REVENUES
--------

     Revenues in the quarter grew 27% to Ps. $1,545 million, compared to Ps.
$1,219 million in the same period of 2004. For the first nine months of 2005,
revenues increased 25% to Ps. $4,313 million compared to Ps. $3,457 million
recorded in the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to growth
in revenues from service revenue generated mainly by an increase in the
subscriber base, as well as higher revenues from value added services. Grupo
Iusacell closed the third quarter of 2005 with 1.72 million subscribers.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
------------------

     During the quarter, total costs increased 24% to Ps. $889 million, compared
with Ps. $718 million recorded in the third quarter of 2004. Operating expenses
increased by 28% to Ps. $467 million, in comparison with Ps. $365 million in the
third quarter the prior year. When comparing cumulative figures for the first
nine months of 2005 with the same period the prior year, the company showed an
11% increase in total costs to Ps. $2,297 million from Ps. $2,076 million, as
well as a 39% increase in operating expenses to Ps. $1,257 million from Ps. $904
million.

     The increase in total costs is primarily due to the fees for PCS
concessions awarded to us in 2005, interconnection expenses, value added
services costs, and technical expenses.

     The increase in operating expenses during the quarter mainly reflects
increases in advertising expenses related to the launch of new products, such
as: Movil Office (Mobile Office) and BAM (broadband mobile), as well as an
increase in administrative expenses owing to the creation of regional sales and
customer care structures in line with company strategy to provide the best
service to our clients.

OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
-----------------------------------------------------

     Iusacell recorded a 39% increase in operating income before depreciation
and amortization for the quarter, to Ps. $189 million compared to Ps. $136
million in the same period the preceding year. For the first nine months of
2005, Iusacell recorded a 59% increase, to Ps. $759 million compared to Ps. $476
million in the same period the prior year. This is due to the increase in
revenues.

NET INCOME
----------

     Iusacell recorded a 48% increase in net loss, from Ps. $294 million for the
third quarter of 2004 ti Ps. $435 million for the third quarter of 2005. This
increase is due mainly to a decrease in foreign exchange and monetary position
gains. However, for the first nine months of the year, the company had a 49%
reduction in net loss, with Ps. $835 million in the first nine months of 2005 as
compared to Ps. $1,648 million in the same period in 2004.

                                        5


CAPEX
-----

     In the third quarter of 2005, the Company invested approximately US$17
million, primarily for expansion of coverage and capacity of Iusacell's 3-G
