(NYSE: DES; BMV: DESC) announced today its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003 (3Q03). All figures were prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in Mexico. HIGHLIGHTS ---------- Desc's operating results for 3Q03 declined when compared to 3Q02; operating income dropped by 63.0% and EBITDA declined by 32.1% mainly due to the following factors: o Lower demand from OEMs due to temporary shutdowns and the elimination of sales to DaimlerChrysler due to the closing of its plant in Mexico City, which affected the pick-up boxes and stamping, axles and propeller shafts businesses. o Higher raw material costs in the Chemical Sector, which affected the polymers and specialities products divisions. o Strong results in the Real Estate Sector due to sales in the Bosques de Santa Fe and Punta Mita projects. Desc sold its adhesives and waterproofing businesses in September of 2003, the proceeds of which will be used to strengthen its financial structure. DESC, S.A. DE C.V.

THIRD QUARTER 2003 RESULTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SALES ----- Sales in dollars for 3Q03 declined 0.4% to US $488 million when compared to US $490 million reported in 2Q03, due to lower sales in the Automotive Sector. Year-over-year, sales from the Automotive Sector decreased by 12.9% due to the decline in vehicle demand from Mexico and the U.S. In the Chemical Sector, sales dropped 1.1% as a result of pressures from increased competition, as well as a decrease of construction, particularly for public works. In the Food Sector, the 16.6% increase in revenues was mainly due to improved results in the branded products division and the closing of the pork business in the Bajio operations during the 3Q02. In the Real Estate Sector, sales increased 49.4% YoY due to higher revenues in the Bosques de Santa Fe and Punta Mita Projects. GRAPH 1 - NET SALES 3Q03 Sector Net Sales 2Q03 (%) ------ ------------------ CHEMICAL 38% AUTOMOTIVE 37% FOOD 18% REAL ESTATE 7% EXPORTS ------- Total exports during 3Q03 reached US $217 million, a 2.2% decline compared to the figure reported during 3Q02. This decrease was a result of a negative effect to the Automotive Sector, which declined by 6.1%, due to the Mexican exportation platforms. During the third quarter of 2003, exports represented 44.5% of total sales. OPERATING INCOME AND OPERATING MARGIN ------------------------------------- Year-over-Year, consolidated operating income in dollars dropped 63.0% from US $36 million to US $13 million, due to lower results in the Automotive, Chemical and Food Sectors, which posted declines of 99.2%, 57.2% and 61.9%, respectively. These were mainly due to lower demand from the U.S. market, the closing of the DaimlerChrysler operations in 2002, and the increase in raw material prices experienced during the quarter in the Chemical Sector. On the other hand, the Real Estate Sector registered an increase in its operating income in dollars of 251.6% to US $9.0 million in 3Q03 from US $3.0 million in 3Q02. TAXES ----- During the quarter, tax provisions reached US $5 million, which included Income and Asset Taxes and Employee Profit Sharing, a 67.0% decline compared to 3Q02, reflecting a lower operating result. The net amount of deferred taxes was US $(3.5) million. NET MAJORITY INCOME (LOSS) -------------------------- Net majority loss for 3Q03 was US $36 million mainly due to a higher exchange rate loss caused by a near 9.0% depreciation of the peso versus the dollar during the quarter compared with the 3Q02, as well as a lower operating result. WWW.DESC.COM.MX THIRD QUARTER 2003 RESULTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEBT STRUCTURE -------------- Quarter-over-quarter, Desc posted a US $20 million net debt decrease, mainly due to the divestiture of the adhesives and waterproofing material businesses in the Chemical Sector. This was partially offset by debt derived from working capital requirements in the Autoparts and Chemical Sectors. Year-over-year, the Company's net debt increased by 5.1% to US $967 million.

At the end of the third quarter of 2003, Desc's debt composition was 70% dollar-denominated and 30% peso-denominated. Desc's debt profile at the end of the 3Q03 is 71% in long-term debt and 29% in short-term debt. The average cost of debt was 5.0% for the dollar-denominated, and 7.4% for the peso-denominated one, compared to 4.8% and 8.5%, respectively in 3Q02. DEBT REFINANCING ---------------- Desc is in the process of renegotiating approximately 70% of its total consolidated debt, the equivalent of approximately US $700 million, with its main creditors. This amount includes approximately US $410 million in syndicated loans and short-term credit lines, mainly for working capital needs. Given that during the first three quarters of 2003, Desc failed to meet the leverage ratio covenant in its two syndicated credit agreements, it initiated discussions with the applicable financial institutions beginning last quarter in order to resolve the default. To date, Desc has complied and met with all other credit obligations and principal and interest payments under its credit agreements. Once this process is completed, the restructuring will give Desc greater financial flexibility and enable it to comply with the conditions stipulated in its credit agreements. This refinancing is led by Citigroup, BBVA Bancomer and Inbursa Grupo Financiero. To date, Desc has met with these banks and all of its creditors in New York and in Mexico City. Desc expects to conclude these negotiations in the next few months. As part of this renegotiation, the Board of Directors approved the granting of certain guarantees, the commitment of satisfying new financial ratios and the allocation of part of the proceeds from the sale of assets to prepay the bank debt once the restructuring process is concluded, and as result cash levels will experience a significant decline. WWW.DESC.COM.MX THIRD QUARTER 2003 RESULTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIVESTITURES ------------ In the third quarter of 2003, Desc sold the assets of its adhesives and waterproofing businesses in the Branded Products Division to the Henkel Group. The amount of the transaction will not de disclosed. The proceeds of this transaction will be used to strengthen the Company's financial structure. ADOPTION OF BULLETIN C-15 "VALUATION AND TREATMENT OF LONG-TERM ASSET --------------------------------------------------------------------- DETERIORATION" -------------- The objective of this Bulletin is to identify the possible deterioration of tangible and intangible fixed assets and goodwill amortization. It establishes the criteria for recognizing losses in these items, and the manner in which to present them in the financial statements, including discontinued operations. Long term assets are those assets needed for operating the business, including those expecting to provide future benefits (cash flow), be it operational or corporate. Due to the fact that it will be mandatory to apply Bulletin C-15 starting in 2004, the Company has initiated the process of valuing its different assets and expects there to be a relevant charge in the Income Statement once this valuation is completed.

NOTE: Please refer to the end of this release to the Non GAAP Financial Reconciliation Schedule. During 3Q03, sales and operating income in dollars declined by 12.9% and 99.2%, respectively, compared to 3Q02 as a result of: a) Lower sales in the axle, propeller shaft and pick-up box businesses due to the closing of the DaimlerChrysler plant in Mexico City. In the aluminum and steel wheel, cv joint and light and heavy duty transmission businesses, the declines were due to lower orders from OEMs in the United States and Mexico. b) OEMs such as GM, Ford, RenaultNissan and VW continued having technical shutdowns during the quarter due to high inventory levels. c) The domestic aftermarket division posted lower sales in the piston business due to the reuse of these components. d) Mexico's total vehicle production as of September 30, 2003 was 1,214,564 units, which represents a 15.0% decline compared to the same period of 2002. e) Total vehicle production in the United States, from January through September 2003, was 9,056,709 units, which represents a 3.0% decline versus the same period of 2002. These factors caused operating income to reach US $0.1 million, with an operating margin of 0.1% and EBITDA of US $17 million. During the third quarter the implementation of the Tractor Project continued. This project which consists of manufacturing components for axles, half-axles and output shafts contributed sales of US $42.7 million during 2003 and US$ 17.4 million during 3Q03. The increases in volumes year-over-year are listed below: |X| pins 42.6% and, |X| propeller shafts 27.3%. WWW.DESC.COM.MX THIRD QUARTER 2003 RESULTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year-over-year, the most significant volume reductions were in the following businesses: |X| pick-up boxes 100.0%, |X| aluminum wheels 33.7%, |X| steel wheels 29.5%, |X| heavy-duty transmissions 27.1%, |X| light transmissions 20.5% and, |X| pistons 16.0%. Export sales reached US $121 million, a 6.1% decline compared to the same quarter in 2002. The average capacity utilization in the transmission, stamping, axle and propeller shaft businesses reached approximately 54%. During 3Q03, investments were made in the following projects: 1. Tractor Project - US $4.2 million to complete the installation and validation of the machinery which was moved from the United States to Queretaro and the State of Mexico, 2. CV joint plant - US $1.6 million invested in expansion and maintenance of production lines, and, 3. Maintenance - US $3.0 million for maintenance of the remaining operations. OTHER EVENTS ------------ Starting in the third quarter of 2003, due to its high manufacturing quality, the gear business began supplying components for the front axle to BMW North America for its X5 platform as well as components for the front axle to Nissan for its ZW platform.

