Organization
and Formation of the Company
|
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the
Company), commenced operations as a fully integrated
real estate company effective with the completion of its initial
public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected
to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 as amended (the Code), commencing with its
taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and believes its
current organization and method of operation will enable it to
maintain its status as a REIT. The Company, through its
controlling interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the Operating
Partnership), is engaged in the acquisition, development
and operation of industrial properties in key distribution
markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. The Company
uses the terms industrial properties or
industrial buildings to describe various types of
industrial properties in its portfolio and uses these terms
interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities,
centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or
warehouses; High Throughput
Distribution®
(HTD®)
facilities; or any combination of these terms. The Company uses
the term owned and managed to describe assets in
which it has at least a 10% ownership interest, for which it is
the property or asset manager, and which it intends to hold for
the long-term. Unless the context otherwise requires, the
Company means AMB Property Corporation, the
Operating Partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company owned an approximate
95.5% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership,
excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 4.5% 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
Companys 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 March 31,
2007, the Company had investments in five consolidated and four
unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. Effective
October 1, 2006, the Company deconsolidated AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended
co-investment partnership formed in 2004 with institutional
investors, on a prospective basis, due to the re-evaluation of
the Companys accounting for its investment in the fund in
light of changes to the partnership agreement regarding the
general partners rights effective October 1, 2006.
AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(AMB Capital Partners), provides real estate
investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty
Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of
businesses that include development projects available for sale
or contribution to third parties and incremental income
programs. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
conducts a variety of businesses that also includes development
projects available for sale or contribution to third parties.
AMB Capital Partners, Headlands Realty Corporation and IMD
Holding Corporation are direct or indirect subsidiaries of the
Operating Partnership.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company owned or had investments
in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint
ventures, properties and development projects expected to total
approximately 128.2 million rentable square feet
(11.9 million square meters) and 1,101 buildings in 40
markets within thirteen countries. Additionally, as of
March 31, 2007, the Company managed, but did not have a
significant ownership interest in, industrial and other
properties, totaling approximately 1.5 million rentable
square feet. The Companys investment strategy generally
targets customers whose businesses are tied to global trade,
which according to the World Trade
5
AMB
PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Organization, has been growing at a rate more than three times
that of world gross domestic product over the past
30 years. To serve the facility needs of these customers,
the Company seeks to invest in major distribution markets,
transportation hubs and gateways that, generally, are tied to
global trade, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Of the approximately 128.2 million rentable square feet as
of March 31, 2007:
|
|
|
|
|
on an owned and managed basis, which includes investments held
on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint
ventures, the Company owned or partially owned properties,
principally warehouse distribution buildings, encompassing
approximately 103.2 million rentable square feet that were
95.2% leased;
|
|
|
|
on an owned and managed basis, which includes investments held
on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint
ventures, the Company had investments in 44 industrial
development projects which are expected to total approximately
14.7 million rentable square feet upon completion and one
industrial operating property, totaling approximately
0.2 million square feet which is available for sale or
contribution;
|
|
|
|
on a consolidated basis, the Company owned eleven development
projects, totaling approximately 2.7 million rentable
square feet that are available for sale or contribution; and
|
|
|
|
through other non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures, the
Company had investments in 46 industrial operating properties,
totaling approximately 7.4 million rentable square feet.

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 Companys consolidated financial position and results
of operations for the interim periods. The interim results for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of future results. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 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, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Investments in Real Estate. Investments in
real estate and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless
circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which
case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to 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 Companys 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
6
AMB
PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
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
$0.3 million during the three months ended March 31,
2007 on one of its investments.
Reclassifications. Certain items in the
consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to current classifications.
Comprehensive Income. The Company reports
comprehensive income in its Statement of Stockholders
Equity. Comprehensive income was $26.0 million and
$27.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively.
International Operations. The U.S. dollar
is the functional currency for the Companys subsidiaries
operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional
currency for the Companys subsidiaries operating outside
the United States is generally the local currency of the country
in which the entity is located, mitigating the effect of
currency exchange gains and losses. The Companys
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 Companys international subsidiaries may have
transactions denominated in currencies other than their
functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and
liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate,
monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange
rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement
accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the
period. These gains (losses) are included in the Companys
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 entitys 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
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
(SFAS 142) 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 142. The Company determined that there was no
impairment to goodwill and intangible assets during the quarter
ended March 31, 2007.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109, (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting
and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined.
FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated
with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related
to accounting for income taxes. Adoption of FIN 48 on
January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial statements.
The tax years
2002-2006
remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to
which the Company is subject.

Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest
payments. Some of the 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 March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the total
gross investment book value of those properties securing the
debt was $2.7 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively,
including $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively,
in consolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2007,
$1.3 billion of the secured debt obligations bore interest
at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 5.5%
while the remaining $307.8 million bore interest at
variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 5.3%).

On December 8, 2006, the Operating Partnership executed a
228.0 million euros facility agreement (approximately
$304.5 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at
March 31, 2007), which provides that certain of The
Companys affiliates may borrow either acquisition loans,
up to a 100.0 million euros
sub-limit
(approximately $133.5 million in U.S. dollars, using the
exchange rate at March 31, 2007), or secured term loans, in
connection with properties located in France, Germany, the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy or Spain. On
March 21, 2007, the Operating Partnership increased the
facility amount limit from 228.0 million euros to
328.0 million euros (approximately $438.0 million in
U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at March 31, 2007).
Drawings under the term facility bear interest at a rate of 65
basis points over EURIBOR and may occur until, and mature on,
April 30, 2014. Drawings under the acquisition loan
facility bear interest at a rate of 75 basis points over EURIBOR
and are repayable within six months of the date of advance,
unless extended. The acquisition loan facility is available for
drawing until December 8, 2007. The Operating Partnership
guarantees the acquisition loan facility and is a carve-out
indemnifier in respect of the term loans. These responsibilities
can be transferred upon the occurrence of certain events, and
the Operating Partnership will be fully discharged from all such
obligations upon such transfer. As of March 31, 2007, there
were approximately 201.3 million euros in term loans
outstanding under the facility (approximately
$268.8 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at
March 31, 2007) which is included in the
Companys secured debt balance.
As of March 31, 2007, the Operating Partnership had
outstanding an aggregate of $1.1 billion in unsecured
senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 6.2% and had an average term of 4.8 years. These
unsecured senior debt securities include $300.0 million in
notes issued in June 1998, $205.0 million of medium-term
notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnerships
2000 medium-term note program, $275.0 million of
medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating
Partnerships 2002 medium-term note program,
$175.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued
under the Operating Partnerships 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. Management believes that the Company and the
Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial
covenants as of March 31, 2007.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $86.1 million
outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 6.7% and had an average term of 5.2 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 March 31, 2007. The Company also had
$21.1 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
Partnerships 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 Partnerships long-term debt rating, which was
42.5 basis points as of March 31, 2007, with an annual
facility fee of 15 basis points. The four-year credit facility
includes a multi-currency component, under which up to
$550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. Dollars, Euros,
Yen or British Pounds Sterling. The Operating Partnership uses
the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding
development activity and general working capital requirements.
As of March 31, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings
and the remaining amount available was $537.5 million, net
of outstanding letters of credit of $12.5 million. The
credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including
compliance with financial reporting requirements and maintenance
of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including
limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on
mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company
and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their
financial covenants under this credit agreement at
March 31, 2007.

