(unaudited)
 
1.   Organization and Formation of the Company
 
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of its initial public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Company, through its controlling interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. The Company uses the terms “industrial properties” or “industrial buildings” to describe various types of industrial properties in its portfolio and uses these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput Distribution® (HTD®) facilities; or any combination of these terms. The Company uses the term “owned and managed” to describe assets in which it has at least a 10% ownership interest, for which it is the property or asset manager, and which it intends to hold for the long-term. Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Company owned an approximate 95.8% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 4.2% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred unit distributions based on the respective partners’ ownership interests. Certain properties are owned by the Company through limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities. The ownership of such properties through such entities does not materially affect the Company’s overall ownership interests in the properties.
 
Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide the Company with an additional source of capital and income. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had investments in five consolidated and five unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. Effective October 1, 2006, the Company deconsolidated AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended co-investment partnership formed in 2004 with institutional investors, on a prospective basis, due to the re-evaluation of the Company’s accounting for its investment in the fund in light of changes to the partnership agreement regarding the general partner’s rights effective October 1, 2006.
 
AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AMB Capital Partners”), provides real estate investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that include development projects available for sale or contribution to third parties and incremental income programs. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that also includes development projects available for sale or contribution to third parties. AMB Capital Partners, Headlands Realty Corporation and IMD Holding Corporation are direct subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Company owned or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 136.7 million square feet (12.7 million square meters) in 1,152 buildings in 44 markets within thirteen countries. Additionally, as of June 30, 2007, the Company managed, but did not have a significant ownership interest in, industrial and other properties, totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet.

2.   Interim Financial Statements
 
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of future results. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investments in Real Estate.  Investments in real estate and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to its estimated fair value. The Company also regularly reviews the impact of above or below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs for acquisitions, and records an intangible asset or liability accordingly. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings. As a result of leasing activity and the economic environment, the Company re-evaluated the carrying value of its investments and recorded an impairment charge on one of its investments of $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Reclassifications.  Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.
 
Comprehensive Income.  The Company reports comprehensive income in its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income was $114.7 million and $77.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Comprehensive income was $140.7 million and $104.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
International Operations.  The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. Other than Mexico, the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity is located, mitigating the effect of currency exchange gains and losses. The Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. The Company translates income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. These gains (losses) are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
 
The Company’s international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. These gains (losses) are included in the Company’s results of operations.
 
The Company also records gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets.  The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions. As prescribed in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) goodwill and certain indefinite lived intangible assets, including excess reorganization value and certain trademarks, are no longer amortized, but are subject to at least annual impairment testing. The Company tests annually (or more often, if necessary) for impairment under SFAS No. 142. The Company determined that there was no impairment to goodwill and intangible assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements.  In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. Adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
The tax years 2002 through 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
 
3.   Real Estate Acquisition and Development Activity
 
Acquisition Activity.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, on an owned and managed basis, the Company acquired 23 industrial properties, aggregating approximately 5.4 million square feet for a total expected investment of $494.6 million (includes acquisition costs of $487.6 million and estimated acquisition capital of $7.0 million).

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the total gross investment book value of those properties securing the debt was $2.3 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, including $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, in consolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2007, $1.1 billion of the secured debt obligations bore interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3% while the remaining $228.7 million bore interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 5.3%).
 
On December 8, 2006, the Operating Partnership executed a 228.0 million Euros facility agreement (approximately $308.5 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2007), which provides that certain of the Company’s affiliates may borrow either acquisition loans, up to a 100.0 million Euros sub-limit (approximately $135.4 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2007), or secured term loans, in connection with properties located in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy or Spain. On March 21, 2007, the Operating Partnership increased the facility amount limit from 228.0 million Euros to 328.0 million Euros (approximately $436.3 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2007). Drawings under the term facility bear interest at a rate of 65 basis points over EURIBOR and may occur until, and mature on, April 30, 2014. Drawings under the acquisition loan facility bear interest at a rate of 75 basis points over EURIBOR and are repayable within six months of the date of advance, unless extended. The Operating Partnership initially guaranteed the acquisition loan facility and was the carve-out indemnitor in respect of the term loans. According to the facility agreement, these responsibilities will be transferred upon the occurrence of certain events, and the Operating Partnership will be fully discharged from all such obligations upon such transfer. On June 12, 2007, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, assumed, and the Operating Partnership was released from, all of the

Operating Partnership’s obligations and liabilities under the facility agreement. On June 12, 2007, there were 200.7 million Euros (approximately $271.8 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2007) of term loans and no acquisition loans outstanding under the facility agreement.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.1 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% and had an average term of 4.5 years. These unsecured senior debt securities include $300.0 million in notes issued in June 1998, $205.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnership’s 2000 medium-term note program, $275.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnership’s 2002 medium-term note program, $175.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnership’s 2006 medium-term note program and approximately $112.5 million of 5.094% Notes Due 2015, which were issued to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America on July 11, 2005 in a private placement, in exchange for the cancelled $100.0 million of notes that were issued in June 1998, resulting in a discount of approximately $12.5 million. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. The Company guarantees the Operating Partnership’s obligations with respect to its unsecured senior debt securities. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants as of June 30, 2007.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $85.1 million outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.4% and had an average term of 5.0 years. Other debt includes a $65.0 million non-recourse credit facility obtained by AMB Partners II, L.P., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, which had a $65.0 million balance outstanding as of June 30, 2007. The Company also had $20.1 million outstanding in other non-recourse debt.
 
The Operating Partnership has a $550.0 million (includes Euros, Yen, British Pounds Sterling or U.S. dollar denominated borrowings) unsecured revolving credit facility which matures on June 1, 2010. The Company is a guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The line carries a one-year extension option and can be increased to up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt rating, which was 42.5 basis points as of June 30, 2007, with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Euros, Yen or British Pounds Sterling. The Operating Partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2007, was $43.4 million and the remaining amount available was $489.3 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $17.3 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including compliance with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at June 30, 2007.
 
AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, has a Yen-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing limit of 45.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2007, equaled approximately $365.3 million U.S. dollars. On June 15, 2007, AMB Japan Finance Y.K. exercised an existing accordion feature to increase this unsecured revolving credit facility to 55.0 billion Yen, which using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2007, equaled approximately $446.5 million U.S. dollars. The Company, along with the Operating Partnership, guarantees the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the Operating Partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility with certain real estate

assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The credit facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option. The extension option is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt and was 42.5 basis points as of June 30, 2007. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt, and was 15 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2007, was $360.4 million in U.S. dollars. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company, the Operating Partnership and AMB Japan Finance Y.K. were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at June 30, 2007.
 
The Operating Partnership also has a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company along with the Operating Partnership guarantee the obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the Operating Partnership that are selected by the Operating Partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to their credit facility. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. The line, which matures in February 2010 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased to up to $350.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt, which was 60 basis points as of June 30, 2007, with an annual facility fee based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and general working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility was approximately $158.3 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios by the Operating Partnership, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at June 30, 2007.
 
On February 14, 2007, seven subsidiaries of AMB-SGP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement for a $305 million secured financing. On the same day, pursuant to the loan agreement, the same seven subsidiaries delivered four promissory notes to the two lenders, each of which matures on March 5, 2012. One note has a principal of $160 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%. The second note has an initial principal borrowing of $40 million with a variable interest rate of 81 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate. The third note has an initial principal borrowing of $84 million and a fixed interest rate of 5.90%. The fourth note has an initial principal borrowing of $21 million and bears interest at a variable rate of 135 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate.

6.   Minority Interests
 
Minority interests in the Company represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, limited partnership interests in AMB Property II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and interests held by certain third parties in several real estate joint ventures, aggregating approximately 35.6 million square feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments are consolidated because the Company exercises significant rights over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. These joint venture investments do not meet the variable interest entity criteria under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
 
Effective October 1, 2006, the Company deconsolidated AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended co-investment partnership formed in 2004 with institutional investors, on a prospective basis, due to the re-evaluation of the Company’s accounting for its investment in the fund in light of changes to the partnership agreement regarding the general partner’s rights effective October 1, 2006.
 
Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. The Company’s co-investment joint ventures are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management and, in some cases, the renovation, expansion and development of industrial buildings in target markets in North America.

