Introduction

In this Annual Report, references to “$,” “US$,” “U.S. dollars,” “Dollars” or “dollars” are to United States Dollars and references to “Ps.,” “Mexican pesos,” “Pesos” or “pesos” are to Mexican Pesos. This Annual Report contains translations of certain Peso amounts into Dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. These translations should not be construed as representations that the Peso amounts actually represent such Dollar amounts or could be converted into Dollars at the rates indicated or at any other rate. In this Annual Report on Form 20-F except as otherwise provided, references to “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” mean Grupo TMM, S.A.B. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and “Grupo TMM” means “Grupo TMM, S.A.B.”

As a result of the promulgation of the new securities law in Mexico in June 2006, public companies were transformed by operation of law into Sociedades Anónimas Bursátiles (Public Issuing Corporation). Accordingly, on December 20, 2006, the Company added “Bursátil” to its registered name to comply with the requirements under Mexico’s new securities law, or Ley del Mercado de Valores. As a result, the Company is known as Grupo TMM, Sociedad Anónima Bursátil, or Grupo TMM, S.A.B.

Presentation of Financial Information

Our financial statements are published in dollars and prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). We maintain our financial books and records in dollars. However, we keep our tax books and records in Pesos. Sums presented in this Annual Report may not add precisely due to rounding.

Actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty.

Average Shares Outstanding

Income per Share is calculated based on the average number of Shares outstanding in each relevant year. The average number of Shares outstanding in each of 2005 and 2006 was 56,963,137, in 2007 was 56,962,041, in 2008 was 56,189,025 and in 2009 was 56,893,794. See Item 4. “Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company” and Item 9. “The Offer and Listing — Share Repurchase Program.”

Dividends

At shareholders’ meetings, shareholders have the ability, at their discretion, to approve dividends from time to time. At the ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on April 24, 1997, the shareholders of our predecessor, Transportación Maritima Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“TMM”), declared a dividend (which has not yet been paid) equivalent to $0.17 per share, subject to our outstanding debt obligations and availability of funds. At the shareholders’ meeting where such dividend was declared, the shareholders delegated to the Board of Directors the authority to determine when the dividend may be paid. No other dividend has been declared since 1997.

Dividends paid that are charged to previously taxed accumulated earnings are not subject to income tax. Dividends paid in excess of the net tax profit account (CUFIN) amounting to $62.4 million ($814.6 million pesos) as of December 31, 2009, are subject to a tax equivalent to 38.89% on payment. The tax is payable by the Company and may be credited against its income tax in the same year or the following two years.

Exchange Rates

We maintain our financial records in Dollars. However, we keep our tax records in Pesos. We record in our financial records the Dollar equivalent of the actual Peso charges for taxes at the time incurred using the prevailing exchange rate. In 2009, approximately 65% of our net consolidated revenues and 35% of our operating costs and expenses were generated or incurred in Dollars. The remainder of our net consolidated revenues and operating expenses were denominated in Pesos.

The following table sets forth the high, low, average and period-end noon buying rates for Pesos reported by Banco de Mexico (the “Noon Buying Rate”) expressed as Pesos per U.S. dollar for the periods indicated below.

Risk Factors

Risks Relating to our Indebtedness

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and impair our ability to operate our business, and we may not be able to pay the interest on and principal amount of our indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2009, Grupo TMM’s total debt amounted to $784.4 million, which includes $679.3 million of our Mexican Peso-Denominated Trust Certificates Program (the “Trust Certificates Program”), $19.9 million under our securitization facility with Deutsche Bank AG (the “Securitization Facility”), and $85.2 million of bank debt owed to several different banks; of this debt, $23.9 million is short-term debt and $760.5 million is long-term debt. As of March 31, 2010, Grupo TMM’s total debt amounted to $826.0 million, which includes $725.9 million of our Trust Certificates Program, $17.7 million under the Securitization Facility and $82.4 million of bank debt owed to several different banks; of this debt, $30.2 million is short-term debt and $795.8 million is long-term debt. Under IFRS, transaction costs in connection with financings are required to be accounted for as debt.

We are a highly leveraged company and our level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:

•		limiting cash flow available for capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital and other general corporate purposes because a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to servicing debt;

•		increasing our vulnerability to a downturn in economic or industry conditions;

•		exposing us to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations because future borrowings may be at interest rates that are higher than current rates, which could result in higher interest expenses;

•		limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, competitive and other changes in our business;

•		placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt and greater operating and financing flexibility than we do;

•		limiting our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interest; and

•		limiting our ability to borrow additional money to fund our working capital and capital expenditures or to refinance our existing indebtedness, or to enable us to fund the acquisitions contemplated in our business plan.

Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend upon future operating performance, including the ability to increase revenues significantly, renew our existing vessel contracts and control expenses. Future operating performance depends upon various factors, including prevailing economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, business and other factors that are beyond our control.

If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness we may default under our various financing facilities. If we default under any such facility, the relevant lender or lenders could then take action to foreclose against any collateral securing the payment of such facility. Substantially all of our shipping assets have been pledged to secure our obligations under our Trust Certificates Program and our various vessel financing facilities. See Item 3. “Key Information — Selected Financial Data.”

Grupo TMM is primarily a holding company and depends upon funds received from its operating subsidiaries to make payments on its indebtedness.

Grupo TMM is primarily a holding company and conducts the majority of its operations, and holds a substantial portion of its operating assets, through numerous direct and indirect subsidiaries. As a result, Grupo TMM relies on income from dividends and fees related to administrative services provided to its operating subsidiaries for its

operating income, including the funds necessary to service its indebtedness. In addition, we have pledged the stock of a subsidiary and sales receivables to secure the repayment of our Securitization Facility.

Under Mexican law, profits of Grupo TMM’s subsidiaries may only be distributed upon approval by such subsidiaries’ shareholders, and no profits may be distributed by its subsidiaries to Grupo TMM until all losses incurred in prior fiscal years have been offset against any sub-account of Grupo TMM’s capital or net worth account. In addition, at least 5% of profits must be separated to create a reserve (fondo de reserva) until such reserve is equal to 20% of the aggregate value of such subsidiary’s capital stock (as calculated based on the actual nominal subscription price received by such subsidiary for all issued shares that are outstanding at the time).

There is no restriction under Mexican law upon Grupo TMM’s subsidiaries remitting funds to it in the form of loans or advances in the ordinary course of business, except to the extent that such loans or advances would result in the insolvency of its subsidiaries, or for its subsidiaries to pay Grupo TMM fees or other amounts for services.

To the extent that Grupo TMM relies on dividends or other distributions from subsidiaries that it does not wholly own, Grupo TMM will only be entitled to a pro rata share of the dividends or other distributions provided by such subsidiaries.

Restrictive covenants in our financing agreements, including the Securitization Facility, the Trust Certificates Program and our ship financings, may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.

Our Securitization Facility and agreements for our ship financings contain a number of restrictive covenants and any additional financing arrangements we enter into may contain additional restrictive covenants. These covenants restrict or prohibit many actions, including our ability, or that of our subsidiaries, to, among others:

•		incur additional indebtedness;

•		create or suffer to exist liens;

•		make certain restricted payments, including the payment of dividends;

•		engage in certain transactions with shareholders and affiliates;

•		use assets as security in other transactions;

•		issue guarantees to third parties; and

•		engage in certain mergers and consolidations or in sale-leaseback transactions.

Our Trust Certificates Program also contains a number of restrictive covenants. These covenants relate solely to the vessels, contracts related to such vessels and the restricted cash under such program. Certificate holders’ only recourse under the Trust Certificate Programs is to the trust assets.

If we fail to comply with these and other restrictive covenants, our obligation to repay our indebtedness may be accelerated. If we cannot pay the amounts due on the Securitization Facility, the Trust Certificates Program or under one or more of our vessel financing facilities, the relevant lender or lenders could then take action to foreclose against any collateral securing the payment of such facility or facilities. Most of our shipping assets have been pledged to secure our obligations under our Trust Certificates Program and various vessel financing facilities.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and May 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under these facilities.

We have to service our peso-denominated debt with revenues generated in dollars, as we do not generate sufficient revenue in pesos from our operations to service all of our peso-denominated debt. This could adversely affect our ability to service our debt in the event of a devaluation or depreciation in the value of the dollar against the Mexican peso.

As of March 31, 2010, approximately 89% of our debt was denominated in pesos. As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not generate sufficient revenue in pesos from our operations to service all of our peso-denominated debt. Consequently, we have to use revenues generated in dollars to service our peso-denominated debt. A devaluation or depreciation in the value of the dollar, compared to the Mexican peso, could adversely affect our ability to service our debt. During 2009, the Mexican peso appreciated approximately 5.3% against the dollar.

Fluctuations in the Mexican peso/dollar exchange rate could lead to shifts in the types and volumes of Mexican imports and exports, negatively impacting results on some of our businesses. Although a decrease in the level of exports may be offset by a subsequent increase in imports, any offsetting increase might not occur on a timely basis, if at all. Future developments in U.S.-Mexican trade beyond our control may result in a reduction of freight volumes or in an unfavorable shift in the mix of products and commodities we carry.

Risks Relating to our Business

Uncertainties relating to our financial condition in our recent past and other factors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and could have resulted in our dissolution under Mexican Corporate Law.

Under Mexican law, when a company has accumulated losses in excess of two-thirds of its capital stock, any third party with legal interest may request the corresponding judicial authorities to declare the dissolution of the company. In our audited report for the periods ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, our independent auditors indicated that a substantial doubt existed as to our continuation as a going concern because we had sustained substantial losses from continuing operations during those periods. For the period ended December 31, 2008, we reported a profit from our continuing operations.

Although Grupo TMM improved its operating income in 2005, 2006 and 2008, it incurred a net loss in 2006, 2007 and 2009. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate sufficient profits and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate such profits or obtain such funding.

If our time charter arrangements are terminated or expire, our business could be adversely affected.

As of December 31, 2009, we had three product tanker vessels on bareboat charter and one vessel on time charter to PEMEX Refinación (“PER”), and 25 offshore vessels on time charter to Pemex Exploración y Producción (“PEP”). PER and PEP are subsidiaries of Petroleos Mexicanos, the national oil company of Mexico (“PEMEX”). In addition, in 2009 we entered into five offshore vessel chartering agreements with private operators with time periods ranging from one to two years. In the event that our time charter arrangements are terminated or expire without being renewed, we will be required to seek new bareboat or time charter arrangements for these vessels. We cannot be sure that bareboat or time charters will be available for the vessels following termination or expiration, or that bareboat or time charter rates in effect at the time of such termination or expiration will be comparable to those in effect under the existing time charters or in the present market. In the event that bareboat or time charters are not available on terms acceptable to us, we may use those vessels in the spot market. Because charter rates in the spot market are subject to greater fluctuation than longer term bareboat or time charter rates, any failure to maintain existing, or enter into comparable, charter arrangements could adversely affect our operating results.

Our results from operations are dependent on fuel expenses.

Our logistics and parcel tanker operations consume significant amounts of energy and fuel, the cost of which has significantly increased worldwide in recent years. With respect to our other operations our customers pay for the fuel consumption. We currently meet, and expect to continue to meet, our fuel requirements almost exclusively

through purchases at market prices from PEMEX, a government-owned entity exclusively responsible for the distribution and sale of diesel fuel, maritime diesel oil and bunker fuel in Mexico. The price of diesel fuel used by our trucks is established by the Mexican Government based on domestic policies and does not necessarily reflect the increase of prices in international markets; however, if we are unable to acquire diesel fuel from PEMEX on acceptable terms, our operations could be adversely affected. In addition, instability caused by imbalances in the worldwide supply and demand of oil may result in continuing increases in fuel prices. Our fuel expense represents a significant portion of our operating expenses in our logistics and parcel tanker operations, and there may be increases in the price of fuel that cannot be hedged or transferred to the final user of our transportation services. We cannot assure you that our operations would not be materially adversely affected in the future if prevailing conditions remain for a long period of time or if energy and fuel costs continue to increase.

Downturns in the U.S. economy or in trade between the United States and Mexico would likely have adverse effects on our business and results of operations.

The level and timing of our business activity is heavily dependent upon the level of U.S.-Mexican trade and the effects of NAFTA on such trade. Downturns in the U.S. or Mexican economy or in trade between the United States and Mexico would likely have adverse effects on our business and results of operations. Our logistics business and the transportation of products traded between Mexico and the United States depend on the U.S. and Mexican markets for these products, the relative position of Mexico and the United States in these markets at any given time and tariffs or other barriers to trade. The present financial and economic downturn in the international markets has negatively affected our volumes and as a consequence is negatively affecting our results of operations and our ability to meet our debt service obligations as described above.

We may be unable to successfully expand our business.

Future growth of our businesses will depend on a number of factors, including:

•		the continued identification, evaluation and participation in niche markets;

•		the identification of joint venture opportunities or acquisition candidates;

•		our ability to enter into acquisitions on favorable terms;

•		our ability to finance any expansion of our business;

•		our ability to hire and train qualified personnel, and to maintain our existing managerial base;

•		the successful integration of any acquired businesses with our existing operations; and

•		our ability to manage expansion effectively and to obtain required financing.

In order to maintain and improve operating results from new businesses, as well as our existing businesses, we will be required to manage our growth and expansion effectively. However, the management of new businesses involves numerous risks, including difficulties in assimilating the operations and services of the new businesses, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns and the disadvantage of entering markets in which we may have no or limited direct or prior experience. Our failure to effectively manage our business could preclude our ability to expand our business and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Significant competition could adversely affect our future financial performance.

Certain of our business segments face significant competition, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our international parcel tanker transportation services, our coastwise product tanker business, and our offshore vessel services rendered in the Gulf of Mexico have faced significant competition, mainly from U.S., Mexican and other international shipping companies acting directly or through a Mexican intermediary.

In our logistics operations division, our trucking transport and automotive logistics services have faced intense competition, including price competition, from a large number of U.S., Mexican, and other international trucking lines and logistics companies. We cannot assure you that we will not lose business in the future due to our inability to respond to competitive pressures by decreasing our prices without adversely affecting our gross margins and operational results.

Downturns in certain cyclical industries in which our customers operate could have adverse effects on our results of operations.

The shipping, transportation and logistics industries are highly cyclical, generally tracking the cycles of the world economy. Although transportation markets are affected by general economic conditions, there are numerous specific factors within each particular market segment that may influence operating results. Some of our customers do business in industries that are highly cyclical, including the oil and gas and automotive sectors. Any downturn in these sectors could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Also, some of the products we transport have had a historical pattern of price cyclicality, which has typically been influenced by the general economic environment and by industry capacity and demand. We cannot assure you that prices and demand for these products will not decline in the future, adversely affecting those industries and, in turn, our financial results.

Grupo TMM is a party to a number of arrangements with other parties as joint investors in non-wholly owned subsidiaries.

Grupo TMM is a party to a number of arrangements with other parties under which it and such parties have jointly invested in non-wholly owned subsidiaries, and Grupo TMM may enter into other similar arrangements in the future. Grupo TMM’s partners in these non-wholly owned subsidiaries may at any time have economic, business or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with our interests or those of the entity in which they have invested with us. Furthermore, any dividends that are distributed from subsidiaries that Grupo TMM does not wholly own would be shared pro rata with its partners according to their relative ownership interests. For these or any other reasons, disagreements or disputes with partners with whom Grupo TMM has a strategic alliance or relationship could impair or adversely affect its ability to conduct its business and to receive distributions from, and return on its investments in, those subsidiaries.

Over time, vessel values may fluctuate substantially and, if these values are lower at a time when we are attempting to dispose of a vessel, we may incur a loss.

Vessel values can fluctuate substantially over time due to a number of different factors, including:

•		prevailing economic conditions in the market;

•		a substantial or extended decline in world trade;

•		increases in the supply of vessel capacity;

•		prevailing charter rates; and

•		the cost of retrofitting or modifying existing ships, as a result of technological advances in vessel design or equipment, changes in applicable environmental or other regulations or standards, or otherwise.

In the future, if the market values of our vessels deteriorate significantly, we may be required to record an impairment charge in our financial statements, which could adversely affect our results of operations. If a charter terminates, we may be unable to re-charter the vessel at an acceptable rate and, rather than continue to incur costs to maintain and finance the vessel, may seek to dispose of it. Our inability to dispose of the vessels at a reasonable price could result in a loss on its sale and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our growth depends upon continued growth and demand for the liquid bulk and offshore vessel industries which may have been at or near the peak of their upward trend and charter hire rates have already been at or near historical highs. These factors may lead to reductions and volatility in charter hire rates and profitability.

The liquid bulk and offshore vessel industries are both cyclical and volatile in terms of charter hire rates and profitability. In the future, charter rates and demand for our vessels may fluctuate as a result of changes in the size of and geographic location of supply and demand for oil and related products, as well as changes in maritime regulations. These and other factors affecting the supply and demand for liquid bulk, offshore and vessels in general are outside of our control, and the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions are unpredictable.

The factors that influence demand for our vessels’ capacity include:

•		supply and demand for products suitable for shipping by our vessels;

•		changes in global production of products transported by our vessels;

•		the distance cargo products are to be moved by sea;

•		the globalization of manufacturing;

•		global and regional economic and political conditions;

•		changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, including changes in the distances over which cargoes are transported;

•		environmental and other regulatory developments;

•		currency exchange rates; and

•		weather.

		The factors that influence the supply of our vessels’ capacity include:

•		the number of newbuilding deliveries;

•		the scrapping rate of older vessels similar to our vessels;

•		the price of steel and other raw materials;

•		changes in environmental and other regulations that may limit the useful life of vessels;

•		the number of vessels that are out of service; and

•		port congestion.

Our ability to re-charter our vessels upon the expiration or termination of their current charters and the charter rates payable under any renewal or replacement charters will depend upon, among other things, the prevailing state of the charter market for our vessels. If the charter market is depressed when our vessels’ charters expire, we may be forced to re-charter our vessels at reduced rates or even possibly a rate whereby we incur a loss, which may reduce our earnings or make our earnings volatile. The same issues will exist if we acquire additional vessels and attempt to obtain multi-year time charter arrangements as part of our acquisition and financing plan.

Our growth depends on our ability to expand relationships with existing charterers and to obtain new charterers, for which we will face substantial competition.

One of our principal objectives is to acquire additional vessels in conjunction with entering into additional multi-year, fixed-rate time charters for these ships. The process of obtaining new multi-year time charters is highly competitive and generally involves an intensive screening process and competitive bids, and often extends for several months. Shipping charters are awarded based upon a variety of factors relating to the vessel operator, including:

•		shipping industry relationships and reputation for customer service and safety;

•		shipping experience and quality of ship operations (including cost effectiveness);

•		quality and experience of seafaring crew;

•		the ability to finance vessels at competitive rates and financial stability in general;

•		relationships with shipyards and the ability to get suitable berths;

•		relationships with ship owners and the ability to obtain suitable second-hand vessels;

•		construction management experience, including the ability to obtain on-time delivery of new ships according to customer specifications;

•		willingness to accept operational risks pursuant to the charter, such as allowing termination of the charter for force majeure events, among others; and

•		competitiveness of the bid in terms of overall price.

We expect substantial competition from a number of experienced companies, including state-sponsored entities and major shipping companies. Some of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we do, and can therefore operate larger fleets and may be able to offer better charter rates. This competition may cause greater price competition for time charters. As a result of these factors, we may be unable to expand our relationships with existing customers or to obtain new customers on a profitable basis, if at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

The aging of our fleet may result in increased operating costs in the future, which could adversely affect our earnings.

In general, the cost of maintaining a vessel in good operating condition increases with the age of the vessel. As our fleet ages, we will incur increased costs. Older vessels are typically less fuel efficient and more costly to maintain than more recently constructed vessels. Cargo insurance rates also increase with the age of a vessel, making older vessels less desirable to charterers. Governmental regulations and safety or other equipment standards related to the age of a vessel may also require expenditures for alterations or the addition of new equipment to our vessels and may restrict the type of activities in which our vessels may engage. Although our current fleet of 46 vessels had an average age of approximately 11.8 years as of April 30, 2010, we cannot assure you that, as our vessels age, market conditions will justify such expenditures or will enable us to profitably operate our vessels during the remainder of their expected useful lives.

Our results of operations may be adversely affected by operational risks inherent in the transportation and logistics industry.

The operation of vessels, trucks and other machinery relating to the shipping and cargo business involves an inherent risk of catastrophic marine or land disaster, mechanical failure, collisions, property losses to vessels or

trucks, piracy, cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to political actions in Mexico and in foreign countries. In addition, the operation of any harbor and seagoing vessel is subject to the inherent possibility of catastrophic marine disasters, including oil spills and other environmental accidents, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade. Any such event may result in a reduction of revenues or increased costs. The Company’s vessels and trucking equipment are insured for their estimated value against damage or loss, including war, terrorism acts, and pollution risks and we also carry other insurance customary in the industry.

We maintain insurance to cover the risk of partial or total loss of or damage to all of our assets, including, but not limited to, harbor and seagoing vessels, port facilities, port equipment, trucks, land facilities and offices. In particular, we maintain marine hull and machinery and war risk insurance on our vessels, which covers the risk of actual or constructive total loss. Additionally, we have protection and indemnity insurance for damage caused by our operations to third persons. With certain exceptions, we do not carry insurance covering the loss of revenue resulting from a downturn in our operations or resulting from vessel off-hire time on certain vessels. In certain instances, and depending on the ratio of insurance claims to insurance premiums paid, we may choose to self-insure our over-the-road equipment following prudent guidelines. We cannot assure you that our insurance would be sufficient to cover the cost of damages suffered by us or damages to others, that any particular claim will be paid or that such insurance will continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates in the future.

Additionally, some shipping and related activities decrease substantially during periods of bad weather. Such adverse weather conditions can adversely affect our results of operations and profitability if they occur with unusual intensity, during abnormal periods, or last longer than usual in our major markets, especially during peak shipping periods.

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental and safety laws and regulations and we may incur costs that have a material adverse effect on our financial condition as a result of our liabilities under or potential violations of environmental and safety laws and regulations.

Our operations are subject to general Mexican federal and state laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente (Mexican Attorney General for Environmental Protection) is empowered to bring administrative and criminal proceedings and impose corrective actions and economic sanctions against companies that violate environmental laws, and temporarily or permanently close non-complying facilities. The Secretaría del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (Mexican Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources) (“SEMARNAT”) and other ministries have promulgated compliance standards for, among other things, water discharge, water supply, air emissions, noise pollution, hazardous substances transportation and handling, and hazardous and solid waste generation. Under the environmental laws, the Mexican Government has implemented a program to protect the environment by promulgating rules concerning water, land, air and noise discharges or pollution, and the transportation and handling of wastes and hazardous substances.

We are also subject to the laws of various jurisdictions and international conferences with respect to the discharge of hazardous materials, wastes and pollutants into the environment.

While we maintain insurance against certain of these environmental risks in an amount which we believe is consistent with amounts customarily obtained in accordance with industry norms, we cannot assure you that our insurance will be sufficient to cover damages suffered by us or that insurance coverage will always be available for these possible damages. Furthermore, such insurance typically excludes coverage for fines and penalties that may be levied for non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

We anticipate that the regulation of our business operations under federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations will increase and become more stringent over time. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that the adoption of additional or more stringent environmental laws and regulations would have on our results of operations, cash flows, capital expenditure requirements or financial condition.

Our international parcel tanker transportation services rendered in the Gulf of Mexico and our coastwise product tanker business rendered in both the Gulf of Mexico and in the Pacific Ocean provide services to transport

petrochemical products and refined clean and dirty petroleum products, respectively. See Item 4. “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Maritime Operations.” Under the United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA” or “OPA 90”), responsible parties, including ship owners and operators, are subject to various requirements and could be exposed to substantial liability, and in some cases unlimited liability, for removal costs and damages, including natural resource damages and a variety of other public and private damages, resulting from the discharge of oil, petroleum or related substances into the waters of the United States. In some jurisdictions, including the United States, claims for spill clean-up or removal costs and damages would enable claimants to immediately seize the ships of the owning and operating company and sell them in satisfaction of a final judgment. The existence of comparable statutes enacted by individual states of the United States, but requiring different measures of compliance and liability, creates the potential for similar claims being brought in the United States under state law. In addition, several other countries have adopted international conventions that impose liability for the discharge of pollutants similar to OPA. If a spill were to occur in the course of operation of one of our vessels carrying petroleum products, and such spill affected the waters of the United States or another country that had enacted legislation similar to OPA, we could be exposed to substantial or unlimited liability. Additionally, our vessels carry bunkers (ship fuel) and certain goods that, if spilled, under certain conditions, could cause pollution and result in substantial claims against us, including claims under international laws and conventions, OPA and other U.S. federal, state and local laws. Further, under OPA and similar international laws and conventions, we are required to satisfy insurance and financial responsibility requirements for potential oil spills and other pollution incidents. Penalties for failure to maintain the financial responsibility requirements can be significant and can include the seizure of the vessel.

Our vessels must also meet stringent operational, maintenance and structural requirements, and they are subject to rigorous inspections by governmental authorities such as the U.S. Coast Guard for those vessels, which operate within U.S. territorial waters. Non-compliance with these regulations could give rise to substantial fines and penalties.

We could have liability with respect to contamination at our former U.S. facilities or third-party facilities in the United States where we have sent hazardous substances or wastes under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) and comparable state laws (known as state Superfund laws). CERCLA and the state Superfund laws impose joint and several liability for the cost of investigation and remediation, natural resources damages, certain health studies and related costs, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release into the environment of certain substances. These persons, commonly called “potentially responsible parties” or “PRPs” include the current and certain prior owners or operators of and persons that arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at sites where a release has occurred or could occur. In addition, other potentially responsible parties, adjacent landowners or other third parties may initiate cost recovery actions or toxic tort litigation against PRPs under CERCLA or state Superfund law or state common law.

The U.S. Clean Water Act imposes restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of wastes into the waters of the United States. The Clean Water Act and comparable state laws provide for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for unauthorized discharges of pollutants. In the event of an unauthorized discharge of wastes or pollutants into waters of the United States, we may be liable for penalties and could be subject to injunctive relief.

Potential labor disruptions could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to meet our obligations under our financing arrangements.

As of March 31, 2010, we had 5,882 employees, approximately 76% of whom were unionized. The compensation terms of the labor agreement with these employees are subject to renegotiation on an annual basis and all other terms are renegotiated every two years. If we are not able to negotiate these provisions favorably, strikes, boycotts or other disruptions could occur, and these potential disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and on our ability to meet our payment obligations under our financing arrangements.

Continuing world tensions, including as the result of wars, other armed conflicts and terrorist attacks could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Continuing world tensions, including those relating to the Middle East and North Korea, as well as terrorist attacks in various locations and related unrest, have increased worldwide political and economic instability and depressed economic activity in the United States and globally, including the Mexican economy. The continuation or escalation of existing armed hostilities or the outbreak of additional hostilities as a consequence of further acts of terrorism or otherwise could cause a further downturn and/or significant disruption to the economies of the United States, Mexico and other countries. The continued threat of terrorism within the United States and abroad and the potential for military action and heightened security measures in response to such threat may cause significant disruption to commerce throughout the world, including restrictions on cross-border transport and trade.

Our customers may take actions that may reduce our revenues.

If our customers believe that our financial condition will result in a lower quality of service, they may discontinue use of our services. Additionally, some customers may demand lower prices. While we have contracts with some of our customers that prevent them from terminating our services or which impose penalties on customers who terminate our services, it may be impractical or uneconomical to enforce these agreements in Mexican courts. If any of these events occurs, our revenues will be reduced.

Our financial statements may not give you the same information as financial statements prepared under United States accounting rules.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP including, among others, the classification of minority interest and employees’ profit sharing, the accounting treatment for capitalized interest, consolidation of subsidiaries, and acquisition of shares of subsidiaries from minority stockholders and the computation of deferred taxes. For this and other reasons, the presentation of financial statements and reported earnings prepared in accordance with IFRS may differ materially from the presentation of financial statements and reported earnings prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Risks Relating to Mexico

Economic, political and social conditions may adversely affect our business.

