PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
PROLOGIS TRUST
ProLogis Trust ("ProLogis") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that
operates a global network of industrial distribution facilities. ProLogis owns
(directly, through consolidated entities or through investments in other real
estate entities accounted for under the equity method) 162.3 million square feet
of industrial distribution facilities operating or under development and 365.9
million cubic feet of temperature-controlled distribution facilities operating
or under development (including 35.5 million cubic feet of dry distribution
space located in temperature-controlled facilities) located throughout North
America and Europe. This network of distribution facilities makes ProLogis the
largest publicly held U.S.-based, global owner and lessor of industrial
distribution and temperature-controlled distribution facilities. The ProLogis
Operating System(TM), comprised of the Market Services Group, the Global
Services Group, the Global Development Group and the Integrated Solutions Group,
utilizes ProLogis' international network of distribution facilities to meet its
customers' distribution space needs globally. ProLogis believes it has
distinguished itself from its competition by developing an organizational
structure and service delivery system built around its customers. ProLogis
believes that its service approach, which combines international scope and
expertise and a strong local presence in each of its target markets, makes it
attractive to its targeted customer base that includes the largest global users
of distribution facilities. ProLogis is organized under Maryland law and has
elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").
ProLogis' business strategy is designed to: 1) achieve long-term
sustainable growth in cash flow; 2) reduce the need for ProLogis to issue
additional public debt or public equity capital; and 3) increase the overall
return on equity for shareholders. ProLogis has organized its business into
three operating segments in order to achieve its objectives. For a discussion of
certain financial information regarding each segment see Note 18 and for a
discussion of ProLogis' investments in unconsolidated entities see Note 5 to
ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. These three segments are:
- Property Operations -- The long-term ownership, management and leasing of
industrial distribution facilities in North America and Europe, primarily
distribution space that is adaptable for both distribution and light
manufacturing or assembly uses. This segment generates income from rents
and reimbursement of property operating expenses from unaffiliated
customers and earns management fees from entities in which it has an
ownership interest. As of December 31, 1999, in this operating segment
ProLogis owned and operated (directly, through consolidated entities or
through investments in other real estate entities that are accounted for
under the equity method) 148.5 million square feet of industrial
distribution facilities at an investment of $5.4 billion (133.7 million
square feet at an investment of $4.6 billion for properties that are
owned directly by ProLogis and its consolidated entities). Of the total,
137.9 million square feet are located in North America and the remaining
10.6 million square feet are located in Europe. Also, as of December 31,
1999, ProLogis and its consolidated entities owned 2.7 million square
feet of facilities under development with a total budgeted cost of $98.7
million, all located in North America. Upon completion, these facilities
are expected to become a part of ProLogis' operating portfolio.
- Corporate Distribution Facilities Services Business -- Development of
industrial distribution facilities for future sale to unaffiliated
customers or entities in which ProLogis has an ownership interest or for
a development fee for unaffiliated customers in North America and Europe.
In addition, entities in which ProLogis has an ownership interest that
own and operate industrial distribution facilities acquire facilities
from ProLogis or its affiliates that were developed within this operating
segment. ProLogis' investments in these other entities, and fees earned
from these entities, are reflected in ProLogis' property operations
segment. The development activities in this operating segment are
performed directly by ProLogis, by a consolidated entity in which
ProLogis recognizes substantially all of the economic benefits or through
an unconsolidated entity that is accounted for under the equity method in
which ProLogis recognizes substantially all of the economic benefits.
Income from this segment is derived from the profit resulting from the
sale of the facilities developed and from fees paid by customers for the
development of a facility
1
4
on their behalf. As of December 31, 1999, ProLogis had, either directly,
through its consolidated entity or through an unconsolidated entity, 10.2
million square feet of facilities under development with a total budgeted
cost of $543.0 million (8.0 million square feet at a total budgeted
development cost of $325.5 million for properties owned directly by
ProLogis and its consolidated entity). Also as of December 31, 1999,
ProLogis owned or controlled, either directly, through its consolidated
entity or through an unconsolidated entity, 4,832 acres of land for the
future development of approximately 80.1 million square feet of
industrial distribution facilities (3,020 acres of land for the future
development of approximately 51.6 million square feet on properties owned
directly by ProLogis and its consolidated entity). Upon completion, these
facilities are expected to be sold to customers or to entities in which
ProLogis has an ownership interest.
- Temperature-Controlled Distribution Operations -- Operation of
temperature-controlled distribution facilities where fees are earned from
unaffiliated customers for various services associated with a
temperature-controlled distribution environment. Such services include:
1) total supply chain management; 2) management of customer inventory and
related services, (i.e. case picking, sorting, labeling, stenciling,
shrink wrapping and blast freezing); 3) temperature-controlled product
consolidation and transportation services; and 4) third-party logistics
services and facility management for leading grocery retailers. In this
segment, ProLogis recognizes substantially all of the economic benefits
of two companies that are accounted for under the equity method. As of
December 31, 1999, these unconsolidated entities owned or operated 359.9
million cubic feet of temperature-controlled distribution space
(including 35.5 million cubic feet of dry distribution space located in
temperature-controlled facilities) and had 6.1 million cubic feet of
temperature-controlled distribution space under development. Of the total
cubic feet in operation, 167.6 million cubic feet are located in North
America and 192.3 million cubic feet are located in nine European
countries. Of the facilities under development, 4.8 million cubic feet
are located in North America (Atlanta) and 1.3 million cubic feet are
located in Europe (Denmark).
1999 Operating Performance
ProLogis' 12.2% growth in funds from operations (on a per share basis) in
1999 over 1998 was driven by its successful operating and investment strategies.
Total funds from operations increased by $91.8 million from $228.4 million in
1998 to $320.2 million in 1999. The contribution to total funds from operations
by ProLogis' operating segments for 1999 and 1998 is as follows (see also Note
18 to ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8):
- 70.6% and 78.2% of total funds from operations is attributable to the
property operations segment in 1999 and 1998, respectively;
- 20.3% and 8.1% of total funds from operations is attributable to the
corporate distribution facilities services business segment in 1999 and
1998, respectively; and
- 9.2% and 13.6% of total funds from operations is attributable to the
temperature-controlled distribution operations segment in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Funds from operations is a performance measure used by REITs and is defined
and discussed in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources -- Funds
from Operations".
ProLogis' net operating income (rental revenues less rental expenses)
increased from $317.9 million in 1998 to $458.3 million in 1999. ProLogis
generated earnings from operations of $166.5 million in 1999, an increase of
$58.9 million over 1998. ProLogis' cash flow provided by operating activities
for 1999 was $271.4 million, an increase of $33.1 million over 1998. Net
earnings attributable to Common Shares of $124.0 million in 1999 was nearly two
times greater than the 1998 amount of $62.2 million. See ProLogis' Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8.

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OPERATING SEGMENTS
Business Strategy
ProLogis was originally formed in 1991 with the objective of building a
distribution and light manufacturing asset base at costs significantly below
replacement cost and a land inventory for the future development of distribution
facilities. Additionally, ProLogis intended to create a national operating
company that would differentiate itself from its competition through its ability
to meet a corporate customer's distribution facility requirements on a national,
regional and local basis. In 1997, ProLogis expanded its property operations
into Mexico and Europe to meet the needs of its targeted national and
international customers as they expanded and reconfigured their distribution
facility requirements globally. To enhance its North American property
operations and service platform, ProLogis completed a merger with Meridian
Industrial Trust Inc. ("Meridian"), a publicly held REIT, in March 1999 (the
"Meridian Merger"). The Meridian Merger added 32.2 million square feet of
operating facilities, 228 acres of land for future development and 15.2 million
cubic feet of temperature-controlled distribution facilities to ProLogis'
holdings. The Meridian Merger is discussed in Note 3 to ProLogis' Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8 and in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Results of
Operations -- Meridian Merger".
Having established its core property operations business, in 1997 and 1998
ProLogis expanded its service platform by acquiring an international
temperature-controlled distribution network. Also, to enhance its corporate
distribution facilities services business, ProLogis acquired an industrial
distribution development company with extensive holdings in the United Kingdom
in August 1998.
To further its objective of increasing cash flows without the need to raise
additional capital through direct public debt and public equity offerings,
ProLogis expanded its operations in Europe through the formation of the ProLogis
European Properties Fund in September 1999 (see Note 5 to ProLogis' Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8). The ProLogis European Properties Fund, in which
ProLogis maintains an ownership interest, enables ProLogis to take advantage of
the growth opportunities in the European industrial distribution industry by
accessing over 1.06 billion euros (the currency equivalent of $1.07 billion as
of December 31, 1999 based on currency exchange rates quoted by Reuters) of
third party equity capital that has been committed to the ProLogis European
Properties Fund by a group of institutional investors. Formation of the ProLogis
European Properties Fund enhances the ProLogis Operating System(TM) because the
capital commitments secured through this entity will allow ProLogis to expand
its operating platform in Europe.
Additionally, in the third quarter of 1999, ProLogis sold over $550 million
of real estate assets to a limited liability company in which ProLogis has a 50%
equity interest. The formation of this company and subsequent sale of assets
allowed ProLogis to privately raise additional capital to be used for its
investment activities. See Note 5 to ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements
in Item 8.
Also in 1999, ProLogis formed its Integrated Solutions Group (see "--
ProLogis Operating System(TM) -- Integrated Solutions Group") with the objective
of increasing ProLogis' service income thereby growing cash flows in a less
capital intensive manner.
ProLogis' network of distribution facilities has positioned it to become
the global leader in this rapidly consolidating industry. ProLogis' three
operating segments, property operations, corporate distribution facilities
services business and temperature-controlled distribution operations, are
discussed below.
Property Operations Segment
Investments
In the property operations segment, ProLogis owned and operated (directly,
through its consolidated entities or through investments in other real estate
entities accounted for under the equity method) 1,424 industrial distribution
facilities aggregating 148.5 million square feet as of December 31, 1999.
ProLogis' investment strategy with respect to the property operations segment is
to focus its development and acquisition activities primarily on generic
distribution facilities with an average office finish level of less than 10%.
ProLogis' distribution space is adaptable for both distribution and light
manufacturing or assembly uses. ProLogis has invested in selected distribution
markets in North America and Europe where ProLogis believes the distribution
3
6
dynamics are strong and supply and demand factors allow for high occupancy
levels and increasing rental rates. The market characteristics ProLogis
evaluates include: 1) growth in imports and exports that represent favorable
distribution growth prospects for distribution space; 2) markets possessing
long-term cost and quality of labor advantages for domestic and international
manufacturers (such as markets benefitting from the U.S./Mexico twin plant
program); and 3) markets with strong potential for distribution growth,
generally indicated by their proximity to large regional and local population
centers with good access to transportation networks, by cost advantages in terms
of transportation rates and state income and inventory taxes or by a high ratio
of distribution space per capita.
Property operations segment investment activities in 1999 included the
following:
- In March 1999, the Meridian Merger was completed which added 32.2 million
square feet of operating facilities in 25 markets in the United States.
- In August 1999, ProLogis sold 78 operating facilities aggregating 11.5
million square feet, two properties under development and two land
parcels to a limited liability company, ProLogis California I LLC
("ProLogis California"), in which ProLogis has a 50% equity interest.
ProLogis continues to manage the facilities in addition to providing
leasing and development management services to ProLogis California. See
"Item 2. Properties -- Unconsolidated Entities" and Note 5 to ProLogis'
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
- In September 1999, the ProLogis European Properties Fund began operations
with the acquisition of 12 operating facilities aggregating 2.2 million
square feet. The facilities were acquired from ProLogis and from
Kingspark Group Holdings Limited ("ProLogis Kingspark"), an entity in
which ProLogis owns 100% of the preferred stock (representing
substantially all of the economic benefits). ProLogis Kingspark develops
industrial distribution facilities in the United Kingdom. In December
1999, the ProLogis European Properties Fund acquired six additional
operating facilities aggregating 1.1 million square feet from ProLogis
and ProLogis Kingspark. ProLogis manages the assets of the ProLogis
European Properties Fund and earns fees for these services. ProLogis had
a 19.68% ownership interest in the ProLogis European Properties Fund as
of December 31, 1999. On January 7, 2000, ProLogis contributed 50.1% of
the common stock of one of its wholly owned European entities to the
ProLogis European Properties Fund. As of December 31, 1999, this entity
owned real estate with a net book value of $334.9 million (61 buildings
aggregating 6.8 million square feet) and held secured debt of $142.7
million and unsecured debt of $30.9 million. After this contribution,
ProLogis' ownership in the ProLogis European Properties Fund was
increased to 44.29%. ProLogis is committed to contributing the remaining
49.9% of the common stock of this entity to the ProLogis European
Properties Fund in January 2001. See "Item 2. Properties -- Facilities",
"Item 2. Properties--Unconsolidated Entities" and Note 5 to ProLogis'
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
- During 1999, ProLogis completed the development of 4.5 million square
feet of facilities at a total budgeted development cost of $179.8 for use
in the property operations segment. As of December 31, 1999, ProLogis had
2.7 million square feet of facilities under development with a total
budgeted development cost of $98.7 million that, upon completion, are
expected to be included in ProLogis' operating portfolio.
- Acquisitions of existing distribution facilities were limited to two
buildings in Mexico aggregating 98,000 square feet.
Operations
The property operations segment generated 85% of ProLogis' total revenues
in 1999 (including amounts recognized under the equity method with respect to
ProLogis' unconsolidated entities). This segment generated 94% of revenues in
both 1998 and 1997 (including amounts recognized under the equity method with
respect to ProLogis' unconsolidated entities). See Note 18 to ProLogis'
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

