NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2006
(unaudited)
 
1.   Organization and Formation of the Company
 
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of its initial public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Company, through its controlling interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. The Company uses the terms “industrial properties” or “industrial buildings” to describe various types of industrial properties in its portfolio and uses these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput Distribution® (“HTD®”) facilities; or any combination of these terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries.
 
As of September 30, 2006, the Company owned an approximate 95.8% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 4.2% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred unit distributions based on the respective partners’ ownership interests. Certain properties are owned by the Company through limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities. The ownership of such properties through such entities does not materially affect the Company’s overall ownership interests in the properties.
 
Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide the Company with an additional source of capital and income. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had investments in seven consolidated (including one consolidated joint venture in liquidation) and two unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures.
 
AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AMB Capital Partners”), provides real estate investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that include development projects available for sale or contribution to third parties and incremental income programs. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that also includes development projects available for sale or contribution to third parties. AMB Capital Partners, Headlands Realty Corporation and IMD Holding Corporation are wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company and the Operating Partnership.
 
As of September 30, 2006, the Company owned or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 124.8 million rentable square feet (11.6 million square meters) and 1,109 buildings in 42 markets within eleven countries. Additionally, as of September 30, 2006, the Company managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial and other properties, totaling approximately 1.5 million rentable square feet. The Company’s strategy is to be a leading provider of distribution properties in supply-constrained submarkets located near key international passenger and cargo airports, highway systems and seaports in major metropolitan areas of North America, Europe and Asia. These submarkets are generally tied to global trade.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Of the approximately 124.8 million rentable square feet as of September 30, 2006:
 
  •  on a consolidated basis, the Company owned or partially owned 939 industrial buildings, principally warehouse distribution buildings, encompassing approximately 93.6 million rentable square feet that were 95.9% leased;
 
  •  on a consolidated basis, the Company had investments in 45 industrial development projects which are expected to total approximately 13.4 million rentable square feet upon completion;
 
  •  on a consolidated basis, the Company owned eight development projects totaling approximately 2.8 million rentable square feet that are available for sale or contribution; and
 
  •  through unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company had investments in 90 industrial operating properties, totaling approximately 14.8 million rentable square feet, and one industrial operating property, totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet which is available for sale or contribution.
 
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 have been condensed or omitted.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 included on Form 8-K dated June 21, 2006.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investments in Real Estate.  Investments in real estate and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. The Company also regularly reviews the impact of above or below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs for all new acquisitions, and records an intangible asset or liability accordingly. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings. As a result of leasing activity and the economic environment, the Company re-evaluated the carrying value of its investments and recorded an impairment charge of $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 on certain of its investments.
 
Reclassifications.  Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Comprehensive Income.  The Company reports comprehensive income in its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income was $30.9 million and $31.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Comprehensive income was $135.6 million and $115.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
International Operations.  The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States and Mexico is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity is located. The Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. The Company translates income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. These gains (losses) are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
 
The Company’s international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period, and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. These gains (losses) are included in the Company’s results of operations.
 
The Company also records gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets.  The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions. As prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, goodwill and certain indefinite lived intangible assets, including excess reorganization value and certain trademarks, are no longer amortized, but are subject to at least annual impairment testing. The Company tests annually (or more often, if necessary) for impairment under SFAS No. 142. The Company determined that there was no impairment to goodwill and intangible assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements.  In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. At this time, the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN No. 48 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” in order to address the SEC Staff’s concerns over registrant’s exclusive reliance on either the “iron curtain” or balance sheet approach or the “rollover” or income statement approach in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 states that registrants should use both a balance sheet and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement and contains guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach. SAB No. 108 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. At this time, the Company does not expect the adoption of SAB No. 108 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Partners Have Certain Rights. Under this consensus, a sole general partner is presumed to control a limited partnership (or similar entity) and should consolidate that entity unless the limited partners possess kick-out rights or other substantive participating rights as described in EITF 96-16, Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights. The Company adopted the consolidation requirements of this consensus in the third quarter of 2005 for all new or modified agreements and adopted the consensus for existing agreements during the first quarter of 2006. There was not a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments. Some of the secured loans are cross-collateralized by multiple properties. The secured debt is secured by deeds of trust or mortgages on certain properties and is generally non-recourse. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the total gross investment book value of those properties securing the debt was $3.8 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, including $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, in consolidated joint ventures. As of September 30, 2006, $1.6 billion of the secured debt obligations bore interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% while the remaining $297.9 million bore interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%).
 
As of September 30, 2006, the Operating Partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.2 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% and had an average term of 4.6 years. These unsecured senior debt securities include $300.0 million in notes issued in June 1998, $225.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnership’s 2000 medium-term note program, $325.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnership’s 2002 medium-term note program, $175.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnership’s 2006 medium-term note program and approximately $112.5 million of 5.094% Notes Due 2015, which were issued to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America on July 11, 2005 in a private placement, in exchange for the cancelled $100.0 million of notes that were issued in June 1998 resulting in a discount of approximately $12.5 million. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. Also included is a $100.0 million term loan that matures in December 2006, which the Company currently expects to re-finance. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants as of September 30, 2006.

As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $79.9 million outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.8% and had an average term of 6.1 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 September 30, 2006. The Company also had $14.9 million outstanding in other non-recourse debt.
 
On June 1, 2006, the Operating Partnership entered into a third amended and restated $550.0 million (includes Euros, Yen or U.S. Dollar denominated borrowings) unsecured revolving credit agreement that replaced its then-existing $500.0 million credit facility, which was to mature on June 1, 2007. The Company is a guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The line, which matures on June 1, 2010, 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 September 30, 2006, with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. The four year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Yen or British Pounds Sterling. The Operating Partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $342.2 million and the remaining amount available was $196.3 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $11.5 million. The outstanding balance included borrowings denominated in Euros, which, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, equaled approximately $332.2 million in U.S. dollars. 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 September 30, 2006.
 
On June 23, 2006, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and as the initial borrower, entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a 45.0 billion Yen unsecured revolving credit facility, which, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, equaled approximately $380.8 million U.S. dollars. This replaced the 35.0 billion Yen unsecured revolving credit facility executed on June 29, 2004, as previously amended, which using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, equaled approximately $296.2 million U.S. dollars. The Company, along with the Operating Partnership, guarantees the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the Operating Partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The credit facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option. The credit facility can be increased to up to 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, equaled approximately $465.4 million U.S. dollars. 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 September 30, 2006. 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 September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, was $227.7 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 September 30, 2006.
 
On June 13, 2006, the Operating Partnership and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries entered into a fourth amended and restated credit agreement for a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which replaced the third amended and restated credit agreement for a $250.0 million unsecured credit facility. On February 16, 2006, the third amended and restated credit agreement replaced the then-existing $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that was to mature in June 2008. The Company, along with the Operating Partnership, guarantees the obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the Company or the Operating Partnership that are selected by the Operating Partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to the credit facility. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. The line, which matures in February 2010 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased to up to $350.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt, which was 60 basis points as of September 30, 2006, 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 September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on this credit facility was approximately $231.8 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios by the Operating Partnership, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at September 30, 2006.

