ITEM 2.        ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

               Effective October 31, 1998, the Company consummated its
               acquisition of Lexstra International, Inc, and Lexus Temporaries,
               Inc. ("the Acquisition") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement
               dated as of October 23, 1998. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement,
               a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSX International, Inc. purchased
               substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of
               the operating liabilities of Lexstra International, Inc, and
               Lexus Temporaries, Inc. The Company did not assume any bank debt.
               The total purchase price for these net assets was $24 million at
               the closing with additional payments contingent on achieving
               certain operating results for the years 1998 through 2000. The
               Acquisition was initially announced on October 27, 1998 and will
               be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Funding
               for the transaction was provided by borrowings under the New
               Credit Facility.

               Lexstra International, Inc. and Lexus Temporaries, Inc. are
               providers of contract computer consultants, systems analysts, and
               network support personnel. The companies are headquartered in New
               York, NY and have locations in Boston, MA, Red Bank, NJ, and

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Lexstra International, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
income and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Lexstra International, Inc. at October 31, 1998, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the ten month period then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

LEXSTRA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

    a.  NATURE OF BUSINESS: Lexstra International, Inc. (the "Company")
        provides computer consulting services for high technical content
        positions in the computer software development field. Services are
        provided to a diverse corporate client base located primarily in the
        Northeastern United States. 

        Effective October 31, 1998, the stockholders of the Company sold 
        substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company to MSX 
        International, Inc.

    b.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all short-term
        investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be
        cash equivalents.

    c.  REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenues are recognized as contract costs are
        incurred, and are valued at selling price based on contractual billing
        rates. Contract costs include direct labor costs and reimbursable
        expenses.

    d.  INCOME TAXES: The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has
        elected to be taxed under Subchapter-S of the Internal Revenue Code,
        which provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders
        are taxed individually on their pro rata share of the Company's taxable
        income. Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal or certain
        state income taxes is reflected in the financial statements. State and
        local tax provisions, which are not material, have been included in
        general and administration expenses.

    e.  USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in
        conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
        management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
        amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
        assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such
        estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenue
        and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ
        from such estimates and assumptions.

    f.  ADVERTISING: The Company charges advertising costs to expense as 
        incurred. Advertising costs charged to expense for the ten month period 
        ended October 31, 1998 were approximately $45,000.

 2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET:

    Receivables are presented net of aggregate allowances for doubtful
    accounts of $758,000 at October 31, 1998. Receivables arise from services
    provided pursuant to contracts or agreements with customers for such
    services. Accounts receivable include both billed and unbilled
    receivables. Unbilled receivables amounted to $2,021,925 at October 31,
    1998. All billings are expected to be collected with the ensuing year.

    The Company was involved in a banking agreement with a commercial lender.
    Under that agreement, the Company could borrow up to 80 percent of
    outstanding accounts receivable subject to certain limitations as defined
    in the agreement. The borrowings, which bore interest at the lender's base
    rate plus two percent were collateralized by substantially all of the
    Company's assets and were guaranteed by the stockholders. The note was
    paid in full during 1998 and the banking agreement has been terminated.

 4. COMMITMENT:

    The Company leases office space for its corporate headquarters in New York
    City under a ten year lease agreement which expires in 2007. The Company
    also leases office space in several other locations which expire between

LEXUS TEMPORARIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

    a.  NATURE OF BUSINESS: Lexus Temporaries, Inc. (the "Company") provides
        temporary services to corporations, including special technical content
        jobs, such as PC technicians and low technical content positions, such
        as secretarial and clerical.

        Effective October 31, 1998, the stockholders of the Company sold 
        substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company to 
        MSX International, Inc.

    b.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all short-term
        investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be
        cash equivalents.

    c.  REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenues are recognized as contract costs are
        incurred and are valued at selling price based on contractual billing
        rates. Contract costs include direct labor costs and reimbursable
        expenses.

    d.  INCOME TAXES: The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has
        elected to be taxed under Subchapter-S of the Internal Revenue Code,
        which provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the
        stockholders are taxed individually on their pro-rata share of the
        Company's taxable income. Accordingly, no provision or liability for
        Federal or certain state income taxes is reflected in the financial
        statements. State and local tax provisions, which are generally not
        material, have been included in general and administration expenses.

    e.  USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in
        conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
        management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
        amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
        assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such
        estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenue
        and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ
        from such estimates and assumptions.

    f.  ADVERTISING: The Company charges advertising costs to expense as
        incurred. Advertising costs charged to expense for the ten month period
        ended October 31, 1998 were approximately $57,000.

 2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET:

    Receivables are presented net of an aggregate allowances for doubtful
    accounts of $511,000 at October 31, 1998. Receivables arise from services
    provided pursuant to contracts or agreements with customers for such
    services.

    plus two percent were collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
    assets and were guaranteed by the stockholders. The note was paid in full
    during 1998 and the banking agreement has been terminated.

              maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

           INCOME TAXES:

              The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to
              be taxed as an "S" Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code,
              which provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the
              stockholders are taxed individually on their pro-rata share of the
              Company's taxable income. Accordingly, no provision or liability
              for Federal or certain state income taxes is reflected in the
              financial statements. State and local tax provisions, which are
              not material, have been included in general and administration
              expenses.

           USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
              the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
              could differ from those estimates.

           ADVERTISING

           The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.
           Advertising costs charged to expense for the year ended December 31,
           1997 and 1996 was approximately $90,000 and $44,000.