Our financial performance may be significantly affected by general economic, political and social conditions in the markets where we operate. Most of our operations and assets are located in Mexico. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and business may be affected by the general condition of the Mexican economy, the devaluation of the Peso as compared to the U.S. Dollar, Mexican inflation, interest rates, regulation, taxation, social instability and political, social and economic developments in Mexico. Many countries in Latin America, including Mexico, have suffered significant economic, political and social crises in the past, and these events may occur again in the future. Instability in the region has been caused by many different factors, including:

•		significant governmental influence over local economies;

•		substantial fluctuations in economic growth;

•		high levels of inflation;

•		changes in currency values;

•		exchange controls or restrictions on expatriation of earnings;

•		high domestic interest rates;

•		wage and price controls;

•		changes in governmental economic or tax policies;

•		imposition of trade barriers;

•		unexpected changes in regulation; and

•		overall political, social and economic instability.

Mexico is an emerging market economy, with attendant risks to our results of operations and financial condition.

Mexico has historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth. Mexico’s gross domestic product (“GDP”) increased 2.8%, 4.8%, 3.3% and 1.3% in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively and decreased by 6.5% in 2009. GDP growth was slightly higher than the Mexico Consensus Board⁽¹⁾estimated for 2009; however, the Mexico Consensus Board estimates that GDP in Mexico is expected to fall by approximately 7.4% in 2010, while inflation is expected to be less than 4.5%. We cannot assure you that these estimates will prove to be accurate. The Mexican Government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Mexican economy. Accordingly, Mexican governmental actions concerning the economy and state-owned enterprises could have a significant impact on Mexican private sector entities in general and on us in particular, as well as on market conditions, prices and returns on Mexican securities, including our securities.

Currency fluctuations or the devaluation and depreciation of the Peso could limit the ability of the Company and others to convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars or other currencies which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Severe devaluation or depreciation of the Peso may also result in governmental intervention, as has resulted in Argentina, or disruption of international foreign exchange markets. This may limit our ability to transfer or convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars and other currencies for the purpose of making timely payments of interest and principal on our dollar denominated indebtedness and adversely affect our ability to obtain foreign currency and other imported goods. The Mexican economy has suffered current account balance of payment deficits and shortages of foreign exchange reserves in the past. While the Mexican Government does not currently restrict, and for more than ten years has not restricted, the right or ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities to convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars or to transfer other currencies outside of Mexico, the Mexican Government could institute restrictive exchange control policies in the future. To the extent that the Mexican Government institutes restrictive exchange control policies in the future, our ability to transfer or convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars for the purpose of making timely payments of interest and principal on indebtedness would be adversely affected. Devaluation or depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar may also adversely affect U.S. Dollar prices for our debt securities.

Pursuant to the provisions of NAFTA, if Mexico experiences serious balance of payment difficulties or the threat thereof in the future, Mexico would have the right to impose foreign exchange controls on investments made in Mexico, including those made by U.S. and Canadian investors. Any restrictive exchange control policy could adversely affect our ability to obtain U.S. Dollars or to convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars for purposes of making interest and principal payments to our creditors to the extent that we may have to make those conversions. This could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

High interest rates in Mexico could increase our financing costs.

Mexico historically has had, and may continue to have, high real and nominal interest rates. The interest rates on 28-day Mexican government treasury securities averaged 9.20%, 7.19%, 7.43%, 7.69% and 5.43% in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively, and for the five-month period ended May 31, 2010, it averaged 4.72%.

A total of $679.3 million of our debt represented by our Trust Certificates Program was incurred in Mexican Pesos at the Mexican interbank rate, TIIE, plus 2.25% for the first tranche, 1.95% for the second, and 2.19% for the third. The Company has hedged the risk of the three tranches at a maximum rate of 11.5% for the next three years.


⁽¹⁾		The Mexico Consensus Board is formed by six internationally recognized firms (American Chamber Mexico, Banamex, UTEP Border Region, Wells Fargo, Center for Economic Forecasting and Latin Source Mexico).

As of December 31, 2009, the 28-dayTIIE rate was 4.9150%, as of March 31, 2010 the rate was 4.9150%, and as of May 31, 2010 such rate was 4.9650%. As of June 23, 2010, the rate was 4.9341%. The variable rate portion of the debt under the three tranches of the Trust Certificates Program, which totals approximately $679.0 million ($8.8572 billion pesos), has an interest rate cap of 11.50% per annum.

Developments in other emerging market countries or in the United States may affect us and the prices of our securities.

The market value of securities of Mexican companies, the economic and political situation in Mexico and our financial condition and results of operations are, to varying degrees, affected by economic and market conditions in other emerging market countries and in the United States. Although economic conditions in other emerging market countries and in the United States may differ significantly from economic conditions in Mexico, investors’ reactions to developments in any of these other countries may have an adverse effect on the market value or trading price of securities of Mexican issuers, including our securities, or on our business.

Our operations, including demand for our products or services and the price of our floating rate debt, have also historically been adversely affected by increases in interest rates in the United States and elsewhere. Particularly, U.S. interest rates reached their highest levels for the past three years during 2007. Although the Federal Reserve Bank implemented “measured” decreases in 2008, and interest rates have remained low due to the global economic crisis, as interest rates rise, the interest payments on our floating rate debt and the cost of refinancing our financing arrangements at maturity will rise as well.

Mexico may experience high levels of inflation in the future, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Mexico has a history of high levels of inflation, and may experience inflation in the future. During most of the 1980s and during the mid- and late 1990s, Mexico experienced periods of high levels of inflation. The annual inflation rates for the last five years, as measured by changes in the National Consumer Price Index, as provided by Banco de México, were:


2005	3.33	%
2006	4.05	%
2007	3.76	%
2008	6.53	%
2009	3.57	%
2010 (five months ended May 31)	1.42	%

Mexico’s current level of inflation has been reported at higher levels than the annual inflation rate of the United States and Canada. The United States and Canada are Mexico’s main trading partners. We cannot give any assurance that the Mexican inflation rate will decrease, increase or maintain its current level for any significant period of time. A substantial increase in the Mexican inflation rate as currently in effect would have the effect of increasing some of our costs, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, as well as our ability to service our debt obligations. High levels of inflation may also affect the balance of trade between Mexico and the United States, and other countries, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Political events in Mexico could affect Mexican economic policy and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although as of April 2010 Mexico’s daily production statistics indicate there has been no change compared to 2009, production has fallen by more than 500,000 barrels per day compared to 2007 levels and could fall by another 50% in the coming years. Currently 40% of the total amount of gasoline used for Mexico’s domestic consumption is imported. Specialists have concluded that if investments are not made to further PEMEX’s technological capabilities, its oil production could decline considerably, which could weaken the financial position of the Mexican Government.

Multi-party rule is still relatively new in Mexico and could result in economic or political conditions that could have a negative impact on the Mexican economy that would materially and adversely affect our operations. Finally, the Mexican economy in the past has suffered balance of payment deficits and shortages in foreign exchange reserves, and we cannot assure you that these deficits and shortages will not occur in the future.

Mexican antitrust laws may limit our ability to expand through acquisitions or joint ventures.

Mexico’s federal antitrust laws and regulations may affect some of our activities, including our ability to introduce new products and services, enter into new or complementary businesses or joint ventures and complete acquisitions. In addition, the federal antitrust laws and regulations may adversely affect our ability to determine the rates we charge for our services and products. Approval of the Comisión Federal de Competencia, or Mexican Antitrust Commission, is required for us to acquire and sell significant businesses or enter into significant joint ventures and we cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain such approval.

Investors may not be able to enforce judgments against the Company.

Investors may be unable to enforce judgments against us. We are a stock corporation, organized under the laws of Mexico. Substantially all our directors and officers reside in Mexico, and all or a significant portion of the assets of those persons may be located outside the United States. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon those persons or to enforce judgments against them or against us in U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Additionally, it may not be possible to enforce, in original actions in Mexican courts, liabilities predicated solely on the U.S. federal securities laws and it may not be possible to enforce, in Mexican courts, judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws.

Risks Relating to Ownership of our Equity

The protection afforded to minority shareholders in Mexico is different from that afforded to minority shareholders in the United States.

Under Mexican law, the protections afforded to minority shareholders are different from, and may be less than, those afforded to minority shareholders in the United States. Under Mexican law, there is no procedure for class actions as such actions are conducted in the United States and there are different procedural requirements for bringing shareholder lawsuits against companies. Therefore, it may be more difficult for minority shareholders to enforce their rights against us, our directors or our controlling shareholders than it would be for minority shareholders of a U.S. company.

The Company is controlled by the Serrano Segovia family.

Members of the Serrano Segovia family control the Company through their direct and indirect ownership of our Shares. Holders of our ADSs may not vote at our shareholders’ meetings. Each of our ADSs represents five CPOs. Holders of CPOs are not entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares held in the CPO Trust. Such voting rights are exercisable only by the trustee, which is required by the terms of the trust agreement to vote such Shares in the same manner as the majority of the Shares that are not held in the CPO Trust that are voted at any shareholders’ meeting. Currently the Serrano Segovia family owns a majority of the Shares that are not held in the CPO Trust. As a result, the Serrano Segovia family will be able to direct and control the policies of the Company and its subsidiaries, including mergers, sales of assets and similar transactions. See Item 7. “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders.”

A change in control may adversely affect us.

A portion of the Shares and ADSs of the Company held by the Serrano Segovia family is currently pledged to secure indebtedness of the Serrano Segovia family and entities controlled by them and may from time to time in the future be pledged to secure obligations of other of their affiliates. A foreclosure upon any such Shares held by the Serrano Segovia family could result in a change of control under the various debt instruments of the Company and

its subsidiaries. Such debt instruments provide that certain change of control events with respect to us will constitute a default and that the relevant lenders may require us to prepay our debt obligations including accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such repayment. If such a default occurs, we cannot assure you that we will have enough funds to repay our debt.

Holders of ADSs may not be entitled to participate in any future preemptive rights offering, which may result in a dilution of such holders equity interest in our company.

Under Mexican law, if we issue new shares for cash as a part of a capital increase, we generally must grant our stockholders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage in our company. Rights to purchase shares in these circumstances are commonly referred to as preemptive rights. We may not be legally permitted to allow holders of ADSs in the United States to exercise preemptive rights in any future capital increase unless (1) we file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to that future issuance of shares or (2) the offering qualifies for an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At the time of any future capital increase, we will evaluate the costs and potential liabilities associated with filing a registration statement with the SEC, as well as the benefits of preemptive rights to holders of ADSs in the United States and any other factors that we consider important in determining whether to file a registration statement.

If we do not file a registration statement with the SEC to allow holders of ADSs in the United States to participate in a preemptive rights offering or if there is not an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 available, the equity interests of holders of ADSs would be diluted to the extent that ADS holders cannot participate in a preemptive rights offering.

If we cannot meet the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) continued listing requirements, the NYSE may delist our ADSs.

Our ADSs are currently listed on the NYSE. The NYSE requires us to maintain an average closing price of our ADSs of $1.00 or higher over 30 consecutive trading days. On October 17, 2008, we received notice from the NYSE that the price of our ADSs was below listing requirements. As of such date, we had a six-month period to cure this deficiency so we could remain listed on the NYSE. On February 26, 2009, however, the NYSE temporarily suspended the application of its continued listing criteria relating to a minimum average trading price of $1.00 until June 30, 2009 and later extended the period of the suspension until July 31, 2009. Companies trading below the $1.00 minimum price criteria that did not regain compliance during the suspension period recommenced their compliance period upon reinstitution of the stock price continued listing standard. In order to comply with this NYSE listing standard, on August 24, 2009 we changed our ADS ratio from one ADS for every one CPO to one ADS for every five CPOs. For our ADS holders, the ratio change had the same effect as a one-for-five reverse stock split and thereby increased the listing price of our ADSs. As of the close of business on June 18, 2010, the closing price of our ADSs was $2.50.

We are currently in compliance with the NYSE criteria for continued listing. However, if we are unable to maintain compliance with the NYSE criteria for continued listing, our ADSs would be subject to delisting. A delisting of our ADSs could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our ADSs; reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our ADSs, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; decreasing the amount of news and analyst coverage for the Company; and limiting our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

History and Development of the Company

We were formed on August 14, 1987, under the laws of Mexico as a variable capital corporation (sociedad anonima de capital variable) to serve as a holding company for investments by certain members of the Serrano Segovia family.

TMM merged with and into Grupo TMM (formerly Grupo Servia, S.A. de C.V. (“Grupo Servia”)), which was effected on December 26, 2001, leaving Grupo TMM as the surviving entity. Under the terms of the merger, all of the assets, privileges and rights and all of the liabilities of TMM were transferred to Grupo TMM upon the effectiveness of the merger. TMM was founded on September 18, 1958 by a group of private investors, including the Serrano Segovia family.

In December 2001, the boards of directors of TMM and Grupo TMM unanimously approved a corporate reorganization and merger in which TMM was merged with and into Grupo TMM. After the merger, each shareholder of TMM continued to own the same relative economic interest in Grupo TMM as the shareholder owned in TMM prior to the merger. In preparation for the merger, the shareholders of Grupo TMM approved the division (escisión) of Grupo TMM into two companies, Grupo TMM and a newly formed corporation, Promotora Servia, S.A. de C.V. (“Promotora Servia”). Under the terms of the escisión, Grupo TMM transferred all of its assets, rights and privileges (other than its interest in TMM) and all of its liabilities to Promotora Servia. The transfer of assets to Promotora Servia was made without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind, and all of Grupo TMM’s creditors expressly and irrevocably consented to the transfer of the liabilities to Promotora Servia.

On September 13, 2002, we completed a reclassification of our Series L Shares of stock as Series A Shares. The reclassification combined our two classes of stock into a single class by converting each share of our Series L Shares into one share of our Series A Shares. The reclassification also eliminated the variable portion of our capital stock and we became a fixed capital corporation (sociedad anonima). Following the reclassification, we had 56,963,137 Shares outstanding. As a result of the elimination of the variable portion of our capital stock, our registered name changed from Grupo TMM, S.A. de C.V. to Grupo TMM, S.A.

As a result of the securities law in Mexico promulgated in June 2006, publicly traded companies in Mexico were transformed by operation of law into Sociedades Anónimas Bursátiles (Public Issuing Corporation) and were required to amend their by laws to conform them to the provisions of the new law. Accordingly, on December 20, 2006 the Company added the term “Bursátil” to its registered name to comply with the requirements under Mexico’s new securities law, or Ley del Mercado de Valores. As a result, the Company is known as Grupo TMM, Sociedad Anónima Bursátil, or Grupo TMM, S.A.B. In addition, the Series A Shares of the Company were renamed as nominative common shares without par value (“Shares”). The rights afforded by the new Shares are identical to the rights afforded by the former Series A Shares.

Today, we are a fixed capital corporation listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores) incorporated under the Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles for a term of 99 years. We are headquartered at Avenida de la Cúspide, No. 4755, Colonia Parques del Pedregal, 14010 México City, D.F., México, and our telephone number is +52-55-5629-8866. Our agent for service of process in the United States is CT Corporation, located at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011 and its telephone number is (212) 894-8700. Grupo TMM’s Internet website address is www.grupotmm.com. The information on Grupo TMM’s website is not incorporated into this Annual Report.

Recent Developments

Mexican Peso-Denominated Trust Certificates Program

On April 30, 2007, at the shareholders’ meeting of the Company, our shareholders authorized the establishment of a program for the issuance of trust certificates, which are securities secured solely by the trust assets and denominated in Mexican Pesos, for up to an amount of nine billion Pesos. The proceeds from the sale of these certificates were utilized by us to refinance our existing bank financings of our vessel fleet and to acquire additional vessels as contemplated by our expansion program. A portion of the cash proceeds from the issuance of the trust certificates is required to be held by the trust as restricted cash. The trust assets are comprised of the vessels contributed to the trust, the contracts related thereto and the restricted cash thereunder. Certificate holders’ only recourse under the Trust Certificates Program is to the trust assets.

We closed our first, second, and third issuances of trust certificates under the program on July 19, 2007, April 30, 2008, and July 1, 2008 in an amount of 3 billion Pesos, 1.55 billion Pesos, and 4.39 billion Pesos, respectively. Our first issuance was used primarily to refinance existing vessel indebtedness. Our second issuance was used to finance the acquisition of five new and used vessels, and the third issuance is being used to finance the acquisition of new and used vessels.

Purchase of Two Tugboats

On February 12, 2007, we entered into an agreement for the purchase of two newbuilding tugboats with Med Yilmaz Shipyard in Turkey for an aggregate purchase price of $14 million. In January 2008 we entered into a line of credit with Natixis to finance 85% of the total purchase price for the acquisition of these tugboats. On March 20, 2008 both vessels commenced operations in our tugboat services division in the Port of Manzanillo, Mexico.

Vessels Purchased through our Trust Certificates Program

PSV Isla Monserrat. On October 27, 2007, we entered into an agreement for the purchase from DESS PSV Ltd of a Platform Supply Vessel (“PSV”) Isla Monserrat (which was built in 2007 and has an average Brake Horse Power (“BHP”) of 5,400). This PSV was delivered to Grupo TMM in January 2008 and is currently operating in the Gulf of Mexico. The purchase of this vessel was financed by the second tranche of our Trust Certificates Program.

AHTS Isla Leon (ex Sea Wolverine). On April 3, 2008, we entered into an agreement for the purchase from DESS Ciprus Ltd of an Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel (“AHTS”) Sea Wolverine (which was built in 2008 and has an average BHP of 6,500). This AHTS was delivered in June 2008. We added this AHTS to our offshore fleet in the Gulf of Mexico. The purchase of this vessel was financed by the second tranche of our Trust Certificates Program.

Two AHTSs. On April 3, 2007, we entered into an agreement for the purchase from Rising Flag Worldwide Ltd of two new AHTSs (with a BHP of 6,800). The first AHTS (Isla Santa Cruz) was delivered on August 15, 2008. We were forced to cancel the second AHTS due to a delay of the delivery by the shipyard. The Isla Santa Cruz was added to our offshore fleet in the Gulf of Mexico. The purchase of this vessel was financed by the second tranche of our Trust Certificates Program.

Three Mini PSVs. Isla Blanca, Isla Ciari and Isla Janitzio. On March 7, 2007, we entered into an agreement for the purchase from Adriatic Marine LLC of three mini PSVs. These mini PSVs were delivered in July 2008, November 2008 and January 2009, respectively. We added these vessels to our offshore fleet in the Gulf of Mexico. The purchase of one of the vessels was financed by the second tranche of the Trust Certificates Program and the purchase of the other two vessels was financed through the third tranche of our Trust Certificates Program.

Two FSIV. Isla San Gabriel and Isla San Luis. On November 21, 2007, we entered into an agreement for the construction by Horizon Shipbuilding of two Fast Support Intervention Vessels (“FSIV”). These FSIV were delivered in August and October 2009, respectively. We added these vessels to our offshore fleet in the Gulf of Mexico. The acquisition of these vessels was financed through the third tranche of our Trust Certificates Program.

FPSO Vessel ECO III. On July 21, 2008, we acquired a newly constructed 10,000 Dead Weight Tonnage (“DWT”) tanker vessel that was converted into a well test service vessel receiving an FPSO “Floating Production Storage and Offloading System” class notation. This vessel is equipped with a Dynamic Positioning System (DP2) that allows the vessel to position itself near the oil well platforms and with the installed processing plant can receive, store and process fluids and gases during the completion, testing, and repair of oil wells. Today this vessel is part of our offshore fleet in the Gulf of Mexico, having commenced operations in February 2010 under a long-term charter contract with a third-party operator. The purchase of this vessel was financed by the third tranche of our Trust Certificates Program.

Mini PSV. Isla San Ignacio. On February 19, 2009, we entered into an agreement for the purchase from Adriatic Marine LLC of one mini PSV. This vessel was added to our offshore fleet in the Gulf of Mexico in July 2009. The purchase of this vessel was financed by the third tranche of the Trust Certificates Program.

Purchase of Auto Haulage Business Assets

On July 19, 2007, we purchased certain auto haulage operating assets from Auto Convoy Mexicano, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican auto hauling company, and certain other parties for an aggregate purchase price of Ps. 429 million. These auto haulage operating assets were incorporated into our logistics division and commenced operations in September 2007.

Sale of Two Vessels

As part of the Company’s plan to modernize its fleet, during April 2009 the Company sold two of its oldest offshore vessels: the AHTS Isla Ballena (1983); and the Supply Isla Coronado (1982).

SSA Claims

In July 2006 and February 2007, Grupo TMM received claim notices from SSA relating to certain contingencies affecting SSA (formerly TMM Puertos y Terminales, S.A. de C.V. or TMMPyT) in connection with the Amended and Restated Master Agreement dated July 21, 2001.

On June 14, 2007, we were officially notified by the International Chamber of Comerce (“ICC”) of arbitration proceedings with respect to one of the claims, which related to payments made by SSA to its employees under Mexico’s compulsory profit sharing regulations. SSA also filed a tax proceeding with the tax authorities in Mexico which related to the same payments made by SSA to its employees under Mexico’s compulsory profit sharing regulations. We have not been notified of any proceedings with respect to the second claim.

On March 6, 2009, the Arbitral Tribunal resolved the claim submitted to arbitration, and ordered Grupo TMM to pay SSA Ps. 30,837,071, plus interest at a 6% annual rate from November 8, 2006.

In connection with the order, on May 15, 2009, Grupo TMM and SSA agreed that if the tax proceeding results in a finding that the amount paid by SSA to its employees was inappropriate or not required, Grupo TMM will not be required to pay the arbitration award to SSA. In addition, on May 15, 2009, Grupo TMM and SSA signed an agreement in which both companies agreed to negotiate the terms of a possible transaction to be carried out in Tuxpan, Veracruz as an alternate method of satisfying the arbitration award. If an agreement between Grupo TMM and SSA is not reached by the end of this year, and if SSA receives an unfavorable ruling in the tax proceeding, then Grupo TMM has agreed to pay SSA 50% of its distributions in API Acapulco (the joint venture with SSA) until the arbitration award is paid in full.

In June 2010, SSA obtained a favorable ruling in its tax proceeding. In the event the ruling is confirmed, Grupo TMM will not be required to pay the arbitration award to SSA.

Restructuring of Receivables Securitization Facility and Associated Capital Increase

In December of 2009, Grupo TMM restructured its Securitization Facility. The Facility was created in 2006 by Grupo TMM and several of its subsidiaries. Under the Facility, a Trust (the “Trust”) issued a series of trust certificates (the “Certificates”) backed by receivables assigned to the Trust by certain of Grupo TMM’s subsidiaries.

As part of the restructuring of the Securitization Facility, a company affiliated with Grupo TMM, Vex Asesores Corporativos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“VEX”), purchased Certificates with a face value of approximately $86.5 million (the “Purchased Certificates”) from Deutsche Bank AG London.

As described below, pursuant to a separate agreement between VEX and Grupo TMM, all but $6 million of the Purchased Certificates were subsequently cancelled and were exchanged for cash, equity in Grupo TMM, and other consideration. The transaction with VEX was approved by the Board of Directors of Grupo TMM, on the basis of a prior approval by the Auditing and Corporate Governance Committee, which received an independent expert’s fairness opinion on the consideration and other terms and conditions of the transaction.

In addition, Deutsche Bank AG London, as part of the restructuring, agreed to certain amendments to the Facility. Among other things, Deutsche Bank AG London agreed to release the Logistcs Division’s subsidiaries from the Facility. As a result, receivables generated by those subsidiaries will no longer be assigned to the Trust. The cash required for debt service in 2010 is expected to be reduced by approximately $37.9 million.

Pursuant to a resolution adopted at the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 15, 2009 and with the authorization of the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, on January 6, 2010, VEX acquired 46,797,404 Shares for an aggregate subscription price of $41,181,715.53, or $0.88 per Share (equivalent to $4.40 per ADS). The subscription price per Share was 10% higher than the ADS closing price on January 5, 2010. VEX paid the subscription price for the Shares as part of the consideration for its sale to Grupo TMM of the Purchased Certificates. The remainder of the consideration VEX received for the Purchased Certificates consisted of $27,103,065.52 in cash, a five-year promissory note from Grupo TMM in the principal amount of $12,250,000.00, and subordinated trust certificates issued under the Securitization Facility with a face amount of

$6,000,000.00. On May 7, 2010, VEX distributed 18,437,440 of the 46,797,404 Shares it acquired to various investors who participated in VEX’s purchase of the Purchased Certificates from Deutsche Bank AG London.

As a result of the above, the subscribed and paid capital increase totaled Ps. 532,174,837 and the number of outstanding Shares of Grupo TMM increased to 102,024,441 Shares. No shareholder exercised its preferential right to subscribe to the capital increase during the designated period. The portion of the issued capital stock that was not subscribed was automatically cancelled pursuant to the resolution adopted at the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Sale of Investment in Grupo Seglo

On April 20, 2010, Grupo TMM agreed to sell its stockholdings in the companies that comprised Grupo Seglo to its partner for $4.9 million (Ps 60 million) (See Note 1 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein).

The Mexican Market

Since TMM’s formation in 1958, the growth and diversification of the Mexican economy have largely driven our growth. As a result of NAFTA, which became effective on January 1, 1994, trade with and investment in the Mexican economy has significantly increased, resulting in greater traffic along the North-South cross-border trade routes, which comprise the NAFTA corridor. The following table illustrates the growth of the foreign trade segment of the Mexican economy over the last three years:


	Foreign Trade 2007-2009^(a)
	As of December 31,
	(in millions of Dollars)

Discontinued Operations

On September 21, 2007, we finalized the sale of Grupo TMM’s interest in Grupo Transportación Ferroviaria Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“Grupo TFM”) to Kansas City Southern (“KCS”), which comprised all of our remaining railroad operations. As consideration for this sale, we received $289.1 million in cash (including $54.1 million paid on September 21, 2007 under the terms of a settlement agreement to fully and finally end all disputes between KCS and Grupo TMM). Previously we had received in connection with the sale, 19,494,469 shares of KCS common stock which were sold in December 2005 and December 2006 for a total of approximately $437.8 million. See “— Recent Developments — Disposition of Grupo TMM’s interest in Grupo TFM to KCS.”

The results of our railroad operations that were sold in April 2005 are discussed in this Annual Report in the “Discontinued Operations” section. See Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Results of Operations — Discontinued Operations”.

NYSE Continued Listing Standards; Reverse Split of ADSs

On October 17, 2008, we received an official notice from the NYSE informing us that we were not in compliance with applicable NYSE continued listing standards. As of such date, we had six months in which to reestablish compliance and remain listed on the NYSE. On February 26, 2009, the NYSE suspended until June 30, 2009, later extending the date to July 31, 2009, certain of the listing requirements which we had failed to meet. In order to comply with this NYSE listing standard, on August 24, 2009 we changed our ADS ratio from one ADS for every one CPO to one ADS for every five CPOs. For our ADS holders, the ratio change had the same effect as a one-for-five reverse stock split and thereby increased the listing price of our ADSs. As of the close of business on June 18, 2010, the closing price of our ADSs was $2.50. See Item 9. “The Offer and Listing — The NYSE Continued Listing Standards; Reverse Split of ADSs.”

Business Strategy

Over the past few years, we have made significant changes to our business and shifted our strategy to focus on “door-to-door” service to our customers by being a source of trucking, port and ship services for clients transporting goods across land and water in the NAFTA Corridor. Set forth below is a description of the elements of our strategy.

Expansion of our Maritime Operations

We plan to expand our Maritime Operations by: (i) increasing cabotage services with medium and long-term contracts through the seniority granted to Mexican ship-owners under the Mexican Navigation Law (Mexican flagged vessels have a preference to perform cabotage in Mexican waters), (ii) satisfying demand for exploration and distribution services, which we believe are increasing within Mexico and (iii) meeting market requirements of new generation vessels with higher-rated and deeper-water capabilities. Considering the urgent need of PEMEX to increase its oil and gas reserves, we expect an increasing demand for exploration and distribution services within Mexico which we will try to service through medium and long-term contracts and meeting market requirements of new generation vessels with higher-rated and deeper-water capabilities.

