Mexico City, February 3, 2005.

Consolidated Financial Results (in 2004, the results of the subsidiaries in Latin America are consolidated)

Revenues: At December 31, revenues for Telefonos de Mexico and its subsidiaries in Mexico and Latin America rose to 40,801 million pesos, an increase of 28.5% compared with the same period of 2003. For the twelve months, revenues increased 12.9%, totaling 138,802 million pesos.

Costs and Expenses: Operating costs and expenses totaled 28,448 million pesos, 38.2% higher than the fourth quarter of the previous year. For the twelve months, operating costs and expenses increased 17.3%, totaling 95,146 million pesos.

EBITDA and Operating Income: EBITDA rose to 18,384 million pesos in the fourth quarter, 8.7% higher than the same period of 2003 and the EBITDA margin was 45.1%. Operating income totaled 12,353 million pesos, an increase of 10.7%, and the margin was 30.3% in the quarter. For the twelve months, EBITDA and operating income totaled 66,603 million pesos and 43,656 million pesos, reflecting increases of 4.8% and 4.5%, respectively. The EBITDA margin was 48.0% and the operating margin was 31.5%.

Comprehensive Financing Cost (Product): Comprehensive financing cost was positive by 1,186 million pesos in the quarter. This result was due to a net interest charge of 624 million pesos, partially offset by an exchange gain of 463 million pesos resulting from the 1.3% appreciation of the peso to the US dollar (11.2648 pesos per dollar in 4Q04 vs. 11.4106 pesos per dollar in 3Q04) and the 7.1% appreciation of the Brazilian real to the US dollar (2.6544 reais per dollar in 4Q04 vs. 2.8586 reais per dollar in 3Q04), as well as for a monetary gain of 1,347 million pesos. At December 31, comprehensive financing cost was 521 million pesos, 88.3% lower than the same period of 2003.

In the fourth quarter, a credit of deferred taxes of 2,485 million pesos was charged due to the recognition of the annual gradual reduction of the income tax rate since January 2005.

Net Income: Net income rose to 10,427 million pesos in the fourth quarter, 77.5% higher than the same period of the previous year that was mainly due to the effect of the credit of 2,485 million pesos related to deferred taxes as well as for the variation of the comprehensive financing cost of 2,564 million pesos. For the twelve months, net income totaled 27,497 million pesos, 16.4% higher than the same period of 2003. The minority interest, primarily reflecting the 66.4% minority ownership in Embratel, was 315 million pesos. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter, based on the number of shares outstanding at period end, were 0.88 pesos, and earnings per ADR were 1.56 dollars.

Debt: Debt rose 30.8% to 7.993 billion dollars compared with 6.112 billion dollars at December 31, 2003 due to the consolidation of Embratel's debt of 1.219 billion dollars, to the syndicated bank loan that TELMEX obtained in July 2004 and the amortization of liabilities.

Of debt especially related to TELMEX Mexico, 6.2% is short-term, 88.5% is foreign denominated (40.7% considering hedges), and 39.8% carries a fixed rate (56.1% considering interest rate swaps).

Also, income before income tax decreased 65 million reais due to other charges and credits related to the agreements with telecommunications operators, Brasil Telecom and Telemar, the impairment of Vesper's telephone plant and an adjustment in the pension fund of the company. Specifically, depreciation of TELMEX Brasil was due to an impairment of the value of the telephone plant of 200.7 million reais. This charge was reflected in the income statement below the operating profit line. Operating income in the quarter was 62.6 million reais producing an operating margin of 3.3%. EBITDA for the quarter was 346.4 million reais, 29.2% lower than the same period of 2003, representing a margin of 18.3%.

Argentina

Revenues from the operations in Argentina during the fourth quarter totaled 70.0 million Argentinean pesos, 26.8% higher than in 2003. Specifically, the data business increased 23.0%; the voice business increased 12.1%. Operating costs and expenses increased 3.0% and totaled 71.0 million Argentinean pesos in the quarter. In particular, depreciation in the quarter decreased 44.5% due to an impairment of the value of the telephone plant of 289.4 million Argentinean pesos. This charge was reflected in the income statement below the operating profit line. In the quarter, there was an operating loss of 1.0 million Argentinean pesos. EBITDA for the quarter was 9.3 million Argentinean pesos, 92.9% higher than the same period of 2003 producing a margin of 13.2%.

Chile

Revenues from the operations in Chile during the fourth quarter totaled 14,730.6 million Chilean pesos, 0.4% higher than the previous year. The data business increased 18.0%, that partially offset the decrease of 1.2% of local revenues. Costs and expenses were 16,020.5 million Chilean pesos in the quarter, 16.6% lower than in 2003 of which transport and interconnection increased 10.0%, partially offset by a valuation of 43.0% in depreciation in the quarter and affected the value of the telephone plant which decreased 39,090.4 million Chilean pesos. This valuation was registered in TELMEX Chile Holdings, S.A. balance sheet that is a TELMEX subsidiary. The loss in operating income was 1,289.9 million Chilean pesos in the fourth quarter that compares with an operating loss of 4,536.1 million Chilean pesos last year. EBITDA totaled 1,169.3 million Chilean pesos with a margin of 7.9% in the quarter.

