ANNEX 1

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT

Consolidated

Final printing

---Highlights

Fourth Quarter 2009

 

·         At year-end 2009 we had 15.882 million lines, including 703 thousand public telephony lines and 1.7 million social telephony lines. The year-end total for the first time excludes lines on which payments were behind by at least two months. That action reduced the number of lines by 1.2 million. The year-end 2008 total included 1.1 million lines on which payments were behind by at least two months.

 

·         In the Mexican telecommunications market, including cellular telephony and services provided by other fixed-line operators, TELMEX has 15.8% of total lines and is the third operator in the market in terms of lines after Telcel and Telefónica. TELMEX has 80.6% of fixed lines, below the average of 85.3% for 35 countries worldwide included in the Bank of America/ Merrill Lynch Global Wireline Matrix.

 

·         During the fourth quarter, we continued growth, but at a lower pace in broadband Infinitum (ADSL) services, the fastest connection, with a gain of 221 thousand services, bringing the total to 6.5 million customers. Compared with December 2003, the speed of Internet services has multiplied 100 times from 56 Kbps to more than 5 Mbps.  In that period the number of customers has increased more than 36 times and the price per kilobyte in packages has decreased 48 times.

 

·         This growth has been driven by installment sales of more than 2.5 million computers since 1999. The lack of computers in Mexican homes is the main limitation for higher broadband growth, which also is slowed by the shortage of domestic applications and content on the Internet.

 

·         Based on the last report from Teligen (November, 2009), the OECD’s tariff consultant, Mexico continues to be one of the countries with the lowest telephony prices in all of the OECD, resulting from TELMEX’s policy of supporting the country’s and consumers’ economic well-being by reducing  its prices for the last 10 years in real terms.

 

·         TELMEX has decided to reduce the prices of its packages that include Infinitum, Internet access through broadband and various voice services for discounted prices in spite of new taxes (a special telecommunications tax of 3% and a 1% increase in the value added tax). 

 

·         At TELMEX, one of our main commitments is to promote penetration and access to broadband services. The TELMEX 2010 program –Driving Technological Innovation– positions Teléfonos de México as the main promoter of connectivity, education and digital culture and the development of information technologies in our country, supported by our world-class network along with the company’s highly trained personnel. The program comprises the following:

 

o  Increase connectivity in the country:  TELMEX will contribute so the country reaches 12 million broadband accesses in the next three years, including all technologies and all providers, with the result that more than half of the population will be able to access the Internet. Additionally, this year, Infinitum´s access speed will be increased while maintaining the quality, continuity and speed consistency that characterize this service.  The number of sites with Infinitum Móvil will be doubled to reach 3,000 nationwide this year.

o  Enhance Information Technologies:  Start the operation of the Instituto Tecnológico de Teléfonos de México en Tecnologías de la Información (Inttelmex IT), (TELMEX´s Technological Institute of Information Technologies) to expand training (of 1,000 professionals) in the application of information technologies. 

  o Support Education and Digital Culture: Through the operation of 3,300 Bibliotecas Digitales TELMEX (TELMEX DigitalLibraries) and 1,000 Aulas Digitales TELMEX (TELMEX Digital Classrooms) at year-end 2010.

 

·         Revenues in the fourth quarter totaled 29.7 billion pesos, a decrease of 3.9% compared with the same period of the previous year. Revenues related to corporate networks services increased 43.1% and Internet access revenues increased 13.6%.  Local, long distance and interconnection revenues decreased 8.5%. 20.8% and 16.4%, respectively.

 

·         In the fourth quarter, EBITDA (1) totaled 12.2 billion pesos, producing a margin of 41.2%. Operating income totaled 7.8 billion pesos, with a margin of 26.1%.

 

·         Net income from controlling interest in the quarter totaled 5.0 billion pesos, 67.7% higher than the fourth quarter of 2008. For the fourth quarter, earnings per share were 27 Mexican cents, 68.8% higher than the same year-earlier period, and earnings per ADR (2) were 41 US cents, an increase of 64.0% compared with the fourth quarter of 2008.

 

·         At December 31, 2009, total debt was the equivalent of 7.878 billion dollars. Total net debt (3) was equivalent to 6.777 billion dollars, 678 million dollars less than December 31, 2008. 

 

·         In the fourth quarter, capital expenditures (Capex) were the equivalent of 124 million dollars and for the twelve months, Capex was the equivalent of 661 million dollars. From October to December, the company used 1.045 billion pesos to repurchase 91 million 969 thousand of its own shares.

 

(1) EBITDA: defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization. Go to www.telmex.com in the Investor Relations section where you will find the reconciliation of EBITDA to operating income.

(2) One ADR represents 20 shares.

(3) Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

 

Relevant Event

 

TELMEX Shareholders´ Meeting Resolutions

 

On December 1, 2009, TELMEX´s Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved the payment of a special cash dividend of 0.40 Mexican pesos per outstanding share in a single payment made in Mexico on or after December 17, 2009, resulting from unappropriated earnings.  For holders of American Depositary Shares, the payment date was December 24, 2009

 Operating Results

 Lines and local traffic

At year-end 2009 we had 15.882 million lines, including 703 thousand public telephony lines and 1.7 million social telephony lines. The year-end total for the first time excludes lines on which payments were behind by at least two months. That action reduced the number of lines by 1.2 million. The year-end 2008 total included 1.1 million lines on which payments were behind by at least two months.

 In the Mexican telecommunications market, including cellular telephony and services provided by other fixed-line operators, TELMEX has 15.8% of total lines and is the third operator in the market in terms of lines after Telcel and Telefónica. TELMEX has 80.6% of fixed lines, below the average of 85.3% for 35 countries worldwide included in the Bank of America/ Merrill Lynch Global Wireline Matrix.

 During the fourth quarter, local calls decreased 7.7% compared with the same period of 2008, totaling 5 billion local calls. Local traffic volume continues to be affected mainly by the increase in cellular telephony services, which is changing our customers’ consumption habits, by the reduction in the number of lines and by competition from other operators. 

 Long distance

In the fourth quarter, domestic long distance (DLD) traffic decreased 2.3% compared with the previous year’s fourth quarter, totaling 4.810 billion minutes, in spite of the fact that there was growth of multi-service package offerings that include DLD minutes and an increase in termination traffic from other long distance operators. These positive contributions were offset by the decrease in termination traffic with cellular telephony operators.

 In the quarter, outgoing international long distance (ILD) traffic decreased 26.8% compared with the year-earlier fourth quarter, totaling 307 million minutes. The decline reflected a decrease in traffic from mobile operators and the slowdown of economic activity in the country. Incoming international long distance traffic decreased 0.7% compared with the same period of the previous year, totaling 1.760 billion minutes.  The incoming-outgoing ratio was 5.7x.

 Interconnection

In the fourth quarter, interconnection traffic totaled 10.678 billion minutes, 6.8% lower than the same quarter of 2008, mainly due to the decrease of 13.0% in calling party pays traffic. Interconnection traffic with local, long distance and cellular telephony operators decreased 4.9%.

