       GRUPO SIMEC ANNOUNCES FINAL (AUDITED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

GUADALAJARA, MEXICO, May 6, 2003- Grupo Simec, S.A. de C.V. (AMEX-SIM) ("Simec")
announced today its final (audited) results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2002. Net sales increased 5% to Ps. 2,112 million in 2002 compared
to Ps. 2,011 million in 2001. Primarily as a result of the recording of an
exchange loss in 2002 versus the recording of an exchange gain in 2001, Simec
recorded net income of Ps. 118 million in 2002 versus net income of Ps. 242
million for 2001.

Simec sold 609,202 metric tons of basic steel products during 2002 as compared
to 560,726 metric tons in 2001. Exports of basic steel products increased to
80,179 metric tons in 2002 versus 48,385 metric tons in 2001. Additionally Simec
sold 23,137 tons of billet in 2002 as compared to 1,248 tons of billet in 2001.
Prices of finished products sold in 2002 decreased 5% in real terms versus 2001.

Simec's direct cost of sales was Ps. 1,413 million in 2002, or 67% of net sales,
versus Ps. 1,350 million, or 67% of net sales, for 2001. Indirect manufacturing,
selling, general and administrative expenses (including depreciation) decreased
6% to Ps. 444 million during 2002, from Ps. 471 million in 2001.

Simec's operating income increased 34% to Ps. 255 million during 2002 from Ps.
190 million in 2001. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 12% in
2002 and 9% in 2001.

Simec recorded other expense, net, of Ps. 36 million in 2002 compared to other
income, net, of Ps. 64 million in 2001. In addition, Simec recorded a gain in
the provision for income tax and employee profit sharing of Ps. 22 million in
2002 versus a reserve of Ps. 17 million in 2001.

Simec recorded financial expense of Ps. 123 million in 2002 compared to
financial income of Ps. 5 million in 2001 as a result of (i) net interest
expense of Ps. 53 million in 2002 compared to net interest expense of Ps. 166
million in 2001, reflecting lower debt levels in 2002, (ii) an exchange loss of
Ps. 100 million in 2002 compared to an exchange gain of Ps. 99 million in 2001,
reflecting a decrease of 12.8% in the value of the peso versus the dollar in
2002 compared to an increase of 4.5% in the value of the peso versus the dollar
in 2001 and (iii) a gain from monetary


<PAGE>

position of Ps. 30 million in 2002 compared to a gain from monetary position of
Ps. 72 million in 2001, reflecting the domestic inflation rate of 5.7% in 2002
compared to the domestic inflation rate of 4.4% in 2001 and lower debt levels
during 2002.

At December 31, 2002, Simec's total consolidated debt consisted of approximately
$48 million of U.S. dollar-denominated debt (including $14.4 million of debt
owed to Simec's parent company, Industrias CH, S.A. de C.V. ("ICH"), while at
December 31, 2001, Simec had outstanding approximately $103 million of U.S.
dollar-denominated debt (including $14.8 million of debt owed to ICH); Simec's
lower debt level at December 31, 2002 reflects the prepayment of $48.1 million
of bank debt in 2002 (Simec financed $24.4 million of this prepayment with loans
from ICH), the amortization of an aggregate of $6.7 million of bank debt in 2002
and the conversion to common stock in June 2002 of $24.6 million of loans (plus
accrued interest thereon) from ICH at a conversion price equivalent to U.S.
$1.51 per American Depositary Share. Substantially all of Simec's remaining
consolidated debt (other than debt owed to ICH) matures in 2009 and amortizes in
equal semi-annual installments.

All figures were prepared in accordance with Mexican generally accepted
accounting principles and are stated in constant Pesos at December 31, 2002.

Simec is a mini-mill steel producer in Mexico and manufactures a broad range of
non-flat structural steel products.

INFORMATION CONCERNING LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DEBT OBLIGATIONS
WITH BANKS AND COMMERCIAL CREDITORS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2002, Simec's total consolidated debt consisted of approximately
$48 million of U.S. dollar-denominated debt (including $14.4 million of debt
owed to its parent company, Industrias CH, S.A. de C.V. ("ICH"), while at
December 31, 2001, Simec had outstanding approximately $103 million of U.S.
dollar-denominated debt (including $14.8 million of debt owed to ICH); Simec's
lower debt level at December 31, 2002 reflects the prepayment of $48.1 million
of bank debt in 2002 (Simec financed $24.4 million of this prepayment with loans
from ICH), the semi-annual amortization installments on its bank debt of in May
and November 2002 aggregating $6.7 million and the conversion to common stock in
June 2002 of $24.6 million of loans (plus accrued interest thereon) from ICH at
a conversion price equivalent to U.S. $1.51 per American Depositary Share.
Substantially all of Simec's remaining consolidated debt (other than debt owed
to ICH) matures in 2009 and amortizes in equal semi-annual installments. In
addition Simec had outstanding $302,000 of 8 7/8% MTN's due 1998 (accrued
interest at December 31, 2002 was $227,666) which were issued in 1993 as part of
a $68 million issuance.

