as 76 top-up distributors, serving approximately 120 thousand active points of sale.

Tariffs
The tariff adjustment contributed to the increase in Brasil Telecom Móvel’s revenues. In 2007, postpaid plans were adjusted 5.7%, without, however, affecting their competitiveness.

Evolution of Mobile Accesses

Data Communication
Brasil Telecom added 250.1 thousand broadband (ADSL) connections to its network, totaling 1,567.8 thousand connections by the end of the year: a growth of 19% year-on-year. The 19.5% penetration rate of these connections over fixed lines in service, the greatest among fixed line concessionaires in the country, is a strategic support for the offering of new services and applications.
Continuous growth in broadband Internet services was maintained throughout the year, supported by the expansion of the Turbo portfolio (commercial name of ADSL) with the launching of three new standard connection speeds: 2MB, 4MB, and 8MB, as well as higher speeds on-demand, based on ADSL 2+ technology, and through the offer of quadruple play packages in partnership with Sky. These speeds aim to meet the demand for new tools and audio and video content, typical of Web 2.0 available to users. More than half of the 1,565 locations served with broadband already possess ADSL 2+ technology, and will provide customers with access to new services, such as IPTV.

ADSL Connections

Brasil Telecom has also expanded its range of options for dial-up access to the Internet, which is the entrance portal to broadband service. In 2007, the Company created plans that enabled dial-up access to the Internet with fixed monthly payments, such as “Internet Toda Hora” (Internet All the Time) and “PC Conectado” (Connected PC). The latter is an alternative commuted fixed line plan that supports the Federal Government’s Projeto Cidadão Conectado: Computador Para Todos – Connected Citizen project: Computers for Everyone, to promote the digital inclusion of lower-income households. The plan offers, in addition to voice services—another service that is specific to dial-up access to the Internet—at very low prices, allowing users to expand their habit of accessing the Internet beyond reduced-tariff hours.
In addition, in 2007 Brasil Telecom offered its customers mobile broadband access with the 2G EDGE technology. Next year, this service will be offered in 3G (1.8 GHz and 2.1GHz) . Fiber optic solutions for broadband Internet access, FTTH and FTTB (Fiber to the Home and Fiber to the Building), have been installed in Brasília and Porto Alegre. As a supplement to the fixed system (mainly ADSL), wireless high-speed Internet access systems (WiMAX) were installed in Curitiba, Porto Alegre, and São Paulo.

Converging Products
Convergence has come into demand from a wide variety of consumers. In view of this, Brasil Telecom has been investing the development of converging solutions for fixed and mobile; and broadband and video services. This year, we signed a partnership with Sky, which allowed the Company to offer packages including Digital Paid-TV.

Telefone Único: An innovative solution in Brazil and in the world that uses CTP (Cordless Telephony Profile) technology, allowing for fixed and mobile voice services to be used in the same mobile handset. With the product, Brasil Telecom builds loyalty with customers in the fixed telephony base; increases its market share in mobile telephony, offering new value-added services; promotes the sale of postpaid plans; and maximizes the efficiency of the fixed line and mobile networks.
Cartão Único: This card enables customers, through the acquisition of top-ups (R$15, R$20, R$30, and R$60), to recharge in all prepaid services, fixed terminals (AICE, Total Control, and Ligmix), and mobile terminals of Brasil Telecom.
PABX Virtual nico: PABX Virtual nico is a converging solution to meet corporate needs. With it, the customer no longer has acquisition, operation and maintenance costs over PABX equipment, since the entire infrastructure is housed by Brasil Telecom. With this, the Company was the first operator to converge fixed and mobile lines in branches.
Quadruple Play – Sky Partnership: In this commercial partnership with SKY, Brasil Telecom offers packages including fixed line and mobile services, broadband, and Digital Paid-TV. This offer consolidated throughout 2007 as a competitive advantage against other Triple Play offers by the competition. The package accounts for approximately 10% of all Brasil Telecom broadband sales.

Internet Providers
The relevance of the Internet in Brazil is represented by the increase in single visitors and connection times. With approximately 21.4 million Internet users, we are the leading country in time spent online. According to Ibope/NetRatings, residential Internet users spend an average of 23 hours online per month. In response to this scenario, advertising investment on the Internet is expected to grow 30% in 2007, according to estimates by the Inter-Meios project.
With an eye on market changes, Internet Group, Brasil Telecom’s business unit, intends to become the leading brand in interactive media. The goal is to reach this target through investments in interactivity from the extension of the current products and services platform.
Internet Group, which includes the activities of Internet providers iG, iBest, and BrTurbo, is the largest Internet provider in Brazil, with 4 million users of free dial-up connections; and the second largest broadband Internet provider in the Brazilian market, with 1.34 million paying subscribers at the end of 2007. Traffic generated by connected customers reached 44.6 billion minutes in 2007. iBest and iG accounted for 66.8% of the minutes of Region II in the first eleven months of 2007, positioning Internet Group as market leader in the region. As for broadband, the group grew by 27% in number of subscribers year-on-year. Of all broadband customers in Region II, 69% are estimated to be customers of iG or BrTurbo, positioning the company as the region’s market leader.
The paying customer base of Internet Group’s value-added services grew 134% between 2006 and 2007, reaching 750 thousand customers. This increase was led by products aimed at residential consumers, among them Protégé (antivirus), Resolve (24/7 technical support by phone), and Educa (content product targeted at family education).
According to Ibope/NetRatings, in December, 2007, Internet Group ranked third place among its main national competitors, with over 11.2 million single residential visitors, representing an annual growth of 43%. 2007 was a year marked by the launching of the new portal and new channels, such as Celebridades (Celebrities), Tecnologia (Technology), Eu na Web (Me on the Web), and others.
For iG, the Internet user plays the main role, and this is why the portal launched, in early 2006, the campaign “O mundo é de quem faz” (The world belongs to those who make it), introducing the concept of leadership by the masses. Minha Notícia (My News), created in June of that year, was the first Internet space in Brazil created for so-called Citizen- or Participative Journalism, which is considered a global trend, and places the portal ahead of other Brazilian Internet portals. In line with this proposal, iG makes several tools available to Internet users, such as blogs and MinhaTviG, which allows users to create, edit, and distribute content.

The portal—focusing on the continuous innovation of products and services—created in 2007, for the first time on the Internet, the position of ombudsman; it launched the Essay Manual of the online newspaper, which pursues greater transparency in the processes and standards used to verify, edit, and publish news; and established partnerships with Google and Kaizen Games. The unique partnership in the Brazilian market with Google enables iG to offer its subscribers and users cutting-edge products and services, such as e-mail and a search engine. As for e-mail, the Google partnership extended Gmail to 7.8 million iG e-mail accounts. For its part, the association with Kaizen Games enabled iG to bring the virtual world of Second Life to Brazil. Second Life, which already has 11.9 million residents worldwide and 644 thousand participants in Brazil, expands the concept of a game to the parallel virtual universe, promoting the creation of communities.
iG’s successful results come not only from internal efforts in developing content, technological platforms, products, and services, but also from the continuous focus in meeting the needs of subscribers and Internet users.

VIDEON: THE FUTURE ON YOUR TV

Brasil Telecom works to enhance the experience of customers throughout their entire relationship with the Company: from the advertising campaign; through all the stages of obtaining the service, using the service, and billing; to loyalty building.
It was through thinking of its customers’ comfort and reassuring its commitment to offering innovative services as a converging operator that Brasil Telecom launched, in 2007, the first Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service. Named Videon, the product distributed, through the Company’s ADSL 2+ broadband infrastructure, audiovisual content over Internet Protocol.
The service is initially being offered in Brasília, but it will be expanded to the main capitals and cities in the region where Brasil Telecom operates in 2008.
Videon is a cutting-edge product that revolutionizes the way audiences watch TV. It offers a library of audiovisual content, composed of unique content such as movies, documentaries, concerts, children’s shows, and cultural shows. With similar functions to a DVD device, the service offers approximately 500 hours of programming, which may be enjoyed at any time, regardless of the programming schedule.
The Company has signed partnerships with international providers, among them MGM, Disney, Universal, DLA, Playboy, Turner, and Viacom (Nicklodeon and VH1), in addition to agreements with Brazilian producers such as TV Cultura, Lumiére, SESC TV, the Ministry of Education, and TV Escola. There are other ongoing negotiations aimed at further improving content offered and increasing the range of options to customers.
In addition to local movie rental, Brasil Telecom also provides Videon customers with the so-called Subscription Video on Demand (SVoD), which is the rental of specific content, grouped by theme or TV series, such as educational programming, children’s shows and documentaries.
The IPTV offer has only been possible because Brasil Telecom possesses the most complete high-speed network among all fixed line and mobile operators in Brazil. With Videon, the Company reached a new technological level. The greatest beneficiary is the customer, who can, according to his or her profile, design a programming schedule and use an even wider range of services.
Current legislation forbids the Company from offering regular paid-TV channels to its concession area. Pending a change in this law, however, Brasil Telecom is prepared to expand its service.

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenue
Brasil Telecom’s gross revenue totaled R$15,997.4 million in 2007, an increase of 5.9% year-on-year. The increase in participation of data communication services and mobile telephony show the success of the Company's revenue diversification strategy.

