Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the audited financial statements of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (“Jones Lang LaSalle”, which may also be referred to as the “Company” or as “the firm,” “we,” “us” or “our”) for the year ended December 31, 2004, which are included in Jones Lang LaSalle’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and also available on our website (www.joneslanglasalle.com), since we have omitted from this report certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements. You should also refer to the “Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section within Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained herein, for further discussion of our accounting policies and estimates.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Information

Our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for these interim periods have been included.

Historically, our revenue, operating income and net earnings in the first three calendar quarters are substantially lower than in the fourth quarter. Other than for the Investment Management segment, this seasonality is due to a calendar-year-end focus on the completion of real estate transactions, which is consistent with the real estate industry generally. The Investment Management segment earns performance fees on clients’ returns on their real estate investments. Such performance fees are generally earned when assets are sold, the timing of which is geared towards the benefit of our clients. Non-variable operating expenses, which are treated as expenses when they are incurred during the year, are relatively constant on a quarterly basis. As such, the results for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are not indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Beginning in the fourth quarter 2004, we reclassified ”equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures” from “total revenue” to a separate line on the consolidated statements of operations after ”operating income”. This change has the effect of reducing the amounts of ”total revenue” and ”operating income” originally reported, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, by the amount of equity earnings. However, for segment reporting purposes, we continue to reflect ”equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures” within ”total revenue”. See Note 2 for ”equity earnings (losses)” reflected within revenues for the Americas, Europe and Investment Management segments, as well as the discussion of how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (as defined in Note 2) measures segment results with “equity earnings (losses)” included in segment revenues.

The following table lists total revenue and operating income as originally reported in the quarterly report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, and lists the reclassification as discussed above, as well as the reclassified amounts ($ in thousands):

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30 , 2004			June 30 , 2004

Total revenue, as originally reported	$	270,910		$	493,696
Reclassification: Equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures		(6,916	)		(9,039	)
Total revenue, as reclassified		263,994			484,657

Operating income, as originally reported		22,240			17,602
Operating income, as reclassified	$	15,324		$	8,563

Principles of Consolidation

Our financial statements include the accounts of Jones Lang LaSalle and its majority-owned-and-controlled subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated ventures over which we exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for by the equity method. Under this method we maintain an investment account, which is increased by contributions made and our share of net income of the unconsolidated ventures, and decreased by distributions received and our share of net losses of the unconsolidated ventures. Our share of each unconsolidated venture’s net income or loss, including gains and losses from capital transactions, is reflected in our statements of operations as "equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures." Investments in unconsolidated ventures over which we are not able to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method. Under the cost method our investment account is increased by contributions made and decreased by distributions representing return of capital.

Table of Contents

Investments in Real Estate Ventures

FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46-R”)

AICPA Statement of Position 78-9, “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” (“SOP 78-9”)

Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” (“APB 18”)

EITF Topic No. D-46, “Accounting for Limited Partnership Investments” (“EITF D-46”)

The application of FIN 46-R, SOP 78-9, APB 18 and EITF D-46 generally results in accounting for these interests under the equity method in the accompanying consolidated financial statements due to the nature of our non-controlling ownership.

Additionally, in June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified 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”). We are applying the provisions of EITF 04-5 to limited partnerships or similar entities newly formed or modified after June 29, 2005 in which we hold a general partner or equivalent interest. EITF 04-5 will be effective beginning January 1, 2006 for all other limited partnerships or similar entities in which we hold a general partner or equivalent interest.

We apply the provisions of APB 18, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5-M, “Other Than Temporary Impairment Of Certain Investments In Debt And Equity Securities” (“SAB 59”), and SFAS 144 when evaluating investments in real estate ventures for impairment, including impairment evaluations of the individual assets underlying our investments.

We review investments in real estate ventures on a quarterly basis for an indication of whether the carrying value of the real estate assets underlying our investments in ventures may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the underlying assets. When an “other than temporary” impairment has been identified related to a real estate asset underlying one of our investments in ventures, a discounted cash flow approach is used to determine the fair value of the asset in computing the amount of the impairment. We then record the portion of the impairment loss related to our investment in the reporting period.

Revenue Recognition

The SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), as amended by SAB 104, provides guidance on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to selected revenue recognition issues. Additionally, EITF Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”), provides guidance on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions with multiple deliverables.

In “Item 1. Business” of our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we describe the services that we provide. We recognize revenue from these services as advisory and management fees, transaction commissions and project and development management fees. We recognize advisory and management fees related to property management services, valuation services, corporate property services, strategic consulting and money management as income in the period in which we perform the related services. We recognize transaction commissions related to agency leasing services, capital markets services and tenant representation services as income when we provide the related service unless future contingencies exist. If future contingencies exist, we defer recognition of this revenue until the respective contingencies have been satisfied. Project and development management fees are recognized applying the “percentage of completion” method of accounting. We use the efforts expended method to determine the extent of progress towards completion.

Certain contractual arrangements for services provide for the delivery of multiple services. We evaluate revenue recognition for each service to be rendered under these arrangements using criteria set forth in EITF 00-21. For services that meet the separability criteria, revenue is recognized separately. For services that do not meet those criteria, revenue is recognized on a combined basis.

Reimbursable expenses

We follow the guidance of EITF 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred,” when accounting for reimbursements received. Accordingly, we have recorded these reimbursements as revenues in the income statement, as opposed to being shown as a reduction of expenses.

