TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 Companys 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 towards the latter part of the fiscal year as contractual targets are met and other factors may also cause quarterly fluctuations in the Companys 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, 2004, and certain revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, have been reclassified to conform to the presentation at and for the three months ended June 30, 2005 (see Notes 9 and 11). As a result, certain balances differ from the amounts reported in previously filed documents.
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.
Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for investments in debt and equity securities in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (FAS 115). The Company determines the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company classifies marketable securities it acquires with the intent to generate a profit from short-term movements in market prices as trading securities. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Marketable equity and

(Unaudited)
1. General (Continued)
debt securities not classified as trading or held to maturity are classified as available for sale. All of the marketable securities held by the Company at June 30, 2005 are classified as available for sale.
In accordance with FAS 115, the securities are carried at their fair market value and any difference between cost and market value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, and is reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of stockholders equity. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest and other income using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available for sale securities are included in interest and other income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available for sale are included in interest and other income.
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 income tax purposes, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse.
Earnings Per Share
The weighted-average common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, include 2,630,304 and 2,541,914 shares, respectively, to reflect the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock and options to purchase shares of common stock. The weighted-average common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, include 1,917,059 and 1,904,501 shares, respectively, to reflect the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock and options to purchase shares of common stock.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has 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. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized to the extent the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant exceeds the exercise price of the option. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to restricted stock awards over the vesting period of the underlying award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Companys stock on the date of grant.

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 Companys 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, 2005, the estimated settlement value of non-controlling interests in the Companys consolidated limited life subsidiaries is $9,086, as compared to book value (included in minority interest on the Companys balance sheet) of $6,001. The excess of settlement value over book value is driven by an even larger estimated appreciation of certain consolidated real estate assets and investments compared to the Companys book value, offset by selling costs and debt prepayment penalties, if any.

New Accounting Pronouncements
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 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.
In April 2005, the SEC deferred the implementation date of FAS 123R to become effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, or January 1, 2006 for the Company. FAS 123R permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: a modified-prospective method or a modified-retrospective method. The company plans to adopt FAS 123R using the modified-prospective method.
As permitted by FAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of FAS 123Rs fair value method could have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Companys overall financial position. The impact of adoption of FAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted FAS 123R, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of FAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in this Note 1.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 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). To promote consistency in applying this guidance to corporate entities and those entities that hold real estate:
· the EITF amended Issue No. 96-16, Investors Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Interest Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights (EITF 96-16), and
· the FASB staff issued FSP No. SOP 78-9-1, Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 with EITF Issue No. 04-5 (FSP SOP 78-9-1) which amends AICPA Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, to reflect the consensus reached in EITF 04-5.
EITF 04-5 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 abilityeither by a single limited partner or through a simple majority voteto dissolve (liquidate) the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause or (2) substantive participating rights. Substantive participating rightswhich are based on the concept discussed in EITF 96-16provide 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 partnerships business and thereby preclude the general partner from exercising unilateral control over the partnership.

(Unaudited)
1. General (Continued)
The effective date for applying the guidance in EITF 04-5 and FSP SOP 78-9-1 is (1) June 29, 2005, for all new limited partnerships and existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified, and (2) no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, for all other limited partnerships. The effect of initially applying this guidance may be accounted for similarly to a change in accounting principle or by restating the financial statements of prior periods. The amendments to EITF 96-16 are to be applied prospectively to new investment agreements and to investment agreements that are modified after June 29, 2005. Retrospective application is not required for investments in limited partnerships for which the entity is no longer a general partner as of the date that the guidance in EITF 04-5 is adopted.
The Company has not entered into any new limited partnerships or amended any existing limited partnerships that require application of EITF 04-5 in its June 30, 2005 financial statements. The impact of adopting EITF 04-5 cannot be predicted at this time, however, the Company anticipates that the adoption will not impact net income, earnings per share or stockholders equity. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its existing limited partnerships. The Company plans to account for any initial effect of applying the new guidance under the method similar to a change in accounting principle.
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 auto. The entity is wholly-owned by an employee of the Company who holds the appropriate local insurance agents 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 Companys 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 variable interest entity (VIE) under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R). As of June 30, 2005, the Company has $2,913 recorded in restricted cash and $357 recorded in available for sale securities that serve as collateral for the VIEs obligations to the insurance carriers.
In January 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 consolidates this entity as the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The entitys note payable balance of $22,489 at June 30, 2005, is non-recourse to the Company and is collateralized by the real estate project.
In May 2005, the Company obtained a 0.01% managing interest in an entity established to make loans to a Qualified Active Low-Income Community Business through a program enacted by the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000. The entity made two qualified loans to a single borrower totaling $34,500. The entitys equity used to fund the loans was contributed by its 99.99% investor member. The Company

