- •
- the information contained in this prospectus is true and correct in all material respects and is not misleading;
- •

Petróleos Mexicanos, as guarantor, will file an application to register the new securities with theSección Especial del Registro Nacional de Valores (the Special Section of the National Registry of Securities) maintained by theComisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (National Banking and Securities Commission) of the United Mexican States ("Mexico"). Registration of the new securities with the Special Section of the Registry does not imply any certification as to the investment quality of the new securities, the solvency of the issuer, the guarantor or the subsidiary guarantors or the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this prospectus. The new securities may not be publicly offered or sold in Mexico.
Petróleos Mexicanos files annual and other information (File No. 0-99) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms.
Separate financial statements of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust have not been included in this prospectus. Petróleos Mexicanos does not believe that these financial statements would be material to you because (i) Petróleos Mexicanos, an SEC reporting company, is the sole beneficiary of the issuer, (ii) the issuer has no independent operations, and (iii) Petróleos Mexicanos has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the issuer's obligations under the securities.
In its future filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a footnote to Petróleos Mexicanos' annual financial statements will state that the issuer is consolidated with Petróleos Mexicanos, and that the guarantee, when taken together with the indenture, the trust agreement of the issuer and Petróleos Mexicanos' obligations to pay all fees and expenses of the issuer, constitutes a full and unconditional guarantee by Petróleos Mexicanos of the issuer's obligations under the securities.
We have filed a registration statement with the SEC on Form F-4 covering the new securities. This prospectus does not contain all of the information included in the registration statement. Any statement made in this prospectus concerning the contents of any contract, agreement or other document is not necessarily complete.

Each statement regarding a contract, agreement or other document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual document.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. This prospectus includes specific terms of the securities we are offering, as well as information regarding our business and detailed financial data. We encourage you to read this prospectus in its entirety.
The Issuer
The issuer, Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, is a Delaware statutory trust established by Petróleos Mexicanos pursuant to the terms of a trust agreement dated as of November 10, 1998 among The Bank of New York, as Managing Trustee, The Bank of New York (Delaware), as Delaware Trustee and Petróleos Mexicanos, as sole beneficiary. The issuer is a financing vehicle for the long-term productive infrastructure projects of Petróleos Mexicanos, which we refer to as PIDIREGAS. The Delaware office of the issuer is The Bank of New York (Delaware), White Clay Center, Newark, DE 19711; the office of the Managing Trustee of the issuer is The Bank of New York, Corporate Trust Global Structured Finance Unit, 101 Barclay Street, Floor 21 West, New York, NY 10286.
PEMEX
Petróleos Mexicanos is a decentralized public entity of the federal government of the United Mexican States ("Mexico"). The Mexican Congress established Petróleos Mexicanos on June 7, 1938 in conjunction with the nationalization of the foreign oil companies then operating in Mexico. Its operations are carried out through four principal subsidiary entities, which are Pemex-Exploración y Producción (Pemex-Exploration and Production), Pemex-Refinación (Pemex-Refining), Pemex-Gas y Petroquímica Básica (Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals) and Pemex-Petroquímica (Pemex-Petrochemicals). Petróleos Mexicanos and each of the subsidiary entities are decentralized public entities of Mexico and legal entities empowered to own property and carry on business in their own names. In addition, a number of subsidiary companies, including Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, are incorporated into the consolidated financial statements. We refer to Petróleos Mexicanos, the subsidiary entities and the consolidated subsidiary companies as PEMEX, and together they comprise Mexico's state oil and gas company.
The Exchange Offers
On November 26, 2001 we issued U.S. $750,000,000 of 8.00% Notes due 2011. We refer to these securities as the "8.00% old notes." On February 1, 2002 we issued U.S. $1,000,000,000 of 7.875% Notes due 2009. We refer to these securities as the "7.875% old notes." On February 1, 2002 we also issued U.S. $500,000,000 of 8.625% Bonds due 2022. We refer to these securities as the "8.625% old bonds." On December 12, 2002 we issued U.S. $1,000,000,000 of 7.375% Notes due 2014. We refer to these securities as the "7.375% old notes."
We are offering new, registered securities in exchange for the 8.00% old notes, the 7.875% old notes, the 8.625% old bonds and the 7.375% old notes, which were unregistered securities and which we issued and sold to certain initial purchasers. These initial purchasers sold the old securities in offshore transactions and to qualified institutional buyers in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In this prospectus, we refer to the unregistered securities that we have already issued as the old securities, and the securities that we are now offering as the new securities.
The old securities and the new securities are guaranteed by Petróleos Mexicanos. Three of the subsidiary entities of Petróleos Mexicanos guarantee its obligations as guarantor of the securities. These subsidiary entities are Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals.
5
Registration Rights Agreement
Each time we issued the old securities, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of those old securities in which we agreed to do our best to complete the exchange offer of the old securities on or prior to a particular date. For the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds, we agreed to do our best to complete the exchange offers on or prior to October 2, 2002. We were not able to complete the exchange offers by October 2, 2002 and, as a result, the old securities began to earn additional interest at the rate of 0.25% per year on September 3, 2002, and are now earning additional interest at the rate of 0.50% per year. This additional interest will stop when we complete the exchange offers. For the 7.375% old notes, we agreed to do our best to complete the exchange offer on or prior to October 2, 2003.
The Exchange Offers
Under the terms of the exchange offers, holders of each series of old securities are entitled to exchange old securities for new securities with substantially identical terms.
You should read the discussion under the heading "Description of the New Securities" for further information about the new securities and the discussion under the heading "The Exchange Offers" for more information about the exchange process. The 8.00% old notes may be tendered only in a principal amount of U.S. $10,000 and integral multiples thereof. The 7.875% old notes, 8.625% old bonds and 7.375% old notes may be tendered only in a principal amount of U.S. $10,000 and integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof.
The series of new securities that we will issue in exchange for old securities will correspond to the series of old securities tendered as follows:
New Securities Series | Corresponding Old Securities Series | |
---|---|---|
8.00% new notes due 2011 | 8.00% old notes due 2011 | |
7.875% new notes due 2009 | 7.875% old notes due 2009 | |
8.625% new bonds due 2022 | 8.625% old bonds due 2022 | |
7.375% new notes due 2014 | 7.375% old notes due 2014 |
As of the date of this prospectus, the following amounts of each series of old securities are outstanding:
- •
- $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.00% old notes due 2011;

Resale of New Securities
We believe that you may offer the new securities issued in the exchange offers for resale, resell them or otherwise transfer them without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, as long as:
- •
- you are acquiring the new securities in the ordinary course of your business;
6
- •
- you are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the new securities; and
- •
- you are not an "affiliate" of ours, as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act.
If any statement above is not true and you transfer any new security without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not assume responsibility for or indemnify you against this liability.
If you are a broker-dealer and receive new securities for your own account in exchange for old securities that you acquired as a result of market making or other trading activities, you must acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new securities. We will make this prospectus available to broker-dealers for use in resales for 180 days after the expiration date of these exchange offers.
Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Securities
If you do not exchange your old securities for new securities, you will continue to hold your old securities. You will no longer be able to require that we register the old securities under the Securities Act and you will no longer be entitled to additional interest. In addition, you will not be able to offer or sell the old securities unless:
- •
- they are registered under the Securities Act, or
- •
- you offer or sell them under an exemption from the requirements of, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.
Expiration Date
The exchange offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 25, 2003, unless we decide to extend the expiration date.
Interest on the New Securities
The 8.00% new notes will accrue interest at 8.00% per year, accruing from November 15, 2002, the last date on which we paid interest on the 8.00% old notes you exchanged. In addition, the 8.00% new notes will bear additional interest during the period from November 15, 2002 until the date the exchange offer is completed, at the rate of 0.25% per year until December 2, 2002, and thereafter at the rate of 0.50% per year.
The 7.875% new notes will accrue interest at 7.875% per year, accruing from February 1, 2003, the last date on which we paid interest on the 7.875% old notes you exchanged. In addition, the 7.875% new notes will bear additional interest during the period from February 1, 2003 until the date the exchange offer is completed, at the rate of 0.50% per year.
The 8.625% new bonds will accrue interest at 8.625% per year, accruing from February 1, 2003, the last date on which we paid interest on the 8.625% old bonds you exchanged. In addition, the 8.625% new bonds will bear additional interest during the period from February 1, 2003 until the date the exchange offer is completed, at the rate of 0.50% per year.
The 7.375% new notes will accrue interest at 7.375% per year, accruing from December 12, 2002, the date on which the 7.375% old notes were issued.
We will pay interest on the 8.00% new notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year. We will pay interest on the 7.875% new notes and the 8.625% new bonds on February 1 and August 1 of each year. We will pay interest on the 7.375% new notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year.

Conditions to the Exchange Offers
We may terminate the exchange offers and refuse to accept any old securities for exchange if:
- •
- there has been a change in applicable law or the SEC staff's interpretation of applicable law, and the exchange offers are not permitted under applicable law or applicable SEC staff interpretations of law; or
- •
- there is a stop order in effect or threatened with respect to the exchange offers or the indenture governing the securities.
We have not made any of the exchange offers contingent on holders tendering any minimum principal amount of old securities for exchange.
Procedure for Tendering Old Securities
If you wish to accept the exchange offers, you must:
- •
- complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, and
- •
- deliver electronically the letter of transmittal together with the old securities through The Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") system.
If you are not a direct participant in DTC, you must, in accordance with the rules of the DTC participant who holds your securities:
- •
- submit a completed, signed and dated letter of transmittal, and
- •
- deliver computerized instructions to that DTC participant so that it may follow the procedures described above before the expiration date.
Withdrawal Rights
You may withdraw the tender of your old securities at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, unless we have already accepted your old securities. To withdraw, you must send a written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent through the electronic submission of a message in accordance with the procedures of DTC's ATOP system by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
Acceptance of Old Securities and Delivery of New Securities
If all of the conditions to the exchange offers are satisfied or waived, we will accept any and all old securities that are properly tendered in the exchange offers prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will deliver the new securities as promptly as practicable after the expiration date.
Tax Considerations
We believe that the exchange of old securities for new securities will not be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal and Mexican income tax purposes. You should consult your tax advisor about the tax consequences of this exchange as they apply to your individual circumstances.
Fees and Expenses
We will bear all expenses related to consummating the exchange offers and complying with the registration rights agreement. The initial purchasers have agreed to reimburse us for certain of these expenses.

These additional securities may be consolidated to form a single series with the corresponding new securities.
Withholding Tax; Additional Amounts
We will make all principal and interest payments on the new securities without any withholding or deduction for Mexican withholding taxes, unless we are required by law to do so. In some cases where we are obliged to withhold or deduct a portion of the payment, we will pay additional amounts so that you will receive the amount that you would have received had no tax been withheld or deducted. For a description of when you would be entitled to receive additional amounts, see "Description of the New Securities—Additional Amounts."
Tax Redemption
If, as a result of certain changes in Mexican law, the issuer or Petróleos Mexicanos is obligated to pay additional amounts on interest payments on any of the series of the new securities at a rate in excess of 10% per year, then we may choose to redeem those new securities. If we redeem any new securities, we will pay 100% of their outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts payable up to the date of our redemption.
Ranking of the New Securities and the Guaranties
The new securities:
- •
- will be direct, unsecured and unsubordinated public external indebtedness of the issuer, and
- •
- will rank equally in right of payment with each other and with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated public external indebtedness of the issuer.
The guaranties of the new securities by Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors will constitute direct, unsecured and unsubordinated public external indebtedness of Petróleos Mexicanos and each of the subsidiary guarantors, respectively, and will rankpari passu with each other and with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated public external indebtedness of Petróleos Mexicanos and each of the subsidiary guarantors.
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors are party to certain financial leases which will, with respect to the assets securing those financial leases, rank prior to the new securities and the guaranties.
Negative Pledge
None of the issuer, Petróleos Mexicanos or the subsidiary guarantors or their respective subsidiaries will create security interests in our crude oil and crude oil receivables to secure any public external indebtedness. However, we may enter into up to U.S. $4 billion of receivables financings and similar transactions in any year and up to U.S. $12 billion of receivables financings and similar transactions in the aggregate.
10
We may pledge or grant security interests in any of our other assets or the assets of Petróleos Mexicanos or the subsidiary guarantors to secure our debts. In addition, we may pledge oil or oil receivables to secure debts payable in pesos or debts which are different than the new securities, such as commercial bank loans.

The consolidated financial statements of PEMEX for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 were audited by Mancera, S.C. (A Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global), and the consolidated financial statements of PEMEX for the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. See "Change in Independent Auditors" beginning on page 76. The condensed consolidated financial statements of PEMEX as of June 30, 2002 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 have not been audited.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP and, as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with the guidelines established in Financial Reporting Standard NIF-06 BIS "A," section A. See Notes 2 b) and 15 to the 2001 financial statements for a discussion of the inflation accounting rules applicable to PEMEX. Mexican GAAP differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The most important of the material items generating a difference between operating results under U.S. GAAP and Mexican GAAP are the accounting methodologies for the treatment of exploration and drilling costs, pension premiums and post-retirement benefit obligations, financial instruments, inflation, foreign exchange losses, capitalized interest and depreciation and impairment of fixed assets, which are described in Note 19 to the 2001 financial statements and Note 12 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and are summarized below.
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX charges exploration and drilling costs to the equity reserve for exploration and depletion of oil fields. Exploration and drilling costs related to successful oil wells are credited to the equity reserve and recorded as fixed assets. Cost of sales is recognized by recording a charge for each barrel of crude oil extracted in the statement of operations and recording a credit to the equity reserve. Under U.S. GAAP, PEMEX initially capitalizes the costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells, which are subsequently charged to expense if proved reserves are not discovered. Development costs, including the costs of drilling development wells and development-type stratigraphic test wells, are capitalized.
Seniority premiums and retirement plans generate a difference between U.S. GAAP and Mexican GAAP due to the different actuarial cost assumptions and implementation dates applied under Mexican GAAP Bulletin D-3, "Labor Obligations," and U.S. GAAP Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87, "Employers Accounting for Pensions."
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX accounts for supplemental payments under its Bulletin D-3 calculations. However, PEMEX accounts for other health service benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis under Mexican GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, PEMEX follows the guidelines of SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions," in accounting for health service and other supplemental payments provided to retirees.
On January 1, 2001, PEMEX adopted Bulletin C-2, "Financial Instruments," issued by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants (MIPA), for Mexican GAAP purposes, and SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
12
Certain Hedging Activities"), for U.S. GAAP purposes. The principal differences between the cumulative effect adjustment and current period income effect under Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP relate primarily to the accounting for cross currency swaps, foreign currency embedded derivatives and the accounting for equity swaps contracts related to shares of Repsol YPF, S.A., which we refer to as Repsol, described in Note 10 to the 2001 financial statements.
PEMEX applies NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, to its financial statements to reflect the effects of inflation. NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, provides for the restatement of fixed assets, inventories and costs of sales by indexing and/or appraisals. Since NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, does not represent a comprehensive basis of inflation accounting, beginning with its 1992 fiscal year, PEMEX has reversed the effects of NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, on its consolidated financial statements from the U.S. GAAP reconciliation of income and equity. Under NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, a devaluation of the peso does not have a negative impact on PEMEX's income because exchange losses are capitalized into fixed assets. Furthermore, a devaluation of the peso relative to the dollar results in an increase in PEMEX's income to the extent that expenses remain relatively stable because they are incurred in pesos, while revenues, which are mostly denominated in dollars or linked to international dollar-denominated prices, increase in peso terms. In contrast, under U.S. GAAP, a devaluation of the peso has a negative impact on income because the exchange losses are not capitalized but are charged immediately to income. This one-time charge to income will be gradually offset by lower depreciation as the asset base is reduced. In any particular accounting period, the negative impact of a devaluation is, therefore, greater when the devaluation occurs at or near the end of the accounting period, as occurred with the peso at the end of 1994.
With respect to foreign exchange losses, under Mexican GAAP, exchange losses arising from debt are capitalized as part of fixed assets, and any remaining net exchange differences are reflected in the statement of operations as either a debit to costs and operating expenses or a credit to revenues. Under U.S. GAAP, all exchange gains or losses are recognized in results of operations.
The treatment of capitalized interest for Mexican GAAP purposes differs from the treatment of capitalized interest in the reconciliation of the financial statements to U.S. GAAP. For Mexican GAAP purposes, PEMEX capitalizes interest to property, plant and equipment based on the total interest cost incurred on loans allocated to construction projects, regardless of whether or not the amounts borrowed have been spent on such projects. For purposes of the U.S. GAAP reconciliation, PEMEX capitalizes interest based upon total interest incurred in proportion to additions to construction in progress.
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX depreciates the book value of its fixed assets, which includes amounts capitalized for foreign exchange losses and restatements for inflation. For U.S. GAAP purposes, PEMEX has reversed this depreciation expense attributable to foreign exchange losses and restatements for inflation.
PEMEX is required to evaluate its long-lived assets for impairment for U.S. GAAP purposes whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is permanently impaired. Such impaired assets must be permanently written down to fair value or the present value of expected future cash flows on related assets. This requirement does not exist under Mexican GAAP.
For a further discussion of these and other adjustments, see "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—U.S. GAAP Reconciliation," Note 19 to the 2001 financial statements and Note 12 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

PEMEX does not currently prepare comprehensive price-level adjusted financial statements in accordance with Bulletin B-10, "Recognition of the Effects of Inflation on Financial Information," under Mexican GAAP. For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, Mexico was deemed to be a hyperinflationary economy. Pursuant to Rule 3-20(c) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, we have included unaudited selected financial data prepared on the basis of price-level adjusted financial information for these years reflecting the impact of U.S. GAAP adjustments and reclassifications. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, Mexico was not considered a hyperinflationary economy. However, we have continued to provide supplemental unaudited price-level adjusted financial information for these subsequent years in lieu of a comprehensive price-level adjustment that would result from PEMEX's adoption of Bulletin B-10. In the opinion of PEMEX management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the price-level adjusted financial information have been included herein. This unaudited price-level adjusted financial data is derived from the supplemental price-level adjusted financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus and should also be read in conjunction the 2001 financial statements and condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002.

Risk Factors Related to the Operations of PEMEX
Crude oil prices are volatile, and low oil prices negatively affect PEMEX's income
International crude oil prices fluctuate due to many factors, including:
- •
- changes in global supply and demand for crude oil and refined petroleum products;
- •
- availability and price of competing commodities;
- •
- international economic trends;
- •
- currency exchange fluctuations;
- •
- expectations of inflation;
- •
- actions of commodity markets participants;
- •
- domestic and foreign government regulations; and
- •
- political events in major oil producing and consuming nations.
PEMEX has no control over these factors. Historically, the weighted average price of the crude oil that PEMEX exports has fluctuated from a high of U.S. $26.82 per barrel in 1984 to a low of U.S. $15.55 per barrel in 1999. In 2001, the weighted average price of PEMEX's crude oil exports was U.S. $18.57 per barrel, 24.6% lower than the weighted average price during 2000. On February 10, 2003, the weighted average spot price of PEMEX crude oil was U.S. $28.50.
When international crude oil and natural gas prices are low, PEMEX earns less export sales revenue, and, therefore, lower income because its costs remain roughly constant. Conversely, when crude oil and natural gas prices are high, PEMEX earns more export sales revenue and its income increases. As a result, future fluctuations in international crude oil prices will directly affect its results of operations and financial condition.
Decreases in PEMEX's estimates from time to time of Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves could reduce PEMEX's potential future income
The reserve data set forth in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus represent only estimates. Estimating quantities of proved hydrocarbon reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures is an inexact process and is subject to many factors beyond PEMEX's control. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, estimates of different engineers may vary. Additionally, the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify revision of an estimate. Therefore, proved reserve estimates may be materially different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that PEMEX can ultimately recover.
Pemex-Exploration and Production revises its estimates of Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves annually. This process may result in material revisions to PEMEX's estimates of Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves.
PEMEX is an integrated oil and gas company and is exposed to production, equipment and transportation risks
PEMEX is subject to production, equipment and transportation risks that are common among oil and gas companies. For example, PEMEX encounters:
- •
- production risk—i.e., risk related to fluctuations in production that may be affected by reserve levels, accidents, mechanical difficulties, adverse natural conditions, such as bad
17
- •
- equipment risk—i.e., risk related to adequacy and condition of the production facilities, including equipment becoming obsolete; and
- •
- transportation risk—i.e., risk related to the condition of pipelines and vulnerability of other modes of transportation.
weather and other acts of God, as well as the inability to manage unforeseen production costs;
In particular, PEMEX's business is subject to the risk of:
- •
- pipeline explosions (oil or natural gas);
- •
- explosions in refineries, petrochemical plants, storage and distribution terminals or buoys and monobuoys;
- •
- hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico;
- •
- unexpected geological formations or pressures;
- •
- blow outs, which are sudden, violent explosions of oil, natural gas or water from a drilling well, followed by an uncontrolled flow from the well;
- •
- fires and cratering, which is the caving in and collapse of the earth's structure around a blow out well; and
- •
- mechanical failures and collapsed holes, particularly in horizontal wellbores.
The occurrence of any of these events could result in:
- •
- personal injuries or loss of life;
- •
- environmental damage and the necessary clean-up costs and expenses; or
- •
- other damage to PEMEX's property or the property of others.
In accordance with customary industry practice, PEMEX has purchased insurance policies covering some of these risks. However, these policies do not cover all potential liabilities that may result from these risks. In addition, insurance is not available for some of these risks. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—Business Overview—PEMEX Corporate Matters—Insurance" in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus.
PEMEX's compliance with environmental regulations in Mexico could result in material adverse effects on PEMEX's results of operations
A wide range of general and industry-specific Mexican federal and state environmental laws and regulations apply to PEMEX's operations. Numerous Mexican Government agencies and departments issue rules and regulations which are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial penalties for non-compliance. This regulatory burden on PEMEX increases its cost of doing business and can:
- •
- require PEMEX to make significant capital expenditures on measures to protect the environment, including abandoning and dismantling onshore wells and offshore platforms;
- •
- reduce PEMEX's ability to extract hydrocarbons when extraction endangers the environment;
- •
- reduce PEMEX's sales revenues if production is reduced to meet environmental regulations;
- •
- increase production costs and make PEMEX's products relatively more expensive as compared to the hydrocarbon and refined products of PEMEX's competitors; and
18
- •
- reduce PEMEX's profitability through a combination of the above.
At December 31, 2001, PEMEX's estimated and accrued environmental liabilities totaled Ps. 2,316 million. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—Environmental Regulation—Environmental Liabilities" in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus.
PEMEX publishes less financial information than U.S. companies are required to file with the SEC
PEMEX prepares its financial statements according to Mexican GAAP, except as to the recognition of inflation, which is recognized in its financial statements according to the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards applicable to Mexican public sector companies. Mexican GAAP differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. See "Item 3—Key Information—Selected Financial Data" in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus and Note 19 to the 2001 financial statements. In addition, PEMEX generally only prepares U.S. GAAP information on a yearly basis. As a result, there may be less or different publicly available information about PEMEX than there is about U.S. issuers.
Risk Factors Related to the Relationship between PEMEX and the Mexican Government
The Mexican Government controls PEMEX, and the Mexican Congress approves the annual budget and financing program of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities
Mexico is the sole owner of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities, and the Mexican Government closely regulates and supervises their operations. Mexican Government ministers control key executive decisions at Petróleos Mexicanos. The Secretary of Energy of Mexico is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos. TheSecretaría de la Contraloría y Desarrollo Administrativo (the General Comptroller's Office of the Mexican Government, which we refer to as SECODAM), appoints the external auditors of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities.
The Mexican Government incorporates Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities' annual budget and financing program into its consolidated annual budget, which it submits to the Mexican Congress for its approval. The Mexican Congress also designates certain of Petróleos Mexicanos' largest capital expenditures as PIDIREGAS. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—History and Development—Capital Expenditures and Investments" in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus.
The Mexican Government has the power to intervene directly or indirectly in PEMEX's commercial affairs. Such an intervention could have an adverse effect on Petróleos Mexicanos or any of its subsidiaries and thereby adversely affect the ability of PEMEX or its subsidiaries to make payments under any securities issued or guaranteed by Petróleos Mexicanos or the subsidiary entities. For instance, if the Mexican Government were to cause PEMEX to reduce production or limit future capital expenditures, this could reduce PEMEX's ability to generate the necessary income to support payments on its debt, or to transfer the necessary funds between any of its subsidiaries to make payments on their debts.
The Mexican Government may privatize all or part of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities
The Mexican Government would have the power, if federal law and theConstitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos (the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States) were amended, to privatize all or a portion of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities or its assets. The Mexican Government could also transfer the activities of PEMEX to another Mexican Government-controlled entity if these changes were made. These types of actions could adversely affect Petróleos Mexicanos' operations by affecting its workforce, causing an interruption in production that could decrease output and negatively affect its income from operations. In addition, the privatization could cause Petróleos Mexicanos to default on its obligations under certain of its indebtedness, including all of its publicly traded debt securities, which could entitle the holders of this indebtedness to declare it immediately
19
due and payable. In this case, investors in debt securities would be entitled to recover their entire investment and their only loss would be that attributable to future interest income. See also "—Considerations Related to Mexico" below.
The Mexican Government has entered into agreements with other nations to limit production
Historically, member countries of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, commonly referred to as OPEC, have entered into agreements to reduce their production of crude oil. These agreements have sometimes increased global crude oil prices by decreasing the global supply of crude oil. Although Mexico is not a member of OPEC, it has entered into agreements with OPEC and non-OPEC countries to reduce global crude oil supply.
For example, following OPEC's announcement in January 2001 that it would reduce crude oil production by 1.5 million barrels per day, Mexico announced it would decrease its crude oil exports by 75 thousand barrels per day, beginning on February 1, 2001. Following a March 2001 announcement by OPEC of an additional 1.0 million barrel per day reduction in crude oil production, Mexico announced on March 25, 2001 that it would further reduce its crude oil exports by 40 thousand barrels per day, beginning on April 1, 2001. On January 2, 2002, following an OPEC announcement that it would reduce crude oil production by 1.5 million barrels per day, Mexico announced it would reduce its crude oil exports by 100,000 barrels per day to 1.66 million barrels per day for six months, beginning on January 1, 2002. On January 13, 2003, the Ministry of Energy of Mexico announced that, beginning on February 1, 2003, Mexico would increase its oil exports by 120,000 barrels per day, to 1.88 million barrels per day. Mexico agreed to increase its oil exports in conjunction with production increases by other oil producing countries in order to stabilize oil prices, which had increased significantly in recent weeks.
PEMEX does not control the Mexican Government's international affairs and the Mexican Government could agree with OPEC or other countries to reduce PEMEX's crude oil production or exports in the future. To the extent that such international agreements restrict PEMEX's exports of crude oil, it is possible that Mexican domestic markets will not be able to consume additional amounts of crude oil that PEMEX is not allowed to export as a result of such agreements, thus reducing its revenues.
PEMEX does not own the hydrocarbon reserves in Mexico
A guaranteed source of petroleum and other hydrocarbons is essential to an oil company's production and generation of income. As a result, many oil and gas companies own hydrocarbon reserves. The Political Constitution of the United Mexican States provides that the Mexican nation, not PEMEX, owns the petroleum and other hydrocarbon reserves located in Mexico. Although Mexican law gives Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities the exclusive right to exploit Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves, it does not preclude the Mexican Government from changing current law and assigning these rights to another company. If the Mexican Government, by way of an amendment to theLey Reglamentaria del Artículo 27 Constitucional en el Ramo del Petróleo(Regulatory Law to Article 27 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States Concerning Petroleum Affairs, which we refer to as the "Regulatory Law"), assigned the rights to exploit its hydrocarbon reserves to another company, PEMEX's ability to generate income would be adversely affected.
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities pay special taxes, duties and dividends to the Mexican Government
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities pay a number of special taxes and duties to the Mexican Government. These taxes and duties totaled Ps. 208,137 million in 1999, Ps. 292,960 million in 2000 and Ps. 262,778 million in 2001. For 2002 and 2003, PEMEX expects the sum of these taxes and
20
duties to total approximately 60.8% of the revenue that PEMEX derives from sales through its subsidiary, P.M.I. Comercio Internacional, S.A. de C.V. ("PMI"), P.M.I. Trading Ltd. and their affiliates (together, the "PMI Group") and to third parties. In addition to these duties and taxes, the Mexican Government imposes an excess gains tax equal to 39.2% of the portion of Pemex-Exploration and Production's crude oil sales revenue in excess of a threshold price set by the Mexican Government, which in 2002 was U.S. $15.50 per barrel and in 2003 is U.S. $18.35 per barrel. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—Taxes and Duties" and "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—General—IEPS Tax, Excess Gains Duty, Hydrocarbon Duties and Other Taxes" in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus.
The Mexican Government and PEMEX determine the rates of taxes and duties applicable to PEMEX from year to year depending on a variety of factors, including PEMEX's:
- •
- projected sales revenues;
- •
- operating program;
- •
- capital expenditures program; and
- •
- financing needs.
Petróleos Mexicanos is also obligated to pay minimum guaranteed dividends to the Mexican Government. The minimum guaranteed dividends totaled Ps. 5,138 million in 1999, Ps. 5,564 million in 2000 and Ps. 2,153 million in 2001. For further information on how the minimum guaranteed dividend is determined, see "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Equity Structure and the Certificates of Contribution "A,"' and "Item 8—Financial Information—Dividends" in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus and Note 13 to the 2001 financial statements.
PEMEX must make significant capital expenditures to maintain its current production levels and increase Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves. Mexican Government budget cuts, reductions in PEMEX's income and inability to obtain financing may limit PEMEX's ability to make capital investments
PEMEX invests funds to increase the amount of extractable hydrocarbon reserves in Mexico. PEMEX also continually invests capital to enhance its hydrocarbon recovery ratio and improve the reliability and productivity of its infrastructure. PEMEX estimates that it will need to make capital expenditures of approximately U.S. $45.3 billion in exploration and production over the next five years and an additional U.S. $16.1 billion to upgrade its refineries over the next ten years, in order to increase production to meet anticipated growth in domestic and international market demand.
PEMEX's ability to make these capital expenditures is limited by the substantial taxes that it pays and cyclical decreases in its revenues primarily related to lower oil prices. In addition, budget cuts imposed by the Mexican Government and the availability of financing may also limit its ability to make capital investments. Because the non-PIDIREGAS portion of its investment budget is part of the Mexican Government's annual budget, when the Mexican Government reduces its annual budget, it may also reduce that portion of PEMEX's investment budget. For example, in 1998, low crude oil prices reduced PEMEX's income and the amount of taxes and duties that it paid to the Mexican Government. As a result, the Mexican Government imposed federal budget cuts that resulted in an 11.1% decrease in PEMEX's capital expenditures budget (excluding PIDIREGAS) in 1998.
The Mexican Government has recently approved a PIDIREGAS investment budget that PEMEX believes will be sufficient to meet a large proportion of its capital expenditure needs for the next five years. However, under the PIDIREGAS program, PEMEX is required to obtain financing that can be supported by the project being funded. The availability of this financing is subject to factors beyond
21
PEMEX's control. Accordingly, PEMEX cannot guarantee that it will always have the funds necessary to continue capital investments at their current levels.
PEMEX's debt obligations may be affected by the Mexican Government's agreements with external creditors
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are decentralized public sector entities under the direct control of the Mexican Government; consequently, the Mexican Government's agreements with international creditors may affect PEMEX's external debt obligations. Since 1982, Mexico and its commercial bank creditors have concluded four debt restructurings and new money exercises. In these restructurings, Petróleos Mexicanos' external indebtedness was treated on the same terms as the debt of the Mexican Government and other public sector entities. In addition, Mexico has entered into agreements with official bilateral creditors to reschedule public sector external debt. Mexico has not requested restructuring of bonds or debt owed to multilateral agencies.
PEMEX may claim some immunities under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and Mexican law
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are decentralized public entities of the Mexican Government. Because the Mexican Government is a foreign sovereign, you may not be able to obtain a judgment in a U.S. court against Petróleos Mexicanos or any of the subsidiary guarantors. In addition, Mexican law specifies that attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution may not be ordered by Mexican courts against Petróleos Mexicanos, the subsidiary guarantors or their respective assets and, as a result, your ability to enforce judgments against them in the courts of Mexico may be limited.
Unless Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors waive their immunity, you could obtain a U.S. court judgment against them only if a U.S. court were to determine that they are not entitled to sovereign immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 with respect to that action. PEMEX also does not know whether Mexican courts would enforce judgments of United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
Even if you were able to obtain a U.S. judgment against Petróleos Mexicanos or one or more of the subsidiary guarantors under their respective guaranties and subsidiary guaranties under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, you might not be able to obtain a judgment in Mexico that is based on that U.S. judgment. Moreover, you may not be able to enforce a judgment against Petróleos Mexicanos' or any of the subsidiary guarantors' property in the United States except under the limited circumstances specified in the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
Satisfaction of any judgment in Mexico against PEMEX may be made in pesos
If you were to bring an action in Mexico seeking to enforce the obligations of Petróleos Mexicanos or any of the subsidiary guarantors under the securities, satisfaction of those obligations may be made in pesos. TheLey Monetaria de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos (Monetary Law of the United Mexican States) entitles Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors to discharge foreign currency denominated obligations in Mexico with a payment in pesos at the exchange rate determined by Banco de México (Mexico's Central Bank) on the date payment is made. This rate is currently announced by Banco de México each banking day and published the following day in theDiario Oficial de la Federación (the Official Gazette of the Federation).
22
Considerations Related to Mexico
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are foreign companies, and as a result holders of PEMEX securities may not be able to effect service of process on, or enforce a judgment against, PEMEX
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are organized under the laws of Mexico and all of their directors and officers, as well as some of the experts named in this prospectus, reside outside the United States. Substantially all of the assets of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors, and those of most of their directors, officers and experts are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to effect service of process on the directors or officers of Petróleos Mexicanos or any of the subsidiary guarantors or those experts within the United States. You also may not be able to enforce in Mexico judgments obtained in the United States against Petróleos Mexicanos or any of the subsidiary guarantors, or their directors or officers or the experts, if those judgments are not consistent with Mexican public policy and procedural rules.
Economic conditions and government policies in Mexico may have a material impact on PEMEX's operations
A deterioration in Mexico's economic conditions, social instability, political unrest or other adverse social developments in Mexico could adversely affect PEMEX's business and financial condition. Those events could also lead to increased volatility in the foreign exchange and financial markets, thereby affecting PEMEX's ability to obtain and service foreign debt. In addition, the Mexican Government may cut spending in the future. These cuts could adversely affect PEMEX's business, financial condition and prospects.
From 1982 to 1987 Mexico experienced several periods of slow or negative economic growth, high inflation, peso devaluations and limited availability of foreign exchange. Beginning in December 1994 and continuing through 1995, Mexico experienced an economic crisis characterized by exchange rate instability, devaluation of the peso, high inflation, high domestic interest rates, negative economic growth, reduced consumer purchasing power and high unemployment. Despite signs of economic recovery following the implementation of broad economic reforms in 1995, a combination of factors led to a slowdown in Mexico's economic growth in 1998. Notably, the decline in the price of crude oil resulted in a reduction of federal revenues, approximately one-third of which derive from petroleum taxes and duties. In addition, the economic crises in Asia and Russia and the financial turmoil in Brazil, Venezuela and elsewhere produced greater volatility in the international financial markets, which further slowed Mexico's recovery. The Mexican Government estimates that real Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") grew 4.9% in 1998, 3.7% in 1999 and 6.6% in 2000 but decreased 0.3% in 2001. The Mexican Government estimates that GDP grew 1.7% in 2002.
Despite the slowdown in economic recovery and the significant devaluation of the peso in 1998 and the contraction in 2001, Mexico has managed to maintain a high level of gross international reserves, which totaled U.S. $48,537 million at January 24, 2003. In the future, however, the Mexican economy could continue to suffer from declines in foreign direct and portfolio investment due to international financial crises, inflationary pressures, high short-term interest rates and low oil prices.
Changes in exchange rates or in Mexico's exchange control laws may hamper the ability of PEMEX to service its foreign currency debt
While the Mexican Government does not currently restrict the ability of Mexican companies or individuals to convert pesos into dollars or other currencies, in the future, the Mexican Government could impose a restrictive exchange control policy, as it has done in the past. Neither PEMEX nor the issuer can assure you that the Mexican Government will maintain its current policies with regard to the peso or that the peso's value will not fluctuate significantly in the future. The peso has been subject to significant devaluations against the U.S. dollar in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. Mexican Government policies affecting the value of the peso could prevent PEMEX from
23
paying its foreign currency obligations, which in turn could prevent the issuer from paying its obligations.
As of December 31, 2001, the total debt of PEMEX totaled Ps. 159.4 billion (or Ps. 156.8 billion excluding accrued interest), 84.2% of which was denominated in U.S. dollars. Of this amount, U.S. $7.5 billion (or Ps. 68.7 billion) was attributable to the indebtedness of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros and other currencies and guaranteed by Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals. In addition, Pemex Finance, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company with limited liability established to issue securities backed by PMI crude oil receivables to provide financing for investments in PIDIREGAS, had indebtedness totaling U.S. $5.3 billion at December 31, 2001. PEMEX does not guarantee Pemex Finance, Ltd.'s indebtedness. In the future, PEMEX, the issuer and Pemex Finance, Ltd. may incur additional indebtedness denominated in U.S. dollars or other currencies. Declines in the value of the peso relative to the U.S. dollar or other currencies may increase PEMEX's interest costs in pesos and result in foreign exchange losses.
From October 1992 to December 21, 1994, Banco de México intervened in foreign exchange markets to maintain the peso-dollar exchange rate within a government-controlled range that widened daily. On December 21, 1994, the Mexican Government suspended Banco de México's foreign exchange market operations and allowed the peso to float freely against the U.S. dollar. The Mexican Government may introduce similar policies in the future that affect the exchange rate between the peso and other currencies.
For a further discussion of historical peso/U.S. dollar exchange rates, see "Item 3—Key Information—Exchange Rates" in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus.
Political conditions in Mexico could materially and adversely affect Mexican economic policy and, in turn, PEMEX's operations
The national elections held on July 2, 2000 ended 71 years of rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party ("PRI") with the election of President Vicente Fox Quesada, a member of the National Action Party ("PAN"), and resulted in the increased representation of opposition parties in the Mexican Congress and in mayoral and gubernatorial positions. Neither the PRI nor the PAN currently has a majority in the Congress or Senate. This shift in political power has transformed Mexico from a one-party state to a pluralist democracy. Although there have not yet been any material adverse repercussions resulting from this political change, multiparty rule is still relatively new in Mexico and could result in economic or political conditions that could materially and adversely affect PEMEX's operations. The lack of a majority party in the legislature and the lack of alignment between the legislature and the President could result in deadlock and prevent the timely implementation of economic reforms, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Mexican economy and on PEMEX's business.
Risks Related to Non-Participation in the Exchange
If holders of old securities do not participate in the exchange offer, the old securities will continue to be subject to transfer restrictions
Holders of old securities that do not exchange their old securities for new securities will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer that are listed on the legend of those old securities. These restrictions will make the old securities less liquid. To the extent that old securities are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market, if any, for the old securities would also be reduced.
24
Risks Related to the New Securities
There is no prior market for the new securities; if one develops, it may not be liquid
There is currently no market for the new securities but application has been made to list the new securities on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The issuer cannot promise that such a market will develop, or, if it does develop, that it will continue to exist. If a market for the new securities were to develop, prevailing interest rates and general market conditions could affect the price of the new securities. This could cause the new securities to trade at prices that may be lower than their principal amount or their initial offering price.
We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the new securities under the exchange offers. In consideration for issuing the new securities as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange an equal principal amount of old securities, which will be cancelled. Accordingly, the exchange offers will not result in any increase in our indebtedness or our guarantors' indebtedness. The net proceeds we received from issuing the old securities were and are being used to finance our investment program.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
PEMEX's ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated as follows:
Fixed charges for this purpose consist of the sum of interest expense plus interest capitalized during the period. Fixed charges do not take into account exchange gain or loss attributable to PEMEX's indebtedness. Mexican GAAP differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The material differences as they relate to PEMEX's 2001 consolidated financial statements and the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are described in Note 19 to the 2001 financial statements and Note 12 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The following table sets forth PEMEX's consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the five-year period ended December 31, 2001, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, in accordance with Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Results of Operations of PEMEX—First Six Months of 2002 Compared to First Six Months of 2001
Income/(Loss)
During the first six months of 2002, PEMEX reported a loss of Ps. 6.4 billion on Ps. 166.3 billion in total revenues net of the IEPS Tax, as compared with a loss of Ps. 6.0 billion on Ps. 196.4 billion in total revenues net of the IEPS Tax in the first six months of 2001. This 6.7% increase in losses from the first six months of 2001 to the first six months of 2002 resulted primarily from:
- •
- a decrease in the export volumes and a 1.2% reduction in the weighted average price of crude oil sold by PMI for export, from U.S. $19.63 in the first six months of 2001 to U.S. $19.40 in the first six months of 2002;
- •
- an increase in the labor reserve for pension obligations, due to higher wages and benefits paid to employees;
- •
- an increase in depreciation and amortization charges; and
- •
- an increase in net interest expense, from Ps. 5.5 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 7.5 billion in the first six months of 2002.
PEMEX's total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, were Ps. 162.5 billion in the first six months of 2002, a decrease of 13.2% from total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, of Ps. 187.2 billion in the first six months of 2001. The decrease in total sales from the first six months of 2001 to the first six months of 2002 resulted primarily from a decrease in the prices of the principal petroleum products that PEMEX sold in the domestic market.
Export Sales
In the first six months of 2002, total consolidated export sales increased by 8.5% in peso terms (with dollar-denominated export revenues converted to pesos at the exchange rate for the date on which the export sale was made), from Ps. 71.0 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 77.0 billion in the first six months of 2002. Excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group, export sales by the subsidiary entities to the PMI Group and third parties decreased by 6.0% in peso terms, from Ps. 64.6 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 60.7 billion in the first six months of 2002, and increased as a percentage of total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, from 35.7% in the first six months of 2001 to 41.5% in the first six months of 2002. In dollar terms, excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group, export sales (which are dollar-denominated) decreased by 4.4% in the first six months of 2002, from U.S. $6.8 billion in the first six months of 2001 to U.S. $6.5 billion in the first six months of 2002. The trading and export activities of the PMI Group generated additional marginal revenues of Ps. 16.3 billion in the first six months of 2002, 154.9% higher in real peso terms than in the first six months of 2001, mainly due to an increase in trading activity of petroleum products.
Crude oil sales by Pemex-Exploration and Production to PMI for export accounted for 90.7% of export sales (excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group) in the first six months of 2002, as compared to 91.3% in the first six months of 2001. These crude oil sales decreased in peso terms by 6.6% in the first six months of 2002, from Ps. 59.0 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 55.1 billion in the first six months of 2002, and decreased in dollar terms by 4.8% in the first six months of 2002, from U.S. $6.2 billion in the first six months of 2001 to U.S. $5.9 billion in the first six months of 2002. This decrease was due to a diminution in the volumes of crude oil sold, from 1,736 thousand barrels per day in the first six months of 2001 to 1,638 thousand barrels per day in the first six months of 2002, and a decrease of 1.2% in the weighted average price of crude oil. The weighted average price per barrel of crude oil that Pemex-Exploration and Production sold to PMI for
28
export in the first six months of 2002 was U.S. $19.40, 1.2% lower than the weighted average price of U.S. $19.63 in the first six months of 2001.
Export sales of petroleum products by Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals to the PMI Group and third parties, including natural gas liquids, increased from 7.8% of export sales (excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group) in the first six months of 2001 to 8.1% in the first six months of 2002. Export sales of petroleum products, including natural gas liquids, decreased by 2.0%, from Ps. 5.0 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 4.9 billion in the first six months of 2002, due to lower export volumes of gasoline, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and naphtha. In dollar terms, export sales of petroleum products, including natural gas liquids, decreased by 1.1%, from U.S. $532.8 million in the first six months of 2001 to U.S. $527.1 million in the first six months of 2002.
Petrochemical products accounted for the remainder of export sales in the first six months of 2001 and the first six months of 2002. Export sales of petrochemical products (including certain by-products of the petrochemical process) increased by 13.9%, from Ps. 603.6 million in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 687.3 million in the first six months of 2002, due to increases in exports of ammonia (a methane derivative) and polyethylenes (an ethane derivative). In dollar terms, export sales of petrochemical products (including certain by-products of the petrochemical process) increased by 5.9% in the first six months of 2002, from U.S. $69.9 million in the first six months of 2001 to U.S. $74.0 million in the first six months of 2002.
Domestic Sales
Domestic sales, net of the IEPS Tax, decreased by 26.4% in the first six months of 2002, from Ps. 116.1 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 85.4 billion in the first six months of 2002. Domestic sales of petroleum products other than natural gas decreased by 26.6%, from Ps. 94.1 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 69.1 billion in the first six months of 2002, primarily due to a fall in the domestic prices of PEMEX's principal petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and a decrease in domestic demand for fuel oil. Domestic petrochemical sales (including sales of certain by-products of the petrochemical production process) decreased by 29.4%, from Ps. 5.1 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 3.6 billion in the first six months of 2002, due to a decrease in prices and domestic market demand for the principal petrochemical products. Sales of natural gas decreased by 24.7%, from Ps. 17.0 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 12.8 billion in the first six months of 2002, as a result of a decrease in sales prices.
Other Revenues
Other revenues and exchange gains (losses) decreased by 58.7%, from Ps. 9.2 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 3.8 billion in the first six months of 2002, primarily due to a decrease in exchange gains. PEMEX recorded exchange loss of Ps. 1.4 billion in the first six months of 2002, as compared to exchange gains of Ps. 4.7 billion in the first six months of 2001, primarily due to the effects of fluctuations in the peso/dollar exchange rate on PEMEX's dollar-denominated indebtedness.
Costs and Operating Expenses; Other Income and Expenses
Costs and operating expenses, which include costs of sales, transportation and distribution expenses and administrative expenses, decreased by 1.5%, from Ps. 94.4 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 93.0 billion in the first six months of 2002. This decrease was due to a reduction in import purchases and in the gains resulting from the fluctuation of product inventory, which was partially offset by an increase in the labor reserve for pension obligations, depreciation and amortization and other costs and expenses. Costs related to the labor reserve for pension obligations increased by 10.1%, from Ps. 16.9 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 18.6 billion in the first six months of 2002.
29
Other expenses decreased by 27.3%, from Ps. 2.2 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 1.6 billion in the first six months of 2002, primarily due to a decrease in natural gas hedging operations.
Duties and Taxes
Hydrocarbon extraction duties and other duties and taxes (including the IEPS Tax) decreased by 5.8%, from Ps. 138.8 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 130.8 billion in the first six months of 2002, largely because of the decrease in international crude oil prices in the first six months of 2002 and the resulting decrease in sales revenue. PEMEX paid Ps. 4.3 billion in excess gains duties in the first six months of 2002, representing 39.2% of the amount of sales revenue that PEMEX derived from the difference between actual crude oil prices at which Pemex-Exploration and Production sold to PMI, which averaged U.S. $19.40 per barrel for the Mexican weighted crude oil mix, and the Mexican Government's crude oil price budgetary assumption of U.S. $15.50 per barrel. PEMEX paid Ps. 1.9 billion in excess gains duties in the first six months of 2001.
Interest, net
Net interest expense increased by 36.4%, from Ps. 5.5 billion in the first six months of 2001 to Ps. 7.5 billion in the first six months of 2002. This increase was mainly due to the recognition of the current period loss resulting from the application of Bulletin C-2, the new financial instrument standard, and an increase in the financial expenses of non-capitalized interest incurred as a result of PIDIREGAS completed in 2002.
Cumulative Effect of Adoption of New Financial Instruments Standard
In 2001, PEMEX adopted Bulletin C-2, which resulted in a loss of Ps. 1.3 billion, primarily attributable to the accounting for the Repsol equity swap, as described in Notes 2 o) and 10(vi) to the 2001 financial statements.
U.S. GAAP Reconciliation
Operating results under U.S. GAAP differ from operating results under Mexican GAAP due to several factors. The most important of these factors are differences in methods of accounting for exploration and drilling costs, pension and post-retirement obligations, financial instruments and fixed asset adjustments relating to inflation accounting, foreign exchange losses, capitalized interest, depreciation and impairment. For further information regarding these and other differences between Mexican and U.S. GAAP as they relate to PEMEX's operating results, see "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—U.S. GAAP Reconciliation" in the Form 20-F included in this prospectus, Note 19 to the 2001 financial statements and Note 12 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Income and Equity under U.S. GAAP
For the first six months of 2002, PEMEX's loss under U.S. GAAP was approximately Ps. 4.8 billion, representing a Ps. 1.6 billion decrease from the loss recorded under Mexican GAAP. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, PEMEX's loss under U.S. GAAP was approximately Ps. 1.5 billion, representing a Ps. 4.5 billion decrease from the loss recorded under Mexican GAAP. For further information regarding the adjustments related to these amounts, see Note 19 to the 2001 financial statements and Note 12 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
PEMEX's equity (deficit) under U.S. GAAP was approximately Ps. (51.9) billion at June 30, 2002 as compared to Ps. (42.3) billion at December 31, 2001. For further information regarding the adjustments related to these amounts, see Note 19 to the 2001 financial statements and Note 12 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Income (Loss)
During the first nine months of 2002, the net loss of Petróleos Mexicanos, the Subsidiary Entities and the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust amounted to Ps. 11.1 billion as compared with net loss during the first nine months of 2001 of Ps. 17.3 billion. This decrease in loss was due primarily to a reduction in costs and expenses, which was partially offset by decreased domestic demand and lower domestic prices for petroleum and petrochemical products and a decrease in crude oil export volumes, as well as to the recognition in 2001 of the cumulative effect of the adoption by Petróleos Mexicanos of Mexican Accounting Bulletin C-2, Financial Instruments. During this period, operating income before taxes and duties increased 5.5% from Ps. 188.0 billion on total sales revenues (net of the IEPS Tax) of Ps. 259.7 billion during the first nine months of 2001, to Ps. 198.2 billion on total sales revenues (net of the IEPS Tax) of Ps. 239.1 billion during the first nine months of 2002. For the first nine months of 2002, total sales revenues (net of the IEPS Tax) decreased by 7.9% as compared to the first nine months of 2001, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average price of principal trading products (including natural gas, gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, diesel and jet fuel) in the domestic market.
Export Sales
Export sales by the Subsidiary Entities to the PMI Group and third parties increased by 4.2% in peso terms (with dollar-denominated export revenues converted to pesos at the exchange rate on the date on which the export sale was made), from Ps. 96.0 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 100.0 billion in the first nine months of 2002. For information on peso/dollar exchange rates, see "United Mexican States—Exchange Controls and Foreign Exchange Rates" below. The increase in export sales was attributable mainly to an increase in the average price of crude oil exports. Export sales increased as a percentage of total net sales (net of the IEPS Tax) from 37.0% in the first nine months of 2001 to 41.8% in the first nine months of 2002. Crude oil exports accounted for 90.8% of export sales, refined products accounted for 8.4% of export sales and natural gas and petrochemical products accounted for the remainder of export sales in the first nine months of 2002.
34
Domestic Sales
Domestic sales (net of the IEPS Tax) decreased by 15.0%, from Ps. 163.7 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 139.1 billion in the first nine months of 2002. Domestic sales of refined products (other than natural gas) decreased by 15.6% from Ps. 133.5 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 112.6 billion in the first nine months of 2002 primarily due to decreases in sales prices of refined products (including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel) and a decrease in the demand for fuel oil. Domestic petrochemical sales (including sales of certain by-products of the petrochemical production process) decreased by 20.3% from Ps. 7.1 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 5.6 billion in the first nine months of 2002, primarily as a result of a decrease in the price of and the demand for petrochemical products. Sales of natural gas decreased by 10.1%, from Ps. 23.1 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 20.8 billion in the first nine months of 2002, due to a decrease in sales prices.
Costs and Operating Expenses; Other Income and Expenses
Costs and operating expenses decreased by 8.5%, from Ps. 133.4 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 122.1 billion in the first nine months of 2002. Costs and operating expenses as a percentage of total sales (net of the IEPS Tax) decreased from 51.4% in the first nine months of 2001 to 51.1% in the first nine months of 2002. This decrease was due to a decrease in import purchases and a decrease in the value of product inventory, which was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization, costs related to labor reserves for pension obligations and increases in salaries and wages. Other revenues decreased from Ps. 7.6 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 7.3 billion in the first nine months of 2002, primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange rates. Interest, net, increased from Ps. 7.5 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 10.4 billion in the first nine months of 2002, primarily due to an increase in 2002 in the financial expense of non-capitalized interest incurred in relation to PIDIREGAS that were completed in 2001. Other expenses decreased by 3.6% from Ps. 4.0 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to Ps. 3.8 billion in the same period of 2002.
Cumulative Effect of Adoption of New Financial Instruments Standard
In 2001, PEMEX adopted Bulletin C-2, which resulted in a loss of Ps. 1.3 billion, primarily attributable to the accounting for the Repsol equity swap, as described in Note 2 o) to the 2001 financial statements.

Change in Accounting Policy
In January 2003, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit informed PEMEX that, beginning with fiscal year 2003, PEMEX will recognize the effects of inflation in accordance with NIF 06 BIS "A" section C, which establishes the obligation for PEMEX to adopt Bulletin B-10, "Recognition of the Effects of Inflation on Financial Information." Among other things, Bulletin B-10 requires restatement of all comparative financial statements to constant Mexican pesos of the date of the most recent balance sheet presented. PEMEX is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of Bulletin B-10 will have on its consolidated financial statements. This adoption will not impact PEMEX's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.
Directors, Senior Management and Employees
On February 3, 2003, Juan Bueno Torio replaced Armando Leal Santa Ana as the Director General of Pemex-Refining.
Legal Proceedings
U.S. Anti-dumping Dispute
On December 17, 2002, the U.S. Court of International Trade upheld the U.S. Department of Commerce's decision not to initiate antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on crude oil from Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Iraq and dismissed the complaint filed by Save Domestic Oil, Inc., a group of independent oil producers in the United States. Save Domestic Oil, Inc. has appealed this decision.
Export Agreements
Although Mexico is not a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"), since 1998 it has entered into agreements with OPEC and non-OPEC members to reduce its oil exports in order to stabilize international oil prices.
On January 13, 2003, the Ministry of Energy of Mexico announced that, beginning on February 1, 2003, Mexico would increase its oil exports by 120,000 barrels per day, to 1.88 million barrels per day. Mexico agreed to increase its oil exports in conjunction with production increases by other oil producing countries in order to stabilize oil prices, which had increased significantly in recent weeks.

Public Finance
2002 Budget
On December 12, 2002, Congress approved the dissolution and liquidation of Banco Nacional de Crédito Rural, S.N.C., a governmental development bank, which will create an estimated extraordinary expenditure of Ps. 48.9 billion. This expenditure will be offset by an estimated Ps. 11 billion to be gained from an amendment to the Retirement Systems Savings Law approved by Congress on December 15, 2002, which will allow the Government to use a portion of the workers' unclaimed retirement funds for this purpose. The Government will be contingently liable to return these funds, with interest, if and when claimed by the workers entitled to them.
2003 Budget and Fiscal Package
On December 14, 2002, Congress approved the Federal Annual Revenue Law for 2003 and on December 15, 2002, Congress approved the Federal Expenditure Decree for 2003 (as approved, together with the Federal Annual Revenue Law for 2003 as approved, the "2003 Budget"). The 2003 Budget maintains fiscal discipline as the cornerstone of the economic program, and contemplates a public sector deficit of 0.50% of GDP for 2003.
The 2003 Budget is based upon an estimated weighted average price of Mexico's oil exports of U.S. $18.35 per barrel and an estimated volume of oil exports of 1.86 million barrels per day. The budget as originally proposed to Congress was based upon an estimated weighted average price of Mexico's oil exports of U.S. $17.00 per barrel. Congress' upward revision resulted in Ps. 24.7 billion of additional revenues with respect to the original proposal.
The 2003 Budget includes the following tax measures, among others:
- •
- continuation of a gradual decline in income tax rates, introduced at the end of 2001, as well as new tax deductions for individuals and immediate deduction of investment expenditures outside of the metropolitan areas of Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey; and
- •
- elimination of the luxury goods tax.
The results for 2001 and the first nine months of 2002, the revised budget assumptions and targets for 2002 and the budget assumptions and targets for 2003 are set forth below.

