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 ownership, acquisition,
development and operation of industrial properties in key
distribution markets throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the Company
means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and
their other controlled subsidiaries.
The Company uses the terms industrial properties or
industrial buildings to describe the various types
of industrial properties in its portfolio and uses these terms
interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities,
centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or
warehouses; High Throughput
Distribution®
(HTD®)
facilities; or any combination of these terms. The Company uses
the term owned and managed to describe assets in
which it has at least a 10% ownership interest, for which it is
the property or asset manager and which it currently intends to
hold long term. The Company uses the term joint
venture to describe all joint ventures, including
co-investment
ventures with real estate developers, other real estate
operators, or institutional investors where the Company may or
may not have control, act as the manager
and/or
developer, earn asset management distributions or fees, or earn
incentive distributions or promote interests. In certain cases,
the Company might provide development, leasing, property
management
and/or
accounting services, for which it may receive compensation. The
Company uses the term co-investment venture to
describe joint ventures with institutional investors, managed by
the Company, from which the Company typically receives
acquisition fees for acquisitions, portfolio and asset
management distributions or fees, as well as incentive
distributions or promote interests.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company owned an approximate
97.7% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership,
excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 2.3% 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 ventures with institutional investors. These
co-investment ventures provide the Company with an additional
source of capital and income. As of March 31, 2009, the
Company had significant investments in three consolidated and
five unconsolidated
co-investment
ventures. On July 1, 2008, the partners of AMB Partners II,
L.P. (previously, a consolidated
co-investment
venture) contributed their interests in AMB Partners II, L.P. to
AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. in exchange for
interests in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an
unconsolidated co-investment venture. No gain or loss was
recognized on the contribution.
On July 18, 2008, the Company acquired the remaining equity
interest (approximately 42%) in G. Accion, S.A. de C.V.
(G. Accion), a Mexican real estate company. G.
Accion is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and has
been renamed AMB Property Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (AMB
Property Mexico). AMB Property Mexico owns and develops
real estate and provides real estate management and development
services in Mexico. Through its investment in AMB Property
Mexico, the Company held equity interests in various other

unconsolidated joint ventures totaling approximately
$20.2 million and $24.6 million as of March 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(AMB Capital Partners), provides real estate
investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty
Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of
businesses that include development projects available for sale
or contribution to third parties and incremental income
programs. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
conducts a variety of businesses that also include development
projects available for sale or contribution to third parties.
AMB Capital Partners, Headlands Realty Corporation and IMD
Holding Corporation are direct subsidiaries of the Operating
Partnership.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company owned or had investments
in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated
co-investment ventures, properties and development projects
expected to total approximately 159.0 million square feet
(14.8 million square meters) in 48 markets within 14
countries.
Of the approximately 159.0 million square feet as of
March 31, 2009:
|
|
|
|
|
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 approximately
133.1 million square feet (principally, warehouse
distribution buildings) that were 92.2% leased; the Company had
investments in 43 development projects, which are expected to
total approximately 11.8 million square feet upon
completion; and the Company owned 20 development projects,
totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet, which are
available for sale or contribution;
|
|
|
|
through non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company
had investments in 46 industrial operating properties, totaling
approximately 7.4 million square feet; and
|
|
|
|
the Company held approximately 0.1 million square feet
through a ground lease, which is the location of the
Companys global headquarters.

Interim
Financial Statements
|
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally
included in the annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a
normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the
Companys consolidated financial position and results of
operations for the interim periods. The interim results for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 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, 2008.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications. Certain items in the
consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to current classifications.
Investments in Real Estate. Investments in
real estate and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless
circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which
case, an adjustment to the carrying value of the property is
made to reduce it to its estimated fair value. The Company also
regularly reviews the impact of above or
6
AMB
PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs
for acquisitions, and records an intangible asset or liability
accordingly.
Real Estate Impairment Losses. 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.
The intended use of an asset, either held for sale or held for
the long term, can significantly impact how impairment is
measured. If an asset is intended to be held for the long term,
the impairment analysis is based on a two-step test. The first
test measures estimated expected future cash flows over the
holding period, including a residual value (undiscounted and
without interest charges), against the carrying value of the
property. If the asset fails the test, then the asset carrying
value is measured against the estimated fair value, with the
excess of the assets carrying value over the estimated
fair value recognized as an impairment charge to earnings. If an
asset is intended to be sold, impairment is tested based on a
one-step test, comparing the carrying value to the estimated
fair value less costs to sell. The estimation of expected future
net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions
regarding current and future economic and market conditions and
the availability of capital. The Company determines the
estimated fair values based on assumptions regarding rental
rates, costs to complete,
lease-up and
holding periods, as well as sales prices or contribution values.
The Company also utilizes the knowledge of its regional teams
and the recent valuations of its two open-ended funds, which
contain a large, geographically diversified pool of assets, all
of which are subject to third-party appraisals on an annual
basis. As a result of leasing activity and the economic
environment, the Company re-evaluated the carrying value of its
investments and recorded real estate impairment losses of
$181.9 million during the three months ended March 31,
2009 on certain of its investments. The Company recorded no real
estate impairment losses during the three months ended
March 31, 2008.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities. As
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, the Company records all derivatives on
the balance sheet at fair value. All of the Companys
derivatives are either designated or qualify as a hedge of the
exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other
types of forecasted transactions, and are considered cash flow
hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of
the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument
with the recognition of the earnings effect of the hedged
forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The Company
reports comprehensive (loss) income in its consolidated
statement of stockholders equity and noncontrolling
interests. Comprehensive (loss) income was $(160.3) million
and $95.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively.
International Operations. The U.S. dollar
is the functional currency for the Companys subsidiaries
formed in the United States, Mexico and certain subsidiaries in
Europe. Other than Mexico and certain subsidiaries in Europe,
the functional currency for the Companys subsidiaries
operating outside the United States is generally the local
currency of the country in which the entity or property is
located, mitigating the effect of currency exchange gains and
losses. The 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 currencies. In these instances, non-monetary assets
and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate,
monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange
rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement
accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the
period. The Company also records gains or losses in the income
statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in
a currency other than the 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. These gains (losses) are
included in the consolidated statements of operations.

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 SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, goodwill and certain indefinite lived
intangible assets, are no longer amortized, but are subject to
at least annual impairment testing. The Company tests annually
(or more often, if necessary) for impairment under
SFAS No. 142. The Company determined that there was no
impairment to goodwill and intangible assets during the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In September
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure
requirements for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received
for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in
the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes
a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three
levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated
balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the
valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and
liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative
contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.
Level 2. Observable inputs other than
Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities
include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less
frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative
contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with
inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This
category generally includes certain corporate debt securities
and derivative contracts.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are
supported by little or no market activity and that are
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial
instruments whose value is determined using pricing models,
discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as
well as instruments for which the determination of fair value
requires significant management judgment or estimation. This
category generally includes long-term derivative contracts and
real estate.

The fair value at March 31, 2009 reflects a cumulative loss
on impairment of real estate assets of $372.4 million on a
consolidated basis, of which $181.9 was recognized in the
consolidated statements of operations during the three months
ended March 31, 2009, measured on a nonrecurring basis. |
|
(2) |
|
The fair value at March 31, 2009 reflects an
other-than-temporary loss on impairment of an investment of
$3.7 million recognized in the consolidated statements of
operations during the three months ended March 31, 2009. |
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 157 with respect to its financial assets and
liabilities, but not with respect to its nonfinancial assets and
liabilities (such as real estate, which is not subject to annual
fair value measurements) as those provisions of
SFAS No. 157 were deferred to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, in
conjunction with a SFAS No. 144 review for impairment
(as discussed in Note 3), selected assets were adjusted to
fair value and impairment charges were recorded. Additionally,
effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to its
nonfinancial assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 had
no material impact on the Companys financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, which
changes the accounting for business combinations including the
measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a
business combination, the recognition of contingent
consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss
contingencies, the accounting for acquisition-related
restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of
acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of
changes in the acquirers income tax valuation allowance.
With respect to transactions costs, of the three alternatives
available to transition to the adoption of
SFAS No. 141(R), the Company has elected to expense
acquisition costs related to business combinations, which were
previously capitalized during the interim period prior to
adoption. The Company will continue to capitalize asset
acquisition costs. Adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not
have a material effect on the Companys financial
statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements An Amendment of
ARB No. 51, which clarifies that a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the
consolidated financial statements. As a result of the adoption
of SFAS No. 160, the Company has retroactively renamed
the minority interests as noncontrolling interests and has
reclassified these balances to the equity section of the
consolidated balance sheets. In addition, on the consolidated
statements of operations, the presentation of net (loss) income
retroactively includes the portion of income attributable to
noncontrolling interests.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities An Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 133, which requires entities to
provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and
(c) how derivative
9
AMB

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys
financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
Adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material
effect on the Companys financial statements.
The Company conducted a comprehensive review of all real estate
asset classes in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets, which indicates that asset values should be analyzed
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. The
process entailed the analysis of each asset class for instances
where the book value exceeded the estimated fair value. As a
result of changing market conditions, a portion of the
Companys real estate assets were written down to estimated
fair value and a non-cash impairment charge was recognized.
In order to comply with disclosure requirements as outlined in
SFAS No. 157, the designation of the level of inputs
used in the fair value models must be determined. Inputs used in
establishing estimated fair value for real estate assets
generally fall within level three, which are characterized as
requiring significant judgment as little or no current market
activity may be available for validation. The main indicator
used to establish the classification of the inputs was current
market conditions that, in many instances, resulted in the use
of significant unobservable inputs in establishing estimated
fair value measurements.
The Company used the market participant pricing approach to
estimate fair value of land, assets under development and assets
held for sale or contribution, which estimates what a potential
buyer would pay today. The key inputs used in the model included
the Companys intent to sell, hold or contribute, along
with rental rate assumptions, estimated costs to complete and
expected lease up and holding periods. When available, current
market information, like comparative sales price, was used to
determine capitalization and rental growth rates. When market
information was not readily available, the inputs were based on
the Companys understanding of market conditions and the
experience of the management team. Actual results could differ
significantly from the Companys estimates.
The principal trigger which led to the impairment charges was
continued economic deterioration in some markets resulting in a
decrease in leasing and rental rates and rising vacancies. In
addition, the pricing of current transactions in some of our
markets, as well as in-process sales agreements on some of our
assets targeted for disposition were indicative of an increase
in capitalization rates. Additional impairments may be necessary
in the future in the event that market conditions continue to
deteriorate and impact the factors used to estimate fair value.
The real estate impairment losses recognized on these assets
represent the difference between the carrying value and the
estimated fair value, which, on a consolidated basis, totaled
approximately $59.7 million for land, $115.2 million
for assets under development and assets available for sale or
contribution and $7.0 million for operating properties for
the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company did not
recognize any real estate impairment losses for the three months
ended March 31, 2008.
The impairment charges disclosed above do not impact the
Companys liquidity, cost and availability of credit or
affect the Companys continued compliance with its various
financial covenants under its credit facilities and unsecured
bonds.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had 43 projects in the
development pipeline, on an owned and managed basis, which are
expected to total approximately 11.8 million square feet
and have an aggregate estimated investment of
$912.5 million upon completion, net of $71.1 million
of real estate impairment losses. Two of these projects totaling
approximately 0.4 million square feet with an aggregate
estimated investment of $37.5 million were held in an
unconsolidated co-investment venture. On a consolidated basis,
the Company had an additional 18 development projects held for
sale or contribution totaling approximately 5.6 million
square feet, with an aggregate estimated investment of
$585.7 million, net of $49.7 million of cumulative
real estate impairment losses, and an
10

aggregate net book value of $571.7 million. As of
March 31, 2009, on a consolidated basis, the Company and
its development joint venture partners had funded an aggregate
of $789.9 million, or 84%, of the total estimated
investment before the impact of real estate investment losses
and will need to fund an estimated additional
$156.2 million, or 16%, in order to complete the
Companys development pipeline. The development pipeline,
at March 31, 2009, included projects expected to be
completed through the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition to the
Companys committed development pipeline, it held a total
of 2,408 acres of land for future development or sale, on a
consolidated basis, approximately 85% of which was located in
North America. The Company currently estimates that these
2,408 acres of land could support approximately
43.8 million square feet of future development.

Development Sales and Contributions. During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company
recognized development profits of approximately
$4.7 million as a result of the sale of two development
projects, aggregating approximately 0.5 million square
feet, and one
five-acre
land parcel. During the three months ended March 31, 2008,
the Company recognized development profits of approximately
$1.0 million as a result of the sale of two development
projects, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company
recognized development profits of approximately
$28.6 million, as a result of the contribution of one
completed development project, aggregating approximately
1.0 million square feet, to AMB Japan Fund I, L.P.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company
recognized development profits of approximately
$16.8 million, as a result of the contribution of three
completed development properties, aggregating approximately
1.1 million square feet, to AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS
and AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P.
Gains from Sale or Contribution of Real Estate Interests,
Net. During the three months ended March 31,
2009, the Company did not contribute any operating properties to
unconsolidated co-investment ventures. During the three months
ended March 31, 2008, the Company contributed an operating
property for approximately $66.2 million, aggregating
approximately 0.8 million square feet, into AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. The Company
recognized a gain of $20.0 million on the contribution,
representing the portion of its interest in the contributed
property acquired by the third-party investors for cash. These
gains are presented in gains from sale or contribution of real
estate interests, net, in the consolidated statements of
operations.
Properties Held for Sale or Contribution,
Net. As of March 31, 2009, the Company held
for sale 12 properties with an aggregate net book value of
$177.4 million. These properties either are not in the
Companys core markets, do not meet its current investment
objectives, or are included as part of its development-for-sale
or value-added conversion programs. The sales of the properties
are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other
customary conditions. Properties held for sale are stated at the
lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell. As of
December 31, 2008, the Company held for sale two properties
with an aggregate net book value of $8.2 million.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company held for contribution to
co-investment ventures 21 properties with an aggregate net book
value of $704.0 million, which, when contributed, will
reduce the Companys average ownership interest in these
projects from approximately 98% to an expected range of
15-20%. As
of March 31, 2009, properties with an aggregate net book
value of $82.1 million were reclassified from properties
held for contribution to investments in real estate as a result
of the change in managements expectations regarding the
launch of an appropriate co-investment venture. These properties
may be reclassified as properties held for contribution at some
future time. In accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, as of March 31, 2009, the Company recognized
additional depreciation expense and related accumulated
depreciation of $3.2 million, as well as impairment charges
of $55.8 million on real estate assets held for sale or
contribution for which it was determined that the carrying value
was greater than the estimated fair value.