7.   Minority Interests in Consolidated Joint Ventures and Preferred Units

 
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 46.8 million square feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments are consolidated because the Company exercises significant rights over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. These joint venture investments do not meet the variable interest entity criteria under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
 
Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. The Company’s co-investment joint ventures are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management and, in some cases, the renovation, expansion and development of industrial buildings in target markets in North America.
 
The Company’s consolidated co-investment joint ventures’ total investment and property debt at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (dollars in thousands) were:

The Company has consolidated joint ventures that have finite lives under the terms of the partnership agreements. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the aggregate book value of the minority interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was approximately $977.5 million and $853.6 million, respectively, and the Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests were approximately $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. However, there can be no assurance that the aggregate settlement value of the interests will be as such. The aggregate settlement value is based on the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds that the Company would distribute to its joint venture partners upon dissolution, as required under the terms of the respective joint venture agreements. There can be no assurance that the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds that the Company distributes upon dissolution will be the same as the actual liquidation values of such assets, liabilities and proceeds distributed upon dissolution. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures will affect the Company’s estimate of the aggregate settlement value. The joint venture agreements do not limit the amount to which the minority joint venture partners would be entitled in the event of liquidation of the assets and liabilities and dissolution of the respective joint ventures.
 
Effective January 27, 2006, Robert Pattillo Properties, Inc. exercised its rights under its Put Agreement, dated September 24, 2004, with the Operating Partnership, and sold all 729,582 of its 5.00% Series N Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units in one of the Company’s subsidiaries, AMB Property II, L.P., to the Operating Partnership for an aggregate price of $36.6 million, including accrued and unpaid distributions.

11.   Segment Information

 
The Company operates industrial properties and manages its business by geographic markets. Such industrial properties consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple customers, and are typically comprised of multiple buildings that are leased to customers engaged in various types of businesses. The Company’s geographic markets for industrial properties are managed separately because each market requires different operating, pricing and leasing strategies. 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.
 
The U.S. target markets are listed on the table below. The other U.S. target markets category includes Austin, Baltimore/Washington D.C., Boston and Minneapolis. The other U.S. non-target markets category captures all of the Company’s other U.S. markets, except for those markets listed individually in the table. For the segment information included below, the International target markets category includes Belgium, China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands.

(1) 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 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.

12.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commitments
 
Lease Commitments.  The Company holds operating ground leases on land parcels at its on-tarmac facilities, leases on office spaces for corporate use, and a leasehold interest that it holds for investment purposes. The remaining lease terms are from one to 56 years. Buildings and improvements are being amortized ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.
 
Standby Letters of Credit.  As of September 30, 2006, the Company had provided approximately $25.2 million in letters of credit, of which $11.5 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.  Other than parent guarantees associated with the unsecured debt, as of September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount of $125.0 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of September 30, 2006, the Company guaranteed $23.5 million and $2.3 million on outstanding loans on two of its consolidated joint ventures and one of its unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
 
Performance and Surety Bonds.  As of September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $4.9 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of its development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such as grading, sewers and streets. Performance and surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from real estate developers. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with the Operating Partnership. From time to time in the normal course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into various contracts with third parties that may obligate it to make payments, pay promotes or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.
 
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, certain of the Company’s properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity; therefore, 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.
 
Various properties that the Company owns or leases in New Orleans, Louisiana and South Florida suffered damage in 2005 as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. Although the Company expects that its insurance will cover losses arising from this damage in excess of the industry standard deductibles paid by the Company, there can be no assurance the Company will be reimbursed for all losses incurred. Management is not aware of circumstances associated with these losses that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results from operations.
 
Captive Insurance Company.  In December 2001, the Company formed a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (“Arcata”), which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under the Company’s third-party policies. The Company capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience at the Company’s properties. Annually, the Company engages an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Arcata have a retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses, deductibles and reserves, are less than premiums collected, the excess may be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, subject to certain limitations, if expenses, including losses, deductibles and reserves, are greater than premiums collected, an additional premium will be charged. As

with all recoverable expenses, differences between estimated and actual insurance premiums will be recognized in the subsequent year. Through this structure, the Company believes that it has more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.
 
13.   Stock Incentive Plans
 
Stock Incentive Plans.  The Company has stock option and incentive plans (“Stock Incentive Plans”) for the purpose of attracting and retaining eligible officers, directors and employees. The Company has reserved for issuance 18,950,000 shares of common stock under its Stock Incentive Plans. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had 7,038,867 non-qualified options outstanding granted to certain directors, officers and employees. Each option is exchangeable for one share of the Company’s common stock. Each option’s exercise price is equal to the Company’s market price on the date of grant. The options have an original ten-year term and generally vest pro rata in annual installments over a three to five-year period from the date of grant.
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment, on January 1, 2006. The Company opted to utilize the modified prospective method of transition in adopting SFAS No. 123R. The effect of this change from applying the original expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, had an immaterial effect on income before minority interests and discontinued operations, income from continuing operations, net income and earnings per share. The effect of this change from applying the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 had no effect on cash flow from operating and financing activities. The Company recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the amount of $0.2 million as of January 1, 2006 to reflect the change in accounting for forfeitures. The Company values stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes this value as an expense over the vesting periods. Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is applied to all options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company will recognize the associated expense over the three to five-year vesting periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, under SFAS No. 123R or SFAS No. 123, related stock option expense was $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, related stock option expense was $4.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock and recognizes this value as an expense over the vesting periods. During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, related restricted stock compensation expense was $2.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, related restricted stock compensation expense was $10.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $6.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options granted under the Stock Incentive Plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1 year. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
 
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 is $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, higher than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2006 would have been the same as the reported numbers at $0.34 and $0.33, respectively, if the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123R. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have decreased to $1.43 and $1.38, respectively, if the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123R.
 
SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows resulting from tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. The Company does not have any such excess tax benefits.
 
The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination 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 assumptions are used for grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively: dividend yields of 3.5% and 4.5%; expected volatility of 17.9% and 17.5%; risk-free interest rates of 4.6% and 3.8%; and expected lives of six and seven years, respectively.

14.   Subsequent Events
 
On October 17, 2006, the Company entered into a merchant development joint venture with GE Real Estate (“GE”). The joint venture will have total investment capacity of approximately $500.0 million to pursue development-for-sale opportunities primarily in U.S. markets other than those the Company identifies as its target markets. GE and the Company have committed $425.0 million and $75.0 million of equity, respectively.
 