 Internet access

During the fourth quarter, we continued growth, but at a lower pace in broadband Infinitum (ADSL) services, the fastest connection, with a gain of 221 thousand services, bringing the total to 6.5 million customers. Compared with December 2003, the speed of Internet services has multiplied 100 times from 56 Kbps to more than 5 Mbps.  In that period the number of customers has increased more than 36 times and the price per kilobyte in packages has decreased 48 times.

 This growth has been driven by installment sales of more than 2.5 million computers since 1999. The lack of computers in Mexican homes is the main limitation for higher broadband growth, which also is slowed by the shortage of domestic applications and content on the Internet.

 TELMEX has decided to reduce the prices of its packages that include Infinitum, Internet access through broadband and various voice services for discounted prices in spite of new taxes (a special telecommunications tax of 3% and a 1% increase in the value added tax). 

 Financial Results

The following financial information for 2009 and 2008 is presented in nominal pesos, according to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards.

 Revenues In the fourth quarter revenues totaled 29.7 billion pesos, a decrease of 3.9% compared with the same period of the previous year. Revenues related to corporate networks services increased 43.1% and Internet access revenues increased 13.6%.  Local, long distance and interconnection revenues decreased 8.5%. 20.8% and 16.4%, respectively. 

Costs and expenses: In the fourth quarter, total costs and expenses were 21.971 billion pesos, 1.2% higher than the same period of the previous year, mainly due to higher costs of equipment for customer sales and to the increase in the reserve for uncollectables, partially offset by lower interconnection costs resulting from the decrease of 9.9% in the amount paid to cellular telephony operators for calling party pays services and by initiatives to optimize resource use.   

·         Cost of sales and services: In the fourth quarter, cost of sales and services increased 7.5% compared with the same period of 2008, totaling 9.290 billion pesos, due to higher costs related to services for corporate customers and computer sales at Tiendas TELMEX (TELMEX Stores). 

EBITDA (1) and operating income: EBITDA (1) totaled 12.241 billion pesos in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 10.9% compared with the same period of the previous year. The EBITDA margin was 41.2%. Operating income totaled 7.776 billion pesos in the fourth quarter and the operating margin was 26.1%.  

Financing cost: In the fourth quarter, financing cost produced a charge of 1.221 billion pesos. This resulted from: i) a net interest charge of 1.276 billion pesos, which includes the recognition of the market value of interest rate swaps, partially offset by the decrease in interest paid due to lower debt and ii) a net exchange gain of 55 million pesos from the fourth-quarter exchange rate appreciation of 0.4455 pesos per dollar and 4.423 billion dollars in dollar-peso hedges at year-end 2009. 

Net income from controlling interest: In the fourth quarter, net income from controlling interest totaled 4.995 billion pesos, 67.7% higher than the same period of the previous year. Earnings per share were 27 Mexican cents, 68.8% higher than the same quarter of 2008, and earnings per ADR (2) were 41 US cents, an increase of 64.0% compared with the same period of the prior year.  

Investments and other uses of cash:  In the fourth quarter, capital expenditures (Capex) were the equivalent of 124 million dollars and for the twelve months, Capex was the equivalent of 661 million dollars, of which 67.4% was used for projects in the data and connectivity platform and transmission networks, and the rest for operational support projects. 

Debt: Total debt at December 31, 2009, was the equivalent of 7.878 billion dollars, of which 80.8% is long-term, 49.6% has fixed rates considering interest rate swaps, and 67.7% is in foreign currency, equivalent to 5.336 billion dollars. To minimize risks from variations in the exchange rate, at the end of December we had dollar-peso hedges for 4.423 billion dollars.  

Total net debt (3) decreased during the last twelve months the equivalent of 678 million dollars, bringing the total to 6.777 billion dollars.  

Repurchase of shares: During the fourth quarter, the company used 1.045 billion pesos to repurchase 91 million 969 thousand of its own shares.

1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

I.  Description of the Business

 Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Company” or “TELMEX”) provide telecommunications services, primarily in Mexico, including domestic and international long distance and local telephone services, data services, the interconnection of subscribers with cellular networks (calling party pays), as well as the interconnection of domestic long distance carriers’, cellular telephone companies’ and local service carriers’ networks with the TELMEX local network. TELMEX also obtains revenues from the sale of telephone equipment and personal computers.

 The amended Mexican government concession under which TELMEX 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. Among other significant aspects, the concession stipulates the requirements to provide telephony services and establishes the basis for regulating rates.

 The rates to be charged for basic telephone services are subject to a cap determined by the Federal Telecommunications Commission (COFETEL). During the last nine years, TELMEX management decided not to raise its rates for basic services.

 TELMEX has concessions in Mexico to operate radio spectrum wave frequency bands to provide fixed wireless telephone services and to operate radio spectrum wave frequency bands for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint microwave communications.

 The foreign subsidiary has licenses for use of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links in the USA.

 On January 13, 2010 América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (América Móvil) announced that it will launch an exchange offer to the stockholders of Carso Global Telecom, S.A.B. de C.V. (Carso Global Telecom) (TELMEX’s controlling stockholder), pursuant to which the shares of Carso Global Telecom would be exchanged for shares issued by América Móvil. If Carso Global Telecom’s stockholders tender all their shares, América Móvil would acquire indirectly 59.4% of the outstanding shares of TELMEX and 60.7% of the outstanding shares of Telmex Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V. (Telmex Internacional). América Móvil also announced its intention to launch an offering for the exchange or purchase of all of the Telmex Internacional’s shares that are not already owned by Carso Global Telecom (39.3%).

 On March 9, 2010, TELMEX’s Audit Committee and management authorized the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements also must be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders at their next meetings.

 II.  Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

 The principal accounting policies and practices followed by the Company in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, in conformity with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards, are described below:

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

 i)  Consolidation and equity method

 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. and those of the subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. All the companies operate in the telecommunications sector or provide services to companies operating in this sector.

 All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Noncontrolling interest refers to certain subsidiaries in which the Company does not hold 100% of the shares.

 Equity investments in affiliated companies over which the Company exercises significant influence is accounted for using the equity method, which basically consists of recognizing TELMEX’s proportional share in the net income or loss and the stockholders’ equity of the investee (see Note 5).

 1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 The results of operations of the subsidiaries and affiliates were included in TELMEX’s financial statements as of the month following their acquisition.

 ii)  Translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary and affiliate

 Beginning January 1, 2008, the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary and affiliate are either consolidated or accounted for based on the equity method, as the case may be, once the financial statements have been adjusted to conform to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards in the corresponding local currency, and are then translated to the reporting currency. All the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiary and affiliate are translated to Mexican pesos at the prevailing exchange rate at year-end. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time capital contributions were made and earnings were generated. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the historical exchange rate. Translation differences are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the line item “Effect of translation of foreign entities” under “Accumulated other comprehensive income items.”

 Through December 31, 2007, the financial statements as reported by the foreign subsidiary were converted to conform to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards, in the local currency, and subsequently re-expressed to constant pesos based on the inflation rate of the country in which the subsidiary operates. Under this method, all assets and liabilities were translated to Mexican pesos 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. Income statement amounts were translated to Mexican pesos at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Exchange differences and the monetary position effect resulting from intercompany monetary items were charged or credited to the consolidated statements of income. Translation differences resulting from the conversion process were recorded in stockholders’ equity in the line item “Effect of translation of foreign entities” under “Accumulated other comprehensive income items.”

 b)  Recognition of the effects of inflation on financial information

 Upon adoption of Mexican FRS B-10, Effects of Inflation, which became effective on January 1, 2008, the Company ceased to recognize the effects of inflation in its financial information because it currently operates in a “non-inflationary economic environment”.