The Company has consolidated joint ventures that have finite lives under the terms of the partnership agreements. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the aggregate book value of the joint venture minority interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was approximately $535.3 million and $555.2 million, respectively, and the Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests was approximately $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. However, there can be no assurance that the aggregate settlement value of the interests will be as such. The aggregate settlement value is based on the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds that the Company would distribute to its joint venture partners upon dissolution, as required under the terms of the respective joint venture agreements. There can be no assurance that the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds that the Company distributes upon dissolution will be the same as the actual liquidation values of such assets, liabilities and proceeds distributed upon dissolution. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures will affect the Company’s estimate of the aggregate settlement value. The joint venture agreements do not limit the amount to which the minority joint venture partners would be entitled in the event of liquidation of the assets and liabilities and dissolution of the respective joint ventures.
 
On April 17, 2007, the Operating Partnership redeemed all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single institutional investor and all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from another single institutional investor. The Operating Partnership redeemed the Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units for $40.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid distributions through April 16, 2007. The Operating Partnership redeemed the Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units for $40.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid distributions through April 16, 2007. Also, on April 17, 2007, another of the Company’s subsidiaries, AMB Property II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, repurchased all 510,000 of its outstanding

8.   Stockholders’ Equity
 
Holders of common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership and class B common limited partnership units of AMB Property II, L.P. have the right, commencing generally on or after the first anniversary of the holder becoming a limited partner of the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., as applicable (or such other date agreed to by the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P. and the applicable unit holders), to require the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., as applicable, to redeem part or all of their common units or class B common limited partnership units, as applicable, for cash (based upon the fair market value, as defined in the applicable partnership agreement, of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company at the time of redemption) or the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P. may, in its respective sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limits on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the Company’s charter), elect to have the Company exchange those common units or class B common limited partnership units, as applicable, for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of certain rights, certain extraordinary distributions and similar events. With each redemption or exchange of the Operating Partnership’s common units, the Company’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. Common limited partners and class B common limited partners may exercise this redemption right from time to time, in whole or in part, subject to certain limitations. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership redeemed 306,882 of its common limited partnership units for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued approximately 8.4 million shares of its common stock for net proceeds of approximately $472.1 million, which proceeds were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for the issuance of approximately 8.4 million general partnership units.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and, over the long term, to expand its global development business.
 
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock for issuance, of which the following series were designated as of June 30, 2007: 1,595,337 shares of series D cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series L cumulative redeemable preferred, of which 2,000,000 are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series M cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; 3,000,000 shares of series O cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; and 2,000,000 shares of series P cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding.

On May 10, 2007 at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, which reserved for issuance under the plan an additional 7.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. With the inclusion of these shares, the Company’s stock incentive plans have approximately 10.2 million shares of common stock still available for issuance as either stock options or restricted stock grants, of which 9.5 million are eligible to be used for new grants. The fair value of each option grant was generally estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and forfeitures within the valuation model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The fair values of grants issued during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, were $10.15 and $8.54, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock awards calculated as of the grant dates of the awards and issued during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, were $58.77 and $50.50, respectively. The following

10.   Segment Information
 
The Company has two lines of business, real estate operations and private capital. Real estate operations is comprised of various segments while private capital consists of a single segment, on which the Company evaluates its performance:
 
  •  Real Estate Operations.  The Company operates industrial properties and manages its business by geographic markets. Such industrial properties typically comprise multiple distribution warehouse facilities suitable for single or multiple customers who are engaged in various types of businesses. The geographic markets where the Company owns industrial properties are managed separately because it believes each market has its own economic characteristics and requires its own operating, pricing and leasing strategies. Each market is considered to be an individual operating segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating income of the combined properties in each segment, which are listed below. In addition, the Company’s development business is included under real estate operations. It primarily consists of the Company’s development of real estate properties that are subsequently contributed to a joint venture fund in which the Company has an ownership interest in and acts as manager for, or that are sold to third parties. The Company evaluates performance of the development business by reported operating segment based upon gains generated from the disposition and/or contribution of real estate. The assets of the development business generally include properties under development and land held for development. During the period between the completion of development of a property and the date the property is contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture or sold to a third party, the property and its associated rental income and property operating costs are included in the real estate operations segment because the primary activity associated with the property during that period is leasing. Upon contribution or sale, the resulting gain or loss is included as gains from dispositions of real estate interests or development profits, as appropriate.
 
  •  Private Capital.  The Company, through its private capital group, AMB Capital Partners, LLC, provides real estate investment, portfolio management and reporting services to co-investment joint ventures and clients. The private capital income earned consists of acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, and promoted interests and incentive distributions from the Company’s co-investment joint ventures and AMB Capital Partners’ clients. With respect to the Company’s U.S. and Mexico funds and joint ventures, the Company typically earns a 90 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 7.5% of net operating income on stabilized properties, 70 basis points of total projected costs as asset management fees on renovation or development properties, and incentive distributions of 15% of the return over a 9% internal rate of return and 20% of the return over a 12% internal rate of return to investors on a periodic basis or at the end of a fund’s life. In Japan, the Company earns a 90 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 1.5% of 80% of the committed equity during the investment period and then 1.5% of unreturned equity, and incentive distributions of 20% of the return over a 10% internal rate of return and 25% of the return over a 13% internal rate of return to investors at the end of a fund’s life. In Europe, the Company earns a 90 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management fees of 75 basis points on the gross asset value of the fund, and incentive distributions of 20% of the return over a 9% internal rate of return and 25% of the return over a 12% internal rate of return to investors on a periodic basis. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies under Note 2, Interim Financial Statements. The Company evaluates performance based upon private capital income.

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

11.   Commitments and Contingencies

 
Commitments
 
Lease Commitments.  The Company has entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms of one to 55 years. Buildings and improvements subject to ground leases are depreciated ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.
 
Standby Letters of Credit.  As of June 30, 2007, the Company had provided approximately $23.6 million in letters of credit, of which $17.3 million were provided under the Operating Partnership’s $550.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.
 
Guarantees and Contribution Obligations.  Other than parent guarantees associated with unsecured debt or contribution obligations as discussed in Part  I, Item 1: Notes 5 and 7 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” as of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations in the aggregate amount of $340.8 million as described below.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding guarantees in the amount of $70.3 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of June 30, 2007, the Company also guaranteed $27.1 million and $83.2 million on outstanding loans on three of its consolidated joint ventures and two of its unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
 
In addition, as of June 30, 2007, the Company has guaranteed $13.2 million on outstanding property debt incurred by its unconsolidated joint ventures. Such guarantees will require payment by the Company of all or part of the applicable joint venture’s debt obligations upon certain defaults by the joint venture. The Company’s potential obligations under these guarantees may be greater than the Company’s share of the applicable joint venture fund’s debt obligations or the value of its share of any property securing such debt.
 
Also, the Company has entered into contribution agreements in connection with certain contributions of properties to its unconsolidated joint venture funds. These contribution agreements require the Company to make additional capital contributions to the applicable joint venture fund upon certain defaults by the joint venture of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable joint venture’s debt obligation and may be greater than the Company’s share of the joint venture’s debt obligation or the value of its share of any property securing such debt. The Company’s contribution obligations under these agreements will be reduced by the amounts recovered by the lender and the fair market value of the property, if any, used to secure the debt and obtained by the lender upon default. The Company’s potential obligations under these contribution agreements are $147.0 million as of June 30, 2007.
 
Performance and Surety Bonds.  As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $14.1 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of its development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure. The performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.
 
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.  Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, the Company may be obligated to make payments to certain of its joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with the Operating Partnership. From time to time in the normal course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into various contracts with third parties that may obligate it to make payments, pay promotes or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Contingencies
 
Litigation.  In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. Management does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
Environmental Matters.  The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability would have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow. The Company carries environmental insurance and believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice.
 
General Uninsured Losses.  The Company carries property and rental loss, liability, flood and terrorism insurance. The Company believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice. In addition, a significant number of the Company’s properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity. As a result, the Company has obtained limited earthquake insurance on those properties. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war, that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Although the Company has obtained coverage for certain acts of terrorism, with policy specifications and insured limits that it believes are commercially reasonable, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to collect under such policies. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, a property.
 
