Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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 primarily 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 normal recurring items, which are necessary for a fair presentation. The operating results for the fiscal quarters ended April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004 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 January 2, 2005. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted during the current period.

     Results of operations classified as discontinued at April 3, 2005 have been excluded from the discussion of continuing operations for all periods presented and are discussed separately in Note 2. Net assets held for sale are classified as such in the period that management commits to the plan of the sale. At April 3, 2005, net assets held for sale include substantially all engineering and staffing business in Europe as well as our technical and commercial publishing business primarily in Italy. Net assets held for sale at January 2, 2005 reflect only those associated with European engineering and staffing business.

2. Discontinued Operations

     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” discontinued operations include components of entities or entire entities that, through disposal transactions, will be eliminated from the on-going operations of MSXI. Selected European businesses are reflected as discontinued operations and eliminated from the on-going operations of MSXI due to management’s decision to divest such operations. Operations reflected as discontinued include substantially all engineering and staffing business in Europe as well as our technical and commercial publishing business primarily in Italy. Management has determined these businesses are no longer core to the company’s strategy due to changing competitive requirements, customer demands and a required focus on business with higher growth and return prospects. For all businesses reflected as discontinued a process for selling such operations has been initiated and prospective buyers have been identified.

     The following summary results of operations information is derived from the businesses that are in the disposal process:

     Results of discontinued operations include restructuring charges totaling $6.6 million related primarily to employment actions taken in our technical and commercial publishing business in Italy. During the first quarter of 2005 we

entered into an agreement with various trade union organizations that establishes a program for permanent employment reductions affecting 124 personnel. Affected employees are expected to utilize the program in the first half of 2006.

     Results of discontinued operations reflect a goodwill impairment charge totaling $7.1 million related to our technical and commercial publishing business in Italy. The impairment charge was calculated based on the estimated fair value of this business versus the carrying value of assets held for sale. Fair value of such assets was estimated based upon market values contemplated in the proposed sale.

     The summary balance sheet information is derived from the businesses that are in the disposal process, which management believes is representative of the net assets of the businesses held for disposal. At April 3, 2005, assets held for sale include substantially all engineering and staffing business in Europe as well as our technical and commercial publishing business primarily in Italy. Net assets held for sale at January 2, 2005 include only our European engineering and staffing business due to the timing of management’s commitment to the sale.

     The net proceeds received from the prospective disposal may be subject to limitations in the Company’s senior credit facility. When such net proceeds become known and available, management anticipates applying them to reduce outstanding indebtedness.

3. Restructuring and Severance:

     The following table shows the activity related to restructuring reserves for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2005:

All such billings are expected to be collected within the ensuing year.

These amounts totaled $41.4 million as of April 3, 2005 and $47.6 million as of January 2, 2005.

8. Comprehensive Loss:

     Our comprehensive loss was:

9. Income Taxes:

     The company currently provides valuation allowances for a significant portion of its deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended April 3, 2005 differs from the 35% federal statutory rate primarily because of such valuation allowances and the effect of certain foreign tax rates. Tax expense for the period relates primarily to earnings in foreign jurisdictions for which valuation allowances have not previously been recorded.

10. Segment Information:

     MSXI is a global provider of technical business services to the automotive and other industries. Our business includes: business services, human capital services, and engineering services. Our business services include solutions to quality, and communication related customer needs.
