TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

1.   General

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Trammell Crow Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and do not include all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience quarterly variations in revenues and net income as a result of several factors. The Company’s quarterly revenues tend to increase throughout the year, particularly in the last quarter of the year, because its clients have demonstrated a tendency to close transactions toward the end of the year. The timing and introduction of new contracts, the disposition of investments in real estate assets, the recognition of incentive fees (often in the latter part of the fiscal year as contractual targets are met) and other factors may also cause quarterly fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations.

Reclassifications

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”), certain assets and liabilities at December 31, 2005, and certain revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, were reclassified to conform to the presentation at and for the three months ended June 30, 2006 (see Notes 8 and 11). As a result, certain balances differ from the amounts reported in previously filed documents. Also, certain distributions from unconsolidated subsidiaries in the six months ended June 30, 2005 were reclassified in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Therefore, cash flows from operating activities and investing activities differ from previously filed documents. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or earnings per share amounts.

Use of Estimates

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

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting

purposes and the amounts used for federal and state income tax purposes, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse.

Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Limited Life Subsidiaries

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“FAS 150”). Certain provisions of FAS 150 would have required the Company to classify non-controlling interests in consolidated limited life subsidiaries as liabilities adjusted to their settlement values in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred application of the measurement and recognition provisions (but not the disclosure requirements) of FAS 150 with respect to these non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2006, the estimated settlement value of non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated limited life subsidiaries was $4,520, as compared to book value (included in minority interest on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet) of $4,728.

Effect of Adopting New Accounting Pronouncements

Consolidation

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”), which states that the general partner in a limited partnership is presumed to control that limited partnership. That presumption may be overcome if the limited partners have either (1) the substantive ability-either by a single limited partner or

through a simple majority vote-to dissolve (liquidate) the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause or (2) substantive participating rights. Substantive participating rights provide the limited partners with the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of the limited partnership’s business and thereby preclude the general partner from exercising unilateral control over the partnership.

The effective date for applying the guidance in EITF 04-5 to the Company’s general partner interests was June 29, 2005, for all new limited partnerships or limited partnerships amended after that date, and January 1, 2006, for all other limited partnerships. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed its evaluation of the impact of EITF 04-5 for all of its general partner interests existing prior to June 29, 2005. As a result of this evaluation, the Company consolidated two real estate partnerships that had previously been accounted for using the equity method. These consolidations as of January 1, 2006 did not impact net income, net income per share or stockholders’ equity, but did result in the following non-cash changes to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:

Stock-Based Compensation

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”), which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“FAS 123”). Generally, the approach in FAS 123R is similar to the approach described in FAS 123. However, FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

Prior to adoption of FAS 123R, the Company elected to use the intrinsic method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), to account for its stock-based compensation arrangements (see Note 9 for further discussion on the Company’s stock-based compensation plans). Compensation expense for stock options was recognized to the extent the market

price of the underlying stock on the date of grant exceeded the exercise price of the option. The Company recognized compensation expense related to restricted stock grants over the vesting period of the underlying grant in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. No compensation expense was recognized related to the difference between the employee’s cost and the market value of stock purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.

The Company adopted FAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective transition method, and results for prior periods were not adjusted. Under this method, the Company recognizes compensation cost for both unvested stock-based awards outstanding at January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value determined in accordance with FAS 123) and stock-based awards made subsequent to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value determined in accordance with FAS 123R). For awards with pro rata vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense using the accelerated expense attribution method described in FASB Interpretation No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans.

FAS 123R also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures of stock-based awards upon grant and to reevaluate this estimate during the requisite service period. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company’s policy had been to reverse expense related to forfeitures of restricted stock as they occurred. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $1,657, less income taxes of $646, which represented a reversal of expense taken for those shares of unvested restricted stock granted prior to adoption that the Company estimates will be forfeited before vesting. All other impacts of adopting FAS 123R to the Company’s consolidated statement of income and net income per share were not material.

FAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as previously required. This requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows. The amount of financing cash flows recognized for such excess tax deductions related to the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock was $1,728 and $812 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company typically issues shares related to stock-based compensation plans from its treasury. In February 2006, the Company received authorization from its Board of Directors to repurchase up to $50,000 of its common stock from time to time in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. In June 2006, the Company completed its $50,000 share repurchase program. A total of 1,487,500 shares were repurchased at an average price of $33.61 per share.

Income Taxes

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FAS 109”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 creates a two-step process in evaluating a tax position. The first step, recognition, requires the Company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step, measurement, states that a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold should be measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with the tax position measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

1.   General (Continued)

Upon initial adoption, all tax positions should be reviewed and only positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets). The amount of the cumulative adjustment is the difference between the net assets and liabilities recognized prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the net assets and liabilities recognized as a result of applying FIN 48. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

2.   Variable Interest Entities

In June 2006, the Company was involved in the formation of a limited partnership established to acquire land and develop residential and retail projects. The limited partnership, through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired land and executed a loan to finance the entire project. No equity was contributed by the owners of the entity. The entity’s note payable balance of $38,305 is non-recourse to the Company and is collateralized by the underlying real estate. The Company and other partners of the limited partnership may be required to make equity contributions to the entity to fund certain cost overruns and upgrades to project plans from the original project budget agreed to by the partners. Based upon the Company’s evaluation, this entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”). However, based upon its evaluation, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the entity. As of June 30, 2006, the Company cannot estimate its maximum exposure to loss, but believes that its exposure under this arrangement to loss is not material.

The Company was involved in the formation of a legal entity to act primarily as an agent of the Company to enter into policies with insurance carriers. The policies are for various types of insurance, including general liability, workers’ compensation and automotive. The entity is wholly-owned by an employee of the Company who holds the appropriate local insurance agent’s license required to issue these insurance policies on behalf of the insurance carriers. The entity collects premiums and remits them to the insurance carriers. In exchange, the entity receives commissions from the insurance carriers and remits a portion of the commission revenue to the Company (determined at the Company’s full discretion) in accordance with a facilities and services agreement. Based upon its evaluation, the Company consolidates this entity as the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $3,045 recorded in restricted cash and $316 recorded in marketable securities (non-current) that are held by the VIE and serve as collateral for the VIE’s obligations to the insurance carriers.

In 2005, the Company restructured a consolidated entity established to develop an office building by admitting a majority interest partner. Based upon its evaluation at this reconsideration event, the Company consolidated this entity as the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The entity’s note payable balance of $33,845 at June 30, 2006, is non-recourse to the Company and is collateralized by the underlying real estate project.