 The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are expressed in nominal pesos, except for those non-monetary items that included inflation effects through December 31, 2007. Subsequent additions are recognized at historical cost.

 1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 Capital stock and retained earnings were re-expressed for inflation through December 31, 2007 based on the Mexican National Consumer Price Index (NCPI).

 Through December 31, 2007, the deficit from re-expression of stockholders’ equity consisted of the accumulated monetary position loss at the time the provisions of Bulletin B-10 were first applied, which was P.13,924,729, and of the result from holding non-monetary assets, which represents the difference between re-expression by the specific indexation method and re-expression based on the NCPI. At December 31, 2007, this item was included in stockholders’ equity under the “Accumulated other comprehensive income items” caption. In conformity with Mexican FRS B-10, since it was not possible to identify the result from holding non-monetary assets with the items giving rise to them, the cumulative result from holding non-monetary assets, together with the initial effect from the adoption of Bulletin B-10, which amounted to P. (79,419,845), net of deferred taxes, were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income items to retained earnings in stockholders’ equity.

 c)  Recognition of revenues

 Revenues are recognized at the time services are provided. Local service revenues are related to 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 for prepayment plans, based on the number of minutes.

 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 the sale of equipment are recorded when the product is delivered to the customer.

 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, which are billed monthly based on the authorized rates. International long distance and interconnection service revenues also include the revenues earned under agreements with foreign carriers for the use of the Company’s facilities in interconnecting international calls. These services are regulated by agreements with these operators, in which the rates to be paid are defined.

 Data revenues include revenues from services related to data transmission through private and managed networks and revenues from Internet access.

 1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

d)  Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards requires the use of estimates and assumptions in certain areas. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 e)  Cash and cash equivalents

 Cash and cash equivalents are represented by time deposits and highly liquid investments in financial institutions with maturities of less than 90 days at the date purchased. Such investments are stated at acquisition cost plus accrued interest, similar to market value.

 f)  Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

 The Company is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency risks, which are mitigated through a controlled risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company uses primarily cross-currency swaps and when necessary uses foreign currency forwards to offset the short-term risk of exchange rate fluctuations. In order to reduce the risks due to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company utilizes interest-rate swaps, through which it either pays or receives the difference between the net amount of either paying or receiving a fixed interest rate and the cash flow from receiving or paying a floating interest rate, based on a notional amount denominated in Mexican pesos or U.S. dollars. Most of these derivative financial instruments qualify and have been designated as cash flow hedges.

 The Company's policy includes: i) formal documentation of all hedging relationships between the hedging instrument and the hedged position; ii) the objectives for risk management; and iii) the strategy for conducting hedging transactions. This process takes into account the relationship between the cash flow of the derivatives with the cash flows of the corresponding assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet.

 The effectiveness of the Company’s derivatives used for hedging purposes is evaluated prior to their designation as hedges, as well as during the hedging period, which is performed at least quarterly based on recognized statistical techniques. Whenever it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that the derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company ceases to apply hedge accounting for the derivative on a prospective basis. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no gains or losses recognized due to changes in the accounting treatment for hedges.

 1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 Derivative financial instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values, which are obtained from the financial institutions with which the Company has entered into the related agreements. The Company’s policy is to verify such fair values against valuations provided by an independent valuation agent contracted by the Company. The effective portion of the cash flow hedge’s gain or loss is recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income items” in stockholders’ equity, while the ineffective portion is recognized in current year earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify as hedges are immediately recognized in earnings.

 The change in fair value recognized in earnings related to derivatives that are accounted for as hedges is presented in the same income statement caption as the gain or loss of the hedged item.

 g)  Allowance for doubtful accounts

 The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company’s experience, the aging of the balances and general economic trends, as well as an evaluation of accounts receivable in litigation. The allowance for doubtful accounts basically covers the balances of accounts receivable greater than 90 days old.

 The risk of uncollectibility of accounts receivable from related parties is evaluated annually based on an examination of each related party’s financial situation and the markets in which they operate.

 h)  Inventories

 Inventories for sale are valued at average cost, and through December 31, 2007 they were re-expressed based on inflation. The carrying value of inventories is not in excess of their net realizable value.

 Inventories for the operation of the telephone plant are valued at average cost, and through December 31, 2007 were re-expressed on the basis of specific indexes. The carrying value of inventories is similar to replacement value, which is not in excess of their market value.

 i)  Plant, property and equipment

 Through December 31, 1996, plant, property and equipment and construction in process were re-expressed based on the acquisition date and cost, applying the factors derived from the specific indexes determined by the Company and validated by an independent appraiser.

 Through December 31, 2007, plant, property and equipment and construction in progress acquired abroad were re-expressed based on the rate of inflation of the respective country of origin and the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date (specific indexation factors). Plant, property and equipment of domestic origin were re-expressed based on the NCPI.

 Telephone plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets (see Note 3 b).

 1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 The carrying value of plant, property, plant and equipment is reviewed whenever there are indicators of impairment in the carrying value of such assets. Whenever an asset’s recovery value, which is the greater of the asset’s selling price and its value in use (the present value of future cash flows) is less than the asset’s net carrying amount, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no indicators of impairment in the value of the Company’s plant, property and equipment.

 The Company has not capitalized any financing costs since it has no significant qualifying assets with prolonged acquisition periods.

 j)  Leases

 When the risks and benefits inherent to the ownership of the leased asset remain mostly with the lessor, they are classified as operating leases and rent expense is charged to results of operations when incurred.

 Lease agreements are recognized as capital leases if (i) the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee upon termination of the lease; (ii) the agreement includes an option to purchase the asset at a reduced price; (iii) the term of the lease is substantially the same as the remaining useful life of the leased asset; or (iv) the present value of minimum lease payments is substantially the same as the market value of the leased asset, net of any future benefit or residual value.

 k)  Licenses

 TELMEX records licenses at acquisition cost and, through December 31, 2007, re-expressed them based on the inflation rate of each country. The amortization period is based on the terms of the licenses, which range from 5 to 20 years.

 l)  Business acquisitions

 Acquisitions of businesses are recorded using the purchase method. The acquisition of noncontrolling interest is considered a transaction between entities under common control and any difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of net assets acquired is recognized as an equity transaction.

 1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 m)  Accrued liabilities

 Accrued liabilities are recognized whenever (i) the Company has current obligations (legal or assumed) resulting from a past event, (ii) when it is probable the obligation will give rise to a future cash disbursement for its settlement and (iii) the amount of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.

 When the effect of the time value of money is significant, the amount of the liability is determined as the present value of the expected future disbursements to settle the obligation. The discount rate applied is determined on a pre-tax basis and reflects current market conditions at the balance sheet date and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, an increase in the liability is recognized as a finance expense.

 Contingent liabilities are recognized only when it is probable they will give rise to a future cash disbursement for their settlement. Also, commitments are only recognized when they will generate a loss.

 n)  Labor obligations

 The cost of pension, seniority premium and termination benefits (severance) 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 9).