On November 1, 2006, the Company acquired a 2.1 million square foot portfolio consisting of 25 airfreight buildings and 131 acres of airport-adjacent developable land for a total investment of $181.0 million. This acquisition expands the company’s market presence at three U.S. international airports: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; Dallas Fort Worth International Airport; and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. The operating properties have been acquired for and contributed to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, AMB’s open-end U.S. co-investment fund. The purchase price includes the assumption of $68.0 million of debt and includes the issuance of $64.0 million in operating partnership units in AMB Property II, L.P. priced at $56.32 per unit.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Some of the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, and you should not rely on the forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements might not occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or the negative of these words and phrases, or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of whether, or the time at which, such performance or results will be achieved. There is no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them.
 
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
 
  •  changes in general economic conditions or in the real estate sector;
 
  •  defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers or renewal at lower than expected rent;
 
  •  difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms and the failure of acquisitions to perform as we expect;
 
  •  risks and uncertainties affecting property development and renovation (including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and financing and public opposition to these activities);
 
  •  risks of doing business internationally, including unfamiliarity with new markets and currency risks;
 
  •  a downturn in the U.S., California or the global economy or real estate conditions;
 
  •  losses in excess of our insurance coverage;
 
  •  our failure to divest of properties on advantageous terms or to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures;
 
  •  unknown liabilities acquired in connection with acquired properties or otherwise;
 
  •  risks associated with using debt to fund acquisitions and development, including re-financing risks;
 
  •  our failure to obtain necessary financing;
 
  •  changes in local, state and federal regulatory requirements;
 
  •  increases in real property tax rates;
 
  •  increases in interest rates and operating costs or greater than expected capital expenditures;
 
  •  environmental uncertainties; and
 
  •  our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

GENERAL
 
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997, and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with our initial tax return for the year ended December 31, 1997. AMB Property Corporation and AMB Property, L.P. were formed shortly before the consummation of our initial public offering.
 
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, and from partnership distributions and fees from our private capital business. We also produce earnings from the disposition of operating assets that no longer fit the company’s strategy, from the disposition of projects in our development-for-sale program and from the contributions of properties to our co-investment joint ventures. Our long-term growth is driven by our ability to maintain and increase occupancy rates or increase rental rates at our properties, and by our ability to continue to acquire and develop new properties.
 
National industrial markets continued to improve during the third quarter of 2006, according to Torto Wheaton Research, the tenth consecutive quarter of improving supply demand dynamics in the U.S., with preliminary figures indicating a 20 basis points improvement in availability to 9.6%. We believe the strongest industrial markets in the U.S. are the coastal gateway markets tied to global trade, including Los Angeles, our largest market, Miami, New York/New Jersey (with the exception of the Exit 8A submarket), and to a lesser degree, Seattle and most of the San Francisco Bay Area. We believe the operating environment in our U.S. on-tarmac business remains good with improving cargo volumes and essentially no new supply.
 
Investor demand for industrial property (as supported by our observation of strong national sales volumes and declining acquisition capitalization rates) has remained consistently strong over the past six years. We believe we capitalized on this demand for acquisition property by accelerating the repositioning of our portfolio through the disposition of non-core properties. We plan to continue selling selected assets on an opportunistic basis or that no longer fit our strategic investment objectives, but we believe we have substantially achieved our repositioning goals.

Our industrial operating portfolio occupancy rate was 95.9% at September 30, 2006, as compared to 95.4% at June 30, 2006. Rental rates on lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio increased 9.9% during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as compared to declines of 0.9% in the prior quarter and 7.6% in the third quarter of 2005. The 9.9% rent rate increase on renewals and rollovers during the quarter was due primarily to a 110,000 square foot lease renewal in the San Francisco Bay Area that took effect during the quarter, but was signed in 2000. Excluding this lease, rents on renewals and rollovers for our operating portfolio increased 0.2% during the quarter, the first positive rent change on lease renewals and rollovers since the first quarter of 2002. We currently expect that rent changes on renewals and rollovers in our operating portfolio will be about flat for the year. Market rents continue to rebound from their lows and in many of our hub and gateway markets are back to or above their prior peak levels of 2001.
 
While we believe that industrial market rents in the San Francisco Bay Area are improving as well, they have not yet fully recovered. A significant portion of the square feet that renewed or rolled over in the third quarter was in leases that commenced between 1999 and 2001 when rental rates were at their prior peaks. Excluding the effect of the 110,000 square foot lease renewal in the San Francisco Bay Area, rents on lease renewals and rollovers in the San Francisco Bay Area declined 19.8%. Without the effect of the San Francisco portfolio, rents on lease renewals and rollovers in the remainder of the portfolio increased 2.4% during this quarter, which we believe reflects the generally positive trends in U.S. industrial space availability.

Occupancy levels in our portfolio were 550 basis points in excess of the national industrial market, as determined by Torto Wheaton Research, by pricing lease renewals and new leases with sensitivity to local market conditions. During the prior periods of decreasing or stabilizing rental rates, we strove to sign leases with shorter terms to prevent locking in lower rent levels for long periods and to be prepared to sign new, longer-term leases during periods of growing rental rates. When we sign leases of shorter duration, we attempt to limit overall leasing costs and capital expenditures by offering different grades of tenant improvement packages, appropriate to the lease term.
 
We expect development to be a significant driver of our earnings growth as we expand our land and development pipeline, and contribute completed development projects into our co-investment program and recognize development profits. We believe that development, renovation and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should generally continue to provide us with attractive investment opportunities at a higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of existing properties. We believe that our development opportunities in Mexico, Japan and China are particularly attractive given the current lack of supply of modern industrial distribution facilities in the major metropolitan markets of these countries. Prior to our global expansion, our development pipeline was $106.8 million at the end of 2002. During our global expansion, we have increased our development pipeline to approximately $1.2 billion at September 30, 2006. In addition to our committed development pipeline, we hold a total of 1,671 acres for future development or sale. We believe these 1,671 acres of land could support approximately 28.6 million square feet of future development.
 
Going forward, we believe that our co-investment program with private-capital investors will continue to serve as a significant source of revenues and capital for new investments. Through these co-investment joint ventures, we typically earn acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, as well as promoted interests and incentive distributions based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures; however, we can not assure you that we will continue to do so. Through contribution of development properties to our co-investment joint ventures, we expect to recognize value creation from our development pipeline. As of September 30, 2006, we owned approximately 61.8 million square feet of our properties (49.5% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these co-investment joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.
 
By the end of 2007, we expect to have approximately 15% of our operating portfolio (based on consolidated and unconsolidated annualized base rent) invested in international markets. As of September 30, 2006, our international operating properties comprised 5.5% of our consolidated annualized base rent. When international operating properties owned in unconsolidated joint ventures are included, our annualized base rents from international investments increases to 11.2%. Our North American target countries outside of the United States currently comprise Canada and Mexico. Our European target countries currently comprise Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. Our Asian target countries currently comprise China, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. We expect to add additional target countries outside the United States in the future.
 
To maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, we must pay dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income. As a result, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our on-going operations to the same extent that other corporations that are not real estate investment trusts can. We must continue to raise capital in both the debt and equity markets to fund our working capital needs, acquisitions and developments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a complete discussion of the sources of our capital.

See Part I, Item 1: Notes 6, 7 and 9 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for a more detailed discussion of our capital markets transactions.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
In the preparation of financial statements, we utilize certain critical accounting policies. Except for SFAS No. 123R discussed below, there have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies,


35


Table of Contents

which are included in the notes to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Stock-based Compensation Expense.  We adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment, on January 1, 2006. We opted to utilize the modified prospective method of transition in adopting SFAS No. 123R. The effect of this change from applying the original expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, had an immaterial effect on income before minority interests and discontinued operations, income from continuing operations, net income and earnings per share, as described in further detail in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements. The effect of this change from applying the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 had no effect on cash flow from operating and financing activities. We recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the amount of $0.2 million as of January 1, 2006 to reflect the change in accounting for forfeitures. We value stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognize this value as an expense over the vesting periods. Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is applied to all options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, we will recognize the associated expense over the three to five-year vesting periods. Under SFAS No. 123R or SFAS No. 123, related stock option expense was $1.0 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $4.2 million and $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Additionally, we award restricted stock and recognize this value as an expense over the vesting periods. Related restricted stock compensation expense was $2.4 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $10.2 million and $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets.  We have classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions. As prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, goodwill and certain indefinite lived intangible assets, including excess reorganization value and certain trademarks, are no longer amortized, but are subject to at least annual impairment testing. We test annually (or more often, if necessary) for impairment under SFAS No. 142. We determined that there was no impairment to goodwill and intangible assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
 
THE COMPANY
 
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation, acquires, develops and operates industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. We use the terms “industrial properties” or “industrial buildings” to describe various types of industrial properties in our portfolio and use these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput Distribution® (HTD®) facilities; or any combination of these terms.
 
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997. Our strategy focuses on providing properties for customers who value the efficient movement of goods in the world’s busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained locations with proximity to airports, seaports and major highway systems. As of September 30, 2006, we owned or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 124.8 million rentable square feet (11.6 million square meters) and 1,109 buildings in 42 markets within eleven countries. Additionally, as of September 30, 2006, we managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial and other properties, totaling approximately 1.5 million rentable square feet.
 
Of the approximately 124.8 million rentable square feet as of September 30, 2006:
 
  •  on a consolidated basis, we owned or partially owned 939 industrial buildings, principally warehouse distribution facilities, encompassing approximately 93.6 million rentable square feet that were 95.9% leased;


36


Table of Contents

 
  •  on a consolidated basis, we had investments in 45 industrial development projects which are expected to total approximately 13.4 million rentable square feet upon completion;
 
  •  on a consolidated basis, we owned eight development projects, totaling approximately 2.8 million rentable square feet that are available for sale or contribution; and
 
  •  through unconsolidated joint ventures, we had investments in 90 industrial operating properties, totaling approximately 14.8 million rentable square feet, and one industrial operating property, totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet which is available for sale or contribution.
 
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 September 30, 2006, we owned an approximate 95.8% general partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding preferred units. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for and discretion in its day-to-day management and control.
 
Our strategy is to be a leading provider of industrial properties in supply-constrained submarkets located near key international passenger and cargo airports, highway systems and seaports in major metropolitan areas of North America, Europe and Asia. These submarkets are generally tied to global trade.
 
Our investment strategy generally targets customers whose businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the World Trade Organization, has grown more than three times the world gross domestic product growth rate during the last 20 years. To serve the facility needs of these customers, we seek to invest in major distribution markets, transportation hubs and gateways, both in the U.S. and internationally. Our investment strategy targets markets that are generally characterized by large population densities and typically offer substantial consumer bases, proximity to large clusters of distribution-facility users and significant labor pools. When measured by total consolidated and unconsolidated annualized base rents, 95.5% of our portfolio of industrial properties is located in our target markets, and much of it in in-fill submarkets within our target markets. In-fill locations are characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing projects as well as physical, political or economic barriers to new development.
 
Further, in many of our target markets, we focus on HTD® facilities, which are buildings designed to facilitate the rapid distribution of our customers’ products rather than storage of goods. Our investment focus on HTD® assets is based on what we believe to be a global trend toward lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains. HTD® facilities generally have a variety of physical characteristics that allow for the rapid transport of goods from point-to-point. These physical characteristics could include numerous dock doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and more space for trailer parking. We believe that these building characteristics represent an important success factor for time-sensitive customers such as air express, logistics and freight forwarding companies, and that these facilities function best when located in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure, such as major airports and seaports.
 
We are self-administered and self-managed 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 in a flexible operating model which includes both direct property management and Strategic Alliance Programs® in which we have established relationships with third-party real estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide property-level administrative and management services under our direction.
 
Our principal executive office is located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is (415) 394-9000. We maintain other principal regional office locations in Amsterdam, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo. As of September 30, 2006, we employed 395 individuals: 173 in our San Francisco headquarters, 61 in our Boston office, 46 in our Tokyo office, and the remainder in our other regional offices. Our website address is www.amb.com. Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available on our website free of charge

Operating Strategy
 
We base our operating strategy on a variety of operational and service offerings, including in-house acquisitions, development, redevelopment, asset management, property management, leasing, finance, accounting and market research. Our strategy is to leverage our expertise across a large customer base, and complement our internal management resources with long-standing relationships with entrepreneurial real estate management and development firms in our target markets.
 
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and best operated by local teams in each market comprised of AMB employees, local alliance partners or both. We intend to continue to increase utilization of internal management resources in target markets to achieve both operating efficiencies and to expose our customers to the broadening array of AMB service offerings, including access to multiple locations worldwide and build-to-suit developments. We actively manage our portfolio, whether directly or with an alliance partner, by establishing leasing strategies, negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of property improvements.
 
Growth Strategies
 
Growth through Operations
 
We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space by working to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of scale inherent in owning, operating and growing a large, global portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, our average industrial property base rental rates increased by 9.9% from the rent in place at expiration for that space on leases entered into or renewed during the period. This amount excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage rents and straight-line rents. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, cash-basis same-store net operating income (rental revenues less property operating expenses and real estate taxes for properties included in the same-store pool, which is set annually and excludes properties purchased or developments stabilized after December 31, 2004) increased by 5.8% on our industrial properties. Since our initial public offering in November 1997, we have experienced average annual increases in industrial property base rental rates of 4.4% and maintained an average quarter-end occupancy rate of 94.9% in our industrial property operating portfolio. While we believe that it is important to view real estate as a long-term investment, past results are not necessarily an indication of future performance. See “Supplemental Earnings Measures” under this Item for a discussion of same store net operating income and Part I, Item 1: Note 11 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for detailed segment information, including revenue attributable to each segment, gross investment in each segment and total assets.
 
Growth through Development
 
We believe that development, redevelopment and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should continue to provide us with attractive investment opportunities at a higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of existing properties. We believe we have the in-house expertise to create value both through new construction and acquisition and management of value-added properties. Value-added conversion projects represent the redevelopment of land or a building site for a more valuable use and may include such activities as rezoning, redesigning, reconstructing and retenanting. Both new development and value-added conversions require significant management attention and capital investment to maximize their return. Completed development properties may be held in our portfolio, sold to third parties or contributed to our co-investment joint ventures. We believe our global market presence and expertise will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on a diverse range of development opportunities.
 
We believe that the multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development opportunities. Many of our officers have specific experience in real estate development, both with us and with national development firms, and over the


38


Table of Contents

past three years, we have expanded our development staff. We pursue development projects directly and in joint ventures, providing us with the flexibility to pursue development projects independently or in partnerships, depending on market conditions, submarkets or building sites.
 
Growth through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment
 
We believe that our acquisition experience and our network of property management, leasing and acquisition resources will continue to provide opportunities for growth. In addition to our internal resources, we have long-term relationships with third-party local property management firms, which we believe may give us access to additional acquisition opportunities, as such managers frequently market properties on behalf of sellers. We believe also that our UPREIT structure which enables, us to acquire land and industrial properties in exchange for limited partnership units in the operating partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., enhances our attractiveness to owners and developers seeking to transfer properties on a tax-deferred basis. In addition, we seek to redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that better fit our current investment focus.
 
We are generally engaged in various stages of negotiations for a number of acquisitions and dispositions that may include acquisitions and dispositions of individual properties, large multi-property portfolios or other real estate companies. We cannot assure you that we will consummate any of these transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital for acquisitions may include retained cash flow from operations, borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities, other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or preferred or common equity securities by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries), proceeds from divestitures of properties, assumption of debt related to the acquired properties and private capital from our co-investment partners.
 
Growth through Global Expansion
 
By the end of 2007, we expect to have approximately 15% of our operating portfolio (based on consolidated and unconsolidated annualized base rent) invested in international markets. As of September 30, 2006, our international operating properties, on a consolidated and unconsolidated basis, comprised 11.2% of annualized base rent. Our North American target countries outside of the United States currently comprise Canada and Mexico. Our European target countries currently comprise Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Our Asian target countries currently comprise China, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. We expect to add additional target countries outside the United States in the future.
 
We believe that expansion into international target markets represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in industrial property markets with high population densities, close proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools, and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our international expansion strategy mirrors our focus in the United States on supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic or physical constraints to new development. Our international investments extend our offering of HTD® facilities for customers who value speed-to-market over storage. Specifically, we are focused on customers whose business is derived from global trade. In addition, our investments target major consumer distribution markets and customers. We believe that our established customer relationships, our contacts in the air cargo and logistics industries, our underwriting of markets and investments and our strategic alliances with knowledgeable developers and managers will assist us in competing internationally. For a discussion of the amount of our revenues attributable to the United States and international markets, please see Part I, Item 1: Note 11 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
 
Growth through Co-Investments
 
We co-invest in properties with private capital investors through partnerships, limited liability companies or joint ventures. Our co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and typically operate under the same investment strategy that we apply to our other operations. Typically, we will own a 20-50% interest in our co-investment joint ventures. We believe that our co-investment program will continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments; however, we cannot assure you that it will continue to do so. In addition, our co-investment joint ventures typically allow us to earn acquisition and development fees, asset management


39


Table of Contents

fees or priority distributions, as well as promoted interests or incentive distributions based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures. As of September 30, 2006, we owned approximately 61.8 million square feet of our properties (49.5% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures. Same store properties are those that we owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development properties stabilized after December 31, 2004 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for which we have held a certificate of occupancy or where building has been substantially complete for at least 12 months).
 
As of September 30, 2006, same store industrial properties consisted of properties aggregating approximately 79.1 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2006 consisted of ten buildings, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2005 consisted of 8 buildings, aggregating approximately 1.8 million square feet. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, property divestitures and contributions consisted of three buildings, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 8 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.6 million square feet.
 
The properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted of 69 buildings, aggregating approximately 5.9 million square feet. The properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted of 26 buildings, aggregating approximately 4.8 million square feet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 17 buildings, aggregating approximately 3.0 million square feet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 43 buildings, aggregating approximately 3.8 million square feet. Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties and dispositions. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical results.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues increased $5.9 million from the prior year on a quarter-to-date basis due primarily to improved occupancy and increased rental rates in various markets. The properties acquired during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 consisted of 41 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.9 million square feet. The properties acquired during 2006 consisted of 69 buildings, aggregating approximately 5.9 million square feet. Other industrial revenues include rental revenues from development projects that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. In 2005 and 2006, we continued to acquire properties in China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in increased international revenues. The increase in private capital income of $1.7 million was primarily due to incentive distributions for 2006 from the sale of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P. in 2005, which had been deferred.

Same store properties’ operating expenses showed an increase of $0.6 million from the prior year on a quarter-to-date basis due primarily to increased insurance costs as evidenced by an increase in property insurance rates of as much as 30% to 40% over the last year due to hurricane-related losses sustained by the insurance industry. The properties acquired during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 consisted of 41 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.9 million square feet. The 2006 acquisitions consisted of 69 buildings, aggregating approximately 5.9 million square feet. Other industrial expenses include expenses from development properties that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. In 2005 and 2006, we continued to acquire properties in China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in increased international operating costs. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to additional staffing and the opening of new satellite offices both domestically and internationally. Other expenses decreased approximately $2.0 million from the prior year on a quarter-to-quarter basis due primarily to a decrease in the loss associated with the deferred compensation plan, partially offset by an increase in certain deal costs. Fund costs represent general and administrative costs paid to third parties associated with our co-investment joint ventures.

The $0.7 million increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily due to an increase in gains from the disposition of real estate investments by our unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by an increase in expenses by our unconsolidated joint ventures during the quarter. Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. The increase in development profits was primarily due to increased disposition and contribution volume during the three months ended September 30, 2006. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we sold three development projects, totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet for $38.4 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $7.0 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we contributed one completed development project totaling approximately 0.7 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., an unconsolidated joint venture. As a result of this contribution, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $16.5 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 September 30, 2005, we sold an approximately 12,000 square foot development project and one land parcel for $4.5 million resulting in an after-tax gain of $0.4 million. The increase in interest expense, including amortization, was due primarily to increased borrowings on unsecured credit facilities and other debt.

Same store properties’ operating expenses increased $3.8 million from the prior year on a year-to-date basis due primarily to increased insurance costs, utility expenses, and other non-reimbursable expenses. The 2005 acquisitions consist of 41 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.9 million square feet. The 2006 acquisitions consist of 69 buildings, aggregating approximately 5.9 million square feet. Other industrial expenses include expenses from divested properties that have been contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture, and accordingly are not classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, and development properties that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. In 2005 and 2006, we continued to acquire properties in China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in increased international industrial property operating costs. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate. The 2006 impairment loss was taken on several non-core assets as a result of leasing activities and changes in the economic environment and the holding period of certain assets. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expense of $4.8 million and additional staffing and expenses for new initiatives, including our international and development expansions. Other expenses decreased approximately $2.6 million from the prior year on a year-to-year basis due primarily to a decrease in losses associated with our deferred compensation plan

The $2.6 million increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily due to an increase in gains from the disposition of real estate investments by our unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by an increase in expenses by our unconsolidated joint ventures during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The $2.8 million increase in other income was primarily due to an increase in bank interest income and an increase in property management income due to the expansion of our property management business. The 2005 gains from disposition of real estate interests resulted primarily from our contribution of $106.9 million in operating properties to our newly formed unconsolidated co-investment joint venture, AMB Japan Fund I, L.P. Development profits represent gains from the sale or contributions of development projects including land. The increase in development profits was due to increased disposition and contribution volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we sold one land parcel and four development projects, totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet for an aggregate sale price of $46.0 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $7.8 million and contributed two completed development projects totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., and one completed development project totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $63.1 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. In addition, we received approximately $0.4 million in connection with the condemnation of a parcel of land resulting in a loss of $1.0 million, $0.8 million of which was the joint venture partner’s share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we sold three land parcels and three development projects, aggregating approximately 55,000 square feet, as part of our development-for-sale program, for an aggregate price of $49.5 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $18.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we contributed an industrial property for $23.6 million, consisting of one industrial building, aggregating approximately 0.4 million square feet, to our unconsolidated co-investment joint venture, AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, resulting in an after-tax gain of $1.9 million. The increase in interest expense, including amortization, was due primarily to increased borrowings on unsecured credit facilities and other debt.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we divested ourselves of 35 industrial buildings and one retail center, aggregating approximately 2.5 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $252.0 million, with a resulting net gain of $47.7 million.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, redeemed all 840,000 of its outstanding 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units, all 220,440 of its outstanding 7.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 201,139 of its outstanding 7.95% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. As a result, we recognized a decrease in income available to common stockholders of $1.0 million for the original issuance costs, net of discount on repurchase.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Balance Sheet Strategy.  In general, we use unsecured lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred stock and common equity (issued by us and/or the operating partnership and its subsidiaries) to capitalize our 100%-owned assets. Over time, we plan to retire non-recourse, secured debt encumbering our 100%-owned assets and replace that debt with unsecured notes. In managing our co-investment joint ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to capitalize our co-investment joint ventures.
 
We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of properties will include:
 
  •  retained earnings and cash flow from operations;
 
  •  private capital from co-investment partners;
 
  •  net proceeds from contribution of properties and completed development projects to our co-investment joint ventures;
 
  •  borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities;
 
  •  other forms of secured or unsecured financing;
 
  •  proceeds from debt or limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited partnership units by our subsidiaries); and
 
  •  net proceeds from divestitures of properties.
 
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will include:
 
  •  working capital;
 
  •  development, expansion and renovation of properties;
 
  •  acquisitions, including our global expansion;
 
  •  debt service; and
 
  •  dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred stock and limited partnership units.
 
Cash flows.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash provided by operating activities was $221.1 million as compared to $194.3 million for the same period in 2005. This change is primarily due to increases in rental rates, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to additional staffing and expenses for new initiatives, including our international and development expansions and increased occupancy costs related to the expansion of satellite offices. Cash used in investing activities was $924.8 million for

Table of Contents

the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to cash used for investing activities of $450.4 million for the same period in 2005. This change is primarily due to an increase in funds used for property acquisitions and capital expenditures, and a decrease in proceeds from property divestitures, offset by less funds used for additions to interests in unconsolidated joint ventures and an increase in capital distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash provided by financing activities was $622.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $284.3 million for the same period in 2005. This change is due primarily to an increase in borrowings, net of repayments, issuance of common stock upon the exercise of options and issuances of preferred stock, offset by the cost of the repurchase of preferred units during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
 
We believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations, borrowings available under our unsecured credit facilities and our ability to access private and public debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
 
Capital Resources
 
Property Divestitures.  During the three months ended September 30, 2006 we divested ourselves of one industrial building aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $5.2 million, with a resulting net gain of $0.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we divested ourselves of 13 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $59.1 million, with a resulting net gain of $24.3 million.
 
Gains from Contributions of Real Estate Interests.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we contributed $106.9 million (using the exchange rate in effect at contribution) in operating properties, consisting of six industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet, to our then newly formed unconsolidated co-investment joint venture, AMB Japan Fund I, L.P. We recognized a gain of $17.6 million on the contribution, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized a gain of $1.3 million from contribution of real estate interests, representing the additional value received from the contribution of properties in 2004 to AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC.
 
Development Sales.  During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we sold three development projects totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet for an aggregate sale price of $38.4 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $7.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we sold one land parcel and four development projects totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet for an aggregate sale price of $46.0 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $7.8 million. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we received approximately $0.4 million in connection with the condemnation of a parcel of land resulting in a loss of $1.0 million, $0.8 million of which was the joint venture partner’s share. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we sold one approximately 12,000 square foot development project and one land parcel, for an aggregate price of $4.5 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $0.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we sold three development projects totaling approximately 55,000 square feet and three land parcels, for an aggregate price of $49.5 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $18.4 million, of which $9.9 million was the joint venture partners’ share.
 
Development Contributions.  During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we contributed one completed development project totaling approximately 0.7 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., an unconsolidated joint venture. As a result of this contribution, we recognized an after-tax gain of $16.5 million representing the portion of its interest in the contributed property acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we contributed two completed development projects totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P and one approximately 0.6 million square foot completed development project into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $63.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we contributed one completed development project totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC and recognized a gain of $1.9 million.

Properties Held for Contribution.  As of September 30, 2006, we held for contribution to co-investment joint ventures six industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $184.4 million, which, when contributed to a joint venture, will reduce our current ownership interest from approximately 100% to an expected range of 20-50%.
 
Properties Held for Divestiture.  As of September 30, 2006, we held for divestiture six industrial projects and two land parcels, which are not in our core markets, do not meet our current strategic objectives or which we have included as part of our development-for-sale program. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. As of September 30, 2006, the net carrying value of the properties held for divestiture was $63.4 million. Expected net sales proceeds exceed the net carrying value of the properties.
 
Co-investment Joint Ventures.  Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. We generally consolidate these joint ventures for financial reporting purposes because they are not variable interest entities and because we are the sole managing general partner and control all major operating decisions. However, in certain cases, our co-investment joint ventures are unconsolidated because we do not control all major operating decisions.
 
Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2006, we owned approximately 61.8 million square feet of our properties (49.5% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.