During 2006 we (i) purchased eleven offshore vessels from Seacor which now carry the Mexican flag, (ii) purchased the minority interest held by Seacor in our offshore business. and (iii) purchased the minority interest held by Smit in our harbor towing business.

During 2007, and as part of our business plan, we (i) entered into an agreement for the purchase of two newbuilding tugboats that were delivered in January 2008, (ii) entered into an agreement for the purchase of the PSV Isla Monserrat that was delivered in January 2008, (iii) entered into an agreement for the purchase of the AHTS Isla Leon (ex-Sea Wolverine) that was delivered in June 2008, (iv) entered into an agreement for the purchase of two AHTSs, one of which was delivered in August 2008 and the second of which was cancelled due to a delay of the delivery by the shipyard, (v) entered into an agreement for the construction of two FSIV that were delivered in August and October 2009, respectively and (vi) exercised purchase options for the chemical tankers M/T “Maya” and the M/T “Olmeca”.

During 2008 we (i) entered into an agreement for the purchase of a small tanker with the intention of converting it into a Well Testing Vessel which was delivered on July 21, 2008, (ii) entered into an agreement for the acquisition of three product tankers that were delivered in July, September and October 2008, respectively.

During 2009 we entered into an agreement for the purchase of a mini-supply vessel which was delivered in July 2009. The Company has not entered into any new purchase agreements during 2010.

In addition, we are developing our product tanker business and since July 2005 we have entered into two product tanker contracts with PEMEX under bareboat charters for a five-year term. During 2009 we were awarded a third bareboat charter contract for a product tanker with PEMEX for a five-year period. During 2006, TMM also entered into a marketing agreement with Navi8 (formerly FR8), a company that actively trades a time charter fleet, owns and invests in tonnage, manages vessels for third parties and for its own account and acts as an exclusive cargo

broker for oil traders. This agreement enhances TMM’s flexibility to (i) offer vessels to PEMEX under time charter schemes and (ii) enter international markets.

Ports Operations

We own over 2,000 acres of land in the port of Tuxpan. We believe that this plot of land is a strategic investment and could be used in the future in connection with the development of Tuxpan as a major seaport.

Reducing Corporate Overhead and Other Operating Costs

Over the last few years, we have significantly reduced our operating costs. In 2003, we reduced our corporate staff headcount from 222 to 97 full-time equivalents through the elimination of redundant positions and the transfer of certain employees to other business areas within the Company. Furthermore, we have developed an information systems platform that integrates logistics services using Internet technology, thereby increasing the efficiency of our logistics operations. The information systems platform supports dedicated logistics contracts and yard management and allows our customers to access information regarding the location and status of their cargo via touch-tone telephone or computer.

In 2005, after the sale of Grupo TFM, we reduced the number of personnel in our Logistics Operations segment from 8,491 to 5,000. As of December 31, 2006, our Logistics Operations personnel totaled 5,055. In 2007 we increased corporate and other operating expenses due to the warehousing and auto haulage acquisitions. These two new businesses added 946 employees to our Company. In November 2007, the Board of Directors approved and executed a corporate restructuring of the senior executives of the Company which was intended to reduce corporate expenses and improve the Company’s performance.

During 2008 and 2009, we continued our corporate overhead reduction programme. We believe our level of corporate overhead was in-line with our business during 2009.

In addition, we have reduced and will continue to reduce, the number of companies within our organizational structure in an effort to streamline operations and reduce operating costs.

Sources of Financing

We expect to finance the expansion plans mentioned above mainly through secured credit arrangements and other asset-backed financings, similar to what the Company has been doing through its Trust Certificates Program.

Debt Refinancing

The refinancing of our current debt is a priority in order to extend the maturity of such debt and achieve lower debt service requirements and interest costs. Accordingly, we are evaluating several alternatives to refinance debt that was not refinanced through our Trust Certificates Program. In addition, our goal is to improve our operational flexibility by refinancing the debt with debt that does not contain as many restrictive covenants as are contained in our current debt agreements.

Certain Competitive Advantages

We believe that we benefit from the following competitive advantages:

•		no other company offers a similar breadth and depth of services as a third-party logistics provider in Mexico;

•		the ability to contract for the transportation of large amounts of cargo by sea, as well as transport by truck, enables us to provide value-added “door-to-door” service to our customers. The value of our transportation service is further enhanced by our ability to provide warehousing services for some types of cargo. This ability to provide integrated services gives us a competitive advantage over companies that provide only maritime transportation to, or overland transportation within, Mexico; and

•

we are a Mexican-owned and Mexican-operated company, a distinction that allows us marketing and operational advantages and, in certain cases, preferential treatment in certain niche markets within Mexico. Mexican law provides that cabotage (intra-Mexican movement between ports) is reserved for ships flying the Mexican flag.

Maritime Operations

Our Maritime Operations include: (a) supply and logistics services to the oil offshore industry at offshore facilities in the Gulf of Mexico and between ports, moving crews and/or cargo to and from oil platforms; (b) product tankers for the transportation in cabotage of petroleum products, such as the distribution of gasoline to a variety of Mexican ports where the gasoline is further distributed inland; (c) parcel tankers, also known as chemical tankers, for the transportation of liquid chemical cargoes between ports in Mexico and the United States; and (d) tugboats that provide harbor towing services in and out of the port of Manzanillo. Mexican law provides that cabotage (intra-Mexican movement between ports) is reserved for ships flying the Mexican flag, which we believe provides us with a competitive advantage in this market. This segment accounted for 65% of consolidated revenues for the year 2009, 57% for the year 2008 and 59% for the year 2007.

Fleet Management

As of April 30, 2010, we operated a fleet comprised of product tankers and parcel tankers, as well as a fleet of offshore vessels and tugboats. Of a total of 46 vessels, 43 are owned tonnage (five product tankers, 31 offshore vessels, two parcel tankers and five tugboats) and three are chartered units (one parcel tanker, one product tanker and one offshore vessel).

The table below sets forth information as of April 30, 2010, about our fleet of owned and chartered vessels by type, size and capacities:

Offshore Vessels

We have been participating in this business for 17 years. In March 2006, the Company purchased Seacor’s 40% interest in Marmex. As part of this transaction, TMM also purchased five offshore vessels owned by Seacor, which began flying the Mexican flag, and at the same time converted three additional offshore vessels from leased to owned status. All eight vessels are working under time charter contracts supporting offshore oil exploration and production activities in the Gulf of Mexico.

TMM, in its offshore division, provides supply and logistics services to the offshore industry between the ports and the offshore facilities in the Gulf of Mexico through a specialized fleet that includes fast and conventional crew vessels, supply vessels, anchor handling tug supply vessels and Dynamic Positioning (“DP”) vessels. Other services include supply and administration of onboard personnel, coordination and supervision of the maritime transport of staff, materials and equipment from the base on shore to operational points of the vessels within the oil-drilling zone of the Gulf of Mexico, and coordination and supervision of catering and accommodation matters onboard the vessels. As of June 2009, TMM’s offshore fleet represented 9% of Mexico’s offshore fleet. As of April 30, 2010, 21 TMM vessels were directly hired by PEMEX, and nine additional vessels were hired by private operators engaged in the construction and maintenance sectors for PEMEX or working in the spot market.

Product Tankers

Since 1992, we have provided product tanker chartering services to PEMEX for the transportation of clean and dirty petroleum products, from refineries to various Mexican ports. Our fleet is comprised of six product tankers, which include three long-term contracts entered into during May and June 2005 and August 2010, respectively, and three short-term contracts with PEMEX.

Set forth below is information regarding our product tanker fleet as of April 30, 2009:

We have a competitive advantage in the Mexican market as Mexican Maritime law establishes that cabotage services should be provided by Mexican flag vessels and only Mexican companies are allowed to fly the Mexican flag.

OPA 90 established that vessels that do not have double-hulls will be prohibited from transporting crude oil and petroleum products in U.S. coastwise transportation after a certain date based on the age and size of the vessel unless they are modified with a double-hull. In addition Annex II (Rules 13G and 13H) from MARPOL 73/78 establishes a phase out calendar for single hull tankers. We are aware of this regulation and do not charter or intend to acquire vessels that do not comply with these rules.

Parcel Tankers

Our parcel tanker business operates between Mexican and American ports in the Gulf of Mexico, transporting chemicals, vegetable and animal oils and molasses. The majority of the transported cargo is under contracts of affreightment (“COAs”) in which the customers commit the carriage of their cargo over a fixed period time on multiple voyages, with a minimum and a maximum cargo tonnage at a fixed price. The vessel operator is responsible for the vessel, the fuel and the port expenses. Currently, our chemical tanker fleet is comprised of two owned and one time-chartered vessel. We transported 1.4 million tons of goods in our parcel tankers during 2009 and 1.5 million tons during 2008. Our primary customers that use our parcel tanker services include major oil and chemical companies.

Set forth below is information regarding our parcel tankers as of April 30, 2010:

Harbor Towing

Since January 1997, TMM (formerly Servicios Mexicanos en Remolcadores, S.A. de C.V.) has provided tugboat services in the port of Manzanillo under a 10-year concession, including port docking and navigation in and out of channels and port facilities into open waters. In December 2006, the concession to operate this business was renewed by the relevant authorities for eight more years. As of April 30, 2010 we are operating five owned vessels in this port.

Customers and Contractual Arrangements

The primary purchasers of our Maritime Operations services are multi-national oil, gas and chemical companies. These services are generally contracted for on the basis of short-term or long-term time charters, voyage charters, contracts of affreightment or other transportation agreements tailored to the shipper’s requirements. In 2009, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 83% and 53% of Maritime Operations revenues and consolidated revenues, respectively. The loss of one or a few of our customers could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of our Maritime Operations.

The services we provide are arranged through different contractual arrangements. Time charters are the principal contractual form for our Maritime Operations.

In the case of a time charter, the customer is responsible for the hire, fuel and port expenses, and we are responsible for the nautical operation of the vessel including the expenses related with the crew, maintenance, and insurance of the vessels. When we bareboat charter a vessel to a customer, the customer is responsible for the hire and fuel port expenses but also assumes all risk of the nautical operation, including the associated expenses. COAs are contracts with a customer for the carriage of cargoes that are committed on a multi-voyage basis over a period of weeks or months, with minimum and maximum cargo tonnages specified over the period at fixed rates per ton depending on the duration of the contract. Typically, under voyage charters and contracts of affreightment the vessel owner pays for the fuel and any applicable port charges.

Markets

The demand for offshore vessels is affected by the level of offshore exploration and drilling activities, which in turn is influenced by a number of factors including:

	§		expectations as to future oil and gas commodity prices;

	§		customer assessments of offshore drilling prospects compared to land-based opportunities;

	§		customer assessments of cost, geological opportunity and political stability in host countries;

	§		worldwide demand for oil and natural gas;

	§		the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) to set and maintain production levels and pricing;

	§		the level of production of non-OPEC countries;

	§		the relative exchange rates for the U.S. dollar; and

	§		various government policies regarding exploration and development of their oil and gas reserves.

Ports and Terminals Operations

We conduct operations at the Mexican ports of Acapulco and Tuxpan. We have been granted three partial assignment agreements of rights and obligations in respect to our operations at Tuxpan. Additionally, we own land and a multipurpose cargo terminal in Tuxpan. Our concession in Acapulco and our partial assignment agreement of rights and obligations in Tuxpan give us the right of first refusal to continue operations for a second term once the term of the original contract expires.

In December 2005, we sold our business in Colombia. Before the sale of our business in Colombia, this segment accounted for 13% and 19% of consolidated revenues in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Without the Colombian business, the Ports and Terminals operations accounted for 2% of consolidated revenues in 2009 and 2008 and 3% in 2007 and 2006.

The following table sets forth our existing port facilities and concessions:


Port	Concession	Date Awarded	Duration
Acapulco	Integral port administration	June 20, 1996	25 years (with the possibility of extension)

Tuxpan	Approximately 1,300 meters of waterfront	September 25, 2000	20 years (with the possibility of extension)

	Approximately 0.8 hectares of land	April 7, 1997	20 years (with the possibility of extension)

	Stevedoring Services	August 4, 1999	10 years. (extension for additional 10 years was exercised in 2009).

Acapulco

In June 1996, we received a 25-year concession to operate the tourist port of Acapulco and commenced operations in July 1996. Our port interests in Acapulco are operated through a joint venture with SSA called Administración Portuaria Integral de Acapulco, S.A. de C.V. (“API Acapulco”), in which we have a 51% interest.

Through API Acapulco, we operate and manage an automobile terminal, a cruise ship terminal with a capacity to receive two cruise ships simultaneously and an automobile warehouse with a capacity to store up to 1,700 automobiles. The automobile terminal was completed in November 1997 and the passenger terminal was completed during the fourth quarter of 2000.

In 2009, we handled 21,209 automobile exports for Volkswagen, Chrysler and Nissan to South America and Asia, reflecting a decrease of 57% from 2008, when we handled approximately 49,629 automobiles at our terminal.

Acapulco is one of the main tourist ports in Mexico. Major cruise ship lines, such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess and Holland America, among others, make use of our terminal. During 2009, we had 100 cruise ship calls, which represents a 9% decrease from 110 calls in 2008.

Tuxpan

We own approximately 2,000 acres of land in Tuxpan, and we own a terminal of multipurpose cargo through our wholly owned subsidiary Tecomar, S.A. de C.V. We have access to a contiguous public berth where containers and general cargo can be unloaded and delivered to our multipurpose terminal. Additionally, we offer container-warehousing services at this port. While we currently handle only a small volume of cargo at the port, we are in the process of developing the site. Our Tuxpan port facilities are operated through Operadora Portuaria de Tuxpan, S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo TMM.

Shipping Agencies

We operate shipping agencies at the ports of Acapulco, Veracruz, Coatzacoalcos, Ciudad del Carmen, Dos Bocas, Tuxpan, Cozumel, Costa Maya, Progreso and Zihuatanejo. Our shipping agencies provide services to vessel owners and operators in Mexican ports, including (i) port agent services, including the preparation of the required documentation with the relevant port authorities for the dispatch of vessels; (ii) protective agent services, which support the rotation of crew members and the supply of spare parts; (iii) cargo and multimodal supervision; (iv) ship chandler services, which include the procurement of food, water and supplies and (v) bunkering services, which include the coordination of fuel delivery services. Our shipping agencies also provide shipping agency services at other major ports through agreements with local agents.

Logistics Operations

Through TMM Logistics, S.A. de C.V. (“TMM Logistics”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo TMM, we provide dedicated logistics trucking services to major manufacturers, including automobile manufacturers, and retailers with facilities and operations throughout Mexico. We offer full-service logistical facilities in major industrial cities and railroad hubs throughout Mexico, including in Aguascalientes, Toluca, Puebla, Veracruz, Nuevo Laredo, Mexico City and Monterrey, among others. The services that we provide include consulting, analytical and logistics outsourcing services, which encompass the management of inbound movement of parts to manufacturing plants consistent with just-in-time inventory planning practices; logistics network (order-cycle) analysis; logistics information process design; trucking, auto haulage and intermodal transport; warehousing and bonded warehousing facility management; supply chain and logistics management; product handling and repackaging; local pre-assembly; maintenance and repair of containers in principal Mexican ports and cities; and inbound and outbound distribution using multiple transportation modes. Due to the scope of our operations, together with the extent of our experience and resources, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to coordinate the entire supply chain for our customers. This segment accounted for 31% of consolidated revenues in 2009, 37% of consolidated revenues in 2008, and 38% of consolidated revenues in 2007 and 2006.

Automotive Services

We provide specialized logistics support for the automotive industry within Mexico. Services include the arrangement and coordination of the movement of motor vehicle parts or sub-assemblies from supplier facilities to assembly plants, warehousing, inspection and yard management. Our logistics services can be provided as end-to-end integrated logistics programs (bundled) or discrete services (unbundled) depending on customer needs.

Trucking Services

In conjunction with our logistics facilities, we offer truck transport and dedicated logistics trucking services as a value-added component to streamline the movement of products to and from major Mexican cities and rail hubs. Under Mexican law, truck transportation within Mexico can be performed only by Mexican-owned companies, such as Grupo TMM. As of April 30, 2010, we operated 411 trucks. We currently provide dedicated trucking services to several major manufacturers and retailers including Jumex, Chedraui, Nestle, Unilever, Waldo’s and Nissan.

Our over-the-road units provide trucking services on a spot basis to major retail stores and consumer product companies. We also provide intermodal services for drayage cargo at Pantaco in Mexico City and Monterrey.

Container Repair and Maintenance

We offer maintenance and repair services for dry and refrigerated containers in Manzanillo, Veracruz, Altamira, Ensenada, and Aguascalientes. These services involve keeping refrigerated components and other parts of a container in useable condition, including mechanical repair, welding and repainting of such containers.

TMM Plus

TMM Plus is a state-of-the-art supply chain platform that we developed which enables us to better control our operations and to provide our customers with full tracking of their products while products are moving through the supply chain. In addition, this tool increases our capabilities for designing and controlling a variety of logistics services. This platform has expanded our service offerings, which we expect will continue to increase the volume of our business.

Warehousing Services

We added warehousing to our logistics services in 2006 through the acquisition of Almacenadora de Depósito Moderno, S.A. de C.V. Organización Auxiliar de Crédito (“ADEMSA”). ADEMSA currently operates over 380,000 square meters of warehousing space throughout Mexico, including 68,000 square meters of direct warehouse space (the largest of which is located northern Mexico City). Due to its regulated nature, ADEMSA is one of a limited number of warehousing companies authorized by the Mexican Government to provide bonded warehousing services and to issue negotiable certificates of deposit.

Auto Haulage

On July 19, 2007, TMM acquired from Autoconvoy Mexicano, S.A. de C.V., operating assets including a fleet of 228 trucks and 423 haul-away trailers, each equipped with a satellite tracking system.

We have our own yards in Puebla, Aguascalientes and Cuernavaca, equipped with all the facilities necessary for the operation of the newly formed TMM Logistics haul-away division (management offices, repair shops, shelter yards, security, warehouses, etc).

Since July 19, 2007, TMM has coordinated vehicle distribution on a national level, from the main automotive manufacturers’ plants, to the national dealers or borders for export purposes.

Currently Auto Haulage operates 152 trucks and 357 haul-away trailers.

Grupo TMM’s Strategic Partners

We are currently a partner in strategic arrangements with the following companies:


Business		Partner
Ports (Acapulco)		SSA Mexico, Inc.

In October 2000, EMD, a subsidiary of General Motors (“GM”), invested $20 million in our subsidiary TMM Multimodal, S.A. de C.V. (“TMM Multimodal”) (representing an approximate 3.4% interest in TMM Multimodal). Under the terms of the Subscription and Stockholder Agreement relating to its investment in TMM Multimodal, EMD had the right to cause Grupo TMM to purchase, or, alternatively, to cause TMM Multimodal to redeem, all, but not less than all, of EMD’s shares in TMM Multimodal at a price equal to the original investment of $20 million, plus interest compounded annually from June 30, 2000 at the rate of 12% per annum, less certain distributions received by EMD in respect of its shares of TMM Multimodal. On March 15, 2005, GM notified the Company of its intention to exercise its put option on April 4, 2005; and on such date, with the cash proceeds from the sale of its interest in Grupo TFM to KCS, Grupo TMM paid approximately $34 million to GM in exchange for the shares of TMM Multimodal.

Disposition of Grupo TMM’s interest in Grupo TFM to KCS

General

On September 21, 2007, we completed the sale of our interest in Grupo TFM to KCS pursuant to an Amended and Restated Acquisition Agreement dated December 15, 2004 (the “AAA”). As consideration for the purchase and upon consummation of the transactions the Company received: (i) $200 million in cash; (ii) 18 million shares of KCS common stock, which were sold for approximately $400.5 million; (iii) an additional $35 million in cash and 1,494,469 KCS shares sold for approximately $37.3 million, and (iv) $54.1 million in cash to settle the various disputes between Grupo TMM and KSC relating to the sale of Grupo TFM. In connection with the completion of the sale, the parties entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which each fully and finally settled and released all claims asserted against the other in arbitration proceedings which had been initiated by KCS under the AAA. See Item 8. “Financial Information — Legal Proceedings — Dispute with Kansas City Southern.”

Sales and Marketing

Much of the success of our business depends on our marketing network. Our marketing network includes affiliated offices, agencies at Mexican ports and a sales force based throughout Mexico to sell our logistics, ports and specialized maritime services. Our marketing and sales efforts are designed to grow and expand our current customer base by initiating long-term contracts. We have devised, implemented and will continue to implement several customer service initiatives in connection with our marketing efforts, which include the designation of customer sales territories and assignment of customer service teams to particular customers.

Since we commenced operations, we have been actively seeking to obtain new customer contracts with the expectation of entering into long-term contracts with such new clients or with existing customers. Although written customer contracts are not customary in Mexico, we have succeeded in negotiating written contracts with a number of our major customers.

Systems and Technology

We continually enhance our technology and information systems to support our operations. Our systems are updated regularly to increase operating efficiencies, improve customer satisfaction and maintain regulatory compliance. We have deployed devices and software to increase accuracy and security in our information systems in order to ensure the continuity of our business operations.

We have developed TMM Plus, an internet-based information systems platform that integrates different logistics services, thereby increasing the efficiency of our logistics operations. The information systems platform supports dedicated logistics contracts and yard management. The systems platform allows our customers to access information regarding the location and status of their cargo via computer. See “— Business Strategy — Reducing Operating Costs.”

Competition

Maritime Operations

The Company’s primary competitors in the Offshore Vessel business are Oceanografía, S.A. de C.V. (partner of Otto Candies LLC in Mexico) and Nautica Saltamar, S.A. de C.V. (a Mexican company with commercial agreements with Tidewater, Inc., the world’s largest offshore vessel operator). Tidewater, Inc. has a substantially greater percentage of domestic and foreign offshore marine market share compared to the Company and its other competitors. Other important offshore vessel operators in Mexico include Consultoría y Servicios Petroleros, S.A. de C.V., Naviera Integral S.A. de C.V., Naviera Tamaulipas S.A. de C.V., Seamar Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., Edison Chouest Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., and Cotemar S.A. de C.V.

The Company’s primary competitor in the Parcel Tanker business is Stolt-Nielsen Transportation Group Ltd. Some other competitors in this business include Clipper, Eitzen and Tradewind Tankers.

Our tugboat business does not have a direct competitor within the port of Manzanillo, however other important tugboat operations in Mexico are provided by Saam Remolques, S.A., Cia. Maritima del Pacifico, S.A de C.V and Cia Maritima Mexicana, S.A de C.V.

The Company’s primary competitors in the Product Tanker business are Arrendadora Ocean Mexicana, S.A. de C.V., Naviera Tulum, S.A. de C.V., Naviera Tapias, S.A. and Naviera del Sureste, S.A. de C.V.

The Company believes the most important competitive factors concerning the Maritime Operations segment are pricing, the flying of the Mexican flag and the availability of equipment to fit customer requirements, including the ability to provide and maintain logistical support given the complexity of a project and the cost of transferring equipment from one market to another. The Company believes it can capitalize on opportunities as they develop for purchasing, mobilizing, or upgrading vessels to meet changing market conditions.

Logistics Operations

In our Third Party Logistics business, the Company faces competition primarily from Car Logistics S.A. de C.V. and Axis Logistics S.A. de C.V.

In its Maintenance and Repair business, the Company faces competition primarily from Container Care International Inc., Reparación Internacional de Contenedores, S.A. de C.V. and Maersk Sealand Inc.

The Company’s key competitors in its Trucking business are Transportistas Unidos Mexicanos División Norte, S.A. de C.V., Transportes Easo, S.A. de C.V., Transportes Castores de Baja California, S.A. de C.V. and Transportes de Carga Tres Guerras, S.A. de C.V.

Our Warehousing business’ main competitors are Exel Logistics de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Zimag Logistics, Accel Logistica S.A. de C.V., Kuehne & Nagel S.A de C.V. and Grupo Onest Logistics.

In the auto hauling business, the Company faces competition primarily from Transportes Cuauhtemoc, S.A. de C.V., Auto Traslados sin Rodar, S.A. de C.V., Consorcio de Servicios Internacionales, S.A. de C.V. and González Trucking, S.A. de C.V.

The Company believes the most important competitive factors in the Logistics Operations segment are price, customer service, brand name, experience, operating capabilities and state-of-the-art information technology.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Certain countries have laws which restrict the carriage of cargos depending upon the nationality of a vessel or its crew or the origin or destination of the vessel, as well as other considerations relating to particular national interests. In accordance with Mexico’s Ley de Navegación y Comercio Marítimos (Navigation Law), cabotage (intra-Mexican movement) is reserved for ships flying the Mexican flag. We believe we are currently in material compliance with all restrictions imposed by the jurisdictions in which we operate. However, we cannot predict the cost of compliance if our business is expanded into other jurisdictions which have enacted similar regulations.

We are also subject to the laws of various jurisdictions and international conferences with respect to the discharge of materials into the environment. See “— Environmental Regulation” and “— Insurance.”

Truck transportation within Mexico is reserved for Mexican nationals or entities that include in their constituent documents or Bylaws the “foreigner exclusion clause” (cláusula de exclusión de extranjeros), or a clause allowing other foreign investment through “neutral investment vehicles or securities.” Truck transportation is regulated by the Ley de Caminos, Puentes y Autotransporte Federal and the Ley de Vias Generales de Comunicacion.

Our port operations are subject to the Ley de Puertos. Port operations require a concession title granted by the Mexican Government to special companies incorporated under the Ley de Puertos, which companies may partially assign their concession title to third parties for the use and exploitation of assets owned by the Mexican Government

in the different port facilities (subject to the Ley de Puertos and the terms and conditions of the concession title). Various port services require a special permit granted by the Ministry of Communications and Transportation of Mexico. Concession titles may be revoked under certain circumstances in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the concession title. Partial assignments of concession titles may be rescinded under certain circumstances established in the corresponding assignment agreements. Foreign investment in special companies incorporated under the Ley de Puertos (such as API Acapulco) may not exceed 49%, except through vehicles or securities deemed by applicable Mexican law as “neutral investments.”

Mexican Navigation Law

On June 1, 2006 the Mexican Navigation Law (“Ley de Navegación y Comercio Marítimos”) was published in Mexico’s Official Gazette, and became effective 30 days thereafter. This law: (i) strengthens the reservation of cabotage services for Mexican individuals dedicated to shipping or Mexican shipping companies; (ii) establishes mechanisms and procedures for the resolution of maritime controversies or disputes and (iii) in general terms, is protective of the Mexican shipping industry. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the percentage of Mexican-flagged vessels operating in Mexico will continue to increase in the future.

The law gives precedence to international treaties ratified by Mexico to foster uniformity in the type of regime applicable to specific circumstances such as the Hague Visby Rules, CLC/FUND Conventions, 1976 Limitation Convention, Salvage Convention, COLREGS, and MARPOL. (All vessels navigating Mexican waters must enter into protection and indemnity insurance agreements.)

Listed below are some of the salient points of the legislation:

	§		customary provisions enabling authorities to carry out inspections of vessels and investigations of incidents;

	§		regulations concerning registration of vessels and waivers allowing Mexican companies to operate foreign flag vessels in otherwise reserved domains;

	§		foreign vessels are obliged to designate a shipping agent in order to call at Mexican ports;

	§		Mexican flag vessels are required to operate with Mexican crews only and cabotage is in principle reserved for Mexican vessels;

	§		when a foreign vessel is abandoned by the owners with cargo on board, provisions of the legislation coordinate repatriation and temporary maintenance of the crew which the law deems ultimately to be the joint and several liability of the owner and agent;

	§		the carriage of passengers, cargo and towage in ports and pilotage are also regulated;

	§		captains are responsible for damage and loss caused to vessels or ports due to negligence, lack of proper qualification, carelessness or bad faith, but are not responsible for damages caused by an act of God or force majeure;

	§		companies providing towage services must carry insurance to cover their liabilities to the satisfaction of the authorities;

	§		pollution is regulated by international treaties; however this only covers CLC-type liabilities. Pollution in respect of other substances is dealt with under local legislation which has no limitation. This is irrespective of any criminal proceedings or sanctions against the party responsible for the incident; and

	§		maritime privileges are also considered within the law.

The law establishes time limits for commencement of proceedings with respect to 7 specific types of contracts as follows:

	§		bareboat charter;

	§		time charter;

	§		voyage charter;

	§		carriage of goods;

	§		passengers;

	§		salvage; and

	§		towage.

Environmental Regulation

Our operations are subject to Mexican federal and state laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, as well as technical environmental requirements issued by the SEMARNAT. Under the General Law of Ecologic Equilibrium and Protection of the Environment (Ley General de Equilibrio Ecológico y Protección al Ambiente) and the General Law for Integral Prevention and Handling of Residues (Ley General de Prevención y Gestión Integral del Residuos), the SEMARNAT and other authorized ministries have promulgated standards, for, among other things, water discharge, water supply, emissions, noise pollution, hazardous substances, transportation and solid waste generation. The terms of the port concessions also impose on us certain environmental law compliance obligations. See “— Insurance.”

Under OPA, responsible parties, including owners and operators of ships, are subject to various requirements and could be exposed to substantial liability, and in some cases, unlimited liability for removal costs and damages, including natural resource damages and a variety of other public and private damages, resulting from the discharge of oil, petroleum or related substances into United States waters by their vessels. In some jurisdictions, claims for removal costs and damages would enable claimants to immediately seize the ships of the owning and operating company and sell them in satisfaction of a final judgment. The existence of comparable statutes enacted by individual states of the United States, but requiring different measures of compliance and liability, creates the potential for similar claims being brought under state law. In addition, several international conventions that impose similar liability for the discharge of pollutants have been adopted by other countries. If a spill were to occur in the course of the operation of one of our vessels carrying petroleum products, and such spill affected the United States or another country that had enacted legislation similar to OPA, we could be exposed to substantial or unlimited liability.

The U.S. Clean Water Act imposes restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of wastes into the waters of the United States. The Clean Water Act and comparable state laws, provide for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for unauthorized discharges of pollutants. In the event of an unauthorized discharge of wastes or pollutants into waters of the United States, we may be liable for penalties and could be subject to injunctive relief.

In addition, our seagoing transport of petroleum and petroleum products subjects us to additional regulations and exposes us to liability specific to this activity. Laws and international conventions adopted by several countries in the wake of the “Exxon Valdez” accident, most notably OPA (discussed above), could result in substantial or even unlimited liability for us in the event of a spill. Moreover, these laws subject tanker owners to additional regulatory and insurance requirements. We believe that we are in compliance with all material requirements of these regulations.

We could have liability with respect to contamination at our former U.S. facilities or third-party facilities in the United States where we have sent hazardous substances or wastes under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) and comparable state laws (known as state Superfund laws). CERLCA and the state Superfund laws impose joint and several liability for the cost of investigation and remediation, natural resources damages, certain health studies and related costs, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons with respect to releases into the environment of certain substances. There persons, commonly called “potentially responsible parties” or “PRPs” include the current and certain prior owners or operators of and persons that arranged for the disposal or treatment of certain substances at sites where a release has or could occur. In addition, other potentially responsible parties, adjacent landowners or other third parties may initiate cost recovery actions or toxic tort litigation against PRPs under CERCLA, state Superfund laws or state common law.

Noncompliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations may result in the imposition of considerable administrative or civil fines, temporary or permanent shutdown of operations or other injunctive relief, or criminal prosecution. We currently believe that all of our facilities and operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental regulations. There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us with respect to any environmental matters, and we do not believe that continued compliance with environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that the adoption of additional or more stringent environmental laws and regulations would have on the operations of companies that are engaged in the type of business in which we are engaged, or specifically, on our results of operations, cash flows, capital expenditure requirements or financial condition.

Insurance

Our business is affected by a number of risks, including mechanical failure of vessels, trucks and other transportation equipment, collisions, property loss of vessels, trucks and other transportation equipment, piracy, cargo loss or damage, as well as business interruption due to political circumstances in Mexico and in foreign countries, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, the operation of any oceangoing vessel is subject to the inherent possibility of catastrophic marine disaster, including oil spills and other environmental accidents, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade.

We maintain insurance to cover the risk of partial or total loss of or damage to all of our assets, including, but not limited to, harbor and seagoing vessels, port facilities, port equipment, trucks, land facilities and offices. In particular, we maintain marine hull and machinery and war risk insurance on our vessels, which covers the risk of actual or constructive total loss. Additionally, we have protection and indemnity insurance for damage caused by our operations to third persons. With certain exceptions, we do not carry insurance covering the loss of revenue resulting from a downturn in our operations or resulting from vessel off-hire time on certain vessels. In certain instances, and depending on the ratio of insurance claims to insurance premiums paid, we may choose to self-insure our over-the-road equipment following prudent guidelines. We believe that our current insurance coverage is adequate to protect against the accident-related risks involved in the conduct of our business and that we maintain a level of coverage that is consistent with industry practice. However, we cannot assure you that our insurance would be sufficient to cover the cost of damages suffered by us or damages to others, that any particular claim will be paid or that such insurance will continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates in the future. OPA 90, by imposing potentially unlimited liability upon owners, operators and bareboat charters for certain oil pollution accidents in the United States, made liability insurance more expensive for ship-owners and operators.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

Executive Overview

We generate our revenues and cash flows by providing our customers with value-added multimodal transportation and logistics services, such as dedicated truck transportation, warehousing, storage management, ports and terminals operations, cargo handling and logistics support. Our commercial and strategic alliances allow us to market a full range of services in the context of a total supply chain distribution process. Through such alliances, we have been able to benefit not only from synergies, but also from the operational expertise of our alliance partners, enhancing our own competitiveness.

Our operating results are generally affected by a variety of factors, including macroeconomic conditions, fluctuations in exchange rates, operating performance of our business units, changes in applicable regulations and fluctuations in oil prices. The effect of changes in these factors impacts our revenues and operating results.

Over the last few years, we have made and continue to make significant changes to our business, including:

	§		Reducing our corporate overhead: Over the last few years, we have significantly reduced our operating costs by reducing our corporate executive headcount from 222 to 97 full-time equivalent positions, through the elimination of redundant functions and the transfer of certain employees to other business areas within the Company. Our projections for 2010 contemplate a continued reduction in our corporate overhead on an annualized basis. See “— Business Strategy – Reducing Corporate Overhead and Other Operating Costs.”

	§		Introducing cost-saving technology: We have developed TMM Plus, an Internet-based information systems platform that integrates logistics services, thereby increasing the efficiency of our logistics operations. The information systems platform supports dedicated logistics contracts and yard management. The systems platform allows our customers to access information regarding the location and status of their cargo via computer. See “— Logistics Operations — TMM Plus.”

	§		Extending the maturity of our debt: During 2006, we repaid in full all of our public debt, including the Grupo TMM 10 ¹/4% Senior Notes due 2006 (the “2006 Notes”) and the Grupo TMM Senior Secured Notes

			due 2007 (the “2007 Notes”). In September 2006, we also entered into (i) a $200 million receivables securitization facility with Deutsche Bank AG that matures in September 2012, which was successfully restructured in December 2009, and (ii) other credit agreements to finance the acquisition of offshore vessels, parcel tanker and tugboats. We continue to review and analyze alternatives to refinance our debt to extend the maturity and reduce the interest expense thereof. See Item 4. “Information on the Company — Recent Developments — Mexican Peso-Denominated Trust Certificates Program” and “— Restructuring of Receivables Securitization Facility and Associated Capital Increase.”

	§		Establishing our Trust Certificates Program: On April 30, 2007 we established a Mexican Peso-Denominated Trust Certificates Program for the issuance of trust certificates, which are securities secured by trust assets and denominated in Mexican Pesos, for an aggregate amount of Ps. 9 billion. We closed our first, second, and third issuances of trusts certificates under the program on July 19, 2007, April 30, 2008, and July 1, 2008, respectively, in an amount of Ps. 3 billion, Ps. 1.55 billion, and Ps. 4.39 billion, respectively. Our first issuance was used primarily to refinance existing vessel indebtedness. Our second issuance was primarily used to finance the acquisition of five new and used vessels for an approximate aggregate amount of $111.4 million. Our third issuance is being used to acquire new and used vessels.

	§		Selling our interest in Grupo TFM to KCS: On April 1, 2005, we sold our interest in Grupo TFM to KCS. See Item 4. “Information on the Company — Recent Developments — Disposition of Grupo TMM’s interest in Grupo TFM to KCS.”

	§		Purchase of 40% Marmex stake from Seacor: On March 3, 2006, the Company purchased Seacor’s 40% interest in Marmex, our former offshore vessel joint venture company dedicated to providing maritime offshore services in Mexico’s Gulf Coast. As part of this transaction, Grupo TMM also purchased five offshore vessels owned by Seacor which began flying the Mexican flag, and at the same time converted three additional offshore vessels from leased to owned status. All eight vessels are working under time charter contracts supporting offshore oil exploration and production activities in the Gulf of Mexico. The aggregate cost of these transactions, including the purchase of 40% of the Marmex shares, the purchase of five vessels from Seacor, and the conversion to owned status of the three vessels under lease, was $75 million, of which $70 million was financed through bank debt.

	§		Purchase of 40% SMR stake from Smit: On May 9, 2006, the Company purchased the remaining 40% minority stake held by the Dutch company Smit in Servicios Mexicanos en Remolcadores, S.A. de C.V. (“SMR”), a joint venture company dedicated to providing harbor towing services at the Port of Manzanillo, Mexico. The purchase price was $9 million. The concession to operate this business was recently renewed by the ports authorities for an additional eight years until January 2015.

	§		Purchase of 100% Almacenadora de Depósito Moderno, S.A. de C.V. Organización Auxiliar de Crédito (“ADEMSA”): On December 13, 2006, the Company purchased 100% of ADEMSA’s shares. ADEMSA currently operates over 380,000 square meters of warehousing space throughout Mexico, including 68,000 square meters of direct warehouse (the largest of which is located in northern Mexico City). Due to its regulated nature, ADEMSA is one of a limited number of warehousing companies authorized by the Mexican Government to provide bonded warehousing services and to issue negotiable certificates of deposit.

	§		Purchase of Assets from Autoconvoy Mexicano, S.A. de C.V.: On July 19, 2007, Grupo TMM acquired from Autoconvoy Mexicano, S.A. de C.V., operating assets including a fleet of 228 trucks and 423 haul-away trailers, each equipped with a satellite tracking system. We have our own yards in Puebla, Aguascalientes and Cuernavaca, equipped with all the necessary facilities for the operation of the newly formed TMM Logistics haul-away division (management offices, repair shops, shelter yards, security, warehouses, etc). Since July 19, 2007, Grupo TMM has been coordinating and distributing vehicles on a national level, from the main automotive manufacturers’ plants, to the national dealers or borders for export purposes.

	§		Sale of Certain Subsidiaries: During 2008, Grupo TMM, in an effort to streamline its operations and reduce operating costs, sold certain non-strategic subsidiaries and recognized a $17.7 million gain on the

sale of such subsidiaries. On April 20, 2010, Grupo TMM agreed to sell its stockholdings in the companies that comprised Grupo Seglo to its partner for $4.9 million (Ps. 60 million) (See Note 1 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein).

Operating Results

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Financial Statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations in 2006 and 2007

On April 1, 2005, Grupo TMM received $594 million for the sale of its share interest in Grupo TFM to KCS, including $200 million in cash, $47 million in a 5% promissory note which matured on June 1, 2007, and 18 million shares of KCS common stock worth $347 million at that date. Furthermore, on March 13, 2006, Grupo TMM received an additional payment of $110 million from KCS in a combination of $35 million in cash, a $40 million note receivable, and 1,494,469 shares of KCS common stock valued at $35 million dependent on a favorable resolution of the VAT liability and the Mexican Government’s put option. Due to the contingent nature of the latter receivable, it was not recognized as a receivable at the time of the sale, but was recognized as income from discontinued operations within the consolidated statement of operations for 2006 until actual cash was collected in April 2006 with its corresponding revenue in the amount of $111.4 million.

On September 21, 2007, the Company announced that it had reached a settlement with KCS in connection with the arbitration procedure instituted under the terms of the AAA dated December 15, 2004 between Grupo TMM and KCS. This settlement terminated any and all controversies under the AAA and its ancillary documents, and provided for mutual releases between the parties. Under the terms of the settlement, KCS paid Grupo TMM $54.1 million in cash and the obligations of KCS under the Indemnity Escrow Note and the Tax Escrow Note, which were payable in 2010, were terminated. In Grupo TMM’s financial statements, these Notes were carried at face value plus interest earned at $91.7 million, hence it was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as a loss from discontinued operations for 2007, in the amount of $38.6 million including $1 million of settlement expenses. See Item 8. “Financial Information — Legal Proceedings — Dispute with Kansas City Southern.”

Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2008

Revenues from operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $308.4 million compared to $362.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Reported revenues for each of Grupo TMM’s divisions decreased in 2009 as compared to 2008.

Ports and Terminals Operations

Ports and Terminals Operations’ revenues decreased 17.5% to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, and accounted for 2.1% of total net revenues. This decrease was mainly attributable to lower volumes at the port of Acapulco, as a result of decreased cruise ship calls (10%) due principally to travelers’ concerns about the so-called swine flu or H1N1 flu, and to a decrease in the auto handling segment, from 49,629 automobiles in 2008 to 21,209 in 2009.

Maritime Operations

Maritime Operations’ revenues decreased 3.5% to $199.6 million in 2009 compared to $206.8 million in 2008 and accounted for 64.7% of total net revenues. This decrease was mainly attributable to a 35.7% decrease in product tanker revenues, as a result of there being two fewer vessels in operation in 2009 and also to a 21.7% decrease in timecharters in 2009 compared to 2008.

Logistics Operations

Logistics Operations’ revenues decreased 29.0% to $95.4 million in 2009 compared to $134.3 million in 2008 and accounted for 30.9% of total net revenues. Revenues were negatively impacted mainly by the decreased volumes in the trucking, auto hauling and automotive segments as a result of a slowdown of production at auto plants as well as the worldwide economic crisis.

Income on Transportation

Under IFRS, income on transportation reflects revenues on transportation less operating costs and expenses. Reference to operating income in this Annual Report refers to income on transportation, plus/minus the effect of other income (expenses) as presented in the Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

Total costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased 20.7% to $278.9 million from $351.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease of 32% in leases and other rents, a decrease of 23.2% in the cost of fuel, materials and supplies, a decrease of 24.9% in salaries, wages and employee benefits and an increase of 36.5% in depreciation and amortization. Operating income increased 163.4% to $29.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from an operating income of $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The following table sets forth information concerning the Company’s operating income by business segment for the year ended December 31, 2009.

⁽¹⁾		Operating results are reported as Income on Transportation in our Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

⁽²⁾		To better reflect Grupo TMM’s corporate costs, the Company modified the presentation of its corporate expenses as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, separating human resources and information technology costs to be allocated to each business unit in accordance with its use. Income on transportation includes the following allocated total administrative costs: In 2009: $1.1 million in Ports and Terminals Operations, $5.8 million in Maritime Operations, $12.0 million in Logistics Operations and $15.1 million in shared corporate costs. Income on transportation includes the following allocated total administrative costs: In 2008: $1.6 million in Ports and Terminals Operations, $6.8 million in Maritime Operations, $14.6 million in Logistics Operations and $19.9 million in shared corporate costs.

Ports and Terminals Operations

Ports and Terminals Operations’ operating income for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $1.4 million, after deducting $1.1 million of administrative costs, compared to $1.6 million, after deducting $1.6 million of administrative costs, for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Maritime Operations

Maritime Operations’ operating income for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $55.7 million, after deducting $5.8 million of administrative costs, compared to $42.0 million, after deducting $6.8 million of administrative costs in 2008. This increase resulted primarily from operating six new vessels in our offshore business and also to a reduction of costs in the chemical tanker business during 2009.

Logistics Operations

Logistics Operations incurred an operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $9.9 million, after deducting $12.0 million of administrative costs, compared to a loss of $12.0 million, after deducting $14.6 million of administrative costs, for the year ended December 31, 2008. The operating loss in 2009 was partially offset by a 17.8% reduction in administrative costs incurred in 2009 compared to those incurred in 2008.

Net Financing Cost	$	118.4	$	(75.6	)		256.6	%

Net financing cost recognized during the year ended December 31, 2009 was a $118.4 million expense, compared to a $75.6 million credit incurred during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of significant currency exchange losses on our Peso-denominated debt as a result of the revaluation of the Peso in 2009 and significant currency exchange gains on our Peso-denominated debt as a result of the devaluation of the Peso in 2008.

Other (expenses) income — net for the year ended December 31, 2009 included primarily: $3.5 million of goodwill impairment and $1.2 million from lease equipment expenses. Other (expenses) income — net for the year ended December 31, 2008 included primarily: $17.7 million from a gain on the sale of certain non-strategic subsidiaries, which was partially offset by $4.7 million of goodwill impairment, and $3.8 million from lease equipment expenses.

In the year ended December 31, 2009 we incurred a tax expense of $1.1 million, compared to a tax expense of $20.1 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2008. The tax expense in the year 2008 is primarily due to a decrease in the deferred tax asset arising from exchange fluctuations.

Minority interest increased to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase is due to an increase in net income for the year from companies in which we hold a minority interest.

Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2007

Revenues from operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $362.9 million compared to $303.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Reported revenues for each of Grupo TMM’s divisions increased in 2008 as compared to 2007, except in the Port Division where revenues decreased in 2008 compared to 2007.

Ports and Terminals Operations

Ports and Terminals Operations’ revenues decreased 5.9% to $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and accounted for 2.2% of total net revenues, compared to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This decrease was mainly attributable to lower volumes at shipping agencies and to a decrease in revenues of 6.4% from the port in Acapulco as a result of decreased cruise ship calls, which were partially offset by an increase in revenues in the auto handling segment due to higher export volumes to South America and Japan, from 38,773 automobiles in 2007 to 46,629 in 2008.

Maritime Operations

Maritime Operations’ revenues increased 15.5% to $206.8 million in 2008 and accounted for 57% of total net revenues compared to $179 million in 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to a 16.6% increase in revenues in the offshore segment due mainly to higher average daily rates and to a 23.5% increase in product tanker revenues as a result of there being two more vessels in operation in 2008.

Logistics Operations

Logistics Operations’ revenues increased 15.9% to $134.3 million in 2008 and accounted for 37% of total net revenues compared to $115.9 million in 2007. Revenues were positively impacted by a 16.8% increase in trucking revenues mainly due to the addition of new clients and by revenues of $21.8 million in the auto hauling business in 2008, its first full year of operation. This revenue increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenues in the

fourth quarter of 2008, mainly due to the depreciation of the peso during such quarter and to decreased volumes in the auto hauling and automotive segments as a result of a slowdown of production at auto plants.

Income on Transportation

Total costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased 25.8% to $351.7 million from $279.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase of 18% in leases and other rents, an increase of 57.8% in fuel materials and supplies, an increase of 30.1% in salaries, wages and employee benefits and an increase of 21.3% in depreciation and amortization. Operating income decreased 52.7% to $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from an operating income of $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The following table sets forth information concerning the Company’s operating income by business segment for the year ended December 31, 2008.

⁽²⁾		To better reflect Grupo TMM’s corporate costs, the Company modified the presentation of its corporate expenses as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, separating human resources and information technology costs to be allocated to each business unit in accordance with its use. Income on transportation includes the following allocated total administrative costs: In 2008: $1.6 million in Ports and Terminals Operations, $6.8 million in Maritime Operations, $14.6 million in Logistics Operations and $19.9 million in shared corporate costs. In 2007: $1.9 million in Ports and Terminals Operations, $6.4 million in Maritime Operations, $14.1 million in Logistics Operations and $18.5 million in shared corporate costs.

Ports and Terminals Operations

Ports and Terminals Operations’ operating income for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to $1.6 million, after deducting $1.6 million of administrative costs, compared to $1.4 million, after deducting $1.9 million of administrative costs, for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Maritime Operations

Maritime Operations’ operating income for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to $42 million, after deducting $6.8 million of administrative costs, compared to $44.1 million, after deducting $6.4 million of administrative costs. This decrease was mainly due to reduced chemical tanker profits due to increased fuel costs during the second and third quarter of 2008 and to higher product tanker costs and operating expenses in product tankers due to the addition of three new vessels during the second half of 2008.

Logistics Operations

Logistics Operations incurred an operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $12 million, after deducting $14.6 million of administrative costs, compared to a loss of $3.4 million, after deducting $14.1 million of administrative costs, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The operating loss in 2008 was negatively impacted by non recurring costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2008 of $1.8 million in toll-related costs due to changes in tax regulations, $0.7 million in severance expenses and $1.3 million from the termination of non-profitable businesses and approximately $1.2 million in other expenses related to continuing operations.

Net Financing Cost	$	(75.6	)	$	48.5		(256.0	)%

Net financing cost recognized during the year ended December 31, 2008 was a $75.6 million credit, compared to a $48.5 million expense incurred during the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a significant currency exchange gain of our Peso-denominated debt as a result of the devaluation of the Peso in 2008, which was partially offset by the increase in interest expense of the 2008 issuance under the Company’s Trust Certificates Program.

Other (expenses) income — net for the year ended December 31, 2008 included primarily: $17.7 million from a gain on the sale of certain non-strategic subsidiaries, which was partially offset by $4.7 million of goodwill impairment, and $3.8 million from lease equipment expenses. Other (expenses) income — net for the year ended December 31, 2007 included primarily: $10.4 million for a non-recurring restructuring cost, a $4.6 million loss from the sale of non-productive assets and leases of related equipment, which was partially offset by $10.8 million from recoverable taxes net of expenses, and a gain from the sale of subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

We have identified certain key accounting policies on which our financial condition and results of operations are dependent. These key accounting policies most often involve complex matters, may be based on estimates and involve a significant amount of judgment. In the opinion of our management, our critical accounting policies under IFRS are those related to revenue recognition, financial statement translations into U.S. dollars, and deferred income taxes. For a full description of all of our accounting policies, see Note 3 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.

Revenue Recognition. Voyage revenues (parcel tankers) are recognized as income at the time the voyage is completed. Revenues associated with voyages in process are deferred and recognized at the conclusion of the voyage. Voyage revenues for the relevant accounting period are recognized as income based on where the shipments originated and the corresponding destination actually reached during that period. This requires that management, at the cut-off date for each accounting period, estimate the progress of shipments during that period.

Financial Statement Translations into U.S. Dollars. In preparing our Financial Statements, we translate amounts in other currencies to U.S. dollars under IFRS based on the guidelines established by IAS 21, “The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.” Pursuant to the revised version of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 21 by the IASB (see Note 3 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein) “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates,” whereby the concept of functional currency is discussed, Grupo TMM analyzed the economic environment in which its subsidiaries were operating during 2005. The analysis disclosed the need to change the functional currency of some of Grupo TMM’s subsidiaries from the U.S. dollar to the Mexican peso. The revised IAS 21 allows choosing the reporting currency which remained the U.S. dollar in our Financial Statements.

Deferred Income Taxes. We apply the provisions of IAS 12, “Income Taxes”. The guidance under IFRS establishes that the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards should be based on the likelihood that such tax credits will be effectively used to offset future tax liabilities. In making such an evaluation we have to exercise significant judgment in estimating the level of future taxable income that we will generate and our projections take into consideration certain assumptions, some of which are under our control and others, which are not. Key assumptions include inflation rates, currency fluctuations and future revenue growth. If our assumptions are not accurate, the amount of tax credits we have recognized could be significantly impacted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements IFRS

Grupo TMM has adopted the following new interpretations, revisions and amendments to IFRS issued by the IASB, which are relevant to and have an effect on Grupo TMM’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2009:

•		IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (Revised 2007); and

•		Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures — improving disclosures about financial instruments

Significant effects on current, prior or future periods arising from the first-time application of these new requirements in respect of presentation, recognition and measurement are described in the following two paragraphs.

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (Revised) (effective from January 1, 2009). The revised standard requires the capitalization of borrowing costs, to the extent they are directly attributable to the acquisition, production or construction of qualifying assets that need a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. The Company had already adopted the option of capitalizing borrowing costs related to qualifying assets. The revised standard will have no effect on the Company’s reported interest expense and capitalized cost in future periods.

Adoption of amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures — improving disclosures about financial instruments. The amendments require additional disclosures for financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. These fair value measurements are categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy, which reflects the extent to which they are based on observable market data. A separate quantitative maturity analysis must be presented for derivative financial liabilities that shows the remaining contractual maturities, where these are essential for an understanding of the timing of cash flows. The adoption of these amendments has no effect on Grupo TMM’s disclosures, as there aren’t any financial instruments measured at fair value or any derivative financial liabilities. A maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities that shows the remaining contractual maturities is presented in Notes 12, 13 and 14 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein and a description of the way in which Grupo TMM manages the liquidity risk inherent in non-derivative financial liabilities is found in Note 27.

As of the date of this Annual Report, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by Grupo TMM.

Management anticipates that each of the pronouncements will be adopted by Grupo TMM after the effective date of the relevant pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to Grupo TMM’s financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Revised 2008) (effective from July 1, 2009). The standard is applicable for business combinations occurring in reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The new standard introduces changes to the accounting requirements for business combinations, but still requires use of the purchase method, and will have a significant effect on business combinations occurring in future reporting periods.

IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Revised 2008) (effective from July 1, 2009). The revised standard introduces changes to the accounting requirements for the loss of control of a subsidiary and for

changes in the Group’s interest in subsidiaries. These changes will be applied prospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions and so do not have an immediate effect on Grupo TMM’s financial statements.

Annual Improvements 2009 (effective from July 1, 2009 and later). The IASB has issued Improvements for International Financial Reporting Standards 2009. Most of these amendments become effective in annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009 or January 1, 2010. The Company expects the amendments to IAS 17 Leases to be relevant to Grupo TMM’s accounting policies. Prior to the amendment, IAS 17 generally required a lease of land to be classified as an operating lease. The amendment now requires that leases of land are classified as finance or operating leases, applying the general principles of IAS 17. The Company will need to reassess the classification of the land elements of its unexpired leases at January 1, 2010 on the basis of information existing at the inception of those leases. Any newly classified finance leases are recognized retrospectively. Preliminary assessments indicate that the effect on Grupo TMM’s financial statements will not be significant.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective from January 1, 2013). The IASB aims to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety by the end of 2010, with the replacement standard to be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013. IFRS 9 is the first part of Phase 1 of this project. The main phases are:

Phase 1: Classification and Measurement
Phase 2: Impairment methodology
Phase 3: Hedge accounting

In addition, a separate project is dealing with derecognition.

Management has yet to assess the impact that this amendment is likely to have on the financial statements of Grupo TMM. However, they do not expect to implement the amendments until all chapters of the IAS 39 replacement have been published and they can comprehensively assess the impact of all changes.

Annual Improvements 2010 (effective from July 1, 2010/January 1, 2011). On May 6, 2010, the IASB issued Improvements for International Financial Reporting Standards 2010, which makes minor amendments to nine IFRSs, and most of them become effective in annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010 or January 1, 2011. Preliminary assessments indicate that the effect on Grupo TMM’s financial statements will not be significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business is capital intensive and requires ongoing expenditures for, among other things, improvements to ports and terminals, infrastructure and technology, capital expenditures for vessels and other equipment, leases and repair of equipment and maintenance of our vessels. Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, sales of assets and debt financing.