 

Colombia

Revenues from these operations during the fourth quarter totaled 22,159.0 million Colombian pesos, 12.8% higher than in 2003. Costs and expenses were 20,014.2 million Colombian pesos, 10.7% lower than in 2003, of which 27% was related to transport and interconnection that increased 1.9%. Depreciation in the quarter decreased 27.6% as a result of a lower valuation in the value of the telephone plant, which decreased 20,153.6 million Colombian pesos. Colombian Accounting Principles indicate that this reduction must be faced, in the case that it exists, against the surplus in the valuation of the asset. In the case of TELMEX Colombia, this criteria was observed. Commercial, administrative and general expenses decreased 16.0% compared with the fourth quarter of the previous year. Operating income for the quarter totaled 2,144.8 million Colombian pesos compared with an operating loss of 2,768.8 million Colombian pesos in the same period of last year. The operating margin was 9.7%. EBITDA totaled 7,895.8 million Colombian pesos in the quarter, 52.7% more than the same period of last year producing a margin of 35.6%.

Peru

Revenues from operations in Peru during the fourth quarter totaled 38.3 million new soles, 3.2% higher than the previous year. The voice business increased 8.8%. Costs and expenses in the quarter increased 38.8% due to the increase of 35.7% in transport and interconnection costs, as well as for higher depreciation charges. The telephone plant was reduced in 21.8 million new soles due to the valuation of depreciation. According to Peruvian Accounting Principles, the effect of this valuation had a non-recurring impact in depreciation of the period that increased 118.1% in the quarter. The operating loss was 20.8 million new soles. If the extraordinary charge was eliminated, operating income would have been 1 million new soles. EBITDA totaled 9.0 million new soles producing a margin of 23.6%.

1. Description of the business and significant accounting policies

 

I. Description of business

 

Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Company" or "TELMEX") provide telecommunications services, primarily in Mexico. However, as a result of a number of business acquisitions throughout Latin America, starting in 2004, the Company also provides its services in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru.

TELMEX obtains its revenues primarily from telecommunications services, including, among others, domestic and international long-distance and local telephone services, data transmission and internet services, and the interconnection of the subscribers with cellular networks, as well as the interconnection of domestic long-distance operators', cellular telephone companies' and local service operators' networks with the TELMEX local network. The Company also obtains revenues from other activities related to its telephone operations, such as the sale of advertising in the published telephone directory and the sale of telephone equipment.

 

An analysis of the principal subsidiaries and associated companies of TELMEX at December 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

The amended Mexican government concession under which the Company operates was signed on August 10, 1990. The concession runs through the year 2026, but it may be renewed for an additional period of fifteen years. The concession defines, among other things, the quality standards for telephone service and establishes the basis for regulating rates.

Under this concession, the Company's basic telephone service rates are subject to a ceiling determined by the Federal Telecommunications Commission (COFETEL). During the last four years, TELMEX management decided not to raise its rates for basic services.

 

Empresa Brasileira de Telecomunicações S.A. (Embratel) provides domestic and international long-distance services, which include voice and data transmission, and Star One S.A. (Star One), a subsidiary of Embratel, provides satellite services. Both companies operate under two separate concessions granted by the Brazilian federal government via the Brazilian Telecommunications Agency (Anatel). Both concessions expire in December 31, 2005. Embratel's concession for domestic and international long-distance services may be renewed for an additional 20 years and Star One's concession for satellite use may be renewed for an additional 15 years, subject to certain restrictions. In June 2003, Anatel announced the general terms and conditions under which the licenses will be renewed. Both companies formally notified Anatel of their approval of such terms and conditions and expressed their intention to renew the concessions. The companies have not yet received renewals on the agreements, though management is certain that such concessions will be renewed subject to certain rules.

 

The rest of the countries operate under concessions and government licenses.

 

II. Significant accounting policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico. The significant accounting policies and practices followed in the preparation of the financial statements are described below:

 

2.

 

 

1. Description of the business and significant accounting policies (continued)

 

a) Consolidation and basis of translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. and subsidiaries (see Note 1). All the companies operate in the telecommunications sector or they provide services to companies operating in this sector.

 

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interest refers to certain foreign subsidiaries.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries located abroad were translated into Mexican pesos in conformity with Mexican Accounting Principles Bulletin B-15, Transactions in Foreign Currency and Translation of Financial Statements of Foreign Operations, issued by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountant (MIPA), as follows:

 

The financial statements as reported by the subsidiaries abroad were adjusted to conform to accounting principles accepted in Mexico. Such conversion includes, among other areas, the recognition of the effects of inflation as required by Mexican accounting Bulletin B-10, using restatement factors of each country.

 

All balance sheet amounts, except for stockholders' equity, were translated at the prevailing exchange rate at year-end; stockholders' equity accounts were translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time capital contributions were made and earnings were generated. The statement of income amounts were translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.

Translation differences are included in the caption Effect of translation of foreign entities and are included in stockholders' equity as part of the caption other comprehensive income items.

 

b) Recognition of revenues

Revenues are recognized as they accrue and are subject to management's estimates at the date of the financial statements to the accompanying financial statements.

Local service revenues are derived from new-line installation charges, monthly service fees, measured usage charges based on the number of calls made, and other service charges to subscribers. Local service revenues also include measured usage charges based on the number of minutes in the case of prepayment plans.

 

3.

 

1. Description of the business and significant accounting policies (continued)

 

b) Recognition of revenues (continued)

Revenues from domestic and international long-distance telephone services are determined on the basis of the duration of the calls and the type of service used. All these services are billed monthly, based on the rates authorized by the relevant regulatory bodies of each country. International long-distance service revenues also include the revenues earned under agreements with foreign telephone service providers or operators for the use of facilities in interconnecting international calls. These agreements specify the rates for the use of such international interconnecting facilities. These service revenues represent the net settlement between the parties and include costs of Ps. 1,212,960 and Ps. 1,677,282 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Interconnection service revenues include charges for interconnecting fixed-system users with cellular users, as well as the interconnection of domestic long-distance operations, cellular telephone companies and local service operations networks with the Telmex local network.

