Factors
1)
-Sales were US $313 million in 2010, a 5% decline from the US $330 million reported in 2009. This is explained by the stabilization of demand for the TR6060 transmission for the Camaro application and also by lower AM General requirements at the Power Systems SBU. The above was partially compensated by the increase in sales at the Aftermarket SBU, essentially due to higher orders from domestic and export customers as a result of the recovery in the spare parts market. In pesos, sales at KUO Automotive in 2010 totaled Ps. $3.959 billion, a decline of 11% from 2009.

2)
-Results after general expenses in dollars was US $19 million, that is, at the same level of 2009 and the EBITDA decreased 5%, to US $35 million. The situation was due to increased sales at the Aftermarket SBU which partially offset the fall in sales at the Power Systems SBU.
