LASALLE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT DISTRIBUTORS, LLC  
Notes to Financial Statements  
December 31, 2022

## **(1) Organization**

LaSalle Investment Management Distributors, LLC (the Company or LIMD), a subsidiary of LaSalle Investment Management, Inc. (Parent Company and Member) was formed in the state of Delaware on March 10, 2011. The Company was formed to conduct transactions as a broker-dealer to provide investment management, asset management or similar services to the Parent Company or its affiliates. The Company is the Dealer Manager for the public and private offerings of JLL Income Property Trust, Inc. (JLLIPT), an affiliate of the Parent Company.

The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the FINRA), and various states. On December 20, 2011, the Company's FINRA membership was approved. The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R § 240.15c3-3. The Company is relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to: (1) acting as a wholesaler and/or placement agent with respect to public non-listed REITs and the private placement of securities, including Delaware Statutory Trusts and other like-kind exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Company (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers; (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

On March 3, 2015, JLLIPT began a private offering of up to $350,000,000 of Class D shares of common stock.

On December 22, 2021, the SEC declared JLLIPT's third follow-on Registration Statement (the 'Third Extended Public Offering') effective (Commission File No. 333-256823) to offer up to $3,000,000,00, in shares of which $2,700,000,000 of shares offered in the primary offering and up to $300,000,000 in shares offered pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan.

On October 16, 2019, JLLIPT initiated the Delaware Statutory Trust Program (DST Program), and on November 8, 2022, increased the private offering up to a total of $2,000,000.

Historically and for the foreseeable future, the Company is highly dependent on the Parent Company to fund any operating losses. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was obligated to the Parent and its affiliate organizations for certain loans/advance amounts recorded on the books and records of the Company totaling $235,654. The Parent will not require the repayment of these loans/advances that the Parent or its affiliates may provide to the Company during 2023, until subsequent to February 28, 2024 as evidenced in writing by the Parent Company.

## **(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

### **(a) Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# **(b) *Limitation on Withdrawal of Equity Capital***

It is FINRA's policy to give written notice to the FINRA two business days prior to any equity withdrawals that exceed $500,000 and, on a net basis, exceed 30% of the Company's excess net capital, in any 30-day period. The Company made no equity distributions in 2022.

# **(c) *Revenue Recognition***

Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, we identified revenue from contracts with customers, which includes sales commissions, dealer manager fees, placement fees, and reimbursable revenue. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. See Note 3, Revenue Recognition, for revenue recognition disclosures required by ASU 2014-09.

# **(d) *Employee Commissions Expense***

In connection with the marketing of investment programs, employees of the Parent Company who are registered representatives of the Company may receive compensation based on the third-party investment in the related investment program.

# **(e) *Foreign Exchange***

We utilize the U.S. dollar as our functional currency, except for our Canadian bank account, which use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. When preparing financial statements, assets and liabilities of foreign entities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, while income and expense items are translated at average rates for the period. Income statement amounts of significant transactions are translated at the rate in effect as of the date of the transactions. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

# **(3) Revenue Recognition**

Revenue earned during the year ended December 31, 2022 under the agreement with our client includes the following:

|  | Year ended December 31, 2022 |
| --- | --- |
| Commissions | $2,871,101 |
| Dealer manager fees | 13,215,774 |
| Private placement | 8,017,579 |
| Reimbursable revenue | 4,782,654 |
| Total revenue | $28,887,108 |

Sales commissions are based upon a percentage of third-party investment in the related investment program. The Company recognizes the upfront sales commissions for JLLIPT Class A, A-I and D common stock on a trade date basis when the services are performed and the amount the Company is entitled to is known. JLLIPT pays upfront selling commissions per the dealer agreement. LIMD's performance obligation is wholly satisfied on the date an investor purchases shares of JLLIPT common stock or beneficial interests in the DST Program. The upfront sales commissions on the DST Program are included in private placement in the Company's statement of operations and other comprehensive income.

# LASALLE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT DISTRIBUTORS, LLC  
Notes to Financial Statements  
December 31, 2022

LaSalle Investment Management Distributors, LLC serves as the dealer manager for the DST Program. JLLIPT's taxable REIT subsidiary, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, will pay the dealer manager upfront selling commissions, upfront dealer manager fees and private placement fees of up to 5.0%, 1.0% and 1.0%, respectively, of the gross purchase price per unit of beneficial interest sold in the DST Program. All upfront selling commissions and upfront dealer manager fees are reallocated to participating broker-dealers and are recognized in the same manner as the selling fees detailed above.