In certain of our businesses, primarily those involving management services, we are reimbursed by our clients for expenses incurred on their behalf. The accounting for reimbursable expenses for financial reporting purposes is based upon the fee structure of the underlying contracts. We follow the guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” (“EITF 99-19”), when accounting for reimbursable personnel and other costs. A contract that provides a fixed fee billing, fully inclusive of all personnel or other recoverable expenses that we incur, and not separately scheduled as such, is reported on a gross basis. When accounting on a gross basis, our reported revenues include the full billing to our client and our reported expenses include all costs associated with the client.

Table of Contents

We account for the contract on a net basis when the fee structure is comprised of at least two distinct elements, namely:

•

A fixed management fee, and

•

A separate component which allows for scheduled reimbursable personnel or other expenses to be billed directly to the client.

When accounting on a net basis, we include the fixed management fee in reported revenues and offset the reimbursement against expenses. We base this accounting on the following factors which define us as an agent rather than a principal:

(i)

The property owner, with ultimate approval rights relating to the employment and compensation of onsite personnel, and bearing all of the economic costs of such personnel, is determined to be the primary obligor in the arrangement;

(ii)

Reimbursement to Jones Lang LaSalle is generally completed simultaneously with payment of payroll or soon thereafter;

(iii)

Because the property owner is contractually obligated to fund all operating costs of the property from existing cash flow or direct funding to its building operating account, Jones Lang LaSalle bears little or no credit risk under the terms of the management contract; and

(iv)

Jones Lang LaSalle generally earns no margin in the reimbursement aspect of the arrangement, obtaining reimbursement only for actual costs incurred.

Most of our service contracts are accounted for on a net basis. We have always presented the above reimbursable contract costs on a net basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such costs aggregated approximately $112.6 million and $101.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Such costs aggregated approximately $225.1 million and $206.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This treatment has no impact on operating income, net income or cash flows.

Stock-based Compensation

The Jones Lang LaSalle Amended and Restated Stock Award and Incentive Plan (“SAIP”) provides for the granting of options to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock and for other stock awards to eligible employees of Jones Lang LaSalle. Additionally, we award restricted stock units of our common stock to certain employees and members of our Board of Directors under the SAIP, and have plans under which eligible employees have the opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a 15% discount.

We account for our stock option and stock compensation plans under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). These provisions allow entities to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," (“APB 25”), and provide disclosure of pro forma net income and net income per share as if the fair value-based method, defined in SFAS 123 as amended, had been applied. We have elected to apply the provisions of APB 25 in accounting for stock options and other stock awards, and accordingly, recognize no compensation expense for stock options granted at the market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

We have recognized other stock awards (including various grants of restricted stock units and offerings of discounted stock purchases under employee stock purchase plans), which we granted at prices below the market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as compensation expense over the vesting period of those awards pursuant to APB 25.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we calculated basic earnings per common share using basic weighted average shares outstanding of 31.0 million and 30.4 million shares, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we calculated diluted earnings per common share using diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 33.5 million and 32.7 million shares, respectively. Common stock equivalents consist primarily of shares to be issued under employee stock compensation programs and outstanding stock options whose exercise price was less than the average market price of our stock during these periods. In addition, we did not include in the weighted average shares outstanding the 3,323,700 or 1,506,600 shares that had been repurchased as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and which are held by one of our subsidiaries. See Part II, Item 2 for additional information on share repurchases.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we calculated comprehensive income (loss) as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2005			Three Months Ended June 30, 2004			Six Months Ended June 30, 2005			Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

Net income (loss)	$	24,751			5,067			16,169			(1,019	)

Comprehensive income (loss)	$	5,123			(1,248	)		(12,578	)		372

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We apply FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as amended by FASB Statement No. 138, "Accounting For Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", when accounting for derivatives and hedging activities.

As a firm, we do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, in the normal course of business we do use derivative financial instruments in the form of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage specific elements of foreign currency risk. At June 30, 2005, we had forward exchange contracts in effect with a gross notional value of $292.6 million ($252.5 million on a net basis) and a market and carrying loss of $0.6 million.

We require that hedging derivative instruments be effective in reducing the exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Any derivative instrument used for risk management that does not meet the hedging criteria is marked-to-market each period with changes in unrealized gains or losses recognized currently in earnings.

Table of Contents

We hedge any foreign currency exchange risk resulting from intercompany loans through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. SFAS 133 requires that unrealized gains and losses on these derivatives be recognized currently in earnings. The gain or loss on the re-measurement of the foreign currency transactions being hedged is also recognized in earnings. The net impact on our earnings of the unrealized gain on foreign currency contracts, offset by the loss resulting from remeasurement of foreign currency transactions, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was not significant.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of our subsidiaries located outside the United States, except those subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date with the resulting translation adjustments included in our balance sheet as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)) and in our disclosure of comprehensive income (loss) above. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net earnings. For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the associated gains and losses from balance sheet translation adjustments are included in net earnings.

The effects of foreign currency translation on cash balances are reflected in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

New Accounting Standards

Accounting for “Share-Based” Compensation

SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” ("SFAS 123-R"), a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (“SFAS 123”), was issued in December 2004. SFAS 123-R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and its related implementation guidance. Due to actions by the SEC, SFAS 123-R is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for Jones Lang LaSalle).