Grupo TMM is primarily a holding company and conducts the majority of its operations, and holds a substantial portion of its operating assets through numerous direct and indirect subsidiaries. As a result, it relies on income from dividends and fees related to administrative services provided from its operating subsidiaries for its operating income, including the funds necessary to service its indebtedness.

Under Mexican law, dividends from our subsidiaries, including a pro rata share of the available proceeds of our joint ventures, may be distributed only when the shareholders of such companies have approved the corresponding financial information, and none of our subsidiaries or joint venture companies can distribute dividends to us until losses incurred by such subsidiary have been recouped. In addition, at least 5% of profits must be separated to create a reserve (fondo de reserva) until such reserve is equal to 20% of the aggregate value of such subsidiary’s capital stock (as calculated based on the actual nominal subscription price received by such subsidiary for all issued shares that are outstanding at the time).

As of December 31, 2009, Grupo TMM’s total debt amounted to $784.4 million, which includes $679.3 million of our Mexican Peso-Denominated Trust Certificates Program, $19.9 million under our Securitization Facility, and $85.2 million of bank debt owed to several different banks; of this debt, $23.9 million is short-term debt and $760.5

million is long-term debt. As of March 31, 2010, Grupo TMM’s total debt amounted to $826.0 million, which includes $725.9 million of our Trust Certificates Program, $17.7 million under the Securitization Facility and $82.4 million of bank debt owed to several different banks; of this debt, $30.2 million is short-term debt and $795.8 million is long-term debt. Under IFRS, transaction costs in connection with financings are required to be accounted for as debt.

Our total shareholders’ equity in 2009, including minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries, was $119.8 million, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 6.5%.

As of December 31, 2008, Grupo TMM’s total debt amounted to $817.5 million, which included $626.1 million of our Mexican Peso-Denominated Trust Certificates Program, $116 million under the Securitization Facility with Deutsche Bank AG and $75.4 million of bank debt owed to several different banks; of this debt, $36.1 million is short-term debt and $781.4 million is long-term debt.

Our total shareholders’ equity in 2008, including minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries, was $171.2 million, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 4.8.

As of December 31, 2007, Grupo TMM’s total debt amounted to $447.8 million, which included $464.5 million of principal, $3 million of interest and transaction costs that reduce the amount outstanding by $19.7 million; of this debt, $31.3 million was short-term debt and $416.5 million was long-term debt.

Our total shareholders’ equity in 2007, including minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries, was $118.9 million, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.8.

On January 9, 2008, Grupo TMM (through its subsidiary TMM Remolcadores, S. A. de C. V.) entered into a financing agreement for the acquisition of two tugboats in the amount of $11.9 million (85% of the vessels’ purchase price) with a term of seven years, at a fixed rate of 6.35% with quarterly payments of principal and interest.

On January 11, 2008, in order to refinance the acquisition of ADEMSA, Grupo TMM closed a financing agreement in the amount of $8.5 million with a term of seven years, at a fixed rate of 8.01% with semi-annual payments of principal starting on January 2010 and semi-annual interests payments.

On January 24, 2008, through its subsidiary TMM Flota Maritíma, S. A. de C. V., Grupo TMM obtained a financing facility of up to $100 million for the acquisition and construction of vessels to be delivered from 2008 through 2010. The financing facility was used for the acquisition of one supply vessel for $32.8 million (90% of the purchase price) for a term of seven years. The facility included two kinds of loans, the senior loan of $27.4 million at variable rate of Libor +185 basis points and the junior loan of $5.4 million at variable rate of Libor + 400 basis points, with monthly payments of principal and interest. Both loans were fully pre-paid on April 30, 2008 with the proceeds of the second issuance of the Trust Certificates Program.

On April 30, 2008, Grupo TMM issued securities under the second tranche of its Trust Certificates Program for Ps. 1.55 billion, or approximately $136.9 million, at Mexico’s interbank equilibrium interest rate, TIIE, plus 195 basis points. The proceeds from the second tranche of this program were used to acquire additional tankers and offshore vessels, to repay existing debt, to fund required cash reserves and to pay issuance-related expenses.

On July 1, 2008, Grupo TMM issued securities under the third tranche of its Trust Certificates Program for Ps. 4.39 billion, or approximately $425.9 million, at Mexico’s interbank equilibrium interest rate, TIIE, plus 219 basis points. The proceeds from the third tranche of this program will be used to acquire additional offshore vessels, to fund required cash reserves and to pay issuance-related expenses.

In June 2009, Grupo TMM (through its subsidiary TMM División Marítima, S.A. de C.V.) obtained a line of credit in dollars for working capital and/or current accounts for $25.0 million (approximately $326.1 million pesos) at a variable rate, maturing in June 2015. See “—Other Debt.”

In November 2009, Grupo TMM obtained a line of credit in Mexican pesos in two tranches, one for working capital and the second for the issuance of letters of credit, for a total of approximately $16.5 million ($215.0 million pesos), maturing in November 2012, at a variable rate with monthly interest payments. See “—Other Debt.”

In December 2009, Grupo TMM restructured its Securitization Facility, resulting in the cancellation of approximately $80.5 million in certificates issued under the Facility and the release of certain subsidiaries from participation in the Facility. See Item 4. “Information on the Company — Recent Developments — Restructuring of Receivables Securitization Facility and Associated Capital Increase.”

As of March 31, 2010, we had net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $83.0 million. We had net working capital of $77.6 million, $152.5 million and $49.5 million as of December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively. The decrease in net working capital from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to a decrease of $84.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $64.3 million was restricted cash on hand, which was partially offset by a reduction in short-term debt of $12.1 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s consolidated cash position decreased by $19.9 million from the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was mainly attributable to a $91.3 million payment of debt under the Securitization Facility and others loans and $57.9 million of investments in fixed assets which was partially offset by $64 million of restricted cash.

Our Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $124.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $50.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to increased cash due to a decrease in restricted funds and by an increase in working capital. Net cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $50.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to the use of restricted funds in the amount of $70.5 million, mainly to acquire vessels, which was partially offset by an increase in working capital of $42.6 million and an increase in operating cash flow of $17.6 million.

Our Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $57.9 million, which included $73.5 million for the acquisition of vessels and operating equipment, which was partially offset by the sale of operating equipment for $15.8 million, and the sale of certain non-strategic subsidiaries for $0.2 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $384.9 million, which included $401.8 million for the acquisition of vessels and operating equipment, which was partially offset by the sale of operating equipment for $2.1 million, and the sale of certain non-strategic subsidiaries for $14.8 million. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $40.4 million, which included $100.7 million for the acquisition of property, machinery and equipment and $3.8 million for the acquisition of shares of certain subsidiaries from minority stockholders, offset in part by $7.2 million from the sale of fixed assets and $56.9 million, net of the sale of subsidiaries.

See “— Capital Expenditures and Divestitures” below for further details of capital expenditures and divestitures relating to the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Our Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2009, cash used by financing activities amounted to $91.3 million, which resulted primarily from the payment of debt under the Securitization Facility and others loans

For the year ended December 31, 2008, cash provided by financing activities amounted to $509 million. The increase was mainly due to the second and third tranches of our Trust Certificates Program for $573.2 million, which was partially offset by payments in the amount of $52.3 million, of which $12.9 million was interest under our Trust Certificates Program, and $39.4 million was interest under our other financing arrangements.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, cash provided by financing activities amounted to $34.7 million. The increase was mainly due to an increase in net contractual debt, which was partially offset by $88.3 million from the payment of debt under the Securitization Facility.

Business Plan

In 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 the Company made significant capital expenditures as described below in “Capital Expenditures and Divestitures.”

Maritime Operations. As part of our business plan to have a wholly owned division, we acquired the remaining 40% interest in each of the offshore and tugboat businesses in 2006 and entered into charter contracts for our product tankers. Our intention is to continue growing our offshore and product tanker vessels segments through the acquisition of additional vessels that should meet PEMEX’s long-term needs, as well as chartering vessels for short-term future bids or contracts. With regard to our product tanker business, we have entered into two product tanker

contracts with PEMEX under bareboat charters for a five-year term, which began operations in July 2005. During July 2009, a third product tanker began a five-year bareboat charter contract with PEMEX and two product tankers received short-term timecharter contracts with PEMEX. During 2010, the Company entered into two additional short-term timecharter contracts with PEMEX.

Ports and Terminals Operations. We own over 2,000 acres of land in the port of Tuxpan. We believe this greenfield could be used in the future in connection with the development of Tuxpan as a major seaport. We intend to continue to seek growth opportunities for our Ports and Terminals Operations.

Logistics Operations. We intend to expand our alliances with leading companies in the multimodal transportation and logistics businesses, purchase and refurbish certain equipment that will enable us to perform services we previously outsourced, and expand on our “Multipurpose Yards” concepts in the Mexican industry. We also intend to participate further in value added segments such as less than truck load services (i.e., combining cargo from different customers in order to complete a truck load), refrigerated distribution services and other land transportation and logistics related businesses.

We intend to finance the above mentioned projects through secured credit arrangements and other asset-backed financings. We cannot guarantee the success of any of the plans discussed above or that we will obtain any of the additional financing necessary to pursue the plans.

Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The auditors’ report on our Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 includes an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.” The report observes that (i) the continuation of the Company as an ongoing business depends on our compliance with our financial obligations on a regular basis, (ii) to be successful in our new investments we need to increase our fleet of vessels and take into consideration the requirements of Pemex and our other clients and (iii) the Financial Statements do not include any adjustment over the assets or liabilities that could be necessary if the company is not able to continue as an ongoing business.

In addition, we have made certain decisions to improve our operating and financial results, such as (i) acquiring new vessels, (ii) an organizational restructuring to reduce administrative expenses, (iii) the conclusion of the issuance of the Trust Certificates in July 2008, and (iv) the restructuring of the Company’s Securitization Facility, which we believe will substantially reduce financial expenses.

The Company’s management believes that its 2010 business plan considers a gradual increase in income and generation of cash from operations. These increases would be derived from business levels and assets that are substantially in place as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company’s management also believes that the aforementioned will permit the Company to continue on its positive trend of increasing efficiency and coverage ratios and realizing its current strategy of creating a healthy and competitive financial structure for the Company in the medium term.

Although we believe that the above-mentioned changes should be enough to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern, we can give no assurance that they will give the desired result.

See Item 3. “Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business” relating to our financial condition in recent years and other factors which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and could result in our dissolution under Mexican Corporate Law.

Outlook on Capital Expenditures

In early 2006, we made significant capital expenditures for the purchase of 40% of Marmex’s shares from Seacor, the purchase of eight offshore vessels, the conversion to owned status of three offshore vessels under lease, the purchase of the remaining 40% minority stake held by Smit in our harbor towing business and the acquisition of additional trucking equipment and technology. During 2007, we also made significant capital expenditures in on-

going construction for the expansion and maintenance of our port and terminal facilities, acquisition of vessels and equipment improvements, trucking equipment and other related and strategic corporate projects. During 2008 we incurred significant capital expenditures for transportation assets, including tankers and offshore vessels. During 2011 and the coming years, we expect to incur capital expenditures on transportation assets in all of our business segments.

Securitization Facility

Under the terms of its prior securitization facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries sold receivables to a trust, which in turn, issued certificates to investors. For accounting purposes, the securitization facility represents the total U.S. dollar amount of future services to be provided to customers under the securitization facility. The balance due under this securitization facility was approximately $74.9 million as of December 31, 2004, at an annual fixed interest rate of 9.25%. The facility contemplated the restriction of cash for the purposes of securing any potential payment defaults. The balance of restricted cash under this facility as of December 31, 2004 was $6.8 million.

On April 5, 2005, there was approximately $70.5 million of aggregate principal amount and interest on outstanding certificates under the securitization facility, which was paid by the Company on such date using the cash proceeds received from the sale of Grupo TFM to KCS. See Item 4. “Information on the Company — Recent Developments — Disposition of Grupo TMM’s interest in Grupo TFM to KCS.”

On September 25, 2006, the Company entered into the Securitization Facility with Deutsche Bank, AG for $200 million, at an annual fixed interest rate of approximately 12.5%, using many of the structural features of the previous securitization transactions.

On October 15, 2007, the Company prepaid 50 million certificates at a price of $52 million with the proceeds of the settlement with KCS.

As of December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance under the Securitization Facility was $130.9 million bearing a fixed annual rate of approximately 12.5%. Under this securitization facility we were required to keep $4.6 million of restricted cash on hand as of December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding balance under the Securitization Facility was $116 million bearing a fixed annual rate of approximately 12.5%. Under this securitization facility we were required to keep $4.7 million of reserves in cash on hand as of December 31, 2008.

On December 18, 2009, as part of the restructuring of the Company’s Securitization Facility, VEX, an affiliate of the Company, purchased certificates with a face value of $86.5 million (approximately $1.1287 billion pesos). VEX is a Mexican company in which José F. Serrano Segovia (our principal stockholder and Chairman of our Board of Directors) holds a minority equity interest and controls 100% of the voting stock; the remaining equity interest in VEX is held by related and unrelated investors through non-voting shares (see Note 19 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein).

In addition, as part of the restructuring, certain conditions of the Securitization Facility were modified. Among others, the logistics division subsidiaries (TMM Logistics, S.A. de C.V. and Lacto Comercial Organizada, S.A. de C.V.) were released from the Facility and consequently the accounts receivable generated by these subsidiaries will no longer be assigned to the Trust. See Item 4. “Information on the Company — Recent Developments — Restructuring of Receivables Securitization Facility and Associated Capital Increase.”

Product Tanker and Offshore Vessel Financings

As of December 31, 2006, we had an aggregate principal amount of $56 million outstanding under a five-year loan facility with Natixis (formerly Natixis Banques Populaires) which matures in 2010. Proceeds from this loan facility were used to purchase two medium-range class, double-hull product tankers which are serving Pemex under five-year bareboat charter contracts and related technical management agreements. The obligations under this

indebtedness are payable in Dollars and the aggregate cost of the facility is approximately 8% fixed. As of December 31, 2006 we had an aggregate principal amount of $110.1 million outstanding under various loan facilities with DZ Bank AG, the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and West LB AG with maturities ranging from 4 to 7 years and fixed interest costs ranging from 8.1% to 8.6% (See Note 13 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein). On July 19, 2007, the Company refinanced all of these facilities with the first issuance of its Trust Certificates Program. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding product tankers and offshore vessels financings other than under its Trust Certificates Program.

Capital Leases

The amounts outstanding under our capital leases represent payment obligations under a capital lease agreement, which matured in May 2005 for the financing of a container-handling crane. The agreement contained standard provisions for this type of transaction under which, among other things, we had the option to purchase the financed assets at the end of the lease term at a previously determined price. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding capital lease obligations.

Transportation Equipment and Other Operating Leases

We lease, transportation and container-handling equipment, our corporate office building and other assets under agreements which are classified as operating leases. The terms of these lease agreements vary from 1 to 15 years and contain standard provisions for these types of operating agreements.

Grupo TMM 9 1/2% Notes due 2003 and Grupo TMM 10 1/4% Senior Notes due 2006

We issued the Grupo TMM 9¹/2% Notes due 2003 (the “2003 Notes”) on May 15, 1993, in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, of which approximately $176.9 million in aggregate principal amount as outstanding as of August 10, 2004. The 2003 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture between us and Citibank, N.A. as trustee, and they accrued interest at a rate of 9¹/2% per annum. The 2003 Notes were unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, ranked pari passu in right of payment with all of our then existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, and were senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated indebtedness.

We issued our 2006 Notes on November 15, 1996, in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, of which approximately $2.9 million as outstanding as of December 31, 2005. The 2006 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture between us and The Bank of New York as trustee, and accrued interest at a rate of 10¹/4% per annum. We were required to make interest payments on the 2006 Notes every May 15^th and November 15^th until maturity. The 2006 Notes matured on November 15, 2006 and were unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, ranked pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, and were senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated indebtedness.

The 2003 Notes matured on May 15, 2003, and on such date the Company defaulted on its obligation to pay the principal amount and accrued unpaid interest on such notes and the accrued unpaid interest on its 2006 Notes. As a result, the Company began negotiations with a representative committee of holders of 2003 Notes and 2006 Notes, engaging the firms of Miller, Buckfire, Lewis LLC (now Miller, Buckfire LLC) and Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP as its financial and legal advisors, respectively, in the United States; and the firms Elek, Moreno-Valle y Asociados, S.C. and Quijano, Cortina, Lopez y De la Torre, S.C. as its financial and legal advisors, respectively, in Mexico. The Company also supported the creation of an ad hoc committee of holders of 2003 Notes and 2006 Notes, who engaged Houlihan, Lokey, Howard & Zukin and Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld as its financial and legal advisors, respectively, in the United States; and Franck, Galicia y Robles, S.C. (now Galicia y Robles, S.C.) as the committee’s legal advisors in Mexico.

After several months of negotiations, on August 11, 2004, Grupo TMM completed the Exchange Offer of its 2007 Notes upon the closing of a private exchange offer, which closed simultaneously with a public exchange offer for the Company’s 2003 and 2006 Notes. Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, an aggregate amount of $170.7 million or approximately 96.5% of the 2003 Notes and an aggregate amount of $197.1 million or approximately 98.6% of the 2006 Notes were tendered. Holders of the 2003 and 2006 Notes who tendered their respective 2003 and 2006 Notes

pursuant to the Exchange Offer received approximately $459.5 million aggregate principal amount of Senior 2007 Notes. On August 11, 2004, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, substantially all of the restrictive covenants under the 2006 Notes were eliminated.

On August 11, 2004, the Company also completed a private placement of approximately $6.5 million in principal amount of 2007 Notes to Promotora Servia, an affiliate of certain members of the Serrano family and $13.7 million in principal amount of 2007 Notes to J.B. Hunt, Inc. Both private placements were accepted as consideration for the cancellation of then current obligations of the Company to these parties. Additionally, on such date, with a portion of the net proceeds of a simultaneous placement of $29 million in principal amount of 2007 Notes to certain members of the ad hoc committee of holders of 2003 Notes and 2006 Notes, the Company paid: (i) $7.2 million in cash with respect to the principal amount of all of the 2003 Notes that were not tendered in the Exchange Offer; (ii) $0.4 million in cash of accrued and unpaid interest on the 2006 Notes that were not tendered in the Exchange Offer; and (iii) financial advisory and other related expenses of the Exchange Offer.

On November 15, 2006, the Company paid the outstanding balance of $2.9 million in principal and $0.15 million in accrued interest in full on the 2006 Notes that were not tendered in the Exchange Offer.

Grupo TMM Senior Secured Notes due 2007

The 2007 Notes represented a three-year senior secured (by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its material subsidiaries) obligation (extendable to four years at the option of the Company under certain circumstances), for an initial principal amount of $508,703,000 and with an initial annual interest rate of 10.5% if interest was paid entirely in cash, or of 12% if the Company elected to pay the interest due in a combination of a minimum of 2% annually in cash and the remainder in kind (through the issuance of additional 2007 Notes or Company ADSs).

On January 17, 2006, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of 18 million shares of Kansas City Southern stock for an aggregate gross cash consideration of $400.5 million to redeem a partial amount of the 2007 Notes. As a result of this partial redemption, the interest rate payable on the 2007 Notes was reduced to 9.50%. On May 15, 2006, the Company made another partial redemption of $1.1 million of the 2007 Notes, resulting in an aggregate outstanding balance of $155.8 million.

On September 25, 2006, with the proceeds from the Securitization Facility, the Company redeemed the balance of $155.8 million of 2007 Notes in full. The total amount paid by the Company, including principal, accrued interest, fees and other expenses as contemplated under the indenture of the 2007 Notes was $159.9 million.

Purchase of Two Chemical Tankers

On May 25, 2007 the Company purchased the M/T “Maya” and purchased the M/T “Olmeca” on June 19, 2007. We entered into a 10-year line of credit with DVB Bank A.G. in an aggregate amount of $52.5 million to finance the acquisition of these chemical tankers. Principal and interest are payable on a monthly basis. Interest is payable at an weighted average rate of 7.61% per annum.

Mexican Peso-Denominated Trust Certificates Program

We closed our first, second and third issuances of trust certificates under the program on July 19, 2007, April 30, 2008, and July 1, 2008, in an amount of 3 billion Pesos, 1.55 billion Pesos, and 4.39 billion Pesos, respectively. Our first issuance was used primarily to refinance existing vessel indebtedness. Our second issuance was and our third issuance will mainly be used to finance the acquisition of new and used vessels.

The total program amount of trust certificates will be issued in separate tranches, secured by a lien on identified vessels for each tranche.

Auto Haulage Financing

On July 19, 2007, we purchased certain auto haulage operating assets from Auto Convoy Mexicano, S.A. de C.V., a former Mexican auto hauling company, for an aggregate purchase price of 429 million Pesos. These auto haulage operating assets were incorporated in our logistics division and commenced operations in September 2007.

The Company entered into a financing facility denominated in Pesos with Daimler Financial Services Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (formerly known as DC Automotriz Servicios, S. de R.L. de C.V.) (“Daimler”) to finance the purchase of these assets in July 2007, for $11.4 million, with 84 monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on January 2008. Interest is payable at a variable rate based on the 91-day TIIE plus 200 basis points. As of December 31, 2009, the facility had an outstanding amount of $8.1 million.

In August of 2009, an agreement was reached with Daimler through which the outstanding amount of the facility was reduced by approximately $3.0 million ($39.4 million pesos).

Other Debt

In June 2009, the Company secured with Banco Nacional de Comercio Exterior, S.N.C., Institución de Banca de Desarrollo, through its subsidiary TMM División Marítima, S.A. de C.V., a line of credit in dollars for working capital and/or current accounts for $25.0 million (approximately $326.1 million pesos) at a variable rate, maturing in June 2015. Monthly interest payments are due on outstanding balances and principal is due at maturity. Amounts may be drawn in both dollars and pesos with the possibility of making prepayments on principal without penalty. In July 2009, a first draw was made on the line of credit for $6.9 million (approximately $90.0 million pesos) at a variable rate of the 30-day Libor plus 600 basis points, with monthly interest payments. As of December 31, 2009, the effective rate for this draw on the line of credit was 6.23% and the outstanding balance was $3.9 million (approximately $50.9 million pesos).

In November 2009, a second draw was made on the line of credit for approximately $10.2 million ($132.9 million pesos) at a variable rate of the 28-day TIIE plus 400 basis points, with monthly interest payments. As of December 31, 2009, the effective rate for this draw on the line of credit was 8.91% with an outstanding balance of approximately $10.2 million ($132.9 million pesos).

In December 2009, a third draw was made on the line of credit for approximately $0.9 million ($11.9 million pesos) at a variable rate of the 28-day TIIE plus 400 basis points, with monthly interest payments. As of December 31, 2009, the effective rate for this draw on the line of credit was 8.91% with an outstanding balance of approximately $0.9 million ($11.9 million pesos).

In November 2009, the Company secured with Banco Mercantil del Norte, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, through its subsidiary Ficorsa Corporate Services, S.A.P.I de C.V., a special purpose company, a line of credit in Mexican pesos in two tranches, one for working capital and the second for the issuance of letters of credit, for a total of approximately $16.5 million ($215.0 million pesos), maturing in November 2012, at a variable rate with monthly interest payments.

In December 2009, a first draw was made for approximately $1.3 million ($17.1 million pesos) at a variable rate of the 28-day TIIE plus 4.00%, with monthly interest payments. As of December 31, 2009, the effective rate on this draw on the line of credit was 4.93% with an outstanding balance of approximately $1.3 million ($17.1 million pesos).

Also in December 2009, a first draw was made for the issue of a letter of credit for $1.9 million (approximately $25.3 million pesos) maturing February 11, 2010. The issuance of this letter of credit does not create any payment obligation for the borrower until the holder of the documents presents this for enforcement, accordingly no outstanding balance or effective rate for this portion of the line of credit is reported as of December 31, 2009.

Trend Information

Historically, a substantial portion of the revenue generated by our maritime operations has been achieved through contracts with PEMEX. In, 2007, 2008 and 2009, 56%, 57% and 58%, respectively, of the revenue generated by maritime operations resulted from contracts with PEMEX. We believe that we will further increase our revenues in this business segment going forward. PEMEX is expected to increase its deep water exploration in order to restore its decreasing oil reserves; as a result, we expect an increase in PEMEX demand for different types of vessels on the offshore sector.

The future success of our logistics business depends upon our ability to enter into contracts with large automotive manufacturers, retail and consumer goods companies and to become a supplier for Government entities, providing integrated logistics and shipping services. Our primary skills that make us competitive are: (i) our logistics expertise, (ii) our ability to continue developing warehousing, logistics and other land transportation infrastructure, and (iii) our ability to provide state-of-the-art systems to provide logistics solutions. In July 2004 TFM (now KCSM) entered into a contract with Ford Motor Co. and subcontracted the services thereunder to TMM Logistics for the execution of this agreement. This automotive logistics contract was terminated on March 31, 2006, resulting in a reduction in our logistics business revenues.

We have refinanced most of the debt related to vessel acquisitions with the first issuance of our Trust Certificates Program reduced the corresponding debt service obligations and extended the term of our vessel financings. The ability to satisfy our obligations under our debt in the future will depend upon our future performance, including our ability to increase revenues significantly and control expenses. Future operating performance depends upon prevailing economic, financial, business and competitive conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our ability to refinance our debt and take other actions will depend on, among other things, our financial condition at the time, the restrictions in the instruments governing our debt and other factors, including market conditions, the macroeconomic environment and such variables as the Peso/dollar exchange rate and benchmark money market rates in Pesos and dollars, which are beyond our control.

We have funded capital expenditures with funds from operating cash flows and expect to seek additional financing through secured credit arrangements and asset-backed financings for additional capital expenditures as we have been doing with our Trust Certificates Program described above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. We report our assets and liabilities according to the current IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Statutory Auditor

Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law (MSML), the surveillance of the Company is entrusted to different committees (i.e., Audit and Corporate Practices Committees), as previously described, which replace the role of the Statutory Auditor. At the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 20, 2006, the Statutory Auditor, Mr. Javier García Sabaté, and the alternate Statutory Auditor were duly replaced by the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee of the Company. However, Mr. Javier García Sabaté and the alternate Statutory Auditor continue to serve as the Statutory Auditor for the majority of our subsidiaries excluding our Logistics division subsidiaries.

Employees

As of March 31, 2010, we had 5,882 employees, approximately 76% of whom were unionized. As of December 31, 2009, we had 5,605 employees, approximately 79% of whom were unionized. As of December 31, 2008, we had 6,470 employees, approximately 76% of whom were unionized. As of December 31, 2007, we had 6,861 employees, approximately 80% of whom were unionized.

In accordance with customary practice in Mexico, we negotiate union contracts annually with regard to wages and every two years with regard to other matters, including benefits. We have experienced nine strikes since 1958. The longest of these strikes occurred in 1981 and lasted 21 days. We have not experienced a strike since 1987 and believe that relations with our employees are good.

Share Ownership

As of June 22, 2010, the Serrano Segovia family held 37,990,693 Shares directly, and the CPO Trustee maintained 40,368,040 Shares of our capital stock in the form of ADSs, including 3,226,500 Shares that are beneficially owned by the Serrano Segovia family. Accordingly, as of such date, the Serrano Segovia family controlled the voting power of our capital stock. The voting power controlled by the Serrano Segovia family varies from time to time, depending upon the number of Shares held by the Serrano Segovia family and by the CPO Trust and others. As of June 22, 2010, other than as set forth below in the table entitled “Major Shareholders,” each of our other directors, alternate directors or executive officers owns less than one percent of our Shares on an individual basis.

