PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation, is one of the leading
owners and operators of industrial real estate nationwide. As of December 31,
2000, AMB owned, managed, and had renovation and development projects totaling
92 million square feet and 1,005 buildings in 27 metropolitan markets. Of this,
we owned and operated 862 industrial buildings and eight retail centers,
totaling approximately 77.0 million rentable square feet. As of December 31,
2000, these properties were 96.3% leased. As of December 31, 2000, through our
subsidiary, AMB Investment Management, Inc., we also managed industrial
buildings and retail centers, totaling approximately 4.4 million rentable square
feet on behalf of various institutional investors. In addition, we have invested
in 36 industrial buildings, totaling approximately 4.0 million rentable square
feet, through an unconsolidated joint venture.
Through our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership,
we are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation,
expansion, and development of primarily industrial properties in target markets
nationwide. We refer to AMB Property, L.P. as the operating partnership. As of
December 31, 2000, we owned an approximate 93.5% 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 and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the
operating partnership.
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 and
developments and renovation projects and increase our return on invested capital
as a result of certain fees paid to us. As of December 31, 2000, we had
investments in two co-investment joint ventures, which are consolidated for
financial reporting purposes.
The operating partnership is the managing general partner of AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P. and, together with one of our other
affiliates, owns, as of December 31, 2000, approximately 21% of the partnership
interests in the Alliance Fund I. The Alliance Fund I is a co-investment
partnership between us and AMB Institutional Alliance REIT I, Inc., a limited
partner of the Alliance Fund I, which includes 15 institutional investors as
stockholders and is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation,
management, renovation, expansion, and development of primarily industrial
buildings in target markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2000, the Alliance
Fund I had received equity contributions from third party investors totaling
$169.0 million, which, when combined with anticipated debt financings and our
investment, creates a total planned capitalization of $410.0 million.
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 ending December 31, 1997. As a
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, our own
employees perform our administrative and management functions, rather than our
relying on an outside manager for these services. The principal executive office
of AMB Property Corporation and the operating partnership is located at Pier 1,
Bay 1, San Francisco, CA 94111, and our telephone number is (415) 394-9000. We
also maintain a regional office in Boston, Massachusetts.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," and "our"
refer to AMB Property Corporation, the operating partnership and the other
controlled subsidiaries, and the references to AMB Property Corporation include
the operating partnership and the other controlled subsidiaries. The following

TRANSACTION SUMMARY
During 2000, we invested $730.0 million in operating properties, consisting
of 145 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 10.5 million square feet.
Of this, $185.6 million in operating properties was acquired by the Alliance
Fund I, consisting of 44 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 2.6
million square feet. In 2000, we disposed of one retail center and 25 industrial
buildings and re-invested approximately $175.7 million in 145 industrial
buildings, aggregating approximately 10.5 million rentable square feet.
We had 33 industrial buildings and one retail center that were held for
divestiture as of December 31, 2000. During 2000, we disposed of 25 industrial
buildings and one retail center, aggregating approximately 2.5 million rentable
square feet, for an aggregate price of $175.7 million. Over the next few years,
we intend to dispose of non-strategic assets and redeploy the resulting capital
into properties that better fit our current investment focus.
As of December 31, 2000, we had in our development pipeline 19 industrial
projects, which will total approximately 5.5 million square feet and have a
total estimated investment of $305.9 million upon completion. We also had three
retail projects in our development pipeline, which will total approximately 0.5
million square feet and have a total estimated investment of $76.3 million upon
completion. As of December 31, 2000, we had funded an aggregate of $226.5
million and will need to fund an estimated additional $155.7 million in order to
complete projects currently under construction.
BUSINESS STRATEGIES
Investment Strategy
Our investment strategy is to become a leading provider of High Throughput
Distribution, or HTD, properties located near key passenger and cargo airports,
highway systems, and ports in major metropolitan areas, such as Atlanta,
Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Northern New Jersey/New York City, the San Francisco
Bay Area, Southern California, Miami, and Seattle. Within each of our markets,
we focus our investments in in-fill submarkets. In-fill sub-markets are
characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing
projects.
High Throughput Distribution facilities are designed to serve the
high-speed, high-value freight handling needs of today's supply chain, as
opposed to functioning as long-term storage facilities. We believe that the
rapid growth of the airfreight business and the outsourcing of supply chain
management to third party logistics companies are indicative of the changes that
are occurring in the supply chain and the manner in which goods are distributed.
In addition, we believe that inventory levels as a percentage of final sales are
falling and that goods are moving more rapidly through the supply chain. As a
result, we intend to focus our investment activities primarily on industrial
properties that we believe will benefit from these changes.
Operating Strategy
We are a full-service real estate company with in-house expertise in
acquisitions, development and redevelopment, asset management and leasing,
finance and accounting, and market research. We have long-standing relationships
with many real estate management and development firms across the country, our
Strategic Alliance Partners.
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and that the
most effective way for us to operate is by forging alliances with service
providers in every market. We believe that these collaborations allow us to: 1)
leverage our national presence with the local market expertise of brokers,
developers, and property managers; 2) improve the operating efficiency and
flexibility of our national portfolio; 3) strengthen customer satisfaction and
retention; and 4) provide a continuous pipeline of growth.
2
4
We believe that our partners give us local market expertise and enormous
flexibility allowing us to focus on our core competencies: developing and
refining our strategic approach to real estate investment and management and
raising private capital to finance growth and enhance returns to shareholders.
FINANCING STRATEGY
To maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the rapid deployment of
capital over market cycles, we intend to operate with a debt-to-total market
capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less, although our organizational
documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur.
Additionally, we intend to continue to structure our balance sheet to maintain
investment-grade ratings. We also intend to keep the majority of our assets
unencumbered to facilitate such ratings. As of December 31, 2000, our
debt-to-total market capitalization ratio was 37.9% and our debt-to-total book
capitalization ratio was 44.6%.
We have a $500 million unsecured revolving credit agreement that currently
bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 75 basis points. We use available
borrowings under our unsecured credit facility for property acquisitions,
developments, and for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2000, the
available borrowings under our unsecured credit facility were $284.0 million
(excluding potential expansion capacity). See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources" and "Item 14. Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" included in this report.
Currently, our principal sources of working capital and funding for
acquisitions, development, expansion, and renovation of our properties include:
1) cash flow from operations; 2) borrowings under our unsecured credit facility;
3) other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing; 4) proceeds from equity
or debt offerings by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of
units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries); and 5) proceeds from
divestitures of properties. Additionally, our co-investment program will also
serve as a significant source of capital for acquisitions and developments.
GROWTH STRATEGIES
AMB Investment Management
AMB Investment Management, Inc. provides real estate investment management
services on a fee basis to clients. The operating partnership holds all of the
non-voting preferred stock of AMB Investment Management, which represents a 95%
economic interest. All of the common stock of AMB Investment Management, Inc.,
which represents a 5% economic interest, is owned by our current or former
executive officers and a former executive officer of AMB Investment Management,
Inc.. AMB Investment Management, Inc. conducts its operations through AMB
Investment Management Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership, of
which it is the sole general partner. We intend to grow this business through
our co-investment program.
We co-invest with clients of AMB Investment Management, Inc., to the extent
such clients newly commit investment capital, through partnerships, limited
liability companies, or joint ventures. We currently use a co-investment formula
with each client whereby we will own at least a 20% interest in all ventures. We
currently have two co-investments. The first is a separate account co-investment
venture, in which we own a 50% interest, with total gross book value at December
31, 2000, of $214.1 million. The second is a co-investment fund, AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P., in which we owned at December 31, 2000, a
21% interest, with total gross book value at December 31, 2000, of $339.5
million. In general, we control all significant operating and investment
decisions of our co-investment entities.
Headlands Realty Corporation
Headlands Realty Corporation conducts a variety of businesses that include
incremental income programs, such as our Customer Assist Program and, to a
limited extent, development projects available for sale to third parties. The
operating partnership holds all of the non-voting preferred stock of Headlands
Realty Corporation, which represents a 95% economic interest. All of the common
stock of Headlands Realty
3
5
Corporation, which represents a 5% economic interest, is owned by some of our
current and former executive officers and a director of Headlands Realty
Corporation.
Growth Through Operations
We seek to generate internal growth through rent increases on existing
space and renewal on re-tenanted space, by maintaining a high occupancy rate of
our properties and by controlling expenses by capitalizing on the economies of
owning, operating, and growing a large national portfolio. As of December 31,
2000, our industrial properties and retail centers were 96.4% leased and 93.2%
leased, respectively. During the 12 months ended December 31, 2000, we increased
average base rental rates (on a cash basis) by 26.5% from the expiring rent for
that space, on leases entered into or renewed during such period, representing
approximately 12.1 million rentable square feet. Annualized base rent represents
the monthly contractual amount under existing leases at the end of the year,
multiplied by 12. This amount excludes expense reimbursements, rental
abatements, and percentage rents.
Growth Through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment
We believe that our significant acquisition experience, our alliance-based
operating strategy, and our extensive network of property acquisition sources
will continue to provide opportunities for external growth. We believe that our
relationship with third party local property management firms through our
Management Alliance Program also will create acquisition opportunities as such
managers market properties on behalf of sellers. Our operating structure also
enables us to acquire properties through our UPREIT Alliance Program in exchange
for limited partnership units in the operating partnership, thereby enhancing
our attractiveness to owners and developers seeking to transfer properties on a
tax-deferred basis. In addition to acquisitions, we seek to redeploy capital
from non-strategic assets into properties that better fit our current investment
focus.
We are generally in various stages of negotiations for a number of
acquisitions and dispositions, which 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 acquisitions. Such transactions, if we consummate
them, may be material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital for
acquisitions may include undistributed cash flow from operations, borrowings
under the credit facility, other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing,
issuances of debt or equity securities by us or the operating partnership
(including issuances of units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries),
proceeds from divestitures of properties, and assumption of debt related to the
acquired properties.
Growth Through Development
We believe that renovation and expansion of value-added properties and
development of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should continue
to provide us with attractive opportunities for increased cash flow and a higher
rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of fully leased, renovated
properties. Value-added properties are typically characterized as properties
with available space or near-term leasing exposure, undeveloped land acquired in
connection with another property that provides an opportunity for development,
or properties that are well-located but require redevelopment or renovation.
Value-added properties require significant management attention or capital
investment to maximize their return. We have developed the in-house expertise to
create value through acquiring and managing value-added properties and believe
that our national market presence and expertise will enable us to continue to
generate and capitalize on these opportunities. Through our Development Alliance
Program, we have established strategic alliances with national and regional
developers to enhance our development capabilities.
The multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees provide us with the
skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion, and
development opportunities. Several of our officers have extensive experience in
real estate development, both with us and with national development firms. We
generally pursue development projects in joint ventures with local developers.
This way, we leverage the development skill, access to opportunities, and
capital of such developers, transferring a significant amount of
4
6
the development risk to them and eliminating the need and expense of an in-house
development staff. 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%. Upon completion, we generally would purchase our partner's
interest in the joint venture.
As of December 31, 2000, we had committed to invest $278.5 million to
develop an estimated 5.9 million rentable square feet. Approximately $243.4
million of this investment is through our Development Alliance Program. See Item
2. Properties -- "Operating and Leasing Statistics -- Development Pipeline."