SFAS 123-R eliminates the alternative to use APB 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued. Under APB 25, issuing stock options to employees generally has resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. However, SFAS 123-R will require us to recognize expense for the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. That cost will be recognized over the employee’s requisite service period.

Employee share purchase plans (“ESPPs”) result in recognition of compensation cost if defined as “compensatory,” which under SFAS 123-R includes (1) plans that contain a “look-back” feature, or (2) plans that contain a purchase price discount larger than five percent, which SFAS 123-R views as the per-share amount of issuance costs that would have been incurred to raise a significant amount of capital by a public offering.

SFAS 123-R applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. The cumulative effect of initially applying SFAS 123-R also will be recognized as of the required effective date. Management has not yet determined the impact that the application of SFAS 123-R will have on our financial reporting.

Accounting for General Partner Interests in a Limited Partnership

In June 2005, the FASB ratified 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”). EITF 04-5 presumes that a general partner controls a limited partnership, and therefore should consolidate the limited partnership in its financial statements. To overcome the presumption of control, and thereby account for a general partner investment in a limited partnership on the equity method, EITF 04-5 requires the general partner to grant certain rights to the limited partners. EITF 04-5 applies to limited partnerships created or amended after June 29, 2005, and to all other limited partnerships effective January 1, 2006. EITF 04-5 also applies to entities similar to limited partnerships, such as limited liability companies with governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership.

Consolidation of existing limited partnerships (or similar entities) in which we have a general partner (or similar) interest would result in a material increase in the amount of assets and liabilities reported in our balance sheet. However, management is considering whether it will amend partnership agreements affected by EITF 04-5 to grant limited partner rights sufficient to overcome the EITF 04-5 control presumption, and thereby retain equity method accounting for those interests.

(2) Business Segments

We manage and report our operations as four business segments:

(i)

Investment Management, which offers money management services on a global basis, and

The three geographic regions of Investor and Occupier Services ("IOS"):

(ii)

Americas,

(iii)

Europe and

(iv)

Asia Pacific.

Table of Contents

The Investment Management segment provides money management services to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. Each geographic region offers our full range of Investor Services, Capital Markets and Occupier Services. The IOS business consists primarily of tenant representation and agency leasing, capital markets and valuation services (collectively "implementation services") and property management, facilities management services, and project and development management services (collectively "management services").

Total revenue by industry segment includes revenue derived from services provided to other segments. Operating income represents total revenue less direct and indirect allocable expenses. We allocate all expenses, other than interest and income taxes, as nearly all expenses incurred benefit one or more of the segments. Allocated expenses primarily consist of corporate global overhead, including certain globally managed stock programs. These corporate global overhead expenses are allocated to the business segments based on the relative revenue of each segment.

Our measure of segment operating results excludes non-recurring and restructuring charges (credits). See Note 3 for a detailed discussion of these non-recurring and restructuring charges (credits). We have determined that it is not meaningful to investors to allocate these non-recurring and restructuring charges (credits) to our segments. Also, for segment reporting we continue to show equity earnings from unconsolidated ventures within our revenue line, especially since it is an integral part of our Investment Management segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker of Jones Lang LaSalle measures the segment results without non-recurring and restructuring charges (credits), but with equity earnings from unconsolidated ventures included in segment revenues. We define the Chief Operating Decision Maker collectively as our Global Executive Committee, which is comprised of our Global Chief Executive Officer, Global Chief Operating and Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officers of each of our reporting segments.

We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform with the current presentation. These reclassifications are discussed in Note 1.

(3) Non-Recurring and Restructuring Charges (Credits)

For the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded a credit of $0.2 million to non-recurring compensation and benefits expense. The credit relates to provisions for severance under the 2002 restructuring program. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded credits of $1.8 million to non-recurring expense. The credits were comprised of the $0.2 million for compensation and benefits recorded in the second quarter, and $1.6 million for operating, administrative and other costs in the first quarter related to the abandonment of the property management software system described below. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded credits of $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to non-recurring expense. This activity consists of the following elements ($ in millions):

Non-recurring & Restructuring Charges (Credits)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2005			Three Months Ended June 30, 2004			Six Months Ended June 30, 2005			Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

Land Investment and Development Group

As part of our broad-based business restructuring in the second half of 2001, we disposed of our Americas Development Group, although we retained an interest in certain investments the group had originated. In the second quarter of 2004, we liquidated the final Development Group investment and recorded a gain of $1.3 million to non-recurring expense.

Abandonment of Property Management Software System

In the second quarter of 2003, we concluded that the potential benefits from successfully correcting deficiencies of a property management software system that was in the process of being implemented in Australia were not justified by the costs that would have to be incurred to do so. As a result of this decision, we recorded a charge of $5.1 million to non-recurring expense in 2003. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, to non-recurring expense for legal expenses associated with the settlement process. We implemented a transition plan to an existing alternative system and have used this system from July 1, 2003.

Non-recurring and restructuring expense for the year ended 2004 included a credit of $4.3 million for cash received as part of the settlement of litigation related to the abandonment of the property management software system. The first quarter of 2005 included a credit of $1.6 million for additional cash received related to this settlement. Two additional installments totaling AUS$1.8 million ($1.4 million at June 30, 2005 exchange rates) are to be received through December 2005. Each of these future installments will be recorded as a credit to non-recurring expense when the cash is received. In connection with the agreement, each of the parties has released the other from further liabilities with respect to the underlying dispute and has agreed to certain other terms typical for a settlement of this kind.