Discontinued Operations. The Company reports
its property sales as discontinued operations separately as
prescribed under the provisions of SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2009,
the Company sold seven industrial operating properties
aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet for a
sale price of $58.4 million, with a resulting net gain of
$18.9 million. During the three months ended March 31,
2008, the Company recognized a deferred gain of approximately
$1.4 million on the sale of one industrial building,
aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an
aggregate price of $3.5 million, which was disposed of on
December 31, 2007. In addition, during the three months
ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized approximately
$0.3 million in gains resulting primarily from the
additional value received from the disposition of properties in
2007. These gains are presented in gains from sale of real
estate interests, net of taxes, as discontinued operations in
the consolidated statements of operations.

Wholly-owned
and Consolidated Joint Venture Secured Debt
Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest
payments. Some of the loans are cross-collateralized by multiple
properties. The secured debt is collateralized by deeds of trust
or mortgages on certain properties and is generally
non-recourse. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008, the total gross investment book value of those properties
securing the debt was $2.0 billion, including
$1.4 billion held in consolidated joint ventures for each
period. As of March 31, 2009, $937.0 million of the
secured debt obligations bore interest at fixed rates with a
weighted average interest rate of 5.8% while the remaining
$469.6 million bore interest at variable rates (with a
weighted average interest rate of 2.2%). As of March 31,
2009, $654.9 million of the secured debt was held by the
Companys co-investment ventures.
On September 4, 2008, the Operating Partnership entered
into a $230.0 million secured term loan credit agreement
that matures on September 4, 2010 and had a fixed interest
rate of 4.0% at March 31, 2009. The Company is a guarantor
of the Operating Partnerships obligations under the term
loan facility. The term loan facility carries a one-year
extension option, which the Operating Partnership may exercise
at its sole option so long as the Operating Partnerships
long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things,
and can be increased up to $300.0 million upon certain
conditions. If the Operating Partnerships long-term debt
ratings fall below current levels, the Companys cost of
debt will increase.
Unsecured
Senior Debt
As of March 31, 2009, the Operating Partnership had
outstanding an aggregate of $1.1 billion in unsecured
senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 6.3% and had an average term of 4.3 years. In May
2008, the Company sold $325.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the Operating Partnerships senior unsecured
notes under its Series C medium-term note program. The
Company guarantees the Operating
13

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Partnerships obligations with respect to its unsecured
senior debt securities. The unsecured senior debt securities are
subject to various covenants. The covenants contain affirmative
covenants, including compliance with financial reporting
requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and
negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of
liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management
believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in
compliance with their financial covenants at March 31, 2009.
Other
Debt
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $392.6 million
outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 3.9% and had an average term of 1.8 years. Other
debt also includes a $70.0 million credit facility obtained
on August 24, 2007 by AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund II, L.P., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership,
which had a $50.0 million balance outstanding as of
March 31, 2009. Of the remaining $342.6 million
outstanding in other debt, $325.0 million is related to the
loan facility described below.
In March 2008, the Operating Partnership obtained a
$325.0 million unsecured term loan facility, which had a
balance of $325.0 million outstanding as of March 31,
2009, with an interest rate of 3.5%. In February 2008, the
Operating Partnership also obtained a $100.0 million
unsecured money market loan with an interest rate of 3.6% and
subsequently paid off the entire balance in June 2008. In June
2008, the Operating Partnership obtained a new
$100.0 million unsecured loan with a weighted average
interest rate of 3.4% and subsequently paid off the entire
balance in September 2008. The Company guarantees the Operating
Partnerships obligations with respect to its unsecured
debt. The unsecured debt is subject to various covenants. The
covenants contain affirmative covenants, including compliance
with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of
specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including
limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on
mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company
and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their
financial covenants under this loan facility at March 31,
2009.
Unsecured
Credit Facilities
The Operating Partnership has a $550.0 million (includes
Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollar
denominated borrowings) unsecured revolving credit facility that
matures on June 1, 2010. The Company is a guarantor of the
Operating Partnerships obligations under the credit
facility. The line carries a one-year extension option, which
the Operating Partnership may exercise at its sole option so
long as the Operating Partnerships long-term debt rating
is investment grade, among other things, and the facility can be
increased up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions. The
rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, which
was 42.5 basis points as of March 31, 2009, based on
the Operating Partnerships long-term debt rating, with an
annual facility fee of 15.0 basis points. If the Operating
Partnerships long-term debt ratings fall below current
levels, the Companys cost of debt will increase. If the
Operating Partnerships long-term debt ratings fall below
investment grade, the Operating Partnership will be unable to
request money market loans and borrowings in Euros, Yen or
British pounds sterling. The four-year credit facility includes
a multi-currency component, under which up to
$550.0 million can be drawn in Euros, Yen, British pounds
sterling or U.S. dollars. The Operating Partnership uses
the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding
development activity and general working capital requirements.
As of March 31, 2009, there was no outstanding balance on
this credit facility and the remaining amount available was
$533.5 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of
$16.5 million, using the exchange rate in effect on
March 31, 2009. 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, 2009.
AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the Operating
Partnership, has a Yen-denominated unsecured revolving credit
facility with an initial borrowing limit of 55.0 billion
Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on March 31,
2009, equaled approximately $555.7 million
U.S. dollars and bore a weighted average interest rate of
14
AMB

STATEMENTS (Continued)
1.03%. The Company and the Operating Partnership guarantee the
obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility,
as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the
Operating Partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership
interest and which is selected from time to time to be a
borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. The
borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund
the acquisition and development of properties and for other real
estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally,
borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure
all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility
with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding
such real estate assets. The credit facility matures in June
2010 and has a one-year extension option, which the Operating
Partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the
Operating Partnerships long-term debt rating is investment
grade, among other things. The extension option is also subject
to the satisfaction of certain other 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 was
42.5 basis points as of March 31, 2009, based on the
credit rating of the Operating Partnerships long-term
debt. If the Operating Partnerships long-term debt ratings
fall below current levels, the Companys cost of debt will
increase. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable
quarterly, which is based on the credit rating of the Operating
Partnerships long-term debt, and was 15.0 basis
points of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of
March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the outstanding
balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in
effect on March 31, 2009, was $265.9 million, and the
remaining amount available was $289.8 million. The credit
agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial
reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial
ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the
incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or
consolidations. 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, 2009.
On July 16, 2007, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries and the
Operating Partnership, each acting as a borrower, and the
Company and the Operating Partnership, as guarantors, entered
into a fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for
a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that
replaced the existing $250.0 million unsecured revolving
credit facility. The fifth amended and restated credit facility
amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among
other things, increase the facility amount to
$500.0 million with an option to further increase the
facility to $750.0 million, to extend the maturity date to
July 2011 and to allow for borrowing in Indian rupees. The
Company and the Operating Partnership guarantee the obligations
for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the
Operating Partnership that are selected by the Operating
Partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant
to their credit facility. Generally, borrowers under the credit
facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the
borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility
includes a multi-currency component under which up to
$500.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong
dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds
sterling, and Euros with the ability to add Indian rupees. The
line, which matures in July 2011, carries a one-year extension
option, which the Operating Partnership may exercise at its sole
option so long as the Operating Partnerships long-term
debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and can be
increased up to $750.0 million upon certain conditions and
the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the
outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally
LIBOR plus a margin, which was 60.0 basis points as of
March 31, 2009, based on the credit rating of the Operating
Partnerships senior unsecured long-term debt, with an
annual facility fee based on the credit rating of the Operating
Partnerships senior unsecured long-term debt. If the
Operating Partnerships long-term debt ratings fall below
current levels, the Companys cost of debt will increase.
If the Operating Partnerships long-term debt ratings fall
below investment grade, the Operating Partnership will be unable
to request borrowings in any currency other than
U.S. dollars. 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, 2009, the outstanding balance on this credit
facility, using the exchange rates in effect at March 31,
2009, was approximately $114.8 million with a weighted
average interest rate of 1.32%, and the remaining amount
available was $385.2 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.

AMB

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Management believes that the Company and the Operating
Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants
under this credit agreement at March 31, 2009.
As a result of the current market conditions, the cost and
availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely
affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. As
of March 31, 2009, the Companys total consolidated
debt maturities for 2009 were $238.3 million.
If the Company is unable to refinance or extend principal
payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds from other
capital transactions, then its cash flow may be insufficient to
pay cash dividends to its 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 the
Companys financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow and ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders, and
the market price of its stock.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $263.0 million
in cash and cash equivalents, held in accounts managed by third
party financial institutions, consisting of invested cash and
cash in the Companys operating accounts. In addition, the
Company had $1.2 billion available for future borrowings
under its three multicurrency lines of credit at March 31,
2009. In the event that the Company does not have sufficient
cash available to it through its operations or under its lines
of credit to continue operating its business as usual, the
Company may need to find alternative ways to increase its
liquidity. Such alternatives may include, without limitation,
divesting the Company of properties; issuing and selling the
Companys debt and equity in public or private
transactions; entering into leases with the Companys
customers at lower rental rates or less than optimal terms; or
entering into lease renewals with its existing customers without
an increase in rental rates at turnover.
If the long-term debt ratings of the Operating Partnership fall
below current levels, the borrowing cost of debt under the
Companys unsecured credit facilities and certain term
loans may increase. In addition, if the long-term debt ratings
of the Operating Partnership fall below investment grade, the
Operating Partnership may be unable to request borrowings in
currencies other than U.S. dollars or Japanese Yen, as
applicable; however, the lack of other currency borrowings does
not affect the Operating Partnerships ability to fully
draw down under the credit facilities or term loans. While the
Company currently does not expect the Operating
Partnerships long-term debt ratings to fall below
investment grade, in the event that its ratings do fall below
those levels, the Operating Partnership will be unable to
exercise its unilateral options to extend the term of its credit
facilities or its $230.0 million secured term loan credit
agreement (and its borrowing costs may increase), and the loss
of its ability to borrow in currencies other than
U.S. dollars or Japanese Yen could affect its ability to
optimally hedge its borrowings against foreign currency exchange
rate changes.

Noncontrolling
Interests
|
Noncontrolling 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
21.9 million square feet, which are consolidated for
financial reporting purposes. The Company determines
consolidation based on standards set forth in FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities An Interpretation of ARB
No. 51 (FIN 46), or EITF Issue
No. 04-5
(EITF 04-5),
Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General
Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar
Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, and
SOP 78-9,
Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. Based
on the guidance set forth in
EITF 04-5,
the Company consolidates certain joint venture investments
because it exercises significant control over major operating
decisions, such as approval of budgets, selection of property
managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in
financing. The Company is the general partner (or equivalent of
a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) in
a number of its consolidated joint venture investments. In all
such cases, the limited partners in such investments (or
equivalent of limited partners in such investments which are not
structured as partnerships) do not have rights described in
EITF 04-5,
which would preclude consolidation. The Company consolidates
certain other joint ventures where it is not the general partner
(or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured
as partnerships) because it has control over those entities
through majority ownership, retention of the majority of
economics, and a combination of substantive kick-out rights
and/or

substantive participating rights. For joint ventures under
EITF 04-5
where the Company does not exercise significant control over
major operating and management decisions, but where it exercises
significant influence, the Company uses the equity method of
accounting and does not consolidate the joint venture for
financial reporting purposes. In such unconsolidated joint
ventures, either the Company is not the general partner (or
general partner equivalent) and does not hold sufficient capital
or any rights that would require consolidation or,
alternatively, the Company is the general partner (or the
general partner equivalent) and the other partners (or
equivalent) hold substantive participating rights that override
the presumption of control. These joint venture investments do

The Company has consolidated joint ventures that have finite
lives under the terms of the partnership agreements. As of
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the aggregate
book value of the joint venture noncontrolling interests in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets was approximately
$280.0 million and $293.4 million, respectively. The
Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these
interests was approximately $430.3 million at
March 31, 2009 and $451.2 million at December 31,
2008. However, there can be no assurance that these amounts will
be the aggregate settlement value of the interests. 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 noncontrolling joint venture partners would
be entitled in the event of liquidation of the assets and
liabilities and dissolution of the respective joint ventures.

In December 2007, the Companys board of directors approved
a two-year common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of
up to $200.0 million of its common stock. During the three
months ended March 31, 2009, the Company did not repurchase
any shares of its common stock. The Company has the
authorization to repurchase up to an additional

partnership units to the Company.
As of March 31, 2009, the Companys stock incentive
plans have approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock
available for issuance as either stock options or restricted
stock grants. The fair value of each option grant is generally
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The Company uses historical data to
estimate option exercise and forfeitures within the valuation
model. Expected volatilities are based on

businesses. The geographic markets where the Company owns
industrial properties are managed separately because it believes
each market has its own economic characteristics and requires
its own operating, pricing and leasing strategies. Each market
is considered to be an individual operating segment. The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The
Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating
income of the combined properties in each segment, which are
listed below. In addition, the 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 co-investment
venture fund in which the Company has an ownership interest and
for which the Company acts as manager, or that are sold to third
parties. The Company evaluates performance of the development
business by reported operating segment based upon gains
generated from the 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 co-investment venture or sold
to a third party, the property and its associated rental income
and property operating costs are included in the real estate
operations segment because the primary activity associated with
the property during that period is leasing. Upon contribution or
sale, the resulting gain or loss is included as gains from sale
or contribution of real estate interests or development profits,
as appropriate.

Private Capital. The Company, through its
private capital group, AMB Capital Partners, LLC (AMB
Capital Partners), provides real estate investment,
portfolio management and reporting services to
co-investment
ventures and clients. The private capital income earned consists
of acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and
priority distributions, and promote interests and incentive
distributions from the Companys co-investment ventures and
AMB Capital Partners clients. With respect to the
Companys U.S. and Mexico funds and co-investment
ventures, the Company typically earns a 90.0 basis points
acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third-party
acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 7.5% of
net operating income on stabilized properties, 70.0 basis
points of total projected costs as asset management fees on
renovation or development properties, and incentive
distributions of 15% of the return over a 9% internal rate of
return and 20% of the return over a 12% internal rate of return
to investors on a periodic basis or at the end of a funds
life. In Japan, the Company earns a 90.0 basis points
acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third-party
acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 1.5% of
65% of the committed equity during the investment period and
then 1.5% of unreturned equity, and incentive distributions of
20% of the return over a 10% internal rate of return and 25% of
the return over a 13% internal rate of return to investors at
the end of a funds life. In Europe, the Company earns a
90.0 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost
of third-party acquisitions, asset management fees of
75.0 basis points on the gross asset value of the fund, and
incentive distributions of 20% of the return over a 9% internal
rate of return and 25% of the return over a 12% internal rate of
return to investors on a periodic basis. The accounting policies
of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies under Note 2, Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Annual
Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company evaluates
performance based upon private capital income.