BUSINESS RISKS
See: "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Business Risks" for a complete discussion of the
various risks that could adversely affect us.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The properties that we owned as of December 31, 2000, are divided into two
operating divisions, consisting of 27 identifiable markets. We have provided
this breakdown for external reporting purposes only. It reflects the key markets
of interest to our stockholders and does not reflect how we are operationally
managed. See "Item 14. Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"
for segment information related to our operations.
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
At December 31, 2000, we owned 862 industrial buildings aggregating
approximately 75.8 million rentable square feet, located in 27 markets
nationwide. Our industrial properties accounted for $414.3 million, or 96.3%, of
our total annualized base rent at December 31, 2000. Our industrial properties
were 96.4% leased to over 2,850 customers, the largest of which accounted for no
more than 1.3% of our annualized base rent from our industrial properties.
Property Characteristics. Our industrial properties, which consist
primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple
customers, are typically comprised of multiple buildings. The following table
identifies characteristics of our typical industrial buildings:

Office finish................................. 8% 3% - 20%
Site coverage................................. 40% 35% - 50%
Lease Terms. Our industrial properties are typically subject to lease on a
"triple net basis," in which customers pay their proportionate share of real
estate taxes, insurance, and operating costs, or subject to leases on a
"modified gross basis," in which customers pay expenses over certain threshold
levels. Lease terms typically range from three to ten years, with an average of
six years, excluding renewal options. The majority of the industrial leases do
not include renewal options.
Overview of Major Target Markets. Our industrial properties are located
near key passenger and air cargo airports, key interstate highways, and ports in
major metropolitan areas, such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Northern
New Jersey, the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, Miami, and Seattle.
We believe our industrial properties' strategic location, transportation network
and infrastructure, and large consumer and manufacturing bases support strong
demand for industrial space. According to statistics published by CB Richard
Ellis/Torto Wheaton Research, the national hub markets listed below are six of
the nation's eight largest warehouse markets and, as of December 31, 2000,
comprised 43.2% of the warehouse inventory of the 47 industrial markets tracked.
According to statistics published by Regional Financial Associates, as of
December 31, 2000, the combined population of these markets was 45.6 million and
the amount of per capita warehouse space was 22.7% above the average for those
47 industrial markets.
6
8
Within these metropolitan areas, our industrial properties are concentrated
in locations with limited new construction opportunities within established,
relatively large submarkets, which we believe should provide a higher rate of
occupancy and rent growth than properties located elsewhere. These in-fill
locations are typically near major passenger and air cargo facilities, seaports
or convenient to major highways and rail lines, and are proximate to a diverse
labor pool. There is typically broad demand for industrial space in these
centrally located submarkets due to a diverse mix of industries and types of
industrial uses, including warehouse distribution, light assembly and
manufacturing. We generally avoid locations at the periphery of metropolitan
areas where there are fewer supply constraints. Small metropolitan areas or
cities without a heavy concentration of warehouse activity typically have few,
if any, supply-constrained locations (those areas typified by significant
population densities, a limited number of existing industrial customers and a
low availability of land which could be developed into competitive space for
additional industrial customers).
INDUSTRIAL MARKET OPERATING STATISTICS
As of December 31, 2000, we operated in six hub markets, in addition to 21
other markets nationwide. The following table represents properties in which we
own a fee simple interest or a controlling interest (consolidated), and excludes
properties in which we only own a non-controlling interest (unconsolidated) and
properties under development.

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY SUMMARY
As of December 31, 2000, our 862 industrial buildings were diversified
across 27 markets nationwide. The average age of our industrial properties is 17
years (since the property was built or substantially renovated), which we
believe should result in lower operating costs over the long term. The following

PARTNERSHIPS
Consolidated:
As of December 31, 2000, we held interests in joint ventures, limited
liability companies, and partnerships with certain unaffiliated third parties
through, which are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. In
certain cases such agreements provide that we are a limited partner or that the
other party to the joint venture is principally responsible for day-to-day
management of the property (although in all such cases, we have approval rights
with respect to significant decisions involving the underlying properties).
Under the agreements governing the joint ventures, we and the other party to the
joint venture may be required to make additional capital contributions, and
subject to certain limitations, the joint ventures may incur additional debt.
Such agreements also impose certain restrictions on the transfer of joint
venture interests by us or the other party to the joint venture and provide
certain rights to us or the other party to the joint venture to sell its
interest to the joint venture or to the other join venture partner on terms
specified in the agreement. All of the joint ventures terminate in 2024 or
later, but may end earlier if a joint venture ceases to hold any interest in or
have any obligations relating to the property held by the joint venture.

Unconsolidated:
As of December 31, 2000, we held interests in three equity investment joint
ventures that are unconsolidated in our financial statements. The management and
control over significant aspects of these investments are with the third party
joint venture partner. In addition, as of December 31, 2000, we held two

SECURED DEBT
As of December 31, 2000, we had $930.4 million of indebtedness, net of
unamortized premiums, secured by deeds of trust on 77 properties. As of December
31, 2000, the total gross investment value of those properties secured by debt
was $2.0 billion. Of the $930.4 million of secured indebtedness, $361.8 was
joint venture debt. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" and
"Item 14. Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in this
report. We believe that as of December 31, 2000, the value of the properties
securing the respective obligations in each case exceeded the principal amount
of the outstanding obligations.

In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions relating

(1) Pro forma 1997 financial and other data has been prepared as if our
formation transactions, our initial public offering, and certain property
acquisitions and divestitures in 1997 had occurred on January 1, 1997.
(2) The historical 1997 results represent our predecessor's historical financial
and other data for the period January 1, 1997, through November 25, 1997.
The financial and other data of AMB Property Corporation and the properties
acquired in our formation transactions have been included from November 26,
1997 to December 31, 1997.
(3) Represents our predecessor's historical financial and other data for the
year ended December 31, 1996. Our predecessor operated as an investment
manager prior to November 26, 1997.
(4) Basic and diluted net income per share equals the net income available to
common stockholders divided by 83,697,170 and 84,155,306 shares,
respectively, for 2000; 86,271,862 and 86,347,487 shares, respectively, for
1999; 85,876,383 and 86,235,176 shares, respectively, for 1998; and pro
forma net income divided by 85,874,513 and 86,156,556 shares, respectively,
for 1997.
(5) Adjusted net income per share represents net income before gain on property
dispositions, extraordinary items, and other one-time items. One-time items
related to depreciation expense on assets held for sale.
(6) EBITDA is computed as income from operations before divestiture of
properties and minority interests plus interest expense, income taxes, and
depreciation and amortization. We believe that in addition to cash flows and
net income, EBITDA is a useful financial performance measure for assessing
the operating performance of an equity real estate investment trust because,
together with net income and cash flows, EBITDA provides investors with an
additional basis to evaluate the ability of a real estate investment trust
to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital
expenditures. Includes an adjustment to reflect our pro rata share of EBITDA
in an unconsolidated joint venture. EBITDA is not a measurement of operating
performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and should not be considered as a substitute
for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other
statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA may
not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor be predictive of
potential future results. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of
operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, it is not
necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other real
estate investment trusts.
(7) Funds from Operations, or FFO, is defined as income from operations before
minority interest, gains or losses from sale of real estate, and
extraordinary losses plus real estate depreciation and adjustment to derive
our pro rata share of the FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures, less
minority interests' pro rata share of the FFO of consolidated joint ventures
and perpetual preferred stock dividends. In accordance with the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trust White Paper on funds from
operations, we include the effects of straight-line rents in funds from
operations. We believe that funds from operations is an appropriate measure
of performance for an equity real estate investment trust. While funds from
operations 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and it should not be considered as an
alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating
performance. Further, funds from operations as disclosed by other real
estate investment trusts may not be comparable.
(8) Secured debt includes unamortized debt premiums of approximately $9.9
million, $10.1 million, $15.2 million, and $18.3 million as of December 31,
2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. See Notes 2 and 6 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
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. 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 be
achieved or occur. 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:
- defaults or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
- increased interest rates and operating costs;
- our failure to obtain necessary outside financing;
- difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting
acquisitions;
- our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations;
- our failure to divest of properties that we have contracted to sell or to
timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures;
- risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction
(including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain
necessary permits, and public opposition to these activities);
- our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate
investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;
- environmental uncertainties;
- risks related to natural disasters;
- financial market fluctuations;
- risks arising from the California energy shortage;
- changes in real estate and zoning laws; and
- increases in real property tax rates.
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, including interest
rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population
changes, and those risk factors discussed in the section entitled "Business
Risks" in this report. 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 or as of the dates indicated in the statements.
GENERAL
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in
connection 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 the operating
partnership were formed shortly before the consummation of our initial public
offering.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The analysis below includes changes attributable to acquisitions,
development activity, and divestitures and the changes resulting from properties
that we owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods,
excluding development properties prior to being stabilized (defined as the
earlier of 90% leased or 12 months after receipt of the certificate of
occupancy). We refer to these properties as the same store properties. For the
comparison between 2000 and 1999, the same store properties consisted of
properties aggregating approximately 52.5 million square feet. The properties
acquired in 1999 consisted of 154 buildings, aggregating approximately 8.4
million square feet, and the properties acquired during 2000 consisted of 145
buildings, aggregating approximately 10.5 million square feet. In 1999, property
divestitures consisted of 30 retail centers and 15 industrial buildings,
aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet, and property divestitures
during 2000 consisted of 25 industrial buildings and one retail center,
aggregating approximately 2.5 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 their historical rates.

The growth in rental revenues in same store properties resulted primarily
from the incremental effect of cash rental rate increases, fixed rent increases
on existing leases, increases in occupancy and reimbursement of expenses,
partially offset by a decrease in straight-line rents. During 2000, the same
store base rents increase on renewals and rollovers (cash basis) was 28.0% on
9.8 million square feet leased.

primarily to increased Alliance Fund I acquisition fees, interest income, and
development fees, partially offset by the write-down of one of our investments
in other companies.

The increase in interest expense was due primarily to the increase in the
outstanding balance under our unsecured credit facility. The increase in
depreciation expense was primarily due to lower than normal depreciation expense
in 1999 and increases in our investments in real estate. Under the required
accounting for assets held for sale, we discontinued depreciation of a
substantial portion of our retail portfolio after we committed to dispose of a
portion of the portfolio in March 1999. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses was due to increased allocations to our investment
management group, partially offset by increased personnel costs.

The growth in rental revenues in same store properties resulted primarily
from the incremental effect of cash rental rate increases, changes in occupancy

straight-line rents. During 1999, the increase in base rents (cash basis) for
same store properties was 12.7% on 6.8 million square feet leased.