At December 31, 2002, Compania Siderurgica de Guadalajara, S.A. de C.V. ("CSG")
was not in compliance with various financial covenants contained in its bank
loan instruments. In accordance with Mexican generally accepted accounting
principles, Simec's long term bank debt has been reclassified as current
liabilities. CSG is currently in negotiations with its bank lenders to amend the
provisions of the financial covenants, and is seeking to have the covenants
calculated based upon the financial statements of Simec rather than CSG, because
the cause of the non compliance is intercompany debt owed by CSG to its parent
company Simec.

In June 2002, ICH converted approximately $24.6 million of loans to Simec plus
accrued interest thereon (which loans were made principally to fund the
prepayment of Simec bank debt) into common shares of Simec at a conversion price
equivalent to U.S. $1.51 per American Depositary Share. In July 2002, certain
minority shareholders of Simec exercised their pre-emptive rights arising as a
result of the conversion of ICH debt to purchase capital stock for Ps. 26.8
million at the equivalent of U.S. $1.51 per American Depositary Share. In
February 2003, Simec effected a 1 for 20 reverse split of its Series B common
stock; as a result its American Depositary Shares now represent 1 share of
Series B Common Stock.

Net resources provided by operations were Ps. 317 million in 2002 versus net
resources provided by operations of Ps. 356 million in 2001. Net resources used
in financing activities were Ps. 229 million in 2002 (which amount reflects the
prepayment of Ps. 481 million ($48.1 million) of bank debt, the scheduled
amortization of an additional $6.7 million of its bank debt and the conversion
by ICH of Ps. 252.7 million of loans (plus accrued interest thereon) into common
shares and the increase of capital stock of Ps. 26.8 million as a result of the
exercise of pre-emptive rights by certain minority shareholders) versus Ps. 362
million of net resources used in financing activities in 2001 (which amount
reflects the redemption of Ps. 518 million ($52.3 million) of CSG notes, thereby
retiring such issuance in full). Net

products increased to 80,179 tons in 2002 versus 48,385 tons in 2001 due to
higher margins for export sales in 2002 than in 2001. Additionally Simec sold
23,137 tons of billet in 2002 compared to 1,248 tons of billet in 2001. The
average price of steel products decreased 5% in real terms in 2002 versus 2001,
due principally to pricing pressures caused by imports of competing products.

compared to Ps. 1,350 million in 2001. Direct cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales was 67% in each of 2002 and 2001. The average cost of raw materials
used to produce steel products decreased 6% in real terms in 2002 versus 2001
primarily as a result of decreases in the price of scrap and certain other raw
materials.

Simec's marginal profit increased 6% to Ps. 699 million in 2002 compared to Ps.
661 million in 2001. As a percentage of net sales, marginal profit was 33% in

Indirect manufacturing, selling, general and administrative expenses (which
include depreciation and amortization) decreased 6% to Ps. 444 million in 2002
from Ps. 471 million in 2001; this decrease was due to the reduction of Simec's

156 million compared to Ps. 140 million in 2001.

Operating Income
Simec's operating income increased 34% to Ps. 255 million in 2002 compared to

In 1999, the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants issued Bulletin D-4,
"Accounting for Income and Asset Taxes and Employee Profit Sharing", which is
effective for all fiscal years beginning January 1, 2000. Bulletin D-4
establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of
asset tax, income tax and employee profit sharing that result from enterprise
activities during the current and preceding years. Simec's long-term liabilities
resulted of the adoption of this Bulletin was Ps. 766,262 at December 31, 2002
compared to Ps. 697,069 at December 31, 2001. The effect on Simec's consolidated
statement of income in 2002, was a decrease of Ps. 56,711 in the provision for
income tax and employee profit sharing compared to a decrease of Ps. 5,202 in
2001. These provisions do not affect the cash flow of Simec.

INFORMATION CONCERNING LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DEBT OBLIGATIONS
WITH BANKS AND COMMERCIAL CREDITORS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2002, Simec's total consolidated debt consisted of approximately
$48 million of U.S. dollar-denominated debt (including $14.4 million of debt
owed to its parent company, Industrias CH, S.A. de C.V. ("ICH"), while at
December 31, 2001, Simec had outstanding approximately $103 million of U.S.
dollar-denominated debt (including $14.8 million of debt owed to ICH); Simec's
lower debt level at December 31, 2002 reflects the prepayment of $48.1 million
of bank debt in 2002 (Simec financed $24.4 million of this prepayment with loans
from ICH), the semi-annual amortization installments on its bank debt of in May
and November 2002 aggregating $6.7 million and the conversion to common stock in
June 2002 of $24.6 million of loans (plus accrued interest thereon) from ICH at
a conversion price equivalent to U.S. $1.51 per American Depositary Share.
Substantially all of Simec's remaining consolidated debt (other than debt owed
to ICH) matures in 2009 and amortizes in equal semi-annual installments. In
addition Simec had outstanding $302,000 of 8 7/8% MTN's due 1998 (accrued
interest at December 31, 2002 was $227,666) which were issued in 1993 as part of
a $68 million issuance.

At December 31, 2002, Compania Siderurgica de Guadalajara, S.A. de C.V. ("CSG")
was not in compliance with various financial covenants contained in its bank
loan instruments. In accordance with Mexican generally accepted accounting
principles, Simec's long term bank debt has been reclassified as current
liabilities. CSG is currently in negotiations with its bank lenders to amend the
provisions of the financial covenants, and is seeking to have the covenants
calculated based upon the financial statements of Simec rather than CSG, because
the cause of the non compliance is intercompany debt owed by CSG to its parent
company Simec.

In June 2002, ICH converted approximately $24.6 million of loans to Simec plus
accrued interest thereon (which loans were made principally to fund the
prepayment of Simec bank debt) into common shares of Simec at a conversion price
equivalent to U.S. $1.51 per American Depositary Share. In July 2002, certain
minority shareholders of Simec exercised their pre-emptive rights arising as a
result of the conversion of ICH debt to purchase capital stock for Ps. 26.8
million at the equivalent of U.S. $1.51 per American Depositary Share. In
February 2003, Simec effected a 1 for 20 reverse split of its Series B common
stock; as a result its American Depositary Shares now represent 1 share of
Series B Common Stock.

Net resources provided by operations were Ps. 317 million in 2002 versus net
resources provided by operations of Ps. 356 million in 2001. Net resources used
in financing activities were Ps. 229 million in 2002 (which amount reflects the
prepayment of Ps. 481 million ($48.1 million) of bank debt, the scheduled
amortization of an additional $6.7 million of its bank debt and the conversion
by ICH of Ps. 252.7 million of loans (plus accrued interest thereon) into common
shares and the increase of capital stock of Ps. 26.8 million as a result of the
exercise of pre-emptive rights by certain minority shareholders) versus Ps. 362
million of net resources used in financing activities in 2001 (which amount
reflects the redemption of Ps. 518 million ($52.3 million) of CSG notes, thereby
retiring such issuance in full). Net

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Year Ended December 31, 2002 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

Net Sales
Net sales of Simec increased 5% to Ps. 2,112 million in 2002 compared to Ps.
2,011 million in 2001. Sales in tons of basic steel products increased 9% to
609,202 tons in 2002 compared to 560,726 tons in 2001. Exports of basic steel
products increased to 80,179 tons in 2002 versus 48,385 tons in 2001 due to
higher margins for export sales in 2002 than in 2001. Additionally Simec sold
23,137 tons of billet in 2002 compared to 1,248 tons of billet in 2001. The
average price of steel products decreased 5% in real terms in 2002 versus 2001,
due principally to pricing pressures caused by imports of competing products.

Direct Cost of Sales
Simec's direct cost of sales increased 5% to Ps. 1,413 million in 2002
compared to Ps. 1,350 million in 2001. Direct cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales was 67% in each of 2002 and 2001. The average cost of raw materials
used to produce steel products decreased 6% in real terms in 2002 versus 2001
primarily as a result of decreases in the price of scrap and certain other raw
materials.

Marginal Profit
Simec's marginal profit increased 6% to Ps. 699 million in 2002 compared to Ps.
661 million in 2001. As a percentage of net sales, marginal profit was 33% in

Indirect Manufacturing, Selling, General And Administrative Expenses
Indirect manufacturing, selling, general and administrative expenses (which
include depreciation and amortization) decreased 6% to Ps. 444 million in 2002
from Ps. 471 million in 2001; this decrease was due to the reduction of Simec's
labor force and lower expenses. Depreciation and amortization in 2002 was Ps.
156 million compared to Ps. 140 million in 2001.

Operating Income
Simec's operating income increased 34% to Ps. 255 million in 2002 compared to

of approximately Ps. 100 million in 2002 compared to an exchange gain of Ps. 99
million in 2001 reflecting the 12.8% decrease in the value of the peso versus
the dollar in 2002 versus an increase of 4.5% in the value of the peso versus
the dollar in 2001. Net interest expense was Ps. 53 million in 2002 versus Ps.

(1) Operations preparation bases and summary of significant accounting policies:

Grupo Simec, S.A. de C.V. and its Subsidiaries ("the Company") are subsidiaries
of Industrias CH, S.A. de C.V. ("ICH"), and their main activities consist of the
manufacturing and sale of steel products primarily destined for the construction
sector of Mexico and other countries.

Significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Companies which
affect the principal captions of the financial statements are described below:

a. Financial statement presentation - The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in Mexico, which
include the recognition of the effects of inflation on the financial information
and the presentation in constant Mexican pesos.

b. Principles of Consolidation - As part of the financial debt restructuring
agreement into during 1997, Compania Siderurgica de Guadalajara, S.A. de C.V.
("CSG") assumed all of the debt of the Company in return for an equity interest
in its subsidiaries. As a result of the above, the Company is the principal
shareholder of CSG, and CSG is the principal shareholder of the other
subsidiaries that Grupo Simec, S.A. de C.V. ("Simec") controlled before the
restructuring.

The main subsidiaries of CSG are the following:

o     Compania Siderurgica de California, S.A. de C.V.

o     Industrias del Acero y del Alambre, S.A. de C.V.

o     Pacific Steel Inc.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

c. Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers short-term investments with
original maturities not greater than three months to be cash equivalent. Cash
equivalents includes temporary investments and Mexican Government Treasury
Bonds, and are stated at market value, which approximates cost plus earned
interest. Any increase in market value is credited to operations for the period.

d. Inventories - The inventories are originally stated at average cost and
subsequently adjusted to replacement value at the balance sheet date. The
replacement values do not exceed market and are determined as follows:

Billet finished goods and work in process - At the latest production cost for
the month.

Raw materials - According to purchase prices prevailing in the market at the
balance sheet date.

Materials, supplies and rollers - At historical cost, restated by applying the
steel industry inflation index.

The Company presents as non-current inventories the rollers and spare parts,
which according to historical data and production trends will not be used within
a one-year period.

e. Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment of domestic
origin are restated by using factors derived from The National Consumer Price
Index ("NCPI") from the date of their acquisition, and imported machinery and
equipment are restated by applying devaluation and inflation factors of the
country of origin. Depreciation recorded in the consolidated statement of income
(loss) is computed based upon the estimated useful life and the restated cost of
each asset. In addition, Financial expense incurred during the construction
period is capitalized as construction in progress. The capitalized amounts are
restated using a factor derived from the NCPI cumulative from the date of
capitalization through period-end and are amortized over the average
depreciation period of the corresponding assets. The estimated useful lives of
assets as of December 31, 2002 are as follows:

                                                    Years
Buildings......................................... 15 to 50
Machinery and equipment........................... 10 to 40

f. Other assets - Organization and pre-operating expenses are capitalized and
restated using a factor derived from the NCPI cumulative from the date of
generation through period-end, and their amortization is calculated by the
straight-line method over a period of 20 years.

g. Seniority premiums and severance payments - According to Federal Labor Law,
employees are entitled to seniority premiums after fifteen years or more of
services. These premiums are recognized as expenses in the years in which the
services are rendered, using actuarial calculations based on the projected unit
credit method, and since 1996 by applying real interest and salary increases.

Any other payments to which employees may be entitled in case of separation,
disability or death, are charged to operations in the period in which they
become payable.

h. Pension plan - Until 1995, the Company provided pension benefits for all
personnel with a minimum of 10 years of service and 35 years of age. The Company
had established an irrevocable trust for its contributions, which were based on
actuarial calculations. In December 1995, the board of directors of the Company,
in agreement with the trade union, discontinued these benefits and related
contributions to the trust fund. This decision was made because of the new
Mexican pension fund system, Administradoras de Fondos para el Retiro, which
establishes similar benefits for the employees. The balance of the trust fund
will be applied to the retirement benefits of qualifying employees until the
fund is exhausted due to the irrevocable status of the fund.

The Company does not have any contractual obligation regarding the payment of
pensions of retirements.

i. Cost of sales - Cost of sales related to sales of inventory items is recorded
at standard cost, which approximates the replacement cost at the date of sale.

j. Income tax and employee profit sharing - In 1999, the Mexican Institute of
Public Accountants issued Bulletin D-4, "Accounting for Income and Asset Taxes
and Employee Profit Sharing", which is effective for all fiscal years beginning
January 1, 2000. Bulletin D-4 establishes financial accounting and reporting
standards for the effects of asset tax, income tax and employee profit sharing
that result from enterprise activities during the current and preceding years.

