Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of
AT&T of Puerto Rico, Inc. Long Term Savings and Security Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of AT&T of Puerto Rico, Inc. Long Term Savings and Security Plan (the "Plan") as
of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held
at End of Year) as of December 31, 2004 is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Plan Description
The AT&T of Puerto Rico, Inc. Long Term Savings and Security Plan (the
"Plan" or "LTSSP-PR") is a defined contribution plan established by
AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") to provide a convenient way for occupational
employees of AT&T of Puerto Rico, Inc. to save on a regular and
long-term basis. Effective January 1, 2004, the AT&T Savings Master
Trust ("Master Trust") was established as the successor trust to the
Group Trust. Effective as of the same date, State Street Bank and
Trust Company was appointed as successor trustee to Fidelity
Management Trust Company for the AT&T Savings Master Trust. The
LTSSP-PR participates in the Master Trust, for the investment of the
pooled assets of various funds. Each participating plan has an
undivided interest in the Master Trust.
An eligible employee enters the Plan by authorizing a payroll
allotment to invest his/her contributions in one or more of the
twenty-six (26) different funds as set forth in the current Plan
document.
The Comcast Stock Fund was liquidated between March 18, 2004 and May
20, 2004. The proceeds from the sales were transferred into the AT&T
Stable Value Fund. As of July 30, 2004, a participant who does not
have, or maintain, a balance in the Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund,
will not be able to invest in the Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund
through the Plan. Shares of the Legg Mason Value Trust Investment
option were converted from Financial Intermediary Class to
Institutional Class as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30,
2004. Effective July 1, 2004, the Janus Overseas Fund and the Janus
Worldwide Fund options in the Plan were closed to new contributions
and exchanges in. A liquidation of assets in these two Janus funds
began on October 8, 2004 and was completed on October 29, 2004. The
proceeds from the sales were transferred into the AT&T Stable Value
Fund in the Plan. Effective July 1, 2004, two new mutual fund
investment options became available under the Plan. The American Funds
Capital World Growth and Income Fund, Class R-5 and the Morgan Stanley
Institutional Fund- International Equity Portfolio, Class A Shares are
the two new mutual funds. On December 6, 2004, Fidelity implemented an
enterprise-wide policy to monitor and address excessive short-term
trading in Fidelity funds sold through retail or 401(k) plans for
which they keep the records. This policy establishes standards for
warning participants and suspending trading privileges, if necessary,
in accordance with prospectus rules. Fidelity has offered to implement
this policy for other mutual fund providers and subsequently T. Rowe
Price and Legg Mason agreed to have their funds monitored by Fidelity.
Employee allotments of 2% to 16% of salary may be authorized. An
employee may designate allotments as pre-tax allotments or after-tax
allotments. All participant contributions and earnings thereon are
immediately vested and are not subject to forfeiture. Pre-tax
contributions may be made up to the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury
limit of $8,000 or 10% of the participants annual compensation, which
ever is less in 2004. After one year of service, the employing company
(AT&T or any AT&T subsidiary participating in the Plan) will
contribute an amount equal to 66-2/3% of the first 6% of the
employee's salary contributed. Employing company contributions are
made in accordance with the participant's elected investment
direction. Employing company contributions and earnings thereon are
vested after five years of service.
Loans are available to all participants in an amount not less than
$1,000, up to a maximum of 50% of the participant's vested account
balance or $50,000 minus the participant's highest outstanding loan
balance in the last twelve (12) months. Upon default, participants are
considered to have received a distribution and are subject to income
taxes on the distributed amount. Loan transactions are treated as a
transfer to (from) the investment funds from (to) the Participant Loan
Account. The term of the loan shall not exceed fifty-six (56) months.
The loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant's
account and bear interest at the prime rate on the last business day
of the month preceding the month in which the loan was initiated.
Interest rates are fixed for the term of the loan. Interest rates on
participant loans outstanding as of December 31, 2004 range from 4.0%
to 9.5%. Principal and interest are paid through payroll deductions or
participant-initiated payments.
When a participant terminates employment, the entire vested amount in
the participant's account will be distributed in a single payment, if
the amount to be distributed is $5,000 or less. However, if the amount
to be distributed exceeds $5,000, and the participant does not request
the distribution, the participant's account shall remain in the Plan
and may be withdrawn or distributed at the participant's request, or
as minimum required distributions beginning when the participant
attains age 70-1/2, or upon the participant's death, whichever is
earlier. When a participant dies, the participant's beneficiary or
beneficiaries may elect their share of the participant's account
balance as a single payment or as a transfer to a LTSSP-PR account in
the beneficiary's name.
