CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc.

We are the largest global commercial real estate services firm, based on 2003 revenue, offering a full range of services to occupiers, owners, lenders and investors in office, retail, industrial, multi-family and other commercial real estate assets. As of December 31, 2003, we operated in 48 countries with over 13,500 employees in 220 offices providing commercial real estate services under the “CB Richard Ellis” brand name. Our business is focused on several service competencies, including strategic advice and execution assistance for property leasing and sales, forecasting, valuations, origination and servicing of commercial mortgage loans, facilities and project management and real estate investment management. We generate revenues both on a per project or transaction basis and from annual management fees.

We have a well-balanced, highly diversified base of clients that includes more than 60% of the Fortune 100. Many of our clients are consolidating their commercial real estate-related expenditures with fewer providers and, as a result, awarding their business to those providers that have a strong presence in important markets and the ability to provide a complete range of services worldwide. As a result of this trend and our ability to deliver comprehensive solutions for our clients’ needs across a wide range of markets, we believe we are well positioned to capture a growing percentage of our clients’ commercial real estate services expenditures.

Industry Overview

Our business covers all the various segments that compose the commercial real estate services industry, which includes leasing, sales, property management, facilities management, consulting, mortgage origination and servicing, valuation and appraisal services and investment management. Based upon our experience in these various segments and our management’s ongoing internally-generated assessment of the size of the addressable market within each such segment, we believe that the U.S. commercial real estate services industry, excluding investment management, generated approximately $22 billion in revenues during 2003.

In addition, we review on a quarterly basis various internally-generated statistics and estimates regarding both office and industrial space within the U.S. commercial real estate services industry, including the total available “stock” of rentable space and the average rent per square foot of space. Our management believes that changes in the addressable commercial rental market represented by the product of available stock and rent per square foot provide a reliable estimate of changes in the overall commercial real estate services industry because nearly all segments within the industry are affected by changes in those two measurements. We estimate that the product of available stock and rent per square foot grew at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 4.8% from 1993 through 2003.

Index to Financial Statements

During the next few years, we believe the key drivers of revenue growth for the largest commercial real estate services companies will be the following:

•

Outsourcing. Motivated by reduced costs, lower overhead, improved execution across markets, increased operational efficiency and a desire to focus on their core competencies, property owners and occupiers have increasingly contracted out for commercial real estate services, including transaction management, facilities management, project management, lease administration, property management and property accounting.

•

Consolidation. The commercial real estate services industry remains highly fragmented, and we believe that major property owners and corporate users are motivated to consolidate their service provider relationships on a regional, national and global basis to obtain more consistent execution across markets, to achieve economies of scale and enhanced purchasing power and to benefit from streamlined management oversight and the efficiency of “single point of contact” service delivery.

•

Institutional Ownership of Commercial Real Estate. Institutional owners, such as real estate investment trusts, or REITs, pension funds, foreign institutions and other financial entities, increasingly are acquiring more real estate assets and financing them in the capital markets. We believe it is likely that these owners will outsource management of their portfolios and consolidate their use of commercial real estate services vendors.

Our Regions of Operation and Principal Services

The Americas

The Americas is our largest segment of operations and provides a comprehensive range of services throughout the United States and in the largest metropolitan regions in Canada, Mexico and other selected parts of Latin America. Our Americas segment accounted for 73.5% of our 2003 revenue.

Within our Americas segment, we organize our services into the following business areas:

Advisory Services. Our advisory services business line accounted for 59.7% of our 2003 revenue. We believe we are a market leader for the provision of sales and leasing real estate services in many U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau), including New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston and Dallas.

•

Real Estate Services. We provide strategic advice and execution assistance to owners, investors and occupiers of real estate in connection with leasing, disposition and acquisition of property.

•

Mortgage Loan Origination and Servicing. Our wholly owned subsidiary, L.J. Melody & Company, originates and services commercial mortgage loans without incurring principal risk.

•

Valuation. We provide valuation services that include market value appraisals, litigation support, discounted cash flow analyses and feasibility and fairness opinions.

Index to Financial Statements

Outsourcing Services. Our outsourcing services business line accounted for 11.2% of our 2003 revenue. As of December 31, 2003, we managed approximately 422.8 million square feet of commercial space for property owners and occupiers, which we believe represents one of the largest portfolios in the Americas.

•

Investment Management Services. Our investment management services business line accounted for 2.6% of our 2003 revenue. Our wholly owned subsidiary, CB Richard Ellis Investors, L.L.C., provides investment management services to clients that include pension plans, investment funds, insurance companies and other organizations seeking to generate returns and diversification through investment in real estate and sponsors funds and investment programs that span the risk/return spectrum.

Europe, Middle East and Africa

Our EMEA segment has offices in 28 countries, with its largest operations located in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, The Netherlands and Germany. Operations within the EMEA countries generally include brokerage, investment properties, corporate services, valuation/appraisal services, asset management services, facilities management and other services similar to our Americas segment. We hold strong commercial real estate services market positions in a number of European metropolitan areas, including the leading market position in London in terms of 2003 leased square footage. The EMEA segment accounted for 19.2% of our 2003 revenue.

Asia Pacific

Our Asia Pacific segment has offices in 11 countries, with our principal operations located in China (including Hong Kong), Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The services we provide in our Asia Pacific segment are generally similar to those provided by our Americas and EMEA segments. We believe we are one of only a few companies that can provide a full range of commercial real estate services to large corporations throughout the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific segment accounted for 7.3% of our 2003 revenue.

Our Competitive Position

We believe we possess several competitive strengths that position us to capitalize on the positive outsourcing, consolidation and globalization trends in the commercial real estate services industry. Our strengths include the following:

•

Index to Financial Statements

•

Attractive Business Model. Our business model features a diversified client base, recurring revenue streams, a variable cost structure, low capital requirements and strong cash flow generation.

•

Strong Management Team and Workforce. We have recruited a talented and motivated workforce of over 13,500 employees worldwide, who are supported by a strong and deep senior management team consisting of a number of highly-respected executives, most of whom have over 20 years of broad experience in the real estate industry.

Although we believe these strengths will create significant opportunities for our business, you should also be aware of the risks that may impact our competitive position, which include the following:

•

Significant Leverage. We have significant debt service obligations and the agreements governing our long-term debt impose operating and financial restrictions on the conduct of our business.

•

Geographic Concentration. A significant portion of our U.S. operations is concentrated in California and in the New York metropolitan area. Adverse effects on these local economies may affect us more than our competitors.

•

Exposure to Risks of International Operations. Because a significant portion of our revenue is derived from operations outside the United States, we are exposed to exchange rate and other foreign social, political and economic risks.

•

Smaller Presence in Some Markets than our Local Competitors. Although we have a large global presence, many of our competitors may be larger on a local or regional basis and devote more resources to these markets.

Our Growth Strategy

We believe we have built an integrated, global services platform that is unparalleled in our industry. Our primary business objective is to use this platform to garner a disproportionate share of industry revenues relative to our competitors. We believe this will enable us to maximize and sustain our long-term cash flow and increase long-term stockholder value. Our strategy to achieve these business objectives consists of several elements:

•

Increase Revenue from Large Clients. We plan to capitalize on our client management strategy for our large clients, by using relationship management teams to provide these clients with a full range of services globally while maximizing our revenue per client.

•

Capitalize on Cross-selling Opportunities. Because we believe cross-selling represents a large growth opportunity within the commercial real estate services industry, we have dedicated substantial resources and implemented several management initiatives to better enable our workforce to capitalize on these opportunities among our various lines of business.

•

Focus on Best Practices to Improve Operating Efficiency. In 2001, we launched a best practices initiative, branded “People, Platform & Performance,” to achieve operating cost reductions, and we continue to strive for efficiency improvements and cost savings in order to maximize our operating margins and cash flow.

We were incorporated in Delaware on February 20, 2001. Our principal executive offices are located at 865 South Figueroa Street, Suite 3400, Los Angeles, California 90017 and our telephone number is (213) 438-4880. Our website address is www.cbre.com.

EPS and weighted average shares for our predecessor company do not reflect the 3-for-1 stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock effected on May 4, 2004, or the 1-for-1.0825 reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock to be effected prior to the completion of the offering, because our predecessor was a different legal entity.

For the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001, the 21,741,351 and the 21,920,915 shares represent the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively. These balances take into consideration the lower number of shares outstanding prior to July 20, 2001, the date we acquired CB Richard Ellis Services.

(6)

EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our management believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. In addition, our management believes that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, our management uses EBITDA as a measure to evaluate the performance of our various business lines and for other discretionary purposes, including as a significant component when measuring our performance under our employee incentive programs.

However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, operating income (loss) and net (loss) income, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax payments and debt service requirements. The amounts shown for EBITDA also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.

EBITDA is calculated as follows:

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves risks. Before making an investment in our common stock, you should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The risks described below are those that we believe are the material risks we face. Any of the risk factors described below could significantly and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business

The success of our business is significantly related to general economic conditions and, accordingly, our business could be harmed in the event of an economic slowdown or recession.

Periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates, a declining demand for real estate or the public perception that any of these events may occur, can harm many of our business lines. These economic conditions could result in a general decline in rents, which in turn would reduce revenue from property management fees and brokerage commissions derived from property sales and leases. In addition, these conditions could lead to a decline in sales prices as well as a decline in demand for funds invested in commercial real estate and related assets. An economic downturn or a significant increase in interest rates also may reduce the amount of loan originations and related servicing by our commercial mortgage banking business. If our brokerage and mortgage banking businesses are negatively impacted, it is likely that our other lines of business would also suffer due to the relationship among our various business lines. Further, as a result of our debt level and the terms of our existing debt instruments, our exposure to adverse general economic conditions is heightened.

As an example of this risk, during 2002 and 2001, we were adversely affected by the slowdown in the U.S. economy, which negatively impacted the commercial real estate market. This caused a decline in our leasing activities within the United States. Moreover, in part because of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the subsequent conflict with Iraq, the economic climate in the United States became very uncertain, which had an adverse effect on commercial real estate market conditions and, in turn, our operating results for 2002 and 2001.

If the properties that we manage fail to perform, then our financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

The revenue we generate from our asset services and facilities management lines of business is generally a percentage of aggregate rent collections from properties, although many management agreements provide for a specified minimum management fee. Accordingly, our success partially depends upon the performance of the properties we manage. The performance of these properties will depend upon the following factors, among others, many of which are partially or completely outside of our control:

•

our ability to attract and retain creditworthy tenants;

•

the magnitude of defaults by tenants under their respective leases;

•

our ability to control operating expenses;

•

governmental regulations, local rent control or stabilization ordinances which are in, or may be put into, effect;

•

various uninsurable risks;

•

financial conditions prevailing generally and in the areas in which these properties are located;

•

the nature and extent of competitive properties; and

•

the real estate market generally.

Index to Financial Statements

We have numerous significant competitors, some of which may have greater financial resources than we do.

We compete across a variety of business disciplines within the commercial real estate industry, including investment management, tenant representation, corporate services, construction and development management, property management, agency leasing, valuation and mortgage banking. In general, with respect to each of our business disciplines, we cannot give assurance that we will be able to continue to compete effectively or maintain our current fee arrangements or margin levels or that we will not encounter increased competition. Each of the business disciplines in which we compete is highly competitive on an international, national, regional and local level. Although we are the largest commercial real estate services firm in the world in terms of 2003 revenue, our relative competitive position varies significantly across product and service categories and geographic areas. Depending on the product or service, we face competition from other real estate service providers, institutional lenders, insurance companies, investment banking firms, investment managers and accounting firms, some of which may have greater financial resources than we do. Many of our competitors are local or regional firms. Although substantially smaller than us, some of these competitors are larger on a local or regional basis. We are also subject to competition from other large national and multi-national firms that have similar service competencies to ours.

Our international operations subject us to social, political and economic risks of doing business in foreign countries.

We conduct a significant portion of our business and employ a substantial number of people outside of the United States. During 2003, we generated approximately 30.2% of our revenue from operations outside the United States. Circumstances and developments related to international operations that could negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of operations include, but are not limited to, the following factors:

•

difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;

•

currency restrictions, which may prevent the transfer of capital and profits to the United States;

•

unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

•

potentially adverse tax consequences;

•

the responsibility of complying with multiple and potentially conflicting laws;

•

the impact of regional or country-specific business cycles and economic instability;

•

the geographic, time zone, language and cultural differences among personnel in different areas of the world;

•

greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable in some geographic regions such as Asia, where many countries have underdeveloped insolvency laws and clients are often slow to pay, and in some European countries, where clients also tend to delay payments;

•

political instability; and

•

foreign ownership restrictions with respect to operations in countries such as China.

We have committed additional resources to expand our worldwide sales and marketing activities, to globalize our service offerings and products in selected markets and to develop local sales and support channels. If we are unable to successfully implement these plans, to maintain adequate long-term strategies that successfully manage the risks associated with our global business or to adequately manage operational fluctuations, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed.

In addition, our international operations and, specifically, the ability of our non-U.S. subsidiaries to dividend or otherwise transfer cash among our subsidiaries, including transfers of cash to pay interest and principal on our debt, may be affected by limitations on imports, currency exchange control regulations, transfer pricing regulations and potentially adverse tax consequences, among other things.

Index to Financial Statements

Our revenue and earnings may be adversely affected by foreign currency fluctuations.

Our revenue from non-U.S. operations is denominated primarily in the local currency where the associated revenue was earned. During 2003, approximately 30.2% of our business was transacted in currencies of foreign countries, the majority of which included the Euro, the British Pound Sterling, the Hong Kong dollar, the Singapore dollar and the Australian dollar. Thus, we may experience fluctuations in revenues and earnings because of corresponding fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, during 2003, the U.S. dollar dropped in value against many of the currencies in which we conduct business.

We have made significant acquisitions of non-U.S. companies, and, although we currently have no specific acquisition plans, we may acquire additional foreign companies in the future. As we increase our foreign operations, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the other currencies in which we may generate earnings could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Due to the constantly changing currency exposures to which we will be subject and the volatility of currency exchange rates, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations.

From time to time, our management uses currency hedging instruments, including foreign currency forward and option contracts and borrows in foreign currencies. Economic risks associated with these hedging instruments include unexpected fluctuations in inflation rates, which impact cash flow relative to paying down debt, and unexpected changes in the underlying net asset position. These hedging activities also may not be effective.

Our growth has depended significantly upon acquisitions, which may not be available in the future.

A significant component of our growth has occurred through acquisitions, including our acquisition of Insignia on July 23, 2003. Although we currently have no specific acquisition plans, any future growth through acquisitions will be partially dependent upon the continued availability of suitable acquisition candidates at favorable prices and upon advantageous terms and conditions. However, future acquisitions may not be available at advantageous prices or upon favorable terms and conditions. In addition, acquisitions involve risks that the businesses acquired will not perform in accordance with expectations and that business judgments concerning the value, strengths and weaknesses of businesses acquired will prove incorrect. Future acquisitions and any necessary related financings also may involve significant transaction-related expenses. For example, through March 31, 2004, we have incurred approximately $175.0 million of transaction-related expenses in connection with our acquisition of Insignia in 2003.

Although we currently have no specific acquisition plans, if we acquire companies in the future, we may experience integration costs and the acquired business may not perform as we expect.

We have had, and may continue to experience, difficulties in integrating operations and accounting systems acquired from other companies. These difficulties include the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns and the potential loss of our key employees or those of the acquired operations. We believe that most acquisitions will initially have an adverse impact on operating and net income. For example, in 2003 we incurred costs associated with integrating Insignia’s business into our existing business lines. Acquisitions also frequently involve significant costs related to integrating information technology, accounting and management services and rationalizing personnel levels. In connection with the Insignia acquisition, we recorded significant charges during 2003 and the first quarter of 2004 relating to integration costs.

In addition, we have several different accounting systems as a result of acquisitions we have made, including the accounting systems of Insignia. If we are unable to fully integrate the accounting and other systems of the businesses we own, we may not be able to effectively manage our acquired businesses. Moreover, the integration process itself may be disruptive to our business as it requires coordination of geographically diverse organizations and implementation of new accounting and information technology systems.

Index to Financial Statements

A significant portion of our operations are concentrated in California and New York, and our business could be harmed if the economic downturn continues in the California or New York real estate markets.

During 2003, approximately 23.8% of our revenue was generated from transactions originating in California and approximately 6.9% was generated from transactions originating in the greater New York metropolitan area. In addition, due to our acquisition of Insignia on July 23, 2003, we expect that the percentage of our revenue generated in the New York metropolitan area in future years will increase. As a result of the geographic concentrations in California and New York, any future economic downturn in the California or New York commercial real estate markets and in the local economies in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County or the greater New York metropolitan area could further harm our results of operations.

Our results of operations vary significantly among quarters during each calendar year, which makes comparisons of our quarterly results difficult.

A significant portion of our revenue is seasonal. Historically, this seasonality has caused our revenue, operating income, net income and cash flow from operating activities to be lower in the first two quarters and higher in the third and fourth quarters of each year. The concentration of earnings and cash flow in the fourth quarter is due to an industry-wide focus on completing transactions toward the fiscal year-end. This has historically resulted in lower profits or a loss in the first and second quarters, with profits growing (or losses decreasing) in each subsequent quarter. This variance among quarters during each calendar year makes comparison between such quarters difficult, but does not generally affect the comparison of the same quarters during different calendar years.

Our substantial leverage and debt service obligations could harm our ability to operate our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our debt.

We are highly leveraged and have significant debt service obligations. For 2003, on a pro forma basis, our interest expense was $63.5 million. Our substantial level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay when due the principal of, interest on or other amounts due in respect of our indebtedness. In addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our substantial leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

Our substantial debt could have other important consequences, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

we could be required to use a substantial portion, if not all, of our cash flow from operations to pay principal and interest on our debt;

•

our level of debt may restrict us from raising additional financing on satisfactory terms to fund working capital, strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and other general corporate requirements;

•

our interest expense could increase if interest rates increase because the loans under our amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities bear interest at floating rates;

•

our substantial leverage could increase our vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse competitive and industry conditions, placing us at a disadvantage compared to those of our competitors that are less leveraged;

•

our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in the commercial real estate services industry;

•

our failure to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the documents governing our indebtedness, which, among others, require us to maintain specified financial ratios and limit our ability

Index to Financial Statements

to incur additional debt and sell assets, could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could harm our business or prospects and could result in our filing for bankruptcy; and

•

from time to time, Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s Ratings Service rate our outstanding senior secured term loan, our 9¾% senior notes and our 11¼% senior subordinated notes. These ratings may impact our ability to borrow under any new agreements in the future, as well as the interest rates and other terms of any such future borrowings and could also cause a decline in the market price of our common stock or changes in the interest rate for the term loan under our new amended and restated credit agreement.

We cannot be certain that our earnings will be sufficient to allow us to pay principal and interest on our debt and meet our other obligations. If we do not have sufficient earnings, we may be required to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell assets, borrow more money or sell more securities, none of which we can guarantee we will be able to do.

We will be able to incur more indebtedness, which may intensify the risks associated with our substantial leverage, including our ability to service our indebtedness.

Our new amended and restated credit agreement, as will be effective following this offering, governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures relating to our 9¾% senior notes due 2010 and our 11¼% senior subordinated notes due 2011 permit us, subject to specified conditions, to incur a significant amount of additional indebtedness, including up to $150.0 million of additional indebtedness under our revolving credit facility. Our new amended and restated credit agreement also will permit us to increase the term facility by up to $25.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our substantial leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

Our debt instruments impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, and in the event of a default, all of our borrowings would become immediately due and payable.

The indentures governing our 9¾% senior notes due 2010 and our 11¼% senior subordinated notes due 2011 impose, and the terms of any future debt may impose, operating and other restrictions on us and many of our subsidiaries. These restrictions will affect, and in many respects will limit or prohibit, our ability and our restricted subsidiaries’ abilities to:

•

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

•

pay dividends or make distributions on capital stock or redeem or repurchase capital stock;

•

repurchase equity interests;

•

make investments;

•

create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us;

•

sell stock of subsidiaries;

•

transfer or sell assets;

•

create liens;

•

enter into transactions with affiliates;

•

enter into sale/leaseback transactions; and

•

enter into mergers or consolidations.

In addition, the amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities includes other and more restrictive covenants and prohibits us from prepaying most of our other debt while debt

Index to Financial Statements

under our senior secured credit facilities is outstanding. The amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities also requires us to maintain compliance with specified financial ratios. Our ability to comply with these ratios may be affected by events beyond our control.

The restrictions contained in our debt instruments could:

•

limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet capital needs or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans; and

•

adversely affect our ability to finance ongoing operations, strategic acquisitions, investments or other capital needs or to engage in other business activities that would be in our interest.

A breach of any of these restrictive covenants or the inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under our debt instruments. If any such default occurs, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities and the holders of our 9¾% senior notes due 2010 and our 11¼% senior subordinated notes due 2011, pursuant to the respective indentures, may elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable. The lenders under our senior secured credit facilities also have the right in these circumstances to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings. If we are unable to repay outstanding borrowings when due, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities will have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the debt, which collateral is described in the immediately following risk factor. If the debt under the senior secured credit facilities, our 9¾% senior notes due 2010 and our 11¼% senior subordinated notes due 2011 were to be accelerated, we cannot give assurance that these assets would be sufficient to repay our debt.

If we fail to meet our payment or other obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities could foreclose on, and acquire control of, substantially all of our assets.

In connection with the incurrence of indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities and the completion of our acquisition of Insignia, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities received a pledge of all of our equity interests in our significant domestic subsidiaries, including CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc., CB Richard Ellis Investors, L.L.C., L.J. Melody & Company, Insignia and Insignia/ESG, Inc., which was subsequently renamed CB Richard Ellis Real Estate Services, Inc., and 65% of the voting stock of our foreign subsidiaries that is held directly by us or our domestic subsidiaries. Additionally, these lenders generally have a lien on substantially all of our accounts receivable, cash, general intangibles, investment property and future acquired material property. As a result of these pledges and liens, if we fail to meet our payment or other obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities will be entitled to foreclose on substantially all of our assets and liquidate these assets.

Our co-investment activities subject us to real estate investment risks which could cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flow.

An important part of the strategy for our investment management business involves investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. As of December 31, 2003, we had committed $26.6 million to fund future co-investments. We expect that approximately $23 million of these commitments will be funded during 2004. In addition to required future capital contributions, some of the co-investment entities may request additional capital from us and our subsidiaries holding investments in those assets and the failure to provide these contributions could have adverse consequences to our interests in these investments. These adverse consequences could include damage to our reputation with our co-investment partners and clients, as well as the necessity of obtaining alternative funding from other sources that may be on disadvantageous terms for us and the other co-investors. Providing co-investment financing is also a very important part of CBRE Investor’s investment management business, which would suffer if we were unable to make these investments. Although our debt instruments contain restrictions that will limit our ability to provide capital to the entities holding direct or indirect interests in co-investments, we may provide this capital in many instances.

Index to Financial Statements

Participation in real estate transactions through co-investment activity could increase fluctuations in earnings and cash flow. Other risks associated with these activities include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

losses from investments;

•

difficulties associated with international co-investments described in “—Our international operations subject us to social, political and economic risks of doing business in foreign countries” and “—Our revenue and earnings may be adversely affected by foreign currency fluctuations;” and

•

potential lack of control over the disposition of any co-investments and the timing of the recognition of gains, losses or potential incentive participation fees.

Our joint venture activities involve unique risks that are often outside of our control which, if realized, could harm our business.

We have utilized joint ventures for commercial investments and local brokerage and other partnerships both in the United States and internationally, and although we currently have no specific plans to do so, we may acquire minority interests in other joint ventures in the future. In many of these joint ventures, we may not have the right or power to direct the management and policies of the joint ventures and other participants may take action contrary to our instructions or requests and against our policies and objectives. In addition, the other participants may become bankrupt or have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours. If a joint venture participant acts contrary to our interest, it could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our success depends upon the retention of our senior management, as well as our ability to attract and retain qualified and experienced employees.

Our continued success is highly dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees, including Ray Wirta, our Chief Executive Officer; Brett White, our President; Kenneth J. Kay, our Chief Financial Officer; Alan C. Froggatt, our President, EMEA; and Robert Blain, our President, Asia Pacific. In addition, Messrs. Wirta and White currently are not parties to employment agreements with us. If any of our key employees leave and we are unable to quickly hire and integrate a qualified replacement, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer. In addition, the growth of our business is largely dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in all areas of our business, including brokerage and property management personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain these qualified personnel, our growth may be limited and our business and operating results could suffer.

If we fail to comply with laws and regulations applicable to real estate brokerage and mortgage transactions and other business lines, we may incur significant financial penalties.

Due to the broad geographic scope of our operations and the numerous forms of real estate services performed, we are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations specific to the services performed. For example, the brokerage of real estate sales and leasing transactions requires us to maintain brokerage licenses in each state in which we operate. If we fail to maintain our licenses or conduct brokerage activities without a license, we may be required to pay fines or return commissions received or have licenses suspended. In addition, because the size and scope of real estate sales transactions have increased significantly during the past several years, both the difficulty of ensuring compliance with the numerous state licensing regimes and the possible loss resulting from non-compliance have increased. Furthermore, the laws and regulations applicable to our business, both in the United States and in foreign countries, also may change in ways that materially increase the costs of compliance.

Index to Financial Statements

We may have liabilities in connection with real estate brokerage and property management activities.

As a licensed real estate broker, we and our licensed employees are subject to statutory due diligence, disclosure and standard-of-care obligations. Failure to fulfill these obligations could subject us or our employees to litigation from parties who purchased, sold or leased properties that we or they brokered or managed. We could become subject to claims by participants in real estate sales claiming that we did not fulfill our statutory obligations as a broker.

In addition, in our property management business, we hire and supervise third-party contractors to provide construction and engineering services for our managed properties. While our role is limited to that of a supervisor, we may be subjected to claims for construction defects or other similar actions. Adverse outcomes of property management litigation could negatively impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We agreed to retain contingent liabilities in connection with Insignia’s sale of substantially all of its real estate investment assets in 2003.

Immediately prior to the completion of our acquisition of Insignia on July 23, 2003, Insignia completed the sale of substantially all of its real estate investment assets to Island Fund. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we agreed to retain some contingent liabilities related to these real estate investment assets, including approximately $10.2 million of letters of credit support and a guarantee of an approximately $1.3 million repayment obligation. Island Fund is obligated to reimburse us for only 50% of any future draws against these letters of credit or the repayment guarantee, and there can be no assurance that Island Fund will be able to satisfy any future requests for reimbursement.

Also in connection with the sale to Island Fund, we agreed to indemnify Island Fund against any losses resulting from the ownership, use or operation of the real estate investment assets prior to the closing of the sale. Although this indemnification obligation to Island Fund is subject to a number of exceptions and limitations, future claims against us pursuant to this indemnification obligation may be material.

In addition, a number of the real estate investment assets that we agreed to sell to Island Fund required the consent of one or more third parties in order to transfer such assets to Island Fund, and some of these third party consents were not obtained prior to the closing and have not been obtained since then. As a result, we continue to hold these real estate investment assets pending the receipt of these third party consents. While we continue to hold these assets, we generally have agreed to provide Island Fund with the economic benefits from these assets, and Island Fund generally has agreed to indemnify us with respect to any losses incurred in connection with our continuing to hold these assets. There can be no assurance, however, that Island Fund actually will be able to provide such indemnification if required to do so at any future date.

Risks Relating to the Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly, in which case you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price. Fluctuations may occur in response to the risk factors listed in this prospectus and for many other reasons, including:

•

our financial performance or the performance of our competitors and similar companies;

•

changes in estimates of our performance or recommendations by securities analysts;

•

failure to meet financial projections for each fiscal quarter;

•

technological innovations or other trends in our industry;

Index to Financial Statements

•

the introduction of new services by us or our competitors;

•

the arrival or departure of key personnel;

•

acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving us or our competitors; and

•

market conditions in our industry, the financial markets and the economy as a whole.

In addition, the stock market, in general, has historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause declines in the market price of our common stock. When the market price of a company’s common stock drops significantly, stockholders often institute securities class action lawsuits against the company. A lawsuit against us could cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of our management and other resources from our business.

There is no existing market for our common stock and we do not know if one will develop to provide you with adequate liquidity.

There has not been a public market for our common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development of an active trading market on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise or how liquid that market might become. If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling any of our common stock that you buy. The initial public offering price for the shares will be determined by negotiations among us, the selling stockholders and the representative of the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following this offering. Consequently, you may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at prices equal to or greater than the price paid by you in this offering.

Future sales of common stock by our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

Our current stockholders will hold a substantial majority of our outstanding common stock after the offering. After the offering, shares owned by our current stockholders, holders of options and warrants to acquire our common stock and participants in our deferred compensation plan who have stock fund units, assuming the exercise of all options and warrants and the distribution of shares underlying all stock fund units, are expected to constitute approximately 69.5% of our total outstanding common stock. Sales of the shares in the public market, as well as shares we may issue upon the exercise of outstanding options and in connection with future distributions pursuant to stock fund units under our deferred compensation plan, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. The perception among investors that these sales may occur could produce the same effect.

Of the outstanding shares after completion of the offering, all of the 24,000,000 shares sold in the offering and 1,110,407 of our other currently outstanding shares will be freely tradable immediately without further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares held by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, may be sold only in compliance with the limitations under Rule 144. The remaining outstanding shares after completion of the offering will be “restricted securities” and generally will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

•

87,498 shares will be eligible for immediate sale on the date of the prospectus because such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k);

•

182,069 shares will be eligible for sale at various times beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus pursuant to Rules 144, 144(k) and 701; and

•

43,234,027 shares, which are subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters, will be eligible for sale at various times beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus pursuant to Rules 144, 144(k) and 701. However, the underwriters may release all or a portion of these shares subject to lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

Index to Financial Statements

In addition, as of May 31, 2004, 10,016,977 shares of common stock were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or in connection with distributions pursuant to our deferred compensation plan. We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933 shortly after the date of this prospectus to register such shares.

After the offering, stockholders beneficially owning approximately 43.5 million shares of our common stock, including shares that will be issuable upon the automatic exercise of outstanding warrants in connection with the completion of the offering, will have rights, subject to conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file. By exercising these registration rights and selling a large number of shares, these holders could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Furthermore, if we were to include their shares in a registration statement, those sales could impair our ability to raise needed capital by depressing the price at which we could sell our common stock.

See the information under the heading titled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the shares that will be available for future sales upon completion of the offering.

For so long as affiliates of Blum Capital Partners, L.P. continue to own a significant percentage of our common stock they will have significant influence over our affairs and policies, and their interests may be different from yours.

After the completion of the offering, affiliates of Blum Capital Partners will beneficially own approximately 42.6% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, pursuant to a securityholders’ agreement, these affiliates of Blum Capital Partners, following the offering and subject to the applicable listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange, are entitled to nominate a percentage of our total number of directors that is equivalent to the percentage of the outstanding common stock beneficially owned by these affiliates, with this percentage of our directors being rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors. Also pursuant to this agreement, some of our other stockholders will be obligated to vote their shares in favor of the directors nominated by these affiliates of Blum Capital Partners. These other stockholders, collectively, will beneficially own approximately 14.1% of our outstanding common stock after completion of the offering. There are no restrictions in the securityholders’ agreement on the ability of these affiliates of Blum Capital Partners to sell their shares to any third party or to assign their rights under the securityholders’ agreement in connection with a sale of a majority of their shares to a third party.

For so long as these affiliates of Blum Capital Partners continue to beneficially own a significant portion of our outstanding common stock, they will continue to have significant influence over matters submitted to our stockholders for approval and to exercise significant control over our business policies and affairs, including the following:

•

the composition of our board of directors and, as a result, any determinations of our board with respect to our business direction and policy, including the appointment and removal of our officers;

•

determinations with respect to mergers and other business combinations, including those that may result in a change of control;

•

sales and dispositions of our assets; and

•

the amount of debt financing that we incur.

The significant ownership position of the affiliates of Blum Capital Partners could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our other stockholders. In addition, we cannot assure you that the interests of the affiliates of Blum Capital Partners will not conflict with yours. For additional information regarding the share ownership of, and our relationships with, these affiliates of Blum Capital Partners, you should read the information under the headings titled “Principal and Selling Stockholders” and “Related Party Transactions.”

Delaware law and provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and restated by-laws contain provisions that could delay, deter or prevent a change of control.

The anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law impose various impediments to the ability of a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. We are currently subject to these Delaware anti-takeover provisions. Additionally, our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated by-laws contain provisions that might enable our management to resist a proposed takeover of our company. These provisions could discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or an acquisition of our company at a price that our stockholders may find attractive. These provisions also may discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. The existence of these provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. The provisions include:

•

advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations; and

•

the authority of our board to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with such terms as our board may determine.

For additional information regarding these provisions, you should read the information under the headings titled “Description of Capital Stock—Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated By-Laws” and “—Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute.”

You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution because the net tangible book value of shares purchased in the offering will be substantially lower than the initial public offering price.

The net tangible book value per share of our common stock, adjusted to reflect the net proceeds we receive from the offering, will be substantially below the initial public offering price. You therefore will incur immediate and substantial dilution of $28.53 per share. In addition, as of May 31, 2004, we had options outstanding to acquire 6,887,698 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $5.77 per share and stock units under our deferred compensation plan with 3,129,279 underlying shares of our common stock. To the extent these securities are exercised or otherwise issued, you will incur further dilution. As a result, if we are liquidated, you may not receive the full amount of your investment. See the information under the heading titled “Dilution” for a more complete description of the dilution you will incur.

A portion of the net proceeds of this offering will be received by affiliates of, and some of the selling stockholders are affiliates of, one of our underwriters. This may present a conflict of interest.

Affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, one of the representatives of the underwriters for the offering, own approximately $34.8 million in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes due 2011, all of which we expect to redeem with the net proceeds we receive from the offering. In connection with the redemption, they also will receive a premium payment of approximately $3.4 million, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the redemption date. Affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC also are the lenders with respect to 3.71% of the term loan under our amended and restated credit agreement. We intend to prepay $16.9 million in principal amount of the term loan with a portion of the net proceeds we receive from the offering.

In addition, affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC are selling stockholders in the offering. As of May 31, 2004, these affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC were the beneficial owners of 1,990,790 shares, or approximately 3.3% of our outstanding common stock. These affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC are selling 562,212 shares (or 686,586 shares if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) in the offering, and will receive net proceeds of approximately $10.0 million (or approximately $12.3 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). After the offering, these affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC will beneficially own 2.1% of our common stock (or 1.9% if the underwriters exercise their over- allotment option in full). See the information under the heading titled “Principal and Selling Stockholders” for a more complete description of these affiliates’ ownership of our common stock.

These affiliations may present a conflict of interest since Credit Suisse First Boston LLC may have an interest in the successful completion of the offering in addition to the underwriting discounts and commissions it would receive. This offering is therefore being made using a “qualified independent underwriter” in compliance with Rule 2710(h) of the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., which is intended to address potential conflicts of interest involving underwriters. See the information under the heading “Underwriting” for a more detailed description of the independent underwriting procedures that are being used in connection with the offering.

Your ability to recover from our former auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP, for any potential financial misstatements is limited.

On April 23, 2002, at the recommendation of our audit committee, we dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent public accountants and engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent public accountants for fiscal year 2002. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and the audited consolidated financial statements of CB Richard Ellis Services for the period from January 1, 2001 through July 20, 2001, which are included in this prospectus, have been audited by Arthur Andersen, our former independent public accountants, as set forth in their report, but Arthur Andersen has not consented to our use of their report in this prospectus.

Arthur Andersen completed its audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 and issued its report relating to these consolidated financial statements on February 26, 2002. Subsequently, Arthur Andersen was convicted of obstruction of justice for the activities relating to its previous work for another of its audit clients and has ceased to audit publicly-held companies. We are unable to predict the impact of this conviction or whether other adverse actions may be taken by governmental or private entities against Arthur Andersen. If Arthur Andersen has no assets available for creditors, you may not be able to recover against Arthur Andersen for any claims you may have under securities or other laws as a result of Arthur Andersen’s previous role as our independent public accountants and as author of the audit report for some of the audited financial statements included in this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the sale of the 7,726,764 shares of common stock offered by us will be approximately $135.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares to be sold by the selling stockholders.

The primary purposes of the offering are to create a public market for our common stock, obtain additional equity capital and facilitate future access to public markets. We expect to use our net proceeds from the offering to redeem the remaining $38.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes due 2011 and $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9³/4% senior notes due 2010 and to prepay $16.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the term loan under our amended and restated credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities currently would limit our ability to complete such redemptions or prepayment. We have entered into an amendment to such agreement that will be effective upon the completion of the offering and, among other things, will permit such redemptions and prepayment to be completed.

In addition to repayment of the outstanding $38.3 million principal amount, the redemption of the 16% senior notes will require payment of a $3.7 million premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption. Affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, one of the representatives of the underwriters of the offering, hold a substantial majority of the outstanding 16% senior notes and, as a result, will receive a payment of approximately $38.2 million, representing principal and premium, in connection with the redemption of their notes, together with accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption. The redemption of $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount or our 9³/4% senior notes due 2010 will require payment of a $6.8 million premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption. The prepayment of $16.9 million in principal amount of our term loan also will require payment of any accrued but unpaid interest through the date of prepayment. Affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC are the lenders with respect to 3.71% of this term loan.

Our 9³/4% senior notes due 2010 were issued by our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, CBRE Escrow, Inc., on May 22, 2003, with the proceeds from the offering of these notes being placed in escrow pending our acquisition of Insignia. On July 23, 2003, CBRE Escrow merged into our direct, wholly owned subsidiary CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc., and the net proceeds from the offering were released from escrow and used to partially finance our acquisition of Insignia.

The term loan that we will partially prepay with net proceeds we receive from the offering will be a portion of the term loan under our current amended and restated credit agreement, which will be refinanced in connection with the completion of the offering. Pursuant to the terms of the new amended and restated credit agreement that will become effective with such refinancing, the term loan will bear interest at varying rates based, at our option, at either LIBOR plus 2.25% to 2.50% or the alternate base rate plus 1.25% to 1.50% (in each case determined by reference to the credit rating assigned to the term facility by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s). The alternate base rate is the higher of (1) Credit Suisse First Boston’s prime rate or (2) the effective rate for federal funds plus 0.50%. A portion of the outstanding term loan under our current amended and restated credit agreement was borrowed during the past year in order to finance partially our acquisition of Insignia on July 23, 2003 and for other general corporate purposes.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on any class of our common stock since our inception on February 20, 2001, and we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance future growth. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors the board of directors deems relevant. In addition, our ability to declare and pay cash dividends after the offering will be restricted by the amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures relating to our 9³/4% senior notes due 2010 and our 11¹/4% senior subordinated notes due 2011. As a result, you will need to sell your shares of common stock to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.

CAPITALIZATION

(1)	The amount shown for our actual capitalization is net of unamortized discount of $2.6 million associated with the issuance of our 16% senior notes dues 2011.

(2)

As of March 31, 2004, there was $13.3 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility and an aggregate of $12.6 million of letters of credit drawn under our revolving credit facility, which reduces the amount we may borrow under our revolving credit facility. Borrowings of up to $90.0 million are available at any one time for general corporate purposes under our revolving credit facility. In addition, we expect that our new amended and restated credit agreement, as will be effective following the offering, will include an incremental revolving credit facility of $60.0 million.

(3)	Includes current portion of $10.0 million due and payable on or prior to March 31, 2005. Our new amended and restated credit agreement, as will be effective following the offering, will permit us to increase the term loan by up to $25.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions.

(4)

The amount shown for our actual and as adjusted capitalization is net of unamortized discount of $2.8 million associated with the issuance of our 11¼% senior subordinated notes due 2011. Neither amount shown reflects our purchase of $21.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 11¹/4% senior subordinated notes in the open market during May and June 2004.

(5)	The number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after the offering excludes as of March 31, 2003:

•

6,928,406 additional shares available for future issuance under our 2004 stock incentive plan that we expect to adopt prior to the completion of the offering.

(6)

The number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on an as adjusted basis includes 304,634 shares that will be issued by us in connection with the automatic “cashless exercise” of outstanding warrants to acquire 708,019 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.825 per share in connection with the offering. For additional information regarding these warrants, including the “cashless exercise” terms, you should read the description of these warrants under the heading “Description of Capital Stock—Warrants.”