7
Operational achievements in this operating segment in 1999 included the
following:
- ProLogis' stabilized industrial distribution facilities portfolio of
141.6 million square feet (including facilities directly owned, owned by
consolidated entities or owned by unconsolidated entities) was 96.52%
leased (96.02% occupied) as of December 31, 1999. Also, as of December
31, 1999, ProLogis' total operating portfolio of 148.5 million square
feet (including facilities owned by ProLogis' consolidated and
unconsolidated entities) was 94.95% leased (94.45% occupied). Stabilized
facilities are those in which capital improvements, repositioning, new
management and new marketing programs (or development and marketing, in
the case of newly developed facilities) have been in effect for a
sufficient period of time (but in no case longer than 12 months) to
achieve stabilized occupancy (typically 93%, but ranging from 90% to 95%,
depending on the submarket and product type).
- During 1999, ProLogis, its consolidated and unconsolidated entities
leased 33.2 million square feet of distribution space in 1,122
transactions. Rental rates on both new leases and renewals of leases on
previously leased space increased 15.5% in 1999 and the weighted average
customer retention rate was 68.1% in 1999.
Market Presence
The facilities in the property operations segment that are owned directly
by ProLogis or through its consolidated entities are located in 46 cities in
North America and seven cities in Europe. As of December 31, 1999, no individual
market represents more than 10% of ProLogis' total real estate assets. ProLogis'
largest markets (based on cost) are Dallas/Fort Worth (8.5%), Chicago (6.8%),
Atlanta (6.7%), Paris, France (6.3%), San Francisco (South Bay) (5.11%) and San
Francisco (East Bay) (4.9%). All of the facilities owned by ProLogis California
are located in the Los Angeles market. The 18 facilities owned by the ProLogis
European Properties Fund are located in 13 markets in Europe.
ProLogis has sought to achieve significant market presence through the
development and acquisition of master-planned distribution parks in its target
market cities and selected submarkets of those cities. The target market cities
and submarkets are selected when ProLogis' market research indicates that the
long-term demand for distribution and light manufacturing space is stable to
strong. The primary factors influencing future supply and demand for
distribution facilities in ProLogis' target market cities will be continued job
and population growth, import/export growth, related regional and local company
growth, potential for reconfiguration of existing distribution networks and
quality and cost of labor.
ProLogis defines market presence not only in terms of square feet of
facilities and acres of development land owned, but also by the extent ProLogis
has developed relationships with customers in such markets. ProLogis' operating
strategy is designed to meet the needs of today's distribution space users,
which means providing functional, cost-effective facilities with a comprehensive
level of service. ProLogis aims to shape the future trends of the industry
through innovation, service and product leadership. ProLogis believes that by
being a significant local owner and developer in a given market, it can generate
high relative rental rates and occupancy levels, primarily because it has the
ability to reduce turnover by meeting its customers' needs to either expand or
contract. With its network of industrial distribution facilities and land
positions, ProLogis is able to either relocate customers within its existing
inventory of distribution space or develop new facilities to meet the customer's
needs.
In addition, a strong market presence provides ProLogis with increased
access to potential leasing and corporate distribution facilities services
transactions. ProLogis' experience has been that many members of the industrial
brokerage community and many corporate users are motivated to develop
relationships with the significant owners and developers in a particular market
to facilitate their respective distribution needs. Having the opportunity to
compete for a large percentage of the space requirements in each market is a
crucial factor in achieving ProLogis' operating objectives.
5
8
Competition
In general, there are numerous other industrial facilities located in close
proximity to ProLogis' facilities. The amount of rentable space available in any
market could have a material effect on ProLogis' ability to rent space and on
the rents charged. In addition, in many of ProLogis' submarkets, institutional
investors and owners and developers of industrial facilities (including other
REITs) compete for the acquisition, development and leasing of industrial space.
Many of these entities have substantial resources and experience. Competition
for acquisition of existing distribution facilities and land, both from
institutional capital sources and from other REITs, has increased over the past
several years.
Property Management
ProLogis provides active and effective management to directly serve its
customers at the local level -- a strategy that ProLogis believes will enhance
the long-term economic performance of its facilities and increase cash flow.
ProLogis' property management group seeks to provide exceptional customer
service and attention to customer needs. The group develops and implements
proprietary operating, recruiting and training systems to achieve consistent
levels of performance and professionalism throughout the ProLogis network. Of
facilities directly owned and owned by ProLogis' consolidated and unconsolidated
entities, ProLogis' property management group was managing 96.7% of ProLogis'
North American operating facilities and all of ProLogis' European facilities.
Customers
One of ProLogis' objectives is to develop a customer base in each market
that is diverse in terms of industry concentration and represents a broad
spectrum of international, national, regional and local distribution space users
who have potential for growth in demand for distribution space owned by
ProLogis. As of December 31, 1999, ProLogis (including its consolidated and
unconsolidated entities) had over 3,600 customers in 140.3 million square feet
of occupied industrial distribution space. ProLogis believes that having a large
number of customers with generic space requirements in each submarket reduces
ProLogis' exposure to overall occupancy declines. ProLogis' largest customer
accounted for less than 2% of ProLogis' 1999 rental income (on an annualized
basis) and the annualized base rent for ProLogis' 20 largest customers accounted
for approximately 14% of ProLogis' 1999 rental income (on an annualized basis).
Employees
ProLogis and its consolidated entities directly employ approximately 600
persons in North America and Europe. Of the total, approximately 350 employees
are assigned directly to the property operations segment. ProLogis' other
employees may provide assistance in this segment but are not directly assigned
to property operations. ProLogis believes its relationship with its employees to
be good. ProLogis' employees are not represented by a collective bargaining
agreement.
Seasonal Nature of the Business
The demand for industrial distribution space is not seasonal.
Future Plans
ProLogis' business plan for the property operations segment in North
America calls for development and acquisition of existing distribution
facilities to serve its customers, to enhance ProLogis' market presence in
specific submarkets and to take advantage of opportunities where ProLogis
believes it has the ability to achieve very favorable returns. ProLogis believes
that its current level of investment in this operating segment in North America,
including the facilities currently under development that will be part of the
operating portfolio upon completion, enables it to service its customers at a
high level and increase returns to shareholders.
ProLogis' market research and customer feedback identified strong demand
for distribution space in Europe as cross-border trade increases and many
companies move to consolidate and reconfigure their distribution
6
9
networks. Consolidation and the emergence of dominant regional distribution
centers provide opportunities for ProLogis as a single-source pan-European
provider of distribution facilities. Consequently, ProLogis' business plan for
the property operations segment in Europe emphasizes growth in key distribution
markets through the ProLogis European Properties Fund, primarily from the
development of facilities within ProLogis' corporate distribution facilities
services business segment that will be sold to the ProLogis European Properties
Fund and then managed by ProLogis.
ProLogis intends to self-fund its future investment activities in the
property operations segment through operating cash flow, the disposition of
non-strategic facilities and sales to the ProLogis European Properties Fund. The
non-strategic assets are identified as those facilities that provide ProLogis
with limited opportunities to increase cash flow and returns through increases
in occupancy levels and rental rates. See the discussion of factors that could
effect the future plans of ProLogis and its consolidated and unconsolidated
entities at "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition -- Risk Factors".
Corporate Distribution Facilities Services Business Segment
Investment
ProLogis operates its corporate distribution facilities services business
segment ("CDFS business") in North America directly or through a consolidated
entity in which ProLogis realizes substantially all of the economic benefits,
ProLogis Development Services Incorporated ("ProLogis Development Services")
(see "Item 2. Properties -- ProLogis Development Services"). In Europe
(excluding the United Kingdom), ProLogis directly operates its CDFS business
segment. In the United Kingdom, the CDFS business is operated by ProLogis
Kingspark, an unconsolidated entity in which ProLogis recognizes substantially
all of the economic benefits (see "Item 2. Properties -- Unconsolidated
Entities"). ProLogis' CDFS business is customer-driven in that ProLogis will
develop facilities for customers in locations desired by the customer. ProLogis
will then sell the facility and redeploy the capital into land acquisitions and
development opportunities. ProLogis does not intend to incur capital risk in
this operating segment. In situations where ProLogis' customers need a
specialized facility or need a facility in a market that ProLogis does not
consider to have favorable dynamics, ProLogis will meet the customer's needs on
a fee development basis only.
As of December 31, 1999, the CDFS business segment had 10.2 million square
feet of facilities under development with a total budgeted development cost of
$543.0 million (including 8.0 million square feet with a total budgeted
development cost of $325.5 million owned directly by ProLogis and ProLogis
Development Services). These facilities are being developed with the objective
of selling the facility to a third party or to an entity in which ProLogis has
an ownership interest. To the extent the facilities are sold to entities in
which ProLogis has an ownership interest, ProLogis' interest in the operations
of these facilities will be included in its property operations segment.
ProLogis, ProLogis Development Services and ProLogis Kingspark also earn fees
under development management agreements. During 1999, 2.1 million square feet
were developed under such agreements.
ProLogis, ProLogis Development Services and ProLogis Kingspark have land
positions (land owned or controlled through option, letter of intent,
development rights agreement or contingent contract) aggregating 4,832 acres
with the capacity for developing approximately 80.1 million square feet of
distribution facilities. Of the total land positions, 3,020 acres, with the
capacity for developing approximately 51.6 million square feet of distribution
facilities, are owned or controlled by ProLogis and ProLogis Development
Services. A significant portion of this land will be used within the CDFS
business to develop facilities that will either be sold to third parties or to
entities in which ProLogis has an ownership interest. However, some of the
acreage could be used for future developments of facilities that, when
completed, could be included in ProLogis' operating portfolio.
Investment activities in the CDFS business in 1999 included the following:
- Development starts aggregated 8.0 million square feet at a total budgeted
development cost of $498.6 million. Of these starts, 4.0 million square
feet at a total budgeted development cost of $355.8 million were in
Europe.
7
10
- Development completions aggregated 7.6 million square feet at a total
budgeted development cost of $403.5 million (3.1 million square feet at a
total budgeted development cost of $221.4 million located in Europe).
- Land acquisitions aggregating 938.1 acres in 1999, 724.7 acres in North
America and 213.4 acres in Europe. This land can be used for the
development of approximately 16.4 million square feet of distribution
facilities.
Operations
In 1999, the CDFS business generated $70.5 million of ProLogis' total
revenues as compared to 1998 and 1997 when the CDFS business generated $20.5
million and $12.3 million of total revenues, respectively. As a percentage of
total revenues, this operating segment has grown from 4% in 1997 to over 12% in
1999. In this operating segment, ProLogis recognizes its share of the net
earnings of ProLogis Kingspark under the equity method as a component of its
total revenues ($23.9 million in 1999 and $2.9 million for the period from
acquisition on August 14, 1998 to December 31, 1998). See Note 18 to ProLogis'
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
The primary source of income in the CDFS business segment is the aggregate
profits from dispositions of facilities. In addition, income in the CDFS
business segment includes development management fees, earned primarily by
ProLogis Kingspark. The CDFS business generated funds from operations of $76.5
million in 1999 ($28.9 million in North America and $47.6 million in Europe). Of
the total European contribution to funds from operations in the CDFS business
segment, ProLogis' share of ProLogis Kingspark's funds from operations was $29.8
million in 1999. In 1998 and 1997, the CDFS business generated funds from
operations of $22.2 million and $12.3 million, respectively. All of the funds
from operations generated by the CDFS business segment were from North America
in 1998 (except for ProLogis' share of ProLogis Kingspark's funds from
operations of $4.9 million) and 1997. Funds from operations is discussed and
defined at "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Funds from Operations".
Operational achievements in the CDFS business in 1999 included the
following:
- ProLogis, ProLogis Development Services and ProLogis Kingspark sold 6.5
million square feet of facilities with net sales proceeds of $512.9
million.
- ProLogis Kingspark had 1.2 million square feet of facilities being
developed on behalf of customers under development management agreements.
Fees earned by ProLogis Kingspark under such agreements were $5.4 million
in 1999.
Market Presence
ProLogis' CDFS business spans substantially all of the property operations
markets. Currently, ProLogis has facilities under development in this operating
segment in 24 markets (including six markets in Europe) and has land positions
in 39 markets (including six markets in Europe).
Competition
There are a number of other local, regional and national developers engaged
in industrial distribution facility development in the same North American
markets that ProLogis conducts business. Competition for land acquisitions, from
both institutional capital sources and other REITs, has increased over the past
several years. The disposition market in North America is competitive and is
driven by the supply of new developments and interest rate levels.
ProLogis believes that there are no other REITs or pan-European real estate
operating companies in direct competition with their operations in Europe.
However, there are a number of local and regional developers in ProLogis' target
markets. The formation of the ProLogis European Properties Fund allows ProLogis
and ProLogis Kingspark to sell the facilities it develops in the CDFS business
to the ProLogis European Properties Fund at independently appraised values (i.e.
95% of appraised value) which minimizes the effects of competition.
8
11
In addition, ProLogis, ProLogis Development Services and ProLogis Kingspark
believe that they have a significant competitive advantage based upon the
strategic locations of their extensive land positions owned or under control.
Also, as the only industrial distribution facilities and services provider
operating on a national, pan-European and global basis, ProLogis believes it has
differentiated itself from many of its competitors.
Customers
ProLogis leverages off its existing customer relationships, primarily
within the property operations segment and utilizes the ProLogis Operating
System(TM) in identifying and marketing its CDFS business. See "-- ProLogis
Operating System(TM)".
Employees
ProLogis and its consolidated entities directly employ approximately 600
persons in North America and Europe. Of the total, approximately 75 employees
perform development activities including activities related to the CDFS business
segment. ProLogis' other employees may provide assistance in this segment but
are not directly assigned to the CDFS business segment. ProLogis believes its
relationship with its employees to be good. ProLogis' employees are not
represented by a collective bargaining agreement.
ProLogis Kingspark employs 55 persons. ProLogis Kingspark's employees do
not participate in a collective bargaining agreement and ProLogis Kingspark
believes its relationship with its employees to be good.
Seasonal Nature of the Business
The demand for the industrial distribution facilities that are developed by
ProLogis' CDFS business is not impacted on a seasonal basis. However, the
development process can be impeded by weather, potentially delaying construction
completions, particularly during the winter months in certain markets.
Future Plans
ProLogis' objective is to utilize the capital generated in the CDFS
business to self-fund future CDFS business activities in North America and
Europe, thereby minimizing the need for ProLogis to raise additional direct
public debt and public equity capital. In addition, proceeds from the
disposition of non-strategic assets in the property operations segment can be
re-invested in higher yielding new development facilities within the CDFS
business segment. ProLogis' research indicates that favorable market conditions
are likely to continue in 2000 directly impacting this operating segment.
Specifically, a limited supply of new state-of-the-art distribution space in
Europe and the reconfiguration of supply chains necessitated by the increase in
e-commerce businesses globally should favorably impact demand for the facilities
and services provided by ProLogis within its CDFS operating segment.
ProLogis believes that significant shareholder value can be achieved by
expanding its service offerings to customers with limited need for ProLogis to
raise additional public debt and public equity capital. ProLogis will continue
to develop facilities for third parties and earn fees for these services in
2000. In addition, ProLogis has expanded the scope of the ProLogis Operating
System(TM) through the formation of the Integrated Solutions Group (see
"-- ProLogis Operating System(TM) -- Integrated Solutions Group"). The
Integrated Solutions Group will provide distribution-related services for
customers including network optimization tools, tax incentive analysis and tax
negotiation consulting, site selection and design consulting services. See the
discussion of factors that could effect the future plans of ProLogis, ProLogis
Development Services and ProLogis Kingspark at "Item 7. Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition -- Risk Factors".
Temperature-Controlled Distribution Operations
Investments
In April 1997, ProLogis expanded its services platform by acquiring CS
Integrated LLC a temperature-controlled-distribution company operating in the
United States. ProLogis recognizes substantially all of the economic benefits of
the entity that owns 100% of CS Integrated LLC (collectively, "CSI"). As of
December 31,
9
12
1999 CSI owned or operated 54 temperature-controlled distribution facilities
aggregating 167.6 million cubic feet (including 35.5 million cubic feet of dry
distribution space located in temperature-controlled facilities) and had 4.8
million cubic feet under development in Atlanta. In January 1998, ProLogis
acquired 100% of the preferred stock of a company in which it recognizes
substantially all of the economic benefits. This company owns, through its
wholly owned subsidiaries, 100% of a temperature-controlled distribution company
headquartered in Sweden, Frigoscandia AB (collectively, "Frigoscandia"). As of
December 31, 1999, Frigoscandia, which operates in nine European countries,
owned or operated 88 temperature-controlled distribution facilities aggregating
192.3 million cubic feet and had 1.3 million cubic feet under development in
Denmark. ProLogis accounts for its investments in CSI and Frigoscandia under the
equity method. See "Item 2. Properties -- Unconsolidated Entities" and Note 5 to
ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
In order to provide value-added supply chain management services to its
customers, CSI and Frigoscandia leverage their existing temperature-controlled
facilities network with information technology investments that increase the
velocity and visibility of inventory and information throughout the entire
supply chain. Additionally, CSI and Frigoscandia have and will continue to
expand their respective temperature-controlled capacity through expansion and
acquisition in selected markets that they believe will enhance their existing
network and provide opportunities for growth in operating profits and cash
flows. Accordingly, CSI added 53.5 million cubic feet of operating capacity in
1999, including 15.2 million cubic feet that was acquired in connection with the
Meridian Merger. The remaining increase resulted from additional capacity in the
retail dedicated segment (see "-- Operations"). Frigoscandia's cubic feet
capacity was constant throughout 1999. However, to better serve its key
customers, improvements and upgrades were made to its primary distribution
service centers in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden and Germany.
During 1999, both CSI and Frigoscandia enhanced and improved their
logistics information technology systems. These systems are being coordinated on
a global basis which, when completed, will enable CSI and Frigoscandia to
maximize synergies within and between the North American operations and the
European operations.
Operations
ProLogis recognizes its share of the net earnings of CSI and Frigoscandia
under the equity method as a component of its total revenues. For 1999,
ProLogis' share of the net earnings of CSI and Frigoscandia was $6.4 million. In
1998 and 1997, ProLogis' share of the net earnings of CSI and Frigoscandia was a
loss of $186,000 and income of $3.3 million, respectively. The income in 1997
consisted entirely of income from CSI. See Note 18 to ProLogis' Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8. ProLogis' share of the funds from operations of
CSI and Frigoscandia was $46.1 million in 1999 as compared to $45.7 million in
1998 and $3.3 million in 1997 (CSI only). Funds from operations is discussed and
defined at "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Funds from Operations".
In 1999, CSI increased its non-asset based retail dedicated business
segment, where CSI provides all logistics services (i.e. labor and
transportation) to supermarket retailers in distribution facilities not owned by
CSI. This business segment enables CSI to increase its revenues without
significantly increasing its invested capital.
Market Presence
Market presence in the temperature-controlled distribution industry is
generally defined by the volume available for storage of frozen and chilled
foods in addition to the transportation network in place to serve its customers.
With 54 facilities and 167.6 million cubic feet in operation (including 35.5
million cubic feet of dry distribution space operated in temperature-controlled
facilities), CSI has the third largest temperature-controlled distribution
network in the United States (based on cubic feet in operation). CSI's largest
markets (based on cubic feet in operation) are Phoenix (17.8%), Southeastern
Pennsylvania (15.2%), Atlanta (9.9%), Southern California (7.0%) and Chicago
(6.6%).
Frigoscandia is the largest temperature-controlled distribution company in
Europe with 88 facilities in 12 markets and nine countries, consisting of 192.3
million cubic square feet in operation and 1.3 million cubic
10
13
feet under development. Based on cubic feet in operation, France (36.9%), the
United Kingdom (24.0%) and Germany (14.4%) represent the largest concentrations
within Frigoscandia's service territory.
This strong market presence in both North America and Europe benefits CSI
and Frigoscandia in light of the trend toward industry consolidation. ProLogis
believes that CSI and Frigoscandia are well positioned to provide supply-chain
management services to major food manufacturers and retailers across multiple
markets.
Competition
In North America, CSI competes directly with several national
temperature-controlled distribution companies. However, the primary competition
in many markets is from local and considerably smaller warehouse operators. In
Europe, Frigoscandia has a distinct advantage over its competitors as few other
European temperature-controlled distribution companies have operations in more
than one market (as compared to the 12 markets in which Frigoscandia operates).
Additionally, Frigoscandia is the largest operator of temperature-controlled
distribution facilities in Europe, with a temperature-controlled storage volume
of approximately three times that of its closest competitor. The
temperature-controlled logistics industry has significant barriers to entry due
to its capital-intensive nature.
Customers
CSI has approximately 3,275 customers including some of the nation's
leading supermarket retailers in the United States. Of CSI's total revenues,
approximately 59% were derived from its 20 largest customers. CSI's largest
customer accounted for approximately 33% of total revenues. Frigoscandia has
approximately 6,000 customers and its largest customer accounted for
approximately 9% of total revenues. Frigoscandia's 20 largest customers
accounted for approximately 45% of total revenues.
The objective of the temperature-controlled distribution operations segment
is to develop a customer base with complementary needs to build a highly
effective consolidated supply chain for temperature-controlled foods. In
addition to the marketing efforts designed to meet this objective, CSI and
Frigoscandia have begun coordinated global marketing efforts aimed at leveraging
off their existing customer relationships with multinational companies.
Employees
CSI and Frigoscandia directly employ all employees in the
temperature-controlled distribution operations segment. CSI employs
approximately 3,700 persons in the United States, of whom approximately 41%
participate in collective bargaining agreements. Frigoscandia employs
approximately 2,800 persons in 12 European countries (including three countries
where Frigoscandia provides transportation services but has no temperature-
controlled distribution facilities), of whom approximately 80% participate in
collective bargaining agreements. Both CSI and Frigoscandia believe their
relationships with their employees to be good.
Seasonal Nature of the Business
The temperature-controlled distribution operations segment is seasonal, in
that demand for temperature-controlled distribution facilities is stronger
during the third quarter of the calendar year and is at its lowest level in the
first quarter of the calendar year. The seasonal nature of
temperature-controlled distribution operations coincides with the lower demand
for frozen foods, such as ice cream, during the winter months and the timing of
the harvests of various food crops in the third quarter of the year, which
increases the demand for temperature-controlled storage capacity during that
time.
Future Plans
ProLogis believes that the overall temperature-controlled logistics
industry supply and demand trends are positive and signal continued
consolidation, optimization and globalization. ProLogis views its investments in
CSI and Frigoscandia as one temperature-controlled distribution network
delivering worldwide temperature-controlled logistics solutions to national,
pan-European and global customers. Expansion into new markets in
11
14
North America and Europe will be considered to the extent that such expansion is
necessary to enable CSI and Frigoscandia to expand its services to the major
food manufacturers and retailers that operate across multiple markets and
internationally. These expansions are expected to be principally funded with
internal capital generated from the operations of each company. Strong emphasis
in the year 2000 will be placed on the global marketing of the varied service
offerings that CSI and Frigoscandia can provide to customers who can benefit
from a single-source global temperature-controlled logistics provider.
Additionally, investments in information technology in 2000 will enhance the
operation of both CSI and Frigoscandia by upgrading their warehouse management
systems and labor management systems thereby improving productivity and service
quality. These efforts will provide CSI and Frigoscandia with opportunities to
increase their service offerings, including integrated supply chain management,
transportation services and retail dedicated services without the need for
significant additional capital investments from ProLogis. See the discussion of
factors that could effect the future plans of ProLogis, CSI and Frigoscandia at
"Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition -- Risk Factors".
PROLOGIS OPERATING SYSTEM(TM)
The cornerstone of ProLogis' business strategy is the ProLogis Operating
System(TM). The ProLogis Operating System(TM) is comprised of the Market
Services Group, the Global Services Group, the Global Development Group and the
newly formed Integrated Solutions Group. The ProLogis Operating System(TM) is a
customer service delivery system that has been designed to provide substantial
benefits to existing and prospective ProLogis customers, including:
- Relocation Capability. Because user requirements can change frequently,
ProLogis' presence in over 50 North American and European markets permits
ProLogis to accommodate the reconfiguration needs of its customers by
relocating an existing customer within a market or between markets both
nationally and globally.
- Expansion Capability. ProLogis, through its development program, land
inventory and existing facilities, can work effectively with existing and
prospective customers whose growing business needs require them to expand
their distribution facilities. This expansion may result in relocating
the customer to larger ProLogis spaces within a market or in developing a
facility specifically for the customer.
- Development Capability. ProLogis' team of development professionals
builds generic facilities that will appeal to a wide variety of customers
or to specifically meet ProLogis' customers' needs. ProLogis incorporates
the latest technology with respect to building design and building
systems and has developed consistent standards and procedures that it
strictly adheres to in the development of all of its facilities.
- Centrally Coordinated Program. ProLogis provides a single point of
contact for multi-location global users of distribution facilities
through the Global Services Group, whose members are responsible for
building long-term customer relationships and ensuring that all of
ProLogis' services and products are consistent in quality. ProLogis'
experience to date suggests that many major corporate customers are
limiting the number of services providers that they work with to meet
their distribution facility requirements.
The customer focus of the ProLogis Operating System(TM) provides for a
high-quality service level and a single point of contact for distribution
solutions on a global basis and positions ProLogis to build customer
relationships that will generate additional business opportunities.
Market Services Group
The Market Services Group is comprised of five senior officers, 23 market
officers, three country officers in Europe and approximately 315 property
management and leasing employees. ProLogis' market officers have extensive
experience in marketing distribution space and are responsible for understanding
the needs of existing and prospective customers in their respective markets. To
meet such needs, market officers utilize their extensive knowledge of local
market conditions, including the cost and availability of alternative space, and
are supported by their team of property management and leasing professionals. A
key role of the market officers is assisting the
12
15
Global Services Group in identifying ProLogis' customers with multiple market
requirements. ProLogis believes that the market officers' access to national and
international ProLogis resources improves their ability to serve customers in
the local market.
Market officers do not develop projects or borrow or commit capital. Their
focus is strictly on managing the facilities in their markets, creating and
maintaining relationships with distribution space users and industrial brokers,
marketing ProLogis' products and identifying potential acquisition, development
and leasing opportunities in their target market cities.
Global Services Group
The Global Services Group, comprised of 16 employees, is dedicated to
providing service to the largest users of distribution space that ProLogis has
identified as targeted customers, with the primary focus on making ProLogis the
preferred provider of distribution space to these companies. The Global Services
Group is headquartered in Denver and Amsterdam and has regional offices in
Atlanta, Chicago, the Los Angeles metropolitan area and the New York City
metropolitan area. A key function of this group is identifying companies whose
reconfiguration and expansion plans will create future development or multiple
market opportunities to meet these customers' needs. Global Services Group
professionals build long-term relationships with ProLogis' customers and provide
a single point of contact to simplify and streamline the execution of such
customers' distribution space plans. An ancillary benefit of this extensive
contact with customers is the ability to be on the forefront of international
and national distribution and logistics trends.
Global Development Group
The Global Development Group, comprised of 72 employees, focuses
substantial research and development efforts on creating industry-leading
master-planned distribution parks and facilities. Members of the Global
Development Group have extensive experience in the development and construction
of these facilities.
The Global Development Group is comprised principally of architects,
engineers and construction professionals who oversee every aspect of the land
planning and building design processes. These professionals also monitor the
construction process and oversee the performance of third-party general
contractors. The Group's development specialists and project managers operate
regionally to better serve their markets. The project managers supervise each
project with oversight from ProLogis' management, pursuant to uniform standards,
procedures and specifications that have been carefully designed to achieve
consistent quality.
ProLogis believes the depth and breadth of experience within the Global
Development Group enhances the effectiveness of the Global Services Group and
provides the market officers with a distinct competitive advantage for
development opportunities in their respective markets.
Integrated Solutions Group
The Integrated Solutions Group, currently comprised of four employees,
coordinates a menu of value-added customer services including supply chain
optimization, strategic site selection, business location services and design
build/fee development. The Integrated Solutions Group was formed in August 1999
to further develop ProLogis' ability to service all areas of its customer's
distribution needs. ProLogis believes that the offering of these additional
services will allow ProLogis to deepen its customer relationships with
relatively small additional capital requirements.
FINANCING STRATEGY
ProLogis believes that a successful real estate operating company should
have the ability to access the equity and debt markets efficiently and
expeditiously to permit it to capitalize on business opportunities within each
of its operating segments. ProLogis funded its capital requirements in 1999 with
internally generated capital, asset sales, private equity, public debt and other
debt financing transactions. Historically, ProLogis has utilized and will
continue to utilize the borrowing capacity available through its unsecured lines
of credit to finance investment opportunities as they arise pending completion
of asset sales and longer-term debt or equity financing
13
16
arrangements. ProLogis' total debt as a percentage of total undepreciated book
capitalization was 43.0% as of December 31, 1999.
During 1999, the following financing activities were completed:
- ProLogis completed a series of secured debt financing transactions with
aggregate principal of $466.0 million at an average interest rate of
7.34% ($182.0 million of this debt was assumed by ProLogis California
when the company was formed -- see Note 5 to ProLogis' Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8).
- ProLogis completed a $500.0 million unsecured public debt offering in
April 1999, at an average interest rate of 6.90%.
- ProLogis' U.S. dollar denominated, short-term borrowing capacity was
increased from $375.0 million to $575.0 million. ProLogis' average
interest rate on the $45.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the U.S.
dollar denominated unsecured lines of credit as of December 31, 1999 was
7.46%.
- A multi-currency line of credit in the currency equivalent of 325.0
million euros (the currency equivalent of $327.3 million as of December
31, 1999 based on currency exchange rates quoted by Reuters) was put in
place. The outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 1999 of 53.3 million
euros (the currency equivalent of $53.7 million as of December 31, 1999
based on currency exchange rates quoted by Reuters) were at a weighted
average interest rate of 4.25%.
- Formation of the ProLogis European Properties Fund which will allow
ProLogis to access over 1.06 billion euros (the currency equivalent of
$1.07 billion as of December 31, 1999 based on currency exchange rates
quoted by Reuters) of third party equity capital committed by a group of
institutional investors. This capital is to be used to fund acquisitions
of industrial distribution facilities in Europe from ProLogis, ProLogis
Kingspark or third parties. Of the total commitment, 182.6 million euros
(the currency equivalent of $184.0 million as of December 31, 1999 based
on currency exchange rates quoted by Reuters) was funded through December
31, 1999.
- In 1999, ProLogis disposed of 20.6 million square feet of facilities: (i)
sales of non-strategic facilities aggregated 2.6 million square feet with
net proceeds of $99.5 million; (ii) facilities sold to ProLogis
California aggregated 11.5 million square feet with total proceeds of
$538.3 million (of which 50% represented third party investment and
portions of the proceeds were received in the form of an equity interest
in ProLogis California, the assumption of $199.3 million of ProLogis debt
by ProLogis California and the issuance of $62.0 million of debt by
ProLogis California); (iii) dispositions of facilities in the CDFS
business segment to third parties aggregated 3.2 million square feet and
net proceeds of $256.4 million; and (iv) sales of facilities from
ProLogis and ProLogis Kingspark to the ProLogis European Properties Fund
aggregated 3.3 million square feet with total proceeds of $256.5 million
(of which $38.4 million was received in the form of an equity interest in
the ProLogis European Properties Fund).
PROLOGIS MANAGEMENT
ProLogis' success depends upon management's ability to provide strategic
and day-to-day management, research, investment analysis, acquisition and due
diligence, development, marketing, asset management, capital markets, asset
disposition, management information systems support and legal and accounting
services. A significant portion of these services are provided internally by
ProLogis' management, while certain other administrative services are
supplemented by or provided by Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security
Capital"), ProLogis' largest shareholder, pursuant to an administrative services
agreement ("ASA"). The ASA supplements services performed by ProLogis personnel
including, but not limited to, payroll and human resources, cash management,
accounts payable, specified information systems support, research and insurance
services. These services are provided in exchange for a fee based on negotiated
rates for each service provided. Total fees incurred under the ASA were $3.4
million in 1999. The ASA expires on December 31, 2000.
14
17
ProLogis believes that the quality of its management should be assessed in
light of the following factors:
- Management Depth. ProLogis has several senior executives with the
leadership, operational, investment and financial skills and experience
to oversee the entire operation of the company.
- Strategic Vision. ProLogis' management has demonstrated a strategic
vision in determining an operating and investment focus that has provided
favorable initial yields and long-term growth prospects. ProLogis'
business strategy has focused on acquiring (at prices below replacement
cost) and developing an international distribution network and a land
inventory in selected distribution markets where demographic and supply
factors have permitted high relative occupancies at increasing rents.
Through the ProLogis Operating System(TM), ProLogis believes it is the
first international operating company that has been able to address and
service a corporate customer's distribution space requirements on an
international, national, regional and local basis.
- Research Capability. ProLogis divides its target market cities into
numerous submarkets for analysis purposes. ProLogis' management has
emphasized a submarket by submarket research-based approach in
determining appropriate investment opportunities.
- Investment Committee Process. An internal investment committee provides
ProLogis with discipline and guidance to allow ProLogis to achieve its
investment goals. The 12 members of ProLogis' investment committee have
extensive years of experience in the real estate industry. The internal
investment committee evaluates all prospective investments pursuant to
uniform underwriting criteria prior to submission of investment
recommendations to the investment committee of the Board of Trustees (the
"Board").
- Acquisitions Capability/Due Diligence Process/Asset
Optimization. ProLogis has experienced senior personnel who perform
disciplined and thorough due diligence in determining whether potential
investments and divestitures meet ProLogis' long-term objectives.
ProLogis employs 24 professionals performing these functions and has
developed extensive uniform systems and procedures for analysis and due
diligence to ensure that ProLogis maximizes its investment and
divestiture opportunities.
- Development Capability. By internally developing projects, ProLogis has
captured additional value that normally escapes through sales premiums
paid to third party developers. ProLogis has approximately 115 employees
performing development activities (including 43 of ProLogis Kingspark's
employees) with significant development experience. ProLogis has engaged
in substantial development of distribution facilities (50.8 million
square feet at a total investment of $1.9 billion developed since 1991).
- Operating Capability. ProLogis believes that management can substantially
improve operating performance and achieve long-term sustainable growth in
cash flow by actively and effectively managing assets. ProLogis conceived
of and developed the ProLogis Operating System(TM) to effectively operate
ProLogis' business and provide customers with an exceptional level of
coordinated, comprehensive services, including property management,
leasing and development management services. ProLogis also provides
comprehensive asset management services provided to entities in which
ProLogis has an ownership interest.
- Capital Markets Capability. ProLogis has been able to effectively raise
equity and debt capital that has allowed it to achieve strong growth in
cash flows through investment. ProLogis enhances its ability to raise
capital and acquire assets by its ability to effectively communicate
ProLogis' strategy and performance to investors, sellers of property and
the financial media. ProLogis' personnel prepare informational materials
for and conduct periodic meetings with the investment community and
analysts.
Executive Officers and Trustees of ProLogis

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances
at, on, under or in its property. The costs of removal or remediation of such
substances could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability without regard
to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or
presence of such hazardous substances. The presence of such substances may
adversely affect the owner's ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using
such real estate as collateral. ProLogis has not been notified by any
governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim in
connection with any of the properties owned or being acquired as of December 31,
1999, and ProLogis is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to
any of its properties that is likely to be material. ProLogis or the predecessor
owners have subjected each of its properties to an environmental assessment
(which does not involve invasive procedures such as soil sampling or ground
water analysis) by independent consultants. While some of these assessments have
led to further investigation and sampling, none of the environmental assessments
has revealed, nor is ProLogis aware of, any environmental liability (including
asbestos-related liability) that ProLogis believes would have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. No
assurance can be given, however, that these assessments and investigations
reveal all potential environmental liabilities, that no prior owner or operator
created any material environmental condition not known to ProLogis or the
independent consultants or that future uses or conditions (including, without
limitation, customer actions or changes in applicable environmental laws and
regulations) will not result in unreimbursed costs relating to environmental
liabilities.
INSURANCE COVERAGE
ProLogis and its consolidated and unconsolidated entities currently carry
comprehensive insurance coverage including, liability, fire, flood, earthquake,
environmental, extended coverage and rental loss as appropriate for the markets
where each entities' facilities and business operations are located. The
insurance coverage contains policy specifications and insured limits customarily
carried for similar facilities. ProLogis believes its facilities and the
facilities of its consolidated and unconsolidated entities are adequately
insured; however, an uninsured loss could result in loss of capital investment
and anticipated profits.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES
ProLogis and its consolidated entities (see -- "Consolidated
Entities -- Partnerships") have invested primarily in generic industrial
distribution facilities with an average office finish level of less than 10%.
Due to the costs associated with retrofitting customer spaces, service center
product has been acquired only on a very limited basis, generally as part of
portfolio acquisitions in which the majority of product being acquired was bulk
distribution. ProLogis' industrial real estate is typically used for storage,
packaging, assembly, distribution and light manufacturing of consumer and
industrial products.
- Distribution. ProLogis' distribution space is adaptable for both bulk
distribution and light manufacturing or assembly uses. Based upon square
footage, ProLogis' operating portfolio was comprised of 88.1% bulk
distribution and 10.5% light manufacturing facilities as of December 31,
1999.
- Service Center and Other. Under ProLogis' definition, service centers are
multi-customer buildings that have a higher percentage of office space
than distribution facilities and only have grade-level loading as opposed
to truck dock loading. As of December 31, 1999, service center product
constituted approximately 1.1% of the square feet in ProLogis' operating
portfolio and other miscellaneous facilities (primarily office
facilities), acquired as part of portfolio acquisitions, constitute 0.3%
of the square feet in ProLogis' operating portfolio.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
ProLogis and its consolidated entities (see -- "Consolidated
Entities -- Partnerships") have direct ownership of industrial distribution
facilities in North America and Europe. In North America (United States and
Mexico), ProLogis' facilities are located in 25 states and the District of
Columbia and 46 cities (including four cities in Mexico). In Europe, ProLogis'
facilities are located in four countries and seven cities. The table below
demonstrates the geographic distribution of ProLogis' portfolio (operating
facilities and facilities under development). The table excludes land held for
future development which represents less than 5% of ProLogis' total investment,
based on cost as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. The table does not include
facilities that are owned by ProLogis' unconsolidated entities which are
discussed under " -- Unconsolidated Entities".

CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
Partnership
To facilitate certain strategic acquisitions ProLogis formed four
partnerships and, in conjunction with the Meridian Merger, ProLogis acquired
interests in two partnerships (see Notes 3 and 7 to ProLogis' Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8). ProLogis holds a majority interest in and
controls all six of these partnerships (collectively, the "Partnerships").
Consequently, the Partnerships are consolidated with the accounts of ProLogis.
Generally, pursuant to the Partnership agreements, ProLogis or one of its wholly
owned entities, is the sole controlling general partner and has full
responsibility for the management and control of the Partnerships. The limited
partners have no authority to transact business for, or, except as described
below, participate in the management decisions of, the Partnerships. However,
any decision to amend certain provisions of the applicable partnership
agreement, to dissolve a Partnership prior to the term set forth in the
applicable partnership agreement
26
29
or to enter into certain extraordinary transactions would require the consent of
all limited partners. Pursuant to the partnership agreements, ProLogis, or its
wholly owned entity, as the case may be, may not voluntarily withdraw from the
applicable Partnership or transfer or assign its interests in the Partnership
without the consent of all of the limited partners thereto. The limited partners
may freely transfer their Partnership units to affiliates, provided that such
transfer does not cause a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax
purposes and does not cause ProLogis to cease to comply with requirements under
the Code for qualification as a REIT. Each of the Partnership agreements grants
to the limited partners the right to exchange their Partnership units for
ProLogis common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share,
("Common Shares"), subject to certain conditions. The six partnerships, which
are part of the property operations segment are as follows:
- ProLogis Limited Partnership-I, which owned approximately $209.6 million
of industrial distribution facilities totaling 3.9 million square feet
located primarily in the San Francisco Bay market as of December 31,
1999, was formed in December 1993. ProLogis had a 68.7% controlling
general partnership interest and there were 4,520,532 limited partnership
units outstanding as of December 31, 1999. These facilities cannot be
sold, prior to the occurrence of certain events, without the consent of
the limited partners thereto, other than in tax deferred exchanges.
- ProLogis Limited Partnership-II, which owned approximately $56.8 million
of industrial distribution facilities totaling 1.9 million square feet
located primarily in the Charlotte, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, El Paso,
St. Louis, Washington D.C./Baltimore and the San Francisco Bay markets as
of December 31, 1999, was formed in May 1994. ProLogis' initial 81.2%
controlling general partnership interest has subsequently been increased
to 97.8% (the ownership interest as of December 31, 1999) due to the
conversion of limited partnership units into Common Shares. There were
90,213 limited partnership units outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
- ProLogis Limited Partnership-III, which owned approximately $51.7 million
of industrial distribution facilities totaling 1.4 million square feet
located primarily in the San Antonio, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale/ Miami and
Tampa markets as of December 31, 1999, was formed in October 1994.
ProLogis had a 50.4% controlling general partnership interest at
formation, which has subsequently been increased to 88.2% (the ownership
interest as of December 31, 1999) as the result of additional
contributions by ProLogis and the conversion of limited partnership units
into Common Shares. There were 376,347 limited partnership units
outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
- ProLogis Limited Partnership-IV, which owned approximately $94.8 million
of industrial distribution facilities totaling 2.6 million square feet
located primarily in the Cincinnati, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Ft.
Lauderdale/Miami, Orlando and Tampa markets as of December 31, 1999, was
formed in October 1994 through a cash contribution from a wholly owned
subsidiary of ProLogis, ProLogis IV, Inc., and the contribution of
industrial distribution facilities from the limited partner. ProLogis'
initial 96.4% controlling general partnership interest has been increased
to 98.2% (the ownership interest as of December 31, 1999) as the result
of additional contributions by ProLogis. There were 68,612 limited
partnership units outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
- ProLogis Limited Partnership-IV and ProLogis IV, Inc. are legal entities
separate and distinct from ProLogis, its affiliates and each other, and
each has separate assets, liabilities, business functions and operations.
The sole assets of ProLogis IV, Inc. are its general partner advances to
and its interest in ProLogis Limited Partnership-IV. As of December 31,
1999, ProLogis Limited Partnership-IV had outstanding borrowings from
ProLogis IV, Inc. of $0.7 million and ProLogis IV, Inc. had outstanding
borrowings from ProLogis and its affiliates of $0.7 million.
- Meridian Realty Partners, L.P. owned a $10.3 million industrial
distribution facility totaling 255,000 square feet in the Los Angeles
market as of December 31, 1999. ProLogis had an 88.0% controlling general
partnership interest and there were 29,712 limited partnership units
outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
- MDN/JSC II Limited Partnership owned approximately $62.1 million of
industrial distribution facilities totaling 986,000 square feet located
in the Dallas and Las Vegas markets as of December 31, 1999.
27
30
ProLogis had a 67.4% controlling general partnership interest and there were
453,375 limited partnership units outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of
operations and cash flows of each of the Partnerships are included in ProLogis'
consolidated financial statements, and the interests of the limited partners are
reflected as minority interest.
ProLogis Development Services
ProLogis Development Services, which is part of the CDFS business segment,
develops corporate distribution facilities to meet customer requirements, which
are often sold to customers or third parties. ProLogis Development Services also
contracts on a fee basis to develop distribution facilities for customers or
third parties. ProLogis owns 100% of the preferred stock of ProLogis Development
Services and realizes substantially all economic benefits of its activities.
Because ProLogis advances mortgage loans to ProLogis Development Services to
fund its acquisition, development and construction activities, ProLogis
Development Services is consolidated with ProLogis. ProLogis Development
Services' real estate assets represented 7.5% of ProLogis' total assets (at
cost) as of December 31, 1999. ProLogis Development Services is not a qualified
REIT subsidiary of ProLogis under the Code. Accordingly, ProLogis Development
Services pays federal and state income taxes, as appropriate.
UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
In order to comply with the requirements of the Code to qualify as a REIT,
ProLogis has invested in the nonvoting preferred stock of certain entities that
have ownership interests in companies that produce income that is not REIT
"qualifying" income (i.e., rental income and mortgage interest income) under the
Code. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, ProLogis can collectively invest
in these entities in amounts up to 25% of the fair market value of ProLogis'
total assets, with a maximum per company investment of 5% of the fair market
value of ProLogis' total assets. These investments are accounted for under the
equity method and are discussed in Note 5 to ProLogis' Consolidated Financial

On March 14, 2000, ProLogis had approximately 162,252,057 Common Shares
outstanding, which were held of record by approximately 11,205 shareholders.
In order to qualify as a REIT under the Code, ProLogis is required to make
distributions (other than capital gain distributions) to its shareholders in
amounts at least equal to (i) the sum of (a) 95% of its "REIT taxable income"
computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and its net capital
gain) (changed to 90% as a result of the RMA -- see "Item 7, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- New
Tax Legislation") and (b) 95% of the net income (after tax), if any, from
foreclosure property, minus (ii) the sum of certain items of noncash income.
ProLogis' distribution strategy is to distribute what it believes is a
conservative percentage of its cash flow, permitting ProLogis to retain funds
for capital improvements and other investments.
ProLogis announces the following year's projected annual distribution level
after the annual budget review and approval by the Board in December of each
year. At its December 1999 meeting, the Board announced a projected increase in
the annual distribution level for 2000 from $1.30 to $1.34 per Common Share. The
payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board and is
dependent upon the financial condition and operating results of ProLogis and may
be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year.
For federal income tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary
income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital or a combination thereof.
Distributions that exceed ProLogis' current and accumulated earnings and profits
(calculated for tax purposes) constitute a return of capital rather than a
distribution and reduce the shareholder's basis in the Common Shares. To the
extent that a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and
profits and the shareholders basis in the Common Shares, it will generally be
treated as gain from the sale or exchange of that shareholder's Common Shares.
ProLogis annually notifies shareholders of the
30
33
taxability of distributions paid during the preceding year. The following
summarizes the taxability of distributions paid in 1998 and 1997 on Common
Shares and the estimated taxability for 1999:

===== ===== =====
On May 3, 1999, ProLogis paid a common distribution to holders of Meridian
common stock as of March 19, 1999. This distribution, which was declared by the
Meridian Board of Directors prior to the closing of the Meridian Merger, related
to the first quarter of 1999 and aggregated $11.1 million. This liability was
assumed by ProLogis in connection with the Meridian Merger. See Note 3 to
ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
In connection with the 1997 Merger discussed in Note 10 to ProLogis'
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Security Capital issued warrants to
acquire 3,608,202 shares of Class B common stock of Security Capital pro rata to
holders of Common Shares (other than Security Capital), Series B preferred
shares and limited partnership units. Holders of Common Shares and holders of
limited partnership units received 0.046549 warrants for each Common Share or
unit held and holders of Series B preferred shares received 0.059676 warrants
for each preferred share held. Each warrant was exercisable for one share of
Security Capital Class B common stock at an exercise price of $28.00 per share.
The warrants expired in September 1998. Security Capital issued the warrants as
an incentive to ProLogis' shareholders to vote in favor of the 1997 Merger and
to raise additional equity capital at a relatively low cost, in addition to
other benefits.
In 1999, 1998 and 1997, ProLogis issued an aggregate of 14,000, 20,000 and
105,000 Common Shares, respectively, upon exchange of limited partnership units
in one or more of the Partnerships. The Common Shares were issued in
transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
The annual dividends per preferred share are as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
-----------------------------
1999(1) 1998(2) 1997(2)
------- ------- -------
Series A................................................... $2.35 $2.35 $2.35
Series B................................................... 1.75 1.75 1.75
Series C................................................... 4.27 4.27 4.27
Series D................................................... 1.98 1.42(3) --
Series E................................................... 1.64(4) -- --
- ---------------
(1) For federal income tax purposes $1.65 of the Series A dividend, $1.23 of the
Series B dividend, $3.00 of the Series C dividend, $1.39 of the Series D
dividend and $1.15 of the Series E dividend are treated as ordinary income.
The remaining portion of each dividend represents capital gains.
(2) For federal income tax purposes these dividends are treated as ordinary
income to the holders.
(3) For the period from date of issuance to December 31, 1998.
(4) For the period from date of issuance to December 31, 1999.
On April 30, 1999, ProLogis paid an aggregate dividend of $1.1 million on
the Series E preferred shares ($0.5469 per share), of which $729,200 related to
Meridian's series D preferred stock that was accrued by Meridian prior to the
closing of the Meridian Merger. See Note 3 to ProLogis' Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 8.
Pursuant to the terms of its preferred shares, ProLogis is restricted from
declaring or paying any distribution with respect to the Common Shares unless
all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred shares have been
31
34
paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been
declared for the then-current dividend period with respect to the preferred
shares.
Under federal income tax rules, ProLogis' earnings and profits are first
allocated to its preferred shares, which increases the portion of the Common
Shares distribution classified as return of capital. The portion of
distributions characterized as return of capital results primarily from the
excess of distributions over earnings and profits primarily because non-cash
charges such as depreciation are not considered in determining distribution
levels. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Results of Operations."
ProLogis' tax return for the year ended December 31, 1999 has not been
filed. The taxability information for 1999 is based upon the best available
data. ProLogis' tax returns for prior years have not been examined by the
Internal Revenue Service. Consequently, the taxability of distributions and
dividends is subject to change.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
In March 1995, ProLogis adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase
Plan (the "1995 Plan"), which commenced in April 1995. The 1995 Plan allowed
holders of Common Shares the opportunity to acquire additional Common Shares by
automatically reinvesting distributions. Holders of Common Shares who do not
participate in the 1995 Plan continue to receive distributions as declared. The
1995 Plan also allowed participating holders of Common Shares to purchase a
limited number of additional Common Shares by making optional cash payments,
without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. Common Shares are
acquired pursuant to the 1995 Plan at a price equal to 98% of the market price
of such Common Shares, without payment of any brokerage commission or service
charge.
The 1995 Plan was amended in June 1999 by the 1999 Dividend Reinvestment
and Share Purchase plan (the "1999 Plan"). The primary change effective with the
1999 Plan allows persons who are not holders of Common Shares to participate in
the share purchase plan.