2.   Variable Interest Entities (Continued)

In 2005, the Company acquired $110,000 of tax credits through a program enacted by the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000. This program creates tax credits for equity investments in Community Development Entities (“CDEs”). The CDEs make qualified loans or equity investments to Qualified Active Low-Income Community Businesses. Also in 2005, the Company obtained 0% to 0.01% managing interests in various CDEs established to make these loans and investments. The CDEs’ equity used to fund the loans and investments was contributed by its 99.98% to 100% third-party investor members or through loans from qualified lenders. Through June 30, 2006, the CDEs have made qualified loans totaling approximately $75,870 and qualified equity investments of $4,951. The Company has determined that each of these CDEs is a VIE. However, based upon its evaluation, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the entities. The Company believes that its maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is not material. Additionally, in 2005, the Company obtained a 49% membership interest in a related entity that acts as the administrative member performing loan servicing and tax matters for the CDEs. Based upon the Company’s evaluation, this entity is also a VIE since the entity’s equity was funded from up-front fees received from the CDEs. However, based upon its evaluation, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the entity. The Company believes that its maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is not material.

In 2004, the Company issued a budget guaranty relating to a development project. Under the budget guaranty, the Company is responsible for all costs in excess of an approved budget of approximately $35,500. The Company was involved in the design of the underlying entity and has determined that its budget guaranty represents a variable interest in a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company cannot estimate its actual maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE because the budget guaranty is unlimited. However, based on the Company’s experience of minimal payments under similar arrangements and the existence of a guaranteed maximum price contract between the general contractor and the owner of the project that mitigates the Company’s risk, the Company believes that its exposure to loss is not material.

The Company is part of a co-lender group with an independent third party that issued a mezzanine loan to the owner of two office buildings. In 2000, the Company provided $567 of the total $5,667 mezzanine loan. At that time, another independent third-party lender provided the senior financing of $19,100 to the owner. The Company also provides building management and leasing services for the buildings under a long-term contract at market rates for such services. The mezzanine loan arrangement is considered to be a variable interest in the entity that owns the property, which the Company believes is a VIE. However, based upon the Company’s evaluation, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the entity, and, therefore, the Company has not consolidated the VIE. The VIE sold one of its buildings in 2004 and paid a portion of the Company’s note receivable at that time. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is limited to its outstanding note balance of $430 as of June 30, 2006.

The Company records lease intangibles and tenant origination costs upon acquiring buildings with in-place leases. The balances are shown net of amortization (recorded as an increase to or a reduction of rental income for lease intangibles and as amortization expense for tenant origination costs).

In 2003, the Company sold a parcel of land for $1,750 of which $1,125 of the consideration received was in the form of an interest-bearing note from the buyer. The Company retained a unilateral right to repurchase the property at any time through 2006, in addition to maintaining the right to approve any plans for development on the property. If the Company exercises its repurchase option, the Company would repay the amount it received from the buyer, plus a return on the buyer’s investment. Because of the Company’s continuing involvement in and option to repurchase the property, the transaction was recorded as a financing transaction rather than a sale. As of June 30, 2006, real estate under development (non-current) included $1,887 and current portion of notes payable on real estate included $1,750 related to this parcel of land.

3.   Real Estate (Continued)

In the second quarter of 2006, the Company consolidated an operating real estate project that had previously been accounted for under the equity method. The Company is the general partner of the partnership. The Company reassessed the accounting treatment of the entity as required under EITF 04-5 and determined that the limited partners lacked the substantive participating rights necessary to overcome the presumption of control by the general partner. As a result of this consolidation, the Company recorded the following non-cash changes in its consolidated balance sheet:

In April 2005, the Company exercised its option to acquire additional shares of Savills plc (“Savills”), a property services firm headquartered in the United Kingdom and a leading provider of real estate services in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Australia. The exercise of the option resulted in the issuance of 10,486,458 shares by Savills at a price of 350.64 pence per share, for a total cost of £36,770 ($70,392). The exercise price represented a 20% premium to the average mid-market closing price of the shares in trading on the London Stock Exchange for the five trading days preceding the exercise of the option. Preceding its exercise of the option, also in April 2005, the Company acquired 3,355,940 of Savills’ Ordinary Shares in open market purchases at an average price of 325.00 pence per share, having the effect of reducing the

number of shares purchasable under the option. The option exercise and the market purchase together increased the Company’s ownership stake to approximately 19.6% of Savills’ Ordinary Shares then outstanding. The aggregate cost of the market purchases and the shares issued upon exercise of the option was $91,272. The purchases were funded by borrowings under the Company’s line of credit. The investment is classified as an “other” investment in the table above. The number of shares and per share prices related to Savills have been adjusted for Savills’ two-for-one stock split in May 2006.

Of the total Savills’ purchase price, approximately $3,251 has been allocated to the value of customer relationships, property and facilities management contracts and backlog. These allocated amounts are being amortized over periods up to ten years from the date the Company purchased the shares. The estimated difference between the carrying value of the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net assets of $67,371 will be evaluated for impairment as part of the investment as a whole when evidence of a loss in value occurs.

The summarized financial information below does not include the results of Savills because Savills qualifies as a foreign private issuer. Summarized operating results for other unconsolidated subsidiaries accounted for on the equity method were as follows:

The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility was 7.1% and 4.9% at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The interest rate for borrowings under the Swing Line was 7.1% and 5.1% at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company is subject to various covenants associated with the Credit Facility, such as maintenance of minimum net worth and liquidity and certain key financial data. There are also certain restrictions on investments and acquisitions that can be made by the Company. In addition, the Company may not pay dividends or make other distributions on account of its common stock exceeding 50% of the previous year’s net income before depreciation and amortization. In February 2006, the Company amended its Credit Facility to allow for additional repurchases or other distributions on account of its common stock in an amount up to $100,000 through December 31, 2006 and to reduce the minimum required net worth covenant. At June 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility.

The covenants associated with the Credit Facility and the amount of the Company’s other borrowings and contingent liabilities may have the effect of limiting the credit available to the Company under the Credit Facility to an amount less than the $175,000 commitment. At June 30, 2006, the Company had unused borrowing capacity of $81,467 (taking into account borrowings and letters of credit outstanding) under its Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Swing Line are unsecured and reduce borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.

At June 30, 2006, $15,568 of the current portion and $4,931 of the non-current portion of notes payable on real estate are recourse to the Company (beyond being recourse to the single-purpose entity that held the real estate asset and was the obligor on the note payable). With respect to a project to which $3,322 of the current recourse obligations related, the Company has an agreement to sell the project upon completion, the proceeds of which will be used to repay the related note payable.