PEMEX PROJECT FUNDING MASTER TRUST
The Pemex Project Funding Master Trust was organized as a statutory trust under Delaware law on November 10, 1998. The Bank of New York acts as managing trustee and The Bank of New York (Delaware) acts as Delaware trustee of the issuer. The Pemex Project Funding Master Trust's purpose is to administer certain financial resources earmarked for PIDIREGAS, which are described below.
Petróleos Mexicanos is the sole beneficiary of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust and controls the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust in all of its activities.
PIDIREGAS Projects
Under Mexico's General Law of Public Debt, a PIDIREGAS must be a long-term productive infrastructure project which is:
- •
- related to an economic activity identified as a priority by the Mexican Government,
- •
- expected to generate funds sufficient to repay the financing incurred for the project, and
- •
- previously approved by the Mexican Government.
Petróleos Mexicanos or a subsidiary guarantor negotiates and enters into turn-key and other contracts for the construction of PIDIREGAS. PEMEX subsequently delegates to the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust the payment obligations under the related project contracts and transfers any funds obtained through related financing transactions. Accordingly, upon receipt by PEMEX of invoices under the project contracts, Petróleos Mexicanos instructs the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust to make payment to the appropriate contractors.
Financings for PIDIREGAS are either entered into by Petróleos Mexicanos and assigned to the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust or arranged by Petróleos Mexicanos and entered into directly by the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, as is the case with the old securities and the new securities. In either case, funds obtained through these financings are transferred to The Bank of New York as managing trustee, whose decisions are, in turn, dictated by Petróleos Mexicanos. All payments under financings entered into by or assigned to the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust are unconditionally guaranteed by Petróleos Mexicanos. The subsidiary guarantors jointly and severally guarantee Petróleos Mexicanos' payment obligations under its guaranties of these financings.
The Pemex Project Funding Master Trust has been consolidated with PEMEX and its subsidiary companies in the audited financial statements included in the Form 20-F and in the interim financial information set forth under "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" and "Recent Developments" in this prospectus.
Assignment and Indemnity Agreement
Under an Assignment and Indemnity Agreement dated November 10, 1998, among Petróleos Mexicanos, The Bank of New York and the subsidiary guarantors, Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors have assumed certain obligations of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust with respect to the liabilities incurred or assumed by the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust in connection with PIDIREGAS. These obligations include:
- •
- the obligation of Petróleos Mexicanos to guarantee the repayment of the debt obligations undertaken by the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust to finance PIDIREGAS;
- •
- the obligation of Petróleos Mexicanos and the particular subsidiary guarantor that is sponsoring a PIDIREGAS to make payments to the issuer as may be necessary for the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust to fulfill its payment obligations in respect of any financing that the issuer has entered into in connection with the PIDIREGAS; and
41
- •
- the joint and several obligations of Petróleos Mexicanos and each of the subsidiary guarantors to indemnify the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust with respect to any liability incurred by the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust in connection with PIDIREGAS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Petróleos Mexicanos makes decisions to draw-down funds under PIDIREGAS-related financings on the basis of the short-term obligations of the issuer under PIDIREGAS construction contracts. The issuer invests any excess liquidity in short-term investments, including interest-bearing deposits at Banco de México and Mexican commercial banks.
At December 31, 2001, cash and cash equivalents of the issuer totaled U.S. $578 million, its total assets were U.S. $13,370 million; its long-term indebtedness totaled U.S. $11,334 million, its short-term indebtedness (including interest payable of U.S. $160 million) totaled U.S. $952 million and its other short-term liabilities totaled U.S. $1,083 million.
At September 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents of the issuer totaled U.S. $511 million, its total assets were U.S. $17,180 million, its long-term indebtedness totaled U.S. $14,061 million, its short-term indebtedness (including interest payable of U.S. $192 million) totaled U.S. $1,414 million and its other short-term liabilities totaled U.S. $1,705 million.
The assets of the issuer consist primarily of the funds it receives through various PIDIREGAS financings incurred directly or indirectly by the issuer, earnings from the short-term investment of its excess liquidity and its rights to receive payment from the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
On December 31, 1998, the Guarantor transferred assets and liabilities related to PIDIREGAS totaling Ps. 12,104 million (U.S. $1,227 million) to the issuer.
Future amortization of the issuer's indebtedness is scheduled as follows:

This is a summary of the exchange offers and the material provisions of the registration rights agreements that we entered into on November 26, 2001 with the initial purchasers of the 8.00% old notes, on February 1, 2002 with the initial purchasers of the 7.875% old notes and the 8.625% old bonds, and on December 12, 2002 with the initial purchasers of the 7.375% old notes. This section may not contain all the information that you should consider regarding the exchange offers and the registration rights agreements before participating in the exchange offers. For more detail you should refer to the letter of transmittal and the registration rights agreements, which we have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement. You can obtain copies of these documents by following the instructions under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information."
Background and Purpose of the Exchange Offers
We sold the old securities to their initial purchasers pursuant to terms agreements dated November 14, 2001 for the November 2001 issuance of the 8.00% old notes, January 25, 2002 for the February 2002 issuance of the 7.875% old notes and the 8.625% old bonds and December 3, 2002 for the December 2002 issuance of the 7.375% old notes. In each case, the initial purchasers then resold the old securities to other purchasers in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act and to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
We also entered into registration rights agreements with the initial purchasers of the 8.00% old notes, the 7.875% old notes, the 8.625% old bonds and the 7.375% old notes. As long as we determine that applicable law permits us to make the exchange offers, the registration rights agreements require that we use our best efforts to:
| Action | Date Required for the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds | Date Required for 7.375% old notes | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1. | File a registration statement for a registered exchange offer relating to an issue of new securities with terms substantially similar to the old securities | September 2, 2002 | September 2, 2003 | |||
2. | Cause the registration to be declared effective by the SEC and promptly begin the exchange offer after the registration statement is declared effective | September 2, 2002 | September 2, 2003 | |||
3. | Issue the new securities in exchange for all old securities tendered in the exchange offer | October 2, 2002 | October 2, 2003 |
We were not able to complete the exchange offers for the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds by October 2, 2002 and, as a result, the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds began to earn additional interest at the rate of 0.25% per year on September 3, 2002, and are now earning additional interest at the rate of 0.50% per year. This additional interest will stop when we complete the exchange offers. The exchange offers described in this prospectus will cure our defaults under the registration rights agreement.
For the 7.375% old notes, the exchange offer described in this prospectus, if commenced and completed within the time limits described above, will satisfy the requirements under the registration rights agreements.
43
General Terms of the Exchange Offers
We are offering, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus, and in the accompanying letters of transmittal, to exchange the old securities for new securities as follows:
New Securities Series | Corresponding Old Securities Series | |
---|---|---|
8.00% new notes due 2011 | 8.00% old notes due 2011 | |
7.875% new notes due 2009 | 7.875% old notes due 2009 | |
8.625% new bonds due 2022 | 8.625% old bonds due 2022 | |
7.375% new notes due 2014 | 7.375% old notes due 2014 |
As of the date of this prospectus, the following amounts of each series of old securities are outstanding:
- •
- U.S. $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.00% old notes due 2011
- •
- U.S. $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.875% old notes due 2009
- •
- U.S. $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% old bonds due 2022
- •
- U.S. $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.375% old notes due 2014
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letters of transmittal, we will accept for exchange all old securities that are validly tendered and not withdrawn before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will issue new securities in exchange for an equal principal amount of outstanding old securities accepted in the exchange offers. Holders may only tender 8.00% old notes in a principal amount of U.S. $10,000 and integral multiples thereof. Holders may only tender 7.875% old notes, 8.625% old bonds and 7.375% old notes in a principal amount of U.S. $10,000 and integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to these requirements, you may tender less than the aggregate principal amount of any series of old securities you hold, as long as you appropriately indicate this fact in the letter of transmittal accompanying the old securities you are tendering.
We are sending this prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, to all holders of record of old securities as of February 12, 2003. However, we have chosen this date solely for administrative purposes, and there is no fixed record date for determining which holders of old securities are entitled to participate in the exchange offers. Only holders of old securities, their legal representatives or their attorneys-in-fact may participate in the exchange offers.
The exchange offers are not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of old securities being tendered for exchange. However, our obligation to accept old securities for exchange is subject to certain conditions as set forth below under "—Conditions to the Exchange Offers."
Any holder of old securities that is an "affiliate" of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust or an "affiliate" of any of the guarantor or the subsidiary guarantors may not participate in the exchange offers. We use the term "affiliate" as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. We believe that, as of the date of this prospectus, no such holder is an "affiliate" as defined in Rule 405.
Before the exchange offers commence, we will publish a notice in Luxembourg announcing the date of the commencement of the exchange offers and the expiration date. Upon completion of the exchange offers, we will publish the results of the exchange offers in Luxembourg, and we will file with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange a supplemental prospectus that specifies the results of the exchange offers, including the amount exchanged and information regarding the new securities.
We will have formally accepted validly tendered old securities when we give written notice of our acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as our agent for the purpose of receiving old securities from holders and delivering new securities to them in exchange.
44
The new securities issued pursuant to the exchange offers will be delivered as promptly as practicable following the expiration date. If we do not extend the expiration date, then we would expect to deliver the new securities on or about March 25, 2003.
Representations upon Tender of Old Securities
By tendering old securities in exchange for new securities, each holder will represent to us that:
- •
- any new securities you receive will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;
- •
- if you are not a broker-dealer, you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new securities;
- •
- neither you nor any person who will receive the new securities has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new securities;
- •
- you are not an "affiliate" of ours or any of the guarantor or the subsidiary guarantors, as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act; and
- •
- if you are a broker-dealer, (a) you will receive new securities for your own account in exchange for old securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and (b) you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such new securities.
Resale of New Securities
Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to other issuers, we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new securities issued in the exchange offers without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act. However, this right to freely offer, resell and transfer exists only if:
- •
- you are not a broker-dealer who purchased the old securities directly from us for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available exemption under the Securities Act;
- •
- you are not an "affiliate" of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust or one of the guarantors, as the term "affiliate" is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and
- •
- you are acquiring the new securities in the ordinary course of your business, you are not participating in, and do not intend to participate in, a distribution of the new securities and you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new securities.
If you acquire new securities in the exchange offers for the purpose of distributing or participating in a distribution of the new securities or you have any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the new securities, you may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction.
Each broker-dealer participating in the exchange offers must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new securities received in exchange for old securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The letter of transmittal that all holders must complete in order to participate in the exchange states that by acknowledging this obligation and delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
A broker-dealer may use this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with resales of new securities received in exchange for old securities where the
45
broker-dealer acquired the old securities as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed to make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for up to 180 days after the registration statement is declared effective (subject to extension under certain circumstances) for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."
Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments
The exchange offers will expire on March 25, 2003, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, unless we extend the exchange offers. If we extend them, the exchange offers will expire on the latest date and time to which they are extended.
If we elect to extend the expiration date, we will notify the exchange agent of the extension by written notice and will make a public announcement regarding the extension prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to:
- •
- delay accepting any old securities tendered,
- •
- extend the exchange offers, and
- •
- amend the terms of the exchange offers in any manner.
If we amend the exchange offers and we determine that the change is material, we will promptly disclose the amendments in a prospectus supplement that we will distribute to the registered holders of the old securities. The term "registered holder" as used in this prospectus with respect to the old securities means any person in whose name the old securities are registered on the books of the trustee.
If the exchange offers are extended, we will publish a notice in Luxembourg, and we will notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of the new expiration date.
Procedures for Tendering Old Securities
Old securities can only be tendered by a financial institution that is a participant in the book entry transfer system of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").
If you are a DTC participant and you wish to tender your old securities in the exchange offers, you must:
- 1.
- transmit your old securities by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by the exchange agent at the book-entry transfer facility system maintained by DTC before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date; and
- 2.
- acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal through electronic transmission of an agent's message via DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") system.
The term "agent's message" means a computer-generated message that DTC's book-entry transfer facility has transmitted to the exchange agent and that the exchange agent has received. The agent's message forms part of a book-entry transfer confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement from you as the participating holder tendering old securities that you have received the letter of transmittal and agree to be bound by its terms. We may enforce this agreement against you.
46
If you are not a direct participant in DTC and hold your old securities through a DTC participant or the facilities of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking,société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), you must:
- 1.
- submit in accordance with the procedures of the DTC participant, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg a completed and executed letter of transmittal with respect to the old securities being tendered; and
- 2.
- deliver computerized instructions to the DTC participant, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg to transfer your old securities to the exchange agent's account at DTC.
You must be sure to take these steps sufficiently in advance of the expiration date to allow enough time for the DTC participant, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg to arrange for the timely electronic submission of the letter of transmittal, as well as delivery of your old securities, through DTC's ATOP system.
Delivery of documents to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent through DTC's ATOP system. You may not send any old securities, letters of transmittal or other documents to us.
You can obtain copies of the letter of transmittal at the offices of the exchange agent and our Luxembourg listing agent, whose addresses are set forth below.
In the unlikely event that your old securities are issued in definitive certificated form, you may tender your certificated securities by delivering them duly endorsed with a properly executed letter of transmittal, by hand or overnight courier, to the exchange agent at its address set forth under "—Exchange Agent" or to the exchange agent in Luxembourg at:
Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A.
2 Boulevard Konrad Adenauer
L-1115 Luxembourg
Phone: (352) 42122-1
Fax: (352) 42122-449
on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
47
If you are a beneficial owner whose old securities are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender old securities in the exchange offers, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf.
Your tender of old securities and our acceptance of them as part of the exchange offers will constitute an agreement between you and the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust under which both of us accept the terms and conditions contained in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.
We will determine in our sole discretion all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance and withdrawal of old securities tendered for exchange, and our determinations will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all old securities that are not properly tendered or any old securities which we cannot, in our opinion or that of our counsel, lawfully accept. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offers as to particular old securities or particular holders of old securities either before or after the expiration date.
Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offers (including the letter of transmittal and accompanying instructions) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless we waive them, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old securities for exchange must be cured within a period of time that we will determine. While we will use reasonable efforts to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old securities for exchange, we will not incur any liability for failure to give notification. We will not consider old securities to have been tendered until any defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.
If any letter of transmittal or any other documents required by the letter of transmittal are signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person must indicate his status when signing and must submit proper evidence that satisfies us that he has the authority to act in this capacity, unless we waive this requirement.
Acceptance of Old Securities for Exchange; Delivery of New Securities
After all the conditions to the exchange offers have been satisfied or waived, we will accept any and all old securities that are properly tendered before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will deliver the new securities that we issue in the exchange offers as promptly as practicable after the expiration date. For purposes of the exchange offers, we will have formally accepted validly tendered old securities when we give written notice of acceptance to the exchange agent.
We will issue new securities in exchange for old securities only after the exchange agent's timely receipt of:
- •
- a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the old securities into the exchange agent's DTC account; and
- •
- an agent's message transmitted through DTC's ATOP system in which the tendering holder acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal.
However, we reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities in the tender or conditions of the exchange offers. If we do not accept any tendered old securities for any reason, they will be returned, without expense to the tendering holder, as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offers.
48
Withdrawal of Tenders
Unless we have already accepted the old securities under the exchange offers, you may withdraw your tendered old securities at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
For a withdrawal to be effective, the exchange agent must receive a written notice through the electronic submission of an agent's message through, and in accordance with, the withdrawal procedures applicable to DTC's ATOP system, before we have accepted the old securities for exchange and before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Notices of withdrawal must:
- 1.
- specify the name of the person who deposited the old securities to be withdrawn,
- 2.
- identify the series of old securities to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of such old securities, and
- 3.
- be signed electronically by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which the holder tendered the old securities.
We will determine in our sole discretion all questions relating to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of withdrawal notices. We will consider old securities that are properly withdrawn as not validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offers. Any old securities that are tendered for exchange but are withdrawn will be returned to their holder, without cost, as soon as practicable after their valid withdrawal. You may retender any old securities that have been properly withdrawn at any time on or before the expiration date by following the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering Old Securities" above.
Conditions to the Exchange Offers
Notwithstanding any other terms of the exchange offers or any extension of the exchange offers, there are some circumstances in which we are not required to accept old securities for exchange or issue new securities in exchange for them. In these circumstances, we may terminate or amend the exchange offers as described above before accepting old securities. We may take these steps if:
- •
- we determine that we are not permitted to effect the exchange offers because of any change in law or applicable interpretations by the SEC;
- •
- a stop order is in effect or has been threatened with respect to the exchange offers or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; provided that we use our best efforts to prevent the stop order from being issued, or if it has been issued, to have it withdrawn as promptly as practicable; or
- •
- we determine in our reasonable judgment that our ability to proceed with the exchange offers may be materially impaired because of changes in the SEC staff's interpretations.
If we determine, in good faith, that any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, we have the right to:
- •
- refuse to accept any old securities and return all tendered securities to the tendering holders,
- •
- extend the exchange offers and retain all old securities that were tendered prior to the expiration date, unless the holders exercise their right to withdraw them (see "—Withdrawal of Tenders"), or
- •
- waive the unsatisfied conditions of the exchange offers and accept all validly tendered old securities that have not been withdrawn. If a waiver of this type constitutes a material change to the exchange offers, we will promptly disclose the waiver in a supplement to this prospectus that will be distributed to the registered holders. We may also extend the exchange offers for a
49
period of time, depending on the waiver's significance and the manner in which it was disclosed to the registered holders, if the exchange offers would otherwise expire during that period.
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
You will not be able to exchange old securities for new securities under the exchange offers if you do not tender your old securities by the expiration date. After the exchange offers expire, holders may not offer or sell their untendered old securities in the United States except in accordance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. However, subject to some conditions, we have an obligation to file a shelf registration statement covering resales of untendered old securities, as discussed below under "—Shelf Registration Statement."

Fees and Expenses
We will pay all expenses related to our performance of the exchange offers, including:
- •
- all SEC registration and filing fees and expenses,
- •
- all costs related to compliance with federal securities and state "blue sky" laws,
- •
- all printing expenses,
- •
- all fees and disbursements of our attorneys, and
- •
- all fees and disbursements of our independent certified public accountants.
The initial purchasers have agreed to reimburse us for some of these expenses.
50
We will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons soliciting acceptances of the exchange offers. However, we will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the exchange offers.
Transfer Taxes
We will pay all transfer taxes incurred by you as a holder tendering your old securities for exchange under the exchange offers. However, you will be responsible for paying any applicable transfer taxes on those transactions if:
- •
- you instruct us to register the new securities in someone else's name, or
- •
- you request that we return untendered or withdrawn old securities or old securities not accepted in the exchange offer to someone else.
Shelf Registration Statement
Under the registration rights agreements, we are obligated in some situations to file a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act covering holders' resales of old securities. We will use our best efforts to cause a shelf registration statement to become effective if:
- 1.
- we cannot file the exchange offers registration statement or issue the new securities because the exchange offers are no longer permitted by applicable law or applicable SEC policy;
- 2.
- for any other reason, we fail to complete the exchange offers within the time period set forth in the applicable registration rights agreement;or
- 3.
- any holder notifies us less than 20 days after the exchange offers are completed that:
- •
- a change in applicable law or SEC policy prevents it from reselling the new securities to the public without delivering a prospectus, and this prospectus is not appropriate or available for such resales;
- •
- it is an initial purchaser and owns old securities purchased directly from us or an affiliate of ours; or
- •
- the holders of a majority of the relevant series of old securities are not allowed to resell to the public the new securities acquired in the exchange offers without restriction under the Securities Act or applicable "blue sky" or state securities laws.
If we are obligated to file a shelf registration statement, we will at our own expense use our best efforts to file it within 30 days after the filing obligation arises (but in no event before August 1 or after September 30 of any calendar year).
We will use our best efforts to have the SEC declare the shelf registration statement effective within 60 days after we are required to file the shelf registration statement, and to keep the shelf registration statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained in it to permit any holder of securities covered by it to deliver that prospectus for use in connection with any resale until the earlier of two years after the issue date of the old securities (or a shorter period under certain circumstances) or such time as all of the securities covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold. Nonetheless, we will not be required to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC or keep it effective, supplemented or amended during any period prior to August 1 or after September 30 of any calendar year.
In the event that a shelf registration statement is filed, we will provide each holder of old securities that cannot be transferred freely with copies of the prospectus that is part of the shelf
51
registration statement, notify each holder when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions that are required to permit unrestricted resales of the new securities. A holder that sells old securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with its sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement that are applicable to that holder (including certain indemnification rights and obligations).
In order to be eligible to sell its securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement, a holder must comply with our request for information about the holder which we may, as required by the SEC, include in the shelf registration statement within 15 days after receiving our request.
Additional Interest
Under the registration rights agreements, we must pay additional interest as liquidated damages to holders of old securities of the relevant series in the event of any of the following registration defaults:
- 1.
- we do not file the registration statement or shelf registration statement in lieu thereof, on or before September 2, 2002 for the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds, and on or before September 2, 2003 for the 7.375% old notes,
- 2.
- the registration statement or shelf registration statement in lieu thereof is not declared effective by the SEC on or before September 2, 2002 for the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds, and on or before September 2, 2003 for the 7.375% old notes,
- 3.
- we fail to consummate the exchange offers by October 2, 2002 for the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds, and by October 2, 2003 for the 7.375% old notes,
- 4.
- a shelf registration statement required to be filed pursuant to a registration rights agreement is not filed on or before the date specified for its filing,
- 5.
- a shelf registration statement otherwise required to be filed is not declared effective on or before the date specified in the relevant registration rights agreement, or
- 6.
- the shelf registration statement is declared effective but subsequently, subject to certain limited exceptions, ceases to be effective at any time that we and the guarantors are obligated to maintain its effectiveness.
After a registration default occurs, we will increase the interest rate on the old securities of the affected series (or in the case of a default under clause 4, 5 or 6 above, the interest rate on the old securities of the affected series to which the default relates) by 0.25% per year over the rate stated on the face of the securities for each 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum increase of 1.00% over the original rate. We call this increase in the interest rate "additional interest." Because we were not able to file the exchange offer registration statement for the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds by September 2, 2002 and consummate those exchange offers by October 2, 2002, the 8.00% old notes, 7.875% old notes and 8.625% old bonds earned additional interest at the rate of 0.25% per year during the period from September 3, 2002 until December 2, 2002, and since December 2, 2002, have been earning additional interest at the rate of 0.50% per year. Our obligation to pay additional interest will cease once we have cured the registration defaults, and the applicable interest rate will revert to the original rate.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW SECURITIES
General
This is a summary of the material terms of the new securities and the indenture dated July 31, 2000 among the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, Petróleos Mexicanos and the trustee. Because this is a summary, it does not contain the complete terms of the new securities and the indenture, and may not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the new securities. A copy of the indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement, which includes this prospectus. We urge you to closely examine and review the indenture itself. See "Where You Can Find More Information" for information on how to obtain a copy. You may also inspect a copy of the indenture at the corporate trust office of the trustee, which is currently located at:
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas
280 Park Avenue
9th Floor
New York, NY 10017
Phone: (212) 454-4217
Fax: (212) 454-2223
and at the office of the Luxembourg paying and transfer agent and exchange agent in Luxembourg, which is located at:
Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A.
2 Boulevard Konrad Adenauer
L-1115 Luxembourg
Phone: (352) 42122-1
Fax: (352) 42122-449
We will issue the new securities under the indenture. The form and terms of the new securities will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old securities except that:
- •
- we will register the new securities under the Securities Act and therefore they will not bear legends restricting their transfer;
- •
- holders of the new securities will not receive some of the benefits of the registration rights agreements; and
- •
- we will not issue the new securities under our medium-term note program.
The 8.00% new notes we are offering and the 8.00% old notes we previously sold will collectively be a single series for all purposes under the indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemption, offers to purchase and acceleration. Similarly, the 7.875% new notes we are offering and the 7.875% old notes we previously sold will collectively be a single series for all purposes under the indenture. The 8.625% new bonds we are offering and the 8.625% old bonds we previously sold will be a single series for all purposes under the indenture. The 7.375% new notes we are offering and the 7.375% old notes we previously sold also will be a single series for all purposes under the indenture.
We will issue the 8.00% new notes only in fully registered form, without coupons and in denominations of U.S. $10,000 and integral multiples thereof. We will issue the 7.875% new notes, 8.625% new bonds and 7.375% new notes only in fully registered form, without coupons and in denominations of U.S. $10,000 and integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. One or more registered securities in global form will represent the new securities, and in certain circumstances, new securities in definitive form may represent the new securities. See "Book Entry; Delivery and Form."
The new securities will be issued in four series which will mature on November 15, 2011, in the case of the 8.00% new notes, February 1, 2009, in the case of the 7.875% new notes, February 1, 2022,
53
in the case of the 8.625% new bonds and December 15, 2014 in the case of the 7.375% new notes. The new securities of each series will bear interest at the relevant rate that is stated on the cover page of this prospectus. In addition, the 8.00% new notes, 7.875% new notes and 8.625% new bonds will bear additional interest during the period from the last day on which interest was paid until the date the exchange is completed. The additional interest on the 8.00% new notes will accrue from November 15, 2002 until December 2, 2002 at the rate of 0.25% per year, and from December 2, 2002 until the exchange offers are completed at the rate of 0.50% per year. The additional interest on the 7.875% new notes and 8.625% new bonds will accrue from February 1, 2003 until the exchange offers are completed at the rate of 0.50% per year. We will compute the amount of each interest payment on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
We will pay interest on the following dates:
- •
- for the 8.00% new notes, May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2003,
- •
- for the 7.875% new notes, February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2003,
- •
- for the 8.625% new bonds, February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2003, and
- •
- for the 7.375% new notes, June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2003.
Principal and Interest Payments
We will make payments of principal of and interest on the new securities represented by a global note by wire transfer of U.S. dollars to DTC or to its nominee as the registered owner of the new securities, which will receive the funds for distribution to the holders. We expect that the holders will be paid in accordance with the procedures of DTC and its participants. Neither we nor the trustee or any paying agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any of the records of, or payments made by, DTC or its nominee.
If the new securities are represented by definitive securities, we will make interest and principal payments to you, as a holder, by wire transfer if:
- •
- you own at least $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new securities; and
- •
- not less than 15 days before the payment date, you notify the trustee of your election to receive payment by wire transfer and provide it with your bank account information and wire transfer instructions.
OR
- •
- we are making the payments at maturity; and
- •
- you surrender the new securities at the corporate trust office of the trustee or at the offices of the other paying agents that we appoint pursuant to the indenture.
If we do not pay interest by wire transfer for any reason, we will, subject to applicable laws and regulations, mail a check to you on or before the due date for the payment at your address as it appears on the register maintained by the trustee on the applicable record date.
We will pay interest payable on the new securities, other than at maturity, to the registered holders at the close of business on the 15th day (whether or not a business day) (a "regular record date") before the due date for the payment. Should we not make punctual interest payments, such payments
54
will no longer be payable to the holders of the new securities on the regular record date. Under such circumstances, we may either:
- •
- pay interest to the persons in whose name the new securities are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of defaulted interest. The trustee will fix the special record date and will provide notice of that date to the holders of the new securities not less than ten days before the special record date; or
- •
- pay interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the new securities are then listed.
Interest payable at maturity will be payable to the person to whom principal of the new securities is payable.
If any money that the issuer, the guarantor or a subsidiary guarantor pays to the trustee for principal or interest is not claimed at the end of two years after the payment was due and payable, the trustee will repay that amount to the issuer upon its written request. After that repayment, the trustee will not have any further liability with respect to the payment. However, the issuer's obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the new securities, and the obligations of the guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors on their respective guaranties and subsidiary guaranties with respect to that payment, will not be affected by that repayment. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, your right to receive payment of principal of any new security (whether at maturity or otherwise) or interest will become void at the end of five years after the due date for that payment.
If the due date for the payment of principal, interest or additional amounts with respect to any new security falls on a Saturday or Sunday or another day on which the banks in New York are authorized to be closed, then holders will have to wait until the next business day to receive payment. You will not be entitled to any extra interest or payment as a result of that delay.
Paying and Transfer Agents
We will pay principal of the new securities, and holders of the new securities may present them for registration of transfer or exchange, at:
- •
- the corporate trust office of the trustee,
- •
- the office of the Luxembourg paying and transfer agent, or
- •
- the office of any other paying agent or transfer agent that we appoint.
With certain limitations that are detailed in the indenture, we may, at any time, change or end the appointment of any paying agent or transfer agent with or without cause. We may also appoint another, or additional, paying agent or transfer agent, as well as approve any change in the specified offices through which those agents act. In any event, however:
- •
- at all times we must maintain a paying agent, transfer agent and registrar in New York, New York, and
- •
- if and for as long as the new securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and if the rules of that stock exchange require, we must have a paying agent and a transfer agent in Luxembourg.
We have initially appointed the trustee at its corporate trust office as principal paying agent, transfer agent, authenticating agent and registrar for all of the new securities. The trustee will keep a register in which we will provide for the registration of transfers of the new securities.
We will give you notice of any of these terminations or appointments or changes in the offices of the agents in accordance with "—Notices" below.
55
Guaranties
Guaranty. Pursuant to the Indenture, Petróleos Mexicanos has unconditionally guaranteed the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by the issuer in respect of the securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration or otherwise.
Subsidiary Guaranties. In a guaranty agreement dated July 29, 1996, which we refer to as the subsidiary guaranty agreement, among Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors, each of the subsidiary guarantors will be jointly and severally liable with Petróleos Mexicanos for all payment obligations of Petróleos Mexicanos under international financing agreements entered into by Petróleos Mexicanos. This liability extends only to those payment obligations that Petróleos Mexicanos designates as being entitled to the benefit of the subsidiary guaranty agreement in a certificate of designation.
Petróleos Mexicanos has designated both the indenture and the new securities as benefiting from the guaranty agreement in certificates of designation, dated November 26, 2001 for the 8.00% notes, February 1, 2002 for the 7.875% notes and the 8.625% bonds and December 12, 2002 for the 7.375% notes. Accordingly, each of the subsidiary guarantors will be unconditionally liable for Petróleos Mexicanos' obligations under its guaranty of all amounts payable by the issuer in respect of the new securities as and when they become due and payable.
Under the terms of the subsidiary guaranty agreement, each of the subsidiary guarantors will be jointly and severally liable for the full amount of each payment under the guaranty by the guarantor. Although the issuer, the guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors may terminate the guaranty agreement in the future, the guaranties of the subsidiary guarantors on all obligations designated before termination will remain in effect until all amounts payable with respect to such obligations have been paid in full. These designated amounts will include the entire principal of and interest on the new securities.
Any amendment to the subsidiary guaranty agreement which would affect the rights of any party to, or beneficiary of, the indenture and the new securities will be valid only with the consent of the same parties, or percentage of holders, as is required to amend the indenture or the new securities.
Ranking of New Securities and Guaranties
The new securities will be direct, unsecured and unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness of the issuer. All of the new securities will be equal in the right of payment with each other.
The payment obligations of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust under the new securities will rank equally with all of its other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness for borrowed money. The guaranty of the new securities by Petróleos Mexicanos and the guaranties by the subsidiary guarantors of Petróleos Mexicanos' payment obligations under its guaranty will be direct, unsecured and unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness of the guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors and will rank equal in the right of payment with each other and with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness for borrowed money of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors, respectively.
The new securities are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, Mexico.
56
When the issuer, the guarantor or the subsidiary guarantors make a payment on the new securities or its respective guaranty, we may be required to deduct or withhold present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges imposed by Mexico or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in Mexico (we call these Mexican withholding taxes). If this happens, the issuer, the guarantor or the subsidiary guarantors will pay the holders of the new securities additional amounts as may be necessary to insure that every net payment made by the issuer, the guarantor or the subsidiary guarantors, after deduction or withholding for Mexican withholding taxes, will not be less than the amount actually due and payable on the new securities. However, this obligation to pay additional amounts will not apply to:
- 1.
- any Mexican withholding taxes which would not have been imposed on a holder of new securities were there not some past or present connection between the holder and Mexico or any of its political subdivisions, territories, possessions or areas subject to its jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, that holder:
- •
- being or having been a citizen or resident of Mexico,
- •
- maintaining or having maintained an office, permanent establishment, fixed base or a branch in Mexico,
- •
- being or having been present or engaged in trade or business in Mexico, except for a connection arising solely from the ownership of, or the receipt of payment under, the new securities; or
- 2.
- any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
- 3.
- any Mexican withholding taxes that are imposed because the holder failed to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation, declaration or other reporting requirement that is imposed or required by a statute, treaty, regulation, general rule or administrative practice as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the imposition, withholding or deduction of any Mexican withholding taxes, but only if we have given written notice to the trustee with respect to these reporting requirements at least 60 days before:
- •
- the first payment date to which this paragraph (3) applies; and
- •
- in the event the requirements change, the first payment date after a change in the reporting requirements to which this paragraph (3) applies;
- 4.
- any Mexican withholding taxes imposed at a rate greater than 4.9%, if a holder has failed to provide, on a timely basis at our reasonable request, any information or documentation (not included in paragraph (3) above) concerning the holder's eligibility, if any, for benefits under an income tax treaty that Mexico is a party to that is necessary to determine the appropriate deduction or withholding rate of Mexican withholding taxes under that treaty;
- 5.
- any Mexican withholding taxes that would not have been imposed if the holder had presented its new security for payment within 15 days after the date when the payment became due and payable or the date payment was provided for, whichever is later; or
- 6.
- any payment to a holder who is a fiduciary, partnership or someone other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment, to the extent that the beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of the partnership or the beneficial owner of the payment would not have been entitled to the payment of the additional amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner actually been the holder of the new security.
57
All references in this prospectus to principal of and interest on new securities, unless the context otherwise requires, mean and include all additional amounts, if any, payable on the new securities.
Paragraphs (3) and (4) above will not apply if the reporting requirements described in those paragraphs would be materially more onerous, in form, procedure or the substance of the information disclosed, to the holder or beneficial owner of the new securities, than comparable information or other applicable reporting requirements under United States federal income tax law (including the United States-Mexico income tax treaty), enacted or proposed regulations and administrative practice. When looking at the comparable burdens, we will take into account the relevant differences between United States and Mexican law, regulations and administrative practice.
In addition, paragraphs (3) and (4) will not apply if Rule 3.25.15, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on May 30, 2002, or a substantially similar future rule, is in effect, unless:
- •
- the reporting requirements in paragraphs (3) and (4) are expressly required by statute, regulation, general rules or administrative practice in order to apply Rule 3.25.15 or a substantially similar future rule, and we cannot get the necessary information or satisfy any other reporting requirements on our own through reasonable diligence and we would otherwise meet the requirements to apply Rule 3.25.15 or a substantially similar future rule; or
- •
- in the case of a holder or beneficial owner that is a pension fund or other tax exempt organization, if that entity would be subject to a lesser Mexican withholding tax than provided in Rule 3.25.15 if the information required in paragraph (4) were furnished.
We will not interpret paragraph (3) or (4) above to require a holder or beneficial owner of the new securities to register with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit for the purpose of establishing eligibility for an exemption from or reduction of Mexican withholding taxes.
Upon written request, we will provide the trustee, the holders and the paying agent with a certified or authenticated copy of an original receipt of the payment of Mexican withholding taxes which the issuer, the guarantor or a subsidiary guarantor has withheld or deducted from any payments made under or with respect to the new securities or the guaranty of the new securities.
If we pay additional amounts with respect to the new securities that are based on rates of deduction or withholding of Mexican withholding taxes that are higher than the applicable rate, and the holder is entitled to make a claim for a refund or credit of this excess, then by accepting the new security, the holder shall be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title and interest to any claim for a refund or credit of this excess to the issuer, the guarantor or the applicable subsidiary guarantor, as the case may be. However, by making this assignment, you do not promise that we will be entitled to that refund or credit and you will not incur any other obligation with respect to that claim.
Tax Redemption
The issuer has the option to redeem either (or both) series of the new securities in whole, but not in part, at par at any time, together with, if applicable, interest accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, if:
- 1.
- the issuer or the guarantor certifies to the trustee immediately prior to giving the notice that it has or will become obligated to pay greater additional amounts than we would have been obligated to pay if payments (including payments of interest) on the new securities or payments under the guaranties with respect to interest on the new securities were subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10%, because of a change in, or amendment to, or lapse of, the laws, regulations or rulings of Mexico or any of its political subdivisions or taxing authorities affecting taxation, or any change in, or amendment to, an official interpretation or application
58
- 2.
- before publishing any notice of redemption, the issuer shall deliver to the trustee a certificate signed by the issuer or the guarantor stating that the issuer or the guarantor cannot avoid the obligation referred to in paragraph (1) above, despite taking reasonable measures available to it. The trustee is entitled to accept this certificate as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the requirements of paragraph (1) above.
of laws, regulations or rulings, that becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of such securities; and
We can exercise our redemption option by giving the holders of the new securities irrevocable notice not less than 30 but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption. Once accepted, a notice of redemption will be conclusive and binding on the holders of the new securities. We may not give a notice of redemption earlier than 90 days before the earliest date on which we would have been obligated to pay additional amounts as described in paragraph (1) above, and at the time we give that notice, our obligation to pay additional amounts must still be in effect.
Assumption of Issuer's Obligations by the Guarantor
Petróleos Mexicanos may at any time directly assume the payment and performance obligations of the issuer under any of the series of the securities and the issuer's obligations under the indenture with respect to the same series of securities without the consent of the holders, but only if, after giving effect to this assumption, no event of default under the relevant securities has occurred and is continuing. Upon the assumption, the guarantor will execute a supplemental indenture evidencing this assumption and the issuer will be released from its obligations with respect to the securities.
Negative Pledge
Petróleos Mexicanos will not create or permit to exist, and will not allow the issuer, Petróleos Mexicanos' subsidiaries or the subsidiary guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries to create or permit to exist, any Security Interest in their crude oil or receivables in respect of crude oil to secure:
- •
- any of its or their Public External Indebtedness,
- •
- any of its or their guarantees of Public External Indebtedness, or
- •
- any Public External Indebtedness or guarantees of any other person,
Unless at the same time or before creating such Security Interest the securities are secured equally and ratably by the same Security Interest or are given another Security Interest approved by the holders of at least 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the securities of each series.
However, the issuer, the guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors and their respective subsidiaries may create Security Interests in their crude oil and crude oil receivables if:
- 1.
- on the date the Security Interest is created, the total of:
- •
- the amount of principal and interest payments secured by Oil Receivables due during that calendar year under Receivable Financings entered into on or before that date; plus
- •
- the total revenues in that calendar year from the sale of crude oil or natural gas transferred, sold, assigned or disposed of in Forward Sales that are not Government Forward Sales entered into on or before that date; and
- •
- the total amount of payments of the purchase price of crude oil, natural gas or Petroleum Products foregone in that calendar year as a result of all Advance Payment Arrangements entered into on or before that date;
59
- 2.
- the total outstanding amount at any one time of all Receivables Financings, Forward Sales (other than Government Forward Sales) and Advance Payment Arrangements is not greater than $12,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies); and
- 3.
- the guarantor furnishes a certificate to the trustee that certifies that, on the date of the creation of the Security Interest there is no default under any of the financing documents that are identified in the indenture resulting from a failure to pay principal or interest.
is not greater than $4,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies) minus the amount of Government Forward Sales in that calendar year;
For a more detailed description of paragraph (3) above, you may look to the indenture.
The negative pledge does not restrict the issuer, the guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries from creating Security Interests over any of their assets, other than their crude oil and receivables in respect of crude oil. Under Mexican law, all domestic reserves of crude oil belong to Mexico and not to PEMEX, but the guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors have been established with the exclusive purpose of exploiting the Mexican petroleum and gas reserves, including the production of oil and gas, oil products and basic petrochemicals.
In addition, the negative pledge does not restrict the issuer, the guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors or their respective subsidiaries from creating Security Interests to secure any of their obligations that are payable in pesos. Nor does it restrict any of them from creating Security Interests to secure any type of obligation (e.g., commercial bank borrowings) regardless of the currency, other than obligations similar to the new securities (e.g., issuances of debt securities).
Events of Default; Waiver and Notice
If an Event of Default with respect to any series of securities occurs and is not remedied, then the trustee, if requested by the holders of at least 20% in principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series, will give notice to the issuer that the securities of that series are immediately due and payable at their principal amount, together with accrued interest. Each of the following is an Event of Default with respect to a series of securities:

- •
- to enable the issuer lawfully to enter into, exercise its rights and perform and comply with its obligations under the new securities and the indenture,
- •

- (B)
- any subsidiary guarantor ceases to carry on all or a substantial part of its business, or sells, transfers or otherwise voluntarily or involuntarily disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, either by one transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, and that cessation, sale, transfer or other disposal is material in relation to the business of the guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors taken as a whole;

- 14.
- Guaranties: the guaranty of the new securities by the guarantor or the subsidiary guaranty agreement is not in full force and effect or the guarantor or any of the subsidiary guarantors claims that it is not in full force and effect.
If any Event of Default results in the acceleration of the maturity of the securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series may rescind and annul that acceleration at any time before the trustee obtains a judgment for the payment of the money due based on that acceleration. Prior to the rescission and annulment, however, all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of the principal of the securities of that series which became due only because of the declaration of acceleration, must have been cured or waived as provided for in the indenture.
Under the indenture, the holders of the securities must agree to indemnify the trustee before the trustee is required to exercise any right or power under the indenture at the request of the holders. The trustee is entitled to this indemnification, provided that its actions are taken with the requisite standard of care during an Event of Default. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of a series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for remedies available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power given to the trustee. However, the trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law and the trustee may take other actions that are not inconsistent with the holders' direction.
62
No holder of any security may institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or any remedy under the indenture, unless:
- 1.
- that holder has previously given written notice to the trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
- 2.
- the holders of at least 20% in aggregate principal amount of the securities of that series have made a written request to the trustee to institute proceedings relating to the Event of Default;
- 3.
- those holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity against any costs, expenses or liabilities it might incur;
- 4.
- the trustee has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days after receiving the written notice; and
- 5.
- during the 60-day period in which the trustee has failed to take action, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of that series have not given any direction to the trustee which is inconsistent with the written request.
These limitations do not apply to a holder who institutes a suit for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on a security on or after the due date for that payment.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of any series may, on behalf of the holders of all securities, waive any past default and any Event of Default that arises, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the securities that has not been cured, or a default in respect of a covenant or provision in the indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each affected holder of the securities.
Petróleos Mexicanos is required to furnish annually to the trustee a statement regarding the performance of the issuer's and the guarantor's obligations under the indenture and any default in that performance.
Purchase of New Securities
The issuer, the guarantor or any of the subsidiary guarantors may at any time purchase new securities at any price in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The issuer, the guarantor, or any subsidiary guarantor may hold, resell or surrender to the trustee for cancellation any new securities purchased by it.
Modification and Amendment
The issuer and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the terms of the securities of any series or the indenture in any way, and the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the securities of any series may make, take or give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that the indenture or the securities allow a holder to make, take or give, when authorized:
- •
- at a meeting of holders that is properly called and held by the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy (authorized in writing), of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series represented at the meeting; or
- •
- with the written consent of the holders of the majority (or of such other percentage as stated in the text of the securities with respect to the action being taken) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities.
However, without the consent of the holder of each affected security, no action may:
- 1.
- change the due date for any payment of principal of or interest on that security;
- 2.
- reduce the principal amount of that new security, the portion of the principal amount that is payable upon acceleration of the maturity of that security or the interest rate on the new security;
63
- 3.
- change U.S. dollars as the currency in which, or change the required places at which, payment with respect to principal of or interest on that security is payable;
- 4.
- permit the issuer to redeem that security prior to maturity, except as permitted under "—Tax Redemption" above;
- 5.
- modify the guarantor's guaranty of the new securities or the subsidiary guaranty agreement in any manner adverse to the holder of any security;
- 6.
- reduce the percentage of the principal amount of the securities, the vote or consent of the holders of which is necessary to modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the securities, or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions thereof or for waiver of certain defaults, except to increase any related percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding security affected by such action; or
- 7.
- change the obligation of the issuer, the guarantor or any subsidiary guarantor to pay additional amounts in respect of Mexican withholding taxes.
The issuer and the trustee may, without the vote or consent of any holder of the securities of a series, modify or amend the indenture or the securities of that series for the purpose of:
- 1.
- adding to the covenants of indenture or the securities for the benefit of the holders of the securities;
- 2.
- surrendering any right or power conferred upon the issuer or the guarantor;
- 3.
- securing the securities as required in the securities or otherwise;
- 4.
- curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision of the indenture or the securities;
- 5.
- reflecting the succession of another corporation to Petróleos Mexicanos or the issuer and the successor corporation's assumption of the covenants and obligations of Petróleos Mexicanos or the issuer, as the case may be, under the new securities and the indenture;
- 6.
- amending the indenture or the new securities in any manner which the issuer and the trustee may determine and that will not adversely affect the rights of any holder of new securities in any material respect; or
- 7.
- modifying, eliminating or adding to the provisions of the indenture to the extent necessary to qualify the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or under any similar U.S. federal statute enacted in the future or adding to the indenture any additional provisions that are expressly permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.
The consent of the holders is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if the consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment under the indenture becomes effective, we will mail to the holders a notice briefly describing the amendment. However, the failure to give this notice to all the holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders
No director, officer, employee or stockholder of the issuer, the guarantor or any of the subsidiary guarantors, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the issuer, the guarantor or any of the subsidiary guarantors under the new securities, the indenture, the guaranty agreement or the subsidiary guaranty agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder by accepting its new securities waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the new securities. This waiver may not be
64
effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Immunity
The new securities and the indenture will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except that authorization and execution of the new securities and the indenture by the guarantor will be governed by the laws of Mexico. The payment obligations of the guarantors under the guaranty agreement and the payment obligations of the subsidiary guarantors under the subsidiary guarantee agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
The guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors have appointed the Consul General of Mexico in New York as their authorized agent for service of process in any action based on the new securities that a holder may institute in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The issuer, the guarantors, each subsidiary guarantor and the trustee have submitted to the jurisdiction of these courts and have waived any objection which they may have to the venue of these courts. In addition, the guarantor and each of the subsidiary guarantors have waived any rights to which they may be entitled on account of place of residence or domicile.
The guarantor and each of the subsidiary guarantors reserve the right to plead sovereign immunity under the Immunities Act in actions brought against them under U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws. The guarantor's and each of the subsidiary guarantors' appointment of the Consul General as their agent for service of process does not include service of process for these types of actions. Without the guarantor's and the each of the subsidiary guarantors' waiver of immunity regarding these actions, you will not be able to obtain a judgment in a U.S. court against any of them unless such a court determines that the guarantor or a subsidiary guarantor is not entitled to sovereign immunity under the Immunities Act. However, even if you obtain a U.S. judgment under the Immunities Act, you may not be able to enforce this judgment in Mexico. In addition, you may not be able to execute on the guarantor's or any of the subsidiary guarantors' property in the United States to enforce a judgment except under the limited circumstances specified in the Immunities Act.
Mexican law, including Article 27 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, Articles 2, 16 and 60 of the General Law on National Patrimony (and other related articles), Articles 1, 2, 3, 4 (and related articles) of the Regulatory Law, Articles 15, 16 and 19 of the Regulations to the Regulatory Law, Articles 1, 2, 3, 4 (and other related articles) of the Organic Law and Article 4 of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure of Mexico provide, among other things, that
- 1.
- attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution and execution of a final judgment may not be ordered by Mexican courts against property of the guarantor or any subsidiary guarantor;
- 2.
- all domestic petroleum and hydrocarbon resources (whether in solid, liquid, gas or intermediate form) are permanently and inalienably vested in Mexico (and, to that extent, subject to immunity);
- 3.
- the rights to:
- •
- the exploration, exploitation, refining, transportation, storage, distribution and first-hand sale of crude oil;
- •
- the exploration, exploitation, production and first-hand sale of gas, as well as the transportation and storage inextricably linked with such exploitation and production; and
- •
- the production, storage, transportation, distribution and first-hand sale of the derivatives of petroleum (including petroleum products) and of gas used as basic industrial raw materials and considered basic petrochemicals (the "Petroleum Industry");
65
are reserved exclusively to Mexico and, to that extent, the related assets are entitled to immunity; and
- 4.
- the public entities created and appointed by the Federal Congress of Mexico to conduct, control, develop and operate the Petroleum Industry of Mexico are the guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors which are, therefore, entitled to immunity with respect to these exclusive rights and powers.
As a result, regardless of the guarantor's and the subsidiary guarantors' waiver of immunity, a Mexican court may not enforce a judgment against the guarantor or any of the subsidiary guarantors by ordering the attachment of its assets in aid of execution.
Meetings
The indenture has provisions for calling a meeting of the holders of the securities. Under the indenture, the trustee may call a meeting at any time. The issuer or the guarantor also may request a meeting by sending a written request to the trustee detailing the proposed action to be taken at the meeting. In addition, the holders of at least 10% of the principal amount of the outstanding securities of a series may call for a meeting in accordance with the procedures described in the indenture while an Event of Default is continuing.
At any meeting, a quorum exists if the holders of the aggregate principal amount of a series of securities the vote of which is required to take action on the business for which the meeting was called are present.
Any holders' meeting that has properly been called and that has a quorum can be adjourned from time to time by those who are entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the securities of the series that are represented at the meeting. The adjourned meeting may be held without further notice.
Any resolution passed, or decision made, at a holders' meeting that has been properly held in accordance with the indenture is binding on all holders of the securities.
Notices
All notices will be given to the holders of the new securities by mail to their addresses as they are listed in the trustee's register. In addition, for so long as the new securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the exchange require, all notices will be published in a daily newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg (expected to be theLuxemburger Wort). If publication is not practicable, notice will be considered to be validly given if made in accordance with the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

67
Form
One or more permanent global notes (in the case of the 8.00% new notes, the 7.875% new notes and the 7.375% new notes), or global bonds (in the case of the 8.625% new bonds), in fully registered form without coupons, will represent the new securities. We refer to the global notes and global bonds collectively as the "global securities." We will deposit each global security with the trustee at its corporate trust office as custodian for DTC. We will register each global security in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, for credit to the respective accounts at DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg of the holders of old securities participating in the exchange offers or to whichever accounts they direct.
Except in the limited circumstances described below under "—Certificated Securities", owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not receive physical delivery of new securities in registered, certificated form. We will not issue the new securities in bearer form.
When we refer to a new security in this prospectus, we mean any certificated security and any global security. Under the indenture, only persons who are registered on the books of the trustee as the owners of a new security are considered the holders of the new security. Cede & Co., or its successor, as nominee of DTC, is considered the only holder of a new security represented by a global security. The issuer, the guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors and the trustee and any of our respective agents may treat the registered holder of a new security as the absolute owner, for all purposes, of that new security whether or not it is overdue.
Global Securities
The statements below include summaries of certain rules and operating procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg that affect transfers of interests in the global securities.
Except as set forth below, a global security may be transferred, in whole or part, only to DTC, another nominee of DTC or a successor of DTC or that nominee.
Financial institutions will act on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Beneficial interests in a global security will be represented, and transfers of those beneficial interests will be effected, through the accounts of those financial institutions. The interests in the global security may be held and traded in denominations of U.S. $10,000 and integral multiples of U.S. $10,000 (in the case of the 8.00% new notes) and in denominations of U.S. $10,000 and integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess of that amount (in the case of the 7.875% new notes, the 8.625% new bonds and the 7.375% new notes). If investors participate in the DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg systems, they may hold interests directly in DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. If they do not participate in any of those systems, they may indirectly hold interests through an organization that does participate.
At their respective depositaries, both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have customers' securities accounts in their names through which they hold securities on behalf of their participants. In turn, their respective depositaries have, in their names, customers' securities accounts at DTC through which they hold Euroclear's and Clearstream, Luxembourg's respective securities.
DTC has advised us that it is:
- •
- a limited-purpose trust company organized under New York State laws;
- •
- a member of the Federal Reserve System;
68
- •
- a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
- •
- a "clearing agency" registered as required by Section 17A of the Exchange Act.
DTC's participants include:
- •
- securities brokers and dealers;
- •
- banks (including the trustee);
- •
- trust companies;
- •
- clearing corporations; and
- •
- certain other organizations.
Some of DTC's participants or their representatives own DTC. These participants created DTC to hold their securities and to use electronic book-entry changes to facilitate clearing and settling securities transactions in the participants' accounts so as to eliminate the need for the physical movement of certificates.
Access to DTC's book-entry system is also available to others that clear through or maintain a direct or indirect custodial relationship with a participant. Persons who are not participants may beneficially own securities held by DTC only through participants.
When we issue the global securities, DTC will use its book-entry registration and transfer system to credit the respective principal amounts of the new securities represented by the global securities to the accounts of the participants designated by the holders of the old securities participating in the exchange offers.
Any person owning a beneficial interest in any of the global securities must rely on the procedures of DTC and, to the extent relevant, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. If that person is not a participant, that person must rely on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest to exercise any rights of a holder. Owners of beneficial interests in the global securities, however, will not:
- •
- be entitled to have new securities that represent those global notes registered in their names, receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the new securities in certificate form; or
- •
- be considered the holders under the indenture or the new securities.
We understand that it is existing industry practice that if an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security wants to take any action that Cede & Co., as the holder of the global security, is entitled to take, Cede & Co. would authorize the participants to take the desired action, and the participants would authorize the beneficial owners to take the desired action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of the beneficial owners who own through them.
DTC may grant proxies or otherwise authorize DTC participants (or persons holding beneficial interests in the new securities through DTC participants) to exercise any rights of a holder or to take any other actions which a holder is entitled to take under the indenture or the new securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC would mail an omnibus proxy to us assigning Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to the DTC participants to whose accounts the new securities are credited.
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg will take any action a holder may take under the indenture or the new securities on behalf of its participants, but only in accordance with their relevant rules and procedures, and subject to their depositaries' ability to effect any actions on their behalf through DTC.
69
We will allow owners of beneficial interests in the global securities to attend holders' meetings and to exercise their voting rights in respect of the principal amount of new securities that they beneficially own, if they:
- 1.
- obtain a certificate from DTC, a DTC participant, a Euroclear participant or a Clearstream, Luxembourg participant stating the principal amount of new securities beneficially owned by such person; and
- 2.
- deposit that certificate with us at least three business days before the date on which the relevant meeting of holders is to be held.
Certificated Securities
If DTC or any successor depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for a global security, or if it ceases to be a "clearing agency" registered under the Securities Exchange Act, and we do not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after we receive notice from the depositary to that effect, then we will issue or cause to be issued, authenticate and deliver certificated securities, in registered form, in exchange for the global securities. In addition, we may determine that any global security will be exchanged for certificated securities. In that case, we will mail the certificated securities to the addresses that are specified by the registered holder of the global securities. If the registered holder so specifies, the certificated securities may be available for pick-up at the office of the trustee or any transfer agent (including the Luxembourg transfer agent), in each case not later than 30 days following the date of surrender of the relevant global security, endorsed by the registered holder, to the Trustee or any transfer agent.
A holder of certificated securities may transfer those certificated securities or exchange them for certificated securities of any other authorized denomination by returning them to the office or agency that we maintain for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which initially will be the office of the trustee, or at the office of any transfer agent. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer of new securities, but we may require the holder of a new security to pay a fee to cover any related tax or other governmental charge.
Neither the registrar nor any transfer agent will be required to register the transfer or exchange of any certificated securities for a period of 15 days before any interest payment date, or to register the transfer or exchange of any certificated securities that have been called for redemption.
If any certificated security is mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, we will execute and we will request that the trustee authenticate and deliver a new certificated security. The new certificated security will be of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the original certificated security, in exchange and substitution for the original certificated security (upon its surrender and cancellation) or in lieu of and substitution for the certificated security. If a certificated security is destroyed, lost or stolen, the applicant for a substitute certificated security must furnish us and the trustee with whatever security or indemnity we may require to hold each of us harmless. In every case of destruction, loss or theft of a certificated security, the applicant must also furnish us with satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of the certificated security and its ownership. Whenever we issue a substitute certificated security, we may require the registered holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover related fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the principal Mexican and U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to the exchange of old securities and ownership and disposition of the new securities. This summary is based on the U.S. federal and Mexican tax laws in effect on the date of this prospectus. These laws are subject to change. Any change could apply retroactively and could affect the continued validity of the summary. This summary does not describe any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, locality or taxing jurisdiction other than Mexico and the United States.
This summary does not describe all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to your situation, particularly if you are subject to special tax rules. Each holder or beneficial owner of old securities considering an exchange of old securities for new securities should consult its own tax advisor as to the Mexican, United States or other tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of new securities and the exchange of old securities for new securities, including the effect of any foreign, state or local tax laws.
The United States and Mexico entered into a Convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and a Protocol thereto (which we refer to as the tax treaty) which became effective on January 1, 1994. This summary describes the provisions of the tax treaty that may affect the taxation of certain U.S. holders of new securities. The United States and Mexico have also entered into an agreement that covers the exchange of information with respect to tax matters.
Mexico has also entered into, or is registering, tax treaties with various other countries that may have effects on holders of new securities. This summary does not discuss the consequences of such treaties.
Mexican Taxation
This summary of certain Mexican federal tax considerations refers only to potential holders of the new securities who are not residents of Mexico for Mexican tax purposes and who do not conduct a trade or business in Mexico through a permanent establishment. We refer to such non-resident holders as foreign holders. For purposes of Mexican taxation, an individual is a resident of Mexico if:
- •
- he has established his domicile in Mexico, which under Mexican federal tax law, is the place where he makes his home, unless he has resided in another country for more than 183 calendar days, whether consecutive or not, in any one calendar year and can demonstrate that he has become a resident of that other country for tax purposes.
OR
- •
- he is a Mexican national who is presumed to be a resident of Mexico for tax purposes unless such person can demonstrate otherwise.
A legal entity is a resident of Mexico if:
- •
- it has been incorporated under the laws of Mexico,
- •
- maintains its principal place of business in Mexico, or
- •
- it has established its effective management in Mexico.
If a person has a permanent establishment in Mexico, such permanent establishment shall be required to pay taxes in Mexico on income attributable to such permanent establishment in accordance with Mexican federal tax law.
Taxation of Interest and Principal. Under the Mexican income tax law, a Mexican issuer's payments of interest in respect of notes, bonds and other debt securities to a foreign holder will generally be subject to a Mexican withholding tax assessed at a rate of 10% applicable until December 31, 2003. This rate is applicable only if the relevant securities are registered with the Special
71
Section of the National Registry of Securities maintained by the National Banking and Securities Commission. We have made this registration.
Pursuant to the Mexican income tax law in effect until December 31, 2003, payments of interest made by the guarantor or the subsidiary guarantors in respect of the new securities to a foreign holder will be subject to a reduced 4.9% Mexican withholding tax rate. This reduced rate applies if:
- 1.
- the effective beneficiary is a resident, for tax purposes, of a country which has entered into a treaty to avoid double taxation with Mexico which is in effect;
- 2.
- the requirements for the application of a lower rate established in the applicable treaty are satisfied; and
- 3.
- the old securities are registered with the Special Section of the National Registry of Securities, which registration has been made.
The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit has issued reduced rate regulations which will apply a reduced tax rate to the interest payments to foreign holders subject to withholding tax regardless of the place of residence of, or tax regime applicable to, the foreign holder. This reduced rate will apply to a foreign holder of the new securities if:
- 1.
- we have the old securities registered with the Special Section of the National Registry of Securities;
- 2.
- we timely file with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit certain information relating to the issuance of the old securities;
- 3.
- we timely file with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, after the date of each interest payment on the new securities, information representing that no party related to us, directly or indirectly, is the effective beneficiary of 5% or more of the aggregate amount of each such interest payment; and
- 4.
- we maintain records that evidence compliance with 3 above.
The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit promulgates the reduced rate regulations, together with other tax regulations on an annual basis. The current reduced rate will expire on February 28, 2003. We cannot assure you that the reduced rate regulations described above for the application of the reduced rate will be extended beyond February 28, 2003.
Apart from the reduced rate, other special rates of Mexican withholding tax may apply to you. In particular, under the tax treaty, the Mexican withholding tax rate was reduced to a treaty rate of 4.9%, effective January 1, 1999, for payments of interest to certain residents of the United States who are holders of debt securities.
Payments of interest that we make in respect of the new securities to non-Mexican pension or retirement funds will be exempt from Mexican withholding taxes,if such a fund:
- 1.
- is the effective beneficiary of the interest;
- 2.
- is duly organized pursuant to the laws of its country of origin;
- 3.
- is exempt from income tax in its country of origin; and
- 4.
- is registered with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit for that purpose.
Additional Amounts. We have agreed, subject to specified exceptions and limitations, to pay additional amounts, which are specified and defined in the indenture, to the holders of the new securities to cover Mexican withholding taxes. If we pay these additional amounts to cover Mexican withholding taxes, you will give us any refunds that you receive of such paid additional amounts.
We may ask you and other holders or beneficial owners of the new securities to provide certain information or documentation necessary to enable us to determine the appropriate Mexican withholding tax rate applicable to such holders or beneficial owners. In the event that you do not
72
provide the requested information or documentation on a timely basis, our obligation to pay additional amounts may be limited.
Taxation of Dispositions. Capital gains resulting from the sale or other disposition of new securities (including an exchange of old securities for new securities pursuant to the exchange offers), by a Foreign Holder will not be subject to Mexican taxation.
Transfer and Other Taxes. A foreign holder does not need to pay any Mexican stamp, registration or similar taxes in connection with the purchase, ownership or disposition of the new securities. A foreign holder of the new securities will not be liable for Mexican estate, gift, inheritance or similar tax with respect to the new securities.
United States Federal Income Taxation
The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to investors considering the exchange offers. Except for the discussion under "Non-United States Persons" and "Information Reporting and Backup Withholding," the discussion generally applies only to holders of new securities that are U.S. holders. You will be a U.S. holder if you are an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a U.S. domestic corporation, or any other person that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of an investment in the new securities. This summary applies to you only if you own your new securities as capital assets. It does not address considerations that may be relevant to you if you are an investor to which special tax rules apply, such as a bank, tax-exempt entity, insurance company, dealer in securities or currencies, trader in securities that elects mark-to-market treatment, person that will hold new securities as a position in a "straddle" or conversion transaction, or as part of a "synthetic security" or other integrated financial transaction or a person whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar.
Exchange of Old Securities and New Securities. You will not realize any gain or loss upon the exchange of your old securities for new securities. Your tax basis in the new securities will be the same as your tax basis in the old securities.
Taxation of Interest and Additional Amounts. The gross amount of interest and additional amounts (that is, without reduction for Mexican withholding taxes, determined utilizing the appropriate Mexican withholding tax rate applicable to you) you receive will be treated as ordinary interest income in respect of the new securities. Mexican withholding taxes paid at the appropriate rate applicable to you will be treated as foreign income taxes eligible for credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions, or, at your election, for deduction in computing your taxable income. Interest and additional amounts will constitute income from sources without the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Furthermore, interest and additional amounts generally will constitute "passive income" or, in the case of certain U.S. holders, "financial services income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes unless the Mexican withholding tax applicable to you is imposed at a rate of 5% or more, in which case the income will generally constitute "high withholding tax interest."
The calculation of foreign tax credits and, in case you elect to deduct foreign taxes, the availability of deductions, involves the application of rules that depend on your particular circumstances. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits and the treatment of additional amounts.
Taxation of Dispositions. Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a new security, you will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized (not including any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest) and your tax basis in the new security. Gain or loss recognized on the sale, redemption or other disposition of a new security generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the disposition, the new security has been held for more
73
than one year. Long term capital gains recognized by an individual holder generally are subject to a maximum tax rate of 20%.
Non-United States Persons. The following summary applies to you if you are not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You are a United States person, and therefore this summary does not apply to you, if you are:
- •
- a citizen or resident of the United States or its territories, possessions or other areas subject to its jurisdiction,
- •
- a corporation, partnership or other entity organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision,
- •
- an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or
- •
- a trust if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and (2) one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the trust's substantial decisions.
If you are not a United States person, the interest income that you derive in respect of the new securities generally will be exempt from U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding tax. However, to receive this exemption you may be required to satisfy certification requirements, which are described below under the heading "—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding," to establish that you are not a United States person.
Even if you are not a United States person, U.S. federal income taxation may still apply to any interest income you derive in respect of the new securities if:
- •
- you are an insurance company carrying on a U.S. insurance business, within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, or
- •
- you have an office or other fixed place of business in the United States that receives the interest and you earn the interest in the course of operating (1) a banking, financing or similar business in the United States or (2) a corporation the principal business of which is trading in stock or securities for its own account, and certain other conditions exist.
If you are not a United States person, any gain you realize on a sale or exchange of new securities generally will be exempt from U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, unless:
- •
- your gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States or
- •
- you are an individual holder and are present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, and either (1) your gain is attributable to an office or other fixed place of business that you maintain in the United States or (2) you have a tax home in the United States.
U.S. federal estate tax will not apply to a new security held by an individual holder who at the time of death is a non-resident alien.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. The paying agent must file information returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with new security payments made to certain United States persons. If you are a United States person, you generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax on such payments if you provide your taxpayer identification number to the paying agent. You may also be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax requirements with respect to the proceeds from a sale of the new securities. If you are not a United States person, in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding tax requirements you may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that you are not a United States person.
74
Each broker-dealer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of new securities that it receives for its own account in exchange for old securities pursuant to the exchange offers if such broker-dealer acquired such old securities as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, in connection with resales of new securities that it receives in exchange for old securities if such broker-dealer acquired such old securities as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that for a period of 180 days following the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any such broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.
None of the issuer, the guarantor or any of the subsidiary guarantors will receive any proceeds from any sale of new securities by broker-dealers. New securities that broker-dealers receive for their own account pursuant to the exchange offers may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale. These transactions may be at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such new securities. Any broker-dealer that resells new securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new securities may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of new securities and any commission or concessions that any such persons receive may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
For a period of 180 days after the expiration date, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in its letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incidental to the exchange offers, but we will not pay any broker-dealer commissions or concessions. We will indemnify the holders of the old securities, including any broker-dealers, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
By accepting the exchange offers, each broker-dealer that receives new securities in the exchange offers agrees that it will stop using the prospectus if it receives notice from us of any event which makes any statement in this prospectus false in any material respect or which requires any changes in this prospectus in order to make the statements true.
The new securities are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We have applied to have the new securities listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, but we cannot assure you that an active market for the new securities will exist at any time and, if any such market develops, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of such a market.
We have registered the new securities with the Special Section of the National Registry of Securities of Mexico, which is maintained by the National Banking and Securities Commission of Mexico. This registration does not imply that the new securities are investment quality, that the guarantor or the subsidiary guarantors will be solvent or that the information in this prospectus is accurate or complete.
The new securities may not be publicly offered or sold in Mexico.
75
Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, our United States counsel, will pass upon the validity under New York law of the new securities and the guaranties for the guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors. The General Counsel and Head of the Legal Department of the guarantor, will pass upon certain legal matters governed by Mexican law for guarantor and the subsidiary guarantors. Certain legal matters governed by Delaware law will be passed upon by Richards, Layton & Finger, Delaware counsel to the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust.

CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
TheSecretaría de la Contraloría y Desarollo Administrativo (the General Comptroller's Office of the Mexican Government, which we refer to as SECODAM) periodically assigns new independent auditors to PEMEX. Pursuant to actions by SECODAM, in 1998 PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. ceased to be the independent auditors of PEMEX at the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, and Mancera, S.C. (A Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global) were assigned as the independent auditors for PEMEX on September 25, 1998 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000. Pursuant to actions by SECODAM, on October 5, 2001, Mancera, S.C. ceased to be the independent auditors of PEMEX at the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, and Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. (formerly a member firm of Andersen Worldwide S.C.) was initially assigned as PEMEX's new auditors beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. On May 9, 2002, due to the indictment of Arthur Andersen LLP, SECODAM decided to terminate the engagement of Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. for the auditing of PEMEX's financial statements to be included in its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, and instead appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. as the current independent auditors to audit those financial statements. As of that date, Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. delivered only an audit report on PEMEX's financial statements prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards applicable to Mexican public-sector entities.
The independent auditors' reports on the financial statements for the 1999, 2000 and 2001 fiscal years have no adverse opinions or disclaimer of opinions, nor do such reports modify or qualify as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. For the 1997 and 2001 fiscal years, PEMEX had no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. For the 1998, 1999 and 2000 fiscal years, PEMEX had no disagreements with Mancera, S.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. did not and will not deliver an audit report on PEMEX's consolidated financial statements included in its annual report on Form 20-F for the 2001 fiscal year because its engagement was terminated before those financial statements were completed. For the 2001 fiscal year, PEMEX had no disagreements with Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure with respect to its report on our financial statements prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards applicable to Mexican public-sector entities. SECODAM made the decision to change accountants in each of the above instances.
76
The consolidated financial statements of PEMEX as of December 31, 2000 and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 appearing in this prospectus and registration statement were audited by Mancera, S.C. (A Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global), independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and registration statement, which is based on part on the reports of other independent auditors. The financial statements referred to above are included in this prospectus in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts is accounting and auditing.
The consolidated financial statements of PEMEX as of December 31, 2001 and for the year then ended included in this prospectus and registration statement have been so included in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C., independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

- •
- Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary guarantors are the public entities created and appointed by the Federal Congress of Mexico to conduct, control, develop and operate the Petroleum Industry of Mexico and are, therefore, entitled to immunity in respect of such exclusive rights and powers.

In the event that you bring proceedings in Mexico seeking performance of Petróleos Mexicanos' or the subsidiary guarantors' obligations in Mexico, pursuant to the Mexican Monetary Law, Petróleos Mexicanos or any of the subsidiary guarantors may discharge its obligations by paying any sum due in currency other than Mexican pesos, in Mexican pesos at the rate of exchange prevailing in Mexico on the date when payment is made. Banco de México currently determines such rate every business day in Mexico and publishes it in the Official Gazette of the Federation on the following business day.

Petróleos Mexicanos and its four subsidiary entities,Pemex-Exploración y Producción (Pemex-Exploration and Production),Pemex-Refinación (Pemex-Refining),Pemex-Gas y Petroquímica Básica (Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals) andPemex-Petroquímica (Pemex-Petrochemicals), comprise Mexico's state oil and gas company. Each of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities is a decentralized public entity of the Mexican Government and is a legal entity empowered to own property and carry on business in its own name. In addition, a number of subsidiary companies that are defined in Note 1 and listed in Note 2 c) to our financial statements included in Item 18 (the "Financial Statements"), including the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, are incorporated into the consolidated financial statements; these subsidiary companies are also identified with the corresponding ownership percentages in "Consolidated Structure of PEMEX" on page 3. Petróleos Mexicanos, the subsidiary entities and the consolidated subsidiary companies are collectively referred to as "PEMEX" or "we."
References herein to "U.S. $," "$," "U.S. dollars" or "dollars" are to United States dollars. References herein to "pesos" or "Ps." are to the lawful currency of the United Mexican States ("Mexico"). The term "billion" as used herein means one thousand million. We maintain our consolidated financial statements and records in nominal or current pesos. Unless otherwise indicated, we have converted all peso amounts to U.S. dollars in this Form 20-F, including all convenience conversions of the Financial Statements, at an exchange rate of Ps. 9.1423 = $1.00, which is the exchange rate that the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit provided us on December 31, 2001. You should not construe these conversions from pesos into dollars as actually representing such U.S. dollar amounts or meaning that you could convert such amounts into U.S. dollars at the rates indicated. The peso has depreciated substantially in relation to the U.S. dollar since the end of 1994, when the Mexican Government allowed the peso to float freely against the U.S. dollar and the Mexican Government established a broad economic reform program in response to these and other events. Due to the volatility of the peso/dollar exchange rate, the exchange rate on any date subsequent to the date hereof could be materially different from the rate indicated above. See "Item 3—Key Information—Exchange Rates" for information regarding the rates of exchange between pesos and U.S. dollars.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides for a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. This Form 20-F contains words, such as "believe," "expect" and "anticipate" and similar expressions that identify forward-looking statements, which reflect our views about future events and financial performance. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors that may be beyond our control, including, but not limited to, effects on us from competition, changes in the limitations on our access to sources of financing on competitive terms, significant economic or political developments in Mexico, particularly developments affecting the energy sector, and changes in our regulatory environment. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In any event, these statements speak only as of their dates, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Key Information
The selected financial data set forth below should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Financial Statements included in Item 18. The selected financial data set forth below as of the five years ended December 31, 2001 have been derived from the consolidated financial statements of PEMEX for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 (which are not included herein) and the consolidated financial statements of PEMEX for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The consolidated financial statements of PEMEX for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 were audited by Mancera, S.C. (a Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global), and the consolidated financial statements of PEMEX for the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. See "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Change in Independent Auditors."
The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (which we refer to as "Mexican GAAP") and, as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with the guidelines established in Financial Reporting Standard NIF-06 BIS "A," section A. See Notes 2b) and 15 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the inflation accounting rules applicable to us. Mexican GAAP differs in certain significant respects from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (which we refer to as "U.S. GAAP"). The most important of the material items generating a difference between operating results under U.S. and Mexican GAAP are the accounting methodologies for the treatment of exploration and drilling costs, pension premiums and post-retirement benefit obligations, financial instruments, inflation, foreign exchange losses, capitalized interest, and depreciation and impairment of fixed assets, which are described in Note 19 to the Financial Statements and are summarized below.
Under Mexican GAAP, we charge exploration and drilling costs to the equity reserve for exploration and depletion of oil fields. Exploration and drilling costs related to successful oil wells are credited to the equity reserve and recorded as fixed assets. Cost of sales is recognized by recording a charge for each barrel of crude oil extracted in the statement of operations and recording a credit to the equity reserve. Under U.S. GAAP, we initially capitalize the costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells, which are subsequently charged to expense if proved reserves are not discovered. Development costs, including the costs of drilling development wells and development-type stratigraphic test wells, are capitalized.
Seniority premiums and retirement plans generate a difference between U.S. and Mexican GAAP due to the different actuarial cost assumptions and implementation dates applied under Mexican GAAP Bulletin D-3, "Labor Obligations," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87, "Employers Accounting for Pensions."
Under Mexican GAAP, we account for supplemental payments under our Bulletin D-3 calculations. However, we account for other health service benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis under Mexican GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, we follow the guidelines of SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions," in accounting for health service and other supplemental payments provided to retirees.
On January 1, 2001, we adopted Bulletin C-2, "Financial Instruments," issued by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants (MIPA), for Mexican GAAP purposes, and SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities"), for U.S. GAAP purposes. The principal differences between the cumulative effect
85
adjustment and current period income effect under Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP relate primarily to the accounting for cross currency swaps, foreign currency embedded derivatives and the accounting for equity swaps contracts related to shares of Repsol YPF, S.A., which we refer to as "Repsol," described in Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
We apply NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, to our financial statements to reflect the effects of inflation. NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, provides for the restatement of fixed assets, inventories and costs of sales by indexing and/or appraisals. Since NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, does not represent a comprehensive basis of inflation accounting, beginning with our 1992 fiscal year, we have reversed the effects of NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, on our financial statements from the U.S. GAAP reconciliation of income and equity. Under NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, a devaluation of the peso does not have a negative impact on our income because exchange losses are capitalized into fixed assets. Furthermore, a devaluation of the peso relative to the dollar results in an increase in our income to the extent that our expenses remain relatively stable because they are incurred in pesos, while our revenues, which are mostly denominated in dollars or linked to international dollar-denominated prices, increase in peso terms. In contrast, under U.S. GAAP, a devaluation of the peso has a negative impact on our income because the exchange losses are not capitalized but are charged immediately to income. This one-time charge to income will be gradually offset by lower depreciation as the asset base is reduced. In any particular accounting period, the negative impact of a devaluation is, therefore, greater when the devaluation occurs at or near the end of the accounting period, as occurred with the peso at the end of 1994.
With respect to foreign exchange losses, under Mexican GAAP, exchange losses arising from debt are capitalized as part of fixed assets, and any remaining net exchange differences are reflected in the statement of operations as either a debit to costs and operating expenses or a credit to revenues. Under U.S. GAAP, all exchange gains or losses have been recognized in results of operations.
The treatment of capitalized interest for Mexican GAAP purposes differs from the treatment of capitalized interest in the reconciliation of the financial statements to U.S. GAAP. For Mexican GAAP purposes, we capitalize interest to property, plant and equipment based on the total interest cost incurred on loans allocated to construction projects, regardless of whether or not the amounts borrowed have been spent on such projects. For purposes of the U.S. GAAP reconciliation, we capitalize interest based upon total interest incurred in proportion to additions to construction in progress.
Under Mexican GAAP, we depreciate the book value of its fixed assets, which includes amounts capitalized for foreign exchange losses and restatements for inflation. For U.S. GAAP purposes, we have reversed this depreciation expense attributable to foreign exchange losses and restatements for inflation.
Under SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of," we are required to evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment for U.S. GAAP purposes whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is permanently impaired. Such impaired assets must be permanently written down to fair value or the present value of expected future cash flows on related assets. This requirement does not exist under Mexican GAAP.
For a further discussion of these and other adjustments, see "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—U.S. GAAP Reconciliation" and Note 19 to the Financial Statements.

PEMEX does not prepare comprehensive price-level adjusted financial statements in accordance with Bulletin B-10, "Recognition of the Effects of Inflation on Financial Information," under Mexican GAAP. For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, Mexico was deemed to be a hyperinflationary economy. Pursuant to Rule 3-20(c) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, PEMEX has included unaudited selected financial data prepared on the basis of price-level adjusted financial information for these years reflecting the impact of U.S. GAAP adjustments and reclassifications. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, Mexico was not considered a hyperinflationary economy. However, we have continued to provide supplemental unaudited price-level adjusted financial information for these subsequent years in lieu of a comprehensive price-level adjustment that would result from our adoption of Bulletin B-10. In the opinion of PEMEX management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the price-level adjusted financial information have been included herein. This unaudited price-level adjusted financial data is derived from the supplemental price-level adjusted financial information included elsewhere and should also be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements included herein.

Risk Factors Related to the Operations of PEMEX
Crude oil prices are volatile, and low oil prices negatively affect PEMEX's income
International crude oil prices fluctuate due to many factors, including:
- •
- changes in global supply and demand for crude oil and refined petroleum products;
- •
- availability and price of competing commodities;
- •
- international economic trends;
- •
- currency exchange fluctuations;
- •
- expectations of inflation;
- •
- actions of commodity markets participants;
- •
- domestic and foreign government regulations; and
- •
- political events in major oil producing and consuming nations.
We have no control over these factors. Historically, the weighted average price of the crude oil that we export has fluctuated from a high of U.S. $26.82 per barrel in 1984 to a low of U.S. $15.55 per barrel in 1999. In 2001, the weighted average price of PEMEX crude oil was U.S. $18.57 per barrel, 24.6% lower than the weighted average price during 2000. On November 25, 2002, the weighted average spot price of PEMEX crude oil was U.S. $19.99.
89
When international crude oil and natural gas prices are low, we earn less export sales revenue, and, therefore, lower income because our costs remain roughly constant. Conversely, when crude oil and natural gas prices are high, we earn more export sales revenue and our income increases. As a result, future fluctuations in international crude oil prices will directly affect our results of operations and financial condition. We do not enter into transactions to hedge against fluctuations in crude oil prices.
Decreases in PEMEX's estimates from time to time of Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves could reduce PEMEX's potential future income
The reserve data set forth in this Form 20-F represent only estimates. Estimating quantities of proved hydrocarbon reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures is an inexact process and is subject to many factors beyond our control. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, estimates of different engineers may vary. Additionally, the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify revision of an estimate. Therefore, proved reserve estimates may be materially different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that we can ultimately recover.
Pemex-Exploration and Production revises its estimates of Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves annually. This process may result in material revisions to our estimates of Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves.
PEMEX is an integrated oil and gas company and is exposed to production, equipment and transportation risks
We are subject to production, equipment and transportation risks that are common among oil and gas companies. For example, we encounter:
- •
- production risk—i.e., risk related to fluctuations in production that may be affected by reserve levels, accidents, mechanical difficulties, adverse natural conditions, such as bad weather and other acts of God, as well as the inability to manage unforeseen production costs;
- •
- equipment risk—i.e., risk related to adequacy and condition of the production facilities, including equipment becoming obsolete; and
- •
- transportation risk—i.e., risk related to the condition of pipelines and vulnerability of other modes of transportation.
In particular, our business is subject to the risk of:
- •
- pipeline explosions (oil or natural gas);
- •
- explosions in refineries, petrochemical plants, storage and distribution terminals or buoys and monobuoys;
- •
- hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico;
- •
- unexpected geological formations or pressures;
- •
- blow outs, which are sudden, violent explosions of oil, natural gas or water from a drilling well, followed by an uncontrolled flow from the well;
- •
- fires and cratering, which is the caving in and collapse of the earth's structure around a blow out well; and
- •
- mechanical failures and collapsed holes, particularly in horizontal wellbores.
90
The occurrence of any of these events could result in:
- •
- personal injuries or loss of life;
- •
- environmental damage and the necessary clean-up costs and expenses; or
- •
- other damage to our property or the property of others.
In accordance with customary industry practice, we have purchased insurance policies covering some of these risks. However, these policies do not cover all potential liabilities that may result from these risks. In addition, insurance is not available for some of these risks. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—Business Overview—PEMEX Corporate Matters—Insurance."
PEMEX's compliance with environmental regulations in Mexico could result in material adverse effects on its results of operations
A wide range of general and industry-specific Mexican federal and state environmental laws and regulations apply to our operations. Numerous Mexican Government agencies and departments issue rules and regulations which are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial penalties for non-compliance. This regulatory burden on us increases our cost of doing business and can:
- •
- require us to make significant capital expenditures on measures to protect the environment, including abandoning and dismantling onshore wells and offshore platforms;
- •
- reduce our ability to extract hydrocarbons when extraction endangers the environment;
- •
- reduce our sales revenues if production is reduced to meet environmental regulations;
- •
- increase production costs and make our products relatively more expensive as compared to the hydrocarbon and refined products of our competitors; and
- •
- reduce our profitability through a combination of the above.
At December 31, 2001, our estimated and accrued environmental liabilities totaled Ps. 2,316 million. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—Environmental Regulation—Environmental Liabilities."
PEMEX publishes less financial information than U.S. companies are required to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
We prepare our financial statements according to Mexican GAAP, except as to the recognition of inflation, which is recognized in our financial statements according to the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards applicable to Mexican public sector companies. Mexican GAAP differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. See "Item 3—Key Information—Selected Financial Data" and Note 19 to the Financial Statements. In addition, we generally only prepare U.S. GAAP information on a yearly basis. As a result, there may be less or different publicly available information about us than there is about U.S. issuers.
Risk Factors Related to the Relationship between PEMEX and the Mexican Government
The Mexican Government controls PEMEX, and the Mexican Congress approves the annual budget and financing program of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities
Mexico is the sole owner of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities, and the Mexican Government closely regulates and supervises our operations. Mexican Government ministers control key executive decisions at Petróleos Mexicanos. The Secretary of Energy of Mexico is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos. TheSecretaría de la Contraloría y Desarrollo
91
Administrativo (the General Comptroller's Office of the Mexican Government, which we refer to as "SECODAM"), appoints the external auditors of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities.
The Mexican Government incorporates Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities' annual budget and financing program into its consolidated annual budget, which it submits to the Mexican Congress for its approval. The Mexican Congress also designates certain of our largest capital expenditures as long-term productive infrastructure projects (which we refer to as "PIDIREGAS"). See "Item 4—Information on the Company—History and Development—Capital Expenditures and Investments."
The Mexican Government has the power to intervene directly or indirectly in our commercial affairs. Such an intervention could have an adverse effect on us and thereby adversely affect our or our subsidiaries' ability to make payments under any securities issued or guaranteed by us. For instance, if the Mexican Government were to cause us to reduce production or limit future capital expenditures, this could reduce our ability to generate the necessary income to support payments on our debt, or to transfer the necessary funds between any of our subsidiaries to make payments on their debts.
The Mexican Government may privatize all or part of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities
The Mexican Government would have the power, if federal law and theConstitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos (the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States) were amended, to privatize all or a portion of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities or its assets. The Mexican Government could also transfer the activities of PEMEX to another Mexican Government-controlled entity if these changes were made. These types of actions could adversely affect our operations by affecting our workforce, causing an interruption in production that could decrease output and negatively affect our income from operations. In addition, the privatization could cause us to default on our obligations under certain of our indebtedness, including all of our publicly traded debt securities, which could entitle the holders of this indebtedness to declare it immediately due and payable. In this case, investors in debt securities would be entitled to recover their entire investment and their only loss would be that attributable to future interest income. See also "—Considerations Related to Mexico" below.
The Mexican Government has entered into agreements with other nations to limit production
Historically, member countries of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, commonly referred to as OPEC, have entered into agreements to reduce their production of crude oil. These agreements have sometimes increased global crude oil prices by decreasing the global supply of crude oil. Although Mexico is not a member of OPEC, it has entered into agreements with OPEC and non-OPEC countries to reduce global crude oil supply.
For example, following OPEC's announcement in January 2001 that it would reduce crude oil production by 1.5 million barrels per day, Mexico announced it would decrease its crude oil exports by 75 thousand barrels per day, beginning on February 1, 2001. Following a March 2001 announcement by OPEC of an additional 1.0 million barrel per day reduction in crude oil production, Mexico announced on March 25, 2001 that it would further reduce its crude oil exports by 40 thousand barrels per day, beginning on April 1, 2001. On January 2, 2002, following an OPEC announcement that it would reduce crude oil production by 1.5 million barrels per day, Mexico announced it would reduce its crude oil exports by 100 thousand barrels per day to 1.66 million barrels per day for six months, beginning on January 1, 2002. Most recently, following an OPEC announcement that it would maintain current crude oil production levels through fourth quarter 2002, Mexico affirmed that it would maintain its crude oil exports at their present levels for the same period.
We do not control the Mexican Government's international affairs and the Mexican Government could agree with OPEC or other countries to reduce our crude oil production or exports in the future.
92
To the extent that such international agreements restrict our exports of crude oil, it is possible that Mexican domestic markets will not be able to consume additional amounts of crude oil that we are not allowed to export as a result of such agreements, thus reducing our revenues.
PEMEX does not own the hydrocarbon reserves in Mexico
A guaranteed source of petroleum and other hydrocarbons is essential to an oil company's production and generation of income. As a result, many oil and gas companies own hydrocarbon reserves. The Political Constitution of the United Mexican States provides that the Mexican nation, not PEMEX, owns the petroleum and other hydrocarbon reserves located in Mexico. Although Mexican law gives Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities the exclusive right to exploit Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves, it does not preclude the Mexican Government from changing current law and assigning these rights to another company. If the Mexican Government, by way of an amendment to theLey Reglamentaria del Artículo 27 Constitucional en el Ramo del Petróleo (Regulatory Law to Article 27 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States Concerning Petroleum Affairs, which we refer to as the "Regulatory Law"), assigned the rights to exploit its hydrocarbon reserves to another company, our ability to generate income would be adversely affected.
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities pay special taxes, duties and dividends to the Mexican Government
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities pay a number of special taxes and duties to the Mexican Government. These taxes and duties totaled Ps. 208,137 million in 1999, Ps. 292,960 million in 2000 and Ps. 262,778 million in 2001. For 2002, we expect the sum of these taxes and duties to total approximately 60.8% of the revenue that we derive from sales to the PMI Group and third parties. In addition to these duties and taxes, the Mexican Government imposes an excess gains tax equal to 39.2% of the portion of Pemex-Exploration and Production's crude oil sales revenue in excess of a threshold price set by the Mexican Government, which in 2002 is U.S. $15.50 per barrel. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—Taxes and Duties" and "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—General—IEPS Tax, Excess Gains Duty, Hydrocarbon Duties and Other Taxes."
The Mexican Government and PEMEX determine the rates of taxes and duties applicable to PEMEX from year to year depending on a variety of factors, including our:
- •
- projected sales revenues;
- •
- operating program;
- •
- capital expenditures program; and
- •
- financing needs.
Petróleos Mexicanos is also obligated to pay minimum guaranteed dividends to the Mexican Government. The minimum guaranteed dividends totaled Ps. 5,138 million in 1999, Ps. 5,564 million in 2000 and Ps. 2,153 million in 2001. For further information on how the minimum guaranteed dividend is determined, see "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Equity Structure and the Certificates of Contribution 'A,"' "Item 8—Financial Information—Dividends" and Note 13 to the Financial Statements.
93
PEMEX must make significant capital expenditures to maintain its current production levels and increase Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves. Mexican Government budget cuts, reductions in PEMEX's income and inability to obtain financing may limit PEMEX's ability to make capital investments
We invest funds to increase the amount of extractable hydrocarbon reserves in Mexico. We also continually invest capital to enhance our hydrocarbon recovery ratio and improve the reliability and productivity of our infrastructure. We estimate that we will need to make capital expenditures of approximately U.S. $45.3 billion in exploration and production over the next five years and an additional U.S. $16.1 billion to upgrade our refineries over the next ten years, in order to increase production to meet anticipated growth in domestic and international market demand.
Our ability to make these capital expenditures is limited by the substantial taxes that we pay and cyclical decreases in our revenues primarily related to lower oil prices. In addition, budget cuts imposed by the Mexican Government and the availability of financing may also limit our ability to make capital investments. Because the non-PIDIREGAS portion of our investment budget is part of the Mexican Government's annual budget, when the Mexican Government reduces its annual budget, it may also reduce that portion of our investment budget. For example, in 1998, low crude oil prices reduced our income and the amount of taxes and duties that we paid to the Mexican Government. As a result, the Mexican Government imposed federal budget cuts that resulted in an 11.1% decrease in our capital expenditures budget (excluding PIDIREGAS) in 1998.
The Mexican Government has recently approved a PIDIREGAS investment budget that we believe will be sufficient to meet a large proportion of our capital expenditure needs for the next five years. However, under the PIDIREGAS program, we are required to obtain financing that can be supported by the project being funded. The availability of this financing is subject to factors beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that we will always have the funds necessary to continue capital investments at their current levels.
PEMEX's debt obligations may be affected by the Mexican Government's agreements with external creditors
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are decentralized public sector entities under the direct control of the Mexican Government; consequently, the Mexican Government's agreements with international creditors may affect our external debt obligations. Since 1982, Mexico and its commercial bank creditors have concluded four debt restructurings and new money exercises. In these restructurings, Petróleos Mexicanos' external indebtedness was treated on the same terms as the debt of the Mexican Government and other public sector entities. In addition, Mexico has entered into agreements with official bilateral creditors to reschedule public sector external debt. Mexico has not requested restructuring of bonds or debt owed to multilateral agencies.
PEMEX may claim some immunities under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are decentralized public entities of the Mexican Government. Because the Mexican Government is a foreign sovereign, you may not be able to obtain a judgment in a U.S. court against us. In addition, Mexican law specifies that attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution may not be ordered by Mexican courts against us or our assets and, as a result, your ability to enforce judgments against us in the courts of Mexico may be limited.
Unless we waive our immunity, you could obtain a U.S. court judgment against us only if a U.S. court were to determine that we are not entitled to sovereign immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 with respect to that action. We also do not know whether Mexican courts would enforce judgments of United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
94
Even if you were able to obtain a U.S. judgment against us under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, you might not be able to obtain a judgment in Mexico that is based on that U.S. judgment. Moreover, you may not be able to enforce a judgment against our property in the United States except under the limited circumstances specified in the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
Satisfaction of any judgment in Mexico against PEMEX may be made in pesos
If you were to bring an action in Mexico seeking to enforce our obligations under any of our securities, satisfaction of those obligations may be made in pesos. TheLey Monetaria de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos (Monetary Law of the United Mexican States) entitles us to discharge foreign currency denominated obligations in Mexico with a payment in pesos at the exchange rate determined by Banco de México (Mexico's Central Bank) on the date payment is made. This rate is currently announced by Banco de México each banking day and published the following day in theDiario Oficial de la Federación (the Official Gazette of the Federation).
Considerations Related to Mexico
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are foreign companies, and as a result holders of PEMEX securities may not be able to effect service of process on, or enforce a judgment against, PEMEX
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are organized under the laws of Mexico and all of its directors and officers, as well as some of the experts named in this annual report, reside outside the United States. Substantially all of our assets and those of most of our directors, officers and experts are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to effect service of process on our directors or officers or those experts within the United States. You also may not be able to enforce in Mexico judgments obtained in the United States against us, our directors or officers or the experts, if those judgments are not consistent with Mexican public policy and procedural rules.
Economic conditions and government policies in Mexico may have a material impact on PEMEX's operations
A deterioration in Mexico's economic conditions, social instability, political unrest or other adverse social developments in Mexico could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Those events could also lead to increased volatility in the foreign exchange and financial markets, thereby affecting our ability to obtain and service foreign debt. In addition, the Mexican Government may cut spending in the future. These cuts could adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
From 1982 to 1987 Mexico experienced several periods of slow or negative economic growth, high inflation, peso devaluations and limited availability of foreign exchange. Beginning in December 1994 and continuing through 1995, Mexico experienced an economic crisis characterized by exchange rate instability, devaluation of the peso, high inflation, high domestic interest rates, negative economic growth, reduced consumer purchasing power and high unemployment. Despite signs of economic recovery following the implementation of broad economic reforms in 1995, a combination of factors led to a slowdown in Mexico's economic growth in 1998. Notably, the decline in the price of crude oil resulted in a reduction of federal revenues, approximately one-third of which derive from petroleum taxes and duties. In addition, the economic crises in Asia and Russia and the financial turmoil in Brazil, Venezuela and elsewhere produced greater volatility in the international financial markets, which further slowed Mexico's recovery. The Mexican Government estimates that real Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") grew 4.9% in 1998, 3.7% in 1999 and 6.6% in 2000 but decreased 0.3% in 2001. The Mexican Government estimates that GDP growth for 2002 will be approximately 1.7%.
Despite the slowdown in economic recovery and the significant devaluation of the peso in 1998 and the contraction in 2001, Mexico has managed to maintain a high level of gross international reserves, which totaled U.S. $45,312 million at November 8, 2002. In the future, however, the Mexican
95
economy could continue to suffer from declines in foreign direct and portfolio investment due to international financial crises, inflationary pressures, high short-term interest rates and low oil prices.
Changes in exchange rates or in Mexico's exchange control laws may hamper the ability of PEMEX to service its foreign currency debt
While the Mexican Government does not currently restrict the ability of Mexican companies or individuals to convert pesos into dollars or other currencies, in the future, the Mexican Government could impose a restrictive exchange control policy, as it has done in the past. We cannot assure you that the Mexican Government will maintain its current policies with regard to the peso or that the peso's value will not fluctuate significantly in the future. The peso has been subject to significant devaluations against the U.S. dollar in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. Mexican Government policies affecting the value of the peso could prevent us from paying our foreign currency obligations.
As of December 31, 2001, the total debt of PEMEX totaled Ps. 159.4 billion (or Ps. 156.8 billion excluding accrued interest), 84.2% of which was denominated in U.S. dollars. Of this amount, U.S. $7.5 billion (or Ps. 68.7 billion) was attributable to the indebtedness of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros and other currencies and guaranteed by Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals. In addition, Pemex Finance, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company with limited liability established to issue securities backed by PMI crude oil receivables to provide financing for investments in PIDIREGAS, had indebtedness totaling U.S. $5.3 billion at December 31, 2001. We do not guarantee Pemex Finance, Ltd.'s indebtedness. In the future, PEMEX and Pemex Finance, Ltd. may incur additional indebtedness denominated in U.S. dollars or other currencies. Declines in the value of the peso relative to the U.S. dollar or other currencies may increase our interest costs in pesos and result in foreign exchange losses.
From October 1992 to December 21, 1994, Banco de México intervened in foreign exchange markets to maintain the peso-dollar exchange rate within a government-controlled range that widened daily. On December 21, 1994, the Mexican Government suspended Banco de México's foreign exchange market operations and allowed the peso to float freely against the U.S. dollar. The Mexican Government may introduce similar policies in the future that affect the exchange rate between the peso and other currencies.
For a further discussion of historical peso/U.S. dollar exchange rates, see "—Exchange Rates" above.
Political conditions in Mexico could materially and adversely affect Mexican economic policy and, in turn, PEMEX's operations
The national elections held on July 2, 2000 ended 71 years of rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party ("PRI") with the election of President Vicente Fox Quesada, a member of the National Action Party ("PAN") and resulted in the increased representation of opposition parties in the Mexican Congress and in mayoral and gubernatorial positions. Neither the PRI nor the PAN currently has a majority in the Congress or Senate. This shift in political power has transformed Mexico from a one-party state to a pluralist democracy. Although there have not yet been any material adverse repercussions resulting from this political change, multiparty rule is still relatively new in Mexico and could result in economic or political conditions that could materially and adversely affect our operations. The lack of a majority party in the legislature and the lack of alignment between the legislature and the President could result in deadlock and prevent the timely implementation of economic reforms, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Mexican economy and on our business.
96
Item 4. Information on the Company
We are the largest company in Mexico, and according toPetroleum Intelligence Weekly, we were the sixth largest oil and gas company in the world in 2000, accounting for nearly 5% of the world's crude oil and condensates production in 2000. In 1938, the President of Mexico nationalized foreign-owned oil companies which were then operating in Mexico and the Mexican Congress established Petróleos Mexicanos by a decree, effective on July 20, 1938. Since 1938, Mexican federal laws and regulations have entrusted Petróleos Mexicanos with the central planning and management of Mexico's petroleum industry. On July 17, 1992, the Mexican Congress created the subsidiary entities out of operations that had previously been directly managed by Petróleos Mexicanos. Petróleos Mexicanos and its four subsidiary entities, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals and Pemex-Petrochemicals, are decentralized public entities of the Mexican Government, and each is a legal entity empowered to own property and carry on business in its own name.
PEMEX's executive offices are located at Avenida Marina Nacional No. 329, Colonia Huasteca, Mexico, D.F. 11311, Mexico. PEMEX's telephone number is (52-55) 5722-2500.
Organizational Laws
The activities of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are regulated primarily by:
- •
- the Regulatory Law; and
- •
- theLey Orgánica de Petróleos Mexicanos y Organismos Subsidiarios (the Organic Law of Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities, which we refer to as the "Organic Law").
The Organic Law and related regulations grant Petróleos Mexicanos and certain of the subsidiary entities the exclusive right to:
- •
- explore, exploit, refine, transport, store, distribute and sell (first-hand) crude oil;
- •
- explore, exploit, produce and sell (first-hand) natural gas and transport and store natural gas, to the extent the transportation and storage activities are inextricably linked with such exploitation and production; and
- •
- produce, store, transport, distribute and sell (first-hand) the derivatives of petroleum (including petroleum products) and natural gas used as basic industrial raw materials that constitute basic petrochemicals, which include ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes, hexanes, heptanes, naphthas, carbon black feedstocks and methane, but in the case of methane, only if obtained from hydrocarbons used as basic raw materials by the petrochemical industry and obtained from deposits located in Mexico.
The Organic Law allocates the operating functions of Petróleos Mexicanos among the four subsidiary entities, each of which has the characteristics of a subsidiary of Petróleos Mexicanos. The principal objectives of the subsidiary entities are as follows:
- •
- Pemex-Exploration and Production explores for and exploits crude oil and natural gas and transports, stores and markets these hydrocarbons;
- •
- Pemex-Refining refines petroleum products and derivatives that may be used as basic industrial raw materials and stores, transports, distributes and markets these products and derivatives;
- •
- Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals processes natural gas, natural gas liquids and derivatives that may be used as basic industrial raw materials and stores, transports, distributes and markets
97
- •
- Pemex-Petrochemicals engages in industrial petrochemical processes and stores, distributes and markets petrochemicals other than basic petrochemicals.
these products and produces, stores, transports, distributes and markets basic petrochemicals; and
In 1995, the Mexican Congress amended the Regulatory Law to allow private and social sector companies, which include labor-controlled organizations and industries, to participate, with the Mexican Government's approval, in the storage, distribution and transportation of natural gas. The new regulation allows these types of companies to construct, own and operate pipelines, installations and equipment. Since 1997, the Mexican Government has required PEMEX to divest its existing natural gas distribution assets but has allowed PEMEX to retain exclusive authority over the exploration, exploitation, production and first-hand sale of natural gas, as well as the transportation and storage inextricably linked with this type of exploitation and production. See "—Gas and Basic Petrochemicals—Private Sector Participation in Natural Gas Distribution" below.
Capital Expenditures and Investments
PEMEX funds its annual budget (not including PIDIREGAS) through revenue generated by its operations and financing activities. Capital expenditures are undertaken by Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities. Capital expenditures and operating expenses must be authorized in our annual budget, which is approved by the Mexican Congress. PIDIREGAS are off-balance sheet long-term productive infrastructure projects funded through financing activities of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust or directly by a contractor and must also be authorized in a budget approved by the Mexican Congress. Thus, each year, we submit proposals to and negotiate with the Mexican Government regarding how our after-tax funds should be allocated.
PIDIREGAS. An important component of our capital expenditures are PIDIREGAS. Because of federal budgetary constraints, the Mexican Government has sought private sector participation in the building and financing of PIDIREGAS. The Mexican Government approves the designation of certain infrastructure projects as PIDIREGAS. This designation means that such projects are treated as off-balance sheet items for annual budgetary purposes, until delivery of the completed project to us or until our payment obligations begin under the contract.
TheLey General de Deuda Pública (General Law of Public Debt) and theLey de Presupuesto, Contabilidad y Gasto Público Federal (Federal Law of Budget, Accounting and Public Expenditure) define the PIDIREGAS legal framework. Article 18 of the General Law of Public Debt outlines the treatment of financial obligations under PIDIREGAS, defining as a direct liability the amounts payable under a financing during the current and immediately following fiscal years, and the remaining amounts as a contingent liability until its full payment. Article 30 of the Federal Law of Budget, Accounting and Public Expenditure grants PIDIREGAS preferential and priority treatment for inclusion in the Mexican Government's budget in future years, until the full payment of a project's costs.
PIDIREGAS have three stages:
- •
- The Mexican Government identifies a project as a PIDIREGAS and authorizes expenditures related to their development by the private sector;
- •
- Private sector companies, in cooperation with PEMEX, build and deliver the project to PEMEX; and
- •
- PEMEX, with the Mexican Government's authorization, pays all amounts owing to contractors and makes final payments to receive delivery of the completed project and then records as a liability the full principal amount of all indebtedness incurred to finance the project.
98
Compliance with the Mexican Government's Financial Reporting Standards and the Guidelines for the Accounting Treatment of Investments in Long-Term Productive Infrastructure Projects (Technical Release NIF-09), which outlines the accounting and budgetary treatment applicable to PIDIREGAS, is mandatory during the construction period and after delivery of the PIDIREGAS. The distinction between the PIDIREGAS and non-PIDIREGAS expenditures is an important one for budgetary purposes, as a project's designation as a PIDIREGAS guarantees that its financing is immune from across-the-board budget cuts.
In recent years, PIDIREGAS have represented a significant portion of our total annual capital expenditures. PIDIREGAS expenditures alone totaled Ps. 36.6 billion in 2001 (53% of our total capital expenditures), Ps. 42.4 billion in 2000 (57% of our total capital expenditures) and Ps. 27.3 billion in 1999 (52% of our total capital expenditures). For 2002, PEMEX has budgeted approximately Ps. 104.4 billion for PIDIREGAS expenditures (or approximately 70% of our total budgeted capital expenditures), including payment of 100% of the Madero, Salamanca and Tula projects. While PIDIREGAS expenditures are considered off-balance sheet items under Mexican Financial Reporting Standards applicable to Mexican public sector entities, all of these expenditures are included in our Mexican GAAP financial statements.
The following table sets forth our capital expenditures for PIDIREGAS for the five years ended December 31, 2001 and the budget for such expenditures for 2002.

Non-PIDIREGAS Capital Expenditures. In addition to the Ps. 36.6 billion spent on PIDIREGAS in 2001, we spent Ps. 32.5 billion in 2001 for other capital expenditures, which represents a 3% increase from the Ps. 31.6 billion in non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures in 2000. Of the Ps. 32.5 billion in non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures during 2001, we directed Ps. 21.4 billion (or 66% of total non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures) to exploration and production programs. Of the Ps. 31.6 billion in non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures in 2000 and the Ps. 25.5 billion in non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures in 1999, we directed Ps. 19.4 billion (or 61% of total non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures) in 2000 and Ps. 14.6 billion (or 57% of total non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures) in 1999 to exploration and production programs.
Excluding PIDIREGAS expenditures, we have budgeted a total of Ps. 44.8 billion for capital expenditures in 2002. Of this amount, we expect to direct Ps. 27.5 billion (or 61% of total non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures) to exploration and production programs in 2002.
Our capital expenditures (excluding PIDIREGAS) for the five years ended December 31, 2001 and budgeted for 2002 and 2003 were distributed and budgeted among the subsidiary entities as follows:

Our principal objectives for upstream investment are to increase and improve the quality of Mexico's reserves, enhance Pemex-Exploration and Production's recovery ratio and improve the reliability of its production and transportation infrastructure for crude oil and natural gas operations. In 2002, Pemex-Exploration and Production plans to continue its Strategic Gas Program to increase the supply of natural gas for the domestic market in the medium to long term. The 23 new PIDIREGAS primarily focus on the production of Isthmus and Olmeca crude oil, in order to improve the quality of the Mexican mixture of crude oil processed in our refineries and available for export.
Our downstream investment program seeks to improve the quality of our product selection, to achieve a level of efficiency similar to that of our international competitors and to continue to emphasize industrial safety and environmental compliance.

Overview by Business Segment
Exploration and Production
Pemex-Exploration and Production explores for and produces crude oil and natural gas, primarily in the northeastern and southeastern regions of Mexico and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Measured in U.S. dollars, we increased our capital investment in exploration and production activities by 14% in 2001 by financing an array of programs to expand production capacity and efficiency. As a result of our investments in previous years, our total hydrocarbon production reached a level of approximately 4.1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2001. Pemex-Exploration and Production's crude oil production increased by 3.8% from 2000 to 2001, averaging 3,127 thousand barrels per day in 2001. Pemex-Exploration and Production's natural gas production (excluding natural gas liquids) decreased by 3.6% from 2000 to 2001, averaging 4,511 million cubic feet per day in 2001.
Refining
Pemex-Refining converts crude oil into gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, fuel oil, asphalts and lubricants. It also distributes and markets most of these products throughout Mexico, where it experiences a significant demand for its refined products. Pemex-Refining's atmospheric distillation refining capacity remained constant from 2000 to 2001 at approximately 1,560 thousand barrels per day. In 2001, Pemex-Refining produced 1,267 thousand barrels per day of refined products as compared to 1,246 thousand barrels per day of refined products in 2000.
Gas and Basic Petrochemicals
Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals processes natural gas and natural gas liquids, transports, distributes and sells natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas throughout Mexico and produces and sells several basic petrochemical feedstocks. Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals' total sour natural gas processing capacity increased from 3,753 million cubic feet per day in 2000 to 3,923 million cubic feet per day in 2001. Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals processed 3,179 million cubic feet per day of sour natural gas in 2001, a 0.41% increase from the 3,166 million cubic feet per day of sour natural gas produced in 2000. It produced 443 thousand barrels per day of natural gas liquids in 2001, a 0.45% decrease from 2000 natural gas liquid production of 445 thousand barrels per day.
Petrochemicals
Pemex-Petrochemicals manufactures 39 different petrochemical products, including: (1) methane and its derivatives such as ammonia and methanol; (2) ethane and its derivatives, such as polyethylenes, as well as other olefins; (3) aromatics and their derivatives; (4) propylene and its derivatives; and (5) oxygen, nitrogen and other products. Pemex-Petrochemicals' total annual production (excluding ethane and butane gases) decreased by 12.3% in 2001, from 6,836 thousand tons in 2000 to 5,994 thousand tons in 2001.
International Trading
In 2001, we sold 1,755 thousand barrels per day of crude oil through our subsidiary, P.M.I. Comercio Internacional, S.A. de C.V. ("PMI"). PEMEX is a major supplier of crude oil to the United States. PMI, P.M.I. Trading Ltd. ("PMI Trading") and their affiliates (together, the "PMI Group") provide PEMEX and a number of independent customers with international trading, distribution and related services. PMI and PMI Trading sell, buy and transport crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals in world markets. The PMI Group also provides related risk management, insurance, transportation and storage services to PEMEX. The PMI Group has offices in Mexico City, Houston
104
and London. The PMI Group's trading volume of sales and imports totaled U.S. $17,161 million in 2001, including U.S. $11,896 million in crude oil sales.
Exploration and Production
Reserves
Under the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States and the Regulatory Law, all oil and other hydrocarbon reserves within Mexico are owned by the Mexican nation and not by PEMEX. Under the Organic Law, Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities, except for Pemex-Petrochemicals, have the exclusive right to produce, not own, these reserves, and sell the production. The exploration and development activities of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are limited to reserves located in Mexico.
Proved oil and natural gas reserves are those estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions—i.e., prices and costs at the date of estimation. Mexico's proved reserves are estimated by Pemex-Exploration and Production's technical staff.
105
Pemex-Exploration and Production estimates Mexico's reserves using standard geological and engineering methods generally accepted by the petroleum industry. The choice of method or combinations of methods employed in the analysis of each reservoir is determined by:
- •
- experience in the area;
- •
- stage of development;
- •
- quality and completeness of basic data; and
- •
- production and pressure histories.
The reserves data set forth herein represent only estimates. Reserves valuation is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, estimates of different engineers may vary. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify revision of an estimate.
Mexico's total proved developed and undeveloped reserves of crude oil and condensates decreased by 6.2% in 2000, from 21.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent at December 31, 1999 to 20.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent at December 31, 2000, and decreased by 7.0% in 2001, from 20.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent at December 31, 2000 to 18.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent at December 31, 2001. Mexico's dry gas reserves decreased by 6.0% in 2000, from 18.5 trillion cubic feet at December 31, 1999 to 17.4 trillion cubic feet at December 31, 2000, and decreased by 6.4%, from 17.4 trillion cubic feet at December 31, 2000 to 16.3 trillion cubic feet at December 31, 2001.
The following two tables of crude oil and dry gas reserves set forth our estimates of Mexico's proved reserves determined in accordance with Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933.

Exploration and Drilling
We seek to identify new oil reservoirs through our exploration program in order to maintain an adequate level of reserves. From 1990 through 2001, we completed 2,039 exploration and development wells. During 2001, the average success rate for exploration wells was 53%, and the average success rate for development wells was 91%. From 1997 to 2001, we discovered five new crude oil fields and 27 new natural gas fields, bringing the total number of our crude oil and natural gas fields in production to 301 at the end of 2001.
While most of our offshore production in the Gulf of Mexico occurs in waters less than 100 meters deep, the 2001 exploration program included exploration of regions located in deeper waters. Our most productive crude oil and natural gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico are in the Cantarell complex, Ku-Maloob-Zaap in the Northeast Marine region and Caan, Abkatun and Chuc in the Southwest Marine region. The Cantarell complex, for example, produced 1,673 thousand barrels per day of crude oil in 2001, or 53.5% of our total 2001 crude oil production, and 610 million cubic feet per day of natural gas in 2001, or 13.5% of our total 2001 natural gas production.
The following table summarizes our drilling activity for the five years ended December 31, 2001.

Lifting costs increased by 12.5% from 2000 to 2001 as a result of an increase in the price of gas for pneumatic pumping, an increase in maintenance expenses and an increase in purchases of nitrogen.
New Discoveries
During the year 2001, we discovered new sources of crude oil and natural gas reserves in the Southwestern Marine region and the Burgos fields of Northern Mexico. The new discoveries yielded a total of 20.8 million barrels of crude oil equivalent reserves.
In the Southwestern Marine region, drilling of the Kopó 1 well led to the addition of 21.2 billion cubic feet of proved natural gas reserves, and the drilling of wells in Burgos led to the addition of 69.0 billion cubic feet of proved natural gas reserves. The main discoveries in the Arabe, Kripton and Sigma fields in Burgos during 2001 account for 31.9 billion cubic feet of proved natural gas reserves. In addition, new discoveries in Veracruz led to an addition of 13.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
Investment in Exploration and Production
In 2001, we invested Ps. 57,302 million in exploration and production, as compared to Ps. 46,626 million in 2000, representing a 22.9% increase in investment in exploration and production. An important component of our investment budget consists of projects financed under the Mexican Government's program for PIDIREGAS. In 2001, Pemex-Exploration and Production's PIDIREGAS investments totaled approximately Ps. 35,945 million, consisting of Ps. 25,867 million in investments in the Cantarell fields, Ps. 7,018 million for development of the Burgos natural gas fields, Ps. 1,466 million in the Delta del Grijalva project and Ps. 1,594 million in the Strategic Gas Program. These PIDIREGAS are described below.
Cantarell. Pemex-Exploration and Production invested Ps. 18,337 million in 1999, Ps. 20,210 million in 2000, and Ps. 25,867 million in 2001 in the development of the Cantarell reservoirs in the Marine region. For 2002, we have budgeted Ps. 30,709 million for Cantarell investments. By the end of 2002, we expect our investments in the Cantarell project to total approximately U.S. $11.6 billion.
On October 10, 1997, we awarded a build-own-operate contract for a nitrogen cryogenic plant at the Cantarell oil and natural gas field to a consortium formed by BOC Holdings, Linde, Marubeni, West Coast Energy and ICA Fluor Daniel. Under this contract, the consortium is responsible for the financing, design, construction and operation of the plant. The plant will cost an estimated Ps. 10,131 million. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the consortium has legal ownership of the plant, and Pemex-Exploration and Production has committed to buy from the consortium 1.2 billion cubic feet per day of nitrogen for a period of 15 years. The plant began operations in 2000, and is not yet working at full capacity. During 2001, Pemex-Exploration and Production paid approximately U.S.
110
$186 million under this contract for a total volume of approximately 390.8 billion cubic feet of nitrogen. As of June 2002, the amount of the nitrogen to be supplied during the remaining life of the agreement amounted to approximately 1,200 million cubic feet per day. We expect this project to increase our crude oil recovery rates by injecting nitrogen into the Cantarell reservoirs, which should help maintain pressure during crude oil extraction. By maintaining favorable crude oil recovery rates at Cantarell, we expect that the injection program will yield long-term benefits, including an increase in exploitable hydrocarbon reserves at Cantarell. In the event that the agreement is rescinded due to a cause imputed to us, we will be obligated under the agreement to purchase the nitrogen production plant, the estimated value of which is approximately Ps. 8,310 million.
Burgos. In 1997, Pemex-Exploration and Production initiated a 15-year, U.S. $5.7 billion project to develop the Burgos natural gas fields in Northern Mexico, which accounted for 11% of our total natural gas production in 1997. We expect that the Burgos project will better enable us to meet increasing domestic demand for natural gas and thereby reduce our imports of natural gas in the future. Three major turn-key contracts have been awarded to Dowell-Schlumberger México (worth U.S. $108 million), Industrial Perforadora de Campeche (worth U.S. $96.4 million) and Halliburton International Inc. (worth U.S. $71 million) for this project. Exploratory activities and field reentrance and maintenance activities in the Burgos region increased estimated reserves by 66.8 million barrels of oil equivalent in 1998 and decreased estimated reserves by 24.4 million barrels of oil equivalent in 1999. We invested Ps. 7,307 million in 1999, Ps. 5,596 million in 2000 and Ps. 7,018 million in 2001 in the Burgos project. For 2002, we anticipate that our investments in this project will amount to Ps. 12,500 million and that our total accumulated investments will reach approximately U.S. $4.1 billion.
Delta del Grijalva. In 1998, Pemex-Exploration and Production initiated a 15-year, U.S. $600 million investment project named Delta del Grijalva, which represents the continuation of development and optimization of a group of fields in the state of Tabasco in southeastern Mexico. These fields produce Olmeca light crude oil, which is the highest value crude oil that PMI sells in international markets on behalf of PEMEX. We invested Ps. 982 million in 1999, Ps. 1,431 million in 2000 and Ps. 1,466 million in 2001 in the Delta del Grijalva project. In 2002, we expect to invest Ps. 1,469 million in this project, bringing our total investment in Delta del Grijalva to U.S. $642 million.
Strategic Gas Program. In 2001, Pemex-Exploration and Production initiated a nine-year, U.S. $8,105 million investment project named the Strategic Gas Program. The purpose of the program is to increase the supply of natural gas and develop a reserve that would satisfy the domestic demand for natural gas, thereby reducing future reliance on imports. Field development and optimization of production will represent 39% of investments, with the goal of increasing the production of natural gas to 883 million cubic feet per day by 2007. Exploration activities will represent 49% of investments with the goal of increasing proved reserves in the nineteen different natural gas projects by 2,412 million barrels per year of oil equivalent, from current levels. Finally, development of newly discovered fields will represent 12% of the investment amount. In 2001, total investment for the program was U.S. $283 million and average production was 19 million cubic feet per day of natural gas.
Non-PIDIREGAS Investments. In addition to PIDIREGAS investments, Pemex-Exploration and Production invested Ps. 21,357 million in 2001, of which 81% was invested in general operating improvements and 19% was invested in strategic projects. Our investments in strategic projects consisted of Ps. 1,385 million in oil and gas exploration and Ps. 2,764 million in general field development and facilities.
2002 Exploration and Production Investment Budget. For 2002, Pemex-Exploration and Production anticipates investing Ps. 27,512 million, excluding PIDIREGAS expenditures. Approximately 9% of this amount is to be allocated to investments in projects relating to field development, pipelines and exploration activities, including the continuation of certain projects that began during the period from 1997 to 2001. The remaining 91% will be allocated to operating projects as well as to projects relating
111
to maintenance facilities, industrial safety and environmental matters. In addition to these non-PIDIREGAS investments, the 2002 budget includes 23 new PIDIREGAS strategic exploration and production projects for a total PIDIREGAS budget for 2002 of approximately Ps. 82,234 million. This amount includes Ps. 30,709 million for Cantarell, Ps. 12,500 million for Burgos, Ps. 16,569 million for the Strategic Gas Program, Ps. 1,469 million for Delta del Grijalva and Ps. 20,987 million for the 23 new PIDIREGAS.
Multiple Services Contracts
In December 2001, we announced our Multiple Services Contracts program to provide financing for the development and exploitation of certain hydrocarbon reserves. The goal of the program is to increase the supply of natural gas in Mexico through a transparent process that permits contracts under the program to be executed quickly. Under this program, we will, in consultation with private sector companies, develop a generic model services contract and solicit bids from a variety of contractors for the performance of various high-technology services including seismic reservoir characterization, implementation of new well logging technology and other high-technology methods of enhancing well performance and analysis. We published the generic model services contract in June 2002 and expect to begin to solicit bids in the first half of 2003.
Crude Oil Production
In 2001, we produced an average of 3,127 thousand barrels per day of crude oil, 3.8% greater than our average daily production in 2000. The increase was mainly due to an increase in production of crude oil by the Cantarell project of 261 thousand barrels per day (or 18% greater than its average daily production for 2000), which was only partially offset by a decrease in production of light crude oil in other regions.
Crude oil can be classified by sulphur content. "Sour" crudes contain 3.4% or greater sulphur content by weight and "sweet" crudes contain less than 1.0% sulphur content by weight. Most of our production is classified as sour crudes.
Pemex-Exploration and Production produces four types of crude oil:
- •
- Altamira, a heavy crude oil;
- •
- Maya, a heavy crude oil;
- •
- Isthmus, a light crude oil; and
- •
- Olmeca, a very light crude oil.
Most of Pemex-Exploration and Production's production consists of Isthmus and Maya crude oil. In 2001, 63.9% of Pemex-Exploration and Production's total production of crude oil consisted of heavy crudes and 36.1% consisted of light and very light crudes. The Marine region yields mostly heavy crude oil (62.5% of overall production), although significant volumes of light crude oil are also produced (18.7% of overall production). The Southern region yields mainly light and very light crudes (together, 16.3% of overall production), whereas the Northern region yields mostly heavy crude oil (together, 2.5% of overall production).

At the end of 2001, this pipeline network consisted of approximately 28,285 kilometers of pipe, of which 2,537 kilometers were located in the Marine region, 12,085 kilometers were located in the Southern region and 13,663 kilometers were located in the Northern region. For a description of products transported by the pipeline network, see "—Transportation and Distribution" below.
Crude Oil Sales
During 2001, domestic consumption of crude oil amounted to approximately 1,349 thousand barrels per day, which represented 43% of our total crude oil production. Through PMI's activities, we sold the remainder of our crude oil production abroad. See "—International Trading" below. Maya crude oil accounted for 76% of exported crude oil volume sold by PMI in 2001, but only 29% of domestic consumption.

Because of its higher sulphur content, Maya crude oil requires extra processing and has lower refining yields than do more valuable sweet crudes, and thus requires extra investment by the purchaser to refine. Because of this, we receive a lower price for Maya crude oil than we do for sweeter crude oils that cost less to refine. In addition, because of this price difference, we must continue to support the export value of sour crude oil such as Maya crude oil in relation to other grades of crude oil by creating incentives for refiners to invest in high-conversion refineries capable of upgrading the relatively large proportion of residue produced from processing sour crude oil in less efficient refining complex configurations. We may do this by entering into long-term Maya crude oil supply agreements pursuant to which purchasers agree to undertake projects to expand the capacity of their respective refineries to upgrade residue from Maya crude oil.
Refining
Refining Processes and Capacity
Pemex-Refining's production processes include the following:
- •
- Atmospheric distillation. This process heats crude oil in a tube furnace at atmospheric pressure to distill refined products. The primary products produced are gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel, atmospheric gas oil and atmospheric reduced crude oil.
- •
- Vacuum distillation. This process heats crude oil or other feedstock in a vacuum distillation column, which is operated at low pressures. The objective of this process is to maximize production of heavy vacuum gas oil, which is produced by boiling crude oil.
- •
- Cracking. This process uses either heat and pressure or a catalytic agent to increase gasoline yields from crude oil.
- •
- Visbreaking. This is a thermal cracking process, which uses a horizontal-tube heater fired to a high temperature. Visbreaking reduces flasher bottom viscosity and produces some heavy gas oil.
117
- •
- Reforming processes. These processes use heat and catalysts to transform smaller or unstable hydrocarbon molecules into larger, more useful refining or blending products. For example, Pemex-Refining uses reforming processes to convert low-octane gasoline into higher-octane stocks that are suitable for blending into finished gasoline and to convert naphthas into more volatile, higher-octane products.
- •
- Hydrotreatment or resid hydrocracking. This process uses a catalyst and hydrogen at high temperature and pressure to remove sulphur, nitrogen and some aromatic compounds. Hydrotreatment also processes some lighter liquid product off-take.
- •
- Alkylation and isomerization. This polymerization process unites olefins and isoparaffins. Butylenes and isobutanes are combined with sulphuric acid or hydrofluoric acid to rearrange straight-chain hydrocarbon molecules into branched-chain products. Pentanes and hexanes, which are difficult to reform, are isomerized through the use of aluminum chloride and other precious-metal catalysts. Normal butane may be isomerized to provide a portion of the isobutane feed needed for the alkylation process. The process produces a high octane, low sensitivity blending agent for gasoline.
- •
- Natural gas liquid fractionation. These processing methods heat natural gas liquids in a fractionating tower, which is a tall cylindrical refining vessel. The heating first drives off light ends and gases, followed by progressively heavier molecular fractions or cuts. Cooling processes then condense those fractions or cuts. As of 1998, Pemex-Refining no longer uses this production process.
These production processes together constitute Pemex-Refining's production capacity as set forth in the table below.

At the end of 2001, Pemex-Refining owned and operated six refineries, Cadereyta, Madero, Minatitlán, Salamanca, Salina Cruz and Tula, and one topping unit located in the petrochemical complex of La Cangrejera. Our refineries are comprised of atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, where the bulk of crude oil input is processed. Secondary processing facilities include desulphurization units and facilities for catalytic cracking, reforming and hydrotreating. During 2001, our refineries processed 1,252 thousand barrels per day of crude oil (200 thousand barrels at Cadereyta, 106 thousand barrels at Madero, 177 thousand barrels at Minatitlán, 186 thousand barrels at Salamanca,
118
293 thousand barrels at Salina Cruz and 290 thousand barrels at Tula), which consisted of 829 thousand barrels per day of Olmeca and Isthmus crude oil and 423 thousand barrels per day of Maya crude oil.
Since 1993, through our subsidiary company, P.M.I. Norteamérica, S.A. de C.V., we have participated in a limited partnership with Shell Oil Company in a refinery located in Deer Park, Texas. Under the Deer Park Limited Partnership agreement, P.M.I. Norteamérica, S.A. de C.V. and Shell Oil Company each provides 50% of the refinery's crude oil input and owns 50% of the refinery's output. The partnership completed a substantial upgrading program in mid-1995 to enable it to process Maya crude oil. PEMEX and Shell Oil Company completed an expansion project at the Deer Park Refinery in April 2001 thereby increasing the capacity of the refinery by 60 thousand barrels per day to 340 thousand barrels per day. The expansion project includes an expansion of the refinery's existing coking unit, a new sulphur plant and upgrades to the crude distillation, distillates hydrotreating and hydrocracking units.
Production
Pemex-Refining produces a wide range of products derived from crude oil and natural gas, including liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, fuel oil, asphalts, lubricants and other refined oil and natural gas products. Pemex-Refining produced 1,267 thousand barrels per day of refined products (including dry gas by-products of the refining process) in 2001, an increase of 1.7% from 2000 levels.

Fuel oil, automotive gasoline and diesels represented the bulk of Pemex-Refining's production. In 2001, fuel oil represented 34%, gasoline represented 31% and diesels represented 22% of total refined product production. Jet fuel represented 4% and liquefied petroleum gas represented 2% of total production of refined products in 2001. The remainder of Pemex-Refining's production consisted of a variety of other refined products.
As a result of our strategy of investing in technology to improve the quality of our fuels, over the past few years Pemex-Refining has increased its production of unleaded gasoline (including Pemex Premium) in relation to leaded gasoline. The share of unleaded gasoline as a percentage of our total
120
automotive gasoline production has increased from 73% in 1997 to 100% since 1998. We also introduced new environmentally sound products such as Pemex Diesel, with 0.05% sulphur content. The share of Pemex Diesel as a percentage of total diesel produced by Pemex-Refining has increased from 88% in 1997 to 95% in 2001. We have also promoted liquefied petroleum gas as an environmentally sound substitute fuel for gasoline in motor vehicles.
Domestic Sales
We market a full range of refined products, including gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, fuel oil and petrochemicals. We are one of a few major producers of crude oil worldwide that experiences significant domestic demand for our refined products.
Over the five years ended December 31, 2001, the value of Pemex-Refining's domestic sales of refined products was as follows:

The largest consumers of fuels in Mexico are the Federal Electricity Commission and our subsidiary entities. The Federal Electricity Commission consumed approximately 80% of our fuel oil production during 2001 pursuant to a fuel oil supply contract entered into in November 1995 under which we agreed to supply a minimum of 270,000 barrels of fuel oil per day to the Federal Electricity Commission. The price per cubic meter of the fuel oil supplied to the Federal Electricity Commission is based on the three-month average spot price per cubic meter of Fuel Oil No. 6 (3% sulphur) at Houston, Texas, as quoted in Platt's U.S. Marketscan and adjusted for quality and transportation cost differentials. In addition, the price of the fuel oil is discounted by a commercial margin on each cubic meter of fuel oil. In 2001, this volume discount amounted to approximately 2.5% of total fuel oil sales to the Federal Electricity Commission. The contract can be terminated by either party upon six months' notice. The total amount paid to us by the Federal Electricity Commission under this contract in 2001 was Ps. 22,286 million and represented 4.9% of our total consolidated sales revenues.
The value of our domestic sales of refined oil products decreased by 9.4% (or Ps. 14,706.8 million) in 2001 from 2000 levels, primarily due to the decrease in international prices of refined products by 8% over the year. In particular, the price of automotive gasoline fell 7.3%, the price of diesel gas fell by 7.6% and the price of fuel oil fell by 14% during 2001.
The volume of our domestic gasoline sales in 2001 increased by 3.6% from 2000 levels, from 532.7 thousand barrels per day in 2000 to 551.8 thousand barrels per day in 2001. By the end of 1997, we stopped selling Nova low-octane leaded gasoline in Mexico. The volume of our domestic diesel sales decreased by 3.1%, from 284.7 thousand barrels per day in 2000 to 275.8 thousand barrels per day in 2001, due to a decrease in industrial demand as a result of a reduction in Mexico's industrial activity. In addition, the volume of our domestic sales of fuel oil decreased by 3.6%, from 492.4 thousand barrels per day to 474.9 thousand barrels per day, primarily due to a decrease in demand from the Federal Electricity Commission and a decrease in industrial demand as a result of a decrease in Mexico's industrial production.

At the retail level, we now offer standard and premium grades of unleaded gasoline throughout the country. Our efforts to build and enhance our brands have also progressed during 2000 and 2001. More than 99% of Mexico's independent gasoline service stations now participate in our franchise program, which provides financial assistance to upgrade equipment and facilities and technical assistance in the development of marketing and customer service programs. At the end of 2001, there were 5,139 retail service stations in Mexico, of which 5,113 were privately owned and operated as franchises.

Investments
Over the last six years, Pemex-Refining has focused its investment program on enhancing the quality of gasoline and diesel to meet new environmental standards in Mexico, improving its ability to process heavy crudes in order to optimize the crude oil blend in the refineries and increasing the production of unleaded gasoline and diesel to supply growing demand at low cost, as opposed to increasing its overall crude oil processing capacity. In the medium-term, Pemex-Refining will continue to import unleaded gasoline to satisfy domestic demand. During 2001, Pemex-Refining imported approximately 121 thousand barrels per day of unleaded gasoline, which represented 22% of total domestic demand for unleaded gasoline in that year.
In 2001, Pemex-Refining invested Ps. 7,222 million, as compared to Ps. 22,072 million in 2000, representing a 67% decrease in investment in combined PIDIREGAS and non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures due to the partial recognition of the Cadereyta project as a capital expenditure in 2000, although the project had not yet been completed. Of the Ps. 7,222 million, we invested Ps. 684 million in the Cadereyta PIDIREGAS. Amounts that were originally budgeted for investment in the Madero, Salamanca and Tula PIDIREGAS in 2001 were allocated to the 2002 budget, as these projects are expected to be completed in 2002.
Cadereyta Project. In November 1997, Pemex-Refining awarded a U.S. $1.6 billion contract to upgrade and revamp the Cadereyta refinery toConsorcio Proyecto Cadereyta (CONPROCA) a consortium formed by SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., Siemens AG and Triturados Basálticos y Derivados, S.A. de C.V. We expect the project to increase clean fuel production substantially, specifically gasoline and diesel, which will enable Pemex-Refining to fulfill future demand requirements in northern Mexico and comply with future environmental regulations. As of December 2001, the project was certified as 99.31% complete. Pemex-Refining made the first amortization payment of U.S. $121.2 million on December 15, 2000. During 2001, Pemex-Refining made the second and third amortization payments of U.S. $121.2 million each on June 15, 2001 and December 15, 2001.
Madero Project. In February 1999, Pemex-Refining awarded a U.S. $1.2 billion contract for the Madero refinery upgrading project to another consortium, PEMOPRO, S.A. de C.V., led by SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., Siemens AG and Triturados Basálticos y Derivados, S.A. de C.V. The total cost of the project is an estimated U.S. $1.6 billion and will involve the construction of 10 new plants and the upgrading of five others at the Madero complex in the state of Tamaulipas in northeastern Mexico. The project is expected to increase the Madero refinery's processing capacity for heavy crude oil (Maya) by 125,000 barrels per day, increase gasoline production by 34,000 barrels per day, increase middle distillates (diesel and jet fuel) production by 15,000 barrels per day and reduce production of high sulphur fuel oil by 13,000 barrels per day. As of December 2001, 95.11% of the total work for the Madero project had been completed. The project was completed on October 24, 2002.
Tula and Salamanca Projects. On November 11, 1999, Pemex-Refining awarded the Tula and Salamanca projects to Samsung Co. through an international bidding process. These projects are dedicated exclusively to increasing gasoline production, whereas the Cadereyta and Madero projects are dedicated to increasing heavy crude oil processing capacities through residual conversion. Upon the successful arrangement of a U.S. $333.5 million credit facility on March 10, 2000, Samsung Co. began construction on both projects. The construction period for both the Tula and Salamanca projects lasted 27 months. Total costs are expected to be U.S. $139.0 million for the Tula Project and U.S. $194.5 million for the Salamanca project. As of December 2001, the Tula project was 97.87% complete and the Salamanca project was 95.23% complete. The Tula project was completed on August 27, 2002, and the Salamanca project is expected to be delivered in the second half of 2002.
124
Minatitlán and Salina Cruz Projects. These refining projects are intended to increase production of high quality gasoline and middle distillates and to improve the crude oil blend. The bidding packages for these projects are ready and are pending final approval. The construction period is expected to last approximately 36 months following the financial closing.
Non-PIDIREGAS Investments. Pemex-Refining invested Ps. 6,537.7 million in 2001, not including expenditures relating to the Cadereyta, Madero, Tula and Salamanca PIDIREGAS. Strategic projects, in addition to those described above, comprised Ps. 2,282.7 million of the total investment, operating projects represented Ps. 2,836.5 million of the total investment and the remaining Ps. 1,418.5 million was dedicated mainly to acquisitions of equipment, research and development and complementary investments.
2002 Refining Investment Budget. For 2002, Pemex-Refining has budgeted Ps. 21,445 million for investment in PIDIREGAS. In addition, Pemex-Refining has budgeted Ps. 8,942.2 million for investments in 2002, not including expenditures related to PIDIREGAS. This non-PIDIREGAS budget includes Ps. 1,707.6 million in amortization payments for PIDIREGAS or 19% of the total budget. Pemex-Refining will invest 23% of the total amount to expand and upgrade refineries, 13% in environmental and industrial safety projects, 2% in pipeline systems and distribution terminals, 22% in maintenance and rehabilitation projects and 21% in other projects and acquisitions.

