GOLTV TO EXCLUSIVELY AIR INSTRUCTIONAL SERIES “ARGENTINE SOCCER SECRETS”

In nominal terms -- considering figures for each quarter in current pesos -- sales grew 9%, EBITDA increased 10%, and net income rose 48%.

"During the quarter we offered superior advertising plans to satisfy the continuous demand of our advertisers in all of our time slots, which translated into robust sales growth," commented Mario San Roman, Chief Executive Officer of TV Azteca. "The increase further strengthened our market positioning and was key in the solid EBITDA and net income growth."

Second Quarter Results

As detailed in previous financial reports, changes in financial reporting standards were implemented this year. Under the new rules, 2008 figures are expressed in current pesos, while 2007 figures are reported in constant pesos as of December 2007.

The following analysis presents financial results under the new rules.

2Q 20072Q 2008 Ps. Change % Nominal*

Net Sales$ 2,309$ 2,448$ 139 6 % 9 %

Costs and Expenses $ 1,433$ 1,514 $ 81 6 % 9 %

EBITDA $ 876 $ 934 $ 58 7 %10 %

Net Majority Income$ 225 $ 323 $ 9844 %48 %

Net Income per CPO$ 0.08 $ 0.11 $ 0.0344 %48 %

EBITDA: Operating Profit Before Depreciation and Amortization. The number of CPOs outstanding as of June 30, 2008 was 2,938 million.

Figures from 2Q07 in millions of pesos of constant purchasing power as of December 31, 2007, and figures of 2Q08 in current pesos.

* Change in nominal terms is included to help in the analysis of this report. The nominal change is equivalent to adding the accumulated inflation between June and December of 2007 to the new financial reporting rules.

Net Sales

"Our sales force offered ad options designed to achieve superior impact in the target segment of each one of our clients in Mexico, contributing to optimally positioning their brands in the viewership's preference, and positively impacting the demand for commercial airtime in TV Azteca," added Mr. San Roman.

Second quarter revenue includes sales of Ps.54 million from Proyecto 40, which have been consolidated in TV Azteca results beginning this year.

TV Azteca also reported net sales from Azteca America -- the company's wholly owned broadcast television network focused on the U.S. Hispanic market -- of Ps.116 million, compared to Ps.145 million a year ago. The reduction this quarter is related to the adverse economic environment in the United States.

Programming sales to other countries were Ps.18 million in the period, compared to Ps.25 million the prior year. Revenue this quarter resulted from the sale of the shows Cambio de Vida, Lo que Callamos las Mujeres and Vivir por Ti, in Central and South America, and Bellezas Indomables in Asia and Europe.

Revenue from barter sales was Ps.88 million, 40% above the Ps.63 million from the previous year.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses grew 6% in the quarter, as a result of an increase in the same proportion of programming, production and transmission costs -- to Ps.1,212 million, from Ps.1,138 million in the same period a year ago -- and a 3% raise in selling and administrative expenses -- to Ps.302 million, compared with Ps.294 million in the same quarter of 2007.

The increase in costs mainly reflects the consolidation of Proyecto 40 in TV Azteca results, and the broadcast of important sports events this quarter.

Growth in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to a raise in personnel expenses, travel and advisory fees, in line with increased operations this quarter.

EBITDA and Net Income

EBITDA was Ps.934 million, 7% above the Ps.876 million in the same period of the prior year. EBITDA margin was 38%, constant compared with the same quarter of 2007.

Below EBITDA the main changes were: i) reduction of Ps.84 million in other expenses; ii) increase of Ps.23 million in comprehensive cost of financing, mainly derived from increased foreign exchange loss this quarter; and iii) a reduction of Ps.16 million in net income of minority stockholders.

Net income for the period was Ps.323 million, 44% above the Ps.225 million from a year ago.

Outstanding Debt

As of June 30, 2008, TV Azteca's outstanding debt -- excluding Ps.1,232 million debt due 2069 -- was Ps.6,302 million. The cash balance was Ps.2,230 million, which resulted in net debt of Ps.4,072 million.

Debt to last twelve months (LTM) EBITDA ratio was 1.6 times, and net debt to EBITDA was 1 time.

Six Months Results

Net sales in the first six months of the year were Ps.4,292 million, up 4% from the Ps.4,138 million of the same period of 2007. Total costs and expenses were Ps.2,825 million, from Ps.2,651 million in the same period a year ago. As a result, TV Azteca recorded EBITDA of Ps.1,467 million, compared with Ps.1,487 million in the first half of the prior year. The company recorded a majority net loss of Ps.302 million, compared with net income of Ps.409 million in the same period of 2007. This year's loss was due to an extraordinary increase in the deferred income tax of Ps.474 million in the first quarter of 2008 -- due to presales registered in the period -- as well as the creation of a reserve of prior years' Proyecto 40 preoperating expenses of Ps.234 million, also in the first quarter of the year.