Business Restructuring

Business restructuring charges include severance and professional fees associated with the realignment of our business. The “2002 Restructuring Program” in the table above refers to a four percent reduction in workforce in December 2002 to meet expected global economic conditions. As such, we recorded $12.7 million in non-recurring compensation and benefits expense related to severance and certain professional fees, and $0.6 million in non-recurring operating, administrative and other expense in 2002, primarily related to the lease cost of excess space. The $12.7 million originally estimated, which had been adjusted down to $10.4 million through March 31, 2005, was adjusted down to $10.2 million as of June 30, 2005. This total of $10.2 million had been paid at June 30, 2005.

In general, the actual costs incurred related to business restructurings have varied from our original estimates for a variety of reasons, including the identification of additional facts and circumstances, the complexity of international labor law, developments in the underlying business resulting in the unforeseen reallocation of resources and better or worse than expected settlement discussions. As a result of the above, we recorded a net credit of $0.2 million back to non-recurring compensation and benefits in the second quarter of 2005, as well as a net credit of $0.2 million back to non-recurring compensation and benefits in the first quarter of 2004. The credit taken in the second quarter of 2005 concludes the use of reserves related to the 2002 Restructuring Program.

(4) Investments in Real Estate Ventures

We invest in certain real estate ventures that own and operate commercial real estate. Typically, these are co-investments in funds that our Investment Management business establishes in the ordinary course of business for its clients. These investments include non-controlling ownership interests generally ranging from less than 1% to 47.85% of the respective ventures. We generally are entitled to operating distributions in accordance with our respective ownership interests. Our exposure to liabilities and losses of these ventures is limited to our existing capital contributions and remaining capital commitments. In the normal course of business, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries may enter into forward purchase commitments on behalf of certain ventures; however, financial exposure to such commitments is fully assigned to the respective real estate venture.

For real estate limited partnerships in which the Company is a general partner, we apply the guidance set forth in FIN 46-R and SOP 78-9, and will apply the guidance in EITF 04-5, in evaluating the control the Company has over the limited partnership. These entities are generally well-capitalized and grant the limited partners important rights, such as the right to replace the general partner without cause, approve the sale or refinancing of the principal partnership assets, or approve the acquisition of principal partnership assets. Such general partner interests have been accounted for under the equity method through June 30, 2005.

For real estate limited partnerships in which the Company is a limited partner, the Company is a co-investment partner and does not have a controlling interest in the limited partnership. When we have an asset advisory contract with the real estate limited partnership, the combination of our limited partner interest and the advisory agreement provides us with significant influence over the real estate limited partnership venture. Accordingly, we account for such investments under the equity method. When the Company does not have an asset advisory contract with the limited partnership, rather only a limited partner interest without significant influence, and our interest in the partnership is considered “minor” under EITF D-46 (i.e., not more than 3 to 5 percent), we account for such investments under the cost method.

As of June 30, 2005, we have total investments and loans of $78.8 million in approximately 25 separate property or fund co-investments. Within this $78.8 million, loans of $3.9 million to real estate ventures bear interest rates ranging from 7.25% to 8.0% and are to be repaid by 2008. With respect to certain co-investment indebtedness, in the event that the underlying co-investment loans default, we also have repayment guarantees to third-party financial institutions of $0.7 million outstanding at June 30, 2005.

Following is a table summarizing our investments in real estate ventures ($ in millions):

Type of Interest	Percent Ownership of Real Estate Limited Partnership Venture			Accounting Method		Carrying Value

General partner		0% to 1	%		Equity	$	0.3
Limited partner with advisory agreements		<1% to 47.85	%		Equity		77.8
Equity method						$	78.1
Limited partner without advisory agreements		<1% to 5	%		Cost		0.7
Total						$	78.8

• LaSalle Investment Company - LaSalle Investment Company ("LIC"), formerly referred to as LaSalle Investment Limited Partnership, is a series of four parallel limited partnerships, which serve as our investment vehicle for substantially all new co-investments. LIC invests in certain real estate ventures that own and operate commercial real estate. LIC generally invests via limited partnerships and intends to own 20% or less of the respective ventures. Our capital commitment to LIC is euro 150 million. Through June 30, 2005, we funded euro 50.9 million to LIC. Therefore, as of June 30, 2005, we have a remaining unfunded commitment of euro 99.1 million ($120.0 million).

We have an effective 47.85% ownership interest in LIC; primarily institutional investors hold the remaining 52.15% interest in LIC. In addition, a non-executive Director of Jones Lang LaSalle is an investor in LIC on equivalent terms to other investors. Our investment in LIC is accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2005, LIC has unfunded capital commitments to underlying real estate ventures of $153.0 million, of which our 47.85% share is $73.2 million, for future fundings of co-investments. LIC’s exposure to liabilities and losses of the ventures is limited to its existing capital contributions and remaining capital commitments. We expect that LIC will draw down on our commitment over the next three to five years. Additionally, our Board of Directors has endorsed the use of our co-investment capital in particular situations to control or bridge finance existing real estate assets or portfolios to seed future investment products. The purpose of this is to accelerate capital raising and growth in assets under management. Approvals for such activity are handled consistently with those of the firm’s co-investment capital.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we funded a net $9.9 million related to co-investment activity. We expect to continue to pursue co-investment opportunities with our real estate money management clients in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. Co-investment remains very important to the continued growth of Investment Management. The net co-investment funding for 2005 is anticipated to be between $20 and $25 million (planned co-investment less return of capital from liquidated co-investments).