The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher interest rates
and a full year of interest expense in 1999 attributable to our $400.0 million
unsecured senior debt securities. The increase in depreciation expense was
primarily due to our real estate acquisitions in 1998 and 1999, partially offset
by the discontinuation of depreciation on held-for-sale retail assets. Internal
management costs of $7.7 million for 1998 were reclassified from property
operating expenses to general and administrative expenses to conform with the
1999 presentation. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily attributable to additional staffing that resulted from growth in our
portfolio and the change in our accounting policy for capitalizing internal
acquisition costs. Effective during the second quarter of 1998, we changed our
policy to expense all internal acquisition costs in accordance with EITF 97-11.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and
funding for acquisitions, development, expansion, and renovation of properties
will include 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), and
net proceeds from divestitures of properties. Additionally, our co-investment
program will also serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and
developments. We believe that our sources of working capital 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.
Capital Resources
Property Divestitures. In 2000, we sold 25 industrial buildings and one
retail center for an aggregate price of $175.7 million. These divestitures
resulted in an aggregate net gain of $7.0 million. The joint venture that sold
the retail center carries an 8.75% interest only mortgage note receivable in the
principal amount of $79.0 million. This mortgage note has a one-year term and
has a one-year extension option.
Properties Held for Divestiture. We have decided to divest ourselves of 33
industrial buildings and one retail center, which are not in our core markets or
which do not meet our strategic objectives. The divestitures of the properties
are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions.
As of December 31, 2000, the net carrying value of the properties held for
divestiture was $197.1 million.
Credit Facilities. In May 2000, the operating partnership entered into a
new $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement, which replaced its
previous $500.0 million credit facility, which matured in November 2000. We are
the guarantor of the operating partnership's obligations under the credit
facility. Our credit facility is with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York,
as administrative agent, and a syndicate of 12 other banks. The new credit
facility matures in May 2003, has a one-year extension option, and is subject to
a 15 basis point annual facility fee. The operating partnership has the ability
to increase available borrowings up to $700.0 million by adding additional banks
to the facility or obtaining the agreement of existing banks to increase their
commitments. We use our unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions
and for general working capital requirements. Borrowings under our credit
facility currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points. At December 31,
2000, the outstanding balance on our unsecured credit facility
25
27
was $216.0 million and it bore interest at a weighted average rate of 7.5%.
Monthly debt service payments on our credit facility are interest only. The
total amount available under our credit facility fluctuates based upon the
borrowing base, as defined in the agreement governing the credit facility. At
December 31, 2000, the remaining amount available under our unsecured credit
facility was $284.0 million (excluding the additional $200.0 million of
potential additional capacity).
In addition, we had an $80.0 million unsecured credit facility held through
our investment in the Alliance Fund I. The debt was secured by the unfunded
capital commitments of the third party investors in the Alliance REIT I, a
limited partner of the Alliance Fund I. Since there are no remaining unfunded
capital commitments, the Alliance Fund I paid off the outstanding balance and
closed this credit facility in the third quarter.
Equity. On September 1, 2000, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our
subsidiaries, issued and sold 840,000 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Limited Partnership Units at a price of $50.00 per unit in a private
placement. Distributions are cumulative from the date of issuance and payable
quarterly in arrears at a rate per unit equal to $4.0625 per annum. The Series H
Preferred Units are redeemable by AMB Property II, L.P. on or after September 1,
2005, subject to certain conditions, for cash at a redemption price equal to
$50.00 per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon, if any, to
the redemption date. The Series H Preferred Units are exchangeable, at specified
times and subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of
our Series H Preferred Stock. AMB Property II, L.P. used the net proceeds of
$41.0 million to repay advances from the operating partnership and to make a
loan to the operating partnership. The operating partnership used the funds to
partially repay borrowings under its unsecured credit facility and for general
corporate purposes. The loan bears interest at 8.0% per annum and is payable on
demand.
On August 29, 2000, AMB Property II, L.P. issued and sold 20,000 7.95%
Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units at a price of
$50.00 per unit in a private placement. Distributions are cumulative from the
date of issuance and payable quarterly in arrears at a rate per unit equal to
$3.975 per annum. The Series G Preferred Units are redeemable by AMB Property
II, L.P. on or after August 29, 2005, subject to certain conditions, for cash at
a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid
distributions thereon, if any, to the redemption date. The Series G Preferred
Units are exchangeable, at specified times and subject to certain conditions, on
a one-for-one basis, for shares of our Series G Preferred Stock. AMB Property
II, L.P. used the net proceeds of $1.0 million to repay advances from the
operating partnership. The operating partnership used the funds for general
corporate purposes.
On March 22, 2000, AMB Property II, L.P. issued and sold 397,439 7.95%
Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units at a price of
$50.00 per unit in a private placement. Distributions are cumulative from the
date of issuance and payable quarterly in arrears at a rate per unit equal to
$3.975 per annum. The Series F Preferred Units are redeemable by AMB Property
II, L.P. on or after March 22, 2005, subject to certain conditions, for cash at
a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid
distributions thereon, if any, to the redemption date. The Series F Preferred
Units are exchangeable, at specified times and subject to certain conditions, on
a one-for-one basis, for shares of our Series F Preferred Stock. AMB Property
II, L.P. loaned the net proceeds of $19.6 million to the operating partnership.
The operating partnership used the funds to partially repay borrowings under its
unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The loan bears
interest at 7.0% per annum and is payable upon demand.
At the time of our initial public offering, 4,237,750 shares of common
stock, known as performance shares, were placed in escrow by certain of our
investors, which were subject to advisory agreements with our predecessor that
included incentive fee provisions. On January 7, 2000, 2,771,824 shares of
common stock were released from escrow to these investors and 1,465,926 shares
of common stock were returned to us and cancelled. The cancelled shares of
common stock represent indirect interests in the operating partnership that were
reallocated from us (thereby decreasing the number of shares of common stock
outstanding) to other unitholders who had an ownership interest in our
predecessor, including certain of our executive officers (thereby increasing the
number of limited partnership units owned by partners other than us). The total
26
28
number of outstanding partnership units did not change as a result of this
reallocation. This reallocation did not change the amount of fully diluted
shares of common stock and limited partnership units outstanding.
In November 2000, the operating partnership issued an aggregate of 94,771
limited partnership units with an aggregate value of approximately $2.2 million
to three limited partnerships. These limited partnership units were issued in
partial consideration for the acquisition of properties. Holders of the limited
partnership units may redeem part or all of their limited partnership units for
cash or, at our election, exchange their limited partnership units for shares of
our common stock on a one-for-one basis. During 2000, 34,046 limited partnership
units were redeemed for cash and 206,423 limited partnership units were redeemed
for shares of our common stock.
Our board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program for the
repurchase of up to $100.0 million worth of our common stock. During 2000, we
did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. Our stock repurchase program
expires in December 2001.
Debt. At December 31, 2000, the aggregate principal amount of our secured
debt was $930.4 million, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $9.9 million.
The secured debt bears interest at rates varying from 4.0% to 10.4% per annum
(with a weighted average rate of 7.9%) and final maturity dates ranging from
April 2001 to June 2023. All of the secured debt bears interest at fixed rates,
except for two loans with an aggregate principal amount of $29.8 million as of
December 31, 2000, which bear interest at variable rates. As of December 31,
2000, the estimated fair value of the secured debt was $956.1 million.
In 2000, the operating partnership commenced a medium-term note program for
the issuance of up to $400.0 million in principal amount of medium-term notes,
which will be guaranteed by us. As of December 31, 2000, the operating
partnership had issued $280.0 million of medium-term notes under this program
and in January 2001, the operating partnership issued an additional $25.0
million of medium term notes, leaving $95.0 million available for issuance under
this program. In December 2000, the operating partnership issued and sold $150.0
million of the notes under this program to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and J. P.
Morgan as principals. We have guaranteed the notes, which mature on December 15,
2005, and bear interest at 7.2% per annum. The operating partnership used the
net proceeds of $148.9 million for general corporate purposes, to partially
repay indebtedness, and for the acquisition and development of properties. In
October 2000, the operating partnership issued and sold $75.0 million of the
notes under this program to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and J. P. Morgan as
principals. We have guaranteed the notes, which mature on November 1, 2010, and
bear interest at 8.0% per annum. The operating partnership used the net proceeds
of $74.5 million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay
indebtedness, and for the acquisition and development of properties. In August
and September 2000, the operating partnership issued and sold $55.0 million of
the notes under this program to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter as principal. We have
guaranteed the notes, which mature on August 20, 2007, and bear interest at
7.925% per annum. The operating partnership used the net proceeds of $54.8
million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay indebtedness, and for
the acquisition and development of properties.
In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the rapid
deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend to operate with
a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less.
Additionally, we presently manage our capitalization in order to maintain an
investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. In spite of these
policies, our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the
amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our board of directors
could alter or eliminate these policies.

Liquidity
As of December 31, 2000, we had approximately $20.4 million in cash and
cash equivalents and $284.0 million of additional available borrowings under our
credit facility. We intend to use: 1) cash from operations; 2) borrowings under
our credit facility; 3) other forms of secured and unsecured financing; 4)
proceeds from any future debt or equity offerings by us or the operating
partnership (including issuances of limited partnership units in the operating
partnership or its subsidiaries); 5) proceeds from divestitures of properties,
and 6) private capital to fund acquisitions, development activities, and capital
expenditures and provide for general working capital requirements.
The following table sets forth the dividend payments that were declared in

For the year ended December 31, 2000, approximately 82% of our common
dividend was classified as ordinary taxable income and approximately 18%
represented capital gains. We had no return of capital. We currently intend to
payout 100% of our taxable income, including capital gains, each year in the
form of dividends and distributions and to have no return of capital for federal
income tax purposes.
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
29
31
or equity financings or property divestitures. However, we may not be able to
obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all.
Capital Commitments
In addition to recurring capital expenditures and costs to renew or
re-tenant space, as of December 31, 2000, we are developing and renovating 19
industrial projects representing a total estimated investment of $305.9 million
upon completion and three retail projects representing a total estimated
investment of $76.3 million upon completion. Of this total, $162.9 million had
been funded as of December 31, 2000, and approximately $143.0 million is
estimated to be 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, and net proceeds from property divestitures.
We have no other material capital commitments.
During the year ended December 31, 2000, we invested $730.0 million in 145
operating industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 10.5 million rentable
square feet. We funded these acquisitions and initiated development and
renovation projects through borrowings under our credit facility, cash, debt and
equity issuances, and net proceeds from property divestitures.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
In addition to net income and adjusted net income, we believe that funds
from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts, is an appropriate supplemental measure of performance for an
equity real estate investment trust. While funds from operations 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and it should
not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating liquidity
or operating performance. Further, funds from operations as disclosed by other
real estate investment trusts may not be comparable.
The following table reflects the calculation of funds from operations for
the fiscal years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands, except share and per

(1) Funds from operations, or FFO, is defined as income from operations before
minority interest, gains or losses from sale of real estate, and
extraordinary items plus real estate depreciation and adjustment to derive
our pro rata share of the funds from operations of unconsolidated joint
ventures, less minority interests' pro rata share of the funds from
operations of consolidated joint ventures and perpetual preferred stock
dividends. In accordance with the NAREIT White Paper on funds from
operations, we include the effects of straight-line rents in funds from
operations. Further, we do not adjust funds from operations to eliminate the
effects of non-recurring charges.
(2) Represents FFO attributable to minority interest in consolidated joint
ventures for the period presented, which has been computed as minority
interests' share of net income plus minority interests' share of real
estate-related depreciation and amortization of the consolidated joint
ventures for such period. These minority interests are not convertible into
shares of common stock.
(3) Represents our pro rata share of FFO in unconsolidated joint ventures for
the period presented, which has been computed as our share of net income
plus our share of real estate-related depreciation and amortization of the
unconsolidated joint ventures for such period.
(4) Includes the dilutive effect of stock options.

