CDI Corp.

1.     Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of CDI Corp. (“CDI” or the “Company”) are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is derived from the audited balance sheet of the Company at that date. These statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to reports on Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002 reported in Form 10-K, filed March 27, 2003. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any portion thereof.

2.     New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation Number 46 (“FIN 46”) - Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51. FIN 46 applies to all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003; for the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003 for variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. At this time the Company has no variable interest entities.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 149 (“SFAS 149”) - Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 is applicable for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003; for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003; for provisions that relate to Statement 133 implementation issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, apply in accordance with their respective effective dates; for paragraphs 7(a) and 23(a), apply to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. The Company generally does not engage in hedging activities with respect to foreign operations except for isolated situations involving inter-company payments that have not been material. The effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have been immaterial.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 150 (“SFAS 150”) – Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 establishes standards that require companies to classify certain financial instruments as liabilities that were previously classified as equity. SFAS 150 was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The remaining provisions of SFAS 150, are effective for all periods starting July 1, 2003. The Company has reviewed SFAS 150 and has determined there is no financial statement impact.

3.     Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were comprised of the following:

Cash equivalents and short-term investments are in liquid, high quality debt securities with diversification among the investments based upon the Company’s guidelines. Amortized cost approximates fair value. Realized gains and losses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 were immaterial and there were no transfers of investments between classifications of short-term investments.

All of the Company’s available-for-sale securities reflect investments in corporate bonds, various government agencies and commercial paper. In May 2003, the $15.2 million certificate-of-deposit being held-to-maturity matured and the proceeds were reinvested in available-for-sale and cash equivalent securities.

Available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2003 of $30.0 million include $9.9 million for securities maturing in one year or less and $20.1 million for securities maturing in one to four years.

4.     Goodwill

The adoption of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, required testing as of January 1, 2002 for impairment of goodwill carried in the Company’s balance sheet as of that date. The valuations performed on the various units identified by the Company indicated that goodwill for some of the units was impaired. The fair value of these units was less than the carrying cost of the underlying net assets. The valuation was determined by using the current and projected earnings, cash flows and market comparables. Testing for impairment of goodwill prior to January 1, 2002 was based upon undiscounted cash flows from the related assets, as compared to the fair value approach required under SFAS 142.

As of January 1, 2002, impairment charges for the write-off of goodwill were $21.4 million (Professional Services - $15.0 million; Project Management - $0.2 million; Management Recruiters - $6.2 million), or $14.0 million net of income tax. These charges were recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting.

SFAS 142 also requires the Company to test for impairment on an annual basis. The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2003 and found no further impairments.

5.     Provision for Restructure

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company recorded $0.1 million of restructuring charges, as compared to $12.6 million recorded in the first nine months of 2002. This charge includes severances of $0.4 million in connection with the Company’s new growth strategy and leadership consolidation plan, partially offset by a $0.3 million adjustment to true-up a previously estimated provision for operating lease obligations.

The table presented below shows the current year activity from a balance sheet perspective:

The remaining liability for severance will be substantially paid by the first quarter of 2004. The Company anticipates that the remaining liability for the termination of operating leases will be substantially paid by December 31, 2005. Management intends to liquidate the Company’s remaining lease obligations as soon as possible. The accrual for the provision for restructure is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The breakdown of the restructuring charges for 2003 and 2002 among operating segments is as follows:

6.     Discontinued Operations

In June 2002, the Company sold the net operating assets of its Modern Engineering, Inc. (“Modern”) subsidiary that operated in its Project Management segment. Modern provided technical staffing services to the automotive industry. The operations of Modern were a component of CDI, as that term is defined in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, and accordingly, are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.

The earnings from discontinued operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 were as follows:

7.     Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for all periods are the reported earnings in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings. All reported earnings (loss) pertain to common shareholders and no assumed adjustments are necessary. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the number of basic and diluted shares are the same because including the effect of common stock equivalents would have been antidilutive.

The number of common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was determined as follows:
