                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  The accompanying pro forma financial statements give effect to the
following: (a) inclusion of the operations of Koll Real Estate Services, Inc.
("Koll"), for unaudited pro forma statement of operations purposes, for the
first eight months of the year to reflect the acquisition of Koll by CB
Commercial Real Estate Services Group, Inc. (the "Company") as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997, and (b) the purchase of the
Company's outstanding preferred stock which occurred in the first quarter of
1998, as if it had occurred on December 31, 1997 for unaudited pro forma
balance sheet purposes and as if it had occurred on January 1, 1997 for
unaudited pro forma statement of operations purposes. The historical financial
information of the Company was derived from the audited financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1997 included in the Company's 1997 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The historical financial information for Koll was derived
from Koll's unaudited, internally prepared financial statements for the eight-
month period ended August 31, 1997.
 
  The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and
upon certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. There can be
no assurance that the actual effects will not differ significantly from the
pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma financial statements. The pro
forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of future statement
of financial position, results of operations or results that might have been
achieved if the transactions had been consummated as of the dates indicated
above.

Notes:
 
(a) Represents reversal of Koll's historical amortization expense.
(b) Represents amortization expense for management agreements assuming a
    useful life of 10 years.
(c) Represents amortization expense for the Koll goodwill resulting from the
    transaction using a 30 year estimated useful life.
(d) Represents amortization expense for covenants not to compete.
(e) Represents amortization expense on Koll's investments to amortize the
    difference between the purchase price allocated to these investments and
    their underlying net book value.
(f) Represents the net tax effect of the Koll pro forma adjustments.
(g) Represents interest on the borrowings for the preferred stock buyback
    using a 8.0% interest rate.
(h) Represents tax benefit on pro forma entry at 40%.
(i) Weighted average shares include incremental shares issued in connection
    with the Koll transaction from the beginning of the year.
(j) Pro forma earnings per share ("EPS") gives effect to the purchase of all
    of the Company's preferred stock. Accordingly no reduction has been made
    to income available to common stockholders for the annual dividend on such
    preferred stock. In addition, pro forma EPS does not reflect the one-time
    reduction of EPS by approximately $1.70, in connection with such purchase,
    which amount represents the excess of the purchase price over the carrying
    value of the preferred stock.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAY 5, 1998
 
                  CB COMMERCIAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
 
                     30.6% REVENUE AND 23.9% EBITDA GAINS
 
  LOS ANGELES, CA, MAY 5, 1998--CB Commercial Real Estate Services Group, Inc.
(NYSE:CBG), the world's leading real estate services provider, today announced
first quarter consolidated revenue gains of 30.6% and 23.9% growth in earnings
before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). For
the quarter, adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 11.1% to $0.10 per
share.
 
  Jim Didion, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our strong
quarterly performance is a reflection of continued strong internal growth
combined with the full financial impact of the Koll acquisition in the first
quarter compared to last year." Didion continued, "The fundamentals of our
business--the strong and increasingly global economy, continued outsourcing of
corporate real estate service needs and the ongoing consolidation among real
estate services providers--create reason for continued optimism."
 
  Didion added, "We are very excited about our combination with REI, which has
made us the only global real estate services operation with a commonly owned
network, integrated management and consistent service capabilities across all
business lines and geographic locations. More than ever before, we are now
able to uniquely and creatively serve multinational client needs. Our
potential growth from new business as a result of this competitive positioning
and becoming the preferred service provider to these types of clients is
immense. From our perspective, we continue to see an increasing number of
clients, especially multinational companies, outsourcing more and more of
their non-core business activities, including their real estate operations,
strategic planning, and facilities management and transaction management
requirements. We are well poised to capitalize on those growth opportunities
and believe we will see the favorable results in our performance going
forward."
 
 Consolidated Results
 
  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, consolidated revenues increased 30.6%
to $175.1 million from $134.1 million in the 1997 first quarter. The 1998
results include the full contribution from Koll Real Estate Services ("Koll").
EBITDA increased 23.9% to $12.5 million compared with $10.1 million in 1997.
The company reported net income applicable to common shareholders (before the
adjustment for the effects of the deemed dividend associated with accounting
for the repurchase of its preferred stock) of $2.0 million, or $0.10 per
share, versus net income applicable to common shareholders of $1.3 million, or
$0.09 per share in the comparable year ago quarter. The net loss applicable to
common shareholders after the impact of the accounting treatment of the
preferred stock repurchase was $(30.3) million, or $(1.60) per share in the
first quarter, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.09 per share
during the 1997 first quarter.

CB Commercial News Release
May 5, 1998
Page 2
 
  The company noted that the deemed dividend of $32.3 million represented the
portion of the price of the January 1998 repurchase of all 4.0 million of its
existing convertible preferred shares in excess of carrying value. Those
shares were originally issued in conjunction with the company's acquisition by
management in 1989. Additionally, the company reported the final purchase
price for the equity of REI was approximately $103.0 million based on the
company's stock price and the exchange rate at closing. Additional one-time
charges of up to $5 million associated with the REI acquisition and
integration, and a possible write-down in the carrying value of two owned
buildings to fair market value are anticipated to impact next quarter's
results, according to Didion.
 
