         The terms "we", "us", "our" and "Innova" are used in this annual report
to refer to Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V and its consolidated subsidiaries. We
maintain our books and records in pesos and present our financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Mexico, or Mexican
GAAP. Mexican GAAP differ in some significant respects from generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and generally accepted
accounting principles adopted in other countries. Under Mexican GAAP, we must
account for the effects of inflation. Accordingly, we have restated all data in
our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as our
selected financial information, in constant pesos in purchasing power as of
December 31, 2002, unless otherwise indicated. See Note 3 to our consolidated
financial statements.

         We use the Mexican Interbank free market exchange rate, commonly known
as the Interbank Rate, as reported by Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A., to prepare
our financial statements. Unless otherwise indicated, references to "Ps." or
"pesos" in this annual report are to Mexican pesos and references to "U.S.
dollars," "US$" or "$," are to United States dollars. As of December 31, 2002,
the Interbank Rate was Ps. 10.464 per US$1.00. We use the Interbank Rate as of
December 31, 2002 to translate pesos into U.S. dollars in this report, unless
otherwise indicated. See "Item 3: Key Information--Exchange Rate Information"
for information regarding the rates of exchange between the peso and the U.S.
dollar for specified periods. You should not construe the exchange rate
translations in this report as representations that the peso amounts represent
actual dollar amounts or that they could be converted into U.S. dollars at the
rate indicated or at any other rate.

our financial statements describes the principal differences between Mexican
GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to Innova and reconciles net loss and total
stockholders' deficit to U.S. GAAP.

(4)      See Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements.

(5)      The principal differences between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they
         relate to us consist of differences in the capitalization and
         amortization of pre-operating expenses, the provision for costs
         associated with re-pointing our subscriber's antennas from the
         Solidaridad 2 satellite to the PAS-9 satellite, the provision for the
         redundant use of Solidaridad Satellite, the reversal of certain other
         accruals, the capitalization of financing costs, the restatement of
         property and equipment, and the recognition of revenue. See Note 21 to
         our consolidated financial statements.

(6)      See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements.

(7)      Beginning in 2000, we accounted for the agreement for the use of 12
         transponders on the PAS-9 satellite as a capital lease, recognizing a
         satellite transponder asset and corresponding liability equal to the
         net present value of the monthly payments over the lease term. The
         satellite transponder asset is depreciated on a straight-line-basis
         over the lease term. Part of the monthly payments are recognized in our
         income statements as interest expense and part as a reduction of the
         satellite obligation. Our income statement also recognizes on a monthly
         basis the amortization of the net present value of our satellite
         transponder asset. Our other satellite transponder agreements have been
         accounted for as operating leases. See Note 6 to our consolidated
         financial statements.

                            EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

     Since November 1991, Mexico has had a free market for foreign exchange, and
since December 1994, the Mexican government has allowed the Peso to float freely
against the U.S. Dollar. The Peso declined sharply in December 1994 and
continued to fall under conditions of high volatility in 1995. In 1996, the Peso
fell more slowly and was less volatile. Relative stability characterized the
foreign exchange markets during the first three quarters of 1997. The fall of
the Hang Seng Index of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 24, 1997 marked
the beginning of a period of increased volatility in the foreign exchange
markets with the Peso falling over 10% in just a few days. During 1998, the
foreign exchange markets experienced volatility as a result of the financial
crises in Asia and Russia and the financial turmoil in countries such as Brazil
and Venezuela. More recently, the economic and financial crises in Argentina and
Venezuela have resulted in volatility in the foreign exchange markets, have
caused instability in the Latin American financial markets and could continue to
have a negative impact on the value of the Peso. See "-- Risk Factors -- Risk
Factors Related to Mexico -- Developments in Other Emerging Markets Countries or
the United States May Affect Us and the Prices for Our Securities." We cannot
assure you that the Mexican government will maintain its current policies with

     The Mexican economy has suffered balance of payment deficits and shortages

restrict the ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities to convert Pesos
to U.S. Dollars, we cannot assure you that the Mexican government will not
institute restrictive exchange control policies in the future, as has occurred
from time to time in the past. To the extent that the Mexican government
institutes restrictive exchange control policies in the future, our ability to
transfer or to convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars and other currencies for the
purpose of making timely payments of interest and principal of indebtedness, as
well as obtaining foreign programming and other goods, would be adversely
affected. See "-- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Mexico -- Currency

                                  RISK FACTORS

     The following is a discussion of risks associated with our company and an
investment in our securities. Some of the risks of investing in our securities
are general risks associated with doing business in Mexico. Other risks are
specific to our business. The discussion below contains information about the
Mexican government and the Mexican economy obtained from official statements of
the Mexican government as well as other public sources. We have not
independently verified this information. Any of the following risks, if they
actually occur, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operations, or the price of our securities.

                         RISK FACTORS RELATED TO MEXICO

ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN MEXICO MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

     Substantially all of our revenues are denominated in Mexican pesos and are
generated in Mexico. Our management and many of our assets are located in
Mexico. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of
operations may be affected by the general condition of the Mexican economy, the
devaluation of the Mexican peso as compared to the U.S. dollar, Mexican
inflation, interest rates, regulation, taxation, social instability and other
political, social and economic developments in or affecting Mexico.

MEXICO HAS EXPERIENCED ADVERSE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

     Mexico has experienced a prolonged period of slow economic growth since
2001, primarily as a result of the downturn in the U.S. economy. In 2000,
Mexico's gross domestic product, or GDP, increased 6.6%. According to Mexican
government estimates, GDP decreased 0.3% in 2001 and increased 0.9% and 2.3% in
2002 and the three month period ended March 31, 2003, respectively. Inflation in
2000, 2001, 2002 and the three month period ended March 31, 2003 was 9.0%, 4.4%,
5.7% and 1.3%, respectively. Nonetheless, at approximately 4.7% per annum (as
measured from May 2002 to May 2003), Mexico's current level of inflation remains
higher than the annual inflation rates of its main trading partners. GDP growth
fell short of Mexican government estimates in 2002 due primarily to the slowdown
in the growth of the U.S. economy, the reduction of investments, the increase in
unemployment and a decrease in exports as a result of the 13.9% depreciation of
the Peso as compared to the U.S. Dollar. According to Mexican government
estimates, GDP in Mexico is expected to grow by approximately 2.25%, while
inflation is expected to be less than 4.0%, in 2003. We cannot assure you that
these estimates will prove to be accurate. During the first quarter of 2003, the
Mexican economy continued to slow, in large part, as a result of the continued
weakness of the U.S. economy, the uncertainty generated by the continued
hostilities in the Middle East and the related potential impacts on oil prices
and consumer confidence, uncertainty caused by the continuing threat of large
scale international terrorist attacks and a decrease in consumption as a result
of the recent depreciation of the Mexican Peso as compared to the U.S. Dollar.
We believe that the economic slowdown has negatively affected and could continue
to negatively affect our revenues.

     If the Mexican economy falls into a recession or if other economic events
such as increased inflation and interest rates or deflation occur, our business,
financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected for the
following reasons:

         -    demand for DTH satellite services, pay-per-view programming and
              other services may decrease;

         -    demand for advertising may decrease both because consumers may
              reduce expenditures for our advertisers' products and because
              advertisers may reduce advertising expenditures;

         -    to the extent inflation exceeds our price increases, our prices
              and revenues will be adversely affected in "real" terms; and

         -    if the rate of Mexican inflation exceeds the rate of devaluation
              of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar, our U.S. Dollar-denominated
              sales, if any, would decrease in relative terms when stated in
              constant Pesos.

<PAGE>

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS OR THE DEVALUATION AND DEPRECIATION OF THE PESO COULD
LIMIT THE ABILITY OF US AND OTHERS TO CONVERT PESOS INTO U.S. DOLLARS OR OTHER
CURRENCIES AND/OR ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

     Most of our indebtedness and a significant amount of our costs are U.S.
Dollar-denominated, while our revenues are primarily Peso-denominated. As a
result, decreases in the value of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar could cause
us to incur foreign exchange losses, which would reduce our net income.

     Severe devaluation or depreciation of the Peso may also result in
governmental intervention, as has resulted in Argentina, or disruption of
international foreign exchange markets. This may limit our ability to transfer
or convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars and other currencies for the purpose of
making timely payments of interest and principal on our indebtedness and
adversely affect our ability to pay our satellite and other dollar-denominated
costs, obtain foreign programming and other imported goods. While the Mexican
government does not currently restrict, and for many years has not restricted,
the right or ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities to convert Pesos
into U.S. Dollars or to transfer other currencies outside of Mexico, the Mexican
government could institute restrictive exchange control policies in the future.
Devaluation or depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar may also
adversely affect U.S. Dollar prices for our securities.

HIGH INTEREST RATES IN MEXICO COULD INCREASE OUR FINANCING COSTS

     Mexico historically has had, and may continue to have, high real and
nominal interest rates. The interest rates on 28-day Mexican government treasury
securities averaged 15.2%, 11.3%, 7.1% and 8.8% for 2000, 2001, 2002 and the
three month period ended March 31, 2003. Accordingly, if we need to incur
Peso-denominated debt in the future, it will likely be at high interest rates.

POLITICAL EVENTS IN MEXICO COULD AFFECT MEXICAN ECONOMIC POLICY AND OUR
BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     In the Mexican national elections held on July 2, 2000, Vicente Fox of the
opposition party, the Partido Accion Nacional, or the National Action Party, won
the presidency. His victory ended more than 70 years of presidential rule by the
Partido Revolucionario Institucional, or the Institutional Revolutionary Party.
Neither the Institutional Revolutionary Party nor the National Action Party
succeeded in securing a majority in the Chamber of Deputies or the Senate, the
two houses of the Mexican Congress. Although members of the National Action
Party have governed several states and municipalities, the National Action Party
had not previously governed on a federal level. President Fox has encountered
strong opposition to a number of his proposed reforms in both the Chamber of
Deputies and the Senate, where opposition forces have frequently joined to block
his initiatives. This legislative deadlock could slow down the progress of
reforms in Mexico. In addition, new legislative elections will be held in July
2003, which may further hinder President Fox's ability to implement his
initiatives. The effects on the social and political situation in Mexico, as
well as currency instability in Mexico, could adversely affect the Mexican
economy, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations, as well as market conditions and
prices for our securities.

DEVELOPMENTS IN OTHER EMERGING MARKET COUNTRIES OR THE UNITED STATES MAY AFFECT
US AND THE PRICES FOR OUR SECURITIES

     In the past, economic crises in Asia, Russia, Brazil and other areas and
slowdowns in the U.S. economy adversely affected the Mexican economy, and thus,
future economic developments in other emerging markets such as Argentina and
Venezuela , as well as recessions in the United States, could adversely affect
the Mexican economy in future periods. The market value of securities of Mexican
companies, the economic and political situation in Mexico and our financial
condition and results of operations are, to varying degrees, affected by
economic and market conditions in other emerging market countries and in the
U.S. Although economic conditions in other emerging market countries and the
U.S. may differ significantly from economic conditions in Mexico, investors'
reactions to developments in any of these other countries may have an adverse
effect on Mexico, the market value or trading price of securities of Mexican
issuers, including ours, or our business.

     In particular, Argentina's insolvency and default on its public debt, which
deepened the existing financial, economic and political crises in that country,
could adversely affect Mexico, the market value of our securities or

                                     - 5 -

our business. The former Argentine President, Eduardo Duhalde, took office on
January 6, 2002 in the midst of significant political unrest after a series of
interim presidents and administrations took office following the resignation of
President Fernando de la Rua in December 2001. On May 15, 2003, a new President,
Nestor Kirchner, took office in Argentina and is expected to retain the same
economy minister and continue the fiscal and monetary policies initiated by
former President Duhalde The devaluation of the Argentine peso may have a
material adverse effect on Argentina and presents risks that the Argentine
financial system may collapse and that substantial inflation may occur. The
rapid and radical nature of changes in the Argentine social, political, economic
and legal environment have continued to create significant uncertainty. To the
extent that the new Argentine government is unsuccessful in preventing further
economic decline via this and other measures, this crisis may adversely affect
the market value and trading price of our securities.

     In addition, on April 12, 2002, following a week of strikes, demonstrations
and riots, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was forced to resign from office by
Venezuela's military commanders in an attempted coup d'etat. Although Mr. Chavez
was restored to power on April 14, 2002, the political and economic future of
Venezuela remains uncertain. More recently, a nationwide general strike that
occurred between December 2002 and January 2003 caused a significant reduction
in oil production in Venezuela, and has had a material adverse effect on
Venezuela's oil-dependent economy. In response to the general strike and in an
effort to shore up the economy and control inflation, in February 2003
Venezuelan authorities imposed foreign exchange and price controls on specified
products. We cannot predict what effect, if any, these events will have on the
economies of other emerging market countries, Mexico, the price of our
securities or our business.

     In late October 1997, prices of both Mexican debt securities and Mexican
equity securities dropped substantially, precipitated by a sharp drop in Asian
securities markets. Similarly, in the second half of 1998 and in early 1999,
prices of Mexican securities were adversely affected by the economic crises in
Russia and Brazil. The price of our securities has also historically been
adversely affected by increases in interest rates in the United States and
elsewhere.

THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE UNITED STATES, AND MORE RECENTLY
THE UNITED STATES INVASION OF IRAQ, HAVE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED INDUSTRY AND
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS GLOBALLY, AND THESE CONDITIONS HAVE HAD, AND MAY CONTINUE TO
HAVE, A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS

     Our net sales are affected by numerous factors, including changes in
viewing preferences, programming costs and consumers' purchasing power.
Historically, these factors correlate with the general condition of the economy
and thus, are subject to the risks that arise from adverse changes in domestic
and global economic conditions, as well as fluctuations in consumer confidence
and spending, which may decline as a result of numerous factors outside of our
control, such as terrorist attacks and acts of war. The terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001 depressed economic activity in the U.S. and globally,
including the Mexican economy. Since those attacks, there have been terrorist
attacks abroad and ongoing threats of future terrorist attacks in the United
States and abroad. In response to these terrorist attacks and threats, the
United States has instituted several anti-terrorism measures, most notably, the
formation of the Office of Homeland Security, a declaration of war against
terrorism and the invasion of Iraq. Although it is not possible at this time to
determine the long-term effect of these terrorist threats and attacks and the
consequent response by the United States, there can be no assurance that there
will not be other attacks or threats in the United States or abroad that will
lead to a further economic contraction in the United States or any other major
markets. In the short term, however, terrorist activity against the United
States and the consequent response by the United States has contributed to the
uncertainty of the stability of the United States economy as well as global
capital markets. It is not certain how long these economic conditions will
continue. If terrorist attacks continue or worsen, if the weak economic
conditions in the U.S. continue or worsen, or if a global recession
materializes, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
materially and adversely affected.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEXICAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE
PRESENTATION OF OUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Our annual audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with Mexican GAAP, which differ in some significant respects from
U.S. GAAP. We are required, however, to file an annual report on Form 20-F
containing financial statements reconciled to U.S. GAAP, although this filing
only contains year-end financial statements reconciled to U.S. GAAP for certain
fiscal years. See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements.

                      RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

WE MAY NEVER GENERATE REVENUE SUFFICIENT TO COVER OUR COSTS AND SERVICE OUR DEBT

     We have experienced substantial net losses and substantial negative cash
flow from operations and we expect to continue to experience substantial net
losses and substantial negative cash flow for at least the next several years
while we develop and expand our DTH service and increase our subscriber base. We
may encounter difficulties breaking even, particularly in light of the intense
competition we face in the pay television industry in Mexico and our substantial
level of debt. We cannot assure you that increases in our subscriber base will
result in profitability or positive cash flow in future years.

OUR SIGNIFICANT DEBT LEVELS LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS, AFFECT OUR
PROFITABILITY AND COULD LEAD TO DIFFICULTIES IN OBTAINING NEW SOURCES OF
FINANCING REQUIRED TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS

     As of December 31, 2002, we had indebtedness of approximately US$750.1
million (not including normal operational liabilities), consisting of the US$375
million represented by our senior notes, long-term loans of US$309.9 million
provided by Innova's owners and the interest on these loans in the amount of
US$65.2 million. We anticipate incurring substantial net losses and substantial
negative cash flow for at least the next several years as we service our
indebtedness and fund continuing operations, including the monthly US$1.7
million we must pay to PanAmSat Corporation, or PanAmSat, for satellite signal
reception and retransmission services. We therefore may require additional
financing in the future and cannot assure you that any such financing will be
available at all or on terms acceptable to us. For much of the past four years,
we have depended on financing from our owners, and they are not obligated to
continue lending to us. In addition, the indenture governing our senior notes
restricts our ability to incur additional indebtedness for borrowed money, thus
making us more vulnerable in the event of a substantial downturn in general
economic conditions in Mexico. Moreover, our ability to satisfy our obligations
depends upon our future performance, which is subject to economic conditions in
Mexico and to financial, business and other factors, including factors beyond
our control, such as the willingness of our owners to contribute or support any
additional capital to finance cash flow deficiencies. For a discussion of the
amounts invested and loaned by our owners, see "Item 5: Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

THE IMPOSITION OF A 10% EXCISE TAX ON REVENUES FROM PAY TELEVISION SERVICES HAS
ADVERSELY AFFECTED AND COULD CONTINUE TO ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS,
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     At the end of December 2001, the Mexican Congress passed a series of tax
reforms. As a result of these tax reforms, subject to certain exceptions,
revenues from our pay television services are now subject to a 10% excise tax.
In February 2002, Cablevision, Innova, Skytel and a number of other companies in
the telecommunications and pay television industries filed amparo injunctive
proceedings challenging the constitutionality of this excise tax. Nonetheless,
we implemented rate increases on January 1, 2002 and took other actions
including lay-offs and reduction of capital expenditures and expenses in an
effort to mitigate, in part, the impact of this tax on our results of operations
and financial condition. We obtained a favorable ruling in this proceeding
regarding our 2002 liability for this tax, but this ruling does not entitle us
to recover any amounts paid for this tax in 2002, and we cannot assure you that
we will be able to recover any portion of the approximately US$18 million paid
for this excise tax during 2002.

     In December 2002 the Congress again acted to make this special tax
effective during fiscal year 2003, by adding or modifying some provisions
included in the original text of the law. The Congress does not need to ratify
this special tax every year, but modifications to the law could be made. In
response, we have filed a new amparo proceeding challenging the
constitutionality of the tax. We cannot assure you that we will obtain a
favorable resolution in these proceedings or that we will be able to recover the
amounts that have been or will be paid for this tax. See "Item 4: Information on
the Company -- Business Overview --Mexican Regulation of DTH
Services--Telecommunications Tax."

     We believe that the imposition of this tax and the resultant rate increases
could negatively affected our results of operations and financial condition as
well as our ability to attract and retain subscribers in 2002. So far this year,
we have not increased prices in response to the tax, but we will continue to
evaluate the impact of this tax on our results of operations and financial
condition and we will consider measures, including rate increases to mitigate
the impact of this tax. If, as a result of the imposition of the tax, we further
increase the rates we charge our customers, such rate increases could adversely
affect consumer demand for our services, which could result in loss of
subscribers and a decrease in revenues, and could adversely impact our ability
to attract new subscribers.

<PAGE>

WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN EXPANDING OR MAINTAINING OUR SUBSCRIBER BASE WHICH
WE MUST DO TO SERVICE OUR DEBT AND ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY

     Our ability to generate subscription revenue depends in particular, upon
subscribers' acceptance of our programming and consumer confidence and
purchasing power. Acceptance of our programming will, in turn, depend on the
availability of programming at a competitive cost, the popularity of such
programming, and our ability to reach our targeted market through successful
advertising campaigns.

     We lost broadcast rights to the World Cup soccer games in 2002 to DIRECTV
Latin America, a shareholder of our DTH competitor, and we believe this
negatively affected our ability to attract and retain subscribers. On March 18,
2003, DIRECTV filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 and
subsequently rejected its contract for the pay-TV exclusive rights to broadcast
for the 2006 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament to certain Latin American
countries. We cannot predict what effect this will have on our ability to
attract new subscribers or retain existing subscribers.

     Other factors beyond our control will affect the success of this operating
strategy and are impossible for us to predict due, in part, to the limited
history of DTH services in Mexico. The market for DTH services will continue to
be affected by the recession and comparatively weak recovery and by general
economic conditions in Mexico, as well as competition, new technology and
government taxation and regulation. Consequently, we believe there is a
significant degree of uncertainty about the DTH business in Mexico including the
size of the Mexican market for DTH television services, the sensitivity of
potential subscribers to changes in the price of installation and subscription
fees, the evolution of the competitive environment and government regulation.
For additional discussion of our competitive environment, see "--We face
competition in the pay television market in Mexico that we expect will
intensify" and "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business
Overview--Competition."

     We cannot assure you that we will successfully expand or maintain our
subscriber base or that it will generate sufficient revenues, when taken
together with other sources of financing, to service our indebtedness, including
our senior notes, and to fund our operations and achieve profitability.

WE MAY NOT SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS

     As our business continues to develop and expand, we will need to further
enhance operational and financial systems, and will likely require additional
employees and management, operational, financial and other resources. Though we
believe we have operated appropriately for over six years, we cannot assure you
that we will successfully enhance and maintain such operational and financial
systems or successfully obtain, integrate and utilize the required employees and
management, operational and financial resources to manage a developing and
expanding business in our dynamic and challenging industry. If we fail to
implement such systems successfully and use our resources effectively our
results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE BILLING AND ORDER MANAGEMENT TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS DEPENDS
ON THE FUNCTIONALITY AND FLEXIBILITY OF OUR SUBSCRIBER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH
IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED WITH A NEW SYSTEM FROM A NEW SUPPLIER

We are currently implementing a new Subscriber Management System, or SMS, to
support the growth of our subscriber base. We believe that the subscriber
management system is an essential tool for providing pay television services
because it provides us with marketing, customer service and administrative
operations support. We expect the new SMS will be placed in service and become
operational in late August 2003. If we fail to implement and utilize the new SMS
successfully, our results of operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected. See "Item 4. Information on the Company--History and
Development of the Company--Capital Expenditures;" "--Subscriber Management
System;" and "Item 10: Additional Information--Material Contracts--New
Subscriber Management System Contract."

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE PAY TELEVISION MARKET IN MEXICO

     The pay television industry in Mexico has been, and we expect it to remain,
highly competitive. We believe competition in the pay television business is
primarily based upon the quality of programming, customer service, enhanced TV
features, value-added services, distribution networks, advertising and
promotion, and price. We presently compete with, or expect to compete with,
among others:

         -    DIRECTV Mexico, another DTH service in Mexico;

         -    more than 400 cable systems, including Cablevision, the largest
              cable system in Mexico (which is majority owned and controlled by
              Grupo Televisa S.A., or Televisa an indirect majority owner of
              Innova);

         -    multi-channel, multi-point distribution systems, known as MMDS;

         -    national broadcast networks, including the four networks owned and
              operated by Televisa, and regional and local broadcast stations;

         -    unauthorized and pirated C-band and Ku-band television signals
              obtained by Mexican viewers on the gray market;

         -    unauthorized and pirated cable television signals; and

         -    radio, movie theaters, video rental stores, internet and other
              entertainment and leisure activities generally.

     Consolidation in the pay television industry, and the possible merger of
Mexico's second and third largest cable operators could further intensify
competitive pressures. Some of our competitors are, and entities resulting from
any mergers may be, better capitalized than we are or have greater operational
resources than we do. See "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business
Overview--Competition." As the pay television market in Mexico develops, we
expect to face competition from an increasing number of sources, including
emerging technologies that provide new services to pay television customers and
require us to make significant capital expenditures in new technologies.

     While we believe our programming package is competitive overall, our
subscribers must make an up-front investment to initiate our service and obtain,
install and activate the necessary equipment, and this up-front investment is
not required in all of our competitors' systems. While we believe our current
prices combined with the quality of our service, are attractive to subscribers,
we cannot assure you that we will continue to attract and maintain a substantial
number of subscribers. Intense competition and general economic factors have
driven us to lower our subscription fee several times and to offer special
promotions on several occasions.

ONE OF OUR OWNERS, NEWS CORPORATION, MAY ACQUIRE SIGNIFICANT INTERESTS IN
DIRECTV, OUR DTH COMPETITOR IN MEXICO, AND PANAMSAT, OUR SOLE SATELLITE
PROVIDER, AND WE CANNOT PREDICT WHAT EFFECT THIS WILL HAVE ON US

     On March 18, 2003, DIRECTV Latin America, LLC, or DLA, announced that it
had filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection, under chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.
DLA cited its debt burden and high fixed costs and listed liabilities of US$1.6
billion as of the end of 2002. DLA also reported a loss of 54,000 net
subscribers in the first quarter of 2003 or 7% of its subscriber base. DLA is a
competitor of ours which provides DTH programming and services in Mexico through
an affiliated Mexican operating company, DIRECTV Mexico. According to its 2002
annual report, Hughes Electronics Corporation, or Hughes, owns approximately 75%
of DLA and holds an indirect interest in DIRECTV Mexico. On April 9, 2003, News
Corporation announced that it reached a definitive agreement with General Motors
Corporation and Hughes in which News Corporation would acquire General Motors'
19.9% stake in Hughes and a further 14.1% of Hughes from public shareholders and
General Motors' pension and other benefit plans, for a total of 34% of Hughes.
If the agreement is consummated, a subsidiary of News Corporation will transfer
its ownership interest in

                                     - 9 -

<PAGE>

Hughes' common stock to Fox Entertainment Group, Inc., an 80.6% owned News
Corporation subsidiary. The businesses contained in Hughes include a leading
U.S. satellite broadcaster DIRECTV, which has more than 11 million subscribers;
an 81% equity holding in satellite operator PanAmSat; and Hughes Network
Systems, a provider of broadband satellite network solutions.

     This agreement is subject to a number of conditions including the receipt
of required regulatory approvals in the United States and elsewhere, and no
assurance can be given that this acquisition will be consummated, or, if
consummated, that it will occur on the terms announced on April 9, 2003.
Additionally, our Social Part Holders Agreement provides that neither Televisa
nor News Corporation may directly or indirectly operate or acquire an interest
in any business that operates a DTH satellite system in Mexico (subject to
certain limited exceptions). If News Corporation were to consummate the proposed
acquisition of an interest in Hughes while Hughes continued to own an interest
in DIRECTV, News Corporation would become an indirect owner of DIRECTV Mexico,
our DTH competitor. Accordingly, under our Social Part Holders Agreement any
such acquisition of an indirect interest in the Mexican operations of DLA would
require the consent of us and Televisa.

     We cannot predict what impact either the DLA bankruptcy or, if consummated,
News Corporation's acquisition of an interest in Hughes, will have on the
competitive environment for DTH in Mexico or on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. See "Item 4: Information on the Company --
Business Overview -- Competition."

     Increased competition could result in a loss of subscribers or pricing
pressure, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations.

OUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT SUBSCRIBERS DEPENDS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF DESIRABLE
PROGRAMMING FROM THIRD PARTY PROGRAMMERS

     We compete in part on the quality of our programming. Our ability to
attract and retain subscribers depends on our continued ability to obtain
desirable programming, particularly Spanish-language programming from Televisa
and others, soccer and special events, and to offer that programming to
customers at competitive prices. We obtain, and anticipate that we will continue
to obtain, significant programming on an exclusive DTH basis from Televisa and
News Corporation, each an indirect owner of the Company. DIRECTV has petitioned
the Mexican government to require Televisa to allow its programming material to
be transmitted through DIRECTV's DTH service in Mexico. If the Mexican
government requires Televisa to permit our DTH competitors to broadcast
Televisa's programming, over which we currently have exclusive DTH rights, we
may lose customers.

     We also depend on agreements with third parties to provide us with other
high quality programming for mass audiences. We directly negotiate with
programming providers including with our owners and other affiliates. We have
entered into definitive agreements with many programming providers, while other
providers supply programming under letters of intent, invoices or other less
formal arrangements. We have no reason to believe that any of our programming
agreements will be canceled or will not be renewed upon expiration, however, if
these arrangements are canceled or not renewed, we would have to seek
programming material from other sources. In early 2002 Television Azteca, S.A.
de C.V., or TV Azteca, demanded that we (and other pay television service
providers) pay a fee to carry its over-the-air channels. In June 2002, we
reached an agreement with TV Azteca to carry channels 7 and 13 for a period of
three years for a fee. Obtaining over-the-air programming from third party
providers could increase our costs. We cannot assure you that third-party
program services that appeal to our subscribers will be available to us on
acceptable terms, or, if available, that such program services will be
acceptable to our subscribers. See "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business
Overview--Programming and Services."

WE DEPEND ON OUR PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS FOR KEY EQUIPMENT

     Expansion of our Ku-band DTH service depends, in part, on our obtaining
adequate supplies of components, tailored for Ku-band transmissions from a
limited number of third parties. If our principal suppliers fail to provide
needed components on a timely basis, we may not be able to replace those
suppliers without delay or additional expense which we cannot assure you we will
be able to do. See "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business Overview
--Operations--Integrated Receiver/Decoder System."

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>

WE DEPEND ON THE AVAILABILITY OF SATELLITE TRANSPONDER SERVICES FROM PANAMSAT

     We currently receive DTH signal reception and retransmission services
solely from PanAmSat's PAS-9 satellite. We no longer use Satelites Mexicanos,
S.A. de C.V.'s, or SatMex's, Solidaridad 2 satellite for any retransmission of
our services. Our agreement with PanAmSat allows us to use the PAS-9 satellite's
services for the next 12 years or the date PAS-9 is taken out of service,
whichever happens first. The estimated remaining useful life of the PAS-9
satellite is projected to be approximately 14 to 16 years but PAS-9 could fail
before then. Further updates to the lifetime estimate may become available when
additional data is collected to characterize the satellite's actual on-orbit
performance.

     Given the orbital location and footprint of the PAS-9 satellite, however,
it is possible that some of our current and potential subscribers located in
parts of Mexico might not receive a high quality signal. Following the
termination of broadcasts from Solidaridad 2, we lost the ability to send
signals to approximately 13,000 subscribers despite efforts to re-orient all
subscribers' antennas to PAS-9 prior to the shutdown. See "Item 4: Information
on the Company--Business Overview--Operations--Satellites."

     Communications satellites such as PAS-9 use highly complex technology and
operate in the harsh environment of space. In general, these satellites are
subject to significant operational risks that may prevent or impair proper
commercial operations, including satellite manufacturing defects, power and
electrical failures, computer and controls failures, incorrect orbital
placement, and destruction and damage from collisions with orbital debris and
objects, interstellar radiation and other causes. Historically, approximately
15% of all commercial geosynchronous satellite launches have resulted in a total
or constructive total loss due to launch failure, failure to achieve proper
orbit or failure to operate upon reaching orbit. Future disruption of PAS-9 or
the transmissions from PAS-9 would prevent us from being able to operate our
business and would have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do not
carry insurance that would specifically cover any of our losses due to an
interruption in service from PAS-9, nor are we aware of any insurance that
PanAmSat carries on PAS-9 that would cover us for such loss. We do not currently
have any arrangement for alternate service from other satellites should we
experience an interruption of service on PAS-9, nor do we have plans to
re-orient our subscribers' antennas to alternate satellites in the event of an
interruption of service from PAS-9.

     We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain transponder services
from an alternate satellite or provider at a commercially viable cost, if we
lose the ability to receive signals from PAS-9. Furthermore, our ability to
transmit programming after the PAS-9 satellite is no longer available and to
broadcast additional channels depends on our ability to obtain rights to utilize
transponders on other newer satellites.

SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS ARISING FROM NATURAL DISASTERS, TECHNICAL PROBLEMS,
TERRORIST ACTIVITIES OR WAR, MAY CAUSE CUSTOMER CANCELLATIONS OR OTHERWISE HARM
OUR BUSINESS

     Currently, most of our business and technical operations are centrally
located or concentrated in a few geographical areas. The occurrence of natural
disasters, technical problems, terrorist activities or war could result in the
loss of customers which would adversely affect our business, revenue and results
of operations. We do not currently have a disaster recovery plan to mitigate the
effects of such an occurrence on our business. We continue to review and
evaluate the steps we might take, including creating a disaster recovery plan to
prepare to respond to natural disasters, technical emergencies, terrorist
attacks and war.

THE OPERATION OF OUR BUSINESS MAY BE TERMINATED OR INTERRUPTED IF THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT DOES NOT RENEW OR REVOKES OUR CONCESSIONS

     The operation of satellite broadcasting systems is subject to substantial
regulation by the Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes, or SCT. The SCT
has granted us two concessions to operate satellite broadcasting systems using
Mexican satellite until 2026 and a concession to broadcast using services from
PAS-9 until 2020. Currently, we only depend on the latter. The concessions can
be renewed with the SCT's approval and can be revoked prior to the end of their
terms if we do not comply with their terms and conditions. In addition, the
Mexican government has the right to expropriate the concessions for reasons of
public need or interest. We cannot assure you that the SCT will renew the
concessions on expiration or not expropriate or revoke them prior to expiration.
The SCT's rules may change in response to industry developments, new technology
and political considerations. Without our concessions, we would not be able to
deliver our services or operate our business. See

<PAGE>

"Item 4: Information on the Company--Business Overview --Mexican Regulation of
DTH Services-Our Concessions."