(7)	The number of authorized shares of Class B common stock after the offering assumes the filing and effectiveness of an amendment and restatement of our certificate of incorporation immediately after the completion of the offering.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after the offering. Dilution results from the fact that the per share offering price of the common stock is in excess of the book value per share attributable to the existing stockholders for the presently outstanding common stock

Our net tangible book deficit as of March 31, 2004 was $761.3 million, or $12.57 per share of Class A and Class B common stock. Net tangible book deficit per share before the offering is equal to the total book value of tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2004, which number of shares is adjusted to reflect the 3-for-1 split of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock on May 4, 2004, and a 1-for-1.0825 reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock on June 7, 2004. After giving effect to the sale of 7,726,764 shares of our common stock in the offering and the automatic “cashless exercise” of warrants in connection with the offering, in each case after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and giving effect to the other transactions described under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” the pro forma net tangible book deficit as of March 31, 2004 would have been $653.6 million, or $9.53 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share of $3.04 to existing stockholders and dilution in net tangible book value per share of $28.53 to new investors purchasing shares in the offering. The following table summarizes this per share dilution:


Initial public offering price per share				$	19.00
Net tangible book deficit per share as of March 31, 2004	$	(12.57	)
Decrease in pro forma net tangible book deficit per share attributable to the offering		3.04

Pro forma net tangible book deficit per share after the offering					(9.53	)

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors				$	28.53

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis as of May 31, 2004, the differences between our existing stockholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock issued by us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses:


	Shares Purchased			Total Consideration				Average Price Per Share
	Number	Percent		Amount		Percent		Average Price Per Share
	(In thousands)			(In thousands)
Existing stockholders	60,887	88.7	%	$	357,226	70.9	%	$	5.87
New investors (1)	7,727	11.3			146,809	29.1			19.00

Total	68,614	100.0	%	$	504,035	100.0	%

(1)

The 24,000,000 shares to be sold in the offering include 16,273,236 shares to be sold by existing stockholders. In addition, the underwriters have an option to purchase 3,600,000 additional shares from existing stockholders to cover over-allotments of shares.

As of May 31, 2004, there were an aggregate of (1) 6,887,698 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under our 2001 stock incentive plan at a weighted average exercise price of $5.77 per share, of which options to purchase 1,620,540 shares were then exercisable; and (2) 3,129,279 shares underlying outstanding stock fund units under our deferred compensation plan, which shares are issuable

Index to Financial Statements

in connection with future distributions under the plan pursuant to the elections made by participants or distributions made by us, of which stock fund units with 1,948,133 underlying shares were then vested. In connection with the completion of the offering, our 2001 stock incentive plan will terminate and our 2004 stock incentive plan will become effective, which new plan will have 6,928,406 shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to awards made under the plan.

The following table adjusts the information set forth in the table above to reflect the assumed exercise of options and the distribution of shares underlying stock fund units, in each case outstanding as of May 31, 2004, that are described in the preceding paragraph:


	Shares Purchased			Total Consideration				Average Price Per Share
	Number	Percent		Amount		Percent		Average Price Per Share
	(In thousands)			(In thousands)
Existing stockholders (1)	60,887	77.4	%	$	357,226	63.6	%	$	5.87
Option holders	6,888	8.8			39,742	7.1			5.77
Stock fund unit holders	3,129	4.0			18,056	3.2			5.77
New investors	7,727	9.8			146,809	26.1			19.00

Total	78,631	100.0	%	$	561,833	100.0	%

(1)

Assuming the exercise of the foregoing outstanding options and the distribution of shares underlying the foregoing stock fund units, dilution to new investors in net tangible book value per share would be $27.31.

The following pro forma statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 and for the year ended December 31, 2003 do not reflect the $15.0 million of compensation expense described in the immediately preceding paragraph because it is a nonrecurring expense.

All pro forma adjustments with respect to the Insignia acquisition and related transactions are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions and are subject to revision upon finalization of purchase accounting. Once we finalize the required purchase price allocations in connection with the Insignia acquisition and related transactions, the unaudited pro forma financial information will be subject to adjustment and there can be no assurance that such adjustments will not be material.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to the following:

•

the refinancings of all outstanding borrowings under our amended and restated credit agreement on either October 14, 2003 or the date of the completion of the offering; and

•

the open market purchases by us of $21.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 11¹/4% senior subordinated notes in May and June 2004, and the payment of premiums of $3.1 million in connection with such purchases.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003

(a)

Reflects the elimination of the historical results of the real estate investment assets that were sold by Insignia to Island Fund immediately prior to the closing of the Insignia acquisition. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations, these dispositions were assumed to have occurred prior to January 1, 2003.

(b)

This adjustment mainly relates to the $6.6 million estimated fair value of the broker draw asset acquired in the Insignia acquisition. Based on our management’s estimates, we generally derive benefit from brokers participating in our draw program over two years. Accordingly, we estimate that we will derive benefit from the broker draw asset related to Insignia’s brokers over two years from the date of the Insignia acquisition and we will amortize it on a straight-line basis, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the broker draw asset are consumed, during that period. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations, the Insignia acquisition is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2003. Accordingly, the adjustment for pro forma broker draw expense represents three months of amortization expense of the broker draw asset acquired. Additionally, the adjustment includes incremental pro forma deferred rent expense resulting from the recalculation of deferred rent expense from the Insignia acquisition, assumed to have closed on January 1, 2003 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.

(c)

Represents reversal of legal fees incurred by Insignia related to the Insignia acquisition. Per Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X, pro forma combined statements of operations are required to disclose income (loss) from continuing operations before nonrecurring charges or credits directly attributable to the transaction. Accordingly, this adjustment removes such charges from the pro forma statement of operations.

(d)	Represents a reduction to depreciation expense as a result of fair value adjustments to property and equipment.

(e)

Represents an adjustment to amortization expense resulting from the recalculation of amortization expense relating to intangible assets acquired in the Insignia acquisition. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations, the Insignia acquisition is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2003. The largest intangible asset acquired in the Insignia acquisition relates to net revenue backlog. The net revenue backlog consists of net commissions receivable on Insignia’s revenue producing transactions, which were at various stages of completion prior to the Insignia acquisition, for which Insignia recognized no revenue. The net revenue backlog is amortized as cash is received or upon final closing of these pending transactions, a large portion of which is expected to occur within twelve months after the date of the Insignia acquisition. The pro forma amortization adjustment can be summarized as follows (in thousands):

This adjustment mainly relates to the $6.6 million estimated fair value of the broker draw asset acquired in the Insignia acquisition. Based on management’s estimates, we generally derive benefit from brokers participating in our draw program over two years.

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations, the Insignia acquisition is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2003. Accordingly, the adjustment for pro forma broker draw expense represents twelve months of amortization expense of the broker draw asset acquired. Additionally, the adjustment includes incremental pro forma deferred rent expense resulting from the recalculation of deferred rent expense from the Insignia acquisition, assumed to have closed on January 1, 2003 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the information included under the headings titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information” and “Selected Historical Financial Data” and the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

When you read our financial statements and the information included in this section, you should consider that we have experienced, and continue to experience, several material trends and uncertainties that have affected our financial condition and results of operations and make it challenging to predict our future performance based on our historical results. We believe that the following material trends and uncertainties are most crucial to an understanding of the variability in our historical earnings and cash flows and the potential for such variances in the future:

Macroeconomic Conditions

Our operations are directly affected by actual and perceived trends in various national and economic conditions that affect global and regional markets for commercial real estate services, including interest rates, the availability of credit to finance commercial real estate transactions and the impact of tax laws affecting real estate. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates, a declining demand for real estate or the public perception that any of these events may occur, can harm many of our business lines. These economic conditions could result in a general decline in rents, which in turn would reduce revenue from property management fees and brokerage commissions derived from property sales and leases. In addition, these conditions could lead to a decline in sales prices as well as a decline in funds invested in commercial real estate and related assets. An economic downturn or a significant increase in interest rates also may reduce the amount of loan originations and related servicing by our commercial mortgage banking business. If our brokerage and mortgage banking businesses are negatively impacted, it is likely that our other lines of business would also suffer due to the relationship among our various business lines.

During 2002 and 2001, we were adversely affected by the slowdown in the U.S. economy, which negatively impacted the commercial real estate market generally. This caused a decline in our leasing activities within the United States. Moreover, in part because of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the subsequent conflict with Iraq, the economic climate in the United States became very uncertain, which had an adverse effect on commercial real estate market conditions and, in turn, our operating results for 2002 and 2001. During 2003, economic conditions in the United States improved, which positively impacted the commercial real estate market generally. This caused an improvement in our Americas segment’s sales and leasing activities. We expect this trend to continue in the near term.

Index to Financial Statements

Our management team primarily addresses adverse changes in economic conditions through our compensation structure. Compensation is one of our largest expenses, and the sales and leasing professionals in our largest line of business, advisory services, generally are paid on a commission and bonus basis that correlates with our revenue performance. As a result, the negative effect on our operating margins during difficult market conditions is partially mitigated. In addition, in circumstances when economic conditions are particularly severe, our management also has sought to improve operational performance through cost reduction programs. For example, as economic conditions worsened in 2001, our management team made targeted reductions in our workforce, reduced senior management bonuses, streamlined general and administrative operations and cut capital expenditures and other discretionary operating expenses. After our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, our management also instituted a “best practices” program branded “People, Platform & Performance” in order to implement and encourage new business practices that would result in lower operating expenses and enhance revenue and margin growth. We believe this program significantly contributed to the $18.7 million reduction in our operating expenses during 2002 as compared to 2001. Notwithstanding these approaches, adverse global and regional economic changes remain one of the most significant risks to our future financial condition and results of operations.

Effects of Prior Acquisitions

Although we do not currently have any specific acquisition plans, our management historically has made significant use of strategic acquisitions to add new service competencies, to increase our scale within existing competencies and to expand our presence in various geographic regions around the world. For example, we enhanced our mortgage banking services through our 1996 acquisition of L.J. Melody & Company and we significantly increased the scale of our investment management business through our 1995 acquisition of Westmark Realty Advisors and our 1997 acquisition of Koll Real Estate Services. An example of a strategic acquisition that increased our geographic coverage was our 1998 acquisition of Hillier Parker May & Rowden in the United Kingdom. Our largest acquisition to date was our July 23, 2003 acquisition of Insignia Financial Group, which not only significantly increased the scale of our real estate services and outsourcing services business lines in the Americas segment but also significantly increased our presence in the New York, London and Paris metropolitan areas.

Although our management believes that strategic acquisitions can significantly decrease the cost, time and commitment of management resources necessary to attain a meaningful competitive position within targeted markets or to expand our presence within our current markets, our management also believes that most acquisitions will initially have an adverse impact on our operating and net income, both as a result of transaction-related expenses and charges and the costs of integrating the acquired business and its financial and accounting systems into our own. For example, through March 31, 2004, we have incurred approximately $175.0 million of transaction-related expenses in connection with our acquisition of Insignia in 2003 and approximately $87.6 million of transaction-related expenses in connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001. Transaction-related expenses include severance costs, lease termination costs, transaction costs, deferred financing costs and merger-related costs, among others. In addition, through March 31, 2004, we have incurred approximately $19.0 million of costs in connection with the integration of Insignia’s business lines, as well as accounting and other systems, into our own.

International Operations

We have made significant acquisitions of non-U.S. companies and, although we currently have no specific plans to do so, we may acquire additional foreign companies in the future. As we increase our foreign operations through either acquisitions or organic growth, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the other currencies in which we may generate earnings could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Our management team generally seeks to mitigate our exposure by balancing assets and liabilities that are denominated in the same currency and by maintaining cash positions outside the United States only at levels necessary for operating purposes. In addition, from time to time we enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate changes related to particular transactions.

Index to Financial Statements

Our management historically has not generally entered into agreements to hedge the risks associated with the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. On April 6, 2004, we entered into an option agreement to purchase an aggregate notional amount of 8.7 million British pounds sterling, which matures on December 29, 2004. The net impact on our earnings resulting from unrealized gains and/or losses on this option agreement is not expected to be material. Due to the constantly changing currency exposures to which we are subject and the volatility of currency exchange rates, our management cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations.

Our international operations also are subject to, among other things, political instability and changing regulatory environments, which may adversely affect our future financial condition and results of operations.

Our management routinely monitors these risks and costs and evaluates the appropriate amount of resources to allocate towards business activities in foreign countries where such risks and costs are particularly significant. For example, in late 2001 and early 2002 we decided to sell our wholly owned operations in Thailand, the Philippines and India. These operations had highly cyclical financial performance due to continuing economic and political instability in the region. By selling the operations and entering into cross-referral and royalty agreements with the purchasers, we were able to maintain our presence, brand and service capability in those countries while generally eliminating our financial risk. However, these measures have only mitigated our overall exposure to the risks associated with operating outside the United States.

Leverage

We are highly leveraged and have significant debt service obligations. Although our management believes that the incurrence of this long-term indebtedness has been important in the development of our business, including facilitating our acquisition of Insignia Financial Group in 2003, the cash flow necessary to service this debt is not available for other general corporate purposes, which may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in the commercial real estate services industry. Our management seeks to mitigate this exposure both through the refinancing of debt when available on attractive terms and through selective repayment and retirement of indebtedness. For example, we refinanced our senior secured credit facilities in October 2003 to obtain more attractive interest rates and other terms, redeemed $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes in late 2003 and repurchased $21.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 11¹/4% senior subordinated notes in the open market during May and June 2004. In addition, we expect to use the net proceeds we receive from the offering to redeem all $38.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the remaining outstanding 16% senior notes and $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9³/4% senior notes due 2010 and to prepay $16.9 million in principal amount of the term loan under our amended and restated credit agreement. Notwithstanding such activities, our level of indebtedness and the operating and financial restrictions in our debt agreements both place significant constraints on the operation of our business.

Basis of Presentation

Recent Significant Acquisitions and Dispositions

On July 20, 2001, we acquired CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. pursuant to an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 31, 2001, among CB Richard Ellis Group (formerly known as CBRE Holding, Inc.), CB Richard Ellis Services and Blum CB Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of CB Richard Ellis Group. Blum CB was merged with and into CB Richard Ellis Services, with CB Richard Ellis Services being the surviving corporation. At the effective time of such merger, CB Richard Ellis Services became a wholly owned subsidiary of CB Richard Ellis Group.

Our results of operations, including our segment operations and cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2001 have been derived by combining the results of operations and cash flows of CB Richard Ellis Group for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 with the results of operations and cash flows of

Index to Financial Statements

CB Richard Ellis Services, our “predecessor,” from January 1, 2001 to July 20, 2001, the date of the merger. The results of operations and cash flows of our predecessor prior to the merger incorporated in the following discussion are the historical results and cash flows of our predecessor. These results of our predecessor do not reflect any purchase accounting adjustments, which are included in our results subsequent to the merger. Due to the effects of purchase accounting applied as a result of the merger and the additional interest expense associated with the debt incurred to finance the merger, our results of operations may not be comparable in all respects to the results of operations for our predecessor prior to the merger. However, our management believes a discussion of our 2001 operations is more meaningful by combining our results with the results of our predecessor.

On July 23, 2003, pursuant to an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 28, 2003, by and among CB Richard Ellis Services, CB Richard Ellis Group, Apple Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CB Richard Ellis Services, and Insignia Financial Group, Inc., Apple Acquisition was merged with and into Insignia Financial Group. Insignia Financial Group was the surviving corporation in the merger and at the effective time of the merger became a wholly owned subsidiary of CB Richard Ellis Services. Also on July 23, 2003, immediately prior to the completion of the merger, Insignia Financial Group completed the sale of its real estate investment assets to Island Fund I LLC for cash consideration of $36.9 million pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated as of May 28, 2003, among CB Richard Ellis Group, CB Richard Ellis Services, Apple Acquisition, Insignia Financial Group and Island Fund. These real estate investment assets consisted of Insignia Financial Group subsidiaries and joint ventures that held (1) minority investments in office, retail, industrial, apartment and hotel properties, (2) minority investments in office development projects and a related undeveloped parcel of land, (3) wholly owned or consolidated investments in Norman, Oklahoma, New York City and the U.S. Virgin Islands and (4) investments in private equity funds that invest in mortgage-backed debt securities and other real estate-related assets.

Segment Reporting

We report our operations through three geographically organized segments: (1) the Americas, (2) Europe, the Middle East and Africa, or EMEA, and (3) Asia Pacific. The Americas consists of operations located in the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America. EMEA mainly consists of operations in Europe, while Asia Pacific includes operations in Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

In 1998, CB Richard Ellis Services, our predecessor company, expanded internationally through acquisitions. Over the ensuing few years, it was determined that the line of business segments around which the company had previously been organized, were not applicable internationally since those jurisdictions were managed on a geographic basis by country. In order to achieve global consistency, the company decided to segment itself by geographic region starting in the 2001 fiscal year.

that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, our management uses EBITDA as a measure to evaluate the performance of our various business lines and for other discretionary purposes, including as a significant component when measuring our performance under our employee incentive programs.

Our revenue on a consolidated basis increased by $177.3 million, or 67.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The overall increase was primarily driven by our acquisition of Insignia, which resulted

Index to Financial Statements

in higher revenues in our Americas real estate services business line particularly relative to leasing activity in the New York area, combined with increased lease transaction revenue in London and Paris, as well as higher appraisal and consultation fees in the United Kingdom. The increase in revenue was also due to the continued improvement of general economic conditions in the United States, which resulted in higher sales transaction revenue as well as increased lease transaction revenue and management fees, and foreign currency translation, which had a $17.4 million positive impact on total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Our cost of services on a consolidated basis increased by $100.6 million, or 81.4%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. Our sales and leasing professionals generally are paid on a commission and bonus basis, which substantially correlates with our revenue performance. Accordingly, the overall increase was primarily driven by our acquisition of Insignia, which resulted in higher payroll-related costs, including bonus accruals, insurance and benefits, producer retention and broker draw amortization. We paid bonuses to the top advisory services professionals of Insignia that we retained in the acquisition. The producer retention expense represents that amortization of these bonuses, which are being amortized to cost of services over the lives of the related employment agreements. As part of our refinement of the purchase price allocation for the Insignia acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2004, we assigned a $6.6 million fair value to a broker draw asset acquired in the Insignia acquisition. Based on our management’s estimates, we generally derive benefit from brokers participating in our draw program over two years. Accordingly, we estimate that we will derive benefit from the broker draw asset related to Insignia’s brokers over two years from the date of the Insignia acquisition and we will amortize it on a straight-line basis, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the broker draw asset are consumed, during that period. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we have recorded a $2.2 million adjustment for the amortization of this broker draw asset, which includes a $1.4 million adjustment to correct the amortization taken for the period from the date of the Insignia acquisition through December 31, 2003. The producer retention and the broker draw amortization are considered integration costs associated with the Insignia acquisition and together amounted to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase was also due to the overall increase in worldwide sales and lease transaction revenue, as well as foreign currency translation, which had an $8.0 million negative impact on cost of services during the three months ended March 31, 2004. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased from 46.9% in the first quarter of 2003 to 50.8% in the first quarter of 2004 primarily as a result of the producer retention and broker draw amortization recorded in 2004 as well as the new mix of compensation structures as a result of compensation plans adopted in the Insignia acquisition within our Americas segment. However, we expect that the full year 2004 cost of services percentage of revenue will be more comparable to the full year 2003 cost of services percentage of revenue.

Our operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis were $199.3 million, an increase of $73.1 million, or 57.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase was primarily driven by higher costs as a result of the Insignia acquisition, including $1.8 million of integration costs, as well as increased worldwide payroll-related expenses, such as bonuses and insurance and benefits, principally in the Americas and Europe. Higher occupancy expense in the United Kingdom as a result of our relocation to new facilities in the fourth quarter of 2003 also contributed to the increase. Additionally, lower net foreign currency transaction gains contributed to the overall increase over the prior year. Although the U.S. dollar continued to weaken during the quarter, a trend that we have experienced over the past few years, it has weakened at a slower rate, which has reduced this positive offset to total operating expenses versus the prior year. Finally, foreign currency translation had an $8.8 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Our depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis increased by $10.7 million, or 172.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to $7.6 million of amortization expense related to intangibles acquired in the Insignia acquisition, including $6.8 million related to acquired net revenue backlog. As of March 31, 2004, the net book value of the intangible asset representing the remaining net revenue backlog acquired in the Insignia acquisition was $6.6 million, which is expected to be fully amortized by the end of 2004. For additional information, see note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Index to Financial Statements

Our merger-related charges on a consolidated basis were $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. These charges primarily consisted of lease termination costs associated with vacated spaces, consulting costs and severance costs, all of which are attributable to the Insignia acquisition.

Our equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis decreased $0.5 million, or 17.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily due to a one-time gain on the sale of owned units in an investment fund in the prior year.

Our consolidated interest expense was $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $6.4 million, or 44.4%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003, which was primarily due to debt incurred in connection with the Insignia acquisition.

Our benefit for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $8.6 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 706.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The effective tax rate decreased from 44% in the first quarter of 2003 to 34% in first quarter of 2004, primarily as a result of non-taxable gains recognized from our deferred compensation plan during the current quarter compared to non-deductible losses experienced in the first quarter of 2003, coupled with the impact of lower non-deductible interest expense.

Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002

We reported a consolidated net loss of $34.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 on revenue of $1.6 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $18.7 million on revenue of $1.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Our revenue on a consolidated basis increased $459.8 million, or 39.3%, during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was driven by higher revenue as a result of our capturing a larger market share in our Americas real estate services business line through our acquisition of Insignia, particularly leasing activity in the New York area. Additionally, as a result of the improvement of general economic conditions in the United States, we experienced significantly higher sales transaction revenue as well as increased lease transaction revenue and appraisal fees. Internationally, the Insignia acquisition helped us to expand our reach in Europe as evidenced by increased sales and lease transaction revenue, as well as higher consultation and appraisal fees, particularly in London and Paris. We expect that this increased revenue level will be maintained in the near term. Lastly, foreign currency translation had a $54.4 million positive impact on total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2003.

Our cost of services on a consolidated basis totaled $796.4 million, an increase of $249.3 million, or 45.6%, from the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was mainly due to higher commission expense, bonus accruals and producer retention expense as a result of the Insignia acquisition as well as increased worldwide sales and lease transaction revenue. Our sales and leasing professionals are paid on a commission and bonus basis, which generally correlates with our revenue performance. Accordingly, as revenue increases, cost of services will also increase. Additionally, we paid bonuses to the top advisory services professionals of Insignia that we retained in the acquisition. The producer retention expense represents the amortization of these bonuses, which are being amortized to cost of services over the lives of the related employment agreements. The producer retention expense is considered an integration cost associated with the Insignia acquisition and amounted to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Also contributing to the increase in cost of services over the prior year was increased worldwide payroll related costs, including worldwide insurance and pension expense in the United Kingdom, which were mainly driven by increased headcount resulting from the Insignia acquisition. Finally, foreign currency translation had a $23.9 million negative impact on cost of services during the year ended December 31, 2003.

Our operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis were $678.4 million, an increase of $176.6 million, or 35.2 %, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily driven by higher costs as a result of the Insignia acquisition, including $10.9 million of integration costs, as well as increased worldwide bonuses and payroll-related expenses, principally in

Index to Financial Statements

the Americas and Europe. Included in the 2003 bonus amount was an accrual for a one-time performance award of approximately $6.9 million. We expect to pay higher bonuses in 2004 as we will incur a nonrecurring charge of $15.0 million for compensation expenses relating to bonus payments triggered by the offering, which are payable to several of our non-executive real estate services employees as a result of provisions in such employees’ employment agreements. Also contributing to the variance was a legal settlement in the United States in 2003 as well as higher occupancy expense in the United Kingdom as a result of our relocation to a new facility in 2003. Lastly, foreign currency translation had a $23.4 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2003. These increases were partially offset by net foreign currency transaction gains resulting from the weaker U.S. dollar. Over 2003 and 2002, the U.S. dollar has continued to weaken, which has resulted in us recognizing foreign currency transaction gains. Due to the volatility of currency exchange rates, there is no way for us to predict if this trend will continue in the future.

Our depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis increased by $68.0 million, or 276.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002 mainly due to $59.1 million of amortization of the net revenue backlog acquired as part of the Insignia acquisition. As of December 31, 2003, the net book value of the intangible asset representing the remaining net revenue backlog acquired in the Insignia acquisition was $13.4 million, which is expected to be fully amortized by the end of 2004 (see note 8 of our audited consolidated financial statement included elsewhere in this prospectus). The increase over the prior year was also due to a one-time reduction of amortization expense recorded in 2002 related to the adjustment of certain intangible assets to their estimated fair values as of their acquisition date in connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001.

Our equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis increased $5.0 million, or 54.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, primarily due to a one-time gain on sale of owned units in an investment fund. In addition, the trend of improved performance in our other domestic joint ventures continued, but was offset by a decrease in equity income versus the prior year as a result of a one-time disposition fee received in 2002 upon liquidation of one of our U.S. joint ventures in the normal course of business upon completion of the investment strategy set forth in its joint venture agreement.

Our merger-related charges on a consolidated basis were $36.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. These charges primarily consisted of lease termination costs associated with vacated spaces, change of control payments, consulting costs and severance costs, all of which were attributable to the Insignia acquisition.

Our consolidated interest expense was $87.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $26.7 million, or 44.2%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily driven by a one-time $6.8 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees associated with our prior credit facility and $6.6 million of nonrecurring write-offs of unamortized deferred financing fees and unamortized discount, as well as premiums paid, in connection with the $30.0 million of redemptions of our 16% senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2003. Additionally, interest expense was higher in 2003 as a result of the new debt incurred in connection with the Insignia acquisition.

Our benefit for income tax on a consolidated basis was $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to a provision for income tax of $30.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The income tax (benefit) provision and effective tax rate generally were not comparable between periods due to the effects of the Insignia acquisition. Additionally, non-deductible expenses contributed to a lower effective tax benefit rate in 2003 as compared to 2002.

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

We reported consolidated net income of $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 on revenue of $1.2 billion as compared to a consolidated net loss of $16.6 million on revenue of $1.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Index to Financial Statements

Our revenue on a consolidated basis for the year ended December 31, 2002 was comparable to the year ended December 31, 2001. Overall revenue decreased in our Americas segment primarily caused by declines in lease transaction revenue, which were driven by the continued softness in the leasing industry in the United States as a result of general economic uncertainty, combined with a nonrecurring sale of mortgage fund contracts of $5.6 million in 2001. In Asia Pacific, revenue declined mainly due to the sale of our wholly-owned operations in Thailand, the Philippines and India. These decreases were mostly offset by higher worldwide sales transaction revenue driven by investment property sales and higher investment management fees in Japan as result of the expansion of this business in that region. Foreign currency translation had a $10.5 million positive impact on total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Our cost of services on a consolidated basis totaled $547.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $4.3 million, or 0.8%, from the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation of advisory services professionals within our international operations associated with expanded international activities. These increases were partially offset by lower variable commissions, principally in our Americas segment, driven by lower lease transaction revenue. Foreign currency translation had a $4.2 million negative impact on cost of services during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Our operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis were $501.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $15.6 million, or 3.0%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was primarily driven by cost reduction measures and operational efficiencies from programs initiated in May 2001, as well as foreign currency transaction and settlement gains resulting from the weaker U.S. dollar. The trend of foreign currency transaction gains resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar has continued in 2003. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in bonuses and other incentives, primarily within our international operations, due to improved results. Foreign currency translation also had a $4.1 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Our depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis decreased by $13.2 million, or 35.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001 was mainly due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization after our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” or SFAS No. 142, and lower depreciation expense, principally due to lower capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2002. The lower capital expenditures resulted from cost reduction measures initiated in 2001. Our capital expenditures increased in 2003 primarily as a result of our planned relocation to a new facility in the United Kingdom in 2003. The year ended December 31, 2002 also included a one-time reduction of amortization expense of $2.0 million arising from the adjustment of certain intangible assets to their estimated fair values as of July 20, 2001, the date we acquired CB Richard Ellis Services.

Our equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries increased by $4.9 million, or 110.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, primarily due to a $2.2 million nonrecurring disposition fee received upon liquidation of one of our joint ventures in the United States in the normal course of business, upon completion of the investment strategy set forth in its joint venture agreement, as well as the improved performance from several of our other domestic joint ventures. Earnings from these domestic joint ventures continued to increase during 2003 as general economic conditions improved in the United States.

Our merger-related and other nonrecurring charges on a consolidated basis were $28.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. These costs primarily consisted of merger-related charges of $18.3 million, the write-off of assets, primarily e-business investments, of $7.2 million as well as severance costs of $3.1 million related to our cost reduction program initiated in May 2001.

Our consolidated interest expense was $60.5 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 21.0%, over the year ended December 31, 2001. This was primarily attributable to our change in debt structure in connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001.

Index to Financial Statements

Our income tax expense on a consolidated basis was $30.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The income tax provision and effective tax rate were not comparable between periods due to effects of our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001 and the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which resulted in the elimination of the amortization of goodwill. In addition, non-deductible losses associated with our deferred compensation plan contributed to an increased effective tax rate.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2003

The Americas

Revenue increased by $127.2 million, or 63.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily driven by the expansion of our market share in our real estate services business line through our acquisition of Insignia, particularly in leasing activity in the New York area. Additionally, the continued improvement of general economic conditions in the United States led to an increase in the volume of commercial real estate transactions resulting in higher sales transaction revenue as well as increased lease transaction revenue and management fees. Cost of services increased by $78.9 million, or 83.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to higher commission expense, bonus accruals, insurance and benefits, producer retention and broker draw amortization as a result of the Insignia acquisition as well as the higher sales and lease transaction revenue. The producer retention expense, which represents amounts paid to the top advisory services professionals of Insignia that we retained at the time of the acquisition, is being amortized through cost of services over the respective lives of their underlying employment agreements. The broker draw amortization of $2.2 million includes a $1.4 million adjustment to correct the amortization taken for the period from the date of the Insignia acquisition through December 31, 2003. It also reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the broker draw asset acquired in the Insignia acquisition are consumed, the fair value of which was refined during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The remaining net broker draw asset of $4.4 million will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the next sixteen months. Both the producer retention and the broker draw amortization are considered integration costs associated with the Insignia acquisition and together amounted to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased from 47.5% in the first quarter of 2003 to 53.1% in the first quarter of 2004, primarily as a result of the producer retention and broker draw amortization recorded in 2004 as well as the new mix of compensation structures as a result of compensation plans adopted in the Insignia acquisition. However, we expect that the full year 2004 cost of services percentage of revenue for our Americas segment will be more comparable to the full year 2003 cost of services percentage of revenue. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased $46.0 million, or 51.6%, mainly caused by higher costs as a result of the Insignia acquisition, including integration expenses of $1.8 million, as well as increased bonuses and insurance and benefits costs. Additionally, lower net foreign currency transaction gains reduced the positive offset to total operating expenses versus the prior year.

EMEA

Revenue increased by $39.9 million, or 87.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily driven by the Insignia acquisition as evidenced by higher lease transaction revenue in London and Paris, as well as increased appraisal and consultation fees, predominantly in the United Kingdom. Foreign currency translation had an $11.3 million positive impact on total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2004. Cost of services increased $16.7 million, or 85.2%, as a result of higher producer compensation expense as well as increased payroll-related costs, particularly in the United Kingdom and France, primarily driven by the Insignia acquisition. Also included in producer compensation expense were integration costs of $0.6 million, representing amounts paid to the top producers of Insignia in the United Kingdom, which is being amortized over the respective lives of their underlying employment agreements. Foreign currency translation had a $4.6 million negative impact on cost of services during the current quarter. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $25.4 million, or 98.8%, mainly driven by increased costs as a result of the Insignia acquisition, including higher payroll related expenses. Additionally, occupancy expense was higher in the United Kingdom as a result of our relocation to new facilities in the fourth quarter of 2003. Lastly, foreign currency translation had a $6.4 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Asia Pacific

Revenue increased by $10.1 million, or 55.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase was primarily driven by an overall increase in revenue in

Australia and Japan, primarily resulting from our incremental efforts to increase our market share in this region. Foreign currency translation had a $3.8 million positive impact on total revenue during the current quarter. Cost of services increased by $5.1 million, or 55.9%, mainly attributable to increased transaction revenue as well as higher producer compensation expense due to increased headcount in Australia and Japan resulting from our incremental efforts to increase our market share in this region. Foreign currency translation had a $2.1 million negative impact on cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 15.0%, primarily due to higher payroll related costs in Australia and Japan, again attributable to increased headcount. Foreign currency translation had a $1.7 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002

The Americas

Revenue increased by $301.6 million, or 33.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002 primarily driven by the expansion of our market share in our real estate services business line through our acquisition of Insignia, particularly in the leasing industry in the New York area. Additionally, the improvement of general economic conditions in the United States led to an increase in volume of transactions resulting in significantly higher sales transaction revenue as well as increased lease transaction revenue and appraisal fees. Cost of services increased by $170.8 million, or 38.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002 primarily due to higher commission expense, bonus accruals and producer retention expense as a result of the Insignia acquisition as well as the higher sales and lease transaction revenue. The producer retention expense represents bonuses paid to the top advisory services professionals of Insignia that we retained at the time of the acquisition that is being amortized through cost of services over the respective lives of the underlying employment agreements. The producer retention expense is considered an integration cost associated with the Insignia acquisition and amounted to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased $107.0 million, or 29.1%, mainly caused by higher costs as a result of the Insignia acquisition, including integration expenses of $9.1 million, increased bonuses and payroll related costs mainly resulting from improved operating performance, and a nonrecurring legal settlement in the United States. Included in the 2003 bonus was an accrual for a one-time performance award of approximately $6.9 million. These increases were partially offset by net foreign currency transaction gains resulting from the weakened U.S. dollar, a trend that we have experienced in 2003 and 2002.

EMEA

Revenue increased by $131.5 million, or 72.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, primarily driven by increased revenue as a result of the Insignia acquisition as evidenced by higher sales and lease transaction revenue as well as increased consultation and appraisal fees, predominantly in the United Kingdom and France. Foreign currency translation had a $35.5 million positive impact on total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2003. Cost of services increased $65.5 million, or 93.2%, as a result of higher producer compensation expense and bonuses as well as increased payroll-related costs, including insurance expense throughout Europe and pension expense in the United Kingdom, primarily due to the Insignia acquisition. Also included in producer compensation expense for 2003 were integration costs of $1.2 million, representing the amortization of bonuses paid to the top producers of Insignia in the United Kingdom, which is being amortized over the respective lives of the underlying employment agreements. Foreign currency translation had a $15.0 million negative impact on cost of services during the current year. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $61.0 million, or 67.8%, mainly driven by increased costs as a result of the Insignia acquisition, including integration expenses of $1.8 million, as well as higher bonus, payroll related and consulting expenses. Additionally, occupancy expense was higher in the United Kingdom as a result of our relocation to a new facility. Lastly, foreign currency translation had a $16.4 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2003.

Asia Pacific

Revenue increased by $26.8 million, or 29.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily driven by an overall increase in revenue in Australia and New Zealand, primarily resulting from our incremental efforts to increase our market share in the region as well as due to our organic growth. Foreign currency translation had a $13.8 million positive impact on total revenue during the current year. Cost of services increased by $13.0 million, or 34.2%, mainly attributable to increased transaction revenue as well as higher producer compensation expense due to increased headcount in Australia and New Zealand resulting from our incremental efforts to increase our market share in this region. Foreign currency translation had a $6.1 million negative impact on cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2003. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $8.6 million, or 19.4%, primarily due to an increased accrual for long-term incentives as well as higher payroll related costs in Australia and New Zealand. The long-term incentive plan term ended in 2003 with payout of approximately $7.8 million anticipated in early 2004. We anticipate implementing a new long-term incentive plan starting in 2004. Foreign currency translation also had a $5.6 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2003.

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

The Americas

Revenue decreased by $32.7 million, or 3.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, primarily driven by a lower average value per transaction in lease transaction revenue resulting from the continued softness in the leasing industry in the United States combined with a nonrecurring sale of mortgage fund contracts of $5.6 million in 2001. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales transaction revenue, which was driven by a higher number of transactions as well as a higher average value per transaction, primarily due to investment property sales. The improvement in sales transaction revenue continued in 2003. Cost of services decreased by $10.0 million, or 2.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, caused primarily by lower variable commissions commensurate with lower lease transaction revenue. Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased by $21.3 million, or 5.5%, as a result of cost reduction and efficiency measures, the organizational restructuring implemented after our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, and foreign currency transaction and settlement gains resulting from the weaker U.S. dollar. The trend of foreign currency transaction gains resulting from the weakening U.S. dollar continued throughout 2003.

EMEA

Revenue increased by $20.9 million, or 13.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. This was mainly driven by higher sales transaction revenue across Europe as the general economy in this region improved. Foreign currency translation had an $8.9 million positive impact on total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2002. Cost of services increased by $10.0 million, or 16.6%, due to higher producer compensation as a result of increased revenue arising from expanded activities in Europe. Foreign currency translation had a $3.4 million negative impact on cost of services during the year ended December 31, 2002. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $5.3 million, or 6.2%, mainly attributable to higher incentives due to improved results, higher occupancy costs and consulting fees. Foreign currency translation also had a $3.7 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Asia Pacific

Revenue increased by $11.3 million, or 14.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily driven by higher investment management fees in Japan and an increase in overall revenue in Australia and New Zealand due to increased efforts to expand our market share in these locations, partially offset by lower revenues as a result of the sale of our wholly owned

operations in Thailand, the Philippines and India. Foreign currency translation had a $2.8 million positive impact on total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2002. Cost of services increased by $4.3 million, or 12.6%, primarily driven by higher producer compensation expense due to increased personnel in Australia, New Zealand and China, slightly offset by lower commissions due to conversions to affiliate offices elsewhere in Asia. Foreign currency translation had a $1.3 million negative impact on cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2002. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 0.9%, primarily due to increased bonuses as a result of improved results in Australia and New Zealand, partially offset by lower expenses as a result of sales of operations in Asia. Foreign currency translation also had a $1.1 million negative impact on total operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe we can satisfy our working capital requirements and funding of investments with internally generated cash flow and borrowings under the revolving credit facility of our amended and restated credit agreement described below. Included in the capital requirements that we expect to be able to fund are approximately $40 million of anticipated capital expenditures, net of concessions received, during 2004. The capital expenditures for 2004 are primarily composed of information technology costs, which are driven largely by computer replacement costs as well as costs associated with upgrading various servers and systems, and leasehold improvements.

During both 2001 and 2003, we required substantial amounts of new equity and debt financing to fund our acquisitions of CB Richard Ellis Services and Insignia Financial Group. Absent extraordinary transactions such as these, we historically have not needed sources of financing other than our internally generated cash flow and our revolving credit facility to fund our working capital, capital expenditures and investment requirements. As a result, our management anticipates that our cash flow from operations and revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements, including those reflected in the summary of contractual obligations and other commitments table below, for the foreseeable future, but at a minimum for the next twelve months.

Although we currently do not have any specific acquisition plans, our management believes that any future material acquisitions that we make most likely would require us to obtain additional debt or equity financing. In the past, we have been able to obtain such financing for other material transactions on terms that our management believed to be reasonable. However, we may not be able to find acquisition financing on favorable terms in the future, if we decide to make any material acquisitions.

Our current long-term liquidity needs, other than those related to ordinary course obligations and commitments such as operating leases, generally are comprised of two parts. The first is the repayment of the outstanding principal amounts of our long-term indebtedness, including our senior secured term loan in 2008, our 9¾% senior notes in 2010 and our 16% senior notes and 11¼% senior subordinated notes in 2011. We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds we receive from the offering to redeem all of our remaining outstanding 16% senior notes and $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9³/4% senior notes due 2010 and to prepay $16.9 million in principal amount of the term loan under our amended and restated credit agreement. Our management is unable to project with certainty whether our long-term cash flow from operations will be sufficient to repay the other amounts of our long-term debt when it comes due. If this cash flow is insufficient, then our management expects that we would need to refinance such indebtedness or otherwise amend its terms to extend the maturity dates. Our management cannot assure you that such refinancings or amendments, if necessary, would be available on attractive terms, if at all.

The other primary component of our long-term liquidity needs are our obligations related to our deferred compensation plan and our U.K. pension plans. Pursuant to our deferred compensation plan, a select group of our management and other highly-compensated employees have been permitted to defer receipt of some or all of their compensation until future distribution dates and have the deferred amount credited towards specified investment alternatives. Except for deferrals into stock fund units that provide for future issuances of our

Index to Financial Statements

common stock, the deferrals under the deferred compensation plan represent future cash payment obligations for us. We currently have invested in insurance funds for the purpose of funding approximately half of our future cash deferred compensation obligations. In addition, upon each distribution under the plan, we receive a corresponding tax deduction for such compensation payment. Our U.K. subsidiaries maintain pension plans with respect to which a limited number of our U.K. employees are participants. Our historical policy has been to fund pension costs as actuarially determined and as required by applicable law and regulations. As of December 31, 2003, based upon actuarial calculations of future benefit obligations under these plans, these plans were in the aggregate approximately $44.2 million underfunded. Our management expects that any future obligations under our deferred compensation plan and pension plans that are not currently funded will be funded out of our future cash flow from operations.

Historical Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $87.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $16.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The acquisition of Insignia Financial Group on July 2003 has impacted substantially all components of cash used in our operating activities, making comparison against the same period in the prior year not meaningful.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $63.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of $0.9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. The acquisition of Insignia in July 2003

Index to Financial Statements

has impacted substantially all components of cash provided by our operating activities making comparison against the prior year not meaningful.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $64.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $93.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to our improved 2002 earnings, as well as lower payments made in the year ended December 31, 2002 for 2001 bonus and profit sharing as compared to the 2000 bonus and profit sharing payments made in the year ended December 31, 2001.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $16.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to costs incurred in 2004 associated with the Insignia acquisition. Capital expenditures, net of concessions received, of $10.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $6.4 million higher than during the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to integration costs related to leasehold improvements in new and combined offices.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $284.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $260.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to costs incurred in 2003 associated with the Insignia acquisition. Capital expenditures, net of concessions received, of $27.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2003 were $12.7 million higher than 2002. This increase was mainly driven by net capital expenditures incurred in connection with our relocation to new offices in the United Kingdom in 2003.

