C) RETAINED EARNINGS<br />

CEMEX, S.A.B. DE C.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES<br />

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)<br />

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008<br />

(Millions of Mexican pesos)<br />

In 2009, a charge for a portion of the liability resulting from changes in the Mexican tax consolidation rules of approximately Ps2,245 was<br />

included (note 15A). Nonetheless, in 2010, due to recent modifications to the income tax law in Mexico, in accordance to Interpretation 18,<br />

CEMEX reduced its estimated tax payable by approximately Ps2,911 against a credit to “Retained earnings.” In addition, in connection with the<br />

initial adoption of MFRS C-3 in 2010, CEMEX reduced its retained earnings by approximately Ps105 (note 2G). In 2008, the caption includes the<br />

effects associated with the adoption of several MFRS: a) the reclassification of the accumulated results from holding non-monetary assets (note<br />

2A); b) the reclassification of the cumulative initial deferred income tax effect (note 2N); c) the cumulative initial deferred income tax recognition<br />

in investments in associates; and d) the cumulative initial deferred income tax recognition based on the assets and liabilities method (note 2M),<br />

which decreased retained earnings by Ps97,722, Ps6,918, Ps920 and Ps2,283, respectively.<br />

Net income for the year is subject to a 5% allocation toward a legal reserve until such reserve equals one fifth of the common stock. As of<br />

December 31, 2010, the legal reserve amounted to Ps1,804.<br />

D) NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST AND PERPETUAL DEBENTURES<br />

Non-controlling interest<br />

Non-controlling interest represents the share of non-controlling stockholders in the results and equity of consolidated subsidiaries. As of<br />

December 31, 2010 and 2009, non-controlling interest in equity amounted to approximately Ps3,214 and Ps3,838, respectively.<br />

Perpetual debentures<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, consolidated balance sheets included approximately US$1,320 (Ps16,310) and US$3,045 (Ps39,859),<br />

respectively, representing the notional amount of perpetual debentures. On May 12, 2010, as mentioned in note 12A, following an exchange<br />

offer with the debenture holders, CEMEX exchanged amounts in excess of a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of each series<br />

of perpetual debentures for new secured notes.<br />

Interest expense on the perpetual debentures, which is accrued based on the principal amount, was included within “Other equity reserves”<br />

and represented expenses of approximately Ps1,624 in 2010, Ps2,704 in 2009 and Ps2,596 in 2008.<br />

These debentures have no fixed maturity date and do not represent a contractual payment obligation for CEMEX. As a result, these<br />

debentures, issued entirely by Special Purpose Vehicles (“SPVs”), qualify as equity instruments and are classified within non-controlling<br />

interest, as they were issued by consolidated entities. In addition, CEMEX has the unilateral right to defer indefinitely the payment of interest<br />

due on the debentures. The definition of the debentures as equity instruments was made under applicable IFRS, which were applied to these<br />

transactions in compliance with the supplementary application of IFRS in Mexico. The different SPVs were established solely for purposes of<br />

issuing the perpetual debentures and were included in CEMEX’s consolidated financial statements.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, CEMEX’s perpetual debentures were as follows:<br />

Issuer Issuance date<br />

2010<br />

Nominal amount<br />

F-49<br />

2009<br />

C5 Capital (SPV) Ltd. 1............... December 2006 US$147 US$350 Fifth anniversary 6.2%<br />

C10 Capital (SPV) Ltd. ............... December 2006 US$449 US$900 Tenth anniversary 6.7%<br />

1 If CEMEX does not exercise its repurchase option by December 31, 2011, the annual interest rate of this series will change to 3-month LIBOR plus 4.277%,<br />

which will be reset quarterly. Interest payments on this series will be made quarterly instead of semi-annually. CEMEX is not permitted to call these<br />

debentures under the Financing Agreement. As of December 31, 2010, 3-month LIBOR was approximately 0.30%.<br />

As mentioned in note 12C, as of December 31, 2008, there were derivative instruments associated with the perpetual debentures, through<br />

which CEMEX changed the risk profile associated with interest rates and foreign exchange rates in respect of the debentures from the U.S.<br />

dollar and euro to the Japanese yen. These derivative instruments were settled during 2009.
