AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005
(Unaudited)
|
|
1. |
Organization and Formation of the Operating Partnership |
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the
Company), commenced operations as a fully integrated
real estate company effective with the completion of its initial
public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected
to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT)
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (the Code), commencing with its taxable year
ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current
organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain
its status as a REIT. The Company, through its controlling
interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the Operating Partnership), is
engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of
primarily industrial properties in key distribution markets
throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Unless the context
otherwise requires, the Company means AMB Property
Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their other
controlled subsidiaries and the Operating
Partnership means AMB Property, L.P. and its controlled
subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2005, the Company owned an approximate
94.7% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership,
excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 5.3% common
limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated
investors and certain current and former directors and officers
of the Company. Certain properties are owned through limited
partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities.
The ownership of such properties through such entities does not
materially affect the Operating Partnerships overall
ownership interests in the properties. As the sole general
partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full,
exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the
day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.
Net operating results of the Operating Partnership are allocated
after preferred unit distributions based on the respective
partners ownership interests.
The Operating Partnership enters into co-investment joint
ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint
ventures provide the Operating Partnership with an additional
source of capital and income. As of March 31, 2005, the
Operating Partnership had investments in seven consolidated and
one unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures.
AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(AMB Capital Partners), provides real estate
investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty
Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of
businesses that include development projects available for sale
or contribution to third parties and incremental income
programs. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, also
conducts a variety of businesses that include development
projects available for sale or contribution to third parties.
AMB Capital Partners, Headlands Realty Corporation and IMD
Holding Corporation are wholly-owned direct or indirect
subsidiaries of the Company and the Operating Partnership.
As of March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnership owned 958
operating industrial buildings and four retail and other
properties, aggregating approximately 89.7 million rentable
square feet, located in 33 markets throughout the United States
and in France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands. The
Operating Partnerships strategy is to become a leading
provider of distribution properties in supply-constrained
submarkets located near key international passenger and cargo
airports, highway systems and seaports in major metropolitan
areas of North America, Europe and Asia. These submarkets are
generally tied to global trade. As of March 31, 2005, the
Operating Partnerships industrial buildings, principally
warehouse distribution buildings, encompassed approximately
89.2 million rentable square feet and were 95.1% leased. As
of March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnerships retail
centers, principally grocer-anchored community shopping centers,
and other properties encompassed approximately 0.5 million
rentable square feet and were 71.4% leased.
As of March 31, 2005, through AMB Capital Partners, the
Operating Partnership also managed, but did not have an
ownership interest in, industrial and other properties, totaling
approximately 0.4 million rentable square feet. In
addition, the Operating Partnership had investments in
industrial operating properties, totaling approximately
10.2 million rentable square feet, through unconsolidated
joint ventures. As of March 31, 2005, the Operating
Partnership also had investments in industrial development
projects throughout the United States and in Japan, Mexico, the
Netherlands, Singapore and Spain, which are expected to total
approximately 9.6 million square feet. Development projects
in the U.S., totaling $16.6 million, were available for
sale or contribution.

Interim Financial Statements |
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
certain information and note disclosures normally included in
the annual
5
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005
(Unaudited)
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a
normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of
the Operating Partnerships consolidated financial position
and results of operations for the interim periods. The interim
results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of future results. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Operating
Partnerships Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004.
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.
Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate
and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless circumstances
indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the
carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair
value. The Operating Partnership also regularly reviews the
impact of above or below-market leases, in-place leases and
lease origination costs for all new acquisitions, and records an
intangible asset or liability accordingly. Carrying values for
financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a
property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may
not be fully recoverable. Impairment is recognized when
estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without
interest charges) are less than the carrying value of the
property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is
inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current
and future economics and market conditions and the availability
of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an
adjustment to the carrying value of the Operating
Partnerships long-lived assets could occur in the future
period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a
property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the
property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings.
The Operating Partnership believes that there are no impairments
of the carrying values of its investments in real estate as of
March 31, 2005.
Reclassifications. Certain items in the consolidated
financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to current classifications.
Comprehensive Income. The Operating Partnership reports
comprehensive income in its Statement of Partners Capital.
Comprehensive income was $45.5 million and
$15.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
International Operations. The U.S. dollar is the
functional currency for the Operating Partnerships
subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. The
functional currency for the Operating Partnerships
subsidiaries operating outside North America is generally the
local currency of the country in which the entity is located.
The Operating Partnerships subsidiaries whose functional
currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial
statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are
translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial
statement date. The Operating Partnership translates income
statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the
period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate
on the transaction date. These gains (losses) are included in
accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component
of partners capital.
The Operating Partnerships international subsidiaries may
have transactions denominated in currencies other than their
functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and
liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate,
monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange
rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement
accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the
period. These gains (losses) are included in the Operating
Partnerships results of operations.
The Operating Partnership also records gains or losses in the
income statement when a transaction with a third party,
denominated in a currency other than the entitys
functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash
flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the
exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
Management believes that these gains and losses are immaterial.
Stock-based Compensation Expense. In 2002, the Operating
Partnership adopted the expense recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. The Operating Partnership values stock options
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes this
value as an expense over the vesting periods. Under this
standard, recognition of expense for stock options is applied to
all options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption.
Under SFAS No. 123, related
6
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005
(Unaudited)
stock option expense was $2.1 million and $1.0 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Additionally, the Operating Partnership awards
restricted stock and recognizes this value as an expense over
the vesting periods. Related restricted stock compensation
expense was $2.2 million and $1.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The expense is included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Prior
to 2002, the Operating Partnership followed the intrinsic method
set forth in APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees.
Had compensation costs for the Operating Partnerships
stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair
value at the grant dates for awards prior to 2002 consistent
with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Operating
Partnerships pro forma net income available to common
unitholders would have been (dollars in thousands):

New Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2004, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). This Statement is a revision
of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. This Statement establishes standards for the
accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its
equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses
transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange
for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the
entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the
issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses
primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity
obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.
SFAS 123R is effective for public companies for annual
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of
SFAS 123R will require the unamortized portion of any
options issued prior to 2002 to be amortized over the remaining
life of those options. The adoption of SFAS 123R will not
impact the Operating Partnerships financial position,
results of operations or cash flows because all options issued
prior to 2002 will have been fully amortized.

Real Estate Acquisition and Development Activity |
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Operating
Partnership acquired six industrial buildings, aggregating
approximately 0.8 million square feet for a total expected
investment of $77.8 million, through three of the Operating
Partnerships co-investment joint ventures. Additional
acquisition activity in the quarter ended March 31, 2005
included the purchase of an approximate 43% unconsolidated
equity interest in G.Accion, one of Mexicos largest real
estate companies, for $46.1 million. During the three
months ended March 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership
acquired seven industrial buildings, aggregating approximately
1.3 million square feet for a total expected investment of
$134.2 million, of which the Operating Partnership acquired
two industrial buildings aggregating approximately
0.3 million square feet through two of the Operating
Partnerships co-investment joint ventures, for a total
expected investment of $32.7 million.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Operating
Partnership initiated six new industrial development projects in
North America with a total expected investment of
$60.4 million, aggregating approximately 0.6 million

Gains from Dispositions of Real Estate, Development Sales and
Discontinued Operations |
Gains from Dispositions of Real Estate Interests. On
December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership contributed
$71.5 million in operating properties, consisting of eight
industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 1.3 million
square feet, to its newly formed unconsolidated co-investment
joint venture, AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. The Operating Partnership
recognized a total gain of $7.2 million on the
contribution, representing the partial sale of the Operating
Partnerships interests in the contributed properties
acquired by the third-party investors for cash. Of this amount,
the Operating Partnership recognized $2.0 million in
development profits in the fourth quarter of 2004. This amount
is classified under development profits, net of taxes on the
consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended
March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnership recognized a gain
of $1.3 million from disposition of real estate interests,
representing the additional value received from the contribution
of properties to AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC.
Development Sales and Contributions. For the three months
ended March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold two
land parcels and one development project, aggregating
approximately 24,000 square feet, as part of our
development-for-sale program, for an aggregate price of
$42.9 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of
$17.9 million, of which $9.8 million was the joint
venture partners share. For the three months ended
March 31, 2004, no such sales were initiated by the
Operating Partnership.
Discontinued Operations. The Operating Partnership
reported its property divestitures as discontinued operations
separately as prescribed under the provisions of
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS No. 144). During the three months
ended March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnership divested
itself of 24 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately
1.5 million square feet, for an aggregate price of
$142.1 million, with a resulting net gain of
$27.9 million. During the three months ended March 31,
2004, the Operating Partnership divested itself of one
industrial building, aggregating approximately
48,000 square feet, for an aggregate price of
$5.0 million, with a resulting net loss of
$0.3 million.
Properties Held for Divestiture. As of March 31,
2005, the Operating Partnership held for divestiture eight
industrial buildings and six undeveloped land parcels with an
aggregate net book value of $49.5 million. These properties
either are not in the Operating Partnerships core markets
or do not meet its current strategic objectives, or are included
as part of its development-for-sale program. The divestitures of
the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms
and other customary conditions. Properties held for divestiture
are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less
costs to sell.
The following summarizes the condensed results of operations of
the properties held for divestiture and sold under
SFAS No. 144 (dollars in thousands):

Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest
payments. The secured debt is secured by deeds of trust or
mortgages on certain properties and is generally non-recourse.
As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the total
gross investment book value of those properties securing the
debt was $3.0 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively,
including $2.3 billion

(Unaudited)
and $2.4 billion, respectively, in consolidated joint
ventures. As of March 31, 2005, $1.8 billion of the
secured debt obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a
weighted average interest rate of 6.4% while the remaining
$119.4 million bear interest at variable rates (with a
weighted average interest rate of 1.6%). The secured debt has
various covenants. Management believes that the Operating
Partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants as of
March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, the Operating
Partnership had certain non-recourse, secured loans, which are
cross-collateralized by multiple properties.
As of March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnership had issued
an aggregate of approximately $1.0 billion in unsecured
senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 6.6% and had an average term of 4.3 years. These
unsecured senior debt securities include $400.0 million in
notes issued in June 1998, $100.0 million of which are
putable and callable in June 2005, $400.0 million of
medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating
Partnerships 2000 medium-term note program, and
$225.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued
under the Operating Partnerships 2002 medium-term note
program. $21.1 million of the notes issued under the 2002
medium-term note program were cancelled in December 2004. As of
March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnerships 2002
medium-term note program had a remaining capacity of
$175.0 million. The Operating Partnership intends to
continue to issue medium-term notes, guaranteed by the Company,
under its 2002 program from time to time and as market
conditions permit. The unsecured senior debt securities are
subject to various covenants. Management believes that the
Operating Partnership was in compliance with its financial
covenants as of March 31, 2005.
On June 1, 2004, the Operating Partnership completed the
early renewal of its senior unsecured revolving line of credit
in the amount of $500.0 million. The Company remains a
guarantor of the Operating Partnerships obligations under
the credit facility. The three-year credit facility includes a
multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million
can be drawn in Yen, Euros or British Pounds Sterling. The line,
which matures in June 2007 and carries a one-year extension
option, can be increased up to $700.0 million upon certain
conditions, and replaces the Operating Partnerships
previous $500.0 million credit facility that was to mature
in December 2005. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR
plus a margin, based on the Operating Partnerships
long-term debt rating, which is currently 60 basis points
with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points, based on
the current credit rating of the Operating Partnerships
long-term debt. The Operating Partnership uses its unsecured
credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding
development activity and general working capital requirements.
The total amount available under the credit facility fluctuates
based upon the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement
governing the credit facility, which is generally based upon the
value of the Companys unencumbered properties. As of
March 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on the credit
facility was $214.7 million and the remaining amount
available was $271.1 million, net of outstanding letters of
credit of $14.2 million (excluding the additional
$200.0 million of potential additional capacity). The
outstanding balance included borrowings denominated in Euros and
Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on March 31,
2005, would equal approximately $98.0 million and
$45.7 million in U.S. dollars, respectively. The
revolving credit facility contains customary and other
affirmative covenants, including compliance with financial
reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial
ratios and negative covenants, including limitations on the
incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or
consolidations. Management believes that the Operating
Partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants at
March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had
an additional outstanding balance of $32.4 million on other
credit facilities.
On June 29, 2004, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of
the Operating Partnership, entered into an unsecured revolving
credit agreement providing for loans or letters of credit in a
maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of up to
24 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on
March 31, 2005, equaled approximately $224.0 million
U.S. dollars. The Company and the Operating Partnership
guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the
revolving credit facility, as well as the obligations of any
other entity in which the Operating Partnership directly or
indirectly owns an ownership interest, and which is selected
from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the
revolving credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the
proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and
development of properties and for other real estate purposes in
Japan. Generally, borrowers under the revolving credit facility
have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings
under the revolving credit facility with certain real estate
assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets.
The revolving credit facility matures in June 2007 and has a
one-year extension option, which is subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal
to 0.25% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at
that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a
margin, which is based on the current credit rating of the
Operating Partnerships long-term debt and is currently
60 basis points. In addition, there is an annual facility
fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit
rating of the Operating Partnerships long-term debt, and
is currently 20 basis points of the outstanding commitments
under the facility. As of March 31, 2005, the outstanding
balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in
effect on March 31, 2005, was $175.5 million in
U.S. dollars. The revolving credit facility contains
customary and other affirmative covenants,

(Unaudited)
including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of
specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including
limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on
mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the
Operating Partnership was in compliance with its financial
covenants at March 31, 2005.
On November 24, 2004, AMB Tokai TMK, a Japanese subsidiary
of the Operating Partnership, entered into a secured
multi-advance project financing, providing for loans in a
maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of up to
20 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on
March 31, 2005, equaled approximately $186.7 million
U.S. dollars. The financing agreement is among AMB Tokai
TMK, the Company, the Operating Partnership, Sumitomo Mitsui
Banking Corporation (Sumitomo) and a syndicate of
banks. The Company and the Operating Partnership jointly and
severally guarantee AMB Tokai TMKs obligations under the
financing agreement, pursuant to a guaranty of payment executed
in connection with the project financing. The financing is
secured by a mortgage on certain real property located in Tokai,
Tokyo, Japan, and matures on October 31, 2006 with a
one-year extension option. The rate on the borrowings is
generally TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the credit
rating of the Operating Partnerships long-term debt and is
currently 60 basis points per annum, except that AMB Tokai
TMK has purchased from Sumitomo an interest rate swap, which has
fixed the interest rate payable on a principal amount equal to
13 billion Yen at 1.32% per annum plus the applicable
margin. In addition, there is an annual commitment fee based on
unused commitments, payable quarterly, which is based on the
credit rating of the Operating Partnerships long-term
debt, and is currently 20 basis points of the amount of
unused commitments. The financing agreement contains customary
and other affirmative covenants, including financial reporting
requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and
negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of
liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. In addition,
Sumitomo, AMB Tokai TMK and the Operating Partnership signed a
commitment letter on November 24, 2004, pursuant to which
Sumitomo committed to purchase bonds that may be issued by AMB
Tokai TMK in an amount between 10 billion Yen and
15 billion Yen (such amount to be determined by AMB Tokai
TMK). The bonds would be secured by the AMB Ohta Distribution
Center and would generally accrue interest at a rate of TIBOR
plus 1.10% per annum; because the swap purchased by AMB
Tokai TMK from Sumitomo is coterminous with the maturity date of
the proposed bonds, AMB Tokai TMK will have fixed the interest
rate payable on, in general, a principal amount equal to
13 billion Yen at 2.42% per annum. The bonds, if
issued, would mature on October 31, 2012. As of
March 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on this financing
agreement was 16.5 billion Yen, which, using the exchange
rate in effect on March 31, 2005, equaled approximately
$154.0 million U.S. dollars.
As of March 31, 2005, the scheduled maturities of the
Operating Partnerships total debt, excluding unamortized
debt premiums, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Minority Interests in Consolidated Joint Ventures and

limited partnership interests in AMB Property II, L.P. and
interests held by certain third parties in several real estate
joint ventures, aggregating approximately 44.2 million
square feet, which

are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such
investments are consolidated because the Operating Partnership
exercises significant rights over major operating decisions such
as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset
management, investment activity and changes in financing. These
joint venture investments do not meet the variable interest
entity criteria under FASB Interpretation No. 46R,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
The Operating Partnership enters into co-investment joint
ventures with institutional investors. The Operating
Partnerships co-investment joint ventures are engaged in
the acquisition, ownership, operation, management and, in some
cases, the renovation, expansion and development of industrial
buildings in target markets nationwide. The Operating

The Operating Partnership has consolidated joint ventures that
have finite lives under the terms of the partnership agreements.
As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the
aggregate book value of the minority interests in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $884.2 million
and $828.6 million, respectively, and the Operating
Partnership believes that the aggregate settlement value of
these interests were approximately $1,089.9 million and
$997.6 million, respectively. However, there can be no
assurance that the aggregate settlement value of the interests
will be as such. The aggregate settlement value is based on the
estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and
the resulting proceeds that the Operating Partnership would
distribute to its joint venture partners upon dissolution, as
required under the terms of the respective partnership
agreements. There can be no assurance that the estimated
liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the
resulting proceeds that the Operating Partnership distributes
upon dissolution will be the same as the actual liquidation
values of such assets, liabilities and proceeds distributed upon
dissolution. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair values of
the assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures
will affect the Operating Partnerships estimate of the
aggregate settlement value. The partnership agreements do not
limit the amount that the minority partners would be entitled to
in the event of liquidation of the assets and liabilities and
dissolution of the respective partnerships.