 Actuarial (losses) gains are being amortized over a period of 12 years, which is the estimated average remaining working lifetime of Company employees.

 As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Mexican FRS D-3 Employee Benefits, which replaced Mexican accounting Bulletin D-3, Labor Obligations. As a result of the MFRS D-3 adoption, the transition liability for labor obligations and prior service costs at December 31, 2007 are being amortized over a maximum period of 5 years. Prior to December 31, 2007, such amounts were being amortized over the estimated average remaining working lifetime of Company employees (12 years) (see Note 9).

 o)  Employee profit sharing

 

Current-year and deferred employee profit sharing expense is presented as an ordinary expense in the income statement.

 Beginning January 1, 2008, in connection with the adoption of Mexican FRS D-3, the Company recognizes deferred employee profit sharing using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred profit sharing is computed by applying the 10% rate to all temporary differences between the values of all assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. The Company periodically evaluates the possibility of recovering deferred employee profit sharing assets and, if necessary, creates a valuation allowance for those assets that do not have a high probability of being realized (see Note 9).

 

 1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 p)  Exchange differences

 Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the prevailing exchange rate on the day of the related transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are valued at the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences from the transaction date to the time foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are settled, as well as those arising from the translation of foreign currency denominated balances at the balance sheet date are charged or credited to results of operations.

 See Note 10 for the Company’s consolidated foreign currency position at the end of each year and the exchange rates used to translate foreign currency denominated balances.

 q)  Comprehensive income

 

Comprehensive income consists of current year net income, the effect of translation of the financial statements of foreign entities, the changes in noncontrolling interest, the changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges and the effect of deferred taxes related to these items.

 r)  Taxes on profits

 

Deferred taxes on profits are recognized using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred taxes on profits are recognized on all differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying the enacted income tax rate effective as of the balance sheet date, or the enacted rate at the balance sheet date that will be in effect when the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

 The Company periodically evaluates the possibility of recovering deferred tax assets and, if necessary, creates a valuation allowance for those assets that do not have a high probability of being realized.

 

1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 s)  Statement of income presentation

 

Costs and expenses shown in the Company’s income statement are presented on a combined basis between their nature and function, in accordance with industry practice since such classification allows for an appropriate evaluation of gross profit and operating margin.

 The “Operating income” caption is shown in the income statement since it is an important indicator used for evaluating the Company's operating results.

 An analysis of the “Other expenses, net” caption for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

 

 

2009

2008

Employee profit sharing, current

P.         2,217,482

P.           2,548,762

    (         1,869,170)

Other expenses, net

P.         1,349,680

P.              679,592

 

t) Statement of cash flows

 

Effective January 1, 2008, Mexican FRS B-2 replaced Mexican accounting Bulletin B-12, Statement of Changes in Financial Position. Accordingly, the statement of cash flows substituted the statement of changes in financial position. The main differences between both statements lie in the fact that the statement of cash flows shows the entity’s cash inflows and outflows during the period, while the statement of changes in financial position shows the changes in the entity’s financial structure. Also, the statement of cash flows presents first income before taxes on profits, followed by cash flows from operating activities, then cash flows from investing activities and finally cash flows from financing activities.

 

The statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were prepared using the indirect method.

 

u)  Earnings per share

 

Earnings per share are determined by dividing the controlling interest in net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. In determining the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year, shares repurchased by the Company have been excluded.

 

v)  Concentration of risk

 

The main risks associated with the Company’s financial instruments are cash flow risk, liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk. The Company performs sensitivity analyses to measure potential losses in its operating results based on a theoretical increase of 100 basis points in interest rates and a 10% change in exchange rates. The Board of Directors approves the risk management policies that are proposed by the Company’s management.

 

 

1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Credit risk represents the potential loss from the failure of counterparties to completely comply with their contractual obligations. The Company is also exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates. In order to reduce the risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates, the Company uses derivative financial instruments as hedges against its debt obligations.  

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and debt and derivative financial instruments. The Company’s policy is designed to not restrict its exposure to any one financial institution; therefore, the Company’s financial instruments are maintained in different financial institutions located in different geographical areas.

 

The credit risk in accounts receivable is diversified, because the Company has a broad customer base that is geographically dispersed. The Company continuously evaluates the credit conditions of its customers and does not require collateral to guarantee collection of its accounts receivable. In the event the collection of accounts receivable deteriorates significantly, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

w)  Segments

 

Segment information is presented based on information used by the Company in its decision-making processes (see Note 15).

 

Local and long distance segment information varies to the one presented in the consolidated financial statements due to:

 

·         The information that was considered in its elaboration was only the one corresponding to the companies that are directly involved in rendering local and long distance telephone services in Mexico.

 

·         Local service includes: revenues from basic rent, measured service, installation charges, equipment sales and interconnection.

 

·         Long distance service includes: revenues from basic services of domestic and international long distance services; it does not include revenues from rural and public telephony and data services.

 

·         The services being disclosed consider the corresponding attributes for interconnection, billing, collecting, co-location and leased lines.

 

·         Interconnection with cellular operators includes revenues from calling party pays.

y)  New accounting pronouncements

 

i) Following is a discussion of the new accounting pronouncements issued by the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards Research and Development Board (Consejo Mexicano para la Investigación y Desarrollo de Normas de Información Financiera, A.C. or “CINIF”) that became effective on January 1, 2009 and that affected TELMEX’s accounting policies:

 

Mexican FRS B-8, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

 

In November 2008, the CINIF issued Mexican FRS B-8, which became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Mexican FRS B-8 replaces Mexican accounting Bulletin B-8, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the Valuation of Long-Term Equity Investments. Mexican FRS B-8 establishes the overall guidelines for preparing and presenting consolidated or combined financial statements and transfers the guidance related to accounting for long-term equity investments to Mexican FRS C-7.

 

This standard establishes that to determine the existence of control, the Company must consider any potential voting rights held that could be exercised or converted, regardless of management’s intention and ability to exercise them.

 

Also, unlike Bulletin B-8, this standard requires the financial statements of the consolidating entities to be prepared under the same Mexican FRS, eliminating the possibility to consolidate those entities that do not issue financial statements under Mexican FRS due to an obligation to present their financial statements under specific accounting standards.

 

This standard includes guidelines for the accounting treatment of special purpose entities and, upon adoption, abolishes the supplementary application of International Financial Reporting Standards SIC 12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). Mexican FRS B-8 establishes that special purpose entities over which the Company exercises control must be consolidated.

 

Mexican FRS B-8 establishes that changes in equity interest that do not cause loss of control must be recognized as transactions between stockholders; therefore, any difference between the book value of the equity investment sold or acquired and the value of the consideration paid must be recognized in stockholders’ equity.

 

This standard also establishes that the recognition of push-down adjustments must not be recognized in the financial statements of the subsidiary and provides no transitional guidance in this regard.

 

 

1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Mexican FRS C-7, Equity Investments in Affiliates and Other Long-term Equity Investments

 

In November 2008, the CINIF issued Mexican FRS C-7, which became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The purpose of this standard is to establish guidelines for the accounting recognition of investments in affiliated companies, as well as for the recognition of any other long-term equity investments through which the reporting entity does not have control, joint control or exercise significant influence.

