EXPLANATORY NOTE

      This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/ A for AMB Property Corporation for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 is being filed to amend and restate the items described below contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for such period originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2004. As part of management’s on-going review of our accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting, management determined that we should have depreciated certain of our investments in buildings that reside on land subject to ground leases over the remaining terms of the ground leases, rather than over 40 years, which is the period used to depreciate buildings that we hold in fee simple. We did not segregate these assets into a separate expected useful life category for depreciation purposes. This error resulted in our failure to reflect additional depreciation expense in our previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 filed on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 filed on Forms 10-Q for the quarters then ended.

      This Amendment No. 1 amends Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements; Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures, for the following purposes:

  •  To amend Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements to restate our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as more fully described in Note 2 to our restated unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Amendment No. 1.
 
  •  To amend Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, to take into account the effects of the restatement; and
 
  •  To amend Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures, to reflect the matters discussed above.

      Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 12b-15, this Amendment No. 1 sets forth the complete text of each item of Form 10-Q listed above as amended, and includes as Exhibits 31 and 32 new certifications by our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of our original Form 10-Q on August 6, 2004, or modify or update the disclosures presented in the original Form 10-Q filed on August 6, 2004, except to reflect the restatement as described above. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with our filings made subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-Q on August 6, 2004, including any amendments to those filings. Additional disclosure regarding the restatement is included in Note 2 to the restated unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/ A.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2004
(Unaudited)
 
1. Organization and Formation of the Company

      AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of its initial public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Company, through its controlling interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of primarily industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries.

      As of June 30, 2004, the Company owned an approximate 94.6% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 5.4% limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. Certain properties are owned through limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities. The ownership of such properties through such entities does not materially affect the Company’s overall ownership interests in the properties. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred unit distributions based on the respective partners’ ownership interests.

      Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide the Company with an additional source of capital and income. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had investments in six co-investment joint ventures, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

      AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AMB Capital Partners”), provides real estate investment services to clients and co-investment joint venture clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that include development projects available for sale to third parties and incremental income programs. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, also conducts a variety of businesses that include development projects available for sale to third parties. AMB Capital Partners, Headlands Realty Corporation and IMD Holding Corporation are wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and the Company.

      As of June 30, 2004, the Company owned 994 operating industrial buildings and four retail and other properties, aggregating approximately 91.7 million rentable square feet, located in 35 markets throughout North America and in France, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands. The Company’s strategy is to become a leading provider of distribution properties in supply-constrained submarkets located near key international passenger and cargo airports, highway systems and seaports in major metropolitan areas of North America, Europe and Asia. These submarkets are generally tied to global trade. As of June 30, 2004, the Company’s industrial buildings, principally warehouse distribution buildings, encompassed approximately 91.3 million rentable square feet and were 93.6% leased. As of June 30, 2004, the Company’s retail centers, principally grocer-anchored community shopping centers, and other properties encompassed approximately 0.4 million rentable square feet and were 85.2% leased.

      As of June 30, 2004, through AMB Capital Partners, the Company also managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial, retail and other properties, totaling approximately 0.5 million rentable square feet. In addition, the Company had investments in industrial operating properties, totaling approximately

7.8 million rentable square feet, through unconsolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2004, the Company also had investments in industrial development projects throughout North America and in Singapore, Spain and Japan, totaling approximately 6.7 million square feet. Some of the development projects in the U.S. were available for sale.

 
2. Interim Financial Statements

      The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.

      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of future results. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Restatement. On October 12, 2004, the Company announced a restatement of depreciation expense for its prior period results relating to 39 buildings in its portfolio, 38 of which are located on-tarmac, which is land owned by federal, state or local airport authorities. As part of management’s on-going review of its accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting, management determined that it should have depreciated certain of its investments in buildings that reside on land subject to ground leases over the remaining terms of the ground leases, rather than over 40 years, which is the period used to depreciate buildings that the Company holds in fee simple. The Company did not segregate these assets into a separate expected useful life category for depreciation purposes. In connection with correcting this error, the Company has taken appropriate action to modify its system of internal control over financial reporting to remediate this internal control deficiency. Going forward, these assets will be depreciated over the lesser of 40 years or the contractual term of the underlying ground lease. To reflect additional depreciation expense, management has restated the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2004. The effect of the restatement of depreciation expense is reflected in the restated unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q/ A, which includes a reduction in diluted earnings per share by $0.02 from $0.22 to $0.20, a reduction of net income available to common stockholders from $18.4 million to $17.1 million and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense from $38.9 million to $40.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the effect of the restatement of depreciation expense resulted in a reduction in diluted earnings per share by $0.03 from $0.41 to $0.38, a reduction of net income available to common stockholders from $34.5 million to $31.9 million and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense from $76.5 million to $79.4 million.

      Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. The Company also regularly reviews the impact of above or below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs for all new acquisitions, and records an intangible asset or liability accordingly. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings. The Company believes that there are no impairments of the carrying values of its investments in real estate as of June 30, 2004.

      Reclassifications. Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.

      Comprehensive Income. The Company reports comprehensive income in its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income was $19.0 million (restated) and $17.1 million (restated) for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Comprehensive income was $34.6 million (restated) and $75.4 million (restated) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

      Stock-based Compensation Expense. In 2002, the Company adopted the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company values stock options using the

Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes this value as an expense over the vesting periods. Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is applied to all options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption. Under SFAS No. 123, related stock option expense was $1.0 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock and recognizes this value as an expense over the vesting periods. Related restricted stock compensation expense was $1.9 million and $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Prior to 2002, the Company followed the intrinsic method set forth in APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

      Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards prior to 2002 consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net income available to common stockholders would have been (dollars in thousands):

      New Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. FIN 46R requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements apply to entities existing in the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004. The Company adopted the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R in the first quarter of 2004 and determined that none of its consolidated or unconsolidated joint ventures are variable interest entities under the provisions of FIN 46R.

All of the secured debt bears interest at fixed rates, except for eight loans with an aggregate principal amount of

$95.7 million as of June 30, 2004, which bear interest at variable rates (weighted average interest rate of 3.1% as of June 30, 2004). The secured debt has various covenants. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had 57 non-recourse, secured loans, which are cross-collateralized by 104 properties, totaling $1.1 billion (not including unamortized debt premiums).

      As of June 30, 2004, the Operating Partnership had issued an aggregate of $1.0 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.5% and had an average term of 5.2 years. These unsecured senior debt securities include $100.0 million in notes, which are putable and callable in September 2005, $400.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnership’s 2000 medium-term note program, and $225.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnership’s 2002 medium-term note program. As of June 30, 2004, the Operating Partnership’s 2002 medium-term note program had a remaining capacity of $175.0 million. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to issue medium-term notes, guaranteed by the Company, under its 2002 program from time to time and as market conditions permit. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants as of June 30, 2004.