The Company has a participating mortgage loan obligation related to a real estate project classified as real estate under development. The participating mortgage loan is subordinate to a construction loan on the underlying project. The mortgage lender participates in net operating cash flow of the mortgaged real estate project, if any, and capital proceeds, net of related expenses, upon the sale of the project, after payment of amounts due under the construction loan. The lender receives 6% fixed interest on the outstanding balance of its note, compounded monthly, and participates in 35% to 80% of proceeds remaining after the construction loan is paid, based on reaching various internal rates of return. The amount of the participating liability was $14,475 and $12,809, at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The related debt discount was fully amortized at June 30, 2006 and $1,835 at December 31, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company amortized $3,501 and $2,742, respectively, of the debt discount, which has been capitalized to real estate under development.

8.   Real Estate and Other Assets Held for Sale and Related Liabilities

Real estate and other assets held for sale include completed real estate projects or land for sale in their present condition that have met all of the “held for sale” criteria of FAS 144 and other assets directly related to such projects. Liabilities related to real estate and other assets held for sale have been included as a single line item in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with FAS 144, balances related to assets classified as held for sale at June 30, 2006, or sold in the six months ended June 30, 2006, that were not classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005, were reclassified to real estate and other assets held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005.

9.   Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two share-based compensation plans and an employee stock purchase plan, which are described below. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $4,355 and $3,172, with a related income tax benefit realized of $1,711 and $1,246, respectively. The Company typically issues shares related to stock-based compensation plans from its treasury.

Under the Trammell Crow Company 1997 Option Plan (the “Assumed Option Plan”), the Company issued options to purchase 2,423,769 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.85 per share. All options available under the Assumed Option Plan were granted on August 1, 1997. The options vested at the closing of the Company’s initial public offering on December 1, 1997, and became exercisable 30 days after that date. The options expire 10 years from the date of grant and are not contingent on continued employment with the Company. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At June 30, 2006, common shares reserved for future issuance under the Assumed Option Plan totaled 239,217.

The Trammell Crow Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Long-Term Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 8,634,878 shares of common stock. Options to acquire shares of common stock granted by the Company under the Long-Term Plan have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and expire seven to ten years from the date of grant.

Except for options granted to members of the Board of Directors and options granted in connection with acquisitions of real estate service companies, options vest over periods ranging from three to five years, and generally have partial vesting on anniversaries of the grant date. The Company has not granted any options since 2003.

9.   Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

The Long-Term Plan also provides for the awards of Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Performance Units. The Restricted Stock that has been issued under this plan vests over periods of up to five years from the date of grant. No Stock Appreciation Rights have been granted by the Company as of June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding performance units representing the right to receive, at the election of the grantee, an aggregate of up to 34,424 shares of the Company’s common stock or cash in the amount equal to the fair market value of such shares of common stock on the distribution date or dates.

At June 30, 2006, common shares reserved for future issuance under the Long-Term Plan totaled 4,063,542 shares, of which 745,328 common shares were available for future awards.

The Company has also established the Trammell Crow Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Employees may elect to have bi-weekly payroll deductions of 1% to 10% of gross earnings, which is used to purchase, on a semi-annual basis, stock of the Company at a 15% discount from market value, which is established on the date of issuance. The ESPP is available to all employees and requires a twelve-month holding period for stock purchased under the plan. The Company has reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP, of which 2,131,606 had been issued through June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, activity related to the ESPP plan was not material.

The total fair value of restricted stock that vested during the first six months of 2006 was $16,542.

10.   Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain key employees of the Company through a rabbi trust. A portion of the eligible employees’ compensation can be directed into the plan. In accordance with EITF 97-14, Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested, assets of the rabbi trust are consolidated by the Company. The Company has elected to account for the investments as trading securities, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. As a result, investments are marked to market through the statement of income, with an offsetting increase in the deferred compensation liability. No investments in the rabbi trust can consist of the Company’s stock. The investments are included in current marketable securities and a deferred compensation liability is included in other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The investment balance and the deferred compensation liability were both $600 at June 30, 2006.

11.   Gain on Disposition of Real Estate and Discontinued Operations

During the first six months of 2006, the Company sold five real estate projects (excluding those accounted for as discontinued operations) for an aggregate net sales price of $7,184, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition of $3,076. The Company also recognized $162 of deferred gain from previous period dispositions. During the first six months of 2005, the Company recognized total gain on disposition of real estate (excluding those accounted for as discontinued operations) of $2,474. This gain comprised two sales of real estate projects with an aggregate net sales price of $1,615 and a settlement related to the estimated cost to complete construction related to a previous period disposition. This gain also included deferred gain recognition of $178 related to dispositions in prior periods.

11.   Gain on Disposition of Real Estate and Discontinued Operations (Continued)

The Company’s income from discontinued operations consists of the operations and gains on disposition of real estate projects held for sale or sold subsequent to the adoption of FAS 144, effective January 1, 2002, that are considered “components of an entity” as defined by FAS 144 and for which the Company does not have or expect to have any significant involvement in the operations of the project after the disposal. As required by FAS 144, certain revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

In the first six months of 2006, the Company sold four real estate projects that were considered discontinued operations under FAS 144. The aggregate net sales price for these projects was $23,569, and the Company recognized an aggregate gain on disposition of $5,069. In the first six months of 2005, the Company sold five real estate projects that were considered a discontinued operation under FAS 144. The aggregate net sales price for these projects was $29,244, and the Company recognized an aggregate gain on disposition of $2,019. The gain on disposition related to these projects has been reported as discontinued operations, net of applicable income taxes, in the consolidated statements of income.

The components of discontinued operations were as follows:

12.   Financial Instruments

The Company’s participation in derivative transactions has been limited to risk management purposes. Derivative instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate cap agreements in order to limit its interest expense on the Credit Facility or on certain construction loans related to consolidated real estate projects. These interest rate cap agreements are not designated as effective hedges and therefore are marked to market each period with the change in fair market value recognized in current period earnings.

In the first six months of 2005, the Company had such agreements with a notional amount of $5,073 and the Company was to receive payments if the 30-day LIBOR-based floating interest rate exceeded 3.5%. These agreements expired or terminated prior to 2006. The amounts recorded in 2005 related to these agreements were not material. In addition, at June 30, 2006, the Company held two such agreements with notional amounts of $25,650 and $18,500 and under both agreements, the Company receives payments if the 30-day LIBOR-based floating interest rate exceeds 5.5%. These agreements expire on January 2, 2008 and April 1, 2009. Through June 30, 2006, amounts recorded related to these interest rate cap agreements were not material.

Accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair values. The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt and notes payable on real estate reasonably approximate their fair values based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

13.   Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has guaranteed repayment of a maximum of $7,038 of real estate notes payable of its unconsolidated subsidiaries, of which $7,002 was outstanding at June 30, 2006. These notes are secured by the underlying real estate projects and have maturity dates through December 2009.

