CBRE HOLDING, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.  Organization

 

CBRE Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on February 20, 2001 as Blum CB Holding Corporation.  On March 26, 2001, Blum CB Holding Corporation changed its name to CBRE Holding, Inc. (the Company).  The Company and its former wholly owned subsidiary, Blum CB Corporation (Blum CB), a Delaware corporation, were 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, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of RCBA Strategic Partners, L.P. (RCBA Strategic), which is an affiliate of Richard C. Blum, a director of the Company and CBRE.

 

On July 20, 2001, the Company acquired CBRE (the merger) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 31, 2001, among the Company, CBRE and Blum CB.  Blum CB was merged with and into CBRE, with CBRE being the surviving corporation.  The operations of the Company after the merger are substantially the same as the operations of CBRE prior to the merger.  In addition, the Company has no substantive operations other than its investment in CBRE.

 

2.  New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.”  This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. The statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of its fair value can be made.  The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, although earlier application is encouraged.  Adoption of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.”  This statement establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of  SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. This statement rescinds the following pronouncements:

 

Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt;”

Statement No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers;” and

Statement No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.”

 

The statement amends Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions.

 

The provisions of this statement related to the rescission of Statement No. 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The provisions of this statement related to Statement No. 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this statement shall be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002.  Adoption of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.”

 

6



 

This statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94.3,“Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.”  This statement is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on its financial position and results of operations.

 

3.  Basis of Preparation

 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and for the period from February 20, 2001 (inception) through September 30, 2001, reflect the consolidated balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.  They also include the consolidated financial statements of CBRE from the date of the merger, which include all material adjustments required under the purchase method of accounting.  Additionally, in accordance with Regulation S-X, CBRE is considered the predecessor to the Company.  As such, the historical financial statements of CBRE prior to the merger are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the consolidated statement of operations for the period from July 1, 2001 to July 20, 2001 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2001 to July 20, 2001 (collectively “Predecessor financial statements”). The Predecessor financial statements have not been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of CBRE by the Company. As such, the consolidated financial statements of the Company after the merger are not directly comparable to the Predecessor financial statements prior to the merger.

 

Pro forma results of the Company, assuming the merger had occurred as of January 1, 2001, are presented below. These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as the elimination of historical amortization expense related to goodwill as a result of the implementation of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and increased interest expense as a result of debt acquired to finance the merger. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of what the operating results would have been, and may not be indicative of future operating results (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules applicable to Form 10-Q 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 (U.S.) 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 statements to conform to the current period presentation.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.  The consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filing on form 10-K, which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, as of and for the period ended December 31, 2001.

4.  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations” and requires the use of the purchase method of accounting 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 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 goodwill might be impaired.  SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets.”

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001 and fully adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002.  The Company has identified its reporting units and has determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those units.

 

In June 2002, the Company completed the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test which entailed comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value.  The Company determined that no impairment existed at the effective date of the implementation of the new standard.  The Company also completed its required annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2002 and determined that no impairment existed as of that date.

 

Had the Company accounted for goodwill consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 in prior periods, the Company’s net income (loss) would have been affected as follows (in thousands, except share data):

The Company’s investment management business involves investing the Company’s own capital in certain real estate investments together with clients, including its equity investments in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners, L.P., Global Innovation Partners, L.L.C., CB Richard Ellis Corporate Partners, L.L.C. and other co-investments. The Company has provided investment management, property management, brokerage, appraisal and other professional services to these equity investees.

 

6.  Debt

 

The Company has $229.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11 ¼% Senior Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2011 (the Notes), which were issued and sold by Blum CB Corp. for approximately $225.6 million, net of discount, on June 7, 2001 and assumed by CBRE in connection with the merger.  The notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all their assets.  The Notes require semi-annual payments of interest in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2001, 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, the Company may redeem up to 35.0% of the originally issued amount of the Notes at 111 ¼% 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, the Company is obligated to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by the Company and CBRE’s domestic subsidiaries.  The effective yield on the Notes is 11.5%.  The amount included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized discount, was $225.9 million at September 30, 2002.

