ICA’s major business units continued to develop during the third quarter of 2010, achieving double-digit growth in consolidated revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, with increases of 23% and 21%, respectively. The Airports division created a Ps. 145 million provision during the quarter as a result of the bankruptcy filing of the Grupo Mexicana airlines, which negatively affected our results. Excluding this effect, Adjusted EBITDA would have increased 34%, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.5%.
For the first nine months of 2010, ICA’s revenues and Adjusted EBITDA recorded double-digit growth rates of 15% and 17%, respectively, despite the provision in the Airports division. Net income of majority interest for the first nine months of 2010 was Ps. 589 million, an increase of 10% as compared to the prior year period.
High levels of work continued to be executed on the major civil construction projects including Mexico City’s Metro Line 12, the La Yesca Hydroelectric project, and the Eastern Outlet Tunnel. In Industrial Construction, the four clean fuels projects that were awarded last year and in the first months of the current year began generating significant revenues. As a result, Industrial construction Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% during the quarter. Our construction backlog was Ps. 33,733 million as of September 30, 2010.

 | EARNINGS REPORT |

In the concessions division, the Queretaro-Irapuato public-private partnership (PPP) highway went into service in July 2010, increasing to six the total number of operating highway concessions. Housing results also improved, principally because of the consolidation of Los Portales in the results of this segment. Airports recorded growth in passenger traffic, cargo, and double-digit increases in both aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues.
One of ICA’s medium-term objectives is to develop and sustain a balanced mix of businesses in the construction, infrastructure operations, and housing sectors. We believe that this will maximize growth opportunities, and increase the return on equity. The key to executing this strategy has been and will continue to be to increase significantly our participation in the infrastructure sector. At the same time, our infrastructure investments should be seen as an actively managed portfolio of investments; some will be held to maturity, others will be monetized prior to maturity, based on market developments or opportunities to redeploy capital in new projects.
It is in keeping with this objective that ICA entered into a preliminary, non-binding agreement during the quarter with its tollroad affiliate Red de Carreteras de Occidente (RCO) to transfer two of its PPP highways to RCO in exchange for an increased shareholding in RCO and some cash.

· | Civil Construction revenues increased principally as a result of execution of the Mexico City Metro Line 12 and the La Yesca hydroelectric project, and projects such as the Eastern Outlet Tunnel. |
· | Adjusted EBITDA increased as a result of the execution of the projects mentioned above, an increase in depreciation and amortization, as well as the interest expense included in cost of sales for La Yesca. |
· | Debt increased principally due to additional draws on the La Yesca debt facility as a result of approved certifications for completed work on the project. The La Yesca hydroelectric project, which has been undertaken under the financed public works mechanism, accounted for 60% of debt in Civil Construction. The debt is expected to be repaid in full upon project completion. |

· | Debt decreased principally as a result of a lower requirement for working capital financing on the Chicontepec II project, and the completion of the financing for the Dos Bocas terminal project. |
· | Industrial Construction backlog increased 30% as compared to September 30, 2009 as a result of the award of new projects including the clean fuels projects for the Minatitlán and Salina Cruz refineries and increases in other previously awarded contracts during 3Q10. Industrial Construction backlog accounts for 27% of total Backlog, as compared to 9% as of September 30, 2009. |

· | Despite positive results in Morocco, Central America, and Mexico, revenues and operating margins decreased because of the economic recession in Spain and Portugal. The infrastructure market in Spain has been affected by cuts in government budgets, which resulted in the cancellation of some projects and delays in the startup of others. |
· | Rodio has implemented a restructuring to adapt the organization to current market conditions and has created a provision for this restructuring. |

· | The Queretaro-Irapuato PPP highway started operations in July 2010, becoming ICA’s sixth operating highway concession. |
· | Revenues increased compared to 3Q09 principally because of an increase in revenues generated by projects under construction, principally the Nuevo Necaxa-Tihuatlán, Rio Verde-Ciudad Valles, and Querétaro- Irapuato highways. |
· | Adjusted EBITDA increased principally as a result of an increase in net interest expense included in cost of sales from the growing number of financed projects under construction, as well as a reduction in the costs of some operating concessions. |
· | Debt increased as a result of the advance in the execution of projects that are under construction, principally the Río Verde-Ciudad Valles highway, the Nuevo Necaxa-Tihuatlán highway, Aqueduct II, and the La Piedad bypass. |
· | ICA has five concessioned water projects and 11 highways. Of the 16 concessions, seven are in operation. |

