FIRST QUARTER 2007 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS    Net Revenues  

Net revenues increased 17.0%, or Ps.93.2 million, during 1Q07 to Ps.639.9 million.

   -- Cable Television: The 13.2%, or Ps.57.5 million, growth in cable      television revenues was principally due to a 20.2% YoY increase in the      number of subscribers to 736,205, with a penetration rate of 33%. This      was achieved despite a 3.6% decline in average monthly cable television      revenues per subscriber (ARPU) to Ps.233.2. This decline in ARPU was      primarily the result of a 40.3% increase in Minibasic subscribers, who      pay lower monthly fees, while Basic subscribers increased 13.4%. The      average monthly net churn rates for cable television declined to 2.3%      for 1Q07 from 2.8% in 1Q06.    -- High Speed Internet: The 34.4%, or Ps.27.8 million, rise in high-speed      Internet revenues resulted mainly from a 48.2% increase in the number      of subscribers to 198,471, with a penetration rate of 11%. This was      partially offset by an 8.2% decline in high-speed Internet ARPU to      Ps.204.9, as lower price/ lower-speed Internet (128 Kbps) subscriptions      increased at a faster rate than those of higher-speed Internet (512      Kbps). Average monthly net churn rates for high-speed Internet rose to      3.3% for 1Q07 from 2.6% in 1Q06 due to service quality limitations in      the Mayan Riviera during the reconstruction of the network damaged by      Hurricane Wilma and an aggressive competing service offer from Telmex.    -- IP Telephony: IP telephony revenues for the quarter rose 40.4%, or      Ps.7.0 million, to Ps. 24.3 million. During 1Q06 IP telephony revenues      included costs and expenses charged to Axtel. The expenses charged to      Axtel as part of the Joint Venture were reclassified and netted in IP      telephony cost and expenses as of 4Q06. The adjustment has no impact on      EBITDA. As of March 31, 2007, there were 26,567 IP telephony lines in      service, up from 9,936 as of March 31, 2006. IP telephony ARPU for 1Q07      was Ps. 273.1. This does not include migration fees paid to Cablemas by      Axtel for new subscribers which, if included, would increase IP      telephony ARPU to Ps.386.6 for 1Q07.     Table 1.

Operating profit for 1Q07 increased by 0.9%, or Ps.1.2 million, to Ps.128.2 million, driven mainly by a 12.8% increase in gross profit. Operating margin declined to 20.0% from 23.2% in 1Q06, principally due to the increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenues.

Cost of Services for 1Q07 increased by 21.6%, or Ps.56.7 million. The increase in cost of services was primarily due to:

    -- A Ps.16.5 million increase in programming costs, principally related       to increases in cable television subscribers and one-time Ps.5.0       million charge in 1Q07 related to an adjustment for prior periods.    -- A Ps.12.1 million increase in Internet costs of which Ps.10 million       are related to incremental cost for bandwidth a 48.2% increase in the       number of internet subscribers and the rollout of internet service in       additional cities.    -- A Ps.24.2 million increase in depreciation & amortization related to       an increase in fixed assets investments and to the change in the       estimate of the useful life of distribution lines. During 1Q06 the       useful life of these assets was estimated at 25 years compared with 15       years in 1Q07.    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses  

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (including depreciation and amortization) or SG&A, increased Ps.35.2 million, or 22.4% YoY to Ps.192.6 million. As a percentage of sales, SG&A rose 132 basis points to 30.1%, from 28.8% in 1Q06. The absolute increase in SG&A principally reflected:

    -- A 26.3%, or Ps.13.6 million, increase in selling expenses to Ps.65.5       million, principally related to the increase in the size of the       company's sales force and an increase in commissions paid (1.286       salespersons as of March 31, 2007 as compared to 1.073 as of March 31,       2006), as well as a Ps.3.6 million increase in advertising;    -- A 27.7%, or Ps.25.0 million, increase in administrative expenses to       Ps.115.6 million. As a percentage of revenues, administrative expenses       increased to 18.1% in 1Q07 from 16.6% in 1Q06. Administrative expenses       in absolute values increased principally due to:        -- A Ps.11.4 million increase in salaries and fees principally due to          the additional number of administrative employees (451 as of March          2007 and 441 as of March 2006), an increase in salaries, as well as          director's and management performance bonuses corresponding to the          fiscal year 2006 period;       -- An increase of Ps.2.0 million in telecommunications and travel          expenses, due to higher communication activities and travel          expenses.     -- Amortization and depreciation declined 23.1%, or Ps.3.5 million, to       Ps.11.5 million for 1Q07, principally due to a reclassification of       assets in 1Q07 and the amortization of SAP related investments in       1Q06.    Adjusted EBITDA  

Adjusted EBITDA for 1Q07 increased 4.6%, or Ps.10.7 million, to Ps. 243.5 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin declined 453 bps to 38.0%. The following table sets forth the reconciliation between net income to adjusted EBITDA:

Comprehensive Financial Results, Net  

Comprehensive financial results, net was a gain of Ps.10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a Ps.52.3 million improvement from the net expense of Ps.42.3 million for the corresponding period in 2006. The improvement primarily reflected a Ps.61.1 million gain in financial instruments including gains from swap instruments and a Ps.7.1 million gain in monetary position.