The Company and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated tax returns of
the company's parent.

k. Foreign currency transactions and exchange differences - All transactions in
foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of
their execution or liquidation. Foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet
date. Any exchange differences incurred with regard to assets or liabilities
denominated in foreign currency are charged to operations of the period and are
included in financial income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income (loss).

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Mexican
pesos in conformity with Bulletin B-15 "Transactions in Foreign Currency and
Translation of Financial Statements of Foreign Operations". All foreign
subsidiaries are considered to be "integrated foreign operations", as defined in
Bulletin B-15, and accordingly such financial statements were translated as
follows:

Monetary items at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

Non-monetary items and stockholders' equity at the exchange rate prevailing at
the date the transactions occurred. Income and expense items at an appropriate
average exchange rate.

The resulting foreign currency translation differences are included in the
financial income (expense) in the statement of income (loss).

All resulting Mexican peso amounts are restated for the effects of inflation in
accordance with the dispositions of Bulletin B-10 using the NCPI, where suchn
effects are considered significant.

l. Geographic concentration of credit risk - The Company sells its products
primarily to distributors for the construction industry with no specific
geographic concentration. Additionally, no single customer accounted for a
significant amount of the Company's sales, and there were no significant
accounts receivable from a single customer or affiliate at December 31, 2002 and
2001. The Company performs evaluations of its customers' credit histories and
establishes and allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of
specific customers and historical trends.

m. Other income (expenses) - Other income (expenses) shown in the consolidated
statements of operations primarily includes other financial operations.

n. Gain on monetary position - The gain on monetary position in the consolidated
statements of income (loss) is determined by applying to net monetary assets or
liabilities at the beginning of each month the factor of inflation derived from
the NCPI and is restated at period-end with the

corresponding factor.

o. Restatement of capital stock and retained earnings (losses) - This is
determined by multiplying capital stock contributions and retained earnings
(losses) by factors derived from the NCPI, which measure the cumulative
inflation from the date when capital stock contributions were made and earnings
(losses) were generated, through the latest period-end.

p. Effect of restatement of stockholders' equity - The effect resulting from
restating stockholders' equity includes the accumulated effect from holding
non-monetary assets, which represents the change in the specific price level of
those assets compared to the change in the NCPI.

(2) Financial Debt:

At December 31, 2002, Simec's total consolidated debt consisted of approximately
$48 million of U.S. dollar-denominated debt (including $14.4 million of debt
owed to its parent company Industrias CH, S.A. de C.V. ("ICH"), while at
December 31, 2001, Simec had outstanding approximately $103 million of U.S.
dollar-denominated debt (including $14.8 million of debt owed to ICH); Simec's
lower debt level at December 31, 2002 reflects the prepayment of $48.1 million
of bank debt in 2002 (Simec financed $24.4 million of this prepayment with loans
from ICH), the semi-annual amortization installments on its bank debt of in May
and November 2002 aggregating $6.7 million and the conversion to common stock in
June 2002 of $24.6 million of loans (plus accrued interest thereon) from ICH at
a conversion price equivalent to U.S. $1.51 per American Depositary Share.
Substantially all of Simec's remaining consolidated debt (other than debt owed
to ICH) matures in 2009 and amortizes in equal semi-annual installments. In
addition Simec had outstanding $302,000 of 8 7/8% MTN's due 1998 (accrued
interest at December 31, 2002 was $227,666) which were issued in 1993 as part of
a $68 million issuance.

(3) Commitments and contingent liabilities:

a. Pacific Steel, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary located in the U.S.A.) has
been named in various claims and suits relating to the generation, storage,
transport, disposal and cleanup of materials classified as hazardous waste. The
Company has accrued approximately Ps. 9,708 (U.S. $941,345) at December 31,
2002, (included in accrued liabilities) relating to these actions; the reduction
of this reserve from previous levels reflects clean-up activities undertaken by
Simec. Management believes the ultimate liability with respect to this matter
will not exceed the amounts that have been accrued.

b. The Company is subject to various other legal proceeding and claims, which
have arisen, in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of
management that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or consolidated results
of operations.

c. Compania Siderurgica de Guadalajara, S.A. de C.V. has entered into a gas and
liquid oxygen purchase agreement with Praxair de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., under
which it is committed to acquire monthly over a fifteen-year period beginning
January 1, 1989, a certain amount of product. At present required purchases
amount to Ps. 1,122 per month.
