Círculo de Crédito

On June 1, Círculo de Crédito, S.A. de C.V. received authorization from the Ministry of Finance to start operations as the new credit information bureau for individuals in Mexico. Grupo Elektra partnered with Banco Afirme, S.A., Coppel, S.A. de C.V., Grupo Chedraui, S.A. de C.V., and two other private investors to create Círculo de Crédito. Each partner of the new credit bureau has 18% equity stake with the exception of the two private investors who each has a 14% equity stake. The new credit bureau primarily intends to obtain, manage and send information on the credit history of individuals.

Commercial Division

Commercial division revenues decreased 1.0%, due primarily to lower merchandise revenues that result from the closing of certain stores that did not reach our profitability standards. However, Latin American operations continued to show favorable results.

Total Debt and Net Debt

At the end of 2Q05, the commercial division’s total debt with cost was Ps. 3.6 billion, 8.5% lower compared with Ps. 3.9 billion at the end of 2Q04. Net debt at the commercial division decreased to a negative amount of Ps. 576.3 million in 2Q05 from Ps. 1.1 billion in 2Q04.

Consolidated Financial Results

Consolidated Revenues

Consolidated revenues increased 18.4% to Ps. 7.6 billion in 2Q05 from Ps. 6.5 billion in 2Q04.

EBITDA

Consolidated EBITDA reached Ps. 1.1 billion, a 17.1% increase from Ps. 989.9 million in 2Q04. During the quarter, the growth in operating expenses was offset by higher consolidated revenues and a 110 basis points higher consolidated gross margin, from 43.9% in 2Q04 to 45.0% in 2Q05. Consolidated EBITDA margin reached 15.2%, 10 basis points lower than the 15.3% reported in 2Q04.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT ANNEX 1

Operating Expenses

During the quarter, operating expenses grew 24.8% to Ps. 2.6 billion in 2Q05 from Ps. 2.1 billion in 2Q04. The increase in operating expenses was mainly the result of hiring and training of employees; door-to-door sales initiatives; increased operations from 137 net new stores; and higher advertising expenses from our new business units.

Comprehensive Cost of Financing

The commercial division comprehensive cost of financing for 2Q05 was Ps. 609.3 million, 59.9% higher when compared with the Ps. 381.1 million in 2Q04. The difference in the cost of financing is explained by:

1) A Ps. 330.5 million loss in equity swaps operations explained by the impact of the implementation of Mexican accounting Bulletin C-10 on the Company’s position in equity swaps. Bulletin C-10, “Derivative Financial Instruments and Coverage Operations” of Mexican GAAP states that realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps and options, on foreign exchange options and forward contracts, are recognized in the income statement of the period and are included in the comprehensive cost of financing; and

2) An increase in FX losses of Ps. 147.3 million in the period.

These were partially offset by:

A Ps. 159.8 million decrease in interest expense resulting from a lower level of debt with cost this quarter largely due to the four years in advance redemption of the full amount of the 12% US$275 million Senior Notes due in 2008;

A Ps. 5.1 million increase in interest income; and

A Ps. 3.4 million increase in monetary gains.

On a proforma basis, excluding the Ps. 330.5 million loss in equity swaps operations, the comprehensive cost of financing in 2Q05 was Ps. 278.7 million, 7.0% lower compared with the proforma Ps. 299.7 million of 2Q04.

Operating Profit

During the quarter, operating income increased 11.7% despite a 30.8% growth in depreciation and amortization. The rise in D&A results from increased fixed assets in both the commercial and the financial divisions.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT ANNEX 1

Net Income

Our positive operating performance, coupled with a Ps. 276.3 million gain from our equity participation in Comunicaciones Avanzadas, partially offset by the increase in the comprehensive cost of financing, led to a net income of Ps. 351.5 million in 2Q05, 34.0% higher than the Ps. 262.3 million net income of 2Q04.

On a proforma basis, excluding the Ps. 330.5 million loss in equity swaps operations in the comprehensive cost of financing in 2Q05, net income for 2Q05 was Ps. 682.1 million, 98.5% higher when compared with the proforma Ps. 343.7 million of 2Q04.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures in the first half of 2005 were Ps. 593.3 million, principally due to our expansion and the purchases of communications equipment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Total cash and cash equivalents rose 89.0% to Ps. 17.9 billion in 2Q05 from Ps. 9.5 billion in 2Q04, comprised of a 48.8% increase to Ps. 4.2 billion from the commercial division and a 106.1% growth to Ps. 13.7 billion from the financial division in line with the increase in customer deposits.

