Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Participants and Administrator of
The MasTec, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of The MasTec, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, which 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 a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1999 is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Description of Plan
The following description of The MasTec, Inc. (the "Company" or "MasTec")
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general
information. The Plan agreement contains a more complete description of the
Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of the
Company who are age twenty-one or older and have six months of service.
Eligible participants may enter the Plan on January 1 or July 1. It is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 ("ERISA") and is exempt from federal and state income taxes.
The Plan is administered by the Employee Benefits Committee (Plan
Administrator) of MasTec, Inc. Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company
is the Recordkeeper of the Plan for all funds except for the MasTec Common
Stock Fund which the Trustee is Norwest Bank, Minnesota, N.A. Plan assets
are held by the Recordkeeper.
Contributions
Participants may contribute from 1% to 15% of their pre-tax annual
compensation, subject to certain dollar amount limits, as defined in the
plan agreement. The maximum contribution allowed during 1999 and 1998 was
$10,000.
Company contributions are 25% of each dollar up to 4% of the participant's
gross salary. The Company match is exclusively in MasTec Common Stock.
Whether and to what extent the Company will match employee contributions
beyond 1999 will be at MasTec's discretion.
Effective January 1, 2000, Company contributions will be 50% of each dollar
up to 4% of the participant's gross salary.
During 1999 and 1998, the defined contribution plans of certain companies
acquired by MasTec, Inc. were converted to the Plan, and the related
employees became participants of the Plan. The net assets of these plans
were converted at a fair value of approximately $1,740,000 and $6,653,000,
respectively and invested in the Plan in accordance with the related
employees investment option elections. Such amounts are included as

the participant accounts earnings. Each participant's account is reduced by
any withdrawals or distributions and an allocation of (a) his share of
investment losses and depreciation in value of investments and (b) any

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed by the Plan are as follows:
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Risk and Uncertainties
The plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment
securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect
participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of
net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits.

Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are valued by the recordkeeper (Note 1) and are
stated at fair value using quoted market prices.
Purchase and sales transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Any
gain or loss resulting from the sale of fund units is determined as the
difference between the sales proceeds and the average cost of the units
sold. Investment income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Investment Income
The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits the net appreciation/depreciation in the fair value of its
investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
Participant Withdrawals
Withdrawals made by participants are recorded when paid.
Administrative Costs
All administrative expenses of the Plan, including, without limitation, the
allocable portion of compensation of plan administrative staff and fees of
employee benefits consultants, legal counsel, and auditors' fees are
chargeable to the Plan. The Company may, at its sole discretion, pay any
such expenses, in whole or in part. The Company assumed responsibility for
administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
3. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
4. Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
letter dated June 17, 1997, that the Plan is designed in accordance with
applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving
the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator and the Plan's
legal counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