 

The Company also entered into a $325.0 million Senior Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) with Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) and other lenders. The Credit Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all their assets.  The Credit Facility includes the Tranche A term facility of $50.0 million, maturing on July 20, 2007; the Tranche B term facility of $185.0 million, maturing on July 18, 2008; and the 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 senior secured credit facilities will bear interest at varying rates based on the Company’s option, at either LIBOR plus 2.50% to 3.25% or the alternate base rate plus 1.50% to 2.25% as determined by reference to the Company’s ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA, as defined in the debt agreement, in the case of the Tranche A and the revolving facility, and LIBOR plus 3.75% or the alternate base rate plus 2.75%, in the case of the Tranche B facility.  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.

 

The Tranche A facility will fully amortize by July 20, 2007 through quarterly principal payments over 6 years, which total $7.5 million each year through June 30, 2003 and $8.75 million each year thereafter through July 20, 2007. The Tranche B facility requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $0.5 million, with the remaining outstanding principal due on July 18, 2008. The revolving line of credit requires the repayment of any outstanding balance for a period of 45 consecutive days commencing on any day as determined by the Company in the month of December of each year. The Company repaid its revolving credit facility as of December 1, 2001 and at September 30, 2002 had an outstanding line of credit of $7.0 million. The total amount outstanding under the credit facility included in senior secured term loans, current maturities of long-term debt and short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $230.3 million at September 30, 2002.

 

The Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $65.0 million of 16.0% Senior Notes due on July 20, 2011 (the Senior Notes).  The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations, senior to all current and future unsecured indebtedness, but subordinated to all current and future secured indebtedness of the Company.  Interest accrues at a rate of 16.0% per year and is payable quarterly in cash in arrears.  However, until July 2006, interest in excess of 12.0% may be paid in kind. Additionally, at any time, interest may be paid in kind to the extent CBRE’s ability to pay cash dividends is restricted by the terms of the Credit Facility.  The Company elected to pay in kind interest in excess of 12.0%, or 4.0% that was payable on April 20, 2002 and July 20, 2002.  The Senior Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at 116.0% of par commencing on July 20, 2001 and at declining prices thereafter. In the event of a change in control, the Company is obligated to make an offer to purchase all of the outstanding Senior Notes at 101.0% of par. The total amount included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $61.1 million, net of unamortized discount, at September 30, 2002.

 

10



 

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

 

The Notes, the Credit Facility and the Senior Notes all contain numerous restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or distributions to stockholders or repurchase capital stock or debt, make investments, sell assets or subsidiary stock, engage in transactions with affiliates, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers.  The debt agreements require the Company to maintain certain minimum levels of net worth, a minimum coverage ratio of interest and certain fixed charges and a maximum leverage and senior leverage ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to funded debt (all as defined in the agreements).  The Credit Facility requires the Company to pay a facility fee based on the total amount of the unused commitment.

 

The Company has short-term borrowings of $123.9 million and $155.6 million with related weighted average interest rates of 4.3% and 4.5% as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

 

A subsidiary of the Company has a credit agreement with Residential Funding Corporation (RFC).  The initial credit agreement provided for a revolving line of credit of up to $150.0 million, bore interest at 1.0% over the RFC base rate, and expired on August 31, 2002.  On April 20, 2002, the Company obtained a temporary line of credit increase of $210.0 million that resulted in a total line of credit equaling $360.0 million, which expired on July 31, 2002.  On August 1, 2002, the Company obtained another temporary line of credit increase of $20.0 million that resulted in a total line of credit equaling $170.0 million, which expired on August 31, 2002.  On August 21, 2002, the expiration date on the initial credit agreement was extended to October 31, 2002.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company had a maximum of $186.8 million revolving line of credit principal outstanding.  At September 30, 2002, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include a $63.9 million warehouse line of credit outstanding, included in short-term borrowings, and also contain a $63.9 million warehouse receivable.

 

On October 24, 2002, the maturity date on the credit agreement with RFC was further extended to November 30,  2002.  Effective November 1, 2002, the Company executed an amendment to the revolving line of credit that increased the line of credit from $150.0 million to $200.0 million and redefined the RFC base rate to the greater of LIBOR or 2.0% per annum.

