TechTeam Global Retirement Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the TechTeam Global Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2003 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

TechTeam Global Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2003
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of the TechTeam Global Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible full-time employees of TechTeam Global, Inc. (the Company) and its domestic subsidiaries. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 75% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan document, subject to the legislated limitations. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans. A participant may direct their contributions to any of the Plans fund options.
The Company may make discretionary matching contributions to the Plan, which are made in the form of Company stock. Participants cannot redirect Company contributions to other fund options. The Company made matching contributions up to 35% of the first 4% of a participants base compensation in 2003. The Company suspended matching contributions in 2004.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and allocations of the Companys contributions, investment earnings, and Plan expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions. Participants become fully vested in Company contributions upon completion of one year of service. Participants also become fully vested upon death, disability, or retirement at designated ages.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Forfeitures
No forfeitures were used to reduce the Companys contribution to the Plan in 2003. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, forfeited account balances totaled $68,923 and $66,724, respectively.
Loans to Participants
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up to 25 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the participants account balance and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the Plan administrator. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.
Payment of Benefits
A participant will receive a lump-sum distribution equal to the value of his or her account upon termination of service, death, disability, or retirement. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the vested value of the participants account.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the amount in each participants account would become 100% vested and be distributed to each participant in accordance with distribution policies set forth in the Plan.
Fees and Expenses
All expenses incurred by the Plan, consisting primarily of administrative costs, are paid by the Plan.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments
Investments consist of pooled separate accounts, mutual funds, and TechTeam Global, Inc. common stock and are stated at fair value. The fair value of participation units owned by the Plan in pooled separate accounts is based on quoted redemption values on the last business day of the Plan year. The fair value of mutual funds are based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans are stated at the amount of their outstanding balance, which approximates fair value. The TechTeam Global Stock Fund is administered as a pooled separate account.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest and dividend income are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
6. Tax Status
The Plan has not received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan has been designed to comply with and is operating in accordance with the requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes the Plan is qualified and the related trust is exempt from taxation.