Captive Insurance Company.  The Company has a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under the Company’s third-party policies. The captive insurance company is one element of the Company’s overall risk management program. The Company capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata establishes annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience at the Company’s properties. Annually, the Company engages an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate. Like premiums paid to third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific lease terms. Through this structure, the Company believes that it has more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

12.   Subsequent Events

 
On July 16, 2007, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Operating Partnership, each acting as a borrower, and the Company and the Operating Partnership, as guarantors, entered into a fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility the Company executed on June 13, 2006. The fifth amended and restated credit facility amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility amount to $500 million with an option to further increase the facility to $750 million, to extend the maturity date to June 2011 and to allow for borrowing in Indian Rupees. See Note 5, Debt, for a more detailed discussion of the Company’s credit facilities.
 
On or about August 9, 2007, the Company expects to settle a repurchase of 114,638 shares of its common stock at an average price of $50.27 per share or approximately $5.8 million. This stock repurchase was made pursuant to the Company’s stock repurchase program approved by the Company’s board of directors in December 2005. This stock repurchase program allows for the discretionary repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Company’s common stock and expires on December 31, 2007. The Company publicly announced this stock repurchase program on December 7, 2005.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Some of the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Because these forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, and you should not rely on the forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements might not occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or the negative of these words and phrases, or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of whether, or the time at which, such performance or results will be achieved. There is no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them.
 
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
 
  •  changes in general economic conditions or in the real estate sector;
 
  •  defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers or renewal at lower than expected rent;
 
  •  difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms and the failure of acquisitions to perform as we expect;
 
  •  risks and uncertainties affecting property development and renovation (including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and financing, public opposition to these activities, as well as the risks associated with our expansion of and increased investment in our development business);
 
  •  risks of doing business internationally, including unfamiliarity with new markets and currency risks;
 
  •  risks of opening offices globally (including increasing headcount);
 
  •  a downturn in the California, U.S., or the global economy or real estate conditions;
 
  •  risks of changing personnel and roles;
 
  •  losses in excess of our insurance coverage;
 
  •  our failure to divest of properties on advantageous terms or to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures;
 
  •  unknown liabilities acquired in connection with acquired properties or otherwise;
 
  •  risks associated with using debt to fund acquisitions and development, including re-financing risks;
 
  •  risks related to our obligations in the event of certain defaults under joint venture and other debt;
 
  •  our failure to obtain necessary financing;
 
  •  our failure to maintain our current credit agency ratings;
 
  •  risks associated with equity and debt securities financings and issuances (including the risk of dilution);
 
  •  changes in local, state and federal regulatory requirements;
 
  •  increases in real property tax rates;
 
  •  risks associated with our tax structuring;
 
  •  increases in interest rates and operating costs or greater than expected capital expenditures;


31


Table of Contents

 
  •  environmental uncertainties; and
 
  •  our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of this report or as of the dates indicated in the statements. All of our forward-looking statements, including those in this report, are qualified in their entirety by this statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements.
 
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “AMB,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AMB Property Corporation, AMB Property, L.P. and their other controlled subsidiaries, and the references to AMB Property Corporation include AMB Property, L.P. and their controlled subsidiaries. We refer to AMB Property, L.P. as the “operating partnership.” The following marks are our registered trademarks: AMB®; High Throughput Distribution® (HTD®); and Strategic Alliance Programs®.
 
GENERAL
 
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust and expect that we have qualified, and will continue to qualify, as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 1997. As a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, our own employees perform our corporate administrative and management functions, rather than our relying on an outside manager for these services. We manage our portfolio of properties generally through direct property management performed by our own employees. Additionally, within our flexible operating model, we may from time to time establish relationships with third-party real estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide some property-level administrative and management services under our direction.
 
Management’s Overview
 
The primary source of our revenue and earnings is rent received from customers under long-term (generally three to ten years) operating leases at our properties, including reimbursements from customers for certain operating costs. We also produce earnings from our private capital business, which consists of acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, and promoted interests and incentive distributions from our co-investment joint ventures. Additionally, we produce earnings from the disposition of projects in our development-for-sale program and from the contributions of development properties to our co-investment joint ventures. Our long-term growth is driven by our ability to maintain and increase occupancy rates or increase rental rates at our properties, and by our ability to continue to develop and acquire new properties.
 
Real estate fundamentals in the United States industrial markets held steady during the second quarter of 2007. According to data provided by Torto-Wheaton Research, availability was 9.3%, unchanged from the prior quarter. The general trend remains favorable with availability down 40 basis points from a year ago. According to Torto-Wheaton Research, absorption in the quarter was 34.3 million square feet, an increase from the prior quarter, and construction completions in the quarter were 37.3 million square feet, also an increase from the prior quarter, but 3.3 million square feet below the 18-year quarterly average. We believe that net absorption for the second half of 2007 will be moderately positive, which could drive vacancy rates lower by year end. We think the strongest industrial markets in the U.S. are the coastal markets tied to global trade, including Southern California, which is our largest market, South Florida, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and to a lesser degree, Northern New Jersey/New York (with the exception of the Exit 8A submarket). While we believe that the broader Chicago market remains flat, the O’Hare submarket remains strong and stands to benefit from the O’Hare airport’s current modernization and expansion program. Dallas continues to recover, and Atlanta continues to suffer from a large increase in supply. Based on our assessment, the operating environment in our U.S. on-tarmac business remains good with improving cargo volumes and essentially no new supply.

In Europe, we view the markets of Hamburg, Amsterdam and Madrid as strong, with modest growth in the balance of Western Europe. We believe that the majority of the demand for industrial real estate in Western Europe comes from the replacement of obsolete buildings. In Japan, we view the infill Tokyo submarkets where we operate as generally healthy with solid demand for the kind of facilities we own and develop.
 
On June 12, 2007, we announced the formation of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS. This Euro-denominated, open-end commingled fund’s investment focus is to acquire stabilized industrial distribution properties, including those developed by us, near high-volume airports, seaports and transportation networks, and in the major metropolitan areas of Europe, with initial target markets in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and Central/Eastern Europe. The gross asset value of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS was approximately $613 million at formation and $719 million at June 30, 2007.
 
Going forward, we think our co-investment program with private-capital investors will continue to serve as a significant source of revenues and capital for new investments. Through these co-investment joint ventures, we typically earn acquisition fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, as well as promoted interests and incentive distributions based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures; however, we cannot assure you that we will continue to do so. Through contribution of development properties to our co-investment joint ventures, we expect to recognize value creation from our development pipeline. In anticipation of the formation of future co-investment joint ventures, we may also hold acquired properties for later contribution to future funds. As of June 30, 2007, we owned approximately 78.1 million square feet of our properties (57.1% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these co-investment joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.
 
We expect development to be a significant driver of our earnings growth as we expand our land and development pipeline, and contribute completed development projects into our co-investment joint ventures or sell to third parties and recognize development profits. We think development, renovation and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should generally continue to provide us with attractive investment opportunities at higher rates of return than may be obtained from the purchase of existing properties. Our development opportunities in Mexico, Japan and China are particularly attractive given the current lack of supply of modern industrial distribution facilities in the major metropolitan markets of these countries. Over the past five years, since launching our global expansion, our annual development starts have increased from $91 million in 2002 to $914 million in 2006. We believe value-added conversion projects also create value for our stockholders. Such projects represent the development or redevelopment of land or a building site for a more valuable use. In addition to our committed development pipeline, we hold a total of 2,438 acres for future development or sale, 96% of which is in North America. We currently estimate that these 2,438 acres of land could support approximately 42.3 million square feet of future development.
 
We believe that customer demand for new industrial space in strategic markets tied to global trade will continue to outpace supply. To capitalize on this demand, we intend to continue to expand our development business in existing and into new markets around the world. We expect that development starts will grow from $914 million in 2006 to $1.6 billion by 2010. In March 2007, we issued common equity, for the first time since our 1997 initial public offering, to strengthen our balance sheet to provide capital for our anticipated growth.
 
Our long-term capital allocation goal is to have approximately 50% of our owned and managed operating portfolio invested in non-U.S. markets (based on owned and managed annualized base rent). As of June 30, 2007, our non-U.S. operating properties comprised 19.1% of our owned and managed operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent) and 1.8% of our consolidated operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent). In addition to the United States, we include Canada and Mexico as target countries in North America. In Europe, our target countries currently are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Asia, our target countries currently are China, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. We expect to add additional target countries outside the United States in the future, including countries in Central/Eastern Europe.

