Independent accountants' report





TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHARE OWNERS OF REI LIMITED:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of REI Limited and
subsidiaries as of 31 December 1997 and the related consolidated profits and
cash flows for the year ended 31 December 1997.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United Kingdom and the United States.  Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of REI Limited and subsidiaries as
of 31 December 1997 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the year ended 31 December 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United Kingdom.

       Notes to the financial statements


1      PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards in the United Kingdom.  A summary of the principal group
accounting policies, which have been applied consistently throughout the year,
is set out below.

These financial statements have been prepared for inclusion in the public
filings of CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. The results for the period to 31
March 1998 are unaudited. As permitted by the SEC, company only information in
respect of REI Limited is not included within these financial statements, and
footnote disclosures relating to the period ended 31 March 1998 are limited and
unaudited.

a)  Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed asset
investments.

b)  Basis of consolidation
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of REI
Limited and its subsidiary undertakings.  Where necessary the financial
statements of the subsidiary undertakings are adjusted to conform with the
group's accounting policies.  The results of subsidiary undertakings are
included from the date of acquisition.

c)  Associated undertakings
The group's share of profits less losses of associated undertakings is included
in the consolidated profit and loss account and the group's share of their net
assets is included in the consolidated balance sheet.

d)  Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the value of a business or company
acquired, as represented by the fair value of the consideration paid, and the
fair value of the separable tangible net assets acquired.  Goodwill arising on
consolidation is written off to reserves.

e)  Turnover
Turnover represents fees to clients excluding sales taxes.  Turnover is
recognised when the provision of services is completed or, where relevant, at
the point when a contract for the underlying property transaction, on which fees
are earned, becomes irrevocable.

f)  Deferred taxation
Deferred taxation is provided under the liability method on all timing
differences only to the extent that they are expected to reverse in the future
without being replaced.

g)  Pension costs
The group does not operate their own pension schemes but contribute to the
personal pension plans of certain employees at rates based upon current salary.
These annual contributions are charged against profits in the year in which they
arise.

1  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
h)  Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation, government grants
and provision for permanent diminution in value.

Depreciation is provided so as to write off the cost or valuation, less
estimated residual values, of all tangible fixed assets, over their expected
useful lives, principally using a reducing balance basis at the following annual
rates:

<TABLE>
<S>                                <C>             <C>
Leasehold improvements                   -         over the term of the lease
Fixtures and fittings                    -         10% - 20%
Computer and office equipment            -         10% - 33 1/3%
Motor vehicles                           -         15% - 33 1/3%
</TABLE>

i) Leased assets
Assets acquired by means of finance leases, which confer rights and obligations
similar to those attached to owned assets, are capitalised as tangible assets as
if they had been purchased outright.  Obligations under finance leases are
recorded as finance debt and the related finance charges are charged to the
profit and loss account and recorded as interest payable.

All other leases are treated as operating leases.  Their annual rentals are
charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease regardless of the timing of rentals under the lease.

j)  Valuation of investments
Investments are valued at cost less provision for permanent diminution in value.

k)  Foreign currency
The trading results of overseas subsidiaries are translated using the average
rates of exchange ruling during the financial year.  The balance sheets of
overseas subsidiaries are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date.

Exchange differences which arise from the translation of the opening net assets
of foreign subsidiary undertakings are taken to reserves.  All other exchange
differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates ruling when they
occur.  Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the
rates ruling at the balance sheet date.  Any differences are taken to the profit
and loss account.

l)  Changes in presentation of financial information
Financial Reporting Standard 1 "Cash flow statements" was revised in 1996 to
change the format for reporting cash flows.  The revised standard came into
effect for accounting periods ending on or after 23 March 1997.  Accordingly,
the group's cash flow statement has been presented under the new format.