Shares were contributed to the CPO Trust established with a 30-year term by Nacional Financiera, S.N.C. (the “CPO Trustee”) on November 24, 1989. The CPO Trustee authorized the issuance of non-redeemable ordinary participation certificates (certificados de participación ordinarios no amortizables) (“CPOs”) that correspond to our Shares. One CPO may be issued for each Share contributed to the CPO Trust. CPOs constitutes separate negotiable instruments different and apart from the Shares, and afford to their holders only economic rights with respect to the Shares held in the CPO Trust. Such voting rights are exercisable only by the CPO Trustee, which is required by the terms of the CPO Trust to vote such Shares in the same manner as holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares not held in the CPO Trust and voted at the relevant meeting. Mexican and non-Mexican investors may hold CPOs without restrictions of any kind. The acquisition of Shares representing 5% or more of the capital stock of Grupo TMM by any person or group of persons (other than the Serrano Segovia family and the CPO Trustee), in one or a series of simultaneous or successive transactions requires the prior approval of the Board of Directors. As of June 22, 2010, the CPO Trustee held CPOs underlying an aggregate of 40,368,040 Shares in the form of ADSs.

The voting rights for those Shares are exercisable only by the trustee of the CPO Trust, which is required by the terms of the trust agreement to vote such Shares at any shareholders’ meeting in the same manner as the majority of the Shares that are not held in the CPO Trust are voted. Of the 61,626,601 Shares held outside of the CPO Trust as of June 22, 2010, José and Ramón Serrano Segovia beneficially own 37,990,693, or 62% of such Shares. As a result, José and Ramón Serrano Segovia could together direct and control the policies of the Company and its subsidiaries, including mergers, sales of assets and similar transactions. See Item 9. “The Offer and Listing.” Except for the limited voting rights applicable to their ADSs, none of the Major Shareholders have voting rights that differ from those applicable to other holders of Shares.

Other than José and Ramón Serrano Segovia, who may be deemed to control us, to our knowledge we are not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any other corporation, by any foreign government or by any other natural or legal person, severally or jointly. We are not aware of any arrangement which may at a later date result in a change of control of the Company.

On December 18, 2009, as part of the restructuring of the Company’s Securitization Facility, VEX, an affiliate of the Company, purchased trust certificates issued under the Securitization Facility with a face value of $86.5 million (approximately $1.1287 billion pesos). VEX is a Mexican company in which José Serrano Segovia holds a minority equity interest and controls 100% of the voting stock; the remaining equity interest in VEX is held by related and unrelated investors through non-voting shares (see Note 19 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein). The transaction with VEX was approved by the Board of Directors of Grupo TMM, on the basis of a prior approval by the Auditing and Corporate Governance Committee, which received an independent expert’s fairness opinion on the consideration and other terms and conditions of the transaction.

Pursuant to a resolution adopted at the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 15, 2009 and with the authorization of the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, on January 6, 2010, VEX acquired 46,797,404 Shares for an aggregate subscription price of $41,181,715.53, or $0.88 per Share (equivalent to $4.40 per ADS).

Legal Proceedings

Dispute with Kansas City Southern

On April 1, 2005, we finalized the sale of our interest in Grupo TFM to KCS, which comprised the remaining portion of our railroad operations segment. As consideration for the sale of our interest in Grupo TFM to KCS, Grupo TMM received $200 million in cash and 18 million shares of KCS common stock, which were sold for approximately $400.5 million.

In addition to the $200.0 million in cash and 18 million shares of KCS stock that were delivered to the Company under the terms of the AAA on April 1, 2005, KCS also delivered in escrow an Indemnity Escrow Note for $47 million due June 1, 2007, which provided insurance against material breaches or misrepresentations by the Company of its obligations under the AAA. Pursuant to the terms of the AAA, on January 29, 2007, KCS notified the Company of its intention to assert certain claims under Section 10 of the AAA seeking indemnification against the Indemnity Escrow Note. On January 31, 2007, the Company notified KCS of claims that it intended to assert against KCS for breaches under the AAA and other related agreements.

On May 15, 2007, KCS filed a demand for arbitration seeking indemnification against the Indemnity Escrow Note. The Company also filed a demand for arbitration seeking indemnification for certain claims against KCS. Subsequently, KCS, Grupo TMM and TMM Logistics entered into a Settlement Agreement and settled and released all claims asserted against each other. Under the terms of the settlement, KCS paid Grupo TMM $54.1 million in cash and the obligations of KCS under the Indemnity Escrow Note and the Tax Escrow Note, which would have been payable in 2010, were terminated. As a result of this settlement, all disputes between KCS, Grupo TMM and TMM Logistics were fully and finally settled.

SSA Claims

On March 6, 2009, the Arbitral Tribunal resolved the claim submitted to arbitration, and ordered Grupo TMM to pay SSA Ps. 30,837,071, plus interest at a 6% annual rate from November 8, 2006.

In June 2010, SSA obtained a favorable ruling in its tax proceeding. In the event the ruling is confirmed, Grupo TMM will not be required to pay the arbitration award to SSA.

Refined Product Services (“RPS”) Claim

On August 7, 2007, Transportación Maritima Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“TMM”) filed a claim for arbitration against RPS for the amount of $50,000 for various expenses incurred by TMM due to the delay of the delivery of the tanker vessel Palenque.

On October 19, 2007, RPS filed a countersuit for $3 million, alleging that TMM failed to maintain the tanker vessel Palenque, and also filed a claim for consequential damages for losing a contract while the vessel was being repaired. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, we believe this claim to be without merit and intend to defend this proceeding vigorously.

Mutual Claims Between Worldwide Services, Ltd. (“WWS”) and TMM

In December 2007, TMM and WWS filed claims against each other relating to the charter by us of the vessel Veracruz. TMM’s $342,500 claim related to the fuel costs and low performance of the vessel Veracruz, and WWS’ $1.3 million counter claim alleged that the same vessel overperformed and that consequently, TMM owes WWS under the terms of the charter contract. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, we believe this claim to be without merit and intend to defend this proceeding vigorously.

Mutual Claims Between Pacific Bridgefield Marine Pte. Ltd. (“PBM”) and Grupo TMM

Grupo TMM is a claimant in two arbitrations with PBM, a Singapore company. The arbitrations are conducted under the Singapore International Arbitration Centre Rules and relate to alleged breaches by PBM of two Memoranda of Agreements (“MOAs”) for the sale of two vessels. Grupo TMM is seeking recovery of the deposits paid for the two vessels in the sum of $5.15 million and damages for breaches of the MOAs. PBM alleges that Grupo TMM is in breach of the MOAs and is seeking a declaration that it is entitled to the deposits and damages for breach of the MOAs. The time period for the parties to file their pleadings in the arbitration has ended and the parties are currently in the process of discovery and preparation of witness statements.

Outside legal counsel states that it is difficult to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome as there is still a waiting period for discovery to be completed. The amount of potential loss to Grupo TMM would be the deposit of $5.15 million and damages which PBM claims it has suffered, of which no particulars have been provided.

Other Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various other legal proceedings and administrative actions, all of which are of an ordinary or routine nature and incidental to our operations. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, in the opinion of our management, such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. For information regarding our pending tax assessment, see Note 26 to the accompanying Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.

Dividends

At shareholders’ meetings, shareholders have the ability, in their discretion, to approve dividends from time to time. At the ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on April 24, 1997, the shareholders of our predecessor, TMM, declared a dividend, which has not yet been paid, equivalent to $0.17 per share, subject to restrictions established by instruments governing our outstanding debt obligations and to the availability of funds. At the shareholders’ meeting that declared such dividend, the shareholders delegated to the Board of Directors the authority to determine when the dividend may be paid.

Significant Changes

See Item 4. “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Recent Developments.”

ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING

Trading

Our Series A Shares started trading on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A. de C.V. (the “Mexican Stock Exchange” or the “Bolsa”) on September 24, 1980 and our Series L Shares began trading on August 9, 1991. In June 1992, L Share ADSs, each representing one Series L Share, were issued by Citibank, N.A. as depositary in exchange for Rule 144A ADSs as part of an initial public offering, and commenced trading on the NYSE. On September 13, 2002, we completed a reclassification of our Series L Shares of stock as Series A Shares. The reclassification combined our two classes of stock into a single class by converting each share of our Series L Shares into one share of our Series A Shares. The reclassification also eliminated the variable portion of our capital stock and we became a fixed capital corporation (sociedad anónima). Following the reclassification, we had 56,963,137 Series A Shares outstanding. As a result of the elimination of the variable portion of our capital stock, our registered name changed from Grupo TMM, S.A. de C.V. to Grupo TMM, S.A.

As a result of the promulgation of the new securities law in Mexico in June of 2006, public companies were transformed by operation of law into Sociedades Anónimas Bursátiles (Public Issuing Corporation) and were required to amend their bylaws to conform them to the provisions of the new law. On December 20, 2006, the Company added the term “Bursátil” to its registered name to comply with the requirements under Mexico’s new securities law or Ley del Mercado de Valores, resulting in Grupo TMM, Sociedad Anónima Bursátil, or Grupo TMM, S.A.B. In addition, the Series A Shares of the Company were renamed and are now referred to as nominative common shares, without par value (“Shares”). The rights afforded by these new Shares are identical to the rights afforded by the former Series A Shares.

Our Shares continue to trade in Mexico on the Bolsa. In the United States, our ADSs, each representing five CPOs, are traded on the NYSE and are issued and exchanged by The Bank of New York Mellon in New York as the depositary. The Bank of New York Mellon replaced Citibank, N.A. as depositary on December 18, 2009. As of June 22, 2010, of the 101,994,641 outstanding Shares, approximately 40,368,040 were held in the form of ADSs.

The CPOs do not trade independently of the Shares on the Bolsa. In the event that CPOs are sold to a Mexican national, the Shares underlying such CPOs will be delivered directly to the purchaser through S.D. Indeval, S.A. de C.V. (“Indeval”). Indeval is a privately owned central securities depositary that acts as a clearing house, depositary, custodian, settlement, and transfer agent and registration institution for Mexican Stock Exchange transactions, eliminating the need for physical transfer of securities. Because non-Mexican nationals cannot acquire direct interests in the Shares, in the event that the purchaser of such Shares is not a Mexican national, such Shares must be delivered in the form of CPOs through Indeval.

Limitations Affecting ADS Holders and CPO Holders

Each Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote at any of our shareholders’ meetings. Holders of CPOs are not entitled to vote the Shares underlying such CPOs. Such voting rights are exercisable only by the CPO Trustee, which is required to vote all such Shares in the same manner as the holders of a majority of the Shares that are not held in the CPO Trust and that are voted at the relevant meeting.

Whenever a shareholders’ meeting approves a change of corporate purpose, change of domicile or restructuring from one type of corporate form to another, any shareholder who has voted against such change or restructuring has the right to withdraw as a shareholder and receive an amount equal to the book value of its shares (in accordance with our latest balance sheet approved by the annual ordinary general shareholders’ meeting), provided such shareholder exercises its right to withdraw during the 15-day period following the meeting at which such change or restructuring was approved. Because the CPO Trustee is required to vote the Shares held in the CPO Trust in the

same manner as the holders of a majority of the Shares that are not held in the CPO Trust and that are voted at the relevant meeting, appraisal rights will not be available to holders of CPOs.

The tables below set forth, for the periods indicated, the reported high and low prices on the Mexican Stock Exchange and on the NYSE for the Shares and the ADSs, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

On December 14, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had given its approval to constitute a reserve fund to repurchase Shares during their meeting held in November of that year. The Share repurchase program was also approved by the Company’s shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting. The program was approved for an amount of up to $10 million.

The Company has repurchased 1,765,900 Shares under the program since its approval in 2007. As of June 22, 2010, of the 101,994,641 outstanding Shares, 40,368,040 were held in the form of ADSs.

The NYSE Continued Listing Standards; Reverse Split of ADSs

In accordance with Sections 801 and 802 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, a company is considered below criteria if it triggers any one of the following three standards:

	•		its average market capitalization is less than $75 million over a 30-trading day period and stockholders’ equity is less than $75 million;

	•		its average market capitalization is less than $25 million over a 30-trading day period; or

	•		its average closing price of a security is less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30-trading day period.

On October 17, 2008, the Company received an official notice from the NYSE, pursuant to which the Company was informed that it was “below criteria” in connection with the applicable NYSE continued listing standard that states that if the average closing price of a security is less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30-trading day period, it is considered below criteria.

As of such date, the Company had a six-month period to cure this deficiency so it could remain listed on the NYSE. On February 26, 2009, the NYSE submitted to the SEC an immediately effective rule filing which suspended the NYSE’s $1.00 minimum price requirement on a temporary basis, initially through June 30, 2009 and later extended to July 31, 2009.

The temporary suspension of the $1.00 minimum price requirement stated that companies trading below the $1.00 minimum price criteria that did not regain compliance during the suspension period would recommence their compliance period upon reinstitution of the stock price continued listing standard and receive the remaining balance of their compliance period.

Additionally, companies below the $1.00 minimum price criteria during the rule suspension period, would be deemed to have regained compliance during this period if:

	1.		At the end of their respective six-month cure period, as established prior to this rule’s suspension, they have a $1.00 closing share price on both the last trading day of the period and based on the preceding 30 trading days; and/or

	2.		At the end of any calendar month during the suspension they have a $1.00 closing share price on both the last trading day of such month and based on the 30 trading days preceding the end of such month.

In order to comply with the NYSE’s minimum price requirement, on August 24, 2009 we changed our ADS ratio from one ADS for every one CPO to one ADS for every five CPOs. All fractional entitlements of the Company’s ADS holders resulting from the reverse split were aggregated and sold by Citibank, N.A., the depositary at that time, on behalf of the ADS holders, and cash proceeds were distributed to the ADS holders in proportion to their fractional interests. There was no change to the Company’s CPOs or the underlying nominative common shares. For our ADS holders, the ratio change had the same effect as a one-for-five reverse stock split and thereby increased the listing price of our ADSs. As of the close of business on June 18, 2010, the closing price of our ADSs was $2.50.

Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed by the Board of Directors and by a General Director. The Board of Directors consists of not more than 21 nor fewer than seven persons, provided that at least 25% of the directors are independent. Our directors are elected annually at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting. The Board of Directors shall always have a Chairman, a First Vice-Chairman and a Second Vice-Chairman and other Directors.

The directors (whenever elected) shall remain in office for the period of time stated below, calculated from the date of their appointment. The directors may be re-elected and, in case of the failure to appoint their substitute or if the designated substitute does not take office, the directors in office being substituted shall continue to perform their duties for up to 30 calendar days following the date of expiry of the term for which they were appointed:

Other Directors		1 year Except that in no event whatsoever shall more than one third (1/3) of the member directors be replaced for any fiscal year of the Company.

In the event of the permanent absence of the Chairman or of any of the Vice-Chairmen, the Board of Directors, at the first meeting held after said permanent absence shall temporarily appoint from among its members or persons outside the same, the director or directors that shall fill relevant vacancies. Also, in the event of resignation or permanent absence of any of the other directors, the Board of Directors shall make the appointments of temporary directors as may be required for the continuance of the Board’s integration and duties. In both cases, a General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting shall be called as soon as possible to ratify or make definitive appointments of the relevant directors and, in any case, in the absence of said call, the first General Shareholders’ Meeting held after any of said events shall carry out the final appointment.

The Board of Directors shall appoint a Secretary and a Deputy Secretary, who shall not be a part of the Board of Directors. Said Secretary and Deputy Secretary may at any time be removed by the Board of Directors and their temporary and final absences shall be covered by the persons appointed by the Board of Directors. Despite the fact that the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary are not members of the Board of Directors of the Company, they may sign jointly or severally and instruct the publication of any call to the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company ordered or resolved by the Board of Directors or the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee.

The meetings of the Board of Directors may be ordinary or extraordinary. The ordinary meetings shall be held periodically on the dates and times designated by such Board of Directors, provided that such Board of Directors meets at least 4 times during each fiscal year. The extraordinary meetings shall be held when the Chairman of the Board of Directors determines or at the request of 25% of the directors. The Board of Directors shall meet at the Company’s registered office or at any other place in Mexico or abroad as determined beforehand in the respective call. The meetings of the Board of Directors shall be presided over by the Chairman and in his absence, by the alternate Chairman and, in the absence of the alternate Chairman, by any director designated by the directors present at the meeting in question, by a majority of votes.

In order for a Board of Directors meeting to be valid, at least half of the directors that make up the Board of Directors from time to time must be in attendance and the Chairman and a Vice-Chairman shall always and in any event be in attendance. If a meeting of the Board of Directors may not be held due to the lack of quorum or the absence of the Chairman and a Vice-Chairman, the call shall be repeated as many times as needed. In order for the resolutions of the Board of Directors to be valid, the favorable vote of the majority of the directors present at the meeting in question is required. In the event of a tie, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or his alternate, as applicable, shall have the tie-breaking vote.

For resolutions of the Board of Directors to be valid in connection with the matters listed below, the favorable vote of (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors and (ii) the First Vice-Chairman or the Second Vice-Chairman is required. The following matters shall be decided upon exclusively by the Board of Directors of the Company:

	1.		The approval and/or modification of the annual budget, which must be approved for each fiscal year of the Company;

	2.		The imposition or creation of any lien on any of the assets of the Company and/or of the corporations controlled by the Company, or the resolution of the Company and/or of the corporations controlled by the Company, to guarantee obligations of the Company and/or of its subsidiaries, or to guarantee obligations of third parties, in all of said cases, when the value of any of said transactions involves in a single act or in a series of related acts, an amount equal to or higher than five percent of the total consolidated assets of the Company during a calendar year;

	3.		The decision to begin a new business line or the suspension of any business line developed by the Company or by any corporation in which the Company participates, either directly or indirectly;

	4.		Any decision related to the acquisition or sale of assets (including shares or equity interests or their equivalent, in any corporation controlled or not controlled by the Company or in which the Company has a significant share, or to any financing and/or the creation of any liens, when the value of any of said

			transactions involves in a single act or in a series of related acts, an amount equal to or higher than five percent of the total consolidated assets of the Company during a calendar year;

	5.		The determination of the manner in which the Company shall exercise its voting rights regarding shares or equity interests (or their equivalent) issued by its subsidiaries or entities in which the Company owns at least 20% of the capital stock thereof; and

	6.		The establishment of any committee of the Company other than the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee.

The Board of Directors shall primarily have the duty of establishing general strategies for the direction of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and that of overseeing the management and direction of the same and the performance of the relevant managers or officers. Such Board may establish one or more committees. In any event, the Company shall establish one or more committees in charge of the duties of audit and corporate practices.

General Director

The General Director, or Chief Executive Officer, shall be in charge of the day-to-day management of the Company, the direction and execution of the businesses of the Company and of its subsidiaries, subject to the strategies, policies and guidelines approved by the Board of Directors or, as the case may be, by committees created pursuant to the corporate Bylaws.

In order to fulfill his duties, the General Director shall have the powers granted to him by the Board of Directors at the time of his appointment or at any other time after his appointment. For the exercise of his duties and activities and the fulfillment of his obligations, the General Director shall be assisted by all the relevant managers and other employees of the Company and of the corporations controlled by the Company.

Audit and Corporate Practices Committee

The Board of Directors of the Company must establish a committee to carry out the audit and corporate practices functions that shall be integrated by at least three independent directors appointed by the Board of Directors, which members are proposed by the Chairman. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Chairman of the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee must be appointed and/or removed from his position exclusively by the General Shareholders’ Meeting and he must always be an independent director. The Chairman of the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee in no event whatsoever may preside over the Board of Directors.

The oversight of the management, direction and execution of the business of the Company and of its subsidiaries shall be entrusted to the Board of Directors through the aforementioned Audit and Corporate Practices Committee, as well as through the individuals or corporations that carry out the external audit of the Company for each fiscal year.

Capital Stock

To conform to the provisions of the new Mexican Securities Law, our Series A Shares of capital stock were converted into nominative common shares without par value (“Shares”), thereby deleting any series. The rights of the Series A Shares and the Shares are identical.

Consequently, our total capital stock is made up of 103,760,541 Shares, of which 1,765,900 are held in treasury. Our total stated capital stock is Ps. 1,222,011,712.00.

Registration and Transfer

All Shares are evidenced by share certificates in registered form. Mexican law requires that all shares be represented by a certificate, although a single certificate may represent multiple shares of stock. Certificates may be issued in the name of the registered holder. All of our share certificates are issued in the name of the registered

holder. Mexican law also requires that all transfers, encumbrances and liens on nominative shares must be recorded in the share registry book and are only enforceable against us and third parties after such registration occurs. S.D. Indeval, S.A. de C.V. (“Indeval”) is the registrar and transfer agent for the Shares held in book-entry form. A global certificate representing all Shares in book entry form is deposited at Indeval. Shareholders holding their share certificates directly are required to be recorded as such by the secretary of the Company in our share registry book.

Shareholders’ Meetings

Shareholders are entitled to vote on all matters at ordinary or special shareholders’ meetings. The Board of Directors will convene an Annual Shareholders’ Meeting at least once a year on the date determined by the Board of Directors within the first four months following the end of the fiscal year. In addition to dealing with the matters included on the agenda, the shareholders’ meeting should discuss, approve or modify the report of the Board of Directors, of the General Director and of the committee(s) that carry out the duties of corporate and audit practices, related to (i) the day-to-day conduct of business, (ii) the general balance sheet, (iii) the statement of income and losses, (iv) the statement of changes in financial position, and (v) the statement of the change in shareholders’ equity for such fiscal year. At such meeting directors shall also be appointed as per our Bylaws for the next fiscal year and their compensation shall be determined.

All notices of shareholders’ meetings shall be published once in the official newspaper of the domicile of the Company and in one of the newspapers of major circulation in such domicile, at least 15 days prior to the date scheduled for the meeting to be held. In order for the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meetings to be considered legally convened as a result of the first call, at least half of the capital stock in circulation at that time must be represented thereat, and the resolutions of such meeting shall be valid when passed by a majority of the votes present.

Ordinary Shareholders’ Meetings require the attendance of shareholders holding at least half the shares that have the right to attend such meetings, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders present at any such meeting, in a first call, and in a second call, the affirmative vote of majority holders of shares that have the right to attend any such meeting irrespective of the number of shares presents thereat, in order to take action.

Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings require the attendance of shareholders holding at least 75% of the shares that have the right to attend and vote at any such meetings, and the affirmative vote of at least half the issued and outstanding shares having such voting right, in a first call, and in a second or subsequent call, the attendance and affirmative vote of at least half the issued and outstanding shares having the right to attend and vote at any such meeting in order to take action.

Shareholders may be present or represented by a simple proxy at shareholders’ meetings. Directors and statutory auditors of the Company may not represent any shareholder at any shareholders’ meeting.

In order to attend any meeting, shareholders must obtain an admission card prior to the meeting from Indeval or another financial institution in the United Mexican States or abroad. Such financial institution must notify the Company (telegraphic or facsimile means are authorized) of the name of the depositor, the number of shares deposited and the date on which the deposit was made. Admission cards to shareholders’ meetings may be regularly obtained through authorized brokers in the United Mexican States which, together with the list issued by Indeval, will be sufficient for any shareholder to obtain the corresponding admission card.

Limitation on Share Ownership

Mexican law and our corporate charter prohibit ownership of Shares by foreign investors. Any acquisition of Shares in violation of this charter provision would be null and void.

Any foreigner who acquires any interest or participation in our capital stock through CPOs will be considered a Mexican citizen insofar as Mexican law and we are concerned (except with respect to the right to own Shares) and will be deemed to understand and agree that such foreigner may not invoke the protection of his government in connection with his interest or participation in the Company, under penalty of forfeiture of such interest or participation in favor of the United Mexican States.

We contributed Shares of our capital stock to the Master Neutral Investment Trust (Fideicomiso Maestro de Inversion Neutra) (the “CPO Trust”) established with a 30-year term by Nacional Financiera, S.N.C. (the “CPO Trustee”) on November 24, 1989. The CPO Trustee authorized the issuance of non-redeemable ordinary participation certificates (certificados de participación ordinarios no amortizables) (“CPOs”) that correspond to our Shares. One CPO may be issued for each of our Shares contributed to the CPO Trust. CPOs constitute separate negotiable instruments different and apart from our Shares, and afford to their holders only economic rights attaching to Shares. Consequently, holders of CPOs are not entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares held in the CPO Trust. Such voting rights are exercisable only by the CPO Trustee, which is required by the terms of the CPO Trust to vote such Shares in the same manner as holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares not held in the CPO Trust and voted at the relevant meeting.

Prior to its termination date, the CPO Trustee will sell Shares held by the CPO Trust, and deliver the proceeds thereof to CPO holders in proportion to their respective CPO holdings. Alternatively, we may establish a new trust to enable continued foreign equity participation in the Company. Although, we will endeavor to establish a new trust to substitute the CPO Trust, no assurance can be made that we will in fact establish or be able to establish such new trust.

Mexican and non-Mexican investors may hold CPOs without restrictions of any kind.

We note that because CPOs are negotiable instruments separate and apart from Shares of the Company, holders of CPOs do not qualify as shareholders, and may not exercise the minority rights afforded by the General Law of Mercantile Companies and Mexican Securities Law of the United Mexican States, except for the right to exercise a derivative action for civil liability against the Directors and relevant officers of the Company or its subsidiaries, as further detailed in section entitled “Minority Rights” below.

Acquisition of Share Capital

On December 20, 2006, the Company amended Article 14 of its Bylaws to provide that the consent of the Board of Directors would be required for acquisitions that would result in any person or group of persons acquiring five percent or more of our Shares whether in a single transaction or in several simultaneous or successive transactions, notwithstanding the number of shares that such person may own at such time. If the approved process is not complied with, the acquirer will not be entitled to vote the acquired Shares. The approved process will apply only to direct acquisitions of Shares and not to CPOs and ADSs. In addition, the acquisition of Shares by any Mexican national may also be subject to the applicable provisions of Mexican antitrust laws. The Board is required to resolve with respect to any request for authorization to acquire five percent or more of our Shares within a period of three months following the request and to take into account certain criteria as set forth in our Bylaws that relates to the consequences affecting the Company by such acquisition. Notwithstanding this restriction, in the event of a public offering for the acquisition of 100% of our Shares, no authorization by the Board of Directors in connection with such public offering is necessary and the Board of Directors is required by law to render an opinion related to the terms and conditions of such public offering which opinion is to be rendered pursuant to applicable regulations. Our Bylaws provide that any amendment to the aforementioned provision may only be approved at a General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, at which shares representing five percent or more of the capital stock of the Company have not voted against.

On June 4, 2008, Article 14 of the Company’s Bylaws was further modified at the General Shareholder’s Meeting. These modifications added further restrictions to the acquisition or the transfer of the Company’s shares providing more specific detail with respect to the requirements and authorizations required in order to acquire five percent or more of the Company’s shares.

Rights

1. Applicable to Shareholders, CPOs holders and the CPO Trustee

The shareholder, or group of shareholders representing at least five percent or more of the capital stock, may exercise a derivative action for civil liability against the directors and relevant officers of the Company, provided the

complaint includes the total amount of the liabilities in favor of the Company, its subsidiaries or entities in which the Company owns 20% or more of the capital stock thereof, and not only the personal interest of the petitioners. The assets obtained as a result of the claim shall be for the benefit of the Company, its subsidiaries, or such entities, as applicable.

Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Law, CPOs or ADSs holders, as well as the CPO Trustee, may also exercise the aforementioned civil liability action.

2. Applicable to Shareholders

The shareholder or group of shareholders representing at least 20% or more of the capital stock may oppose in court the resolutions of the General Shareholders’ Meetings, provided (i) the complaint is filed within the 15 days following the adjournment of the Shareholders’ Meeting, (ii) the plaintiffs have not attended the Shareholders’ Meeting or they have cast their vote against the resolution, and (iii) the complaint states the clause of the Company’s Bylaws or of the legal norm violated, as well as a description of the violation. Shareholders exercising such opposition right must deposit their Shares before a Notary Public or an authorized financial institution and their complaint shall be accompanied by evidence of such deposit. Deposited shares may not be withdrawn until a final judgment is rendered.

The shareholder or group of shareholders representing at least 10% of the capital stock shall be entitled to appoint, at the Annual General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held in order to elect directors, a Regular Member and, as the case may be, his respective alternate. The appointment of any director carried out by a minority may only be reversed when all other directors are also removed, unless the removal is attributable to a justified reason according to the applicable law.

Holders of 10% or more of the capital stock of the Company, may require the Chairman of the Board of Directors or of the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee to call a General Shareholders’ Meeting.

The shareholder or group of shareholders representing, at least, 10% of the shares represented at a Shareholders’ Meeting may request that the voting on any matter of which they are not sufficiently informed be postponed and in said case the voting on said matter shall be postponed for three calendar days, without the need for a new call. This right may be exercised only once for the same matter.

In addition, shareholders are entitled to (i) review all information and documents pertaining to the matters for which a Shareholders’ Meeting has been called at the offices of the Company and within at least 15 calendar days of the scheduled date of the meeting; (ii) request that certain relevant issues be dealt with at the meeting that were not originally on the agenda for the meeting, if called for under sundry or general matters in the relevant call for the meeting; (iii) be represented at the meeting by persons designated by them pursuant to standard proxy forms that are to be made available by the Company with at least 15 calendar days prior to the date scheduled for the meeting which will contain the name of the Company, the matters to be discussed at the meeting and spaces for instructions as to the manner of the vote; and (iv) execute agreements between or among different shareholders provided that any such shareholders’ agreement(s) must be disclosed to the Company within five business days following the date of their execution for disclosure thereof to the public through the relevant stock exchanges and disclosure of their existence in the annual reports of the Company, and provided further that such agreements will not affect any voting at any Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company, may not be enforced against the Company and will only be effective among the executing shareholders upon disclosure to the public as aforesaid.

Limitation of Officers’ and Directors’ Liability

In addition to voting for directors at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, shareholders are asked to vote upon the financial statements of the Company and the annual reports of the Board of Directors, the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee, and the General Director. If the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast approve management’s performance, all shareholders are deemed to have released the directors and officers from claims or liability to us or our shareholders arising out of actions taken or any failure to take actions by any of them on our

behalf during the prior fiscal year, with certain exceptions. Officers and directors may not be released from any claims or liability for criminal acts, fraud, self-dealing or gross negligence.

Members of the Board of Directors and the officers of the Company shall not incur, individually or jointly, any responsibility for the damages and/or losses they may cause to the Company or its subsidiaries or of entities in which the Company owns 20% or more of the capital stock thereof, derived from acts executed by, or decisions made, by any of them, to the extent that acting in good faith, any of the following exclusions of responsibility applies:

	(i)		They fulfill the requirements that the Bylaws and the applicable laws may stipulate for the approval of matters to be dealt with by the Board of Directors or, as the case may be, by committees of which they are members.

	(ii)		They make decisions or vote at the meetings of the Board of Directors or, as the case may be, committees to which they belong, based on the information provided by the relevant managers, the corporation providing the external audit services or the independent experts, whose capacity and credibility do not offer a cause for reasonable doubt.

	(iii)		They have selected the most suitable alternative, to the best of their knowledge and belief, or negative property damages had not been foreseeable, in both cases, based on the information available at the time of the decision.

	(iv)		They fulfill the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting, provided these do not violate the law.

We shall indemnify and hold the directors, the General Director and all other relevant managers of the Company or of the mercantile corporations controlled by the Company harmless from all damages and/or losses that their performance may cause to the Company and the corporations controlled by the Company or in which it has a significant influence, except in the event of deceitful acts or acts in bad faith, unlawful acts in accordance with the applicable legislation or whose indemnity, pursuant to said legislation may not be agreed or granted by the Company. For said purposes, we may obtain liability insurance or any similar insurance and grant any bonds and bails that may be necessary or convenient. All legal costs related to the respective defense shall be payable by us against general expenses, which shall only be refunded to the Company by the director in question, the General Director or the relevant manager in question, when required pursuant to a firm court order releasing the Company from its indemnity obligations.

Liquidation Rights

Any liquidation of the Company shall be carried out in the manner provided under the valid General Law of Mercantile Companies. The shareholders’ meeting, in the act of agreeing to the dissolution, should establish the rules that, in addition to the legal provisions and the provisions provided herein, should dictate the actions of the liquidators. Holders of 75% of the votes entitled to be cast is required to approve a liquidation of the Company.

Dividends

Dividends are declared by the shareholders. All holders of common stock (represented by Shares, CPOs or ADSs) will share equally on a per share basis in any dividend declared by our shareholders.

Certain Voting Rights

Our only class of outstanding capital stock consists of Shares. Shares, when properly issued, are fully voting shares of capital stock without par value.

Preemptive and Other Rights

In case of a capital increase, except in the case of treasury shares (in which case no preemptive rights applies), the holders of Shares have the preemptive right to subscribe for the new shares issued as a result of a capital increase, in proportion to the number of Shares owned by each of them.

Material Contracts

See Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness.”

Exchange Controls

There are currently no exchange controls in Mexico; however, Mexico has imposed foreign exchange controls in the past. Pursuant to the provisions of NAFTA, if Mexico experiences serious balance of payment difficulties or the threat thereof in the future, Mexico would have the right to impose foreign exchange controls on investments made in Mexico, including those made by U.S. and Canadian investors.

United States Federal Income and Mexican Federal Taxation

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax and certain Mexican federal tax consequences related to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our ADSs by certain holders.

The Convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion and a Protocol thereto between the United States and Mexico became effective on January 1, 1994 and has been amended by additional protocols (collectively, the “Tax Treaty”). The United States and Mexico have also entered into an agreement concerning the exchange of information with respect to tax matters.

This summary is not intended as tax advice to any particular holder of ADSs, which can be rendered only in light of that holder’s particular circumstances. Accordingly, each holder of ADSs is urged to consult such holder’s tax advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences to such holder of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ADSs, including the availability and applicability of any tax treaty to such holder.

The summary with respect to certain United States federal income tax consequences is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date of this Annual Report and as applicable in the current taxable year and ending before January 1, 2011, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to different interpretations. The summary with respect to certain Mexican federal taxes is based on the Mexican federal tax laws, the Tax Treaty, regulations issued thereunder, rulings and general rules issued by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público), official pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as of the date of this Annual Report, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to different interpretations.

General

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of ADSs, who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a domestic corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation), (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of source, or (iv) a trust, if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) the trust has a valid election in place to be treated as a United States trust. A “non-U.S. holder” is any holder other than a U.S. holder. The tax treatment of persons who hold their ADSs through a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership holding ADSs should consult their tax advisors.

For purposes of this summary, a “non-resident U.S. holder” is a U.S holder that is a non-resident of Mexico for Mexican federal tax purposes and that does not have a permanent establishment in Mexico. In general, for Mexican federal tax purposes, an individual is a resident of Mexico if he has established his home in Mexico, unless he has a home both in Mexico and abroad; in such case, an individual will be considered to be a resident of Mexico if the individual’s “center of vital interests” is in Mexico. For these purposes, the center of vital interests will be considered to be located in Mexico, among other cases, if either (i) more than 50% of the individual’s total income in a calendar year is derived from sources in Mexico, or (ii) the main center of the individual’s professional activities is located in Mexico. Mexican nationals who are state officials or state workers are deemed to be residents of Mexico, even though their individual center of vital interests is located abroad. A Mexican national is presumed to be a resident of Mexico unless such person can demonstrate otherwise. A legal entity is a resident of Mexico if it maintains the principal administration of its business or the effective location of its management in Mexico. If a legal entity or an individual is deemed to have a permanent establishment in Mexico for Mexican federal income tax purposes, all income attributable to such permanent establishment will be subject to Mexican federal income tax, in accordance with applicable laws.

If an individual or legal entity ceases to be a resident of Mexico for Mexican federal tax purposes, such individual or legal entity must make certain filings with the Mexican tax authorities generally within a 15-day period before its change of residency.

A non-resident of Mexico is an individual or legal entity that does not satisfy the requirements to be considered a resident of Mexico for Mexican federal tax purposes.

Certain Mexican Federal Tax Consequences

This summary of certain Mexican federal tax consequences relates only to non-resident U.S. holders of our ADSs.

Dividends — Dividends, either in cash or in any other form, paid with respect to the Shares underlying the CPOs represented by our ADSs generally will not be subject to Mexican withholding.

Capital Gains — Capital gains arising from the sale or other disposition of our ADSs generally will not be subject to Mexican income tax.

Deposits and withdrawals of ADSs will not give rise to any Mexican tax or transfer duties.

The sale of our ADSs will not be subject to the Mexican flat rate business tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica).

In general, commissions paid in brokerage transactions for the sale of our ADSs on the Mexican Stock Exchange are subject to a value-added tax of 15%.

Other Mexican Taxes — There are no Mexican inheritance or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of our ADSs. Gratuitous transfers of our ADSs may, in some circumstances, subject the recipient to Mexican federal income tax. There are no Mexican stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by non-resident U.S. holders with respect to our ADSs.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

U.S. Holders

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of ADSs. This discussion does not purport to be tax or legal advice and may not be applicable depending upon a U.S. holder’s particular situation.

Each U.S. holder should consult such U.S. holder’s own tax advisor with respect to the current and, possibly future, U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to such U.S. holder of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of ADSs.

This summary is directed solely at U.S. holders that hold their ADSs as capital assets and whose functional currency is the Dollar. This summary does not discuss all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to U.S. holders, particularly those that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as partnerships, banks, financial institutions, thrifts, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt investors, expatriates, former long-term U.S. residents, U.S. holders that reside outside the United States, persons who received shares in return for services rendered or in connection with their employment, securities traders who elect to account for their investments in ADSs on a mark-to-market basis, persons that own (or are deemed to own for U.S. tax purposes) 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company, or persons that hold their ADSs as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other integrated transaction. This summary does not discuss any United States federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences or the tax laws of any state, local or foreign government that may be applicable.

For United States federal income tax purposes, a holder of an ADS generally will be treated as the beneficial owner of the CPOs represented by such ADS and such CPOs will represent a beneficial interest in the underlying Shares represented by such CPOs.

Distributions — Distributions with respect to our ADSs that are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income when the distributions are received by the depositary and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction otherwise allowable to U.S. holders that are corporations. To the extent that a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a nontaxable return of the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its ADSs to the extent of such tax basis, and then as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset. A U.S. holder must include in gross income as ordinary income the gross amount of the dividends.

The amount of any dividend paid in Pesos will be included in income by a U.S. holder in an amount equal to the Dollar value of the Pesos received, based on the exchange rate in effect on the date the distribution is includible in income by the U.S. holder, regardless of whether the Pesos are converted into Dollars. A U.S. holder will have a basis in the Pesos received equal to their Dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss recognized on a subsequent sale or conversion of the Pesos for a different amount generally will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. Dividends generally will constitute foreign source income for U.S. federal tax credit purposes.

Certain dividends received with respect to the ADSs by an individual U.S. holder may be subject to United States federal income tax at a maximum rate of 15% if the dividends are “qualified dividends”. Qualified dividends with respect to an individual U.S. holder generally include dividends that are received from a “qualified foreign corporation”, provided the U.S. holder meets certain holding period requirements with respect to its ownership of such qualified foreign corporation. A qualified foreign corporation generally includes a foreign corporation if (A) (i) its shares, including its ADSs, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or (ii) it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has approved for purposes of the qualified dividend rule, and (B) it was not a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) in the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or in the preceding taxable year. The ADSs are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and will qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States for purposes of this rule as long as they are so listed. Further, as discussed below, we believe that we are not a PFIC. Therefore, we believe that dividends paid to an individual U.S. holder with respect to the ADSs generally are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum rate of 15%, provided such U.S. holder otherwise meets the requirements for the application of such rate. The maximum 15% tax rate is effective with respect to qualified dividends includible in income during any taxable year ending before January 1, 2011.

Capital Gains — In general, upon the sale or other disposition of ADSs, a U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or disposition (in Dollars, generally determined

at the spot rate on the date of disposition, or in the case of a cash basis U.S. holder, at the exchange rate in effect on the settlement date, if the amount realized is denominated in a foreign currency) and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the ADSs (in Dollars). The gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss if the ADSs were held as a capital asset and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the ADSs have been held for more than one year on the date of the sale or other disposition. Capital gains of individuals generally are taxed at lower rates than items of ordinary income. With respect to sales or other dispositions occurring during any taxable year ending before January 1, 2011, the maximum long-term capital gain tax rate for an individual U.S. holder is generally 15%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Deposits and withdrawals of CPOs by a U.S. holder in exchange for ADSs generally will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a sale or other disposition of ADSs generally will be treated as gain or loss from sources within the United States for United States foreign tax credit purposes.

The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

PFIC — We believe that we were not a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the 2009 taxable year and we do not anticipate being a PFIC for the 2010 taxable year. However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition of our income and assets and the market value of our assets from time to time (including certain equity investments of less than 25 percent) and because the characterization of certain income and assets is uncertain under the PFIC rules, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held ADSs, certain adverse consequences could apply to such U.S. holder.

In general, if we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, gain recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of ADSs would be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for such ADSs. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability attributable to such amounts. Further, generally, to the extent any distribution during a taxable year to a U.S. holder in respect of ADSs exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions in respect of such ADSs received by such U.S. holder during the preceding three taxable years, such “excess distribution” would be subject to taxation as described in the preceding sentence. Certain elections may be available to mitigate the adverse consequences resulting from PFIC status.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding — Dividends on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, ADSs paid to a U.S. holder generally may be subject to the information reporting and backup withholding rules under the Code unless such U.S. holder (i) certifies its correct taxpayer identification number, (ii) certifies that it is exempt from, or otherwise not subject to, backup withholding, and (iii) complies with any other applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amount withheld under these rules generally will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. holder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided certain information is timely provided to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax on dividends received with respect to ADSs, unless such income is effectively connected with the conduct by such non-U.S. holder of a United States trade or business (or, in the case of a non-U.S. holder that qualifies for the benefits of an income tax treaty with the United States, such income is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed place of business of such non-U.S. holder in the United States).

A non-U.S. holder of ADSs will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale or other disposition of ADSs, unless (1) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by such non-U.S. holder of a United States trade or business (or, in the case of a non-U.S. holder that qualifies for the benefits of an income tax treaty with the United States, such gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed place of business of such non-U.S. holder in the United States), or (2) in the case of gain realized by an

individual non-U.S. holder, such non-U.S. holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met.

Although non-U.S. holders generally are exempt from backup withholding, a non-U.S. holder may be required to comply with certification and identification procedures in order to establish such exemption.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following information includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those presented. All information below is presented under IFRS as of December 31, 2009, in U.S. dollars.

We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices. We use derivative instruments, on a selective basis, to manage these risks. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We maintain and control our treasury operations and overall financial risk through policies approved by senior management and our Board of Directors.

Foreign Currency Risk

A majority of the Company’s revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, and the majority of our costs and expenses are denominated in Pesos. As such, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk and may occasionally use currency derivatives to manage alternating levels of exposure. These derivatives allow the Company to offset an increase in operating and/or administrative expenses arising from foreign currency appreciation or depreciation against the U.S. dollar.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar as follows:


	December 31,
	(in thousands of Dollars)
	2009			2008
Assets	$	111,035		$	164,732
Liabilities		(761,310	)		(697,776	)

	$	(650,275	)	$	(533,044	)

In the past, the Company has entered into, and in the future may from time to time enter into, currency derivatives denominated in Mexican Pesos or other relevant currencies. The objective of the Company when using these derivatives is always to manage specific risks and exposures, and not to trade such instruments for profit or loss. A majority of the Company’s indebtedness is denominated in Pesos, and most of this debt is fixed-rate.

Interest Rate Risk

We depend upon debt-financing transactions, including debt securities, bank and vendor credit facilities and leases, to finance our operations. These transactions expose us to interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate risk exposure resulting from changes in the relevant base rates (CETES, TIIE, LIBOR and/or prime rate) which are used to determine the interest rates that are applicable to borrowings under our credit facilities. We are also exposed to interest rate risk in connection with the refinancing of maturing debt.

The table below provides information about the Company’s debt obligations. For debt obligations, the table represents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The information is presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s reporting currency.

(1)		Information as of December 31, 2009

**		Not applicable

From time to time, we use derivative financial instruments such as interest rate cap transactions for hedging purposes in order to reduce our exposure to increases in interest rates

On July 19, 2007, the Company entered into a three-year interest cap transaction with Banco Santander, S.A. in an amount of Ps. 3.00 billion to hedge against fluctuations in the TIIE rates in Mexico. This contract was entered into in connection with the first tranche of the Trust Certificates Program.

On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into a three-year interest cap transaction with Banco Santander, S.A. in an amount of Ps. 1.55 billion to hedge against fluctuations in the TIIE rates in Mexico. This contract was entered into in connection with the second tranche of the Trust Certificates Program.

On July 3, 2008, the Company entered into a three-year interest cap transaction with Banamex, S.A. in an amount of Ps. 4.39 billion to hedge against fluctuations in the TIIE rates in Mexico. This contract was entered into in connection with the third tranche of the Trust Certificates Program.

On March 2009, the Company entered into a one-year interest cap transaction with Banamex, S.A. in an amount of Ps. 2.84 billion to hedge against fluctuations in the TIIE rates in Mexico. This contract was entered into in connection with the first tranche of the Trust Certificates Program, extending the hedge for an additional year.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price changes in the commodities markets for certain inventory goods, and specifically fuel. The Company purchases its diesel fuel on a spot basis within Mexico, and it purchases ship bunker fuel in the United States for certain of its operations. These purchases are affected by price changes in the international energy commodity market. In the past, the Company has entered into diesel fuel and other energy commodity derivatives transactions to manage these risks and may continue to engage in similar transactions in the future.

Inflation Rate Risk

A substantial increase in the Mexican inflation rate would have the effect of increasing our Peso-denominated costs and expenses, which could affect our results of operations and financial condition. High levels of inflation may also affect the balance of trade between Mexico and the United States and other countries, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

American Depositary Shares

The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary, collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing CPOs or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deductions from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.


Persons depositing or withdrawing CPOs must pay:		For:
$5.00 (or less) per 100 ADSs (or portion of 100 ADSs)		• Issuance of ADSs, including issuances resulting from a distribution of CPOs or rights or other property

		• Cancellation of ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal, including if the deposit agreement terminates

$.02 (or less) per ADS		• Any cash distribution to ADS registered holders

$.02 (or less) per ADSs per calendar year		• Depositary services

A fee equivalent to the fee that would be payable if securities distributed to holders had been CPOs and the CPOs had been deposited for issuance of ADSs		• Distribution of securities distributed to holders of deposited securities which are distributed by the depositary to ADS registered holders

Registration or transfer fees		• Transfer and registration of CPOs on the register to or from the name of the depositary or its agent when a holder deposits or withdraws CPOs

Expenses of the depositary		• Cable, telex and facsimile transmissions as expressly provided in the deposit agreement

		• Converting foreign currency to U.S. dollars

Taxes and other governmental charges the depositary or the custodian have to pay on any ADS or CPO underlying an ADS, for example, stock transfer taxes, stamp duty or withholding taxes		• As necessary

Any charges incurred by the depositary or its agents for servicing the deposited securities		• As necessary

Fees payable by the depositary

The depositary has agreed to reimburse us for expenses we incur in connection with the establishment of the ADS facility, including legal fees, fees due to the previous depositary, investor relations expenses and other facility-related expenses. There are limits on the amount of expenses for which the depositary will reimburse us, but the amount of reimbursement available to us is not necessarily tied to the amount of fees the depositary collects from investors. The depositary has also agreed to pay its standard out-of-pocket administrative, maintenance and shareholder services expenses for the ADSs. Such expenses include the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationary, postage, facsimile and telephone calls, and certain

investor relationship programs or special investor relations promotional services. We did not receive any reimbursements from the depositary during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclose Controls and Procedures.

The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that, as of the end of the 2009 fiscal year, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s applicable rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that: (i) pertains to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (ii) provides reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements for external reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provides reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedure may deteriorate. The Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

As a result of this assessment, the Company’s management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Salles Sainz — Grant Thornton, S.C, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This report appears below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Grupo TMM, S.A.B.

We have audited Grupo TMM, S.A.B.’s (Grupo TMM) (a Mexican Corporation) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Grupo TMM’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Grupo TMM’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

(d) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

As required by Rule 13a-15(d), under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the period covered since the last report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, it has been determined that there has been no change during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

NYSE Corporate Governance Comparison

Pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange applicable to foreign private issuers like us that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we are required to disclose significant differences between the New York Stock Exchange’s corporate governance standards and those that we follow under Mexican law and in accordance with our own internal procedures. The following is a summary of such significant differences:


NYSE Standards		Our Corporate Governance Practices
Director Independence. Majority of board of directors must be independent.		Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Law, the Company’s shareholders are required to appoint a Board of Directors of not more than 21 directors, 25% of whom must be independent within the meaning of the Mexican Securities Law, which differs from the definition of independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws, shareholders are required to appoint a Board of Directors of not more than 21 directors and not fewer than seven.

		Our current Board of Directors consists of twelve directors and one alternate director. Six of our directors are independent directors within the meaning of the Mexican Securities Law.

Executive Sessions. Non-management directors must meet regularly in executive sessions without management. Independent directors should meet alone in an executive session at least once a year.		There is no similar requirement under our Bylaws. However, the Mexican Securities Law provides that the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee, within its audit functions, must meet regularly with directors.

Audit committee. Audit committee satisfying the independence and other requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the more stringent requirements under the NYSE standards is required.		We have an Audit and Corporate Practices Committee composed of four independent directors, one of whom has accounting and related financial management expertise in compliance with NYSE standards and Mexican Securities Law.


NYSE Standards		Our Corporate Governance Practices
Nominating/corporate governance committee. Nominating/corporate governance committee of independent directors is required.		Our Audit and Corporate Practices Committee is composed of four independent directors and carries out the functions of the nominating/corporate governance committee.

Compensation committee. Compensation committee of independent directors is required, which must approve executive officer compensation.		Our Compensation Committee is composed of the same members as our Audit and Corporate Practices Committee and is responsible for evaluating and approving executive officer’s compensation.

Equity compensation plans. Equity compensation plans require shareholder approval, subject to limited exemptions.		We are not required under Mexican law to obtain shareholder approval for equity compensation plans. Our Board of Directors is required to approve the Company’s policies with respect to such compensation plans.

Code of Ethics. Corporate governance guidelines and a code of business conduct and ethics is required, with disclosure of any waiver for directors or executive officers.		We have adopted a code of ethics in alignment with U.S. standards, which has been accepted by all of our directors and executive officers and other personnel. We are required by Item 16B of this Form 20-F to disclose any waivers granted to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer and persons performing similar functions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Grupo TMM, S.A.B.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Grupo TMM, S.A.B and subsidiaries (“Grupo TMM” or the “Company”), as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, all expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Grupo TMM as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations, comprehensive income (loss) and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) Grupo TMM’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 29, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the consolidated business internal control over financial reporting.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4, the Company has sustained substantial losses from continuing operations during the past five years, and substantial doubt exists as to its continuation as a going concern. Continuation is dependent upon the success of future operations and obtaining additional financing. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2 Changes in accounting policies and future accounting pronouncements:

Grupo TMM has adopted the following new interpretations, revisions and amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which are relevant to and effective for Grupo TMM’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2009:

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (Revised 2007)

Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – improving disclosures about financial instruments

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (Revised) (effective from January 1, 2009)

The revised standard requires the capitalization of borrowing costs, to the extent they are directly attributable to the acquisition, production or construction of qualifying assets that need a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. The Company had already adopted the option of capitalizing borrowing costs related to qualifying assets. The revised standard will have no effect on the Company ´s reported interest expense and capitalized cost in future periods.

Adoption of amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – improving disclosures about financial instruments

The amendments require additional disclosures for financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. These fair value measurements are categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy, which reflects the extent to which they are based on observable market data. A separate quantitative maturity analysis must be presented for derivative financial liabilities that shows the remaining contractual maturities, where

F-11

these are essential for an understanding of the timing of cash flows. The adoption of these amendments has no effect on Grupo TMM’s disclosures, in view that there are neither financial instruments measured at fair value nor derivative financial liabilities. A maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities that shows the remaining contractual maturities is presented in Notes 13, 14 and 15. A description of how Grupo TMM manages the liquidity risk inherent in non-derivative financial liabilities is found in Note 27.

At the date of authorization of these consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by Grupo TMM.

Management anticipates that all of the pronouncements will be adopted in Grupo TMM’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to Grupo TMM’s financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Revised 2008) (effective from July 1, 2009)

The standard is applicable for business combinations occurring in reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The new standard introduces changes to the accounting requirements for business combinations, but still requires use of the purchase method, and will have a significant effect on business combinations occurring in future reporting periods.

IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Revised 2008) (effective from July 1, 2009)

The revised standard introduces changes to the accounting requirements for the loss of control of a subsidiary and for changes in the Group’s interest in subsidiaries. These changes will be applied prospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions and so do not have an immediate effect on Grupo TMM’s financial statements.

Annual Improvements 2009 (effective from July 1, 2009 and later)

The IASB has issued Improvements for International Financial Reporting Standards 2009. Most of these amendments become effective in annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009 or January 1, 2010. The Company expects the amendments to IAS 17 Leases to be relevant to Grupo TMM’s accounting policies. Prior to the amendment IAS 17 generally required a lease of land to be classified as an operating lease. The amendment now requires that leases of land are classified as finance or operating applying the general principles of IAS 17. The Company will need to reassess the classification of the land elements of its unexpired leases at January 1, 2010 on the basis of information existing at the inception of those leases. Any newly classified finance leases are recognized retrospectively. Preliminary assessments indicate that the effect on Grupo TMM’s financial statements will not be significant.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective from January 1, 2013)

The IASB aims to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety by the end of 2010, with the replacement standard to be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013. IFRS 9 is the first part of Phase 1 of this project. The main phases are:

Phase 1: Classification and Measurement

Phase 2: Impairment methodology

Phase 3: Hedge accounting

In addition, a separate project is dealing with derecognition.

Management have yet to assess the impact that this amendment is likely to have on the financial statements of Grupo TMM. However, they do not expect to implement the amendments until all chapters of the IAS 39 replacement have been published and they can comprehensively assess the impact of all changes.

Annual Improvements 2010 (effective from July 1, 2010/January 1, 2011) On May 6, 2010, the IASB issued Improvements for International Financial Reporting Standards 2010 which makes minor amendments to nine IFRSs, and most of them become effective in annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010 or January 1, 2011. Preliminary assessments indicate that the effect on Grupo TMM’s financial statements will not be significant.

3 Summary of significant accounting policies:

The consolidated financial statements of Grupo TMM have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, expressed in United States dollars, the currency in which most transactions and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities arose and/or are denominated. The Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, or “CNBV”) approved this method in 1985. The initial effect of conversion to the United States dollar as the functional currency is shown as a debit of $17,757 in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity of Grupo.

These consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 22, 2010.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company, are as follows:

a. Presentation of financial statements-

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007). Grupo TMM has elected to present the ‘Statement of comprehensive income’ in two statements: the ‘Consolidated Statement of Operations’ and a ‘Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income ’.

Two comparative periods are presented for the statement of financial position when the Company: (i) applies an accounting policy retrospectively, (ii) makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements, or (iii) reclassifies items in the financial statements.

b. Consolidation-

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Grupo TMM and those of its subsidiaries. The balances and transactions with subsidiary companies have been eliminated for the purposes of consolidation. Grupo TMM consolidates the companies in which it holds 51% or more direct or indirect interest and/or has control. In the case of jointly controlled investments, Grupo TMM recognizes its interest by proportional consolidation.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which Grupo TMM has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. These subsidiaries would be de-consolidated from the date that control by Grupo TMM ceases.

The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.

All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Grupo TMM’s companies are eliminated upon consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Grupo TMM.

Associates

Associates are all entities over which Grupo TMM has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at their acquisition cost.

F-13

When Grupo TMM’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, Grupo TMM does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or is committed to make payments on behalf of the associate.