BUSINESS RISKS
Our operations involve various risks that could have adverse consequences
to us. These risks include, among others:
GENERAL REAL ESTATE RISKS
THERE ARE FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL THAT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE AND VALUE
OF OUR PROPERTIES
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The
yields available from equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of
income earned and capital appreciation generated by the related properties as
well as the expenses incurred in connection with the properties. If our
properties do not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses,
including debt service and capital expenditures, then our ability to pay
dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected. Income from, and the
value of, our properties may be adversely affected by the general economic
climate, local conditions such as oversupply of industrial space, or a reduction
in demand for industrial space, the attractiveness of our properties to
potential customers, competition from other properties, our ability to provide
adequate maintenance and insurance, and an increase in operating costs. In
addition, revenues from properties and real estate values are also affected by
factors such as the cost of compliance with regulations, the potential for
liability under applicable laws (including changes in tax laws), interest rate
levels, and the availability of financing. Our income would be adversely
affected if a significant number of customers were unable to pay rent or if we
were unable to rent our industrial space on favorable terms. Certain significant
expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as mortgage
payments, real estate taxes, and maintenance costs) generally do not decline
when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RENEW LEASES OR RELET SPACE AS LEASES EXPIRE
We are subject to the risks that leases may not be renewed, space may not
be relet, or the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of required
renovations) may be less favorable than current lease terms. Leases on a total
of 15.6% of our properties (based on annualized base rent) as of December 31,
2000, will expire on or prior to December 31, 2001. In addition, numerous
properties compete with our properties in attracting customers to lease space,
particularly with respect to retail centers. The number of competitive
commercial properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect
on our ability to lease space in our properties and on the rents that we are
able to charge. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and
our ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock could be
adversely affected if we are unable to promptly relet or renew the leases for
all or a substantial portion of expiring leases, if the rental rates upon
renewal or reletting is significantly lower than expected, or if our reserves
for these purposes prove inadequate.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS ARE ILLIQUID
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to
vary our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions is
limited. The limitations in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations on
a real estate investment trust holding property for sale may affect our ability
to sell properties without adversely affecting dividends to our stockholders.
The relative illiquidity of our holdings and Internal Revenue Code prohibitions
and related regulations could impede our ability to respond to adverse changes
in the performance of our investments and could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to pay dividends
on, and the market price of, our stock.
A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA
Our properties located in California as of December 31, 2000, represented
approximately 24.2% of the aggregate square footage of our properties as of
December 31, 2000, and 29.6% of our annualized base rent. Annualized base rent
means the monthly contractual amount under existing leases at December 31, 2000,
multiplied by 12. This amount excludes expense reimbursements and rental
abatements. Our revenue from, and the value of, our properties located in
California may be affected by a number of factors, including local
32
34
real estate conditions (such as oversupply of or reduced demand for industrial
properties) and the local economic climate. Business layoffs, downsizing,
industry slowdowns, changing demographics, and other factors may adversely
impact the local economic climate. A downturn in either the California economy
or in California real estate conditions could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to pay dividends
on, and the market price of, our stock. Certain of our properties are also
subject to possible loss from seismic activity.
RISING ENERGY COSTS AND POWER OUTAGES IN CALIFORNIA MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT
ON OUR OPERATIONS AND REVENUE
Problems associated with deregulation of the electricity industry in
California have resulted in intermittent service interruptions and significantly
higher costs in some areas. Properties located within municipalities that either
do not produce their own power or have not entered into long-term, fixed-price
contracts may be subject to intermittent service interruptions or significant
rate increases from their utility providers. Most of our properties located in
California are subject to leases that require our tenants to pay all utility
costs. The remainder of our California leases provide that tenants will
reimburse us for utility costs in excess of a base year amount. Although we have
not experienced any material losses resulting from electric deregulation, it is
possible that some of our tenants will not fulfill their lease obligations and
reimburse us for their share of any significant rate increases and that we will
not be able to retain or replace our tenants if energy problems in California
continue.
OUR PROPERTIES ARE CURRENTLY CONCENTRATED IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
Our properties are currently concentrated predominantly in the industrial
real estate sector. Our concentration in a certain property type may expose us
to the risk of economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our
portfolio also included other property types. As a result of such concentration,
economic downturns in the industrial real estate sector could have an adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability
to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
SOME POTENTIAL LOSSES ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, and rental loss
insurance covering all of our properties, with policy specifications and insured
limits that we believe are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances
given relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage, and industry practice.
There are, however, certain losses that are not generally insured because it is
not economically feasible to insure against them, including losses due to riots
or acts of war. Certain losses such as losses due to floods or seismic activity
may be insured subject to certain limitations including large deductibles or
co-payments and policy limits. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of
insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we
could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated
future revenue from the properties and, in the case of debt, which is with
recourse to us, we would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other
financial obligations related to the properties. Moreover, as the general
partner of the operating partnership, we will generally be liable for all of the
operating partnership's unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse
obligations. Any such liability could adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the
market price of, our stock.
A number of our properties are located in areas that are known to be
subject to earthquake activity, including California where, as of December 31,
2000, 247 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 18.6 million rentable
square feet (representing 24.2% of our properties based on aggregate square
footage and 29.6% based on annualized base rent) are located. We carry
replacement cost earthquake insurance on all of our properties located in areas
historically subject to seismic activity, subject to coverage limitations and
deductibles that we believe are commercially reasonable. This insurance coverage
also applies to the properties managed by AMB Investment Management, with a
single aggregate policy limit and deductible applicable to those properties and
our properties. The operating partnership owns 100% of the non-voting preferred
stock of AMB Investment Management. Through an annual analysis prepared by
outside consultants, we evaluate our earthquake insurance coverage in light of
current industry practice and determine the appropriate amount of
33
35
earthquake insurance to carry. We may incur material losses in excess of
insurance proceeds and we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance at
commercially reasonable rates.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND LIABILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH PROPERTIES OWNED
THROUGH JOINT VENTURES, LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES, AND PARTNERSHIPS
As of December 31, 2000, we had ownership interests in 30 joint ventures,
limited liability companies, or partnerships with third parties, as well as
interests in three unconsolidated entities. As of December 31, 2000, we owned
approximately 15.5 million square feet (excluding the three unconsolidated joint
ventures) of our properties through these entities. We may make additional
investments through these ventures in the future and presently plan to do so
with clients of AMB Investment Management, Inc. and certain Development Alliance
Partners, who share certain approval rights over major decisions. Partnership,
limited liability company, or joint venture investments may involve risks such
as the following:
- our partners, co-members, or joint venturers might become bankrupt (in
which event we and any other remaining general partners, members, or
joint venturers would generally remain liable for the liabilities of the
partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture);
- our partners, co-members, or joint venturers might at any time have
economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with
our business interests or goals;
- our partners, co-members, or joint venturers may be in a position to take
action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies, or objectives,
including our current policy with respect to maintaining our
qualification as a real estate investment trust; and
- agreements governing joint ventures, limited liability companies, and
partnerships often contain restrictions on the transfer of a joint
venturer's, member's, or partner's interest or "buy-sell" or other
provisions, which may result in a purchase or sale of the interest at a
disadvantageous time or on disadvantageous terms.
We will, however, generally seek to maintain sufficient control of our
partnerships, limited liability companies, and joint ventures to permit us to
achieve our business objectives. Our organizational documents do not limit the
amount of available funds that we may invest in partnerships, limited liability
companies, or joint ventures. The occurrence of one or more of the events
described above could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results
of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price
of, our stock.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONSUMMATE ACQUISITIONS ON ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS
We intend to continue to acquire primarily industrial properties.
Acquisitions of properties entail risks that investments will fail to perform in
accordance with expectations. Estimates of the costs of improvements necessary
for us to bring an acquired property up to market standards may prove
inaccurate. In addition, there are general investment risks associated with any
new real estate investment. Further, we anticipate significant competition for
attractive investment opportunities from other major real estate investors with
significant capital including both publicly traded real estate investment trusts
and private institutional investment funds. We expect that future acquisitions
will be financed through a combination of borrowings under our unsecured credit
facility, proceeds from equity or debt offerings by us or the operating
partnership (including issuances of limited partnership units by the operating
partnership or its subsidiaries), and proceeds from property divestitures, which
could have an adverse effect on our cash flow. We may not be able to acquire
additional properties. Our inability to finance any future acquisitions on
favorable terms or the failure of acquisitions to conform with our expectations
or investment criteria, or our failure to timely reinvest the proceeds from
property divestitures could adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of,
our stock.
34
36
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE RENOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT ON ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS
The real estate development business, including the renovation and
rehabilitation of existing properties, involves significant risks. These risks
include the following:
- we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms for development
projects and we may not complete construction on schedule or within
budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction
costs and delays in leasing such properties and generating cash flow;
- we may not be able to obtain, or we may experience delays in obtaining,
all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other required
governmental permits and authorizations;
- new or renovated properties may perform below anticipated levels,
producing cash flow below budgeted amounts;
- substantial renovation as well as new development activities, regardless
of whether or not they are ultimately successful, typically require a
substantial portion of management's time and attention that could divert
management's time from our day-to-day operations; and
- activities that we finance through construction loans involve the risk
that, upon completion of construction, we may not be able to obtain
permanent financing or we may not be able to obtain permanent financing
on advantageous terms.
These risks could have an adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the
market price of, our stock.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE DIVESTITURES ON ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS
We intend to dispose of properties from time to time that do not conform
with our current investment strategy or that we have otherwise determined should
be divested, including, as of December 31, 2000, 33 industrial buildings and one
retail center, which are held for divestiture. Our ability to dispose of
properties on advantageous terms is dependent upon factors beyond our control,
including competition from other owners (including other real estate investment
trusts) that are attempting to dispose of industrial and retail properties and
the availability of financing on attractive terms for potential buyers of our
properties. Our inability to dispose of properties on favorable terms or our
inability to redeploy the proceeds of property divestitures in accordance with
our investment strategy could adversely our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of,
our stock.
DEBT FINANCING
WE COULD INCUR MORE DEBT
We operate with a policy of incurring debt, either directly or through our
subsidiaries, only if upon such incurrence our debt-to-total market
capitalization ratio would be approximately 45% or less. The aggregate amount of
indebtedness that we may incur under our policy varies directly with the
valuation of our capital stock and the number of shares of capital stock
outstanding. Accordingly, we would be able to incur additional indebtedness
under our policy as a result of increases in the market price per share of our
common stock or other outstanding classes of capital stock, and future issuance
of shares of our capital stock. In spite of this policy, our organizational
documents do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we
may incur. Accordingly, our board of directors could alter or eliminate this
policy. If we change this policy, then we could become more highly leveraged,
resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay
dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
35
37
SCHEDULED DEBT PAYMENTS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including
the risks that cash flow will be insufficient to pay dividends to our
stockholders, that we will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness on our
properties (which in all cases will not have been fully amortized at maturity)
and that the terms of refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of
existing indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2000, we had total debt outstanding of approximately
$1.8 billion including:
- $930.4 million of secured indebtedness (excluding unamortized debt
premiums) with an average maturity of 5.4 years and a weighted average
interest rate of 7.9%;
- $216.0 million outstanding under our unsecured $500.0 million credit
facility with a maturity date of May 2003 and an interest rate of LIBOR
plus 75 basis points (a weighted average interest rate of 7.5% as of
December 31, 2000); and
- $680.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior debt
securities with maturities between 2005 and 2018 and a weighted average
interest rate of 7.3%.
We guarantee the operating partnership's obligations with respect to the
senior debt securities referenced above. If we are unable to refinance or extend
principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds of other capital
transactions, then we expect that our cash flow will not be sufficient in all
years to pay dividends to our stockholders and to repay all such maturing debt.
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 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. In addition, if we mortgage one or more of our properties to secure
payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, then the
property could be foreclosed upon or transferred to the mortgagee with a
consequent loss of income and asset value. A foreclosure on one or more of our
properties could adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of,
our stock.
RISING INTEREST RATES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CASH FLOW
As of December 31, 2000, we had approximately $216.0 million outstanding
under our unsecured credit facility. In addition, we may incur other variable
rate indebtedness in the future. Increases in interest rates on this
indebtedness could increase our interest expense, which would adversely affect
our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay
dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. Accordingly, we may in the
future engage in transactions to limit our exposure to rising interest rates.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON EXTERNAL SOURCES OF CAPITAL
In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal
Revenue Code, we are required each year to distribute to our stockholders at
least 95% (90% for years beginning on or after January 1, 2001) of our real
estate investment trust taxable income (determined without regard to the
dividends-paid deduction and by excluding any net capital gain) and we are
subject to tax on our income to the extent it is not distributed. Because of
this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund all future capital
needs, including capital needs in connection with acquisitions, from cash
retained from operations. As a result, to fund capital needs, we rely on third
party sources of capital, which we may not be able to obtain on favorable terms
or at all. Our access to third party sources of capital depends upon a number of
factors, including: 1) general market conditions; 2) the market's perception of
our growth potential; 3) our current and potential future earnings and cash
distributions; and 4) the market price of our capital stock. Additional debt
financing may substantially increase our leverage.
36
38
WE COULD DEFAULT ON CROSS-COLLATERALIZED AND CROSS-DEFAULTED DEBT
As of December 31, 2000, we had 18 non-recourse secured loans, which are
cross-collateralized by 20 properties. As of December 31, 2000, we had
approximately $240.9 million (not including unamortized debt premium)
outstanding on these loans. If we default on any of these loans, then we will be
required to repay the aggregate of all indebtedness, together with applicable
prepayment charges, to avoid foreclosure on all the cross-collateralized
properties within the applicable pool. Foreclosure on our properties, or our
inability to refinance our loans on favorable terms, could adversely impact our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay
dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. In addition, our credit
facility and the senior debt securities of the operating partnership contain
certain cross-default provisions, which are triggered in the event that our
other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may
require us to repay or restructure the credit facility and the senior debt
securities in addition to any mortgage or other debt that is in default, which
could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
CONTINGENT OR UNKNOWN LIABILITIES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our predecessors have been in existence for varying lengths of time up to
18 years. At the time of our formation we acquired the assets of these entities
subject to all of their potential existing liabilities. There may be current
liabilities or future liabilities arising from prior activities that we are not
aware of and therefore have not disclosed in this report. We assumed these
liabilities as the surviving entity in the various merger and contribution
transactions that occurred at the time of our formation. Existing liabilities
for indebtedness generally were taken into account in connection with the
allocation of the operating partnership's limited partnership units or shares of
our common stock in the formation transactions, but no other liabilities were
taken into account for these purposes. We do not have recourse against our
predecessors or any of their respective stockholders or partners or against any
individual account investors with respect to any unknown liabilities. Unknown
liabilities might 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 the formation transactions that had not been
asserted prior to the 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.
Certain customers may claim that the formation transactions gave rise to a
right to purchase the premises that they occupy. We do not believe any such
claims would be material and, to date, no such claims have been filed. See
"-- Government Regulations -- We Could Encounter Costly Environmental Problems"
below regarding the possibility of undisclosed environmental conditions
potentially affecting the value of our properties. Undisclosed material
liabilities in connection with the acquisition of properties, entities and
interests in properties, or entities could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on,
and the market price of, our stock.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
SOME OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ARE INVOLVED IN OTHER REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES AND
INVESTMENTS
Some of our executive officers own interests in real estate-related
businesses and investments. These interests include minority ownership of
Institutional Housing Partners, L.P., a residential housing finance company, and
ownership of AMB Development, Inc. and AMB Development, L.P., developers that
own property not suitable for ownership by us. AMB Development, Inc. and AMB
Development, L.P. have agreed not to initiate any new development projects
following our initial public offering in November 1997. These entities have also
agreed that they will not make any further investments in industrial properties
other than
37
39
those currently under development at the time of our initial public offering.
AMB Development, Inc. and AMB Development, L.P. continue to use the name "AMB"
pursuant to royalty-free license arrangements. The continued involvement in
other real estate-related activities by some of our executive officers and
directors could divert management's attention from our day-to-day operations.
Most of our executive officers have entered into non-competition agreements with
us pursuant to which they have agreed not to engage in any activities, directly
or indirectly, in respect of commercial real estate, and not to make any
investment in respect of industrial real estate, other than through ownership of
not more than 5% of the outstanding shares of a public company engaged in such
activities or through the existing investments referred to in this report. State
law may limit our ability to enforce these agreements.
We could also, in the future, subject to the unanimous approval of the
disinterested members of the board of directors with respect to such
transaction, acquire property from executive officers, enter into leases with
executive officers, or engage in other related activities in which the interests
pursued by the executive officers may not be in the best interests of our
stockholders.
CERTAIN OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
WITH US IN CONNECTION WITH OTHER PROPERTIES THAT THEY OWN OR CONTROL
As of December 31, 2000, AMB Development, L.P. owns interests in 10 retail
development projects in the U.S., eight of which are single free-standing
Walgreens drugstores and two are Walgreens drugstores plus shop buildings, which
are less than 10,000 feet. In addition, Messrs. Abbey, Moghadam, and Burke, each
a founder and director, own less than 1% interests in two partnerships that own
office buildings in various markets; these interests have negligible value. Luis
A. Belmonte, an executive officer, owns less than a 10% interest, representing
an estimated value of $150,000, in a limited partnership, which owns an office
building located in Oakland, California.
In addition, several of our executive officers individually own:
- less than 1% interests in the stocks of certain publicly-traded real
estate investment trusts;
- certain interests in and rights to developed and undeveloped real
property located outside the United States; and
- certain other de minimus holdings in equity securities of real estate
companies.
Thomas W. Tusher, a member of our board of directors, is a limited partner
in a partnership in which Messrs. Abbey, Moghadam, and Burke are general
partners and which owns a 75% interest in an office building. Mr. Tusher owns a
20% interest in the partnership, valued at approximately $1.2 million. Messrs.
Abbey, Moghadam, and Burke each have a 26.7% interest in the partnership, each
valued at approximately $1.6 million.
We believe that the properties and activities set forth above generally do
not directly compete with any of our properties. However, it is possible that a
property in which an executive officer or director, or an affiliate of an
executive officer or director, has an interest may compete with us in the future
if we were to invest in a property similar in type and in close proximity to
that property. In addition, the continued involvement by our executive officers
and directors in these properties could divert management's attention from our
day-to-day operations. Our policy prohibits us from acquiring any properties
from our executive officers or their affiliates without the approval of the
disinterested members of our board of directors with respect to that
transaction.
OUR ROLE AS GENERAL PARTNER OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP MAY CONFLICT WITH THE
INTERESTS OF STOCKHOLDERS
As the general partner of the operating partnership, we have fiduciary
obligations to the operating partnership's limited partners, the discharge of
which may conflict with the interests of our stockholders. In addition, those
persons holding limited partnership units will have the right to vote as a class
on certain amendments to the partnership agreement of the operating partnership
and individually to approve certain amendments that would adversely affect their
rights. The limited partners may exercise these voting rights in a manner that
conflicts with the interests of our stockholders. In addition, under the terms
of the operating
38
40
partnership's partnership agreement, holders of limited partnership units will
have certain approval rights with respect to certain transactions that affect
all stockholders but which they may not exercise in a manner that reflects the
interests of all stockholders.
OUR DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND SIGNIFICANT STOCKHOLDERS COULD ACT IN A
MANNER THAT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL STOCKHOLDERS
As of March 20, 2001, our three largest stockholders, Cohen & Steers
Capital Management, Inc. (with respect to various client accounts for which
Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. serves as investment advisor), European
Investors Inc. (with respect to various client accounts for which European
Investors Inc. serves as investment advisor), and Capital Research and
Management Company (with respect to various client accounts for which Capital
Research and Management Company serves as investment advisor) beneficially owned
approximately 18.3% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, our executive
officers and directors beneficially owned approximately 5.1% of our outstanding
common stock as of March 20, 2001, and will have influence on our management and
operation and, as stockholders, will have influence on the outcome of any
matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. This influence might be
exercised in a manner that is inconsistent with the interests of other
stockholders. Although there is no understanding or arrangement for these
directors, officers, and stockholders and their affiliates to act in concert,
these parties would be in a position to exercise significant influence over our
affairs if they choose to do so.
WE COULD INVEST IN REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES
We may invest in mortgages, and may do so as a strategy for ultimately
acquiring the underlying property. In general, investments in mortgages include
the risks that borrowers may not be able to make debt service payments or pay
principal when due, that the value of the mortgaged property may be less than
the principal amount of the mortgage note secured by the property and that
interest rates payable on the mortgages may be lower than our cost of funds to
acquire these mortgages. In any of these events, our funds from operations and
our ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock could be
adversely affected.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to our properties and
changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and
the courts, occur frequently.
COSTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, places of public accommodation
must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled
persons. Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act might require us to
remove structural barriers to handicapped access in certain public areas where
such removal is "readily achievable." If we fail to comply with the Americans
with Disabilities Act, then we might be required to pay fines to the government
or damages to private litigants. The impact of application of the Americans with
Disabilities Act to our properties, including the extent and timing of required
renovations, is uncertain. If we are required to make unanticipated expenditures
to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, then our cash flow and the
amounts available for dividends to our stockholders may be adversely affected.
WE COULD ENCOUNTER ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
Federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the protection
of the environment impose liability on a current or previous owner or operator
of real estate for contamination resulting from the presence or discharge of
hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at the property. A current
or previous owner may be required to investigate and clean up contamination at
or migrating from a site. These laws typically impose liability and clean-up
responsibility without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused
the presence of the contaminants. Even if more than one person may have been
responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws
may be held responsible for all of the clean-up
39
41
costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the owner or operator of a
site for damages based on personal injury, property damage, or other costs,
including investigation and clean-up costs, resulting from environmental
contamination present at or emanating from that site.
Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of
asbestos. These laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing
asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, that they adequately inform
or train those who may come into contact with asbestos, and that they undertake
special precautions, including removal or other abatement in the event that
asbestos is disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building. These laws
may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to
comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from
owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos
fibers. Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building
materials.
Some of our properties are leased or have been leased, in part, to owners
and operators of businesses that use, store, or otherwise handle petroleum
products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These operations create a
potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic
substances. Some of our properties are adjacent to or near other properties that
have contained or currently contain petroleum products or other hazardous or
toxic substances. In addition, certain of our properties are on, are adjacent
to, or are near other properties upon which others, including former owners or
tenants of the properties, have engaged or may in the future engage in
activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic
substances. From time to time, we may acquire properties, or interests in
properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that
the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable
and the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. Environmental
issues for each property are evaluated and quantified prior to acquisition. The
costs of environmental investigation, clean-up, and monitoring are underwritten
into the cost of the acquisition and appropriate environmental insurance is
obtained for the property. In connection with certain divested properties, we
have agreed to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or
monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties.
All of our properties were subject to a Phase I or similar environmental
assessments by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition.
Phase I assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding
the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties
and include an historical review, a public records review, an investigation of
the surveyed site and surrounding properties, and preparation and issuance of a
written report. We may perform additional Phase II testing if recommended by the
independent environmental consultant. Phase II testing may include the
collection and laboratory analysis of soil and groundwater samples, completion
of surveys for asbestos-containing building materials, and any other testing
that the consultant considers prudent in order to test for the presence of
hazardous materials.
None of the environmental assessments of our properties has revealed any
environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. Furthermore,
we are not aware of any such material environmental liability. Nonetheless, it
is possible that the assessments do not reveal all environmental liabilities and
that there are material environmental liabilities of which we are unaware or
that known environmental conditions may give rise to liabilities that are
materially greater than anticipated. Moreover, the current environmental
condition of our properties may be affected by tenants, the condition of land,
operations in the vicinity of the properties (such as releases from underground
storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us. If the costs of compliance
with existing or future environmental laws and regulations exceed our budgets
for these items, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow,
and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock could be
adversely affected.
OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH
OTHER REGULATIONS
Our properties are also subject to various federal, state, and local
regulatory requirements such as state and local fire and life safety
requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, then we might incur
fines by governmental authorities or be required to pay awards of damages to
private litigants. We believe that
40
42
our properties are currently in substantial compliance with all such regulatory
requirements. However, these requirements may change or new requirements may be
imposed, which could require significant unanticipated expenditures by us. Any
such unanticipated expenditures could have an adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on,
and the market price of, our stock.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX RISKS
OUR FAILURE TO QUALIFY AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST WOULD HAVE SERIOUS
ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES TO STOCKHOLDERS
We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended
December 31, 1997. We currently intend to operate so as to qualify as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code and believe that our
current organization and method of operation comply with the rules and
regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code to enable us to continue
to qualify as a real estate investment trust. However, it is possible that we
have been organized or have operated in a manner that would not allow us to
qualify as a real estate investment trust, or that our future operations could
cause us to fail to qualify. Qualification as a real estate investment trust
requires us to satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual and quarterly
basis) established under highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code
provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative
interpretations, and involves the determination of various factual matters and
circumstances not entirely within our control. For example, in order to qualify
as a real estate investment trust, we must derive at least 95% of our gross
income in any year from qualifying sources. In addition, we must pay dividends
to stockholders aggregating annually at least 95% (90% for years beginning on or
after January 1, 2001) of our real estate investment trust taxable income
(determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding
capital gains) and must satisfy specified asset tests on a quarterly basis.
These provisions and the applicable treasury regulations are more complicated in
our case because we hold our assets in partnership form. Legislation, new
regulations, administrative interpretations, or court decisions could
significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a real estate
investment trust or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.
However, we are not aware of any pending tax legislation that would adversely
affect our ability to operate as a real estate investment trust.
If we fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust in any taxable
year, then we will be required to pay federal income tax (including any
applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate
rates. Unless we are entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we
would be disqualified from treatment as a real estate investment trust for the
four taxable years following the year during which we lost qualification. If we
lose our real estate investment trust status, then our net earnings available
for investment or distribution to stockholders would be significantly reduced
for each of the years involved. In addition, we would no longer be required to
make distributions to our stockholders.
WE MAY INVEST IN HIGHLY SPECULATIVE EARLY-STAGE COMPANIES THAT MAY JEOPARDIZE
OUR STATUS AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
We believe that our investments in highly speculative early-stage companies
have been structured so that we currently qualify as a real estate investment
trust under the Internal Revenue Code. However, if the value of these
investments, either individually or in the aggregate, appreciates significantly,
then these investments may adversely affect our ability to continue to qualify
as a real estate investment trust, unless we are able to restructure or dispose
of our holdings on a timely basis. As of December 31, 2000, we had invested
approximately $16.0 million in early-stage companies. See "-- Our Failure to
Qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust Would Have Serious Adverse
Consequences to Stockholders" and "-- We May Invest in Highly Speculative
Early-Stage Companies in which We May Lose Our Entire Investment."
WE PAY SOME TAXES
Even if we qualify as a real estate investment trust, we will be required
to pay certain state and local taxes on our income and property. In addition, we
will be required to pay federal and state income tax on the net
41
43
taxable income, if any, from the activities conducted through AMB Investment
Management and Headlands Realty Corporation (which we discuss below under
"-- AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation").
CERTAIN PROPERTY TRANSFERS MAY GENERATE PROHIBITED TRANSACTION INCOME
From time to time, we may transfer or otherwise dispose of some of our
properties. Under the Internal Revenue Code, any gain resulting from transfers
of properties that we hold as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in
the ordinary course of business would be treated as income from a prohibited
transaction. We would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on that income.
Since we acquire properties for investment purposes, we believe that any
transfer or disposal of property by us would not be deemed by the Internal
Revenue Service to be a prohibited transaction with any resulting gain allocable
to us being subject to a 100% penalty tax. However, whether property is held for
investment purposes is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and
circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. The IRS may contend that
certain transfers or disposals of properties by us are prohibited transactions.
While we believe that the IRS would not prevail in any such dispute, if the IRS
successfully argued that a transfer or disposition of property constituted a
prohibited transaction, then we would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on
any gain allocable to us from the prohibited transaction. In addition, any
income from a prohibited transaction may adversely affect our ability to satisfy
the income tests for qualifications as a real estate investment trust for
federal income tax purposes.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR KEY PERSONNEL
We depend on the efforts of our executive officers. While we believe that
we could find suitable replacements for these key personnel, the loss of their
services or the limitation of their availability could adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay
dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. We do not have employment
agreements with any of our executive officers.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH
Our business has grown rapidly and continues to grow through property
acquisitions and developments. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, then
our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay
dividends on, and the market price of, our stock could be adversely affected.
WE MAY INVEST IN HIGHLY SPECULATIVE EARLY-STAGE COMPANIES IN WHICH WE MAY LOSE
OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT
From time to time, we may invest in highly speculative early-stage
companies that we believe will enhance our understanding of changes occurring in
the movement of goods, which may, in turn, sharpen our real estate investment
focus, create real estate provider relationships with growth companies, and
provide the potential for significant returns on invested capital. We believe
that the amounts of our investments in early-stage companies are immaterial,
both individually and in the aggregate. However, these investments are highly
speculative and it is possible that we may lose our entire investment in an
early-stage company.
AMB INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. AND HEADLANDS REALTY CORPORATION
WE DO NOT CONTROL THE ACTIVITIES OF AMB INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. AND
HEADLANDS REALTY CORPORATION
The operating partnership owns 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of
AMB Investment Management, Inc. and Headlands Realty Corporation (representing
approximately 95% of the economic interest in each entity). Some of our current
and former executive officers and a former executive officer of AMB Investment
Management, Inc. own all of the outstanding voting common stock of AMB
Investment Management, Inc. (representing approximately 5% of the economic
interest in AMB Investment Management, Inc.). Some of our current and former
executive officers and a director of Headlands Realty Corporation own all of the
outstanding voting common stock of Headlands Realty Corporation (representing
approximately 5% of the economic interest in Headlands Realty Corporation). The
ownership structure of AMB Investment Management, Inc. and Headlands Realty
Corporation permits us to share in the income of those corporations while
42
44
allowing us to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust. We receive
substantially all of the economic benefit of the businesses carried on by AMB
Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation through the operating
partnership's right to receive dividends. However, we are not able to elect the
directors or officers of AMB Investment Management, Inc. and Headlands Realty
Corporation and, as a result, we do not have the ability to influence their
operation or to require that their boards of directors declare and pay cash
dividends on the non-voting stock of AMB Investment Management, Inc. and
Headlands Realty Corporation held by the operating partnership. The boards of
directors and management of AMB Investment Management, Inc. and Headlands Realty
Corporation might implement business policies or decisions that would not have
been implemented by persons controlled by us and that may be adverse to the
interests of our stockholders or that may adversely impact our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on,
and the market price of, our stock. In addition, AMB Investment Management, Inc.
and Headlands Realty Corporation, as taxable REIT subsidiaries, are subject to
tax on their income, reducing their cash available for distribution to the
operating partnership.
AMB INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT FEES
Fees earned by AMB Investment Management, Inc. depend on various factors
affecting the ability to attract and retain investment management clients and
the overall returns achieved on managed assets. These factors are beyond our
control. AMB Investment Management, Inc.'s failure to attract investment
management clients or achieve sufficient overall returns on managed assets could
reduce its ability to pay dividends on the stock owned by the operating
partnership and could also limit co-investment opportunities to the operating
partnership. This would limit the operating partnership's ability to generate
rental revenues from such co-investments and use the co-investment program as a
source to finance property acquisitions and leverage acquisition opportunities.
OWNERSHIP OF OUR STOCK
LIMITATIONS IN OUR CHARTER AND BYLAWS COULD PREVENT A CHANGE IN CONTROL
Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws may delay, defer, or prevent a
change in control or other transaction that could provide the holders of our
common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing
market price for the common stock. To maintain our qualification as a real
estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, not more than 50% in
value of our outstanding stock may be owned, actually or constructively, by five
or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain
entities) during the last half of a taxable year after the first taxable year
for which a real estate investment trust election is made. Furthermore, after
the first taxable year for which a real estate investment trust election is
made, our common stock must be held by a minimum of 100 persons for at least 335
days of a 12-month taxable year (or a proportionate part of a short tax year).
In addition, if we, or an owner of 10% or more of our stock, actually or
constructively owns 10% or more of one of our tenants (or a tenant of any
partnership in which we are a partner), then the rent received by us (either
directly or through any such partnership) from that tenant will not be
qualifying income for purposes of the real estate investment trust gross income
tests of the Internal Revenue Code. To facilitate maintenance of our
qualification as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes,
we will prohibit the ownership, actually or by virtue of the constructive
ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, by any single person of more
than 9.8% (by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the
issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and more than 9.8% (by value
or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the issued and
outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, and we will also prohibit
the ownership, actually or constructively, of any shares of our other preferred
stock by any single person so that no such person, taking into account all of
our stock so owned by such person, may own in excess of 9.8% of our issued and
outstanding capital stock. We refer to this limitation as the "ownership limit."
Shares acquired or held in violation of the ownership limit will be transferred
to a trust for the benefit of a designated charitable beneficiary. Any person
who acquires shares in violation of the ownership limit will not be entitled to
any dividends on the shares or be entitled to vote the shares or receive any
proceeds from the subsequent sale of the shares in excess of the lesser of the
price paid for the shares or the amount realized from the sale. A transfer of
shares in violation of the
43
45
above limits may be void under certain circumstances. The ownership limit may
have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control and,
therefore, could adversely affect our stockholders' ability to realize a premium
over the then-prevailing market price for the shares of our common stock in
connection with such transaction.
Our charter authorizes us to issue additional shares of common stock and
Series A Preferred Stock and to issue Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F
Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I
Preferred Stock, and one or more other series or classes of preferred stock and
to establish the preferences, rights, and other terms of any series or class of
preferred stock that we issue. Although our board of directors has no intention
to do so at the present time, it could establish a series or class of preferred
stock that could delay, defer, or prevent a transaction or a change in control
that might involve a premium price for the common stock or otherwise be in the
best interests of our stockholders.
Our charter and bylaws and Maryland law also contain other provisions that
may delay, defer, or prevent a transaction, including a change in control, that
might involve payment of a premium price for the common stock or otherwise be in
the best interests of our stockholders. Those provisions include the following:
- the provision in the charter that directors may be removed only for cause
and only upon a two-thirds vote of stockholders, together with bylaw
provisions authorizing the board of directors to fill vacant
directorships;
- the provision in the charter requiring a two-thirds vote of stockholders
for any amendment of the charter;
- the requirement in the bylaws that the request of the holders of 50% or
more of our common stock is necessary for stockholders to call a special
meeting;
- the requirement of Maryland law that stockholders may only take action by
written consent with the unanimous approval of all stockholders entitled
to vote on the matter in question; and
- the requirement in the bylaws of advance notice by stockholders for the
nomination of directors or proposal of business to be considered at a
meeting of stockholders.
These provisions may impede various actions by stockholders without
approval of our board of directors, which in turn may delay, defer or prevent a
transaction involving a change of control.
WE COULD CHANGE OUR INVESTMENT AND FINANCING POLICIES WITHOUT A VOTE OF
STOCKHOLDERS
Subject to our current investment policy to maintain our qualification as a
real estate investment trust (unless a change is approved by our board of
directors under certain circumstances), our board of directors will determine
our investment and financing policies, our growth strategy and our debt,
capitalization, distribution, and operating policies. Although the board of
directors has no present intention to revise or amend these strategies and
policies, the board of directors may do so at any time without a vote of
stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders will have no control over changes in our
strategies and policies (other than through the election of directors), and any
such changes may not serve the interests of all stockholders and could adversely
affect our financial condition or results of operations, including our ability
to pay dividends to our stockholders.
IF WE ISSUE ADDITIONAL SECURITIES, THEN THE INVESTMENT OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS
WILL BE DILUTED
We have authority to issue shares of common stock or other equity or debt
securities in exchange for property or otherwise. Similarly, we may cause the
operating partnership to issue additional limited partnership units in exchange
for property or otherwise. Existing stockholders will have no preemptive right
to acquire any additional securities issued by us or the operating partnership
and any issuance of additional equity securities could result in dilution of an
existing stockholder's investment.
44
46
THE LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of our
common stock, or the availability of shares of our common stock for future sale,
will have on its market price. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our
common stock in the public market (or upon exchange of limited partnership units
in the operating partnership) or the perception that such sales (or exchanges)
might occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
All shares of common stock issuable upon the redemption of limited
partnership units in the operating partnership will be deemed to be "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not
be transferred unless registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
registration is available, including any exemption from registration provided
under Rule 144. In general, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, Rule 144
permits the holder to sell certain amounts of restricted securities one year
following the date of acquisition of the restricted securities from us and,
after two years, permits unlimited sales by persons unaffiliated with us.
Commencing generally on the first anniversary of the date of acquisition of
common limited partnership units (or such other date agreed to by the operating
partnership and the holders of the units), the operating partnership may redeem
common limited partnership units at the request of the holders for cash (based
on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock at
the time of redemption) or, at our option, exchange the common limited
partnership units for an equal number of shares of our common stock, subject to
certain antidilution adjustments. The operating partnership had issued and
outstanding 5,827,917 common limited partnership units as of December 31, 2000.
As of December 31, 2000, we had reserved 8,537,368 shares of common stock for
issuance under our Stock Option and Incentive Plan (not including shares that we
have already issued) and, as of December 31, 2000, we had granted to certain
directors, officers and employees options to purchase 5,666,830 shares of common
stock (excluding forfeitures and 128,216 shares that we have issued pursuant to
the exercise of options). As of December 31, 2000, we had granted 311,017
restricted shares of common stock, 1,931 of which have been forfeited. In
addition, we may issue additional shares of common stock and the operating
partnership may issue additional limited partnership units in connection with
the acquisition of properties. In connection with the issuance of common limited
partnership units to other transferors of properties, and in connection with the
issuance of the performance units, we have agreed to file registration
statements covering the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exchange of
the common limited partnership units. We have also filed a registration
statement with respect to the shares of common stock issuable under our Stock
Option and Incentive Plan. These registration statements and registration rights
generally allow shares of common stock covered thereby, including shares of
common stock issuable upon exchange of limited partnership units, including
performance units, or the exercise of options or restricted shares of common
stock, to be transferred or resold without restriction under the Securities Act.
We may also agree to provide registration rights to any other person who may
become an owner of the operating partnership's limited partnership units.
Future sales of the shares of common stock described above could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock. The existence of the operating
partnership's limited partnership units, options, and shares of common stock
reserved for issuance upon exchange of limited partnership units, and the
exercise of options and registration rights referred to above, also may
adversely affect the terms upon which we are able to obtain additional capital
through the sale of equity securities.
VARIOUS MARKET CONDITIONS AFFECT THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK
As with other publicly-traded equity securities, the market price of our
stock will depend upon various market conditions, which may change from time to
time. Among the market conditions that may affect the market price of our stock
are the following:
- the extent of investor interest in us;
- the general reputation of real estate investment trusts and the
attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity
securities (including securities issued by other real estate-based
companies);
45
47
- our financial performance; and
- general stock and bond market conditions, including changes in interest
rates on fixed income securities, that may lead prospective purchasers of
our stock to demand a higher annual yield from future dividends. Such an
increase in the required yield from dividends may adversely affect the
market price of our stock.
Other factors such as governmental regulatory action and changes in tax
laws could also have a significant impact on the future market price of our
stock.
EARNINGS AND CASH DIVIDENDS, ASSET VALUE, AND MARKET INTEREST RATES AFFECT THE
PRICE OF OUR STOCK
The market value of the equity securities of a real estate investment trust
generally is based primarily upon the market's perception of the real estate
investment trust's growth potential and its current and potential future
earnings and cash dividends. It is based secondarily upon the real estate market
value of the underlying assets. For that reason, shares of our stock may trade
at prices that are higher or lower than the net asset value per share. To the
extent that we retain operating cash flow for investment purposes, working
capital reserves, or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the
value of our underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market
price of our stock. Our failure to meet the market's expectation with regard to
future earnings and cash dividends likely would adversely affect the market
price of our stock. Another factor that may influence the price of our stock
will be the distribution yield on the stock (as a percentage of the price of the
stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates
might lead prospective purchasers of our stock to expect a higher distribution
yield, which would adversely affect the market price of the stock. If the market
price of our stock declines significantly, then we might breach certain
covenants with respect to debt obligations, which might adversely affect our
liquidity and ability to make future acquisitions and our ability to pay
dividends to our stockholders.
ITEM 7a. QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk includes: 1) the rising interest rates in
connection with our unsecured credit facility and other variable rate
borrowings; and 2) our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval,
thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect
our cash flows. See "Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources -- Capital Resources -- Market Capitalization."

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of AMB Property Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AMB
Property Corporation (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements and the schedules referred
to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules, based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of AMB Property Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedules III, Real
Estate and Accumulated Depreciation and IV, Mortgage Loans on Real Estate, are
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
This information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
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 under Sections 856 through
860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 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 real estate investment trust. 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, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion, and
development of primarily industrial buildings in target markets nationwide.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" means AMB Property
Corporation, the Operating Partnership, and its other controlled subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2000, the Company owned an approximate 93.5% general
partner interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The
remaining 6.5% limited partner interest is owned by non-affiliated investors and
certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. For local law
purposes, certain properties are owned through limited partnerships and limited
liability companies. The ownership of such properties through such entities does
not materially affect the Company's overall ownership of the 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 to fund certain
acquisitions and development and renovation projects. As of December 31, 2000,
the Company had investments in two co-investment joint ventures, including AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P. ("Alliance Fund I"), which are consolidated
for financial reporting purposes.
AMB Investment Management, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("AMB Investment
Management"), provides real estate investment services on a fee basis to
clients. The Operating Partnership purchased 100% of AMB Investment Management's
non-voting preferred stock (representing a 95% economic interest therein).
Certain current and former executive officers of the Company and a former
executive officer of AMB Investment Management collectively purchased 100% of
AMB Investment Management's voting common stock (representing a 5% economic
interest therein). The Operating Partnership also owns 100% of the non-voting
preferred stock of Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation,
(representing a 95% economic interest therein). Certain current and former
executive officers of the Company and a director of Headlands Realty Corporation
collectively own 100% of the voting common stock of Headlands Realty Corporation
(representing a 5% economic interest therein). Headlands Realty Corporation
primarily invests in properties that do not meet the Company's normal investment
strategy, as well as build-to-sell development projects, which are part of the
Company's investment strategy. In addition, it invests in properties and
interests in entities that engage in the management, leasing, and development of
properties and similar activities. The Operating Partnership accounts for its
investments in AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation using
the equity method of accounting.
As of December 31, 2000, the Company owned 862 industrial buildings and
eight retail centers, located in 27 markets throughout the United States
(unaudited). The Company's strategy is to become a leading provider of High
Throughput Distribution, or HTD, properties located near key passenger and cargo
airports, highway systems and ports in major metropolitan areas, such as
Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Northern New Jersey/New York City, the San
Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, Miami, and Seattle. As of December 31,
2000, the industrial buildings, principally warehouse distribution buildings,
encompassed

