adopter of International Financial Reporting Standards (&#147;IFRS&#148;), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (&#147;IASB&#148;), the Company followed the guidance set forth in SEC&#146;s International Series Release
No.&nbsp;1285, File No. S7-15-04, which established that first-time adopters will be required to provide selected historical financial data based on IFRS for only the two most recent financial years. The Company notes for the Staff that such release
states that a foreign private issuer may still rely on the Instruction to Item&nbsp;3.A in years subsequent to becoming a first-time adopter, thereby allowing it to build up to a five-year history of selected financial data based on IFRS; as a
result, the Company believes that a full five years of IFRS selected financial data will not be required in the years immediately following an issuer&#146;s first-time adoption of IFRS. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

</B>The Company notes and will comply with the Staff&#146;s comment in future filings, by expanding within the Critical Accounting Policies section in its annual report on Form 20-F, its description of the facts and circumstances that led to certain
impairment charges of property, machinery and equipment during the reported periods, as shown in the paragraph below using as an example the impairment charges that occurred during 2011 and 2010 for illustrative purposes: </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>CEMEX has significant balances of property, machinery and equipment. As of December&nbsp;31, 2011 and 2010, the consolidated balances
of property, machinery and equipment, net, represented approximately 43.1% and 43.8%, respectively, of CEMEX&#146;s total consolidated assets. Property, machinery and equipment are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of factors such as the
occurrence of a significant adverse event, changes in CEMEX&#146;s operating environment, changes in projected use or in technology, as well as expectations of lower operating results for each cash generating unit, in order to determine whether
their carrying amounts may not be recovered, in which case an impairment loss, is recorded in the income statements for the period when such determination is made within &#147;Other expenses, net.&#148; The impairment loss of an asset results from
the excess of the asset&#146;s carrying amount over its recoverable amount, corresponding to the higher of the fair value of the asset, less costs to sell such asset, and the asset&#146;s value in use, the latter represented by the net present value
of estimated cash flows related to the use and eventual disposal of the asset. Significant judgment by management is required to appropriately assess the fair values and values in use of these assets. The main assumptions utilized to develop these
estimates are a discount rate that reflects the risk of the cash flows associated with the assets evaluated and the estimations of generation of future income. Those assumptions are evaluated for reasonableness by comparing such discount rates to
market information available and by comparing to third-party expectations of industry growth such as governmental agencies or industry chambers of commerce. </U></FONT></P>

authorities in connection with certain tax positions. As a result, considering the guidance of paragraph 92 in IAS 37, the Company described the general nature of the dispute, together with the fact that, and reason why, the amounts were not
disclosed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Nonetheless, the Company notes and will comply with the Staff&#146;s comment in future filings, by expanding its disclosures to
discuss in more detail changes in income taxes during the current period, as shown in the paragraph below using as example the changes in consolidated income tax expense occurred during 2011. For the Staff&#146;s ease of reference, the proposed new
disclosure is underlined: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes</I>. Our income tax effect in the statement of operations, which is
primarily comprised of current income taxes plus deferred income taxes, increased from an expense of approximately Ps2 billion in 2010 to an expense of Ps12.2 billion in 2011. This increase is mainly attributable to our current income tax expense,
which increased from an expense of approximately Ps4.7 billion in 2010 to an expense of approximately Ps14.3 billion in 2011<U>. This increase in the income tax expense was</U> mainly a result of <U>effects associated with CEMEX&#146;s uncertain tax
positions as follows: a) an income tax revenue related to the expiration of the statute of limitations of certain tax positions for approximately Ps4.2 billion in 2010 as compared to approximately Ps120 million in 2011; b)</U> the income tax expense
recognized during the period associated to changes in the expected outcome in several of our uncertain tax positions<U>, mainly in connection with uncertain tax positions in Mexico,</U> which led to<U> a net</U> increase in our unrecognized tax
benefits provision <U>for approximately Ps3.5 billion in 2011 as compared to a net expense of approximately Ps2.2 billion in 2010; and c) interest and penalties related to the items above</U>. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our deferred tax benefit decreased from a revenue of approximately Ps2.6 billion in 2010 to a revenue of approximately Ps2.1
billion in 2011. The decrease <U>in our deferred tax benefit </U>was primarily attributable to the increase in valuation allowances relating to tax loss carryforwards in certain countries. See notes 18 and 18D to our consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this annual report. For each of the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2010 and 2011, our <U>approximate</U> statutory income tax rate was 30%. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our effective tax rate in 2010 resulted in a negative tax rate of 18.2% <U>(i.e., income tax expense)</U>, considering a loss before income tax of approximately Ps11.4 billion,
while our effective tax rate in 2011 resulted in a negative tax rate of 97.2% <U>(i.e., income tax expense)</U>, considering a loss before income tax of approximately Ps12.6 billion. See &#147;Item 3&#151;Key Information&#151;Risk Factors&#151;The

