The 117% revenue increase in the entertainment division of Ps. 607 was mainly due to a higher volume and a
greater diversity of events produced in Mexico and abroad, including various musical concerts, several cultural,
sports and family events, and new theatre productions, as described later in the reporto In particular, it is
important to mention (i) the incorporation of CIE-R&P, S.A. (CIE-R&P) during 1998, a joint venture between
CIE and Rock & Pop, S.R.L. (R&P), the largest live rock entertainment promoter in Argentina and Chile. This
joint venture, of which CIE owns 70%, accounted for 24% of CIE's consolidated revenues in 1998, (ii) the
revenue contributions of Grupo Magico and RAC Producciones during 1998 were significantly higher than
reported during 1997, as both companies were consolidated in CIE's financial statements until December of
that year, and therefore, only a certain number of their revenue days were recorded in CIE's financial
statements at year end 1997.
The 117% revenue increase in the commercial division of Ps. 146 was due to (i) a higher volume of rotational
advertising on soccer fields, the promotion and organization of more trade fairs and exhibitions, as well as an
increased selling of event sponsorships, advertisement spaces and merchandising in Mexico and abroad, in
particular Argentina. (ii) To the addition of Publitop, S.A. de C.V's, ("Publitop") operations during 1998, in
which CIE has a 75% stake, and which markets billboard advertising on pedestrian overpasses.
Finally, the 20% revenue increase in the services division of Ps. 49 was mainly due to a growth in
computerized ticketing revenues through the Ticketmaster System. This was a result of a higher number of
events during the year, jointly with important ticket-advertising revenues and new venues and events that
became affiliated with the system. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the TicketMaster On-Line operation
in Mexico, the Internet ticketing service launched during the third quarter of 1998, recorded important increases
in both, the number of "hits" and ticket sales.
Gross income increased 127%, to Ps. 689, which compares favorably to the Ps. 304 achieved during 1997. For
the year, CIE recorded a 41.0% gross margin, which represents a 640 basis points increase as compared to the
34.6% gross margin recorded during 1997. The gross margin increase was mainly the result of a lower
percentage of costs, as various efficiencies and economies of scale were achieved between CIE's workforce and
the newly established subsidiaries during the joint production and promotion of several events.
Operating income for 1998 increased 82%, to Ps. 349, as compared with an operating income of Ps. 191
recorded in 1997, which is the result of the 91% revenue growth during the year. Operating margin for 1998
was 20.8%, as compared to a 21.8% operating margin recorded during 1997, resulting from a Ps. 228 increase
in operating expenses. This increase in operating expenses were mainly attributable to the operating expenses
of the Company's new subsidiaries. As a general explanation, it is worth mentioning that when compared to
1997, the integration of a different mix of costs and expenses of CIE's subsidiaries during 1998, in particular
those that were recently acquired, resulted also in material variations in both, the gross and operating income.
Operating cash flow (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization "EBITDA") increased 88%,
to Ps. 408, as compared to Ps. 217 reported during 1997. This increase is mainly due to the operating income
increase previously mentioned, in conjunction with a 126% increase in depreciation and amortization during
1998, to Ps. 59, resulting from the incorporation of R&P, Publitop and Grupo Magico's fixed assets during the
year.
For 1998, Integral Cost of Financing (ICF) increased 133%, to a cost of Ps. 77. The principal reason for this
increase was a higher interest expense, which increased by 167%. Accrued interest during the year was affected
by a Ps. 480 higher average debt during the year, to Ps. 647, coupled with higher Peso interest rates. During
1998, interest rates in Mexico averaged 26.89% (TIIE), which compared unfavorably with the average interest
Page 2
rates of21.89% during 1997.
The increase in the Company's debt is the result of CIE's strategy to finance its working capital needs through
a mix of debt coupled with the issuance of equity in the capital markets, in order to support its organic and newoperations growth. The use of proceeds of this debt was reflected in material increases in fixed and deferred
assets, including pre-operational investments, from which it is important to highlight the 70% acquisition of
R&P including The Buenos Aires 200 and the Teatro Opera, coupled with the development of The Americas
Horse Racetrack in Mexico City and the El Salitre amusement park in Bogota, among others.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that some of these projects are not expected to generate significant cashflows until 1999-2000, and therefore, did not contributed to EBITDA's income during 1998.