approximately 75.8 million rentable square feet and were 96.4% leased to over
2,850 tenants (unaudited). As of December 31, 2000, the retail centers,
principally grocer-anchored community shopping centers, encompassed
approximately 1.2 million rentable square feet and were 93.2% leased to over 170
tenants (unaudited).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. These consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States using the accrual method of accounting. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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.
Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
of the Company, its wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries, the Operating
Partnership, and joint ventures (the "Joint Ventures"), in which the Company has
a controlling interest. Third-party equity interests in the Operating
Partnership and the Joint Ventures are reflected as minority interests in the
consolidated financial statements. The Company also has three non-controlling
limited partnership interests in three separate unconsolidated real estate joint
ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method. All significant
intercompany amounts have been eliminated.
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. Net
realizable value for financial reporting purposes is reviewed for impairment on
a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount 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 economics and market
conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions
change, then an adjustment to the carrying amount of the Company's long-lived
assets could occur. 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
income. The management of the Company believed that there was no impairment of
the carrying value of its investments in real estate at December 31, 2000.

Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the real estate investments. The estimated
lives are as follows:

------- ------- -------
Total depreciation and
amortization.................. $96,258 $67,505 $57,464
======= ======= =======
The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the
property or interest in property including legal fees and acquisition costs.
Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a
real estate project, which include interest and property taxes, are capitalized
as construction in progress.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Significant renovations or betterments that extend the economic useful
life of assets are capitalized.
Reverse Exchanges. Reverse exchanges represent loan agreements with third
parties, whereby the Company loans substantially all funds to the third party to
acquire a real estate investment. The loan is secured by the real estate
investment and title is held by the third party. The Company records the asset
as an investment in real estate and is entitled to record the rental income
associated with the property as the Company retains the risk of loss and the
benefits of the asset.
Concentration of Credit Risk. Other real estate companies compete with the
Company in its real estate markets. This results in competition for tenants to
occupy space. The existence of competing properties could have a material impact
on the Company's ability to lease space and on the amount of rent received. As
of December 31, 2000, the Company did not have any single tenant that accounted
for greater than 1.3% of rental revenues.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in
financial institutions and other highly liquid short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents. Restricted cash and cash equivalents
include cash held in escrow in connection with property purchases, Section 1031
exchange funds, and capital improvements.
Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with financings are
capitalized and amortized to interest expense on the effective-interest method
over the term of the related loan. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, deferred
financing fees were $10.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively, net of
accumulated amortization of $4.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Such
amounts are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investments in Other Companies. Certain of the Company's marketable equity
securities are considered available-for-sale investments and are carried at
market value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The

difference between cost and market value is recorded as a component of
Accumulated other comprehensive income in Stockholders' Equity. For its
investments in private companies, the Company periodically reviews its
investments and management determines if the value of such investments have been
permanently impaired. Such impairment losses are included in current earnings.
Debt Premiums. Debt premiums represent the excess of the fair value of debt
over the principal value of debt assumed in connection with the initial public
offering and subsequent acquisitions. The debt premiums are being amortized into
interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the
effective interest method. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the unamortized
debt premium was $9.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively.
Minority Interests. Minority interests in the Company represent the limited
partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and interests held by certain
third parties in 30 joint ventures aggregating approximately 15.5 million square
feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments
are consolidated because: 1) the Company owns a majority interest; or 2) the
Company exercises significant control through the ability to control major
operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers,
and changes in financing.
In 1999 and 2000, AMB Institutional Alliance REIT I, Inc. (the "Alliance
REIT") issued and sold shares of its capital stock to 15 third-party investors.
The Alliance REIT has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, commencing
with its tax year ending December 31, 1999. The Alliance REIT acquired a limited
partnership interest in the Alliance Fund I, which is engaged in the
acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation, and expansion and
development of industrial buildings in target markets nationwide. The Operating
Partnership is the managing general partner of the Alliance Fund I and, together
with an affiliate of the Company, owns approximately 21% of the partnership
interests in the Alliance Fund I at December 31, 2000. The Company consolidates
the Alliance Fund I for financial reporting purposes because the Operating
Partnership is the sole managing general partner of the Alliance Fund I and, as
a result, controls all of its major operating decisions.

Rental Revenues. The Company, as a lessor, retains substantially all of the
benefits and risks of ownership of the properties and accounts for its leases as
operating leases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the leases. Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other
recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the
applicable expenses are incurred. Differences between estimated and actual
amounts are recognized in the subsequent year.
Investment Management and Other Income. Investment management income
consists primarily of professional fees generated from the Company's equity in
the earnings of AMB Investment Management. Other income consists primarily of
interest income on cash and cash equivalents.
Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and
unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in equity securities and is
presented in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity.
Derivatives. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended by
Statement No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities, established accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset
or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement, as amended, requires
that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company will adopt FASB
Statement No. 133 in 2001 and believes that it will not materially impact its
financial position or results of operations as the Company does not utilize
derivative instruments in its operations.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Company and AMB Investment Management have an agreement that allows for
the sharing of certain costs and employees. Additionally, the Company provides
AMB Investment Management with certain acquisition-related services. For the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company allocated $2.8
million, $2.7 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, for shared costs to AMB
Investment Management.
The Company and AMB Investment Management share common office space under
lease obligations. Such lease obligations are charged to the Company and AMB
Investment Management at cost. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998, the Company paid $1.4 million, $1.3 million, and $1.2 million,
respectively, for occupancy costs related to the lease obligations of the
affiliate.
4. REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY
During 2000, the Company invested $730.0 million in operating properties,
consisting of 145 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 10.5 million
square feet. Of this, $185.6 million was acquired by the Alliance Fund I,
consisting of 44 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 2.6 million
square feet. The Company also initiated 17 new development projects, aggregating
approximately 4.5 million square feet, with a total estimated cost of $224.0
million upon completion. In 2000, the Company also completed 12 development
projects, aggregating approximately 3.1 million square feet, at a total
aggregate cost of $144.3 million. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had in
its development pipeline 19 industrial projects, which will total approximately
5.5 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $305.9
million upon completion. It also had three retail projects in its development
pipeline, which will total approximately 0.5 million square feet and have an
aggregate estimated investment of $76.3 million upon completion. As of December
31, 2000, the Company and its Development Alliance Partners have funded an
aggregate of $226.5 million and will need to fund an estimated additional $155.7
million in order to complete projects currently under construction.
During 1999, the Company invested $471.9 million in operating properties,
consisting of 154 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 8.4 million
square feet. The Company also initiated eight new development projects,
aggregating approximately 1.7 million square feet, with a total estimated cost
of $130.9 million upon completion. In 1999, the Company also completed seven
development projects, aggregating approximately 1.7 million square feet, at a
total aggregate cost of $68.9 million. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had
18 projects, aggregating approximately 4.3 million square feet, in its
development pipeline, with a total estimated cost of $306.4 million upon
completion. The Company funded these acquisitions and development projects
through proceeds from divestitures of properties, borrowings under its unsecured
credit facility, debt and equity financings, and debt assumption.
5. PROPERTY DIVESTITURES AND PROPERTIES HELD FOR DIVESTITURE
Property Divestitures. During 2000, the Company divested itself of 25
industrial buildings and one retail center, aggregating approximately 2.5
million square feet, for an aggregate price of $175.7 million, with a resulting
net gain of $7.0 million. The retail center was located in Los Angeles,
California, aggregated approximately 0.4 million square feet, and sold for $89.0
million. The Company carries an 8.75% mortgage note in the principal amount of
$79.0 million on the retail center sale. The mortgage note matures in September
2001 and has a one-year extension option.
During 1999, the Company divested itself of 15 industrial buildings and 30
retail centers, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet, for an
aggregate price of $764.1 million, with a resulting net gain of $53.8 million