 

During 2001, the Company incurred certain non recourse debt through a joint venture in order to purchase property that is being marketed for sale.  In September 2002, the maturity date on this non-recourse debt was extended to June 18, 2003.

 

7.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, its ordinary course of business. Management believes that any liability that may result from disposition of these lawsuits will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

An important part of the strategy for the Company’s investment management business involves investing the Company’s own capital in certain real estate investments with its clients. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had committed an additional $28.0 million to fund future co-investments.

 

8.  Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss).  Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation 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.

9.  Per Share Information

 

Basic income (loss) per share for the Company was computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 15,016,044 and 11,865,459 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 15,033,640 and 4,921,204 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and for the period from February 20, 2001 (inception) through September 30, 2001, respectively. Diluted income per share included the dilutive effect of contingently issuable shares of 209,744 and 19,633 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively and 183,100 and 8,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

Basic loss per share for CBRE was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 21,194,674 and 21,306,584 for the period from July 1 to July 20, 2001 and for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001, respectively.  As a result of operating losses incurred for the period from July 1 to July 20, 2001 and for the period from January 1 to July 20, 2001, diluted weighted average shares outstanding did not give effect to common stock equivalents, as to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Due to the change in equity structure as a result of the merger, the current year per share information is not comparable to that of the prior year.

 

10.  Fiduciary Funds

 

The consolidated balance sheets do not include the net assets of escrow, agency and fiduciary funds, which amounted to $469.6 million and $373.2 million at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

 

11.  Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements

 

In connection with the merger with Blum CB, and as part of the financing of the merger, CBRE assumed an aggregate of $229.0 million in Senior Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2011.  These Notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with any of the Company’s senior subordinated unsecured indebtedness.  The Notes are effectively subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Notes.  The Notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by the Company, CBRE and CBRE’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries.

 

The following condensed consolidating financial information includes:

12.  Industry Segments

 

In the third quarter of 2001, subsequent to the merger transaction, the Company reorganized its business segments as part of its efforts to reduce costs and streamline its operations.  The Company reports its operations through three geographically organized segments:  (1) The Americas, (2) Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and (3) Asia Pacific.  The Americas consist of the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and operations located in Central and South America.  EMEA mainly consists of Europe, while Asia Pacific includes operations in Asia, Australia and New Zealand.  Previously, the Company reported its segments based on the applicable type of revenue transaction.  The Americas’ prior year results include merger-related and other nonrecurring charges of $24.5 million, as well as a nonrecurring pre-tax gain of $5.6 million from the sale of mortgage fund contracts in the first quarter of 2001. The following table summarizes the revenue and operating income (loss) by operating segment (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Introduction -

 

On July 20, 2001, the Company acquired CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. (CBRE), (the merger), pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 31, 2001 among the Company, CBRE and Blum CB Corp. (Blum CB), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Blum CB was merged with and into CBRE, with CBRE being the surviving corporation.  At the effective time of the merger, CBRE became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The results of operations of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 have been derived by combining the results of operations of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 with the results of CBRE, prior to the merger, for the period from July 1, 2001 to July 20, 2001.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 reflect the combination of the results of operations of the Company for the period February 20, 2001 (inception) to September 30, 2001 with the results of operations for CBRE, prior to the merger, for the period from January 1, 2001 to July 20, 2001.  The results of operations and cash flows of CBRE prior to the merger incorporated in this discussion are the historical results and cash flows of CBRE, the predecessor to the Company.  These CBRE results do not reflect any purchase accounting adjustments which are included in the results of the Company 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, the results of operations of the Company may not be comparable in all respects to the results of operations for CBRE prior to the merger.  However, the Company’s management believes a discussion of the operations is more meaningful by comparing the results of the Company with the results of CBRE.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources contained within this report on Form 10-Q is more clearly understood when read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements elaborate on certain terms that are used throughout this discussion and provide information about the Company and the basis of presentation used in this report on Form 10-Q.

