COMPLEMENTARY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL POLICIES:
FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOLLOWED BY THE
COMPANY IN THE PREPARATION OF THE UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
1.1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
THE UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN MEXICO (MEXICAN GAAP)
ISSUED BY THE MEXICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (MIPA).
AS OF JUNE 1, 2004, THE MEXICAN BOARD FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF
FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS, OR CINIF, ASSUMED THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
ESTABLISHING MEXICAN ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING STANDARDS. AS PART OF ITS
RESPONSIBILITY, AND AFTER DUE EXPOSURE IN 2004 AND 2005, THE CINIF ISSUED
SEVERAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (NORMAS DE INFORMACION FINANCIERA, OR
NIFS) THAT BECAME EFFECTIVE ON JANUARY 1, 2006.
THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE OF THE CINIF IN ISSUING THE NIFS IS TO ACHIEVE
GREATER CONCURRENCE BETWEEN MEXICAN GAAP AND INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL
REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRSS).
THE STRUCTURE OF THE NIFS IS AS FOLLOWS:
- NEW BULLETINS AND INTERPRETATIONS TO THE BULLETINS ISSUED BY CINIF.
- EXISTING BULLETINS ISSUED BY THE ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES BOARD OF THE
MEXICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN AMENDED,
REPLACED OR REPEALED BY THE NEW NIFS.
- IFRSS THAT ARE SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDANCE TO BE USED WHEN MEXICAN GAAP
DOES NOT PROVIDE PRIMARY GUIDANCE.
THE CIRCULARS ISSUED BY THE ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES BOARD WILL CONTINUE
TO HAVE THE STATUS OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND WILL BE PART OF THE NIFS UNTIL
SUCH TIME AS THEY ARE REPLACED OR REPEALED BY NIFS.
THE NIFS ISSUED TO DATE ARE NOT EXPECTED TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT
ON FINANCIAL INFORMATION REPORTING. THEY ARE THE FOLLOWING:
NIF A-1 "FINANCIAL INFORMATION STANDARDS STRUCTURE".
NIF A-2 "BASIC PRINCIPLES".
NIF A-3 "USERS REQUIREMENTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OBJECTIVES".
NIF A-4 "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS".
NIF A-5 "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BASIC ELEMENTS".
NIF A-6 "RECOGNITION AND VALUATION".
NIF A-7 "PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE".
NIF A-8 "SUPPLEMENTARY STANDARDS TO MEXICAN GAAP".
NIF B-1 "ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR CORRECTIONS".
1.2 BASIS FOR COMPARISSON EFFECTS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
THE UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH MEXICAN GAAP AND REFLECT THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE MEXICAN PESO AS
OF THE MOST RECENT REPORTING DATE. FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES, UNCONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PRIOR YEARS HAVE ALSO BEEN RESTATED TO REFLECT
IDENTICAL PURCHASING POWER, USING FACTORS DERIVED FROM CHANGES IN THE
NATIONAL CONSUMER PRODUCTS INDEX (NCPI) ISSUED BY BANCO DE MEXICO.
1.3 INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES:
INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES STOCKS ARE VALUED BY
THE PARTICIPATION METHOD. THE ACQUISITION COST OF THE STOCKS IS MODIFIED
BY THE PROPORTIONAL PART OF THE CHANGES IN THE CAPITAL STOCK OF AFFILIATED
AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES AFTER THE ACQUISITION DATE. PARTICIPATION OF THE
COMPANY IN THE AFFILIATED AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES' INCOME IS PRESENTED
SEPARATELY IN THE STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.
1.4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD FOR TRADING OR AVAILABLE FOR SALE ARE VALUED AT
FAIR VALUE (WHICH IS SIMILAR TO MARKET VALUE) WITH GAINS OR LOSSES
RECOGNIZED IN THE STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS. FAIR VALUE IS THE AMOUNT FOR
WHICH A FINANCIAL ASSET CAN BE EXCHANGED OR A FINANCIAL LIABILITY CAN BE
PAID IN AN ARM'S-LENGTH TRANSACTION BETWEEN INTERESTED AND WILLING PARTIES.
1.5 RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES VALUATION IN FOREIGN CURRENCY:
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS ARE RECORDED AT THE APPLICABLE EXCHANGE RATE IN
EFFECT AT THE TRANSACTION DATE. MONETARY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES DENOMINATED IN
FOREIGN CURRENCY ARE TRANSLATED INTO MEXICAN PESOS AT THE APPLICABLE EXCHANGE
RATE IN EFFECT AT THE BALANCE SHEET DATE. DIFFERENCES DUE TO EXCHANGE RATE
FLUCTUATIONS FROM TRANSACTIONS AND PAYMENT DATES OR VALUATIONS AS OF THE MOST
RECENT BALANCE SHEET DATE ARE RECOGNIZED IN INCOME. EXCHANGE RATE AS OF JUNE
30st,2006 WAS $11.2723.