2  TURNOVER
   All the group's turnover is derived from property consultancy
services.

The analysis of group turnover by geographical area is set out below:

15  CREDITORS: AMOUNTS FALLING DUE AFTER MORE THAN ONE YEAR (CONTINUED)

DEFERRED PURCHASE CONSIDERATION
On 1 January 1993, the group acquired the remaining 36% of the equity of Richard
Ellis Limited (a Hong Kong company).  The consideration comprised an initial
payment of HK$72,000 ((Pounds)6,138) representing the nominal value of the
shares acquired, and deferred consideration contingent upon the performance of
the Hong Kong business in subsequent years.  Owing to uncertainties, including
those in the Hong Kong property market, the directors consider that it is not,
at the present time, practicable to determine the ultimate consideration
payable.  An amount of HK$12.72m (approximately (Pounds)1m), representing an
estimate based on the future profitability of the Hong Kong business, has been
accounted for to date as the deferred consideration payable, which has been
included in creditors: amounts falling due after more than one year.  Further
adjustments to the goodwill account may therefore be required in future years to
amend the estimated consideration to the actual amounts paid.  The fair value of
the net assets acquired was (Pounds)317,911.

On 25 January 1996, Richard Ellis SA (a French company) merged with Achard et
Associes.  The transaction was completed by issuing Richard Ellis SA shares to
the shareholders of Achard et Associes.  The issue of the shares diluted REI
Investments Limited investment in Richard Ellis SA  to 66.7%.  At the same time
the group entered into an agreement to repurchase the 33.3% interest in Richard
Ellis SA between 2001 and 2003 at a price based inter-alia on profits generated
by the company in the period up to the date of repurchase.  The directors
consider that it is not at the present time practicable to determine the
ultimate consideration payable for the purchase of the Achard et Associes
business.  An amount of FF15m (approximately (Pounds)1.5m) representing an
estimate based on the future profitability of the French business has been
accounted for as the deferred consideration payable and is included in
creditors: amounts falling due after more than one year. Further adjustments to
the goodwill account may therefore be required in future years to amend the
estimated consideration to the actual amounts paid.

after taking into account any related double tax relief.

The company has established share options schemes under which certain eligible
employees are granted options to subscribe for ordinary shares.  At 31 December
1997 the following options were outstanding:

 .  62,000 at 215p, exercisable from 18 October 1991 to 17 October 1998.

 .  268,500 at 231p, exercisable from 1 May 1996 to 30 April 1998.

In May 1997 shareholders approved the adoption of an employee share incentive
plan under which up to 1.5 million ordinary 1p shares with restricted vesting
rights would be allotted to employees at par value to motivate and encourage
them to hold shares in the company.  Awards under the scheme were to be
determined by reference to certain office performance criteria including
financial results for 1997.  Since the year end 1,405,029 shares made available
to the scheme have been awarded.

22   POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
In December 1997, it was announced that the Board had reached agreement with CB
Commercial Real Estate Services Group Inc. ("CB") on the terms of the merger
whereby CB would acquire the entire share capital of REI Limited.  Since the
year end shareholders holding more than 95% of the fully diluted share capital
of REI Limited gave irrevocable undertakings to sell their shares to CB and the
transaction was completed during April 1998.  In May 1998, CB changed its name
to CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc.

Pursuant to an agreement dated 1 January 1993, between REI Limited and Holding
Selman Beheer BV, the partnership of Richard Ellis VOF terminated on 31 December
1997.  With effect from 1 January 1998, Amell Holdings BV acquired the entire
issued share capital of Selman BV, previously the 36.01% partner in Richard
Ellis VOF.  Under the terms of the agreement consideration payable was
calculated based on the following:

i)   The net asset value of Selman BV; and

ii)  A goodwill amount, calculated as 25% of pre tax profits of Richard Ellis
     VOF for five years.  This amounts to NLG 4.68m (approximately (Pounds)1.4m)

These amounts together with interest of NLG 328,000 (approximately
(Pounds)98,000) thereon became due and payable 1 January 1998.

Selman BV is a company in which GJ Selman (who served as a director of REI
Limited during the year) has an interest.

ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFO
          (CONTINUED).

     (b)  CB Richard Ellis Services. Inc. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial
          Statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the quarter
          ended March 31, 1998.