We believe that higher occupancy levels in our portfolio, driven in part by strengthening fundamentals in our markets tied to global trade, are contributing to rental rate growth in our portfolio. At June 30, 2007, our operating portfolio’s occupancy rate was 96.1%, on an owned and managed basis, an increase of 80 basis points from the prior quarter and 90 basis points from June 30, 2006. Rental rates on lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio

Table of Contents

increased 2.0% in the second quarter of 2007, which we think reflect the generally positive trends in real estate fundamentals in our markets. Cash-basis same store net operating income with and without the effect of lease termination fees, grew by 5.8% in the second quarter of 2007, on an owned and managed basis. See “Supplemental Earnings Measures” below for a discussion of cash-basis same store net operating income and a reconciliation of cash-basis same store net operating income and net income. We currently expect that cash-basis same store growth in our operating portfolio, excluding lease termination fees, will be approximately 4% for 2007, on an owned and managed basis. We believe that market rents have generally recovered from their lows and in many of our markets are back to or above their prior peak levels of 2001.
 
To maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, we must pay dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income. As a result, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our on-going operations to the same extent that other corporations that are not real estate investment trusts can. We must continue to raise capital in both the debt and equity markets to fund our working capital needs, acquisitions and developments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a complete discussion of the sources of our capital.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
In the preparation of financial statements, we utilize certain critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies included in the notes to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
THE COMPANY
 
We acquire, develop and operate industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. We use the terms “industrial properties” or “industrial buildings” to describe various types of industrial properties in our portfolio and use these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput Distribution® (HTD®) facilities; or any combination of these terms. We use the term “owned and managed” to describe assets in which we have at least a 10% ownership interest, for which we are the property or asset manager, and which we intend to hold for the long-term.
 
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997. Our strategy focuses on providing properties for customers who value the efficient movement of goods located mostly in the world’s busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained locations with proximity to airports, seaports and major highway systems. As of June 30, 2007, we owned, or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 136.7 million square feet (12.7 million square meters) and 1,152 buildings in 44 markets within thirteen countries. Additionally, as of June 30, 2007, we managed, but did not have a significant ownership interest in, industrial and other properties totaling approximately 1.5 million rentable square feet.
 
We operate our business primarily through our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “operating partnership”. As of June 30, 2007, we owned an approximate 95.8% general partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding preferred units. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for and discretion in its day-to-day management and control.
 
Our investment strategy generally targets customers whose businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the World Trade Organization, has grown more than three times the world gross domestic product growth rate over the last 30 years. To serve the facility needs of these customers, we seek to invest in major global distribution markets and transportation hubs that, generally, are tied to global trade.
 
Our strategy is to be a leading provider of industrial properties in supply-constrained submarkets of our target markets. These submarkets are generally characterized by large population densities and typically offer substantial consumer concentrations, proximity to large clusters of distribution-facility users and significant labor pools, and are generally located near key international passenger and cargo airports, seaports and major highway systems. When measured by annualized base rent, on an owned and managed basis, the substantial majority of our portfolio of industrial properties is located in our target markets, and much of this is in in-fill submarkets within our target markets. In-fill locations are characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing projects as well as physical, political or economic barriers to new development.
 
Further, in many of our target markets, we focus on HTD® facilities, which are buildings designed to facilitate the rapid distribution of our customers’ products rather than storage of goods. Our investment focus on HTD® assets is based on what we think to be a global trend toward lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains. HTD® facilities generally have a variety of physical characteristics that allow for the rapid transport of goods from point-

to-point. These physical characteristics could include numerous dock doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and more space for trailer parking. We think these building characteristics represent an important success factor for time-sensitive customers such as air express, logistics and freight forwarding companies, and that these facilities function best when located in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure, such as major airports and seaports.
 
Of approximately 136.7 million square feet as of June 30, 2007:
 
  •  on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, we owned or partially owned approximately 111.3 million square feet (principally warehouse distribution buildings) that were 96.1% leased;
 
  •  on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, we had investments in 46 industrial development projects, which are expected to total approximately 15.7 million square feet upon completion;
 
  •  on a consolidated basis, we owned nine development projects, totaling approximately 2.2 million square feet, which are available for sale or contribution;
 
  •  through non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures, we had investments in 46 industrial operating properties, totaling approximately 7.3 million square feet; and
 
  •  we held approximately 0.2 million square feet through our investment in AMB Pier One, LLC, which is the location of our global headquarters.
 
Our global headquarters are located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is (415) 394-9000. We maintain other office locations in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Baltimore, Beijing, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Frankfurt, Los Angeles, Menlo Park, Nagoya, Narita, New Jersey, New York, Osaka, Paris, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo and Vancouver. As of June 30, 2007, we employed 469 individuals: 181 in our San Francisco headquarters, 60 in our Boston office, 49 in our Tokyo office, 35 in our Amsterdam office and the remainder in our other offices.

Operating Strategy
 
We base our operating strategy on a variety of operational and service offerings, including in-house acquisitions, development, redevelopment, asset management, property management, leasing, finance, accounting and market research. Our strategy is to leverage our expertise across a large customer base, and complement our internal management resources with long-standing relationships with entrepreneurial real estate management and development firms in certain of our target markets.
 
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and best operated by local teams in each market comprised of AMB employees, local alliance partners or both. We intend to continue to increase utilization of internal management resources in target markets to achieve both operating efficiencies and to expose our customers to the broadening array of AMB service offerings, including access to multiple locations worldwide and build-to-suit developments. We actively manage our portfolio, whether directly or with an alliance partner, by establishing leasing strategies, negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of property improvements.

Growth Strategies
 
Growth through Operations
 
We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space, working to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of scale inherent in owning, operating and growing a large, global portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, rent on renewed and released space in our operating portfolio increased 2.0%, on an owned and managed basis. This amount excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage rents and straight-line rents. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, cash-basis same store net operating income increased by 5.8% on an owned and managed basis. While we think that it is important to view real estate as a long-term investment, past results are not necessarily an indication of future performance. See “Supplemental Earnings Measures” for a discussion of cash-basis same store net operating income and a reconciliation of cash-basis same store net operating income and net income and Part I, Item 1: Note 10 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for detailed segment information, including revenue attributable to each segment, gross investment in each segment and total assets.
 
Growth through Development and Value-Added Conversions
 
We think that development, redevelopment and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties generally provide us with attractive investment opportunities at higher rates of return than may be obtained from the purchase of existing properties. Through the deployment of our in-house development expertise, we seek to create value both through new construction and acquisition and management of value-added properties. Value-added conversion projects represent the development or redevelopment of land or a building site for a more valuable use and may include such activities as rezoning, redesigning, reconstructing and retenanting. Both new development and value-added conversions require significant management attention and capital investment to maximize their return. Completed development properties are generally contributed to our co-investment joint ventures and held in our owned and managed portfolio or sold to third parties. We think our global market presence and expertise will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on a diverse range of development opportunities.
 
The multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development opportunities. Many of our employees have specific experience in real estate development, both with us and with local, national or international development firms. Over the past five years, we have significantly expanded our development staff. We pursue development projects directly and in joint ventures, providing us with the flexibility to pursue development projects independently or in partnerships, depending on market conditions, submarkets or building sites.
 
Growth through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment
 
Our acquisition experience and our network of property management, leasing and acquisition resources should continue to provide opportunities for growth. In addition to our internal resources, we have long-term relationships with third-party local property management firms, which may give us access to additional acquisition opportunities, as such managers frequently market properties on behalf of sellers. We think our UPREIT structure, which enables us to acquire land and industrial properties in the United States in exchange for limited partnership units in the operating partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., enhances our attractiveness to owners and developers seeking to transfer properties on a tax-deferred basis. In addition, we seek to redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that better fit our current investment focus.
 
We are generally engaged in various stages of negotiations for a number of acquisitions and dispositions that may include individual properties, large multi-property portfolios or other real estate companies. We cannot assure you that we will consummate any of these transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital for acquisitions may include retained cash flow from operations, borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities, other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or preferred or common equity securities by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries), proceeds from divestitures of properties, assumption of debt related to the acquired properties and private capital from our co-investment partners.

Growth through Global Expansion
 
Our long-term capital allocation goal is to have approximately 50% of our owned and managed operating portfolio invested in non-U.S. markets (based on annualized base rent). As of June 30, 2007, our non-U.S. operating properties comprised 19.1% of our owned and managed operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent) and 1.8% of our consolidated operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent). In addition to the United States, we include Canada and Mexico as target countries in North America. In Europe, our target countries currently are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. In Asia, our target countries currently are China, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. We expect to add additional target countries outside the United States in the future.
 
Expansion into target markets outside the United States represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in industrial property markets with high population densities, close proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools, and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our international expansion strategy mirrors our focus in the United States on supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic or physical constraints to new development. Our international investments extend our offering of HTD® facilities for customers who value speed-to-market over storage. Specifically, we are focused on customers whose business is derived from global trade. In addition, our investments target major consumer distribution markets and customers. We think that our established customer relationships, our contacts in the air cargo and logistics industries, our underwriting of markets and investments and our strategic alliances with knowledgeable developers and managers will assist us in competing internationally. For a discussion of the amount of our revenues attributable to the United States and international markets, please see Part I, Item 1: Note 11 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
 
Growth through Co-Investments
 
We co-invest in properties with private capital investors through partnerships, limited liability companies or joint ventures. Our co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and typically operate under the same investment strategy that we apply to our other operations. Typically, we will own a 15-50% interest in our co-investment joint ventures. We expect our co-investment program will continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments; however, we cannot assure you that it will continue to do so. In addition, our co-investment joint ventures typically allow us to earn acquisition and development fees, asset management fees or priority distributions, as well as promoted interests or incentive distributions based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures. As of June 30, 2007, we owned approximately 78.1 million square feet of our properties (51.7% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
 
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Effective October 1, 2006, we deconsolidated AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., on a prospective basis, due to the re-evaluation of the accounting for our investment in the fund in light of changes to the partnership agreement regarding the general partner’s rights effective October 1, 2006. As a result, our results of operations presented below are not comparable between years presented.
 
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures. Same store properties are those that we owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development properties stabilized after December 31, 2005 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for which we have held a certificate of occupancy or where building has been substantially complete for at least 12 months).
 
As of June 30, 2007, same store industrial properties consisted of properties aggregating approximately 73.6 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2007, consisted of three properties, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, our acquisitions consisted of eight properties, aggregating approximately 2.5 million square feet. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 11 properties, aggregating approximately 5.8 million square feet. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, property divestitures consisted

of three properties, aggregating approximately 0.5 million square feet. The properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2007, consisted of four properties, aggregating approximately 0.4 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our acquisitions consisted of 14 properties, aggregating approximately 4.6 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 14 properties, aggregating approximately 6.4 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, property divestitures consisted of six properties, aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet. Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties and dispositions. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical results.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues decreased $11.3 million from the prior year for the three month period due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., partially offset by an increase in occupancy and rent increases on renewals and rollovers. Pro forma same store rental revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, would have been $133.5 million, if AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. had been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2006. The properties acquired during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 consisted of 27 properties, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2007, consisted of three properties, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet. The increase in rental revenues from development is primarily due to increased occupancy at several of our development projects where development activities have been substantially completed. Other industrial revenues include rental revenues from development projects that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in revenues from non-U.S. industrial properties is primarily due to the acquisition of properties in France, Germany, Mexico and the Netherlands during 2006. The increase in private capital income of $3.6 million was primarily due to an increase in acquisition fees and asset management fees as a result of an increase in total assets under management.

Same store properties’ operating expenses decreased $1.9 million from the prior year for the three month period due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. Pro forma same store operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, would have been $35.9 million, if AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. had been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2006. The 2006 acquisitions consisted of 27 properties, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. The 2007 acquisitions consisted of three properties, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet. The increase in development operating costs is primarily due to increased operations in certain development projects which have been substantially completed. Other industrial expenses include expenses from development properties that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. In 2006 and 2007, we continued to acquire properties in France, Germany, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in increased international operating costs. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to additional staffing and the opening of new satellite offices both domestically and internationally. The impairment loss during the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was taken on several non-core assets as a result of leasing activities and changes in the economic environment and the holding period of certain assets. Other expenses increased approximately $1.4 million from the prior year for the three month period due primarily to an increase in losses on the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and certain deal costs.

The decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $6.5 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, was primarily due to a decrease in gains from the disposition of real estate by our unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. Other income increased approximately $4.3 million from the prior year for the three month period due primarily to an increase in interest income. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed 4.2 million square feet in operating properties to our newly formed unconsolidated co-investment joint venture, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, a Euro-denominated open-ended co-investment joint venture, and contributed a 0.2 million square foot operating property into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. for a total of approximately $520.3 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized gains from the contribution of real estate interests of approximately $74.7 million, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we sold three completed development projects totaling 0.2 million square feet for approximately $20.9, resulting in an after-tax gain of $3.0 million. In addition, we contributed three completed development projects totaling 0.7 million square feet into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and three completed development projects totaling 0.5 million square feet into our newly formed AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, both unconsolidated joint ventures, for a total of $138.5 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $26.0 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we sold an approximately 32,000 square foot development project for $2.9 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $0.1 million. In addition, we received approximately $0.4 million in connection with the condemnation of a parcel of land resulting in a loss of $1.0 million, $0.8 million of which was the joint venture partner’s share. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we contributed one completed development project totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., and one completed development project totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, both unconsolidated joint ventures. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $46.6 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. The decrease in interest expense, including amortization, was due primarily to decreased borrowings on unsecured credit facilities and the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we did not divest ourselves of any industrial buildings. The gains from dispositions of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 resulted primarily from the additional value received from the disposition of properties in 2006. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we divested ourselves of eight industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.5 million square feet for $37.1 million, with a resulting net gain of approximately $17.1 million.

In August 2006, we issued 2,000,000 shares of 6.85% Series P Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The increase in preferred stock dividends is due to the then newly issued shares. On April 17, 2007, the operating partnership redeemed all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. In addition, on April 17, 2007, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, repurchased all 510,000 of its outstanding 8.00% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. As a result of the redemptions and repurchase during the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized a reduction of income available to common stockholders of $2.9 million for the original issuance costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, redeemed all 220,440 of its outstanding 7.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and we recognized an increase in income available to common stockholders of $0.1 million for the discount on repurchase, net of original issuance costs.

The decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $6.5 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, was primarily due to a decrease in gains from the disposition of real estate by our unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. Other income increased approximately $6.3 million from the prior year for the six month period due primarily to an increase in interest income and insurance proceeds related to losses from hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed 4.2 million square feet in operating properties, to our newly formed unconsolidated co-investment joint venture, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, a Euro-denominated open-ended co-investment joint venture, contributed a 0.2 million square foot operating property into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and contributed an operating property aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, for a total of approximately $524.9 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized gains from contribution of real estate interests of approximately $74.8 million, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we sold five completed development projects totaling 0.3 million square feet for approximately $45.6 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $6.3 million. In addition, we contributed eight completed development projects totaling 1.7 million square feet and two land parcels into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, our newly formed AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS and AMB DFS Fund I, LLC, four of our unconsolidated joint ventures. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $34.9 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed assets acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we sold one land parcel and an approximately 32,000 square foot development project for an aggregate sale price of $7.6 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $0.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we also contributed one completed development project totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., and one completed development project totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $46.6 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. In addition, we received approximately $0.4 million in connection with the condemnation of a parcel of land resulting in a loss of $1.0 million, $0.8 million of which was the joint venture partner’s share. The decrease in interest expense, including amortization, was due primarily to decreased borrowings on unsecured credit facilities and the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., partially offset by refinancing costs associated with the refinanced $305.0 million of secured debt for AMB-SGP, L.P., one of our co-investment joint ventures.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we did not divest ourselves of any industrial buildings. The gains from dispositions of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 resulted primarily from the additional value received from the disposition of properties in 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we divested ourselves of 12 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $53.9 million, with a resulting net gain of $24.1 million.

In August 2006, we issued 2,000,000 shares of 6.85% Series P Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The increase in preferred stock dividends is due to the then newly issued shares. On April 17, 2007, the operating partnership redeemed all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. In addition, on April 17, 2007, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, repurchased all 510,000 of its outstanding 8.00% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. As a result of the redemptions and repurchase, we recognized a reduction of income available to common stockholders of $2.9 million for the original issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., redeemed all 840,000 of its outstanding 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 220,440 of its outstanding 7.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. As a result, we recognized a decrease in income available to common stockholders of $1.0 million for the original issuance costs, net of discount.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Balance Sheet Strategy.  In general, we use unsecured lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred stock and common equity (issued by us and/or the operating partnership and its subsidiaries) to capitalize our wholly-owned assets. Over time, we plan to retire non-recourse, secured debt encumbering our wholly-owned assets and replace that debt with unsecured notes where practicable. In managing our co-investment joint ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to capitalize our co-investment joint ventures.
 
We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of properties will include:
 
  •  retained earnings and cash flow from operations;
 
  •  private capital from co-investment partners;
 
  •  net proceeds from contribution of properties and completed development projects to our co-investment joint ventures;
 
  •  proceeds from equity (common and preferred) or debt securities offerings;
 
  •  borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities;
 
  •  other forms of secured or unsecured financing;
 
  •  proceeds from limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited partnership units by our subsidiaries); and
 
  •  net proceeds from divestitures of properties.
 
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will include:
 
  •  working capital;


47


Table of Contents

 
  •  development, expansion and renovation of properties;
 
  •  acquisitions;
 
  •  debt service; and
 
  •  dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred stock and limited partnership units.
 
Cash flows.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, cash provided by operating activities was $131.6 million as compared to $159.9 million for the same period in 2006. This change is primarily due to changes in our assets and liabilities and an increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to additional staffing and expenses for new initiatives, including our international and development expansions and increased occupancy costs. Cash used in investing activities was $252.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to cash used for investing activities of $643.2 million for the same period in 2006. This change is primarily due to an increase in proceeds from divestitures of real estate due largely to the formation of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, offset by a decrease in funds used for property acquisitions, a decrease in capital distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures, and an increase in additions to interests in unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash provided by financing activities was $177.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $444.3 million for the same period in 2006. This change is due primarily to an increase in payments, on secured debt, other debt, credit facilities, senior debt, the cost of repurchase of preferred units, and a decrease in borrowings on other debt, proceeds from issuances of senior debt, and contributions from co-investment partners. This activity was partially offset by the issuance of common stock and increased borrowings on secured debt and credit facilities.
 
We believe our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations, borrowings available under our unsecured credit facilities and our ability to access private and public debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
 
Capital Resources
 
Property Divestitures.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we did not divest ourselves of any operating industrial buildings. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we divested ourselves of eight industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.5 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $37.1 million, with a resulting net gain of $17.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we divested ourselves of 12 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $53.9 million, with a resulting net gain of $24.1 million.
 
Gains from Sale or Contribution of Real Estate Interests.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed approximately 4.2 million square feet in operating properties, to our newly formed unconsolidated co-investment joint venture, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, a Euro-denominated open-ended co-investment joint venture, and contributed an approximate 0.2 million square foot operating property into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. for a total of approximately $520.3 million. We recognized a gain of $74.7 million on the contributions, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed operating properties for approximately $524.9 million, aggregating approximately 4.5 million square feet, into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. We recognized a gain of $74.8 million on the contributions, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no comparable events.
 
Development Starts.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we initiated nine new industrial development projects in North America and Asia and one value added conversion project in North America with a total expected investment of $265.1 million, aggregating approximately 3.2 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we initiated 14 new industrial development projects in North America and Asia and one value added conversion project in North America with a total expected investment of $455.8 million, aggregating approximately 5.1 million square feet. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we initiated


48


Table of Contents

four new industrial development projects in North America and Asia with a total estimated investment of $134.6 million, aggregating an estimated 2.0 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we initiated 11 new industrial development projects in North America and Asia with a total expected investment of $353.4 million, aggregating approximately 4.9 million square feet.
 
Development Contributions.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed three completed development projects aggregating 0.7 million square feet and three completed development projects aggregating 0.5 million square feet into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and AMB Europe Fund  I, FCP-FIS, respectively, both unconsolidated joint ventures. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $26.0 million, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed four completed development projects aggregating 1.0 million square feet, three completed development projects aggregating 0.5 million square feet and one 0.2 million square foot completed development project into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS and AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, respectively, all unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, two land parcels were contributed into AMB DFS Fund I, LLC. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $34.9 million, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we contributed one completed development project totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., and one completed development project totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, both unconsolidated joint ventures. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $46.6 million representing the portion of its interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. No other contributions were made during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
 
Properties Held for Contribution.  As of June 30, 2007, we held for contribution to co-investment joint ventures 12 industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $245.6 million, which, when contributed to a joint venture, will reduce our current ownership interest from approximately 93% to an expected range of 15-20%.
 
Properties Held for Divestiture.  As of June 30, 2007, we held for divestiture five industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $45.1 million. These properties either are not in our core markets or do not meet our current investment objectives, or are included as part of our development-for-sale program. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. Properties held for divestiture are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
 
Co-Investment Joint Ventures.  Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. We consolidate these joint ventures for financial reporting purposes when they are not variable interest entities and when we are the sole managing general partner and control all major operating decisions. However, in certain cases, our co-investment joint ventures are unconsolidated because we do not control all major operating decisions and the general partners do not have significant rights under the Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.
 
Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2007, we owned approximately 78.1 million square feet of our properties (51.7% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We may

(7) AMB DFS Fund I, LLC is a co-investment partnership formed in 2006 with a subsidiary of GE Real Estate to build and sell properties.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we exercised our option to purchase the remaining equity interest, based on the fair market value as stipulated in the joint venture agreement, in AMB Pier One, LLC, for a nominal amount. AMB Pier One, LLC, is a joint venture related to the 2000 redevelopment of the pier that houses our global headquarters in San Francisco, California. As a result, the investment was consolidated as of June 30, 2007.
 
As of June 30, 2007, we also had an approximate 39.0% unconsolidated equity interest in G.Accion, a Mexican real estate company. G.Accion provides management and development services for industrial, retail, residential and office properties in Mexico. In addition, as of June 30, 2007, one of our subsidiaries also had an approximate 5% interest in IAT Air Cargo Facilities Income Fund (IAT), a Canadian income trust specializing in aviation-related real estate at Canada’s leading international airports. This equity investment of approximately $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
 
Common and Preferred Equity.  We have authorized for issuance 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which the following series were designated as of June 30, 2007: 1,595,337 shares of series D preferred; 2,300,000 shares of series L cumulative redeemable preferred, of which 2,000,000 are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series M cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; 3,000,000 shares of series O cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; and 2,000,000 shares of series P cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we issued approximately 8.4 million shares of our common stock for net proceeds of approximately $472.1 million, which were contributed to the operating partnership in exchange


50


Table of Contents

for the issuance of approximately 8.4 million general partnership units. As a result of the common stock issuance, there was a significant reallocation of partnership interests due to the difference in our stock price at issuance as compared to the book value per share at the time of issuance. We intend to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and, over the long term, to expand our global development business.
 
In December 2005, our board of directors approved a new two-year common stock repurchase program for the discretionary repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. We did not repurchase or retire any shares of our common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
 
Debt.  In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend to operate with an our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less. As of June 30, 2007, our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio was 32.2%. (See footnote 1 to the Capitalization Ratios table below for our definitions of “our share of total market capitalization,” “market equity” and “our share of total debt.”) However, we typically finance our co-investment joint ventures with secured debt at a loan-to-value ratio of 50-65% per our joint venture agreements. Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless of these policies, however, our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our management could alter or eliminate these policies without stockholder approval or circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply with these policies.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.3 billion, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $5.0 million. Of the $1.3 billion of secured debt, $1.1 billion is secured by properties in our joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and bears interest at rates varying from 1.1% to 9.4% per annum (with a weighted average rate of 6.1%) and final maturity dates ranging from September 2007 to February 2024. As of June 30, 2007, $1.1 billion of the secured debt obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3%, while the remaining $228.7 million bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 5.3%).
 