 

Unlike Mexican accounting Bulletin B-8, this standard establishes that there is significant influence when 10% or more of the voting shares in an entity that is listed on a stock exchange, or when it holds 25% or more of the voting shares in an entity not listed on a stock exchange. Mexican FRS C-7 also provides the guidelines for determining the existence of significant influence in the case of SPEs.

 

In identifying the existence of significant influence, both Mexican FRS B-8 and this standard require consideration of any potential voting rights held by the entity that might be exercised or converted, regardless of management’s actual intention and financial capacity to exercise such rights.

 

Investments in an affiliated company or an equity interest in an SPE over which the reporting entity exercises significant influence must be initially recognized at fair value, determined at the time of acquisition, and subsequently by applying the equity method of accounting. To apply the equity method, unlike Mexican accounting Bulletin B-8, the financial statements of the affiliated company must be prepared in conformity with Mexican FRS.

 

This standard also establishes guidelines for the recognition of losses incurred by affiliated companies, since Mexican accounting Bulletin B-8 did not address this issue.

 

This standard establishes that the investment in affiliated companies must be tested for impairment when indicators of impairment exist, and modifies Mexican accounting Bulletin C-15, Impairment in the Value of Long-lived Assets, by establishing that the impairment of investments in affiliated companies must be presented as part of the caption Equity interest in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates.

 

 

1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Mexican FRS C-8, Intangible Assets

 

Mexican FRS C-8 was issued by the CINIF in December 2008 to replace Mexican accounting Bulletin C-8, Intangible Assets and became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009.

 

Unlike Mexican accounting Bulletin C-8, this standard establishes that separability is not the only condition necessary to determine that an intangible asset is identifiable. Mexican FRS C-8 also provides additional guidance on the accounting recognition of intangible assets acquired through exchange transactions and eliminates the presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset could not exceed twenty years. Furthermore, the standard adds the requirement of an accelerated amortization period as a condition for impairment and modifies the definition of pre-operating costs.

 

Lastly, Mexican FRS C-8 establishes the accounting treatment for disposals of intangible assets resulting from sale, abandonment or exchange.

 

The adoption of the new accounting standards mentioned above did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements and did not result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings at adoption.

 

ii) The most important new accounting pronouncements that will become effective on January 1, 2010 or 2011, and that could affect the Company’s accounting policies, are as follows:

 

Mexican FRS C-1, Cash and Cash Equivalents

Mexican FRS C-1 was issued by the CINIF in November 2009 to replace Mexican accounting Bulletin C-1, Cash, and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2010. The purpose of this standard is to establish guidelines for the valuation, presentation and disclosure of items comprising the cash and cash equivalents caption in the statement of financial position.

Mexican FRS C-1 establishes that restricted cash is to be presented in the cash and cash equivalents caption in the statement of financial position (under the former standard it was shown separately) and substitutes the term “short-term demand investments” with the new term “liquid demand investments”, which, among other characteristics, must be readily convertible to cash and have maturities of no more than three months.

Mexican FRS C-1 also defines the following terms: acquisition costs, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, liquid demand investments, net realization value, nominal value and fair value.

 

1.  Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (concluded)

 

Mexican FRS B-5, Financial Information by Segment

In November 2009, the CINIF issued Mexican FRS B-5, which will become effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Mexican FRS B-5 will replace Mexican accounting Bulletin B-5.

Mexican FRS B-5 establishes the criteria for identifying the segments to be reported by an entity, as well as the standards for disclosing the financial information of such segments. The standard also contains the requirements applicable to the disclosure of certain information related to the entity as a whole.

The principal changes compared to Mexican accounting Bulletin B-5 are as follows:

-            Information to be disclosed; Mexican FRS B-5 is management-focused, since the segment information disclosures it requires refer to the information used by the entity’s most-senior business decision makers. Mexican FRS B-5 also requires the disclosure of information related to entity’s products, geographic zones, customers and suppliers.

-            Business risks; in identifying operating segments, this standard does not require the different areas of the business to be subject to different risks.

-            Segments in the pre-operating stage; under Mexican FRS B-5, the different areas of a business in its pre-operating stage can be classified as operating segments.

-            Disclosure of financial results; this standard requires disclosure of interest income and expense, as well as the other comprehensive financing items.

-            Disclosure of liabilities; Mexican FRS B-5 requires disclosure of the liabilities included in the regular information for the operating segment that is habitually used by the entity’s most-senior business decision makers.

The Company expects that these standards will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

The first tranche is for P.14,963,659 (U.S.$1,300 million) and has a three-year maturity. The second tranche is for P.11,510,507 (U.S.$1,000 million) and has a five-year maturity. The third tranche is for P.8,057,355 (U.S.$700 million) with a seven-year maturity. In August 2009, TELMEX repaid the total amount of the first tranche, for which the original maturity was scheduled for October 2009. The balance of these loans at December 31, 2009 is included under bank loans (debt denominated in foreign currency).

6.  Long-term Debt (continued)

 

Domestic senior notes (“Certificados Bursátiles”):

 

On December 19, 2007, TELMEX obtained authorization from the National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores or “CNBV”) for a program to issue long-term domestic senior notes in a total amount of P.10,000,000 (nominal amount). In April 2008, domestic senior notes in the amount of P.1,600,000 were issued. In July 2009, TELMEX placed domestic senior notes in two issuances for a total amount of P.8,000,000.

At December 31, 2009, the Company has cross currency swaps that hedge foreign currency denominated liabilities of P.54,557,723 (U.S.$4,178 million) (P.73,799,967 or U.S.$5,451 million in 2008). These cross currency swaps hedge the exchange rate and interest rate risks associated with bonds that mature in 2010 and 2015 in the total amount of U.S.$1,495 million and bank loans that mature from 2010 to 2018 in the total amount of U.S.$2,683 million. These agreements allow TELMEX to fix the parity of such debt at a weighted-average exchange rate of P.10.5892 per U.S. dollar, as well as establish a fixed interest rate of 7.52% for the bonds maturing in 2010 and 8.57% for the bonds maturing in 2015, and a floating rate equal to the average 28-day TIIE, less a specified margin for the bank loans.

 

The change in the fair value of these cross currency swaps recognized for the year ended December 31, 2009 was
P. 5,682,263 (P. 16,281,874 in 2008).

 

 

6.  Long-term Debt (concluded)

 

Forwards dollar-peso

 

At December 31, 2009, the Company had short-term foreign currency forwards with a notional amount of P.3,199,382 (U.S.$245 million). At December 31, 2008, the Company had no forward contracts outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized a net charge of P.520,733 (charge of P.1,690,380 in 2008) as part of exchange (gain) loss, net due to changes in the fair value of these forwards.

 

Interest-rate swaps

 

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had interest-rate swaps for an aggregate notional amount of P.23,752,125 to hedge the floating rate risk of its debt in Mexican pesos, fixing such rate at an average of 8.19%. At December 31, 2009, the Company had no interest rate swaps in U.S. dollars. At December 31, 2008, the Company had interest rate swaps in U.S. dollars for an aggregate notional amount of P.1,353,830 (U.S.$100 million), paying a fixed rate of 4.47% and receiving the three-month LIBOR rate, to cover U.S. dollar denominated debt with a floating interest rate that matured in October 2009.

 

At December 31, 2009, the Company had cross currency coupon swaps that cover interest payments of P.652,935 (U.S.$50 million) (P.4,738,405, or U.S.$350 million, for 2008).

 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized a net expense for these swaps in interest expense of P.2,056,839 (P. 2,439,778 in 2008).

 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are acquired in over-the-counter markets, mostly from the same financial institutions with which it has contracted its debt.

 

Several of the Company’s agreements under which it has negotiated its derivative financial instruments require margin calls when the fair value of the derivatives exceeds the Company’s existing credit lines of P. 3,787,023 (U.S.$290 million). At December 31, 2009, 65% of the Company’s outstanding derivatives correspond to these types of agreements; however, no margin calls have been required at such date.

9.  Labor Obligations

 

a)  Pensions plans and seniority premiums

 

The majority of the Company’s employees are covered under defined benefits pension plans and seniority premiums. Pension benefits and seniority premiums are determined on the basis of compensation of employees in their final year of employment, their seniority, and their age at the time of retirement.

 

TELMEX has set up an irrevocable trust fund to finance these labor obligations and has adopted the policy of making annual contributions to such fund, which are deductible for Mexican corporate income tax and employee profit sharing purposes. The most important information related to labor obligations is as follows:

9.  Labor Obligations (continued)

 

In 2009, the net actuarial loss of P.5,829,259 resulted from (i) the effect of a favorable actuarial variance of P.4,371,737 due to the behavior of the plan assets resulting from an increase in the value of investments in shares of companies and in fixed-yield investments due to variances in reference rates, and (ii) an actuarial loss of P.10,200,996, attributable principally to the number of employees who retired was greater than the number estimated at the beginning of the year, and the salary and pension benefits of the retired employees were higher than estimated at the beginning of the year.

 

In 2008, the actuarial loss of P.29,612,616 resulted from (i) the effect of an unfavorable actuarial variance of P.22,949,640 due to the behavior of the plan assets resulting from a decrease in the value of investments in shares of companies and in fixed-yield investments due to variances in reference rates, and (ii) an actuarial loss of P.6,662,976, attributable principally to the number of employees who retired was greater than the number estimated at the beginning of the year, the Company updating its mortality table, and the mortality rate of retired employees was less than the rate estimated at the beginning of the year.

 

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the rates used in the actuarial study are as follows:

c)  Employee profit sharing

 

TELMEX is obligated to pay profit sharing to its employees in Mexico, in addition to their contractual compensation and benefits. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, employee profit sharing was based on 10% of the Company’s taxable income, excluding certain inflation effects and the re-expression of depreciation expense.

 

The cumulative effect of deferred employee profit sharing at the beginning of 2008 resulting from the adoption of Mexican FRS D-3 was P.5,820,412 and was charged to stockholders’ equity. The deferred employee profit sharing gave rise to a credit to stockholders’ equity for deferred income tax of P.1,630,277. Accordingly, the net effect of the adoption of Mexican FRS D-3 was a charge to stockholders’ equity of P.4,190,135. The 2007 financial statements remained unchanged by the new standard. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the deferred employee profit sharing provision represented a credit to results of operations of P.607,676 (P.1,400,171 in 2008), which was recognized in the statement of income under the caption “Other expenses, net.”

 

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized deferred employee profit sharing on the following temporary items:

11.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commitments

 

At December 31, 2009, TELMEX has non-cancelable commitments for the purchase of equipment of P.3,372,975 (P.4,520,320 in 2008), which include P.977,637 (P.798,792 in 2008) for non-cancelable commitments with related parties. Payments made under the related purchase agreements aggregated to P.2,858,996 in 2009 (P.3,173,710 in 2008).

 

Contingencies

 

a)   In November 2005, COFETEL issued the guidelines for making changes to local service areas. In April 2006, Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. contested the guidelines to modify local service areas via an administrative proceeding that was discarded by the Communications Ministry, and at present it is being litigated before the Third Metropolitan Regional Federal Court of Justice for Tax and Administrative Matters.

 

 

11.  Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

In the interim, pursuant to the aforementioned guidelines COFETEL has ordered the consolidation of a package of 70 local service areas and a package of 2 local service areas in March 2007, another package of 125 local service areas in September 2008 and finally the consolidation of 1 local service area in December 2008, each with its own schedule. Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. challenged COFETEL’s orders through applicable legal procedures.

 

In November 2009, a resolution of a Federal Court nullified the consolidation of local service areas ordered by COFETEL.

 

If the guidelines resolution becomes effective, COFETEL may start again procedures to consolidate local service areas.

 

If such consolidation is implemented, it may have an adverse impact on the Company’s long distance revenues.

 

The Company believes, based on the advice of external lawyers who are handling this matter, that although the Company’s arguments are well-founded, there is no certainty that Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. will obtain favorable results.

 

b)   Between November 2007 and February 2008, the Federal Commission of Economic Competition (COFECO) initiated seven inquiries to determine whether Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V.  has substantial control or engages in monopolistic practices in certain markets.

 

Preliminary resolutions in four of these inquiries have been issued, in which COFECO has determined that Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. has substantial control in the following markets: (i) termination of public switched traffic; (ii) origination of public switched traffic; (iii) local transit services; and (iv) leasing of lines or circuits. Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. expressed its disagreement with the proceedings, contested the preliminary resolutions and submitted evidence against them.

 

In the four inquiries indicated above, COFECO has already confirmed its resolutions, and Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. filed the corresponding recourses, which COFECO denied. Against these resolutions, Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. filed for constitutional protection (“amparo”) which is still pending. If these resolutions prevail, COFETEL could impose specific obligations on tariffs, quality of service and information in these markets.

 

In the three remaining proceedings, COFECO is investigating to determine if Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. engaged in monopolistic practices in the following markets: (i) broad-band Internet market for domestic residential customers; (ii) fixed-network interconnection services markets; and (iii) inter-urban transport for switched long distance traffic services market. These proceedings are currently in the stage of requesting information.

 

Notwithstanding the fact that the arguments of Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. are considered to be well founded, the Company’s external lawyers handling the above-mentioned cases consider that there is no certainty that the Company will obtain favorable results.

 

 

11.  Commitments and Contingencies (concluded)

 

c)  The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) audited Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. for the period from 1997 to 2001. As a result of the audit, IMSS determined that Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. owed approximately P.330,000 (historical amount) as of July 2, 2003 in past due obligations, fines, surcharges, re-expression for inflation and interest. Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. filed an appeal to nullify these findings and related assessment with the Federal Court of Justice for Tax and Administrative Matters. In accordance with Mexican law, by means of a trust fund established with a banking institution, the Company guaranteed payment of the tax assessment in the amount of P.568,869 through July 19, 2010. The regional metropolitan court declared the resolution to be null, but the administrative authorities filed an appeal. In October 2009, Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. obtained favorable results through a final resolution that nullifies the schedule of rate payments; therefore the Company commenced proceedings to liquidate the trust fund that was guaranteeing the payment of this contingency, which was finalized on January 22, 2010, at which time the Company recognized the gain on settlement of this contingency.