The markets included in U.S. markets are a subset of the

Property net operating income (NOI) is defined as
rental revenue, including reimbursements, less property
operating expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization,
general and administrative expenses, real estate impairment
losses and interest expense. For a reconciliation of NOI to net
income, see the table below. |
The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate and useful
supplemental performance measure because NOI reflects the
operating performance of the 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, real estate impairment losses, interest expense,
depreciation and amortization costs 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 has entered
into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily
on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms
of 1 to 54 years. Buildings and improvements subject to
ground leases are depreciated ratably over the lesser of the
terms of the related leases or 40 years.
Standby Letters of Credit. As of
March 31, 2009, the Company had provided approximately
$22.5 million in letters of credit, of which
$16.5 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 and Contribution
Obligations. Excluding parent guarantees
associated with debt or contribution obligations as discussed in
Part I, Item 1: Notes 6 and 8 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, as of March 31,
2009, the Company had outstanding guarantees and contribution
obligations in the aggregate amount of $440.3 million as
described below.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding bank
guarantees in the amount of $26.3 million used to secure
contingent obligations, primarily obligations under development
and purchase agreements, including $0.7 million guaranteed
under a purchase agreement entered into by an unconsolidated
joint venture. As of March 31, 2009, the Company also
guaranteed $51.0 million and $102.4 million on
outstanding loans on six of its consolidated joint ventures and
four of its unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
Also, the Company has entered into contribution agreements with
its unconsolidated co-investment ventures. These contribution
agreements require the Company to make additional capital
contributions to the applicable
co-investment
venture upon certain defaults by the co-investment venture of
certain of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional
capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable
co-investment ventures debt obligation and may be greater
than the Companys share of the co-investment
ventures debt obligation or the value of its share of any
property securing such debt. The Companys contribution
obligations under these agreements will be reduced by the
amounts recovered by the lender and the fair market value of the
property, if any, used to secure

STATEMENTS (Continued)
the debt and obtained by the lender upon default. The
Companys potential obligations under these contribution
agreements total $260.6 million as of March 31, 2009.
On May 30, 2008, the Operating Partnership entered into a
142.0 million Euros
364-day
multi-currency revolving facility agreement (approximately
$198.4 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange
rate at December 31, 2008) and related guarantee as
loan guarantor with the Companys affiliate AMB
Fund Management S.à.r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe
Fund I, FCP-FIS, certain of the Companys European
affiliates, ING Real Estate Finance N.V. and certain of its
European affiliates as lenders and ING Real Estate Finance N.V.
as facility agent. The facility agreement provided that certain
of the affiliates of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS may borrow
unsecured loans in an aggregate amount of up to
142.0 million Euros (approximately $198.4 million in
U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at December 31,
2008) all of which were repayable 364 days after the
date of the facility agreement (unless otherwise agreed). All
amounts owed under the facility agreement were guaranteed by the
Operating Partnership. AMB Fund Management S.á.r.l. on
behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS indemnified the
Operating Partnership for all of its obligations under the
guarantee. On December 29, 2008, the Operating Partnership
terminated the facility agreement and related guarantee. Prior
to the termination of the facility agreement, four of the
Companys European affiliates that were subsidiaries of AMB
Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS holding real property interests in
Germany were borrowers under such facility agreement. The
outstanding borrowed amount of the Companys European
affiliate borrowers under such facility agreement was repaid in
full on December 29, 2008. In connection with the payment
in full under, and the termination of, this facility agreement,
the Companys European affiliate borrowers
and/or their
affiliates borrowed funds under an existing credit facility held
by AMB Europe Fund I,
FCP-FIS, and
entered new
5-year term
loans with the lender in the aggregate amount of
50.2 million Euros (approximately $70.1 million in
U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of
December 31, 2008) under such facility. The borrowed
funds were used to repay the outstanding amounts under the
terminated 142.0 million Euros credit facility. The
Operating Partnership agreed to guarantee the 50.2 million
Euros amount borrowed under such existing credit facility only
until the security interests were granted, at which time the
guarantees would be extinguished. As of March 31, 2009, the
European affiliate borrowers had granted security interests to
the lender, as the security agent, under and in accordance with
the terms of such facility, and the guarantees of the Operating
Partnership had been fully extinguished.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of
March 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding performance and
surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $17.8 million. These
bonds were issued in connection with certain of its development
projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations
and the construction of certain real property improvements and
infrastructure. The performance and surety bonds are renewable
and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion
of the improvements and infrastructure.
Promote Interests and Other Contractual
Obligations. Upon the achievement of certain
return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, the
Company may be obligated to make payments to certain of its
joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of
their contractual agreements with the Operating Partnership.
From time to time in the normal course of the 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.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company carries environmental insurance and believes that
the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are
adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the
relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current
industry practice.
General Uninsured Losses. The Company carries
property and rental loss, liability, flood and terrorism
insurance. The Company believes that the policy terms,
conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate
under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the
cost of such coverage and current industry practice. In
addition, a significant number of the Companys properties
are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity. As
a result, the Company has obtained limited earthquake insurance
on those properties. There are, however, certain types of
extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war, that may
be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Although
the Company has obtained coverage for certain acts of terrorism,
with policy specifications and insured limits that it believes
are commercially reasonable, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to collect under such policies. Should an
uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose its investment in,
and anticipated profits and cash flows from, a property.
Captive Insurance Company. The Company has a
wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National
Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance coverage for
all or a portion of losses below the attachment point of the
Companys third-party insurance 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
establishes annual premiums based on projections derived from
the past loss experience at the Companys properties. Like
premiums paid to third-party insurance companies, premiums paid
to Arcata may be reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific
lease terms. Through this structure, the Company believes that
it has more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower
cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

Derivatives
and Hedging Activities
|
Risk
Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its
business operations and economic conditions. The Company
principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business
and operational risks through management of its core business
activities. The Company manages economic risks, including
interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing
the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the
use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the
Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage
exposures that arise from business activities that result in the
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts,
the value of which are determined by interest rates. The
Companys derivative financial instruments are used to
manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the
Companys known or expected cash receipts and its known or
expected cash payments principally related to the Companys
borrowings. The Companys derivative financial instruments
in effect at March 31, 2009 were three interest rate swaps
hedging cash flows of variable rate borrowings based on
U.S. LIBOR.
Certain of the Companys foreign operations expose the
Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange
rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the
Companys cash receipts and payments in terms of the
Companys functional currency. The Company enters into
derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the
amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional
currency, the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2009, the
Company had four currency forward contracts hedging intercompany
loans.
Cash Flow
Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Companys objectives in using interest rate derivatives
are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its
exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this
objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and
caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow
32
AMB
PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a
counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate
payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the
underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as
cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts
from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate
on the contract in exchange for an up front premium.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of
derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as a
separate component of stockholders equity and is
subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the
hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three
months ended March 31, 2009, such derivatives were used to
hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing
variable-rate borrowings.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss)
income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest
expense as interest payments are made on the Companys
variable-rate borrowings. For the twelve months from
March 31, 2009, the Company estimates that an additional
$6.1 million will be reclassified as an increase to
interest expense.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had the following
outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as
cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are
used to manage the Companys exposure to identified risks,
such as foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, but do not
meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of SFAS 133.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had four foreign currency
forward contracts hedging intercompany loans which were not
designated as hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives
not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in
earnings which resulted in losses of $3.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009.

Credit-risk-related
Contingent Features
In order to limit the financial risks associated with derivative
applications, the Company requires rigorous counterparty
selection criteria and agreements to minimize counterparty risk
for over-the-counter derivatives. For the Companys
derivatives, the counterparty is typically the same entity as,
or an affiliate of, the lender.
The Companys agreements with its derivative counterparties
contain default and termination provisions related to the
Companys debt. If certain of the Companys
indebtedness (excluding its corporate lines of credit and
intra-company indebtedness) in an amount in excess of three
percent of the Companys equity, as determined at the end
of the last fiscal year, becomes, or becomes capable of being
declared, due and payable earlier than it otherwise would have
been, then the Company could also be declared in default on its
derivative obligations. Also, if an event of default occurs
under the Companys corporate lines of credit and, as a
result, amounts outstanding under such lines are declared or
become due and payable in an amount in excess of three percent
of the Companys equity, as determined at the end of the
last fiscal year, it shall constitute an additional termination
event under the derivative contracts.
As of March 31, 2009, the fair value of derivatives in a
liability position related to these agreements was
$8.9 million.

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 the forward-looking
statements might not occur. You can identify forward-looking
statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
believes, expects, may,
will, should, seeks,
approximately, intends,
plans, forecasting, pro
forma, estimates or anticipates,
or the negative of these words and phrases, or similar words or
phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by
discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking
statements should not be read as guarantees of future
performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate
indicators of whether, or the time at which, such performance or
results will be achieved. There is no assurance that the events
or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements will
occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are necessarily
dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect
or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual
results and future events to differ materially from those set
forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in general economic conditions, global trade or in
the real estate sector (including risks relating to decreasing
real estate valuations and impairment charges);
|
|
|
|
risks associated with using debt to fund our business
activities, including re-financing and interest rate risks;
|
|
|
|
our failure to obtain, renew, or extend necessary financing
or access the debt or equity markets;
|
|
|
|
our failure to maintain our current credit agency ratings or
comply with our debt covenants;
|
|
|
|
risks related to our obligations in the event of certain
defaults under co-investment venture and other debt;
|
|
|
|
risks associated with equity and debt securities financings
and issuances (including the risk of dilution);
|
|
|
|
a continued or prolonged downturn in the California, U.S., or
the global economy, world trade or real estate conditions and
other financial market fluctuations;
|
|
|
|
defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers or renewal
at lower than expected rent;
|
|
|
|
risks and uncertainties relating to the disposition of
properties to third parties and our ability to effect such
transactions on advantageous terms and to timely reinvest
proceeds from any such dispositions;
|
|
|
|
our failure to contribute properties to our co-investment
ventures due to such factors as our inability to acquire,
develop, or lease properties that meet the investment criteria
of such ventures, or our co-investment ventures inability
to access debt and equity capital to pay for property
contributions or their allocation of available capital to cover
other capital requirements such as future redemptions;
|
|
|
|
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in
effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms and the failure of
acquisitions to perform as we expect;
|
|
|
|
risks and uncertainties affecting property development,
redevelopment and value-added conversion (including construction
delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits
and financing, our inability to lease properties at all or at
favorable rents and terms, public opposition to these
activities);
|
|
|
|
risks of doing business internationally and global expansion,
including unfamiliarity with new markets and currency risks;
|
|
|
|
risks of changing personnel and roles;
|
|
|
|
losses in excess of our insurance coverage;
|
|
|
|
unknown liabilities acquired in connection with acquired
properties or otherwise;
|
36
|
|
|
|
|
our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and
operations;
|
|
|
|
changes in local, state and federal regulatory requirements,
including changes in real estate and zoning laws;
|
|
|
|
increases in real property tax rates;
|
|
|
|
risks associated with our tax structuring;
|
|
|
|
increases in interest rates and operating costs or greater
than expected capital expenditures;
|
|
|
|
environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural
disasters; and
|
|
|
|
our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.
|
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally,
various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk
factors discussed under the heading Risk Factors and
elsewhere in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008, and any amendments
thereto. We caution you not to place undue reliance on

THE
COMPANY
We own, acquire, develop and operate industrial properties in
key distribution markets tied to global trade in the Americas,
Europe and Asia. We use the terms industrial
properties or industrial buildings to describe
the various types of industrial properties in our portfolio and
use these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics
facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities,
centers or warehouses; High Throughput
Distribution®
(HTD®)
facilities; or any combination of these terms. We use the term
owned and managed to describe assets in which we
have at least a 10% ownership interest, for which we are the
property or asset manager and which we currently intend to hold
for the long term. We use the term joint venture to
describe all joint ventures, which include co-investment
ventures, as well as ventures with third parties. We typically
earn asset management distributions or fees, or earn incentive
distributions or promote interests from the joint ventures. In
certain cases, we might provide development, leasing, property
management
and/or
accounting services, for which we may receive compensation. We
use the term co-investment venture to describe joint
ventures with institutional investors that are managed by us,
from which we receive acquisition fees for acquisitions,
portfolio and asset management distributions or fees, as well as
incentive distributions or promote interests.
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, 2009, we owned an approximate 97.7% general
partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding
preferred units. As the sole general partner of the
37
operating partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete
responsibility for and discretion in its
day-to-day
management and control.
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate
investment trust and expect that we have qualified, and will
continue to qualify, as a real estate investment trust for
federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended
December 31, 1997. As a self-administered and self-managed
real estate investment trust, our own employees perform our
corporate administrative and management functions, rather than
our relying on an outside manager for these services. We manage
our portfolio of properties generally through direct property
management performed by our own employees. Additionally, within
our flexible operating model, we may from time to time establish
relationships with third-party real estate management firms,
brokers and developers that provide some property-level
administrative and management services under our direction.
Our global headquarters are located at Pier 1, Bay 1,
San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is
(415) 394-9000.
Our other principal office locations are in Amsterdam, Boston,
Chicago, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Shanghai, Singapore and
Tokyo. As of March 31, 2009, we employed 597 individuals:
166 in our San Francisco headquarters, 45 in our Boston
office, 54 in our Tokyo office, 56 in our Amsterdam office, 61
in our Mexico City office and the remainder in our other offices.
Near Term
Priorities
The global financial markets have been undergoing pervasive and
fundamental disruptions, which began late in the third quarter
of 2008. To maintain our competitive advantage during these
difficult times, we are focused on three important near-term
priorities for the company:
|
|
|
|
|
strengthening our balance sheet and liquidity position;
|
|
|
|
reducing and controlling expenses; and
|
|
|
|
positioning our company for growth in the long term.
|
We believe our near-term priorities, coupled with our long-term
business strategies, have prepared us to weather a difficult
operating environment and will position us to emerge from this
downturn in an even stronger competitive position. We can
accomplish our priorities only with the right leadership and
talent to drive our business forward. To preserve our long-term
growth potential, we have made the decision to retain our key
investment and development personnel in our most productive
platforms around the globe. We have deployed these team members
in leasing, operations and customer service, as we complete the
build-out of our current development pipeline. The most crucial
of our long-term strategies is preserving the strength of our
personnel upon the stabilization of the global financial markets.
Investment
Strategy
Our strategy focuses on providing distribution space to
customers whose businesses are tied to global trade and who
value the efficient movement of goods through the global supply
chain. Our properties are primarily located in the worlds
busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained infill
locations with dense populations and proximity to airports,
seaports and major highway systems. When measured by annualized
base rent, on an owned and managed basis, a substantial majority
of our portfolio of industrial properties is located in our
target markets and much of this is in infill submarkets within
our target markets. Infill locations are characterized by supply
constraints on the availability of land for competing projects
as well as physical, political or economic barriers to new
development.
In many of our target markets, we focus on
HTD®
facilities, which are buildings designed to facilitate the rapid
distribution of our customers products rather than the
long term storage of goods. Our investment focus on
HTD®
assets is based on what we believe to be a global trend toward
lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains.
HTD®
facilities generally have a variety of physical characteristics
that allow for the rapid transport of goods from
point-to-point.
These physical characteristics could include numerous dock
doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck
courts and more space for trailer parking. We believe that these
building characteristics help our customers to reduce their
costs and become more efficient in their delivery systems. Our
customers include air
38
express, logistics and freight forwarding companies that have
time-sensitive needs, and that value facilities located in
convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure, such as
major airports and seaports.
As of March 31, 2009, we owned, or had investments in, on a
consolidated basis or through unconsolidated
co-investment
ventures, properties and development projects expected to total
approximately 159.0 million square feet (14.8 million
square meters) in 48 markets within 14 countries.
Of the approximately 159.0 million square feet as of
March 31, 2009:
|
|
|
|
|
on an owned and managed basis, which includes investments held
on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint
ventures, we owned or partially owned approximately
133.1 million square feet (principally, warehouse
distribution buildings) that were 92.2% leased; we had
investments in 43 development projects, which are expected to
total approximately 11.8 million square feet upon
completion; and we owned 20 development projects, totaling
approximately 6.6 million square feet, which are available
for sale or contribution;
|
|
|
|
through non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures, we had
investments in 46 industrial operating properties, totaling
approximately 7.4 million square feet; and
|
|
|
|
we held approximately 0.1 million square feet through a
ground lease, which is the location of our global headquarters.
|
Operating
Strategy
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business
and is best operated by local teams in each of our markets. As a
vertically integrated company, we actively manage our portfolio
of properties. In select markets, we may, from time to time,
establish relationships with third-party real estate management
firms, brokers and developers that provide some property-level
administrative and management services under our direction. We
offer a broad array of service offerings, including access to
multiple locations worldwide and
build-to-suit
developments.
Long Term
Growth Strategies
Growth
through Operations
We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent
increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space,
striving to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and
to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of scale
inherent in owning, operating and growing a large, global
portfolio. We actively manage our portfolio, whether directly or
with an alliance partner, by establishing leasing strategies and
negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of
property improvements. We believe that our long-standing focus
on customer relationships and ability to provide global
solutions in 14 countries for a well-diversified customer base
in the shipping, air cargo and logistics industries will enable
us to capitalize on opportunities as they arise.
We believe that the strategic locations within our portfolio,
the experience of our cycle-tested operations team and our
ability to respond quickly to the needs of our customers allow
us to achieve solid operating results. We believe that our
regular maintenance programs, capital expenditure programs,
energy management and sustainability programs create cost
efficiencies that provide benefit to our customers as well as to
AMB.
Growth
through Development
We think that the development, redevelopment and expansion of
well-located, high-quality industrial properties provide us with
attractive investment opportunities at higher rates of return,
although with greater risk, than may be obtained from the
purchase of existing properties. Through the deployment of our
in-house development and redevelopment expertise, we seek to
create value both through new construction and the acquisition
and management of redevelopment opportunities. Additionally, we
believe that our longstanding focus on infill locations creates
a unique opportunity to enhance value through the select
conversion of industrial properties to higher and better uses,
within our value-added conversion business. Value-added
conversion projects generally involve a significant enhancement
or a change in use of the property from industrial distribution
warehouse to a higher and better use, such as office, retail or
residential. New developments, redevelopments and value-added
39
conversions require significant management attention, and
development and redevelopment require significant capital
investment, to maximize their returns. Completed development and
redevelopment properties are generally contributed to our
co-investment ventures and held in our owned and managed
portfolio or sold to third parties. Value-added conversion
properties are generally sold to third parties at some point in
the re-entitlement/conversion process, thus recognizing the
enhanced value of the underlying land that supports the
propertys repurposed use. We think our global market
presence and expertise will enable us to generate and capitalize
on a diverse range of development opportunities in the long
term. At this time, however, while development, redevelopment
and value-added conversions will continue to be a fundamental
part of our long-term growth strategy, we will limit this
activity to situations where we are fulfilling prior commitments
or commencing
build-to-suits
for specific customers until the financial and real estate
markets stabilize.
Although we have reduced our development staff in correlation to
reduced levels of development activity, our core team possesses
multidisciplinary backgrounds, which positions us to complete
the build out of our development pipeline and for future
development or redevelopment opportunities when stability
returns to the financial and real estate markets. We believe our
development team has extensive experience in real estate
development, both with us and with local, national or
international development firms. We pursue development projects
directly and in co-investment ventures and development joint
ventures, providing us with the flexibility to pursue
development projects independently or in partnerships, depending
on market conditions, submarkets or building sites and
availability of capital.
Growth
through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment
Our acquisition experience and our network of property
management, leasing and acquisition resources should continue to
provide opportunities for growth. In addition to our internal
resources, we have long-term relationships with leasing and
investment sales brokers, as well as third-party local property
management firms, which may give us access to additional
acquisition opportunities because such managers frequently
market properties on behalf of sellers. In addition, we seek to
redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that
better fit our current investment focus. See Summary of
Key Transactions. At this time, while acquisitions will
continue to be a fundamental part of our long-term growth
strategy, we will limit this activity to situations where we are
fulfilling prior commitments until the financial and real estate
markets stabilize.
We are generally engaged in various stages of negotiations for a
number of acquisitions and other transactions, some of which may
be significant, that may include, but are not limited to,
individual properties, large multi-property portfolios or
property owning or real estate-related entities. We cannot
assure you that we will consummate any of these transactions.
Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material
individually or in the aggregate.
Growth
through Global Expansion
Expansion into target markets outside the United States
represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in
industrial property markets with high population densities,
proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools,
and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our
international expansion strategy mirrors our focus in the United
States on supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic
or physical constraints to new development. Our international
investments extend our offering of
HTD®
facilities to customers who value
speed-to-market
over storage. We think that our established customer
relationships, our contacts in the air cargo, shipping and
logistics industries, our underwriting of markets and
investments, our in-house expertise and our strategic alliances
with knowledgeable developers and managers will assist us in
competing internationally. For a discussion of the amount of our
revenues attributable to the United States and international
markets, please see Part I, Item 1: Note 11 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Growth
through Co-Investments
We, through AMB Capital Partners, LLC, our private capital
group, were one of the pioneers of the real estate investment
trust (REIT) industrys co-investment model and have more
than 25 years of experience in this business. We co-invest
in properties with private capital investors through
partnerships, limited liability companies or other joint
ventures. We have a direct and long-standing relationship with
institutional investors. Approximately 60% of
40
our owned and managed operating portfolio is owned through our
eight co-investment ventures. We tailor industrial portfolios to
investors specific needs in separate or
commingled accounts deploying capital in both
close-ended and open-ended structures and providing complete
portfolio management and financial reporting services.
Generally, we will own a
10-50%
interest in our co-investment ventures. Our co-investment
ventures typically allow us to earn acquisition and development
fees, asset management fees or priority distributions, as well
as promote interests or incentive distributions based on the
performance of the co-investment ventures.
Managements
Overview
Current
Global Market and Economic Conditions
Recent global market and economic conditions have been
unprecedented, challenging and unpredictable with significantly
tighter credit and declining economic conditions through the
first quarter of 2009. Continued concerns about the availability
and cost of credit, declining real estate market and
geopolitical issues have contributed to increased market
volatility and decreased expectations for the global economy. In
the fourth quarter of 2008, added concerns fueled by the failure
of several large financial institutions and government
interventions in the U.S. financial system led to increased
market uncertainty and instability in the global capital and
credit markets. These conditions, combined with declining
business activity levels and consumer confidence and increased
unemployment, have contributed to unprecedented levels of
volatility.
In light of this economic downturn, we are increasing our focus
on our operations with an emphasis on tenant retention and
occupancy. Until the financial and real estate markets
stabilize, we are limiting our acquisition and development
activities to fulfilling prior commitments. We are realigning
and streamlining internal resources, as well as our overhead
structure, to meet the needs of the business and have taken
further steps to strengthen our capital and liquidity position.
Our near-term priorities are further strengthening the balance
sheet and liquidity position, reducing and controlling expenses
and retaining and motivating our key people thereby positioning
the company for long-term growth. Our goal is to do what we
consider best for long-term value creation and enhancement of
our net asset value. As we look forward, our objective is to
emerge from this downturn in a competitive position to take
advantage of opportunities as they arise, with our long-term
earnings capacity enhanced.
Primary
Sources of Revenue and Earnings
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 may also generate
earnings from our private capital business, which consists of
asset management fees and priority distributions, acquisition
and development fees, and promote interests and incentive
distributions from our co-investment ventures. Additionally, we
may generate earnings from the disposition of projects in our
development-for-sale
and value-added conversion programs, from land sales and from
the contributions of development properties to our co-investment
ventures. We believe that our long-term growth will be driven by
our ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
maintain and increase occupancy rates
and/or
increase rental rates at our properties;
|
|
|
|
raise third-party equity in our co-investment ventures and grow
our earnings from our private capital business from the
acquisition of new properties or through the possible
contribution of properties; and
|
|
|
|
develop properties profitably and sell to third parties or
contribute to our co-investment ventures such development
properties.
|
Focus on
our Balance Sheet and Cost Structure
Maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity are our
top priorities. As such, we successfully completed the issuance
and sale of 47.4 million shares of our common stock at a
price of $12.15 per share for proceeds of approximately
$552.6 million, net of discounts, commissions and estimated
transaction expenses of approximately $23.8 million. The
proceeds from the offering were used to repay borrowings under
the operating partnerships unsecured credit facilities,
which enhanced our liquidity position. As a result, borrowings
under our
41
three lines of credit were reduced by 60% to $381 million,
and we lowered our line utilization to 25% as of March 31,
2009.
On April 28, 2009, we commenced a cash tender offer to
purchase any and all of the operating partnerships
outstanding 8.00% medium-term notes due 2010, which had
$75.0 million aggregate principal outstanding, and any and
all of the operating partnerships outstanding 5.45%
medium-term notes due 2010, which had $175.0 million
aggregate principal outstanding. The tender offer expired on
May 5, 2009, with $28.5 million and
$146.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 8.00%
medium-term notes due 2010 and 5.45% medium-term notes due 2010,
respectively, validly tendered, not withdrawn and accepted by
the operating partnership for purchase. The purchase price for
the notes that were validly tendered was at par, plus accrued
and unpaid interest. We used proceeds from asset sales completed
during the first quarter of 2009 to fund the tender offer. We
believe the early retirement of this debt will strengthen our
balance sheet capacity and enhance our liquidity position.
To position ourselves to meet the challenges of the current
business environment, we implemented a broad-based cost
reduction plan in the fourth quarter of 2008. As part of this
plan, we reduced our total global headcount by approximately
22%. We also reduced our third-party expenditures. In executing
these cost-saving efforts, we believe that we have preserved our
ability to serve our global customers and manage our operating
portfolio. While we have removed excess capacity in our
deployment teams, we believe that we have retained our key
talent and left our global platforms intact. Cost reductions
were also made to the back office, support functions and third
party costs, particularly those that related to our global
expansion efforts in India and Poland.
In addition, we have decreased our 2009 regular quarterly
dividend payments to $0.28 per share. We believe this action
will improve our cash position by allowing us to retain
$98 million over the course of 2009. We may make special
distributions going forward, as necessary, related to taxable
income associated with any asset dispositions and gain activity.
We are currently exploring various options to monetize some of
our development and operating assets, including asset sales and
the formation of new joint ventures. During the first quarter,
we disposed of approximately $304 million of properties.
Additionally, on an owned and managed basis, as of
March 31, 2009, we have properties available for sale or
contribution with an estimated total investment upon completion
of $1.1 billion, before the impact of real estate
impairment losses. We may use some or all of the proceeds from
these transactions to decrease our debt obligations, but there
can be no assurance that we will consummate any such
transactions or use the proceeds to pay our debt obligations.
Our
Liquidity Position
As a result of the current market conditions, the cost and
availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely
affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads.
Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the
strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and
institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to
provide funding to businesses and consumers. We believe our
current debt maturity schedule is well-laddered. As of
March 31, 2009, our total consolidated debt maturities for
2009 were $226.5 million, excluding principal amortization.
Our total unconsolidated debt maturities for 2009 were
$2.8 million as of March 31, 2009, excluding principal
amortization. As of March 31, 2009, we had
$1.2 billion available for future borrowings under our
three multi-currency lines of credit and had cash and cash
equivalents of $263.0 million. While we believe that we
have sufficient working capital and capacity under our credit
facilities to continue our business operations as usual in the
near term, continued turbulence in the global markets and
economies and prolonged declines in business and consumer
spending may adversely affect our liquidity and financial
condition, as well as the liquidity and financial condition of
our customers. If these market conditions persist in the long
term, they may limit our ability, and the ability of our
customers, to timely replace maturing liabilities and access the
capital markets to meet liquidity needs.
If the long-term debt ratings of the operating partnership fall
below current levels, the borrowing cost of debt under our
unsecured credit facilities and certain term loans may increase.
In addition, if the long-term debt ratings of the operating
partnership fall below investment grade, we may be unable to
request borrowings in currencies other than U.S. dollars or
Japanese Yen, as applicable. However, the lack of other currency
borrowings does not affect our ability to fully draw down under
the credit facilities or term loans. While we currently do not
expect the long-term
42
debt ratings of the operating partnership to fall below
investment grade, in the event that the ratings do fall below
those levels, we may be unable to exercise our options to extend
the term of our credit facilities or our $230.0 million
secured term loan credit agreement, and the loss of our ability
to borrow in foreign currencies could affect our ability to
optimally hedge our borrowings against foreign currency exchange
rate changes. In addition, based on publicly available
information regarding our lenders, we currently do not expect to
lose borrowing capacity under our existing lines of credit as a
result of a dissolution, bankruptcy, consolidation, merger or
other business combination among our lenders. Our access to
funds under our credit facilities is dependent on the ability of
the lenders that are parties to such facilities to meet their
funding commitments to us. If we do not have sufficient cash
flows and income from our operations to meet our financial
commitments and lenders are not able to meet their funding
commitments to us, our business, results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Certain of our third-party indebtedness is held by our
consolidated or unconsolidated joint ventures. In the event that
a joint venture partner is unable to meet its obligations under
our joint venture agreements or the third-party debt agreements,
we may elect to pay our joint venture partners portion of
debt to avoid foreclosure on the mortgaged property or permit
the lender to foreclose on the mortgaged property to meet the
joint ventures debt obligations. In either case, we would
lose income and asset value on the property.
In addition, a continued increase in the cost of credit and
inability to access the capital and credit markets may adversely
impact the occupancy of our properties, the disposition of our
properties, private capital raising and contribution of
properties to our co-investment ventures. If we are unable to
contribute completed development properties to our co-investment
ventures or sell our completed development projects to third
parties, we will not be able to recognize gains from the
contribution or sale of such properties and, as a result, our
net income available to our common stockholders and our funds
from operations will decrease. Additionally, business layoffs,
downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that
affect our customers may adversely impact our business and
financial condition. Furthermore, general uncertainty in the
real estate markets has resulted in conditions where the pricing
of certain real estate assets may be difficult due to
uncertainty with respect to capitalization rates and valuations,
among other things, which may add to the difficulty of buyers or
our co-investment ventures to obtain financing on favorable
terms to acquire such properties or cause potential buyers to
not complete acquisitions of such properties. The market
uncertainty with respect to capitalization rates and real estate
valuations also adversely impacts our net asset value.
In the event that we do not have sufficient cash available to us
through our operations to continue operating our business as
usual, we may need to find alternative ways to increase our
liquidity. Such alternatives may include, without limitation,
divesting ourselves of properties, whether or not they otherwise
meet our strategic objectives to keep in the long term, at less
than optimal terms; issuing and selling our debt and equity in
public or private transactions under less than optimal
conditions; entering into leases with our customers at lower
rental rates or less than optimal terms; entering into lease
renewals with our existing customers without an increase in
rental rates at turnover; or paying a portion of our dividends
in stock rather than cash. There can be no assurance, however,
that such alternative ways to increase our liquidity will be
available to us. Additionally, taking such measures to increase
our liquidity may adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Our primary financial covenants with respect to our credit
facilities generally relate to fixed charge or debt service
coverage, liabilities to asset value, debt to asset value and
unencumbered cash flow. As of March 31, 2009, we were in
compliance with all of these covenants. There can be no
assurance, however, that if the financial markets and economic
conditions continue to deteriorate, that we will be able to
continue to comply with our financial covenants.
Impairment
Charges
We recognized charges in the first quarter of 2009 related to
the valuation of our share of the development program of
approximately $181.4 million (represents the pro rata
portion of the total impairment charges based on our percentage
of equity interests in each of the consolidated or
unconsolidated joint ventures holding the associated properties)
on an owned and managed basis ($181.9 million on a
consolidated basis). These charges were entirely non-cash. Our
share of impairment charge on the assets under development and
those available for sale or
43
contribution on an owned and managed basis totaled approximately
$118.6 million ($115.2 million on a consolidated
basis). The majority of the impairment charges related to assets
in the Americas, with the remainder primarily in Europe. Our
share of the impairment charge on the land inventory on an owned
and managed basis totaled approximately $55.8 million
($59.7 million on a consolidated basis). These losses were
primarily related to land inventory in the Americas. Our share
of the impairment charges on operating properties on both an
owned and managed and consolidated basis totaled approximately
$7.0 million, and was exclusively related to assets in the
Americas.
Cumulative impairment charges for the fourth quarter of 2008 and
first quarter of 2009 related to the valuation of our
development program were approximately $373.4 million of
our share on an owned and managed basis ($372.4 million on
a consolidated basis). Our share of the cumulative impairment
charges on the assets under development and those available for
sale or contribution on an owned and managed basis totaled
approximately $203.6 million ($199.4 million on a
consolidated basis), reflecting a 16% decline from the
$1.3 billion cost basis of the assets written down. The
cumulative impairment charges on the land inventory of our share
on an owned and managed basis totaled approximately
$146.3 million ($150.2 million on a consolidated
basis), reflecting a 26% decline from the $554.5 million
cost basis of the land written down. Our share of the cumulative
impairment charges on operating properties on an owned and
managed basis totaled approximately $23.5 million
($22.8 million on a consolidated basis), reflecting a 21%
decline from the $110.5 million cost basis of the
properties written down.
The principal trigger which led to the impairment charges was
continued economic deterioration in some markets resulting in a
decrease in leasing and rental rates and rising vacancies. In
addition, the pricing of current transactions in some of our
markets as well as in-process sales agreements on some of our
assets targeted for disposition were indicative of an increase
in capitalization rates. Additional impairments may be necessary
in the future in the event that market conditions continue to
deteriorate and impact the factors used to estimate fair value.
We also utilized the knowledge of our regional teams and the
recent valuations of our two open-ended funds, which contain a
large, geographically-diversified pool of assets, all of which
were subject to third-party appraisals on an annual basis. See
Part 1, Item 1: Note 3 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed
discussion of the real estate impairment losses recorded in our
results of operation during the first quarter of 2009.
Customer
Bankruptcies
From a customer receivables standpoint, as of March 31,
2009, we believe that account receivables delinquency levels
were consistent with our historical norms and we believe that we
maintain adequate bad debt reserves. Although the number of
bankruptcies of our customers increased during the first quarter
of 2009, we believe the impact of such bankruptcies on our
business was not significant for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. Our account receivables delinquencies may
not continue at the same levels, our bad debt reserves may not
be sufficient to cover such delinquencies as they occur and the
level of customer bankruptcies may increase to levels that could
be significant to our operations. However, we will continue to
monitor our accounts receivable delinquencies and the adequacy
of our reserves in order to limit our exposure.
Real
Estate Operations
Real estate fundamentals in the United States continued to
weaken in the first quarter of 2009 as the national economy
slowed further. We anticipate that the U.S. and global
economies will decline further in 2009. Customer decision-making
is prolonged, as commitments for new space are being eliminated
or put on hold with only time critical leasing decisions being
made. According to data provided by Torto Wheaton Research as of
April 26, 2009, availability in the United States was 12.2%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, up 80 basis
points from the prior quarter and 240 basis points from the
first quarter of 2008. Also, according to Torto Wheaton
Research, absorption was negative 92.8 million square feet
in the first quarter of 2009, and construction completions were
21.5 million square feet, down from 46.7 million
square feet in the prior quarter. First quarter absorption was
the lowest quarterly total since inception of the data in 1989.
While we expect the delivery pipeline to decline substantially,
we expect net absorption to be negative in 2009.
We believe the strongest industrial markets in the United States
continue to be the primary infill coastal markets tied to global
trade. While demand has weakened notably across the U.S., due
primarily to the weakening
44
economy, we believe our coastal markets will continue to
outperform other U.S. industrial markets. Outside the
United States, while activity is moderating, we believe that we
will continue to experience demand for our distribution
facilities due to the reconfiguration of supply chains and
customer requirements for upgraded distribution space to modern
facilities.
Our owned and managed portfolio occupancy at March 31, 2009
was 92.2%, down from 95.1% at December 31, 2008 and 94.8%
at March 31, 2008, while average occupancy at
March 31, 2009 was 93.1%, down from 94.9% at
December 31, 2008 and 94.9% at March 31, 2008. During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, rent on renewed and
re-leased space in our operating portfolio was flat at (0.3)% on
an owned and managed basis, excluding expense reimbursements,
rental abatements, percentage rents and straight-line rents.
Rental rates on lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio
increased 2.2% for the trailing four quarters ended
March 31, 2009. During the quarter, cash-basis same store
net operating income, with and without the effect of lease
termination fees, declined by 0.2% and 1.1%, respectively, on an
owned and managed basis. Excluding the impact of foreign
currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar,
cash-basis same store net operating income without the effect of
lease termination fees decreased 0.5% during the three months
ended March 31, 2009. See Supplemental Earnings
Measures below for a discussion of cash-basis same store
net operating income and a reconciliation of cash-basis same
store net operating income and net income.
Development
Business
Our development business consists of conventional development,
build-to-suit
development, redevelopment, value-added conversions and land
sales. We generate earnings from our development business
through the disposition or contribution of projects from these
activities.
Despite the cyclical downturn in the U.S. and global
economies, we believe that, over the long term, customer demand
for new industrial space in strategic markets tied to global
trade will continue to outpace supply, most notably in major
gateway markets in Asia and Europe. Given the current
uncertainty in the global economy, we curtailed development
activity, and as a result, development starts for the quarter
decreased 66% from 2008 with 100% of our 2009 development starts
outside the United States. For 2009, our development activity
will be limited to fulfilling prior commitments until the
financial and real estate markets stabilize. In addition to our
committed development pipeline, we hold a total of
2,485 acres of land for future development or sale on an
owned and managed basis, approximately 86% of which is located
in the Americas. We currently estimate that these
2,485 acres of land could support approximately
45.0 million square feet of future development. Our
long-term capital allocation goal is to have approximately 50%
of our owned and managed operating portfolio invested in
non-U.S. markets
based on annualized base rent.
We believe that our historical investment focus on industrial
real estate in some of the worlds most strategic infill
markets positions us to create value through the select
conversion of industrial properties to higher and better uses
(value-added conversions). Generally, we expect to sell to third
parties these value-added conversion projects at some point in
the re-entitlement/conversion process, thus recognizing the
enhanced value of the underlying land that supports the
propertys repurposed use. Value-added conversions involve
the repurposing of industrial properties to a higher and better
use, including office, residential, retail, research &
development or manufacturing. Activities required to prepare the
property for conversion to a higher and better use may include
such activities as rezoning, redesigning, reconstructing and
retenanting. The sales price of a value-added conversion project
is generally based on the underlying land value, reflecting its
ultimate higher and better use and as such, little to no
residual value is ascribed to the industrial building. Due to
dislocation in the housing industry, we do not believe that this
is the optimal time to market certain value-added conversion
projects, in particular, those intended to include a residential
component. We remain committed to the viability of this
development activity and believe that a well-timed approach to
executing value-added conversion transactions will enhance
stockholder value over the long term.
Private
Capital Business
Since our initial public offering in 1997, we have formed 11
co-investment ventures and raised approximately
$3.1 billion of private capital from third parties as
equity in such co-investment ventures. Eight of these
co-investment
ventures are still active in the United States, Mexico, Europe
and Japan: AMB Institutional Alliance
45
Fund III, L.P., AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, AMB Japan
Fund I, L.P., AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, AMB DFS Fund I,
LLC, AMB-SGP, L.P., AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II,
L.P., and
AMB-AMS, L.P.
We believe that our co-investment program with private-capital
investors will continue to serve as a source of revenues and
capital for new investments. Through these co-investment
ventures, we typically earn acquisition fees, asset management
fees and priority distributions, as well as promote interests
and incentive distributions based on the performance of the
co-investment ventures; however, we cannot assure you that we
will continue to do so. Through contribution of development
properties to our co-investment ventures, we expect to recognize
value creation from our development pipeline. In anticipation of
the formation of future co-investment ventures, we may also hold
acquired and newly developed properties for contribution to such
future co-investment ventures.
Equityholders in two of our co-investment ventures, AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and AMB Europe
Fund I, FCP-FIS, have a right to request that the ventures
redeem their interests under certain conditions. The redemption
right of investors in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III,
L.P. is currently exercisable, and as of March 31, 2009,
this co-investment venture had $131.5 million of
outstanding redemption requests based on the
co-investment
ventures net asset value at March 31, 2009. The
redemption right of investors in AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS
is exercisable beginning after July 1, 2011. Although such
redemption rights generally do not require the co-investment
ventures to allocate newly acquired capital to cover redemption
activity, there can be no assurance that such allocation will
not occur and will not occur in such magnitude that will affect
our contribution of properties to the ventures. While we have no
obligation to fund redemption requests, we currently plan to
meet redemption requests as cash becomes available through
property sales, financings and new capital contributions to fund
such requests. There can be no assurance, however, that any such
cash will become available, or that, if such cash does become
available, that we will use any or all of it to fund such
requests.
As of March 31, 2009, we owned approximately
79.6 million square feet of our properties (50.1% of the
total operating and development portfolio) through our
consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We may
make additional investments through these co-investment ventures
or new co-investment ventures in the future and presently plan
to do so. Given the current economic environment, however, the
pace of new private capital commitments has slowed significantly.
Market
price of our shares
Recent global financial market and economic conditions have
adversely impacted the market price per share of our common
stock. Our market equity was $2.16 billion as of
March 31, 2009, compared to $5.54 billion as of
March 31, 2008. We define market equity as the total number
of outstanding shares of our common stock and common limited
partnership units, including class B common limited
partnership units issued by AMB Property II, L.P.,
multiplied by the closing price per share of our common stock at
the relevant period end.

Critical
Accounting Policies
In the preparation of financial statements, we utilize certain
critical accounting policies. There have been no material
changes in our significant accounting policies included in the
notes to our audited financial statements included in our Annual
Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008.
CONSOLIDATED
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store
growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures. The
same store pool includes all properties that are owned as of the
end of both the current and prior year reporting periods and
excludes development properties stabilized after
December 31, 2007 (generally defined as properties that are
90% leased or properties that have been substantially complete
for at least 12 months). As of March 31, 2009, the
same store industrial pool consisted of properties aggregating
approximately 116.8 million square feet. Our future
financial condition and results of operations, including rental
revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional
properties and dispositions, and expenses may vary materially
from historical results. Acquisition and development property
divestiture activity for the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008 was as follows.

Same store rental revenues decreased $21.0 million from the
prior year for the three-month period due primarily to the
contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a
consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment
venture, on July 1, 2008. Same store rental revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 would have been
$148.4 million if the interests in AMB Partners II, L.P.
had not been contributed as of March 31, 2009. The decrease
of $0.8 million, excluding the effect of the contribution
of interests in AMB Partners II, L.P., was primarily due to
decreased occupancy during the first quarter of 2009. The
increase in revenues from prior year acquisitions is due to
receiving revenues in the first quarter of 2009 for properties
acquired throughout all of 2008. The increase in rental revenues
from development of $7.4 million is primarily due to
increased occupancy at several of our development projects.
Other industrial revenues include rental revenues from
development projects that have reached certain levels of
operation but are not yet part of the same store operating pool
of properties. The increase in these revenues of
$3.4 million reflects the number of projects that have
reached these levels of operation and higher rent levels during
the first quarter of 2009. The increase in private capital
revenues of $1.8 million was primarily due to an increase
in asset management fees as a result of the recalculation of the
AMB Japan Fund I, L.P.s asset management
priority distribution which resulted in a special distribution
to us, partially offset by a decrease in incentive fees and
acquisition fees.