(1) Earnings from operations for 1999 and 1998 reflect $0.9 million and $26.1
million of mark to market adjustments, respectively, associated with two
interest rate hedges that, due to changing market conditions, no longer
qualified for hedge accounting treatment under generally accepted accounting
principles
34
37
("GAAP"). See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources -- Derivative Financial Instruments".
(2) Earnings from operations for 1997 reflect the one-time, non-cash charge of
$75.4 million associated with the costs incurred in acquiring ProLogis'
management companies from Security Capital in September 1997. This one-time
charge was not deducted for purposes of calculating funds from operations
due to its non-recurring and non-cash nature. See "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Results of Operations -- Other Income and Expense
Items -- Costs Incurred in Acquiring Management Companies From Affiliate".
(3) For 1999, includes $11.1 million paid to Meridian Shareholders. See "Item 5.
Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters".
(4) Funds from operations attributable to Common Shares is discussed and defined
in "Item 7 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions
and Results of Operations -- Funds from Operations". Funds from operations
does not represent net income or cash from operating activities in
accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to
fund cash needs, which is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows in ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Cash
distributions paid to shareholders are presented above in the "Operating
Data" section. Funds from operations should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of ProLogis' operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. ProLogis considers funds from
operations to be a useful supplemental measure of comparative period
operating performance and as a supplemental measure to assist management,
financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders with an indication
of the ability of ProLogis to fund its capital expenditures and investment
activities and to fund other cash needs.
(5) Does not include dividends paid to Meridian shareholders. See "Item 5.
Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters".
(6) In calculating the weighted average Common Shares for funds from operations
purposes, the weighted average Series B convertible preferred shares and
limited partnership units are considered common stock equivalents. The
weighted average Series B convertible preferred shares included are
9,221,000, 10,055,000 and 10,319,000 for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The amount of dividends associated with these preferred shares are
$12,523,000, $13,668,000 and $14,088,000 for 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. There were no outstanding Series B convertible preferred
shares prior to 1996 and the effect of these preferred shares in 1996 was
anti-dilutive. The weighted average limited partnership units included are
5,461,000, 5,070,000, 5,190,000, 5,194,000 and 5,485,000 for 1999, 1998,
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The minority interest share of earnings
associated with these units are $4,979,000, $4,681,000, $3,560,000,
$3,326,000 and $3,331,000 for 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
(7) As of March 14, 2000, ProLogis had $38.0 million of borrowings outstanding
under its unsecured U.S. dollar denominated lines of credit resulting in
$537.0 million of borrowing capacity available. As of March 14, 2000,
ProLogis had the currency equivalent of $130.3 million (based on currency
exchange rates quoted by Reuters) on its multi-currency unsecured line of
credit outstanding resulting in the currency equivalent of $184.5 million
(based on currency exchange rates quoted by Reuters) of borrowing capacity
available.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with ProLogis'
Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in Item 8 of
this report.
The statements contained in this discussion that are not historical facts
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current

uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted
in such forward-looking statements. Factors which may affect outcomes and
results include: (i) changes in general economic conditions in ProLogis' markets
that could adversely affect demand for ProLogis' facilities and the
creditworthiness of ProLogis' customers, (ii) changes in financial markets,
interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect
ProLogis' cost of capital and its ability to meet its financial needs and
obligations, (iii) increased or unanticipated competition for distribution
facilities in ProLogis' target markets and (iv) those factors discussed under
"-- Risk Factors".
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net earnings attributable to Common Shares increased by $61.8 million to
$124.0 million for 1999 from $62.2 million for 1998. Net earnings attributable
to Common Shares in 1998 was $57.8 million above the 1997 amount of $4.4
million.
The increase in net earnings attributable to Common Shares in 1999 over
1998 was primarily the result of:
- an increase of $88.5 million in net operating income from property
operations (after deductions for depreciation), primarily the result of
the increased number of distribution facilities in operation in 1999 as
compared to 1998 (the Meridian Merger in March 1999 added 32.2 million
square feet of facilities to ProLogis' operating portfolio. See
"-- Meridian Merger");
- an increase of $29.1 million in other real estate income, primarily
profits earned in the CDFS business from dispositions of facilities
developed;
- an increase of $19.8 million in income from ProLogis' investments in
unconsolidated entities due to: i) recognition of a full year of income
from ProLogis' August 1998 acquisition of ProLogis Kingspark; ii) the
recognition of income from the operations of Garonor S. A. ("ProLogis
Garonor"), a real estate operating company in France that was acquired in
December 1998 and accounted for under the equity method from that date
until June 29, 1999 when ProLogis began consolidating its results in its
consolidated financial statements (see Note 2 to ProLogis' Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8); and iii) increased earnings from
ProLogis' temperature-controlled distribution operations which are
recognized under the equity method, primarily due to increases in the
cubic feet in operation in 1999 as compared to 1998;
- a $33.4 million increase in gains recognized on the disposition of
facilities from ProLogis' property operations segment; and
- the recognition of a $26.1 million expense in 1998 as compared to $0.9
million recognized in 1999 from mark to market adjustments related to two
interest rate protection agreements (see "Liquidity and Capital
Resources -- Derivative Financial Instruments").
These increases in net earnings in 1999 were partially offset by:
- an increase of $93.1 million in interest expense due to higher average
debt balances in 1999;
- net foreign currency exchange losses in 1999 of $16.8 million ($11.4
million resulting from remeasurement of intercompany and other debt) as
compared to net foreign currency exchange gains of $2.9 million in 1998;
and
- an increase of $15.4 million in general and administrative expenses, due
to the continued expansion of the organizational infrastructure in Europe
and due to a change in accounting rules which no longer allows costs
associated with start-up activities and organization costs to be
capitalized (see "-- Other Income and Expense Items -- General and
Administrative" and "-- Other Income and Expense Items -- Cumulative
Effect of Accounting Change").
Net earnings attributable to Common Shares in 1998 and 1997 were impacted
by one time charges: a $26.1 million charge in 1998 from mark to market
adjustments related to two interest rate protection agreements (see
"-- Liquidity and Capital Resources -- Derivative Financial Instruments") and a
$75.4 million charge in
36
39
1997 related to the acquisition of the management companies from Security
Capital (see "-- Other Income and Expense Items -- Costs Incurred in Acquiring
Management Companies From Affiliate"). Without the effects of these one-time
charges, net earnings attributable to Common Shares in each year would have been
$88.3 million in 1998 and $79.8 million in 1997. The resulting increase of $8.5
million in 1998 over 1997 is primarily due to the higher number of distribution
facilities in operation in 1998 as compared to 1997. ProLogis' rental revenues,
rental expenses (including property management fees paid to affiliate in 1997)
and depreciation expense all increased in 1998. This increase was partially
offset by an increase in interest expense associated with the financing of
ProLogis' investment activities in 1998.
Preferred share dividends and weighted average Common Shares outstanding
both increased in 1999 as compared to 1998 and in 1998 as compared to 1997. For
1999, these increases were primarily attributable to the issuance of Common
Shares and Series E preferred shares related to the Meridian Merger (see
"-- Meridian Merger"). For 1998, these increases were the result of additional
equity issued by ProLogis to finance its acquisition and development activities
in that year.
Property Operations
ProLogis owned (directly or through consolidated subsidiaries) 1,328
operating facilities totaling 133.7 million square feet as of December 31, 1999,
1,099 operating facilities totaling 104.5 million square feet as of December 31,
1998 and 1,005 operating facilities totaling 90.8 million square feet as of
December 31, 1997. In addition, as of December 31, 1999 ProLogis California (in
which ProLogis has a 50% ownership interest) owned 78 operating facilities
totaling 11.5 million square feet and the ProLogis European Properties Fund (in
which ProLogis' ownership interest was approximately 19.68% as of December 31,
1999) owned 18 operating facilities totaling 3.3 million square feet.
As of December 31, 1998 ProLogis owned 100% of the preferred stock
(representing substantially all of the economic benefits) of ProLogis Garonor
(which owned 54 operating facilities totaling 5.2 million square feet as of
December 31, 1998). This investment was accounted for under the equity method
from December 29, 1998 (the date of acquisition) until June 29, 1999. On June
29, 1999, ProLogis Garonor became a wholly owned subsidiary of ProLogis and its
results of operations after that date have been consolidated along with
ProLogis' other wholly owned subsidiaries.
37
40
Under the equity method, ProLogis recognized its share of the net earnings
of the following entities that are part of ProLogis' property operations
segment: (i) ProLogis Garonor from December 29, 1998 to June 29, 1999; (ii)
ProLogis California beginning August 26, 1999; and (iii) the ProLogis European
Properties Fund beginning September 23, 1999. The amounts recognized under the
equity method are based on the net earnings of the unconsolidated entity and
include interest income and interest expense, depreciation and amortization
expenses, general and administrative expenses, income taxes and foreign currency
exchange gains and losses (with respect to ProLogis Garonor and the ProLogis
European Properties Fund). ProLogis' net operating income from the property
operations segment was as follows for 1999, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands) (see
Note 18 to ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8):

======== ======== ========
Rental income increased by $146.8 million in 1999 as compared to 1998. This
increase is comprised of the following components:
- facilities acquired during 1999 contributed $80.7 million of additional
rental income (primarily due to the Meridian Merger; see "-- Meridian
Merger") in 1999;
- facilities developed during 1999 contributed $17.7 million of additional
rental income in 1999;
- facilities acquired during 1998 contributed $25.0 million of additional
rental income in 1999;
- facilities developed during 1998 contributed $20.1 million of additional
rental income 1999;
- facilities owned and operated as of January 1, 1998 contributed $12.4
million of additional rental income in 1999; and
- facilities that were in operation during 1998 but have subsequently been
disposed of reduced rental income in 1999 by $9.1 million.
Rental income increased by $60.5 million in 1998 as compared to 1997. This
increase is comprised of the following components:
- facilities acquired during 1998 contributed $8.2 million of additional
rental income in 1998;
- facilities developed during 1998 contributed $13.9 million of additional
rental income in 1998;
- facilities acquired during 1997 contributed $17.4 million of additional
rental income in 1998;
- facilities developed during 1997 contributed $18.8 million of additional
rental income in 1998;
- facilities owned and operated as of January 1, 1997 contributed $11.2
million of additional rental income in 1998; and
- facilities that were in operation during 1997 but have subsequently been
disposed of reduced rental income in 1998 by $9.0 million.
38
41
Rental expenses, including property management fees paid to an affiliate in
1997 and net of recoveries from tenants, increased by $6.4 million in 1999 over
1998 and by $112,000 in 1998 over 1997. The increase in 1999 over 1998 is
primarily attributable to the additional facilities acquired in the Meridian
Merger (see "-- Meridian Merger"). Rental expenses, before recoveries from
tenants and including property management fees paid to an affiliate in 1997,
were 24.7% of rental income for 1999, 24.5% of rental income for 1998 and 25.7%
of rental income for 1997. Total rental expense recoveries were 72.4%, 67.9% and
63.1% of total rental expenses (including property management fee paid to
affiliate in 1997) in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
ProLogis' share of ProLogis Garonor's loss in 1999 includes the recognition
of a net foreign currency exchange loss of $13.0 million resulting from the
remeasurement of intercompany and other debt.
As a result of the 1997 Merger discussed below under "-- Other Income and
Expense Items -- Costs Incurred in Acquiring Management Companies From
Affiliate" and in Note 10 to ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item
8, ProLogis no longer pays a property management fee to its affiliate, Security
Capital. However, ProLogis has recognized the actual personnel and other
operating costs associated with the property management function in rental
expenses since September 9, 1997.
The facilities that ProLogis develops are not always fully leased at the
start of construction. In addition, ProLogis may acquire facilities that are
underleased at the time of acquisition. While these situations will reduce
ProLogis' overall occupancy rate below its stabilized level in the short-term,
they do provide opportunities to increase revenues. The term "stabilized" means
that capital improvements, repositioning, new management and new marketing
programs (or development and marketing, in the case of newly developed
facilities) have been in effect for a sufficient period of time (but in no case
longer than 12 months for facilities acquired by ProLogis and 12 months after
shell completion for facilities developed by ProLogis) to achieve stabilized
occupancy (typically 93%, but ranging from 90% to 95%, depending on the
submarket and product type). ProLogis has been successful in increasing
occupancies on acquired and developed facilities during their initial months of
operation, resulting in an occupancy rate of 96.0% and a leased rate of 96.5%
for stabilized facilities owned by ProLogis and its consolidated and
unconsolidated entities as of December 31, 1999. The average increase in rental
rates for new and renewed leases on previously leased space (21.1 million square
feet) for all facilities including those owned by consolidated and
unconsolidated entities during 1999 was 15.5%.
Corporate Distribution Facilities Services Business
ProLogis recognized income from its CDFS business segment of $70.5 million
in 1999, $20.5 million in 1998 and $12.3 million in 1997 (see Note 18 to
ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8). Of the total CDFS
business segment income recognized, $23.9 million and $2.9 million represents
ProLogis' 95% share of the net earnings of ProLogis Kingspark for 1999 and 1998,
respectively, recognized under the equity method. ProLogis Kingspark was
acquired on August 14, 1998. The remaining income of $46.6 million in 1999 and
$17.6 million in 1998 and the entire amount of $12.3 million in 1997 was earned
directly by ProLogis and ProLogis Development Services. This income consists
primarily of the profits from the disposition of properties that were developed
in the CDFS business segment and sold to customers or entities in which ProLogis
has an ownership interest.
In 1999, ProLogis and ProLogis Development Services disposed of an
aggregate of 5.4 million square feet of properties in the CDFS business segment
with aggregate net sales proceeds of $357.5 million. In 1998 and 1997, ProLogis
disposed of 2.0 million and 1.9 million square feet of properties, respectively,
with aggregate net sales proceeds of $82.6 million and $82.4 million,
respectively. The CDFS business segment operations have increased in volume in
each year, consequently, ProLogis' income from this segment has increased in
each year.
ProLogis recognizes 95% of the net earnings of ProLogis Kingspark in its
results of operations. The net earnings of the ProLogis Kingspark include
interest income and interest expense (net of capitalized amounts), general and
administrative expenses, income taxes and foreign currency exchange gains and
losses. ProLogis Kingspark's dispositions generated aggregate net sales proceeds
of $155.4 million on the disposition of 1.1 million square feet in 1999 and
$13.8 million on the disposition of land parcels for the period from August 14,
1998 to December 31, 1998. ProLogis Kingspark also earned fees for developing
properties under development management agreements ($5.4 million in 1999 and
$2.6 million for the period from August 14,
39
42
1998 to December 31, 1998). With the capital invested by ProLogis, ProLogis
Kingspark has been able to increase its level of operations subsequent to August
14, 1998. ProLogis' share of the net earnings of ProLogis Kingspark includes
$7.7 million of current and deferred income tax expense and $1.5 million of net
foreign currency exchange losses for 1999. ProLogis' share of ProLogis
Kingspark's net earnings for the period August 14, 1998 to December 31, 1998
includes $0.2 million of current and deferred income tax expense and $1.0
million of net foreign currency exchange losses.
Temperature-Controlled Distribution Operations
ProLogis recognizes income from the temperature-controlled distribution
operations segment of its business under the equity method. ProLogis' share of
the net earnings of CSI and Frigoscandia was as follows (in thousands) (see Note
18 to ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8):
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
----------------------------
1999 1998 1997
------- ------- ------
CSI..................................................... $10,791 $ 7,349 $3,278
Frigoscandia............................................ (4,364) (7,535) --
------- ------- ------
Total temperature-controlled distribution
operations segment.......................... $ 6,427 $ (186) $3,278
======= ======= ======
The net earnings of the unconsolidated entities includes interest income
and interest expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, general and
administrative expenses, income taxes and foreign currency exchange gains or
losses (with respect to Frigoscandia). ProLogis recognizes 95% of the net
earnings of each entity in its results of operations.
The increase in ProLogis' share of CSI's net earnings from 1998 to 1999 of
$3.4 million is attributable primarily to the increase in cubic feet capacity in
operation in 1999 over 1998 and to income from retail dedicated services (see
"Item 1. Business -- Business Strategy and Operating
Segments -- Temperature-Controlled Distribution Operations -- Operations"). The
increase in ProLogis' share of CSI's net earnings from 1997 to 1998 of $4.0
million is attributable primarily to the increase in cubic feet capacity in
operation in 1998 over 1997. ProLogis acquired CSI on April 24, 1997 and owned
between 60% and 77.1% until June 12, 1998, at which time ProLogis became CSI's
sole owner.
ProLogis' share of Frigoscandia's net earnings in 1999 and 1998 includes
net foreign currency exchange losses of $1.3 million and $11.4 million,
respectively. In 1999, Frigoscandia's cubic feet capacity remained constant. The
decrease in Frigoscandia's net earnings is attributable primarily to decreased
occupancy levels and lower operating margins in the transportation services
segment.
Other Income and Expense Items
Interest Income
Interest income was $6.4 million in 1999, an increase of $3.6 million over
the interest income recognized in 1998 of $2.8 million. Interest income
increased by $0.4 million in 1998 over 1997. The increases in interest income
are primarily the result of higher average cash balances.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense, including REIT management fee paid to
affiliate in 1997, was $38.3 million in 1999, $22.9 million in 1998 and $24.6
million in 1997. The increase in general and administrative expense in 1999 over
1998 is primarily related to ProLogis' expanded operational infrastructure in
Europe and also because ProLogis expensed costs related to start-up activities
and organization costs under a new accounting pronouncement in 1999 (see
"-- Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change"). The decrease in general and
administrative expense in 1998 from 1997 is primarily attributable to the cost
savings realized after ProLogis acquired the management companies from Security
Capital in September 1997 (see "-- Costs Incurred in Acquiring Management
Companies from Affiliate").
40
43
Depreciation and Amortization
The increases in depreciation and amortization expense of $51.9 million in
1999 as compared to 1998 and $24.0 million in 1998 as compared to 1997 result
primarily from the increases in operating facilities each year. See "-- Property
Operations".
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $170.7 million in 1999, $77.7 million in 1998 and
$52.7 million in 1997. The increases in each year are primarily the result of
the increase use of debt to finance investment activities in each year,
particularly in 1999 when ProLogis increased its secured debt balances to $695.6
million as of December 31, 1999 (of which $90.1 million was assumed in the
Meridian Merger; see "-- Meridian Merger") from $227.8 million as of December
31, 1998. In addition, ProLogis issued senior unsecured notes in the amounts of
$500.0 million in April 1999, $125.0 million in October 1998, $250.0 million in
July 1998, $100.0 million in February 1997 and $100.0 million in July 1997. In
conjunction with the Meridian Merger, ProLogis assumed $160.0 million of senior
unsecured notes.
Interest expense on lines of credit borrowings increased by $1.4 million in
1999 over 1998 and by $11.3 million in 1998 over 1997 due primarily to a higher
average outstanding balance in each year ($232.8 million in 1999, $174.9 million
in 1998 and $56.9 million in 1997) partially offset by a lower weighted average
daily interest rate (6.13% in 1999, 6.46% in 1998 and 6.75% in 1997). ProLogis
also had $150.0 million of short-term borrowings from September 11, 1998 to
April 26, 1999. See "-- Liquidity and Capital Resources -- Investing and
Financing Activities".
Interest expense recognized on borrowings is offset by interest capitalized
with respect to ProLogis' development activities. Capitalized interest decreased
by $3.2 million to $16.0 million in 1999 from $19.2 million in 1998 and
increased by $0.8 million to $19.2 million in 1998 from $18.4 million in 1997.
Capitalized interest levels are reflective of ProLogis' cost of funds and the
level of development activity in each year.
Interest Rate Hedge Expense
See "-- Liquidity and Capital Resources -- Derivative Financial
Instruments" for a discussion of this expense.
Costs Incurred in Acquiring Management Companies From Affiliate
As a result of the 1997 Merger discussed in Note 10 to ProLogis'
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, ProLogis terminated the REIT
management and property management agreements that were in place while Security
Capital owned the management companies. The employees of the REIT management and
property management companies became employees of ProLogis and ProLogis directly
incurs the personnel and other costs related to these functions. The costs
relating to property management are recorded as rental expenses whereas the
costs associated with managing the corporate entity are recorded as general and
administrative expenses. In connection with this transaction, ProLogis
recognized a one-time expense of $75.4 million, representing the excess of the
purchase price over the net tangible assets acquired.
Upon consummation of the 1997 Merger, ProLogis and Security Capital entered
into the ASA, pursuant to which Security Capital provides ProLogis with certain
administrative and other services as determined by ProLogis (certain services
originally provided under the ASA are now being performed by ProLogis
employees). ProLogis; fees under the ASA were $3.4 million, $3.7 million and
$1.1 million for 1999, 1998 and the period from September 9, 1997 to December
31, 1997, respectively. Of these fees, $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.2
million were capitalized for 1999, 1998 and for the period from September 9,
1997 to December 31, 1997, respectively. The ASA expires on December 31, 2000.
41
44
Other Expenses
Other expenses were $4.9 million in 1999, $6.2 million in 1998 and $3.9
million in 1997. Included as "Other Expenses" are land holding costs, the
write-off of previously capitalized pursuit costs and costs associated with the
name change to ProLogis in 1998.
Land holding costs were $2.0 million in 1999, $2.2 million in 1998 and $2.3
million in 1997. Pursuit cost write-offs were $2.9 million in 1999 $2.3 million
in 1998 and $1.6 million in 1997. Non-recurring costs associated with the name
change were $1.7 million in 1998.
Gain on Disposition of Real Estate
In 1999, ProLogis disposed of 2.6 million square feet of operating
facilities to third parties from its property operations segment generating net
sales proceeds of $99.5 million and aggregate gains of $13.4 million. In August
1999, in connection with the formation of ProLogis California, ProLogis disposed
of 78 operating facilities and two facilities under development to ProLogis
California. The net sales proceeds from this disposition were $538.3 million and
ProLogis recognized a gain of $25.6 million on the transaction, which is net of
$25.6 million that did not qualify for income recognition due to ProLogis'
continuing ownership in ProLogis California. ProLogis received an equity
interest in ProLogis California of $148.2 million and ProLogis California
assumed ProLogis' debt of $199.3 million. The remaining proceeds were received
in cash.
ProLogis recognized gains of $5.6 million and $7.4 million from the
dispositions of operating facilities from the property operations segment in
1998 and 1997, respectively. These dispositions aggregated 1.1 million square
feet and net sales proceeds of $26.7 million in 1998 and 1.3 million square feet
and net sales proceeds of $53.0 million in 1997.
Foreign Currency Hedge Income (Expense)
On December 22, 1997, ProLogis entered into two separate contracts to (i)
exchange $373.8 million for 2.9 billion Swedish krona, and (ii) exchange 310.0
million German marks for $175.0 million in anticipation of the January 1998
acquisition and planned European currency denominated financing of Frigoscandia
AB by ProLogis through its unconsolidated entity. The contracts were marked to
market as of December 31, 1997 and ProLogis recognized a net loss of $6.0
million in 1997. Both contracts were settled during the first quarter of 1998 at
a net loss of $4.0 million. Accordingly, ProLogis recognized a net gain of $2.0
million in 1998. These foreign currency exchange hedges were one-time,
non-recurring contracts that fixed the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and
the Swedish krona and German mark. ProLogis executed these hedges after the
execution of the purchase agreement to acquire Frigoscandia AB, which required
payment in Swedish krona. The contracts were executed exclusively for the
acquisition and financing of Frigoscandia AB and were not entered into to hedge
on-going income in foreign currencies.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses)
The foreign currency exchange loss in 1999 consists of a net loss from
remeasurement of intercompany and other debt of $11.4 million, net transaction
losses of $5.3 million (including $45,000 of costs related to foreign currency
put options contracts) and mark to market adjustments on the foreign currency
put option contracts of $47,000. ProLogis recognized a net gain from
remeasurement of intercompany and other debt of $3.2 million and net transaction
losses of $0.3 million in 1998. In 1997, ProLogis recognized a net remeasurement
loss of $0.3 million. No foreign currency exchange transaction gain or loss was
recognized in 1997 due to ProLogis' limited foreign operations in that year.
ProLogis began utilizing foreign currency put options to hedge its foreign
currency exchange risk only in September 1999. See "-- Liquidity and Capital
Resources -- Derivative Financial Instruments".
Income Taxes
ProLogis is taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and is not
required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution and income, asset
and shareholder tests are met. ProLogis Development Services is not a
42
45
qualified REIT subsidiary for tax purposes. Accordingly, ProLogis incurs and
pays current federal and state income taxes with respect to the taxable earnings
of ProLogis Development Services. Also, the foreign countries in which ProLogis
operates do not recognize REITs under their respective tax laws. Accordingly,
ProLogis recognizes income taxes as appropriate and in accordance with GAAP with
respect to the taxable earnings of ProLogis Development Services and its foreign
subsidiaries.
In 1998, ProLogis recognized deferred income tax expense of $1.8 million.
In 1999 and 1997, the deferred income tax expense based on each year's temporary
differences has been reduced to zero due to changes in the deferred tax
valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was recognized in previous years to
reflect the estimated realizability of deferred tax assets created by ProLogis'
tax net operating loss carryforwards.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
Through 1998, ProLogis capitalized costs associated with start-up
activities and organization costs and amortized such costs over an appropriate
period, generally five years. Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5 "Reporting on
the Costs of Start-Up Activities", which requires that costs associated with
organizational, pre-opening, and start-up activities be expensed as incurred,
was adopted by ProLogis on January 1, 1999. Accordingly, ProLogis expensed $1.4
million of unamortized organization and start-up costs as a cumulative effect of
accounting change in the first quarter of 1999. All such costs incurred in 1999