Gas and Basic Petrochemicals
Natural Gas and Condensates
Pemex-Exploration and Production's average natural gas production decreased by 3.6%, from 4,679 million cubic feet per day in 2000 to 4,511 million cubic feet per day in 2001, while the average natural gas production of Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals increased by 0.5%, from 2,791 million cubic feet per day in 2000 to 2,804 million cubic feet per day in 2001. Natural gas production associated with crude oil production accounted for 71.8% of production of natural gas in 2001, with the remainder of natural gas production consisting of extraction from fields holding natural gas reserves. Although natural gas production is more geographically diverse than crude oil production, 36 fields (or 12% of the 301 fields) accounted for 78% of all production in 2001. Of the total production, 34% originated in the Marine region, 39% in the Southern region and the remainder in the Northern region.
All natural gas production is directed to Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemical's gas processing facilities. At the end of 2001, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals owned ten facilities.

Domestic consumption of dry gas, which is natural gas with a methane content of more than 90%, totaled 3,823 million cubic feet per day in 2001, a 0.3% decrease from the 2000 domestic consumption of 3,836 million cubic feet per day. The subsidiary entities consumed approximately 48% of the total domestic dry gas consumed in 2001, while the industrial sector consumed 23%, the electrical sector consumed 26% and residential consumers consumed the remaining 3%.
We import dry gas to satisfy shortfalls in our production and to meet demand in areas of northern Mexico which, due to the distance from the fields, can be supplied more efficiently by importing natural gas from the United States. We imported 292 million cubic feet per day of dry gas in 2001, a 26% increase from 231 million cubic feet per day imported in 2000.
Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals also produces liquid hydrocarbons obtained from sweet natural gas and recovered in surface separating facilities and liquid hydrocarbons condensed in natural gas pipelines. Our production of natural gas liquids, including stabilized condensates and reprocessing and other fractionating streams, decreased by 0.5%, from 445 thousand barrels per day in 2000 to 443 thousand barrels per day in 2001, as our capacity recovered due to repairs and improvements.
Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals processes sweet and sour condensates and uses sweet condensates at its Reynosa facilities to produce solvents and naphtha. It also uses sour condensates, which have a higher sulphur content, to produce stabilized sweet condensates. The volume of sour condensates we processed from Pemex-Exploration and Production and internal streams of Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals amounted to 101 thousand barrels per day in 2001 and 98 thousand barrels per day in 2000. Of these amounts, 87 thousand barrels per day (86%) resulted in stabilized condensates during 2001, and 84 thousand barrels per day (86%) resulted in stabilized condensates during 2000.
Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals began operations of its Sulphur Plant No. 1 in November 2000, its Sulphur Plant No. 2 in December 2000 and its Sulphur Plant No. 3 in
128
January 2001, in the Cactus complex, each with a processing capacity of 24.2 million cubic feet per day of hydrosulphuric acid (291 tons per day of sulphur). In June 2001, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals began operating its Sulfur Plant No. 4 and in May 2001, it began operating its Sulphur Plant No. 5 in the Cactus complex, each with a capacity of 17.8 million cubic feet per day of hydrosulphuric acid (320 tons per day of sulphur). In March 2001, Sour Condensate Plants No. 1 and 2 were converted to process sour gas (120 millions cubic feet per day each) in Ciudad Pemex complex. In July 2001, Sulphur Plants No. 1 and 2 in Nuevo Pemex and in October 2001 Sulphur Plant No. 2 in Ciudad Pemex, were revamped and as a result, capacity increased to 400 tons per day of sulphur recovery in Sulphur Plant No. 1 and 407 tons per day of sulphur recovery in Sulphur Plant No. 2. In 2002 and 2003, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals expects to begin operations in two additional plants at Matapionche, one additional plant at Poza Rica and two cryogenic plants in a new facility near Reynosa. Matapionche is expected to have a processing capacity of 40 tons per day of sulphur recovery. Poza Rica is expected to have a processing capacity of 64 tons per day of sulphur recovery. The two cryogenic plants near Reynosa are expected to produce a total of 374 million cubic feet per day of dry gas, 9.6 thousand barrels per day of liquefied petroleum gas and 6.5 thousand barrels per day of naphtha, and the facility will contain storage for 65 thousand barrels per day of liquefied petroleum gas and naphtha.
In July 1996, three accidental explosions occurred at the Cactus natural gas processing complex in Reforma, Chiapas, which destroyed one natural gas liquid recovery plant, damaged a second natural gas liquid recovery plant and damaged the system of pipelines connecting these plants with other facilities. Since the explosions, our liquids recovery capacity has been steadily recovering. We completed the repair and upgrade of the damaged plants in April 1999.

Private Sector Participation in Natural Gas Distribution
The Regulatory Law, as amended effective May 12, 1995, provides that private and "social sector" companies may, with governmental authorization, store, distribute and transport natural gas, and may construct, own and operate natural gas pipelines, facilities and equipment. The regulations implementing this amendment entered into effect on November 9, 1995. The primary purpose of the change in the law is to increase the use of natural gas, which is a clean-burning fuel, among industrial users that currently burn fuel oil. Natural gas is a particularly practical substitute for fuel oil due to the low cost of converting existing equipment from fuel oil to natural gas and the existence of significant natural gas reserves in Mexico. In addition, we believe that the increased use of natural gas will promote economies of scale, which should tend to lower natural gas prices and enable the Mexican natural gas industry to comply with the stricter environmental standards that went into effect in 1998.
Notwithstanding these regulatory changes, we retain the exclusive right to explore, exploit, produce and sell to the initial purchaser natural gas, as well as to transport and store natural gas when those activities are inextricably linked with such exploitation and production. In addition, we retain exclusive right over the production of petroleum and natural gas derivatives classified as basic petrochemicals. Due to the amendment of the Regulatory Law, we are experiencing competition from the private sector in natural gas distribution. However, private sector distribution has increased use of natural gas (for which we remain the sole producer), which may offset the negative effect of the new competition.
TheComisión Reguladora de Energía (Energy Regulatory Commission), which is a technical agency with operational and budgetary autonomy within the Ministry of Energy:
- •
- regulates the activities of both public and private operators in the electricity and natural gas industries;
- •
- establishes pricing and tariff methodologies and general contractual terms; and
- •
- resolves disputes between regulated parties and users of their services.
130
Under the regulatory framework, we maintain an important role in the supply of natural gas given our position as the sole domestic producer of this product. We must apply the Energy Regulatory Commission's methodologies for establishing our initial domestic sales prices for natural gas that we produce (price regulation does not affect imported natural gas) and calculating our transportation rates. We then must submit those prices and rates to the Energy Regulatory Commission for its approval. Since 1997, the Regulatory Law has required us to provide the private sector with open access to our transportation system for distribution, ending our prior exclusive rights over the lines of distribution. We continue to market natural gas and may develop natural gas storage systems.
In 1996, the Energy Regulatory Commission approved the Gradual Access Program for 1996-1997 which allowed for subsequent private sector access to the domestic natural gas market as well as to natural gas imports of more than 5 million cubic feet per day in northern Mexico. As part of this program, PEMEX opened the Naco-Hermosillo pipeline for private sector use in September 1996 and granted the first permit for private sector distribution pipelines in Mexicali in August 1996. The Gradual Access Program of 1996-1997 also required that we open access to certain distribution assets to the private sector. As a result, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals' distribution assets located in Chihuahua, Cuauhtémoc-Anáhuac, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Toluca, Río Pánuco, Norte de Tamaulipas, Distrito Federal, Valle Cuautitlán-Texcoco, Saltillo, Nuevo Laredo, Querétaro and Monterrey have been privatized. As of 1999, all of our natural gas distribution pipelines were opened to private sector use and there were no further distribution assets left to divest pursuant to the program, although a portion of these assets are still held in trust (see Note 16 c) to the Financial Statements).
Hedging Operations
We are an importer of natural gas and have prepared our budget for 2002 based on a natural gas import price assumption of U.S. $2.92 per million British Thermal Units ("BTUs"). To cover our exposure to fluctuations in international natural gas prices, which may affect our budget assumptions, we have entered into and will continue to enter into contracts that hedge against such price fluctuations. As part of the Mexican Government's policy of promoting economic growth, on January 17, 2001, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Energy and PEMEX announced a natural gas pricing program for certain industrial consumers of natural gas in Mexico. Under that program, Mexican industrial consumers that hold outstanding natural gas price hedging instruments may enter into a three-year agreement with us to purchase natural gas from us at a fixed reference price of U.S. $4.00 per million BTUs. The purchase price represents approximately a 58% discount on spot prices offered in the market as of January 17, 2001 and 14% greater than spot prices offered in the market during September 2002. We entered into a number of such contracts in 2001. As part of our risk management strategy, we have also entered into a number of derivative instruments, primarily swaps and futures, for hedging purposes.
For more information on these fixed price sales, see "Item 11—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Commodity Instruments."
Investments
Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals invested Ps. 2,676 million in 2001, as compared to Ps. 3,719 million in 2000, in projects primarily related to natural gas and condensates processing, transportation and storage. In 2002, the Mexican Government approved Ps. 734 million of capital expenditures for investment in a new PIDIREGAS for Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals at the modular cryogenic plants in Reynosa. In addition to this, Ps. 4,758 million has been budgeted for Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals' other non-PIDIREGAS-related expenditures.

Petrochemicals
Capacity
At the end of 2001, we operated 114 industrial plants and auxiliary units located in six petrochemical complexes and one petrochemical unit which is presently not in operation. Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals operated 63 of these plants and auxiliary units, and Pemex-Petrochemicals operated the remaining 51 plants. Pemex-Petrochemicals had total installed capacity sufficient to produce 11.2 million tons per year of petrochemical products in 2001, 3.9% less than its 2000 installed capacity of 11.6 million tons per year. Pemex-Petrochemicals' total production capacity for the last five years was distributed among its facilities as follows:

Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals produces certain basic petrochemicals, such as sulphur and hexanes, while Pemex-Petrochemicals produces non-basic petrochemicals and Pemex-Refining produces a limited amount of non-basic petrochemicals as part of the crude oil refining process. Pemex-Petrochemicals' and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals' combined annual total petrochemical production (excluding ethane and butane gases) decreased by 10.0%, from 10,733 thousand tons in 2000 to 9,664 thousand tons in 2001. This decrease was caused primarily by a reduction in the production of methane and its derivatives and propylene and its derivatives. Pemex-Petrochemicals alone produced 5,994 thousand tons of petrochemicals in 2001, a 12.3% decrease from the 6,836 thousand tons it produced in 2000. The remainder was produced by Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals.
Over the past five years, Pemex-Petrochemicals' petrochemical production has decreased. This is primarily due to steadily decreasing petrochemical prices in international markets, contraction in demand in Mexico for petrochemicals and increasing competition in petrochemical production. These factors, together with increasing prices in raw materials, resulted in high production costs that caused Pemex-Petrochemicals to downsize some of its operations. The following table summarizes the annual production associated with the principal petrochemical activities of Pemex-Petrochemicals for the five years ended December 31, 2001.

Investments
Including the expenditures related to the Morelos petrochemical facility (which is indirectly controlled by Pemex-Petrochemicals and has its own budget), Pemex-Petrochemicals invested Ps. 1,541 million in 2001, as compared to Ps. 1,143 million in 2000, in projects primarily related to natural gas and condensates processing, transportation and storage. For 2002, Pemex-Petrochemicals expects to invest Ps. 2,704 million on these projects.
Domestic Sales
In 2001, domestic sales of petrochemical products by Pemex-Petrochemicals by value decreased by 20.2% from Ps. 9,954 million in 2000 to Ps. 7,948 million in 2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to the overall decrease in domestic demand for petrochemicals, as described above under "—Production," and was driven mainly by a decline in value of domestic sales of ethane and its derivatives.
Over the five years ended December 31, 2001, the value of Pemex-Petrochemicals' domestic sales were distributed as set forth in the table below. The sales of petrochemical products by Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals and Pemex-Refining are included under "—Gas and Basic Petrochemicals" and "—Refining" above.

Private Sector Participation in Petrochemicals Sector
Since the end of 1993, foreign and domestic private investors have been allowed to own 100% of any petrochemical plant producing non-basic petrochemicals. However, under Mexican law, only PEMEX may produce and engage in the first-hand sale of basic petrochemicals. Before the amendment to the Regulatory Law on November 14, 1996, the Ministry of Energy was responsible for determining which petrochemical products were classified as "basic" and nearly all petrochemicals were classified as such. In that regulatory environment, we expanded our petrochemical division rapidly. The amendment to the Regulatory Law limited basic petrochemicals to nine products (down from 34 products in 1986 and 19 products in 1989) that are used in the petrochemical production process. The amendment further allowed companies that produce basic petrochemicals as by-products of non-basic petrochemical production to sell these basic petrochemicals internally within plants in the same unit or complex or to sell those basic petrochemicals to PEMEX.
134
In October 1992, PEMEX and the Mexican Government announced a plan to privatize the non-basic petrochemical plants owned and operated by Pemex-Petrochemicals. In 1997, the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos approved a secondary petrochemical private-sector participation plan authorizing the creation of seven new subsidiaries of Pemex-Petrochemicals, which were created in 1997. The seven subsidiaries listed below hold the assets and liabilities associated with the production of non-basic petrochemicals, as well as the real estate corresponding to each complex or plant:
- •
- Petroquímica Cosoleacaque, S.A. de C.V.;
- •
- Petroquímica Escolín, S.A. de C.V.;
- •
- Petroquímica Tula, S.A. de C.V.;
- •
- Petroquímica Camargo, S.A. de C.V.;
- •
- Petroquímica Cangrejera, S.A. de C.V.;
- •
- Petroquímica Morelos, S.A. de C.V.; and
- •
- Petroquímica Pajaritos, S.A. de C.V.
Currently, Pemex-Petrochemicals is the sole shareholder of these seven subsidiaries, which own and operate our secondary petrochemical facilities at Cosoleacaque, Escolín (including the assets of Reynosa), Tula, Camargo, Cangrejera, Morelos and Pajaritos. On June 28, 2002, the board of directors of Pemex-Petrochemicals approved the merger of the seven subsidiaries into Pemex-Petrochemicals. In July 2002, the shareholders and the boards of directors of the seven subsidiaries approved the merger. The merger is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos.
International Trading
The PMI Group
The PMI Group includes PMI and the other PEMEX subsidiaries and affiliates that conduct international commercial activities for our products, except for natural gas, which is marketed directly by Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals. The PMI Group's main objective is to assist in maximizing our profitability and optimizing our operations through the use of international trade, facilitating the link between the international markets and us and pursuing new business opportunities in marketing our products. The PMI Group manages the international sales of our crude oil and petroleum products and acquires in the international markets those petroleum products that we import to satisfy domestic demand. Sales and purchases of petroleum products (refined products, petrochemical products and liquefied petroleum gas) in the international markets are carried out through PMI Trading. PMI Trading also performs third-party trading, chartering and risk-management activities.
Exports and Imports
PMI purchases crude oil from Pemex-Exploration and Production and then sells it to PMI's customers. PMI sold an average of 1,755 thousand barrels per day of crude oil in 2001, which constituted 56.1% of our total crude oil production.

PMI makes a significant percentage of crude oil sales under evergreen contracts, which can be terminated by either party pursuant to a three month phase-out clause. PMI sells most of its remaining exports to the same customers that purchase under evergreen contracts, but PMI makes these sales pursuant to separate supply contracts, which apply the pricing formulas included in the evergreen contracts. PMI generally sells crude oil on aFree On Board basis. In practically all cases, PMI sells refined products onFree on Board andCost and Freight bases and buys refined products onDelivery Ex-ship orDelivery at Frontier andCost and Freight bases.
PMI has entered into several long-term Maya crude oil supply agreements pursuant to which the purchasers have agreed to undertake projects to expand the capacity of their respective refineries to upgrade residue from Maya crude oil. Under these agreements, PMI will provide the purchasers with certain support mechanisms that will protect, under certain adverse market conditions, the investments that the purchasers have to undertake in accordance with the agreements. These agreements include:
- •
- an agreement with Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc., signed on March 10, 1998, to supply its Port Arthur, Texas refinery with approximately 158 thousand barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of seven years following project completion, which occurred in April 2001;
- •
- an agreement with Coastal Aruba Refining Company N.V., signed on July 30, 1998, to supply its refinery in Aruba with approximately 100 thousand barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in April 2000;
- •
- an agreement with Exxon Company U.S.A. and Exxon Trading Company International, signed on September 25, 1998, to supply its Baytown, Texas refinery with approximately 65 thousand barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in December 2001;
- •
- an agreement with Pecten Trading Company, which is a trading subsidiary of Shell Oil Company, signed on May 1, 1999, and an agreement with P.M.I. Norteamérica, S.A. de C.V., signed on the same date, to supply the Deer Park refinery joint venture with a total of approximately 50 thousand barrels per day of Maya crude oil following project completion, which occurred in April 2001, and up to 200 thousand barrels per day thereafter;
- •
- an agreement with Marathon Ashland Supply LLC, signed on May 1, 1999, to supply its Garyville, Louisiana refinery with approximately 100 thousand barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in December 2001;
- •
- an agreement with Valero Marketing and Supply Company and Valero Refining—Texas, L.P., signed on December 17, 2001, to supply their Texas City, Texas refinery with approximately 90 thousand barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which is scheduled to occur on or before October 1, 2003; and
- •
- an agreement with Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., signed on March 6, 2002, to supply its Pascagoula, Mississippi refinery with approximately 130 thousand barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which is scheduled to occur in April 2003.
These long-term Maya crude oil supply agreements further our strategy to support the export value of Maya crude oil in relation to the value of other grades of crude oil by creating incentives for refiners to invest in new high-conversion refineries, which will be capable of upgrading the relatively large proportion of residue produced from processing Maya crude oil in less-efficient refining complex configurations.
The Ministry of Energy has entered into certain agreements to reduce and increase exports of crude oil as discussed below in "—Trade Regulations and Export Agreements."

Natural gas imports increased by 26.4% in 2001, from 231.4 million cubic feet per day in 2000 to 292.2 million cubic feet per day in 2001 primarily due to an increase in domestic demand for natural gas. In 2001, total exports and imports of petrochemical products by volume decreased by 31.5%, from 1,568.2 thousand metric tons in 2000 to 1,074.3 thousand metric tons in 2001. In 2001, total exports and imports of refined products by volume decreased by 13.2%, from 558.0 thousand barrels per day in 2000 to 484.5 thousands barrel per day in 2001. This decrease was mainly due to an increase in production of refined products by Pemex-Refining accompanied by a slight decrease in domestic demand for refined products. Coupled with the decrease in exports of petrochemical products, this decrease in imports helped improve the external trade balance.

Since 1989, increasing domestic demand has led to a deficit in the petroleum products trade balance. Nevertheless, in 2001, exports and imports of petroleum products decreased at comparable rates, primarily due to a decrease in domestic demand for petroleum products. Taking into account trading activities on behalf of third parties in 2001, PMI marketed more than 373.5 thousand barrels per day of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, jet fuel and gasoline additives, representing a 9.2% decrease as compared to 2000 volumes.
Imports of refined products decreased in value by 23.5% during 2001, while exports of refined products decreased in value by 23.2%. During 2002, import volumes of refined products are likely to
140
continue to fluctuate significantly in the short-term as a result of expected increases in future production capacity. Due to the uncertainty regarding the successful startup and initial operation of the new refining plants, we cannot predict import trends in the short-term from current data.
Imports of natural gas increased in value by 15.6% during 2001, while exports of natural gas decreased by 2.0%, primarily because of increased domestic demand for natural gas.
The following table describes the composition of our imports and exports of selected refined products in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

Hedging Operations
PMI Trading engages in hedging operations to cover the variations in the purchase and sale prices for petroleum products. Its internal policies establish a limit on the maximum capital at risk. Capital at risk is calculated daily in order to compare the actual figures with the aforementioned limit. Internal controls include a risk comptroller responsible for ensuring compliance, an internal auditing department and a risk management committee. See "Item 11—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk—Commodity Instruments."
Transportation and Distribution
Our pipelines connect crude oil and natural gas producing centers with refineries and petrochemical plants, and the refineries and petrochemical plants with Mexico's major cities. At the end of 2001, our pipeline network measured approximately 54,477 kilometers in length. Of the total network, approximately 8,768 kilometers of pipelines transport crude oil, approximately 12,140 kilometers transport petroleum products and petrochemicals, 15,935 kilometers transport natural gas, 1,822 kilometers transport liquefied petroleum gas, 1,084 kilometers transport basic petrochemicals and the remaining kilometers are crude oil and natural gas gathering pipelines. Ownership of the pipelines is distributed among our subsidiary entities according to the products they transport.
During 2001, we transported approximately 72.9 billion tons per kilometer of crude oil to be processed in the refining system and petroleum products to satisfy domestic demand, as compared to the 71.03 billion tons per kilometer carried in 2000. Of the total amount of tons per kilometer we transported in 2001, we carried 99.6% through pipelines and 0.4% by vessels.
142
At the end of 2001, we owned nineteen refined product tankers and leased another four. We also owned 78 major wholesale storage centers.
PEMEX Corporate Matters
In addition to the operating activities that we undertake through the activities of our subsidiary entities and subsidiary companies, we have certain centralized corporate operations that coordinate general labor, safety, insurance and legal matters.
Industrial Safety
Petróleos Mexicanos' Corporate Division of Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection is responsible for planning, conducting and coordinating programs to:
- •
- foster a company culture of safety and environmental protection;
- •
- improve the safety of our workers and facilities;
- •
- reduce risks to the residents surrounding our facilities; and
- •
- protect the environment.
We intend to develop further the industrial safety and environmental programs for each subsidiary entity. The environmental and safety division of each subsidiary entity coordinates closely with the Corporate Division of Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection.
Insurance
We maintain general and civil liability insurance coverage for our onshore real and personal property, such as refineries, process plants, pipelines and storage facilities, and our offshore properties such as drilling platforms, rigs, gas gathering systems, floating docks and production facilities. Our insurance covers risks of sudden and accidental physical destruction or loss or damage to our properties. Our offshore general and civil liability insurance also covers extraordinary costs related to the operation of offshore wells, such as control and repair costs, evacuation costs and costs associated with spills. We maintain additional coverage for offshore environmental liabilities. We also maintain protection and indemnity insurance, life insurance, as well as insurance for automobiles and heavy equipment, electronic equipment and cargo and hull insurance for our shipping fleet.
We contract the majority of our insurance policies through Mexican insurance carriers. These policies have limits of U.S. $1.0 billion for onshore property, U.S. $1.25 billion for offshore property (with an additional U.S. $250 million for accidental losses at our Atasta Processing and Transportation Center and our terminal at Dos Bocas, Tabasco), U.S. $300 million for extraordinary costs related to the operation of offshore wells, U.S. $500 million for offshore environmental liability and U.S. $400 million for civil liabilities. Since June 30, 1999, our insurance policies covering onshore and offshore properties also cover unforeseen interruptions in operations. This coverage, which is limited to U.S. $750 million for onshore operations and U.S. $1.25 billion for offshore operations, counts against the overall limits of the onshore and offshore property policies.
Property, Plants and Equipment
General
Substantially all of PEMEX's property, consisting of refineries, storage, production, manufacturing and transportation facilities and certain retail outlets, is located in Mexico, including Mexican waters in the Gulf of Mexico. The location, character, utilization, productive capacity and related environmental issues of our exploration, drilling, refining, petrochemical production, transportation and storage
143
facilities are described above. See "—Exploration and Production," "—Refining," "—Gas and Basic Petrochemicals," "—Petrochemicals," and "—Transportation and Distribution."
Reserves
Under Mexican law, all oil and other hydrocarbon reserves within Mexico are owned by the Mexican nation and not by PEMEX. Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities have the exclusive right to exploit those reserves under the Regulatory Law and related laws and regulations. Our estimates of Mexico's hydrocarbon reserves are described in "—Exploration and Production—Reserves."
The Mexican Government and its agencies closely regulate and supervise our operations. The Ministry of Energy monitors our activities and the Secretary of Energy acts as the chairman of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos. The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit approves the annual budget and financing program of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities. The Mexican Government incorporates the annual budget and financing program of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities into its budget, which the Mexican Congress must approve each year. The Mexican Government is not, however, directly liable for the financial obligations that we incur. The Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources, in conjunction with other federal and state authorities, regulates our activities that affect the environment. SECODAM appoints the external auditors of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities.
Legal Framework
We are subject to the provisions of theLey General del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección al Ambiente (General Law on Ecology and Environmental Protection, which we refer to as the "Environmental Law"), the regulations issued thereunder and several technical environmental norms issued by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources, which is the federal ministry in charge of supervising and regulating environmental matters relating to PEMEX. The Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Communications and Transportation, the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Energy assist the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources in its functions. In addition, we are subject to the environmental laws and regulations issued by the governments of each of the states of Mexico where our facilities are located.
The Environmental Law and Regulation by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources
The Environmental Law and related regulations require that we obtain certain authorizations from the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources before we can carry out any activity that may have an adverse effect on the environment. In particular, these environmental regulations apply to chemical, petrochemical, crude oil refining and extraction activities, as well as the construction of crude oil and natural gas pipelines. Before authorizing a new project, the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources requires the submission of an environmental impact analysis and any other information that it may request. The Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources is entitled to grant or deny its authorization of any activity.
The environmental regulations that apply generally to Mexican industry apply to us. These regulations specify, among other matters, permissible levels of emissions, water discharges and hazardous substances discharges as well as atmospheric pollution level limits. The technical regulations for oil and petrochemical industries set forth maximum permissible levels of pollution in residual water discharges and natural gas emissions. These regulations also establish procedures for measuring
144
pollution levels. Mexico generally updates and revises its environmental regulatory framework as necessary, and we participate with the Mexican Government in developing environmental regulations that are related to our activities.
In April 1997, the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources issued regulations governing the procedures for obtaining an environmental license, under which new industrial facilities can comply with all applicable environmental requirements by way of a single administrative procedure. Each environmental license integrates all different permits, licenses and authorizations related to environmental matters for a particular facility. We must obtain an Environmental License for any new facility, while our existing facilities are not subject to this obligation.
Federal and state authorities in Mexico may inspect any facility to determine compliance with the Environmental Law, local environmental laws, regulations and technical environmental regulations. Violations or non-compliance with the legal provisions may result in the application of substantial fines, temporary or permanent shutdown of a facility, required capital expenditures to minimize the effect of our operations on the environment, cleanup of contaminated land and water, cancellation of a concession or revocation of authorization to carry out certain activities and, in certain cases, criminal prosecution of employees and individuals.
PEMEX's Internal Monitoring
We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with current federal and state environmental laws as those laws have been historically interpreted and enforced. We maintain an organizational structure that permits us to implement and monitor our environmental program. The subsidiary entities have specialized departments, depending on the size and geographic distribution of their respective sites, that implement their own environmental programs, internal environmental audits and inspections of their sites and their immediate surroundings based on the standards of the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources. When these internal audits reveal deficiencies, the subsidiary entities take the necessary remedial actions. Remediation requirements derived from these internal audits and inspections are recorded in the financial statements when they are known and estimable.
Our Corporate Division of Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection has developed an integrated safety and environmental protection management system and is currently implementing strategies within PEMEX to create a company culture focused on improving industrial safety and environmental protection. This system is an administrative tool composed of diverse, interdependent and interrelated elements, focused on diagnosis, evaluation, implementation and continuing preventive improvements related to safety and environmental protection. The diagnosis and evaluation stages have been completed; the system is now in the implementation stage.
145
We maintain an internal structure to identify and solve environmental problems and retain external consultants to perform operational audits at our industrial plants, including cost estimates for remedying any shortfall in compliance with Mexican environmental laws. Such remedies can include improving the operating efficiency of plants, cleaning up contaminated land and water, and capital expenditures to minimize the effect of our operations on the environment.
In addition to our internal monitoring structure for identifying affected areas, areas of noncompliance and improvement opportunities, our environmental program is subject to the review of theProcuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente (the Office of the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection, which we refer to as "PROFEPA"). PROFEPA administers the Mexican environmental regulatory rubric and establishes acceptable standards of environmental remediation. Although PROFEPA has the authority to review and inspect remediation works performed by PEMEX and compliance with permitted contamination levels established by laws and regulations, it does not determine PEMEX's environmental liabilities. PEMEX maintains proper records of all of the studies, estimations, performed works and any other information that PROFEPA may request from time to time.
In 1993, PEMEX entered into a voluntary environmental audit program with PROFEPA. As of December 31, 2001, with respect to Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities, 450 environmental audits had been completed under the program with PROFEPA and all main facilities had been covered. As each environmental audit is completed, we send the audit report (which includes the estimated costs for remedying environmental anomalies) to PROFEPA for its review and approval. After approval by PROFEPA, we review the audits and determine which findings can be resolved by changing current plant or drilling operations and implementing the current capital expenditures plan. If the audit report is approved by PROFEPA, PEMEX and PROFEPA negotiate a corrective action plan, stipulating the time period, amounts to be expended and the steps to be taken to bring each site into compliance. As of December 31, 2001, corrective action plans for 303 audits had been completed and 275 sites had received "clean industry" certifications from PROFEPA. With respect to the remaining 147 audits, the corrective action plans have been agreed upon and are being implemented.
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.
Environmental Liabilities
At December 31, 2001, our estimated and accrued environmental liabilities totaled Ps. 2,316 million. Of this total, Ps. 1,315.6 million was attributable to Pemex-Exploration and Production, Ps. 846.6 million was attributable to Pemex-Refining, Ps. 131.4 million was attributable to Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals and Ps. 22.5 million was attributable to Pemex-Petrochemicals. There were no environmental liabilities at the subsidiary company level. The following charts detail our environmental liabilities by operating region at December 31, 2001.

Our estimates of environmental liabilities include cost estimates for general and site-specific evaluation studies and the corresponding remediation. The remediation sites consist of sites identified in the audit process described above as well as those previously identified sites in more mature petroleum operating areas that were not cleaned in the past. Our environmental liabilities also include the elimination of ponds created by abandoned petroleum wells. Additionally, our environmental liabilities include an accrual for information requested and received periodically from field managers as to probable environmental liabilities identified in their respective areas of responsibility. PEMEX accrues its environmental liabilities when sufficient basic knowledge is available to form a preliminary estimation as to remediation cost. Although the full potential scope of remediation cost may not be known with certainty, such accruals are made when the liability is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable, in accordance with SFAS No. 5. These estimated liabilities include assumptions as to initial evaluation of damage, including land acreage to be remediated, depth of contamination and type of contamination. While the initial evaluation is extensive, there is a possibility that the actual scope of remediation could vary depending upon information gained during the remediation process. For further discussion of PEMEX's environmental liabilities, see Note 19 II (d) to the Financial Statements.
Unasserted or additional claims are not reflected in our identified liabilities. We are not aware of any such claims that would be of such a magnitude as to materially affect our estimates of environmental liabilities.
At the end of 2001, we were not aware of uncertainties with respect to joint and several liabilities that could affect our assessment of environmental contingencies or otherwise result in a major environmental liability. We are responsible for all production, processing, storage and distribution of petroleum and its derivatives in Mexico. As a result, we believe we are positioned to know immediately
148
of any claims and are therefore directly and immediately accountable for such claims that may be brought against us.
The timing of remediation or cleanup of the sites accounted for in these environmental liabilities is a function of the annual budget assigned to us by the Mexican Congress.
Environmental Expenditures
In 2001, we invested approximately Ps. 3,349 million in environmental projects as compared to Ps. 2,711 million in 2000. For 2002, we have budgeted Ps. 3,928 million for environmental expenditures. The most important of these projects are directed to the modernization of installations, the implementation of systems and control mechanisms to monitor atmospheric pollution, the acquisition of equipment to address the contingencies of hydrocarbon spills, the expansion of water effluent systems, the restoration and reforestation of affected areas, studies for environmental investigation and the conducting of environmental audits. In addition, we continue to conduct extensive research and development efforts to increase our capacity to produce gasoline, diesel and fuel oil with lower sulphur content and alternative fuels, such as industrial oil and natural gas. Currently, we are developing procedures to track the costs and expenses of our industrial safety measures and environmental compliance.
We do not believe that the cost of complying with environmental laws or environmental requirements related to the North American Free Trade Agreement among the governments of Mexico, the United States and Canada, which we refer to as "NAFTA," or Mexico's membership in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, has caused or will cause a significant increase in our environmental expenditures.
TRADE REGULATIONS AND EXPORT AGREEMENTS
Although it is not a member of OPEC, since 1998 Mexico has entered into agreements with OPEC and non-OPEC members to reduce its oil exports in order to stabilize international oil prices. Under three agreements in 1998 and 1999, Mexico agreed to reduce our oil exports by 325 thousand barrels per day through most of 1999. These agreements were successful in raising oil prices in 1999.
During 2000, the Ministry of Energy of Mexico announced increases in crude oil exports by a total of 225 thousand barrels per day, in line with OPEC agreements to increase crude oil production that year. By contrast, in 2001, the Ministry of Energy announced reductions in crude oil export levels totaling 185 thousand barrels per day. Mexico agreed with other oil producing countries to reduce its oil exports in conjunction with production cuts by other oil producing countries in order to stabilize oil prices, which fell sharply in December 2000.
Following OPEC's announcement that it would reduce crude oil production by 1.5 million barrels a day, on January 2, 2002, Mexico announced it would decrease its crude oil exports by 100 thousand barrels per day to 1.66 million barrels per day for six months beginning on January 1, 2002. Most recently, following an OPEC announcement that it would maintain current crude oil production levels through fourth quarter 2002, Mexico affirmed that it would maintain its crude oil exports at their present levels for the same period.
For more information on these agreements and announcements, see "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Sales Volumes and Prices—Export Agreements."
NAFTA did not affect our exclusive rights to explore and produce crude oil and natural gas, to refine crude oil and to produce basic petrochemicals. By 2004, however, NAFTA will phase in lower tariffs on certain petroleum products, including petrochemicals, and certain materials and equipment that we import into Mexico as well as lower tariffs on crude oil and petroleum products that we export to the United States and Canada. Lower tariffs on exports of non-basic petrochemicals from the United
149
States and Canada to Mexico could, over time, increase competition in the non-basic petrochemicals industry in Mexico. To the extent that domestic and international prices for our products remain constant, lower tariffs on the products, materials and equipment that we import from and export to the United States and Canada will decrease our expenses and increase our income.
General
We must pay a number of special hydrocarbon taxes and duties to the Mexican Government, in addition to the other taxes and duties paid by some of the subsidiary companies, as described below under "—Other Taxes." The rate at which hydrocarbon taxes and duties are assessed may vary from year to year and is set after taking into consideration our operating budget, our capital expenditure program and our financing needs.
If the indirect IEPS Tax that we collect is taken into account, we contributed approximately 34% of the Mexican Government's revenues in 2001 and 37% in 2000.
The most important taxes and duties payable by us and their applicable rates in 2002 are the following:
Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty | Only Pemex-Exploration and Production pays this duty. A rate of 52.3% is applied to the net cash flow that results from deducting all cash expenditures (including operating expenses and capital expenditures) from the cash revenues generated by Pemex-Exploration and Production's sales of goods and services. | |
Extraordinary Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty | Only Pemex-Exploration and Production pays this duty, which is calculated on the same basis as the Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, using a tax rate of 25.5%. | |
Additional Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty | Only Pemex-Exploration and Production pays this duty, which is calculated on the same basis as the Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, using a tax rate of 1.1%. | |
Hydrocarbon Income Tax | Petróleos Mexicanos pays this direct tax on behalf of itself and the subsidiary entities. This tax is equivalent to the regular income tax applied to all Mexican corporations, a tax to which Petróleos Mexicanos and subsidiary entities are not subject. A tax rate of 35% is applied to net income (determined in accordance with the Income Tax Law) of each of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities, which may be determined on a consolidated basis. | |
IEPS Tax | The Special Tax on Production and Services (which we refer to as the "IEPS Tax") is an indirect tax on domestic sales of gasoline, diesel and natural gas for automotive use that Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals collect on behalf of the Mexican Government. The IEPS Tax on the sale of gasoline and diesel is equivalent to the difference between the international reference price of each product (adjusted by freight costs and quality factors) and the retail price of the product to its customers (not including value added tax, the retailers' margin and freight costs). Thus, the Mexican Government ensures that PEMEX retains an amount reflecting the international prices (adjusted as described above) of these products, while the Mexican Government collects the difference between the international prices and the prices at which these products are sold in Mexico. The IEPS Tax imposed on natural gas sales for automotive use is based on a variable percentage, taking into consideration the international reference price of this product and the reference of the retail price of unleaded gasoline. |
150
The sum of the Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, the Extraordinary Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, the Additional Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, the Hydrocarbon Income Tax and the IEPS Tax (collectively, the "Taxes and Duties") must equal the Hydrocarbon Duty. For 2002, the Hydrocarbon Duty is calculated by applying a rate of 60.8% to the subsidiary entities' sales revenues from the PMI Group and third parties, including the IEPS Tax generated by Pemex-Refining, but excluding the value added tax. We make advance payments to the Mexican Government in respect of our Taxes and Duties liability up to the amount of the Hydrocarbon Duty. Our advance payments are, in turn, credited against our liability under the Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, the Extraordinary Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, the Additional Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, the Hydrocarbon Income Tax and the IEPS Tax.
In the event that the sum of the Taxes and Duties is not equal to the Hydrocarbon Duty, the rates of the Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty, the Extraordinary Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty and the Additional Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty will be adjusted to ensure that the sum of the Taxes and Duties equals the Hydrocarbon Duty.
Excess Gains Revenue Duty
This is an administrative duty payable to the Mexican Government in addition to the Hydrocarbon Duty. Each year, we must pay an Excess Gains Revenue Duty in an amount equal to 39.2% of those revenues in excess of a threshold price set for that year. In 2001, we paid an Excess Gains Revenue Duty because our crude oil export prices exceeded the U.S. $18.00 per barrel threshold established for that year. For 2002, the Excess Gains Revenue Duty is 39.2% of those revenues from crude oil export sales in excess of a threshold crude oil price of U.S. $15.50 per barrel. Thus, for every dollar exceeding the threshold price, we must pay to the Mexican Government 60.8 cents in Hydrocarbon Duty and 39.2 cents in Excess Gains Revenue Duty so that all revenues above the threshold amount for that year are payable to the Mexican Government. However, for the amount up to the threshold price, we pay only the Hydrocarbon Duty. See also "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—General—IEPS Tax, Excess Gains Duty, Hydrocarbon Duties and Other Taxes." We paid this duty in 2001 and cannot assure you that the Mexican Government will not lower this threshold price again in the future and thereby increase the amounts that we would be required to pay to the Mexican Government.
151
Other Taxes
Since 1994, our interest payments on our external debt have been subject to Mexican withholding taxes. In 1994, the Mexican Government credited our withholding tax payments against our tax liability, but since the end of 1994, the Mexican Government has not allowed such a credit. Nevertheless, withholding taxes do not represent a substantial portion of our total tax liability.
Beginning in 1995, we have been subject to municipal and state taxes, such as real property and payroll taxes. However, because most of our facilities are located on federal property, which is not subject to municipal taxation, real property taxes are not a significant part of our overall taxes. Similarly, payroll taxes do not represent a substantial portion of our total tax liability.
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are exempt from Mexican corporate income tax; however, certain of our subsidiary companies are Mexican corporations and are subject to the tax regime applicable to other Mexican corporations. Mexican companies are generally required to pay the higher of their income tax liability (determined at a rate of 35% for 1999 through 2002, 34% for 2003, 33% for 2004 and 32% thereafter) or their asset tax liability (determined at a rate of 1.8% of the average tax value of virtually all of their assets, less the average tax value of certain liabilities (basically liabilities with Mexican residents excluding debts with financial institutions or their intermediaries)). To the extent a company is required to pay the asset tax in any year, the portion of that tax that exceeds the company's income tax liability may be credited against the company's income tax liability in subsequent years.
In addition, we have a number of non-Mexican subsidiary companies that may be subject to taxation in the jurisdiction of their incorporation or operations. The aggregate taxes paid by the subsidiary companies was Ps. 684 million in 2001, Ps. 807 million in 2000 and Ps. 689 million in 1999.
Future Fiscal Reform
Over the past few years, the Mexican Government and PEMEX have been discussing various proposals for reforming the Mexican federal tax regime applicable to us. The proposals have generally sought to change applicable tax law so that our fiscal burdens are similar to those of state-owned oil companies in other countries. In particular, we have presented alternative internal revenue strategies to improve the Mexican Government's recovery of income from hydrocarbon extraction, while allowing PEMEX to finance more efficiently the development of hydrocarbon reserves and investments in property, plant and equipment.
At the present time, however, the Mexican Government has not taken a position on this issue. Because only the Mexican Congress has the power to enact a change in federal tax law, and given the highly politicized nature of the federal legislative process, we cannot predict the extent or nature of future changes, if any, to the federal tax law applicable to us.
The information in this section with regard to Mexico has been included due to Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities' relationship with the Mexican Government and has been reviewed by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit.
Form of Government
The President is the chief of the executive branch of the Mexican Government. The current President of Mexico is Vicente Fox Quesada, whose term expires on November 30, 2006. The Constitution limits the President to one six-year term and does not allow reelection for any additional terms.

The Economy
National Development Program
On June 11, 2002, the Mexican Government announced thePrograma Nacional de Financiamiento del Desarrollo 2002-2006 (National Development Financing Program 2002-2006, or "PRONAFIDE 2002-2006"). The goals of the PRONAFIDE 2002-2006 are to:
- •
- generate the resources needed to finance social programs contemplated by the National Development Plan 2001-2006;
- •
- increase the rate of economic growth;
- •
- generate jobs consistent with population dynamics; and
- •
- consolidate a stable macroeconomic environment.
The basic strategies that the Mexican Government expects to employ in connection with the PRONAFIDE 2002-2006 are as follows:
- •
- implementation of structural reforms aimed at fostering a legal and economic environment favorable to the competitive participation of the private sector in productive activities;
- •
- promotion of public sector savings in order to increase the availability of financial resources for the private sector;
- •
- promotion of private sector domestic savings, with an emphasis on both popular and long-term savings;
- •
- promotion of external savings only as a complement to domestic savings; and
- •
- strengthening of the financial system and modernization of development banks in order to foster economic growth in the medium term.
153
Notwithstanding these initiatives, significant new investment in infrastructure, industrial and agricultural modernization, training and environmental protection will be required for continued growth and development. The Mexican economy is also likely to continue to be subject to the effects of adverse domestic and external factors such as declines in foreign direct and portfolio investment, high interest rates and low oil prices, which may lead to volatility in the foreign exchange and financial markets and may affect Mexico's ability to service its foreign debt.
The PRONAFIDE 2002-2006 presents the medium-term strategy aimed at creating and strengthening domestic sources of financing within a stable macroeconomic environment and contemplates a medium-term fiscal stance that includes the following:
- •
- maintaining the public sector debt within sustainable levels;
- •
- reducing the Mexican Government's absorption of domestic financial resources, limiting the crowding-out effect of fiscal policy to private investment in the medium term; and
- •
- strengthening the capacity of the Mexican Government to fulfill its social mandate.
The Role of the Government in the Economy; Privatization
On May 24, 2002, the Mexican Government completed its privatization of Aseguradora Hidalgo, S.A. ("AHISA"). The Comisión Intersecretarial de Desincorporación ("CID") approved the sale of AHISA shares owned by the Mexican Government and by PEMEX to MetLife Inc. for Ps. 9,200 million.
On June 19, 2002, the Mexican Government and the Bank Savings Insurance Institute, or "IPAB," jointly carried out the sale of nearly all of their shares of Grupo Financiero BBVA Bancomer, S.A. de C.V. ("BBVA Bancomer") in the national and international markets. On July 3, 2002, the Mexican Government and IPAB sold additional shares pursuant to an over-allotment option. The Mexican Government had retained a minority interest in Bancomer, S.A. at the time of its privatization in 1991. IPAB had acquired the shares in connection with the purchase by BBVA Bancomer of Banca Promex, S.A. in 2000. The proceeds to the Mexican Government as a result of the sale totaled Ps. 6.5 billion for the shares sold internationally, Ps. 574.2 million for the shares sold in Mexico and U.S. $11.2 million for the shares sold in the United States in the form of ADSs. The proceeds to IPAB as a result of the sale totaled Ps. 1,004.6 million for the shares sold internationally, Ps. 88.1 million for the shares sold in Mexico and U.S. $1.7 million for the ADSs sold in the United States.
Gross Domestic Product
During 2000, Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") grew by 6.6% in real terms, exceeding the target originally set in the General Economic Policy Guidelines for 2000 by 2.1 percentage points. GDP grew by 7.5% in real terms in the first quarter of 2000, 7.4% in the second quarter, 7.1% in the third quarter and 4.7% in the fourth quarter.
According to preliminary figures, GDP decreased by 0.3% in real terms in 2001 as compared with 2000. The financial services, insurance and real estate sector grew by 4.1%, the transportation, storage and communications sector grew 2.8%, the agriculture, livestock, fishing and forestry sector grew by 2.5%, the electricity, gas and water sector grew by 1.7% and the community, social and personal services sector grew by 0.5%, each in real terms.

Prices and Wages
During most of 2000, the annual inflation rate (as measured by the change in the national consumer price index) maintained an uninterrupted downward trend in accordance with the goals established by Banco de México, Mexico's central bank, and fell to 9.0% for the year. However, during the last few months of 2000, the economy experienced inflationary pressures, which led Banco de México to adopt a stricter monetary stance. Inflation during 2001 was 4.4%, 2.1 percentage points lower than the official inflation target for the year. Inflation during the first eight months of 2002 was 3.3%, 0.9 percentage points higher than during the same period of 2001.
Interest Rates
The 28-day Treasury bill (Certificados de la Tesorería de la Federación, or "Cetes") rate reached 18.1%, its highest level in 2000, during the last week of November 2000. This was primarily due to the volatility in the international financial markets caused by the signs of a deceleration in economic growth in the United States and the restrictive monetary policy adopted by Banco de México. However,
155
interest rates registered a slight decline toward the end of 2000. For 2000 as a whole, the 28-dayCetes rate averaged 15.2%, 6.2 percentage points lower than the average rate during 1999, and the 91-dayCetes rate averaged 16.2%, 6.2 percentage points lower than the average rate during 1999.
During 2001, interest rates on 28-dayCetes averaged 11.3% and interest rates on 91-dayCetes averaged 12.2%, as compared with average rates on 28-dayCetes and 91-dayCetes of 15.2% and 16.2%, respectively, during 2000.
During the first nine months of 2002, interest rates on 28-dayCetes averaged 7.0% and interest rates on 91-dayCetes averaged 7.3%, as compared with average rates on 28-day and 91-dayCetes of 13.0% and 13.4%, respectively, during the same period of 2001. On November 18, 2002, the 28-dayCetes rate was 7.2% and the 91-dayCetes rate was 7.6%.
Financial System
2001 Monetary Program
Banco de México's monetary policy during 2001 continued to target a sustainable reduction in inflation. In this context, Banco de México maintained the "short" mechanism as its principal monetary policy instrument. Under the mechanism, the daily average of the net total balance of the current accounts of banks accumulated during a certain period is a negative number, exerting an upward influence on interest rates. This mechanism allows Banco de México to combat disorderly conditions in the money and foreign exchange markets and to help ensure that changes in the monetary base follow a path consistent with the assumed inflation rate. Banco de México increased the "short" once during 2001, from Ps. 350 million to Ps. 400 million on January 12, 2001. The increase in the "short" was in response to internal and external factors that could have threatened the achievement of the inflation target for 2001. The factors identified by Banco de México included:
- •
- increased aggregate demand;
- •
- increased inflationary pressures in the United States and in other principal developed economies; and
- •
- increases in the prices of certain fruits and vegetables.
The central bank's restrictive monetary policy played an important role in reducing short-term and medium-term inflationary expectations.
Banco de México subsequently reduced the "short" on two occasions during the year, from Ps. 400 million to Ps. 350 million on May 18, 2001 and from Ps. 350 million to Ps. 300 million on July 31, 2001, in response to the slowdown in economic growth and decreased aggregate demand.
At the end of December 2001, the monetary base had grown to Ps. 225,580 million, a 3.4% increase in real terms as compared to the level at December 29, 2000. The net domestic credit of Banco de México registered a negative balance of Ps. 185,735 million at December 31, 2001, as compared to a negative balance of Ps. 133,443 million at the end of 2000. The increase in the negative balance was attributable primarily to the accumulation of net international assets by Banco de México during this period, inasmuch as the monetary base remained within the limits established in the monetary program.
During 2001, the M1a money supply increased by 16.3% in real terms, as compared with the 6.2% real growth observed in 2000. This increase was due primarily to the effects of a decrease in interest rates observed during the second half of the year and the impact of the difference between the rate of return on checking accounts and on time deposits. Checking account deposits denominated in pesos increased by 15.1% in real terms during 2001.
156
The growth in financial savings, defined as the difference between the monetary aggregate M4a and bills and coins held by the public, increased from 3.1% in real terms in 2000 to 11.7% in 2001. Savings generated by Mexican residents increased by 11.7% in real terms, whereas savings generated by non-residents decreased by 15.9% in real terms in 2001.
Since April 2000, Banco de México has been publishing quarterly reports on inflation.
2002 Monetary Program
Mexico's monetary program for 2002 has as its principal objective the achievement of an inflation rate not exceeding 4.5% by the end of 2002. The following elements are considered necessary conditions to meet the inflation target for 2002 and to be in a better position to achieve the targeted inflation rate of approximately 3.0% for 2003:
- •
- a monetary policy compatible with the proposed goals;
- •
- an adjustment of prices administered by the public sector that is consistent with the Mexican Government's inflation objectives;
- •
- salary increases that are compatible with sustained productivity increases and inflationary objectives;
- •
- an absence of severe external disturbances—such as a significant depreciation of exchange rate or a sharp reduction in the supply of foreign capital—that could cause a considerable depreciation in the real exchange rate; and
- •
- a sound fiscal stance.
Banco de México has published quarterly reports on inflation in 2002 which evaluate the consequences of any failure to satisfy any of the conditions stated above.
Banco de México will continue to use the "short" mechanism to induce the necessary changes in interest rates to achieve inflation objectives. The Board of Governors of Banco de México decided to increase the "short" to Ps. 360 million as of February 8, 2002 in order to avoid a deterioration of inflationary expectations and a negative effect on price levels in general.
In response to the decline in interest rates and inflationary expectations, the Board of Governors of Banco de México decided to decrease the "short" from Ps. 360 million to Ps. 300 million as of April 12, 2002. However, it increased the "short" to Ps. 400 million on September 23, 2002 in response to an increase in inflationary expectations for the last quarter of 2002. If internal or external events or a change in inflationary expectations were to threaten the achievement of the inflation target, Banco de México could again increase the "short" mechanism.
At November 15, 2002, the monetary base totaled Ps. 220,619 million, a 2.2% nominal decrease as compared to the level of Ps. 225,580 million at December 31, 2001. Banco de México estimates that the monetary base will total approximately Ps. 248,138 million at December 31, 2002.
During the first eight months of 2002, the M1a money supply increased by 15.5% in real terms as compared with the same period of 2001. This trend was due primarily to the lower interest rates observed during the first eight months of 2002 and the increase in the rate of economic growth in the second quarter of 2002. In addition, checking account deposits denominated in pesos increased by 10.6% in real terms during the first eight months of 2002 as compared with the same period of 2001.
During the first eight months of 2002, financial savings increased by 7.7% in real terms as compared with the same period of 2001. Savings generated by Mexican residents increased by 8.4% in real terms, whereas savings generated by non-residents decreased by 10.7% in real terms.
157
Banking System
In connection with the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, amendments to several laws relating to financial services, including the Banking Law and theLey del Mercado de Valores (Securities Market Law), became effective on January 1, 1994. These measures permit non-Mexican financial groups and financial intermediaries, through Mexican subsidiaries, to engage in various activities in the Mexican financial system, including banking and securities activities. On April 20, 1994, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit issued regulations that implemented these amendments, as well as provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement dealing with financial services and any future trade agreements incorporating similar provisions. These regulations set forth rules under which Canadian and U.S. financial institutions (and other foreign financial institutions acting through Canadian or U.S. affiliates) are permitted to establish or acquire Mexican financial institutions and financial holding companies. Pursuant to these rules, the aggregate net capital of Mexican commercial banks controlled by foreign financial institutions established pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement and other trade treaties, excluding Mexican banks acquired pursuant to a program approved by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, could not exceed 25% of the total net capitalization of all Mexican banks until January 1, 2000.
In December 1998, Congress approved legislation introducing a package of financial and banking reforms which supplemented reforms in place since 1995. The 1998 reforms did not affect the general foreign ownership restrictions under the Banking Law and the North American Free Trade Agreement regulations discussed above. Under the 1998 reforms, all remaining restrictions on foreign ownership of the largest Mexican banks were removed. Foreign ownership was previously restricted in any Mexican bank whose net capital exceeded 6% of the aggregate net capital of all Mexican banks. In addition, the aggregate foreign shareholdings of Mexican-controlled banks was limited to 49% and no foreign shareholder was authorized to own, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the equity of any Mexican bank (or 20%, with the approval of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit). Those limits did not, however, apply to any foreign financial institution that acquired control (i.e., more than 51% of the common stock) of a smaller-sized Mexican bank (i.e., one whose net capital did not exceed 6% of the Mexican banking system's aggregate net capital).
The Banking Law was amended on June 4, 2001 to:
- •
- enhance corporate governance by (1) expanding minority shareholders' rights, (2) introducing independent board members, and (3) requiring an audit committee of the board of directors;
- •
- improve the framework for banking operations by (1) providing adequate regulation regarding the provision of banking services using new technologies, (2) allowing banks to offer additional services, and (3) setting a new framework for related operations; and
- •
- strengthen regulation and surveillance while reducing their cost by (1) introducing prompt corrective actions based on banks' capitalization levels, (2) defining responsibilities and activities of the various financial authorities, and (3) expanding the role of external auditors.
Banking Supervision and Support
The 1994-95 peso devaluation and ensuing financial crisis created concerns about the stability of the Mexican banking system. The devaluation, higher domestic interest rates and contraction in real GDP combined to weaken the quality of the assets of Mexican banks, caused the capitalization of several banks to fall below the minimum required levels and created funding difficulties for many banks.
The weakening of the banking system prompted the Mexican Government to enact policies aimed at increasing the capitalization of Mexican banks. New reserve requirements were introduced by Banco de México to facilitate the regulation of liquidity. Pursuant to these requirements, which took effect on
158
March 11, 1995, a bank that overdraws its account with Banco de México must subsequently deposit funds, and maintain amounts on deposit, at least equal to the amount of the overdraft. Substantial fines may be imposed if a bank fails to make and maintain such deposits. The new reserve requirements were intended to reduce Banco de México's daily net extension of credit. In addition, effective January 1, 1997, Banking Circular 1343 issued by the National Banking and Securities Commission, or "CNBV," adopted significant changes in the accounting practices applicable to Mexican commercial banks and development banks, with the intent of making those practices more consistent with international accounting standards, including U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In response to the 1994-95 financial crisis, the Mexican Government took a number of other steps to support the banking system, including:
- •
- The establishment of the Temporary Capitalization Program, or "PROCAPTE," a voluntary program to assist viable but undercapitalized banks, under which the Banking Fund for the Protection of Savings, or "FOBAPROA," advanced funds to participating banks in exchange for five-year, mandatorily convertible bonds. In March 1995, five commercial banks obtained support through PROCAPTE. By May 1995, the value of bonds issued through PROCAPTE reached Ps. 7,008 million. In February of 1997, the last bank participating in PROCAPTE liquidated its total participation, thus concluding the PROCAPTE program.
- •
- Through FOBAPROA, the Mexican Government made foreign exchange available through a foreign exchange credit window to help banks meet dollar liquidity needs. Outstanding drawings under this program reached their highest point of U.S. $3.8 billion in April 1995, and were completely repaid by August 31, 1995. No such drawings were made after that date.
- •
- Mexican law was amended to broaden the scope for investment by foreign and Mexican investors in the equity of Mexican financial institutions.
- •
- The CNBV was, through amendment of the banking laws, granted enhanced powers of administrative and management intervention in financial holdings companies. The CNBV also increased its supervisory activities through closer and more frequent inspections and heightened reporting requirements.
- •
- Beginning in March 1995, the Mexican Government announced a series of debtor support programs, discussed below, designed to help financial institutions and their debtors restructure the large number of past-due loans caused by the financial crisis and the ensuing increase in domestic interest rates and economic recession.
- •
- In 1995 and 1996, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit approved recapitalization plans for twelve of Mexico's financial institutions, many of which involved strategic investments by foreign financial institutions and the purchase by FOBAPROA of large portions of the loan portfolios of the affected banks.
- •
- Beginning in 1994, the CNBV exercised its authority to intervene in the management of a number of Mexican financial institutions, including the Cremi/Union financial group in 1994, Grupo Financiero Asemex-Banpaís, S.A. de C.V. and its banking and insurance subsidiaries in 1995 and Banco Capital, S.A. and Banco del Sureste, S.A. in 1996.
In 1998, the Mexican Government's program to rescue troubled banks, which was first implemented in 1995, was restructured. Under the revised scheme, FOBAPROA was replaced by the Bank Savings Insurance Institute, or "IPAB," which assumed FOBAPROA's assets and liabilities, except for certain liabilities that were explicitly excluded under the financial reforms. IPAB also manages a deposit insurance program. During 1999, IPAB commenced a transition program under which deposit insurance limits are being introduced gradually. By 2005, deposit insurance will be limited to 400,000Unidades de Inversión ("UDIs," units of account whose value in pesos is indexed to inflation on a daily
159
basis, as measured by the change in the national consumer price index), per person or entity, per institution. For November 25, 2002, one UDI is set at Ps. 3.19443.
The Congress allocates funds to IPAB on an annual basis to manage and service IPAB's net liabilities, but those liabilities generally have not become public sector debt as had been originally proposed. In emergency situations, IPAB is permitted to contract additional financing in an amount not exceeding 6% of the total liabilities of banking institutions without congressional authorization. At June 30, 2002, IPAB's debt totaled Ps. 810.9 billion.
In addition to Mexico's auctions of debt securities in the domestic market, IPAB announced on January 6, 2000 that it planned to sell peso-denominated debt securities in Mexico. On March 1, 2000, IPAB conducted its first offering of peso-denominated debt securities, placing Ps. 1.0 billion of three-year Savings Protection Bonds. These Savings Protection Bonds pay interest monthly at a rate (reset monthly) equal to the higher of the 28-dayCetes rate or the rate applicable to one-month bank notes (Pagarés con Rendimiento Liquidable al Vencimiento). IPAB is using the proceeds of these sales to service its maturing obligations, to improve the maturity profile of its indebtedness and to reduce its financing costs. IPAB's securities are sold through auctions conducted by Banco de México.
In addition to its other activities, IPAB is now in the process of disposing of the loan portfolios and other assets acquired by FOBAPROA during the 1994-96 period. Significant transactions include the following:
- •
- In October 1999, Banco Mercantil del Norte, S.A. "Banorte" won the bidding to administer, for a period of four years, part of the loan portfolio of Banca Serfin, S.A. IPAB took control of Serfin in July 1999, but the loans sold were assumed by IPAB's predecessor, FOBAPROA, between June 1995 and January 1997. Banorte bid Ps. 2,582 million for the administrative and collection rights to the portfolio, which consists of Ps. 25 billion face value of non-performing loans. The proceeds of the sale are being applied to IPAB's liabilities.
- •
- In November 1999, a consortium of financial institutions led by Goldman, Sachs & Co. won the bidding to administer and collect, for a period of four years, part of the loan portfolio of Banco Union, S.A. The consortium bid Ps. 842.6 million for the administration and collection rights to the portfolio, which consists of Ps. 7,639 million face value of non-performing loans. In addition to the proceeds of the sale, IPAB will receive a portion of the loan repayments collected by the consortium.
- •
- In March 2000, Firstcity Commercial Corporation won the bidding to acquire part of the loan portfolio of Banco Santander Mexicano. Firstcity Commercial Corporation submitted a bid worth Ps. 1,431.8 million for the loan portfolio, which bears a principal amount of Ps. 6,943 million.
- •
- On March 9, 2000, IPAB announced that Deutsche Bank, in association with JE Robert, signed a contract with BanCrecer, S.A. ("BanCrecer"), to administer and collect part of the loan portfolio of BanCrecer. IPAB had taken control of BanCrecer in November 1999. Fénix Administración de Activos, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank and JE Robert, will assume the administration of the portfolio for a period of four years. BanCrecer's portfolio is valued at Ps. 51,416 million.
- •
- In May 2000, Grupo Financiero Santander Mexicano won the bidding to acquire 100% of the stock of Grupo Financiero Serfin, S.A. Grupo Financiero Santander Mexicano bid Ps. 14,650 million, representing 159% of Grupo Financiero Serfin, S.A.'s book value at March 31, 2000.
- •
- In August 2000, Grupo Financiero Bancomer acquired 100% of the stock of Banca Promex for Ps. 562.2 million, representing the value of Banca Promex's capital, plus a premium payment of Ps. 1,424.3 million and 145,775,000 shares of Grupo Financiero Bancomer's Series O stock. The
160
- •
- Grupo Financiero Inverlat ("GFI") was recapitalized on November 30, 2000 through the acquisition by The Bank of Nova Scotia ("Scotiabank") of 55% of GFI's capital stock. In that transaction, IPAB received Ps. 1,836 million plus an additional $40 million from Scotiabank for a 45% interest in GFI, which, in addition to a 10% interest already held by Scotiabank, resulted in Scotiabank controlling 55% of the outstanding capital stock of GFI. IPAB still retains a 36% interest in GFI, which it intends to sell by the end of 2003. The remaining 9% of the capital stock of GFI is to be distributed among the eligible original shareholders of GFI. In addition to the proceeds from the GFI transaction, from January through September 2000, IPAB received Ps. 1,460 million from GFI's loan recoveries and asset sales.
- •
- In June 2001, IPAB announced that Firstcity Commercial was the winning bidder in the auction to acquire three bundles of commercial and industrial loans of Banco Santander Mexicano. Firstcity Commercial submitted a bid of Ps. 474 million for the loan portfolio, which has a face value of Ps. 3,075 million.
- •
- In September 2001, IPAB transferred 100% of the shares of BanCrecer to Banco Mercantil del Norte, S.A. ("Banorte"). Banorte had bid Ps. 1,650 million for the shares. Once the shares have been transferred to Banorte, IPAB will receive proceeds from the sale of loan portfolios and assets as well as the collection rights to the administered portfolios. The net value of the assets to be transferred is expected to reach approximately Ps. 2,500 million.
- •
- In October 2001, IPAB announced the sale of a bundle of commercial and industrial loans of BanCrecer and its trust division, for which IPAB was offered Ps. 198 million at auction. The net proceeds from this transaction represent 16% of the portfolio's face value of Ps. 1,239 million.
- •
- In December 2001, IPAB announced the sale, directly and through its trust division, of commercial and industrial property loans of BanCrecer. GMAC Commercial Mortgage submitted a bid of just over Ps. 179 million for the portfolio. 236 loans comprised the portfolio, and the proceeds from the transaction represent 14.01% of the portfolio's face value at July 31, 2001 of Ps. 1,278 million.
total purchase price represented approximately 500% of the value of Banca Promex's stock at June 30, 2000.
The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit issued new rules governing the capitalization requirements of Mexican commercial banks effective on January 1, 2000. These rules require Mexican commercial banks to:
- •
- gradually reduce to 20% the amount of deferred taxes arising from fiscal losses that may be included as Tier 1 capital by January 1, 2003;
- •
- include all new issuances of subordinated convertible debt as Tier 2 capital. Outstanding subordinated mandatorily convertible debt, subject to current limitations, will remain as Tier 1 capital until its maturity or conversion;
- •
- gradually remove investments in non-financial companies and companies whose shares are not traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange from Tier 1 capital by January 1, 2003, except where those investments result from the capitalization of restructured loans; and
- •
- remove from Tier 2 capital certain specific assets, including credit card debt, mortgages and commercial loans, and establish general loan loss reserves for these types of assets.
The new rules also allow Mexican commercial banks, as part of a capitalization program, to issue cumulative and noncumulative subordinated debt securities through a special purpose vehicle, providing them with a new financing alternative in international markets. These new instruments will have a minimum maturity of 10 years, will be unsecured and deeply subordinated and will provide for the
161
deferral (cumulative) or cancellation (noncumulative) of interest payments in certain circumstances and payment of the face value at the maturity date. Subject to limitations, noncumulative instruments may be included as Tier 1 capital.
During the second half of 2000, the Mexican Government continued to establish rules and criteria for the regulation of banking institutions in accordance with accepted international practices. In September 2000, the Mexican Government issued new rules for classifying the quality of loan portfolios of commercial banking institutions. At the same time, the rules governing the capitalization requirements of commercial banks were modified. In October 2000, the Mexican Government announced new rules for classifying the credit portfolios of development banks as well as new capitalization requirements for development banks.
At December 31, 2001, calculated in accordance with the accounting criteria applicable to credit institutions since the beginning of 1997, the total amount of past-due loans of commercial banks (excluding banks under Mexican Government intervention and those in special situations) was Ps. 47,150 million, as compared with Ps. 54,700 million at December 31, 2000. This decline was primarily due to write-offs and recoveries made by some banks. On the other hand, the total loan portfolio of the banking system decreased by 1.2% in real terms during the last quarter of 2001. As a consequence, the past-due loans ratio of commercial banks was 5.1% at December 31, 2001, as compared with 5.8% at December 31, 2000. Loan loss reserves created by commercial banks (excluding banks under Mexican Government intervention and those in special situations) totaled Ps. 58,377 million at December 31, 2001, as compared with Ps. 63,117 million at December 31, 2000. At this level, commercial banks had reserves covering 123.8% of their past-due loans, exceeding the minimum reserve level of 45% required by the applicable accounting criteria.
At the end of June 2002, and as reported in accordance with the accounting criteria applicable to credit institutions since the beginning of 1997, the total amount of past-due loans of commercial banks (excluding banks under Mexican Government intervention and those in special situations) was Ps. 47,925 million, as compared with Ps. 47,150 million at December 31, 2001. This increasing trend was primarily due to the raises in commercial past-due loans registered by some banks. The total loan portfolio of the banking system decreased by 1.1% in real terms during the first half of 2002. This decrease was the result of reductions observed in mortgage loans as well as loans to the Government and IPAB. The past-due loan ratio of commercial banks was 5.1% at June 30, 2002, as compared with 5.0% at December 31, 2001. The amount of loan loss reserves created by commercial banks (excluding banks under Mexican Government intervention and those in special situations) totaled Ps. 64,120 million at the end of June 2002, as compared with Ps. 58,377 million at December 31, 2001 and Ps. 63,117 million at December 31, 2000. At this level, commercial banks have reserves covering 133.8% of their past-due loans, exceeding the minimum reserve level of 45% required by the applicable accounting criteria.
On June 1, 2001, the Organic Law of theBanco Nacional del Ahorro y Servicios Financieros (National Saving and Financial Services Bank) became effective. This law seeks to improve and strengthen the institutional framework for popular savings and to incorporate more people into the formal financial system by creating a National Savings and Financial Services Bank. The purpose of the law is to:
- •
- provide savings and lending services to people who do not have access to traditional financial institutions; and
- •
- create a financial culture among low-income sectors.
162
On June 4, 2001, the Mutual and Investment Funds Law went into effect. The reform aims to develop financial intermediaries other than banks, thus allowing retail investors to participate in a more transparent and liquid securities market. The goals of the reform are to:
- •
- introduce the concept of investment fund distributors; and
- •
- avoid conflicts of interest between investment funds and operating companies by (1) requiring that one third of the members of the board of each investment fund be independent and (2) precluding brokerage houses and banks from acting directly as operating companies.
The Securities Market
The Mexican Stock Exchange is Mexico's only stock exchange and is located in Mexico City. The Mexican Stock Exchange is organized as a corporation with shares owned by 31 brokerage firms, each of which is authorized to trade on the exchange floor. Both debt and equity securities are traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange, including stocks and bonds of private sector corporations, equity certificates or shares issued by banks, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposit, Mexican Government debt and special hedging instruments linked to the dollar. Currently, institutional investors are the most active participants in the Mexican Stock Exchange, although retail investors also play a role in the market. The Mexican equity market is one of Latin America's largest in terms of market capitalization, but it remains relatively small and illiquid compared to major world markets.
Effective June 1, 2001, the Securities Market Law was amended to promote the securities market by making it more transparent, liquid and efficient and to include stricter corporate governance rules, which are intended to strengthen the rights of minority shareholders of public companies and brokerage houses, among other things. The amendments require issuers of securities to appoint an audit committee of the board which will have full access to the issuer's information, appoint independent board members and limit the amount of non-voting and voting-restricted stock they issue. In addition, the reforms introduce provisions that are intended to regulate the duties of board members and the legal responsibility of board members when acting in violation of such duties. The amendments also broaden the scope of insider trading provisions and introduce more severe penalties for insider trading violations.
The market capitalization of the Mexican Stock Exchange was U.S. $126.6 billion at the end of 2001, representing a 0.7% increase in dollar terms from its year-end 2000 level. The value of transactions on the Mexican Stock Exchange reached U.S. $72.6 billion in 2001, 38.5% more than in 2000. Fixed income securities (i.e., commercial paper, notes, bonds and ordinary participation certificates) accounted for 1.1% and equity securities (i.e., shares and certificates of patrimonial contribution) accounted for the remaining 98.9% of transactions.
At August 30, 2002, the Stock Market Index stood at 6,216.43 points, representing a 2.4% decrease in nominal peso terms and a 5.6% decrease in real peso terms from the level at December 31, 2001.

Recent Commercial Legislation
On April 27, 2000, the Mexican Congress passed into law the Commercial Reorganization and Bankruptcy Act, a new framework for business reorganizations and for bankruptcy proceedings, which is intended to result in greater legal certainty and swifter case resolution for debtors and creditors involved in the insolvency process. The new law replaces one that had been in place since 1943. Among its provisions, the new law limits the period of time in which insolvent debtors may reach a reorganization agreement with their creditors before a liquidation of the debtor is imposed. The new law also establishes a Federal Institute of Reorganization and Bankruptcy Specialists, which is intended to coordinate the provision of certain technical support in reorganization cases and to ensure that the professionals assigned to provide such support meet certain ethical and professional requirements.
On April 30, 2000, the Mexican Congress passed into law the Miscellany of Secured Lending, which amends the Commerce Code, the General Law of Negotiable Instruments and Credit Transactions and the Credit Institutions Law. The new law is intended to promote the availability of credit to small- and medium-size businesses by allowing a wider range of assets to be used as collateral for new borrowing. It recognizes two new types of security interests, a pledge while the borrower retains possession of the collateral and a collateral trust where a trustee holds the collateral for the benefit of the lender. Under the new law, if a debtor defaults on its obligation to a creditor who holds either type of security interest, the obligation may be satisfied by the transfer of the collateral to the creditor. In such a case, if the value of collateral exceeds the value of the obligation, the creditor will be obligated to compensate the debtor for the difference. The new law also provides for an expedited procedure for creditors to execute judgments against security interests.
External Sector of the Economy
Foreign Trade
�� In 2001, Mexico registered a trade deficit of U.S. $9,953.6 million, as compared with a trade deficit of U.S. $8,003.0 million for 2000. Merchandise exports decreased by 4.8% in 2001, to U.S. $158,442.9 million, as compared with U.S. $166,454.8 million in 2000. In 2001, petroleum exports decreased by 21.9% and non-petroleum exports decreased by 3.0%, in each case as compared with 2000. Exports of manufactured goods, which represented 89.2% of total merchandise exports, decreased by 2.7% in 2001, as compared with 2000. Total imports were U.S. $168,396.5 million in 2001, a 3.5% decrease as compared with 2000. Imports of intermediate goods decreased by 5.6%, imports of capital goods decreased by 6.8% and imports of consumer goods increased by 18.3% in 2001, each as compared with 2000.
During the first six months of 2002, Mexico registered a trade deficit of U.S. $3,191 million, as compared with a trade deficit of U.S. $3,968 million for the same period of 2001. Merchandise exports decreased by 2.8% during the first six months of 2002, to U.S. $78,178 million, as compared with U.S. $80,417 million in the first six months of 2001. During the first six months of 2002, petroleum exports decreased by 6.4%, and non-petroleum exports decreased by 2.4%, in each case as compared with the same period of 2001. Exports of manufactured goods, which represented 88.3% of total merchandise exports, decreased by 2.4% during the first six months of 2002, as compared with the same period of 2001. Total imports were U.S. $81,369 million during the first six months of 2002, a 3.6% decrease as compared with the same period of 2001. Imports of intermediate goods decreased by 3.9%, imports of capital goods decreased by 8.0% and imports of consumer goods increased by 4.1% during the first six months of 2002, each as compared with the first six months of 2001.
Balance of International Payments
According to preliminary figures, during 2001, Mexico's current account registered a deficit of U.S. $17,915 million, or 2.9% of GDP, U.S. $196 million less than the current account deficit registered in
164
2000. The capital account registered a surplus of U.S. $24,173 million in 2001, as compared with a surplus of U.S. $17,786 million in 2000. The increase was principally due to an inflow of long-term external resources, such as foreign direct investment flows. In addition, there was an inflow of resources resulting from the reduction of assets held abroad by Mexican residents. At the same time, there was a modest inflow of foreign portfolio investment in equity securities and significant reductions in indebtedness of the public sector and Banco de México. Total foreign investment in Mexico reached U.S. $28,636 million in 2001, as a result of an inflow of U.S. $24,731 million in direct foreign investment and an inflow of U.S. $3,882 million of net foreign portfolio investment.
According to preliminary figures, during the first half of 2002, Mexico's current account registered a deficit of 2.1% of GDP, or U.S. $6,804 million. The capital account surplus for the first half of 2002 totaled U.S. $8,740 million. During the first half of 2002, direct foreign investment totaled U.S. $6,134 million and portfolio investment (including securities placed abroad) registered an outflow of U.S. $835 million.
In August 1996, the Foreign Exchange Commission, comprised of members of the Ministry of Finance and Banco de México, announced a plan to increase Mexico's reserves by conducting monthly auctions of options to sell U.S. dollars to Banco de México. The auctions took place among commercial banks, which could assign their rights arising therefrom.
The auctions allowed Banco de México to accumulate international assets without creating distortions in the currency markets. Through this mechanism, Banco de México has accumulated U.S. $12,117 million in reserves since the auctions were introduced in 1996. At May 11, 2001, the net international assets of Banco de México totaled U.S. $40,732 million, a level sufficiently high to justify the suspension of the accumulation by this mechanism. Accordingly, on May 18, 2001, the Foreign Exchange Commission decided to suspend until further notice the sale of options after the auction held June 29, 2001.
At December 31, 2001, Mexico's international reserves totaled U.S. $40,880 million, an increase of U.S. $7,325 million from the level at December 29, 2000. The net international assets of Banco de México totaled U.S. $44,857 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of U.S. $9,223 million from the level at December 29, 2000. At November 15, 2002, Mexico's international reserves totaled U.S. $44,948 million, an increase of U.S. $4,068 million from the level at December 31, 2001. The net international assets of Banco de México totaled U.S. $46,122 million at November 15, 2002, an increase of U.S. $1,265 million from the level at December 31, 2001.
Direct Foreign Investment in Mexico
During 2001, direct foreign investment in Mexico notified to the National Foreign Investment Commission totaled approximately U.S. $24.8 billion. Total accumulated direct foreign investment in Mexico during the 1997-2001 period amounted to approximately U.S. $72.3 billion. Of the total direct foreign investment accumulated during the 1997-2001 period, excluding that in securities, 48.6% has been channeled to industry, 50.4% to services, 0.7% to mining and 0.3% to agriculture and fishing.
During 2001, net foreign investment in Mexico, as recorded in the balance of payments, totaled U.S. $28.6 billion, and was comprised of direct foreign investment of U.S. $24.8 billion and portfolio investment of U.S. $3.9 billion. During the first half of 2002, net foreign investment in Mexico, as recorded in the balance of payments, totaled U.S. $5.3 billion and was comprised of direct foreign investment of U.S. $6.1 billion and portfolio investment of U.S. $(0.8) billion.
Exchange Controls and Foreign Exchange Rates
Since December 22, 1994, the Mexican Government has maintained a floating exchange rate policy, with Banco de México intervening in the foreign exchange market from time to time to
165
minimize volatility and ensure an orderly market. The Mexican Government has also promoted market-based mechanisms for stabilizing the exchange rate, such as over-the-counter forward and options contracts between banks and their clients in Mexico, and authorization of peso futures trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In addition, since October 1996, Banco de México has permitted foreign financial institutions to open peso-denominated accounts and to borrow and lend pesos (subject to general restrictions on conducting banking activities in Mexico).
In February 1997, the Foreign Exchange Commission established a program enabling Banco de México to sell up to U.S. $200 million of dollars to Mexican commercial banks pursuant to an auction mechanism on any day in which the peso/dollar exchange rate applicable to the payment of obligations denominated in foreign currencies exceeds the corresponding rate on the preceding business day by more than 2%. This mechanism was adopted with the aim of moderating the volatility of the peso/dollar exchange rate, while maintaining the Mexican Government's freely floating exchange rate regime.
On August 26, 1998, the Foreign Exchange Commission decided to allow Banco de México to increase the number of currency auctions held per day from two to three, in order to increase the likelihood that Banco de México would sell the entire maximum amount of U.S. $200 million on any day it chose to use the auction program. From October 27, 1997 through July 2, 2001, Banco de México sold U.S. $1,900 million under this program, auctioning dollars on October 27 and 30 and November 6, 1997, January 12, May 27, August 21 and 26, September 10 and 21 and October 8, 1998, January 12 and 13 and May 25, 1999 and on June 8, 2000.
On September 10, 1998, in response to continuing steep declines in the value of the peso, Banco de México sold a total of U.S. $478 million. U.S. $200 million of this amount was sold under the auction program, and the remainder was sold as an extraordinary direct sale of dollars at market rates, the first extraordinary intervention by Banco de México in the foreign currency market since December 1995.
The Foreign Exchange Commission resolved on May 18, 2001 to suspend use of the auction mechanism for the contingent sale of dollars. The suspension took effect as of July 2, 2001.
During 2001, the average peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate was Ps. 9.339 = U.S. $1.00. During the first six months of 2002, the monthly average peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate was Ps. 9,284 = U.S. $1.00. The peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate announced by Banco de México on November 15, 2002 (to take effect on the second business day thereafter) was Ps. 10.2484 = U.S. $1.00.
Public Finance
Fiscal Policy
The rationalization of public expenditure and the augmentation of revenue have been important components of the Mexican Government's economic stabilization strategy. The Mexican Government's fiscal policy has had two fundamental objectives: to establish the macroeconomic foundation for sustained growth and to focus the Mexican Government's resources on those sectors in which the Mexican Government can have the greatest impact in supporting social development and the competitiveness of the Mexican economy.
At present, the Mexican Government's principal short-term fiscal policy objectives, in addition to countering inflation, are:
- •
- strengthening economic activity and exports;
- •
- maintaining an adequate surplus in the Mexican Government's primary balance while incurring only a moderate public sector deficit;
- •
- continuing to promote fiscal federalism; and
166
- •
- increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of the economy and the effectiveness of the tax collection system.
The Mexican Government's principal fiscal policy objectives over the medium-term are:
- •
- significantly reducing the inflation rate to levels approximating those of Mexico's major trading partners;
- •
- consolidating the process of sustainable economic growth;
- •
- promoting private sector savings;
- •
- continuing to modernize the economy; and
- •
- strengthening social policy through increased real spending on social development.
2002 Budget
On January 1, 2002, the Mexican Congress approved the Federal Annual Revenue Law for 2002 and the Federal Expenditure Budget for 2002 (collectively, the "2002 Budget"). The principal objectives of the 2002 Budget are to maintain sound public finances and a tight fiscal stance in order to promote a more stable economic environment, higher domestic savings and investment rates and higher employment rates. The 2002 Budget contemplates a public sector deficit of 0.65% of GDP for 2002.
In response to the decline in international oil prices at the end of 2001, the 2002 budget was based upon an estimated weighted average price of Mexico's oil exports of U.S. $15.50 per barrel and an estimated volume of oil exports of 1.725 million barrels per day. Because both of these estimates are lower than the estimates used to formulate the Mexican Government's proposed budget, the 2002 Budget assumes Ps. 20 billion less in revenue than originally forecast in the Mexican Government's proposed budget. This anticipated shortfall has been partially compensated through the utilization of Ps. 8 billion from Mexico's oil stabilization fund. In order to raise additional revenue to compensate for the budget shortfall, the 2002 Budget also includes the following measures, among others:
- •
- modifications to the Income Tax Law, such as the equalization of the maximum tax rates for individuals and corporations, a reduction in the number of tax brackets and the implementation of an immediate private investment deduction;
- •
- elimination of certain government subsidies paid to private sector employees;
- •
- new or increased excise taxes on telecommunications, soft drinks (temporarily suspended by presidential decree on March 5, 2002), cigars, cigarettes and alcohol;
- •
- a 5% tax on certain luxury goods and services; and
- •
- replacement of the accrued simplified system with a cash flow based system for collecting value-added taxes.
Under the 2002 Budget, the Mexican Government estimates that it will devote Ps. 258,691 million (25.2% of total budgetary programmable expenditures) to education and Ps. 284,355 million (27.7% of total budgetary programmable expenditures) to health and social security.
The Mexican Government also expects that it will devote Ps. 67,752 million (6.6% of total budgetary programmable expenditures) to regional and urban development and Ps. 16,425 million (1.6% of total budgetary programmable expenditures) to social spending and nutrition. In addition, the 2002 Budget contemplates that Ps. 176,478 million will be used for the debt service of the Mexican Government and that Ps. 29,933 million will be used for the debt service of the public sector agencies included in the 2002 Budget.

Revenues and Expenditures
In 2001, public sector budgetary revenues were less than public sector budgetary expenditures (excluding off-budget revenues and expenditures of the public sector) by approximately Ps. 39,920.2 million in nominal terms, or approximately Ps. 11,058.2 million in constant pesos with purchasing power at December 31, 1993, reflecting a decrease of 37.9% in real terms over the surplus for 2000. The public sector primary balance was approximately Ps. 150,359.2 million in nominal terms, or approximately Ps. 41,650.7 million in constant pesos with purchasing power at December 31, 1993, reflecting a decrease of 1.5% in real terms as compared to the public sector primary balance for 2000. The overall public sector balance registered a deficit of Ps. 42,050.3 million in nominal terms, or approximately Ps. 11,648.3 million in constant pesos with purchasing power at December 31, 1993, reflecting a decrease of 34.8% in real terms as compared to the surplus for the same period of 2000.
In 2001, public sector revenues were negatively affected by: (1) less dynamic economic activity; (2) the strength of the Mexican peso with respect to the U.S. dollar; and (3) the reduction in the volume of oil exports agreed with other oil producing countries to stabilize medium-term oil prices. These factors caused budgetary revenues to be Ps. 33.8 billion lower than projected in the 2001 Budget.
In accordance with the automatic adjustment mechanism contained in Article 32 of the 2001 Budget, and in response to the lower than projected revenues, the Mexican Government cut expenditures in order to meet the fiscal targets for 2001. Mexico cut expenditures by Ps. 3.4 billion during the first quarter of 2001, by Ps. 6.8 billion during the second quarter of 2001, by Ps. 3.0 billion during the third quarter of 2001, and by Ps. 3.0 billion during the fourth quarter of 2001. As a result of these adjustments, the public sector recorded an overall deficit of Ps. 42.1 billion, or 0.7% of GDP, in 2001, slightly lower than the deficit recorded in 2000.
The overall primary balance registered a surplus in 2001 of Ps. 150.4 billion in nominal pesos (approximately 2.6% of nominal GDP) and Ps. 41.7 billion in constant 1993 pesos, 0.6% lower in real terms than the primary balance registered in 2000.
168
The public sector registered an overall surplus of Ps. 23.9 billion in nominal pesos in the first half of 2002, and the primary balance registered a surplus of Ps. 121.0 billion in nominal pesos, 0.7% lower in real terms as compared to the same period of 2001.
In accordance with the automatic adjustment mechanism contained in Article 32 of the 2002 Budget, and in response to the lower than projected revenues, the Government cut expenditures by Ps. 10.1 billion during the first quarter of 2002 in order to meet its fiscal targets for 2002. This expenditure reduction is not reflected in the expenditure estimates described elsewhere in this section. Due to higher than expected revenues in the second quarter of 2002, the Government did not cut expenditures in the second quarter of 2002. However, further expenditure reductions could be required if revenues were to deteriorate.
Public Debt
Internal Public Debt
Internal debt is presented herein on a "net" basis, and includes the internal debt of the Mexican Government and budget-controlled agencies, excluding Banco de México's general account balance (which was positive at June 28, 2002, indicating monies owed to the Mexican Government) and the assets of theFondo del Sistema de Ahorro Para el Retiro (the Retirement Savings System Fund). In addition, net internal debt includesCetes and other securities sold to the public in primary auctions, but not such debt allocated to Banco de México for its use in regulating liquidity ("Regulación Monetaria"). See footnote 2 to the table "Net Internal Public Debt" below. Internal debt does not include the debt of IPAB. See "—Financial System—Banking Supervision and Support."
In 2001, the Mexican Government continued to pursue an internal debt strategy aimed at lengthening the average maturity of its debt in order to reduce its refinancing risk. To further this goal, the Mexican Government in the past has introduced new instruments of longer maturities. In the last quarter of 1999, the Mexican Government offered for the first time 10-year UDI-denominated securities and guaranteed 30-year UDI-indexed bonds. In January 2000, the Mexican Government began offering three-year fixed rate peso-denominated bonds.
In addition to the three-year fixed rate peso-denominated debt securities that were first issued in January 2000, the Mexican Government issued five-year fixed rate peso-denominated securities in May 2000. In July 2001, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, through Banco de México, executed the first auction of ten-year fixed rate peso-denominated bonds. This was the first time that an instrument of this type was offered in the domestic market. With the issuance of these securities, the Mexican Government intends to establish a long-dated benchmark yield curve and to begin to develop a long-term private domestic debt market. The Mexican Government anticipates that the issuance of these instruments will also encourage:
- •
- increased use of long-term fixed rate contracts;
- •
- the issuance of long-term peso-denominated securities by Mexican companies;
- •
- the development of long-term financial hedging products; and
- •
- the potential to direct long-term savings toward the financing of long-term investment projects.
At December 31, 2001, the net internal debt of the Mexican Government totaled U.S. $75.6 billion, an increase of U.S. $12.3 billion (or 19.4%) from the U.S. $63.3 billion outstanding at December 29, 2000. The increase in net internal debt was attributable to the fact that, as was the case in previous years, the Mexican Government financed its deficit primarily through borrowings in the domestic market. At the end of December 2001, the average maturity of internal debt was 748 days, as compared with 538 days at December 29, 2000.
169
At June 28, 2002, the net internal debt of the Government was U.S. $73.3 billion, as compared with U.S. $75.6 billion outstanding as of December 31, 2001. At the end of June 2002, the average maturity of internal debt was 793 days, as compared with 748 days at December 31, 2001.

- Does not include Tesobonos sold by Banco de México in open-market operations pursuant toRegulación Monetaria, which amounted to approximately U.S. $12.0 billion at December 31, 1994.Regulación Monetaria does not increase the Mexican Government's overall level of internal debt, because Banco de México must reimburse the Mexican Government for any allocated debt that Banco de México sells into the secondary market and that is presented to the Mexican Government for payment. If Banco de México undertakes extensive sales of allocated debt in the secondary market, however,Regulación Monetaria can result in a situation in which the level of outstanding internal debt is higher than the Mexican Government's figure for net internal debt.

External Public Debt
At December 31, 2001, Mexico's gross public external debt totaled U.S. $76.63 billion, 0.1% greater than the gross public external debt at December 29, 2000. Overall, total net public debt at December 31, 2001 represented approximately 23.3% of nominal GDP, 0.1 percentage points lower than at the end of 2000.
The following table sets forth a summary of the external public debt of Mexico, which includes the external debt of the Mexican Government, budget-controlled agencies and administratively controlled agencies, and a breakdown of such debt by currency. External public debt as used in this section does not include, among other things, repurchase obligations of Banco de México with the International Monetary Fund or the debt of IPAB.

- External debt denominated in foreign currencies other than dollars has been translated into dollars at exchange rates as of each of the dates indicated. External public debt does not include (a) repurchase obligations of Banco de México with the IMF (none of these were outstanding at June 28, 2002), (b) external borrowings by the public sector after June 28, 2002, including approximately U.S. $1.75 billion in capital market financings and (c) loans from the Commodity Credit Corporation to public sector Mexican banks. External debt is presented herein on a "gross" basis, and includes external obligations of the public sector at their full outstanding face or principal amount. For certain informational and statistical purposes, Mexico sometimes reports its external public sector debt on a "net" or "economic" basis, which is calculated as the gross debt net of certain financial assets held abroad. These financial assets include the value of principal and interest collateral on restructured debt and Mexican public sector external debt that is held by public sector entities but that has not been canceled.

Outstanding gross external debt decreased by approximately U.S. $2.4 billion in the first half of 2002, from U.S. $80.3 billion at December 31, 2001 to U.S. $78.0 billion at June 28, 2002. Of this amount, U.S. $73.7 billion represented long-term debt and U.S. $4.3 billion represented short-term debt.
Since December 31, 2001, the Mexican Government and public sector entities have issued the following debt securities in the international capital markets:
- •
- On January 7, 2002, Pemex Project Funding Master Trust (unconditionally guaranteed by Petróleos Mexicanos) issued U.S. $500,000,000 of Floating Rate Notes due 2005.
- •
- On January 14, 2002, the Mexican Government issued $1.5 billion of 7.5% Global Notes due 2012.
- •
- On February 1, 2002, Pemex Project Funding Master Trust (unconditionally guaranteed by Petróleos Mexicanos) issued U.S. $1,000,000,000 of 7.875% Notes due 2009 and U.S. $500,000,000 of 8.625% Bonds due 2022.

Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
General
PEMEX earns income from:
- •
- export sales, which consist primarily of sales of crude oil and refined products;
- •
- domestic sales, which consist of sales of natural gas, refined products (such as gasoline, diesel fuel and liquefied petroleum gas) and petrochemical products; and
- •
- other sources, including investment income and foreign exchange gains.
PEMEX's operating expenses include:
- •
- costs of sales (which include labor expenses), costs of operating, maintaining and repairing plants and equipment, purchases of refined petroleum and other products, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets (including estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs) and costs of increasing the reserve for exploration and depletion of oil fields;
- •
- expenses for transportation and distribution of our products;
- •
- administrative expenses; and
- •
- interest expense.
PEMEX's income is affected by a number of factors, including:
- •
- changes in international prices of crude oil and refined petroleum products, which are denominated in U.S. dollars, and domestic prices of petroleum products, which are denominated in pesos;
- •
- the type and volume of crude oil produced and exported;
- •
- the type and volume of natural gas produced and sold;
- •
- the results of development and exploration activities;
- •
- the amount of taxes and duties that the Mexican Government imposes on PEMEX;
- •
- Mexican inflation;
- •
- fluctuations in the peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate; and
- •
- Mexican and global economic conditions, including the levels of international interest rates.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Notes 2 and 19 to the Financial Statements. Some of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, management's view of trends in the oil and gas industry, both macroeconomic and within Mexico, economic factors in Mexico and information from outside sources. We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect management's more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and could potentially impact our financial results and future financial performance. Unless otherwise stated, the following critical accounting policies apply for both Mexican and U.S. GAAP purposes.
173
Exploration and Drilling Costs
Under Mexican GAAP, we annually determine a budgeted exploration and drilling cost per barrel based upon internal engineering studies. To determine the cost per barrel, we take into consideration the budgeted exploration and drilling costs, the estimated annual production of oil and gas and the estimated percentage of non-successful wells. The resulting per barrel amount is charged as costs of sales in our consolidated statement of income against the equity reserve established for exploration and drilling costs. Changes in the budgeted exploration and drilling cost per barrel would impact on our recorded cost of sales expense. Under U.S. GAAP, the budgeted exploration and drilling cost recognized as part of the equity reserve is reversed.
Successful Efforts Method of Oil and Gas Accounting
We apply the successful efforts method of oil and gas accounting. This accounting principle requires that capitalized costs for producing properties be amortized on the basis of crude oil and natural gas reserve quantities. Our reserve estimates are determined in accordance with earth science and petroleum engineering principles and practices in accordance with Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933 and can vary as a result of changes in such factors as forecasted oil and gas prices, reservoir performance, oil field technology and audits by independent engineers.
Downward revision in our reserve estimates can result in either: (a) higher depreciation and depletion expense per barrel in future periods, or (b) an immediate write-down of the asset's book value in accordance with accounting rules for the impairment of properties. The latter condition would result if the downward revisions were so significant that the estimated future cash flows from the remaining reserves in the field were insufficient to recover the unamortized capitalized costs. Conversely, if the oil and gas reserve quantities were revised upward, our future per-barrel depreciation and depletion expense would be lower.
The application of successful efforts accounting can also cause material fluctuations between periods in exploration expense if drilling results are different than expected or if we change our exploration and development plans. The determination that exploratory drilling was unsuccessful in finding economically producible reserves requires the immediate expensing of previously capitalized drilling costs.
Environmental Remediation, Asset Retirement Obligations
We also make judgments and estimates in recording liabilities for environmental cleanup as well as asset retirement obligations. Estimated liabilities for environmental remediation and asset retirement obligations are subject to change because of matters such as changes in laws, regulations and their interpretation, the determination of additional information on the extent and nature of site contamination, the determination of additional works which need to be undertaken, improvements in technology, timing of expenditures, and the foreign currency exchange rates to the extent that some of these costs are incurred in U.S. dollars. In addition, with respect to offshore properties, our historical dismantlement and plugging experiences have been very limited, and therefore, our estimates of the expected cost or salvage value may vary from what will actually be incurred for many of these long-term properties when these activities are ultimately undertaken.
While we believe that our environmental remediation and asset retirement obligation provisions are adequate and that the interpretations applied of existing law are appropriate, the amounts estimated for the future liabilities may differ materially from the costs that will actually be incurred to remediate our properties. If we determine that an insufficient environmental remediation or asset retirement obligation provision has been created, earnings will be adjusted as appropriate in the period that the determination is made.
174
Employee Benefit Plans
We provide a range of benefits to our current and retired employees, including pensions, post-retirement health care benefits and post-employment benefits (primarily health services and supplemental payments). We annually record amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by Mexican and U.S. GAAP, respectively, which include various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. As required by Mexican and U.S. GAAP, the effect of the modifications is generally recorded or amortized over future periods. We believe that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under our plans, which are presented in Notes 11 and 19 II(f) to the Financial Statements, are reasonable based on our experience and advice from our independent actuaries.
Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2001, we adopted Bulletin C-2 for Mexican GAAP purposes. Bulletin C-2 provides for the definition of financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments and requires that all financial instruments, with the exception of "held to maturity" investments and certain derivative instruments that qualify as hedges, to be recorded at fair value with the fair value adjustment recognized in earnings. Held to maturity investments are recorded at amortized cost subject to an impairment review. Unlike U.S. GAAP and its interpretations, which are described below, Bulletin C-2 is not descriptive when it comes to defining "embedded" derivatives or hedge effectiveness testing or documentation. To date, no additional interpretative guidance has been issued by MIPA, and therefore, our implementation of the standard is based on what we believe is best practice but may not be similar to the interpretation of other Mexican companies or any contemplated but not yet issued guidance by the MIPA. Should additional interpretative or best practice guidance be issued in the future, this may impact how we have accounted for our financial instruments under Bulletin C-2. Our determination of fair value of financial instruments for both Mexican and U.S. GAAP employed the same methodologies, which are further discussed below.
On January 1, 2001 we also adopted SFAS No. 133 for U.S. GAAP purposes, and in accordance with the current transition provisions of SFAS No. 133, we recorded a cumulative effect transition after tax decrease in net loss of Ps. 3,791.3 million to recognize the fair value of its derivatives and embedded derivatives at the date of adoption.
As quoted market prices for certain derivatives used by us are not readily available, the fair value of these derivatives has been calculated using common market valuation methods and value-influencing market data at the relevant balance sheet date as follows:
- •
- Short-term currency and crude oil forwards as well as crude oil, gas and oil product commodity swaps are valued at future rates or market prices as of the relevant balance sheet date. The fair values of forward contracts are based on spot prices that are calculated taking into account forward premiums or discounts quoted in the relevant markets.
- •
- Long-term commodity forward contracts are fair valued using forward markets quotes reflecting the underlying conditions and variables associated with the relevant contractual agreements.
- •
- Currency, crude oil and gas options and share options are fair valued using standard options pricing models. The fair value for caps, floors and collars embedded in these contracts is calculated separately, similar to stand-alone options.
- •
- Interest rate, interest rate cross currency and cross currency swaps are fair valued by using the expected cash flows over the remaining term of the individual contracts at the relevant balance
175
sheet date, discounted at market interest rates. Certain interest rate options are fair valued using option pricing models.
The use of valuation models requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding the volatility of derivative contracts at the balance sheet date, and actual results could differ significantly due to fluctuations in value-influencing market data. The valuation models for the interest rate and currency derivatives are based on calculations and valuations using a group-wide financial reporting system, which provides consistent market data and valuation algorithms throughout our organization. The algorithms used to obtain valuations are those which are commonly used in the financial markets. In certain cases, the calculated fair value of derivatives is compared with results which are produced by other market participants, including banks, as well as those available through other internally available systems. The valuations of commodity instruments are delivered utilizing common valuation techniques and models as described above.
Through internal guidelines (i.e. group-wide financial guidelines), we ensure that the derivatives used for risk management purposes are only utilized to hedge booked, contracted or planned underlying transactions. We calculate and assess market risks in accordance with the policies outlined in "Item 11—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."
Contracts providing for physical delivery in Mexico are currently accounted for as contracts with no derivative components, as no sufficient natural gas market mechanism or spot market exists in Mexico so as to allow us to classify gas as readily convertible to cash. In the future, it is possible that a sufficient market mechanism or spot market for natural gas could emerge resulting in a need to reassess the Mexican contracts for derivatives under SFAS No. 133. If any such reassessment resulted in contracts being accounted for as derivatives under SFAS No. 133, the impact on future operating results could be significant.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In addition to our oil and gas assets that could become impaired under the application of successful efforts accounting, other assets could become impaired and require write-down if circumstances warrant. Conditions that could cause our assets to become impaired include lower-than-forecasted commodity sales prices, changes in our business plans or a significant adverse change in the national or international business climate. The amount of an impairment charge would be based on estimates of an asset's fair value compared with its book value. While we believe that our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding project commodity sales prices, production costs and foreign currency exchange rates and inflation could materially affect the anticipated cash flows to be generated by the long-lived assets, thereby affecting the evaluations of the carrying values of the long-lived assets.
Sales Volumes and Prices
The profitability of our operations in any particular accounting period is directly related to the sales volume of, and average realized prices for, the crude oil and natural gas that we sell. The average realized prices for crude oil and natural gas fluctuate from one period to another due to world market conditions and other factors.
Export Volumes and Prices
Pemex-Exploration and Production sells crude oil to PMI, which then sells it to international clients. The volume of crude oil that we export is the volume delivered to international clients as adjusted for water content according to the bill of lading and standard market practice. We base our crude oil export price formulas on a basket of international reference prices and a constant set
176
according to specific market conditions. We determine export prices of petroleum products and natural gas by reference to market conditions and direct negotiations with our clients.
Significant changes in international crude oil prices directly affect our financial results. The impact of changes in crude oil prices on our refining activities and petrochemicals business depends on:
- •
- the magnitude of the change in crude oil prices;
- •
- how quickly petroleum and petrochemical product prices in international markets adjust to reflect changes in crude oil prices; and
- •
- the extent to which prices in Mexico, where we sell most of our petroleum products and petrochemicals, reflect international prices for those products.
The following table sets forth the weighted average price per barrel of crude oil that PMI received from exports to international customers and the average price of its benchmark, West Texas Intermediate crude oil, for the years indicated. Note that the average prices of West Texas Intermediate crude oil are higher than the average prices of crude oil that we export. This is primarily due to the higher cost of refining sour crude oils, which make up a majority of our exports. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—Business Overview—Exploration and Production—Crude Oil Sales."

Domestic Prices
Committees composed of officials of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities and representatives of various governmental agencies including, among others, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, the Ministry of Energy, SECODAM and the Ministry of Economy set the formulas that we use to determine prices for crude oil and petroleum products sold in the domestic market. Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities, together with the Mexican Government, pursue a policy that keeps domestic wholesale prices generally in line with international prices. We determine wholesale prices by reference to international prices, but make adjustments to reflect opportunity costs, transportation expenses and differences in the quality of our products relative to international benchmarks. The retail price is comprised of the wholesale price plus the value added tax, the retailer's margin and freight costs. The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit determines retail prices of gasoline and diesel before the beginning of each fiscal year in conjunction with the preparation of the Mexican Government's budget for that year. The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit also adjusts gasoline and diesel prices so that they are consistent with the Mexican Government's macroeconomic targets.
Our retail prices for gasoline and diesel reflect the addition of the IEPS Tax as described below, as well as the value added tax. We charge the IEPS Tax only on gasoline, diesel and natural gas sales for automotive use. See "—IEPS Tax, Excess Gains Duty, Hydrocarbon Duties and Other Taxes" below, for
177
a further discussion of the IEPS Tax. For financial statement purposes, the IEPS Tax is presented as part of Net Domestic Sales and then deducted after "Income before Hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production services and other."
Natural gas prices for domestic sale are calculated according to the Energy Regulatory Commission directives published on March 20, 1996. These prices reflect natural gas opportunity costs and competitive conditions in international markets and at the point of sale.

IEPS Tax, Excess Gains Duty, Hydrocarbon Duties and Other Taxes
The following table sets forth the taxes and duties that we paid each of the past three years.

Source: PEMEX's financial statements
The IEPS Tax has two effects: (1) it ensures that we retain the portion of our sales revenues that represents the adjusted international reference prices of our products, and (2) it gives the Mexican Government the difference between the domestic retail prices and adjusted international reference prices of diesel and gasoline.
When international prices decrease, our wholesale price will decrease and, as a result, the IEPS Tax that we collect from consumers and transfer to the Mexican Government will increase.
For automotive fuels, the IEPS Tax is equal to the retail price at which Pemex-Refining sells gasoline and automotive diesel to retailers less Pemex-Refining's wholesale price, value added tax and distribution costs. For natural gas, the IEPS Tax on Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals' natural gas sales for automotive consumption is linked to the retail price of unleaded regular gasoline and the international reference price of natural gas.
In addition to the IEPS Tax, we are subject to a number of other federal taxes and duties. In 2001, the sum of these taxes and duties totaled, and in 2002 the sum of these taxes and duties is expected to total, approximately 60.8% of the sales revenues of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities from sales to the PMI Group and to third parties. The IEPS Tax is credited against our hydrocarbon duties in arriving at our overall rate of taxation. In addition to these taxes and duties, we are subject to an additional 39.2% excess gains duty, which applies to the portion of proceeds of our crude oil exports that are attributable to sales at prices in excess of a specific threshold price per barrel set by the Mexican Government. In 2001, this price was U.S. $18.00 per barrel, and in 2002, this price is U.S. $15.50 per barrel. The effect of the excess gains duty, when combined with the regular duty rate, is that the Mexican Government, not PEMEX, realizes all of the benefits of increases in crude oil prices over the threshold. See also "Item 4—Information on the Company—Taxes and Duties—Excess Gains Revenue Duty." The Mexican Government resets the rate of taxes and duties applicable to PEMEX each year.
179
The hydrocarbon taxes and duties affect our income because they are recorded as expenses. However, the IEPS Tax and the value added tax are indirect taxes that do not have an impact on our income because they are pass-through taxes that we collect from consumers and transfer to the Mexican Government.
Relation to the Mexican Government
Mexico is the sole owner of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities and the Mexican Government closely regulates and supervises our operations. Mexican Government ministers control key executive decisions at PEMEX. The Secretary of the Ministry of Energy of Mexico is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos. SECODAM appoints Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities' external auditors.
The Mexican Government incorporates the annual budget and financing program of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities into its consolidated annual budget, which it submits to the Mexican Congress for its approval. The Mexican Congress also designates certain of our largest capital expenditures as PIDIREGAS. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—History and Development—Capital Expenditures and Investments."
Inflation
Mexico experienced high inflation during the 1980s. The annual rate of inflation (as measured by the change in the NCPI) decreased from a high of 159.2% in 1987 to 11.9% in 1992, 8.0% in 1993 and 7.1% in 1994. However, the economic events that followed the devaluation of the peso against the U.S. dollar in late 1994 and 1995, and turbulence in international financial markets, caused inflation to increase to 52.0% in 1995, decrease to 27.7% in 1996 and 15.7% in 1997 and increase to 18.6% in 1998. The annual inflation rate decreased to 12.3% in 1999, 9.0% in 2000 and 4.4% in 2001.
Mexican inflation has affected our consolidated financial statements in the following ways:
- •
- Comparisons of data between periods may not reflect real trends. Because the prices of certain products and services that we purchase and sell tend to increase along with general inflation, nominal price increases substantially affect sales and expense items in our income statement.
- •
- Each year, we adjust the value of our fixed assets, materials and spare parts on our balance sheet to reflect inflation. This revaluation will increase our assets in periods of high inflation. When we revalue fixed assets and inventories to reflect the effects of inflation, our subsequent depreciation and cost of sales charges will increase, reducing our income.
We revalue our fixed assets based on a hybrid of NCPI and specific-index items as determined by independent appraisers. The specific-index method takes into account usage, obsolescence, specific costs of operation and the remaining productive life of the revalued assets. See Note 2 b) to the Financial Statements.
In 1996, an independent appraiser revalued our natural gas pipeline, distribution, transportation and storage assets using the specific-cost method. In 1997, PEMEX used the specific-cost method to revalue exploration and production assets, taking into consideration an independent appraiser's report. In 1998, PEMEX used the specific-cost method to revalue refinery assets, including distribution, transportation and storage assets, taking into consideration Mexican Petroleum Institute appraisals. For 2001, 2000 and 1999, fixed assets, excluding furniture and fixtures, vehicles and construction in progress, were restated based on appraisals performed by the Mexican Petroleum Institute and by an independent appraiser. The appraisals were performed utilizing the specific index method considering usage, a factor for obsolescence, specific costs, remaining useful lives and the relative classification of the fixed assets. Construction in progress and various immaterial assets are not restated.
180
Consolidation
The financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP, consolidate the results of Petróleos Mexicanos, the subsidiary entities and the subsidiary companies. Certain non-material subsidiaries, however, are not consolidated and are accounted for under the cost method. For a list of the consolidated subsidiary companies, see Note 2 c) to the Financial Statements. Since 1997, the results of P.M.I. Marine Ltd., have been consolidated; such results were previously accounted for under the cost method. In 1998, we began consolidating the assets and liabilities of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust related to PIDIREGAS. Beginning in 2000, we began consolidating the results and financial condition of Mex Gas International Ltd. For U.S. GAAP purposes, beginning in 2001, we began consolidating the results and financial condition of Pemex Finance, Ltd.
Export Agreements
In response to continuing weak crude oil prices in international markets, on March 22, 1998, the governments of Mexico, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia agreed to reduce their crude oil output (exports in the case of Mexico). Mexico agreed to reduce exports by 100 thousand barrels per day, while Venezuela agreed to reduce its output by 200 thousand barrels per day and Saudi Arabia by 300 thousand barrels per day, beginning April 1, 1998. On June 4, 1998, the same countries announced that, beginning July 1, 1998, Saudi Arabia would reduce its output by an additional 225 thousand barrels per day, Venezuela would reduce its output by an additional 125 thousand barrels per day and Mexico would reduce its exports by an additional 100 thousand barrels per day.
On March 23, 1999, OPEC and some non-OPEC members, including Mexico, Norway, Russia and Oman, ratified an agreement reached on March 12, 1999 to cut world crude oil production by a total of 2.1 million barrels per day. Under this agreement, Mexico agreed to cut its crude oil exports by an additional 125 thousand barrels per day beginning on April 1, 1999. These crude oil agreements were set to expire on March 31, 2000.
181
On March 29, 2000, OPEC, excluding Iran, agreed to increase its crude oil production by 1,450 thousand barrels per day. Mexico, which is not a member of OPEC, announced on March 29, 2000 that it would increase its exports of crude oil by 150 thousand barrels per day, beginning in April 2000. On June 21, 2000, the Ministry of Energy announced an additional increase in crude oil exports of 75 thousand barrels per day, beginning in July 2000.
Following OPEC's announcement in January 2001 that it would reduce crude oil production by 1.5 million barrels per day, Mexico announced it would decrease its crude oil exports by 75 thousand barrels per day, beginning on February 1, 2001. Following a March 2001 announcement by OPEC of an additional 1.0 million barrel per day reduction in crude oil production, on March 25, 2001, Mexico announced a further reduction in crude oil exports of 40 thousand barrels per day, beginning on April 1, 2001. On July 24, 2001, Mexico announced that it would reduce its crude oil exports by an additional 70 thousand barrels per day, beginning on September 1, 2001.
Following OPEC's announcement that it would reduce crude oil production by 1.5 million barrels a day, on January 2, 2002, Mexico announced it would decrease its crude oil exports by 100 thousand barrels per day to 1.66 million barrels per day for six months beginning on January 1, 2002. Most recently, following OPEC's announcement that it would keep crude oil production at their present levels through fourth quarter 2002, Mexico affirmed that it would also maintain its crude oil exports at present levels for the same period.
Results of Operations of PEMEX—For the Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2000
Income/(Loss)
In 2001, we reported a loss of Ps. 34.1 billion on Ps. 362.2 billion in total revenues net of the IEPS Tax, as compared with a loss of Ps. 19.7 billion on Ps. 409.1 billion in total revenues net of the IEPS Tax in 2000. This 73.1% increase in losses from 2000 to 2001 resulted primarily from:
- •
- a decrease of 25.1% in the weighted average price of crude oil sold by PMI for export, from U.S. $24.78 in 2000 to U.S. $18.57 in 2001;
- •
- increases in the labor reserve for pension obligations, due to higher wages and benefits paid to employees;
- •
- increased depreciation and amortization and a loss in product inventory; and
- •
- an increase in net interest expense from Ps. 6.7 billion in 2000 to Ps. 13.1 billion in 2001.
Our total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, were Ps. 350.1 billion in 2001, a decrease of 12.2% from 2000 total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, of Ps. 398.7 billion. The decrease in total sales from 2000 to 2001 resulted primarily from a decrease in crude oil export prices, which decreased crude oil export revenues, and a decrease in the prices of the principal petroleum products that we sold in the domestic market.
Export Sales
In 2001, total consolidated export sales decreased by 19.3% in peso terms (with dollar-denominated export revenues converted to pesos at the exchange rate for the date on which the export sale was made), from Ps. 175.4 billion in 2000 to Ps. 141.5 billion in 2001. Excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group, export sales by the subsidiary entities to the PMI Group and third parties decreased by 19.9% in peso terms, from Ps. 150.7 billion in 2000 to Ps. 120.7 billion in 2001, and decreased as a percentage of total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, from 40.3% in 2000 to 36.6% in 2001. In dollar terms, excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group, export sales (which are dollar-denominated) decreased by 18.9% in 2001, from U.S. $15.9 billion in 2000 to U.S. $12.9 billion in 2001.
182
The trading and export activities of the PMI Group generated additional marginal revenues of Ps. 20.8 billion in 2001, 15.8% lower in real peso terms than in 2000, mainly due to the decrease in the prices of crude oil that PEMEX exported.
Crude oil sales by Pemex-Exploration and Production to PMI for export accounted for 92.1% of export sales (excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group) in 2001, as compared to 91.2% in 2000. These crude oil sales decreased in peso terms by 19.0% in 2001, from Ps. 137.3 billion in 2000 to Ps. 111.2 billion in 2001, and decreased in dollar terms by 17.9% in 2001, from U.S. $14.5 billion in 2000 to U.S. $11.9 billion in 2001. This decrease reflected the fall in international crude oil prices. The weighted average price per barrel of crude oil that Pemex-Exploration and Production sold to PMI for export in 2001 was U.S. $18.57, 24.6% lower than the weighted average price of U.S. $24.62 in 2000.
Export sales of petroleum products by Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals to the PMI Group and third parties, including natural gas liquids, decreased from 7.3% of export sales (excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group) in 2000 to 7.0% in 2001. Export sales of petroleum products, including natural gas liquids, decreased by 22.7%, from Ps. 11.0 billion in 2000 to Ps. 8.5 billion in 2001, due to lower prices in international markets and lower export volumes of certain products. In dollar terms, export sales of petroleum products, including natural gas liquids, decreased by 22.0%, from U.S. $1,164 million in 2000 to U.S. $907 million in 2001.
Petrochemical products accounted for the remainder of export sales in 2000 and 2001. Export sales of petrochemical products (including certain by-products of the petrochemical process) decreased by 58.3%, from Ps. 2.4 billion in 2000 to Ps. 1.0 billion in 2001, due to decreases in both demand and prices of several products. In dollar terms, export sales of petrochemical products (including certain by-products of the petrochemical process) decreased by 52.6% in 2001, from U.S. $243.5 million in 2000 to U.S. $115.4 million in 2001.
Domestic Sales
Domestic sales, net of the IEPS Tax, decreased by 6.5% in 2001, from Ps. 223.3 billion in 2000 to Ps. 208.7 billion in 2001. Domestic sales of petroleum products other than natural gas decreased by 7.7% in 2001, from Ps. 185.2 billion in 2000 to Ps. 171.0 billion in 2001, primarily due to a fall in the domestic prices of our principal petroleum products. Domestic petrochemical sales (including sales of certain by-products of the petrochemical production process) decreased 20.7%, from Ps. 11.1 billion in 2000 to Ps. 8.8 billion in 2001, due to a decrease in the domestic market demand for the principal petrochemical products. Sales of natural gas increased 7.0%, from Ps. 27.0 billion in 2000 to Ps. 28.9 billion in 2001, as a result of an increase in domestic demand in 2001.
Other Revenues
Other revenues decreased 13.7%, from Ps. 9.5 billion in 2000 to Ps. 8.2 billion in 2001, primarily due to decreased revenue from freight charges in connection with the distribution of our products. We recorded exchange gains of Ps. 3.9 billion in 2001, as compared to exchange gains of Ps. 0.9 billion in 2000, primarily due to the effects of fluctuations in the peso/dollar exchange rate on our dollar-denominated indebtedness.
Costs and Operating Expenses
Costs and operating expenses, which include costs of sales, transportation and distribution expenses and administrative expenses, increased by 7.4%, from Ps. 192.7 billion in 2000 to Ps. 207.0 billion in 2001. This increase was due to increases in the labor reserve for pension obligations, depreciation and amortization, salaries and wages and the loss resulting from the fluctuation of product inventory. Costs related to the labor reserve for pension obligations increased by 13.0%, from Ps. 29.9 billion in 2000 to
183
Ps. 33.8 billion in 2001. Other expenses increased by 24.5%, from Ps. 5.3 billion in 2000 to Ps. 6.6 billion in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the natural gas hedging operations.
Duties and Taxes
Hydrocarbon extraction duties and other duties and taxes (including the IEPS Tax) decreased by 10.3%, from Ps. 293.8 billion in 2000 to Ps. 263.5 billion in 2001, largely because of the decrease in international crude oil prices in 2001 and the resulting decrease in sales revenue. We paid Ps. 1.3 billion in excess gains duties in 2001, representing 39.2% of the amount of our sales revenue derived from the difference between actual crude oil prices at which Pemex-Exploration and Production sold to PMI, which averaged U.S. $18.57 per barrel for the Mexican weighted crude oil mix, and the Mexican Government's crude oil price budgetary assumption of U.S. $18.00 per barrel. We paid Ps. 21.2 billion in excess gains duties in 2000.
Interest, net
Net interest expense increased by 95.5%, from Ps. 6.7 billion in 2000 to Ps. 13.1 billion in 2001. This increase was mainly due to a decrease in capitalized interest incurred in respect of fixed assets and the recognition of the current period loss resulting from the application of Bulletin C-2, the new financial instrument standard.
Cumulative Effect of Adoption of New Financial Instruments Standard
In 2001, we adopted Bulletin C-2, which resulted in a loss of Ps. 1, 331 million primarily attributable to the accounting for the Repsol equity swap, as described in Note 2 o) to the Financial Statements.
Results of Operations of PEMEX—For the Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1999
Income/(Loss)
In 2000, we reported a loss of Ps. 19.7 billion on Ps. 409.1 billion in total revenues net of the IEPS Tax, as compared with a loss of Ps. 21.2 billion on Ps. 256.6 billion in total revenues net of the IEPS Tax in 1999. This 7.1% decrease in losses from 1999 to 2000 resulted primarily from:
- •
- an increase in domestic sales;
- •
- an increase in product inventory; and

The effects of these increases were partially offset by (1) an increase in the excess gains duties that we paid in 2000 in respect of our crude oil exports sold at prices greater than U.S. $15.00 per barrel; and (2) increases in the labor reserve for pension obligations, due to higher wages and benefits paid to employees, increased purchases of refined petroleum and other products and increased depreciation and amortization.
Our total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, reached Ps. 398.7 billion in 2000, an increase of 61.7% over 1999 total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, of Ps. 246.5 billion. The increase in total sales from 1999 to 2000 resulted primarily from an increase in crude oil export prices, which increased crude oil export revenues, and an increase in the prices of the principal petroleum products that we sold in the domestic market.

Export Sales
In 2000, total consolidated export sales increased by 61.4% in peso terms (with dollar-denominated export revenues converted to pesos at the exchange rate for the date on which the export sale was made), from Ps. 108.7 billion in 1999 to Ps. 175.4 billion in 2000. Excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group, export sales by the subsidiary entities to the PMI Group and third parties increased by 60.8% in peso terms, from Ps. 93.7 billion in 1999 to Ps. 150.7 billion in 2000, and decreased slightly as a percentage of total sales, net of the IEPS Tax, from 40.5% in 1999 to 40.3% in 2000. In dollar terms, excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group, export sales (which are dollar-denominated) increased by 60.6% in 2000, from U.S. $9.9 billion in 1999 to U.S. $15.9 billion in 2000. The trading and export activities of the PMI Group generated additional marginal revenues of Ps. 24.7 billion in 2000, 64.8% higher in real peso terms than in 1999, mainly due to the increase in the prices of crude oil that PEMEX exported.
Crude oil sales by Pemex-Exploration and Production to PMI for export accounted for 91.2% of export sales (excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group) in 2000, as compared to 89.3% in 1999. These crude oil sales increased in peso terms by 64.2% in 2000, from Ps. 83.6 billion in 1999 to Ps. 137.3 billion in 2000, and increased in dollar terms by 64.8% in 2000, from U.S. $8.8 billion in 1999 to U.S. $14.5 billion in 2000. This increase reflected the rise in international crude oil prices. The weighted average price per barrel of crude oil that Pemex-Exploration and Production sold to PMI for export in 2000 was U.S. $24.62, 57.6% higher than the weighted average price of U.S. $15.62 in 1999.
Export sales of petroleum products by Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals to the PMI Group and third parties, including natural gas liquids, decreased from 9.6% of export sales (excluding the trading activities of the PMI Group) in 1999 to 7.3% in 2000. Export sales of petroleum products, including natural gas liquids, increased by 22.2%, from Ps. 9.0 billion in 1999 to Ps. 11.0 billion in 2000, due to higher prices in international markets and higher export volumes of certain products. In dollar terms, export sales of petroleum products, including natural gas liquids, increased by 22.9%, from U.S. $947 million in 1999 to U.S. $1,164 million in 2000.
Petrochemical products accounted for the remainder of export sales in 1999 and 2000. Export sales of petrochemical products (including certain by-products of the petrochemical process) increased by 140.0%, from Ps. 1.0 billion in 1999 to Ps. 2.4 billion in 2000, due to an increase in demand and in the prices of several products. In dollar terms, export sales of petrochemical products (including certain by-products of the petrochemical process) increased by 124.8% in 2000, from U.S. $108.3 million in 1999 to U.S. $243.5 million in 2000.
Domestic Sales
Domestic sales, net of the IEPS Tax, increased by 62.0% in 2000, from Ps. 137.8 billion in 1999 to Ps. 223.3 billion in 2000. Domestic sales of petroleum products other than natural gas increased by 64.8% in 2000, from Ps. 112.4 billion in 1999 to Ps. 185.2 billion in 2000, primarily due to a rise in the domestic prices of our principal petroleum products. Domestic petrochemical sales (including sales of certain by-products of the petrochemical production process) increased 11.0% from Ps. 10.0 billion in 1999 to Ps. 11.1 billion in 2000, due to an increase in the domestic market prices of the principal petrochemical products. Sales of natural gas increased 75.3% from Ps. 15.4 billion in 1999 to Ps. 27.0 billion in 2000, as a result of increases in domestic demand and prices in 2000.
Other Revenues
Other revenues increased 31.9% from Ps. 7.2 billion in 1999 to Ps. 9.5 billion in 2000, primarily due to increased revenue from freight charges in connection with the distribution of our products and an increase in the value of an investment in a foreign company accounted for under the equity method. We recorded exchange gains of Ps. 0.9 billion in 2000, as compared to exchange gains of Ps. 2.9 billion
185
in 1999, primarily due to the effects of fluctuations in the peso/dollar exchange rate on our dollar-denominated indebtedness.
Costs and Operating Expenses
Costs and operating expenses, which include costs of sales, transportation and distribution expenses and administrative expenses, increased by 32.5%, from Ps. 145.4 billion in 1999 to Ps. 192.6 billion in 2000. This increase was due to increases in the labor reserve for pension obligations, depreciation and amortization, salaries and wages, purchases of petroleum products and other products and maintenance expenses. Costs related to the labor reserve for pension obligations increased by 19.6%, from Ps. 25.0 billion in 1999 to Ps. 29.9 billion in 2000. Other expenses increased by 12.8%, from Ps. 4.7 billion in 1999 to Ps. 5.3 billion in 2000, primarily due to increased freight expenses for the distribution of liquefied petroleum gas.
Duties and Taxes
Hydrocarbon extraction duties and other duties and taxes (including the IEPS Tax) increased by 40.7%, from Ps. 208.8 billion in 1999 to Ps. 293.8 billion in 2000, largely because of the increase in international crude oil prices in 2000 and the resulting increase in sales revenue. We paid Ps. 21.2 billion in excess gains duties in 2000, representing 39.2% of the amount of our sales revenue derived from the difference between actual crude oil prices at which Pemex-Exploration and Production sold to PMI, which averaged U.S. $24.62 per barrel for the Mexican weighted crude oil mix, and the Mexican Government's crude oil price budgetary assumption of U.S. $15.00 per barrel. We paid Ps. 13.3 billion in excess gains duties in 1999.
Interest, net
Net interest expense decreased by 6.9%, from Ps. 7.2 billion in 1999 to Ps. 6.7 billion in 2000. This decrease was mainly due to the recognition of a net gain in connection with the Repsol equity swap and collar unwind (which is discussed in Note 10 vi) to the Financial Statements), which was only partially offset by an increase in uncapitalized interest incurred in connection with PIDIREGAS completed in 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Equity Structure and the Certificates of Contribution "A"
Our total equity as of December 31, 2001 was Ps. 122.9 billion, and our total capitalization (long-term debt plus equity) amounted to Ps. 246.0 billion.
In March 1990, the Mexican Government exchanged U.S. $7.58 billion worth of external debt of Petróleos Mexicanos with international commercial banks for 30-year Collateralized Fixed Rate Bonds Due 2019 and Collateralized Floating Rate Bonds Due 2019 (also called "Brady Bonds") issued by the Mexican Government. In exchange for the cancellation of this external debt, Petróleos Mexicanos' indebtedness to the Mexican Government increased by an amount equal to U.S. $7.58 billion. The new indebtedness was denominated in currencies other than pesos. In December 1990, the Mexican Government and Petróleos Mexicanos agreed to capitalize the indebtedness incurred in March 1990 into Petróleos Mexicanos' equity as Certificates of Contribution "A." As a condition to this capitalization, Petróleos Mexicanos agreed to pay a minimum guaranteed dividend to the Mexican Government equal to the debt service on the capitalized debt at the exchange rates in effect at the date payments are made. The total dividend on the Certificates of Contribution "A" is approved annually by the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos after the close of each fiscal year. Each month, Petróleos Mexicanos makes advance payments to the Mexican Government that total a prorated portion of the minimum guaranteed dividend.
186
From 1997 to 2001, Petróleos Mexicanos made annual advance payments, which were declared as dividends to the Mexican Government, as follows:

In December 1997, Petróleos Mexicanos' Board of Directors and the Mexican Government agreed to an equity reduction of the Certificates of Contribution "A" in exchange for a cash payment to the Mexican Government of Ps. 12.12 billion (U.S. $1.5 billion). Further to that agreement, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, acting on behalf of the Mexican Government, agreed to a reduction in the minimum guaranteed dividend that it would receive from Petróleos Mexicanos in 1998, 2001 and certain future years. Since 1999, Petróleos Mexicanos has been scheduled to make a total of U.S. $4.9 billion in advance payments to the Mexican Government in respect of the principal amount of the Certificates of Contribution "A." In 1999 and 2000, Petróleos Mexicanos paid U.S. $250 million under that arrangement. No advance payments were scheduled to be made in 2001. In addition, since 1999, Petróleos Mexicanos has paid minimum guaranteed dividends on the Certificates of Contribution "A" at the rate of the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus13/16% per year on the outstanding balance of the original principal amount of the debt capitalized in March 1990.

Cash Flow from Operating, Financing and Investing Activities
During 2001 net funds provided by operating activities were Ps. 26.2 billion, a 6.9% increase from Ps. 24.5 billion in 2000. Funds from income (which was negative in 2001) plus items that did not require cash outlays totaled Ps. 36.4 billion in 2001. New debt financings provided an additional Ps. 114.4 billion of net funds (excluding Ps. 8.4 billion of foreign exchange gains). During 2001, we applied net funds of Ps. 39.4 billion for net investments at cost in fixed assets (Ps. 51.7 billion of new investments and capitalized interest, less Ps. 12.3 billion in dispositions of fixed assets).
At December 31, 2001, our cash and cash equivalents totaled Ps. 14.4 billion, as compared to Ps. 27.8 billion at December 31, 2000. At that time, we did not have sufficient working capital, generated exclusively from operations, for our budgeted cash flow requirements for 2002. However, based on past experience, we expect to generate sufficient working capital through:
- •
- cash flow generated from operations;
- •
- the issuance of commercial paper;
- •
- acceptance credit facilities;
187
- •
- renewing existing and securing additional lines of credit from international commercial banks; and
- •
- other additional financing activities.
Commercial paper is issued under our U.S. $445 million U.S. Commercial Paper Program, which was established in December 2001 and is backed by a Letter of Credit from Barclays Bank Plc. Commercial paper is usually issued with maturities of up to 6 months. We also established a U.S. $650 million Acceptance Credit Facility with a group of international banks and a U.S. $135 million Acceptance Credit Facility with Japanese banks in 2001. Lines of credit are obtained from major international banks with maturities ranging from 1 month up to 18 months. See also "—Commitments for Capital Expenditures and Sources of Funding" below.
We have previously met our cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and investments over the past three years with a combination of funds provided by operations and financing. See "—Financing Activities" below.
Commitments for Capital Expenditures and Sources of Funding
Our current aggregate commitments for capital expenditures, including PIDIREGAS, total approximately Ps. 149.2 billion for 2002. For general descriptions of our current commitments for capital expenditures, see "Item 4—Information on the Company—History and Development—Capital Expenditures and Investments."
In 2001, Pemex-Exploration and Production invested in four PIDIREGAS (including the Strategic Gas Program, which was added to our budget in 2001) and other general operating investments and strategic products for a total of Ps. 57,302 million in capital expenditures in exploration and production in 2001. In 2002, Pemex-Exploration and Production will add 23 more PIDIREGAS to its budget, for a total of 27 PIDIREGAS, for which Ps. 82,234 million is budgeted in 2002. In addition, Pemex-Exploration and Production has budgeted Ps. 27,512 million for non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures for 2002. For more detail on the expenditures for and purpose of these investments, see "Item 4—Information on the Company—Business Overview—Exploration and Production—Investment in Exploration and Production."
Pemex-Refining invested in one PIDIREGAS in 2001 and invested in other general operating projects, strategic projection, acquisition of equipment, research and development and complementary investments for a total of Ps. 7,222 million in capital expenditures by Pemex-Refining in 2001. In 2002, Pemex-Refining expects to invest Ps. 30,387 million in capital expenditures. Of this amount, Pemex-Refining has budgeted Ps. 21,445 million for three PIDIREGAS (including amounts originally budgeted for projects in 2001 that are expected to be completed in 2002), and Ps. 8,942 million for other non-PIDIREGAS capital expenditures. For more detail on the expenditures for and purpose of Pemex-Refining's investments, see "Item 4—Information on the Company—Business Overview—Refining—Investments."
Both Pemex-Petrochemicals and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals invest in projects primarily related to natural gas and condensates processing, transportation and storage. In 2002, the Mexican Government approved Ps. 734 million in capital expenditures for Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals' new PIDIREGAS. The combined capital expenditures for Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals and Pemex-Petrochemicals is expected to be Ps. 7,330 million in 2002. For more detail on the expenditures for and purpose of these investments, see "Item 4—Information on the Company—Business Overview—Petrochemicals—Investments."
Our current commitments for capital expenditures have increased compared to previous years. We plan to fund these expenditures through the financing activities in which we have engaged in the past as well as new sources. We have funded and we expect to continue to fund our commitments for
188
PIDIREGAS capital expenditures primarily through the issuance of debt securities in capital markets transactions, commercial bank syndicated loans, bilateral loans from commercial banks and guaranteed loans from export credit agencies. To a lesser extent, we may decide to use Pemex Finance, Ltd. to fund some PIDIREGAS if we consider it convenient in light of market conditions. The securities that we or Pemex Finance, Ltd. issue vary in tenor, amount, currency and type of interest rate: we may issue debt securities in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, euros, sterling pounds or Mexican pesos, among others; these securities may be issued with fixed or floating rates, with maturities ranging between three and thirty years, depending on market conditions and funding requirements. Commercial bank syndicated loans may be established with single or multiple tranches with maturities ranging between two and five years. Bilateral loans vary in tenor and range between two and three or more years. See also "—Financing Activities" below.
As described in "—Financing Activities" below, we have thus far issued U.S. $2 billion in debt securities in the international capital markets in 2002 through the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, and we expect to issue additional securities over the rest of the year. As part of our activities for funding our capital expenditures for this year, we are considering issuing Mexican Peso denominated debt securities in the domestic market. Petróleos Mexicanos has never issued debt securities in the domestic market. However, the domestic market has demonstrated significant growth over the past five years, and we believe that this market can represent an alternative source of PIDIREGAS funding, offering competitive conditions in terms of tenor, amount and type of interest rates. Additionally, we may also fund some PIDIREGAS through commercial bank loans denominated in Mexican pesos.
Non-PIDIREGAS are funded mainly through our operating revenues, and, to a lesser degree, financing activities. These financing activities consist primarily of loans from export credit agencies. These loans are usually structured with maturities ranging between five and ten years with minimum amounts of U.S. $20 million. See also "—Cash Flow from Operating, Financing and Investing Activities," above.
In order to be able to carry out our planned capital expenditure program, we will need to seek financing from a variety of sources, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain financing on terms that would be acceptable to us. Our inability to obtain additional financing could have an adverse effect on our planned capital expenditure program and result in our being required to limit or defer this program.

2001 Compared to 2000
Exploration and Production
In 2001, Pemex-Exploration and Production's trade sales of crude oil and natural gas to the PMI Group decreased by 19.0% in peso terms and by 17.9% in U.S. dollar terms, as a result of a decrease of 24.6% in the international price of crude oil and an increase of 3.5% in the volume of crude oil exports. The weighted average price of crude oil sold by Pemex-Exploration and Production to the PMI Group for export was U.S. $18.57 in 2001, as compared to U.S. $24.62 in 2000. Intersegment sales decreased by 12.0%, principally as a result of a decrease in crude oil and natural gas sales, resulting from decreases in the reference prices of these commodities. Income related to exploration and production activities increased 23.2% from Ps. 7,128 million in 2000 to Ps. 8,785 million in 2001, primarily as a result of a decrease in the excess gains revenue duties, which was offset by a 14.2% increase in costs associated with the labor reserve for pension obligations from Ps. 10,351 million in 2000 to Ps. 11,821 million in 2001. The increase in labor reserve costs was due to an increase in salaries and wages, an additional year of services by the personnel and an increase in the financial cost as a result of insufficient funding of these liabilities.
Refining
In 2001, trade sales related to refining activities increased by 4.0%, from Ps. 230,059 million in 2000 to Ps. 239,230 million in 2001. Export sales related to refining activities decreased 32.0% from Ps. 3,654 million in 2000 to Ps. 2,486 million in 2001, as a result of a decrease in the volume of certain petroleum product exports. Domestic sales related to refining activities increased by 4.6% from Ps. 226,405 million in 2000 to Ps. 236,744 million in 2001, principally due to increases in the peso prices of refined products and the IEPS Tax, which increased by Ps. 25,642 million in 2001. Intersegment sales decreased by Ps. 812 million, largely due to decreases in the sales of naphthas and propylene. In 2001 the total loss related to refining activities was Ps. 29,601 million, as compared to a loss of Ps. 23,139 million in 2000. The increased loss was primarily due to a 9.7% decrease in domestic sales net of the IEPS tax from Ps. 157.0 million in 2000 to Ps. 141.7 million in 2001, and a 10.4% increase in labor reserves costs from Ps. 10,933 million in 2000 to Ps. 12,074 million in 2001. This increase in labor reserve costs was due to an increase in salaries and wages, an additional year of services by the personnel and an increase in the financial cost as a result of insufficient funding of these liabilities.
199
Gas and Basic Petrochemicals
In 2001, trade sales related to the natural gas and basic petrochemical business segment increased by 2.1%, from Ps. 63,957 million in 2000 to Ps. 65,283 million in 2001. Natural gas sales increased by 7.1% from Ps. 26,997 million in 2000 to Ps. 28,917 million in 2001, mainly due to a price increase of approximately 8.3%. The volume of domestic sales of basic petrochemicals increased by 10.7% in 2001, from 785 thousand tons per year in 2000 to 869 thousand tons per year in 2001. Income related to natural gas and basic petrochemicals increased by 297.8%, from a loss of Ps. 317 million in 2000 to a gain of Ps. 627 million in 2001, mainly due to a 23.1% decrease in imports of products used in the production process and the 2.1% increase in trade sales mentioned above, partially offset by a 12.8% increase in labor reserves costs, from Ps. 2,152 million in 2000 to Ps. 2,428 million in 2001, resulting in an increase in the cost of sales and operating expenses. This increase in labor reserve costs was due to an increase in salaries and wages, an additional year of services by the personnel and an increase in the financial cost as a result of insufficient funding of these liabilities.
Petrochemicals
In 2001, trade sales related to the petrochemicals business segment decreased by 26.0%, from Ps. 12,184 million in 2000 to Ps. 9,014 million in 2001. Prices for petrochemicals sold domestically decreased for a majority of petrochemical products. In 2001, the volume of petrochemical exports decreased by 50.2% from 607 thousand tons in 2000 to 302 thousand tons in 2001. Losses related to petrochemical activities increased 67.5% from Ps. 6,090 million in 2000 to Ps. 10,199 million in 2001 due to decreases in both volumes and sale prices and to a 13.6% increase in labor reserves costs from Ps. 2,702 million in 2000 to Ps. 3,069 million in 2001. This increase in labor reserve costs was due to an increase in salaries and wages, an additional year of services by the personnel and an increase in the financial cost as a result of insufficient funding of these liabilities.
Corporate, Subsidiary Companies and Other
In 2001, additional marginal trade sales revenues relating to PMI's exports of crude oil and petroleum products to third parties and after intercompany eliminations decreased by 16.6% in peso terms, from Ps. 24,735 million in 2000 to Ps. 20,636 million in 2001, as a result of a 25.1% reduction in the international price of crude oil, which was offset by a 9.4% increase in the volume of PMI's crude oil sales. The weighted average price of crude oil sold by PMI was U.S. $18.57 in 2001, as compared to U.S. $24.78 in 2000. In 2001, the total income related to corporate, subsidiary companies and other, which includes the international trading activities of the PMI Group, decreased from an income of Ps. 2.7 billion in 2000 to a loss of Ps. 3.7 billion in 2001, primarily due to our adoption of the new financial instrument standard (Bulletin C-2). This compares to total income of Ps. 2.7 billion in 2000; primarily due to the recognition of a net gain in connection with the Repsol equity swap and collar unwind in that year, which is discussed below under "Item 11—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk Management and Financial Instruments—Equity Swap."
2000 Compared to 1999
Exploration and Production
In 2000, Pemex-Exploration and Production's trade sales of crude oil and natural gas to the PMI Group increased by 64.2% in peso terms and by 64.8% in U.S. dollar terms, as a result of an increase of 57.6% in the international price of crude oil and an increase of 3.5% in the volume of crude oil exports. The weighted average price of crude oil sold by Pemex-Exploration and Production to the PMI Group for export was U.S. $24.62 in 2000, as compared to U.S. $15.62 in 1999. Intersegment sales increased by 89.5%, principally as a result of an increase in crude oil and natural gas sales, resulting from increases in the reference prices of these commodities. Income related to exploration and
200
production activities improved 237.0% from a loss of Ps. 5,202 million in 1999 to income of Ps. 7,128 million in 2000, primarily as a result of the improvement in revenues due to the increase in the weighted average price of crude oil realized by Pemex-Exploration and Production, which was offset by a 14.9% increase in costs associated with the labor reserve for pension obligations from Ps. 9,012 million in 1999 to Ps. 10,351 million in 2000.
Refining
In 2000, trade sales related to refining activities increased by 22.8%, from Ps. 187,381 million in 1999 to Ps. 230,059 million in 2000. Export sales related to refining activities decreased 9.9% from Ps. 4,057 million in 1999 to Ps. 3,654 million in 2000, as a result of a decrease in the volume of certain petroleum product exports. Domestic sales related to refining activities increased by 23.5% from Ps. 183,384 million in 1999 to Ps. 226,405 million in 2000, principally due to increases in the peso prices of refined products. The IEPS Tax decreased by Ps. 18,793 million in 2000. Intersegment sales increased by Ps. 2,900 million, largely due to increases in the sales of naphthas and propylene. In 2000, the total loss related to refining activities was Ps. 23,139 million, as compared to a loss of Ps. 8,111 million in 1999. The increased loss was primarily due to increased purchases of crude oil and refined products at higher reference prices and a 22.8% increase in labor reserves costs from Ps. 8,903 million in 1999 to Ps. 10,933 million in 2000.
Gas and Basic Petrochemicals
In 2000, trade sales related to the natural gas and basic petrochemical business segment increased by 65.3%, from Ps. 38,685 million in 1999 to Ps. 63,957 million in 2000. Natural gas sales increased by 75.7% from Ps. 15,364 million in 1999 to Ps. 26,997 million in 2000, mainly due to an increase in the volume of domestic sales. The volume of domestic sales of basic petrochemicals increased by 21.0% in 1999, from 649 thousand tons per year in 1999 to 785 thousand tons per year in 2000. Income related to natural gas and basic petrochemicals fell by 137.3%, from income of Ps. 849 million in 1999 to a loss of Ps. 317 million in 2000, mainly due to a 107.4% increase in imports of products used in the production process and a 25.8% increase in labor reserves costs from Ps. 1,711 million in 1999 to Ps. 2,152 million in 2000, resulting in an increase in the cost of sales and operating expenses which was only partially offset by increased sales.
Petrochemicals
In 2000, trade sales related to the petrochemicals business segment increased by 20.6%, from Ps. 10,105 million in 1999 to Ps. 12,184 million in 2000. Prices for petrochemicals sold domestically increased for a majority of petrochemical products. In 2000, the volume of petrochemical exports increased by 105.1% from 296 thousand tons in 1999 to 607 thousand tons in 2000. Losses related to petrochemicals activities increased 36.1% from Ps. 4,474 million in 1999 to Ps. 6,090 million in 2000 due to decreases in both volumes and sale prices and to a 17.1% increase in labor reserves costs from Ps. 2,308 million in 1999 to Ps. 2,702 million in 2000.
Corporate, Subsidiary Companies and Other
In 2000, additional marginal trade sales revenues relating to PMI's sales of crude oil and petroleum products to third parties and after intercompany eliminations increased by 64.8% in peso terms, from Ps. 15,007 million in 1999 to Ps. 24,735 million in 2000, as a result of an increase in the international price of crude oil and an increase in the volume of PMI's crude oil sales. The weighted average price of crude oil sold by PMI was U.S. $24.78 in 2000, as compared to U.S. $15.55 in 1999. In 2000, the total income related to corporate, subsidiary companies and other, which includes the international trading activities of the PMI Group, improved from a loss of Ps. 4.2 billion in 1999 to an income of Ps. 2.7 billion in 2000, in part due to a recognition of the U.S. $113 million net gain in 2000
201
in connection with the Repsol equity swap and collar unwind, which is discussed below under "Item 11—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk Management and Financial Instruments."
U.S. GAAP Reconciliation
Operating results under U.S. GAAP differ from operating results under Mexican GAAP due to several factors. The most important of these factors are differences in methods of accounting for exploration and drilling costs, pension and post-retirement obligations, financial instruments and fixed asset adjustments relating to inflation accounting, foreign exchange losses, capitalized interest, depreciation and impairment. For further information regarding these and other differences between Mexican and U.S. GAAP as they relate to our operating results, see Note 19 to the Financial Statements.
Exploration and Drilling Costs
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX charges exploration and drilling costs to the equity reserve for exploration and depletion of oil fields. Exploration and drilling costs related to successful oil wells are credited to the equity reserve and recorded as fixed assets. Cost of sales is recognized by recording a charge for each barrel of crude oil extracted in the statement of operations and recording a credit to the equity reserve. Under U.S. GAAP, PEMEX initially capitalizes the costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells, which are subsequently charged to expense if proved reserves are not discovered. Development costs, including the costs of drilling development wells and development-type stratigraphic test wells, are capitalized.
Pensions and Post-retirement Benefits
Seniority premiums and pension plans are treated differently under U.S. GAAP and Mexican GAAP because of the different actuarial cost assumptions and implementation dates required by Bulletin D-3 and SFAS No. 87. Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX accounts for supplemental payments under its Bulletin D-3 calculations. However, PEMEX accounts for other health services benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. Under U.S. GAAP, PEMEX follows the guidelines of SFAS No. 106, which uses the transitional recognition method in accounting for health service and other supplemental payments provided to retirees.
Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2001, PEMEX adopted Bulletin C-2 for Mexican GAAP purposes, which provides guidance for the definition of financial instruments and requires all financial instruments, with the exception of "held to maturity" instruments, to be recorded at fair value with the related adjustment recognized in earnings. "Held to maturity" instruments and certain derivative instruments qualifying as hedges are to be recorded at amortized cost subject to impairment evaluation. For U.S. GAAP purposes, effective January 1 2001, PEMEX adopted SFAS No. 133 (as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 prescribes requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships and ongoing assessments of effectiveness in order to qualify for hedge accounting.
The principal differences between the cumulative effect adjustment and current period income effect under Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP relate primarily to the accounting for cross currency swaps, foreign currency embedded derivatives and the accounting for the equity swap contracts related to the Repsol shares described in Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
202
Fixed Asset Adjustments
Inflation accounting. Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX recognizes the effects of inflation pursuant to NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, which requires the restatement of non-monetary assets, including inventories of materials and supplies, costs of sales and fixed assets to their net realizable value (in the case of inventories) or through appraisals made by independent appraisers or by using the specific price index (in the case of fixed assets), with the difference being recorded as a revaluation surplus in equity. U.S. GAAP does not require the recognition of the effects of inflation in the consolidated financial statements. Since NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, does not represent a comprehensive basis for inflation accounting, PEMEX has reversed the effects of NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, on its financial statements from the U.S. GAAP reconciliation of income and equity retroactively to 1992. Thus, under NIF-06 BIS "A," section A, a devaluation of the peso does not fully impact PEMEX's income in the year incurred because a portion of the exchange losses are capitalized into fixed assets. Furthermore, devaluation of the peso relative to the dollar results in an increase in income to the extent that expenses remain relatively stable because they are incurred in pesos, while revenues, which are mostly denominated in dollars or linked to international, dollar-denominated prices, increase in peso terms. In contrast, under U.S. GAAP, devaluation of the peso has a negative impact on PEMEX's income because the exchange losses are not capitalized but are charged immediately to income.
Foreign currency exchange losses. Under Mexican GAAP, exchange losses arising from debt are capitalized as part of fixed assets, and any remaining net exchange differences are reflected in the statement of operations as either a debit to costs and operating expenses or a credit to revenues. Under U.S. GAAP, all exchange gains or losses have been recognized in results of operations.
Capitalization of interest. For Mexican GAAP purposes, PEMEX capitalizes interest to property, plant and equipment based on the total interest cost incurred on loans allocated to construction projects, regardless of whether or not the amounts borrowed have been spent on such projects. For purposes of the U.S. GAAP reconciliation, PEMEX capitalizes interest based upon total interest incurred in proportion to additions to construction in progress.
Depreciation. Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX depreciates the book value of its fixed assets, which includes amounts capitalized for foreign exchange losses and restatements for inflation. For U.S. GAAP purposes, PEMEX has reversed this depreciation expense attributable to foreign exchange losses and restatements for inflation.
Impairment. Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 121 requires that PEMEX evaluate its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is permanently impaired. SFAS No. 121 requires PEMEX to write-down impaired assets to the fair value, if available, or the discounted present value of expected future cash flows on related assets. PEMEX measures impairment of its oil and gas producing assets based on the undiscounted estimated future cash flows associated with estimated proved reserves on a field-by-field basis.
Other Differences
In addition to these differences between Mexican and U.S. GAAP, other significant differences that affect our operating results relate to the accounting for accrued vacation, depreciation convention, profit in inventory and the sale of transport assets. See Note 19 to the Financial Statements.
Income and Equity under U.S. GAAP
For the year ended December 31, 2001, PEMEX's loss under U.S. GAAP was approximately Ps. 25.4 billion, representing a Ps. 8.6 billion decrease from the loss recorded under Mexican GAAP. For the year ended December 31, 2000, PEMEX's loss under U.S. GAAP was approximately
203
Ps. 16.7 billion, representing a Ps. 3.0 billion decrease from the loss recorded under Mexican GAAP. For the year ended December 31, 1999, PEMEX reported a loss under U.S. GAAP of approximately Ps. 15.4 billion, representing a Ps. 5.8 billion decrease from the loss recorded under Mexican GAAP. For further detail regarding the adjustments related to these amounts, see Note 19 to the Financial Statements.
PEMEX's equity (deficit) under U.S. GAAP was approximately Ps. (42.3) billion at December 31, 2001 as compared to Ps. (13.6) billion at December 31, 2000. For further detail regarding the adjustments related to these amounts, see Note 19 to the Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2001, the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants (MIPA) issued revised Bulletin C-9, "Liabilities, Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Commitments," which supersedes existing Bulletin C-9, "Liabilities," and Bulletin C-12, "Contingencies and Commitments." The revised Bulletin C-9 establishes a methodology for the following: valuation, presentation and disclosure of liabilities and provisions; valuation and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities; and disclosure of commitments. Among other things, Bulletin C-9 establishes guidelines for the recognition of liabilities and non-recognition of liabilities in the event of extinguishments, restructurings or conversion to equity. In addition, in the case of provisions, it introduces the concept of discounting long-term provisions. With respect to contingent liabilities, Bulletin C-9 states that all contingent liabilities that have a probable realization must be accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements; contingent liabilities that have a possible realization must be disclosed, but not accounted for, in the financial statements; and contingent liabilities that have a remote realization must not be accounted for and are not required to be disclosed in the financial statements. Bulletin C-9 requires disclosure of committed amounts when they represent significant fixed asset additions, contracted services and goods exceed immediate needs, or the commitment is considered a contracted obligation. The provisions of Bulletin C-9 become effective beginning January 1, 2003, although early adoption is recommended. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of Bulletin C-9 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2001, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-8, "Intangible Assets," which defines intangible assets as costs incurred and rights or privileges acquired that will generate a future economic benefit. Bulletin C-8 provides a clear definition of research and development costs, requiring that only development costs may be deferred to a future period. Furthermore, Bulletin C-8 states that pre-operating costs should be expensed as a period cost, unless they could be classified as development costs. Bulletin C-8 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, including previously existing goodwill and intangible assets, should not be amortized, but should be tested for impairment annually. Goodwill and intangible assets with finite useful lives should be amortized over their useful lives. The provisions of Bulletin C-8 become effective beginning January 1, 2003, although early adoption is recommended. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of Bulletin C-8 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and amends or supersedes a number of related interpretations of APB Opinion No. 16. The statement is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. It eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, and prescribes the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets, accounting for negative goodwill and the disclosure required for business combinations. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
204
Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business acquisition) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statements at that date. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a liability for the legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction and/or normal operation of the asset. The liability is recognized at fair value in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. A corresponding asset retirement cost is added to the carrying value of the long-lived asset and is depreciated to expense using a systematic and rational method over its useful life. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Upon initial adoption, a liability is recognized for existing asset retirement obligations and the associated asset retirement cost is capitalized as an increase to the carrying value of the asset. The recognized liability and asset are adjusted for cumulative accretion and accumulated depreciation, respectively, from the time period when the asset retirement obligation would have originally been recognized had this statement been in effect on the date of initial adoption. The cumulative effect of initial adoption of SFAS No. 143 is recorded as a change in accounting principle. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used, but resolves a number of implementation issues and establishes a single accounting model for the disposal of assets. SFAS No. 144 also retains the requirements for reporting discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of by sale, abandonment or distribution to owners, or is classified as held for sale. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and their interim periods. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale or otherwise are effective for disposal activities initiated after the effective date of SFAS No. 144 or after its initial application. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002." SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," SFAS No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers," and SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." As a result, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt will no longer be classified as extraordinary items unless they meet the criteria of being unusual or infrequent, as described in APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events
205
and Transactions." In addition, SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 145 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The issuance of SFAS No. 146 nullifies the former guidance provided by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred, rather than on the date commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for liabilities related to exit or disposal activities incurred after December 31, 2002, although earlier application is encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Change in Independent Auditors
SECODAM periodically assigns new independent auditors to PEMEX. Pursuant to actions by SECODAM, in 1998 PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. ceased to be the independent auditors of PEMEX at the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, and Mancera, S.C. (a Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global) were assigned as the independent auditors for PEMEX on September 25, 1998 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000. Pursuant to actions by SECODAM, on October 5, 2001, Mancera, S.C. ceased to be the independent auditors of PEMEX at the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, and Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. (formerly a member firm of Andersen Worldwide S.C.) was initially assigned as PEMEX's new auditors beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. On May 9, 2002, due to the indictment of Arthur Andersen LLP, SECODAM decided to terminate the engagement of Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. for the auditing of PEMEX's financial statements to be included in its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, and instead appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers S.C. as the current independent auditors to audit those financial statements. As of that date, Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. delivered only an audit report on PEMEX's financial statements prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards applicable to Mexican public-sector entities.
The independent auditors' reports on the financial statements for the 1999, 2000 and 2001 fiscal years have no adverse opinions or disclaimer of opinions, nor do such reports modify or qualify as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. For the 1997 and 2001 fiscal years, we had no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers S.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. For the 1998, 1999 and 2000 fiscal years, we had no disagreements with Mancera, S.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. did not and will not deliver an audit report on PEMEX's consolidated financial statements included in its annual report on Form 20-F for the 2001 fiscal year because its engagement was terminated before those financial statements were completed. For the 2001 fiscal year, we had no disagreements with Ruiz, Urquiza y Cía., S.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure with respect to its report on our financial statements prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards applicable to Mexican public-sector entities. SECODAM made the decision to change accountants in each of the above instances.

Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees
An eleven-member board of directors governs Petróleos Mexicanos. The President of Mexico appoints six members, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors. A recent amendment to the Organic Law requires that the members of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos include the Secretary of the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources. The President of Mexico also appoints the Director General of Petróleos Mexicanos. The Petroleum Workers' Union (which we refer to as the "Union") selects the remaining five directors from among our employees. Alternate directors are authorized to serve on the Board of Directors in place of directors who are unable to attend meetings or otherwise participate in the activities of the Board. The members of the Board of Directors are not appointed for a specific term. The members of the Board of Directors, except for those members selected by the Union, serve subject to the discretion of the President of Mexico.
An eight-member board of directors governs each subsidiary entity. Each of these boards consists of the Director General of Petróleos Mexicanos, the Director General of each of the other three subsidiary entities and four additional directors, who are each appointed by the President of Mexico. The Director General of Petróleos Mexicanos serves as Chairman of the board of each subsidiary entity. Neither the members of the boards of directors nor the executive officers are appointed for a specific term. The members of the boards of directors and the Directors General serve subject to the discretion of the President of Mexico.
On December 2, 2000, in conjunction with the political transition that occurred upon the inauguration of Mr. Vicente Fox Quesada as President of Mexico, we announced that Mr. Raúl Muñoz Leos, former President and Director General of DuPont México, S.A. de C.V. was appointed Director General of Petróleos Mexicanos, effective on such date.
At an extraordinary session of the Board of Directors, held on May 7, 2001, the board also approved the creation of, and confirmed the appointments for, five new executive offices: Corporate Director of Strategic Planning, Corporate Director of Operations, Corporate Director of Engineering and Project Development, Corporate Director for Competitiveness and Innovation and Executive Coordinator.
The following tables set forth certain information with respect to directors and executive officers of Petróleos Mexicanos and each of the subsidiary entities as of September 24, 2002.

Compensation of Directors and Officers
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the aggregate compensation of executive officers of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities (95 persons) paid or accrued in that year for services in all capacities was approximately Ps. 225 million. Members of the boards of directors of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities do not receive compensation for their services.
Board Practices
Neither the members of the boards of directors nor the executive officers are appointed for a specific term. The members of the boards of directors, except for those selected by the Union, and the Directors General of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities serve subject to the discretion of the President of Mexico.
Petróleos Mexicanos has established an audit committee which cooperates with the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos and the Office of the Director General in improving the organization, operation, and achievement of financial and budgetary results. The main functions of the Audit Committee are (i) to promote the economy, efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of PEMEX with regard to operations, modernization, and compliance with government regulations, (ii) to cooperate with the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos in assimilating, analyzing and summarizing the matters in which the Audit Committee is involved, and (iii) to provide advice to Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities. In the performance of its duties, the Audit Committee analyzes, among other data, financial and operative information, performance indicators, reported problems and recommendations presented by the different control areas, and the independent auditors report to the financial statements. The Audit Committee is permanent and meets at least four times a year prior to the meetings of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos.
The audit committee is composed of the following members:

Source: Petróleos Mexicanos
The Union represents approximately 79% of the work force of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities. The members of the Union are our employees and they elect their own leadership from among their ranks. Since the Union's official establishment in 1938, we have experienced no labor strikes, and although we have experienced work stoppages for short periods of time, none of these stoppages has had a significant material adverse effect on our operations. However, SECODAM, the Comptroller General's office, has recently announced an investigation into certain alleged improper diversions of federal monies by Union officials. See "Item 8—Financial Information—Legal Proceedings—Mexican Government Audits and Other Investigations."
Our relationship with our employees is regulated by theLey Federal del Trabajo (Federal Labor Law) and a collective bargaining agreement between Petróleos Mexicanos and the Union. The collective bargaining agreement regulates extensively all aspects of the relationship of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities with their employees. The collective bargaining agreement is subject to renegotiation every two years, although salaries are reviewed annually. Wages increased by 8.5% in 2001 and 12% in 2000, in line with the Mexican Government's price and wage accords. Petróleos Mexicanos and the Union renewed the collective bargaining agreement effective August 1, 2001, pursuant to which wages were increased by 8.5%. The renewed contract was set to expire on July 31, 2003. However, recently, following an impasse in negotiations over salaries and a threat of a strike, on September 29, 2002, PEMEX and the Union reached an agreement on a total salary increase of 7.3% (consisting of a 5.5% increase in wages and a 1.8% increase in benefits). PEMEX will pay this increase in wages and benefits to its workers, including retirees in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement, retroactively to August 1, 2002.
In accordance with the collective bargaining agreement and the Federal Labor Law, Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are under an obligation to pay seniority premiums to retiring employees and pension and death benefits to retired employees or their survivors. Retirees are entitled to receive increases in their pensions whenever salary increases are granted to current employees. We also provide health and medical benefits to employees, retired employees and their families and, subject to our overall budgetary constraints, we provide an interest-rate subsidy on employees' mortgage loans.
229
On November 5, 1997 the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit and the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos authorized the formation of a new trust called the Pemex Labor Fund. This fund is a vehicle to fund labor liabilities, current pension payments and seniority premiums. We have designed a contribution plan to increase the funds held in this trust and to continue to make payments on outstanding labor and pension liabilities. Our contributions to the Pemex Labor Fund amounted to Ps. 4,100 million in 2001 and Ps. 3,442 million in 2000.
Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions
Major Shareholders
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities have no shareholders because they are decentralized public entities of the Mexican Government. The Mexican Government closely regulates and supervises our operations; it incorporates the annual budget and financing programs of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities into its consolidated annual budget, which it submits to the Mexican Congress for its approval.
The Mexican Government also directs many executive decisions at PEMEX. Mexican Government ministers hold a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos, and the Secretary of Energy of Mexico is the Chairman of the Board. The General Comptroller's Office of the Mexican Government (SECODAM) appoints PEMEX's external auditors and the Director General of Petróleos Mexicanos is a member of the President of Mexico's cabinet and the Mexican Government. See also "Item 3—Key Information—Risk Factors—Risk Factors Related to the Relationship between PEMEX and the Mexican Government" and "Item 10—Additional Information—Share Capital."
Related Party Transactions
Under Article 8, Section XI of theLey Federal de Responsabilidades Administrativas de los Servidores Públicos (Federal Law of Administrative Responsibilities of Public Servants), which is applicable to all of our employees, PEMEX's employees are obligated to "recuse themselves from intervening in any way in the attention to, processing or resolution of matters in which they might have personal, family or business interest, including those where some benefit can result for themselves, their spouse, blood or affinity relatives up to the fourth degree, or civil relatives, or for third parties with which they have professional, laboral, or business relations, or for partners or partnerships where the public servant or the persons referred above are or have been members of."
Item 8. Financial Information
Legal Proceedings
Labor-related Proceedings
In the ordinary course of our business, we are a party to various legal actions, including those involving labor claims of former and present employees. These labor disputes relate to severance payments, life insurance benefits, extensions of labor contracts, level of wages, improper termination and employee housing. We do not expect these lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or future results of operations.
On September 29, 2002, PEMEX and the Union reached an agreement that, among other things, settled negotiations relating to their annual salary review. For more information regarding this agreement, see "Item 6—Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Employees."

Mexican Government Audits and Other Investigations
Following the change in presidential administrations, in 2001, the General Comptroller's Office of the Mexican Government, which we refer to as "SECODAM," conducted an audit of PEMEX's operations in 2000 and previous years. In the audit, SECODAM identified a series of transactions between PEMEX and the Union during 2000 which PEMEX believes involved illicit behavior. We describe the transactions, allegations and related proceedings below.
On January 21, 2002, SECODAM announced that it had submitted a criminal complaint to theProcuraduría General de la República (the Office of the Federal Attorney General) for the diversion of Ps. 1,580 million in federal monies from PEMEX to the Union from March 2000 to October 2000. SECODAM has alleged that the payments were not properly made under applicable Mexican laws and government regulations.
In addition, the Federal Attorney General has filed charges against certain former officers of PEMEX charging them with exceeding the scope of their corporate powers in executing the several transactions under investigation. On March 20, 2002, Petróleos Mexicanos filed three criminal complaints with the Federal Attorney General requesting prosecution principally of Rogelio Montemayor Seguy (former Director General), Carlos Juaristi Septién (former Corporate Management Director) and Juan José Domene Berlanga (former Chief Financial Officer) for acting illegally, outside the scope of their corporate powers and without the consent of PEMEX's Board of Directors, PEMEX's general counsel or the Mexican Government to illegally divert to the Union and certain of its representatives a total of Ps. 1,660 million (which includes the Ps. 1,580 previously identified by SECODAM in its complaint). Mr. Montemayor resigned from PEMEX effective November 30, 2000 concurrent with President Fox's appointment of Raúl Muñoz Leos as Director General. Messrs. Juaristi and Domene ended their affiliation with PEMEX in February 2001 as a result of the change in administration following the appointment of Mr. Muñoz Leos. If the former officers or any other parties are found guilty, Mexican law requires the court to order restitution to PEMEX for the improperly diverted amounts. To date, PEMEX has not sought restitution from the Union, because the Union has not been identified as a criminal defendant in its own right. PEMEX notes that it plans to pursue any legal action necessary to obtain restitution from whomever is found responsible.
In May 2002, a Mexican federal judge issued arrest warrants against certain former officers of Petróleos Mexicanos (including Messrs. Montemayor, Juaristi and Domene) for their embezzlement and unlawful use of their corporate powers and privileges. On July 1, 2002, Mr. Montemayor elected to surrender himself to U.S. federal authorities in Texas instead of federal authorities in Mexico. The Mexican Government has formally requested that the U.S. authorities extradite Mr. Montemayor to Mexico; the hearing on his extradition is set for December 8, 2002.
On September 10, 2002, the Federal Attorney General submitted a request to the Mexican Congress that it remove the legislative immunity from prosecution of Senator Ricardo Aldana Prieto, who is a member of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos as a representative of the Union, as well as the legislative immunity of federal Congressman Carlos Romero Deschamps and of state representative Jesús Olvera Méndez. If the Mexican Congress strips these individuals of their legislative immunity, the Federal Attorney General will be able to proceed with their criminal prosecution for their participation in the illegal diversion of PEMEX funds.
Since learning from SECODAM about the illegal diversion of funds, PEMEX has been cooperating with SECODAM and the Office of the Federal Attorney General to prosecute the responsible persons. In addition, our Director General has promoted a number of initiatives and has enacted certain rules in order to promote a culture of ethics and prevent corruption in PEMEX's daily operations. On July 31, 2002, an ethics code (Código de Ética de los Servidores Públicos de la Administración Pública Federal) was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation containing rules to promote legality, honesty, integrity, loyalty, impartiality and efficiency in the performance of
231
public work by public officers. Prior to this, President Vicente Fox Quesada's cabinet had committed to follow a code of ethics which embodies the conduct that the people of Mexico expect of their public servants. In addition, all of PEMEX's officers are now required to attend an ethics program, and PEMEX is currently developing a corporate code of ethics that will better define the duties and scope of corporate powers of all of its officers in order to prevent abuses. Separately, SECODAM, through its audit representatives at PEMEX, is analyzing the illegal transactions involving the Union to determine how to better implement federal laws and internal regulations applicable to PEMEX and its officers in order to prevent future abuses. PEMEX expects that these efforts will result in a more effective system of internal controls.
We note that we recorded the Ps. 1,660 million, the diversion of which is the subject of the prosecution, as an administrative expense in 2000. In the event that we receive any restitution in the future with respect to this matter, it will be appropriately recorded as a gain in the period in which cash is received, in accordance with Mexican and U.S. GAAP.
Civil Actions
We prevailed in a legal claim before a Mexican federal court brought by Comercio Exterior y Materias Primas S.A. (CEMP), a service provider to Pemex-Exploration and Production, for damages in the amount of U.S. $104.6 million and Ps. 62.4 million as compensation for services provided by CEMP but not paid by Pemex-Exploration and Production. CEMP appealed that decision to the Mexican Supreme Court, and on November 26, 2001, Pemex-Exploration and Production prevailed in the appeal and was absolved of all related claims made by CEMP.
In September 2001, Conproca, the construction company performing construction and maintenance services for Pemex-Refining's Cadereyta refinery, filed a claim for arbitration in accordance with the International Chamber of Commerce rules against Pemex-Refining related to expenses incurred by Conproca in providing such services. The claim is for U.S. $497.4 million. We are currently participating in mediation to resolve this dispute supported by the ordinary Mexican legal defenses. Pemex-Refining believes that it has sufficient elements to support its acquittal. Accordingly, we have not created a reserve to pay for any potential judgment or settlement.
In December 2001, Odin Construcciones, S.A. de C.V. (Odin), a Mexican construction company, filed a claim for damages against Petróleos Mexicanos related to works concluded but not yet paid. The claim was for approximately U.S. $103 million. In March 2002, a Mexican federal court entered a judgment in PEMEX's favor. However, Odin filed an appeal to reverse that decision. We do not expect that the results of this appeal will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or future results of operations.
In October 2000, in accordance with Article 73 of the Acquisitions, Leasing and Public Sector Services Law, Pemex-Refining settled a legal dispute with Productos Ecológicos S.A. de C.V. (Proesa) relating to the early termination of a long-term MTBE supply and services contract involving an MTBE plant that was never built before the Court for International Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. Proesa's initial claim against Pemex-Refining was for approximately U.S. $650 million. However, after discussion and negotiation in private arbitration proceedings, Pemex-Refining agreed to settle the dispute for a total amount of approximately U.S. $146.5 million (U.S. $127 million plus taxes). The settlement was formalized by an agreement between Pemex-Refining and Proesa, dated October 16, 2000, and fully paid on the same date; the full payment was recorded as an expense in 2000. SECODAM is currently reviewing the contracts entered into by Pemex-Refining and Proesa on a confidential basis.
232
U.S. Anti-dumping Dispute
On June 29, 1999, Save Domestic Oil, Inc., a group of independent oil producers in the United States, filed a petition before the U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission pursuant to the United States' antidumping and countervailing duty laws against imports of crude oil from Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Iraq. The United States' antidumping and countervailing duty laws provide for the imposition of additional duties on imports of merchandise if certain determinations as to the existence of dumped prices or countervailing subsidies and material injury or threat thereof to the relevant U.S. industry are made. On August 9, 1999, the U.S. Department of Commerce determined that it would not initiate antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on crude oil from Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The U.S. Department of Commerce dismissed the petition, stating that it was prohibited by law from initiating investigations because there was not the requisite U.S. industry support for the petition. The U.S. Department of Commerce has stated that its decision not to initiate investigations means that these cases are closed and that neither the U.S. Department of Commerce nor the International Trade Commission will take further action. On September 7, 1999, Save Domestic Oil, Inc. filed a complaint against the United States seeking review of the U.S. Department of Commerce's decision. This action is still pending.
Dividends
In March 1990, as a result of the implementation of the 1989-92 Financing Package for Mexico, our commercial bank creditors exchanged U.S. $7.58 billion of Petróleos Mexicanos' external indebtedness for Brady Bonds issued by the Mexican Government. At the same time, Petróleos Mexicanos' indebtedness to the Mexican Government increased by the same amount; the new indebtedness was denominated in currencies other than pesos. In December 1990, the Mexican Government and Petróleos Mexicanos agreed to capitalize this indebtedness, converting it into Certificates of Contribution "A." As a condition of this capitalization, Petróleos Mexicanos agreed to pay a minimum guaranteed dividend to the Mexican Government equal to the debt service on the capitalized debt. The Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos approves the total dividend on the Certificates of Contribution "A" after the end of each fiscal year, although Petróleos Mexicanos pays an amount equal to the minimum guaranteed dividend to the Mexican Government in monthly advance payments during the year. During 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001, Petróleos Mexicanos made advance payments to the Mexican Government in the aggregate of, Ps. 5,804 million, Ps. 3,064 million, Ps. 5,138 million, Ps. 5,564 million and Ps. 2,153 million respectively, towards the minimum guaranteed dividends for those years. See "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Equity Structure and the Certificates of Contribution 'A."'
233
Trading in the securities issued by Petróleos Mexicanos and the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust takes place primarily on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Item 10. Additional Information
Share Capital
Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities have no shareholders because they are decentralized public entities of the Mexican Government. For a discussion of the structure of the Mexican Government's equity in PEMEX, see "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Equity Structure and the Certificates of Contribution 'A."'
Memorandum and Articles of Association
Petróleos Mexicanos and each of the subsidiary entities is a decentralized public entity of the Mexican Government. The Mexican Congress established Petróleos Mexicanos by a decree dated June 7, 1938 effective July 20, 1938. None of Petróleos Mexicanos or the subsidiary entities has bylaws or articles of association. On July 17, 1992, the Mexican Congress created the subsidiary entities out of operations that had previously been directly managed by Petróleos Mexicanos. Petróleos Mexicanos and its four subsidiary entities, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals and Pemex-Petrochemicals, are decentralized public entities of the Mexican Government, and each is a legal entity empowered to own property and carry on business in its own name. The activities of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities are regulated by the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, the Regulatory Law, the Organic Law, regulations issued pursuant to the Regulatory Law and other federal laws and regulations. See "Item 4—Information on the Company—History and Development." Six members of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos, including the Chairman, are appointed by the President of Mexico. Our Union selects the remaining five directors from among employees of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities. An eight-member board of directors governs each subsidiary entity. Each of these boards consists of the Director General of Petróleos Mexicanos, the Director General of each of the other three subsidiary entities and four additional directors, who are each appointed by the President of Mexico. The members of the boards of directors of Petróleos Mexicanos and each of the subsidiary entities are not appointed for a specific term, and, except for those members selected by the Union, they serve subject to the discretion of the President of Mexico.
Material Contracts
On June 16, 1993, in connection with the establishment of its U.S. $500,000,000 Medium-Term Notes, Series A, Program, Petróleos Mexicanos entered into a Fiscal Agency Agreement with Bankers Trust Company (currently Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, which we refer to as "Deutsche Bank"), as Fiscal Agent. On February 26, 1998, in connection with the establishment of its U.S. $1,500,000,000 Medium-Term Notes, Series B, Program, Petróleos Mexicanos amended and restated the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Under the new program, Petróleos Mexicanos issued the following securities:

On November 10, 1998, Petróleos Mexicanos, The Bank of New York and The Bank of New York (Delaware) entered into a Trust Agreement, which created the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust and designated The Bank of New York as Managing Trustee and The Bank of New York (Delaware) as Delaware Trustee. On the same date, Petróleos Mexicanos, the subsidiary entities and the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, acting through The Bank of New York, entered into an Assignment and Indemnity Agreement. This agreement provides for the assignment by the subsidiary entities to the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust of certain payment obligations relating to PIDIREGAS, the arrangement by Petróleos Mexicanos of financing on behalf of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust to meet such payment obligations, the payment by Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities to the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust of the amounts necessary to meet the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust's obligations under such financings and the indemnification of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust by Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities.
On December 1, 1998, a Receivables Purchase Agreement was entered into by and among Pemex Finance, Ltd., PMI, P.M.I. Services, B.V. and Pemex-Exploration and Production. Pursuant to this agreement, Pemex-Exploration and Production agrees to export at least 90% of its exports of crude oil to PMI, which in turn agrees to sell all current and expected eligible receivables to P.M.I. Services, B.V. upon the request of Pemex Finance, Ltd. P.M.I. Services, B.V. agrees to sell such eligible receivables to Pemex Finance, Ltd. contemporaneously with its purchase of them.
On July 31, 2000, in connection with the establishment of a U.S. $3,000,000,000 Medium Term Notes, Series A, Program on behalf of the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, Petróleos Mexicanos and the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust entered into an Indenture Agreement with Deutsche Bank, as Trustee. This agreement provides for the issuance by the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust from time to time of unsecured debt securities. These issuances are unconditionally guaranteed by Petróleos Mexicanos. Pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated July 29, 1996, Petróleos Mexicanos' obligations are jointly and severally guaranteed by Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals. Pursuant to the Indenture Agreement, the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust has issued the following securities:
- •
- €500,000,000 7.75% Notes due 2007, issued on July 31, 2000;

On November 24, 2000, the Mexican Government, through the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, as transferor, the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, as transferee, and Petróleos Mexicanos, as guarantor, entered into aConvenio de Derivación de Fondos (Transfer of Funds Agreement) whereby the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit transferred U.S. $676,161,058 net in cash to the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust which will assume U.S. $698.3 million of the Mexican Government's payment obligations beginning on December 31, 2002.
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, PEMEX has entered into contracts with various contractors for an approximate amount of Ps. 46,820 million and Ps. 68,972 million, respectively. These contracts are for the development of PIDIREGAS and are therefore subject to standards required in NIF-09 A, which is a Mexican accounting guideline that outlines specific accounting and budgetary treatment applicable to PIDIREGAS. For an explanation of NIF-09 A, see "Item 4—Information on the Company—History and Development—Capital Expenditures and Investment" and Note 2 d) to the Financial Statements.
Exchange Controls
Mexico has had a free market for foreign exchange since 1991, and the government has allowed the peso to float freely against the U.S. dollar since December 1994. There can be no assurance that the government will maintain its current foreign exchange policies. See "Item 3—Key Information—Exchange Rates" and "Item 3—Key Information—Risk Factors—Considerations related to Mexico."

Taxation Generally
The following summary contains a description of the principal Mexican and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities and the 2001 Securities (all as defined above), but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to invest in, or dispose of, the 1997 Securities, 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities.
This summary is based on the federal tax laws of Mexico and the United States in force on the date of this Form 20-F, including the provisions of the income tax treaty between the United States and Mexico together with related protocol (the Tax Treaty) (which are subject to change), and does not describe any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state or municipality in Mexico, the United States or any other jurisdiction, or the laws of any taxing jurisdiction other than the federal laws of Mexico and the United States.
Mexico has also entered into, or is negotiating, tax treaties with various countries that may have effects on holders of 1997 Securities, 1998 Securities, 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities. This summary does not discuss the consequences (if any) of such treaties.
Each holder or beneficial owner of 1997 Securities, 1998 Securities, 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities should consult its tax advisor as to the Mexican, United States or other tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of those securities, including the effect of any foreign, state or municipal tax laws, and the consequences of the application of any tax treaty to which Mexico is a party.
Mexican Taxation
This summary of certain Mexican federal tax considerations refers only to holders of 1997 Securities, 1998 Securities, 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities that are not residents of Mexico for Mexican tax purposes and that do not conduct a trade or business in Mexico through a permanent establishment (we refer to any such non-resident holder as a Foreign Holder). For purposes of Mexican taxation, an individual is a resident of Mexico if he has established his domicile in Mexico, unless he has resided in another country for more than 183 calendar days, whether consecutive or not in any calendar year and can demonstrate that he has become a resident of that other country for tax purposes.
A legal entity is a resident of Mexico if;
- •
- it has been incorporated under the laws of Mexico;
- •
- maintains the principal administration of its business in Mexico; or
- •
- it has established its effective management in Mexico.
237
If a person has a permanent establishment in Mexico, such permanent establishment shall be required to pay taxes in Mexico on income attributable to such permanent establishment in accordance with Mexican federal tax law.
Taxation of Interest. Under theLey del Impuesto Sobre la Renta (Income Tax Law), payments of interest (which is deemed to include any amounts paid in excess of the original issue price), made by a Mexican issuer (including Petróleos Mexicanos) in respect of notes or bonds and other debt securities to a Foreign Holder will generally be subject to a Mexican withholding tax assessed at a rate of 4.9%, if the following requirements are met:
- •
- the relevant notes or bonds are registered with the Special Section of the National Registry of Securities and Intermediaries maintained by the National Banking and Securities Commission, and evidence of such registration is filed with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit; and
- •
- the notes or bonds are placed outside of Mexico through banks or brokerage houses in a country that has entered into a treaty to avoid double taxation with Mexico; and
- •
- we duly comply with the information requirements established in the general rules issued by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit for such purposes.
If the requirements for the 4.9% rate are not met, the rate of withholding tax on payments to a Foreign Holder will be 10%.
If the effective beneficiaries, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly with related parties, receive more than 5% of the interest paid on notes or bonds and (1) own directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, with related parties, more than 10% of the voting stock of the issuer or (2) are entities 20% or more of whose stock is owned directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, by parties related to the issuer, the Mexican withholding tax rate applicable to payment of interest on notes or bonds may be significantly higher.
Payments of interest made by Petróleos Mexicanos or Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals in respect of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities and the 2001 Securities to non-Mexican pension or retirement funds will be exempt from Mexican withholding taxes, provided that any such fund:
- •
- is duly organized pursuant to the laws of its country of origin and is the effective beneficiary of the interest payment;
- •
- the income from such interest payment is exempt from income tax in such country of residence; and
- •
- is registered with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit for that purpose.
Additional Amounts. Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals have agreed, subject to specified exceptions and limitations, to:
- •
- pay Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture dated September 18, 1997 between Petróleos Mexicanos and Deutsche Bank (the 1997 Indenture)) to the holders of the 1997 Securities in respect of the Mexican withholding taxes mentioned above;
- •
- pay Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture dated August 7, 1998 between Petróleos Mexicanos and Deutsche Bank (the 1998 Indenture)) to the holders of the 1998 Securities in respect of the Mexican withholding taxes mentioned above;
- •
- pay Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture dated as of July 31, 1999 between Petróleos Mexicanos and Deutsche Bank) to the holders of the Puttable Notes;
238
- •
- pay Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture dated as of July 15, 1999 between Petróleos Mexicanos and Deutsche Bank) to the holders of the POMESSM in respect of the Mexican withholding taxes described above; and
- •
- pay Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture dated as of July 31, 2000 among the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust, Petróleos Mexicanos and Deutsche Bank) to the holders of the 2001 Securities in respect of the Mexican withholding taxes mentioned above.
If Petróleos Mexicanos pays Additional Amounts in respect of such Mexican withholding taxes, any refunds received with respect to such Additional Amounts will be for the account of Petróleos Mexicanos.
Holders or beneficial owners of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities may be requested to provide certain information or documentation necessary to enable Petróleos Mexicanos or Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals to establish the appropriate Mexican withholding tax rate applicable to such holders or beneficial owners. In the event that the specified information or documentation concerning the holder or beneficial owner, if requested, is not provided on a timely basis, the obligation of Petróleos Mexicanos or Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals to pay Additional Amounts may be limited.
Taxation of Dispositions. Capital gains resulting from the sale or other disposition of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities by a Foreign Holder will not be subject to Mexican income or withholding taxes.
Other Mexican Tax Considerations. Under the Income Tax Law, any discount received by a non-resident upon purchase of the notes or bonds issued by a Mexican issuer, are deemed interest income, and therefore, subject to taxes in Mexico. Such interest income is calculated as the difference between the face value (plus accrued interest not subject to withholding) and the purchase price of such notes or bonds. If any such note or bond is sold by a Mexican resident or a non-resident with a permanent establishment in Mexico, such taxes must be paid by the seller, on behalf of the non-resident purchaser, within 15 days after the sale. However, when the sale is made by a Foreign Holder, the Income Tax law is unclear as to how such taxes, if any, would be paid by or on behalf of the purchaser.
Transfer and Other Taxes. There are no Mexican stamp, registration, or similar taxes payable by a Foreign Holder in connection with the purchase, ownership or disposition of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities. A Foreign Holder of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities will not be liable for Mexican estate, succession, gift, inheritance or similar tax with respect to such securities.
United States Taxation
This summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations deals principally with persons that will hold the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities as capital assets and whose functional currency is the United States dollar. This summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to any particular investor, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application or that are assumed to be known to investors. This summary generally does not address the tax treatment of holders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, or persons that hold the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities as a position in a "straddle" for tax purposes or as part of a "synthetic security" or a "conversion transaction" or other integrated investment comprised of such securities and one or more other investments, nor does it address the tax
239
treatment of holders that do not acquire the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities at their issue price as part of the initial distribution. Investors who purchase the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities at a price other than the issue price should consult their tax advisor as to the possible applicability to them of the amortizable bond premium or market discount rules. As used in this section "Taxation," the term "United States Holder" means an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a U.S. domestic corporation, or any other person that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of its investment in the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities.
Taxation of Interest and Additional Amounts. A United States Holder will treat the gross amount of interest and Additional Amounts (i.e., without reduction for Mexican withholding taxes) as ordinary interest income in respect of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities. Mexican withholding taxes paid at the appropriate rate applicable to the United States Holder will be treated as foreign income taxes eligible for credit against such United States Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions, or, at the election of such United States Holder, for deduction in computing such United States Holder's taxable income. Interest and Additional Amounts will constitute income from sources without the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Such income generally will constitute "passive income" or, in the case of certain United States Holders, "financial services income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes unless the Mexican withholding tax applicable to the United States Holder is imposed at a rate of at least 5%, in which case such income generally will constitute "high withholding tax interest."
The calculation of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a United States Holder that elects to deduct foreign taxes, the availability of deductions, involves the application of rules that depend on a United States Holder's particular circumstances. United States Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits and the treatment of Additional Amounts.
Foreign tax credits may not be allowed for withholding taxes imposed in respect of certain short-term or hedged positions in securities or in respect of arrangements in which a United States Holder's expected economic profits is insubstantial. United States Holders should consult their own advisors concerning the implications of these rules in light of their particular circumstances.
Taxation of Dispositions. Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a 1997 Security, 1998 Security, 1999 Security or 2001 Security, a United States Holder will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized (less any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest not previously includible in gross income, which will be taxable as ordinary income) and the holder's tax basis in such security. Gain or loss recognized by a United States Holder on the sale, redemption or other disposition of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of disposition, the securities have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by an individual United States Holder is generally taxed at lower rates than short-term capital gains or ordinary income.
Non-United States Holders. Holders of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities that are, with respect to the United States, non-resident aliens or foreign corporations (Non-United States Holders) will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes, on payments of interest on the securities so long as the requirements described under "Backup Withholding and Information Reporting" are satisfied, unless such income is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-United States Holder of a trade or business in the United States.
The gain realized on any sale or exchange of the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, the 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities by a Non-United States Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by
240
the holder of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) in the case of gain realized by an individual holder, the holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and either (A) such gain or income is attributable to an office or other fixed place of business maintained in the United States by such holder or (B) such holder has a tax home in the United States.
A 1997 Security, 1998 Security, 1999 Security or 2001 Security held by an individual holder who at the time of death is a nonresident alien will not be subject to United States federal estate tax.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. The principal paying agent for the 1997 Securities, the 1998 Securities, 1999 Securities or the 2001 Securities will be required to file information returns with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to payments made to certain United States Holders of those securities. In addition, certain United States Holders may be subject to a backup withholding tax in respect of such payments, unless they (i) provide their accurate taxpayer identification numbers to the principal paying agent and certify that they are not subject to backup withholding or (ii) otherwise establish an exemption from the backup withholding tax. Non-United States Holders may be required to comply with applicable certification procedures to establish that they are not United States Holders in order to avoid the application of such information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Risk Management and Financial Instruments
We face significant market risks in foreign exchange, interest rates and hydrocarbon prices as part of our normal business operations. Managing risk exposure is a high priority for our senior management and risk management committee, which is composed of representatives of Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities, Banco de México, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit and PMI. We have developed policies aimed at managing the volatility inherent in these normal business exposures, and, in accordance with these policies, we enter into various transactions using derivative financial and commodity instruments, including conventional exchange-traded derivative instruments such as futures and options, as well as over-the-counter instruments such as swaps, options and forward contracts.
During 2001, the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos approved a restructuring of the risk management area and created the Risk Management Deputy Direction, whose objective is to develop the financial and operational risk management strategy for Petróleos Mexicanos and the subsidiary entities and to establish institutional regulations consistent with a consolidated risk management approach.
Commodity Price Risk
Crude Oil
Our exports and domestic sales are related to international hydrocarbon prices, thus exposing us to fluctuations in international markets. We share this risk with the Mexican Government through our current fiscal regime. In order to mitigate this risk, since 1998, the Mexican Government, along with PEMEX, has actively participated with the major international oil producers to improve international oil prices by reducing crude oil exports volumes. See "Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—General—Export Agreements."
In the past few years, PMI entered into several long-term Maya crude oil supply agreements. Under these agreements, PMI provides purchasers with certain support mechanisms to protect, under certain adverse market conditions, the investments the purchasers made in accordance with the agreements. Given the conditions of crude oil markets, placing additional volumes of crude oil in more refineries that are able to process the heavy crude oil that Pemex-Exploration and Production produces supports the overall average price of crude oil exports. We perceive the risk under these agreements as manageable, without the need for hedging instruments, since in the worst case market scenario the expected additional value derived from crude oil exports should exceed the expected cost of the support mechanisms.
242
Petroleum Products
We balance our overall petroleum product supply and demand through PMI Trading, managing only those exposures associated with our immediate operational program. To this end, we use the full range of conventional oil price-related financial and commodity derivatives available in the oil markets. Our benchmark for petroleum product commercial activities is the prevailing market price. As of December 31, 2001, the value at risk as measured against the above-mentioned benchmark was U.S. $16.2 million.
Natural Gas
As described above under "Item 4—Information on the Company—Business Overview—Gas and Basic Petrochemicals—Natural Gas Risk Management," we have entered into a number of three-year agreements with Mexican industrial consumers that hold outstanding natural gas price hedging instruments to sell natural gas at a fixed reference price of U.S. $4.00 per million BTUs. As part of our risk management strategy, we have also entered into a number of derivative instruments to hedge these fixed price sales under the three-year agreements, while locking in a profit margin; we entered into these derivative instruments for approximately 91% of the total volume of natural gas sold under these three-year fixed price agreements.
The risk management strategy used to hedge these fixed price sales left us with an exposure to basis risk arising from the difference between the index used to hedge the natural gas sales at a fixed price and the index used as reference to mark to market these contracts. This basis risk is treated as an inefficiency of the transaction and may impact our earnings in a period other than the one during which the transaction was realized.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A significant amount of our revenues is derived from exports of crude oil and petroleum products, which are priced and payable in U.S. dollars. Moreover, our revenues net of the IEPS Tax from domestic sales of petroleum products and petrochemicals are related to the international dollar-denominated prices of these products. By contrast, most of our costs of sales and other expenses, other than hydrocarbon duties, are payable in pesos and are not linked to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the peso's depreciation against the U.S. dollar increases our income in peso terms. Appreciation of the peso relative to the U.S. dollar has the opposite effect. We perceive this risk as manageable, without the need for hedging instruments, because most of our investments and debt issuances are made in U.S. dollars and, therefore, the impact of the fluctuation in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the peso on our revenues is offset by its impact on our obligations.
Most of our debt is denominated in U.S. dollars, although we borrow in other currencies as well. Also, because we generate significant U.S. dollar revenues, fluctuations in currencies other than the U.S. dollar can increase our costs of funding. Since 1991, Petróleos Mexicanos has entered into currency swaps to hedge against movements in exchange rates when it borrows in currencies other than U.S. dollars. In 2001, Petróleos Mexicanos entered into various cross-currency swaps to hedge currency risk arising from Euro- and Japanese yen-denominated debt obligations issued by the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust. As of December 31, 2001, the aggregate notional amount of the swaps entered into in 2001 was U.S. $884 million, for a total outstanding position on currency swaps at year-end of U.S. $1,952 million. In addition, during 2002, Petróleos Mexicanos has entered into a series of cross-currency swaps for a nominal amount of U.S. $915.1 million.
We capitalize our debt-related foreign exchange losses on our balance sheet, but only up to the increase in the restated value of our fixed assets in the same period. In 2000, we capitalized our debt-related foreign exchange losses of Ps. 140 million resulting from foreign exchange losses of certain subsidiary entities (the remaining subsidiary entities recorded foreign exchange gains). We do not
243
capitalize debt-related foreign exchange gains nor foreign exchange gains or losses related to our operations, which consist mainly of gains and losses on receivables for export sales and payables to foreign suppliers; we record these gains or losses in results of operations. As we had net debt-related foreign exchange gains in 1999, 2000 and 2001, we recorded total net foreign exchange gains from operations and debt of Ps. 2,950 million in 1999, Ps. 877 million in 2000 and Ps. 3,892 million in 2001.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on short and long-term floating rate instruments. We are predominantly exposed to U.S. dollar LIBOR interest rates because our borrowings are primarily denominated in, or swapped into, U.S. dollars. We use derivative instruments as described below to achieve the required mix of fixed and floating rate exposure in our debt portfolio. As of December 31, 2001, the proportion of floating rate debt was approximately 40% of total net debt outstanding.
Interest-rate swaps. Under interest-rate swap agreements, we are obligated to make payments based on a fixed interest rate and are entitled to receive payments based on either the floating three-month or six-month LIBOR. As of December 31, 2001 Petróleos Mexicanos was a party to interest-rate swap agreements totaling an aggregate notional amount of U.S. $100 million, with an average fixed interest rate of approximately 7.33% and a weighted average term of approximately 2.59 years. During 2002, we have entered into interest-rate swap agreements totaling an aggregate notional amount of U.S. $331 million.
Interest-rate caps. In 1994, our hedging committee eliminated some of the protection provided by our interest-rate swaps by selling interest-rate caps. During 2001, all of Petróleos Mexicanos' outstanding caps in a total notional amount of U.S. $100 million expired. Petróleos Mexicanos did not enter into any new interest-rate-cap transactions during this period.
The market value of Petróleos Mexicanos' aggregate foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives position was negative Ps. 2,357.7 million as of December 31, 2000 and negative Ps. 3,366.3 million as of December 31, 2001.
The effects on the consolidated statements of income of entering into "swap" transactions are recorded as incurred and when the precise settlement amounts are known. The effects on the consolidated statements of income of other derivative instruments, including premiums paid or received, are recognized at the date of receipt or payment. Such amounts are included in the consolidated statements of income within the "Interest, net" caption. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
When derivative results are favorable to Petróleos Mexicanos, it faces the risk that counterparties will not pay their obligations. To minimize this risk, Petróleos Mexicanos monitors counterparties' creditworthiness and exposure to derivative instruments. Petróleos Mexicanos also deals exclusively with major financial institutions and maintains a diversified portfolio.
Equity Swap
Petróleos Mexicanos currently holds three equity swaps with respect to shares of Repsol. In 1994, Petróleos Mexicanos entered into an equity swap, which was restructured in March 2000, resulting in a swap with respect to 26,427,781 Repsol shares divided in three tranches, having one-, two- and three-year maturities. Upon the maturity of the one-year tranche of the restructured swap in 2001, Petróleos Mexicanos entered into a new swap for another three months, commencing in April 2001. Since then, this swap has been renewed periodically. Upon the maturity of the two-year tranche of the restructured swap in April 2002, Petróleos Mexicanos entered into a new swap for three months.
244
In addition, in January 2000, Petróleos Mexicanos entered into a second equity swap with respect to 13,679,704 Repsol shares maturing in three years. As of December 31, 2001 the market value of the Repsol shares was U.S. $14.57 per share.
Instruments Entered Into For Trading Purposes
As part of our client-based approach, we offer natural gas derivatives to our clients. As mentioned above, our benchmark is the market price; therefore, we enter into derivative transactions with the opposite position in order to offset the effect of the derivatives offered to our clients. Neither Bulletin C-2 nor SFAS No.133 allow entering into a derivatives position in order to hedge a position created by another derivative; as a result, these two operations are considered to be entered into for trading purposes. However, given that they have offsetting effects, we are only exposed to basis risk arising from the difference between the index offered to clients and the index related to the offsetting position.
The following tables set forth our portfolio of debt and derivative financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2001. It should be noted that:
- •
- for debt obligations, this table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates for fixed and variable rate debt;
- •
- for interest-rate swaps and other derivatives, this table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates;
- •
- weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date;
- •
- fair values are obtained from market quotes received from market sources such as Reuters, Telerate and Bloomberg;
- •
- where quotes are not available, fair value is calculated internally, discounting from the corresponding zero coupon yield curve in the original currency;
- •
- for all instruments, the table shows the contract terms in order to determine future cash flows categorized by expected maturity dates;
- •
- the information is presented in equivalents of the peso, which is our reporting currency; and
- •
- each instrument's actual cash flows are denominated in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies as indicated in parentheses.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Mexico City, Mexico November 27, 2002
To the General Comptroller's Office
and the Board of Directors of
Petróleos Mexicanos:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Petróleos Mexicanos, Subsidiary Entities and Subsidiary Companies (collectively "PEMEX") as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and changes in financial position for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Management of PEMEX. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of PEMEX as of December 31, 2000 and for the two years then ended, were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated November 27, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Mexico and in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures made in the consolidated 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 o) to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2001, PEMEX adopted the guidelines of the Bulletin C-2, "Financial Instruments", issued by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants. As a result, a cumulative effect charge totalling Ps. 1,331,247 was recognized in earnings.
The effects of inflation are recognized in conformity with Financial Reporting Standard ("NIF") 06 BIS "A" Section A (see Note 2 b) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), which affect only the equity caption titled "Revaluation surplus". The difference between this standard and accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico, Bulletin B-10, "Recognition of the Effects of Inflation on Financial Information", is disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PEMEX as of December 31, 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations, changes in equity and changes in financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico and as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with NIF 06 BIS "A" Section A (see Notes 2 b) and 15 to the consolidated financial statements).
Accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America would have affected the determination of consolidated net loss expressed in Mexican Pesos for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the determination of consolidated deficit and consolidated financial position also expressed in Mexican Pesos at December 31, 2001 to the extent summarized in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the General Comptroller Office
and the Board of Directors of
Petróleos Mexicanos
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Petróleos Mexicanos, Subsidiary Entities and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and changes in financial position for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Management of Petróleos Mexicanos, Subsidiary Entities and Subsidiary Companies. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain Subsidiary Companies, whose statements reflect total assets constituting 1% in 2000 and total revenues constituting 8% in 2000 and 1999, of the related consolidated totals. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and are included herein, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for those Subsidiary Companies, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Mexico and the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts (including the reconciliation of the financial statements of Petróleos Mexicanos, the Subsidiary Entities and Subsidiary Companies to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States) and disclosures made in the consolidated 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 and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The effects of inflation are recognized in conformity with Financial Reporting Standard (NIF) 06 BIS "A" Section A (see Note 2 b) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), which affect only the equity caption titled, "Revaluation surplus". The difference between this standard and accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico, Bulletin B-10, is disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Petróleos Mexicanos, Subsidiary Entities and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations, changes in equity and changes in financial position for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico and as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with NIF 06 BIS "A" section A (see Notes 2 b) and 15 to the consolidated financial statements), which differ in certain respects from those followed in the United States (see Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements).

PETRÓLEOS MEXICANOS, SUBSIDIARY ENTITIES AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999
(Amounts expressed in thousands of pesos and thousands of U.S. dollars)
1. Structure and business activities of Petróleos Mexicanos, Subsidiary Entities and Subsidiary Companies
Following the nationalization of the foreign-owned oil companies then operating in the United Mexican States ("Mexico"), Petróleos Mexicanos was established by a decree of the Mexican Congress dated June 7, 1938 and effective July 20, 1938. Petróleos Mexicanos and its four Subsidiary Entities (as defined below) are decentralized public entities of the Federal Government of Mexico (the "Mexican Government") and together they comprise the Mexican state oil and gas company.
The activities of Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities are regulated by theConstitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos (Political Constitution of the United Mexican States), theLey Reglamentaria del Artículo 27 Constitucional en el Ramo del Petróleo (the Regulatory Law to Article 27 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States concerning Petroleum affairs, or the "Regulatory Law") effective November 30, 1958, as amended effective May 12, 1995 and November 14, 1996, and theLey Orgánica de Petróleos Mexicanos y Organismos Subsidiarios (the Organic Law of Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities, or the "Organic Law"), effective July 17, 1992. Under the Organic Law and related regulations, Petróleos Mexicanos is entrusted with the central planning activities and the strategic management of Mexico's petroleum industry. For purposes of these financial statements, capitalized words carry the meaning attributed to them herein or the meaning as defined in the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States or the Organic Law.
The Organic Law establishes a structure that consists of decentralized legal entities of a technical, industrial and commercial nature, with their own corporate identity and equity and with the legal authority to own property and conduct business in their own names. The Subsidiary Entities are controlled by and have characteristics of subsidiaries of Petróleos Mexicanos. The Subsidiary Entities are:
Pemex-Exploración y Producción (Pemex-Exploration and Production);
Pemex-Refinación (Pemex-Refining);
Pemex-Gas y Petroquímica Básica (Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals); and
Pemex-Petroquímica (Pemex-Petrochemicals).
The strategic activities entrusted to Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities by the Organic Law can be performed only by Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities and cannot be delegated or subcontracted. Pemex-Petrochemicals is an exception and may delegate and/or subcontract certain duties.
The principal objectives of the Subsidiary Entities are as follows:
- I.
- Pemex-Exploration and Production explores for and produces crude oil and natural gas; additionally, this entity transports, stores and markets such products;
- II.
- Pemex-Refining refines petroleum products and derivatives thereof that may be used as basic industrial raw materials; additionally, this entity stores, transports, distributes and markets such products and derivatives;
- III.
- Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals processes natural gas, natural gas liquids and derivatives thereof that may be used as basic industrial raw materials, and stores, transports, distributes and markets such products; additionally, this entity stores, transports, distributes and markets Basic Petrochemicals; and
F-8
- IV.
- Pemex-Petrochemicals engages in industrial petrochemical processing, and stores, distributes and markets Secondary Petrochemicals.
At their formation, Petróleos Mexicanos assigned to the Subsidiary Entities all the assets and liabilities needed to carry out these activities, which assets and liabilities were incorporated into the Subsidiary Entities' initial capital contribution. Additionally, Petróleos Mexicanos assigned to the Subsidiary Entities all the personnel needed for their operations, and the Subsidiary Entities assumed all the related liabilities. There was no change in the carrying value of assets and liabilities upon their contribution by Petróleos Mexicanos to the Subsidiary Entities.
The principal distinction between Subsidiary Entities and Subsidiary Companies (as defined below) is that Subsidiary Entities are decentralized public entities created by Article 3 of the Organic Law, whereas the Subsidiary Companies are companies that have been formed in accordance with the general corporations law of each of the respective jurisdictions in which they are incorporated and are managed as other private corporations subject to the general corporations law, in their respective jurisdictions.
As used herein, "Subsidiary Companies" are defined as (a) those companies which are not Subsidiary Entities but in which Petróleos Mexicanos has greater than a 50% ownership investment, and (b) the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust (the "Master Trust"), a Delaware business trust controlled by Petróleos Mexicanos. "Non-consolidated subsidiary companies", as used herein, are defined as those companies which are (a) not Subsidiary Entities or Subsidiary Companies and (b) in which Petróleos Mexicanos has less than a 50% ownership interest. Petróleos Mexicanos, the Subsidiary Entities and the Subsidiary Companies are referred to as "PEMEX".
2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies followed by PEMEX in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarized below:
a) Accounting basis for the preparation of financial information
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico ("Mexican GAAP") as issued by theInstituto Mexicano de Contadores Públicos (Mexican Institute of Public Accountants, or "MIPA") and as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard ("NIF") 06-BIS "A" Section A as issued by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit ("SHCP") and by the General Comptroller's Office ("SECODAM").
b) Effects of inflation on the financial information
Effects of inflation on the financial information are computed and recorded in accordance with the guidelines established in NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A.
In accordance with NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A, fixed assets (property and equipment), together with accumulated depreciation and amortization, are restated for balance sheet presentation at net replacement cost. Obsolete and abandoned assets, as well as assets under construction and assets held for disposal, are not restated.
The main differences between Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-10, "Recognition of the Effects of Inflation on Financial Information" ("Bulletin B-10"), and NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A are described below. A summary of the significant differences between those two standards is presented in Note 15.
(i) The restatement of the non-monetary assets referred to in NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A must be completed in accordance with the rules established therein, and restatements should be made by applying the constant-peso-value method based on the National Consumer Price Index ("NCPI"). In specific circumstances, when there is justification, a company may elect to use the specific-cost method or the specific-index method, these methods being based upon technical studies. Effective
F-9
January 1, 1997, the use of independent appraisals was disallowed under Mexican GAAP, which only allows for the restatement of fixed assets utilizing the NCPI or, in the case of assets of foreign origin, applying the inflation of the country of origin to the foreign currency amount of the assets prior to translation to pesos at the period end exchange rate. Under NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A, PEMEX has elected to use a hybrid of the constant-peso-value-method with NCPI and specific index method as determined by independent appraisers.
(ii) NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A does not consider the concept of fair value as referred to in Mexican GAAP. Therefore, the balance sheet reflects restated fixed assets without consideration of fair value.
(iii) In accordance with the rules of NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A, the difference between the historical cost of assets, including interest and exchange rate fluctuations, and the restated amounts that are generated from the restatement of fixed assets, as determined above, and investments, are recorded in the equity account "Revaluation surplus."
(iv) NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A allows capitalization of the exchange rate fluctuations and the interest derived from identifiable liabilities associated with fixed assets. Bulletin B-10 only allows capitalization of interest that can be identified with specific fixed assets in the construction or installation phase.
(v) NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A requires that the effects of inflation in the financial statements reflect exclusively the restatement of non-monetary assets. However, in accordance with Bulletin B-10, as amended, it is necessary that the effects of inflation in the individual equity accounts be recognized, also quantified and recorded in equity. In addition, the monetary position result of each period is also reflected in earnings. Additionally, Bulletin B-10, as amended, requires that all items presented in the financial statements be expressed in constant pesos with purchasing power at the latest balance sheet date. NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A does not require this remeasurement.
c) Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Petróleos Mexicanos, the Subsidiary Entities and the Subsidiary Companies. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
The Subsidiary Companies that are consolidated are as follows: P.M.I. Comercio Internacional, S.A. de C.V. ("PMI"); P.M.I. Trading Ltd.; P.M.I. Holdings North America, Inc.; P.M.I. Holdings N.V.; P.M.I. Holdings B.V.; P.M.I. Norteamérica, S.A. de C.V. ("PMI NASA"); Kot Insurance Co. Ltd.; Integrated Trade Systems, Inc.; P.M.I. Marine Limited; P.M.I. Services, B.V.; Pemex Internacional España, S.A.; Pemex Services Europe Ltd.; P.M.I. Services North America, Inc.; Mex Gas International, Ltd.; and the Master Trust.
Certain investments in Subsidiary Companies and other non-consolidated subsidiary companies, due to their immateriality in relation to PEMEX's total assets and revenue, are accounted for under the cost method.
d) Long-term productive infrastructure projects (PIDIREGAS)
The investment in long-term productive infrastructure projects ("PIDIREGAS") and related liabilities are recorded in accordance with NIF-09-A applicable toEntidades Paraestatales de la Administración Pública Federal (State-owned Entities of the Federal Public Administration). In addition to outlining specific accounting treatment, NIF-09-A also identifies specific budgetary and legal requirements governing PIDIREGAS.
During 1997, PEMEX began investing in certain capital expenditure projects that were financed with long-term debt obligations. Such investment expenses and related liabilities will be recognized in the accounting records in future years under NIF-09-A, which provides for only liabilities having maturities expiring in less than two years to be recorded to the accounting records for statutory
F-10
purposes. For the purposes of these financial statements and in accordance with Mexican GAAP consolidation principles, all the accounts related to PIDIREGAS were incorporated into the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2001 and 2000,i.e., all effects of NIF-09-A are excluded.
On December 31, 1998, PEMEX transferred all assets and liabilities related to these PIDIREGAS, in an amount of Ps. 12,104,010, to the Master Trust. The main objective of the Master Trust is to administer financial resources related to PIDIREGAS, such financial resources having been designated by PEMEX for that purpose. The Master Trust has been consolidated in the financial statements since 1998 in accordance with the consolidation principles detailed in Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-8, "Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Valuation of Permanent Investments in Stocks."
e) Exploration and drilling costs
The successful efforts method of accounting is followed. Exploration and drilling costs are charged to the specific oil-field exploration and depletion reserve, as described below. Accumulated drilling costs corresponding to successful oil wells are capitalized out of this reserve.
f) Specific oil-field exploration and depletion reserve
The specific oil-field exploration and depletion reserve is established to cover current and future exploration and drilling costs. As oil and gas is extracted from existing wells, the equity reserve is increased based upon a calculated exploration and drilling cost per barrel, with a corresponding amount being charged to cost of sales. Exploration and drilling costs are charged against this reserve as incurred. Accumulated drilling costs related to successful wells are capitalized as fixed assets and a corresponding amount is added back to re-establish the reserve. PEMEX determines the budgeted exploration and drilling cost per barrel based upon engineering studies. During 2001, PEMEX maintained the cost per barrel of 5.48 pesos, an amount equal to that charged for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.
g) Inventory valuation
Inventories are valued as follows:
- I.
- Crude oil and derivatives thereof for export: At net realizable value, determined on the basis of average export prices at December 31, 2001 and 2000, less a provision for distribution expenses and shrinkage.
- II.
- Crude oil and derivatives there of for domestic sales: At cost, as calculated based on net realizable international market prices.
- III.
- Materials, spare parts and supplies: At the last purchase price.
- IV.
- Materials in transit: At acquisition cost.
h) Properties
PEMEX's assets are initially recorded at acquisition or construction cost. Exchange losses arising from the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the associated foreign currency denominated debt and interest costs are capitalized as part of the asset cost. In accordance with NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A (see Note 2 b)), the book values of these accounts are restated annually. Projects in progress are not restated.
F-11
Property, plant and equipment assets are depreciated using the straight-line method at annual rates determined from studies performed by independent appraisers. PEMEX begins to compute depreciation the year after the asset is placed into service. The depreciation rates used by PEMEX are as follows:

Related gains or losses from the sale or disposal of fixed assets are recognized in income. PEMEX amortizes its well assets using the units-of-production ("UOP") method. The amount to be recognized as amortization expense is calculated based upon the number of equivalent crude oil barrels extracted from each specific field as compared to the field's total proven and probable reserves.
TheReglamento de Trabajos Petroleros ("Petroleum Works Law") provides that once a well turns out to be dry, invaded with salt water or abandoned due to mechanical failure or when the well's production has been depleted such that abandonment is necessary due to economic unfeasibility of production, it must be plugged to ensure the maintenance of sanitary and safe conditions and to prevent the seepage of hydrocarbons to the surface. All activities required for plugging a well are undertaken with the purpose of isolating, in a definitive and adequate manner, the cross formations in the perforation that contains oil, gas or water in order to ensure that hydrocarbons do not seep to the surface. This law also requires that PEMEX obtain approval from the Ministry of Energy for the dismantlement of hydrocarbon installations, either for the purposes of replacing them with new installations or for permanent retirement.
Estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs are taken into account in determining amortization and depreciation rates. PEMEX recognizes the costs related to currently producing and temporarily closed wells based on the UOP method. In the case of the non-producing wells subject to abandonment and dismantlement, the full dismantlement and abandonment cost has been recognized at the end of each period. All estimates are based on the life of the field, and take into consideration current cost estimates on an undiscounted basis. No salvage value is considered when determining such rates because salvage values have traditionally been zero. The estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs are reflected within accumulated depreciation and amortization.
i) Foreign currency balances and transactions
Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded at the respective exchange rates prevailing on the day that the transactions are entered into and the related asset or liability is recorded. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated in pesos at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date and published by the SHCP. As described in Note 2h), in accordance with NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A, exchange losses arising from the impact of currency fluctuations on the value of the foreign currency denominated debt and related interest costs are capitalized as part of the cost of fixed assets. During fiscal years 2001 and 1999, no exchange losses related to these assets were capitalized, as PEMEX recorded exchange gains on its foreign currency denominated debt; during fiscal year 2000, exchange losses of Ps. 139,692 were capitalized as part of fixed asset costs. Foreign exchange losses, which are not capitalized, and all foreign exchange gains, are charged and credited, respectively, to income. This resulted in net exchange gains credited to income of Ps. 3,891,701, Ps. 876,736, and Ps. 2,949,615 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
F-12
j) Retirement benefits and seniority premiums
PEMEX has established a pension plan for retirement and seniority premiums to be paid to its employees. The liability is computed by an independent actuary, based upon the projected unit-credit method. PEMEX has recorded the results of the actuarial valuation in accordance with Mexican GAAP Bulletin D-3, "Labor Obligations," except that, due to the recognition of the effects of inflation in accordance with NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A, the liabilities are computed using nominal interest rates.
Payments for indemnities to dismissed personnel are charged to income as and when the expense is incurred.
k) Cost of sales
Cost of sales is determined by adding to inventories at the beginning of the year the increase in the specific oil-field exploration and depletion reserve (a fixed charge per extracted barrel), the operating cost of oil fields, refineries and plants (including internally-consumed products), the purchase cost of crude oil and refined and other products, and deducting the value of inventories at the end of the year. Cost of sales also includes a portion of the depreciation and amortization expense associated with assets used in operations as well as the expense associated with the reserve for future dismantlement and abandonment costs.
l) Taxes and federal duties
Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Entities are subject to special tax laws, which are based upon petroleum revenues and do not generate temporary differences or deferred income taxes. Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Entities are not subject to theLey del Impuesto Sobre la Renta (Income Tax Law) or theLey del Impuesto al Activo ("Assets Tax Law"). Some of the Subsidiary Companies are subject to the Income Tax Law; however, such Subsidiary Companies do not generate significant deferred income taxes.
Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Entities are subject to the following duties and taxes: Hydrocarbon Extraction Duties, Hydrocarbon Income Tax and the Special Tax on Production and Services ("IEPS Tax"). Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Entities are also subject to the Value Added Tax ("VAT").
Hydrocarbon extraction duties are calculated at a rate of 52.3% on the net cash flow difference between crude oil sales and extraction costs and expenses. Extraordinary and additional hydrocarbon extraction duties are calculated at a rate of 25.5% and 1.1%, respectively, on the same basis. The hydrocarbon income tax is equivalent to the regular income tax applied to all Mexican corporations, a tax to which Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Entities are not subject; this rate was 35% for all periods presented.
The sum of the above duties and taxes must equal 60.8% of Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Entities' annual sales revenues to third parties (and an additional 39.2% of the portion of revenues in respect of crude oil sales at prices in excess of U.S. $18.00, U.S. $15.00 and U.S. $9.25 per barrel for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively). Therefore, to the extent that the sum of hydrocarbon extraction duties is less than 60.8% of sales to third parties, additional taxes are paid to reach that level.
m) Special Tax on Production and Services ("IEPS Tax")
The special tax on production and services charged to customers is a tax on the domestic sales of gasoline and diesel. The applicable rates depend on, among other factors, the product, producer's price, freight costs, commissions and the region in which the respective product is sold. For financial statement purposes, the special tax on production and services is presented as part of
F-13
"Net domestic sales" and then deducted after "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other".
n) Revenue recognition
For all export products, risk of loss and ownership title is transferred upon shipment, and thus PEMEX records sales revenue upon shipment to customers abroad. In the case of certain domestic sales in which the customer takes product delivery at a PEMEX facility, sales revenues are recorded upon product pick-up. For domestic sales in which PEMEX is responsible for product delivery, risk of loss and ownership is transferred at the delivery point, and PEMEX records sales revenue upon delivery.
o) Financial instruments
Prior to January 1, 2001, the effects on the consolidated statements of operations of entering into "swap" transactions were recorded as incurred and when the precise settlement amounts were known. The effects on the consolidated statements of operations of other derivative instruments, including premiums paid or received, were recognized at the date of receipt or payment. Such amounts were included in the consolidated statements of operations within the "Interest, net" caption (see Note 10).
During February 2000, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-2, "Financial Instruments", which became effective as of January 1, 2001. Bulletin C-2 provides guidance for recognizing, measuring and disclosing information about financial assets and financial liabilities, including accounting for derivative financial transactions. Bulletin C-2 requires that all financial instruments, with the exception of derivative financial instruments designated as hedges and held to maturity investments, be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair values and changes in their fair value are recognized in earnings of each period. With respect to derivative financial instruments, Bulletin C-2 requires that they be accounted for in the same manner as the items being hedged; held to maturity investments are recorded at amortized cost, subject to impairment evaluation.
As a result of the adoption of Bulletin C-2 as of January 1, 2001, PEMEX recognized a charge to earnings totaling Ps. 1,331,247 which has been reflected as a cumulative effect of adopting a new accounting standard. The adjustment was primarily the result for the accounting for the equity swap related to Repsol YPF, S.A. ("Repsol") shares (see additional discussion in Note 10). As more fully described in Note 10, PEMEX has three outstanding equity swaps involving Repsol shares. As Bulletin C-2 has no provision for hedging forecasted transactions, nor does it permit the equity swap to be treated as a hedge since the Repsol shares were considered to have been sold for Mexican GAAP purposes in prior years, the entire fair value at January 1, 2001 related to the equity swaps, which totalled Ps. 1,241,514 was recognized as part of the cumulative effect adjustment. The remainder of the cumulative effect adjustment related to interest rate and cross currency swaps entered into to hedge borrowings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These swaps are entered into at or near inception of the debt and carry similar terms and conditions; thus forming a "highly effective" financial hedge.
p) Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and the disclosures presented as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Events and occurrences, which could result in financial statement loss, are reviewed periodically, and contingencies identified are assessed as remote, possible or probable in accordance with Bulletin C-12, "Contingencies and Commitments". When a loss contingency is viewed to be possible, it is disclosed together with a range of potential loss, when determinable. When a loss contingency is viewed
F-14
to be probable, it is disclosed, and an accrual as to the most likely loss scenario is recorded in the financial statements.
q) Comprehensive income
In August 2000, the MIPA issued Bulletin B-4, "Comprehensive Income". Bulletin B-4 defines comprehensive income as the net income for the period presented in the statement of operations plus other results for the period reflected in equity which are from non-owner sources, and requires the disclosure of the components of comprehensive income in the presentation of financial statements. Bulletin B-4 became effective January 1, 2001, and the statement of changes in equity for prior periods has been restated to conform to the current year presentation (see Note 12).
r) Convenience translation
United States dollar ("U.S. dollar") amounts shown in the balance sheets, the statements of operations, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of changes in financial position have been included solely for the convenience of the reader. Such amounts are translated from pesos, as a matter of arithmetic computation only, at an exchange rate of 9.1423 pesos per U.S. dollar, which is the December 31, 2001 exchange rate for the settlement of obligations in foreign currencies provided by Banco de México and the SHCP. Translations herein should not be construed as a representation that the peso amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the foregoing rate or any other rate.
s) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to 2000 and 1999 amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to conform such amounts and disclosures to the current year presentation.
t) Recently issued accounting standards
In November 2001, MIPA issued revised Bulletin C-9, "Liabilities, Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Commitments" ("Bulletin C-9"), which supersedes existing Bulletin C-9, "Liabilities", and Bulletin C-12, "Contingencies and Commitments". Bulletin C-9 establishes a methodology for valuation, presentation and disclosure of liabilities and provisions, as well as for valuation and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and for disclosure of commitments. Among other things, Bulletin C-9 establishes guidelines for the recognition of liabilities and non-recognition of liabilities in the event of extinguishments, restructurings or conversion to equity. In addition, in the case of provisions, it introduces the concept of discounting long-term provisions. With respect to contingent liabilities, Bulletin C-9 states that all contingent liabilities that have a probable realization must be accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements; contingent liabilities that have a possible realization cannot be accounted for in the financial statements, but must be disclosed; and contingent liabilities that have a remote realization cannot be accounted for in the financial statements and are not required to be disclosed. Bulletin C-9 requires disclosure of committed amounts when they represent significant fixed asset additions, contracted services and goods that exceed immediate needs or if the commitment is considered a contracted obligation. The provisions of Bulletin C-9 become effective beginning January 1, 2003, although early adoption is recommended. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of Bulletin C-9 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2001, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-8, "Intangible Assets" ("Bulletin C-8"), which defines intangible assets as costs incurred and rights or privileges acquired that will generate a future economic benefit. Bulletin C-8 provides a clear definition of research and development costs, requiring
F-15
that only development costs may be deferred to a future period. Furthermore, Bulletin C-8 states that preoperating costs should be expensed as a period cost, unless they could be classified as development costs. Bulletin C-8 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, including previously existing goodwill and intangible assets, should not be amortized, but should be tested for impairment annually. Goodwill and intangible assets with finite useful lives should be amortized over their useful lives. The provisions of Bulletin C-8 become effective beginning January 1, 2003, although early adoption is recommended. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of Bulletin C-8 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

PMI NASA has a joint venture with Shell Oil Company, in which it owns a 50% interest in a petroleum refinery located in Deer Park, Texas. The investment is accounted for under the equity method and amounts to Ps. 2,478,969 and Ps. 2,229,238, respectively, at December 31, 2001 and 2000. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, PEMEX recorded Ps. 530,949, Ps. 498,983 and Ps. (687,301) respectively, of earnings (losses) relative to its interest in the joint venture which has been reflected in the line item "Other revenues" in the statements of operations. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, PEMEX paid the joint venture Ps. 3,717,666, Ps. 3,217,047 and Ps. 1,627,591 respectively, for the processing of petroleum. During 2000 and 1999, PEMEX, through its subsidiary company, PMI NASA, paid Ps. 15,768 and Ps. 29,259 respectively, to the joint venture under the terms of the contract which calls for contributions from PMI NASA based upon the refinery's operating margin. In July 2000, the above noted contract was modified retroactively respective to the contribution on the refining operating margin; the amounts presented are as revised per the modified contract.
Long-term investments also include PEMEX's 46.85% investment in Mexicana de Lubricantes, S.A. de C.V. ("MexLub") an associated company which is accounted for under the equity method. PEMEX's investment in MexLub amounted to Ps. 642,619 and Ps. 686,937, at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
7. Sale of future accounts receivable
On December 1, 1998, Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, PMI and P.M.I. Services B.V. entered into several agreements with Pemex Finance, Ltd. ("Pemex Finance"), a limited liability company which was organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Under these agreements, Pemex Finance purchases certain existing accounts receivable for crude oil, as well as certain accounts receivable to be generated in the future by Pemex-Exploration and Production and PMI related to crude oil. The receivables sold are those generated by the sale of Maya crude oil to designated customers in the United States, Canada, and Aruba. The net resources obtained by Pemex-Exploration and Production from the sale of such receivables under the agreements are utilized for PIDIREGAS (see Note 2 d)). At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the sales under these agreements were Ps. 44,685,602 and Ps. 51,976,573, respectively.
"Sale of future accounts receivable" has been classified as a long-term liability as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. The agreements between Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, PMI, P.M.I. Services B.V. and Pemex Finance establish short-term repayments; however, such agreements are evergreen and it is not expected that current resources will be used in repayments as the agreements do not bear a re-financing risk. Pemex Finance has a proven continuous ability to contract debt in the international market sufficient to sustain the acquisition of accounts receivable from PEMEX.

In 1983, 1985, 1987, and 1990, Petróleos Mexicanos, together with the Mexican Government, entered into various covenants with the international banking community for restructuring its debt. As a result of the final agreement, the remaining balance of the restructured Mexican Government debt retained, principally, the same interest rate conditions as had been negotiated in 1987. The agreed-upon periods of amortization including a provision for division of the debt into two main portions with amortization over 52 and 48 quarters, respectively. The first amortization period began in 1994 and the second began in 1995, with both scheduled to end in December 2006.
Each year, SHCP approves Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities' annual budget and its annual financing program. The Mexican Government incorporates Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities' annual budget and annual financing program into the budget of the Mexican Government, which the Federal Congress of Mexico must approve each year. PEMEX's debt is not an obligation of, or guaranteed by, the Mexican Government. However, under theLey General de Deuda Pública (the General Law of Public Debt), Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities' foreign debt obligations must be approved by and registered with the SHCP and are considered Mexican external public debt. Although Petróleos Mexicanos' debt is not guaranteed by the Mexican Government, Petróleos Mexicanos' external debt has receivedpari passu treatment in previous debt restructurings. Petróleos Mexicanos has repayments in 2002 related to current portion of long-term debt. A portion of this debt, primarily bankers' acceptances and commercial paper, is contractually committed until the year 2004, and thus does not bear a refinancing risk.

10. Financial instruments
During the normal course of business, PEMEX is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk, counterparty risk and investment portfolio risk. These risks create volatility in earnings, equity, and cash flows from period to period. PEMEX makes use of derivative instruments in various strategies to eliminate or limit many of these risks.
PEMEX has enacted general risk management guidelines for the use of derivative instruments, which form a comprehensive framework for PEMEX. Each subsidiary entity using derivatives has also adopted industry-specific risk management guidelines to manage the appropriate risks arising from their respective activities. The subsidiary entities' guidelines operate within the general risk management framework of PEMEX.
The Risk Management Committee of PEMEX, comprised of representatives of PEMEX, the Central Bank of Mexico, SHCP, and PMI, authorizes PEMEX's hedging strategies and submits the risk management policies for the approval of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos (the Board of Directors).
During 2001, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring of the risk management area and created the Risk Management Deputy Direction, whose objective is to develop the financial and
F-23
operational risk management strategy for PEMEX and to establish institutional regulations consistent with a consolidated risk management approach.
(i) Credit risk
PEMEX is subject to credit risk through trade receivables, short-term cash investments and derivative financial instruments. A significant portion of PEMEX's sales are to customers whose activities are related to the oil and gas industry, including some who are located in foreign countries (primarily the United States). To monitor this risk, PEMEX has established an internal credit committee to monitor credit policies and procedures. PEMEX extends credit to these customers which are generally covered by credit mitigation instruments such as bonds or letters of credit. Nevertheless, collection of receivables is affected by the economy of the oil and gas industry and of Mexico itself (since products are also sold in the domestic market). Also, with respect to foreign sales, collection may be more difficult in the event of a default. However, PEMEX closely monitors extensions of credit and has never experienced significant credit losses. Also, most foreign sales are made to large, well-established companies.
PEMEX invests excess cash in low-risk, liquid instruments, which are placed with a wide array of institutions.
(ii) Counterparty risk from the use of derivative financial instruments
PEMEX is exposed to credit (or repayment) risk and market risk through the use of derivative instruments. If the counterparty fails to fulfill its performance obligations under a derivative contract, PEMEX's credit risk will equal the positive market value in a derivative. Currently, when the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, this indicates that the counterparty owes PEMEX, thus creating a repayment risk for PEMEX. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, PEMEX owes the counterparty and, therefore, assumes no repayment risk.
In order to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments, PEMEX enters into transactions with high quality counterparties which include financial institutions and commodities exchanges that satisfy PEMEX's established credit approval criteria. Normally, these counterparties have higher credit standing than that of PEMEX.
Derivative transactions are generally executed on the basis of standard agreements. In general, collateral for financial derivative transactions are neither provided nor received. However in energy derivatives transactions, counterparties require collateral when the negative fair value of the position exceeds the credit threshold.
(iii) Interest rate risk management
PEMEX's interest rate risk hedging strategy allows the volatility of the financial risk to be reduced in the operating cash flows of PEMEX for the long-term debt commitments and guaranteed minimum dividends. Interest rate derivatives allow PEMEX to contract long-term loans to be contracted at fixed or variable rates and to select the appropriate mix of the debt at variable versus fixed rates.
Interest rate hedging strategies have permitted PEMEX to effectively change the characteristics of its liabilities. At December 31, 2001, the effective interest rate on approximately 60% (51% in 2000) of PEMEX's debt is at a fixed rate, contracted directly or by using derivatives instruments.
Derivative financial instruments used in PEMEX's hedging transactions primarily consist of (i) fixed interest rate swaps, under which PEMEX is eligible to receive payments generally based on the three month and six month LIBOR interest rate, and to a lesser degree, (ii) options on interest rate caps to establish an interest rate ceiling.
F-24
(iv) Exchange rate risk management
As a currency exchange rate risk hedging policy, PEMEX contracts cross-currency swaps in order to hedge against adverse changes in currency exchange rates.
Since a significant amount of PEMEX's revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars, PEMEX generally contracts loans in U.S. dollars. However, PEMEX also contracts debt in currencies other than the U.S. dollar to take advantage of the financing terms available in these foreign currencies. PEMEX has historically contracted cross-currency swaps as a hedging strategy against market exposure due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar. These foreign currency financial derivatives have been established to translate the amounts relative to various bonds issued in other currencies into U.S. dollars.
(v) Commodity price risk management
Crude oil:
PEMEX's exports and domestic sales are related to international hydrocarbon prices, thus exposing PEMEX to fluctuations in international markets. PEMEX shares this risk with the Mexican Government through its current fiscal regime. Currently, PEMEX does not hedge against fluctuations in crude oil prices. However, in order to lessen the effect of a decline in hydrocarbon prices, since 1998, the Mexican Government, along with PEMEX, agreed to reduce the volume of crude oil exports in conjunction with the major international oil producers to improve international oil prices.
Petroleum products:
PEMEX balances its overall petroleum product supply and demand through PMI Trading Ltd., managing only those exposures associated with the immediate operational program. To this end, PEMEX uses the full range of conventional oil price-related financial and commodity derivatives available in the oil markets. PEMEX's benchmark for petroleum product commercial activities is the prevailing market price.
Natural gas:
As part of the Mexican Government's policy of promoting economic growth, SHCP, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Energy and PEMEX announced a natural gas pricing program on January 2001 for certain industrial consumers of natural gas in Mexico. Under this program, Mexican industrial consumers that hold outstanding natural gas price hedging instruments may enter into a three-year agreement with PEMEX to purchase natural gas from PEMEX at a fixed reference price of 4.00 U.S. dollars per million BTUs. PEMEX entered into a number of such contracts in 2001. Participation by the industrial consumers in the program is optional.
As part of PEMEX's risk management strategy, PEMEX has entered into a number of derivative instruments, primarily swaps and futures, for hedging purposes. These instruments are designed to unlock the fixed price sales under the three-year agreements, while locking in a profit margin, and were entered into for approximately 91% of the total volume of natural gas sold under these three-year fixed price agreements. The risk management strategy used to hedge these fixed price sales leaves PEMEX with an exposure to basis risk arising from the difference between the index used to hedge the natural gas sales at a fixed price and the index used as reference to mark to market these contracts. This basis risk is treated as an inefficiency of the transaction and may impact PEMEX's earnings in a period other than the one during which the transaction may be realized.
(vi) Investment portfolio risk management
PEMEX currently holds three equity swaps with respect to shares of Repsol with two counterparties. In 1994, PEMEX entered into an equity swap for substantially all of its ownership interest in Repsol (44,985,000 shares). The equity swap was restructured in March 2000, with respect to
F-25
26,427,781 Repsol shares (with the remaining 18,557,219 shares in the original swap being returned to PEMEX). The restructured swap was divided in three tranches, having one-, two- and three-year maturities. Upon the maturity of the one-year tranche in 2001, PEMEX entered into a new swap for another three months, commencing in April 2001 and since then, this swap has been renewed periodically. Upon the maturity of the two-year tranche of the restructured swap in April 2002, PEMEX entered into a new swap for three months. In addition, in January 2000, PEMEX entered into a second equity swap with respect to 13,679,704 Repsol shares maturing in three years. These shares had been purchased in 1999. As of December 31, 2001, the market value of the Repsol shares was 14.57 U.S. dollars per share.
The above equity swaps, which are uncollateralized, involve the option to be cash or physically settled.
In December 1999, PEMEX unwound a collar component of a call spread swap with a financial institution. This enabled PEMEX not to limit potential gains. The resulting structure is that of an asset swap. The realized cost of termination of the collar component was Ps. 2,666,173, with Ps. 1,058,504 being paid in 1999 and Ps. 1,607,669 being paid in early 2000; the full expense related to the collar termination cost was recorded in 1999.
(vii) Fair value of derivative financial instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is sensitive to movements in the underlying market rates and variables. PEMEX monitors the fair value of derivatives instruments on a periodic basis. The fair value of foreign currency, commodity and interest rate derivatives is monitored on a periodic basis ranging from daily to at least quarterly. Fair values are calculated for each derivative financial instrument, which is the price at which one party would assume the rights and duties of another party. Fair values of financial derivatives have been calculated using common market valuation methods with reference to available market data as of the balance sheet date.
The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions for the valuation of utilized derivative financial instruments.
- •
- Currency, crude oil forwards, crude oil, gas and product swaps are valued separately at future rates or market prices as of the balance sheet date. The fair values of spot and forward contracts are based on spot prices that consider forward premiums or discounts from quoted prices in the relevant markets when possible.
- •
- Market prices for currency, crude oil and gas options are valued using standard option-pricing models commonly used in the market. Embedded caps, floor and collars are considered in the valuation by calculating the fair value separately for such features similar to stand-alone options.
- •
- The fair values of existing instruments to hedge interest rate risk were determined by discounting future cash flows using market interest rates over the remaining term of the instrument. Discounted cash values are determined for interest rate and cross currency swaps for each individual transaction as of the balance sheet date. Interest exchange amounts are considered with an effect on current results at the date of payment or accrual. Market values for interest rate options are determined on the basis of quoted market prices or on calculations based on option pricing models.
- •
- Exchange-traded oil and energy future contracts are valued individually at daily settlement prices determined on the futures markets that are published by their respective clearing houses. Paid initial margins are disclosed under other assets. Variation margins received or paid during the term are stated under other liabilities or other assets, respectively. They are accounted for with an impact on earnings at settlement or realization, respectively.

Long-term debt | 123,169,995 | 127,235,896 | 104,370,025 | 106,230,257 |
The reported amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, taxes payable and short-term debt approximate fair value because of their short maturities.
The fair value of long-term debt is determined by reference to market quotes, and, where quotes are not available, is based on discounted cash flow analyses. Because assumptions significantly affect the derived fair value and they are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values would not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.
11. Reserve for retirement payments, pensions and seniority premiums
PEMEX has labor obligations for seniority premiums and pensions, according to regulations established by theLey Federal del Trabajo (the "Federal Labor Law"), and provisions in the individual and collective labor contracts. This compensation is only payable after the worker or employee has worked a certain number of years. Benefits are based on the employee's compensation as of his retirement date, as well as the number of years of service. PEMEX has established a reserve for retirement and seniority premium benefits, determined by independent actuaries. The reserve is calculated by independent third party actuaries using the projected unit-credit method. The net cost of the plan recorded in the consolidated statements of operations amounted to Ps. 33,849,168, Ps. 29,901,504 and Ps. 25,022,850 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

13. Equity
On December 31, 1990, certain debt owed by Petróleos Mexicanos to the Mexican Government was capitalized as equity. This capitalization amounted to Ps. 22,334,195 (U.S. $7,577,000) and was authorized by the Board of Directors. The capitalization agreement between Petróleos Mexicanos and the Mexican Government stipulates that the Certificates of Contribution "A" constitute permanent capital.
As a condition of this capitalization, Petróleos Mexicanos agreed to pay a minimum guaranteed dividend to the Mexican Government equal to the debt service for the capitalized debt. The minimum guaranteed dividend consists of the payment of principal and interest in the same terms and conditions as those originally agreed upon with international creditors until the year 2006, at the exchange rates in effect as of the date payments are made. Such payments must be approved annually by the Board of Directors.
In December 1997, the Board of Directors and the Mexican Government agreed to an equity reduction of the Certificates of Contribution "A" in exchange for a cash payment to the Mexican Government of Ps. 12,118,050 (U.S. $1,500,000). Petróleos Mexicanos and SHCP agreed upon a corresponding reduction in the future payments of the minimum guaranteed dividend.
F-29
During 2001, Petróleos Mexicanos paid Ps. 2,152,788 (Ps. 5,563,799 during 2000) to the Mexican Government in advance payments on account of the minimum guaranteed dividend. These payments will be applied to the final amount that the Board of Directors approves as the total annual dividend, which is usually in the following fiscal year.
On October 31, 1998, PEMEX liquidated its investment in the shares of Distribuidora de Gas Natural del Estado de México, S.A. de C.V. and recorded a gain in other revenues of Ps. 406,677. PEMEX also recorded in the 1998 operating results, dividends of Ps. 372,840 received during the year from that company. All proceeds obtained from these operations were deposited in the Federal Treasury, through a dividend in the favor of the Mexican Government, approved by the Board of Directors on August 3, 1999.
On January 31, 1999, PEMEX liquidated its investment in the shares of Distribuidora de Gas de Querétaro, S.A. de C.V., and recorded a gain of Ps. 231,074 in the 1999 operating results. The proceeds obtained from that operation were deposited in the Federal Treasury, through a dividend in the favor of the Mexican Government, approved by the Board of Directors on May 9, 2000.

The above table was prepared using the following procedures and assumptions:
Balance sheets:
- 1)
- Currency exchange losses arising from the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the foreign currency denominated debt and interest capitalized as part of fixed assets under NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A are, because of the restatement, charged to income for the year under Bulletin B-10, and would be reflected as part of the "Comprehensive cost of financing".
- 2)
- The Certificates of Contribution "A" have been restated by applying the factor derived from the NCPI Index to the contributions based on the year in which they were made, in order to present them in terms of the same purchasing power. The same procedure was applied to the equity reserves and retained earnings. The figure for these items is presented under the caption "Restatement of equity".
- 3)
- The deficit or surplus from holding non-monetary assets represents the difference achieved by comparing these asset balances, restated as discussed in Note 2 b), to the result from applying NCPI indexes to such non-monetary assets.
F-32
There is evidence that the restated amounts of some of the assets might exceed their "fair value," which is defined as the amount of the net cash flows that are reasonably expected to be received from the use of such assets. The approximate amounts of that overstatement at December 31, 2001 and 2000, are estimated at Ps. 35,199,400 and Ps. 30,407,300, respectively; these amounts have not been deducted from the restated amount of the assets, as required by Bulletin B-10. As stated in Note 2 b), NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A does not consider the concept of fair value.
Statements of operations:
- 4)
- The gain from monetary position represents the effect that inflation has produced on monetary assets and liabilities. Holding these assets produces a loss; holding such liabilities produces a gain.
The initial accumulated result upon implementation of Bulletin B-10 arising from the restatement is presented in equity. The result for the year is applied to the "Comprehensive cost of financing", which includes interest expense and exchange losses.
Other:
- 5)
- The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 would be stated in pesos with purchasing power restated as of those dates and the related consolidated statements of operations are stated in pesos reflecting average purchasing power for those years. The consolidated balance sheets are prepared under a NIF-06 BIS "A" Section A basis (see Note 2 b)).
16. Commitments and contingencies
- a.
- PEMEX is involved in various lawsuits filed against it by dismissed personnel, which in the event of being resolved in favor of the dismissed personnel, would result in a charge to operations in the year in which the payment is made. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these events will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
- b.
- PEMEX is subject to theLey General de Equilibrio Ecológico y Protección al Ambiente (the General Law on Ecology and Protection of the Environment, or the "Environmental Law"). To comply with this law, PEMEX has contracted environmental audits for its larger operating, storage and transportation facilities. To date, audits of refineries, secondary petrochemical plants and certain other facilities have been concluded. Following the completion of such audits, PEMEX signed various agreements with theProcuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente (the Federal Attorney of Environmental Protection, or "PROFEPA") to implement environmental remedy and improvement plans. Such plans consider remedy for environmental damages previously caused, as well as related investments for the improvement of equipment, maintenance, labor and materials.
- c.
- A trust agreement has been formed between Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals as beneficiary, Distribuidora de Gas de Querétaro, S.A. de C.V.; DGN de la Laguna Durango, S. de R.L. de C.V.; DGN de Chihuahua, S. de R.L. de C.V.; Repsol México, S.A. de C.V. (now Gas Natural de México, S.A. de C.V.); Gas Natural del Río Pánuco, S. de R.L. de C.V.; Tamauligas, S.A. de C.V.; NATGASMEX, S.A. de C.V.; Consorcio Mexigas, S.A. de C.V.; Comercializadora Metrogas, S.A. de C.V. (formerly DIGANAMEX, S.A. de C.V.) and Distribuidora de Gas Natural de Jalisco, S.A. de C.V., as trustees, and the Banco Nacional de Obras y Servicios Públicos, S.N.C. (National Bank of Public Works and Services, S.N.C.) as
PEMEX has recorded obligations for environmental remediation as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 of Ps. 2,316,175 and Ps. 2,837,758, respectively. These liabilities are included in the "Reserve for sundry creditors and others".
F-33
- d.
- PEMEX, through its subsidiaries PMI and PMI-NASA, has executed several long-term purchase and sale contracts for Maya crude oil with various refineries. These contracts oblige the buyers to construct conversion units (coking/catalyst conversion units) that permit the optimization of yields from the refining process of Maya crude. PMI, in its role, principally has the obligation to assign Maya crude oil once the new investments have been completed.
trust administrator. Pursuant to this agreement, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals is obligated to transfer the right to the use of assets associated with natural gas distribution from Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals to the trustees and, in return, the trustees are obligated to deposit in the trust a payment for the right of use of the transferred assets. This payment was approximately Ps. 332,799, Ps. 332,799 and Ps. 250,179 at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The trust administrator is obligated to transfer the ownership of the assets to the trustees once the title and control of the assets has been formalized and properly accredited into the name of the trustees.
The contracts which have been signed to date include:
- (i)
- An agreement with Clark Refining and Marketing Inc. (now Port Arthur Coker Company), signed in March 1998 for delivery of crude oil to its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, U.S.A. The contract is for approximately 158,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil to be delivered for a period of seven years following project completion, which occurred in April 2001.
- (ii)
- An agreement with Coastal Aruba Refining Company N.V., signed in July 1998, for delivery of crude oil to its refinery in Lagoweg, Aruba. The contract is for approximately 100,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil to be delivered for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in April 2000.
- (iii)
- An agreement with Exxon Company U.S.A. and Exxon Trading Company International, signed in September 1998 for delivery of crude oil to its refinery in Baytown, Texas, U.S.A. The contract is for approximately 65,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil to be delivered for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in December 2001.
- (iv)
- In May 1999, an agreement, signed with Pecten Trading Company, which is a trading subsidiary of Shell Oil Company and PMI-NASA to expand the refinery at Deer Park Refining Limited Partnership by increasing its total processing capacity from 280,000 barrels per day to 340,000 barrels per day; the project was completed in April 2001. The increased requirements for heavy crude are satisfied through an increase in the supply of Maya crude oil from PMI, which increased its existing agreements with Pecten and PMI-NASA from 140,000 barrels per day to 200,000 barrels per day, 50,000 barrels per day of the additional contractual quantity are contracted under terms similar to the other agreements mentioned in this section.
- (v)
- An agreement with Marathon Ashland Supply LLC, signed in May 1999 to supply its Garyville, Louisiana, U.S.A. refinery with approximately 90,000 barrels per day, which by today has been increased to up to 100,000 barrels per day, of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in December 2001.
- (vi)
- An agreement with Valero Marketing & Supply Company and Valero Refining-Texas, L.P., signed in December 2001 to supply its Texas City, Texas, U.S.A. refinery with approximately 90,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which is scheduled to occur on or before October 1, 2003.
F-34
- (vii)
- An agreement with Chevron Products Company, signed in March 2002 to supply its Pascagoula, Mississippi, U.S.A. refinery with approximately 130,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which is scheduled to occur in April 2003.
- e.
- At December 31, 2001, PEMEX is involved in various civil, tax and administrative lawsuits with a total claim amount of Ps. 11,888,473. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, PEMEX has accrued Ps. 1,026,561 and Ps. 368,873, respectively, related to those contingencies for which management believes that the outcome will be unfavorable.
- f.
- PEMEX presently faces claims in courts, filed by service providers for damages amounting to U.S. $497,300 (Ps. 4,546,466). Those legal proceedings have recently begun and PEMEX believes that to date it is not necessary to create any provision.
- g.
- PEMEX has been sued by a supplier for late and non-payment of billings and other items for a total of U.S. $79,276 (Ps. 724,765). Based on an analysis of the documentation presented by the supplier, PEMEX recognized a liability of U.S. $4,576 (Ps. 41,835). In addition, PEMEX will file suit against the supplier for U.S. $4,949 (Ps. 45,245) for unsatisfactory work. At the present time, documentary evidence is now in the process of being presented to the court.
- h.
- PEMEX has a nitrogen supply contract for the pressure maintenance program for the Cantarell field that expires in 2015. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the value of the nitrogen to be supplied during the term of the contract is approximately Ps. 22,015,737 and Ps. 25,525,000, respectively. In the event of the annulment of the contract for causes attributable to PEMEX, PEMEX would be required to purchase the nitrogen production plant from the supplier for Ps. 8,310,456.
- i.
- As discussed in Note 10, PEMEX sold 13,679,704 shares of Repsol and simultaneously contracted an equity swap on such shares with an international financial institution. The agreement contains a mandatory re-purchase clause for the shares. The repurchase commitment is for U.S. $292,000.
- j.
- TheComisión Federal de Competencia ("Federal Competition Commission") handed down a resolution against PEMEX for presumed monopolistic policies relative to exclusivity clauses for the sale of lubricants, grease, and oil. The resolution established the following measures:
- •
- The payment of a fine in the amount of Ps. 17,055;
- •
- Amendment of the joint venture agreements, use of trademark license contract, franchise supply contract, as well as documents containing the exclusivity clause;
- •
- Amendment of contracts with franchise service stations to adjust franchise and supply contracts; and
- •
- Report the resolution handed down by the Federal Competition Commission to the legal representatives of service stations.
- k.
- At December 31, 2001, PEMEX has entered into contracts with various contractors for an approximate amount of Ps. 46,819,776. These contracts are for the development of PIDIREGAS and, therefore, subject to standards required in NIF-09-A (see Note 2 d)).
To date, PEMEX has filed two appeals for constitutional relief from this resolution. One appeal was resolved favorably in the first instance, because it was challenged through an appeal for review. A ruling thereon has not been handed down yet. A ruling by the appeals court has not been handed down on the other appeal.
F-35
- l.
- In the normal course of business, PEMEX is named in a number of lawsuits of various natures. PEMEX evaluates the merit of each claim and assesses the likely outcome, accruing a contingent liability when an unfavorable decision is probable and the amount is reasonable estimable. PEMEX does not believe a materially unfavorable outcome is probable for any known or pending lawsuits or threatened litigation for which PEMEX has not made accruals.
17. Marketing of gas
During 2000 and through February 2001, the market selling price of liquid gas was determined by reference to the average price for the last three months with a maximum increase of up to 2%. Effective March 2001, by decree of the Economic Committee headed by the Ministry of Economy, the selling price was set at 3.461 pesos per ton for a four month period. On July 27, 2001, theComisión Reguladora de Energía ("CRE") published a release for the selling price of liquid gas in the Official Daily Gazette, effective August 1, 2001. This price release consists of applying the reference market selling price of liquid gas which is based upon the Mount Bellevue price.
18. Hydrocarbon reserves (unaudited)
In accordance with the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States and the Organic Law, all reserves of petroleum and other hydrocarbons in Mexico are the property of the nation. Furthermore, as mandated by the Organic Law, PEMEX has the exclusive right to extract and exploit the resources. Mexico's proved reserves of hydrocarbons were 21,893 million barrels of oil equivalent at December 31, 2001 and 23,525 million barrels of oil equivalent at December 31, 2000. Reserves have been adjusted by revisions, increases and developments and have been decreased by the production for the year.
19. Differences between Mexican GAAP and U. S. GAAP
A summary of the significant differences between the accounting principles followed by PEMEX and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") is presented below.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP and, as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with NIF-06-BIS "A" section A applicable to public-sector entities, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. Such differences involve methods for measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Explanation of reconciling items:
- (a)
- Exploration and drilling costs
As discussed in Notes 2 e) and 2 f), under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX charges exploration and drilling costs to the equity reserve for exploration and depletion of oil fields. Exploration and drilling costs related to successful oil wells are credited to the equity reserve and recorded as fixed assets. Cost of sales is recognized by recording a per-crude oil barrel quota charge in the statement of operations and recording a credit to the equity reserve.
F-38
Under U.S. GAAP, costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells are initially capitalized and are charged to expense if proved reserves are not discovered. Development costs, including the costs of drilling development wells and development-type stratigraphic test wells are capitalized. The capitalized costs of wells and related equipment are amortized on a UOP basis, as the related oil and gas reserves are extracted. Costs of unproved properties are assessed periodically and a loss is recognized if the properties are determined to be impaired (See also Note 19 I (i)). PEMEX has accordingly adjusted the results of operations and equity to reflect the impact of U.S. GAAP on exploration and drilling costs;i.e., the Mexican GAAP operations charge related to the cost per barrel has been reversed, the equity account related to the specific oil field exploration and drilling reserve has been reversed to zero, and costs related to properties in the exploration and development phase have been capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The adjustment is net of the difference in amortization for capitalized amounts.
- (b)
- Pensions and seniority premiums
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX follows the guidance in Bulletin D-3, which establishes the procedures for measuring the expenses and liabilities for pension plans and seniority premiums. The primary differences between PEMEX's application of Bulletin D-3 and the U.S. GAAP guidance provided in SFAS No. 87, "Employers Accounting for Pensions", relate to actuarial assumptions and implementation dates. PEMEX adopted SFAS No. 87 effective January 1, 1989 and recorded a transition obligation on adoption which is being amortized over 15 years.
- (c)
- Post-retirement benefits
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX accounts for supplemental payments under its Bulletin D-3 calculations. PEMEX, however, accounts for other health service benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. Under U.S. GAAP, PEMEX follows the guidelines of SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," in accounting for health service and other supplemental payments provided to retirees. SFAS No. 106 requires the accrual of the expected cost of providing such benefits to employees during the years that the employees render service.
- (d)
- Accrued vacation
Under Mexican GAAP, vacation expense is recognized when the vacation is utilized by the employee. Under U.S. GAAP, vacation expense is accrued for when earned by the employee.
- (e)
- Inflation accounting
As mentioned in Note 2 b), PEMEX's consolidated financial statements recognize the effects of inflation pursuant to NIF-06-BIS "A" Section A, which requires that non-monetary assets, including inventories of materials and supplies and fixed assets be restated to their net realizable value (in the case of inventories) or in the case of fixed assets, through appraisals made by independent appraisers or by using the specific price index, with the difference being recorded as a revaluation surplus in equity.
U.S. GAAP does not require the recognition of the effects of inflation on the consolidated financial statements. Since NIF-06-BIS "A" Section A is not deemed to be a comprehensive method of accounting for inflation (as discussed in Note 15), PEMEX has eliminated retroactively to 1992 the effect of revaluation of fixed assets, inventories and costs of sales from the reconciliation of income and equity. PEMEX has not adjusted the depreciation effect of fixed asset revaluations prior to 1992 under NIF-06-BIS "A" section A for the reconciliation of income and equity. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the 1992 balances became the historical basis of the fixed assets.
- (f)
- Fixed assets-depreciation
F-39
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX depreciates the book value of its fixed assets, which includes amounts capitalized for foreign exchange losses and restatements for inflation. For U.S. GAAP purposes, PEMEX has reversed the depreciation expense attributable to restatements for inflation (adjustment (e)) and foreign currency exchange losses (adjustment (g)) which are included in the Mexican GAAP basis of the fixed assets.
- (g)
- Fixed assets-foreign currency exchange losses
Under Mexican GAAP, exchange losses arising from debt are capitalized as part of fixed assets any remaining net exchange differences is reflected in the statement of operations as either a debit to costs and operating expenses or a credit to revenues.
Under U.S. GAAP, all exchange gains or losses have been recognized in results of operations for 2001, 2000 and 1999 in the reconciliation of income and equity. In addition, under U.S. GAAP, foreign currency transaction gains or losses would be reported as non-operating income or expenses. As further explained in Note 5 b), there were no foreign currency exchange losses capitalized in 2001 and 1999, primarily as a result of the appreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar, and therefore, no adjustment has been recognized in the reconciliation for 2001 and 1999.
- (h)
- Fixed assets-capitalization of interest
Under Mexican GAAP, interest is capitalized to property, plant and equipment based upon total interest cost incurred on loans allocated to construction projects, regardless of whether or not the amounts borrowed have been spent on such projects.
Under U.S. GAAP, interest is capitalized based upon total interest incurred in proportion to additions to construction in progress. PEMEX has accordingly adjusted its results of operations and equity to reflect the U.S. GAAP requirements for capitalizing interest. The adjustment for capitalized interest is presented net of the effects of depreciation related to amounts previously capitalized for such assets.
Interest costs for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, for Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP purposes were allocated as follows:
| 2001 | 2000 | 1999 | |||||||

F-40
- (i)
- Fixed asset impairment
For U.S. GAAP purposes, PEMEX follows SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 121 provides criteria for when and in what circumstances an impairment loss (write-down) should be recorded and the manner in which the write-down should be measured. An evaluation of impairment is undertaken whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Under SFAS No. 121, the impairment criteria is met when the carrying value of assets exceeds the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related assets. The asset is written down to fair value, if available, or the present value of expected future cash flows. PEMEX measures impairment of its oil and gas producing assets based on the undiscounted estimated future cash flows associated with estimated proved reserves on a field by field basis.
In determining the estimated future cash flows for impairment purposes for all periods presented, hydrocarbon duties based on sales to third parties have not been included in the net cash flow calculation. In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 121, management believes that the hydrocarbon duties paid are similar in nature to income taxes or dividend distributions payable to its parent, and therefore are properly excluded from the net cash flow calculation.
In 2001, 2000 and 1999, PEMEX recorded impairment charges which reduced long-term assets with a corresponding charge to operations of Ps. 5,571,939, Ps. 3,236,480 and Ps. 3,928,205, respectively. The amounts appearing in the income reconciliation are net of the reversal of the depreciation expense which is being recorded under Mexican GAAP for the basis difference. In 2001, the expense relates primarily to oil and gas producing properties and petrochemical plants. In 2000, the expense relates primarily to refining assets and petrochemical plants. In 1999, the expense relates primarily to exploration and production assets and secondary petrochemical plants, with an immaterial amount of impairment being related to gas and basic petrochemical assets. Expected cash flows and fair values were estimated internally using PEMEX methodology and practices for valuing similar properties to be acquired or sold.
- (j)
- Depreciation convention
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX begins to depreciate assets the year after which they are placed in service. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, assets should be depreciated from the date placed in service or using a mid-year convention. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, due to significant new PIDIREGAS financed through the Master Trust, an adjustment for depreciation has been recognized in the U.S. GAAP reconciliation. Additional U.S. GAAP depreciation for the year ended December 31, 1999 related to PIDIREGAS was immaterial and thus not considered as an adjustment to the reconciliation as of that date.
- (k)
- Accounting for derivatives
Through December 31, 2000:
Written instruments: Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX records income on its written options as the premiums are collected. Gains and losses on written options are recognized on a cash basis on each contractual payment date. Under U.S. GAAP, PEMEX records option premiums as deferred income when received and amortizes the deferred income in relation to the market value of the option with gains and losses recorded in current operations.
Purchased instruments: Under Mexican GAAP, the cost of premiums on purchased options are expensed when paid. Gains and losses on purchased options are recognized on a cash basis on each contractual payment date. Under U.S. GAAP, the premiums paid for interest rate options and cap agreements purchased are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the agreements. In addition, purchased options which are non-hedging instruments are marked to market with gains and losses
F-41
recorded in current operations. Amounts receivable or payable under purchased instruments are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
Policy:
Effective January 1, 2001, for U.S. GAAP purposes, PEMEX adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138 and as interpreted by the Derivative Implementation Group (DIG). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 prescribes requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships and ongoing assessments of effectiveness in order to qualify for hedge accounting.
Hedge effectiveness is assessed consistently with the method and risk management strategy documented for each hedging relationship. On at least a quarterly basis, PEMEX assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship retrospectively and prospectively to ensure that hedge accounting was appropriate for the prior period and continues to be appropriate for future periods. PEMEX considers hedge accounting to be appropriate if the assessment of hedge effectiveness indicates that the change in fair value of the designated hedging instrument is highly effective at offsetting the change in fair value due to the hedged risk of the hedged item or transaction.
If a derivative instrument qualifies as a fair value hedge under the applicable guidance and is documented as such, the change in the fair value of the derivative and the change in the fair value of the hedged item that is due to the hedged risk(s) is recorded in earnings based on the income classification of the item being hedged. These hedges also adjust the book values of the derivatives and hedged item. If a derivative instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge under the applicable guidance and is documented as such, the effective portion of the hedging instrument's gain or loss is reported in stockholders' equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income) and is reclassified into earnings in the period during which the transaction being hedged affects earnings. Gains or losses reclassified from stockholders' equity to earnings are classified in accordance with earnings treatment of the hedged transaction. The ineffective portion of a hedging derivative's fair value change, where that derivative is used in a cash flow hedge, is recorded in current earnings. Classification in the statement of operations of the ineffective portion of the hedging instrument's gain or loss is based on the income statement classification of the transaction being hedged. If a derivative instrument does not qualify as a cash flow hedge under the applicable guidance, the change in the fair value of the derivative is immediately recognized in the statements of operations.
PEMEX has entered into contracts for the purchase and/or sale of oil and gas. While some of these contracts meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS No. 133, PEMEX has determined that the normal purchase or normal sale exception applies to such contracts. Accordingly, such contracts are not accounted for as derivatives pursuant to SFAS No. 133.
PEMEX also evaluates contracts for "embedded" derivatives, and considers whether any embedded derivatives have to be bifurcated, or separated, from the host contracts in accordance with SFAS No. 133 requirements. Embedded derivatives may have terms that are not clearly and closely related to the terms of the host contract in which they are included. If embedded derivatives exist and are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, they are accounted for separately from the host contract as derivatives, with changes in their fair value recorded in current earnings, to the extent that the hybrid instrument is not already accounted at fair value.
F-42
When hedge accounting is discontinued due to PEMEX's determination that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, PEMEX will continue to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value. The related hedged asset or liability will cease to be adjusted for changes in fair value that are due to the previously hedged risk. When PEMEX discontinues hedge accounting in a cash flow hedge because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur in the originally expected period, the gain or loss on the derivative remains in accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. However, if it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two month period of time thereafter, the gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income will be recognized in current earnings. If a derivative instrument ceases to meet the criteria for hedge accounting, any subsequent gains and losses are recognized in current earnings.
An adjustment of the carrying amount of a hedged asset held for sale would remain part of the carrying amount of that asset until the asset is sold, at which point the entire carrying amount of the hedged asset would be recognized as the cost of the item sold in determining earnings. An adjustment of the carrying amount of a hedged interest-bearing financial instrument shall be amortized to earnings; amortization shall begin no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged. As of December 31, 2001, PEMEX had not discontinued any hedge accounting.
Impact of adoption:
In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 133, PEMEX recorded a cumulative effect adjustment totaling Ps. 3,791,269 (benefit to earnings) as of January 1, 2001. There was no cumulative effect adjustment in other comprehensive income as of this date since PEMEX did not have any cash flow hedges upon adoption.
The principal differences between the cumulative effect adjustment under Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP relate to the following:
- •
- As disclosed in Note 10, PEMEX has entered into cross currency swaps under which it swaps principal and interest payments on non-U.S. dollar-denominated obligations for U.S. dollar amounts. This limits PEMEX's exposure to fluctuations in these currencies as they relate to the U.S. dollar. Under U.S. GAAP, foreign currency hedges can only be designated as such when hedging the risk to the entity's functional currency, and therefore, these contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP although they do under Mexican GAAP Bulletin C-2, which has no similar requirement that foreign currency hedge transactions be carried out in their functional currency.
- •
- Given the need for specialized technology, PEMEX enters into infrastructure and supply contracts whose settlement terms are denominated in or linked to the U.S. dollar. Such contracts are generally entered into with companies whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, thus creating a foreign currency embedded derivative which is bifurcated and evaluated separately under U.S. GAAP. Such embedded derivatives are not required to be bifurcated under Mexican GAAP Bulletin C-2 since they are considered normal provisions of contracts in Mexico.
- •
- Lastly, under Mexican GAAP Bulletin C-2, PEMEX recognized a loss on the fair value of the equity swap contracts related to the Repsol shares (see Note 10). As more fully described in Note 19 I (l), under U.S. GAAP, the Repsol shares did not meet the definition of a true sale therefore the swap would not have been fair valued under SFAS No. 133.
F-43
Other required disclosures:
Fair value hedges
For the year December 31, 2001, PEMEX recognized a net gain of Ps. 381,465 reported as "interest net" in the consolidated Statements of Operation, which represented the ineffective portion of all fair-value hedges. All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness, except for the time value of option contracts.
Cash flow hedges
For the year December 31, 2001, PEMEX recognized a net gain (loss) of Ps. 470,652 reported as "interest net" in the consolidated Statements of Operations, which represented the ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges. All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness, except for the time value of option contracts.
For cash flow hedges, gains and losses on derivative contracts that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to current-period earnings are included in the line item in which the hedged item is recorded in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. None were reclassified in 2001.
- (l)
- Sale of shares of Repsol
As discussed in Note 10, under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX recorded a Ps. 118,742 gain in 2000 and a Ps. 242,408 gain in 1994 on the transfer of its Repsol shares. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the transfer of the shares does not meet the criteria for sale recognition and, accordingly, the gain was reversed and the transfer of the shares treated as a financing transaction. Therefore, under U.S. GAAP, the Repsol shares would be evaluated pursuant to SFAS No. 115 (see Note 19 (p)), and the liability equal to the notional amount resulting from these transactions would also be reflected on the balance sheet.
- (m)
- Sale of air transport assets
Under Mexican GAAP, during 1994, PEMEX recorded a gain of Ps. 340,969 on the sale of its air transport division to a newly created company, Servicios Aéreos Especializados Mexicanos, S.A. ("SAEMSA"), in exchange for a 49% ownership interest in that company plus other consideration of Ps. 291,103. Under Mexican GAAP, the gain was calculated by including the imputed fair value of the 49% interest in SAEMSA which was received by PEMEX as part of the sale proceeds. Under the sale agreement, PEMEX will continue to have more than a minor use of the property through a leaseback. For U.S. GAAP purposes, this transaction is treated as a sale-leaseback; accordingly, the realized gain was deferred and will be amortized into income over the term of the lease. The amortization of the deferred gain during 1999 amounted to Ps. 34,097. At December 31, 1999, the deferred gain related to this transaction was fully amortized to income.
- (n)
- Profit in inventory
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX values crude oil and derivatives for export at net realizable value with the difference between the net realizable value and cost recorded in earnings. In contrast, U.S. GAAP requires that inventories be recorded at net realizable cost, but not to exceed cost. For U.S. GAAP purposes, PEMEX has eliminated the effect of profit in inventory and has increased such amount to U.S. GAAP loss presented. For the year ending December 31, 1999, this adjustment was immaterial to the U.S. GAAP reconciliation primarily due to reduced volumes of crude inventory at year-end 1999.
F-44
- (o)
- Advance payments on minimum guaranteed dividend
Under Mexican GAAP, advance payments on the minimum guaranteed dividend owed to the Mexican Government derived from the capitalization of debt as described in Note 13 are recorded as an account receivable prior to formalization of the amount by the Board of Directors.
Under U.S. GAAP, such receivable balances are considered as a reduction in equity. PEMEX has accordingly adjusted equity to reflect the minimum guaranteed dividend payment as a reduction in equity.
The effective rate used to calculate the minimum guaranteed dividend is LIBOR plus 0.8125% (which was in a range from 3.4475% to 7.4626% and from 7.1820% to 7.8055% for 2001 and 2000, respectively).
The scheduled maturities on the original principal amount of the capitalized debt over the next five years, and thereafter, is as follows:
Year | | ||
---|---|---|---|
2002 | U.S.$ | 873,848 | |
2003 | 873,848 | ||
2004 | 873,848 | ||
2005 | 873,848 | ||
2006 | 873,848 | ||
Total | U.S.$ | 4,369,240 | |
- (p)
- Accounting for investment securities
PEMEX follows SFAS No.115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" for U.S. GAAP purposes. PEMEX has classified its investment securities as "Available-for-Sale" and, accordingly, they are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from the statement of operations and reported in other comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the securities is determined by quoted market prices at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. The cost and fair value of PEMEX's investments at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is as follows:
| Cost | Fair Value | Unrealized Gain | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2001 | Ps. | 3,968,724 | Ps. | 7,814,338 | Ps. | 3,845,614 | |||
2000 | Ps. | 3,968,724 | Ps. | 9,054,998 | Ps. | 5,086,724 | |||
1999 | Ps. | 3,968,724 | Ps. | 12,977,092 | Ps. | 9,008,368 |
Under Mexican GAAP, investment securities are carried at cost. The unrealized gain for U.S. GAAP purposes is largely explained by the appreciation of the underlying security price.
II. Additional disclosure requirements:
- (a)
- Consolidation of Pemex Finance
As more fully disclosed in Note 7, PEMEX and certain subsidiaries entered into several agreements with Pemex Finance. Under these contracts, Pemex Finance purchases certain accounts receivable and rights to future receivables. Pemex Finance obtains resources for such purchases through the placement of debt instruments in the international markets.
In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", a replacement of SFAS No. 125, PEMEX has evaluated the Pemex Finance structure in light of the permitted and non-permitted activities as well as
F-45
the transition provisions of a Qualified Special Purpose Entity ("QSPE") and determined that Pemex Finance does not qualify as a QSPE under the new standard. Consequently, as of December 31, 2001, the U.S. GAAP consolidated total assets would have decreased by Ps. 838,337 and total liabilities would have decreased by Ps. 2,299,674. Had Pemex Finance been consolidated, there would not have been any effect on equity or net income.
- (b)
- Special Tax on Production and Services ("IEPS Tax")
Under Mexican GAAP, the IEPS Tax is reflected as part of "Net domestic sales" when charged to customers and then deducted from "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other."
Under U.S. GAAP, this tax would have no net effect on revenues nor would it be deducted after "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other", as both the amount charged to customers and the amount accrued as payable to the tax authorities would be reflected in revenues.
As a result, under U.S. GAAP, revenues would have been less than those reflected under Mexican GAAP by Ps. 95,198,729, Ps. 69,556,520 and Ps. 88,349,243, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, those amounts would not have been deducted after "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other."

- Cash flow information
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX presents statements of changes in financial position. In contrast with the statements of cash flows required by U.S. GAAP, PEMEX's statements of changes in financial position do not include certain information relating to the three major categories of sources and uses of funds: operating, financing and investing activities.
Under U.S. GAAP, the following information would be disclosed separately in reconciling loss for the year to funds provided by operations: changes in hydrocarbon extraction duties, changes in allowances for doubtful accounts and slow-moving inventories, net exchange gains or losses and accrued interest income from affiliates. Additionally, under U.S. GAAP, borrowings and repayments of debt would be presented separately in arriving at funds from financing activities, and investments in and the proceeds from the sale of property, wells, plants and transportation equipment would be presented separately in arriving at funds from investment activities. In the statements of changes in financial position, PEMEX has disclosed information within the financing and investment categories on a net basis.

- Environmental, dismantlement and abandonment
Environmental:
PEMEX estimates its environmental liabilities on a site-by-site basis based on the best available information. After an affected area is identified, PEMEX establishes accruals for its environmental liabilities using costs of prior or current remediation works with similar characteristics. PEMEX establishes accruals using estimates based on costs of similar remediation works most recently contracted and in progress at that time.
In 1999, PEMEX implemented new internal guidelines for estimating and recording environmental liabilities. The guidelines,Pasivos Ambientales: Definición y Lineamientos para su Cuantificación y Registro Contable (Environmental Liabilities: Definition and Guidelines for their Quantification and Accounting Treatment), sought to standardize and improve upon PEMEX's internal procedures for identifying necessary remediation works and estimating and monitoring environmental liabilities. These guidelines codified existing policy with respect to estimating environmental liabilities, and establish that an environmental liability exists when:
- •
- as a result of the activities of PEMEX, an affected area is identified in a particular site, and PEMEX undertakes a formal commitment to correct the environmental deficiency, in accordance with the criteria, guidelines, standards and legal framework in force; and
- •
- a reasonable estimate of the costs of remediation or clean-up of the identified affected area has been made, including the costs of the assessment studies.
F-48
As stated above, in accordance with past and present internal guidelines, PEMEX conducts site-by-site studies to identify environmental liabilities and develop a reasonable estimate of such liabilities. These guidelines consider many factors but are tailored to specific Mexican requirements. Each contaminated site must be characterized, quantified and assessed through a specific study. The contamination of the affected sites may extend to the soil, subsoil and bodies of water, including water deposits, lagoons, swamps and others. These sites may be located inside PEMEX's facilities, in surrounding areas, in abandoned areas where PEMEX had activity in the past or along the pipelines.
Once the corresponding contaminated site has been identified and evaluated, expenses for the cleanup of (i) hydrocarbon seepage and other spills that may cause pollution and that cannot be corrected in a short timeframe, (ii) water deposits and (iii) the concentration of hazardous residuals, will be included in the remediation or restoration of affected areas. Estimates are kept current based on best available information.
Based on reports from field managers and other available information, management prepares reports for identified affected areas on a periodic basis. When the contamination relates to a new incident, PEMEX informs PROFEPA and responds immediately to eliminate the cause of the incident or to minimize its effects. Subsequently, PEMEX and PROFEPA jointly determine whether the contamination has been eliminated or if additional actions are necessary for the remediation of the site.
PEMEX believes its environmental liabilities are probable when its initial studies reveal the existence of contamination in the inspected areas at levels above those permitted by Mexican law, indicating that PEMEX will have to perform remediation works necessary to bring the site into compliance. PEMEX believes the liability is reasonably estimable when (i) an assessment of the size of the affected area has been made, (ii) it has compared the affected area to other affected areas identified and addressed in the past, and (iii) based on PEMEX's experience with current or recent works on similar sites, PEMEX can assess the estimated remediation costs in order to be able to calculate the corresponding environmental liability. Thus, PEMEX accrues for these environmental liabilities when it identifies affected areas with contamination levels above those permitted by Mexican law and PEMEX is able to make a reasonable estimate of the size of the affected area and the remediation cost. In addition, PEMEX periodically revises its estimates of environmental liabilities as it obtains new information during the course of the remediation works in order to ensure its estimates are based on the most accurate and updated information.
PROFEPA administers the Mexican environmental regulatory rubric and establishes acceptable standards of environmental remediation. Although PROFEPA has the authority to review and inspect remediation works performed by PEMEX and compliance with permitted contamination levels established by laws and regulations, it does not determine PEMEX's environmental liabilities. PEMEX maintains proper records of all of the studies, estimations, performed works and any other information that PROFEPA may request from time to time.
During 2001 and 2000, PEMEX invested Ps. 3,349,000 and Ps. 2,711,000, respectively, in various environmental projects. The most important of these projects have been directed to the modernization of installations, the implementation of systems and control mechanisms to monitor atmospheric pollution, the acquisition of equipment to clean hydrocarbon spills, the expansion of aquatic effluent systems, the restoration and reforestation of affected areas, studies for environmental investigation and the conducting of environmental audits. In addition, PEMEX has engaged in extensive research and development efforts to develop capacity for increased production of unleaded gasoline, diesel and fuel oil with lower sulfur content and alternative fuels, such as industrial oil gas and natural gas. Currently, PEMEX is developing a procedure (Procedimiento para la Determinación de Gastos Asociados a las Actividades de Seguridad Industrial y Protección Ambiental) to determine the costs and expenses related to the activities associated with integral safety and environmental management.
F-49
Management of PEMEX believes that its operations are in substantial compliance with the Environmental Law as such law has been historically interpreted and enforced.
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefit are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded on an undiscounted basis when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
As PEMEX has exclusive rights to production and processing of crude oil, natural gas, and refined products within Mexico, there are no instances of joint liability; PEMEX is the sole responsible party in the event of environmental damage.
PEMEX has contracted insurance policies to cover the cost of certain environmental contingencies. The liability accruals are not reflected net of any amounts forthcoming under such policies.
Environmental liabilities accrued in the consolidated financial statements, for both Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP purposes, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 are divided among the operating units as follows:

Dismantlement and abandonment costs:
Under current Mexican law, PEMEX's legal obligation related to dismantlement and abandonment activities is governed by the following two federal laws: the Petroleum Works Law and the Environmental Law described above. Although PEMEX is subject to other laws and regulations established at a local level in areas where PEMEX undertakes petroleum extractive activities, these local laws and regulations do not contain any specific guidance on abandonment, restoration and removal of oil and gas facilities or otherwise impose a higher standard on PEMEX in this regard. The United Mexican States is not a party to any international treaty or convention that would affect PEMEX's understanding of its obligation with regard to dismantlement and abandonment activities. Thus, the only relevant law for PEMEX as to abandonment, and removal of facilities related to oil- and gas-producing activities is Mexican federal law.
The Petroleum Works Law provides that wells must be plugged, or in certain special cases capped, to ensure the maintenance of sanitary and safe conditions and to prevent the seepage of hydrocarbons to the surface. The Petroleum Works Law requires that PEMEX plug a well when it turns out to be dry, invaded with salt water or abandoned due to a mechanical accident, or once a well's production has been depleted such that abandonment is necessary due to economic unfeasibility of production. All activities required for plugging a well are undertaken with the purpose of isolating, in a definitive and convenient manner, the cross formations in the perforation that contains oil, gas or water in order to ensure that hydrocarbons do not seep to the surface.
PEMEX must obtain authorization from the Ministry of Energy before performing any plugging activities. The Petroleum Works Law also states that the Ministry of Energy may also authorize temporary plugging of exploratory wells where production of hydrocarbons is commercially feasible but for which there are no adequate means for its exploitation.
F-50
PEMEX monitors and reviews its own internal estimates of costs to undertake dismantlement and abandonment at levels consistent with Mexican legal requirements and guidelines for oil and gas industry extractive activities. Estimates as to aggregate costs consider PEMEX's operational specifics such as its number of onshore and offshore wells, depth of wells, varying nature of offshore platforms, expected production lives, current expectations as to when the costs will be incurred based on present production rates and other operational specifics. The actual costs incurred in the dismantlement and retirement of wells are considered where practicable, as described above. The average cost for plugging and dismantlement varies from producing region to producing region and from platform to platform. For the offshore regions, to the extent that actual costs are not available due to limited plugging and dismantlement activity historically, PEMEX uses estimates based on services costs. The estimated costs are both peso- and U.S. dollar-denominated.
- (e)
- Pensions and seniority premiums
PEMEX follows SFAS No. 87 for the calculation of seniority premiums and pension expense under U.S. GAAP.
The calculation of pension cost and benefit obligations under SFAS No. 87 requires considerable judgment with respect to choosing actuarial assumptions. Each significant assumption should reflect the best estimate of the plan's future experience solely with respect to that assumption. Assumed discount rates and compensation levels often have the greatest effect on pension cost and benefit obligations and are related because both are affected by some of the same economic factors. The discount rate should be based upon the current prices for settling the pension obligation, referred to as the "settlement rate." Assumed compensation levels should reflect the best estimate of actual future compensation levels for the individuals involved and be consistent with assumed discount rates to the extent that both incorporate expectations of the same future economic conditions, such as inflation.
Applying these provisions of SFAS No. 87 in a historically inflationary environment such as Mexico creates unique problems which are complicated by economic events since December 1994. The opportunity for a company to settle a pension obligation at any particular point in time may not exist; long term financial instruments may not exist in Mexico as they do in the United States and volatile inflation rates may make it difficult to predict compensation progression.
SFAS No. 87 does not include specific guidance under these conditions. PEMEX believes it is appropriate to use actuarial assumptions which include an estimate of long-term inflation (nominal rates). PEMEX has determined its discount rate and salary progression rate for SFAS No. 87 including a long-term inflation rate.
An alternative approach to actuarial assumptions where benefits are indexed to inflation (which is not generally the case in Mexico) would be to eliminate the effect of inflation in the assumptions (i.e., use real rates). PEMEX believes that the effect on the U.S. GAAP reconciliation of net loss would not be materially different under this approach. However, the "accumulated benefit obligation" and the related minimum liability for pensions can be affected by the discount rate used. Under SFAS No. 87, the accumulated benefit obligation is the present value of expected future benefit payments based upon an employee's service to date without assuming any increase in the employee's compensation. If the accumulated benefit obligation were calculated using an assumed real discount rate of 4.6%, the accumulated benefit obligation calculated under SFAS No. 87 would be Ps. 162,412,847.

Additional minimum liability | Ps. | 35,854,948 | Ps. | 30,005,345 | ||||
The plan's assets consist primarily of cash, investments and an interest in a real estate joint venture.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 87, PEMEX has reflected, for U.S. GAAP purposes, an additional minimum liability at the end of each year representing the excess of the accumulated benefit obligations over the fair value of plan assets and accrued pension liabilities. The additional minimum liability is offset by recording an intangible asset and, accordingly, has no impact on operations or equity.

- Post retirement benefits
PEMEX has implemented SFAS No. 106 effective January 1, 1995, using the transitional recognition method.
PEMEX makes supplemental payments and provides health care benefits to retired employees. PEMEX regularly determines the level of its supplemental payments considering inflationary conditions. Health care is provided through a regional network of PEMEX hospitals and medical centers, which also provide care to active PEMEX employees. No commitments have been made regarding the level of such contributions in the future.
For Mexican GAAP purposes, PEMEX has included the projected costs associated with the supplemental payments in its determination of pension obligation under Bulletin D-3, but has excluded the costs associated with medical care, which is accounted for on a pay-as-you-go basis. There are no plan assets for post-retirement benefits.

Actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of other post-retirement benefits under U.S. GAAP as of December 31 were:

Health care cost trend rate | 7.00 | % | 8.00 | % | 10.00 | % |
Since the other post-retirement benefits are not based on levels of compensation, it is not necessary to use salary increase assumptions to determine expenses. The effect of a 1% increase in the health care cost trend rate is to increase net expense for post-retirement benefits by Ps. 1,397,913 (Ps. 1,292,063 for 2000) and increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation by Ps. 9,479,221 (Ps. 8,249,215 for 2000). The effect of a 1% decrease in the health care cost trend rate is to decrease net expense for post-retirement benefits by Ps. 1,220,234 (Ps. 1,072,910 for 2000) and decrease the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation by Ps. 8,565,254 (Ps. 6,983,839 for 2000).

- Business segment information
PEMEX's primary business is the exploration for and production of crude oil and natural gas and the refining and marketing of petroleum products conducted through four business segments: Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals and Pemex-Petrochemicals. Management makes decisions related to the operations of the consolidated business along these four strategic lines.
The primary sources of revenue for the segments are as described below:
- •
- Pemex-Exploration and Production earns revenues from domestic crude oil sales, as well as, from the export of crude oil, through PMI, to international markets. Export sales are made through PMI to approximately 25 major customers in various foreign markets. Less than half (approximately 43%) of PEMEX crude is sold domestically; however, these amounts are in large part sufficient to satisfy Mexican domestic demand.
- •
- Pemex-Refining earns revenues from sales of refined petroleum products and derivatives. Most of Refining's sales are to third parties and occur within the domestic market. The entity supplies the CFE with approximately 80% of its fuel oil production. Pemex-Refining's most profitable products are gasolines.
- •
- Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals earns revenues primarily from domestic sources. Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals also consumes high levels of its own natural gas production. Most revenues for the entity are obtained through the sale of ethane and butane gases.
- •
- Pemex-Petrochemicals engages in the sale of petrochemical products to the domestic market. Pemex-Petrochemicals offers a wide range of products, with the higher revenue generating products being methane derivatives, ethane derivatives and aromatics and derivatives.
F-57
In making performance analyses for the entities, PEMEX management focuses on sales volumes and gross revenues as the primary indicators.
Income (loss) and identifiable assets for each segment have been determined after intersegment adjustments. Sales between segments are made at internal transfer prices established by PEMEX which reflect international market prices. All information presented herein is on a Mexican GAAP basis.

- Significant risks and uncertainties
Environmental
The ultimate costs to be incurred in relation to PEMEX's environmental contingencies may exceed the total amounts reserved. Additional liabilities may be accrued as the assessment work is completed and formal remedial plans are formulated. Numerous factors affect the reliability and precision of clean-up cost estimates, including the individual characteristics of the site, the lack of specific guidance in levels of permissible pollution and type of technology available for the remediation as well as general economic factors such as inflation.
As discussed previously, PEMEX accrues an environmental liability when a reasonable estimate of the costs for remediation or clean-up of the identified affected area has been made. In cases, investigations are not yet at a stage where PEMEX is able to quantify the liability or estimate a range of possible exposure. In such cases, the amounts of PEMEX's liabilities are indeterminate due to the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the imprecise and conflicting engineering evaluations and estimates of proper cleanup methods and costs, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, and the ambiguities in Mexican environmental laws and regulations.
PEMEX is not aware of any unasserted claims or assessments, which may give rise to an environmental liability, and therefore, no amounts related to such items have been reflected in the environmental accrual.
Government
The operations and earnings of PEMEX have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by political developments and laws and regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets, restrictions on production, price controls, tax increases, cancellation of contract rights, refined product specifications, environmental, health and safety regulations. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon PEMEX are not predictable.
Labor
PEMEX employees belonging to the Petroleum Workers' Union of the Mexican Republic represent approximately 79% of the workforce. They have a collective bargaining agreement which is renegotiated every two years and has no firm expiration date.
Product prices
Because PEMEX's major products are commodities, significant changes in the prices of crude oil, natural gas and chemical products could have a significant impact on PEMEX's results of operations in any particular year. Crude oil represents approximately 34% of PEMEX's sales revenues net of IEPS Tax which makes it reasonably possible that PEMEX is vulnerable to near-term severe impacts from fluctuations in prices.
General
PEMEX has certain other contingent liabilities with respect to litigation, claims and contractual agreements arising in the ordinary course of business. Although these contingencies could result in expenses or judgments that could be material to PEMEX's results of operations for a given reporting period, on the basis of management's best assessment of the ultimate amount and timing of these events, such expenses or judgments are not expected to have a material adverse effect on PEMEX's operations, financial position, condition or liquidity.

- Recently issued accounting standards
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" which supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations" and amends or supersedes a number of related interpretations of APB Opinion No. 16. The statement is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations, eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, and prescribes the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets, accounting for negative goodwill and the required disclosures in respect of business combinations. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business acquisition) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statements at that date. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a liability for the legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction and/or normal operation of the asset. The liability is recognized at fair value in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. A corresponding asset retirement cost is added to the carrying value of the long-lived asset and is depreciated to expense using a systematic and rational method over its useful life. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Upon initial adoption, a liability is recognized for existing asset retirement obligations and the associated asset retirement cost is capitalized as an increase to the carrying value of the asset. The recognized liability and asset are adjusted for cumulative accretion and accumulated depreciation, respectively, from the time period when the asset retirement obligation would have originally been recognized had this statement been in effect to the date of initial adoption. The cumulative effect of initial adoption of SFAS No. 143 is recorded as a change in accounting principle. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 may have on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used, but resolves a number of
F-61
implementation issues and establishes a single accounting model for assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 also retains the requirements to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of by sale, abandonment or distribution to owners or is classified as held for sale. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and their interim periods. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale or otherwise are effective for disposal activities initiated after the effective date of SFAS No. 144 or after its initial application. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002". SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," SFAS No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers," and SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements". As a result, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt will no longer be classified as extraordinary items unless they meet the criteria of unusual or infrequent as described in APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". In addition, SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 145 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". The issuance of SFAS No. 146 nullifies the former guidance provided by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring" ("EITF 94-3"). SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred, rather then on the date commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for liabilities, related to exit or disposal activities, which are incurred after December 31, 2002, while earlier application is encouraged. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
20. Subsidiary guarantor information
The following consolidating information presents condensed balance sheets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and condensed statements of operations and changes in financial position for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 of Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals, and Pemex-Petrochemicals and the consolidated Subsidiary Companies.
These statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico and, as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with NIF-06-BIS "A" section A (see Notes 2 b) and 15 to the consolidated financial statements), with one exception: for the purposes of the presentation of the subsidiary guarantor information, the Subsidiary Entities and Subsidiary Companies have been accounted for as investments under the equity method by Petróleos Mexicanos. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in Petróleos Mexicanos' investment account and earnings. The principal elimination entries eliminate Petróleos Mexicanos' investment in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining and
F-62
Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and Pemex-Petrochemicals are controlled by and have the characteristic of subsidiaries of Petróleos Mexicanos. Pemex-Petrochemicals and the Subsidiary Companies collectively comprise the non-guarantor subsidiaries ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). Petróleos Mexicanos and the Master Trust are the only entities authorized to contract debt, and thus all guaranteed debt is held by these entities. The guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors are full and unconditional and joint and several. Management has not presented separate financial statements for the Subsidiary Guarantors because it has determined that such information is not material to investors.
The significant differences between Mexican and U.S. GAAP as they affect PEMEX are established in Note 19. The U.S. GAAP adjustment related to exploration and drilling costs is exclusive to Pemex-Exploration and Production. The U.S. GAAP adjustment related to fixed asset impairment relates to Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining and Pemex-Petrochemicals. U.S. GAAP adjustments pertaining to advance payment on minimum guaranteed dividends, investment securities, pensions and seniority premiums, post-retirement benefits, profit in inventory, and the sale of Repsol shares relate exclusively to Petróleos Mexicanos. The U.S. GAAP adjustment to account for derivatives relates primarily to Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Petrochemicals, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals, Pemex-Refining and the Master Trust. The U.S. GAAP adjustments related to depreciation and capitalization of interest relate to Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Petrochemicals, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals and Pemex-Refining. The U.S. GAAP adjustment related to depreciation convention relates to Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Petrochemicals, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals, Pemex-Refining and the Master Trust, as well as another subsidiary. All other U.S. GAAP adjustments relate collectively to Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Refining, Pemex-Exploration and Production and Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals.

21. PIDIREGAS liabilities and the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust ("Master Trust")
The Master Trust, a consolidated entity which is a business trust, was organized under the laws of Delaware on November 10, 1998. The main objective of the Master Trust is to administer financial resources related to PIDIREGAS, such financial resources being designated by PEMEX for that purpose, by assuming payment obligations under contracts relating to PIDIREGAS and acting as the borrower under financing arrangements for PIDIREGAS.
Under an Assignment and Indemnity Agreement dated November 10, 1998, among Petróleos Mexicanos, the Master Trust and the Subsidiary Guarantors, Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Guarantors have certain obligations to the Master Trust with respect to the liabilities incurred by the Master Trust in connection with PIDIREGAS. These obligations include:
- (i)
- the obligation of Petróleos Mexicanos to guarantee the repayment of the debt obligations undertaken by the Master Trust to finance PIDIREGAS;
- (ii)
- the obligation of Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Guarantor which is sponsoring the relevant PIDIREGAS to make such payments to the Master Trust as may be necessary for the Master Trust to fulfill its payment obligations in respect of any financing the Master Trust has entered into in connection with such project; and
- (iii)
- the joint and several obligation of Petróleos Mexicanos and each of the aforementioned Subsidiary Guarantors to indemnify the Master Trust with respect to any liability incurred by the Master Trust in connection with PIDIREGAS.
On December 31, 1998, PEMEX transferred all assets and liabilities related to PIDIREGAS for an amount equaling Ps. 12,104,010 to the Master Trust. The Master Trust has been consolidated in the financial statements of PEMEX at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 in accordance with consolidation principles detailed in Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-8 "Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Valuation of Permanent Investments in Stocks." In accordance with U.S. accounting principles, the Master Trust is a special purpose entity requiring consolidation to the financial statements as it does not meet non-consolidation criteria as specified in U.S. accounting literature.
The following consolidating information presents condensed consolidating balance sheets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and condensed consolidating statements of operations and statements of changes in financial position for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 of Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals, Pemex-Petrochemicals and the consolidated Subsidiary Companies. These financial statements are prepared in conformity with Mexican GAAP and as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with NIF-06-BIS "A" section A (see Notes 2 b) and 15 to the consolidated financial statements), except that in the following condensed financial information, the Master Trust and the Subsidiary Entities are accounted for as investments under the equity method rather than being consolidated. Pemex-Petrochemicals and the Subsidiary Guarantors are controlled by and have the characteristics of subsidiaries of Petróleos Mexicanos. Petróleos Mexicanos' guaranty of the indebtedness of the Master Trust is full and unconditional. The guaranties by the Subsidiary Guarantors of Petróleos Mexicanos' guaranty of the Master Trust's payment obligations are full and unconditional and joint and several.
Petróleos Mexicanos and the Master Trust are the only entities authorized to contract debt, and thus all guaranteed debt is held by these entities.

21. PIDIREGAS liabilities and the Pemex Project Funding Master Trust (continued)
The significant differences between Mexican and U.S. GAAP as they affect PEMEX are described in Note 19. The U.S. GAAP adjustments related to exploration and drilling costs and units of production amortization are exclusive to Pemex—Exploration and Production. The U.S. GAAP adjustment related to fixed asset impairment relates to the Subsidiary Entities. U.S. GAAP adjustments pertaining to advance payment on minimum guaranteed dividends, investment securities, and the sale of Repsol shares relate exclusively to Petróleos Mexicanos. The U.S. GAAP adjustment to account for derivatives relates primarily to Petróleos Mexicanos, Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Petrochemicals, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals, Pemex-Refining and the Master Trust. All other U.S. GAAP adjustments relate collectively to Petróleos Mexicanos and the Subsidiary Entities.
22. Supplementary information on oil and gas exploration and production activities (Unaudited)
The following tables provide supplementary information on the oil and gas exploration, development and producing activities of Pemex-Exploration and Production in compliance with SFAS No. 69 ("Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities") published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States of America. All exploration and production activities of Pemex-Exploration and Production are located in Mexico.
The supplemental data presented herein reflects information for all of Pemex-Exploration and Production's oil and gas producing activities. Capitalized costs and results of operations presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Crude oil and natural gas reserves (unaudited)
Under the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States and Mexican statutory law, all oil and other hydrocarbon reserves within Mexico are owned by the Mexican nation and not by PEMEX. Under the Organic Law, PEMEX has the exclusive right to produce, not own, these reserves and sells the production subject to a federal production tax currently assessed at the rate of 60.8% of revenue from production sales. Crude oil exports are subject to an additional "excess gains" tax. PEMEX's exploration and development activities are limited to reserves located in Mexico.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions,i.e., prices and costs at the date the estimate is made. Mexico's proved reserves are estimated by PEMEX's petroleum engineers.
PEMEX estimates Mexico's reserves using standard geological and engineering methods generally accepted by the petroleum industry. The choice of method or combinations of methods employed in the analysis of each reservoir is determined by experience in the area, the stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data and production and pressure history. The reserves data set forth herein represent only estimates. Reserves valuation is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, estimates of different engineers may vary. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate are among the criteria which may be used to justify revision of such estimate.

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves (unaudited)
The standardized measure tables presented below relate to proved oil and gas reserves (i) after adjusting for the reserve revisions in the Marine, Southern and Northern Regions, and (ii) excluding proved reserves scheduled to be produced after the year 2025.
Estimated future cash inflows from production are computed by applying average December prices of oil and gas to the year-end quantities. Future development and production costs are those estimated future expenditures needed to develop and produce the year-end estimated proved reserves, assuming constant year-end economic conditions.
Future tax expenses are computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates—with consideration of the tax rates already legislated for 2001—to the future pre-tax net cash flows related to Mexico's proved oil and gas reserves.
In addition to being subject to the payment of all taxes and contributions set forth by the SHCP (except as indicated below), PEMEX is presently subject to the following special duties: a hydrocarbon extraction duty, an extraordinary hydrocarbon extraction duty, an additional hydrocarbon extraction duty, a tax on hydrocarbon income and the IEPS Tax. These taxes and duties are to be credited against theDerecho Sobre Hidrocarburos ("hydrocarbon duty"), which is calculated by applying a rate of 60.8% to the sales revenue of Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities to third parties (sales revenues are taken to include the IEPS Tax generated by the sale of refined products, but not to include VAT). In addition to the payment of the hydrocarbon duty, Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities must pay to the Mexican Government an excess gains tax, which for 2000 was equal to 39.2% on the portion of Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities' crude oil export sales revenues in excess of a threshold price of 15.00 U.S. dollars per barrel. Since the 2000 prices were higher than 15.00 U.S. dollars per barrel, Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities paid excess gains tax. For 2001, the excess gains tax applies to prices in excess of 18.00 U.S. dollars per barrel. Petróleos Mexicanos and Subsidiary Entities are not subject to Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Renta) or Asset Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto al Activo).
The standardized measure provided below represents a comparative benchmark value rather than an estimate of expected future cash flows or fair market value of PEMEX's production rights. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond the control of the producer. Accordingly, reserve estimates may be materially different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Crude oil and natural gas prices have decreased approximately 54.9% and 33.0%, respectively, from December 2001 to August 2002. If the standardized measure at December 31, 2001 had been calculated using crude oil and natural gas prices at August 2002, the standardized measure would have approximated U.S. $45.6 billion.

In computing the amounts under each factor of change, the effects of variances in prices and costs are computed before the effects of changes in quantities. Consequently, changes in reserves are calculated at December prices and costs. The change in computed taxes includes taxes effectively incurred during the year and the change in future tax expense.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PREPARED ON A PRICE-LEVEL ADJUSTED BASIS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
(In thousands of constant pesos as of December 31, 2001)
1. Effects of inflation on the financial information
The following is the methodology utilized in preparing the price-level adjusted financial information.
- a)
- Effects of inflation on the financial information
The consolidated supplemental financial information of PEMEX has been restated to recognize the effects of inflation and is expressed in thousands of pesos of constant purchasing power as of December 31, 2001, determined as follows:
- •
- The consolidated statement of operations (excluding depreciation and cost of sales which is described below) for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 were restated applying the Mexican National Consumer Price Index ("NCPI") from the periods in which the transactions occurred to December 31, 2001. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the "Net Sales" line item as presented excludes IEPS Tax, an amount which equaled Ps. 97,124,599, Ps. 75,482,448 and Ps. 104,976,512, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
- •
- For comparability purposes, balance sheet information as of December 31, 2000 has been restated to pesos as of December 31, 2001 by utilizing the change in the NCPI from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001.
- •
- The NCPI factor used to recognize the effects of inflation were:
Year | Change in National Consumer Price Index | ||
---|---|---|---|
1999 | 12.3187 | % | |
2000 | 8.9593 | % | |
2001 | 4.4035 | % |
- b)
- The methodology used to restate financial statement items is as follows:
Restatement of non-monetary assets
Inventory and fixed assets
Inventory and fixed assets are restated to replacement cost as set forth in Note 2 to the financial statements. Fixed assets were evaluated for impairment on this basis. Cost of sales is determined based on the replacement costs calculated from when inventories were sold. Depreciation is based upon the restated carrying value of the respective assets.
Equity
Equity represents the combined historical movements in the amounts of the Certificates of Contribution "A", dividends and accumulated earnings, restated from their date of origin to December 31, 2001 using the change in the NCPI during such period.
F-92
Accumulated deficit from holding non-monetary assets represents the excess or deficit resulting from restating non-monetary assets via the methods described in Note 2 to the financial statements and the NCPI.
Comprehensive cost of financing
Monetary position gain represents the inflationary effect, as measured by the NCPI, on net balance of monetary assets and liabilities as expressed in constant pesos. The monetary gain related to the pension and other post retirement obligations that is attributable to the excess of the actual rate of inflation over the assumed rate of inflation included in the actuarial calculations has been deferred as part of the actuarial gain or loss.
Foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized as incurred.
- •
- Cash flow information
The price level adjusted cash flow has been prepared reflecting the impact of the U.S. GAAP adjustments. In accordance with the recommendation of the AICPA SEC Regulations Committee International Practices Task Force the effects of inflation on cash flows are presented separately.
For the purposes of the cash flow, PEMEX considers all highly liquid temporary investments with original maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

PETRÓLEOS MEXICANOS, SUBSIDIARY ENTITIES AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF
DECEMBER 31, 2001 (AUDITED) AND JUNE 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED) AND FOR THE SIX-MONTH
PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001 (UNAUDITED)
(Amounts expressed in thousands of pesos and thousands of U.S. dollars)
1. Basis of presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Petróleos Mexicanos, the Subsidiary Entities and the Subsidiary Companies (collectively, "PEMEX"), as of June 30, 2002, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included herein. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
For the purposes of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, certain information and disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with PEMEX's consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.
2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies followed by PEMEX in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarized below:
a) Accounting basis for the preparation of financial information
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico ("Mexican GAAP") as issued by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants ("MIPA"), and as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard ("NIF") 06-BIS "A", Section A as issued by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit ("SHCP") and by the General Comptroller's Office ("SECODAM").
b) Change in accounting principle
In February 2000, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-2, "Financial Instruments", which became effective on January 1, 2001. Bulletin C-2 provides guidance for recognizing, measuring and disclosing information about financial assets and financial liabilities, including accounting for derivative financial transactions. Bulletin C-2 requires that all financial instruments, with the exception of derivative financial instruments designated as hedges and held to maturity investments, be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair values and changes in their fair value be recognized in earnings of each period. With respect to derivative financial instruments accounted for as hedges, Bulletin C-2 requires that they be accounted for in the same manner as the items being hedged; held to maturity investments are recorded at amortized cost, subject to impairment evaluation. As a result of the adoption of this new accounting standard, as of January 1, 2001, PEMEX recognized a charge to earnings totaling Ps. 1,331,247.
c) Convenience translation
United States dollar ("U.S. dollar") amounts shown in the balance sheets, the statements of operations, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of changes in financial position have been included solely for the convenience of the reader. Such amounts are translated from pesos, as a
F/B-6
matter of arithmetic computation only, at an exchange rate of 9.9568 pesos per U.S. dollar, which is the June 30, 2002 exchange rate for the settlement of obligations in foreign currencies provided by Banco de México and the SHCP. These translations should not be construed as a representation that the peso amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the foregoing rate or any other rate.

10. Commitments and contingencies
- a.
- PEMEX is involved in various lawsuits filed against it by dismissed personnel. If any of these lawsuits were resolved in favor of the dismissed personnel, there would be a charge to operations in the year in which the payment is made. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these events will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
- b.
- PEMEX is subject to theLey General de Equilibrio Ecológico y Protección al Ambiente (the General Law on Ecology and Protection of the Environment, or the "Environmental Law"). To comply with this law, PEMEX has contracted environmental audits for its larger operating, storage and transportation facilities. To date, audits of refineries, secondary petrochemical plants and certain other facilities have been concluded. Following the completion of such audits, PEMEX signed various agreements with theProcuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente (the Federal Attorney of Environmental Protection, or "PROFEPA") to implement environmental remedy and improvement plans. Such plans consider remedy for environmental damages previously caused, as well as related investments for the improvement of equipment, maintenance, labor and materials.
F/B-11
- c.
- A trust agreement has been formed between Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals as beneficiary, Distribuidora de Gas de Querétaro, S.A. de C.V.; DGN de la Laguna Durango, S. de R.L. de C.V.; DGN de Chihuahua, S. de R.L. de C.V.; Repsol México, S.A. de C.V. (now Gas Natural de México, S.A. de C.V.); Gas Natural del Río Pánuco, S.de R.L. de C.V.; Tamauligas, S.A. de C.V.; NATGASMEX, S.A. de C.V.; Consorcio Mexigas, S.A. de C.V.; Comercializadora Metrogas, S.A. de C.V. (formerly DIGANAMEX, S.A. de C.V.) and Distribuidora de Gas Natural de Jalisco, S.A. de C.V., as trustees, and the Banco Nacional de Obras y Servicios Públicos, S.N.C. (National Bank of Public Works and Services, S.N.C.) as trust administrator. Pursuant to this agreement, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals is obligated to transfer the right to the use of assets associated with natural gas distribution from Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals to the trustees and, in return, the trustees are obligated to deposit in the trust a payment for the right of use of the transferred assets. This payment was approximately Ps. 332,799 at June 30, 2002 and at December 31,2001. The trust administrator is obligated to transfer the ownership of the assets to the trustees once the title and control of the assets has been formalized and properly accredited into the name of the trustees.
- d.
- PEMEX, through its subsidiaries PMI and PMI-NASA, has executed several long-term purchase and sale contracts for Maya crude oil with various refineries. These contracts oblige the buyers to construct conversion units (coking/catalyst conversion units) that permit the optimization of yields from the refining process of Maya crude. PMI, in its role, principally has the obligation to assign Maya crude oil once the new investments have been completed.
PEMEX has recorded obligations for environmental remediation as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 of Ps. 2,223,953 and Ps. 2,316,175, respectively. These liabilities are included in the "Reserve for sundry creditors and others".
The contracts which have been signed to date include:
- (i)
- An agreement with Clark Refining and Marketing Inc. (now Port Arthur Coker Company), signed in March 1998 for delivery of crude oil to its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, U.S.A. The contract is for approximately 158,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil to be delivered for a period of seven years following project completion, which occurred in April 2001.
- (ii)
- An agreement with Coastal Aruba Refining Company N.V., signed in July 1998, for delivery of crude oil to its refinery in Lagoweg, Aruba. The contract is for approximately 100,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil to be delivered for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in April 2000.
- (iii)
- An agreement with Exxon Company U.S.A. and Exxon Trading Company International, signed in September 1998 for delivery of crude oil to its refinery in Baytown, Texas, U.S.A. The contract is for approximately 65,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil to be delivered for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in December 2001.
- (iv)
- In May 1999, an agreement, signed with Pecten Trading Company, which is a trading subsidiary of Shell Oil Company and PMI-NASA to expand the refinery at Deer Park Refining Limited Partnership by increasing its total processing capacity from 280,000 barrels per day to 340,000 barrels per day; the project was completed in April 2001. The increased requirements for heavy crude are satisfied through an increase in the supply of Maya crude oil from PMI, which increased its existing agreements with Pecten and PMI-NASA from 140,000 barrels per day to 200,000 barrels per day, 50,000 barrels per day of the additional contractual quantity are contracted under terms similar to the other agreements mentioned in this section.
F/B-12
- (v)
- An agreement with Marathon Ashland Supply LLC, signed in May 1999 to supply its Garyville, Louisiana, U.S.A. refinery with approximately 90,000 barrels per day, which by today has been increased to up to 100,000 barrels per day, of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which occurred in December 2001.
- (vi)
- An agreement with Valero Marketing & Supply Company and Valero Refining-Texas, L.P., signed in December 2001 to supply its Texas City, Texas, U.S.A. refinery with approximately 90,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which is scheduled to occur on or before October 1, 2003.
- (vii)
- An agreement with Chevron Products Company, signed in March 2002 to supply its Pascagoula, Mississippi, U.S.A. refinery with approximately 130,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil for a period of five years following project completion, which is scheduled to occur in April 2003.
- e.
- At June 30, 2002, PEMEX is involved in various civil, labor, tax and administrative lawsuits with a total claim amount of Ps. 12,049,780. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, PEMEX has accrued Ps. 961,695, related to those contingencies for which management believes that the outcome will be unfavorable. The most important lawsuits are as follows:
- (i)
- PEMEX presently faces claims in courts, filed by service providers for damages amounting to U.S. $497,300 (Ps. 4,951,517). Those legal proceedings have recently begun and PEMEX believes that to date it is not necessary to create any provision.
- (ii)
- PEMEX has been sued by a supplier for late and non-payment of billings and other items for a total of U.S. $79,276 (Ps. 789,335). Based on an analysis of the documentation presented by the supplier, PEMEX recognized a liability of U.S. $4,576 (Ps. 45,562). In addition, PEMEX will file suit against the supplier for U.S. $4,949 (Ps. 49,276) for unsatisfactory work. At the present time, documentary evidence is now in the process of being presented to the court.
- (iii)
- TheComisión Federal de Competencia ("Federal Competition Commission") handed down a resolution against PEMEX for presumed monopolistic policies relative to exclusivity clauses for the sale of lubricants, grease and oil.
- •
- The payment of a fine in the amount of Ps. 17,055;
- •
- Amendment of the joint venture agreements, use of trademark license contract, franchise supply contract, as well as documents containing the exclusivity clause;
- •
- Amendment of contracts with franchise service stations to adjust franchise and supply contracts; and
- •
- Report the resolution handed down by the Federal Competition Commission to the legal representatives of service stations.
- f.
- PEMEX has a nitrogen supply contract for the pressure maintenance program for the Cantarell field that expires in 2015. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the value of the nitrogen to be supplied during the term of the contract is approximately Ps. 20,846,960 and Ps. 22,015,737, respectively. In the event of the annulment of the contract for causes
The resolution established the following measures:
To date, PEMEX has filed two appeals for constitutional relief from this resolution. Both appeals were resolved favorably in the first instance; however one of them is still subject to be challenged through an appeal for review.
F/B-13
- g.
- PEMEX sold 13,679,704 shares of Repsol and simultaneously contracted an equity swap on such shares with an international financial institution. The agreement contains a mandatory re-purchase clause for the shares. The repurchase commitment is for U.S. $292,000.
- h.
- At June 30, 2002, PEMEX has entered into contracts with various contractors for an approximate amount of Ps. 58,079,877. These contracts are for the development of PIDIREGAS and, therefore, subject to standards required in NIF-09-A.
- i.
- In the normal course of business, PEMEX is named in a number of lawsuits of various natures. PEMEX evaluates the merit of each claim and assesses the likely outcome, accruing a contingent liability when an unfavorable decision is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. PEMEX does not believe a materially unfavorable outcome is probable for any known or pending lawsuits or threatened litigation for which PEMEX has not made accruals.
attributable to PEMEX, PEMEX would be required to purchase the nitrogen production plant from the supplier for Ps. 7,331,192.
11. Specific Oil-Field Exploration and Depletion Reserve Reclass
On April 24, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a transfer of Ps. 8,222,385 from the specific oil field exploration and depletion equity reserve to the accumulated losses from prior years equity account.
12. Differences between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP
A summary of the significant differences between the accounting principles followed by PEMEX and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") is presented below.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP and, as to the recognition of inflation, in accordance with NIF-06-BIS "A", Section A, applicable to public-sector entities, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. Such differences involve methods for measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

F/B-16
Explanation of reconciling items:
- (a)
- Exploration and drilling costs
Under Mexican GAAP, exploration and drilling costs are charged to the equity reserve for exploration and depletion of oil fields. Exploration and drilling costs related to successful oil wells are credited to the equity reserve and recorded as fixed assets. Cost of sales is recognized by recording a per-crude oil barrel quota charge in the statement of operations and recording a credit to the equity reserve.
Under U.S. GAAP, costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells are initially capitalized and are charged to expense if proved reserves are not discovered. Development costs, including the costs of drilling development wells and development-type stratigraphic test wells are capitalized. The capitalized costs of wells and related equipment are amortized on a units-of-production (UOP) basis, as the related oil and gas reserves are extracted. Costs of unproved properties are assessed periodically and a loss is recognized if the properties are determined to be impaired. PEMEX has accordingly adjusted the results of operations and equity to reflect the impact of U.S. GAAP on exploration and drilling costs;i.e., the Mexican GAAP operations charge related to the cost per barrel has been reversed, the equity account related to the specific oil field exploration and drilling reserve has been reversed to zero, and costs related to properties in the exploration and development phase have been capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The adjustment is net of the difference in amortization for capitalized amounts.
- (b)
- Pensions and seniority premiums
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX follows the guidance in Bulletin D-3, "Labor Obligations," which establishes the procedures for measuring the expenses and liabilities for pension plans and seniority premiums. The primary differences between PEMEX's application of Bulletin D-3 and the U.S. GAAP guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 87, "Employers Accounting for Pensions" ("SFAS 87") relate to actuarial assumptions and implementation dates. PEMEX adopted SFAS 87 effective January 1, 1989 and recorded a transition obligation on adoption which is being amortized over 15 years.
- (c)
- Post-retirement benefits
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX accounts for supplemental payments under its Bulletin D-3 calculations. PEMEX, however, accounts for other health service benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. Under U.S. GAAP, PEMEX follows the guidelines of SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," ("SFAS 106") in accounting for health service and other supplemental payments provided to retirees. SFAS 106 requires the accrual of the expected cost of providing such benefits to employees during the years that the employees render service.
- (d)
- Accrued vacation
Under Mexican GAAP, vacation expense is recognized when the vacation is utilized by the employee. Under U.S. GAAP, vacation expense is accrued for when earned by the employee.
- (e)
- Inflation accounting
As mentioned in Note 2 b) to the 2001 Financial Statements, PEMEX's consolidated financial statements recognize the effects of inflation pursuant to NIF-06-BIS "A", section A, which requires that non-monetary assets, including inventories of materials and supplies and fixed assets be restated to their net realizable value (in the case of inventories) or in the case of fixed assets, through appraisals made by independent appraisers or by using the specific price index; the difference is recorded as a revaluation surplus in equity.
F/B-17
U.S. GAAP does not require the recognition of the effects of inflation on the consolidated financial statements. Since NIF-06-BIS "A", Section A is not deemed to be a comprehensive method of accounting for inflation, PEMEX has eliminated, retroactively to 1992, the effect of revaluation of fixed assets, inventories and costs of sales from the reconciliation of income and equity. PEMEX has not adjusted the depreciation effect of fixed asset revaluations prior to 1992 under NIF-06-BIS "A", Section A for the reconciliation of income and equity. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the 1992 balances became the historical basis of the fixed assets.
- (f)
- Fixed assets-depreciation
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX depreciates the book value of its fixed assets which includes amounts capitalized for foreign exchange losses and restatements for inflation. Also, under Mexican GAAP the book value of the fixed assets does not include impairment charges. For U.S. GAAP purposes, PEMEX has reversed the depreciation expense attributable to restatements for inflation (adjustment (e)), foreign currency exchange losses (adjustment (g)) and impairment charges (adjustment (i)) which are included in the Mexican GAAP basis of the fixed assets.
- (g)
- Fixed assets-foreign currency exchange losses
Under Mexican GAAP, exchange losses arising from debt are capitalized as part of fixed assets; any remaining net exchange differences are reflected in the statement of operations as either a debit to costs and operating expenses or a credit to revenues.
Under U.S. GAAP, all exchange gains or losses have been recognized in results of operations in the reconciliation of income and equity. In addition, under U.S. GAAP, foreign currency transaction gains or losses would be reported as non-operating income or expenses. There were no foreign currency exchange losses capitalized for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, primarily as a result of the appreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar, and therefore, no adjustment has been recognized.
- (h)
- Fixed assets-capitalization of interest
Under Mexican GAAP, interest is capitalized to property, plant and equipment based upon total interest cost incurred on loans allocated to construction projects, regardless of whether or not the amounts borrowed have been spent on such projects. Under U.S. GAAP, interest is capitalized based upon total interest incurred in proportion to additions to construction in progress. PEMEX has accordingly adjusted its results of operations and equity to reflect the U.S. GAAP requirements for capitalizing interest. The adjustment for capitalized interest is presented net of the effects of depreciation related to amounts previously capitalized for such assets.
- (i)
- Fixed asset impairment
For U.S. GAAP purposes, beginning on January 1, 2002, PEMEX follows SFAS No.144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, Pemex followed SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 144 and 121 provide criteria for when and in what circumstances an impairment loss (write-down) should be recorded and the manner in which the write-down should be measured. An evaluation of impairment is undertaken whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Under SFAS 144 and 121, the impairment criteria is met when the carrying value of assets exceeds the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related assets. The asset is written down to fair value, if available, or the present value of expected future cash flows. PEMEX measures impairment of its oil and gas producing assets based on the undiscounted estimated future cash flows associated with estimated proved reserves on a field by field basis.
F/B-18
The reversal of the depreciation expense related to impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2001 was reclassified to fixed-assets depreciation (adjustment (f)) to conform to the current period presentation.
- (j)
- Depreciation convention
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX begins to depreciate assets the year after which they are placed in service. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, assets should be depreciated from the date placed in service or using a mid-year convention.
- (k)
- Accounting for derivatives
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138 and as interpreted by the Derivative Implementation Group ("DIG"), was adopted by PEMEX effective as of January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS 133 prescribes requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships and ongoing assessments of effectiveness in order to qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, PEMEX recognized a cumulative effect credit to earnings of Ps. 3,791,269.
- (l)
- Profit in inventory
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX values crude oil and derivatives for export at net realizable value with the difference between the net realizable value and cost recorded in earnings. In contrast, U.S. GAAP requires that inventories be recorded at net realizable value, but not to exceed cost. For U.S. GAAP purposes, PEMEX has eliminated the effect of profit in inventory and has increased such amount to the U.S. GAAP loss presented.
- (m)
- Sale of shares of Repsol
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX recorded gains totalling Ps. 361,150 in prior years on the transfer of its Repsol shares to Chase and J.P. Morgan trusts. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the transfer of the shares does not meet the criteria for sale recognition and accordingly, the gain was reversed and the transfer of the shares was treated as a financing transaction. Therefore, under U.S. GAAP, the Repsol shares would be evaluated pursuant to SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115") and the liability equal to the notional amount resulting from these transactions would also be reflected on the balance sheet.
- (n)
- Advance payments on minimum guaranteed dividend
Under Mexican GAAP, advance payments on the minimum guaranteed dividend owed to the Mexican Government, derived from the capitalization of debt, are recorded as an account receivable prior to formalization of the amount by the Board of Directors of PEMEX.
Under U.S. GAAP, such receivable balances are considered as a reduction in equity. PEMEX has accordingly adjusted equity to reflect the minimum guaranteed dividend payment as a reduction in equity.
The effective rate used to calculate the minimum guaranteed dividend is LIBOR plus 0.8125% (which was in a range from 2.71625% to 2.86% during the first six-month period of 2002 and from 3.4475% to 7.4626% for the year 2001).
- (o)
- Accounting for investment securities
F/B-19
PEMEX follows SFAS 115 for U.S. GAAP purposes. PEMEX has classified its investment securities as "Available-for-Sale" and, accordingly, they are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from the statement of operations and reported in other comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the securities is determined by quoted market prices.
Under Mexican GAAP, investment securities are carried at cost. The unrealized gain for U.S. GAAP purposes is largely explained by the appreciation of the underlying security price.
II. Additional disclosure requirements:
- (a)
- Consolidation of Pemex Finance
PEMEX and certain subsidiaries entered into several agreements with Pemex Finance. Under these contracts, Pemex Finance purchases certain accounts receivable and rights to future receivables. Pemex Finance obtains resources for such purchases through the placement of debt instruments in the international markets.
In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which serves as a replacement of SFAS No. 125, PEMEX has evaluated the Pemex Finance structure in light of the permitted and non-permitted activities as well as the transition provisions of a Qualified Special Purpose Entity ("QSPE") and determined that Pemex Finance does not qualify as a QSPE under the new standard. Consequently, as of June 30, 2002, the U.S. GAAP consolidated total assets would have increased by Ps. 2,511,640 and total liabilities would have increased by Ps. 501,325. Had Pemex Finance been consolidated, there would not have been any effect on equity or net income.
- (b)
- Special Tax on Production and Services
Under Mexican GAAP, the IEPS is reflected as part of "Net domestic sales" when charged to customers and then deducted from "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other."
Under U.S. GAAP, this tax would have no net effect on revenues nor would it be deducted after "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other," as both the amount charged to customers and the amount accrued as payable to the tax authorities would be reflected within revenues.
As a result, under U.S. GAAP, revenues would have been less than those reflected under Mexican GAAP by Ps. 60,164,165 and Ps. 39,872,564, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Additionally those amounts would not have been deducted after "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other."
- (c)
- Cash flow information
Under Mexican GAAP, PEMEX presents statements of changes in financial position. In contrast with the statements of cash flows required by U.S. GAAP, PEMEX's statements of changes in financial position do not include certain information relating to the three major categories of sources and uses of funds: operating, financing and investing activities.
Under U.S. GAAP, the following information would be disclosed separately in reconciling the loss for the year to funds provided by operations: changes in hydrocarbon extraction duties, changes in allowances for doubtful accounts and slow-moving inventories, net exchange gains or losses and accrued interest income from affiliates. Additionally, under U.S. GAAP, borrowings and repayments of debt would be presented separately in arriving at funds from financing activities, and investments in and the proceeds from the sale of property, wells, plants and transportation equipment would be presented separately in arriving at funds from investment activities. In the statements of changes in financial
F/B-20
position, PEMEX has disclosed information within the financing and investment categories on a net basis.

- (1)
- The items that are excluded from the determination of cash flows under SFAS 95 are the provision for both doubtful accounts and obsolete inventories.
- (2)
- The difference is due to the effects of the advanced payments on minimum guaranteed dividend and the foreign currency translation gain on accounts receivable.
- (3)
- The difference is because for Mexican GAAP purposes, the dividends to the Mexican Government are those approved by the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos in a given year whereas for U.S. GAAP purposes, such dividends are the amount paid in that year.
- (4)
- Disposal of fixed assets did not generate material cash flow.
(d) Business segment information
PEMEX's primary business is the exploration for, and production of, crude oil and natural gas, and the refining and marketing of petroleum products conducted through four business segments: Pemex-Exploration and Production, Pemex-Refining, Pemex-Gas and Basic Petrochemicals, and Pemex-
F/B-22
Petrochemicals. Management makes decisions related to the operations of the consolidated business along these four strategic lines.

(e) Recently issued accounting standards
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and amends or supersedes a number of related interpretations of APB 16. The statement is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations, eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, and prescribes the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets, accounting for negative goodwill and the required disclosures in respects of business combinations. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." SFAS 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business acquisition) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. SFAS 142 also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 142 are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 142 is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statements at that date. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 requires the recognition of a liability for the legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction and/or normal operation of the asset. The liability is recognized at fair value in the period in which it is
F/B-23
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. A corresponding asset retirement cost is added to the carrying value of the long-lived asset and is depreciated to expense using a systematic and rational method over its useful life. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Upon initial adoption, a liability is recognized for existing asset retirement obligations and the associated asset retirement cost is capitalized as an increase to the carrying value of the asset. The recognized liability and asset are adjusted for cumulative accretion and accumulated depreciation, respectively, from the time period when the asset retirement obligation would have originally been recognized had this statement been in effect to the date of initial adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used, but resolves a number of implementation issues and establishes a single accounting model for assets to be disposed of. SFAS 144 also retains the requirements to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of by sale, abandonment or distribution to owners or is classified as held for sale. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and their interim periods. The provisions of SFAS 144 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale or otherwise are effective for disposal activities initiated after the effective date of SFAS 144 or after its initial application. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002." SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," SFAS No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers," and SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." As a result, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt will no longer be classified as extraordinary items unless they meet the criteria of unusual or infrequent as described in Accounting Principles Boards Opinion 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." In addition, SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 145 to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). The issuance of SFAS No. 146 nullifies the former guidance provided by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring" ("EITF 94-3"). SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred, rather than on the date commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for liabilities, related to exit or
F/B-24
disposal activities, which are incurred after December 31, 2002, while earlier application is encouraged. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of Interpretation No. 34)." FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies, relating to a guarantor's accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. FIN 45's provisions for initial recognition and measurement should be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The guarantor's previous accounting for guarantees that were issued before the date of FIN 45's initial application may not be revised or restated to reflect the effect of the recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of both interim and annual periods that end after December 15, 2002. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 45 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51." The primary objectives of FIN 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights ("variable interest entities" or "VIEs") and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE (the "primary beneficiary"). This new model for consolidation applies to an entity which either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. FIN 46 applies to public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual period, and it applies to nonpublic enterprises as of the end of the applicable annual period. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 46 will have on the consolidated financial statements.

General
The unaudited supplementary consolidated price-level adjusted financial information included in the following pages has been prepared pursuant to Rule 3-20 (c) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. For the periods presented, Mexico was not considered a hyperinflationary economy.

The supplemental financial information reflects all appropriate U.S. GAAP adjustments and, in the opinion of PEMEX management, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the supplemental price-level adjusted financial information have been included herein. Unless otherwise noted, this financial information has been prepared in a manner consistent with the historical financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 and for the three years then ended and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2002 and the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, presented herein.

- As discussed in Note 12 II (b), under Mexican GAAP, the IEPS tax is reflected in revenue when charged to customers and, at the same time, deducted from "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other." Under U.S. GAAP the IEPS tax would have no effect on revenues nor would it be deducted from "Income before hydrocarbon extraction duties, special tax on production and services and other".

- •
- For comparability purposes, balance sheet information as of December 31, 2001 has been restated to pesos as of June 30, 2002 by utilizing the change in the NCPI from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002.