On February 14, 2007, seven subsidiaries of AMB-SGP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is one of our subsidiaries, entered into a loan agreement for a $305 million secured financing. On the same day, pursuant to the loan agreement, the same seven subsidiaries delivered four promissory notes to the two lenders, each of which matures on March 5, 2012. One note has a principal of $160 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%. The second is a $40 million note with an interest rate of 81 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate. The third note has a principal of $84 million and a fixed interest rate of 5.90%. The fourth note has a principal of $21 million and bears interest at a rate of 135 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the operating partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.1 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% and had an average term of 4.5 years. These unsecured senior debt securities include $300.0 million in notes issued in June 1998, $205.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnership’s 2000 medium-term note program, $275.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnership’s 2002 medium-term note program, $175.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnership’s 2006 medium-term note program and approximately $112.5 million of 5.094% Notes Due 2015, which were issued to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America on July 11, 2005 in a private placement, in exchange for the cancelled $100.0 million of notes that were issued in June 1998, resulting in a discount of approximately $12.5 million. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants.
 
We guarantee the operating partnership’s obligations with respect to its senior debt securities. If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds from other capital transactions, then our cash flow may be insufficient to pay dividends to our stockholders in all years and to repay debt upon maturity. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. This increased interest expense would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Credit Facilities.  The operating partnership has a $550.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility which matures on June 1, 2010. We are a guarantor of the operating partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The line carries a one-year extension option and can be increased to up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the operating partnership’s long-term debt rating, which was 42.5 basis points as of June 30, 2007, with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Euros, Yen or British Pounds Sterling. The operating partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2007, was $43.4 million and the remaining amount available was $489.3 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $17.3 million.
 
AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the operating partnership has a Yen-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing limit of 45.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect at June 30, 2007, equaled approximately $365.3 million U.S. dollars. On June 15, 2007, AMB Japan Finance Y.K. exercised an existing accordion feature to increase this unsecured revolving credit facility to 55.0 billion Yen, which using the exchange rate in effect at June 30, 2007, equaled approximately $446.5 million U.S. dollars. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the operating partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The credit facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option. The extension option is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt and was 42.5 basis points as of June 30, 2007. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt, and was 15 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2007, was $360.4 million in U.S. dollars. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations.
 
The operating partnership also has a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by us or the operating partnership that are selected by the operating partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to our credit facility. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. The line, which matures in February 2010 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased to up to $350.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt, which was 60 basis points as of June 30, 2007, with an annual facility fee based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and general working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this facility was approximately $158.3 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios by the operating partnership, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations.
 
On December 8, 2006, we executed a 228.0 million Euros facility agreement (approximately $308.5 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2007), which provides that certain of our affiliates may borrow either acquisition loans, up to a 100.0 million Euros sub-limit (approximately $135.4 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2007), or secured term loans, in connection with properties located in France,


52


Table of Contents

Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy or Spain. On March 21, 2007, we increased the facility amount limit from 228.0 million Euros to 328.0 million Euros (approximately $436.3 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2007). Drawings under the term facility bear interest at a rate of 65 basis points over EURIBOR and may occur until, and mature on, April 30, 2014. Drawings under the acquisition loan facility bear interest at a rate of 75 basis points over EURIBOR and are repayable within six months of the date of advance, unless extended. We initially guaranteed the acquisition loan facility and were the carve-out indemnitor in respect of the term loans. According to the facility agreement these responsibilities will be transferred upon the occurrence of certain events, and we will be fully discharged from all such obligations upon such transfer. On June 12, 2007, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, assumed, and we were released from, all of our obligations and liabilities under the facility agreement. On June 12, 2007, there were 200.7 million Euros (approximately $271.8 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2007) of term loans and no acquisition loans outstanding under the facility agreement.

(3) The weighted average interest and average maturity for the unconsolidated joint venture debt were 4.5% and 5.1 years, respectively.
 
(4) Our share of total debt represents the pro rata portion of the total debt based on our percentage of equity interest in each of the consolidated or unconsolidated joint ventures holding the debt. We believe that our share of total debt is a meaningful supplemental measure, which enables both management and investors to analyze our leverage and to compare our leverage to that of other companies. In addition, it allows for a more meaningful comparison of our debt to that of other companies that do not consolidate their joint ventures. Our share of total debt is not intended to reflect our actual liability should there be a default under any or all of such loans or a liquidation of the joint ventures. The above table reconciles our share of total debt to total consolidated debt, a GAAP financial measure.

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from operations, will not allow us to retire all of our debt as it comes due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with net proceeds from future debt or equity financings, as well as property divestitures. However, we may not be able to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
 
Capital Commitments
 
Development Starts.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we initiated nine new industrial development projects in North America and Asia and one value added conversion project in North America with a total expected investment of $265.1 million, aggregating approximately 3.2 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we initiated 14 new industrial development projects in North America and Asia and one value added conversion project in North America with a total expected investment of $455.8 million, aggregating approximately 5.1 million square feet.
 
Development Pipeline.  As of June 30, 2007, we had 46 industrial projects in our development pipeline, which is expected to total approximately 15.7 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $1.5 billion upon completion. We have an additional nine development projects available for sale or contribution totaling approximately 2.2 million square feet, with an aggregate estimated investment of $227.1 million. As of June 30, 2007, we and our joint venture partners had funded an aggregate of $972.0 million and needed to fund an estimated additional $490.0 million in order to complete our development pipeline. The development pipeline, at June 30, 2007, included projects expected to be completed through the second quarter of 2009. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2007, we acquired 515 acres of land for industrial warehouse development in North America and Asia for approximately $72.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we acquired 937 acres of land for industrial warehouse development in North America and Asia for approximately $113.2 million.
 
Acquisition Activity.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, on an owned and managed basis, we acquired 23 industrial properties, aggregating approximately 5.4 million square feet for a total expected investment of $494.6 million (includes acquisition costs of $487.6 million and estimated acquisition capital of $7.0 million). Of the 23 industrial properties acquired, three industrial properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet for a total expected investment of $16.6 million (includes acquisition costs of $16.0 million and estimated acquisition capital of $0.6 million) were acquired directly by us and 20 industrial properties aggregating approximately 5.2 million square feet for a total expected investment of $478.0 million (includes acquisition costs of $471.6 million and estimated acquisition capital of $6.4 million) were acquired through four of our unconsolidated joint ventures. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, on an owned and managed basis, we acquired 31 industrial properties aggregating approximately 7.2 million square feet for a total expected investment of $636.4 million (includes acquisition costs of $624.6 million and estimated acquisition capital of $11.8 million).
 
Lease Commitments.  We have entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms from one to 55 years. These buildings and improvements subject to ground leases are amortized ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.
 
Co-Investment Joint Ventures.  Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. As of June 30, 2007, we had investments in co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of $1.9 billion, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and net equity investments in five unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures of $263.7 million and a gross book value of $3.5 billion. As of June 30, 2007, we may make additional capital contributions to current and planned co-investment joint ventures of up to $153.0 million (using the exchange rates at June 30, 2007) pursuant to the terms of the joint venture

agreements. From time to time, we may raise additional equity commitments for AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended unconsolidated co-investment joint venture formed in 2004 with institutional investors, which invests through a private real estate investment partnership, and for AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, an open-ended unconsolidated co-investment joint venture formed in 2007 with institutional investors. This would increase our obligation to make additional capital commitments to these funds. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and the management regulations of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, we are obligated to contribute 20% of the total equity commitments until such time our total equity commitment is greater than $150.0 million or 150.0 million Euros, respectively, at which time, our obligation is reduced to 10% of the total equity commitments. We expect to fund these contributions with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or equity issuances or net proceeds from property divestitures, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
 
Captive Insurance Company.  In December 2001, we formed a wholly owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under our third-party policies. The captive insurance company is one element of our overall risk management program. We capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of our properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate. Like premiums paid to third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific lease terms. Through this structure, we think that we have more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.
 
Potential Contingent and Unknown Liabilities.  Contingent and unknown liabilities may include the following:
 
  •  liabilities for environmental conditions;
 
  •  claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our predecessors prior to our formation or acquisition transactions that had not been asserted prior to our formation or acquisition transactions;
 
  •  accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business;
 
  •  tax liabilities; and
 
  •  claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our predecessors and others indemnified by these entities.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
Standby Letters of Credit.  As of June 30, 2007, we had provided approximately $23.6 million in letters of credit, of which $17.3 million was provided under the operating partnership’s $550.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.
 
Guarantees and Contribution Obligations.  Other than parent guarantees associated with unsecured debt or contribution obligations as discussed in Part  I, Item 1: Notes 5 and 7 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” as of June 30, 2007, we had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations in the aggregate amount of $340.8 million as described below.
 