 

On January 22, 2010, Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. was entitled to a refund equivalent to the amount set up as guaranteed payment.

 

Since tax credits did not take effect and Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. obtained reimbursement for the guaranteed payment, this matter was resolved and concluded with favorable results.

 

d)  In accordance with Mexican law, Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. shall be severally liable for all of the obligations transferred to Telmex Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V. as a result of the split-up, for a three-year period, with respect to the terms of the split-up agreement approved by the stockholders of Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. on December 21, 2007. This responsibility, however, does not apply to obligations with those creditors who have given their express consent relieving Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. from these liabilities and consenting to the split-up.

 

e)  On February 10, 2009, COFETEL published the Fundamental Technical Interconnection and Interoperability Plan in the Official Gazette. Such plan could have a negative impact on Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. and on the telecommunications sector in general, since it establishes additional obligations to concessionaries.

 

Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. has filed for constitutional protection (“amparo”) against this plan, providing all necessary arguments to demonstrate illegality and unconstitutionality of such plan.

 

Notwithstanding the fact that the arguments of Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. are considered to be well founded, the Company’s external lawyers handling the above-mentioned cases consider that there is no certainty that the Company will obtain favorable results.

(1) Number of shares in millions

 

The Company’s capital stock must be represented by (i) no less than 20% of Series “AA” common shares, which may be subscribed and acquired only by Mexican investors, and at all times must represent at least 51% of the common shares of total capital stock; (ii) Series “A” common shares, which may be freely subscribed, that must not exceed more than 19.6% of capital stock and no more than 49% of the common shares of total capital stock; (iii) both Series “AA” and “A” shares combined may not represent more than 51% of capital stock; and (iv) Series “L” shares, which have limited voting rights and may be freely subscribed, in a percentage when combined with the Series “A” shares may not exceed 80% of capital stock.

 

Voting rights

 

Each ordinary share of the Series “AA” and “A” entitles the holder to one vote at the general stockholders’ meetings.  Each Series “L” share entitles the holder to one vote at all stockholders’ meetings in which holders of Series “L” shares are authorized to vote. In accordance with the Eighth Clause of the Company’s bylaws, holders of Series “L” shares only have the right to vote to designate two directors on the Board of Directors and their corresponding alternate directors, and on the following matters:

 

·      The transformation of TELMEX from one type of entity to another;

 

·      Any merger in which TELMEX is not the surviving entity or any merger with an entity whose principal corporate purposes are different from those of TELMEX (when TELMEX is the surviving entity); and

 

·      Cancellation of the registration of the TELMEX’s shares in the securities or special sections of the Mexican National Securities Registry and in any foreign stock exchanges in which they are registered.

 

 

13.  Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

 

In order for the resolutions adopted in extraordinary stockholders’ meetings related to any of the matters on which the Series “L” shares are entitled to vote to be validated, the approval by a majority vote of the Series “AA” and Series “A” stockholders will be required.

 

Under Mexican law, the stockholders of any Series of shares are also entitled to vote as one class on any proposal that could adversely affect the rights of the stockholders of that particular series and the Company’s stockholders (including the Series “L” stockholders), which individually or collectively represent 20% or more of all capital stock could judicially oppose any stockholders’ resolution with respect to those resolutions for which such stockholders have the right to vote. The determination of whether a matter requires the vote by the holders of Series “L” under such basis would initially be made by the board of directors or by any other party that calls a stockholders’ meeting to decide on the resolution. A negative decision would be subject to judicial challenge by any affected stockholder, and a court would ultimately determine the necessity for a class vote. There are no other procedures for determining whether a proposal requires a class vote, and Mexican law does not provide extensive guidance on the criteria to be applied in making such a determination.

 

b)  In 1994, the Company initiated a program to purchase its own shares. The cost of the repurchased shares, in the amount that exceeds the portion of capital stock corresponding to the repurchased shares, is charged to retained earnings.

 

At a regular stockholders’ meeting held on March 3, 2009, the stockholders approved an increase of P.10,000,000 in the total authorized nominal amount for the repurchase of the Company’s own shares. The remaining amount was
P. 340,868, bringing the total maximum amount to be used for this purpose to P.10,340,868.

 

In 2009, the Company acquired 361.2 million Series “L” shares for P.4,073,625 and 1.9 million Series “A” shares for P.21,695.

 

In 2008, the Company acquired 796.7 million Series “L” shares for P.12,764,130 and 8.6 million Series “A” shares for P.107,712.

 

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 14,040 (13,998 Series “L” and 42 Series “A”) and 13,677 (13,637 Series “L” and 40 Series “A”) million treasury shares, respectively.

 

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.

 

 

13.  Stockholders’ Equity (concluded)

 

d)  At December 31, 2009, Accumulated other comprehensive income items include P.748,675 for the effect of the market valuation of swaps designated as cash flow hedges and P.134,550 for the effect of translation of foreign entities, net of deferred taxes. At December 31, 2008, Accumulated other comprehensive income items include P.2,615,521 for the effect of the market valuation of swaps designated as cash flow hedges, net of deferred taxes, and P.201,104 for the effect of translation of foreign entities.

 

e)  At a regular meeting held on April 28, 2009, the stockholders agreed to declare a cash dividend of P.0.46 per outstanding share, to be paid in four installments of P.0.1150 each in June, September and December 2009 and in March 2010. In March 2009, the Company paid the fourth installment of P.0.10 per outstanding share, which was authorized at the regular meeting held on April 25, 2008. At a regular meeting held on December 1, 2009, the stockholders agreed to declare an extraordinary cash dividend of P.0.40 per outstanding share, to be paid in a single payment beginning on December 17, 2009.

 

At a regular meeting held on April 25, 2008, the stockholders agreed to declare a cash dividend of P.0.40 per outstanding share, to be paid in four installments of P.0.10 each in June, September and December 2008 and in March 2009. In March 2008, the Company paid the fourth installment of P.0.1125 per outstanding share, which was authorized at the regular meeting held on April 27, 2007.

 

The cash dividends paid in 2009 and 2008 were P.15,093,082 and P.7,609,477, respectively.

 

 

14.  Income Tax and Flat-Rate Business Tax

 

a)  Through December 31, 2009 the corporate income tax rate was 28%. Under the Mexican Tax Reform Law approved on December 7, 2009, the corporate income tax rate will be increased from 28% to 30% for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012, and will be scaled back to 29% in 2013, and to 28% in 2014 and future years.

 

b)   On October 1, 2007, the Flat-Rate Business Tax (FRBT) Law was published and became effective as of January 1, 2008.

 

Beginning January 1, 2008, the FRBT is computed by applying the applicable rate to income determined on the basis of cash flows, which is determined by deducting authorized deductions from all income collected from those activities that are subject to the tax. As established under the Law, certain FRBT credits also may be deducted from the FRBT payable. Under the Law’s transitory provisions, the FRBT rate is 16.5% in 2008, 17% in 2009 and 17.5% in 2010 and succeeding years.

 

When the FRBT base is negative because deductions exceed taxable income, there is no FRBT payable. The amount of the negative base multiplied by the FRBT rate results in a FRBT credit, which may be applied against income tax for the same year or, if applicable, against FRBT payable in the next ten years.