Dealer manager fees accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of the stated class-specific fee based on the net asset value for each outstanding share of common stock or operating partnership. The Company accounts for dealer manager fees which are satisfied at a point in time (trade date) but are paid over time as variable fees, as they are dependent upon net asset values of JLLIPT and investor activities in periods after the trade date. The Company receives an investor servicing fee of up to 0.25% of the initial equity investment in the DST Program. Due to this constraint, the Company recognizes dealer manager fees when the net asset values of JLLIPT is known. Consequently, dealer manager fees recognized in the current period primarily relate to performance obligations that were satisfied in prior periods. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the date the investor purchases shares of JLLIPT common stock or the beneficial interest in the DST. The transaction price is determined by the agreement between the Company and JLLIPT as disclosed in the JLLIPT prospectus. LIMD's performance obligation is satisfied on the date the investor purchases shares of JLLIPT common stock, operating partnership units, or the beneficial interest in the DST. The transaction price is determined by the agreement between the Company and JLLIPT as disclosed in the JLLIPT prospectus. The dealer manager fees are included in commission and dealer manager fees, and the investor servicing fees are included in private placement in the Company's statement of operations and other comprehensive income.

The Company incurs certain costs in connection with its performance obligation to distribution services which it receives reimbursement from JLLIPT based on the Dealer Manager Agreement. Such costs are included in selling, travel and entertainment, business licenses, legal, audit, promotional, and other expenses in the Company's statement of operations and other comprehensive income. The Company controls the services before they are transferred to JLLIPT and acts in the capacity of a principal. LIMD's performance obligation is wholly satisfied on the date the goods or services are exchanged. Reimbursement for these costs are generally paid monthly and is presented on a gross basis in reimbursable revenue in the Company's statement of operations and other comprehensive income.

#### **(4) Income Taxes**

The Company is a limited liability company which is treated for federal and state income tax purposes as a disregarded entity and is not subject to income taxes. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements contain no provision for income taxes. The Company had no uncertain tax positions which would require the Company to record a tax exposure liability as of December 31, 2022. The Company does not have a tax-sharing agreement with the Parent Company and no payments have been made between the Company and its Parent Company for tax reimbursements.

Except as provided in the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, a member shall not be personally liable for any debt, obligation, or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a member of a limited liability company.

## **(7) Transactions with Related Parties**

The Company and its Parent Company maintain an expense sharing agreement (the Agreement), whereby the Parent Company provides certain services at no cost to the Company. Services under the Agreement include certain compensation and occupancy costs, including lease of office space, the use of furnishings, as well as the information technology infrastructure, with the Parent Company and were approximately $12,673,991 during 2022.

The Company has and will continue to record expenses for which it is directly or indirectly liable, such as business license, employee commission expense, and professional fees, in its statement of operations and other comprehensive income. Expenses are incurred by LIMD but paid by the Parent to the independent third parties. LIMD recognizes such expenses across all expense types through the statement of operations and other comprehensive income and records a due to Parent liability until payment to the Parent is made. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Parent Company paid expenses for a total of $9,455,677. As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded due to related party of $235,654.

JLLIPT has engaged the Company as a dealer manager for the issuance and sale to the public for certain classes of JLLIPT common stock and interests in the DST Program. Pursuant to the arrangement, the Company will also manage relationships with participating broker-dealers and provide assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to marketing the JLLIPT offering.

The Company will earn selling commissions on Class A shares of up to 3.0% of the net asset value per Class A share on the date of purchase.

To the Member and Management

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying LaSalle Investment Management Distributors, LLC Exemption Report (the Exemption Report), in which (1) LaSalle Investment Management Distributors, LLC (the Company) did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 and (2) is filing the Exemption Report pursuant to footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to: acting as a wholesaler and/or placement agent with respect to public non-listed REITs and the private placement of securities, including Delaware Statutory Trusts and other like-kind exchanges pursuant to Section 1301 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) (together, the exemption provisions). We have also reviewed management's statements, included in the Exemption Report, in which the Company stated that it met the identified exemption provisions throughout the year ended December 31, 2022 without exception. The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, pursuant to footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5.
