("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. (A) Record the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. (B) Eliminate assets not acquired and liabilities not assumed. (C) Record borrowings under the New Credit Facility. (D) Eliminate equity of the acquired businesses. F-33 38 ADJUSTMENTS TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal nine months ended September 27, 1998 include the following adjustments to present results as if the Acquisition had been consummated on January 3, 1997. (A) Reduce executive compensation expense to reflect new contractual agreements negotiated in connection with the Acquisition. (B) Record amortization of goodwill resulting from the Acquisition over an estimated useful life of 30 years. (C) Record interest expense associated with the New Credit Facility at an assumed annual interest rate of 7.19%. (D) Record the income tax benefit resulting from the pro forma adjustments related to the Acquisition at an assumed effective income tax rate of 38%. (E) Lexstra International, Inc. and Lexus Temporaries, Inc. had elected to be 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 assumed income tax provision that would have been incurred if Lexstra International, Inc. and Lexus Temporaries, Inc. had been taxable corporations taxed at an assumed effective income tax rate of 38%. ADJUSTMENTS TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 28, 1997 The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1997 include the following adjustments to present results as if the Acquisition had been consummated on January 3, 1997.
