ITEM 1. BUSINESS

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         On March 18, 2002 the Company's Board of Directors approved, subject to
necessary shareholder approvals, the acquisition of 100% of Mt. Franklin
Holdings LLC (Franklin). Franklin owns 100% of Franklin Connections LP, a
general line candy manufacturer with a current annual installed capacity of
approximately 70 million pounds and a retail/food service nut packing company
located in El Paso, Texas. The Board of Directors also approved the acquisition
of 100% of the outstanding stock of Franklin Inmobiliarios, S.A. de C.V.
(Inmobiliarios) which owns the approximately 175,000 sq.ft. candy manufacturing
building used in Franklin in Juarez, Mexico. The acquisitions are expected to
close in April, 2002.

         The acquisition of both Franklin and Inmobiliarios will be accomplished
by the issuance of approximately 1,846,000 shares of restricted Elamex stock and
approximately $1,145,000 in cash. This transaction will result in total
outstanding Elamex shares of approximately 8,712,000 of which 55.6% will be
owned by Accel, S.A. de C.V. or its related affiliates. The issuance of the
Elamex shares is subject to authorization by the Elamex shareholders at a
extraordinary shareholders' meeting planned for April 19, 2002, which meeting
will be held in conjunction with Elamex's annual shareholders' meeting scheduled
for the same day.

         Franklin is currently owned 32.9% by Accel, S.A. de C.V., which
currently owns 59% of Elamex. Inmobiliarios is currently owned 50% by a company
in which the Chairman of the Board of Elamex is a principal. All of the cash
paid will be used to acquire the ownership interests of Franklin. The cash
portion of this transaction will be paid only to non-related third parties, not
to Accel or any party related to the Chairman of the Board of Elamex.

         Simultaneous with the acquisition of these two companies, the Board of
Directors has also approved the infusion of $7.5 million of new equity into
Franklin to repay short term demand loans previously made to Franklin by Elamex
and to provide additional general working capital for the Franklin business. A
demand loan totaling $2.0 million was provided to Franklin in February 2002 to
meet continuing cash flow needs and were guaranteed by the chairman of the board
of Elamex and another principal of Inmobiliarios.

OVERVIEW

         Elamex is a 29-year-old manufacturing services provider, incorporated
in Mexico, quoted on NASDAQ and with headquarters in El Paso, Texas. Elamex
provides manufacturing services through operations located in both Mexico and
the United States. Elamex provides high quality finished goods to Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) pursuant to manufacturing contracts. Elamex
focuses on the effective management of assembly processes, which range from
assembly-only services managed by the customer or by Elamex, to full materials
procurement and assembly contracts.

         Elamex's customers are primarily U.S. companies, mainly in the
appliance, telecommunications, automotive, confectionery and medical industries.
Elamex's sales contracts generally call for payment in U.S. dollars and,
accordingly, its revenues are in U.S. dollars. Financing is obtained in the same
currency. Elamex's corporate offices are located in El Paso, Texas and its
Mexican based manufacturing services facilities are located within 12 miles of
the U.S. border, the El Paso International Airport, and rail and truck depots in
El Paso, Texas. Elamex currently has 19 facilities in the U.S. and Mexico to
serve its customers. Elamex prepares financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP) and also maintains certain financial and tax information in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico (Mexican GAAP).

         Elamex was a pioneer in Mexico's Border Industrialization Program,
usually referred to as the Maquiladora program, in which, originally, real
estate, and later also labor, were provided to foreign companies. These
companies managed the production for export, or the enhancement of their own
imports into Mexico for subsequent export. Elamex's business has evolved from
the early Maquiladora concept to its present state, which includes management,
by Elamex itself, of assembly services and shelter manufacturing services.

                                       2
<PAGE>
         Elamex, S.A. de C.V. is the successor pursuant to the merger, effective
October 1, 1995, of Elamex Internacional, S.A. de C.V. (Elamex Internacional)
with and into Elamex, S.A. de C.V. The predecessor of Elamex, S.A. de C.V. was
formed in 1990, when Accel, S.A. de C.V. (Accel), a public company listed on the
Mexico Stock Exchange, acquired a majority interest in Elamex. Elamex was
registered as a public company and began trading its stock on NASDAQ in March
1996.

         Elamex provides contract manufacturing services, which included shelter
and assembly services, throughout Mexico for non-electronic manufacturing
services companies. Under the shelter business model, Elamex provides labor and
administrative services. Currently, Elamex has support infrastructure for
shelter operations in the following Mexican cities; Cd. Juarez, Nuevo Laredo,
Chihuahua, Torreon and Saltillo, representing a combined total of over 1,220,000
square feet of manufacturing space. Under the assembly business model, Elamex
provides shared manufacturing space, production management and may also provide
material procurement services.

         Elamex is also engaged in a joint venture for plastics and metal
stamping with General Electric (GE). This joint venture, known as Qualcore, S.
de R. L. de C.V. (Qualcore) operates a 116,000 square foot facility in Celaya,
northwest of Mexico City. Qualcore is registered to ISO 9002 and is also engaged
in Six Sigma quality initiatives.

         Elamex has a wholly-owned metal stamping subsidiary, Precision Tool,
Die and Machine Company, Inc. (Precision), in Louisville, Kentucky. This
operation has three manufacturing facilities with a combined square footage of
370,000, is registered to both ISO 9002 and QS 9000, and is engaged in Six Sigma
quality initiatives.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

         In the mid-1970's, Mexico's Maquiladora program allowed OEMs, willing
to partner with Mexican-owned manufacturing companies, to access Mexico's
low-cost labor base in a free-trade environment. Under this program, raw
materials could be imported in-bond, transformed into a finished component or
product and exported without duty. Two distinct manufacturing programs grew from
this environment; shelter services and contract manufacturing, both of which are
offered by Elamex.

         Shelter services provides space or a dedicated facility, hired and
trained manufacturing personnel and administrative services. Production
management is typically handled by the OEM. The OEM also provides materials and
equipment. Shelter service costs are typically billed by the hour. Contract
manufacturing is a natural expansion of shelter services in which Elamex offers
complete manufacturing services to OEMs, including materials procurement,
management and control of production processes and customs management, as well
as providing shared and/or dedicated facilities and labor and administrative
management. Elamex's breadth of services and range of third party quality
certifications, such as ISO 9002, ANSI-J-STD-001 and GIDEP (General Industry
Data Exchange Program), gives it a significant market advantage.

         The elimination of prohibitions on foreign business ownership and the
initiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have encouraged
the migration of large numbers of multinational competitors. Elamex's
competitive environment has increased. To counter this, Elamex began a service
diversification program by vertically integrating in component-level markets,
such as plastics and metal stamping, both through acquisition and joint venture.

         The appliance and automotive industries began a strong migration to
Mexico in the 1990s. Companies in these industries looked for specialized
business arrangements such as joint ventures, alliances and multi-year business
guarantees, in order to secure capacity from high quality Mexican-based
suppliers. Qualcore was the result of this particular business model used to
meet the perceived needs of these companies. It also appeared that there was a
strong need for regional U.S. support in some of these same commodities.
Elamex's acquisition of Precision in 1999 was to expand supplier arrangements
with existing customers by offering U.S. based production and also to expand its
industry penetration through the addition of new customers with both U.S. and
Mexican manufacturing needs. This strategy provides significant benefits to OEM
customers seeking to consolidate their supply base.

         In 2000, increasing consolidation in the EMS market prompted Elamex to
divest itself of its EMS operation (see note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K). Also, lower than expected
volumes and margins in the Qualcore project have prompted GE and Elamex to
jointly consider alternative solutions regarding the future of Qualcore.

MANUFACTURING SERVICES

                                       3
<PAGE>

         Elamex offers one of the broadest portfolios in the manufacturing
services industry. Elamex's work in the plastics and metal stamping areas is
predominantly for the appliance, automotive and consumer electronics industries.
Capabilities in this area include: tooling design and repair, fabrication or
procurement, injection-molded plastics, metal stamping, powder coat painting,
pad printing and plating, Elamex's work in the shelter and assembly services
area has included the manufacture of such varied devices as, compressors,
bicycles, medical appliances, etc. In 1999, Elamex also began packaging food
products.

         Elamex's metal stamping operations manufacture custom parts for its
assembly operation and for third party OEMs. In 2001, 60% of sales came from
these operations. Typically, the customer develops part designs and either the
customer or Elamex may design tooling or dies. In some cases, tooling is moved
to Elamex's facility from the customer and in other cases, Elamex's tooling
group designs and either fabricates or procures new tooling. In addition to the
basic plastic injection molding and metal stamping operations, Elamex offers
secondary finishing operations such as plating, painting and pad printing as
well as assembly of fabricated and/or machined parts.

         As an independent contractor-manufacturing arm of its customers, Elamex
combines stringent quality control, sophisticated inventory management and
cost-effective assembly techniques for the benefit of its customers. Elamex's
manufacturing operations are structured to incorporate the complex design
specifications of its customers' projects and to respond rapidly to their design
changes. In establishing a total manufacturing solution to its OEM customers,
Elamex provides expertise in managing manufacturing operations, workforce
training, and arranges customs, warehousing and other matters inherent in
manufacturing in Mexico.

         Elamex has established quality control processes under the
International Standards Organization certification 9002 (ISO 9002), and FDA Good
Manufacturing Practices (FDA GMPs).

CUSTOMERS AND MARKETS

         Elamex customers are a diverse group of U.S. and multinational OEMs and
other manufacturers. Precision accounted for $78.8 million of Elamex's $134.1
million (including inter-company sales of $2.1million) in net sales, or 58.8%.
Precision's main customers are a manufacturer of automotive parts and a
manufacturer of home appliances which represented a combined 58.8% of
Precision's total sales for 2001. Elamex's Mexican manufacturing services
operation accounted for $55.3 million, or 41.2% of Elamex's total sales. As
indicated above, the customers of this operation vary greatly, i.e., from
refrigeration coils to teeth aligners to bicycles. Elamex, in conjunction with
another company, is a party to a manufacturing contract pursuant to which Elamex
has agreed to manufacture shotgun components and safe deposit boxes. Due to the
Mexican government's regulation of the manufacture of firearms, this contract is
performed by Elamex de Torreon, S.A. de C.V. (Elamex de Torreon), a company
beneficially owned by certain of Elamex's officers and directors, under contract
to Elamex. Included in Elamex's total Mexican manufacturing sales is Qualcore
operations during the first six months of 2001, which accounted for $8.6 million
of total consolidated sales, or 6.4% of Elamex's total sales. Qualcore sells
primarily to a single manufacturer of home appliances. Operating results of
Qualcore were consolidated into Elamex's consolidated operating results only
until the end of the second quarter of 2001. Subsequent to that quarter,
Qualcore's operating results have been reported on the equity method due to
changes in management control of the joint venture.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

         The U.S. Department of Defense has qualified Elamex for manufacturing
military and aerospace specification products. To serve a larger base of
customers in the United States, Elamex has been registered under ISO 9002 at all
of the facilities where Elamex manages the labor force.

SALES AND MARKETING

         Elamex has pursued the diversification of its market segments and
customer base seeking relationships with leading OEMs. Elamex's principal
sources of new business originate from the growth of existing relationships,
referrals and direct sales through senior management and direct sales personnel.
Sales personnel, supported by executive staff, identify and develop
relationships with potential OEM customers who meet a certain profile, which
includes financial stability, industry leadership, need for technology and
assembly-driven manufacturing, anticipated unit volume growth and long-term
relationship potential. Elamex also advertises in trade journals, participates
in industry trade shows and conducts seminars to introduce potential customers
to the benefits of contract manufacturing in Mexico.

COMPETITION


                                       4
<PAGE>
         The shelter, contract assembly, metal stamping and plastics industries
are comprised of a number of a large number of companies, several of which have
achieved substantial market share. Elamex also faces competition from current
and prospective customers who evaluate Elamex's capabilities against the merits
of manufacturing products internally. Elamex competes with various companies,
depending on type of service or geographic location.

         Elamex believes that the primary bases of competition in its targeted
markets are time to market, capability, price, manufacturing quality, and
reliable delivery. Elamex believes that it competes favorably with respect to
each of these factors. To remain competitive, Elamex must continue to provide
world class manufacturing services, maintain high quality levels, offer flexible
delivery schedules, deliver reliable finished products and compete favorably on
the basis of price. Certain of Elamex's contracts contain pricing mechanisms
that are based on Elamex's costs.

EFFECT OF NAFTA

         Elamex believes that NAFTA continues to have a positive effect on its
business. NAFTA eliminates import duties and reduces other restrictions on
certain imports into the U.S. and Canada. These benefits enable Elamex to
manufacture products from components imported into Mexico and to return the
finished product to the U.S. and Canada, without paying significant duties.
Moreover, Elamex believes that NAFTA has had the general impact of encouraging
growth in industries for which Elamex provides manufacturing services.

BACKLOG

         Backlog consists of firm purchase orders and commitments that are to be
filled within the next 12 months. However, since order and commitments may be
rescheduled, increased or canceled, Elamex does not consider backlog to be a
meaningful indicator of future financial performance.

SUPPLIERS

         Elamex uses numerous suppliers of components and raw materials for its
operations. Although Elamex has a general policy against procuring components
without a customer commitment to pay for them, it may do so on occasion.

EMPLOYEES

         Elamex had 1,860 employees at December 31, 2001, of which 460 were
employees of Precision and 1,400 were employees of Elamex's Mexican
manufacturing services operation. Mexican collective bargaining agreements cover
approximately 25 Mexican employees. All other employees are not subject to
collective bargaining agreements. Elamex believes that its labor relations are
good in all of its operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

         Elamex's operations are subject to the Mexican General Law on
Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection (the Ecological Law) and the
regulations promulgated thereunder. In accordance with the Ecological Law,
companies engaged in industrial activities are subject to the regulatory
jurisdiction of the Secretaria del Medio Ambiente, Recursos Naturales y Pesca
(the Ministry of the Environment, Natural Resources and Fisheries). Since
September 1990, each such company has been required to file semi-annual reports
regarding its production facilities and to comply with the Ecological Law and
the regulations thereunder, with respect to its environmental protection
controls for air emissions, waste water discharge and the disposition of
industrial waste. Elamex is licensed to handle radioactive materials and
complies with both U.S. and Mexican standards relating to the handling of such
materials. In addition, Elamex is subject to U.S. environmental laws and
regulations as a consequence of the return to the United States of any hazardous
wastes generated by Elamex that are derived from materials imported from the
U.S., a requirement of its participation in the Maquiladora program. Such laws
and regulations may impose joint and several liabilities on certain statutory
classes of persons for the costs of investigation and remediation of
contaminated properties regardless of fault or the legality of the original
disposal. These persons include the present and former owner or operator of a
contaminated property and companies that generated, disposed of, or arranged for
the disposal of hazardous substances found at a property. Elamex is not aware of
any non-compliance with the above mentioned regulations.

         Mexican environmental laws and regulations have become increasingly
stringent over the last decade. This trend is likely to continue and may be
influenced by the environmental agreement entered into by Mexico, the U.S. and
Canada in connection with NAFTA. Elamex believes that its policies with respect
to environmental matters in Mexico currently exceed

                                       5
<PAGE>

the standards set forth in the Ecological Law. Elamex is committed to
maintaining high standards of environmental protection controls

RISKS OF POTENTIAL FUTURE ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

         Our business will depend in the future on the successful acquisition,
integration, financing and performance of businesses. Our strategy involves the
substantial risk that we will not find suitable businesses to acquire on terms
we believe are reasonable and that the new businesses we choose to enter will
not provide the benefits we expect. Our future business prospects should
therefore be considered in light of the risks, expenses, problems and delays
inherent in acquiring and integrating a new business.

Elamex currently intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for
use in the development of business and to finance growth. Elamex has never paid
cash dividends on its Common Stock and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable
future. Certain of Elamex's existing bank credit lines impose limitations on the
payment of dividends or other distributions to the shareholders, without the
specific consent of the lender. As of March 8, 2002, there were approximately
839 beneficial holders of Elamex's Common Stock.

The Mexican Law of Commercial Companies (Ley General De Sociedades Mercantiles)
requires that at least 5% of Elamex's net income each year (after profit sharing
and other deductions required by law) be allocated to a legal reserve fund,
which is not thereafter available for distribution except as a stock dividend
until the amount of such fund equals 20% of Elamex's historical capital stock.
Elamex may also maintain additional reserves.