We utilized $24.1 million in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $249.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was primarily due to the prior year payment of the purchase price and related expenses associated with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in July 2001. Capital expenditures, net of concessions received, of $14.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2002 were $7.0 million lower than 2001, driven primarily by efforts to reduce spending and improve cash flows.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the repayment of the Euro cash pool loan in 2004.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $303.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $17.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was mainly attributable to the additional net debt and equity financing resulting from the Insignia acquisition.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $17.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $340.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was mainly attributable to the debt and equity financing required for our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001.

Indebtedness

Our substantial level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay when due the principal of, interest on or other amounts due in respect of our indebtedness. In

Index to Financial Statements

addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. However, we currently do not have any specific acquisition plans. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our substantial leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase. For additional information regarding the terms of certain of our long-term indebtedness, see the information under the heading titled “Description of Certain Long-Term Indebtedness.”

Most of our long-term indebtedness was incurred in connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in July 2001 and our acquisition of Insignia. The CB Richard Ellis Services acquisition, which was a going private transaction involving members of our senior management, affiliates of Blum Capital Partners and Freeman Spogli & Co. and some of our other existing stockholders, was undertaken so that we could take advantage of growth opportunities and focus on improvements in the CB Richard Ellis Services businesses. The Insignia acquisition increased the scale of our real estate services and outsourcing services businesses as well as significantly increasing our presence in the New York, London and Paris metropolitan areas.

In order to partially fund our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, we entered into a credit agreement with Credit Suisse First Boston, or CSFB, and other lenders and borrowed $235.0 million of term loans on July 20, 2001. To partially fund our acquisition of Insignia Financial Group in 2003, we amended and restated this credit agreement and borrowed an aggregate of an additional $75.0 million of term loan on July 23, 2003. On October 14, 2003, we refinanced all of the outstanding loans under our amended and restated credit agreement and entered into a new amended and restated credit agreement. On April 23, 2004, we entered into an amendment to the current amended and restated credit agreement that includes a waiver generally permitting us to prepay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire up to $30.0 million of our existing indebtedness and provides for the refinancing of all outstanding amounts under our current credit agreement and the amendment and restatement of our credit agreement upon the completion of the offering. The new amended and restated credit agreement generally will permit us, among other things, to use the net proceeds we receive from the offering in the manner described in this prospectus, including the redemption of all $38.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes due 2011 and $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9³/4% senior notes due 2010 and the prepayment of $16.9 million in principal amount of term loan under our amended and restated credit agreement. The new amended and restated credit agreement also will include the following: (1) a term loan facility of $295.0 million, requiring quarterly principal payments of $2.95 million through December 31, 2009 with the balance payable on March 31, 2010; and (2) a $90.0 million revolving credit facility, including revolving credit loans, letters of credit and a swingline loan facility, maturing on July 20, 2007. We expect that the new amended and restated credit agreement also will include an incremental revolving facility of $60.0 million that will mature on March 31, 2009. The new amended and restated credit agreement also will permit us to increase the term facility by up to $25.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. The $90.0 million revolving credit facility requires the repayment of any outstanding balance for a period of 45 consecutive days commencing on any day in the month of December of each year as determined by us. We repaid our revolving credit facility as of July 23, 2003 and November 5, 2002, and at December 31, 2003 and 2002, we had no outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2004, however, we had $13.3 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest at varying rates based, at our option, at either LIBOR plus 2.25% to 2.50% or the alternate base rate plus 1.25% to 1.50%, in both cases as determined by reference to the credit rating assigned to the term facility by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s. The potential increase of up to $25.0 million for the term loan facility would bear interest either at the same rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence or, in some circumstances described in the new amended and restated credit agreement, at a higher or lower rate. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at varying rates based on our option, at either the applicable LIBOR plus 3.00% to 3.75% or the alternate base rate plus 2.00% to 2.75%, in both cases as determined by reference to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA. We expect the $60.0 million incremental revolving credit facility to bear interest at varying rates based, at our option, at either LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.50% or the alternative base rate plus 1.00% to 1.50%, in both cases as determined by references to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA. The alternate

Index to Financial Statements

base rate is the higher of (1) CSFB’s prime rate or (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one-half of one percent. In addition, we are required to pay a revolving credit facility fee based on the total amount of the unused commitment, including the $60.0 million incremental revolving credit facility. The borrowings under the amended and restated credit agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets. The total amount outstanding under the term loan facility included in senior secured term loans and current maturities of long-term debt in the our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus was $295.0 million and $297.5 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds we receive from the offering to prepay $16.9 million in principal amount of the term loan under our amended and restated credit agreement.

On May 22, 2003, CBRE Escrow, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CB Richard Ellis Services, issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9¾% senior notes due May 15, 2010. The proceeds of this issuance were placed in escrow pending the completion of the Insignia acquisition on July 23, 2003, on which date the proceeds were released from escrow in order to partially fund the acquisition, CBRE Escrow merged with and into CB Richard Ellis Services and CB Richard Ellis Services assumed all obligations with respect to the 9¾% senior notes. The 9¾% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CB Richard Ellis Services, senior to all of its current and future unsecured indebtedness, but subordinated to all of CB Richard Ellis Services’ current and future secured indebtedness. The 9¾% senior notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Interest accrues at a rate of 9¾% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. The 9¾% senior notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, on or after May 15, 2007 at 104.875% of par on that date and at declining prices thereafter. In addition, before May 15, 2006, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the originally issued amount of the 9¾% senior notes at 109¾% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, solely with the net cash proceeds from public equity offerings. In the event of a change of control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase the 9¾% senior notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the 9¾% senior notes included in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus was $200.0 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds we receive from the offering to redeem $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9¾% senior notes due 2010, which also will require payment of a $6.8 million premium and accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption.

In order to partially finance our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, Blum CB Corp. issued $229.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11¼% senior subordinated notes due June 15, 2011 for approximately $225.6 million, net of discount, on June 7, 2001. CB Richard Ellis Services assumed all obligations with respect to the 11¼% senior subordinated notes in connection with the merger of Blum CB with and into CB Richard Ellis Services on July 20, 2001. The 11¼% senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. The 11¼% senior subordinated notes require semi-annual payments of interest in arrears on June 15 and December 15 and are redeemable in whole or in part on or after June 15, 2006 at 105.625% of par on that date and at declining prices thereafter. In addition, before June 15, 2004, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the originally issued amount of the notes at 111¼% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, solely with the net cash proceeds from public equity offerings. In the event of a change of control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase the 11¼% senior subordinated notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the 11¹/4% senior subordinated notes included in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus, net of unamortized discount, was $226.2 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. In May and June 2004, we purchased $21.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 11¹/4% senior subordinated notes in the open market. We paid $3.1 million of premiums in connection with these purchases.

Also to partially fund our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, we issued $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 16% senior notes due July 20, 2011. The 16% senior notes are unsecured obligations, senior to all of our current and future unsecured indebtedness, but subordinated to all of our current and future secured indebtedness. Interest accrues at a rate of 16.0% per year and is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest may be paid in kind to the extent our ability to pay cash dividends is restricted by the terms of our amended and restated credit agreement. Additionally, interest in excess of 12.0% may, at our option, be paid in kind through July 2006. We elected to pay in kind the interest in excess of 12.0% that was payable on April 20, 2002, July 20, 2002, October 20, 2002, January 20, 2003 and April 20, 2003.

In the event of a change in control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase all of our outstanding 16% senior notes at 101.0% of par. In addition, under the terms of the indenture governing the 16% senior notes, the notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at 116.0% of par commencing on July 20, 2001 and at declining prices thereafter. On October 27, 2003 and December 29, 2003, we redeemed $20.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes pursuant to these exceptions. We paid $2.9 million of premiums in connection with these redemptions.

The amount of the 16% senior notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus, net of unamortized discount, was $35.8 and $35.5 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds we receive from the offering to redeem the remaining $38.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes, which also will require payment of a $3.7 million premium and accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption.

Our amended and restated credit agreement and the indentures governing our 16% senior notes, our 9¾% senior notes and our 11¼% senior subordinated notes each contain numerous restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions to stockholders, repurchase capital stock or debt, make investments, sell assets or subsidiary stock, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale/leaseback transactions, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers. Our amended and restated credit agreement also currently requires us to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of interest and certain fixed charges and a maximum leverage and senior secured leverage ratio of EBITDA to funded debt.

From time to time, Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s Ratings Service rate our outstanding senior secured term loan, our 9³/4% senior notes and our 11¹/4% senior subordinated notes. Although neither the Moody’s nor the Standard and Poor’s ratings impact our ability to borrow, they may affect the applicable interest rate for our senior secured term loan. In addition, these ratings may impact our ability to borrow under new agreements in the future and the interest rates of any such future borrowings.

During 2001, a joint venture that we consolidated incurred $37.2 million of non-recourse debt to acquire a real estate investment in Japan. The debt is secured by a mortgage on the acquired real estate asset. During the third quarter of 2003, the maturity date on this debt was extended to July 31, 2008. In our accompanying consolidated balance sheets, this debt comprised $42.6 million and $41.8 million of our other long-term debt as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2003, this joint venture incurred an additional $1.9 million of non-recourse mortgage debt with a maturity date of June 15, 2004. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, $2.0 million of this non-recourse debt is included in short-term borrowings in our consolidated balance sheet included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, L.J. Melody & Company, has a credit agreement with Residential Funding Corporation, or RFC, for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold. The agreement provides for a revolving warehouse line of credit of up to $200.0 million, bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% and expires on August 31, 2004 and all outstanding borrowings will be due unless it is extended. On June 25, 2003, the agreement was modified to provide a temporary revolving line of credit increase of $200.0 million that resulted in a total line of credit equaling $400.0 million, which expired on August 30, 2003. By amendment on November 14, 2003, the agreement was modified to provide a revolving line of credit increase of $50.0 million

Index to Financial Statements

that resulted in a total line of credit equaling $250.0 million, which expires on August 31, 2004. On May 12, 2004, the agreement was modified to provide a temporary revolving line of credit increase of $100.0 million that will result in a total line of credit equaling $350.0 million. This increase will be effective on May 30, 2004 and expire 90 days after the effective date. We have a long-term business relationship with RFC and have entered into a number of amendments to the line of credit since its inception. Accordingly, we expect that we will reach a satisfactory amendment to extend the term of the agreement prior to its expiration on August 31, 2004. However, if we are unable to do so, the business and results of operations of our mortgage loan origination and servicing line of business may be adversely affected. During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively, we had a maximum of $230.8 million and $272.5 million revolving line of credit principal outstanding with RFC. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, we had a $72.7 million and a $230.8 million warehouse line of credit outstanding, which are included in short-term borrowings in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus. Additionally, we had a $72.7 million and a $230.8 million warehouse receivable representing mortgage loans funded through the line of credit that had not been purchased as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, which are also included in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus.

L.J. Melody & Company also has a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase. The credit agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $20.0 million, bears interest at 1.0% in excess of the bank’s cost of funds and expires on May 28, 2004. L.J. Melody uses this credit line from time to time to fund short-term investments in governmental and quasi-governmental instruments. Any such investments acquired by L.J. Melody are pledged as collateral for outstanding borrowings under the credit line. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, no amounts were outstanding under this line of credit.

In connection with our acquisition of Westmark Realty Advisors in 1995, which significantly expanded our investment management services business, we issued approximately $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The Westmark senior notes are secured by letters of credit equal to approximately 50% of the outstanding balance at December 31, 2003. The Westmark senior notes are redeemable at the discretion of the note holders and have final maturity dates of June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2002, all of the Westmark senior notes bore interest at 9.0%. On January 1, 2003, the interest rate on some of these notes was converted to varying rates equal to the interest rate in effect with respect to amounts outstanding under our credit agreement. On January 1, 2005, the interest rate on all of the other Westmark senior notes will be adjusted to equal the interest rate then in effect with respect to amounts outstanding under our credit agreement. The amount of the Westmark senior notes included in short-term borrowings in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus was $12.1 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Insignia, which we acquired in July 2003, issued loan notes as partial consideration for previous acquisitions of businesses in the United Kingdom, which was part of Insignia’s business strategy of increasing its presence in that country. The acquisition loan notes are payable to the sellers of the previously acquired U.K. businesses and are secured by restricted cash deposits in approximately the same amount. The acquisition loan notes are redeemable semi-annually at the discretion of the note holder and have a final maturity date of April 2010. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, $12.6 million and $12.2 million, respectively, of the acquisition loan notes were outstanding, which are included in short-term borrowings in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus.

A significant number of our subsidiaries in Europe have had a Euro cash pool loan since 2001, which is used to fund their short-term liquidity needs. The Euro cash pool loan is an overdraft line for our European operations issued by HSBC Bank. The Euro cash pool loan has no stated maturity date and bears interest at varying rates based on a base rate as defined by the bank plus 2.5%. The amount of the Euro cash pool loan included in short-term borrowings in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus was $11.5 million as of December 31, 2003. At March 31, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under the Euro cash pool.

Deferred Compensation Plan Obligations

Each participant in our deferred compensation plan, or DCP, is allowed to defer a portion of his or her compensation for distribution generally either after his or her employment with us ends or on a future date at least three years after the deferral election date. The investment alternatives available to participants include two interest index funds and an insurance fund in which gains and losses on deferrals are measured by one or more of approximately 30 mutual funds. In addition, prior to our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, participants were entitled to invest their deferrals in stock fund units that allowed them to receive future distributions of shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock. As of May 31, 2004, there were 3,129,279 shares underlying outstanding stock fund units under the DCP, 1,948,133 of which had vested. Shares are issuable in connection with future distributions under the plan pursuant to the elections made by plan participants or distributions made by us. Except for the stock funds units, all deferrals under the DCP represent obligations to make future cash payments. The deferred compensation liability in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus was $145.0 million and $138.0 million at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2004, we closed the DCP to new participants. Currently, the DCP is accepting compensation deferrals from participants who have a balance, meet the eligibility requirements and elect to participate, up to a maximum annual contribution amount of $250,000 per participant. As permitted by its terms, we expect to terminate the DCP shortly after the offering is completed and adopt a new deferred compensation plan. The existing deferrals under the interest index funds and the insurance fund in the DCP will be paid to participants in the future according to their existing deferral elections under the plan. With respect to existing deferrals in stock fund units, we expect that substantially all of the shares of common stock underlying such units will be distributed to participants in distributions initiated by us during October of 2004.

Because a substantial majority of the deferrals under the DCP have a distribution date based upon the end of the relevant participant’s employment with us, we have an ongoing obligation to make distributions to these participants as they leave our employment. As the level of employee departures is not predictable, the timing of these obligations also is not predictable. Accordingly, we may face significant unexpected cash funding obligations in the future if a larger number of our employees leave our employment than we expect.

Pension Liability

Our subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom maintain two defined benefit pension plans to provide retirement benefits to existing and former employees participating in the plans. With respect to these plans, our historical policy has been to contribute annually an amount to fund pension cost as actuarially determined by an independent pension consulting firm and as required by applicable laws and regulations. Our contributions to these plans are invested and, if these investments do not perform in the future as well as we expect, we will be required to provide additional funding to cover the shortfall. The pension liability in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus was $38.9 million and $36.0 million at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Other Obligations and Commitments

In connection with the sale of real estate investment assets by Insignia to Island Fund I LLC on July 23, 2003, Insignia agreed to maintain letter of credit support for real estate investment assets that were subject to the purchase agreement until the earlier of (1) the third anniversary of the completion of the sale, (2) the date on which the letter of credit is no longer required pursuant to the applicable real estate investment asset agreement or (3) the completion of a sale of the relevant underlying real estate investment asset. As of March 31, 2004, an aggregate of approximately $10.2 million of this letter of credit support remained outstanding under the purchase agreement. Also in connection with the sale, Insignia agreed to maintain a $1.3 million guarantee of a repayment obligation with respect to one of the real estate investment assets. Island Fund agreed to reimburse us for 50% of any draws against these letters of credit or the repayment guarantee while they are outstanding and delivered a

Index to Financial Statements

letter of credit to us in the amount of approximately $2.9 million as security for Island Fund’s reimbursement obligation. As a result of this reimbursement obligation, we effectively retain potential liability for 50% of any future draws against these letters of credit and the repayment guarantee. However, there can be no assurance that Island Fund will be able to reimburse us in the event of any draws against the letters of credit or the repayment guarantee or that Island Fund’s future reimbursement obligations will not exceed the amount of the letter of credit provided to us by Island Fund.

L.J. Melody & Company previously executed an agreement with Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, to initially fund the purchase of a commercial mortgage loan portfolio using proceeds from its RFC line of credit. Subsequently, a 100% participation in the loan portfolio was sold to Fannie Mae and we retained the credit risk on the first 2% of losses incurred on the underlying portfolio of commercial mortgage loans. The current loan portfolio balance is $98.6 million and we have collateralized a portion of our obligations to cover the first 1% of losses through a letter of credit in favor of Fannie Mae for a total of approximately $1.0 million. The other 1% is covered in the form of a guarantee to Fannie Mae.

We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $24.3 million as of March 31, 2004, excluding letters of credit securing our outstanding indebtedness. Approximately $12.6 million of these letters of credit secure certain office leases and are outstanding pursuant to the revolving credit facility under our amended and restated credit agreement. An additional $10.7 million of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement with Island Fund described above and are outstanding pursuant to a reimbursement agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia. Under this agreement, we may issue up to a maximum of approximately $11.0 million of letters of credit at any one time and these outstanding letters of credit are secured by the same assets of ours that secure our amended and restated credit agreement. The remaining outstanding letter of credit, which is for the Fannie Mae agreement as described above, was issued pursuant to a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. Under this agreement, we may issue up to a maximum of $8.0 million of letters of credit at any one time and these outstanding letters of credit are secured by the same assets of ours that secure our amended and restated credit agreement. The outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2004 expire at varying dates through March 31, 2005. However, we are obligated to renew the letters of credit related to certain office leases until as late as 2023, the letters of credit related to the Island Fund purchase agreement until as late as July 23, 2006 and the Fannie Mae letter of credit until our obligation to cover potential credit losses is satisfied.

We had guarantees totaling $9.0 million as of March 31, 2004, which consisted primarily of guarantees of property debt, as well as the obligations to Island Fund and Fannie Mae discussed above. Approximately $4.8 million of the guarantees is related to investment activity that is scheduled to expire in October 2008. Approximately $1.7 million of the guarantees is related to office leases in Europe and Asia. These guarantees will expire at the end of the lease terms. The guarantee obligation related to the agreement with Fannie Mae discussed above will expire in December 2004. The guarantee related to the Island Fund purchase agreement will expire on the August 30, 2004 maturity date of the underlying loan agreement, unless such loan is renewed, modified or extended prior to such date to provide for a later maturity date. Renewals, modifications and extensions of such loan may be made without our consent, but the $1.3 million amount of our guarantee related to such loan may not be increased without our consent in connection with any such renewal, modification or extension.

An important part of the strategy for our investment management business involves investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. As of March 31, 2004, we had committed $22.6 million to fund future co-investments. We expect that approximately $19 million of these commitments will be funded during 2004. In addition to required future capital contributions, some of the co- investment entities may request additional capital from us and our subsidiaries holding investments in those assets and the failure to provide these contributions could have adverse consequences to our interests in these investments.

As a result of the completion of the offering, we will incur an aggregate of $15.0 million of compensation expenses relating to bonus payments that are payable to several of our non-executive real estate services employees pursuant to their employment agreements.

Index to Financial Statements

Seasonality

A significant portion of our revenue is seasonal, which affects your ability to compare our financial condition and results of operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis. Historically, this seasonality has caused our revenue, operating income, net income and cash flow from operating activities to be lower in the first two quarters and higher in the third and fourth quarters of each year. The concentration of earnings and cash flow in the fourth quarter is due to an industry-wide focus on completing transactions toward the fiscal year-end. This has historically resulted in lower profits or a loss in the first and second quarters, with profits growing or losses decreasing in each subsequent quarter.

Inflation

Our commissions and other variable costs related to revenue are primarily affected by real estate market supply and demand, which may be affected by general economic conditions including inflation. However, to date, we do not believe that general inflation has had a material impact upon our operations.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that management believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies represent the areas where more significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

We record real estate commissions on sales upon close of escrow or upon transfer of title. Real estate commissions on leases are generally recorded as income once we satisfy all obligations under the commission agreement. A typical commission agreement provides that we earn a portion of the lease commission upon the execution of the lease agreement by the tenant, while the remaining portion(s) of the lease commission is earned at a later date, usually upon tenant occupancy. The existence of any significant future contingencies will result in the delay of recognition of revenue until such contingencies are satisfied. For example, if we do not earn all or a portion of the lease commission until the tenant pays its first month’s rent, and the lease agreement provides the tenant with a free rent period, we delay revenue recognition until cash rent is paid by the tenant. Investment management and property management fees are recognized when earned under the provisions of the related agreements. Appraisal fees are recorded after services have been rendered. Loan origination fees are recognized at the time the loan closes and we have no significant remaining obligations for performance in connection with the transaction, while loan servicing fees are recorded to revenue as monthly principal and interest payments are collected from mortgagors. Other commissions, consulting fees and referral fees are recorded as income at the time the related services have been performed unless significant future contingencies exist.

In establishing the appropriate provisions for trade receivables, we make assumptions with respect to their future collectibility. Our assumptions are based on an individual assessment of a customer’s credit quality as well as subjective factors and trends, including the aging of receivables balances. In addition to these individual assessments, in general, outstanding trade accounts receivable amounts that are more than 180 days overdue are fully provided for.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus include our accounts and those of our majority owned subsidiaries. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus include the accounts of CB Richard Ellis Services prior to the date we acquired it in 2001, as CB

Index to Financial Statements

Richard Ellis Services is considered our predecessor for purposes of Regulation S-X. The equity attributable to minority shareholders’ interests in subsidiaries is shown separately in our consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this prospectus. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, our share of the earnings of these equity-method basis companies is included in consolidated net income. All other investments held on a long-term basis are valued at cost less any impairment in value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill mainly represents the excess of the purchase price paid by us over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001 and our acquisition of Insignia Financial Group in 2003. Other intangible assets include trademarks, which were separately identified as a result of the 2001 acquisition, as well as a trade name separately identified as a result of the Insignia acquisition representing the Richard Ellis trade name in the United Kingdom that was owned by Insignia prior to the Insignia acquisition. Both the trademarks and the trade name are not being amortized and have indefinite estimated useful lives. Other intangible assets also include backlog, which represents the fair value of Insignia’s net revenue backlog as of July 23, 2003 that was acquired as part of the Insignia acquisition. The net revenue backlog consists of the net commission receivable on Insignia’s revenue producing transactions, which were at various stages of completion prior to the Insignia acquisition. Net revenue backlog is being amortized as cash is received or upon final closing of these pending transactions. The remaining other intangible assets primarily include management contracts, loan servicing rights, franchise agreements and a trade name, which are all being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging up to 20 years.

We fully adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” effective January 1, 2002. This statement requires us to perform at least annually an assessment of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives based on assumptions and estimates of fair value and future cash flow information. We perform an annual assessment of our goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives for impairment based in part on a third-party valuation as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year. We also assess goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from future cash flows. We completed our required annual impairment tests as of October 1, 2003 and 2002 and determined that no impairment existed as of those dates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, or FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” This standard clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” and addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risk among the parties involved. This statement is immediately effective for variable interest entities created or in which an enterprise obtains an interest after January 31, 2003.

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of FIN 46, or FIN 46R. Among other things, the revision clarifies the definition of a variable interest entity, exempts most entities that are businesses from the scope of FIN 46R and delays the effective date of the revised standard to no later than the end of the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003 for special purpose entities and March 15, 2004 for all other types of entities. The adoption of this interpretation has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Index to Financial Statements

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment to Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is applied prospectively and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for SFAS No. 133 implementation issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 and certain provisions relating to forward purchases and sales on securities that do not yet exist. The adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for the classification and measurement of financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The financial instruments affected include mandatorily redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and must be applied to our existing financial instruments effective July 1, 2003. On October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred indefinitely the provisions of paragraphs 9 and 10 and related guidance in the appendices of this pronouncement as they apply to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The adoption of the effective provisions of SFAS No. 150 have not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of SFAS No. 132 “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” The revised statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in SFAS No. 132 and requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. We have adopted this statement for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, we expect to adopt additional disclosures for our U.K. pension plans during 2004.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our international operations and changes in interest rates on debt obligations.

Exchange Rates

Approximately 30.2% of our business was transacted in local currencies of foreign countries for the year ended December 31, 2003, the majority of which included the Euro, the British pound sterling, the Hong Kong dollar, the Singapore dollar and the Australian dollar. We attempt to manage our exposure primarily by balancing assets and liabilities, and maintaining cash positions in foreign countries only at levels necessary for operating purposes. However, we do not enter into agreements to hedge the risks associated with translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect reported amounts of our total assets and liabilities, which are reflected in our financial statements as translated into U.S. dollars for each financial reporting period at the exchange rate in effect on the respective balance sheet dates, and our total revenues and expenses, which are reflected in our financial statements as translated into U.S. dollars for each financial reporting period at the monthly average exchange rate. For example, during 2003, the U.S. dollar dropped against many of the currencies in which we conduct business. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, foreign currency translation had a $17.4 million positive impact on total revenue and a $16.8 million negative impact on our total costs of services and operating, administrative and other expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2003, foreign currency translation had a $54.4 million positive impact on our total revenue and a $47.3 million negative impact on our total costs of services and operating, administrative and other expenses.

We routinely monitor our exposure to currency exchange rate changes in connection with transactions and sometimes enter into foreign currency exchange forward and option contracts to limit our exposure to such

Index to Financial Statements

transactions, as appropriate. We apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” when accounting for any such contracts. In the normal course of business, we also sometimes utilize derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange exposure resulting from intercompany loans. In all cases, we view derivative financial instruments as a risk management tool and, accordingly, do not engage in any speculative activities with respect to foreign currency. At March 31, 2004, we had foreign currency exchange forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $34.2 million that mature on various dates through December 31, 2004. The net impact on our earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2004 resulting from unrealized gains and/or losses on these foreign currency exchange forward contracts was not significant. On April 6, 2004, we entered into an option agreement to purchase an aggregate notional amount of 8.7 million British pounds sterling, which matures on December 29, 2004.

Interest Rates

We manage our interest expense by using a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. Our fixed and variable rate long-term debt at December 31, 2003 consisted of the following:


Year of Maturity	Fixed Rate			One-Month Yen LIBOR +3.5%			One-Month LIBOR +1.0%			Six-Month LIBOR +3.25%			Interest Rate Range of 1.0% to 6.25%			Six-Month Yen LIBOR +3.75%			Six-Month GBP LIBOR –2.0%			Total

(2)

Consists of amounts due under our senior secured credit facilities. These amounts will be refinanced in connection with the completion of the offering. The expected interest rates applying to such amounts after such refinancing are not reflected in this table. In addition, we expect to use a portion of the proceeds we receive from the offering to prepay $16.9 million in principal amount of these amounts.

(3)

Primarily includes our 11¼% senior subordinated notes, 9¾% senior notes and 16% senior notes. In May and June 2004, we purchased $21.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 11¹/4% senior subordinated notes in the open market. In addition, we expect to use a portion of the proceeds we receive from the offering to redeem $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9¾% senior notes and the remaining $38.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes.

We utilize sensitivity analyses to assess the potential effect of our variable rate debt. If interest rates were to increase by 35 basis points, approximately 10% of the weighted average interest rates of our outstanding variable rate debt at December 31, 2003, the net impact would be a decrease of $2.1 million on annual pre-tax income and cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Based on dealers’ quotes at December 31, 2003, the estimated fair values of our 9¾% senior notes and 11¼% senior subordinated notes were $222.0 million and $256.5 million, respectively. There was no trading

activity for our 16% senior notes due in 2011. The carrying value of our 16% senior notes as of December 31, 2003 totaled $35.5 million. Estimated fair values for the term loan under our senior secured credit facilities and our remaining long-term debt are not presented because we believe that they are not materially different from book value, primarily because the majority of our remaining debt is based on variable rates that approximate terms that we believe could be obtained at December 31, 2003.

We historically have not entered into agreements with third parties for the purpose of hedging our exposure to changes in interest rates. Although we do not have any current intentions to enter into such agreements in the future, we may do so in connection with our on-going assessment of our interest rate exposure. If we do enter into any such agreements, we would do so for risk management purposes only and not to engage in speculative activities with respect to interest rates. We would apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,” when accounting for any such derivatives.

BUSINESS

Overview

Our History

We trace our roots to a San Francisco-based firm formed in 1906 that grew to become one of the largest commercial real estate services firms in the western United States during the 1940s. In the 1960s and 70s, the company expanded both its service portfolio and geographic coverage to become a full-service provider with a growing presence throughout the United States.

In 1989, employees and third-party investors acquired the company’s operations to form CB Commercial. Throughout the 1990s, CB Commercial moved aggressively to accelerate growth and cultivate global capabilities to meet client demands. The company acquired leading firms in investment management (Westmark Realty Advisors—now CB Richard Ellis Investors, in 1995), mortgage banking (L.J. Melody & Company, in 1996) and property and corporate facilities management, as well as capital markets and investment management (Koll Real Estate Services, in 1997). In 1996, CB Commercial became a public company.

In 1998, the company, then known as CB Commercial Real Estate Services Group, achieved significant global expansion with the acquisition of REI Limited. REI Limited, which traces its roots to London in 1773, was the holding company for all “Richard Ellis” operations outside of the United Kingdom. Following the REI Limited acquisition, the company changed its name to CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. and, later in 1998, acquired the London-based firm of Hillier Parker May & Rowden, one of the top property services firms operating in the United Kingdom. With these acquisitions, we believe we became the first real estate services firm with a platform to deliver integrated real estate services across the world’s major business capitals through one commonly-owned, commonly-managed company.

CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., which was initially known as Blum CB Holding Corp. and later as CBRE Holding, Inc., was formed by an affiliate of Blum Capital Partners, L.P. as a Delaware corporation on February 20, 2001 for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding stock of CB Richard Ellis Services in a “going private” transaction. This transaction, which involved members of our senior management team and affiliates of Blum Capital Partners and Freeman Spogli & Co., was completed in July 2001.

In July 2003, our global position was further solidified as CB Richard Ellis Services and Insignia Financial Group, Inc. were brought together to form a premier, worldwide, full-service real estate company. As a result of the Insignia acquisition, we now operate globally under the “CB Richard Ellis” brand name, which we believe is

Index to Financial Statements

a well-recognized brand in virtually all of the world’s key business centers. Lastly, in order to enhance our financing flexibility and to provide liquidity for some of our stockholders, in February 2004 we filed a registration statement, which included this prospectus, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for an initial public offering of our common stock.

Our Corporate Structure

We are a holding company and conduct all of our operations through our indirect subsidiaries. Our directly-owned subsidiary CB Richard Ellis Services is also generally a holding company and is the primary obligor or issuer with respect to most of our long-term indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facilities, our 9¾% senior notes due 2010 and our 11¼% senior subordinated notes due 2011.

In our Americas segment described below, substantially all of our advisory services and outsourcing services operations, other than mortgage loan origination and servicing, are conducted through our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries CB Richard Ellis Real Estate Services, Inc., which we acquired in connection with the Insignia acquisition and was formerly known as Insignia/ESG, Inc. and CB Richard Ellis Inc. Our mortgage loan origination and servicing operations are conducted exclusively through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, L.J. Melody & Company, and its subsidiaries. Our investment management business in our Americas segment is conducted almost entirely through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary CB Richard Ellis Investors, L.L.C. Our operations in Canada are primarily conducted through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary CB Richard Ellis Limited.

Our operations outside the Americas segment, including both our Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific segments described below, are conducted through a number of indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. The most significant of such subsidiaries in Europe, Middle East and Africa include CB Richard Ellis Ltd. and Insignia Richard Ellis Europe Limited (the United Kingdom), CB Richard Ellis SA and Insignia France SARL (France), CB Richard Ellis SA (Spain) and CB Richard Ellis, B.V. (The Netherlands). The most significant of such subsidiaries in Asia Pacific include CB Richard Ellis Pty Ltd. (Australia), CB Richard Ellis (Agency) Ltd. (New Zealand), CB Richard Ellis Ltd. (Hong Kong) and CB Richard Ellis Pte Ltd. (Singapore).

Industry Overview

Our business covers all the various segments that compose the commercial real estate services industry, which includes leasing, sales, property management, facilities management, consulting, mortgage origination and servicing, valuation and appraisal services and investment management. Based upon our experience in these various segments and our management’s ongoing, internally-generated assessment of the size of the addressable market within each such segment, we believe that the U.S. commercial real estate services industry, excluding investment management, generated approximately $22 billion in revenues during 2003.

In addition, we review on a quarterly basis various internally-generated statistics and estimates regarding both office and industrial space within the U.S. commercial real estate services industry, including the total available “stock” of rentable space and the average rent per square foot of space. Our management believes that changes in the addressable commercial rental market represented by the product of available stock and rent per square foot provide a reliable estimate of changes in the overall commercial real estate services industry because nearly all segments within the industry are affected by changes in these two measurements. We estimate that the product of available stock and rent per square foot grew at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 4.8% from 1993 through 2003.

During the next few years, we believe the key drivers of revenue growth for the largest commercial real estate services companies will be: (1) the continued outsourcing of commercial real estate services, (2) the consolidation of clients’ activities with fewer providers and (3) the increasing institutional ownership of commercial real estate.

Outsourcing

Motivated by reduced costs, lower overhead, improved execution across markets, increased operational efficiency and a desire to focus on their core competencies, property owners and occupiers have increasingly contracted out for commercial real estate services, including the following:

•

Transaction management — oversight of purchase and sale of properties, execution of lease transactions, renewal of leases, expansions and relocation of offices and disposition of surplus space;

•

Facilities management — oversight of all the operations associated with the functioning of occupied real estate, whether owned and leased, including engineering services, janitorial services, security services, landscaping and capital improvements and directing and monitoring of various subcontractors;

•

Project management — oversight of the design and construction of interior space (as distinct from building design and construction), including assembling and coordinating contracting teams, and creating and managing budgets;

•

Lease administration — analysis of all real estate leases of a client to ensure that it is in compliance with all terms and maintenance of reports on all lease data, including critical dates such as renewal options, expansion options and termination options, performance of required services and proper charging or payment for costs;

•

Property Management — oversight of the daily operation of a single property or portfolio of properties, including tenant service/relations and bidding, awarding and administering subcontracts for maintenance, landscaping, security, parking, capital and tenant improvements to implement the owner’s specific property value enhancement objectives through maximization of cash flow; and

•

Property Accounting — performance of all of the accounting and financial reporting associated with a property or portfolio, including operating budget and expenses, rent collection and other accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital and tenant improvements and tenant lease administration.

According to an Ernst & Young study of major corporations published in the Fall of 2002, 57% of the subject corporations retained third-party service providers for transaction management services, 46% outsourced their lease administration functions and 37% outsourced their facilities management functions. We believe this represents an increase from historical outsourcing of these functions, and we expect this outsourcing trend to continue.

Consolidation

Despite recent consolidation, the commercial real estate services industry remains highly fragmented. Other than the limited number of national and international real estate services firms with whom we compete in a number of service competencies, most firms within the industry are local or regional firms that are substantially smaller than us on an overall basis, although in some cases have a larger local presence in certain competencies. We believe that major property owners and corporate users are motivated to consolidate their service provider relationships on a regional, national and global basis to obtain more consistent execution across markets, to achieve economies of scale and enhanced purchasing power and to benefit from streamlined management oversight and the efficiency of “single point of contact” service delivery. As a result, we believe large owners and occupiers are awarding a disproportionate share of this business to the larger real estate services providers, particularly those that provide a full suite of services across geographical boundaries.

Institutional Ownership of Commercial Real Estate

Institutional owners, such as real estate investment trusts, or REITs, pension funds, foreign institutions and other financial entities, increasingly are acquiring more real estate assets and financing them in the capital markets. Total U.S. real estate assets held by institutional owners increased to $423 billion in 2003 from $223 billion in 1994. REITs were the main drivers of this growth, with a portfolio increase of more than 400% over

Index to Financial Statements

this time period. Pension fund assets also grew by 48% and foreign institutions augmented their U.S. real estate investments by 77%. We believe it is likely that these owners will outsource management of their portfolios and consolidate their use of commercial real estate services vendors.

Our Regions of Operation and Principal Services

We have organized our business into, and report our results of operations through, three geographically organized segments: (1) the Americas, (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa, or EMEA, and (3) Asia Pacific. Within our Americas segment, we organize our services into the following business areas in order to maximize synergies and cross-selling opportunities among our clients: (a) advisory services, (b) outsourcing services and (c) investment management services.

Information regarding revenue and operating income or loss, attributable to each of our segments, is included in “Segment Operations” within the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this prospectus and within note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Information concerning the identifiable assets of each of our business segments is set forth in note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The Americas

Advisory Services

Corporations, institutions and other users of real estate services have been increasingly consolidating their relationships with fewer service providers that have depth of resources, full array of services and broad geographic reach. We believe our advisory services businesses have been at the vanguard of this trend, offering occupier/tenant and investor/owner services that meet the full spectrum of marketplace needs, including (1) real estate services, (2) mortgage loan origination and servicing and (3) valuation. Our advisory services business line accounted for 59.7% of our 2003 revenue, 60.5% of our 2002 revenue and 61.3% of our 2001 revenue.

Within advisory services, our major service lines are the following:

•

Real Estate Services. We provide strategic advice and execution assistance to owners, investors and occupiers of real estate in connection with leasing, disposition and acquisition of property. These businesses are built upon strong client relationships that frequently lead to recurring revenue opportunities over many years. Our real estate services professionals are particularly adept at aligning real estate strategies with client business objectives, serving as an advisor as well as transaction executor. During 2003, on a pro forma basis, we advised on nearly 23,000 lease transactions involving aggregate rents of approximately $27.3 billion and more than 4,700 real estate sales transactions with an aggregate value of approximately $27.6 billion. We believe we are a market leader for the provision of sales and leasing real estate services in many of the top U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau), including New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston and Dallas.

Our advice and execution assistance professionals are compensated primarily through commission-based programs, which are payable upon completion of the assignment. Therefore, as compensation is one of our largest expenses, this flexible cost structure permits us to mitigate the negative effect on our operating margins during difficult market conditions. Due to the low barriers to entry and significant competition for quality employees, we strive to retain top professionals through an attractive compensation program tied to productivity.

Index to Financial Statements

We further strengthen our relationships with our real estate services clients by offering proprietary research to clients through our Torto Wheaton Research unit, a leading provider of commercial real estate market information, forecasting and consulting services. Torto Wheaton Research provides data and analysis to its clients in various formats, including TWR Outlook reports for office, industrial, hotel, retail and multi-housing sectors covering 56 U.S. metropolitan areas and TWR Select office and industrial database coverage of over 210,000 commercial properties.

•

Mortgage Loan Origination and Servicing. Our wholly owned subsidiary, L.J. Melody & Company, originates and services commercial mortgage loans primarily through relationships established with investment banking firms, national banks, credit companies, insurance companies, pension funds and government agencies. During 2003, L.J. Melody originated $11.0 billion in mortgage loans and, through a joint venture with GE Capital Real Estate, serviced approximately $61.0 billion in mortgage loans, $23.2 billion of which relates to servicing rights of L.J. Melody. Approximately $1.4 billion in loans were originated for federal government sponsored entities using a revolving credit line dedicated exclusively for this purpose. These loan originations generally occur without principal risk because L.J. Melody obtains a legally binding purchase commitment from the government sponsored entity before it actually originates the loan.

•

Valuation. We provide valuation services that include market value appraisals, litigation support, discounted cash flow analyses and feasibility and fairness opinions. Our valuation business has developed proprietary technology for preparing and delivering valuation reports to its clients, which we believe provides it with a competitive advantage over its rivals. We believe that our valuation business is one of the largest in our industry. During 2003, on a pro forma basis, we completed over 11,500 valuation, appraisal and advisory assignments.

Outsourcing Services

Outsourcing is a long-term trend in commercial real estate, with corporations, institutions and others seeking to achieve improved efficiency, better execution and lower costs by relying on the expertise of third-party real estate specialists. Our outsourcing services business includes two business lines that seek to capitalize on this trend: (1) asset services and (2) corporate services. Although our management agreements with our outsourcing clients generally may be terminated on relatively short notice ranging between 30 days to a year, we have developed long-term relationships with many of these clients and we continue to work closely with them to implement their specific goals and objectives and to preserve and expand upon these relationships. As of December 31, 2003, we managed approximately 422.8 million square feet of commercial space for property owners and occupiers, which we believe represents one of the largest portfolios in the Americas. Our outsourcing services business line accounted for 11.2% of our 2003 revenue, 13.1% of our 2002 revenue and 14.7% of our 2001 revenue.

•

Asset Services. We provide property management, construction management, marketing, leasing, accounting and financial services on a contractual basis for income-producing office, industrial and retail properties owned by local, regional and institutional investors. We believe our contractual relationships with these clients put us in an advantageous position to provide other services for them, including refinancing, disposition and appraisal.