      On March 16, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes under its 2002 program. The Company guaranteed the principal amount and interest on the notes, which mature on March 1, 2009, and bear interest at 3.5% per annum.

      On June 1, 2004, the Operating Partnership completed the early renewal of its senior unsecured revolving line of credit in the amount of $500.0 million. The Company remains a guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The three-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million can be drawn in Yen, Euros or British Pounds Sterling. The line, which matures in June 2007 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions, and replaces the Operating Partnership’s previous $500.0 million credit facility that was to mature in December 2005. The line is priced at 60 basis points over the applicable LIBOR index, with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points, based on the current credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt. The Operating Partnership uses its unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. The total amount available under the credit facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement governing the credit facility, generally the value of the Company’s unencumbered properties. As of June 30, 2004, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $405.5 million and the remaining amount available was $78.0 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $16.5 million (excluding the additional $200.0 million of potential additional capacity). The outstanding balance included borrowings denominated in Euros and Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2004, would equal approximately $81.2 million and $94.3 million in U.S. dollars, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had an additional outstanding balance of $23.0 million on other credit facilities. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants at June 30, 2004.

      On June 29, 2004, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement providing for loans or letters of credit in a maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of up to 24 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2004, equals approximately $221.0 million U.S. dollars. The Company and the Operating Partnership guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the revolving credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the Operating Partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest, and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the revolving credit agreement. Generally, borrowers under the revolving credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the revolving credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets.

The revolving credit facility matures in June 2007 and has a one-year extension option, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings will generally be TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the current credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt and is currently 60 basis points. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt, and is currently 20 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the facility. The revolving credit facility contains customary and other affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan. As of June 30, 2004, there was no outstanding balance on this credit facility.

      As of June 30, 2004, the scheduled maturities of the Company’s total debt, excluding unamortized debt premiums, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

7. Minority Interests in Consolidated Joint Ventures and Preferred Units

      Minority interests in the Company represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, limited partnership interests in AMB Property II, L.P. and interests held by certain third parties in several real estate joint ventures, aggregating approximately 40.4 million square feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments are consolidated because the Company owns a majority interest or exercises significant control over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. These joint venture investments do not meet the variable interest entity criteria under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

      Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. The Company’s co-investment joint ventures are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management and, in some cases, the renovation, expansion and development of industrial buildings in target markets nationwide.

operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, investment activity and changes in financing. The Company has an option, beginning January 1, 2007 and expiring December 31, 2009, to purchase the remaining equity interest based on the fair market value as stipulated in the operating agreement.

 
9. Stockholders’ Equity

      Holders of common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership and class B common limited partnership units of AMB Property II, L.P. have the right, commencing generally on or after the first anniversary of the holder becoming a limited partner of the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., as applicable (or such other date agreed to by the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P. and the applicable unit holders), to require the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., as applicable, to redeem part or all of their common units or class B common limited partnership units, as applicable, for cash (based upon the fair market value, as defined in the applicable partnership agreement, of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company at the time of redemption) or the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P. may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limits on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the Company’s charter), elect to have the Company exchange those common units or class B common limited partnership units, as applicable, for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of certain rights, certain extraordinary distributions and similar events. With each redemption or exchange of the Operating Partnership’s common units, the Company’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. Common limited partners and class B common limited partners may exercise this redemption right from time to time, in whole or in part, subject to the limitations that limited partners may not exercise this right if such exercise would result in any person actually or constructively owning shares of common stock in excess of the ownership limit or any other amount specified by the board of directors of the Company, assuming common stock was issued in the exchange. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Operating Partnership redeemed 13,332 of its common limited partnership units for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock.

      During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company repurchased and retired 787,800 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $20.6 million, including commissions. In December 2003, the Company’s board of directors approved a new two-year common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $200.0 million worth of common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company did not repurchase any of its common stock.

      During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company issued and sold 2,000,000 shares of 6.5% Series L Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share. Dividends are cumulative from the date of issuance and payable quarterly in arrears at a rate per share equal to $1.625 per annum. The Series L Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company on or after June 23, 2008, subject to certain conditions, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, if any, to the redemption date. The Company contributed the net proceeds of $48.4 million to the Operating Partnership, and in exchange, the Operating Partnership issued to the Company 2,000,000 6.5% Series L Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The Operating Partnership used the proceeds, in addition to proceeds previously contributed to the Operating Partnership from other equity issuances, to redeem its 8.5% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units from the Company on July 28, 2003. The Company, in turn, used those proceeds to redeem its 8.5% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share, and the Company also paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date.

      The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock for issuance, of which the following series were designated as of June 30, 2004: 1,595,337 shares of series D preferred; 220,440 shares of series E

10. Income Per Share

      The Company’s only dilutive securities outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were stock options and restricted stock granted under its stock incentive plans. The effect on income per share was to increase weighted average shares outstanding. Such dilution was computed using the treasury stock method.

11. Segment Information

      The Company mainly operates industrial properties and manages its business by markets. Industrial properties represent more than 99.5% of the Company’s portfolio by rentable square feet and consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple customers, and are typically comprised of multiple buildings that are leased to customers engaged in various types of businesses. The Company’s geographic markets for industrial properties are managed separately because each market requires different

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

operating, pricing and leasing strategies. The remaining 0.5% of the Company’s portfolio is comprised of retail and other properties located in Southeast Florida, Atlanta and Boston. The Company does not separately manage its retail operations by market. Retail properties are generally leased to one or more anchor customers, such as grocery and drug stores, and various retail businesses. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating income of the combined properties in each segment.

      The industrial domestic target markets category includes Austin, Baltimore/ Washington D.C., Boston and Minneapolis. The industrial domestic non-target markets category captures all of the Company’s other U.S. markets, except for those markets listed individually in the table. The international target markets category includes France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands. Summary information for the reportable segments is as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1)  Property net operating income (“NOI”) is defined as rental revenue, including reimbursements, less property operating expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. For a reconciliation of NOI to net income, see the table below.

      The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because NOI reflects the operating performance of the Company’s real estate portfolio on a segment basis, and the Company uses NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess regional property level performance. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact the Company’s results from operations. Further, the Company’s NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate investment trusts, as they may use different methodologies for

12. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commitments

      Lease Commitments. The Company holds operating ground leases on land parcels at its on-tarmac facilities, leases on office spaces for corporate use, and a leasehold interest that it holds for investment purposes. The remaining lease terms are from one to 45 years. Operating lease payments are being amortized ratably over the terms of the related leases.

      Standby Letters of Credit. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had provided approximately $24.9 million in letters of credit, of which $16.5 million was provided under the Operating Partnership’s $500.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.