TAXATION OF DIVIDENDS

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXES


                                       7
<PAGE>

Dividends (other than certain dividends paid on a pro rata basis in additional
Common Stock) paid by Elamex with respect to Common Stock out of current or
accumulated earnings and profits (E&P) to an U.S. holder will be treated as
ordinary income to such holder. United States corporations that hold Common
Stock will not be entitled to the dividends received deduction generally
available for dividends received from United States corporations (and certain
non-United States corporations). To the extent a distribution exceeds E&P, it
will be treated first as a return of such holder's basis to the extent thereof,
and then as gain from the sale of a capital asset. Such capital gain will be
long term if such holder has held the Common Stock for more than one year.

Dividends generally will constitute foreign source passive income or, in the
case of certain United States holders, financial service income for U.S. foreign
tax credits purposes.

Dividends paid in Mexican Pesos will be included in gross income of a United
States holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange
rate in effect on the date of receipt of the distribution, whether or not the
Pesos are in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If Pesos are
converted into U.S. dollars on the day they are received by a United States
holder, such holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign
currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. United States holders
should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any foreign
currency gain or loss on any Pesos which are not converted into U.S. dollars on
the day the Pesos are received by such holders.

Distributions of additional Common Stock to United States holders with respect
to their pre-distribution holdings of Common Stock (old Common Stock) that are
made as part of a pro rata distribution to all stockholders of Elamex generally
will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (except with respect to cash
received in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock). The basis of the Common
Stock so received will be determined by allocating the United States holders'
adjusted basis in the old Common Stock between the old Common Stock and the
Common Stock so received.

A holder of Common Stock that is, with respect to the United States, not a
United States holder (a non-United States holder) will not be subject to U.S.
federal income tax on dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock, unless
such dividends are effectively connected with the conduct by the holder of a
trade or business in the United States.

MEXICAN INCOME TAXES

Mexican income tax law requires that Mexican corporations must pay income tax on
taxable income for each fiscal year. Mexican corporations must maintain an
account called the CUENTA DE UTILIDAD FISCAL NETA (CUFIN) or previously taxed
net earnings account. In its CUFIN the Mexican Corporation records the balance
of the taxed profits from previous years, on which income tax has already been
paid plus dividends received from Mexican corporations. The CUFIN account
balance is restated each year for inflation.

Whenever a Mexican Corporation pays dividends to its stockholders, if the amount
maintained in the CUFIN balance exceeds the dividend payment to be made, neither
the Mexican Corporation nor the stockholders will have to pay Mexican income tax
on such dividend payment. Therefore, for Mexican tax purposes, dividend payments
made by Elamex to United States holders will not generally be subject to
imposition of Mexican income taxes. However, if the Mexican corporation's CUFIN
balance is less than the dividend payment, then the Mexican Corporation must pay
income tax of 35% of 1.5385 times the amount in 2001, 2000 and 1999, which
exceeds such balance.

Beginning in 1999, Mexican law allows Corporations to pay tax currently on their
Mexican earnings at a rate of 32% in 1999 and 30% in 2000 and after, to the
extent those earnings are reinvested in the Company (i.e. not paid out in
dividends). The undistributed, untaxed earnings are taxed at a rate of 3% for
1999 and 5% for 2000 and thereafter when they are distributed to the
shareholders as a dividend. The company can elect out of this treatment and
instead choose to be taxed at a current rate of 35% (with no deferral). The
Company has not elected out of this treatment and thus will pay the additional
tax when those earnings are distributed in the future.

The new tax law enacted January 1, 2002 eliminated the option to defer the
payment of 5% of taxable income and reduces the 35% tax rate to 34% in 2003, 33%
in 2004 and 32% thereafter. The effect of this change on the Company's financial
statements was recorded in 2002.

If Elamex distributes stock dividends to United States holders, or pays a
dividend in cash and such payment is to be used by the United States holders for
a capital subscription or for reinvestment in Elamex's stock, and either such
transaction by the United States holders occurs within 30 days following the
date of the dividend payment, there will be no Mexican tax consequences for such
United States holders, so long as Elamex does not reduce its capital stock
liquidity. If Elamex reduces its capital stock and the balance of its CUFIN plus
its capital contributions restated for inflation is less than the amount of


                                       8
<PAGE>
such stock reduction, Elamex will be required to pay income tax on such excess.
Tax must also be paid on the excess, if any, of the shareholder's equity over
the sum of the CUFIN, the capital contributions restated for inflation and the
taxable amount determined as previously indicated. In this case the taxable
basis cannot be greater than the total amount of the capital reduction.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Although Elamex is a Mexican company, its functional currency is the U.S.
dollar, which is the principal currency in which it conducts business. Elamex
prepares consolidated financial statements in U.S. dollars in conformity with
U.S. GAAP and also maintains certain financial and tax information in conformity
with Mexican GAAP. Except as otherwise stated herein, all monetary amounts in
this report have been presented in U.S. dollars.

The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial data of Elamex as
of and for each of the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and
2001. Each of Elamex's fiscal quarters is comprised of 13 weeks and ends on a
Friday, except for the first quarter, which starts on January 1, and the fourth
quarter which ends on December 31. This table is qualified by reference to and
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes thereto and other financial data included elsewhere in this Form
10-K.

The selected consolidated financial data presented below as of and for each of
the years in the five-year period ended December 31, 2001, have been derived
from our audited consolidated financial statements. The 2001, 2000 and 1999
consolidated financial statements have been audited by Deloitte & Touche. The
1998 and 1997 consolidated financial statements and related notes have been
audited by KPMG LLP.

         These historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected in the future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

                                       9
<PAGE>

GENERAL

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Elamex was acquired by Accel, S.A. de C.V. and certain other investors in May
1990, and is controlled by Accel, S.A. de C.V. Elamex, S.A. de C.V. is the
successor pursuant to the merger, effective October 1, 1995 (the Effective
Date), of Elamex Internacional with and into Elamex, S.A. de C.V.

Although Elamex is a Mexican Corporation its functional currency is the U.S.
dollar, which is the principal currency in which it conducts business. Elamex
maintains certain financial information in accordance with Mexican GAAP, but
prepares Consolidated Financial Statements in U.S. dollars in conformity with
U.S. GAAP.

EXCHANGE RATES AND INFLATION

In the following cases Elamex's results of operations are generally affected by
changes in the exchange rate between Pesos and U.S. dollars. In the case of an
appreciation in value of the U.S. dollar against the Peso, Elamex generally
experiences a benefit because its revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars and
certain of its costs and expenses are denominated in Pesos. This benefit will be
reduced by relative inflation in the Peso versus the U.S. dollar due to
inflation within Mexico, and by competitive pressures from Elamex's customers.
In the case of a depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Peso, Elamex
generally experiences a detriment mirroring the situation as to appreciation of
the dollar, and this detriment will similarly be reduced by relative inflation
in the U.S. dollar against the Peso and increased pricing by Elamex.

On October 26, 1996, the Mexican government signed a pact with labor and
business representatives called the Alliance for Economic Growth (the Alliance).
The Alliance defines a macroeconomic policy designed to support Mexico's
economic recovery and promote future growth. Under the Alliance the Mexican
government has attempted to boost the economy by providing tax incentives for
new business investments, while utilizing wage and price controls to contain
inflation. As part of the Alliance the Mexican government has committed to
maintaining a free flotation system for the Peso in the international currency
markets. The Alliance also calls for development of social and rural programs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make certain estimates
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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

For metal stamping sales are recognized at the time the order is shipped. For
contract manufacturing sales are recognized when the order is shipped for
manufacturing contracts and over the contract period for assembly services.
Anticipated losses on assembly services contracts are charged to operations as
soon as they are determined.

Direct manufacturing contract costs related to initial manufacturing layout and
setups for new contracts (Initial Manufacturing Expenses) are expensed in the
current period when such costs are not considered significant. When such costs
are considered significant, the portion of such costs expended for capital
equipment is capitalized and is amortized using the straight-line method during
the length of the applicable contract. No manufacturing contract costs have been
capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. In addition,
labor costs required to achieve normal productivity levels are expensed in the
period incurred. Elamex does not engage in futures contracts with the purpose of
hedging U.S. dollar/Peso revenues or costs, with the exception of regular
treasury operations to cover operating requirements for up to 30 days.

Effective July 1, 2001, the operating results of Qualcore, a joint venture with
General Electric, which was previously consolidated, are being reported on the
equity method. This is as a result of the change in management control of the
joint venture. As of the beginning of the third quarter a new four-member board
of directors in which the two partners have equal voting rights directs the
operations of Qualcore. A general manager appointed by the board of directors,
reports directly to such board of directors.