Consolidated Gross Loan Portfolio

Total consolidated gross loan portfolio increased 75.6% to Ps. 13.6 billion in 2Q05 from Ps. 7.8 billion at the end of 2Q04. Collection rate for the credit portfolio remained at 97%.

Grupo Elektra sells retail goods and services through its Elektra, Salinas y Rocha, Bodega de Remates and Electricity stores and over the Internet. The Group operates more than 1,000 stores in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Peru.

Grupo Elektra also sells and markets its consumer finance, banking and financial products and services through approximately 1,400 Banco Azteca branches located within its stores, as a stand-alone, and in other channels in Mexico and Panama.

Risks that may affect Grupo Elektra are identified in its Form 20-F and other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

As used in this press release, EBITDA is operating income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted by eliminating monetary (loss) gain included in our revenues and cost, respectively.

~~Our~~SIGNATURE management uses EBITDA as a measure of performance business allowing us to compare ourselves with our peers’ multiples, ratios and margins derived from EBITDA. It also serves to evaluate and compensate certain employees. We believe EBITDA is one of the tools that we can use to measure our cash-flow generation, because it excludes some non-cash items as monetary gains or losses, depreciation and amortization, etc. EBITDA is also a measure contained in certain financial covenants of our debt, and consequently we are required to calculate it in order to verify compliance with such covenants. We are aware that EBITDA has material limitations associated with its use, (i.e., EBITDA, as defined by us, excludes items such as Discontinued operations, and includes the Allowance for doubtful accounts, which contains or does not contain, respectively, portions of cash). However, our management compensates these material limitations with the use of our consolidated financial statements and its notes. We believe that EBITDA is used by certain investors as one measure of a company’s historical ability to service its debt.

~~EBITDA~~ Pursuant ~~should~~to ~~not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for~~ the ~~consolidated~~requirements ~~income~~of ~~statements or~~ the ~~consolidated~~Securities ~~statements~~Exchange ~~of changes~~Act ~~in financial position prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP (PCGA) or as a measure~~ of ~~profitability~~1934, orthe ~~liquidity.~~registrant ~~EBITDA~~has isduly ~~not (a) a~~caused ~~measure~~this ~~determined~~report ~~under PCGA or U.S. GAAP, (b) an alternative~~ to ~~PCGA~~be orsigned ~~U.S.~~on ~~GAAP~~its ~~operating~~behalf ~~income~~by ~~(loss) or~~the ~~net income (loss)~~undersigned, ~~(c) a~~ ~~measure~~thereunto ofduly ~~liquidity or cash flows as determined under PCGA or U~~authorized.S.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNEX 2

NOTE 1 — COMPANY OPERATIONS:

The main activity of Grupo Elektra, S. A. de C. V. (“Grupo Elektra”) and its subsidiaries (the Company) is the sale of consumer electronics, major appliances, household furniture, telephones and computers, through a chain of 962 stores in Mexico and 79 in Guatemala, Peru and Honduras. The Company operates three store formats: Elektra, Salinas y Rocha and Bodega de Remates.

Additionally, the Company offers a series of financial products and services, the most important of which are granting of personal and consumer loans, receiving deposits and savings and investment accountants, as well as money transfer services from the United States to Mexico and within Mexico.

On July 18, 2003, Grupo Elektra acquired CIGNA Seguros, S.A. which was renamed Seguros Azteca, S.A. de C.V. (Seguros Azteca) and will offer life, accident and health insurance to the Company’s customers. The purchase did not include any insurance portfolio or any liabilities. Grupo Elektra received the approval from the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (MFPC) to operate Seguros Azteca in February 2004.

In April 2002 Grupo Elektra received authorization from Mexico’s Finance Ministry (SHCP) to operate a Retirement Saving Fund Administrator, named Afore Azteca, S. A. de C. V. (Afore Azteca). It started operations at the beginning of July 2003.

Grupo Elektra received approval from the SHCP to incorporate Banco Azteca, S. A. de C. V., Institución de Banca Múltiple (BAZ), which began operations in the last quarter of 2002 and, at December 31, 2004, had established branches in the 930 Elektra and Salinas y Rocha stores and approximately 200 other branches in third party channels.

Before BAZ began operations, Elektrafin Comercial, S. A. de C. V. (Elektrafin), a wholly owned subsidiary, granted financing to the company’s customers to acquire merchandise at the Elektra and Salinas y Rocha stores. In December 2003, Elektrafin was merged into Elektra. Grupo Elektra received authorization by the Superintendent of Banks of Panama on November 24, 2004, resolution number SB-224-2004. As of December 31, 2004, it had not begun operations.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The financial statements of Banco Azteca, Afore Azteca and Seguros Azteca included in the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting criteria established by the Commission, which are the same as Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Mexican GAAP).