As of June 30, 2005, LIC maintains a euro 75 million ($90.8 million) revolving credit facility (the "LIC Facility") principally for its working capital needs. The LIC Facility contains a credit rating trigger (related to the credit rating of one of LIC’s investors who is unaffiliated with Jones Lang LaSalle) and a material adverse condition clause. If either the credit rating trigger or the material adverse condition clause becomes triggered, the LIC Facility would be in default and would need to be repaid. This would require us to fund our pro-rata share of the then outstanding balance on the LIC Facility, which is the limit of our liability. The maximum exposure to Jones Lang LaSalle, assuming that the LIC Facility were fully drawn, would be euro 35.9 million ($43.5 million). This exposure is included within and will never be more than our remaining unfunded commitment to LIC of euro 99.1 million ($120.0 million) discussed above. As of June 30, 2005, LIC had euro 1.5 million ($1.8 million) of outstanding borrowings on the LIC Facility.

• Impairment - For the three and six months ended June 30, 3005, we have recorded net impairment charges in “equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures” of $0.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, representing our equity share of the impairment charge against individual assets held by these ventures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded such charges to equity earnings of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

(5) Accounting for Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We have $346.4 million of unamortized intangibles and goodwill as of June 30, 2005 that are subject to the provisions of SFAS 142. A significant portion of these unamortized intangibles and goodwill are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, which means that a portion of the movements in the reported book value of these balances are attributable to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The tables below set forth further details on the foreign exchange impact on intangible and goodwill balances. Of the $346.4 million of unamortized intangibles and goodwill, $339.3 million represents goodwill with indefinite useful lives, which we ceased amortizing beginning January 1, 2002. The remaining $7.1 million of identifiable intangibles (principally representing management contracts acquired) are amortized over their remaining definite useful lives.

“Acquisitions” detailed in the table below relate to the acquisition of ThompsonCalhounFair Hotel Brokerage, a hotel real estate broker and advisory firm, completed June 3, 2005. The acquisition extends the Americas’ service delivery capabilities to clients operating in the select service hotel sector. The purchase price was determined to be $4.5 million, plus or minus adjustments for current assets less current liabilities accrued at the closing date. Additionally, a contingent payment of 24.5 percent of net operating income generated by the hotel real estate broker and advisory business for the year after the close of the acquisition will be paid next year. Acquired existing contract relationships valued at $1.1 million and goodwill of $3.4 million were recorded in conjunction with the transaction.

(6) Retirement Plans

We maintain contributory defined benefit pension plans in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Holland to provide retirement benefits to eligible employees. It is our policy to fund the minimum annual contributions required by applicable regulations. We use a December 31 measurement date for our plans.

Net periodic pension cost consisted of the following for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 ($ in thousands):

	2005			2004

Employer service cost - benefits earned during the year	$	1,645			1,399

Net amortization/deferrals		196			17
Recognized actual loss		90			—
Net periodic pension cost	$	1,260			600

In the six months ended June 30, 2005, we have made $1.8 million in payments to our defined benefit pension plans. We expect to contribute a total of $4.0 million to our defined benefit pension plans in 2005. We made $3.9 million of contributions to these plans in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, $1.6 million of which had been contributed by June 30, 2004.

(7) Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2005, Jones Lang LaSalle and certain of our subsidiaries had $0.7 million of co-investment indebtedness guarantees outstanding to third-party lenders. We apply FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"), to recognize and measure the provisions of guarantees. The $0.7 million represents the maximum future payments that Jones Lang LaSalle could be required to make under such guarantees. These guarantees relate to collateralized borrowings by project-level entities, and certain of the guarantees have terms extending out until 2007. Repayment could be requested by the third-party lenders in the event that one of the project level entities fails to repay its borrowing. We do not expect to incur any material losses under these guarantees.

Jones Lang LaSalle and certain of our subsidiaries guarantee our $325 million revolving credit facility more particularly described below in Item 2 under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” In addition, we guarantee the local overdraft facilities of certain subsidiaries. Third-party lenders request these guarantees to ensure payment by the Company in the event that one of our subsidiaries fails to repay its borrowing on an overdraft facility. The guarantees typically have one-year or two-year maturities. The guarantees of the revolving credit facility and local overdraft facilities do not meet the recognition provisions, but do meet the disclosure requirements of FIN 45. We have local overdraft facilities totaling $36.0 million, of which $10.5 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2005. We have provided guarantees of $27.1 million related to the local overdraft facilities, as well as guarantees related to the $325 million revolving credit facility, which in total represent the maximum future payments that Jones Lang LaSalle could be required to make under the guarantees provided for subsidiaries’ third-party debt.