 

Revenues from the sale of prepaid telephone service cards are recognized based on an estimate of the usage of time covered by the prepaid card. Revenues from corporate networks are those related to data transmission services. Revenues form prepaid internet plans are recorded as the service is provided.

 

c) Recognition of the effects of inflation on financial information

The Company recognizes the effects of inflation on financial information as required by Bulletin B-10, Accounting Recognition of the Effects of Inflation on Financial Information, issued by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants (MIPA). Consequently, the amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements and in these notes are expressed in thousands of constant Mexican pesos as of December 31, 2004. The restatement factor applied to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 was 1.0519 corresponding to the percentage inflation for the period January 1 through December 31, 2004 based on the Mexican National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) published by Banco de México (the Central Bank).

 

Plant, property and equipment and construction in progress were restated as described in Note 4. Telephone plant and equipment are mainly depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets (see Note 4 d).

Inventories for the operation of the telephone plant are valued at average cost and are restated on the basis of specific indexes. The restated value of inventories is similar to replacement value, not in excess of market.

Other non-monetary assets were restated using adjustment factors obtained from the NCPI.

4.

 

 

1. Description of the business and significant accounting policies (continued)

c) Recognition of the effects of inflation on financial information (continued)

Capital stock, premium on sale of shares, and retained earnings were restated using adjustment factors obtained from the NCPI.

Other accumulated comprehensive income items includes the deficit from restatement of stockholders' equity, which consists of the accumulated monetary position loss at the time the provisions of Bulletin B-10 were first applied, which was Ps. 13,591,715, and of the result from holding non-monetary assets, which represents the net difference between restatement by the specific indexation method (see Note 4) and restatement based on the NCPI. This item is included in stockholders' equity as part of the caption Other comprehensive income items.

The net monetary gain of each year is included in the statements of income as a part of the comprehensive financing cost. The net monetary gain represents the effect of inflation on monetary assets and liabilities.

Bulletin B-12, Statement of Changes in Financial Position, specifies the appropriate presentation of the statement of changes in financial position based on financial statements restated in constant pesos. Bulletin B-12 identifies the sources and applications of resources representing differences between beginning and ending financial statement balances in constant pesos. In accordance with this bulletin, monetary and foreign exchange gains and losses are not treated as non-cash items in the determination of resources provided by operations.

d) Cash equivalents, marketable securities and instruments available for sale

Cash equivalents consist basically of time deposits in financial institutions with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Marketable securities are represented by equity securities and corporate bonds for trading and instrument available for sale. Both are stated at market value. Change in the fair value of instruments classified as available for sale are included in comprehensive income caption of stockholders' equity through the time they are sold (see paragraph t).

e) Hedging instruments

 

To protect itself against fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, the Company uses derivatives including interest-rate swaps and short-term currency exchange hedges. The determined gains or losses on these transactions are credited or charged to income using the accrual method, net of the gains or losses on the related liabilities covered, as required by Bulleting C-2, Financial Instrument, issued by the MIPA (see Note 8).

 

5.

 

1. Description of the business and significant accounting policies (continued)

f) Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company's policy with respect to the allowance for doubtful accounts is basically to provide for accounts receivable more than 90 days old.

 

g) Equity investments in affiliates

The investment in shares of affiliates is valued using the equity method. This accounting method consists basically of recognizing the investor's equity interest in the results of operations and in the stockholders' equity of investees at the time such results are determined (see Note 6).

 

h) Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid for shares of acquired companies over the fair value of the acquired net assets. Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over periods of from 5 to 20 years (see paragraph t).

 

i) Impairment of assets

 

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the requirements of Bulletin C-15, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, issued by the MIPA in March 2003.

 

Such Bulletin C-15 establishes that if there are any indications of impairment in the value of long-lived assets, the related loss should be determined based on the recovery value of the related assets, which is defined as the difference between the assets' fair value and its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized if the net carrying amount of the assets exceeds the recovery value.

The application of this new pronouncement had no material effect on the Company's financial position or on its results of operations.

j) Exchange differences

 

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the related transactions. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences are charged or credited to income of the year.

k) Labor obligations

 

Pension, seniority premiums and medical assistance costs are recognized periodically during the years of service of personnel, based on actuarial computations made by independent actuaries, using the projected unit-credit method (see Note 7). Termination payments are charged to income in the year in which the decision to dismiss an employee is made.

6.

 

 

1. Description of the business and significant accounting policies (continued)

 

l) Liability provisions

 

Bulletin C-9, Liabilities, Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Commitments issued by the MIPA went into effect on January 1, 2003. This Bulletin establishes the rules for valuing, presenting and disclosing both liabilities and provisions. This pronouncement also establishes the specific rules for valuing and disclosing contingent assets and liabilities. It includes also the rules for disclosing commitments contracted by the Company in its day-to-day activities.

 

The initial accumulated effect of applying this accounting pronouncement and of creating the provision for vacations represented a charge to retained earnings at the beginning of 2003 of Ps. 748,489 (net of deferred taxes).