WE COULD LOSE SUBSCRIBERS AND REVENUE IF OTHERS ARE ABLE TO STEAL OUR SIGNALS

     We use encryption technology to prevent signal theft or `piracy.' Piracy in
the C-band DTH, cable television and Latin American and European DTH industries
has been widely reported. We are aware of reports of signal theft in Mexico
although we cannot accurately measure the amount of the theft. We use Smart Card
technology in our Ku-band receivers so we can change the conditional access
system in the event of a security breach. During 2001, we exchanged our
subscribers' Smart Cards as a routine security measure to reduce the risk of
piracy. We expect to continue to exchange subscribers' Smart Cards every three
to four years or when we have strong evidence of signal theft. We expect the
protections in our conditional access system, subscriber management system, and
the Smart Card technology to adequately prevent unauthorized access to
programming. In late 2002 we initiated several actions against piracy of our
signals in Mexico, with the support of Mexican government agencies. We cannot
assure you that the encryption technology we use will effectively prevent
security breaches and signal piracy, or that our efforts against pirates will be
successful. If our encryption technology is materially compromised in a manner
that we fail to correct promptly, our revenues could decrease and our ability to
contract for programming could be adversely affected.

     In addition, we believe that the pirating of cable television signals in
several cities and small towns across Mexico presents a major challenge to the
pay-TV market in Mexico. Although we cannot estimate the number of households
that receive cable television via pirated signals in Mexico, we believe the
number is significant. The pirating of pay-TV signals of all types reduces the
number of potential subscribers available to us and, if unchecked, could affect
our ability to attract and retain subscribers.

CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY COULD RENDER OUR SERVICE OBSOLETE OR INCREASE OUR COSTS

     Historically, pay television services industry as a whole has been, and
will likely continue to be, subject to rapid and significant changes in
technology such as digital compression technology or high definition video.

     Digital compression technology allows transmission of multiple channels on
the same frequency, and could allow the industry to field lower cost delivery
systems. We use digital compression technology in our Ku-band DTH business.
Other transmission media, including cable and MMDS, are also developing this
technology. If our competitors deploy lower cost, digitally-compressed systems,
we may not be able to provide the same volume of programming at a competitive
price and could lose subscriber revenue. New asynchronous digital subscriber
line, or ADSL, technology is being used to provide high-speed internet access
and could be used in the future for broadband transmissions.

     These and other technological changes could impact us and we may need to
expend substantial financial resources to develop and implement new competitive
technologies. In addition, we may, from time to time, explore alternative
technologies to deliver our programming and alternative methods to allow our
subscribers to receive signals from multiple satellites.

WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH OUR OWNERS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN RELATED
BUSINESSES WHICH CREATES THE POTENTIAL FOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

     Innova currently engages in, and expects from time to time to engage in,
transactions with Televisa, News Corporation, Liberty Media International Inc.,
or Liberty Media (each an indirect owner of Innova), and their subsidiaries and
other affiliates. These transactions present potential conflicts of interest.
Currently:

         -    We obtain significant programming content from our owners and
              their programming affiliates. Televisa and News Corporation offer
              us all of their existing program services (i.e., channels) and
              must offer us their future program services pursuant to our Social
              Part Holders Agreement. We have the exclusive DTH broadcast rights
              to Televisa and News Corporation's programming channels in Mexico,
              subject to certain, preexisting, third party agreements. Televisa,
              News Corporation and their programming affiliates, however,
              provide and will continue to provide programming to other, non-DTH
              pay television businesses, such as cable and MMDS operators, which
              compete with us.

                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>

         -    We obtain our conditional access and subscriber management systems
              and most components of our broadcast system from NDS Group plc, a
              British public company and News Corporation subsidiary.

         -    We obtain play-out and uplink functions and related services from
              DTH TechCo Partners, or DTH TechCo., a joint venture in which each
              of Televisa, News Corporation and Globo Comunicacoes e
              Participacoes Ltda., or Globopar, indirectly holds a 30% interest
              and Liberty Media indirectly holds a 10% interest. In addition, we
              obtain from Televisa similar services relating to locally-sourced
              programming.

     The programming and systems we obtain from affiliates are critical to our
business. If some or all of our contracts with these parties were terminated, we
cannot assure you that we could obtain comparable programming and services from
unaffiliated third parties on similar terms. Disputes concerning these contracts
could have a material adverse effect on our business.

     We currently receive satellite transmission and distribution services
exclusively from 12 Ku-band transponders on the PAS-9 satellite owned and
operated by PanAmSat, which is 81% owned by Hughes. If News Corporation acquires
34% of Hughes, then News Corporation would indirectly own a significant interest
in PanAmSat, our sole satellite services provider.

     In addition, as described above, we expect to continue to enter into many
transactions with our affiliates, which may create the potential for conflicts
of interest. We have not established specific procedures applicable to
transactions with affiliates to guard against conflicts of interest.

IF OUR AFFILIATE DTH TECHCO IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN FUNDING, IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE A NECESSARY SERVICE FOR OUR OPERATIONS, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     We depend on DTH TechCo for uplink, downlink and related services relating
to all of our programming other than local programming, as to which uplink and
downlink services are provided by Televisa. DTH TechCo also provides these
services to Sky Multi-Country Partners, or MCOP (a U.S. partnership in which
Televisa, News Corporation and Globopar each indirectly holds a 30% interest,
while Liberty Media indirectly holds a 10% interest), and Sky Brasil Servicos
Ltda., or Sky Brasil (a DTH service owned indirectly by Globopar, News
Corporation and Liberty Media). DTH TechCo depends on payments from us, MCOP and
Sky Brasil to fund its operations. In October 2002, Globopar announced that it
would reevaluate its capital structure due to significant devaluation of the
Real, deteriorating economic conditions in Brazil and significant reduction in
credit available to Brazilian companies. Globopar and certain of its
subsidiaries are rescheduling their financial debt obligations and currently
reviewing their business plans together with holders of Globopar's bank debt and
bonds. As a result of Globopar's financial condition, since September 2002,
Globopar has ceased providing financial support to DTH TechCo and MCOP, and
MCOP, in turn, has ceased making payments to DTH TechCo, which payments, we
believe, previously accounted for over 50% of DTH TechCo's revenue. As a result,
Televisa, News Corporation and Liberty Media have begun funding DTH TechCo's
operating cash shortfall through loans and we understand that they currently
intend to continue doing so. However, our owners are not obligated to provide
funding to DTH TechCo and we cannot assure you that continued funding will be
available. If (i) Globopar fails to make its contributions to DTH TechCo and
MCOP, (ii) MCOP fails to make required payments to DTH TechCo or (iii) Sky
Brasil fails to continue making its required payments to DTH TechCo, and if DTH
TechCo's owners fail to make up the shortfall, then DTH TechCo would be unable
to provide services to us. We have not currently identified possible replacement
services providers and, if DTH TechCo were unable to provide services to us, we
would be unable to provide a substantial portion of our programming services to
our customers, which would materially and adversely affect our business.

OUR EQUITY HOLDERS HAVE, OR MAY ACQUIRE, INTERESTS IN BUSINESSES WHICH COMPETE
WITH US FOR CUSTOMERS AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

     Televisa, indirectly, owns approximately 60% of Innova's total voting
power, subject to certain provisions of our bylaws and the Social Part Holders
Agreement. For more information on these provisions, see "Item 7: Major
Shareholders and Related Party Transactions--Major Shareholders."

     Televisa has agreed not to engage in the DTH business in Mexico except
through Innova. However, Televisa competes with Innova for customers in the
Mexican pay television market since it controls and owns a majority

                                     - 13 -

<PAGE>

interest in Cablevision, the operator of Mexico's largest cable television
system. See "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business
Overview--Competition--Cable Television and MMDS." Innova intends to compete in
all markets it serves regardless of whether Televisa, or an entity in which
Televisa has an interest, competes in those markets. However, Cablevision could
attract potential or existing subscribers from us given its significantly
greater capital and operational resources and familiarity with our business
strategy and customer information as a result of Televisa's majority interest.
Televisa could also commit greater resources to Cablevision or its other
subsidiaries and affiliates than to Innova, giving those competitors a financial
advantage.

     News Corporation, through its subsidiaries, indirectly holds approximately
30% of Innova's total voting power, subject to certain provisions of our bylaws
and the Social Part Holders Agreement. News Corporation has also agreed not to
engage in the DTH business in Mexico except through Innova. On April 9, 2003,
News Corporation announced that it reached a definitive agreement with General
Motors Corporation and Hughes in which News Corporation would acquire General
Motors' 19.9% stake in Hughes and a further 14.1% of Hughes from public
shareholders and General Motors' pension and other benefit plans, for a total of
34% of Hughes. For a description of this proposed transaction and some possible
implications of the transaction, if it is consummated, see "--We Face Intense
Competition in the Pay Television Market in Mexico;" "--One of Our Owners, News
Corporation, May Acquire Significant Interests in DIRECTV, Our DTH Competitor in
Mexico, and PanAmSat, Our Sole Satellite Provider, and We Cannot Predict What
Effect This Will Have On Us" and "Item 4: Information on the Company -- Business
Overview -- Competition."

     We cannot predict what impact either the DLA bankruptcy or, if consummated,
News Corporation's acquisition of an interest in Hughes, will have on the pay
television market in Mexico.

CERTAIN PARTIES COULD FORCE US TO DISSOLVE THE BUSINESS

     According to our bylaws, we must be dissolved and placed in liquidation if
a person deemed an "interested party" so requests upon the occurrence of any of
the following events:

         -    if all but one of our members withdraws;

         -    if our term of corporate existence expires and it is not extended;

         -    if we cannot continue to fulfill our corporate purpose;

         -    by resolution taken at a members' meeting; or

         -    the loss of two-thirds of our capital, unless the capital is
              increased by the required amount.

     Our Mexican legal counsel, Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., has
advised us that, although there is no court precedent, it believes that Mexican
courts would restrict the recognition of "interested parties" to: (a) the
members of Innova, some of whom currently compete with us or may compete with us
in the future, and (b) our creditors that provide evidence of their interest in
dissolving Innova and liquidating our assets. We cannot assure you that a court
would permit dissolution only upon request from the parties mentioned above or
that upon occurrence of the events described above another party would not seek
to dissolve us.

U.S. INVESTORS MAY RECEIVE LESS CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE FROM US THAN
U.S. PUBLIC COMPANIES

     A principal objective of the securities laws of the United States, Mexico
and other countries is to promote full and fair disclosure of all material
corporate information. As a foreign private issuer, we are generally not
required to provide as much publicly available information as is regularly
published by or about U.S. companies that have securities listed in the United
States.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST US OR OUR DIRECTORS,
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CONTROLLING PERSONS

     We are organized under the laws of Mexico. Most of our directors, executive
officers and controlling persons reside outside of the United States, all or a
significant portion of the assets of our directors, executive officers and
controlling persons, and substantially all of our assets, are located outside of
the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of
process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against

                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>

them or us in U.S. courts judgments predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. We have been
advised by our Mexican counsel, Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., that
there is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Mexican courts,
of liabilities predicated solely on U.S. federal securities laws and as to the
enforceability in Mexican courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities
laws.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

                     HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

     Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V. is a Mexican limited liability company with
variable capital or sociedad de responsabilidad limitada de capital variable
Innova was formed on July 25, 1996 as a Mexican limited liability company or
sociedad de responsabilidad limitada and converted to a limited liability
company with variable capital on July 2, 1998 under Mexico's Ley General de
Sociedades Mercantiles (General Law of Mercantile Organizations). The company
was registered with the Public Registry of Commerce in Mexico City under the
commercial File (folio mercantile) No. 213223. Under the terms of our estatutos
sociales, or bylaws, our corporate existence continues for 99 years through 2095
unless terminated earlier. Our principal address is Insurgentes Sur 694, Piso 8,
Colonia del Valle, 03100 Mexico D.F. in the United Mexican States. Our telephone
number at that address is (52-55)-5448-4000. The trustee for our senior notes is
The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, NY 10286, and can be
contacted by requesting the Corporate Trust Department at (212) 815-3290.

     We provide digital Ku-band direct-to-home or DTH broadcast satellite pay
television services in Mexico under the name "Sky." DTH satellite systems use
medium or high-powered satellites to deliver signals to satellite antennas
installed at homes, hotels and apartment buildings. In contrast to the
locally-transmitted signals of multi-channel, multi-point distribution systems,
known as MMDS, a DTH satellite footprint can cover large land areas. DTH
satellite transmission can also reach land areas with either weak cable
infrastructure or no cable television access, such as the mountainous, rural
areas of Mexico. We believe that DTH satellite service is one of the most
cost-effective ways to distribute programming. We launched our DTH service on
December 15, 1996 and as of March 31, 2003 we were broadcasting up to 168
digital channels (107 video, 29 pay per view and 32 audio) to approximately
779,700 subscribers, including approximately 41,400 non-residential subscribers.
See "Item 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Operating Results
-- Overview;" and "--Trend Information."

     Innova was formed as a result of strategic alliances between four entities:
Televisa, News Corporation, Liberty Media and Globopar, the largest television
broadcaster and media group in Brazil. Innova is one of several Sky DTH
platforms created by the partners and is a joint venture indirectly owned by
Televisa, News Corporation and Liberty Media. The other Sky DTH platforms
provide service to Brazil and other regions in Latin America while additional
joint ventures provide specific support services to the Sky DTH platforms. Sky
Brasil Servicos Ltda., or Sky Brasil, a DTH service owned indirectly by
Globopar, News Corporation and Liberty Media, launched its digital Ku-band DTH
service in Brazil in November 1996. Prior to 2003, it was known as Net Sat
Servicos Ltda. In October 1997, the four partners formed Sky Multi-Country
Partners, or MCOP, a U.S. partnership in which Televisa, News Corporation and
Globopar each indirectly holds a 30% interest while Liberty Media indirectly
holds a 10% interest. MCOP invests in, and supplies programming and other
services to the Sky DTH platforms in Latin America outside of Mexico and Brazil,
including Sky Colombia and Sky Chile.

     Each of the four partners also holds indirect interests, individually, in
the same proportion as their interests in MCOP, in two service entities: (i) Sky
Latin America Partners, or ServiceCo, a U.S. partnership formed to provide
certain business and management services; and (ii) DTH TechCo Partners, or
TechCo, a U.S. partnership formed to provide certain technical services from a
main uplink facility in Miami Lakes, Florida and a redundancy site in Port St.
Lucie, Florida. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related
to Our Business--We Have Significant Transactions With Our Owners Who Are
Involved in Related Businesses Which Creates the Potential for Conflicts of
Interest" and "--If Our Affiliate DTH TechCo is Unable to Obtain Funding, It May
Not Be Able to Provide a Necessary Service for our Operations, Which Could
Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations."



     Between December 1998 and March 2003, Innova's three owners contributed
US$49.0 million in equity and loaned a total of US$309.9 million to us and our
subsidiary, Novavision, in proportion to their equity interests in Innova. Prior
to these contributions and loans, Televisa and News Corporation contributed
US$50 million in capital and debt forgiveness to us. In April 1998, we received
an additional aggregate amount of US$50 million in equity from our sponsors. For
a more detailed discussion of these transactions, see "Item 7: Major
Shareholders and Related Party Transactions." We also completed an offering for
US$375 million of our 12 7/8% senior notes, or senior notes, in exchange for our
privately placed 12 7/8% senior notes both of which were issued in 1997. We used
the net proceeds from the offering of our senior notes primarily to finance
start-up operations. For a more detailed discussion of this transaction, see,
"Item 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

STRONG SPONSORSHIP

     Innova is owned indirectly by Televisa (60%), News Corporation (30%) and
Liberty Media (10%). We believe that the experience, expertise and resources of
our owners in the entertainment and media industries increases our access to
programming, technology and distribution services and helps us compete in the
Mexican Ku-band DTH satellite pay television market.

     Televisa is the largest television broadcaster in Mexico. We believe that
Televisa produces and owns the largest library of Spanish-language television
programming in the world. Televisa owns and operates four television networks in
Mexico including Televisa's flagship Channel 2 network known as "The Channel of
the Stars." Channel 2 is the leading television network in Mexico and the
leading Spanish-language television network in the world in terms of the
potential worldwide audience that can receive its signal. In addition to its
Mexican television production and broadcasting activities, Televisa has
interests in international television programming distribution, publishing,
radio production and broadcasting, cable television, internet services,
professional sports promotion, nationwide paging, feature film production and
distribution, special events promotion and dubbing.

     News Corporation is a diversified international media and entertainment
company which operates in a number of industry segments including filmed
entertainment television cable network programming, magazines and inserts,
newspaper and book publishing . The activities of News Corporation are conducted
principally in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Asia, Australia and
the Pacific Basin.

     Liberty Media owns and operates broadband cable television and telephony
distribution networks and provides diversified programming services in Europe,
Latin America and Asia. Liberty Media is a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty
Media Corporation. Until August 10, 2001, Liberty Media Corporation was a wholly
owned indirect subsidiary of AT&T Corporation. On August 10, 2001 AT&T
Corporation spun-off Liberty Media Corporation, which is now an independent,
publicly-traded company.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     The table below sets forth our capital expenditures for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and for the five months ended May 31, 2003. See

</TABLE>

     The principal items included under capital expenditures during 2000, 2001
and 2002 and capital expenditures through May 31, 2003 were Integrated
Receiver/Decoder systems, or IRDs, transmission equipment, computers and
software and, more recently, our new subscriber management system, or SMS. These
capital expenditures are directly related to the growth of the DTH platform and
an increasing number of subscribers.

     In 2000, 2001 and 2002, we relied on a combination of operating revenues
and borrowings to fund our capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments.
We expect to fund our capital expenditures for the rest of 2003 through a
combination of cash from operations and, if needed, loans from our owners. The
amount of such borrowings in 2003, if any, will depend upon the timing of
revenues and expenditures. In that connection, our owners have

                                     - 17 -

<PAGE>

informally committed to lend us up to an aggregate of US$25.0 million during
2003 in proportion to each partner's respective equity interests in Innova. See
"Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions." We currently intend
to finance any significant investments or acquisitions through a combination of
available cash from operations and long-term debt from our owners.

     We are currently implementing a new Subscriber Management System, or SMS,
to support the growth of our subscriber base. We believe this new SMS will allow
us to provide more effective management and billing services to our subscribers.
Among other things, we believe the new SMS will:

         -    give us greater flexibility to control different variables that
              are part of our service than our current SMS,

         -    improve our ability to respond to our subscribers' account
              management needs and aid them in reporting on their service,

         -    provide greater billing flexibility,

         -    improve overall system efficiency; and

         -    offer more options for marketing our services.

     This project includes the purchase of software, licenses, hardware,
implementation and advisory services and related personnel costs. As an initial
step, on June 12, 2002, we entered into two related agreements with CSG
Software, Inc., or CSG, through our subsidiary, Novavision. Under these
agreements CSG provides us: (a) a non-exclusive, perpetual license for the use
of the software "Kenan" to provide billing and order management to licensed
subscribers, (b) installation and implementation of the system within the
framework of our business, (c) training and support services, and (d) consulting
services. We are working with Siebel Systems, Inc. to develop and support
certain software applications and advisory services and with NDS Group plc (a
British public company and New Coporation subsidiary), or NDS, to complete the
requirements of the new system.

     We are now using a subscriber management system called Provider II that we
obtained from NDS. NDS will continue to support Provider II until we complete
the switch-over to the new SMS. We expect the new SMS to be operational and
placed in service in late August 2003. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk
Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our Business-- Our Ability to Provide Billing
and Order Management to Our Subscribers Depends on the Functionality and
Flexibility of Our Subscriber Management System, Which is Currently Being
Replaced with a New System from a New Supplier;" "Item 4: Information on the
Company--Business Overview--Capital Expenditures;" "--Subscriber Management
System;" and "Item 10: Additional Information-Material Contracts-New Subscriber
Management System Contract."

     We have made significant investments in hardware and software to manage
growth of our DTH platform and to enhance customer service. These include our
current and new subscriber management systems, a customer relations management
system and an integrated voice response system. We believe that our principal
capital investments will continue to be IRDs, antennas and LNBs, transmission
equipment and the hardware and software required to manage the growth of our DTH
platform.

     Antennas and low noise blocks, or LNBs were not part of capital
expenditures before October 1, 2000 because prior to that date, our master
wholesalers purchased that equipment to resell directly to subscribers. Because
we now retain ownership of these assets, they are recorded in our property,
plant and equipment and amortized over a period of three years. Prior to this
change, we sold the LNBs, antennas and accessories to master wholesalers and
included the costs of these items in cost of sales upon our sale of the
equipment to our distributors. In general, we own IRDs and rent them to
subscribers for a monthly IRD rental fee.

                               BUSINESS OVERVIEW

TELEVISION MARKET IN MEXICO

     We believe that Mexico is the second largest television market in Latin
America after Brazil with approximately 19.6 million television households as of
December 31, 2002. The television industry in Mexico has expanded from broadcast
television to pay television, including cable, MMDS, and DTH satellite services.
Watching television is a significant leisure activity in Mexico. The average
television household in Mexico watches more than seven hours of television
daily, according to figures from the IBOPE, the Instituto Brasilero de Opinion
Publica y Estadistica.

     We estimate that, as of December 31, 2002, 3.6 million households in
Mexico, excluding households receiving unauthorized Ku-band and C-band services,
received pay television services. These households represented approximately
18.4% of the Mexican television market as of that date. In addition, we estimate
that approximately 2.4 million of these 3.6 million households subscribe to
cable television, while approximately 0.2 million households subscribe to MMDS,
and approximately 1.0 million households subscribe to DTH. In the past we had
estimated that there were some 1.0 million households that received C-band DTH
satellite signals on the gray market, however we believe this number may be
decreasing due to technological advances that make receiving and decoding
unauthorized DTH signals more costly and difficult. Additional households
receive unauthorized, gray market Ku-band DTH satellite signals from the United
States, while still others receive pirated DTH signals from within Mexico. We
believe that piracy of cable television signals, in cities and small towns
across Mexico, presents a major challenge to the pay-TV market in Mexico. We
cannot estimate the number of households that receive pirated cable television
signals in Mexico, but we believe the number is significant.

     We believe that our potential subscriber base principally consists of
households with an annual household income of at least Ps. 202,945 and
commercial establishments such as hotels, restaurants and bars. We estimate
that, as of December 31, 2002, Mexico had approximately 4.5 to 5.0 million
households with annual income of at least Ps. 202,945, representing
approximately 23% to 25.5% of the country's total television households. Of
these households, we believe that 3.5 million to 4.0 million could receive DTH
service.

BROADCAST TELEVISION INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

     The television industry in Mexico began in the early 1950s when the Mexican
Government granted licenses for the operation of three television channels in
Mexico City. The first three channels, Channels 2, 4 and 5, were all indirectly
owned by Televisa. The Mexican Government has since granted licenses for six
additional channels in Mexico City and numerous other licenses for channels
elsewhere in Mexico. The metropolitan area of Mexico City has a population of
approximately 23.0 million people, representing nearly 22% of Mexico's total
population. As a result, the television stations broadcasting in Mexico City
have historically dominated the industry and have acted as anchors for stations
located outside of Mexico City by providing these stations with all or a portion
of their programming.

     Currently, there are nine commercial television stations operating in
Mexico City (besides channel 52 from MVS, the leading MMDS operator in Mexico,
and private channels 28 and 34) and approximately 462 other television stations
elsewhere in Mexico. Most stations outside Mexico City re-transmit programming
originating on one of the Mexico City stations. Televisa owns and operates four
television stations in Mexico City, Channels 2, 4, 5, and 9, which collectively
are affiliated with 221 other repeater stations and 32 local stations outside of
Mexico City. In addition, Televisa operates an English-language television
station on the Mexico-California border. Televisa's channels are also carried on
87 "complementary" stations, which facilitate the transmission of signals
throughout Televisa's concession areas. The Mexican Government currently
operates two stations in Mexico City, Channel 11 (with 5 repeaters) and Channel
22, and repeater stations outside Mexico City. Television Azteca owns VHF
Channels 7 and 13 in Mexico City, which are affiliated with 87 and 89 stations,
respectively, outside of Mexico City. TV Azteca and Televisora del Valle de
Mexico, or Televisora, which operates CNI Channel 40 are partners in an
arrangement where, until recently, TV Azteca rendered promotion, broadcast and
commercialization services for channel 40. Recently, however, due to several
conflicts and litigation between TV Azteca and Televisora, CNI Channel 40 has
been operating as an independent television station pending final resolution of
the litigation. There are 19 independent stations outside of Mexico City, which
are unaffiliated.

PAY TELEVISION INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

     CABLE TELEVISION

     Cable television offers multiple channels of entertainment, news and
informational programming to subscribers who pay a monthly fee based upon the
package of channels they receive. Cable subscribers in Mexico generally pay

                                     - 19 -

<PAGE>

a monthly subscription fee equal to Ps. 245 for a basic package (calculated as a
weighted average) and as much as Ps. 579 for premium and digital packages. These
prices do not take into account promotions cable operators may offer from time
to time. According to Mexico's cable television trade organization, Camara
Nacional de la Industria de Television por Cable or CANITEC, there were
approximately 414 cable networks operating in Mexico as of December 31, 2002.
Under Mexican law, all licenses to provide cable television services in a
specific service area are non-exclusive licenses.

     More than 53 groups operate cable systems in Mexico. Cablevision, Mexico's
largest cable system operator, holds a franchise for Mexico City and the
surrounding areas and had over 412,000 household subscribers as of December 31,
2002. Televisa owns 51% of Cablevision following an offering that took place in
April 2002. Currently, Cablevision is the only major cable television operator
that also offers high speed Internet access through cable modems in Mexico City.
Cablevision is also the only provider of digital cable television services in
Mexico. Cablevision offers basic and premium packages to its subscribers, as
well as a news channels package and adult oriented channels that are available
"a la carte."

     Megacable is the second largest cable operator in Mexico with approximately
317,000 subscribers as of December 31, 2002. It serves the Pacific coast,
Jalisco, Puebla and the Veracruz area. It is followed by Grupo Cablemas with
approximately 299,000 household subscribers as of December 31, 2002 located in
several regions in the country, including Veracruz, the Yucatan, Campeche and
Chiapas peninsular region, central Mexico, Tijuana, Mexicali, Chihuahua, Juarez,
Baja California and other cities on the United States-Mexico border. Press
reports indicated during 2002 that Grupo Cablemas and Megacable were negotiating
a potential merger of the two groups, but these negotiations were suspended.
However, if negotiations are revived and a merger is successfully completed and
approved by regulatory authorities, the new group would become the largest cable
operator in Mexico, as measured by the number of subscribers and geographic
coverage. It could become our largest competitor and, as a result, we believe
competition would intensify if the merged group invests significant capital to
upgrade infrastructure and enhance programming content.

     We believe that rural areas provide a market for our DTH satellite
services. Many rural areas of Mexico either have a weak cable infrastructure or
cannot be accessed by cable television. The mountainous Mexican landscape
impedes cable wiring of the country. Due to the competitive business
environment, cable providers find the significant cost of upgrading existing or
establishing new cable infrastructure to be economically infeasible in many
cases.

     We estimate that the metropolitan Mexico City area alone contains
approximately 25% of the households with television sets in the country. We
estimate that approximately 9.0% of households with a television set in the
metropolitan Mexico City area already receive cable television from Cablevision.
While recent, comparable data for all of Mexico is not available, we believe
that the percentage of homes that own television sets and receive cable service
is generally higher in metropolitan Mexico City than in other areas of Mexico
(excluding the U.S.-Mexican border). We have based our estimates on information
obtained from the directory published by CANITEC.

     MMDS OR WIRELESS CABLE

     MMDS, commonly called wireless cable, uses a microwave transmission system,
operating from a head-end, similar to the head-end of a cable system. The
head-end receives programming, generally via a satellite antenna. Microwave
transmitters then send this programming, via an antenna located on a tower or on
top of a building, to a small, receiving antenna at a subscriber's premises. At
the subscriber's location, microwave signals are converted to frequencies that
pass through a conventional coaxial cable into a decoder located near a
television. Sometimes signals are sent directly from the antenna converter to
the television set. MMDS requires a clear line-of-sight because microwave
signals will not pass through obstructions, unless mechanisms are used to
retransmit signals around obstructions such as hills and tall buildings.

     MMDS offers cost advantages over traditional hard-wire cable technology
because it does not require the construction and maintenance of a fiber or
coaxial cable network. MMDS is being used in other emerging pay television
markets where cable does not have a strong established position. Subscription
services introduced MMDS technology in Mexico in 1989, initially targeting the
largest urban areas of the country. Generally, MMDS subscribers receive, upon
payment of an installation fee, an antenna and decoder and must thereafter pay a
monthly programming fee for any programming package or "a la carte" channels
they select. The principal advantage of MMDS systems is their accessibility in
portions of metropolitan areas where cable for television services has not yet

                                     - 20 -

<PAGE>

been installed. However, the frequency band allocated to MMDS transmission
accommodates a maximum of approximately 32 analog television channels.

     We estimate that, of the approximately 19.6 million television households
in Mexico as of December 31, 2002, less than 260,000 of them subscribed to MMDS.
At least thirteen companies currently operate MMDS systems in Mexico. MVS
Multivision, S.A. de C.V., or Multivision, is the leading MMDS operator in
Mexico and provides MMDS services in the Mexico City area and 22 other cities
across the country. MMDS systems do not rebroadcast the main over-the-air
channels.

     DIRECT-TO-HOME OR DTH

     DTH systems use medium or high-power satellites to deliver signals to
satellite antennas at homes, hotels, restaurants and apartment buildings and
other locations. In contrast to MMDS signals, which are locally transmitted, a
DTH satellite footprint can cover large land areas. DTH systems in Mexico have
the following advantages:

         -    the capital investment, although initially high for the satellite
              and uplink segment of a DTH system, is fixed and does not increase
              with the number of subscribers receiving satellite transmissions;

         -    the licenses granted by the Mexican Government cover the entire
              country; and

         -    the capital costs for the ground segment of a DTH system, the
              reception equipment, are directly related to, and limited by, the
              number of service subscribers.

     The disadvantages of DTH systems in Mexico as compared to other forms of
television delivery presently include:

         -    the limited ability to tailor programming packages to the
              interests of different geographic markets, such as providing local
              news;

         -    the fact that signal reception is subject to line-of-sight
              requirements, though generally less stringent than those typical
              of MMDS systems;

         -    intermittent interference from atmospheric conditions and
              terrestrially generated radio frequency noise; and

         -    the possibility that the Mexican regulatory environment may change
              in an adverse manner in response to industry developments, new
              technology or political considerations.

     Gray Market C-Band and Ku-band DTH. The Mexican Government does not
authorize services utilizing C-band DTH technology. However, we believe there
were some 1.0 million households receiving C-band DTH signals on the gray market
although this number may be decreasing due to technological advances that make
it more difficult and costly to receive unauthorized DTH signals. We cannot
estimate the number of channels that C-band DTH customers receive. Some
households also receive unauthorized Ku-band DTH signals from the United States
on the gray market, while still others receive pirated DTH signals from within
Mexico. We cannot estimate the number of these households.

     Ku-Band DTH. Ku-band DTH satellite pay television services became available
for the first time in Mexico in late 1996. The Ku-band DTH service's higher
power allows subscribers to receive programming with low cost antennas as small
as 60 centimeters to 1.2 meters in diameter. Our subscribers receive
transmissions from the more powerful Ku-band PAS-9 which requires antennas no
larger than 80-centimeters in diameter. This small antenna size compares
favorably with the 1.8 to 5.0 meter antennas typically used for C-band
reception. We believe that Ku-band DTH technology currently provides the most
cost efficient, national, point-to-multi-point transmission of video, audio, and
data services. Our Ku-band service uses digital compression technology that in
comparison to analog technology provides increased channel capacity per
transponder and improved audio and video quality. Our digital compression
technology currently permits the broadcast of up to 10 to 12 video channels of
programming per Ku-band transponder. Nine of our 12 transponders use this
technology. We have invested in compression technology that allows us to
increase the number of channels and services we offer without increasing
satellite costs.

                                     - 21 -

<PAGE>

This compression technology allows us to increase our capacity to up to 15 to 18
video channels per transponder, but currently we only have this technology for
three of our 12 transponders. Technological developments have also enabled us to
start offering a variety of auxiliary services, including the "Sky Interactive"
services introduced in late 2000.

PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES

     RATES AND FEES

     In general, we currently charge our residential subscribers:

         -    a one-time fee for subscription, installation and activation equal
              to approximately Ps. 1,099 (discounted to Ps. 99 if the subscriber
              agrees to pay monthly programming fees via automatic charge to a
              credit card);

         -    a monthly programming fee ranging from Ps. 174 to Ps. 611,
              depending on the programming package the subscriber chooses and
              whether the subscriber pays within 12 days of the billing date;

         -    a monthly rental fee of Ps. 138 (Ps. 125 if the subscriber pays
              within 12 days of the billing date) for rental of the IRD, LNB,
              Smart Card, remote control and related components; and

         -    an annual membership fee of Ps. 268.

We also offer promotions intended to attract subscribers from other pay TV
systems, for free subscription, installation or activation.

         These rates and fees do not generally apply to our non-residential, or
commercial, subscribers, whose rate packages and arrangements are negotiated on
a case-by-case basis. Our commercial subscribers consist primarily of hotels
(where each room capable of receiving our service is counted as a separate
subscriber), restaurants and bars. While we negotiate rates with our commercial
subscribers on a case-by-case basis, these rates are substantially lower than
our residential rates. As a result, our commercial subscribers have a
substantially lower average revenue as compared to residential subscribers and
we believe that the revenue we receive from commercial subscribers is immaterial
to our results of operations.