           RECLASSIFICATIONS

              Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year
              financial statements to conform with the presentation for 1997.

To the Stockholders
Lexus Temporaries, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lexus Temporaries, Inc. as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of income and retained
earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Lexus Temporaries, Inc. as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

================================================================================

NOTE 1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

           NATURE OF BUSINESS:

              Lexus Temporaries, Inc. (the "Company") provides temporary
              personnel services to business organizations, including special
              technical content jobs such as PC technicians, and low technical
              content positions such as secretarial and clerical. Substantially
              all of the Company's service fees (97% in 1997 and 94% in 1996)
              were attributable to one client, a regional telephone company.
              Amounts due from this client represented approximately 96% and 90%
              of total accounts receivable at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

           CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

              The Company considers all short-term investments with an original
              maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

           INCOME TAXES:

              The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to
              be taxed as an "S" Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code,
              which provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the
              stockholders are taxed individually on their pro-rata share of the
              Company's taxable income. Accordingly, no provision or liability
              for Federal or certain state income taxes is reflected in the
              financial statements. State and local tax provisions, which are
              generally not material, have been included in general and
              administration expenses.

           USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
              the financial statements and accompanying notes.
              Actual results could differ from those estimates.

           ADVERTISING:

              The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.
              Advertising costs charged to expense for the year ended December
              31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $74,000 and $122,000.

           RECLASSIFICATIONS

              Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year
              financial statements to conform with the presentation for 1997.

           limitations as defined in the agreement. The borrowings, which bear
           interest at the lenders base rate plus 2% are collateralized by
           substantially all of the Company's assets and are guaranteed by the
           stockholders. At December 31, 1997, approximately $583,000 in cash
           collections from Lexstra International, Inc. (Note 3) were being held
           as collateral for Company borrowings.


NOTE 3.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

              The Company shares office space and certain other resources with
              Lexstra International, Inc. ("Lexstra"), an entity which is owned
              by the stockholders of the Company. Amounts due from related party
              represent non-interest bearing advances made by the Company.

           RELATED PARTY:

              Note payable, related party, at December 31, 1996, represented a
              loan made to the Company by a relative of one of the stockholders.
              The loan, with interest at 9%, was repaid in January, 1997.

           DUE FROM STOCKHOLDERS:

              Due from stockholders represents non-interest bearing advances
              made by the Company.


NOTE 4.    RETIREMENT PLAN

           Effective November 1, 1996, the Company established a 401(K)
           Retirement Plan for all of its employees. The Plan allows each
           employee the opportunity to contribute up to a maximum of $10,000 per
           year. The Company is not obligated to contribute to the Plan. The
           Company made no contributions to the Plan during the years ended

            ITEM 7 (b) PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

                          PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

The following unaudited pro forma financial data has been derived from the
unaudited historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine

Company") and from the unaudited historical financial statements of Lexstra
International, Inc. and Lexus Temporaries, Inc. as of and for the nine months

the Company for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1997 and of Lexstra

year ended December 31, 1997.

The Company acquired Lexstra International, Inc. and Lexus Temporaries, Inc.
effective October 31, 1998 ("the Acquisition"). The pro forma information gives
effect to the Acquisition as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma
consolidated financial data.

consolidated financial data do not purport to represent what the Company's
results of operations or financial position would actually have been had these
transactions occurred at such times. This data also does nor purport to project
the Company's results of operations or financial position for or at any future

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Effective October 31, 1998, MSX International, Inc. ("MSXI" or "the Company")
consummated its acquisition of Lexstra International, Inc, and Lexus
Temporaries, Inc. ("the Acquisition") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement
dated as of October 23, 1998. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of MSX International, Inc. purchased substantially all of the assets
and assumed substantially all of the operating liabilities of Lexstra
International, Inc, and Lexus Temporaries, Inc. The Company did not assume any
bank debt. The total purchase price for these net assets was $24 million at the
closing with additional payments contingent on achieving certain operating
results for the years 1998 through 2000. The Acquisition was initially announced
on October 27, 1998, and via a filing under Form 8-K on October 28, 1998. The
Acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Funding for the transaction was provided by borrowings under the New Credit
Facility.

The pro forma consolidated financial statements include preliminary allocations 
of the aggregate purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on estimated fair values. Purchase accounting adjustments necessary to
allocate the aggregate purchase price remain subject to change and amortization
expense reflected in the MSX International, Inc. financial statements may vary
from the pro forma information. The final determination of the purchase price
for the Acquisition will be completed when certain contractual matters are
concluded. Any adjustments to the purchase price will change recorded goodwill
and will be amortized to expense over the remaining goodwill period. Management
believes the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the
results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

The following unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on available information
and certain management estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that such
adjustments provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant
effects of the Acquisition and that the pro forma adjustments are properly
applied in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

ADJUSTMENTS TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AS OF
SEPTEMBER 27, 1998

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of
September 27, 1998 has been prepared as if the Acquisition had been consummated
as of September 27, 1998.

    acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
(B) Eliminate assets not acquired and liabilities not assumed. 
(C) Record borrowings under the New Credit Facility.

     taxed under Subchapter-S of the Internal Revenue Code, which provided that,
     in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders were taxed individually
     on their pro-rata share of taxable income. This adjustment is to record the

     corporations taxed at an assumed effective income tax rate of 38%.