· | The Airports division includes Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA), Aeroinvest, and Servicios de Tecnología Aeroportuaria (SETA). |
· | During the third quarter of 2010, total revenues increased 17%; aeronautical revenues grew 12% and non-aeronautical revenues grew 38%. Noteworthy were the increased revenues generated by the NH Terminal 2 Hotel at the Mexico City International Airport, other leases (+25%), advertising (+22%), restaurants (+25%), and OMA Carga (+50%), as well as increases in passenger charges. As a result of the bankruptcy filing by the airlines of Grupo Mexicana (Mexicana de Aviación, Click Mexicana, and Mexicana Link) and their suspension of operations, the Company created a provision for Ps. 145 million, equivalent to 100% of Grupo Mexicana receivables. This provision is recorded under cost of services and affected operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. |
· | Passenger traffic grew 4.3%. The NH Terminal 2 Hotel in the Mexico City International Airport continued to increase its average occupancy rate, reaching 71% in the quarter and 83% in September. |
· | Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 69% and 40%, respectively, as a result of the Grupo Mexicana provision. Excluding this effect, Adjusted EBITDA would have increased 12% in 3Q10. |
· | OMA has started the legal proceedings to recover the accounts receivable with Grupo Mexicana. |
· | The earnings report of OMA, which is the operating company in the Airports segment, can be found at http://www.bmv.com.mx or http://ir.oma.aero. Those results differ from the ones presented here as a result of consolidation effects. |

· | The proportional share of Los Portales’ revenues in 3Q10 was Ps. 174 million. |
· | ViveICA sold 1,832 units in 3Q10, at an average price of Ps. 304,813. |

· | Revenues increased 23% to Ps. 9,454 million in 3Q10, as compared to Ps. 7,672 million in 3Q09. Five of the six divisions recorded growth in revenues. Civil Construction accounted for 85% of the increase in revenues, followed by Housing and Industrial Construction. |
· | Cost of sales increased 25% during the quarter. Cost of sales includes a provision for doubtful accounts of Ps. 145 million in the Airports division. Cost of sales also includes interest expense on financed projects in Civil Construction, Industrial Construction, Concessions, and Housing. |
· | Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 7.3% of revenues from 6.9% because of the addition of new business units, such as COTRISA and the proportional consolidation of Los Portales starting 2Q10, and an increase in bid preparation and promotion expenses. |
· | Operating income was Ps. 663 million in 3Q10, a decrease of 1%. The Construction segment contributed 45% of operating income, Infrastructure 26%, and Housing 10%. The consolidated operating margin was 7.0%, as compared to 8.7% in 3Q09. Excluding OMA’s provision for Mexicana in the Airports division, operating income would have increased 21% and the operating margin would have been 8.5%. |
· | Adjusted EBITDA was Ps. 1,411 million, an increase of 21% over 3Q09. Construction contributed 48% and Concessions 26% of the total. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the effect of the Airports provision, would have increased 34%, with a margin of 16.5%. |
· | Other Income (loss) was a loss of Ps. 77 million, as a result of a decrease in fixed assets and the provision of Rodio restructuring. |
· | Comprehensive financing cost increased principally as a result of higher interest expense which was partially offset by a smaller exchange loss. |

· | Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure computed under U.S. GAAP or MFRS and should not be considered an indicator of financial performance or free cash flow. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income of majority interest plus (i) net income of minority interest, (ii) income taxes, (iii) share in net income of affiliates, (iv) comprehensive financing cost, (v) other (income) expense, net, (vi) depreciation and amortization, and (vii) net interest expense included in cost of sales. Our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of its performance, supplemental to net income and operating income, because it excludes the effects of financing decisions, minority shareholdings, and other non-operating items. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is also provided as a result of requests from the financial community and is widely used by investor s in order to calculate ratios and to make estimates of the total value of our company in comparison to other companies. Financial ratios calculated on the base of Adjusted EBITDA are also widely used by credit providers in order to gauge the debt servicing capacity of companies and are relevant measures under one or more of our subsidiaries’ financing agreements. |

Agreement to Sell the Corredor Sur Concession in Panama: On March 25, 2010, ICA announced that it had reached a non-binding agreement with the Government of Panama to sell it the Corredor Sur tollroad for US$420 million. As of today, the negotiation of the definitive agreement and documentation between ICA and the Government of Panama continues.
Potential Transfer of the Irapuato – La Piedad and Querétaro – Irapuato Projects to RCO: On September 9, 2010, ICA announced that it entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Red de Carreteras de Occidente, S.A.P.I.B. de C.V. (“RCO”) to transfer 100% of ICA’s shares in Concesionaria Irapuato La Piedad, S.A. de C.V. (“CONIPSA”) and Concesionaria de Vías Irapuato Queretaro, S.A. de C.V. (“COVIQSA”) to RCO. In exchange for the shares in CONIPSA and COVIQSA, ICA would receive consideration in cash and, principally, additional shares in RCO. As of today, ICA and RCO continue to negotiate the definitive documentation, and are taking the steps to obtain the required governmental and corporate approvals, as well as to meet such other conditions precedent that are standard for these kinds of transactions.
Campeche Playa/Faros de Panamá: In September 2010, ICA announced that it took control of the Board of Directors of the companies developing the Campeche Playa, Golf, Marina & Spa Resort project, exercising its rights as a creditor for the project. ICA took this action in order to protect its investment in this tourism project in the State of Campeche, after continued failure by the developers to meet their commitments.
ICA has acted as the general contractor for the project, and had accounts receivable related to the project totaling approximately Ps. 1,600 million as of September 30, 2010. These financings are secured by 94% of the shares of the development companies and substantially all their assets, which include the buildings under construction, a golf course, and more than 289 hectares of prime beach front land.
The foreclosure on the property and other collateral is in process. However, there is ongoing litigation and dispute resolution proceedings related to the foreclosure on the project, the control of the Board of Directors and the related construction contracts. While ICA believes that an adverse decision on these proceedings is unlikely, the Company can provide no assurance that the accounts receivable related to the project will be collected or litigation will not delay or otherwise affect the completion of the project.
In addition, ICA has accounts receivable totaling approximately US$43 million with the same developer for the construction work on the foundation of the Faros de Panamá project, in Panama City, Panama. This receivable is secured by a mortgage on the land where the project is located. The process for foreclosing on this mortgage is advancing satisfactorily. The appraised value of the underlying property fully covers the amount of the receivable.

Notes and disclaimers
Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS): Financial statements and other information are presented in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards and their Interpretations (INIFs). These norms differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.
Unaudited financials: Financial statements are unaudited, preliminary statements.
Prior period comparisons: Unless stated otherwise, all comparisons of operating or financial results are made with respect to the comparable prior-year period. Percentage changes are calculated with respect to the actual numbers.
Early adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: In January 2009, the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) published amendments to its Circular for Issuers to make mandatory the presentation of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) starting with the year ending December 31, 2012, but allowing for early adoption. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allows foreign issuers, to eliminate the reconciliation of financial statements prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) with U.S. GAAP, if the statements are prepared under IFRS.
The Board of Directors agreed to elect early adoption of IFRS for the year ending December 31, 2011, and to consider January 1, 2010 as “the start date for the transition period.”
Since Mexican Financial Reporting Standards are in the process of convergence with IFRS and since the process of adopting the norms applicable to the principal business activities of the Company (construction, concessions, and housing) has been completed, the effects of the differences between the two norms is not expected to be significant. Following are the unaudited estimated effects of the change on the opening balance sheet (January 1, 2010) as a result of the differences between the two accounting standards. The Company will continue its process of quantification, and the estimated figures may change until this process has been concluded and has been reviewed by the Company’s external auditors.

Recalculation of financial statements:
a) | During 2Q10, we increased our shareholding Los Portales, S.A., in Peru from 18% to 50%, and began proportional consolidation of its results. For 2Q10, Los Portales was included in the Infrastructure segment. However, since its principal business is in the real estate development area, it was decided to include it in the Housing segment. In order to make comparable the segment information, the results previously reported for 2Q10 have been recalculated. The effect of the recalculation on the Housing and Infrastructure segments is shown below: |

b) | The financial statements previously issued for the period ended September 30, 2009 were recalculated as the result of the adoption of NIF B-8, “Consolidated or combined financial statements.” As a result, ICA adopted the proportional consolidation method for the results of its subsidiary ICA Fluor, which is a joint investment with Fluor Corporation. This NIF establishes that full consolidation of a subsidiary requires control, defined as the power to decide financial and operating policies, and not simply holding a majority of voting shares. As a result of the application of this norm, net income of majority interest is unchanged. However, revenues and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities are consolidated 51%. Previously, ICA Fluor was consolidated 100%. Financial statements for prior periods have been recalculated. |

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure computed under U.S. GAAP or MFRS and should not be considered an indicator of financial performance or free cash flow. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income of majority interest plus (i) net income of minority interest, (ii) income taxes, (iii) share in net income of affiliates, (iv) comprehensive financing cost, (v) other (income) expense, net, (vi) depreciation and amortization, and (vii) net interest expense included in cost of sales. Our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of its performance, supplemental to net income and operating income, because it excludes the effects of financing decisions, minority shareholdings, and other non-operating items. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is also pro vided as a result of requests from the financial community and is widely used by investors in order to calculate ratios and to make estimates of the total value of our company in comparison to other companies. Financial ratios calculated on the base of Adjusted EBITDA are also widely used by credit providers in order to gauge the debt servicing capacity of companies and are relevant measures under one or more of our or our subsidiaries’ financing agreements.
Exchange rate: Amounts in U.S. dollars (US$) are converted at an exchange rate of Ps. 12.535 per U.S. dollar.
Financial Derivative Instruments: ICA enters into financial derivative contracts in the subsidiaries where projects are located solely in order to reduce the uncertainty on the returns on projects. The instruments contracted are established on a notional amount. Interest rate derivatives are used in order to fix maximum financial costs. Exchange rate derivatives are contracted in order to reduce the exchange risk on projects that incur labor and materials costs in a currency different from the currency of the financing of the project. ICA contracts its financings in the same currency as the source of repayment.
From an accounting perspective, there are two classifications for derivative instruments. “Hedging financial instruments” must meet the specific requirements established in Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS). Other derivative financial instruments that do not meet MFRS requirements for hedge accounting treatment are designated as trading derivatives. ICA values all derivatives at fair value. Fair value is based on market prices for derivatives traded in recognized markets; if no active market exists, fair value is based on other valuation methodologies, validated by third party experts, and supported by sufficient, reliable, and verifiable information. Fair value is recognized in the balance sheet as an asset or liability, in accordance with the rights or obligations derived from the contracts executed and in accordance wit h accounting norms. Changes in fair value are recorded temporarily in comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity, and are subsequently reclassified to results at the same time that they are affected by the item being hedged. For trading derivatives, the fluctuation in fair value is recognized in results of the period.
Forward looking statements: This report may contain projections or other forward-looking statements related to ICA that involve risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that these statements are only projections of future events based on assumptions and estimates ICA believes to be reasonable, but these projections may differ materially from actual future results or events. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic, business or political or other conditions in Mexico or changes in general economic or business conditions in Latin America, changes in capital markets in general that may affect policies or attitudes towards lending to Mexico or Mexican companies, chang es in tax and other laws affecting ICA’s businesses, increased costs, unanticipated increases in financing and other costs or the inability to obtain additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms. Readers are referred to the documents filed by ICA with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent filing on Form 20-F which identifies important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to ICA on the date hereof, and ICA assumes no obligation to update such statements.