During 3Q03, dollar sales declined slightly, 1.1% compared to 3Q02, from US $185 million to US $183 million. Operating income and EBITDA in dollars declined 57.2% and 35.3%, respectively, compared to 3Q02 due to the increases in raw material prices affecting mainly the polymers and specialized products businesses. It is worth noting that during the third quarter of 2003, the ecosystems division which consists of the phosphate and laminates businesses improved its operating income and EBITDA in dollars by 11.3% and 1.2%, respectively, when compared to 3Q02 due to improvements in the phosphates business, resulting from improvements in the operation and in raw material prices. Exports for the quarter increased 2.3%, from US $68 million in 3Q02, to US $69 million in 3Q03, demonstrating the market diversification effort done by our divisions. During 3Q03 Desc continued to experience pressure from our clients to maintain prices of our finished products. Compared to 3Q02, Desc's main raw materials such as butadiene monomer, natural gas, acetocyanohidrine and high sulfate full oil (HSFO) registered price increases of 36.8%, 61.6%, 20.5% and 20.6%, respectively. These raw material price increases have not been entirely passed on to final prices due to the current market conditions. Capex reached US $2.8 million, allocated to meet future demand in the rubber business for polymers and specialties products.

In ASF (Authentic Specialty Foods), the branded products business in the U.S., the new products launched under the "La Victoria" and "Embasa" brands have been well accepted. In Mexico, the chiles and salsas "Del Fuerte" continue increasing its sales, as well as higher sales of "Zuko" brand powdered beverage mix, have offset the drop in demand stemming from lower economic activity in the U.S. and Mexico. The numbers reported for 3Q02 were not representative and demonstrated an extraordinary behavior due to an adjustment of inventories. As a result of this, the operating margin in the branded products division declined from 7.9% in 3Q02 to 4.7% in 3Q03. PORK BUSINESS During the quarter, sales in the Pork Business increased 27.8% when compared to 3Q02. The operating margin in the 3Q03 was 3.1% compared to 22.2% reported in 3Q02 due to the closing of the Bajio operation in 2002. For this reason sales figures and operating margin are not comparable. Considering pork operations in the Bajio during the 3Q02, operating margin improved from -10.4% to 3.1% in the 3Q03, based on Pork price increases, from $10.90 per kg in 3Q02 to $13.10 per kg in 3Q03. Capacity utilization remained at 100% in the Southeast region, due to a high demand. Investments in fixed assets reached US $0.22 million, which was allocated to equipment to maintain and modify the infrastructure of farms.

NOTE: Please refer to the end of this release to the Non GAAP Financial reconciliation Schedule. Sales in 3Q03 reached US $36 million, an increase of 49.4% when compared to 3Q02, driven mainly by the residential project Bosques de Santa Fe.