     PROGRAMMING PACKAGES

     On October 14, 2002, we re-launched our programming packages by reducing
the number of packages offered to five (from 14), simplifying choices to the
subscriber. As part of this strategy, we distributed 20 channels that were
previously available as "a la carte" channels among the five packages. We now
offer only six adult-oriented channels on an "a la carte" basis. The
descriptions of our rate packages set forth below do not apply to our commercial
subscribers.

     As of May 31, 2003, we offered subscribers the choice of five programming
packages: Sky Basic (60 video channels, 32 audio channels and 29 pay-per-view);
Sky Fun (78 video channels, 32 audio channels and 29 pay-per-view); Sky Movie
City (91 video channels, 32 audio channels and 29 pay-per-view); Sky HBO
(similar to Sky Movie City but with different movie channels including a total
of 91 video channels, 32 audio channels and 29 pay-per-view) and Sky Universe
(107 video channels, 32 audio channels and 29 pay-per-view).

     From time to time, we offer special promotions targeted at particular local
areas in response to local competitive conditions.

     PAY-PER-VIEW AND SPECIAL EVENTS

     We launched our pay-per-view services in 1997 and currently offer 29
pay-per-view channels. We devote 24 of these channels to family entertainment
and movies and five channels to adult entertainment. We set aside five extra
channels exclusively for special events, known as Sky Events, which include
boxing matches, concerts, sports and movies. We provide some Sky Events at no
additional cost while we sell others on a pay-per-view basis.

     SKY INTERACTIVE

     Sky Interactive allows subscribers to watch different content on the same
channel and to select the content they prefer to display on the full screen. As
part of our regular service we offer four channels with interactive features:
Interactive News, Interactive Financial News, Interactive Sports and Interactive
Kids. Some events are broadcasted using these features to show camera angles for
auto races, reality shows and certain soccer matches, as well as to watch
instant replays of sporting events. We expect further technology will be
developed and become available to allow us to offer customers the use of an HTML
or Java browser to run certain applications to enhance the viewer's experience.
We believe this technology may also enable us to offer more value-added services
in the future, such as T-commerce (television-commerce), games and information
services, including news.

     PROGRAMMING ACQUISITION

     We currently negotiate directly for programming with international
suppliers from the United States, Europe and Latin America and have the option
to negotiate through an affiliate that also services the other SKY platforms. We
have entered into definitive agreements with many programming providers, while
other providers supply programming under letters of intent, invoices or other
less formal arrangements. Our suppliers include, but are not limited to: DMS
Media Services LLC (which offers Warner, Sony, E! entertainment, A&E Mundo, the
History Channel, AXN, Fox Kids, HBO and Cinemax), LAPTV (Movie City and
Cinecanal), Turner Broadcasting System Latin America, Inc. (TNT, CNN and Cartoon
Network), Discovery Networks, Fox Latin America Channels Inc. (National
Geographic, Canal Fox, Fox Sports, Fox News and Speed), Pramer (Film & Arts,
Gourmet, Private Gold, Private Blue, Magic Kids, Europa Europa and
Cosmopolitan), MTV Networks (MTV and Nickelodeon), Claxon (Playboy, Locomotion,
Fashion TV and Infinito) and Bloomberg LP. We regularly negotiate new agreements
with our programming suppliers. We also have arrangements with the following
studios to show films on an as needed basis: Dreamworks, Warner Bros.
International, 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios International, Walt Disney

                                     - 23 -

Pictures, MGM, Paramount Pictures, CPT Holdings Inc (Sony), PWI Films, Inc.,
Baywood Enterprises, Nuvision and Independent Studios.

     Televisa and News Corporation provide us with significant programming
content, some of which we distribute on an exclusive DTH basis in Mexico. We
have the exclusive right to distribute, via DTH in Mexico, all program services
or channels over which Televisa and News Corporation have control, subject in
each case to certain pre-existing third party agreements. Televisa and News
Corporation guarantee our access to the same program services or channels made
available to cable and MMDS systems in Mexico. We may access these services and
channels at a price not to exceed that extended to cable or MMDS systems.
Televisa's right to grant us an exclusive license was recently challenged by
DIRECTV. See "Item 3 - Key Information Risk Factors - Risk Factors Related to
Our Business-Our Ability to Attract Subscribers Depends on the Availability of
Desirable Programming from Third Party Programmers."

     Televisa also provides us with a variety of signals that include domestic
and foreign programs. Among these programs are: musical programs, situation
comedies, stand-up comedy shows, game shows, children's programs, talk and
variety shows, movies, sports, special cultural events and musicals. We have
exclusive DTH broadcast rights in Mexico to Canal Fox, which is one of the
leading general entertainment pay television channels in Mexico and Latin
America, along with Fox News, a 24-hour news channel in English and Fox Sports
Argentina.

     We have agreed to reserve a portion of our available video channels for
program services owned by our sponsors. Televisa has the right to require us to
carry its program services on 10% of the total number of available video
channels. In addition, News Corporation has the right to require us to carry its
program services on 6 2/3% of the total available channels. Liberty Media has
the right to require us to carry its program services on 4% of the available
channels.

     In June 2002, we entered into an agreement with TV Azteca to begin paying
them for the rights to rebroadcast their over-the-air Channels 7 and 13. We have
also committed to purchase up to US$10.6 million in advertising from TV Azteca
over the three years from the date of the agreement and have received rights to
broadcast certain soccer matches. Prior to May 1, 2002, we were permitted to
rebroadcast these channels at no cost. For more information, see "Item 3 - Key
Information Risk Factors - Risk Factors Related to Our Business--Our Ability to
Attract Subscribers Depends on the Availability of Desirable Programming from
Third Party Programmers" and "Item 5: Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects--Trend Information."

     During 2002 we entered into an agreement with Televisa to contribute funds
for the production of, and to obtain the exclusive pay-TV transmission rights
to, the reality shows Big Brother VIP and Operacion Triunfo, which were produced
by Endemol Mexico, S.A. de C.V. See "Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related
Party Transactions-Related Party Transactions- Programming Arrangements with
Related Parties." We have no other current plans to develop or produce our own
programming, except for Mosaic, the promotional channel featuring our
programming services.

DISTRIBUTION, SALES AND MARKETING

     In October 2000, we formed our own sales force in order to complement our
existing distribution network, increase market penetration in Mexico's main
cities, improve the quality of our subscriber base and reduce the acquisition
cost of new subscribers. We have established direct sales forces in Mexico City
in 2000; in Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Tijuana, Culiacan and Leon in 2001;
in Queretaro, Merida, Acapulco, Hermosillo and La Paz in 2002; and Torreon in
2003, in order to strengthen our market penetration and direct distribution
network in those cities as well.

     As of May 31, 2003 we sold and distributed our services through a network
of 12 wholesalers and 14 direct sales offices that control over 3,600 points of
sale. These locations include leading malls, department stores, popular
retailers, supermarkets and consumer electronics outlets. We offer commissions
to our wholesalers, who, in turn, pay commissions to their retailers and
distributors. Our direct sales force employees are also paid by commission, in
addition to their salary and benefits. We also have control over some direct
distributors, who receive commissions but are not employees.

     We believe our subscription fee and programming prices are competitive with
those offered by other pay television platforms. Our entry-level product is the
Sky Kit, which includes a satellite antenna, low noise block or

                                     - 24 -

<PAGE>

LNB, as well as installation and activation, the right to rent an IRD, and to
use a Smart Card, remote control and related components. From the second quarter
of 1997 through September 30, 2000, we sold Sky Kits exclusively through our
wholesale distribution network. Since October 1, 2000, however, we have retained
ownership over the antenna and LNB and the subscriber initiation fee now covers
installation and activation. We rent the IRD and Smart Card to our subscribers,
and provide them with the remote control and related components free of charge.
Our first 130,000 subscribers received their IRDs, Smart Card, and remote
controls on a bailment basis. However, since February 23, 1998, substantially
all of our subscribers (residential and commercial) rent their IRDs under an
indefinite term rental plan. We chose to retain ownership of the Sky Kit
equipment, including the antenna, Smart Card and LNB, rather than selling them
to our distributors, in order to facilitate repossession of the equipment if a
subscriber terminates service or defaults on its obligations. This change has
had no material impact on the revenues we receive from our distribution network.

     We focus on promoting our superior programming content, customer service
and system quality, rather than the number of channels we offer. Our programming
includes Spanish-language over-the-air channels, exclusive soccer games, special
events, reality shows and other sports and entertainment programming. Our
marketing strategy includes advertising through national and regional
television, radio, newspapers, magazines, billboards, direct mail, internet,
movie and airport advertising, sponsorship of special events (such as boxing
matches, golf and soccer tournaments) and promotional activities at restaurants,
bars, cultural and other social events. For a more detailed discussion of our
program offerings and packages, see "--Programming and Services," below.

     Intense competition and general market conditions have driven us to lower
our monthly subscription fee and to offer special discounts and promotions on
several occasions. In the last three years, we have maintained a special
promotion aimed at children known as Sky Kids using remote controls designed
especially for children. We also have targeted soccer fans by offering certain
pay-TV exclusive soccer matches. In 2002 we broadcasted 40 of the soccer matches
for which Televisa had the exclusive broadcast rights, as well as 22 of the
soccer matches for which TV Azteca had exclusive broadcast rights. We reward
long-term subscribers with a loyalty program known as Sky Value offered without
cost which includes prizes, trips, programming and special events, such as
concerts and sporting events.

     We monitor our nationwide installation service through a centralized
operations office. This enables us to monitor the quality of service being
provided to our customers. After obtaining the Sky Kit equipment, the installer
or the subscriber contacts our call center to activate the Ku-band DTH service.
Activation typically occurs within minutes of the call.

     We provide customer service to our subscribers through our own, specialized
telephone call center, staffed by approximately 760 people who answer general
questions and provide basic information as well as personalized service to solve
more complex customer problems. Some of our customer service personnel also
carry out subscriber retention and collection activities over the phone.

     In June 2001, we purchased from Merkatel, our former call center service
provider, the equipment Merkatel used to provide call center services to us,
including computers, telephones, furniture, and fixtures along with other
software, training materials and significant transition support for a total of
Ps. 24.2 million plus value-added tax, or VAT. We also hired the telephone
operators involved in operating the call center. Merkatel is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Televisa and provided call center services to us from our
inception through June 30, 2001. Starting July 1, 2001, the call center
functions have been provided in-house. We have improved the efficiency of the
call center operations using our infrastructure in our existing customer service
center, including our interactive voice response, predictive dialer and customer
relationship management systems.

     We engage a third party to publish and distribute SKY VIEW, our monthly
magazine detailing all of the channels and program listings available on SKY.
SKY VIEW includes weekend programming, a guide to movies, general interest
articles about actors, actresses, entertainment, sports, life style, culture,
games, quizzes and general information about SKY packages, enhanced TV features
and promotions. SKY VIEW is one of the most important magazines in Mexico, as
measured by the number of published copies with a monthly production of
approximately 300,000 units. Since January 2001, we have used our own
advertising sales force, supported by Grupo Medios, to sell advertising in the
SKY VIEW magazine. We offer a variety of advertising sales packages and volume
discounts to match customers' needs.

                                     - 25 -

<PAGE>

     We sell advertising on our broadcasts to corporate and other clients and
advertising agencies. We use both our own advertising sales force and the
services of a wholly owned subsidiary of Televisa to promote and sell
advertising time.

OPERATIONS

     Our digital video, audio and data signals are encoded, processed,
compressed, encrypted, multiplexed (i.e., combined with other channels),
modulated (i.e., applied to the designated carrier frequencies for transmission
to the satellite) and transmitted through our Ku-band DTH service, from uplink
facilities in Mexico and the United States. Geosynchronous satellite
transponders receive, convert and amplify the signals and retransmit them to the
earth in a manner that allows individual subscribers to receive and be billed
for the particular program services to which they have subscribed.

     UPLINK FACILITIES AND PLAY-OUT FACILITIES

     We use play-out equipment to prepare the programming material for
compression and subsequent transmission to the satellite. The play-out equipment
digitizes the programming for channels provided by third party programmers,
inserts commercial or promotional material where appropriate, monitors the
quality of the picture and sound, and delivers the material to the compression
and multiplexing system. In the case of channels originating from taped
material, the play-out equipment also compiles the various programming segments
and inserts commercial and promotional material where necessary. For near
video-on-demand movies, the play-out equipment stores movies and plays them out
as appropriate to provide the desired frequency of service.

     We use uplink and play-out facilities in Mexico City, Mexico and in Miami
Lakes, Florida and Port St. Lucie, Florida. We own the uplink and play-out
equipment located in Mexico City, which is housed in facilities owned by
Televisa. Televisa operates the equipment to provide us with uplink services. In
addition, TechCo provides us with uplink services at its facilities in Florida.
All of the uplink facilities we use have full emergency power generation
equipment to allow uplinks to continue operations without any disruption of
service in the event of a power failure. We also use the TechCo facilities to
handle programming delivered from outside Latin America.

     SATELLITES

     We currently receive satellite signal reception and retransmission services
from 12 Ku-band transponders on PanAmSat's PAS-9 satellite under an agreement
executed with PanAmSat on February 8, 1999. PAS-9 was launched on July 28, 2000
and became operational on September 8, 2000.

     The term of the PAS-9 agreement ends on the earlier of: (a) September, 2015
or (b) the date PAS-9 is taken out of service. We pay a monthly service fee of
US$1.7 million for service from all 12 transponders. Televisa, News Corporation
and Liberty Media have guaranteed our payments to PanAmSat in proportion to
their respective beneficial interests in us. PAS-9 was manufactured by Hughes
and is operated by PanAmSat Corporation, which is 81% owned by Hughes. On April
9, 2003 News Corporation announced that it reached a definitive agreement to
acquire a 34% interest in Hughes. Hughes holds an indirect interest in PanAmSat
and DIRECTV Mexico, our DTH competitor. We do not yet know the possible
implications of this event for our satellite operations. The remaining useful
life of PAS-9 is expected to be approximately 14 to 16 years.

     PAS-9 is located at 58.0(degree) West longitude, and we believe its
footprint covers virtually all of Mexico's television households as well as
other areas in the Caribbean basin and portions of the United States and Central
America. However, we believe that in a few instances some of our potential
subscriber base may experience some signal degradation as a result of their
particular location and PAS-9's orbital location. Each transponder is capable of
handling analog channels or multiple digital channels. Service from PAS-9 is not
subject to pre-emption except in limited instances with respect to spare
transponder capacity. We do not currently have contingency arrangements in case
we lose satellite service from PAS-9, nor are we insured against such an event.
See "Item 3. Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our
Business--We Depend on the Availability of Satellite Transponder Services from
PanAmSat."

     We had previously entered into an agreement with SatMex on April 1, 1999 to
allow us to use 12 Ku-Band transponders on Solidaridad 2 for signal reception
and retransmission. The agreement expired on December 31, 2001 but was extended
to March 31, 2002 to avoid interrupting service to those subscribers whose
antennas had not

                                     - 26 -

<PAGE>

been re-pointed to the new satellite, PAS-9. Extending the service agreement
enabled us to re-point the antennas of approximately 30,000 additional
subscribers to the new PAS-9 satellite without interrupting their service. We
paid SatMex a monthly service fee of US$1.752 million for satellite signal
reception and retransmission service from 12 transponders on Solidaridad 2
through December 31, 2001, and a flat fee of US$1.5 million for the use of up to
eight transponders from January 1, 2002 through April 3, 2002. The process of
migrating customers from Solidaridad 2 to PAS-9 started in November 2000 and
ended in March 2002. The shutdown of this process and the termination service
from the Solidaridad 2 satellite caused us to lose approximately 13,000
subscribers. Re-pointing costs were approximately US$35 million.

     We had also previously agreed to use services from 12 transponders on
PanAmSat's PAS-5 satellite for service fees of at least US$1.5 million per
transponder per year plus additional fees based on average gross subscriber
revenues. PAS-5 was launched in August 1997 and became operational in October
1997. However, signals from the transponders on PAS-5 experienced terrestrial
interference in Mexico and the PAS-5 satellite batteries failed. As a result, we
never used the services on PAS-5 and we terminated the PAS-5 agreement and
replaced it with the PAS-9 agreement. We made total payments of US$23.4 million
for the availability of PAS-5, but we received a credit against the first
US$11.7 million of service fees otherwise payable under the PAS-9 agreement. We
do not owe any further payments for PAS-5.

     Our DTH concessions granted by the Mexican Government currently authorize
us to offer DTH services using Mexican satellites, including current and future
satellites operated by SatMex, as well as PanAmSat's PAS-9, which is considered
a foreign satellite under Mexican law. For a more detailed discussion of our
concessions, see "--Mexican Regulation of DTH Services--Concessions; Revocation;
Expropriation."

     INTEGRATED RECEIVER/DECODER SYSTEM

     Depending on a subscriber's location within the country, a subscriber may
use a 60-centimeter, 75-centimeter, or 80-centimeter satellite receiver antenna
to receive our signal. Our subscribers currently pay the same initial fee for
installation and activation, regardless of the size of the satellite receiver
antenna they require.

     The IRD we currently rent to subscribers provides the interface between the
reception equipment and the subscriber's video and audio equipment. In addition,
connection to external data processing or data storage equipment is enabled via
the provision of a serial data output port in the IRD. An internal modem in the
IRD allows the on-line report-back or call-back of the subscriber's impulse
pay-per-view records to the subscriber management system.

     Authorizing information for subscription programming and the access control
algorithm are stored on a microchip imbedded in a credit card-size Smart Card.
The Smart Card, which can be updated or replaced periodically, provides a simple
and effective method to authorize and de-authorize subscription programming. A
Smart Card enables the IRD to descramble the program only when the subscriber is
entitled to view the program. If the Smart Card assigned to a particular IRD is
authorized for a particular channel, the data is decrypted and passed on for
audio and video decompression. After decompression, the digital audio and
digital video signals are reconstructed into analog format for display on a
standard television set. During the fourth quarter of 2001 we completed the
process of replacing our subscribers' Smart Cards as a regular security measure
intended to reduce the risk of piracy.

     The IRDs have been designed to be easy to use. Subscribers can quickly and
easily access desired programming, using a remote control device via an
on-screen electronic program guide. Our subscribers have access to a channel
guide, five promotional mosaic channels and an icon-driven menu system. Our
customers also have access to their account statement on-screen.

     In 2002, we purchased IRDs from two manufacturers: (1) Pace Microtechnology
plc, a U.K. manufacturer which assembles IRDs for the Mexican market in Puebla,
Mexico; and (2) Motorola, Inc which operates a manufacturing plant in Sonora,
Mexico. At least two other suppliers, affiliates of Philips Consumer Electronics
Corporation N,V. and Thomson Commercial Electronics, also manufacture IRD
equipment that is compatible with our system.

     During 2002 and 2003, we continued to purchase the set-top box type "World
Box2", from Motorola to provide our Sky Interactive service. The box and service
allow subscribers to choose camera angles for soccer matches,

                                     - 27 -

<PAGE>

watch instant replays and obtain statistics about favorite teams and players. We
expect further technology will be developed and become available to allow us to
offer customers the use of an HTML or Java browser to run applications to
enhance the viewer's experience. We believe this technology may also enable us
to offer more value-added services in the future, such as T-commerce
(television-commerce), games and information services including news, weather,
and events.

     We rent the IRD, and provide the remote control and Smart Card, to
subscribers but retain title over them to help facilitate repossession of the
equipment if a subscriber terminates service or defaults on its obligations.

     BROADCAST AND CONDITIONAL ACCESS SYSTEMS

     Digital technology permits the compression and transmission of digital
signals to facilitate multiple channel transmission through the bandwidth used
by a single channel, giving broadcasters the ability to offer significantly more
channels than analog systems. NDS Group plc, or NDS, a majority owned subsidiary
of News Corporation, previously provided the necessary equipment to digitize,
compress, encrypt and multiplex the signals transmitted to the satellite by
Innova's uplink facilities. Digitized signals are compressed using the MPEG-2
standard, encrypted and multiplexed into a Digital Video Broadcasting transport
stream of the DVB standard and modulated for transmission to the satellite
transponders we use. Currently, these technologies are provided by Tandberg
Television, a third party Norwegian company, which provides open solutions for
the digital broadcasting of audio, data and video, and has operations in Asia,
Australia, Europe and the USA.

     NDS provides our conditional access system, including the Smart Cards
necessary to decode the signal at the subscriber's home, and certain other
security services related to the Smart Card. NDS provides conditional access
services to other DTH providers including British Sky Broadcasting plc in the
United Kingdom, DIRECTV in the United States, Sky Italia Sp.A.(previously,
STREAM) in Italy, MATAV in Israel and STAR in Asia. The basic purpose of the
conditional access system is to ensure that each program can be viewed only by
those subscribers who have paid for that program. Accordingly, the conditional
access system is central to the security network that prevents unauthorized
viewing of programming. Our Ku-band receiver employs Smart Card technology,
making it possible to change and enhance the conditional access algorithm in the
event of a security breach. We believe that our ability to take electronic
countermeasures and to replace the Smart Cards when necessary provides an
effective means to combat sustained piracy.

     We and NDS are parties to a System Implementation and License Agreement
dated September 20, 1996, pursuant to which NDS designed, developed and
implemented our conditional access and broadcast systems. In exchange, we
purchased certain equipment, and license the proprietary information and rights
necessary to operate NDS's conditional access and broadcast systems. From time
to time we may explore alternative technologies for delivering our programming.

     During 2001, we replaced all the Smart Cards that were used by our
subscribers with new ones that include new technology and enhanced security as a
part of our continuous efforts to improve security against piracy. This measure
cost approximately Ps. 33 million.

     SUBSCRIBER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

     We currently provide subscriber management, billing and remittance services
for our own subscribers. Once a subscriber orders programming from us, we
transmit an authorization code to the subscriber's IRD and Smart Card,
permitting the subscriber to receive programming within moments of placing the
order. The subscriber management system runs the billing process for monthly
charges over-the-air via the IRD in most cases. We accept bill payment by cash
or check through a bank deposit or by credit or debit card.

     We believe that our subscriber management system, or SMS, is essential to
providing pay television services because it provides us with marketing,
customer service and administrative operations support. These elements include:
billing and collection of subscription fees; handling service difficulties and
other inquiries; handling disconnection, alteration, reconnection and relocation
of services; and marketing of additional services. The subscriber management
system also maintains records for each receiver and Smart Card, to maintain
security and prevent piracy. In the past, we have used an SMS that we obtained
from NDS under a Subscriber Management System Implementation and License
Agreement, dated October 29, 1996. Under that agreement, NDS designed, developed
and implemented our current subscriber management system. We entered into a
second License

                                     - 28 -

<PAGE>

Agreement with NDS, dated August 3, 1998, for the design, development and
implementation of our current SMS called Provider II

     We are currently implementing a new Subscriber Management System, or SMS,
to support the growth of our subscriber base. We believe this new SMS will allow
us to provide more effective management and billing services to our subscribers.
Among other things, we believe the new SMS will:

         -    give us greater flexibility to control different variables that
              are part of our service than does our current SMS,

         -    improve our ability to respond to our subscribers' account
              management needs and aid them in reporting on their service,

         -    provide greater billing flexibility,

         -    improve overall system efficiency, and

         -    offer options for marketing our services.

     This project includes the purchase of software, licenses, hardware,
implementation and advisory services as well as the incurring of personnel
costs. As an initial step, on June 12, 2002, we entered into two related
agreements with CSG through our operating subsidiary, Corporacion Novavision, S.
de R.L. de C.V., or Novavision. Under these agreements CSG provides us: (a) a
non-exclusive, perpetual license for the use of the software "Kenan" to provide
billing and order management to licensed subscribers, (b) installation and
implementation of the system within the framework of our business, (c) training
and support services and, (d) consulting services. CSG is an enterprise with
more than 20 years of customer care and billing expertise, providing its
services in more than 265 companies in more than 40 countries. We also requested
the development and support of certain software applications and advisory
services from Siebel and NDS to complete the requirements of the new system.

     NDS will continue to support Provider II until we complete the switch-over
to the new SMS. Once the new SMS implemented by CSG is placed in service, our
current agreements with NDS related to maintenance of Provider II will be
terminated. We expect the new SMS will be operational and placed in service in
late August 2003. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors
Related to Our Business-- Our Ability to Provide Billing and Order Management to
Our Subscribers Depends on the Functionality and Flexibility of Our Subscriber
Management System, Which is Currently Being Replaced with a New System from a
New Supplier;" "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business Overview--Capital
Expenditures;" "--Subscriber Management System;" and "Item 10: Additional
Information-Material Contracts-New Subscriber Management System Contract."

     TRADEMARKS

     The Sky trademarks are trademarks of British Sky Broadcasting Limited, in
which News Corporation has an approximate 35.4% interest, and are licensed to us
on a perpetual, exclusive basis, for a nominal fee, pursuant to an agreement
between a subsidiary of News Corporation and us. There are numerous trademarks
in the process of being registered in Mexico, some of which involve the Sky
name, which are used in the ordinary course of business but are not material to
our results of operations.

COMPETITION

     GENERAL

     Our business competes with providers of pay television services using
cable, MMDS, and Ku-band DTH transmission technologies. We also compete with
gray market and pirated DTH signals from the United States and from within
Mexico. We believe that competition is primarily based upon programming,
customer service, distribution network, advertising and promotion and price. We
cannot assure you that, based on its potential size, the Mexican pay television
industry will be able to sustain a number of competing pay television providers.
We also

                                     - 29 -

<PAGE>

compete with national broadcast networks and regional and local broadcast
stations, movie theaters, video rental stores, radio stations, and other
entertainment and leisure activities generally.

     We believe we successfully compete by offering superior programming
content, including a number of exclusive channels with proven market appeal, and
high-quality service based on optimal technology throughout Mexico. We also
believe that we have a number of competitive advantages. We currently broadcast
168 digital channels (107 video, 32 audio and 29 pay-per-view), including
Channel 2, the most popular broadcast channel in Mexico, which in the past has
not been available in all areas outside of Mexico City. We also offer local
programming as well as several specialized channels targeted to particular
communities, including RAI (Italian), TV5 (French), DeutscheWelle (German),
Galicia TV (Spanish), and NHK (Japanese).

     Our digital Ku-band DTH satellite technology offers larger coverage,
greater channel selection, and enhanced video and audio quality as compared to
existing terrestrial broadcast, cable, and MMDS television services. We believe
that our competitors' existing and potential alternative technologies will not
materially adversely affect the viability or competitiveness of our service
package in the foreseeable future. For example, new ADSL technology is being
used to provide high-speed internet access and could be used in the future for
broadband transmissions, but this technology is currently more expensive than
other alternatives and we do not believe that providers have shown significant
interest in it, other than for internet services. However, these and other
technological changes could impact us, and, depending on the technological
developments, we may need to expend substantial financial resources to develop
and implement new competitive technologies.

     Our service is supported by an extensive distribution network, a
comprehensive marketing campaign and a well-trained customer service group. We
believe that the collective experience and expertise of Televisa, News
Corporation and Liberty Media in the media and entertainment industries helps us
to compete successfully in the Ku-band DTH market and increases our access to
programming, technology and distribution services. Televisa's extensive network
of open over-the-air television, pay television, radio stations, and
publications provides us with significant cross-promotional opportunities.

     CABLE TELEVISION AND MMDS

     We expect to continue to encounter a number of challenges in competing with
cable television providers. For example:

         -    cable television providers benefit from their established position
              in the domestic consumer marketplace;

         -    cable subscribers generally face lower up-front costs than DTH
              subscribers, who must pay initial start-up fees, including
              installation of relevant equipment and activation of service;

         -    households that subscribe to our programming may pay higher
              monthly charges than they would pay for cable service because of
              the greater number of channels and greater variety of programming
              offered; and

         -    several cable operators, including Cablevision, have already, or
              are in the process of upgrading, their plant and facilities to the
              digital technology that will allow them to offer digital set-top
              boxes with new value-added services, including Internet access.

     We believe our programming content has proven market appeal, in comparison
to our competitors. We distinguish our service from other existing pay
television operators in Mexico by offering more channel capacity than
conventional over-the-air television, cable, or MMDS, and providing exclusive
programming and specially-produced channels. Televisa grants us four
over-the-air broadcast channels as part of the exclusive Mexican DTH program
rights described above. These channels are among the most popular television
channels in Mexico. We are the only DTH service offering all the over-the-air
broadcast signals from Mexico City, as well as signals from the State of Mexico,
Guadalajara, Mexicali, Monterrey, Puebla and Tijuana.

     While we do not compete directly with over-the-air broadcast channels for
pay TV subscribers, we do emphasize our exclusive DTH rights to broadcast some
of Televisa's over-the-air channels and their programming. These channels do
compete in terms of programming with other over-the-air channels, such as those
broadcast by

                                     - 30 -

<PAGE>

TV Azteca. The group of private investors that controls TV Azteca, led by Mr.
Ricardo Salinas Pliego, also owns several media outlets: a local television
station in Chihuahua; a movie distribution business, including a chain of movie
theatres, a movie studio, a record company, an Internet shopping site, a
high-speed Internet access company, a cellular phone company, chain stores, a
financial services company and a TV network focused on the Hispanic audience in
the United States, which currently reaches 53% of the Hispanic audience
according to press reports. TV Azteca also has an ownership interest in an El
Salvadorian television station, and a music company, and it owns a Mexican
soccer team. Prior to 2002, we were able to re-broadcast TV Azteca's
over-the-air channels free of charge. In June 2002 we concluded a series of
agreements with TV Azteca giving us the right to re-broadcast channels 7 and 13
for a period of three years with an option for DTH-exclusive rights after 2004,
as well as access to certain soccer matches for which TV Azteca has broadcast
rights. If we do not renew this agreement, TV Azteca and its related interests
could provide this programming to others on an exclusive basis and it would then
be unavailable to us. While viewers in Mexico City have access to a number of
free-over-the-air channels, viewers in certain rural areas of Mexico have
limited access to free over-the-air channels and reduced picture quality.

     Televisa holds a controlling, majority interest in Cablevision, Mexico's
largest cable system, which competes directly with us for customers in the pay
television market in the Mexico City area. Cablevision offers a basic package
with 49 channels consisting of nine television channels broadcast in Mexico
City, 40 additional basic channels, four digital premium packages and 23
pay-per-view channels. Some of these channels compete directly with channels we
carry and our pay-per-view channels. For a more detailed discussion of the
impact of this relationship, see "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk
Factors Related to Our Business--Our Equity Holders Have, or May Acquire,
Interests in Which Compete with Us for Customers and Business Opportunities."
Furthermore Cablevision is a major cable television operator and high speed
Internet access provider (through cable modem) in Mexico City, as well as the
only provider of digital cable television services and television-based Internet
access services in Mexico. Its network consists principally of fiber optic and
coaxial cable and it is expanding and upgrading its existing cable network into
a broadband bi-directional network. Cablevision plans to deliver a broad range
of services including enhanced television and other interactive programming
services, near-video-on-demand services, video-on-demand services, e-commerce
applications and IP telephony services. Cablevision is currently rolling out
digital set top boxes to its subscriber base, allowing it to offer new pay
television, digital and interactive products and services, including video
navigators, electronic programming guides and television-based Internet access.

     Megacable is the second largest cable operator in Mexico with approximately
317,000 subscribers as of December 31, 2002. It serves the Pacific coast,
Jalisco, Puebla and the Veracruz area. It is followed by Grupo Cablemas with
approximately 299,000 household subscribers as of December 31, 2002 located in
several regions in the country, including Veracruz, the Yucatan, Campeche and
Chiapas peninsular region, central Mexico, Tijuana, Mexicali, Chihuahua, Juarez,
Baja California and other cities on the United States-Mexico border. Press
reports indicated during 2002 that Grupo Cablemas and Megacable were negotiating
a potential merger of the two groups, but these negotiations were suspended.
However, if negotiations are successfully completed and approved by regulatory
authorities, the new group would become the largest cable operator in Mexico, as
measured by the number of subscribers and geographic coverage. This group could
become our largest competitor and, as a result, we believe that competition
would intensify if the merged group invests significant amounts to upgrade
infrastructure and enhance programming content.

     Multivision, a MMDS operator in Mexico City, offers services in 22 other
cities such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, Leon, Merida, Villahermosa, Tijuana and
the main cities in the Pacific Coast. Multivision's customers currently can
receive up to 23 channels, but they do not have pay-per-view channels and they
do not broadcast conventional "over-the-air" channels. During 2002, Multivision
re-launched its programming packages, offering now only two packages, "MASTV"
and the premium package, including 15 or 23 channels respectively. Multivision's
subscribers currently pay an average initial one-time installation charge equal
to Ps. 299.0 and a monthly fee of Ps. 75 for 15 channels of its "MASTV"
programming package or Ps. 285.0 for 23 channels in the premium package, which
includes 8 channels of movies (Cinecanal, Movie City, Cinemax and HBO).
Conventional over-the-air channels are not broadcast through the MMDS system. We
believe that our programming content has proven market appeal in comparison to
our MMDS competitors. We distinguish our service from MMDS by offering nation
wide services, more channel capacity and providing exclusive programming and
specially produced channels. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk
Factors Related to Our Business--We Face Intense Competition in the Pay
Television Market in Mexico."