 Market Factors
 
  The U.S. economy remains strong and real estate markets across the country
have continued to perform well. In the office space sector, the national
vacancy rate dropped to 9.5% from 11.6% for the first quarter. Demand for
office space fueled the declining rate, with about 15 million square feet
absorbed during the quarter, according to Torto Wheaton Research, the
company's Boston-based real estate econometric analysis and forecasting firm.
The outlook for 1998 continues to be favorable, with strong economic activity
giving rise to space demand coupled with limited new supply.
 
 Segment Results
 
  Each business segment continued to realize strong revenue growth during the
quarter, and steady gains in EBITDA, with the exception of Corporate Services
due to its continuing infrastructure investments. The strong revenue growth
reflects the ongoing success of their respective growth strategies and the
numerous benefits each realizes from CB Commercial's vertical integration
strategy.
 
  Commented Didion, "Our brokerage business continues to generate strong deal
flow and cash flow. The brokerage operation, which serves as our core
business, provides a strong market position and competitive strength to our
other business groups." Didion said, "We continue to make considerable
advances towards our longer-term objectives and are very pleased with our
performance in each business area."
 
 Relative Gains
 
  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, CB Commercial produced revenue
increases of 12.9% in Brokerage Services, which grew to $93.0 million; 111.9%
in Corporate Services, which increased to $12.5 million; 106.8% in Management
Services, which advanced to $22.5 million; and 35.1% in Financial Services,
which reached $47.2 million.
 
 Brokerage Services (53.1% of revenues; grew 12.9%)
 
  The company's core business, Brokerage Services (commercial property sales
and leasing), contributed 53.1% to consolidated revenues for the quarter. The
company reported 12.9% higher brokerage revenues compared to the first quarter
of last year as lower vacancy rates in much of the U.S. continued to push
rents and sales prices higher. EBITDA advanced 8.3% for the quarter. EBITDA
margins narrowed slightly to 7.5% in the quarter from 7.8% in the comparable
year ago quarter.
 
  Said Brett White, President of Brokerage Services, "The first quarter was
strong for Brokerage Services as we continued to prosper from a healthy
commercial real estate market. Our presence in every major national market
positions us to receive a tremendous amount of the third party service
provider business. We continue to see our market share and market preeminence
solidify in virtually every major market around the country."

 Corporate Services (7.1% of revenues; grew 111.9%)
 
  This segment provides transaction management, advisory services, and
facilities management on a regional, national and international basis, and
constitutes a "one-stop" shop for major corporate and institutional clients.
Revenues increased 111.9% to account for 7.1% of total revenues. A top three
player in the facilities management part of this segment, CB Commercial now
manages approximately 80 million square feet and serves over 125 major
multinational and national corporate clients. EBITDA for the quarter declined
by $(0.8) million to a loss due to the investment made in infrastructure to
support new business expected to come on-line in part as a result of the REI
acquisition.
 
  Gary Beban, President of Corporate Services, said, "Our continued
investments position us to capitalize on the increasing opportunities in this
area. As the only service provider able to offer a consistent global
capability to corporate clients worldwide, we are already seeing a number of
opportunities to take this business worldwide--the CB Richard Ellis
combination has sustainable competitive advantages in serving the outsourcing
needs of major global corporations."
 
 Management Services (12.8% of revenues; grew 106.8%)
 
  Providing a comprehensive range of property management services, the company
manages more than 200 million square feet for hundreds of clients. Revenue
increased 106.8% to $22.5 million, versus $10.9 million in the previous first
quarter, to constitute 12.8% of total revenues. EBITDA for the quarter
advanced 158.3% to $2.0 million.
 
  According to Jana Turner, President of Management Services, "Results for
this segment are beginning to reflect the benefits of our integration of our
CB and Koll operations, with margins picking up as we start to realize some of
the benefits of consolidation."
 
 Financial Services (27.0% of revenues; grew 35.1%)
 
  A market leader in the delivery of financial services and products to Wall
Street, institutional, corporate and offshore investors, the company's
Financial Services group realized strong growth during the quarter across
nearly all service areas. Services include investment property acquisitions
and sales, mortgage banking through L.J. Melody & Company,
valuation/appraisal, asset management through Westmark Realty Advisors and
real estate market research. Key products include hard-asset funds, loan
funds, and mutual funds. Revenue from the Financial Services segment
contributed 27.0% to consolidated quarterly revenues and increased 35.1%
during the current quarter compared to the 1997 first quarter. EBITDA
increased 52.8% for the quarter versus last year's first quarter.
 
  Ray Wirta, President of Financial Services, stated, "Overall, our
performance in Financial Services was strong, reflecting the real estate
markets nationally and our expanding market presence."