Gains and losses on transactions between Grupo TMM and its associates are eliminated to the extent of Grupo TMM’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

c. Translation-

Although Grupo TMM and its subsidiaries are required to maintain its books and records in Mexican pesos (“Ps”) for tax purposes, Grupo TMM and some subsidiaries keep their records in US dollars, this being their operating currency, while other subsidiaries whose operating currency is the peso report their financial information in dollars, as such currency reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the entity.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Mexican pesos are translated into US dollars using current exchange rates. The difference between the exchange rate on the date of the transaction and the exchange rate on the settlement date, or if not settled the date of the statement of financial position, is included in the statement of operations as a foreign exchange gain/loss. Non-monetary assets or liabilities originally denominated in Mexican pesos are translated into US dollars using the historical exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Capital stock transactions and minority interest are translated at historical rates. Results of operations are mainly translated at the monthly average exchange rates. Depreciation and amortization of non-monetary assets are translated at the historical exchange rate.

d. Cash and cash equivalents-

Cash equivalents are all investments made with an original maturity of less than three months and are stated at cost plus interest earned.

e. Restricted cash-

Restricted cash represents the amount required to guarantee payments according to the obligations arising from the debt agreements on the acquisition of vessels and from the sale of receivables and trust certificates (See Notes 13, 14 and 15).

f. Accounts receivable-

Accounts receivable are carried at their original invoice amount less a provision made for estimated losses on these receivables. Losses or impairment on trade receivables are provided for when there is objective evidence that Grupo TMM will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables.

If it is likely that the Company will not be able to recover all the amounts owed to it in accordance with the receivables contract, an impairment or loss on debt is recognized. The amount of the loss is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of its future cash flows, and is included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year.

The losses and gains from disposing of assets are determined by the comparison of the resources received with the book value. The losses and gains are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

F-14

g. Materials and supplies-

Materials and supplies, consisting mainly of fuel and items for maintenance of property and equipment, are valued at the lower of the average cost or net realizable value.

h. Concession rights-

Concession rights correspond to payments made for the rights to operate the assets under concession, which are stated at cost and are amortized over the terms specified in the agreements.

i. Property, machinery, and equipment, net-

Property, machinery and equipment are stated at construction or acquisition cost. Acquisitions through capital leases or charter arrangements with an obligation to purchase are capitalized based on the present value of future minimum payments, recognizing the related liability. Depreciation of transportation equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the assets net of the estimated residual value.

Recurring maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operating expenses as incurred. The major repairs on transportation equipment are capitalized and amortized over the period in which benefits are expected to be received (two to three years for vessels).

j. Prepaid expenses-

Prepaid expenses represent advance payments made for future services to be received.

k. Goodwill-

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost in a business combination over the fair value of the Grupo TMM’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Negative goodwill is recognized immediately after acquisition in the statement of operations.

l. Deferred income tax and corporate flat tax-

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Currently enacted or substantively enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred income tax.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporate Flat Tax law (IETU — for its Spanish acronym) abrogated the Asset Tax Law. IETU is a tax that co-exists with Income Tax, therefore, the Company developed projections based on reasonable, reliable assumptions properly supported, which represent Management’s best estimate where it has identified that the expected trend is essentially that Income Tax will be incurred by Grupo TMM in future years. Accordingly, only deferred Income Tax has been recognized.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit against which the temporary differences can be utilized will be available (see Note 22).

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

m. Employees’ statutory profit-sharing-

F-15

The Company determines the employees’ statutory profit sharing at the rate of 10% on taxable income, adjusted as provided for by the Income Tax law. The employees’ statutory profit-sharing liability for the years 2007, 2008, and 2009 is $369, $152, and $139, respectively, among certain Grupo TMM subsidiaries.

n. Loans-

Loans are recognized initially as the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Loans are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of the minimum transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the period of the loans.

o. Labor obligations-

Seniority premiums, to which employees are entitled after 15 years of service and after having retired at the age of 60, and retirement plan benefits obligations, are expensed in the years in which the services are rendered (see Note 24).

Other compensation based on length of service to which employees may be entitled to in the event of dismissal, in accordance with the Federal Labor Law, are provided for based on an actuarial computation, in accordance with IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”.

p. Revenue recognition-

Revenue comprises the fair value of the resources received or receivable for services provided, net of rebates and discounts.

Revenue from bareboat vessel leasing is recognized monthly according to the number of days elapsed and during the term of the corresponding contract. Revenue from voyages, when their duration is longer than two months, is recognized proportionally as a shipment moves from origin to destination.

Revenues and costs associated with trucking transportation services and other non-maritime transactions are recognized at the time the services are rendered.

q. Impairment of intangible assets and long-lived assets-

The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets and long-lived assets annually and impairments are recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable discounted cash flows.

r. Leases-

Leases of property, machinery and equipment where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the consolidated statement of operations over the lease

F-16

period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Leases where the lessor retains a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statement of operations as they become due over the period of the lease.

s. Non-controlling interest-

Non-controlling interest (formerly called minority interest), represents the percentage of third party interest in the subsidiaries of Grupo TMM.

t. Segments-

In identifying its operating segments, management follows Grupo TMM’s service lines, which represent the main services provided by the Group.

Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines requires different technologies and other resources as well as marketing approaches. All inter-segment transfers are carried out at market prices.

The accounting policies Grupo TMM uses for segment reporting under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in its financial statements, with the exception that corporate assets which are not directly attributable to the business activities of any operating segment are not allocated. In the financial periods presented, this primarily applies to the Grupo TMM’s head office.

u. Non-current assets available for sale and discontinued operations-

Non-current assets are classified as assets available for sale and stated at the lower of: a) carrying amount just prior to classification as available for sale, and b) fair value less costs to sell.

Any loss or gain from the sale of discontinued operations is reported in a single entry on the consolidated statement of operations.

v. Use of estimates-

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts for assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, as well as income or loss for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

w. Capital shares-

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Grupo TMM does not have other equity instruments in addition to its common stock.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

x. Obligations from sale of receivables-

F-17

The Company has entered into factoring agreements for the sale of present and future receivables. Proceeds are received when an agreement is made to issue trust certificates based on a pool of collections of receivables that are in turn applied on a scheduled basis as payments of principal and interest. Collection is held by the designated trust and amounts exceeding scheduled payments are reimbursed to the Company. (see Note 14).

y. Reclassifications-

In 2008, the Company early adopted IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements” (2007 revised) and consequently it was applied retrospectively (mainly, the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income).

4 Going concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial losses from continuing operations in recent years: $28.3 million in 2007; in 2008, the Company’s net income of $75.4 million includes a gain on currency fluctuation of $145.5 million, and for 2009 the Company incurred in a net loss of $95.7 million, which includes a loss on currency fluctuation of $30.7 million. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continually meet its financing obligations, comply with its present financing commitments, and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management has taken the following steps to improve its operating and financial results, which are deemed sufficient in the medium term to enable the Company to remain in operation: a) the acquisition of a new fleet of ships, b) an organizational restructuring to reduce administrative expenses, c) the conclusion of the issuance of Trust Certificates in July 2008 (see Note 15), and d) the restructuring of the Company’s Schedule of obligations on the sale of receivables (see Note 14), which will substantially reduce financial expenses.

Under these concession agreements, the Company has the obligation to keep in good condition the facilities included in the concessions. At the end of the terms of the concession agreements, the concessions’ assets will revert to the Government. Therefore the concession rights and the partial rights concessions provide for rights in favor of the Federal Government (see Note 26).

The Company has met compliance with its obligation to maintain the concessioner’s facilities in good condition.

⁽¹⁾		This goodwill arises from the purchase of the Ademsa subsidiary. The value of the intangible asset for customer relations could not be reasonably estimated, therefore it is included in the value for this goodwill.

⁽²⁾		The goodwill arises from the purchase of identifiable operating assets for the transportation of automotive vehicles. An impairment for $4.6 million for 2008 and $3.5 million for 2009 was determined

		based on the result of the calculation of the value in use (based on discounted cash flows and an estimated perpetual value).

⁽³⁾		On December 31, 2004, Grupo TMM acquired the Marmex trademark rights from its former partner Seacor Marine International, LLC, for the amount of $9.0 million, which was presented as an item deducting the non-controlling interest amount. Grupo TMM acquired such non-controlling interest and therefore the trademark rights are now classified within Intangible assets.

⁽⁴⁾		A stockholder with significant influence in the business decision making of Grupo TMM decided to sell her interest. In view that this individual also had knowledge of business plans, market condition, as well as relationships with customers and vendors of Grupo TMM, the Board of Directors approved the Company on November 20, 2007, to enter into a non competition agreement for a 5 year period with this individual; this agreement provides for a penalty of $14.3 million in the event of non-compliance.

14 Obligations from sale of receivables:

Under its factoring program, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries sold present and future accounts receivable to an independent trust, which in turn issued certificates to investors (“Certificates”). For accounting purposes, the factoring represents the total amount in US dollars for future services to be provided to customers according to the factoring.

On September 25, 2006 the Company finalized a Factoring program for $200 million (approximately $2,608.7 million pesos) with Deutsche Bank, (the “Program”). As of December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance under this

F-25

Program was $24.2 million (approximately $315.7 million pesos) (exclusive of $56.9 million pesos - $4.4 million for the transaction cost and $1.4 million pesos — $0.1 million in interest payable) bearing a fixed interest rate of 12.47% per annum. This Program contemplates restricted cash to secure any potential payment obligation arising from default. The restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 was $4.7 and $1.1 million, respectively.

On October 15, 2007, the Company withdrew certificates under this Program for the amount of $50 million (approximately $652.2 million pesos) plus a premium of approximately $52 million ($678.3 million pesos). The resources applied were from the settlement with Kansas City Southern (KCS) (purchaser of the discontinued railroad operation in April 2005), under which KCS paid the Company $54.1 million (approximately $705.1 million pesos) on October 1, 2007. This settlement also meant the cancellation of a portion of the KCS account receivable for $38.6 million reported in the consolidated statements of operations for 2007.

On December 18, 2009, as part of the restructuring Program, an affiliate company of the Company, VEX Asesores Corporativos, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“VEX”) purchased certificates with a face value of $86.5 million (approximately $1,128.7 million pesos). VEX is a Mexican company in which Mr. Serrano Segovia (principal stockholder in Grupo TMM and chairman of the board of directors) holds a minority interest, controlling the vote; the remaining stockholdings in VEX are held by related and unrelated investors through non-voting shares (see Note 19).

In addition, as part of the restructuring, certain conditions of the Program were modified; among others, the Logistics division subsidiaries (TMM Logistics, S.A. de C.V. and Lacto Comercial Organizada, S.A. de C.V.) were released from collateral and consequently the accounts receivable generated by these subsidiaries are no longer included in the factoring surety.

The obligations from the sale of receivables as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 are summarized as follows:

Covenants-

The agreements related to the abovementioned loans contemplate certain covenants including the observance of certain financial ratios, and restrictions on dividend payments and sales of assets. Grupo TMM and its subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants and restrictions at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

15 Trust certificates program:

On July 19, 2007, the Company released its First Tranche for the approximate amount of $230.0 million ($3,000 million Mexican pesos) in Trust Certificates under the Trust Certificate Program for up to approximately $690.0 million ($9,000 million Mexican pesos) (“the Program”) established by the Company. The Trust Certificates corresponding to the First Tranche bear a 20 year term and have an AA (mex) initial credit rating issued by Fitch de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. In November 2009, after reviewing the performance of this First Tranche and also the adverse market conditions and the delay on adding all the vessels to the program, HR de México, S.A. de C.V. gave its credit rating of HR AA.

The proceeds from this First Tranche were used for the prepayment of various bank loans for $158.3 million (approximately $2,065 million pesos) including capital, interest, and prepayment expenses, and also payment of expenses and commissions related to this First Tranche, and the creation of cash reserves.

Interests on the First Tranche will be payable semiannually on December 15 and June 15 of the corresponding year, having already contracted a hedging derivative financial instrument (interest rate CAP) which allows for the trust’s maximum payable rate to be 11.50% per annum during the first 4 years of this First Tranche’s maturity.

The First Tranche represents the total amount in US Dollars for future services to be provided to the Contracting Parties, according to the terms of the Trust Certificate Program. The outstanding balance under this First Tranche as of December 31, 2008 was $206 million ($2,836.7 million pesos) and as of December 31, 2009 is $215 million ($2,802.0 million pesos). This First Tranche observes a cash restriction in order to secure certain operating obligations and potential payment obligations in the event of default. The restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 was approximately $24.5 and $26.1 million, respectively.

Under the terms of the First Tranche, resources collected by the Issuer Trust will be used to cover for operating costs and expenses related to the 20 vessels, as well as to cover for principal and interests based on the agreed amortization. The remaining resources, if any, will be used in equal ratios to a) prospectively amortize the Certificates and b) to be delivered as free resources to the Company.

On April 30, 2008, a Second Tranche was released for approximately $118.8 million ($1,550 million pesos) in Trust Certificates, under cover of the Program, just as the First Tranche.

Income Tax -

F-31

Consolidated taxable income was incurred for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 in the amounts of $362,487 and $311,786. A consolidated tax loss of $59,045 was incurred for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The difference between taxable and book income is due primarily to the gain or loss on inflation recognized for tax purposes, the difference between tax and book amortization and depreciation, as well as certain temporary differences reported in different periods for financial and tax purposes, and non-deductible expenses.

The Company has recognized deferred tax assets related to its tax loss carryforwards as well as its subsidiaries and other items after evaluating the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. To the extent that the balance of the deferred tax assets exceeds the existing temporary differences. Management has evaluated the recoverability of such amounts by estimating future taxable profits in the foreseeable future which extend from 2010 through 2018. The tax profits include estimates of profitability and macroeconomic assumptions which are based on management’s best judgment (see Note 4).

Corporate flat tax (“IETU”) -

On September 14, 2007, the Congress approved the Corporate Flat Tax Law, which was published October 1st of that same year in the Official Federal Gazette. This new law enters into effect on January 1, 2008 and abrogates the Asset Tax Law.

The Corporate Flat Tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Única (“IETU”)) for the period will be calculated by applying a 17.5% rate (transitorily, the IETU rate was 16.5% for 2008, 17% for 2009, and 17.5% for 2010 and thereafter) to the amount resulting from reducing the total revenues received from the activities to which this tax applies by the authorized deductions, provided the former are greater than the latter, and with the understanding that for such purposes both revenues and deductions are contemplated when these have been either collected or paid. The so-called IETU credits are reduced from the above income, as provided for in currently enacted legislation.

IETU credits are amounts that can be reduced from this tax, which include, among other things, greater deductions of revenues from previous years, credits for salaries, social security contributions, and deductions of some assets such as inventories and fixed assets during the transition period from the IETU entering into effect.

The IETU is a tax that co-exists with Income Tax (ISR), and it is subject to the following:

	a)		If the IETU exceeds the Income Tax for the same period, the Company will pay IETU on the portion exceeding the income tax. Pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will reduce Income Tax paid in the same period from the IETU for the period.

	b)		If the IETU is less than the Income Tax for the same period, the Company will not pay IETU for the period.

	c)		If the IETU base is negative due to deductions that exceed taxable income, there will be no IETU due. In addition, the amount of that base multiplied by the IETU rate results in an IETU credit that can be offset

F-33

until December 31, 2009 against the Income Tax for the same period, and as of 2010, may only be credited against the IETU for subsequent periods.

During the tax year ended December 31, 2009, the Company determined a negative IETU of $4.6 million (Ps 60 million), which could not be credited against the income tax for the year, consequently a tax credit equal to 17% of this amount was created, which may be credited against the IETU to be accrued over the next ten tax years until exhausted.

24 Employee benefits

Seniority premiums, retirement plan benefits (“pension benefits”) obligations, and other employee compensation payable at the end of employment are based on actuarial calculations using the projected unit credit method. Pension benefits are based mainly on years of service, age and salary level upon retirement.

The amounts charged to the statement of operations for seniority premiums, pensions, and severances on termination of employment include the amortization of the cost of past services over the average time of service remaining. The Company continues with its policy of recognizing actuarial losses and gains for seniority premiums and pensions in the consolidated statement of operations, with a loss of $1.5 million for 2007, $3.8 million for 2008 and a gain of $0.3 million in 2009.

Severances prior to retirement consider the immediate recognition of the costs of past services and actuarial losses and gains.

The details of the net cost for the period for pensions and seniority bonuses, and also the basic actuarial estimates for the calculation of these labor obligations as of December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009 are summarized as follows:

As of December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009, approximately 76% of the Company’s employees work under collective bargaining agreements that are subject to annual salary reviews and bi-annually, for other compensations. Grupo TMM has 6,861, 6,470, and 5,605 employees as of December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively.

25 Net (loss) income per share

The (loss) income per share was calculated as of December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009 based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. There are no potentially dilutive instruments outstanding, therefore basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share are the same:

26 Commitments and contingencies

a) Commitments -

Concession fees -

Pursuant to the concession under which it operates the ports and tugboat services, the Company must make monthly fixed and variable rental payments. Such payments totaled $376, $443, and $395 in 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively.

Leases and charters -

The Company uses various bareboat and time-chartered vessels to supplement its fleet for periods ranging from seven months to ten years. The related charter expenses were $52,308 in 2007, $62,050 in 2008, and $38,109 in 2009.

An analysis of the minimum charter and lease payments specified in the related agreements, as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, is as follows:


Year	2007		2008
2008		52,398		—
2009		13,532		10,269
2010		4,836		—
2011		1,047		—

	$	71,813	$	10,269

There are no minimum payments for leases and charters as of December 31, 2009.

As part of its truck and trailer fleet renewal program, the Company has entered into long-term operating lease agreements for such equipment, expiring in 2017.

The minimum payments for these operating leases as of December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009, are as follows:


Year	2007		2008		2009

	$	18,596	$	11,486	$	2,331

b) Contingencies -

I) SSA Claims -

In July 2006 and February 2007, Grupo TMM, received two claim notices from SSA México, S.A. de C.V. (“SSA”) concerning certain contingencies affecting SSA, formerly TMM Puertos y Terminales, S.A. de C.V., in terms of the amendment agreement of July 21, 2001 (Amended and Restated Master Agreement).

F-39

On July 4, 2007, SSA filed a claim for arbitration against Grupo TMM for the payment of the PTU (profit sharing) for 2003 that SSA made to its employees, claiming the approximate amount of $3.0 million. On March 17, 2009, Grupo TMM received the judgment on this action with an unfavorable outcome.

SSA filed an action for annulment against the PTU decision for 2003.

It should be mentioned that this same decision states that if the outcome of action for annulment brought were to be favorable to SSA, Grupo TMM would not have to consider this as a cost and therefore the parties have agreed to await the decision, which is most likely to fall in favor of SSA.

II) RPS Claim -

On August 7, 2007, Transportación Maritima Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“TMM”) filed a claim for arbitration against RPS for the amount of $50, for various expenses incurred by TMM due to the delay of the re-delivery of the tanker vessel Palenque.

On October 19, 2007, RPS filed a countersuit for $3.0 million, for alleged faults and lack of maintenance involving the tanker vessel Palenque, and also consequential damages for having lost a contract while the vessel was being repaired.

TMM’s position against this countersuit is strong, as there are sufficient elements and arguments for defense, also the amount claimed by RPS is excessive and for non-supported issues.

III) Mutual claims between WWS and TMM -

In December 2007, Transportación Marítima Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“TMM”) and Worldwide Services, Ltd. (“WWS”) filed claims against each other, TMM for the amount of $342.5 for fuel and low performance of the vessel Veracruz A, and WWS claim for the amount of $1,332, mainly for an over-performance of the same vessel.

We believe we have strong arguments to support our claim and to defend our position at the present arbitration.

IV) Two vessels ordered -

Grupo TMM is a claimant in two arbitrations with a Singapore company (PRM). The arbitrations are conducted under the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) Rules and relate to breaches by PRM under two Memoranda of Agreement (“MOAs”) for the sale of two vessels. Grupo TMM is seeking recovery of the deposits paid for the said vessels in the sum of $5.15 million and damages for breaches of the MOAs. PRM is alleging that Grupo TMM is in breach under the terms of the MOAs and are seeking in their counterclaim, a declaration that the deposits are due to them and for damages to be assessed. The time for parties to file their pleadings in the arbitration has closed and parties are currently in the process of discovery and preparation of witness statements.

Outside legal counsel states that it is difficult at this stage to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome as there is still a waiting period for discovery to be completed. The amount of potential loss would be the deposit of $5.15 million and damages which PRM claim they have suffered of which no particulars have been provided to the outside legal counsel.

V) Other legal proceedings -

The Company is party to various other legal proceedings and administrative actions, all of which are of an ordinary or routine nature and incidental to its operations. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, in the opinion of the Company’s management, such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

F-40

The Company has significant dealings and relationships with related parties. Because of these relationships, in accordance with the Mexican Income Tax Law, the Company must obtain a transfer pricing study for the transactions that took place during 2007, 2008, and 2009 that confirms that the terms of these transactions are the same as those that would result from transactions among wholly unrelated parties. The Company is in the process of completing this study for 2009.

27 Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Grupo TMM’s main financial instruments, other than derivate financial instruments, are bank loans, securitization structures for future income, cash and short term deposits. The main objective of these financial instruments is to provide the Company with all necessary funds to properly perform its operations. The Company has several other financial assets and liabilities, such as commercial credits and commercial payables, which arise directly from its operations.

Grupo TMM also enters into derivate transactions, such as interest rate CAPs as discussed in Note 15. The objective is to manage variable interest rate risks arising from the Company’s operations and from its financing sources. The method to acknowledge the resulting gain or loss depends on the nature of the coverage.

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are the cash flow risk deriving from interest rate variations, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The Company analyzes the risks and determines management policies for each of these risks as described in the following summary.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value coverage and which are highly effective are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability covered that is attributable to the coverage risk.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow coverage and which are highly effective, are recognized in equity. When the projected transaction or commitment by a company brings about the acknowledgement of an asset (e.g. property, machinery and equipment) or a liability, earnings and losses previously recognized in equity are transferred and included in the initial assessment of the asset or liability cost. Otherwise, earnings and losses previously recognized in equity are transferred to the consolidated statement of operations and are classified as income or expense in the same periods in which the company providing the coverage committed itself to doing so or whenever a projected transaction affects the consolidated statement of operations (e.g. when the projected sale takes place). As of December 31, 2009, Grupo TMM only has this type of derivatives.

Changes in the fair value of any derivative not qualifying to be registered in the books as coverage under IAS 39, are immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

When a determined coverage is due or sold, or whenever it does not meet the criteria to be recognized in the books under IAS 39, any cumulative earning or loss is recorded in equity in that moment and remains in it until the committed or projected transaction is finally acknowledged in the consolidated statement of operations. When a committed or projected transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative earnings or losses recorded in equity are immediately acknowledged in the consolidated statement of operations.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company determines fair value estimated amounts through the use of available information in the market, as well as through appropriate assessment methods. However, it is essential to apply good judgment when interpreting market information in order to estimate the fair value.

F-41

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term debt and payables, is netted to carrying values (at amortized cost) according to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of the Company’s loans as well as of other financial obligations is estimated based upon prices quoted within the markets or, alternatively, based upon financing rates offered to the Company for loans with the same maturity periods at the end of each year. Debt with variable interest rates generally represents rates available for the Company in effect as of December 31^, 2009 for the issue of debt under similar terms and maturity periods and, therefore, book record values of these obligations are a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

Cash flow risk

The Group’s exposure to market interest rates variations is mainly related to its long-term debt obligations under floating interest rates.

The Group’s policy is to manage its interests cost by using a combination of a fixed and variable rate of debts. In order to manage this combination with an efficient cost, the Group enters into interest rate swaps, where it commits to interchanging, at determined intervals, the difference between the fixed interest rate and the variable interest rate at amounts that are calculated in reference to an agreed theoretical amount of principal, through agreements in which the Group receives the difference in excess of the maximum interest rate determined in the contracts. This exchange is aimed to cover for the underlying debt obligations.

Foreign currency risk

The balance for the Group may be materially affected by variances in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Mexican peso due to the Company’s significant operations in Mexico. The Group does not cover this exposure. The Group has the objective of minimizing its exposure effects in functional currency by obtaining debt in Mexican pesos. During 2007, the Company issued Trust Certificates in the amount of approximately $230 million ($3,000 million pesos), and issued Trust Certificates for approximately $455.4 million ($5,940 million pesos) in April and July 2008.

The Group also faces a transactional currency exposure. This exposure derives from sales and acquisitions made in foreign currencies other than the US dollar, which is the Group’s functional currency. Around 33% of the Group’s sales are listed in Mexican pesos, while almost 58% of its costs are listed in Mexican pesos.

As of December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009, the Company had monetary assets and liabilities listed in foreign currencies other than the US dollar, classified according to its corresponding interbank exchange rate as related to the US dollar, as follows:


	2007			2008			2009
Assets in Mexican pesos	$	88,458		$	164,334		$	110,199
Assets in other currencies		411			398			836
Liabilities in Mexican pesos		(335,438	)		(692,034	)		(759,416	)
Liabilities in other currencies		(258	)		(5,742	)		(1,894	)

	$	(246,827	)	$	(533,044	)	$	(650,275	)

As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, the exchange rate was Ps13.7738 and Ps 13.0437 per US dollar, respectively. As of the issue date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the exchange rate was Ps12.2356 per US dollar and the Company’s monetary asset and liability position (unaudited) is similar to that prevailing as of December 31, 2009.

Commodity prices risk

The Company does not operate with commodities, therefore this risk is nonexistent.

F-42

Interest rate risks

The exposure of Grupo TMM to the risk of changes in market interest rates is related principally to the long-term debt obligations of Grupo TMM at a floating interest rate. Grupo TMM’s policy is to obtain fixed rated instruments on its loans and, when a loan has a variable interest rate, the Company’s policy is to obtain all needed derivate financial instruments in order to fix such rate. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has approximately $173.4 and $698.6 million ($2,261.6 and $9,112.2 million pesos) of debt leased at a fixed and variable rate, respectively.

The variable rate portion of the debt associated with the Tranches under the Trust Certificate Program, for an approximate amount of $679.0 million ($8,857.2 million pesos) has an interest rate cap that permits the maximum payable rate that can be required of the Issuing Trust to be 11.50% per annum during the first 4 and 3 years of the three Tranches, respectively.

Credit risk

The Group only has dealings with solvent third parties. Grupo TMM’s policy is that all customers who prefer to operate under credit conditions are subject to credit verification procedures. Moreover, receivable balances are constantly watched so that the Group’s exposure loss on receivables is not significant.

Regarding the credit risks deriving from other financial assets of Grupo TMM, which include cash and cash equivalents, financial assets available for sale and certain derivative instruments, Grupo TMM’s exposure to risks is related to the possibility of non-compliance by its counterparts, with a maximum exposure which is equivalent to the sum of such instruments. Due to the fact that Grupo TMM only performs this kind of operations with third parties whose solvency is thoroughly acknowledged, the Company does not demand for guarantees.

Concentration of risk

As of the month of December 2009, the Company had obtained revenues from PEMEX Exploration and Production and PEMEX Refining representing 26% and 11%, respectively, of the total revenues, and no other customer represents more than 5% of total revenues.

The Company assesses its customer financial situation and has a delinquent accounts reserve if needed.

Liquidity risk

The objective of the Group is to maintain a balance between the continuity of financing and flexibility through the use of bank loans and securitization. As of December 2009 only 3% of the Company’s financial liabilities are due within the next 12 months.

Capital management

With the objective of improving its returns for stockholders, the Company contracts debt under the best possible market conditions to invest in fixed operating assets that will, at the same time, allow the Company to maintain an adequate relationship between its capital value and debt.

28 Subsequent events:

Sale of joint venture and associated companies (Grupo Seglo)

On April 20, 2010, it was agreed that Grupo TMM sell its stockholdings in the companies that comprised Grupo Seglo (see Note 1) to its partner at 50% in the subsidiary company and at 39% in the other associated companies, for $4.9 million (Ps 60 million).