Also, see section under New Accounting Principles.

STATUTORY EMPLOYEE PROFIT SHARING

All Mexican companies are required to pay their employees, in addition to their
agreed compensation benefits, profit sharing in an aggregate amount equal to 10%
of net income, calculated for employee profit sharing purposes, of the
individual


                                       10
<PAGE>
corporation employing such employees. All of Elamex's employees are employed by
its subsidiaries, each of which pays profit sharing in accordance with its
respective net income for profit sharing purposes. Tax losses and other certain
adjustments for US GAAP purposes do not affect employee profit sharing.
Statutory employee profit sharing expense is reflected in Elamex's cost of goods
sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, depending upon the
function of the employees to whom profit sharing payments are made. Elamex's net
income on a consolidated basis as shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements
is not a meaningful indication of net income of Elamex's subsidiaries for profit
sharing purposes or of the amount of employee profit sharing.

Statutory employee profit sharing expense was approximately $0, $17 thousand,
and $68 thousand, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999,
respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

During the third quarter of 2001 the Company completed the realignment of its
operations in order to more closely align the reportable segments with the
markets the Company serves. As a result of this realignment the Company's
reportable segments are 1) Contract Manufacturing and 2) Metal Stamping.

The Contract Manufacturing segment provides shelter and assembly services
throughout Mexico for non-electronics manufacturing services companies. Under
the contract manufacturing model, Elamex provides labor and administrative
services. Under the assembly business model, Elamex provides shared
manufacturing space, production management and may also provide material
procurement services.

The Metal Stamping segment is our Precision, Tool, Die and Machine subsidiary
located in Louisville, Kentucky. It provides metal and stamping services
primarily to appliances and automotive sectors.

The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere
herein.

2001 COMPARED TO 2000

Management's discussion and analysis of operations for the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2000 is based on the results of operations by segment for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, after consideration of the proforma effects on
prior periods of the deconsolidation of our joint venture effective in the third
quarter of 2001. The following tables present those proforma effects by segment
(in thousands):

NET SALES

Net sales increased 4% to $123.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001
from $118.5 million for prior year.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Sales for Contract Manufacturing increased 24% from $37.8 million in the prior
year to $46.7 million for the current year. The increase was primarily due to
increased activity in our Mexican contract manufacturing operation.

Sales for Metal Stamping decreased 3% to $78.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001 from $81.5 million for prior year.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit decreased by $1.5 million to $6.6 million in 2001 from $8.1 million
in 2000, a decrease of 18%.

Gross profit for Contract Manufacturing was $2.74 million in 2001 and $3.0
million in 2000, a decrease of $309 thousand or 10%, this decrease was primarily
the result of fixed manufacturing expenses related to personnel retained in our
contract manufacturing operation subsequent to the sale of EMS operation.

Gross profit for Metal Stamping decreased by $1.3 million to $3.9 million in
2001 from $5.2 million in 2000. The decrease of 26% was primarily due to a
decrease in tooling sales.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased $4.2 million to $16.1 million in the 2001 from
$11.8 million in the 2000, an increase of 36%.

Operating expenses for Contract Manufacturing increased $3.2 million to $5.5
million in the 2001 from $2.3 million in the 2000, an increase of 139%. The
increase was primarily due to the recognition of $2.6 million of restructuring
charges, mainly severance and related expenses and write-off of non productive
assets. The remainder was primarily the retention of fixed expenses subsequent
to the sale of the EMS operation.

Operating expenses for Metal Stamping increased $497 thousand to $3.9 million in
2001 from $3.4 million in 2000, this increase of 15% was primarily due to
restructuring charges of $286 thousand related to severance payments.

Operating expenses for Corporate increased $532 thousand to $6.7 million in 2001
from $6.1 million in 2000. This increase of 9% was primarily due to $3.2 million
of restructuring charges partially offset by decrease in corporate expenses of
$2.7 million resulting from the reduction of personnel and associated costs.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income decreased $24.9 million to an expense of $5 million in 2001 from
income of $19.9 million recorded in 2000.

Other income for Corporate decreased from $21.8 million in 2000 to an expense of
$2.2 million in the current year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease
in the gain on sale of subsidiaries of $19.5 million and the recognition of the
loss in joint venture of $7.8 million recorded in 2001 compared to $3.5 million
in 2000.

Other expense for Contract Manufacturing increased from $931 thousand in 2000 to
$1.0 million in 2001, an increase of $104 thousand or 7%.

Other expense for Metal Stamping increased from $922 thousand in 2000 to $1.7
million in 2001, an increase of 86%. This increase was primarily due to
inter-company interest charges, not charged in 2000.

2000 COMPARED TO 1999

Management's discussion and analysis of operations for the year ended December
31, 2000 compared to the year ended December 31, 1999 is based on the results of
operations of the Company as derived from the audited consolidated statements
included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

</TABLE>

NET SALES

Net sales increased 9.1% to $174.7 million in 2000 from $160.1 million in 1999.
The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of sales from Precision, which
was acquired in July 1999 and to growth in sales in the plastics and metal
stamping operations, partially offset by the sale of the EMS operation in May
2000 which had revenues of $27 million and $68 million in 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit decreased by $12.2 million, or 82.4%, to $2.6 million in 2000
compared to $14.8 million for the prior year. This decrease in gross profit was
primarily due to the operating inefficiencies in the joint venture with GE. The
decrease is also attributable to an increase in Peso denominated labor costs of
13% in the first quarter of this year; a higher cost of sales associated with
Precision's higher material content; and an upward revaluation of the Mexican
Peso against the U.S. dollar resulting in higher dollar equivalent costs of Peso
denominated non-labor expenses. The decrease was also due to the sale of the EMS
operation, which contributed $6.2 million to gross profit in 1999. The above
resulted in a deterioration of the gross profit margin from 9.2% in 1999 to 1.5%
in 2000.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased 23.7% to $15.0 million,
or 8.6% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to $12.1
million, or 7.5% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
increase is due to the consolidation of Precision, the exchange rate impact of
Peso denominated expenses and to a non recurring severance, personnel and
management costs directly resulting from the sale of the EMS operation.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and Development Expenses (R&D) represented in absolute dollars and as
percentage of net sales were $1.2 million and 0.8% respectively for the year
ended 1999. These are directly attributable to expenses incurred by Optimag,
Inc. (Optimag), a California corporation, in developing optical stations and
electrical test equipment for companies that produce disk drive heads, magnetic
media, and optical media. Elamex sold its interest in Optimag in October 1999.
There were no R&D expenses incurred in 2000.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income decreased to a $12.4 million loss, or an operating loss as a
percentage of net sales of 7.1%, during the year ended December 31, 2000 from
operating income of $1.4 million, or 0.9% of net sales, during the year ended
December 31, 1999. The decrease in operating income was primarily the result of
the combined impact of the factors discussed above.

OTHER INCOME

Other income increased to $23.1 million, or 13.2% of net sales, for the year
ended December 31, 2000, from $2.3 million or 1.4% of net sales, for the year
ended December 31, 1999. This increase is primarily due to the gain on the sale
of our EMS operation in 2000 of $20.5 million, additional income earned from
providing other non-recurring services of $1.1 million, recoveries of obsolete
inventories of $1 million, the earnout of $826 thousand from the sale of
Optimag, the sale of securities for $475 thousand, and interest income of $1.8
million, partially offset by interest expense of $2.6 million.

INCOME TAX AND ASSET TAX

Under Mexican tax law as presently in effect, Mexican companies must compute a
tax based on net income and a tax based on net assets, and pay the higher of the
two. The excess of the tax based on net assets; over the tax based on net income
can be carried forward for ten years as a credit against future income tax.

The Corporate income tax rate was 35% for 2001. The Mexican asset tax is a 1.8%
tax on assets, computed by recognizing certain effects of inflation, and by
reducing the asset base by certain liabilities. For federal income tax purposes,
taxpayers may currently deduct certain expenses and recognize certain effects of
inflation and exchange rate gains or losses in amounts computed differently than
under US GAAP. For federal income tax purposes, Mexican tax losses and net asset
tax credits are updated to recognize the effects of inflation and may be carried
forward ten years following the year of the loss or payment of the net assets
tax.

Effective January 1, 1999, a new two-tiered tax rate system was enacted whereby
the corporate tax rate was 32% and 30% on taxable earnings reinvested in the
Company and 3% and 5% on those earnings when they are paid as dividends for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and beyond, respectively. While the statutory rate
is 35%, Elamex's effective tax rate in the future can be expected to vary from
35% because of the effects of inflation and appreciation or devaluation of the
Mexican Peso.. These items are not reflected in Elamex's results of operations
for U.S. GAAP purposes.