On December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership formed
AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, a joint venture with Industrial (Mexico) JV
Pte Ltd, a real estate investment subsidiary of the Government
of Singapore Investment Corporation, in which the Operating
Partnership retained a 20% interest. The Operating Partnership
contributed $71.5 million in operating properties,
consisting of eight industrial buildings, aggregating
approximately 1.3 million square feet, to this fund. The
Operating Partnership recognized a gain of $7.2 million on
the contribution, representing the portion of its interest in
the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors
for cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the
Operating Partnership recognized a gain of $1.3 million
from disposition of real estate interests, representing the
additional value received from the contribution of properties to
AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. Under the agreements governing the joint
ventures, the Operating Partnership and the other parties to the
joint venture may be required to make additional capital
contributions and, subject to certain limitations, the joint
ventures may incur additional debt.
The Operating Partnership also has a 0.1% unconsolidated equity
interest (with an approximate 33% economic interest) in AMB Pier
One, LLC, a joint venture related to redevelopment of the
Operating Partnerships office space in San Francisco.
The investment is not consolidated because the Operating
Partnership does not exercise significant control over major
operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of
property managers, investment activity and changes in financing.
The Operating Partnership has an option to purchase the
remaining equity interest beginning January 1, 2007 and
expiring December 31, 2009, based on the fair market value
as stipulated in the operating agreement.
Holders of common limited partnership units of the Operating
Partnership and class B common limited partnership units of
AMB Property II, L.P. have the right, commencing generally
on or after the first anniversary of the holder becoming a
limited partner of the Operating Partnership or AMB
Property II, L.P., as applicable (or such other date agreed
to by the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P.
and the applicable unit holders), to require the Operating
Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., as applicable, to
redeem part or all of their common units or class B common
limited partnership units, as applicable, for cash (based upon
the fair market value, as defined in the applicable partnership
agreement, of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of
the Company at the time of redemption) or the Operating
Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P. may, in its respective
sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limits on ownership
and transfer of common stock set forth in the Companys
charter), elect to have the Company exchange those common units
or class B common limited partnership units, as applicable,
for shares of the Companys common stock on a one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock
dividends, issuance of certain rights, certain extraordinary
distributions and similar events. With each redemption or
exchange of the Operating Partnerships common units, the
Companys percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership
will increase. Common limited partners and class B common
limited partners may exercise this redemption right from time to
time, in whole or in part, subject to certain limitations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Operating
Partnership redeemed 26,281 of its common limited partnership
units for an equivalent number of shares of the Companys
common stock.
As of March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnership had
outstanding 83,733,896 common general partnership units;

When the Company issues stock options or restricted stock, the
Operating Partnership issues corresponding general partnership
units on a one-for-one basis. The Operating Partnerships
only dilutive securities outstanding for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004 were stock options and restricted
stock granted under its stock incentive plans. The effect on
income per unit was to increase weighted average units
outstanding. Such dilution was computed using the treasury stock
method.

The Operating Partnership mainly operates industrial properties
and manages its business by markets. Industrial properties
represent more than 99.5% of the Operating Partnerships
portfolio by rentable square feet and consist primarily of
warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or
multiple customers, and are typically comprised of multiple
buildings that are leased to customers engaged in various types
of businesses. The Operating Partnerships geographic
markets for industrial properties are managed separately because
each market requires different operating, pricing and leasing
strategies. The remaining 0.5% of the Operating
Partnerships portfolio is comprised of retail and other
properties located in Southeast Florida and Atlanta. The
Operating Partnership does not separately manage its retail
operations by market. Retail properties are generally leased to
one or more anchor customers, such as grocery and drug stores,
and various retail businesses. The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies. The Operating Partnership

Property net operating income (NOI) is defined as
rental revenue, including reimbursements, less property
operating expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization,
general and administrative expenses and interest expense. For a
reconciliation of NOI to net income, see the table below. |
The Operating Partnership considers NOI to be an appropriate
supplemental performance measure because NOI reflects the
operating performance of the Operating Partnerships real
estate portfolio on a segment basis, and the Operating
Partnership uses NOI to make decisions about resource
allocations and to assess regional property level performance.
However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of
the Operating Partnerships financial performance since it
does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest
expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital
expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and
construction activities that could materially impact the
Operating Partnerships results from operations. Further,
the Operating Partnerships NOI may not be comparable to
that of other real estate companies, as they may use different
methodologies for calculating NOI.

Commitments and Contingencies |
Lease Commitments. The Operating Partnership holds
operating ground leases on land parcels at its on-tarmac
facilities, leases on office spaces for corporate use, and a
leasehold interest that it holds for investment purposes. The
remaining lease terms are from two to 58 years. Operating
lease payments are being amortized ratably over the terms of the
related leases.
Standby Letters of Credit. As of March 31, 2005, the
Operating Partnership had provided approximately
$26.8 million in letters of credit, of which
$14.2 million was provided under the Operating
Partnerships $500.0 million unsecured credit
facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under
certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other
commitments.
Guarantees. Other than parent guarantees associated with
the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership, as of
March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnership had outstanding
guarantees in the aggregate amount of $33.6 million in
connection with certain acquisitions and lease obligations of
which $7.9 million was backed by standby letters of credit.
As of March 31, 2005, the Operating Partnership guaranteed
$2.8 million and $4.5 million on outstanding loans for
one of its consolidated joint ventures and two of its
unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively. Additionally, the
Operating Partnership provided a take out guarantee after the
completion of construction on the aggregate construction loan
amount of $30.2 million, if permanent financing can not be
obtained upon stabilization for two of its unconsolidated joint
ventures, of which $23.0 million was outstanding as of
March 31, 2005.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of March 31, 2005,
the Operating Partnership had outstanding performance and surety
bonds in an aggregate amount of $1.2 million. These bonds
were issued in connection with certain of its development
projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations
and the construction of certain real property improvements and
infrastructure, such as grading, sewers and streets. Performance
and surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from
real estate developers. Performance and surety bonds are
renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the
completion of the improvements and infrastructure.
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.
Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the
occurrence of certain events, the Operating Partnership may be
obligated to make payments to certain development joint venture
partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their
contractual agreements with the Operating Partnership. From time
to time in the normal course of the Operating Partnerships
business, the Operating Partnership enters into various
contracts with third parties that may obligate it to make
payments or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of
certain events.
Litigation. In the normal course of business, from time
to time, the Operating Partnership may be involved in legal
actions relating to the ownership and operations of its
properties. Management does not expect that the liabilities, if
any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Operating
Partnership.
Environmental Matters. The Operating Partnership monitors
its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic
substances. The Operating Partnership is not aware of any
environmental liability with respect to the properties that
would have a material adverse effect on the Operating
Partnerships 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 Operating Partnerships results of operations
and cash flow. The Operating Partnership carries environmental
insurance and believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits
and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the
circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such
coverage and current industry practice.
General Uninsured Losses. The Operating Partnership
carries property and rental loss, liability, flood and terrorism
insurance. The Operating Partnership believes that the policy
terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and
appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of
loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice.
In addition, certain of the Operating Partnerships
properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquake
activity; therefore, the Operating Partnership has obtained
limited earthquake insurance on those properties. There are,
however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those
due to acts of war that may be either uninsurable or not
economically insurable. Although the Operating Partnership has
obtained coverage for certain acts of terrorism, with policy
specifications and insured limits that it
18
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005
(Unaudited)
believes are commercially reasonable, there can be no assurance
that the Operating Partnership will be able to collect under
such policies. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Operating
Partnership could lose its investment in, and anticipated
profits and cash flows from, a property.
Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001, the
Operating Partnership formed a wholly-owned captive insurance
company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata),
which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses
below the deductible under the Operating Partnerships
third-party policies. The Operating Partnership capitalized
Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory
requirements. Arcata established annual premiums based on
projections derived from the past loss experience at the
Operating Partnerships properties. Annually, the Operating
Partnership engages an independent third party to perform an
actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related
deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated
risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be
adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Arcata have a
retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses,
deductibles and reserves, are less than premiums collected, the
excess may be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as
appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, subject to
certain limitations, if expenses, including losses, deductibles
and reserves, are greater than premiums collected, an additional
premium will be charged. As with all recoverable expenses,
differences between estimated and actual insurance premiums will
be recognized in the subsequent year. Through this structure,
the Operating Partnership believes that it has more
comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than
would otherwise be available in the market.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
Some of the information included in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which are
made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements, and you should not rely on the
forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The
events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements
might not occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as
believes, expects, may,
will, should, seeks,
approximately, intends,
plans, pro forma, estimates
or anticipates, or the negative of these words and
phrases, or similar words or phrases. You can also identify
forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or
intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks
and uncertainties and you should not rely upon them as
predictions of future events. There is no assurance that the
events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements
will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are
necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may
be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize
them.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual
results and future events to differ materially from those set
forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in general economic conditions or in the real estate
sector; |
|
|
|
non-renewal of leases by customers or renewal at lower than
expected rent; |
|
|
|
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in
effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms and the failure of
acquisitions to perform as we expect; |
|
|
|
risks and uncertainties affecting property development and
renovation (including construction delays, cost overruns, our
inability to obtain necessary permits and financing); |
|
|
|
risks of doing business internationally, including
unfamiliarity with new markets and currency risks; |
|
|
|
a downturn in Californias economy or real estate
conditions; |
|
|
|
losses in excess of our insurance coverage; |
|
|
|
our failure to divest of properties on advantageous terms or
to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures; |
|
|
|
unknown liabilities acquired in connection with acquired
properties or otherwise; |
|
|
|
risks associated with using debt to fund acquisitions and
development, including re-financing risks; |
|
|
|
our failure to obtain necessary financing; |
|
|
|
changes in local, state and federal regulatory requirements;
and |
|
|
|
environmental uncertainties. |
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally,
various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk
factors discussed under the heading Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Business Risks and elsewhere in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004. 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. We assume no obligation
to update or supplement forward-looking statements.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms we,
us and our refer to AMB Property, L.P.

GENERAL
We commenced operations shortly before the consummation of AMB
Property Corporations initial public offering on
November 26, 1997.
Managements Overview
We generate revenue and earnings primarily from rent received
from customers under long-term (generally three to ten years)
operating leases at our properties, including reimbursements
from customers for certain operating costs, and from
20
partnership distributions and fees from our private capital
business. We also derive earnings from the strategic disposition
of assets and from the disposition of projects under our
development-for-sale or contribution program. Our long-term
growth is dependent on our ability to maintain and increase
occupancy rates or increase rental rates at our properties and
our ability to continue to acquire and develop new properties.
National industrial markets improved during the first quarter of
2005 when compared with the same period of 2004. According to
Torto Wheaton Research, the positive trend in demand began in
the second quarter of 2004 and reversed 14 prior quarters of
negatively trending, or rising, space availability. We believe
the protracted period of rising availability created a difficult
national leasing environment which is now improving,
particularly in large industrial markets tied to global trade.
During the two-and-a-half year period of negatively trending
industrial space availability, investor demand for industrial
property (as evidenced by our observation of strong national
sales volumes and declining acquisition capitalization rates)
remained consistently strong. We believe we capitalized on the
demand for acquisition property by accelerating the
repositioning of our portfolio through the disposition of
non-core properties. We plan to continue selling selected assets
on an opportunistic basis but believe we have substantially
achieved our repositioning goals. Property dispositions result
in reinvestment capacity and trigger gain/loss recognition, but
also create near-term earnings dilution if the capital cannot be
redeployed effectively. We experienced such near-term dilution
in the first quarter of 2005. However, we believe that the
repositioning of our portfolio will benefit our unitholders in
the long-term. The table below summarizes key operating and
leasing statistics for our industrial operating properties as of
and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

We observed that national industrial real estate trends
continued to improve during the quarter ended March 31,
2005, supported by data provided by Torto Wheaton Research.
First, national industrial space availability declined
20 basis points from the prior quarter to 10.8%, resulting
in a year-over-year decline of 80 basis points from 11.6%
at March 31, 2004. The decrease in national industrial
space availability began in the second quarter of 2004,
reversing the trend of the prior 14 quarters in which national
industrial space availability increased on
average 36 basis points per quarter. Additionally,
national absorption of industrial space, defined as the net
change in occupied stock as measured by square feet of
completions less the change in available square feet, totaled
approximately 41 million square feet in the quarter ended
March 31, 2005, down from the prior quarters
55 million square feet but above the ten-year historical
average of 33 million square feet of space absorbed
quarterly.
In this strengthened environment, our industrial
portfolios occupancy levels increased to 95.1% at
March 31, 2005 from 94.8% at December 31, 2004, which
we believe reflects higher levels of demand for industrial space
generally and in our portfolio specifically. During the quarter
ended March 31, 2005, our lease expirations totaled
approximately 5.4 million square feet while commencements
of new or renewed leases totaled approximately 6.0 million
square feet, resulting in an increase in our occupancy level of
approximately 30 basis points.
Rents on industrial lease renewals and rollovers in our
portfolio continued their sequential improvement declining 8.6%
during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared with
declines of 12.4% in the prior quarter and 14.7% in the first
quarter of 2004. These rental rate declines occurred as we
entered into or renewed leases at rates consistent with what we
believe to be current market levels. We believe this decline in
rents on lease renewals and rollovers reflects trends in
national industrial space availability. We believe that
relatively high levels of national industrial space availability
have caused market rents for industrial properties to decline
between 10% and 20% from their peak levels in 2001 based on our
research data. This decline in market rents from their 2001 peak
levels had a negative impact on our results as 47% of the space
that rolled over in our portfolio in the first quarter of 2005
had commenced between 1999 and 2001. However, rental rates in
our portfolio declined at successively lesser rates
21
in each of the five quarters ended March 31, 2005. While
the level of rental rate reduction varied by market, we achieved
occupancy levels in our portfolio 590 basis points in
excess of the national industrial market, as determined by Torto
Wheaton Research, by pricing lease renewals and new leases with
sensitivity to local market conditions. For example, during
periods of decreasing or stabilizing rental rates, we strove to
sign leases with shorter terms to prevent locking in lower rent
levels for long periods and to be prepared to sign new,
longer-term leases during periods of growing rental rates. We
now believe that industrial real estate fundamentals in general,
and occupancy in our portfolio specifically, have improved to a
level at which we may increase rental rates in selected markets.
Going forward, we expect development to be a primary driver of
our earnings growth as we expand our land and development for
sale program, and contribute completed development projects into
our co-investment program and recognize profits. We believe that
development, renovation and expansion of well-located,
high-quality industrial properties should generally continue to
provide us with attractive investment opportunities at a higher
rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of existing
properties. We believe that our development opportunities in
Mexico and Japan are attractive given the current lack of supply
of modern distribution facilities in the major metropolitan
markets of these countries. Globally, we have increased our
development pipeline from a low of $107.0 million at the
end of 2002 to approximately $881.2 million at
March 31, 2005. In addition to our committed development
pipeline, we hold a total of 1,201 acres for future
development or sale, of which 1,152 acres, 39 acres
and ten acres are in North America, Asia and Europe,
respectively. We believe these 1,201 acres of land can
support an aggregate of approximately 19.2 million square
feet of additional development.
Going forward, we believe that our co-investment program with
private-capital investors will continue to serve as a
significant source of revenues and capital for acquisitions and
developments. Through these co-investment joint ventures, we
typically earn acquisition and development fees, asset
management fees and priority distributions, as well as promoted
interests and incentive distributions based on the performance
of the co-investment joint ventures; however, there can be no
assurance that we will continue to do so. Through contribution
of development properties to our co-investment joint ventures,
we expect to recognize value creation from our development
pipeline. As of March 31, 2005, we owned approximately
40.5 million square feet of our properties (36.8% of the
total operating and development portfolio) through our
consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. We
may make additional investments through these joint ventures or
new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.
By 2007, we plan to have approximately 15% of our portfolio
(based on both consolidated and unconsolidated annualized base
rent) invested in international markets. Our North American
target markets outside of the United States currently include
Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey and Toronto. Our European
target markets currently include Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt,
London, Lyon, Madrid and Paris. Our Asian target markets
currently include Beijing, Nagoya, Osaka, the Pearl River Delta,
Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo. It is possible that our target
markets will change over time to reflect experience, market
opportunities, customer needs and changes in global distribution
patterns. As of March 31, 2005, our international operating
properties comprised 4.5% of our consolidated annualized base
rent.
For our general partner to maintain its qualification as a real
estate investment trust, it must pay dividends to its
stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its taxable
income. As a result, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund
our on-going operations to the same extent that other
corporations whose parent companies are not real estate
investment trusts can. We must continue to raise capital in both
the debt and equity markets to fund our working capital needs,
acquisitions and developments. See Liquidity and Capital
Resources for a complete discussion of the sources of our
capital.

