Residential

Residential revenues represented 41% of the total during the second quarter, compared with 38% in the same quarter of 2007. Revenues in the residential business segment reached Ps. 272 million, an increase of 24% in comparison to Ps. 219 million in the second quarter of 2007.

The 24% increase in revenues is directly related to the 41% increase in RGUs and was mainly driven by:

1. An increase in the number of mobile RGUs to reach 38,421, and an increase in the number of pay TV RGUs to reach 11,217. The Company is now offering its bundled products to most of the customer base given the promotional offers, attractive pricing, additional digital services and expanding coverage;

2. An increase in the number of data RGUs which increased by 97% to reach 20,354; and,

3. A 14% increase in voice RGUs (formerly voice lines in service) in the residential business segment to reach 235,387.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 revenues from the residential business totaled Ps. 529 million, or 41% of total revenues from Ps. 432 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

Our sales force has successfully been able to up sell different products and services as well as bundled products under double, triple and quadruple play. This quarter RGU per customer increased from 1.1 in the second quarter of 2007 to 1.4 in the second quarter of 2008.

Commercial

Commercial revenues represented 30% of the total during the second quarter of 2008, compared with 27% in the same quarter of 2007. Revenues in the Commercial Business reached Ps. 203 million, an increase of 28% in comparison to Ps. 158 million in the same period of 2007.

The 28% or Ps. 45 million increase in revenues during the second quarter of 2008 is mainly explained by an increase in the average revenue per customer that the company recorded and an 18% increase in the number of RGUs. The increase in RGUs was mainly driven by:

1. A higher number of voice RGUs (formerly voice lines in service) which have increased by 16% to 74,399, primarily due to several small and medium business accounts that acquired tailored telecommunications solutions;

2. A higher number of data customers in the quarter to reach 2,947; and,

3. The higher number of RGUs from other value added-services that the Company provides, including: firewall protection, IT outsourcing, hosting and other services.

It is important to highlight that the number of customers decreased by 2% in comparison to the second quarter of 2007. This decrease is due to a fewer number clients that had only one or two commercial voice lines. The Commercial business has been able to increase its voice line per customer from 11.2 in the second quarter of 2007 to 13.5 lines per customer in the second quarter of 2008.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 revenues from the commercial business totaled Ps. 393 million, or 30% of total revenues, compared to Ps. 274 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

In addition, RGU per commercial customer increased from 11.4 in the second quarter of 2007 to 13.7 in the second quarter of 2008 demonstrating the ability of the commercial sales force to get customers to buy more tailored comprehensive products and outsourced services.

Public Telephony

Public Telephony represented 15% of total revenues during the second quarter of 2008. Revenues in this business unit totaled Ps. 102 million, an increase of 4% when compared to Ps. 98 million in 2007. The increase in revenues is attributed to the 28% growth in the base of public telephones installed. However and partially offsetting this revenue growth, as the number of public telephones continues to grow, the average revenue per public telephone tends to decline. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 revenues from the public telephony business totaled Ps. 196 million, or 15% of total revenues, compared to Ps. 182 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

Wholesale

In 2008, Wholesale revenues decreased by 15% to reach Ps. 81 million, in comparison to the Ps. 95 million registered during the same quarter in the previous year. The decrease in the Wholesale Business revenues was mainly driven by a change in the overall traffic mix in the network by terminating long distance minutes to less expensive top tier cities where the Company has excess capacity. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 revenues from the wholesale business decreased from Ps. 201 million recorded in the first six months of 2007 to Ps. 153 million.

Other Revenue

Other revenue represented 2% of total revenues and reached Ps. 12 million, in comparison to Ps. 9 million or 2% of total revenues in the previous quarter. Other revenues are primarily comprised of lease of microwave frequencies and CPE sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 revenues from other businesses totaled Ps. 23 million, or 2% of total revenues from Ps. 20 million recorded in the same period of 2007, also 2% of total revenues.

Network Operation Cost

Network Operation Costs in the second quarter of 2008 increased 7% or Ps. 18 million to reach Ps. 264 million in comparison to Ps. 246 million in the previous year, and was mainly due to a 9% increase in network operating services and an increase in installation expenses of 30%. However and partially offsetting this increase, technical expenses decreased by 5%.

    The increases in network operating services were mainly in:
    1. The lease of circuits and ports;
    2. The amounts paid for connection to internet services;
    3. Higher costs in long distance interconnection; and,
    4. The amounts paid for pay TV content.

