(l) U.S. GAAP adjustments to discontinued operations<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 />

The reconciling items in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to U.S. GAAP related to CEMEX’s operations in Australia for the years ended<br />

December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:<br />

2009 2008<br />

Interest expense 1.......................................................................................................................... Ps (373) (388)<br />

Income tax 2.................................................................................................................................. 109 113<br />

U.S. GAAP adjustments from discontinued operations .......................................................... Ps (264) (275)<br />

1 Represents the interest related to the repaid debt with the proceeds of the sale of our Australian operations, required to be allocated to discontinued<br />

operations by IASC 205-20-45-6 “Reporting Discontinued Operations”.<br />

2 Income tax effects related to the interest mentioned in footnote 1 above.<br />

Discontinued operations financial expense<br />

According to ASC 205-20-45-6, Reporting Discontinued Operations - Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations, and in connection<br />

with the sale of the Australian operations (note 3B), interest on debt that is to be assumed by the buyer and interest on debt that is required to<br />

be repaid as a result of a disposal transaction shall be allocated to discontinued operations. The amounts of interest expense reclassified to<br />

discontinued operations related to the repaid debt with the funds received from the sale of our subsidiary in Australia for the years ended<br />

December 31, 2009 and 2008 were Ps373 and Ps388, respectively. This interest expense was reclassified net of its tax effect for<br />

approximately Ps109 in 2009 and Ps113 in 2008, and is included within income from discontinued operations. CEMEX elected not to<br />

reclassify other interest expenses which are not directly attributable to discontinued operations, as permitted under ASC 205-20.<br />

(m) Supplemental Cash Flow Information under U.S. GAAP<br />

Beginning in 2008 under MFRS (note 2A), as part of its primary financial statements, CEMEX includes statements of cash flows, which<br />

present the sources and uses of cash flows in following significantly the same requirements as those established by ASC 230, Statement of<br />

cash flows, under U.S. GAAP, instead of the statement of changes in financial position presented until December 31, 2007 which identified<br />

the sources and uses of resources based on the differences between beginning and ending balance sheets in constant pesos.<br />

MFRS requires interest expense to be classified as a financing activity within the statement of cash flows, unlike ASC 230 under U.S. GAAP,<br />

which requires it to be classified as an operating activity. The following table presents cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities<br />

under MFRS and U.S. GAAP pursuant to the reclassification of interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:<br />

2010 2009 2008<br />

MFRS U.S. GAAP MFRS U.S. GAAP MFRS U.S. GAAP<br />

Cash flows provided by operating activities ................ Ps 21,838 6,009 34,751 20,144 41,272 29,488<br />

Cash flows used in financing activities........................ (24,387) (8,558) (37,146) (22,539) (23,689) (11,905)<br />

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities.. (1,862) (1,862) 5,715 5,715 (14,630) (14,630)<br />

Non-cash activities during 2010, 2009 and 2008 are disclosed in note 2A.<br />

(n) Sales of accounts receivable<br />

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (FASB<br />

Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140) (“ASU 2009-16”). ASU 2009-16<br />

removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity (“QSPE”) from ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, and the exception from applying<br />

ASC 810 10 to QSPEs, thereby requiring transferors of financial assets to evaluate whether to consolidate transferees that previously were considered<br />

QSPEs. Transferor imposed constraints on transferees whose sole purpose is to engage in securitization or asset backed financing activities are<br />

evaluated in the same manner under the provisions of ASU 2009-16 as transferor imposed constraints on QSPEs were evaluated under the provisions<br />

of Topic 860 prior to the effective date of ASU 2009-16 when determining whether a transfer of financial assets qualifies for sale accounting. ASU<br />

2009-16 also clarifies the Topic 860 sale accounting criteria pertaining to legal isolation and effective control and creates more stringent conditions for<br />

reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. ASU 2009-16 was effective for CEMEX beginning January 1, 2010.<br />

Until December 31, 2009, CEMEX accounted for transfers of receivables under MFRS consistently with the rules set forth by ASC 860,<br />

Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). Under ASC 860, transactions that met the criteria for surrender of control were recorded as sales of<br />

receivables and their amounts were removed from the consolidated balance sheet at the time they are sold (note 5). ASC 860-50-30, Transfers<br />

and Servicing - Servicing Assets and Liabilities - Initial Measurement, requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing<br />

liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. ASC 860-50-35, Transfers and Servicing – Servicing Assets and Liabilities –<br />

Subsequent Measurement, permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An<br />

entity should apply the requirements for recognition and initial measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities prospectively to all<br />

similar transactions. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, CEMEX did not determine any reconciling item resulting from<br />

servicing assets and liabilities under U.S. GAAP considering that the effects were immaterial. In arriving at this conclusion CEMEX considered<br />

that the receivables are short-term financial assets with an average collection period of approximately 42 days, and assumed a 1% servicing fee<br />

over its approximately US$807 and US$735 of receivables sold under MFRS at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The result is a<br />

servicing asset of approximately US$8 in 2010 and US$7 in 2009 that would be amortized every 42 days.<br />