In 2004, the Company issued a debt repayment guaranty of an unconsolidated subsidiary in conjunction with a $30,000 loan agreement. As part of this loan agreement, the Company issued a repayment guaranty of up to 50% of the loan balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In accordance with the terms of the guaranty, at such time as the principal balance has been reduced to $15,000 or less and a target loan-to-value ratio has been reached, the Company’s guaranty is reduced to 25% of the loan balance. In exchange for the guaranty, the Company receives a priority return with respect to its capital contribution based on the outstanding amount of principal on the loan. The Company estimates that its likely exposure under the guaranty is not material and has determined that the present value of the priority return is the best estimate of the fair value of the guaranty under FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Direct Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN 45”). The Company initially recorded a liability offset by an increase in its investment in unconsolidated subsidiary balance of $1,886. The underlying note was paid down to $15,000 in the second quarter of 2005, resulting in a decrease in the Company’s guaranty. As a result, the Company decreased the liability balance, with a corresponding decrease to the investment balance. The liability balance was $472 at June 30, 2006.

13.   Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

In 2004, the Company also issued a $1,000 debt repayment guaranty on a $10,185 construction loan in order to obtain a development fee contract and allow a third-party owner to obtain financing for a construction project. The guaranty expires upon project completion and achievement of a specified leasing target. The third-party owner has agreed to transfer a separate parcel of land to the Company, should the Company be required to perform under the guaranty. The loan matures in November 2009. The Company estimates that its likely exposure under the guaranty is not material and has recorded the fair value of the guaranty in an amount equivalent to the consideration received, or $102.

The Company issued several other debt repayment guarantees of unconsolidated subsidiaries that are subject to the provisions of FIN 45. The Company estimates that its likely exposure under these guarantees is not material. On this basis, the Company estimates that the fair value of these guarantees is equivalent to the amount necessary to secure the guarantees using letters of credit from a bank, and the aggregate amount is nominal.

At June 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $20,722, including $2,992, $2,266 and $12,423 of which collateralize amounts recorded in accrued expenses, other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively. The letters of credit expire at varying dates through March 2007.

In addition, at June 30, 2006, the Company had numerous completion and budget guarantees relating to development projects. These guarantees are made with third-party owners in the normal course of business. Each of these guarantees requires the Company to complete construction of the relevant project within a specified time frame and/or within a specified budget, with the Company potentially being liable for costs to complete in excess of such budget. However, the Company generally has “guaranteed maximum price” contracts with reputable general contractors with respect to projects for which the Company provides these guarantees. These contracts are intended to pass the budget risk to such contractors. Management does not expect to incur any material losses under these guarantees.

From time to time, the Company acts as a general contractor with respect to construction projects. The Company does not consider these activities to be a material part of its business. In connection with these activities, the Company seeks to subcontract construction work for certain projects to reputable subcontractors. Should construction defects arise related to the underlying projects, the Company could potentially be liable to the client for the costs to repair such defects, but the Company would generally look to the subcontractor that performed the work to remedy the defect. Management does not expect to incur material losses with respect to construction defects.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had made non-refundable earnest money deposits totaling $6,891 in conjunction with contracts to acquire approximately $196,325 of real estate from other entities.

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business, some of which involve claims for damages which are substantial in amount. The ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined. However, based on the information currently available, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any such matters to which it is currently a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

14.   Segment Information

Description of Services by Segment

The Global Services segment includes property and facilities management, brokerage and corporate advisory, and project and construction management services delivered to both user and investor clients. The Development and Investment segment includes development activities performed on behalf of investor and user clients on a fee basis, as well as development and investment activities pursuant to which the Company takes an ownership position. The Development and Investment segment results also include activities related to the Company’s operating real estate projects prior to disposition.

Measurement of Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources between its two reportable segments based on income before income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Factors Management Used to Identify the Company’s Reportable Segments

The Company’s reportable segments are defined by the nature of the service provided and activities conducted. Because development services require specialized knowledge, the Company’s organizational structure allows the group of individuals with specialized knowledge and experience in development activities to perform these services with greater focus through the Company’s Development and Investment segment. The organizational structure of the Global Services segment allows the Company to leverage resources in specific geographic areas, as non-development services provided to user and investor clients often require similar expertise.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, approximately 95% and 96%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were from clients located in the United States. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, one individual client accounted for $27,559 (11%) and $54,306 (12%), respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the same client accounted for $26,802 (13%) and $50,750 (13%), respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues. Revenues from this client are included primarily in the Company’s Global Services segment.

ITEM 2.                Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Overview

Trammell Crow Company (the “Company”) is one of the largest diversified commercial real estate service companies in the world. The Company delivers brokerage, project management and building management services through its Global Services group and undertakes development and investment activities through its Development and Investment group. The Company serves two different types of clients: user clients, which include large corporations, healthcare systems, public sector clients and other end users that occupy commercial property in connection with their business operations; and investor clients, which include pension funds, advisors and others that own or manage real estate assets primarily for investment purposes.

Services provided to user clients by the Company’s Global Services group, which has approximately 6,600 employees, consist of corporate advisory services, project management and facilities management. Corporate advisory services are brokerage and brokerage-related services that include primarily tenant representation brokerage services, as well as other transaction or portfolio services such as acquisition/disposition brokerage, lease administration and lease audits. Project management services include facility planning, construction oversight, space planning, site consolidations, multi-location expansion programs, facilities design, signage conversions, portfolio-wide operational refits and upgrades, and workplace moves, adds and changes. Facilities management services are building management services that include administration and day-to-day operation, maintenance and repair of client-occupied facilities, office services, and call center services.

Services provided to investor clients by the Company’s Global Services group consist of brokerage, construction management and property management. Brokerage services include project leasing (when the Company is engaged as the owner’s leasing agent for renewals, expansions and leasing of vacant space in investor-owned properties) and capital markets (investment sales and capital sourcing) services. Construction management services are project management services that primarily include space planning and tenant finish coordination, typically in conjunction with property management and leasing assignments. Property management services are building management services that include all aspects of building operations, maintenance and repair, tenant relations and oversight of building improvement processes.

Global Services clients are served through a network of offices in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin/South America. Operations outside of the United States are primarily focused on the provision of services to user clients, which generally include U.S.-based multi-nationals who have outsourced their services requirements to the Company on a portfolio basis. The Company’s international service delivery is enhanced by its affiliations and alliances with Savills plc (“Savills”), a leading property services company based in the United Kingdom with operations throughout Europe and Asia; Trammell Crow Meghraj, a leading property services company in India; and JJ Barnicke, a leading Canadian real estate services provider.