     C-BAND DTH

     Pay television services utilizing C-band DTH technology are not authorized
by the Mexican Government in Mexico. Accordingly, while there is a C-band market
in Mexico, there are no official statistics regarding the size of this market.
However, we have estimated in the past that there were some 1.0 million
households that received C-band DTH signals on the gray market. However, we
believe Ku-band DTH services will decrease the size of any C-band market in the
long term.

     KU-BAND DTH

Currently, only we and DIRECTV Mexico, the digital Ku-band DTH service
controlled, operated and managed by Grupo Galaxy Mexicana, S. de R.L. de C.V.
("Galaxy"), operate DTH satellite services in Mexico. Galaxy launched DIRECTV
Mexico in November 1996. Galaxy was originally a joint venture between Hughes
Communications, Inc. and three Latin American media companies, Venevision, owned
by the Organizacion Cisneros, Televisao Abril and Multivision. In 1999, Hughes
and Venevision bought Televisao Abril's stake in Galaxy. DIRECTV offered 133
channels (75 video, 32 audio, and 26 pay-per-view channels) as of May 31, 2003.
According to Hughes's 2002 annual report, DIRECTV Latin America, L.L.C., or DLA,
is owned by Hughes (approximately 75%), Darlene Investments L.L.C., an affiliate
of the Cisneros Group subsidiary (21%) and the Clarin Group of Argentina (under
4%). DLA provides DTH television and radio services in Mexico and has operations
in other countries in Latin America including Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela,
Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago. See
"Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our Business--We
Face Intense Competition in the Pay Television Market in Mexico."

     On March 18, 2003, DLA announced that it had filed a voluntary petition for
bankruptcy protection, under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware. DLA cited its debt burden and high
fixed costs and listed liabilities of US$1.6 billion as of the end of 2002. DLA
also reported a loss of 54,000 net subscribers in the first quarter of 2003 or
7% of its subscriber base. DLA is a competitor of ours that provides DTH
programming and services in Mexico through an affiliated Mexican operating
company, DIRECTV Mexico. According to its 2002 annual report, Hughes Electronics
Corporation, or Hughes, owns approximately 75% of DLA and also owns a
significant interest in the operating company DIRECTV Mexico. On April 9, 2003,
News Corporation announced that it reached a definitive agreement with General
Motors Corporation and Hughes in which a subsidiary of News Corporation would
acquire General Motors' 19.9% stake in Hughes and a further 14.1% of Hughes from
public shareholders and General Motors' pension and other benefit plans, for a
total of 34% of Hughes. If the agreement is consummated, a subsidiary of News
Corporation's will transfer its 34% ownership interest in Hughes' common stock
to Fox Entertainment Group, Inc., an 80.6% owned News Corporation subsidiary.
The businesses contained in Hughes include a leading U.S. satellite broadcaster
DIRECTV, which has more than 11 million subscribers; an 81% equity holding in
satellite operator PanAmSat; and Hughes Network Systems, a provider of broadband
satellite network solutions.

         This agreement is subject to a number of conditions including the
receipt of required regulatory approvals in the United States and elsewhere, and
no assurance can be given that this acquisition will be consummated, or, if
consummated, that it will occur on the terms announced on April 9, 2003.
Additionally, our Social Part Holders Agreement provides that neither Televisa
nor News Corporation may directly or indirectly operate or acquire an interest
in any business that operates a DTH satellite system in Mexico (subject to
certain limited exceptions). If News Corporation were to consummate the proposed
acquisition of an interest in Hughes while Hughes continued to own an interest
in DIRECTV, News Corporation would become an indirect owner of DIRECTV Mexico,
our DTH competitor. Accordingly, under our Social Part Holders Agreement any
such acquisition of an indirect interest in the Mexican operations of DLA would
require the consent of us and Televisa. We cannot predict what impact either the
DLA bankruptcy or, if consummated, News Corporation's acquisition of an interest
in Hughes, will have on the competitive environment for pay television in
Mexico. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our
Business--We face Intense Competition in the Pay Television Market in Mexico,"
and "--We Have Significant Transactions With Our Owners Who Are Involved in
Related Businesses Which Creates the Potential for Conflicts of Interest,"
"--One of Our Owners, News Corporation, May Acquire Significant Interests in
DIRECTV, Our DTH Competitor in Mexico, and PanAmSat, Our Sole Satellite
Provider, and We Cannot Predict What Effect This Will Have On Us" and "--Our
Equity Holders Have, or May Acquire, Interests in Other Pay Television
Operations in Mexico Which Compete with Us for Customers and Business
Opportunities."

     We believe that our programming content has proven market appeal, in
comparison to our competitors. Galaxy is our sole operating Ku-band DTH
competitor at this time. We distinguish our service from the DIRECTV service

                                     - 32 -

<PAGE>

offered by Galaxy by offering more channel capacity and providing exclusive
programming and specially produced channels. Televisa grants us four
over-the-air broadcast channels as part of the exclusive Mexican DTH program
rights. These channels are among the most popular television channels in Mexico.
We are the only DTH service offering all the over-the-air broadcast signals from
Mexico City, as well as signals from the State of Mexico, Guadalajara, Mexicali,
Monterrey, Puebla and Tijuana. Galaxy also has some exclusive DTH offerings.

     On April 21, 2003 a U.S. Bankruptcy Judge authorized DLA to reject its
agreement for exclusive rights, in several Latin American countries including
Mexico, to broadcast the 2006 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament. As a result, we
believe the programming disadvantage we faced in 2002, when DIRECTV Latin
America had the exclusive rights to the World Cup tournament, may be reduced. We
cannot predict what impact DLA's rejection of the FIFA world cup contract will
have on our ability to obtain the rights to broadcast the World Cup soccer
tournament in the future should we decide to pursue these rights.

     While Grupo Acir and PCTV have also received licenses to offer DTH services
in Mexico, and the Mexican Government may grant additional licenses for DTH
satellite operations in Mexico, our management is not aware of any group
preparing to launch DTH services in Mexico in competition with Sky and DIRECTV.

     We also compete with unauthorized Ku-band DTH signals from the United
States. In addition, we may face increased competition for DTH subscribers in
Mexico from U.S. DTH satellite providers authorized to provide service under a
treaty and protocol. The Agreement Between the United States and Mexico
Concerning the Transmission and Reception of Signals from Satellites for the
Provision of Satellite Services to Users in the United States and Mexico, signed
on April 28, 1996, created a framework that enables entities utilizing
U.S.-licensed satellite facilities to provide services in Mexico, and entities
utilizing Mexican-licensed satellites to provide services in the United States.
On November 8, 1996, pursuant to the U.S.-Mexico Satellite Agreement and the
North American Free Trade Agreement, the Protocol Concerning the Transmission
and Reception of Signals from Satellites for the Provision of Direct-To-Home
Satellite Services in the United States and Mexico was executed to facilitate
the provision of cross-border, direct-to-home satellite services. In the DTH
Protocol, the United States and Mexico each agreed to permit satellites licensed
by the other nation to be used to provide encrypted video or video/audio signals
for direct reception by subscribers to, from, and within its own territories,
subject to certain conditions.

MEXICAN REGULATION OF DTH SERVICES

     CONCESSIONS; REVOCATION; EXPROPRIATION

     In June 1995, a federal telecommunications law was enacted in Mexico (Ley
Federal de Telecomunicaciones), which regulates the telecommunications industry,
including concessions and permits granted in connection with the installation,
operation and exploitation of public and private telecommunications networks. In
order to install, operate or exploit a DTH broadcast satellite pay television
service in Mexico for which subscriber fees are charged (which is considered for
purposes of Mexican law a public telecommunications network), an applicant must
be an individual or entity deemed to be of Mexican nationality and must obtain a
concession from the SCT. Applications are submitted to the SCT, and after a
formal review process, a concession is granted to the applicant with an initial
term of up to 30 years, which may be renewed for terms of up to the length of
the initial term. Concessions are not exclusive and the SCT may grant other
concessions to third parties in the same geographical area or for the same type
of services. Any party rendering telecommunication services without a concession
from the SCT forfeits to the Mexican government all the goods, facilities and
equipment it may have used in providing such services.

     A concession may be revoked prior to its stated term in certain
circumstances, such as:

         -    failure to use the concession within 180 days after it was granted
              unless permitted by the SCT based on a justifiable cause;

         -    failure to comply with the obligations or conditions specified in
              the concession:

         -    unlawful assignment, transfer or encumbrance of the concession,
              any rights thereunder or assets used for the exploitation of the
              concession;

         -    failure to pay to the Mexican Government the required fees;

                                     - 33 -

<PAGE>

         -    interruption of service or operation of the general means of
              communication without authorization from the SCT, or interruption
              thereof without justifiable cause;

         -    change of the concessionaire's Mexican nationality; or

         -    performance of acts preventing other concessionaires or those with
              permission from the SCT from doing business.

     In addition, the Mexican Government has the right to expropriate the
concession for reasons of public need or interest. In such a case, compensation
must be paid to the concessionaire in an amount equal to the amount determined
by designated appraisers. Although the North American Free Trade Agreement, or
NAFTA, includes rules that aim to add certainty to the expropriation process and
specify that compensation shall be equivalent to the fair market value
immediately prior to the expropriation, NAFTA rules may not generally apply to
the expropriation of our concessions.

     CONSIDERATION PAYABLE TO SCT

     The Mexican statute does not mandate the payment of fees as consideration
for the granting of a concession. However, the SCT has the discretion to require
the concessionaire to pay fees to the SCT as part of a concession as specified
in our concessions. Such fees may be calculated based upon certain of the
concessionaire's revenues. See "--Our Concessions."

     RATES; CROSS-SUBSIDIES

     Under Mexican law, DTH concessionaires may freely set customer rates, but
are required to file such rates in advance with the Telecommunications Registry
maintained by the SCT. The statute prohibits concessionaires from discriminating
when setting rates. The concessionaires may not cross-subsidize their services
directly or through a subsidiary or affiliate. The SCT may impose upon a
concessionaire having substantial market power specific obligations related to
rates, quality of service and information.

     FOREIGN OWNERSHIP

     Under Mexican law, non-Mexican investors may currently own up to 49% of the
outstanding equity of DTH system concessionaires. Foreign investors may increase
their economic participation in the equity of a concessionaire through neutral
investment mechanisms under the Foreign Investment Law (e.g., non-voting
equity), provided that Mexican investors maintain control of the operation.

     TEMPORARY SEIZURE; PREEMPTIVE RIGHT OF GOVERNMENT TO PURCHASE ASSETS

     Under Mexican and other applicable laws, the Mexican Government may
temporarily seize all assets related to a concession in the event of a natural
disaster, war, significant public disturbance or threats to internal peace and
for other reasons related to preserving public order or for economic reasons.
Under Mexican law, the Mexican Government is obligated, except in the event of
war, to compensate the owner of such assets in the case of such temporary
seizure for damages at their actual value. If there is no agreement upon the
amount of the compensation, damages will be appraised by non-related experts
appointed by the parties; in the case of loss of profit, the net income of the
preceding year will be the basis for such calculation. Upon termination of a
concession, the Mexican Government has the preemptive right to acquire the
assets of a DTH concessionaire.

     MONITORING AND INFORMATION

     The SCT monitors compliance with Mexican law and other applicable
legislation through periodic inspections. Concessionaires must file annual and
quarterly reports with the SCT which include financial statements, and provide
any other information required by the SCT.

                                     - 34 -

<PAGE>

     SUPERVISION OF OPERATIONS

     Concessionaires, as a part of their agreement with the government and as
established in the relevant concession, are required to:

         -    develop training programs for their personnel;

         -    enter into contracts with their subscribers and file the forms of
              such contracts with the SCT;

         -    obtain SCT approval of their billing systems;

         -    observe the intellectual property rights of the programming
              providers;

         -    execute research and development activities in Mexico in
              coordination with the Mexican Institute of Communications or other
              institutions dedicated to the research and development of
              technology; and

         -    appoint a person responsible for the technical operation of the
              network who has the appropriate administrative powers to represent
              the concessionaire before the SCT with respect to the network's
              technical operation.

In addition, concessionaires must comply with certain SCT guidelines with
respect to their operations, including billing, service calls and emergency
plans for service failure.

     RESTRICTIONS ON ADVERTISING

     Mexican law also regulates the type and content of advertising which may be
broadcast on television. Under the DTH protocol with the U.S.,
non-discriminatory restrictions on programming and advertising content can be
established. Under new rules enacted in February 2000, a concessionaire has the
exclusive responsibility to ensure that the commercial advertising it broadcasts
complies with any applicable regulations. See "--Pay TV and Audio Services
Rules."

     PROGRAMMING

     Under Mexican law, television programming is not subject to judicial or
administrative censorship, except that programming is subject to various
regulations, including prohibitions on foul language and programming, which is
against good manners and customs, or is against the national security or against
public order. Under rules enacted in February 2000, a concessionaire has the
exclusive responsibility to ensure that the programming it broadcasts complies
with any applicable regulations. See "--Pay TV and Audio Services Rules."

     SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE OF STOCK

     According to our concession, we must file with the SCT, no later than April
30 of each year, a list of their ten principal shareholders and their
corresponding ownership percentages. In the event of any proposed new issuance
of stock or sale of stock or interests in a transaction or series of
transactions representing 10% or more of Innova's equity:

         -    we must notify the SCT of the planned issuance or sale, including
              information relating to the purchasers;

         -    the SCT shall have a period of 90 calendar days from the date it
              is notified to object to the transaction in writing and state the
              reasons for the objection; and

         -    if the transaction has not been objected to by the SCT within such
              period, the transaction shall be deemed approved.

     In the event that the party interested in purchasing our shares or
interests is a corporation, the notice must include information with respect to
the purchaser's shareholders who hold 10% or more of the purchaser's equity.

                                     - 35 -

<PAGE>

     PROTECTION OF RIGHTS

     Under Mexican law, including the Federal Criminal Code and the Federal
Copyright law, certain prison sentences and fines may be imposed on any person
who violates intellectual or industrial property rights or copyright. Such
violations may include the manufacture, import, sale, or lease of any device or
system, or any activity that involves decoding a program carrier encrypted
satellite signal without the permission of the lawful distributor of such
signal.

     TELECOMMUNICATIONS TAX

     At the end of December 2001, the Mexican Congress passed a series of tax
reforms. As a result of these tax reforms, subject to certain exceptions,
revenues from our pay television services are now subject to a 10% excise tax.
The new tax became effective beginning on January 1, 2002. This new tax is in
addition to a 15% VAT, paid by subscribers, and the 3.5% fee we pay to the
Ministry of Communications and Transportation for our concessions.

     In February 2002, Cablevision, Innova, Skytel and a number of other
companies in the telecommunications and pay television industries filed amparo
injunctive proceedings challenging the constitutionality of this excise tax.
Nonetheless, we implemented rate increases on January 1, 2002 and took other
actions including lay-offs and reduction of capital expenditures and expenses in
an effort to mitigate, in part, the impact of this tax on our results of
operations and financial condition. We obtained a favorable ruling in this
proceeding regarding our 2002 liability for this tax, but this ruling does not
entitle us to recover any amounts paid for this tax in 2002, and we cannot
assure you that we will be able to recover any portion of the approximately
US$18 million paid for this excise tax during 2002.

     In December 2002 the Congress again acted to make this special tax
effective during fiscal year 2003, by adding or modifying some concepts included
in the original text of the law. In response, we have filed a new amparo
proceeding challenging the constitutionality of the tax. Our action challenges
the tax on grounds similar to those we raised last year and we plan to follow a
similar strategy as last year. We cannot assure you that we will obtain a
favorable resolution in these proceedings or that we will be able to recover the
amounts that have been or will be paid for this tax. So far this year, we have
not increased prices in response to the tax, but we will continue to evaluate
the impact of this tax on our results of operations and financial condition and
we will consider measures, including rate increases, that we might implement to
mitigate the impact of the continued imposition of this tax. If, as a result of
the imposition of the tax, we further increase the rates we charge our customers
such rate increases could adversely affect consumer demand for our services,
which could result in a loss of subscribers and a decrease in revenues, and
could adversely impact our ability to attract new subscribers.

     OTHER FEES

     We are required by the Mexican Federal Rights of the Author Law to pay a
percentage of our programming revenues to the Sociedad General de Escritores de
Mexico (SOGEM) and the Sociedad de Autores y Compositores de Musica (SACM),
non-profit organizations that support and protect Mexican writers and artists.
We currently pay the standard rate of 1.15% of programming revenues. In
addition, under Mexican law, we are required to pay to the Mexican Government a
fee of Ps. 5,195 each time that government agents inspect Innova's facilities.

     PAY TV AND AUDIO SERVICES RULES

     In February 2000, rules applicable to pay television and audio services
were enacted in Mexico (Reglamento del Servicio de Television y Audio
Restringidos). These rules imposed new requirements, such as the
concessionaires' obligations to:

         -    classify their programs according to their content and the
              specifications of the Internal Affairs Ministry (Secretaria de
              Gobernacion);

         -    create a database with subscriber information, including name,
              address, services equipment serial numbers and specific passwords
              selected in order to obtain pay-per-view, or PPV;

         -    comply with Mexican regulations regarding the content of
              programming and commercial advertising; and

                                     - 36 -

         -    encrypt and promote restricted audience programs (i.e. adult
              programming) as premium channels or events.

     OUR CONCESSIONS

     We have received two concessions authorizing the installation, operation,
and exploitation of our telecommunications and broadcast network. The
concessions deal with domestic and foreign source satellite signals,
respectively. Our first concession to install, operate and exploit a public
telecommunications network providing DTH services was granted on May 24, 1996,
to our subsidiary, Corporacion de Radio y Television del Norte de Mexico, S. de
R.L. de C.V., and expires in 2026. This concession authorizes the operation of a
DTH system using Mexican satellites, including Solidaridad 2. The concession
covers satellite television services, which consist of broadcasting video and
related audio codified signals by satellite and the direct receipt of these
signals at the domiciles of subscribers through terminal equipment that allows
access to the signals.

     We obtained the second concession from the SCT on November 27, 2000 in
order to use services over Mexican territory from PAS-9 which Mexican law
considers a foreign satellite. The SCT granted the concession to our subsidiary,
Corporacion de Radio y Television del Norte de Mexico, and it expires in 2020.
The concession covers satellite DTH television services, consisting of broadcast
video and related audio codified signals by satellite and the direct receipt of
these signals at the domiciles of subscribers through terminal equipment that
allows access to the signals. If we eventually desire to use PAS-9 for other
services, we must request an additional authorization from the SCT for those
purposes.

     Under both concessions, we and our foreign indirect owners, News and
Liberty Media, have agreed not to invoke or accept the diplomatic intervention
of any foreign country under penalty of forfeiting to the Mexican government all
the goods and rights we may have acquired for the installation, operation and
exploitation of our telecommunications public network and use of foreign
satellite services.

     Under our first concession, we were obliged to pay the Mexican Government a
percentage of our revenues and fees, on a monthly basis. We were required to pay
1.5% and 2.5% of programming revenues and maintenance fees paid by subscribers
in 1997 and 1998 respectively. In 1999 and through to November 27, 2000 we paid
3.5% of our programming revenues and fees under our first concession. From
November 27, 2000, when our second concession was granted, and going forward, we
will continue to pay 3.5% of our programming revenues and fees as a combined
payment for both concessions for the term of the concessions.

     Under both concessions, we will be able to broadcast up to six minutes of
commercial advertising per transmission hour on any channel as long as at least
20% of the channel's programming is domestically produced and our agreements
with our programming providers allow us to do so.

     We were required to post a bond with an approved bonding institution in the
amount of Ps. 1.5 million for the benefit of the Mexican Treasury of the
Federation (Tesoreria de la Federacion) to secure the payment of any monetary
sanctions imposed by the SCT in the event of any revocation of the first
concession. Under the new concession, we replaced the bond we posted under the
original concession with a Ps. 6.3 million bond posted with an approved bonding
institution to secure the payment of any monetary sanctions imposed by the SCT
in the event of any revocation of either concession. The amount of the bond is
adjusted annually for inflation in accordance with the Mexican national consumer
price index.

     We are obliged to obtain authorization in advance to utilize those signals
that are transmitted from a country other than Mexico or the United States of
America. We must also prevent our subscribers from receiving signals from
countries where Mexican satellite services are not permitted, if the SCT so
requests.

     To use foreign satellite signals in Mexico, a concessionaire must be an
entity organized and existing under Mexican law, must hold a concession, and
there must be a reciprocity agreement between Mexico and the relevant country.
Under the satellite agreement and DTH protocol currently in force, if, during
our new concession, the SCT identifies a "lack of reciprocation" between Mexico
and the United States' satellites services practices, the SCT may terminate our
second concession by declaration. The SCT may find a lack of reciprocity:

         -    if the US government denies "most favored nation" treatment to
              Mexican satellite services in the United States satellite market;

                                     - 37 -

<PAGE>

         -    if either the agreement or protocol mentioned above is partially
              restricted, suspended or terminated; or

         -    for any other reason that undermines the principle of reciprocity
              in the SCT's judgment.

     Under the second concession, we must provide our DTH broadcast satellite
pay television services by November 2003 to at least those areas of Mexico where
40% of the total population lives, according to the last available census
information. We must make the necessary investments to fulfill this obligation;
otherwise the second concession could be revoked by the SCT. As of December 31,
2002 more than 50% of our subscriber base resided in States that together have
approximately the 58% of total population, and therefore we believe we are
currently providing our DTH broadcast satellite pay television services in
accordance with our obligations.

                            ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

     Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V., is a joint venture indirectly owned by
Televisa, News Corporation and Liberty Media, through their respective
investment vehicles, SKY DTH, S. de R.L. de C.V. (formerly Galavision DTH, S. de
R.L. de C.V.), News DTH (Mexico) Investment Ltd., and Liberty Mexico DTH, Inc.

     On March 5, 2002 Galavision DTH, S. de R.L. de C.V. spun-off part of its
assets, liabilities and equity, including its participation on Innova, S. de
R.L. de C.V., into the new company SKY DTH, S. de R.L. de C.V., which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Televisa and is registered with the Public Registry
of Commerce in Mexico City under the commercial File (folio mercantile) No.
290987.

     Televisa is the leading television broadcaster in Mexico that we believe
produces and owns the largest library of Spanish-language television programming
in the world. News Corporation is a diversified international media and
entertainment company with operations in a number of industry segments,
including filmed entertainment, television, cable network programming, magazines
and inserts, newspapers and book publishing. The activities of News Corporation
are conducted principally in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Asia,
Australia, and the Pacific Basin. Liberty Media owns and operates broadband
cable television and telephony distribution networks and provides diversified
programming services in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Liberty Media is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation. Prior to August 10, 2001,
Liberty Media Corporation was a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of AT&T Corp.
On August 10, 2001, AT&T Corp. spun-off Liberty Media Corporation, which is now
an independent, publicly-traded company.

     We have five wholly owned subsidiaries: Corporacion de Radio y Television
del Norte de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., Corporacion Novavision, S. de R.L. de
C.V., Corporacion Novaimagen, S. de R.L. de C.V. , Servicios Novasat, S. de R.L.
de C.V. and Servicios Corporativos de Telefonia, S. de R.L. de C.V. The latter
was formed in July 2001 to house the call center operations we acquired from
Merkatel. We own all of the voting interests in these subsidiaries, and each is
incorporated in Mexico. We are a holding company and almost all of our
operations occur in, and almost all of our assets are held by, our subsidiaries.

GROUP STRUCTURE OF INNOVA

                        [GROUP STRUCTURE OF INNOVA CHART]

                          PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Our properties consist primarily of office and call center facilities
located in Mexico City, uplink facilities located in Mexico City, our DTH
concessions and certain rights to use satellite transponder capacity.

     We lease our principal corporate office space in Mexico City from an
unaffiliated third party where our call center is also located. In addition to
corporate activities, we conduct several technical activities at our principal
corporate office, including downlink monitoring, "black box" recording and
subscription management. We also lease from an unaffiliated third party
additional space from which our programming and scheduling operations are
conducted. We lease all of these properties through wholly owned subsidiaries.
These properties consist of approximately 180,000 square feet in the aggregate
and are located throughout Mexico.

     In June 2001, we purchased from Merkatel, our former call center service
provider, the equipment Merkatel used to provide call center services to Innova,
including computers, telephones, furniture and fixtures. We also hired the
telephone operators involved in operating the call center. Merkatel is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Televisa and provided call center services to Innova from
its inception through June 30, 2001. Since July 1, 2001, the call center
functions have been provided in-house in a facility adjacent to our principal
corporate offices.

     We believe that the facilities we use in Mexico City and the United States
are currently adequate for our technical activities.

     We currently use transponder capacity on the PAS-9 satellite. For a
description of our agreements with respect to transponder capacity, see "Item 4:
Information on the Company--Business Overview--Operations--Satellites."

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

     You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our audited
financial statements and the accompanying notes, which appear elsewhere in this
annual report. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to our
financial statements. The following discussion includes certain forward-looking
statements. See "Item 3: Key Information-Risk Factors--Forward-Looking
Statements" for a discussion of important factors which could cause our actual
results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in
this discussion. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts denominated in Mexican
pesos and U.S. dollars have been rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand
Mexican pesos or U.S. dollars.

                                     - 39 -

<PAGE>

PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican
GAAP, which differ in some significant respects from U.S. GAAP and generally
accepted accounting principles adopted in other countries. Note 21 to our
financial statements describes the principal differences between Mexican GAAP
and U.S. GAAP as they relate to us and reconciles net loss and total
stockholders' deficit to U.S. GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     We have identified certain key accounting policies and estimates on which
our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are dependent.
The application of these key accounting policies often involves complex
considerations and assumptions and the making of subjective judgments or
decisions on the part of our management. In the opinion of our management, our
most critical accounting policies under both Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP are
those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the carrying
value and valuation of long-lived assets, the recognition of certain reserves
and accruals under Mexican GAAP, and deferred income taxes. For a description of
our principal accounting policies, see Notes 2, 3 and 21 to our consolidated
financial statements.

     ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated
credit losses based upon our historical experience and specific customer
collection issues that we identify. We recognize an allowance for all accounts
receivable outstanding greater than 90 days and write-off all receivables
outstanding greater than 120 days against the allowance.

     During 2002, we recorded additional allowances for doubtful accounts to
reflect the increased risk of uncollectibility resulting from:

         -    cancellations due to the increase in our prices as a result of 10%
              consumer tax on telecommunication services effective January 1,
              2002;

         -    cancellations by subscribers who did not have their satellite
              antenna re-pointed to the PAS-9 satellite; and

         -    the general deterioration in economic conditions in Mexico.

     In order to mitigate the risk of uncollectibility, we perform credit checks
on all customers, bill one month in advance and have implemented a "blocking"
system for late paying customers.

     A significant difference between the amount of the reserve that we
establish based on our estimates of uncollectible accounts and actual amounts of
unpaid receivables could have a material adverse impact on our future operating
results.

     CARRYING VALUE AND VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     We have recognized on our balance sheet certain long-lived assets including
our satellite transponder asset, which was recognized in 2000. These long-lived
assets are evaluated for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that
the asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. We recognize impairment
losses to the extent we believe that the carrying value exceeds the anticipated
estimated future net cash flows generated by the asset. Different assumptions
regarding such cash flows could materially affect our analysis of
recoverability. Further, as discussed in Risk Factors and elsewhere, currently
and in the past we have not generated positive cash flows from operations and we
depend on funding from our stockholders. If we do not receive such funding, or
if our assumptions regarding future positive cash flows are not correct, we may
need to recognize significant impairment losses and accelerated depreciation of
the carrying value of these assets.

     During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2000, we recorded an
impairment loss on certain transmission equipment and other equipment not in use
of Ps. 30.8 million (which was included in the "Transponder services-

                                     - 40 -

<PAGE>

Solidaridad 2 and reorientation cost" line item) and Ps.11.5 million (included
in the "Depreciation and amortization" line item), respectively. No impairment
was recorded during 2001.

     As of April 2002, we stopped utilizing the service of the Solidaridad 2
satellite, continuing only with the service of the PAS-9 satellite. At that
date, transmission equipment with a book value of Ps. 38.3 million were
associated with Solidaridad 2 and we decided to recognize an impairment charge
amounting to Ps.30.8 million for the equipment that could not be utilized by the
PAS-9 satellite, and to create a spare-part inventory for the remaining Ps. 7.6
million transmission equipment that could be utilized by the PAS-9 satellite.
This impairment loss, together with the payments for the use of Solidaridad 2 in
the first quarter of 2002 amounting to Ps.14.1 million was reflected as a
nonrecurring charge of Ps.25.9 million in 2002. The charge was partially offset
by the reversal of unutilized provisions recorded in 2000 amounting to Ps.19.0
million. See Notes 5 and 15 to our consolidated financial statements.

     RESERVES FOR TRANSPONDER SERVICES FROM SOLIDARIDAD AND SATELLITE ANTENNA
REORIENTATION AND SMART CARD REPLACEMENT

     In 2000, we recognized a reserve of Ps. 430.9 million representing the
estimated costs to be incurred in future periods related to the migration of
subscribers from the Solidaridad 2 satellite to the PAS-9 satellite. We
estimated that we would incur costs relating to the migration including: the
redundant satellite lease payments being made for the use of Solidaridad 2 and
costs related to reorienting subscribers' satellite antennas to accept the feed
from PAS-9. In making these estimates, we used internal and external analyses
taking into consideration the expected timing of the reorientation, and the
number and location of subscribers involved. In 2001, we realized that the
expected timing of the completion of the reorientation would be extended into
March 2002 but this change in timing did not significantly affect the amount
previously estimated. At March 2002, the reorientation was completed and as of
December 31, 2002, we have no remaining reserve related to this project.

     In addition, in 2000 we recognized a reserve of Ps. 32.6 million for the
estimated costs to be incurred to replace our customer's smart cards. The smart
card replacement was substantially completed in 2001 and we have no remaining
reserve related to this project.

     DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

     Under both Mexican and U.S. GAAP, we are required to record deferred income
tax assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in order to give effect to
temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities.
If enacted tax rates change, we adjust the deferred tax assets and liabilities,
through the provision for income taxes in the period of change, to reflect the
enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the deferred tax items reverse.
We also record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the
amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered
future taxable income and tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the
valuation allowance, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize
our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an
adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such
determination was made. Should we determine that we would not be able to realize
all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the
deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination
was made.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION, CURRENCY EXCHANGE FLUCTUATIONS AND TRANSLATION EFFECTS

     The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated:

         -    the percentage that the peso devalued or appreciated against the
              U.S. dollar;

         -    the Mexican inflation rate;

         -    the U.S. inflation rate; and

         -    the percentage change in Mexican GDP compared to the prior period.

      2002, as estimated by INEGI.

     Mexican GAAP requires that our financial statements recognize the effects
of inflation. Financial data for all periods presented in our financial
statements and this annual report have been restated in constant pesos in
purchasing power as of December 31, 2002 in accordance with the third amendment
to Bulletin B-10. Accordingly, the comparative increases set forth below are
adjusted for the general effects of inflation to permit period to period
comparison. See Note 3 to our financial statements.

     In 2000, inflation in Mexico was 9.0%. In nominal terms, the peso
depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 1.2% in 2000. In 2001 and 2002, the rate
of inflation in Mexico was 4.4% and 5.7%, respectively, and the peso appreciated
4.6% in 2001 against the U.S. dollar in nominal terms while it depreciated 13.9%
against the U.S. dollar in 2002. The rate of inflation in Mexico has declined
substantially during the last few years as compared to historical rates.
Nonetheless, at approximately 4.7% per annum (as measured from May 2002 to May
2003), Mexico's current level of inflation remains higher than the annual
inflation rates of its main trading partners. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk
Factors--Risk Factors Related to Mexico--Mexico Has Experienced Adverse Economic
Conditions."

     Inflation has led to high interest rates, devaluations of the peso, and
during the 1980s, substantial government control over exchange rates and prices.
If Mexico were to experience high levels of inflation, our revenues and
financial condition could be impacted by the resultant decreases in effective
purchasing power among current and potential subscribers and the prospect of a
currency devaluation that could make it more difficult for us to repay our U.S.
dollar denominated debt and obligations as discussed below. A robust U.S.
economy, rising oil prices, the tight monetary policy established by Mexico's
central bank, Banco de Mexico, and fiscal discipline each contributed to
economic growth and currency stability in Mexico in 2000. But, economic growth
slowed precipitously in 2001 due in part to the recession in the United States,
which continued during 2002.

     Under Mexican GAAP, through December 31, 2002, U.S. dollar-denominated
sales, costs and expenses are translated into pesos at the exchange rate in
effect when the operations are recognized and are subsequently restated in
constant pesos using the Mexican national consumer price index. If the
devaluation of the peso against the dollar is greater than inflation in Mexico
during a period, U.S. dollar-denominated sales, costs and expenses increase in
relative terms when compared to prior periods. Conversely, if inflation exceeds
the devaluation rate during a period, U.S. dollar-denominated sales, costs and
expenses decrease in relative terms when compared to prior periods. In 2001, we
had favorable effects due to peso appreciation and low inflation as compared to
previous years. In 2002, the translation effect and devaluation increased our
cost of sales in comparison to previous years.

     Adverse economic conditions in Mexico, as well as social instability or
other adverse social, political or economic developments in or affecting Mexico,
would generally have an adverse effect on the Mexican economy and consumer
purchasing power, thereby potentially decreasing our revenues while increasing
our nominal peso-denominated costs and expenses. See "Item 3: Key
Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our Business--Mexico Has
Experienced Adverse Economic Conditions."