2. Variable Interest Entities (Continued)
has determined that this entity is a VIE. However, based upon its evaluation, the Company has determined it 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. Additionally in May 2005, the Company obtained a 49% membership interest in a related entity that acts as the administrative member performing servicing and tax matters for the above referenced entity. Based upon its evaluation, the Company has determined that this entity is also a VIE since the entitys equity was funded from up-front fees received from the above referenced entity. However, based upon its evaluation, the Company has determined it 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 September 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 $35,400. 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 April 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 Companys 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 December 2004 and paid a portion of the Companys note receivable at that time. The Companys 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, 2005.

In the six months ended June 30, 2004, the company recorded provisions for losses on real estate of $94 to increase the allowances on real estate held for sale to reduce the carrying value of assets to fair value less cost to sell. This amount is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income. No such provisions were recorded in 2005.
In the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded writedowns for impairment of real estate (not classified as held for sale at the time of such writedowns) totaling $578. Of this amount, $120 is included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income in accordance with FAS 144. The remaining amount is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The writedowns for impairment primarily relate to a vacant land parcel in a market in which rental rates continued to decline and vacancy rates continued to increase at the time of the writedown. The Company obtained market comparisons for the land parcel and determined that, based on those market comparisons, the value of the land was impaired. There were no such writedowns for impairment in 2005.
In 2004, the Company sold a 150-acre land parcel to a third party for cash of $30,010. At the time of sale, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (other than the entity that sold the property) held a purchase contract on seven acres of the 150-acre land parcel. As a result, the Company recorded the transaction related to the seven-acre parcel as a financing transaction, rather than a sale. As of June 30, 2005, real estate and other assets held for sale includes $344 of real estate, and liabilities related to real estate and other assets held for sale includes $1,386 of notes payable, related to this seven-acre land parcel.
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 buyers investment. Because of the Companys 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, 2005, real estate and other assets held for sale includes $1,408 of real estate and $3 of other current assets, and liabilities related to real estate and other assets held for sale include $1,750 of notes payable and $211 of accrued interest, all related to this parcel of land.
The following is a summary of marketable securities held by the Company at June 30, 2005, all of which are classified as available for sale. The Company held no marketable securities at December 31, 2004.

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 5,243,229 shares by Savills at a price of 701.28 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 1,677,970 of Savills Ordinary Shares in open market purchases at an average price of 650.00 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 Companys 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 Companys line of credit. The investment is classified as an other investment in the table above.
The Company is in the process of completing its purchase price allocation of this additional ownership interest in Savills. Of the total purchase price, approximately $4,172 has been allocated to the value of customer relationships, property and facilities management contracts and backlog. This amount is being amortized over periods up to ten years. The estimated difference between the carrying value of the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net assets of $66,193 will be evaluated for impairment as part of the investment as a whole when evidence of a loss in value occurs. Impairment charges would be recognized when losses in value are other than temporary.
The summarized financial information below does not include the results of Savills as Savills qualifies as a foreign private issuer.

During June 2005, the Company entered into the Credit Facility and the Companys previous $150,000 line of credit was terminated. The Company repaid borrowings outstanding under the previous line of credit with proceeds from the Credit Facility. Under the Credit Facility, the Company can obtain loans, 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 Companys 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 Companys leverage ratio. The Eurodollar rate is based on the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate. Interest is payable in periods up to six months at the Companys discretion. The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility was 4.9% at June 30, 2005.
The shares of certain subsidiaries of the Company, accounting for at least 80% of Adjusted Gross EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility agreement, are pledged as security for the Credit Facility.
The Company is subject to various covenants associated with the Credit Facility, such as maintenance of minimum equity and liquidity and certain key financial data. In addition, the Company may not pay dividends or make other distributions on account of its common stock exceeding 50% of the previous years net income before depreciation and amortization, plus, for the year ending December 31, 2005 only, an amount equal to $20,000. There are also certain restrictions on investments and acquisitions that can be made by the Company. At June 30, 2005, the Company is in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility.
The covenants associated with the Credit Facility and the amount of the Companys 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, 2005, the Company has unused borrowing capacity of $88,595 (taking in account borrowings and letters of credit outstanding) under its Credit Facility.