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 September 30, 2006: 1,595,337 shares of series D preferred; 220,440 shares of series E cumulative redeemable preferred; 267,439 shares of series F cumulative redeemable preferred; 510,000 shares of series I cumulative redeemable preferred; 800,000 shares of series J cumulative redeemable preferred; 800,000 shares of series K cumulative redeemable preferred; 2,300,000 shares of series L cumulative redeemable preferred, of which 2,000,000 are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series M cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding, 3,000,000 shares of series O cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding, and 2,000,000 shares of series P cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding.
 
On September 24, 2004, AMB Property II, L.P., a partnership in which Texas AMB I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our indirect subsidiary, owns an approximate 1.0% general partnership interest and the operating partnership owns an approximate 99% common limited partnership interest, issued 729,582 5.0% Series N Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units at a price of $50.00 per unit. The series N preferred units were issued to Robert Pattillo Properties, Inc. in exchange for the contribution to AMB Property II, L.P of certain parcels of land that are located in multiple markets. Effective January 27, 2006, Robert Pattillo Properties, Inc. exercised its rights under its Put Agreement, dated September 24, 2004, with the operating partnership, and sold all of its series N preferred units to the operating partnership for an aggregate price of $36.6 million, including accrued and unpaid distributions. Also on January 27, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P. repurchased all of the series N preferred units from the operating partnership at an aggregate price of $36.6 million and cancelled all of the outstanding series N preferred units as of such date.
 
On March 21, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., repurchased all 840,000 of its outstanding 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single institutional investor for an aggregate price of $42.8 million, including accrued and unpaid distributions. In connection with this repurchase, we reclassified all of our outstanding 840,000 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock as preferred stock.
 
On June 30, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., repurchased all 220,440 of its outstanding 7.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single institutional investor for an aggregate price of $10.9 million, including accrued and unpaid distributions.
 
On September 21, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., repurchased all 201,139 of its outstanding 7.95% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single institutional investor for an aggregate price of $10.0 million, including accrued and unpaid distributions.
 
In December 2005, our board of directors approved a new two-year common stock repurchase program for the discretionary repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. We did not repurchase or retire any shares of our common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
 
Debt.  In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend to operate with an our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less. As of September 30, 2006, our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio was 35.6%. (See footnote 1 to the Capitalization Ratios table contained in Part 1, Item 2: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for our definitions of “our share of total market capitalization,” “market equity” and “our share of total debt.”) However, we typically finance our consolidated co-investment joint ventures with secured debt at a loan-to-value ratio of 50-65% per our joint venture agreements. Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless of these policies, however, our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our management could alter or eliminate these policies without stockholder approval or circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply with these policies.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2006, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.9 billion, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $9.0 million. Of the $1.9 billion of secured debt, $1.5 billion is secured by properties in our joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and bears interest at rates varying from 1.0% to 10.4% per annum (with a weighted average rate of 6.0%) and final maturity dates ranging from November 2006 to January 2025. As of September 30, 2006, $1.6 billion of the secured debt obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.2%, while the remaining $297.9 million bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%).
 
As of September 30, 2006, the operating partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.2 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% and had a weighted average term of 4.6 years. These unsecured senior debt securities include $300.0 million in notes issued in June 1998, $225.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnership’s 2000 medium-term note program, $325.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnership’s 2002 medium-term note program, $175.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnership’s 2006 medium term-note program and approximately $112.5 million of 5.094% Notes Due 2015, which were issued to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America on July 11, 2005 in a private placement, in exchange for the cancellation of $100 million of notes that were issued in June 1998 resulting in a discount of approximately $12.5 million. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. Also included is a $100.0 million term loan which matures in December 2006.
 
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.  On June 1, 2006, the operating partnership entered into a third amended and restated $550.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement that replaced its then-existing $500.0 million credit facility, which was to mature on June 1, 2007. We are a guarantor of the operating partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The line, which matures on June 1, 2010, 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 September 30, 2006, with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. The four year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Yen or British Pounds Sterling. The operating partnership uses its unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $342.2 million and the remaining amount available was $196.3 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $11.5 million. The outstanding balance included borrowings denominated in Euros, which, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, equaled approximately $332.2 million U.S. dollars.
 
On June 23, 2006, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the operating partnership and as the initial borrower, entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a 45.0 billion Yen unsecured revolving credit facility, which, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, equaled approximately $380.8 million U.S. dollars. This replaced the 35.0 billion Yen unsecured revolving credit facility executed on June 29, 2004, as previously amended, which using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, equaled approximately $296.2 million U.S. dollars. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the operating partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The credit

facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option. The credit facility can be increased to up to 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, equaled approximately $465.4 million U.S. dollars. 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 September 30, 2006. 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 September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2006, was $227.7 million in U.S. dollars.
 
On June 13, 2006, the operating partnership and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries entered into a fourth amended and restated credit agreement for a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which replaced the third amended and restated credit agreement for a $250.0 million unsecured credit facility. On February 16, 2006, the third amended and restated credit agreement replaced the then-existing $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that was to mature in June 2008. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by us or the operating partnership that are selected by the operating partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to the credit facility. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. The line, which matures in February 2010 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased to up to $350.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt, which was 60 basis points as of September 30, 2006, 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 September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on this facility was approximately $231.8 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios by the operating partnership, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations.

(2) The weighted average interest and maturity for the unconsolidated joint venture debt were 4.5% and 4.2 years, respectively.
 
(3) Our share of total debt is the pro rata portion of the total debt based on our percentage of equity interest in each of the consolidated or unconsolidated joint ventures holding the debt. We believe that our share of total debt is a meaningful supplemental measure, which enables both management and investors to analyze our leverage and to compare our leverage to that of other companies. In addition, it allows for a more meaningful comparison of our debt to that of other companies that do not consolidate their joint ventures. Our share of total debt is not intended to reflect our actual liability should there be a default under any or all of such loans or a liquidation of the joint ventures. The above table reconciles our share of total debt to total consolidated debt, a GAAP financial measure.
 
(4) Our secured debt and joint venture debt include debt related to international assets in the amount of $271.2 million. Of this, $84.6 million is associated with assets located in Asia and the remaining $186.6 million is related to assets located in Europe.
 
(5) Maturity includes $65.0 million balance outstanding on a $65.0 million non-recourse credit facility obtained by AMB Partners II, L.P.
 
(6) Includes $50.0 million in notes which we currently intend to pay off at maturity in November 2006 and a $100.0 million term loan that matures in December 2006, which we currently intend to re-finance.

Our share of total book capitalization is defined as our share of total debt plus minority interests to preferred unitholders and limited partnership unitholders plus stockholders’ equity. Our share of total debt is the pro rata portion of the total debt based on our percentage of equity interest in each of the consolidated or unconsolidated ventures holding the debt. We believe that our share of total debt is a meaningful supplemental measure, which enables both management and investors to analyze our leverage and to compare our leverage to that of other companies. In addition, it allows for a more meaningful comparison of our debt to that of other companies that do not consolidate their joint ventures. Our share of total debt is not intended to reflect our actual liability should there be a default under any or all of such loans or a liquidation of the joint ventures. For a reconciliation of our share of total debt to total consolidated debt, a GAAP financial measure, please see the table of debt maturities and capitalization above.