                        CB RICHARD ELLIS SERVICES, INC.
               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying pro forma financial statements give effect to the following:
(a) for the unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997, inclusion of the operations of REI Limited ("REI") for the
full year ended December 31, 1997 and Koll Real Estate Services, Inc. ("Koll"),
for the period from January 1, 1997 through August 28, 1997 (b) inclusion of the
operations of REI for unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 and (c) inclusion of REI's balance sheet as of
March 31, 1998 in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet.  The
acquisition of REI by CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. ("CB REI") is reflected as
if it had occurred on January 1, 1997, and March 31, 1998 for purposes of the
unaudited pro forma statements of operations and unaudited pro forma balance
sheet, respectively.  The Koll acquisition has been reflected in the unaudited
pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 as if it
had occurred on January 1, 1997.

The historical financial information of CB REI was derived from (i) the audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 included in the
Company's 1997 Form 10-K; and (ii) the unaudited financial statements for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the first
quarter 1998.  The historical financial information for REI was derived from (i)
the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 and; (ii)
the unaudited internally prepared financial statements for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998, both included herein.  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.  The
acquisitions have been accounted for by the Company as purchases.  The
adjustments included in the pro forma financial statements represent the effects
of the Company's preliminary determination and allocation of the purchase price
to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, based upon currently
available information.  There can be no assurance that the 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 either future results of operations or results that might have
been achieved if the transactions had been consummated as of the dates
indicated.

 NOTES:
 
(a)   All UK currency balances have been converted to the US dollar at an
      assumed average conversion rate of $1.675 (calculated based on 5 days
      before and 5 days after closing date which is April 17, 1998) to the
      pound.
(b)   REI's historical effective tax rate was 87%. The high effective rate is
      caused by REI's corporate expenses incurred in the U.K. which were not
      deductible in jurisdictions where the company operates. CB intends to
      lower the effective tax rate through the use of tax planning strategies,
      however, the ultimate success of such strategies cannot be known at this
      time. Accordingly, no adjustment has been reflected in the pro forma
      financial statements to include any tax savings.
(c)   Represents amortization expense on goodwill resulting from the REI
      transaction using a 30 year life
(d)   Represents interest on the borrowings for the transaction using a 7%
      interest rate
(e)   Reflects the tax benefit at an estimated 40% on all goodwill amortization
      related to the acquisitions. The Company may not be able to receive the
      full tax benefit on 100% of the goodwill
(f)   Pro forma EPS gives effect to the purchase of all of CB's preferred stock.
      Accordingly no reduction has been made to income available to commons
      stockholders for the annual dividend on such preferred stock. In addition,
      pro forma EPS does not reflect the one time reduction of EPS by $1.62 per
      share that will be recorded associated with such purchase representing the
      excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the preferred
      stock.
(g)   Weighted average shares include incremental shares assumed to be issued in
      connection with the transaction

(b)       Represents reversal of Koll's historical amortization expense
(c)       Represents amortization expense for management agreements assuming a

(d)       Represents amortization expense for the Koll goodwill resulting from
          the transaction using a 30 year estimated useful life.
(e)       Represents amortization expense for covenants not to compete
(f)       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.
(g)       Reflects the tax benefit at an estimated 40% on all goodwill
          amortization related to the acquisitions. The Company may not be able
          to receive the full tax benefit on 100% of the goodwill
(h)       All UK currency balances have been converted to the US dollar at an
          assumed average conversion rate of $1.676 (calculated based on 5 days
          before and 5 days after closing date which is April 17, 1998) to the
          pound.
(i)       REI's historical effective tax rate was 87%. The high effective rate
          is caused by REI's corporate expenses incurred in the U.K. which were

(j)       Represents amortization expense on goodwill resulting from the REI 
          transaction using a 30 year life
(k)       Represents interest on the borrowings for the acquisition or REI and
          the purchase of Company's preferred stock using an 7% interest rate
(l)       To eliminate the minority interest expense attributable to the
          Amsterdam operation.
(m)       Pro forma EPS gives effect to the purchase of all of CB's preferred
          stock. Accordingly no reduction has been made to income available to
          commons stockholders for the annual dividend on such preferred stock.
          In addition, pro forma EPS does not reflect the one time reduction of
          EPS by $1.62 per share that will be recorded associated with such
          purchase representing the excess of the purchase price over the
          carrying value of the preferred stock.
(n)       Weighted average shares include incremental shares assumed to be 
          issued in connection with the transaction and the effect of the Koll
          shares from the beginning of the year.