45.0 billion Yen unsecured revolving credit facility,
which, using the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2007,
equaled approximately $381.9 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
March 31, 2007, equaled approximately $297.0 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 March 31, 2007,
equaled approximately $466.8 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
Partnerships long-term debt and was 42.5 basis points
as of March 31, 2007. In addition, there is an annual
facility fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on
the credit rating of the Operating Partnerships long-term
debt, and was 15 basis points of the outstanding commitments
under the facility as of March 31, 2007. As of
March 31, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit
facility, using the exchange rate in effect on March 31,
2007, was $342.5 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 March 31, 2007.
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
Partnerships senior unsecured long-term debt, which was
60 basis points as of March 31, 2007, with an annual
facility fee based on the credit rating of the Operating
Partnerships 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 March 31, 2007, the
outstanding balance on this credit facility was approximately
$132.3 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative
covenants, including financial reporting requirements and
maintenance of specified financial ratios by the Operating
Partnership, and negative covenants, including limitations on
the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or
consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the

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

The Company has consolidated joint ventures that have finite
lives under the terms of the partnership agreements. As of
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the aggregate
book value of the minority interests in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets was approximately
$506.6 million and $555.2 million, respectively, and
the Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of
these interests was approximately $1.0 billion and
$1.0 billion, respectively. However, there can be no
assurance that the aggregate settlement value of the interests
will be as such. The aggregate settlement value is based on the
estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and
the resulting proceeds that the Company would distribute to its
joint venture partners upon dissolution, as required under the
terms of the respective joint venture agreements. There can be
no assurance that the estimated liquidation values of the assets
and liabilities and the resulting proceeds that the Company
distributes upon dissolution will be the same as the actual
liquidation values of such assets, liabilities and proceeds
distributed upon dissolution. Subsequent changes to the
estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities of the
consolidated joint ventures will affect the Companys
estimate of the aggregate settlement value. The joint venture
agreements do not limit the amount to which the minority joint
venture partners would be entitled in the event of liquidation
of the assets and liabilities and dissolution of the respective
joint ventures.
On January 29, 2007, the 7.75% Series D Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Units of AMB Property II, L.P., were
transferred from one institutional investor to another
institutional investor. In connection with that transfer, AMB
Property II, L.P. agreed to amend the terms of the
Series D Preferred Units to, among other things, change the
rate applicable to the Series D Preferred Units from 7.75%
to 7.18% and change the date prior to which the Series D
Preferred Units may not be redeemed from May 5, 2004 to
February 22, 2012.
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

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
On December 30, 2004, the Company formed AMB-SGP Mexico,
LLC, a joint venture with Industrial (Mexico) JV Pte. Ltd., a
subsidiary of GIC Real Estate Pte. Ltd., the real estate
investment subsidiary of the Government of Singapore Investment
Corporation, in which the Company retained an approximate 20%
interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the
Company recognized a gain of approximately $0.1 million
from the contribution of one approximately 0.1 million
square foot operating property for $4.6 million. This gain
is presented in gains from disposition of real estate interests,
net, on consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the
Company recognized development profits from the contribution of
one completed development project aggregating approximately
0.2 million square feet with a contribution value of
$14.2 million.
On June 30, 2005, the Company formed AMB Japan Fund I,
L.P., a joint venture with 13 institutional investors, in which
the Company retained an approximate 20% interest. The 13
institutional investors have committed 49.5 billion Yen
(approximately $420.1 million in U.S. dollars, using
the exchange rate at March 31, 2007) for an
approximate 80% equity interest.
Effective October 1, 2006, the Company deconsolidated AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended
co-investment partnership formed in 2004 with institutional
investors, on a prospective basis, due to the re-evaluation of
the Companys accounting for its investment in the fund in
light of changes to the partnership agreement regarding the
general partners rights effective October 1, 2006.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company
contributed to such joint venture, one completed development
project, aggregating approximately 0.3 million square feet
for approximately $41.8 million.
On October 17, 2006, the Company formed AMB DFS
Fund I, LLC, a merchant development joint venture with GE
Real Estate (GE), in which the Company retained an
approximate 15% interest. The joint venture is expected to 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. For the three months ended March 31,
2007, the Company recognized development profits from the
contribution to this fund of approximately 82 acres of land
with a contribution value of approximately $30.3 million.
As a result of the contribution of two completed development
projects and approximately 82 acres of land to AMB-SGP
Mexico, LLC, AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and
AMB DFS Fund I, LLC, the Company recognized development
profits of approximately $8.9 million, representing the
portion of the Companys interest in the contributed
properties acquired by the third party investors for cash.
Under the agreements governing the joint ventures, the Company
and the other parties to the joint ventures may be required to
make additional capital contributions and, subject to certain
limitations, the joint ventures may incur additional debt.
The Company also has a 0.1% unconsolidated equity interest (with
an approximate 33% economic interest) in AMB Pier One, LLC, a
joint venture related to the 2000 redevelopment of the pier
which houses the Companys office space in
San Francisco, California. The investment is not
consolidated because the Company does not exercise control over
major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection
of property managers, investment activity and changes in
financing. The Company has an option to purchase the remaining
equity interest beginning January 1, 2007 and expiring
December 31, 2009, based on the fair market value as
stipulated in the joint venture agreement. As of March 31,
2007, the Company also had an approximate 39.0% unconsolidated
equity interest in G.Accion, a Mexican real estate company.
G.Accion provides management and development services for
industrial, retail, residential and office properties in Mexico.
In addition, as of March 31, 2007, a subsidiary of the
Company also had an approximate 5% interest in IAT Air Cargo
Facilities Income Fund (IAT), a Canadian income trust
specializing in aviation-related real estate at Canadas
leading international airports. This equity investment of
approximately $3.4 million and $2.7 million,
respectively, is included in other assets on the consolidated
balance sheets as of March 31, 2007 and December 31,
2006.

Holders of common limited partnership units of the Operating
Partnership and class B common limited partnership units of
AMB Property II, L.P. have the right, commencing generally
on or after the first anniversary of the holder becoming a
limited partner of the Operating Partnership or AMB
Property II, L.P., as applicable (or such other date agreed
to by the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P.
and the applicable unit holders), to require the Operating
Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., as applicable, to
redeem part or all of their common units or class B common
limited partnership units, as applicable, for cash (based upon
the fair market value, as defined in the applicable partnership
agreement, of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of
the Company at the time of redemption) or the Operating
Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P. may, in its respective
sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limits on ownership
and transfer of common stock set forth in the Companys
charter), elect to have the Company exchange those common units
or class B common limited partnership units, as applicable,
for shares of the Companys common stock on a
one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock
dividends, issuance of certain rights, certain extraordinary
distributions and similar events. With each redemption or
exchange of the Operating Partnerships common units, the
Companys percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership
will increase. Common limited partners and class B common
limited partners may exercise this redemption right from time to
time, in whole or in part, subject to certain limitations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Operating
Partnership redeemed 42,983 of its common limited partnership
units for an equivalent number of shares of the Companys
common stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company
issued approximately 8.4 million shares of its common stock
for net proceeds of approximately $472.1 million, which
were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
the issuance of approximately 8.4 million general
partnership units. As a result of the common stock issuance,
there was a significant reallocation of partnership interests
due to the difference in the Companys stock price at
issuance as compared to the book value per share at the time of
issuance. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the
offering for general corporate purposes and, over the long term,
to expand its global development business.
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred
stock for issuance, of which the following series were
designated as of March 31, 2007: 1,595,337 shares of
series D 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

In December 2005, the Companys board of directors approved
a new two-year common stock repurchase program for the
discretionary repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its
common stock. The Company did not repurchase or retire any of
its shares of common stock during the three months ended
March 31, 2007.
The Companys stock incentive plans have approximately
2.7 million shares of common stock still available for
issuance as either stock options or restricted stock grants, of
which 2.0 million are eligible to be used for new grants.
The fair value of each option grant was generally estimated at
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and
forfeitures within the valuation model. Expected volatilities
are based on historical volatility of the Companys stock.
The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the
option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect
at the time of the grant. The fair values of grants issued
during the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, were
$10.18 and $8.54, respectively. The following assumptions are
used for grants during the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively: dividend yields of 3.4% and 3.5%;
expected volatility of 18.9% and 17.9%; risk-free interest rates
of 4.6% and 4.6%; and expected lives of six years, respectively.
As of March 31, 2007, approximately 6,117,609 options and
686,671 non-vested stock awards were outstanding under the
plans. There were 501,058 stock options granted, 1,218,592
options exercised, and 11,882 options forfeited during the three
months ended March 31, 2007. There were 255,671 restricted
stock awards made during the three months ended March 31,
2007. 179,477 non-vested stock awards vested and 1,072
non-vested stock awards were forfeited during the three months
ended March 31, 2007. The related stock option expense was
$1.9 million and $2.1 million and the related
restricted stock compensation expense was $3.2 million

The Companys only dilutive securities outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were stock

AMB
PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company has two lines of business, real estate operations
and Capital Partners. Real estate operations is comprised of
various segments while Capital Partners consists of a single
segment, on which the Company evaluates its performance:
|
|
|
|
|
Real Estate Operations. The Company operates
industrial properties and manages its business by geographic
markets. Such industrial properties 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 Companys geographic markets for
industrial properties are managed separately because each market
requires different operating, pricing and leasing strategies.
Each market is considered to be an individual operating segment
having similar economic characteristics that are combined within
the reported segment based upon geographic location. The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The
Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating
income of the combined properties in each segment, which are
listed below. In addition, the Companys development
business is included under real estate operations. It primarily
consists of the Companys development of real estate
properties that are subsequently contributed to a property fund
in which the Company has an ownership interest in and acts as
manager, or sold to third parties. The Company evaluates
performance of the development business by reported operating
segment based upon gains generated from the disposition
and/or
contribution of real estate. The assets of the development
business generally include properties under development and land
held for development. During the period between the completion
of development of a property and the date the property is
contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture or sold to a
third party, the property and its associated rental income and
property operating costs are included in the real estate
operations segment because the primary activity associated with
the property during that period is leasing. Upon contribution or
sale, the resulting gain or loss is included as gains from
dispositions of real estate interests or development profits, as
appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Capital Partners. The Company through its
private capital group and AMB Capital Partners, LLC, provides
real estate investment, portfolio management and reporting
services to co-investment joint ventures and clients. The
private capital income earned consists of acquisition and
development fees, asset management fees and priority
distributions, and promoted interests and incentive
distributions from the Companys co-investment joint
ventures and AMB Capital Partners clients. The accounting
policies of the segment are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies under Note 2,
Interim Financial Statements. The Company evaluates performance
based upon private capital income.
|
The segment information for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and as of December 31, 2006, has been
reclassified to conform to current presentation.

The markets included are a subset of the Companys regions
defined as East, Southwest and West Central in North America,
Europe and Asia. |

|
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 Companys 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 Companys 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
Companys results from operations. Further, the
Companys NOI may not be comparable to that of other real
estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for
calculating NOI.

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 55 years. Buildings and
improvements subject to ground leases are being amortized
ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or
40 years.
Standby Letters of Credit. As of
March 31, 2007, the Company had provided approximately
$22.6 million in letters of credit, of which
$12.5 million were provided under the Operating
Partnerships $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 March 31, 2007,
the Company had outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount
of $70.6 million in connection with certain acquisitions.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company guaranteed
$33.2 million and $83.2 million on outstanding loans
on three of its consolidated joint ventures and one of its
unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively. In addition, as of
March 31, 2007, the Company guaranteed $117.8 million
on outstanding property debt related to one of its
unconsolidated joint ventures.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of
March 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding performance and
surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $12.3 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.
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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
24

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
practice. In addition, certain of the Companys 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.
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 Companys third-party policies. The
captive insurance company is one element of the Companys
overall risk management program. 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 Companys properties.
Annually, the Company engages an independent third party to
perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims,
related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund
associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may
be adjusted based on this estimate. Like premiums paid to
third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be
reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific lease terms.
Through this structure, the Company believes that it has more
comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than
would otherwise be available in the market.
On April 17, 2007, the Operating Partnership redeemed all
800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series J Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single
institutional investor and all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95%
Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited
Partnership Units from another single institutional investor.
The Operating Partnership redeemed the Series J Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units for
$40.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid distributions
through April 16, 2007. The Operating Partnership redeemed
the Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited
Partnership Units for $40.0 million, plus accrued and
unpaid distributions through April 16, 2007.
On April 17, 2007, another of the Companys
subsidiaries, AMB Property II, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership, repurchased all 510,000 of its outstanding 8.00%
Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited
Partnership Units from a single institutional investor. AMB
Property II, L.P. repurchased the units for
$25.5 million, plus accrued and unpaid distributions
through April 16, 2007, less applicable withholding, on the
Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited
Partnership Units.
The Company wrote-off approximately $3.0 million in
deferred issuance costs related to the redemption of the
Series J and K units and the repurchase of the
Series I units.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
|
Some of the information included in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
contains forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to
the safe-harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Because these
forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements, and you should not rely on the
forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The
events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements
might not occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as
believes, expects, may,
will, should, seeks,
approximately, intends,
plans, pro forma, estimates
or anticipates, or the negative of these words and
phrases, or similar words or phrases. You can also identify
forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or
intentions. Forward-looking statements should not be read as
guarantees of future performance or results, and will not
necessarily be accurate indicators of whether, or the time at
which, such performance or results will be achieved. There is no
assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in
forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on
assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise
and we may not be able to realize them.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual
results and future events to differ materially from those set
forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in general economic conditions or in the real estate
sector;
|
|
|
|
defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers or renewal
at lower than expected rent;
|
|
|
|
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in
effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms and the failure of
acquisitions to perform as we expect;
|
|
|
|
risks and uncertainties affecting property development and
renovation (including construction delays, cost overruns, our
inability to obtain necessary permits and financing, public
opposition to these activities, as well as the risks associated
with our expansion of and increased investment in our
development business);
|
|
|
|
risks of doing business internationally, including
unfamiliarity with new markets and currency risks;
|
|
|
|
risks of opening offices globally (including increasing
headcount);
|
|
|
|
a downturn in the California, U.S., or the global economy or
real estate conditions;
|
|
|
|
risks of changing personnel and roles;
|
|
|
|
losses in excess of our insurance coverage;
|
|
|
|
our failure to divest of properties on advantageous terms or
to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures;
|
|
|
|
unknown liabilities acquired in connection with acquired
properties or otherwise;
|
|
|
|
risks associated with using debt to fund acquisitions and
development, including re-financing risks;
|
|
|
|
our failure to obtain necessary financing;
|
|
|
|
our failure to maintain our current credit agency
ratings;
|
|
|
|
risks associated with equity and debt securities financings
and issuances (including the risk of dilution);
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes in local, state and federal regulatory
requirements;
|
|
|
|
increases in real property tax rates;
|
|
|
|
increases in interest rates and operating costs or greater
than expected capital expenditures;
|
|
|
|
environmental uncertainties; and
|
26
|
|
|
|
|
our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.
|
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally,
various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk
factors discussed under the heading Risk Factors and
elsewhere in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006. We caution you not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which
reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of this
report or as of the dates indicated in the statements. All of
our forward-looking statements, including those in this report,
are qualified in their entirety by this statement. We assume no
obligation to update or supplement forward-looking
statements.

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.
Managements
Overview
The primary source of our revenue and earnings is rent received
from customers under long-term (generally three to ten years)
operating leases at our properties, including reimbursements
from customers for certain operating costs. We also produce
earnings from our private capital business, which consists of
acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and
priority distributions, and promoted interests and incentive
distributions from our co-investment joint ventures.
Additionally, we produce earnings from the disposition of
projects in our
development-for-sale
program and from the contributions of development properties to
our co-investment joint ventures. Our long-term growth is driven
by our ability to maintain and increase occupancy rates or
increase rental rates at our properties, and by our ability to
continue to develop and acquire new properties.
National industrial markets continued to improve. According to
preliminary data provided by Torto-Wheaton Research,
availability dropped 10 basis points in the first quarter
of 2007 to 9.3%. This follows a drop of 40 basis points for
full-year 2006, according to the same source. We think the
strongest industrial markets in the U.S. are the coastal
markets tied to global trade, including Los Angeles, our largest
market, Miami, the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle, and
to a lesser degree Northern New Jersey/New York (with the
exception of the Exit 8A submarket). While we believe that the
broader Chicago market is showing signs of stabilization,
certain submarkets, like the OHare submarket, are
relatively strong. Dallas continues to recover, and Atlanta
continues to suffer from a large increase in supply. Based on
our assessment, the operating environment in our
U.S. on-tarmac business remains good with improving cargo
volumes and essentially no new supply.
We think investor demand for industrial property has remained
strong over the past several years as a result of increasing
national sales volumes and declining acquisition capitalization
rates. We capitalized on this demand for industrial property by
accelerating the repositioning of our portfolio, through the
disposition of non-core properties, which was effectively
completed in 2006 with our exit from the Charlotte, Columbus and
Memphis markets. We plan to continue selling selected assets on
an opportunistic basis or that no longer fit our strategic
investment objectives, but we have substantially achieved our
repositioning goals.
Occupancy levels in our portfolio continue to outperform the
national industrial market, as determined by Torto-Wheaton
Research. We believe that higher occupancy levels in our
portfolio, driven, in part, by strengthening fundamentals in our
markets tied to global trade, are contributing to rental rate
growth in our portfolio. In our stronger markets, our focus is
now on increasing rents as opposed to occupancy. During the
prior periods of
27
decreasing or stabilizing rental rates, we focused on occupancy
by striving 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.

for our owned and managed operating properties as of and for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

|
On a consolidated basis, rent increases on renewals and
rollovers were 2.6%, 3.8% and 2.9%, for our largest global
markets, other global markets and total markets, respectively. |
At March 31, 2007, our operating portfolios occupancy
rate was 95.2%, on an owned and managed basis, a decrease of
90 basis points from the prior quarter and an increase of
90 basis points from March 31, 2006. Rental rates on
lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio increased 2.8% in
the first quarter of 2007, which we think reflects the generally
positive trends in the U.S. industrial availability. Cash
basis same store net operating income with and without the
effect of lease termination fees, grew by 6.3% in the first
quarter of 2007, on an owned and managed basis. Cash basis same
store net operating income consists of 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, 2005. See Part I, Item 2:
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Supplemental
Earnings Measures for a discussion of cash-basis same
store net operating income and a reconciliation of cash-basis
same store net operating income and net income. We currently
expect that cash-basis same store growth in our operating
portfolio, excluding lease termination fees, will be
approximately 3% to 4% for 2007, on an owned and managed basis.
Market rents continue to rebound from their lows and in many of
our markets are back to or above their prior peak levels of 2001.
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 think development,
renovation and expansion of well-located, high-quality
28
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. 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. As a result of our global expansion and
increased development capabilities, we have increased our
development pipeline to approximately $1.4 billion at
March 31, 2007. In addition to our committed development
pipeline, we hold a total of 2,088 acres for future
development or sale, 95% of which is in North America. We
currently estimate that these 2,088 acres of land could
support approximately 35.3 million square feet of future
development.
Going forward, we think our co-investment program with
private-capital investors will continue to serve as a
significant source of revenues and capital for new investments.
Through these co-investment joint ventures, we typically earn
acquisition fees, asset management fees and priority
distributions, as well as promoted interests and incentive
distributions based on the performance of the co-investment
joint ventures; however, we cannot assure you that we will
continue to do so. Through contribution of development
properties to our co-investment joint ventures, we expect to
recognize value creation from our development pipeline. As of
March 31, 2007, we owned approximately 66.3 million
square feet of our properties (51.7% 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 2010, we expect to have approximately 50% of our
owned and managed operating portfolio invested in
non-U.S. markets
(based on owned and managed annualized base rent). As of
March 31, 2007, our
non-U.S. operating
properties comprised 14.7% of our owned and managed operating
portfolio (based on annualized base rent) and 7.8% of our
consolidated operating portfolio (based on annualized base
rent). In addition to the U.S., we include Canada and Mexico as
target countries in North America. In Europe, our target
countries currently are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Asia, our target
countries currently are China, India, Japan, Singapore and South
Korea. We expect to add additional target countries outside the
United States in the future.
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.

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. There has been no material changes
in our significant accounting policies included in the notes to
our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report
on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006.
THE
COMPANY
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 use the term
owned and managed to describe assets in which we
have at least a 10% ownership interest, for which we are the
property or asset manager, and which we intend to hold for the
long-term.
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate
company effective with the completion of our initial public
offering on November 26, 1997. Our strategy focuses on
providing properties for customers who value the efficient
movement of goods located mostly in the worlds busiest
distribution markets: large, supply-constrained locations with
proximity to airports, seaports and major highway systems. As of
March 31, 2007, we owned, or had investments in, on a
consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures,
properties and development projects expected to total
approximately 128.2 million square feet (11.9 million
square meters) and 1,101 buildings in 40 markets within thirteen
countries. Additionally, as of March 31, 2007, we managed,
but did not have a significant ownership interest in, industrial
and other properties totaling approximately 1.5 million
rentable square feet.
We operate our business primarily through our subsidiary, AMB
Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer
to as the operating partnership. As of
March 31, 2007, we owned an approximate 95.5% general
partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding
preferred units. As the sole general partner of the
30
operating partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete
responsibility for and discretion in its
day-to-day
management and control.
Our investment strategy generally targets customers whose
businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the
World Trade Organization, has grown more than three times the
world gross domestic product growth rate over the last
30 years. To serve the facility needs of these customers,
we seek to invest globally in major distribution markets and
transportation hubs that, generally, are tied to global trade.
Our strategy is to be a leading provider of industrial
properties in supply-constrained submarkets of our targets
markets. These submarkets are generally characterized by large
population densities and typically offer substantial consumer
concentrations, proximity to large clusters of
distribution-facility users and significant labor pools, and are
generally located near key international passenger and cargo
airports, seaports and major highway systems. When measured by
annualized base rent, on an owned and managed basis, the
substantial majority of our portfolio of industrial properties
is located in our target markets, and much of this is in in-fill
submarkets within our target markets. In-fill locations are
characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land
for competing projects as well as physical, political or
economic barriers to new development.
Further, in many of our target markets, we focus on
HTD®
facilities, which are buildings designed to facilitate the rapid
distribution of our customers products rather than storage
of goods. Our investment focus on
HTD®
assets is based on what we think to be a global trend toward
lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains.
HTD®facilities
generally have a variety of physical characteristics that allow
for the rapid transport of goods from
point-to-point.
These physical characteristics could include numerous dock
doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck
courts and more space for trailer parking. We think these
building characteristics represent an important success factor
for time-sensitive customers such as air express, logistics and
freight forwarding companies, and that these facilities function
best when located in convenient proximity to transportation
infrastructure, such as major airports and seaports.
Of the approximately 128.2 million rentable square feet as
of March 31, 2007:
|
|
|
|
|
on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on
a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures,
we owned and managed properties, principally warehouse
distribution facilities, encompassing approximately
103.2 million rentable square feet that were 95.2% leased;
|
|
|
|
on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on
a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures,
we had investments in 44 industrial development projects which
are expected to total approximately 14.7 million rentable
square feet upon completion and one industrial operating
property, totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet
which is available for sale or contribution;
|
|
|
|
on a consolidated basis, we owned eleven development projects,
totaling approximately 2.7 million rentable square feet
that are available for sale or contribution; and
|
|
|
|
through other non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures, we had
investments in 46 industrial operating properties, totaling
approximately 7.4 million rentable square feet.
|
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, property
acquisitions, on an owned and managed basis, totaled
$141.8 million in the U.S. and Asia, including acquisitions
by AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III and AMB Japan
Fund I, two of our unconsolidated joint ventures, totaling
$104.3 million and $17.3 million, respectively. There
were no operating property dispositions during the quarter ended
March 31, 2007. We contributed an operating asset for
$4.6 million and completed development projects for
$56.0 million to our private capital joint ventures as part
of our continuing strategy to increase the proportion of our
assets owned in co-investment joint ventures. During the
quarter, we sold to third parties $24.7 million of
development properties.
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 a Strategic Alliance
Program®
in which we have established relationships with third-party real
31
estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide
property-level administrative and management services under our
direction.
Our global headquarters are located at Pier 1, Bay 1,
San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is
(415) 394-9000.
We maintain other office locations in Amsterdam, Atlanta,
Baltimore, Beijing, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Frankfurt, Los
Angeles, Menlo Park, New Jersey, New York, Nagoya, Narita,
Osaka, Paris, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo and Vancouver. As of
March 31, 2007, we employed 447 individuals: 177 in our
San Francisco headquarters, 60 in our Boston office, 43 in
our Tokyo office, 36 in our Amsterdam office and the remainder
in our other offices. Our website address is www.amb.com.

