recorded in the same period of last year. The following table is a breakdown

    Residential
    Residential revenues represented 41% of the total during the third
quarter, compared with 37% in the same quarter of 2007. Revenues in the
residential business segment reached Ps. 292 million, an increase of 28% in
comparison to Ps. 228 million in the third quarter of 2007.
    The 28% increase in revenues is directly related to the 44% increase in
RGUs and was mainly driven by:    1.  An increase in the number of mobile RGUs
to reach 54,969,
        and an increase in the number of pay TV RGUs to reach 16,161.
        The Company continues to successfully upsell to its existing and
        new client base the products that were launched late September and
        December 2007 respectively;
    2.  An increase in the number of data RGUs which increased by 109% to
        reach 25,783. Customers that had previously declined broadband are
        revisiting their decision once they have decided on a double play
        with pay TV; and,
    3.  A 9% increase in voice RGUs (formerly voice lines in service) in
        the residential business segment to reach 237,486.

    In addition, the increase in revenues is due to an agreement with
Megacable to sell Maxcom's share in approximately 10,000 subscribers of our
Toluca and Queretaro operations, for voice termination under the original
triple play agreements. The Company entered into commercial agreements with
Telemedia in Queretaro and Cablenet in Toluca during 2005 in order to provide
voice termination for triple-play customers, which has now been transferred to
Megacable. However, Megacable acquired these 2 companies during 2005 and 2008,
respectively.  Megacable and Maxcom mutually agreed to terminate the strategic
alliance, and as part of the transaction, approximately 10,000 subscribers
were sold to Megacable. It is important to highlight that this transaction
does not include any transfer of infrastructure since it belongs in its
entirety to Megacable. As part of the agreement, Maxcom will continue to
provide different services in all of the cities in which it operates.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 revenues from the residential
business totaled Ps. 821 million, and increased by 24% from Ps. 661 million
recorded in the same period of 2007.
    The takeup of products and upselling has improved the RGU per customer in
the residential business from 1.1 in the third quarter of 2007 to 1.5 RGUs per
customer in the third quarter of 2008.
    Commercial
    Commercial revenues represented 30% of the total during the third quarter
of 2008, and represented 29% in the in the third quarter of 2007. Revenues in
Commercial Business reached Ps. 213 million, an increase of 17% in comparison
to Ps. 182 million in the same period of 2007.
    The 17% or Ps. 31 million increase in revenues during the third quarter of
2008 is mainly explained by an increase in the average revenue per customer
that the company recorded and a 25% increase in the number of RGUs. The
increase in RGUs was mainly driven by:    1.  A higher number of data RGUs in
the quarter to reach 3,006;
    2.  A higher number of voice RGUs (formerly voice lines in service)
        which have increased by 25% to 79,674; and,
    3.  The higher number of RGUs from other value added-services that
        the Company provides, including: firewall protection, IT outsourcing,
        hosting and other services.