 

m) Income tax and employee profit sharing

 

The Company recognizes deferred taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized on virtually all temporary differences in balance sheet accounts for financial and tax reporting purposes, using the enacted income tax rate at the time the financial statements are issued or the income tax rate that will be in force at the time the temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to reverse.

 

The Company evaluates periodically the possibility of recovering deferred tax assets and, if necessary, creates a valuation allowance for those assets that are unlikely to be recovered.

 

Deferred employee profit sharing is provided on temporary non-recurring differences with a known turnaround time.

 

n) Comprehensive income

In conformity with Bulletin B-4, Comprehensive Income, issued by the MIPA, comprehensive income consists of current year net income plus the effects of deferred taxes, labor obligations, the translation of financial statements of foreign entities, minority interest, the result from holding non-monetary assets and changes in the value of instruments classified as available for sale applied directly to stockholders' equity.

 

o) Earnings per share

 

The Company determined earnings per share by dividing net income majority interest by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings per share was determined by adjusting earnings per share for the effect of the shares that may be delivered (potentially dilutive shares) (see Note 15), as specified in Mexican accounting Bulletin B-14, Earnings per share.

 

 

7.

 

1. Description of the business and significant accounting policies (continued)

p) Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions in certain areas. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

q) Concentration of risk

The Company invests a portion of its surplus cash in cash deposits in financial institutions with strong credit ratings. TELMEX does not believe it has significant concentrations of credit risks in its accounts receivable because it has a broad and geographically diverse customer base.

r) Segment information

Segment information is prepared based on information used by the Company in its decision making processes based on the services provided and the geographical areas in which TELMEX operates, in conformity with the requirements of Mexican accounting Bulletin B-5, Financial Information by Segment (see Note 18).

s) Financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities, equity or both

 

Requirements of Bulletin C-12, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of liabilities, equity or both, issued by the MIPA went into effect on January 1, 2004. The objective of Bulletin C-12 is to specify the differences between liabilities and equity. This Bulletin C-12 also establishes the rules for classifying and valuing the initial recognition of the components of liabilities and equity of combined financial instruments, as well as the rules for disclosing information about such instruments. The application of this new accounting pronouncement on the Company's convertible debt resulted in no change in the accounting treatment given such instruments (see Note 8).

 

t) New accounting pronouncements

 

The new accounting pronouncements which go into effect in 2005, are as follows:

 

Business acquisitions

 

In May 2004, the MIPA issued Mexican accounting Bulletin B-7, Business Acquisitions. The observance of Bulletin B-7 is compulsory for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, although earlier observance is recommended. This Bulletin addresses the financial accounting and reporting for business and entity acquisitions and requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. It also eliminates the option of amortizing goodwill and provides specific rules related to the acquisition of minority interest and to the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests between entities under common control.

8.

 

 

1. Description of the business and significant accounting policies (concluded)

 

t) New accounting pronouncements (continued)

 

Management believes that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will give rise to a decrease in the Company's operating expenses for 2005 of approximately Ps. 200,000, derived from the proscribed amortization of goodwill.

 

Financial instruments

 

In April 2004, the MIPA amended Mexican accounting Bulletin C-2, Financial Instruments. The amendments establish changes in the rules for valuing instruments classified as available-for-sale at their fair value and, unlike the previous Bulletin C-2, require the disclosure of such instruments at fair value in stockholders' equity. The amended Bulletin C-2 also provides the requirements and rules for the accounting treatment of transfers between financial asset categories. The amendments are also more precise in establishing the guidelines for the accounting treatment to be given to impairment in the fair value of financial instruments. Furthermore, the amended bulletin requires that such instruments be classified as either short-term or long-term and clarifies the rules for presenting in the statement of changes in financial position changes associated with the purchase, sale and maturity of financial instruments. Finally, the amendments broaden the disclosure rules established under Bulletin C-2.

 

The observance of this pronouncement is compulsory for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, although earlier observance is recommended. The Company has adopted the requirements of this new accounting pronouncement, which gave rise to a charge to stockholders' equity, as part of comprehensive income, of Ps. 1,104,876.

 

Financial instruments derived from hedging activities

 

In April 2004, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-10, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The observance of this pronouncement is compulsory for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, although earlier observance is recommended. Bulletin C-10 establishes the defining characteristics that financial instruments must have to be considered derivatives, as well as the conditions that must be met for specifically designating derivatives as hedges. Bulletin C-10 also provides guidelines for assessing the effectiveness of hedging derivatives and the rules for their valuation and the accounting for changes in their fair value. Management does not believe the adoption of this new accounting requirement will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or on its results of operations.

In January 2004, the MIPA issued the revised accounting Bulletin D-3, Labor Obligations. The revised bulletin establishes the overall rules for the valuation, presentation and disclosure of so-called other post-retirement benefits and the reduction and early extinguishment of such benefits, thus nullifying the provisions of Circular 50. Bulletin D-3 also provides rules applicable to Employee termination pay. The observance of these new rules is compulsory for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this new accounting requirement will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or on its results of operations.

 

u) Reclassifications

Certain amounts shown in the 2003 financial statements as originally issued have been reclassified for uniformity of presentation with 2004.

Embrapar and Embratel (Brazil)

 

In July 2004, through an agreement between MCI and TELMEX, the Company acquired for US$400 million all of MCI's direct and indirect holdings in Startel Participações Ltda and New Startel Participações Ltda, the controlling shareholders of Embratel Participações S.A. (Embrapar), representing 51.8% of the voting shares and 19.3% of total outstanding shares of Embrapar. In December 2004 TELMEX, through a public offering of US$ 271.6 million, acquired an additional 14.3% interest in Embrapar, increasing its ownership to 90.3% of the voting shares and to 33.6% of the outstanding shares of Embrapar. Embrapar, in turn, holds 98.8% of the capital stock of Embratel.