Press Release included as Item 1 to this Form 6-K. ANNEX 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOLLOWED BY THE COMPANY ARE IN CONFORMITY WITH MEXICAN GAAP, WHICH REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO MAKE CERTAIN ESTIMATES AND USE CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS TO DETERMINE THE VALUATION OF SOME OF THE BALANCES INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TO MAKE THE DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FOR INCLUSION THEREIN. ALTHOUGH ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE ESTIMATES, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THE ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS USED WERE APPROPRIATE IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOLLOWED BY THE COMPANY ARE AS FOLLOWS: CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES - IN 2001 THE NEW BULLETIN C-2 "FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS", WENT INTO EFFECT. THIS BULLETIN ESTABLISHES THE METHODOLOGY FOR VALUING AND RECORDING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, AND REQUIRES RECOGNITION OF ALL EFFECTS OF THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONTRACTED ON THE BALANCE SHEET AS EITHER ASSETS OR LIABILITIES, UNDER NET COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL RESULT. THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED AND EFFECTIVELY FUNCTION AS HEDGING OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OR FUTURE TRANSACTIONS WILL AFFECT THE ASSETS, LIABILITIES OR THE RESPECTIVE TRANSACTIONS WHEN THEY ARE REALIZED, SETTLED OR TAKE PLACE, RESPECTIVELY. AS OF 2001, INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD 40, "INVESTMENT PROPERTIES," ENTERED INTO EFFECT ON A SUPPLEMENTAL BASIS, ESTABLISHING VALUATION CRITERIA FOR PROPERTIES WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO GENERATE PROFITS OR INCREASE VALUE OR BOTH. PURSUANT TO CIRCULAR 55 ISSUED BY THE MEXICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, THE VALUATION MODEL APPLICABLE TO MEXICO IS THE COST MODEL, WHICH ESTABLISHES THAT SUCH PROPERTIES MUST BE VALUED AT ACQUISITION AND/OR CONSTRUCTION COST AND ARE RESTATED BY APPLYING THE NPCI, LESS THE RESPECTIVE ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION. BEGINNING JANUARY 2000, THE COMPANY ADOPTED THE PROVISIONS OF NEW BULLETIN D-4, "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME AND ASSET TAXES AND EMPLOYEE PROFIT SHARING". THE EFFECT OF THE ADOPTION WAS TO RECOGNIZE, AN INITIAL LONG-TERM LIABILITY FOR DEFERRED INCOME TAXES AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY UNDER "CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF INITIAL RECOGNITION OF DEFERRED INCOME TAXES". AS A RESULT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ADOPTION OF BULLETIN D-4 MENTIONED ABOVE, THE COMPANY CHANGED ITS METHOD FOR RECORDING THE EFFECT FROM TAX CONSOLIDATION. UNTIL 1999, IT WAS RECORDED IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE RESPECTIVE ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED TAX RETURN WAS FILED. BEGINNING IN 2000, THIS BENEFIT IS RECORDED IN RESULTS OF THE YEAR IN WHICH THE BENEFIT IS GENERATED. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION - THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE THOSE OF DESC AND THE SUBSIDIARIES IN WHICH THERE IS STOCKHOLDING AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL. ALL SIGNIFICANT INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE EQUITY IN NET INCOME (LOSS) AND CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY OF THOSE SUBSIDIARIES THAT WERE ACQUIRED OR SOLD, HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OR UP TO THE DATE ON WHICH THE TRANSACTIONS TOOK PLACE AND WAS RESTATED IN TERMS OF THE PURCHASING POWER AS OF THE END OF THE LATEST PERIOD. INVESTMENTS IN SHARES OF ASSOCIATED COMPANIES AND UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES ARE RECORDED USING THE EQUITY METHOD. TRANSLATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SUBSIDIARIES - THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES, WHOSE OPERATIONS ARE NOT AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE MEXICAN COMPANIES ("FOREIGN ENTITIES"), ARE RESTATED FOR THE INFLATION RATE OF THE RESPECTIVE FOREIGN COUNTRY AND ARE TRANSLATED INTO MEXICAN PESOS AT THE EXCHANGE RATE IN EFFECT AT THE END OF THE YEAR. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES, WHOSE OPERATIONS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE MEXICAN COMPANIES ("INTEGRATED FOREIGN OPERATIONS"), ARE TRANSLATED USING YEAREND EXCHANGE RATES FOR MONETARY ITEMS AND HISTORICAL EXCHANGE RATES FOR NONMONETARY ITEMS, AND THE TRANSLATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE THEN RESTATED USING THE NATIONAL CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (NCPI) OF MEXICO. THE EFFECTS OF TRANSLATING FOREIGN ENTITIES ARE RECORDED DIRECTLY IN STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY IN THE "CUMULATIVE EFFEECT OF RESTATEMENT" ACCOUNT. THE EFFECTS OF TRANSLATING INTEGRATED FOREIGN OPERATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THE "INTEGRAL FINANCING RESULT" OF THE YEAR IN THE "MONETARY POSITION GAIN" ACCOUNT. SUCH EFFECTS ARE NOT SIGNIFICANT. RECOGNITION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION - THE COMPANIES RESTATE ALL OF THEIR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN TERMS OF THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE MEXICAN PESO AS OF THE END OF THE LATEST PERIOD, THEREBY COMPREHENSIVELY RECOGNIZING THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION. THE PRIOR YEAR AMOUNTS PRESENTED HEREIN DIFFER FROM THOSER ORIGINALLY REPORTED IN TERMS OF MEXICAN PESOS OF THE RESPECTIVE YEAR. CONSEQUENTLY, ALL FINANCIAL STATEMENT AMOUNTS ARE COMPARABLE, BOTH FOR THE CURRENT AND THE PRIOR YEAR, BECAUSE ALL ARE STATED IN TERMS OF MEXICAN PESOS OF THE SAME PURCHASING POWER. CASH EQUIVALENTS - INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES CONSIST MAINLY OF ACCEPTANCES, BANK PROMISSORY NOTES, AND PAPER ISSUED BY THE MEXICAN AND UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GOVERNMENTS, AT MARKET (COST PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST). INVENTORIES AND COST OF SALES - INVENTORIES ARE ORIGINALLY RECORDED AT THEIR ACQUISITION OR MANUFACTURING COST AND RESTATED TO THEIR SPECIFIC NET REPLACEMENT COST WITHOUT EXCEEDING NET REALIZABLE VALUE. SUBSTANTIALY ALL SUBSIDIARIES COMPUTE COST OF SALES USING THE REPLACEMENT COST AT THE TIME OF SALE. LAND HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT AND REAL ESTATE PROJECTS - UNDEVELOPED LAND REPRESENTS LAND RESERVES THAT, TOGETHER WITH DEVELOPED LAND AND ONGOING AND COMPLETED PROJECTS, ARE CONSIDERED NON-CURRENT INVENTORIES, SINCE THEY ARE HELD FOR SALE. THEY INCLUDE ACQUISITION, DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND ARE RESTATED IN U.S. DOLLARS BASED ON THE SLIPPAGE OF THE MARKET EXCHANGE RATE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHOWING VALUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. THE COMPANY CAPITALIZES THE NET COMPREHENSIVE FINANCING COST ON DEBT USED TO FINANCE REAL ESTATE PROJECTS IN PROGRESS, IN ADDITION TO THEIR CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS. INVESTMENT IN SHARES - INVESTMENT IN SHARES HAS BEEN RECORDED USING THE EQUITY METHOD, BASED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED ON THE SAME BASIS AS THOSE OF THE COMPANY, AND IS PRESENTED UNDER OTHER ASSETS IN THE BALANCE SHEET. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - THIS ITEM IS RECORDED AT ACQUISITION COST AND IS RESTATED BY USING NCPI FACTORS. FOR FOREIGN FIXED ASSETS, THEIR ACQUISITION COST IS RESTATED FOR INFLATION OF THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AND THE FLUCTUATION OF THE MEXICAN PESO AGAINST SUCH CURRENCY IS CONSIDERED. DEPRECIATION IS CALCULATED BY THE STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD BASED ON THE REMAINING USEFUL LIVES OF THE ASSETS. THE COMPANIES CAPITALIZE THE NET COMPREHENSIVE FINANCING COST ON DEBT USED TO FINANCE CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS AND THE INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT, UNTIL THEY ARE PLACED IN SERVICE. IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS - THE AMOUNTS SHOWN IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME BASICALLY REFER TO THE REDUCTION IN VALUE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT OF SOME PRODUCTION FACILITIES, IN ORDER TO REFLECT THEIR REALIZABLE VALUE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CURRENT SITUATION OF SUCH BUSINESSES. GOODWILL - THE GOODWILL RESULTING FROM ACQUISITIONS MADE IN EXCESS OF BOOK VALUE IS AMORTIZED OVER PERIODS RANGING FROM FIVE TO 20 YEARS, THE TERMS OVER WHICH THE BENEFITS FROM THE INVESTMENT WILL BE REALIZED. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM ANY TYPE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT, EXCEPT FOR INVESTMENTS IN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD TO MATURITY, ARE PRESENTED IN THE BALANCE SHEET AT FAIR VALUE. THE EFFECTS OF THE VALUATION OF A FINANCIAL ASSET OR LIABILITY ARE RECOGNIZED IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE RESPECTIVE PERIOD. INVESTMENTS IN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD TO MATURITY ARE VALUED AT ACQUISITION COST. THE COSTS AND YIELDS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ARE RECOGNIZED IN RESULTS OF THE PERIOD IN WHICH THEY OCCUR. DERIVATE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - THE INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY THE COMPANY INCLUDES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO MANAGE ITS EXPOSURE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES USING DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. THESE INSTRUMENTS ARE TRADED ONLY WITH AUTHORIZED INSTITUTIONS AND READING LIMITS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR EACH INSTITUTION. THE COMPANY DOES NOT CARRY OUT TRANSACTIONS WITH DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SPECULATION. THE DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CURRENTLY USED BY THE COMPANY ARE PRIMARILY HEDGE CONTRACTS TO REDUCE ITS EXPOSURE TO EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS. PREMIUMS PAID ARE AMORTIZED OVER THE TERM OF THE DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT USING THE UNPAID BALANCE OF THE LIABILITY BEING HEDGED. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS IDENTIFIED AS HEDGES ARE VALUED BY APPLYING THE SAME VALUATION CRITERIA USED FOR THE ASSETS OR LIABILITIES HEDGED, AND THE EFFECTS OF THEIR VALUATION ARE RECOGNIZED IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, NET OF COSTS, EXPENSES, OR REVENUE FROM THE ASSETS OR LIABILITIES WHOSE RISKS ARE BEING HEDGED. THE FINANCIAL ASSETS OR LIABILITIES GENERATED BY THESE INSTRUMENTS ARE PRESENTED IN THE BALANCE SHEET AS A REDUCTION OF THE LIABILITIES OR ASSETS WHOSE RISKS ARE BIENG HEDGED. INCOME TAX, ASSET TAX AND EMPLOYEE PROFIT SHARING - INCOME TAX (ISR) AND EMPLOYEE STATUTORY PROFIT-SHARING (PTU) ARE RECORDED IN RESULTS OF THE YEAR IN WHICH THEY ARE INCURRED. DEFERRED INCOME TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE RECOGNIZED FOR TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES RESULTING FROM COMPARING THE BOOK AND TAX VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, PLUS ANY FUTURE BENEFITS FROM