Below is a summary of the most significant accounting policies, including the concepts, methods and criteria related to recognition of the effects of inflation on the financial information:

a. Recognition of the effects of inflation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP and are expressed in constant pesos with purchasing power as of December 31, 2004, in accordance with the following policies:

Inventory and cost of sales are restated by using the replacement cost method.

MEXICAN STOCK EXCHANGE SIFIC / ICS

STOCK EXCHANGE CODE: ELEKTRA GRUPO ELEKTRA, S.A. DE C.V. Quarter: 2 Year: 2005

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNEX 2

Property, furniture, equipment, investment in stores, minority investments in shares, goodwill and the components of shareholder equity are restated by applying factors derived from the Mexican National Consumer Price Index (INPC).

The gain on monetary position represents the profit from inflation, as measured by the INPC, on the monthly net monetary liabilities and assets during the year, restated to pesos with purchasing power as of the end of last year.

The result from holding non-monetary assets represents the increase of the restated value of these assets, applying specific costs above or below inflation measured in terms of the INPC, and is included in the insufficiency in the restatement of capital.

b. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and all of its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and operations have been eliminated in the consolidation.

c. Investments Securities

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Investments in securities are classified by Company management according to their intended use: available for sale, business purposes or held to maturity. The classification is determined at the time the securities are acquired.

Trading securities are initially recorded at their acquisition cost, plus yields generated, calculated in accordance with the straight-line method. As of the balance sheet date, trading securities are stated at their net realizable value, based on their estimated market value, determined based on processed price vectors, published by an authorized pricing expert authorized by the Commission. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the statements of income of the year.

d. Loan portfolio

The balance of the loan portfolio is represented by the amounts actually granted to borrowers, plus uncollected accrued interest and deducted from interest collected in advance and from the allowance for credit losses.

Loans are considered past due for their total unpaid balance, when interest or installment payments are not received within the terms shown below:

• Loans with a single payment of principal and interest 30 days or more past due. • Loans with a single payment of principal at due date and periodic interest payments 90 days or more past due on interest payments or 30 days or more past due on the payment of principal. • Loans with installments on the principal and interest, at 90 days or more in arrears. • Revolving loans if there are two monthly billing periods, or 60 or more days past due. • Mortgage loans, when principal and interest payments are 90 days or more past due.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNEX 2

e. Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company has created reserves in accordance with expected losses, based on historical experience. The calculation of this reserve was performed following the methodology utilized by Elektrafin, a Company that granted loans until 2002, and which merged with Elektra in 2003 before BAZ began operations, which consisted of increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts for each credit sale.

f. Inventories and cost of sales

Inventories and cost of sales are originally determined by the average cost method and are restated and value of inventories so determined do not exceed current market value.

g. Property, furniture, equipment and investment in stores

Real estate, furniture and equipment are expressed at cost of acquisition and are restated. Investment in stores represents expenditures necessary to prepare the stores operated by the Company, and is restated.

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of investment in stores is calculated by the straight-line method over periods not exceeding five years.

The company conducts a major part of its operations from leased facilities, which include more than 1,000 stores, nine distribution centers and the building housing the company’s headquarters. These facilities are under operating leases that expire over the next nine years. Most of the leases are renewable for periods of three to five years.

Some of the rental payments on store facilities are based on a minimum rental and a percentage of the store’s sales (contingent rentals). In most cases, management expects leases to be renewed or replaced by other properties.

h. Investments in shares

The investment in CASA is accounted for by the equity method. The equity in the results of CASA is shown in the consolidated statements of income.

Other investments in non-marketable equity securities in which the Company’s interest is less than 10% are stated originally at cost, and restated.

In accordance with the accounting provisions of Bulletin C-15, “Impairment in the Value of Long-Lived Assets and Their Disposal”, of Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the value of the shares in permanent investments is subject to tests of impairment in those cases where the value of the use is less than the accounting value. The difference is the impairment of goodwill.

i. Goodwill

As of June 30, 2005, the balance of goodwill presented in the balance sheets only corresponds to CASA.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNEX 2

j. Demand and term deposits

BAZ liabilities for this concept are composed of demand and term deposits, which are represented by concentrated, savings and investment accounts, as well as notes with yields payable on maturity. These liabilities are recorded at capture or placement costs plus accrued interest determined by days transpired as of the monthly close. These are charged to the results.

k. Income tax and employees’ statutory profit sharing

The Company recognizes the effects of deferred taxes by applying the income tax rate to all differences between the book and tax values of assets and liabilities, and considering tax-loss carry-forwards and asset tax recoverable likely to be obtained.