The Development and Investment group, with approximately 250 employees, provides development services to users and investors and pursues opportunistic but risk-mitigated development and investment in commercial real estate across a wide spectrum of product types, including industrial, office and retail properties; healthcare facilities of all types (medical office buildings, hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers); higher education facilities, including student housing; and residential/mixed-use projects. The Company acts as the general manager of the development process, providing services that are vital in all

30




stages of the process, including: (i) site identification, due diligence and acquisition; (ii) evaluating project feasibility, budgeting, scheduling and cash flow analysis; (iii) procurement of approvals and permits, including zoning and other entitlements; (iv) project finance advisory services; (v) coordination of project design and engineering; (vi) construction bidding and management and tenant finish coordination; and (vii) project close-out and tenant move coordination. The Company may pursue development and investment activity on behalf of its user and investor clients (with no ownership), in partnership with its clients (through co-investment-either on an individual project basis or through a fund or program) or for its own account (100% Company ownership).

Financial Overview

Consolidated Results.   The Company’s net income for the second quarter and first half of 2006 was up 6% and 21% from the second quarter and first half of 2005, from $8.3 million and $10.3 million to $8.8 million and $12.5 million, respectively. Global Services segment profit growth was partially offset by the increased year-to-date Development and Investment loss. The increased Development and Investment loss is attributable to costs associated with the significant increase in project activity. The Company’s diluted earnings per share for the second quarter and first half of 2006 was $0.24 and $0.34, up from $0.23 and $0.29 reported for the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively. Consolidated revenues increased $30.2 million (14%) and $69.6 million (18%) for the second quarter and first half of 2006 as compared to the same periods of 2005, respectively.

In February 2006, the Company received authorization from its Board of Directors to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its common stock from time to time in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. In June 2006, the Company completed its $50.0 million share repurchase program. A total of 1,487,500 shares were repurchased at an average price of $33.61 per share.

Segment Performance.   The Global Services segment income before income taxes increased 39% from $22.4 million in the first half of 2005 to $31.1 million in the first half of 2006. Revenues for this segment increased 17%, from $371.8 million in the first half of 2005 to $436.7 million in the first half of 2006. Increases in all of the user services revenues lines (facilities management up 15%, corporate advisory services up 51% and project management up 11%) contributed to the increase in income before income taxes, as did the 16% increase in brokerage revenues from investor customers. The revenue increases reflect the impact of the Company’s success in winning new outsourcing business-both through new contract awards and expansions with existing customers-and its continued efforts to grow its brokerage business.

The Development and Investment segment posted a loss before income taxes of $10.5 million in the first half of 2006 as compared to a $6.3 million loss in the first half of 2005. Segment operating expenses increased 22%, from $33.7 million in the first half of 2005 to $41.0 million in the first half of 2006. The increase reflects investments in additional personnel to drive and support growth and increases in real estate operating expense, interest, and depreciation and amortization associated with increased real estate development and investment activity.

Results of Operations—Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”), certain revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2006. As a result, certain balances differ from the amounts reported in previously filed documents. See Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes, below, for additional information.

Revenues.   Facilities management revenue increased from the second quarter and first half of 2005 to the second quarter and first half of 2006. This increase is primarily the result of the addition of several new customers as well as the expansion of existing client relationships subsequent to the second quarter of 2005. Reimbursement of salaries, wages, benefits and out-of-pocket general and administrative costs, a component of facilities management revenue, comprised the substantial majority of the revenue increases from 2005. The composition of facilities management revenue, including management fees and reimbursements, can vary significantly from period to period based on the terms of the underlying management agreements in effect each period.

Corporate advisory services revenue increased for the second quarter and first half of 2006 over the second quarter and first half of 2005, driven largely by increases in commissions generated from tenant representation transactions. The increase in commission revenues was in part the result of an increase in the number of tenant representation brokers as the Company has focused on expanding its brokerage network. In addition, transaction volumes have increased as clients continue to show a willingness to make real estate commitments.

The revenue growth in project management was the result of the addition of new clients and the expansion of services provided to existing clients (due to increases in clients’ portfolios, the scope of the Company’s services under certain outsourcing contracts and transaction volume).

Property management revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005. Square footage under management decreased slightly, primarily due to sales of buildings in the Company’s management portfolio to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) or other investors that self-manage their properties or use other service providers. In addition, some square footage decreases resulted from existing clients taking services in-house or to other service providers. These decreases were partially offset by additions to square footage related to new business.

Brokerage revenue increased in the second quarter and first half of 2006 from the same periods in 2005, primarily due to increases in project leasing commissions. Project leasing increased due to improving market fundamentals, such as decreasing vacancies and increasing rents in certain markets. Investment sales revenues also increased slightly as real estate remains a favored asset class among certain investors as a result of improving leasing fundamentals and relatively low interest rates.

Construction management revenue increased for the second quarter and first half of 2006 over the second quarter and first half of 2005. Construction management revenue is generated from services including space planning and tenant finish coordination for investor clients in conjunction with property management and leasing assignments, and are directly related to tenants’ real estate demands. The increase in construction management revenue resulted from a higher volume of construction projects as tenant leasing activity increased and is consistent with the increase in project leasing revenue.

Development and construction revenue increased in the second quarter and first half of 2006 as compared to the same periods of 2005, driven in part by an increase in development fees driven by higher activity levels. In addition, development and construction revenue also increased due to higher rental revenue from acquisitions of operating real estate properties.

Through approximately 1990, the Company focused its commercial real estate development business on office, industrial and retail projects primarily for investor clients. Since that time, the Company has expanded its focus to include other types of commercial development and development for user clients. National initiative teams source development and acquisition opportunities with both user and investor clients in healthcare, higher education, on-airport distribution and residential/mixed-use, and initiative personnel support local development teams in the execution of the resulting projects. By expanding its focus to include development for user clients and in these initiatives, particularly those in the healthcare sector, the Company seeks to mitigate the cyclicality traditionally inherent in the commercial development

34




business. The Company seeks to establish funds and programs with capital partners and to channel increasing amounts of development and investment activity into those funds and programs. The Company’s in-process inventory of projects has grown to $4.8 billion at June 30, 2006, up from $3.3 billion at June 30, 2005.

The Company’s gain on disposition of real estate increased in the second quarter and first half of 2006 as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2005. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company sold two real estate projects with an aggregate net sales price of $5.1 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition of $2.2 million. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company sold one real estate project with a net sales price of $0.8 million and recognized a gain of $0.7 million on the disposition along with a deferred gain of $0.2 million relating to previous period dispositions. During the first half of 2006, the Company sold five real estate projects with an aggregate net sales price of $7.2 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition of $3.1 million and recognized a deferred gain of $0.1 million relating to previous period dispositions. During the first half of 2005, the Company recognized a total gain on disposition of real estate of $2.5 million. This gain comprised the sale of two real estate projects with an aggregate net sales price of $1.6 million and a settlement related to the estimated cost to complete construction related to a previous period disposition. This gain also included deferred gain recognition of $0.2 million related to dispositions in prior periods.