The amounts of Elamex's net asset tax and tax loss carryforwards at December 31,
2001 and 2000 are set forth in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
included elsewhere herein. Elamex's effective tax rate was 6.6% in 1999, (29.9%)
in 2000 and 16.2% in 2001.

The effective tax rate increased from a benefit of 29.9% in 2000 to 16.2% in
2001, primarily due to the effects for tax purposes of inflation gains and
losses on monetary items and depreciation. The effective tax rate decreased from
6.6% in 1999 to a benefit of 29.9% in 2000, primarily due to basis differences
in the net assets of the EMS operation disposed of in 2000 and currency and
inflationary gains and losses in Mexico. In addition, Elamex has established a
valuation allowance to offset the tax benefit associated with certain asset tax
carryforwards of individual Mexican subsidiaries, net losses of sale of stock in
the Company's EMS operation and net operating losses from the Company's joint
venture, as realization of those benefits are not considered more likely than
not at this time.

The majority stockholder has filed a consolidated tax return with Elamex's
operations since 1995. The Tax Sharing Agreement entered into between the
majority stockholder, Accel, S.A. de C.V., and Elamex through 1998 provided that
Elamex transfer monthly an amount equal to its estimated tax payment, less
credits. Beginning in 1999, tax Law for consolidation required Elamex and its
subsidiaries to pay amounts directly to the Mexican Tax Authority (SHCP) based
on their individual tax calculations. The payments are calculated as required by
the SHCP as if Elamex and subsidiaries were filing a stand-alone income tax
return for such year. The majority stockholder further agrees to reimburse
Elamex for use of any of Elamex's tax benefits at the time Elamex would
otherwise realize the benefit.

DEFERRED TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.. When necessary, a
valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that
is more likely than not to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.. Consolidated net deferred tax asset for the year
ended December 31, 2001 was $2.3 million and deferred tax liabilities were $1.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Elamex's working capital (defined as inventory plus trade and other accounts
receivable, minus accounts payable) decreased for the year ended December 31,
2001 as compared to the 2000 year. At December 31, 2001, Elamex had working
capital of $14.8 million compared to $17.2 million at December 31, 2000. The
decrease was primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable of $4.9 million,
inventories of $226 thousand and accounts payable of $2.4 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, Elamex had net cash used in operating
activities of $14.5 million, which resulted primarily from a net operating loss
of $21.4 million offset by depreciation and amortization of $4.4 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001,
was $1.3 million. Of this amount, $1.9


                                       14
<PAGE>

million was from proceeds from sale of securities, $1.3 million was invested in
the joint venture and $4.4 million was used to invest in new equipment. In
addition $4.0 million was provided in connection with loans to related parties.
Cash provided by investing activities also included proceeds from the sale of
subsidiaries of $2.6 million and the net cash effect of the deconsolidation of
Qualcore which reduced cash by $1.5 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001,
was $5.7 million, which is primarily due to additional debt incurred of $11.6
million net of repayments of $5.9 million.

Management intends to fund current operations and activities of the Company
through existing working capital, cash and available credit facilities.


                                       15

</TABLE>

The available credit facilities place certain restrictions on the payment of
dividends and use of proceeds from disposition of collateralized fixed assets,
limit investments or advances in other companies, limit the incurrence of debt
and require the Company's subsidiary Precision to maintain certain financial
ratios and insurance coverage. As of December 31, 2001, Precision was not in
compliance with the above restrictions, requirements and covenants. However,
Precision has received a waiver from the Bank for the period ended December 31,
2001 and the interim period ending March 31, 2002. In addition the bank has
agreed to modify the existing covenants in connection with the bank debt.
Precision believes that it will be able to comply with the new terms and
conditions in the future, however, there is no guarantee of Precision continuing
compliance.

ACQUISITIONS/DIVESTITURES

On December 6, 2000, Elamex sold its interest in Manufacturas del Noreste, S.A.
de C.V., a subsidiary of Elamex, to the subsidiary's customer for approximately
$195 thousand in cash and recognized a gain of approximately $100 thousand,
which is reflected in the 2000 results of operations.

On May 23, 2000, Elamex, S.A. de C.V. closed the sale of its contract
electronics manufacturing services (EMS) operation. Under the terms of the
transaction, Elamex received approximately $51.2 million in cash, subject to
certain adjustments relating to the final determination of book value. An
additional gain of $280 thousand was recognized in 2001. The sold EMS operation
was housed in two leased plants in Juarez, Mexico, and the lease contracts for
the buildings were transferred to the new owners as part of the transaction. The
EMS operation represented approximately $68 million in revenue in 1999 and $26
million in revenue in 2000 for the period through May 23, 2000, the date of the
sale.

On July 27, 1999, Elamex, consummated the purchase of all of the common stock of
Precision. Elamex acquired the stock from the shareholders of the privately-held
company for U.S. $20.3 million in cash. Precision acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets
acquired was $10.2 million. Amortization expense during the years ended December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $477, $497 thousand and $205 thousand respectively.
The purchase price was financed with cash on hand of Elamex in the amount of
U.S. $5.3 million and a loan agreement with two banks. These short-term
facilities were restructured into long-term loans with another bank on January
26, 2000.

Optimag Inc. ("Optimag") was formed in 1998 to develop, manufacture, and market
optical inspection stations and electrical test equipment to companies that
produce disk drive heads, magnetic media, and optical heads and optical media.
Effective October 1999, the Company sold its interest in Optimag for $2.3
million plus an earnout to be paid based upon sales for Calendar Year 2000. The
Company recognized gains of $2.3 million $826 thousand and $2.7 million, which
are reflected in the 2001, 2000 and 1999 results of operations, respectively.

On July 14, 1998, Elamex formed a Joint Venture with General Electric
International Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (GE) to produce plastic molding and stamped

                                       16
<PAGE>

metal components in Cd. Juarez, Mexico. Elamex contributed its plastic molding
and stamped metal operations to the JV in exchange for 50.1% interest in the JV.
GE paid approximately $3.5 million to Elamex in exchange for a 49.9% interest.
In connection with the JV, GE received a three-year warrant which expired and
unexercised in August 2001 to purchase up to 6.3% of Elamex's common stock. In
July 2001 Elamex and GE agreed to jointly manage Qualcore through a four member
board of directors on which each partner is equally represented. As a result of
this change in management control, Elamex no longer consolidated Qualcore's
results of operations into Elamex, rather reported such result under the equity
method.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities" as
amended, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain hedging instruments embedded in other contracts
and other hedging activities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 as of January 1,
2001, and given the Company's current operations and policies, this adoption had
no significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

         In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations".
This statement requires that all business combinations be accounted for by a
single method, the purchase method, and is effective for business combinations
after June 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact
on the financial statements of the Company.

         In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and other
Intangible Assets", this statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among
other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the
standard includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing
recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of
previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting units for
purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. SAFS No. 142
also requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test
six months from the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact of SAFS No. 142 on its financial position and results of
operations.

In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-lived assets". This statement addresses accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and is effective
for financial statements issued for years beginning after December 15, 2001 and
interim periods within those years. The Company has not yet determined the
impact of SFAS No. 144 on its financial position and results of operations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks associated with Elamex's
future growth and profitability, the ability of Elamex to continue to increase
sales to existing customers and to new customers, and the effects of competitive
and general economic conditions.

There can be no assurance that Elamex's principal customers will continue to
purchase products and services from Elamex at the current levels, if at all, and
the loss of one or more major customers could have a material adverse effect on
Elamex's result of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Elamex's functional currency is the U.S. dollar and is exposed to the risk of
currency fluctuations of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. dollar. Elamex's
currency fluctuation risk management objective is to limit the impact of
currency fluctuations. Elamex has adopted a policy of not engaging in future
contracts with the purpose of hedging U.S. dollar/Peso revenues or costs, with
the exception of regular treasury operations to cover operating requirements for
up to thirty days.