On March 30, 1999, Meridian, a publicly traded REIT that owned industrial
distribution facilities in the United States, was merged with and into ProLogis.
In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
November 16, 1998, as amended, the approximately 33.8 million outstanding shares
of Meridian common stock were exchanged (on a 1.1 for one basis) into
approximately 37.2 million ProLogis Common Shares. In addition, the holders of
Meridian common stock received $2.00 in cash per outstanding share,
approximately $67.6 million in total. The holders of Meridian's Series D
cumulative redeemable preferred stock received a new series of ProLogis
cumulative redeemable preferred shares, Series E preferred shares, on a one for
one basis. The Series E preferred shares have a 8.75% annual dividend rate
($2.1875 per share) and an aggregate liquidation value of $50.0 million. The
total purchase price of Meridian was approximately $1.54 billion, which included
the assumption of the outstanding debt and liabilities of Meridian as of March
30, 1999 and the issuance of approximately 1.1 million stock options each to
acquire 1.10 ProLogis Common Shares and $2.00 in cash. The assets acquired from
Meridian included approximately $1.44 billion of real estate assets, an interest
in a refrigerated distribution business of $28.7 million and cash and other
assets aggregating $72.3 million. The transaction was structured as a tax-free
merger and was accounted for under the purchase method.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
ProLogis did not experience any environmental condition on its facilities
which materially adversely affected its results of operations or financial
position nor is ProLogis aware of any environmental liability that ProLogis
believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
condition or results of operations. See "-- Risk Factors -- Potential
Environmental Liability".
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
ProLogis considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from
operations and financing activities to be adequate and expects it to continue to
be adequate to meet its anticipated development, acquisition, operating and debt
service needs as well as its shareholder distribution requirements.
ProLogis' future investing activities within the property operations
segment and the CDFS business segment are expected to consist primarily of
acquiring land for future development and developing distribution facilities.
43
46
Within the temperature-controlled distribution operations segment, ProLogis'
future investing activities are expected to include the expansion of its current
capacity through the acquisition of existing businesses operating in this
industry. ProLogis' future investing activities are expected to be funded with:
- cash generated by operations;
- the proceeds from the sale of non-strategic facilities to third parties;
- the proceeds from the sale of facilities developed to third parties or to
entities in which ProLogis has an ownership interest;
- the proceeds from the sale of facilities to the ProLogis European
Properties Fund;
- other capital generated from the CDFS business segment; and
- utilization of ProLogis' unsecured lines of credit.
In the short-term, borrowings and subsequent repayments on the unsecured
lines of credit will provide ProLogis with adequate liquidity and financial
flexibility to efficiently respond to market opportunities. Within the ProLogis
European Properties Fund, ProLogis has access to 877.7 million euros (the
currency equivalent of $884.0 million as of December 31, 1999 based on currency
exchange rates quoted by Reuters) of third party equity capital in Europe that
has been committed primarily by institutional investors for the period 2000 to
2002. This capital is available to fund acquisitions of ProLogis' completed
stabilized European developments by the ProLogis European Properties Fund, as
well as acquisitions of other facilities from third parties. ProLogis will
continue to evaluate other financing arrangements similar to the ProLogis
European Properties Fund that will provide debt and equity financing to
ProLogis.
As of December 31, 1999, ProLogis had $530.0 million available for
borrowing under its U.S. dollar denominated unsecured lines of credit and the
currency equivalent of $273.6 million (based on currency exchange rates quoted
by Reuters) available for borrowing under its multi-currency unsecured line of
credit. As of March 14, 2000, on a combined basis ProLogis had approximately
$721.5 million of borrowing capacity available (see "-- Credit Facilities").
Another source of future liquidity and financial flexibility is ProLogis'
shelf-registered securities which can be issued in the form of debt securities,
preferred shares, Common Shares, rights to purchase Common Shares and preferred
share purchase rights on an as-needed basis. ProLogis currently has $608.0
million of shelf-registered securities available for issuance, subject to
ProLogis' ability to effect an offering on satisfactory terms.
Cash Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased by $33.1 million in 1999 as
compared to 1998 ($271.4 million in 1999 and $238.3 million in 1998). Cash
provided by operating activities increased by $45.8 million in 1998 as compared
to 1997 ($238.3 million in 1998 as compared to $192.5 million in 1997). These
increases are primarily the result of the increased number of operating
facilities in each year. See "-- Results of Operations -- Property Operations".
Cash provided by operating activities exceeded the cash distributions paid on
Common Shares in 1999, 1998 and 1997.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For the years 1999, 1998 and 1997, ProLogis funded its investment needs
primarily with lines of credit borrowings and short-term borrowings, which were
subsequently repaid with cash flow from operations, proceeds from sales of debt
and equity securities, and proceeds from the dispositions of real estate assets
(from both the property operations segment and the CDFS business segment).
ProLogis' investment activities used approximately $34.4 million, $1.26 billion
and $571.1 million of cash in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. ProLogis'
primary investing activity in 1999 was the Meridian Merger which was financed
primarily with the issuance of equity securities and the assumption of
Meridian's liabilities. ProLogis' financing activities resulted in a decrease in
cash of $230.8 million in 1999 (primarily due to net repayments on ProLogis'
lines of credit) and increases in cash of $1.06 billion and $398.8 million in
1998 and 1997, respectively.
44
47
Investments in real estate (including recurring capital expenditures and
tenant improvements and lease commissions on previously leased space), net of
proceeds from dispositions, provided net cash of $57.7 million in 1999 and used
cash of $607.2 million in 1998 and $485.5 million in 1997. ProLogis' cash
investments in its unconsolidated entities aggregated $141.0 million in 1999,
$657.5 million in 1998 (includes the initial cash outlays for the acquisitions
of Frigoscandia, ProLogis Kingspark and ProLogis Garonor) and $85.6 million in
1997. ProLogis' investment activities in 1999 were substantially self-funding,
primarily due to the significant amount of cash generated from the disposition
of facilities.
ProLogis' primary cash financing activities in 1999 were: (i) the issuance
of $500.0 million of senior unsecured notes; (ii) arranging longer-term secured
debt agreements that generated $462.1 million of funds; (iii) repayments of
borrowings on ProLogis' unsecured lines of credit (net reduction in outstanding
borrowings of $395.6 million in 1999); and (iv) cash payments associated with
the Meridian Merger (paydown of Meridian's outstanding line of credit of $328.4
million and $67.6 million of payments to Meridian shareholders). See "-- Results
of Operations -- Meridian Merger".
ProLogis' primary cash financing activities in 1998 were: (i) the sale of
Series D preferred shares generating net proceeds of $241.5 million; (ii) sales
of Common Shares (net of repurchases of Common Shares under the employee share
purchase plan) generating net proceeds of $130.6 million; (iii) net borrowings
on ProLogis' credit facilities of $494.3 million; (iv) proceeds from short-term
borrowings of $350.0 million ($200 million of which was used primarily to
finance the acquisition of Frigoscandia AB and was repaid on March 31, 1998
after third-party financing was obtained); (v) the issuance of senior unsecured
notes generating net proceeds of $371.5 million; and (vi) net proceeds from a
secured financing of $65.5 million.
ProLogis' primary cash financing activities in 1997 were: (i) sales of
Common Shares (net of repurchases of Common Shares under the employee share
purchase plan) generating net proceeds of $406.1 million; (ii) the issuance of
senior unsecured notes generating net proceeds of $197.8 million; and (iii) net
repayments on ProLogis' lines of credit of $38.6 million.
Common Share cash distributions were $209.0 million (including $11.1
million paid to Meridian shareholders), $151.1 million and $106.6 million in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Dividends paid on preferred shares were $56.8
million in 1999 (including $0.7 million paid to Meridian shareholder), $49.1
million in 1998 and $35.3 million in 1997. See "-- Distribution and Dividend
Requirements".
Credit Facilities
ProLogis has an unsecured credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A.
("Bank of America"), Commerzbank AG and Chase Bank of Texas, National
Association, as agents for a bank group (the "Lenders") that provides for a
$550.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. Borrowings bear interest, at
ProLogis' option, at either (a) the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5%
and the prime rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 1.00% based upon ProLogis' current senior
debt ratings. ProLogis' borrowings are primarily at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus
1.00% (6.8225% as of December 31, 1999). Additionally, the credit agreement
provides for a facility fee of 0.20% per annum. The line of credit matures on
March 29, 2001 and may be extended for an additional year at ProLogis' option.
As of December 31, 1999, $45.0 million of borrowings were outstanding on the
line of credit and ProLogis was in compliance with all covenants contained in
the credit agreement.
The $550.0 million unsecured line of credit replaced ProLogis' previous
$350.0 million unsecured line of credit that was put into place in August 1998.
ProLogis' entered into the new credit agreement to allow for increased borrowing
capacity following the Meridian Merger.
As of December 31, 1998, ProLogis had an agreement with the Lenders that
provided for a term loan of $150.0 million. The term loan was repaid on April
26, 1999 and the agreement was terminated. ProLogis paid interest at LIBOR plus
1.00% on the term loan borrowings.
In addition, ProLogis has a $25.0 million short-term unsecured
discretionary line of credit with Bank of America that matures on October 1,
2000. By agreement between ProLogis and Bank of America, the rate of interest on
and the maturity date of each advance are determined at the time of each
advance. There were no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit as of
December 31, 1999.
45
48
On December 17, 1999, ProLogis obtained a multi-currency, unsecured
revolving line of credit in the currency equivalent of 325.0 million euros (the
currency equivalent of approximately $327.3 million as of December 31, 1999
based on currency exchange rates quoted by Reuters) through a group of 17 banks,
on whose behalf ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. acted as agent. The line of credit was
obtained for the purpose of funding ProLogis' European development activities.
The interest rate on this four-year revolving line of credit is Euribor plus
0.75% or Sterling LIBOR plus 0.75%, (borrowings outstanding as of December 31,
1999 were at a weighted average interest rate of 4.25%). As of December 31,
1999, there were 53.3 million euros of borrowings (the currency equivalent of
approximately $53.7 million as of December 31, 1999 based on currency exchange
rates quoted by Reuters) were outstanding on the line of credit and ProLogis was
in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit agreement.
Derivative Financial Instruments
ProLogis uses derivative financial instruments as hedges to manage
well-defined risk associated with interest and foreign currency rate
fluctuations on existing or anticipated obligations and transactions. ProLogis
does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market risk
and credit risk. Market risk is defined as the potential for loss in the value
of the derivative due to adverse changes in market prices (interest rates or
foreign currency rates). The use of derivative financial instruments allows
ProLogis to manage the risks of increases in interest rates and fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the effects these fluctuations
would have on ProLogis' income and cash flows.
Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract
fails to perform or meet their financial obligation under the contract. ProLogis
does not obtain collateral to support financial instruments subject to credit
risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties. ProLogis does not
anticipate non-performance by any of the counterparties to its derivative
contracts. Should a counterparty fail to perform, however, ProLogis would incur
a financial loss to the extent of the positive fair market value of the
derivative instruments, if any.
As of December 31, 1999, ProLogis had foreign currency put option contracts
outstanding in the notional amount of 23.0 million euros (the currency
equivalent of approximately $23.2 million based on currency exchange rates
quoted by the Reuters) related to its operations in Europe. The outstanding
contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and were marked to market as of
December 31, 1999. ProLogis recognized an aggregate expense of $92,000 on the
put option contracts including the mark to market adjustment of $47,000. The put
option contracts provide ProLogis with the option to exchange euros for U.S.
dollars at a fixed exchange rate such that if the euro were to depreciate
against the U.S. dollar to predetermined levels (as set by the contract),
ProLogis could exercise its options and mitigate its foreign currency exchange
losses.
ProLogis has interest rate swap agreements related to variable rate
mortgage notes and other unsecured debt in the currency equivalent of
approximately $169.9 million as of December 31, 1999 (based on currency exchange
rates quoted by Reuters). The swap agreements have a combined notional amount of
1.1 billion French francs and fix the Euribor rate at 3.62% through December
2003 on a notional amount in the currency equivalent of approximately $30.9
million as of December 31, 1999, at 3.60% through January 2004 on a notional
amount in the currency equivalent of approximately $118.9 million as of December
31, 1999 and at 3.59% through January 2004 on a notional amount in the currency
equivalent of approximately $20.1 million. In December 1999, a principal paydown
was made on the underlying debt resulting in a notional amount of the swap
agreements in excess of the principal balances. Consequently, swap agreements
with a notional amount of $26.2 million were cancelled in January 2000 at a gain
to ProLogis of $1.4 million. ProLogis contributed 50.1% of the common stock of
the wholly owned entity that holds the debt related to the swap agreements to
the ProLogis European Properties Fund in January 2000. ProLogis is committed to
contributing the remaining 49.9% of the common stock to the ProLogis European
Properties Fund in January 2001.
ProLogis entered into two interest rate protection agreements with a
combined notional amount of $150.0 million in October 1997 in anticipation of
debt offerings to be completed in 1998. During 1998, the interest rate
protection agreements no longer qualified for hedge accounting treatment under
GAAP. Accordingly, ProLogis began marking these agreements to market and for the
year ended December 31, 1998 ProLogis
46
49
recognized a non-cash expense of $26.1 million. These agreements were terminated
in February 1999 at a total cost of $27.0 million (an additional $0.9 million
expense was recognized in 1999). ProLogis used these agreements to set the
interest rate on $200.0 million of secured debt that was obtained in March 1999.
See "-- Results of Operations -- Other Income and Expense Items -- Foreign
Currency Hedge Income (Expense)" for a discussion of foreign currency hedge
contracts entered into in 1997 and terminated in 1998 related to the acquisition
of Frigoscandia.
Commitments
As of December 31, 1999, ProLogis had letters of intent or contingent
contracts, subject to ProLogis' final due diligence, for the acquisition of
140,000 square feet of distribution facilities at an estimated acquisition cost
of $4.0 million. The foregoing transactions are subject to a number of
conditions, and ProLogis cannot predict with certainty that they will be
consummated. In addition, as of December 31, 1999, ProLogis had $424.2 million
of budgeted development costs for developments in process, of which $247.6
million was unfunded.
Frigoscandia AB has a multi-currency, three-year revolving credit agreement
through a consortium of 11 European banks in the currency equivalent of
approximately $186.0 million as of December 31, 1999 based on currency exchange
rates quoted by the Svenska Handelsbanken. The loan bears interest at the
relevant index (LIBOR or Euribor based on the currency borrowed) plus 0.65%.
ProLogis has entered into a guaranty agreement for 25% of the loan balance.
ProLogis Kingspark has a line of credit agreement with a bank in the United
Kingdom. The credit agreement, which provides for borrowings of up to 10.0
million pounds sterling (the currency equivalent of approximately $16.1 million
as of December 31, 1999 based on currency exchange rates quoted by Reuters). The
line of credit, which was increased to 15.0 million pounds sterling in February
2000, has been guaranteed by ProLogis. As of December 31, 1999, no borrowings
were outstanding on the line of credit. However, as of December 31, 1999,
ProLogis Kingspark had the currency equivalent of approximately $7.9 million of
letters of credit outstanding (based on currency exchange rates quoted by
Reuters) that reduce the amount of available borrowings on the line of credit.
Additionally, ProLogis has an agreement whereby it has guaranteed the
performance and obligations of ProLogis Kingspark with respect to an
infrastructure agreement entered into by ProLogis Kingspark related to the
development of a land parcel. As of December 31, 1999, ProLogis had an unfunded
commitment on this guarantee agreement in the currency equivalent of
approximately $9.0 million based on currency exchange rates quoted by Reuters.
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
ProLogis' current distribution policy is to pay quarterly distributions to
shareholders based upon what it considers to be a reasonable percentage of cash
flow and at the level that will allow ProLogis to continue to qualify as a REIT
for tax purposes. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense, cash flow
typically will be greater than earnings from operations and net earnings.
Therefore, annual distributions are expected to be consistently higher than
annual earnings.
Cash distributions paid in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $1.30 per Common Share,
$1.24 per Common Share and $1.07 per Common Share, respectively. On December 16,
1999, ProLogis declared a distribution of $0.335 per Common Share which was paid
on February 23, 1999. The Board has set a projected annual distribution rate for
2000 of $1.34 per Common Share. The payment of distributions is subject to the
discretion of the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and
operating results of ProLogis and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board
during the year.
On May 3, 1999, ProLogis paid a common distribution to holders of Meridian
common stock as of March 19, 1999. This distribution, which was declared by the
Meridian Board of Directors prior to the closing of the Meridian Merger, related
to the first quarter of 1999 and aggregated $11.1 million. This liability was
assumed by ProLogis in connection with the Meridian Merger. ). See " -- Results
of Operations -- Meridian Merger".
47
50
The annual dividend rates on ProLogis' preferred shares are $2.35 per
Series A preferred share, $1.75 per Series B preferred share, $4.27 per Series C
preferred share, $1.98 per Series D preferred share and $2.19 per series E
preferred share.
On April 30, 1999, ProLogis paid an aggregate dividend of $1.1 million on
the Series E preferred shares ($0.5469 per share) of which $729,200 related to
Meridian's Series D preferred stock and was accrued by Meridian prior to the
closing of the Meridian Merger. See "-- Results of Operations -- Meridian
Merger".
Pursuant to the terms of its preferred shares, ProLogis is restricted from
declaring or paying any distribution with respect to the Common Shares unless
and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the Preferred Shares have
been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been
declared for the then current dividend period with respect to the Preferred
Shares.
Conversion to the Euro
Effective January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the
European Monetary Union launched the new monetary unit, the euro, as the single
currency for the member countries of the European Monetary Union. During the
period from January 1, 1999 to January 1, 2002, a transition period will be in
effect during which time the euro will be available for non-cash transactions.
However, transactions can continue to be denominated in the old national
currencies. After January 1, 2002, all transactions must be denominated in the
euro. The targeted exchange rates of the old national currencies to the euro
were determined in May 1998. Conversion to the euro has not had, nor is
management aware of any future effects of the conversion to the euro that will
have, a material impact on its business operations or results of operations.
NEW TAX LEGISLATION
The REIT Modernization Act ("RMA"), which was passed in 1999 and will take
effect on January 1, 2001, modifies certain provisions of the Code with respect
to the taxation of REITs. Primarily, the RMA allows for the creation of Taxable
REIT Subsidiaries ("TRS") which will allow ProLogis and other REITs to own up to
100% of a TRS (previously limited to 10% of the voting stock). Due to the
previous limitations, certain of ProLogis' current taxable subsidiaries (those
entities whose operations generated income that was restricted under the REIT
rules) were formed as entities in which ProLogis owned 100% of the preferred
stock and a third party owned 100% of the voting common stock. Accordingly,
ProLogis accounted for these investments (excluding ProLogis Development
Services which is consolidated) under the equity method rather than
consolidating the investments in its balance sheet and results of operations.
Because ProLogis will be able to own 100% of these entities beginning on January
1, 2001, ProLogis is pursuing the purchase of the common stock of these entities
from the third parties currently owning the stock. See Note 5 to ProLogis'
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Funds from operations attributable to Common Shares increased $91.8 million
to $320.2 million for 1999 from $228.4 million for 1998. Funds from operation
attributable to Common Shares increased $70.9 million from 1997 to 1998.
Funds from operations does not represent net income or cash from operating
activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash needs, which is presented in the Consolidated Statement
of Cash Flows in ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Funds
from operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an
indicator of ProLogis' operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows
from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity.
ProLogis considers funds from operations to be a useful supplemental measure of
comparative period operating performance and as a supplemental measure to assist
management, financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders with an
indication of the ability of ProLogis to fund its capital expenditures and
investment activities and to fund other cash needs.
The funds from operations measure presented by ProLogis will not
necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs because
many REITs, including ProLogis, compute funds from operations in a
48
51
manner different from the definition used by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). For the three year period ended December
31, 1999 presented below, funds from operations, as published by NAREIT is
defined as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or
(losses) from debt restructuring and sales of previously depreciated property,
extraordinary or unusual items as defined by GAAP and significant non-recurring
items that materially distort the comparative measurement of company performance
over time, plus depreciation and amortization unique to the real estate
industry, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. The adjustments for
unconsolidated entities are computed to reflect their funds from operations on
the same basis.
Funds from operations as used by ProLogis is modified from the NAREIT
definition to exclude: (i) deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax
expenses of ProLogis' taxable subsidiaries; (ii) foreign currency exchange gains
and losses resulting from debt transactions between ProLogis and its
consolidated and unconsolidated entities; (iii) foreign currency exchange gains
and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange
rates) of third party debt of ProLogis' foreign consolidated and unconsolidated
entities; and (iv) mark to market adjustments related to derivative financial
instruments utilized to manage ProLogis' foreign currency risks. Additionally,
ProLogis includes gains or losses on the disposition of real estate utilized in
ProLogis' non-CDFS business in funds from operations. These adjustments to the
NAREIT definition are made to reflect ProLogis' funds from operations on a
comparable basis with the other REITs who to not engage in the types of
transactions that give rise to these items.
Funds from operations is as follows (in thousands):