 

In December 2004, the Board of Directors' of Embrapar approved an increase in the company's capital stock of approximately US$ 700 million. Depending on market conditions at the time, TELMEX expects to exercise its right to subscribe the Embrapar shares to which it is entitled in accordance with Brazilian law in an amount ranging from US$ 210 million to US$ 700 million based on the amount subscribed by other investors. TELMEX is under no obligation to buy shares.

On March 16 and April 8, 2005, TELMEX subscribed US$231.5 million during the initial meeting to increase Embrapar's capital stock, increasing its ownership to 94.9% of the voting shares and 48.6% of the outstanding shares. In addition, TELMEX expects to exercise its right to subscribe the remaining unsubscribed shares in subsequent meetings that will take place during the period from April 15 to May 3; the outcome could increase its equity interest in Embrapar.

 

Chilesat (Chile)

 

In April 2004 TELMEX acquired in a private transaction a 40% interest in Chilesat Corp. S.A. (Chilesat) for US$ 47 million. Chilesat provides telecommunications services primarily in Chile.

In April 2004, TELMEX acquired an 80% equity interest in Techtel LMDS Comunicaciones Interactivas, S.A. and Telstar (Techtel), which provides telecommunication services in Argentina and Uruguay. A 60% equity interest was acquired from América Móvil, S.A. de C.V. (América Móvil) for US$ 75 million, and the remaining 20% equity interest was acquired from Intelec, S.A. for US$ 25 million. Since TELMEX and América Móvil are entities under common control, the excess of the cost over the book value was charged to retained earnings.

TELMEX and Globo have agreed that, subject to the closing of Net's debt restructuring on specified terms and the satisfaction of other conditions, TELMEX will (a) purchase 49% of the voting interests and all the non-voting interests in GB Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. ("GB"), a special-purpose company that will own 51% of the common shares of Net and (b) purchase additional common or non-voting preferred shares of Net from Globo. These transactions are currently expected to close in March 2005. The total cost of these transactions will be between US$ 250 million and US$ 370 million. The Company's total direct and indirect equity interest in Net will be between 30% and 60%.

 

Subsequent event

 

On February 1, 2005, TELMEX purchased from Globo 7.3% of the voting shares of Net for which it paid US$ 20.3 million. On March 21, 2005, the Company completed the transactions, subject to the parchase agreement with Globo, investing US$290.6 million, increasing TELMEX's equity interest to 36.6% of the voting shares and 7.9% of the non-voting preferred shares, which represent 19.6% of the Net outstanding shares at the end of the increasing stockholders equity process, additionally to the indirect interest in common shares of Net, through GB.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the market value of the trust fund for pensions and seniority premiums exceeded the current benefit obligation by Ps. 8,650,825 and
Ps. 3,691,498, respectively. In conformity with Mexican accounting Bulletin D-3, Labor Obligations, the balance sheets show a net projected asset of Ps. 25,622,601 and
Ps. 23,495,279 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

En 2004, the net actuarial gain of Ps. 1,690,227 was derived primarily from an actuarial gain of Ps. 9,394,134, due to the favorable effect on plan assets of the overall behavior of the Mexican Stock Exchange and the increase in fixed-yield interest rates, as well as and an actuarial loss of Ps. 7,703,907, attributable to the increase in the projected benefit obligation due primarily to the fact that: (i) the number of employees that retired exceeded estimates made at the beginning of the year, (ii) that the Company modified the estimated retirement age based on experience with retiring personnel (iii) and the Company updated the plans mortality rates.

 

In 2003, the net actuarial gain of Ps. 1,986,506 was derived primarily from an actuarial gain of Ps. 5,461,511, due to the favorable effect on plan assets of the overall behavior of the Mexican Stock Exchange, and an actuarial loss of Ps. 3,475,005 attributable to the increase in the projected benefit obligation due primarily to the fact that the number of employees who retired exceeded the estimated number at the beginning of the year.

Brazil

 

The Company has established a defined benefits pension plan (DBP) and a defined contribution plan (DCP) that covers virtually all of its employees, as well as a medical assistance plan (MAP) for its DBP participants. Liabilities recorded at December 31, 2004 for such plans are as follows:

Pension amounts are determined on the basis of compensations of employees in their final year of employment, their seniority, and their age at the time of retirement. The Company has established funds through Telos - Fundación Embratel de Seguridad Social, an independent entity that manages the fund.

 

The transition liability for the DPB is being amortized over a period of 20 years, which is the estimated remaining working lifetime of the Company's employees. Variances in assumptions are being amortized over a period of 19 years, which is the expected remaining lifetime of the Company's retired personnel.

Convertible debt

 

On June 11, 1999, the Company issued US$ 1,000 million in convertible senior debentures that matured on June 15, 2004. During 2004 and 2003, TELMEX repurchased US$ 424.7 million of its convertible debentures, while some investors exercised their rights to convert debentures in the amount of US$ 5 million to 3,417,540 series "L" shares. On the maturity date, the outstanding balance on the debentures was US$ 570.3 million, which was amortized as follows: US$ 569.8 million was converted to 385,285,200 shares at a ratio of 33.8110 ADR's (one ADR equals 20 series "L" shares) per US$ 1 thousand in principal and US$ 0.5 million was repaid in cash. Interest accrued on the debentures was Ps. 748,558 in 2004 (Ps. 731,582 in 2003).