We are a defendant in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount. Many of these litigation matters are covered by insurance (including insurance provided through a captive insurance company), although they may nevertheless be subject to large deductibles or retentions and the amounts being claimed may exceed the available insurance. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined, based upon information currently available, we believe the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On November 8, 2002, Bank One N.A. ("Bank One") filed suit against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois with regard to services provided in 1999 and 2000 pursuant to three different agreements relating to facility management, project development and broker services. The suit alleged negligence, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty on the part of Jones Lang LaSalle and sought to recover a total of $40 million in compensatory damages and $80 million in punitive damages. On December 16, 2002, the Company filed a counterclaim for breach of contract seeking payment of approximately $1.2 million for fees due for services provided under the agreements. On December 16, 2003, the court granted the Company’s motion to strike the complaint because after completion of significant discovery, Bank One had been unable to substantiate its allegations that it suffered damages of $40 million as it had previously claimed. Bank One was authorized to file an amended complaint that seeks to recover compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, plus an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The amended complaint also includes allegations of fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment and conversion. In November 2004, in response to the Company’s motion for Summary Judgment, the court dismissed six of the ten counts remaining under Bank One’s complaint. Remaining are the counts for breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment. As a result, the amount of any damages that Bank One could recover if successful has been greatly reduced. The Company continues to aggressively defend the suit and pursue its claim. While there can be no assurance, the Company continues to believe that the complaint is without merit and, as such, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The court has currently set July 12, 2006 as the revised trial date. Although we still have not seen or heard anything that leads us to believe that the suit has merit, the outcome of Bank One’s suit cannot be predicted with any certainty and management is unable to estimate an amount or range of potential loss that could result if an improbable unfavorable outcome did occur.

See the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in Part II, Item 5. Other Information.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis is presented in six sections, as follows:

(1) An executive summary, including how we create value for our stakeholders,

(2) A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates,

(3) Certain items affecting the comparability of results and certain market and other risks that we face,

(4) The Results of our Operations, first on a consolidated basis and then for each of our business segments,

(6) Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Executive Summary

Business Objectives and Strategies

We define our stakeholders as:

•	The clients we serve,

•	The people we employ, and

•	The shareholders who invest in our Company.

We create value for these stakeholders by enabling and motivating our employees to apply their expertise to deliver services that our clients acknowledge as adding value to their real estate and business operations. We believe that this ability to add value is demonstrated by our clients’ repeat or expanded service requests and by the strategic alliances we have formed with them.

The services we provide require "on the ground" expertise in local real estate markets. Such expertise is the product of research into market conditions and trends, expertise in buildings and locations, and expertise in competitive conditions. This real estate expertise is at the heart of the history and strength of the Jones Lang LaSalle brand. One of our key differentiating factors, as a result, is our global reach and service imprint in local markets around the world.

We enhance our local market expertise with a global team of research professionals, with the best practice processes we have developed and delivered repeatedly for our clients, and with the technology investments that support these best practices.

Our principal asset is the talent and the expertise of our people. We seek to support our service-based culture through a compensation system that rewards superior client service performance, not just transaction activity, and that includes a meaningful long-term compensation component. We invest in training and believe in optimizing our talent base through internal advancement. We believe that our people deliver our services with the experience and expertise to maintain a balance of strong profit margins for the firm and competitive value-added pricing for our clients, while achieving competitive compensation levels.

Because we are a services business, we are not capital intensive. As a result, our profits also produce strong cash returns. Over the last three years, we have used this cash strategically to:

•	Significantly pay down our debt, resulting in significantly reduced interest expense;

•	Purchase shares under our share repurchase programs;

•	Invest for growth in important markets throughout the world; and

•	Co-invest in LaSalle Investment Management sponsored and managed funds.

We believe value is enhanced by investing appropriately in growth opportunities, maintaining our market position in developed markets and keeping our balance sheet strong.

The services we deliver are managed as business strategies to enhance the synergies and expertise of our people. The principal businesses in which we are involved are:

•	Local Market Services,

•	Occupier Services,

•	Capital Markets, and

•	Money Management.

Table of Contents

The market knowledge we develop in our services and capital markets businesses helps us identify investment opportunities and capital sources for our money management clients. Consistent with our fiduciary responsibilities, the investments we make or structure on behalf of our money management clients help us identify new business opportunities for our services and capital markets businesses.

Businesses

Local Market Services

The services we offer to real estate investors in local markets around the world range from client-critical best practice process services - such as property management - to sophisticated and complex transactional services - such as leasing - that maximize real estate values. The skill set required to succeed in this environment includes financial knowledge coupled with the delivery of market and property operating organizations, ongoing technology investment, and strong cash controls as the business is a fiduciary for client funds. The revenue streams associated with process services have annuity characteristics and tend to be less impacted by underlying economic conditions. The revenue stream associated with the sophisticated and complex transactional services is generally transaction-specific and conditioned upon the successful completion of the transaction. We compete in this area with traditional real estate and property firms. We differentiate ourselves on the basis of qualities such as our local presence aligned with our global platform, our research capability, our technology platform, and our ability to innovate by way of new products and services.

Occupier Services

Our occupier services product offerings have leveraged our local market real estate services into best practice operations and process capabilities that we offer to corporate clients. The value added for these clients is the transformation of their real estate assets into an integral part of their core business strategies, delivered at more effective cost. The Firm’s client relationship focus drives our business success, as delivery of one product successfully sells the next and subsequent services. The skill set required to succeed in this environment includes financial and project management, and for some products, more technical skills such as engineering. We compete in this area with traditional real estate and property firms.