Operating
Strategy
We base our operating strategy on a variety of operational and
service offerings, including in-house acquisitions, development,
redevelopment, asset management, property management, leasing,
finance, accounting and market research. Our strategy is to
leverage our expertise across a large customer base, and
complement our internal management resources with long-standing
relationships with entrepreneurial real estate management and
development firms in certain of our target markets.
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business
and best operated by local teams in each market comprised of AMB
employees, local alliance partners or both. We intend to
continue to increase utilization of internal management
resources in target markets to achieve both operating
efficiencies and to expose our customers to the broadening array
of AMB service offerings, including access to multiple locations
worldwide and
build-to-suit
developments. We actively manage our portfolio, whether directly
or with an alliance partner, by establishing leasing strategies,
negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of
property improvements.
Growth
Strategies
Growth
through Operations
We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent
increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space 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 March 31, 2007,
rent on renewed and released space in our operating portfolio
increased 2.8%, on an owned and managed basis. This amount
excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage
rents and straight-line rents. During the three months ended
March 31, 2007, cash basis same store net operating income
increased by 6.3%, on an owned and managed basis. Since our
initial public offering in November 1997, on a consolidated
basis, we have experienced average annual increases in
industrial property base rental rates of 4.3% and maintained an
average quarter-end occupancy rate of 95.0% in our industrial
property operating portfolio. While we think that it is
important to view real estate as a long-term investment, past
results are not necessarily an indication of future performance.
See Supplemental Earnings Measures for a discussion
of cash-basis same store net operating income and a
reconciliation of cash-basis same store net operating income and
net income and Part I, Item 1: Note 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.
32
Growth
through Development and Value-Added Conversions
We think 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 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 development of land or a building site
for a more valuable use and may include such activities as
rezoning, redesigning, reconstructing and retenanting. Both new
development and value-added conversions require significant
management attention and capital investment to maximize their
return. Completed development properties are generally
contributed to our co-investment joint ventures and held in our
owned and managed portfolio or sold to third parties. We think
our global market presence and expertise will enable us to
continue to generate and capitalize on a diverse range of
development opportunities.
The multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should
provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on
strategic renovation, expansion and development opportunities.
Many of our officers have specific experience in real estate
development, both with us and with national development firms,
and over the past four years, we have significantly expanded our
development staff. We pursue development projects directly and
in joint ventures, providing us with the flexibility to pursue
development projects independently or in partnerships, depending
on market conditions, submarkets or building sites.
Growth
through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment
Our acquisition experience and our network of property
management, leasing and acquisition resources should continue to
provide opportunities for growth. In addition to our internal
resources, we have long-term relationships with third-party
local property management firms, which may give us access to
additional acquisition opportunities, as such managers
frequently market properties on behalf of sellers. We think our
UPREIT structure, which enables us to acquire land and
industrial properties in exchange for limited partnership units
in the operating partnership or AMB Property II, L.P.,
another of our operating partnerships, 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 2010, we expect to have approximately 50% of our
owned and managed operating portfolio invested in
non-U.S. markets
(based on annualized base rent). As of March 31, 2007, our
non-U.S. operating
properties comprised 14.7% of our owned and managed operating
portfolio (based on annualized base rent) and 7.8% of our
consolidated operating portfolio (based on annualized base
rent). In addition to the United States, we include Canada and
Mexico as target countries in North America. In Europe, target
countries currently are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Asia target
countries currently are China, India, Japan, Singapore and South
Korea. We expect to add additional target countries outside the
United States in the future.
Expansion into target markets outside the U.S. 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
33
development. Our international investments extend our offering
of
HTD®
facilities for customers who value
speed-to-market
over storage. Specifically, we are focused on customers whose
business is derived from global trade. In addition, our
investments target major consumer distribution markets and
customers. We think that our established customer relationships,
our contacts in the air cargo and logistics industries, our
underwriting of markets and investments and our strategic
alliances with knowledgeable developers and managers will assist
us in competing internationally. For a discussion of the amount
of our revenues attributable to the United States and
international markets, please see Part I, Item 1:
Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Growth
through Co-Investments
We co-invest in properties with private-capital investors
through partnerships, limited liability companies or joint
ventures. Our co-investment joint ventures are managed by our
private capital group and typically operate under the same
investment strategy that we apply to our other operations.
Typically, we will own a
15-50%
interest in our co-investment joint ventures. We expect our
co-investment program will continue to serve as a source of
capital for acquisitions and developments; however, we cannot
assure you that it will continue to do so. In addition, our
co-investment joint ventures typically allow us to earn
acquisition and development fees, asset management fees or
priority distributions, as well as promoted interests or
incentive distributions based on the performance of the
co-investment joint ventures. As of March 31, 2007, we
owned approximately 66.3 million square feet of our
properties (51.7% of the total operating and development
portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated joint
ventures.
CONSOLIDATED
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Effective October 1, 2006, we deconsolidated AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., on a prospective
basis, due to the re-evaluation of the accounting for our
investment in the fund in light of changes to the partnership
agreement regarding the general partners rights effective
October 1, 2006. As a result, our results of operations
presented below are not comparable between years presented.
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store
growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures.
Same store properties are those that we owned during both the
current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development
properties stabilized after December 31, 2005 (generally
defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for
which we have held a certificate of occupancy or where building
has been substantially complete for at least 12 months).
As of March 31, 2007, same store industrial properties
consisted of properties aggregating approximately
77.1 million square feet. The properties acquired during
the three months ended March 31, 2007, consisted of one
property, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square
feet. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, our
acquisitions consisted of six properties, aggregating
approximately 2.1 million square feet. During the three
months ended March 31, 2007, property divestitures and
contributions consisted of three properties, aggregating
approximately 0.6 million square feet. During the three
months ended March 31, 2006, property divestitures
consisted of three properties, aggregating approximately
0.3 million square feet. Our future financial condition and
results of operations, including rental revenues, may be
impacted by the acquisition of additional properties and
dispositions. Our future revenues and expenses may vary
materially from historical results.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues decreased
$11.6 million from the prior year on a
quarter-to-date
basis due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund III, L.P. Pro forma same store rental
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, would have
been $135.1 million, if AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund III, L.P. had been deconsolidated as of
January 1, 2006. The properties acquired during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006 consisted of 27 properties,
aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. The
properties acquired during the first quarter of 2007 consisted
of one building, aggregating approximately 0.2 million
square feet. The increase in rental revenues from development is
primarily due to increased occupancy at several of our
development projects where development activities have been
substantially completed. Other industrial revenues include
rental revenues from development projects that have reached
certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same
store operating pool of properties. The decrease in revenues
from
non-U.S. industrial
properties is primarily due to the contribution of certain
non-U.S. industrial
properties to two of our unconsolidated joint ventures during
2006. The increase in private capital income of
$0.8 million was primarily due to an increase in asset
management fees as a result of an increase in total assets under
management.