In addition, Development and Investment income is generated from investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and from the operation and/or disposition of real estate classified as “discontinued operations.” The impact of Development and Investment project sales accounted for as income from the Company’s unconsolidated subsidiaries or as income from discontinued operations is a regular part of, and can contribute significantly to, Development and Investment results in any given period. See Income from Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, Net of Income Taxes and Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes, below, for additional information.

Costs and Expenses.   Salaries, wages and benefits expense includes all compensation paid to Company employees other than brokerage commissions. As such, it includes salaries, benefits and annual incentive bonuses for employees whose compensation is reimbursed by clients (“reimbursed employees”); salaries, benefits and annual incentive bonuses for employees whose compensation is not so reimbursed (“unreimbursed employees”); long-term incentive compensation associated with stock-based awards to certain employees; and transaction-related incentive compensation other than brokerage commissions, primarily paid in connection with development and investment transactions, including those transactions recorded as income from discontinued operations. Salaries, wages and benefits expense for both reimbursed and unreimbursed employees increased in the second quarter and first half of 2006 from the second quarter and first half of 2005. Salaries, wages and benefits for reimbursed employees grew as the Company increased its facilities management and project management headcount to service client expansions and new clients. The increased expense for unreimbursed employees resulted from an increase in personnel to support the Company’s overall growth. In addition, the Company experienced a sharp increase of $4.1 million in employee medical costs in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. The first quarter 2006 increase was unusual based on the Company’s historical experience. The increase moderated in the second quarter and was more in line with expectations and prior year experience. The Company is self-insured for employee medical costs with third-party stop-loss insurance for large individual claims.

The increase in commission expense during the second quarter and first half of 2006 was directly attributable to the increases in the Company’s corporate advisory services and brokerage revenue discussed above.

General and administrative expenses increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2006 as compared to the same periods of 2005, due in part to increased client-reimbursed out-of-pocket general

35




and administrative expenses, associated with growth in the Company’s facilities management and project management service lines. The 2006 increase is also due in part to an increase in unreimbursed expenses including legal and professional fees and travel and entertainment. In addition, the acquisition of several operating real estate properties has led to increased real estate operating expenses in 2006. These properties, which the Company plans to redevelop, lease and sell, include acquisitions made through the Company’s fifth discretionary development and investment fund (“Fund V”).

Depreciation and amortization expenses remained relatively flat in the second quarter and first six months of 2006 as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2005. Interest expense increased in the second quarter and first half of 2006, partially as a result of higher outstanding balances and interest rates under the Company’s revolving line of credit as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2005 and an increase in notes payable related to operating real estate properties in 2006 as compared to 2005. The higher balances under the Credit Facility were incurred to fund the Company’s acquisition of an additional ownership interest in Savills in the second quarter of 2005, as well as to fund the Company’s 2006 stock repurchases and additional real estate investments.

Minority Interest, Net of Income Taxes.   Minority interest income decreased from the second quarter and first half of 2005 to the second quarter and first half of 2006. This decrease is due in part to expense recognized in 2006 related to a gain on disposition of a consolidated real estate project, which was shared with outside partners. In addition, a portion of the second quarter and first half of 2005 income relates to the minority interest owners’ share of fees earned by the Company related to certain real estate projects.

Income from Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, Net of Income Taxes.   In the ordinary course of business, a significant portion of the Company’s development and investment activities are conducted, and are expected to be conducted in future periods, through unconsolidated subsidiaries. The Company also has certain investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries which are not related to its development and investment activities. Income from investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries fluctuates from period to period based on the volume and profitability of the business and transactions carried out by the underlying unconsolidated subsidiaries. The increase in income from investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in the second quarter and first six months of 2006 as compared to the same periods of 2005 reflects, among other things, the Company’s increased investment in Savills (made in April 2005). For the second quarter and first half of 2006, income from investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries also includes the Company’s share of the operating results of Trammell Crow Meghraj, the Company’s Indian affiliate (investment made in October 2005) and of Trammell Crow Company Krombach Partners, the affiliate through which the Company provides services in the St. Louis area (formed in October 2005). The increase in income from 2005 to 2006 was partially offset by the income from a building sale by an unconsolidated subsidiary in 2005.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes.   Income from discontinued operations consists of the operations of real estate properties and gain on disposition of real estate properties held for sale or sold, that were considered components of an entity under FAS 144 and in which the Company had not retained or did not expect to retain significant continuing involvement. Dispositions of real estate assets have been and continue to be a significant part of the Company’s activities and, as a result of applying the provisions of FAS 144, the Company expects a significant amount of these activities to be classified as discontinued operations in future periods. Because gains on sale of real estate projects accounted for as income from discontinued operations give rise to indirect costs, such as incentive and other compensation expense of Development and Investment segment personnel and fund-level minority interest associated with the gains, the portion of the Company’s net income attributable to sales of real estate projects was significantly less than the amount shown as income from discontinued operations. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company sold one real estate project that was considered discontinued operations for a net sales price of $0.8 million, resulting in a gain on disposition (before income taxes) of $0.2 million. The Company sold four real estate projects in the second quarter of 2005

36




that were considered discontinued operations for a net sales price of $27.4 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition (before income taxes) of $1.9 million.

In the first half of 2006, the Company sold four real estate projects that were considered discontinued operations for an aggregate net sales price of $23.6 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition (before income taxes) of $5.1 million. During the first half of 2005, the Company sold five real estate projects that were considered discontinued operations for an aggregate net sales price of $29.2 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition (before income taxes) of $2.0 million.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle, Net of Income Taxes.   The income from cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle is due to the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006 (“FAS 123R”). FAS 123R requires the Company to estimate forfeitures of share-based payments upon grant and to reevaluate this estimate during the requisite service period. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company’s policy had been to reverse expense related to forfeitures of restricted stock as they occurred. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of income taxes, which represented a reversal of expense taken for those shares of unvested restricted stock granted prior to adoption that the Company estimates will be forfeited before vesting. See New Accounting Pronouncements, below, for additional information.

Net Income.   Net income increased due to the fluctuations in revenues and expenses described above. In addition, net income for the second quarter and first half of 2006 was adversely impacted due to an increase in the Company’s effective income tax rate.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted FAS 123R effective January 1, 2006, using the modified-prospective transition method, and results for prior periods were not adjusted. Prior to adoption of FAS 123R, the Company elected to use the intrinsic method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to account for its stock-based compensation arrangements. Compensation expense for stock options was recognized to the extent the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant exceeded the exercise price of the option. The Company recognized compensation expense related to restricted stock grants over the vesting period of the underlying award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. No compensation expense was recognized related to the difference between the employee’s cost and the market value of stock purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.