 

 

14.  Income Tax and Flat-Rate Business Tax (continued)

 

FRBT creditable concepts result mainly from the negative FRBT base to be amortized, salary and social security contribution credits, and credits arising from the deduction of certain assets, such as inventories and fixed assets, during the transition period as of the date on which the FRBT became effective.

 

FRBT is payable only to the extent it exceeds income tax for the same period. To determine FRBT payable, income tax paid in a given period is first subtracted from the FRBT of the same period.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no FRBT payable and, based on its tax projections, estimates that it will not be subject to the payment of FRBT in subsequent years.

 

c)  An analysis of the income tax provision is as follows:

Exchange differences


Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the prevailing exchange rate on the day of the related transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are valued at the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences from the transaction date to the time foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are settled, as well as those arising from the translation of foreign currency denominated balances at the balance sheet date are charged or credited to results of operations.

 

Translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary and affiliate


The financial statements of the foreign subsidiary and affiliate are either consolidated or accounted for based on the equity method, as the case may be, once the financial statements have been adjusted to conform to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards in the corresponding local currency, and are then translated to the reporting currency. All the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiary and affiliate are translated to Mexican pesos at the prevailing exchange rate at year-end. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time capital contributions were made and earnings were generated. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the historical exchange rate. Translation differences are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the line item “Effect of translation of foreign entities” under “Accumulated other comprehensive income items.”

Derivative Instruments

As of December 31, 2009, Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. (the “Company”) had cross currency swap agreements in the equivalent of U.S.$ 4,178 million, which have hedged the exchange rate and interest rate risks related to the bonds with maturity in 2010 and 2015 for a total amount of U.S.$ 1,495 million and bank loans with maturity from 2010 to 2018 for a total amount of U.S.$  2,683 millon. These hedges allowed us to fix the exchange rate of our debt on a weighted average exchange rate of $ 10.5892 Mexican pesos per US dollar, as well as to partially set a fixed rate with a range between 7.52% for bonds maturing in 2010 and 8.57% for bonds maturing in 2015 and for other cases, an average interest rate of 28-day TIIE less 26 basis points. During this quarter we did not have any early termination on cross currency swaps agreements.

 At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had forward agreements for U.S.$ 245 million at a weighted average exchange rate of $ 13.2812 Mexican pesos per dollar. These agreements hedged  partially a U.S,$ 950 million bond with maturity on January 2010.

 Additionally, the Company had interest rate swaps in Mexican pesos for Ps.$23,752 million to hedge the floating rate risk in local currency fixing it at an average of 8.19%.

 These transactions have been carried out based on the Company’s policies, strategies and guidelines that are explained below.

 I. Qualitative and quantitative Information

 i. Policies for using  derivative instruments

 Objective to enter into derivative transactions and selected instruments

 With the purpose of reducing the risks related to the variations of exchange rate and interest rate, the Company uses derivative instruments connecting the hedges to the contracted debt. The derivative instruments that have been selected are mainly:

  (a)    instruments for purchasing US dollars at a specified future time (forwards);

(b)    instruments that involve the exchange of principal and interest from one currency to another (cross currency swaps); and

(c)    instruments to fix the floating interest rates of the debt (interest rate swaps).

 Hedge strategies

 When the market conditions are favorable, the Company’s Management determines the amounts and objective parameters considered in the hedging agreements. This strategy seeks to reduce the risk exposure of abnormal fluctuations in the market of the main variables that affect our debt, including exchange rate and interest rate, to maintain a solid and healthy financial structure.

 These strategies of hedging financial risks are included in the Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Company, and its application is authorized by the Audit Committee.

 Trading markets and eligible counterparts

 The financial institutions and counterparts with which the Company enters into such derivative instruments are considered to have a proven reputation and solvency in the market, which allows us to balance our risk positions with such counterparts. Also, the Company only uses derivative instruments that are of common use in the markets, and therefore, can be quoted by two or more financial institutions to assure the best conditions in the negotiation.

 Policies for the appointment of calculation and valuation agents

 Given that the Company uses derivative instruments of common use in the market, it appoints a third party that is responsible to provide the market price of such instruments. These prices are compared by the Company with the ones provided by the financial intermediaries; and,  in certain transactions,the counterpart is able to act as valuation agent under the applicable documentation if it is a financial institution with a proven reputation.

 Main terms and conditions of the agreements

 It is a policy of the Company that the amount, date and interest rate conditions of the debt to be hedged, if possible, have to coincide with the terms of the hedges, that is usual for this type of transactions in the different markets where it operates. All the transactions with derivative instruments are made under the ISDA Master Agreement (International Swap Dealers Association) standardized and duly executed by the legal representatives of the Company and the financial institutions, and in the case of counterparts in México, pursuant to the uses and practices of the market in our country.

Margin policies, collaterals and lines of credit

In some cases, the Company has entered into an accessory agreement to the ISDA Master Agreement with the financial institutions, the Credit Support Annex, which sets forth an obligation to grant collaterals for margin calls in case the mark-to market value exceeds certain established credit limits (threshold amount). The Company has the policy to keep a close watch of the volume of the transactions entered with each financial institution in order to avoid, if possible, any margin call.

Processes of levels of authorization required by type of negotiation

The strategy for hedging financial risks is discussed and approved by the Audit Committee. Subsequently, the Board of Directors is informed for its knowledge and ratification. The Treasury is in charge of its implementation and is supervised by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

Existence of an independent third party that reviews such processes

Both, the fulfillment of the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the measurement of effectiveness of the derivative instruments, to comply with the  financial reporting standards, are discussed with the external auditors that validate the correct accounting application of the effect of such instruments in the income statement and the balance sheet.

ii. Generic description of the valuation techniques

 As previously stated, derivative instruments are carried out by the Company only for hedging purposes. The measurement of the effectiveness of the hedges is made in a prospective and retrospective manner. For the prospective valuation, we use statistic techniques that allow us to measure in what proportion the change in the value of the hedged debt (primary position) is compensated by the change in the value of the derivative instrument. The retrospective valuation is made by comparing the historic results of the debt flows with the flows of the respective hedges.

iii. Internal and external liquidity sources to meet the requirements related to derivative instruments

 It is estimated that the Company’s cash generation has been enough to service debt and the established derivative instruments to hedge the risks associated with such debt.

  iv. Changes in the exposure to the main identified risks and its management

 The identified risks are those related to the variations of the exchange rate and interest rate. Given the direct relationship between the hedged debt and the derivative instruments and that they do not have any variables that could affect or terminate the hedge in advance, the Company does not foresee any risk that such hedges could differ from the original purpose for which the hedges were established.

 In the  fourth quarter of 2009, it was recognized in the statements of income a net  charge of Ps. 2,276 million and an accrued net  charge at the end of  December of Ps. 2.135 million for exchange rate hedges. Furthermore, it was recognized in the statements of income a net charge of Ps. 421 million and an accrued net charge at the end of  December of Ps. 2,057 million for interest rate hedges.

 During the  fourth quarter, there have not been any margin calls.

  To date, there has not been any breach in the terms and conditions of the respective agreements.

  v. Quantitative information

  See TABLE 1 attached.

 II. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

In the case of the Company, the sensitivity analysis does not apply for the derivative instruments, since they are only carried out for hedging purposes.