 

Bonds:

 

  1. On January 26, 2001, TELMEX issued senior notes for US$ 1,000 million, maturing in 2006 and bearing 8.25% annual interest payable semiannually. Additionally, on May 8, 2001, TELMEX issued supplemental senior notes for US$ 500 million with similar characteristics. In 2004, accrued interest on the bonds was Ps. 1,513,187 (Ps. 1,502,756 in 2003).
  2.  

  3. On November 19, 2003, TELMEX issued senior notes for US$ 1,000 million maturing in 2008 and bearing 4.50% annual interest payable semiannually. In 2004, accrued interest on the bonds was Ps. 550,690 (Ps. 90,856 in 2003).

Syndicated loan

On July 15, 2004 the Company entered into syndicated loan agreements for US$ 2,425 million structured into two tranches. The first loan is for US$ 1,525 million, has a three-year maturity and bears interest at the LIBOR plus 0.45%. The second loan is for US$ 900 million, has a five-year maturity and bears interest at the LIBOR plus 0.525%. The balance of these loans is included under Banks (U.S. dollar denominated liabilities).

8. Long-term Debt (continued)

 

Domestic senior notes

 

At December 31, 2004, TELMEX has placed domestic senior notes ("Certificados Bursatiles") for a total of Ps. 7,450,000 million under the Ps. 10,000 million program authorized by the National Banking and Securities Commission.

Lines of credit

At December 31, 2004, the Company has long-term lines of credit with certain foreign finance institutions. The unused portion of committed lines of credit at December 31, 2004 totaled approximately Ps. 2,331,100, at a floating interest rate of approximately LIBOR plus 49 basis points at the time of use. At December 31, 2004, Embratel has unused lines of credit in the amount of US$ 143,515 that bear 3.5% interest at the time of use.

Prepaid debt

During 2004, TELMEX prepaid a portion of its debt with a number of financial institutions, excluding the repurchase of convertible bonds, in the amount of approximately US$ 948 million.

In December 2004, Embratel concluded its prepayment of the debt included in its 2003 refinancing program. During the second half of 2004, Embratel prepaid approximately US$ 558 million, thus settling loans bearing annual interest at the LIBOR plus 4% and the ICD (Interbank certificate of deposit) plus 4%. Such loans were paid using proceeds from issuing commercial paper and from other financing obtained during the fourth quarter 2004. The purpose of repaying such loans was to reduce Embratel's cost of financing and release the guarantees provided under the debt refinancing program.

Embratel also repaid early US$ 22 million in other debt not included in the refinancing program that bore annual interest of approximately the LIBOR plus 3.5%.

 

In November 2004, Embratel issued R$1,000 million in promissory notes (commercial paper) to substitute the local debt agreed on in the 2003 debt refinancing plan. Such notes represent 102.3% of the ICD and have 180-day maturities that may be rolled over for additional 180-day terms. Also, during the last quarter of 2004, Embratel obtained loans in the amount of US$ 165 million with one-year maturities that bear annual interest at the LIBOR plus 1.2%.

8. Long-term Debt (continued)

 

Hedges

As part of its currency hedging strategy, the Company (excluding Embratel) uses derivatives to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on U.S. dollar denominated transactions. During 2004, the Company entered into short-term exchange rate hedges which, at December 31, 2004, cover liabilities of US$ 3,220 million (US$ 585 million in 2003). In 2004, the Company recognized a charge of Ps. 499,679 (credit of Ps. 826,886 in 2003) to results of operations for these hedges corresponding to exchange differences.

To offset its exposure to financial risks, the Company entered into interest-rate swaps. Under these contracts, the Company agreed to receive 182-day "TIIE" interbank rate and the treasury certificate (CETES) rate for contracts in Mexican pesos and to pay fixed rates on the amount determined by applying agreed interest rates to the base amount. The effect of interest-rate swaps was recorded in results of operations.

 

At December 31, 2004, the Company had interest-rate swaps for a total base amount of Ps. 12,390 million. The Company had interest-rate swaps for a total base amount of US$ 1,050 million paying fixed rates and receiving a six-month LIBOR rate, and of US$ 1,050 million under which it pays a six-month LIBOR rate and receives a fixed rate. At December 31, 2003, the Company had interest-rate swaps for a total base amount of Ps. 12,390 million and US$ 1,200 million. In the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recognized a net expense for these swaps in comprehensive financing cost of Ps. 418,632 (Ps. 481,054 in 2003). Additionally, in 2003 the Company replaced some of its Mexican peso-denominated hedges, recognizing a charge to comprehensive financing cost of Ps. 1,012,210.

 

The subsidiary Embratel also uses financial instruments with banks (swaps and forwards) to minimize the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the Brazilian real due to foreign currency denominated loans and interest. Such hedges cover the amounts of Brazilian real necessary to pay exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated liabilities. At December 31, 2004, the Company paid liabilities of US$ 323.9 million. Under these contracts, Embratel recognized during the period from August through December 2004 a charge of Ps. 767,817 corresponding to exchange differences.

b) At December 31, 2004, the Company has non-cancelable commitments of
Ps. 9,389,669 (Ps. 8,764,530 in 2003) for the purchase of equipment. Payments made under purchase agreements aggregated Ps. 9,059,660 in 2004 and Ps. 3,944,213 in 2003.