Critical Accounting Policies
In the preparation of financial statements and in the
determination of our operating performance, we utilize certain
significant accounting policies. There has been no material
change in our significant accounting policies, which are
included in the notes to our audited financial statements
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004.
THE COMPANY
AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, acquires,
develops and operates primarily industrial properties in key
distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate
company effective with the completion of AMB Property
Corporations initial public offering on November 26,
1997. Our strategy focuses on providing properties for customers
who value the efficient movement of goods in the worlds
busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained
locations with close proximity to airports, seaports and major
highway systems. As of March 31, 2005, we owned, managed
and had renovation and development projects totaling
110.3 million square feet (10.3 million square meters)
and 1,085 buildings in 38 markets within eight countries.
As of March 31, 2005, AMB Property Corporation owned an
approximate 94.7% general partnership interest in us, excluding
preferred units. As our sole general partner, AMB Property
Corporation has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility
for and discretion in our day-to-day management and control.
Our investment strategy generally targets customers whose
businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the
World Trade Organization, has grown more than three times the
world gross domestic product growth rate during the last
20 years. To serve the facilities needs of these customers,
we seek to invest in major distribution markets, transportation
hubs and gateways, both domestically and internationally. Our
investment strategy seeks target markets that are generally
characterized by large population densities and typically offer
substantial consumer bases, proximity to large clusters of
distribution-facility users and significant labor pools. When
measured by annualized base rents, 66.2% of our industrial
properties are concentrated in eight U.S. hub and gateway
distribution markets: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth,
Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/ New York City, the
San Francisco Bay Area, Miami and Seattle. Our portfolio of
properties located on-tarmac at airports comprised 8.7% of our
consolidated annualized base rents. Much of our portfolio is
comprised of industrial buildings in in-fill submarkets. In-fill
locations are characterized by supply constraints on the
availability of land for competing projects as well as physical,
political or economic barriers to new development.
We focus our investment strategy on High Throughput
Distribution®, or HTD® facilities, which are buildings
designed to quickly distribute our customers products
rather than store them. Our investment focus on HTD assets is
based on what we believe to be a global trend toward lower
inventory levels and expedited supply chains. HTD facilities
generally have a variety of characteristics that allow for the
rapid transport of goods from point-to-point. Examples of these
physical characteristics include numerous dock doors, shallower
building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and more
space for trailer parking. We believe that these building
characteristics represent an important success factor for
time-sensitive customers such as air express, logistics and
freight forwarding companies, and that these facilities function
best when located in convenient proximity to transportation
infrastructure such as major airports and seaports.
As of March 31, 2005, we owned and operated (exclusive of
properties that we managed for third parties) 958 industrial
buildings and four retail and other properties, totaling
approximately 89.7 million rentable square feet, located in
33 markets throughout the United States and in France, Germany,
Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands. As of March 31, 2005,
through our subsidiary, AMB Capital Partners, LLC, we also
managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial
buildings and other properties totaling approximately
0.4 million rentable square feet. In addition, as of
March 31, 2005, we had investments in operating industrial
buildings totaling approximately 10.2 million rentable
square feet, through investments in unconsolidated joint
ventures. As of March 31, 2005, we also had investments in
industrial development projects, some of which are part of our
23
development-for-sale program, totaling approximately
9.6 million square feet. As of March 31, 2005, we had
eight industrial buildings and six undeveloped land parcels held
for divestiture.
Our own employees perform our corporate administrative and
management functions, rather than our relying on an outside
manager for these services. We manage our portfolio of
properties in a flexible operating model which includes both
direct property management and a Strategic Alliance
Program® in which we have established relationships with
third-party real estate management firms, brokers and developers
that provide property-level administrative and management
services under our direction.
Our principal executive office is located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San
Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is
(415) 394-9000. We also maintain regional offices in
Amsterdam, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Menlo Park, Shanghai
and Tokyo. As of March 31, 2005, we employed 261
individuals: 159 at our San Francisco headquarters, 59 in our
Boston office and the remainder in our other regional offices.
Our website address is www.amb.com. Our annual report on
Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current
reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports
filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available on our website
free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after we
electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained
on our website is not and should not be deemed a part of this
quarterly report.
Operating Strategy
We base our operating strategy on a variety of operational and
service offerings, including in-house acquisitions, development,
redevelopment, asset management, leasing, finance, accounting
and market research. Our strategy is to leverage our expertise
across a large customer base, and complement our internal
management resources with long-standing relationships with
entrepreneurial real estate management and development firms in
our target markets, which we refer to as our Strategic Alliance
Partners®.
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business
and best operated by local teams in each market comprised of AMB
employees, local alliance partners or both. We intend to
increase utilization of internal management resources in target
markets to achieve both operating efficiencies and to expose our
customers to the broadening array of AMB service offerings,
including access to multiple locations worldwide and
build-to-suit developments. We actively manage our portfolio,
whether directly or with an alliance partner, by establishing
leasing strategies, negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level
and timing of property improvements.
Growth Strategies
Growth Through Operations
We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent
increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space by
working to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and
to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of scale
inherent in owning, operating and growing a large, global
portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2005,
our average industrial base rental rates decreased by 8.6% from
the rent in place at expiration for that space on leases entered
into or renewed during the period. This amount excludes expense
reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage rents and
straight-line rents. Since 2001, as the industrial market
weakened, we have focused on maintaining occupancy levels.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, cash-basis
same-store net operating income (rental revenues less property
operating expenses and real estate taxes for properties included
in the same-store pool, which is set annually and excludes
properties purchased or developments stabilized after
December 31, 2003) decreased by 0.1% on our industrial
properties. For the seven full calendar years following our
initial public offering (the most recent reporting period for
our peer group), our cash-basis same-store net operating income
growth has outperformed our industrial peer average by
approximately 150 basis points based on our research data. Since
AMB Property Corporations initial public offering in
November 1997, we have experienced average annual increases in
industrial base rental rates of 6.3% and maintained an average
quarter-end occupancy of 94.8% in our industrial operating
portfolio. While we believe that it is important to view real
estate as a long-term investment, past results are not
necessarily an indication of future performance. See
Part I, Item 1: Note 11 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed segment
information, including revenue attributable to each segment,
gross investment in each segment and total assets.
Growth Through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment
We believe that our acquisition experience and our network of
property management and acquisition resources will continue to
provide opportunities for external growth. We have long-term
relationships with third-party local property management firms,
which we believe will give us access to additional acquisition
opportunities, as such managers frequently market properties on
behalf of sellers. We believe that our operating structure also
enables us to acquire properties through our UPREIT Alliance
Program® in exchange for our or AMB Property II,
L.P.s limited partnership units, thereby enhancing our
attractiveness to
24
owners and developers seeking to transfer properties on a
tax-deferred basis. Going forward, we believe that our
newly-formed open-ended co-investment partnership, AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., will serve as our
primary source of capital for acquisitions of operating
properties within the U.S. In addition, we seek to redeploy
capital from non-strategic assets into properties that better
fit our current investment focus.
We are generally engaged in various stages of negotiations for a
number of acquisitions and dispositions that may include
acquisitions and dispositions of individual properties, large
multi-property portfolios or other real estate companies. There
can be no assurance that we will consummate any of these
transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be
material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital
for acquisitions may include retained cash flow from operations,
borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities, other forms of
secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or
limited partnership units (including issuances of limited
partnership units in our subsidiaries), proceeds from
divestitures of properties, assumption of debt related to the
acquired properties and private capital from our co-investment
partners.
Growth Through Development
We believe that development, renovation and expansion of
well-located, high-quality industrial properties should continue
to provide us with attractive investment opportunities at a
higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of
existing properties. We believe we have the in-house expertise
to create value both through new construction and acquisition
and management of value-added properties. Value-added conversion
project represents the repurposing of land or a building site
for more valuable uses and may include such activities as
rezoning, redesigning, reconstructing and retenanting. Both new
development and value-added conversions require significant
management attention and capital investment to maximize their
return. Completed development properties may be held in our
portfolio, sold to third parties or contributed to our
co-investment joint ventures. We believe our global market
presence and expertise will enable us to continue to generate
and capitalize on a diverse range of development opportunities.
We believe that the multidisciplinary backgrounds of our
employees should provide us with the skills and experience to
capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development
opportunities. Many of our general partners officers have
specific experience in real estate development, both with us and
with national development firms, and over the past year and a
half, we have expanded our development staff. We pursue
development projects directly and in joint ventures with our
Development Alliance Partners®, which provide us with the
flexibility to pursue development projects independently or in
partnerships, depending on market conditions, submarkets or
building sites.
Growth Through Global Expansion
By 2007, we plan to have approximately 15% of our portfolio
(based on both consolidated and unconsolidated annualized base
rent) invested in international markets. As of March 31,
2005, our international operating properties comprised 4.5% of
our consolidated annualized base rent. When international
operating properties owned in unconsolidated joint ventures are
included, our annualized base rents from international
investments increases to 6.1%. Our North American target markets
outside of the United States currently include Guadalajara,
Mexico City, Monterrey and Toronto. Our European target markets
currently include Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Lyon,
Madrid and Paris. Our Asian target markets currently include
Beijing, Nagoya, Osaka, the Pearl River Delta, Shanghai,
Singapore and Tokyo.
We believe that expansion into target international markets
represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in
industrial markets with high population densities, close
proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools,
and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our
international expansion strategy mirrors our domestic focus on
supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic or
physical constraints to new development. Our international
investments extend our offering of High Throughput
Distribution® facilities for customers who value
speed-to-market over storage. Specifically, we are focused on
customers whose business is derived from global trade. In
addition, our investments target major consumer distribution
markets and customers. We believe that our established customer
relationships, our contacts in the air cargo and logistics
industries, our underwriting of markets and investments and our
Strategic Alliance Programs with knowledgeable developers and
managers will assist us in competing internationally.
Growth Through Co-Investments
We co-invest in properties with private-capital investors
through partnerships, limited liability companies or joint
ventures. Our co-investment joint ventures are managed by our
private capital group and typically operate under the same
investment strategy that we apply to our other operations.
Typically we will own a 20-50% interest in our co-investment
ventures. In general, we control all significant operating and
investment decisions of our consolidated co-investment entities.
We believe that our co-investment program will continue to serve
as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments;
however, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do
so. In addition, our co-investment joint ventures typically
allow us to earn acquisition and
25
development fees, asset management fees and priority
distributions, as well as promoted interests and incentive fees
based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures. As
of March 31, 2005, we owned approximately 40.5 million
square feet of our properties (36.8% of the total operating and
development portfolio) through our consolidated and
unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store
growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures.
Same store properties are those that we owned during both the
current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development
properties prior to being stabilized subsequent to
December 31, 2003 (generally defined as properties that are
90% leased or properties for which we have held a certificate of
occupancy or where building has been substantially complete for
at least 12 months).
As of March 31, 2005, same store industrial properties
consisted of properties aggregating approximately
80.0 million square feet. The properties acquired during
the three months ended March 31, 2005 consisted of six
buildings, aggregating approximately 0.8 million square
feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended
March 31, 2004 consisted of seven buildings, aggregating
approximately 1.3 million square feet. During the three
months ended March 31, 2005, property divestitures
consisted of 24 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately
1.5 million square feet. During the three months ended
March 31, 2004, property divestitures consisted of one
building, aggregating approximately 48,000 square feet. Our
future financial condition and results of operations, including
rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of
additional properties and dispositions. Our future revenues and
expenses may vary materially from historical results.