Elamex and certain of its subsidiaries are exposed to some market risk due to
the floating interest rate under its revolving lines of credit, notes payable
and long-term debt. Floating-rate obligations aggregated $19.2 million at
December 31, 2001, inclusive of amounts borrowed under short-term and long-term
credit facilities. A 1.0 % increase in interest rates could result in a $192
thousand annual increase in interest expense on the existing principal balance.
The Company has determined that it is not necessary to participate in interest
rate-related derivative financial instruments because it currently does not
expect significant short-term increases in interest rates charged under its
borrowings.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Elamex, S.A. de C.V.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Elamex, S.A. de
C.V. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2001 (all expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars). These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Qualcore, S. de R.L. de
C.V. (a consolidated subsidiary during the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999) for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, which statements reflect
total assets constituting 11% of consolidated total assets as of December 31,
2000 and total revenues constituting 17% and 6% of the consolidated total
revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us,
and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Qualcore, S.
de R.L. de C.V. is based solely on the report of such other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 a
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, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such
Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Elamex, S.A. de C.V. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

ELAMEX, S.A. DE C.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2001, 2000 AND 1999
(IN THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

COMPANY BACKGROUND - Elamex, S.A. de C.V. and its subsidiaries (Elamex or the
Company) are primarily Mexican companies incorporated under the laws of Mexico.
Elamex provides shelter and assembly services to customers primarily located in
the United States and Canada. The Company manufactures products for companies in
various industries, including electromechanical, mechanical, appliance,
avionics, medical appliance, heating, venting and air conditioning, automotive
and confectionary. All of the Company's manufacturing machinery and equipment
are located in facilities in Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, Torreon, and Saltillo,
Mexico, and in Louisville, Kentucky.

In May 2000, the Company sold its Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS)
operation for approximately $51.2 million and recognized a pre-tax gain on this
sale of approximately $21.5 million which is included in other income for the
year ended December 31, 2000 (see Note 2).

During 1999, the Company acquired a U.S. Company, Precision Tool, Die and
Machine Company, Inc. ("Precision"), located in Louisville, Kentucky (see
Note 3).

Optimag Inc. ("Optimag") was formed to develop, manufacture, and market optical
inspection stations and electrical test equipment to companies that produce disk
drive heads, magnetic media, and optical heads and optical media. The Company
consolidated the operations of this investment. On October 18, 1999, the Company
sold its interest in Optimag to Veeco Instruments, Inc. for $2.3 million plus an
earnout based upon sales for calendar year 2000. The Company recognized gains of
$2.3 million $826 thousand and $2.7 million, which are reflected in the 2001,
2000 and 1999 results of operations, respectively.

The Company is a subsidiary of Accel, S.A. de C.V. (Accel) which owns
approximately 59% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares at
December 31, 2001.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - These consolidated financial statements and the
accompanying notes are prepared in U.S. dollars, the functional and reporting
currency of Elamex.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements are prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (U.S.) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
and majority-owned, controlled subsidiaries. The operating results of the EMS
operation after the date of disposition, May 23, 2000, are not included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Effective July 1, 2001, the operating results of Qualcore, a joint venture with
General Electric, which was previously consolidated, are being reported on the
equity method. This was the result of the change in management control of the
joint venture. As of the beginning of the third quarter a new four-member board
of directors in which the two partners have equal voting rights directs the
operations of Qualcore. A general manager appointed by the board of directors,
reports directly to such board of directors.

MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to
make certain estimates 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 revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On December 6, 2000, the Company sold its interest in Manufacturas del Noreste,
a subsidiary of the Company, to the subsidiary's customer for approximately $195
thousand in cash and recognized a gain of approximately $100 thousand, which is
reflected in the 2000 results of operations.

On May 23, 2000, Elamex completed the sale of its EMS operation. Under the terms
of the transaction, Elamex received

                                       25
<PAGE>

approximately $51.2 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments relating to
the final determination of book value. Elamex recognized a pre-tax gain on this
sale of approximately $21.5 million, which is included in other income for the
year ended December 31, 2000. The EMS operation included two leased plants in
Juarez, Mexico, and the lease contracts for the buildings were transferred to
the new owners as part of the transaction. The EMS operation represented
approximately $68 million in revenue in 1999 and $27 million in revenue for the
period January 1, through May 23, 2000, the date of the sale.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly-liquid debt
instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. Cash includes deposits in Mexican banks,
denominated in Mexican Pesos, of approximately $420 thousand and $204 thousand
at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and deposits denominated in U.S.
dollars of approximately $0 thousand and $207 thousand at December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively, in U.S. banks. The Company had approximately $16.7 million
and $24 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, in short-term
repurchase agreements, denominated in U.S. dollars, deposited in U.S. banks.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts based on its best estimate of accounts receivable considered
to be uncollectible.

An analysis of the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is as follows:

                                              2001          2000           1999

                                            =======         =====         =====

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The functional currency of the Company is the
U.S. dollar, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
Company operates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and
remeasurement of balance sheet amounts are reflected in net income. Included in
other, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are foreign
exchange gains (losses) of ($8) thousand, $37 thousand, and $94 thousand for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Assets and
liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars except for certain
amounts as indicated below. Certain balance sheet amounts (primarily
inventories, property, plant and equipment, accumulated depreciation, prepaid
expenses, and common stock) denominated in other than U.S. dollars are
remeasured at the rates in effect at the time the relevant transaction was
recorded, and all other assets and liabilities are remeasured at rates effective
as of the end of the related periods. Revenues and expenses denominated in other
than U.S. dollars are remeasured at weighted-average exchange rates for the
relevant period the transaction was recorded. Assets and liabilities denominated
in Pesos are summarized as follows in thousands of U.S. dollars at the exchange
rate published in the Diario Oficial de la Federacion (the Official Gazette of
the Federation), which is the approximate rate at which a receivable or payable
can be settled as of each period end:

In addition, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes (see Note 8). The recorded net deferred tax asset of $2.5 million
and net deferred tax liability of $1.8 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, represent the net dollar value of amounts provided for temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective Mexican tax bases.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE INSTRUMENTS - The Company maintains a policy of not engaging in
futures contracts with the purpose of hedging U.S. dollar/Peso revenues or
costs, with the exception of regular treasury operations to cover operating
requirements for up to 30 days. The Company had no open hedge contracts at
December 31, 2001 or 2000.

INVESTMENTS SECURITIES - Includes investments in common stocks held for sale of
non-affiliated companies. Such investments are recorded at fair value as
determined from quoted market prices, and the cost of securities sold is
determined based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains or
losses are reported as a component of comprehensive income or loss, net of
related tax effects.

INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory cost includes
material, labor and overhead. Inventory reserves, which are charged to cost of
sales, are provided for excess inventory, obsolete inventory, and for
differences between inventory cost and its net realizable value.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Research and development was conducted through
Optimag until its sale on October 18, 1999. Research and development costs are
charged to expense as incurred. No research and development costs were incurred
during 2001 and 2000.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Plant and equipment under
capital leases are stated at the lower of their fair value at the inception of
the lease or the present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation and
amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of
related lease terms or estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company charges
amounts expended for maintenance and repairs to expense and capitalizes
expenditures for major replacements and improvements.

GOODWILL - Through December 31, 2001 goodwill was being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 20 years. Accumulated amortization was approximately
$1.2 million and $745 thousand at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. See
"New Accounting Pronouncements" below.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Company measures impairment losses on long-lived assets,
including goodwill, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might
be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The Company measures
impairment loss as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value
of the asset, (see "New Accounting Pronouncements" below).

BASIC AND DILUTED NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE - Basic and diluted net (loss)
income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. There are
no potentially dilutive securities.

INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and
liability method, as required by SFAS No. 109. Under the asset and liability
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Provisions for taxes are made based upon the applicable tax laws of Mexico and
the United States. In conformity with SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are not provided for differences related to assets and liabilities
that are remeasured from Pesos into U.S. dollars using historical exchange rates
and that result from indexing for Mexican tax purposes or exchange rate changes.

REVENUE RECOGNITION - For metal stamping sales are recognized at the time the
order is shipped. For contract manufacturing sales are recognized when the order
is shipped for manufacturing contracts and over the contract period for assembly
services. Anticipated losses on assembly services contracts are charged to
operations as soon as they are determined.


                                       27
<PAGE>
EMPLOYEES' STATUTORY PROFIT SHARING - A provision for deferred employees'
statutory profit sharing is computed on income subject to statutory profit
sharing which differs from net income, due to certain differences in the
recognition of income and expenses for statutory profit sharing and book
purposes. Statutory employee profit sharing expense was approximately $0, $17
thousand, and $68 thousand, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and
1999, respectively.

POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS - Employees are entitled to certain benefits upon
retirement after 15 years or more of service (seniority premiums), in accordance
with the Mexican Federal Labor Law. The benefits are accrued as a liability and
recognized as expense during the year in which services are rendered.

FISCAL YEAR - The Company uses 13-week quarters ending on a Friday, except that
the first quarter starts on January 1, and the fourth quarter ends on
December 31.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including
cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
notes payable, taxes payable, and amounts due to related parties, approximated
fair value as of December 31, 2001 because of the relatively short maturity of
these instruments. The fair values of floating rate long-term debt are estimated
to be equivalent to their carrying amount based on current market conditions.

ACQUISITIONS - On July 27, 1999, the Company acquired Precision in a business
combination accounted for as a purchase. Precision is primarily engaged in the
manufacture of stamped metal components for the appliance, heating, venting and
air conditioning, and automotive industries. The results of operations of
Precision are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
since the date of acquisition. The total cost of the acquisition was
approximately $20.3 million, which exceeded the fair value of the net assets of
Precision by approximately $10.2 million.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" as amended, which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain hedging instruments
embedded in other contracts and other hedging activities. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001, and given the Company's current operations
and policies, this adoption had no significant impact on the financial
statements of the Company.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". This
statement requires that all business combinations be accounted for by a single
method, the purchase method, and is effective for business combinations after
June 30, 2001. Given the Company's current operations and policies, the adoption
of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact on the financial statements of
the Company.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things,
the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes
provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles,
reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and
the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future
impairments of goodwill. SFAS No. 142 also requires the Company to complete a
transitional goodwill impairment test within six months from the date of
adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting
SFAS No. 142 on its financial position and results of operations. The Company
recorded goodwill amortization of $492 during to 2001.

In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-lived assets". This statement addresses accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and is effective
for financial statements issued for years beginning after December 15, 2001 and
interim periods within those years.

RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 2001 financial statement presentation.

4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company initiated a process of
restructuring its business model to eliminate non-productive assets and business
lines. As a result the Company has recognized restructuring charges of $12.9
million during the year ended December 31, 2001. Such restructuring charges
include severance and related costs and write-off of non

                                       28
<PAGE>

productive assets. As of December 31, 2001 the Company has approximately $779
thousand accrued in connection with such restructuring charges.

5. INVENTORIES

(a)      On March 1, 2000, Precision, entered into a $12 million note agreement
         with a bank at a variable interest rate, calculated weekly. Principal
         and interest under the note agreement are due in semi-annual
         installments through March 2010. The proceeds from the note were used
         to refinance approximately $11.4 million of short-term and long-term
         notes payable. The note is collateralized by substantially all the
         assets of Precision and requires the maintenance of certain financial
         ratios. As of December 31, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with
         the above restrictions, requirements and covenants. However, the
         Company has received a waiver from the Bank for the period ended
         December 31, 2001 and the interim period ending March 31, 2002. In
         addition the bank has agreed to modify the existing covenants in
         connection with the bank debt. The Company believes that it will be
         able to comply with the new terms and conditions in the future,
         however, there is no guarantee of the Company's continuing compliance.

9. INCOME TAXES

Mexican tax legislation requires that companies pay a tax calculated as the
greater of tax resulting from taxable income or tax on the total value of
certain assets less certain liabilities (assets tax). Taxes resulting from net
income are calculated using Mexican tax regulations, which define deductibility
of expenses and recognize certain effects of inflation.

Effective January 1, 1999, a new tax rate was enacted in Mexico whereby the
corporate tax rate is 35%. An amount equal to 32% is paid on taxable earnings
reinvested in the Company and 3% when those earnings are distributed in the form
of dividends for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 30% is paid on taxable
earnings reinvested in the Company and 5% on those earnings when they are
distributed in the form of dividends for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000.

The new tax law enacted January 1, 2002 eliminated the option to defer the
payment of 5% of taxable income and reduces the 35% tax rate to 34% in 2003, 33%
in 2004 and 32% thereafter. The effect of this change on the Company's financial
statements was recorded in 2002.

The tax provision differs from the statutory tax rate of 35% on taxable income
as follows:

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future.
The valuation allowance of $6.0million at December 31, 2000 relates primarily to
certain asset tax carryforwards of individual Mexican subsidiaries, net losses
of sale of stock in the Company's EMS operation and net operating losses from
the joint venture. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2001 of $5.9 million
relates primarily to net operating losses of individual Mexican subsidiaries.

The net asset tax paid, adjusted for inflation, may be used to offset income
taxes that exceed the asset tax due for the year, for ten years following the
payment of the tax. The net asset tax credit carryforwards as of December 31,
2001 total $2.7 million and expire on various dates through 2011.

The majority stockholder has filed a Mexican consolidated tax return with
Elamex's Mexican operations since 1995. The tax sharing agreement entered into
between the majority stockholder, Accel S.A. de C.V., and Elamex through 1998
provided that Elamex transfer monthly an amount equal to its estimated tax
payment, less credits. Beginning in 1999, the Mexican tax law for consolidation
required Elamex and its subsidiaries to pay monthly estimated tax payments
directly to the Mexican Tax Authority (SHCP) based on their individual tax
calculations. The payments are calculated as required by the SHCP as if Elamex
and and its subsidiaries were filing a stand-alone income tax return for such
year. The majority stockholder further agrees to reimburse Elamex for use of any
of Elamex's tax benefits at the time Elamex would otherwise realize the benefit.

Dividends paid by Mexican companies which exceed earnings and profits, as
defined by the Mexican income tax law, are subject to a 35% income tax, payable
by the Company on 1.5385 times the amount in excess of earnings and profits.
Dividends paid which do not exceed earnings and profits are not currently
subject to Mexican tax to either the Company or the stockholder. The Mexican
companies did not pay dividends on common stock in 2001, 2000 and 1999.

10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

COMMON STOCK - During 1998 a subsidiary of the Company purchased 515,400, of the
Company's common stock in the open market for an aggregate amount of $2.3
million. This treasury stock has been presented in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets at cost as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

Under the bylaws and Mexican law, the capital stock of Elamex, S.A. de C.V. must
consist of fixed capital and may have, in addition thereto, variable capital.
Stockholders holding shares representing variable capital common stock may
require the Company, with a notice of at least three months prior to December 31
of the prior year, to redeem those shares at a price equal to the lesser of
either (i) 95% of the market price, based on the average of trading prices in
the stock exchange where it is listed during the 30 trading days preceding the
end of the fiscal year in which the redemption is to become effective or (ii)
the book value of the Company's shares as approved at the meeting of
stockholders for the latest fiscal year prior to the redemption date. At
December 31, 2001, the Company had not issued any of its authorized variable
capital common stock. Although the variable capital common stock is redeemable
by the terms described above, such shares would be classified as a component of
stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Management believes the
variable common stock represents permanent capital because the timing and
pricing mechanisms through which a stockholder would exercise this option to
redeem are such that a stockholder, from an economic standpoint, would not
exercise this option. At the time a stockholder is required to give notice of
redemption, the stockholder will not be able to know at what price the shares
would be redeemed and would not expect the present value of the future
redemption payment to equal or exceed the amount which would be received by the
stockholder in an immediate public sale.

Under Mexican law, dividends must be declared in Pesos. If dividends are
declared in the future, the Company's intent is to pay the dividends to all
stockholders in U.S. dollars, as converted from Pesos as of the date of record,
unless otherwise instructed by the stockholder.

Mexican law requires that at least 5% of the Company's net income each year
(after profit sharing and other deductions required by the law) be allocated to
a legal reserve fund, which is not thereafter available for distribution, except
as a stock

                                       33
<PAGE>

dividend, until the amount of such fund equals 20% of the Company's historical
capital stock. The legal reserve fund at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was
approximately $1.6 million and $1.6 million respectively. The Company
anticipates that no additional allocation will be made at its annual
stockholders' meeting to be held on April 19, 2002. Retained earnings available
for dividends under Mexican law at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $15.2 million
and $16.6 million respectively. However, debt agreements place certain
restrictions on the payment of dividends (see Note 6).

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS AND PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS - Any person who seeks
to acquire ownership of 15% or more of the total outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock must receive written consent from the Company's Board of
Directors. Should shares in excess of 15% be acquired without permission, the
purchaser will be subject to liquidated damages, which will be used by the
Company to repurchase stock in excess of the 15% ownership limitation. In
addition, in the event that the Company issues additional shares, existing
stockholders will have a preemptive right to subscribe for new shares, except
when shares are issued in connection with a merger or for the conversion of
convertible debentures. The 15,000,000 shares of variable capital are not
subject to preemptive rights.