U.S. DOLLAR DENOMINATED OBLIGATIONS, COSTS AND EXPENSES

     Any devaluation of the peso will likely adversely affect our liquidity and
results of operations by increasing the peso equivalent of U.S.
dollar-denominated operating costs and expenses.

     We have incurred and expect to continue to incur more than 70% of our
obligations payable in U.S. dollars, while our revenues will be generated
primarily in Mexican pesos. Therefore, we are subject to currency exchange rate
risk. In addition to our obligations with respect to our senior notes, our
dollar-denominated obligations will also continue to include satellite signal
reception and retransmission fees, programming commitments and equipment costs.
We did not have any U.S. dollar-denominated revenues from 1998 through 2002
other than interest income on certain restricted investments, while our U.S.
dollar-denominated operating costs and expenses were significant and are
expected to continue to exceed U.S. dollar-denominated revenues, if any. During
2000, 2001 and 2002, approximately 41.7%, 42.5% and 48.5% of our total operating
expenses, not considering interest expense of Ps. 742.6 million, Ps. 903.9
million and Ps. 983.1 million respectively, were U.S. dollar-denominated.

     In 2000, 2001 and 2002, we did not engage in any hedging or other
transactions to manage the risks associated with foreign currency or interest
rate fluctuations. Because we do not currently engage in hedging activity,
shifts in currency exchange rates could decrease the value of our revenues
relative to our costs, resulting in a material adverse effect on our financial
position. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to
Mexico--Currency Fluctuations or the Devaluation or Depreciation of the Peso
Could Limit the Ability of Us and Others to Convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars or
Other Currencies and/or Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition." We may
consider entering into transactions to hedge the risk of exchange rate
fluctuations if we are able to obtain hedging arrangements on commercially
satisfactory terms.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In December 2001, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-9, "Liability, Provisions,
Contingent Assets and Liabilities, and Commitments." Bulletin C-9 provides
guidance for the valuation, presentation and disclosure of liabilities and
provisions (other than income taxes, employee benefit plans, financial
instruments to be valued on a fair value basis and asset allowances), including
contingent assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure guidelines for
commitments incurred by an entity as a part of its operations. Bulletin C-9 is
effective as of January 1, 2003, with earlier adoption permitted.

     In January 2002, 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 definition
of research and development costs requiring that only development costs can be
deferred to a future period. Furthermore, Bulletin C-8 states that pre-operating
costs should be expensed as a period cost, unless they can be classified as
development costs. Bulletin C-8 requires that intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives should be tested for impairment annually rather than amortized.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives should be amortized over their useful
lives. The provisions of Bulletin C-8 became effective as of January 1, 2003.

     In March 2003, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-15 "Impairment and Disposition of
Long-Lived Assets." Bulletin C-15 requires (i) the recognition and measurement
of the impairment of long-lived assets to held and used, including goodwill, and
(ii) the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. Bulletin
C-15 is effective for periods beginning on January 1, 2004, with early adoption
recommended.

     We are currently evaluating the impact of these Bulletins on our results of
operation and financial position. However, we do not believe that the adoption
of these Bulletins will have a material impact on our results of operation and
financial position.

RECENTLY ISSUED U.S. GAAP PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligation" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 establishes accounting standards
for recognition and measurement of a liability at fair value for an asset
retirement obligation and an addition to the associated asset retirement cost.
The accretion of interest expense each period is subsequently recorded as an
expense and added to the liability. We are required to adopt SFAS 143 effective
January 1, 2003.

                                     - 43 -

<PAGE>

We do not expect that the adoption of FAS 143 will have a material impact on our
results of operation and financial position.

     In April 2002, the FASB issued Statements of Accounting Standards No. 145,
"Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS 13, and Technical
Corrections as of April 2002" ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 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 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 145 amends SFAS 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 145
also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various
technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under
changed conditions. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May
15, 2002. We do not believe that the adoption of FAS 145 will have a material
impact on our results of operation and financial position.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146").
This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated
with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exist an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)" ("EITF 94-3"). SFAS 146 eliminates the definition and
requirements for recognition of exit costs in EITF 94-3. SFAS 146 requires that
a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an
exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also concludes that an entity's commitment
to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets
the definition of a liability. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the
objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is effective for
exist or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We are currently
evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 146 will have on our
consolidated financial statements. However, we do not believe that the adoption
of FAS 146 will have a material impact on our results of operation and financial
position.

     In April 2003 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 149 ("SFAS 149"), Amendment of SFAS No. 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Statement amends and clarifies
accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. In
particular, it (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial
net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in SFAS
133, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, (3) amends
the definition of an underlying to conform it to the language used in FIN 45 and
(4) amends certain other existing pronouncements.

     SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June
30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships designated after
June 30, 2003.

     The provisions of SFAS 149 that relate to SFAS 133 Implementation Issues
that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003,
should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective
dates. In addition, certain provisions relating to forward purchases or sales of
when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be
applied to existing contracts as well as new contracts entered into after June
30, 2003. SFAS 149 should be applied prospectively. We do not expect that the
adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our results of
operations and financial position.

     In May 2003 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
150 ("SFAS 150"), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 modifies the accounting
for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could
account for as equity. The Statement requires that those instruments be
classified as liabilities in statements of financial position.

     SFAS 150 affects an issuer's accounting for three types of freestanding
financial instruments, namely:

                                     - 44 -

<PAGE>

         -    Mandatorily redeemable shares, which the issuing company is
              obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets.

         -    Financial instruments, other than outstanding shares, that do or
              may require the issuer to buy back some of its equity shares in
              exchange for cash or other assets.

         -    Unconditional obligations that can be settled with equity shares,
              the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly
              to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with the
              value of the issuer's equity shares.

     SFAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in financial instruments that
are not derivatives in their entirety.

     In addition to its requirements for the classification and measurement of
financial instruments within its scope, SFAS 150 also requires disclosures about
alternative ways of settling such instruments and the capital structure of
entities, all of whose shares are mandatorily redeemable.

     SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. We are currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS 150 on our results of operations and financial position.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     We operate a digital Ku-band DTH satellite pay television service in
Mexico. The company was formed on July 25, 1996 and we launched our digital
Ku-band DTH service on December 15, 1996. From our inception to the launch of
DTH services, we were engaged principally in development and start-up
activities.

     Since our inception, we have sustained substantial net losses and
substantial negative cash flow. These losses are due primarily to start-up costs
we incurred to develop our DTH service, satellite transponder commitments,
expenses of increasing our subscriber base and financing costs. While we began
receiving revenues from subscriptions in 1997, our operating costs, expenses and
financing costs incurred exceeded these revenues during each of our six full
years of operations. We expect to continue to experience net losses and negative
cash flow for the next several years while we develop and expand our DTH
service. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our
Business--We May Never Generate Revenue Sufficient to Cover Our Costs". Since
our inception, we have relied substantially upon proceeds from our senior notes
and loans and capital contributions by Televisa, News Corporation and Liberty
Media to fund our operations. Our expansion plans will continue to require
substantial capital expenditures and investments, and we cannot assure you that
our business will generate net profits or positive cash flow. See "--Liquidity
and Capital Resources."

     During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 we concentrated on
managing and expanding our subscriber base and its quality, further developing
the infrastructure and points of sale for distribution of our DTH service and
acquiring quality programming. In 2002, we increased our subscriber base 2.0%
from over 692,000 subscribers as of December 31, 2001 to approximately 705,900
subscribers as of December 31, 2002, even while facing several adverse
situations such as the new 10% tax on telecommunication services, the repointing
of antennas process, the lack of rights to transmit the World Cup soccer
tournament in June 2002 and the economic recession.

     In 2001, we increased our subscriber base 17.2% from over 590,300
subscribers as of December 31, 2000 to approximately 692,000 subscribers as of
December 31, 2001. In 2000, we increased our subscriber base approximately 44%
from over 410,000 subscribers as of December 31, 1999. The above subscriber base
figures do not include commercial subscribers, which are included as part of our
subscriber base beginning only in the first quarter of 2003, as explained below.

     We believe four elements continue to drive the strong growth in our
subscriber base:

         -    our superior programming content;

                                     - 45 -

<PAGE>

         -    our extensive distribution network and direct sales force;

         -    our competitive pricing policy; and

         -    our enhanced TV features.

     Our programming includes Televisa's four over-the-air channels, which we
offer on a DTH exclusive basis and certain pay-TV exclusive soccer games and
special events. Our distribution network includes an in-house sales force and 12
external, third-party master wholesalers, incorporating more than 3,600 points
of sale. In addition to our basic programming costs, we incurred further costs
during 2001 and 2002 in order to feature a number of free special events for
subscribers to introduce them to Sky's new product offerings as well as high
profile sporting events and reality shows.

     In our six full years of operations, we have derived most of our revenues
from DTH programming fees, subscription fees, installation fees, rental fees and
membership fees all paid by our subscribers. We are renting IRDs to our
subscribers, and starting in October 2000 we began retaining title to the
antennas and LNBs, and providing them to our subscribers to use as part of their
subscriptions. Until we began retaining title to this equipment in October 2000,
the various fees were equivalent to our Sky Kit sales. IRD rental fees,
subscription fees, membership fees along with advertising sales revenue,
accounted for approximately 36%, 29% and 30% of our revenues in the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Programming fees, channel fees,
pay-per-view fees, and special events fees accounted for approximately 67%, 70%
and 68% of our revenue in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. All of our revenues are generated in Mexico, principally from
consumers. Our DTH revenues are principally a function of the number of
subscribers, the mix of programming packages selected by the subscribers and the
rates charged.

     Our principal operating costs and expenses originate from:

         -    programming costs,

         -    subscriber management (including call center costs),

         -    the costs of providing, replacing and refurbishing equipment for
              subscribers,

         -    transmission and related functions, including uplink and downlink
              services, and

         -    marketing and administration.

     Programming represents our largest cost at the present time. Subscriber
management expenditures include our costs to operate our subscriber management
system and conditional access system, both of which are largely dependent on DTH
subscriber levels. Transmission and related costs, including technical costs,
are largely dependent upon the number of transponders serving Innova. See
"Item 4: Information on the Company--Business Overview--Operations--Satellites."

     Our capital expenditures include the purchase of technical equipment,
software and systems and IRDs. Our operating costs and capital expenditures from
inception through fiscal year 2002 were financed by capital contributions and
loans made by Televisa, News Corporation and Liberty Media, the proceeds of our
senior notes and lately partially by our own generated cash flow. See "-
Liquidity and Capital Resources."

NET SALES

     Our recurring revenues consist of fees paid by subscribers to receive one
of our programming packages and pay-per-view services. Net sales for the year
ended December 31, 2002 were Ps. 3,432.9 million, an increase of Ps. 166.9
million as compared with the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was due
primarily to the increase in the number of subscribers in 2002.

     We have experienced a continued upward trend in the number of subscribers
each year since our inception, which generally increases our net sales. Our
subscriber growth slowed during 2002, however, due primarily to:

                                     - 46 -

<PAGE>

         -    the slowdown of the Mexican economy and consequent loss of
              consumer purchasing power;

         -    cancellations due to the increase in our prices as a result of the
              10% tax on telecommunications services effective January 2002;

         -    cancellations by subscribers who did not have their satellite
              antenna re-pointed to the PAS-9 satellite; and

         -    the lack of rights to broadcast the FIFA World Cup soccer
              tournament in June 2002.

     Nevertheless, our subscriber base experienced a 2% growth during 2002, as
compared to 17.2% in 2001 and 44.2% in 2000. As of December 31, 2002, we had
approximately 705,900 gross active residential subscribers as compared to
approximately 692,000 at the end of fiscal year 2001, approximately 590,300 at
December 31, 2000 and over 410,000 at December 31, 1999.

     In prior years, under Mexican GAAP, concession fees paid to the Mexican
Government and to the actors and artists guild were recorded as a reduction in
net sales. From January 1, 2002, these fees have been recorded in cost of sales,
consistent with the accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP. Revenues under Mexican
GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 have been reclassified to
conform with the presentation in the current year.

     Effective in the third quarter of 2002, in light of recent accounting
guidance issued internationally as well as the increased acceptance by our
subscribers of our prompt payment discount policy, we elected to reclassify the
presentation of customer discounts in our consolidated statements of income. As
a result of this reclassification, we now reflect such discount as a reduction
of net sales. Previously, these discounts were recorded as financial expenses.
Consequently, all prior comparative periods have been reclassified to conform
with the current period's presentation.

     We recorded Ps. 3,432.9 million in net sales for the year ended December
31, 2002; Ps. 3,266.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and Ps.
2,560.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The 5.1% increase in net
sales in 2002 and 27.6% increase in net sales in 2001 as compared to the
respective prior year was the result of growth in our subscriber base and price
increases.

     Effective January 15, 2002, we increased the prices of our programming
packages, the IRD rental fee and other related services by approximately 12.5%
on a weighted-average basis primarily to minimize the negative impact of the new
10% tax on telecommunication services. So far in 2003 we have not increased
prices for our services. For more information regarding the new
telecommunications tax, see "Item 4: Information on the Company--Overview of
Business--Mexican Regulation of DTH Services--Telecommunications Tax."

OPERATING EXPENSES

     From the Company's inception through December 31, 2001, the Company
classified certain expenses directly related to operations such as the costs of
the call center and personnel who repair and refurbish IRDs' within the "Selling
and Administration" expense line. As of January 1, 2002, the Company began
classifying all these expenses within the "other operating expenses" line item
along with those expenses previously classified within this line item, including
the costs of repairs, refurbishment of IRD's and maintenance. As a result of
this new classification, the Selling and Administrative expenses line items
reflect only expenses related to those functions. In order to facilitate a
meaningful comparison of 2002 with the prior years, we have reclassified the
presentation of those expenses for the prior years as well. There is no impact
on "Total Expenses" as a result of this new expense classification.

COST OF SALES

     From our inception through September 30, 2000, cost of sales had included
all direct and indirect costs of transmitting our DTH service to subscribers.
These costs principally included payments for satellite signal reception and
retransmission service fees, fees/royalties paid to acquire programming, certain
portions of sales commissions, fees paid to the Ministry of Communications and
Transportation, payments to acquire Sky Kit components, fees paid to uplink,
downlink and retransmit our signal to subscribers, and subscriber management
fees. As of October 1,

                                     - 47 -

<PAGE>

2000, we began accounting for satellite transmission fees and the costs of Sky
Kits differently as a result of operational changes.

     Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2002 was Ps. 1,062.8 million,
a decrease of Ps. 160.1 million or 13.1% as compared with the year ended
December 31, 2001 primarily due to fewer new subscriber activations in 2002 as
compared with 2001 and resulting from our inclusion as part of our cost of sales
the activation commissions that we pay to our sales network and master
distributors. The cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2001 was Ps.
1,222.9 million, a decrease of Ps. 135.7 million or 10.0% as compared to the
cost of sales of Ps. 1,358.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, due
primarily to transponder services costs that were recorded as part of cost of
sales for nine months in 2000, while such costs were not recorded in 2001.

     As previously described, we used both PAS-9 and Solidaridad 2 to transmit
our signals simultaneously between September 2000 and March 31, 2002. During
that period, the use of Solidaridad 2 was redundant. In the fourth quarter of
2000, we recorded within the Ps. 430.9 million non-recurring non operating
charge, the estimated redundancy costs of using Solidaridad 2 for the period
from October 1, 2000 through December 31, 2001 (which was the date that we
estimated that we would cease using this satellite). In 2002, we extended the
use of Solidaridad 2 through March 31, 2002 and the additional Ps.14.1 million
in rent payments was offset against the remaining unused reserve established in
2000 and also presented in non-recurring non operating charges.

     The PAS-9 arrangement has been recorded as a capital lease and
consequently, the amortization of the lease asset is presented within the
"depreciation and amortization" line item in the statement of operations.

     For the use of the PAS-9 satellite during the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000 we recognized total satellite costs of Ps. 257.8 million, of
which Ps. 98.0 million was recognized as depreciation expense and Ps. 159.8
million as interest expense; Ps. 252.4 million, of which Ps. 88.9 million was
recognized as depreciation expense and Ps. 163.5 million as interest expense;
and Ps. 84.0 million, of which Ps. 31.8 million was recognized as depreciation
expense and Ps. 52.2 million as interest expense, respectively.

     For the use of the Solidaridad 2 satellite during the year ended December
31, 2000 we recognized total satellite costs of Ps. 205.4 million in cost of
sales. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2000 we recognized an
extraordinary loss of Ps. 333.5 million for the redundant use of the Solidaridad
2 satellite corresponding to the remaining payments under the lease agreement
through December 31, 2001.

     For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, we incurred a total
of Ps. 657.3 million, Ps. 650.3 million and Ps. 517.4 million in programming
fees, respectively, representing an increase of Ps. 7.0 million or 1.1% from
2001 to 2002, and Ps. 132.9 million or 25.7% from 2000 to 2001. These increases
resulted primarily from the growth in the number of our subscribers. Most of our
programming agreements require us to pay a fee based upon the number of
subscribers receiving the programming service. As our subscriber base increases,
we experience an overall increase in our programming fees, but, in some cases,
benefit from volume based discount rates. Programming fees are expected to
increase in 2003, albeit at a slower rate, as the number of subscribers and
audience levels increase and we receive the benefit of larger volume based
discounts.

     We receive uplink and downlink services from TechCo at its Florida
facilities and from Televisa at its Mexico City facility. In 2002, we expensed
approximately Ps. 120.6 million for these costs as compared to approximately Ps.
128.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and Ps. 135.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000. Under the terms of the agreement between Innova
and TechCo, we will pay TechCo. Ps. 99.4 million (approximately US$9.5 million)
per year for uplink and downlink services over the ten-year life of the
agreement. We have also entered into an agreement with Televisa for the
provision of uplink and downlink, play out and compression services relating to
locally-sourced programming, at its Mexico City facility. We estimate that our
future annual commitments under these arrangements with Televisa will be Ps.
45.0 million (approximately US$4.3 million ) per year. We negotiate these fees
with Televisa on at least an annual basis and we believe that the fees we paid
for these services are comparable to what we would have paid an unaffiliated
third party for similar services.

     From inception through September 30, 2000, we sold our entry level product,
the Sky Kit, through our distribution network. The Sky Kit includes a satellite
antenna and a low noise block, as well as installation and activation, the right
to rent an IRD, and use a Smart Card, remote control and related components. We
formerly recorded these costs as part of the cost of sales upon the sale to our
distributors. As of October 1, 2000, however, we now retain ownership of all of
the Sky Kit equipment, including the antenna, Smart Card and low noise block, in

                                     - 48 -

<PAGE>

order to more easily remove the equipment when a subscriber cancels the service
or we cancel the service for lack of payment. Because we now retain ownership of
these assets, we record them in property, plant and equipment and amortize them
over three years. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the cost of the Sky Kit
equipment (antennas, low noise blocks, accessories and related equipment),
including installation and warehouse costs, totaled Ps. 189.1 million.

     As described above, since January 1, 2002, concession fees paid to the
Mexican Government and to the actors and artists guild are recorded in cost of
sales. Our payment of 3.5% of programming revenues and subscriber maintenance
fees each year to the Mexican government under the terms of our concessions, is
included in our cost of sales. This payment will continue through the remainder
of our concessions. See "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business
Overview--Mexican Regulation of DTH Services--Our Concessions."

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Administrative expenses include all costs associated with our finance and
administrative functions. These costs include labor, salaries and benefits,
insurance, and professional fees. In the year ended December 31, 2002, our
administrative expenses decreased Ps. 29.9 million or 19.7% to Ps. 121.5 million
from Ps. 151.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Administrative
expenses increased Ps. 33.2 million or 28.1% to Ps. 151.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2001 from Ps. 118.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2000. These variances were due to the direct and indirect costs of hiring more
personnel to service a greater number of subscribers during 2001 and reductions
in costs as a result of other expense reductions during 2002.

SELLING EXPENSES

     Selling expenses consist of direct and indirect personnel costs for our
sales force, commissions and bonuses we pay to distributors and independent
sales agents, advertising and marketing costs, bad debt expenses and expenses
associated with promotional materials. In the year ended December 31, 2002, our
selling expenses increased Ps. 14.0 million or 1.7% to Ps. 832.8 million from
Ps. 818.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was
principally due to (i) more special events offered to subscribers at no cost,
(ii) higher promotional costs resulting from discounts given to subscribers,
increased commissions we paid and internal costs relating to subscribers paying
by credit card, and (iii) an increase in collections' commissions paid to banks.

     In the year ended December 31, 2001, our selling expenses increased Ps.
41.3 million or 5.3% to Ps. 818.8 million from Ps. 777.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000. This increase was due to three factors: additional free
special events offered to subscribers including certain exclusive sporting
matches; an increase in commissions paid to our distribution network in order to
maintain the wholesaler's margin reduced by lower subscription fees; and an
increase in the reserve for costs, such as the write-off of accounts receivable
and equipment of those subscribers whose antennas could not be re-pointed to the
PAS-9 satellite during the first quarter of 2002. The reserve for charges
incurred in connection with subscribers cancelled as a result of repointing
amounted to approximately Ps. 21.1 million and our total allowance for doubtful
accounts rose from Ps. 14.8 million to Ps. 84.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001 as compared to the prior year.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

     Other operating expenses include direct and indirect customer service
costs, as call center and repair service personnel, equipment maintenance and
repairs and IRD refurbishment costs. In the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000, we recorded Ps. 481.8 million, Ps. 403.6 million and Ps. 536.8
million, respectively, in operating expenses. The increase of Ps. 78.6 million
or 19.4% in 2002 was mainly due to higher recovery and repair of IRDs, technical
equipment maintenance and the irrecoverable IRDs provision in connection with
those subscribers cancelled as a result of the termination of the repointing
process in the first quarter of 2002. Other operating expenses were
substantially reduced in 2001 as compared with 2000 by Ps. 133.2 or 24.8%, since
the costs of the substitution of smart cards were expensed in fiscal year 2000.

     We expect other operating expenses, including maintenance and repair of
equipment such as IRDs, to continue to increase as a result of increases in the
number of our subscribers and as a result of our increased successes in
recovering and repairing IRDs which, in some instances, enables us to avoid
purchasing new IRDs at higher costs.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of property and
equipment and amortization of intangible assets and pre-operating expenses. We
recorded Ps. 925.1 million in depreciation and amortization for the year ended
December 31, 2002, as compared to Ps. 948.3 million for the year ended December
31, 2001 and Ps. 844.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The
decrease of Ps. 23.2 million from 2001 to 2002 was mainly due to the full
depreciation of our pre-operating expense amortization in November of 2001, thus
reducing the amount of total amortization during 2002. The increase of Ps. 103.7
million from 2000 to 2001 reflects the depreciation and amortization of
additional investments in property and equipment, mainly IRDs, that we purchased
for rental to subscribers and the impact of the capitalization of the fees for
services from the PAS-9 satellite as required under both Mexican and U.S. GAAP.

     In October 2000, we began providing antennas, LNBs, Smart Cards and remote
controls to our customers to use free of charge whereas prior to October 2000,
we sold those items to our wholesalers, who in turn provided them to
subscribers. Because we will now retain title to this equipment, we capitalize
and amortize it over three years. As a result, the overall amounts we amortize
will continue to rise over the next few years as we cumulatively amortize more
antennas, LNBs and accessories. Those amounts will also increase as the number
of our subscribers increases. However, the increases in amortization are largely
offset by decreases in our cost of sales now that the purchases of these items
are no longer recorded as cost of sales.

INTEGRAL RESULT OF FINANCING

     The integral result of financing can have a significant impact on the
financial statements of a company in periods of high inflation. Mexican GAAP
requires companies to present all financial effects of operating and financing
the business under inflationary conditions in their income statements. Integral
result of financing primarily includes:

         -    interest earned on cash and temporary investments, interest paid
              on borrowed funds and interest earned and paid on accounts of
              affiliated companies;

         -    foreign exchange gains or losses associated with monetary assets
              and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies; and

         -    net gains or losses resulting from holding monetary assets and
              liabilities exposed to inflation.

     Our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities affect our foreign
exchange position. We record a foreign exchange gain or loss if the exchange
rate of the peso rises or falls compared to the other currencies in which our
monetary assets or liabilities are denominated. On the other hand, if we have
monetary liabilities that exceed our monetary assets during period of inflation,
we will generate a monetary gain.

     We reported a negative integral result of financing of Ps. 1,647.8 million,
Ps. 70.7 million and Ps. 352.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in cost in 2002 mainly resulted from a
foreign exchange loss of Ps. 1,174.4 million for the year, due to the 13.9%
devaluation of the peso versus the US dollar during 2002. The decrease in the
integral cost of financing in 2001 as compared to 2000, is due to the 4.6%
appreciation of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar which resulted in an
exchange gain of Ps. 371.0 million. This exchange gain in 2001 was offset
primarily because of the increase in interest expense due to additional loans
received from our owners and the interest expense related to the PAS-9 satellite
that was expensed from September 2000 on. We generated monetary gains for the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, of Ps. 498.6 million, Ps. 442.4
million and Ps. 522.2 million, respectively. The increase in the gain from
monetary position for 2002 as compared to 2001 was due to an increase in the net
monetary liabilities in peso terms which more than offset the decrease in the
Mexican inflation rate. The decrease in the gain from monetary position for 2001
as compared to 2000 was due to the decrease in net monetary liabilities in peso
terms and a decrease in Mexican inflation.

PROVISION FOR TAXES

     Provision for taxes includes reserves for corporate income tax, asset tax,
deferred income tax and employees' statutory profit sharing. We have not been
required to make any provision for income taxes due to operating losses and we
do not expect to make such provisions until we earn profits that exceed our
offsetting tax loss carry-forwards. As of December 31, 2002, we had total tax
loss carry-forwards of Ps. 7,217.5 million that we may, under certain
circumstances, carry forward over ten years from the period they were generated.
See Note 18 to our financial statements.

     The corporate income tax rate in Mexico was 35% in 2002, and is expected to
decrease 1% each year in each of the following three years. From January 1, 2002
on, Mexican entities may no longer defer 5% of their corporate income tax on
reinvested earnings.

     Also, from January 1, 2002 on, dividends, either in cash or in any other
form, are not subject to Mexican withholding tax.

     We are also subject to an asset tax on the book value of certain assets.
However, any income tax payments can be credited against asset tax payments. In
2000, 2001 and 2002 the asset tax rate was 1.8%. Under Mexican law, taxpayers
cannot deduct from their asset tax basis debt contracted with nonresident
companies or financial intermediaries. We challenged these provisions of
Mexico's asset tax law but at the same time, and in order to avoid penalties and
interest payments in the event we could lose the appeal, we paid approximately
Ps. 43.2 million nominal (including interest) of tax on assets for the year
ended December 31, 2001 in March of 2002; approximately Ps. 45.2 million nominal
in monthly payments during the year ended December 31, 2002; and approximately
Ps. 7.5 million nominal for the months of January and February 2003.

     On March 19, 2003, the court issued a resolution in our favor. Because the
declaratory judgment was favorable to us, to the extent that the Asset Tax Law
is not amended, we will be able to deduct debts payable to nonresidents from the
asset tax basis. We are analyzing the alternatives open to us to recover the
amount of Ps.88.4 million (plus interest and inflation effects) of payments made
for the tax years 2001 and 2002. However, we cannot assure you that we will be
successful in recovering this amount. The Ps. 7.5 million that was paid for the
months of January and February of 2003, has already been recovered or credited
to us.

     We were exempt from the asset tax in 1999, and only a minimal amount was
due in 2000. For more information on this proceeding, see "Item 10: Additional
Information-Legal Proceedings."

     Mexican law requires Mexican entities to pay employees profit sharing in an
aggregate amount equal to 10% of our taxable income (calculated without
reference to inflation adjustments or tax loss carry forwards). This profit
sharing is in addition to agreed compensation and benefits. We have not been
required to pay employee profit sharing because we have not generated taxable
income.

U.S. GAAP RECONCILIATION

         Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
Mexican GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.

         Net (loss) under U.S. GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000 was (Ps. 1,799.8 million), (Ps. 930.7 million) and (Ps.1,408.5
million), respectively. Stockholders' deficit under U.S. GAAP as of December 31,
2002 and 2001 was (Ps. 6,850.8 million) and (Ps. 5,050.8 million), respectively.
Differences between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000 include, but are not limited to: adjustments for the
capitalization and amortization of pre-operating expenses; the provision for
costs associated with re-pointing our subscribers' antennas from Solidaridad 2
to PAS-9, reversal of the accrual for the redundant use of Solidaridad 2 and the
reversal of certain other accruals recorded under Mexican GAAP. Our most
significant differences between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP are summarized below.
For a detailed discussion of the principal differences between Mexican GAAP and
U.S. GAAP as they relate to us for each of the years in the three year period
ended December 31, 2002, see Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements.

                                     - 51 -

<PAGE>

         Under U.S. GAAP, cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities
were Ps. 305.7 million, (Ps. 538.6 million) and (Ps. 734.5 million) as compared
to resources provided by (used in) operating activities of (Ps. 333.1 million),
Ps. 96.8 million and (Ps. 393.9 million) under Mexican GAAP for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The differences in determining
resources provided by (used in) operating activities under Mexican GAAP and cash
flow provided by (used in) operating activities under U.S. GAAP, as it relates
to us, is primarily due to the requirement to exclude non-cash items in
presenting cash flows under U.S. GAAP, whereas, the statement of changes in
financial position under Mexican GAAP is determined based upon differences
between beginning and ending financial statement balances in constant pesos.
Among other differences, for U.S. GAAP purposes, we have excluded from operating
cash flows gains from monetary position of Ps. 498.6 million, Ps. 432.2 million
and Ps. 495.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and unrealized foreign currency gains and (losses) of (Ps. 1,022.9
million), Ps. 303.1 million and (Ps. 84.4 million), respectively.

         Cash flows provided by financing activities under U.S. GAAP were Ps.
263.6 million, Ps. 1,258.4 million and Ps. 859.0 million as compared to
resources provided by financing activities of Ps. 872.0 million, Ps. 702.2
million and Ps. 2,249.9 million under Mexican GAAP for the years ended December
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. U.S. GAAP financing activities primarily
represent actual cash inflows and outflows from our receipt of cash. Under
Mexican GAAP, resources provided by financing activities reflect changes in the
balance sheet accounts, which include gains or losses from foreign currency
fluctuations and gains from monetary position. In addition, the proceeds from
the sale of restricted investments in 2000 were classified as financing
activities under Mexican GAAP but as investing activities under US GAAP.

         Cash flows (used in) investing activities under U.S. GAAP were (Ps.
337.1 million), (Ps. 719.9 million) and (Ps. 366.3 million) as compared to
resources (used in) investing activities of (Ps. 317.5 million), (Ps. 802.7
million) and (Ps. 2,118.7 million) under Mexican GAAP for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The difference in 2000 is
primarily related to the satellite transponder obligation liability of (Ps.
1,432.5 million) recognized as a resource from investing activity under Mexican
GAAP, but is considered a non-cash investing activity under U.S. GAAP. In
addition, as noted above, in 2000 we recognized the cash inflow of Ps. 277.2
million from the sale of restricted investments as an investing activity under
U.S. GAAP but as a financing activity under Mexican GAAP.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since our inception, we have been funded principally with capital
contributions and loans from our owners as well as the proceeds from our senior
notes. We have experienced, and expect to continue experiencing during the next
few years, negative cash flow in our operations and to require continued access
to financing sources. The roll-out and expansion of our Ku-band DTH pay
television service has required substantial amounts of capital from inception
through December 31, 2002 for:

         -    satellite transponder capacity;

         -    uplink and downlink services;

         -    the construction of additional transmission facilities and related
              equipment and acquisition of call center and subscriber management
              assets;

         -    the acquisition of Sky Kit components and the installation of the
              equipment at subscribers' locations;

         -    the acquisition of assets from Grupo Medcom, S.A. de C.V.,
              Imbursa, S.A. de C.V., Sociedad de Inversion de Capitales and
              Alejandro Palma; and

         -    the funding of other operating losses and working capital
              requirements.

     In 2002, we used our capital, received primarily from our owners, for the
funding of operating losses and other working capital requirements, including
satellite transponder service costs, for payment of interest to bondholders and
for the acquisition of Sky Kit components.

                                     - 52 -

<PAGE>

     We hold our cash and cash equivalent assets in both pesos and U.S. dollars.
For the years ended December 31, 2002, 200, and 2000, resources provided by
(used in) operating activities amounted to (Ps. 333.1 million), Ps. 96.8 million
and (Ps. 393.9 million), respectively. The substantial increase in 2001 as
compared to 2000 and 2002 was primarily due to our operating results. At the
same time, net resources provided by financing activities totaled Ps. 872.0
million, Ps. 702.2 million and Ps. 2,249.9 million, respectively, for the years
ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, consisting primarily of funds provided
by our owners as capital increases and loans. The amount for 2000 includes Ps.
1,472.2 million due to the recording of the satellite transponder obligation.

     Resources used in investing activities represented Ps. 317.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to Ps. 802.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2001 and Ps. 2,118.7 million from the year ended December 31,
2000. The variance from 2000 to 2001 was principally due to the recording of our
PAS-9 satellite arrangement as a capital lease in 2000. See "Contractual
Obligations and Commercial Commitments" table below.