Same store properties operating expenses showed a decrease
of $1.7 million from the prior year on a
quarter-to-date
basis due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund III, L.P. Pro forma same store operating
expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, would have
been $36.5 million, if AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund III, L.P. had been deconsolidated as of
January 1, 2006. The 2006 acquisitions consisted of 27
properties, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square
feet. The 2007 acquisitions consisted of one property,
aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet. The
increase in development operating costs is primarily due to
increased operations in certain development projects which have
been substantially completed. Other industrial expenses include
expenses from development properties that have reached certain
levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store
operating pool of properties. In 2006 and 2007, we continued to
acquire properties in China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and
the Netherlands, resulting in increased international operating
costs. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was
due to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund III, L.P. The increase in general and administrative
expenses was primarily due to additional staffing and the
opening of new satellite offices both domestically and
internationally. The impairment loss during the quarter ended
March 31, 2006, was taken on a non-core asset as a result
of leasing activities and changes in the economic environment.
Other expenses increased approximately $0.4 million from
the prior year on a
quarter-to-quarter
basis due primarily to 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
decrease of fund costs from the prior year on a
quarter-to-date
basis is due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and greater fund
costs in 2006 related to the dissolution of AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund I, L.P.

Other income increased approximately $2.0 million as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, due
primarily to insurance proceeds related to losses from
hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. Development profits represent
gainsfrom the sale or contribution of development projects
including land. The increase in development profits was
primarily due to increased contribution volume during the three
months ended March 31, 2007. During the three months ended
March 31, 2007, we sold two development projects, totaling
approximately 0.1 million square feet for
$24.7 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of
approximately $3.3 million. During the three months ended
March 31, 2007, we contributed two completed development
projects totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet
into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P and AMB-SGP
Mexico, LLC, two unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, two
land parcels were contributed into AMB DFS Fund I, LLC, a
co-investment partnership. As a result of these contributions,
we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of approximately
$8.9 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
March 31, 2006, we sold one land parcel for an aggregate
price of $4.7 million, resulting in an after tax gain of
approximately $0.7 million. The decrease in interest
expense, including amortization, was due primarily to decreased
borrowings on unsecured credit facilities and the
deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III,
L.P., partially offset by refinancing costs associated with the
refinanced $305.0 million of secured debt for AMB-SGP,
L.P., one of our co-investment joint ventures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we did not
divest any industrial buildings. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we divested three industrial buildings,
aggregating approximately 0.3 million square feet, for an
aggregate price of $14.7 million, with a resulting net gain
of $7.0 million.

In August 2006, we issued 2,000,000 shares of 6.85%
Series P Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The
increase in preferred stock dividends is due to the then
newly-issued shares. In addition, during March 2006,
AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries,
redeemed all 840,000 of its outstanding 8.125% Series H
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units, and we
recognized a reduction of income available to common
stockholders of $1.1 million for the original issuance
costs.
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 equity (common and preferred) or debt securities
offerings;
|
|
|
|
proceeds from limited partnership unit offerings (including
issuances of limited partnership units by our
subsidiaries); and
|
|
|
|
net proceeds from divestitures of properties.
|
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will
include:
|
|
|
|
|
working capital;
|
|
|
|
development, expansion and renovation of properties;
|
|
|
|
acquisitions, including our global expansion;
|
37
|
|
|
|
|
debt service; and
|
|
|
|
dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred
stock and limited partnership units.
|
Cash flows. For the three months ended
March 31, 2007, cash provided by operating activities was
$56.0 million as compared to $52.1 million for the
same period in 2006. This change is primarily due to changes in
our assets and liabilities 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. Cash used
for investing activities was $162.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to cash used for
investing activities of $309.1 million for the same period
in 2006. This change is primarily due to a decrease in funds
used for property acquisitions and capital expenditures and an
increase in proceeds from divestitures of real estate driven by
increased volume. Cash provided by financing activities was
$191.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$165.6 million for the same period in 2006. This change is
due primarily to an increase in borrowings, net of repayments,
the refinancing of $305.0 million of secured debt for one
of our co-investment joint ventures, the issuance of common
stock upon the exercise of options and the issuance of
approximately 8.4 million shares of common stock for net
proceeds of approximately $472.1 million, which were offset
by an increase in payments on secured debt, credit facilities,
and senior debt, during the three months ended March 31,
2007.
We believe our sources of working capital, specifically our cash
flow from operations, borrowings available under our unsecured
credit facilities and our ability to access private and public
debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet our
liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. The
unavailability of capital could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay
dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
Capital
Resources
Property Divestitures. During the three months
ended March 31, 2007, we did not divest of any industrial
buildings. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we
divested of three industrial buildings aggregating approximately
0.3 million square feet, for an aggregate price of
$14.7 million, with a resulting net gain of
$7.0 million.
Gains from Contributions of Real Estate
Interests. During the three months ended
March 31, 2007, we contributed into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, an
operating property, aggregating approximately 0.1 million
square feet, for approximately $4.6 million. We recognized
a gain of $0.1 million on the contribution, representing
the portion of our interest in the contributed property acquired
by a third-party investor for cash. For the three months ended
March 31, 2006, no such contributions were made by us.
Development Starts. During the three months
ended March 31, 2007, we initiated five new industrial
development projects in North America and Asia with a total
expected investment of $190.7 million, aggregating
approximately 1.9 million square feet. During the three
months ended March 31, 2006, we initiated seven new
industrial development projects in North America and Asia with a
total expected investment of $218.8 million, aggregating
approximately 2.9 million square feet.
Development Contributions. During the three
months ended March 31, 2007, we contributed one
0.3 million square foot completed development project and
one 0.2 million square foot completed development project
into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and AMB-SGP
Mexico LLC, respectively, both unconsolidated joint ventures. In
addition, two land parcels were contributed into AMB DFS
Fund I, LLC. As a result of these contributions, we
recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $8.9 million,
representing the portion of our interest in the contributed
properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash.
Properties Held for Contribution. As of
March 31, 2007, we held for contribution to co-investment
joint ventures ten industrial projects with an aggregate net
book value of $145.0 million, which, when contributed to a
joint venture, will reduce our current ownership interest from
approximately 89% to an expected range of
15-20%.
Properties Held for Divestiture. As of
March 31, 2007, we held for divestiture two industrial
projects with an aggregate net book value of $11.2 million.
These properties either are not in our core markets or do not
meet our
38
current investment objectives, or are included as part of our
development-for-sale
program. The divestitures of the properties are subject to
negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions.
Properties held for divestiture are stated at the lower of cost
or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Co-investment Joint Ventures. Through the
operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint
ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint
ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us
with an additional source of capital to fund certain
acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as
well as private capital income. We 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 and the general partners do not have
significant rights under EITF