We differentiate ourselves on the basis of qualities that include our integrated global platform, our research capability, our technology platform, and our ability to innovate through best practice products and services. Our strong strategic focus also provides a highly effective point of differentiation from our competitors. We have seen the demand for coordinated multi-national occupier services by global corporations increase, and we expect this trend to continue as these businesses refocus on core competencies. Consequently, we are focused on continuing to enhance our ability to deliver our services across all geographies globally in a seamless and coordinated fashion that best leverages our expertise for our clients’ benefit.

Capital Markets

Our capital markets product offerings include institutional property sales and acquisitions, real estate financings, private equity placements, portfolio advisory activities, and corporate finance advice and execution. The skill set required to succeed in this environment includes knowledge of real estate value and financial knowledge coupled with delivery of local market expertise as well as connections across geographic borders. Our investment banking services require client relationship skills and consulting capabilities as we act as our client’s trusted advisor. The level of demand for these services is impacted by general economic conditions. Our fee structure is generally transaction-specific and conditioned upon the successful completion of the transaction. We compete with consulting and investment banking firms for corporate finance and capital markets transactions. We differentiate ourselves on the basis of qualities such as our global platform, research capability, technology platform, and ability to innovate as demonstrated through the creation of new products and services.

Because of the success we have had with our capital markets business, particularly in Europe and also with our global Hotels business, and because we expect the trans-border flow of real estate investments to remain strong, we are focused on enhancing our ability to provide capital markets services in an increasingly global fashion. This success leverages our regional market knowledge for clients who seek to benefit from a truly global capital markets platform.

Money Management

LaSalle Investment Management provides money management services for large institutions, both in specialized funds and separate account vehicles, as well as for managers of institutional and, increasingly, retail, real estate funds. Investing money on behalf of clients requires not just asset selection, but also asset value activities that enhance the asset’s performance. The skill set required to succeed in this environment includes knowledge of real estate values — opportunity identification (research), individual asset selection (acquisitions), asset value creation (portfolio management), investor relations and realization of value through disposition. Our competitors in this area tend to be investment banks, fund managers and other financial services firms. They commonly lack the "on-the-ground" real estate expertise that our global market presence provides.

We are compensated for our services through a combination of recurring advisory fees that are asset-based, together with incentive fees based on underlying investment return to our clients, which are generally recognized when agreed upon events or milestones are reached, and equity earnings realized at the exit of individual investments within funds. We have been successful in transitioning the mix of our fees for this business to generating more in the “annuity revenue” category of advisory fees. We also have increasingly been seeking to form alliances with distributors of real estate investment funds to retail clients where we provide the real estate investment expertise, and as a result of such efforts, we have been successful in attracting over $1.0 billion to these funds, which exist in all three global regions. Additionally, our strengthened balance sheet and continued cash generation position us for expansion in co-investment activity, which we believe will accelerate our growth in assets under management.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

An understanding of our accounting policies is necessary for a complete analysis of our results, financial position, liquidity and trends. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates that impact the stated amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounting estimates are based on management’s judgment and are considered to be critical because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may differ from current judgments, or that the use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates. We review these estimates on a periodic basis to ensure reasonableness. However, the amounts we may ultimately realize could differ from such estimated amounts.

Principles of Consolidation and Investments in Real Estate Ventures

For real estate limited partnerships in which the Company is a limited partner, the Company is a co-investment partner, and based on applying the guidance set forth in FIN 46-R and SOP 78-9, has concluded that it does not have a controlling interest in the limited partnership. When we have an asset advisory contract with the real estate limited partnership, the combination of our limited partner interest and the advisory agreement provides us with significant influence over the real estate limited partnership venture. Accordingly, we account for such investments under the equity method. When the Company does not have an asset advisory contract with the limited partnership, rather only a limited partner interest without significant influence, and our interest in the partnership is considered “minor” under EITF D-46 (i.e., not more than 3 to 5 percent), we account for such investments under the cost method.

For investments in unconsolidated ventures accounted for under the equity method, we maintain an investment account, which is increased by contributions made and our share of net income of the unconsolidated ventures, and decreased by distributions received and our share of net losses of the unconsolidated ventures. Our share of each unconsolidated venture’s net income or loss, including gains and losses from capital transactions, is reflected in our statements of operations as "equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures." For investments in unconsolidated ventures accounted for under the cost method, our investment account is increased by contributions made and decreased by distributions representing return of capital.

Revenue Recognition

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), as amended by SAB 104, provides guidance on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to selected revenue recognition issues. Additionally, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”), provides guidance on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions with multiple deliverables.

Reimbursable expenses - We follow the guidance of EITF Issue No. 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred” (“EITF 01-14”). Accordingly, we have recorded these reimbursements as revenues in the income statement, as opposed to being shown as a reduction of expenses.

Table of Contents

We account for the contract on a net basis when the fee structure is comprised of at least two distinct elements, namely:

•

A fixed management fee, and

•

A separate component which allows for scheduled reimbursable personnel or other expenses to be billed directly to the client.

When accounting on a net basis, we include the fixed management fee in reported revenues and offset the reimbursement against expenses. We base this characterization on the following factors which define us as an agent rather than a principal:

(i)

(ii)

Reimbursement to Jones Lang LaSalle is generally completed simultaneously with payment of payroll or soon thereafter;

(iii)

(iv)

Jones Lang LaSalle generally earns no margin in the reimbursement aspect of the arrangement, obtaining reimbursement only for actual costs incurred.