7. Long-Term Debt (Continued)
Under the Credit Facility, the Company pays a quarterly fee equal to 0.25% per annum of the unused commitment under the line. 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 swap agreements for the Companys indebtedness in excess of $30,000 ensuring the net interest is fixed.
The Swing Line is a component of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Swing Line mature five business days from the date drawn (no later than June 28, 2008) and bear interest at a 30-day LIBOR-based rate (plus an applicable margin as defined in the agreement). Borrowings under the Swing Line reduce borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.

Notes payable on real estate held for sale are included in liabilities related to real estate and other assets held for sale. Notes payable on real estate under development (current) are included in current portion of notes payable on real estate. Notes payable on real estate under development (non-current) and real estate held for investment are classified according to payment terms and maturity date.
At June 30, 2005, $9,997 of the current portion and $8,912 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 holds the real estate asset and is the obligor on the note payable). With respect to a project to which $3,322 of the current recourse obligations relate, 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 (non-current). The participating mortgage loan is subordinate to a construction loan on the underlying project. The 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 and the related debt discount are $11,335 and $3,459, respectively, at

9. 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 Companys balance sheet. In accordance with FAS 144, balances related to assets classified as held for sale at June 30, 2005, or sold in the six months ended June 30, 2005, that were not classified as held for sale at December 31, 2004, have been reclassified to real estate and other assets held for sale in the Companys balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 presented herein.

11. Gain on Disposition of Real Estate and Discontinued Operations
During the first half of 2005, the Company recognized total gain on disposition of real estate (excluding discontinued operations) of $2,531. This gain was comprised of two sales of real estate projects with an aggregate net sales price of $2,337 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. During the first half of 2004, the Company sold four real estate projects for an aggregate net sales price of $15,595, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition of $3,993. The Company also recognized $338 of deferred gain from previous period dispositions.
The Companys discontinued operations include 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. The Company has certain real estate assets that are land parcels and constitute a component of an entity. From time to time, the Company disposes of these land parcels in smaller lots. An individual lot that is part of a larger land parcel does not constitute a component of an entity within the meaning of paragraph 41 of FAS 144 until it is either classified as held for sale in accordance with FAS 144 or sold. As required by FAS 144, certain revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
In the first six months of 2005, the Company sold five real estate projects that were considered discontinued operations under FAS 144. The aggregate net sales price for these projects was $28,522, and the Company recognized an aggregate gain on disposition of $1,962. In the first six months of June 30, 2004, the Company sold one real estate project that was considered a discontinued operation under

12. Financial Instruments
The Company has entered into various interest rate agreements to manage market risks related to changes in interest rates, primarily in satisfaction of requirements under the Companys Credit Facility. The Companys participation in derivative transactions has been limited to risk management purposes. Derivative instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes.
In December 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement in order to limit its interest expense on a construction loan with a 30-day LIBOR-based floating interest rate related to a consolidated real estate project. The interest rate cap agreement has a notional amount of $5,073 at June 30, 2005, and the Company will receive payments if the LIBOR-based interest rate exceeds 3.5%. The interest rate cap agreement has not been designated as an effective hedge, and, therefore, the interest rate cap agreement will be marked to market each period with the change in fair market value recognized in

current period earnings. The interest rate cap agreement expires on January 1, 2006. Through June 30, 2005, amounts recorded by the Company related to this interest rate cap agreement 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 Companys long-term debt and notes payable on real estate reasonably approximate their fair values based on the Companys incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has guaranteed repayment of a maximum of $5,053 of real estate notes payable of its unconsolidated subsidiaries, all of which is outstanding at June 30, 2005. These notes are secured by the underlying real estate and have maturity dates through December 2009.
The Company issued several debt repayment guarantees of others that are subject to the fair value provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Direct Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45).
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 Companys 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 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 Companys guaranty. As a result of this decrease, the remaining liability balance is $472 at June 30, 2005.
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. During 2004, 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.

13. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
At June 30, 2005, the Company has outstanding letters of credit totaling $23,502, including $11,596 and $9,070 of which collateralize amounts recorded in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively. The letters of credit expire at varying dates through June 2006.
In addition, the Company has 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, 2005, the Company has made non-refundable earnest money deposits totaling $4,364 in conjunction with contracts to acquire approximately $191,403 of real estate from other entities.
The Company and one of its subsidiaries are defendants in a lawsuit styled Bank One Oklahoma, N.A., et al. (the Bank) v. Trammell Crow Services, Inc. and Trammell Crow Company, No. 03 C 3624, pending in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, originally filed on April 2, 2003. The claims asserted by the plaintiffs relate to a sale/leaseback transaction involving a property in Oklahoma City previously owned by the Bank. The suit alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment against the Company and/or its subsidiary and alleges that the plaintiffs have been damaged in an unspecified amount in excess of $15,000. The plaintiffs seek to recover actual damages, punitive damages and reasonable attorneys fees. The suit is in the process of discovery, and no trial date has been set. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the outcome of the suit cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the Company cannot at this time estimate an amount or range of potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome. While the Company cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of this matter, the Company currently believes the plaintiffs claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the lawsuit.
From time to time, the Company is involved in other 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

During 2001, the Company announced an internal reorganization of its business designed to consolidate all of the property and facilities management, brokerage and corporate advisory, and construction and project management services delivered to both user and investor clients under a single leadership structure. As part of its restructuring plans, primarily during the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company closed several offices and identified offices with excess space that it intends to sublease to third parties. The Company recorded restructuring charges primarily comprised of lease obligations, costs to sublease excess space (offset by estimated future sublease income) and miscellaneous furniture and equipment writeoffs. These accruals will be relieved over the remaining terms of the underlying leases through March 2012.
Activity related to the Companys lease obligations and related costs included in restructuring accruals in 2005 is as follows:

Revenues. Facilities management revenue increased in the second quarter and first half of 2005 from comparable periods in the prior year, primarily as a result of an expansion of a client relationship in the second quarter of 2004 and the addition of several new customer relationships. Reimbursement of salaries, wages, benefits and out-of-pocket general and administrative costs, a component of facilities management revenue, increased $8.4 million and $13.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2004. 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.
31
Corporate advisory services revenue increased for the second quarter and first half of 2005 primarily driven by increased commission revenues as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase is in part the result of growth in the number of tenant representation brokers as part of the Companys focus on expanding its brokerage network. In addition, transaction volumes have increased, reflecting clients increased confidence in the economic recovery.
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 Companys services required under certain outsourcing contracts and transaction volumes). The slight decreases in property management revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were partially the result of decreased square footage under management in 2005 as compared to 2004. The reduction in square footage primarily resulted from sales of buildings in the Companys management portfolio to REITs or other investors that self-manage their properties or use other service providers. In addition, some square footage decreases resulted from clients taking services in-house or to other service providers. These decreases were partially offset by additions to square footage related to new business.
The increases in brokerage revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2005 from comparable periods in 2004 were driven by increases in investment sales commissions, and to a lesser extent, project leasing commissions. Real estate remains a favored asset class among investors as a result of improving leasing fundamentals and relatively low interest rates. As a result, investment sale activity and the resulting commission revenue have increased.
Construction management revenue increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004. 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 clients real estate demands. The increase in construction management revenue resulted from a higher volume of construction projects as tenant leasing activity increased, reflecting increased confidence in the economic recovery.
The increase in development and construction revenue in the second quarter and first half of 2005 primarily resulted from an increase in rental revenue due to acquisitions of operating real estate properties subsequent to the second quarter of 2004. In addition, development fees increased in the second quarter and first half of 2005 as compared to same periods in 2004. Typically, the impact of increases and decreases in the Companys development starts and investments is not reflected in financial results until later periods. The Company experienced an increase in development and construction revenue in 2005 as a consequence of development starts and investments trending up in 2004, with 2004 starts more than doubling those for 2003. These increases in development and construction revenue were partially offset by a decrease in development incentive fees, largely due to the timing of significant transactions in the second quarter and first half of 2004 as compared to the same periods in 2005.
Historically, the Company primarily focused its commercial real estate development business on office, industrial and retail projects for investor clients. Increasingly, however, the Company has focused on development for user clients, including corporations and those in the healthcare sector. By expanding its focus on development for user clients, particularly those in the healthcare sector, the Company seeks to mitigate the cyclicality traditionally inherent in the commercial development business. In addition, through High Street Residential, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company has expanded its focus to include development of mixed-use facilities with a residential component, including condominium development and transit-oriented development. The Company, mainly through certain of its discretionary development and investment funds, is also directing its efforts toward acquisitions, including those acquisitions where opportunities exist to add value through re-development or re-leasing.
The Companys gain on disposition of real estate decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2005 from comparable periods in 2004. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company sold one real estate
32
project with a net sales price of $1.5 million, resulting in a gain on disposition of $0.8 million, and recognized deferred gain of $0.2 million relating to previous period dispositions. In the second quarter of 2004, the Company sold three real estate projects for an aggregate net sales price of $15.1 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition of $3.8 million, and recognized deferred gain of $0.1 million relating to a previous period disposition. During the first half of 2005, the Company recognized total gain on disposition of real estate of $2.5 million. This gain was comprised of sales of two real estate projects with an aggregate net sales price of $2.3 million and a settlement related to the estimated cost to complete construction related to a previous period disposition. In addition, this gain included deferred gain recognition of $0.2 million relating to dispositions in prior periods. During the first half of 2004, the Company sold four real estate projects for an aggregate net sales price of $15.6 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition of $4.0 million, and recognized deferred gain of $0.3 million relating to a previous period disposition.
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 restricted stock grants to certain employees; and transaction-related incentive compensation other than brokerage commissions, primarily paid in connection with development and investment transactions. The increases in the second quarter and first half of 2005 from comparable periods in the prior year were primarily driven by growth in salaries, wages and benefits for reimbursed employees as the Company increased its facilities management and project management headcount to service client expansions and the addition of new clients.
The increase in commission expense during the second quarter and first half of 2005 was directly attributable to the increases in the Companys corporate advisory services and brokerage revenue discussed above.
General and administrative expenses increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, partially due to increased client-reimbursed out-of-pocket general and administrative expenses, largely driven by the growth in the Companys facilities management and project management service lines. In addition, the acquisition of several operating real estate properties subsequent to the second quarter of 2004 led to increased real estate operating expenses in 2005. These properties, which the Company plans to redevelop, lease and sell, include acquisitions made through the Companys fifth discretionary development and investment fund (Fund V).
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased for the second quarter and first half of 2005 from the second quarter and first half of 2004. The Company has replaced many of its computer assets at a lower cost than the assets that were retired, which has reduced the Companys depreciation expense. In addition, several intangible asset balances related to acquired management contracts became fully amortized in 2004, which created a decrease in amortization expense in the second quarter and first half of 2005 as compared to the same periods in 2004.
The increase in interest expense is primarily the result of higher borrowings outstanding under notes payable on real estate related to operating real estate properties in the second quarter and first half of 2005 as compared to the same periods in 2004. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company had higher average outstanding balances under its revolving line of credit as compared to the same periods in 2004, due to amounts drawn to fund the Companys acquisition of an additional ownership interest in Savills.
Minority Interest, Net of Income Taxes. Minority interest fluctuated from expense in the second quarter and first half of 2004 to income in the comparable periods in 2005. This change from expense to income primarily relates to losses incurred by Fund V during the 2005 periods, which are shared with
33
outside partners. Fund V has acquired several operating real estate properties since the second quarter of 2004 that have generated operating losses in the current period. The Company plans to redevelop, lease and sell these properties. In addition, a portion of the 2005 income amounts relates to the minority interest owners share of fees earned by the Company related to certain consolidated real estate projects.
Income from Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, Net of Income Taxes. In the ordinary course of business, a significant portion of the Companys 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 transactions carried out by the underlying unconsolidated subsidiaries. The overall increase in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004, primarily relates to the Companys purchase of additional shares of Savills in the second quarter of 2005, which increased the Companys ownership interest from approximately 10% to 19.6% of the outstanding stock of Savills. The decrease in income from investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in the first half of 2005 as compared to the first half of 2004 was primarily the result of significant income from an unconsolidated subsidiary that sold its building portfolio in the first quarter of 2004, in excess of such sales that occurred in 2005.