Participant forfeitures in 2004 were $15,520. The total forfeited
non-vested account as of December 31, 2004 is $17,038. Forfeitures
will be used to reduce future employer contributions. During 2004,
employer contributions were reduced by $11,437 from forfeited
non-vested accounts.
For a complete description of the Plan, participants should refer to
the Plan Prospectus and Plan Summary Plan Description ("SPD"). The
Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Savings Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
method of accounting.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Valuation of Investments
Income and assets of the Master Trust are allocated to the Plan based
on participant balances. The net asset value of the Master Trust is
calculated by the Trustee. The Trustee determines the value of the
underlying assets in the investment manager portfolios, taking into
account the market values supplied by a generally accepted pricing or
quotation service or quotations furnished by one or more reputable
sources, such as securities brokers, dealers or investment bankers,
mutual fund administrators, values of comparable property, appraisals
or other relevant information. Investments in AT&T common shares and
other securities listed on national stock exchanges are carried at
fair value determined on the basis of the last published sales price
per share on the last business day of the year. Securities traded in
over-the-counter markets are carried at fair value based on the last
bid prices or closing prices on December 31, as listed in published
sources if available or, if not available, from other sources
considered reliable. Contracts with insurance companies and financial
institutions, which are fully benefit responsive, are carried at
contract value (representing contributions made under the contracts
plus accumulated interest at the contract rates). All other
investments are carried at the fair value on the close of business on
December 31. Participant loans receivable are valued at cost which
approximates fair value. Participant loans are assets of the Plan and
are not part of the Master Trust.
Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date.
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income
is accrued as earned.
Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in the Fair Value of Investments
The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of
investments, which consists of the realized gains (losses) and the
change for the year in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those
investments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
Investments held by the Master Trust and Plan are exposed to various
risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the
level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least
reasonably possible that changes in the values of investments could
occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the
statement of net assets available for benefits.
3. Tax Status
The Puerto Rico Department of Treasury has determined and informed
AT&T by letter dated May 31, 1995, that the Plan and related trust are
qualified in accordance with applicable sections of the Puerto Rico
Income Tax Act of 1954 (the "Act"). The Plan has been amended and
restated since receiving the determination letter. The Plan
Administrator, however, believes that the Plan is qualified and is
currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Act.
4. Concentrations of Investment Risk
At December 31, 2004, Plan participants' accounts that are invested in
the Company stock option are exposed to market risk in the event of a
significant decline in the value of AT&T Corp. stock.
5. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, AT&T has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of
Plan termination, the Plan provides that the net assets are to be
distributed to participating employees in amounts equal to their
respective interest in such assets.
6. Plan Expenses
In general, fees paid for Plan administration, including recordkeeping
(except for such services as are attributable to the participant loan
program), are paid from the trust, unless those expenses are paid by
the Company or participant(s). Fees for trustee services are paid out
of trust assets. Expenses attributable to the management and
investment of each of the investment options shall be charged against
respective options.
7. Master Trust Investments
The Trust Investments presented as of December 31, 2004 are those held
by State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee, in the AT&T
Savings Master Trust. The investments presented as of December 31,
2003 are those held by Fidelity Management Trust Company, as Trustee,
in the Group Trust.

8. Related Party Transactions and Party-in-Interest
In addition, the Plan invests in common shares of AT&T Corp. stock,
which qualifies as a related party transaction. At December 31, 2004
the total of these investments amounted to $220,795,948 or
approximately 3% of the Master Trust. At December 31, 2003, the total
amounted to $256,799,741 or approximately 3% of the Group Trust.
9. Subsequent Events
On January 31, 2005, SBC Communications and AT&T announced an
agreement for SBC to acquire AT&T. Employees enrolled in the AT&T
Savings Plans can continue to make contributions, choose investment
direction and receive company matching contributions until the merger
closes. Any decision on benefit plans after the close will be made by
SBC, subject to any constraints provided by the merger agreement.
Under the merger agreement, SBC has agreed that employees, for a
period of time after the merger, will have compensation and benefit
plans and programs that are no less favorable in the aggregate than
they have at AT&T. This commitment will continue to the end of the
plan year (December 31) following the first anniversary of the
closing.
In March 2005, the automatic distribution threshold changed to $1,000
from $5,000.