As of June 30, 2007, we had outstanding guarantees in the amount of $70.3 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of June 30, 2007, we also guaranteed $27.1 million and $83.2 million on outstanding loans on three of our consolidated joint ventures and two of our unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
 
In addition, as of June 30, 2007, we have guaranteed $13.2 million on outstanding property debt incurred by our unconsolidated joint ventures. Such guarantees will require payment by us of all or part of the applicable joint venture’s debt obligations upon certain defaults by the joint venture. Our potential obligations under these


57


Table of Contents

guarantees may be greater than our share of the applicable joint venture fund’s debt obligations or the value of our share of any property securing such debt.
 
Also, we have entered into contribution agreements in connection with certain contributions of properties to our unconsolidated joint venture funds. These contribution agreements require us to make additional capital contributions to the applicable joint venture fund upon certain defaults by the joint venture of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable joint venture’s debt obligation and may be greater than our share of the joint venture’s debt obligation or the value of our share of any property securing such debt. Our contribution obligations under these agreements will be reduced by the amounts recovered by the lender and the fair market value of the property, if any, used to secure the debt and obtained by the lender upon default. Our potential obligations under these contribution agreements are $147.0 million as of June 30, 2007.
 
Performance and Surety Bonds.  As of June 30, 2007, we had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $14.1 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of our development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.
 
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.  Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, we may be obligated to make payments to certain of our joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with us. From time to time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments, pay promotes, or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.
 
SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MEASURES
 
FFO.  We believe that net income, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. FFO is defined as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, less gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. We believe that FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. We consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies.
 
While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO also does not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor is FFO necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

SS NOI.  We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider same-store net operating income, or SS NOI and cash-basis same store net operating income to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Properties that are considered part of the same store pool include all properties that were owned, or owned and managed, as the case may be, as of the end of both the current and prior year reporting periods and exclude development properties for both the current and prior reporting periods. The same store pool is set annually and excludes properties purchased and developments stabilized after December 31, 2005 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for which we held a certificate of occupancy or where building has been substantially complete for at least 12 months). In deriving

same store net operating income, we define net operating income as rental revenues (as calculated in accordance with GAAP), including reimbursements, less property operating expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. In calculating cash-basis same store net operating income, we exclude straight-line rents and amortization of lease intangibles from the calculation of same store net operating income. We consider cash-basis same store net operating income to be an appropriate and useful supplemental performance measure because it reflects the operating performance of our real estate portfolio excluding effects of non-cash adjustments and provides a better measure of actual cash-basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. In addition, we believe that same store net operating income and cash-basis same store net operating income helps the investing public compare our operating performance with that of other companies. While same store net operating income and cash-basis same store net operating income are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, they do not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. Same store net operating income and cash-basis same store net operating income also do not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Further, our computation of same store net operating income and cash-basis same store net operating income may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating these measures.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates and international exchange rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimize the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of June 30, 2007, we had one outstanding interest rate swap with a notional amount of $25.0 million. See “Financial Instruments” below.
 
The table below summarizes the maturities and interest rates associated with our fixed and variable rate debt outstanding before net unamortized debt discounts of $5.1 million as of June 30, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

(1) Represents 72.3% of all outstanding debt.
 
(2) Represents 27.7% of all outstanding debt.
 
If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased or decreased by 10%, then the increase or decrease in interest expense on the variable rate debt would be $2.7 million (net of swaps) annually. As of June 30, 2007, the book value and the estimated fair value of our total consolidated debt (both secured and unsecured) was $3.0 billion and $3.1 billion respectively, based on our estimate of current market interest rates.
 
As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, variable rate debt comprised 27.7% and 37.1%, respectively, of all our outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $843.7 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily due to lower outstanding balances on our credit facilities. We believe this decrease in our outstanding variable rate debt decreases our risk associated with unfavorable interest rate fluctuations.
 
Financial Instruments.  We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. For revenues or expenses denominated in non-functional currencies, we may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our derivative financial instruments in effect at June 30, 2007 was one interest rate swap hedging cash flows of variable rate borrowings based on U.S. Libor (USD).

International Operations.  Our exposure to market risk also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional currency for our subsidiaries operating outside the United States is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity is located, mitigating the effect of foreign exchange gains and losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. We translate income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. The losses resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and totaled $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
 
Our international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, gains from remeasurement included in our results of operations were $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
 
We also record gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities may be substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
 
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
 
As of June 30, 2007, there were no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our properties is the subject, the determination of which we anticipate would have a material effect upon our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
We face risks associated with the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments, including refinancing and interest rate risk.
 
As of June 30, 2007, we had total debt outstanding of $3.0 billion. We guarantee the operating partnership’s obligations with respect to the senior debt securities referenced in our financial statements. We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. We anticipate that we will repay only a small portion of the principal of our debt prior to maturity. Accordingly, we will likely need to refinance at least a portion of our outstanding debt as it matures. There is a risk that we may not be able to refinance existing debt or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of our existing debt. If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds of other capital transactions, then we expect that our cash flow will not be sufficient in all years to repay all such maturing debt and to pay dividends to our stockholders. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. Higher interest rates on newly incurred debt may negatively impact us as well. If interest rates increase, our interest costs and overall costs of capital will increase, which could adversely affect our transaction and development activity, financial condition, results of operation, cash flow, the market price of our stock, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
 
In addition, if we mortgage one or more of our properties to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, then the property could be foreclosed upon or transferred to the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset value. A foreclosure on one or more of our properties could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
 
In addition, as of June 30, 2007, we have guaranteed $13.2 million on outstanding property debt incurred by our unconsolidated joint ventures. Such guarantees will require payment by us of all or part of the applicable joint venture’s debt obligations upon certain defaults by the joint venture. Our potential obligations under these guarantees may be greater than our share of the applicable joint venture fund’s debt obligations or the value of our share of any property securing such debt. Also, we have entered into contribution agreements in connection with certain contributions of properties to our unconsolidated joint venture funds. These contribution agreements require us to make additional capital contributions to the applicable joint venture fund upon certain defaults by the joint venture of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable joint venture’s debt obligation and may be greater than our share of the joint venture’s debt obligation or the value of our share of any property securing such debt. Our contribution obligations under these agreements will be reduced by the amounts recovered by the lender and the fair market value of the property, if any, used to secure the debt and obtained by the lender upon default. Our potential obligations under these contribution agreements are $147.0 million as of June 30, 2007. We intend to continue to guarantee debt of our unconsolidated joint venture funds and make additional contributions to our unconsolidated joint venture funds in connection with property contributions to the funds. Such payment obligations under such guarantees and contribution obligations under such contribution agreements, if required to be paid, could be of a magnitude that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively affect our financing activity.
 
The credit ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt and preferred stock are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analyses of us. Our credit ratings can affect the amount of capital we can access, as well as the terms of any financings we may obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and in the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs and may encounter difficulty in obtaining additional financing. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings may trigger additional payments or other negative consequences under our current and future credit facilities and debt instruments. Since we depend on debt financing to fund our acquisition and development activity, adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively impact our development and acquisition activity, future growth, financial condition, and the market price of our stock.
 
We may not be successful in contributing properties to our joint venture funds or disposing of properties to third parties.
 
We regularly contribute properties that we acquire or develop to our joint venture funds, or sell these properties to third parties, and we intend to continue to contribute and sell properties as opportunities arise and build our private capital business. Our ability to contribute or sell properties on advantageous terms is affected by competition from other owners of properties that are trying to dispose of their properties, current market conditions, including the capitalization rates applicable to our properties, and other factors beyond our control. Our ability to develop and timely lease properties will impact our ability to contribute or sell these properties. Continued access to debt and equity capital, in the private and public markets, by our joint venture funds is necessary in order for us to continue our strategy of contributing properties to these funds. Should we not have sufficient properties available that meet the investment criteria of current or future joint venture funds, or should the joint venture funds have limited or no access to capital on favorable terms, then these contributions could be delayed resulting in adverse effects on our liquidity and on our ability to meet projected earnings levels in a particular reporting period. Failure to meet our projected earnings levels in a particular reporting period could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, distributable cash flow and on the value of our securities. Further, our inability to redeploy the proceeds from our divestitures in accordance with our investment strategy could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, distributable cash flow, our ability to meet our debt obligations in a timely manner and the value of our securities in subsequent periods.