arbitrary allocations and involve considerable judgment, as a minimum, an entity discloses its cost of sales under this method separately from other expenses, such as administrative or distribution expenses. In addition, paragraphs 85 and 86 of IAS
1, suggest that entities shall present additional line items, headings and subtotals in the statement when such presentation is relevant in order to assist users in understanding the financial performance achieved and in making projections of future
financial performance, considering factors such as materiality and the nature and function of the items of income and expense. Furthermore, paragraph 101 of IAS 1 indicates that expenses are subclassified to highlight components of financial
performance that may differ in terms of frequency, potential for gain and loss and predictability. Considering the factors mentioned above, industry practice, and the fact that there is no specific guidance under IAS 1 that defines: a) the inclusion
and presentation of &#147;Operating Income,&#148; and/or b) the name and/or number of line items, headings and subtotals after meeting the minimum requirements, the Company has deemed convenient for the users of its financial statements to better

Operating EBITDA, represents a relevant measure for CEMEX&#146;s management (note 3 to the Company&#146;s financial statements) as an indicator of top management&#146;s performance and the Company&#146;s ability to internally fund capital
expenditures, as well as a widely accepted financial indicator by the Company&#146;s stakeholders to measure CEMEX&#146;s ability to service or incur debt (note 15 to the Company&#146;s financial statements) and a key element in the Company&#146;s
financial covenants calculations as defined in its financial agreements. The Company believes that including both subtotals provides additional information to users of its statements of operations resulting in a fair presentation of its operating
performance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company notes that its line item &#147;Other expenses, net&#148; in the Company&#146;s statements of

stockholders&#146; equity. For the accounting of this put option, the Company followed the accounting guidance provided by IAS 32 paragraph 23 (the liability side) in conjunction with paragraph 30 of IAS 27 (the equity side). From paragraph 23 of
IAS 32, the Company determined that an entity&#146;s contractual obligation to purchase its own equity instruments gives rise to a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount even if the obligation to purchase is conditional
on the counterparty exercising a right to redeem (i.e., a written put option that gives the counterparty the right to sell an entity&#146;s own equity instruments to the entity for a fixed price). From paragraph 30 of IAS 27, the Company interpreted
that changes in a parent&#146;s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e., transactions with owners in their capacity as such). </FONT></P>

IFRS 8 based on the information internally reviewed by the Company&#146;s Chief Executive Officer. Each major geographic region of the Company (Mexico, United States, Northern Europe, Mediterranean, South America and the Caribbean, and Asia)
represents the level used by the Company to allocate resources and assess performance. Such major geographic regions comprise the Company&#146;s operating segments. The Company has also six Chief Operating Officers, one for each major geographic
region, and these officers allocate resources and assess performance at the level of the countries comprising its respective geographic region. Accordingly, for each major geographic region that does not constitute a single country in itself, such
as Northern Europe, Mediterranean, South America and the Caribbean, and Asia, based on paragraph 13 of IFRS 8, the Company considers also reportable operating segments, the main countries within each of these regions. In respect to the countries
that are reported on an aggregated basis within each major geographic region, the Company considers that they meet the requirements of paragraph 12 of IFRS 8 and none of those exceed individually or in group the materiality thresholds of paragraph
13. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Considering the Staff&#146;s comments, the Company proposes certain amendments to its current disclosure in note 3 to the Company&#146;s

