Petróleos Mexicanos retransmits its report corresponding to the fourth quarter of 2009 with preliminary figures (herein referred to as the “Report”) to the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (Mexican Stock Exchange) due to the following:
Petróleos Mexicanos made an adjustment to the preliminary figures of the Report which consisted of eliminating the unrealized profits derived from interorganizational and intercompany operations. This is in accordance with the Norma de Información Financiera B-8 “Estados Financieros Consolidados o Combinados” (Financial Information Regulation B-8 “Consolidated or Combined Financial Statements.”
This adjustment increased the realized net loss by Ps. 48,522 million.
It is important to note that this adjustment was detected and reported by the administration of PEMEX to its independent auditor, KPMG Cárdenas Dosal, S.C., as part of its auditing work which it is carrying out for purposes of the release of the consolidated financial statements of PEMEX as of 2009 under the Normas de Información Financiera (Financial Information Regulations).