The decrease in U.S. industrial same store rental revenues
was primarily driven by decreased rental rates in various
markets. Across the portfolio, a decrease in rental rates, a
decrease in straight-line rents and amortization of lease
intangibles, and other factors accounted for the change from
prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2005,
rents in the same store portfolio decreased 8.6% on industrial
renewals and rollovers (cash basis) on 4.1 million square
feet leased, which was partially offset by an increase in same
store occupancy of 1.9% to 94.9% at March 31, 2005. The
properties acquired during 2004 consisted of seven buildings,
aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet. The
properties acquired during 2005 consisted of six buildings,
aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet. Other
industrial revenues include rental revenues from divested
properties that have been contributed to an unconsolidated joint
venture, and accordingly are not classified as discontinued
operations in our consolidated financial statements, and
development projects that have reached certain levels of
operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool
of properties. In 2004, we acquired properties in France,
Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in
increased international industrial revenues.

Same store properties operating expenses showed an
increase of $0.5 million from prior year on a
quarter-to-date basis. The 2004 acquisitions consist of seven
buildings, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square
feet. Other industrial expenses include expenses from divested
properties that have been contributed to an unconsolidated joint
venture, and accordingly are not classified as discontinued
operations in our consolidated financial statements, and
development properties that have reached certain levels of
operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool
of properties. In 2004, we acquired properties in France,
Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in
increased international industrial property operating costs. The
increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the
increase in our net investment in real estate. The increase in
general and administrative expenses was primarily due to
increased stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million
and additional staffing and expenses for new initiatives,
including our international and development expansions. Fund
costs represent general and administrative costs paid to third
parties associated with our co-investment joint ventures.

The $0.5 million decrease in equity in earnings of
unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily due to decreased
occupancy at a property held by one of our joint ventures. The
$2.0 million decrease in other income and expenses was
primarily due to costs related to the internalization of
property management and accounting functions and certain deal
costs. The 2005 gains from disposition of real estate interests
resulted from additional value received from the contribution of
properties to one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, AMB-SGP
Mexico, LLC. Development profits represent gains from the sale
of development projects and land as part of our
development-for-sale program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we divested
ourselves of 24 industrial buildings aggregating approximately
1.5 million square feet for $142.1 million, with a
resulting net gain of approximately $29.6 million. During
the first quarter of 2004, we divested ourselves of one
industrial building of approximately 48,000 square feet for
$5.0 million, with a resulting net loss of approximately
$0.3 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Balance Sheet Strategy. In general, we use unsecured
lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred units and common
units (issued by us and/or our subsidiaries) to capitalize our
100%-owned assets. Over time, we plan to retire non-recourse,
secured debt encumbering our 100%-owned assets and replace that
debt with unsecured notes. In managing our co-investment joint
ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to
capitalize our co-investment joint ventures.
We currently expect that our principal sources of working
capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and
renovation of properties will include:
|
|
|
|
|
retained earnings and cash flow from operations; |
|
|
|
borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities; |
|
|
|
other forms of secured or unsecured financing; |
|
|
|
proceeds from debt or limited partnership unit offerings
(including issuances of limited partnership units by our
subsidiaries); |
|
|
|
net proceeds from divestitures of properties; |
|
|
|
private capital from co-investment partners; and |
|
|
|
contribution of properties and completed development projects to
our co-investment joint ventures. |
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will
include:
|
|
|
|
|
working capital; |
|
|
|
development, expansion and renovation of properties; |
|
|
|
acquisitions, including our global expansion; |
|
|
|
debt service; and |
|
|
|
distributions on outstanding common and preferred limited
partnership units. |
We believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our
cash flow from operations, borrowings available under our
unsecured credit facilities and our ability to access private
and public debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet
our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. The
unavailability of capital could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make
distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
Capital Resources
Property Divestitures. During the three months ended
March 31, 2005, we divested ourselves of 24 industrial
buildings, aggregating approximately 1.5 million square
feet, for an aggregate price of $142.1 million, with a
resulting net gain of $27.9 million. For the three months
ended March 31, 2004, we divested ourselves of one
industrial building for a price of $5.0 million, with a
resulting net loss of $0.3 million.
Development Sales and Contributions. For the three months
ended March 31, 2005, we sold two land parcels and one
development project, comprising approximately 24,000 square
feet, as part of our development-for-sale program, for an
aggregate price of $42.9 million, resulting in an after-tax
gain of $17.9 million, of which $9.8 million was the
joint venture partners share. For the three months ended
March 31, 2004, no such sales were initiated by us.
Properties Held for Divestiture. As of March 31,
2005, we held for divestiture eight industrial buildings and six
undeveloped land parcels, which are not in our core markets, do
not meet our current strategic objectives, or which we have
included as part of our development-for-sale program. The
divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of
acceptable terms and other
28
customary conditions. As of March 31, 2005, the net
carrying value of the properties held for divestiture was
$49.5 million. Expected net sales proceeds exceed the net
carrying value of the properties.
Mortgage and Loan Receivables. Through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, we hold a mortgage loan receivable on AMB Pier One,
LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture. The note bears interest at
13.0% and matures in May 2026. As of March 31, 2005, the
outstanding balance on the note was $12.9 million. We also
hold a loan receivable of $8.8 million on G.Accion, an
unconsolidated investment, which bears interest at 12.0% and
matures in November 2006. At December 31, 2004, we also
held a mortgage receivable from a property sale.
Co-investment Joint Ventures. We enter into co-investment
joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment
joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and
provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain
acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as
well as private capital income. We generally consolidate these
joint ventures for financial reporting purposes because they are
not variable interest entities and because we are the sole
managing general partner and control all major operating
decisions. However, in certain cases, our co-investment joint
ventures are unconsolidated.
Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected
as minority interests in our consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2005, we owned approximately
40.5 million square feet of our properties (36.8% of the
total operating and development portfolio) through our
consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures and
5.2 million square feet of our properties through our other
consolidated joint ventures. We may make additional investments
through these joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future
and presently plan to do so. Our consolidated co-investment
joint ventures at March 31, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