    It is important to highlight that the number of customers decreased by 7%
in comparison to the third quarter of 2007. As in the previous quarter the
Company continues to filter clients that had only one or two commercial voice
lines. However, although the number of customers is declining, the Company has
been successful in increasing its voice lines per customer numbers from 10.8
lines per customer in the third quarter of 2007 to 14.8 lines per customer in
the third quarter of 2008.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 revenues from the commercial
business totaled Ps. 605 million, or a 33% increase when compared to
Ps. 455 million recorded in the same period of 2007.
    In addition, RGU per commercial customer increased from 11.1 in the third
quarter of 2007 to 14.9 in the third quarter of 2008.
    Public Telephony
    Public Telephony represented 16% of total revenues during the third
quarter of 2008. Revenues in this business unit totaled Ps. 113 million, an
increase of 5% when compared to Ps. 108 million in 2007. The increase in
revenues is attributed to the 29% growth in the base of public telephones
installed. However and partially offsetting this revenue growth, as the number
of public telephones continues to grow, the average revenue per public
telephone tends to decline. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008
revenues from the public telephony business totaled Ps. 309 million, an
increase of 7% when compared to Ps. 290 million recorded in the same period of
2007.
    Wholesale
    In the third quarter of 2008, Wholesale revenues increased by 3% to reach
Ps. 95 million, in comparison to the Ps. 92 million registered during the same
quarter in the previous year. The increase in the Wholesale Business revenues
was mainly driven by an increase in long distance termination and CPPN traffic
due to better call completion through Maxcom's network. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 revenues from the wholesale business decreased from
Ps. 293 million recorded in the nine months of 2007 to Ps. 249 million.
    Other Revenue
    Other revenue represented less than 1% of total revenues and reached
Ps. 4 million, in comparison to Ps. 7 million or also less than 1% of total
revenues in the previous quarter. Other revenues are primarily comprised of
lease of microwave frequencies and CPE sales. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 revenues from other businesses totaled Ps. 27 million, or
2% of total revenues from Ps. 28 million recorded in the same period of 2007,
or 2% of total revenues.
    Network Operation Cost
    Network Operation Costs in the third quarter of 2008 increased 12% or
Ps. 30 million to reach Ps. 284 million in comparison to Ps. 254 million in
the previous year, and was mainly due to a 14% increase in network operating
services and an increase in technical expenses of 4%. However and partially
offsetting this increase, installation expenses decreased by 34% due to a
reduction in the cost per single line installed and several promotional offers
with the Company's bundled products.
    The increases in network operating services were mainly in:
    1.  The amounts paid for pay TV content and the cost of the Company's
        mobile services;
    2.  The amounts paid for connection to internet services;
    3.  Higher costs in long distance interconnection;
    4.  The lease of circuits and ports; and,
    5.  The amounts paid to carriers for calling party pays.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 network operation costs
totaled Ps. 795 million from Ps. 725 million, a 10% increase in comparison to
the same period last year.
    Gross margin for the third quarter of 2008 was 60%, the same as the gross
margin recorded in the same period of 2007. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 gross margin was 60%, 244 basis points higher than the 58%
gross margin recorded in the same period of 2007.
    SG&A
    SG&A expenses were Ps. 212 million in the third quarter of 2008, 15% above
Ps. 184 million in the same period of 2007. The Ps. 28 million increase was
mainly driven by higher bad debt expenses as a result of the deteriorating
economic environment in Mexico, higher external advisory expenses, salaries
and staff related costs, wages and benefits as a result of an increasing
headcount specifically in the residential and commercial sales forces which
have increased as a result of the increased coverage areas. In addition, to an
increase in sales commissions and marketing expenses, among others. These
increases were partially offset by lower insurance costs and stock option
compensation.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 SG&A expenses totaled
Ps. 599 million, 16% above Ps. 514 million reported in the same period last
year.
    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
    EBITDA for the third quarter of 2008 was Ps. 222 million, a 23% increase
from Ps. 180 million in the same period of last year. EBITDA Margin was 31%
during the period, 181 basis points higher than 29% in the third quarter of
2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, EBITDA amounted to
Ps. 618 million, 27% higher than the Ps. 488 million registered in the same
period of 2007. EBITDA margin for the nine months of 2008 was 31%, 246 basis
points higher than the 28% margin recorded in the same period of 2007.
    Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2008 was Ps. 223 million, 21%
higher than Ps. 184 million in the same period of last year. Adjusted EBITDA
Margin was 31% during the period, 135 basis points higher than in the third
quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Adjusted EBITDA

the same period of 2007. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the nine month period of
2008 was 31%, 224 basis points higher than the 29% margin reported in the same
period of 2007.

higher than Ps. 74 million in the previous year. Operating margin for the
third quarter was 11%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, operating
income for the Company reached Ps. 231 million, 25% higher than the result