     We incurred total capital expenditures of approximately Ps. 317.5 million,
Ps. 802.7 million and Ps. 686.1 million in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, which included transmission equipment, IRDs, computers, motor
vehicles, low noise blocks and antennas. In 2001, we acquired approximately Ps.
13.7 million in call center equipment from Merkatel (which was part of a Ps.
24.2 million (plus VAT) transaction that also included substantial training
materials and transitional support). The amount of our capital expenditures in
the long term will depend on numerous factors beyond our control or ability to
predict, including the availability of financing, nature of future expansion and
acquisition opportunities, economic conditions, subscriber demand, competition
and regulatory developments.

     The capital expenditures described above do not include acquisitions, which
we could make to expand our business and/or to enter into complementary
businesses. In the future, we may consider acquisitions of, investments in, or
joint ventures with, other companies.

     In 2000, 2001 and 2002 we continued to rely principally on capital
contributions and loans from Televisa, News Corporation, Liberty Media and their
affiliates to fund our operating costs. From our inception through March 31,
2003, our owners have contributed an aggregate of US$458.9 million to us,
including US$149.0 million in the form of equity and US$309.9 million in the
form of long-term loans, with the last loan made in March 2002.

     In the past three years, our owners have made amounts in loans and equity
available to us, depending on our monthly funding requirements for capital
expenditures and operations. Our owners increased our equity capital by US$49.0
million in 1999 pro-rata, based on their respective equity interests in the
Company. Our owners also loaned us and, in one instance, our subsidiary
Novavision, a total of US$41.6 million in 1999. The owners lent us another
US$81.0 million in 2000, US$132.8 million in 2001 and US$29.5 million in 2002.
On July 22, 2002, we entered into a credit agreement with our owners to
memorialize the terms of certain of the loans described above. This credit
agreement also requires us to execute promissory notes to evidence the loans we
received from our owners from 2000 to 2002 as well as to evidence any new loans
we obtain from our owners. The loans each bear a fixed interest rate of 9% per
annum and are payable at maturity, including any applicable withholding taxes,
and mature ten years from the date of disbursement. We may be required to make
periodic payments of interest or principal on these loans if we jointly agree
with our owners to modify or accelerate their maturity dates. In addition, the
indenture governing our senior notes restricts the amount of indebtedness we can
incur and in some instances restricts how we can use the amounts we receive in
loans from our owners. For further discussion of our indebtedness to our owners,
see "Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions-Related Party
Transactions-Loans and Capital Contributions from Our Owners."

         We expect to continue to meet our additional ordinary course financing
requirements principally through cash flow from operations and, if needed,
additional capital contributions or loans from our owners. In the event of
significant expenditures or acquisitions, we could make use of other sources of
liquidity such as public or private offerings of equity and/or debt securities,
and/or commercial bank loans if they come available. Our owners have informally
committed to lend us up to approximately US$25.0 million during fiscal year
2003, based on our business plan. So far in 2003, we have not required any of
this funding, as our cash flow from operations has met our current needs. We
cannot assure you, however, that we will not require this funding from our
owners later this year, or that we will not require additional loans from our
owners in future years. We have no current arrangements with respect to sources
of additional financing other than our owners. We cannot assure you that
additional financing will be available to us or, if available, that such
financing can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. Our ability to obtain
future financing is limited by the terms of the indenture governing our 12 7/8 %
senior notes and

                                     - 53 -

<PAGE>

may be further limited by the terms of any future financing arrangements.
Failure to obtain future financing could delay or prevent our development and
expansion plans, impair our ability to meet our debt service requirements
(including our obligations with respect to the senior notes) or other
obligations (such as transponder service commitments), and have a material
adverse effect on our business. See "Item 3: Key Information-Risk Factors--Risk
Factors Related to Our Business--Our Significant Debt Levels Limit Our Ability
to Fund Our Operations and Could Lead to Difficulties in Obtaining New Sources
of Financing Required to Continue Operations."

(1)  In April 1997, Innova issued U.S. Dollar denominated senior unsecured fixed
     rate notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$375 million, with
     semi-annual interest payable at a rate of 12 7/8% per annum. See "Item 5.
     Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Liquidity and Capital
     Resources."

(2)  In 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 we received funding from our

     US$81.0 million, US$132.8 million and US$29.5 million respectively. These

(3)  In February 1999, Innova entered into a U.S. Dollar denominated agreement
     with PanAmSat for the use of 12 transponders on the PAS-9 satellite. The
     term of the agreement is for the expected economic useful life of the
     satellite, which was approximately 15 years at launch. Accordingly, under
     generally accepted accounting principles the agreement is accounted for as
     a capital lease, and we recognized on our balance sheet a satellite
     transponder asset and a corresponding liability equal to the net present
     value of the monthly payments of US$1.7 million over the 15 year term of
     the agreement. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects --

              RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

     We do not have any significant internal research and development programs.
We generally purchase any new technologies used to upgrade our services from our
suppliers.

                                TREND INFORMATION

         During the first quarter of 2003, we continued to grow our subscriber
base. As of March 31, 2003, we had approximately 779,700 subscribers, an
increase of 7.3% as compared with approximately 726,700 subscribers as of March
31, 2002. These subscriber numbers include approximately 41,400 commercial
subscribers as of March 31, 2003 and approximately 25,400 commercial subscribers
as of March 31, 2002. Our commercial subscribers generate substantially less
revenue per subscriber than our residential subscribers. We believe the increase
in subscriber activations is due to the quality of our programming content and
our promotional programs.

         We believe the main factor causing subscriber cancellations during the
first quarter of 2003, as with the last quarter of 2002, was the continuing
weakness in the Mexican economy. Nevertheless, we experienced a decrease in the
rate of subscriber cancellations as compared to the last four quarters. We
believe the main events causing subscriber cancellations during 2002 were the
new 10% tax on telecommunication services, the process of repointing of
antennas, the lack of rights to transmit the World Cup in June 2002 and the
economic recession.

         On June 2002 we executed an agreement with TV Azteca for the rights to
rebroadcast their over-the-air Channels 7 and 13 (including the right to delay
the broadcast of channel 13 on other DTH systems for up to 2 hours) for a
monthly fee of US$25,000 through the end of 2004. We also committed to purchase
up to US$10.6 million in advertising from them over three years in addition to
the Ps. 120.0 million in advertising we are paying to Televisa in 2003.
Additionally, we have the option to purchase from TV Azteca the right to
broadcast certain soccer matches for the soccer seasons 2002 through 2004 at a
price to be determined before initiation of each season and a non-exclusive
right to broadcast such matches on a delayed basis.

         We challenged certain provisions of Mexico's asset tax law that
prohibit us from deducting loans from non-Mexican sources from our asset tax
basis and in order to avoid penalties and interest payments in the event we
could lose the appeal, we paid approximately Ps. 43.2 million nominal (including
interest) of tax on assets for the year ended December 31, 2001 in March of
2002; approximately Ps. 45.2 million nominal in monthly payments during the year
ended December 31, 2002; and approximately Ps. 7.5 million nominal for the
months of January and February 2003. On March 19, 2003, the court issued a
resolution in our favor. Since the declaratory judgment was favorable to us, to
the extent that the Asset Tax Law is not amended, we will be able to deduct
debts payable to nonresidents from the asset tax basis. We are analyzing the
alternatives available to us to recover the amount of Ps.88.4 million (plus
interest and inflation effects) of payments made for the tax years 2001 and
2002; however, we can not assure you that we will successfully recover this
amount. Amounts paid for the months of January and February of 2003, have
already been recovered or credited to us. See "Item 10: Additional
Information--Taxation--Mexican Taxation" and "Item 5: Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects--Results of Operations - Provision for Taxes".

     On March 18, 2003, DIRECTV Latin America, LLC, or DLA, announced that it
had filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection, under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.
DLA cited its debt burden and high fixed costs and listed liabilities of US$1.6
billion as of the end of 2002. DLA also reported a loss of 54,000 net
subscribers in the first quarter of 2003 or 7% of its subscriber base. DLA is a
competitor of ours that provides DTH programming and services in Mexico through
an affiliated Mexican operating company, DIRECTV Mexico. According to its 2002
annual report, Hughes Electronics Corporation, or Hughes, owns approximately 75%
of DLA and holds significant indirect interest in DIRECTV Mexico. On April 9,
2003, News Corporation announced that it reached a definitive agreement with
General Motors Corporation and Hughes in which a subsidiary of News Corporation
would acquire General Motors' 19.9% stake in Hughes and a further 14.1% of
Hughes from public shareholders and General Motors' pension and other benefit
plans, for a total of 34% of Hughes. If the agreement is consummated a
subsidiary of News Corporation will transfer its 34% ownership interest in
Hughes' common stock to Fox Entertainment Group, Inc., an 80.6% owned News
Corporation subsidiary. The businesses contained in Hughes include a leading
U.S. satellite broadcaster DIRECTV, which has more than 11 million subscribers;
an 81% equity holding in satellite operator PanAmSat; and Hughes Network
Systems, a provider of broadband satellite network solutions.

     This agreement is subject to a number of conditions including the receipt
of required regulatory approvals in the United States and elsewhere, and no
assurance can be given that this acquisition will be consummated, or, if
consummated, that it will occur on the terms announced on April 9, 2003.
Additionally, our Social Part Holders Agreement provides that neither Televisa
nor News Corporation may directly or indirectly operate or acquire an interest
in any business that operates a DTH satellite system in Mexico (subject to
certain limited exceptions). If News Corporation were to consummate the proposed
acquisition of an interest in Hughes while Hughes continued to own an interest
in DIRECTV, News Corporation would become an indirect owner of DIRECTV Mexico,
our DTH competitor. Accordingly, under our Social Part Holders Agreement any
such acquisition of an indirect interest in the Mexican operations of DLA would
require the consent of us and Televisa. We cannot predict what impact either the
DLA bankruptcy or, if consummated, News Corporation's acquisition of an interest
in Hughes, will have on the competitive environment for DTH in Mexico. See "Item
3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our Business--We face
Intense Competition in the Pay Television Market in Mexico," and "--We Have
Significant Transactions With Our Owners Who Are Involved in Related Businesses
Which Creates the Potential for Conflicts of Interest," "--One of Our Owners,
News Corporation, May Acquire Significant Interests in DIRECTV, Our DTH
Competitor in Mexico, and PanAmSat, Our Sole Satellite Provider, and We Cannot
Predict What Effect This Will Have On Us" and "--Our Equity Holders Have, or May
Acquire, Interests in Other Pay Television Operations in Mexico Which Compete
with Us for Customers and Business Opportunities," and "Item 4: Information on
the Company--Business Overview--Competition."

In October 2002, Globopar announced that it will reevaluate its capital
structure due to significant devaluation of the Real, deteriorating economic
conditions in Brazil and significant reduction in credit available to Brazilian

                                     - 56 -

companies. Globopar and certain of its subsidiaries are rescheduling their
financial debt obligations and currently reviewing its business plans together
with certain holders of Globopar's bank debt and bonds. As a result of
Globopar's financial condition, since September 2002, Globopar has ceased
providing financial support to DTH TechCo and MCOP, and MCOP, in turn, has
ceased making payments to DTH TechCo, which payments, we believe, previously
accounted for over 50% of DTH TechCo's revenue. Televisa, News Corporation and
Liberty Media have begun funding DTH TechCo's operating cash shortfall through
loans and we understand that they currently intend to continue doing so.
However, our owners are not obligated to provide funding to DTH TechCo and we
cannot assure you that continued funding will be available. If, as a result of
its financial condition and restructuring, Globopar fails to make its
contributions to DTH TechCo, and its other owners, including Televisa, do not
make up the shortfall, then DTH TechCo's ability to provide service to us, and
our ability to provide services to our customers could be compromised. See "Item
3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our Business-- If Our
Affiliate DTH TechCo is Unable to Obtain Funding, It May Not Be Able to Provide
a Necessary Service for our Operations, Which Could Adversely Affect Our
Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

         On April 21, 2003 a U.S. Bankruptcy Judge authorized DLA to reject its
agreement for the exclusive rights, in several Latin America countries including
Mexico, to broadcast the 2006 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament. As a result, we
believe the programming disadvantage we faced in 2002, when DIRECTV Latin
America had the exclusive Latin American rights to broadcast the World Cup
soccer tournament, may be reduced. We cannot predict what effect this will have
on our ability to attract new subscribers or retain existing subscribers. See
"Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our Business--We
face Intense Competition in the Pay Television Market in Mexico," and "--We May
Not Be Successful in Expanding or Maintaining Our Subscriber Base."

</TABLE>

                                  COMPENSATION

     For the year ended December 31, 2002, we paid Ps. 14.4 million (nominal) in
aggregate compensation to our executive officers for their services in all
capacities. We did not pay any compensation to our directors and alternate
directors of the Board in 2002. We did not issue any stock options or provide
any pension, retirement or similar benefits to our directors, alternate
directors and executive officers in 2002.

                                 BOARD PRACTICES

     Our directors and alternate directors do not serve on the Board for limited
terms. They generally serve until replaced. Our directors and alternate
directors are not entitled to receive any benefits from Innova or its
subsidiaries upon their termination.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

     The Board has delegated certain responsibilities to an Executive Committee
that consists of Messrs. Azcarraga Jean, de Angoitia N., Vazquez O., Pontual,
Haggerty and Bracco. The alternate members of the committee are Messrs. Mijares
O., Balcarcel S., Lara del O., Jacobs, Carrillo G. and Ms. Wardynski. The
Executive Committee generally acts on matters in the absence of the Board of
Directors. Our equity holders must approve our annual audited financial
statements. Questions of executive compensation are considered, reviewed and
approved by the entire Board of Directors.

                                    EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 2002, we employed 1,834 people in Mexico, including
full-time and part-time employees, with approximately 87 in transmission and
technology related functions, approximately 510 in marketing and sales,
approximately 1,017 in client services and subscriber handling and approximately
220 in management, finance, personnel and administration. This represents an
overall decrease of 532 employees as compared to the end of December 2001. In
2002, we reduced the number of employees, primarily due to the end of special
projects such as the repointing of antennas and the Smart Card changeover, as
well as other adjustments in order to improve efficiency in our platform.

                                 SHARE OWNERSHIP

         All of our social parts are owned by subsidiaries of Televisa, News
Corporation, and Liberty Media. None of our directors, alternate directors or
officers own any direct equity interest in Innova, although they may own
indirect interests through their ownership of interests of Televisa, News
Corporation or Liberty Media. We do not sponsor any program whereby our
directors, alternate directors, officers, or employees may participate in our
capital.

</TABLE>

     SKY DTH is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Televisa. News DTH is an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of News Corporation. Liberty Mexico is an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media.

     The relations between our equity owners are governed by our bylaws and a
Social Part Holders Agreement among Televisa, News Corporation, Innova and its
owners, dated March 6, 1997. Our bylaws were amended on December 22, 1998 to
convert Innova into a limited liability company with variable capital and to
reflect the sale of a ten percent interest represented by the Series B-2 Social
Parts to Liberty Mexico.

SECURITIES HELD IN HOST COUNTRY

     All of our senior notes are held of record in the United States by one
record holder.

CONTROL

     Televisa, through its subsidiaries, owns approximately 60% of Innova's
total voting power, subject to certain provisions of the bylaws and the Social
Part Holders Agreement (discussed below). Our owners may only take significant
actions with the affirmative vote of both Televisa and News Corporation under
the bylaws and Social Part Holders Agreements. For a description, see "Item 10:
Additional Information--Bylaws." Under our Social Part Holders Agreement,
Televisa and News Corporation have agreed not to engage in the DTH business in
Mexico except through us. Televisa also owns interests in businesses that
compete with us for customers in the Mexican pay television market.
Specifically, Televisa controls and owns a majority interest in Cablevision, the
operator of Mexico's largest cable television system. See "Item 4: Information
on the Company--Business Overview--Competition--Cable Television and MMDS."

                           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     We have engaged in, and expect to continue to engage in, a significant
number and variety of related party transactions, including, but not limited to,
the transactions summarized in Note 9 of our financial statements. Note 9 to the
financial statements provides other information required to be made publicly
available in Mexico with regard to the interest of management in certain
transactions. Several other related party transactions not required to be listed
here are included as Exhibits to this document. We have not performed any
studies or analyses to determine whether the terms of past transactions with
related parties have been on an arms' length basis. Although we believe that
transactions with our affiliates are generally conducted on an arms' length
basis and at market prices, conflicts of interest are inherent in such
transactions. See "Item 3: Key Information-Risk Factors-Risk Factors Related to
Our Business-Our Equity Holders Have, or May Acquire, Interests in Other Pay
Television Operations in Mexico Which Compete with Us for Customers and Business
Opportunities;" and "--We Have Significant Transactions With Our Owners Who Are
Involved in Related Businesses Which Creates the Potential for Conflicts of
Interest."

LOANS AND CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OUR OWNERS

     We, and our subsidiary Novavision, owe our owners a total of US$309.9
million plus accrued and unpaid interest for loans extended to us by our owners
since our inception through March 31, 2003 (including a total of US$8.3 million
that has been loaned to Novavision). The loans were made by our owners in
proportion to each of their respective equity interests in Innova over the
period 1998 through 2002. The loans bear a fixed interest rate of 9% per annum
payable at maturity, including any applicable withholding taxes, and mature
between 2008 and 2012. We may be required to make periodic payments of interest
or principal on these loans if we jointly agree with our owners to modify or
accelerate their maturity dates. In June 2002, we entered into a credit
agreement with our owners to memorialize the terms of certain of these loans.
This credit agreement also requires us to execute promissory notes to evidence
the loans we received from our owners from 2000 to 2002 as well as to evidence
any new loans we obtain from our owners. We expect that our owners will provide,
if necessary, up to an aggregate amount of US$25.0 million to meet our cash
requirements during 2003, although they are not obligated to do so.

     During the period 1996 to 1999, we received capital contributions from our
owners in proportion to their respective equity interests in Innova in an
aggregate amount equal to US$149.0 million. This amount included forgiveness of
debt amounting to Ps. 424.0 million.

PROGRAMMING ARRANGEMENTS WITH RELATED PARTIES

     We obtain, and anticipate that we will continue to obtain, significant
programming on an exclusive DTH basis from Televisa and News Corporation under
our Social Part Holders' Agreement. We compete, in part, based on this exclusive
programming. In 2002 and 2001, we paid Ps. 179.0 million and Ps. 143.5 million
to News Corporation and Televisa affiliates for the exclusive broadcast of their
programming. We also have the option to engage the services of Sky Entertainment
Programming Latin America, a News Corporation affiliate, to acquire certain
programming products and services on a region-wide basis in Latin America, under
an Agency Agreement, dated July 3, 1997. For a description of the risks
associated with our programming arrangements, see "Item 3: Key Information--Risk
Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our Business--Our Ability To Attract
Subscribers Depends on the Availability of Desirable Programming from Third
Party Programmers" and "Item 4: Information on the Company-Business
Overview-Programming and Services."

     In addition, we had and continue to have the exclusive rights to
rebroadcast and distribute certain Mexican Soccer League programming from the
2001-2003 seasons and Mexican Boxing programming from the 2001-2002 seasons
under a separate agreement with Televisa. Specifically, these included the
exclusive transmission rights with respect to all TV media and local block-out
rights over 20% of the professional Mexican Soccer League programming during the
summer and winter seasons of 2001 and 2002; exclusive transmission rights with
respect to all TV media and local block-out rights over 10% of the professional
Mexican Soccer League programming during the summer season of 2003; exclusive
local block-out rights, limited to the relevant territory (Monterrey, Puebla or
Guadalajara), with respect to all TV media for all soccer matches where any of
the Monterrey, Puebla or Atlas teams is playing; and exclusive transmission
rights with respect to all TV media to all Mexican Boxing programming during the
calendar years 2001 and 2002. We paid and will pay Televisa a total of US$15
million over three years for the license to these events: US$6 million for all
programming which was licensed during 2001; US$6 million for all programming
which was licensed during 2002; and US$3 million for all programming licensed
through the end of the soccer summer season for the year 2003, subject to
set-off pursuant to all or agreement by the parties.

                                     - 62 -

<PAGE>

     During 2002 we entered in two separate agreements with Televisa to obtain
the exclusive pay-TV transmission rights of the reality shows Big Brother, Big
Brother VIP and Operacion Triunfo and to help fund the production of Big Brother
VIP and Operacion Triunfo. We broadcasted these reality shows through our
interactive channels 24 hours-per-day. We paid Televisa a total of US$6.0
million for the license to these events. During 2003 we negotiated again the
exclusive pay-TV transmission rights for the reality shows Big Brother 2 and Big
Brother VIP 2 with Televisa for a total amount of Ps. 28.0 million.

COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES

     Under our Social Part Holders Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, ,
Televisa and News Corporation have agreed not to directly or indirectly own,
manage, operate, control or finance and business or enterprise which operates a
competing DTH service in Mexico.

ONGOING SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS WITH OTHER RELATED PARTIES

     UPLINK SERVICES AGREEMENT

     DTH TechCo Partners, or TechCo, provides us with play-out and uplink
functions and related services such as head-end operation from two sites in the
United States: a main uplink facility in Miami Lakes, Florida and a redundancy
site in Port St. Lucie, Florida. In 2002, we paid Ps. 82.1 million to TechCo for
their services. TechCo is a partnership formed by Televisa, News Corporation
Globopar and Liberty Media, each of which indirectly holds a 30% interest in the
partnership, except Liberty Media, which indirectly holds a 10% interest. See
"Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our
Business--If Our Affiliate DTH TechCo is Unable to Obtain Funding, It May Not
Be Able to Provide a Necessary Service for our Operations, Which Could
Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

     In addition, Televisa provides us with uplink, downlink, playout and
compression services relating to locally-sourced programming from its Mexico
City facility. In 2002, we paid Ps. 38.5 million for these services.

     SYSTEMS AGREEMENTS BETWEEN INNOVA AND NDS

     We have ongoing agreements with NDS Group plc, or NDS, a public company and
majority owned subsidiary of News Corporation, to provide us with several key
systems. First, under a September 1996 agreement, NDS provides us the
conditional access system, including the Smart Cards necessary to decode the
signal at the subscriber's home, and equipment needed to digitize, compress,
encrypt and multiplex the signals transmitted to the satellite by our uplink
facilities. This agreement was amended in February 2000 to settle a dispute over
payment for certain software and to include new interactive television
technology. NDS also provides us with our current subscriber management system
under agreements dated October 29, 1996 and August 3, 1998. In 2002, we incurred
expenses of US$5.9 million with NDS for these systems and related services under
our agreements with them and we estimate our commitment under these arrangements
in 2003 will be approximately US$11.0 million.

     We are currently implementing a new Subscriber Management System, or SMS,
by using the software "Kenan" from CSG Software, Inc. Once the new SMS is placed
in service, our current agreements with NDS related to maintenance of Provider
II will terminate. We expect the new SMS will be placed in service in late
August 2003. See "Item 10: Additional Information-Material Contracts-New
Subscriber Management System Contract."

     GUARANTEES

     Televisa, News Corporation and Liberty Media have guaranteed our payments
to PanAmSat for transponder services on PAS-9 in proportion to their respective
beneficial interests in Innova. Corporacion de Radio y Television del Norte, S.
de R.L. de C.V., our subsidiary, entered a satellite services agreement with
PanAmSat on February 8, 1999. Under that agreement, we are obligated to pay a
monthly service fee of US$1.7 million to PanAmSat for satellite signal reception
and retransmission service from transponders on their PAS-9 satellite through
September 2015. The largest amount of this obligation outstanding through
December 31, 2002 was US$238.4 million and the amount outstanding as of June 1,
2003 was US$229.9 million. If we do not pay these fees in a timely manner, our
owners will be required to pay these fees. For more information about our
satellite operations, see "Item 4: Information on the Company-Business
Overview-Operations-Satellites."

     LEGAL SERVICES

     We have engaged the law firm of Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C.,
to advise us on various legal issues. Two of their partners, currently on leave
from the partnership, Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega and Juan Sebastian Mijares
Ortega, serve as members of our Board. Mr. de Angoitia is also the Secretary of
our Board, a member of our Executive Committee and the Executive Vice
President-Chief Financial Officer of our 60% owner, Televisa. Mr. Mijares is
also the Vice President -- General Counsel of Televisa. Neither Alfonso de
Angoitia Noriega nor Juan Mijares Ortega currently receive any form of
compensation from, or participate in any way in the profits of, Mijares,
Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C. We believe that the fees we paid for these
services were comparable to those that we would have paid another law firm for
similar services.

     ADVERTISING

     We engage the services of VISAT, a wholly owned subsidiary of Televisa, for
certain advertising and promotional efforts and to pool advertising time with
channels broadcast commonly among Televisa, Cablevision and Innova. VISAT
negotiates most of our advertising contracts with third party advertisers. Under
our agreement with VISAT, we receive from VISAT the amount of the advertising
sold on our behalf net of a commission that ranges from 18% to 21% for their
promotion, selling and collection services. In 2002, we paid VISAT an aggregate
of US$0.7 million in commissions on advertising sales of approximately US$3.6
million. We estimate that advertising sales generated by VISAT will total
approximately US$3.5 million in 2003. We also purchase magazine advertising
space and television and radio advertising time from Televisa in connection with
the promotion of our DTH satellite services and expect to continue to do so in
the future. We paid Ps. 128.0 million for these services in 2002 and expect to
pay Ps. 120 million for similar services in 2003.

     W RADIO CHANNEL

     In February 2003, we entered into a one-year agreement with Televisa Radio,
a subsidiary of Televisa, to broadcast, on a pay-television exclusive basis, W
Radio Channel, a news and entertainment radio station channel. The agreement
contemplates that each party will receive 50% of the advertising revenues
generated by W Radio Channel.

TAX SHARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN INNOVA AND TELEVISA

     Innova and Televisa are parties to a Tax Sharing Agreement dated March 6,
1997 which sets forth certain rights and obligations of Innova and Televisa in
respect of Innova's liability for taxes imposed pursuant to Mexico's Income Tax
and Asset Tax Law. Televisa received authorization from Mexican tax authorities
to include Innova's results in the consolidated tax return of Televisa and its
consolidated subsidiaries for purposes of determining income taxes and assets
tax beginning January 1, 1997. The tax profits or losses obtained by Innova are
consolidated with the tax profits or losses of Televisa up to 60% of Televisa's
percentage ownership of Innova. Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, in no
event shall Innova be required to remit to Televisa an amount in respect of its
federal income and assets taxes that is in excess of the product of (x) the
amount that Innova would be required to pay on an individual basis, as if Innova
had filed a separate tax return, and (y) with respect to asset taxes, Televisa's
direct or indirect percentage ownership of Innova's capital stock, and with
respect to income taxes, 60% of Televisa's direct or indirect percentage
ownership in Innova's capital stock, as determined by applicable law.

CALL CENTER AGREEMENT

     In June 2001, we purchased from Merkatel, our former call center service
provider and wholly owned subsidiary of Televisa, the equipment Merkatel used to
provide call center services to us, including computers, telephones, furniture,
and fixture along with other software, training materials and significant
transitional support for a total of Ps. 24.2 million plus value-added tax.

ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING

     Although our senior notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange,
there is no active trading market for the senior notes. We believe there is a

States. We also believe that more than one brokerage firm currently makes a
market in the senior notes in the over-the-counter trading market, although both
bid and ask quotations may be limited at times. Only limited trading data for
our notes has been publicly available since their original issuance in 1997. See

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

                                     BYLAWS

     Set forth below is a brief summary of some significant provisions of our
bylaws and Mexican law. This description does not purport to be complete, and is
qualified by reference in its entirety to our bylaws, which have been filed as
an exhibit to this annual report and Mexican law.

PURPOSE

     We are registered with the Public Registry of Commerce in Mexico City under
the commercial File (folio mercantile) No. 213223. Our corporate purposes are
enumerated in Article II of our bylaws. These include the installation,
operation and commercial exploitation of public telecommunications networks that
provide any type of public services, among them DTH television services. Our
corporate purposes also include general corporate actions such as investing in
other companies, acquiring securities, issuing bonds, contracting loans, leasing
or acquiring property, representing other entities as an agent, providing or
receiving technical services, producing works that may be subject to
intellectual property right protection, acquiring and granting permits and
concessions and executing agreements and contracts.

EQUITY AND VOTING RIGHTS

     Our equity consists of two series of partes sociales or social parts, the
Series A and the Series B. Only Mexican investors may acquire the Series A,
whereas Mexican and foreign investors may acquire the Series B. The Series A
must always represent at least the percentage of capital required to be held by
Mexican investors under Mexican law. Each social part must represent Ps. 100.00
of capital or a multiple thereof. Each member or social part holder is entitled
to one vote per Ps. 100.00 of capital represented by its social part. Our owners
are identified as social part holders in our bylaws, which are publicly filed in
Mexico. Under both Mexican law and our bylaws, there is no threshold at which a
social part holder or its holdings need be disclosed.

     In accordance with the authorization of the Secretary of Economy, dated as
of November 30, 2001, the company may issue Series N quotas representing up to
80% of the capital stock of the company, Series N quotas are considered as
neutral investment for the purposes of the Foreign Investment Law, previous
authorization of the Secretary of Economy, and that Series N bidders have
economic rights and the right to vote at shareholder's meetings only the
following matters:

         -    to extend the corporate existence;

         -    to dissolve the company;

         -    to change the corporate purposes or company's nationality; and

         -    to approve any transformation or merger involving the company.

     Afterwards, on July 30, 2002 our shareholders resolved to modify the
Article Sixth of the corporate by-laws of the company (Capital, Series and
Classes), adding the Series N, integrated by special quotas that may be issued
and considered as neutral investment for purposes of the Foreign Investment Law.
As of May 31, 2003 no social part of Series N has been issued.

     Generally, a vote of the majority of the social parts is sufficient to
adopt a resolution of our company's equity holders. However, the approval of
both the Series A and Series B-1 social part holders is required:

                                     - 65 -

<PAGE>

         -    to approve the audited financial statements;

         -    to declare and pay dividends;

         -    to name and remove Directors from the Board of Directors and
              establish, appoint, remove or dissolve any committees;

         -    to divide or redeem any social part interest;

         -    to require contributions or payments outside the Annual Budget or
              Business Plan;

         -    to issue warrants or other equity equivalents;

         -    to admit new members and assign any capital interests;

         -    to amend the bylaws;

         -    to approve capital increases and decreases or sales of capital
              interests;

         -    to dissolve the company;

         -    to appoint liquidators;

         -    to issue bonds; and

         -    to approve any transformation, merger or spin-off involving the
              company.

     The majority of the social part holders are entitled to determine how
earnings may be distributed, after legal reserves and capital reserves are
established. Any surplus left over after liquidation shall be distributed among
our members in proportion to their capital interest. Any changes in capital and
the admission of new members must be approved by both the Series A and Series
B-1 social part holders. Each member is entitled to subscribe for any increase
in capital in the same proportion as their percentage ownership interest prior
to the capital call.

     The rights of social part holders as defined in our bylaws may not be
changed without the approval of both the Series A and Series B-1 members.
Additionally, an equity owner may not transfer its equity stake without the
consent of the Series A and Series B-1 members. For additional information on
regulatory matters that could affect the rights of social part holders, see
"Item 4: Information On the Company--Business Overview--Mexican Regulation of
DTH Services."

MEETINGS

     Our members must meet at least once a year within four months of the close
of the fiscal year. Other meetings may be held at any time. The meetings are
convoked held after notice is issued by any of our Directors pursuant to
Mexico's General Law of Commercial Corporations. At least 15 days' notice is
required, unless waived by all members.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The Series A member is entitled to appoint six members of the Board of
Directors while the Series B-1 member is entitled to appoint four members of the
Board of Directors. Directors serve until they are replaced; our directors do
not stand for re-election in staggered terms. Pursuant to our bylaws, a majority
vote of our Board of Directors is generally sufficient for our Board of
Directors to take action. However, the approval of a majority, including at
least two directors selected by Televisa and two directors selected by News
Corporation, is currently required in order to authorize a number of significant
actions, including the following actions, subject to certain exceptions:

         -    the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer;

                                     - 66 -

                       ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

     We are organized under the laws of Mexico. Substantially all of our
directors, executive officers and controlling persons reside outside of the
United States, all or a significant portion of the assets of our directors,
executive officers and controlling persons, and substantially all of our assets,
are located outside of the United States and some of the experts named in this
annual report also reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may not
be possible for you to effect service of process within the United States upon
these persons or to enforce against them or us in U.S. courts judgments
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of
the United States. We have been advised by our Mexican counsel, Mijares,
Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., that there is doubt as to the enforceability,
in original actions in Mexican courts, of liabilities predicated solely on U.S.
federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Mexican courts of
judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors
-- Risks Factors Related to Our Business -- It May Be Difficult to Enforce Civil
Liabilities Against Us or Our Directors, Executive Officers and Controlling
Persons."

                               MATERIAL CONTRACTS

     Our agreements with related parties are described in "Item 7: Major
Shareholders and Related Party Contracts."

NEW SUBSCRIBER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONTRACT

     Through our subsidiary, Novavision, we entered into two related agreements
with CSG Software, Inc. (CSG), on June 12, 2002 under which CSG will provide:
(a) a non-exclusive, perpetual License for the use of the software "Kenan" to
provide billing and order management to licensed subscribers, besides
installation and implementation of the system to our business, training and
support services and, (b) consulting services.

     Under the Software License and Service agreement, we must pay US$3.4
million to CSG for a license capacity of up to 1,125,000 subscribers. However,
we can purchase additional capacity according to our subscriber base growth at
additional cost per every 100,000 subscribers. Technical support in Mexico will
be available for the first 24 months following the date on which we begin live
production of the system; the annual cost for these services is US$510,600 plus
US$75,000 for a 24x7 basis support. We are allowed to use the Kenan system to
provide billing and order management to licensed subscribers from other Latin
American DTH platform in case of merger, acquisition or combination of platforms
(except Sky Brazil). On December 27, 2002 we agreed to remove some applications
of the Kenan software, reducing the total license fees in US$500,000. We are
currently using a SMS called Provider II that we obtained from NDS. NDS will
continue to support Provider II until we complete the switch-over to the new
SMS. We expect the new SMS will be placed in service in late August 2003.

     Under the Consulting Services agreement, CSG will provide management and
technology consulting, advisory and integration services related to the
implementation of the Kenan end-to-end integrated solution, as well as the
required interfaces with our Siebel and NDS software currently on operation,
accordingly with an Implementation Planning and Analysis process (IPA),
previously agreed with Novavision. Total cost of US$4.4 million for these
services, will be payable upon completion of certain agreed milestones. CSG is
an enterprise with more than 20 years as customer care and billing expertise,
providing its services in more than 265 companies, and more than 40 countries.
For additional information about how we use the SMS and our agreement with CSG,
see "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors Related to Our
Business-- Our Ability to Provide Billing and Order Management to Our
Subscribers Depends on the Functionality and Flexibility of Our Subscriber
Management System, Which is Currently Being Replaced with a New System from a
New Supplier;" and "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business
Overview--Capital Expenditures" and "--Subscriber Management System."

ANTENNA RE-POINTING CONTRACT

     Through our subsidiary, Novavision, we entered into an agreement with NCR
de Mexico, on October 3, 2000 under which NCR re-pointed our existing
subscribers' antennas from Solidaridad 2, a satellite we no longer use for
signal reception and retransmission, to PAS-9, the newer satellite we currently
use for our satellite services. We paid NCR US$28.0 million under this
agreement. NCR began re-pointing our subscribers' antennas under this agreement
in November 2000 and finished in March 2002. The shutdown of this process and
Solidaridad 2 satellite,

                                     - 68 -

<PAGE>

caused us to lose approximately 13,000 subscribers, we do not know how many
reconnected back. Re-pointing costs were approximately US$35 million (NCR and
internal costs). We have no more obligations related with this agreement with
NCR.

SATELLITE TRANSPONDER SERVICES AGREEMENTS

     We currently receive satellite signal reception and retransmission services
from 12 Ku-band transponders on the PAS-9 satellite, owned by PanAmSat
Corporation.

     AGREEMENT WITH PANAMSAT.

     We entered an agreement with PanAmSat on February 8, 1999 for signal
reception and retransmission services from PAS-9. PAS-9 was launched on July 28,
2000 and became operational on September 8, 2000. The service term of the PAS-9
agreement ends at the earlier of: (a) September 2015 or (b) the date PAS-9 is
taken out of service. We must pay a monthly service fee of US$1.7 million for
service from all 12 transponders. We received a credit against the first US$11.7
million of service fees otherwise payable under the PAS-9 agreement. Televisa,
News Corporation and Liberty Media have guaranteed Innova's payments to PanAmSat
in proportion to their respective beneficial interests in Innova. PAS-9 was
manufactured by Hughes and its remaining useful life is estimated to be
approximately 14 to 16 years. Hughes (which holds an indirect interest in
DIRECTV Mexico, our DTH competitor) owns 81% of PanAmSat, while the original
founders own 10% and the remaining 9% is publicly held. Our service on PAS-9 is
not subject to pre-emption except in limited instances with respect to spare
transponder capacity. We have migrated our subscribers to PAS-9 for service by
re-pointing their antennas to this satellite. For more information about our
satellite operations, see "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business
Overview--Operations--Satellites."

     AGREEMENT WITH SATMEX

     We entered into an agreement with SatMex on April 1, 1999 to allow us to
use 12 Ku-Band transponders on Solidaridad 2 for signal reception and
retransmission. The agreement expired on December 31, 2001 but the Company
negotiated an extension from January 1 to March 31, 2002 in order to avoid an
interruption of service to those subscribers whose antennas had not been
re-pointed to the newer satellite, PAS-9. The extension of the service agreement
enabled us to arrange to have the antennas of approximately 30,000 additional
subscribers re-pointed to PAS-9 without an interruption in service. We were
obligated to pay SatMex a monthly service fee of US$1.752 million for satellite
signal reception and retransmission service from transponders on Solidaridad 2
through December 31, 2001. For the extension of the service, we paid to SatMex
US$1.5 million for the use of up to eight Ku-band transponders. Service from the
Solidaridad 2 satellite ceased on March 31, 2002.

CONCESSIONS

     We have been granted two concessions by the Mexican government that
authorize us to operate our DTH systems. These concessions are described under
the caption "Item 4: Information on the Company--Business Overview--Mexican
Regulation of DTH Services--Our Concessions." If we are unable to renew, or if
the Mexican government revokes either concession, we would not be able to
deliver our services. See "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors--Risk Factors
Related to Our Business-- The Operation of Our Business May Be Terminated or
Interrupted if the Mexican Government Does Not Renew or Revokes Our
Concessions."

                                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         We challenged certain provisions of Mexico's asset tax law that
prohibit us from deducting loans from non-Mexican sources from our asset tax
basis and in order to avoid penalties and interest payments in the event we
could lose the appeal, we paid approximately Ps. 43.2 million nominal (including
interest) of tax on assets for the year ended December 31, 2001 in March of
2002; approximately Ps. 45.2 million nominal in monthly payments during the year
ended December 31, 2002; and approximately Ps. 7.5 million nominal for the
months of January and February 2003. On March 19, 2003, the court issued a
resolution rendering part of article 5 of the Mexican Asset Tax Law
unconstitutional. This law had prohibited taxpayers from deducting debts payable
to nonresidents from the taxable asset's value. Since the declaratory judgment
was favorable to us, to the extent that the Asset Tax Law is not amended, we
will be able to deduct debts payable to nonresidents from the asset tax basis.
We are analyzing the alternatives to recover the amount of Ps.88.4 million (plus
interest and inflation effects) of amounts paid for the tax

                                     - 69 -

<PAGE>

years 2001 and 2002; however, we can not assure you that we will be successful
in recovering this amount. Amounts paid for the months of January and February
of 2003, have already been recovered or credited to us.

     At the end of December 2001, the Mexican Congress passed a series of tax
reforms. As a result of these tax reforms, subject to certain exceptions,
revenues from our pay television services are now subject to a 10% excise tax.
In February 2002, Cablevision, Innova, Skytel and a number of other companies in
the telecommunications and pay television industries filed amparo injunctive
proceedings challenging the constitutionality of this excise tax. Nonetheless,
we implemented rate increases on January 1, 2002 and took other actions
including lay-offs and reduction of capital expenditures and expenses in an
effort to mitigate, in part, the impact of this tax on our results of operations
and financial condition. We obtained a favorable ruling in this proceeding
regarding our 2002 liability for this tax, but this ruling does not entitle us
to recover any amounts paid for this tax in 2002, and we cannot assure you that
we will be able to recover any portion of the approximately US$18 million paid
for this excise tax during 2002.

     In December 2002 the Congress again acted to make this special tax
effective during fiscal year 2003, by adding or modifying some concepts included
in the original text of the law. The Congress does not need to ratify this
special tax every year, but modifications to the law could be made. In response,
we have filed a new amparo proceeding challenging the constitutionality of the
tax. Our action challenges the tax on grounds similar to those we raised last
year and we plan to follow a similar strategy as last year. We have been
informed that similar proceedings were also filed by Cablevision. We cannot
assure you that we will obtain a favorable resolution in these proceedings or
that we will be able to recover the amounts that have been or will be paid for
this tax. See "Item 4: Information on the Company -- Business Overview --Mexican
Regulation of DTH Services--Telecommunications Tax."

     In 2001, we decided to settle our suit for declaratory judgment regarding
the withholding tax on the interest paid to our bondholders given the complexity
of the subject matter and the potential tax liability if the declaratory
judgments (amparos) were not resolved in our favor. As a result, we withdrew the
declaratory judgments (amparos) and paid US$4.1 million of surcharges and
penalties in order to obtain a favorable resolution to apply the reduced rate of
4.9% withholding tax on the interest paid to bondholders. On January 24, 2001,
the tax authorities officially confirmed our right to apply the reduced rate of

                                    TAXATION

     The following is a general summary of certain anticipated U.S. federal
income and Mexican federal tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of
the senior notes, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of
all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to own and dispose
of the senior notes. This summary does not describe any tax consequences arising
under the laws of any state, locality or taxing jurisdiction other than the
United States and Mexico.

     This summary is based on the federal tax laws of the United States and
Mexico as in effect on the date of this Annual Report, as well as regulations,
rulings and decisions of the United States and rules and regulations of Mexico
available on or before such date and now in effect. All of the foregoing is
subject to change, possibly for U.S. federal income tax purposes with
retroactive effect.

     This summary does not constitute, and should not be considered as, legal or
tax advice to holders. Tax consequences of each individual holder of the senior
notes will depend upon the particular facts and circumstances of each such
holder. Accordingly, each person should consult with his or her own professional
advisor with respect to the tax consequences of his or her ownership and
disposition of the senior notes.

UNITED STATES/MEXICO TAX TREATY

     A convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation between Mexico and the
United States and a protocol to that convention (collectively referred to herein
as the "Tax Treaty"), are in effect. However, as discussed below under " --
Mexican Taxation", as of the date of this Annual Report, the Tax Treaty is not
generally expected to have any material effect on the Mexican tax consequences
described in this Annual Report. The United States and Mexico have also entered
into an agreement that covers the exchange of information with respect to tax
matters.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION

     This summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the
ownership and disposition of the senior notes is limited to holders of senior
notes that are U.S. Holders and will hold the senior notes as capital assets. As
used herein, a "U.S. Holder" includes a holder or beneficial owner of the senior
notes who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a citizen or individual
resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized
in or under the laws of the United States, or of any political subdivision
thereof, an estate, the income of which is includable in its gross income for
U.S. federal income tax purposes without regard to its source or a trust subject
to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control
of one or more U.S. persons, but excludes persons subject to special provisions
of U.S. federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, financial
institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities,
persons having a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, U.S.
expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, and holders that
will hold the senior notes as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion
transaction or other integrated investment comprised of the senior notes and one
or more other investments. Further, the discussion below does not address the
effect of any U.S. state or local tax law on a holder of the senior notes. This
discussion assumes that each holder of the senior notes will comply with the
certification procedures described below as may be necessary to obtain a reduced
rate of withholding under Mexican law. Each holder of a note should consult a
tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to such holder of the
ownership and disposition of the note, including the applicability and effect of
any state, local or foreign tax laws.

     INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

     Interest on the senior notes and additional amounts paid in respect of
Mexican withholding taxes imposed on payments on the senior notes ("Additional
Amounts") will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income. The amount of
income taxable to a U.S. Holder will include the amount of all Mexican taxes
withheld (as described below under "--Mexican Taxation") by the Company in
respect thereof. Thus, a U.S. Holder will be required to report income in an
amount greater than the cash it receives in respect of payments on its note.
However, a U.S. Holder may, subject to certain limitations, be eligible to claim
as a credit or deduction for purposes of computing its U.S. federal income tax
liability the Mexican taxes withheld, notwithstanding that the payment of such
taxes will be made by the Company. The rules relating to foreign tax credits and
the timing thereof are extremely complex and depend upon a U.S. Holder's
particular circumstances. In addition, under guidance released by the U.S.
Treasury Department, foreign tax credits will not be allowed for withholding
taxes imposed on an arrangement in which a U.S. Holder's reasonably expected
economic profit, after non-U.S. taxes, is insubstantial compared to the value of
the foreign tax credits expected to be obtained as a result of the arrangement.
The Internal Revenue Service has identified such an agreement as a "listed
transaction" (as defined below under "Tax Shelter Disclosure Regulations"). U.S.
Holders should consult with their own tax advisors with regard to the
availability of a foreign tax credit or deduction and the application of the
foreign tax credit rules to their particular situations.

     CONTINGENT PAYMENT DEBT INSTRUMENT REGULATIONS

     In general, if a debt instrument is subject to the U.S. Treasury
regulations governing the treatment of "contingent payment debt instruments"
(the "contingent debt regulations"), a U.S. Holder, including a U.S. Holder
using the cash method of tax accounting, must accrue interest income as
"original issue discount" over the term of the debt instrument based upon a
projected payment schedule (subject to later adjustments) provided by the issuer
and any gain and (subject to certain limitations) loss recognized by a holder
with respect to such instrument will be ordinary, rather than capital, in
nature.

     The application of the contingent debt regulations to instruments such as
the senior notes, which generally provide for interest payable at a fixed rate,
but also provide for Additional Amounts, is uncertain. If the contingent debt
regulations apply to the senior notes, U.S. Holders of senior notes would be
subject to the projected interest

                                     - 71 -

<PAGE>

accruals rules and ordinary income and loss treatment on dispositions as
summarized above. The Company believes that the contingent debt regulations were
not intended to apply to instruments such as the senior notes and, subject to
further clarification of the contingent debt regulations, intends to take the
position that the senior notes are not subject to those regulations. It is
conceivable, however, that the Internal Revenue Service could take the position
that Additional Amounts payable with respect to the senior notes constitute
contingent payments to which the contingent debt regulations apply. Under
certain characterizations, a U.S. Holder would be required to treat the senior
notes consistently with the Company's treatment, unless the holder files a
statement (disclosing the inconsistent treatment and the reason for such
inconsistent treatment) with its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for
the taxable year that includes the date of acquisition. Holders are urged to
consult their tax advisors to determine the possible application of the
contingent debt regulations to the senior notes.

     MARKET DISCOUNT AND BOND PREMIUM

     If a U.S. Holder purchases a 12 7/8% senior note at a price that is less
than its principal amount, the excess of the principal amount over the U.S.
Holder's purchase price will be treated as "market discount." However, such
market discount will be considered to be zero if it is less than 1/4 of 1% of
the note's principal amount multiplied by the number of complete years to
maturity from the date the U.S. Holder purchased such note.

     Under the market discount rules, a U.S. Holder generally will be required
to treat any partial principal payment on, and any gain realized on the sale,
exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a 12 7/8% senior note as ordinary
income (generally treated as interest income) to the extent of the market
discount which accrued but was not previously included in income during the
period the U.S. Holder held such note. If such note is disposed of in a
nontaxable transaction, for example, by gift (other than a non-recognition
transaction described in section 1276(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended), accrued market discount will be includible as ordinary income as if
the note had been sold at its then fair market value. In addition, the U.S.
Holder may be required to defer, until the maturity of the note or its earlier
disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the
interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry
such note.

     In general, market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the
period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the note, unless the
U.S. Holder makes an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis)
to accrue market discount under a constant yield method. A U.S. Holder of a 12
7/8% senior note may elect to include market discount in income currently as it
accrues (under either a ratable or constant yield method), in which case the
rules described above regarding the treatment as ordinary income of gain upon
the disposition of the note and upon the receipt of certain payments and the
deferral of interest deductions will not apply. The election to include market
discount in income currently, once made, applies to all market discount
obligations acquired on or after the first day of the first taxable year to
which the election applies, and may not be revoked without the consent of the
Internal Revenue Service. Such currently included market discount will increase
the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the note and generally is treated as ordinary
interest income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     A U.S. Holder that purchases a 12 7/8% senior note for an amount in excess
of the amount payable at maturity of the note will be considered to purchase the
note with "bond premium" equal to the excess of the U.S. Holder's purchase price
over the amount payable at maturity (or on an earlier call date if it results in
a smaller amortizable bond premium). A U.S. Holder of a 12 7/8% senior note may
elect to amortize such premium using a constant yield method over the remaining
term of the note (or until an earlier call date if it resulted in a smaller
amortizable bond premium) and to offset interest otherwise required to be
included in income in respect of such note by the amortized amount of such
excess for such taxable year. Such election, once made, is irrevocable without
the consent of the Internal Revenue Service and applies to all taxable bonds
held during the taxable year for which the election is made or subsequently
acquired. A U.S. Holder which does not make this election will be required to
include in gross income the full amount of interest on the note in accordance
with its regular method of tax accounting, and will include the premium in its
tax basis for the note for purposes of computing the amount of its gain or loss
recognized on the sale, exchange or retirement of the note.

     A U.S. Holder may elect to include in gross income under a constant yield
method all amounts that accrue on a 12 7/8% senior note that are treated as
interest for tax purposes (i.e., stated interest, market discount and de minimis
market discount, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium). U.S. Holders
should consult their tax advisors as to the desirability, mechanics and
collateral consequences of making this election.

                                     - 72 -

<PAGE>

     If the senior notes are subject to the contingent debt regulations,
described above, the foregoing market discount and bond premium rules will not
apply. Rather, upon the purchase of a 12 7/8% senior note at other than the
note's adjusted issue price, a U.S. Holder would be required to reasonably
allocate any difference between the "adjusted issue price" and the basis of the
note to the daily portions of interest or projected payments over the remaining
term of the note. Because of the complexity of the rules relating to bond
premium and market discount, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as
to application of these rules and as to the desirability, mechanics and
collateral consequences of making any elections in connection therewith.

     DISPOSITIONS

     Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a 12
7/8% senior note, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount
equal to the difference, if any, between such holder's adjusted basis in the
note and the amount realized on such sale, exchange or retirement. A U.S.
Holder's adjusted tax basis in a 12 7/8% senior note will generally equal the
cost of such note, increased by the amount of any market discount previously
included in the U.S. Holder's gross income, and reduced by the amount of any
amortizable bond premium applied to offset interest on the note (unless a 12
7/8% senior note is subject to the contingent debt regulations, described above,
in which case a U.S. Holder's basis in a note would be increased by interest
previously accrued on the note and decreased by the amount of any non-contingent
payment and the projected amount of any contingent payment previously made on
the note). A gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange,
retirement or other taxable disposition of a 12 7/8% senior note generally will
be a capital gain or loss (except with respect to amounts received upon a
disposition attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable
as ordinary income, and except if the senior notes are subject to the contingent
debt regulations, described above), and will be a long-term capital gain or
loss, if, at the time of the disposition, the note has been held for more than
one year. Any gain recognized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder on the sale,
exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of a note generally will
be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, which maximum tax rate will increase
under current law to 20% for dispositions occurring during taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2009. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax
advisors as to the foreign tax credit implications of a disposition of the
senior notes.

     BACKUP WITHHOLDING

     In general, "backup withholding" at a rate of 28% (which rate will increase
under current law to 31% for taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
2011) may apply to payments of principal and interest made on a 12 7/8% senior
note, and to the proceeds of a sale or exchange of a 12 7/8% senior note before
maturity within the United States, that are made to a non-corporate holder if
such holder fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or
otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.
The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and may be credited against
a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that correct
information is provided to the Internal Revenue Service.

     NON-U.S. HOLDERS

     A holder or beneficial owner of senior notes that is, with respect to the
United States, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien individual (a
"non-U.S. Holder") generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or
withholding tax on: (a) interest and Additional Amounts received in respect of
the senior notes, unless such payments are effectively connected with the
conduct by the non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States or
(b) gains realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of the senior notes,
unless: (i) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S.
Holder of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) in the case of a gain
realized by an individual non-U.S. Holder, the non-U.S. Holder is present in the
United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and
certain other conditions are met.

     TAX SHELTER DISCLOSURE REGULATIONS

     Recently issued U.S. Treasury regulations directed at tax shelter activity
require persons filing U.S. federal income tax returns to disclose certain
information if they participate in a "reportable transaction." A transaction
will be a "reportable transaction" if it is described in any of several
categories of transactions, which include transactions that are the same or
substantially similar to a transaction identified in a public IRS pronouncement
as a tax avoidance transaction (a "listed transaction"), transactions that
result in the incurrence of a loss or losses exceeding certain thresholds,
transactions that result in the existence of significant book-tax differences,
and transactions that

                                     - 73 -

<PAGE>

are offered under conditions of confidentiality. Each holder of a note should
consult with their tax advisors concerning such possible disclosure obligations.
There are pending in Congress legislative proposals that, if enacted, would
impose significant penalties for failure to comply with these disclosure
requirements.

MEXICAN TAXATION

     The following is a general summary of the principal consequences, under
Mexico's Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto sobre la Renta) (the "Law") and rules
as currently in effect, and under the Tax Treaty, of the ownership and
disposition of the senior notes by a holder that is not a resident of Mexico for
tax purposes and that will not hold the senior notes or a beneficial interest
therein in connection with the conduct of a trade or business through a
permanent establishment in Mexico (a "Foreign Holder") and such Foreign Holder
is not:

         -    holder of 10% or more of Innova's voting stock, directly or
              indirectly, jointly or individually, or

         -    a corporation or other entity, 20% or more of whose stock is
              owned, directly or indirectly, jointly or individually, by persons
              related to Innova, that in either case is the effective
              beneficiary, directly or indirectly, jointly or individually, of
              5% or more of the aggregate amount of any interest payment on
              senior notes. For these purposes, persons will be related if:

                 -   one person holds an interest in the business of the other
                     person and both persons have common interests; or

                 -   a third party has an interest in the business or assets of
                     both persons.

     For purposes of Mexican taxation:

         -    an individual is a resident of Mexico if such person has
              established his home in Mexico, unless such person has resided in
              another country for more than 183 days, whether consecutive or
              not, during a calendar year and can demonstrate that such person
              has become a resident of that country for tax purposes.

         -    A legal entity is a resident of Mexico if it is incorporated under
              Mexican law or if it maintains the main administration of its head
              office or business or the effective location of its management in
              Mexico.

         -    A Mexican citizen is presumed to be a resident of Mexico unless
              such person can demonstrate the contrary.

         -    A permanent establishment of a foreign person will be regarded as
              a resident of Mexico, and such permanent establishment will be
              required to pay taxes in Mexico for income attributable to it, in
              accordance with applicable law under a regime that differs from
              that applied to Foreign Holders.

     This summary is based upon the tax laws of Mexico as in effect on the date
of this Annual Report, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations
thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing are subject to
interpretations and to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and could
affect the continued validity of this summary.

     Each Foreign Holder should consult a tax advisor as to the particular
Mexican or other tax consequences to such Foreign Holder of owning, purchasing
and disposing of the senior notes, including the applicability and effect of any
state, local or foreign tax laws. This summary does not address the tax
consequences of the ownership, purchase or disposition of the senior notes by
Foreign Holders that do not fulfill the requirements described above.

     This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be
applicable to Foreign Holders of the senior notes and does not purport to be a
comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to
a decision by the Foreign Holder in respect of the owning, purchasing or
disposing such senior notes.

     INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL

     Under the Law, payments of interest (including amounts paid by Innova in
excess of the issue price of the senior notes or premiums which, under the Law,
are deemed to be interest) made by Innova in respect of the senior notes to a
Foreign Holder will be subject to a Mexican withholding tax assessed at a rate
of 4.9% if all of the following requirements are met:

         -    the senior notes are placed outside of Mexico through banks or
              brokerage houses, in a country with which Mexico has entered into
              a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation and such treaty is
              in effect;

         -    the senior notes are registered in the Special Section of the
              Mexican National Registry of Securities, and copies of such
              registration are provided to the Mexican Ministry of Finance and
              Public Credit;

         -    Innova timely files with the Mexican Ministry of Finance and
              Public Credit, certain information relating to the original
              issuance of the senior notes and the related prospectus; and

         -    Innova timely files with the Mexican Ministry of Finance and
              Public Credit, on a quarterly basis, information representing that
              no party related to Innova jointly or individually, directly or
              indirectly, is the effective beneficiary of 5% or more of the
              aggregate amount of each interest payment, and Innova maintains
              records that evidence compliance with this requirement.

     Innova has met the first three requirements and expects to timely file all
of the periodic information required by the fourth. Accordingly, Innova expects
to withhold Mexican tax from interest payments on the senior notes made to
Foreign Holders at the 4.9% rate in accordance with the Law rather than a 10%
rate that could apply under other circumstances. On January 24, 2001, the tax
authorities officially confirmed Innova's right to apply the 4.9% withholding
tax on interest paid to our bondholders. In the event that any of the above
information requirements are not met, under the Law, payments of interest on the
senior notes made by Innova to a Foreign Holder will be subject to a Mexican
withholding tax assessed at a rate of 10%.

     As of the date of this Annual Report, neither the Tax Treaty nor any other
tax treaty entered into by Mexico is expected generally to have any material
effect on the Mexican income tax consequences described in this Annual Report,
because, as discussed above, we expect that the 4.9% rate will apply in the
future and, therefore, that Innova will continue to be entitled to withhold
taxes in connection with interest payments under the senior notes at the 4.9%
rate.

     Foreign holders residing in the United States should nonetheless be aware
that under the Tax Treaty, the Mexican withholding tax rate applicable to
interest payments made to U.S. holders which are eligible for benefits under the
Tax Treaty will be limited to either:

         -    15% generally; or

         -    4.9% in the event that the senior notes are considered to be
              "regularly and substantially traded on a recognized securities
              market" or "loans granted by banks including investment banks and
              savings banks and insurance companies" within the meaning of the
              Tax Treaty.

     Other Foreign Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding whether
they reside in a country that has entered into a treaty for avoidance of double
taxation with Mexico which is effective, and, if so, the conditions and
requirements for obtaining benefits under such treaty. As of January 1, 2002,
the Mexican income tax law provides that in order for a Foreign Holder to be
entitled to the benefits under the treaties entered into by Mexico, it is
necessary for the Foreign Holder to meet the procedural requirements established
in the law.

     Foreign Holders or beneficial owners of the senior notes may be requested,
subject to specified exceptions and limitations, to provide certain information
or documentation necessary to enable Innova to apply the appropriate Mexican
withholding tax rate applicable to such Foreign Holders or beneficial owners. In
the event that the specified information or documentation concerning the Foreign
Holder or beneficial owner, if requested, is not provided prior to the payment
of any interest to that Foreign Holder or beneficial owner, Innova may withhold
Mexican tax from

                                     - 75 -

<PAGE>

that interest payment to that Foreign Holder or beneficial owner at the maximum
applicable rate, but Innova's obligation to pay Additional Amounts relating to
those withholding taxes will be limited.

     Under the Law, payments of interest made by Innova with respect to the
senior notes to non-Mexican pension or retirement funds will be exempt from
Mexican income tax and withholding taxes, provided that the fund: (i) is duly
organized pursuant to the laws of its country of origin (and is the effective
beneficiary of such interest), (ii) is exempt from income tax in such country
and (iii) is registered with the Mexican Ministry of Finance and Public Credit
for that purpose.

     Innova has agreed, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, to pay
Additional Amounts in respect of the above-mentioned Mexican withholding taxes
to Foreign Holders.

     Under the Law and the rules thereunder, a Foreign Holder will not be
subject to any Mexican withholding or similar taxes in connection with payments
of principal made by Innova in connection with the senior notes.

     DISPOSITIONS

     Capital gains resulting from the sale or other disposition of senior notes
by a Foreign Holder will not be subject to Mexican income or other taxes.

     OTHER TAXES

     A Foreign Holder will not be liable for Mexican estate, gift, inheritance
or similar taxes with respect to its holding, nor will it be liable for Mexican
stamp, registration or similar taxes.

Actual results could differ from those presented. Unless otherwise indicated,
all information below is presented on a Mexican GAAP basis in constant Pesos in
purchasing power as of December 31, 2002.

INTEREST RATE RISK

     We currently believe that any increase in interest rates in international
money markets is not likely to have a direct adverse impact on our financial
results or cash flows because our total debt, including the senior notes and the
loans received from stockholders, is U.S. dollar-denominated and bears fixed
rates of interest. Our results and cash flow could be affected if additional
financing is required in the future when interest rates are high in relation to
current market conditions. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, we were not a party
to any interest rate risk management transactions. We will evaluate from time to
time specific actions to cover our exposure to interest rate risk on
commercially acceptable terms.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE RISK

     The devaluation of the peso adversely affects our liquidity and results of
operations by increasing the peso equivalent of our U.S. dollar-denominated
indebtedness, operating costs and expenses. Our ability to meet our U.S.
dollar-denominated obligations is affected by changes in the relative values of
the peso against the U.S. dollar. To the extent that we are not able to obtain
dollars from our operations, capital contributions or borrowings in order to
meet our dollar-denominated obligations, we would be required to purchase U.S.
dollars on foreign exchange markets with pesos.

     We have substantial indebtedness and operating costs denominated in U.S.
dollars. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had US$ 936.0 million and
US$880.5 million of liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, respectively. Each
percentile point devaluation of the peso against the U.S. dollar and British
Pound Sterling would increase our current costs in pesos by an amount equivalent
to approximately Ps. 17.8 million and Ps. 0.1 million respectively. Also, under
this scenario, the exchange loss in pesos for the total U.S. dollar-denominated
indebtedness would amount to approximately Ps. 97.9 million and Ps. 85.4 million
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. It is unlikely
that we would be able to fully recover the negative impact in the costs and
expenses by increasing prices for our services when a devaluation of the peso
exceeds the annual rate of inflation. Our exposure to changes in exchange rates
for currencies other than the U.S. dollar and British Pound Sterling is not
material.

CURRENCY HEDGING

     In 2002, 2001 and 2000, we did not engage in any hedging or other
transactions related to the management of risks associated with foreign currency
or interest rate fluctuations. We may consider entering into transactions to
hedge the risk of exchange rate fluctuations in the future if we are able to
obtain hedging arrangements on commercially satisfactory terms.

INFLATION RISKS

     In general, the purchasing power of consumers tends to decrease during high
inflation periods since wages and salaries tend to rise less quickly than the
cost of living. This could adversely impact our revenues and cash flow as a
result of lower purchasing power of current or future potential subscribers and
decreased advertising revenues. In addition, we, like most companies in our
sector, may not be able to fully recover our rising costs and compensate for
increases in interest rates during high inflationary periods through raising our
prices. The potential adverse impact of a hyper-inflationary environment on the
results has not been evaluated in light of the success of the Mexican
Government's current anti-inflationary policy.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Within the 90-day period prior to the date of this Form 20-F, we carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Exchange Act. Based
on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

     There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of
their evaluation, including any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses
of internal controls that would require corrective action.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Mexico, D. F., January 31, 2003, except for Note 13.c,
for which the date is March 19, 2003.

To the Stockholders of
Innova, S. de R. L. de C. V.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innova, S. de R.
L. de C. V. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") as of December 31,
2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of loss, of changes in
stockholders' (deficit) and of changes in financial position for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 all expressed in Mexican
pesos. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America and Mexico. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innova, S. de R. L.
de C. V. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of
their operations, the changes in their stockholders' (deficit) and the changes
in their financial position for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in Mexico.

                                       F-2

<PAGE>

Accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico vary in certain significant
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of
the consolidated net loss for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002, and the determination of consolidated stockholders' (deficit)
at December 31, 2002 and 2001 to the extent summarized in Note 21 to the
consolidated financial statements.

                   INNOVA, S. DE R.L. DE C.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       (Expressed in thousands of Mexican Pesos in purchasing power as of
                               December 31, 2002)

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND ITS PRINCIPAL OPERATIONS:

Description of business:

Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Innova" or the "Company"), a Mexican company with
limited liability and variable capital, provides direct-to-home ("DTH")
broadcast satellite pay television services in Mexico under the SKY brand name.
Innova is a joint venture indirectly owned by Grupo Televisa, S. A. ("Televisa")
(60%), The News Corporation Limited ("News Corporation") (30%) and Liberty Media
International, Inc. ("LMI") (10%). The Company and its subsidiaries are
collectively referred to as the Group.

The Group's business requires a concession (license granted by the Mexican
federal government) to operate. On May 24, 1996, the Ministry of Communications
and Transportation (the "SCT") ratified the concession granted to a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company to offer DTH satellite broadcasting services in Mexico
using domestic satellites. The concession is for a period of thirty years,
beginning May 24, 1996, and renewable in accordance with Mexican Communications
Law. On November 27, 2000, the SCT, granted to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company a concession to provide its broadcasting services using foreign
satellites. The concession is for a 20-year period, effective November 27, 2000
and may be extended in accordance with Mexican Communications Law.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in Mexico ("Mexican GAAP") as
promulgated by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants ("MIPA"). A
reconciliation from Mexican GAAP to United States generally accepted accounting
principles ("U.S. GAAP") is included in Note 21.

The principal accounting policies followed by the Group are as follows:

a. Basis of presentation -

The financial statements of the Group are presented on a consolidated basis. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

                                       F-8

<PAGE>

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year basis of presentation.

b. Members of the Group -

At December 31, 2002, the Group consists of the Company and the following
wholly-owned subsidiaries:

-  Corporacion de Radio y Television del Norte de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V.

-  Corporacion Novavision, S. de R. L. de C.V.

- Corporacion Novaimagen, S. de R. L. de C.V.

-  Servicios Novasat, S.  de R.L. de C.V.