In December 2003, AMB Property Corporations board of
directors approved a new two-year common stock repurchase
program for the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its
common stock. AMB Property Corporation did not repurchase or
retire any shares of its common stock during the three months
ended March 31, 2005.
Debt. In order to maintain financial flexibility and
facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we
presently intend to operate with an our share of total
debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio of
approximately 45% or less. As of March 31, 2005, our share
of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio
was 40.4%. (See footnote 1 to the Capitalization Ratio
table contained in Part 1, Item 2:
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and
Capital Resources below for our definitions of our
share of total market capitalization, market
equity and our share of total debt.) However,
we typically finance our co-investment joint ventures with
secured debt at a loan-to-value ratio of 50-65% per our joint
venture partnership agreements. Additionally, we currently
intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an
investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless
of these policies, however, our organizational documents do not
limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly,
our management could alter or eliminate these policies without
stockholder approval or circumstances could arise that could
render us unable to comply with these policies.
As of March 31, 2005, the aggregate principal amount of our
secured debt was $1.9 billion, excluding unamortized debt
premiums of $11.6 million. Of the $1.9 billion of
secured debt, $1.4 billion is secured by properties in our
joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and
bears interest at rates varying from 0.7% to 10.4% per
annum (with a weighted average rate of 5.1%) and final maturity
dates ranging from April 2005 to November 2022. As of
March 31, 2005, $1.8 billion of the secured debt
obligations bears interest at fixed rates with a weighted
average interest rate of 6.4% while the remaining
$119.4 million bears interest at variable rates (with a
weighted average interest rate of 1.6%).
As of March 31, 2005, we had issued an aggregate of
$1.0 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which
bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.6% and had an average
term of 4.3 years. These unsecured senior debt securities
include $400.0 million of medium-term notes, which were
issued under our 2000 medium-term note program, and
$225.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued
under our 2002 medium-term note program. As of March 31,
2005, our 2002 medium-term note program has a remaining capacity
of $175.0 million. We intend to continue to issue
medium-term notes, guaranteed by AMB Property Corporation, under
the 2002 program from time to time and as market conditions
permit.
AMB Property Corporation guarantees our obligations with respect
to our senior debt securities. If we are unable to refinance or
extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with
proceeds from other capital transactions, then our cash flow may
be insufficient to pay distributions to our unitholders in all
years and to repay debt upon maturity. Furthermore, if
prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of
refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to make
commercial real estate loans) result in higher interest rates
upon 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 make distributions to
our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
Credit Facilities. On June 1, 2004, we completed the
early renewal of our senior unsecured revolving line of credit
in the amount of $500.0 million. AMB Property Corporation
remains a guarantor of our obligations under the credit
facility. The three-year credit facility includes a
multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million
can be drawn in Yen, Euros or British Pounds Sterling. The line,
which matures in June 2007 and carries a one-year extension
option, can be increased up to $700.0 million upon certain
conditions, and replaces our previous $500.0 million credit
facility that was to mature in December 2005. The rate on the
borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on our
long-term debt rating, which is currently 60 basis points
with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points, based on
the current credit rating of our long-term debt. We use our
unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding
development activity and general working capital requirements.
The total amount available under the credit facility fluctuates
based upon the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement
governing the credit facility, which is generally based upon the
value of our unencumbered properties. As of March 31, 2005,
the outstanding balance on the credit facility was
$214.7 million and the remaining amount available was
$271.1 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of
$14.2 million (excluding the additional $200.0 million
of potential additional capacity). The outstanding balance
included borrowings denominated in Euros and Yen, which, using
the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2005, would equal
approximately $98.0 million and $45.7 million in
U.S. dollars, respectively. As of March 31, 2005, we
had an additional outstanding balance of $32.4 million on
other credit facilities.
On June 29, 2004, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., one of our
subsidiaries, entered into an unsecured revolving credit
agreement providing for loans or letters of credit in a maximum
principal amount outstanding at any time of up to
24 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on
March 31, 2005, equaled approximately $224.0 million
U.S. dollars. We, along with AMB Property Corporation,
guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the
revolving credit facility, as well as the obligations of
30
any other entity in which the operating partnership directly or
indirectly owns an ownership interest, and which is selected
from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the
revolving credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the
proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and
development of properties and for other real estate purposes in
Japan. Generally, borrowers under the revolving credit facility
have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings
under the revolving credit facility with certain real estate
assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets.
The revolving credit facility matures in June 2007 and has a
one-year extension option, which is subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal
to 0.25% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at
that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a
margin, which is based on the current credit rating of our
long-term debt and is currently 60 basis points. In
addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in quarterly
amounts, which is based on the credit rating of our long-term
debt, and is currently 20 basis points of the outstanding
commitments under the facility. As of March 31, 2005, the
outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange
rate in effect on March 31, 2005, was $175.5 million
in U.S. dollars.
On November 24, 2004, AMB Tokai TMK, one of our Japanese
subsidiaries, entered into a secured multi-advance project
financing, providing for loans in a maximum principal amount
outstanding at any time of up to 20 billion Yen, which,
using the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2005, would
equal approximately $186.7 million U.S. dollars. The
financing agreement is among AMB Tokai TMK, us, AMB Property
Corporation, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and a syndicate
of banks. We, along with AMB Property Corporation, jointly and
severally guarantee AMB Tokai TMKs obligations under the
financing agreement, pursuant to a guaranty of payment executed
in connection with the project financing. The financing is
secured by a mortgage on certain real property located in Tokai,
Tokyo, Japan, and matures on October 31, 2006 with a
one-year extension option. The rate on the borrowings will
generally be TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the credit
rating of our long-term debt and is currently 60 basis
points per annum, except that AMB Tokai TMK has purchased from
Sumitomo an interest rate swap, which has fixed the interest
rate payable on a principal amount equal to 13 billion Yen
at 1.32% per annum plus the applicable margin. In addition,
there is an annual commitment fee based on unused commitments,
payable quarterly, which is based on the credit rating of our
long-term debt, and is currently 20 basis points of the
amount of unused commitments. The financing agreement contains
customary and other affirmative covenants, including financial
reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial
ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the
incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or
consolidations. In addition, we, Sumitomo and AMB Tokai TMK
signed a commitment letter on November 24, 2004, pursuant
to which Sumitomo committed to purchase bonds that may be issued
by AMB Tokai TMK in an amount between 10 billion Yen and
15 billion Yen (such amount to be determined by AMB Tokai
TMK). The bonds would be secured by the AMB Ohta Distribution
Center and would generally accrue interest at a rate of TIBOR
plus 1.10% per annum; because the swap purchased by AMB
Tokai TMK from Sumitomo is coterminous with the maturity date of
the proposed bonds, AMB Tokai TMK will have fixed the interest
rate payable on, in general, a principal amount equal to
13 billion Yen at 2.42% per annum. The bonds, if
issued, would mature on October 31, 2012. As of
March 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on this financing
agreement was 16.5 billion Yen, which, using the exchange
rate in effect on March 31, 2005, equaled approximately
$154.0 million U.S. dollars.

Our share of total debt is the pro rata portion of the total
debt based on our percentage of equity interest in each of the
consolidated or unconsolidated ventures holding the debt. We
believe that our share of total debt is a meaningful
supplemental measure, which enables both management and
investors to analyze our leverage and to compare our leverage to
that of other companies. In addition, it allows for a more
meaningful comparison of our debt to that of other companies
that do not consolidate their joint ventures. Our share of total
debt is not intended to reflect our actual liability should
there be a default under any or all of such loans or a
liquidation of the joint ventures. The above table reconciles
our share of total debt to total consolidated debt, a GAAP
financial measure. |
|
(4) |
Our secured debt and joint venture debt include debt related to
international assets in the amount of $294.4 million. Of
this, $210.3 million is associated with assets located in
Asia and the remaining $84.1 million is related to assets
located in Europe. |

and our common limited partnership units multiplied by the
closing price per share of our general partners common
stock as of March 31, 2005. Our definition of
preferred is preferred equity liquidation
preferences. Our share of total book capitalization is defined
as our share of total debt plus minority interests to preferred

Liquidity
As of March 31, 2005, we had $167.8 million in cash
and cash equivalents (of which $104.6 million was held by
our consolidated co-investment joint ventures), and
$337.1 million of additional available borrowings under our
credit facilities. As of March 31, 2005, we had
$47.3 million in restricted cash (of which
$14.8 million was held by our consolidated co-investment
joint ventures).
We announced our intention to pay a regular cash distribution
for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 of $0.440 per
common unit. The distributions were payable on April 15,
2005 to unitholders of record on April 5, 2005. The
series L and M preferred unit distributions were payable on
April 15, 2005 to our general partner, AMB Property
Corporation, as the sole unitholder. The series E, F, J and
K preferred unit quarterly distributions were payable on
April 15, 2005. The series D, H and I preferred unit