Same store properties operating expenses decreased
$0.2 million from the prior year for the three-month period
due to the contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a
consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment
venture, on July 1, 2008. Same store operating expenses for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 would have been
$46.7 million if the interests in AMB Partners II, L.P. had
not been contributed as of March 31, 2009. The increase of
$5.9 million, excluding the effect of the contribution of
interests in AMB Partners II, L.P., was primarily due to an
increase in repairs and maintenance expense, utilities, and
common area maintenance expenses. The increase in development
operating costs of $4.0 million was primarily due to an
increase in the number of projects in our development pipeline
and increased operating expenses due to higher occupancy in
certain development projects. The increase in depreciation and
amortization expense of $1.1 million was primarily due to
recognizing $3.2 million of depreciation expense resulting
from the reclassification of $82.1 million of properties
from properties held for contribution to investments held and
used, partially offset by a decrease in investments in real
estate year over year due primarily to the contribution of
interests in AMB Partners II, L.P. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses of $3.9 million is primarily due to
a personnel and cost reduction plan implemented in the fourth
quarter of 2008. The increase in real estate impairment losses
was primarily a result of changes in the economic environment.
See Item 1: Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of the
real estate impairment losses recorded in our results of
operations during the first quarter of 2009.

Development profits represent gains from the sale or
contribution of development projects including land. See the
development sales and development contributions tables and
Development Sales and Contributions in
Capital Resources for a discussion of the
development asset sales and contributions and the associated
development profits during the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008. During the three months ended March 31,
2009, we did not contribute any operating properties to
unconsolidated co-investment ventures. During the three months
ended March 31, 2008, we contributed an operating property
for approximately $66.2 million, aggregating approximately
0.8 million square feet, into AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund III, L.P. We recognized a gain of $20.0 million
on the contribution, representing the portion of our interest in
the contributed property acquired by the third-party investors
for cash.
The decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint
ventures of $2.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2008 was primarily due to impairment losses
recognized on our unconsolidated assets under management,
partially offset by the contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P.
(previously, a consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated
co-investment venture, on July 1, 2008. Other (expense)
income decreased $11.5 million from the prior year for the
three-month period primarily due to foreign currency exchange
rate loss and the recognition of a $3.8 million loss on
impairment of an investment, partially offset by an increase in
third party management fees. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, we recognized a loss on currency
remeasurement of approximately $4.7 million, compared to a
loss of approximately $1.0 million in the same period of
2008. Interest expense increased $2.6 million primarily due
to decreased capitalized interest as a result of decreased
development starts and a decreased development pipeline at
March 31, 2009 as well as a decrease in interest rates.

The decrease in (loss) income attributable to discontinued
operations of $14.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2008 was primarily due to an increase in
properties held for sale in the first quarter of 2009 and a real
estate impairment loss on assets held for sale of
$15.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we
divested ourselves of seven industrial properties, aggregating
approximately 0.7 million square feet for a sale price of
$58.4 million, with a resulting net gain of
$18.9 million. During the three months ended March 31,
2008, we recognized a deferred gain of approximately
$1.4 million on the sale of one industrial building,
aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an
aggregate price of $3.5 million, which was disposed of on
December 31, 2007.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Balance Sheet Strategy. In general, we use
unsecured lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred stock and
common equity (issued by us
and/or the
operating partnership and its subsidiaries) to capitalize our
wholly-owned assets. Over time, we plan to retire non-recourse,
secured debt encumbering our wholly-owned assets and replace
that debt with unsecured notes where practicable. In managing
the co-investment ventures, in general, we use non-recourse,
secured debt to capitalize our co-investment ventures.
50
We currently expect that our principal sources of working
capital and funding for debt service, development, acquisitions,
expansion and renovation of properties will include:
|
|
|
|
|
cash on hand and cash flow from operations;
|
|
|
|
private capital from co-investment partners;
|
|
|
|
net proceeds from contributions of properties and completed
development projects to our co-investment ventures;
|
|
|
|
net proceeds from the sales of development projects, value-added
conversion projects and land to third parties;
|
|
|
|
net proceeds from divestitures of properties;
|
|
|
|
borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities;
|
|
|
|
other forms of secured or unsecured financing;
|
|
|
|
assumption of debt related to acquired properties;
|
|
|
|
proceeds from limited partnership unit offerings (including
issuances of limited partnership units by our
subsidiaries); and
|
|
|
|
proceeds from equity (common and preferred) or debt securities
offerings.
|
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will
include:
|
|
|
|
|
debt service;
|
|
|
|
development, expansion and renovation of properties;
|
|
|
|
acquisitions;
|
|
|
|
dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred
stock and limited partnership units; and
|
|
|
|
working capital.

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. While historically we have
satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash
distributions to our stockholders, we may choose to satisfy this
requirement by making distributions of cash or other property,
including, in limited circumstances, our own stock. As a result
of this distribution requirement, 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 may need to continue to raise capital in both the debt
and equity markets to fund our working capital needs,
acquisitions and developments.
If the long-term debt ratings of the operating partnership fall
below their current levels, the borrowing cost of debt under our
unsecured credit facilities and certain term loans will
increase. In addition, if the long-term debt ratings of the
operating partnership fall below investment grade, we may be
unable to request borrowings in currencies other than
U.S. dollars or Japanese Yen, as applicable; however, the
lack of other currency borrowings does not affect our ability to
fully draw down under the credit facilities or term loans. In
the event the long-term debt ratings of the operating
partnership fall below investment grade, we may be unable to
exercise our options to extend the term of our credit facilities
or our $230 million secured term loan. However, our lenders
will not be able to terminate our credit facilities or certain
term loans in the event that the operating partnerships
credit rating falls below investment grade status. None of our
credit facilities contain covenants regarding our stock price or
market capitalization, thus a decrease in our stock price is not
expected to impact our ability to borrow under our existing
lines of credit. Based on publicly available information
regarding our lenders, we currently do not expect to lose
borrowing capacity under our existing lines of credit as a
result of a dissolution, bankruptcy, consolidation, merger or
other business combination among our lenders. However, our
access to funds under our credit facilities is dependent on the
ability of the lenders that are parties to such facilities to
meet their funding commitments to us. We continue to closely
monitor global economic conditions and the lenders who are
parties to our credit facilities, as
51
well as our long-term debt and credit ratings and outlooks, our
customers financial positions, private capital raising and
capital market activity.
Should we face a situation in which we do not have sufficient
cash available to us through our operations to continue
operating our business as usual, we may need to find alternative
ways to increase our liquidity. Such alternatives may include,
without limitation, divesting ourselves of properties, whether
or not the sales price is optimal or if they otherwise meet our
strategic objectives to keep for the long term; issuing and
selling our debt and equity in public or private transactions
whether or not at favorable pricing or on favorable terms;
paying a portion of our dividends in stock rather than cash;
entering into leases with our customers at lower rental rates or
entering into lease renewals with our existing customers without
an increase in rental rates at turnover or, in either case, on
suboptimal terms.
Cash Flows. For the three months ended
March 31, 2009, cash provided by operating activities was
$61.8 million as compared to $62.4 million for the
same period in 2008. This change is primarily due to changes in
our accounts receivable and other assets and accounts payable
and other liabilities. Cash provided by investing activities was
$15.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009, as compared to cash used in investing activities of
$251.3 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease
is primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for property
acquisitions, additions to land, buildings, development costs,
building improvements and lease costs, as well as a decrease in
loans made to affiliates, partially offset by a decrease in net
proceeds from divestiture of real estate and securities. Cash
used in financing activities was $45.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to cash
provided by financing activities of $219.5 million for the
same period in 2008. This decrease is due primarily to a
decrease in borrowings on other debt and unsecured credit
facilities and an increase in payments on senior debt. This
activity was partially offset by an increase in the issuance of
common stock and preferred units, a decrease in the repurchase
of common stock, and a decrease in dividends and distributions
paid to common and preferred stockholders and noncontrolling
interests, respectively.
Subject to the above discussion, we believe our sources of
working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations, and
borrowings available under our unsecured credit facilities, are
adequate for us to meet our current liquidity requirements.
However, there can be no assurance that our sources of capital
will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to
meet our needs. The unavailability of capital could adversely
affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow
and ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, and the
market price of our stock.

Development Sales and Contributions. During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized
development profits of approximately $4.7 million as a
result of the sale of two development projects, aggregating
approximately 0.5 million square feet, and one
five-acre
land parcel. During the three months ended March 31, 2008,
we recognized development profits of approximately
$1.0 million as a result of the sale of two development
projects, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized
development profits of approximately $28.6 million, as a
result of the contribution of one completed development project,
aggregating approximately 1.0 million square feet, to AMB
Japan Fund I, L.P. During the three months ended
March 31, 2008, we recognized development profits of
approximately $16.8 million, as a result of the
contribution of three completed development properties,
aggregating approximately 1.1 million square feet, to AMB
Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS and AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund III, L.P.
Gains from Sale or Contribution of Real Estate Interests,
Net. During the three months ended March 31,
2009, we did not contribute any operating properties to
unconsolidated co-investment ventures. During the three months
ended March 31, 2008, we contributed an operating property
for approximately $66.2 million, aggregating approximately
0.8 million square feet, into AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund III, L.P. We recognized a gain of $20.0 million
on the contribution, representing the portion of our interest in
the contributed property acquired by the third-party investors
for cash. These gains are presented in gains from sale or
contribution of real estate interests, in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Properties Held for Sale or Contribution,
Net. As of March 31, 2009, we held for sale
12 properties with an aggregate net book value of
$177.4 million. These properties either are not in our core
markets, do not meet our current investment objectives, or are
included as part of our
development-for-sale
or value-added conversion programs. The sales of the properties
are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other
customary conditions. Properties held for sale are stated at the
lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell. As of
December 31, 2008, we held for sale two properties with an
aggregate net book value of $8.2 million.
As of March 31, 2009, we held for contribution to
co-investment ventures 21 properties with an aggregate net book
value of $704.0 million, which, when contributed, will
reduce our average ownership interest in these projects from
approximately 98% to an expected range of
15-20%. As
of March 31, 2009, properties with an aggregate net book
value of $82.1 million were reclassified from properties
held for contribution to investments in real estate as a result
of the change in managements expectations regarding the
launch of an appropriate co-investment venture. These properties
may be reclassified as properties held for contribution at some
future time. In accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, during the three months ended March 31, 2009,
we recognized additional depreciation expense and related
accumulated depreciation of $3.2 million, as well as
impairment charges of $55.8 million on real estate assets
held for sale or contribution
54
for which it was determined that the carrying value was greater
than the estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2008, we
held for contribution to co-investment ventures 20 properties
with an aggregate net book value of $600.8 million.
Gains from Sale of Real Estate Interests, Net of
Taxes. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, we sold seven industrial operating
properties aggregating approximately 0.7 million square for
a sale price of $58.4 million, with a resulting net gain of
$18.9 million. During the three months ended March 31,
2008, we recognized a deferred gain of approximately
$1.4 million on the sale of one industrial building,
aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an
aggregate price of $3.5 million, which was disposed of on
December 31, 2007. In addition, during the three months
ended March 31, 2008, we recognized approximately
$0.3 million in gains resulting primarily from the
additional value received from the disposition of properties in
2007. These gains are presented in gains from sale of real
estate, net of taxes, as discontinued operations in the
statements of operations.
Co-investment Ventures. Through the operating
partnership, we enter into co-investment ventures with
institutional investors. These co-investment ventures are
managed by our private capital group and provide us with an
additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions,
development projects and renovation projects, as well as private
capital income. We hold interests in both consolidated and
unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We determine
consolidation based on standards set forth in FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities An Interpretation of ARB
No. 51 (FIN 46), or EITF Issue
No. 04-5
(EITF 04-5),
Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General
Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar
Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, and
SOP 78-9,
Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. For
joint ventures that are variable interest entities as defined
under FIN 46 where we are not the primary beneficiary, we
do not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting
purposes. Based on the guidance set forth in
EITF 04-5,
we consolidate certain joint venture investments because we
exercise significant control over major operating decisions,
such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers,
asset management, investment activity and changes in financing.
We are the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner
in entities not structured as partnerships) in a number of our
consolidated joint venture investments. In all such cases, the
limited partners in such investments (or equivalent of limited
partners in such investments which are not structured as
partnerships) do not have rights described in
EITF 04-5,
which would preclude consolidation. We consolidate certain other
joint ventures where we are not the general partner (or
equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as
partnerships) because we have control over those entities
through majority ownership, retention of the majority of
economics, and a combination of substantive kick-out rights
and/or
substantive participating rights. For joint ventures under
EITF 04-5
where we do not exercise significant control over major
operating and management decisions, but where we exercise
significant influence, we use the equity method of accounting
and do not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting
purposes. In such unconsolidated joint ventures, either we are
not the general partner (or general partner equivalent) and do
not hold sufficient capital or any rights that would require
consolidation or, alternatively, we are the general partner (or
the general partner equivalent) and the other partners (or
equivalent) hold substantive participating rights that override
the presumption of control.
Third-party equity interests in the consolidated co-investment
ventures are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the
consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2009, we
owned approximately 79.6 million square feet of our
properties (50.1% of the total operating and development
portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated
co-investment ventures. We may make additional investments
through these co-investment ventures or new co-investment
ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.