FAS 123R requires all stock-based awards to employees to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. FAS 123R also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures of share-based payments upon grant and to reevaluate this estimate during the requisite service period. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company’s policy had been to reverse expense related to forfeitures of restricted stock as they occurred. See Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle, Net of Income Taxes. All other impacts of adopting FAS 123R to the Company’s consolidated statement of income and net income per share were not material.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million and $3.2 million with a related income tax benefit realized of $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2006, the total compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards not yet recognized was $14.3 million, net of expected forfeitures, and the weighted-average period over which these awards are expected to be recognized was 2.7 years.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s

37




consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FAS 109”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 creates a two-step process in evaluating a tax position. The first step, recognition, requires the Company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step, measurement, states that a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold should be measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with the tax position measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Upon initial adoption, all tax positions should be reviewed and only positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets). The amount of the cumulative adjustment is the difference between the net assets and liabilities recognized prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the net assets and liabilities recognized as a result of applying FIN 48. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

Quarterly Results of Operations and Seasonality

The results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. The Company’s revenues and net income during the fourth fiscal quarter historically have been significantly greater than in each of the first three fiscal quarters, primarily because its clients have demonstrated a tendency to close transactions toward the end of the fiscal year. The timing and introduction of new contracts, the disposition of investments in real estate assets, the recognition of incentive fees (often in the latter part of the fiscal year as contractual targets are met) and other factors may also cause quarterly fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources requirements include the funding of working capital needs, primarily costs incurred in providing services to its clients before collection of related billings; the funding of capital investments, including the acquisition of or investments in other real estate service companies; the repurchase of its shares if authorized by the Board of Directors; expenditures for real estate and payments on notes payable associated with its development and investment activities; and expenditures related to upgrading the Company’s management information systems. The Company finances its operations with internally generated funds and borrowings under the Credit Facility (described below). The portion of the Company’s development and investment business that includes the acquisition and development of real estate is financed with loans secured by underlying real estate, external equity, internal sources of funds, or a combination thereof.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $62.6 million for the first six months of 2006, compared to $64.3 million in the first six months of 2005. This decrease in cash used was in part due to greater collections of accounts receivable in the first half of 2006 as compared to the first half of 2005. Also, the change in receivables from affiliates was a reduction of $0.3 million in 2006, as compared to an increase of $6.0 million in 2005, due to amounts loaned to an unconsolidated subsidiary in 2005. In addition, there was a decrease in income tax payments in the first half of 2006 on account of 2005 activity, as compared to such payments in the first half of 2005 on account of 2004 activity, primarily due to the timing of payments made for each period. Cash used also decreased due to higher levels of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to the Company’s growth in 2006. These cash inflows were partially offset by an increase in the notes receivables in the first half of 2006 related to higher amounts loaned by the Company with regard to real

38




estate projects. Also, there was an increase in restricted cash in 2006, primarily due to an increase in cash that is restricted for use by the Company’s consolidated insurance company to pay insurance premiums to third-party insurance companies. In addition, cash used in real estate activities, net of related borrowings, was $17.6 million in the first half of 2006, compared to $15.0 million for the same period of 2005 as a result of increased real estate investment activity in the first half of 2006.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $24.6 million for the first six months of 2006, compared to $134.2 million for the first six months of 2005. This decrease in cash used is primarily due to a decrease in investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, net of distributions, to $5.3 million for the first six months of 2006 as compared to $90.3 million in the same period of 2005. The 2005 contributions primarily related to the Company’s additional investment in Savills. In addition, cash used decreased due to the Company’s wholly-owned captive insurance company making purchases, net of sales proceeds, of $0.3 million in marketable securities in 2006, as compared to net purchases of $17.8 million in 2005. Also, expenditures made in 2006 related to real estate classified as “held for investment” were $15.3 million compared to $21.0 million in 2005.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $47.8 million during the first six months of 2006 as compared to $80.9 million during the same period of 2005. The decrease in cash provided in 2006 is in part due to borrowings, net of principal debt payments, under the Company’s line of credit of $52.5 million, compared to borrowings, net of principal debt payments, of $75.5 million in the comparable 2005 period. The Company used the 2006 borrowings to fund its purchase of shares of its own stock, and income tax and incentive payments on account of 2005 results. The Company used the 2005 borrowings to fund its purchase of additional shares of Savills in 2005. In addition, the Company received proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of $17.8 million in 2006, as compared to $5.2 million in 2005. Also contributing to the increase in cash was an increase in proceeds from borrowings, net of payments, of $23.9 million on notes payable related to real estate held for investment as compared to $20.6 million in the same period of 2005. In addition, the Company received contributions from, net of distributions to, minority interest holders of $1.6 million in 2006, compared to distributions, net of contributions, of $2.5 million in 2005. Also, the Company repurchased shares of its own stock totaling $50.0 million in the first half of 2006, as compared to $20.0 million of stock repurchases in the comparable period in 2005.

In June 2005, the Company obtained a $175.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) arranged by Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent, which replaced the Company’s previous $150.0 million revolving line of credit. The Company can obtain loans under the terms of the Credit Facility, which are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans. Base Rate Loans bear interest at a base rate plus a margin up to 0.25% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The base rate is the higher of the prime lending rate or an average federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus a margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.0%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Eurodollar rate is based on the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate.

The Credit Facility contains various covenants such as the maintenance of minimum equity, liquidity, revenues, interest coverage ratios and fixed charge ratios. The Credit Facility also includes restrictions on recourse indebtedness and total indebtedness, restrictions on liens and certain restrictions on investments and acquisitions that can be made by the Company. In addition, the Company may not pay dividends, repurchase common shares, or make other distributions on account of its common stock exceeding 50% of the previous year’s net income before depreciation and amortization. In February 2006, the Company amended its Credit Facility to allow for repurchases or other distributions on account of its common stock in an amount up to $100.0 million through December 31, 2006 and to reduce the minimum required net worth covenant. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain significant subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by a pledge of a stock of such significant subsidiaries and a pledge of certain intercompany indebtedness.

39




The Company’s participation in derivative transactions has been limited to risk management purposes, and derivative instruments are not held for trading purposes. If a certain interest coverage ratio is not maintained, as defined in the agreement, the Credit Facility requires the Company to enter into one or more interest rate agreements for the Company’s floating rate indebtedness in excess of $30.0 million (other than certain construction loans) ensuring the net interest on such excess is fixed, capped or hedged.

