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.

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.

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
<PAGE>
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.

NOTE 4. VALUATION STANDARDS
The valuation criteria used by the Company were as follows:
A) Standardization of items.
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>
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
<PAGE>
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
<PAGE>
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.

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).

Item 7(b) - Pro forma financial information
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as
of March 31, 1996 reflects the financial position of the Company after giving
effect to the April 30, 1996 acquisition of Sistemas e Instalaciones de
Telecomunicacion, S.A. ("Sintel") , a former wholly owned subsidiary of
Telefonica de Espana, S.A. ("Telefonica") as if the Sintel acquisition took
place on March 31, 1996. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Continuing Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
and the three months ended March 31, 1996 are presented as if the acquisition
occurred on January 1, 1995 and are based on the results of continuing
operations of the Company and Sintel for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
the three months ended March 31, 1996. The pro forma adjustments include the
sale of certain buildings by Sintel to Telefonica and the repayment by
Telefonica of certain tax credits which occurred on April 1, 1996. These
adjustments along with a capital contribution made by Telefonica to Sintel on
March 28, 1996, are herein after referred to as the "Related Transactions".
The unaudited combined pro forma financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only, giving effect to the Sintel acquisition and Related
Transactions, accounted for as a "purchase", as such term is used under
generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited combined pro forma
financial information is not necessarily indicative of the future financial
position or future results of continuing operations of the Company, or of the
financial position or results from continuing operations of the Company that
would have actually occurred had the transactions been in effect as of the date
or for the periods presented. In addition, there are certain special charges,
primarily severance costs, included in the operating results of Sintel totaling
$30.2 million and $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, respectively. The operating results of MasTec
for the year ended December 31, 1995 include other special charges totaling
$23.1 million relating to the write down of real estate and other non-operating
investments held for sale to estimated net realizable value. It should also be
noted that the Company's consolidated statement of operations will reflect the
Sintel acquisition commencing on April 30, 1996, the closing date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and
related notes of the Company and Sintel.
Certain amounts reported in the Sintel historical consolidated financial
information have been reclassified to conform with the MasTec presentations in
the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet and Statements of Continuing
Operations. The historical consolidated financial statements of Sintel included
in Item 7(a) above have been translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 "Foreign Currency
Translation" utilizing the exchange rate in effect at March 31, 1996 of 124
pesetas to $1 and the average exchange rate of 124 pesetas to $1 and 127 pesetas
to $1 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 and the year ended
December 31, 1995, respectively.

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.