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes. Income from discontinued operations includes the operations of real estate properties and gain on disposition of real estate properties held for sale or sold subsequent to the adoption of FAS 144 effective January 1, 2002, that were considered components of an entity under FAS 144 and in which the Company has not retained or does not expect to retain significant continuing involvement. Dispositions of real estate assets have been and will continue to be a significant part of the Companys activities and, as a result of applying the provisions of FAS 144, the Company expects a greater amount of these activities to be classified as discontinued operations in future periods as fewer asset dispositions will qualify for grandfathered treatment under FAS 144. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company sold four real estate projects that were considered discontinued operations for an aggregate net sales price of $26.7 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition (before income taxes) of $1.9 million. There were no sales that were considered to be discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2004. In the first half of 2005, the Company sold five real estate projects that were considered discontinued operations for an aggregate net sales price of $28.5 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on disposition (before income taxes) of $2.0 million. During the first half of 2004, the Company sold one real estate project that was considered a discontinued operation for a net sales price of $11.3 million. This sale resulted in an aggregate gain on disposition of real estate (before income taxes) of $0.8 million, including interest forgiveness of $0.3 million.
Net Income. Net income increased due to the fluctuations in revenues and expenses described above, in addition to a decrease in the Companys effective tax rate. The decrease in the effective tax rate was driven by the increase in the Companys income from its investment in Savills, largely due to the Companys increased ownership in Savills. In addition, the higher level of ownership of Savills will enable the Company to take advantage of certain foreign tax credits. The Company has also experienced favorable results from state tax planning.
Quarterly Results of Operations and Seasonality
The results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. The Companys revenues and net income during the fourth fiscal quarter historically have been somewhat 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 towards the
34
latter part of the fiscal year as contractual targets are met and other factors may also cause quarterly fluctuations in the Companys results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys 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 Companys management information systems. The Company finances its operations with internally generated funds and borrowings under the Credit Facility (described below). The portion of the Companys 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 $67.4 million for the first six months of 2005, compared to $16.7 million for the same period in 2004. Cash used in operating activities, excluding the change in real estate and related borrowings, increased to $52.4 million for the first six months of 2005 as compared to $15.8 million for the same period of 2004. This increase in cash used is primarily due to greater incentive compensation and tax payments made during the first six months of 2005, on account of 2004 activity as compared to such payments made during the same period in 2004. In addition, cash used in real estate activities, net of related borrowings, was $15.0 million during the first half of 2005, compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2004 as a result of increased real estate investment activity in 2005.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $130.2 million for the first six months of 2005, compared to $7.0 million for the first six months of 2004. This change is primarily due to an increase in investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, net of distributions, to $86.3 million in the first half of 2005 as compared to distributions from unconsolidated subsidiaries, net of contributions, of $10.4 million in the same period of 2004. The increase in investments is attributable to the Companys purchase of additional shares of Savills in the first six months of 2005. The Company also purchased $17.8 million in marketable securities in the Companys wholly-owned captive insurance company in the first six months of 2005, as compared to no such purchases in 2004. In addition, expenditures made in the first six months of 2005 related to real estate classified as held for investment were $21.0 million during the first six months of 2005, as compared to $28.9 million during the first six months of 2004. These expenditures were offset by $0.04 million of proceeds from the dispositions of real estate projects classified as held for investment at the time of disposition in accordance with FAS 144, as compared to $14.9 million of such proceeds in 2004.
Net cash provided from financing activities totaled $80.1 million during the first six months of 2005 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3.4 million during the same period of 2004. The increase in cash provided in 2005 is primarily due to borrowings, net of principal debt payments, under the Companys line of credit of $75.4 million, and compared to principal debt payments, net of borrowings, of $11.4 million in the comparable 2004 period. The Company used the 2005 borrowings to fund its purchase of additional shares of Savills in 2005. In addition, the Company received proceeds from borrowings, net of payments, of $20.6 million on notes payable related to real estate held for investment as compared to net payments of $3.5 million in the same period of 2004. These increases in cash were offset by the Companys use of cash in 2005 to repurchase common stock, totaling $20.1 million. Also, the Company made distributions, net of contributions, to minority interest holders of $2.5 million in the first half of 2005, compared to $10.1 million of contributions received, net of distributions, in the first half of 2004.
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 Companys previous
35
$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 Companys 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 Companys 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 years net income before depreciation and amortization, plus for the year ending December 31, 2005 only, an amount equal to $20.0 million. 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.
The Companys 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 Companys floating rate indebtedness in excess of $30.0 million (other than construction loans under which interest is capitalized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States) 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 3-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, 2005, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $71.0 million under the Credit Facility and $4.5 million under the Swing Line. The covenants contained in the Credit Facility and the amount of the Companys 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 Companys unused borrowing capacity (taking into account letters of credit outstanding) under the Credit Facility was $88.6 million at June 30, 2005. Since many of the financial covenants in the Credit Facility are dependent on the Companys EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility agreement and calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis, a decline in the Companys overall operations could adversely impact the Companys ability to comply with these financial covenants and, in turn, the Companys borrowing capacity.
At June 30, 2005, 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 December 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement in order to limit its interest expense on a construction loan with a 30-day LIBOR-based floating interest rate related to a consolidated real estate project. The interest rate cap agreement has a notional amount of $5.1 million at June 30, 2005, and the Company will receive payments if the LIBOR-based interest rate exceeds 3.5%. The interest rate cap agreement has not been designated as an effective hedge, and therefore the interest rate cap agreement will be marked to market each period with the change in fair market value recognized in
36
current period earnings. The interest rate cap agreement expires on January 1, 2006. Through June 30, 2005, amounts recorded by the Company related to this interest rate cap agreement 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 Companys 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.
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 Companys real estate development business. The Company has not made any material payments under such arrangements in the six months ended June 30, 2005 or 2004. The Company has guaranteed a maximum of $5.1 million of such notes payable, all of which is outstanding at June 30, 2005. Payments required under these arrangements, if any, would generally result in an increase in the Companys investment in the underlying unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other matters which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other matters include, but are not limited to (i) the timing of individual transactions, (ii) the ability of the Company to identify, implement and maintain the benefit of cost reduction measures and achieve economies of scale, (iii) the ability of the Company to compete effectively in the international arena, (iv) the ability of the Company to retain its major clients and renew its contracts, (v) the ability of the Company to attract new user and investor clients, (vi) the ability of the Company to manage fluctuations in net earnings and cash flow which could result from the Companys participation as a principal in real estate investments, (vii) the Companys ability to continue to pursue its growth strategy, (viii) the Companys ability to pursue strategic acquisitions on favorable terms and manage challenges and issues commonly encountered as a result of those acquisitions, (ix) the Companys ability to compete in highly competitive national and local business lines, and (x) the Companys ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in all areas of its business (particularly senior management).