To a lesser extent, ICF was also affected by a Ps. 6 de crease in interest income, as a result of a higher portion of
US Dollar-denominated cash balances, which are invested at much lower interest rates.
Offsetting these effects, during 1998 the Company recorded a Ps. 55 exchange currency gain. Just for the fourth
quarter of 1998, CIE recorded an exchange currency gain of Ps. 45, mainly driven by an accounting adjustment
made by the Company's auditors in connection with CIE's local exchange currency position during the second
half ofthe year. To a lesser extent, a volatile exchange rate during the year, which went from 8.07/US Dollar at
December 31, 1997 to 9.94/US Dollar at December 31, 1998, positively affected the Company's average
domestic US-dollar net asset position.
In addition, CIE's result in monetary position was a Ps. 18 gain during the year, as compared to a Ps. 8 loss
recorded during 1997, as the 18.6% inflation rate for the year affected the Company's net-liability domestic
monetary position.
As non-recurrent operations, CIE recorded (i), a Ps. 49 expense in other financial operations, principally
resulting from the recognition of certain expenses derived from the restructure of some operations in the
Buenos Aires 200 and in the El Salitre' amusement park in Bogota, Colombia; and (ii), a Ps. 6 loss in net
extraordinary items, mainly due to certain costs related to the downsizing of the Company's administrativestaff during the period, in order to continue to increase internal efficiencies.
The Company recorded Ps. 47 in taxes during 1998, as compared with Ps. 16 in taxes during 1997, consisting
mainly bf provisions for income tax, reflecting an increase in the taxable income of the Group's subsidiaries.
The Company does not consolidate the results of its subsidiaries for fiscal purposes.
Minority interest for the year was Ps. 21, as compared to Ps. 6 recorded during 1997. This important increase is
mainly due to the incorporation of the previously mentioned operations during 1998, where the Company has
minority partners.
Net income for the year increased 17% to Ps. 149 miliion, from Ps. 127 million reported during 1997, driven by
the important revenue and operating income increases as explained earlier, which were partially offset by a
higher ICF and by the profit sharing to minority partners, as mentioned in the past paragraph. Additionally, the
net income for the year was significantly affected by a non-recurrent financial expense of Ps. 49.
Balance Sheet
CIE's total assets at December 31, 1998 were Ps. 4,792,212% higher as compared with total assets of Ps. 1,534
at December 31, 1997. As a result of the Company's use of proceeds in connection to its debt and equity
issuances as previously explained, a Ps. 435 increase in assets was recorded in property, plant and equipment,
Page 3
which mainly retlects the incorporation of CIE-R&P, Publitop and Grupo Magico's fixed assets during the
year, jointly with the first stages of the revamping and construction of the horse racetrack and related facilities.
In addition, a Ps. 2,523 increase in deferred assets, retlects (i) the recording of a Ps 1,241 valuation of the
Company's renewable twenty-five-year concession to operate a horse racing and betting facility at The
Americas Horse Racetrack of Mexico City, a 30-acre horse race track, jointly with a renewable fifty-year
concession to develop a family entertainment and cultural center in the approximately 104-acres surrounding
the racetrack. In accordance with Mexican GAAP, the initial valuation of the concession was based on an
average value of the projected real estate master-plan and the discounted cash tlows, and was performed by
independent specialists in the area. (ii) The goodwill recorded in connection to the purchase of Grupo Magico
and RAC Producciones, as well as deferred taxes and pre-operative expenses.
Other important increases of Ps. 308 and Ps. 268 were recorded in other account and document receivables, and
trade receivables, respectively, retlectillg the Company's organic and acquisition-driven growth during the
year.
Total liabilities at December 31, 1998 were Ps. 1,791, a 162% increase as compared with total liabilities at
December 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to a Ps. 830 increase in short-term and long-term bank
loans, as a result of the Company's strategy to finance its working capital needs through debt and the issuance
of equity as mentioned above. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company raised a Dollar-denomillated
long-term loan ofUS$ 50 million (equivalent to Ps. approximately Ps. 500).