However, these increases were offset by lower costs in the amounts paid to carriers for calling party pays.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 network operation costs totaled Ps. 511 million from Ps. 471 million, a 9% increase in comparison to the same period last year.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2008 was 61%, 308 basis points higher than the 58% gross margin recorded in the same period of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 gross margin was 60%, 294 basis points higher than the 58% gross margin recorded in the same period of 2007.

SG&A

SG&A expenses were Ps. 202 million in the second quarter of 2008, 18% above Ps. 171 million in the same period of 2007. The Ps. 31 million increase was mainly driven by higher salaries and staff related costs, wages and benefits as a result of an increasing headcount specifically in the residential and commercial sales forces which have increased as a result of the increased coverage areas. In addition, an increase in insurance costs, bad debt expenses, external advisory expenses and stock option compensation. These increases were partially offset by lower sales commissions and marketing expenses, among others.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 SG&A expenses totaled Ps. 387 million, 17% above Ps. 330 million reported in the same period last year.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2008 was Ps. 204 million, a 26% increase from Ps. 162 million in the same period of last year. EBITDA Margin was 30% during the period, 240 basis points higher than 28% in the second quarter of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, EBITDA amounted to Ps. 396 million, 28% higher than the Ps. 308 million registered in the same period of 2007. EBITDA margin for the six months of 2008 was 31%, 282 basis points higher than the 28% margin recorded in the same period of 2007.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2008 was Ps. 208 million, 25% higher than Ps. 166 million in the same period of last year. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 31% during the period, 244 basis points higher than 29% in the second quarter of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to Ps. 402 million, 28% higher than the Ps. 314 million registered in the same period of 2007. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the six month period of 2008 was 31%, 273 basis points higher than the 28% margin reported in the same period of 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, operating income for the Company reached Ps. 150 million, 34% higher than the result registered in the same period of 2007 of Ps. 112 million.

Comprehensive Financial Result

During the quarter, the Company registered a Comprehensive Financial Result of Ps. 43 million, a Ps. 39 million increase when compared to Ps. 4 million in the same period of 2007.

The higher Comprehensive Financial Result was due to a marginal net exchange rate gain in the second quarter of 2008, compared to a net exchange rate gain of Ps. 41 million recognized in the same period of last year as a result of the Peso revaluation, mainly due in part to the US$ cash position of the company. At June 30, 2008 the exchange rate between the Mexican Peso and the United States Dollar was Ps. 10.2841, compared to Ps. 10.7926 at the end of June 30, 2007. Also, the Company recorded an increase of 11% or Ps. 4 million on the amount of net interest paid which increased from Ps. 39 million in the second quarter of 2007 to Ps. 43 million in the second quarter of 2008.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, comprehensive cost of financing for the Company reached Ps. 107 million when compared to Ps. 68 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

As a result of the change in the accounting standards inMexico (see "Adoption of New Accounting Standards"), inflationary accounting (NIF B-10) is not required in a low-inflation environment. As of the second quarter of 2008 the Company prepared its financial statements in terms of historical Mexican pesos. Therefore, the comprehensive financial result will no longer be affected by the results in monetary position. In this case the company recorded a monetary position gain of Ps. 6 million in the second quarter of 2007 which does not compare to the second quarter of 2008.

Taxes

During the first quarter of 2008 and according to the latest tax reform in Mexico, asset tax was replaced with the flat corporate tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica). The IETU is calculated on a cash-flow basis, with the base determined by reducing taxable revenue (mainly income derived from the sale of goods, the rendering of independent services and the leasing of tangible goods) with specific deductions. Since Capex is deductible, the Company is able to minimize tax payments given the aggressive Capex plan for 2008.

The Company recorded Ps. 13 million in taxes during the second quarter 2008, compared to Ps. 49 million in the second quarter of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded Ps. 7 million in taxes, which compare to Ps. 58 million recorded in the same period of 2007.

While Asset Tax, IETU and Income Tax represent cash outflows, Deferred Income Tax is a non-cash item.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

B-10: As of January 1, 2008, the company has adopted the changes to "Inflationary Effects", B-10 in accordance with the Mexican Financial Standards ("NIF") which establishes the rules for the recognition of inflationary effects in the country; furthermore, it incorporates changes such as, reclassifying accumulated results for non-monetary assets and has the possibility of choosing between the INPC (national consumer price index) and the value of UDIs.

Consequently, the financial information corresponding to the period ended June 30, 2007 is expressed in Millions of Mexican Pesos of purchasing power at December 31, 2007 (date on which bulletin B-10 was still in effect) and the financial information for June 30, 2008 is in current Mexican Pesos.