 

c) At December 31, 2004 the Company has outstanding letters of credit for approximately Ps. 122,436 (Ps. 167,000 in 2003), issued to foreign suppliers for purchase of materials and supplies.

 

Contingencies Mexico

d) In February 1998, the Federal Commission of Economic Competition (COFECO) determined that Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. has substantial power in what it referred to as five telecommunications markets so that, in conformity with Article 63 of the Federal Telecommunications Act, COFETEL may impose specific obligations with respect to rates charged and quality of services and information.

 

The Company's external lawyers who are handling this matter are of the opinion that this finding is unjustified. Consequently, Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. filed an appeal in the Federal District Court and obtained protection and shelter under Mexican Federal law. In September 2004, COFECO handed down a new ruling supporting the findings with respect to the substantial power that Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. exercises over five telecommunications markets. Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. filed an appeal in the Federal District Court. In October 2004, such appeal was admitted by the court and the final ruling is still pending.

 

As a result, the COFECO has initiated other proceedings against Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. that have also being appealed.

e) In December 1995, a competitor that provides cellular telephone services reported Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. to the COFECO for alleged monopolistic practices and undue concentration.

In July 2001, the COFECO ruled that Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. was responsible for monopolistic practices and undue concentration. Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. filed an appeal for reconsideration against the ruling, but the appeal was declared unfounded and the ruling confirmed.

 

The respective defense against the confirmation of the ruling has been presented before the Federal Court of Justice for Tax and Administrative Matters.

12. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

f) The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) audited Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. for the 1997-2001 period. At the conclusion of the audit, it was determined that Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. owed a total of approximately Ps. 330 million (historical amount) in both taxes, fines, surcharges and restatements at July 2, 2003. Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. filed an appeal before the Federal Court of Justice for Tax and Administrative Matters, and in accordance with Mexican laws, by means of a bank trust guaranteed payment of such tax liability through July 1, 2005. The Company's external lawyers who are handling this matter are of the opinion that although the Company's appeal is well founded, there is no guarantee that it will prevail.

 

Contingencies of Embratel and Star One

 

Brazilian value-added goods and services tax (ICMS)

 

The subsidiary Embratel received a number of fines for non-payment of ICMS for services provided, including international services and others, considered by the subsidiary Embratel as partially or entirely exempt or nontaxable. Amounts of approximately Ps. 368,000 are considered as probable losses in the cases and were duly provided for in the subsidiary's financial statements. Amounts considered as corresponding to claims in which the lawyer's consider Embratel will prevail are approximately Ps. 3,793,000. As a result, such amount have not been provided for.

 

In July 2002, the subsidiary Star One received two assessments by the tax authorities in the state of Rio de Janeiro for payment of ICMS in the amount of approximately
Ps. 1,001,000. These assessments refer to the ICMS tax on internet and satellite use. In March 2004, Star One was required to pay approximately Ps. 84,000 in the Brazilian Federal District for ICMS not paid on satellite use and other obligations. Based on management's and the lawyers' estimates, Star One faces little risk of losing these above-mentioned suits and consequently, has not provided for such amounts in its financial statements.

The Company's external lawyers who are handling this matter are of the opinion that although the Company's case is well founded, there is no guarantee that it will prevail.

 

 

 

 

32.

 

12. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

Income Tax on Inbound International Income

 

Based on its legal advisors' opinion, the subsidiary Embratel believes that the foreign operating income from telecommunications services (inbound traffic) is not subject to taxation. In connection with this matter, in late March 1999, the Brazilian Federal Tax Agency (SRF) assessed the subsidiary in the amount of Ps. 1,219,000 approximately for failing to pay the related income tax for the years 1996 and 1997. Embratel appealed to the Taxpayers' Council against this decision, which is still pending.

 

In June 1999, the subsidiary Embratel was further assessed for nonpayment of income tax on net foreign source income for 1998 amounting to approximately Ps. 273,000.

 

As a result of an unfavorable ruling of the administrative defense contesting this assessment, the Company requested a writ of mandamus, which was initially rejected by the court. However, such ruling was subsequently modified so as to reflect a favorable decision for Embratel. Based on the opinion of the subsidiary's management and its legal advisors, who consider the probability of loss as unlikely, the related amounts of the suits have not been provided for.

The Company's external lawyers who are handling this matter are of the opinion that although the Company's case is well founded, there is no guarantee that it will prevail.

 

Brazilian Social Welfare Tax on Service Exports (PIS)

In August 2001, Embratel received a tax claim from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (SRF) totaling approximately Ps. 675,000 for payment of the PIS prior to 1995, which had been offset in accordance with Brazilian tax law. Based on the facts and arguments provided, and also on the opinion of the Company's external lawyers, Embratel's management considers the probability of a loss and no provision was recorded in the financial statements for this matter. The Company's external lawyers who are handling this matter are of the opinion that although the Company's case is well founded, there is no guarantee that it will prevail.

 

Brazilian Finance Tax for Service Export Security Tax (COFINS)

 

There is also a claim against Embratel amounting approximately Ps. 1,451,000 related to the COFINS exemption on the exportation of telecommunication services for revenues through the end of 1999. According to management, there were several errors in the computation of this tax made by the government auditor and, consequently, such amount was later reduced to approximately Ps. 934,000. Embratel appealed the case in the highest administrative court and in July 2003, a ruling was issued requiring the claim to be returned to the first administrative level. A final decision was made by the first administrative level and the remaining restated amount is approximately Ps. 1,004,000.

 

33.