-  Servicios Corporativos de Telefonia, S. de R. L. de C.V. ("SECOTEL")

SECOTEL was formed in July 2001, when the Company purchased from Televisa the
call center which was providing services to the Group (Note 8).

c. Cash and cash equivalents -

The Group considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with original
maturities of three months or less, consisting primarily of overnight deposits,
obligations of the Mexican Government, deposits and bonds in US financial
institutions to be cash equivalents.

d. Property and equipment -

Property and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost and thereafter are
restated using the National Consumer Price Index ("NCPI"), except for equipment
of a non-Mexican origin, which are restated using an index which reflects the
inflation in the respective country of origin and the exchange rate of the
Mexican peso against the currency of such country at the balance sheet date
("Specific Index"). Maintenance costs for technical equipment are reserved based
on management estimates. Actual costs are applied against the applicable reserve
when incurred. Repair and maintenance costs for computer equipment and
integrated receiver/decoder ("IRDs") are expensed as incurred.

Installation costs of antennas, low noise block ("LNB") and accessories in
subscribers' homes or businesses are capitalized in the line item antennas, LNBs
and accessories, and are amortized over the useful life of the asset, which is
three years.

                                       F-9

<PAGE>

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the accumulated
depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts and any gain or loss is
included in results of operations.

External costs incurred for internal use software are capitalized in computer
equipment and depreciated over three years.

e. Spare parts -

Spare parts inventory are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The cost of spare parts utilized is charged to income when utilized.

f. Depreciation -

Depreciation of property and equipment is based upon the restated carrying value
of the assets and is recognized using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 10 years. Land,
equipment in progress and advances to suppliers are not depreciated.

g. Preoperating expenses -

The Group deferred preoperating expenses incurred prior to the launch of its
satellite pay television services in December 1996. Amortization was calculated
using the straight-line method over a term of five years and was first recorded
in December 1996, with the commencement of operations. The preoperating expenses
were fully amortized in November 2001.

h. Seniority premiums and indemnities -

The Group established, in accordance with Mexican law, a seniority premium
liability for its employees. The liability is calculated by an independent
actuary using the projected unit credit method. The labor obligation is
calculated using real rates of interest (net of inflation) and the resulting
asset or liability is considered a non-monetary item. The seniority premium
liability is unfunded. Seniority premium payments are charged to the liability
at the time they are made.

Severance obligations to dismissed personnel are charged to income in the year
in which they are incurred.

i. Foreign currency -

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported
at the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
on monetary assets and liabilities are included in income for the period and
reflected in the integral result of financing. Revenues and expenses denominated
in foreign currencies are reported at the exchange rates in effect when
recognized.

                                      F-10

<PAGE>

j. Revenue recognition -

Program service revenues are recognized on a monthly basis as DTH service is
provided. Program service revenues paid in advance are deferred until earned.

Through September 30, 2000, the Group sold the DTH antenna, LNB and remote
control to wholesale distributers, who inturn sold the unit to customers.
Revenue was recognized upon the sale of the unit to the wholesale distributer.
Beginning October 1, 2000, the Group began providing the DTH antenna, LNB and
remote control to customers along with the IRD, but has retained title to the
equipment. The IRD is included in fixed assets and is rented to customers under
an operating lease. Rental revenues are recognized on a monthly basis.

Advertising revenues are recognized at the time the advertising services are
rendered.

k. Capitalized financing costs -

The Group capitalizes the integral financing costs attributable to acquired
assets during installation and preoperating expenses. Capitalized integral
financing costs include interest costs, gains from monetary position and foreign
exchange gains or losses, and are determined by reference to the Group's average
interest cost for outstanding borrowings. No amounts were capitalized in 2002,
2001 and 2000.

l. Concentrations -

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
trade accounts receivable. The Group maintains its cash and cash equivalents
with various major financial institutions and are principally invested in
obligations of the U.S. and Mexican governments. Concentration of credit risk
with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of
customers throughout Mexico. The Group's policy is to require one month's
payment in advance, to reserve for all accounts receivable greater than ninety
days and to write off against the reserve all receivables greater than 120 days.
Bad debt expense was Ps.110,827 in 2002, Ps.174,058 in 2001 and Ps.37,893 in
2000 (Note 4).

In order to provide DTH service to customers, the Group relies on the use of 12
KU-band transponders on the PAS 9 satellite. The use of these transponders is
unprotected and, as a result, any long term disruption to one or more of the
transmission signals could have a material adverse effect on the Group.

m. Comprehensive loss -

Comprehensive loss represents the net loss for the period presented in the
income statement plus other results for the period reflected in stockholders'
equity which are from non-owner sources (Note 19).

                                      F-11

<PAGE>

n. Evaluation of long-lived assets

The Group evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets to determine
whether current events or circumstances warrant adjustment to the carrying
value. Such evaluation may be based on current and projected income and cash
flows from operations as well as other economic and market variables.

o. Income tax -

Beginning January 1, 2000, the Group adopted the guidelines of amended Bulletin
D-4, "Accounting Treatment of Income Tax, Tax on Assets and Employee Statutory
Profit Sharing", issued by the MIPA. Under Bulletin D-4, deferred income taxes
are calculated using the comprehensive asset and liability method, which
consists of calculating deferred income tax by applying the respective income
tax rate to the temporary differences between the accounting and tax values of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

In accordance with the guidelines established in Bulletin D-4, the net accrued
effect as of January 1, 2000 was recorded directly to stockholders' deficit. The
accrued effect required the recognition of a net deferred tax asset and
corresponding valuation allowance of Ps.2,170,028, at January 1, 2000, because
available evidence did not indicate that there was a high probability of future
taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset. Subsequent changes in deferred
tax assets and liabilities and valuation allowances are recognized in income.

p. New accounting bulletins -

In December 2001, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-9, "Liability, Provisions,
Contingent Assets and Liabilities, and Commitments". Bulletin C-9 provides
guidance for the valuation, presentation and disclosure of liabilities and
provisions (other than income taxes, employee benefit plans, financial
instruments to be valued on a fair value basis and asset allowances), including
contingent assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure guidelines for
commitments incurred by an entity as a part of its operations. Bulletin C-9 is
effective as of January 1, 2003, with earlier adoption permitted.

In January 2002, 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 definition
of research and development costs requiring that only development costs could be
deferred to a future period. Furthermore, Bulletin C-8 states that preoperating
costs should be expensed as a period cost, unless they can be classified as
development costs. Bulletin C-8 requires that intangible assets, including
previously existing intangible assets, with indefinite useful lives not be
amortized, but be tested for impairment annually. Intangible assets with finite
lives continue to be amortized over their economic life. Bulletin C-8 is
required to be applied on January 1, 2003, although early adoption is
recommended.

                                      F-12

<PAGE>

The Group is currently evaluating the impact of these Bulletins on its results
of operation and financial position. However, the Group does not believe that
the adoption of these Bulletins will have a material impact on its results of
operations and financial position.

NOTE 3 - EFFECTS OF INFLATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in
accordance with Bulletin B-10, "Recognition of the Effects of Inflation on
Financial Information", as amended, ("Bulletin B-10"), which provides guidance
for recognizing the effects of inflation. The financial statements of the Group
are presented in Mexican Pesos in purchasing power as of December 31, 2002 in
order to be comparable to financial information as of that date, as follows:

-  The balance sheets have been restated in Mexican Pesos in purchasing power as
   of December 31, 2002 using the NCPI as of December 31, 2002.

-  The statements of loss and changes in stockholders' deficit have been
   restated in Mexican Pesos in purchasing power as of December 31, 2002 using
   the NCPI for the month in which the transactions occurred.

The restatement of the financial statements has been applied in accordance with
Bulletin B-10 guidelines as described below:

Restatement of non-monetary assets -

Property and equipment, except for equipment of non-Mexican origin, are restated
using the NCPI. Equipment of non-Mexican origin is restated by the Specific
Index. The Specific Index is derived from inflation in the country of the
assets' origin and the foreign currency exchange rate of the Mexican Peso
against the currency of such country.

Property and equipment in use at the beginning of the year is depreciated based
upon the restated carrying value of the assets and is recognized using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additions
during the year are depreciated based on the restated value.

Restatement of satellite transponders -

Satellite transponders are restated using the Specific Index.

Restatement of stockholders' deficit -

Capital stock and other stockholders' deficit accounts (other than deficit from
restatement) include the effect of restatement, determined by applying the NCPI
factor to the applicable period. The restatement represents the amount required
to maintain the contributions and the accumulated results in Mexican Pesos in
purchasing power as of December 31, 2002. The deficit / surplus from restatement
includes the result from holding non-monetary assets and is the

                                      F-13

<PAGE>

cumulative difference between the cost of the non-monetary assets restated using
NCPI and the restatement of such assets using the Specific Index.

Integral results of financing -

The gain or loss from monetary position represents the effects of inflation, as
measured by the NCPI, on the monetary assets and liabilities of the Group at the
beginning of each month. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
monetary liabilities exceeded monetary assets, resulting in gains from monetary
position during the periods.

Statement of changes in financial position -

Bulletin B-12, "Statements of Changes in Financial Position" ("Bulletin B-12"),
issued by the MIPA, specifies the appropriate presentation of the statement of
changes in financial position when the financial statements have been restated
in constant monetary units in accordance with the Third Amendment to Bulletin
B-10. Bulletin B-12 identifies the generation and application of resources as
the differences between beginning and ending financial statement balances in
constant monetary units. The Bulletin also requires that monetary and foreign
exchange gains and losses not be treated as non-cash items in the determination
of resources provided by operations. The translation effects of operating assets
and liabilities are included in the stated change of the related item.

Other accounts -

The following accounts are restated using the NCPI:

Preoperating expenses and related amortization
Debt issuance costs and related amortization
Leasehold improvements and related amortization
Intangible assets and related amortization

National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) -

Restatement of the financial statements to Mexican pesos in purchasing power as
of December 31, 2002, in accordance with the Third Amendment to Bulletin B-10,
requires restatement of the results for each month during each year using a
factor derived from the change in the NCPI. The NCPI as of December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000 was 102.904, 97.354 and 93.248, respectively.

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was
Ps.734,748, Ps.713,235 and Ps.651,244, respectively. The Group recorded an
impairment loss on certain transmission equipment and other equipment not in use
of Ps.30,776 (which was included in "Transponder services -Solidaridad 2 and
reorientation cost" line item) and Ps.11,458 (included in "Depreciation and
amortization" line item) during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2000,
respectively. No impairment was needed during 2001.

As of April 2002, the Group stopped utilizing the service of the Solidaridad 2
satellite, continuing only with the services provided by the PAS-9 satellite. At
that date, transmission equipment with a book value of Ps.38,342 associated with
Solidaridad 2 was held by the Group and the Group decided to recognize an
impairment charge amounting to Ps.30,776 for the equipment that could not be
utilized by the PAS-9 satellite, and to create a spare-part inventory for the
remaining Ps.7,566 of transmission equipment that could be utilized by the PAS-9
satellite.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, IRDs, transmission equipment, computer equipment
and transportation equipment include restated assets which are of a non-Mexican
origin of Ps.425,112 and Ps.711,061, respectively, net of accumulated
depreciation. Computer equipment includes Ps.16,301 and Ps.42,815 of capitalized
software costs as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

NOTE 6 - SATELLITE TRANSPONDERS:

On February 8, 1999, the Group and PanAmSat Corporation ("PanAmSat") entered
into a new agreement for satellite signal reception and retransmission service
from 12 KU-band transponders on a new satellite ("PAS-9"), which became
operational in September 2000. The service term for PAS-9 will end at the
earlier of (a) the end of 15 years or (b) the date PAS-9 is taken out of
service. The Group is committed to pay a monthly fee of U.S.$1.7 million. The
Group received a credit against the initial service fees of U.S.$11.7 million
paid under the new agreement.

The concession authorizing the use of PAS-9 was granted by the Federal
Government through the SCT in November 2000. Under the terms of this concession,
the Group is bound to offer the service of paid television via DTH satellite for
a three-year term starting in November 2000, in the Municipalities or City
Districts where 40% of the total population of the coverage area dwells in, as
per the most recent census information available. The process of migrating
customers from Solidaridad 2 to PAS-9 started in November 2000 and ended in
March 2002. The Group stopped using the services of Solidaridad 2 in early April
2002.

NOTE 10 - SENIOR NOTES:

In 1997, the Group concluded an offering of senior debt securities, priced to
yield gross proceeds of U.S.$375 million, which mature in April 2007 ("Senior
Notes"). The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 12 7/8% and are redeemable
at the option of the Group, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April
1, 2002, initially at 106.4375% of their principal amount, plus accrued
interest, declining ratably to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued
interest, on or after April 1, 2004. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable
semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 1997.
The Senior Notes, which are uncollateralized, unsubordinated indebtedness of the
Group, contain certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the ability
of the Company and certain subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional
indebtedness, make certain dividend, investment or other restricted payments,
issue or sell stock of certain subsidiaries, enter into certain transactions
with stockholders or affiliates, create liens, engage in sales-leaseback
transactions, sell assets (except IRDs), or with respect to the Group,
consolidate, merge, or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The
indenture agreement required the Group to purchase and pledge as security for
the benefit of the holders of the Senior Notes a portfolio of U.S. Government
Securities for a three-year period which ended in March 2000.

NOTE 11 - STOCKHOLDERS' LOANS:

During 1999, the Group's stockholders agreed to make available to the Group up
to U.S.$67.5 million in loans and up to U.S.$64.5 million in capital
contributions. The loans and capital contributions were based on the monthly
funding requirements of the Group, but were not to exceed the above maximums. On
May 8, 2000, the Group signed an agreement which establishes that the
stockholders would fund, in debt, on a pro rata basis, the amounts required
under the Group's approved Business Plan; provided, however, that the aggregate
amounts of such debt funding during 2000 would not exceed U.S.$72.2 million. The
Group's stockholders' have provided debt funding in excess of the amounts
contained in the agreement.

During 2002 and 2001, the Group borrowed a total of U.S.$29.5 million and
U.S.$132.8 million, respectively, from its stockholders on a prorata basis. This
amount was determined based on its cash flow needs.

Each stockholder loan, plus accrued interest, is payable in full ten years from
the date of issuance. The maturity date of any individual loan may be
accelerated or otherwise modified including by means of providing for periodic
payments of interest or principle upon joint agreement of the stockholders and
the Group. Each loan will bear interest at an annual rate of 9%. Interest paid
to foreign companies will be net of the 15% withholding tax.

The Company expects that its stockholders will provide, if necessary, up to an
aggregate amount of US$25 million to meet the Group's cash requirements during
2003.

The Group has received loans of U.S.$309.9 million as follows:

companies and other related parties, the carrying amounts approximate fair value
due to the short maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of the Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices. The
estimated fair value of these instruments at December 31, 2002 and 2001 is as
follows (amounts in thousands):

<TABLE>

</TABLE>

The Senior Notes are thinly traded financial instruments. Accordingly, their
market price at any balance sheet date may not be representative of the price
which would be obtained in a more active market.

Management is unable to estimate the fair value of the stockholders' loans due
to their nature.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

a.  In 1996, the Group signed an agreement with an affiliate of News Corporation
    to acquire and implement a conditional access system. This system includes
    Smart Cards which decode satellite signals and control access by
    subscribers. In 1999, the Group acquired a subscriber management system
    (SMS) designed specifically for DTH services. Under these arrangements, the
    Group estimates that the 2003 commitment will approximate U.S.$11 million
    for royalties, licenses and maintenance of the foregoing systems. In 2002,
    2001, and 2000, the Group incurred expenses of US$5.9 million, US$9.7
    million and US$8.4 million, respectively.

    The Group has entered into agreements with Televisa and an affiliate of
    Televisa to provide uplink and downlink, playout and compression services at
    the Mexico City station. The annual commitments are estimated to be
    approximately U.S.$4.3 million per year. The Group incurred expenses of
    US$3.9 million in 2002 and US$3.8 million in each of 2001 and 2000.

    The Group entered into several contracts with programming providers,
    establishing that the amounts payable to the programmers will be based on
    the number of subscribers. These charges totaled Ps.657.3 million, Ps.650.3
    million and Ps.517.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and
    2000, respectively.

b.  Since January 1st 2002, a 10% excise tax was imposed on the collected
    revenues from the Group's pay television services. In February 2002, the
    Group filed a petition for constitutional relief against the Legislative
    Decree, which contains the amendments to the Law regarding the excise tax.
    The respective judgment is pending. Notwithstanding that the Company has
    filed

                                      F-23

<PAGE>

    the aforementioned petition, it is currently paying the corresponding
    tax as per the provisions of the Legislative Decree.

c.  Under Mexican Tax Law, the Company and its subsidiaries, on an individual
    basis, must pay the higher of the income tax or the assets tax as determined
    annually. The assets tax is equal to 1.8% of a company's assets less certain
    liabilities. The Company and most of its subsidiaries were exempt from the
    assets tax from their formation in 1996 through December 31, 1999.

    Article 5 of the Asset Tax Law specifies that foreign debt is excluded in
    determining the assets tax. In 2000, the Group filed a declaratory judgement
    with the Federal Tax Court seeking to be able to deduct foreign debt in
    calculating the assets tax based on the unconstitutionality of this
    provision of Article 5 as previously determined by the Supreme Court of
    Justice. The tax authorities had opposed the Group's declaratory judgement
    and issued a tax ruling that the Group must exclude foreign debt in
    determining the assets tax.

    The Group filed a petition challenging the constitutionality of this
    provision of Article 5 of the Asset Tax Law.

    In order to avoid incurring penalties or interest, the Group paid Ps.$45.2
    million in monthly payments during 2002, Ps.43.2 million in March 2002,
    corresponding to the assets tax due for fiscal year 2001 and Ps.7.5 million
    for the months of January and February 2003.

    On March 19, 2003, the court issued a favorable ruling allowing to the Group
    to deduct foreign debt in calculating the assets tax. The Group is analyzing
    various alternatives available to it in order to recover the total assets
    tax payments of Ps.95.9 million made to date.

d.  The Group entered into two related agreements with CSG Software, Inc. (CSG),
    on June 12, 2002 under which CSG will provide: a) A non-exclusive, perpetual
    license for the use of the software "Kenan" to provide billing and order
    management to licensed subscribers, besides installation and implementation
    of the system, training and support services and, b) consulting services.

    Under the Software License and Service Agreement, the Group must pay US$3.4
    million to CSG for a license capacity of up to 1,125,000 subscribers.
    However, the Group can purchase additional capacity according to the
    subscriber base growth at an additional cost per every 100,000 subscribers.
    Technical support in Mexico will be available for the first 24 months
    following the date on which live production of the system begin, the annual
    cost for these service will be US$585,600. It is possible in accordance with
    the agreement to use the Kenan system from other DTH platform in case of
    merger, acquisition or combination of platforms. On December 27, 2002 the
    Group agreed to remove some applications of the Kenan software, reducing the
    total license fees in US$500,000. The Group expects that the new SMS will be
    placed in service in late August 2003.

                                      F-24

<PAGE>

    Under the Consulting Services agreement, CSG will provide management and
    technology consulting, advisory and integration services related to the
    implementation of the Kenan end-to-end integrated solution, as well as the
    required interfaces with the Group's Siebel and NDS software currently on
    operation, accordingly with a Implementation Planning and Analysis process
    (IPA), previously agreed with the Group. Total cost of US$4.4 million of
    these services, will be payable upon completion of certain agreed
    milestones.

e.  On June 2002, the Group executed an agreement with TV Azteca to begin paying
    them for the rights to rebroadcast their over-the-air Channels 7 and 13. It
    has also committed to purchase up to US$10.6 million in advertising from TV
    Azteca over three years and received rights to broadcast certain soccer
    matches and an option for exclusive broadcast rights after 2004. Prior to
    May 1, 2002, the Group was permitted to rebroadcast these channels at no
    cost.

NOTE 14 - CAPITAL STOCK:

The capital stock as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, is represented by three
partnership interests of unequal value, distributed as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Partnership
 interest       Subseries              Amount
 --------       ---------              ------
<S>             <C>                <C>

     1             B-2                    191,311
</TABLE>

Series "A" is composed of a partnership interest initially representing 60% of
the total capital stock. The Series "A" partnership interest may be subscribed
to only by persons of Mexican nationality.

Series "B" is composed of a partnership interest initially representing 40% of
the total capital stock. The Series "B" partnership interest is unrestricted as
to ownership and therefore, may be acquired by Mexican investors and foreign
natural and legal persons or by persons, companies or entities that are included
in Article 2, Section III of the Foreign Investments Law.

During 1999, the Group received cash contributions of U.S.$29.4 million,
U.S.$14.7 million and U.S.$4.9 million from Televisa, News Corporation and LMI,
respectively.

Dividends paid will be free of income tax if paid out of the Net Taxable Income
Account (CUFIN). A 34% rate will be paid on the amount exceeding the balance of
the CUFIN by multiplying the dividend paid by the 1.5152 factor. The applicable
tax since 2003 will be payable by the Group, and it may be credited against
income tax the Group is subject to in the fiscal year that the Group pay the
dividends or in the subsequent two fiscal years. Dividends paid will not be
subject to any tax withholding.

The ability of the Group to declare dividends is restricted by the Senior Note
indenture.

NOTE 15 - TRANSPONDERS SERVICES AND REORIENTATION COSTS:

During 2000, the Group recognized a nonrecurring charge of Ps.430,916 relating
to the redundant use of the transponders on the Solidaridad 2 satellite once the
PAS-9 satellite became operational, and for the increased costs to re-orientate
customers' antennas to PAS-9 in a short period of time. The process of migrating
customers from Solidaridad 2 to PAS-9 started in November 2000 and finally ended
in March 2002. As explained in Note 5, the Group recorded an impairment charge
of Ps.30,776 in April 2002 that related to certain transmission equipment
associated with Solidaridad 2. This impairment loss, together with the payments
for the use of Solidaridad 2 in the first quarter of 2002 amounting to
Ps.14,182, was offset by the reversal of unutilized amounts raised in 2000
amounting to Ps.19,025, and reflected as a nonrecurring charge of Ps.25,933 in
2002.

NOTE 16 - RESTRUCTURING CHARGES:

The restructuring charges in 2002 and 2001 consisted of severance costs in
connection with employee terminations.

NOTE 17 - ACCUMULATED LOSSES:

Under Mexican Corporate Law, interested third parties can request the
dissolution of the Group if accumulated losses exceed two-thirds of capital
stock. At December 31, 2002, the Group's accumulated losses exceeded its capital
stock. Although the Group believes it is unlikely such action will occur, the
Group, obtained from Televisa and News Corporation, a commitment to provide
financial support to the Group for a period of one year from the balance sheet
date, in proportion to their respective ownership interests, if required, to
avoid such action.

The recoverability of the Group's investment in DTH infrastructure and product
development is dependent upon future events, including, but not limited to, the
stability of the Mexican economic environment, obtaining adequate financing for
the Group's development program, the continued operation of satellites owned by
third parties, the competitive and market environment for pay television
services in Mexico, and the achievement of a level of operating revenues that is
sufficient to support the Group's cost structure.

NOTE 18 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX ("IT"), ASSETS TAX ("AT") AND EMPLOYEES'
STATUTORY PROFIT SHARING:

The Group expects to incur tax losses during the next several years. Tax losses
can be carried forward for up to ten years and offset against any profits that
the Group or Televisa may generate during that period in accordance with the
Income Tax Law.

                                      F-26

At December 31, 2002, the Group had total tax loss carryforwards of
Ps.7,217,541, which will under certain circumstances, be carried forward over
ten years from the period that the respective tax loss was generated in:

Employees' statutory profit sharing in Mexico is determined for each subsidiary
individually, not on a consolidated basis. There is no employees' statutory
profit sharing deferred tax as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Pursuant to the tax legislation in force, the Company must pay annually the
greater of the IT or the AT, which is determined on the average value of assets
less certain liabilities. When the AT payments are greater than IT, they are
recoverable against the IT in excess of the AT from the three prior years and
the ten subsequent years.

The Group is also included in the consolidated tax return of Televisa and its
consolidated subsidiaries for purposes of determining its income taxes and
assets tax. Beginning January 1, 1999, 60% of the tax profit or loss obtained by
the Group will be consolidated with the tax profit or loss of Televisa to the
extent of Televisa's percentage ownership of the Group. Through December 31,
1998, Televisa recognized the total taxable loss of the Group to the extent of
its percentage ownership.

The Group entered into a tax sharing agreement with Televisa under which the
Group will, during the periods that the Group is a part of Televisa's
consolidated tax group, pay Televisa the amount of income and asset taxes that
Televisa is required to pay on behalf of the Group. No such amount will be
payable until the Group's profit exceeds its tax loss carryforwards. Conversely,
Televisa shall pay to the Group the portion of any tax refund allocable to the
Group.

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the exchange rate between the Mexican Peso and
the U.S. Dollar was Ps.10.464 and Ps.9.178 per U.S. dollar, respectively, which
represents the interbank free market exchange rate as of those dates as
published by Banco de Mexico, S.A. As of

NOTE 21 - DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEXICAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP:

The Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
Mexican GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.

The reconciliation to U.S. GAAP includes a reconciling item for the effect of
applying the option provided by the Modified Fifth Amendment to Bulletin B-10
for the restatement of equipment of non-Mexican origin because, as described
below, this provision of inflation accounting under Mexican GAAP does not meet
the consistent currency requirement of Regulation S-X of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The reconciliation to U.S. GAAP does not include the reversal of the other
adjustments to the financial statements for the effects of inflation required
under Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-10, because the application of Bulletin B-10
represents a comprehensive measure of the effects of price level changes in the
inflationary Mexican economy and, as such, is considered a more meaningful
presentation than historical, cost-based financial reporting for both Mexican
and U.S. accounting purposes.

The principal differences between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP that affect net
loss and total stockholders' deficit are described below:

Deferred preoperating expenses and advertising costs

Under Mexican GAAP, it is acceptable to defer certain preoperating expenses and
advertising costs and amortize these expenses over the life of the expected
benefit. Under U.S. GAAP, these items are expensed as incurred.

Solidaridad 2 and satellite reorientation costs

Under Mexican GAAP, the Group recognized a non-recurring loss of Ps.430,916
during the year ended December 31, 2000 for the redundent use of the
transponders on the Solidaridad 2 satellite once the PAS-9 satellite became
operational and for the increased costs to reorientate customer's antennas to
PAS-9 in a short period of time.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Group continued to use the Solidaridad 2 satellite to
provide services to its customers through the termination of the Solidaridad 2
agreement. Accordingly, the monthly payments cannot be recognized as a one time
loss, and the Group must continue using the straight-line method in accounting
for the agreement. The Group discontinued the use of Solidaridad 2 satellite on
March 31, 2002. The satellite reorientation costs are expensed as incurred as a
part of operating expenses.

                                      F-32

<PAGE>

Maintenance reserve and smart cards replacement

Under Mexican GAAP, it is acceptable to accrue for certain expenses which
management believes will be incurred in subsequent periods. Under U.S. GAAP,
these costs are expensed as incurred.

Capitalization of financing costs

Mexican GAAP allows, but does not require, capitalization of integral financing
costs attributable to acquired assets during installation and preoperating
expenses. In 1996, the Group capitalized integral financing costs attributable
to those assets. Capitalized integral financing costs include interest expense,
gains from monetary position and foreign exchange losses.

U.S. GAAP requires the capitalization of interest during construction and
installation of qualifying assets. In an inflationary economy, such as Mexico's,
acceptable practice is to capitalize interest net of the monetary gain on the
related Mexican Peso debt, but not on U.S. dollar or other stable currency debt.
In addition, U.S. GAAP does not allow the capitalization of foreign exchange
losses or the capitalization of financing costs on deferred expenses.

No interest costs were capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000.

Restatement of property and equipment

Effective January 1, 1997, the Group adopted the Fifth Amendment to Bulletin
B-10 which eliminated the use of replacement costs for the restatement of
property and equipment and instead, included an option of using the Specific
Index for the restatement of equipment of non-Mexican origin. The Group has
elected to apply the Specific Index option for determining the restated balances
of equipment of non-Mexican origin under Mexican GAAP. For U.S. GAAP purposes,
the use of an index that contemplates currency exchange movements is not in
accordance with the historical cost concept nor does it present financial
information in a constant currency.

Restructuring charges

In 2002 and 2001, the Group provided for restructuring costs related to expected
employee terminations. Under Mexican GAAP, these costs are recorded as other
expenses. For U.S. GAAP purposes, these costs have been expensed as incurred and
classified in operating expenses.

Revenue recognition

In prior years, under Mexican GAAP, concession fees paid to the Mexican
Government and to the actors and artists guild were recorded against revenues.
From January 1, 2002, these fees are recorded in cost of sales, consistent with
the accounting treatment under US GAAP. Revenues

                                      F-33

<PAGE>

under Mexican GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 have been
restated to conform with classification in the current year. Accordingly, the
accompanying condensed consolidated statement of loss contains no adjustment in
respect of the classification of such expenses.

Through September 30, 2000, the Group sold and transferred title to the DTH
antenna, LNB and accessories to wholesale and other distributors who then
re-sold the units to the subscriber. Revenue was recognized upon the sale of the
unit to the distributor.

Effective October 1, 2000, the Group began providing the antenna, LNB and
accessories to new subscribers, together with the IRD, for a set monthly rental
fee, retaining title and ownership of all the equipment. From that date, the
Group also uses intermediate parties to perform certain customer acquisition and
installation services on its behalf. Under Mexican GAAP, the Group records as
revenue amounts received from these intermediate parties. Under US GAAP, the
Group follows the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force Summary No. 99-19,
"Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent", pursuant to
which it has determined that it serves as principal in these transactions and
that it should record as revenue amounts billed to the subscriber, as ultimate
customer. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of loss under US
GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2002 therefore includes an adjustment to
reflect as revenue the amounts billed to subscribers and not the amounts
received from intermediate parties. The adjustments for the year ended December
31, 2001 and 2000 were not material.

In addition, under Mexican GAAP, initial non-refundable subscription fees are
recognized upon activation of the new subscriber's DTH services. Under US GAAP,
initial non-refundable subscription fees are recognized over the period that a
new subscriber is expected to remain a customer (2002 and 2001 estimated to be 3
years). Customer acquisition costs directly attributable to the income are
recognized over the same period under US GAAP. Those customer acquisition costs
in excess of the initial non-refundable subscription fee revenues, are expensed
as incurred.

Initial non-refundable subscription fees for the year ended December 31, 2002
amounted to Ps.144.9 million (Ps.165.8 million in 2001). Under US GAAP, deferred
initial non-refundable subscription fee revenues of approximately Ps.195.0
million were recorded as of December 31, 2002 (Ps.135.9 million in 2001). In
addition, customer acquisition costs which are expensed immediately under
Mexican GAAP, have been deferred to match and equal initial non-refundable
subscription revenues; therefore at December 31, 2002, deferred costs under US
GAAP also amounted to Ps.195.0 million (Ps.135.9 million in 2001). Initial
non-refundable subscription revenues (which are matched by customer acquisition
costs) that have been recognized during the year amount to Ps.78.5 million
(Ps.30.0 million in 2001). Deferred initial non-refundable subscription fee
revenues and customer acquisition costs as of and for the year ended December
31, 2000 were not material.

The net impact on both operating loss and net loss of these US GAAP adjustments
is nil in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Deferred income taxes

Under Mexican GAAP, the Group follows the guidelines of amended Bulletin D-4 in
accounting for income taxes. Bulletin D-4 is similar to U.S. GAAP, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109") "Accounting for Income
Taxes", in many respects.

SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial
statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred
tax assets including benefits from tax loss carryforwards are recognized to the
extent their realization is more likely than not.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant deferred
tax assets and liabilities, applying SFAS 109 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, are
as follows:

Cash Flows

Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-12, specifies the appropriate presentation of the
statements of changes in financial position. Under Bulletin B-12, the sources
and uses of resources are determined based upon differences between beginning
and ending financial statement balances in constant pesos. Under U.S. GAAP, a
statement of cash flows is required, which presents only cash movements and
excludes non-cash items.

                                      F-39

<PAGE>

Presented below are statements of cash flow for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, prepared after considering the impact of U.S. GAAP
adjustments. The cash flow statements present nominal cash flows during the
period, adjusted to December 31, 2002, purchasing power.

Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities

Capital lease obligation of U.S.$133.9 million (Ps.1,432.6 million) was incurred
when the Group entered into agreements with PanAmSat for the use of 12 KU-band
transponders on the PAS-9 satellite in September 2000.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligation" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 establishes accounting standards for
recognition and measurement of a liability at fair value for an asset retirement
obligation and an addition to the associated asset retirement cost. The
accretion of interest expense each period is subsequently recorded as an expense
and added to the liability. The Group is required to adopt SFAS 143 effective
January 1, 2003. The Group does not expect that the adoption of FAS 143 will
have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statements of Accounting Standards No. 145,
"Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS 13, and Technical
Corrections as of April 2002" ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 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 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 145 amends SFAS 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 145
also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various
technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under
changed conditions. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May
15, 2002. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS
145 will have on its results of operations and financial position. However, the
Group does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 145 will have a material impact
on its results of operations and financial position.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146").
This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated
with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exist an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)" ("EITF 94-3"). SFAS 146 eliminates the definition and
requirements for recognition of exist costs in EITF 94-3. SFAS 146 requires that
a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an
exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also concludes that an entity's commitment
to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets
the definition of a liability. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the
objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is effective for
exist or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Group is
currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 146 will have on its
results of operations and financial position. However, the Group does not
believe that the adoption of SFAS 146 will have a material impact on its results
of operations and financial position.