TAX LOSS CARRYFORWARDS DEFERRED INCOME TAX ASSETS ARE REDUCES BY ANY BENEFITS THAT, IN THE OPINION OF MANAGEMENT, WILL PROBABLY NOT BE REALIZED. DEFERRED PTU IS DERIVED FROM TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BOOK RESULT AND INCOME FOR PTU PURPOSES AND IS RECOGNIZED ONLY WHEN IT CAN BE REASONABLY ASSUMED THAT THEY WILL GENERATE A LIABILITY OR BENEFIT, AND THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS SITUATION WILL CHANGE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE LIABILITIES WILL NOT BE PAID OR BENEFITS WILL NOT BE REALIZED. THE ASSET TAX PAID THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE RECOVERABLE IS RECORDED AS AN ADVANCE PAYMENT OF INCOME TAX AND IS PRESENTED ON THE BALANCE SHEET WITH DEFERRED ISR. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS - THE LIABILITY FROM SENIORITY PREMIUMS, PENSIONS AND RETIREMENT PAYMENTS, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO A PENSION, IS RECORDED AS ACCRUED, AND IS CALCULATED BY INDEPENDENT ACTUARIES BASED ON THE PROJECTED CREDIT UNIT METHOD, AT REAL INTEREST RATES. THEREFORE, THE LIABILITY IS BEING RECOGNIZED WHICH, AT PRESENT VALUE, IS EXPECTED TO COVER THE OBLIGATION FOR THESE BENEFITS AT THE ESTIMATED RETIREMENT DATE OF ALL THE COMPANIES' EMPLOYEES. SEVERANCE PAYMENTS ARE CHARGED TO RESULTS WHEN THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE PAYABLE. RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - THIS ITEM CONSISTS OF MONETARY POSITION RESULT ACCUMULATED THROUGH THE FIRST RESTATEMENT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE GAIN (LOSS) FROM HOLDING MONETARY ASSETS, BECAUSE PRICE LEVELS INCREASED ABOVE (BELOW) INFLATION. REVENUE RECOGNITION - REVENUES OF THE SUBSIDIARIES OF THE AUTOPARTS, CHEMICAL AND FOOD SECTORS ARE RECOGNIZED WHEN THE INVENTORIES ARE DELIVERED OR SHIPPED TO CUSTOMERS AND CUSTOMERS ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM. THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR RECOGNIZES THE REVENUES AND COSTS FROM SALES OF URBANIZED PLOTS OF LAND IN RESULTS WHEN THE SALES ARE FORMALIZED AND THE DEPOSITS SECURING THE TRANSACTION ARE RECEIVED. THE INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT OF THE COST OF THE LAND AND REAL ESTATE PROJECT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION THE RELATIVE SELLING PRICE OF THE TOTAL PROJECT SO AS TO MAINTAIN THE SAME PROFIT MARGIN THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT. REVENUES AND COSTS FROM REAL ESTATE PROJECTS ARE RECORDED ORIGINALLY AS A DEFERRED CREDIT FOR CONSTRUCTION COMMITMENTS AND AS REAL ESTATE PROJECTS IN PROCESS, AND ARE RECOGNIZED IN RESULTS BASED ON THE "PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION" METHOD. THEREFORE, REVENUE IS MATCHED WITH COSTS INCURRED TO REACH THE STAGE OF COMPLETION TO TERMINATE THE PROJECT. IF THE LAST ESTIMATED COSTS DETERMINED EXCEED THE TOTAL REVENUES CONTRACTED, THE RESPECTIVE PROVISION IS CHARGED TO RESULTS OF THE YEAR. INTEGRAL FINANCIAL RESULT - THIS REPRESENTS THE NET EFFECT OF INTEREST EARNED AND INCURRED, EXCHANGE GAINS AND LOSSES AND MONETARY POSITION GAIN OR LOSS ON, WHICH IS THE RESULT OF MAINTAINING MONETARY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES WHOSE REAL PURCHASING POWER IS MODIFIED BY THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS ARE RECORDED AT THE EFFECTIVE EXCHANGE RATE AT THE DATE THE TRANSACTIONS ARE CARRIED OUT AND FOREIGN CURRENCY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE ADJUSTED TO THE EXCHANGE RATE EFFECTIVE AT YEAREND. INCOME PER SHARE - BASIC INCOME (LOSS) PER ORDINARY SHARE IS CALCULATED BY DIVIDING CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME (LOSS) OF MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS BY THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING DURING THE YEAR.
