PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The audited consolidated financial statements of Petróleos Mexicanos, subsidiary entities and subsidiary companies as of
December 31, 2010 and 2011 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011 are included in Item 18 of
the Form 20-F incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the registration statement covering the new securities. We refer to
these financial statements as the 2011 financial statements. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with
Normas de Información Financiera Mexicanas (Mexican Financial Reporting Standards, which we refer to as Mexican FRS or
NIFs).
Commencing January 1, 2008, we no longer use inflation accounting unless the economic environment in which we operate
qualifies as "inflationary" under Mexican FRS. As a result, amounts in this prospectus and in the reports incorporated herein are
presented in nominal terms; however, such amounts do reflect inflationary effects recognized up to December 31, 2007. See Note 3(a)
to the 2011 financial statements.
Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been reclassified in
certain accounts with the purpose of making them comparable with our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011. In
addition, during 2011, accounting changes were made, as disclosed in Note 3(ab) to the 2011 financial statements. As a result, the
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010, the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and
2010 and the statements of operations for the years then ended were adjusted to recognize the effects of the application of FRS C-4
"Inventories."
Mexican FRS differ in certain significant respects from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (which we
refer to as U.S. GAAP). The principal differences between our net income and equity under U.S. GAAP and Mexican FRS as of and
for each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 are described in Note 21 to the 2011 financial statements and in "Item
5--Operating and Financial Review and Prospects--U.S. GAAP Reconciliation" of the Form 20-F.
Beginning with the fiscal year starting January 1, 2012, Mexican issuers that disclose information through the Bolsa Mexicana
de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V. (the Mexican Stock Exchange, which we refer to as the BMV) are required to prepare financial statements
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We have begun presenting financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the year ending December 31, 2012, with an official IFRS
adoption date of January 1, 2012 and a transition date to IFRS of January 1, 2011. In accordance with the revised regulations, we
filed interim financial statements under IFRS with the BMV on May 2, 2012.
We have incorporated by reference in this prospectus the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Petróleos
Mexicanos, subsidiary entities and subsidiary companies as of March 31, 2012 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011
and 2012 (which we refer to as the March 2012 interim financial statements), which were not audited and were prepared in
accordance with IFRS.

Table of Contents
The March 2012 interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34
"Interim Financial Reporting" and with the first-time adoption rules established in IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International
Financial Reporting Standards" ("IFRS 1"). IFRS 1 permits us to change our election of optional IFRS transition exemptions even if
such exemptions have already been used in the preparation of published interim financial statements. If we change policies,
classifications or transitions elections prior to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending
December 31, 2012 as permitted by IFRS 1, we are not required to re-issue our financial statements for previous interim periods.
IFRS differ in certain significant respects from Mexican FRS and U.S. GAAP. The principal changes to our accounting policies
and effects on our consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of IFRS are described in Notes 2 and 13 to the
March 2012 interim financial statements, in "Item 5--Operating and Financial Review and Prospects--Recently Issued Accounting
Standards" of the Form 20-F and in "Selected Financial Data" of the Form 6-K.