Gross Revenue Breakdown (R$ million)

Fixed line Average Revenue per User (ARPU)—excluding data communication—totaled R$79 in 2007, up 11% from 2006, as a result of the Company's strategy to restrain fixed line revenue erosion. Including data communication, ARPU recorded in 2007 totaled R$98.5, showing continuous growth in ADSL penetration.

Page 13

---

Revenue from Data Communication and Mobile Telephony

Gross revenue from data communication and other services of the main activity reached R$2,769.2 million, an increase of 22.3% year-on-year. This increase is due mainly to the larger ADSL customer base, which posted a growth of 19%.
ADSL recorded an ARPU of R$71.7 in 2007, an increase of 6.9% year-on-year, as a result of its strategy to prioritize the sale of the products with the highest profitability and fastest connection speeds.
Consolidated gross revenue from services with mobile telephony was up 41.9% from 2006. The increase results from the “full bill”, and especially from the growth in the mobile base.
The “full bill” model, implemented by ANATEL in early 2006 to regulate interconnections between mobile operators, determines that all calls should be charged. Previously, calls were only charged when the difference between operators’ outgoing and incoming traffic was greater than 55%.
Total ARPU for mobile telephony continues to be one of the greatest in the country, at R$34.2 in 2007. Postpaid ARPU was R$52.6, and prepaid ARPU amounted to R$28.5. The improved profitability was also the result of commercial policies where the main advantage offered to Brasil Telecom’s customers were discounts in minutes for intranet calls, while outgoing calls to other operators were charged at competitive rates.

Operating Costs and Expenses
In 2007, operating costs and expenses totaled R$7,244.3 million, an increase of 6.7% when compared to the R$6,791.5 million recorded in 2006, due primarily to increases in interconnection expenses (which followed the revenue growth), provisions and losses, and other commercial expenses.

Operating Costs and Expenses
(Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)

In 2007, personnel costs and expenses amounted to R$644.3 million, a drop of 2.7% year-on-year. By the end of 2007, 16,769 people were employed at Brasil Telecom, 5,287 of whom were employees in the fixed telephony, data, and Internet providers segment; 616 at Brasil Telecom Móvel; and 10,866 became employees of the Company in December, when customer services became an internal area.
Costs and expenses with outsourced services, excluding interconnection, advertising, and marketing, totaled R$2,262.1 million in 2007, nearly stable as compared to the previous year’s figures, reflecting the Company's strategy to control outsourcing expenses. It is worth mentioning the bid opened by Brasil Telecom to choose a single partner for the maintenance of the fixed line, mobile, and data communication networks. This model, the only one in the world on such a scale, will be implemented in early 2008, and aims to explore the scale effects in the operations of the supplier, and, subsequently, to reduce network maintenance costs.
Interconnection costs totaled R$2,318.9 million at the end of 2007, an increase of 9.6%, due to growth in the customer base of mobile operators, and to the integral impact of “full bill”, partially offset by the 20% reduction in TU-RL, as of January 1, 2007, and by the increase in Brasil Telecom Móvel’s market share.
Advertising and marketing expenses totaled R$164.4 million in 2007, an increase of 10.3% year-on-year, reflecting the focus on advertising expenses for the acquisition of mobile customers. Despite the increase in this item, mobile SAC showed strict control over expenses with subsidies and commissions.
Costs and expenses with materials and goods totaled R$380.2 million in 2007, a reduction of 7.7% year-on-year, reflecting smaller expenses with the Cost of Goods Sold, despite an increase in mobile handset sales.
Losses and provisions for losses with accounts receivable (PCCR) over gross revenue, at the end of 2007, stood at 2.2%, and totaled R$348 million, with a reduction of 9.5%, due to stricter criteria for loan granting and greater billing efficiency.

Page 15

---

In 2007, provisions for labor, tax, and civil liabilities amounted to R$649.7 million, an increase of R$162.5 million year-on-year, due primarily to indexation and to the increase in the risk of losses for labor, civil, and tax claims.
Depreciation and amortization costs totaled R$2,465.0 million in 2007, 9.4% below 2006, due to the increase in fully depreciated assets.
Other operating costs and expenses amounted to R$476.8 million in 2007, up 33.7% from 2006. This increase resulted from 2006 non-recurrent expenses, such as R$58.4 million related to state and federal tax recovery, and R$53.1 million in agreements executed with other telephony operators for litigation assignment.

EBITDA
Brasil Telecom’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$3,814.2 million at the end of 2007 (composed of operating profit – R$735.8 million, plus expenses with depreciation and amortization – R$2,464.9 million, and financial expenses, net – R$613.5 million). The consolidated EBIDA margin stood at 34.5% in the period, against 34% in 2006.

EBITDA (R$ million) and EBITDA Margin (%)

It is worth mentioning that in 2007, mobile operation started generating positive EBTIDA for Grupo Brasil Telecom. Mobile EBITDA increased from negative R$14.3 million in 2006 (negative 11.4% margin) to R$53.9 million in 2007 (3.1% margin).
The R$53.9 million of mobile EBITDA (negative R$142.3 million in 2006) is composed of operating losses – R$271.4 million (R$511.7 million in 2006), plus expenses with depreciation and amortization – R$385.9 million (R$335 million in 2006), less financial expenses, net – R$60.6 million (R$34.4 million of financial expenses, net, added in 2006).

Net Income
Brasil Telecom recorded a net income of R$797.3 million in 2007, equivalent to R$1.4568 per share. Net income per ADR in 2007 amounted to US$10.9974.

Indebtedness
At the end of 2007, Brasil Telecom’s consolidated gross debt totaled R$4,383.4 million, 88.7% of which was allocated to the long-term.
On April 17, 2007, Brasil Telecom S.A. exercised its option of advance redemption set forth in the Deed of the 4th Issue of Debentures, the 3rd Public Issue, as informed to debenture holders on March 28, 2007. A total of R$521.1 million were disbursed to pay for the redemption of all debentures.
Brasil Telecom closed 2007 with a balance of cash and other investments in public and fixed income securities in the amount of R$2,430.6 million, against cash and investments in the amount of R$2,631 million at the end of 2006. Consolidated net debt reached R$1,952.8 million, accounting for 51.2% of EBITDA.
In 2007, debt pegged to exchange rate variation, not taking into account hedge adjustments, totaled R$731.6 million, R$395 million of which was in USD, R$94.7 million in the BNDES currency basket, and R$241.9 million in Yen. In 2007, Brasil Telecom was hedged against 80.6% of the debt pegged to exchange rate variation, resulting in a total exposition of only 3.6% of the total debt.

CAPEX
In 2007, Brasil Telecom’s CAPEX totaled R$1,398.8 million, R$1,120.0 million of which were invested in fixed line services (including voice, data, information technology, and regulation), and R$278.8 million in mobile telephony. When compared to 2006, investments posted a reduction of 3.6%, due mainly to the effects of exchange rate variations, reductions in regulatory investments, and a continuous renegotiation with suppliers.

MANAGEMENT OF CORPORATE RISKS

It is Brasil Telecom’s opinion that risk management is an essential part of good corporate governance practices. The goal is to preserve business integrity, as well as the integrity of material and financial assets. The Governance Model for the Management of Corporate Risks is based on the following pillars:

Page 18

---

Risk Factors Monitoring

Strategic Risk
The trend of partial substation of fixed line traffic to mobile telephony is currently being studied by Brasil Telecom. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company has defined the development of new paths for growth as one of the pillars for its business strategy, having as its main initiative the acceleration of revenue growth both in mobile telephony and data transmission.

Financial and Market Risk
Brasil Telecom’s loan and financing operations are subject to market risks, among which are the variation in interest rates, inflation, and the exchange rate, which are constantly monitored by the Company.
In order to mitigate exchange rate risk, Brasil Telecom has contracted hedge operations from financial institutions, with 3.6% of all indebtedness exposed to exchange rate variation.
With regard to financial investments, Brasil Telecom tends to be conservative in its investment choices. Investments are maintained in financial investment funds (FIFs), and investments in own portfolio in private securities (CDBs) issued by first-tier financial institutions, federal notes, sovereign notes issued by governments with excellent credit risk and overnight operations, backed by notes issued by financial institutions abroad, with low credit risk. Portfolios of FIFs are composed mainly of federal notes and CDBs issued by first-tier financial institutions. Exposure to market risk is monitored daily through the VaR (Value at Risk) method, which quantifies the risk of loss in these investments.

Operational Risk
Brasil Telecom takes out specific insurance policies such as Operational Risk and Business Interruption Insurance to protect its assets. The Operational Risk Insurance covers all property against physical damage caused by fire, lightning, explosion, wind storms, robbery, flooding, and inundation. In order to ensure full replacement of its assets, the Company updates, on a monthly basis, the value and quantity of lines installed per branch. The Business Interruption Policy covers damages resulting from the interruption or disturbance of working capital caused by any physical damage to property.
The civil liability of managers, board members, and executive Officers of Brasil Telecom is ensured by D&O policy (Directors and Officers), contracted by Brasil Telecom Participações S.A., which pays damages to third parties up to the maximum limit ensured in the presence of evidence of management default.