Asset Impairments

Within our balances of property and equipment used in our business, we have computer equipment and software; leasehold improvements; furniture, fixtures and equipment; and automobiles. The largest assets on our balance sheet are goodwill and other intangibles resulting from a series of acquisitions and one substantial merger. We also invest in certain real estate ventures that own and operate commercial real estate. Typically, these are co-investments in funds that our Investment Management business establishes in the ordinary course of business for its clients. These investments include non-controlling ownership interests generally ranging from less than 1% to 47.85% of the respective ventures. We generally account for these interests under the equity method of accounting in the accompanying consolidated financial statements due to the nature of our non-controlling ownership.

• Property and Equipment - We apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), to recognize and measure impairment of property and equipment owned or under capital lease. We review property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of an asset group, we record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We did not recognize an impairment loss related to property and equipment in either the first six months of 2005 or 2004.

• Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - We apply SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), when accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead evaluated for impairment at least annually. To accomplish this annual evaluation, we determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of evaluation. Under SFAS 142, we define reporting units as Investment Management, Americas IOS, Australia IOS, Asia IOS, and by country groupings in Europe IOS. We then determine the fair value of each reporting unit on the basis of a discounted cash flow methodology and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying value. The result of the 2004 evaluation was that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, and therefore we did not recognize an impairment loss.

• Investments in Real Estate Ventures - We apply the provisions of APB 18, S.E.C. Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5-M, “Other Than Temporary Impairment Of Certain Investments In Debt And Equity Securities” (“SAB 59”), and SFAS 144 when evaluating investments in real estate ventures for impairment, including impairment evaluations of the individual assets underlying our investments.

We have recorded impairment charges in equity earnings of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, and $0.3 million of such charges in the second quarter of 2005. These charges represent our equity share of the impairment charge against individual assets held by these ventures. There were $0.2 million of such charges to equity earnings in the first quarter of 2004, and no such charges in the second quarter of 2004.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled or realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We provide for taxes in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate based on local tax regulations and rules. Such taxes are provided on net earnings and include the provision of taxes on substantively all differences between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and tax accounting, excluding certain non-deductible items and permanent differences, and including provisions for current and deferred income tax expense.

Our global effective tax rate is sensitive to the complexity of our operations as well as to changes in the mix of our geographic profitability, as local statutory tax rates vary significantly in the countries in which we operate. We evaluate our estimated effective tax rate on a quarterly basis to reflect forecasted changes in these factors, changes in valuation reserves established against deferred tax assets related to losses in jurisdictions where we cannot recognize the tax benefit of those losses, and initiated tax planning activities.

Based on our forecasted results for the full year, we have estimated an effective tax rate of 25.4% for 2005. We believe that this is an achievable rate due to the mix of our income and the impact of tax planning activities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we used an effective tax rate of 28%; we ultimately achieved an effective tax rate of 25.4% for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Based on our historical experience and future business plans, including analysis of the foreign earnings repatriation provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, we do not expect to repatriate our foreign source earnings to the United States. As a result, we have not provided deferred taxes on such earnings or the difference between tax rates in the United States and the various foreign jurisdictions where such amounts were earned. Further, there are various limitations on our ability to utilize foreign tax credits on such earnings when repatriated. As such, we may incur taxes in the United States upon repatriation without credits for foreign taxes paid on such earnings.

Interim Period Accounting for Incentive Compensation

An important part of our overall compensation package is incentive compensation, which is typically paid out to employees in the first quarter of the year after it is earned. In our interim financial statements we accrue for most incentive compensation based on the percentage of revenue and compensation costs recorded to date relative to forecasted revenue and compensation costs for the full year, as substantially all incentive compensation pools are based upon full year revenues and profits. As noted in “Interim Information” of Note 1 to the notes to the consolidated financial statements, revenues and profits for the first three quarters of the year are typically substantially less than the fourth quarter of the year. The impact of this incentive compensation accrual methodology is that we accrue smaller percentages of incentive compensation in the first three quarters of the year, compared to the percentage of our incentive compensation accrued in the fourth quarter. We adjust the incentive compensation accrual in those unusual cases where earned incentive compensation has been paid to employees. Incentive compensation pools that are not subject to the normal performance criteria are excluded from the standard accrual methodology and accrued for on a straight-line basis.

Certain employees receive a portion of their incentive compensation in the form of restricted stock units of our common stock. We recognize this compensation over the vesting period of these restricted stock units, which has the effect of deferring a portion of incentive compensation to later years. We account for the earned portion of this compensation program on a quarterly basis, recognizing the benefit of the stock ownership program in a manner consistent with the accrual of the underlying incentive compensation expense.

Given that individual incentive compensation awards are not finalized until after year-end, we must estimate the portion of the overall incentive compensation pool that will qualify for this program. This estimation factors in the performance of the Company and individual business units, together with the target bonuses for qualified individuals. Then, when we determine, announce and pay incentive compensation in the first quarter of the year following that to which the incentive compensation relates, we true-up the estimated stock ownership program deferral and related amortization.

The table below sets forth the deferral estimated at year end, and the adjustment made in the first quarter of the following year to true-up the deferral and related amortization ($ in millions):

	December 31, 2004			December 31, 2003