Deferred employees’ statutory profit sharing (ESPS) is determined considering the non-recurring temporary differences between the book profit and the taxable distribution base determined under Income Tax Law for ESPS purposes.

l. Labor obligations

Seniority premiums, to which employees are entitled to upon termination of employment after 15 years of service, as well as obligations under retirement plans established by the Company’s subsidiaries for their employees, to which they do not contribute, are recognized as costs of the years in which the services are rendered through contributions to irrevocable trust funds, based on actuarial studies.

Other seniority-based compensation, to which employees may be entitled in the event of dismissal or death, in accordance with the Mexican Federal Labor Law, is charged to results in the year in which it becomes payable.

m. Review of the values of long-lived assets

The Company periodically evaluates the recovery value of its tangible and intangible long-lived assets, including goodwill, based on future flows from its two cash-generating units (sales and credit). If the accounting value of the assets exceeds the use value (discounted flows) a loss from impairment of these assets is recognized.

The procedure and criterion used by the Company are in agreement with the provisions established in Bulletin C-15, “Impairment in the Value of Long-Lived Assets and Their Disposal”, of Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, issued in March 2003.

n. Transactions in foreign currencies and translation of foreign operations

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates on which they are entered into. Assets and liabilities denominated in these currencies are stated at Mexican peso equivalents current as of the date of the balance sheet. Exchange differences arising from fluctuations in the exchange rates between the dates on which transactions are entered into and those on which they are settled or valued at the close of the year are applied to the results.

ANNEX 2

o. Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the consolidated net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if share and other contracts related to issuing shares were exercised or converted, resulting in the issuance of additional shares, which would participate in Grupo Elektra profit-sharing.

p. Derivative financial instruments

Beginning in 2004, the effects of operations with derivative financial instruments indexed to Company’s own shares are recognized in the statement of income as income or expense, and those resulting from interest rate coverage instruments are recognized in the comprehensive income, both at their fair value as of December 31 of each year.

Until December 31, 2003 profits and losses from derivative financial operation contracts were recorded within the premium for placement of shares because it dealt with operations with the Company’s own shares. Until December 31, 2003, interest paid, as well as dividends on shares involved in these operations, were recorded in the statement of income of the years in which they were carried out.

Beginning in 2004, the Company chose early adoption of Bulletin B-10, “Derivative Financial Instruments and Coverage Operations” of Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Valuation of interest rate futures purchase operations at the end of the year carried out by BAZ are presented in the balance sheet in net form, together with the primary position whose risk is being covered. That is, within demand deposits.

q. Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income includes the net income for the year, plus any items which, in accordance with Mexican Generally Accepted Accepted Accounting Principles, must be recorded directly in the shareholder equity and are not capital contributions or reductions.

r. Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on sales when goods are delivered to customers.

Interest is recognized as income when accrued, applying the straight-line method. However, recognition of interest is suspended at the time when loans are reclassified to the past due portfolio. With respect to uncollected ordinary accrued interest corresponding to loans classified to the past due portfolio, an estimate is created for an amount equivalent to the total amount at the time the loan is reclassified to the past-due portfolio. Accrued interest (late) during the period in which the loan is classified to the past due portfolio is not recognized as income until it is actually collected.

Revenues from money transfer services represent the commissions paid by Western Union to Elektra arising from money transfers collected in BAZ located in Elektra and SyR stores and third party channels, plus the Company’s share of the foreign exchange gain, as well as commissions paid by Elektra’s customers for money transfers within Mexico. Both types of commissions are recorded when services are provided.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNEX 2

Revenues from extended warranty sales are recorded as deferred credits on the date the contracts are sold, and are applied applied to income using the straight-line method over the terms of the extended warranties (from two to five years).

Income from the sale of life insurance policies are recorded at the time the policies are issued, and are decreased by the premiums paid for reinsurance.

s. Presentation of revenues and costs

In order to compare Company income and costs, income is presented including merchandise sales and accrued and late interest, decreased by the loss from monetary position on the loan portfolio. Similarly, costs include the cost of sales of the merchandise, allowances for bad debt and interest charged to accounts payable labeled deposits, decreased by the profit on monetary position corresponding to the deposits. Other interest earned or paid is classified as part of the comprehensive cost of financing.

t. Use of estimates

Preparation of financial statements in accordance with Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires that management make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

u. Reclassifications

Certain amounts from the previous period have been reclassified in order to conform the presentation of the current financial statements.