Regulatory Risks
Brasil Telecom operates according to concession contracts and licensing agreements signed with the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) and under the industry’s general and specific legal and regulatory provisions. Any change in the established rules may affect the business. For this reason, the Company monitors the development of regulations and the industry overall, acting proactively to minimize regulatory risk.
Systematic Supervision of the Supplementary Pension Plan Foundations

Page 19

---

Brasil Telecom has systematically supervised the Supplementary Pension Plan Foundations that it sponsors. In addition to ensuring legal compliance, this initiative contributes to the implementation of better governance practices in these Foundations. A Supervision Committee has been created, which is composed of Board members representing Grupo Brasil Telecom, promoting the exchange and transfer of knowledge between the Foundations and the Sponsor Company.

Audit

Internal Audit

Control Environment Assessment
Brasil Telecom’s Internal Auditing has a preventive focus, and thus aims to predict occurrences and alert the management. Assessments and reports on processes, as well as the risk management of the organization, recommending improvements in the adequacy and efficacy of the risk management model, are periodically developed.
Assessment procedures comply with standards of COSO, COBIT, Audit Standards of PCAOB, and The Institute of Internal Auditors. Control Self Assessment is one of the mechanisms used to make it easier for processes with longer Audit cycles to be covered within the year, so as to facilitate the monitoring of the risks involved.
In this environment of thorough assessment and monitoring of processes, risks, and controls, it was possible to obtain a SOX Certification for the 2006 financial statements, disclosed in 2007.

Independence, Regulation, and Relationships
The independence of the Internal Audit is set forth in the Bylaws of the Company, which hierarchically connects the area to the Board of Directors. The goals, independence, purpose, scope, responsibilities, authority, results presentation, rules of the Internal Audit, and main procedures of the activity are provided for in the Regulation of the Internal Audit Activity (Charter), in compliance with the rules and standards of The Institute of Internal Auditors.
With regard to the relationship structure, recommendations made by the Internal Audit are directly monitored. In the internal environment, a previous discussion with the managers of processes is part of the process, and mitigating initiatives are informed to the Board of Executive Officers, to the Committee of Processes and Risks, to the Fiscal Council, and to the Board of Directors.
Independent Auditors
Under the terms of Ruling CVM no. 381/03, Brasil Telecom S.A. regularly submits the fees and types of services to be provided by independent auditors to approval by the Company's Board of Directors, considering the Fiscal Council’s opinion.
The policy for hiring services fulfills the principles that safeguard the independence of the auditor, according to international criteria, which are as follows: the auditor must not audit his own work nor carry out managerial responsibilities for his client nor promote the interests of his client.
During the year of 2007, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Independent Auditors was hired for jobs other than those directly related to the auditing of financial statements. The total fee for these services was 5% below the fees related to the independent auditors’ services.

SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Concerned with the development of communities living in the regions where it operates, Brasil Telecom contributes significantly to the improvement in these locations by means of initiatives targeted at promoting

Page 20

---

sports, culture, environmental preservation, social and digital inclusion, the defense of minority rights, and education projects. Brasil Telecom is responsible for maintaining 48 cultural projects and 20 social initiatives. In 2007, the operator improved ongoing programs and launched the basis for an ambitious project, Oficina Digital (Digital Workshop).

Priority for Education
Brasil Telecom has developed a widely-praised initiative which will contribute to improve the quality of Brazilian public schools. The Education Program, which will be officially launched in 2008, will install Model Digital Workshops in 500 schools.
The basic principle behind Brasil Telecom’s Education and Digital Inclusion Program is to use technology as a means to leverage the development of education. It will contribute largely to improving life in these communities, promoting economic and social progress. It will operate in a supplementary manner, with a view to maximize government initiatives.
The program is structured based on existing experience, and takes advantage of the best practices known, and eliminating most recurrent problems, based on projects developed by the company in Goiás and the Federal District.
Also regarding education, the Company has supported the “Bolsa-Escola Cidadã” (Citizen Scholarship) project, developed in the states of Goiás, Acre and Mato Grosso by the NGO Missão Criança, which is dedicated to defending human rights. The program includes monthly financial assistance to mothers of children in needy communities. Besides the donation, the purpose is to contribute to ending child labor and reducing truancy. In 2007, 1,971 children from 616 families benefited from these initiatives.
Another important project is developed in the main cities of Santa Catarina: Digital Inclusion, promoted by the Institute Santa Catarinese Sustentável (ICADS) (Sustainable Santa Catarina Institute), which qualifies participants to use information and communication technologies. The initiative also maintains training groups for 1,260 youth and adults, developing networks and communication and citizenship tools that can be used by the population at large.
Brasil Telecom also supports Esporte Clube Cidadão (Citizen Sport Club), an initiative developed in Bairro Restinga, in Porto Alegre, with youth and children at social risk. Its goal is to teach practices that generate reflection over certain ethical aspects of one’s personal and professional life.
The Company works jointly with Junior Achievement, a traditional organization of technical education in economics and business. The project serves 19 thousand students; 600 of whom have participation maintained with the support of Brasil Telecom. In 2007, the institution created the Ética na Escola (Ethics at School) program, focusing on discussion between young participants regarding ethics in society. Projeto Ética, managed by voluntary workers trained by the Junior Achievement, targeted 45 thousand students.

Cultural Projects
Cultural initiatives are also among the activities sponsored by the operator. Last year, Brasil Telecom supported 48 cultural projects, involving several forms of artistic expression, such as theater, dance, cinema, literature, and music. One of these was called “Tocando em Frente”, and promotes music workshops for low-income youth between 16 and 22 years, in of the Federal District.
Another initiative is the Projeto Batucadeiros, targeted at needy youth and adolescents between 5 and 21 years, residents in the city of Recanto das Emas (DF). The activities involve music and computer classes.

Sports Projects
Brasil Telecom maintained a substantial presence in the Brazilian sports scene in 2007. In addition to sponsoring individual athletes, the Company restructured its main project, Equipe Brasil Telecom de Vôlei (Brasil Telecom Volleyball Team). This way, Brasil Telecom fulfills its role in emphasizing the Company's work in the sport through the recognition of new talent.

The team that previously played in the Federal District currently represents the city of Brusque (SC) in the Superliga Feminina, and counts on athletes such as Érika Coimbra, from the Brazilian National Team, and Radamés Lattari, technical consultant for the team and former coach of the Brazilian National Men’s Team. Brasil Telecom also sponsors the men’s volleyball team of Faculdades Integradas (UPIS), in Brasília, runner up in the 2007 National League.
Sports incentives earned Brasil Telecom’s sports project two medals at the Pan American Games. In Rio 2007, the Brazilian 4 x 100 m relay team, composed of two athletes sponsored by the Company, Vicente Lenílson and Rafael Ribeiro, won the gold medal. Lucimara Silvestre, another Company-sponsored athlete, won the bronze medal in the heptathlon. These athletes are part of Brasil Telecom’s Athletics Team, coached by Jayme Netto, in Presidente Prudente (SP).
Robert Scheidt and Luciano Burti are also athletes sponsored by Brasil Telecom. Scheidt, the sailor, won the silver medal at the 2007 Pan American Games, in addition to being an eight time champion of the Laser Class, and runner up of the Star Class. Burti, for his part, is a Stock Car pilot, having raced in Formula 1 at Ferrari, Jaguar, and Prost Grand Prix.
The Company's sponsorship is not restricted to athletes and teams; it also involves sports events. In 2007, the company sponsored the 2007 Brasil Telecom Ironman, for the fifth consecutive year; Brasil Telecom 70.3 Ironman; and Copa do Brasil de Volley, held in October in Brusque, with the participation of Brazil’s main men’s and women’s volleyball teams.

Global Compact and Millennium Goals
Brasil Telecom sees the United Nations as a major ally in sustainability initiatives. By means of entering the UN Global Compact, the Company voluntarily assumed the challenge of spreading the ten principles related to labor rights, environment protection, fighting corruption, and human rights. Human rights have been highlighted through several policies, aiming at the creation of an environment that is favorable to professional and personal development, eliminating all forms of discrimination. Sustainable practices and attitudes were also developed monthly by employees who make up the Business Voluntary Program. Guided by the Millennium Development Goals, a program established by the member countries of the United Nations, the involvement of our employees in social initiatives reinforces the internal social mutual responsibility culture of Brasil Telecom.

SUSTAINABILITY AS VALUE
Throughout 2007, Brasil Telecom developed initiatives aiming to incorporate sustainability and responsible management concepts into its business values and business strategy. In addition to its strong commitment to supporting community projects in the culture, sports, education, and environmental areas, we also have a long-lasting vision that will infiltrate the entire organization, influencing business decisions as well.
Sustainability at Brasil Telecom is a result of the adoption of values and practices that express Brasil Telecom’s commitment to its shareholders and customers, to the environmental quality of the systems surrounding the Company, and to social equality in the communities inhabiting in the region where it operates.
As a result of the incorporation of these concepts into the Company's management values and principles, Brasil Telecom has called upon its executives to organize a Sustainability Committee, and to perform a diagnosis on Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility. The action plan under preparation will be implemented in the years to come, starting in 2008.

Previously, the call center services were outsourced.

