Elamex Files SEC Form 12b-25/Amended Notification of Late Filing
EL PASO, Texas, Nov. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elamex S.A. de C.V. , a
diversified manufacturing services company with food, plastics and metals
operations and real estate holdings in Mexico and the United States, today filed
a Form 12b-25/Amended Notification with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) with respect to the late filing of its Form 10-Q report for the period
ended October 3, 2003. Elamex was unable to file its 10Q report within the
five-day extension earlier sought and therefore has amended the Form 12b-25
accordingly.
In the Form 12b-25 report ("Notification of Late Filing") filed with the SEC on
November 18, 2003, the Company noted that it was unable to file its Form 10-Q
without unreasonable effort or expense due an unexpected result in a physical
inventory performed as of October 31, 2003, by the Company's Metal Stamping
segment subsidiary Precision Tool, Die and Machine Company ("Precision").
Precision management believes that inventory adjustments are required as of the
October 3, 2003 reporting date, and that the adjustments will reduce inventory
balances and increase cost of goods sold by an amount in the range of $1.5
million to $2.1 million. Precision has not yet completed its review, and no
conclusive findings have yet been made available to corporate management.
Inventory adjustments in this range of amounts would raise questions about
underlying systems and controls, could have an adverse impact on Precision bank
borrowing arrangements, and could adversely impact Precision's ability to
maintain liquidity. The review of the inventory and the reconciliation to
recorded accounts, and concerns about liquidity and internal controls, requires
additional time for the determination of the effect these issues may have on the
period ended October 3, 2003.
As a foreign filer with the SEC, Elamex does not expect any adverse
repercussions arising from the further delay in the filing of its 10-Q report
for the period ended October 3, 2003. Elamex will reschedule its reporting date
as soon as the review of third quarter results is complete. The revised date
and time of Elamex's third quarter 2003 press release and conference call will
be addressed in a forthcoming announcement.