•

Corporate Services. We provide a comprehensive set of portfolio management, transaction management, project management, strategic consulting, facilities management and other corporate real estate services to leading global companies and public sector institutions with large, geographically-diverse real estate portfolios. Corporate facilities under management in the Americas region include headquarters buildings, regional offices, administrative offices and manufacturing and distribution facilities. Corporate services’ clients are typically companies or public sector institutions with large, distributed real estate portfolios. We enter into long-term, contractual relationships with these organizations with the goal of ensuring that our clients’ real estate strategies support their overall business strategies.

Investment Management Services

Our wholly owned subsidiary, CB Richard Ellis Investors, L.L.C., provides investment management services to clients that include pension plans, investment funds, insurance companies and other organizations seeking to generate returns and diversification through investment in real estate and sponsors funds and investment programs that span the risk/return spectrum. In higher yield strategies, CBRE Investors “co-invests” with its clients/partners. Our investment management services business line accounted for 2.6% of our 2003 revenue, 3.0% of our 2002 revenue and 3.3% of our 2001 revenue.

CBRE Investors is organized into three general client-focused groups according to investment strategy, which include managed accounts group (low risk), strategic partners (value added funds) and special situations (higher yield and highly focused strategies). Operationally, a dedicated investment team with the requisite skill sets executes each investment strategy, with the team’s compensation being driven largely by the investment performance of its particular strategy/fund. This organizational structure is designed to align the interests of team members with those of the firm and its investor clients/partners and to enhance accountability and performance. Dedicated teams share resources such as accounting, financial controls, information technology, investor services and research. In addition to the research provided by our advisory services group, which focuses primarily on market conditions and forecasts, CBRE Investors has an in-house team of research professionals who focus on investment strategy and underwriting.

CBRE Investors closed over $1.2 billion of new acquisitions in the Americas in each of 2002 and 2003, and it has increased its assets under management in the Americas from $3.5 billion in 1998 to $5.7 billion in 2003, representing a 10.2% compound annual growth rate.

Europe, Middle East and Africa

Our EMEA segment has offices in 28 countries, with its largest operations located in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, The Netherlands and Germany. Operations within the EMEA countries generally include brokerage, investment properties, corporate services, valuation/appraisal services, asset management services, facilities management and other services similar to our Americas segment. The EMEA segment accounted for 19.2% of our 2003 revenue, 15.6% of our 2002 revenue and 13.8% of our 2001 revenue.

We are one of the leading commercial real estate services companies in the United Kingdom. We hold the leading market position in London in terms of 2003 leased square footage and provide a broad range of commercial property real estate services to investment, commercial and corporate clients located in London. We also have eight regional offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Jersey, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow. In France, we believe we are a market leader in Paris and we provide a complete range of services to the commercial property sector, as well as some services to the residential property market. In Spain, we provide expansive coverage operating through our offices in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, Marbella and Palma de Mallorca. Our business in The Netherlands is based in Amsterdam, while our German operations are located in Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg. Our operations in these countries generally provide a full range of services to the commercial property sector, along with some residential property services.

We also have affiliated offices that provide commercial real estate services under our brand name in the Middle East and Africa, including the countries of Bostwana, Israel, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Our agreements with these independent offices include licenses to use the “CB Richard Ellis” name in the relevant territory in return for payments to us of annual royalty fees. In addition, these agreements also include business cross-referral arrangements between us and the affiliates. We do not have any ownership interests with respect to these affiliated offices.

Asia Pacific

Our Asia Pacific segment has offices in 11 countries. We believe that we are one of only a few companies that can provide a full range of real estate services to large corporations throughout the region, including the

Index to Financial Statements

similar broad range of services provided by our Americas and EMEA segments. Our principal operations in Asia are located in China (including Hong Kong), Singapore, South Korea and Japan. In addition, we have agreements with affiliated offices in India, the Philippines, Thailand and other countries within the region that include licensing, royalty and cross-referral arrangements on terms similar to those with our affiliated offices in our EMEA segment, as described above. The Pacific region includes Australia and New Zealand, with principal offices located in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Auckland and Wellington. The Asia Pacific segment accounted for 7.3% of our 2003 revenue, 7.8% of our 2002 revenue and 6.9% of our 2001 revenue.

Our Competitive Position

•

Global Brand and Market Leading Positions. For nearly a century, we and our predecessors have built the CB Richard Ellis brand into the largest commercial real estate services provider in the world, based on 2003 revenue, and one of only two commercial real estate services companies with a global brand. As a result of our global brand recognition and geographic reach, large corporations, institutional owners and users of real estate recognize us as a leading provider of world-class, comprehensive real estate services. Operating under the global CB Richard Ellis brand name, we are a leader in many of the local markets in which we operate, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London and Paris.

•

Full Service Capabilities. We provide a full range of commercial real estate services to meet the needs of our clients, and we believe this suite of services represents a broader range globally than those of many of our competitors. When combined with our extensive global reach and localized knowledge, this full range of real estate services enables us to provide world-class service to our multi-regional and multi-national clients, as well as to maximize our revenue per client.

•

Strong Client Relationships and Client-tailored Service. We have forged long-term relationships with many of our clients. Our clients include more than 60% of the Fortune 100, with nearly half of these clients purchasing more than one service from us. In order to better satisfy the needs of our largest clients and to capture cross-selling opportunities, we have organized fully integrated client coverage teams comprised of senior management, a global relationship manager and regional and product specialists. We believe that this client-tailored approach contributed significantly to our 38.6% increase in revenues from the 50 largest clients of our U.S. investment sales group within our real estate services line of business during the period from 1999 to 2003.

•

Attractive Business Model. Our business model features a diversified client base, recurring revenue streams, a variable cost structure, low capital requirements and strong cash flow generation.

•

Diversified Client Base. Our global operations, multiple service lines and extensive client relationships provide us with a diversified revenue base. For 2003, on a pro forma basis, we estimate that corporations accounted for approximately 25% of our global revenues, insurance companies and banks accounted for approximately 23% of our revenue, pension funds and their advisors accounted for approximately 14% of our revenue, individuals and partnerships accounted for approximately 11% of our revenue, REITs accounted for approximately 10% of our revenue and other types of clients accounted for the remainder of our revenues.

•

Recurring Revenue Streams. Our years of strong local market presence have allowed us to develop significant repeat client relationships, which along with the turnover of leases and properties for which we have previously acted as transaction manager we estimate accounted for approximately 65% of our 2003 revenue. This includes our contractual, annual fee-for-services businesses, which generally involve facilities management, property management, mortgage loan servicing provided by L.J. Melody & Company and asset management provided by CBRE Investors. Our contractual, fee-for-service business represented 12.7% of our 2003 revenue.

Index to Financial Statements

•

Variable Cost Structure. Compensation is one of our largest expenses, and our sales and leasing professionals are generally paid on a commission and bonus basis, which correlates with our revenue performance. This flexible cost structure mitigates the negative effect on our operating margins during difficult market conditions. However, our cost structure also includes significant other operating expenses that may not correlate to our revenue performance, including office lease and information technology maintenance expenses along with insurance premiums.

•

Low Capital Requirements. Our business model is structured to provide value-added services with low capital intensity. During 2003, our net capital expenditures were 1.7% of our revenue.

•

Strong Cash Flow Generation. Our strong brand name, full-service capabilities, and global presence enable us to generate significant revenues which, when combined with our flexible cost structure and low capital requirements, have allowed us historically to generate significant cash flow in a variety of economic conditions.

•

Strong Management Team and Workforce. Our most important asset is our people. We have recruited a talented and motivated workforce of over 13,500 employees worldwide, who are supported by a strong and deep senior management team consisting of a number of highly-respected executives, most of whom have over 20 years of broad experience in the real estate industry. In addition, we use equity compensation to align the interests of our senior management team with the interests of our stockholders. Our executive officers beneficially owned approximately 4.2% of our common stock as of May 31, 2004, and our employees, as a group, beneficially owned 11.4% of our common stock on the same date. After giving effect to the offering, our executive officers will beneficially own approximately 3.7% and our employees as a group will beneficially own approximately 10.1% of our outstanding common stock.

•

Significant Leverage. We are highly leveraged and have significant debt service obligations. For the year ended December 31, 2003, on a pro forma basis, our interest expense was $63.5 million. In addition, the instruments governing our indebtedness impose significant operating and financial restrictions on the conduct of our business.

•

Geographic Concentration. During 2003, approximately 23.8% of our revenue was generated from transactions originating in California and approximately 6.9% of our revenue was generated from transactions originating in the greater New York metropolitan area. In addition, a significant portion of our European operations is concentrated in London and Paris. As a result, future adverse economic effects in these regions may affect us more than our competitors.

•

Exposure to Risks of International Operations. We conduct a significant portion of our business and employ a substantial number of people outside of the United States. During 2003, we generated approximately 30.2% of our revenue from operations outside the United States. Because a significant portion of our revenues are derived from operations outside the United States, we are exposed to adverse changes in exchange rates and social, political and economic risks of doing business in foreign countries.

•

Smaller Presence in Some Markets than our Local Competitors. Although we are the largest commercial real estate services firm in the world in terms of 2003 revenue, our relative competitive position varies significantly across service categories and geographic areas. Depending on the service, we face competition from other real estate service providers, institutional lenders, insurance companies, investment banking firms, investment managers and accounting firms, some of which may have greater financial resources than we do. Many of our competitors are local or regional firms. Although substantially smaller than we are, some of these competitors are larger on a local or regional basis.

Our Growth Strategy

We believe we have built the premier integrated global services platform in our industry. In developing this integrated global platform, we acquired such entities as The Koll Company, Westmark Realty Advisors, L.J. Melody, Richard Ellis International and Hillier Parker May & Rowden during the 1990s and, in 2003, we acquired Insignia. Today, we believe we offer the commercial real estate services industry’s most complete suite of service offerings and that we have a leadership position in many of the top business centers around the world. Our primary business objective is to leverage this platform in order to garner an increasing share of industry revenues relative to our competitors. We believe this will enable us to maximize and sustain our long-term cash flow and increase long-term stockholder value. Our strategy to achieve these business objectives consists of several elements:

•

Increase Revenue from Large Clients. We plan to capitalize on our client management strategy for our large clients, which is designed to provide them with a full range of services globally while maximizing our revenue per client. We deliver these services through relationship management teams that are charged with thoroughly understanding our customer’s business and real estate strategies and matching our services to the customers’ requirements. The global relationship manager is a highly seasoned professional who is focused on maximizing revenue per client and compensated with a salary and a performance-based bonus and is supported by salaried professionals with specialized expertise, such as marketing, financial analysis and construction. The team leader also taps into our field-level transaction professionals, as necessary, for execution of client strategies. We believe this approach to client management will lead to stronger client relationships and enable us to maximize cross-selling opportunities and capture a larger share of our clients’ commercial real estate services expenditures. For example:

•

we generated repeat business in 2003 from approximately 60% of our U.S. real estate sales and leasing clients;

•

more than 40% of our corporate services clients today purchase more than one service and, in many cases, more than two;

•

the square footage we manage for our 15 largest asset services clients has grown by 55% in three years; and

•

the 50 largest clients of the investment sales group within our real estate services line of business generated $52.6 million in revenues in 2003—up 38.6% from $37.9 million for these same 50 clients four years earlier.

•

Capitalize on Cross-selling Opportunities. Because we believe cross-selling represents a large growth opportunity within the commercial real estate services industry, we are committed to emphasizing this opportunity across all of our clients, services and regions. We have dedicated substantial resources and implemented several management initiatives to better enable our workforce to capitalize on these opportunities among our various lines of business, including our “CBRE University” outside Chicago that provides intensive training for sales and management professionals, a customer relationship management database and sales management principles and incentives designed to improve individual productivity. We believe the combination of these initiatives will enable us to further penetrate local markets and better capitalize on our worldwide platform.

•

Continue to Grow our Investment Management Business. Our growing investment management business provides us with an attractive revenue source through fees on assets under management and gains on the sales of assets. We also expect to achieve strong growth in this business by continuing to harness the vast resources of the entire CB Richard Ellis organization for the benefit of our investment management clients. CBRE Investors’ independent structure creates an alignment of interests with its investors, while permitting its portfolio companies to use the broad range of services provided by our other business lines. As a result, we historically have received significant revenue from the provision of services on an arm’s length basis to these portfolio companies, and we believe this will continue in the future.

Focus on Best Practices to Improve Operating Efficiency. In 2001, we launched a best practices initiative, branded “People, Platform & Performance,” and we believe the process and operational improvements associated with this initiative contributed to operating cost reductions. We believe our focus on best practices has enabled us to generate industry-leading operating margins. We remain keenly focused on this strategic initiative and continue to strive for efficiency improvements and cost savings in order to maximize our operating margins and cash flow.

Competition

We compete across a variety of business disciplines within the commercial real estate services industry, including investment management, tenant representation, corporate services, construction and development management, property management, agency leasing, valuation and mortgage banking. Each of the business disciplines in which we compete is highly competitive on an international, national, regional and local level. Although we are the largest commercial real estate services firm in the world in terms of 2003 revenue, our relative competitive position varies significantly across product and service categories and geographic areas. Depending on the product or service, we face competition from other commercial real estate service providers, institutional lenders, insurance companies, investment banking firms, investment managers and accounting firms, some of which may have greater financial resources than we do. Many of our competitors are local or regional firms. Although substantially smaller than we are, some of these competitors are larger on a local or regional basis. We are also subject to competition from other large national and multi-national firms that have similar service competencies to ours, including Cushman & Wakefield, Grubb & Ellis, Jones Lang LaSalle and Trammell Crow.

Different factors weigh heavily in the competition for clients. In advisory services, key differentiating factors include quality service, resource depth, demonstrated track record, analytical skills, market knowledge, strategic thinking and creative problem-solving. These factors are also vital in outsourcing services, and are supplemented by consistency of execution across markets, economies of scale, enhanced efficiency and cost reduction strategies. In investment management the ability to enhance asset value and produce solid, consistent returns on invested capital are keys to success.

Seasonality

Employees

At December 31, 2003, we had approximately 13,500 employees worldwide. At December 31, 2003, approximately 245 of our employees were subject to collective bargaining agreements, the substantial majority of whom are employees in our asset services business in the New York/New Jersey area. We believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory.

Intellectual Property

We hold various trademarks and trade names worldwide, which include the “CB Richard Ellis” name. Although we believe our intellectual property plays a role in maintaining our competitive position in a number of the markets that we serve, we do not believe we would be materially adversely affected by expiration or termination of our trademarks or trade names or the loss of any of our other intellectual property rights other than the “CB Richard Ellis” name and the “L.J. Melody” name. With respect to the CB Richard Ellis and L.J. Melody names, we have processed and continuously maintain trademark registrations for these trade names in the United

Index to Financial Statements

States and, solely with respect to the CB Richard Ellis name, in most foreign jurisdictions where we conduct significant business. We obtained our most recent U.S. trademark registrations for the CB Richard Ellis name and related trade names in 2001, and these registrations would expire in 2007 if we failed to renew them. We obtained our most recent U.S. trademark registration for the L.J. Melody name in 1997, and this registration would expire in 2007 if we failed to renew it.

In addition to trade names, we have developed proprietary technology for preparing and developing valuation reports to our clients through our valuation business and we offer proprietary research to clients through our Torto Wheaton research unit. We also offer proprietary investment structures through CB Richard Ellis Investors. While we seek to secure our rights under applicable intellectual property protection laws in these and any other proprietary assets that we use in our business, we do not believe any of these other items of intellectual property are material to our business.

Environmental Matters

Federal, state and local laws and regulations impose environmental controls, disclosure rules and zoning restrictions that impact the management, development, use, or sale of commercial real estate. We are not aware of any material noncompliance with the environmental laws or regulations currently applicable to us, and we are not the subject of any material claim for liability with respect to contamination at any location. However, these laws and regulations may discourage sales and leasing activities and mortgage lending with respect to some properties, which may adversely affect both us and the commercial real estate services industry in general. In addition, if we fail to disclose environmental issues in connection with a real estate transaction, we may become liable to a buyer or lessee of property. Environmental contamination or other environmental liabilities may also negatively affect the value of commercial real estate assets held by entities that are managed by our investment management business, which could adversely impact the result of operations of that business line.

Applicable laws and contractual obligations to property owners could also subject us to environmental liabilities through our provision of management services. Environmental laws and regulations impose liability on current or previous real property owners or operators for the cost of investigating, cleaning up or removing contamination caused by hazardous or toxic substances at the property. As a result, we may be held liable as an operator for such costs in our role as an on-site property manager. This liability may result even if the original actions were legal and we had no knowledge of, or were not responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. Under certain environmental laws, we could also be held responsible for the entire amount of the liability if other responsible parties are unable to pay. We may also be liable under common law to third parties for property damages and personal injuries resulting from environmental contamination at our sites, including the presence of asbestos-containing materials. Insurance coverage for such matters may be unavailable or inadequate to cover our liabilities. Additionally, liabilities incurred to comply with more stringent future environmental requirements could adversely affect any or all of our lines of business.

Facilities

We occupied the following offices as of December 31, 2003:


Location	Sales Offices	Corporate Offices	Total
The Americas	139	2	141
Europe, Middle East and Africa	52	1	53
Asia Pacific	25	1	26

Total	216	4	220

In general, these leased offices are fully utilized. The most significant terms of the leasing arrangements for our offices are the term of the lease and the rent. Our leases have terms varying in duration. The rent payable

Index to Financial Statements

under our office leases varies significantly from location to location as a result of differences in prevailing commercial real estate rates in different geographic locations. Our management believes that no single office lease is material to our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, we believe there is adequate alternative office space available at acceptable rental rates to meet our needs, although adverse movements in rental rates in some markets may negatively affect our profits in those markets when we enter into new leases.

We do not own any offices, which is consistent with our strategy to lease instead of own.

Legal Proceedings

We are party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. Our management believes that any liability imposed on us that may result from disposition of these lawsuits will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Compensation of Directors

On November 5, 2003, we granted Gary Wilson options to acquire 27,714 shares of our Class A common stock for $5.77 per share in connection with his agreement to serve on the audit committee of our board of directors. On February 9, 2004, we granted Michael Kantor options to acquire 13,857 shares of our Class A common stock for $5.77 per share in connection with his agreement to serve on our board of directors. The options of Messrs. Wilson and Kantor were granted pursuant to our 2001 stock incentive plan, vest 20% per anniversary of their respective grant dates and expire on the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the grant date or the one-year anniversary after such director ceases to be a member of our board of directors.

In addition, we recently adopted a director compensation policy that provides for the following annual compensation for each of our non-employee directors:

•

a $20,000 annual cash retainer;

•

a grant of a number of unrestricted shares of our common stock with a fair market value equal to $10,000 on the date of grant;

•

a stock option grant for a number of shares equal to $50,000 divided by the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant; and

•

a restricted stock grant for a number of shares equal to $25,000 divided by the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Pursuant to this policy, our directors also receive an additional payment of $1,000 per meeting attended and $1,000 per committee meeting attended that was not scheduled in conjunction with a meeting of our board of directors. The chairman of the audit committee receives an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000, and the chairmen of all other committees receive additional annual cash retainers of $5,000 each. The annual cash retainer, the additional payments per meeting attended and the additional annual cash retainers for committee chairmanships became effective under this policy as of March 11, 2004.

With respect to the equity compensation components of our director compensation policy, we anticipate making automatic grants of stock options and restricted stock, as described above, to our current outside directors pursuant to our 2004 stock incentive plan, the terms of which are described below. These grants will be pro-rated to cover only the period from the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC to the following May 15, the end date of the annual pro-ration cycle as determined by the 2004 stock incentive plan.

We also reimburse our non-employee directors for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as directors. Our employee directors do not receive any fees for attendance at meetings or for their service on our board of directors.

(2)

Pursuant to the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, or “EIP,” Mr. White purchased 25,000 shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock in 1998 at a purchase price of $38.50 per share and 20,000 shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock in 2000 at a purchase price of $12.875 per share. These purchases were paid for by the delivery of full-recourse promissory notes. A First Amendment to Mr. White’s 1998 promissory note provided that the portion of the then outstanding principal in excess of the fair market value of the shares would be forgiven in the event that Mr. White was an employee of ours or of our subsidiaries on November 16, 2002 and the fair market value of our common stock was at least $13.89 per share on November 16, 2002. As part of our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, the 25,000 shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock purchased by Mr. White were exchanged for 69,284 shares of our Class B common stock, which shares were substituted for CB Richard Ellis Services shares as security for the note. Mr. White’s promissory note was subsequently amended in 2001, terminating the First Amendment and adjusting the original 1998 Stock Purchase Agreement by reducing the purchase price from $13.89 to $5.77. The 25,000 shares held as security for the Second Amended Promissory Note were tendered as full payment for this note. The remaining note delivered by Mr. White accrues interest at 7.40% per year and all principal and accrued interest is payable on August 31, 2010. As part of our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, the 20,000 shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock purchased by Mr. White were exchanged for 55,427 shares of our Class B common stock, which shares were substituted for CB Richard Ellis Services shares as security for the note. Pursuant to the EIP, Mr. Wirta

Index to Financial Statements

purchased 30,000 shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock in 2000 at a purchase price of $12.875 that was paid for by the delivery of a full-recourse promissory note. The note accrues interest at 7.40% per year and all principal and accrued interest is payable on August 31, 2010. As part of the acquisition, the 30,000 shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock were exchanged for 83,140 shares of our Class B common stock, which shares were substituted for the CB Richard Ellis Services’ shares as security for the note. All interest charged on the outstanding promissory note balances for any year is forgiven if the executive’s performance produces a high enough level of bonus, with approximately $7,500 of interest forgiven for each $10,000 of bonus. In 2003, our board of directors forgave all 2002 interest on Mr. White’s and Mr. Wirta’s notes. Based on the 2003 bonuses paid to Messrs. Wirta and White in the first quarter of 2004, we expect all interest charged on their outstanding promissory notes in 2003 to be forgiven in 2004.

(3)	Pursuant to Mr. Blain’s employment agreement, he received a schooling and housing allowance of $120,000 in 2002 and $157,692 in 2003.

(4)

In connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, we offered and sold shares of our Class A common stock for $5.77 per share to certain of our employees, including 177,541 shares to Mr. Wirta and 73,615 shares to Mr. White. If the employment of the owner of such shares is terminated, we have the right to repurchase a portion of the shares at either fair market value or the amount paid for such shares by the owner, which depends upon whether the owner was terminated “for cause” or voluntarily left for a “good reason,” as such terms are defined in the owner’s subscription agreement. On each of the first five anniversaries of the July 20, 2001 purchase date of the shares, 20% of the shares initially subject to repurchase cease to be subject to the right of repurchase. Accordingly, at December 31, 2003, 60% of such shares acquired by Mr. Wirta and Mr. White remain subject to repurchase. The per share consideration paid for these shares was the same as the per share consideration paid by certain of our stockholders to acquire shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock on July 20, 2001, which consideration was used to partially finance our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services. Our shares of Class A common stock are not publicly traded. Accordingly, the Summary Compensation Table reflects a valuation of $0 for these restricted stock awards.

(5)

In connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, we awarded cash retention bonuses to Messrs. Wirta, White and Leonetti to provide an incentive and reward for continued service up to and including the date of the acquisition. At the effective time of the acquisition, Messrs. Wirta, White and Leonetti also received for each of their options to purchase shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock the greater of (a) the amount by which $16.00 exceeded the exercise price of the option, if any, and (b) $1.00.

(6)

As described in greater detail in footnote (2) above, the promissory note delivered by Mr. White in 1998 as consideration for his purchase of 25,000 shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock for $38.50 per share, or a total of $962,500, was amended to adjust the principal amount of such promissory note to $400,000. The $562,500 difference is included as other compensation for Mr. White.

(7)	Mr. Kay joined us effective June 13, 2002.

(8)	Pursuant to Mr. Kay’s employment agreement, he received a sign-on bonus of $300,000.

(9)	Mr. Leonetti ceased to be an executive officer and an employee of ours on July 19, 2002.

(10)	In connection with the termination of Mr. Leonetti’s employment, he received a severance payment of $170,000.

(11)	Pursuant to a separation agreement executed on November 19, 2001, Mr. Leonetti received a payment of $300,000.

(12)	Mr. Froggatt joined us, effective July 23, 2003, when we acquired Insignia.

(13)	Mr. Froggatt received a car allowance of $20,777 in 2003.

(14)	Mr. Froggatt received a benefit of $566 under our life insurance program.

(15)	Mr. Blain joined us effective January 23, 2002.

(16)	Pursuant to Mr. Blain’s employment agreement, he received a one-time transfer allowance of $15,000.

Incentive Plans

2001 Stock Incentive Plan

Our 2001 stock incentive plan was adopted by our board of directors, and approved by our stockholders, on June 7, 2001. The 2001 stock incentive plan permits the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors or independent contractors. A total of 18,013,857 shares of Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2001 stock incentive plan, and 9,690,004 shares remained available for future issuance as of May 31, 2004. The number of shares issued or reserved pursuant to the 2001 stock incentive plan, or pursuant to outstanding awards, is subject to adjustment on account of stock splits, stock dividends and other dilutive changes in our Class A common stock. Class A common stock covered by awards that expire, terminate or lapse will again be available for option or grant under the 2001 stock incentive plan. No award may be granted under the 2001 stock incentive plan after June 7, 2011, but awards granted prior to June 7, 2011 may extend beyond that date.

The 2001 stock incentive plan is administered by our board of directors, which may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any committee of the board of directors. The board of directors has the sole discretion to determine the employees, directors and independent contractors to whom awards may be granted under the 2001 stock incentive plan and the manner in which the awards will vest. Options, stock appreciation

Index to Financial Statements

rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards will be granted by the board of directors to employees, directors and independent contractors in the numbers and at the times during the term of the 2001 stock incentive plan as the board of directors determines.

Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, awards granted under the 2001 stock incentive plan are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of a change of control, which is defined in the 2001 stock incentive plan, (1) any outstanding awards then held by participants, including executive officers, which are unvested or otherwise unexercisable will automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to the change of control and (2) our board of directors may (a) provide for a cash payment to the holder of an award in consideration for the cancellation of the award and/or (b) provide for substitute or adjusted awards.

Our 2001 stock incentive plan is expected to be terminated prior to the completion of the offering. Outstanding stock awards granted under the 2001 stock incentive plan will remain outstanding according to their terms, and we will continue to issue shares to the extent required under the terms of such outstanding awards.

2004 Stock Incentive Plan

Our board of directors has adopted, and our stockholders have approved, our 2004 stock incentive plan, which will become effective on the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a party is declared effective by the SEC. The 2004 stock incentive plan authorizes the grant of stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants.

A total of 6,928,406 shares of our Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2004 stock incentive plan. This share reserve will be reduced by one share upon exercise or redemption of an option or stock appreciation right, and reduced by 2.25 shares upon issuance of stock pursuant to other stock-based awards. Shares of our common stock covered by awards that expire, terminate, lapse, are reacquired by us or are redeemed for cash rather than shares will again be available for grant under the stock incentive plan. No employee will be eligible to be granted options or stock appreciation rights covering more than 2,078,522 shares during any calendar year. In addition, our board of directors has adopted a policy stating that no person will be eligible to be granted options, stock appreciation rights, or restricted stock purchase rights covering more than 692,841 shares during any calendar year and to be granted any other form of stock award permitted under the 2004 stock incentive plan covering more than 346,420 shares during any calendar year.

The number of shares issued or reserved pursuant to the 2004 stock incentive plan, or pursuant to outstanding awards, is subject to adjustment on account of mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, stock splits, stock dividends and other dilutive changes in our common stock. In addition, our board of directors may adjust outstanding awards to preserve the awards’ benefits or potential benefits.

Our board of directors has delegated administration of the 2004 stock incentive plan to the compensation committee. The compensation committee, or our board of directors if the delegation of authority to the compensation committee is terminated in the future, has the authority to:

•

designate participants in the plan;

•

determine the type(s), number, terms and conditions of awards, as well as the timing and manner of grant;

•

interpret the plan; establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations to administer the plan; and

•

make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the plan.

Incentive stock options must have an exercise price that is at least equal to, and nonstatutory stock options an exercise price at least 85% of, the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date the option is granted. An option holder may exercise an option by payment of the exercise price (1) in cash, (2) according to a

Index to Financial Statements

deferred payment or similar arrangement, (3) pursuant to a “same day sale” program, (4) by the surrender of a number of shares of Class A common stock already owned by the option holder for at least six months with a fair market value equal to the exercise price or (5) by a combination approved by the board. In the event of the option holder’s termination, the option holder will generally have up to three months (up to one year if due to disability or 18 months if due to death) from termination to exercise his/her vested options.

Directors who are neither employed by us nor receive a management fee from us will each automatically receive an annual grant of stock options with a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Class A common stock and an aggregate exercise price equal to $50,000. They will also each automatically receive an annual grant of restricted stock worth a total of $25,000 on the date of grant.

Our board of directors may award restricted stock bonuses. Our board may also award restricted stock units, which entitle the participant the right to receive one share of common stock per unit at the time the unit vests, with delivery of such common stock on a date chosen by the participant. For both restricted stock bonuses and units, vesting will generally be based on the participant’s continuous service. In the event a participant’s continuous service terminates, all unvested common stock as of the date of termination will be subject to our reacquisition.

Our board of directors may grant stock appreciation rights independent of or in connection with an option. The base price per share of a stock appreciation right may be no less than 85% of the fair market value of our Class A common stock. Generally, each stock appreciation right will entitle a participant upon redemption to an amount equal to (a) the excess of (1) the fair market value on the redemption date of one share of common stock over (2) the base price, times (b) the number of shares of common stock covered by the stock appreciation right. To the extent a stock appreciation right is granted concurrently with an option, the redemption of the stock appreciation right will proportionately reduce the number of shares of common stock subject to the concurrently granted option. Payment shall be made in common stock or in cash, or a combination of both, as determined by the board. The plan also allows for grants of other stock-based awards such as restricted stock purchase rights, phantom stock units, performance shares and performance share units.

Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors or provided for in a written agreement evidencing an award, awards granted under the 2004 stock incentive plan are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

In the event of a change of control, as defined in the stock incentive plan, other than dissolution, the board may provide for the (1) assumption or continuation of any stock awards outstanding under the plan, (2) issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve the terms of any awards, (3) payment in exchange for the cancellation of an award or (4) termination of an award upon the consummation of the change of control, but only if the participant has been permitted to exercise or redeem an option or stock appreciation right prior to the change of control. Furthermore, at any time the board may provide for the acceleration of exercisability and/or vesting of an award.

Our board of directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the stock incentive plan in any respect at any time, but no amendment may materially impair any of the rights of a participant under any awards previously granted, without his/her consent.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Our deferred compensation plan, or DCP, historically has permitted a select group of management employees, as well as other highly compensated employees, to elect, immediately prior to the beginning of each calendar year, to defer receipt of some or all of their compensation for the next year generally either after his or her employment with us ends or until a future distribution date at least three years after the deferred election date, and have it credited to one or more of several funds in the DCP. The investment alternatives available to participants in connection with their deferrals include two interest index funds and an insurance fund in which

Index to Financial Statements

gains and losses on deferrals are measured by one or more of approximately 30 mutual funds. In addition, prior to our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, participants were entitled to invest their deferrals in stock fund units that entitled the participants to receive future distributions of shares of our common stock, which stock fund units now represent the right to receive future distributions of shares of CB Richard Ellis Group common stock. As of May 31, 2004, there were 3,129,279 shares underlying outstanding stock fund units under the DCP, of which 1,948,133 had vested, which shares are issuable in connection with future distributions under the plan pursuant to the elections made by plan participants or distributions by us. The deferred compensation plan permits participants to elect in-service distributions, which may not begin less than three years following the election and post-employment distributions. There is limited flexibility to change distribution elections once made. A participant may elect to receive a distribution of his or her vested accounts at any time subject to a charge equal to 7.5% of the amount to be distributed.

Effective January 1, 2004, we closed the DCP to new participants. Currently the DCP is accepting compensation deferrals from participants who have a balance, meet the eligibility requirements and elect to participate, up to a maximum annual contribution amount of $250,000 per participant. As permitted by its terms, we expect to terminate the DCP shortly after the offering is completed and adopt a new deferred compensation plan. The existing deferrals under the interest index funds and the insurance fund in the DCP will be paid to participants in the future according to their existing deferral elections under the plan. With respect to existing deferrals in stock fund units, we expect that substantially all of the shares of common stock underlying such units will be distributed to participants in distributions initiated by us during October of 2004.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a tax qualified 401(k) retirement plan. Generally, our employees are eligible to participate in the plan if they are at least 21 years old. The plan provides for participant contributions, as well as discretionary contributions by us. A participant is allowed to contribute to the plan from 1% to 50% of his or her compensation, subject to limits imposed by applicable law. Each year, we determine an amount of employer contributions that we will contribute, if any, to the plan based on the performance and profitability of our consolidated U.S. operations. Our contributions for a year are allocated to participants who are actively employed on the last day of the plan year in proportion to each participant’s pre-tax contributions for that year, up to 5% of the participant’s compensation.

In connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, participants were entitled to make a one-time election to invest in shares of our common stock to be credited to their account balance within the plan, which shares continue to be held in the plan. Since the 2001 acquisition, participants have not been entitled to purchase additional shares of our common stock for allocation to their account balance. We expect to amend the plan, effective shortly after completion of the offering, to allow participants in the plan to transfer their account balances into and out of shares of our common stock, as well as to purchase additional shares of our common stock in connection with future deferrals under the plan.

A participant may elect to receive a distribution from the plan in a single lump sum payment of his or her account balance following termination of the participant’s employment with us. However, if the participant has an account balance in our common stock fund, the participant may receive all or a portion of his or her balance in that fund either in shares or in cash. We expect to amend the plan, effective shortly after completion of the offering, to provide that participants thereafter may only receive their account balances in the common stock fund in cash.

Mr. Froggatt’s agreement generally provides that (1) he will not engage, assist or have an interest in any undertaking which provides services similar to those provided by us or our affiliates in the United Kingdom for a period of one year following termination of his employment, (2) he will not employ, solicit or engage any person who was a senior executive or consultant of us or our affiliates for a period of one year following termination of his employment and (3) he will not solicit or interfere with or endeavor to entice away from us or our affiliates any person, firm, company or entity in the United Kingdom who was a client of us or our affiliates for a period of one year following termination of his employment.

Each of the following provisions apply prior to the completion of the offering but will terminate simultaneously with the completion of the offering:

Designation of Directors and Board Observers. The agreement provides that, prior to the offering, the parties to the agreement that own shares of our Class B common stock, which consist of the stockholders in the first six bullet points above, will vote all of the shares of our voting capital stock they own to elect to our board of directors individuals designated as follows:

As a result, prior to the completion of the offering, on most matters to be decided by our stockholders, our stockholders affiliated with Blum Capital Partners are able to control the outcome. The agreement also provides that the consent of our director designated by the stockholders affiliated with Freeman Spogli is required before we are able to take certain actions, including, subject to exceptions, incurring certain indebtedness, consummating certain acquisitions or dispositions and issuing stock or options to our employees.

Also prior to completion of the offering, the securityholders’ agreement includes restrictions on transfers of shares by the stockholder parties to the agreement, as well as provisions regarding a right of first offer for potential sales and co-sales of shares and required sale rights applicable in connection with sale transactions involving our shares and participation rights regarding future issuances of our shares of common stock.

Other Rights. Prior to the offering, each of our stockholders that is a party to this agreement generally has the right to receive specified annual, quarterly and monthly financial information about us and is able to inspect our books, records and properties and to discuss our affairs, finances and accounts with our officers and independent auditor.

Immediately after completion of the offering, these stockholders, collectively, will beneficially own approximately 56.3% of our outstanding common stock.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Wirta’s employment agreement with us that he entered into in 2001, we agreed to loan Mr. Wirta up to $3.0 million on a full-recourse basis to enable him to exercise an existing option to acquire shares held by The Koll Holding Company if Mr. Wirta were employed by us at the time of exercise, were terminated without cause or resigned for good reason and the shares he would receive upon such exercise would not be freely tradable on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market by June 2004. Mr. Wirta exercised his option on April 8, 2004 and, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, we loaned Mr. Wirta $3.0 million on that date. Mr. Wirta’s shares will not be freely tradable on a national securities exchange or on an over-the-counter market by June 2004 as a result of transfer restrictions applicable to Mr. Wirta’s shares. This loan is repayable upon the earliest to occur of the following: (1) 90 days following termination of his employment, other than by us without cause or by him for good reason, (2) seven months following the date Mr. Wirta’s shares of common stock are freely tradable as described above and (3) the receipt of proceeds from the sale of the pledged shares described below. This loan bears interest at 4% per year, which was the prime rate in effect on the date of the loan, compounded annually, and is repayable to the extent of any net proceeds received by Mr. Wirta upon the sale of any shares of our common stock. Mr. Wirta pledged the shares received upon exercise of the option as security for the loan.

As a result of this conversion and the automatic “cashless exercise” of warrants described below, after the completion of the offering, 68,614,001 shares of Class A common stock will be outstanding and no shares of Class B common stock will be outstanding. Immediately after the completion of the offering, we expect to amend and restate our certificate of incorporation to eliminate the authorized shares of Class B common stock. As a result, we do not expect to be able to issue shares of our Class B common stock after completion of the offering.

Prior to Completion of the Offering

Voting Rights. Each share of Class A common stock entitles the holder to one vote in all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Each share of Class B common stock entitles the holder to ten votes in all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of Class A common stock and the holders of Class B common stock vote together on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. In the event that any amendment to the certificate of incorporation is proposed that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of either class of our common stock so as to affect them adversely, we must obtain the approval of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the outstanding shares of the class affected by the proposed amendment. In addition, the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock may be increased or decreased, but not below the number of shares then outstanding, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of our outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Dividends. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends that may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event that a dividend or distribution is paid or distributed with respect to one class of common stock, a simultaneous dividend or distribution must be paid or distributed on the other class and in the same proportion. However, in the case of dividends or other distributions payable in common stock, only shares of Class A common stock would be paid or distributed with respect to Class A common stock and only shares of Class B common stock would be paid or distributed with respect to Class B common stock. We may not subdivide or combine shares of either class of our common stock without at the same time proportionally subdividing or combining shares of the other class.

Changes in Capitalization. In the event there is an increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock resulting from any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of our common stock, or any other similar event resulting in an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of common stock, the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the outstanding shares of Class B common stock must be adjusted in the same manner.

Optional Conversion. As long as shares of Class B common stock are outstanding, a holder of Class B common stock may at any time convert any shares of Class A common stock the holder owns, in whole or in part, on a share for share basis into the same number of shares of Class B common stock. A holder of Class B common stock may at any time convert any shares of Class B common stock it owns, in whole or in part, on a share for share basis into the same number of shares of Class A common stock. In the event of a transfer of shares of Class B common stock to any person or entity other than a permitted transferee, each share of Class B common stock so transferred will be converted automatically into one share of Class A common stock. For the purposes of a transfer of capital stock, the permitted transferees include affiliates of Blum Capital Partners, any person or entity that owned Class B common stock at the effective time of our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services and any single person or entity to which a current Class B common stock holder transfers its right to be a permitted holder and all of its Class B common stock.

Automatic Conversion. Each share of Class B common stock converts automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon completion of the offering.

Mergers and Other Business Combinations. Subject to the next sentence, unless otherwise approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the outstanding shares of Class B common stock, each voting separately as a class, all shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to receive equally on a per share basis the same kind and amount of consideration in the event of any merger, reorganization or consolidation of us with any company. In the event that one or more of the other corporations or entities that is a party to a merger or similar transaction with us deems it necessary for the merger to be treated as a recapitalization for financial accounting purposes and for us to no longer be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 14 of the Exchange Act after the closing date of the merger, then, solely to the extent deemed necessary by the other corporation or entity to satisfy these requirements, the kind of consideration that a holder of a share of Class A common stock would be entitled to receive may be different than the kind of consideration that a holder of a share of Class B common stock would be entitled to receive.

Liquidation. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities.

After Completion of the Offering

Voting Rights. Holders of our Class A common stock generally will be entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which our stockholders are entitled to vote. The holders of Class A common stock will not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Dividends. Holders of our Class A common stock will be entitled to receive ratably dividends if, as and when declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, after payment of dividends required to be paid on any outstanding preferred stock, as described below. Our senior credit facilities and indentures impose restrictions on our ability to declare dividends with respect to our Class A common stock.

Liquidation Rights. Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the holders of our Class A common stock will be entitled to receive ratably the assets available for distribution to our stockholders after payment of liabilities and accrued but unpaid dividends and liquidation preferences on any outstanding preferred stock.

Other Matters. Our Class A common stock will not have preemptive or conversion rights and will not be subject to further calls or assessment by us. There will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our Class A common stock.

Preferred Stock

In our restated certificate of incorporation that we expect to file prior to completion of the offering, our board of directors will be authorized, subject to any limitations imposed by law, without the approval of our stockholders, to issue from time to time up to a total of 25,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, in one or more series, with each such series having rights and preferences, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as our board of directors may determine. The issuance of our preferred stock, while potentially providing us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Warrants

In connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, we issued to our stockholders affiliated with Freeman Spogli a warrant to acquire, subject to customary anti-dilution provisions, 708,019 shares of our Class B common stock at an exercise price of $10.825 per share in exchange for the cancellation of previously outstanding warrants to acquire 364,884 shares of CB Richard Ellis Services common stock. These warrants may be exercised at the option of the holders on August 26 and 27, 2007 either by delivery of the exercise price in cash or by a “cashless exercise.” These warrants are exercised automatically on a “cashless” basis in connection with specified triggering events, one of which is the completion of an underwritten initial public offering of our common stock that results in our common stock being listed on either the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market. In connection with any “cashless exercise,” instead of payment of the exercise price in cash, the stockholders affiliated with Freeman Spogli surrender their warrant certificates and receive a net amount of shares of our common stock based on the fair market value of our common stock at the time of the exercise of the warrants, after deducting the aggregate exercise price. Accordingly, in connection with the completion of the offering, these warrants will automatically be exercised and we will issue an aggregate of 304,634 shares to our stockholders affiliated with Freeman Spogli.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a securityholders’ agreement, the other terms of which are described under the heading “Related Party Transactions—Securityholders’ Agreement,” we have granted registration rights to our stockholders that are parties to that agreement.

Demand Registrations. As a result of these registration rights, after we have completed this offering and upon the expiration or earlier waiver of the lock-up period imposed by the underwriters, we can be required by some of our stockholders to effect additional registration statements, or “demand registrations,” registering the securities held by the stockholder for sale under the Securities Act of 1933. Under this agreement, our stockholders affiliated with Blum Capital Partners may request six demand registrations and our stockholders affiliated with Freeman Spogli may request three demand registrations. After completion of the offering, these stockholders will beneficially own 36,195,457 shares of our common stock. If a demand registration is underwritten and the managing underwriter advises us that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, priority of inclusion in the demand registration generally is such that the stockholder initiating the demand registration receives first priority.

Piggyback Registrations. In addition to our obligations with respect to demand registrations, if we propose to register any of our securities, other than a registration relating to our employee benefit plans or a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, whether or not the registration is for our own account, we are required to give each of our stockholders that is party to the securityholders’ agreement the opportunity to participate, or “piggyback,” in the registration. These piggyback registration rights apply in the

111

Index to Financial Statements

offering because affiliates of Blum Capital Partners are selling shares in the offering. If a piggyback registration is underwritten and the managing underwriter advises us that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, priority of inclusion in the demand registration generally is such that we receive first priority with respect to the shares we are issuing and selling.

Other Registration Provisions. The registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations, among them the right of the underwriters of an offering subject to the registration to limit the number of shares included in the offering. We generally are required to pay the registration expenses in connection with both demand and piggyback registrations. A stockholder’s registration rights will terminate if we have completed an initial public offering of our common stock, the stockholder holds less than 0.5% of our outstanding common stock and the stockholder is entitled to sell all of its shares in any 90-day period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. For additional information regarding sales under Rule 144, see the description under the heading titled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale—Sale of Restricted Shares.”

Anti-Dilution Agreement

In connection with the 2001 issuance and sale of our 16% senior notes due 2011, we issued an aggregate of 941,764 shares of our Class A common stock to the purchasers of the senior notes. On July 20, 2001, we also issued 504,462 shares of our Class A common stock to the affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC that originally committed to purchase our 16% senior notes. In connection with these issuances we entered into an anti-dilution agreement pursuant to which these stockholders have the right to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock for $0.01 per share upon the occurrence of specified events.

These specified events include any issuance of shares of our common stock or options, warrants or other securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of our common stock, in each case, at a price that is less than the “current market price” per share of our common stock. The “current market price” per share of any class of our common stock at any date generally is the average of the quoted price of our common stock on a securities exchange for 30 consecutive trading days commencing 45 trading days before the date in question. If our shares are not listed on a securities exchange on the date in question, then the “current market price” would be determined by our board of directors, which determination in some cases must based upon a valuation by an unaffiliated nationally-recognized investment banking or appraisal firm. With respect to issuances of stock options by us, the “current market price” (1) prior to an initial public offering of our common stock may be determined by our board of directors in good faith and (2) after an initial public offering is determined based upon the quoted price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant of the option.

The right of these stockholders to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the anti-dilution agreement is subject to important exceptions, which include issuances of common stock pursuant to bona fide public offerings and issuances of common stock pursuant to certain employee stock purchase programs.

If we consolidate or merge with or into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to, any person, and in connection with such transaction the holders receive common stock of another entity or option, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchange for common stock of another entity, then upon consummation of such transaction, the right to purchase additional shares of our common stock under this agreement will automatically become applicable to the common stock of the other entity.

No adjustment in the number of shares held by these stockholders is required to be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of shares held by these stockholders. Any such adjustments that are not made are carried forward and taken into account in determining any subsequent adjustments.

112

Index to Financial Statements

The anti-dilution agreement terminates on July 20, 2011 and, with respect to each of the shares of our Class A common stock subject to such agreement, the agreement also terminates at such time as such share has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC or pursuant to Rule 144 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated By-Laws

Certain provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and restated by-laws may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

Our restated by-laws provide that stockholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring business before a meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice of their proposal in writing to the corporate secretary. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to, in the case of annual meetings, the first anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting and, in the case of special meetings, the date of such special meeting. Our restated by-laws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may impede stockholders’ ability to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or make nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

Amendments

Our restated certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors the authority to amend and repeal our by-laws without a stockholder vote in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or our certificate of incorporation.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors may not be held liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except to the extent the exemption from, or limitation of, liability is not permitted under Delaware law.

Our certificate of incorporation also provides that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affective to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation prior to May 4, 2004, we had “opted out” of the protections of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In our restated certificate of incorporation that we filed, and that became effective, on May 4, 2004, we “opted in” to Section 203. Subject to specified exceptions, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. “Business combinations” include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the “interested stockholder.” Subject to various exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. These restrictions generally prohibit or delay the accomplishment of mergers or other takeover or change-in control attempts. However, in connection with our “opt in,” our stockholders that currently own 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, including affiliates of Blum Capital Partners, L.P. and affiliates of Freeman Spogli & Co. Incorporated, are not considered “interested stockholders” under Section 203.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for our Class A common stock is The Bank of New York located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York, 10286 and its telephone number is (212) 815-3776.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there was no market for our common stock. We can make no predictions as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of significant amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices and impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity at a time and price we deem appropriate.

Sale of Restricted Shares and Shares Held by Affiliates

Upon completion of the offering, we will have 68,614,001 shares of common stock outstanding, based upon the total number of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of May 31, 2004. In addition, as of May 31, 2004, 10,016,974 shares of common stock were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or in connection with distributions pursuant to our deferred compensation plan. Of the outstanding shares after completion of the offering, all of the 24,000,000 shares sold in the offering and 1,110,407 of our other currently outstanding shares held by our current and former employees and consultants immediately will be freely tradable without further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares held by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, may be sold only in compliance with the limitations under Rule 144 as described below. The remaining outstanding shares of our common stock after completion of the offering will be deemed “restricted securities,” as that term is defined under Rule 144. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 under the Securities Act, which rules are described below. Although the shares held by our current and former employees and consultants currently are subject to transfer restriction agreements with us, we expect to waive some or all of these contractual restrictions prior to the completion of the offering and, in the event of such waivers, such stockholders will be able to sell their shares after the offering, in each case subject to any lock-up agreements with the underwriters described below and subject to such shares being registered under the Securities Act or otherwise being sold pursuant to Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 under the Securities Act.

The restricted shares and the shares held by our affiliates will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

•

87,498 shares will be eligible for immediate sale on the date of this prospectus because such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k);

•

182,069 shares will be eligible for sale at various times beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus pursuant to Rules 144, 144(k) and 701; and

•

42,234,027 shares subject to the lock-up agreements will be eligible for sale at various time beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus pursuant to Rules 144, 144(k) and 701.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any person (or persons whose shares must be aggregated), including an affiliate of ours, who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell in any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

•

1% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock, which will be approximately 0.7 million shares immediately after completion of the offering; and

•

the average weekly reported volume of trading of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed pursuant to Rule 144, subject to restrictions.

115

Index to Financial Statements

Sales under Rule 144 also must be sold only through “brokers’ transactions” or in transactions directly with a “market maker,” as those terms are defined in Rule 144. In addition, sales under Rule 144 are subject to notice requirements and the availability of current public information concerning us for at least 90 days after completion of the offering.

Rule 144(k)

A person (or persons whose shares must be aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years would be entitled to sell those shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume, manner of sale, notice or public information requirements of Rule 144 described above.

Rule 701

Certain of our current and former employees and consultants who acquired their shares in connection with awards pursuant to our 2001 stock incentive plan, which is a written compensatory plan, are entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701 under the Securities Act. Under Rule 701, these stockholders, whether or not they are our affiliates, are permitted to sell the shares subject to Rule 701 without having to comply with the Rule 144 holding period restrictions, in each case commencing 90 days after the date of this prospectus. In addition, non-affiliates may sell their Rule 701 shares without complying with the volume, notice or public information requirements of Rule 144 described above.

Registrations on Form S-8

We intend to file registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933 to register shares of common stock issuable under our 2001 stock incentive plan, our deferred compensation plan and our 2004 stock incentive plan. These registration statements are expected to be filed shortly after the date of this prospectus and will be effective upon filing. As a result, after the effective date of these Form S-8 registration statements, shares issued pursuant to our 2001 stock incentive plan and our 2004 stock incentive plan, including upon the exercise of stock options, and shares issued pursuant to our deferred compensation plan will be eligible for resale in the public market without restriction, subject to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates described above and the lock-up agreements described below.

As of May 31, 2004:

•

6,887,698 shares of common stock were reserved pursuant to our 2001 stock incentive plan for future issuance in connection with the exercise of outstanding options previously awarded under this plan, and options with respect to 1,620,540 of shares had vested;

•

6,928,406 shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance pursuant to our 2004 stock incentive plan, none of which have been awarded under this plan; and

•

3,129,279 shares of common stock were underlying stock fund units under our deferred compensation plan and are issuable in connection with future distributions under the plan pursuant to the elections made by plan participants, with 1,948,133 shares underlying stock fund units that are no longer subject to any vesting requirements under the plan.

With respect to the foregoing as of May 31, 2004, the parties who have signed lock-up agreements with the underwriters held options to acquire 1,770,719 shares of our common stock, of which 386,811 had vested, and stock fund units with 97,876 underlying shares, of which 85,405 had vested.

In addition to the vested options as of May 31, 2004, additional options to purchase approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock will vest on or prior to September 16, 2004.

116

Index to Financial Statements

As permitted by its terms, we expect to terminate our deferred compensation plan shortly after the offering is completed and adopt a new deferred compensation plan. With respect to existing deferrals in stock fund units under the plan, we expect that substantially all of the shares of common stock underlying such units will be distributed to participants in distributions initiated by us during October of 2004.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN LONG-TERM INDEBTEDNESS

CB Richard Ellis Services’ Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, CB Richard Ellis Services entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders for which Credit Suisse First Boston, or CSFB, serves as the administrative agent and collateral agent. The credit agreement was amended as of the closing of the offering of our 9¾% senior notes on May 22, 2003 to permit the issuance of the 9³/4% senior notes and was amended and restated upon the consummation of the Insignia acquisition on July 23, 2003. On October 14, 2003, CB Richard Ellis Services amended and restated the credit agreement a second time. On April 23, 2004, we entered into an amendment to the current amended and restated credit agreement that includes a waiver generally permitting us to prepay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire up to $30.0 million of our existing indebtedness and provides for the amendment and restatement of our credit agreement upon the completion of the offering. CB Richard Ellis Services’ senior secured credit facilities, as set forth in our new amended and restated credit agreement, will consist of a $295.0 million term loan facility and a $90.0 million revolving credit facility. We expect that the new amended and restated credit agreement also will include an incremental revolving facility of $60.0 million. Our new amended and restated credit agreement also will permit us to increase the term facility by up to $25.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions.

The senior secured credit facilities are jointly and severally guaranteed by us and substantially all of CB Richard Ellis Services’ domestic subsidiaries, including future domestic subsidiaries. The senior secured credit facilities are secured by a pledge of all of the equity interests of CB Richard Ellis Services and its significant domestic subsidiaries, including CB Richard Ellis, Inc., CBRE Investors, L.L.C., L.J. Melody & Company, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia/ESG, Inc., which was renamed CB Richard Ellis Real Estate Services, Inc., and 65% of the voting stock of its foreign subsidiaries that are held directly by it or its domestic subsidiaries. Additionally, these lenders generally have a lien on substantially all of our accounts receivable, cash, general intangibles, investment property and future acquired property.

Pursuant to our new amended and restated credit agreement, the term loan facility will mature on March 31, 2010 and will amortize in equal quarterly installments of $2.95 million through December 31, 2009, with the balance payable on the maturity date. The $90.0 million revolving credit facility will terminate on July 20, 2007. However, in connection with the $60.0 million incremental revolving credit facility that we expect to implement (which we expect would terminate on March 31, 2009), we have requested that the lenders under the $90.0 million revolving credit facility agree to extend its termination date to March 31, 2010. In the event of an increase in the term loan facility, the increased amount of such facility will mature at the same time or later as the remainder of the facility, depending upon the agreement we reach with the lenders for such increased facility.

Pursuant to our new amended and restated credit agreement, borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities will bear interest at the following rates:

•

Term loan facility — at CB Richard Ellis Services’ option, either LIBOR plus 2.25% to 2.50% or the alternate base rate, as defined below, plus 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case as determined by reference to the credit rating assigned to such facility by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s;

•

$90.0 million revolving credit facility — at CB Richard Ellis Services’ option, either LIBOR plus 3.00% to 3.75% or the alternate base rate plus 2.00% to 2.75%, in each case as determined by reference to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA, as such terms are defined in the credit agreement;

•

Up to $25.0 million incremental term loan facility — depending upon the agreement we reach with the lenders for any such facility, either the rate for the term loan facility described above or a higher or lower rate; and

•

$60.0 million incremental revolving credit facility — at CB Richard Ellis Services’ option, either LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.50% or the alternative base rate plus 1.00% to 1.50%, in each case as determined by references to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA.

118

Index to Financial Statements

We are required to pay to the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, including the $60.0 million incremental facility, and a letter of credit fee on each letter of credit outstanding. We are also required to apply certain proceeds of sales of assets, issuances of equity, incurrences of debt and excess cash flow to the prepayment of the term loan.

The amended and restated credit agreement for the senior secured credit facilities contains customary restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on the ability of us and our subsidiaries to pay dividends on, redeem and repurchase capital stock; prepay, redeem and repurchase debt; incur liens; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; make loans and investments; incur indebtedness; enter into mergers, acquisitions and asset sales; enter into transactions with affiliates; change lines of business; and make capital expenditures. The new amended and restated credit agreement, among other things, generally will amend the restrictive covenant regarding prepayment, redemption and repurchase of debt to permit us to use the net proceeds we receive from the offering in the manner described in this prospectus, including the redemption of $38.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes due 2011 and $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9¾% senior notes due 2010 and the prepayment of $16.9 million in principal amount of our term loan.

In addition, the amended and restated credit agreement contains covenants that require us to maintain specified financial ratios, which include the following ratios: total debt less available cash to EBITDA; total senior secured debt less available cash to EBITDA; EBITDA to interest expense plus expense associated with dividends paid to us to pay amounts due under the 16% senior notes due 2011; and EBITDA less capital expenditures and co-investments to interest expense plus expense associated with dividends paid to us to pay amounts due under the 16% senior notes due 2011.

The amended and restated credit agreement also includes customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties in any material respect, cross default and cross-acceleration to certain other indebtedness and agreements, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and liabilities, defaults or judgments under ERISA and change of control. The occurrence of any of the events of default could result in acceleration of our obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement and foreclosure on the collateral securing the obligations.

This summary of the material provisions of the amended and restated credit agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the amended and restated credit agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

CB Richard Ellis Services’ 9¾% Senior Notes Due 2010

On May 22, 2003, CBRE Escrow, Inc. issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9¾% senior notes due 2010 for $200.0 million. In connection with our acquisition of Insignia on July 23, 2003, CBRE Escrow merged into CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc., which assumed the 9¾% senior notes, and we and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries guaranteed the 9¾% senior notes. CB Richard Ellis Services’ 9¾% senior notes are its unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness but are effectively subordinated to all of our secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. They are also structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities of CB Richard Ellis Services’ subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. The 9¾% senior notes are governed by an indenture among CB Richard Ellis Services, us, the other guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

Interest accrues at a rate of 9¾% per year and is payable semiannually in arrears. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. There are no mandatory sinking fund payments for our 9¾% senior notes. We may at any time, and from time to time, purchase our 9¾% senior notes in the open

market or otherwise. We and certain of our subsidiaries guaranteed our 9¾% senior notes on a senior unsecured basis. These guarantees by the guarantors of the notes are pari passu to all of such guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness.

Until May 15, 2006, our 9¾% senior notes may be redeemed on one or more occasions in an amount not to exceed 35% of the principal amount of all issued 9¾% senior notes at a redemption price of 109¾%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with cash proceeds raised in certain public equity offerings, as long as:

•

at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of our 9¾% senior notes, including any additional 9¾% senior notes, remains outstanding after each redemption;

•

if the money is raised in an equity offering by us, we contribute to CB Richard Ellis Services an amount sufficient to redeem the 9¾% senior notes; and

•

the 9¾% senior notes are redeemed within 90 days after the completion of the related equity offering.

Pursuant to this provision of the indenture, we expect to use a portion of the net proceeds we receive from the offering to redeem $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9¾% senior notes due 2010, which also will require payment of a $6.8 million premium and accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption.

On and after May 15, 2007, all or a portion of our 9¾% senior notes will be redeemable at our option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice. The notes are redeemable at the redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount on the redemption date, set forth in the table below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing May 15 of the years below:


Year	Percentage
2007	104.875	%
2008	102.438
2009 and thereafter	100.000

In the event of a change of control, which is defined in the indenture governing the 9¾% senior notes, we will be obligated to make an offer to purchase all outstanding 9¾% senior notes at a redemption price of 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest, subject to certain conditions.

The indenture governing our 9¾% senior notes contains customary restrictive covenants for high yield securities, including, among others, limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on capital stock or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make investments; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us; sell stock of our subsidiaries; transfer or sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into mergers and consolidations.

On June 7, 2001, Blum CB Corp. issued $229.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11¼% senior subordinated notes due 2011 for $225.6 million.

CB Richard Ellis Group’s 16% Senior Notes Due 2011

In connection with our acquisition of CB Richard Ellis Services in 2001, we issued an aggregate of 65,000 units, which consisted in the aggregate of $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 16% senior notes due July 20, 2011 and 941,764 shares of our Class A common stock. The 16% senior notes are unsecured obligations, senior to all of our existing and future unsecured indebtedness but effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future indebtedness. The net proceeds from the units were contributed by us to CB Richard Ellis Services as equity. The 16% senior notes are governed by an indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A.), as trustee, and will mature on July 20, 2011. On October 27, 2003 and December 29, 2003, we redeemed $20.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of the 16% senior notes. We paid $2.9 million of premiums in connection with these redemptions. We expect to use the net proceeds that we receive from the offering to redeem all of the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 16% senior notes, which also will require payment of a $3.7 million premium and accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption.

Interest accrues on the 16% senior notes at a rate of 16% per year and is payable quarterly in cash in arrears. However, until the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the 16% senior notes, interest in excess of 12% for the 16% senior notes may be paid in kind and, at any time, interest may be paid in kind to the extent that CB Richard Ellis Services’ ability to pay cash dividends to us is restricted by the terms of the senior secured credit facilities, which are described above. There are no mandatory sinking fund payments for the 16% senior notes.

The 16% senior notes are redeemable at our option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice. The notes are redeemable at the redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount, set forth in the table below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing July 20 of the years below:


Year	Percentage
2003	109.6	%
2004	106.4
2005	103.2
2006 and thereafter	100.0

In the event of a change of control, which is defined in the indenture governing the 16% senior notes, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase all outstanding 16% senior notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 16% senior notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to various conditions.

The indenture governing our 16% senior notes contains customary restrictive covenants for high yield securities, which covenants are substantially the same as the covenants in the indenture governing our 9¾% senior notes.

CERTAIN U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following summary describes certain U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the ownership of our Class A common stock by a “non-U.S. holder,” as defined below, as of the date of this prospectus. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxes and does not deal with foreign, state and local consequences that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their personal circumstances. Special rules may apply to certain non-U.S. holders, such as U.S. expatriates, “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” “foreign personal holding companies,” corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, and investors in pass-through entities that are subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, which we refer to as the “Code.” These non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the U.S. federal, state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them. Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, and U.S. Treasury regulations, rulings and judicial decisions under the Code as of the date of this prospectus, and these authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences different from those discussed below. Persons considering the ownership of our Class A common stock should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

If a partnership holds our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons who are partners of partnerships holding our Class A common stock should consult their tax advisors.

As used in this section of the prospectus, a “non-U.S. holder” of our Class A common stock means a beneficial owner, other than an entity treated as a partnership, that is not any of the following for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual citizen or resident of the United States,

•

a corporation, or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any of its states or the District of Columbia,

•

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or

•

a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Dividends

Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder of our Class A common stock generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States and, where a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder, are not subject to the withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder of our Class A common stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends, will be required to (a) complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or other applicable form and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a U.S. person or (b) if the Class A common stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, satisfy the

123

Index to Financial Statements

relevant certification requirements of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are entities rather than individuals.

A non-U.S. holder of our Class A common stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service.

Gain on Disposition of Our Class A Common Stock

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock unless one of the following applies:

•

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the non-U.S. holder in the United States, and, where a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder,

•

in the case of a non-U.S. holder who is an individual and holds the Class A common stock as a capital asset, such holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met, or

•

we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

An individual non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States. If a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a U.S. person as defined under the Code and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

We believe we are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Federal Estate Tax

Class A common stock held by an individual non-U.S. holder at the time of death will be included in such holder’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

We must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder will be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder, and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a U.S. person, or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

124

Index to Financial Statements

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of our Class A common stock within the United States or conducted through U.S.-related financial intermediaries unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder, and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a U.S. person, or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

UNDERWRITING

Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting agreement dated June 9, 2004, we and the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to the underwriters named below, for whom Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. are acting as representatives, the following respective numbers of shares of common stock:


Underwriter		Number of Shares
Credit Suisse First Boston LLC		6,840,000
Citigroup Global Markets Inc.		6,840,000
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.		2,640,000
Lehman Brothers Inc.		2,640,000
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.		1,680,000
Goldman, Sachs & Co.		1,680,000
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated		1,680,000


Total		24,000,000

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated to purchase all the shares of common stock in the offering if any are purchased, other than those shares covered by the over-allotment option described below. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering may be terminated.

The selling stockholders have granted to the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase on a pro rata basis up to 3,600,000 additional outstanding shares from them at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The option may be exercised only to cover any over-allotments of common stock.

The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock initially at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to selling group members at that price less a selling concession of $0.684 per share. The underwriters and selling group members may allow a discount of $0.10 per share on sales to other broker/dealers. After the initial public offering, the representatives may change the public offering price and concession and discount to broker/dealers.

The following table summarizes the compensation and estimated expenses we and the selling stockholders will pay:


	Per Share				Total
	Without Over-allotment		With Over-allotment		Without Over-allotment		With Over-allotment
Underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us	$	1.14	$	1.14	$	8,808,511	$	8,808,511
Expenses payable by us	$	0.30	$	0.30	$	2,300,000	$	2,300,000
Underwriting discounts and commissions paid by the selling stockholders	$	1.14	$	1.14	$	18,551,489	$	22,655,489

Because Credit Suisse First Boston LLC is an underwriter and its affiliates may receive more than 10% of the entire net proceeds in this offering, they may be deemed to have a “conflict of interest” under Rule 2710(h) of the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules. Rule 2720 requires that the initial public offering price can be no higher than that recommended by a “qualified independent underwriter,” as defined by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has served in that capacity and performed due diligence investigations and reviewed and participated in the preparation of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We have agreed that we will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, relating to any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to specified exemptions.

Our directors, executive officers and certain of our other employees and stockholders, which together will beneficially own approximately 63.4% of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock immediately after the offering, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of our common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus.

Our shares of common stock have been authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CBG.” In order to meet one of the requirements for the listing of the common stock on the NYSE, the underwriters have undertaken to sell lots of 100 or more shares to a minimum of 2,000 beneficial owners.

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in that respect.

Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they received, or will receive, customary fees and expenses. In particular, Credit Suisse First Boston, an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, serves as the administrative agent and collateral agent for, and is a lender under, our senior secured credit facilities. See the information under the heading titled “Description of Certain Long-Term Indebtedness” for additional information regarding the terms of this indebtedness. Affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC also are the lenders with respect to 3.71% of the terms loan under our amended and restated credit agreement. We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds we receive from the offering to prepay $16.9 million in principal amount of the term loan. In addition, as of May 31, 2004, affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC were the beneficial owners of 1,990,790 shares, or approximately 3.3%, of our outstanding common stock. These affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC are selling a portion of their shares in the offering and will beneficially own approximately 2.1% of our common stock after the offering. See the information under the heading titled “Principal and Selling Stockholders” for additional information regarding their beneficial ownership. As of May 31, 2004, these affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC also owned approximately $34.8 million in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes due 2011, all of which we expect to redeem with the net proceeds we receive from the offering.

Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. acted as financial advisor to the special committee of Insignia’s board of directors in connection with our acquisition of Insignia in July 2003 and received customary fees and expenses from Insignia in such capacity.

L.J. Melody & Company, our wholly owned subsidiary, has a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., that provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $20.0 million and expires on May 28, 2004.

Prior to the offering, there has been no market for our common stock. The initial public offering price was determined by negotiation among us, the selling stockholders and the underwriters and will not necessarily

127

Index to Financial Statements

reflect the market price of the common stock following the offering. The principal factors that were considered in determining the public offering price included:

•

the information presented in this prospectus and otherwise available to the underwriters;

•

the history of and the prospects for the industry in which we will compete;

•

the ability of our management;

•

the prospects for our future earnings;

•

the present state of our development and our current financial condition;

•

the recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and

•

the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the offering.

We offer no assurances that the initial public offering price will correspond to the price at which the common stock will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for the common stock will develop and continue after the offering.

In connection with the offering the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

•

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

•

Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

•

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase shares in the offering.

•

Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTANTS

On April 23, 2002, we dismissed our independent auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP, and engaged the services of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our new independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Our board of directors and our audit committee authorized the dismissal of Arthur Andersen LLP and the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

Arthur Andersen LLP’s reports on CB Richard Ellis Group’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the period from CB Richard Ellis Group’s inception through the date of Arthur Andersen LLP’s dismissal did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the period from CB Richard Ellis Group’s inception through the date of Arthur Andersen’s dismissal, there were no (1) disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on CB Richard Ellis Group’s consolidated financial statements or (2) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On April 8, 2002, Ernst & Young was dismissed as Insignia’s principal independent accountant and, effective April 11, 2002, KPMG was retained as its principal independent accountant. The reports of Ernst & Young on Insignia’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was recommended by Insignia’s audit committee and approved by Insignia’s board of directors.

During the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and through April 8, 2002, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such periods.

1.	Nature of Operations

CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., formerly known as CBRE Holding, Inc. a Delaware corporation, offers a full range of services to occupiers, owners, lenders and investors in office, retail, industrial, multi-family and other commercial real estate assets globally under the “CB Richard Ellis” brand name. Our business is focused on several service competencies, including strategic advice and execution assistance for property leasing and sales, forecasting, valuations, origination and servicing of commercial mortgage loans, facilities and project management and real estate investment management. We generate revenues both on a per project or transaction basis and from annual management fees.

CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. was incorporated on February 20, 2001 and was created to acquire all of the outstanding shares of CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. (CBRE), an international real estate services firm. Prior to July 20, 2001, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Blum Strategic Partners, L.P., which is an affiliate of Richard C. Blum, a director of CBRE and our company.

On July 20, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of CBRE pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 31, 2001, among CBRE, Blum CB Corp. (Blum CB) and us. Blum CB was merged with and into CBRE with CBRE being the surviving corporation (the 2001 Merger). On July 23, 2003, our global position in the commercial real estate services industry was further solidified as CBRE acquired Insignia Financial Group, Inc.

2.	Insignia Acquisition

On July 23, 2003, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 28, 2003 (the Insignia Acquisition Agreement), by and among us, CBRE, Apple Acquisition Corp. (Apple Acquisition), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE, and Insignia Financial Group, Inc. (Insignia), Apple Acquisition was merged with and into Insignia (the Insignia Acquisition). Insignia was the surviving corporation in the Insignia Acquisition and at the effective time of the Insignia Acquisition became a wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE.

The aggregate preliminary purchase price for the acquisition of Insignia was approximately $328.6 million, which includes: (1) $267.9 million in cash paid for shares of Insignia’s outstanding common stock, at $11.156 per share, (2) $38.2 million in cash paid for Insignia’s outstanding Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock at $100.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (3) cash payments of $7.9 million to holders of Insignia’s vested and unvested warrants and options and (4) $14.6 million of direct costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, consisting mostly of legal and accounting fees.

The preliminary purchase accounting adjustments related to the Insignia Acquisition have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of, and for periods subsequent to, July 23, 2003. The final valuation of the net assets acquired is expected to be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Given the size and complexity of the acquisition, the fair valuation of certain assets is still preliminary. Additionally, adjustment to the estimated liabilities assumed in connection with the Insignia Acquisition may still be required.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we made the following adjustments to goodwill:

•

We assigned a $6.6 million estimated fair value to the broker draw asset acquired from Insignia. Based on our management’s estimates, we generally derive benefit from brokers participating in our draw program over two years. Accordingly, we estimate that we will derive benefit from the broker draw

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

asset related to Insignia’s brokers over two years from the date of the Insignia Acquisition and we will amortize it on a straight-line basis, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the broker draw asset are consumed, during that period. The allocation of purchase price to the broker draw asset, net of related tax impact, resulted in a $3.8 million decrease in goodwill and a related $1.4 million increase in net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2004, which includes a $0.8 million adjustment to correct the amortization taken for the period from the date of the Insignia Acquisition through December 31, 2003.

•

We recorded a $5.0 million increase to goodwill due to an increase in liabilities primarily related to additional lease termination costs, contract termination costs and severance payments in excess of amounts previously accrued. All such adjustments were recorded in accordance with the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” As of the consummation date of the acquisition of Insignia, our management began to assess and formulate a plan to close certain Insignia locations. Due to the size of this acquisition and the dispersed nature of Insignia’s operations, a significant amount of time and effort was required to finalize plans with respect to closures, analyze the provisions of contracts to be terminated and estimate the total exit costs. The adjustment during the first quarter of 2004 represents a change in estimate as we completed our assessments and finalized our plans with respect to certain of the locations. Consistent with the requirements of EITF 95-3, finalization of our plans for all Insignia closures will be completed within one year of the consummation date of the acquisition.

•

We recorded a $4.2 million increase to goodwill related to the sale of certain assets acquired in connection with the Insignia acquisition. Of this amount, $3.7 million represents a receivable due from a buyer, which will be relieved in the second quarter of 2004 as cash was received in May 2004 and will be applied to the balance. The remaining $500,000 adjustment reflects the sale of assets at an amount less than the value assigned in the preliminary purchase price allocation. As no event occurred during the period from the acquisition date to the sale date that would have impacted the value of these assets, our management concluded that the amount at which these assets were ultimately sold represents the best estimate of the value of these assets at the date of the Insignia Acquisition.

The Insignia Acquisition gave rise to the consolidation and elimination of some Insignia duplicate facilities and Insignia redundant employees as well as the termination of certain contracts as a result of a change of control of Insignia. As a result, the Company has accrued certain liabilities in accordance with EITF No. 95-3. These liabilities assumed in connection with the Insignia Acquisition consist of the following (dollars in thousands):


	2003 Charge To Goodwill		2004 Adjustments			Utilized To Date			To be Utilized
Severance	$	30,706	$	162		$	(14,762	)	$	16,106
Lease termination costs		28,922		2,969			(5,102	)		26,789

3.	Basis of Presentation

The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 include a full quarter of activity for Insignia. However, the consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 do not include any activity of Insignia, as the Insignia Acquisition occurred on July 23, 2003. As such, our consolidated financial statements after the Insignia Acquisition are not directly comparable to our financial statements prior to the Insignia Acquisition.

Pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2003, assuming the Insignia Acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2003, are presented below. These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include adjustments, such as increased amortization expense as a result of intangible assets acquired in the Insignia Acquisition, as well as higher interest expense as a result of debt incurred to finance the Insignia Acquisition. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been had the Insignia Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2003, and may not be indicative of future operating results (dollars in thousands, except share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2003
Revenue	$	393,624
Operating loss		(39,078	)
Net loss		(31,751	)
Basic and diluted loss per share		(0.51	)

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules applicable to Form S-1 and include all information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated, and certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform with the current period presentation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

4.	New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” This standard clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” and addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risk among the parties involved. This statement is immediately effective for variable interest entities created or in which an enterprise obtains an interest after January 31, 2003.

scope of FIN 46R and delays the effective date of the revised standard to no later than the end of the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003 for special purpose entities and March 15, 2004 for all other types of entities. The adoption of this interpretation has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

5.	Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2003, we accounted for stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”

In the fourth quarter of 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2003, as permitted by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.”

In accordance with SFAS No. 123, we estimate the value of our options based upon the “Minimum Value” method. Option valuation models require the input of assumptions such as the expected stock price volatility. As our common stock was not freely tradable on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market during the periods presented in these financial statements, an effectively zero percent volatility was utilized. The dividend yield is also excluded from the calculation, as it is our present intention to retain all earnings.

Option valuation models require the input of subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the minimum value estimate, we do not believe that the minimum value model necessarily provides a reliable single measure of the minimum value of our employee stock options.

6.	Restricted Cash

Included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, is restricted cash of $15.2 million and $14.9 million, respectively, which primarily consists of cash pledged to secure the guarantee of notes issued in connection with previous acquisitions by Insignia in the United Kingdom (UK).

In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” trademarks of $63.7 million were separately identified as a result of the 2001 Merger. As a result of the Insignia Acquisition, a $19.8 million trade name was separately identified, which represents the Richard Ellis trade name in the UK that was owned by Insignia prior to the Insignia Acquisition. Both the trademarks and the trade name have indefinite useful lives and accordingly are not being amortized.

Backlog represents the fair value of Insignia’s net revenue backlog as of July 23, 2003, which was acquired as part of the Insignia Acquisition. The backlog consists of the net commissions receivable on Insignia’s revenue producing transactions, which were at various stages of completion prior to the Insignia Acquisition. This intangible asset is being amortized as cash is received or upon final closing of these pending transactions.

Management contracts are primarily comprised of property management contracts in the United States (US), the UK, France and other European operations, as well as valuation services and fund management contracts in the UK. These management contracts are being amortized over estimated useful lives of up to ten years.

Loan servicing rights represent the fair value of servicing assets in our mortgage banking line of business in the US, the majority of which were acquired as part of the 2001 Merger. The loan servicing rights are being amortized over estimated useful lives of up to ten years.

Other amortizable intangible assets represent other intangible assets acquired as a result of the Insignia Acquisition including an intangible asset recognized for other non-contractual revenue acquired in the US as well as franchise agreements and a trade name in France. These other intangible assets are being amortized over estimated useful lives of up to 20 years.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $8.6 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending December 31, 2008 approximates $20.4 million, $6.5 million, $4.9 million, $4.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Debt

In order to partially fund the 2001 Merger, we entered into a credit agreement with Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) and other lenders and borrowed $235.0 million of term loans on July 20, 2001. To partially fund the Insignia Acquisition in 2003, we amended and restated this credit agreement and borrowed an aggregate of an additional $75.0 million of term loans on July 23, 2003. On October 14, 2003, we refinanced all of the outstanding loans under our amended and restated credit agreement. As part of this refinancing, we entered into a new amended and restated credit agreement. The prior credit facilities were, and the current amended and restated credit facilities, continue to be, jointly and severally guaranteed by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets. Additionally, the credit agreement required, and after the amendment and restatement continues to require, us to pay a facility fee based on the total amount of the unused commitment.

The existing amended and restated credit agreement includes the following: (1) a term loan facility of $300.0 million, which requires quarterly principal payments of $2.5 million through September 30, 2008 and matures on December 31, 2008; and (2) a $90.0 million revolving credit facility, including revolving credit loans, letters of credit and a swingline loan facility, maturing on July 20, 2007. The revolving credit facility requires the repayment of any outstanding balance for a period of 45 consecutive days commencing on any day in the month of December of each year as determined by us. We repaid our revolving credit facility as of July 23, 2003 and at December 31, 2003 we had no revolving line of credit principal outstanding. As of March 31, 2004, we had $13.3 million of revolving line of credit principal outstanding, which is included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest at varying rates based, at our option, on either LIBOR plus 3.25% or the alternate base rate plus 2.25%. The alternate base rate is the higher of (1) CSFB’s prime rate or (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one-half of one percent. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at varying rates based on our option, on either the applicable LIBOR plus 3.00% to 3.75% or the alternate base rate plus 2.00% to 2.75%, in both cases as determined by reference to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA, which are defined in the amended and restated credit agreement. The total amount outstanding under the term loan facility included in senior secured term loan and current maturities of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $295.0 million and $297.5 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

On May 22, 2003, CBRE Escrow, Inc. (CBRE Escrow), a wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE, issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9¾% senior notes due May 15, 2010. The proceeds of this issuance

were placed in escrow pending the completion of the Insignia Acquisition on July 23, 2003, on which date the proceeds were released from escrow in order to partially fund the acquisition. CBRE Escrow merged with and into CBRE, and CBRE assumed all obligations with respect to the 9¾% senior notes. The 9¾% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE, senior to all of its current and future unsecured indebtedness, but subordinated to all of CBRE’s current and future secured indebtedness. The 9¾% senior notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Interest accrues at a rate of 9¾% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. The 9¾% senior notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, on or after May 15, 2007 at 104.875% of par on that date and at declining prices thereafter. In addition, before May 15, 2006, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the originally issued amount of the 9¾% senior notes at 109¾% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, solely with the net cash proceeds from public equity offerings. In the event of a change of control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase the 9¾% senior notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the 9¾% senior notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $200.0 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

In order to partially finance the 2001 Merger, Blum CB issued $229.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11¼% senior subordinated notes due June 15, 2011 for approximately $225.6 million, net of discount, on June 7, 2001. CBRE assumed all obligations with respect to the 11¼% senior subordinated notes in connection with the 2001 Merger. The 11¼% senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. The 11¼% senior subordinated notes require semi-annual payments of interest in arrears on June 15 and December 15 and are redeemable in whole or in part on or after June 15, 2006 at 105.625% of par on that date and at declining prices thereafter. In addition, before June 15, 2004, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the originally issued amount of the notes at 111¼% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, solely with the net cash proceeds from public equity offerings. In the event of a change of control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase the 11¼% senior subordinated notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the 11¼% senior subordinated notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized discount, was $226.2 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Also in connection with the 2001 Merger, we issued $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 16% senior notes due July 20, 2011. The 16% senior notes are unsecured obligations, senior to all of our current and future unsecured indebtedness but subordinated to all of our current and future secured indebtedness. Interest accrues at a rate of 16.0% per year and is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest may be paid in kind to the extent our ability to pay cash dividends is restricted by the terms of our amended and restated credit agreement. Additionally, interest in excess of 12.0% may, at our option, be paid in kind through July 2006. We elected to pay in kind the interest in excess of 12.0%, that was payable on April 20, 2002, July 20, 2002, October 20, 2002, January 20, 2003 and April 20, 2003. In the event of a change in control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase all of our outstanding 16% senior notes at 101.0% of par. In addition, under the terms of the indenture governing the 16% senior notes, the notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at 116.0% of par commencing on July 20, 2001 and at declining prices thereafter. However, the restricted payments covenant in our amended and restated credit agreement prevents us from purchasing or redeeming the 16% senior notes unless the purchase or redemption falls within the specified exceptions to the covenant. On October 27, 2003 and December 29, 2003, we redeemed $20.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of our 16% senior notes pursuant to these exceptions. We paid $2.9 million of premiums in connection with these redemptions. The amount of the 16% senior notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized discount, was $35.8 million and $35.5 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

During 2001, a joint venture that we consolidate incurred $37.2 million of non-recourse debt to acquire a real estate investment in Japan. The debt is secured by a mortgage on the acquired real estate asset. In our accompanying consolidated balance sheets, this debt comprised $42.6 million and $41.8 million of our other long-term debt as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2003, this joint venture incurred an additional $1.9 million of non-recourse mortgage debt with a maturity date of June 15, 2004. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, $2.0 million of this non-recourse debt is included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

We had short-term borrowings of $113.8 million and $270.1 million with related average interest rates of 2.8% and 2.7% as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, L.J. Melody & Company (L.J. Melody), has a credit agreement with Residential Funding Corporation (RFC) for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold. On September 26, 2003, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement. The agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $200.0 million, bears interest at one- month LIBOR plus 1.0% and expires on August 31, 2004. By amendment on November 14, 2003, the agreement was modified to provide a revolving line of credit increase of $50.0 million that resulted in a total line of credit equaling $250.0 million, which expires on August 31, 2004.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, we had a maximum of $230.8 million revolving line of credit principal outstanding with RFC. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 we had a $72.7 million and a $230.8 million warehouse line of credit outstanding, respectively, which are included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we had a $72.7 million and a $230.8 million warehouse receivable representing mortgage loans funded through the line of credit that had not been purchased as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, which are also included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

L.J. Melody also has a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase. The credit agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $20.0 million, bears interest at 1.0% in excess of the bank’s cost of funds and expires on May 28, 2004. L.J. Melody uses this credit line from time to time to fund short-term investments in governmental and quasi-governmental instruments. Any such investments acquired by L.J. Melody are pledged as collateral for outstanding borrowings under the credit line. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, no amounts were outstanding under this line of credit.

In connection with our acquisition of Westmark Realty Advisors in 1995, we issued approximately $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The Westmark senior notes are secured by letters of credit equal to approximately 50% of the outstanding balance at December 31, 2003. The Westmark senior notes are redeemable at the discretion of the note holders and have final maturity dates of June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2010.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, all of the Westmark senior notes bore interest at 9.0%. On January 1, 2003, the interest rate on some of these notes was converted to varying rates equal to the interest rate in effect with respect to amounts outstanding under our credit agreement. On January 1, 2005, the interest rate on all of the other Westmark senior notes will be adjusted to equal the interest rate then in effect with respect to amounts outstanding under our credit agreement. The amount of the Westmark senior notes included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $12.1 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Insignia, which we acquired in July 2003, issued loan notes as partial consideration for previous acquisitions of businesses in the United Kingdom. The acquisition loan notes are payable to the sellers of the previously acquired U.K. businesses and are secured by restricted cash deposits in approximately the same amount. The acquisition loan notes are redeemable semi-annually at the discretion of the note holder and have a final maturity date of April 2010. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, $12.6 million and $12.2 million of the acquisition loan notes were outstanding, respectively, which are included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

A significant number of our subsidiaries in Europe have had a Euro cash pool loan since 2001, which is used to fund their short-term liquidity needs. The Euro cash pool loan is an overdraft line for our European operations issued by HSBC Bank. The Euro cash pool loan has no stated maturity date and bears interest at varying rates based on a base rate as defined by the bank plus 2.5%. At March 31, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under the Euro cash pool loan. The amount of the Euro cash pool loan included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $11.5 million as of December 31, 2003.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. Our management believes that any liability imposed upon us that may result from disposition of these lawsuits will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In connection with the sale of real estate investment assets by Insignia to Island Fund I LLC (Island) on July 23, 2003, Insignia agreed to maintain letter of credit support for real estate investment assets that were subject to the purchase agreement until the earlier of (1) the third anniversary of the completion of the sale, (2) the date on which the letter of credit is no longer required pursuant to the applicable real estate investment asset agreement or (3) the completion of a sale of the relevant underlying real estate investment asset. As of March 31, 2004, an aggregate of approximately $10.2 million of this letter of credit support remained outstanding under the purchase agreement. Also in connection with the sale, Insignia agreed to maintain a $1.3 million guarantee of a repayment obligation with respect to one of the real estate investment assets. Island agreed to reimburse us for 50% of any draws against these letters of credit or the repayment guarantee while they are outstanding and delivered a letter of credit to us in the amount of approximately $2.9 million as security for Island’s reimbursement obligation. As a result of this reimbursement obligation, we effectively retain potential liability for 50% of any future draws against these letters of credit and the repayment guarantee. However, there can be no assurance that Island will be able to reimburse us in the event of any draws against the letters of credit or the repayment guarantee or that Island’s future reimbursement obligations will not exceed the amount of the letter of credit provided to us by Island.

L.J. Melody previously executed an agreement with the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) to initially fund the purchase of a commercial mortgage loan portfolio using proceeds from its RFC line of

credit. Subsequently, a 100% participation in the loan portfolio was sold to Fannie Mae and we retained the credit risk on the first 2% of losses incurred on the underlying portfolio of commercial mortgage loans. The current loan portfolio balance is $98.6 million and we have collateralized a portion of our obligations to cover the first 1% of losses through a letter of credit in favor of Fannie Mae for a total of approximately $1.0 million. The other 1% is covered in the form of a guarantee to Fannie Mae.

We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $24.3 million as of March 31, 2004, excluding letters of credit related to our outstanding indebtedness. Approximately $12.6 million of these letters of credit secure certain office leases and are outstanding pursuant to the revolving credit facility under our amended and restated credit agreement. An additional $10.7 million of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement with Island described above and are outstanding pursuant to a reimbursement agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia. Under this agreement, we may issue up to a maximum of approximately $11.0 million of letters of credit at any one time and these outstanding letters of credit are secured by the same assets of ours that secure our amended and restated credit agreement. The remaining outstanding letter of credit which is for the Fannie Mae letter of credit described above, was issued pursuant to a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. Under this agreement, we may issue up to a maximum of $8.0 million of letters of credit, and these outstanding letters of credit are secured by the same assets of ours that secure our amended and restated credit agreement. The outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2004 expire at varying dates through March 31, 2005. However, we are obligated to renew the letters of credit related to certain office leases until as late as 2023, the letters of credit related to the Island Purchase Agreement until as late as July 23, 2006 and the Fannie Mae letter of credit until our obligation to cover potential credit losses is satisfied.

We had guarantees totaling $9.0 million as of March 31, 2004, which consisted primarily of guarantees of property debt as well as the obligations to Island and Fannie Mae discussed above. Approximately $4.8 million of the guarantees are related to investment activity that is scheduled to expire in October 2008. Approximately $1.7 million of guarantees are related to office leases in Europe and Asia. These guarantees will expire at the end of the lease terms. The guarantee obligation related to the agreement with Fannie Mae discussed above will expire in December 2004. The guarantee related to the Island Purchase Agreement will expire on the May 30, 2004 maturity date of the underlying loan agreement, unless such loan is renewed, modified or extended prior to such date to provide for a later maturity date. Renewals, modifications and extensions of such loan may be made without our consent, but the $1.3 million amount of our guarantee related to such loan may not be increased without our consent in connection with any such renewal, modification or extension.

An important part of the strategy for our investment management business involves investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. As of March 31, 2004 we had committed $22.6 million to fund future co-investments. In addition to required future capital contributions, some of the co-investment entities may request additional capital from us and our subsidiaries holding investments in those assets and the failure to provide these contributions could have adverse consequences to our interests in these investments.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive (loss) income. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) given that the earnings of non-US subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time.

Per Share Information

For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, our basic and diluted loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 62,522,176 and 41,651,415, respectively. As a result of operating losses incurred, diluted weighted average shares outstanding did not give effect to potential common shares, as to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements

The 9¾% senior notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the 11¼% senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. (See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the 9¾% senior notes and the 11¼% senior subordinated notes.)

The following condensed consolidating financial information includes:

(1) Condensed consolidating balance sheets as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003; condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003; and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, of (a) CB Richard Ellis Group as the parent, (b) CBRE as the subsidiary issuer, (c) the guarantor subsidiaries, (d) the nonguarantor subsidiaries and (e) CB Richard Ellis Group on a consolidated basis; and

(2) Elimination entries necessary to consolidate CB Richard Ellis Group as the parent, with CBRE and its guarantor and nonguarantor subsidiaries.

Investments in consolidated subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in consolidated subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The preliminary purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Insignia Acquisition have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, reflect the allocation of goodwill based upon the estimated fair value of Insignia’s acquired reporting units (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Subsequent Events

On April 23, 2004, we entered into an amendment to the current amended and restated credit agreement that includes a waiver generally permitting us to prepay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire up to $30.0 million of our existing indebtedness. In May and June 2004, we purchased $21.6 in aggregate principal amount of our 11¼% senior subordinated notes in the open market. We paid an aggregate of $3.1 of premiums in connection with these purchases.

On May 4, 2004, we amended our Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized Class A common shares to 325,000,000 and the authorized Class B common shares to 100,000,000. Additionally, on May 4, 2004, we effected a three-for-one split of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, which split was effected by a stock dividend. In addition, on June 7, 2004, we effected a 1-for-1.0825 reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The applicable share and per share data for all periods included herein have been restated to give effect to these stock splits.

On May 12, 2004, our wholly owned subsidiary, L.J. Melody & Company, modified its credit agreement with RFC to provide a temporary revolving line of credit increase of $100.0 million that resulted in a total line of credit under the agreement equaling $350.0 million. This increase will be effective on May 30, 2004 and expires 90 days after the effective date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive (loss) income for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003. Our audits also included the 2003 and 2002 financial statement schedules listed in the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements. These financial statements and the financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 2003 and 2002 financial statements and the financial statement schedules based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule of the Company for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule of CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. (the “Predecessor”) for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and stated that such 2001 financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the 2001 basic financial statements taken as a whole, presented fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein, in their report dated February 26, 2002.

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, such 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the 2003 and 2002 financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in 2002 to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”).

As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and the consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. As described in Note 8, these consolidated financial statements have been revised to include the transitional disclosures required by SFAS 142, which was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2002. Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures in Note 8 with respect to 2001 included (i) comparing the previously reported net income (loss) to the previously issued consolidated financial statements and the adjustments to reported net income (loss) representing amortization expense (including any related tax effects) recognized in those periods relating to goodwill that is no longer being amortized as a result of initially applying SFAS 142 to the Company’s and the Predecessor’s underlying analysis obtained from management, and (ii) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to reported net income (loss), and the related earnings (loss)-per-share amounts. In our opinion, the disclosures for 2001 in Note 8 are appropriate. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Predecessor other than with respect to such disclosures, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2001 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Index to Financial Statements

As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. As described in Note 23, those consolidated financial statements have been revised to give effect to the stock split on May 4, 2004 and the reverse stock split on June 7, 2004 discussed in Note 23. We audited the adjustments described in Note 23 that were applied to revise the Company’s 2001 consolidated financial statements for such stock split and reverse stock split. Our audit procedures included (1) comparing the amounts shown in the earnings per share disclosures for 2001 to the Company’s underlying accounting analysis obtained from management, (2) comparing the previously reported shares outstanding and income statement amounts per the Company’s accounting analysis to the previously issued consolidated financial statements, and (3) recalculating the additional shares to give effect to the stock split and reverse stock split and testing the mathematical accuracy of the underlying analysis. In our opinion, such adjustments have been properly applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such stock split and reverse stock split adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on the Company’s 2001 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Operations

CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (formerly known as CBRE Holding, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on February 20, 2001 and was created to acquire all of the outstanding shares of CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. (CBRE), an international commercial real estate services firm. Prior to July 20, 2001, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Blum Strategic Partners, L.P. (Blum Strategic), formerly known as RCBA Strategic Partners, L.P., which is an affiliate of Richard C. Blum, a director of CBRE and our company.

On July 20, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of CBRE pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 31, 2001, among CBRE, Blum CB Corp. (Blum CB) and us. Blum CB was merged with and into CBRE with CBRE being the surviving corporation (the 2001 Merger). In July 2003, our global position in the commercial real estate services industry was further solidified as CBRE acquired Insignia Financial Group, Inc. (Insignia Acquisition). We have no substantive operations other than our investment in CBRE.

We offer a full range of services to occupiers, owners, lenders and investors in office, retail, industrial, multi-family and other commercial real estate assets globally under the “CB Richard Ellis” brand name. Our business is focused on several service competencies, including strategic advice and execution assistance for property leasing and sales, forecasting, valuations, origination and servicing of commercial mortgage loans, facilities and project management and real estate investment management. We generate revenues both on a per project or transaction basis and from annual management fees.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001 include the accounts of CBRE prior to the 2001 Merger as CBRE is considered our predecessor for purposes of Regulation S-X. The equity attributable to minority shareholders’ interests in subsidiaries is shown separately in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management believes that these estimates provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months. We control certain cash and cash equivalents as an agent for our investment and property management clients. These amounts are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (See Note 17).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, or in the case of capitalized leases, at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed primarily using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging up to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the respective leases, excluding options to renew. We capitalize expenditures that materially increase the life of the related assets and expense the costs of maintenance and repairs.

We periodically review property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If any of the significant assumptions inherent in this assessment materially change due to market, economic, and/or other factors, the recoverability is assessed based on the revised assumptions. If this analysis indicates that such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is recognized in the period the changes occur and represents the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill mainly represents the excess of the purchase price paid by us over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in the 2001 Merger and in the Insignia Acquisition. Other intangible assets include trademarks, which were separately identified as a result of the 2001 Merger, as well as a trade name separately identified as a result of the Insignia Acquisition representing the Richard Ellis trade name in the United Kingdom (U.K.) that was owned by Insignia prior to the Insignia Acquisition. Both the trademarks and the trade name are not being amortized and have indefinite estimated useful lives. Other intangible assets also include backlog, which represents the fair value of Insignia’s net revenue backlog as of July 23, 2003 that was acquired as part of the Insignia Acquisition. The backlog consists of the net commission receivable on Insignia’s revenue producing transactions, which were at various stages of completion prior to the Insignia Acquisition. Backlog is being amortized as cash is received or upon final closing of these pending transactions. The remaining other intangible assets primarily include management contracts, loan servicing rights, franchise agreements and a trade name, which are all being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging up to 20 years.

We fully adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” effective January 1, 2002. This statement requires us to perform at least an annual assessment of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives based on assumptions and estimates of fair value and future cash flow information. We perform an annual assessment of our goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives for impairment based in part on a third-party valuation as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year. We also assess our goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that our carrying value may not be recoverable from future cash flows. We completed our required annual impairment tests as of October 1, 2003 and 2002, and determined that no impairment existed as of those dates.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with financing activities are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related debt agreements ranging up to ten years. Amortization of these costs is charged to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In the third quarter of 2003, in connection with the Insignia Acquisition, we entered into an amended and restated credit facility and wrote off $6.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with our prior credit facility. In the

F-33

Index to Financial Statements

CB RICHARD ELLIS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

fourth quarter of 2003, we wrote off $1.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the $20.0 million and $10.0 million redemptions of our 16% senior notes on October 27, 2003 and December 29, 2003, respectively. Total deferred costs, net of accumulated amortization, included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $29.9 million and $20.5 million, as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Real estate commissions on sales are recorded as income upon close of escrow or upon transfer of title. Real estate commissions on leases are generally recorded as income once we satisfy all obligations under the commission agreement. A typical commission agreement provides that we earn a portion of the lease commission upon the execution of the lease agreement by the tenant, while the remaining portion(s) of the lease commission is earned at a later date, usually upon tenant occupancy. The existence of any significant future contingencies will result in the delay of recognition of revenue until such contingencies are satisfied. For example, if we do not earn all or a portion of the lease commission until the tenant pays their first month’s rent and the lease agreement provides the tenant with a free rent period, we delay revenue recognition until cash rent is paid by the tenant. Investment management and property management fees are recognized when earned under the provisions of the related agreements. Appraisal fees are recorded after services have been rendered. Loan origination fees are recognized at the time the loan closes and we have no significant remaining obligations for performance in connection with the transaction, while loan servicing fees are recorded to revenue as monthly principal and interest payments are collected from mortgagors. Other commissions, consulting fees and referral fees are recorded as income at the time the related services have been performed unless significant future contingencies exist.

Business Promotion and Advertising Costs

The costs of business promotion and advertising are expensed as incurred in accordance with Statement of Position 93-7, “Reporting on Advertising Costs.” Business promotion and advertising costs of $23.5 million, $16.8 million, $6.1 million and $12.5 million were included in operating, administrative and other expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001, respectively.

Foreign Currencies

The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside the United States (U.S.) are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rate. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations. The aggregate transaction gains and losses included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are a $9.8 million gain, a $6.4 million gain, a $0.2 million loss and a $0.3 million gain for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001, respectively.

F-34

Index to Financial Statements

CB RICHARD ELLIS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income consists of net (loss) income and other comprehensive (loss) income. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) given that earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. The income tax benefit associated with the minimum pension liability adjustments is $6.5 million and $7.3 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing

We follow SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” in accounting for loan sales and acquisition of servicing rights. SFAS No. 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Those standards are based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under the approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred at fair value. Servicing assets are amortized over the period of estimated servicing income with a write-off required when control is surrendered. Our recording of servicing rights at their fair value resulted in gains, which have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Corresponding servicing assets of approximately $1.8 million and $2.1 million, for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are included in other intangible assets reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Accounting for Broker Draws

As part of our recruitment efforts relative to new U.S. brokers, we offer a transitional broker draw arrangement. Our broker draw arrangements generally last until such time as a broker’s pipeline of business is sufficient to allow him or her to earn sustainable commissions. This program is intended to provide the broker with a minimal amount of cash flow to allow adequate time for his or her training as well as time for him or her to develop business relationships. Similar to traditional salaries, the broker draws are paid irrespective of the actual revenues generated by the broker. Often these broker draws represent the only form of compensation received by the broker. Furthermore, it is not our policy to pursue collection of unearned broker draws paid under this arrangement. As a result, we have concluded that broker draws are economically equivalent to salaries paid and accordingly charge them to compensation as incurred. The broker is also entitled to earn a commission on completed revenue transactions. This amount is calculated as the commission that would have been payable under our full commission program, less any amounts previously paid to the broker in the form of a draw.

Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to 2003, we accounted for stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2002, for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 or for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001, as all options granted during those periods had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

In the fourth quarter of 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified or settled

F-35

CB RICHARD ELLIS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

after January 1, 2003, as permitted by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Awards under our stock-based compensation plans vest over five-year periods. Therefore, the cost related to stock-based employee compensation included in the determination of net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards since the original effective date of SFAS No. 123.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123, we estimate the value of our options based upon the “Minimum Value” method. Option valuation models require the input of assumptions such as the expected stock price volatility. As our common stock is not freely tradable on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market, an effectively zero percent volatility was utilized. The dividend yield is also excluded from the calculation, as it is our present intention to retain all earnings.

The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share if the minimum value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period (dollars in thousands, except share data):

The weighted average minimum value of options and warrants granted by us was $0.58 for the year ended December 31, 2003, $0.84 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $0.67 for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001. There were no stock options or warrants granted by CBRE for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001 that remained outstanding as of December 31, 2001.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The minimum value of each option grant and warrant is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the following weighted average assumptions:


	Year Ended December 31,				Period From February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001
	2003		2002
Risk-free interest rate	3.02	%	4.06	%	4.69	%
Expected volatility	0.00	%	0.00	%	0.00	%
Expected life	5 years		5 years		5 years

(Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share further assumes the dilutive effect of stock options, stock warrants and contingently issuable shares. Contingently issuable shares represent unvested stock fund units in the deferred compensation plan. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” these shares are included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation under the treasury stock method (see Note 16).

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of FIN 46 (FIN 46R). Among other things, the revision clarifies the definition of a variable interest entity, exempts most entities that are businesses from the scope of FIN 46R and delays the effective date of the revised standard to no later than the end of the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003 for special purpose entities and March 15, 2004 for all other types of entities. The adoption of this interpretation has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

F-37

Index to Financial Statements

CB RICHARD ELLIS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of SFAS No. 132, “Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” The revised statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in SFAS No. 132 and requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. We have adopted this statement for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, we expect to adopt additional disclosures for our U.K. pension plans during 2004.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications, which do not have an effect on net income or equity, have been made to the 2002 and 2001 financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.

3. Insignia Acquisition

In conjunction with and immediately prior to the Insignia Acquisition, Island Fund I LLC (Island), a Delaware limited liability company, which is affiliated with Andrew L. Farkas (Insignia’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) and some of Insignia’s other former officers, completed the purchase of specified real estate investment assets of Insignia, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated May 28, 2003 (the Island Purchase Agreement), by and among Insignia, us, CBRE, Apple Acquisition and Island. A number of the real estate investment assets that were sold to Island required the consent of one or more third parties in order to transfer such assets. Some of these third party consents were not obtained prior to or since the closing of the Insignia

F-38

Index to Financial Statements

CB RICHARD ELLIS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Acquisition. As a result, we continue to hold these real estate investment assets pending the receipt of these third party consents. While we hold these assets, we have generally agreed to provide Island with the economic benefits from these assets and Island generally has agreed to indemnify us with respect to any losses incurred in connection with continuing to hold these assets.

Pursuant to the terms of the Insignia Acquisition Agreement, (1) each issued and outstanding share of Insignia Common Stock (other than treasury shares), par value $0.01 per share, was converted into the right to receive $11.156 in cash, without interest (the Insignia Common Stock Merger Consideration), (2) each issued and outstanding share of Insignia’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into the right to receive $100.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (3) all outstanding warrants and options to acquire Insignia common stock other than as described below, whether vested or unvested, were canceled and represented the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the Insignia Common Stock Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of the option or warrant, multiplied by the number of shares of Insignia Common Stock subject to the option or warrant less any applicable withholding taxes and (4) outstanding options to purchase Insignia Common Stock granted pursuant to Insignia’s 1998 Stock Investment Plan, whether vested or unvested, were canceled and represented the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the higher of (x) the Insignia Common Stock Merger Consideration, or (y) the highest final sale price per share of the Insignia Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) at any time during the 60-day period preceding the closing of the Insignia Acquisition (which was $11.20), over (b) the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of shares of Insignia Common Stock subject to the options, less any applicable withholding taxes. Following the Insignia Acquisition, the Insignia Common Stock was delisted from the NYSE and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The funding to complete the Insignia Acquisition, as well as the refinancing of substantially all of the outstanding indebtedness of Insignia, was obtained through (a) the sale of 18,255,338 shares of our Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, to Blum Strategic, a Delaware limited partnership, Blum Strategic Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and Blum Strategic Partners II GmbH & Co. KG, a German limited partnership, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $105,394,160; (b) the sale of 631,496 shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, to DLJ Investment Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, DLJ Investment Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and DLJIP II Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $3,645,840; (c) the sale of 1,732,101 shares of our Class A Common Stock to California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for an aggregate cash purchase price of $10,000,000; (d) the sale of 166,281 shares of our Class B Common Stock to Frederic V. Malek, a director of our company, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $960,000; (e) the release from escrow of the net proceeds from the offering by CBRE Escrow, Inc. (CBRE Escrow), a wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE that merged with and into CBRE in connection with the Insignia Acquisition, of $200.0 million of the 9³/4% Senior Notes due May 15, 2010 (see Note 12), issued and sold by CBRE Escrow on May 22, 2003; (f) $75.0 million of term loan borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (see Note 12), dated as of May 22, 2003, by and among CBRE, Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, the other lenders named in the credit agreement, us and the guarantors named in the credit agreement and (g) $36,870,230 of cash proceeds from the completion of the sale to Island.

The aggregate preliminary purchase price for the Insignia Acquisition was approximately $328.0 million, which includes: (1) $267.9 million in cash paid for shares of Insignia’s outstanding common stock, valued at $11.156 per share, (2) $100.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends paid to the owners of Insignia’s outstanding Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock totaling $38.2 million, (3) cash payments of $7.9 million to holders of Insignia’s vested and unvested warrants and options and (4) $14.0 million of direct costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, consisting mostly of legal and accounting fees.

The preliminary purchase accounting adjustments related to the Insignia Acquisition have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of, and for periods subsequent to, July 23, 2003. The final valuation of the net assets acquired is expected to be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Given the size and complexity of the acquisition, the fair valuation of certain assets acquired, primarily net deferred tax assets, is still preliminary. Additionally, adjustments to the estimated liabilities assumed in connection with the Insignia Acquisition may still be required. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

The Insignia Acquisition gave rise to the consolidation and elimination of some Insignia duplicate facilities and Insignia redundant employees as well as the termination of certain contracts as a result of a change of control of Insignia. As a result, we have accrued certain liabilities in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” These liabilities assumed in connection with the Insignia Acquisition consist of the following (dollars in thousands):


	2003 Charge to Goodwill		Utilized to Date		To be Utilized
Severance	$	30,706	$	13,676	$	17,030
Lease termination costs		28,922		3,065		25,857
Change of control payments		10,451		10,451		—
Costs associated with exiting contracts		8,921		7,632		1,289
Legal settlements anticipated		8,739		2,900		5,839

	$	87,739	$	37,724	$	50,015

The liability for severance covers approximately 450 employees with the bulk of the terminations occurring in the U.S. A majority of the amount unpaid as of December 31, 2003 represents future payments required as per severance agreements for the top six former senior executives of Insignia. These amounts will be paid as required by their severance agreements up through their expiration dates of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005. All other outstanding liabilities for severance are expected to be paid in 2004. We identified approximately 50 redundant facilities consisting of both sales and corporate offices. A total accrual for lease termination costs of $28.9 million was established for office closures, the majority of which were located in the U.S. The liability for lease termination costs will be paid over the remaining contract periods through 2012. The change of control payments represented amounts paid to the top six former senior executives of Insignia as a direct result of the Insignia Acquisition as stipulated in their employment contracts. In connection with the Insignia Acquisition, we incurred costs associated with the termination of contracts that Insignia entered into prior to the Insignia Acquisition. We expect to pay all remaining costs relating to exiting these contracts in 2004. We have accrued approximately $8.7 million to cover our exposure in various lawsuits involving Insignia that were pending prior to the Insignia Acquisition. These liabilities will be paid as each case is settled.

4. 2001 Merger

On July 20, 2001, we acquired CBRE pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 31, 2001 (the 2001 Merger Agreement) among us, CBRE and Blum CB. At the effective time of the 2001 Merger, CBRE became our wholly owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the 2001 Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of CBRE was converted into the right to receive $16.00 in cash, except for: (i) shares of common stock of CBRE owned by us and Blum CB immediately prior to the 2001 Merger, totaling 7,967,774 shares, which were cancelled, (ii) treasury shares and shares of common stock of CBRE owned by any of its subsidiaries, which were cancelled and (iii) shares of CBRE held by stockholders who perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Delaware law. All shares of common stock of CBRE outstanding prior to the 2001 Merger were acquired by us and subsequently cancelled. Immediately prior to the 2001 Merger, the following, collectively referred to as the buying group, contributed to us all the shares of CBRE’s common stock that he or it directly owned in exchange for three shares of our Class B common stock: Blum Strategic, FS Equity Partners III, L.P. (FSEP III), a Delaware limited partnership, FS Equity Partners International, L.P. (FSEP International), a Delaware limited partnership, The Koll Holding Company, a California corporation, Frederic V. Malek, a director of our company and CBRE, Raymond E. Wirta, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of our company and CBRE, and Brett White, the President and a director of our company and CBRE. Such shares of common stock of CBRE, which totaled 7,967,774 shares of common stock,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

were then cancelled. In addition, we offered to purchase for cash, options outstanding to acquire common stock of CBRE at a purchase price per option equal to the greater of the amount by which $16.00 exceeded the exercise price of the option, if at all, or $1.00. In connection with the 2001 Merger, CBRE purchased its outstanding options on our behalf, which were recorded as merger-related and other nonrecurring charges by CBRE in the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001.

The funding to complete the 2001 Merger, as well as the refinancing of substantially all of the outstanding indebtedness of CBRE, was obtained through: (i) a cash contribution of $74.8 million from the sale of our Class B common stock for $5.77 per share, (ii) sale of shares of our Class A common stock for $5.77 per share to employees and independent contractors of CBRE, (iii) sale of 1,732,102 shares of our Class A common stock to CalPERS for $5.77 per share, (iv) issuance and sale of 65,000 units for $65.0 million to DLJ Investment Funding, Inc. and other purchasers, which units consisted of $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 16% Senior Notes due July 20, 2011 and 941,764 shares of our Class A common stock, (v) issuance and sale by Blum CB of $229.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2011 for $225.6 million (which were assumed by CBRE in connection with the 2001 Merger) and (vi) borrowings by CBRE under a new $325.0 million senior credit facility with CSFB and other lenders.

Following the 2001 Merger, the common stock of CBRE was delisted from the NYSE. CBRE also successfully completed a tender offer and consent solicitation for all of the outstanding principal amount of its 8⁷/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the Subordinated Notes). The Subordinated Notes were purchased at $1,079.14 for each $1,000 principal amount of Subordinated Notes, which included a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Subordinated Notes. We also repaid the outstanding balance of CBRE’s existing revolving credit facility. We entered into the 2001 Merger in order to enhance the flexibility to operate CBRE’s existing businesses and to develop new ones.

5. Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001, reflect our consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity from our company’s inception and also include the consolidated financial statements of CBRE from the date of the 2001 Merger, including all material adjustments required under the purchase method of accounting. For purposes of Regulation S-X, CBRE is considered our predecessor. As such, the historical financial statements of CBRE prior to the 2001 Merger are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001 (the Predecessor financial statements). The Predecessor financial statements have not been adjusted to reflect our acquisition of CBRE. As such, our consolidated financial statements after the 2001 Merger are not directly comparable to the Predecessor financial statements prior to the 2001 Merger. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 include the consolidated financial statements of Insignia from July 23, 2003, the date of the Insignia Acquisition, including all material adjustments required under the purchase method of accounting. As such, our consolidated financial statements after the Insignia Acquisition are not directly comparable to our financial statements prior to the Insignia Acquisition.

Unaudited pro forma results, assuming the Insignia Acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2003 and 2002 for purposes of the 2003 and 2002 pro forma disclosures, respectively, are presented below. These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as increased amortization expense as a result of intangible assets acquired in the Insignia Acquisition as

well as higher interest expense as a result of debt incurred to finance the Insignia Acquisition. These unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been had the Insignia Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2003 or 2002, respectively, and may not be indicative of future operating results (dollars in thousands, except share data):

6. Restricted Cash

Included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is restricted cash of $14.9 million, which primarily consists of cash pledged to secure the guarantee of notes issued in connection with previous acquisitions by Insignia in the U.K. The acquisitions include the 1999 acquisition of St. Quintin Holdings Limited and the 1998 acquisition of Richard Ellis Group Limited.

7. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of the following (dollars in thousands):

8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized but are subject to impairment tests on an annual basis, at a minimum, or whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that those assets might be impaired. We adopted the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 on July 20, 2001, the effective date of the 2001 Merger. The following table presents the impact of SFAS No. 142 on, our net (loss) income and net (loss) earnings per share had the standard been in effect for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001 (dollars in thousands, except share data):

The preliminary purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Insignia Acquisition have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We are in the process of finalizing the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 23, 2003, the effective date of the Insignia Acquisition (See Note 3 for additional information). The following table summarizes the estimated goodwill allocated to our operating segments in connection with the Insignia Acquisition as well as other changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 (dollars in thousands):

In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” trademarks of $63.7 million were separately identified as a result of the 2001 Merger. As a result of the Insignia Acquisition, a $19.8 million trade name was separately identified, which represents the Richard Ellis trade name in the U.K. that was owned by Insignia prior to the Insignia Acquisition. Both the trademarks and the trade name have indefinite useful lives and accordingly are not being amortized.

Management contracts are primarily comprised of property management contracts in the U.S., the U.K., France and other European operations, as well as valuation services and fund management contracts in the U.K. These management contracts are being amortized over estimated useful lives of up to ten years.

Loan servicing rights represent the fair value of servicing assets in our mortgage banking line of business in the U.S., the majority of which were acquired as part of the 2001 Merger. The loan servicing rights are being amortized over estimated useful lives of up to ten years.

Other amortizable intangible assets represent other intangible assets acquired as a result of the Insignia Acquisition, including an intangible asset recognized for other non-contractual revenue acquired in the U.S. as well as franchise agreements and a trade name in France. These other intangible assets are being amortized over estimated useful lives of up to 20 years.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $64.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, $3.1 million for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and $13.1 million for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending December 31, 2008 approximates $20.3 million, $6.5 million, $5.1 million, $4.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

11. Employee Benefit Plans

Stock Incentive Plans and Warrants.

2001 Stock Incentive Plan. Our 2001 stock incentive plan was adopted by our board of directors and our stockholders on June 7, 2001. The stock incentive plan permits the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors or independent contractors. A total of 18,013,857 shares of Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance under the stock incentive plan, and 9,698,289 shares remained available for future issuance as of December 31, 2003. The number of shares issued or reserved pursuant to the stock incentive plan, or pursuant to outstanding awards, is subject to adjustment on account of stock splits, stock dividends and other dilutive changes in our Class A common stock. Class A common stock covered by awards that expire, terminate or lapse will again be available for option or grant under the stock incentive plan. No award may be granted under the stock incentive plan after June 7, 2011, but awards granted prior to June 7, 2011 may extend beyond that date. In the event of a change of control of our company, all outstanding options will become fully vested and exercisable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In connection with the 2001 Merger, we offered and sold shares of our Class A common stock to certain of our employees that were designated by our board of directors in consultation with Ray Wirta, our Chief Executive Officer, and Brett White, our President. If each of these designated employees subscribed for a specified number of shares that was determined by our board of directors, they were then entitled to receive a grant of options to acquire our Class A common stock. As part of the 2001 Merger, we issued and sold 1,172,904 shares of our Class A common stock and granted 4,213,045 options to acquire our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.77 per share and a term of ten years. These options vest and are exercisable in 20% annual increments over a five-year period ending on July 20, 2006.

On September 16, 2003, we issued to employees 2,427,714 options to acquire our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.77 per share and a term of ten years. These options vest and are exercisable in 20% annual increments over a five-year period ending September 16, 2008.

Since the 2001 Merger, there have been instances where employees have forfeited their options as a result of the termination of their employment with our company. In these instances, we have generally issued individual grants to replacement hires made as well as to retain certain key employees. Additionally, individual grants of options and issuances and sales of shares of Class A common stock have been made from time to time to key new hires. As of December 31, 2003, a total of 245,958 shares of our Class A common stock had been issued and sold and 847,488 options to acquire our Class A common stock had been granted to individuals under the instances described above since the 2001 Merger. These options have exercise prices of $5.77 per share, terms of ten years and vest and are exercisable in 20% annual increments over various five-year periods through November 2008.

Warrants. Pursuant to an agreement entered into in connection with the 2001 Merger, we issued to FSEP III and FSEP International warrants to acquire 708,019 shares of our Class B common stock at an exercise price of $10.825 per share in exchange for the cancellation of previously outstanding warrants to acquire 364,884 shares of CBRE common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, these warrants do not vest until August 26, 2007, expire on August 27, 2007 and will become fully vested and exercisable upon a change in control of our company.

Option Plans and Warrants of CBRE, our Predecessor. The options and warrants outstanding prior to the 2001 Merger were issued in connection with various acquisitions and employee stock-based compensation plans and had exercise prices that ranged from $10.00 to $36.75 with vesting periods that ranged up to 5 years and expired at various dates through August 2010.

At the effective time of the 2001 Merger, each holder of an option to acquire CBRE’s common stock, whether or not vested, had the right to receive, in consideration for the cancellation of his or her options, an amount per share of common stock equal to the greater of (i) the amount by which $16.00 exceeded the exercise price of the option, if any, or (ii) $1.00, reduced in each case by applicable withholding taxes. Warrants to acquire 84,988 shares of CBRE beneficially owned by Ray Wirta and one of the other members of the CBRE board of directors prior to the 2001 Merger were cancelled in exchange for a cash payment of $1.00 per share of common stock underlying the warrants. Warrants held by non-employees, other than FS Equity Partners III, L.P. and FS Equity Partners International, L.P. who received warrants to acquire shares of CBRE’s Class B common stock, were cancelled and no payments were made to such shareholders. As of December 31, 2001, there were no options or warrants outstanding to acquire CBRE’s stock.

Deferred Compensation Plan. Our deferred compensation plan (the DCP) historically has permitted a select group of management employees, as well as other highly compensated employees, to elect, immediately prior to the beginning of each calendar year, to defer receipt of some or all of their compensation for the next year until a

future distribution date and have it credited to one or more of several funds in the DCP. The DCP permits participants to elect in-service distributions, which may not begin less than three years following the election and post-employment distributions. There is limited flexibility to change distribution elections once made. A participant may elect to receive a distribution of his or her vested accounts at any time subject to a charge equal to 7.5% of the amount to be distributed. The investment alternatives available to participants in connection with their deferrals include two interest index funds and an insurance fund in which gains or losses on deferrals are measured by one or more of approximately 30 mutual funds. In addition, prior to the 2001 Merger, participants were entitled to invest their deferrals in stock fund units that entitled the participants to receive future distributions of shares of CBRE common stock, which stock fund units now represent the right to receive future distributions of shares of our common stock.

Each stock fund unit that was unvested prior to the 2001 Merger remained in participants’ accounts, but after the 2001 Merger was converted to the right to receive three shares of our Class A common stock. Subsequent to our reverse stock split which is expected to occur during May 2004, each stock fund unit will be converted to the right to receive 0.9238 shares of our Class A common stock. These unvested stock fund units have been accounted for as a deferred compensation asset and are being amortized as compensation expense over the remaining vesting period for such stock fund units in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” with $1.8 million charged to compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and $0.9 million charged to compensation expense for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001. The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the unamortized balances totaling $1.4 million and $1.9 million in other current assets as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $1.4 million in other assets as of December 31, 2002. Subsequent to the 2001 Merger, no new deferrals have been allowed in stock fund units.

In 2001, we announced a match for the Plan Year 2000, effective July 2001, in the amount of $8.0 million to be invested in an interest bearing account on behalf of participants. The 2000 Company Match vests at 20% per year and will be fully vested by December 2005. The related compensation expense is being amortized over the vesting period. The amounts charged to expense for the 2000 Company match were $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, $0.7 million for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and $0.2 million for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001.

Included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets is an accumulated non-stock liability of $138.0 million and $106.3 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and the assets (in the form of insurance) set aside to cover the liability of $76.4 million and $63.6 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, our stock fund unit deferrals included in additional paid-in capital totaled $18.1 million and $18.2 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Early in the fourth quarter of 2003, we announced that effective January 1, 2004, we will close the DCP to new participants. Currently, the DCP is accepting compensation deferrals from participants who have a balance, meet the eligibility requirements and elect to participate, up to a maximum annual contribution amount of $250,000 per participant. We are currently reviewing the future status of this plan.

Stock Purchase Plans. Prior to the 2001 Merger, CBRE had restricted stock purchase plans covering select key executives including senior management. A total of 500,000 and 550,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under CBRE’s 1999 and 1996 Equity Incentive Plans, respectively. The shares were issued to senior executives for a purchase price equal to the greater of $18.00 and $10.00 per share or fair market value, respectively. The purchase price for these shares was paid either in cash or by delivery of a full recourse promissory note. All promissory notes related to the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan were repaid as part of the 2001 Merger. The majority of the notes related to the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan were also repaid, with the remaining unpaid outstanding balance of $0.6 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, included in notes receivable from

sale of stock in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. As part of the 2001 Merger, the CBRE shares related to these outstanding promissory notes were exchanged for three shares of our Class B common stock.

Bonuses. We have bonus programs covering select key employees, including senior management. Awards are based on the position and performance of the employee and the achievement of pre-established financial, operating and strategic objectives. The amounts charged to expense for bonuses were $51.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, $40.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, $18.0 million for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and $16.5 million for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001.

401(k) Plans. Our CB Richard Ellis 401(k) Plan (401(k) Plan) is defined contribution profit sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, our U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the plan if the employee is at least 21 years old. The 401(k) Plan provides for participant contributions as well as discretionary employer contributions. A participant is allowed to contribute to the 401(k) Plan from 1% to 15%, in whole percentages, of his or her compensation, subject to limits imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Each year, we determine the amount of employer contributions, if any, we will contribute to the 401 (k) Plan based on the performance and profitability of our consolidated U.S. operations. Our contributions for the year are allocated to participants who are actively employed on the last day of the plan year in proportion to each participant’s pre-tax contributions for that year, up to 5% of the participant’s compensation. In connection with the 401(k) Plan, we incurred $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, no expense for the year ended December 31, 2002, $0.8 million for the period from February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and no expense for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001.

In connection with the 2001 Merger, each share of common stock of CBRE formerly held by the 401(k) Plan and credited to participant accounts was exchanged for $16.00 in cash. In addition, the 401(k) Plan was amended to eliminate the common stock of CBRE as an investment option within the 401(k) Plan after July 20, 2001. The cash received for the shares of CBRE common stock was available for reinvestment in one or more of the investment alternatives available within the 401(k) Plan in accordance with the terms of the plan, including a new company stock fund in which employees could invest on a one-time basis in our Class A shares of common stock. Subsequent to the 2001 Merger, participants are no longer entitled to purchase additional shares of our Class A or Class B common stock for allocation to their account balances.

In connection with the Insignia Acquisition, we assumed Insignia’s existing 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (Insignia 401(k) Plan) and its 401(k) Restoration Plan.

The Insignia 401(k) Plan covered substantially all Insignia employees in the U.S. Insignia made contributions equal to 25% of the employees’ contributions up to a maximum of 6% of the employees’ compensation and participants fully vested in employees’ contributions after five years. Insignia’s contribution was discontinued effective July 23, 2003. Upon the close of the Insignia Acquisition, participants in the Insignia 401(k) Plan were required, instead, to join our 401(k) Plan. Currently, only loan payments are being accepted into the former Insignia 401(k) Plan until we receive IRS approval to terminate the plan and transfer plan balances into our 401(k) Plan.

The 401(k) Restoration Plan allowed designated executives of Insignia and certain participating affiliated employees in the Insignia 401(k) Plan to defer the receipt of a portion of their compensation in excess of the amount of compensation that was permitted to be contributed to the Insignia 401(k) Plan. This plan ceased to accept deferrals on July 23, 2003.