The Company also has a $25.0 million short-term revolving line of credit (the “Swing Line”) with Bank of America, N.A. Each loan obtained by the Company under the Swing Line matures in five business days, but no later than June 28, 2008, and bears interest at a 30-day LIBOR-based rate (plus an applicable margin as defined per the agreement). Borrowings under the Swing Line are unsecured and reduce borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.

At June 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $85.0 million under the Credit Facility and $2.5 million under the Swing Line. The covenants contained in the Credit Facility and the amount of the Company’s other borrowings and contingent liabilities may have the effect of limiting the borrowing capacity available to the Company under the Credit Facility to an amount less than the $175.0 million commitment. The Company’s unused borrowing capacity (taking into account borrowings and letters of credit outstanding) under the Credit Facility was $81.5 million at June 30, 2006. Since many of the financial covenants in the Credit Facility are dependent on the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, “EBITDA,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement and calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis, a decline in the Company’s overall operations could adversely impact the Company’s ability to comply with these financial covenants and, in turn, the Company’s borrowing capacity.

At June 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility. The Company expects to continue to borrow under the Credit Facility to finance future strategic acquisitions and investments, fund its co-investment activities and provide the Company with an additional source of working capital.

In 2005 and 2006, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements in order to limit its interest expense on construction loans with 30-day LIBOR-based floating interest rates related to consolidated real estate projects. The interest rate cap agreements have notional amounts of $25.7 million and $18.5 million, and the Company receives payments if the LIBOR-based interest rate exceeds 5.5%. These agreements expire on January 2, 2008 and April 1, 2009. Through June 30, 2006, amounts recorded related to these interest rate cap agreements were not material.

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and available credit under the Credit Facility and loans secured by underlying real estate, will be sufficient to finance its current operations, planned capital expenditure requirements, payment obligations for development purchases, investments in development and investment funds and programs, share repurchases, acquisitions of and investments in service companies, signing bonuses or loans for new employees and internal growth for the foreseeable future. The Company’s need, if any, to raise additional funds to meet its working capital and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success and pace of implementation of its growth strategy. The Company regularly considers capital raising alternatives to be able to take advantage of available avenues to supplement its working capital, including strategic corporate partnerships or other alliances, bank borrowings and the sale of equity and/or debt securities.

In February 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to $50.0 million of its common stock from time to time in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase of shares is intended to be accretive to future earnings per share for holders who retain their shares. The Company’s intent with respect to its stock repurchase programs is to reserve the repurchased shares for issuance in connection with the Company’s equity-based incentive

40




plans, as well as for other corporate purposes. In June 2006, the Company completed its $50.0 million share repurchase program. A total of 1,487,500 shares were repurchased at an average price of $33.61 per share.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has off-balance sheet arrangements consisting of certain debt repayment guarantees that have been provided by the Company as security for the obligations of others (primarily unconsolidated subsidiaries of the Company) in the normal course of the Company’s real estate development business. The Company has not made any material payments under such arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005. The Company has guaranteed a maximum of $7.04 million of such notes payable, of which $7.00 million was outstanding at June 30, 2006. Payments required under these arrangements, if any, could be indicative of impairment in the Company’s investments in the underlying unconsolidated subsidiaries and therefore could result in additional expense to the Company.

Reference is hereby made to the disclosures contained in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2006.

ITEM 3.                Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. The Company is exposed to market risk related to its Credit Facility and loans secured by real estate properties as discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources” and in Notes 6 and 7 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Credit Facility and the majority of the loans secured by real estate bear interest at variable rates and are subject to fluctuations in the market. During the first six months of 2006, the Company’s borrowings under the Credit Facility increased $52.5 million (net of principal debt payments) primarily to fund incentive compensation and income tax payments, investment in real estate and repurchases of its common stock. From time to time, the Company purchases interest rate agreements to hedge, cap or lock a portion, but not all, of its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, and, as such, the effects of interest rate changes may be limited.

The Company’s earnings are also somewhat affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies as a result of the operations of the Company and its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries in Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia. There have been no significant changes in foreign currency market risks since December 31, 2005.

ITEM 4.                Controls and Procedures

The Company accounts for its interest in Savills on the equity method. See footnote 6, “Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.”  For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s share of Savills’ income from continuing operations before income taxes represented approximately 22% of the Company’s income from continuing operations before income taxes, calculated in accordance with Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. As this exceeds the 20% threshold under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, the Company was required to file Savills’ audited financial statements on a Form 10-K/A by June 29, 2006. The Company believes that the use of income from continuing operations as the measure of recurring income by which Savills’ significance is calculated overstates Savills’ significance because the Company’s income from continuing operations does not include a category of income that is routinely generated by sales of properties created through its development operations-“income from discontinued operations” that is categorized as such solely as a result of the application of FAS 144. If this type of recurring income from property sales transactions were included as income from continuing operations, Savills would have accounted for approximately 16% of the Company’s 2005 recurring income (measured on this basis), and

42




the filing of Savills’ financial statements would not have been required. Nonetheless, because the Company’s share of Savills’ 2005 income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X exceeded the 20% threshold, the Company requested Savills to take the actions required of it to facilitate the Company’s filing of Savills’ audited financial statements on a Form 10-K/A by June 29, 2006. Savills refused to take such actions. While  the Company was unable to file the required financial statements, Savills did provide the Company with all information required to properly account for its interest in Savills (which information was reflected in the Company’s 2005 10-K) and the Company did file a Form 10-K/A to provide certain information regarding Savills, including summarized unaudited financial information of Savills as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the years then ended and to provide a reference to where Savills’ full audited financial statements may be viewed or obtained. The Company will be unable to determine if it is required to file Savills’ audited financial statements with respect to the 2006 calendar year until the year has ended and the Company and Savills have finalized their full year financial results. If so required, the Company will seek Savills’ cooperation in taking the actions required of it to facilitate the Company’s filing of Savills’ audited financial statements, but the Company has no contractual or other right to require Savills to so cooperate and, accordingly, gives no assurances that the Company’s efforts will be successful. The result of this circumstance is that, based solely on the Company’s inability to provide the financial statements of Savills, the Company was not in compliance with Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to its 10-K/A filing. The primary effect of this non-compliance is that the Company may be limited in its ability to effect registered sales of its securities until it can comply with the requirement to file Savills’ financial statements, or the requirement ceases to apply to the Company. The Company has not sought to effect registered sale of its securities since 1999, other than in connection with its employee benefit plans.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based solely on the Company’s inability to provide the financial statements of Savills described above (and no other aspects of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded  that the Company’s design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in ensuring that all information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings or submissions with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.                Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business, some of which involve claims for damages which are substantial in amount. The ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined. However, based on the information currently available, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any such matters to which it is currently a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