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2001

 

The Company reported consolidated net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, on revenue of $284.9 million compared to a consolidated net loss of $27.7 million on revenue of $276.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

 

Revenue on a consolidated basis increased $8.8 million or 3.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001.  The increase was driven by higher sales transaction revenue primarily in the Company’s Americas operations and increased worldwide consulting fees, partially offset by a decline in lease transaction revenue mainly in the Americas operations.

 

Commissions, fees and other incentives on a consolidated basis totaled $137.5 million, an increase of $3.7 million or 2.8% from the third quarter of 2001. Higher sales transaction revenue commissions and international producer compensation primarily drove this increase. Commissions, fees and other incentives as a percentage of revenue was flat when compared to the prior year at approximately 48.0%.

 

Operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis were $119.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 1.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the third quarter of the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to fees paid to consultants and advisors to the Company, partially offset by higher income from equity investments.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis decreased by $1.9 million or 22.9% mainly due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization after the merger, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting

 

23



 

Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  Also contributing to the decrease is lower depreciation expense due primarily to lower capital expenditures in the current year.

 

The three months ended September 30, 2001 included merger-related and other nonrecurring charges on a consolidated basis of $19.8 million. These costs primarily consisted of merger-related costs of $15.1 million, the write-off of e-business investments of $3.3 million, as well as severance costs of $1.4 million related to the Company’s cost reduction program implemented in May 2001.

 

Consolidated interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was comparable to the prior year third quarter at $15.4 million.

 

Income tax expense on a consolidated basis was $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001.  The income tax provision and effective tax rate were not comparable between periods due to the effects of the merger and the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which includes the elimination of the amortization of goodwill created under such merger transactions.  In addition, the third quarter 2002 decline in market value of assets associated with the deferred compensation plan for which no tax benefit is realized contributed to an increased effective tax rate.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

 

The Company reported consolidated net income of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 on revenue of $793.8 million compared to a consolidated net loss of $32.8 million on revenue of $833.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

 

Revenue on a consolidated basis decreased by $39.7 million or 4.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decline was mainly driven by a $61.1 million decrease in worldwide lease transaction revenue and a $5.6 million decrease in other revenue, attributable primarily to the sale of mortgage fund contracts in March 2001. These decreases were partially offset by higher worldwide sales transaction revenue and investment management fees.

 

Commissions, fees and other incentives on a consolidated basis totaled $368.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $21.4 million or 5.5% from the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  This decrease was primarily due to lower variable commissions, principally in the Americas, driven by lower lease transaction revenues. This decrease was slightly offset by higher producer compensation within international operations, which has a higher fixed component as compared to the Americas.  Commissions, fees and other incentives as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 46.4% in the current year, as compared to 46.8% in the prior year.

 

Operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis were $353.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $31.9 million or 8.3% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease was driven primarily by cost cutting measures and operational efficiencies from programs initiated in May 2001.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis decreased by $13.3 million or 42.4% mainly due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization after the merger, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and lower depreciation expense, principally due to lower capital expenditures in the current year. The nine months ended September 30, 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 the acquisition date as determined by independent third party appraisers.

 

The nine months ended September 30, 2001 included merger-related and other nonrecurring charges on a consolidated basis of $25.4 million. These costs primarily consisted of merger-related costs of $16.5 million, the write-off of e-business investments of $6.1 million, as well as severance costs of $2.8 million related to the Company’s cost reduction program implemented in May 2001.

 

Consolidated interest expense was $46.3 million, an increase of $10.9 million or 30.6% over the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This was primarily attributable to the Company’s change in debt structure as a result of the merger.

 

Income tax expense on a consolidated basis was $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  The income tax provision and effective tax rate were not comparable between periods due to the effects of the merger and the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which includes

 

24



 

the elimination of the amortization of goodwill created under such merger transactions.  In addition, the third quarter 2002 decline in market value of assets associated with the deferred compensation plan for which no tax benefit is realized contributed to an increased effective tax rate.