Change in the Management

During the third quarter of 2005, there were changes in the management of Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and the Company. The process for replacing the former management, related to the former manager Opportunity, was litigious, as disclosed in various material events issued by the Companies during 2005 and several lawsuits still in progress, filed by the former manager, aiming at retaking the Companies’ management.

Agreements 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. entered into with TIM International N.V. (“TIMI”) and TIM Brasil Serviços e Participações S.A. (“TIMB”) an agreement named “Merger Agreement” and a “Protocol” related thereto.

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

The current management of Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and of the Company understood that the Merger Agreement, the related Protocol, and other April 28 agreements, which included the withdrawal and termination of lawsuits involving the Companies, were entered into with conflict of interests, breaching the Law and the Bylaws of the Companies, and also, are contrary to shareholders’ agreements and do not have the required corporate approvals. In addition, the current management deemed that such agreements were contrary to the best interests of the Companies, especially regarding their mobile telephony business.

As regards the Merger Agreement above, the Company and its subsidiary BrT Celular started on March 15, 2006 an arbitration proceeding against TIMI and TIMB to annul it. The Company released a material event on this matter on March 16, 2006.

TIMI and TIMB sent to the Company and BrT Celular a letter dated May 2, 2006, unilaterally terminating said Merger Agreement, setting a reserve for the alleged right to indemnity for damage, which was being discussed in said arbitration proceeding. According to analyses of the Company’s legal advisors, the risk of losses referring to the supposed right to indemnification has been considered remote and its amount were not possible to be measured. Also in May 2006, TIMI filed with ANATEL and CADE, petitions requesting to file the operation related to the Merger Agreement due to lack of grounds.

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. (“Solpart”), Techold Participações S.A. (“Techold”), Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil – Previ (“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 S.p.A., Brasilco S.R.L., Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited, TIMB and TIMI (Telecom Itália Companies)., on the other hand , signed a Mutual Release 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 Companies, on the other hand.

The Mutual Release Agreement terminates, among others, the potential demands involving the Companies and their subsidiaries and the companies, and the Telecom Itália Group companies, including the termination of arbitrations mentioned in the Note issued by the Companies on March 16, 2006.

The actual acquisition of Brasilco Shares, which under regulations in effect is subject to approval of the ANATEL (National Telecommunications Agency) and other conditions, would permit to terminate the existing administrative proceedings regarding the overlapping of telephony licenses (STFC, SMP, LDN and LDI) among Brasil Telecom Group companies and Telecom Italia Group companies and, thus, permanently removing the possibility of material adverse impact on the businesses and interests of the Brasil Telecom Group companies.

The National Telecommunications Agency – ANATEL granted its prior consent, through Act 68899, of December 3, 2007, published on December 5, 2007, to the acquisition, by Techold, of the entire ownership interest held by Brasilco S.r.l. (“Brasilco”) in the capital of Solpart (“Brasilco Shares”). Therefore, the last condition precedent set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement and Letter Agreement entered into on July 18, 2007 was fulfilled and the transaction was completed.

On December 5, 2007, Brasilco transferred Brasilco Shares to Techold through annotation and signature of the Solpart Share Transfer Book and the related Registered Shares Registry Book, after the payment by Techold of the total amount of US$515 million provided for by the Share Purchase Agreement and Letter Agreement. Due to such transfer, Techold has become the holder of approximately 99.98% of the voting and total capital of Solpart.

With the effective transfer of Brasilco Shares to Techold, the Mutual Release Agreement entered into on July 18 became effective, terminating definitely the litigation among the signatory parties thereto, including the Companies, Brasilco, Telecom Itália S.p.A., and their subsidiaries and the other parties mentioned at the Material Event published on July 18, 2007.

2. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Preparation Criteria

Page 5

---

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices as set forth by Corporate Law, Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) standards, and the standards applicable to telephony service concessionaires.

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

The notes to the financial statements are presented in thousands of reais, unless otherwise indicated. According to each situation, they present information related to the Company and the consolidated statements, identified as “COMPANY” and “CONSOLIDATED”, respectively. When the information is common to both situations, it is indentified as “COMPANY AND CONSOLIDATED”.

The amounts of escrow deposits tied to the Accrued liabilities for contingencies are presented as a deduction from the recognized liabilities.

Accounting estimates were based on objective and subjective factors and Management’s judgment for determining the adequate amount to be recorded in the financial statements. Significant items subject to these estimates and assumptions are the net book value of property, plant and equipment, the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, deferred income and social contribution taxes, the reserve for contingencies, measurement of financial instruments, and assets and liabilities related to benefits to employees. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s management reviews these estimates at least quarterly.

Consolidated financial statements

The consolidation was prepared in accordance with CVM Instruction No. 247/96 and includes the Company and companies listed in note 1.

Some of the main consolidation procedures are:

• Elimination of intercompany balances and revenue and expenses.
  
  
• Elimination of intercompany investment account balances and related shareholdings, reserves and retained earnings; and.
  
  
• Segregation of the portions of shareholders’ equity and income belonging to minority shareholders, indicated in specific items.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

The criteria mentioned below refer to significant accounting practices adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

a. Cash, banks and temporary cash investments: Cash investments are temporary high-liquidity investments, with immediate maturity. They are stated at cost, plus income earned through the balance sheet date and do not exceed their fair value. Shares in fixed-income investment funds are stated at cost plus income earned through the balance sheet date.

b. Trade accounts receivable: Receivables from users of telecommunications services are recorded at the amount of the tariff or service on the date the service is provided. Accounts receivable from services include credits for services rendered and not billed until the balance sheet date. Receivables resulting from sales of cell phones and accessories are recorded at the amount of sales made when the goods are delivered and accepted by customers. The criterion adopted for recognizing the allowance for doubtful accounts takes into account the calculation of the actual percentage of losses incurred on each maturity of receivables. Future losses on the current receivables balance are estimated based on these loss percentages, which include accounts falling due and also the portion of unbilled services, thus forming the amount that could become a future loss, which is recognized as an allowance.

c. Material inventories: Stated at the average acquisition cost, which does not exceed replacement cost. Inventories are segregated into plant expansion and plant maintenance, and, as regards the consolidated financial statements, inventories of goods for resale, consisting mainly of cell phones, accessories and electronic cards. The plant expansion inventories are classified into property, plant and equipment (construction in progress), and maintenance inventories are classified into current and long-term assets, in accordance with the period in which they will be used, and the resale inventories are classified into current assets. Obsolete inventories are recorded as provisions for losses. As regards cell phones and accessories, the subsidiary BrT Celular records adjustments, in those cases where purchases were made at higher prices, conforming them to their realization value.

d. Investments: Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method. Goodwill is calculated based on based on estimated future results and its amortization is based on the expected realization amount and period, not exceeding ten years. Other investments are stated at acquisition cost, less a provision for losses, when applicable. Investments resulting from income tax incentives are recognized on the date of investment, and result in shares of companies with tax incentives or investment funds. During the period between the investment date and receiving of shares or fund shares, they are recognized in long-term assets. These investments are periodically measured and the result of the comparison between their original and market costs, when lower, is recognized in provisions for probable losses.

e. Property, plant and equipment: Stated at acquisition and/or construction cost, less accumulated depreciation. Financial charges related to obligations from assets and construction in progress financing are capitalized.

Expenses incurred are capitalized when they represent improvements (increase in installed capacity or useful life). Maintenance and repair expenses are recorded in the statement of income, on the accrual basis.

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 stated in note 27.

f. Intangible assets: Refer mainly to licenses and software and regulatory licenses. The amortization of software licenses is calculated under the straight-line method over a five-year period, while regulatory licenses are amortized according to the terms determined by the regulatory agency. When benefits are not expected from a license or right related such asset, the asset is written off against the nonoperating income.

g. Deferred charges: Refer mainly to implementation and reorganization expenses. Amortization is calculated under the straight-line method over a period of 5 years. When benefits are not expected from such asset, the asset is written off against the nonoperating income.

h. Income and social contribution taxes: Income and social contribution taxes are accounted for on an accrual basis. These taxes levied on temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards are recorded under assets or liabilities, as applicable, according to the assumption of future realization or payment, within the criteria set forth by CVM Instruction No. 371/02.

i. Loans and financing: Restated based on monetary and exchange variations, plus interest incurred through the balance sheet dates. The same adjustment is applied to the guarantee contracts to hedge the debt.

j. Provision for contingencies: The reserve for contingency are recognized based on an assessment of their risks and are quantified based on economic grounds and legal opinions on the lawsuits and other events known on the balance sheet date, according to the criteria of CVM Deliberation No. 489/05. The basis and nature of the reserve for contingencies are described in note 7.

k. Revenue recognition: Service revenue is recognized when services are provided. Local and long distance calls are charged based on time measurement according to the legislation in effect. Revenue from sales of payphone cards [Public Use Telephony (TUP)], cell phones and accessories is recognized when delivered and accepted by customers. For prepaid services linked to mobile telephony, revenue is recognized in accordance with services utilization. Revenue is not recognized when there is significant uncertainty as to its realization.

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

m. Financial income (expenses), net: Financial income is recognized on an accrual basis and comprises interest earned on overdue bills settled after maturity, gains on cash investments and hedges. Financial expenses comprise interest incurred and other charges on loans, financing, hedging and other financial transactions.