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from
operations, will not allow us to retire all of our debt as it
comes due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with
net proceeds from future debt or limited partnership offerings
(including issuances of limited partnership units by our
subsidiaries), as well as property divestitures. However, we may
not be able to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at
all. Our inability to obtain future financings on favorable
terms or at all would adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow and ability to make
distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
Capital Commitments
Developments. In addition to recurring capital
expenditures, which consist of building improvements and leasing
costs incurred to renew or re-tenant space, during the three
months ended March 31, 2005, we initiated six new
industrial development projects in North America with a total
expected investment of $60.4 million, aggregating
approximately 0.6 million square feet, and one new
industrial development project in Amsterdam with a total
expected investment of $29.6 million, aggregating
approximately 0.2 million square feet. As of March 31,
2005, we had 35 projects in our development pipeline
representing a total estimated investment of $881.2 million
upon completion, of which four industrial projects with a total
of 1.2 million square feet and an aggregate estimated
investment of $55.0 million upon completion are held in
unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we held four
development projects available for sale, representing a total
estimated investment of $26.9 million upon completion. Of
this total, $594.4 million had been funded as of
March 31, 2005 and an estimated $286.8 million was
required to complete current and planned projects. We expect to
fund these expenditures with cash from operations, borrowings
under our credit facility, debt or limited partnership unit
issuances (including issuances of limited partnership units by
our subsidiaries), net proceeds from property divestitures and
private capital from co-investment partners, which could have an
adverse effect on our cash flow.
Acquisitions. During the three months ended
March 31, 2005, we acquired six industrial buildings,
aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet for a
total expected investment of $77.8 million, through three
of our co-investment joint ventures. Additional acquisition
activity in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 included the
purchase of an approximate 43% unconsolidated equity interest in
G.Accion, one of Mexicos largest real estate companies,
for $46.1 million. We generally fund our acquisitions
through private capital contributions, borrowings under our
credit facility, cash, debt issuances and net proceeds from
property divestitures.
Lease Commitments. We have entered into operating ground
leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities
and office space with remaining lease terms from two to
58 years.
Co-investment Joint Ventures. We enter into co-investment
joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment
joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and
provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain
acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as
well as private capital income. As of March 31, 2005, we
had investments in co-investment joint ventures with a gross
book value of $2.6 billion, which are consolidated for
financial reporting purposes, and net equity investments in an
unconsolidated co-investment joint venture of
$10.8 million. As of March 31, 2005, we may make
additional capital contributions to current and planned
co-investment joint ventures of up to $46.3 million. From
time to time, we may raise additional equity commitments for AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended
consolidated co-investment joint venture formed in 2004 with
institutional investors, which invest through a private real
estate investment trust, which would increase our obligation to
make additional capital commitments. Pursuant to the terms of
the partnership agreement
34
of this fund, we are obligated to contribute 20% of the total
equity commitments to the fund until such time our total equity
commitment is greater than $150 million, at which time, our
obligation is reduced to 10% of the total equity commitments. We
expect to fund these contributions with cash from operations,
borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or limited
partnership unit issuances (including issuances of limited
partnership units by our subsidiaries), net proceeds from
property divestitures and private capital from co-investment
partners, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow.
Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001, we formed a
wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National
Insurance Ltd., which provides insurance coverage for all or a
portion of losses below the deductible under our third-party
policies. We capitalized Arcata National Insurance Ltd. in
accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata
National Insurance Ltd. established annual premiums based on
projections derived from the past loss experience of our
properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to
perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims,
related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund
associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata
National Insurance Ltd. may be adjusted based on this estimate.
Premiums paid to Arcata National Insurance Ltd. have a
retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses,
deductibles and reserves, are less than premiums collected, the
excess may be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as
appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, subject to
certain limitations, if expenses, including losses, deductibles
and reserves, are greater than premiums collected, an additional
premium will be charged. As with all recoverable expenses,
differences between estimated and actual insurance premiums are
recognized in the subsequent year. Through this structure, we
believe that we have more comprehensive insurance coverage at an
overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the
market.
Potential Unknown Liabilities. Unknown liabilities may
include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
liabilities for clean-up or remediation of undisclosed
environmental conditions; |
|
|
|
claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our
predecessors prior to our formation transactions that had not
been asserted prior to our formation transactions; |
|
|
|
accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business; |
|
|
|
tax liabilities; and |
|
|
|
claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our
general partners predecessors and others indemnified by
these entities. |
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Standby Letters of Credit. As of March 31, 2005, we
had provided approximately $26.8 million in letters of
credit, of which $14.2 million was provided under our
$500.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of
credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease
provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.
Guarantees. Other than parent guarantees associated with
our unsecured debt, as of March 31, 2005, we had
outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount of
$33.6 million in connection with certain acquisitions and
lease obligations of which $7.9 million was backed by
standby letters of credit. As of March 31, 2005, we
guaranteed $2.8 million and $4.5 million on
outstanding loans for one of our consolidated joint ventures and
two of our unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
Additionally, we provided a take out guarantee after the
completion of construction on the aggregate construction loan
amount of $30.2 million, if permanent financing can not be
obtained upon stabilization for two of our unconsolidated joint
ventures, of which $23.0 million was outstanding as of
March 31, 2005.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of March 31, 2005,
we had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate
amount of $1.2 million. These bonds were issued in
connection with certain of our development projects and were
posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction
of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such
as grading, sewers and streets. Performance and surety bonds are
commonly required by public agencies from real estate
developers. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and
expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of
the improvements and infrastructure.
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.
Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the
occurrence of certain events, we may be obligated to make
payments to certain of our joint venture partners pursuant to
the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with
us. From time to time in the normal course of our business, we
enter into various contracts with third parties that may
obligate us to make payments or perform other obligations upon
the occurrence of certain events.

SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MEASURES
FFO. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is
the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider
funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(NAREIT), to be a useful supplemental measure of our
operating performance. FFO is defined as net income, calculated
in accordance with GAAP, less gains (or losses) from
dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and
real estate-related depreciation, and adjustments to derive our
pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint
ventures. Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects
of non-recurring charges. We believe that FFO, as defined by
NAREIT, is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating
performance because historical cost accounting for real estate
assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value
of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as
reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses.
However, since real estate values have historically risen or
fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors
and analysts have considered presentation of operating results
for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to
be insufficient. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental
measure of operating performance for real estate investment
trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and
amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by
GAAP. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required
GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the
understanding of operating results of real estate investment
trusts, such as AMB Property Corporation, our general partner,
among the investing public and making comparisons of operating
results among such companies more meaningful. We consider FFO to
be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and
financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses
related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate
assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO can
help the investing public compare the operating performance of a
companys real estate between periods or as compared to
other companies.
While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating
performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not
represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those
measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance.
FFO also does not consider the costs associated with capital
expenditures related to our real estate assets nor is FFO
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash
requirements. Further, our computation of FFO may not be
comparable to FFO reported by other real estate investment
trusts that do not define the term in accordance with the
current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT
definition differently than we do.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk |
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market
prices, interest rates and international exchange rates. Our
future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing
market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching
projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing
activities with projected cash outflows for debt service,
acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to unitholders
and payments to noteholders, and other cash requirements. The
majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which
minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure
to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection
with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings
and our ability to incur more debt without unitholder or
noteholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service
obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of
March 31, 2005, we had two outstanding interest rate swaps
with aggregate notional amount of $131.3 million (in
U.S. dollars) and one foreign exchange option with notional
amount of $6.2 million (in U.S. dollars). See
Part I, Item 2: Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Liquidity and Capital

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased
by 10%, then the increase in interest expense on the variable
rate debt would be $1.2 million annually. As of
March 31, 2005, the book value and the estimated fair value
of our total consolidated debt (both secured and unsecured) was
$3.5 billion based on our estimate of current market
interest rates.
As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, variable
rate debt comprised 17.7% and 15.3%, respectively, of all our
outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $592.0 million and
$498.3 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2005 and
December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily due to higher
outstanding balances on our credit facilities. This increase in
our variable rate debt increases our risk associated with
unfavorable interest rate fluctuations.
Financial Instruments. We record all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with an
offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. For
revenues or expenses denominated in non-functional currencies,
we may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign
currency exchange rate risk. Our derivative financial
instruments in effect at March 31, 2005 were two interest
rate swaps hedging cash flows of our variable rate borrowings
based on Euribor (Europe) and
39
Japanese TIBOR (Japan), and one put option (buy CAD/sell USD)
hedging against adverse currency exchange fluctuations of the
Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. The following

International Operations. Our exposure to market risk
also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk. The
U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries
operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional
currency for our subsidiaries operating outside North America is
generally the local currency of the country in which the entity
is located, mitigating the effect of foreign exchange gains and
losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the
U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into
U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the
exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. We
translate income statement accounts using the average exchange
rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions
using the rate on the transaction date. The losses resulting
from the translation are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income as a separate component of partners
capital and totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2005.
Our international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated
in currencies other than their functional currency. In these
instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at
the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities
are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the
period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the
average exchange rate for the period. For the three months ended
March 31, 2005, gains from remeasurement included in our
results of operations was $0.3 million.
We also record gains or losses in the income statement when a
transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other
than the entitys functional currency, is settled and the
functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than
expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the
transaction was initiated. We believe that these gains or losses
are immaterial.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our chief executive officer, president and chief
financial officer of our general partner, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and our management was required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain
unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the
equity method of accounting. As we do not control or manage
these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with
respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more
limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated
subsidiaries.
40
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with participation of our management, including
our chief executive officer, president and chief financial
officer of our general partner, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
that were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this
report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer,
president and chief financial officer of our general partner
each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have been no other changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