    The higher Comprehensive Financial Result was due to a net exchange rate
loss of Ps. 44 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to a net
exchange rate gain of Ps. 13 million recognized in the same period of last
year, mainly due to the US dollar cash position of the company. At September
30, 2008 the exchange rate between the Mexican Peso and the United States
Dollar was Ps. 10.7919, compared to Ps. 10.9203 at the end of September 30,
2007.
    The Company recorded a decrease of Ps. 28 million on the amount of net
interest expense when compared to the same quarter of 2007. While the amount
of interest expense increased due to the overall amount of debt in a year over
year basis (The Company reopened its Senior Notes on September 5, 2007 for an
additional US$25 million), the capitalization of interest cost on
telecommunications network infrastructure build out partially offset this
increase.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, comprehensive cost of
financing for the Company reached Ps. 175 million when compared to
Ps. 101 million recorded in the same period of 2007.
    As a result of the change in the accounting standards in Mexico (see
"Adoption of New Accounting Standards"), inflationary accounting (NIF B-10) is
not required in a low-inflation environment. As of the third quarter of 2008
the Company prepared its financial statements in terms of historical Mexican
pesos. Therefore, the comprehensive financial result will no longer be
affected by the results in monetary position. In this case the company
recorded a monetary position loss of Ps. 33 million in the third quarter of
2007 which does not compare to the third quarter of 2008.
    Taxes
    During the first quarter of 2008 and according to the latest tax reform in
Mexico, asset tax was replaced with the flat corporate tax (Impuesto
Empresarial a Tasa Unica). The IETU is calculated on a cash-flow basis, with
the base determined by reducing taxable revenue (mainly income derived from
the sale of goods, the rendering of independent services and the leasing of
tangible goods) with specific deductions. Since Capex is deductible, the
Company is able to minimize tax payments given the aggressive Capex plan for
2008.
    The Company recorded Ps. 8 million in taxes during the third quarter 2008,
compared to Ps. 43 million in the third quarter of 2007. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded Ps. 15 million in taxes, which
compare to Ps. 101 million recorded in the same period of 2007.
    While Asset Tax, IETU and Income Tax represent cash outflows, Deferred
Income Tax is a non-cash item.

    Capital Expenditures
    Capital Expenditures during the period totaled Ps. 400 million, higher
than the Ps. 275 million recorded in the third quarter of 2007. Capital
Expenditures were primarily used for telephone network systems, the build out
of new clusters, and equipment for Maxcom's network expansion. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 the Company recorded Ps. 1,114 million which
is greater than the Ps. 939 million recorded in the same period of last year.
    Indebtedness
    At September 30, 2008 the Company reported its indebtedness level at
Ps. 2,237 million. The Company's leverage ratio measured by Total Debt/EBITDA,
presented a decrease, from 3.6 times in 2007 to 2.7 times in 2008. In
addition, Net Debt/EBITDA ratio presented an even more important profile
reduction from 3.3 times in 2007 to 0.9 times in 2008, as a result of the cash
proceeds from the Company's initial public offering.
    As a reminder in May 2007, the Company entered into a currency swap
transaction to minimize the exchange rate risks related to the coupon payments
with respect to US$150 million aggregate principal amount of the senior
secured notes due 2014, for payments during the period from June 2008 to
December 2010. In addition, the Company's cash position is almost entirely in
US dollars which further reduce the risk with currency fluctuations.
    Adoption of New Accounting Standards
    B-10: As of January 1, 2008, the company has adopted the changes to
"Inflationary Effects", B-10 in accordance with the Mexican Financial
Standards ("NIF") which establishes the rules for the recognition of
inflationary effects in the country; furthermore, it incorporates changes such
as, reclassifying accumulated results for non-monetary assets and has the
possibility of choosing between the INPC (national consumer price index) and
the value of UDIs. It has been determined that the country does not face an
inflationary environment, and therefore the company as of January 1, 2008 will
suspend the recognition of these inflationary effects in its financial
information. Consequently, the financial information corresponding to the
period ended September 30, 2007 is expressed in Millions of Mexican Pesos of
purchasing power at December 31, 2007 (date on which bulletin B-10 was still
in effect) and the financial information for September 30, 2008 is in current
Mexican Pesos.