 
Segment Operations

 

In the third quarter of 2001, subsequent to the merger transaction, the Company reorganized its business segments as part of its efforts to reduce costs and streamline its operations.  The Company now conducts and reports its operations through three geographically organized segments: (1) The Americas, (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and (3) Asia Pacific.  The Americas consist of the United States (US), Canada, Mexico, and operations located in Central and South America.  EMEA mainly consists of Europe, while Asia Pacific includes operations in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The Americas’ prior year results include merger-related and other nonrecurring charges of $24.5 million, as well as a nonrecurring pre-tax gain of $5.6 million from the sale of mortgage fund contracts in the first quarter of 2001. The following table summarizes the revenue, costs and expenses, and operating income (loss) by operating segment for the periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in thousands):

EBITDA, excluding merger-related and other nonrecurring charges represents earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets relating to acquisitions, merger-related and other nonrecurring charges.  Management believes that the presentation of EBITDA, excluding merger-related and other nonrecurring charges will enhance a reader’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance and ability to service debt as it provides a measure of cash generated (subject to the payment of interest and income taxes) that can be used by the Company to service its debt and for other required or discretionary purposes.  Additionally, many of the Company’s debt covenants are based upon EBITDA, excluding merger-related and other nonrecurring charges.  Net cash that will be available to the Company for discretionary purposes represents remaining cash after debt service and other cash requirements, such as capital expenditures, are deducted from EBITDA, excluding merger-related and other nonrecurring charges.  EBITDA, excluding merger-related and other nonrecurring charges should not be considered as an alternative to (i) operating income determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US or (ii) operating cash flow determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US.  The Company’s calculation of EBITDA, excluding merger-related and other nonrecurring charges may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2001

 

Americas

 

Revenue increased by $5.4 million or 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001, attributable primarily to an increase in sales transaction revenue and consulting fees, partially offset by a decrease in lease transaction revenue.  The sales transaction revenue increase was due to a higher number of transactions and higher average value per transaction.  The consulting fee increase was due to an increase in market share.  The lease transaction revenue decrease was driven by a lower average value per transaction, partially offset by a higher number of transactions. Commissions, fees and other incentives increased by $1.4 million or 1.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001, caused primarily by higher variable commissions. This was driven by higher sales transaction revenue and consultation fees, partially offset by lower lease transaction revenue.  Commissions, fees and other incentives as a percentage of revenue was flat at approximately 49.0% for the current year third quarter. Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased by $1.3 million or 1.5%, primarily due to higher equity income from equity investments, partially offset by fees paid to consultants and advisors to the Company.

 

EMEA

 

Revenue decreased by $0.8 million or 2.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001.  This was mainly driven by lower overall revenue in the United Kingdom (UK), partially offset by increases in Italy appraisal fees and overall revenue in the Netherlands.  Commissions, fees and other incentives increased $1.1 million or 6.8% due to higher producer compensation, principally in Italy driven by the growth in appraisal revenue. Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $0.3 million or 1.5% mainly attributable to higher occupancy costs, partially offset by lower accrued executive bonuses and profit sharing due to lower current quarter results.

 

Asia Pacific

 

Revenue increased by $4.2 million or 22.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001.  The increase was primarily driven by higher investment management fees in Japan and an overall increase in revenue in Australia and New Zealand, partially offset by lower revenues as a result of conversions to partner offices elsewhere in Asia.  Commissions, fees, and other incentives increased by $1.2 million or

 

26



 

13.3% primarily due to higher producer compensation resulting from increased personnel requirements in Australia and China, slightly offset by lower commissions due to conversions to partner offices elsewhere in Asia. Operating, administrative, and other expenses increased by $2.5 million or 26.9% primarily as a result of increased accrued bonuses due to higher results in Australia and higher consulting fees in Japan, offset partially by lower expenses due to conversions to partner offices elsewhere in Asia.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

 

Americas

 

Revenue decreased by $48.5 million or 7.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, attributable to lower lease transaction revenue, slightly offset by an increase in sales transaction revenue.  Lease transaction revenue decreased due to a lower average value per transaction.  Sales transaction revenue increased as a result of a higher average value per transaction.  Commissions, fees and other incentives decreased by $28.1 million or 8.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, caused primarily by lower variable commissions, producer bonuses and employment costs due to lower lease transaction revenue. Commissions, fees and other incentives as a percentage of revenue was flat at approximately 47.0% for the current year. Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased by $28.5 million or 9.7% as a result of cost reduction and efficiency measures, as well as the organizational restructuring implemented after the merger. Expenses recognized by key executive bonuses and profit sharing also declined, due to lower overall results.

