AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
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 the Americas, 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 currently 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, 2008, the Company owned an approximate 96.1% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 3.9% 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 theday-to-daymanagement 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 ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment ventures provide the Company with an additional source of capital and income. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had significant investments in four consolidated and five unconsolidatedco-investmentventures. Additionally, on June 13, 2008, the Company acquired approximately 19% of additional equity interest in G. Accion, a Mexican real estate company, increasing its equity interest from 39% to 58% and, as a result of its increased ownership, the Company began consolidating G. Accion prospectively. G. Accion owns and develops real estate and provides real estate management and development services in Mexico. Through its investment in G. Accion, the Company holds an equity interest in various other unconsolidated joint ventures totaling approximately $24.5 million. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the additional equity interest in G. Accion was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to valuation of real estate and joint venture interests, restructuring obligations, income taxes and residual goodwill.
 
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 include 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, 2008, the Company owned or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 155.5 million square feet (14.5 million square meters) in 47 markets within 15 countries.

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 statement 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, 2008 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 onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007 and its Quarterly Report onForm 10-Qfor the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
 
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.
 
Reclassifications.  Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.
 
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, an adjustment to the carrying value of the property is made to reduce it 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 aproperty-by-propertybasis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. For properties held for use, 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. For properties held for sale, impairment is recognized when the carrying value of the property is less than its estimated fair value net of costs to sell. 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 of $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, on certain of its investments. No such impairment was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
Comprehensive Income.  The Company reports comprehensive income in its consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income was $70.4 million and $114.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Comprehensive income was $139.5 million and $140.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 or property 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 currencies. 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. 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, goodwill and certain indefinite lived intangible assets, 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 six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements.  In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
 
Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
 
Level 1.  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Level 2.  Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.
 
Level 3.  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes long-term derivative contracts and real estate.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities, but not with respect to its nonfinancial assets (such as real estate, which is not subject to annual fair value measurements) as those provisions of SFAS No. 157 have been deferred. SFAS No. 157 had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows with respect to the provisions of SFAS No. 157 that were adopted.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 159 with no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),Business Combinations, which changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for preacquisition gain and loss contingencies, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51, which clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial

statements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161.

Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments. Some of the loans are cross-collateralized by multiple properties. The secured debt is collateralized by deeds of trust or mortgages on certain properties and is generally non-recourse. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the total gross investment book value of those properties securing the debt was $2.2 billion, including $1.8 billion held in consolidated joint ventures for each period. As of June 30, 2008, $1.0 billion of the secured debt obligations bore interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3% while the remaining $447.6 million bore interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 3.0%).
 
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 $305.0 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 $160.0 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%. The second note has an initial principal borrowing of $40.0 million with a variable interest rate of 81.0 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate. The third note has an initial principal borrowing of $84.0 million and a fixed interest rate of 5.90%. The fourth note has an initial principal borrowing of $21.0 million and bears interest at a variable rate of 135.0 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate.
 
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 a 328.0 million Euro facility agreement. On June 12, 2007, there were 267.0 million Euros (approximately $355.2 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007) of term loans and no acquisition loans outstanding under the facility agreement.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the Operating Partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.2 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and had an average term of 4.6 years. The Company guarantees the Operating Partnership’s obligations with respect to its unsecured senior debt securities. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. The covenants contain 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 at June 30, 2008.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $568.5 million outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest rate of 3.9% and had an average term of 1.8 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, 2008. Other debt also includes a $70.0 million non-recourse credit facility obtained on August 24, 2007 by AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, which had a $60.0 million balance outstanding as of June 30, 2008. The Company also had $443.5 million outstanding in other non-recourse debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Operating Partnership obtained a $325.0 million unsecured term loan facility, which had a balance of $325.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2008, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. In February 2008, the Operating Partnership also obtained a $100.0 million unsecured money market loan with a weighted average interest rate of 3.6% and subsequently paid off the entire balance in June 2008. In June 2008, the Operating Partnership obtained a new $100.0 million unsecured loan with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4%, which had a $100.0 million balance outstanding as of June 30, 2008.
 
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 bore a weighted average interest rate of 4.9% at June 30, 2008. This facility 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 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, 2008, with an annual facility fee of 15.0 basis points. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up

to $550.0 million can be drawn in Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollar. The Operating Partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2008, was $111.9 million and the remaining amount available was $408.9 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $29.2 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, 2008.
 
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 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2008, equaled approximately $517.8 million U.S. dollars and bore a weighted average interest rate of 1.1%. The Company and 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, 2008. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable quarterly, which is based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt, and was 15.0 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2008, was $404.7 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, 2008.
 
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 $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the existing $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The fifth amended and restated credit facility amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility amount to $500.0 million with an option to further increase the facility to $750.0 million, to extend the maturity date to July 2011 and to allow for borrowing in Indian rupees. The Company and 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. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $500.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, and Euros with the ability to add Indian rupees. The line, which matures in July 2011 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased up to $750.0 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 60.0 basis points as of June 30, 2008, 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, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rates in effect at June 30, 2008, was approximately $399.9 million and it bore a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. 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.

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. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51.
 
The Company holds interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company determines consolidation based on standards set forth in FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46) or EITF IssueNo. 04-5(EITF 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 andSOP 78-9,Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. For joint ventures that are variable interest entities as defined under FIN 46 where the Company is not the primary beneficiary, it does not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. Based on the guidance set forth inEITF 04-5,the Company consolidates certain joint venture investments because it exercises significant control

over major operating decisions, such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. The Company is the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) in a number of our consolidated joint venture investments. In all such cases, the limited partners in such investments (or equivalent of limited partners in such investments which are not structured as partnerships) do not have rights described inEITF 04-5,which would preclude consolidation. The Company consolidates certain other joint ventures where it is not the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) because the Company has control over those entities through majority ownership, retention of the majority of economics, and a combination of substantive kick-out rightsand/orsubstantive participating rights. For joint ventures underEITF 04-5where the Company does not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions, but where it exercises significant influence, the Company uses the equity method of accounting and does not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. In such unconsolidated joint ventures, either the Company is not the general partner (or general partner equivalent) and does not hold sufficient capital or any rights that would require consolidation or, alternatively, the Company is the general partner (or the general partner equivalent) and the other partners (or equivalent) hold substantive participating rights that override the presumption of control.

The Company has consolidated joint ventures that have finite lives under the terms of the partnership agreements. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the aggregate book value of the joint venture minority interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was approximately $532.2 million and $517.6 million, respectively. The Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests was approximately $1.1 billion at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. 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

In December 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved a two-year common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate price of $87.7 million at a weighted average price of $49.64 per share. The Company has the authorization to repurchase up to an additional $112.3 million of its common stock under this program.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s stock incentive plans have approximately 8.3 million shares of common stock available for issuance as either stock options or restricted stock grants. The fair value of each option grant is 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 following table presents the assumptions and fair values for grants during the six months ended June 30, 2008:

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 co-investment venture fund in which the Company has an ownership interest and for which the Company acts as manager, 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 dispositionand/orcontribution 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 co-investment 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 sale or contribution of real estate interests or development profits, as appropriate.
 
  • Private Capital.  The Company, through its private capital group, AMB Capital Partners, LLC (“AMB Capital Partners”), provides real estate investment, portfolio management and reporting services to co-investment 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 ventures and AMB Capital Partners’ clients. With respect to the Company’s U.S. and Mexico funds and co-investment ventures, the Company typically earns a 90.0 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, 70.0 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 90.0 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 1.5% of 65% 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 90.0 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management fees of 75.0 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, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company evaluates performance based upon private capital income.

(1) The markets included in U.S. markets are a subset of the Company’s regions defined as East, Southwest and West Central in the Americas. Japan is a subset of our Asia region.
 
(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, 2008, the Company had provided approximately $37.3 million in letters of credit, of which $29.2 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.  Excluding 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, 2008, the Company had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations in the aggregate amount of $729.0 million as described below.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding guarantees in the amount of $37.1 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of June 30, 2008, the Company also guaranteed $64.8 million and $175.0 million on outstanding loans on seven of its consolidated joint ventures and four of its unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
 
Also, the Company has entered into contribution agreements with its unconsolidated co-investment ventures. These contribution agreements require the Company to make additional capital contributions to the applicable co-investment venture fund upon certain defaults by the co-investment venture of certain of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable co-investment venture’s debt obligation and may be greater than the Company’s share of the co-investment 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 total $228.4 million as of June 30, 2008.
 
On May 30, 2008, the Operating Partnership entered into a Euros 142,000,000364-daymulti-currency revolving facility agreement (approximately $223.7 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2008) and related guarantee as loan guarantor with our affiliate AMB Fund Management S.à.r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, certain of our European affiliates, ING Real Estate Finance N.V. and certain of its European affiliates and ING Real Estate Finance N.V. The facility agreement provides that certain of the affiliates of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS may borrow unsecured loans in an aggregate amount of up to Euros 142,000,000 (approximately $223.7 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2008) all of which are repayable 364 days after the date of the facility agreement (unless otherwise agreed). All amounts owed under the facility agreement are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. AMB Fund Management S.á.r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS has indemnified the Operating Partnership for all of its obligations under the guarantee.
 
Performance and Surety Bonds.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $14.2 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of its development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure. 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
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.
 
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. 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 1, 2008, the partnership interests in AMB Partners II, L.P. were contributed to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. by the Company and the City and County of San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System in exchange for partnership interests in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. As a result of this contribution, the City and County of San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System was admitted as a limited partner in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. AMB Partners II, L.P. held 119 industrial buildings totaling 10.3 million square feet, representing $628.0 million of net investments that will be contributed to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. in the third quarter of 2008.
 
On July 18, 2008, the Company acquired the remaining equity interest (approximately 42%) in G. Accion S.A. de C.V., a Mexican real estate company. G. Accion owns and develops real estate, and provides real estate management and development services in Mexico.

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 the 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,” “forecasting,” “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, redevelopment and value-added conversion (including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and financing, our inability to lease properties at all or at favorable rents and terms, public opposition to these activities, as well as the risks associated with our expansion of and increased investment in our development business);
 
  • our failure to contribute properties to our co-investment ventures due to such factors as our inability to acquire, develop, or lease properties that meet the investment criteria of such ventures, or our co-investment ventures’ inability to access debt and equity capital to pay for property contributions or their allocation of available capital to cover other capital requirements such as future redemptions;
 
  • risks of doing business internationally and global expansion, 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 and other financial market fluctuations;
 
  • 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;
 
  • our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations;
 
  • 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 co-investment venture and other debt;
 
  • our failure to obtain necessary financing;

Table of Contents

 
  • 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, including changes in real estate and zoning laws;
 
  • 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;
 
  • environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; 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 onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007, and any amendments thereto. 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®; and High Throughput Distribution®(HTD®).
 
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 generate earnings from our private capital business, which consists of asset management fees and priority distributions, acquisition and development fees, and promoted interests and incentive distributions from our co-investment ventures. Additionally, we generate earnings from the contributions of development properties to our co-investment ventures, from the disposition of projects in ourdevelopment-for-saleand value-added conversion programs and from land sales. Our long-term growth is driven by our ability to:
 
  • maintain and increase occupancy ratesand/orincrease rental rates at our properties;
 
  • continue to develop properties profitably and sell to third parties or contribute to our co-investment ventures; and
 
  • continue to raise third-party equity in our co-investment ventures and to grow our earnings from our private capital business through the contribution of properties or from the acquisition of new properties.

Real Estate Operations
 
Real estate fundamentals in the United States weakened during the quarter. Despite the pullback in the United States, the industrial markets in Canada and Mexico remained healthy, benefiting from sustained demand. Europe and Asia remained relatively solid during the quarter, driven by the increases in trade flows through major gateway seaports and airports. According to data provided by Torto Wheaton Research, availability in the United States was 10.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, up 50.0 basis points from the prior quarter and 100.0 basis points from the second quarter of 2007. Also, according to Torto Wheaton Research, absorption was negative 30.9 million square feet in the second quarter of 2008, whereas construction completions were 44.7 million square feet, up from 34.7 million square feet in the prior quarter.Year-to-date,absorption was negative 43.5 million square feet year, the worst performing period since 2002. We believe that net absorption for the third quarter of 2008 will remain negative with the possibility of positive absorption in the fourth quarter.
 
We think the strongest industrial markets in the United States are the major coastal markets tied to global trade, including Southern California, which is our largest market, Seattle and New York/Northern New Jersey. While demand has weakened notably across the U.S., due primarily to the uncertainty in the economy, rising energy costs and a weaker dollar, we believe our coastal markets will continue to outperform other U.S. industrial markets, particularly in the infill submarkets where our industrial properties are concentrated. Outside the United States, we believe that Toronto and our markets in Mexico will continue to experience steady demand and high occupancy levels, and that customer demand for distribution facilities in our Europe infill markets will remain healthy. In Japan, we expect that customer requirements for upgraded distribution space to modern, large floor-plate facilities will continue to drive demand in our infill markets. With the continued growth of trade flows into and out of China, we believe demand should remain steady in China’s seaport and gateway markets.

(1) Schedule includes owned and managed operating properties which we define as properties in which we have at least a 10% ownership interest, for which we are the property or asset manager, and which we currently intend to hold for the long-term. This excludes development and renovation projects and recently completed development projects available for sale or contribution.
 
(2) Rent changes on renewals and rollovers are calculated as the difference, weighted by square feet, of the net annualized base rent (ABR) due the first month of a term commencement and the net ABR due the last month of the former tenant’s term. If free rent is granted, then the first positive full rent value is used as a point of comparison. The rental amounts exclude base stop amounts, holdover rent and premium rent charges. If either


32

the previous or current lease terms are under 12 months, then they are excluded from this calculation. If the lease is first generation or there is no prior lease for comparison, then it is excluded from this calculation.
 
(3) On a consolidated basis, for the Americas, Europe and Asia, occupancy percentage at period end for 2008 was 95.4%, 100.0% and 99.9%, and trailing four quarter rent change on renewals and rollovers at period end for 2008 was 4.8%, n/a and 7.4% respectively. On a consolidated basis, for the Americas, Europe and Asia, occupancy percentage at period end for 2007 was 96.5%, n/a and 100%, and trailing four quarter rent change on renewals and rollovers at period end for 2007 was 3.6%, n/a and (13.4%), respectively.
 
Our operating portfolio’s average occupancy in the second quarter of 2008 was 94.6%, on an owned and managed basis, a decrease of 30.0 basis points from the prior quarter and from the second quarter of 2007. Rental rates on lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio increased 4.3% for the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2008, which we think reflect the relatively solid real estate fundamentals in our markets tied to global trade. During the quarter, cash-basis same store net operating income, with and without the effect of lease termination fees, grew by 3.3% and 3.7%, respectively, 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.
 
Development Business
 
Our development business consists of conventional development,build-to-suitdevelopment, redevelopment, land sales, and value-added conversions. We generate earnings from our development business through the disposition or contribution of projects from these activities. We expect our development business to be a significant driver of our earnings growth as we expand the pipeline across each category.
 
Despite the cyclical downturn in the United States, which is projected to continue through at least the third quarter of 2008, we believe that customer demand for new industrial space in strategic markets tied to global trade will continue to outpace supply, most notably in major gateway markets in Europe and Asia. To capitalize on this demand, we intend to continue to expand our development business in many of our global markets and expand into new markets around the world that are essential to global trade. Fifty-six percent of our 2008 development starts are outside the United States. Given the uncertain economy in the United States, we have reduced our 2008 speculative development starts in the United States moderately. We also will continue to redevelop existing industrial buildings opportunistically by investing significant amounts of capital to enhance the functionality of the properties to meet current industrial market demands. In addition to our committed development pipeline, we hold a total of 2,563 acres of land for future development or sale, approximately 89% of which is located in the Americas. We currently estimate that these 2,563 acres of land could support approximately 44.6 million square feet of future development. Our long-term capital allocation goal is to have approximately 50% of our owned and managed operating portfolio invested innon-U.S. marketsbased on owned and managed annualized base rent.
 
We believe that our historical investment focus on industrial real estate in some of the world’s most strategic infill markets positions us to create value through the select conversion of industrial properties to higher and better uses (value-added conversions). Generally, we expect to sell to third parties these value-added conversion projects at some point in the re-entitlement/conversion process, thus recognizing the enhanced value of the underlying land that supports the property’s repurposed use. Value-added conversions involve the repurposing of industrial properties to a higher and better use, including office, residential, retail, research & development or manufacturing. Activities required to prepare the property for conversion to a higher and better use may include such activities as rezoning, redesigning, reconstructing and retenanting. The sales price of a value-added conversion project is generally based on the underlying land value, reflecting its ultimate higher and better use and as such, little to no residual value is ascribed to the industrial building. Due to dislocation in the housing industry, we do not believe that this is the optimal time to market certain value-added conversion projects, in particular, those intended to include a residential component. We remain committed to the viability of this development activity and believe that a well-timed approach to executing value-added conversion transactions will enhance stockholder value over the long term.
 
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


33


Table of Contents

on-going operations to the same extent that other corporations that are not real estate investment trusts can. We may need to 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.
 
Private Capital Business
 
In June 2007, we announced the formation of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, our eleventh co-investment fund since our initial public offering in 1997. This Euro-denominated, open-end commingled fund is our ninth active fund. The fund’s investment strategy focuses on acquiring 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 $1.4 billion at June 30, 2008.
 
Going forward, we believe that our co-investment program with private-capital investors will continue to serve as a significant source of revenues and capital for new investments. Through these co-investment 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 ventures; however, we cannot assure you that we will continue to do so. Through contribution of development properties to our co-investment ventures, we expect to recognize value creation from our development pipeline. In anticipation of the formation of future co-investment ventures, we may also hold acquired and newly developed properties for contribution to future funds. Equityholders in two of our co-investment ventures, AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, have a right to request that the ventures redeem their interests under certain conditions. The redemption right of investors in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. is currently exercisable and the redemption right of investors in AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS is exercisable beginning after July 1, 2010. Although such redemption rights generally do not require the co-investment ventures to allocate newly acquired capital to cover redemption activity, there can be no assurance that such allocation will not occur and will not occur in such magnitude that will affect our contribution of properties to the ventures.
 
As of June 30, 2008, we owned approximately 89.9 million square feet of our properties (57.8% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these co-investment ventures or new co-investment ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.

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 onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
THE COMPANY
 
We acquire, develop and operate industrial properties in key distribution markets tied to global trade in the Americas, 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 currently intend to hold for the long-term.
 
Our strategy focuses on providing industrial distribution warehouse space to customers who value the efficient movement of goods through the global supply chain, primarily in the world’s busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained infill locations with dense populations and proximity to airports, seaports and major highway systems. As of June 30, 2008, we owned, or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 155.5 million square feet (14.5 million square meters) in 47 markets within 15 countries. Additionally, as of June 30, 2008, we managed, but did not have a significant ownership interest in, industrial and other properties totaling approximately 1.5 million rentable square feet.

Table of Contents

Of the approximately 155.5 million square feet as of June 30, 2008:
 
  • 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 125.9 million square feet (principally warehouse distribution buildings) that were 95.2% leased;
 
  • on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, we had investments in 55 development projects, which are expected to total approximately 17.3 million square feet upon completion;
 
  • on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, we owned 12 development projects, totaling approximately 4.9 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 0.1 million square feet through a ground lease, which is the location of our global headquarters.
 
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, 2008, we owned an approximate 96.1% 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 itsday-to-daymanagement and control.
 
Our investment strategy generally targets customers whose businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the World Bank, 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 infill 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 infill submarkets within our target markets. Infill 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 the 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 frompoint-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 customers such as air express, logistics and freight forwarding companies that have time-sensitive needs, and that these facilities function best when located in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure, such as major airports and seaports.

Operating Strategy
 
We base our operating strategy on a variety of operational and service offerings, including in-house acquisitions, development, redevelopment, value-added conversion, 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. 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. We intend to continue to increase utilization of internal management resources in target markets to achieve operating efficiencies and expose our customers to the broadening array of AMB service offerings, including access to multiple locations worldwide andbuild-to-suitdevelopments. 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, striving 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, 2008, rent on renewed and re-leased 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, 2008, cash-basis same store net operating income, including lease termination fees, increased by 3.3%, on an owned and managed basis, and 3.7% excluding lease termination fees. Rental rates on lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio increased 4.3% for the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash-basis same store net operating income, including lease termination fees, increased by 5.4%, on an owned and managed basis, and 5.5% excluding lease termination fees. We believe it is important to view real estate as a long-term investment, however, our past results are not necessarily an indication of our 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
 
We think that the 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 and redevelopment expertise, we seek to create value both through new construction and the acquisition and management of redevelopment opportunities. Additionally, we believe that our historical focus on infill locations creates a unique opportunity to enhance stockholder value through the select conversion of industrial properties to higher and better


38


Table of Contents

uses, within our value-added conversion business. Value-added conversion projects generally involve a significant enhancement or a change in use of the property from industrial distribution warehouse to a higher and better use, such as office, retail or residential. New developments, redevelopments and value-added conversions require significant management attention, and development and redevelopment require significant capital investment, to maximize their returns. Completed development and redevelopment properties are generally contributed to our co-investment ventures and held in our owned and managed portfolio or sold to third parties. Value-added conversion properties are generally sold to third parties at some point in the re-entitlement/conversion process, thus recognizing the enhanced value of the underlying land that supports the property’s repurposed use. 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 several years, we have significantly expanded our development staff. We pursue development projects directly and in co-investment 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 leasing and investment sales brokers, as well as third-party local property management firms, which may give us access to additional acquisition opportunities because such managers frequently market properties on behalf of sellers. 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 other transactions, some of which may be significant, that may include, but are not limited to, individual properties, large multi-property portfolios or property owning or real estate-related entities. 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 markets outside the United States based on annualized base rent. 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 valuespeed-to-marketover storage. Specifically, we are focused on customers whose businesses are 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, shipping and logistics industries, our underwriting of markets and investments, our in-house expertise 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 10 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 co-investment ventures. Our co-investment ventures are managed by our private capital group and typically operate under the same investment strategy that we apply to our other operations. Generally, we will own a10-50%interest in our co-investment 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 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 ventures. As of June 30, 2008, we owned approximately 89.9 million square feet of our properties (57.8% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
 
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures. The same store pool includes all properties that are owned as of the end of both the current and prior year reporting periods and excludes development properties stabilized after December 31, 2006 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties that have been substantially complete for at least 12 months).
 
As of June 30, 2008, the same store industrial pool consisted of properties aggregating approximately 101.1 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2008, consisted of three properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, our acquisitions consisted of three properties, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, property divestitures and contributions consisted of six properties, aggregating approximately 1.9 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. The properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2008, consisted of six properties, aggregating approximately 1.7 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, our acquisitions consisted of four properties, aggregating approximately 0.4 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, property divestitures and contributions consisted of ten properties, aggregating approximately 3.2 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. 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.

revenues increased $0.3 million from the prior year for the three-month period as the properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2007, consisted of three properties, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet, while the properties acquired during the full year 2007, representing rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008, consisted of seven properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. The increase in rental revenues from development is primarily due to an increase in the number of projects in our development pipeline and 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 but are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in revenues fromnon-U.S. industrialproperties was primarily due to the acquisition of 1.7 million square feet of operating properties during 2008. The increase in private capital revenues of $32.9 million was primarily due to the recognition of an incentive distribution of $33.0 million for AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and an increase in asset management fees as a result of an increase in total assets under management, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition fees.

Same store properties’ operating expenses increased $0.8 million from the prior year for the three-month period primarily due to increased real estate taxes and road and grounds expense, partially offset by decreases in insurance and rent expenses. U.S. industrial 2007 acquisition property operating costs increased $0.1 million from the prior year for the three-month period as the properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2007, consisted of three properties, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet, while the properties acquired during the full year 2007, representing operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2008, consisted of seven properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. The increase in development operating costs is primarily due to an increase in the number of projects in our development pipeline and increased operations in certain development projects that have been substantially completed. Other industrial expenses include expenses from divested properties that have been contributed to unconsolidated co-investment ventures, and accordingly are not classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, and development properties that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in property operating costs fornon-U.S. industrialproperties was primarily due to the acquisition of 1.7 million square feet of operating properties during 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense

was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate year over year. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, resulting from increased employee headcount.

Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we sold two completed development projects totaling 0.1 million square feet for approximately $4.2 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $1.3 million. In addition, we contributed one completed development project totaling 0.4 million square feet into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., two completed development projects totaling 0.9 million square feet into AMB SGP-Mexico, LLC and one completed development project totaling 0.5 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund, L.P., all unconsolidated co-investment ventures, for a total of $215.3 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $29.1 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, 2007, we sold three development projects, totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet for $20.9 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $3.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed three completed development projects totaling approximately 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 then newly formed AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, both unconsolidated co-investment 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, 2007, we also contributed 4.2 million square feet in operating properties to our then newly formed unconsolidated co-investment venture, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, a Euro-denominated open-ended co-investment 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. The increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated co-investment ventures of approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to growth in our assets under management. Other income decreased approximately $4.6 million from the prior year for the three-month period due primarily to foreign exchange loss and a decrease in interest income. Interest expense increased $3.4 million as result of increased total consolidated debt at June 30, 2008.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues increased $10.9 million from the prior year for the six-month period due primarily to higher rent levels. U.S. industrial 2007 acquisition rental revenues increased $0.8 million from the prior year for the six-month period as the properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2007, consisted of four properties, aggregating approximately 0.4 million square feet, while the properties acquired during the full year 2007, representing rental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008, consisted of seven properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. The increase in rental revenues from development was 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 but are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in private capital revenues of $36.9 million was primarily due to the receipt of an incentive distribution of $33.0 million for AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and an incentive distribution of $1.0 million in connection with the sale of the partnership interests in AMB/Erie, L.P., including the final real estate asset to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and an increase in asset management fees as a result of an increase in total assets under management, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition fees.

Same store properties’ operating expenses increased $1.2 million from the prior year for the six-month period primarily due to increased real estate taxes and road and grounds expenses, partially offset by decreases in insurance and rent expenses. U.S. industrial 2007 acquisition property operating costs increased $0.2 million from the prior year for the six-month period as the properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2007, consisted of four properties, aggregating approximately 0.4 million square feet, while the properties acquired during the full the year 2007, representing operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2008, consisted of seven properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. The increase in development operating costs is primarily due to increased operations in certain development projects that have been substantially completed. Other industrial expenses include expenses from divested properties that have been contributed to unconsolidated co-investment ventures, and accordingly are not classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, and development properties that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in property operating costs fornon-U.S. industrialproperties was primarily due to the acquisition of 1.7 million square feet of operating properties during 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate year over year. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, resulting from increased employee headcount. The impairment loss during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was taken on a non-core asset as a result of decreased leasing activities and changes in the economic environment.

Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we sold three completed development projects totaling 0.1 million square feet for approximately $13.0 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $2.3 million. In addition, we contributed three completed development projects totaling 1.4 million square feet into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., one completed development project totaling 0.5 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., one completed development project totaling 0.1 million square feet into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, and two completed development projects totaling 0.9 million square feet into AMB SGP-Mexico LLC, all unconsolidated co-investment ventures, for a total of $328.0 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $46.0 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. 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 then newly formed AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS and AMB DFS Fund I, LLC, four of our unconsolidated co-investment 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, 2008, we contributed an operating property for approximately $66.2 million, aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet, into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. As a result, we recognized a gain of $20.0 million on the contribution, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed property acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we also contributed 4.2 million square feet in operating properties, to our then 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. The increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated co- investment ventures of approximately $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to growth in our assets under management. Other income decreased approximately $5.7 million from the prior year for the six-month period due primarily to foreign exchange loss and a decrease in interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Balance Sheet Strategy.  In general, we use unsecured lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred stock and common equity (issued by usand/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 the co-investment ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to capitalize our co-investment ventures.
 
We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of properties will include:
 
  • cash on hand and cash flow from operations;
 
  • private capital from co-investment partners;
 
  • net proceeds from contributions of properties and completed development projects to our co-investment ventures;
 
  • net proceeds from the sales of development projects, value-added conversion projects and land to third parties;
 
  • net proceeds from divestitures of properties;
 
  • 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
 
  • proceeds from equity (common and preferred) or debt securities offerings.
 
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will include:
 
  • development, expansion and renovation of properties;
 
  • acquisitions;
 
  • debt service;
 
  • dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred stock and limited partnership units; and
 
  • working capital.

Cash Flows.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash provided by operating activities was $127.6 million as compared to $131.6 million for the same period in 2007. This change is primarily due to gains from sales and contributions of real estate interests, net, and changes in our asset and liabilities offset by an increase in operating distributions received by unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Cash used in investing activities was $397.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to cash used for investing activities of $252.2 million for the same period in 2007. This change is primarily due to an increase in cash used for property acquisitions offset by changes in loans made to affiliates and a decrease in net proceeds from divestiture of real estate and securities. Cash provided by financing activities was $384.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $177.3 million for the same period in 2007. This change is due primarily to an increase in borrowings on other debt and credit facilities. This activity was partially offset by the repurchase and retirement of common stock.
 
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.

Property Divestitures.  During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we sold an approximate 0.1 million square foot industrial operating property for a sale price of $3.6 million, with a resulting net gain of $0.7 million. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized approximately $0.1 million in gains resulting primarily from the additional value received from prior dispositions. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we sold an approximate 0.1 million square foot industrial operating property for a sale price of $3.6 million, with a resulting net gain of $0.7 million, and we also recognized a deferred gain of approximately $1.1 million on the divestiture of one industrial building, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for a price of $3.5 million, which was disposed of on December 31, 2007. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized approximately $0.4 million in gains resulting primarily from the additional value received from the disposition of properties in 2007 and 2005. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we did not divest ourselves of any industrial properties.
 
Gains from Sale or Contribution of Real Estate Interests.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we contributed an operating property for approximately $66.2 million, aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet, into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. We recognized a gain of $20.0 million on the contribution, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed property acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed approximately 4.2 million square feet in operating properties, to our then newly formed unconsolidated co-investment venture, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, aEuro-denominatedopen-ended co-investment 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 gains 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.
 
Properties Held for Contribution.  As of June 30, 2008, we held for contribution to co-investment ventures 30 properties with an aggregate net book value of $1.4 billion which, when contributed, will reduce our average ownership interest in these projects from approximately 90% to an expected range of15-20%.
 
Properties Held for Divestiture.  As of June 30, 2008, we held for divestiture nine industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $85.0 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 or value-added conversion

programs. 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 Ventures.  Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment 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 hold interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We determine consolidation based on standards set forth in FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46) or EITF IssueNo. 04-5(EITF 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 andSOP 78-9,Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. For joint ventures that are variable interest entities as defined under FIN 46 where we are not the primary beneficiary, we do not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. Based on the guidance set forth inEITF 04-5,we consolidate certain joint venture investments because we exercise significant control over major operating decisions, such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. We are the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) in a number of our consolidated joint venture investments. In all such cases, the limited partners in such investments (or equivalent of limited partners in such investments which are not structured as partnerships) do not have rights described inEITF 04-5,which would preclude consolidation. We consolidate certain other joint ventures where we are not the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) because we have control over those entities through majority ownership, retention of the majority of economics, and a combination of substantive kick-out rightsand/orsubstantive participating rights. For joint ventures underEITF 04-5where we do not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions, but where we exercise significant influence, we use the equity method of accounting and do not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. In such unconsolidated joint ventures, either we are not the general partner (or general partner equivalent) and do not hold sufficient capital or any rights that would require consolidation or, alternatively, we are the general partner (or the general partner equivalent) and the other partners (or equivalent) hold substantive participating rights that override the presumption of control.
 
Third-party equity interests in the consolidated co-investment ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2008, we owned approximately 89.9 million square feet of our properties (57.8% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We may make additional investments through these co-investment ventures or newco-investmentventures in the future and presently plan to do so.

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. On June 30, 2007, we exercised our option to purchase the remaining equity interest held by an unrelated third party, based on the fair market value as stipulated in the joint venture agreement, in AMB Pier One, LLC, for a nominal amount. As a result, the investment was consolidated as of June 30, 2007.

In addition, as of June 30, 2008, 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 international airports. These equity investments of

approximately $1.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
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, 2008: 1,595,337 shares of series D cumulative redeemable preferred, of which none 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.
 
In December 2007, our board of directors approved a two-year common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate price of $87.7 million at a weighted average price of $49.64 per share. We have the authorization to repurchase up to an additional $112.3 million of our common stock under this program.
 
Debt.  In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend over the long term 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, 2008, our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio was 42.1%. (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 ventures with secured debt at a loan-to-value ratio of50-65% per our co-investment 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, 2008, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.5 billion, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $3.5 million. Of the $1.5 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 10.4% per annum (with a weighted average rate of 5.3%) and final maturity dates ranging from July 2008 (extended to July 2009) to February 2024. As of June 30, 2008, $1.0 billion of the secured debt obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3%, while the remaining $447.6 million bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 3.0%).
 
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 $305.0 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 $160.0 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%. The second is a $40.0 million note with an interest rate of 81.0 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 $21.0 million and bears interest at a rate of 135.0 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the operating partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.2 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and had an average term of 4.6 years. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. The covenants contain 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. In March 2008, the operating partnership obtained a $325.0 million unsecured term loan facility, which had a balance of $325.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2008, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. In February 2008, the operating partnership also obtained a $100.0 million unsecured money market loan with a weighted average interest rate of 3.6% and subsequently paid off the entire balance in June 2008. In June 2008, the operating partnership obtained a new $100.0 million unsecured loan with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4%, which had a $100 million balance outstanding as of June 30, 2008.

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 (includes Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollar denominated borrowings) unsecured revolving credit facility, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 4.9% at June 30, 2008. This facility 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, 2008, with an annual facility fee of 15.0 basis points. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollars. The operating partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2008, was $111.9 million and the remaining amount available was $408.9 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $29.2 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 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect at June 30, 2008, equaled approximately $517.8 million U.S. dollars and bore a weighted average interest rate of 1.1%. 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 own 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, 2008. 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, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2008, was $404.7 million. 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.
 
On July 16, 2007, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and the operating partnership, each acting as a borrower, with us and the operating partnership as guarantors, entered into a fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the existing $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The fifth amended and restated credit facility amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility amount to $500.0 million with an option to further increase the facility to $750.0 million, to extend the maturity date to July 2011 and to allow for future borrowing in Indian rupees. We, 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 our credit facility. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $500.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong

dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, and Euros with the ability to add Indian rupees. The line, which matures in July 2011 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased to up to $750.0 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 60.0 basis points as of June 30, 2008, 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, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility was approximately $399.9 million and bore a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. 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 June 12, 2007, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS assumed, and we were released from all of our obligations and liabilities under a 328.0 million Euro facility agreement. On June 12, 2007, there were 267.0 million Euros (approximately $355.2 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007) of term loans and no acquisition loans outstanding under the facility agreement.

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from operations, will not allow us to pay 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.
 
Cash flows generated by our business were sufficient to cover our dividends and distributions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Cash flows from our real estate operations and private capital businesses, which are included in “Net cash provided by operating activities” in our Cash Flows from Operating Activities and cash flows from our real estate development and operations businesses which are included in “Net proceeds from

Cash Flows from Operating Activities alone were not sufficient to pay such dividends and distributions, as shown in the table below. We use proceeds from our businesses included in Cash Flows from Investing Activities (specifically, the proceeds from sales and contributions of properties as part of our real estate development and operations businesses) to fund dividends and distributions not covered by Cash Flows from Operating Activities.

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 Ventures.  Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment 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, 2008, we had investments in co-investment 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 ventures of $302.3 million and a gross book value of $5.2 billion. As of June 30, 2008, we may make additional capital contributions to current and planned co-investment ventures of up to $123.0 million (using the exchange rates at June 30, 2008) pursuant to the terms of the co-investment 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 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 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 when 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 establishes annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of our properties. 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; and
 
  • tax liabilities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
Standby Letters of Credit.  As of June 30, 2008, we had provided approximately $37.3 million in letters of credit, of which $29.2 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.  Excluding 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, 2008, we had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations in the aggregate amount of $729.0 million as described below.
 
As of June 30, 2008, we had outstanding guarantees in the amount of $37.1 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of June 30, 2008, we also guaranteed $64.8 million and $175.0 million on outstanding loans on seven of our consolidated joint ventures and four of our unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
 
Also, we have entered into contribution agreements with certain of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. These contribution agreements require us to make additional capital contributions to the applicable co-investment venture fund upon certain defaults by the co-investment venture of certain of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable co-investment venture’s debt obligation and may be greater than our share of the co-investment 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 total $228.4 million as of June 30, 2008.
 
On May 30, 2008, the operating partnership entered into a Euros 142,000,000364-daymulti-currency revolving facility agreement (approximately $223.7 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2008) and related guarantee as loan guarantor with our affiliate AMB Fund Management S.à.r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, certain of our European affiliates, ING Real Estate Finance N.V. and certain of its European affiliates and ING Real Estate Finance N.V. The facility agreement provides that certain of the affiliates of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS may borrow unsecured loans in an aggregate amount of up to Euros 142,000,000 (approximately $223.7 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 30, 2008) all of which are repayable 364 days after the date of the facility agreement (unless otherwise agreed). All amounts owed under the facility agreement are guaranteed by operating partnership. AMB Fund Management S.á.r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS has indemnified the operating partnership for all of its obligations under the guarantee.
 
Performance and Surety Bonds.  As of June 30, 2008, we had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $14.2 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of our development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure. 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
 
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Funds From Operations Per Share and Unit (“FFOPS”).  We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider funds from operations, or FFO, and FFO per share and unit, or FFOPS, to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. We define FFOPS as FFO per fully diluted weighted average share of our common stock and operating partnership units. We calculate FFO as net income, calculated in accordance with U.S. 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 co-investment ventures. We do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. We include the gains from development, including those from value-added conversion projects, before depreciation recapture, as a component of FFO. We believe that value-added conversion dispositions are in substance land sales and as such should be included in FFO, consistent with the real estate investment trust industry’s long standing practice to include gains on the sale of land in FFO. However, our interpretation of FFO or FFOPS may not be consistent with the views of others in the real estate investment trust industry, who may consider it to be a divergence from the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) definition, and may not be comparable to FFO or FFOPS reported by other real estate investment trusts that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
 
In connection with the formation of a co-investment venture, we may warehouse assets that are acquired with the intent to contribute these assets to the newly formed venture. Some of the properties held for contribution may, under certain circumstances, be required to be depreciated under U.S. GAAP. If this circumstance arises, we intend to include in our calculation of FFO gains or losses related to the contribution of previously depreciated real estate to co-investment ventures. Although such a change, if instituted, will be a departure from the current NAREIT definition, we believe such a calculation of FFO will better reflect the value created as a result of the contributions. To date, we have not included gains or losses from the contribution of previously depreciated warehoused assets in FFO.
 
AMB believes that FFO and FFOPS are meaningful supplemental measures of its operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization

Table of Contents

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, FFO and FFOPS are supplemental measures of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that exclude historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe that the use of FFO and FFOPS, combined with the required U.S. 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 and FFOPS to be useful measures for reviewing 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 and FFOPS 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 and FFOPS are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, these measures do not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and FFOPS also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor are FFO or FFOPS necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements.

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 SS NOI 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, 2006 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties that have been substantially complete for at least 12 months). In deriving SS NOI, we define net operating income as rental revenues, including reimbursements, less property operating expenses, both of which are calculated in accordance with GAAP. Property operating expenses exclude depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. In calculating cash-basis SS NOI, we exclude straight-line rents and amortization of lease intangibles from the calculation of SS NOI. We consider cash-basis SS NOI 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 SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI help the investing public compare our operating performance with that of other companies. While SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI 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. SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI 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 SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating these measures.

This excludes development and renovation projects and recently completed development projects available for sale or contribution.
 
(2) In addition to owned square feet as of June 30, 2008, we managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, approximately 0.4 million additional square feet of properties. As of June 30, 2008, one of our subsidiaries also managed approximately 1.1 million additional square feet of properties representing the IAT portfolio on behalf of the IAT Air Cargo Facilities Income Fund. As of June 30, 2008, we also had investments in 7.3 million square feet of operating properties through our investments in non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures and 0.1 million square feet, which is the location of our global headquarters.
 
(3) On a consolidated basis, we had approximately 79.9 million rentable square feet with an occupancy rate of 95.5% at June 30, 2008.
 
(4) Rent changes on renewals and rollovers are calculated as the difference, weighted by square feet, of the net ABR due the first month of a term commencement and the net ABR due the last month of the former tenant’s term. If free rent is granted, then the first positive full rent value is used as a point of comparison. The rental amounts exclude base stop amounts, holdover rent and premium rent charges. If either the previous or current lease terms are under 12 months, then they are excluded from this calculation. If the lease is first generation or there is no prior lease for comparison, then it is excluded from this calculation.
 
(5) Second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions per square foot are the total cost of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other leasing costs incurred during leasing of second generation space divided by the total square feet leased. Costs incurred prior to leasing available space are not included until such space is leased. Second generation space excludes newly developed square footage or square footage vacant at acquisition.

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, 2008, we had one outstanding interest rate swap and two outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $595.8 million (in U.S. dollars). 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 $5.7 million as of June 30, 2008 (dollars in thousands):

(1) Represents 65.4% of all outstanding debt at June 30, 2008.
 
(2) Represents 34.6% of all outstanding debt at June 30, 2008.
 
If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased or decreased by 10%, then the increase or decrease in interest cost on our variable rate debt would be $4.0 million (net of the swap) annually. As of June 30, 2008, the book value and the estimated fair value of our total consolidated debt (both secured and unsecured) was $4.1 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, based on our estimate of current market interest rates.
 
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, variable rate debt comprised 34.6% and 39.0%, respectively, of all our outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $1.4 billion and $1.4 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
 
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, 2008 were one interest rate swap hedging cash flows of variable rate borrowings based on U.S. Libor (USD) and two currency forward contracts hedging intercompany loans.

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, other than Mexico, is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity or property 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 gains resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and totaled $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
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. 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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, total unrealized and realized losses from remeasurement and translation included in our results of operations were $4.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
 
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 byRule 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.
