These factors are not the only factors. Those that are not known to date or those not considered currently relevant, which in the event that they should materialize in the future, might have a significant adverse effect on the liquidity, operations or financial position of Grupo TMM.


The deconsolidation of TMMDM will bring about a decrease in the consolidated debt of GTMM, and a decrease in the consolidated revenues of the Group. We do not have a forecast of whether or not there will be a variation in the market value of the stock of GTMM, in dealing with a reduction in the size of the size of the Company. However, this deconsolidation will strengthen the balance sheet of GTMM.

MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATING INCOME AND FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE ISSUER


i)
Operating Income

The Statement of Income of Grupo TMM will maintain the operations of TMMDM up to the date of its deconsolidation. After that date, it will no longer report the operations of suppliers, tankers, and tugboats owned by TMMDM, thereby reducing its revenues, costs, expenses, and depreciation.


ii)
Financial position, liquidity and capital resources

One of the most significant changes takes place in the comprehensive cost of financing, by decreasing more that 90% of its value upon deconsolidating the costs associated with the Securities Exchange Certificates. Consequently, this is conducive to a better debt to capital ratio and a higher free flow.

Independent Public Accountants' Report on the compilation of pro forma financial information included in the prospectus on the corporate restructuring
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
    Grupo TMM, S.A.B. and Subsidiary Companies:
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Grupo TMM, S.A.B. and Subsidiary companies (Grupo TMM or the Company), which consists of the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at September 30, 2017, and other explanatory information (jointly 'pro forma financial information'), which is included as part of the prospectus on the corporate restructuring as required by the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV). The applicable criteria on basis of which Grupo TMM has compiled the pro forma financial information are described in Note 3 (the criteria).
The pro forma financial information has been compiled by Management to illustrate the impact of the pro forma adjustments described in Note 3 to the financial position of Grupo TMM as at September 30, 2017, as if the events and transactions that gave rise to those adjustments had taken place as at September 30, 2017. As part of this process, information about Company's financial position has been extracted by Management from the sources discussed in detail in Note 3.
Management's Responsibility for the pro forma financial information
Management is responsible for the compilation, preparation, and fair presentation of this pro forma financial information, as well as the source of the criteria used in accordance with the bases of preparation described in Note 3, as well as of the internal control that Management deemed necessary for the preparation of the pro forma financial information to be realized free of material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Independent public accountant's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by the CNBV and based on our assurance engagement, as to whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, by Company's Management on the basis described in Note 3.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements "ISAE 3420 Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus", issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether Company's Management has compiled, in all material respects, the pro forma financial information on the basis described in Note 3.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any report or opinion on any historical financial information used in compilating the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.
The purpose of the pro forma financial information included in the prospectus on the corporate restructuring is solely to illustrate the impact of the significant events and transactions on the unadjusted financial information of Grupo TMM as if the events had occurred or the transactions had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the events and transactions at September 30, 2017 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all its material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by Company's Management in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the events and transactions, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
* The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
* The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unaudited financial information
The procedures selected depend on the judgment of the independent public accountant, having regard to his understanding of the nature of Company, the events and transactions in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the pro forma financial information of Grupo TMM, S.A.B. and Subsidiary companies as at September 30, 2017 has been compiled, in all its material respects, on the basis of the criteria described in Note 3.
Limitation and restriction of use
The pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Company to meet the requirements of the CNBV in connection with the corporate restructuring described in Note 1. Therefore, pro forma financial information cannot be appropriate for any other purpose. On the other hand, our report is issued only to meet the requirements of the CNBV. Consequently, it can neither be used nor can reference be made thereto for any other purpose, nor in a jurisdiction other than, or outside of the Mexican United States.

Description of the corporate restructuring and cancellation of the mandatorily convertible debentures into shares
The corporate restructuring and consequent improvement of the Company's debt profile will be submitted to the stockholders for approval at the general extraordinary stockholders' meeting of Grupo TMM to be held  on December 15, 2017.
Corporate restructuring will consist in the dilution of the interest of Grupo TMM in the subsidiary TMM Division Maritima, S.A. de C.V. ('TMMDM'), with the corresponding loss of control over that subsidiary and retaining an interest therein. Pursuant to the foregoing, as at the date on which control is lost over TMMDM, its total assets, liabilities, and operations will be deconsolidated from the financial statements of the Company. In turn, the investment in retained shares will be recognized as at that date.


On the other hand, the Company will cancel the mandatorily convertible debentures into nominative common shares and with no par value shown representative of the capital stock of Grupo TMM (the debentures), issued on September 30, 2016 named TMMO Series I-2016 in a total amount of $1,058,628 (equivalent to 10,586,284 debentures with a par value of $100 pesos), which were subscribed for through Securities Exchange Certificates ('CBFs') that the holders held at the time they were subscribed.
2 Basis of presentation of the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position
Pursuant to the corporate restructuring and the cancellation of mandatorily convertible debentures, the Company is required to present the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at September 30, 2017, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

The pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at September 30, 2017 was prepared as if the corporate restructuring and cancellation of mandatorily convertible debentures had occurred as at September 30, 2017.

3 Pro forma adjustments
In order to reflect the effects of the corporate restructuring and cancellation of mandatorily convertible debentures in the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position, certain pro forma adjustments were made as follows:
3.1
Corporate restructuring
In conformity with the resolutions adopted at the Holders of Securities Exchange Certificates Meeting held on November 13, 2017 and ratified on November 28, 2017, 85% of the shares representative of the capital stock of TMMDM in benefit of the Holders, either directly through a stock purchase or subscription of capital, or indirectly through the contribution of that stock to a control and/or guarantee trust, or through any other structure that can be implemented for such purposes, upon authorization of the Holders meeting. Toward that end, the necessary corporate acts will be carried out and always considering that such a transmission will not contemplate a consideration or significant subscription value of stock.

Since Grupo TMM will maintain a percentage of interest in TMMDM of only 15% and based on the statutes thereof, Grupo TMM will no longer have control over TMMDM and maintain a stock investment, which will be recognized as an investment in an associate, since Grupo TMM will have significant influence.

In accordance with IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', the book entry of the loss of control over TMMDM in the consolidated financial statements of Grupo TMM is realized as follows:

it no longer recognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary at their book value;
it recognizes any stock investment retained in TMMDM at fair value; and
it recognizes any income or loss in the results of the period attributable to Grupo TMM.



 

 
The pro forma adjustments due to the deconsolidation of TMMDM are as follows:

Since TMMDM maintains a negative balance in its stockholders' equity, Grupo TMM Management has decided to recognize the investment in an associate at a zero value, which it will maintain in TMMDM. Subsequently, this investment will be recorded in the accounting by using the equity method, which resulted in an investment in an associate with a book value of zero, pursuant to the negative stockholders' equity.

3.2
Cancellation of mandatorily convertible debentures into shares
In accordance with IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' a compound financial instrument is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, canceled or expires. That retirement is recognized at its corresponding carrying value, including the corresponding transaction costs. Moreover, when that derecognition of the financial instrument is carried out through the delivery of another financial instrument. Any difference between both financial instruments is recognized in income (loss) for the period.

At the General Extraordinary Stockholders' Meeting of Transportacion Trasatlantica Mexicana, S.A. held on August 30, 2016, the stockholders resolved to approve the issue of mandatorily convertible debentures into nominative ordinary shares without par value shown representative of the capital stock of Grupo TMM (the debentures) up to an amount of $4,600,000.

As at September 30, 2016, the first issue was realized of debentures named TMMO Series I-2016, in a total amount of $1,058,628, equivalent to 10,586,284 debentures with a par value of $100 pesos. These debentures were subscribed through CBFs that the holders held at the time of the subscription.

Grupo TMM will agree upon the cancellation of the issue of the debentures described above with the holders thereof. The terms of this cancellation contemplate the settlement of these debentures through the delivery of CBFs by Grupo TMM in an amount equivalent to the par value of the CBFs plus unpaid accrued interest. The amount of the settlement will be similar to the carrying value of the debentures pursuant to the terms of the debentures and, therefore, no gain or loss will be generated by this cancellation.

The pro forma adjustments due to the cancellation of the debentures are shown below:
