                   ELITE ANNOUNCES RESTRUCTURING AND CHANGE IN
                                BUSINESS STRATEGY

         Freeport, TX November 6, 2002--Elite Logistics, Inc. (OTC BB: ELOG), a
telematics services provider, today announced that it was implementing a major
restructuring plan and a shift in business strategy.

         In response to the company's inability to raise capital in the face of
the tight capital markets and a near-term liquidity crisis confronting the
company, Elite is implementing a planned shift in business strategy. Effective
immediately, it will shift its focus from providing direct sales and support to
end users and channel partners to a business model focused on selling the use of
its deployable infrastructure and intellectual property to a limited number of
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). This shift will be implemented in the
upcoming months. The change in the company's business strategy will have an
immediate negative impact on the company's revenue. However, it is intended over
the long term to allow the company to move closer to achieving positive cash
flow and operating profitability.

         As part of the company's new business strategy, the company will also
continue to pursue the defense and licensing of its patent portfolio as a
revenue stream.

         As part of its restructuring plan, the company is negotiating with
interested parties the sale of its existing subscriber base. The company's
channel partner strategy will be modified to better align to the new strategy
during the next few months. The company will also undergo a workforce reduction
to balance the resources and skills in the organization.

         Over the next few weeks, the company will review the revised plan with
its existing creditors to address the company's current credit and liquidity
issues. In the event the company is not able to overcome its current liquidity
crisis and restructure its







outstanding financial requirements; the company will be forced to seek relief
under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
