Now, we prove that if (C [??] H, [beta] [cross product] [alpha]) is a Hom- crossed coproduct then the conditions (C) and (TC) are satisfied.

Note that if (C [??] H, [beta] [cross product] [alpha]) is a Hom- crossed coproduct, then the map [pi] : C [??] H [right arrow] C, defined by [pi](c [cross product] h) = [epsilon](h)[[beta].sup.-1] (c), is a Hom-coalgebra map, and we will also define the map [theta] : C [??] H [right arrow] H, [theta](c [cross product]h) = [epsilon](c)[[alpha].sup.-1](h).
