                       PUERTO RICAN CEMENT COMPANY, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


         In the opinion of the Registrant, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly its financial
position at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994.  The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.

         Cash and cash equivalents increased to $8.6 million at September 30,
1995 from $115,000 at December 31, 1994 when the Company decided to shift part
of its long-term investments to shorter maturities as part of its strategic
plan to purchase two ready-mixed concrete companies.  These investments
consisted principally of short-term obligations of the U.S. Federal Government
or its agencies.  Long-term investments were principally obligations of the
U.S. Federal Government or its agencies with maturities ranging from more than
one year to up to 7 years.  All these investments resulted from excess funds
generated from operations.

         Consolidated inventories of $31.7 million at September 30, 1995 were
9% higher than the $28.9 million balance at December 31, 1994.  Increases in
coal inventories of $877,000, as the result of the timing of shipments
received, and in spare parts' inventories of $1.6 million, mostly from
equipment related to the mills' conversion project, contributed significantly
to this fluctuation.

         Prepaid expenses increased 27% to approximately $5.0 million as of
September 30, 1995 compared with $3.9 million as of December 31, 1994.  The
increase mainly resulted from prepayments of property tax, municipal license
and other taxes scheduled during the second  quarter of the year.  The balances
of these prepayments will be fully amortized at year-end.

         The decrease of $1.5 million in the current portion of long-term debt
reflected the refinancing of the 9.9% dry process conversion loan.  Accrued
liabilities increased $1.3 million due mainly to accruals related to the
Christmas Bonus payable in December to the Company's employees.

         In September 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 17
cents per share dividend on its common stock, payable on November 13, 1995 to
stockholders of record on October 13, 1995.  As of September 30, 1995, the
Company had 5,419,200 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Working capital increased from $30.4 million at December 31, 1994 to
$45.7 million at September 30, 1995 as the result of the previously mentioned
increase in short-term investments.  The current ratio increased from  2.8 to 1
at December 31, 1994 to 4.4 to 1 at September 30, 1995.

         Net cash provided by operations totaled $14.9 million for this period.
This cash was principally used to: a) pay $2.8 million in dividends, b) repay
$2.4 million in short-term borrowing, c) increase total investments by $2.4
million and d) repurchase, in April 1995, 75,000 shares of the Company's common
stock for $2.2 million.

         During the nine-month period ended on September 30, 1995, the Company
invested $8.6 million in new capital additions, including $6.3 million on the
mills' conversion project.  These capital additions were offset by $5.2 million
in depreciation for the period.

         The net increase in long-term debt (including the current portion) of
$3.6 million was due principally to proceeds from loans related to the mills'
conversion project.  Approximate aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the
remainder of 1995 and thereafter are as follows:

Results of Operations

         Consolidated net sales of $22.4 million for the third quarter of 1995
were 5% lower than net sales of $23.5 million for the same period of 1994.
Cement sales in bags declined 8% from 5,230,000 bags during the third quarter
of 1994 to 4,790,000 bags for this quarter.  This decline was the result of
interruptions of construction projects during the latter part of the quarter
caused by unfavorable weather conditions, including various hurricane warnings,
in the Caribbean region.  For the nine-month period ended in September,
consolidated net sales decreased less than 1% to $70.3 million in 1995 from
$70.8 million for the same period in 1994.

          Net sales in the paper and bag division for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1995 grew 12% to $7.3 million from $6.5 million for the
same period in 1994 due to higher sales in the small bags (pockets) department.
However, a major increases in paper costs affected results for the period.

         Gross margins as a percentage of total sales improved from  29.7% for
the third quarter of 1994 to 33.4% for the third quarter of 1995 due to a
reduction in the average cost of sales per bag of cement.  For the nine-month
period, gross margins improved from 34.3 % in 1994 to 36.1% in 1995.  The
decrease in cost of sales per bag resulted mostly from a significant decline in
repairs and maintenance expenses for the period.  In 1994 the Company completed
major overall maintenance and replacement work on its dry process equipment.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter totaled
$3.2 million, an increase of 7% over the third quarter of 1994, resulting
primarily from increases in salaries, wages and related fringe benefits.   For
the nine-month period ended on September 30, 1995, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1.1 million from the amount in the same
period in 1994 because of increased salaries and related fringe benefits
expenses, higher pension and other postretirement benefits resulting from
changes in the interest rate assumptions used in the actuarial calculations,
and higher consulting fees.

         Interest and financial charges for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995 decreased 12% to $1.5 million from $1.7 million in the same
period in 1994.  For the quarter the decrease of $101,000 in interest and
financial charges represented a reduction of 17% when compared with the same
period of 1994.  This reduction resulted principally from lower interest rates
on the Company's outstanding loans.  Interest capitalized as part of the mills'
conversion project totaled $804,000 and $385,000 for the first nine months of
1995 and 1994, respectively.

         Consolidated interest income increased from $1.6 million for the first
nine months of 1994 to $1.8 million for the first nine months of 1995.  This
increase of 11% resulted from the combination of a higher average amount of
investments for the nine-months period and improved interest rates on these
investments.  The increase of $416,000 in other income for the nine months
period consisted principally of a gain on the sale of equipment.