Properties Held for Divestiture. The Company has decided to divest itself
of 33 industrial buildings and one retail center, which are not in its core
markets or which do not meet its strategic objectives. The divestitures of the
properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary
conditions. In connection with the Company's planned divestitures, the Company
evaluated its held-for-sale assets for impairment and reduced their carrying
value by recording an additional $3.5 million in depreciation expense. As of
December 31, 2000, the net carrying value of the properties held for divestiture
was $197.1 million.

========== ==========
Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments.
The secured debt is secured by deeds of trust on certain properties. As of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, the total gross investment book value of those
properties secured by debt was $2.0 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. All
of the secured debt bears interest at fixed rates, except for two loans with an
aggregate principal amount of $29.8 million and $10.4 million at December 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively, which bear interest at variable rates (weighted
average interest rate of 8.2% at December 31, 2000). The secured debt has
various financial and non-financial covenants. Management believes that the
Company was in material compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2000.
Additionally, $240.9 million of the secured debt was cross-collateralized at
December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the estimated fair value of
the secured debt was $956.1 million and $684.0 million, respectively. As of
December 31, 2000, the estimated fair value of the unsecured senior debt was
$689.4 million.
In addition, the Alliance Fund I had an $80.0 million unsecured credit
facility. The debt was secured by the unfunded capital commitments of the third
party investors in the Alliance REIT I, a limited partner of the Alliance Fund
I. Since there are no remaining unfunded capital commitments, the Alliance Fund
I paid off

the outstanding balance and closed this credit facility during the third quarter
of 2000. See Note 2 for a discussion of the Alliance Fund I and the Alliance
REIT I.
Interest on the unsecured senior debt securities is payable semi-annually.
The 2015 notes are putable and callable in June 2005. The senior debt securities
are subject to various financial and non-financial covenants. Management
believes that the Company was in material compliance with these covenants at
December 31, 2000.
In 2000, the Operating Partnership commenced a medium-term note program for
the issuance of up to $400.0 million in principal amount of medium-term notes,
which will be guaranteed by the Company. As of December 31, 2000, the Company
had issued $280.0 million of medium-term notes under the program. In December
2000, the Operating Partnership issued and sold $150.0 million of the notes
under this program to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and J.P. Morgan as principals.
The Company has guaranteed the notes, which mature on December 15, 2005, and
bear interest at 7.2% per annum. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds
of $148.9 million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay
indebtedness, and for the acquisition and development of properties. In October
2000, the Operating Partnership issued and sold $75.0 million of the notes under
this program to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and J.P. Morgan as principals. The
Company has guaranteed the notes, which mature on November 1, 2010, and bear
interest at 8.0% per annum. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of
$74.5 million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay indebtedness,
and for the acquisition and development of properties. In August and September
2000, the Operating Partnership issued and sold $55.0 million of the notes under
this program to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter as principal. The Company has
guaranteed the notes, which mature on August 20, 2007, and bear interest at
7.925% per annum. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of $54.8
million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay indebtedness, and for
the acquisition and development of properties.
In May 2000, the Operating Partnership entered into a new $500.0 million
unsecured revolving credit agreement, which replaced its previous $500.0 million
credit facility, which matured in November 2000. The Company is the guarantor of
the Operating Partnership's obligations under the credit facility. The new
credit facility matures in May 2003, has a one-year extension option, and is
subject to a 15 basis point annual facility fee. The credit facility has various
financial and non-financial covenants. Management believes that the Company and
the Operating Partnership were in material compliance with these covenants at
December 31, 2000. The Operating Partnership has the ability to increase
available borrowings up to $700.0 million by adding additional banks to the
facility or obtaining the agreement of existing banks to increase their
commitments. Monthly debt service payments on the credit facility are interest
only. The total amount available under the credit facility fluctuates based upon
the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement governing the credit facility.
At December 31, 2000, the remaining amount available under the credit facility
was $284.0 million (excluding the additional $200.0 million of potential
additional capacity).
Capitalized interest related to construction projects for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, was $15.5 million, $10.9 million, and $7.2
million, respectively.

rent based on a percentage of the tenant's revenues. For the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company recognized percentage rent
revenues of $0.8 million, $2.0 million, and $1.9 million, respectively. Some
leases contain options to renew.

8. INCOME TAXES
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, commencing with
its taxable year ended December 31, 1997. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must
meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a
requirement that it currently distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to
its stockholders. Effective January 1, 2001, to qualify as a REIT, the Company
must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. It is
management's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the
Company's REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to
corporate level federal income tax on net income it distributes currently to its
stockholders. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Company fails to
qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income
taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum
tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.
Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject
to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal
income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income.

At the time of the Company's initial public offering, 4,237,750 shares of
common stock, known as performance shares, were placed in escrow by certain of
the Company's investors, which were subject to advisory agreements with the
Company's predecessor that included incentive fee provisions. On January 7,
2000, 2,771,824 shares of common stock were released from escrow to these
investors and 1,465,926 shares of common stock were returned to the Company and
cancelled. The cancelled shares of common stock represent indirect interests in
the Operating Partnership that were reallocated from the Company (thereby
decreasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding) to other
unitholders who had an ownership interest in our predecessor, including certain
of the Company's executive officers, (thereby increasing the number of limited
partnership units owned by partners other than the Company). The total number of
outstanding partnership units did not change as a result of this reallocation.
This reallocation did not change the amount of fully diluted shares of common
stock and limited partnership units outstanding.

11. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND 401(k) PLAN
Stock Incentive Plan. In November 1997, the Company established a Stock
Option and Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") for the purpose of
attracting and retaining eligible officers, directors, and employees. The
Company has reserved for issuance 8,950,000 shares of Common Stock under the
Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had granted
approximately 5,895,000 non-qualified options outstanding granted to certain
directors, officers, and employees. Each option is exchangeable for one share of
the Company's Common Stock. The options have a weighted average exercise price
of $20.83 and the exercise prices range from $18.13 to $26.06. Each option's
exercise price is equal to the Company's market price on the date of grant. The
options had an original ten-year term and generally vest pro rata in annual
installments over a three- or four-year period from the date of grant.
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its Stock Incentive
Plan. Opinion 25 measures compensation cost using the intrinsic value based
method of accounting. Under this method, compensation cost is the excess, if
any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the date of grant over the
amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Accordingly, no compensation
cost has been recognized for the Company's Stock Incentive Plan as of December
31, 2000.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting Stock-based Compensation," the
Company has not changed the method of accounting for stock options but has
provided the additional required disclosures. Had compensation cost for the
Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair

value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method
of SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net income available to common
stockholders would have been reduced by $6.3 million, $3.2 million, and $1.8
million and pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share would have been
reduced to $1.28 and $1.27, and $1.92 and $1.92, and $1.25 and $1.24,
respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used
for grants in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively: dividend yields of 6.5%, 7.2%,
and 6.3%; expected volatility of 13.3%, 18.5%, and 23.1%; risk-free interest
rates of 6.1%, 5.4%, and 4.9%; and expected lives of 10 years for each year.

In 2000, 1999, and 1998, under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Company issued
162,299, 100,000, and 43,007 restricted shares, respectively, to certain
officers of the Company as part of the performance pay program and in connection
with employment with the Company. As of December 31, 2000, 1,931 shares of
restricted stock have been forfeited. The 309,087 outstanding restricted shares
are subject to repurchase rights, which generally lapse over a period from three
to five years.
401(k) Plan. In November 1997, the Company established a Section 401(k)
Savings/Retirement Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), which is a continuation of the
401(k) Plan of the predecessor, to cover eligible employees of the Company and
any designated affiliates. During 2000 and 1999, the 401(k) Plan permitted
eligible employees of the Company to defer up to 20% and 10%, respectively, of
their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code.
The employees' elective deferrals are immediately vested and non-forfeitable
upon contribution to the 401(k) Plan. During 2000 and 1999, the Company matched
the employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan in an amount equal to 50% of the
first 5.5% and 3.5%, respectively, of annual compensation deferred by each
employee. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to the 401(k)
Plan. In 2000 and 1999, the Company accrued $0.3 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, for its 401(k) match. Such amounts were included in Other
liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
Deferred Compensation Plan. Effective September 1, 1999, the Company
established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for officers of the
Company and certain of its affiliates. The plan enables participants to defer
income up to 25% of annual base pay and up to 100% of annual bonuses on a
pre-tax basis. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions to
participant accounts at any time. The Company made no such discretionary
matching contributions in 2000 or 1999. The participant's elective deferrals and
any matching contributions are immediately 100% vested. As of December 31, 2000
and 1999, the total amount of compensation deferred was $1.0 million and $0.2
million, respectively.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
Lease Commitments. The Company has entered into operating ground leases on
certain land parcels and a building with periods up to 50 years. Future minimum
rental payments required under non-cancelable operating leases in effect at
December 31, 2000, were as follows:
(DOLLARS IN

2001...................................................... $ 4,948

2005...................................................... 4,828
Thereafter................................................ 133,970
--------
$159,027
========
These operating lease payments are being amortized ratably over the terms
of the related leases.
Contingencies
Litigation. In the normal course of business, from time to time, the
Company is involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of
its properties. In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may
ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to 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.
General Uninsured Losses. The Company carries property and rental loss,
liability, flood, and environmental insurance. The Company believes that the
policy terms and conditions, limits, and deductibles are adequate and
appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost
of such coverage, and 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 that may
be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss
occur, the Company could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and
cash flows from, a property.
Minority Interest Put Option. Pursuant to the Company's partnership
agreement with one of its separate account co-investors, commencing March 31,
1999, and each year thereafter, the Company is required to
F-19
73
AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
provide this co-investor a notice that sets forth the valuation of the
partnership as of the date of valuation. The co-investor then has the right to
require the Company to purchase all of its partnership interest based upon the
valuation in the form of cash, shares of the Company, or partnership units in
the Operating Partnership. The put option was not exercised by the co-investor
in 1999 nor 2000 and the Company does not anticipate that the put option will be
exercised in the coming year.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable property segments: industrial and retail.
The industrial properties consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities
suitable for single or multiple tenants and are typically comprised of multiple
buildings, which are leased to tenants engaged in various types of businesses.
The retail properties are generally leased to one or more anchor tenants, such
as grocery and drug stores, and various retail businesses. The Company evaluates
performance based upon property net operating income of the combined properties
in each segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company manages
these properties separately because each segment requires different operating,
pricing, and leasing strategies. Summary information for the reportable segments
is as follows:

15. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition issues in financial statements. The Company
has adopted SAB 101 as required and believes that SAB 101 does not have a
material impact on these consolidated financial statements.