 

12. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

Based on the facts and arguments provided, and also on the opinion of the Company's external lawyers, Embratel's management considers the probability of a loss in this case as unlikely. Accordingly, no provision was recorded in the financial statements for this matter.

The Company's external lawyers who are handling this matter are of the opinion that although the Company's case is well founded, there is no guarantee that it will prevail.

 

Disputes with third parties

 

Certain cases are in an advanced stage of the litigation process and, according to Embratel's external lawyers, the subsidiary stands a chance of losing at least some of the cases; consequently, Ps. 700,060 (restated) has been provided for possible unfavorable rulings. For other litigation totaling Ps. 62,809, Embratel provided guarantee deposits of Ps. 45,982. According to the Company's external lawyers, although the Company's arguments in this case are well-grounded, there is no guarantee of a favorable outcome.

The combined number of Series "L" shares, which have limited voting rights and may be freely subscribed, and Series "A" shares may not exceed 80% of capital stock.

36.

 

15. Stockholders' Equity (continued)

 

b) In 1994, TELMEX initiated a program to purchase its own shares. A charge is made to retained earnings for the excess cost of the shares purchased over the percentage of capital stock represented by the shares acquired.

 

At meetings held on November 30, 2004, March 1, 2004 and April 29, 2003, the stockholders approved an increase of Ps. 8,000,000, Ps. 12,000,000 and Ps. 7,601,474 (historical), respectively, in the total authorized historical amount to be used by the Company to acquire its own shares, bringing the total maximum amount to be used for this purpose to Ps. 9,384,119, Ps. 12,001,362 and Ps. 10,000,000 (historical), respectively.

 

During 2004, the Company acquired 707.8 million Series "L" shares for Ps. 13,860,547 (historical cost of Ps. 13,482,173) and 1.7 million Series "A" shares for Ps. 33,036 (historical cost of Ps. 32,134).

 

During 2003, the Company acquired 668.3 million Series "L" shares for Ps. 12,007,515 (historical cost of Ps. 11,197,226) and 3.9 million Series "A" shares for Ps. 70,720 (historical cost of Ps. 65,805).

 

c) In conformity with the Mexican Corporations Act, at least 5% of net income of the year must be appropriated to increase the legal reserve. This practice must be continued each year until the legal reserve reaches at least 20% of capital stock issued and outstanding.

 

d) In 2004, as a result of the maturity of the convertible senior debentures, the Company issued 388.7 million Series "L" shares (see Note 8).

 

e) Earnings per share are obtained by dividing net income for the year by the average weighted number of shares issued and outstanding during the period. To determine the average weighted number of shares issued and outstanding, the shares held by the Company have been excluded from the computation.

 

The diluted earnings per share were determined considering the effect of the shares that may be delivered (potentially dilutive shares) as a result of the convertible senior debentures described in Note 8 and of the stock options described in Note 17. The computation was made by decreasing net income for the year, by comprehensive financing costs, net of income tax and employee profit sharing derived from the convertible debentures. The adjusted income was divided by the average weighted number of shares issued and outstanding, taking into account the number of potentially dilutive shares.

16. Income Tax, Asset Tax and Employee Profit Sharing

a) The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit authorized TELMEX to consolidate the group tax returns effective January 1, 1995. The Instituto Tecnológico de Teléfonos de México, S.C. and the subsidiaries acquired during the year are excluded from this tax consolidation.

 

On November 1, 2004, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (Hacienda) authorized the transmission of the tax consolidation of Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. to that of Carso Global Telecom, S.A. de C.V. (controlling company of TELMEX) starting in 2005 in conformity with the Mexican Income Tax Law. However, this does not result in the tax deconsolidation of Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. or its subsidiaries, nor in their ceasing to consolidate for tax purposes.

 

 

38.

16. Income Tax, Asset Tax and Employee Profit Sharing (continued)

 

b) The 1.8% asset tax, which is a minimum income tax, is payable on the average value of most assets net of certain liabilities. Since asset tax may be credited against income tax, the former is actually payable only to the extent that it exceeds income tax. Asset tax for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was Ps. 2,706,462 and
Ps. 3,004,233, respectively. In both years TELMEX credited against these amounts the corporate income tax paid in such years.

18. Segments (conclude)

 

(1) Revenues of the recently acquired Latin American subsidiaries derive principally from long-distance services.

 

Intersegmental transactions are reported at fair value. Comprehensive financing cost and provisions for income tax and employee profit sharing are not assigned to the segments; they are handled at the corporate level.

 

Segment assets include plant property and equipment (on a gross basis) construction in progress, advances to suppliers of equipment and inventories for operation of the telephone plant.

 

 

19. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States reconciliation

 

'The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP, which differ in certain significant respects from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (''U.S. GAAP''). The principal differences between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP, as they relate to the Company, consist of the accounting for pension plan costs, deferred income taxes and deferred employee profit sharing (deferred taxes), and the restatement of plant, property and equipment. Other differences are the accounting for interest on assets under construction, accrued vacation costs and the effect of derivated instruments.

 

'The reconciliation to U.S. GAAP does not include the reversal of the adjustments to the financial statements for the effects of inflation required under Mexican GAAP (Bulletin B-10), because the application of Bulletin B-10 represents a comprehensive measure of the effects of price level changes in the Mexican economy and, as such, is considered a more meaningful presentation than historical cost- based financial reporting for both Mexican and U.S. accounting purposes.

 

'A summary reconciliation of net income, comprehensive income and total stockholders' equity between Mexican and U.S.GAAP, is as follows:
