The Company, pursuant to a resolution of its shareholders and the Board of
Directors, appointed Deloitte & Touche ("Deloitte & Touche") as the Company's
independent accountants, effective October 7, 1999. Deloitte & Touche replaced
PricewaterhouseCoopers Mexico ("PricewaterhouseCoopers"), which served as the

31, 1997, the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 and through October 7, 1999,
and was dismissed, effective October 7, 1999.
The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers on the Company's financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, and for the period November 17, 1997 to
December 31, 1997, contained no adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
During the period November 17, 1997 to December 31, 1997, the Company's fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998, and for the period November 17, 1997 to December
31, 1997 and through October 7, 1999, the Company (i) had no disagreements with
PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, which
disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers,
would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the
financial statements of the Company for such periods and (ii) had no reportable
events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
A copy of this Form 6-K was previously presented to Pricewaterhouse Coopers who
