(1)   General

       The  financial  statements  of  Elamex,  S.A.  de C.V.  and  subsidiaries
("Elamex" or the "Company") are unaudited and certain  information  and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial  statements have been omitted.  While
the  management  of the Company  believes  that the  disclosures  presented  are
adequate,  interim  financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial  statements  and notes included in the Company's 1995 annual report on
Form 10-K.

       In the  opinion  of  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain  all  normal  recurring  adjustments  necessary  for a  fair
presentation of the Company's  financial  statements for the interim period. The
results of operations for the thirteen-week  period ended March 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

(2)   Foreign Currency Translation

       Included  in  "other"  on the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of
operations  are foreign  exchange  gains (losses) of $440,084 and ($555,798) for
the quarters  ended March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995,  respectively.  Assets and

(3)   Earnings per Share

       Earnings per share of common stock ("EPS") for the period ended March 31,
1996 was calculated using the weighted average of common shares outstanding. EPS
for the period  ended April 2, 1995 were  calculated  using the number of common
shares  outstanding  immediately  prior to the date of the stock sale.  Weighted
average shares outstanding at March 31, 1996 were 5,316,484,  and shares used to
determine EPS at April 2, 1995 were 5,000,000.  Amounts attributed to the rights
of holders of senior  securities of $56,454 were deducted from April 2, 1995 net
income in arriving at the earnings per share amount for that period.  There were
no amounts  attributable  to the rights of senior  securities  for the  thirteen
weeks ended March 31, 1996.

(6)   Sale of Common Stock and Long-Term Debt

       Effective  March 19,  1996,  the Company  completed a public  offering of
2,400,000  shares of Class I, no par value,  common stock. The shares are traded
on the NASDAQ  National  Market.  The total amount of common  stock  outstanding
after the offering is 7,400,000 shares. Upon completion of the offering,  Accel,
S.A. de C.V. ("Accel") remained the Company's majority stockholder; accordingly,
Accel has the ability to elect a majority of the Company's directors, subject to
certain limitations, and will continue to control the Company. Proceeds from the
public offering net of expenses of $2,700,000 were approximately $18,900,000.

       During March 1996,  the Company  used  proceeds  from its initial  public
offering to pay  approximately  $15,900,000 of long-term  debt and  subordinated
debentures,  including accrued interest.  The only long-term debt agreement that
was not paid is a note payable to a financing  corporation,  due August 30, 1999
and bearing interest at a rate of 13.64% per annum.  The balance  outstanding at
March 31, 1996 was $1,961,545. Prepayment of this note is subject to penalty.

(7)   Stockholders Equity

       On  April  18,  1996,  at the  Company's  annual  stockholders'  meeting,
$897,406  of  retained  earnings  was  reserved  for the future  repurchase  and
cancellation of outstanding common stock.

       Net  Sales.  Net sales  for the  thirteen  weeks  ended  March  31,  1996
increased 1.6% to $25.3 million from $24.9 million in the  comparable  period of
1995.  For the  thirteen  weeks  ended March 31,  1996 the  Company's  sales mix
changed from that of the comparable  period of 1995, as assembly sales increased
while turnkey sales slightly decreased.

       Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit  increased  6.8%,  to $3.9  million  in the
thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996 compared to $3.6 million for the same period
of the prior year.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales  ("gross  margin")
increased to 15.2% in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996 from 14.5% for the
comparable  period of 1995 due primarily to a shift in the  Company's  sales mix
toward  assembly  services.  Economies of scale in  utilization of the Company's
manufacturing facilities also contributed to the increased gross margin.

       Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses increased 5.9% to $1.7 million, or 6.6% of net sales, in
the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $1.6 million, or 6.3% of
net sales, in the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995. This increase  resulted in
part from an  increase  in costs  associated  with  personnel  restructuring  in
several departments, in addition to an increase in other corporate expenses.

       Operating Income.  Operating income increased by 7.5% to $2.2 million, or
8.6% of net sales, in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996 from $2.0 million,
or 8.1% of net sales,  in the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995, as a result of
the above factors,  the most  significant of which were changes in sales mix and
the economies of scale described under "-Gross Profit".

       Other income  (expense),  net. Interest and other expenses were offset by
other income and interest  income,  netting  $39,000 or 0.2% of sales,  compared
with $(0.8) million or (3.2%) of net sales, in the thirteen weeks ended April 2,
1995. This decrease  resulted  principally  from a translation loss on a foreign
currency  net asset  position  in the first  quarter  of 1995,  in  addition  to
decreased  borrowings  and lower interest rates as compared with the same period
of the prior year.

       Income tax.  Income tax expense  increased  to $0.7  million,  or 3.1% of
sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996, from $0.2 million or 1.2% for
the  comparable  period in 1995.  This  increase  was due to an  increase in the
effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       During the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996, the Company's  operations
provided  $1.9  million of cash flow,  consisting  of net income of $1.4 million
plus  depreciation and  amortization of $0.7 million,  which was offset by a net
$1.5 million use of cash  resulting in increases in current assets and decreases
in current  liabilities.  During this period,  the Company had cash inflows from
financing  activities  of $1.0  million and  invested  $0.6 million in property,
plant and equipment.  Included in financing activities are net proceeds from its
initial public offering of approximately $18.9 million.

       The Company had the following lines of credit and outstanding  borrowings
at March 31, 1996:
