General [Abstract]
General	1. General Business. Prologis, Inc. (the “REIT”) commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in 1997, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and believe the current organization and method of operation will enable the REIT to maintain its status. The REIT is the general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Through our controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, we are engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in global, regional and other distribution markets throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Our current business strategy includes two reportable business segments: direct owned and private capital. Our direct owned segment represents the direct long-term ownership of industrial properties. Our private capital segment represents the long-term management of property funds and other unconsolidated investees, and the properties they own. See Note 10 for further discussion of our business segments. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the REIT and the Operating Partnership. The terms “the Company”, “Prologis”, “we”, “our” or “us” means The REIT and Operating Partnership collectively. As of June 30, 2011, the REIT owned an approximate 99.55% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, and 100% of the preferred units. The remaining approximate 0.45% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the REIT. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the REIT has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. We operate the REIT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the REIT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the REIT and employees of the Operating Partnership. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the REIT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the REIT does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the REIT and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. On June 3, 2011, AMB Property Corporation (“AMB”) and AMB Property, LP completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger with ProLogis, a Maryland real estate investment trust and its subsidiaries (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, AMB changed its name to Prologis, Inc. As a result of the Merger, each outstanding common share of beneficial interest of ProLogis was converted into 0.4464 of a newly issued share of common stock of the REIT. As further discussed in Note 2, ProLogis was the accounting acquirer. As such, in the Consolidated Financial Statements the historical results of ProLogis are included for the entire period presented and AMB's results are included subsequent to the Merger. See Note 2 for further discussion on the Merger. Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented in the U.S. dollar, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. Our management believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for both the REIT and the Operating Partnership for the reported periods have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements of ProLogis and AMB, as previously filed with the SEC on Form 10-K and other public information. Certain amounts included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 financial statement presentation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to amend the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to achieve further convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments will be effective for us on January 1, 2012 and we are currently evaluating the impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2010, the FASB updated the accounting standard related to business combinations that requires public entities to disclose certain pro forma information about revenues and earnings of the combined entity within the notes to the financial statements. As a result of the Merger and consolidation of Prologis European Properties (“PEPR”) as described in Note 2, we are required to present pro forma information as if the business combinations occurred at the beginning of the prior annual reporting period for purposes of calculating both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period pro forma financial information. The disclosure requirements were effective for business combinations with effective dates beginning January 1, 2011. See Note 2 for our pro forma disclosures. In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that expands existing disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. We adopted the expanded disclosure requirements for ending balances applicable to our Notes Receivable Backed by Real Estate as of December 31, 2010. Disclosures regarding activity that occurs during the reporting period were effective beginning January 1, 2011. See Note 5 for disclosure of this activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011. In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that requires disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Level 3 disclosure requirements were effective for us on January 1, 2011. Since we do not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value using Level 3 valuation techniques and inputs on a recurring basis, the adoption of this standard was not considered material.