YEAR 2000
Overview
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Certain computer
programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure
or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar business activities.
Prior to December 31, 1999, ProLogis completed a review of all of its
computer systems and applications to determine if these programs were Year 2000
compliant. ProLogis did not identify any computer system or applications that,
upon failure to be Year 2000 compliant, would have had a material adverse impact
on its business or results of operations.
Prior to and after January 1, 2000 ProLogis and its unconsolidated entities
(CSI, Frigoscandia and ProLogis Kingspark) have not experienced any disruptions
in their business operations related to the Year 2000 issue. Accordingly, Year
2000 problems have not materially impacted the financial condition, liquidity or
results of operations of ProLogis and its unconsolidated entities as reported
through December 31, 1999. Further, Year 2000 issues are not expected to
materially impact the financial condition, liquidity or results of operations of
ProLogis and its unconsolidated entities after December 31, 1999. Therefore,
ProLogis and its unconsolidated entities have not recorded any accruals for
contingent losses related to Year 2000 issues.
There can be no assurances that Year 2000 related issues will not still
have a material adverse effect on ProLogis, its business and its financial
condition or on the business and financial condition of ProLogis' unconsolidated
entities. However, ProLogis believes its Year 2000 compliance program has
reduced the level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 impact in areas that are
within its direct control and management of ProLogis believes that the
possibility of any future interruptions of normal operations is remote.
ProLogis' activities with respect to its assessment of Year 2000 compliance
and its remediation efforts have been performed primarily by existing personnel.
ProLogis' historical costs for addressing the Year 2000 issue are not material
and management does not anticipate any future costs associated with the Year
2000 issue. Third-party costs and interim software solutions for Year 2000
issues have not exceeded $250,000. ProLogis does not separately track the
internal costs incurred for Year 2000 compliance issues. Such costs are
principally the related payroll costs of its IT group. Although the cost
associated with the replacement of ProLogis' key property management and core
accounting systems that was completed in 1999 was substantial, the replacements
were made to improve operational efficiency and were not accelerated due to the
Year 2000 issue. ProLogis did not delay any material projects as a result of the
Year 2000 issue. Funds expended to address Year 2000 issues were made from
operating cash flow.
The total costs incurred for Year 2000 remediation was less than $250,000
for CSI, approximately $3.0 million for Frigoscandia and less than $100,000 for
ProLogis Kingspark. No future costs are expected to be incurred.
ProLogis and its unconsolidated entities believe that Year 2000 issues have
not and will not materially effect the their historic spending patterns or cost
relationships. Additionally, ProLogis believes that the revenue patterns of it
and its unconsolidated entities have not and will not be effected by Year 2000
related problems.

RISK FACTORS
Risks factors include the occurrence of any of the events described below
that could adversely affect ProLogis' ability to achieve its projected returns
on acquisitions and projects under development and could hinder ProLogis'
ability to make expected distributions to equity holders.
ProLogis is Exposed to the General Economic Conditions of the Markets in which
it Owns Property
ProLogis' operating performance depends on the economic conditions of
markets in which its facilities are concentrated. ProLogis' operating
performance could be adversely affected if conditions, such as an oversupply of
space or a reduction in demand for industrial distribution facilities, in
ProLogis' larger markets become less favorable relative to other geographic
areas. Any material oversupply of space or material reduction of demand for
space could adversely effect ProLogis' operating income and the value of the
Common Shares.
ProLogis' Investments Are Subject To Risks Particular To Real Estate
Value of Real Estate Dependent on Numerous Factors
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real
estate values are affected by a number of factors, including:
- changes in the general economic climate;
- local conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand
for real estate in an area;
- the quality and philosophy of management;
- competition from other available space;
- the ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance and insurance;
- the ability of the owner to control variable operating costs;
- governmental regulations;
- interest rate levels;
- the availability of financing; and
- potential liability under, and changes in, environmental, zoning, and
other laws.
Restrictions on, and Risks of, Unsuccessful Development Activities
ProLogis intends to continue to pursue development activities as
opportunities arise. Such development activities generally require various
government and other approvals. ProLogis may not receive such approvals.
ProLogis will be subject to risks associated with any such development
activities. These risks include:
- the risk that development opportunities explored by ProLogis may be
abandoned;
- the risk that construction costs of a project may exceed original
estimates, possibly making the project less profitable than originally
estimated;
- limited cash flow during the construction period; and
- the risk that occupancy rates and rents of a completed project will not
be sufficient to make the project profitable.
In case of an unsuccessful development project, ProLogis' loss could exceed
its investment in the project.
Tenant Default
ProLogis' income and distributable cash flow would be adversely affected if
a significant number of ProLogis' tenants are unable to meet their obligations
to ProLogis, or if ProLogis is unable to lease, on
51
54
economically favorable terms, a significant amount of space in its industrial
distribution facilities. In the event of default by a significant number of
tenants, ProLogis may experience delays and incur substantial costs in enforcing
its rights as landlords.
Real Estate Investments Are Not As Liquid As Other Types Of Assets
Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of assets and
therefore may tend to limit the ability of ProLogis to react promptly to changes
in economic or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures
associated with real estate investments, such as mortgage payments, real estate
taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause
a reduction in income from the investments. Like other companies qualifying as
REITs under the Code, ProLogis must comply with the safe harbor rules, relating
to the number of properties sold in a year, their tax bases and the cost of
improvements made to the properties, or meet other tests which enable a REIT to
avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. Thus, ProLogis' ability to sell
assets at any time to change its asset base may be restricted.
Share Prices May Be Affected By Market Interest Rates
The annual distribution rate on Common Shares as a percentage of its market
price may influence the trading price of such Common Shares. An increase in
market interest rates may lead investors to demand a higher annual distribution
rate, which could adversely affect the market price of such Common Shares. A
decrease in the market price of the Common Shares could reduce ProLogis' ability
to raise additional equity capital in the public markets.
Uninsured Losses May Adversely Affect ProLogis
Some types of losses, such as from acts of war, may be uninsurable, or the
cost of insuring against such losses may not be economically justifiable. If an
uninsured loss occurs, ProLogis could lose both the invested capital in and
anticipated revenues from the affected facility, but would still be obligated to
repay any recourse mortgage indebtedness on the facility.
Potential Environmental Liability
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at, on,
under or in its property. The costs of removal or remediation of such substances
could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether
the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence
of such hazardous substances. The presence of such substances on ProLogis'
properties may adversely affect its ability to sell such properties or to borrow
using such properties as collateral and may also have an adverse affect on
ProLogis' ability to pay distributions to its shareholders.
Debt Financing, Increases in Interest Rates, Financial Covenants and Absence
of Limitations on Debt May Result in Decreased Distribution to Shareholders
Debt Financing
ProLogis is subject to risks normally associated with debt financing,
including the risk that ProLogis' cash flow will be insufficient to meet
required payments or principal and interest and the risk that ProLogis will not
be able to refinance existing indebtedness or that the terms of such
refinancings will not be as favorable as terms of the existing indebtedness.
There can be no assurance that ProLogis will be able to refinance any
indebtedness or otherwise obtain funds by selling assets or raising equity to
make required payments on maturing indebtedness.
Requirements of Credit Facilities; Foreclosures
The terms of ProLogis' indebtedness require ProLogis to comply with a
number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt
service coverage and leverage ratios, maintaining insurance coverage, etc. These
covenants may limit ProLogis' flexibility in its operations, and breaches of
these covenants could
52
55
result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness
even if ProLogis has satisfied its payment obligations. If ProLogis is unable to
refinance its indebtedness at maturity or meet its payment obligations, the
amount of cash available for distribution may be adversely affected.
No Limitations on Debt
ProLogis currently has a policy of incurring debt only, if upon such
incurrence, ProLogis' debt-to-book capitalization ratio, as adjusted, would
equal 50% or less. The Board could alter or eliminate this policy without
shareholder approval and would do so if, for example, it were necessary in order
for ProLogis to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code. If this policy
were changed, ProLogis could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an
increase in debt service that could adversely affect the cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
Failure to Qualify as a REIT Could Adversely Affect Shareholders
ProLogis has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with
its taxable year ended December 31, 1993. To maintain REIT status, ProLogis must
meet a number of highly technical requirements on a continuing basis. Those
requirements seek to ensure, among other things, that the gross income and
investments of a REIT are largely real estate related, that a REIT distributes
substantially all its ordinary taxable income to shareholders on a current basis
and that the REIT's ownership is not overly concentrated. Due to the complex
nature of these rules, the limited available guidance concerning interpretation
of the rules, the importance of ongoing factual determinations and the
possibility of adverse changes in the law, administrative interpretations of the
law and developments at ProLogis, no assurance can be given that ProLogis will
qualify as a REIT for any particular year.
If ProLogis fails to qualify as a REIT, it will be taxed as a regular
corporation, and distributions to shareholders will not be deductible in
computing ProLogis' taxable income. The resulting corporate tax liabilities
could materially reduce the funds available for distribution to ProLogis'
shareholders or for reinvestment. In the absence of REIT status, distributions
to shareholders would no longer be required. Moreover, ProLogis might not be
able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the four taxable years after the year
during which ProLogis ceased to qualify as a REIT. In addition, if ProLogis
later requalified as a REIT, it might be required to pay a full corporate-level
tax on any unrealized gain in its assets as of the date of requalification and
to make distributions to shareholders equal to any earnings accumulated during
the period of non-REIT status.
Potential Adverse Effect of REIT Distribution Requirements
To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code, ProLogis must
annually distribute to ProLogis' shareholders at least 95% of its ordinary
taxable income, excluding net capital gains (changed to 90% as a result of the
RMA -- see "-- New Tax Legislation"). This requirement limits ProLogis' ability
to accumulate capital. ProLogis may not have sufficient cash or other liquid
assets to meet the distribution requirements. Difficulties in meeting the
distribution requirements might arise due to competing demands for ProLogis'
funds or to timing differences between tax reporting and cash receipts and
disbursements, because income may have to be reported before cash is received,
because expenses may have to be paid before a deduction is allowed or because
deductions may be disallowed or limited. In those situations, ProLogis might be
required to borrow funds or sell facilities on adverse terms in order to meet
the distribution requirements. If ProLogis fails to make a required
distribution, it would cease to be a REIT.
Currency Risk
ProLogis has pursued and intends to continue to pursue growth opportunities
in international markets and often invests in countries where the U.S. dollar is
not the national currency. As a result, ProLogis is subject to foreign currency
risk due to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies
and the U. S. dollar. For example, a significant depreciation in the value of
the foreign currencies of one or more countries where ProLogis has a significant
investment may materially adversely affect ProLogis' performance. ProLogis
53
56
attempts to mitigate any such effects through the use of foreign currency hedge
contracts, although there can be no assurance that such attempts will be
successful.
Influence of ProLogis' Principal Shareholder May Impact ProLogis' Management
and Operations
ProLogis and Security Capital are parties to a Third Amended and Restated
Investor Agreement, dated as of September 9, 1997. Pursuant to the investor
agreement, Security Capital has the right, so long as it owns between 10% and
25% of the Common Shares, to nominate one person to the Board. So long as
Security Capital owns 25% or more of the Common Shares, Security Capital will be
entitled to nominate a proportionate number of persons to the Board subject to a
maximum of three nominees if the size of the Board does not increase above the
current size of ten trustees. Under the investor agreement, so long as it owns
at least 25% of the Common Shares, Security Capital also has the right of prior
approval with respect to the following matters:
- the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity
securities, other than issuances in connection with option, dividend
reinvestment and similar plans, for less than the fair market value of
such securities;
- the issuance of any preferred shares which would result in the fixed
charge coverage ratio being less than 1.4 to 1.0;
- adopting any employee benefit plans under which Common Shares may be
issued;
- the compensation of senior officers of ProLogis; and
- the incurrence of additional indebtedness which would result in the
interest expense coverage ratio being less than 2.0 to 1.0.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
ProLogis is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rates. On a limited basis, ProLogis uses certain
derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements and
foreign currency option and forward contracts to reduce its market risk.
ProLogis does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes
and all financial instruments are entered into in accordance with Board approved
policies.
ProLogis has estimated its market risk exposures using sensitivity
analysis. ProLogis has defined its market risk exposure as the potential loss in
future earnings and cash flow with respect to interest rate exposure and future
earnings with respect to foreign currency exchange exposure of its market risk
sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in year end
interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The results of the
sensitivity analysis are summarized below. The sensitivity analysis is of
limited predictive value. As a result, ProLogis' ultimate realized gains or
losses with respect to interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
will depend on the exposures that arise during a future period, hedging
strategies at the time, and the prevailing interest and foreign currency
exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
ProLogis' interest rate risk is related primarily to its variable rate
credit facilities. ProLogis' interest rate risk management objective is to limit
the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. To achieve its
objective, ProLogis primarily borrows on a fixed rate basis. Therefore,
ProLogis' primary interest rate risk is created by its variable rate unsecured
lines of credit and its variable rate short-term borrowing arrangements.
ProLogis substantially eliminates the interest rate risk generated by longer
term variable rate debt by fixing the interest payments with interest rate swap
agreements. ProLogis had $160.7 million longer-term variable rate debt
outstanding as of December 31, 1999. ProLogis has substantially fixed the
interest payments on this debt with interest rate swap agreements. In addition,
ProLogis has in the past and may in the future, utilize derivative instruments
as hedges in anticipation of future fixed rate debt transactions to manage
interest rate exposure.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, ProLogis had weighted average
outstanding borrowings of $232.8 million on its variable rate unsecured lines of
credit and $47.9 million on its variable rate short-term
54
57
borrowing arrangement. Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, which
assumed a 10% adverse change in interest rates, the estimated market risk
exposure for interest rate-related financial instruments was approximately $1.7
million on both future earnings and cash flow as of December 31, 1999. The
sensitivity analysis was based on the weighted average outstanding variable rate
borrowings for 1999 and assumed a flat yield curve.
Foreign Currency Risk
ProLogis uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage
foreign currency exchange rate risk related to projected net operating income
(operating income net of foreign denominated interest expense) from foreign
entities. Prior to September 1999, ProLogis did not hedge projected net
operating income from foreign entities with derivative contracts because it was
not material relative to ProLogis' total net operating income.
In addition, ProLogis incurs foreign currency risk related to its U.S.
dollar denominated loans to its foreign consolidated subsidiaries. The
remeasurement of intercompany loans results in foreign currency exchange gains
or losses which are recognized by ProLogis. However, ProLogis does not incur an
actual cash gain or loss until the loans are repaid. ProLogis' exposure to
foreign currency exchange rates exists with the following currencies versus the
U.S. dollar: euro, British pound sterling and Swedish krona.
ProLogis' foreign currency exchange sensitivity analysis included foreign
currency forward and options contracts and other financial instruments affected
by foreign currency exchange risk, as well as U.S. dollar denominated loans to
foreign consolidated entities. Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis,
which assumed a 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, the
estimated 1999 year-end market risk exposure to future earnings was $16.8
million. The sensitivity analysis excluded the impact of the change in foreign
currency exchange rates on the underlying projected net operating income, which
has a high degree of inverse correlation with the derivative instruments used to
hedge it. However, since ProLogis hedges approximately 75% of its projected net
operating income from foreign entities, approximately 25% of the impact to total
net operating income of an adverse movement in foreign exchange rates would not
be offset by derivative instruments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
ProLogis Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ProLogis
Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
did not audit the financial statements of Frigoscandia Holding AB accounted for
under the equity method of accounting, in which the Trust has investments in and
advances to amounting to $196.9 million and $229.9 million as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively, and losses from unconsolidated entity of $2.9
million and $7.6 million in 1999, and 1998, respectively. We did not audit the
financial statements of CS Integrated LLC accounted for under the equity method
of accounting, in which the Trust has an investment in and advances to amounting
to $186.9 million as of December 31, 1999 and earnings from unconsolidated
entity of $9.2 million in 1999. These statements were audited by other auditors
whose reports were furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to
the amounts included for these entities is based solely on the reports of the
other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors,
the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of ProLogis Trust and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
ProLogis Trust ("ProLogis") is a publicly held real estate investment trust
("REIT") that owns and operates a global network of industrial distribution
facilities. The ProLogis Operating System(TM), comprised of the Market Services
Group, the Global Services Group, the Global Development Group and the Customer
Services Group, utilizes ProLogis' international network of distribution
facilities to meet customer expansion and reconfiguration needs globally.
ProLogis believes it has distinguished itself from its competition by developing
an organizational structure and service delivery system built around its
customers. ProLogis has organized its business into three operating segments:
property operations, corporate distribution facilities services business and
temperature-controlled distribution operations. See Note 18.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Financial Presentation
The accounts of ProLogis, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority
owned and controlled partnerships are consolidated in the accompanying financial
statements. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain
amounts included in the consolidated financial statements for prior years have
been reclassified to conform to the 1999 financial statement presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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.
On December 29, 1998, ProLogis invested in Garonor Holdings S.A. ("Garonor
Holdings") by acquiring 100% of its preferred stock. Garonor Holdings, a
Luxembourg company, owns Garonor S.A. ("ProLogis Garonor"), an industrial
distribution real estate operating company in France. Security Capital Group
Incorporated ("Security Capital"), ProLogis' largest shareholder, acquired 100%
of the common stock of Garonor Holdings. ProLogis accounted for its investment
in Garonor Holdings under the equity method. On June 29, 1999, ProLogis acquired
the common stock of Garonor Holdings from Security Capital, resulting in
ProLogis owning all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Garonor
Holdings. Accordingly, since June 29, 1999 the accounts of Garonor Holdings have
been consolidated in ProLogis' financial statements along with ProLogis' other
wholly owned subsidiaries and majority owned and controlled partnerships. The
results of operations of Garonor Holdings for the period from December 29, 1998
through June 29, 1999 are reflected by ProLogis under the equity method. See
Note 5.
REIT Organization Status
In January 1993, ProLogis was formed as a Maryland REIT and has elected to
be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").
REITs are not generally required to pay federal income taxes if minimum
distribution and income, asset and shareholder tests are met. During 1999, 1998
and 1997, ProLogis was in compliance with the REIT requirements. Thus, no
federal income tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements for ProLogis and its wholly owned subsidiaries which are
qualified REIT subsidiaries. The foreign countries that ProLogis operates in do
not recognize REITs under their respective tax laws. Accordingly, ProLogis has
recognized foreign country income taxes in its results of operations, as
applicable.

PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Real Estate and Depreciation
Real estate is carried at cost, which is not in excess of estimated fair
market value. Costs directly associated with the successful acquisition,
renovation or development of real estate are capitalized. Direct costs
associated with unsuccessful acquisitions are expensed at the time the pursuit
is abandoned.
Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of depreciable
property on a straight-line basis: 10 years for tenant improvements, 30 years
for acquired buildings and 40 years for buildings developed by ProLogis.
ProLogis' management periodically reviews long-lived assets (primarily real
estate) that it owns and operates for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", management's
review involves comparing current and future operating performance of the
assets, the most significant of which is undiscounted operating cash flows, to
the carrying value of the assets. Based on this analysis, a provision for
possible loss is recognized if necessary. In management's opinion, long-lived
assets, primarily real estate assets, are not carried at amounts in excess of
their estimated realizable values. Long-lived assets (primarily real estate) to
be disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or
fair value less cost to sell.
ProLogis acquired certain real estate through the formation of partnerships
(as discussed in Note 7) wherein ProLogis contributed cash and the limited
partners contributed real estate in exchange for partnership units which are
ultimately exchangeable for ProLogis common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01
par value ("Common Shares"). In consolidating the partnerships' assets, real
estate cost includes the estimated fair value attributable to the limited
partners' interests as of the acquisition dates.
ProLogis Development Services Incorporated ("ProLogis Development
Services") develops industrial distribution facilities to meet customer
requirements, which are often subsequently sold to customers or third parties.
ProLogis Development Services also contracts on a fee basis to develop
distribution facilities for customers or third parties. ProLogis owns 100% of
the preferred stock of ProLogis Development Services and realizes substantially
all economic benefits of its activities. Because ProLogis advances mortgage
loans to ProLogis Development Services to fund its acquisition, development and
construction activities, ProLogis Development Services is consolidated with
ProLogis. ProLogis Development Services is not a qualified REIT subsidiary of
ProLogis under the Code. Accordingly, provisions for federal income taxes are
recognized, as appropriate.
Capitalization Policy
Renovations and improvements to real estate assets are capitalized and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance costs are
expensed as incurred to the extent they are not acquisition-related renovation
costs identified during ProLogis' pre-acquisition due diligence.
General and administrative costs incurred for development (including land
acquisitions), renovation and leasing activities that are incremental and
identifiable to a specific activity are capitalized. Prior to April 1, 1998,
ProLogis also capitalized direct and incremental management costs incurred in
connection with the acquisition of existing operating facilities. In accordance
with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs
Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions", which was effective on April 1,
1998, such costs are no longer capitalized.
Costs capitalized to real estate are depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the real estate. Costs capitalized related to leasing activities are
included with other assets and are amortized over the lease term. ProLogis'
average lease term is between four and five years.
65
68
PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
ProLogis capitalizes interest costs incurred during the land development or
construction period of qualifying projects.
Unconsolidated Entities
ProLogis' investments in certain entities are accounted for under the
equity method. Accordingly, these investments are recognized at ProLogis' cost
as adjusted for ProLogis' proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the
companies, distributions received and other basis adjustments, as appropriate.
ProLogis' proportionate share of the earnings or losses of these companies is
recognized in income. See Note 5.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
ProLogis considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial
institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Costs of Raising Capital
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of shares are deducted from
shareholders' equity. Costs incurred in connection with the incurrence or
renewal of debt are capitalized, included with other assets, and amortized over
the term of the related loan or the renewal term.
Minority Interest
Minority interest is carried at cost and represents limited partners'
interests in various real estate partnerships controlled by ProLogis. Certain
minority interests are carried at the pro rata share of the estimated fair value
of the real estate contributed as of the acquisition dates, as adjusted for
subsequent earnings, contributions and distributions. Common Shares issued upon
exchange of limited partnership units are accounted for at the cost of the
minority interest surrendered.
Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, ProLogis uses certain derivative
financial instruments for the purpose of currency exchange rate and interest
rate risk management. To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivative
instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk
exposure that they are designed to hedge. For instruments associated with the
hedge of anticipated transactions, hedge effectiveness criteria also require
that the occurrence of the underlying transactions be probable. Instruments
meeting these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the
inception of the contract. Those risk management instruments not meeting these
criteria are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized
immediately in net income. See Note 16.
In assessing the fair value of its financial instruments, both derivative
and non-derivative, ProLogis uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are
based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date.
Primarily, quoted market prices or quotes from brokers or dealers for the same
or similar instruments are used to value marketable securities, long-term
investments and long-term debt. These values represent a general approximation
of possible value and may never actually be realized.
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging
Activities" was issued in June 1998. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000 and early adoption is allowed. SFAS No. 133
provides comprehensive guidelines for the recognition and measurement of
derivatives and hedging activities and, specifically, requires all derivatives
to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with
an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. Management is

financial statement disclosures based on the derivative financial instruments
currently employed by ProLogis. See Note 16.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains or Losses
ProLogis' consolidated 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. Income statement accounts are translated using the average
exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation
are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component
of shareholders' equity.
Foreign subsidiaries of ProLogis have certain transactions denominated in
currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, nonmonetary
assets and liabilities are remeasured 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. Remeasurement gains and losses of such foreign
subsidiaries, resulting primarily from the remeasurement of intercompany loans,
are included in ProLogis' results of operations. ProLogis recognized losses from
remeasurement of $11,436,000 and $348,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 1997, respectively, and a gain from remeasurement of $3,227,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
Transaction gains or losses occur when a transaction, denominated in a
currency other than the 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. Transaction gains
and losses are included in ProLogis' results of operations. ProLogis recognized
net foreign currency exchange transaction losses of $5,335,000 (including
$45,000 related to foreign currency put option contracts-see Note 16) and
$289,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. ProLogis
did not incur transaction gains or losses in 1997 due to its limited foreign
operations in that year.
During 1999, ProLogis entered into foreign currency put option contracts
related to its operations in Europe. These put option contracts do not qualify
for hedge accounting treatment, therefore, ProLogis recognized net mark to
market losses related to the contracts of $47,000 for 1999. See Note 16.
Revenue Recognition
ProLogis leases its operating facilities under operating leases and
recognizes the total lease payments provided for under the leases on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. A provision for possible loss is made
when collection of receivables is considered doubtful.
Gains or losses on the disposition of real estate are recorded when the
recognition criteria set forth under GAAP have been met, generally at the time
title is transferred and ProLogis has no future obligations under the contract.
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses include costs of on-site and property management personnel,
utilities, repairs and maintenance, property insurance and real estate taxes,
net of amounts recovered from tenants under the terms of the respective leases.
Stock-Based Compensation
ProLogis adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
which allows ProLogis to continue to account for its various stock-based
compensation plans using Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. Under
APB No. 25, if
67
70
PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
the exercise price of the stock options issued equals or exceeds the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized. However, certain pro forma earnings per share disclosures are
required and are presented in Note 13.
Comprehensive Income
ProLogis adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", on January
1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the total of
net earnings attributable to Common Shares and other comprehensive income.
The adoption of this standard did not have a significant effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or financial statement
disclosures of ProLogis. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
ProLogis had one item of other comprehensive income, the cumulative translation
adjustments account. This account has been recognized as a component of
shareholders' equity. ProLogis displays comprehensive income and its components
in its consolidated statements of shareholders' equity.
Earnings Per Share
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" was adopted in 1997. SFAS No. 128
replaced the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with a
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution that would result if securities or other
contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted to Common Shares or
resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in earnings. See Note
11.
Cost of Start-Up Activities
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities", which requires that costs associated with organization,
pre-opening, and start-up activities be expensed as incurred was adopted by
ProLogis on January 1, 1999. Through December 31, 1998, ProLogis capitalized
costs associated with start-up activities and amortized such costs over an
appropriate period, generally five years. In 1999, ProLogis expensed all
unamortized organization and start-up costs, approximating $1.4 million, as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In 1999, such costs
incurred have been expensed.
3. MERIDIAN MERGER
On March 30, 1999, Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc. ("Meridian"), a publicly
traded REIT that owned industrial distribution facilities in the United States,
was merged with and into ProLogis (the "Meridian Merger"). In accordance with
the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 16, 1998, as
amended (the "Merger Agreement"), the approximately 33.8 million outstanding
shares of Meridian common stock were exchanged (on a 1.10 for one basis) into
approximately 37.2 million ProLogis Common Shares. In addition, the holders of
Meridian common stock received $2.00 in cash per outstanding share,
approximately $67.6 million in total. The holders of Meridian's Series D
cumulative redeemable preferred stock received a new series of ProLogis
cumulative redeemable preferred shares, Series E preferred shares, on a one for
one basis. The Series E preferred shares have a 8.75% annual dividend rate
($2.1875 per share) and an aggregate liquidation value of $50.0 million. The
total purchase price of Meridian was approximately $1.54 billion, which included
the assumption of the outstanding debt and liabilities of Meridian as of March
30, 1999 and the issuance of approximately 1.1 million stock options each to
acquire 1.1 ProLogis Common Shares and $2.00 in cash. The assets acquired from
Meridian included approximately $1.44 billion of real estate assets, an interest
in a temperature-controlled distribution business of $28.7 million and cash and
other assets aggregating $72.3 million. The transaction was structured as a
tax-free merger and was accounted for under the purchase method.

approximately $184.0 million as of December 31, 1999) in the ProLogis European
Properties Fund and have committed to fund an additional 877.7 million euros

The ProLogis European Properties Fund intends to acquire additional
stabilized operating facilities from ProLogis, ProLogis Kingspark and unrelated
parties, including facilities to be developed by ProLogis and ProLogis Kingspark
in the future. Stabilized facilities have been defined for purposes of the
ProLogis European Properties Fund as facilities that meet minimum leasing
criteria and minimum net operating income yields, as defined and established by
agreement for each country. The ProLogis European Properties Fund has the right
to refuse to acquire facilities that ProLogis and ProLogis Kingspark have
developed if they do not meet the established criteria. ProLogis has an
agreement to manage the ProLogis European Properties Fund for a fee pursuant to
a 20-year management agreement.
In October 1999, the ProLogis European Properties Fund entered into an
agreement with two international banks for a three-year 500.0 million euro
revolving credit facility. The facility is secured by certain assets of the
ProLogis European Properties Fund. Borrowings can be denominated in sterling
currencies or the euro, and will bear interest at rates above the relevant index
(LIBOR or Euribor).

ProLogis has an unsecured credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A.
("Bank of America"), Commerzbank AG and Chase Bank of Texas, National
Association, as agents for a bank group that provides for a $550.0 million
unsecured revolving line of credit. Borrowings bear interest, at ProLogis'
option, at either (a) the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the
prime rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 1.00% based upon ProLogis' current senior debt
ratings. ProLogis' borrowings are primarily at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.00%
(6.8225% as of December 31, 1999). Additionally, the credit agreement provides
for a facility fee of 0.20% per annum. The line of credit matures on March 29,
2001 and may be extended for an additional year at ProLogis' option. As of
December 31, 1999, $45.0 million of borrowings were outstanding on the line of
credit and ProLogis was in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit
agreement.
The $550.0 million unsecured line of credit replaced ProLogis' previous
$350.0 million unsecured line of credit that was put into place in August 1998.
ProLogis' entered into the new credit agreement in March 1999 to provide for
increased borrowing capacity following the Meridian Merger. See Note 3.
As of December 31, 1998, ProLogis had an agreement that provided for a term
loan of $150.0 million. The term loan was repaid on April 26, 1999 and the
agreement was terminated. ProLogis paid interest at LIBOR plus 1.00% on the term
loan borrowings.
In addition, ProLogis has a $25.0 million unsecured discretionary line of
credit with Bank of America that matures on October 1, 2000. By agreement
between ProLogis and Bank of America, the rate of interest on and the maturity
date of each advance are determined at the time of each advance. There were no
borrowings outstanding on the line of credit as of December 31, 1999.
On December 17, 1999, ProLogis obtained a multi-currency, unsecured
revolving line of credit in the currency equivalent of 325.0 million euros (the
currency equivalent of approximately $327.3 million as of December 31, 1999)
through a group of 17 banks, on whose behalf ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. acted as agent.
The line of credit was obtained for the purpose of funding ProLogis' European
development activities. The interest rate on this multi-currency, four-year
revolving line of credit is Euribor plus 0.75% or Sterling LIBOR plus 0.75%
(borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1999 were at a weighted average
interest rate of 4.25%). As of December 31, 1999, the currency equivalent of
approximately $53.7 million of borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit

7. MINORITY INTEREST:
Minority interest represents the limited partners' interests in real estate
partnerships controlled by ProLogis. With respect to each of the partnerships
either ProLogis or a subsidiary of ProLogis is the sole general partner with all
management powers over the business and affairs of the partnership. The limited
partners of each partnership generally do not have the right to participate in
or exercise management control over the business and affairs of the partnership.
With respect to each partnership the general partner may not, without the
written consent of all of the limited partners, take any action that would
prevent such partnership from conducting its business, possess the property of
the partnership, admit an additional partner or subject a limited partner to the
liability of a general partner.
ProLogis sold its 70.0% general partnership interest in Red Mountain Joint
Venture in March 1999 and recognized a gain of $715,000. As of December 31,
1999, ProLogis is the controlling general partner in six partnerships, including
two partnerships (MDN/JSC II Limited Partnership and Meridian Realty Partners,
L.P.) acquired in the Meridian Merger (see Note 3). In each of these
partnerships, the limited partners are entitled to exchange partnership units
for Common Shares (5,055,704 on a one for one basis and 483,087 at a rate of
1.10 Common Share per partnership unit, plus $2.00). Additionally, the limited
partners are entitled to receive preferential cumulative quarterly distributions
per unit equal to the quarterly distributions in respect of Common Shares.
The six partnerships are as follows:
- ProLogis Limited Partnership-I, which owned approximately $209.6 million
of industrial distribution facilities located primarily in the San
Francisco Bay market as of December 31, 1999, was formed in December
1993. ProLogis had a 68.7% controlling general partnership interest and
there were 4,520,532 limited partnership units outstanding as of December
31, 1999. These facilities cannot be sold, prior to the occurrence of
certain events, without the consent of the limited partners thereto,
other than in tax-deferred exchanges.

increased to 88.2% (the ownership interest as of December 31, 1999) as
the result of additional contributions by ProLogis and the conversion of
limited partnership units into Common Shares. There were 376,347 limited
partnership units outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
- ProLogis Limited Partnership-IV, which owned approximately $94.8 million
of industrial distribution facilities located primarily in the
Cincinnati, Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa
markets as of December 31, 1999, was formed in October 1994 through a
cash contribution from a wholly owned subsidiary of ProLogis, ProLogis
IV, Inc., and the contribution of industrial distribution facilities from
the limited partner. ProLogis' initial 96.4% controlling general
partnership interest has been increased to 98.2% (the ownership interest
as of December 31, 1999) as the result of additional contributions by
ProLogis. There were 68,612 limited partnership units outstanding as of
December 31, 1999.
ProLogis Limited Partnership-IV and ProLogis IV, Inc. are legal entities
separate and distinct from ProLogis, its affiliates and each other, and
each has separate assets, liabilities, business functions and operations.
The sole assets of ProLogis IV, Inc. are its general partner advances to
and its interest in ProLogis Limited Partnership-IV. As of December 31,
1999, ProLogis Limited Partnership-IV had outstanding borrowings from
ProLogis IV, Inc. of $0.7 million and ProLogis IV, Inc. had outstanding
borrowings from ProLogis and its affiliates of $0.7 million.
- Meridian Realty Partners, L.P. owned a $10.3 million industrial
distribution facility located in the Los Angeles market as of December
31, 1999. ProLogis had an 88.0% controlling general partnership interest
and there were 29,712 limited partnership units outstanding as of
December 31, 1999.
- MDN/JSC II Limited Partnership owned approximately $62.1 million of
industrial distribution facilities located in the Dallas and Las Vegas
markets as of December 31, 1999. ProLogis had a 67.4% controlling general
partnership interest and there were 453,375 limited partnership units
outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of
operations and cash flows of each of the six partnerships are included in
ProLogis' consolidated financial statements, and the interests of the limited
partners are reflected as minority interest.
8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Shares Authorized
As of December 31, 1999, 275,000,000 shares were authorized (increased from
230,000,000 shares on June 24, 1999 through a shareholder-approved amendment to
ProLogis' Declaration of Trust). ProLogis' Board of Trustees (the "Board") may
increase the number of authorized shares and may classify or reclassify any
unissued shares of ProLogis stock from time to time by setting or changing the
preferences, conversion or other
82

PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as of distributions,
qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of such shares.
Preferred Shares
As of December 31, 1999, ProLogis had four series of cumulative redeemable
preferred shares of beneficial interest outstanding (Series A, C, D and E) and
one series of cumulative convertible redeemable preferred shares of beneficial
interest outstanding (Series B). Holders of each series of preferred shares
have, subject to certain conditions, limited voting rights. The holders of the
preferred shares are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends based
upon each series' respective liquidation preference. Such dividends are payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December for
all series of preferred shares, with the exception of Series E, which are
payable quarterly on the last day of January, April, July and October, when, and
if, declared by the Board, out of funds legally available for payment of
dividends. After the respective redemption dates, each series can be redeemed
for a cash redemption price which (other than the portion consisting of accrued
and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sales proceeds of other
capital shares of ProLogis, which may include shares of other series of
preferred shares. With respect to payment of dividends, each series of preferred
shares ranks on parity with ProLogis' other series of preferred shares.
The Series B preferred shares are convertible at any time, unless
previously redeemed, at the option of the holders thereof into Common Shares at
a conversion price of $19.50 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of 1.282
Common Shares for each Series B preferred share).
ProLogis' preferred shares are summarized as follows:
NUMBER OF SHARES STATED EQUIVALENT BASED OPTIONAL
OUTSTANDING AS OF LIQUIDATION DIVIDEND ON LIQUIDATION REDEMPTION
DECEMBER 31, 1999 PREFERENCE RATE PREFERENCE DATE(1)
----------------- ----------- -------- ---------------- ----------
Series A............. 5,400,000 $25.00 9.40% $2.35 per share 06/21/00
Series B(2).......... 7,020,703 $25.00 7.00% $1.75 per share 02/21/01