AMB DFS Fund I, LLC is a co-investment partnership formed
in 2006 with a subsidiary of GE Real Estate to build and sell
properties. |
We also have a 0.1% unconsolidated equity interest (with an
approximate 33% economic interest) in AMB Pier One, LLC, a joint
venture related to the 2000 redevelopment of the pier which
houses our office space in the San Francisco Bay Area. The
investment is not consolidated because we do not exercise
control over major operating decisions such as approval of
budgets, selection of property managers, investment activity and
changes in financing. We have an option to purchase the
remaining equity interest beginning January 1, 2007 and
expiring December 31, 2009, based on the fair market value
as stipulated in the joint venture agreement. As of
March 31, 2007, we also had an approximate 39.0%
unconsolidated equity interest in G.Accion, a Mexican real
estate company. G.Accion provides management and development
services for industrial, retail, residential and office
properties in Mexico. In addition, as of March 31, 2007,
one of our subsidiaries also had an approximate 5% interest in
IAT Air Cargo Facilities Income Fund (IAT), a Canadian income
trust specializing in aviation-related real estate at
Canadas leading international airports. This equity
investment is included in other assets on the consolidated
balance sheets.
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
March 31, 2007: 1,595,337 shares of series D
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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we issued
approximately 8.4 million shares of our common stock for
net proceeds of approximately $472.1 million, which were
contributed to the operating partnership in exchange for the
issuance of approximately 8.4 million general partnership
units. As a result of the common stock issuance, there was a
significant reallocation of partnership interests due to the
difference in our stock price at issuance as compared to the
book value per share at the time of issuance. We intend to use
the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes
and, over the long term, to expand our global development
business.
In December 2005, our board of directors approved a new two-year
common stock repurchase program for the discretionary repurchase
of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. We did not
repurchase or retire any shares of our common stock during the
three months ended March 31, 2007.
Debt. In order to maintain financial
flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through
market cycles, we presently intend to operate with an our share
of total
debt-to-our
share of total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45%
or less. As of March 31, 2007, our share of total
debt-to-our
share of total market capitalization ratio was 30.5%. (See
footnote 1 to the Capitalization Ratios table below for our
definitions of our share of total market
capitalization, market equity and our
share of total debt.) However, we typically finance our
co-investment joint ventures with secured debt at a
loan-to-value
ratio of
50-65% per
our joint venture agreements. Additionally, we currently intend
to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an investment
grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless of these
policies, however, our organizational documents do not limit the
amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our
management could alter or eliminate these policies without
stockholder approval or circumstances could arise that could
render us unable to comply with these policies.
40
As of March 31, 2007, the aggregate principal amount of our
secured debt was $1.6 billion, excluding unamortized debt
premiums of $5.5 million. Of the $1.6 billion of
secured debt, $1.2 billion is secured by properties in our
joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and
bears interest at rates varying from 1.1% to 10.4% per
annum (with a weighted average rate of 5.4%) and final maturity
dates ranging from May 2007 to February 2024. As of
March 31, 2007, $1.3 billion of the secured debt
obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a weighted average
interest rate of 5.5%, while the remaining $307.8 million
bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average
interest rate of 5.3%).
On December 8, 2006, we executed a 228.0 million euros
facility agreement (approximately $304.5 million in U.S.
dollars, using the exchange rate at March 31, 2007), which
provides that certain of our affiliates may borrow either
acquisition loans, up to a 100.0 million euros
sub-limit
(approximately $133.5 million in U.S. dollars, using the
exchange rate at March 31, 2007), or secured term loans, in
connection with properties located in France, Germany, the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy or Spain. On
March 21, 2007, we increased the facility amount limit from
228.0 million euros to 328.0 million euros
(approximately $438.0 million in U.S. dollars, using the
exchange rate at March 31, 2007). Drawings under the term
facility bear interest at a rate of 65 basis points over EURIBOR
and may occur until, and mature on, April 30, 2014.
Drawings under the acquisition loan facility bear interest at a
rate of 75 basis points over EURIBOR and are repayable within
six months of the date of advance, unless extended. The
acquisition loan facility is available for drawing until
December 8, 2007. We guarantee the acquisition loan
facility and are a carve-out indemnifier in respect of the term
loans. These responsibilities can be transferred upon the
occurrence of certain events, and we will be fully discharged
from all such obligations upon such transfer. As of
March 31, 2007, there were approximately 201.3 million
euros in term loans outstanding under the facility
(approximately $268.8 million in U.S. dollars, using the
exchange rate at March 31, 2007) which is included in
our secured debt balance.
On February 14, 2007, seven subsidiaries of AMB-SGP, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership, which is one of our
subsidiaries, entered into a loan agreement for a
$305 million secured financing. On the same day, pursuant
to the loan agreement the same seven subsidiaries delivered four
promissory notes to the two lenders, each of which matures on
March 5, 2012. One note has a principal of
$160 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%.
The second is a $40 million note with an interest rate of
81 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate, the third
note has a principal of $84 million and a fixed interest
rate of 5.90%, and the final note has a principal of
$21 million and bears interest at a rate of 135 basis
points above the one-month LIBOR rate.
As of March 31, 2007, the operating partnership had
outstanding an aggregate of $1.1 billion in unsecured
senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 6.2% and had a weighted average term of 4.8 years.
These unsecured senior debt securities include
$300.0 million in notes issued in June 1998,
$205.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued
under the operating partnerships 2000 medium-term note
program, $275.0 million of medium-term notes, which were
issued under the operating partnerships 2002 medium-term
note program, $175.0 million of medium-term notes, which
were issued under the operating partnerships 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
$100.0 million of notes that were issued in June 1998
resulting in a discount of approximately $12.5 million. The
unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various
covenants.
We guarantee the operating partnerships 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 partnerships obligations under the credit
41
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 partnerships long-term debt rating, which was
42.5 basis points as of March 31, 2007, with an annual
facility fee of 15 basis points. The four-year credit
facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to
$550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Euros,
Yen or British Pounds Sterling. The operating partnership uses
its unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions,
funding development activity and general working capital
requirements. As of March 31, 2007, there were no
outstanding borrowings and the remaining amount available was
$537.5 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of
$12.5 million.
On June 23, 2006, our subsidiary AMB Japan Finance Y.K., 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 March 31, 2007, equaled approximately
$381.9 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 March 31, 2007,
equaled approximately $297.0 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 March 31, 2007, equaled approximately
$466.8 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 partnerships long-term
debt and was 42.5 basis points as of March 31, 2007.
In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in
quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit rating of the
operating partnerships long-term debt, and was
15 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the
facility as of March 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2007,
the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the
exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2007, was
$342.5 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
partnerships senior unsecured long-term debt, which was 60
basis points as of March 31, 2007, with an annual facility
fee based on the credit rating of the operating
partnerships 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 March 31, 2007, the
outstanding balance on this facility was approximately
$132.3 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative
covenants, including financial reporting requirements and
maintenance of specified financial ratios by the operating
partnership, and negative covenants, including limitations on
the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or
consolidations.

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. |

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from
operations, will not allow us to retire all of our debt as it
comes due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with
net proceeds from future debt or equity financings, as well as
property divestitures. However, we may not be able to obtain
future financings on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to
obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all would
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations,
cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price
of, our stock.
Capital
Commitments
Development Starts. During the three months
ended March 31, 2007, we initiated five new industrial
development projects in North America and Asia with a total
expected investment of $190.7 million (unaudited),
aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet.
Development Pipeline. As of March 31,
2007, we had 44 industrial projects in our development pipeline,
which will total approximately 14.7 million square feet,
and will have an aggregate estimated investment of
$1.4 billion upon completion. We have an additional eleven
development projects available for sale or contribution totaling
approximately 2.7 million square feet, with an aggregate
estimated investment of $180.8 million. Additionally, one
project totaling $13.0 million and approximately
0.2 million square feet is held in an unconsolidated joint
venture. As of March 31, 2007, we and our joint venture
partners had funded an aggregate of $954.6 million and
needed to fund an estimated additional $475.7 million in
order to complete our development pipeline. Our development
pipeline currently includes projects expected to be completed
through the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, during the
three months ended March 31, 2007, we acquired
422 acres of land for industrial warehouse development in
North America for approximately $40.8 million.
Acquisition Activity. During the three months
ended March 31, 2007, on an owned and managed basis, we
acquired eight industrial properties; aggregating approximately
1.8 million square feet for a total expected investment of
$141.8 million (includes acquisition costs of
$137.0 million and estimated acquisition capital of
$4.8 million). Of the eight industrial properties acquired,
one approximately 0.2 million square foot industrial
property for a total expected investment of $20.2 million
(includes acquisition costs of $20.1 million and estimated
acquisition capital of $0.1 million) was acquired directly
by us and seven industrial properties aggregating approximately
1.6 million square feet for a total expected investment of
$121.6 million (includes acquisition costs of
$116.9 million and estimated acquisition capital of
$4.7 million) were acquired through two of our
unconsolidated joint ventures. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we acquired six industrial properties,
aggregating approximately 2.1 million square feet, for a
total expected investment of $153.4 million (includes
acquisition costs of $150.3 million and estimated
acquisition capital of $3.1 million). 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 55 years. These buildings and improvements
subject to ground leases are amortized ratably over the lesser
of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.
Co-investment Joint Ventures. Through the
operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint
ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint
ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us
with an additional source of capital to fund acquisitions,
development projects and renovation projects, as well as private
capital income. As of March 31, 2007, we had investments in
co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of
$1.9 billion, which are consolidated for financial
reporting purposes, and net equity investments in four
unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures of
$193.2 million and a gross book value of $2.4 billion.
As of March 31, 2007, we may make additional capital
contributions to current and planned co-investment joint
ventures of up to $162.8 million (using the exchange rates
at March 31, 2007) pursuant to the terms of the joint
venture agreements. From time to time, we may raise additional
equity commitments for AMB Institutional Alliance
46
Fund III, L.P., an open-ended unconsolidated co-investment
joint venture formed in 2004 with institutional investors, which
invests through a private real estate investment 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 affect our cash flow.
Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001,
we formed a wholly owned captive insurance company, Arcata
National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance
coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible
under our third-party policies. The captive insurance company is
one element of our overall risk management program. We
capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory
requirements. Arcata established annual premiums based on
projections derived from the past loss experience of our
properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to
perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims,
related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund
associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may
be adjusted based on this estimate. Like premiums paid to
third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be
reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific lease terms.
Through this structure, we think that we have more comprehensive
insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise
be available in the market.
Potential Contingent and Unknown
Liabilities. Contingent and unknown liabilities
may include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
liabilities for environmental conditions;
|
|
|
|
claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our
predecessors prior to our formation or acquisition transactions
that had not been asserted prior to our formation or acquisition
transactions;
|
|
|
|
accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business;
|
|
|
|
tax liabilities; and
|
|
|
|
claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our
predecessors and others indemnified by these entities.
|
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Standby Letters of Credit. As of
March 31, 2007, we had provided approximately
$22.6 million in letters of credit, of which
$12.5 million was provided under the operating
partnerships $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 March 31,
2007, we had outstanding guarantees in the aggregate
amount of $70.6 million in connection with certain
acquisitions. As of March 31, 2007, we guaranteed
$33.2 million and $83.2 million on outstanding loans
on three of our consolidated joint ventures and one of our
unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively. In addition, as of
March 31, 2007, we guaranteed $117.8 million on
outstanding property debt related to one of our unconsolidated
joint ventures.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of
March 31, 2007, we had outstanding performance and surety
bonds in an aggregate amount of $12.3 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
47
of our business, we enter into various contracts with third
parties that may obligate us to make payments, pay promotes, or
perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.
Supplemental
Earnings Measures
FFO. We believe that net income, as defined by
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP,
is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider
funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), to be a
useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. FFO is
defined as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, less
gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for
investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and
adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of consolidated
and unconsolidated joint ventures. Further, we do not adjust FFO
to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. We believe
that FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a meaningful supplemental
measure of our operating performance because historical cost
accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP
implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets
diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through
depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real
estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and
other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have
considered presentation of operating results for real estate
companies that use historical cost accounting to be
insufficient. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure
of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that
excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among
other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. We believe
that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP
presentations, has been beneficial in improving the
understanding of operating results of real estate investment
trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of
operating results among such companies more meaningful. We
consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our
comparative operating and financial performance because, by
excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously
depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate
depreciation and amortization, FFO can help the investing public
compare the operating performance of a companys real
estate between periods or as compared to other companies.
While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating
performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not
represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those
measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance.
FFO also does not consider the costs associated with capital
expenditures related to our real estate assets nor is FFO
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash
requirements. Further, our computation of FFO may not be
comparable to FFO reported by other real estate investment
trusts that do not define the term in accordance with the
current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT
definition differently than we do.

SS NOI. We believe that net income, as defined
by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we
consider same store net operating income, or SS NOI, to be a
useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. For
properties that are considered part of the same store pool, see
Part 1, Item 2: Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Consolidated Results of Operations
and Owned and Managed Operating and Leasing Statistics
Summary, page 52, Note 1. In deriving SS NOI, we
define NOI as rental revenues (as calculated in accordance with
GAAP), including reimbursements, less property operating
expenses and real estate taxes. In calculating cash-basis SS
NOI, we exclude straight-line rents and amortization of lease
intangibles from the calculation of SS NOI. We believe
cash-basis SS NOI provides a better measure of actual cash basis
rental growth for a
year-over-year
comparison. In addition, we believe that SS NOI and cash-basis
SS NOI helps the investing public compare the operating
performance of a companys real estate as compared to other
companies.
While SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI are relevant and widely used
measures of operating performance of real estate investment
trusts, these measures do not represent cash flow from
operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be
considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating our
liquidity or operating performance. SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI
also do not reflect general and administrative expenses,
interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital
expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and
construction activities that could materially impact our results
from operations. Further, our computation of SS NOI and
cash-basis SS NOI may not be comparable to that of other real
estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for
calculating SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI.

|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market
prices, interest rates and international exchange rates. Our
future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing
market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching
projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing
activities with projected cash outflows for debt service,
acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to
stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The
majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which
minimize the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to
market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection
with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings
and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval,
thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could
adversely affect our cash flows. As of March 31, 2007, we
had four outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate
notional amount of $290.9 million (in U.S. dollars)
and two foreign exchange options with an aggregate notional
amount of $367.3 million (in U.S. dollars). See
Financial Instruments below.
The table below summarizes the maturities and interest rates
associated with our fixed and variable rate debt outstanding

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased
or decreased by 10%, then the increase or decrease in interest
expense on the variable rate debt would be $2.9 million
(net of swaps) annually. As of March 31, 2007, the book
value and the estimated fair value of our total consolidated
debt (both secured and unsecured) was $3.3 billion, based
on our estimate of current market interest rates.
52
As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, variable
rate debt comprised 25.6% and 37.1%, respectively, of all our
outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $836.3 million and
$1.3 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily due to lower
outstanding balances on our credit facilities. This decrease in
our outstanding variable rate debt decreases our risk associated
with unfavorable interest rate fluctuations.
Financial Instruments. We record all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or
liability, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive
income or income. For revenues or expenses denominated in
non-functional currencies, we may use derivative financial
instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our
derivative financial instruments in effect at March 31,
2007 were four interest rate swaps hedging cash flows of our
variable rate borrowings based on U.S. Libor (USD) and
Euribor (Europe) and two put options (buy Euro/sell USD) hedging
against adverse currency exchange fluctuations of the Euro
against the U.S. dollar.

International Operations. Our exposure to
market risk also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk.
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our
subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. The
functional currency for our subsidiaries operating outside the
United States is generally the local currency of the country in
which the entity is located, mitigating the effect of foreign
exchange gains and losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional
currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial
statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are
translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial
statement date. We translate income statement accounts using the
average exchange rate for the period and significant
nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction
date. The gains resulting from the translation are included in
accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component
of stockholders equity and totaled $0.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2007.
54
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 months ended
March 31, 2007, losses from remeasurement included in our
results of operations totaled $0.5 million.
We also record gains or losses in the income statement when a
transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other
than the entitys 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 Commissions rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any
controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives, and our management is required to
apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship
of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments
in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting. As we do not control or
manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures
with respect to such entities 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 and
chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in
effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report.
Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer each concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
