Mexico City, October 2nd, 2003 - DESC, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: DES; BMV: DESC)
announces the closing of the sale of its adhesive and waterproofing businesses,

The adhesives business includes the following brands: Resistol(TM),
Resistolito(TM) and Simon(TM) and the waterproofing business includes:
Fester(TM), Acriton(TM) and Resikon(TM) brands.

DESC, S.A. DE C.V. (NYSE: DES; BMV: DESC) is one of Mexico's largest industrial
groups with sales of approximately US$ 2.0 billion during 2002 and more than
16,000 employees. Through its subsidiaries, the Company is a leading operator in

                    DESC ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2003 RESULTS
                    -----------------------------------------

Mexico City, October 23, 2003 - Desc, S.A. de C.V. (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.

                                                      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.

  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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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.

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%.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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.

                                                      THIRD QUARTER 2003 RESULTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BRANDED PRODUCTS

During 3Q03, net sales increased 11.0% when compared to 3Q02, due to the strong
performance of "Del Fuerte" brand tomato puree, "Embasa" brand ketchup and
higher exports to the U.S. in the coffee business, as well as the price
increases in the majority of categories in the domestic market.

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.

(1) "EBITDA" as used in this Press Release is Operating Income (Loss) plus the
sum of Depreciation and Amortization (these under Mexican GAAP), and is
presented because we believe that this term provides useful information
regarding our debt service ability and other internal financial analysis.
"EBITDA" should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our
consolidated income statements or other financial statements prepared in
accordance with Mexican GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

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.

Operating margin for 3Q03 was 24.9%, compared to 10.6% during 3Q02 due to
greater sales and lower operating expenses during the quarter.

Sales for the 3Q03 were as follows:

                    |X|  Bosques de Santa Fe 63.7%,
                    |X|  Punta Mita 14.3%,
                    |X|  Completed inventory (Bosques de las Lomas) 12.5% and,
                    |X|  Commercial lots 9.5%.


During this quarter, the Real Estate Sector sold 11 residential lots and one lot

                                    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

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.

PAYABLE.

AND FOOD SECTORS ARE RECOGNIZED WHEN THE INVENTORIES ARE DELIVERED OR SHIPPED TO
CUSTOMERS AND CUSTOMERS ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM.

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.

NET CONSOLIDATED INCOME FOR THE PERIOD PLUS (LESS) ANY GAINS OR LOSSES THAT
UNDER SPECIFIC ACCOUNTING REGULATIONS ARE RECORDED DIRECTLY IN STOCKHOLDERS'
EQUITY, SUCH AS THE GAIN OR LOSS FROM HOLDING NONMONETARY ASSETS.