PREFERRED STOCK - Pursuant to the Company's bylaws, the Company's Board of
Directors, at its discretion, can issue up to an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares
of preferred stock in one or more series. The Board may attach any preferences,
rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions to the shares of each
series issued, including dividend rights and rates, conversion rights, voting
rights, terms of redemption, and liquidation preferences. The shares may be
issued at no par value or at a par value determined by the Board of Directors.

No shares of preferred stock have been issued as of December 31, 2001.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Prior to 2001 the Company maintained an Executive Phantom Stock Plan (the
"Plan") which offered certain key executives of the Company and related entities
long-term incentives in addition to their current compensation. This Plan was
terminated in April, 2001 and an alternative plan is currently under review for
future presentation to the Board of Directors and Shareholders for review and
approval.

During 2001 the Company paid out approximately $113 to its key executives under
the Plan. and as of December 31, 2001, approximately $264 remained pending.

matching or discretionary contributions. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, approximately
$23 thousand , $ 76 thousand and $87 thousand respectively, have been charged to
expense in connection with this plan.

12. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

During 2001 the Company completed the realignment of its operations in order to
more closely align the reportable segments with the Markets the Company serves.
As a result of this realignment the Company's reportable segments are 1)
Contract Manufacturing and 2) Metal Stamping. The Company has restated its
presentation for the year ended December 31, 2000 presentation to conform to
this revised segment reporting. Amounts for the year ended December 31, 1999
have not been restated in accordance with the Company's disclosure policies due
to the impracticability of such. The Contract Manufacturing segment provides
shelter and assembly services throughout Mexico for non-electronics
manufacturing services companies. The Metal Stamping segment consists of
Precision the subsidiary located in Louisville, Kentucky.


                                       34

Precision provides metal and stamping services primarily to the appliance and
automotive sectors. The accounting policies for the segments are the same as for
Elamex taken as a whole. Corporate expenses are not allocated to any of the
segments and are presented separately. Inter-segment adjustments are related
primarily to inter-segment sales at cost in the normal course of business.

million, and $2.3 million, respectively, which were invoiced by Elamex to a
third party customer. Elamex had no amount receivable from Elamex de Torreon as

During 2001 and 2000 the Company leased a manufacturing facility from Franklin
Inmobiliarios, a company in which the chairman of the board of Elamex has an
indirect ownership. Included in rent expense are $1.8 million and $150 thousand
for the years ended 2001 and 2000.

During 2000 and 1999 the Company leased a manufacturing facility from
Corporacion Chihuahua, a company partially owned by the chairman of the board of
Elamex. Included in rent expense are rental payments under these leases of
approximately $690 thousand and $540 thousand during the years ended December
31, 2000, and 1999, respectively. This lease contract was transferred to the
purchaser of the EMS operation in 2000.

The Company paid for services rendered by Comercial Aerea, of which the chairman
of the board of directors of Elamex is a principal, totaling approximately $173
thousand, $160 thousand, and $158 thousand during the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

$761 thousand, $677 thousand, and $410 thousand for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

During 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Franklin Inmobiliarios,
S.A. de C.V., of which the chairman of the Board of Elamex is an indirect owner,
whereby a total of $7 million would be loaned to the related party by the
Company, bearing interest of LIBOR plus 4.5%, for construction of a
manufacturing facility in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. The loan was repaid
upon completion of the facility in 2001. A subsidiary of Elamex leases the
facility from Franklin Inmobiliarios with a lease guarantee from Franklin
Connections, a company in which Accel owns approximately 33%. Furthermore,
Elamex guarantees the lease payments of its subsidiary in connection with a loan
between a third party bank and Franklin Inmobiliarios. Rent expense was $1.9

Furthermore, in August 2001 the Company issued a $3 million convertible
subordinated loan to Franklin Connections. If converted, this investment would
represent approximately 17.3% ownership in Franklin Connections, a company which
manufactures, packages and distributes confections. This loan has a term of five
years with an annual interest rate of 12%. During the first two years interest
accrues with no payments due. After two years if the loan is not converted
interest becomes part of the principal and interest only payments become due
quarterly with the principal amount maturing in August 2006.

On June 20, 2000, First National Bank of San Diego, of which the chairman of the
board of the Company is a principal, loaned Qualcore $646 thousand in the form
of a note payable due February 19, 2001, to meet working capital needs. This
loan was repaid in full on March 5, 2001.

Related party sales of $1.6 million, $18.7 million and $3.9 million were made
during 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively to various companies and divisions of
GE.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to various claims, actions, and complaints, the ultimate
disposition of which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material
adverse effect on the operations or financial position of the Company.

The Mexican Federal Labor Law requires a severance payment for all permanent
employees that are terminated by the employer. This payment is calculated on the
basis of 90-days' pay for termination anytime during the first year of
employment, with an additional 12 days pay for each year of service thereafter
up to two times minimum wage. While most of the Company's Mexican assembly labor
is hired under temporary labor contracts during the first two months of
employment, the labor force is changed to permanent labor contracts after this
period. The Company has agreements with many of its contract-assembly customers
which require that the customers pay the severance costs incurred, in the event
that assembly contracts are terminated prior to their scheduled completion. In
management's opinion, any severance costs incurred upon the termination of any
manufacturing contracts would not be material.

Seniority premiums to which employees are entitled upon retirement after 15
years or more of service, in accordance with the Mexican Federal Labor Law, are
recognized as expense during the year in which services are rendered, based on
actuarial computations. Included in other liabilities is approximately $25
thousand and $103 thousand as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which
fully accrues for these estimated seniority obligations. During 2001 the Company
had a reduction of personnel and made severance payments and seniority premium
payments which were expensed or reduced the liability.

Qualcore, the joint venture with GE, entered into a 12 year lease agreement
beginning January 2001 for the building that it occupies in Celaya Mexico. The
monthly lease payments are approximately $94,628 and are guaranteed by both
Elamex and GE. Qualcore also obtained bank financing from Wells Fargo and
Eximbank for the plastic molding and metal stamping equipment for the Celaya
plant. The original notes payable totaled $8.4 million with a five year term and
have equal semi-annual principal payments of $840 thousand plus interest. The
loan facilities are guaranteed by both GE and Elamex.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On March 18, 2002 the Company's Board of Directors approved, subject to
necessary shareholder approvals, the acquisition of 100% of Mt. Franklin
Holdings LLC (Franklin). Franklin owns 100% of Franklin Connections LP, a
general line candy manufacturer with a current annual installed capacity of
approximately 70 million pounds and a retail/food service nut packing company
located in El Paso, Texas. The Board of Directors also approved the acquisition
of 100% of the outstanding stock of Franklin Inmobiliarios, S.A. de C.V.
(Inmobiliarios) which owns the approximately 175,000 sq.ft. candy manufacturing
building in Juarez, Mexico. The acquisitions are expected to be completed in
April, 2002.

The acquisition of both Franklin and Inmobiliarios will be accomplished by the
issuance of approximately 1,846,000 shares of restricted Elamex stock and
approximately $1,145,000 in cash. This transaction will result in total
outstanding Elamex shares of approximately 8,712,000 of which 55.6% will be
owned by Accel, S.A. de C.V. or its related affiliates. The issuance of the
Elamex shares is subject to authorization by the Elamex shareholders at a
special shareholders' meeting planned for April 19, 2002, which meeting will be
held in conjunction with Elamex's annual shareholders' meeting scheduled for the
same day.

Franklin is currently owned 32.9% by Accel, S.A. de C.V., which currently owns
59% of Elamex. Inmobiliarios is currently owned 50% by a company in which the
Chairman of the Board of Elamex is a principal. All of the cash paid will be
used to acquire the ownership interests of Franklin. The cash portion of this
transaction will be paid only to non-related third parties, not to Accel or any
party related to the Chairman of the Board of Elamex.

Simultaneous with the acquisition of these two companies, the Board of Directors
has also approved the infusion of $7.5 million of new equity into Franklin to
repay short term loans previously made to Franklin by Elamex and to provide
additional general working capital for the Franklin business. A demand loan
totaling $2.0 million was provided to Franklin in


                                       37

February 2002 to meet continuing cash flow needs and were guaranteed by the
chairman of the board of Elamex and another principal of Inmobiliarios.