 

EMEA

 

Revenue increased by $1.7 million or 1.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  This was mainly driven by increases in Italy appraisal fees, France investment management fees, Germany sales transaction revenue, and overall revenue in Spain, partially offset by lower overall revenue in the UK.  Commissions, fees and other incentives increased $3.8 million or 8.6% due to higher producer compensation primarily as a result of increased revenue and higher pension costs. Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased by $1.5 million or 2.5% mainly attributable to cost containment measures and lower bonuses, partially offset by higher occupancy costs.

 

Asia Pacific

 

Revenue increased by $7.0 million or 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  This increase was primarily driven by higher investment management fees in Japan and an increase in overall revenue in Australia and New Zealand, partially offset by lower revenues as a result of conversions to partner offices elsewhere in Asia.  Commissions, fees, and other incentives increased by $2.9 million or 11.1% primarily driven by higher producer compensation expense due to increased personnel requirements in Australia and China, slightly offset by lower commissions due to conversions to partner offices elsewhere in Asia. Operating, administrative, and other expenses decreased by $1.9 million or 6.2% primarily as a result of conversions to partner offices elsewhere in Asia and on going cost containment measures put in place following May 2001, as well as the organizational restructuring implemented after the merger. This decrease was partially offset by an increased accrual for bonuses due to higher results in Australia and higher consulting fees in Asia.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company believes it can satisfy its non-acquisition obligations, as well as its working capital requirements and funding of investments, with internally generated cash flow, borrowings under the revolving line of credit with CSFB or any replacement credit facilities.  Material acquisitions, if any, that necessitate cash will require new sources of capital such as an expansion of the revolving credit facility and raising money by issuing additional debt or equity. The Company anticipates that its existing sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated non-acquisition cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

 

The 11¼% Senior Subordinated Notes, the Senior Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) and the 16% Senior Notes (the Senior Notes) all contain numerous restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or distributions to stockholders or repurchase capital stock or debt, make investments, sell assets or subsidiary stock, engage in transactions with affiliates, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers.  The debt agreements require the Company to maintain certain minimum levels of net worth, a minimum coverage ratio of interest and certain fixed charges and a maximum leverage and senior leverage ratio of

earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to funded debt (all as defined in the agreements).  The Credit Facility requires the Company to pay a facility fee based on the total amount of the unused commitment.

 

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

 

A subsidiary of the Company has a credit agreement with Residential Funding Corporation (RFC).  The initial credit agreement provided for a revolving line of credit of up to $150.0 million, bore interest at 1.0% over the RFC base rate, and expired on August 31, 2002.  On April 20, 2002, the Company obtained a temporary line of credit increase of $210.0 million that resulted  in a total line of credit equaling $360.0 million, which expired on July 31, 2002.  On August 1, 2002, the Company obtained another temporary line of credit increase of $20.0 million that resulted in a total line of credit equaling $170.0 million, which expired on August 31, 2002.  On August 21, 2002, the expiration date on the initial credit agreement was extended to October 31, 2002.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company had a maximum of $186.6 million revolving line of credit principal outstanding.  At September 30, 2002, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include a $63.9 million warehouse line of credit outstanding, included in short-term borrowings, and also contain a $63.9 million warehouse receivable.  Subsequent to September 30, 2002, the warehouse line of credit in the amount of $63.9 million was repaid with proceeds from the warehouse receivable.

 

On October 24, 2002, the maturity date on the credit agreement with RFC was further extended to November 30, 2002.  Effective November 1, 2002, the Company executed an amendment to the revolving line of credit that increased the line of credit from $150.0 million to $200.0 million and redefined the RFC base rate to the greater of LIBOR or 2.0% per annum.