Interest on Shareholders’ Equity, when credited, is included in financial expenses, and for financial statements presentation purposes, the amounts are reversed against income for the year and reclassified as a deduction from retained earnings, in the shareholders’ equity.

n. Employee benefits: Private pension plans and other retirement benefits sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries for their employees are managed by 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 the existing actuarial deficit against shareholders’ equity, excluding the corresponding tax effects. Starting 2002, as new actuarial evaluations show the need for adjustments to the provision, they are recognized in the statement of income. Additional information on pension plans is described in note 6.

o. Profit sharing: The provision for employee and management profit sharing is recognized on an accrual basis, and is accounted as an operating expense. The calculation of the amount, which is paid in the year subsequent to the year the provision is recognized, is based on the goals program established with the labor union through the collective bargaining agreement, in accordance with Law No. 10101/00 and the Company’s bylaws.

p. Earnings per share: Calculated based on the number of shares outstanding at the balance sheet date. Outstanding shares are represented by the totality of shares issued less treasury shares.

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

The Company and its subsidiaries evaluated of its assets and liabilities at their book value 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 obtain an amount considered appropriate for each case. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not necessarily indicate the amounts that 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 was based on their materiality. Instruments whose amounts approximate their fair values, for example, cash, bank and temporary cash investments, accounts receivable, assets and liabilities of taxes, pension funds, etc., and whose risk assessment is immaterial, are not mentioned.

According to their nature, financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks and the Company’s judgment is important for the risk assessment. Thus, there may exist risks with guarantees or without guarantees depending on circumstantial or legal aspects. Some of the main market risk factors affecting the Company’s business are as follows:

a. Credit risk

Most of the services provided by the Company are related to the Concession Agreement, and a significant portion of these services is subject to the determination of tariffs by the regulatory agency. The credit policy, in turn, in case of telecommunications public services, is subject to legal standards established by the concession grantor. The risk exists because the Company may incur in losses arising from the difficulty in receiving amounts billed to its customers. The Company’s default for 2007 was 1.96% (2.41% in 2006), taking into account total losses on accounts receivable in relation to gross revenue. In Consolidated it was 2.18% (2.54% in 2006). The Company constantly monitors the level of its accounts receivable through internal controls, thus limiting the risk of default, and cuts off access to the service (outbound phone traffic) if the bill is overdue for more than thirty days. Exceptions are made for telephone services, which should be maintained for national security or defense reasons.

The Company operates in co-billing related to long distance calls with the use of its CSP (Operator Selection Code) originated by subscribers of other fixed and mobile telephony operators. Co-billing receivables 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 regulatory agency are the same for the fixed and mobile telephony companies, which are co-billing suppliers. The Company controls separately this type of receivables and maintains an allowance for losses that may occur, due to risks of not receiving such amounts.

As regards mobile telephony, the credit risk in cell phones sales and services provide under the post-paid category is minimized by a credit pre-analysis. Also regarding post-paid services, whose customer base at the end of the year was 20.1% of the total portfolio (29.4% as of December 31, 2006), accounts receivable are also monitored in order to limit the default rate and service is blocked (outbound phone traffic) when the bill is overdue for more than 15 days.

b. Exchange rate risk

Liabilities

The Company has loans and financing contracted in foreign currency. The risk associated with these liabilities arises from the possibility that exchange rate changes may increase the balance of these liabilities. Consolidated loans subject to this risk represent approximately 16.0% (17.0% as of December 31, 2006) of total liabilities of consolidated loans and financing, less the foreign exchange hedge transactions contracted. In order to minimize this kind of risk, the Company has been entering into exchange hedge contracts with financial institutions. Of the debt installment consolidated in foreign currency, 92.6% (61.6% as of December 31, 2006) is hedged with exchange rate swap and dollar options transactions and foreign currency-denominated cash investments. The unrealized positive or adverse effects in hedge transactions, using exchange rate swaps and dollar options, are recorded in the statement of income as earnings or losses, according to the status of each instrument.

Net exposure to exchange rate risk prevailing at balance sheet date, at carrying and fair values, was as follows:

Long term	821,974	839,837	1,034,871	1,071,477

The method used for calculating the fair value of swap instruments was future cash flows associated to each instrument contracted, discounted at market rates prevailing at balance sheet date. For securities tradable in organized markets, the fair value is equivalent to the value of the last closing quotation available at balance sheet date multiplied by the number of outstanding securities. For contracts in which the current contracting terms and conditions are similar to those in which they have been originated, or that do not present parameters for quotation or contracting, fair values are equal to carrying values.

In the case of US dollar options, the fair value adopted for accounting recognition has been calculated based on the Black&Scholes model adapted by Garman Kohlhagen to consider specific features of exchange options. Such transactions, which have been contracted with maturity up to February, 2009, recorded, at the balance sheet date, a net loss of R$2,465 represented by R$761 for call options and R$1,704 for put options.

c. Interest rate risk

Assets

The Company has a loan granted to the phone directory company bearing interest indexed to the IGP-DI (general price index – domestic supply), as well as loans resulting from the sale of property, plant and equipment to other telephony companies, bearing interest indexed to the IPA-OG (wholesales price index – general supply)/Industrial Products of Column 27 (FGV). The Company also has CDBs (bank certificates of deposit) with Banco de Brasília S.A. related to the guarantee to credit benefit granted by the Federal District Government under a program called PRO-DF (Economic and Sustained Development Support Program of the Federal District), which bear interest equivalent to 94% and 95% of the SELIC rate (Central Bank overnight rate).

These assets are represented in the balance sheet as follows:

Long term	7,068	3,636	9,885	6,132

Liabilities

The Company has loans and financing contracted in Brazilian currency subordinated to interest rates indexed to following indices: TJLP (long-term interest rate), UMBNDES (National Bank for Economic and Social Development monetary unit), CDI (Interbank Deposit Rate), and IGP-DI. The risk inherent to these liabilities arises from possible fluctuations in these rates. The market rates are continuously monitored to assess the need to contract instruments to hedge against the fluctuations in these rates.

Page 14

---

In addition to loans and financing, the Company issued public debentures, nonconvertible into or exchangeable for shares. This liability has been contracted at an interest rate tied to CDI and the risk on this liability arises from possible rate increases.

These liabilities are represented in the balance sheet as follows:

Long term	3,064,654	3,072,219	3,230,755	3,244,981

The method used for calculating the fair value of swap instruments was future cash flows associated to each instrument contracted, discounted at market rates prevailing at balance sheet date. For securities tradable in organized markets, the fair value is equivalent to the value of the last closing quotation available at balance sheet date multiplied by the number of outstanding securities. For contracts in which the current contracting terms and conditions are similar to those in which they have been originated, or that do not present parameters for quotation or contracting, fair values are equal to carrying values.

d. Risk of failure to tie loans and financing monetary adjustment indexes to accounts receivable

Loan and financing rates contracted by the Company are not tied to receivables. Thus, there is a risk because the adjustments of telephone tariffs do not necessarily follow increases in local interest rates, which affect the Company’s debts.

e. Contingencies

Contingencies are assessed according to probable, possible or remote loss. Contingencies considered as of probable risk are recorded in liabilities. Details on these risks are shown in note 7.

f. Investment-related risks

The Company has investments measured under the equity method of accounting and the acquisition cost. The Company recognizes provisions for losses when the expected future cash flows from an investment create prospects of losses.

The investments measured under the equity method are represented by limited liability or private companies, for which there is no market value.

Investments measured at cost are immaterial in relation to total assets. The risks associated to them would not produce significant impacts for the Company in case of losses on these investments.

g. Cash investment risks

Temporary cash equivalents in local currency are made in financial investment funds (FIFs) and investments in its own portfolio of private securities (floating rate bank certificates of deposit) issued by prime financial institutions. The FIFs portfolios consist mainly of federal-government securities (floating, fixed, and foreign exchange rate securities) and CDBs issued by prime financial institutions (floating rate securities). Funds may carry out non-leveraged derivative transactions to hedge their portfolios and complying with the goals established in their corresponding investment policies. The exposure to market risks is monitored on a daily basis based on the VaR (Value at Risk) methodology, which qualifies the loss risk on these investments.

Page 16

---

Foreign currency-denominated temporary cash investments are represented by overnight operations backed by securities issued by foreign financial institutions, with low credit risk.

BrT Celular holds short-term investments in federal government securities to ensure its participation in bids conducted by ANATEL. These investments are represented by LTN (National Treasury Bills), bearing fixed interest rate. The Company has contracted hedge transactions under the exchange rate swap modality to hedge against these securities’ market rates fluctuations, the yield of which is tied to the percentage variation of CDI.

Investments in CDBs and overnight transactions are subject to the credit risk of financial institutions, and foreign currency-denominated investments are subject to the exchange rate risk.

The balances of cash investments and short-term investments – government securities – are shown in notes 17 and 18, respectively.

h. Risk of Early Maturity of Loans and Financing

Liabilities derived from financing mentioned in note 35, related to BNDES agreements, public debentures and most referring to financial institutions, have covenants that prescribe the early maturity of obligations or retention of amounts pegged to debt portions in the cases where certain levels for certain indicators, such as indebtedness ratios and leverage (financial covenants), are not met.