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from operations, will not allow us to retire all of our debt as it comes due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with net proceeds from future debt or equity financings, as well as property divestitures. However, we may not be able to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
 
Capital Commitments
 
Developments Starts.  During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we initiated eight new industrial development projects in North America, Europe and Asia with a total estimated investment of $251.2 million, aggregating an estimated 2.8 million square feet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we initiated 19 new industrial development projects in North America, Europe and Asia with a total expected investment of $604.6 million, aggregating approximately 7.7 million square feet.
 
Development Pipeline.  As of September 30, 2006, we had 45 projects in our development pipeline representing a total estimated investment of $1.2 billion upon completion. We have an additional nine development


54


Table of Contents

projects available for sale or contribution totaling approximately 3.0 million square feet, with an aggregate estimated investment of $217.7 million. One of these nine projects totaling $12.6 million and approximately 0.2 million square feet is held in an unconsolidated joint venture. As of September 30, 2006, we and our joint venture partners had funded an aggregate of $701.6 million and needed to fund an estimated additional $453.5 million in order to complete our development pipeline. Our development pipeline currently includes projects expected to be completed through the second quarter of 2008. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2006, we acquired 272 acres of land for industrial warehouse development in North America and Asia for approximately $65.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we acquired 612 acres of land for industrial warehouse development in North America and Asia for approximately $231.1 million. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or equity issuances, net proceeds from property divestitures and private capital from co-investment partners, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow.
 
Acquisitions.  During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we acquired ten industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet for a total expected investment of $115.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we acquired 69 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 5.9 million square feet for a total expected investment of $515.7 million, of which we acquired 45 buildings through two of our co-investment joint ventures. We generally fund our acquisitions through private capital contributions, borrowings under our credit facilities, cash, debt issuances and net proceeds from property divestitures.
 
Lease Commitments.  We have entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms from one to 56 years. These buildings and improvements are amortized ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.
 
Co-investment Joint Ventures.  Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. As of September 30, 2006, we had investments in co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of $2.9 billion, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and net equity investments in two unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures of $29.1 million. As of September 30, 2006, we may make additional capital contributions to current and planned co-investment joint ventures of up to $115.5 million (using the exchange rates at September 30, 2006) pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreements. From time to time, we may raise additional equity commitments for AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended consolidated co-investment joint venture formed in 2004 with institutional investors, which invests through a private real estate investment trust. This would increase our obligation to make additional capital commitments. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of this fund, we are obligated to contribute 20% of the total equity commitments to the fund until such time our total equity commitment is greater than $150.0 million, at which time, our obligation is reduced to 10% of the total equity commitments. We expect to fund these contributions with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or equity issuances or net proceeds from property divestitures, which could adversely effect our cash flow.
 
Captive Insurance Company.  In December 2001, we formed a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd., which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under our third-party policies. We capitalized Arcata National Insurance Ltd. in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata National Insurance Ltd. established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of our properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata National Insurance Ltd. may be adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Arcata National Insurance Ltd. have a retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses, deductibles and reserves, are less than premiums collected, the excess may be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers). Conversely, subject to certain limitations, if expenses, including losses, deductibles and reserves, are greater than premiums collected, an additional premium will be charged. As with all recoverable expenses, differences between estimated and actual insurance premiums are recognized in the subsequent year. Through this structure, we believe that we have more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

Potential Unknown Liabilities.  Unknown liabilities may include the following:
 
  •  liabilities for clean-up or remediation of undisclosed environmental conditions;
 
  •  claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our predecessors prior to our formation or acquisition transactions that had not been asserted prior to our formation or acquisition transactions;
 
  •  accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business;
 
  •  tax liabilities; and
 
  •  claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our predecessors and others indemnified by these entities.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
Standby Letters of Credit.  As of September 30, 2006, we had provided approximately $25.2 million in letters of credit, of which $11.5 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.  Other than parent guarantees associated with the unsecured debt, as of September 30, 2006, we had outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount of $125.0 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of September 30, 2006, we guaranteed $23.5 million and $2.3 million on outstanding loans on two of our consolidated joint ventures and one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
 
Performance and Surety Bonds.  As of September 30, 2006, we had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $4.9 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of our development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such as grading, sewers and streets. Performance and surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from real estate developers. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.
 
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.  Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, we may be obligated to make payments to certain of our joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with us. From time to time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments, pay promotes, or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.
 
Supplemental Earnings Measures
 
FFO.  We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. FFO is defined as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, less gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. We believe that FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. We


56


Table of Contents

consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies.
 
While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO also does not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor is FFO necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
 
The following table reflects the calculation of FFO reconciled from net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (dollars in thousands, except per share and unit amounts):

Includes gains from undepreciated land sales of $5.3 million and $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
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, to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. For properties that are considered part of the same store pool, see Item 2: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” and “Operating and Leasing Statistics Summary,” page 60, Note 1. In deriving SS NOI, we define NOI as rental revenues (as calculated in accordance with GAAP), including reimbursements, less straight-line rents, property operating expenses and real estate taxes. We exclude straight-line rents in calculating SS NOI because we believe it provides a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. In addition, we believe that SS NOI helps the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate as compared to other companies.
 
While SS NOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. SS NOI also 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 our results from operations. Further, our computation of SS NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating SS NOI.

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 minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of September 30, 2006, we had three outstanding interest rate swaps and one foreign exchange agreement with an aggregate notional amount of $57.7 million (in U.S. dollars).
 
The table below summarizes the market risks associated with our fixed and variable rate debt outstanding before net unamortized debt discounts of $1.9 million as of September 30, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased or decreased by 10%, then the increase or decrease in interest expense on the variable rate debt would be $4.4 million (net of swaps) annually. As of September 30, 2006, the book value and the estimated fair value of our total consolidated debt (both secured and unsecured) was $4.0 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, based on our estimate of current market interest rates.
 
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, variable rate debt comprised 29.9% and 21.0%, respectively, of all our outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $1.2 billion and $742.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to higher outstanding balances on our credit facilities. This increase in our outstanding variable rate debt increases our risk associated with unfavorable interest rate fluctuations.
 
Financial Instruments.  We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. For revenues or expenses denominated in non-functional currencies, we may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our derivative financial instruments in effect at September 30, 2006 were three interest rate swaps hedging cash flows of our variable rate borrowings based on U.S. Libor (USD) and Euribor (Europe) and one foreign currency option hedging the repayment of an intercompany obligation.

International Operations.  Our exposure to market risk also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional currency for our subsidiaries operating outside North America is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity is located, mitigating the effect of foreign exchange gains and losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. We translate income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. The losses resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and totaled $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Our international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, losses from remeasurement and the sale of one and three foreign exchange agreements included in our results of operations were $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
 
We also record gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, president 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 are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, president 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, president 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.
