            AUDITORS' REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



To the Shareholders
of Sintel, S.A.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
SINTEL, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 1995, and 1994,
the related consolidated statements of income, and changes in
shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995, and the cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1995 all expressed in
Spanish Pesetas.  These financial statements are responsibility
of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with general accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Sintel, S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and
1995, and the results of their operations for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

(2), (4) and (5) Consolidated since Sintel has a majority of the voting rights. (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10) Carried by the equity method since Sintel exercises significant management influence. The data in the foregoing tables were furnished by the Group companies and their net worth position is disclosed in their audited financial statements, except for Sintel Abengoa, Servicios 2.000 A.I.E. and Sinaben Multimedia, which did not fall within the minimum statutory audit requirements as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. In view of the political and economic situation in Venezuela, the Venezuelan government has intervened to control the outflow of foreign currencies. This situation, together with the devaluation of the bolivar, gave rise to a significant loss in the translation at year-end exchange rates of Sintel Venezuela's foreign currency balances with the Parent Company Sintel S.A. Management of the Company considers that the situation will be remedied in the short run. The Company's sole shareholder is Telefonica de Espana, S.A. Consequently, as required by (Spanish corporation law) section 23 of the Second Additional Provision of Limited Liability Companies Law 2/1995, which makes the legal system stipulated for sole-shareholder limited liability companies applicable to sole-shareholder corporations, the Company: Registered the status and identity of the shareholder of the sole-shareholder company in the Mercantile Register. Keeps an updated register-book of any contracts entered into with the sole shareholder, which is periodically legalized in the Mercantile Register. The contracts between Sintel, S.A. and Telefonica de Espana, S.A. ("Telefonica")in 1995 were mainly of two kinds: comprehensive service contracts and individual project or service contracts, which are awarded by public call for tenders. The detail, by type, of the comprehensive service contracts is as follows: Contract Expiration Economic Conditions - - Lines and Cables 12/31/98 - Price per certified scale point, variable based on province - May be terminated by either party in September 1997 - - Wiring system and trenches 12/31/97 - Price per certified scale point, variable based on province - - Single line 12/31/96 - Price per certified scale point, variable based on province - - Multi-line 04/30/96 - Price per certified scale point The transactions with Telefonica in 1995 and 1994 are detailed in Note 18.2. Page 13 of 49 NOTE 2. PROPOSED ALLOCATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY'S LOSS The Company's directors will propose at the Shareholders' Meeting that the 1995 loss be allocated to "Prior Years' Losses". The 1994 loss was allocated to "Prior Years' Losses". NOTE 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A) The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared from the accounting records of Sintel and of its Subsidiaries (see Note 1), whose respective financial statements were prepared by the directors of each company in accordance with the Spanish National Chart of Accounts as approved by Royal Decree dated December 20, 1990 and Royal Decree 1815/1991 and, accordingly, they give a true and fair view of the net worth, financial position and results of the Sintel Group. The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1995, were prepared by the directors of Sintel, S.A., according to the structure of with the Spanish National Chart of Accounts and were adapted to US GAAP. B) Accounting principles The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles of prudence, going concern, cost, accrual basis, revenue and expense matching, no offset, consistency and materiality. The income from projects is recognized as explained in Note 4 since it is a more appropriate way to present a true and fair view of the net worth, financial position and results of the Sintel group. C) Consolidation principles The companies at which there is effective control in their representation and decision-making bodies were consolidated by the global integration method; those in which there is significant influence but not ownership of a majority of the voting rights were consolidated by the equity method All significant accounts and transactions between consolidated companies were eliminated in consolidation. The equity of minority interests in stockholders' equity and results of the consolidation of affiliates is presented under the "Minority Interests" and "Income Attributed to Minority Interests" captions in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operation, respectively (see Note 11). The effect of inclusion, by the equity method, of the holdings in associated companies in the consolidated balance sheets is reflected under the "Reserves at Companies Carried by the Equity Method" and "Share in the Income/Losses of Companies Carried by the Equity Method" captions, as appropriate. Page 14 of 49 The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include the tax effect of the incorporation of the subsidiaries' reserves to the Sintel consolidated annual accounts, due to the fact that the reserves have not been transferred and will not be distributed at the end of the period, and will be used as a financing source of the subsidiaries to reduce their indebtness. D) Comparative information The following companies were included in consolidation for the first time in 1995 and 1994: Company Registered Offices 1995 : Group and multigroup companies SINABEN MULTIMEDIA A.I.E. C/ ARTE, 21 MADRID (SPAIN) 1994 : Group and multigroup companies SINTEL VENEZUELA 22. AVDA. CAMPO ALEGRE QUINTA No. 11 CARACAS (VENEZUELA) SINTEL PERU AVDA.

The financial statements of the individual companies have been formulated following homogeneous accounting principles. For those companies where different principles have been used, the corresponding adjustment was done in the process of consolidation, in order to present the annual consolidated accounts on a homogeneus basis. B) Adjustment of balance sheets of foreign companies. The items in the balance sheet and income statement of foreign companies are adjusted, before being translated to pesetas, for the effects of the changes in prices, in accordance with the rules applicable for these purposes in the country where the foreign company is located. C) Translation methods (year-end exchange rates) The financial statements of the foreign Group companies were translated to pesetas at the exchange rates ruling at year-end (December 31, 1995 and 1994), except for: 1. Capital stock, which was translated at historical exchange rates. 2. Reserves, which were translated at the average exchange rates in the years in which they arose. 3. Income statement balances, which were translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The exchange difference arising from application of this method is included under the "Shareholder's Equity - Translation Differences" caption in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of the portion relating to minority interests, which is presented under the "Minority Interests" caption of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. D) Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expenses as incurred. Expenditures for betterment's and major improvements are capitalized. The Companies depreciate its tangible fixed assets by the straight-line method at rates based on the following years of estimated useful life: Years of Estimated ASSET Useful Life Buildings and other structures (brand new assets) 50 Buildings and other structures (second hand assets) 25 Machinery 7 Tools 3 Vehicles 7 Furniture 10 Computer hardware 4 Meter-reading equipment 10 Installations 14 Page 16 of 49 E) Other loans granted The balance of the "Financial Investments - Other Loans" caption relates basically to Sintelar's long-term receivables from its customer Telecom. F) Inventories Inventories (raw materials and other supplies) are valued at the lower of average cost or market. "Work-in-Process" and "Completed Work" are carried at cost of the allocated items (mainly direct labor and outsourced services) Obsolete, defective and slow-moving inventories have been reduced to net realizable value. G) Subsidies Operating subsidies are credited to the statement of operations in the year in which they are granted. The subsidies granted in 1995 and 1994 relate basically to social security allowances for training courses. H) Liability for pensions In 1990 the Parent Company Sintel, S.A. reached an agreement with its employees in connection with the pension commitments established by the collective labor agreement and the internal regulations. Under this agreement, a pension plan was set up at Gestion de Prevision y Pensiones, S.A. (Argentaria). The Company undertook to make annual contributions of 2.384% of the fixed compensation (2% for employees who joined the Company after November 4, 1990). The liability registered by the Company as of December 31, 1990, to cover all the liabilities incurred in this regard at that date, amounted to approximately Ptas. 2,133,521,000, based on the calculations by independent actuaries, using individual capitalization techniques and an assumed interest of 6%. Under the financial rebalancing plan set up with Gestion de Prevision y Pensiones, S.A. (Argentaria), approximately Ptas. 470,000,000 were contributed to this Company in 1990, and the remaining amounts incurred at that date and the related interest were to be paid over 33 years, as agreed in the plan. Contributions to the fund in 1995 amounted to approximately Ptas. 81,684,000 (approximately Ptas. 78,542,000 in 1994), in accordance with the financial rebalancing plan mentioned above, and approximately Ptas. 53,875,000, to cover the unamortized amounts for past services of employees who left the Company due to retirement, disability or death in 1995. Additionally, Ptas. 106,838,000 have been recorded to cover the financial expenses due to the amounts pending to be paid to Gestion de Prevision y Pensiones, S.A. for the past services. Approximately Ptas. 178,813,000 were paid in 1995 (Ptas. 190,349,000 in 1994) and recorded under "Personnel Expenses" relating to current obligations for the year. Page 17 of 49 I) Other provisions for contingencies and expenses This relates to the estimated amount required for probable or certain third-party liability arising from litigation in progress or from outstanding indemnity payments or obligations of undetermined amount, and guarantees provided by the Company. This provision is recorded when the contingency or obligation giving rise to the indemnity or payment arises. J) Extraordinary long-service bonus Under the collective labor agreement in force, the Parent Company Sintel, S.A. is required to pay an extraordinary bonus equal to one month's current salary to employees reaching 25 years of uninterrupted service at the Company. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had recorded a provision of approximately Ptas. 245,196,000 for the liability incurred in this connection through that date, which is included under the "Accrued liabilities long term" caption on the accompanying balance sheet. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had recorded a provision of approximately Ptas. 230,657,000 in this connection. K) Corporate income tax The expense for corporate income tax of each year is calculated on the basis of book income before taxes, increased or decreased, as appropriate, by the permanent differences from taxable income, net of tax relief and tax credits. The corporate income tax expense was recorded taking into account, where applicable, the resolutions adopted by Telefonica based on the ICAC resolution dated April 30, 1992, establishing the criteria for the recording of corporate income tax at companies which file consolidated tax returns. Prepaid taxes are only recognized in assets insofar as their realization in the future is reasonably assured. The tax arising from the income obtained from sales to Telefonica de Espana, S.A. by the companies consolidated for tax purposes and pending collection from third parties is deferred for tax purposes by the Group. The effect of this deferral, arising from the aforementioned Telefonica transactions, is recorded under the "Investments - Loans to Telefonica Group Companies" and "Other Long-Term Payables- Accrued Taxes Payable" captions. L) Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency balances are translated to pesetas at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange losses are charged to period income. Exchange gains are credited to income when they arise. At December, 31 1995, 1994 and 1993 no significant exchange gains are pending to be recorded. M) Recognition of revenue and expenses Revenue and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis. In accordance with the accounting principle of prudence, the Company only records realized income at year-end, whereas foreseeable contingencies and losses, including possible losses, are recorded as soon as they become known. Page 18 of 49 Revenues from projects taking over one year are valued by adding to the cost incurred the expected profit margin, which is calculated on the basis of the percentage of completion of the project proportionally between the estimated cost and the contractual selling price. If the difference between the resulting value and the billings made is positive, it is recorded in the "Customer Receivables - Unissued Billings" account under the "Accounts Receivable - Customer Receivables" and "Accounts Receivable - Receivable from Group Companies" captions. If the difference is negative, the excess billings are recorded under in the "Customer Advances" account under the "Trade Accounts Payable- billings in excess of costs" caption. The result on the scaled projects of the Telecommunication Networks division is estimated on the basis of the monthly percentage of completion and the sale price agreed upon with Telefonica de Espana, S.A. (under general agreements). The completed work not yet billed to Telefonica is included under the "Receivable from Group Companies - Receivable from Group Companies for Accrued Billings" caption. The "Customer Receivables - Unissued Billings" caption also includes the balances, valued at selling price, of services rendered and pending final billing. If losses are expected, the related provisions are recorded for their full amount. N) Termination indemnities Under current labor regulations, Sintel, S.A. is required to make indemnity payments to employees terminated under certain conditions. As of December 31, 1995, management of Sintel, S.A. had reached an agreement with the workers' representatives in connection with the early retirement of 35 employees in the period 1996 through 1999. A provision of approximately Ptas. 529,524,000 was recorded in 1995 in this connection, under the caption "Personnel expenses" in the accompanying statement of operations.

The Parent Company granted no loans to the Board members and provided no guarantees for them. Page 39 of 49 19.2 Future prospects As a result of the extraordinary losses arising from the labor force restructuring, the Parent Company incurred significant losses in 1995, although income was obtained from ordinary activities. Management forecasts for 1996 sustained sales which, together with the effects of the 1995 restructuring, would enable the Parent Company to return to a profit-making situation. However, the Parent Company's business activities and operations largely depend on its future financial capacity, backed by the financing received through Telfisa (see Note 14), and on the sales to its major customer and sole shareholder, Telefonica de Espana, S.A. (see Note 18.2). NOTE 20.

Page 44 of 49 Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information 1. Terms of the Acquisition- On April 30, 1996 (the closing date), MasTec purchased all of the outstanding stock of Sintel from Telefonica for Spanish Pesetas ("Pesetas") 4.9 billion (US$39.5 million at an exchange rate of 124 Pesetas to $1 U.S. dollar). An initial payment of Pesetas 650 million (US $5.2 million) was made on April 30, 1996, a second payment of Pesetas 650 million (US $5.2 million) is due December 31, 1996 and the balance of the purchase price, Pesetas 3.6 billion (US$ 29.1 million), is due to be paid in two equal installments at year-end 1997 and 1998. As part of the purchase and sale agreement, Telefonica made a capital contribution of Pesetas 3 billion (US$ 24.2 million) on March 28, 1996 and on April 1, 1996 purchased several buildings for Pesetas 1.5 billion (US$ 12 million ) and repaid tax credits previously utilized by Telefonica of Pesetas 581 million (US$ 4.7 million). The capital contribution, sale of buildings and repayment of tax credits are herein referred to as the Related Transactions. The proceeds generated by the Related Transactions totaling US$ 41 million were used to reduce Sintel's outstanding debt. 2. Purchase Price Allocation-The purchase price of $39.5 million plus expenses of $ 162,000 have been allocated to the estimated fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities after taking into consideration the Related Transactions previously described. Managements' preliminary estimate of fair value approximated that of the carrying value of the net assets acquired as of March 31, 1996 after reflecting a reserve for involuntary employee termination benefits of $ 9.5 million and the resulting deferred tax asset of $3.4 million. The final allocation will be contingent upon final assessment of the fair value of the net assets acquired. The allocation reflects management's best estimate based upon currently available information and significant differences from that currently presented are not expected. 3.Related Transaction Adjustments-The following adjustments have been made to reflect all of the Related Transactions which were consummated on April 1, 1996. No adjustment has been made regarding the capital contribution of $24.2 million as this transaction is reflected in Sintel's March 31, 1996 Consolidated Balance Sheet (see Note 1) ( dollars in thousands): 3a)To reduce property, at cost, net of accumulated depreciation to reflect sale to Telefonica $ 5,948 3b)To record taxes payable related to gain of $6,052 on sale of property to Telefonica $ 2,118 3c)To record net gain on sale of property $ 3,934 3d)To reduce long term investments to reflect the repayment by Telefonica of tax credits utilized by Telefonica in prior periods $ 4,648 3e)To reduce Sintel's long term debt with the proceeds from the sale of buildings and repayment of tax credits $ 16,648 4. Purchase Price Payment and Financing Adjustments-To record $5.2 million dollar payment made to Telefonica on the closing date in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, which was assumed to be financed by MasTec for purposes of the pro forma adjustments, the financing by Telefonica of the balance of the purchase price ( $34.3 million of which $5.2 million is current and $29.1 million is long term ) and $162,000 in anticipated expenses. Page 46 of 49 5.Adjustments related to Equity Method Accounting- Although the Company exercises control over the daily operations of Sintelar and Sintel Peru ( 50% and 38% ownership, respectively), as a result of the acquisition, Sintel no longer has an indirect holding in these entities ( see Note 1 to Sintel's Consolidated Financial Statements). Accordingly, the following adjustments have been made to reflect the investment in Sintelar and Sintel Peru under the equity method of accounting: March 31, 1996 Reduce : Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,323 Accounts receivable 27,999 Inventories 1,398 Other current assets 833 Property-net 2,876 Long term investments 2,171 Other assets 366 Accounts payable and accrued expenses 18,835 Current portion of long term debt 8,493 Other liabilities 196 Minority interest 7,016 Increase: Investment in unconsolidated companies 6,427 Three months ended Year ended March 31, 1996 December 31, 1995 Reduce: Revenue $ 21,207 $ 114,828 Costs of revenue 16,755 96,187 General and administrative expenses 3,001 14,327 Depreciation and amortization 392 1,345 Interest expense 459 3,548 Interest income 219 1,357 Other expense (income), net 1,821 337 Adjust: Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated companies 533 (167) Provision (benefit) for income taxes 0 268 Minority interest 468 ( 679) 6.
