  We reply to comments by P.Marko$\breve{s}$, L.Schweitzer and M.Weyrauch
[preceding paper] on our recent paper [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 63, 13777
(2002)]. We demonstrate that our quite different viewpoints stem for the
different physical assumptions made prior to the choice of the mathematical
formalism. The authors of the Comment expect \emph{a priori} to see a single
thermodynamic phase while our approach is capable of detecting co-existence of
distinct pure phases. The limitations of the transfer matrix techniques for the
multi-dimensional Anderson localization problem are discussed.