co-investment ventures at March 31, 2009 (dollars in

As of March 31, 2009, we also had a 100% consolidated
interest in G. Accion, a Mexican real estate company, which has
been renamed AMB Property Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (AMB
Property Mexico). AMB Property Mexico owns and develops
real estate and provides real estate management and development
services in Mexico. On June 13, 2008, we acquired
approximately 19% of additional equity interest and on
July 18, 2008, we acquired the remaining equity interest
(approximately 42%) in AMB Property Mexico, increasing our
equity interest from approximately 39% to 100%. Through our
investment in AMB Property Mexico, we held equity interests in
various other unconsolidated ventures totaling approximately
$20.2 million and $24.6 million as of March 31,
2009 and
56
December 31, 2008, respectively. As of March 31, 2008,
the Company also had an approximate 39.0% unconsolidated equity
interest in G.Accion.
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, 2009: 1,595,337 shares of series D
cumulative redeemable preferred, none of which are outstanding;
2,300,000 shares of series L cumulative redeemable
preferred, of which 2,000,000 are outstanding;

preferred, all of which are outstanding; 3,000,000 shares
of series O cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which
are outstanding; and 2,000,000 shares of series P
cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding.
In December 2007, our board of directors approved a two-year
common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to
$200.0 million of our common stock. During the three months
ended March 31, 2009, we did not repurchase any shares of
our common stock. We have the authorization to repurchase up to
an additional $112.3 million of our common stock under this
program.
In March 2009, we completed the issuance of 47.4 million
shares of our common stock at a price of $12.15 per share for
proceeds of approximately $552.6 million, net of discounts,
commissions and estimated transaction expenses of approximately
$23.8 million. The proceeds from the offering were
contributed to the operating partnership in exchange for the
issuance of 47.4 million general partnership units to us.
Debt. In order to maintain financial
flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through
market cycles, we presently intend over the long term to operate
with an our share of total
debt-to-our
share of total market capitalization ratio or our share of total
debt-to-our
share of total assets of approximately 45% or less. In order to
operate at this targeted ratio over the long term, we are
currently exploring various options to monetize our development
assets through possible contribution to funds where capacity is
available, the formation of joint ventures and the sale to third
parties. We are also exploring the potential sale of operating
assets to further enhance liquidity. As of March 31, 2009,
our share of total
debt-to-our
share of total assets ratio was 43.6%. (See footnote 1 to the
Capitalization Ratios table below for our definitions of
our share of total market capitalization,
market equity, our share of total debt
and our share of total assets). We typically finance
our co-investment ventures with secured debt at a
loan-to-value
ratio of
50-65% per
our co-investment venture agreements. Additionally, we currently
intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an
investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless
of these policies, however, our organizational documents do not
limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly,
our management could alter or eliminate these policies without
stockholder approval or circumstances could arise that could
render us unable to comply with these policies. For example,
decreases in the market price of our common stock have caused an
increase in the ratio of our share of total
debt-to-our
share of total market capitalization.
As of March 31, 2009, the aggregate principal amount of our
secured debt was $1.4 billion, excluding unamortized net
discounts of $1.4 million. Of the $1.4 billion of
secured debt, $809.7 million is secured by properties in
our joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse
and bears interest at rates varying from 0.8% to 9.4% per annum
(with a weighted average rate of 4.6%) and final maturity dates
ranging from June 2009 to November 2022. As of March 31,
2009, $937.0 million of the secured debt obligations bear
interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of
5.8%, while the remaining $469.6 million bear interest at
variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 2.2%).
As of March 31, 2009, $654.9 million of the secured
debt was held by
co-investment
ventures.
On September 4, 2008, the operating partnership entered
into a $230.0 million secured term loan credit agreement,
which had a fixed interest rate of 4.0% as of March 31,
2009. We are the guarantor of the operating partnerships
obligations under the term loan facility. The term loan facility
carries a one-year extension option, which the operating
partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the
operating partnerships long-term debt rating is investment
grade, among other things, and can be increased up to
$300.0 million upon certain conditions. If the operating
partnerships long-term debt ratings fall below current
levels, our cost of debt will increase.
As of March 31, 2009, the operating partnership had
outstanding an aggregate of $1.1 billion in unsecured
senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 6.3% and had an average term of 4.3 years. In May
2008, we sold $325.0 million aggregate principal amount of
the operating partnerships senior unsecured notes
57
under its Series C medium-term note program. The unsecured
senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. The
covenants contain affirmative covenants, including compliance
with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of
specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including
limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on
mergers or consolidations.
As of March 31, 2009, we had $392.6 million
outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 3.9% and had an average term of 1.8 years. Other
debt also includes a $70.0 million credit facility obtained
on August 24, 2007 by AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund II, L.P., a subsidiary of the operating partnership,
which had a $50.0 million balance outstanding as of
December 31, 2008. Of the remaining $342.6 million
outstanding in other debt, $325.0 million is related to the
loan facility described below.
In March 2008, the operating partnership obtained a
$325.0 million unsecured term loan facility, which had a
balance of $325.0 million outstanding as of March 31,
2009, with an interest rate of 3.5%. In February 2008, the
operating partnership also obtained a $100.0 million
unsecured money market loan with a weighted average interest
rate of 3.6% and subsequently paid off the entire balance in
June 2008. In June 2008, the operating partnership obtained a
new $100.0 million unsecured loan with a weighted average
interest rate of 3.4% and subsequently paid off the entire
balance in September 2008. We guarantee the operating
partnerships obligations with respect to its unsecured
debt. The unsecured debt is subject to various covenants. The
covenants contain affirmative covenants, including compliance
with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of
specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including
limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on
mergers or consolidations. Management believes that we and the
operating partnership were in compliance with our financial
covenants under this loan facility at March 31, 2009.
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 cash
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 cash dividends to our stockholders, and the
market price of our stock.
We may from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our
outstanding debt through cash purchases
and/or
exchanges for equity securities in open market purchases,
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases
or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market
conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions
and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Credit Facilities. The operating partnership
has a $550.0 million (includes Euros, Yen, British pounds
sterling or U.S. dollar denominated borrowings) unsecured
revolving credit facility that matures on June 1, 2010. We
are a guarantor of the operating partnerships obligations
under the credit facility. The line carries a one-year extension
option, which the operating partnership may exercise at its sole
option so long as the operating partnerships long-term
debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and the
facility can be increased to up to $700.0 million upon
certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally
LIBOR plus a margin, which was 42.5 basis points as of
March 31, 2009, based on the operating partnerships
long-term debt rating, with an annual facility fee of
15.0 basis points. If the operating partnerships
long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, our cost of
debt will increase. If the operating partnerships
long-term debt ratings fall below investment grade, the
operating partnership will be unable to request money market
loans and borrowings in Euros, Yen or British pounds sterling.
The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency
component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in
Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollars. The
operating partnership uses the credit facility principally for
acquisitions, funding development activity and general working
capital requirements. As of March 31, 2009, there was no
outstanding balance on this credit facility and the remaining
amount available was $535.5 million, net of outstanding
letters of credit of $16.5 million, using the exchange rate
in effect on March 31, 2009. 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 mergers or consolidations. Management believes
that we and the operating partnership were in compliance with
our financial covenants under this credit agreement at
March 31, 2009.
58
AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the operating
partnership, has a Yen-denominated unsecured revolving credit
facility with an initial borrowing limit of 55.0 billion
Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect at March 31,
2009, equaled approximately $555.7 million
U.S. dollars and bore a weighted average interest rate of
1.03%. 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, which the operating
partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the
operating partnerships long-term debt rating is investment
grade, among other things. The extension option is also subject
to the satisfaction of certain other 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 was
42.5 basis points as of March 31, 2009, based on the
credit rating of the operating partnerships long-term
debt. If the operating partnerships long-term debt ratings
fall below current levels, our cost of debt will increase. 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 15.0 basis
points of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of
March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the outstanding
balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in
effect on March 31, 2009, was $265.9 million, and the
remaining amount available was $289.8 million. The credit
agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial
reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial
ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the
incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or
consolidations. Management believes that we, the operating
partnership and AMB Japan Finance Y.K. were in compliance with
our financial covenants under this credit agreement as of
March 31, 2009.
On July 16, 2007, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries
and the Operating Partnership, each acting as a borrower, with
us and the Operating Partnership as guarantors, entered into a
fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a
$500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that
replaced the existing $250.0 million unsecured revolving
credit facility. The fifth amended and restated credit facility
amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among
other things, increase the facility amount to
$500.0 million with an option to further increase the
facility to $750.0 million, to extend the maturity date to
July 2011 and to allow for future borrowing in Indian rupees.
We, along with the Operating Partnership, guarantee the
obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled
by the Operating Partnership that are selected by the Operating
Partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant
to our credit facility. Generally, borrowers under the credit
facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the
borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility
includes a multi-currency component under which up to
$500.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong
dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds
sterling, and Euros with the ability to add Indian rupees. The
line, which matures in July 2011, carries a one-year extension
option, which the Operating Partnership may exercise at its sole
option so long as the Operating Partnerships long-term
debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and can be
increased to up to $750.0 million upon certain conditions
and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the
outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally
LIBOR plus a margin, which was 60.0 basis points as of
March 31, 2009, based on the credit rating of the Operating
Partnerships senior unsecured long-term debt, with an
annual facility fee based on the credit rating of the Operating
Partnerships senior unsecured long-term debt. If the
Operating Partnerships long-term debt ratings fall below
current levels, our cost of debt will increase. If the Operating
Partnerships long-term debt ratings fall below investment
grade, the Operating Partnership will be unable to request
borrowings in any currency other than U.S. dollars. 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, 2009, the
outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange
rates in effect at March 31, 2009, was approximately
$114.8 million with a weighted average interest rate of
1.32%, and the remaining amount available was
$385.2 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 we and the Operating Partnership were
in compliance with our financial covenants under this credit

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 co-investment ventures. The above table
reconciles our share of total debt to total consolidated debt, a
GAAP financial measure. |

which the series D preferred units may not be redeemed from
May 5, 2004 to February 22, 2012. |

Our definition of total market capitalization is
total debt plus preferred equity liquidation preferences plus
market equity. Our definition of our share of total market
capitalization is our share of total debt plus preferred
equity liquidation preferences plus market equity. Our
definition of market equity is the total number of
outstanding shares of our common stock and common limited
partnership units multiplied by the closing price per share of
our common stock as of March 31, 2009. Our definition of
preferred is preferred equity liquidation
preferences. Our share of total book capitalization
is defined as our share of total debt plus noncontrolling
interests to preferred unitholders and limited partnership
unitholders plus stockholders equity. Our share of
total debt is the pro rata portion of the total debt based
on our percentage of equity interest in each of the consolidated
and unconsolidated joint ventures holding the debt. Our
share of total assets is the pro rata portion of the gross
book value of real estate interests plus cash and other assets.
We believe that our share of total debt is a meaningful
supplemental measure, which enables both management and
investors to analyze our leverage and to compare our leverage to
that of other companies. In addition, it allows for a more
meaningful comparison of our debt to that of other companies
that do not consolidate their joint ventures. Our share of total
debt is not intended to reflect our actual liability should
there be a default under any or all of such loans or a
liquidation of the joint ventures. For a reconciliation of our
share of total debt to total consolidated debt, a GAAP financial
measure, please see the table of debt maturities and
capitalization above. |
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2009, we had $263.0 million in cash
and cash equivalents and $1.2 billion of additional
available borrowings under our credit facilities. As of
March 31, 2009, we had $19.3 million in restricted
cash.
62
Our available cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts
managed by third party financial institutions and consist of
invested cash and cash in our operating accounts. The invested
cash is invested in money market funds that invest solely in
direct obligations of the government of the United States or in
time deposits with certain financial institutions. To date, we
have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash
or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that
access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be
impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.
At any point in time, we also have a significant amount of cash
deposits in our operating accounts that are with third party
financial institutions, which was, as of March 31, 2009,
approximately $203.0 million on a consolidated basis. These
balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
insurance limits. While we monitor daily the cash balances in
our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as
appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the
underlying financial institutions fail or be subject to other
adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, we have
experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating
accounts.
The following table sets forth the dividends and distributions
paid or payable per share or unit for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008:

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from
operations, will not allow us to pay all of our debt as it comes
due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with net
proceeds from future debt or equity financings, as well as
property divestitures. However, we may not be able to obtain
future financings on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to
obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all would
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations,
cash flow and ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders,
and the market price of our stock. We are currently exploring
various options to monetize our development assets including
contribution to funds where investment capacity is available,
the formation of joint ventures and the sale of assets to third
parties. We are also exploring the potential sale of operating
assets to further enhance liquidity. There can be no assurance,
however, that we will choose to or be able to monetize any of
our assets.
Cash flows generated by our business were sufficient to cover
our dividends and distributions for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008. Cash flows from our real estate
operations and private capital businesses, which are included in
Net cash provided by operating activities in our
Cash Flows from Operating Activities and cash flows from our
real estate development and operations businesses which are
included in Net proceeds from divestiture of real
estate in our Cash Flows from Investing Activities in our
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were sufficient to pay
dividends on our common stock, distributions on our preferred
stock and common and preferred limited partnership units of AMB
Property, L.P. and AMB Property II, L.P. and distributions to
noncontrolling interests for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008. Cash Flows from Operating
Activities alone were not sufficient to pay such dividends and
distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as
shown in the table below. We use proceeds from our businesses
included in Cash Flows from Investing Activities (specifically,
the proceeds from sales and contributions of properties as part
of our real estate
63
development and operations businesses) to fund dividends and
distributions not covered by Cash Flows from Operating
Activities.

Development Pipeline. As of March 31,
2009, we had 43 projects in the development pipeline on an owned
and managed basis which are expected to total approximately
11.8 million square feet and have an aggregate
64
estimated investment of $912.5 million upon completion, net
of $71.1 million of real estate impairment losses. Two of
these projects totaling approximately 0.4 million square
feet with an aggregate estimated investment of
$37.5 million are held in an unconsolidated co-investment
venture. We had an additional 15 development projects held for
sale or contribution totaling approximately 4.1 million
square feet, with an aggregate estimated investment of
$515.3 million, net of $34.8 million of cumulative
real estate impairment losses, and an aggregate net book value
of $537.9 million. As of March 31, 2009, on an owned
and managed basis, we and our development joint venture partners
have funded an aggregate of $824.3 million, or 84%, of the
total estimated investment before the impact of real estate
investment losses and will need to fund an estimated additional
$159.2 million, or 16%, in order to complete our
development pipeline. The development pipeline, at
March 31, 2009, included projects expected to be completed
through the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition to our committed
development pipeline, we hold a total of 2,485 acres of
land for future development or sale, on an owned and managed
basis, approximately 86% of which is located in North America,
including 77 acres that are held in an unconsolidated joint
venture. We currently estimate that these 2,485 acres of
land could support approximately 45.0 million square feet
of future development.
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 1 to 54 years. These buildings and improvements
subject to ground leases are amortized ratably over the lesser
of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.
Co-Investment Ventures. Through the operating
partnership, we enter into co-investment ventures with
institutional investors. These co-investment ventures are
managed by our private capital group and provide us with an
additional source of capital to fund acquisitions, development
projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital
income. As of March 31, 2009, we had investments in
co-investment ventures with a gross book value of
$1.2 billion, which are consolidated for financial
reporting purposes, and net equity investments in five
unconsolidated co-investment ventures of $361.7 million and
a gross book value of $6.4 billion. As of March 31,
2009, we may make additional capital contributions to current
and planned co-investment ventures of up to $73.1 million
pursuant to the terms of the co-investment venture agreements.
From time to time, we may raise additional equity commitments
for AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an
open-ended unconsolidated co-investment venture formed in 2004
with institutional investors, most of whom invest through a
private real estate investment trust, and for AMB Europe
Fund I, FCP-FIS, an open-ended unconsolidated co-investment
venture formed in 2007 with institutional investors. This would
increase our obligation to make additional capital commitments
to these ventures. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership
agreement of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and
the management regulations of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS,
we are obligated to contribute 20% of the total equity
commitments until such time when our total equity commitment is
greater than $150.0 million or 150.0 million Euros,
respectively, at which time, our obligation is reduced to 10% of
the total equity commitments. We expect to fund these
contributions with cash from operations, borrowings under our
credit facilities, debt or equity issuances or net proceeds from
property divestitures, which could adversely affect our cash
flow.
Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001,
we formed a wholly owned captive insurance company, Arcata
National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance
coverage for all or a portion of losses below the attachment
point of our third-party insurance policies. The captive
insurance company is one element of our overall risk management
program. We capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable
regulatory requirements. Arcata establishes annual premiums
based on projections derived from the past loss experience of
our properties. Like premiums paid to third-party insurance
companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be reimbursed by
customers pursuant to specific lease terms. Through this
structure, we think that we have more comprehensive insurance
coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be
available in the market.
Potential Contingent and Unknown
Liabilities. Contingent and unknown liabilities
may include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
liabilities for environmental conditions;
|
|
|
|
losses in excess of insured coverage;
|
|
|
|
claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our
predecessors prior to our formation or acquisition transactions
that had not been asserted or were unknown prior to our
formation or acquisition transactions;
|
65
|
|
|
|
|
claims for indemnification by the general partners, officers and
directors and others indemnified by the former owners of our
properties;