Series E............. 2,000,000 $25.00 8.75% $2.19 per share 06/30/03
- ---------------
(1) After this date, the preferred shares can be redeemed at ProLogis' option.
(2) During 1999 and 1998, Series B preferred shares of 516,897 and 462,700,
respectively, were converted into 662,661 and 593,181 Common Shares,
respectively.
Issuance of Common Shares
The purchase agreement of ProLogis Kingspark contained a provision that
allowed for additional contingent consideration, to be settled by the issuance
of Common Shares, upon the achievement of a specified level of earnings by
ProLogis Kingspark. The conditions precedent to the issuance of the Common
Shares were met in 1999. ProLogis recognized a liability of $3.9 million related
to the additional purchase price as of December 31, 1999. In settlement of this
liability, 200,535 Common Shares were issued in February 2000.
Shelf Registration
In June 1999, ProLogis filed a $500.0 million shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission supplementing its existing shelf
registration. The shelf registration allows ProLogis to issue securities in the
form of debt securities, preferred shares, Common Shares, rights to purchase
Common Shares and preferred share purchase rights on an as-needed basis. As of
December 31, 1999, ProLogis had
83
86
PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
$608.0 million of shelf-registered securities available for issuance, subject to
ProLogis' ability to effect an offering on satisfactory terms.
Ownership Restrictions and Significant Shareholder
For ProLogis to qualify as a REIT under the Code, not more than 50% in
value of its outstanding shares of stock may be owned by five or fewer
individuals at any time during the last half of ProLogis' taxable year.
Therefore, ProLogis' Declaration of Trust restricts beneficial ownership (or
ownership generally attributed to a person under the REIT tax rules) of
ProLogis' outstanding shares by a single person, or persons acting as a group,
to 9.8% of ProLogis' outstanding shares. This provision assists ProLogis in
protecting and preserving its REIT status and protects the interest of
shareholders in takeover transactions by preventing the acquisition of a
substantial block of shares.
Shares owned by a person or group of persons in excess of these limits are
subject to redemption by ProLogis. The provision does not apply where a majority
of the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, waives such limit after
determining that the status of ProLogis as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes will not be jeopardized or the disqualification of ProLogis as a REIT
is advantageous to the shareholders.
Security Capital is exempt from the ownership restrictions described above.
Security Capital owned 30.8% of the outstanding Common Shares as of December 31,
1999. For tax purposes, Security Capital's ownership is attributed to its
shareholders.
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
In March 1995, ProLogis adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase
Plan (the "1995 Plan"), which commenced in April 1995. The 1995 Plan allowed
holders of Common Shares the opportunity to acquire additional Common Shares by
automatically reinvesting distributions. Holders of Common Shares who do not
participate in the 1995 Plan continue to receive distributions as declared. The
1995 Plan also allowed participating holders of Common Shares to purchase a
limited number of additional Common Shares by making optional cash payments,
without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. Common Shares are
acquired pursuant to the 1995 Plan at a price equal to 98% of the market price
of such Common Shares, without payment of any brokerage commission or service
charge.
The 1995 Plan was amended in June 1999 by the 1999 Dividend Reinvestment
and Share Purchase Plan (the "1999 Plan"). The primary change effective with the
1999 Plan allows persons who are not holders of Common Shares to participate in
the share purchase plan.
Shareholder Purchase Rights
On December 7, 1993, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right ("Right") for each outstanding Common Share to be distributed to
all holders of record of the Common Shares on December 31, 1993. Each Right
entitles the registered holder to purchase one-hundredth of a Participating
Preferred Share for an exercise price of $40.00 per one-hundredth of a
Participating Preferred Share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights
Agreement. The Rights will generally be exercisable only if a person or group
(other than certain affiliates of ProLogis) acquires 20% or more of the Common
Shares or announces a tender offer for 25% or more of the Common Shares. Under
certain circumstances, upon a shareholder acquisition of 20% or more of the
Common Shares (other than certain affiliates of ProLogis), each Right will
entitle the holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, a
number of Common Shares having a market value of twice the Right's exercise
price. The acquisition of ProLogis pursuant to certain mergers or other business
transactions will entitle each holder of a Right to purchase, at the Right's
then-current exercise price, a number of the acquiring company's common shares
having a market value at that time equal to twice the Right's exercise price.
The Rights held by certain 20% shareholders will not be exercisable. The Rights
will expire on
84
87
PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
December 7, 2003, unless the expiration date of the Rights is extended, and the
Rights are subject to redemption at a price of $0.01 per Right under certain
circumstances.
9. DISTRIBUTIONS AND DIVIDENDS:
Common Distributions
ProLogis' annual distribution per Common Share was $1.30 in 1999, $1.24 in
1998 and $1.07 in 1997. For Federal income tax purposes, the following
summarizes the taxability of cash distributions paid on Common Shares in 1998
and 1997 and the estimated taxability for 1999:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
------------------------
1999 1998 1997
------ ------ ------
Per Common Share:
Ordinary income........................................... $0.84 $1.12 $1.07
Capital gains............................................. 0.35 -- --
Return of capital......................................... 0.11 0.12 --
----- ----- -----
Total............................................. $1.30 $1.24 $1.07
===== ===== =====
The distribution level for 2000 was set at $1.34 per Common Share by the
Board in December 1999. Additionally, on December 16, 1999, ProLogis declared a
distribution of $0.335 per Common Share payable on February 23, 2000 to
shareholders of record as of February 9, 2000.
On May 3, 1999, ProLogis paid a common distribution to holders of Meridian
common stock as of March 19, 1999. This distribution, which was declared by the
Meridian Board of Directors prior to the closing of the Meridian Merger, related
to the first quarter of 1999 and aggregated $11.1 million. This liability was
assumed by ProLogis in connection with the Meridian Merger. See Note 3.
In connection with the 1997 Merger discussed in Note 10, Security Capital
issued warrants to acquire 3,608,202 shares of Class B common stock of Security
Capital pro rata to holders of Common Shares (other than Security Capital),
Series B preferred shares and limited partnership units. Holders of Common
Shares and holders of limited partnership units received 0.046549 warrants for
each Common Share or unit held and holders of Series B preferred shares received
0.059676 warrants for each preferred share held. Each warrant was exercisable
into one share of Security Capital Class B common stock at an exercise price of
$28.00 per share. The warrants expired in September 1998. Security Capital
issued the warrants as an incentive to ProLogis' shareholders to vote in favor
of the 1997 Merger and to raise additional equity capital at a relatively low
cost, in addition to other benefits.
Preferred Dividends
The annual dividends per preferred share are as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
---------------------------------
1999(1) 1998(2) 1997(2)
------- ------- -------
Series A.............................................. $2.35 $2.35 $2.35
Series B.............................................. 1.75 1.75 1.75

(1) For federal income tax purposes $1.65 of the Series A dividend, $1.23 of the
Series B dividend, $3.00 of the Series C dividend, $1.39 of the Series D
dividend and $1.15 of the Series E dividend are treated as ordinary income
to the holders. The remaining portion of each dividend represents capital
gains.
(2) For federal income tax purposes these dividends are treated as ordinary
income to the holders.
(3) For the period from date of issuance to December 31, 1998.
(4) For the period from date of issuance to December 31, 1999.
On April 30, 1999, ProLogis paid an aggregate dividend of $1.1 million on
the Series E preferred shares ($0.5469 per share), of which $729,200 related to
Meridian's series D preferred stock that was accrued by Meridian prior to the
closing of the Meridian Merger. See Note 3.
Pursuant to the terms of its preferred shares, ProLogis is restricted from
declaring or paying any distribution with respect to the Common Shares unless
all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred shares have been paid and
sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for
the then-current dividend period with respect to the preferred shares.
ProLogis' tax return for the year ended December 31, 1999 has not been
filed. The taxability information for 1999 is based upon the best available
data. ProLogis' tax returns have not been examined by the Internal Revenue
Service. Consequently, the taxability of distributions and dividends is subject
to change.
10. 1997 MERGER TRANSACTION:
On September 8, 1997, ProLogis' shareholders approved an agreement with
Security Capital to exchange Security Capital's REIT management and property
management companies for 3,692,023 Common Shares (the "1997 Merger"). As a
result, ProLogis became an internally managed REIT on September 9, 1997 with
Security Capital remaining as ProLogis' largest shareholder. The $81.9 million
value of the management companies was approved by the independent members of the
Board and a fairness opinion was obtained from a third party financial advisor.
The number of Common Shares issued to Security Capital was based on the average
market price of the Common Shares ($22.175) over the five-day period prior to
the August 6, 1997 record date for determining the ProLogis shareholders
entitled to vote on the 1997 Merger. The market value of the Common Shares
issued to Security Capital on September 9, 1997 was $79.8 million, of which $4.4
million was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired and the $75.4 million
difference was accounted for as the cost incurred in acquiring the management
companies. Because the management companies did not have significant operations
other than the management of ProLogis and ProLogis' assets, the transaction did
not qualify as the acquisition of a business for purposes of applying APB
Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations". Consequently, the market value of the
Common Shares issued in excess of the fair value of the net tangible assets
acquired was charged to operating income rather than capitalized as goodwill.
As a result of the 1997 Merger, ProLogis terminated the REIT management and
property management agreements that were in place while Security Capital owned
the management companies. All employees of the management companies became
employees of ProLogis and ProLogis directly incurs the personnel and other costs
related to these functions. The costs relating to property management are
recorded as rental expenses whereas the costs associated with managing the
corporate entity are recorded as general and administrative expenses.

13. LONG-TERM COMPENSATION
Long-Term Incentive Plan and Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees
ProLogis has a long-term incentive plan (the "Incentive Plan"), which
includes an employee share purchase plan, a stock option plan, a restricted
share unit plan and a performance share plan. No more than 9,410,000 Common
Shares in the aggregate may be awarded under the Incentive Plan and no
individual may be granted awards with respect to more than 500,000 Common Shares
in any one-year period. The Incentive Plan has a ten-year term. Additionally,
ProLogis has 100,000 Common Shares authorized for issuance under its Share
Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the "Outside Trustees Plan").
Employee Share Purchase Plan
Under the employee share purchase plan certain employees of ProLogis
purchased 1,356,834 Common Shares on September 8, 1997 at a price of $21.21875
per share. ProLogis financed 95% of the total purchase price through ten-year,
recourse notes to the participants aggregating $27.3 million. The loans, which
have been recognized as a deduction from shareholders' equity, bear interest at
the lower of ProLogis' annual dividend yield on Common Shares or 6% per annum.
The loans are secured by the Common Shares purchased. For each Common Share
purchased, participants were granted two options to purchase Common Shares at a
price of $21.21875. As of December 31, 1999, there were 1,154,349 Common Shares
securing the employee share purchase notes.
The outstanding notes receivable at December 31, 1999 of $22,906,000
include $20,277,000 due from officers of ProLogis.

ProLogis did not recognize compensation expense in 1999, 1998 or 1997
related to stock options granted as the exercise price of all options granted
was equal to the average of the high and low market price on the date of grant.
Had compensation expense for these plans been determined using an option
valuation model as provided in SFAS No. 123, ProLogis net earnings attributable
to Common Shares and net earnings per Common Share would change as follows:

representative of that to be expected in future years.

Dividend Equivalent Units ("DEUs")
DEUs in the form of Common Shares are awarded at a rate of one Common Share
per DEU on December 31st of each year the stock options are outstanding and are
vested to the same extent the underlying stock options are vested. The DEUs are
valued on the award date based upon the market price of the Common Shares on
that date and ProLogis recognizes that value as compensation expense over the
underlying vesting period of the related stock options. As of December 31, 1999,
there were 171,677 DEUs outstanding. ProLogis recognized compensation expense
related to the DEUs of $103,000 and $5,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, net
of amounts capitalized. ProLogis did not incur compensation expense related to
the DEUs in 1997 as the DEUs were awarded on December 31, 1997.
Restricted Share Units
On October 15, 1998, the Board granted 377,500 restricted share units
("RSU") to twelve officers of ProLogis. The RSUs vest 25% per year beginning
December 31, 1999 through December 31, 2002 and earn DEUs in accordance with the
DEU awards under the Incentive Plan. The RSUs are valued on the award date based
upon the market price of Common Shares on that date and ProLogis recognizes that
value as compensation expense over the underlying vesting period. The RSUs
granted in 1998 were valued at $8.0 million, of which ProLogis recognized $1.6
million and $0.3 million of compensation expense in 1999 and 1998, respectively,
net of amounts capitalized.

Performance Share Plan
In September 1999, the Board approved a performance share plan whereby
certain employees can be awarded Common Shares if performance criteria is met.
Common Shares will be awarded on December 31, 2000 based upon the criteria set
for 2000, but will not vest to the employee until December 31, 2002.
401(k) Savings Plan and Trust
ProLogis has a 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust ("401(k) Plan"), that provides
for matching employer contributions in Common Shares of 50 cents for every
dollar contributed by an employee, up to 6% of the employees' annual
compensation (within the statutory compensation limit). The vesting of
contributed Common Shares is based on the employees' years of service, with 20%
vesting each year of service, over a five-year period. Through December 31,
1999, no Common Shares have been issued under the 401(k) Plan as all matching
contributions have been made with Common Shares purchased in the public market.
A total of 190,000 Common Shares have been authorized for issuance under the
401(k) Plan.
Nonqualified Savings Plan
Effective January 1, 1998, ProLogis established the Nonqualified Savings
Plan to provide benefits for a select group of management. The purpose of this
plan is to allow highly compensated employees the opportunity to defer the
receipt and income taxation of a certain portion of their compensation in excess
of the amount permitted under the 401(k) Plan. ProLogis will match the lesser of
(a) 50% of the sum of deferrals under both the 401(k) Plan and this plan, and
(b) 3% of total compensation up to certain levels. The matching account will
vest in the same manner as the 401(k) Plan.
Warrants
During 1998, warrants were exercised into 11,764 Common Shares at an
exercise price of $10.00. There were no outstanding warrants as of December 31,
1999.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
ProLogis leases space to Security Capital and certain of its affiliates on
market terms that management believes are no less favorable to ProLogis than
those that could be obtained with unaffiliated third parties.
ProLogis' rental income related to these leases were $756,000, $717,000 and
$1,528,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
As of December 31, 1999, 109,804 square feet were leased to related parties. The
annualized rental revenues for these leases are $746,000.
On September 8, 1997, ProLogis and Security Capital entered into an
administrative services agreement (the "ASA"). Under the ASA, Security Capital
provides ProLogis with certain administrative and other services as
92

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
determined by ProLogis (certain services originally provided under the ASA are
now being performed by ProLogis employees). ProLogis' fees under the ASA were
$3.4 million, $3.7 million and $1.1 million for 1999, 1998 and for the period
from September 9, 1997 to December 31, 1997, respectively. Of these fees, $0.6
million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million were capitalized in 1999, 1998 and for
the period from September 9, 1997 to December 31, 1997, respectively. ProLogis
recognizes the ASA fees related to property management activities as a component
of rental expenses. The ASA expires on December 31, 2000.
During 1999, ProLogis paid investment advisory fees to Security Capital
Markets Group Incorporated, a registered broker-dealer subsidiary of Security
Capital, aggregating $15.6 million. The fees were incurred in connection with
the Meridian Merger ($1.54 billion purchase price -- see Note 3), the formation
of ProLogis California which generated $148.2 million of outside equity capital
to ProLogis (see Note 5) and the formation of the ProLogis European Properties
Fund (the currency equivalent as of December 31, 1999 of over $1 billion of
third party capital invested or committed -- see Note 5).
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following estimates of the fair value of financial instruments have
been determined by ProLogis using available market information and valuation
methodologies believed to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable
judgement and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these
estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts
ProLogis would realize upon disposition.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the carrying amounts of certain financial
instruments employed by ProLogis, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their
fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Similarly,
the carrying values of the lines of credit and short-term borrowings balances
approximate fair value as of those dates since the interest rate fluctuates
based on published market rates. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fair
values of the senior unsecured debt and the secured debt (including mortgage
notes, assessment bonds and securitized debt) have been estimated based upon
quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or by discounting the future
cash flows using rates currently available for debt with similar terms and
maturities. The differences in the fair value of ProLogis' senior unsecured debt
and secured debt from the carrying value in the table below are the result of
variances in the interest rates available to ProLogis as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, from the interest rates in effect at the dates of issuance. The senior
unsecured debt and many of the secured debt issues contain pre-payment penalties
or yield maintenance provisions which would make the cost of refinancing exceed
the benefit of refinancing at the lower rates.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fair value of ProLogis' derivative
financial instruments are the amounts at which they could be settled, based on
quoted market prices or estimates obtained from brokers or dealers.

Derivative Financial Instruments
ProLogis uses derivative financial instruments as hedges to manage
well-defined risk associated with interest and foreign currency rate
fluctuations on existing or anticipated obligations and transactions. ProLogis
does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market risk
and credit risk. Market risk is defined as the potential for loss in the value
of the derivative due to adverse changes in market prices (interest rates or
foreign currency rates). The use of derivative financial instruments allows
ProLogis to manage the risks of increases in interest rates and fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the effects these fluctuations
would have on ProLogis' income and cash flows.
Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract
fails to perform or meet their financial obligation under the contract. ProLogis
does not obtain collateral to support financial instruments subject to credit
risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties. ProLogis does not
anticipate non-performance by any of the counterparties to its derivative
contracts. Should a counterparty fail to perform, however, ProLogis would incur
a financial loss to the extent of the positive fair market value of the
derivative instruments, if any.
The following table summarizes the activity in derivative financial
instruments for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 (in millions):

(1) ProLogis entered into foreign currency put option contracts during 1999
related to its operations in Europe. The notional amount as of December 31,
1999 represents the U.S. dollar equivalent related to the put option
contracts with notional amounts of 23.0 million euros. The outstanding
contracts do not qualify for hedge
94

PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
accounting treatment and were marked to market as of December 31, 1999.
ProLogis recognized an aggregate expense of $92,000 on the put option
contracts including the mark to market adjustment of $47,000. The put option
contracts provide ProLogis with the option to exchange euros for U.S.
dollars at a fixed exchange rate such that if the euro were to depreciate
against the U.S. dollar to predetermined levels as set by the contracts,
ProLogis could exercise its options and mitigate its foreign currency
exchange losses.
(2) In October 1997, in anticipation of debt offerings in 1998, ProLogis entered
into two interest rate protection agreements which were renewed past the
original termination dates. These agreements were entered into by ProLogis
to fix the interest rate on anticipated financings.
During the third quarter of 1998, ProLogis determined that the interest rate
protection agreements would no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment
under GAAP based upon the following:
- Due to changing conditions in the public debt markets, it was no
longer considered probable that ProLogis would complete the
anticipated 1998 longer term debt offerings that prompted ProLogis to
enter into these interest rate protection agreements in 1997 (i.e.,
ProLogis would not be exposed to the interest rate risk that these
instruments were intended to hedge); and
- ProLogis determined, through internal analysis and through
communications with independent third parties, that a high degree of
correlation no longer existed between changes in the market values of
these interest rate protection agreements and the "market values" of
the anticipated debt offerings (i.e., the interest rate at which the
debt could be issued by ProLogis under existing market conditions).
Accordingly, ProLogis began marking these agreements to market as of
September 30, 1998. For 1998, ProLogis recognized a non-cash expense
of $26.1 million. These agreements were terminated in February 1999 at
a cost of $27.0 million and were used to set the interest rate
associated with the $200.0 million secured financing transaction with
MGT that was completed in March 1999.
(3) ProLogis has interest rate swap agreements related to variable rate mortgage
notes and other unsecured debt in the currency equivalent of approximately
$169.9 million as of December 31, 1999. The swap agreements have a combined
notional amount of 1.1 billion French francs and fix the Euribor rate at
3.62% through December 2003 on a notional amount in the currency equivalent
of approximately $30.9 million, at 3.60% through January 2004 on a notional
amount in the currency equivalent of approximately $118.9 million and at
3.59% through January 2004 on a notional amount in the currency equivalent
of approximately $20.1 million. In December 1999, a principal paydown was
made on the underlying debt resulting in a notional amount of the swap
agreements in excess of the principal balances. Consequently, swap
agreements with a notional amount in the currency equivalent of
approximately $26.2 million were cancelled in January 2000 at a gain to
ProLogis in the currency equivalent of approximately $1.4 million. ProLogis
contributed 50.1% of the common stock of the wholly owned entity that holds
the debt related to the swap agreements to the ProLogis European Properties
Fund on January 7, 2000. ProLogis is committed to contributing the remaining
49.9% of the common stock to the ProLogis European Properties Fund in
January 2001. See Note 5.
On December 22, 1997, ProLogis entered into two separate contracts to (i)
exchange $373.8 million for 2.9 billion Swedish krona, and (ii) exchange 310.0
million German marks for $175.0 million in anticipation of the January 1998
acquisition and planned European currency denominated financing of Frigoscandia
AB by Frigoscandia S.A., ProLogis' unconsolidated entity. The contracts were
marked to market as of December 31, 1997 and ProLogis recognized a net loss of
$6.0 million in 1997. Both contracts were settled during the first quarter of
1998 at a net loss of $4.0 million. Accordingly, ProLogis recognized a net gain
of $2.0 million in 1998. These foreign currency exchange hedges were one-time,
non-recurring contracts that fixed the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and
the Swedish krona and German mark. ProLogis executed these hedges after the
95
98
PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
execution of the purchase agreement to acquire Frigoscandia AB, which required
payment in Swedish krona. The contracts were executed exclusively for the
acquisition and financing of Frigoscandia AB and were not entered into to hedge
on-going income in foreign currencies.
17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Environmental Matters
All of the facilities acquired by ProLogis have been subjected to
environmental reviews by ProLogis or predecessor owners. While some of these
assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of the
environmental assessments has revealed, nor is ProLogis aware of any
environmental liability (including asbestos related liability) that ProLogis
believes would have a material adverse effect on ProLogis' business, financial
condition or results of operations.
18. BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
ProLogis has three reportable business segments:
- Property operations represents the long-term ownership and leasing of
industrial distribution facilities in North America (a portion of which
is owned through ProLogis California -- See Note 5) and Europe (a portion
of which is owned through Garonor Holdings, a subsidiary that was
recognized under the equity method of accounting until June 29, 1999 and
a portion of which is owned through the ProLogis European Properties
Fund -- See Note 5); each operating facility is considered to be an
individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics
which are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic
location;
- Corporate distribution facilities services business represents the
development of distribution facilities for future sale to third parties
or entities in which ProLogis has an ownership interest or on a fee basis
for third parties in North America and in Europe (a portion of which is
owned through Kingspark S.A.); the development activities of ProLogis and
Kingspark S.A. are considered to be individual operating segments having
similar economic characteristics which are combined within the reportable
segment based upon geographic location; and
- Temperature-controlled distribution operations represents the operation
of a temperature-controlled distribution and logistics network through
investments in unconsolidated entities in North America (ProLogis
Logistics and MRI) and Europe (Frigoscandia S.A.); each company's
operating facilities are considered to be individual operating segments
having similar economic characteristics which are combined within the
reportable segment based upon geographic location.
Reconciliations of the three reportable segments': (i) income from external
customers to ProLogis' total income; (ii) net operating income from external
customers to ProLogis' earnings from operations (ProLogis' chief operating
decision makers rely primarily on net operating income to make decisions about
allocating resources and assessing segment performance); and (iii) assets to
ProLogis' total assets are as follows (in thousands):