      Guarantees. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this report, as of June 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount of $22.1 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of June 30, 2004, the Company guaranteed $3.6 million and $23.4 million on outstanding construction loans for one of its consolidated joint ventures and one of its unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively. The maximum borrowing capacity of these construction loans was $30.0 million and $69.0 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2004.

      Performance and Surety Bonds. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $1.5 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of its development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such as grading, sewers and streets. Performance and surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from real estate developers. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.

      Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations. Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, the Company may be obligated to make payments to certain joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with the Operating Partnership. From time to time in the normal course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into

23


Table of Contents

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

various contracts with third parties that may obligate it to make payments or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.

 
Contingencies

      Litigation. In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. Management does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

      Environmental Matters. The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability would have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow. The Company carries environmental insurance and believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice.

      General Uninsured Losses. The Company carries property and rental loss, liability, flood and terrorism insurance. The Company believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice. In addition, certain of the Company’s properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity; therefore, the Company has obtained limited earthquake insurance on those properties. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Although the Company has obtained coverage for certain acts of terrorism, with policy specifications and insured limits that it believes are commercially reasonable, it is not certain that the Company will be able to collect under such policies. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, a property.

      Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001, the Company formed a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (“Arcata”), which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under the Company’s third-party policies. The Company capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience at the Company’s properties. Annually, the Company engages an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Arcata have a retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses and deductibles, are less than premiums collected, the excess may be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, subject to certain limitations, if expenses, including losses, are greater than premiums collected, an additional premium will be charged. As with all recoverable expenses, differences between estimated and actual insurance premiums will be recognized in the subsequent year. Through this structure, the Company believes that it has more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

      The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in this Item 2 has been restated to reflect certain adjustments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2004. See Note 2 to the restated unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A.

      You should read the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements. Statements contained in this discussion that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Such statements relate to our future performance and plans, results of operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and operating improvements and costs. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or the negative of these words and phrases, or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely upon them as predictions of future events. There is no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them.

      The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

  •  changes in general economic conditions or in the real estate sector;
 
  •  non-renewal of leases by customers or renewal at lower than expected rent;
 
  •  difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms and the failure of acquisitions to perform as we expect;
 
  •  risks and uncertainties affecting property development and renovation (including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and financing);
 
  •  a downturn in California’s economy or real estate conditions;
 
  •  losses in excess of our insurance coverage;
 
  •  our failure to divest of properties on advantageous terms or to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures;
 
  •  unknown liabilities acquired from our predecessors or in connection with acquired properties;
 
  •  risks of doing business internationally, including unfamiliarity with new markets and currency risks;
 
  •  risks associated with using debt to fund acquisitions and development, including re-financing risks;
 
  •  our failure to obtain necessary financing;
 
  •  changes in local, state and federal regulatory requirements;
 
  •  environmental uncertainties; and
 
  •  our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

      Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk factors discussed in the “Business Risks” section in this report and in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Business Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of this report

GENERAL

      We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997, and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with our initial tax return for the year ended December 31, 1997. AMB Property Corporation and AMB Property, L.P. were formed shortly before the consummation of our initial public offering.

Management’s Overview

      We generate revenue and earnings primarily from rent received from customers under long-term (generally three to ten years) operating leases at our properties, including reimbursements from customers for certain operating costs, and from partnership distributions and fees from our private capital business. We also derive earnings from the strategic disposition of assets and from the disposition of projects under our development-for-sale program. Our long-term growth is dependent on our ability to maintain and increase occupancy rates or increase rental rates at our properties and our ability to continue to acquire and develop new properties.

      According to data from Torto Wheaton Research, national demand for leased industrial space improved in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, following 14 quarters of negatively trending availability. While the period of rising availability proved a difficult leasing environment, acquisition demand for industrial property (as evidenced by our observation of strong national sales volumes and declining acquisition capitalization rates) has remained consistently strong. We believe that we have capitalized on this opportunity by accelerating the repositioning of our portfolio through the disposition of properties. While we continue to sell assets on an opportunistic basis, we believe that we have substantially achieved our near-term strategic disposition goals. Property dispositions result in reinvestment capacity and trigger gain/loss recognition, but they also create near-term earnings dilution. However, we believe that, in the long-term, the repositioning of our portfolio will benefit our stockholders.

(1)  Our U.S. hub and gateway markets include on-tarmac and Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/ Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/ New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami and Seattle.

      We observed two positive trends nationally for industrial real estate during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, supported by data provided by Torto Wheaton Research. First, national industrial space availability declined 30 basis points in the quarter from 11.7% to 11.4%. This positive change in national industrial space availability is the first such improvement in 14 quarters, during which time national industrial space availability increased on average 37 basis points per quarter. Second, national absorption of industrial space, defined as the net change in occupied stock as measured by square feet of completions less the change in available vacant square feet, totaled approximately 40-50 million square feet in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, approximately triple the absorption of 14 million square feet in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This represented the fourth consecutive quarter of positive absorption, following ten quarters in which absorption averaged a negative 16.6 million square feet per quarter.

      In this improved environment, our industrial portfolio’s occupancy levels increased to 93.6% at June 30, 2004 from 92.7% at March 31, 2004, which we believe reflects higher levels of demand for industrial space generally and in our portfolio specifically. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, our lease expirations totaled approximately 5.2 million square feet while commencements of new or renewed leases totaled approximately 5.9 million square feet, resulting in an increase in our occupancy levels of approximately 90 basis points. On June 30, 2004, our occupancy levels were 210 basis points higher than at June 30, 2003, and were approximately 500 basis points greater than the overall industrial market at June 30, 2004, according to Torto Wheaton Research.

      Rents on industrial renewals and rollovers in our portfolio decreased 13.7% during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as leases were entered into or renewed at rates consistent with what we believe to be current market levels. We believe this decline in rents on lease renewals and rollovers reflects trends in national industrial space availability. We believe that relatively high levels of national industrial space availability have caused market rents for industrial properties to decline between 10-20% from their peak levels in 2001. Rental rates in our portfolio declined at a lower rate in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 than in the prior quarter, which we believe indicates a stabilization of market rental rate levels. While the level of rental rate reduction varied by market, we increased the occupancy levels in our portfolio 500 basis points in excess of the national industrial market, as determined by Torto Wheaton Research, by pricing lease renewals and new leases with

27


Table of Contents

sensitivity to local market conditions. In periods of decreasing or stabilizing rental rates, we strive to sign leases with shorter terms to prevent locking in lower rent levels for long periods and to be prepared to sign new, longer-term leases during periods of growing rental rates. When we sign leases of shorter duration, we attempt to limit overall leasing costs and capital expenditures by offering different grades of tenant improvement packages, appropriate to the lease term. We generally followed this practice during the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

      We believe that development, renovation and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should generally continue to provide us with attractive investment opportunities at a higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of existing properties. We find our development opportunities in Mexico and Japan to be particularly attractive given the current lack of supply of modern distribution facilities. We have increased our development pipeline from a low of $107.0 million at the end of 2002 to $353.8 million at June 30, 2004. In addition to our committed development pipeline, we hold 485 acres, 19 acres and six acres in North America, Asia and Europe, respectively, which could support an aggregate of approximately 8.9 million square feet of additional development. Additionally, we own approximately 267 acres of land in North America as part of our development and land sales program.