|

OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Standby Letters of Credit. As of
March 31, 2009, we had provided approximately
$22.5 million in letters of credit, of which
$16.5 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 and Contribution
Obligations. Excluding parent guarantees
associated with debt or contribution obligations as discussed in
Part I, Item 1: Notes 6 and 8 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, as of March 31,
2009, we had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations
in the aggregate amount of $440.3 million as described
below.
As of March 31, 2009, we had outstanding bank guarantees in
the amount of $26.3 million used to secure contingent
obligations, primarily obligations under development and
purchase agreements, including $0.7 million guaranteed
under a purchase agreement entered into by an unconsolidated
joint venture. As of March 31, 2009, we also guaranteed
$51.0 million and $102.4 million on outstanding loans
on six of our consolidated joint ventures and four of our
unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
Also, we have entered into contribution agreements with certain
of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. These contribution
agreements require us to make additional capital contributions
to the applicable co-investment venture fund upon certain
defaults by the co-investment venture of certain of its debt
obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital
contributions will cover all or part of the applicable
co-investment ventures debt obligation and may be greater
than our share of the co-investment ventures debt
obligation or the value of our share of any property securing
such debt. Our contribution obligations under these agreements
will be reduced by the amounts recovered by the lender and the
fair market value of the property, if any, used to secure the
debt and obtained by the lender upon default. Our potential
obligations under these contribution agreements total
$260.6 million as of March 31, 2009.
67
On May 30, 2008, the operating partnership entered into a
142.0 million
Euro 364-day
multi-currency revolving facility agreement (approximately
$198.4 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange
rate at December 31, 2008) and related guarantee as
loan guarantor with our affiliate AMB Fund Management
S.à.r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS,
certain of our European affiliates, ING Real Estate Finance N.V.
and certain of its European affiliates and ING Real Estate
Finance N.V. The facility agreement provided that certain of the
affiliates of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS may borrow
unsecured loans in an aggregate amount of up to
142.0 million Euros (approximately $198.4 million in
U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at December 31,
2008) all of which were repayable 364 days after the date
of the facility agreement (unless otherwise agreed). All amounts
owed under the facility agreement were guaranteed by the
operating partnership. AMB Fund Management S.á.r.l. on
behalf of AMB Europe Fund I,
FCP-FIS
indemnified the operating partnership for all of its obligations
under the guarantee. On December 29, 2008, the operating
partnership terminated the facility agreement and related
guarantee. Prior to the termination of the facility agreement,
four of our European affiliates that were subsidiaries of AMB
Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS holding real property interests in
Germany were borrowers under such facility agreement. The
outstanding borrowed amount of our European affiliate borrowers
under such facility agreement was repaid in full on
December 29, 2008. In connection with the payment in full
under, and the termination of, this facility agreement, our
European affiliate borrowers
and/or their
affiliates borrowed funds under an existing credit facility held
by AMB Europe Fund I,
FCP-FIS, and
entered new
5-year term
loans with the lender in the aggregate amount of
50.2 million Euros (approximately $70.1 million in
U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of
December 31, 2008) under such facility. The borrowed
funds were used to repay the outstanding amounts under the
terminated 142.0 million Euro credit facility. The
operating partnership agreed to guarantee the 50.2 million
Euros amount borrowed under such existing credit facility only
until the security interests were granted, at which time the
guarantees would be extinguished. As of March 31, 2009, the
European affiliate borrowers had granted security interests to
the lender, as the security agent, under and in accordance with
the terms of such facility, and the guarantees of the operating
partnership had been fully extinguished.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of
March 31, 2009, we had outstanding performance and surety
bonds in an aggregate amount of $17.8 million. These bonds
were issued in connection with certain of our development
projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations
and the construction of certain real property improvements and
infrastructure. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and
expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of
the improvements and infrastructure.
Promote Interests and Other Contractual
Obligations. Upon the achievement of certain
return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, we may
be obligated to make payments to certain of our joint venture
partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their
contractual agreements with us. From time to time in the normal
course of our business, we enter into various contracts with
third parties that may obligate us to make payments, pay
promotes, or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of
certain events.
SUPPLEMENTAL
EARNINGS MEASURES
Funds
From Operations (FFO) and Funds From Operations Per
Share and Unit (FFOPS)
We believe that net (loss) income, as defined by U.S. GAAP,
is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider
funds from operations, or FFO, and FFO per share and unit, or
FFOPS, to be useful supplemental measures of our operating
performance. We define FFOPS as FFO per fully diluted weighted
average share of our common stock and operating partnership
units. We calculate FFO as net (loss) income available to common
stockholders, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, less
gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for
investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and
adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of consolidated
and unconsolidated joint ventures.
We include the gains from development, including those from
value-added conversion projects, before depreciation recapture,
as a component of FFO. We believe that value-added conversion
dispositions are in substance land sales and as such should be
included in FFO, consistent with the real estate investment
trust industrys long standing practice to include gains on
the sale of land in FFO. However, our interpretation of FFO or
FFOPS may not be consistent with the views of others in the real
estate investment trust industry, who may consider
68
it to be a divergence from the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) definition, and
may not be comparable to FFO or FFOPS reported by other real
estate investment trusts that interpret the current NAREIT
definition differently than we do. In connection with the
formation of a joint venture, we may warehouse assets that are
acquired with the intent to contribute these assets to the newly
formed venture. Some of the properties held for contribution
may, under certain circumstances, be required to be depreciated
under U.S. GAAP. If this circumstance arises, we intend to
include in our calculation of FFO gains or losses related to the
contribution of previously depreciated real estate to joint
ventures. Although such a change, if instituted, will be a
departure from the current NAREIT definition, we believe such
calculation of FFO will better reflect the value created as a
result of the contributions. To date, we have not included gains
or losses from the contribution of previously depreciated
warehoused assets in FFO.
We believe that FFO and FFOPS are meaningful supplemental
measures of our operating performance because historical cost
accounting for real estate assets in accordance with
U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate
assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through
depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real
estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and
other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have
considered presentation of operating results for real estate
companies that use historical cost accounting to be
insufficient. Thus, FFO and FFOPS are supplemental measures of
operating performance for real estate investment trusts that
exclude historical cost depreciation and amortization, among
other items, from net (loss) income available to common
stockholders, as defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe that the
use of FFO and FFOPS, combined with the required U.S. GAAP
presentations, has been beneficial in improving the
understanding of operating results of real estate investment
trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of
operating results among such companies more meaningful. We
consider FFO and FFOPS to be useful measures for reviewing
comparative operating and financial performance because, by
excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously
depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate
depreciation and amortization, FFO and FFOPS can help the
investing public compare the operating performance of a
companys real estate between periods or as compared to
other companies. While FFO and FFOPS are relevant and widely
used measures of operating performance of real estate investment
trusts, FFO and FFOPS do not represent cash flow from operations
or net (loss) income as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not
be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating
our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and FFOPS also do
not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures
related to our real estate assets nor are FFO and FFOPS
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash
requirements. Management compensates for the limitations of FFO
and FFOPS by providing investors with financial statements
prepared according to U.S. GAAP, along with this detailed
discussion of FFO and FFOPS and a reconciliation of FFO and
FFOPS to net (loss) income available to common stockholders, a
U.S. GAAP measurement.

for FFO distributed through declared dividends and allocated to
all participating securities (weighted average common shares and
units outstanding and unvested restricted shares outstanding)
under the two-class method. Under this method, the numerator for
the calculation of both basic and diluted FFO per common share
and unit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was
$(102,444). For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the
numerator for calculation of both basic and diluted EPS
available to common stockholders was $67,234. |
SS
NOI
We believe that net (loss) income, as defined by GAAP, is the
most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider same
store net operating income, or SS NOI, and cash-basis SS NOI to
be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance.
Properties that are considered part of the same store pool
include all properties that were owned, or owned and managed, as
the case may be, as of the end of both the current and prior
year reporting periods and exclude development properties for
both the current and prior reporting periods. The same store
pool is set annually and excludes properties purchased and
developments stabilized after December 31, 2007 (generally
defined as properties that are 90% occupied or pre-leased or
properties that have been substantially complete for at least
12 months). In deriving SS NOI, we define net operating
income as rental revenues, including reimbursements, less
property operating expenses, both of which are calculated in
accordance with GAAP. Property operating expenses exclude
depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses
and interest expense. In calculating cash-basis SS NOI, we
exclude straight-line rents and amortization of lease
intangibles from the
70
calculation of SS NOI. We consider cash-basis SS NOI to be an
appropriate and useful supplemental performance measure because
it reflects the operating performance of our real estate
portfolio excluding effects of non-cash adjustments and provides
a better measure of actual cash-basis rental growth for a
year-over-year
comparison. In addition, we believe that SS NOI and cash-basis
SS NOI help the investing public compare our operating
performance with that of other companies. While SS NOI and
cash-basis SS NOI are relevant and widely used measures of
operating performance of real estate investment trusts, they do
not represent cash flow from operations or net (loss) income as
defined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to
those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating
performance. SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI also do not reflect
general and administrative expenses, interest expense,
depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and
leasing costs, or trends in development and construction
activities that could materially impact our results from
operations. Further, our computation of SS NOI and cash-basis SS
NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate
companies, as they may use different methodologies for
calculating these measures.
The following table reconciles SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI from
net (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008 (dollars in thousands):

As of March 31, 2009, we had investments in
7.4 million square feet of operating properties through our
investments in non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures and
0.1 million square feet, which is the location of our
global headquarters. |
|

|
On a consolidated basis, we had approximately 73.4 million
rentable square feet with an occupancy rate of 91.9% at
March 31, 2009. |
|

|
Rent changes on renewals and rollovers are calculated as the
difference, weighted by square feet, of the net ABR due the
first month of a term commencement and the net ABR due the
last month of the former customers term. If free rent is
granted, then the first positive full rent value is used as a
point of comparison. The rental amounts exclude base stop
amounts, holdover rent and premium rent charges. If either the
previous or current lease terms are under 12 months, then
they are excluded from this calculation. If the lease is first
generation or there is no prior lease for comparison, then it is
excluded from this calculation. |
|
(5) |
|
Second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions
per square foot are the total cost of tenant improvements,
leasing commissions and other leasing costs incurred during
leasing of second generation space divided by the total square
feet leased. Costs incurred prior to leasing available space are
not included until such space is leased. Second generation space
excludes newly developed square footage or square footage vacant
at acquisition. |

Rent changes on renewals and rollovers are calculated as the
difference, weighted by square feet, of the net annualized base
rent (ABR) due the first month of a term commencement and the
net ABR due the last month of the former customers
term. If free rent is granted, then the first positive full rent
value is used as a point of comparison. The rental amounts

Item 3.
|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market
prices, interest rates and international exchange rates. Our
future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing
market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching
projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing
activities with projected cash outflows for debt service,
acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to
stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The
majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which
minimize the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to
market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection
with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings
and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval,
thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could
adversely affect our cash flows. As of March 31, 2009, we
had three outstanding interest rate swaps, two interest rate
caps, and two outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts
with an aggregate notional amount of $1.15 billion (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 at
book value and estimated fair value before unamortized net
discounts of $9.7 million as of March 31, 2009

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased
or decreased by 10%, then the increase or decrease in interest
cost on our variable rate debt would be $1.4 million (net
of the swap) annually. As of March 31, 2009, the book value
and the estimated fair value of our total consolidated debt
(both secured and unsecured) was $3.2 billion and
$2.8 billion, respectively, based on our estimate of
current market interest rates.
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, variable
rate debt comprised 26.6% and 38.0%, respectively, of all our
outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $0.9 billion and
$1.5 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008.
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 as a separate component of stockholders equity 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, 2009 were
three interest rate swaps hedging cash flows of variable rate
borrowings based on U.S. LIBOR and four foreign exchange
forward contracts hedging intercompany loans.

International Operations. Our exposure to
market risk also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk.
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our
subsidiaries operating in the United States, Mexico and certain
subsidiaries in Europe. The functional currency for our
subsidiaries operating outside the United States, other than
Mexico and certain subsidiaries in Europe, is generally the
local currency of the country in which the entity or property is
located, mitigating the effect of foreign exchange gains and
losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the
U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into
U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the
exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. We
translate income statement accounts using the average exchange
rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions
using the rate on the transaction date. The (losses) gains
resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income as a separate component of
stockholders equity and totaled $(34.0) million and
$29.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.
Our international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated
in currencies other than their functional currency. In these
instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at
the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities
are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the
period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the
average exchange rate for the period. We also record gains or
losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third
party, denominated in a currency other than the 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. For
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
76
total unrealized and realized losses from remeasurement and
translation included in our results of operations were
$4.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Item 4.
|
Controls
and Procedures
|
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and
Exchange 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 may be substantially more limited
than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated
subsidiaries.
As required by
Rule 13a-15(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation
of our management, including our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in
effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report.
Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer each concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

|
Legal
Proceedings
|
As of March 31, 2009, there were no material pending legal
proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our
properties is the subject, the determination of which we
anticipate would have a material effect upon our financial
condition and results of operations.
The risk factors discussed under the heading Risk
Factors and elsewhere in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008, and any amendments
thereto, continue to apply to our business.

Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In December 2007, our board of directors approved a two-year
common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to
$200.0 million of our common stock. This plan expires on
December 31, 2009. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, we did not repurchase any shares of our
common stock. We have the authorization to repurchase up to an
additional $112.3 million of our common stock under this
program.