The Company's stockholders equity increased by 252% to Ps. 3,001 at December 31, 1998, as compared to
stockholders equity of Ps. 851 recorded during 1997. This important increase was mainly due to (i) the Ps. 149
net income for the year, (ii) a Ps. 554 increase in "premium on issuance of capital stock", recorded after the
public offering of "L" non-voting shares in the Mexican Stock Exchange, through which the Company raised
approximately US$ 60 million, and (iii) a Ps. 1,241 increase in the "surplus on the restatement of capital stock",
retlecting the valuation ofthe racetrack concessions, as explained earlier.
Fourtlz Quarter of 1998
For the fourth quarter of 1998, revenues increased 72% to Ps. 517, from the Ps. 30 I recorded during the fourth
quarter of 1997. This increase retlects (i), the incorporation of CIE-R&P, Grupo Magico, RAC and Publitop
operations, as explained in the full year analysis, and (ii), to an increase in the volume of events produced
during the period, including the 20 successful presentations of Timbiriche's reunion in Mexico's National
Auditorium and the two-day-Iong "Festival de Rock Latino" in CIE's Foro Sol. Abroad, CIE-R&P's successful
initiation of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" in the Teatro Opera, in Buenos Aires, joilltly with the impressive
performance of the Buenos Aires FM radio station, Rock & Pop, as well as the successful presentations of
David Copperfield promoted by CIE-R&P in Madrid and Barcelona, also contributed to the revenue increase.
The Company recorded a 21.4% operating margin for the quarter, as compared to a 22.3% operating margin
recorded during the same period in 1997, resulting from a Ps. 96 increase in the operating expenses, to Ps. 107.
This increase was the result of (i) an important contribution by the operating expenses of the new subsidiaries,
and (ii), when compared with the fourth quarter of 1998, during the same period in 1997 the Company recorded
an unusual low level of operating expenses, due to a reclassification of certain expenses to the cost of sale,
made by the Company's auditors at the end ofthat year.
EBITDA increased 43% to Ps. 120 million, as compared to the same period in 1997. ICF increased 36% to Ps.
21, from Ps. 15 recorded during the fourth quarter of 1997.

CIE recorded a net income of Ps. 42 during the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, as compared
with a Ps. 41 net income in the same period of 1997. Even the important increase in revenues and operating
income, the net income was affected by a higher ICF, and Ps. 40 in non-recurrent financial expenses and
extraordinary items.

During the month of October, CIE acquired the remaining 49% of Rac Producciones, a subsidiary of CIE,
thus becoming a 100% holder of this company. Rac will continue to operate as the market leader in
promotion of Latin live and family events. This transaction generated important economies of scale and
efficiencies within the Group, and provided depth to its management, through the incorporation of
experienced executives.

according to independent agreements with each venue. This alliance included the purchase of the Boletel
brand by Ticketmaster-México.

additional 5 years, by the proper Mexico City authorities.
Year 2000
Page 7
A majority of CIE's systems were, since its development and/or acquisition, Year 2000 ready. However, it is
possible that our current computer, software application, ticket-selling, internal accounting, customer billing
and other business systems, working either alone or in conjunction with those of third parties who do business
with us, will not accept input of, store, manipulate and output dates in the year 2000 or thereafter without error.
Although we have initiated a company-wide program to identify and address the impact of the Year 2000
problem on our operations, we cannot offer you any assurance that we wi/l avoid business interruptions or
shutdown,financialloss, reputational harm or legalliability. Ourprogram inc/udes steps to:
. identify hardware components and software applications that require modification or replacement;
. develop a corrective action plan and cost estimate (and a contingency plan and cost estimate in the event
any such modifications or replacements are not implemented on a timely basis); and
test and implement the corrective action plan.
.
The Company has substantially completed the identification of the scope of its Year 2000. 8ased on its
analysis, the Company estimates that its total costs to resolve its Year 2000 problem will be as high as US $
500,000, and that all required corrective actions will be implemented by June 1999. The Company is still
determining the estimated costs of contingency plan if the corrective actions are not implemented on a timely
basis. The Company has also received responses fram a substantial majority of its suppliers conforming that
they are Year 2000 ready, including on of its most important supplier, Telmex. Although the Company
estimates that the cost of resolving its Year 2000 problem is not material, the complexity of the issue and
possible unforeseen risks may render the actual correction more costly. In addition, the failure of suppliers and
clients to complete their respective Year 2000 corrective work in a timely manner could result in disruptions
and delays in the Company's services.
