On April 23, 1999, the shareholders of the registrant, at their
regularly scheduled annual meeting, approved the recommendation by the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors to (i) engage Deloitte & Touche LLP as
independent accountants for Elamex, S.A. de C.V. and (ii) replace KPMG LLP as
such independent accountants.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1990 through December 31,
1998, (i) there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to its satisfaction would have
caused it to make reference in connection with its report to the subject matter
of the disagreement, and (ii) KPMG LLP has not advised the registrant of any
reportable events as defined in paragraph (A) through (D) of Regulation S-K Item
304 (a) (1) (v).
The accountant's report of KPMG LLP on the consolidated financial