      Going forward, we believe that our co-investment program with private-capital investors will continue to serve as a significant source of capital for acquisitions. Through these co-investment joint ventures, we earn acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, as well as promoted interests and incentive distributions based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures; however, there can be no assurance that we will continue to do so.

      To maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, we must pay dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income. As a result, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our on-going operations to the same extent that other corporations that are not real estate investment trusts can. We must continue to raise capital in both the debt and equity markets to fund our working capital needs, acquisitions and developments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a complete discussion of the sources of our capital.

      See Part I, Item 1: Notes 6, 7 and 9 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for a more detailed discussion of our capital markets and equity transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies

      Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our

29


Table of Contents

assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

      Restatement of Depreciation Expense. On October 12, 2004, we announced a restatement of depreciation expense for our prior period results relating to 39 buildings in our portfolio, 38 of which are located on-tarmac, which is land owned by federal, state or local airport authorities. As part of management’s on-going review of our accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting, management determined that we should have depreciated certain of our investments in buildings that reside on land subject to ground leases over the remaining terms of the ground leases, rather than over 40 years, which is the period used to depreciate buildings that we hold in fee simple. We did not segregate these assets into a separate expected useful life category for depreciation purposes. Our management determined that the internal control deficiency that resulted in this restatement represents a material weakness, as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 2. In connection with correcting this error, management has taken appropriate action to modify our system of internal control over financial reporting to remediate this internal control deficiency. Going forward, these assets will be depreciated over the lesser of 40 years or the contractual term of the underlying ground lease. A description of this weakness and the related remediation measures that have been undertaken by us is set forth in Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures of this Form 10-Q/ A.

      Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. We also record at acquisition an intangible asset or liability for the value attributable to above or below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs for all acquisitions subsequent to July 1, 2001. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying amount of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future market conditions and the availability of capital. Examples of certain situations that could affect future cash flows of a property may include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in occupancy; unforeseen bankruptcy, lease termination and move-out of a major customer; or a significant decrease in annual base rents of that property. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying amount of our long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings.

      Revenue Recognition. We record rental revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases and maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If customers fail to make contractual lease payments that are greater than our allowance for doubtful accounts, security deposits and letters of credit, then we may have to recognize additional doubtful account charges in future periods. We monitor the liquidity and creditworthiness of our customers on an on-going basis. Each period, we review our outstanding accounts receivable, including straight-line rents, for doubtful accounts and provide allowances as needed. We also record lease termination fees when a customer has executed a definitive termination agreement with us and the payment of the termination fee is not subject to any conditions that must be met or waived before the fee is due to us. If a customer remains in the leased space following the execution of a definitive termination agreement, the applicable termination fees are deferred and recognized over the term of such customer’s occupancy.

      Property Dispositions. We report real estate dispositions in three separate categories on our consolidated statements of operations. First, when we contribute properties to our joint ventures, we recognize gains representing the portion of the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors to the extent of cash proceeds received. We also dispose of value-added conversion projects and build-to-suit and speculative

30


Table of Contents

development projects that we have held as development projects available for sale. The gain or loss recognized from the disposition of these projects is reported net of estimated taxes, when applicable. Lastly, beginning in 2002, SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, required us to separately report as discontinued operations the historical operating results attributable to operating properties sold and the applicable gain or loss on the disposition of the properties. The consolidated statements of operations for prior periods are also adjusted to conform to this classification. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated financial position, net income or cash flows.

      Joint Ventures. We hold interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. Our joint venture investments do not meet the variable interest entity criteria under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. Therefore, we determine consolidation based on standards set forth in EITF 96-16, Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights, and Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. Based on the guidance set forth in these pronouncements, we consolidate certain joint venture investments because we own a majority interest or exercise significant control over major operating decisions, such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. For joint ventures where we do not own a majority interest or do not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions, we use the equity method of accounting and do not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes.

      Real Estate Investment Trust. As a real estate investment trust, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income taxes if we meet minimum distribution, income, asset and shareholder tests. However, some of our subsidiaries may be subject to federal and state taxes. In addition, foreign entities may also be subject to the taxes of the host country. An income tax allocation is required to be estimated on our taxable income arising from our taxable REIT subsidiaries and foreign entities. A deferred tax component could arise based upon the differences in GAAP versus tax income for items such as depreciation and gain recognition. However, we believe deferred tax is an immaterial component of our consolidated balance sheet.

THE COMPANY

      AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation, acquires, develops and operates primarily industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997. Increasingly, our strategy focuses on providing properties for customers who value the efficient movement of goods in the world’s busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained locations with close proximity to airports, seaports and major freeway systems. As of June 30, 2004, we owned, managed and had renovation and development projects totaling 106.7 million square feet (9.9 million square meters) and 1,105 buildings in 37 markets within eight countries.

      We operate our business through our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. As of June 30, 2004, we owned an approximate 94.6% general partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding preferred units. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for and discretion in its day-to-day management and control.

      Our investment strategy generally targets customers whose businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the World Trade Organization, has grown more than three times the world gross domestic product growth rate during the last 20 years. To serve the facilities needs of these customers, we seek to invest in major distribution markets, transportation hubs and gateways, both domestically and internationally. Our investment strategy seeks target markets that are generally characterized by large population densities and typically offer substantial consumer bases, proximity to large clusters of distribution-facility users and significant labor pools. When measured by annualized base rents, 66.3% of our industrial properties are concentrated in eight U.S. hub and gateway distribution markets: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/ Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/ New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami and Seattle. Our on-tarmac properties account for 8.1% of our annualized base rents. Much of our portfolio is comprised of

31


Table of Contents

industrial buildings in in-fill submarkets. In-fill locations are characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing projects as well as physical, political or economic barriers to new development.

      We focus our investment strategy on High Throughput Distribution®, or HTD® facilities, which are buildings designed to quickly distribute our customers’ products, rather than store them. Our investment focus on HTD assets is based on what we believe to be a global trend toward lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains. HTD facilities generally have a variety of characteristics that allow for the rapid transport of goods from point-to-point. Examples of these physical characteristics include numerous dock doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and more space for trailer parking. We believe that these building characteristics represent a key factor for time-sensitive customers such as air express, logistics and freight forwarding companies, and that these facilities function best when located in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure such as major airports and seaports.

      As of June 30, 2004, we owned and operated (exclusive of properties that we managed for third parties) 994 industrial buildings and four retail and other properties, totaling approximately 91.7 million rentable square feet, located in 35 markets throughout North America and in France, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands. As of June 30, 2004, through our subsidiary, AMB Capital Partners, LLC, we also managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial buildings and retail centers totaling approximately 0.5 million rentable square feet. In addition, as of June 30, 2004, we had investments in operating industrial buildings totaling approximately 7.8 million rentable square feet, through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2004, we also had investments in industrial development projects, some of which are part of our development-for-sale program, totaling approximately 6.7 million square feet. As of June 30, 2004, we had five industrial buildings and three undeveloped land parcels held for divestiture.

      We are self-administered and self-managed and expect that we have qualified and will continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 1997. As a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, our own employees perform our corporate administrative and management functions, rather than our relying on an outside manager for these services. We manage our portfolio of properties in a flexible operating model which includes direct property management and a Strategic Alliance Program® in which we have established relationships with third-party real estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide property-level administrative and management services under our direction.

      Our principal executive office is located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is (415) 394-9000. We also maintain regional offices in Amsterdam, Boston, Chicago, Shanghai and Tokyo. As of June 30, 2004, we employed 192 individuals: 127 at our San Francisco headquarters, 47 in our Boston office, and the remainder in our other regional offices. Our website address is www.amb.com. Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available on our website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained on our website is not and should not be deemed a part of this quarterly report.

Operating Strategy

      We base our operating strategy on a variety of operational and service offerings, including in-house acquisitions, development, redevelopment, asset management, leasing, finance, accounting and market research. Our strategy is to leverage our expertise across a large customer base, and complement our internal management resources with long-standing relationships with entrepreneurial real estate management and development firms in our target markets, which we refer to as our Strategic Alliance Partners®.

      We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and best operated by local teams in each market comprised of AMB employees, local alliance partners or both. We intend to increase utilization of internal management resources in target markets to achieve both operating efficiencies and to expose our customers to the broadening array of AMB service offerings, including global locations and build-to-suit

developments. We believe our operating model benefits from the use of alliance partners. We actively manage our portfolio, whether directly or with an alliance partner, by establishing leasing strategies, negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of property improvements.

      We believe our alliances give us both local market benefits and flexibility to focus on the development and execution of our strategic approach to real estate investment, management and the raising of private capital to finance growth.

Growth Strategies

 
Growth Through Operations

      We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space by working to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of scale inherent in owning, operating and growing a large, global portfolio. However, during the three months ended June 30, 2004, our average industrial base rental rates decreased by 13.7% from the rent in place at expiration for that space on leases entered into or renewed during the period. This amount excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage rents and straight-line rents. Since 2001, as the industrial market weakened, we have focused on maintaining occupancy levels. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, cash-basis same-store net operating income (rental revenues less straight-lined rents, property operating expenses and real estate taxes) decreased by 6.1% on our industrial properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, cash-basis same-store net operating income decreased by 4.4% on our industrial properties. From our initial public offering through first quarter 2004 (the most recent reporting period for our peer group), our cash-basis same-store net operating income growth has outperformed our industrial peer average by approximately 150 basis points. Since our initial public offering in November 1997, we have experienced average annual increases in industrial base rental rates of 8.4% and maintained an average occupancy of 94.9%. While we believe that it is important to view real estate as a long-term investment, past results are not necessarily an indication of future performance. See Part I, Item 1: Note 11 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for detailed segment information, including revenue attributable to each segment, gross investment in each segment and total assets.

 
Growth Through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment

      We believe that our acquisition experience and our network of property management and acquisition resources will continue to provide opportunities for external growth. We have forged relationships with third-party local property management firms through our Management Alliance Program®. We believe that these alliances will create additional acquisition opportunities, as such managers frequently market properties on behalf of sellers. We believe that our operating structure also enables us to acquire properties through our UPREIT Alliance Program® in exchange for limited partnership units in the operating partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., thereby enhancing our attractiveness to owners and developers seeking to transfer properties on a tax-deferred basis. In addition, we seek to redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that better fit our current investment focus.

      We are generally engaged in various stages of negotiations for a number of acquisitions and dispositions that may include acquisitions and dispositions of individual properties, acquisitions of large multi-property portfolios and acquisitions of other real estate companies. There can be no assurance that we will consummate any of these transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital for acquisitions may include retained cash flow from operations, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or preferred or common equity securities by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries), proceeds from divestitures of properties, assumption of debt related to the acquired properties and private capital from our co-investment partners.

Growth Through Development

      We believe that development, renovation and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should continue to provide us with attractive investment opportunities at a higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of existing properties. We believe we have the in-house expertise to create value both through new construction and acquisition and management of value-added properties. Value-added properties are typically characterized as properties with available space or near-term leasing exposure, undeveloped land acquired in connection with other property that provides an opportunity for development or properties that are well-located but require redevelopment or renovation. Both new development and value-added properties require significant management attention and capital investment to maximize their return. In addition to our in-house development staff, we have established strategic alliances with global and regional developers that we expect to enhance our development capabilities. We believe our global market presence and expertise will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on a diverse range of development opportunities.

      We believe that the multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development opportunities. Several of our officers have specific experience in real estate development, both with us and with national development firms, and over the past year we have expanded our development staff. We pursue development projects directly and in joint ventures with our Development Alliance Partners®, which provides us with the flexibility to pursue development projects independently or in partnerships, depending on market conditions, submarkets or building sites. Under a typical joint venture agreement with a Development Alliance Partner, we would fund 95% of the construction costs and our partner would fund 5%; however, in certain cases we may own as little as 50% or as much as 98% of the joint venture. Upon completion, we generally would purchase our partner’s interest in the joint venture. We may also structure developments such that we would own 100% of the asset with an incentive development fee to be paid upon completion to our development partner.

 
Growth Through Developments for Sale

      The operating partnership, through its taxable REIT subsidiaries, conducts a variety of businesses that include incremental income programs, such as our development projects available for sale to third parties. Such development properties include value-added conversion projects and build-to-sell projects.

 
Growth Through Global Expansion

      By 2007, we plan to have approximately 15% of our portfolio (based on consolidated annualized base rent) invested in international markets. As of June 30, 2004, our international operating properties comprised 4.2% of our total annualized industrial base rent. Our Mexican target markets currently include Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. Our European target markets currently include the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. Our Asian target markets currently include Singapore, Japan and China. There are many factors that could cause our entry into target markets and future capital allocation to differ from our current expectations, which are discussed under the subheading “Our International Growth is Subject to Special Political and Monetary Risks” and elsewhere under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Business Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Further, it is possible that our target markets will change over time to reflect experience, market opportunities, customer needs and changes in global distribution patterns. For a breakout of the amount of our revenues attributable to the United States and to foreign countries in total, please see Part I, Item 1: Note 11 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

      We believe that expansion into target international markets represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in industrial markets with high population densities, close proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools, and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our international expansion strategy mirrors our domestic focus on supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic or physical constraints to new development. Our international investments will extend our offering of High Throughput Distribution® facilities for customers who value speed-to-market over storage. We are generally focused on customers whose

business is derived from global trade. In addition, our investments target major consumer distribution markets and customers.

      We believe that our established customer relationships, our contacts in the air cargo and logistics industries, our underwriting of markets and investment considerations and our Strategic Alliance Programs with knowledgeable developers and managers will assist us in competing internationally.

 
Growth Through Co-Investments

      We co-invest in properties with private-capital investors through partnerships, limited liability companies or joint ventures. Our co-investment joint ventures typically operate under the same investment strategy that we apply to our other operations. Typically we will own a 20-50% interest in our co-investment ventures. In general, we control all significant operating and investment decisions of our co-investment entities. We believe that our co-investment program will continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions; however, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so. In addition, our co-investment joint ventures earn acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, as well as promoted interests and incentive fees based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures. As of June 30, 2004, we owned approximately 34.5 million square feet of our properties (35% of the total consolidated operating and development portfolio) through our co-investment joint ventures. In addition, we expect to fund, in part, our international expansion with private capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures. Same store properties are those that we owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development properties prior to being stabilized subsequent to December 31, 2002 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for which we have held a certificate of occupancy or where building has been substantially complete for at least 12 months).

      As of June 30, 2004, same store industrial properties consisted of properties aggregating approximately 78.8 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2004 consisted of 39 buildings, aggregating approximately 2.7 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2003 consisted of 16 buildings, aggregating approximately 2.1 million square feet. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, property divestitures consisted of one industrial building and one office building, aggregating approximately 0.3 million square feet. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, property divestitures consisted of two industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet.

      The properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted of 46 buildings, aggregating approximately 4.0 million square feet. The properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2003 consisted of 18 buildings, aggregating approximately 2.3 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, property divestitures consisted of two industrial buildings and one office building, aggregating approximately 0.4 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 36 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 4.2 million square feet. Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties and dispositions. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical results.

      The decrease in industrial same store rental revenues was primarily driven by lower average occupancies in the San Francisco Bay Area, New Jersey and Chicago sub-markets, as well as decreased rental rates and prior year termination fees. Across the portfolio, these and other factors accounted for approximately $6.0 million of the change from prior year. This decrease was positively offset by a decrease in allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.6 million. Industrial same store occupancy was 93.5% at June 30, 2004 and 91.6% at June 30, 2003. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, rents in the same store portfolio decreased 15.2% on industrial renewals and rollovers (cash basis) on 4.0 million square feet leased. The properties acquired during 2003 consisted of 82 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.5 million square feet. The properties acquired during 2004 consisted of 46 buildings, aggregating approximately 4.0 million square feet. Other industrial revenues include rental revenues from divested properties not classified as discontinued operations, which accordingly are not classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, and development projects, which have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. In 2003 and 2004, we acquired properties in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan and Mexico resulting in increased international industrial revenues.

      Same store properties’ operating expenses remained relatively unchanged from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004, showing an increase of $0.3 million from prior year on a quarter-to-date basis. The 2003 acquisitions consist of 82 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.5 million square feet. The 2004 acquisitions consist of 46 buildings, aggregating approximately 4.0 million square feet. Other industrial expenses include expenses from divested properties, which have been contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture, which accordingly are not classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, and development properties, which have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. In 2003 and 2004, we continued to acquire properties in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan and Mexico resulting in increased international industrial property operating costs. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and additional staffing and expenses for new initiatives, including our international and development expansions.

      The $0.7 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily due to increased non-reimbursable expenses and an early lease termination in the first quarter at one of the properties held by a joint venture in Chicago. The $0.9 million decrease in interest and other income was primarily due to a gain from the sale of a warrant in the second quarter of 2003. The increase in interest expense, including amortization, was due to the issuance of additional unsecured debt under our 2002 medium-term note

      The $0.2 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily due to an early lease termination at one of the properties held by a joint venture in Chicago and increased non-reimbursable expenses. This decrease was offset by the receipt of a lease termination fee at the above-mentioned property in Chicago in the first quarter. The $0.5 million decrease in interest and other income was primarily due to the gain from the sale of a warrant in the second quarter of 2003 partially offset by a gain from

the first quarter 2004 sale of stock of a technology company in which we had an investment. In the first quarter of 2003, we contributed properties to an unconsolidated joint venture and accordingly recognized a gain. The increase in interest expense, including amortization, was due to the issuance of additional unsecured debt under our 2002 medium-term note program, increased borrowings on the unsecured credit facilities, and additional secured debt borrowings in our co-investment joint ventures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Balance Sheet Strategy. In general, we use unsecured lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred stock and common equity (issued by us and/or the operating partnership and its subsidiaries) to capitalize our 100%-owned assets. Over time, we plan to retire non-recourse, secured debt encumbering our 100%-owned assets and replace that debt with unsecured notes. In managing our co-investment joint ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to capitalize our co-investment joint ventures.

      We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of properties will include:

  •  retained earnings and cash flow from operations;
 
  •  borrowings under our unsecured credit facility;
 
  •  other forms of secured or unsecured financing;
 
  •  proceeds from equity or debt offerings by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of limited partnership units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries);
 
  •  net proceeds from divestitures of properties; and
 
  •  private capital from co-investment partners.

      We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will include:

  •  working capital;
 
  •  development, expansion and renovation of properties;
 
  •  acquisitions, including our global expansion;

  •  debt service; and
 
  •  dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred stock and limited partnership units.

      We believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations, borrowings available under our unsecured credit facility and our ability to access private and public debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Capital Resources

      Property Divestitures. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we divested ourselves of one industrial building and one office building, aggregating approximately 0.3 million square feet for an aggregate price of $12.9 million, with a resulting net gain of $2.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we divested ourselves of two industrial buildings and one office building, aggregating approximately 0.4 million square feet for an aggregate price of $17.9 million, with a resulting net gain of $1.9 million.

      Development Sales. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we sold four land parcels and one development project as part of our development-for-sale pipeline, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet for an aggregate price of $14.0 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $3.2 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, we made no such sales.

      Properties Held for Divestiture. As of June 30, 2004, we had decided to divest ourselves of five industrial buildings and three undeveloped land parcels which are not in our core markets or which do not meet our current strategic objectives. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. As of June 30, 2004, the net carrying value of the properties held for divestiture was $39.6 million.

      Co-investment Joint Ventures. Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. We consolidate these joint ventures for financial reporting purposes because they are not variable interest entities and because we are the sole managing general partner and control all major operating decisions. Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected as minority interests in our consolidated financial statements.

      As of June 30, 2004, we owned approximately 34.5 million square feet of our properties (35% of the total consolidated operating and development portfolio) through our co-investment joint ventures and 5.9 million square feet of our properties through our other consolidated joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.

      Common and Preferred Equity. We have authorized for issuance 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock of which the following series were designated as of June 30, 2004: 1,595,337 shares of series D preferred stock; 220,440 shares of series E preferred stock; 267,439 shares of series F preferred stock; 840,000 shares of series H preferred stock; 510,000 shares of series I preferred stock; 800,000 shares of series J preferred stock; 800,000 shares of series K preferred stock; 2,300,000 shares of series L preferred stock; and 2,300,000 shares of series M preferred stock.

      In December 2003, our board of directors approved a new two-year common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. We did not repurchase or retire any shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

      Debt. In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend to operate with a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio (our share) of approximately 45% or less. As of June 30, 2004, our share of total debt-to-total market capitalization ratio was 41.1%. However, we typically finance our co-investment joint ventures with secured debt at a loan-to-value ratio of 50-65% per our joint venture partnership agreements. Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless of these policies, however, our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our management could alter or eliminate these policies without stockholder approval or circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply with these policies.

      As of June 30, 2004, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.5 billion, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $12.8 million. Of the $1.5 billion of secured debt, $1.1 billion is secured by properties in our joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and bears interest at rates varying from 2.6% to 10.4% per annum (with a weighted average rate of 6.8%) and final maturity dates ranging from July 2004 to June 2023. All of the secured debt bears interest at fixed rates, except for six loans with an aggregate principal amount of $54.3 million as of June 30, 2004, which bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 4.0% as of June 30, 2004).

      As of June 30, 2004, the operating partnership had issued an aggregate of $1.0 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.5% and had an average term of 5.2 years. These unsecured senior debt securities include $100.0 million in notes, which are putable and callable in September 2005, $400.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnership’s 2000 medium-term note program, and $225.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnership’s 2002 medium-term note program. The operating partnership’s 2002 medium-term note program has a remaining capacity of $175.0 million. The operating partnership intends to continue to issue medium-term notes, guaranteed by us, under the 2002 program from time to time and as market conditions permit.

      We guarantee the operating partnership’s obligations with respect to its senior debt securities. If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds from other capital transactions, then our cash flow may be insufficient to pay dividends to our stockholders in all years and to repay debt upon maturity. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) result in higher interest rates upon

42


Table of Contents

refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. This increased interest expense would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

      Credit Facilities. On June 1, 2004, the operating partnership completed the early renewal of its senior unsecured revolving line of credit in the amount of $500.0 million. We remain a guarantor of the operating partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The three-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million can be drawn in Yen, Euros or British Pounds Sterling. The line, which matures in June 2007 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions, and replaces the operating partnership’s previous $500.0 million credit facility that was to mature in December 2005. The line is priced at 60 basis points over the applicable LIBOR index, with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points, based on the current credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt. The operating partnership uses its unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. The total amount available under the credit facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement governing the credit facility, generally the value of our unencumbered properties. As of June 30, 2004, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $405.5 million and the remaining amount available was $78.0 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $16.5 million (excluding the additional $200.0 million of potential additional capacity). The outstanding balance included borrowings denominated in Euros and Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2004, would equal approximately $81.2 million and $94.3 million in U.S. dollars, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, we had an additional outstanding balance of $23.0 million on other credit facilities.

      On June 29, 2004, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the operating partnership, entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement providing for loans or letters of credit in a maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of up to 24 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2004, equals approximately $221.0 million U.S. dollars. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the revolving credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the operating partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest, and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the revolving credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan. Generally, borrowers under the revolving credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the revolving credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The revolving credit facility matures in June 2007 and has a one-year extension option, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings will generally be TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the current credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt and is currently 60 basis points. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt, and is currently 20 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the facility.

      Mortgages Receivable. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we hold a mortgage loan receivable on AMB Pier One, LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture. The note bears interest at 13.0% and matures in May 2026. As of June 30, 2004, the outstanding balance on the note was $13.0 million. We also hold short-term mortgages on sold properties totaling $10.6 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.7%. The mortgages mature between December 2004 and November 2006.

Liquidity

      As of June 30, 2004, we had $116.8 million in cash and cash equivalents (of which $67.5 million was held by our consolidated co-investment joint ventures), and $326.0 million of additional available borrowings under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2004, we had $29.4 million in restricted cash (of which $7.7 million was held by our consolidated co-investment joint ventures).

      The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from operations, will not allow us to retire all of our debt as it comes due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with net proceeds from future debt or equity financings, as well as property divestitures. However, we may not be able to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Capital Commitments

      Developments. In addition to recurring capital expenditures, which consist of building improvements and leasing costs incurred to renew or re-tenant space, during the three months ended June 30, 2004, we did not initiate any new industrial development projects. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we initiated five new industrial development projects in North America with a total estimated investment of $69.5 million at completion, aggregating an estimated 1.1 million square feet, and one new industrial development in Japan with a total expected investment of $82.5 million, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. As of June 30, 2004, we had 20 projects in our development pipeline representing a total estimated investment of $353.8 million upon completion, of which five industrial projects with a total of 2.2 million square feet and an aggregate estimated investment of $89.2 million upon completion are held in unconsolidated joint ventures, and four development projects available for sale representing a total estimated investment of $34.7 million

Table of Contents

upon completion. Of this total, $198.8 million had been funded as of June 30, 2004, and an estimated $189.7 million was required to complete current and planned projects. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, debt or equity issuances, net proceeds from property divestitures and private capital from co-investment partners, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow.

      Acquisitions. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we acquired 39 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 2.7 million square feet for a total expected investment of $305.1 million, of which we acquired 33 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 1.6 million square feet through three of our co-investment joint ventures, for a total expected investment of $99.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we acquired 46 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 4.0 million square feet for a total expected investment of $439.2 million, of which we acquired 35 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet through three of our co-investment joint ventures, for a total expected investment of $132.0 million. We generally fund our acquisitions through private capital contributions, borrowings under our credit facility, cash, debt issuances and net proceeds from property divestitures.

      Lease Commitments. We have entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms from one to 45 years.

      Co-investment Joint Ventures. Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. As of June 30, 2004, we had investments in co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of $2.0 billion, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2004, we may make additional capital contributions to current and planned co-investment joint ventures of up to $9.4 million. We expect to fund these contributions with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, debt or equity issuances or net proceeds from property divestitures, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

      Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001, we formed a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd., which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under our third-party policies. We capitalized Arcata National Insurance Ltd. in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata National Insurance Ltd. established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of our properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata National Insurance Ltd. may be adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Arcata National Insurance Ltd. have a retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses and deductibles, are less than premiums collected, the excess may be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, subject to certain limitations, if expenses, including losses, are greater than premiums collected, an additional premium will be charged. As with all recoverable expenses, differences between estimated and actual insurance premiums will be recognized in the subsequent year. Through this structure, we believe that we have more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

      Potential Unknown Liabilities. Unknown liabilities may include the following:

  •  liabilities for clean-up or remediation of undisclosed environmental conditions;
 
  •  claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our predecessors prior to our formation transactions that had not been asserted prior to our formation transactions;
 
  •  accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business;
 
  •  tax liabilities; and
 
  •  claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our predecessors and others indemnified by these entities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

      Standby Letters of Credit. As of June 30, 2004, we had provided approximately $24.9 million in letters of credit, of which $16.5 million was provided under the operating partnership’s $500.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.

      Guarantees. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this report, as of June 30, 2004, we had outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount of $21.1 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of June 30, 2004, we guaranteed $3.6 million and $23.4 million on outstanding construction loans on one of our consolidated joint ventures and one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, the maximum borrowing capacity of these construction loans were $30.0 million and $69.0 million, respectively.

      Performance and Surety Bonds. As of June 30, 2004, we had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $1.5 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of our development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such as grading, sewers and streets. Performance and surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from real estate developers. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.

      Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations. Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, we may be obligated to make payments to certain of joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with us. From time to time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.

SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MEASURES

      FFO. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. FFO is defined as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, less gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. We believe that FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. We consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies.

      While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO also does not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor is FFO

necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

      The following table reflects the calculation of FFO reconciled from net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in thousands):

BUSINESS RISKS

      Our operations involve various risks that could have adverse consequences to us. In addition to the risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, these risks include the following:

      There was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and our business could have been adversely impacted if we had failed to remedy the deficiencies in our controls.

      The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements or misrepresentations. As part of management’s on-going review of our accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting, on October 12, 2004, management determined that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to ground lease depreciation. This weakness resulted in an understatement of depreciation expense and resulted in a restatement of depreciation expense for our results in previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 filed on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 filed on Forms 10-Q for the quarters then ended. In connection with correcting this error, management has taken appropriate action to modify our system of internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weakness. While management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no guarantee that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. Other deficiencies, particularly a material weakness, in internal control over financial reporting which may occur in the future could result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements of our financial statements, a decline in our stock price, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operation, financial condition or liquidity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our credit facility and other variable rate borrowings and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of June 30, 2004, we had no interest rate caps or swaps. See Part I, Item 2: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capital Resources — Market Capitalization.”

      The table below summarizes the market risks associated with our fixed and variable rate debt outstanding before unamortized debt premiums of $12.8 million as of June 30, 2004 (dollars in thousands):

(1)  Represents 82.3% of all outstanding debt.
 
(2)  Represents 17.7% of all outstanding debt.

      If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased by 10% (or approximately 13 basis points), then the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would be $0.7 million annually. As of June 30, 2004, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt was $2,641.6 million based on our estimate of current market interest rates.

      As of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, variable rate debt comprised 17.8% and 14.7%, respectively, of all our outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $532.8 million and $378.0 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The increase is primarily due to higher outstanding balances on our credit facilities. This increase in our variable rate debt increases our risk associated with unfavorable interest rate fluctuations.

      Financial Instruments. We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. For revenues or expenses denominated in non-functional currencies, we may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our derivative financial instruments in effect at June 30, 2004 were two put options (buy USD/sell MXN) hedging against adverse foreign exchange fluctuations of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. The following table summarizes our financial instruments as of June 30, 2004:

      Foreign Operations. Our exposure to market risk also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. The

52


Table of Contents

functional currency for our subsidiaries operating outside North America is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity is located, mitigating the effect of foreign exchange gains and losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. We translate income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. Losses resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and totaled $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

      Our foreign subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, gains from remeasurement included in our results of operations were $0.1 million.

      We also record gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated. We believe that these gains or losses are immaterial.

 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

      On October 12, 2004, we announced a restatement of depreciation expense for our prior period results relating to 39 buildings in our portfolio, 38 of which are located on-tarmac, which is land owned by federal, state or local airport authorities. As part of management’s on-going review of our accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting, management determined that we should have depreciated certain of our investments in buildings that reside on land subject to ground leases over the remaining terms of the ground leases, rather than over 40 years, which is the period used to depreciate buildings that we hold in fee simple. Management determined that the cause for this depreciation error was that there was no mechanism in place to segregate and apply appropriate depreciable lives to assets subject to ground leases. Our general ledger did not have a separate account designation for assets subject to ground leases so these assets were not segregated into a separate expected useful life category for depreciation purposes.

      Management also determined that the internal control deficiency that resulted in this restatement represents a material weakness, as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 2. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined material weakness as “a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.” Our conclusion that the control issues surrounding ground lease depreciation constituted a material weakness means that, absent remediation of these issues, there would exist a reasonable possibility of a material misstatement in our financial statements for future periods.

      Going forward, these assets will be depreciated over the lesser of 40 years or the contractual term of the underlying ground lease. In connection with correcting this error, management has taken appropriate action to modify our system of internal control over financial reporting to remediate this internal control deficiency. Specifically, we have implemented the following remediation measures with respect to this material weakness:

  •  Management modified our existing property acquisition accounting checklist system to identify ground leases to the appropriate accounting and finance personnel who create journal entries in the general ledger and to communicate certain information regarding such ground leases, including lease commencement and termination dates and any contractual extension options.
 
  •  Management created new general ledger accounts to segregate ground lease assets from fee simple assets and reclassified all investments in buildings that reside on land subject to ground leases into the new general ledger accounts.

53


Table of Contents

  •  Management modified our existing property depreciation accounting policy to include a separate category for buildings residing on land subject to ground leases, which under the policy will be depreciated over the lesser of 40 years or the contractual term of the underlying ground lease.
 
  •  Management designated certain finance personnel to review our quarterly depreciation calculations, which will include a review for the correct depreciable lives of ground lease assets.

      To reflect additional depreciation expense in this Form 10-Q/ A, management has restated our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2004. Management and the audit committee of our board of directors discussed with our independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and determined that this was the proper approach. On October 12, 2004, management and the audit committee of our board of directors concluded that our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2004 should no longer be relied upon because of this error in such financial statements as addressed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20.

      As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the material weakness described above, our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2004, the end of the quarter covered by this report. However, in light of the implementation of the new remediation measures described above, our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer believe, as of the date of this report, management has taken appropriate action to modify our internal control over financial reporting relating to ground lease depreciation and remediate this material weakness. The changes in our internal control over financial reporting discussed above materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

      Except as stated above, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

      As of June 30, 2004, there were no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our properties is the subject, the adverse determination of which we anticipate would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of operations.

 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

      None.

 
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

      None.

 
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