Pension Plans. The London-based firm of Hillier Parker May & Rowden, which we acquired in 1998, had a contributory defined benefit pension plan. A subsidiary of Insignia, which we acquired in connection with the Insignia Acquisition in 2003, had a contributory defined benefit pension plan in the U.K. Our subsidiaries based in the U.K. maintain these plans to provide retirement benefits to existing and former employees participating in the plans. With respect to these plans, our historical policy has been to contribute annually an amount to fund pension cost as actuarially determined and as required by applicable laws and regulations. Pension expense totaled $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, $1.4 million for the period February 20 (inception) to December 31, 2001, and $0.9 million for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001.

In connection with the 2001 Merger, we entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Facility) with CSFB and other lenders. In connection with the Insignia Acquisition, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with CSFB and other lenders. On October 14, 2003, we refinanced all of the outstanding loans under that agreement. As part of this refinancing, we entered into a new amended and restated credit agreement. The

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

prior credit facilities were, and the current amended and restated credit facilities continue to be, jointly and severally guaranteed by us and each of our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets.

The Credit Facility entered into in connection with the 2001 Merger included the following: (1) a Tranche A term facility of $50.0 million maturing on July 20, 2007, which was fully drawn in connection with the 2001 Merger; (2) a Tranche B term facility of $185.0 million maturing on July 18, 2008, which was fully drawn in connection with the 2001 Merger; and (3) a revolving line of credit of $90.0 million, including revolving credit loans, letters of credit and a swingline loan facility, maturing on July 20, 2007. Borrowings under the Tranche A term facility and revolving facility bore interest at varying rates based on our option, at either the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.50% to 3.25% or the alternate base rate plus 1.50% to 2.25%, in both cases as determined by reference to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA, which was defined in the credit agreement. The alternate base rate is higher of (1) CSFB’s prime rate or (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one-half of one percent. Borrowings under the Tranche B term facility bore interest at varying rates based on our option at either the applicable LIBOR plus 3.75% or the alternate base rate plus 2.75%.

The amended and restated credit facilities entered into in connection with the Insignia Acquisition included the following: (1) a Tranche A term facility of $50.0 million maturing on July 20, 2007; (2) a Tranche B term facility of $260.0 million maturing on July 18, 2008, $75.0 million of which was drawn in connection with the Insignia Acquisition; and (3) a revolving line of credit of $90.0 million, including revolving credit loans, letters of credit and a swingline loan facility, maturing on July 20, 2007. After the amendment and restatement in connection with the Insignia Acquisition, borrowings under the Tranche A term facility and revolving facility bore interest at varying rates based on our option, at either the applicable LIBOR plus 3.00% to 3.75% or the alternate base rate plus 2.00% to 2.75%, in both cases as determined by reference to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA, which is defined in the amended and restated credit agreement. After the amendment and restatement in connection with the Insignia Acquisition, borrowings under the Tranche B term facility bore interest at varying rates based on our option at either the applicable LIBOR plus 4.25% or the alternate base rate plus 3.25%.

In connection with the October 14, 2003 refinancing of our credit facilities and the signing of a new amended and restated credit agreement, the former Tranche A term facility and Tranche B term facility were combined into a new single term loan facility. The new term loan facility, of which $300.0 million was drawn on October 14, 2003, requires quarterly principal payments of $2.5 million through September 30, 2008 and matures on December 31, 2008. Borrowings under the new term loan facility bear interest at varying rates based on our option at either LIBOR plus 3.25% or the alternate base rate plus 2.25%. The maturity date and interest rate for borrowings under the revolving credit facility remain unchanged in the new amended and restated credit agreement. The revolving line of credit requires the repayment of any outstanding balance for a period of 45 consecutive days commencing on any day in the month of December of each year as determined by us. We repaid our revolving credit facility as of July 23, 2003 and November 5, 2002, and at December 31, 2003 and 2002, we had no revolving line of credit principal outstanding. At December 31, 2003, we had an aggregate of $10.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility, which reduces the amount we may borrow under the revolving credit facility. The total amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facilities included in senior secured term loans and current maturities of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $297.5 million and $221.0 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

On May 22, 2003, CBRE Escrow, Inc. (CBRE Escrow), a wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE, issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9³/4% Senior Notes due May 15, 2010 The proceeds of this issuance were placed in escrow pending the completion of the Insignia Acquisition on July 23, 2003, on which date the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

proceeds were released from escrow in order to partially fund the acquisition. CBRE Escrow merged with and into CBRE, and CBRE assumed all obligations with respect to the 9³/4% Senior Notes. The 9³/4% Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE, senior to all of its current and future unsecured indebtedness, but subordinated to all of CBRE’s current and future secured indebtedness. The 9³/4% Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by us and substantially all our domestic subsidiaries. Interest accrues at a rate of 9³/4% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. The 9³/4% Senior Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, on or after May 15, 2007 at 104.875% of par on that date and at declining prices thereafter. In addition, before May 15, 2006, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the originally issued amount of the 9³/4% Senior Notes at 109³/4% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, solely with the net cash proceeds from public equity offerings. In the event of a change of control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase the 9³/4% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the 9³/4% Senior Notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $200.0 million as of December 31, 2003.

In order to partially finance the 2001 Merger, Blum CB issued $229.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2011 for approximately $225.6 million, net of discount, on June 7, 2001. CBRE assumed all obligations with respect to the 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes in connection with the 2001 Merger on July 20, 2001. The 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. The 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes require semi-annual payments of interest in arrears on June 15 and December 15 and are redeemable in whole or in part on or after June 15, 2006 at 105.625% of par on that date and at declining prices thereafter. In addition, before June 15, 2004, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the originally issued amount of the notes at 111¹/4% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, solely with the net cash proceeds from public equity offerings. In the event of a change of control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase the 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized discount, was $226.2 million and $225.9 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Also in connection with the 2001 Merger, we issued $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 16% Senior Notes due July 20, 2011. The 16% Senior Notes are unsecured obligations, senior to all of our current and future unsecured indebtedness but subordinated to all of our current and future secured indebtedness. Interest accrues at a rate of 16% per year and is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest may be paid in kind to the extent our ability to pay cash dividends is restricted by the terms of our amended and restated credit agreement. Additionally, interest in excess of 12.0% may, at our option, be paid in kind through July 2006. We elected to pay in kind interest in excess of 12.0% or 4.0%, that was payable on April 20, 2002, July 20, 2002, October 20, 2002, January 20, 2003 and April 20, 2003. The 16% Senior Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at 116.0% of par commencing on July 20, 2001 and at declining prices thereafter. On October 27, 2003 and December 29, 2003, we redeemed $20.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of the 16% Senior Notes and paid $2.9 million of premiums in connection with these redemptions. In the event of a change in control, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase all of the outstanding 16% Senior Notes at 101.0% of par. The amount of the 16% Senior Notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized discount, was $35.5 million and $61.9 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The 16% Senior Notes are solely our obligation to repay. CBRE has neither guaranteed nor pledged any of its assets as collateral for the 16% Senior Notes and is not obligated to provide cash flow to us for repayment of these 16% Senior Notes. However, we have no substantive assets or operations other than our investment in CBRE to meet any required principal and interest payments on the 16% Senior Notes. We will depend on CBRE’s cash flows to fund principal and interest payments as they come due.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Our amended and restated credit agreement and the indentures governing our 9³/4% Senior Notes, our 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes and our 16% Senior Notes each contain numerous restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or distributions to stockholders, repurchase capital stock or debt, make investments, sell assets or subsidiary stock, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale/leaseback transactions, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers. The amendment and restatement of the credit agreement modified the financial covenant ratios to provide a greater degree of flexibility than the prior credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement requires us to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of interest and certain fixed charges and a maximum leverage and senior secured leverage ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to funded debt. The credit agreement required, and after the amendment and restatement continues to require, us to pay a facility fee based on the total amount of the unused commitment.

During 2001, a joint venture that we consolidate incurred $37.2 million of non-recourse mortgage debt secured by a real estate investment. During the third quarter of 2003, the maturity date on this non-recourse debt was extended to July 31, 2008. In our accompanying consolidated balance sheets, this debt comprised $41.8 million of our other long-term debt at December 31, 2003 and $40.0 million of our other short-term borrowings at December 31, 2002. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2003, this joint venture incurred an additional $1.9 million of non-recourse mortgage debt with a maturity date of June 15, 2004. At December 31, 2003, $2.0 million of this non-recourse debt is included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

We had short-term borrowings of $270.1 million and $123.2 million with related average interest rates of 2.7% and 4.3% as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

One of our subsidiaries has a credit agreement with Residential Funding Corporation (RFC) for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold. On December 16, 2002, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement effective December 20, 2002. The agreement provided for a revolving warehouse line of credit of $200.0 million, bore interest at the lower of one-month LIBOR or 2.0% (RFC Base Rate) plus 1.0% and expired on August 31, 2003. On June 25, 2003, the agreement was modified to provide a temporary revolving line of credit increase of $200.0 million that resulted in a total line of credit equaling $400.0 million, which expired on August 30, 2003 and changed the RFC Base Rate to one-month LIBOR. By amendment on August 29, 2003, the expiration date of the agreement was extended to September 25, 2003. On September 26, 2003, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement. The agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $200.0 million, bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% and expires on August 31, 2004. By amendment on November 14, 2003, the agreement was further modified to provide a revolving line of credit increase of $50.0 million that resulted in a total line of credit equaling $250.0 million.

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, we had a maximum of $272.5 million and $309.0 million revolving line of credit principal outstanding with RFC. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, we had a $230.8 million and a $63.1 million warehouse line of credit outstanding, which are included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we had a $230.8 million and a $63.1 million warehouse receivable, representing mortgage loans funded through the line of credit that had not been purchased as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which are also included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Insignia, which we acquired in July 2003, issued acquisition loan notes in connection with previous acquisitions of businesses in the U.K. The acquisition loan notes are payable to the sellers of the previously acquired U.K. businesses and are secured by restricted cash deposits in approximately the same amount. The

acquisition loan notes are redeemable semi-annually at the discretion of the note holder and have a final maturity date of April 2010. At December 31, 2003, $12.2 million of the acquisition loan notes were outstanding and are included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In connection with our acquisition of Westmark Realty Advisors in 1995, one of our subsidiaries issued approximately $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (Westmark Senior Notes). The Westmark Senior Notes are secured by letters of credit equal to approximately 50% of the outstanding balance at December 31, 2003. The Westmark Senior Notes are redeemable at the discretion of the note holders and have final maturity dates of June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2002, all of the Westmark Senior Notes bore interest at 9.0%. On January 1, 2003 the interest rate on some of these notes was converted to varying rates equal to the interest rate in effect with respect to amounts outstanding under our credit agreement. On January 1, 2005, the interest rate on all of the other Westmark Senior Notes will be adjusted to equal the interest rate then in effect with respect to amounts outstanding under our credit agreement. The amount of the Westmark Senior Notes included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $12.1 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.

Our subsidiaries in Europe have had a Euro cash pool loan since 2001. The Euro cash pool loan is an overdraft line for our European operations issued by HSBC Bank. The Euro cash pool loan has no stated maturity date and bears interest at varying rates based on a base rate as defined by the bank plus 2.5%. The amount of the Euro cash pool loan included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $11.5 million and $7.9 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

One of our subsidiaries has a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase. The credit agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $20.0 million, bears interest at 1.0% in excess of the bank‘s cost of funds and expires on May 28, 2004. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, no amounts were outstanding under this line of credit.

In connection with the Insignia Acquisition, on July 23, 2003, we immediately repaid Insignia’s outstanding revolving credit facility of $28.0 million and subordinated credit facility of $15.0 million.

In connection with the sale of real estate investment assets by Insignia to Island on July 23, 2003 (See Note 3), Insignia agreed to maintain letter of credit support for real estate investment assets that were subject to the purchase agreement until the earlier of (1) the third anniversary of the completion of the sale, (2) the date on which the letter of credit is no longer required pursuant to the applicable real estate investment asset agreement or (3) the completion of a sale of the relevant underlying real estate investment asset. As of December 31, 2003, an aggregate of approximately $10.2 million of this letter of credit support remained outstanding under the purchase agreement. Also in connection with the sale, Insignia agreed to maintain a $1.3 million guarantee of a repayment obligation with respect to one of the real estate investment assets. Island agreed to reimburse us for 50% of any draws against these letters of credit or the repayment guarantee while they are outstanding and delivered a letter of credit to us in the amount of approximately $2.9 million as security for Island’s reimbursement obligation. As a result of this reimbursement obligation, we effectively retain potential liability for 50% of any future draws against these letters of credit and the repayment guarantee. However, there can be no assurance that Island will be able to reimburse us in the event of any draws against the letters of credit or the repayment guarantee or that Island’s future reimbursement obligations will not exceed the amount of the letter of credit provided to us by Island.

One of our subsidiaries previously executed an agreement with Fannie Mae to initially fund the purchase of a commercial mortgage loan portfolio using proceeds from its RFC line of credit. Subsequently, a 100% participation in the loan portfolio was sold to Fannie Mae and we retained the credit risk on the first 2% of losses incurred on the underlying portfolio of commercial mortgage loans. The current loan portfolio balance is $98.6 million and we have collateralized a portion of our obligations to cover the first 1% of losses through a letter of credit in favor of Fannie Mae for a total of approximately $1.0 million. The other 1% is covered in the form of a guarantee to Fannie Mae.

We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $22.6 million as of December 31, 2003, excluding letters of credit related to our outstanding indebtedness. Approximately $10.8 million of these letters of credit secure certain office leases and are outstanding pursuant to the revolving credit facility under our amended and restated credit agreement. An additional $10.8 million of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement with Island described above and are outstanding pursuant to a reimbursement agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia. Under this agreement, we may issue up to a maximum of approximately $11.0 million of letters of credit outstanding at any one time and the outstanding letters of credit are secured by the same assets of ours that secure our amended and restated credit agreement. The remaining outstanding letters of credit have been issued pursuant to a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank for the Fannie Mae letter of credit described above. The outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2003 expire at varying dates through

August 31, 2004. However, we are obligated to renew the letters of credit related to certain office leases until 2023, the letters of credit related to the Island Purchase Agreement until as late as July 23, 2006 and the Fannie Mae letter of credit until our obligation to cover potential credit losses is satisfied.

We had guarantees totaling $9.0 million as of December 31, 2003, which consisted primarily of guarantees of property debt as well as the obligations to Island and Fannie Mae discussed above. Approximately $4.8 million of the guarantees are related to investment activity that is scheduled to expire in October 2008. Approximately $1.7 million of the guarantees are related to office leases in Europe and Asia. These guarantees will expire at the end of the lease terms. The guarantee obligation related to the agreement with Fannie Mae discussed above will expire in December 2004. The guarantee related to the Island Purchase Agreement will expire on the May 30, 2004 maturity date of the underlying loan agreement, unless such loan is renewed, modified or extended prior to such date to provide for a later maturity date.

An important part of the strategy for our investment management business involves investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. These co-investments typically range from 2% to 5% of the equity in a particular fund. As of December 31, 2003, we had committed $26.6 million to fund future co-investments.

As a result of the Insignia Acquisition and the current year’s tax loss, at December 31, 2003, we had U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $67.7 million, translating to a deferred tax asset before valuation allowance of $23.7 million. Approximately $3.8 million of these NOLs begin to expire in 2010 and the remainder begins to expire in 2019. There were also deferred tax assets of approximately $9.8 million related to state NOLs. The utilization of NOLs may be subject to certain limitations under U.S. federal and state laws.

Management determined that as of December 31, 2003, $58.8 million of deferred tax assets do not satisfy the recognition criteria set forth in SFAS No. 109. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded for this amount. The valuation allowance was recorded against deferred tax assets during the 2001 Merger and the Insignia Acquisition, with the offset to goodwill. Accordingly, any tax benefits subsequently recognized will reduce goodwill.

A deferred U.S. tax liability has not been provided on the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries because it is our intent to permanently reinvest these earnings. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, which have been, or are intended to be, permanently invested in accordance with APB No. 23, “Accounting for Income Taxes—Special Areas,” aggregated $79.0 million at December 31, 2003. The determination of the tax liability upon repatriation is not practicable.

15. Stockholders’ Equity

We are authorized to issue 425,000,000 shares of common stock, including 325,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, both with $0.01 par value per share. The holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes for each share. There are no differences between the two classes of common stock other than the number of votes. The holders of Class A and Class B common stock shall share equally on a per-share basis all dividends and other cash, stock or property distributions.

Upon written request of any holder of Class B common stock, any shares will be automatically converted on a share-for-share basis into the same number of shares of Class A common stock. In addition, upon any transfer, sale or other disposition of shares of Class B common stock, other than transfers to certain permitted transferees, such shares shall be converted into shares of Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis. Also, upon completion of an underwritten public offering in which we become listed on a national securities exchange, all outstanding shares of Class B common stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis.

As long as Class B common stock is outstanding, if a holder of Class B common stock purchases any shares of Class A common stock, the holder may convert the Class A common shares on a share-for-share basis into the same number of shares of Class B common stock.

All options and warrants for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001 were anti-dilutive since we reported a net loss in these periods. Any assumed exercise of options or warrants would have been anti-dilutive as they would have resulted in a lower loss per share.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets do not include the net assets of escrow, agency and fiduciary funds, which are held by us on behalf of clients and which amounted to $626.3 million and $414.6 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Value is defined as the amount at which an instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value estimates of financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we might pay or receive in actual market transactions. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: This balance includes cash and cash equivalents with maturities of less than three months. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Short-Term Borrowings: The majority of this balance represents the warehouse line of credit. Due to their short-term maturities and variable interest rates, fair value approximates carrying value (See Note 12).

11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes: Based on dealers’ quotes, the estimated fair value of the 11¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes is $256.5 million and $208.4 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Their actual carrying value totaled $226.2 million and $225.9 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively (See Note 12).

9³/4% Senior Notes: Based on dealers’ quotes, the estimated fair value of the 9³/4% Senior Notes is $222.0 million at December 31, 2003. Their actual carrying value totaled $200.0 million at December 31, 2003 (See Note 12).

16% Senior Notes: There was no trading activity for the 16% Senior Notes, which are due in 2011. Their carrying value totaled $35.5 million and $61.9 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively (see Note 12).

Senior Secured Terms Loans & Other Long-Term Debt: Estimated fair values approximate respective carrying values because the majority of these instruments are based on variable interest rates (see Note 12).

19. Merger-Related and Other Nonrecurring Charges

We recorded merger-related charges of $36.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 in connection with the Insignia Acquisition. The charges consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

22. Related Party Transactions

Included in other current and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are employee loans of $31.7 million and $5.9 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The majority of these loans represent sign-on and retention bonuses issued or assumed in connection with the Insignia Acquisition as well as prepaid retention and recruitment awards issued to employees. These loans are at varying principal amounts, bear interest at rates up to 10% per annum and mature on various dates through 2008. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding employee loan balances included a $0.3 million loan to Ray Wirta, our Chief Executive Officer, and a $0.2 million loan to Brett White, our President. These non-interest bearing loans to Mr. Wirta and Mr. White were issued during 2002 and were due and payable on December 31, 2003. The compensation committee of our board of directors forgave Mr. Wirta’s and Mr. White’s loans in full, effective January 1, 2004.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets also include $4.7 million and $4.8 million of notes receivable from sale of stock as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These notes are primarily comprised of full recourse loans to our employees, officers and certain shareholders, and are secured by our common stock that is owned by the borrowers. These recourse loans are at varying principal amounts, require quarterly interest payments, bear interest at rates up to 10.0% per annum and mature on various dates through 2010.

Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan (EIP), Mr. Wirta purchased 30,000 shares of CBRE common stock in 2000 at a purchase price of $12.875 per share that was paid for by the delivery of a full recourse promissory note bearing interest at 7.40%. As part of the 2001 Merger, the 30,000 shares of CBRE common stock were exchanged for 83,141 shares of our Class B common stock, which shares were substituted for the CBRE shares as security for the note. All interest charged on the outstanding promissory note balance for any year is forgiven if Mr. Wirta’s performance produces a high enough level of bonus, with approximately $7,500 of interest forgiven for each $10,000 of bonus. In 2003, our board of directors forgave all 2002 interest on Mr. Wirta’s promissory note. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, Mr. Wirta had an outstanding loan balance of $385,950, which is included in notes receivable from sale of stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Pursuant to the EIP, Mr. White purchased 25,000 shares of CBRE common stock in 1998 at a purchase price of $38.50 per share and 20,000 shares of CBRE common stock in 2000 at a purchase price of $12.875 per share. These purchases were paid for by the delivery of full recourse promissory notes. A First Amendment to Mr. White’s 1998 promissory note provided that the portion of the then outstanding principal in excess of the fair market value of the shares would be forgiven in the event that Mr. White was an employee of ours or of our subsidiaries on November 16, 2002 and the fair market value of our common stock was at least $38.50 per share on November 16, 2002. Mr. White’s promissory note was subsequently amended, terminating the First Amendment and adjusting the original 1998 Stock Purchase Agreement by reducing the purchase price from $13.89 to $5.77. During 2002, the 69,284 shares held as security for the Second Amended Promissory Note were tendered as full payment for this note. The remaining note delivered by Mr. White bears interest at 7.40%. As part of the 2001 Merger, the 20,000 shares of CBRE common stock purchased by Mr. White were exchanged for 55,427 shares of our common Class B common stock, which shares were substituted for CBRE shares as security for the note. All interest charged on the outstanding promissory note balances for any year is forgiven if Mr. White’s performance produces a high enough level of bonus, with approximately $7,500 of interest forgiven for each $10,000 of bonus. In 2003, our board of directors forgave all 2002 interest on Mr. White’s promissory note. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, Mr. White had an outstanding loan balance $257,300, which is included in notes receivable from the sale of stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, Mr. White also had an outstanding loan balance of $179,886 and $164,832, respectively, which is included in notes receivable from the sale of stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This outstanding loan relates to the acquisition of 12,500 shares of CBRE’s common stock prior to the 2001 Merger. Subsequent to the 2001 Merger, these shares were converted into 34,642 shares of our common stock and the related loan amount was carried forward. As amended, this loan accrues interest at 6.0%, and the principal and all accrued interest is payable on or before April 23, 2010. Mr. White repaid this loan in full on February 10, 2004.

At the time of the 2001 Merger, Mr. Wirta delivered to us an $80,000 promissory note, which bore interest at 10% per year, as payment for the purchase of 13,857 shares of our Class B common stock. Mr. Wirta repaid this promissory note in full in April of 2002. Additionally, Mr. Wirta and Mr. White delivered full-recourse notes in the amounts of $512,504 and $209,734, respectively, as payment for a portion of the shares of Class A common stock purchased in connection with the 2001 Merger. These notes bear interest at 10% per year. During the year ended December 31, 2002, Mr. Wirta paid down his loan amount by $40,004 and Mr. White paid off his note in its entirety. During the year ended December 31, 2003, Mr. Wirta paid down his loan amount by $70,597. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, Mr. Wirta has an outstanding loan balance of $401,903 and $472,500, respectively, which is included in notes receivable from sale of stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In the event that our common stock is not freely tradable on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market by May 30, 2004, we agreed in 2001 to loan Mr. Wirta up to $3.0 million on a full-recourse basis to enable him to exercise an existing option to acquire shares held by the Koll Holding Company if Mr. Wirta is employed by us at the time of exercise, was terminated without cause or resigned for good reason. This loan will become repayable upon the earliest to occur of the following: (1) 90 days following termination of his employment, other than without cause or by him for good reason, (2) seven months following the date our common stock becomes freely tradable as described above or (3) the receipt of proceeds from the sale of the pledged shares. This loan will bear interest at the prime rate in effect on the date of the loan, compounded annually, and will be repayable to the extent of any net proceeds received by Mr. Wirta upon sale of any shares of our common stock. Mr. Wirta is required to pledge the shares received upon exercise of the option as security for the loan.

1. Business

Insignia Financial Group, Inc. (“Insignia” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York, New York, is a leading provider of international real estate and real estate financial services, with operations in the United States, United Kingdom, France, continental Europe, Asia and Latin America. Insignia’s real estate service businesses offer a diversified array of services including commercial leasing, sales brokerage, corporate real estate consulting, property management, property development, re-development and real estate oriented financial services. In addition to traditional real estate services, Insignia has historically deployed its own capital, together with the capital of third party investors, in principal real estate investments, including co-investment in existing property assets, real estate development and managed private investment funds. The Company’s real estate service operations and real estate investments are more fully described below.

Insignia’s primary real estate service businesses include the following: Insignia/ESG (United States, commercial real estate services), Insignia Richard Ellis (United Kingdom, commercial real estate services) and Insignia Bourdais (France, commercial real estate services; acquired in December 2001). Insignia also offers commercial real estate services throughout continental Europe, Asia and Latin America. Insignia’s other businesses in continental Europe include operations in Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland and Belgium. Insignia’s New York-based residential businesses—Insignia Douglas Elliman and Insignia Residential Group—were sold on March 14, 2003 (see further discussion under the caption “Discontinued Operations” in Note 6).

2. Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

3. Reclassifications

Certain amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on reported net loss.

4. Seasonality

The Company’s revenues are substantially derived from tenant representation, agency leasing, investment sales and consulting services. Revenues generated by these services are transactional in nature and therefore affected by seasonality, availability of space, competition in the market place and changes in business and capital market conditions. A significant portion of the expenses associated with these transactional activities are directly correlated to revenue. Also, certain conditions to revenue recognition for leasing commissions are outside of the Company’s control.

Consistent with the industry in general, the Company’s revenues and operating income have historically been lower during the first three calendar quarters than in the fourth quarter. The reasons for the concentration of earnings in the fourth quarter include a general, industry-wide focus on completing transactions by calendar year

F-85

Index to Financial Statements

INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

end, as well as the constant nature of the Company’s non-variable expenses throughout the year versus the seasonality of its revenues. This phenomenon has generally produced a historical pattern of higher revenues and income in the last half of the year and a gradual slowdown in transactional activity and corresponding operating results during the first quarter. This tendency notwithstanding, it is possible that any fourth quarter may not be the best performing quarter of a particular year. Insignia’s quarterly earnings are also susceptible to the potential adverse effects of unforeseen market disruptions like that of the third quarter of 2001 caused by the events of September 11. Consequently, future revenue production and earnings may be difficult to predict and comparisons from period to period may be difficult to interpret.

5. Foreign Currency

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The British pound and euro represent the only foreign currencies of material operations, which collectively generated approximately 30% of the Company’s service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Revenues and expenses of all foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are deferred as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investment. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of foreign receivables or payables, are included in the consolidated statements of operations in determining net income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, European operations were translated to U.S. dollars at average exchange rates of $1.61 to the British pound and $1.10 to the euro. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s European operations have been translated at exchange rates of $1.65 to the British pound and $1.14 to the euro at June 30, 2003.

6. Discontinued Operations

On March 14, 2003, Insignia completed the sale of its New York-based residential businesses, Insignia Residential Group and Insignia Douglas Elliman, to Montauk Battery Realty. Montauk Battery Realty is located on Long Island, New York and its principal owners are New Valley Corp. and Dorothy Herman, chief executive officer of Prudential Long Island Realty. The total purchase price of $71.75 million was paid or is payable as follows: (i) $66.75 million paid in cash to Insignia at the closing of the transaction; (ii) $500,000 in cash held in escrow on the closing date and up to another $500,000 held in escrow pending receipt of specified commissions; and (iii) the assumption by the buyer of up to $4.0 million in existing contingent earn-out payment obligations of Insignia Douglas Elliman. The escrowed amounts are available to secure Insignia’s indemnity obligations under the purchase and sale agreement. Any amounts remaining in escrow on March 14, 2004 and not securing previously made indemnity claims will be released to Insignia.

Insignia Douglas Elliman, acquired by Insignia in June 1999, provides sales and rental services in the New York City residential cooperative, condominium and rental apartment market and also operates in upscale suburban markets in Long Island (Manhasset, Locust Valley and Port Washington/Sands Point). Insignia Residential Group is the largest manager of cooperative, condominium and rental apartments in the New York metropolitan area, providing full service third-party fee management for more than 250 properties, comprising approximately 60,000 residential units. These residential businesses collectively produced service revenues in 2002 and 2001 of $133.7 million and $119.2 million, respectively.

F-86

INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, Insignia recognized a net gain of approximately $3.8 million (net of $4.7 million of applicable income taxes) in connection with the sale of its residential businesses. These businesses also generated an operating loss of $360,000 on revenues of $20.5 million during the 2003 period. The gain on sale and operating loss are reported as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes. During the first quarter of 2002, Insignia recognized income on disposal of $265,000 (net of applicable taxes of $1.8 million) related to the sale of Realty One, the Company’s former single-family home brokerage business.

The following tables summarize the aggregate assets and liabilities of Insignia Douglas Elliman and Insignia Residential Group at December 31, 2002 and the results of operations and income on disposal attributed to Insignia Douglas Elliman (2003), Insignia Residential Group (2003) and Realty One (2002) during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Other	3 years		5,364		3,873		1,491

Total		$	60,709	$	56,025	$	4,684

All intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives with no residual value. Intangibles included in “Other” consist of customer backlog, non-compete agreements, franchise agreements and trade names. The aggregate acquired intangible amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 totaled $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The decline in amortization expense in 2003 is attributed to property management contracts and customer backlog that were fully amortized in 2002.

8. Real Estate Investments

Insignia has historically invested in real estate assets and real estate debt securities. Insignia has engaged in real estate investment generally through: (i) investment in operating properties through co-investments with various clients or, in limited instances, by itself; (ii) investment in and development of commercial real estate on its own behalf and through co-investments; and (iii) minority ownership in and management of private investment funds, whose investments primarily consist of securitized real estate debt.

At June 30, 2003, the Company’s real estate investments totaled $131.4 million, consisting of the following: (i) $19.3 million in minority-owned operating properties; (ii) $87.2 million of real estate carrying value attributed to three real estate investment entities consolidated by Insignia for financial reporting purposes; (iii) $8.1 million in four minority owned office development properties; (iv) $1.7 million in a land parcel held for development;

F-88

Index to Financial Statements

INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

and (v) $15.1 million in minority-owned private investment funds owning debt securities. The properties owned by the consolidated investment entities are subject to mortgage debt of $72.0 million and Insignia’s investment in the properties totaled $22.3 million at June 30, 2003. Insignia’s investment in consolidated properties includes $19.2 million invested in a marina-based development property in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Insignia’s minority-owned investments in operating real estate assets include office, retail, industrial, apartment and hotel properties. At June 30, 2003, these real estate assets consisted of over 5.8 million square feet of commercial property and 1,967 multi-family apartment units and hotel rooms. The Company’s minority ownership interests in co-investment property range from 1% to 33%.

Gains realized from sales of real estate by minority owned entities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 totaled $734,000 and $1.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded impairment against its real estate investments of $3.9 million on five property assets. The Company evaluates its real estate investments on a quarterly basis for evidence of impairment. Impairment losses are recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate declines in value of such investments below carrying value and the related undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying amount. The impairments were based on changes in factors including increased vacancies, lower market rental rates and decreased projections of operating cash flows which diminished prospects for recovery of the Company’s full investment upon final disposition. The gains realized from real estate sales and the losses taken on impairments are included in the caption “equity (loss) earnings in unconsolidated ventures” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s only financial obligations with respect to its real estate investments, beyond its investment, are (i) partial construction financing guarantees, backed by letters of credit, totaling $8.9 million; (ii) other letters of credit and guarantees of property debt totaling $2.8 million; and (iii) future capital commitments for capital improvements and additional asset purchases totaling $2.3 million.

9. Debt

At June 30, 2003, Insignia’s debt consisted of the following:

The senior credit facility bears interest at a margin above LIBOR, which was 2.0% at June 30, 2003. In March 2003, Insignia repaid $67.0 million on the senior revolving credit facility as a result of the March 14, 2003

F-89

sale of its residential businesses, lowering its outstanding balance to $28.0 million. In conjunction with the pay-down, the commitment under the senior credit facility was reduced from $230.0 million to $165.0 million. The senior revolving credit facility matures in May 2004. The subordinated credit facility borrowings, which are subordinate to Insignia’s senior credit facility, bear interest at an annual rate of 11.25%, payable quarterly. Insignia may borrow the remaining $22.5 million available under this credit facility through the period ending in December 2003. The subordinated debt matures in June 2009. The acquisition loan notes are payable to sellers of the acquired U.K. businesses and are backed by restricted cash deposits in approximately the same amount. The loan notes are redeemable semi-annually at the discretion of the note holder and have a final maturity date of April 2010. The real estate mortgage notes are secured by property assets owned by consolidated subsidiaries. Maturities on the real estate mortgage notes range from December 2004 to October 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002

1. Business

Insignia’s real estate service businesses specialize in commercial leasing, sales brokerage, corporate real estate consulting, property management, property development and re-development, apartment brokerage and leasing, condominium and cooperative apartment management, real estate-oriented financial services, equity co-investment and other services. In 2002, Insignia’s primary real estate service businesses include the following: Insignia/ESG (U.S. commercial real estate services), Insignia Richard Ellis (U.K. commercial real estate services), Insignia Bourdais (French commercial real estate services; acquired in December 2001), Insignia Douglas Elliman (New York apartment brokerage and leasing) and Insignia Residential Group (New York condominium, cooperative and rental apartment management). Insignia’s commercial real estate service operations in continental Europe, Asia and Latin America include the following locations: Madrid and Barcelona, Spain; Frankfurt, Germany; Milan and Bologna, Italy; Brussels, Belgium; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Tokyo, Japan; Hong Kong; Beijing and Shanghai, China; Bangkok, Thailand; Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi, India; Manila, Philippines; and Mexico City, Mexico. The Company also owns 10% of an Irish commercial services company with offices in Dublin, the Republic of Ireland and Belfast, Northern Ireland.

In addition to traditional real estate services, Insignia has historically deployed its own capital, together with the capital of third party investors, in principal real estate investments, including co-investment in existing property assets, real estate development and managed private investment funds.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

Insignia’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries and all entities over which the Company exercises voting control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Entities in which the Company owns less than a majority interest and has substantial influence are recorded on the equity method of accounting (net of payments to certain employees in respect of equity grants or rights to proceeds).

In one instance, a minority-owned partnership (with additional promotional interests in profits depending on performance) is consolidated by virtue of general partner control. Since the cumulative losses of the partnership have exceeded the limited partners’ original investment, the partnership is consolidated into Insignia’s financial statements and no minority interest is reflected, even though Insignia holds a minority economic interest.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions are used in the evaluation and financial reporting for, among other things, bad debts, self-insurance

F-107

Index to Financial Statements

INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

liabilities, intangibles and investment valuations, deferred taxes and pension costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net loss or total stockholders’ equity previously reported.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The amount of cash on deposit in federally insured institutions generally exceeds the limit on insured deposits. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2002 restricted cash consisted of approximately $17.3 million in cash pledged to secure the bond guarantee of notes issued in connection with the Richard Ellis Group Limited (“REGL”) and St. Quintin Holdings Limited (“St. Quintin”) acquisitions and approximately $4.2 million related to accounts of the consolidated real estate entities.

Real Estate Investments

Insignia has invested in real estate assets and real estate related debt securities. Generally, the Company’s investment strategy involves identifying investment opportunities and investing as a minority owner in entities formed to acquire such assets. The Company’s minority-owned investments are generally accounted for under the equity method of accounting due to the Company’s influence over the operational decisions made with respect to the real estate entities. The Company’s portion of earnings in these real estate entities is reported in equity earnings in unconsolidated ventures in its consolidated statements of operations, including gains on sales of property and net of impairments. The Company’s share of unrealized gains on marketable equity and debt securities available for sale is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Income from dispositions of minority-owned development assets is reported in real estate services revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s policy with respect to the timing of recognition of promoted profit participation interests in its real estate investments is to record such amounts upon collection.

Each entity in which the Company holds a real estate investment is a special purpose entity, the assets of which are subject to the obligations only of that entity. Each entity’s debt, except for limited and specific guarantees and other commitments aggregating $14.0 million, is either (i) non-recourse except to the real estate assets of the subject entity (subject to limited exceptions standard in such non-recourse financing, including the misapplication of rents or environmental liabilities), or (ii) an obligation solely of such limited liability entity and thus having no recourse to other assets of the Company.

The Company provides real estate services to and receives real estate service fees from the entities comprising its principal investment activities. Such fees are generally derived from the following services: (i) property management, (ii) asset management, (iii) development management, (iv) investment management, (v) leasing, (vi) acquisition, (vii) sales and (viii) financings. With respect to fees that are currently recorded as expense by the entities, the Company includes the fees in current income, while its share as owner of such fee is

F-108

Index to Financial Statements

INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

reflected in the income or loss from the investment entity. If the fee is capitalized by the investment entity, the Company records as income only the portion of the fee attributable to third party ownership and defers the portion attributable to its ownership.

The Company evaluates all real estate investments on a quarterly basis for evidence of impairment. Impairment losses are recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate declines in value of such investments below carrying value and the related undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying amount. Generally, Insignia relies upon the expertise of its own property professionals to assess real estate values; however, in certain circumstances where Insignia considers its expertise limited with respect to a particular investment, third party valuations may also be obtained. Property valuations and estimates of related future cash flows are by nature subjective and will vary from actual results.

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which provides accounting guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Insignia early adopted SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 144 requires, in most cases, that gains/losses from dispositions of investment properties and all earnings from such properties be reported as “discontinued operations.” SFAS No. 144 is silent with respect to treatment of gains or losses from sales of investment property held in a joint venture. The Company has concluded that, as a matter of policy, all gains and losses realized from sales of minority owned property in its real estate co-investment program constitute earnings from a continuing line of business. Therefore, operating activity related to that investment program will continue to be included in income (loss) from continuing operations. However, SFAS No. 144 requires that gains or losses from sales of consolidated properties, if material, be reported as discontinued operations. As a result, the Company’s earnings from dispositions of consolidated properties would be excluded from reported income from continuing operations and included in discontinued operations, if material.

Consolidated Real Estate

At December 31, 2002, the Company consolidated three investment entities owning real estate property. These consolidated properties include a wholly owned retail property; a wholly owned marine development property and a minority owned residential property consolidated due to general partner control. Rental revenue attributable to the Company’s consolidated property operations are recognized when earned. Real estate is stated at depreciated cost. The cost of buildings and improvements include the purchase price of property, legal fees and acquisitions costs. Costs directly related to the development property are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development.

The Company periodically reviews its properties to determine if its carrying amounts will be recovered from future operating cash flows. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements, which could differ materially from actual results in future periods.

Development Activities

At December 31, 2002, the Company held minority investments in four office properties whose development the Company has directed. A variety of costs have been incurred in the development and leasing of these properties. Capitalized development costs include interest, internal wages, property taxes, insurance, and other project costs incurred during the period of development.

F-109

Index to Financial Statements

INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company’s capitalization policy on its development properties is guided by SFAS No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Costs, and SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties. The Company ceases capitalization when a property is held available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s real estate services revenues are generally recorded when the related services are performed or at closing in the case of real estate sales. Leasing commissions that are payable upon tenant occupancy, payment of rent or other events beyond the Company’s control are recognized upon the occurrence of such events. As certain conditions to revenue recognition for leasing commissions are outside of the Company’s control and are not clearly defined, judgment must be exercised in determining when such events have occurred. Revenues from tenant representation, agency leasing, investment sales and residential brokerage, which collectively comprise a substantial portion of Insignia’s service revenues, are transactional in nature and therefore subject to seasonality and changes in business and capital market conditions. As a consequence, the timing of transactions and resulting revenue recognition is difficult to predict.

Insignia’s revenue from property management services is generally based upon percentages of the revenue generated by the properties that it manages. In conjunction with the provision of management services, the Company customarily employs personnel (either directly or on behalf of the property owner) to provide services solely to the properties managed. In most instances, Insignia is reimbursed by the owners of managed properties for direct payroll related costs incurred in the employment of property personnel. The aggregate amount of such payroll cost reimbursements has ranged from $50.0 million to $60.0 million annually. Such payroll reimbursements are generally characterized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as a reduction of actual expenses incurred. This characterization is based on the following factors: (i) the property owner generally has authority over hiring practices and the approval of payroll prior to payment by the Company; (ii) Insignia is the primary obligor with respect to the property personnel, but bears little or no credit risk under the terms of the management contract; (iii) reimbursement to the Company is generally completed simultaneously with payment of payroll or soon thereafter; and (iv) the Company generally earns no margin in the arrangement, obtaining reimbursement only for actual cost incurred.

Advertising Expense

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $8,327,000 and $8,926,000 in advertising costs during 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Acquired Intangible Assets

The Company’s acquired intangible assets consist of property management contracts, favorable leases, non-competitive agreements, trademarks and franchises. Acquired intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over 3 to 20 years, and are reviewed when indicators of impairment exist. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment exist.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically ranging from 3 to 10 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The British pound and euro represent the only foreign currencies of material operations, which collectively generate approximately 25% of the Company’s annual revenues. All currencies other than the British pound, euro and dollar have comprised less than 1% of annual revenues. Revenues and expenses of all foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are deferred as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investment. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of foreign receivables or payables, are included in the consolidated statements of operations in determining net income. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s European operations have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates of $1.51 to the pound and $0.95 to the euro. For the twelve months of 2001, European operations were translated to U.S. dollars at average exchange rates of $1.44 and $0.90 to the pound and euro, respectively.

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s European operations have been translated at exchange rates of $1.60 to the pound and $1.05 to the euro at December 31, 2002.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized gains (losses) on marketable equity securities, foreign currency translation and minimum pension liability adjustments. At December 31, 2002, accumulated other comprehensive losses totaled $5.1 million (net of applicable taxes), comprised of unrealized gains on marketable securities of $1.1 million and foreign currency translation gains of $4.4 million and a minimum pension liability of $10.6 million.

Minority Interest

During the first half of 2000, Insignia consolidated EdificeRex.com, Inc. (“EdificeRex”), the Company’s internally developed internet-based business that launched in February 2000, and recorded net operating losses of approximately $9.3 million, or $3.2 million in excess of the Company’s investment. EdificeRex was de-consolidated in the third quarter of 2000, due to an equity restructuring that reduced the Company’s voting interest to approximately 47%. The $3.2 million excess loss was carried as a deferred credit on the Company’s balance sheet until EdificeRex disposed of all of its operating divisions and liquidated during the fourth quarter of 2001. At liquidation, the Company recognized the deferred credit of $3.2 million in earnings, which is included in losses from internet investments.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets that are unlikely to be realized. Federal income taxes are not provided on the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries because it has been the practice of the Company to reinvest those earnings in the businesses outside the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

Impairment

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, it retains the fundamental provisions of that Statement. It also supersedes the accounting and reporting of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions related to the disposal of a segment of a business. However, it retains the requirement in Opinion 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity either disposed of or classified as held for sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Insignia early adopted SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2001.

Impairment losses are recognized for long-lived assets held and used when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured for assets held for sale by comparing the fair value of assets (less costs to dispose) to their respective carrying amounts.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. As described in Note 4, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, generally 5 to 25 years, and evaluated for potential impairment by determining whether the underlying undiscounted cash flows of the acquired business were sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset.

Stock-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2002, the Company had four stock-based employee compensation plans that are described more fully in Note 14. Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2002. Awards under the Company’s plans vest over five years. The cost related to stock-based employee compensation included in the determination of net income for 2002 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards since the original effective date of SFAS 123. The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding awards in each period.

The Company’s pro forma information follows:


	2002			2001

Pro forma:
Income from continuing operations	$	6,556		$	4,014

Pro forma earnings per share—assuming dilution
Income from continuing operations		0.19			0.13
Net loss		(0.30	)		(0.72	)

The pro forma information has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options, warrants and unvested restricted stock awards granted under the fair value method with fair values estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	2002		2001
Risk-free interest rate	2.5	%	3.7	%
Dividend yield	N/A		N/A
Volatility factors of the expected market price	0.45		0.49
Weighted-average expected life of the options	3.9		4.3

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of transferable options and warrants with no vesting restrictions. This method requires the input of subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and weighted average expected life of the options. The Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of transferable options and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the value estimate. The Black-Scholes model is not the only reliable measure that could be used to determine the fair value of employee stock options. The Company believes that any and all valuations of employee stock options will necessarily be estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s future results could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including (i) a general economic downturn in the Company’s principal markets, most notably New York, London and Paris; (ii) unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations; (iii) changes in interest rates; and (iv) fluctuations in rental rates and real estate values.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities, such as preferred stock, options and warrants, had been issued or exercised.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The Interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes effective. A public enterprise with a variable interest in a variable interest entity created before February 1, 2003, shall apply this guidance (other than the required disclosures prior to the effective date) to that entity as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2003. The application of this Interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred and establishes fair value as the initial measurement of a liability. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost is recognized at the date of a commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

3. Discontinued Operations

Sale of Insignia Douglas Elliman and Insignia Residential Group

On March 14, 2003, Insignia completed the sale of its New York-based residential businesses, Insignia Douglas Elliman and Insignia Residential Group, to Montauk Battery Realty, LLC. Montauk Battery Realty is located on Long Island, New York and its principal owners are New Valley Corp. and Dorothy Herman, chief executive officer of Prudential Long Island Realty. Insignia Douglas Elliman, acquired by Insignia in June 1999, provides sales and rental services in the New York City residential cooperative, condominium and rental apartment market and also operates in upscale suburban markets in Long Island (Manhasset, Locust Valley and Port Washington/Sands Point). Insignia Residential Group is the largest manager of cooperative, condominium and rental apartments in the New York metropolitan area.

The financial terms of the sale included the payment of $66.75 million in cash to Insignia at closing of the transaction, $500,000 in cash held in escrow on the closing date and up to another $500,000 held in escrow pending receipt of specified commissions. In addition, the buyer acceded to existing contingent earn-out obligations of Insignia Douglas Elliman totaling up to $4.0 million, depending on the future of the business. The

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

escrowed amounts are available to secure Insignia’s indemnity obligations under the purchase and sale agreement. Any amounts remaining in escrow on March 14, 2004 and not securing previously made indemnity claims will be released to Insignia. Simultaneous with closing, Insignia paid down $67.0 million on its senior revolving credit facility, decreasing outstanding borrowings to $28.0 million. Insignia recognized a net gain of approximately $3.8 million (net of $4.7 million of applicable income taxes) during the first quarter of 2003 in connection with the sale of these residential businesses.

The operations of Insignia Douglas Elliman and Insignia Residential Group were discontinued in the first quarter of 2003. The Company’s statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 have been restated to classify the operations and cash flows of these residential businesses as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes.

Sale of Realty One

In December 2001, Insignia entered into a contract to sell its Realty One single-family home brokerage business and affiliated companies to Real Living, Inc., effective as of December 31, 2001. Real Living, Inc. is a privately held company formed by HER Realtors of Columbus, Ohio and Huff Realty of Cincinnati, Ohio. The sale closed on January 31, 2002. Proceeds from the sale potentially total $33.0 million, including approximately $29.0 million in cash received at closing (before extinguishment of $5.5 million of Realty One debt) and additional receipts aggregating as much as $4.0 million. The additional receipts include the following: (i) a $1.0 million reimbursement, collected in February 2002, for Realty One operating losses in January 2002; (ii) a potential earn-out of as much as $2 million receivable through 2003 (depending on the performance of the Realty One business); and (iii) a $1 million operating lease receivable over four years for the use of proprietary software developed by Insignia for an internet-based residential brokerage model. The $2.0 million earnout is receivable in increments of $1.0 million each for the 2002 and 2003 fiscal years. The first $1.0 million earnout for the 2002 fiscal year was achieved in full and be received by the Company in May 2003, as required by the terms of the sale. Remaining amounts due to Insignia under the terms of the sale totaling $2.7 million were included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002. Insignia recognized a loss in connection with the sale of Realty One of $17.6 million (net of applicable tax benefit of $4.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2001. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized net income of $4.9 million from discontinued operations, including $265,000 (net of tax), in post-closing adjustments in the first quarter and $4.7 million in the third quarter from the reduction of a valuation allowance on the tax benefit on the capital portion of the loss on sale. This capital loss was fully reserved in 2001 because of uncertainty of its deductibility due to loss disallowance rules in the Treasury Regulations and insufficient income of the appropriate character. In the third quarter of 2002, it was determined that the loss would be fully deductible for tax purposes, resulting in the realization of a tax benefit for financial reporting purposes.

4. Changes in Accounting Principles

Stock-Based Compensation

In September 2002, the Company adopted the fair value expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, in accounting for employee stock options. The accounting change results in the expensing of the estimated fair value of employee stock options granted by the Company, applied on a prospective basis for all stock options granted on or after January 1, 2002. The Company previously followed Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized when the exercise price of an employee stock option equals or exceeds the market price at issuance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

The Company issued 290,000 employee options during 2002. The fair value of these options has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) estimated stock price volatility of 40%; (ii) risk free interest rate of 2.5%; (iii) weighted average option life of 3.9 years; and (iv) a forfeiture rate of 3%. Under these assumptions, the aggregate value of the options totaled approximately $384,000, which is amortizable to expense over the vesting periods of six years. For 2002, stock compensation expense recognized totaled approximately $102,000.

The ultimate impact of the accounting change on the Company’s future earnings will depend on the number of options issued in the future, as to which the Company has no specific plan, and the estimated value of each option. Insignia does not expense the value of outstanding options issued before January 1, 2002.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 replaced APB 16 and requires the use of the purchase method for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. It also provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to impairment tests on an annual basis, at a minimum, or whenever events or circumstances occur indicating goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles might be impaired. Other acquired intangible assets with finite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001 and fully implemented SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. The Company identified its reporting units and determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those units as of January 1, 2002 for purposes of performing a required transitional goodwill impairment assessment within six months of adoption.

In early 2002, the Company performed internal analyses on its reporting units based on estimated industry multiples and the carrying values of tangible and intangible assets which demonstrated that the value of the Company’s U.S. commercial operation significantly exceeded its carrying value and that goodwill of the Asian operation was fully impaired.

These analyses also indicated potential impairment in the Company’s European operations and Insignia Douglas Elliman. The Company engaged Standard & Poor’s to value the European and Insignia Douglas Elliman operations and those appraisals indicated no impairment in the Company’s European operations and partial impairment in Insignia Douglas Elliman.

As a result of this evaluation, Insignia measured impairment for Insignia Douglas Elliman and the Asian business of an aggregate $30.0 million, before applicable taxes. The Company recorded a $20.6 million (net of tax benefit of $9.4 million) transitional goodwill impairment charge in earnings as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, effective January 1, 2002.

The Company concluded its annual impairment test as of December 31, 2002, and that test did not demonstrate further goodwill impairment. The estimation of business values for measuring goodwill impairment is highly subjective and selections of different projected income levels and valuation multiples within observed ranges can yield different results.

Amortization of goodwill (from continuing operations) totaled approximately $14.8 million for 2001. Elimination of goodwill amortization would have improved income from continuing operations by approximately

6. Acquisitions

The Company’s significant acquisitions during the last two years are discussed below. All acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of operations have been included in Insignia’s statement of operations from the respective date of acquisition. Contingent purchase consideration is generally accounted for as additional costs in excess of net assets of acquired businesses when incurred.

Groupe Bourdais

In late December 2001, Insignia completed the acquisition of Groupe Bourdais, one of France’s premier commercial real estate services companies. Groupe Bourdais now operates under the Insignia Bourdais name. The Insignia Bourdais purchase price consists of total potential consideration of approximately $50.2 million. Amounts paid and or accrued in cash or stock (534,125 common shares) at December 31, 2002 total approximately $31.7 million. Additional consideration up to approximately $18.5 million may be paid over the two years ending December 31, 2004, depending on the performance of the Insignia Bourdais operation. The acquisition consisted substantially of specifically identified intangible assets and goodwill. Identified intangible assets, included customer backlog, property management contracts, a non-compete agreement, franchise agreements, trademarks and a favorable premises lease. The results of Insignia Bourdais have been included in the Company’s financial statements since January 1, 2002.

Baker Commercial

In October 2001, Insignia acquired Baker Commercial Real Estate (“Baker”), a leading provider of commercial real estate services in the greater Dallas area. Baker provides tenant representation, land and investment property sales, and strategic real estate planning. The Baker acquisition augments Insignia’s existing regional tenant representation and investment sales capabilities in the greater Dallas area. The base purchase price was approximately $2.2 million and was paid in cash. Additional purchase consideration of up to $1.0 million payable over 2003 and 2004 is contingent on the future performance of the Dallas operations.

Other Information (Unaudited)

Pro forma unaudited results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001, assuming consummation of the Bourdais acquisition at January 1, 2001, is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

At December 31, 2002, the Company’s real estate investments totaled $134.1 million and consisted of the following (in thousands):


Minority interests in operating properties	$	21,109
Consolidated properties		85,205
Minority owned development properties		10,014
Land held for future development		1,726
Minority interests in real estate debt investment funds		16,081

Total Real Estate Investments	$	134,135

The real estate carrying amounts of the three consolidated properties at December 31, 2002 were financed by real estate mortgage notes encumbering the assets totaling $66.8 million. At December 31, 2002, Insignia had equity investments of approximately $21.7 million in these consolidated properties and has no further obligations to the subsidiaries or their creditors.

Insignia maintains an incentive compensation program pursuant to which certain employees, including executive officers, participate in the profits generated by its real estate investments, through grants of either equity interests (at the time investments are made) or contractual right to participate in proceeds from successful investments. Such grants generally consist of an aggregate of 50% to 63.5% of the cash proceeds paid to Insignia after Insignia has recovered its full investment plus a 10% per annum return thereon. In addition, upon disposition, the Company generally makes discretionary incentive payments of 5% to 10% to certain employees who directly contributed to the success of an investment. With respect to the private investment funds, employees are collectively entitled to share 55% to 60% of proceeds received by Insignia in respect of its promoted profits participation in those funds. Employees share only in promoted profits and are not entitled to any portion of earnings on the Company’s actual investment. Gains on sales of real estate and equity earnings for 2002 and 2001 are recorded net of employee entitlements and discretionary incentives of approximately $8.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively. The Company’s principal investment programs are more fully described below.

Property Investment

The Company maintains minority investments in operating real estate assets including office, retail, industrial, apartment and hotel properties. As of December 31, 2002, Insignia held equity investments totaling $21.1 million in 30 minority owned property assets. These properties consist of approximately 6.0 million square feet of commercial property and 1,967 multi-family apartment units and hotel rooms. The Company’s minority ownership interests in co-investment property range from 1% to 33%. Gains realized from sales of real estate by minority owned ventures totaled $4.2 million in 2002 and $11.0 million in 2001. Such amounts are included in the caption “equity earnings in unconsolidated ventures” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Insignia also consolidates two operating properties, a wholly owned retail property located in Norman, Oklahoma and a New York City apartment complex owned by a limited partnership in which the Company owns a 1% controlling general partner interest. These properties contain approximately 155,000 square feet of commercial space and 420 multi-family apartment units. With respect to the New York City apartment complex, in addition to its 1% interest, Insignia is entitled to approximately $1.3 million of the first $7.3 million distributed and approximately 45% of all additional distributions. In July 2002, Insignia invested approximately $1.3 million in the limited partnership as a new limited partner pursuant to a $1.5 million equity financing and the purchase of an existing partners interest. The remaining equity financing was invested in June 2002 by existing limited partners. Certain executives and other employees of Insignia have the right to acquire from the Company, at its

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

cost, approximately 50% of the $1.3 million limited partner investment made in July 2002. Such executives and employees have no other incentive grants or participation rights with respect to this investment.

Although Insignia’s economic interest in the New York City apartment complex at its initial investment was nominal (until the limited partners received a return of all invested capital), the Company commenced consolidating this property in its financial statements as of January 1, 2002 because (i) the partnership agreement for the property-owning partnership grants the general partner complete authority over the management and affairs of the partnership, including any sale or refinancing of its sole asset without limited partner approval, and (ii) accounting principle’s generally accepted in the United States require consolidation on the basis of voting control (regardless of the level of equity ownership).

At December 31, 2002, the carrying amounts of these two consolidated properties totaled $46.4 million, and non-recourse real estate mortgage debt totaled $46.8 million. In September 2002, a consolidated retail property was sold for a $1.3 million net gain. The gain is included under the caption “other income, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Development

The Company’s development program includes minority-owned office developments and a wholly owned marina based development located in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In July 2002, a subsidiary of the Company acquired three contiguous parcels of property and related leasehold rights in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, which comprise 32.3 acres of property, including 18 submerged acres with full water rights. The initial purchase price was approximately $35.0 million, paid with $18.5 million in cash and $20.0 million borrowed by the subsidiary under a non-recourse $40.0 million mortgage loan facility. The property is currently undergoing predevelopment activities together with operating activities of an existing marina. The property and its debt are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Insignia’s equity investment in the property totaled $19.3 million at December 31, 2002.

Insignia also has minority ownership in four office projects whose development is directed by the Company and owns a parcel of land in Denver, located adjacent to one of the office developments, that is held for future development. Development activities on all four office buildings have been completed other than tenant improvements associated with additional leasing. Insignia’s ownership in the four office developments ranges from 25% to 33% and all have commenced operations.

The Company’s only financial obligations with respect to the office developments, beyond its investment, are partial construction financing guarantees, backed by letters of credit, totaling $8.9 million. The Company’s investment in the office development assets and land parcel totaled $11.7 million at December 31, 2002. The Company has not initiated any new office developments since September 2000 and does not currently intend to further expand this development program.

Interest capitalized in connection with development properties totaled approximately $1,673,000 and $500,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Private Investment Funds

Insignia Opportunity Trust (“IOT”) is an Insignia-sponsored private real estate investment fund formed in late 1999. IOT, through its subsidiary operating partnership, Insignia Opportunity Partners (“IOP”), invests primarily in secured real estate debt instruments and, to a lesser extent, in other real estate debt and equity instruments, with a focus on below investment grade commercial mortgage-backed securities. IOT completed its

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

deployment of committed capital (totaling $71.0 million) in 2002, of which $10.0 million was invested by Insignia and the remainder by third-party investors. Insignia has an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 13% in IOT and IOP and also has a 10% non-subordinated promoted interest in IOP.

In September 2001, Insignia closed the capital-raising phase for a second real estate investment fund, Insignia Opportunity Partners II (“IOP II”), with $48.5 million of equity capital commitments from Insignia and third-party investors. IOP II invests primarily in secured real estate debt instruments, similar to the investment initiatives of IOT. IOP II had called $28.2 million of its total capital commitments at December 31, 2002. Insignia holds a 10% ownership in IOP II and serves as its day-to-day advisor.

Insignia realized total earnings from both funds of approximately $4.0 million (2002) and $2.6 million (2001). Such earnings are included in equity earnings in unconsolidated ventures.

At December 31, 2002, Insignia held investments totaling $16.1 million in IOT, IOP and IOP II and had commitments to invest an additional $2.1 million in IOP II. The following table summarizes financial information of IOT and IOP II as of December 31, 2002 (in thousands):


Total assets	$	150,139
Total liabilities		36,358
Total revenues		25,992

Apart from its real estate investments, Insignia had obligations totaling $14.0 million to all real estate entities at December 31, 2002, which consisted of the following (in thousands):


Letters of credit partially backing construction loans	$	8,900
Other partial guarantees of property debt		2,825
Future capital contributions for capital improvements		150
Future capital contributions for asset purchases		2,105

Total Obligations	$	13,980

Outstanding letters of credit generally have one-year terms to maturity and bear standard renewal provisions. Other letters of credit and guarantees of property debt do not bear formal maturity dates and remain outstanding until certain conditions (such as final sale of property and funding of capital commitments) have been satisfied. The future capital contributions represent contractual equity commitments for specified activities of the respective real estate entities. Insignia, as a matter of policy, would consider advancing funds to real estate entities beyond its legal obligation as a new capital contribution subject to normal investment returns.

million in newly issued shares of Series B convertible preferred stock and a commitment to provide $37.5 million of subordinated debt. The preferred stock carries an 8.5% annual dividend, payable quarterly at Insignia’s option in cash or in kind, and is convertible into Insignia common stock at a price of $15.40 per share, subject to adjustment. The preferred stock has a perpetual term, although Insignia may call the preferred stock, at stated value, after June 7, 2005. In February 2000, Blackacre purchased $25.0 million of convertible preferred stock, which has now been exchanged for a Series A convertible preferred stock with an 8.5% annual dividend and a conversion price of $14.00 per share.

The Blackacre credit facility, which is subordinate to Insignia’s senior credit facility, bears interest at an annual rate of 11.25% to 12.25%, payable quarterly, depending on the amount borrowed. In July 2002, Insignia borrowed $15.0 million under the credit facility. The proceeds were used to finance the purchase of the development property and related leasehold rights in St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands (discussed under “Real Estate Principal Investment Activities” above). Insignia may draw down the remaining $22.5 million of availability at any time until December 2003. Any further borrowings will bear interest at 12.25%. The subordinated debt has a final maturity of June 2009.

At December 31, 2002, notes payable consisted of the following (in thousands):


Senior revolving credit facility with interest due quarterly at LIBOR plus 2.0 to 2.5% (totaling approximately 4.3%). Final payment due date is May 8, 2004	$	95,000
Senior subordinated credit facility with interest due quarterly at 11.25% and a final maturity of June 2009		15,000
Acquisition loan notes with an interest rate of approximately 3.0% and a final maturity of April 2010		16,889

	$	126,889

The Company’s debt includes outstanding borrowings under its $230.0 million senior revolving credit facility and a $37.5 million subordinated credit facility entered into in June 2002 with Blackacre. The margin above LIBOR on the senior facility was 2.50% at December 31, 2002. The Company also had outstanding letters of credit of $11.0 million at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2002 the unused commitment on the senior revolving credit facility was approximately $124.0 million.

The $37.5 million Blackacre credit facility is subordinate to Insignia’s senior credit facility and bears interest, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of 11.25% to 12.25%, depending on the amount borrowed. At December 31, 2002, the Company had borrowings of $15.0 million outstanding on the subordinated credit facility at an interest rate of 11.25%. Any further borrowings bear interest at 12.25%.

The senior credit facility provides for foreign denominated borrowings up to an aggregate $75 million. No foreign denominated borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 2002. The senior facility is collateralized by a pledge of the stock of domestic subsidiaries and material foreign subsidiaries.

The Company also maintains a £5 million line of credit in the UK for short term working capital purposes in Europe. The Company has not borrowed on this line of credit during the past two years.

The U.K. acquisition loan notes outstanding at December 31, 2002 are guaranteed by a bank, as required by the terms of the respective purchase agreements. The bank holds restricted cash deposits sufficient to repay the notes in full when due. These loan notes are redeemable semi-annually at the discretion of the note holder.

In March 2003, the Company repaid $67.0 million on the senior credit facility as a result of the sale of its residential businesses Insignia Douglas Elliman and Insignia Residential Group. In conjunction with the pay-down, the commitment under the senior credit facility was reduced from $230.0 million to $165.0 million.

The Company’s credit agreements and other debt agreements contain various restrictive covenants requiring, among other things, minimum consolidated net worth and certain other financial ratios. The Company’s revolving credit facility restricts the payment of cash dividends to an amount not to exceed twenty-five percent of net income for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. At December 31, 2002, Insignia had approximately $80.0 million of availability on its credit facilities under these covenants. At December 31, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Real Estate Mortgage Notes

At December 31, 2002, real estate mortgage notes represented non-recourse loans collateralized by real estate properties and consisted of the following (in thousands):


Brookhaven Village, mortgage loan bearing interest at 6.24% with a final maturity in December 2004	$	8,305
U.S. Virgin Islands development loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 5.0% with a floor of 8.0% (8% at December 31, 2002). The note matures in August 2005		20,000
West Village, FHA loan bearing interest at 7.25%. The loan matures in October 2013		7,064
West Village, HPD note bearing interest at 8.5% and maturing in October 2023 (loan amount plus unpaid accrued interest)		29,897
West Village, non-interest bearing residual receipt note maturing in October 2023		1,529

	$	66,795

The mortgage note encumbering Brookhaven Village includes a participation feature whereby the lender is entitled to 35% of the net cash flow, net refinancing proceeds or net sales proceeds after the Company has achieved a 10% annual return on equity. The projected participation liability to the lender equaled approximately $715,000 at December 31, 2002. This amount is substantially contingent upon a sale of the asset. The U.S. Virgin Island development loan includes a one time deferred financing fee of 4.35% to 17% of the loan proceeds, depending of the length of financing. This deferred financing fee is payable at loan maturity or the early repayment of the loan.

14. Stock Compensation Plans

The Company’s 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “1998 Plan”), authorized the grant of options and restricted stock awards to management personnel totaling up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The term of each option is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors but will in no event exceed ten years from the date of grant. Options granted typically have five-year terms and are granted at prices not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The 1998 Plan may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. In September 1998, the Company was spun-off from its former parent, a company also named Insignia Financial Group, Inc. At the spin-off date, the Company assumed, under the 1998 Plan, approximately 1,787,000 options issued by the former parent to employees of the businesses included in the spin-off. At December 31, 2002, 1,926,583 options were outstanding under the 1998 Plan.

At December 31, 2002, approximately 96,000 unvested restricted stock awards to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 1998 Plan. These awards, which have a five-year vesting period, were granted to executive officers and other employees of the Company. Compensation expense recognized by the Company for these awards totaled approximately $706,000 and $627,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

During 2002, the Company granted 150,000 nonqualified options to the president of Insignia Douglas Elliman, pursuant to his employment agreement. These options were issued outside of the 1998 Plan and have a five-year vesting period.

The Company assumed 1,289,329 options under Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements in connection with the acquisition of REGL. The options had five-year terms at the date of grant and the terms remained unchanged at the date of assumption. At December 31, 2002, 654,806 options remained outstanding.

The Company assumed approximately 612,000 options under Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements in connection with the acquisition of St. Quintin. The options had five-year terms at the date of grant and the terms remained unchanged at the date of assumption. At December 31, 2002, 266,484 options remained outstanding.

The Company assumed 110,000 options under a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan in connection with a prior acquisition. At December 31, 2002, 65,000 options remained outstanding under the plan. The options had five and one half-year terms at the date of grant and the terms remained unchanged at the date of assumption.

The terms of all options assumed in connection with acquisitions remained subject to continued vesting over their original terms. These options have been accounted for as additional purchase consideration for each respective business combination.

During 2000, Insignia granted 1,493,000 warrants to purchase Insignia common stock to certain key executives, non-employee directors and other employees under Warrant Agreements. Such warrants had five-year terms at the date of grant. At December 31, 2002, 1,432,500 warrants remained outstanding.

Pursuant to the Company’s Supplemental Stock Purchase and Loan Program, Insignia has loans outstanding to seven employees, including three executive officers, of the Company. These loans were originally made in 1998 and 1999 for the purchase of 158,663 newly issued shares of Insignia’s common stock at an average share price of approximately $12.18. The loans require principal and interest payments, at a fixed rate of 7.5%, in 40 equal quarterly installments ending December 31, 2009. The notes are secured by the common shares and are non-recourse to the employee except to the extent of 25% of the outstanding amount. The outstanding principal balances of these notes totaled $1,193,000 at December 31, 2002. The notes receivable are classified as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Plan”) was adopted to provide employees with an opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The Employee Plan was developed to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

In connection with the Company’s spin-off in September 1998, 1,196,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (at $14.50 per share) were issued to holders of the Convertible Preferred Securities of the Company’s former parent. The term of each warrant is five years. The Company’s former parent purchased the warrants from Insignia in 1998 for approximately $8.5 million. At December 31, 2002, all warrants remained outstanding and were fully exercisable.

The Company’s common stock reserved for future issuance in connection with stock compensation plans totaled 5,751,373 shares at December 31, 2002.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

Total deferred tax assets		53,185
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets		(5,576	)

Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance		47,609

Net deferred tax assets	$	31,814

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to realize fully the deferred assets, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $58.1 million, principally for U.S. purposes.

The Company has generated losses and has created other net deferred assets in prior years. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future income during the carryforward period are reduced. Net operating losses in the U.S. were carried forward from 2001 for federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 2002, approximately $12.6 million and $41.1 million of net operating losses will carry forward to 2003 for federal, state and local income tax purposes respectively. These amounts expire between 2015 and 2022.

In 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Realty One and its affiliated companies. In connection with the Realty One sale, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss of approximately $21.6 million. Under the tax law existing at December 31, 2001, approximately $12.5 million of the loss could not be deducted for income tax purposes and no income tax benefit has been provided on this portion of the loss in 2001. Subsequent to 2001, the U.S. Treasury Department issued new legislative regulations that allowed for the deduction of the loss for income tax purposes. Sufficient capital gains were generated to offset the loss.

Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign operations amounted to approximately $39.0 million in aggregate as of December 31, 2002. Deferred income taxes are not provided at U.S. tax rates on these earnings as it is intended that the earnings will be permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Any such taxes should not be significant, since U.S. tax rates are no more than 5% in excess of U.K. and French tax rates and goodwill, with respect to the U.K. and French operations, are amortizable for U.S. tax purposes.

During 2002, certain of the Company’s foreign operations generated operating losses in aggregate of approximately $8.1 million. All potential tax benefits pertaining to such losses have been fully reserved due to absence of profits.

In 2000, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an examination of the income tax returns for the 1998 (January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998), 1997 and 1996 tax years. In November 2001, the IRS made a final determination to which the Company agreed. The agreed assessment paid by the Company was approximately $1.1 million, including taxes and interest. The examination will have final resolution when the U. S. Treasury Department issues a determination letter resulting from the review by the Joint Committee on Taxation. The statute of limitations expired on March 31, 2003 and the Company does not anticipate any additional assessments.

16. Employee

Benefit Plans

401(k) Retirement Plan

The Company established a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. The Company may make a contribution equal to 25% of the employees’ contribution up to a maximum of 6% of the employees’ compensation and participants fully vest in employer contributions after 5 years. All contributions to the 401(k) plan are expensed currently in earnings. The Company expensed approximately $1,026,000 and $1,201,000 in contributions to the 401(k) plan during 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Defined Contribution Plan

Insignia Richard Ellis maintains a defined contribution plan that is available to all of its employees at their option after the completion of six months of service and the attainment of 25 years of age. Insignia Richard Ellis contributions are 3.5% of salary for ages 25 to 30, 4.5% of salary for ages 31 to 35 and 5.5% to 7% of salary for ages 36 and over. Insignia Richard Ellis expensed approximately $1,598,000 and $1,430,000 in contributions to the plan during 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Defined Benefit Plans

Insignia Richard Ellis maintains two defined benefit plans for certain of its employees. The plans provide for benefits based upon the final salary of participating employees.

Party Transactions

In May 2002, Insignia made a loan in the amount of $270,000 to an Executive Vice President of the Company. The variable interest rate on the loan is the same as the average cost of funds borrowed by Insignia, which was approximately 5.25% at December 31, 2002. Interest on the loan is payable to Insignia in cash on June 30 and December 31 of each year; provided, however, that until December 31, 2004 all interest accrued and payable may, at the discretion of the executive (but subject to Insignia’s right of offset as more fully described below), be added to the outstanding principal balance of the loan instead of paid in cash. The loan is repayable on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2005 or (ii) 30 days following a termination of the executive’s employment with Insignia for any reason. Pursuant to its rights under the note, beginning on August 1, 2002, Insignia began withholding 50% of any distribution payable to the executive, in respect of the executive’s equity interest in the Company’s profits interest in IOP, to be applied as a payment of accrued interest first and then outstanding principal. The outstanding balance on the loan was $269,083 at December 31, 2002.

In March 2002, Insignia made a loan in the amount of $1.5 million to its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The variable interest rate on the loan is the same as the average cost of funds borrowed by Insignia, which was approximately 5.25% at December 31, 2002. The loan is payable on or before March 5, 2005. The Company deducts quarterly interest payments due on the loan from certain bonuses payable to the Chairman. To the extent such bonuses are not paid, all accrued and unpaid interest is payable at maturity. The loan and any accrued interest thereon would be forgiven in limited circumstances, such as a significant transaction or change of control. The outstanding balance on the loan at December 31, 2002 was $1.5 million.

In June 2001, Insignia made a loan in the amount of $1.5 million to its President. The variable interest rate on the loan is the same as the average cost of funds borrowed by Insignia, which was approximately 5.25% at December 31, 2002. The loan becomes due upon the earliest of (i) voluntary termination of the President’s employment with Insignia, (ii) the termination of the President’s employment with Insignia for cause or (iii) March 15, 2006. Insignia will forgive $375,000 of the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest thereon on March 15 of the year following each of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 to the extent that actual Net EBITDA equals or exceeds 75% of annual budgeted Net EBITDA for any such year, as approved by the Board of Directors. In addition, if aggregate actual Net EBITDA for fiscal 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 equals or exceeds aggregate annual budgeted EBITDA for such years, any outstanding principal amount of the loan and accrued interest thereon, will be forgiven as of March 15, 2006. The outstanding balance on the loan at December 31, 2002 was $1.5 million.

Pursuant to the Company’s Supplemental Stock Purchase and Loan Program, Insignia has loans outstanding to seven employees, including three executive officers, of the Company. These loans were originally made in 1998 and 1999 for the purchase of 158,663 newly issued shares of Insignia’s common stock at an average share price of approximately $12.18. The loans require principal and interest payments, at a fixed rate of 7.5%, in 40 equal quarterly installments ending December 31, 2009. The notes are secured by the common shares and are non-recourse to the employee except to the extent of 25% of the outstanding amount. At December 31, 2002, the loans outstanding totaled $1,193,000 and are presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

A director of Insignia is a partner in a law firm that represents Insignia or certain of its affiliates from time to time. The amount of fees paid by the Company to the firm during 2002 and 2001 totaled $1,363,000 and $59,000, respectively.

All contingencies including unasserted claims or assessments, which are probable and for which the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, are accrued in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.

Indemnification

In 1998, the Company’s former parent entered into a Merger Agreement with Apartment Investment and Management Company (“AIMCO”), and one of AIMCO’s subsidiaries, pursuant to which the former parent was merged into AIMCO. Shortly before the merger, the former parent distributed the stock of Insignia to its shareholders in a spin-off transaction. As a requirement of the Merger Agreement, Insignia entered into an Indemnification Agreement with AIMCO. In the Indemnification Agreement, Insignia agreed generally to indemnify AIMCO against all losses exceeding $9.1 million that result from: (i) breaches by the Company or former parent of representations, warranties or covenants in the Merger Agreement; (ii) actions taken by or on behalf of former parent prior to the merger; and (iii) the spin-off.

In December 2001, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Real Living, Inc., the purchaser, that provided for the sale of 100% of the stock of Realty One and its affiliated companies. Such affiliated companies included First Ohio Mortgage Corporation, Inc., First Ohio Escrow Corporation, Inc. and Insignia Relocation Management, Inc. As a part of the sale, the Company agreed generally to indemnify the purchaser against all losses up to the purchase price (subject to certain deductible amounts), resulting from the following: (i) breaches by the Company of any representations, warranties or covenants in the stock purchase agreement; (ii) pre-disposition obligations for goods, services, taxes or indebtedness except for those assumed by Real Living, Inc.; (iii) change of control payments made to employees of Realty One; and (iv) any third party losses arising or related to the period prior to the disposition. In addition, the Company provided an indemnification for losses incurred by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”) and/or the purchaser in respect of (i) mortgage loan files existing on the date of closing; (ii) fraud in the conduct of its home mortgage business; and (iii) the failure to follow standard industry practices in the home mortgage business. The aggregate loss for which the Company is potentially liable to Wells Fargo is limited to $10 million and the aggregate of any claims made by the purchaser and Wells Fargo shall not exceed the purchase price.

In March 2003, Insignia completed the sale of its New York-based residential real estate service businesses, Insignia Douglas Elliman and Insignia Residential Group, to Montauk Battery Realty, LLC. In connection with the sale, Insignia agreed generally to indemnify the purchaser for the amount of any loss, liability, claim, damage, cost or expense up to the aggregate purchase price (subject to certain deductible amounts) arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with the following: (i) breaches by the Company of any representations, warranties, covenants or obligations in the purchase and sale agreement; (ii) claims pending or threatened on the date of sale; (iii) any conduct, action or inaction or circumstances related to the operation, management or ownership of the businesses arising or related to the period prior to the sale; and (iv) any liabilities or obligations arising or related to the period prior to the sale.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company was not aware of any matters that would give rise to a material claim under any indemnities and warranties.

Environmental

Under various federal and state environmental laws and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and remediate certain hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum-product releases at the property, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such parties in connection with contamination. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. The owner or operator of a site may be liable under common law to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from or at the site, including the presence of asbestos containing materials. Insurance for such matters may not be available.

The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. There can be no assurance that Insignia, or any assets owned or controlled by Insignia (as on-site property manager), currently are in compliance with all of such laws and regulations or that Insignia will not become subject to liabilities that arise in whole or in part out of any such laws, rules or regulations. The liability may be imposed even if the original actions were legal and Insignia did not know of, or was not responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Insignia may also be solely responsible for the entire payment of any liability if it is subject to joint and several liability with other responsible parties who are unable to pay. Insignia may be subject to additional liability if it fails to disclose environmental issues to a buyer or lessee of property. Management is not currently aware of any environmental liabilities that are expected to have a material adverse effect upon the operations or financial condition of the Company.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space and equipment under noncancelable operating leases. Minimum annual rentals under operating leases for the five years ending after December 31, 2002 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):


2003	$	27,276
2004		25,878
2005		24,105
2006		22,306
2007		20,829
Thereafter		64,638

Total minimum payments	$	185,032

Rental expense, which is recorded on a straight-line basis, was approximately $29,705,000 (2002) and $24,496,000 (2001). Certain of the leases are subject to renewal options and annual escalation based on the Consumer Price Index or annual increases in operating expenses.

Convertible Preferred Stock

Insignia has 375,000 shares, or $37.5 million, of convertible preferred stock outstanding to investment funds affiliated with Blackacre Capital Management. The convertible preferred stock includes 250,000 shares, or $25.0 million, of Series A, initially purchased in February 2000, and 125,000 shares, or $12.5 million, of Series B purchased in June 2002. The initial preferred originally carried a 4% annual dividend and was exchanged in June 2002 for Series A convertible preferred stock. The convertible preferred stock carries an 8.5% annual dividend (totaling approximately $3.2 million), payable quarterly at Insignia’s option in cash or in kind. The Company paid cash dividends of approximately $1.8 million in 2002.

INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

The convertible preferred stock has a perpetual term, although Insignia may call the preferred stock, at stated value, after June 7, 2005. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive the stated value of $100.00 per share (totaling $37.5 million) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

Stock Repurchase

At December 31, 2002, Insignia held in treasury 1,502,600 repurchased shares of its Common Stock. Such shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of approximately $16.2 million and are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of warrants granted in 2001 to certain executive officers, non-employee directors and other employees of the Company.

In July 2002, the Company authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $5.0 million, subject to compliance with all covenants contained within the Company’s existing debt agreements. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had not initiated any stock repurchases under this authorization.

19. Industry

Segments

As of December 31 2002, Insignia’s operating activities encompassed two segments that include (i) commercial real estate services, including principal investment activities, and (ii) residential real estate services. The Company’s New York-based residential real estate service businesses were sold in March 2003; therefore, operating activities from continuing operations exclude the operations of these businesses. Residential operations are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In 2001, the Company’s operating activities included internet-based initiatives as a segment. The Company’s segments include businesses that offer similar products and services and are managed separately because of the distinction between such services. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

The commercial segment provides services including tenant representation, property and asset management, agency leasing and brokerage, investment sales, development and re-development, consulting and other services. The commercial segment also includes the Company’s principal real estate investment activities and fund management. Insignia’s commercial segment is comprised of the operations of Insignia/ESG in the U.S., Insignia Richard Ellis in the U.K., Insignia Bourdais in France and other businesses in continental Europe, Asia and Latin America. The Company’s unallocated administrative expenses and corporate assets, consisting primarily of cash and property and equipment, are included in “Other” in the segment reporting. The Company’s internet-based initiatives launched in 1999 were terminated in 2001.

20. Fair

Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value estimates of financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company might pay or receive in actual market transactions. The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value. Receivables reported on the balance sheet generally consist of property and lease commission receivables and various note receivables. The property and note receivables approximate their fair values. Lease commission receivables are carried at their discounted present value; therefore the carrying amount and fair value amount are the same. The carrying amounts for notes payable and real estate mortgage notes payable approximate their respective fair value because the interest rates generally approximate current market interest rates for similar instruments.

In addition, the fourth quarter included impairment write-downs of $4.6 million in remaining internet investments and income of $3.2 million in connection with the liquidation of EdificeRex.

22. Subsequent Events

CB Richard Ellis Merger

On February 17, 2003, Insignia entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. (“CB”) and Apple Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of CB, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Apple Acquisition Corp. will be merged with and into Insignia (the “Merger”), with Insignia being the surviving corporation in the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of CB. The Merger Agreement provides that Insignia’s Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Apple Acquisition Corp. will be the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, respectively, of the surviving corporation. Under the Merger Agreement, at closing each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Insignia (the “Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive $11.00 per share in cash (the “Common Merger Consideration”), subject to adjustment based on the potential sale of certain real estate assets (excluding assets of the service businesses) prior to the closing of the Merger. The Merger Agreement provides that if Insignia receives more than a specified amount of cash net proceeds for these assets, the excess net cash proceeds will be paid to holders of Common Stock, options, warrants and unvested restricted stock as additional Common Merger Consideration, up to an additional $1.00 per share of Common Stock. The Merger closed on July 23, 2003 and Insignia’s common shareholders received cash consideration of $11.156 per share.

obligations to certain executive officers, including the Company’s Chairman, who are also officers of Island Fund. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $12.8 million (before applicable income taxes) in connection with the sale.

When Insignia entered into the Merger Agreement it considered whether the right to sell certain of its real estate investment assets had any effect on the evaluation of such investments for purposes of determining impairment and discontinuance for financial reporting purposes. Insignia concluded that the investment assets did not qualify for classification as assets held for sale based on the following factors: (i) management had not committed to a formal plan to sell the asset (or disposal group); (ii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sell the assets had not been initiated; (ii) the sale of any investment assets below book value was not considered probable; and (iv) the Company would not sell assets below book value unless the merger closed and such sales produced additional incremental share consideration above $11.00 per share.