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>CEMEX applies IFRS 8,<I> Operating Segments</I> (&#147;IFRS 8&#148;), for the disclosure of its</U> operating segments<U>, which</U> are defined as the components of an entity <U>that engage in
business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity&#146;s top management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their
performance, and for which discrete financial information is available</U>. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">CEMEX&#146;s<U> main activities are oriented
to</U> the construction industry through the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates <U>and other construction materials</U>. CEMEX operates geographically on a regional basis. <U>Beginning in April
2011, CEMEX&#146;s operations were reorganized into six geographical regions, each under the supervision of a regional president: 1) Mexico, 2) United States, 3) Northern Europe, 4) Mediterranean, 5) South America and the Caribbean, and 6) Asia.
</U>Each regional president supervises and is responsible for all the business activities in the countries comprising the region. These activities refer to the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates
<U>and other construction materials, the allocation of resources and the review of their performance and operating results</U>. The country manager, who is one level below the regional president in the organizational structure, reports the
<U>performance and</U> operating results of <U>its</U> country to the regional president, including all the operating sectors. CEMEX&#146;s top management internally evaluates the results and performance of each country and region for
decision-making purposes<U> and allocation of resources</U>, following a vertical integration approach<U> considering: a) that the operating components that comprise the reported segment have similar economic characteristics; b) that the reported
segments are used by CEMEX to organize and evaluate its activities in its internal information system; c) the homogeneous nature of the items produced and traded in each operative component, which are all used by the construction industry; d) the
vertical integration in the value chain of the products comprising each component; e) the type of clients, which are substantially similar in all components; f) the operative integration among components; and g) that the compensation system of a
specific country is based on the consolidated results of the geographic segment and not on the particular results of the components</U>. According to this approach, in CEMEX&#146;s daily operations, management allocates economic resources<U> and
evaluates operating results </U>on a country basis rather than on an operating component basis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Based on IFRS 8 and

widely accepted financial indicator to measure CEMEX&#146;s ability to service or incur debt (note 15 to the Company&#146;s financial statements). Operating EBITDA should not be considered as an indicator of CEMEX&#146;s financial performance, as
alternative to cash flow, as a measure of liquidity or as being comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. This indicator, which is presented in the selected financial information by geographic operating segment, is consistent
with the information used by CEMEX&#146;s management for decision-making purposes. The accounting policies applied to determine the financial information by geographic operating segment are consistent with those described in note 2 to the
Company&#146;s financial statements. CEMEX recognizes sales and other transactions between related parties based on market values. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>Note

expenses are normally measured as a constant proportion of revenues, following past experience. However, such operating expenses are also reviewed considering external information sources in respect to inputs that behave according to international
prices, such as gas and oil.</U> CEMEX uses specific pre-tax discount rates for each reporting unit, which are applied to discount pre-tax cash flows. The amounts of estimated undiscounted cash flows are significantly sensitive to the growth rate in
perpetuity applied. Likewise, the amounts of discounted estimated future cash flows are significantly sensitive to the weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) applied. The higher the growth rate in perpetuity applied, the higher the amount
obtained of undiscounted future cash flows by reporting unit. Conversely, the higher the discount rate applied, the lower the amount obtained of discounted estimated future cash flows by reporting unit. </FONT></P>