Given these uncertainties, readers
37
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such statements or publicly announce any updates or revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Companys expectation with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements. Reference is hereby made to the disclosures contained under the heading Risk Factors in Item 1. Business of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2005.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Companys 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 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources and in Notes 7 and 8 to the Companys 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 2005, the Company borrowed $75.5 million, net of payments, under the Credit Facility, primarily to fund the Companys acquisition of an additional ownership stake in Savills, which could further expose the Company to fluctuations in interest rates. 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 Companys 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 Europe, Asia and Australia. Due to the increase in the Companys ownership interest in Savills from approximately 10.0% to 19.6% in April 2005, the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates may become more significant to the Companys results of operations.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
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 Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Companys 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
38
The Company and one of its subsidiaries are defendants in a lawsuit styled Bank One Oklahoma, N.A., et al. (the Bank) v. Trammell Crow Services, Inc. and Trammell Crow Company, No. 03 C 3624, pending in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, originally filed on April 2, 2003. The claims asserted by the plaintiffs relate to a sale/leaseback transaction involving a property in Oklahoma City previously owned by the Bank. The suit alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment against the Company and/or its subsidiary and alleges that the plaintiffs have been damaged in an unspecified amount in excess of $15.0 million. The plaintiffs seek to recover actual damages, punitive damages and reasonable attorneys fees. The suit is in the process of discovery, and no trial date has been set. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the outcome of the suit cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the Company cannot at this time estimate an amount or range of potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome. While the Company cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of this matter, the Company currently believes the plaintiffs claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the lawsuit.
From time to time, the Company is involved in other 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 Companys results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
