1.

Organization and Basis of Presentation:

     The accompanying financial statements present the consolidated assets and liabilities and results of operations of MSX International, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries (“MSXI”). MSXI is a holding company owned by Citicorp and affiliates and certain members of management. We are principally engaged in providing technical business services to automobile manufacturers and suppliers and other industries primarily in North America and Europe. We utilize a 52-53 week fiscal year, which ends on the Sunday nearest December 31.

     All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which are necessary for a fair presentation. The operating results for the fiscal quarters ended March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2002. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted during the current period.

2.

Acquisitions of Businesses:

     The terms of certain of our prior acquisition agreements provided for additional contingent consideration to be paid over a period of up to two years if the acquired entity’s future operating results exceed targeted levels. Contingent consideration is earned when the acquired entity’s financial performance grows in excess of the targeted levels established at the time of acquisition. Such additional consideration is recorded, when earned. No such consideration was recorded or paid during the periods presented.

     Effective in December 2002 we acquired the remaining 25% of the outstanding common stock of Satiz Srl from Fiat SpA. The transaction had been contemplated as part of the original acquisition of 75% of the outstanding common stock of Satiz in December of 1999. The total purchase price was about $3.5 million based on formulas established at the time of the original 75% acquisition. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting resulting in additional goodwill of $2.4 million. Satiz specializes in commercial and technical publishing in Europe and derives a significant portion of its sales from Fiat and related subsidiaries.

3.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

     Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142. Under the new standard, goodwill is no longer amortized but is tested periodically for impairment. Additionally, SFAS No. 142 changes the methodology of assessing goodwill impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill is considered impaired if the book value of an operating unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 we recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of about $47.8 million ($38.1 million net of taxes), to reduce the carrying value of goodwill. The charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in our consolidated results of operations, net of taxes. In calculating the impairment charge, the fair value of the operating units underlying our business was estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology.

     The following summarizes the changes in our goodwill balances during the three months ended March 30, 2003:

Restructuring and Severance:

     As of December 29, 2002, accrued restructuring and severance costs totaled $4.5 million. Approximately $2.9 million was charged to the restructuring and severance accrual during the first quarter of 2003, comprised of severance and termination benefits associated with headcount reductions approved by management during the fourth quarter of 2002. Additional charges of $1.4 million were recorded during the first quarter of 2003 primarily for additional severance and termination benefits approved and communicated by management prior to March 30, 2003. Remaining accrued severance costs totaled $3.0 million as of March 30, 2003 and are expected to be paid during 2003.

5.

Accounts Receivable:

     Accounts receivable include the portion of our billings for certain master vendor and supply chain management services attributable to services provided by our vendors which are passed on to our customers. These amounts totaled $44.8 million as of March 30, 2003 and $37.1 million as of December 29, 2002. A corresponding liability to our vendors for these amounts is recorded in accounts payable at the time the receivable is recognized.

6.		Debt:
		Debt is comprised of the following:

     As of March 30, 2003, $29.4 million was outstanding under the revolving credit portions of our credit facility and has been classified as long-term debt as we have both the ability and intent to refinance such amounts under the credit facility.

7.

Mandatorily Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock:

     As of December 29, 2002 and March 30, 2003 there are 359,448 shares of 12% Series A Cumulative Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) outstanding with a stated value of $100 per share or about $36 million in total. We are authorized to issue up to 1,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, divided into two classes: 500,000 shares of Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, and 1,000,000 shares of New Preferred Stock, par value $0.01. As of March 30, 2003, we have not declared or paid any dividends. However, due to the mandatory redemption features of the preferred stock, dividends accrued totaled $38.9 million as of March 30, 2003. We may not declare or pay any dividends or other distribution with respect to any common stock or other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock without first complying with restrictions specified in the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement. Our ability to pay cash dividends, and to acquire or redeem the preferred stock, is subject to restrictions contained in our credit agreements.

     Prior results of operation reflect a change in the treatment of accumulated dividends on the Preferred Stock. Accumulated dividends on Preferred Stock, which had been disclosed in previous filings, have been deducted from shareholders’ deficit and included with the related Preferred Stock on the consolidated balance sheets. The change in treatment has no impact cash flows for any of the periods presented.