For the financing agreements maintained with BNDES, the Company must comply with a set of financial ratios and in the event of noncompliance with some of these ratios, the Bank is allowed to request the temporary blocking of values deposited in collection accounts tied to the agreements.

All indicators set forth in agreements are being complied with and thus no sanctions or penalties set forth in the agreement clauses entered into are being enforced upon the Company.

i. Regulatory risk

Concession agreements

Brasil Telecom S.A. entered into with ANATEL local and domestic long distance concession agreements, effective for the period January 1, 2006 - 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 business and several provisions defending consumer’s interests, as noticed by the regulatory agency. The main highlights are:

• The burden of the concession defined as 2% of revenue net of taxes, calculated every two years, started in 2006, and the initial payment was made on April 30, 2007. This will occur successively until concession termination. This calculation method, as regards its accrual, corresponds to 1% for each financial year;

Page 17

---

• The definition of new universal service goals, particularly AICE (Special Class Individual Access) with mandatory and progressive offer and the PSTs (Telecommunications Service Centers), fully defrayed by the Concessionaire;
• Possibility of the Regulatory Agency imposing alternative mandatory offer plans;
• Introduction of Regulatory Agency’s right to be involved in and change agreements of the concessionaire with third parties;
• Inclusion of the parent company’s, subsidiary’s, affiliated companies’ and third parties’ assets, indispensable to the concession, as returnable assets;
• Creation of the users’ council in each concession;

Interconnection tariffs are defined as a percentage public local and domestic long distance tariff until the effective implementation of cost model by service/modality, scheduled for 2008, as defined in the Regulation for Separation and Accounting Allocation Regulations (Resolution No. 396/05).

The amendment to the tariff method applicable to the STFC Basic Plan in the Modality Local Service Provided under Public Concession (PBS) – Conversion from Pulses to Minutes, and the implementation of the PASOO (Alternative Mandatory Offer Service Plan) was completed in all areas of operations of the Company on July 31, 2007, in accordance with the regulatory requirements defined by ANATEL in Rules No. 423/05, 432/06 and 450/06. This change permits customers to select one of two mandatory service offer plans (PBS and PASOO), as well as exercising the right to request the detailing on their local calls in the telephone bills.

Bill No. 103/2007 and Bill No. 1.481/2007, in progress as priority bills, to amend Law No. 9394/96 and Law No. 9998/00, provide for the access to digital information networks in educational institutions and permit the use of funds raised by the FUST (Telecommunications Universal Service Fund) by all the telecommunication operators, or even on a decentralized basis, under agreements of the federal government with the States. On the date of the preparation of these financial statements is not possible to assess the future impacts of these Bills under discussion on the Company’s results.

The Executive Board of ANATEL approved on December 21, 2007, the Draft Decree for amending the PGMU (General Plan of Universal Goals Service for the Switched Fixed Telephone Service), and the Draft Amendment to the Concession Agreements. The amendment aims at deploying a support network infrastructure for the Switched Fixed Telephone Service for use of the general public (STFC), for broadband connection via high-speed IP protocol in the cities where such infrastructure is not yet available, taking into account the effectiveness of government policies on the needs of the Brazilian society. It aims at replacing the current universal service goals related to the deployment of PSTs (Telecommunications Services Centers) by backhaul. The replacement of PGMU obligations has been sent to the Ministry of Communications, which will prepare the presidential draft decree to be sent to the President of the Republic. The draft decree prescribes that 20% of the cities will be served by June 2008, 40% by December 2008, 80% by December, 2009, with full service provided by December 2010. On the date of the preparation of these financial statements is not possible to assess the future impacts of the intended replacement of universal service goals, still in progress, on the results of the Company.

Third-generation personal mobile services (3G) licenses

In the bidding process organized by ANATEL for the licenses to exploit Personal Mobile Service (SMP) concurrently with the radiofrequency licenses, 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A. won the auction conducted in the second half of December 2007 for the acquisition of licenses to operate in subbands that will allow this to offer products related to third generation mobile services network (3G) in its services area. The amount paid for these licenses, effective for a period of fifteen years, extendable once for an equal period, was R$488,235. The execution of the License Terms is scheduled for February 2008, pursuant to the regulatory procedures of ANATEL. The new and the existing will SMP licenses be unified within a maximum period of eighteen months as of the publication of the extract of the Radiofrequency Use License Agreement in the Federal Official Gazette, and the distinction of the radiofrequency blocks will be maintained according to the respective original agreements and their effective periods.

The deployment of the new 3G network will allow offering SMP customers data communication services at speeds higher than those made available by the current network 2.5G in addition to the mobile voice services. Additionally, the 3G network will operate complementarily to the 2.5G network, allowing the extension and update of BrT Celular’s coverage network and meeting the growth of the customer base.

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

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

a. Supplementary pension plan

The Company sponsors supplementary pension plans related to retirement for its employees and assisted participants, 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 December 28, 2000; and (iii) Fundação SISTEL de Seguridade Social (“SISTEL”), originated from certain companies of the former Telebrás System.

Bylaws establish the approval of the supplementary pension plan policy, and the joint liability attributed to the defined benefit plans is ruled by the agreements entered into with the foundations, with the agreement of the SPC (Secretariat for Pension Plans), as regards the specific plans.

The sponsored plans are valued by independent actuaries at the balance sheet date. As regards the defined benefit plans described in this note, immediate recognition of the actuarial gains and losses is adopted, and therefore the full liabilities are recognized for the plans presenting a deficit. This measure has been applied since the 2001 fiscal year, when the regulations of CVM Resolution No. 371/00 were adopted. In cases that show a positive actuarial situation, assets are recorded in case of express authorization for offsetting with future employer contributions.

Page 19

The characteristics of the sponsored supplementary pension plans are as follows:

FUNDAÇÃO 14

Fundação 14 de Previdência Privada was created in 2004 and since March 10, 2005 has been in charge of managing and operating the TCSPREV pension plan. On that date, it entered into a management agreement with SISTEL so that the latter provides management and operating services to the TCSPREV and PAMEC-BrT plans until September 30, 2006. Staring this date, Fundação 14 took over the management and operation services of its plans. As of October 31, 2007, Fundação 14 ceased to manage the assistance plan PAMEC-BrT because it is an entity engaged in the management of private pension plans. In November, 2007, the assets and liabilities of PAMEC-BrT were transferred to the Company which, in addition to sponsoring the plan, started to manage it.

Plans

TCSPREV (Defined Contribution, Settled Benefit and Defined Benefit)
This defined contribution and settled benefit plan was introduced on February 28, 2000. On December 31, 2001, all pension plans sponsored by the Company together with SISTEL were merged, and the SPC exceptionally and provisionally approved the document sent to that Agency, due to the need for adjustments to the regulations. Thus, TCSPREV consists of defined contribution groups with settled and defined benefits. The plans added to the TCSPREV were the PBS-TCS, PBT-BrT, BrT Management Agreement, and the Unusual Contractual Relationship Instrument, and the terms and conditions set out in the original plans were maintained. In March 2003, this plan was no longer offered to the sponsors’ new hires. However, this plan started to be offered starting March 2005 to the defined contribution group. TCSPREV currently serves nearly 66.9% of the staff.

Contributions to this plan, by group of participants, are established based on actuarial studies prepared by independent actuaries according to regulations in force in Brazil, using the capitalization system to determine the costs. Currently, contributions are made by the participants and the sponsor only for the internal groups PBS-TCS (defined benefit) and TCSPREV (defined contribution). In the TCSPREV group, the contributions are credited in individual accounts of each participant, equally by employee and sponsor, and the basic contribution percentages vary between 3% and 8% of the participant’s salary, according to participant’s age and limited to R$20,070.00 for 2007. Participants have the option to make additional contributions to the plan but without parity of the Company. In the PBS-TCS group, the sponsor’s contribution corresponds to 12% of the participants’ payroll, while the employees’ contribution varies according to the age, time of service and salary. An entry fee may also be payable depending on the age a participant joined the plan. The sponsors are responsible for defraying all administrative expenses and fund risk benefits.

FUNDAÇÃO SISTEL DE SEGURIDADE SOCIAL

The supplementary pension plan – PBS-A, which remains under SISTEL’s management, comes from the period before the Telebrás’ Spin-off and serves participants who had the status of beneficiaries in January 2000. SISTEL also manages the PAMA/PAMA-PCE pension plan, formed by participants assisted by the PBS-A Plan, the PBS’s plans segregated by sponsor in January 2000 and PBS-TCS’ Internal Group, merged into the TCSPREV plan in December 2001.

Plans

PBS-A (Defined Benefit)
Maintained jointly with other sponsors associated to the provision of telecommunications services and intended for participants that had the status of beneficiaries on January 31, 2000.

Contributions to the PBS-A are contingent to the determination of an accumulated deficit. As of December 31, 2007, actuarial appraisal date, the plan presented a surplus.

PAMA - Retirees Health Care Plan/PCE – Special Coverage Plan (Defined Contribution)
Maintained jointly with other sponsors subject to the provision of telecommunications services and destined for participants that had the status of beneficiaries on January 31, 2000, for the beneficiaries of the PBS-TCS Group, merged on December 31, 2001 into TCSPREV (plan currently managed by Fundação 14) and for the participants of PBS’s defined benefit plans sponsored by other companies, together with SISTEL and other foundations. According to a legal and actuarial appraisal, the Sponsor’s responsibility is exclusively limited to future contributions. In March-July 2004 and December 2005-April 2006, there was an incentive to the migration of PAMA pensioners for the new coverage conditions (PCE). Participants who opted for the migration began to contribute to PAMA/PCE.

The contributions to this plan correspond to 1.5% of payroll of active participants subject to PBS plans, segregated and sponsored by the several sponsoring company. In the case of Brasil Telecom, the PBS-TCS was merged into the TCSPREV plan on December 31, 2001, and began to constitute an internal group of the plan. Pensioners who migrated to the PAMA/PCE also made contributions.

FUNDAÇÃO BrTPREV

It is the manager originated from the plans sponsored by former CRT, company merged into the Company at the end of 2000. The main purpose of the Company sponsoring FBrTPREV is to maintain the pensions supplementary to the benefits survival pensions and other benefits provided by the official social security system to participants.

Page 21

Plans

BrTPREV
Defined contribution and settled benefits plan, launched in October 2002, intended to grant pension plan benefits supplementary to those of the official social security benefits and that initially served only employees of the Rio Grande do Sul Branch. This pension plan started to be offered to new employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in March 2003-February 2005, when its offering was suspended. BrTPREV currently serves nearly 23.6% of the staff.

Contributions to this plan are determined based on actuarial studies prepared by independent actuaries according to the regulations in force in Brazil, using the capitalization system to determine funding. Contributions are credited in individual accounts of each participant, equally by employee and sponsor, and the basic contribution percentages vary between 3% and 8% of the participant’s salary, according to participant’s age and limited to R$20,761.00 for 2007. Participants have the option to make additional contributions to the plan but without parity of the Company. The Company is responsible for defraying all administrative expenses and fund risk benefits.

Fundador - Brasil Telecom and Alternativo - Brasil Telecom
Defined benefits plans intended to provide pension benefits supplementary in addition to the benefits of official social security, closed to the entry of new participants. These plans currently serve approximately 0.15% of the staff.

The regular contribution by the sponsor is equal to the regular contribution of the participant, the rates of which vary according to age, time of service and salary. In the Alternativo Plan - Brasil Telecom, the contributions are limited to three times the ceiling benefit of INSS and the participant also pays an entry fee depending on the age he or she joins the plan.

ASSISTANCE PLAN ADMINISTERED BY THE COMPANY

PAMEC-BrT – Health Care Plan for Supplementary Pension Beneficiaries (Defined Benefit)
Intended to provide health care to retirees and pensioners linked to the PBT-BrT Group, pension plan administered by Fundação 14.

The contributions for PAMEC-BrT were fully paid in July 1998, through a single payment. However, as that plan is now managed by the Company after the transfer of management by Fundação 14 in November 2007, there are no assets recognized to cover current expenses, and the actuarial obligation is fully recognized in the Company’s liabilities.

Status of sponsored plans, reassessed at balance sheet date

b. Stock options plan for management and employees

The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on November 6, 2007, approved a new general plan for granting stock options to officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries; the plans described were in effect at the balance sheet date, in accordance to the respective approval dates.

Plan Approved on April 28, 2000

The rights vested through stock options agreements while this previously approved plan was effective remain valid and effective according to the respective terms agreed. The plan is divided into two separate programs:

Program A

This program prescribed that stock options were granted as the performance goals of the Company, established by the Board of Directors for a five-year period, were attained. No option was granted for this program.

Page 25

---

Program B

The exercise price is established by the managing committee based on the market price of one thousand shares on option granting date and will be monetarily adjusted based on the IGP-M variation between the agreement execution date and payment date.

The stock options are vested as follows:

Granting					Adjusted exercise price (In Brazilian reais)	Options  (in shares)
Grant date		Lot	Exercise as from	Exercise deadline
1st	12/20/02	33%	01/01/04	12/31/08	15.69	9,345
		33%	01/01/05	12/31/08	15.69	9,345
		34%	01/01/06	12/31/08	15.69	9,346
2nd	12/19/03	33%	12/19/05	12/31/10	15.89	15,060
		33%	12/19/06	12/31/10	15.89	15,060
		34%	12/19/07	12/31/10	15.89	15,060
3rd	12/22/04	33%	12/22/05	12/31/11	17.30	61,213
		33%	12/22/06	12/31/11	17.30	61,213
		34%	12/22/07	12/31/11	17.30	61,213

These vesting periods can be anticipated as a result of special events or conditions established in the option granting agreement. Since December, 2004 until the balance sheet date, no options were granted for Program B.

The information on the general stock options plan is summarized below:

	2007		2006
	Preferred shares options	Average exercise price - R$	Preferred shares options	Average exercise price - R$
Balance at beginning of year	270,802	13.00	410,737	13.00
Extinguished options	(13,947)	17.30	(139,935)	13.00
Balance at end of year	256,855	16.88	270,802	13.00

Stock options represent 0.05% of total outstanding shares (0.05% as of December 31, 2006).

Assuming that the options will be fully exercised, the premiums on the related options, calculated based on the Black&Scholes method, payable by the Company, would total R$1,761 (R$532 in 2006).

Plan approved on November 6, 2007

The new plan authorizes granting stock options, allowing plan participants, under certain conditions, to purchase or subscribe, in the future, shares that are part of a basket of shares defined as UP (Performance Unity), at a preestablished price. The amount corresponding to the number of UPs granted cannot exceed the maximum amount of 10% of the book value of the shares of each type of share of the Company.

Page 26

---

The shares derived from the exercise of options entitle beneficiaries to the same rights granted to the Company’s other shareholders.

The Board of Directors is responsible for managing of this plan and is vested with full powers for establishing stock options programs, which can be delegated to a compensation committee formed by up to three Board members.

At the Meeting held on December 14, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved two programs related to the new stock options plan, with retroactive effects to July 1, 2007, which consist of the following:

Program 1

Options are granted as a one-time concession and do not allow new grants for a period of up to four years. The exercise price of the UP has been set up by the Board of Directors, under the terms defined in the plan and it is subject to indexation by the IGP-M, plus 6% p.a., to be discounted from the amounts paid as dividends and/or interest on capital in the period.

Program 2

Stock options under this program are granted annually, on July 1 of every year. Stock options for Program 2 were granted on July 1, 2007 and the exercise price of the UP has been set up by the Board of Directors, under the terms defined in the plan, to be discounted from the amounts paid as dividends and/or Interest on Shareholders’ Equity in the period.

The stock options for programs 1 and 3 are vested as follows:

Program	Granting				Adjusted exercise price (In Brazilian reais)	Options (in UPs)
	Grant date	Lot	Exercise as from	Exercise deadline
1	07/01/07	25%	07/01/08	06/30/11	28.91	791,259
		25%	07/01/09	06/30/12	28.91	791,259
		25%	07/01/10	06/30/13	28.91	791,259
		25%	07/01/11	06/30/14	28.91	791,258
2	07/01/07	25%	07/01/08	06/30/11	26.41	217,851
		25%	07/01/09	06/30/12	26.41	217,851
		25%	07/01/10	06/30/13	26.41	217,851
		25%	07/01/11	06/30/14	26.41	217,852

The vesting periods set out in programs 1 and 2 can be anticipated as a result of special events or conditions established in the option granting agreement.

The stock options balance (UPs) as of December 31, 2007 represents 2.23% of the Company’s shareholders' equity.

Assuming that the options included in programs 1 and 2 will be fully exercised, the amount of the premiums on the related options, calculated according to the Binomial stock options pricing model, for the Company would be R$53,462.

c. Other employee benefits

Other benefits are granted to employees, such as: health/dental care, meal allowance, group life insurance, occupational accident allowance, sick pay, transportation allowance, and others.

7. PROVISION FOR CONTINGENCIES

a. Contingent liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically assess their contingency risks, and also review their lawsuits taking into consideration the legal, economic, tax and accounting aspects. The assessment of these risks aims at classifying them according to the chances of unfavorable outcome as probable, possible or remote, taking into account the opinion of its legal counsel.

Contingencies whose risks are classified as probable are accrued. Contingencies classified as possible are discussed in this note. These proceedings are under discussion at the administrative or judicial level, in all the court levels, from the lower to the extraordinary courts.

In a number of situations, due to legal requirement or as a caution measure, escrow deposits are made to ensure the continuity of the proceedings in discussion. The escrow deposits related to contingencies with possible and remote likelihood of loss are shown in note 24.

Note that in some cases similar matters may be ranked in different risk degree ratings, which is justified by the facts and the particular status of each proceeding.

Labor lawsuits

The provisions for labor lawsuits include an estimate made by the Company’s management, supported by the opinion of its legal counsel, of the losses related to lawsuits filed by employees and former employees of the Company and service providers related to labor matters.

Tax lawsuits

Provisions for tax contingencies refers specially to issues related to the tax collection arisen from disagreements between the management’s understanding, supported by the opinion of the Company’s legal advisors and the Tax Authorities regarding the interpretation, enforcement, legality and constitutionality of tax legislation.

Civil lawsuits

The reserves for civil contingencies refer to an estimate of lawsuits related to contractual adjustments arising from Federal Government economic plans, and other cases related to community telephony plans and suit for damages and consumer lawsuits.

date is R$1,336,279 (R$720,660 as of December 31, 2006) and R$1,360,006 (R$734,014 as of December 31, 2006) for consolidated purposes. The commission charges on these contracts are based on market rates.

b. Contingent assets

The tax lawsuit below was filed by the Company to claim the refund of taxes paid.

PIS/COFINS: tax lawsuits challenging the enforcement of Law No. 9718/98, which increased the PIS and COFINS tax basis. The period comprised by the Law was February 1999-November 2002 for PIS and February 1999-January 2004 for COFINS. In November 2005, the STF (Federal Supreme Court) concluded the judgment of certain lawsuits on the same matter and considered the increase of tax basis introduced by said Law unconstitutional. Part of the lawsuits filed by the Company and the STFC concessionaires from Region II of the Granting Plan, merged into the Company in February 2000, became final and unappealable in 2006 as regards the increase in COFINS tax basis. The Company is awaiting the judgments of the lawsuits filed by the other merged companies, whose likelihood of a favorable outcome in future filing of appeals is considered as probable by the Company’s legal counsel. The amount attributed to these lawsuits representing unrecognized contingent assets, is R$17,445 (R$16,842 as of December 31, 2006).

8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

a. Capital

The Shareholders' Meeting held on April 10, 2007 approved the reverse split of shares of the Company’s capital stock. Accordingly, the shares will be grouped at the ratio of one thousand (1,000) shares per one (1) share, and capital will be represented by 249,597,049 common shares and 311,353,240 preferred shares, totaling 560,950,289 shares issued. From the total amount of shares, 13,678,100 preferred shares are held in treasury.

The reverse stock split aims at bringing the unit price for quotation of shares to a more appropriate level from the market point of view, reducing operating costs for the Company and its shareholders, and increasing the efficiency of the systems for registration, controls and information disclosure to shareholders. After the approval of the reverse stock split, shareholders had a period of 30 days to adjust their share positions in lots of one thousand (1,000) shares by type, through trading on BOVESPA or an over-the-counter market. After that period, the shares are trade in groups with unit quotation. The remaining shares fractions were separated and grouped into full numbers and sold at an auction held on BOVESPA. The amounts resulting from such auction, after final settlement of the sale, were made available on behalf of the respective shareholders.

The Company is authorized to increase its capital, according to a resolution of the Board of Directors, up to the total limit of 800,000,000 common or preferred shares, in compliance with the legal limit of two thirds (2/3) for the issue of new preferred shares without voting rights.

By means of a resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting or the Board of Directors, the Company’s capital may be increased by the capitalization of retained earnings or prior reserves allocated by the Shareholders’ Meeting. Under these conditions, the capitalization may be carried out without changing the number of shares.

Capital is represented by common and preferred stocks, with no par value, and it is not mandatory to maintain the proportion between the shares in the case of capital increases.

By resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting or the Shareholders' Meeting, the preemptive right on the issue of shares, warrants or debentures convertible into shares may be excluded, in the cases stipulated in article 172 of Corporate Law.

The preferred shares do not have voting rights, except in the cases specified in paragraphs 1 to 3 of article 12 of the Bylaws, but are assured priority in receiving the minimum noncumulative dividend equal to the higher of 6% per year, calculated on the amount resulting from dividing the capital by the total number of the Company’s shares or 3% per year, calculated on the amount resulting from dividing shareholders’ equity by the total number of the Company’s shares, whichever is greater.

Subscribed and paid-up capital at the balance sheet date is R$3,470,758 (R$3,470,758 as of December 31, 2006), represented by the following shares with no par value:

b. Treasury shares

Treasury shares derive from Stock Buyback Programs carried out in 2002 to 2004. On September 13, 2004, a material event was disclosed on the last proposal approved by the Company’s Board of Directors for the buyback of preferred shares issued by the Company to be held in treasury or cancellation, or subsequent sale.

The number of treasury shares is as follows:

Reserve for share subscription premium: results from the difference between the amount paid on subscription and the portion allocated to capital.

Reserve for investment grants: recognized as a result of the investment grants received, the contra entry of which represents an asset received by the Company.

Special monetary restatement reserve of Law No. 8200/91: recognized as a result of special monetary restatement adjustments of permanent assets to offset distortions in the monetary adjustment indices prior to 1991.

Other capital reserves: formed by the contra entry of the interest on construction in progress incurred up to December 31, 1998 and funds invested in income tax incentives.

d. Profit reserve

The profit reserve is recognized in accordance with the following practices:

Legal reserve: allocation of five percent of the annual net income up to twenty percent of paid-up capital or thirty percent of capital plus capital reserves. The legal reserve is used only to increase capital or absorb losses.

Retained earnings: recognized at the end of each financial year and consist of the remaining balances of net income or loss for the year, adjusted according to the terms of article 202 of Law No. 6404/76, or by the recording of prior years’ adjustments, if applicable.

The realization periods are based on a technical study that used expected future taxable income generated as from the years when the temporary differences become deductible expenses for tax purposes. These assets are recorded in accordance with the requirements in the CVM Instruction No. 371/02 and the technical study submitted to the approval of the executive board and the Board of Directors, and the examination of the supervisory board.

Total	839,930	1,585,758
Current	276,544	336,508
Long term	563,386	1,249,250

The recoverable amount expected after 2017 is a result of a provision to cover the actuarial deficiency of pension plans that is being settled according to the maximum remaining period of 14 years, in line with the period established by the SPC (Secretariat for Pension Plans). Despite the time limit stipulated by the SPC and according to the estimated future taxable income, the Company is in a position to fully offset the deferred taxes within a period lower than ten years, if it opts to fully anticipate the repayment of the debt. Tax credits in the amount of R$135,495, in Consolidated, have not been recognized because of the lack of the necessary requirements in terms of history and/or history future taxable income in VANT, BrT Multimídia and BrT CS, companies controlled by the Company.

Other recoverable taxes

Consist of federal withholding taxes and payments made, calculated based on legal estimates, which will be offset against future taxes payable. ICMS recoverable arises mostly from credits recorded upon the purchase of fixed assets, whose offset against ICMS payable may occur within up to 48 months, according to Supplementary Law No. 102/00.

Out of the contracted value, 10% was paid on execution date and the remaining balance was fully recognized in the Subsidiary’s liabilities to be paid in equal, consecutive annual installments, with maturities scheduled for 2008-2010 (balance of three installments), and 2008-2012 (balance of five installments), depending on the year the agreements were executed. The remaining balance is adjusted based on the variation of IGP-DI, plus 1% per month.

The STFC concession as of December 31, 2006 refers to the provision recognized on an accrual basis, based on the application of 1% upon the taxes net revenue. According to the concession agreement in effect, the payment in favor of ANATEL becomes due at each two-year period, set up for April of odd years and equivalent to 2% of net revenue verified in the previous year.

Self–financing funds - Rio Grande do Sul branch

Correspond to the financial participation credits, paid by committed subscribers, for the purchase of the right of use of switched fixed telephone service, still under the discontinued 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 committed subscribers. Part of these committed subscribers, who did not accept the Company’s Public Offering to return the referred credits in cash, as established in article 171, paragraph 2, of Law No. 6.404/76, are awaiting the termination of the ongoing lawsuit, filed by the Public Prosecution Office and Others, aiming at reimbursement in shares.

40. CAPITALIZABLE FUNDS

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 fund raising mechanism was discontinued and the existing amount of R$7,974 (R$7,974 as of December 31, 2006) derives from plans sold prior to the issue of said Administrative Rule, the corresponding assets to which are already incorporated to the Company’s fixed assets through the PCT (Community Telephony Plant). For reimbursement in shares, it is necessary to await a court decision on the suits filed by the interested parties.

Law No. 11638 was issued on December 28, 2007 and amends the provisions of the Brazilian Corporate Law - Law No. 6.404/76. Said law sets forth several amendments on the preparation of financial statements, aiming at aligning them with the international accounting standards and grants to the CVM (Brazilian Securities Commission) the power to issue standards for publicly traded companies. The main amendments introduced by said Law are effective from 2008 and refer to: (i) replacement of the DOAR (Statements of Changes in Financial Position) for the Statement of Cash Flows; (ii) mandatory preparation of the DVA (Statement of Value Added); (iii) possible inclusion of tax bookkeeping in the commercial bookkeeping, with segregation between the commercial and tax statements; (iv) creation of subgroup Asset Appraisal Adjustment in shareholders' equity; (v) standardization of financial instruments measurement and classification criteria; (vi) mandatory evaluation the noncurrent assets recovery level; (vii) change on subsidiaries’ measurement parameters under the equity method of accounting; (viii) possible recognition of the Tax Incentive Reserve; and (ix) mandatory recognition of new assets at fair value, in cases of merger, consolidation or spin-off.

The Company already issues the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Value Added, and the segregation of Intangible assets in permanent assets. On the date of preparation of these financial statements it was not possible to estimate the possible effects from adopting the other changes set forth by said law, applicable to the Company, which might impact its financial statements.