 

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $74.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  This decline was primarily due to  the improved 2002 results, as well as lower payments for 2001 bonus and profit sharing made in the current year as compared to the 2000 bonus and profit share payments made in the prior year.   In addition, the cash surrender value of insurance policies related to the deferred compensation plan decreased by $9.9 million during the current period as compared to a $3.3 million increase in the prior year.

 

The Company utilized $16.5 million in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $209.2 million compared to the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the prior year payment of the purchase price and related expenses related to the acquisition of CBRE by the Company.

 

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $324.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  This decrease was mainly attributable to the debt and equity financing required by the merger in the prior year.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, its ordinary course of business. Management believes that any liability that may result from disposition of these lawsuits will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Net Operating Losses

 

The Company had US federal income tax net operating losses (NOLs) of approximately $8.4 million at December 31, 2001.

 

The Company’s ability to utilize NOLs of CBRE has been limited for the period from July 21, 2001 to December 31, 2001 and will be limited in subsequent years because CBRE experienced a change in ownership greater than 50% on July 20, 2001. As a result of the ownership change, the limitation was approximately $7.1 million of its NOLs for the period from July 21, 2001 through December 31, 2001 and will be approximately $16.0 million in year 2002 and in each subsequent year until fully utilized.  The amount of NOLs is, in any event, subject to some uncertainty until the statute of limitations lapses after their utilization to offset taxable income.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company has identified revenue recognition and the principles of consolidation as critical accounting policies. The Company records 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 the Company satisfies all obligations under the commission agreement. A typical commission agreement provides that the Company earns 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 the Company does 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, the Company delays 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 the Company has no significant remaining obligations for performance in connection with the transaction, while loan servicing fees are recorded as principal and interest payments are collected from mortgagors.  Other commissions and fees are recorded as income at the time the related services have been performed unless significant future contingencies exist.

 

The Company consolidates majority-owned investments and separately discloses the equity attributable to minority shareholders’ interests in subsidiaries in the consolidated balance sheets.  Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, but does not control, are accounted for by using the equity method.  Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings of these equity-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.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.”  This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. The statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of its fair value can be made.  The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, although earlier application is encouraged.  Adoption of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.”  This statement establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of  SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.”  This statement rescinds the following pronouncements:

 

Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt;”

Statement No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers;” and

Statement No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.”

 

The statement amends Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions.

 

The provisions of this statement related to the rescission of Statement No. 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The provisions of this Statement related to Statement

 

29



 

No. 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002.  All other provisions of this statement shall be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002.  Adoption of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94.3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.”  This statement is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on its results of operations and financial position.

 

Safe Harbor Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Portions of this Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the ‘‘safe harbor’’ provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements, which are generally identified by the use of terms such as "will," "expected" or similar expressions, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results and performance in future periods to be materially different from any future results or performance suggested in forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements found herein to reflect any changes in its expectations or results or any change in events.  Factors that could cause results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: commercial real estate vacancy levels; employment conditions and their effect on vacancy rates; property values; rental rates; any general economic recession domestically or internationally; and general conditions of financial liquidity for real estate transactions.

 

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company’s exposure to market risk consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to international operations and changes in interest rates on debt obligations.

 

Approximately 26% of the Company’s business is transacted in local currencies of foreign countries. The Company attempts to manage its exposure primarily by balancing monetary assets and liabilities, and maintaining cash positions only at levels necessary for operating purposes. While the international results of operations as measured in dollars that are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the related risk is not considered material. The Company routinely monitors its transaction exposure to currency rate changes, and occasionally enters into currency forward and option contracts to limit its exposure, as appropriate. The Company does not engage in any speculative activities.

 

The Company manages its interest expense by using a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company utilizes sensitivity analyses to assess the potential effect of its variable rate debt. If interest rates were to increase by 51 basis points, which would comprise approximately 10% of the weighted average variable rates at September 30, 2002, the net impact would be a decrease of $1.3 million on pre-tax income and cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ending September 30, 2002.

ITEM 4.  DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Within ninety days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.   Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out this evaluation.