a) the United States construction industry have experienced a two and half years &#147;slump&#148; that has affected significantly the Company&#146;s operations in that country and consequently its overall generation of cash flows; b) the
Company&#146;s significant amount of consolidated debt and operating under the financing agreement has also affected significantly the Company&#146;s valuation considering the high uncertainty perceived by all stakeholders regarding the
Company&#146;s odds of successfully achieving a new refinancing of its debt with its main creditors; and c) the Company believes there is also an effect in its market capitalization originated by the transfer of capitals from variable income
securities in developing countries to fixed income securities in countries like the United States and Germany. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The results of
the goodwill impairment tests performed as of December&nbsp;31, 2011, also found a reduction in the Company&#146;s aggregate value in use compared with the tests performed in 2010 of approximately 12%; the decrease in the value in use was, however,
smaller than the reduction in market capitalization during 2011 of approximately 48%. The Company notes for the Staff that, since the recovery in the U.S. market is apparently under consolidation after improved results posted by all industry members
in the first quarter of 2012 and the expectations going forward, and the Company has communicated its plan and efforts to achieve a new financing agreement with its main creditors ahead of the maturity of the current agreement in 2014, as of
June&nbsp;30, 2012, the market capitalization of the Company has improved by approximately 31% as compared to the valuation as of December&nbsp;31, 2011, situation that reinforces the Company&#146;s diagnosis mentioned above. </FONT></P>

cement consumption that can be assumed from the structural demand curve and, for this reason, are less influenced overall by short-term changes. Short-term changes, on the other hand, correspond to the timeframe now typically adopted by many
investors and, together with the volatility in risk propensity levels, have an incisive influence on share prices, which are particularly sensitive during exceptional periods of stress in the financial markets such as the closing months of 2011.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>For the recognition of deferred tax assets and their corresponding valuation allowance, CEMEX analyses the aggregate
amount of self-determined tax loss carryforwards included in its income tax returns in each country where CEMEX believes, based on available evidence, that the tax authorities would not reject such tax loss carryforwards; and the likelihood of the
recoverability of such tax loss carryforwards prior to their expiration through an analysis of estimated future taxable income. If CEMEX believes that it is probable that the tax authorities would reject a self-determined deferred tax asset, it
would decrease such asset. Likewise, if CEMEX believes that it would not be able to use a tax loss carryforward before its expiration, CEMEX would increase its valuation reserve. Both situations would result in additional income tax expense for the
period in which such determination is made. In order to determine whether it is probable that deferred tax assets will ultimately be realized, CEMEX takes into consideration all available positive and negative evidence, including factors such as
market conditions, industry analysis, expansion plans, projected taxable income, carryforward periods, current tax structure, potential changes or adjustments in tax structure, tax planning strategies, future reversals of existing temporary
differences, etc. In addition, every reporting period, CEMEX analyzes its actual results versus its estimates, and adjusts, as necessary, its tax asset valuations. If actual results vary from CEMEX&#146;s estimates, the deferred tax asset and/or
valuations may be affected and necessary adjustments will be made based on relevant information. Any adjustments recorded will affect CEMEX&#146;s statements of operations in such period</U>. </FONT></P>

the Company&#146;s management to allocate resources and evaluate performance in the countries in which the Company operates, which include expected growth in revenues and reductions in interest expense in several countries due to a reduction in
intra-group debt balances, along with the implementation of feasible tax strategies, the Company believes that it will recover the balance of its tax loss carryforwards that have not been reserved before their expiration. In addition, CEMEX
concluded that, the deferred tax liabilities that were considered in the analysis of recoverability of its deferred tax assets, will reverse in the same period and tax jurisdiction of the related unreserved deferred tax assets.</U> </FONT></P>

According to the terms of the plan, from the total number of shares to be issued at the date of the Company&#146;s financial statements (174,934 million shares as of December&nbsp;31, 2011), the
Company believes that a third of such amount will certainly be issued. Moreover, upon involuntary termination of the working relationship at any time during the four year span, which at the organizational level of the executives receiving stock
under the plan is the usual cause for employment termination, the executive receives 100% of the shares yet to be vested. Consequently, the Company considered that as of the date of the Company&#146;s financial statements, there was no uncertainty
regarding the number of shares that will be issued in the future under the outstanding LTIP, which in the Company&#146;s view, assimilate the LTIP to a mandatorily convertible instrument. As a result, for purposes of the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding, the Company decided to include the number of shares to be issued under the LTIP. In addition, the Company hereby confirms to the Staff that the inclusion or exclusion of the full or a partial number of shares yet to be
issued associated to its LTIP in the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding in 2011 and 2010 did not have any effect on the reported amounts of basic loss per share. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
